Bettye Gavin approved to fill vacant council spot Some members question mayor’s selection process

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Bettye Gavin, director of Park Forest Community Center, was named District 4 councilwoman by the Joliet City Council.

Gavin’s nomination by Mayor Tom Giarrante was unanimously approved by the council, despite criticism by some members of the mayor’s selection process.

“This is amazing, absolutely amazing,” Gavin told the council. “I take this position very seriously. We have much to do for a better Joliet and I look forward to the challenge.”

Gavin replaces Susie Barber, who resigned from the council in March after missing about six months of meetings because of illness.

The selection of Gavin drew accolades from all of the council, although councilmen Larry Hug, Terry Morris, Bob O’Dekirk and Jim McFarland expressed concerns about the mayor’s selection process.

Hug accused Giarrante of leaking news of the nomination selection, both to members of the community and a group of area ministers, before informing the council of his appointment selection Bettye Gavin Tuesday night.

Hug also critiDistrict 4 cized the mayor for not allowing the community to be more involved in the process.

“Everyone had a chance to apply,” Giarrante said. “As far as community involvement, I received a lot of phone calls that I took into consideration.”

Giarrante said he interviewed all eight people who applied for the position. He said he declined to interview one candidate who waited until Monday to apply.

“One thing that weighed heavy on my mind is [finding] a person who is involved in the neighborhood and who does a great job,” Giarrante said.

Hug accused Giarrante of using “your usual cloak-anddagger” tactics in the nomination process.

“Even a broken clock is right twice a day,” Hug said, challenging Giarrante for not being more open with council members.

“Do you want me to tell you the truth? I don’t trust some people on this council not to let things out of the box,” Giarrante said, referring to purported information leak from a city council executive session earlier this year. The matter was put before the Will County State’s Attorney’s office for investigation, but so far no action has been taken.

“I would hope you would always tell the truth,” Hug replied. “That’s a huge accusation to make against this council.”

Gavin’s selection drew universal praise from council members.

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

Joliet City Council approves $1.427M construction bid

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet City Council on Tuesday approved a $1.427 million bid for construction of two tunnels at the Joliet Multi-Modal Regional Transportation Center, even though the bid is 50.6 percent above the engineering estimate.

City Manager Jim Hock recommended the council award the contract to John Burns Construction, the lower of two bids on the project.

Construction of the two tunnels has to be coordinated with all railroad traffic on the Heritage Corridor tracks,

Veterans housing hearing The Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals will hear a request Thursday from developer Volunteers of America to build a veterans housing complex on the former campus of Silver Cross Hospital.

The new development, Hope Manor Joliet Apartments, would provide low-cost housing to U.S. veterans and their families.

The zoning board of appeals will meet at 2 p.m. Thursday on the second floor of City Hall to consider the proposal.

Hock said.

The council also issued a resolution of support for legislation by Rep. Larry Walsh Jr. that would allow the Will County Board to place a $15 to $30 filing fee on all cases filed at the Will County Courthouse.

Proceeds would be used toward the purchase of new courthouse. The city would like the new courthouse to remain in downtown Joliet. The county is considering purchasing the nearby Midwest Bank building.

FCPA to sell building as funding has diminished in recent years

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, April 16, 2014

JOLIET – The effects of the Great Recession are causing a local public arts organization to sell its building, while artists who have endured the financial hit are painting a hopeful picture for the future of Joliet art.

Because of a dwindling number of public arts contracts since 2008, the Friends of Community Public Arts organization is selling its 8,000-square-foot building at 310 N. Ottawa St., hoping to lease back a portion of the building from the new owner.

“It was a total storm,” said Kathleen Farrell, FCPA administrator and artist. “The state government is giving less money to the arts, the federal government is giving less and private entities are spending less.”

FCPA is a nonprofit organization focused on increasing the awareness of the Joliet community’s historical and cultural heritage by creating, planning, promoting and preserving public art.

The state’s 2014 funding for the Illinois Arts Council, which gives grants to local arts agencies, is $10.1 million, less than half of 2007 funding levels. But it is an increase from last year’s budget of $8.2 million.

FCPA received annual $20,000 grants from the Illinois Arts Council. But recently that amount was reduced to $5,000. And when the recession hit, individuals also stopped spending money on art.

The FCPA formed as an independent nonprofit organization in 1994 and purchased the arts building, which was originally a steel workers’ union hall, for $200,000 with a commercial loan.

Since then, the FCPA has invested an additional

“ARTS GROUP SCALING BACK WITH THE SHOCK OF THE ECONOMY CAUSING PEOPLE TO LOSE THEIR JOBS AND HOMES, THEY COULDN’T THINK ABOUT ART. BUT WE ALL KNOW IT’S ESSENTIAL TO THE QUALITY OF LIFE.”

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Trevor Wimberly (right) and Kathleen Farrell sort through books Monday for a future sale at the Friends of Community Public Arts building in downtown Joliet. The FCPA is selling its building because of financial reasons. $250,000 on renovations with grants and in-kind labor into the facility.

While the sale of the building is still up in the air, FCPA is focused on developing a permanent exhibition for its scale model art – pieces created as miniature versions of statues and other works created by artists in the organization.

The exhibition would help fund the rental of at least 1,000 square feet of the building they are selling. Organizers are still looking for a location to hold the exhibition.

They’re also trying to raise funds for maintenance

of more than 150 outdoor art pieces throughout Joliet.

Starting April 25, the FCPA will hold a sale of art supplies and equipment. Items in likenew condition will be sold at a fourth of catalog prices. Hardcover books will be 50 cents each and softcover books will be 25 cents. New copies of FCPA mural and sculpture books also will be sold at a discount.

“With the shock of the economy causing people to lose their jobs and homes, they couldn’t think about art,” Farrell said. “But we all know it’s essential to the quality of life.”

Local metal sculptor and furniture designer Marsha Lega is an artist in FCPA and also has had her own art business since 1984. While she has seen several economic downturns impact the art industry since then, nothing compared to the last recession.

“The trickle down part of the economy slapped the artist pretty hard,” Lega said. “This one was bigger, harder, stronger and more devastating than others.”

Lega, who has contributed art, furniture and statues to several sites across Joliet, is relatively well-known and has still been able to sell her art.

But she had to alter the selling process in order to make it through the recession.

“The places I depended on to sell my goods, they went out of business,” Lega said.

“Luckily, I’ve been doing this for a long time. But it’s pretty darn hard for the young artist to make it.”

Lega advises those wanting to pursue art as a career to get a more stable job for the sake of financial survival financially while maintaining their passion for art.

“The arts are suffering and we will be the last to come back,” Lega said. “But I’m hopeful for the future.”

Group advocates for ‘fair tax’ on tax day Graduated Ill. income tax urged

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Advocates for a graduated income tax in Illinois made their case Tuesday at the downtown post office, hoping to catch people as they mailed in tax returns.

Members of A Better Illinois stood outside the post office at 51 E. Clinton St. to introduce people to what they call a “fair tax.” It was one of several rallies the group held in Illinois as it contended that a graduated tax would benefit people at all income levels.

“It’s really common sense, it would give tax breaks for the middle class,” said Peter Starzynski, A Better Illinois field director. “It would be good for the economy and good for schools.”

Illinois income is taxed at a flat rate, meaning the same rate regardless of income.

A Better Illinois believes it would be more fair to use

graduated rates, as is done with federal taxes, so that income in higher brackets is taxed at higher rates.

According to A Better Illinois, a graduated system would lower rates for lower incomes and raise rates for higher incomes. The fair tax would allow 94 percent of state residents to receive a tax cut and would spur economic growth, the group said.

Starzynski said Illinois is one of seven states that has a flat tax. The graduated tax, he said, would help the state avoid billions in funding cuts for schools and infrastructure.

“Mothers with children depend on the state for assistance and they also go to school,” said Connie Tyler-Miller of Bolingbrook.

“There’s a lot of reasons why we need this.”

Tyler-Miller was one of the volunteers at the rally Tuesday passing out fliers. One

“There are people who when you tell them about the tax, they say they are feeling the squeeze.”

Connie Tyler-Miller of Bolingbrook hands out fliers Tuesday in support of a fair tax in Illinois at a downtown Joliet post office. Volunteers for A Better Illinois came out to the post office to educate people on the fair tax. volunteer approached people heading into the post office by asking them, “Do you pay too much in taxes?”

To bring the message home, volunteers at the rally were showing people how much they could save in taxes

by using their phones to show them the fair tax calculator at fairtaxcut.com.

Mac Willis of Joliet was another volunteer at the rally. He said he believes the fair tax is important because there are income disparities

in communities that would be alleviated through a fair tax.

He said it’s unfair people with low incomes receive high tax burdens.

“There is a need to be balancing that scale,” Willis said.

Willis also is president of Unity Community Development Corp., a Joliet network of neighborhood groups.

Starzynski said he believes the idea of a fair tax in the state is catching on with residents. According to the organization, the tax has support from 77 percent of voters in the state.

“There are people who when you tell them about the tax, they say they are feeling the squeeze,” Starzynski said.

Plainfield park board seeks new interim director

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A new interim executive director may be appointed to run the Plainfield Township Park District as soon as Thursday when commissioners are scheduled to vote on an employment contract in a special meeting.

The board has been looking for someone to fill the spot since Interim Executive Director Gene Coldwater told them he wanted to return to his former position as superintendent of parks.

The board also is looking for a permanent executive director.

The board is set to discuss in executive session Thursday hiring former Elmhurst Park District Executive Di-

rector Richard Grodsky. A vote is scheduled after the closed session. The meeting is at 7 p.m. in the Heritage Professional Center, 24023 W. Lockport St. Grodsky recently retired from the Elmhurst Park District as its executive director in 2012 after 15 Richard years in the poGrodsky sition.

According to a 2012 Elmhurst Park District resolution honoring Grodsky, he was instrumental in creating three strategic plans, was a five-time National Park and Recreation Association Gold Medal Award finalist, purchased more than 24 acres of property for park

space and led several projects that enhanced parks experience in Elmhurst.

He is currently a contractor who advises other park districts as a consultant, Commissioner Larry Newton said.

“We looked at his resume and he is more than qualified to become the interim director,” Newton said. “We’re going to vote on approving him Thursday, and he said he would be able to start the following Monday.”

Grodsky would serve from then until the board hires a permanent executive director, hopefully by July, Newton said.

An executive director search committee recommended Grodsky after consulting with the Illinois Asso-

ciation of Park Districts. The committee consists of Coldwater, Vice President Janet Silosky, Commissioner Mary Kay Ludemann and former Executive Director Gregory Bott.

Grodsky was reached Tuesday afternoon, but directed all questions to the park district.

Coldwater was hired as the assistant executive director three days before former Executive Director Garrett Peck resigned Jan. 24. He slid into the interim position for a couple of days while the board was about to hire a candidate to replace Peck. But the candidate backed out and Coldwater stayed, according to Newton.

President Peter Hurtado said Grodsky’s resume

looks good, but said he was concerned when board attorney Matt Campbell told Hurtado he couldn’t interview Grodsky.

“Once we go into executive session to discuss this, I’ll be raising some questions,” Hurtado said. “If I get the right answers, I’ll vote for him.”

Newton, however, said commissioners were given Grodsky’s contact information to ask him questions.

