Plainfield parks OKs hiring of new temporary director

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A relatively empty room led to a quick but decisive special meeting for the Plainfield Township Park District on Thursday as commissioners authorized board President Peter Hurtado to employ a new interim executive director.

Fewer than 20 people attended the meeting, a rare showing for the normally contentious board. Only one resident spoke during the public comment period.

“It’s nice to have a happy meeting for once,” Vice President Janet Silosky said, mentioning the calm demeanor of the room.

The board itself was missing some members, as Hurtado and Commissioner Peter Steinys didn’t show up.

Hurtado told The Herald-News on Tuesday he would ask questions about the candidate for interim executive director during closed session.

With Hurtado and Steinys absent, the new majority of Silosky and Commissioners

Mary Kay Ludemann and Larry Newton passed the motion to hire Richard Grodsky as the new interim executive director with a 3-0 vote following discussion in closed session.

Grodsky will take the post starting April 21, pending his and Hurtado’s signatures on a consulting services agreement. He will remain in the position until a permanent executive director is hired.

Grodsky most recently held the executive director position at the Elmhurst Park District for 15 years until he retired in 2012. Since then he has worked as a consultant advising other park districts, according to Newton.

Ludemann said Grodsky will assume the full powers of the executive director position. He will be paid for 15 hours per week at $75 per hour.

However, he will not receive benefits like health insurance because he will be in a consulting role.

Two motions about expanding the park district from five to seven commissioners was also discussed Thursday.

The board voted 2-1 in favor

of a resolution of support for Illinois House Bill 5593, which would immediately expand the board to seven commissioners with two appointments by state legislators.

However, the smaller board needed at least three votes to pass, not a majority, according to Village Attorney Matt Campbell. So, the resolution failed.

The bill would allow one commissioner to be appointed

by Rep. Tom Cross, R-Oswego, and one by Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood.

Ludemann and Newton were in favor of the resolution. But Silosky said it could be challenged in court, and the board should expand itself. All three commissioners praised the efforts of Cross, Bertino-Tarrant and Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, who co-sponsored the bill.

Another resolution that would also expand the park district by two members through spring elections in 2015 was tabled for the next meeting after Silosky said she didn’t want the resolution to fall through the cracks if it failed.

Lockport High School makes top 9 percent on Washington Post list

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – When it comes to preparing students for college, Lockport Township High School District 205 is among the top 9 percent in nation, according to a ranking by the Washington Post.

The Washington Post in its annual “America’s Most Challenging High Schools” ranked the Lockport High School District 62nd in the state. Lockport ranked 1,974 out of 22,000 high schools nationwide.

It’s the third year in a row the district made the list.

“We’re extremely grateful to be on the list again, it certainly gives us a lot to be proud of,” said Kim Brehm, district

public relations director and development.

School officials said District 205 consistently outranks most state school districts, including magnet schools that draw from large student populations not limited to residential boundaries.

The ranking formula used

by The Washington Post divides the number of advanced placement, international baccalaureate or other college-level tests a school gives by the number of graduating seniors, district officials said.

For the Washington Post, a school’s appearance on the list means they are trying hard to expose students to the demands of college, officials said.

Todd Wernet, district su-

perintendent, said the school was honored to be recognized.

“We’re certainly pleased being identified for the success of our programs here, but I think a lot of that recognition comes from the advanced placement [programs],” he said.

He said Lockport High School offers many programs not just to prepare students for college but also for trades such as food services and auto engineering. He said the school district wants to be a conduit for the goals of each student.

“You want to provide students as many opportunities as possible,” he said. “When a student enters high school, you do not want their determination decided at the ninth grade.”

With 16th graduation, program designed for recovery has record of success

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

J

• Friday, April 18, 2014

OLIET – A regular courtroom easily held the family and supporters who attended the first Will County Drug Court graduation 16 years ago.

Participation has grown, and almost 300 people attended a graduation ceremony Thursday held in the large annex of the Jacob Henry Mansion.

“If this keeps up we’re going to need to do this at Memorial Stadium on Jefferson Street,” Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes said.

“I hope we do.”

The program clears criminal charges against nonviolent drug offenders who complete substance abuse recovery programs. Recent ceremonies saw attendees crowd into the Will County boardroom and later the Joliet City Council chambers.

A veterans court has been added to address the needs of military veterans.

Alessio-Policandriotes, who has run the programs for nine years, outlined the struggles with addiction experienced by three veterans court graduates and 16 drug court graduates at the ceremony.

Most of them started using drugs and alcohol as teenagers and ended up stealing and lying to get money for drugs.

Edward Radziewicz of Plainfield compared his life before getting into drug court as “driving a car with the gas pedal slammed to the floor with no brakes.”

“I could only hold on, close my eyes and hope to gain some kind of control,” he told the court. But realizing the judge and support staff cared about him staying sober helped him regain the control he sought.

Radziewicz said recovery has taught him better ways to deal with stress.

“Recovery has allowed [me] to have a much easier time enjoying the company of

“Drug court does more than heal individuals.

It saves families.”

Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes others,” he said.

Radziewicz plans to continue with recovery programs and wants to speak with schoolchildren about the negative effects of drugs and alcohol.

“Drug court does more

than heal individuals. It saves families,” Alessio-Policandriotes said. The judge and Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow agree the entire community benefits when people are given support to become productive

working members of society again instead of committing crimes to support a habit.

Over 300 people have graduated from the drug court program since 1998. About 8 percent have committed drug offenses again.

“An 8 percent recidivism rate is phenomenal,” Glasgow said. He noted that the program has received a federal auditing grant for being one of the “top performing” courts in the country.

The regular criminal justice system has approximately 60 percent recidivism.

Since entering the program, many of the drug court graduates have found new or better jobs as a result of their sobriety. Several earned their

GEDs and want to continue at college.

“I had no life prior to entering drug court. It was chaos,” said David Nelson of Joliet. “I really needed the time in jail to get my head on straight and upon leaving I really needed [the support staff] to hold me accountable.”

Nelson then addressed the seven people wearing neon green jumpsuits and handcuffs seated at the back of the room – inmates from the county jail who are starting the program.

“Two years ago I was right where you guys were. If I can make it, anyone can. These people care about you,” Nelson told them.

Will County Board rejects pay raises Motions to increase pay for members, other officials get no support Thursday

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com The Will County Board on Thursday effectively rejected pay raises for themselves and other elected county officials.

Speaker Herbert Brooks, D-Joliet, made four motions to raise compensation for board members and the county sheriff, clerk and treasurer. But they all died without votes when none of the 25 other board members would second the motions at Thursday’s board meeting.

Just last week the board’s Executive Committee gave the proposed pay increases

preliminary approval, advancing them to the full County Board.

Brooks said he did not know why the support seen in committee last week disappeared.

However, Brooks said he and other board members received several phone calls and letters from constituents who opposed the raises.

“We got a lot of calls and letters from the public, and we listened to the public, even though I believe 100 percent with the comments made last week that the raises, that weren’t very much, would be timely,” he said.

The proposed raises would have increased board members’ salaries from $23,000 to $24,500, but not until 2016, with another increase of $500 in 2017. The stipend for County Board speaker would have been hiked to $5,000 in 2016.

The sheriff’s salary of $110,000 would have increased after the November election to $120,000, with increases of $2,500 each of the following three years. County treasurer and clerk salaries would have increased from $93,116 to $97,500 in 2016 and to $99,000 in 2017.

Bob Howard, D-Beecher, who voted against the pay raises at the committee meeting last week, said both party caucuses met earlier in the week and the consensus was to forgo the raises.

“With the way the economy is, it’s really not an appropriate time,” Howard said.

Salaries for county officials are generally addressed by the County Board every two years.

If salaries are to be raised, the approval must take place a minimum of six months before the upcoming November election.

To meet the deadline and allow for discussion, Bruce Friefeld, the board’s chief of staff, drafted a proposal earlier this month comparing Will County elected officials’ salaries to other collar counties.

If board members wanted to, they could call a special meeting in May to address salaries again.

But that’s highly unlikely, Republican Chair Jim Mous-

tis said.

“We still have a high unemployment rate. The last thing we should be doing is saying to the community, ‘You’re getting nothing but we’re going to get something,’” Moustis said. “It absolutely sends the wrong message.”

Brooks said he disagreed with allowing the motions to die on the floor Thursday.

“A lot of people feel we don’t work enough for the money we get. Their perception of what we do is totally wrong. I personally put in almost 60 hours a week. This is supposed to be a part-time job,” he said. “The perception of what we do is not true.

Some people think we come here just once a month but there’s over two dozen committees.”

Joliet zoning board gives OK to veterans housing City Council still must OK project

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A proposed housing project for low-income and homeless veterans got new life Thursday after receiving a special use permit from the city’s zoning board of appeals.

The 67-unit Hope Manor Joliet development, which would be built on the former campus of Silver Cross Hospital, was rejected by the Joliet City Council in February 2013 over density concerns.

Developer Volunteers of America Illinois may have resolved the density issue with the addition of a nearly 5-acre veterans contemplation garden to the northwest of the housing complex.

Nancy Hughes Moyer, chief executive with VOA Illinois, was enthused by the zoning board’s unanimous approval.

An artist’s rending shows the proposed Hope Manor Joliet development, looking northeast. The complex would provide housing for low-income and homeless veterans.

“We come here not as a real estate developer, but as a human services provider,” Moyer said. “We see housing as a means to an end, to help individuals and families building a better life for themselves.”

The special-use permit will come up before the City Council for final approval. The

council meets next on May 6.

The housing project would be south of Copperfield Avenue, bordered by North Hebbard, Eagle and Squirrel streets. It features four three-story buildings of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments around a 28,000-squarefoot recreation area. The main building would include offices

and supportive services, such as case management, support groups, business support and training.

Zoning board members grilled Moyer on several issues: • Veterans exclusivity: Housing preference is given to veterans and their families, Moyers said. She estimated 5,000 veterans in Will County would be eligible for the waiting list at the complex.

Nonveterans only would be accepted if the veterans list was exhausted, which Moyers said was unlikely to happen.

Under the special-use permit, VOA Illinois must inform the zoning board if it provides housing to nonveterans.

• Parking: Several members were concerned that the complex only offered one parking space per household. Moyer said typically only about 50 percent of low-income residents own cars, and that VOA Illinois envisioned parking would be adequate.

• Crime: Moyer said there have been no reports of

crimes or domestic incidents at its two Chicago sites, Hope Manor I and Hope Manor II. VOA Illinois maintains 24hour staffing at its facilities and holds residents to a strict code of standards. Potential residents undergo criminal background and veteran verification checks, she said.

• Residency/evictions: Moyer said residents stay at VOA Illinois facilities for an average of three years before moving. The eviction rate is about 15 percent, usually over nonpayment and other leasing issues, she told the board.

Several audience members urged the board to approve the permit, including new District 4 Councilwoman Bettye Gavin.

“We have a second chance at this,” Gavin said. “Let’s move forward.”

If approved, VOA Illinois will apply for equity tax credit funding through the Illinois Housing Development Authority, Moyer said. Construction likely would follow in 2015.

PLAINFIELD

JOLIET

Home building bouncing back

‘American Idiot’ set at Rialto Theatre THE HERALD–NEWS

Vikaas Shanker – vshanker@shawmedia.com

A Plainfield home is under construction on Thornberry Drive while a lot next to it is available in the Dayfield subdivision off 143rd Street. Empty lots on the street are filling up fast with houses in different phases of construction. In the first quarter of 2014, Plainfield granted 27 residential permits.

By the numbers Residential new construction permits for past 10 years for Plainfield: • 2004: 1,320 • 2005: 1,407 • 2006: 998 • 2007: 404

• 2008: 172 • 2009: 66 • 2010: 58 • 2011: 93

Source: Village of Plainfield great job on foresight and planning, and that was done at a pretty tough time in the market cycle,” Wilcox said.

“That helped it emerge from the downturn very strong.”

The price and location of Plainfield also makes it an attractive destination for families who can’t find affordable housing in Naperville and DuPage County.

“They did a good job on the downtown area,” Wilcox said.

