Check out our new initiative involving the Chicago Bears

Editor Kate Schott 815-280-4119 kschott@shawmedia.com

True story: My first love letter was written to Jim McMahon.

It was late 1985, early 1986, and students at my elementary school were asked to write letters to members of the Chicago Bears as they headed to Super Bowl XX. Probably in large part from the quarterback’s appearance in “The Super Bowl Shuffle,” I chose to write to McMahon.

I can’t imagine it was filled with anything remotely deep – how profound can you be when you’re in first grade? – but I remember being excited about lovingly writing to a member of my favorite football team (had I known I was going to wind up in Joliet nearly 30 years later, maybe I would have written to Tom Thayer).

While McMahon isn’t my favorite athlete anymore (Blackhawks players Brent Seabrook and Patrick Sharp have that distinction), my love for the Bears hasn’t waned since that 7-year-old wrote him all those years ago (how I would love to get my hands on that letter).

Which is why it’s exciting to be a part of Shaw Media, the company – along with the Daily Herald Media Group – producing Chicago Football, which hit newsstands last week.

The bridge had remained open with limited lane closures since work started Wednesday.

The job had been scheduled for an April 16 completion date.

Eight Will County students are named Golden Apple Scholars

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, April 13, 2014

FRANKFORT – Katelyn Lowery spends an hour each day working with students with special needs in gym class, but that one hour isn’t enough.

“This is my favorite class of the day by far,” said the senior at Lincoln-Way North High School. Lowery had just finished working with a fellow student on stretching and cardio exercises. “Taking this class made me want to become a teacher.”

Lowery got one step closer to her goal this year when she was selected as a 2014 Golden Apple Scholar.

The nonprofit Golden Apple Scholars program, formed in 1989, provides tuition assistance during undergraduate studies to prepare students to teach children in challenging school environments. Lowery, 18, of Frankfort is among 175 students statewide, and eight students in Will County, to receive the award, out of more than 1,600 nominations.

Lowery, who has participated in the school’s peer assistance program since her junior year, said she hopes to one day have a career centered around teaching students with special needs.

Working closely with students with disabilities during her high school years has not Sydney only prepared Banks Lowery for a career in teachBolingbrook ing, she said. It makes her happy.

“To be able to help them accomplish something they couldn’t do beJamal Bruce fore is the best Romeoville feeling in the world,” she said. “They have such determination to do anything. It’s so inspiring and makes you want to push yourself even harder.”

ASPIRING TEACHERS REWARDED

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Jimmy Brinkmeyer (front), 10, is helped with a division problem Thursday afternoon by Daniel Lacy at Stevens Intermediate School in Wilmington. Lacy is a senior at Wilmington High School and is one of the eight local 2014 Golden Apple Scholars, a program that fosters young educators and provides tuition assistance for college.

The Golden Apple program has been proven to improve graduation rates among participants, most of whom are the first in their family to attend college Emily and come from low-income Durham households, acLemont cording to the nonprofit.

Joliet Township High School senior Osha King, said she falls into that category.

Osha King “I come Joliet from a low-income household. We’re on food stamps ... but I don’t let that affect me because I know that I am striving for better,” King said. “That is what I try to tell

everyone. That’s not something you should be proud of.

You should be trying to work out of that, but that’s not something you want to live off the rest of your Courtney life.”

It’s estimatMiller ed that half of New Lenox Golden Apple Scholars end up earning more in their first year of teaching than their total household income at the Antonia time they apSantiago plied to college.

Bolingbrook King said she plans to attend Illinois State University in the fall. But before that, she and other Golden Apple Scholars will head to DePaul

2014 Golden Apple Scholars from Will County: • Sydney Banks, Bolingbrook, Bolingbrook High School • Antonia Santiago, Bolingbrook, Bolingbrook High School • Jamal Bruce, Romeoville, Plainfield East High School • Emily Durham, Lemont, Lemont High School • Osha King, Joliet, Joliet Central High School • Daniel Lacy, Wilmington, Wilmington High School • Katelyn Lowery, Frankfort, Lincoln-Way North • Courtney Miller, New Lenox, Lincoln-Way West University for a five-week residential program that goes over various teaching styles for higher-needs schools.

Wilmington High School senior Daniel Lacy is another 2014 Golden Apple Scholar.

The 18-year-old from Wilmington volunteers his time twice each week at LJ Stevens Intermediate School to tutor fifth-graders in math classes. He said he wants to be a math teacher one day.

“Younger kids need a role

model, and I like that I can be the person there who helps them,” he said.

Lacy said he hopes to work at schools with low-income students and students who struggle to keep up their grades.

“Even if the school’s not a good school, it still deserves good teachers. Even if it doesn’t necessarily qualify as a top school, it still deserves hard-working teachers,” he said.

Employers, job seekers crowd job fair Mini Job Fair Second event set for later this month What: Joliet Junior College will

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – So many employers wanted to attend the 15th annual Joliet Regional Job Fair that Joliet Junior College couldn’t fit them all in the building on Friday.

“We had a great variety of employers this year, but we could only fit in 60,” said Bridgett Beene, JJC’s director of career services. “We had 40 more on the waiting list.”

The college plans to hold a second “mini” job fair April 23 to accommodate the rest, Beene said.

The employers at Friday’s event were upbeat about job offerings in their prospective industries.

Jim Flood of Associated Integrated Chain Solutions, a warehousing services company, was looking for field service technicians for the materials handling industry. Jobs start at $18 per hour and the company provides service vans for their technicians.

“The way we were going last year alone, we hired more than 21 entry-level technicians,” Flood said. The company currently has nine openings, mostly in northern Illinois, he said.

Mark Brsan, a marketing general agent with Lincoln Heritage, was looking for 25 full-time agents to sell life insurance and funeral plans.

The sales jobs are commission-based, he said.

Brandi Campbell, human resources manager of Walco Tool and Engineering of Romeoville, was seeking applicants for machinist trainee and deburrer/assembler positions.

The jobs pay $14 to $16 and $12 per hour, respectively.

Walco has hired many students over the years from the JJC precision machining program, Campbell said.

Variety of job seekers Beene said she expected

host a second job fair When: 1 to 3 p.m. April 23 Where: C-Building Course, JJC Main Campus, 1215 Houbolt Road, Joliet For more information: Go to www.jjc.edu/jobfair about 900 job seekers – both students and nonstudents – at Friday’s fair.

Some, like student David Thomas, hoped to use their education to land a better job.

“I went back to school to pick up more skills to help,” Thomas said.

Thomas, 27, said he was looking for a position in information technology, but was open to a customer service position if it would help him get his foot in the door.

Bob Murnick recently lost his job in the construction industry and stopped by the fair to explore options.

“I’m staying optimistic,” Murnick said, though it has been tough finding a job commensurate with his experience and education.

Tina Lehpamer of Plainfield was seeking part-time work to supplement her other job. Her husband recently was laid off from Dominick’s when the supermarket chain shut down and also is looking for work, she said.

Lehpamer started out looking for an office position, but was told by some of the employers at the job fair that her caretaking skills would be useful in the health industry, too.

“This is the first time I’ve had to look for work since high school,” Lehpamer said.

Positions listed as available at the fair included forklift operators, laborers, homecare aides, analysts, engineers, recruiters, engineers, sales, machine operators, maintenance, nurses, clerks, cooks, security officers, fast food managers, surveyors, teaching, bank tellers and financial advisers.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Kimberly Koning’s digestive problem turned into a fight for her life.

Koning needed a liver transplant so badly, she was moved to the top of the donor list. When a doctor asked her why she should be the one to receive the transplant, Koning said, “I had nothing else to say but ‘I want to live.’ I wasn’t ready to give up on life.”

Koning, a nursing student at Joliet Junior College, shared her story Friday morning with Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White, students and officials from JJC and the city of Joliet during White’s “Be A Hero” public awareness campaign news conference at the college.

“Every time I think of signing up one person, I think about saving 25 lives or helping them improve the quality of life for individuals,” White said.

White said examples of teachers donating organs to students, and doctors to patients, show anybody can be a hero.

The Be A Hero campaign aims to register as many residents as possible to be donors.

More than 5.5 million out of 15 million people in Illinois already are registered, White said. But more than 5,000 are on donor waiting lists, and about 300 people die annually waiting for a transplant.

White is partnering with Illinois community colleges to spread awareness. The students with the top campaigns will receive internships and money through Donate Life Illinois partners.

JJC freshman Serena Brownfield was walking in the school when she noticed the setup for the news conference. Her mother was put on a waiting list for a liver transplant.

“I didn’t take organ dona-

These are family members. You can never get them back.”

Brownfield hopes the part-

nership between JJC and the Be A Hero campaign results in more students signing up to be donors.

“Especially for a junior college, it’s mindblowing for someone like White to come,”

JJC Student Government Association President Kailyn Harris said. “It’s very important for students to show support for the cause.”

Koning received her donation July 16, 2012, and said she has a renewed life and appreciation for donors. She plans to give back by becoming a nurse and potentially helping with organ donation.

“Please don’t take your organs to heaven,” Koning said.

“Heaven knows that we need them here.”

Guardian Angel Community Services moving from its old home

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Guardian Angel Community Services will move from its landmark location.

The brick building at Plainfield Road and Theodore Street, a former orphanage known locally as the Guardian Angel Home, has been acquired by the University of St. Francis, which plans to put its nursing college there.

The Joliet Franciscan order of nuns started Guardian Angel in 1897 and moved what was then an orphanage into the present location in

1925 and continued to own the building. The order also started the University of St. Francis in 1920.

The University of St. Francis board trustees approved the purchase Thursday, and it was announced Friday.

Sister Dolores Zemont, president of Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, said it is a good time for Guardian Angel to find another home because the large, old building had become difficult to maintain. She described the move as good for everyone involved.

“We needed to sell the building, and the university was willing to buy it for their

program so Guardian Angel Community Services needed to move,” she said. “It’s a winwin-win for all three institutions, so we’re all pleased with the various moves.”