Also scheduled to be voted on at the special meeting is a resolution showing support for House Bill 5593, which would expand the board from five to seven members immediately, and a resolution to increase the board to seven members during spring elections in 2015.

Driver clocked at 118 mph heading for I-55 construction zone

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – A Dwight man was clocked at 118 mph just before he drove into the Des Plaines River Bridge construction zone on Interstate 55 on Sunday, police said.

Nathaniel F. Stainck, 25, was charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding more than 40 mph over the speed limit, disobeying a traffic control device and driving without carrying his license.

State police said Stainck was stopped on northbound Interstate 55 just before Blodgett Road.

Last year, 172 crashes occurred in the construction zone including two fatal ones.

State police issued 4,836 tickets

during that time. Most of those tickets – 3,125 – were for speeding.

Construction on the project resumed this month, and troopers are patrolling the construction zone around the clock.

State officials held a media

event at the Des Plaines Bridge last week to promote safety and draw attention to the hazards of driving in the construction zone. By the following day, however, there was already an accident when three semitrailers collided.

LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – A 16-year-old boy was critically injured in a Saturday night crash while riding with a driver arrested for DUI, police said.

Will County Sheriff’s police said the crash happened about 9:45 p.m. in the 400 block of Oak Street. According to police reports, a 2005 Chevrolet Silverado traveling north crossed into the southbound lane, went into a skid, struck two trees on the passenger side and smashed into a mailbox and boulder on the side of the road.

Deputies reportedly found the rear tire on the other side of the street and bottles of beer behind the passenger seat.

Nathan A. Nagel, 22, of the 600 block of Oak Street, told deputies he was taking his 14-year-old brother and a 16-year-old friend home when a deer came into the road and he had to swerve, according to police.

After a deputy questioned Nagel and reviewed blood tests at Silver Cross Hospital, Nagel was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence of alcohol and released on bond.

Nagel’s brother was treated and released. His friend was airlifted to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood with “head and spinal trauma,” police said. His injuries were considered “life-threatening,” police said.

Help clean up litter

JOLIET – Bicyclists and pedestrians will get a bridge over Interstate 55 connecting forest preserve trails, thanks to a state grant awarded this week.

The grant goes to the Forest Preserve District of Will County, which will use the bridge to provide safe passage over the interstate near Black Road. Construction would not start until late 2016.

The creation of an eastwest crossing links the DuPage River Trail in Shorewood with the Rock Run Greenway Trail in Joliet. That means people will no longer have to walk on a thin, concrete shoulder close to oncoming traffic along Black Road to make it across I-55 and the river, said Marcy DeMauro, the forest preserve district’s executive director.

“They basically take their lives into their own hands [when they attempt to cross],” DeMauro said. “There are no pedestrian walkways, so they’re basically walking into traffic so to speak. It’s

very dangerous.”

The $963,000 grant – administered by the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program – will help pay for the $1.2 million project, according to a district news release. A local match of $236,800 will come from the forest preserve district’s reserve funds.

The project calls for a 300-foot bike and pedestrian bridge over I-55 and new asphalt trail segments along Black Road and Northeast Frontage Road.

The forest preserve district also plans to apply for a second $1.1 million grant to build a 260-foot bridge over the DuPage River and a new trail connection on the south side of Black Road.

If the second grant is approved, the two projects would be built simultaneously, but construction wouldn’t begin until late 2016 or early 2017.

DeMauro said the Black Road trail crossing provides not only a safer route but access to more than 50 miles of regional trails such as the I&M Canal Trail and the Old Plank Road Trail.

(815)744-6550 ext. 201 edj@dhj-law.com Q: What can I do to protect my assets from creditors?

A: For professionals such as physicians, accountants, attorneys, and anyone whose occupation exposes them to malpractice/ negligence litigation, asset protection planning should be an integral part of their overall estate plan. Some of the available planning includes: Tenancy by the Entirety: When a husband and wife hold title to their primary residence as Tenants by the Entirety, creditors of one spouse cannot force the sale of the residence to satisfy the judgment. Tenancy by the Entirety does not offer protection against joint creditors.

Qualified Plans: The vested balance in a qualified retirement plan is exempt from the claims of creditors.

Asset Protection Trusts: Several states (most notably Delaware) have now

enacted legislation that allows a person to create a self-settled spendthrift trust, which will shield assets from the claims of future creditors, after the expiration of a four year limitations period. These trusts typically permit an independent trustee to make purely discretionary distributions of income and principal, and can be drafted consistent with your overall estate plan.

Please note that any form of asset protection planning must be done before any judgment, or the threat of judgment, exists. We are available to speak in detail with you, your group or your team of professional advisors about the various asset protection planning vehicles available.

Q. I am seeing lots of Lawyer ads on billboards as I drive down the Interstate. Is calling one for my workers’ compensation case a good idea?

Advertising dates back to before the days of Abraham Lincoln, when lawyers would ride the circuit and put notices in the newspaper as to when they would be in town. Later, many States prohibited or restricted the rights of lawyers to advertise. Then the Supreme Court ruled that advertising was freedom of speech, and lawyers had a constitutional right to advertise. Much as we have been inundated with political ads since the Supreme Courts Citizens United case, we have also been inundated with lawyer ads on billboards, T.V., radio and other media.

The person you see on the billboard is usually middle age, and the ad in at least implies that they can get some kind of special result which is different than other established firms. Ask yourself this question: if the lawyer on the billboard has been around for a while, and has been doing a good job for his clients, why isn’t he getting more clients that way, instead of having to advertise? And if that person is really busy, is it more likely that he or she will handle the case, or it will be referred to someone else in the office or brokered out?

Our law firm does limited advertising. For example, we represent a lot of construction workers and advertise in the Labor Record so that if they are hurt, they will have our name, address and phone number readily available. Also, I can understand a young lawyer advertising to increase the client base, as it can be difficult to get going. As far as hiring that lovely face on the billboard, however, in my opinion I recommend you run as far away as possible from the thought. adno=0265397

Q. If I’m injured in an accident what should I do to make sure I protect my rights?

A. Assuming you are physically able to, or someone with you is able to, make sure to do the following, all you’ll need is your cell phone, paper and a pen: 1. Call the police to report the accident and/or to get medical treatment.

2. Take pictures of the scene with a camera or cell phone; 3. Take pictures of the vehicles involved with a camera or cell phone; 4. Take pictures of any skid marks or other physical damage caused by the accident;

8. If the other driver says anything to you that you believe is important, write it down as well. That way you won’t forget it later.

9. Once you are at the hospital, or someone you know is at the scene, have them take a picture (or three) of any physical damage you may have such as cuts or bruises.

10. Document anything else you feel is important by taking a photo or writing it down. You never know what may end up being useful.

By doing the above, you will make it easier for a doctor to understand how you were injured and where your injuries are; it will also help when explaining to your own insurance company; finally, preservation of evidence is often key to your attorney’s ability to obtain full value for your injuries.

5. Exchange insurance information with the other driver(s) involved in the accident; 6. Get the names, phone numbers and addresses of any witnesses.

7. Make a list of your injuries (include all aches and pains as well as cuts and bruises); this list can help you explain your condition at the emergency room as well. adno=0265398

ASK AN ATTORNEY

When I first joined my law firm in 1970, we did not have a lawyer doing personal injury or workers’ compensation. If a client came in with an injury related problem, their case would brokered out to other lawyers who concentrated in those fields. Once we started doing our own personal injury and workers’ compensation, we concentrated on good client communications and hard work. That usually led to good results, which led clients to refer in their friends and family. That has been, and remains the absolute best way to find a lawyer: ask someone who you know who knows a lawyer in the field who does good work.

Arrest made after officer pulls over stolen car

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A suspicious driver turned out to be driving a stolen car early Sunday, police said.

At 3:27 a.m. an officer was patrolling Meeker Avenue when he saw a red 2009 Ford Escape driving east in the westbound lanes approaching Henderson Avenue, Cmdr. Al Roechner said.

“The Escape had no lights on and ran the stop sign,” Roechner said. “When the officer activated the emergency lights, the driver went over the curb to pull into a parking lot in the 600 block.”

A license plate check showed the Escape had been reported stolen a short time earlier from the 400 block of Meeker, Roechner said.

Martin Herrera, 40, told police a friend had just giv-

en him the vehicle, but the owner told police he’d never seen Herrera before, Roechner said.

Herrera, who lives in the 600 block of Meeker, was booked into the county jail on charges of auto theft, reckless driving, improper lane usage, driving without headlights, driving on the sidewalk, disregarding a stop sign and driving on the wrong side of the road.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The alleged ringleader of a scheme to rip off more than $100,000 from a bank has been offered a plea deal.

But attorney Robert Lewin told Judge Sarah Jones on Tuesday that Otis D. Blackmon, 22, wants to replace him with a public defender. Jones has denied motions Lewin has filed on Blackmon’s behalf to suppress evidence and quash the search warrant.

Blackmon has been charged

with 85 counts of organizing a continuing financial crimes enterprise, theft, defrauding a financial institution, unauthorized use of a credit card, computer fraud and wire fraud.

Otis D. He faces up to 30 Blackmon years in prison, but has been offered six years behind bars if he pleads guilty, according to reports.

Blackmon, who has been confined to a wheelchair since

being shot in October 2010 in a gang-related crime at a Larkin Avenue gas station, is being held in the county jail on $200,000 bond.

Joliet police said from August 2010 until his arrest in September 2013, Blackmon conspired with other bank customers to get prepaid debit cards with their financial identifiers in exchange for a cut of what he stole.

Blackmon would go online and “deposit” thousands into that account and withdraw it at an ATM at the same time money orders were issued – giving

the thieves a time lag before records showed the cards were overdrawn. The bank sent overdraft notices when the shortage was discovered, but did not seek charges against the account holder.

But when bank officials realized more than $100,000 had been taken, they contacted police. Fourteen alleged accomplices were arrested on various financial crime charges last fall.

Blackmon is currently on probation after pleading guilty last year to reckless discharge of a firearm in 2011.

Judge turns down plea for lighter sentence in road rage case JOLIET – A defense lawyer arguing for a lighter sentence for his client said the victim in a 2011 road rage confrontation had his own anger issues.

Attorney Cliff Johnson said Tuesday that Frank Egas, who eventually died after being punched in the 2011 confrontation in Romeoville, had entered anger management classes in 2010 and had been involved in previous road rage incidents himself. Johnson, however, did not offer any details on those incidents.

Johnson’s client, Christopher Yeoman, 41, has been sentenced to 18 years in prison after being convicted of second-degree murder.

Johnson also said Egas had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

Judge Sarah Jones was unmoved by Johnson’s argu-

ment and ordered Yeoman transferred to prison to serve his convictions of second-degree murder and aggravated battery to a senior citizen.

Yeoman will be eligible for parole in nine years.

In 2011, Yeoman was driving with his family when he gave a “hurry up” tap on the horn to Egas, who was waiting to turn ahead of them on 135th Street. Egas began yelling, sticking out his middle finger and cutting off Yeoman’s minivan until the vehicles reached Route 53, where Christopher and Amanda Yeoman got out to confront him.

When the Yeomans went back to their minivan, Egas got out and pointed to his chin, telling Yeoman to hit him, according to witnesses. Yeoman testified during his trial in February that he struck in self-defense because he thought Egas was going to punch him.