“They have good schools, and Plainfield is geographically positioned very well with good access to I-80 and I-55.”

Ryan Homes presented its plan for a 212-home subdivision to the village’s planning commission April 1. The subdivision would be located south of the Meijer at 135th

Street along Route 59.

“The project is on the fast track,” Garrigan said, adding that it could potentially go to the Village Board for approval at the May 5 meeting.

“Ryan Homes would like to get this approved and under construction as soon as possible.”

Garrigan said the village last week also met with another developer about future neighborhood construction.

Lichtfuss said Plainfield is “a hot community for us” because of amenities including jogging paths, trails and parks.

“And the sky is not falling anymore,” he said, “so I think people are ready to move.”

JOLIET – A national tour of the Broadway hit “American Idiot” will perform at the Rialto Square Theatre on Wednesday.

PLAINFIELD – People want to build homes in Plainfield again – and fast.

Housing developers are seeing rising demand for new houses in Plainfield. They say the village is an attractive destination for young families, but the recent flood of future homeowners reflects the recent economic turnaround.

“We’re seeing that a lot more,” said Jim Lichtfuss, manager of Windsor Custom Developers, a local developer operating in Plainfield and Naperville since 1994. “People want a quick move in right now. They’re in a rush before prices start going up. This is by far the busiest year we’ve had in a while.”

Developers have applied for residential permits at a much greater rate this year, according to Village Planner Michael Garrigan.

The village granted 27 residential permits in the first three months of 2014. That’s the highest first-quarter number since 2008 with 63 permits.

“This season there could even be a shortage of open lots in north Plainfield,” Garrigan said, leading to more pressure on developers to plan new neighborhoods in the village.

Jamie Wilcox, president of Wilcox Communities, said while the rise in demand for housing was expected as the country comes out of recession, Plainfield has done a good job of keeping itself attractive.

Wilcox Communities is a national developer building homes in the Villas at Fox Run neighborhood on Route 59 south of Fraser Road.

Nurses testify at hearing for bill

Joliet plans Arbor Day event for Monday

three patients on his or her own at a time, Hickey said.

Currently, the Joliet hospital has staffing level guidelines, but those can be modified.

Officials from Presence Saint Joseph did not testify at the hearing. But hospital spokeswoman Lisa Lagger said, “Our patient care, our quality of care and our nursing care has repeatedly been recognized for its excellence.”

Danny Chun, spokesman for IHA, said such a mandate calls for a “rigid, static” formula that doesn’t allow for flexibility at the local level to set staffing to best match the needs of patients.

Lockport officials doubtful about Salvation Army store Council set to vote on permit for shop at next meeting

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Some city officials are not too keen on having a Salvation Army store in Lockport.

The Salvation Army applied for a special-use permit to run a thrift store at 954 E. Ninth St. But several council members and city officials said another thrift store in town would make it hard to attract other types of retailers.

At Wednesday’s Committee of the Whole meeting, Mayor Steven Streit said he had no problem with the organization’s mission but did not think the thrift store would be a good fit for Lockport. He said he’s spoken with residents who tell him they do not want another thrift store in

the area.

“I believe right now we’re at the head of what we’re trying to do. If this goes in right now, it defines us,” he said.

City officials are trying to brand Lockport to the Chicago area and bring in more businesses. They have hired The Retail Coach to help plan a retail strategy for three areas in town: I-355; Farrell Road and Summit Street; and downtown.

The Salvation Army proposed a store that would sell both new and used merchandise. Revenue generated from the store would primarily go toward a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Indiana. The organization’s representatives have said they expect the store to generate about $2 million in sales and they would hire about 40 employees.

Because the store sells used merchandise and would be located in a community commercial zoning district, it would need a special-use permit.

Seven people spoke at an April 8 public hearing, with two supporting the approval of the permit and four opposing it, according to city records.

Those in favor of the permit said traffic to the site would increase business at their stores. Those opposed voiced concerned about the negative impact at existing thrift stores.

Ross Pope, a Salvation Army representative, spoke in support of the permit at Wednesday’s meeting. He said the store would be an asset to the community and would not hurt business at other thrift stores.

“It has not been our experience to have a ‘Wal-Mart effect’ on other retailers,” he said. “Thrift historically has been a small market in the last seven to 10 years. … In the last five [years], the resale industry has increased significantly.”

City Council members are scheduled to vote on the permit at their next meeting.

JOLIET – Months into contract negotiations, union nurses and administrators at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center are still at odds, with a change to staffing ratios being the main sticking point.

The issue of nurse-to-patient staff ratios at the state level was the subject of a legislative hearing Wednesday in Chicago, where three Presence Saint Joseph nurses testified.

Representatives from the Illinois Nursing Association, Illinois Hospital Association and other groups also testified for or against House

Bill 12, which would require hospitals to meet mandated nurse-to-patient ratios depending on the unit.

Victoria Hickey, a nurse at Presence St. Joseph, said she believes mandated patient-to-nurse ratios would improve patient care and the staff working environment.

“When a hospital is shortstaffed, patient complications can happen,” she said.

“A lot of times, that could be prevented with adequate staffing levels.”

She said the Joliet hospital’s intensive care unit typically has the adequate 2-to-1 patient-to-nurse ratio.

But sometimes, because of staff breaks or other factors, one nurse could be handling

nurses, you’d have to shut down the entire unit,” he said.

Presence Saint Joseph officials have previously said such mandated nurse-to-patient ratios, as seen in California, have not been proven to improve patient outcomes such as mortality rates and medication errors.

The issue at the local level picks up April 25 when union officials and hospital administration meet again at the bargaining table.

Both sides began bargaining in January. The last contract expired March 24.

Both sides also haven’t yet agreed on salary increases.

Union officials want a 4 percent increase in pay per year over three years, while administrators are calling for a 2 percent increase.

JOLIET – The city will hold its Arbor Day celebration Monday at Wesmere Elementary School.

Fifth-grade students of teacher Tracy Hood will participate in a tree planting ceremony at 2:15 p.m. at the school at 2001 Wesmere Parkway.

The school also joined the city in a “Trees Are Terrific” Arbor Day Poster Contest. The winning posters will be on display at City Hall until Arbor Day, which is April 25.

The city of Joliet has been designated a “Tree City USA” for 23 consecutive years. An annual Arbor Day celebration is one of the requirements.

Approved cities also spend at least $2 per capita on urban forestry and maintain a tree department or board.

LOCAL BRIEFS Man’s body found in vacant Joliet building

Joliet man accused of pointing gun from car

JOLIET – A man’s body was found Thursday afternoon inside a vacant building in downtown Joliet. Police Chief Brian Benton said detectives were called around 2:30 p.m. after the body was found at 211 N. Joliet St. “It is an adult male and there are no obvious signs of foul play,” Benton said Thursday. The Will County Coroner’s Office scheduled an autopsy for Friday.

The red brick building is about a block from Harrah’s Casino. Joliet police are still seeking a missing person who was last seen in that area Oct. 17. Henry Chunn, 69, of Calumet City had been staying with his wife at the casino hotel, but apparently wandered away toward the Cass Street Bridge.

JOLIET – A man was arrested after pointing a handgun at another driver early Thursday, police said.

Around 2 a.m. the victim was driving near Granite and Summit streets when he was passed by two men in a black Pontiac, according to Capt. Tab Jensen.

“As the Pontiac passed, the driver pointed a handgun out the window toward the victim,” Jensen said.

The victim said he had never seen the other men before, Jensen said. He called police, who spotted the Pontiac at Bridge Street and Broadway.

When backup units arrived, they stopped the vehicle at Ottawa and Benton streets and found a revolver inside, Jensen said.

Demonte S. Garrison, 20, of the 500 block of Mohawk Street, was arrested on charges of unlawful use of a weapon and unauthorized possession of a firearm and released on bond.

Another 20-year-old Joliet man was taken into custody, but released without being charged.

Three people charged in meth delivery sting LOCKPORT – Three people were arrested Tuesday after allegedly delivering five pounds of methamphetamine to undercover agents. Jose M. Ortega, 25, and Brayan Rodriguez-Esparza, 21, both of the 6300 block of Blue Ridge Drive in Joliet, and Tiffani C. Haas, 29, of San Bernadino, Calif., were arrested by a Drug Enforcement Task Force, according to reports.

They were booked into the county jail on charges of drug trafficking and delivery of drugs. They were each held on $2 million bond.

Car lights out leads to drug arrest in Frankfort FRANKFORT – Vehicle violations allegedly led police to arrest a marijuana dealer Tuesday night.

Deputy Chief Kevin Keegan said an officer was on patrol at 10:44 p.m. near Route 30 and Route

45 when he saw a gray Honda Accord driving with one headlight and no taillights. The officer pulled the car over and smelled cannabis when he questioned Kyle A. Rice, 21, who admitted to “smoking a blunt,” Keegan said.

“The officer then searched the vehicle and found 32 small bags of cannabis in the center console,” Keegan said.

The marijuana seized weighed 33 grams, according to reports.

Rice, of the 5100 block of Roberta Lane in Richton Park, was booked into the Will County jail on a charge of delivery of marijuana.

Police: Pair of robbers take Air Jordans, cash JOLIET – Police say two robbers took sneakers and cash at gunpoint Wednesday.

A 20-year-old man called police at 7:37 p.m. to the 200 block of Fifth Avenue, where he expected to sell a pair of Air Jordan gym shoes to two men, Capt. Tab Jensen said. But when the victim arrived with the shoes, one man pulled out a gun and took the cash and shoes, Jensen said. The victim was not hurt.

A 17-year-old boy was found nearby and arrested on armed robbery charges. He was booked into the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center. Jensen said Thursday that police were seeking a second suspect.

– Brian Stanley

Demetrius K. Kelly, 22, of the 2500 block of Garden Street, was arrested

by Joliet police Tuesday on charges of burglary, shoplifting and driving with a suspended license.

Brittney A. Moody, 27, of the 200 block of Blackberry Drive in Bolingbrook, was arrested by Bolingbrook police Tuesday on charges of driving with a suspended license and obstructing justice.

Julian J. Stamps, 17, of the 2100 block of California Avenue in Lock-

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When Roosevelt T. McCullum’s home alarm company called him Wednesday afternoon about a possible break-in, he flagged down a police officer and drove back to the house.

But the door had been forced open by officers from the Joliet Narcotics Unit who had a search warrant for McCullum’s apartment in the 400 block of Douglas Street, Capt. Tab Jensen said.

Jensen said McCullum, 58, was detained when he arrived, but police found only a small amount of marijuana and some drug packaging material inside his home.

“But there were 80 grams of cannabis inside his gray

2005 Nissan,” Jensen said.

McCullum was arrested on charges of delivery of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia and booked into the Will County jail.

Police records indicate McCullum has also used the aliases “Stanley McCullum” and “Victor McCullum” and has previous arrests for aggravated battery and drug possession.

In November 2001, McCullum was arrested on suspicion of holding up a gas station on West Jefferson Street and a candy store on Plainfield Road.

Police said McCullum approached the clerks and had his hands in his pockets as if he was carrying a gun to demand money from the registers.

Arrangements entrusted to:

CHICAGO – Chicago environmental groups filed a lawsuit Thursday to stop the proposed $1.3 billion Illiana Tollway linking northern Illinois and northwestern Indiana, claiming the Illinois Department of Transportation doesn’t have authority to develop it.

The Environmental Law & Policy Center filed the suit in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of the Sierra Club and Openlands.

It contends that the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning’s policy committee erred when it voted in October to include the tollway in its long-term development plan for the region, even though its own board of directors already had derided it as an expensive boondoggle and voted against it.

The lawsuit claims board approval is necessary under Illinois law, and IDOT cannot legally circumvent that.

“The Illinois Department of Transportation is violating Illinois law by spending public funds on the proposed Illiana Tollway,” because of the board’s rejection, said ELPC Executive Director Howard A. Learner.

The lawsuit asks a judge to rule that IDOT cannot spend public funds on the proposed 47-mile Illiana Tollway, which would link Interstate 55 in Will County and Interstate 65 in Lake County, Ind. Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and Indiana Gov. Mike Pence claim the tollway would help speed goods by truck, reduce congestion and create thousands of jobs.

