Lockport council briefed on potential K-9 program

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – City Council members got a closer look at what a police K-9 program would be like for Lockport.

On Wednesday, Lockport Police Chief Terry Lemming came before the council during the Committee of the Whole meeting to answer several questions regarding a potential K-9 program for the Lockport Police Department.

At an April 2 city council meeting, council members had tabled a request from Lemming for approval of an intergovernmental agreement with Lemont. Police officials were looking to trade a 2013 Ford SUV squad car for the Lemont Police Department’s 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, which has K-9 equipment.

Lockport police officials received a $12,500 grant from Citgo Lemont Refinery to start the K-9 program when the Lemont Police Department discontinued its own program but some Lockport council members

had questions about the costs and benefits of the program.

When asked why the K-9 program is needed for Lockport, Lemming said canines are useful for tracking lost children, people with mental illnesses, dangerous suspects and drugs.

“Mayor [Steven] Streit wants the police department to be more engaged in the community,” he said. “The police K-9 initiative will assist in that regard by participating in community events. ... It’s our hope the Lockport community will embrace this dog.”

The K-9 program could increase revenue for Lockport police, as the program did for the Romeoville Police Department through criminal investigations and seizures, Lemming said. He said Lemont police stopped their K-9 program because the dogs were being retired and there was insufficient staffing. Because of the grant from Citgo Lemont Refinery along with additional charges covered by the Metropolitan Area Narcotics

Squad, all start-up costs would be covered.

When it came to liability insurance costs, Lemming said there would be no impact on insurance rates but the city’s legal counsel recommended dog bites of an innocent person be handled like any other claim to the city. The canine officer would instruct the person to bring their medical bills to the city clerk to file a claim.

Some members on the council had questions about dog bites. Lemming said the Illinois State Police has 42 K-9 units throughout the state and last year none of them bit an innocent person. In the past five years there were two to three occurrences and all attributed to errors made by the handler.

Lemming said the K-9 program would likely not be implemented until the next fiscal year and that the police department would use another breed besides a German shepherd.

Fourth Ward Alderman Robert Perretta said he was looking forward to the K-9 unit.

ROMEOVILLE

New class of liquor license created

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Village trustees paved the way for craft beer events in Romeoville by creating a new class of liquor license at Wednesday’s regular meeting.

The class H-1 temporary license will authorize the sale of craft beer to be consumed at a licensed location.

“It’s designated specifically for what we would call a craft beer event,” Village Attorney Rich Vogel said, adding that the license is similar to the class H license for charitable organizations and nonprofits. However, the H-1 license doesn’t require events to be charitable.

The ordinance also adds the new 77,000-square-foot Athletic and Events Center as an eligible location for events that

serve alcohol.

It will allow Romeoville to host the Chicago Beer Rally at the center on May 3. The beer event will include at least 18 local and national craft beer companies.

Mayor John Noak said the new class is part of a continuous process to modernize and codify ordinances.

Trustees also approved joining two organizations that would help fight major and cyber crime.

An intergovernmental agreement for the Will/Grundy Major Crimes Task Force enlists the village with several other municipalities to share resources and equipment in the event of major crimes such as murders or non-parental kidnapping.

The Romeoville Police Department will also become a

participating agency in the Chicago Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory. One full-time forensic examiner from the department will be assigned to the laboratory for a minimum of two years to receive training in computer forensics.

The board approved the purchase of $82,577.95 of radio equipment and upgrades funded through the fire department operating budget with the help of a grant and the Office of the State Fire Marshal.

The fire department will also purchase a chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear portable testing kit for $21,955 through a similar grant.

The board also paved the way to buy four trucks for $188,035. The trucks will replace older vehicles that will be sold.

District 86 celebrates 100 years of children making music

Members of the Joliet Combined Junior High Bands prepare Wednesday to play during a performance celebrating the Joliet Grade School Band’s 100th anniversary at the Rialto Square Theatre.

About the Children for Peace Fine Arts Festival “It grew from meager beginnings to a nationally The Children for Peace Fine Arts Festival was launched in 2003 by then-Superintendent Phyllis Wilson. The concert capped off a year of recognized program.”

Jim Shaw District 86’s fine arts coordinator She mentioned “Festivo,” which was on the program Wednesday night, as a favorite.

“I really like ‘Festivo’ because its very unique and very complicated,” she said.

Band students can try out for any instrument they want.

But teachers will first make recommendations to the parents on what instruments would be the best fit, based on hand dexterity, ability to read music and ability to maintain pitch.

“We don’t want the students to get discouraged,” Shaw said.

For instance, the trumpet is always a popular choice, but not necessarily a good one if a student is likely to have dental work done in the future, Shaw said.

student projects.

This year the festival featured a display of student artwork, a historical overview of the band and Joliet Grade School Band performance.

Performances by the All City Band included “Our Heritage March” by Karl King, conducted by Wes Russell, a former music coordinator for district, “Black is the Color of My True Love’s Hair” by James Ployhar, conducted by Russell Lipari, another former coordinator, and “Festivo” by Vaclav Nehlybel, conducted by R. Scott Barnas.

The four junior high bands joined in to perform “See the Conquering Hero Comes” by George Frederick Handel, arranged Ryan Nowlin, and “America” based on “My Country ‘Tis of Thee,” arranged by Mike Story.

Band directors might recommend a clarinet as an alternative.

And then there’s the drums.

“We always get the one student who wants to play the drums,” Shaw said. “We politely tell them we don’t play the drums, we play percussion.”

Percussion students learn two instruments, the keyboard and battery percussion, which includes the snare drum.

In the end, the parents make the final decision.

And while learning to play an instrument is important, the process also helps make better students, Shaw said.

“It produces a well-rounded student,” he said. “Students are taking a lot of the elements they’re learning in their core classes, such as math and social students, and applying them in an art form.

“A lot of it goes on unconsciously and the students don’t even know it. A lot of them get annoyed when you point out they’re actually doing math by subdividing a rhythm.”

OLIET – When Joliet School District 86 struck up the band Wednesday night, it was for a major milestone: a century of performances.

The Joliet Grade School Band celebrated its 100th anniversary at the Children for Peace Fine Arts Festival at the Rialto Square Theatre.

It’s come a long way since it started in September 1913, said Jim Shaw, the district’s fine arts coordinator.

Back then, the band had 26 members, all boys from ages 9 to 14, and 20 band instruments the school board purchased for $600.

Students rehearsed once a week at Central School in downtown Joliet. They were charged 10 cents a week to participate.

“It grew from meager beginnings to a nationally recognized program,” Shaw said.

The district now boasts four junior high and 15 grade school bands, plus the District 86 All City Band, which features 240 students from fourth to eighth grade.

Joliet always has had a strong band tradition, in part because the city embraced the band movement at the turn of the century and because of the steel industry, which sponsored many of the performances, Shaw said.

Nationalism and pride of country also played a major role.

After World War I, the band was rechristened as the Boy Scout Band of Joliet.

Members wore Boy Scout uniforms.

In 1923, it became the first school band in the United States to win a national band contest.

Over the years, the band grew to more than 500 students.

It performed at more than 400 public concerts across the country.

Charles Peters, the man who led the band from 1943

to 1970, became nationally known, Shaw said. “He wrote books on teaching and band techniques, and on recruiting.

The whole band movement today is still ahead of the game because of him,” he said.

The band was exclusively male until the mid-1950s, when girls were allowed to join, but only as percussionists for instruments like the xylophone and bells, Shaw said.

These days, the band is about 55 percent female, and they are allowed to play whichever instrument they choose, he said.

But the band’s history is not without discord. The district eliminated the band and orchestra program in June 1966 because of funding problems.

The programs were reinstated in December 1966 after an education tax rate increase was approved by voters.

Currently 1,539 students participate in the District 86 music programs, which include band, orchestra and choir.

Freda Hogan, an eighth-grader at Hufford Junior High School, has been playing the clarinet in the All City Band since fourth grade.

“I just love the music that we get to play and how it sounds,” Hogan said. “With All City we get to play better, more complex music.”

Hogan said she was excited to perform in the concert.

“It’s a big deal,” Hogan said. “All of the directors are always going on about that it’s 100 years of tradition and that we are upholding that tradition. It’s great to be a part of that.”

Mariah Frykholm, another Hufford eighth-grader, plays alto saxophone. A big fan of “The Simpsons,” Frykholm said chose the alto sax because “it’s the instrument Lisa Simpson plays.”

Frykholm also enjoyed the challenge of playing music in the All City Band, which can play some serious pieces of music.

Gavin hopes to help calm Joliet council

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Bettye Gavin, whose nomination to the District 4 seat was unanimously approved Tuesday by the Joliet City Council, sees her role as both a peacekeeper and a community advocate.

“I think I can bring some calmness to the table that is needed and get the focus back on the city,” Gavin said of the council, which has become increasingly divisive in recent months.

Gavin said she’s known the mayor and most of the council members for years through her work as director of the Forest Park Community Center.

“They are all good people, with good hearts, that care for the city,” Gavin said. “We just need to get focused, take a deep breath and get to work.”

While Gavin’s selection was universally praised by the council, Mayor Tom Giarrante’s handling of the selection process was not. Councilmen Larry Hug, Bob O’Dekirk and Terry Morris criticized Giar-

rante for not letting the community be more involved in the process and reportedly leaking Gavin’s nomination prior to informing the council.