Guardian Angel plans to move this summer to 168 N. Ottawa St. in downtown Joliet, and USF, which will renovate the existing building, is set to move its nursing college to the building in fall 2016.

The Guardian Angel building will become the new home for the Cecily and John Leach College of Nursing. The

nursing program needs more space, said Nancy Pohlman, the university’s executive director of community relations.

“We have a general need for space as well,” she said. “Certainly expanding our nursing college is very exciting for us.”

The move is a historic one for everyone involved, said Ines Kutlesa, chief executive officer for Guardian Angel Community Services. The new location will meet the needs of the organization, she said, which annually serves almost 30,000 people.

Illinois Concealed Carry Permit

“We’re excited to continue on our mission to help people improve the quality of their lives, and all of our operations will continue,” Kutlesa said.

Not included in the university’s purchase was the Franciscan Learning Center, which is not associated with Guardian Angel Community Services but is sponsored by Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate. The center will remain at Plainfield and Theodore.

“Patients reported a mean 88.9% improvement in back pain and better function... No patient required any invasive therapies (e.g. epidural injections, surgery).”

These are just two studies out of a dozen done in the last few years, all showing promising results.

COMMENTS ABOUT PREVIOUS TREATMENTS “The pain from my sciatica was unmanageable. I was very skeptical about trying chiropractic.

The spinal decomposition and electrical muscle stimulation has me feeling 90% better. I am amazed! I had been walking like an 85 year old.” Todd, Mokena “Bulging discs were causing so much sciatic pain I could barely sit down. After completing my treatments I am 95% better. I am so glad I called Dr. Beyer.” LeRoy, Matteson “I am 75 years old and could hardly golf anymore. I knew I had a couple of disc herniations so when I was referred to Dr. Beyer I decided to give his treatments a chance. I am hitting the ball further than ever. I am so happy with the results.” Howard, Tinley Park “I had been suffering with low and especially leg pain for four years. I was taking a lot of over the counter medication to get through the day. I heard about Dr. Beyer’s spinal decompression therapy for people with symptoms like mine. I wanted to try his treatments because I really wanted to avoid surgery. The treatments were so helpful for me.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – Police say one Hadley Middle School student recently sent an inappropriate photo to another student’s phone.

“This appears to be an isolated incident,” said Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas, who declined to provide the age or gender of the juveniles involved.

School administrators

called police Monday after the student who received the picture message showed it to another student. That second student informed the faculty, Kaupas said.

“At this point in the investigation we have one inappropriate photo sent to one phone,” Kaupas said Friday.

Kaupas said the parents and school staff are cooperating with the investigation.

“At this time it appears that a small number of students were involved,” Homer

Superintendent J. Michel Morrow said in a statement.

Morrow said some cellphones were confiscated and given to deputies and the school will consider possible disciplinary actions when the police investigation is finished.

Morrow said parents were notified about the incident Friday and social workers met with students “to discuss the dangers and implications of the inappropriate use of technology.”

JOLIET – The woman allegedly punched by a lawyer in a Braidwood bar testified Friday while wearing jail scrubs.

Caryn Miller, 27, turned herself in Thursday after learning Judge Edward Burmilla had issued a warrant for her arrest after she failed to appear in court.

Miller said she’d never seen attorney Kenneth Grnacek, 70, or bartender Kiley Murphy, 25, before Christmas Eve 2012 when she and a friend walked into the Korner Keg, 285 E. Main St. to see them arguing.

Grnacek had reportedly been drinking in the bar and ordered a pizza from Murphy that he said took too long to arrive.

“I didn’t think it was fair how he was treating somebody who was working. I thought it was rude,” said Miller, who has also worked as a bartender.

When Murphy ordered Grnacek to get out of the bar, Miller was on her way to the bathroom and said, “I think it’s time you should probably go,” she testified.

Grnacek turned and struck Miller in the mouth, giving her a bloody lip and knocking her down, she testified.

Burmilla ordered Miller released from jail after she finished testifying Friday morning. Grnacek took the stand Friday afternoon, but declined to comment about the case after court was dismissed.

Burmilla, who heard the case as part of a bench trial, is set to issue a decision April 22.

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Tom Giarrante plans to name Tuesday a successor to the District 4 council seat at the scheduled Joliet City Council meeting.

Former Councilwoman Susie Barber resigned March 5, citing health reasons that had prevented her attendance at City Council meetings for six

months.

Giarrante said he hoped the council would confirm his nomination Tuesday.

“I hope they have enough faith in me to pick someone representative of the district,” Giarrante said.

Giarrante said he interviewed eight people for the position. The mayor said he had hoped for more applicants, but was pleased with the quality of

the candidates who did apply.

Once a nominee is confirmed, Giarrante said he planned to reveal the names of the other candidates, after sending each a letter thanking them for their participation.

The last time the council appointed a new member was in 2010, when John Gerl was named to the District 3 seat left vacant by the departure of Anthony Uremovic.

All nominees must have lived in the district for at least one year and be eligible to vote in city elections.

The council will have 30 days to approve or reject the mayor’s selection.

If the council rejects the first candidate, the mayor will present a second candidate, whom the council again will have 30 days to approve or reject.

If the council rejects the second candidate, the mayor then can make a “temporary appointment” of one of the two candidates without council approval. The appointment remains in effect until another mayoral nominee receives a simple majority or until the post is filled by election.

The District 4 seat will be up for election in the April 7, 2015, general election.

New Lenox village budget up for vote on Monday

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

vices such as street maintenance were the result of the cold winter.

“The main thing with that was additional salt and overtime for plowing,” he said.

Board members also are set to consider approval of the proposed budget. The overall budget for the 20142015 year would be about $85 million, up from roughly $82 million from the current fis-

cal year, Carroll said.

The general fund for the budget, which includes funding for village departments, will be about $20.5 million, he said. The general fund from the current budget is about $19.8 million, he said.

The board will hold a public hearing on the budget at Monday’s meeting.

The village will also consider a contract for auditing

services from McGladrey LLP for $39,500. The Chicago-based firm would audit the financial statements of the village as well as the police pension fund. Carroll said the expenses for the audit would be included in the upcoming budget.

The Village Board meeting is at 7 p.m. at Village Hall, 1 Veterans Parkway, New Lenox.

The village accumulated about a $2 million increase in expenses for 23 programs and funds over the course of the current fiscal year,

which runs May 1 through April 30. Many of those programs and funds include police administration, traffic control, motor fuel tax fund and sewer capital improvement funds.

Village Administrator Kurt Carroll said these expenses take into account numerous funds the village approved during the year.

I turned to the Best Minds in Medicine for my cancer treatment.

Working on skyscrapers, I face challenges every day. But nothing could prepare me for cancer.

Worst of all, was the thought of never seeing my little girls grow up.

But Dr. Suh, and a dedicated team, got me through it.

That’s why I’m here.

John

We are at the Forefront of Cancer Care.

We diagnosed John with a germ cell tumor — a rare form of cancer.

Our team of doctors, researchers and rare cancer specialists was able to successfully treat John’s disease.

Helping people like John is a privilege.

I can’t imagine doing anything else.

That’s why I’m here.

D.C. proposal allows bigger trucks on road Threat to public safety, says one officer

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Amid some opposition, Congress is considering legislation that would allow larger, heavier trucks on the nation’s highways.

A union leader representing Illinois State Police troopers is calling the proposal a threat to public safety.

“As a trooper, I’ve spent a good portion of my life, and all my troopers have spent a good portion of their lives, a few inches from that fog line on the interstate and on the state highways and roadways,” Mike Powell, president of the Fraternal Order of Police Troopers Lodge 4. “Bigger trucks will mean more fatalities. It’s that simple.”

Powell went to Washington last week to lobby against the bill.

More than 120 people lost their lives to accidents involving large trucks in 2012, and two Illinois state troopers died within the last two years due to such accidents, Powell said.

Increasing the weight and size would only make things worse, he said.

The two proposals being discussed at the federal level would increase the maximum weight limit of single trailer trucks without a special use permit from 80,000 to 97,000 pounds, allow for the use of triple trailers and increase max-

imum tandem trailer length from 28.5 feet to 33 feet.

Supporters, including some trucking companies, say the increase in size and weight would make trips more efficient for haulers like FedEx and UPS. U.S. Rep. Bill Foster isn’t entirely sold on the proposal, saying in an email he wants to wait for the results from an upcoming U.S. Department of Transportation study on the matter before taking a position.

“As a scientist and businessman, I always try to study the facts before taking a position on an issue,” said Foster, D-Naperville. “They are expected to release a report in November, and I’ll be looking closely at that to determine how it will impact our community.”

Matt Hart, executive director for the Illinois Trucking Association, said the nonprofit organization is neutral to the proposed changes.

The last time gross trucking weight limits were increased at the federal level was decades ago, he said.

“When that happened, we didn’t really see a benefit from the trucking industry’s point of view,” Hart said. “The shippers, they benefited, because they started asking truckers to haul more freight at the same rate. That just put more pressure on us from the shippers, and our members didn’t really see a benefit.”

Woman, 76, dies in Tinley Park house fire

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com TINLEY PARK – A 76-yearold woman was killed in a house fire Friday.

Patricia Clausen was pronounced dead at 9:01 p.m. in the emergency room of Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, according to the Will County Coroner’s office. It appears

n What: Joliet Junior College will debut its new Omnistar Digital Planetarium Projector to the public. Cookies and punch will be available as refreshments. n When: 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 15 n Where: Herbert Trackman Planetarium, F Building, Joliet Junior College Main Campus, 1215 Houbolt Road, Joliet

Other programs look at planets that can support life, telescopes, Larry Cat on the Moon (a show for kindergartners) and the astronomer Galileo Galilei. One show even focuses on starfish, and looks at life in the oceans.

Tuesday’s show will be a planetarium standard – seasonal skies, Maurer said. The program starts at 7:30 p.m.