STATE Ill. gives early approval to $100M for Obama museum The ASSOCIATED PRESS

Peoria Mayor Jim Ardis speaks in a May 2013 City Council meeting in Peoria. Police officers trying to find out who was behind a fake Twitter account set up in the name of Peoria’s mayor raided a home Tuesday, seizing computers and phones and hauling several people in to be questioned.

Fake mayoral Twitter account prompts raid The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA – Police officers trying to find out who was behind a fake Twitter account set up in the name of Peoria’s mayor have raided a home, seizing computers and phones and hauling several people in to be questioned.

Tuesday’s raid was carried out by four plainclothes officers even though Twitter had suspended the account several weeks ago.

Three people at the home were brought to a police station to be interviewed, as were two other people who were met by police at their workplaces.

No arrests were made in connection with the Twitter account, but one of the residents was charged with possession of marijuana, the Peoria Journal Star reported.

Police Chief Steve Settingsgaard says officers were investigating it as a possible case of impersonating a public official, an offense punishable with a fine of up to $2,500 and up to a year in jail.

“They brought me in like I was a criminal,” said Mi-

chelle Pratt, a 27-year-old resident who was in the shower when officers arrived at the front door.

The Twitter account was set up in late February or early March under the handle @Peoriamayor. It included a photo of Mayor Jim Ardis, his city email address and a bio saying he enjoyed serving the city.

Some tweets referenced sex and drugs.

By March 10, the bio information was updated to indicate it was a parody account.

It had about 50 tweets and as many followers.

“A parody means it’s fake.

It was even listed as fake,” Pratt said. “It was a joke Twitter account, and they searched the whole house.”

But Settingsgaard took a different view.

“I don’t agree it was obvious, and in fact it appears that someone went to great lengths to make it appear it was actually from the mayor,” Settingsgaard said in an email response to questions.

Ardis could not be reached for comment, the newspaper said.

CHICAGO – Even though Chicago is where Barack Obama got his start in politics, first lady Michelle Obama grew up and the Obamas still call their hometown, state and local officials aren’t taking for granted that the Windy City will land the president’s official library.

Illinois legislators advanced a plan Thursday to devote $100 million in state construction funds to bring the Obama presidential library and museum to Chicago. Lawmakers said the money was intended to sweeten a city bid, noting that Hawaii, where Obama was born, and New York, where he attended college, also are interested

in housing the presidential artifacts and records.

A nonprofit foundation launched by Obama backers with the president’s support has asked parties interested in hosting the library to submit proposals by June 16.

“We are not going to rely on the president’s affinity for the city of Chicago,” Mayor Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s former chief of staff, said during a legislative hearing in Chicago. “We will be subtle in our reminder where his family is from, where he started his career. But we want to be very competitive in making sure this library and this foundation come back to the city of Chicago.”

Emanuel and representatives from a handful of Chi-

cago universities that want to host the library said the investment would return dividends by attracting tourists and new development such as hotels and restaurants.

Susan Sher, the first lady’s former chief of staff who is now leading the University of Chicago’s efforts to land the library, said it could have a “transformative effect” on South Side neighborhoods that are struggling economically by creating jobs, programs for youth and cultural partnerships.

“The library would be a source of great pride for the state of Illinois and the city of Chicago,” Sher said.

She also noted that Hawaii and New York are expected to make “very serious” bids.

This surveillance photo provided by the FBI shows 73-year-old Walter Unbehaun, an ex-convict from Rock Hill., S.C., during a bank robbery in Niles, Ill. Unbehaun allegedly told investigators he intended to get caught so he could live his final years behind bars. ance, he also confounded his lawyer.

“His first words were, ‘I just want to go home,” that same attorney, Richard McLeese, told the court Thursday.

For a few minutes, McLeese had thought Unbehaun was saying he hoped to get bond.

Then he realized Unbehaun was asking to go to prison. It was as if, McLeese said, a patient had asked his doctor to help him have a stroke.

“It is, without a doubt, one of the saddest and most disturbing cases I’ve dealt with,” he said.

Prosecutor Sharon Fairley conceded the judge faced a dilemma: Sending Unbehaun to prison could be seen as more reward than punishment to him, but setting him free would risk him committing another serious crime.

His case raised broader societal questions, she said in one filing.

“Did the system fail Mr. Unbehaun? Or was his inability to stay out of jail the result of his own free will?” she asked.

“We may never know. But what we do know, clearly, is Mr. Unbehaun lacks the desire to lead a law-abiding life outside of prison walls.”

The Chicago-born Unbehaun first went to prison at 23 for transporting a stolen car.

He was convicted of kidnapping a 19-year-old girl in 1970 whom he had tied to an Ohio

motel bed before fleeing in her car. His record includes more than half a dozen convictions, including – ironically – for escaping from prison.

He pleaded guilty in September to the 2013 bank robbery. Prosecutors asked for a five-year sentence Thursday, though they’d asked for seven in earlier filings; the defense asked for three.

It wasn’t as if no one tried to extend Unbehaun a helping hand.

Following his 2011 release from prison after serving an 11-year term for bank robbery, his sister and her husband bought Unbehaun, a childless widower, a trailer home in rural Rock Hill, S.C., the couple said Wednesday. He spent his days watching television, or drawing and painting.

“He was living like a hermit,” McLeese said. “The analogy he drew was that it was like living in solitary confinement.”

McLeese told the court Thursday the onset of mild dementia may have contributed to Unbehaun’s decision to rob his way back into prison. He said the last judge who sentenced him failed to ensure his mental health treatment.

Coleman said Unbehaun would also serve three years of closely monitored probation and that mental health services should be readily available to him.

CHICAGO – An ex-con who spent most of his adult life behind bars on Thursday got what he said he wanted for robbing a suburban Chicago bank. The 74-year-old gets to go back to the place he called home – prison.

Telling Walter Unbehaun he frightened a teller by showing her a revolver tucked in his waistband during the 2013 heist, a federal judge imposed a 3½ year prison sentence, citing a rap sheet that includes crimes from home invasion to kidnapping.

“This is not the first time you’ve inspired fear,” Judge Sharon Johnson Coleman said, scolding the high-school dropout and part-time bathtub repairman.

As he had on the day he robbed the bank, Unbehaun gripped a cane as he hobbled to a podium to make a brief statement. He didn’t withdraw his wish to go to prison, though he said, “I don’t want to die in prison.”

“My crime is bad, there ain’t no doubt,” he said calmly. “I just wanna be like everybody else.”

Boredom and loneliness, defense filings said, had partly led Unbehaun to conclude that a life on the inside was preferable to life outside.

No family or friends of Unbehaun attended Thursday’s hearing in Chicago.

Listening to the proceedings, he fidgeted and rubbed his forearms, both of which sported tattoos. He occasionally nodded as his lawyer spoke.

Last year, he walked into the bank with a cane but no disguise, displayed the loaded gun and told the teller, “I don’t want to hurt you.” With $4,178 in loot, he drove to a nearby motel and waited for police to arrive.

When they did, the bald, portly Unbehaun dropped his cane, raised his hands and startled police by his apparent joy at getting nabbed.

At his initial court appear-

ST. LOUIS – Lowe’s Home Centers has agreed to pay a $500,000 federal penalty in settling claims that its contractors in at least nine states broke environmental rules for addressing lead paint dust during home renovation projects, two federal agencies announced Thursday.

As part of the deal announced by the Justice Department and Environmental Protection Agency, the North Carolina-based home improvement retailer also pledged to adopt a compliance program for dealing with lead paint during the renovation programs offered through its more than 1,700 stores.

The Justice Department’s complaint and brokered deal with Lowe’s, filed Thursday in federal court in East St. Louis, Ill., accused an unspecified number of Lowe’s contractors of not following an EPA rule requiring them to use “lead-safe” practices when working on homes, day-care centers and schools built before 1978. That was the year lead paint was banned for residential use because of health risks.

The lawsuit also claimed contractors failed to adequately complete paperwork showing adherence to safe practices in dealing with lead paint in homes being renovated or repaired, and that the company failed to document that its contractors were properly trained or certified.

The Justice Department and EPA said Thursday’s deal constituted some measure of environmental or social justice, noting that many pre-1978 homes are in urban areas commonly populated by minorities.

Lead paint can be especially harmful to children, given that high levels of exposure while their nervous

systems are still developing can subject them to possible behavioral disorders and learning disabilities if not detected early. Lead exposure also can cause reproductive problems, high blood pressure, nervous disorders and memory problems in adults, as well as seizures and sometimes death.

The $500,000 civil penalty agreed to by Lowe’s is the biggest for violations of the federal Lead Renovation, Repair and Painting Rule, the Justice Department said.

The deal will undergo a public comment period, then be considered for approval by a federal judge.

“Today’s settlement sends a clear message to all contractors and the firms they hire: Get lead certified and comply with the law to protect children from exposure to dangerous lead dust,” said Cynthia Giles, assistant administrator for the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance. “Lowe’s is taking responsibility for the actions of the firms it hires, and EPA expects other contractors to do the same.”

A Lowe’s spokeswoman said the company cooperated with the EPA and resolved all issues the agency alleged.

Amanda Manna added that Lowes, among the nation’s biggest home improvement retailers where homeowners can contract for home projects, also said the contractors in question are a sliver of the thousands the company hires.

No project by a Lowe’s contractor dealing with leadbased paint has been shown to have posed health issues, Manna said.

The EPA, as part of a review spurred by consumer tips and complaints, said the violations made public Thursday involved certain Lowe’s stores in Alaska, Connecticut, Idaho, Illinois, New Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Tennessee and Vermont.

NATION&WORLD Astronomers spot most Earth-like planet yet

By ALICIA CHANG The Associate Press LOS ANGELES – Astronomers have discovered what they say is the most Earth-like planet yet detected – a distant, rocky world that’s similar in size to our own and exists in the Goldilocks zone where it’s not too hot and not too cold for life.

The find, announced Thursday, excited planet hunters who have been scouring the Milky Way galaxy for years for potentially habitable places outside our solar system.

“This is the best case for a habitable planet yet found.

The results are absolutely rock solid,” University of California, Berkeley astronomer Geoff Marcy, who had no role in the discovery, said in an email.

The planet was detected

by NASA’s orbiting Kepler telescope, which studies the heavens for subtle changes in brightness that indicate an orbiting planet is crossing in front of a star. From those changes, scientists can calculate a planet’s size and make certain inferences about its makeup.

The newfound object, dubbed Kepler-186f, circles a red dwarf star 500 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. A light-year is almost 6 trillion miles.

The planet is about 10 percent larger than Earth and may very well have liquid water – a key ingredient for life – on its surface, scientists said. That is because it resides at the outer edge of the habitable temperature zone around its star – the sweet spot where lakes, rivers or oceans can exist without freezing solid or boiling away.

The find “is special because we already know that a planet of this size and in the habitable zone is capable of supporting life as we know it,” lead researcher Elisa Quintana of NASA’s Ames Research Center said at a news conference.

The discovery was detailed in Friday’s issue of the journal Science. It was based on observations that were made before the Kepler telescope was crippled by a mechanical failure last year.

The planet probably basks in an orange-red glow from its star and is most likely cooler than Earth, with an average temperature slightly above freezing, “similar to dawn or dusk on a spring day,” Marcy said.

Quintana said she considers the planet to be more of an “Earth cousin” than a twin because it circles a star that is smaller and dimmer than our sun. While Earth revolves around the sun in 365 days, this planet completes an orbit of its star every 130 days.

Scientists cannot say for certain whether it has an atmosphere, but if it does, it probably contains a lot of carbon dioxide, experts said.

“Don’t take off your breathing mask if you ever land there,” said Lisa Kaltenegger, a Harvard and Max Planck Institute astronomer who had no connection to the research.

Despite the differences, “now we can point to a star and know that there really is a planet very similar to the Earth, at least in size and temperature,” Harvard scientist David Charbonneau, who was not part of the team, said in an email.

If the planet is habitable, photosynthesis may be possible, said astronomer Victoria Meadows of the University of Washington, Seattle.

“There are Earth plants that would be quite happy with that,” she said.