Egas’ head struck the pavement, causing brain injuries that medical experts testified led to his death three months later at the age of 64.

Johnson also argued Egas’ fall at a rehabilitation clinic led to further brain injury after the confrontation.

“You’re asking me to make a leap of faith [to conclude that] without any testimony that supported that during the trial,” Jones told him.

Amanda Yeoman declined to comment after Jones decided not to reconsider her husband’s sentence.

Trustees lobby for medical marijuana facilities in village

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Village trustees voiced support Monday for a medical marijuana dispensary and cultivation center and have directed staff to lobby the state to register one in Plainfield, Trustee Paul Fay said.

“There certainly are concerns, but the state highly regulates it and it would be closely monitored,” Fay said, adding that the benefits medicinal marijuana would provide for patients, and the business revenue it would bring to the village make a dispensary worth having.

The village board and staff discussed how special use permits could be used to zone cannabis cultivation centers and dispensaries.

Based on the Illinois Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act,

one cultivation center can be in each state police district.

Illinois State Police District 5 covers Will, Grundy and Kendall counties, meaning Plainfield will have to compete with other cities and villages for the facilities.

The state law also limits the number of dispensaries and requires that they be dispersed throughout Illinois.

Fay said several trustees weren’t happy that the state took control of local municipalities’ home rule rights to approve their own medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation centers with the new law passed on Aug. 1.

“First and foremost, I have had family members and friends who have medical marijuana,” Fay said. “I’m not a proponent of smoking pot, but I know firsthand how it helps comfort and ease the pain of people with certain illnesses.”

By BARBARA ORTUTAY The Associated Press NEW YORK – Google has bought Titan Aerospace, a maker of solar-powered drones, saying it could help bring Internet access to remote parts of the world, as well as solve other problems.

Financial terms were not disclosed. Google Inc. said Monday that atmospheric satellites also could be used in di-

saster relief and assessing environmental damage.

Titan’s atmospheric satellites, which still are in development and not yet commercially available, can stay in the air for as long as five years, according to reports. Before it was updated Monday to reflect the acquisition, Titan’s website cited a wide range of uses for the drones, including atmospheric and weather monitoring, disaster response and voice and data

Zebra to spend $3.45B on Motorola business The ASSOCIATED PRESS LINCOLNSHIRE – Zebra Technologies will spend more than $3 billion to buy the enterprise business of Motorola Solutions in a considerable expansion that is both technological and geographical.

The acquisition would broaden the bar-code company’s logistics capabilities and create or expand its footprint in more than 100 countries.

Motorola’s enterprise business makes hand-held bar code scanners and mobile and tablet computers, among other products. Zebra Technologies Inc. also makes plastic cards and radio-frequency identification tags.

Motorola Solutions Inc., which is based in Schaumburg, about 20 miles away from Zebra in Lincolnshire, will continue to make voice and data communication products for government and public safety customers.

Zebra will fund the acquisition with about $200

million in available cash and $3.25 billion in debt. The companies expect to close the deal by the end of the year.

Motorola also released preliminary first-quarter earnings and revenue that missed Wall Street expectations. The company said Tuesday it expects revenue to fall about 9 percent to around $1.8 billion, due in part to lower-than-expected North American government business. It expects adjusted earnings of 50 cents per share.

Analysts forecast, on average, earnings of 51 cents per share on $1.88 billion in revenue, according to FactSet. The sale announced Tuesday, however, overshadowed those headwinds and company shares rose more than 3 percent to $66.

The company will hold a May 1 conference call to discuss results.

Shares of Zebra fell 56 cents to $6.72 in early trading. Motorola shares fell 31 cents to $63.47.

communications.

Facebook Inc. also was in talks to buy New Mexico-based Titan earlier this year, but it acquired U.K.-based solar drone company Ascenta instead, hiring “key members of the team,” as CEO Mark Zuckerberg put it, to work at Facebook.

Both Google and Facebook have launched projects that aim to get everyone on the planet online. Google’s Project Loon sends giant balloons

bearing Internet-beaming antennas into the stratosphere.

Facebook, meanwhile, leads Internet.org, a coalition of companies that wants to get everyone in the world access to basic Internet service. Its Connectivity Lab, which is part of the Internet.org effort, is researching different technologies that aim to make the Internet accessible and affordable to everyone.

Zuckerberg said late last month that Facebook is work-

ing on building its first high-altitude drone to broadcast Internet signals.

“With the efficiency and endurance of high altitude drones, it’s even possible that aircraft could remain aloft for months or years,” Zuckerberg wrote in an online post on March 28. “This means drones have more endurance than balloons, while also being able to have their location precisely controlled.”

U.S. stock markets rebound

By ALEX VEIGA The Associated Press A stock market swoon turned into a comeback Tuesday.

Stocks managed a late-afternoon rebound for the second time in two days as investors seemed to brush off a report of lower confidence among homebuilders and simmering tensions in the Ukraine.

The late rally even gave a lift to tech stocks like Google and Intel, which had weighed on the market much of the day.

“As long as the market can close on a positive note, it sends a signal to investors that there are bargains in the market still to be had,” said Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial.

The day started off well when Johnson & Johnson and Coca-Cola reported encouraging first-quarter earnings.

But the strong beginning fell apart by late morning, when investors got a look at the latest measure of U.S. homebuilders’ confidence in the housing market at 10 a.m. Eastern time. Builders saw overall sales conditions as poor, even though they expected improvement over the spring and summer.

The morning slide didn’t hold, however. By the end of the day, the Standard & Poor’s

500 index rose 12.37 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,842.98.

All 10 industry sectors in the S&P 500 increased, led by utilities.

The Dow Jones industrial average added 89.32 points, or 0.6 percent, to 16,262.56.

The Nasdaq composite rose 11.47 points, or 0.3 percent, to 4,034.16.

All three indexes remain down for the month and year.

The Russell 2000 index of small-company stocks, which had been down more than 1 percent earlier in the day, ended higher. The index is still off 3.8 percent for the year, more than the other major indexes. It’s also down more than 7 percent from its recent peak of 1,208 on March 4.

Small-company stocks have been racking up losses over the past five weeks, as investors look to reduce their exposure to risk. That’s a turnaround from last year, when the Russell soared 37 percent versus 30 percent for the S&P 500 index.

The stock market has been losing ground in recent weeks as investors worry about whether some tech stocks became overpriced.

“There still seems to be some concern about valuation in some corners of the market, especially some of the more high-flying names that had run pretty far, pretty fast,

and that’s putting an overall weight on the market,” said Brad Sorensen, director of market and sector analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research.

Traders also remain focused on what the latest wave of quarterly earnings will say about the health of the U.S. economy and companies.

After regular trade ended Tuesday, Yahoo soared 8 percent and Intel rose 1 percent.

The two tech giants reported earnings that beat analysts’ expectations.

Several major companies, including Google, American Express, Bank of America and IBM were due to report results on Wednesday.

“We’re looking for healthy earnings growth and so far, we’re getting it,” said Anastasia Amoroso, global market strategist at JPMorgan Chase.

Not all stocks managed to end in the green.

Most homebuilder shares slumped, with M/I Homes among the biggest decliners.

The builder fell 38 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $22.11.

PetSmart posted the steepest drop among companies in the S&P 500 index after an analyst downgraded the stock, saying new competition in pet care will create trouble for the retailer. The stock fell $2.76, or 4 percent, to $66.61.

STATE Chicago-only casino option to face opposition

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – The regionally divisive concept of expanding gambling only in Chicago is expected to be a central issue in hearings Wednesday as an Illinois lawmaker works to ready a gambling package for a vote this spring.

One amendment to Rep. Bob Rita’s bill would create a Chicago casino with up to 10,000 spots for gamblers and strip the other four new casinos proposed in past measures.

His second plan would create a 4,000-spot Chicago casino and smaller, 1,200-position ones in Rockford, Danville, Lake County and a suburb south of Chicago. It also would allow for 600 slot machines at each horse racetrack in Cook County and 450 a track outside the county, except for Fairmount Park in the Metro East suburbs of St. Louis.

“It’s part of the process of moving this forward,” Rita, a Blue Island Democrat said Tuesday. “We have never had a full in-depth conversation or a hearing of a Chicago-only option. I guess we’ll see tomorrow.”

Rita believes he can convince lawmakers that the Chicago-only option will benefit the entire state through a sharing of proceeds. Half of the revenue from the Chicago-based casino would help fund education and capital construction projects throughout the state.

But lawmakers and officials from central and southern Illinois plan to lobby hard against the Chicago-only proposal, arguing

they need the jobs – and the money.

“The purpose was to help economically distressed communities,” Republican state Rep. Chad Hayes of Catlin said of expanding gambling. “I would suggest that downstate taking the leftover crumbs from Chicago is a laughable assertion that no downstater would bite on.”

Danville Mayor Scott Eisenhauer and Arlington Park officials are opposed to the Chicago-only proposal, as well.

“The opportunity to add downstate job creation and revenue growth far outweighs the advantages of a Chicago only license,” said Eisenhauer, who plans to travel to Chicago for the hearings, the first of which begins at 9 a.m. Wednesday.

Officials from the state’s horse racing industry sent a letter to Rita on Tuesday, opposing both measures. They said the Chicago-only casino doesn’t help the industry, and the second plan cuts down on the number of racetracks’ slots – something that was previously agreed upon in earlier legislation.

Adding another five gambling venues has won legislative approval twice since 2011, but Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn has opposed both measures, saying they didn’t go far enough to safeguard against the involvement of organized crime or to limit campaign contributions from gambling operations.

Last year, legislation establishing five new casinos and authorizing slot machines at racetracks and airports was discussed at length but never called it for a vote.

Farmers off to slow start planting corn

By JIM SUHR The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Most years about this time, northern Illinois farmer Monty Whipple, like so many Midwest growers, would be riding high in his monstrous planter, kicking up dust while sowing corn in hundreds of acres. But this spring has kept him sidelined, and he’s anything but alone.

Spring planting across much of the nation’s Corn Belt is sputtering, foiled by rainy and chilly conditions that in broad stretches have left the ground either too soggy or too cold for effective seeding.

As of Sunday, the U.S. Department of Agriculture says, just 3 percent of the U.S. corn crop was sown, half the dismal pace of last year, when one of the wettest springs on record got farmers in many states off to the slowest start in decades.

In Illinois, just 1 percent of this year’s corn has been planted – one-tenth of the average pace of the previous five years.

Farmers in other key corn-producing states – Iowa, Nebraska and Indiana – were equally idle, the USDA says. Missouri has 9 percent of its crop in the field, down from 16 percent this

time a year ago.

Still, Whipple and other growers in Illinois and Missouri aren’t sounding alarms, noting that today’s bigger, more efficient planting machines can make up for lost time. Such was the case last year, when more than 40 percent of Illinois’ corn crop got planted in just one week in mid-May. The USDA says corn sowing traditionally begins about this time, with that task typically in full swing from April 21 through May 23.

And the agency notes that even with last year’s frustratingly slow start to planting, U.S. farmers still reaped a record 13.9 billion bushels of corn and the third-biggest soybean crop on record.

“There’s really not any need to be concerned,” Illinois Farm Bureau spokesman John Hawkins said.