“Anything that’s new and coming up I can work in there,” Maurer said. For instance, Mars, which is now appearing brightly in the evening sky, and the moon, which will undergo a lunar eclipse Tuesday morning.

Shows are free and open to the public. The facility had 1,142 visitors last month, 900 of whom were grade-school students, Maurer said.

“You really have to be on your toes with second-, thirdand fourth-graders,” Maurer said. “They do know their astronomy.”

The new projector is con-

trolled by pair of powerful computers, Maurer said. It has the ability to draw data from current satellites to offer a more interactive viewing experience and a wider variety of shows. It can display views of stars from Earth, the Milky Way and beyond.

The projector also can display historic satellite data to show what Earth looked like from space years ago. It can link up with other college planetariums around the world.

“I’m still learning about the equipment,” Maurer said.

“There’s a lot you can do with it.”

The planetarium is named after 1931 graduate Herbert Trackman who donated $86,000 in 1988 to upgrade the facility’s computers and add video and crossfading slide projectors.

Police: Man shot in shoulder by roommate

JOLIET – A gang member allegedly hid two handguns behind a tree before police approached him Friday.

Chief Brian Benton said police were called at 6:31 p.m. to the 200 block of Second Avenue after witnesses reported seeing a man walking down the street with a gun.

Aaron Vidales, 19, of the 1000 block of Edgerton Drive, who matched the suspect’s description, was walking away from two other men toward a tree when officers arrived.

“Officers checked behind the tree and recovered two loaded handguns. One of the handguns had previously been reported stolen to Joliet police,” Benton said.

Vidales was arrested on charges of unlawful use of a weapon, possession of a firearm by a street gang member, unauthorized possession of a firearm and possession of stolen firearm.

JOLIET TOWNSHIP – A man shot his roommate during a fight Saturday morning, police said.

The 50-year-old victim suffered a “through-and-through” gunshot wound to his shoulder and was treated at Silver Cross Hospital, Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said.

“It appears these two men were having a drinking party when an argument ensued,” Kaupas said.

Police were called at 7:10 a.m. to the residence in the 700 block of Osage Street where Barry W. Conley, 60, was taken into custody.

Kaupas said police recovered the gun used in the shooting and took other firearms from the residence.

Conley was charged with aggravated battery and aggravated discharge of a firearm.

His roommate is expected to survive, Kaupas said.

JOLIET – A new dawn has arisen for the Herbert Trackman Planetarium at Joliet Junior College.

The 41-year-old facility is scheduled to unveil its Omnistar digital planetarium at a public showing Tuesday.

The $186,000 projector, paid for through a grant from the Joliet Junior College Foundation, was installed in January. It replaces the old Spitz 512 projector, which has been used since the planetarium opened in 1973. The old projector will be put on display at the Joliet Area Historical Museum.

“The old one was mechanical. The new one is actually a pair of computers,” planetarium director Art Maurer said.

“It has a fisheye lens and can put anything on the dome. It does a complete dome show 360 degrees around and up to the top of the dome.”

In addition to the new projector, the planetarium’s sound equipment and lighting have been updated, and its dome cleaned and repainted.

The new equipment can project a variety of prepared shows, Maurer said.

A show on the solar system takes viewers up into space and talks about the sun and planets, and then voyages into deep space to explore the Milky Way and the Andromeda galaxy, Maurer said.

Police track down mugging suspect Surveillance video provides evidence

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police say a man mugged a woman at gunpoint and charged more than $500 on her credit cards before being arrested Thursday night.

Devonte D. Weddington, 21, of the 2100 block of Luther Avenue in Lockport, has been charged with armed robbery, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and three counts of identity theft.

Lt. Brian Dupuis said a 27-year-old woman came home about 7:20 p.m. to the

At 11:18 p.m. officers spotted the Impala in the 300 block of Water Street and pulled it over, Dupuis said.

Police searched the vehicle to find a handgun and the victim’s cellphone.

The woman who’d been driving the car was released without being charged while Weddington was booked into the Will County jail.

Grundy County looks at pay freezes

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy County Personnel Committee was unanimous Thursday night: There will be no pay raises for Grundy County board members or the board chairperson next fiscal year.

Pending approval from the Finance Committee and full County Board, each board member’s salary will be fixed at $6,500 a year and the chairperson’s salary at $42,500 a year.

The committee’s recommendation regarding the salaries of sheriff, county clerk and treasurer was not so clear-cut, as half of the six committee members favored

raises and the other half pushed for freezes.

State statute dictates the county set salaries for elected positions in four-year segments. The sheriff, county clerk and treasurer contracts being debated would set salaries for fiscal years 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

County Clerk Lana Philips, Treasurer Marcy Miller and Sheriff Kevin Callahan asked the committee to consider pay raises for their respective positions.

Personnel committee members Chris Balkema, Millie Dyer and David Welter opposed the increases while Ann Gill, John Almer and Ken Iverson favored them.

“We’re not going to solve

our budget problems on the backs of a few employees who work very hard for this county,” Iverson argued Thursday night.

Personnel Committee members that disagreed with the pay raises – including Chairwoman Vicki Geiger, who cannot vote – said county departments should be trimming their budgets.

Grundy County faces the loss of $1.8 million in sales tax revenue generated from the controversial point of sale taxing strategies used in Channahon and Morris. The two municipalities are in the middle of lawsuits with the Regional Transportation Authority.

“I’m concerned about what they have asked me to do as

head of Personnel Committee.

I’ve got to come up with 10 percent [in cuts],” Geiger said. “I don’t know how I’m going to do that without maybe people losing jobs, and I do not want people to lose jobs.”

During county discussions two years ago, the board planned to level the salaries of county clerk, treasurer, coroner and circuit clerk at $78,613. The coroner and circuit clerk were raised to that amount, but not the clerk and treasurer, who make $76,695.

“We need to bring [the clerk and treasurer] up to this amount as we talked about before, getting them all on a level playing field,” Gill said during the meeting.

The sheriff, who has a sal-

ary of $105,897, also asked for a raise.

“I feel that I’m very well compensated, currently,” Callahan told the committee.

“That being said, there has to be a gap between my salary, my chief deputy’s salary, my lieutenant’s salary and so on because of our structure.”

Callahan said with his 31 years of experience, he could return to the rank of patrol sergeant and his salary would be close to $104,000, which is near his current salary as sheriff.

Callahan proposed a 2 percent, per year increase for the next four years. If that was approved, the sheriff’s ending salary in fiscal 2018 would be $114,626.

Coal City school district approves summer projects

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – This summer, the Coal City Community Unit School District 1 will be replacing a school parking lot as well as storage facilities damaged by the November tornado.

District 1 board meeting last week, the board voted to accept the lowest responsible bid for parking lot maintenance from “D” Construction Inc. of Coal City with a base bid amount of $126,010.20 for the Summer 2014 Parking Lot Project.

The district received three bids for the project in February from Accu-Paving Company, Austin Tyler Construction Inc. and “D” Construction. At the March board meeting, the district accepted “D” Construction’s bid for the parking lot replacement at the Intermediate School, but tabled action on the maintenance bids that were submitted.

“At our March meeting we approved the resurfacing of the Intermediate School parking lot at a cost of $141,281,” Superintendent Kent Bugg said this week.

“We’ve held off on the project for three years, but we

have to get it done.”

He said due to the extreme winter conditions, maintenance of the other parking lots is needed as well.

“The board held off voting on the maintenance bids that were submitted, because they wanted to do more research,” Bugg said. “We have to get the project done.”

The maintenance bid includes crack filling, seal coating, re-striping and other repairs to the parking lots of all district facilities.

“We are doing things that will hopefully save us money down the road,” Bugg said.

The board also authorized the director of business services to go out for bids for storage buildings for the district.

Two storage buildings on property owned by the district on Spring Road were damaged by the November tornado and need to be leveled and rebuilt.

“Insurance will be paying to replace the buildings but we still have to go out to bid due to the estimated cost,” Bugg said.

One of the storage buildings is used to store items for a tenant farmer who rents property from the district.

As part of the contract, the

school provides the storage facility along with the acreage. The other building is used to store miscellaneous

equipment and supplies that don’t fit on other properties owned by the district.

“They will need to take

down the current structures and rebuild the new ones over the summer,” Bugg said.

It is the oldest nonprofit in Will County and was an orphanage until the early 1970s. In 1973, the agency became a licensed child welfare agency. It was renamed Guardian Angel Community Services in 2005.

LOCAL NEWS | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

According to a letter from Kutlesa, the move will come with significant costs, with furnishings, equipment, appliances and other items estimated to cost about $60,000. Agency officials are asking for contributions to cover the expenses.

For every $100 pledged, people will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a half-carat diamond in the cut of their choice from David Nelson Exquisite Jewelers in Joliet. The drawing will take place and winners contacted April 19.

’87 slaying of family unsolved, haunting

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press

ST. LOUIS – More than a quarter century later, the grisly, unsolved slaughter of Joeann Dardeen’s son, his pregnant wife and their young son in southern Illinois still haunts her.

Bludgeoned with a baseball bat along with her 3-year-old son, 30-year-old Ruby “Elaine” Dardeen gave birth during that 1987 attack in the family’s home in the 2,500-resident village of Ina. The killer took no mercy on the newborn either, ending her life as quickly as it began.

The household’s patriarch, Russell “Keith” Dardeen, turned up dead the next day in a wheat field, his body mutilated.

No one has been brought to justice in the Jefferson County case where the most promising lead was Tommy Lynn Sells’ claim he carried out the killings – among the as many

as 70 he took credit for in various states as a drifter and carnival worker. Authorities ultimately linked him to nearly two dozen murders. But because of questions about the veracity of his supposed confession, the Dardeen murders were not among them.

The answer to the question of whether Sells killed the Dardeens or the family’s killer is still on the loose is more elusive than ever. That’s because Sells, at 49, went to his own death earlier this month in a Texas execution chamber for the 1999 stabbing death of an acquaintance’s 13-year-old daughter.