Since its launch in 2009, Kepler has confirmed 961 planets, but only a few dozen are in the habitable zone. Most are giant gas balls like Jupiter and Saturn, and not ideal places for life. Scientists in recent years have also found planets slightly larger than Earth in the Goldilocks zone called “super Earths,” but it is unclear if they are rocky.

Police: Mom drove into river trying to kill three kids

By KATHY MATHESON The Associated Press

Three New Jersey teens frantically used their cellphones to call for help from a sinking van after their troubled mother drove them into a river, their father said Thursday.

Ultimately, a passer-by helped all four escape from the cold Delaware River in Florence Township, N.J., after one sibling kicked out a window.

“They did all the right things,” said the father, Jeffrey Smith. “I just thank God that they got out safely.”

Police said Joann Smith, of Florence, tried to drown the three children, ages 13 to 15. She was charged with

attempted murder and child endangerment and was being held on $600,000 bail.

Jeffrey Smith said he received a call from his daughter around 6:30 p.m. Tuesday after the car went off a boat ramp about 20 miles northeast of Philadelphia. He said his two sons in the van were simultaneously trying to call 911, but one was cut off when the phone got wet.

Smith said he was about 15 miles away running an errand with the couple’s eldest son when he got the call.

About the same time, township resident Darnell Taylor said he and his wife were driving by the boat ramp when he noticed the partially submerged van in the river.

He told WCAU-TV that he got out of his car, heard screaming and jumped in the water.

“I couldn’t get the window open because the window in the van was not a pop-out window,” Taylor told the Philadelphia NBC affiliate.

“So I kept telling the young lady to kick the window out and she kicked it out.”

Taylor recalled that Joann Smith only said “Thank you” during the ordeal.

Jeffrey Smith said Thursday that his 49-year-old wife has been battling mental illness for more than a decade.

Treatments have included hospitalizations and medications, he said, yet it’s hard to determine “when things are going to go bad.”

South Korean rescue team members prepare to search for passengers of a ferry sinking off South Korea’s southern coast Thursday, in the water near Jindo, south of Seoul, South Korea. coast guard official, said officials were investigating whether the captain got on one of the first rescue boats.

Kim Han-sik, president of Chonghaejin Marine Co., the ship’s owner, also apologized separately, bowing deeply and saying through his tears, “I committed a sin punishable by death. ... I am at a loss for words. I am sorry. I am sorry.”

The 480-foot Sewol had left Incheon on the northwestern coast of South Korea on Tuesday for the overnight journey to the southern resort island of Jeju. There were 475 people aboard, including 325 students from Danwon High School in Ansan, which is near Seoul, It was three hours from its destination Wednesday morning when it began to list for an unknown reason.

Oh Yong-seok, a helmsman on the ferry with 10 years of shipping experience, said that when the crew gathered on the bridge and sent a distress call, the ship was already listing more than 5 degrees, the critical angle at which a vessel can be brought back to even keel.

The first instructions from the captain were for passengers to put on life jackets and stay where they were, Oh said.

Video obtained by The Associated Press that was shot by a survivor, truck

driver Kim Dong-soo, shows the vessel listing severely with people in life jackets clinging to the side of the ship to keep from sliding.

The initial announcement for passengers to stay in their quarters can be heard.

A third mate reported that the ship could not be righted, and the captain ordered another attempt, which also failed, Oh said.

A crew member then tried to reach a lifeboat but fell because the vessel was tilting, prompting the first mate to suggest to the captain that he order an evacuation, Oh said.

About 30 minutes after passengers were told to stay in place, the captain finally gave the order to evacuate, Oh said, adding that he wasn’t sure that in the confusion and chaos on the bridge if the order was relayed to the passengers.

Several survivors also told the AP that they never heard any evacuation order.

By then, it was impossible for crew members to move to passengers’ rooms to help them because the ship was tilted at an impossibly acute angle, he said. The delay in evacuation also likely prevented lifeboats from being deployed.

“We couldn’t even move one step. The slope was too big,” said Oh, who escaped with about a dozen others, including the captain.

The Associated Press PARIS – Small underground nuclear power plants that could be cheaper to build than their behemoth counterparts may herald the future for an energy industry under intense scrutiny since the Fukushima disaster, the incoming head of the Nuclear Energy Agency told The Associated Press.

Size is relative – the modular plants could be about as big as a couple of semi-trailers – easily fitting on the dimensions of coal plants they’re ultimately intended to replace in the U.S. They would have factory-built parts that are slotted together like Lego blocks and hauled by train or truck – making assembly possible anywhere.

William Magwood, the incoming director of the Paris-based forum for nuclear energy countries, said the U.S. expects the first licensing applications to build one of the small, modular nuclear reactors in the second half of 2014, a key test to learn whether they can exist beyond the theoretical.

The Energy Department has sunk $450 million into a multi-year effort to persuade companies that the technology can be developed profitably, but companies have been drifting away from the project, citing funding and regulatory questions. It would be at least another six years before one could be built, Magwood said.

“Anything with nuclear takes a while, and that’s appropriate when you’re talking about a technology that has to be built correctly,” Magwood said in an interview ahead of his formal introduction this week to his new post. “We haven’t built one, so we don’t know whether they’re going to be financially successful.”

Microsoft founder Bill Gates has offered enthusiastic support – and investment funds – for expanding nuclear technology he believes can provide affordable electricity to the world’s poor and help combat climate change. But one of the most promising

developers in the Energy Department effort, Babcock & Wilcox Co., owner of mPower, this week announced plans to scale back spending, citing the need for “significant additional investors.” The other company in the running is NuScale.

And safety fears could cause even communities hungry for new sources of power to hesitate, just three years after the meltdown at Japan’s Fukushima Dai-ichi plant. In the United States, the untested technology is competing with a shale gas boom that upended the market.

A full-size reactor costs $6 billion to $8 billion and takes years to build – and decades to recoup the costs. It can produce enough to power more than 700,000 American homes, more than 10 times the output of its smaller counterpart.

“A small reactor ... can be built for a fraction of that cost,” Magwood said, describing the proposed costs as about one-tenth of a smaller reactor. Companies pitching the projects say they could be built near population centers, but Magwood said that would need serious vetting.

They have, he later cautioned, “a possibility that’s not yet proven.”

Gates is a major investor in the reactor development firm TerraPower, which is among a small number of U.S. companies trying to make major changes in nuclear power.

The company, which primarily deals with large-scale reactors that would make and consume their own fuel, is also developing steel alloys that could apply to the modular technology.

“If you could make nuclear really, really safe, and deal with the economics, deal with waste, then it becomes the nirvana you want: a cheaper solution with very little CO2 emissions,” Gates told Rolling Stone magazine in an interview last month.

Japan’s nuclear plants have been closed since the March 11, 2011, earthquake and tsunami damaged the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant, causing meltdowns in three reactors.

MOKPO, South Korea – There was chaos and confusion on the bridge of a sinking ferry, with the captain first trying to stabilize the listing vessel before ordering its evacuation, a crewman said Thursday.

By the time the order came, however, he said it had become impossible to help many of the passengers – although the captain and a dozen crew members survived.

The confirmed death toll from Wednesday’s sinking of the Sawol off southern South Korea was 25, the coast guard said. But the number was expected to rise with about 270 people missing, many of them high school students on a class trip. Officials said there were 179 survivors.

Divers worked in shifts to try to get into the sunken vessel, but strong currents would not allow them to enter, said coast guard spokesman Kim Jae-in. The divers planned to pump oxygen into the ship to help any survivors, but first they had to get inside, he added.

The water temperature in the area was about 54 degrees Fahrenheit, cold enough to cause signs of hypothermia after about 90 minutes of exposure.

Kim said three vessels with cranes are being brought in to help with the rescue and to salvage the ferry, which sank not far from the southern city of Mokpo and now sits with just part of its keel visible.

The captain of the Sawol, identified by broadcaster YTN and the Yonhap news agency as 68-year-old Lee Joon-seok, was questioned by the coast guard and made a brief, videotaped appearance, although his face was hidden by a gray hoodie.

“I am really sorry and deeply ashamed,” Lee said.

“I don’t know what to say.”

ANOTHER VIEW

Redrawing the map Good news for the great majority of Illinois voters who are fed up with politicians rigging the electoral maps: A grassroots effort to amend the state constitution has collected almost 350,000 signatures – and banked more than $2.5 million in campaign contributions from a diverse lineup of supporters.

That’s more than enough signatures to get the measure on the Nov. 4 ballot, and a healthy budget to promote the cause.

Now comes the hard part.

The polls aren’t going to give up their most potent power-grabbing tool without a fight.

Watch for those petitions to be challenged within minutes after they’re filed.

That’s why Yes For Independent Maps hopes to have up to 500,000 signatures by the May 4 deadline. The group needs a cushion in case some signatures are invalidated or some pages are disqualified for staple-versus-paper-clip nitpicking. Next comes the inevitable lawsuit, challenging the constitutionality or the language of the amendment, or both. It would fall to the Illinois Supreme Court, whose members were elected with party support, to decide whether the measure stays on the ballot.

Then there’s the big disinformation campaign, on which millions will be spent to convince voters that the amendment is bad for them. Already, the state’s top Democrats are voicing disingenuous concerns that the measure could reduce minority representation.

Yes, we’re singling out the Democrats here. They’re the

Will Jed Bush run in 2016 election?

The presidential nomination race is frozen. The big money and the gritty organizers won’t make 2016 election commitments until the putative front-runner makes a move, in or out of the campaign. The deep freeze frustrates politicos, though the vast majority of Americans are happy not to talk about a fight for the White House just now.

It’s customary to apply that analysis to the Democratic contest, where former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham is considered the pacesetter of the race, if not the overwhelming favorite. But that critique applies as well to the Republicans, where a bunch of rookie politicians are angling for advantage but where the real contest won’t take form until former Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida decides whether to mount a campaign.

The result is an unusual and perhaps unique overture to a modern presidential election, with both major parties awaiting the decision of a major candidate.

There are only two possible analogues, and neither is quite as dramatic as the 2016 case.

One is 1952, when the parties awaited the decisions of President Harry Tru-

National perspective David M. Shribman man and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, though Truman lost the New Hampshire primary to Sen. Estes Kefauver of Tennessee and suffered from plunging poll results. The other is 1928, when Calvin Coolidge’s decision not to run for re-election threw the contest for the White House into paralysis until Gov. Al Smith of New York and Commerce Secretary Herbert Hoover formally decided to run.

This time the slow emergence of Bush, the son and brother of presidents, is the major factor shaping the GOP race.

As possible candidates such as Sens.

Ted Cruz of Texas and Rand Paul of Kentucky seek to establish their legitimacy, and while Gov. Chris Christie of New Jersey struggles to recover from the scandal on the George Washington bridge, Bush is positioned as something of a white knight: a mainstream profile for a party struggling for identity, an experienced campaigner amid near-am-

ateurs, a Catholic fluent in Spanish for a party increasingly reliant on the white Catholic vote (Mitt Romney won 59 percent in 2012) but dangerously unappealing for Latino voters (Romney took only 27 percent).

Here are the elements Bush and the Republican Party have to weigh for 2016: • The dynasty factor. There was a Bush or a Clinton on a national party ticket for the seven consecutive presidential elections between 1980 and 2004.

If either Bush or Clinton wins a nomination in 2016, that would mean that one or both families would have been on a major-party ticket in 80 percent of the American presidential elections since “M.A.S.H” was one of the nation’s leading television shows and Pink Floyd was one of the leading music groups.

“If we can’t find more that two or three families to run for high office,” Jeb Bush’s mother, Barbara Bush, said in January, “That’s silly.”

• The kinder, gentler factor. That phrase was popularized by Bush’s father, George H.W. Bush, but clearly Bush feels that impulse in his desire

Partisan redistricting doesn’t give Illinois voters a choice • MAPS Continued from page 22 ones who will fight this measure because they’re the ones who currently control the mapmaking process. House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton exploited that advantage to build supermajorities in both houses, but don’t kid yourself: Republicans would do the same thing if they held the pen. Their 1991 legislative maps are a fine argument in favor of independent redistricting.