At least not yet, as Whipple waits for spring to stop acting like winter. With a fresh batch of snow on his roughly 800 acres of farmland near Utica in LaSalle County, he spent Tuesday hauling stored grain to a barge and felt productive.

“I can’t be in the field, so this is a good job to get done while waiting,” he said, though he admitted he’s “starting

to get a little frustrated.” He guessed it will be another week before he can begin planting corn. “We just haven’t had that week or two of good weather, and there’s a lot of work to be done.”

But he said he has resisted the urge to rush in a crop when the soil is marginal, saying “you only get one shot at this.”

Near Missouri’s Warrenton, west of St. Louis, Keith Witt said only one or two local farmers have any corn planted – for bragging rights, if anything.

But with 3,500 acres soaked by six inches of rain over the past 10 days or so, Witt guesses he’ll have to wait until the end of next week to start planting.

Expectations of more rain within days soured any hope of getting in the fields now to plant half of his acreage with corn, then the other half later with beans.

“It’s hard to find something to do, realizing you want to be out there and getting it done but can’t,” said Witt, a former Missouri Corn Growers Association president. “But we still have plenty of time. Last year [with the delayed sowing], we planted everything in four days. So what difference does it make?”

URBANA – The University of Illinois has brought in about $300 million a year more than it has spent since 2010 but has put off more than a billion dollars in maintenance, according to a new review of the schools’ finances.

The university has enough cash on hand to address some of the maintenance needs, as well as contribute to a poten-

tial supplemental retirement plan for employees, according to the review by accounting lecturer and Academic Senate budget committee chairman Mike Sandretto. He presented his findings to the Senate on Monday.

“Overall, we’re in pretty good shape – not great, but not terrible,” he said, according to The News-Gazette.

Sandretto found that the university had net income of

Ill. House orders audit of anti-violence funds The ASSOCIATED PRESS

which he said it could afford to spend about $700 million.

That money could be used to help take care of some of the maintenance, add faculty that Urbana-Champaign campus Chancellor Phyllis Wise has said she plans to hire, and help finance the supplemental retirement plan the university has said it is considering, according to the review. The retirement plan would help make up for money employees

lose to pension reform plans passed by the Illinois General Assembly.

The Senate agreed on a resolution supporting the idea of a supplemental retirement plan and urged university administrators to move quickly to adopt one.

“At the end of the day, it’s up to the board of trustees on what they want this to exactly look like,” finance Professor Jeff Brown said at the meeting.

Officials with the Criminal Justice Information Authority, which oversees about 20 federal and state grant programs, say they will cooperate with the investigation.

The firm is now in line to buy the limestone company’s assets for $26 million. The company filed for bankruptcy

protection in February and notified state officials it would lay off 166 workers from its Bloomington operations and Oolitic headquarters.

Indiana Limestone President Duffe Elkins said the business is expected to reopen and rehire workers after the new ownership takes charge.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers are seeking a new audit of anti-violence spending under Gov. Pat Quinn after a review in February found “pervasive” mismanagement in an earlier program.

The House approved the request on a 101-5 vote last week.

It seeks a review by Auditor General William Holland of spending on anti-violence initiatives that followed Quinn’s hastily implemented Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Tuesday.

Quinn created the anti-violence program in 2010, just weeks before he won a close election for governor. It was intended to stem violence in two dozen Chicago neighborhoods. But Holland found in an audit released in February – also commissioned by the House – that the $55 million program had “pervasive” mismanagement, with millions of dollars unspent or unaccounted for.

The Democratic governor said he fixed the problems by revamping the anti-violence plan, disbanding its parent agency and putting the initiative under the management of the Illinois Criminal Justice Information Authority in 2013.

Rep. David Reis, a Republican from Willow Hill, wants to know whether the changes worked for anti-violence and after-school programs that have continued.

“I hope I ind nothing.

But if we do, it just goes to show you that nothing gets ixed. We were assured everything got switched over and was done by the book.

This audit will ind out whether that was true.”

NATION&WORLD Congress is giving states the transportation blues

By JOAN LOWY The Associated Press DAYTON, Ohio – On the road in a tour bus this week, the U.S. transportation secretary is spreading some bad news: The government’s Highway Trust Fund is nearly broke. If allowed to run dry, that could set back or shut down projects across the country, force widespread layoffs of construction workers and delay needed repairs and improvements.

Anthony Foxx kicked off an eight-state bus trip in Ohio to whip up public support for congressional approval of legislation to keep federal transportation aid flowing to states for another four years, and possibly longer. But Congress will have to act fast.

The trust fund – the source of much of the aid – is forecast to essentially run dry sometime before the end of the federal fiscal year Sept. 30, and possibly as early as late August.

If that happens, the government will have to slow down or even halt payments to states, which rely on federal aid for most major highway projects. Uncertainty over whether there will be enough funds in the coming months is already causing officials in states such as Arkansas, California and Colorado to consider delaying planned projects.

Foxx’s warnings this week echo ones by President Barack Obama, who cautioned in February that un-

less Congress finished a bill by summer’s end then “we could see construction projects stop in their tracks.” But there is little interest among politicians in an election year to consider raising gasoline taxes.

Many transportation insiders, including Foxx’s predecessor, Ray LaHood, predict Congress will wind up doing what it has done repeatedly over the past five years – dip into the general treasury for enough money for to keep programs going a few weeks or a few months, at which point the exercise will have to be repeated all over again.

But keeping highway and transit aid constantly teetering on the edge of insolvency discourages state and local officials from moving ahead with bigger and more important projects that take many years to build.

In 2012, Congress finally pieced together a series of one-time tax changes and spending cuts to programs unrelated to transportation in order to keep the trust fund solvent for about two years.

Now, the money is nearly gone.

“Tell Congress we can’t slap a Band-Aid on our transportation system any longer,” Foxx urged state and local officials at a stop Monday to view one of Ohio’s biggest construction projects.

Other states on the tour are Kentucky, Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.

Detroit makes deal with retired cops, firefighters

By ED WHITE The Associated Press DETROIT – The city of Detroit reached a deal with a group of retired police officers and firefighters that would protect pensions but trim annual cost-of-living payments – the first major agreement with retirees in the bankruptcy case, mediators announced Tuesday.

The city retreated from an earlier proposed 6 percent cut in pensions and the elimination of the 2.25 percent costof-living payment. Leaders of the Retired Detroit Police and Fire Fighters Association, which has more than 6,000 members, endorsed the deal.

Bill Nowling, a spokesman for emergency manager Kevyn Orr, who took the city into bankruptcy last summer, said Detroit believes it can afford the compromise partly because the pension fund’s financial performance has improved along with Wall Street markets.

Orr thanked the association and urged more creditors to make deals.

“The time to resolve our differences is now,” he said in a statement.

The agreement still is subject to a vote by retirees, starting in May, as well as current employees who are eligible for a future pension. It also must go through

Judge Steven Rhodes as part of Detroit’s larger plan to exit bankruptcy by fall.

“Sooner or later reality sinks in,” association president Don Taylor told The Detroit News. “The city’s in bankruptcy so you have to do the best you can for the majority of your members.”

Association attorney Ryan Plecha said preservation of pension benefits was the “crown jewel.”

The deal also is tied to the city getting $816 million from foundations, philanthropists and the state of Michigan.

Lawmakers still haven’t approved the state’s $350 million share, which has been endorsed by Gov. Rick Snyder.

Savarino and Benjamin were working at the Forum restaurant when a bomb went off in front of the building on April 15, 2013.

In Washington, President Barack Obama was observing the anniversary with a private moment of silence at the White House.

“Today, we recognize the incredible courage and leadership of so many Bostonians in the wake of unspeakable tragedy,” Obama said in a statement. “And we offer our deepest gratitude to the courageous firefighters, police officers, medical professionals, runners and spectators who, in an instant, displayed the spirit Boston was built on – perseverance, freedom and love.”

Obama said this year’s race, scheduled for April

21, will “show the world the meaning of Boston Strong as a city chooses to run again.”

Authorities say two ethnic Chechen brothers who lived in the former Soviet republic of Kyrgyzstan and the Dagestan region of Russia planned and orchestrated the twin bombings near the marathon finish line on April 15, 2013.

Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died following a shootout with police days after the bombings.

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, has pleaded not guilty to federal charges and is awaiting a trial in which he faces a possible death sentence.

NEW YORK – A small study of casual marijuana smokers has turned up evidence of changes in the brain, a possible sign of trouble ahead, researchers say.

The young adults who volunteered for the study were not dependent on pot, nor did they show any marijuana-related problems.

“What we think we are seeing here is a very early indication of what becomes a problem later on with prolonged use,” things like lack of focus and impaired judgment, said Dr. Hans Breiter, a study author.

Long-term studies will needed to see if such brain changes cause any symptoms over time, said Breiter, of the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and Massachusetts General Hospital.

Previous studies have shown mixed results in looking for brain changes from marijuana use, perhaps because of differences in the techniques used, he and others noted in Wednesday’s issue of the Journal of Neurosciences.

The study is among the first to focus on possible brain effects in recreational pot smokers, said Dr. Nora Volkow, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. The federal agency helped pay for the work. She called the work important but preliminary.

The 20 pot users in the study, ages 18 to 25, said they smoked marijuana an average of about four days a week, for an average total of about 11 joints. Half of them smoked fewer than six joints a week. Researchers scanned their brains and compared the results to those of 20 nonusers who were matched for age, sex and other traits.

The results showed differences in two brain areas associated with emotion and motivation. Users showed higher density, as well as differences in shape of those areas. Both differences were more pronounced in those who reported smoking more marijuana.

BOSTON – Survivors, first responders and family members of those killed in the Boston Marathon bombing marked the anniversary Tuesday with tributes that combined sorrow over the loss of innocent victims with pride over the city’s resilience in the face of a terror attack.

“This day will always be hard, but this place will always be strong,” former Mayor Thomas Menino told an invitation-only audience of about 2,500 people at the Hynes Convention Center, not far from the finish line where three people died and more than 260 others were injured a year ago.

Vice President Joe Biden, who attended the ceremony, said the courage shown by survivors and those who lost loved ones is an inspiration for other Americans dealing with loss and tragedy.

“You have become the face of America’s resolve,” he said.

Biden also praised the 36,000 runners who plan to run the marathon next week, saying they will send a message to terrorists.

“America will never, ever, ever stand down,” he said, to loud applause. He added, “We own the finish line.”

Prosecutors say the brothers also killed MIT police Officer Sean Collier days after the bombings in an attempt to steal his gun.

Prosecutors have said Dzhokhar Tsarnaev left a hand-scrawled confession condemning U.S. actions in Muslim countries on the inside wall of a boat in which he was found hiding following the police shootout.

At the tribute, several survivors of the bombing alluded to their injuries but focused on the strength they’ve drawn from fellow survivors, first responders, doctors, nurses and strangers who have offered them support.

“We should never have met this way, but we are so grateful for each other,” said Patrick Downes, a newlywed who was injured along with his wife. Each lost a left leg below the knee in the bombings.

Downes described Boston Strong, the slogan coined after the attack, as a movement that symbolizes the city’s determination to recover. He called the people who died “our guardian angels.”

“We will carry them in our hearts,” he said.

Downes said the city on April 21 will “show the world what Boston represents.” He added, “For our guardian angels, let them hear us roar.”