Gavin, still beaming Wednesday from her nomination, said she was taken aback by the controversy.

“The process was very clear to all of us in the district,” Gavin said. “We knew it would be the mayor’s choice, and then it would be the council’s decision to vote yes or no.”

Gavin said she plans to host a series of listening sessions with residents through neighborhood councils in the district.

A key issue will be spurring economic development on the East Side, with a focus on bringing in grocery stores and drug stores.

“We’re in the middle of a food desert,” Gavin said.

“There are no grocery stores close to us. Our residents have to go to New Lenox or Lockport to shop. A lot of people don’t have transportation.”

Another issue is job creation. Gavin said she hoped to see more initiatives like a pro-

posed veterans housing facility at the former main campus of Silver Cross Hospital – a plan that is being revisited at 2 p.m.

Thursday by the city’s zoning board.

“These are basic quality of life issues,” Gavin said.

“How do we make it attractive enough in the Fourth District to bring in new business?”

Gavin also wants the city to recommit to its Quality of Life Plan, a 2007 initiative that focused on improving housing, recreation, transportation, retail and industrial development in Joliet.

Unity Community Development Corporation and 16 neighborhood councils were launched through the plan, though most of the other recommendations were shelved during the recession, Gavin said.

Gavin, 64, succeeded Tony Ray as director of the community center in 2012. She serves as executive director of the National Hook-Up of Black Women. She is married with three grown children and several grandchildren.

Mudron starts early run for City Council spot

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet businessman and former athletic standout Patrick Mudron announced Wednesday that he plans to run for the District 2 seat on the Joliet City Council in the 2015 election.

“As a lifelong Joliet and District 2 resident, I am at the point in my life that I can now devote myself to the city of Joliet and specifically the residents of District 2,” Mudron said in a statement. “I have extensive experience as a successful businessman and have dealt with the individual concerns of the public my whole life.”

Mudron is seeking the seat currently held by Bob O’Dekirk, who announced in

January that he plans to challenge Mayor Tom Giarrante for the city’s top spot next year.

Mudron said divisiveness on the council was one of the reasons he decided to run.

“The council seems to be split regardless of the issue,” Mudron said.

One of Mud- Patrick ron’s concerns Mudron is the Evergreen Terrace condemnation suit.

“If we have the chance to take it over, why would we not want to take it over?”

Mudron said. “If we own it, we can make better choices than some outside owner.”

Mudron said he plans to

study the facts on what has happened in the city and what is on the horizon.

“As a true outsider, I don’t know all the workings yet and have to learn a lot of things,” he said.

Mudron is a partner with Mudron Kane Insurance Agency. He has been an insurance broker in the Joliet area for 43 years.

He may be better known from his days as an athlete both at Joliet Catholic High School, where Mudron won a state heavyweight wrestling championship, and at the University of Notre Dame.

Mudron is president of the Joliet Park District Foundation. He has served as chairman of the Work Force Investment Board of Will County, president for the Will County

Old Timers Baseball Association, president of the Joliet Catholic Athletic Booster and Alumni Association and as president of St. Raymond’s athletic board, school board and parish council.

“Serving on these boards and dealing with so many different situations has enabled me to develop into the leader Joliet needs,” Mudron said in his statement. “I am not a politician, and have no desire to do anything except make Joliet one of the premier cities in Illinois.”

Mudron is a graduate of Joliet Catholic High School and the University of Notre Dame, lettering in football and wrestling at both schools.

Mudron is married with two grown children and nine grandchildren.

LOCAL BRIEF Investigation leads to heroin arrest SHOREWOOD - Police say a man was selling heroin out of his home before his arrest Tuesday night.

Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team Director Wayne Ladd said Michael A. Kiesow, 40, had been the target of a monthlong investigation. At 10:45 p.m., CPAT agents raided the house in the 100 block of East Jefferson Street.

“We found three juveniles were inside the residence along with a number of needles lying around,” Ladd said.

Police also found 23 baggies of heroin, 80 pills of unprescribed painkillers and a .32-caliber Beretta while Kiesow was arrested on charges of delivery of drugs and drug possession.

Union puts Plainfield parks campaign on hold

By VIKAAS SHANKER

“While we have withdrawn our initial petition for representation, AFSCME remains committed to working with Plainield Park District employees to help them build their union and have a voice at work.”

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A union has temporarily stopped trying to organize Plainfield Township Park District employees after failing to get enough workers to sign up.

A spokesman for the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 said the union is not going away.

“While we have withdrawn our initial petition for representation, AFSCME remains committed to working with Plainfield Park District employees to help them build their union and have a voice at work,” Anders Lindall said.

Park District Interim Executive Director Gene Coldwater said he couldn’t specifically comment on the unionization efforts because he was kept out of the loop when former Executive Director Garrett

Anders Lindall AFSCME spokesman Peck was in charge.

Unionization efforts started in July when a petition was sent to the Illinois Labor Relations Board with the support of a majority of employees. It came at the same time that park commissioners approved salary increases for employees.

The unionization effort in-

cluded the controversial firing of maintenance employee Joel Schumaker. AFSCME filed a complaint with the state labor relations board charging that Schumaker was fired for his union activities.

The board found the park district violated state labor laws after the district failed to respond to the suit.

The lawsuit was settled Feb. 13, and prevents either side from claiming victory.

The settlement also limits either side’s ability to file charges over the unionization effort.

A letter from AFSCME 31 to park district employees, obtained by The Herald-News, states that “previous management of the park district began an illegal campaign of intimidation and misinformation. ... These tactics served to delay the process, and scare and confuse many employees.”

New Lenox man faces prison for neglect of elderly mother

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A New Lenox man pleaded guilty Wednesday to criminally neglecting his 81-year-old mother for six months in 2012.

Mark A. Kuech, 50, will face two to five years in prison when he is sentenced by Judge Sarah Jones, which is scheduled for June 25. Kuech also could receive probation or be fined $25,000.

From May to November 2012, Kuech and his mother, Margaret, were the only residents in their Carlton Court home. Assistant State’s Attorney Frank Byers said Kuech’s wife had been taking care of her mother-in-law until moving out because of Kuech’s problems with alcohol.

“During the time period [Kuech’s wife] was looking after her, the mother was healthy, able to get around ...

she would walk outside with the dogs,” Byers said.

But on Nov. 30, 2012, paramedics arrived to find a “lethargic, frail and malnourished” Margaret Kuech in a basement bedroom with bedsores. The elderly woman was taken to Silver Cross Hospital but remained disoriented and unable to eat solid food, Byers said.

The 5-foot 6-inch woman – whose previously-recorded weight had been 140 pounds – weighed less than 90 pounds, Byers said. Margaret Kuech is currently in stable condition in a nursing facility.

Police were called to the hospital immediately, but Mark Kuech was not arrested until December 2013. Byers told Jones the delay was due to a thorough investigation into Margaret Kuech’s finances, but police found no evidence of financial wrongdoing.

Joliet Harrah’s an exception to trend

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Casino revenue statewide continued to slide in March, while video gambling repeated a pattern of rapid growth set in its first year and a half of being legal in Illinois.

Video gaming net income grew 184 percent in March 2014, compared to March 2013, according to figures released this week by the Illinois Gaming Board.

Casino revenue saw a 7 percent decline over that same period.

Harrah’s Casino in Joliet was an exception: It generated $18.8 million in March, a slight increase from $18.7 million in the same month a year ago.

At Joliet’s Hollywood Casino, however, adjusted gross revenue dropped to $11.1 million from $12.8 million in March 2013.

The powerhouse Rivers Casino in northwest suburban Des Plaines also bucked the trend. The state’s newest

TWO PIECE COD DINNER

Chicago casino plan draws more support at hearing. PAGE 14 casino raked in $39.6 million in March, compared to $38 million a year ago.

Video gaming establishments statewide and in Joliet were the clear winners. The 211 video gaming terminals in Joliet raked in more than $645,000 in March, up from $192,466 in March 2013. Much of the growth, however, was due to more gaming terminals coming online as video betting expands into more establishments.

Izzy’s Tavern on Theodore Street had the most lucrative video gaming in Joliet.

The bar’s net income of $32,702 topped all others in the city. In a close second and third were Jackpots Gaming & Spirits and McBride’s Pub with net incomes of $32,149 and $29,247.

A new push for a stateowned casino in Chicago was the subject of public hearing

ONLY $8.00

on Wednesday before the Illinois Gaming Board. Lawmakers also took a closer look Wednesday at an alternative proposal that calls for a smaller Chicago casino and four others in Lake County, Winnebago County, Vermilion County and southern Cook County.

Previous gambling expansion proposals have passed out of the Illinois House and Senate, but were vetoed by Gov. Pat Quinn. Gambling expansion continues to be scrutinized by local lawmakers, including state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet.

McGuire said Wednesday even with the latest proposal, he’s still vehemently opposed to any form of gambling expansion, saying it would cost jobs at Joliet’s two casinos and reduce tax revenue in the city.

McGuire said he doesn’t believe either of the two expansion plans proposed this week have enough backing to pass before the end of a busy spring session filled with budget talks.