Partisan redistricting is bad for Illinois, no matter who draws the maps. Voters have no choice, and therefore no voice, when their districts aren’t competitive. In the last general election, well over half of the legislative races were unopposed. Since 2001, more than 97 percent of incumbents seeking re-election have won.

Lawmakers who don’t have to worry about what happens on Election Day are not accountable to the voters they’re supposed to represent. They’re accountable to the party bosses who control those elections by sorting

voters into diabolically gerrymandered districts.

This would put the job in the hands of an 11-member commission. Any Illinois citizen could apply.

A nonpartisan panel appointed by the state auditor general would weed out lobbyists, public officials and others with conflicts of interest and pick 100 of the most qualified applicants. The pool would be required to reflect the state’s geographic and demographic diversity.

The four legislative leaders could each strike up to five of those names. Seven members – two Republicans, two Democrats and three independents – would be chosen by lottery, and legislative leaders would each pick another.

So the mapmaking team would include four Democrats, four Republicans and three independents. Maps would have to be approved by seven votes, of which at least two must be Democrat, two Republican and two independent.

The entire process would be open to the public, from beginning to end.

He will not have an easy time in the Republican primaries, but the size of the field may work to his advantage; the others, representatives of the strain of muscular conserva-

tism that has become so prominent in the modern GOP, plus some representatives of the religious right, such as former Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania or former Gov. Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, may split the vote and allow someone to win Iowa with as little as 26 percent.

If he runs in the general election against Clinton, he will portray her as a standard-bearer for a third Clinton term – or, even less

appealing, for a third Obama term. If Clinton or some other Democrat runs against him, she or he will portray Bush as a standard-bearer for a third term of his brother. The voters don’t want either of those things. Just as important, the two legacy candidates don’t either.

for a change in the tone of American politics. In his remarks last week at an event honoring the senior President Bush at Texas A&M University, Bush spoke of a “hopeful, optimistic message.”

That sentiment differs little from what his brother, thenGov. George W. Bush of Texas, expressed in his 2000 race and from what Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois voiced in his 2008 race.

But Bush made an unusually strong appeal to his own party to abandon heated rhetoric and divisiveness.

He has viewed this shrillness firsthand – as his father was

ridiculed for being obtuse and unfeeling in the 1992 campaign and as his brother was pilloried in the last years of his administration and attacked in 2008 even though he was not on the ballot.

“Campaigns ought to be about listening and learning and getting better,” Bush said.

“I do think we’ve lost our way.” He made it clear that he was unwilling to engage in what he characterized as the “mud fight” aspect of American politics.

If Bush senses that the 2016 race will be more mud than meaning, he will likely step away from the race.

BASEBALL: PLAINFIELD SOUTH 5, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 3

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Friday, April 18, 2014

PLAINFIELD – Almost everything about Shane Ritter’s performance on the mound for Plainfield South was unconventional. But, the Cougars will take it all season long if the results are like they were Thursday in a 5-3 win over Southwest Prairie Conference rival Plainfield Central.

After starting the game in the windup, Ritter worked exclusively from the stretch from the second inning on.

And, in four of the five innings he started, the first opposing hitter reached base.

The odd thing: the only inning in which he retired the leadoff hitter was the only inning in which Central scored.

In fact, Ritter retired the first two batters of that inning, and had an 0-2 count on the third before the Wildcats rallied for three runs.

“I didn’t have very good command in the windup,” Ritter said about the switch to the stretch. “After I went to the stretch, I had better movement on my curveball and on my changeup.”

Despite allowing the first batter to reach in each of the first four innings, Ritter sailed through them.

He hit Danny Brandon with his first pitch in the first inning, but he was forced out on a grounder by Christian Armstrong. Ritter walked Matt Manetta to lead off the second, but pinch-runner Austin Wietendorf was picked off by South catcher Roman Stewart.

In the third, Nate Paprota walked to lead off, but two straight force outs kept anyone out of scoring position.

Losing pitcher Matt Ryan walked to lead off the fourth, but Ritter started a double play on a comebacker by the next hitter.

“Shane has struggled to find his control a little bit so far this year,” South coach Phil Bodine said. “He had never pitched before last year, and we kept him in the stretch all year. Fewer moving parts. He used the wind-

The Cougars (5-6, 3-2 SPC) staked Ritter to a lead in the second.

With two outs, Matt Taller singled, and No. 9 hitter Austin Male did the same. When Male’s single got by the Central right fielder, Taller came all the way around to score for a 1-0 lead.

South scored twice more in the fourth, when Taller delivered an RBI single and scored when Male reached on an error.

Another run crossed in the fifth when Tyler Dickey, who had singled, scored on an error to make it 4-0.

“We don’t really have a top or bottom to our lineup,” Bodine said. “Everyone is pretty much the same and they have to hit somewhere.

We have a DH batting ninth, if that tells you anything.

They guys who have been in the lower part of the lineup have been doing that for us

all year.”

After two were out in the fifth, the Wildacts finally got something going.

Josh Tesh singled, Brandon was hit by a pitch and Armstrong singled to load the bases.

Ryan then cleared the bases with a double to right-center to make it 4-3 and chase Ritter from the mound. Enrique Perez retired the only batter he faced to get out of the inning.

In the top of the sixth, Ritter re-entered to hit for himself with runners on first and second and two outs. He smacked a double to right to provide South with an insurance run.

“I was seeing curveballs all series, and I got one that stayed up,” he said. “It was big to get a run back there.”

South’s Ryan McQueen threw two scoreless innings to nail down the Cougars’ second straight win against Plainfield Central.

SOFTBALL: LOCKPORT 13, JOLIET CENTRAL 2 (5 INN.)

Lockport offense clicks in win over Joliet Central

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, April 18, 2014

26

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – While Lockport’s softball team had already received its share of good pitching and defense this season, coach Marissa Chovanec was waiting for the offense to click.

After putting up some big numbers during the past week, it seems safe to say that the Porters’ hitting is starting to come together.

Lockport’s latest outburst came Thursday when it was slapping the ball all around Joliet Central’s field in a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue Division game.

The Porters used an eightrun fourth to help them capture a 13-2 win in five innings over the Steelmen, who only lost 3-2 to Stagg the previous day in their league opener.

“Last Saturday we had 17 hits against St. Charles East and also hit the ball well against New Trier, and yesterday we made good, solid contact against a good pitcher from Bolingbrook,” Chovanec said. “I like how we’re hitting so we want to keep putting the ball into play and continue getting good pitching and catching in the field.

“I like where we’re at going into this weekend, when we play twice on Saturday in our Strike Out Cancer games against Peotone and Downers Grove South.”

The Porters (7-3, 2-0) struck in their initial at-bat as Kelly Pattison started things with a single and one out later, Gabby Voulgaris smacked her second home run of the year.

Lockport scored three times in the third inning af-

ter its first two hitters were retired. Alli Howard singled home Sidney Bottino, and Haylie Arndt and Howard came home on a double by Halle Hollatz.

In the next frame, the visitors sent a dozen batters to the plate and collected seven hits. Pattison scored the first run while Jordan Arndt was in a rundown and Arndt later came home on an error.

Zara Voulgaris scored on an infield hit by Justine Cielinski, and Kayln Putman tallied on a single by Hollatz.

A single by Sara Koniewicz drove in Madison Fink, and Cielinski and Pattison doubled to bring home Hollatz and Koniewicz.

“We’re finally starting to get the bats going,” Gabby Voulgaris said. “I think everybody throughout the order got

a base hit yesterday, and that was awesome. We’re kind of an obnoxious team in the dugout, but I feel that it helps us play good since we’re relaxed.

After the way things ended for us last year, we want to come out on top this season.”

Although the Steelmen had every reason to be down following the big fourth inning, they continued to battle and nearly assured that the game would last a bit longer.

After Emily Eichholzer drew a walk in the fourth, Rosa Gonzalez smashed a shot onto the Rock Island tracks for her team’s initial hit on the contest.

But the two Porters pitchers didn’t allow much else during the contest. Starter Grace Lancman didn’t allow a hit and struck out seven in three innings, while reliever

Putman gave up just two hits and fanned six in her two innings of work.

Brenna Rande retired all five Porters that she faced in a relief role, but Central was unable to keep the game past the fifth inning.

Following a pair of onerun losses, Steelmen coach Erin Douglas realized that her squad just ran into a buzzsaw against the Porters.

“We’ve been playing well defensively and our bats were starting to come around, and we were being more aggressive,” Douglas said. “You have to hand it to Lockport since they hit the ball very well.

One of our girls’ strengths is that they always try to stay up no matter what the score is. Whether they’re on the field or in the dugout, they’re cheering.”

SOFTBALL: WILMINGTON 8, COAL CITY 6

Wilmington holds on to early lead to defeat Coal City

By MARK JOHNSON mjohnson@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Wilmington softball took an early lead and added just enough to it to hold off a late-charging Coal City team, 8-6, Thursday in Interstate Eight Conference.

Coal City actually outhit Wilmington, 10-6, but the Coalers made seven of the game’s 10 errors.

“It was an ugly game all around,” Wilmington coach Jack Skole said. “It was more or less not us beating them but them kind of helping us win, and the same could have been said if they could have beat us.”

Wilmington (4-4, 2-1 Interstate Eight) scored twice in the top half of the first, with one run coming home on a wild pitch, and another doing so on a Kate Johnston RBI groundout. The damage may have been worse had the Coalers not turned a 6-3-5 double play to end the inning.

A total of six unearned runs came home for the Wildcats in the third, fourth, sixth

Coal City pitcher Emily Aichele delivers a pitch during Thursday’s Interstate Eight Conference home softball game against Wilmington. Wilmington won, 8-6. and seventh innings. Singles

by Ashley Adermann and Miranda Southall started their two-run rally in the third, and they plated single runs in the other three innings.

“We’re struggling defensively as a team,” Coal City

coach Stephanie Harmon said. “We’re a very young team, and I think digging ourselves holes, it’s really hard to get back out of that. We’re really struggling with that right now.”

Coal City (3-6, 1-2) threat-

ened in the first, when Taylor Meents hit a leadoff single, getting to second on an error on the play. A sacrifice bunt

by Carly Pavlis put Meents at third with one out, but Southall kept her stranded there.

Pavlis’s bunt was the first

of nine straight outs made by the Coalers – a streak she ended with a single leading off their half of the fourth.

The Coalers finally broke through in the sixth. With one out, Pavlis and Makenna Emerson singled. Southall got a second out, before Abbey Spasia opened the floodgates with a two-run single.

Emily Aichele and Leah Campos followed with an RBI single and an RBI double, respectively. Southall hit Mady Bunton with a pitch before getting a groundout to end the inning.

Two more runs came across, with the help of three Wilmington errors, in the bottom of the seventh before Southall finally put the Coalers away with the tying run on base.

“Offensively, it has not been a problem for us. We tend to score runs,” Harmon said. “Defensively is where we need to work on.”

Aichele took the loss, even though just two of the runs she allowed were earned. She had three strikeouts.

When Kerry Wood pitched for the Cubs in 2001, he put together a string of 16 starts where he allowed five or fewer hits.

That was the major league record for consecutive starts of that nature dating back almost a century, when someone decided it would be a good idea to keep game-bygame logs.

Miami Marlins’ young sensation Jose Fernandez passed Wood in that department earlier this month, but he lost his streak last week when he allowed eight hits in four innings against Philadelphia.

However, neither Fernandez nor Wood now owns the relatively obscure record.

That distinction belongs to Lincoln-Way Central graduate Tony Cingrani, the Cincinnati Reds’ ace left-hander.

Including his three outings this season, Cingrani has made 21 starts in his career and has yet to allow more than five hits.

Yes, his streak began in his first major league start last April.

The Cubs will take their best shot at spoiling the run Saturday when Cingrani is scheduled to start against them at Wrigley Field.

In his three starts in 2014, Cingrani is 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA. He has allowed 10 hits and nine walks while striking out 20 in 171⁄3 innings.

His story is among a few that suggest this will be an interesting season to follow Joliet area players throughout the professional ranks.

For example, right-hander Tanner Roark (Wilmington) had been scheduled to start the Washington Nationals’

against the Mets, he missed out on starting the home opener.

