13-year crime rate study released

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Evergreen Terrace has averaged 16 violent crimes per 1,000 residents over the past 13 years, a rate more than three times the citywide average, according to a Joliet Police Department study released to the City Council on Tuesday.

That compares to a citywide average of 5 violent crimes per 1,000, according to the report.

Average per capita crime rates for other multifamily complexes in the city were 2 per 1,000 for Bellarmine, 4 for Lois Place, 8 for Des Plaines Gardens and 11 for Fairview.

Mayor Tom Giarrante said his decision to release the report followed claims by community activist Bob Hernandez at Monday’s council session that the city exaggerated the amount of crime at the complex.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton noted that while crime rates across the city go up and down based on a number of factors, they tend to be higher in areas where there are dense population concentrations.

“Evergreen Terrace continues to pose a problem,” Benton said.

Other factors affecting city

crime rates include everything from the age of the residents to the season, Benton noted.

The report also looked at what types of violent crimes were most prevalent in each housing complex, including homicides, sexual assaults, robberies, aggravated batteries and aggravated assaults.

Aggravated battery was the most common crime, with an average yearly rate of 9 per 1,000 at Evergreen Terrace, 6 at Fairview, 4 at Des Plaines and 1 each at Bellarmine and Lois Place.

Among aggravated assaults, Fairview and Evergreen Terrace led the list with an average yearly rate of 3 per 1,000, followed by Des Plaines with 2 and Bellarmine and Lois Place with 1 each.

Evergreen Terrace lead the group with an average of 3 robberies per 1,000, followed by Des Plaines, Fairview and Lois Place with 1 each.

The report listed criminal sexual assaults and homicides in raw numbers due to their relative infrequency.

Lois Place and Bellarmine had the highest number of murders with 3 each, followed by Evergreen Terrace and Fairview with 2 each and Des Plaines with one.

Evergreen Terrace had 10 sexual assaults over the last 13 years, followed by Lois Place with nine and Des Plaines, Fairview and Bellamine with three each.

Over the course of the study, violent crime at Evergreen Terrace spiked in 2002 and 2006 with more than 20 incidents per 1,000, and again in 2011 with more than 25 incidents per 1,000, before dropping down to 16 per 1,000 in 2012. The report noted that crime statistics for 2013 were based on estimates.

The study noted that the “citywide per capita trend during this time period showed a general downward trend.”

Crime rates over the same period decreased 73 percent at Lois Place, were unchanged at Bellarmine and increased 44 percent at Evergreen Terrace, 50 percent at Des Plaines and 175 percent at Fairview, according to the report.

The report concluded that “Des Plaines, Fairview and Evergreen Terrace continue to report serious crime over time. Although there have been some fluctuations, there is little evidence that any significant improvement has been made during the time period examined.”

New majority solidifies on Plainfield park board

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The new majority bloc on the Plainfield Township Park District board solidified more control and support of the public Tuesday while members of the public chided President Peter Hurtado.

The new majority of Vice President Janet Silosky and commissioners Mary Kay Ludemann and Larry Newton restored board meetings to the second Wednesday of every month in the Heritage Professional Center, 24023 W. Lockport St. Commissioner Peter Steinys voted against the change and Hurtado abstained.

The time was changed to the first Tuesday of every month by former Executive Director Garrett Peck in January. It was supported by the old majority of Silosky, Hurtado and Steinys in

November, despite protest from Ludemann about conflicts with her job.

The majority also voted with Commissioner Peter Steinys against a motion to impose term limits on commissioners and restoring board meetings to their original time and place.

“This resolution, if passed, will violate the law of the state of Illinois,” Ludemann said, drawing support from Newton and board attorney Matt Campbell.

“It’s wrong. It’s illegal.”

Referendum questions on the ballot during the March 18 elections yielded 90 percent of voters in support of imposing term limits on commissioners.

Hurtado told the board that the park district had the authority to pass regulations and ordinances necessary by the board.

But Campbell advised the board that passing the measure

could result in a lawsuit, as it would be in direct conflict of the Illinois Park District Code.

Residents went after Hurtado during public comment, echoing previous calls for his resignation.

Several other issues related to decisions made by Peck were raised by residents.

During the meeting, interim Executive Director Gene Coldwater announced that field use issues with the Plainfield Soccer Association had been figured out.

But some PSA coaches in attendance still blame Hurtado for building unnecessary competition through a park district soccer program.

Other decisions by the board included giving commissioners more access to put items on agendas and declining to vote on changing the district’s official name.

KAUPAS’ NARROW LEAD HOLDS UP

Final ballots to be added in next week in Republican race

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, April 2, 2014

JOLIET – Not all the votes are in, but enough of them were counted Tuesday to confirm Ken Kaupas as the Republican nominee for the November sheriff’s race.

Kaupas’ narrow lead of 220 votes on the March 18 election night edged up to 221 when late-arriving absentee and provisional votes were counted Tuesday morning at the Will County Clerk’s office.

The close finish created some doubt before the final votes were counted. Kaupas got 50.3 percent of the vote compared to Nick Ficarello’s 49.7 percent.

“When all is said and done I picked up one vote,” Kaupas said after receiving 32 provisional ballots approved by election judges to Ficarello’s 31. Each candidate received 101 absentee votes.

The vote totals are not quite official. A small part of Aurora that is in Will County, but has its votes counted by Kane County, will send a certified copy of those results to Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz-Voots by April 8. The number of remaining votes isn’t expected to be enough to make a difference in the outcome.

Ficarello and Kaupas were the only candidates to attend Tuesday’s count in the basement of the county building. The two men briefly exchanged greetings before 10 pairs of Democratic and Republican election judges started reviewing the 135 provisional ballots that were submitted.

Provisional ballots are submitted on Election Day when a voter’s registration may be outdated or inaccurate. The judges approved 106 provisional ballots.

“In order to get this done

we have to work together,” said Democrat Lois Tomac, who has been an election judge for 41 years.

“Every candidate should be an election judge first so they understand that,” her Republican colleague, Olympia Diamatopoulos, agreed.

Absentee ballots that arrived on Election Day or later are counted if they were postmarked by midnight on the day before the election.

Schultz-Voots said a total of 291 such valid absentee votes came in – most immediately after the election, but “two or three” still arrived each day last week.

Ficarello did not concede the race after Tuesday’s results were announced, but said he will meet with campaign staff in the next few days to decide on his best course of action.

Ficarello acknowledged running in November as an independent candidate “is an option,” but said he would support Kaupas’ candidacy as a Republican.

Kaupas said he would welcome Ficarello’s support and felt both were surprised at how close the race turned out to be.

“When you look at our backgrounds there are a lot of similarities with the assignments we’ve had through different agencies,” Kaupas said.

Kaupas retired after 26 years with the state police and became a sheriff’s deputy chief.

Ficarello served 31 years with sheriff’s department before retiring as a deputy chief.

Excluding any pending provisional ballots from Aurora, Kaupas received a total of 20,688 votes and Ficarello received 20,467. Kaupas beat Ficarello by roughly threetenths of a percentage point.

Kaupas hoped his slight edge was the result of efforts to avoid “political mudsling-

“I ran a positive campaign.

I didn’t mail negative pieces about my opponent. I talked about my experience and the fiscal issues facing the sheriff’s department. I plan to do

the same in the general election,” Kaupas said.

Kaupas believes Sgt. Mike Kelley, who easily won a three-way Democratic primary, will do the same. Both Kaupas and Kelley work in the sheriff’s investigations

division.

“It will be interesting because we work together. He and I talked about that [Monday] and we feel the same way. Neither of us want to politicize our jobs as police officers,” Kaupas said.

Larry Walsh joins freight advisory council John Greuling, other Will County officials appointed to advise IDOT

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Will County Executive Larry Walsh and other area officials have been appointed to a newly formed freight advisory council charged with bettering the state’s position as one of the nation’s Larry Walsh transportation hubs.

The 41-member Illinois State Freight Advisory Council represents both private and

public sectors, with representatives from the shipping, agriculture and manufacturing industries as well as experts on economic development.

The council was established by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Will County appointees include Walsh; John John Greuling with the Will Greuling County Center for Economic Development; Eric Gilbert with CenterPoint Properties;

and Christopher Clott, dean of college of business and health administration at the University of St. Francis.

Walsh said his No. 1 priority on the council will be improving the safety of roads and routes used by the ever-increasing number of truckers in the area. The congestion can only get worse, he said, as semitrailers travel to and from the Joliet and Elwood intermodal yards, where freight is transferred between trains and trucks.

“They’re using every available route that they can find,” he said. “They crisscross through the country and the county trying to find the shortest route or the less-traveled route. Route 53 was not designed for that volume of truck traffic.”

Vilaseca Day Care Center close to fundraising goal

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Vilaseca Day Care Center is close to gathering the $60,000 needed to stay open.

Volunteers, parents and others affiliated with the bilingual Catholic day care center and preschool in Joliet have successfully raised $53,000, said Rebecca Ramirez, the center’s secSister retary. The cenAraceli Perez ter is in need of Director funding to prevent closure because of low enrollment.

“I believe it’s going really good,” Ramirez said about the center’s fundraising efforts.

“The community and the parents are really helping and we seem to be getting our goal.”

Financial problems at Vilaseca became public in early February when employees said the day care center was in danger of closing by the end of March.

Vilaseca since has been hosting fundraisers and plans to hold another one this Friday at the day care center, 351 N. Chicago St. Ramirez said a raffle will be held April 23.

Friday’s enchilada luncheon fundraiser will be from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Cost is $7 and the fundraiser will offer cheese enchiladas, beans, rice and salad. Carryout and delivery is available.

Enrollment has sunk from an average of 80 children to 49 earlier this year, which has caused financial troubles for the center. The center’s operating budget is about $560,000 this year, said Mina Flores, longtime secretary at the center.

Ramirez said the goal for the fundraisers is to receive $60,000

to finish the school year for the center, which ends in July. The center has been trying to increase enrollment for next year.

Sister Araceli Perez, director of the center, said she feels the community is invested in keeping Vilaseca open and people are working hard to support the fundraising efforts.