JOLIET – A Romeoville man who was caught downloading child pornography after making his own was sentenced Wednesday to 4½ years in prison.

Richard A. Gilsdorf, 26, pleaded guilty to producing child pornography, possession of child pornography and aggravated criminal sexual abuse in exchange for six similar counts being dropped. After being released from prison, Gilsdorf will have to register as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney John Connor told Judge Sarah Jones that an online sting in September 2013 determined Gilsdorf had downloaded child pornography to his computer.

When Gilsdorf’s computer was examined, technicians found a video Gilsdorf had

made in February 2011 that showed him molesting a then 14-year-old boy. Gilsdorf and the victim became friends over a shared enthusiasm for roller coasters and attended theme parks together, Connor said.

Police also found a childsized store mannequin in Gilsdorf’s bedroom that was seized as evidence and will now be destroyed.

Gilsdorf pleaded guilty after a psychiatrist determined he was fit to stand trial and not insane at the time of the offense.

Defense attorney Todd Polito told Jones that Gilsdorf was mentally, physically and sexually abused as a child.

Polito said Gilsdorf was remorseful and has helped the public as an amateur radio operator and weather spotter who reported seven tornadoes.

“I can’t even understand how you [who] were once a victim ... victimized another. It’s really quite sad,” Jones told Gilsdorf.

Shorewood police: Suspect sought sex with father and son

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – A man posted an online ad seeking sex with a father and son, police said.

Cordale P. Hallin, 25, of the 1700 block of Countryside Drive, was arrested Tuesday after he went to meet them about 3:30 p.m. in the 11000 block of Jefferson Street, Deputy Chief Jason Barten said.

Instead, Hallin was met by police officers and arrested on charges of possession of child pornography, grooming a minor for sexual purposes and traveling to meet a minor for sexual purposes. He was booked into the county jail on

$750,000 bond.

Barten said the FBI’s Child Exploitation Task Force began investigating Hallin in early March after he posted an advertisement soliciting sex on Craigslist.com. Agents and police officers contacted Hallin and exchanged messages before setting up the meet.

After Hallin was arrested, police searched his cellphone and found photographs of child pornography, Barten said.

“There are also indications he was trading [child pornography] photos,” Barten said.

Hallin’s computer and electronic equipment were seized when his house was searched and will be examined, Barten said.

LOCKPORT – Mayor Steven Streit outlined plans Wednesday during the annual State of the City address to raise the city’s profile in the Chicago region.

“The No. 1 one thing I can say is that we are not going to sit back like spiders in a web and hope somebody flies into us,” Streit told business and community leaders gathered at the Broken Arrow Golf Club.

Lockport officials have created a two-year forecast plan that maps out their goals.

The plan will allow residents and community stakeholders to “visualize what the city is planning for over the next two years.”

Top priorities include downtown renovations, regional promotion and economic vitality. The city also plans to improve communication within Lockport through platforms

such as the city’s website.

A better website can also attract economic development, Streit said.

“When developers roll through town, the first thing they do is go to the website, they want to get the information they’re looking for,” he said.

“They want the demographics.

They want to know the number of people in this city.”

The city also plans to complete road, water and sewer projects, which, Streit said, are a challenge because Lockport has upward of $60 million in infrastructure problems.

Third Ward Alderman Darren Deskin said he thought Streit projected a positive message for the city’s residents.

“I grew up here in Lockport,” he said. “I remember the sleepy little town, and up until literally a year ago this is the first City Council that is actually looking into the future instead of dwelling in the past.”

LOCAL BRIEF Muskrat traps go missing in Lakewood Falls area PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP – The muskrats rambled free thanks to thieves in the Lakewood Falls subdivision.

A rodent trapper hired through

the Lakewood Falls homeowners association set muskrat traps April 9 near the north retention pond, Will County Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said Wednesday.

“He returned the next morning

to find nine of them had been stolen,” Hoffmeyer said.

Police had no information on who might have taken them. The traps have an estimated value of $20 each.

Kate McClintock (left), 12, Kate Green, 13, and Lilly Bond, 13, look at their smartphones on April 3 at Lilly’s home in Evanston. The friends are seventh-graders at Haven Middle School in Evanston, which has been at the center of a controversy over its dress code.

Dress code limits an issue for schools

By MARTHA IRVINE The Associated Press EVANSTON – They’re called leggings – popular fashion items that are tight-fitting pants to some, and glorified tights to others.

Younger girls often wear them as pants with little fuss. But as those same girls approach middle school, leggings have become a clothing accessory that’s increasingly controversial – and seemingly, the favorite new target of the school dress code.

Some schools have banned leggings outright.

Others have set limits. Haven Middle School in Evanston, just north of Chicago, took what turned out to be a contentious stand: If you wear leggings, you need to have a shirt or skirt over them that reaches at least down to your fingertips.

In other words, girls need to cover their behinds.

It might seem a reasonable enough request at a time when school dress codes – and even school uniforms – are common and often supported by teachers and administrators who frequently complain about students who push the limits of good taste, and the parents who let them (and may even push those limits themselves).

But how far is too far?

And do schools sometimes go too far in pushing back?

Judges have tended to side with schools when safety is a concern. For example, a federal court agreed with a school district in Morgan Hill, Calif., after some high school students were told not to wear American flag T-shirts on the Mexican holiday of Cinco de Mayo in 2010. The worry was that the shirts would incite conflict with the school’s many Hispanic students.

When safety isn’t at issue, says Perry Zirkel, a professor of education and law at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, the courts tend to throw the cases back to the schools and parents, so they can come up with solutions together.

It’s not always easy, since many people have a different notion of what’s appropriate and what’s not – and what’s distracting and what’s not.

At Haven Middle School, there has been a lot of confusion. Just a few weeks ago, the school’s own website said leggings were banned, when apparently they were not, school officials now say.

The discussions at school meetings have sometimes bordered on silly. But few disagree that there are serious issues at hand here – among them, whether girls are being shamed and unnecessarily embarrassed at a time when they’re already starting to feel more aware of their changing bodies.

Chicago casino plan draws more support at hearing

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – A proposal for a state-owned Chicago casino won praise Wednesday from business groups and a warmer reception from a state regulatory board than past attempts to expand gambling, but the plan also drew criticism from downstate officials and the horse racing industry, who said it would cheat them out of needed revenues and jobs.

The hearing in Chicago, which wasn’t heated like public exchanges in other parts of Illinois, was the latest attempt to bolster gambling, but questions were also raised about support for the legislation in an election year where other major fiscal issues are pending. Previous bills approved by legislators were twice rejected

by Gov. Pat Quinn largely over ethical concerns about corruption, and last year’s bill calling for five casinos fizzled out af-

ter the Illinois Gaming Board scrutinized plans that would have allowed Chicago to have authority over a casino.

State Rep. Bob Rita, a Blue Island Democrat sponsoring the plans, said he wanted to gauge interest in a Chicago-only plan and give lawmakers options. Two proposals are on the table: One adds five casinos, including in Chicago, plus slots at racetracks. The other calls for a mega-casino in Chicago. In both plans, the Chicago casino would be state run, which Rita said was in response to past criticism.

Though neither Quinn nor Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel have weighed in recently, the board that regulates Illinois’ 10 existing casinos highlighted the changes.

“There are certainly improvements,” gaming board attorney Caleb Melamed told lawmakers. “This is a significantly different piece of legislation than previous years.”

“Casino gambling is really nothing more than an increased tax on those who can’t afford it.”

Matt Fitzgerald Senior pastor at St. Pauls United Church of Christ in Chicago He voiced other concerns about the potential of saturating the market with other Chicago-area casinos. He also questioned a state-run casino, a model that’s unusual among other states. The Chicago Crime Commission objected to the structure, calling for an operator-owned model like other casinos and more protections against corruption. Chicagoarea pastors and anti-gambling groups also warned lawmakers of possible social costs on either plan, such as more people hooked on gambling.

“Casino gambling is real-

ly nothing more than an increased tax on those who can’t afford it,” said Matt Fitzgerald, senior pastor at St. Pauls United Church of Christ in Chicago.

Noticeably absent from Wednesday’s hearing were Chicago city officials, even while chamber of commerce groups said a downtown Chicago casino – in either plan – would create jobs and benefit the economy with estimated revenues between $450 million to $950 million. The Chicagoland Chamber of Commerce and urban planners envisioned a Chicago casino as a draw for tourists and locals, with shopping and live shows. They said possible locations included the Congress Plaza Hotel, the top floors of a downtown Macy’s department store or the James R. Thompson Center, which a state building.

“Chicago is an incredible prize for the gaming industry,” said Kim Goluska, president of Chicago Consultants Studio

Inc. “The revenues are going to be huge no matter what they are.”

Still, Emanuel spokeswoman Sarah Hamilton said the mayor wouldn’t address expanded gambling until the city solved its pension problem. State lawmakers have approved a partial fix to Chicago’s pension problem, but Quinn hasn’t indicated if he’ll sign it. Quinn’s spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said the Chicago Democrat hadn’t seen the two gambling expansion plans.

Rita said he hadn’t spoken to either Quinn or Emanuel about the proposals, but wanted to call his legislation for a vote before the end of May. He’s said that the political climate in Springfield could be more favorable than last year, when lawmakers were considering plans to address the pension system, which is the worst-funded in the nation.