Study: Brain Solemn tributes mark Boston Marathon bombing changes in pot smokers

Security Council sees grim images of Syrian dead

By PETER JAMES SPIELMANN The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS – The U.N. Security Council fell silent Tuesday after ambassadors viewed a series of ghastly photographs of dead Syrian civil war victims, France’s ambassador said.

The pictures showed people who were emaciated, with their bones protruding, and some bearing the marks of strangulation and repeated beatings, and eyes having been gouged out.

French Ambassador Gerard Araud said the pall of silence lingered, and then questions slowly began about the credibility of the slides of the dead, who offer mute testimony to the savagery of a Syrian civil war in which more than 150,000 have died.

The council members saw more than the 10 photos publicly released in January on the eve of the “Geneva 2” peace talks as part of a forensic investigation funded by

the government of Qatar – a major backer of the opposition and one of the nations most deeply involved in the Syrian conflict. France, which hosted the presentation at the Security Council and showed the images afterward at a news conference, said they are evidence of war crimes by the government of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The veracity of the photos could not be independently confirmed. Syria’s Justice Ministry has dismissed the photos and accompanying report as “lacking objectiveness and professionalism” and said some of the people were militants killed in battle and others were killed by militant groups.

Among the new photos was an image of at least a dozen bodies laid out on the floor of a warehouse, in the process of being wrapped in plastic sheets, with men in military garb standing among them. One of the authors of

the report, former Sierra Leone Special Court prosecutor David M. Crane, said it was firm evidence of “industrialized systematic killing.”

“Bodies in, bodies out. It was a very systematic processing of human beings.

They were laid out in a parking lot because there were too many to put into the morgue,” Crane said.

“Doesn’t this bring back some interesting images from Dachau, and Auschwitz, and Bergen-Belsen?” Crane observed, sitting in front of the grisly procession of photos projected behind him in a U.N. news conference.

“The gruesome images of corpses bearing marks of starvation, strangulation and beatings and today’s chilling briefing indicate that the Assad regime has carried out systematic, widespread and industrial killing. Nobody who sees these images will ever be the same,” U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said.

The photos were selected from among 55,000 images of tortured and slain Syrian war victims said to have been smuggled out of Syria.

The savagery of the victims’ last moments was obvious. One photograph of a person’s face showed an eye gouged out, and a spray of blood that gushed a few inches from the eye socket onto the ground beside the head.

Other bodies bore parallel marks that Dr. Stuart J. Hamilton said are known to forensic pathologists as a “tram-line bruise” caused by being struck with a rod.

It leaves two parallel welts with a smooth space between them. One body had a series of such bruises up and down his torso. “In a fight or combat, the individual would be moving,” Hamilton said, so there would not be a regular pattern of stripes.

Crane said that these photos were “just the tip of the iceberg. We have a snapshot here of just three detention

centers” that were funneling their victims to the photographers. He said that some 50 detention centers are known to exist in Syria.

The presentation at the Security Council was part of a process of documenting evidence of Syrian war crimes in the hope of eventually referring the perpetrators to the International Criminal Court in The Hague. But because Syria never accepted the jurisdiction of the ICC, the only way a case can be opened while Assad is in power is for the Security Council to order a referral.

Russia and China have used their veto power three times to block resolutions threatening sanctions on Syria.

Araud said France would gladly support a referral of all war crimes and crimes against humanity in Syria – by the Assad regime or by the rebels – to the International Criminal Court if Russia or China allowed it.

OUR VIEW

Bipartisan jobs bill has potential When dealing with the divided government in Washington, D.C., bipartisanship is crucial toward getting anything accomplished.

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, a 16th District Republican who lives in Channahon, recognized that truth in his effort to improve career and technical education for young people and job seekers.

Kinzinger partnered with two Democrats, U.S. Reps. Joe Kennedy III of Massachusetts and Jared Polis of Colorado, and fellow Illinois Republican Rodney Davis to introduce the Perkins Modernization Act of 2014.

The Perkins bill, if enacted, has the potential to boost the value of career and technical education for people who live in various regions of the country.

By using workforce data to ensure that vocational curriculums are aligned with the needs of local employers, it would increase the likelihood that students and job seekers would be hired in the fields for which they trained.

“This bipartisan bill will help ensure that skills being taught are actually in demand in the private sector,” Kinzinger said.

That strategy makes sense to us.

It should make sense to displaced workers who want to train for new careers.

It should make sense to young people who want to pursue career and technical education for en-

try positions in the local economy – the “stayers” who do not intend to earn a bachelor’s degree and move away from Will and Grundy counties.

And it should make sense for students who intend to pursue college-level career and technical education programs, so they will have the best opportunities to find jobs upon graduation.

Kennedy said the proposal would “arm future generations with the skills they need to compete.”

Polis said it would help young people “succeed in an increasingly global economy.” And Davis pointed to jobs that go unfilled in Illinois, with a jobless rate just below 9 percent, because “our workforce has not caught up with [21st-century] technical skills.”

With two Republicans and two Democrats sponsoring it, the Perkins Modernization Act of 2014 should draw bipartisan support across the Republican-controlled House.

That bipartisanship must continue in the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House.

With luck, the skills-training bill will become law and help people fulfill their career and employment goals. A further consequence might just be a lower unemployment rate and an improved economy.

All because two Republicans and two Democrats decided to give bipartisanship a chance.

As we said, it makes sense to us.

Technology uncovers many truths SPRINGFIELD – Growing up during the Cold War, May Day always was a bit ominous.

On the evening news, we’d watch tanks, missiles and soldiers march by the reviewing stands in Moscow, Beijing and Havana where stone-faced Communist leaders would look on as their minions toiled.

Even today, May Day is the most important day on the calendar for communist and socialist parties around the globe.

It’s also the day socialists wave red flags from Copenhagen to Cape Town and from Paris to Hanoi.

And May Day has its roots here in the Land of Lincoln.

In Chicago, to be precise, at an event called the Haymarket Riot in May 1886.

As a high school student,

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder I was taught that a group of peaceful workers demonstrating for a shorter workday were attacked by Chicago police. After some police officers were killed when a bomb exploded, innocent workers were unfairly tried and hung.

In fact, that is what people around the world have been taught.

It’s a prevarication, bound up in falsehood and wrapped in a lie.

By the standards of the 1880s, it was a fair trial. In fact, it was one of the first trails where scientific forensic evidence was presented.

Yes, I’m aware that history is full of myths. George

Washington didn’t chop down a cherry tree. The Liberty Bell didn’t crack on July 4, 1776. And, Benjamin Franklin almost certainly didn’t fly a kite in a thunderstorm.

But the prevailing tale that emerges about the Haymarket Riot here in Illinois bears absolutely no semblance to truth.

Each year, International May Day commemorates the death of the “innocent” Hay Market demonstrators executed by the state of Illinois.

As the Soviet revolutionary Vladimir Lenin once said, “A lie told often enough becomes the truth.”

In fact, 10 years ago, the Illinois Legislature spent $300,000 to erect a sculpture honoring the “victims” of the Haymarket Riot.

Joliet ROTC program deserves recognition To the Editor: I was happy to see your article on ROTC in the Sunday, April 5, 2014, paper. This program teaches respect, discipline and management skills to our young men and women. Maybe more important than these characteristics is that the program instills a sense of pride and patriotism for our country.

My son’s were both very involved in sports and academics at Joliet West, but the program that had the biggest affect on their current level of success was the ROTC program.

It allowed them to get into West Point Military Academy and graduate as second lieutenants.

They still serve our country as a captain and major in the U.S. Army and I thank the Joliet West ROTC program for that.

Affordable Care Act not what the people want To the Editor: Oh yeah, the Affordable Care Act is working. I’m curious to know of the 7.1 million that have signed up how many are actually insured? Also, I understand that 9.1 million of the 30 million, the act was created for, are now insured. Sounds like a winner to me!

Actually, I really don’t care how many have signed up or not signed up. Obamacare is just one more thing for the government to exercise control.

People that condemn the notion of repeal of this law need to understand that “We the People” do not want the government to control us, we want to control the government. Maybe they should read our “Constitution” and “Declaration of Independence.”

I for one do not want to live in a Socialist or Communist country, do you?

I recently read an article that the French are facing a “Reinvigorated Right,” united against their Socialist government.

Some in France are comparing

it to the tea party movement in the United States. Looks like the people in Europe are starting to wake up to the fact that “Nothing is for nothing”.

In response to Scott Reeder on raw milk To the Editor: Raw milk doesn’t taste like store-bought pasteurized milk either and you’ll be in for a weird shock (this letter was written in response to the Scott Reeder column that appeared on the Wednesday, April 2, 2014, Opinion page). Forget about low fat, it’ll have by far the most fat and plenty of germs even if they don’t make you sick or give you the runs. We’re definitely going in the wrong direction with this, low fat is best for the heart and arteries as is exercise.

Maybe the milk can be sterilized with gamma rays or X-rays to kill all the bacteria and viruses without heating. If you want to go the whole 9 yards do raw human milk, evaluated to be the best for babies.

Haymarket was not an unfair trial • REEDER

Continued from page 23 Of course the “victims” are no longer just seven police officers killed, they also include the four murderers hung and the one who committed suicide in his jail cell by smoking a stick of dynamite.

A plaque on the monument says the men were “unfairly tried.”

But a funny thing happened on the way to the way to the Politburo.

During a lecture on the Haymarket incident Timothy Messer-Kruse, a history professor at Bowling Green State University in Ohio, told his students the Haymarket demonstrators received an unfair trial and were convicted despite there being no evidence against them.

“And then a student raised her hand and asked, ‘If there wasn’t any evidence, what was presented during that six-week trial?’

It was an ‘a-ha moment.’ I didn’t have an answer for her. I was teaching what I had been taught, but it got me wondering and I de-

cided to look at the original trial transcripts,” he said.

And what he found stunned him.

The trial was the longest and most exhaustive held in Illinois up to that point.

In fact, it pioneered the use of forensic evidence.

A chemist compared the metallic composition of the shrapnel removed from the police officers’ bodies with the bomb casings and parts found in the home of one of the defendants.

They matched.

In fact, Messer-Kruse asked a Yale University chemistry professor to use modern technology to compare the evidence today.

They still matched.

The evidence against the men was quite substantial.

Their appeals were heard by both the Illinois and U.S. supreme courts.

But the political supporters of the defendants billed the men as innocent martyrs.

“The prosecutors in the case didn’t have a reason to speak out after the men were executed.

So the history was largely written by those who had a political agenda to support these men,” Messer-Kruse said.

By the way, Messer-Kruse is a liberal himself and a strong supporter of organized labor.

“The part of the problem is the Haymarket has become a part of labor history and its part of the ethos of the labor movement,” he said.

People don’t want to believe different.

But now we know. Will the record be set straight?

Don’t count on it. It’s Illinois after all.

Senior hitter leads Indians to league victory

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, April 16, 2014

By MARK JOHNSON mjohnson@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – One dominant hitter can mask a lot of mistakes for a volleyball team. So can mistakes being made in bunches by the opponent.

The Minooka boys volleyball team had both of those things Tuesday as it defeated Plainfield South, 25-18, 25-21, in Southwest Prairie Conference play. Senior outside Mitch Perinar powered the Indians with 14 kills, which is four more than the Cougars had as a team. Minooka also had its 11 service errors and eight hitting errors largely offset by the 10 service errors of the Cougars.