“I’m very grateful for all the people who’ve helped us,” she said.

The center is sponsored through tuition and the United Way. The Illinois Board of Education sponsors meals for the food program for the meals.

Also providing assistance is the Catholic Diocese of Joliet.

The center, which began in 1974, has 16 employees and four nuns on staff.

For information about the Friday fundraiser, call 815-7271467.

He believes the proposed Illiana Expressway, a 47-mile tollway stretching from Interstate 55 in Wilmington to Interstate 65 near Lowell, Ind., would help ease that congestion.

He said the council will advise the Illinois Department of Transportation on ways to improve freight traffic statewide and in Will County. That will help better position the county – and the state – to maintain its role as one of the nation’s primary freight hubs.

“Will County is unique in its situation when we talk about rails, highways, and waterways,” Walsh said. “This is where it’s at. Even with what we’ve already got, we haven’t even begun to see what the potentials could be.”

Greuling said he hopes to

play a key role on the council in crafting freight-related policies that are positive for development.

Streamlining the permit process for overweight trucks is one policy change Greuling wants to tackle. He’d also like to see the state fund and prioritize capital improvements that would improve the freight infrastructure.

“Maybe things like adding a lane or rebuilding a bridge or something that improves access should receive higher priority on the funding list,” Greuling said. “That’s what is going to drive investment.”

The first meeting is slated for May 12 and will focus on reviewing IDOT’s long-range transportation plan and developing a freight mobility plan and state rail plan.

TROY TOWNSHIP

Program loans out medical equipment

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Troy Township residents who have a disability can borrow donated medical equipment for 90 days through the Durable Medical Equipment Loan Closet program.

The program, which started March 1, loans out equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, crutches, canes and other donated equipment to residents with temporary or permanent disabilities.

“We’re always looking for more ways to expand services for residents,” Township Administrator Jennifer Dylik said.

There is no cost to borrow the equipment and no age requirement. The user of the equipment needs to be a Troy Township resident.

The goal of the program is to provide an additional service to those with physical conditions.

“Medical equipment can sometimes be very costly,” Dylik said. “The 90-day period is great for people with a shortterm disability. But it also gives those with long-term disabilities the opportunity to test out different equipment at no cost.”

The equipment is donated by residents and often by deceased residents’ family members who want to give back to the community, Dylik said,

“Medical equipment can sometimes be very costly.

The 90-day period is great for people with a short-term disability.

But it also gives those with long-term disabilities the opportunity to test out different equipment at no cost.”

Jennifer Dylik Troy Township administrator adding that more equipment has been donated since an announcement in the township’s spring newsletter.

Due to limited storage space, the township doesn’t accept donations of beds, commodes, linens, mattresses, shower chairs, stair and vehicle lifts, vehicle ramps or toilet lifts.

Residents interested in borrowing or donating equipment can call general assistance case worker Lisa Imbody at 815-744-1963.

Those seeking equipment must complete the application with a name, address, phone number and explanation of the need for the equipment.

Applicants must be approved by township officials.

Applications can be found on the township website at www.troytownship.com.

about Silosky’s new allegiance.

“This board got so out of line.

They’re destroying the park district for thousands of kids in Plainfield.”

Cross introduced House Bill 5593 in February to change the makeup of the board by amending the Illinois Park District Code. State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, has co-sponsored the bill.

The bill went through a couple of changes since introduction. But in its present state the bill adds two more commissioners to the board who would serve shorter two-year terms before their seats are up for election. Cross and state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, would each appoint a commissioner.

The bill passed the House Cities and Villages Committee last week and could soon be introduced on the House floor.

Cross said some legislators

were concerned about the state government reaching too far into local elected boards.

“It’s going to be a tough sell,” Bertino-Tarrant said, adding that she hasn’t received any requests from concerned residents to stop the bill because Silosky switched sides.

Silosky said she switched after realizing she was being misinformed by Hurtado about issues that affected her vote.

Although she expressed support for the bill in February, she considers it unnecessary now that the new board majority is working to get business back on track.

“The bill sets a precedent with state government determining the size and scope of municipal local governments,” Silosky said. “You’re opening up Pandora’s Box when you do that. What’s next? What’s stopping them from determining

the size of school boards or library boards?”

Ludemann said she welcomed Silosky’s change of heart, but thought the bill was still a good idea.

“Unfortunately, I’m not sure what her motivations are,” Ludemann said of Silosky.

“She was fed up with [Hurtado and Steinys] and that’s great.

Should she ever change her mind again, this would at least keep them from having control again.”

Ludemann supports the bill because having seven commissioners would bring the park district in line with others in the state. Bertino-Tarrant also liked the expansion of the board because it gives additional perspectives.

“For me, it’s not about the majority,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “The issue is an increased board would allow for more opinions, more insight.”

Joliet payroll system delayed by 18 weeks Costs could be $500,000 more than expected

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A plan to replace the city’s payroll and timekeeping services will be postponed at least four or five months, and cost an additional $300,000 to $500,000.

Joliet City Manager Jim Hock told the City Council on Monday that the plan to synchronize and replace the current Ceridian Solutions payroll and timekeeping services with ADP Inc., original-

ly set to begin April 1, will require another 18 weeks of transition.

“We would see in excess of a 90 percent failure rate if we kept our original launch date,” Hock said in a memo to the council.

Hock said several factors caused the delay: • The city already is a year behind schedule with numerous false starts; • The departure of the project leader, City Finance Director Rachel Mayer, who

left to take a job in Naperville two weeks before the launch; • Concerns over go-live readiness, including unanimous union acceptance and union agreement that the system and employees were not ready; and • Delays in training employees in how to use the system.

Hock recommended the city reconfigure its project team to include additional assistance. The team would include ADP for technical help,

Paytech Consulting Services for project management, Baecore Group for employee training and internal staff.

The team would re-synchronize the project, and then determine a new launch date.

Hock said the process could take about 18 weeks.

The city has spent about $360,000 on the conversion so far.

Despite the additional cost, Hock said conversion to ADP and abandonment of the city’s aging IBM system “is still the most cost-efficient and timely process.”

In other business, the city

plans expand its downtown parking with the purchase for $30,000 of lots at 251 S. Joliet St. and 103 W. Webster St. Both lots measure 60 by 50 feet; the Joliet lot is undeveloped, the Webster lot is paved. Downtown tax increment financing funds will be used for the purchase.

The lots are located next to city parking lots and will be used for additional parking places, according to Hock.

The city was approached by the owner regarding the potential sale, Hock said.

The City Council approved the purchase at its Tuesday night meeting.

PLAINFIELD – Local state legislators still support the bill that dilutes the three-vote majority in the Plainfield Township Park District by adding commissioners, despite a recent shift in power on the board.

Some questions also have been raised over whether the bill would give state legislators too much control over a local unit of government.

Park board Vice President Janet Silosky is considered part of the board majority with President Peter Hurtado and Commissioner Peter Steinys.

Many who regularly attend park board meetings hold those three responsible for the hiring of former Executive Direc- Tom Cross tor Garrett Peck, R-Oswego whose decisions have led to questionable results, including the elimination of the planning department and a lawsuit that was Jennifer Bersettled.

But in the tino-Tarrant past two board D-Shorewood meetings, Silosky has voted with commissioners Mary Kay Ludemann and Larry Newton instead of with Hurtado and Steinys.

“I don’t think many believe that has changed,” state Rep. Tom Cross, R-Oswego, said

Frankfort school district hires superintendent

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Frankfort School District 157-C has selected a school superintendent.

Maura Zinni was approved Monday to become the new superintendent and will begin July 1. School board members Maura Zinni unanimously approved a three-year contract with Zinni, whose annual salary will be $168,606.

She was chosen out of eight candidates and school officials received assistance

from executive leadership firm BWP & Associates.

“She comes in with great reputation and very well-respected,” said Curt Saindon, the district’s assistant superintendent for finance and operations. “She is a curriculum expert, and she’ll fit in very well here.”

Since October, the school district has been without a superintendent after Tom Hurlburt resigned for personal reasons. Hurlburt had been with the district for five years. Patricia Wernet, a former superintendent herself, has served as interim superintendent.

School board members had winnowed down the possible applicants to eight after

evaluating dozens of other candidates from around the country. School officials have said the selection process included input from families, district staff and the community through a focus group, online surveys and individuals meetings.

“Dr. Zinni will be a strong and visionary instructional leader, an engaging and visible member of the community, an effective communicator, a steward of taxpayer’s funds and someone who will respect our traditions while continuing to move forward as we serve each and every child in Frankfort,” board President Christopher McFadden, said in a news release.

Maura Zinni’s past work • Assistant Superintendent for teaching and learning, Lombard District 44 • Director of Curriculum and assessments, Central CUSD District 301 in Burlington • Principal, Thomas A. Edison school in Skokie District 69 • Assistant principal, Stuart R. Paddock School in Palatine District 15 • General and special education teacher in District 90, Lincoln Elementary School in River Forest • General education and reading specialist teacher in District 201U in Crete

Source: Frankfort School District 157-C Zinni has experience in regular and special education settings, school officials said. Since 2009, she served as the assistant superintendent for teaching and learning in Lombard District 44 and worked with the superintendent’s cabinet and leadership

team.

She earned a doctoral degree in educational leadership from Northern Illinois University and a certificate of advanced study in Educational Administration from the University of Illinois, among other degrees.

Will County police find 2 guns, drugs during search

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Police allegedly found two guns, crack cocaine and ecstasy in an apartment Tuesday morning.

Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said an anonymous tip submitted online led Will County sheriff’s police to search the residence in the 300 block of Herkimer Street where Roman Medel III, 23, resides.

Medel, and Darius K. Johnson, 22, of the 600 block of Je-

rome Avenue, were arrested on charges of unlawful use of a weapon. Courtney Smith, 21, of the 1300 block of Pequot Street, was arrested for probation violations, Kaupas said.

Medel pleaded guilty to aggravated discharge of a firearm in a 2009 case and was sentenced to four years in prison.

Police found a 40-caliber Glock pistol and a 9-millimeter Ruger along with the drugs, which may result in additional charges once lab tests are completed, Kaupas said.