Joeann Dardeen doesn’t believe Sells was the one who wiped out her son’s family.

She dismisses Sells’ claims that Keith Dardeen happened upon Sells at a gas station and invited him home for a threeway tryst with Dardeen’s pregnant wife. Keith Dardeen, the lead singer at a tiny Baptist church where his wife

played piano, was too protective of his family to entertain such a thing, his mother says.

“Tommy deserved to die for what he did, but I wanted him to stay alive until I know positively he didn’t do it,” Joeann Dardeen, a 76-year-old from Mount Carmel, Ill., told The Associated Press in a Friday telephone interview.

She sent police to check on her son’s family at their home, 80 miles southeast of St. Louis, on Nov. 17, 1987, after Keith Dardeen failed to show up for work at a local water plant.

Authorities found Elaine Dardeen with her son and her newborn baby all dead and positioned on a waterbed.

Hunters found Keith Dardeen’s body the next day a mile away.

“The brutality of the crime was just extreme, so terrible and egregious,” said Gary Duncan, the county’s top prosecutor for 17 years until his 2008 retirement. “It was a

constellation of really awful facts.”

Suspects were scarce before Sells got busted in Texas for killing 13-year-old Kaylene Harris by stabbing her 16 times. Sells soon began confessing to killings elsewhere.

The Texas investigator who first arrested Sells in Harris’ death said Sells often claimed he’d wake up in unfamiliar places and have blood on him. He said his tools of death ranged from guns and knives to an ice pick and his bare hands.

In claiming he was to blame for the Dardeen family’s demise, Sells accurately described certain details of the massacre, some of which he could have gleaned from media accounts. When quizzed about details never made public about how Elaine Dardeen’s body was found, Sells initially replied inaccurately, then blurted out the correct response. It’s possible

he merely deduced the right answer, Duncan said.

Sells also insisted he shot Keith Dardeen in a certain seat of the victim’s car, but evidence disproved that.

“There was a lot of ambiguity” in his claims, Duncan said. “But there also was nothing about what he said that would make his guilt completely discountable.”

Sells offered to be escorted back to Illinois to show where he hid key evidence, but, said Duncan, “it became clear Texas was not going to let him leave the state.”

So the prosecutor was stymied, unwilling to pin Sells with the Ina killings based on a questionable confession and no physical evidence. He could have been the killer, Duncan said, but there’s “a fair possibility that the actual killer may still be out there.”

“It’s that kind of case that will haunt everyone involved,” he said. “There’s just no end to that.”

Sen. Kirk pushes airport safety bill Bill would alert travelers about terminals with lax passport checks The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk wants the federal government to alert American air travelers about which airports around the world are failing to routinely check passengers for stolen passports.

The Illinois Republican has proposed legislation to require the U.S. State Department to publish a list of

airports that do not check passengers’ travel documents against Interpol’s database of lost or stolen passports.

The issue came to light during the investigation into the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner, which disappeared last month. Two Iranian passengers boarded that aircraft with stolen passports, though investigators say there’s no evidence either

man had anything to do with the plane’s disappearance.

It is believed the two men were trying to immigrate without legal permission to Europe.

Kirk told reporters in Chicago on Friday that U.S. travelers should at least be made aware of the potential security lapse when they travel to countries with weak passport checks.

The U.S. and Britain are among the few countries that reference passports against the Interpol data, Kirk said.

The database contains more than 40 million names, passport numbers and other identifying information.

“My concern is that Americans should know when they fly to those countries that do not routinely use [Interpol’s] database,” Kirk said.

Fort Hood victim laid to rest in Mo. The ASSOCIATED PRESS ROLLA, Mo. – A U.S. Army sergeant killed in last week’s shooting in Fort Hood, Texas, was been buried Saturday in the Missouri town where he went to high school and met his wife.

Sgt. Timothy Owens, originally from Effingham, Ill., was among three soldiers killed April 2 when a gunman fired on the military base. Sixteen others were wounded before the gunman committed suicide. The 37-year-old Owens, who served in Iraq and Kuwait, was buried in Rolla, Mo., where he lived in the 1990s.

The Rolla Daily News reported that as many as 75 motorcyclists from the Rolla Patriot Guard Riders accompanied the casket before the service at Rolla’s First Baptist Church and then to Lake Springs Cemetery in rural Phelps County.

As the casket left the church, Patriot Guard Riders, law enforcement and residents lined the sidewalk and saluted.

Rolla resident Bill Dobkins, a member of the Rolla Patriot Guard Riders, said he was once a neighbor of Owens’ wife and babysat for her.

Taking part in the escort was a “real honor” and a “humbling experience,” Dobkins said.

Owens, who dropped out of high school in 1995, earned an equivalency diploma after joining the Army in 2004. He

By DENISE LAVOIE and PAIGE SUTHERLAND The Associated Press BOSTON – Every time Roseann Sdoia comes home, she must climb 18 steps – six stairs into the building, 12 more to her apartment. It is an old building in Boston’s North End, with doors that are big and heavy, not an easy place for an amputee to live.

When she left the hospital, a month after the Boston marathon bombing, she had a choice: She could find another place to live, one more suitable for someone who wears a prosthetic that replaces most of her right leg. Or, she could stay.

“Early on when all this happened, so many people were telling me to move out of the city and move out of my apartment because of the stairs and I don’t have an elevator and parking is not very convenient,” she recalls. “But I have been able to get past all of that.”

In that, she mirrors Boston itself.

“I have to tell you, honestly, Boston is a better city now than it was before,” says Thomas Menino, Boston’s former mayor. “People learned how to deal with each other, they had to deal with a tragedy.”

Not that it’s been easy.

Three people were killed at last year’s Boston Mar-

Boston Marathon bombing survivor Roseann Sdoia works out on a rowing machine March 11 at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Boston. Sdoia goes to Spaulding twice a week for hour-long workouts with a physical therapist, and then she usually hops on the rowing machine to build her endurance after her therapy session. She aims to run again, a hobby she loved doing before her injury. athon, and more than 260 were injured, and the legacy of trauma and lost limbs remains – as does the shock of having endured a terrorist attack on Marathon on Monday. Nor can Bostonians forget the fear that gripped a city locked down in the midst of a manhunt.

But Boston has been able to get past all of that. Copley Square is no longer littered with impromptu tributes to the dead and injured; they’re now on display in an exhibit at the Boston Public Library, where Robert White of Lynn saw meaning in every teddy bear and pair of sneakers: “Every last one of the items says ‘Boston Strong’ or ‘I will return next year.’ ”

Roseann Sdoia is 46 years old, a vice president of property management for a Boston development company. She is a cheerful woman; she smiles broadly when she arrives at the Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in Charlestown for physical therapy.

“It’s just my nature,” she says. “I’m not a negative person. I’m not a Debbie Downer.”

Still, she says, she cries every day.

“What is sinking in is that life has changed,” she said, her face awash with tears.

Sdoia is a runner, but she did not take part in the marathon. She was at the finish line April 15, rooting for friends in the race, when

the second bomb went off.

Aside from her leg injury, she suffered hearing loss.

“Other than losing the bottom of my right leg, I’m still me,” she says. “I haven’t changed, I am still the same person I was before.”

And yet, so much has changed. She had to take more leave from the job she loved.

Winter, and snow, were tough to handle. She’s had to tackle daily tasks – showering, vacuuming – differently.

Marc Fucarile, a 35-yearold roofer from Stoneham, also lost his right leg from above the knee; he has shrapnel in his heart, and still could lose his left leg.

“Everything has changed,” he says. “How I use the bathroom, how I shower, how I brush my teeth, how I get in and out of bed.”

His 6-year-old son, Gavin, does not always understand.

“Gavin is like, ‘Hey, you want to go out and play?’ and I’m like, ‘There’s a foot of snow. I can’t do snow. We’re not going out and playing right now, sorry buddy.’ It breaks my heart.” *** In the first three months after the explosions, the One Fund collected nearly $61 million in donations. In the next five months, another $12 million in contributions came in.

This big-heartedness was mirrored by a sort of proud defiance, exemplified by “Boston Strong.” The amount of merchandise bearing the slogan was astonishing.

“In the immediate aftermath of the bombings, it became a peaceful mantra that people could repeat and believe in. And if they said it enough, tweeted it enough, hash-tagged it enough, it would actually be true,” said Dan Soleau, a brand development manager for Marathon Sports.

Jennifer Lawrence, a social worker at Boston Medical Center, said the emphasis on “Boston Strong” had some unhappy consequences.

“A lot of it is portraying that people are so resilient and so strong. While that is absolutely true, we are neglecting that people still have hard days,” she said.

In the aftermath of the bombings, more than 600 people took advantage of the medical center’s mental health services. And while most needed no help after the first few months, she has seen an increase in demand in recent weeks, as the anniversary approached.

Still, she said a “vast majority” of those who came through the hospital’s programs intend to attend this year’s marathon, either as bystanders or runners.

Couple: Truck was on fire before deadly California bus crash

By FENIT NIRAPPIL AND JOAN LOWY The Associated Press ORLAND, Calif. – A couple said a FedEx tractor-trailer was already on fire when it careened across a median, sideswiped their car and slammed into a bus carrying high school students, adding a new twist to the investigation of a crash that killed 10 people.

Initial reports by police indicated the truck swerved

to avoid a sedan that was traveling in the same direction in this town about 100 miles north of Sacramento, then went across the median.

There was no mention of the truck being on fire.

But Joe and Bonnie Duran, the Seattle-area couple who were in the car, said, like the bus, they were northbound on Interstate 5 on Thursday afternoon. Bonnie Duran, who was driving, told KNBC-TV in Los Angeles that flames were

coming from the lower rear of the truck cab.