In three starts, Roark is 1-0 with a 5.29 ERA. He had a rough outing against Atlanta, but his other two efforts were quality starts. In 17 innings, he has allowed 18 hits and six walks while striking out 13.

Infielder Dean Anna (Lincoln-Way East), meanwhile, has made several appearances, either at shortstop or second base, for the Yankees and is hitting .158 (3 for 19) in his rookie season.

His three hits include his first home run and first double.

On the minor league level, Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) is pitching for Houston’s Triple-A affiliate at Oklahoma City. He is 1-1 with a 7.50 ERA. In two starts and four total appearances, the Astros’ 2010 first-round draft pick has allowed 15 hits and seven walks while striking out 12.

He had two difficult appearances in succession but his last outing, a start, was excellent.

Zach Petrick (Morris, Joliet Junior College) is pitching for Springfield, St. Louis’ Double-A team, and is 2-0 with a 0.48 ERA. In 182⁄3 innings, the Cardinals’ 2013 Minor League Pitcher of the Year has yielded nine hits and five walks while striking out 15.

Tony Bucciferro (Minooka) is pitching for the White Sox’s A-Advanced team at Winston-Salem and is 0-1 with a 3.00 ERA over two starts covering 12 innings. He has allowed 12 hits and one walk and has struck out five.

Outfielder Joe Benson (Joliet Catholic) is playing for Double-A Jacksonville in the Miami organization and is hitting .257 (9 for 35) with two doubles, one home run and four RBIs. Outfielder John Ruettiger (Joliet Catholic) is playing for Double-A Bowie in the Baltimore organization and is hitting .176 (3 for 17) with one RBI.

VIEWS Tom Musick a Stanley Cup championship on his résumé, and it would take a serious injury or a Lindsay Lohan-caliber meltdown in order for Raanta to leave his perch on the bench.

So Raanta must have arrived to the Scottrade Center hoping not to play, right? Because, if he did leave his spot on the bench, that would have meant something terrible had happened to Crawford?

“Well, of course,” Raanta said. “You never want anything to happen, but you never know. Hockey is a fast game and there are lots of things that can happen. But I don’t want to start thinking those things.

“I just try to go to practice and be the best goalie and try to push Corey higher and higher. Hopefully, Corey will play great games like he was playing last year. Hopefully, I can help the team in practice.

“Well, you never know what happens. So I don’t want to start thinking too much, those things.”

It was too late.

Raanta was thinking about the possibility of leaving the bench to become the Hawks’ most important player at a moment’s notice. He was thinking about his confidence in himself to rise to the occasion if necessary. He was thinking about his rookie regular season.

“Always, you can think of [your] games and what you can do better,” Raanta said.

“Maybe December was a little bit better than the last couple months. Maybe my game was a little bit better in that time.

There were a little bit of ups and downs in the last few games.

“But it’s still the first year. I don’t know if I can make those mistakes, but you have to make mistakes to learn more. … There are still lots of things to do to be at the top level here.

But we are in the playoffs, so I can’t be too disappointed.”

Instead, Raanta can be happy.

This time of year is the exact reason why Raanta signed a one-year deal with the Hawks last summer.

“I knew that this organization was at a high level and there’s always a chance to go all the way,” Raanta said.

“That was one of the reasons why I picked this team. Now, I have been here almost a year, [and] it has been just as great as I was thinking. Everything – the whole organization – everybody has been helping me and everybody has been trying to make my job as easy as possible.”

But now Raanta has a hard assignment.

Sit still, but stay sharp.

In the meantime, enjoy the front-row seat.

ST. LOUIS – A year ago at this time, Antti Raanta was sitting on a couch on the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean.

It was a big couch, but not as big as the ocean. Still, it was comfortable, which allowed Raanta to park in front of his television and watch the Blackhawks’ run to a Stanley Cup title.

“Good seats,” Raanta said with a laugh.

Anyone with a high-definition TV knows the feeling.

Now, Raanta has an especially good seat. Front row, near center ice. And he gets paid to sit there.

No wonder the 24-year-old Finland native is smiling as if he just won a dream vacation.

“Of course, my first NHL playoffs,” Raanta said. “It’s really nice.”

It’s a lot of things, as Hawks fans know well. Yes, the postseason can be really nice, and it also can be really infuriating, really uplifting, really terrifying or really perfect.

Usually all in the same series.

Most of all, the playoffs can be really unpredictable.

That’s why it was important to check in on Raanta before the Hawks played the St. Louis Blues on Thursday in Game 1 of the Western Conference quarterfinals. As the backup goaltender, he was the only player on the team who was active and in uniform but would not be expected to log one second of ice time.

Nothing about this situation was controversial. Corey Crawford is the Hawks’ clearcut No. 1 starter in net and has

Get a Jeep Wrangler ‘to go’ … anywhere

T

he iconic Jeep Wrangler has been honored – again -- for 2014 with two Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards: Top 10 and Compact SUV/Crossover. It also was named “Hottest 4x4-SUV” in November at the 2013 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) trade show in Las Vegas.

There are good reasons.

Wrangler’s body-on-frame ruggedness, outstanding four-wheel drive and six-speed manual or five-speed automatic transmissions are among a host of features that set it apart. There are also versions and trim levels to make it “your” Wrangler.

The “traditional” two-door Wrangler is available in Sport, Sahara and Rubicon trim levels, and the four-door Unlimited is the only four-door 4x4 SUV convertible on the market. Unlimited is also offered in the three trim levels.

The Wrangler body bears the signature round headlights, seven-slot grille, removable doors and fold-down windshield.

A new Wrangler Trail Rated kit is offered, which adds a durable tow strap and two heavy-duty D-rings. Towing capacity ranges up to 3,500 pounds, properly equipped. Driver and passengers also have the means stay tuned in and connected, with available Uconnect systems, including voice recognition, Bluetooth streaming audio, navigation and SiriusXM satellite radio.

Wrangler offers many options for top configurations, from soft to body-color three-piece hard tops. A revised soft top on the Unlimited models makes it easier to raise and lower by one person. New seats have been re-contoured and feature larger bolsters; and there is an auto-dimming mirror with LED map lighting, new interior light-

ing, available Alpine speakers and a premium tire pressure monitoring system.

and the alternator is up high so Wrangler can maintain its water-fording capability.

Chrysler Group’s 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 engine delivers 285 horsepower and up to 21 miles per gallon. Its torque band focuses on low-end torque, essential for extreme off-roading. The oil sump provides oil to the pump even at extreme vehicle angles,

Great cargo volume numbers come in at 31.5 cubic feet of open room behind the rear seat upright, and a large 70.6 cubic feet in the Unlimited behind front seat when rear seatbacks are folded flat.

‘The most versatile band in the world’ Joliet American Legion Band to play spring concert April 27 in Romeoville

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

n What: Joliet American Legion

Band concert n When: 7 p.m. April 27 n Where: St. Charles Borromeo Performance Center, Route 53 and Airport Road, Romeoville n Cost: Concert is free. Free will offering accepted. n Contact: John Herder at 815715-8414 or Lois Henning at 708308-5432. Visit www.jolietlegionband.org for information.

dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Nothing relieves stress like blowing hot air through a long brass tube.

So said Steve Knoderer of Serena, euphonium player, for the Joliet American Legion Band. Playing the opening day at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in the pouring rain is one of his most memorable events; performing at the Rialto Square Theater in Joliet was the most thrilling, he said.

“I am not the most talented musician in the band, but the opportunity to learn about music and to develop as a musician is very rewarding,” Knoderer said. “The musical selection of this band rarely fails to move me. The power this band plays with is matched by few bands anywhere.”

The Joliet American Legion Band, which its musical director and conductor Tom Drake of Lockport called “the most versatile band in the world,” has a new rehearsal home at the Joliet Area Historical Museum. The band will perform its spring concert April 27 at the St. Charles Borromeo Performance Center in Romeoville. “[The museum] is just a great place to be,” said John Herder of Frankfort, band president. “Downtown Joliet is very convenient for our members; there’s plenty of parking, and we’re treated very well.”

The concept of starting a Joliet American Legion Band originated during World War II when two Joliet men, Archie McAllister Jr. and Bill Austin, were serving together on a small island in the South Pacific, Drake said.

Their goal was to – after the war – form a band of Joliet musicians, led by Archie McAllister Sr., McAllister’s father and director of the Joliet Township High School Band.

Unfortunately, the senior McAllister died before the

The band will perform at the St. Charles Borromeo Performance Center in Romeoville on April 27. band’s inception, so McAllister formed it as a memorial to his father and served as its first director, Drake said.

In 1946, as a way to continue Joliet High School Band’s competitive tradition, members “donned their service uniforms” and entered their first state American Legion contest, Drake said.

McAllister continued as band director until 1963, when illness dictated he step down, Drake said. Drake, assistant conductor since 1956, then took McAllister’s place. Drake said the Joliet American Legion Band has three components: concert, marching and symphonic.

“No other band in the world does all three to the extent that we do,” Drake said.

The band features members with wide age ranges, from Drake’s granddaughter, Mallory Drake of Lockport, who had played with the band when she was 14, to several World War II veterans in their 90s, Herder said.

“We used to say 18 to 81,” Herder said, “but if your par-

ents are in the band, you can come in anytime.”

Band members who rehearse every Tuesday evening and play at performances vary, Herder said. Rehearsal attendance averages around 50, although not the same 50. When college students are home and available, that number can swell to 70, Herder said.

Membership requirements are modest; the community is welcome to join.

“We have an audition sheet that is devised to demonstrate that you, basically, can play an instrument,” Drake said.

“That’s all we ask. The material is not super difficult.”

Drake recalled two incidents that led to national exposure when the band was invited to perform at the opening of the International Cycling Championships in Colorado Springs in 1986.

First, the U.S. Air Force withdrew its offer to fly the band to Colorado Springs, so Bob Hope, master of ceremonies for the opening ceremony, contacted American Airlines and arranged for the band’s

flight in and out, at no cost to the band, Drake said.

Then, after two evening news commentators said it was impossible because of the altitude, the Joliet American Legion Band played “America the Beautiful” “in the clouds at the top of Pike’s Peak,” Drake said.

Rick Ellenberger of Champaign, a Desert Storm veteran who has played the French horn nearly his entire life, arrives at rehearsals via train, because “it’s cheaper than driving,” points to Drake as his reason for belonging to the band.

“I’ve played with a lot of conductors. He’s the best,” Ellenberger said. “He’s a musician, he’s a showman, he’s a patriot.”

Bob Picha of Havana has played clarinet in the band for more than 54 years, partly because of Picha’s Joliet musical heritage. Picha said his grandfather, educated in Prague, came to Joliet around 1900 after he was hired to play in the former Dellwood Park Band. Picha himself played

According to band music director and conductor Tom Drake, the Joliet American Legion Band: • Performs 35 to 40 times a year.

• Rehearses approximately 250 hours a year.

• Members spend about $1000 each per year for travel, equipment, uniform parts.

• Has won 42 state titles, 36 national titles, one international gold medal and one honorary national title. The band has lost the national title only four times in 40 concerts.

• Has played for three United States presidents and numerous vice presidents.

• Has traveled more than a million miles to contests, concerts and parades in the U.S. and Canada.

• Is financed primarily through out of town performance fees and contributions to the Joliet Memorial Band Endowment Fund.

• Donates 10 percent of each paying performance into the Ray Chapman Scholarship Fund to provide scholarships for high school graduate band members. in the Joliet Township High School Band. Two daughters also played in the Joliet American Legion Band, he said, “clarinet, because I was their teacher.”

Knoderer’s daughter, flutist Alyssa Urbaseky of Yorkville, joined the band in 1997 when she was 17. Urbaseky appreciates the family connection, Drake and the band’s core group of dedicated musicians.

“They keep me coming back,” Urbaseky said.

“Heaven is for Real”

STARRING: John C. Reilly PLOT: A documentary that follows

STARRING: Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly,

an Alaskan bear family as its young cubs are taught life’s most important lessons.