JOLIET – Joliet and the Housing Authority of Joliet have agreed to include about 70 housing units in the Des Plaines Gardens Homes rehabilitation project.

The city and HAJ signed off on the plan during a special City Council meeting Monday, according to Councilman Terry Morris.

The agreement was necessary for HAJ to meet a March 31 deadline to submit its project application to the Illinois Housing Development Authority.

HAJ originally had envisioned replacing 122 housing units at the low-income project with as many as 69 to 76 mixed-income townhomes and duplexes.

City staff had recommended 48 single-family homes, a number that was later changed to 52 with the addition of a couple of duplexes.

Stormwater retention, utility

access and population density were primary concerns.

The latest proposal will include 69 or 70 single family homes and duplexes, the maximum allowable on the seven-acre redevelopment site, City Manager Jim Hock said.

Residents displaced by the demolition would receive housing vouchers and be given first option of moving back into the redeveloped facility.

Housing units not replaced at Des Plaines Gardens eventually could be transferred to HAJ’s Liberty Meadow Estates facility, where the authority has land available for additional construction.

Money to demolish the complex and build new privatized housing would come from IHDA tax credits purchased by private investors.

Rent subsidies for the new homes would come through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Rental Assistance Demonstration program.

County’s average: $3.77 per gallon

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com The state’s gasoline prices in March were the highest since September, with an average price of $3.74 per gallon, according a report released Tuesday by AAA Chicago.

In Will County, regular gasoline prices averaged $3.77 per gallon, which is 27 cents higher than last month but 11 cents lower compared to last year.

“Spring is the most frustrating time of year for drivers given that gas prices seem to jump every time you get in the car,” Beth Mosher,

AAA spokeswoman, said in a press release. “We are seeing the same seasonal hikes this spring, but fortunately gas is not nearly as expensive as in recent years.”

Gasoline prices were on the rise in March as refineries shut down for maintenance ahead of the spring driving season, according to the release. The refineries are expected to complete the work by the end of April, which should allow gasoline supply to build before the summer driving season.

Illinois has the sixth highest gas prices in the country, according to the release.

county is especially concerned about losing the power to decommission wind towers.

“What happens if, all of the sudden, [the wind farm] goes bankrupt and we need to decommission,” Severson said Tuesday. “We wouldn’t have that authority to do that and you hate to lose local control with anything.”

According to the bill’s sponsor, state regulation could bring more uniformity to wind-farm regulation throughout the state. Currently, windmill regulations differ between each county.

“We’re not against standardization, necessarily,” Grundy County Rules Committee chairman Eric Rasmusson said Tuesday. “We’d just like to keep that control at the county level.”

The bill had its first reading in the Senate last month and as of March 27, was sent to an energy subcommittee on special issues where it awaits further review.

MORRIS – A proposed Illinois Senate bill aims to make all wind farms state-regulated, and Grundy County officials are not happy about the proposition.

Illinois Senate Bill 3263, sponsored by John Sullivan, D-Quincy, would create the Wind Energy Facilities Construction and Deconstruction Act. The law would transfer all regulatory responsibilities regarding wind farms – which are currently regulated on a county by county basis – to the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

Several Illinois counties are opposed to the proposed legislation, including Grundy County. The Grundy County Rules Committee on Monday approved a resolution opposing the bill.

The resolution is set to go before the County Board next week before it is passed

along to state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, who will take the county’s concerns to Springfield.

“We are one of several counties against this legislation,” county administrator Heidi Miller said Tuesday.

Grundy is home to one wind farm that encompasses 132 wind turbines near the Highland, Verona and Kinsman areas.

“Last time, when we had the Horizon wind farm, we had input through public hearings, and there was a lot of cooperation with the municipalities,” Miller said.

“This bill would take that collaborative process away.”

According to the proposed measure, county governments would be relegated to recommending bodies, which means they could suggest windmill regulations but would have no authority to actually write ordinances.

Grundy County Chairman Ron Severson said the

Chicago disc jockey Frankie Knuckles, known as the “Godfather of House Music, was also a producer, having done work for artists including Michael Jackson and Diana Ross.

• Wednesday, April 2, 2014

CHICAGO – Frankie Knuckles, a Grammy-winning Chicago disc jockey known as the “Godfather of House Music,” who worked with artists including Michael Jackson and Diana Ross, has died at age 59.

Knuckles died Monday in Chicago, the Cook County medical examiner said Tuesday. The medical examiner said a cause of death was not available.

Knuckles is considered a key figure in the evolution of the house music genre, dating back three decades to venues in Chicago and New York.

“When you’re as fortunate as most of us working DJs to be able to share our creative blessings with the rest of the world, no matter how great or small, wouldn’t you agree that it’s best to give the world the best of who you are?” Knuckles said, in a quote provided Tuesday in a release from his company, Def Mix Productions.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel said Tuesday that Chicago has lost “one of its most treasured cultural pioneers.”

Knuckles was born Francis Nicholls on Jan. 18, 1955, in the Bronx. He worked as a DJ in the early 1970s in New York before moving to Chicago in the late 1970s. In Chicago he was resident DJ at the city’s The Warehouse club until it closed in 1983.

It was there that he defined House music’s distinct style and took on the

Report: Madigan influenced transit hiring

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – A task force asked to scrutinize metropolitan Chicago’s transit agencies said it found evidence that House Speaker Michael Madigan directed Metra to hire and promote certain candidates, contributing to an environment in which corruption and mismanagement could flourish.

Madigan told reporters in Springfield on Tuesday that he had not had a chance to read the task force’s report since its release Monday and declined to give a detailed response.

Separately, Madigan’s spokesman dismissed the report as “amateurish” and said the claims pertain to things that allegedly happened so long ago that Madigan couldn’t be expected to recall if any were true.

Gov. Pat Quinn created the panel in August to come up with recommendations for overhauling the Chicago-area transit system after the former CEO of Metra said he was forced from his job at the commuter rail agency for resisting political interference, including from Madigan. Among the

“I haven’t had a chance to read it because I have been busy on this constitutional amendment. But we plan to work cooperatively with chairman Al Riley of the House Mass Transit Committee on any recommendations concerning mass transit.”

House Speaker Michael Madigan panel’s 15 members were Illinois Transportation Secretary Ann Schneider and Patrick Fitzgerald, the former head of the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago.

The group’s final report recommended a consolidation of the Chicago area’s transit agencies and governing boards to foster coordination and a better focus on system-wide priorities like expansion. But at the core of the report is a section describing ethical lapses that led to several major corruption scandals and worsened a situation already made bad by financial crises and declining ridership.

“One scandal after another has plagued the transit agencies,” the review said in its preface. “Reports emerged of patronage, financial impropriety, hidden conflicts of interest

and inappropriate influence over contracts.”

In a new finding, the task force said it learned of documents from roughly 1983 to 1991 that detail the practice of political patronage at Metra.

The material included boxes containing 800 index cards on people who were referred for jobs, promotions and raises by public officials.

The report said many public figures participated but that Madigan, who has been speaker since 1983, figured prominently.

“The records, fairly read, show that in some cases he did not recommend people to be hired – he in effect decided they were hired,” it said of the speaker.

It concluded Madigan and an attorney acting on his behalf recommended 26 people

The down payment money comes from capital funds set aside for affordable housing. The mortgage program is funded by the housing authority, which generates revenue from bond proceeds.

for jobs, promotions and raises at Metra.

In one case referenced in a footnote, the task force said Metra appeared to have decided to hire a “high priority” Madigan job candidate even before it was able to contact him for an interview.

The agency had trouble tracking him down because he had a disconnected phone number and sent him a letter asking him to contact Metra.

Nonetheless, a note in his file said he would be positioned at a Metra facility “as soon as he calls and we can get him in for [an] interview.”

In another instance the speaker included a cover letter whose tone, the report said, showed how perfunctory the requests had become. It referenced a “list of individuals for the five summer jobs from [the speaker] for the Blue Island yard.”

Madigan declined to comment on any of those details Tuesday when asked about them in Springfield, where he was presenting a constitutional amendment to strengthen voting rights.

“I haven’t had a chance to read it because I have been busy on this constitutional

amendment,” he said. “But we plan to work cooperatively with chairman Al Riley of the House Mass Transit Committee on any recommendations concerning mass transit.”

His spokesman, Steve Brown, called that element of the report amateurish and referred to the claims regarding Madigan as “unverified information.” He would not say whether Madigan denied they were true.

“It’s 25 or 30 years ago,” Brown said. “I don’t know that anyone could have a recollection of did they ask if somebody could get a summer job or not cleaning passenger cars.

It’s silly.”

A Metra spokesman declined to comment beyond saying the agency was reviewing the report.

The task force’s recommended overhaul, which touches on ethics, governance, finance and system performance, now goes before the Legislature, where it would require lawmaker approval.

The suggestions include setting up “a firewall” prohibiting communications between elected officials and the transit agencies on hiring and other personnel decisions.

proposed budget calls for making permanent Illinois’ income tax increase, and also proposes giving property taxpayers a $500 refund.

Republicans claim the new program just repackages old ideas.

no one is denied the right to register to vote or cast a ballot based on race, color, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation or income.

Madigan is also Illinois’ Democratic Party chair. He noted recent efforts in other states to make it more difficult to vote. He says he’s concerned that there could be “future efforts” to do so in Illinois.

The measure now heads to the full House. It would be placed on the November general election ballot for voter approval if it receives supermajority support in both houses of the Legislature.

A new report on child well-being, measured by state and race, has turned an unflattering spotlight on some places not used to being at the bottom of such lists, including Wisconsin, with a worst-in-the-nation ranking for its black children, and South Dakota, with abysmal results for its American Indian youth.

The report, released Tuesday by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, detailed nationwide racial disparities that put Asian and white children in a far more advantageous position than black, Latino and American Indian children. For some advocates for children, the state-specific results were stinging.

“Wisconsin is a state that claims to value opportunity and community and fairness,” said Ken Taylor, executive director of the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families. “That we are the worst in the nation when it comes to the well-being of our African-American children is unacceptable.”