“Some of our players were off, maybe,” Perinar said.

“I feel like we’re the better team, but we just had to come alive. We needed more momentum and more, I guess, energy, honestly. Our team, sometimes, we get down on ourselves. We just gotta put it past ourselves and pick ourselves up.”

Set 2 lacked any real separation either way until the final few points. The score was tied at 20 when sophomore Jeffrey Dames went to the service line for the Indians (6-3, 3-0). He produced four points, three of which were kills by Perinar. A service error by Dames at match point kept the Cougars alive, but only long enough for Perinar to finish them off with a sideout kill.

Dame, who finished with 13 points and two aces, was the only player with more than six service points for either team.

“He has become a much more confident server. He’s got a great jump float,” Minooka coach Janel Grzetich said of Dames. “And, it’s just, this is his first year on varsity.

It’s been a little bit of a slow process with him in terms of just stepping on the court and

Minooka defeated Plainfield South, 25-18, 25-21. saying, ‘Yep, OK, I’m in here to serve. That’s my one purpose. I’m gonna do this.’ ... He did a great job. He did exactly what’s expected of him.”

South’s six second-set service errors were more costly than its four in the first simply because the Cougars (1-4, 1-2) were more competitive.

They trailed from the time

five straight Dames points put Minooka ahead 7-3 in the first set until the finish.

“We had four or five [service errors] at the beginning [of Set 2] there, and that will totally shut you down real fast,” Plainfield South coach Taryn Surbaugh said. “Especially because it’s the only thing that you essentially

control in volleyball is your serves. And we serve a lot in practice, and so it’s a little frustrating.”

Perinar made a couple of early hitting errors before recovering to total more than half of his team’s kills. Mason Novak added six kills for Minooka, and Brandon Baranski had 16 assists.

“Everyone makes mistakes, honestly. I knew that it’s a long game, so I just put it past me and kept swinging,” Perinar said.

Cody Viertel’s three kills were a high for the Cougars.

Adam Burt led the team in assists with six and tied, with Andrew Smith, for the lead in points with five.

HE HAS BECOME A MUCH MORE CONFIDENT SERVER. HE’S GOT A GREAT JUMP FLOAT.” Janel Grzetich, Minooka boys volleyball coach said of sophomore Jeffrey Dames

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Mitch Vogrin came up one pitch shy of a perfect game last season so the Minooka senior didn’t want to miss out on a chance to grab a no-hitter.

That opportunity came Tuesday, and although the Indians right-hander again came up a bit shy of perfection on the mound, his performance wasn’t far from it.

Vogrin retired the first 16 batters he faced and didn’t give up a hit, only allowing two runners to reach base while striking out 13 as Minooka captured a 7-0 Southwest Prairie Conference win over Plainfield East.

“I felt very confident with all of my pitches,” Vogrin said. “I was throwing a fastball, curve, change and cutter, and was spot-on today, so I was feeling good. This was one of my top performances this season, along with the Providence game.

“I’m very confident in our defense and our hitting has been kind of rough so far, but I think that we’re coming around. This was a good all-around win for us.”

Considering how many big games Vogrin (4-0) has pitched during his career, Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic wasn’t too surprised to see him throw a no-hitter.

“Mitch sure was great [Tuesday],” Petrovic said.

“He’s a tremendously talented kid, but he’s also a great person and he’s so much fun to be around since he has lots of enthusiasm. He’s also one tough kid. He goes out and pitches on a day where it’s really cold and it doesn’t bother him. But it’s not a surprise since this is what he does.

“We’ve played well a lot.

This is a good group of kids and they do a lot of things right. They’re aggressive on the bases, play good defense and we’ve gotten outstanding pitching all year.

We just need a few hits here and there, and we’re getting those.”

Minooka second baseman Jake Null fields a ground ball for the out against Plainfield East during Tuesday’s game. cellent pitching this season, with Tuesday’s outing being its sixth shutout.

The Indians were visitors in the game that was changed because field conditions.

They scored a run in the first and added two more in the second to take control against East.

Cole Thompson singled home a run in the first, and Cristian Sanchez drove in two more in the next inning.

Minooka broke the game open with a three-run fourth inning, when courtesy runner Sean Bell and Kenny Walsh came home on an errant pickoff throw and then Neal Tyrell scored on a base hit by Sanchez.

The Indians scored their final run in the fifth when Tyler Paulsen came home after a liner by Walsh that smacked off of starter Ryan Roberts, who had to exit the contest as a result.

Although the Bengals (46-1, 2-2 SPC) struggled at the plate, they did perform well in the field, turning a pair of double plays while center fielder Drew DeMumbrum made a saving catch that prevented two runs from scoring.

East finally got its first baserunner with one out in the sixth when Stevie Dunlap reached on an error and Jordan Blackman followed with a walk. But Vogrin got out of the jam by getting a strikeout and a force play.

“He was dominant,” Plainfield East coach Adam O’Reel said of Vogrin. “His arm action on his curveball is very similar to his fastball, which is really going to eat up a lot of high school hitters. He can definitely dominate some games and take over. We didn’t swing the bats well, so it wouldn’t have much anyway.

“But I thought that we did play well defensively.

And I thought that our pitching was OK, but we had two breakdowns and Minooka doesn’t beat themselves, so you can’t expect them to make a mistake to let you into the game.”

Plainfield C. survives late Plainfield E. charge Wildcats hold off 2 comeback attempts made by the Bengals

By TIM O’BRIEN Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Central’s Tom Poznanski offered absolutely no excuses.

Playing well and cruising through the first set Tuesday against Southwest Prairie Conference rival Plainfield East, the Wildcats let up.

Seemingly down and out, East charged back into the boys volleyball match.

That quick blink wouldn’t cost Poznanski and his teammates the set or even the match; it was simply something the Wildcats know they need to work on.

“No excuse for being up so much and letting them back into the game,” Poznanski

said. “We let our foot off the gas pedal. East plays with a lot of energy, so we’ve got to keep pushing and finish them off.”

Message received for the Wildcats.

Holding off Plainfield East’s late charge in the first set, host Plainfield Central raced out to an early lead in the second set and held off the comeback, winning 25-23, 25-21.

Poznanski finished with nine kills for Central (8-5, 3-0 SPC) with Gavin Broekema (nine digs), Noah Randall (18 assists), and Tyler Spangler (4 kills) contributing in the win.

Jordan Taylor (four kills, three blocks), Daniel Vaughan (three blocks), Nicholas Jenca (six digs) and Andrew Tovar (eight assists) led Plainfield East (5-9, 0-3 SPC) in the loss.

As for his team’s struggles

“Whoever is on the court, we expect them to perform at a high level,” Hurlburt said. “It’s a lot more about the drive. A few of the boys have it and some are missing it. That will be our challenge, getting everybody to have that killer instinct.”

Alex Hurlburt Plainfield Central boys volleyball coach

closing out the win, Central coach Alex Hurlburt is simply looking for consistency from each player on the court.

“Whoever is on the court, we expect them to perform at a high level,” Hurlburt said. “It’s a lot more about the drive. A few of the boys have it and some are missing it. That will be our challenge, getting everybody to have that killer instinct.”

Cruising through the first set, Central held a command-

ing 20-11 advantage only to see it wither away, East mounting a comeback aided by six Central errors, getting as close as 24-23. It was only two kills from Gage Wustenfeld that helped the Wildcats hold on for the opening win.

“We’re young without a lot of varsity experience,” Poznanski said. “We have to learn not to let up, to keep pushing through. We’ll learn how to do that. Once we get more experience, we’ll be better at it.”

The Wildcats found themselves in an eerily similar situation in the second set, but their athleticism paid off in the end. A Kyle Oehler block and Poznanski kill held off the Bengals, as the Wildcats grabbed the win.

“We just have to play our game,” Poznanski said. “If we play our game with good passes, execute and play good defense, that’s how we’ll beat teams.”

Plainfield East had 11 unforced errors in each set, including seven service errors overall, all things that East coach Daniel Vergo knows can be cleaned up.

“A lot of that comes with these guys not having played together,” Vergo said. “This is the first time we’ve had the entire team together. It will come when they learn to play with each other, just that chemistry. It will be more fun with a fun season.”

AREA ROUNDUP

St. Francis’ Butler, Frantz earn CCAC weekly honors STAFF REPORTS JOLIET – University of St. Francis baseball player Jake Butler (Minooka) and men’s golfer Daniel Frantz have been named the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Players of the Week in their respective sports.

Butler was tabbed CCAC Pitcher of the Week for the second time this spring after throwing a one-hit shutout as the Saints defeated Roosevelt University, 5-0, on Wednesday. The righty retired 12 of the Lakers’ final 13 batters; the other hitter reached on a Saints’ error with two outs in the sixth inning. Butler struck out nine while issuing only one walk. The one-hitter was the third of Butler’s career.

Butler, who was named CCAC and NAIA National Pitcher of the Week for the week of March 24, is 6-foot-1 with a 2.50 ERA and .188 opponent batting average this

season. Ranked second in the CCAC and 12th in the NAIA in strikeouts per nine innings (11.5), Butler has won his last five starts – all seven-inning complete-games – compiling a 0.77 ERA with 53 strikeouts and seven walks over 35 innings during that stretch.

Frantz shared medalist honors with teammate Austin Gass at the USF Spring Invitational as he fired a 2-under-par 69 to help lead the Saints to the title.

He then placed 22nd among 71 golfers with a 36-hole score of 154 (70-84) as USF placed sixth of 12 teams at Millikin University’s Weist Foundation Classic this past Friday and Saturday.

In 54 holes, Frantz – who earned his first career CCAC weekly certificate – carded an average round of 74.3.

Having played 20 rounds in 11 events this season, Frantz holds the Saints’ top season scoring average at 77.2.

BLACKHAWKS

VIEWS Tom Musick

• Wednesday, April 16, 2014

CHICAGO – Brent Seabrook had no place to hide.

Moments earlier during Tuesday’s practice, Seabrook had leaned forward to receive a pass along the blue line from Blackhawks teammate Duncan Keith. But Seabrook lost his footing as the puck hit his stick, and he tipped and fell like a drunken sailor.

All of Seabrook’s teammates found this to be hilarious, but especially Andrew Shaw. His grin was bigger than Lake Michigan.

He slapped his stick against the ice repeatedly, which is the way hockey players clap when they are excited.

Shaw chuckled afterward as he caught his breath in front of his locker. He already had put his stick away, or else he might have slapped it against the carpeted floor.

“Getting on one of your teammates if they fall like that,” Shaw said, “it puts a smile on everyone’s face – even the guy that did fall.”

It was true. Once Seabrook had climbed to his skates and dusted off the assortment of ice chips and embarrassment, he could not help but grin and shake his head.

Make no mistake, the postseason is serious business for Shaw and his teammates. The Hawks have won two Stanley Cup championships in the past four seasons, and they will try to make it three out of five starting with a firstround series against the division rival St. Louis Blues.

But it’s possible to be intense and goofy at the same time.

For proof, watch Shaw.

Watch how Shaw deflects a shot past goaltender Corey Crawford and lifts one leg and pumps both arms in mock celebration. Watch how he pings a shot off of the lower crossbar and into the net and wheels around, beckoning his teammates to cheer. Watch how he whoops across the ice after Marian Hossa scores a goal.

