Despite all the technological advances and improvements, it’s striking that a comment made 100 years ago

by Colonel Ira Copley about the newspaper business is perhaps more true today than it was back then.

There has been much ballyhooing about the demise of newspapers – an assessment I disagree with.

How we get our news has changed.

The need for news, though, is perhaps greater than it ever has been. And the need for local news in particular remains vital – and in demand. People can get news from Chicago, Springfield, Washington, D.C., and abroad from numerous other sources.

At The Herald-News, we want to be where you get your news about Joliet and surrounding communities in Will and Grundy counties.

To succeed in that, we must embrace a mentality of being good neighbors.

It’s not a new idea in media – and especially not at The Herald-News.

Colonel Ira Copley, who in 1913 bought The Herald-News, wrote 100 years ago that the paper’s general policy was one of neighborliness.

Being a good neighbor and community advocates is important to Shaw Media, as well. It’s one of the reasons I enjoy working for the company, and it’s one of the reasons Shaw bought The Herald-News earlier this year.

We wanted to return that community journalism focus and mentality to this area.

It’s a legacy that has deep roots: On this date 175 years ago, the first incarnation of

VIEWS Kate Schott The Herald-News was printed.

Today’s edition includes a special section, “175 years, a special section looking back on 175 years of The Herald-News,” that looks back on the history of The Herald-News.

As I learned when reading reporter Brian Stanley’s history of the newspaper (included in the special section, along with columns from long-time staffers Dick Goss, Bob Okon and Bill Wimbiscus), a fluke led to the printing of the first edition of the Juliet Courier, the first publication that The Herald-News can trace its origins to.

Through 175 years, the publication has had various incarnations, names and owners who shaped The Herald-News, each one penning a new chapter in the annals of the paper’s history.

I – along with our talented, hard-working staff in news, advertising, production, IT, finance, classified and other departments – get to help shape the future of The Herald-News. It’s an awesome (at times overwhelming) responsibility.

Reading the special section, and learning about just some of the past accomplishments and adventures of the publication’s staff, reveal we have some big shoes to fill.

But it also encourages us to enjoy every day we are lucky enough to work toward revitalizing this publication.

A priest once told me that

I needed to live in the present and not always focus on the future. Learn from the past to make decisions now to build a better tomorrow, he said, but don’t forget to enjoy the gift of today.

I was just out of college when I heard those words. I had that mentality of “I know everything I’ll ever need to know” many embody when they’re in their early 20s, combined with what appears to be an innate cynicism many reporters have, so I responded that journalists are always looking toward that next edition and worrying about meeting deadline.

It’s impossible, I told him, to remain in the here and now when tomorrow always is beckoning.

More than a decade removed from that conversation, I see the wisdom in his words.

And they strangely recall a favorite saying of mine from Dr. Seuss: “Today I shall behave as if this is the day I will be remembered.”

Today, I get to help write the next chapter of The Herald-News. And I hope that in many tomorrow’s from now our team has proved we indeed behaved and produced work that was worthy of being remembered.

••• Happy Easter to you and yours. Whatever you’re doing or however you’re celebrating, I hope it’s a blessed day.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Minooka school board fills vacated seat

By Jeanne Millsap Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – A new Minooka Community High School board member has replaced Michelle Mullen, who resigned in March over a possible conflict of interest.

Wendi Arlis was named and sworn in during Thursday’s board meeting.

Mullen resigned after a communication from the Illi-

nois Attorney General stated it is a conflict for Mullen to serve on the board, since she is a teacher with the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative.

Arlis is an MCHS volunteer. She will serve until April 2015, when her seat and three other school board seats will be up for election.

Also Thursday, the board approved a property tax abatement for a hotel coming to Mi-

nooka. According to District 111 Superintendent Jim Colyott, Blair Road Hotel Associates plans on building an 84-room, four-story Hampton Inn, which could open as soon as May 2015. The district will give the hotel a three-year abatement of 75 percent the first year, 50 percent the second and 25 percent the third.

Members Thursday also canceled the May 1 school board meeting.

Area churches celebrate the resurrection of Jesus

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, April 20, 2014

The story of Jesus’ resurrection is one that does not change.

Each year, pastoral leaders draw materials from the same set of Bible passages to retell that story on Easter Sunday, considered the most important celebration for those of Christian faith.

But how to best bring new life to the nearly 2,000-year-old story each Easter Sunday depends on who you ask.

The Rev. Dr. Jay Carr is 30 Easter Sundays into his ministerial career, and this year marks his fourth with United Methodist Church of New Lenox.

“I always start with ‘What thought do I want them to leave the church with? What nugget of truth?’ ” he said. “The story is the same every year, so I start with that and then I work backwards. Every year, I take whatever is going on in the world and put it into context.”