He noted that a report by his council last year on Wisconsin’s Dane County – home to the University of Wisconsin’s main campus – had turned up glaring black-white discrepancies in and around Madison, the relatively progressive and prosperous capital city.

“We knew we were among the worst, but there is something striking about having a national organization rank us last ... especially when our white children are ranked 10th,” said Colleen Butler, racial justice director for the YWCA in Madison.

“Sadly, the national attention is something that is inspiring people to figure out what’s going on and how to improve,” Butler said. “It’s going to be a long-term process. It won’t happen overnight.”

The essence of the Casey report is a newly devised index based on 12 indicators measuring a child’s success from birth to adulthood. The indicators include reading and math proficiency, high school graduation data, teen birthrates, employment prospects, family income

and education levels and neighborhood poverty levels.

Nationally, Asian children had the highest composite score at 776, followed by white children at 704. Then there was a sharp drop-off: the scores were 404 for Latino children, 387 for American-Indian children and 345 for black children.

Wisconsin had the worst score for its black youth at 285, followed by Mississippi, then Michigan.

In Michigan, unlike Wisconsin, white children also ranked in the bottom half of the index. The net result is “a very distressful picture about all children in Michigan,” according to Tonya Allen, president and chief executive of the Detroit-based Skillman Foundation, which invests $17 million each year in education, community programs and youth development.

“When you look at the people who have left Michigan and have left the city of Detroit, the largest percentage is families with young children,” she said.

“People are not finding Michigan – or Detroit – a compelling place to raise their children.”

In the Casey index for American Indian children, the South Dakota score of 185 was the lowest of any racial group in any state – a result of the deep poverty that prevails on many of South Dakota’s Indian reservations.

Sherry Salway Black, a tribal governance expert with the National Congress of American Indians, described the South Dakota score as “horrendous,” but said she was impressed by initiatives on some of the reservations that could help children and families.

In particular, she praised native-run community development financial institutions for seeking to improve youth employment and provide young people with financial literacy education.

“It’s a beacon of hope,” she said.

Ken Taylor of the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families expressed hope that the state’s low score for black children would serve as an alarm bell to galvanize politicians, community leaders, nonprofits and employers into action.

NATION&WORLD Health care sign-ups surge; will they save Democrats?

Congress demands answers from GM’s CEO on defect

By DEE–ANN DURBIN and TOM KRISHER The Associated Press

By JOSH LEDERMAN and JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Mocking his critics, President Barack Obama boasted Tuesday that 7.1 million people have signed up for his health care law, an unexpected comeback after a disastrous rollout sent his poll numbers plummeting and stirred fears among Democrats facing re-election this fall.

“The debate over repealing this law is over,” he declared.

It’s “here to stay.”

But the late enrollment surge may do little to change the political dynamics heading into the midterm elections, particularly for Democrats running in conservative states where the health law and the president himself remain deeply unpopular. Even Obama’s advisers acknowledge that the public’s views on the law are unlikely to shift significantly between now and November.

Still, with millions of people now receiving health benefits under the law, Democrats see an opportunity to undercut Republicans still pushing to repeal “Obamacare.” And GOP lawmakers, wary of overplaying their political hand, are indeed grappling with whether to press forward with repeal or narrow their focus on replacing the law with different health measures.

In a preview of his party’s

President Barack Obama, with Vice President Joe Biden, speaks Tuesday in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington about the Affordable Care Act. midterm messaging, Obama declared Tuesday that while the health law isn’t perfect, it is “here to stay.”

“Why are folks working so hard for people to not have health insurance? Why are they so mad about the idea of people having health insurance?” he asked a group of administration officials and supportive members of Congress in the White House Rose Garden.

Underscoring his point, Obama quoted from letters he said he had received from people helped by the law. But Republicans responded in a new round of their own quotes from people complaining about rapidly rising rates.

“The band may be playing in the White House, but hearts aren’t light for Americans struggling to afford Obamacare’s higher costs,” said a release

from the Senate Republican Communications Center.

The president’s remarks amounted to a victory lap for an administration that botched the start of the long-planned enrollment period for the insurance marketplaces at the center of the landmark law. The enrollment website was riddled with technical problems, and a flurry of private policy cancellations forced Obama to recant his pledge that Americans who liked their health insurance plans could keep them.

While the Congressional Budget Office had originally estimated that 7 million people would enroll in the health exchanges this year, the CBO lowered those expectations to 6 million due to the website woes.

Even inside the White House, that first estimate looked out of reach until recently.

WASHINGTON – The fix for a faulty ignition switch linked to 13 traffic deaths would have cost just 57 cents, members of Congress said Tuesday as they demanded answers from General Motors’ new CEO on why the automaker took 10 years to recall cars with the defect.

At a hearing on Capitol Hill before a House subcommittee, GM’s Mary Barra acknowledged under often testy questioning that the company took too long to act. She promised changes at GM that would prevent such a lapse from happening again.

“If there’s a safety issue, we’re going to make the right change and accept that,” said Barra, who became CEO in January and almost immediately found herself thrust into one of the biggest product safety crises Detroit has ever seen.

But as relatives of the crash victims looked on intently, she admitted that she didn’t know why it took years for the safety defect to be announced. And she deflected many questions about what went wrong, saying an internal investigation is under way.

Since February, GM has recalled 2.6 million cars –

mostly Chevrolet Cobalts and Saturn Ions – over the faulty switch, which can cause the engine to cut off and the vehicle to lose power steering and power brakes.

The automaker said new switches should be available starting April 7.

Barra was firm but calm and polite throughout the proceedings. But she struggled at times to answer lawmakers’ pointed questions, particularly about why GM used the switch when it knew the part didn’t meet its own specifications.

When she tried to draw a distinction between parts that didn’t meet specifications and those that were defective and dangerous, Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, shot back: “What you just answered is gobbledygook.”

She also announced that GM has hired Kenneth Feinberg – who handled the fund for the victims of 9/11, the Boston Marathon bombing and the BP oil spill – to explore ways to compensate victims of accidents in the GM cars. Barra stopped short of saying GM would establish such a fund.

Some of the questioners appeared surprised that Barra hadn’t reviewed the tens of thousands of pages of documents that GM had submitted to the committee, and that she was unaware of some decision-making processes at the company.

Malaysian credibility in jet hunt challenged once again

By CHRIS BRUMMITT and GILLIAN WONG The Associated Press KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – It may mean little to investigators that the last words air traffic controllers heard from the lost jetliner were “Good night, Malaysian three-seven-zero,” rather than “All right, good night.” But to Malaysian offi-

cials whose credibility has been questioned almost from the beginning, it means a great deal.

Malaysian officials said more than two weeks ago that “All right, good night,” were the last words, and that the co-pilot uttered them. They changed the account late Monday and said they are still investigating who it was that spoke. The discrepancy added to the confusion

and frustration families of the missing already felt more than three weeks after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared, and as of Tuesday officials had not explained how they got it wrong.

“This sort of mistake hits at the heart of trust in their communications. If Malaysia is changing what the pilot said, people start thinking, ‘What are

they going to change next?’” said Hamish McLean, an expert in risk and crisis communication at Griffith University in Brisbane, Australia.

“Information in a crisis is absolutely critical. When we are dealing with such a small amount of information it needs to be handled very carefully,” he said.

Authorities have been

forced on the defensive by the criticism, the most forceful of which has come from a group of Chinese relatives who accuse them of lying about – or even involvement in – the plane’s disappearance. In part responding to domestic political criticism, defense minister Hishammuddin Hussein has taken to retweeting supportive comments on Twitter.

An education on inequality Access to equal education for all Americans was never just a question of fairness. It is, now more than ever, a matter of survival. Students who get shortchanged in school will get shortchanged in life, as workers compete for good positions in a world of increasingly specialized and demanding jobs.

But recent research provides strong evidence that inequality remains.

A study released last month by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights showed that black students are significantly more likely than whites to attend a school that doesn’t offer a full range of math and science courses.

Black students are also more likely to have first-year teachers. And in districts with multiple schools, teacher salaries at the school with the most black and Latino students were $5,000 less than the salaries at the school with the least black and Latino students.

Black students are far more likely than whites to be suspended or expelled from school, the study showed. And the disparities begin far earlier than might be imagined – at the preschool level.

“While black children make up 18 percent of preschool enrollment,” wrote The New York Times, “close to half of all preschool children who are suspended more than once are African-American.”

Earlier this month, a group of academic experts in social science, education and law published uncannily similar findings about school discipline disparities.

Indiana University-Bloomington professor Russell Skiba, who headed that three-year national study, thinks the similarity of both reports’ conclusions adds to their credibility.

It’s long been clear that there are disparities in the way minorities are treated in schools, he said. But “I think it’s encouraging that we’re seeing so much attention to this now.”

Government can’t always decide what’s best SPRINGFIELD – My Grandma liked her milk just like her orange juice – freshly squeezed.

To hear her talk, raw milk was wonderful.

And her view is now shared by many of today’s urban “foodies” who believe raw milk tastes better, is richer in nutrients and can help prevent certain diseases.

In fact, the consumption of raw milk has become so popular, legislation has been introduced to ban its sale within Illinois.

Yes, you read that right.

More people are drinking it, so state Rep. Dan Burke, D-Chicago, has introduced a bill to have it banned.

Right now, raw milk only can be bought in Illinois if it is done directly from a farmer.

Still, some view it as a health risk.

Certain diseases can be spread through raw milk. For example, if the milk comes from a cow infected with brucellosis, a human consuming it can develop undulant fever, which can result in several weeks of severe flu-like symptoms.

But raw-milk advocates say such ailments from consuming unpasteur-

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder ized dairy products are rare.

Pasteurization consists of heating milk to kill bacteria. But raw milk, promoters say, also kills or damages the nutrients, and many say milk tastes richer and creamier unpasteurized.

I’m sorry, I think raw milk is just plain gross.

You see, raw milk doesn’t look much like store-bought milk.

It sometimes can have a bit of a yellow cast to it and fat globules rise to the top making the milk, well, lumpy.