Quinn has since signed a pension law.

increase expires later next year.

Sara Howe is a spokeswoman for the Illinois Alcoholism and Drug Dependence Association.

She tells the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers that the potential budget cuts come at a time when heroin use is increasing in Illinois.

State Rep. Lou Lang has started a task force to look at legislative ways to help treatment systems.

He says decreased investment in prevention and treatment has “come back to haunt us.”

Alan Sender is chief operating officer for Chestnut Health Systems in Bloomington. He says some providers won’t survive the cuts.

Gov. Pat Quinn wants to make the tax increase permanent before it expires on Jan. 1.

STATE BRIEFS Illinois strip club tax brings in less revenue SPRINGFIELD – Illinois officials say a strip club tax has generated less than 40 percent of the money that was expected when the surcharge was approved.

The “pole tax” raised about $380,000 in 2013 – far less than the $1 million predicted when the measure passed the General Assembly in 2012, according to a report by the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers.

Strip clubs can pay a $3 tax for every customer or an annual fee that ranges from $5,000 to $25,000 based on sales. All the money raised by the tax is earmarked for rape crisis centers.

Polly Poskin, executive director of the Illinois Coalition Against Sexual Assault, attributed the lower-than-expected revenue to the fact that the requirement only applies to strip clubs that sell or allow alcohol. Chicago bans alcohol at its strip clubs.

Sue Hofer, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Revenue, says 37 companies paid the tax.

The Illinois Department of Human Services will distribute the money beginning this summer.

Marathon organizers confident of safe race

By BOB SALSBERG The Associated Press BOSTON – The arrest of a man with a rice cooker in his backpack near the Boston Marathon finish line led police to step up patrols Wednesday, while organizers sought to assure the city and runners of a safe race next week.

The actions of the man, whose mother said he had a mental disorder, rattled nerves as Boston prepared for the annual race, but authorities said they did not consider it a security breach. Officials also expressed confidence in heightened security measures for Monday’s event while acknowledging the challenge of protecting an estimated 1 million spectators and 36,000 runners across 26.2 miles and eight Massachusetts communities.

Security plans include thousands of uniformed police, hundreds of plainclothes officers and about 100 strategically positioned video cameras that will monitor the crowds.

Police also strongly discouraged spectators from bringing backpacks.

“I believe this will be the safest place on the planet on April 21,” said Dave McGillivray, the longtime race director for the Boston Athletic Association.

Boston police detonated the suspicious backpack Tuesday night, along with a second

backpack that was later found to have been left behind by a journalist covering the day’s remembrances, Police Commissioner William Evans said.

Neither bag was determined to have explosives.

The 25-year-old suspect, Kevin “Kayvon” Edson, was arraigned Wednesday on several charges including threatening battery and possession of a hoax device. Bail was set at $100,000 and a judge ordered that Edson be evaluated at a state psychiatric hospital.

Evans said that Boylston Street, where the finish line is located and where twin bombs killed three people and injured more than 260 others last year, was not in lockdown when Edson walked down the street barefoot in the pouring rain, wearing a black veil and paint on his face. Along with the rice cooker, a robot mask was also found in the backpack, officials said.

“That individual, like anyone, had the right to basically walk up the street,” Evans said. Because he was acting suspiciously, however, police quickly intervened, he said.

According to a police report read aloud in court Wednesday, Edson told an officer: “I knew what I was doing, it was conceived in my head. It’s symbolism, come on. The performance got the best of me.”

Joie Edson said her son had battled bipolar disorder for

His lawyer, public defender Shannon Lopez, said he was diagnosed with mental illness at 19 and that a doctor said Edson showed signs of being off his medication recently.

The finish line will not be closed to the public until the morning of the race, Evans said, but police planned to increase visibility in the area over the next several days.

In seeking to discourage spectators from bringing back-

packs, police said those carrying them are likely to have them searched.

“This year, we can all understand that someone is going to feel anxious, nervous, to stand next to someone with a backpack,” said Kurt Schwartz, the state’s undersecretary of public safety. “Why do that this year?”

Spectators were advised to tell a police officer or call 911 if they see anything they consider suspicious along the route.

Evans said undercover officers with special training will be working the crowds looking for suspicious packages or anyone “who might be up to no good.” He also said police plan to limit the size of the crowds on Boylston Street, and if they appear to be getting too large, people will be asked to move to other locations to view the race. But he added that police do not want to create undue anxiety, either.

“We are not going to scare people and make it look like it’s an armed camp,” he said.

The bombs at last year’s marathon were made from pressure cookers hidden in backpacks, authorities said.

Lawyers for the surviving bombing suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, were in federal court on Wednesday arguing that the government should not be allowed to monitor prison visits from the defendant’s two sisters.

Some exempted from minimum wage, increased or not

By ALAN FRAM The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Some low-paid workers won’t benefit even if a long-shot Democratic proposal to raise the federal minimum wage becomes law.

More than a dozen categories of jobs are exempt from the minimum, currently $7.25 an hour. Those exclusions, rooted in labor law history, run from some workers with disabilities

to crews on fishing ships to casual baby sitters.

Legislation sponsored by Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, would gradually raise the minimum to $10.10 by 2016. The Congressional Budget Office estimates it would mean higher earnings for 16.5 million workers – but also would cost 500,000 others their jobs.

Harkin’s measure wouldn’t eliminate exemptions, including for live-in companions for

the elderly, staffs of state and local elected officials and jobs at summer camps and seasonal amusement parks.

The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics says nearly 1.8 million hourly workers were paid below $7.25 last year – about 2 percent of the 76 million Americans earning hourly wages. An additional 1.5 million earned exactly $7.25.

Some earning under that amount are covered by lower

requirements. In one major category, wages for tipped employees such as waiters can be as low as $2.13 hourly, as long as their pay reaches the overall federal minimum when tips are included.

Harkin’s measure would gradually raise the minimum for tipped workers to 70 percent of the minimum for most workers.

Asked why he wasn’t eliminating more exemptions, Har-

kin said, “I’m having a hard enough time getting votes for the minimum wage” by itself.

According to the statistics bureau, most people earning under $7.25 – nearly 1.1 million – work in food services and drinking establishments.

The bureau and the Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division said they had no figures on how many workers were illegally paid less than $7.25.

Pro-Russian activists make barricades in front of the gate of an airport in Kramatorsk, eastern Ukraine, Tuesday. In the first Ukrainian military action against a pro-Russian uprising in the east, government forces clashed Tuesday with about 30 armed gunmen at a small airport in Kramatorsk.

Ukraine gov’t troops vie against eastern uprising

By PETER LEONARD and YURAS KARMANAU The Associated Press KRAMATORSK, Ukraine – In the first Ukrainian military action against a pro-Russian uprising in the east, government forces repelled an attack Tuesday by about 30 gunmen at an airport, beginning what the president called an “anti-terrorist operation” to try to restore authority over the restive region.

The central government has so far been unable to rein in the insurgents, who it says are being stirred up by paid operatives from Russia and have seized numerous government facilities in at least nine eastern cities to press their demands for broader autonomy and closer ties with Russia. Complicating the political landscape, many local security forces have switched to their side.

The clashes Tuesday came at Kramatorsk airport, just south of the city of Slovyansk, which has come under the increasing control of the pro-Russian gunmen who seized it last weekend.

The precise sequence of events was mired in confusion amid contradictory official claims.

The commander of the Ukrainian operation, Gen. Vasyl Krutov, speaking outside Kramatorsk airport, said his men managed to thwart an attack by fighters in green military uniforms without insignia who tried to storm the facility in the late afternoon.

An Associated Press reporter and camera crew heard rounds of gunfire at the time.

After the armed standoff, hundreds of local people surrounded the airport in response to rumors that government troops were planning to launch a military operation on the city of Kramatorsk itself. Some in the crowd attempted to enter the military facility, prompting Ukrainian troops to fire bursts of warning shots.

In an attempt to defuse the situation, Gen. Krutov came out to speak to the angry protesters but was attacked by them. After a tussle in which his hat was knocked to the ground, he managed to take refuge in the airport.

There were conflicting re-

ports of casualties.

Yury Zhadobin, coordinator of a pro-Russian defense force, said two people were slightly injured and were taken to a hospital. Russian media, without sourcing, claimed anywhere from four to 11 casualties at the airport. Ukraine’s government said there were no casualties, adding that Ukrainian forces took an unspecified number of militiamen prisoner.

While Krutov spoke of repelling an attack, the new government in Kiev declared that its forces had recaptured the airport from militiamen.

BEIJING – Since Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 went missing, some lawyers have claimed they can get several millions of dollars in damages for each lost passenger by taking the cases to the United States. But past lawsuits show U.S. federal courts are more likely to throw such cases out if the crashes happened overseas.

Major disasters draw lawyers looking to sign up clients for big lawsuits, and the missing Malaysian plane, which was carrying mostly Chinese passengers, has been no exception. Lawyers from various firms have descended on a Beijing hotel where relatives of the passengers have been staying, and have even traveled around China to visit them in their homes.

The Chinese relatives have said their main focus remains on the search for the plane, so lawyers have had little luck so far in signing up clients here, despite dangling the potential of major damage awards.