RATED: G TIME: 1 hour, 17 minutes VERDICT: Keenly following the scent of “African Cats” and “Chimpanzees,” Disneynature’s “Bears” combines sweeping vistas and remarkably intimate wildlife photography to typically stirring effect as it documents a year in the life of a mother Alaskan brown bear and her two cubs. Save for some particularly playful narration provided by John C. Reilly, the ilm, clocking in at a tidy 77 minutes, adheres closely to the successful blueprint irst laid out by 2007’s “Earth,” pitting a wildlife family unit against the not necessarily nurturing elements. Released just ahead of Earth Day, “Bears” could snuggle up handsomely with family audiences looking for some holiday weekend adventure, although it will have to ight for a share of the turf claimed a week earlier by the exotic birds of Fox’s “Rio 2.”

Co-directed by Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey, who previously teamed on “African Cats,” the adventure takes place along the breathtaking Alaskan peninsula, where irst-time mom Sky and her two tiny cubs, Amber and Scout, have emerged from hibernation and need to start addressing the food situation. For a baby bear, getting to that sustenance isn’t exactly a piece of cake, what with avalanches and predatory animals to deal with, including some of their own kind, like Magnus, the dominant alpha male in their neighborhood, and Chinook, a very hungry outcast who constantly poses a threat to clingy Amber and mischievous Scout.

By now it’s a familiar tale of one family’s survival instinct, but it’s hard not to cuddle up to a cute cub, and all that fearlessly up-close-andpersonal footage, set extensively against that untouched Alaskan coastline, nevertheless makes for a compelling excursion. The inherent drama is boosted by George Fenton’s seriously symphonic score and contrasts with those delightfully loose, animated voiceovers courtesy of Reilly, a big teddy bear of an actor if ever there was one.

PLOT: A small-town father must ind

– The Associated Press

Thomas Haden Church the courage and conviction to share his son’s extraordinary, life-changing experience with the world.

RATED: PG for thematic material, including some medical situations TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes VERDICT: Continuing the recent trend of faith-based ilms, including “Noah” and “Son of God,” ‘’Heaven Is for Real” is a sweet tale based on a 4-year-old boy’s account of his trip to heaven that’s likely to please the devout, but won’t entice religious cynics. There’s little doubt the T.D. Jakes-produced adaptation of Todd Burpo’s Christian non-iction best-seller will have a built-in audience, especially on Easter weekend.

After undergoing harrowing surgery for a ruptured appendix, young Colton Burpo (Connor Corum) begins recalling his journey for his family: Angels carried him to heaven where he met Jesus (played

by Mike Mohrhardt, whose face we never quite see), as well as God, Colton’s great-grandfather and the miscarried sister he never knew he had. Such talk frightens his older sister (Lane Styles) and worries his pastor father, Todd (Greg Kinnear), and mother, Sonja (Kelly Reilly).

As Colton becomes more verbal about his supposed encounter, the local paper in the small Nebraska town starts reporting the story.

This leads some members of Todd’s congregation (Thomas Haden Church and Margo Martindale) to turn against the Burpo family.

Though Todd sticks up for his son, his faith is also tested. But Todd is captivated, as we are, by his son’s innocence – especially when Colton tells him things he couldn’t possibly know, such as how he saw his parents cope, each in their own way, during his near-fatal surgery.

As Colton, Corum does an excellent job of speaking softly, yet with conviction, and holding his gaze so we have time to study his sparkling blue eyes. But it’s the casting of Kinnear that offers the ilm’s strongest chance at transcending the faith-based demographic, as the actor never fails to embody the everyman. Many of the Burpo family’s struggles mirror those of others in the heartland, and effectively so.

But in the way of gripping dialogue, Kinnear doesn’t have much to work with. We might have expected

more from writer-director Randall Wallace, who brought us the Oscar-nominated “Braveheart.” But the material is pretty cookie-cutter and more typical of an afterschool special. However, Wallace and co-writer Chris Parker do a good job of weaving in moments that should appeal to a mass audience. Kinnear and Reilly’s chemistry also offers a favorable element. It’s no surprise that faith, hope and family prevail in this one. After all, says Todd in one of his sermons, “In the end, it’s about not feeling alone.”

“Oculus” STARRING: Karen Gillan, Brenton Thwaites, Katee Sackhoff

PLOT: A woman tries to exonerate her brother, who was convicted of murder, by proving that the crime was committed by a supernatural phenomenon.

RATED: R for terror, violence, some disturbing images and brief language TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes

VERDICT: Tightly paced between two time periods, and edited so they become a blur, “Oculus” is a hallucinatory ghost story that packs serious punch. In the present, we have Tim (Brenton Thwaites), getting out of a mental hospital at age 21, having shot his father dead 10 years earlier.

Greeting him is his slightly older sister, Kaylie (Karen Gillan), who grew up in foster homes after the killing.

Tim has been told everything he remembers about the shooting is false.

Kaylie is there to remind him of the truth. And so we go back 10 years, when young Tim (Garrett Ryan) and young Kaylie (Annalise Basso) are moving into a new house with their father (Rory Cochrane) and mother (Katee Sackhoff). Dad has bought

an antique mirror for his ofice. That mirror, or what it contains, starts driving Dad mad. In the present, Kaylie has found the mirror and brought it back to their old house.

In an effort to prove it’s haunted she has rigged the place with all sorts of monitors and cameras. So while Dad is going crazy and Mom is under ire and the kids are terriied in the past, the grown kids are confronting the demon mirror in the present. None of this seems likely to end well. Yes, there’s a bit of blood and Sackhoff takes some terrible turns here, but “Oculus” is haunting because it messes with your head. That’s where the ghosts are.

“Transcendence” STARRING: Johnny Depp, Morgan Freeman, Rebecca Hall

PLOT: As Dr. Will Caster works toward his goal of creating an omniscient, sentient machine, a radical anti-technology organization ights to prevent him from establishing a world where computers can transcend the abilities of the human brain.

RATED: PG-13 for sci-i action and violence, some bloody images, brief strong language and sensuality TIME: 1 hour, 59 minutes

VERDICT: HAL has come a long way.

First, we had Scarlett Johansson as a human-like operating system. Now, Johnny Depp has been uploaded.

If the singularity – when artificial intelligence surpasses human smarts – is indeed coming, at least it has decent taste in movie star avatars.

First-time director Wally Pfister’s “Transcendence” isn’t so much the “Him” to Spike Jonze’s “Her” as it’s a more dystopian vision of the meeting of human consciousness and computer intelligence. “Transcendence” is clunky

and lifeless. It’s like the movie version of a paranoid TED talk. In the early scenes of “Transcendence,” Dr. Will Caster (a disappointingly sleepy Depp) is a TED-style master of the universe, speaking confidently in front of large video screens to eager listeners about neurology and artificial intelligence.

But there are also protesters to his potentially all-powerful invention: the Physically Independent Neural Network (PINN), an early artificial intelligence propelled by a room full of computers that Caster believes could, among other things, cure cancer. An assassination attempt with a radiation-laced bullet leaves Caster with weeks to live. Desperate to keep his mind alive, his loyal, sycophantic wife and fellow researcher Evelyn (Rebecca Hall) uploads Caster’s brain to a PC with PINN hardware. Helping her is their good friend and colleague Max (Paul Bettany, serving as narrator).

But as anyone with an iPhone knows, software updates can be tragic. The transfer is finished just as Caster dies.

Soon enough, the screen flickers to life, first with a few typed words and then seemingly Caster’s full personality, in voice and pixel form. Alert to their plan, anti-tech activists (led by Kate Mara) are simultaneously descending. In the chaos, Max begins to realize they’ve created a high-speed Frankenstein – an epiphany lost on the mourning Evelyn, who flees after uploading Caster to the Internet. He immediately spreads across the Web (he calls Evelyn on her phone) and begins seeking more computing power. It takes a long time for “Transcendence” to build to this moment, when perhaps it should have begun here in the first place. But it feels like a suddenly intriguing crossroads.

Just as in science, noble intentions can lead talented artistic minds astray, too.

VERDICT: “Sabotage” opens with

“Sabotage” STARRING: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Sam Worthington, Terrance Howard PLOT: Members of an elite DEA task force ind themselves being taken down by one after they rob a drug cartel safe house.

RATED: R for strong bloody violence, pervasive language, some sexuality/nudity and drug use.

TIME: 1 hour, 49 minutes

Arnold Schwarzenegger, as drug enforcement agent John “Breacher” Wharton, sitting in front of his computer screen watching a video of a woman being tortured. He’s obviously disturbed by it, judging by the look on his craggy face.

It’s a nasty, brutish job he has.

By the time the movie was over, I shared his dismay. After that brief, if intensely unpleasant prologue, the movie quickly gets down to its own dirty business, jumping to a scene of Breacher as he leads his team of elite commandos in a

bloody assault on a drug dealer’s compound. Although the violence ebbs and lows, it never stops.

That’s to be expected in a ilm by David Ayer, the writer of “Training Day” (2001) and the writer-director of “End of Watch” (2012).

Both of those ilms presented a vision of law enforcement that was more savage than noble. Unlike them, however, “Sabotage” lacks any degree of artistic perspective on the barbarity. One by one, the members of Breacher’s squad start turning up dead, the victims of murders as grisly as they are

frank portrayal honestly relects the rough-and-tumble culture of steam-blowing machismo that permeates the high-stress world of SWAT teams. While that might be true, it ain’t pretty. Frankly, it shouldn’t be. This is a story that needs blood to make an impact because its message is murky.

With a motivation that feels disturbingly similar to that of the guy who made the torture video that opens the ilm, “Sabotage” doesn’t exactly glorify violence, but it certainly does get off on it.

A repeat bid and different play

CELEBRITY CIPHER

George Saunders, who is a professor at Syracuse University and has won the National Magazine Award for fiction four times, said, “I’m always aware of writing around things I can’t do, and I’ve come to think that that’s actually what ‘style’ is – an avoidance of your deficiencies.”

A publisher once told me always to write about things that I know. He and Saunders are clearly in agreement.

Over the last three days, we have looked at the overcalls that vary in meaning when made in the fourth seat instead of the second seat. A one-no-trump overcall is weak, not strong; a single jump overcall in a suit is intermediate, not weak; and a two-no-trump overcall is natural, not unusual – as in today’s deal.

South’s balancing jump to two no-trump showed a balanced hand with some 20-21 points (or slightly fewer points with a good six-card minor). North might have advanced with three clubs, Stayman, to look for a 4-4 spade fit.

After West leads the heart queen, how should South plan the play?

Declarer has six top tricks: two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. If South immediately concedes a club, West will clear hearts and defeat the contract when in with the spade ace.

As West is marked with the spade ace from his opening bid, South should start with a low spade from his hand. If West goes in with the ace, declarer has nine tricks via three spades, two hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. If West ducks, South wins with dummy’s spade king and switches to clubs. This time, he takes one spade, two hearts, two diamonds and four clubs.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips don’t think anyone in the world can match him.

As it turns out, I did myself a huge favor. Everything else – trust, compromise and honesty – is important in a relationship, but if there is no respect, it falls apart.

That is what happened to me.

Abby, am I correct about respect being the most important aspect of a partnership? – Deserving In Salt Lake City Dear Deserving: I think so, and I’m sure most readers will agree. When people respect each other, it follows that there will be honesty, trust and a willingness to compromise. Without these components, relationships usually don’t last – or they shouldn’t.

Dear Abby: My wife and I spent a lot of money flying to our grandnephew’s bar mitzvah. We stayed in a hotel and spent the weekend celebrating with the family.

During the last event, a Sunday brunch, my wife was approached by her penny-pinching sister – the grandmother – who asked her to co-sponsor the brunch. My wife, who is naive regarding financial matters, agreed without consulting me.

A few days later, we received an email with an amount that is far more than I want to pay. Had I known in advance, we would have skipped the brunch. How should we proceed? – On The Hook In Austin Dear On The Hook: Your sisterin-law is a walking definition of the word “chutzpah.” Your wife was wrong to obligate you without first making sure you agreed. That said, you have two choices: Refuse to share the cost of the brunch, which will embarrass your wife and cause hard feelings in the family, or grit your teeth, write a check and hope your wife has learned an expensive lesson.