But every morning and evening my grandmother would head out to the pasture and milk her pet Holstein named “BB.” Cats from across the neighborhood would come running and she’d ladle out milk for them to lap up.

Then she’d bring the bucket into the house and refrigerate it.

The cream would separate from the milk and she would skim it away and

make butter and ice cream.

She and my grandpa would consume the remainder themselves because Lord knows this grandchild wouldn’t touch it.

After all, who wants to drink lumpy milk?

The home-churned butter didn’t look any more store-bought than the milk.

Instead of having sticks or tubs of butter like you can get at the supermarket, grandma produced these giant globs that looked like bright yellow hedge balls.

But they tasted OK, although they looked a bit menacing, at least in the eyes of a 10-year-old staring across the dinner table.

But grandma’s ice cream was divine – better than anything I ever had before or since.

“There are risks to eating any type of food – including raw milk. But we are not seeking to have it sold at every supermarket. We want it sold at health food stores and at farms to discerning, informed consumers,” said Kimberly Hartke, spokeswoman for the Weston

Florida’s ‘stand your ground law’ has many flaws to fix

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, April 2, 2014

20

Whether Florida’s “stand your ground” law is malevolent, misguided or merely misunderstood, it needs repair.

Fortunately, legislation that would clarify the law is gaining ground in the state Senate. House leaders should get on board with this much-needed update, rather than trying to expand the law and insert a public records purge into it.

The new bill gained unanimous support last week from the Senate’s Criminal Justice Committee. The measure would not repeal the controversial law; instead it would adjust it to address some of the unintended consequences that have emerged since its passage nearly a decade ago.

The law expanded the circumstances under which the use of lethal force is justified in self-defense. It removed the duty to retreat in situations when someone feels threatened.

The law gained national attention after the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin in Sanford. Neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman was acquitted of fatally shooting Martin, even though Zimmerman had been following the unarmed Martin before their confrontation.

In response to the case, Gov. Rick Scott convened a task force that recommended some changes to the law to clarify its administration.

The Legislature at first did

little with the recommendations. But more deaths and more doubts emerged.

The Senate bill would do much of what the task force recommended. Particularly important is a provision clarifying that law enforcement is empowered to thoroughly investigate a death despite a “stand your ground” defense.

Yet the House instead is seeking to extend “stand your ground” immunity to people who fire a warning shot or threaten to use other deadly force in cases of self-defense.

Given that a repeal of the law is highly unlikely, it’s time to at least fix some of its flaws.

The Senate legislation is a step in the right direction.

Signs show Indiana taking inequality problem seriously • INEQUALITY Continued from page 19 Skiba is particularly encouraged that the federal government is taking a serious look at school disciplinary problems. He’s also seen some hopeful signs that Indiana is taking the problem seriously.

Rep. Gregory Porter, D-Indianapolis, introduced a bill in this year’s Legislature that would require schools to examine their rates of suspensions and expulsions and would allow the state to assist schools in developing more positive discipline policies.

The measure wasn’t seriously considered during the short 2014 session, but it was referred to a study committee, and Skiba is hopeful that it will get more attention next year.

“Some districts have reframed their discipline codes to focus on school climate,” Skiba said, noting that Fort Wayne Community Schools is one of the most progressive in the state on this issue.

Indiana’s focus on the issue is certainly merited.

The DOE reported that Indiana was one of five states that “reported male suspension rates higher than the

nation for every racial/ethnic group.” The others were Florida, North Carolina, Rhode Island and South Carolina.

“Far from making our schools safer or improving student behavior,” Skiba said in releasing the results of the study that he headed, “the steadily increasing use of suspension and expulsion puts students – especially students of color and other targeted groups – at an increased risk of academic disengagement, dropout and contact with juvenile justice.”

“Poverty, single-parent homes, other factors do contribute,” Skiba added last week. But, he said, the disciplinary treatment students receive in school can even be traced ultimately to a life of crime.

“It’s sometimes termed the school-to-prison pipeline,” he said.

Blacks, Richard Gunderman wrote in The Atlantic magazine last year, are jailed six times as often as whites.

“And if current trends continue, nearly 1 in 3 black males born today can expect to be incarcerated at some point in life.”

Maybe some of that begins in Indiana classrooms.

Raw milk should not be banned • REEDER Continued from page 19 Price Foundation, a national advocacy group for raw milk.

The Price Foundation believes that raw milk, which can be sold legally in about half the states, helps boost people’s immune system and makes them less likely to develop asthma and allergies.

But public health advocates say contaminated raw milk can make people sick and that’s why it should be outlawed.

This of course raises the question of the role of government in our society.

I don’t drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes, but I’m

certainly no prohibitionist. I believe folks should be able to make wise – or unwise – informed decisions for themselves.

The same goes for a product such as raw milk.

It’s certainly not my cup of cream.

But we can’t go through life covered in bubble wrap.

Government can’t always decide what it thinks is best for us.

We ought to be free to choose.

Lockport takes advantage of opportunities

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, April 2, 2014

22

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – It isn’t often a team’s second hit of the day knocks in the sixth and seventh runs, but that was the case on a chilly, windy Tuesday afternoon.

Lockport senior right fielder Ryan Dalton belted a tworun double to deep left field to provide breathing room, and the Porters survived Providence’s fifth-inning rally for an 8-5 nonconference victory.

The Celtics (2-2) scored twice in the fifth, which was the final inning because darkness prevailed, and left the bases loaded after Lockport junior left-hander Austin Moralis escaped by striking out the final two hitters.

“It’s been that kind of year,” said Providence coach Mark Smith, whose pitchers walked eight, hit four and threw 123 pitches in the five innings.

“The inability to throw strikes has been our killer. It’s disappointing, somewhat embarrassing. These are seniors we are putting out there.

“In our last three games, we have given up 22 runs on eight hits. That is a recipe for disaster.”

Especially when you’re facing an opponent capable of taking advantage.

“We got a lot of walks and some good baserunning and we finally got the big hits,” Dalton said. “We had been struggling to score runs our last couple games. But we had good, quality at-bats and when we did put it in play, it worked out in our favor.”

“I’m proud of our guys,” Lockport coach Andy Satunas said. “They played hard, got on base and took advantage of opportunities. There’s still things we need to do better, though. There were times we were too hesitant on the base paths.”

Senior right-hander Mike Formella pitched the first four innings for the Porters (3-3).

All three runs against him came in the third when Mike Madej and Dylan Rosa doubled Phil Kunsa delivered a tworun single, the first of his two hits.

Lockport defeated Providence, 8-5. BELOW: Providence’s Jackson Stulas tries to tag Lockport’s Rusty Hoh at second base during the fifth inning Tuesday.

Formella threw 28 pitches in the first inning and 27 in the third, but Satunas noted, “Mike did a nice job attacking the zone like a senior pitcher should.”

Lockport’s first hit came when Rusty Hoh, who later singled, led off the top of the third with a double. That ignited a three-run inning and gave the Porters a 4-0 lead.

After Providence chopped the deficit to 4-3 in the bottom of the third, Lockport came back with three in the fourth, keyed by Dalton’s double, to lead 7-3. Pinch-hitter Davis Purviance made it 8-3 with an RBI single in the fifth.

“I’m proud of Ryan [Dalton] and the senior leadership he is providing,” Satunas said. “That’s many times already this season that he has come through for us.

“And Davis [Purviance] coming off the bench and getting a big hit, that was huge especially with the way that

last inning [bottom of the fifth] went.”

Both teams will be involved in the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament, which begins Thursday and concludes Saturday.

Last spring, Lockport was ahead 4-3 with two outs and nobody on base in the top of the seventh inning of the championship game, and Providence exploded for four runs and a 7-4 victory. With the brackets as they are, the two could meet again in the final round Saturday at Silver Cross Field.

“I expect to see them again,” Satunas said.

“Providence is always there,” Dalton said. “A lot of us know their guys from travel teams. They’re a good team.

It would be a good game if we played them again.

“But we have a big first game against Joliet West.

That’s what we’re concentrating on.”

Joliet West upends Minooka for first win of the season Tigers take down defending 4A champs

By MARK JOHNSON mjohnson@shawmedia.com JOLIET – All the Joliet West softball team needed to get in the win column, evidently, was to face the defending Class 4A state champion.

The Tigers ended the fourgame losing streak in which they began the season, defeating Minooka, 4-3, on Tuesday afternoon. A single by West hitter Karina Vargas with two outs in the bottom of the seventh drove in pinch-runner Lily Ongkiko with the winning run.

Not only was it a win over a team that has not lost since the 2013 regular season, it also was revenge for the Tigers.

Minooka ended their season last spring by beating them, 9-1, at the Crete-Monee Regional.

“We got a bad loss last year, so we just wanted to come back, really, and kill them,” Vargas said. “I think it was more of an outside pitch, so I tried to just go with it. ...

Our team, we’re always trying to push runs, push runs, push

runs and we’re trying to never give up, always come back.”

Down 3-1 in the top of the seventh, Minooka (1-1) had a rally of its own. With one out, Jordyn Larsen walked, went to second base on a wild pitch, moved up again on a Carolyn Brown single and came home on a Geri Westerhoff groundout. Meghan Quirk then lined a double into the gap in left-center field for her second RBI of the game, as pinch-runner Erin Rossetto easily scored the tying run.

“I didn’t want to put too much pressure on myself. I kept myself really relaxed, like any other at-bat,” Quirk said. “I was just going up there, looking [for a] firstpitch strike. I went with the pitch she gave me, and it just kind of happened.”

Minooka left the bases loaded in the top of the third, which brought the number of stranded baserunners to 11 for the game to that point, but it also scratched across the game’s first run. West pitcher Joy Treasure walked the bases loaded, and Quirk hit a

grounder into left field for a single that plated Alyssa Hajduk.

West answered with its three runs in the bottom half of the inning. Singles by Treasure and Alysia Rodriguez brought an end to Hajduk’s day on the mound.

With the runners at second and third and nobody out, West’s Kylie Robb put down a sacrifice bunt against Minooka reliever Alexa Zito.