“This is not the right point in time to discuss legal matters because nothing has been found yet and everybody has no idea what exactly happened to the plane,” said Steve Wang, a representative of some of the Chinese relatives.

Relatives can expect to get at least about $175,000 from Malaysia Airlines for each lost passenger under terms of the Montreal Convention, an international treaty governing air travel compensation. The relatives can also sue the carrier in Malaysia or their home countries for further damages.

Chinese citizens made up two-thirds of the 227 passengers aboard Flight 370, which disappeared March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing. Searchers looking in a stretch of the southern Indian Ocean have yet to find any debris from the plane.

Malaysia Airlines said in an email that it was focused on helping the families of the passengers and 12 crew members, and that “other matters will be dealt with appropriately.”

Some lawyers have argued that the families could still sue in America if they alleged the plane’s U.S. manufacturer, the Boeing Co., was somehow responsible for the disaster.

But such lawsuits are likely to be rejected if they’re filed in the United States because federal courts there have dismissed many similar foreign air crash cases, especially if most of the plaintiffs are not American.

The courts have tossed out lawsuits against U.S. parts makers in connection with the 2009 crash of Air France Flight 447 in the Atlantic Ocean. They also dismissed lawsuits against Boeing in the 2008 Spanair flight that crashed on takeoff in Madrid and the 2005 Helios Airways flight that crashed near Athens, Greece, when a loss of cabin pressure caused the people on board to lose consciousness.

The U.S. courts have ruled that it would be more convenient for the claims to be heard by a court in the country where the crash happened or where the investigation is taking place, making it easier to obtain witnesses and evidence.

MOKPO, South Korea – Koo Bon-hee could see the exit. For half an hour, as the doomed ferry filled with water and listed severely on its side, the crew told passengers to wait for rescuers.

With their breathing room disappearing, the 36-year-old businessman and some of the other passengers floated to an exit and swam to a nearby fishing boat. But 287 of the 475 people aboard – many of them high school students on a class trip – were still missing after the ferry sank Wednesday off the southern coast of South Korea. Nine were confirmed dead and 55 were injured.

Early Thursday, divers, helicopters and boats continued to search for survivors from the ferry, which slipped beneath the surface until only the blue-tipped, forward edge of the keel was visible. The high number of people unaccounted for – possibly trapped in the ship or floating nearby – raised fears that the death toll could increase drastically.

It was still unknown why the ferry sank, and the coast guard was interviewing the captain and crew. The Sewol, a 480-foot vessel that can hold more than 900 people, set sail Tuesday from Incheon, in northwestern South Korea, on an overnight, 14-hour journey

to the tourist island of Jeju.

About 9 a.m. Wednesday, when it was three hours from Jeju, the ferry sent a distress call after it began listing to one side, according to the Ministry of Security and Public Administration.

Passenger Kim Seong-mok told broadcaster YTN that after having breakfast, he felt the ferry tilt and then heard it crash into something. He said an announcement told passengers to not move from their places and that he never heard another about evacuating.

He said he was certain many people were trapped inside the ferry as water rushed in and the severe tilt kept them from reaching the exits.

Koo also complained about the crew’s efforts during the initial stages of the disaster, saying early misjudgments may account for the large number of missing.

In addition to the order not to evacuate immediately, Koo said many people were trapped inside by windows that were too hard to break.

“The rescue wasn’t done well. We were wearing life jackets. We had time,” Koo, who was on a business trip, said from a hospital bed in Mokpo, the nearest major city to the site of the accident, where he was treated for minor injuries. “If people had jumped into the water ... they could have been rescued. But we were told not to go out.”

OUR VIEW

Eliminating money secrets When it comes to public money, nothing should be kept a secret.

That’s not always the case, obviously, so we applaud state Rep. Renee Kosel and the Illinois House for passing legislation that promotes more transparency in government.

House Bill 3664 amends the Illinois Freedom of Information Act to forbid any public body from imposing confidentiality as a condition of receiving any severance agreement funded in part or in whole with public money.

There is an exception to protect a trade secret, proprietary information or information that is otherwise exempt from disclosure under FOIA. Kosel, R-New Lenox, filed the bill in response to Metra’s refusal last year to reveal details about the generous severance package – projected up to $718,000 – it gave to former CEO Alex Clifford.

Lawmakers in the House last week passed the bill unanimously, 106-0.

This bill is the latest step in shining light for the public on severance agreements and employment contracts for public employees. For years, many public bodies would try to keep private employment contracts or separation agreements.

We’re not sure why government continues to try and keep taxpayers in the dark regarding public money and public business. We are happy, however, that lawmakers have taken notice and are working toward better transparency in government.

House Bill 3664 has moved to the state Senate, where Sen. Pam Althoff, R-McHenry, is the sponsor.

We hope lawmakers in the Senate follow the lead of their colleagues in the House and pass this bill.

Enforcing Islamic law at Brandeis University When Brandeis University withdrew an honorary degree for Ayaan Hirsi Ali after a student-professor firestorm branded her an “Islamophobe,” the campus in effect declared itself an outpost of Islamic law, American-style. Officially, Brandeis is now a place where critics of Islam – “blasphemers” and “apostates,” according to Islamic law – are scorned and rejected.

Not that Brandeis put it that way in its unsigned announcement about Hirsi Ali’s dis-invitation, which notes: “She is a compelling public figure and advocate for women’s rights, and we respect and appreciate her work to protect and defend the rights of women and girls throughout the world. That said, we cannot overlook ... her past statements that are inconsistent with Brandeis University’s core values.”

Translation: Hirsi Ali’s advocacy

VIEWS Diana West on behalf of brutalized women is good, but her “past statements” – advocacy that connects such violence to Islamic teachings – are bad, or, in faddish twaddle, “Islamophobia.” As a dhimmi (non-Muslims under Islamic law) institution, Brandeis cannot possibly honor the infidel.

Islamic blasphemy laws sanction the death penalty for exactly the kind of criticism of Islam that ex-Muslim Hirsi Ali has engaged in: hence, the innumerable death threats she has received for over a decade; and hence, the ritual Islamic slaughter of Hirsi Ali’s co-producer, Theo van Gogh, for “Submission,” their short film about specifically Islamic violence

and repression of women. In the U.S. (so far), punishment for such “transgressions” against Islam usually resembles an aggressive form of blackballing.

There are horrifying exceptions, however, including the decision to prosecute and incarcerate Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, producer of “Innocence of Muslims,” for “parole violations.” To be sure, when it comes to participating in the 21st-century public square – in this case, donning academic robes and making valedictory remarks – “Islamophobes” need not apply.

This has long been the case. But we have reached a new nadir when a courageous figure of Hirsi Ali’s stature is publicly lashed for expressing herself about the perils that Islamic teachings pose to women’s

School is not protecting ‘core values’ • WEST Continued from page 18 rights, and, more generally, human rights. Brandeis, however, deems such opinions “hate speech” – exactly the phrase used in an online student petition against Hirsi Ali. After all, name-calling is so much simpler than having to mount an argument.

And so much more effective as a political weapon.

In our post-Orwellian time, “hate speech” means publicly reviled speech. A “hate-speaker” thus becomes fair game for public humiliation – exactly what Brandeis chose to inflict on Hirsi Ali. The humiliation, however, is Brandeis’ alone.

For what “core values” is Brandeis protecting? Denial. Orthodoxy. Cant. Lori Lowenthal Marcus, writing in The Jewish Press, excerpted Facebook comments

professors signed. “We stressed that we recognize the harm of female genital cutting, forced marriages, and honor killings, but that this selection obscures the violence against women that happens among non-Muslims, including on our own campus,” Brooten wrote.

“I recognize the harm of gendered violence wherever it occurs, and I applaud the hard, effective work of many Muslims who are working to oppose it in their own communities.”

Whether Brandeis counts as a hotbed of “gendered violence” aside (let alone the predominantly Islamic phenomena of female genital mutilation, forced marriages and honor killings), Brooten has underscored the source of animus against Hirsi Ali. Her “selection” for university honors “obscures” non-Muslim violence against women, Brooten writes, but what I think disturbs the professors more is what Hirsi Ali has done – what her whole life experience signifies – to highlight the violence against women and

children that is legitimized and inspired by specifically and authoritatively Islamic sources. Thanks in part to Brandeis, such sources are increasingly relegated to the list of post-9/11 taboos.

Never say Islam has anything to do with terrorism. Don’t ever, ever draw a cartoon of Mohammed.

Oppose “gendered violence” (there’s no such thing as Islamic-rooted violence against women). Ostracize or humiliate “apostates” like Hirsi Ali (at least until real Islamic apostasy law becomes applicable here). In other words, protect, coddle and swathe Islam from the barbs and scrutiny that all other religions receive – or else. Or else what? Citizens might decide to halt Islamic immigration or “refugee resettlement” because it brings Islamic law to the West.

Then again, those laws are already here – and in force at Brandeis.

To the Editor: My sincere congratulations and thanks to state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant and Reps.

Natalie Manley and Tom Cross for their hard work in helping to shepherd HB 5993 through the General Assembly. Their swift action to address the concerns of the public, and close cooperation on developing the draft language, shows how government can respond quickly and decisively when both parties work together.

As HB 5593 works its way through the Senate, I would now ask them and other nearby legislators to turn their attention to another area of wide citizen interest in Plainfield, the enacting of term limits on park district commissioners.