“I just looked to the left, and there it was coming through right at me at an angle. I can tell I wasn’t going to outrun him, so I just kind of turned to the right and he hit me,” she said. “It was in flames as it came through the median. ...

It wasn’t like the whole thing was engulfed. It was coming up wrapping around him.”

The couple was not seriously injured. KNBC-TV reported

that the Durans would be formally interviewed Saturday by the California Highway Patrol before flying home.

Officer Lacey Heitman, a spokeswoman for California Highway Patrol, said she could not confirm if the truck was on fire before the collision until all evidence was gathered. National Transportation Safety Board spokesman Keith Holloway said the agency is investigating the condition of the truck before the

collision, including if it was on fire. FedEx spokeswoman Bonnie Harrison wouldn’t comment on the reports the truck was on fire.

When the tractor-trailer collided with the charter bus carrying high school students to a college campus tour in California’s redwood county, the vehicles exploded into towering flames and billowing black smoke. Bodies recovered from the bus were charred beyond recognition.

Abortion in cases of rape: New rifts in old debate

By DAVID CRARY The Associated Press NEW YORK – Poll after poll over many years has shown that Americans overwhelmingly support legal access to abortion for women impregnated by rape. Yet the issue remains divisive, as demonstrated by two current rifts – one involving U.S. aid policy overseas, the other highlighting strategy differences within the U.S. anti-abortion movement.

The National Right to Life Committee recently voted to cut ties with one of its most zealous state affiliates, Georgia Right to Life.

The move, which angered many anti-abortion activists nationwide, came after the affiliate defied instructions to endorse an anti-abortion bill in Congress because it included exceptions for rape and incest.

Georgia Right to Life’s president, Dan Becker, described the March 29 ouster as “a tragedy” but said his group would stick by its 14-year-old policy of consistently opposing exceptions for rape and incest. “GRTL will stand true to its mission and not be swayed by the prevailing political winds,” Becker said.

David O’Steen, executive director of National Right to Life, said his group and Becker’s share a long-term goal

of eliminating abortion. But short-term, he said, the national group is willing to support legislation that reduces the number of abortions, even if they have rape and incest exceptions.

Meanwhile, a loose coalition of abortion-rights and women’s-rights activists is growing increasingly frustrated with President Barack Obama’s administration. Despite years of lobbying, the activists have failed to persuade Obama to issue an executive order stipulating that U.S. foreign aid – though prohibited

by Congress from subsidizing abortions as a method of family planning – could be used to provide abortions for women raped in wars.

The New York-based Global Justice Center, leading the push for an executive order, said many thousands of woman have been impregnated by rapists during recent conflicts in Rwanda, Bosnia, Congo, Syria and elsewhere, and yet most major international humanitarian organization balk at offering abortions for fear of jeopardizing their U.S. funding.

“Since the U.S. is the largest humanitarian aid donor, its abortion ban has become the de facto policy in most war zones where rape is used as a weapon of war,” said the center’s legal director, Akila Radhakrishnan.

TEHRAN, Iran – Iran rejected naming a new diplomat Saturday to represent it at the United Nations, with one lawmaker urging the Islamic Republic to stand up to “bullying” from the U.S., which has rejected granting its pick a visa.

The standoff over Hamid Aboutalebi, a member of the group responsible for the 1979 takeover of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, comes as world powers negotiate with Hamid Iran over its contested nu- Aboutalebi clear program.

It also threatens to stir fresh animosity between countries that recently have seen their relations thaw.

The Obama administration said Friday that the U.S. had informed Iran it would not grant a visa to Aboutalebi, suggesting that behindthe-scenes discussions to get them to withdraw him from consideration failed. On Saturday, Iranian state television anchors discussed the U.S. rejection, with a crawl at the bottom of the screen reading: “The Foreign Ministry says Aboutalebi is Iran’s only choice as its U.N. envoy.”

Prominent lawmaker Alaeddin Boroujerdi said the

U.S. had no right to intervene in Iran’s U.N. envoy pick.

“Naming Aboutalebi as Iran’s U.N. envoy has nothing to do with the U.S. American opposition to Aboutalebi’s entry is a misuse of the geographical location of the U.N.,” the Iranian parliament’s website quoted Boroujerdi as saying Saturday. “The Iranian government should stand up to this U.S. bullying.”

Boroujerdi, who heads the Iranian parliament’s national security and foreign policy committee, urged Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif to write to U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to fight the U.S. decision.

Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi was quoted

by Iran’s semiofficial Mehr news agency as saying officials would pursue the issue “through anticipated legal channels at the U.N.” Aboutalebi is alleged to have participated in a Muslim student group that held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days during the embassy takeover. He has insisted his involvement in the group Muslim Students Following the Imam’s Line was limited to translation and negotiation.

Iran says he is one of the country’s best diplomats, and that he previously received a U.S. visa.

He already served at Iranian diplomatic missions in Australia, Belgium and Italy.

The International Monetary and Financial Committee meeting begins Saturday during the World Bank Group-International Monetary Fund Spring Meetings in Washington.

Finance officials: Global economy turns the corner The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The world’s top finance officials expressed confidence Saturday that the global economy finally has turned the corner to stronger growth. This time, they may be right.

Despite challenges that include market jitters about the Federal Reserve’s bond-buying slowdown and global tensions over Ukraine, policymakers said they believe there is a foundation for sustained growth that can provide jobs for the millions of people still looking for work five years after the worst recession since the Great Depression of the 1930s.

“Creating a more dynamic, sustainable, balanced and job-rich global economy remains our paramount collective goal,” the policy-setting panel of the 188-nation International Monetary Fund said in a concluding communique.

IMF Managing Director Christine Lagarde and the finance ministers who sit on the IMF’s policy panel said they believed the world had entered a new phase with stronger growth that will begin to make in-roads into unemployment that remains painfully high in many nations.

At a closing news conference, Lagarde referred to the years 2008 through 2010 as an economic “disaster” and she said now “we are moving into a strengthening phase.”

The IMF in its latest economic forecast predicted global growth would strengthen to 3.6 percent this year and an even better 3.9 percent in 2015.

That growth is being supported by a stronger recovery in the United States, which private economists believe could grow this year at the fastest pace in five years.

This strength in the world’s largest economy is helping to offset some slowing in major emerging markets such as China although emerging economies are still powering ahead at rates well ahead of developed nations., The finance officials acknowledged a number of threats to their forecast, ranging from periodic stock market jitters as investors worry that the Fed may mishandle its effort to gradually end the bond buying it has used to lower long-term interest rates to concerns that the political stand-off over Russia’s annexation of Crimea could undermine market confidence.

Dear Mr. Berko: My neighbor subscribes to The Value Line Investment Survey, which recommended the stock of Frontier Communications, which yields 7.5 percent, and Annaly Capital Management, which yields 11 percent. He gave me copies of Value Line’s write-ups on both stocks, and they look really good.

I recently retired and am rolling over $216,000 from my 401(k), in which the choices of mutual funds are very bad, to an individual retirement account. My neighbor, who retired from the same company two years ago, recently bought $10,000 of each for his IRA. And because we need as much income as we can get, he suggested that I buy stock in each of those companies, too. I would appreciate your opinion of these two stocks.

And could you also give me some recommendation of other high-paying stocks that are safe? – HM, Waterloo, Iowa Dear HM: I remember the chorus of a song from the early 1960s by Jimmie Rogers: “Never in a hundred, never in a thousand and never in a million years.” And that’s precisely how I feel about owning either of those issues in an IRA. Jumpin’ Jack Frost, I fear all is lost if Value Line is recommending these two dogs, because neither of those issues has any redeeming value. I suspect that the analyst at Value Line slipped his disk or thinks this is the year 2007.

VIEWS Malcom Berko tial and commercial customers in 27 states. Frontier also offers satellite video, data and Internet services such as high-speed Internet and portal and email products. Though FTR’s landline business is disappearing into the ethers and vapors, its broadband business has added about 100,000 new customers in the past 12 months. Management expects this growth to continue, albeit only over the short run. Other wireless providers are expanding their services with a 4G LTE network that is significantly faster than FTR’s DSL. This faster network puts FTR at a competitive disadvantage. However, Maggie Wilderotter, FTR’s chairwoman and CEO, is committed to DSL, and that could be very shortsighted on her part.

FTR’s revenues have been falling in the past few years, and Wall Street expects a decline to $4.6 billion this year.

But the good news is that earnings may rise from 23 cents to 25 cents in 2014. And though net profit margins should increase from 4.6 percent to 5 percent, the bad news is that the dividend isn’t covered and may not be covered for some time in the future.

In fact, the usually estimable Value Line suggests that the dividend may not fully secure.

FTR is not an investment I would care to own in my IRA – or in any other account, for that matter.

Annaly Capital Manage-

ment (NLY-$10.93) is one of those fangled mortgage real estate investment trusts that delighted investors with 14 to 18 percent yields just a few years back, when the stock was trading in the high $10s.

But oh boy, the buffalo chips really hit the fan in 2009, when earnings went into a free fall and book value began to tumble.

And in the process, NLY’s dividend declined every quarter, from 66 cents a quarter to 35 cents last year. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of investors seeking high yields continued to hold the stock, watching it fall from $20 all the way to $10.

NLY owns and manages about $90 billion in mortgage pass-through certificates, collateralized mortgage obligations and myriad other debt securities backed by pools of mortgage loans. This year, the Street believes that NLY’s revenues and earnings will be flat, and the quarterly dividend was recently lowered to 30 cents a quarter. However, Market Edge and Bank of America believe that NLY has bottomed and that revenues and the dividend can rebound nicely late this year. I might consider owning this as an income speculation, but not in a retirement account. Stay away from that neighbor (I’m sure he means well), and future columns may discuss some high-income issues, so keep reading.

OUR VIEW

Reducing money’s influence in politics There’s no doubt that money influences politics – in big ways.

Big money influences politics in even bigger ways, sometimes leading to corruption.

That’s why there are federal caps on the amount of money someone can donate to a single candidate – now $2,600 for U.S. president or members of Congress.