Treasure scored easily, and an errant throw on the play allowed Rodriguez to come home and Robb to end up at second base. Robb later scored on another Indians error.

“We’d been putting baserunners on all game. I think we had one inning where we had three up, three down,” Joliet West coach Heather Suca said. “Pushing them across has been our kind of our struggle. We’ve been getting baserunners on. We’ve been hitting the ball. Just getting that key hit when we need it is what we haven’t done this year, so it was very nice seeing Karina get that key hit there when we needed it at the end.”

Jay Biesterfeld Providence Catholic softball coach told me that if they walked her that I needed to come up swinging, and I was like, all right,” Cothern said. “It felt good to get the grand slam.

We’ve been putting a lot of hard work in so this was a good way to see where we are. I like that we all motivate each other and no one lets you get down.”

The Celtics used RBI hits from Cothern and Courtney Pych (3 for 4) in the opening inning to grab an early 2-0 lead but the Knights tied things in the third when Hannah Hosty (2 for 4, two RBIs) delivered a two-out double down the left field line.

After Greenwood smashed a solo shot over the right field fence to put her team back in front, Central regained the lead in the fourth when Nicole Rote (1 for 2, three RBIs) slapped a two-out double to center.

“We competed,” Knights coach Jeff Tarala said. “Providence is a good team with really good players and they’re well-coached. If you take away some of the mistakes that we made, maybe we’re in the game. We talk to the girls about winning every play and that will translate into wins.

We have an extremely young team and they’re still learning.”

Colleen McLaughlin scored two runs for the Knights, including one in a three-run sixth. Providence answered with a run in the bottom of the frame on a single by Alyssa Demma (2 for 3) before Judge recorded her 10th and 11th strikeouts to end things.

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

NEW LENOX – Considering that his squad had got in its initial outdoor action on the previous day, Providence Catholic softball coach Jay Biesterfeld was pretty pleased with what he saw in his team’s season opener Tuesday.

Sure, the host Celtics made a few too many errors against Lincoln-Way Central, but their coach was happy with how his team hit the ball and with their pitching performance.

Providence pounded out a dozen hits while pitcher Kendal Judge struck out 11 and didn’t allow any earned runs as the Celtics captured an 11-7 victory over the Knights.

“Overall, we hit the ball kind of the way that we were hoping for and expecting,” Biesterfeld said. “Kendal really stepped up and pitched a great game for us. The thing that we obviously need to tighten up is our defense since we made a lot of errors. But this was only our second day on the field, so I’m not completely stunned by that.”

The Knights (1-1), who had managed to get a game in last week, capitalized on a few of those miscues to get two-out, two-run hits in the third and fourth innings to give them a brief 4-3 advantage.

But the Celtics (1-0) moved back in front for good in the bottom of the fourth when they sent 11 hitters to the plate and scored seven runs, which was highlighted by a grand slam by catcher Jessica Cothern.

After the tying run came home on an error, Morgan Greenwood (1 for 2, two RBIs, three runs) coaxed a bases-loaded walk to give the Celtics a 5-4 lead.

Cothern (3 for 4, five RBIs, two runs) then smashed a liner over the center field fence to give the hosts some breathing room, which they needed when Central scored three times in the sixth inning.

“Morgan was looking for the grand slam but she

Wildcats capitalize off of two Redskins fifth-inning errors

By T.G. SMITH tsmith@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A four-run inning by the Plainfield Central baseball team in its home opener against Morris proved to be the difference Tuesday afternoon. Taking advantage of a couple of miscues, then stringing four straight hits together against the Redskins, the Wildcats picked up their first win of the season, 6-3.

“It’s always good to get the first one because then you can relax a little bit,” Plainfield Central coach John Rosner said. “It reiterates the hard work that you put in. It’s nice

to see it carry over onto the field. It’s nice to finally be able to get out onto our home field and get a win.”

Leading 1-0 against Morris senior right-hander Tim Smyk, two errors after one out opened the door for those four straight hits, as the game changed suddenly. All four runs in the inning charged to Smyk were unearned as a result.

“I think we’re already over it, but yeah it bothers me. It bothers me a great deal,” Morris coach Todd Kein said of the fifth-inning errors. “I don’t think we represented ourselves today the way we should. I did not see a traditional, hardnosed Morris team out there today. You are going to have ups and downs throughout the season, but I would like to see us represent ourselves with a little more toughness, a little bit more grit, a little bit more

“It’s always good to get the irst one because then you can relax a little bit. It reiterates the hard work that you put in. It’s nice to see it carry over onto the ield. It’s nice to inally be able to get out onto our home ield and get a win.”

John Rosner Plainfield Central baseball coach

heart and desire.”

After the two errors by Morris, Central strung consecutive hits together by Matt Ryan, Austin Blazevic, Nate Paprota and Simon Leclair to break the game open.

“That’s the name of the game basically – timely hitting,” Rosner said. “We didn’t do that yesterday [a 7-4 loss to West Chicago], but today we took advantage of the mistakes that [Morris] made and came

up with the big hit with the bases loaded.”

Morris’ lone runs in the game came off the bat of Tom Cheshareck, who hit a threerun homer in the sixth.

“Cheshareck put a good swing on the bat, but the team needs to be squaring up balls like that consistently,” Kein said. “Hopefully that shows up tomorrow.”

Despite giving up the blast, Plainfield Central starter Aus-

tin Blazevic was the winning pitcher. He was relieved by Jake Anderson and Kyle Kudla, who got the save. “[Blazevic’s] going to do that all the time. I don’t know if he is going to overpower people, but as long as he’s down in the zone, he has a pretty good breaking ball,” Rosner said.

“And as long as we play good defense behind him, he’s going to have the chance to get some wins.”

Smyk was the losing pitcher. He was relieved by Cody Niewinski in the sixth.

“Until the inning when they got up 5-0, I thought Tim pitched a pretty good ballgame,” Kein said. “We certainly did not help him. We did not help him offensively and had miscues defensively that kept things alive for them. You can’t give good competition breathing room like that.”

The Knights, and coach Scott Gardner, have a strong nucleus returning that should help mightily in that regard.

As with most baseball teams, it starts with pitching, and the Knights have one of the area’s best. Brad Bass, a senior right-hander, posted a miniscule 0.91 ERA last year, with 72 strikeouts in 53 1⁄3 innings. The 6-foot-6 Bass, who was all-SWSC in basketball this winter, has committed to play baseball at Notre Dame.

“Brad is a four-year varsity starter,” Gardner said. “He is a hard-throwing right-hander and one of the top pitchers in the state.”

Backing Bass up on the mound, as well as playing a key role in the infield, is se-

nior Kevin Mampe. Mampe, who will play at University of St. Francis next spring, hit .267 last year, as well as posting a 0.80 ERA on the mound.

“Kevin is a four-year varsity starter also,” Gardner said.

“He has some great potential

on the mound and is a leader on the infield.

With Mampe set to be the boss of the infield, the outfield will be anchored by Pat Michalak, a senior who hit .310 last season.

“Pat has good speed and uses his superior bunting abilities to find ways to get on base,” Gardner said. “He has one of the highest baseball IQ’s, if not the highest, on the team.”

Rounding out the quartet of returning seniors is Sean Barry, who will play first base and hit .329 last season. Barry has committed to Concordia University in Wisconsin.

“Sean gives us a strong offensive threat in the middle of our lineup,” Gardner said.

“And, he has a solid glove at first base.”

With a core of seniors set and ready to go, how the newcomers to the Knights adjust to varsity play will be a key. One of the ones to watch will be junior T.J. Papousek, a junior transfer from Joliet Catholic Academy who will man one of the middle infield positions.

Cam Post, meanwhile, will be a freshmen catcher on the varsity level this year. Three sophomores also figure strongly into the mix, utility player Alex Guerra and pitchers Trevor Newton and Andrew Farbak.

“I feel we have the pitching and defense to compete for a conference title and go deeper into the playoffs than last year’s loss in the regional championship game,” Gardner said. “I am excited to see this group’s potential with the mix of seniors and young guys.”

Lincoln-Way C. returns key seniors Five USF athletes

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media Correspondent Lincoln-Way Central coach Jeff Tarala calls Ashley Evans the “heart and soul” of Knights softball.

It’s hard for Tarala to put into words exactly what the senior shortstop means to the team.

“I can’t even explain how valuable she is,” Tarala said.

“I’ve never met or coached a person like her. She’s a really good player, she’s an excellent communicator and she’s a great teammate. When things aren’t going well, we can count on her to pick her teammates up.

“She has a constant smile.

Her body language is always good. If ‘heart and soul’ was in the dictionary, there’d be a picture of her.”

Last season, as the Knights struggled to an 11-18 mark in Tarala’s first year at the helm, Evans’ positive attitude was needed.

She hopes she won’t need to be lifting the team’s spirit after tough losses nearly as often this season.

“Last year was really a building year for us,” Evans

said. “It was coach Tarala’s first year. We learned a lot. I think we have great potential to do great things this year.”

The Knights’ high hopes are in large part because of the presence of two Division I recruits returning for their senior seasons.

Outfielder Hannah Hosty, who has a reliable glove (.989 fielding percentage last season) has signed with DePaul.

“Hannah’s numbers truly do not show her impact for the team,” Tarala said. “She does anything that is asked of her. Whenever we need to get a bunt down, we can count on Hannah. Whenever we need a quality at-bat, we can count on Hannah. In short, Hannah is one of our most dependable players.”

Evans, who hit .337 last season, has signed with Northern Illinois, a fact she said will allow her to solely focus on improving the Knights over the next few months.

“It’s a relief to have it out of the way,” she said. “I know where I’m going and I don’t have to worry about it anymore. All of the senior players know what it feels like. It’s something you dream about

your whole life, and to have that come true is a great feeling.”

Tarala also will be counting on junior Jacquelyn Farbak and sophomore Naidelyn Medina, both of whom can play second base or in the outfield, to add pop to the lineup.

Junior Melanie Bakotic will be relied upon to do much of the pitching.

Tarala remembers how last season ended, with a 4-3 loss to Lincoln-Way North in regional semifinal action.