It is truly a rare event to see

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 2, JOLIET WEST 1 (25-19, 15-25, 25-22)

Sophomore grabs match-high 23 kills to lead Hilltoppers

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 17, 2014

JOLIET – Finding out how well a young squad deals with adversity is one of the challenges that faces Joliet Catholic boys volleyball coach Rhyen Staley this season.

The Hilltoppers faced just such a situation in Wednesday’s match against crosstown opponent Joliet West, and Staley was pleased with the result.

JCA bounced back from a tough middle set to grab the advantage in the finale and maintained it as it captured a 25-19, 15-25, 25-22 thriller on the west side.

Leading the way for the Hilltoppers (9-3) was sophomore outside hitter Blake Reardon, who collected 11 of his match-high 23 kills during the third set.

“One of the messages that we kept talking about the entire match was that we had to play point-for-point, and we did a much better job of that in Game 3,” Staley said. “West made some great plays but our guys still worked hard to finish. With a group that’s really young, there’s a lot of good stuff happening, even though there’s more to work on.

“We work really hard in the classroom and feel that it’s really important to our success. They utilized the scouting report enough tonight to be successful. And Blake is really swinging like a big-time junior or senior, and in order to be a high-tier program you have to have at least one of those guys.”

Things were looking good for JCA after it grabbed a 2116 lead in the final set but the Tigers (9-4) used a pair of kills from Brian Lyman (11 kills) and two hitting errors to close to within 21-20.

But Reardon answered with a kill, and two West hitting errors sandwiched by a kill from Chandler Kow-

“I think that I can get smarter with my hits. I’m doing good but I can do a lot better at it,” Reardon said. “Everybody played really good and we performed exactly how we’ve been working on things in practice. I’m really proud of everyone on our team. The way that we’re playing really gives hope for how good we can be the next two years.”

Things were tight midway through the middle set when West rattled off 14 of the final 18 points to force a decisive third set.

Luke VanEck (10 kills) supplied three kills during that run while Brett Tacchia (five kills) and Lyman each added blocks to lead the Tigers comeback.

In the opener, JCA led 14-13 following a block by Tacchia but following a wide serve, the Hilltoppers used two hitting

errors, a kill by Reardon and a block from Aron Goeken (34 assists, three aces) to compliment Kowaliczko’s serving to grab a 20-14 lead.

The Hilltoppers also received 18 digs from Tony Allen while West got 11 digs from Kyler VanRossum-O’Connell and setter Noah Slowik handed out 24 assists.

While Tigers coach Jason Herrmann was proud of the way that Slowik performed and with how hard his squad fought in their comeback efforts, he was disappointed in the fashion that things started off in each set.

“We didn’t come out ready to play or defend the home court in game one and JCA took a game away from us,” Herrmann said. “In Game 2, we played the way that we can and played hard and had a big statement game. But then we had to keep that momentum up in Game 3 and we had another slow start.”

SIGNING FOR THE FUTURE Joliet C.’s Coble signs with St. Joseph Perhaps by accident, JCA’s Jones bound for Pitt

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

By DICK GOSS JOLIET – Time was passing, and Jonah Coble was getting anxious.

However, the Joliet Central senior guard had not yet made his visit to Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Ind. Once he did, he knew where he wanted to spend the next four years.

Coble signed a National Letter of Intent with NCAA Division II St. Joseph’s on Wednesday. He will be on full scholarship and competing against Lewis, among others, in the Great Lakes Valley Conference, often considered the best Division II league in the country.

“When I visited, they had me do some playing,” Coble said of his visit. “After 10 minutes, they said they wanted me.”

Coble averaged 15 points and 4.4 rebounds as a senior and was a Herald-News All-Area selection. It was an ideal finish to a high school career Central coach Jeff Corcoran described as a bit of a bumpy road.

“Jonah developed as a young man, as a basketball player and a student over the last four years,” Corcoran said. “He had some Division I interest as a junior, but I think St. Joseph’s is a good fit for him. It’s the best spot for him to continue growing as a basketball player.”

“It’s not too far from home, either,” Coble noted. “About an hour and a half. So friends who have supported me here can get there and see me play.”

Southern Indiana and Missouri-St. Louis were other GLVC schools that showed interest.

The 6-foot-1 Coble played three years on the varsity team and Corcoran said from a talent standpoint, he could have come up as a freshman. He is an explosive scorer who can shoot the 3-pointer and can score taking the ball to the basket.

Joliet Central’s Jonah Coble goes up for a shot during a game against Joliet West on Feb. 21. Coble signed a N with Saint Joseph’s College in Rensselaer, Ind.

“Jonah developed as a young man, as a basketball player and a student over the last four years. He had some Division I interest as a junior, but I think St. Joseph’s is a good it for him. It’s the best spot for him to continue growing as a basketball player.”

Jeff Corcoran Joliet Central basketball coach St. Joseph’s coach Tom Church said he envisions Coble playing the shooting guard, with the potential to slide over to the point when needed. St. Joseph’s finished 4-24 this, so Coble will have an opportunity to help lead the program’s revival.

“[Church] didn’t say I would start right off, but he told me I could get a lot of minutes if I work hard and play smart,” Coble said. “I know I still have to hit the weight room.”

Coble plans to major in business.

JOLIET – It may have been an accident, but it could not have worked out better.

Joliet Catholic Herald-News All-Area wide receiver/tight end Jordan Jones was among seven of the school’s best athletes who were honored at Wednesday’s National Letter of Intent signing day celebration.

He is receiving a full academic scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh and will play football for the Panthers in the Atlantic Coast Conference.

He revealed afterward that while many of his football buddies signed their letters a couple of months ago, he was sure then that he would be walking on at Illinois.

Academics matter with Jones, an outstanding student who said he will major in supply chain management.

His mom, Nicole Scales, told him Penn has an outstanding business school and he should apply there.

“She still thinks she said Penn, but I’m sure she said Pitt,” Jones said with a laugh.

“I applied to Pitt and got the letter from them that I was being offered a full academic scholarship, I was excited.

“I sent football highlight tapes there, and they really liked what they saw.” “(Head coach) Paul Chryst and the coaches at Pitt love him,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said.

Jones said the Panthers’ staff talked about him playing a tight end/wide receiver hybrid position. “They said there is one guy ahead of me playing that position right now,” he said.

Whether his mom said Penn or Pitt no longer matters.

Jones is getting his academics paid and will be competing for a high-level NCAA Division I program.

Sharp looked at Jordan, who averaged 21 yards a reception for the Hilltoppers, and said, “We haven’t had many better than you through the years. You made sensational

“You are the standard all other future Hillmen will want to live up to.”

Dan Sharp JCA football coach said to Jordan Jones catches and would have made more if we had thrown the ball more often.

“You are the standard all other future Hillmen will want to live up to.”

The others signing Wednesday included volleyball players Julia Shemaitis with NCAA Division II Fairmont State (W. Va.) and Miranda Rodriguez with Division II Quincy; soccer standout Tom Paige with Division III St. Mary’s (Minn.); pitcher Brady Kostecki with NAIA Roosevelt; basketball player Christina Ekhomu with NAIA St. Francis; and track sprinter Alex Legg with Division II Converse College (S.C.).

Girls volleyball coach Chris Scheibe said outside hitter Shemaitis and setter Rodriguez: “are epitome of two girls loving volleyball. I remember them coming to my camp when they were fifth-graders and thinking they would make an impact in our program. They did.”

Boys soccer coach Tom Cranmer noted that Paige was involved in more than half the goals the Hilltoppers scored last fall, “even though he battled through injuries.”

Baseball coach Jared Voss said Roosevelt “is getting a real gem in Brady (Kostecki). The sky’s the limit for him.”

Girls basketball coach Ed Schodrof, whose team finished second in the state in Class 3A, called Ekhomu “the consummate leader for us. She is the best leader we have had in my six years here.”

Legg also played basketball, and Schodrof said, “Alex fought through about 17 injuries this year. She was a team player.”

Girls track sprint coach Eric McCants said passion best describes Legg.

For Versteeg, it’s déjà vu (plus a ’do) Bulls fall in final

* The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

• Thursday, April 17, 2014

BOBCATS 91, BULLS 86 (OT)

Blackhawks’ Kris Versteeg plays against the Blue Jackets during a game April 4 in Columbus. After winning the Stanley Cup with the Hawks in 2010, Versteeg is back and ready to take on the St. Louis Blues on Thursday in the first round of the playoffs.

VIEWS Tom Musick CHICAGO – Kris Versteeg unveiled a new haircut Wednesday.

The Blackhawks’ winger had his hair closely shaved along the sides and in the back.

On top of his head, a patch of floppy blonde hair remained.

“I call it the ‘Stigglemore,’ ” Versteeg said. “It’s a mix between myself, Macklemore and a little bit of anything else in between. So, it’s got a lot going on here.”

Lord Stanley, meet Stigglemore. Stigglemore, meet Lord Stanley.

If anyone can balance crazy hair with a seriously effective playoff performance, it’s Versteeg. He might be the most grateful player on the ice Thursday when the Hawks visit the St. Louis Blues for Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

Because Versteeg, 27, never thought he would be in this spot with this team again.