But limiting the overall amount of money an individual can donate in a given year to multiple candidates, political parties and political action committees is an infringement on Americans’ First Amendment rights, whether we like the role money plays

in politics or not.

That’s why we agree with the recent ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court that strikes down federal limits on the overall campaign contributions an individual donor can make each election cycle.

If someone wants to donate the individual limit of $2,600 to all Democrats or all Republicans running for Congress in a given year, they should be allowed to do so without worrying about an overall cap, which had been set at $123,200 until last week’s ruling.

While we are worried about how those with big pockets can influence policy in Washington D.C., Spring-

field, or even locally, we think there’s a better way to reduce that influence than curbing individual freedoms – term limits.

While not perfect themselves, term limits weed out those politicians who make careers off accepting money from lobbyists and voting accordingly, at the expense of their constituents best interests. Because longtime incumbents are able to amass campaign war chests that they can use to fend off potential challengers, term limits also help to even the playing field somewhat for new candidates.

In Illinois, Speaker of the House Michael Madigan is the

poster child for term limits.

A member of the state House since 1971, he has been Speaker for all but two years since 1983. The vast majority of Illinoisans have not been able to cast a single vote either for or against Madigan, yet he holds the real power in Springfield.

Given where this state is financially, most Illinoisans, we suspect, would be in favor of his reign coming to an end.

There’s also plenty of precedent for term limits in the U.S. The 22nd Amendment of the U.S. Constitution limits an American president to two elected terms in office, or just one elected term if the president fills at least two years of another elected president’s

term. Thirty-six states have term limits for governor, and 15 states have term limits for their legislative branches.

Bruce Rauner, Republican candidate for Illinois governor, and the Committee for Legislative Reform and Term Limits are gathering signatures in an attempt to get a term limit amendment on the November ballot. We support efforts to give Illinois voters a say, and we’d support a similar effort nationally for members of Congress.

We’ll never fully be able to eliminate money’s influence on our elected officials, but term limits are a better option than curbing First Amendment rights.

If you believe money is speech, corporations are people, and the wealthiest 1 percent are a persecuted minority, then you will love the recent Supreme Court decision on campaign finance (McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission) and where it is pointing our political process.

To understand the meaning and impact of the decision, we have to look back at what the Supreme Court has already done to increase the power of big money in national politics.

Then we have to look forward to what, given the signals, the court intends to do next.

The guiding principle certainly seems to be getting rid of any limits on election spending by mega-donors.

Standard PACs can be directly affiliated with candidates and campaigns, but only individuals can make contri-

VIEWS Donna Brazile butions to a PAC. Additionally, there are limits on the size of contributions made to a PAC and on those made by the group to a candidate or party.

With the Citizens United decision in 2010, the Supreme Court gave a green light to wealthy donors giving unlimited amounts of money to super PACs. While super PACs cannot make contributions to candidates’ campaigns or parties, they can engage in unlimited political spending – supposedly independently of the campaigns.

But there are ways around that. In some instances, candidates have had longtime staff resign, then form and run the super PACs. Using super

PACs, mega-donors can, and have, carpet-bombed opposition candidates without the benefiting candidates themselves being held accountable for the negative campaigns.

Chief Justice John Roberts said the influence of a single contributor will be “significantly diluted by all the contributions from others,” and thus lessen the chances for corruption. However, in practice during the 2012 presidential election, the bulk of contributors to super PACs came from a handful of anonymous donors.

And now, the Supreme Court has whisked away the total limit on how many candidates, affiliated committees and standard PACs an individual can contribute to: While there remains a limit on how much money can be

Monetary Award Program funding critical for Illinois

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, April 13, 2014

We are again at a critical time of the year, where the governor proposes his budget and the debate ensues about how to strike the right balance between ever-increasing demands and scarcer resources in the state budget to meet them. Every program and every spending line will be scrutinized. Those supported should be the ones producing not only the best return on the state’s investment but also on the lives of Illinois residents. I write this to support one of those programs.

One area stands out where we believe the governor and his staff got it right: support for an increase in the Monetary Award Program (MAP), which provides grants for needy Illinois citizens to attend a community college, a public university, or a private college or university in Illinois. This investment in “human capital,” ultimately Illinois’ most precious resource, is vital to the state’s economy if we expect to get more of our citizens in the work force and compete for business with top tier states. And because MAP provides help based on student and family needs, it’s aimed specifically at those students who likely would not be able to attend college

VIEWS Dave Tretter without a scholarship.

President Barack Obama, along with Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, has adopted goals aimed at raising the proportion of Americans with high-quality degrees and credentials to 60 percent by the year 2025. This is a high bar, and to meet it we must boost the number of college degree holders among traditionally underserved students: low-income students, students of color, first-generation students and adult learners. Illinois is inching along toward that goal. But leading states have raised that bar to as high as 8 percent, recognizing that the overwhelming majority of future jobs will require education well beyond high school. We need to do more, and MAP is the mechanism to make it happen.

And while it’s well-documented that college graduates earn significantly more over their lifetimes, there are a number of less talked about “cost-saving” benefits that should be considered in any policy discussion.

According to a 2013 College Board study titled “Educa-

tion Pays,” an individual with a bachelor’s degree: • has an unemployment rate that is one half that of a high school graduate • were much more likely to be covered by employer-provided health insurance plan than a high school graduate • participated in Public Assistance Programs like SNAP (formerly Food Stamps) at one-sixth the level of a high school graduate • were less likely to smoke and exercised more than high school graduates • are civically involved in their communities at a rate twice that of high school graduates • were twice as likely to vote as high school graduates of the same age As we look across state government, we see few programs that have a proven record of success that MAP does. When we invest in our citizens, we all benefit from the hand up, not a hand out.

My hope is legislators will embrace the governor’s call for increased MAP funding this spring and keep the pipeline to our campuses and a better future flowing strong.

• Dave Tretter is the president of the Federation of Independent Illinois Colleges and Universities.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Start helping at home To the Editor: Here we go the political race is on. We have Jeb Bush saying, crossing our borders is not a felony, but a act of love for family. If this is the case we need to release inmates who stole to feed their families, this is also an act of love.

And yes, I am not happy with the Democrats answers to illegal immigration either. As for an act of love let’s help legal

citizens. With health care for all, jobs, housing food and unemployment benefits – and most importantly – more help for the starving homeless veterans.

And this is just a small list of things we can do. I don’t understand all the money we give to help the wealthy and other countries. When it comes to helping the people in our country, they let Jeb Bush say “No.” Come on people of America,

we need to wake up. The ones in charge of our country have convinced us if we help the needy it is a bad thing. We need to change this or we will all wake up as being needy.

When is it enough after it is to late. God bless us all, we will need someone’s help if we don’t start getting the right change for legal citizens.

Citizens United opens ‘door’ • BRAZILE

Continued from page 39 given to any one candidate, committee or PAC, there is no limit on the number of contributions.

Before the decision, an individual donor could only give a total of $123,200 to political candidates and committees during any twoyear election cycle. After last week’s Supreme Court decision, a single donor will be able to give $3.6 million dollars in this same twoyear election cycle.

That $3.6 million is a drop in the bucket compared to the $100 million that casino magnate and Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson spent in the 2012 cycle.

But this week’s McCutcheon decision certainly does not roll back the proliferation of money in our election cycles.

In the 2012 election cycle, spending by nonpolitical groups topped $1 billion, and super PACS (aided by the older Citizens United case), contributed $600 million to that final tally.

Citizens United also ushered in a new era of “dark money” groups – nonprofits that can legally unleash unlimited expenditures from anonymous contributors, such as for-profit corporations. These dark money groups spent $256 million in 2012. While many of them, including Karl Rove’s Crossroads GPS, had abysmal success records, the mere threat of these groups escalates the money race and makes public officials and candidates more beholden to high-dollar donors.

This case was decided by the narrowest margin, 5 to 4. In his dissent from the bench, Justice Stephen Breyer said that if the Citizens United decision “opened a door,” this decision “may well open a floodgate.”

Does anyone really think that before this latest decision – or even before the Citizens United decision – people who could afford to contribute $3.6 million to political campaigns were being denied their freedom

of speech?

As a former campaign strategist and manager, it’s difficult for me to understand what’s driving Chief Justice Roberts and his colleagues to allow so much money into our political process. Campaigns are about reaching people and educating them. While it requires resources, it doesn’t (or at least shouldn’t) take a billion dollars to win public office.

What is at stake is the basic American principle that, when it comes to elections for public office, we should all have an equal voice – one person, one vote. But, in campaign contributions, one person’s voice is amplified into potentially unlimited votes.

We already give the wealthy a proverbial megaphone in the political process; these decisions give them control over real TV airwaves. The sliver of the population that can afford to make millions of dollars in campaign contributions should not be able to make their money speak so loud that they drown out the rest of us.

In a free society, there are some infringements on free speech, especially when balancing against competing interests – like the transparency of democratic elections. Just as free speech does not include “the right to shout ‘fire’ in a crowded theater,” free speech in most states also does not include the right to give campaign leaflets less than 30 to 100 feet from the polling places.

The conservatives who control the Supreme Court just gave rich people a constitutional right to buy influence. They’ve created a new right for a tiny number of Americans (a “right” the rest of us cannot afford) and destroyed the long-held right to democratically enact rules to govern elections.

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – One of the things that Minooka girls track and field coach Kevin Gummerson has been most pleased with is his team’s success in a variety of events.

The Indians demonstrated that quality by winning five relays while claiming titles in two field events at Saturday’s Plainfield North Tiger Relays.

That combination helped Minooka to easily capture the championship in the 14team competition by a 13587.5 margin over second-place Yorkville.

Plainfield North (79), Joliet West (44) and Plainfield South (31) rounded out the top five teams, while Lemont (21) tied for eighth place.

“We have a great group of girls,” Gummerson said.