Shaw savors role as Hawks’ intense goofball

Blackhawks center Andrew Shaw (left) celebrates his goal past Dallas Stars goalie Kari Lehtonen, Trevor Daley (6) and Ryan Garbutt (16) as teammate Duncan Keith watches during the first period March 25 at the United Center. The Hawks begin their first series of the playoffs Thursday in St. Louis.

Watch how he talks about the playoffs, by far his favorite time of year.

“As long as the intensity is there and the work ethic is there and everyone is focused in, I think you should have as much fun as you can,” Shaw said. “It makes you love the game even more when you’re out there having a good time.”

It has been written in this space before that Shaw, 22, might be the only hockey player in the universe who doesn’t take naps before night games.

His enthusiasm is genuine and infectious, and his teammates appreciate his nonstop energy on the ice.

On Tuesday, Shaw centered a line with Bryan Bickell on his left wing and Patrick Kane on his right wing. He happily yapped at both players in between shifts.

“He’s excited,” Kane said.

“[Shaw’s] excited. I think we’re all excited to start playing again, especially in the playoffs. He’s a kid that’s going to be working hard. He’s going to be the hardest worker on the ice every night, whether it’s regular season or playoffs. That’s one of the special things about him.”

Patrick Kane Blackhawks right wing “I think we’re all excited to start playing again, especially in the playoffs. He’s a kid that’s going to be working hard. He’s going to be the hardest worker on the ice every night, whether it’s regular season or playoffs. That’s one of the special things about him.”

When Shaw wasn’t busy sprinting down the ice on three-man rushes, he was

parked in front of the net as part of the Hawks’ practice power-play unit. He battled hard against teammate Jeremy Morin, who was serving as one of the penalty killers.

After a failed deflection, Shaw gave Morin a playful shove to show his frustration. Morin grinned and Shaw grinned back, both regrouping for another competition.

“He’s always full of ener-

gy,” Morin said. “It’s actually kind of amazing. He never runs out of steam.”

Never. As in, never ever.

For the past couple of weeks, Morin has had Shaw as his roommate on the road, which is sort of like having a 180-pound puppy as a roommate on the road.

“He’s full of energy all of the time, and I’m not really a morning guy,” Morin said.

“I’ve learned to just kind of ignore him a little bit when he gets too excited, and he kind of calms down a bit.”

Care to guess who won’t be able to ignore Shaw?

The St. Louis Blues.

Bring on the playoffs.

CUBS

Rainout sets up twinbill

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com NEW YORK – Coming off their ninth consecutive series loss, dating to last year, maybe the Cubs could use Tuesday’s rainout more than most, especially coming off back-to-back losses against the rival Cardinals over the weekend.

So no one was complaining when rain all day Tuesday and a worse forecast for Tuesday night forced the postponement of the opener of the two-game series against the New York Yankees before the teams even arrived at Yankee Stadium.

Not until Wednesday, at least.

That’s when the series will be played in its entirety as a split doubleheader, with

game times of 12:05 p.m. and 6:05 p.m.

The pitching matchups remain the same, with Tuesday’s scheduled starters, Cubs’ right-hander Jason Hammel (2-0, 2.63 ERA) and Yankees right-hander Masahiro Tanaka (1-0, 3.21), pitching the first game.

Cubs lefty Travis Wood (0-1, 2.92) faces Michael Pineda (1-1, 1.50) in the nightcap.

Depending how deep the starters are able to work Wednesday, the extra day off should benefit a bullpen that has been leaned on hard in the early going, in part because of three extra-inning games (adding 10 total innings).

The Cubs also were delayed by rain by 46 minutes in the third inning of Sunday’s loss in St. Louis.

BULLS

No longer table for 2 in Eastern Conference

By JOE COWLEY jcowley@suntimes.com Bulls players are well aware they didn’t deserve the presumed invite to the Eastern Conference finals a few months ago.

Not enough star power, a bit too gritty, and when it really came down to it, just not good enough in the win-loss column.

No, it was a table for two back then, and only Miami and Indiana were having chairs pulled out for them.

“We all get it,” Bulls veteran guard Kirk Hinrich said.

“Indiana and Miami were having unbelievable years, and the rest of the East was really struggling.”

“Were” is the key word.

The No. 1-seeded Pacers entered March 44-13, and looking like the first real threat to the Miami dynasty since the Heatles came together four seasons ago. How about a pedestrian 11-13 record since then, barely gripping onto that top seed.

Meanwhile, the back-toback champion Heat were 41-

14 walking into March, only to go 13-13 since then in grabbing the No. 2 seed.

As for that table for two?

Not such a sure thing now.

“I don’t know if you want to read into that because that stuff can change quickly,” Hinrich said, when asked if the struggles of those two teams have been noticed. “Obviously, we want to be playing as well as we can, be healthy and have as much momentum as we can going in, but I’m excited because it’s getting close.

“Do we believe we can compete, excited for the playoffs, like our chances? Yeah.”

The Bulls are 16-7 since March 1, so if there’s a record that they feel needs attention, it’s their own.

“Yeah, I think we were so caught up in trying to right our ship I don’t think we were caught up in everyone assuming Miami and Indiana were clear paths to the (Eastern Conference) finals,” veteran Mike Dunleavy said. “We were so worried about what we were trying to do. We were trying to get in the playoffs,

then get home-court advantage, then trying to move up. I don’t think it was really something that crossed our minds more than anyone else.

“I think we take notice that we’re playing well, and that’s the biggest thing. Those two teams have dropped off record-wise, but some other teams have also played well. Maybe people are second-guessing that things are all set up for a showdown between those two, so we’ll see.

That’s a long way away and we have a lot of business to take care of.”

Starting in Charlotte on Wednesday night, and a very simple scenario: Lose and stay in the No. 4 seed; Win and a Toronto loss, get into the No. 3 seed. If Toronto and the Bulls finish in a tie, the Raptors have the tie-breaker.

The Bulls want that No. 3 seed because it’s a higher seed, but also because the road for the No. 4 seed might be a bit tougher. That means opening with a Brooklyn team that has gone 17-7 since March and is a nasty matchup because of their three-guard attack.

Joliet Junior College chef Vonhoff to retire in May after 30 years of teaching

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

If you go

dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College chef Keith Vonhoff chose a culinary career partly to avoid math, or so he thought.

“I found out later how wrong I was,” said Vonhoff, who is retiring after 30 years of teaching and attending the April 25 Spring Gala as a guest. “You need math skills to process recipes, set menu prices and know whether or not you’re making a profit.”

Chef Michael McGreal, culinary arts/hospitality management department chair at JJC, said he will miss Vonhoff – and not only because Vonhoff often leaves surprise gourmet lunches in McGreal’s office, such as homemade bratwurst, with every component also homemade, from the pastry roll to the sauerkraut and mustard toppings.

“I’ve been to Greece, the Greek islands and downtown Chicago and no one makes better gyros than Chef Vonhoff,” McGreal said. “I’ll lose 10 pounds when he leaves and my office will no longer smell like a hot dog stand or a rib joint.”

McGreal also enjoyed the daily interaction with Vonhoff, who was instrumental in hiring McGreal, as well as encouraging McGreal to run for department chair. McGreal objected. He had been teaching less than three years and, at 33, was 10 to 30 years younger than the other chefs.

“All of a sudden,” McGreal said, “I was my boss’s boss.”

Vonhoff had been chair of the search committee when McGreal had applied for a JJC instructor position. McGreal recalled a letter from Vonhoff stating that McGreal was one of the finalists for the position and to prepare a one-hour demonstration on fabricating poultry and a onehour lecture on “the energy nutrients.”

n What: Spring Gala n When: 6 to 10 p.m. April 25 n Where: Cafeteria at Joliet Junior

College, 1215 Houbolt Road, Joliet n Tickets: $95 a person n Menu: First course: sautéed salmon with a bacon thyme crust.

Chef Keith Vonhoff demonstrates April 8 how to prepare a French baguette for students at Joliet Junior College. Vonhoff is retiring in May after 30 years at the college.

Because “poultry fabrication” ranged from butchering a chicken to preparing a fryer to deboning chicken breasts, McGreal contacted Vonhoff for specifics. Vonhoff, McGreal said, only replied, “Do whatever you want.”

So, McGreal “did a couple fabrication methods” and prepared a meal, complete with extra plates and forks for sampling. Vonhoff, McGreal said, instructed his assistant to throw away the food and then turned to McGreal and told him to begin the lecture.

“There was no break, not even to grab my notes or a sip of water,” McGreal said.

McGreal didn’t know at the time that, because Vonhoff had carefully observed McGreal as he worked – noting any under or over seasoning, mixing or cooking – he didn’t have to waste time by tasting the food.

During McGreal’s 90-minute interview, Vonhoff did not ask McGreal about his teaching methods. Instead,

he checked McGreal’s qualifications by quizzing him on the different grades of poultry and how to make pate a choux.

Once hired, McGreal cotaught with Vonhoff, who “didn’t even let me talk.”

McGreal now knows Vonhoff was demonstrating his class expectations and how to create “dedicated, committed and focused chefs.” And McGreal often tells that story to students that say, “chef Vonhoff is being mean to me.”

In 1985, Vonhoff, of Batavia, was just 25 and a divorced parent desiring more time with his 5-year-old son when former JJC president J.D. Ross, then a dean, hired Vonhoff to teach a full-time weekend program. This program allowed culinary arts students to get their associate degree by attending school only on Saturdays and Sundays, Vonhoff said.

During the next five or six years, Vonhoff taught it all, from meat fabrication to pastry, he said. Previously, Von-

hoff had worked for various hotels and restaurants. These “either burned down or went out of business ... and that includes a hospital.”

Vonhoff started his culinary career as a dishwasher who loved to eat, so he figured by learning to cook, he could prepare food the way he liked it. Vonhoff’s father had a friend in the catering business who had sent both his sons to the Culinary Institute of America in New York.

Since his 1978 graduation, Vonhoff has become certified in the following areas: executive pastry chef, culinary educator, hospitality educator, hotel administration and culinary professional. McGreal said Vonhoff is the only JJC chef with certifications in both culinary and pastry.

Because Vonhoff teaches the first semester courses, as well as sanitation, Vonhoff has influenced 100 percent of JJC’s culinary arts students of the past 30 years, McGreal said.

One of them was Aaron Guajardo, 27, formerly of Joliet and now working on a bachelor’s degree in dietetics at Baylor University in Texas.

In 2011, Guajardo was the American Culinary Federation’s student culinarian and part of JJC’s culinary competition team that took first place at the ACF’s national competition.

Guajardo also worked for Vonhoff as a lab assistant in the JJC classroom and called Vonhoff “strict but fair,” someone who taught him “critical thinking, technique, timing and the practical aspects of working in the kitchen.”

“I never realized it until I was out in the field and recalling everything he taught me,” Guajardo said. “I’m grateful to him for that.”

No longer watching students develop their skills is definitely the downside of retirement, Vonhoff said. He’s thoroughly enjoyed passing on knowledge and skills.

“It can be frustrating,” Vonhoff said of the teaching process, “but it’s very satisfying to see that light go on in their eyes.”