He was part of the Hawks’ Stanley Cup championship team in 2010, only to be traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs three weeks later as part of a salary-cap dump.

In the three seasons that followed, Versteeg bounced from the Maple Leafs to the Philadelphia Flyers, and then from the Flyers to the Florida Panthers. His journey came full circle in mid-November when the Hawks reacquired him from the Panthers in exchange for young players Jimmy Hayes and Dylan Olsen.

Now that Versteeg is back with the Hawks, he’s taking nothing for granted.

“I know probably better than anyone that you never know when you might get traded and how much time you might have [with a team],” said Versteeg, who has scored 102 career goals in seven seasons. “So you’ve got to make it always count.

“Stuff can happen so fast, and you’ve really got to take care of your body and understand that every time you pull over an NHL sweater, no

AP photo

matter where it is, that it’s special. And especially when you come back to somewhere like here, it makes it that much more special, really.”

Versteeg can come across as a bit Hollywood at times, which should not surprise anyone who saw his rap celebration on stage at the 2010 Stanley Cup celebration.

But the past few months have shown that he can be a selfless teammate and a versatile player who can play on any line and serve almost any role necessary.

On Wednesday, Versteeg practiced alongside Jonathan Toews and Brandon Saad.

After rejoining the Hawks, he notched 10 goals with 19 assists in 63 games. “[He’s] been with us and understands what it takes, obviously,” Hawks general manager Stan Bowman said after the deal. “He’s been through the grind of a playoff and he understands the sacrifices you have to make as a player. …

“Here, he has the ability to move around in our lineup, and I think that flexibility is something that gives the coaching staff a lot of options.”

Versteeg’s teammates appreciate his influence on and off the ice.

“He’s been a great guy in

the locker room since he’s joined our team again,” Hawks forward Patrick Sharp said.

“It feels like he’s never left. I know he’s comfortable here in Chicago and he played some of his best hockey in 2010 in the playoffs, so hopefully he can do that again this year.”

Sharp’s memory proved to be, well, sharp.

In the Hawks’ championship run four years ago, Versteeg scored three goals against the Vancouver Canucks, one goal against the San Jose Sharks and two goals against the Flyers. He finished the playoffs with 14 points and a plus-4 rating in 22 games.

Versteeg was a kid back then, a 23-year-old who had no idea what would come next.

“Last time was definitely a blur,” Versteeg said. “You remember bits and pieces, and you’ve got to kind of watch stuff to really remember it because you were so young and it went so fast.”

This time, Versteeg has greater perspective.

Not to mention a Stigglemore.

regular season game

By STEVE REED The Associated Press CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Kemba Walker scored eight of his 22 points in overtime to help the Charlotte Bobcats defeat the Bulls, 91-86, on Wednesday and finish the season with eight wins in their final nine games.

The Bulls will host Washington in the first round of the playoffs as the fourth seed.

Josh McRoberts made a key play in overtime, blocking D.J. Augustin's 3-point attempt. Walker grabbed the loose ball and raced the length of the court for a layup that gave the Bobcats an 88-81 lead with 1 minute left.

Joakim Noah finished with 14 points and 13 rebounds for the Bulls, Carlos

Boozer added 14 points and 11 rebounds, and Augustin scored 17 points. The Bulls entered the game having won eight of their last nine.

They are locked into the fourth seed in the Eastern Conference and will play either Brooklyn or Washington in the first round.

The Bulls came in having won 10 of their last 11 against the Bobcats, including five straight in Charlotte by an average of 22 points per game.

And it looked early on like this would be another road blowout.

The Bobcats (43-39) started the game cold, missing 21 of their first 29 shots from the field to fall behind 33-23. But Jefferson hit a short jumper and the Bobcats made 11 straight shots to take 43-37 lead at halftime.

‘Slingshot against the world’ Homer Glen man writes book reflecting on what God wanted from him

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

Spiritual insights

dunland@shawmedia.com “Dreamality” by Shawn Bosi, 41, of Homer Glen, is not a typical devotional.

Between its pages, Bosi recounts frank stories of the successes and failures of his business, love relationships, the mafia, living in Homer Glen and Hawaii, health woes and serving prison time.

And Bosi tells those stories in prose that merges dreamlike imagery with fact.

Yet, amidst all the unusual anecdotes and experiences that Bosi believes are signs from heaven, he makes one point clear: that he believes angels are real guiding spirits and that God sets the path for everyone’s lives according to certain principles.

“Truth, honor, valor, courage,” Bosi said. “These depict human beings the way God, I believe, made us to be.”

Bosi knew he wasn’t living according to God’s plan for his life. His spiritual awakening began when an ex-girlfriend – who is alive – appeared to him in a vision as an angel and delivered a firm kick below Bosi’s belt.

It made Bosi reflect on what God wanted from him.

“It was a blessing,” Bosi said. “It made me want to write about it.”

Bosi feels many people

BELOW: In his first book, Bosi covers his journey about accepting God’s plan.

today are confused about where to find permanent joy and satisfaction. He hopes

readers, once they read about his experiences, will feel empowered to make lasting changes in their lives, too.

He likens the 21st century to Noah’s time and is glad God promised, with a rainbow, to never again flood the earth. To support his viewpoint, Bosi points to the high rates of unemployment, foreclosure and divorce; the polluted Earth; and the many children growing up in single-parent homes.

“Everyone wants happiness,” Bosi said, “but we’re going about it backwards.”

As Bosi released attitudes and people in his life that hindered developing a strong relationship with God, he realized that God would not abandon him in his new beliefs; rather, God would provide new attitudes and companions for the journey.

Moreover, Bosi began resisting temptation.

“When you’ve found Christ, you’ll learn to say, ‘I don’t feel that way anymore,’ ” Bosi wrote in “Dreamality.”

Because Bosi had never written a book, he asked God to guide each word. Eventu-

Some of the spiritual insights Bosi wrote in “Dreamality” include: • “I must learn to do things at the pace set by the Lord.”

• “It appears people who do not fear God have a greater ability to walk through this life with no conscience.”

• “My direction was very clear.

My director was God.” • “I found that a bit of prayer or just anything religious used in my day helps me. I try so hard to follow the ways of the Lord. I guess being a sinner is common and I am not alone.”

• “I went on asking, ‘What is this all about? What am I to learn from this experience?’ ” • “Who do you believe you are?

You are a child of Christ and you behave as such. It is up to you to make that choice and act as his child.”

• “We are made to love our neighbors as ourselves. We have been given many great examples along the way, too.”

“Dreamality” is available at bookstore.balboapress.com ally, Bosi would like to see “Dreamality” change American culture. Anyone who wants “true freedom” should read it, he said.

“The world is Goliath,” Bosi said. “This book is my slingshot against the world.”

SHOREWOOD – On March 13, Holy Family hosted “Vocation Day,” where students could learn more about various religious vocations through guest presenters.

After a prayer service led by Bishop Joseph M. Siegel in the Church, students broke into their faith families: groups of students that include schoolchildren of dif-

ferent ages, who join together to support one another while they experience a lesson outside of their typical classroom work.

Faith families were directed to locations throughout the school and church to hear a specific guest describe his/ her individual path taken to become a sister, brother, priest, seminarian or bishop.

After hearing the details about their chosen vocations, students asked the religious presenters questions before rotating to their next assigned location.

Before the event was complete, each group heard three different personal perspectives.

A catered lunch in the gym followed.

St. Mary students work on saint projects JOLIET – This year, seventh-graders at St. Mary Nativity Catholic School have been working on a saints project.

Students read a biography on the life of a saint, wrote a report, did a presentation dressed as the saint and participated in the All Saints’ day Mass in November.

Nathan Nemanich recently presented the saint he researched, St. Benedict of Nursia.

He gave a brief presentation to the home rooms about the life of St. Benedict.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Thursday, April 17, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

We have been looking at the balancing overcalls that have different meanings from those in the second position. Here is the third. Look at the South hand. After one spade - pass pass, what should South do?

Directly over one spade, if North jumps to two no-trump, it would be the Unusual Notrump, indicating at least 5-5 in the two lowest-ranking unbid suits. In the fourth position, though, it shows a (quasi-) balanced hand with some 20-21 points and at least one stopper in the opener’s suit; though you might have slightly fewer high-card points when holding a reasonable six-card minor.

In this deal, North then transfers into hearts before rebidding three no-trump to offer South a choice of games.

With only two hearts, he selects three no-trump. (Note that four hearts fails, the defenders taking three diamonds and one heart.)

Against three no-trump, West leads the spade queen.

How should South continue?

Declarer has eight top tricks: two spades, three hearts and three clubs. And it is easy to get greedy. Some players would win with their spade ace, cash the heart ace and queen, lead a spade to dummy’s king, and cash the heart king. However, when West discards, the contract can no longer be made.

Instead, South must be willing to trade one heart trick to guarantee four winners from the suit. After winning the first trick with his spade ace, he cashes the heart ace, overtakes the heart queen with dummy’s king, and continues with the heart 10 to drive out East’s jack.

Now the contract sails home.

Father of four is selfish to put his health at risk Dear Abby: I am a 34-year-old wife and mother of four. I’m concerned about my husband.

He is 44 and drinks at home every evening after work.

I don’t mind him having a few cans of beer, but he drinks between six and 12 a day. He refuses to see a doctor for checkups or when he is sick. I am worried about his health.