“This relay meet is fun since it gives you a chance to get a lot of girls in and there’s some unique events. I just like the way that our kids are competing and fighting and how they step onto the track with a goal in mind and they work hard to accomplish it. Today was a fun day for these kids.

“We’ve got a well-rounded team. I like what I see out of our field events, our sprint-

some big things indoors and we’re looking for some more good performances by year’s end.”

South won the 4x100 shuttle hurdle relay (1:15.34), took third place in the 4x800 (10:38.72) and was fourth in the distance medley (13:44.27) relays.

Also for the Cougars, Shelby Hibbler and Lenae Ludy tied for third place in the high jump (4-10) while Hayley Braun was fourth in the shot put (32-10).

“This is an exciting year for us,” Cougars coach Janeen Carlberg said. “We’re a young team with a lot of freshman who are pretty strong. We’re building in both the distance and the sprints. We always seemed to have one or the other and are now getting pretty solid in both.”

Lemont’s Jacque Desmond won the pole vault (10-6) while Viktorija Marmaite took first in the triple jump (33-6.5) and was fourth in the long jump (16-7.5).

Monique Devitt was fifth in the shot put (31-10.5) and fourth in the discus (101-10), where teammate Lauren Szoldaitis took fifth (101.7). The Indians also claimed fourth place in the 4x1,600 relay (23:12.81).

Knights coach pleased with team’s ‘D’

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, April 13, 2014

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way Central girls water polo coach Karen Desruisseaux admits that she likes low-scoring games where defensive play is critical.

That’s one of the reasons who she was pleased by how her Knights performed in Friday’s home contest with Lockport.

Central held the Porters scoreless into the second half and only allowed three scores on the afternoon as it went on to claim a 10-3 victory.

The Knights received three goals apiece in the opening two quarters to grab a 6-0 halftime lead. A Porter goal with one second left was the lone fourth-period tally.

“Our defense was really on,” Desruisseaux said. “We were trying not to foul them since they have some good shooters who will shoot from anywhere. So we had to play tight and not foul. Michelle Dundek, Kristi Howe and Delaney Shepherd are our go-to people and we know that we can put them on a team’s best shooters and they can limit them.

“All of the girls are playing really smart right now.

We still have some issues, but overall, today’s game was comfortable. And we’re getting some girls back from injury, and that was also nice.

Our girls are very hard-workers and they really want to get better.”

One of the players who the Knights recently got back from injury was senior captain Liz Klock, who paced all scorers with four goals.

Senior captain Kristi Howe also added three goals for the Knights while the Porters were led by senior captain Rachel Unger, who also collected three tallies in the nonconference game.

Central, which was the state runner-up last year and a state quarterfinalist the year before, still has plenty of players competing who were on those two squads.

But it also has a nice mix

“We’re ready to get better,” Knights sophomore Kim Bernhard said. “We notice the mistakes that we make during games and then we work on them. It was really amazing to be a part of last year’s team and I want to be an asset for this year’s team. I feel like having talented, knowledgeable people around helps some of our younger players.”

While things appear to be moving in a good direction for the Knights, the Porters are experiencing the usual struggles that occur when a squad graduates a big senior class.

But first-year coach Rick

DeLeon is encouraged about how his young squad that only features three seniors is battling more-experienced competition.

“We came off a tough week against teams with really good teams,” DeLeon said. “But we played really tough this week.

We got some JV kids into our

game with Stagg and got a 9-8 win and that was a huge success for us. Our last two games were tough but we’re happy to see the girls trying to get better and their chemistry was amazing.”

The Knights received a pair of goals from Klock to start things off and Bernhard

connected to give the hosts a 3-0 lead at the initial break.

It was more of the same in the second period as Klock scored and Kristi Howe put in two more shots to give Central a 6-0 halftime advantage.

Lockport finally got on the board with 4:18 left in the third when Unger put in a long shot.

The senior was in goal in the first half and then in the field the rest of the way.

After Central got goals from Michelle Dundek and Klock, Unger scored again.

The Knights closed out the third period with tallies from Nikki Howe and Kristi Howe.

The final quarter looked like it might be a shutout on both sides, but Unger tossed in an attempt just before the final buzzer to wrap up the scoring.

Joliet acting coach seeking local talent for DVD series

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND

“When I was in the business, I would have jumped over three cars and a bus to get here.”

dunland@shawmedia.com

J

OLIET – When Jan Novotny, principal at St. Joseph Academy in Joliet, was taking voice and acting lessons from Coral Rose in Joliet, she became stunned when Rose said, “We’re going to the Golden Halo Awards.”

These, Rose said, are presented by the Southern California Motion Picture Council.

Soon Novotny was on a plane bound for Hollywood.

The next day, she was sitting in the office of Paramount’s vice president, the “most elegant and pizzazz guy,” Novotny said.

Next, “mouth hanging open,” Novotny said she was attending an “elegant award dinner” amid such famous guests as Shirley Jones and two of the original “Wizard of Oz” munchkins and declining an invitation to attend the church of the Rev. Della Reese.

“Our flight was leaving the next day,” Novotny said.

With retirement of her acting instruction career imminent, Rose is recording a DVD series of her teaching methods. She’s currently seeking individuals with all levels of acting experience, ranging from none to professionally trained individuals, to be featured in those DVDs as Rose demonstrates techniques.

Rose has one reason why acting students should contact her for this project.

“Because their faces will be all over the world,” Rose said. “When I was in the business, I would have jumped over three cars and a bus to get there.”

Rose (her real last name is Gayle) is a multi-credentialed acting coach and owner of Screen Actors

Jimi Valentine of Joliet receives a drama lesson from his mother, Coral Rose, a Joliet acting coach.

Academy, which teaches the Stanislavsky method of acting, which early film stars learned, Rose said.

In an advertisement in the September 2013 “Beverly Hills Times,” Rose offered a two-week acting workshop in Hollywood. The workshop

featured “acting techniques, reacting to the camera, voiceover, earpiece, reading for auditions, speech and diction, blocking, scene study, pictures and marketing, cold reading, commercial copy, being creative, taking risks and developing an individual

style.”

And if that isn’t enough, Rose believes a year of Shakespeare instruction should be woven into the curriculum of any good acting instructor.

“You learn to pronounce all the vowels and consonants properly,” Rose said.

Unfortunately, Rose, said few acting instructors teach the Stanislavsky method, to the detriment of acting students. Instead, far too many “young hopefuls” head to Hollywood hoping ‘to be discovered.’

“There are no discoveries,” Rose said. “Kids just don’t want to do the work.

We’ve got a generation of ‘me, me, me.’ ” Rose’s interest in acting stemmed from her modeling work, which began when she was 17. Agencies would send Rose out for small film roles.

Eventually, Rose married,

raised two children and completed nursing school. A back injury ended nursing and sent Rose back to modeling and acting.

“My chiropractor said, ‘You’re out of work,’ ” Rose said. “At that time, nurses did a lot of bending over patients.”

Rose said she was doing some theater-in-the-round work where Cesar Romero was one of the actors. Rose said when Romero criticized her voice by saying, “You’ve got a voice like a ruptured crow,” she asked him how to correct it.

Romero, Rose said, recommended Ted Liss [now deceased] a Chicago acting coach. For six years, Rose said she took acting and directing classes from Liss, which led to a new career in voice-over work, as well as roles in film and theater, Rose said.

Eventually, Rose opened the Screen Actors Academy in California, closed it to take care of her dying father and then returned to reopen it, until her mother was dying and also needed care. So Rose moved her career to fit the situation.

“I opened up a school here,” Rose said.

Past school locations, Rose said, include Los Angeles, Chicago and San Diego. Rose now rents space at St. Joseph Academy, where she continues to teach acting. Contact Rose at 815-230-5795 or CoralRose47@yahoo.com.

LOCKPORT – For the second year in a row, John Lukasik, board president at Lockport Township High School District 205, has been named a recipient of the Presidential Volunteer Service Award.

Lukasik was one of few AT&T employees who was eligible for the award, which is given to individuals who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service each year. The award shares this achievement to inspire others to contribute to their communities through volunteer service.

The President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation distributes the awards.

Silver Cross provides scholarships to students NEW LENOX – The Silver Cross Healthy Community Commission announced it has allocated $10,000 worth of scholarships to the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists, Joliet Area.

Ten $1,000 scholarships were given to the following 10 individuals on March 15: Kailyn Byrd, Benedictine University; Kywanna Doss, Bradley University; Diamond Fuqua, Tennessee State University; Cha”Nneka Gaston, Joliet Junior College; Britney Holman, Eastern University; Ashley King, Methodist College; Naomi Mayes, Joliet Junior College; Dyamond Parker, Ball State University; Jasmine Robertson, school undetermined; and Shantel Williamson, Robert Morris

Science, creativity unite at physics machine contest JOLIET – Science and creativity were recently united during the Joliet Central High School Rube Goldberg Machine Contest.

JCHS physics students put their intricately designed machines to the test as they took on the task of zipping a zipper in 20 or more steps.

The task of building the zipper-zipping machine began months before the contest.

The project allowed students to learn tangible physics skills such as potential energy, kinetic energy, work, and conservation of energy.

Based upon an annual class competition, 12 students participated in a regional competition hosted by Argonne National Laboratory at the Children’s Museum in Navy Pier on Feb. 21.

Students Nicole Long, Morgan Voss, Hannah Vercellotti, Ericka Gibson, Henry Linehan, Chris Trevino and Jenna Ellis brought their Tom and Jerry themed machine, while Carol Randolph, Meagan Hadley, Dominic Micheletto, Gabriela Diaz and Chyna Vann brought their “Child’s Play” themed device.

CELEBRITY CIPHER

In “The Electric Woman,” Marabel Morgan, an author of self-help books for married women, wrote, “Persistence is the twin sister of excellence. One is a matter of quality; the other, a matter of time.”

Why did she not make it excellence is the twin sister of persistence? Or one is a matter of time; the other, a matter of quality?