“I go back to that game a lot,” he said. “We were right in it. It really showed our girls that we can compete. It gave them a taste that we can do this.

“This year, we want to be competitive every day. If we compete in practice, we’ll be competitive in games. Our goal is to compete for the [SouthWest Suburban Red] title. I think that’s a realistic goal.”

Evans hopes the Knights will show signs of their progress early in the season, “Last year, we got off to such a tough start [beginning 6-8],” she said. “This year, we want to jump out of the gates strong and just go from there.”

AREA ROUNDUP

earn CCAC honors STAFF REPORTS JOLIET – Five University of St. Francis spring sport athletes have been honored as the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Athletes of the Week in their respective sports for the week ending March 30.

Leading the USF baseball team (15-12, 5-0 CCAC) to a three-game sweep of CCAC foe Calumet College of St. Joseph this past weekend, Jake Butler (Minooka) and Joe Ruge were named the league’s Pitcher and Player of the Week.

Butler struck out 18 of the 24 batters he faced in an 8-0 seven-inning shutout of the Crimson Wave on Saturday.

He yielded only two hits without issuing a walk while allowing just one batter to hit the ball out of the infield.

Ruge led an offense that outscored the Crimson Wave 36-3 over the weekend. He batted .636 (7 for 11) and posted a .693 on-base percentage after coaxing a walk and getting hit by a pitch. Ruge had two or more hits in each of the three games. For the series, he scored eight runs and drove in six, while stealing three bases without being caught.

Hilary Halford was chosen as the CCAC Women’s Track & Field Athlete of the Week after clocking the NAIA’s third-fastest time this season in the 5,000-meter run with a 17:23.18 pace at Saturday’s Washington (Mo.) University Invitational. That time placed her fourth overall in a field of 120 runners.

After registering two of this season’s top performances at the NAIA national level, Mike Blaszczyk and sophomore Ryan Njegovan were tabbed the CCAC Men’s Track & Field Athletes of the Week. Blaszczyk clocked the

nation’s second-fastest time in the 5,000-meter run on Saturday at the Washington-St. Louis Invitational, where he ran an automatic national-qualifying pace of 14:22.0.

That placed him fourth in a field of 160. Njegovan recorded the fourth-best throw in the NAIA this year with his distance of 50.27 meters in the discus. The automatic-qualifying performance earned him a runner-up finish from among more than 90 athletes.

HIGH SCHOOL SOFTBALL Lincoln-Way West 13, Bloom 0: Morgan Dieringer and Amanda Ruskowsky combined for a no-hitter for West (2-0). Ruskowsky went 3 for 4 and drove in a run. Carly Souder doubled and scored two runs.

Joliet Catholic Academy 4, Reed-Custer 3 (8 inn.): The Angels scored twice in the bottom of the eighth to rally from a 3-2 deficit Tuesday.

Ryanne Querio got the winning hit for JCA, while Josie Henderson homered among two hits. Reilly Jo Swanson added three hits to back winning pitcher Alyssa Callans, who struck out 13 in eight innings. Jessica Boyd had three hits to lead the offense for Reed-Custer, while pitcher Keana Wickey struck out 14.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL Lewis’ Powell honored: Lewis outside hitter Geoff Powell was named the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season. Powell had a career-high 32 kills and 13 digs as he powered the No. 11 Flyers to a five-set victory at Ball State on March 29. He also posted 24 kills in the fivegame win over IPFW at Neil Carey Arena on March 27.

Here was an unexpected sound from Opening Day: “Batting third and playing third base, Conor Gillaspie.”

Flash back to the first day of spring training, when the White Sox were paying lots of attention to third baseman of the future Matt Davidson, who was thought to be in the mix to head north with the team. Highly regarded Marcus Semien, closer to being ready than Davidson, had taken lots of Gillaspie’s innings at third base in September.

And Jeff Keppinger, with two years left on a three-year, $12 million contract, was also in the mix.

Six weeks after the start

of spring training, Davidson was deemed to be in need of more minor-league time, Semien was pressed into service at second base because of Gordon Beckham’s strained oblique muscle and Keppinger couldn’t throw, leaving Gillaspie as the last man standing.

His short, compact stroke from the left side, occasional pop (he hit three home runs in spring training and doubled to the warning track in the Sox’ 5-3 victory Monday against the Minnesota Twins on Opening Day), strike-zone awareness and professional approach left manager Robin Ventura feeling comfortable about slipping him into the third spot in the order, which generally is reserved for a

team’s best overall hitter.

That was a nice tip of the cap for someone whose future was a topic of discussion during the offseason.

“I tried not to worry about that,” said Gillaspie, who batted .249 with 13 homers and 40 RBI as a rookie last season.

“I worked awfully hard this winter, logged a lot of hours doing things I thought would help me. Physically, there are things I needed to do differently.”

Gillaspie knows what it’s like to be crowded out of a position. A supplemental firstround draft choice of the San Francisco Giants in 2008, he was dealt to the Sox during spring training last year because the Giants had more than enough talent at third.

PITTSBURGH – How important the Cubs’ business plan is to everything they hope to eventually do on the baseball field was spotlighted again in recent days. And it was only indirectly related to the $23 million lineup the Cubs’ fielded for their Opening Day loss to the Pirates on Monday.

When Detroit’s Miguel Cabrera and the Los Angeles Angels’ Mike Trout signed extensions with their clubs last week worth a combined $392.5 million and 14 years, it capped another big-spending off-season that saw salaries jump

again across the game – and offered another reminder of how much more new revenue is pouring into major league baseball at both local and national levels.

What’s it mean for the Cubs, who have dealt with decreased baseball budgets in recent years as ownership operates under the game’s highest debt load (as a requirement of the franchise purchase) while waiting for the promise of new stadium and TV revenues?

It means the cost of doing business just went up, again – and that Crane Kenney’s business department is under increasing pressure to deliver on its promises.

“I think every team has to make its own decisions,” team president Theo Epstein said when asked about the impact of the recent megadeals. “Obviously, all contracts collectively form a market, and you have to be aware of the market, and you have to operate in the market when you’re in free agency. And it affects everything that you do to a certain extent.

“But ultimately we have to make smart decisions for our situation, for the situation we’re in now, and then the situation we’re going to be in, in a few years. We take it all into account and try to chart the path that makes the most sense for us.”

FOOD It’s time for ‘Passover in the Matzah Aisle’ Joliet Jewish Congregation hosts 6th annual outreach program at Jewel-Osco that’s kosher for Passover and certified kosher pickles.

“All the goodies for Passover,” Rubovits said.

At a loss for a Passover dessert? Try this one from a member of Joliet Jewish Congregation. Additional recipes are available at PIMA.

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Tzimmes.

Charles Rubovits, rabbi at the Joliet Jewish Synagogue, said there’s at least 56 wonderful variations on this Passover side dish of carrots, potatoes and stewed prunes that he’s loved since childhood.

“And they’re all wonderful,” Rubovits said.

But then, Rubovits said, Passover is built around food and the warm memories it creates. Kim Higgins, store director of the Jewel-Osco on Jefferson Street in Joliet since October 2013, agreed.

That’s why, after Higgins noticed the synagogue was down the street from Jewel, she contacted Rubovits and asked if members needed a local supplier for Passover foods.

When Rubovits said, “Absolutely,” Higgins, with the full support of her district manager Dave Paul, invited Rubovits to bring his PIMA, or “Passover in the Matzah Aisle” program, now in its sixth year, to her store. The last event is Sunday.

“I grew up in Skokie, in a very Jewish area,” Higgins said. “All the stores up north go all out with Passover. I wanted to make sure people here had access, too. We have all the items right up front.”

PIMA, Rubovits said, is his synagogue’s annual community outreach. Members share their knowledge about Passover, direct customers to the kosher food displays, distribute recipes and chat with passers-by, both Jewish and non-Jewish.

“We want to meet Jewish people that are unaffiliated with a synagogue and let them know we are here,” Rubovits said. “We also want to educate people under a different religion to let them know how we serve God, the same God as a Christian God or a Muslim God.” Central to the eight-day Passover preparation is the

elimination of all yeast-containing products (breads, coffee cakes and many commercially prepared desserts) and the introduction of matzo, a flat, unleavened bread, Rubovits said.

This dietary change correlates with the Biblical story

of the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt: they had no time for bread to rise, Rubovits said.

Although Passover is the beginning of the Jewish holiday season that leads into Moses receiving God’s commands on Mount Sinai, Rubovits said, people’s fondest memories

tend to revolve around food, which each family personalizes.

“My maternal grandmother was an outstanding cook,” Rubovits said. “She was from Russia and so many of the recipes she used were decidedly Eastern European.”

30 CROSSWORD

Take a moment to play safely

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jack Benny said, “It’s not so much knowing when to speak as when to pause.”

At the bridge table, it’s not so much knowing when to play as when to pause.

South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond eight (top of nothing). East wins with his ace and returns the diamond three.

During his pause, how should South plan the play?

The auction is straightforward. North’s one-no-trump rebid shows a balanced hand with 12-14 points. (Discuss with your partner whether it does or does not deny four spades.

I like to show my hand type as quickly as possible, bidding notrump when balanced. But that requires well-defined auction continuations so that responder can check back for a possible 4-4 spade fit.) South jumps to four hearts, going for game in the known nine or 10-card fit.

It is easy to play too quickly on this type of deal. It looks so obvious to take the second trick on the board and to start on the trumps. However, here, West wins that trick and plays another diamond, which East ruffs.

Then declarer loses two hearts, one diamond and the diamond ruff.

Instead, South should anticipate the danger because, at trick two, East led the lowest extant diamond. And with two cards left in the suit, he would have returned the higher one: high-low with a remaining doubleton.

South must void himself of diamonds so that he can overruff East. The simplest way is immediately to cash dummy’s club ace and club queen to discard his diamond king. Then declarer can start to get those trumps out.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips start working on your self-esteem, because if you don’t, I predict you’ll ruin a good relationship.

Dear Abby: I’m in my 50s and overweight. I work hard, eat three meals a day and am – more or less – healthy except for sore feet after work. I’m aware of the medical warnings.