The drinking could have an impact, and I would like him to have a physical exam to put my mind at ease.

I tell my husband I want him to take care of himself to live longer for our children’s sake (our youngest is 4). At times, we argue about it, and I’m tired of fighting over his drinking.

His response is, “At least I do it at home and not at the bar.”

I think he is being selfish and thinking only of himself.

He talks about “pride.” How can I get him to cut down on his drinking or see a doctor as needed? – Worried Wife In Guam Dear Wife: Your husband

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips is an alcoholic. He may not want to see a doctor because he knows what the doctor will tell him. It is important that you understand you cannot control another person’s behavior, and the only person who can “get” your husband to stop drinking or cut down is him.

For your own emotional well-being, I’m advising you to contact Al-Anon. Al-Anon is a fellowship of family members and friends of alcoholics, and it was created to help people just like you. Visit Al-AnonFamilyGroups.org, call 888-4ALANON or email wso@al-anon. org.

You may also want to contact your department of mental health services for guidance. I can’t guarantee that it will help with your husband’s illness – because alcoholism is one – but

it will help you to cope.

Dear Abby: I’m 13 and in middle school. We have a program called an iPad Pilot Program in which students are given an iPad for a year to use in daily classroom activities. I’m a responsible honor student, yet somehow some scratches appeared on it one day.

My parents are really tight with money. I’m afraid if I tell them, I’ll get in trouble. I have some video games I don’t play anymore that I can sell to fix the scratches, but if I do, my parents will find out. I guess I don’t want them to be upset or think I’m irresponsible. Please tell me what to do. – In A Bind Dear In A Bind: Some wear and tear on items that are issued to students is to be expected. Stop stalling and tell your parents what happened.

They are going to find out eventually, and it is better that they hear it from you.

Simple changes make bathing easier for aging parents Dear Doctor K: I would appreciate suggestions for how to help an aging and ailing parent to bathe.

Dear Reader: Until you step in to help, you may not even be aware of all the obstacles that can make bathing difficult for someone who is older or ailing.

Arthritis, mental confusion or curtailed physical abilities can all contribute.

Your first step is to determine what is causing the problem.

Does your parent have poor eyesight? Trouble lifting his or her legs into and out of the tub?

Is he or she afraid of slipping?

Or is your parent dealing with cognitive issues that make it difficult to carry out the steps involved in bathing?

Once you’ve assessed the cause of the problem, try to address it.

Here are some issues to consider, and possible solutions: • Is the tub or shower accessible? If not, install grab bars, which can make it easier to get in and out. If a parent has trouble standing or balancing, try a handheld nozzle, or place a seat in the shower that your parent can sit on while bathing. (On my website, AskDoctorK.com,

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff I’ve put an illustration of what this setup could look like.)

• Is the bathroom safe? Make sure all rugs are absorbent and nonslip. Put nonslip decals or a bath mat in the tub.

• Is your mother or father always cold? If so, he or she may feel too chilly to bathe. Try heating the bathroom beforehand using properly installed heat lights or a safe, portable radiator.

Have large towels or a thick terry robe warmed in the dryer ready for when your parent is done bathing. Or try sponge baths in a warm room.

• Does your parent forget items that will be needed to shower? Put out everything that he or she will need – towel, soap, bathrobe, clothes, etc.

• Does your parent have trouble remembering the steps involved in taking a shower?

Calmly and gently talk him or her through them, one by one.

I once had a patient who had been a physically and intellectually commanding person

for all of his adult life. When he reached his late 60s, his life changed.

His wife died and he developed slowly progressive dementia.

He also developed a disease of his joints and muscles that sapped his strength and made nearly all movements painful.

He wanted to remain living in his long-time home, alone.

One day he fell in his bathroom.

Fortunately, he had an emergency alarm system on a chain around his neck and called for help.

But the fall caused his kids to do a systematic assessment of his ability to function in the home.

They were astonished by how much he couldn’t figure out (like how to get into a bathtub), and how easy it was to make his tub, shower and other parts of his home much safer for him. He remained independent for another two years – years he cherished.

Colds not caused by cold weather Dr. Wallace: When the winter weather kicks in every year I miss a lot of school. It really adds up, as I get three or four colds every winter and I’m always trying to catch up with my missed homework and with my reading assignments. I want to keep up with my studies because I’m an honor student.

I’ve tried really hard this year not to catch a cold. I eat healthy, take Vitamin C and eat at least one orange every day. I don’t even kiss my boyfriend, but I still caught three colds. I’m sure other teens have the same problem, so maybe you can give us some more tips to help us avoid catching colds.

– Lauren, Nashua, N.H. Dear Lauren: The American Medical Association reports that human beings can suffer as many as 200 colds in a lifetime and nobody can escape from having them. They also report that hand transmission is responsible for many of these colds. Therefore, it’s prudent to wash your hands often.

For example, if someone who is infected touches his nose or the area around it and then shakes somebody’s hand, he has transferred the virus. If that person touches his own nose (or eyes, since the tear ducts drain into the sinuses), he’s likely to become infected, too. Once they’re in your body – rhinoviruses are seldom found outside the nasal fluid – you can be infected. But you won’t necessarily catch a cold by kissing.

Since people stay indoors a good part of the time and are in close contact with one another in the wintertime, they catch more colds in the winter. Aside from avoiding close contact with those who are

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace coughing and sneezing, and practicing good personal hygiene, there isn’t much else you can do to avoid catching a cold.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and dropped out of school seven months ago because I was pregnant.

I now have a beautiful baby boy and live at home with my baby and my parents, who have done everything possible to help me through this.

I really want to go back to school next year, but when I talked to my counselor she told me it isn’t a good idea for me to attend regular classes now that I am a mother.

She said I should attend continuation school in the evenings and earn my diploma through this program.

I really want to go back to day school with teachers I know and my friends who helped me through my difficult days. If I can’t return to my regular day classes, I won’t go back to school. Please tell me what you think I should do. – Nameless, Garden Grove, Calif.

Dear Nameless: Have your parents talk with the principal. If that meeting fails to get you readmitted they should talk to the superintendent. The next step would be to go directly to your school board.

You may also want to check into the GED program, which caters to teens who have been away from the books for a while. A GED diploma is accepted the same as a regular high school diploma.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAYS

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

By DANA BARBUTO The Patriot Ledger Coming on the heels of “Noah,” “God’s Not Dead” and “Son of God,” the glut of faith-based movies continues this Holy Week with the Christian drama “Heaven Is For Real,” the true story of a 4-year-old boy who claims to have visited heaven during a neardeath experience.

In adapting Nebraska pastor Todd Burpo’s best-selling 2010 memoir, subtitled “A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back,” Randall Wallace, who wrote “Braveheart” and directed “Secretariat,” puts forth a spiritually engaging film that earned applause from the audience I saw it with.

What works for Wallace, who studied religion at Duke, is that the film has a solid cast, and the script from Chris Parker isn’t preachy or pandering. It doesn’t try to make heathens see the light.

Also, the filmmakers are careful to give adequate weight to opposing views. There is still, however, a lot of treacle to swallow.

Greg Kinnear sheds his usual smugness to play Burpo, a man whose faith is tested after his son nearly dies from a burst appendix. After that ordeal, Colton (newcomer Connor Corum) recounts in bits and pieces a visit to heaven and reveals things that he could not possibly know about dead family members and how he sat on the lap of Jesus. Colton’s sister, Cassie (Lane Styles), calls it “creepy.”

She’s not wrong.

Kinnear does his best to keep his character sincere as Todd becomes obsessed with seeking explanations from doctors and godless academics. Mom (Kelly Reilly) is harder to convince. She’s more concerned with the family’s growing financial woes, but plays along, reluctantly letting her son be interviewed by the local paper.

When that story breaks, the once-beloved Burpos are the laughingstock of Imperial, Neb.

Greg Kinnear keeps faith-based ‘Heaven Is For Real’ grounded

“Heaven Is For Real,” the true story of a 4-year-old boy who claims to have visited heaven during a near-death experience, stars Greg Kinnear.

Todd’s congregants (Margo Martindale, Thomas Haden Church) at the Crossroads Wesleyan Church are freaked and turn on their spiritual leader during his crisis of faith. “Is the boy a miracle?” “Do you believe he was in heaven?” they ask.

That Todd’s flock makes such an about-face toward him feels manipulative. But that switch does set up some poignant third-act moments between Todd and Martindale’s Nancy Rawling, a woman whose son was killed in action. Reilly also has a couple of touching scenes opposite Connor and Kinnear.

Without anything actually happening plotwise, an existential crisis can only take a narrative so far. Therefore, the film moves slowly. Wallace lets

his camera linger – a lot – on Connor’s precious cherub face, on a field of sunflowers, on the sky, and the soft-piano music lets you know just how you’re supposed feel. The scenes depicting heaven and Jesus (a green-eyed Kenny Loggins) have a cheesy special-effects feel.

Yes, you could be watching a bloated episode of “Touched By An Angel,” which like “Heaven,” is a gentle family drama preaching a universal gospel – God is love.

• “Heaven Is For Real” is rated PG for thematic material including some medical situations. The cast includes Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly, Thomas Haden Church, Connor Corum and Margo Martindale. Grade: C+