This is an excellent defensive deal because it requires persistence on the part of the defenders. They have to take six tricks to defeat two spades. How can they do it after West leads the heart ace?

When two spades came back to West, perhaps he should have made a second takeout double.

Note that three diamonds is making, East losing two spades and two diamonds. East’s club loser disappears on West’s third high heart.

West leads the heart ace, under which East drops his nine, starting a high-low (echo) with his doubleton. West cashes his heart king and heart queen.

What should East discard?

Since he would like a club shift, he should pitch the club eight.

West then leads his club three, the low card guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit.

East wins with his ace and, although South drops a deceptive queen, returns the club two.

When West takes the trick with his king, he should lead his last club, which East ruffs to defeat the contract.

West should know that South has the last club, because if East had started with four clubs, he would have returned his higher-remaining club at trick five (high-low with a remaining doubleton), not the two.

Excellent!

Joy of having service dog diminished by attention Dear Abby: I use a service dog, and I’m constantly barraged with requests to pet him. Other people who use service dogs warned me this would happen. Although the ADA does not require him to wear a vest, I bought one for him that reads, “Do Not Pet,” which he wears in public. They ask me anyway!

They also ask what I use the dog for. Sometimes I’m tempted to say, “First, tell me about your medical history and then I’ll tell you mine.”

As excited as I am about how my dog has expanded my life, I do not want to spend my time answering strangers’ questions or hearing about every dog they’ve ever owned.

Obviously, I’m still learning what it means to live with a service dog. Would you kindly share with your readers proper etiquette with service dogs and their owners? – Living Larger In Washington State Dear Living Larger: I’m happy to. But you must be realistic. If you have a service dog, you must

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips accept that people will be curious.

However, what many people fail to understand is that when a service dog is out in public, the animal is WORKING, and should not be distracted from its task – which is ensuring the well-being of the owner.

The basics for interacting with service dogs are: 1. Always speak to the person first. Do not try to distract the dog.

2. Never touch the service dog without first asking for and receiving permission.

3. Do not offer the dog food.

4. Do not ask personal questions about the handler’s disability or otherwise intrude on his or her privacy.

5. Do not be offended if the handler refuses to chat about the service dog.

Dear Abby: My son “John” and daughter-in-law “Bree” recently

announced their second pregnancy via email, and asked that we keep the news in the immediate family for now.

I was so happy and excited that I notified my sister. As it turns out, my sister shared the news with her daughter, who is good friends with Bree. My niece then texted congratulations to her.

At the end of the day, I received a nasty, dramatic phone call from Bree. It wasn’t my intention to hurt her in any way, but now I’m afraid that this may have solidified the wedge between us because we were never very close. I realize I was wrong and apologized. What more can I do? – Now What? In North Carolina Dear Now What?: Now you pay the penalty for leaking the news, and gracefully accept that you will be relegated to the second tier when it comes to announcements.

Perhaps you can get back in their good graces by respecting their wishes in the future.

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Add strength training for well-rounded exercise regimen Dear Doctor K: I’d like to start strength training, but I have lots of questions. What should I know before I begin?

Dear Reader: Strength-training exercises are those that force your muscles to strain against an opposing force, like a dumbbell or elasticized band. There’s a lot you need to know before you begin. I’ll answer several common questions to help get you on your way. (I’ve put several more strength-training tips on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

• What are “reps” and “sets”?

Most strength-training routines call for lifting and lowering a weight eight to 12 times. These repetitions are called “reps” for short. One exercise repeated eight to 12 times is called one set. A complete workout includes two to four sets of eight to 12 exercises that, combined, exercise all the major muscle groups.

• How often should I strengthtrain? Try to perform a complete strength-training routine two to three times a week.

• How much rest do my muscles need? Allow at least 48 hours for muscles to recover between strength-training workouts. So, if you work out on Monday, wait until Wednesday for another session.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • What is good form? Good form means aligning your body correctly and moving smoothly through an exercise. Focus on slow, smooth lifts and controlled descents.

• How much weight or resistance should I use? Choose a weight that allows you to do only eight to 12 repetitions. The last one or two reps should be difficult. When you can comfortably perform 12 reps, increase the amount of weight.

• How long should I rest between sets? Rest for about one minute between sets.

• Should I warm up and cool down? Warm up for five to 10 minutes before you exercise, and cool down for five to 10 minutes at the end. Marching in place and gently swinging your arms, or using a treadmill or exercise bike, are excellent ways to warm up.

To cool down, walk slowly until your heart rate and breathing are close to normal. Then do some stretching.

Remember, a well-rounded exercise program includes aerobic,

balance and flexibility exercises, in addition to strength training.

I’ve done aerobic exercises at least five days a week, at least 30 minutes each day, for most of my adult life. I was a skeptic about adding strength training to my exercise program. In part, I was worried that the time I spent with strength training would reduce the amount of time I had to do aerobic exercises.

Several colleagues here at Harvard who are exercise experts convinced me otherwise.

They pointed out that I was going to start losing muscle mass, particularly in my upper body, if I didn’t do strength training.

And that substituting strength training for aerobic exercises did not reduce the cardiovascular benefits of aerobic exercise.

About 10 years ago, I began an every-other-day routine: strength training one day, aerobic exercise the next. I know my upper-body muscle mass has benefited, and I’m convinced I haven’t sacrificed any cardiovascular benefits.

Teenager wants to write advice columns one day Dr. Wallace: I’m a senior female in high school and will be attending Purdue University in the fall.

I have been reading your column ever since I’ve been in high school, and someday I would like to write a newspaper-syndicated column like yours.

Where did you go to college and what inspired you to specialize in advice for teens?

Of course, I wouldn’t start writing my column until after I’ve graduated from Purdue and, of course, until after you retire.

Any tips to help me reach my goal will be appreciated. – Nameless, Schereville, Ind. Dear Nameless: When I was an undergraduate student at Knox College, I had no idea that I would eventually write an advice column for teens. While at Knox I majored in sociology because I enjoyed the courses offered and because a superior and supportive professor, Dr. Walter North, was a member of the sociology department. I also enjoyed classes in English and speech.

After I graduated from Knox, I was employed for a few years in the business field, but I soon decided that my future was to be in education. I returned to school, graduated from Northern Illinois University with a Master of Science in Education degree, and began teaching high school English and coaching varsity basketball.

I didn’t start my career as a syndicated columnist until after I had become a high school administrator.

The blend of education and life experiences provided me with the skills and

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace perspective necessary to advise teens.

Your college advisor will help you arrange a program that will best suit your needs in becoming an advice columnist.

It probably will be strong in the areas of psychology, sociology, communication and journalism.

Keep in touch. When I’m ready to end my writing career, you might be the one to take over!

Dr. Wallace: My parents have given me a credit card to use in emergency situations and, of course, to buy something that’s a super sales bargain.

I’ve never had to use the credit card for an emergency, thank goodness, but I’ve used it twice for sale items.

Anything I charge is deducted from my allowance and the card will be taken away if my parents think I’m abusing the privilege.

My grandmother thinks my parents are teaching me to be a spendthrift my entire life. Please give me your opinion. – Nameless, Rock Island Dear Nameless: You have wise parents and a dear grandmother who hasn’t yet caught up with doing business in the 21st century, but eventually she will.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

‘Star Crossed’ an alien Romeo and Juliet

By MELISSA CRAWLEY More Content Now What would happen if aliens crash landed on Earth with the goal of integration instead of colonization? This is the question posed by the new CW series “Star Crossed.”

But this is the CW – home to all shows starring beautiful teenagers – so the real question is, what if an alien boy and a human girl fell in love?

The series is “Romeo and Juliet,” if Romeo was an alien. And it deals with the same basic themes of fate, death, violence and a couple’s struggle against societal institutions that condemn their love.

The difference is that it also depicts the forced segregation of an entire alien race. I find this a much more interesting idea, but it’s not one that “Star Crossed” explores in any depth.

The aliens are called Atrians, and their arrival in small-town planet Earth is met with suspicion that quickly escalates into armed conflict.

They are hunted, captured and placed in an internment camp called the Sector. A young Atrian child

named Roman temporary avoids discovery when he finds refuge in a backyard shed belonging to the family of a 6-year-old girl called Emery. She looks after him, but the authorities find and shoot him as Emery watches.

Ten years later, a group of Atrian teenagers are allowed to enroll in the local high school as a test case for wider alien integration.

Roman (Matt Lanter) and Emery (Aimee Teegarden) discover each other again and their bond makes them easy targets for the community’s mistrust.

You can stop reading right now and decide to just watch the show for its melodramatic “Will their love survive?” storyline, but if your current age doesn’t have the word “teen” in it, you might not make it past the first episode.

Then again, romance is ageless, right? And this scandalous love does involve a very attractive (teen) alien species. This is because all the Atrians look human, except that they have a few tattoos, which begs the question: Couldn’t they just buy some good body makeup and blend right in? They do

have a special plant that has healing properties when mixed with their blood, but they keep this a secret. I guess with the forced segregation, they’re not in a sharing mood.

The show plays with the idea of fitting in. (You think that it’s hard being the new kid in high school? Trying being the alien new kid!) So, bullying is an obvious theme.

The impact of the school integration on the wider adult community adds a few layers to the story. The older Atrians (much less model-like than their offspring) are divided into those who want to be part of human society and those who want to make their human captors pay for a decade of isolation.

Those in power who support the integration plan, both human and Atrian, have agendas that may not be entirely altruistic. The little that “Star Crossed” does offer on the politics of fear goes some way to ensuring that the anxiety of doomed teen love doesn’t completely take over the plot.

• “Star Crossed” is on Mondays at 7 p.m. on the CW.

TODAY – If you mingle with imaginative and talented people, you’ll come across many promising chances to move forward. Your career path may take some unexpected turns, but you will be able to overcome any difficulties and exceed your expectations. Shoot for the stars.