Who isn’t? But I have decided to accept myself as I am, relax and be happy.

For years I have been hard on myself for not being slim.

This is me in my 50s. I don’t expect myself to be slim like I was in my 20s.

Now I can smile, breathe easier, have a good time, and finally buy the new clothes I have put off buying until I was thinner.

My new spirit is weightless and my new attitude has made my life more meaningful.

Any thoughts? – Living Free

At Last

Dear Living Free: Only this, that we all have choices to make about our health, what is important to us and how we want to live our lives. You have made yours, and at this point it appears to have been the right one for you. May it ever be thus.

Dear Abby: My husband has a paralyzing fear of driving over bridges. It interferes with our life together.

He is otherwise healthy, but will not see a therapist for this problem.

We have been married for 27 years. I am 63 and he is 67. I am very sad that our life is so limited. Any advice? – Landlocked In Virginia Dear Landlocked: It would be interesting to know how your husband developed this phobia.

But because he refuses to do anything about it and you feel restricted, consider traveling with another companion.

‘Good’ germs can be beneficial to our health Dear Doctor K: Are all germs dangerous to our health?

Dear Reader: Not all microorganisms (also called germs or microbes) are bad for our health – far from it. Our knowledge of the impact of germs on our health has expanded greatly in just the past five years.

I think of germs in two categories. First, there are the germs that enter our bodies from the outside world and are usually with us only temporarily. Second, there are the germs that constantly live on and in our bodies. They live on our skin, in our mouth, in our digestive tract and elsewhere.

Germs in the first category can sometimes make us sick.

Other times, they are killed by our immune system before that can happen.

For years we have known that many of the germs in the second category – the ones living on or in us – are beneficial. These good microbes help us bolster healthy immunity, digest fiber, detoxify poisons and drugs, and even make some vitamins. So, the answer to your question is that some

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff germs are beneficial.

In the “old days” (before a few years ago) we thought that most of the germs that live on or in us all of our lives were not affecting our health in any way. We thought of them as just being along for the ride, bumming food and warmth from us.

In the past few years, there has been an explosion in our understanding of the germs that always live on or in us. We always knew there were a lot of them. There are 10 of them for every one of the cells in our body.

There are four main categories of germs that can enter our bodies: viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. Viruses are probably the most familiar.

They are a marvel of biological simplicity. They consist of only a thread of genetic material – DNA or RNA – inside a protective coat. To survive and

reproduce, a virus must penetrate into a cell. Once inside, it takes over the cell’s biological equipment and makes it churn out new viruses.

Bacteria cause many common diseases, including ear infections, strep throat and pneumonia. Bacteria are more complex than viruses. Most of them can live without penetrating into our cells.

There are many different types of fungi. They often live on or in us without causing trouble – unless our immune systems become weakened.

The final type of germs – parasites – are tiny animals that live in or on another organism. Malaria, for example, is caused by a parasite.

In tomorrow’s column, I’ll talk about the remarkable recent discoveries about how germs that live on or in us for all of our lives may profoundly affect our health.

Dear Teens: It’s Saturday night and you’re out riding around with your friends. You are all sober and having a wonderful time. Suddenly the driver starts speeding. You become nervous, but since no one else is complaining, you decide not to speak up. What you probably don’t know is that you’re riding in what insurance companies refer to as the “death zone.”

Between Friday at sundown and sundown Sunday, more than 59 percent of all teen auto-related deaths occur, and a high percentage of those involve speeding.

According to a Farmer’s Insurance report, “The equivalent of an entire senior class at a typical high school dies in automobile accidents every two to three weeks!” And that’s not the worst of it. “During the last decade, 74,000 teenage drivers died on U.S. roadways, more than from all diseases combined.

Motor vehicle incidents are the No. 1 killer of young Americans, and the sad fact is, these deaths are preventable.”

So, why are teens involved in so many vehicle accidents and fatal crashes? A California Department of Motor Vehicles study revealed that the prime reason was that teens speed three times more often than older drivers.

The National Safety Council estimates the financial cost of teenage deaths and injuries at $10 billion annually, in medical and insurance costs, property damage and lost wages.

For teens, getting caught speeding can result in a hefty fine, suspension or loss of your license, and an increase in your insurance rates of up to 100 percent.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Or worse, you could get dropped by your insurance company altogether!

It’s most important to know that a speeding automobile is a potential death trap. You are much too important to leave this world in your teen years. It could happen! A word to the wise should be sufficient!

Dr. Wallace: My best friend is 12. We are best friends and we tell each other everything. We are very close.

This past summer, her divorced mom remarried. She hates her stepfather. The main reason is that he beats her with a strap and a paddle. Last night she showed me red welts and bruises on her back and arms. Her stepfather beat her because she came home from school a half hour late.

She is afraid and knows that she will be beaten again, but she doesn’t know what to do to get the beatings to stop. She asked me what I thought she should do, but I don’t know what to tell her. Please help!

– Nameless, Somewhere in Illinois Dear Nameless: Tell your friend to contact the school nurse or counselor.

School personnel are trained to deal with parental physical abuse on their children. If she refuses to do this, you can contact one of them.

It also would be wise for your friend to call the National Hotline for Child Abuse toll-free at 800-422-4453 and to ask for their guidance.

Dear Abby: I have been with my current boyfriend for a year and a half and I love him dearly. However, I often find myself drawn to other guys who I know are nothing but trouble. It never goes further than simple flirting, but I still feel guilty for doing it when I’m in a relationship. How do I keep myself from temptation? – Hard To Resist Dear Hard To Resist: Temptation to do what? To involve yourself with a man who is nothing but trouble? A way to discourage that would be to ask yourself how you would feel if you lost your boyfriend.

That would be a high price to pay for acting immaturely.

However, if you’re asking how to overcome the IMPULSE, my advice is to have an honest conversation with yourself about why you feel the need.

Most of the women (and men) who act this way are constantly trying to prove to themselves that they are attractive.

If this could be you, then

Sturgill Simpson: A country voice of, and out of, this world

By CHRIS RICHARDS The Washington Post AUSTIN, Texas – Country music’s most exciting new outsider spends most nights inside, reading about the great beyond.

“I never go out,” Sturgill Simpson says, hunched over his breakfast, a glass of horchata. “It’s hard enough to sit at a table and talk to most people as it is. But we can go to some town and there’s 300 people we’ve never met before, and by the third song, we’re connecting with everyone in that room.”

So go the mysterious powers of great country music, which is why the 35-year-old is here at the South By Southwest music festival, singing cuts from his second solo album, “Metamodern Sounds in Country Music,” which is due out in May. Simpson’s newest songs contain all the love, loneliness, good times and dread that define classic country, but they also go to greater lengths to suss out the meaning of life. Inspired by the writings of American psychonaut Terence McKenna and Carl Sagan’s “Cosmos,” Simpson sings about the bardo of Tibetan Buddhism in the baritone of Waylon Jennings.

“I’ve been reading about the idea of cyclical lives – it matches up to the idea of string theory and a multiverse,” he says in a deep, dead-serious voice. “So, I wanted to write a record about that instead of another song about broken hearts and drinking.”

Sounds quirky, but this is a powerhouse album where the boldest lyrical ideas are steeped in old-school sounds – enough so that Simpson can still get away with describing it as “a very traditional country record.”

He soaked up those influences as an only child growing up in small-town Kentucky, where he and his grandfather religiously tuned in to “Hee Haw,” where he fell in love with Jennings’ “Dukes of Hazzard” theme song, and where he spent his adolescence mastering guitar licks by Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson and an army of

Sturgill Simpson, seen March 11 in Austin, Texas, has an album, “Metamodern Sounds in Country Music,” scheduled for a May 13 release. bluegrass heroes.

In his 20s, Simpson founded Sunday Valley, a band that specialized in a striking brand of electrified bluegrass, but couldn’t seem to keep itself together. Simpson left the group on numerous occasions – for a botched move to Nashville, Tenn., for a couple of stints of railroad work in Utah and for some darker chapters he’d rather not speak about.

During his first crack at Nashville, in the summer of 2005, Simpson spent his nights at the legendary Station Inn, hoping to shake the clouds over his head and learn how to become a better guitar player. But when the promise of a steady salary lured him to Utah, it wasn’t enough. Simpson’s wife insisted they move back to Music City in 2010 so he could take another shot.

“People say that it’s this parasitic, opportunistic, leech-based hierarchy,” Simpson says of Nashville. “But there are good, honest people there who will believe in you and will help you. You just have to find them.”

He found one in Dave Cobb, an esteemed producer who’s worked with some of Nashville’s greatest, most trend-averse talents, including Jamey Johnson and Shooter Jennings. In turn, Cobb gave Simpson’s stellar 2013 solo debut, “High Top Mountain,” its winning balance of grit and sparkle. Another fortuitous connection: Simpson’s manager, Marc Dottore, who urged him to release his albums independently.

“You’re gonna go in debt no matter what,” Simpson says of releasing his own music. “So, you might as well go in debt to yourself. Which is scary. But the credibility of being on this label or that label is kind of pointless.”

He says working outside of Nashville’s star-making machinery has allowed him to stake out his own space, and on “Metamodern Sounds,” he sounds like the rarest of country singers – one who’s free.

Truly free. During the album’s opening track, “Turtles All the Way Down,” he encounters Jesus Christ, Buddha, a hit of DMT, an angry God and “reptile aliens made of light.” By the time he reaches the album’s penultimate track, “It Ain’t All Light,” Simpson’s roadhouse holler sounds more like a howl into the void.

It’s a honky-tonk hallucination dotted with familiar signposts – small towns, long roads, empty beds and aching hearts – all held together by a feeling central to country music and life itself.

“The overall theme is probably love, to be cheesy about it,” Simpson says. “You spend all this time reading or thinking or praying or searching or exploring. Maybe there’s an Omega Point of love.”

(Unlike just about every other country singer living on the physical plane, his music cites Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s theory that our universe is evolving toward a supreme, unified consciousness – an Omega Point.)

“And if not, [forget] it,” Simpson says, rattling a dozen milky ice cubes around in his glass. “Just be nice to people.”