Time-out must be enforced to be effective Dear Doctor K: You’ve mentioned time-outs as an appropriate way to discipline young children. But they don’t work for my son, at least the way I’m doing them. What can I do differently?

Dear Reader: When children are young, discipline means teaching them self-control and the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behaviors. One way to do this is with a time-out.

The technique doesn’t work well for kids younger than 18 months. After that age, however, your child can increasingly understand what you are saying.

Explaining to the child calmly what he did wrong adds to the effectiveness of the time-out.

A time-out involves taking a “break” away from a difficult situation and spending time in a less appealing place. A timeout is a chance for your son to cool down and think about his behavior.

The following tips may help make your son’s time-outs more effective: • Know when to use one. Timeouts are most useful for aggressive, harmful or disruptive behaviors, such as hitting, kicking, biting or throwing things – all behaviors that cannot be ignored.

That’s because a time-out teaches

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff peaceful problem solving. Timeouts are usually less effective for behaviors that can be ignored, such as temper tantrums or whining.

• Make sure you mean it when you say it. A time-out rarely works if you threaten to use it without following through. Once you’ve decided to give one, no amount of apologizing, tears or negotiation should change that decision.

• Make sure a time-out is actually happening. A time-out must be enforced so that it actually happens. If your child refuses to stay in time-out, place him in the time-out chair and hold him gently but firmly by the shoulders from behind for the duration of time-out. There should be no discussion or negotiation during this time. Don’t sit in the time-out chair yourself and hold the child on your lap. That’s fine to do as positive reinforcement when the child is behaving well.

But not when he’s been misbehaving and needs some negative feedback.

• Make sure the place is right.

Remember that time-out works because it removes your child from his favorite activities and takes him away from your attention. Make sure the time-out chair is in a boring place, where your son cannot see the television or other people.

Sometimes a time-out will be necessary when you and your child are not in your home.

Wherever you are, perhaps in a shopping mall, be sure that the location you choose for the time-out will be really boring for your child. An important part of making a time-out effective is making it boring, as kids hate to be bored, even more than we do.

• Make sure time-out doesn’t last too long. Do not keep your child in time-out for more than one minute for each year of age (for example, about three minutes for a 3-year-old).

• Finally, praise good behavior. Make sure your child knows that he will get more attention from you for positive behaviors than for negative behaviors.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. Visit www.AskDoctorK. com to send questions and get additional information.

I am 19 years old and currently serving a fouryear sentence in the Missouri Department of Corrections. So that I won’t bore you with the terrible details of how I got here, I’ll just say it in one word – drugs.

I have written a poem and hope you will print it. It’s from my heart and intended for every teen who reads your column. I don’t want them to end up like me.

“Listen” I’m sending a message to the young who are free.

Stay away from drugs, or you’ll end up just like me.

For I have lost this freedom, Four years tossed down the drain.

For I have lived my life as if it were a game.

“Where did we go wrong?” I’ve heard my parents say, But it’s not their fault, it’s only mine, and now I’m going to pay.

Drugs are not the way to go, they’ll only cause you grief, They’ll cause you to do things you know are wrong, I know because I’m a thief.

Some may take this as a joke, but let me set you straight, Prison is not the place to be, it’s full of tears and hate.

It’s a lonely place to spend your life and time goes by so slow, So, teens, please listen to what I say so to prison you’ll never go.

I’ve nothing left to end this rhyme, So I’ll go back to filling holes in time. – By John, Boonville, Mo. Dear John: Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts with our young readers.

Dr. Wallace: My mother is a perfection-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace ist. When she’s not perfect, she really gets depressed. She keeps telling me I should be a perfectionist, too.

What are your views on perfectionists? – Rachel, St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

Dear Rachel: Striving to excel in school, at sports or on the job is a worthy and satisfying way to live, but there’s a fine line between healthy ambition and unhealthy perfectionism.

Psychologist Norman Munk advises teens: “Being a perfectionist can be one of the biggest blocks to feeling good about yourself.”

It’s hard to like yourself when nothing you do is ever good enough. The problem is that perfectionists set impossibly high standards for themselves, which merely create frustration.

Dr. Wallace: Our mother has a severe problem. When she is at home, she drinks a lot and takes a lot of prescription pills.

My dad says that she has a mental problem.

I think my mom is getting worse every day. What causes this problem and how can we help her? – Worried, Monmouth Dear Worried: Many turn to alcohol or drugs to “eliminate the mental pain.”

It is important that your mother receives professional treatment.

Psychotherapy and, at times, prescribed medications, can do wonders to help her.

Dear Abby: How do I deal with an assistant who keeps calling me a “brownnoser”? She did it again yesterday at a staff meeting in front of my boss and another assistant. It was the third time she has said it. She is gruff and rude, and several people have complained to me about her attitude.

Should I address her comments during her next employee evaluation, or would it be better to speak to her privately? – The Boss In Lakeland, Fla. Dear Boss: Talk to her privately and tell her what she said is insulting, not funny and you don’t want it to be repeated. Then, put a note about her disrespectful attitude and poor judgment in her personnel file. And by all means revisit the subject at her next evaluation. She should also be made aware that people have complained about her rudeness.

Dear Abby: I would like to ask your readers – especially women – what is the one thing they feel is “make or break” in a relationship. A few months ago I divorced a man who was so disrespectful I

Disneynature’s “Bears” is a nature documentary with a twist.

‘Bears’: Survival is the bare necessity

By SANDIE ANGULO CHEN Special to The Washington Post For the past several years, Disneynature has marked Earth Day by releasing a documentary celebrating Mother Nature.

“Bears” is the studio’s latest nature doc with a twist. It’s more reality show than peer-reviewed research, and like any reality show, the creators have endowed their subjects with moxie, personality and drama.

Wildlife documentary pros Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey follow their well-established format (“Chimpanzee,” “African Cats”) of anthropomorphizing animals with human names, motivations and emotions, while still providing educational information and visuals so stunning, you’ll wonder how they were shot.

“Bears” opens with narrator John C. Reilly introducing a mama bear, named Sky, and her two newborn cubs, Scout and Amber.

Soon after, Reilly sets up the film’s central source of tension. Odds are only one of the two cubs will reach its first birthday. With that grim statistic, the film follows Sky and her cubs as they

journey from the cozy comfort of their den on a perilous trek through the Alaskan peninsula in search of Sky’s primary sustenance, spawning salmon.

But what’s a reality show without drama? Whenever Sky and her twin cubs survive one threat – an avalanche, angry male bears, a hungry grey wolf – another danger threatens to make good on the bleak ursine infant-mortality statistics.

Reilly lightens these sequences by cheerfully narrating the cubs’ antics without the manic comedy stylings that Tim Allen displayed in “Chimpanzee.”

There’s plenty of imagined dialogue between the cubs and their mama, but Reilly’s charming enough to pull off the balance between educational tidbits and talking-animal shtick. The humor, it turns out, is necessary considering the number of tense moments.

Not surprising, then, that the often-jokey narration of “Bears” doesn’t focus on every aspect of a brown bear’s life cycle, as “March of the Penguins” or “Winged Migration” did for their avian subjects. For that, you’ll want to take advantage of the film’s extensive interactive guides and activity sheets online.

Parents, take note: The movie is rated G, but there could be tears, protests and loud questions from sensitive young animal lovers – particularly during one nearly unendurable scene, when a male bear pokes through fallen logs in an attempt to eat one of the cubs.

Don’t be surprised if older kids, on the other hand, want to Google “filial cannibalism” the moment the credits roll.

As with Fothergill’s previous nature documentaries, “Bears” is a story of triumph and family. The spectacular cinematography (which took a year to capture, a process highlighted during the credits), the sometimes silly and sentimental narration, and the alternately cutesy and menacing score are all used to showcase the dramatic lengths the wildlife kingdom’s most famously protective mother will go to provide for her cubs.

All of that makes “Bears” a great pick not just for Earth Day, but for Mother’s Day, too.

• “Bears” received three out of four stars. The film is rated G and contains some tense and potentially scary sequences and references to animal cannibalism. It runs 78 minutes.

PUBLIC NOTICE To patrons of Commonwealth Edison Company: Commonwealth Edison Company (“ComEd”) hereby gives notice to the public that on April 16, 2014, it filed with the Illinois Commerce Commission (“ICC” or “Commission”) updated cost inputs, a revenue requirement reconciliation, and supporting testimony and other information, all for the purpose of determining, pursuant to Section 16108.5 of the Illinois Public Utilities Act (the “Act”) updated rates for delivery services applicable throughout ComEd's service territory in northern Illinois.

As provided in Section 16-108.5 of the Act, the updated costs are based on final historical cost data for calendar year 2013 reflected in ComEd's most recently filed annual FERC Form 1, plus projected plant additions for calendar year 2014, as well as the associated adjustments to accumulated depreciation (change in depreciation reserve), depreciation expense, and Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes. In addition, a reconciliation adjustment of the revenue requirements upon which delivery service rates applied in 2013 were based with a revenue requirement for calendar year 2013 calculated based on actual costs.

Those updated costs and other inputs result in a distribution revenue requirement on which new delivery services rates are to be based (referred to in the filing as the “2015 Rate Year Net Revenue Requirement”) of $2,625 million.

ComEd's delivery services rates are only a portion of the total bill that customers receive from ComEd for bundled price electric service.

The remaining portion includes the cost of the electricity supply and other services, which are subject to the procurement process established by Section 1-75 of the Illinois Power Agency Act and the provisions of Section 16-111.5 of the Public Utilities Act and/or to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. Using rates applicable with the April 2014 billing period for such other components, the estimated total bill impacts of changes in the delivery component are provided herein.

Increases are denoted by a + sign and decreases are denoted by a - sign.

For residential customers receiving bundled fixed price electric service, the delivery portion of electric bills represents approximately 47% of the total electric bill, on average, while the supply portion accounts for about 40%, the transmission portion accounts for approximately 8% and other charges such as taxes account for the remaining 5%. As a result, all other things being equal, the updated rates for the delivery portion result in an overall change in the total residential bills, on average, of +$3.41 per month or an estimated +4.7%. Total bill impacts for residential customers vary by delivery class and electric usage. For example, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for multi-family residential customers utilizing on average 352 kilowatt-hours (“kWhs”) per month, is +$2.83 per month or +6.4%. Likewise, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for single-family residential customers utilizing on average 767 kWhs per month, is +$3.66 per month or +4.3%. Similarly, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for multi-family residential customers with electric space heat, utilizing on average 842 kWhs per month, is +$2.89 per month or +3.8%. Additionally, the estimated total bill impact, on average, for single family residential customers with electric space heat, utilizing on average 1793 kWhs per month, is +$6.37 or +4.3%.

The updated delivery service rates for nonresidential customers in the Watt-Hour and Small Load delivery classes (100 kilowatts (“kW”) or less of demand), with varying usages result in an overall percentage change in the total bill in the range of -4.3% to +4.7%. Nonresidential customers with larger electric loads (greater than 100 kW) have a wide range of electric load characteristics in addition to electricity supply costs that cannot be estimated; therefore, the overall effect of the updated delivery service rates on an electric bill for such customers cannot be determined.

The updated delivery service rates include ComEd's updated costs of delivering electricity through its distribution system and apply to all ComEd customers independent of whether electricity supply is procured and provided by ComEd or by a third party (i.e., a Retail Electric Supplier). These updated rates will take effect beginning with the first day of the January 2015 monthly billing period.

A copy of the materials filed with the Commission and supporting data and documents may be inspected by any interested party at ComEd's office located at Three Lincoln Centre in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois. In addition, Commonwealth Edison Company will place an electronic version of this Public Notice with estimated bill impacts on its Internet website www.ComEd.com.

Customers are advised that the Commission may alter or amend the rates after hearings held pursuant to Section 16-108.5 of the Act and 83 Illinois Administrative Code Part 200, and may increase or decrease individual rates in amounts other than those requested by ComEd. All parties interested in this matter may obtain information with respect thereto either directly from ComEd or by addressing the Chief Clerk of the Illinois Commerce Commission, 527 East Capitol Avenue, Springfield, Illinois 62706.