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Stanley Milgram, a social psychologist who died in 1984, said, “It is easy to ignore responsibility when one is only an intermediate link in a chain of action.”

The player who will become the dummy is a tad like that, but in particular must not ignore his responsibilities in the bidding.

Today’s deal, though, features another word in that sentence.

Look at the South hand. West’s opening bid of one heart is followed by two passes. What should South do?

In the second seat, immediately over a one-level opening bid, a single jump overcall in a suit is weak, indicating a respectable six-card suit and some 5-10 high-card points. In the balancing seat, though, the jump overcall becomes intermediate. It shows a decent six-card suit and some 14-16 high-card points – one winner more than a minimum opening bid.

Here, over South’s two-spade bid, presumably West would rebid three hearts, and North would compete with three spades. Then let’s assume that South shrugs his shoulders and bids four spades.

West leads the heart king.

East overtakes with his ace and returns the heart two. West wins, cashes the club ace, and continues with another club.

How should declarer continue?

This deal is easy for someone who remembers the chain of action and inaction during the bidding. East passed over one heart, but has produced the heart ace. He cannot also have the spade king; otherwise, he would have responded.

So South should play a spade to his ace, being relieved when the king comes tumbling down.

Declarer draws the last trump and claims.

Cellphone snoop discovers boyfriend is cheating Dear Abby: I have been in a long-distance relationship with “Victor” for several years. Recently I began to suspect he was cheating. What raised my suspicion was that I suddenly couldn’t reach him on the weekends. Usually we would Skype – Sunday night for me, Monday morning for him.

Last February when I visited him, I snooped in his phone – spare me the condemnation. I found an email he had written to an old girlfriend in which he suggested they plan their “next” rendezvous.

I plan on dumping him, but I don’t know how to go about it.

I’ve always been bad at dumping people. Should I write him a letter and confess that I snooped? My first inclination is to disconnect completely and say nothing.

I’m afraid to confront him because he is obviously a good liar.

I’m afraid if I do, he’ll make me doubt the evidence ... trust me, he’s that good! – Cheated On In L.A. Dear Cheated On: Why any woman would stay with someone who is a practiced liar (“that good”) is beyond me. My advice is to disconnect from him and say

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips nothing. It should be interesting to see how long it takes him to notice your absence.

When he does – which probably won’t be on a weekend – tell him the romance is over and reference the email he sent his former girlfriend. Expect him to go on the offensive and try to make you feel guilty for having checked his cellphone. Don’t buy it, and don’t relent.

Dear Abby: I don’t know if you have addressed the issue of women and breast augmentation from the standpoint of noticing the work done, but I am trying to find a way to say “I noticed” without being crude or tacky.

My wife works with a woman who recently had augmentation surgery, and we agree that the doctor did a very nice job. According to my wife, the woman is not shy about discussing her surgery.

I have known her for years, and

we’re on friendly terms. We talk often and exchange hugs.

How would I go about complimenting her on her new look? I don’t want to say the wrong thing.

Or should I just say nothing? – Enjoys The View In Phoenix Dear Enjoys The View: All you need to say is, “You look GREAT!” and she’ll get the message. Trust me.

Dear Abby: Every time I talk to anyone, my husband says I give too many details. While I understand that men are different from women, he often bugs me when I talk to female friends or my mother-in-law. I don’t know what to do, because we women love to talk and share details. Please reassure me that I’m not an oddity. – Talkin’ Up A Storm Dear Talkin’ Up A Storm: You’re not an oddity, and your husband should not be eavesdropping on your conversations. However, because he can’t resist “bugging” you, converse with your friends when you’re out of earshot.

Drooping eyelid is rarely the result of serious problem Dear Doctor K: My right eyelid droops and interferes with my vision. What can I do about this?

Dear Reader: The medical term for a drooping eyelid is “ptosis” (pronounced TOE-sis). In severe cases like yours, the drooping eyelid can cover all or part of the pupil and interfere with vision.

Every part of our body is constantly tugged on by gravity.

And something that is constantly being pulled downward (at least when we are standing or sitting) tends to sag. The eyelid is no exception. The effects of gravity can be exaggerated by any injury that weakens the strength of the eyelid.

What gives the eyelids the strength to open? Tiny muscles that get signals from specific nerves leading to those muscles.

Any injury to the eye can weaken the nerves or muscles involved in opening the eyelids. A common nerve injury is caused by diabetes, for example. Sometimes Botox is to blame. This popular cosmetic procedure to eliminate wrinkles at the brow and forehead can cause temporary eyelid drooping.

Many people tend to develop one or more drooping eyelids as they grow older – without any

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff particular medical cause being discovered. President Kennedy, for example, had one drooping eyelid. (A friend of mine said it gave him “bedroom eyes.” I think she was responding to the fact that he was a handsome man.)

Before trying any treatment for a drooping eyelid, you should have a medical exam. This will help identify the underlying cause. Ptosis resulting from disease usually responds to treatment of the disease. If the problem is caused by Botox injections, wait until the injections wear off. This takes about three to four months.

When age-related ptosis interferes with vision, a plastic surgeon usually can correct the problem. He or she will surgically raise your eyelid by removing excess tissue and lifting the lid. This usually can be performed as an outpatient procedure and is done under local anesthesia, which allows the surgeon to adjust the position of your eyelid while your eyes are open. Many health insur-

ers will cover this operation if the ptosis is affecting your vision.

In most people, ptosis develops gradually and is not caused by a serious underlying medical condition. However, when ptosis develops suddenly – over days or weeks – it can be a warning sign of something more serious.

Several serious diseases can affect your eye muscles, nerves to the eyelids or eye socket. For example, ptosis can be one of the first symptoms of myasthenia gravis. This rare disorder affects the ways muscles respond to nerves. Ptosis that comes on suddenly can also result from a stroke, brain tumor or brain aneurysm. This requires immediate medical attention.

Over the years, I’ve seen many people with drooping eyelids. Fortunately, I’ve seen only one that I recall with the sudden development of ptosis caused by a serious underlying condition. So, the likelihood is that your drooping eyelid does not indicate a serious problem.

Parents should be home during party Dr. Wallace: My best friend is turning 16 in a week, so her best friends will be throwing her a sweet 16 birthday party, and I agreed to host this affaire. Ten couples will be invited. The party will be on a Saturday night and will start at 8 p.m. and end at 11:30.

Tons of food and soft drinks will be served, but absolutely no drugs or alcohol will be allowed. My parents were good enough to allow me to host the party, but I’m upset by the fact that they insist they will be home for the event.

I’m a good kid and feel I can host this party without my parents peeking in now and then. It makes me feel like they don’t trust me to handle things.

They must be thinking of the “Animal House” movie. It’s going to be really embarrassing to tell my friends that they have to be extra careful to not behave in any shape or form that could cause my parents to disapprove. After all, we are all good kids (my parents know most of them) and we don’t need babysitters. How can I change my parents’ minds? – Nameless, St. John, Ind. Dear Nameless: Your parents don’t need to be babysitters or even chaperones, but they should be in the house during the party, and your guests should be told they are there. Don’t make a big deal of this; just enjoy your party. If nothing unusual occurs, your friends will forget your parents are there.

But in the event of an accident or “party crashers,” they will be there to handle it.

Dr. Wallace: Three of my friends have been killed and four more local teens have been severely injured in automobile accidents

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace since Christmas, and all of the accidents involved drinking and driving.

They paid dearly for trying to have a good time.

Teens, I wish I could make you all understand that it is possible to have a good time on the weekends, but that drinking and driving is not the way to celebrate. When you drink and drive you are putting your life and your friends’ lives in danger as well as putting the lives of everyone else on the road in jeopardy!

Think about this!

Parents, I wish you would make an extra effort to stress safety when talking to your teens. And please make sure you know where your teens are going and who they are with at all times, and especially warn them about driving carefully and about calling you for a ride if their driver has been drinking. Being a wise parent just might save you a midnight call from a state trooper. The call you never want to hear: “Is this the mother/ father of Jenny Doe? I’m sorry to inform you that she has been in an auto accident and ... “ – Worried Teen, Philadelphia, Penn.

Dear Worried Teen: You have presented a very sobering picture.

Thank you for sharing your views. Hopefully wise teens and adults will heed your advice.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

Photo by Nicola Dove

Alan Partridge, the callow, obnoxious, stubbornly amusing creation of comedian Steve Coogan, takes the lead in “Alan Partridge.”

‘Alan Partridge’: You’ll laugh; you’ll squirm

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post Alan Partridge, the callow, obnoxious, stubbornly amusing creation of British comedian Steve Coogan, makes his big-screen debut in “Alan Partridge,” a larky – if sketchily schematic – attempt to see if the self-adoring DJ has the chops to carry his own feature film.

Based on this uneven but occasionally hilarious outing, the jury is still out.

“Alan Partridge” will certainly appeal to die-hard fans of the character, who Coogan created over 20 years ago as a fictional sports reporter on the BBC’s current affairs radio show “On the Hour.”

In “Alan Partridge,” our eponymous antihero is working in a local radio station in Norwich, a steadfastly un-quaint town in England’s Norwalk County. When the station comes under the stewardship of profit-minded corporate overlords, the transition sends the staff into a swivet of anxiety – and, ultimately, an armed standoff, when one of the station’s employees is unceremoniously sacked.

Coogan created Alan Partridge with

Armando Iannucci, best known as the viper-ish wit behind HBO’s fiendishly clever political satire, “Veep.” As with that show – as well as with Iannucci’s scathing Iraq War takedown “In the Loop” – some of the best moments of “Alan Partridge” are found in the tossed off, sotto voce asides that characters deliver almost as afterthoughts.

Here, those take the form of Partridge’s smarmily cruel song introductions (he identifies Fleetwood Mac as “soft rock cocaine enthusiasts”) and a series of escalatingly more inane callin topics, such as “Which is the worst ‘monger’?” or “Things that were better in the old days.”

Known for his singularly antisocial sense of humor, Partridge doesn’t disappoint, running roughshod over religious sensitivities (“Never criticize Muslims,” he scolds his young sidekick, played by Tim Key. “Only Christians. Jews, a little bit.”) and trotting out tired gay jokes. “Alan Partridge” also possesses its share of slapstick, off-color humor. In one of the best gags, Alan delivers a word-perfect disquisition to his assistant, Lynn (Felicity Montagu), on the ospreys he says he’s researching on the computer, while the perfectly formed buttocks of

a female porn star are clearly reflected in his glasses. Later, he manages to make the best of a hoary routine in which he’s caught, quite literally, with his pants down.

Partridge is such a fatuous, superficial figure that the trick is to make him palatable enough to sustain interest for more than an hour. The filmmakers meet with uneven success, putting him into a barely there wisp of a story, but allowing Coogan’s own complicated mix of nastiness and disarming self-awareness to percolate through and carry the day. (Perhaps the world is divided into two types of people: those who prefer Coogan’s Alan Partridge persona, and those who prefer his giddily funny improvisatory explorations with Rob Brydon.)

Once viewers accept “Alan Partridge’s” desultory groaners, they may well come to enjoy its playful, sometimes morbidly funny lunacy. It’s all a question of taste, which Partridge fans know all too well their favorite screwup lacks in all the right places.

• “Alan Partridge” received two out of four stars. The film is rated R and contains language, brief violence and nudity. It runs 90 minutes.