The first anniversary of the Boston Marathon bombing falls within Holy Week, Carr said. On Monday, thousands will gather again at the finish line for this year’s marathon, he hopes, with a renewed sense of hope.

“The great evil that was visited upon the marathon a year ago has been a great opportunity for good to prevail. That is, in many ways, the Easter story,” Carr said. “I’d caution anyone not to over-spiritualize what happened in Boston, but there’s a connection that can be made. I’m always looking at the world to help people put it in context with what the Gospel message is.”

Just as families and friends of those who died in the bombings will gather together on Monday with a renewed sense of hope, Jesus’ disciples did the same on Easter morning, Carr said, eventually realizing that evil did not win.

“Ultimately, evil does not win, and God’s love ultimately won,” he said.

Father Chris Groh, a pastor at St. Mary Magdalene Catho-

lic Church in Joliet, said his Easter Sunday homily will focus on renewing the Catholic faith.

“On Easter Sunday, new Catholics make a profession of faith and current members renew their baptismal promises,” Groh said. “It’s a time

to affirm who God is and who Jesus is.”

The story of Jesus speaks for itself, he said, which makes it hard to compare it to anything else in today’s society.

“It was such an incredible event. It was something the world had not seen before. It

gives us hope and promise that when we die, we are raised to new life,” he said.

For Father Jyothi Raja Kocherla, who’s in his second year at St. Mary Nativity Church in Joliet, each Easter Sunday is a “new story” for him.

“It’s always a new one for me,” said Kocherla, who often goes by “Father Raj” among members of his congregation.

“Each year, I see a new risen Jesus.”

Father Raj said his Sunday homily will focus on Holy Week being the “basic foundation for Christianity” and a time to reflect on the basic principle of love.

“Easter is the foundation.

If Jesus had not died, there would be no meaning of faith.

There would not be faith,” he said. “Many people came to this world and they did many things and many wonders.

They did, but no one died and rose again.”

Carr said hope is the underlying message on Sunday when he talks about family and friends of loved ones who died in the Boston Marathon bombing.

“Because of Easter, we have hope no matter what we have going on in our lives personally, because Jesus rose from the dead,” he said.

Building confidence for emergencies New Lenox sixth-graders learn CPR, 911 protocol

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Caroline Bentley Elementary School sixth-grader Rachel Mills has the responsibility of baby-sitting her 1- and 2-year-old cousins twice a week.

That’s why the 12-year-old from New Lenox was serious about learning from the pros last week when New Lenox Fire Protection District, Will County 911 and Lincolnway Dispatch teamed up to teach sixth-graders how to properly call 911 and perform CPR. Now, Mills said, she knows exactly what to do if either of the children started choking on a toy or a piece of food.

“You want to make sure you’re prepared for anything so you can stay calm,” Mills said. “Just knowing what to do

if something like this happens will help me stay calm.”

After firefighters demonstrated how to properly call 911, Mills and 24 other sixth-graders broke into groups and practiced CPR and the Heimlich maneuver on medical manikins during the exercises at the school Wednesday.

Mills said she now wants to take a CPR certification class this summer with the New Lenox FPD. Lincoln-Way Dispatcher Melissa Kelley was right alongside the sixth-graders as they practiced CPR and the Heimlich maneuver. She said remaining calm is the No. 1 priority.

“The biggest thing about being on the phone with children is you have to calm them down.

They’re so nervous. I mean, they could be walking in on their loved one not breathing,”

“You want to make sure you’re prepared for anything so you can stay calm.”

Rachel Mills Sixth-grader at Caroline Bentley Elementary School Kelley said. “You have to earn their trust as much as you can and get them to do what you need them to do as quickly as possible.”

Caryn DeMarco, public educator for Will County 9-1-1 Emergency Telephone System, told the class that memorizing their home address is another important thing they should do.

Paramedics will have a much easier time finding the home if the person on the oth-

And knowing where the phone is located at home is important, too, she said, as more and more families opt for cellphones instead of traditional landlines.

“If there’s an emergency in the middle of the night, you’ll need to know where that phone is,” DeMarco said. “If something happens to mom or dad, they’ll be relying on you guys to call.”

What it takes to be an expert telecommunicator

By BRIAN STANLEY

“Empathy is the most important skill. You have to care about the people you’re helping. It may not be an ‘emergency’ to you, but it’s happening to them.”

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Susan Kljaich has spoken with many different people in her 26 years as an emergency dispatcher.

But the afternoon shift supervisor has also dealt with a few regulars who call 911 in situations that don’t require police officers or firefighters ... most of the time.

“Even someone you know who’s [usually] unreliable can still need help. Good listening skills are a must,” Kljaich said. She recalled how a casual comment from a man who generally just likes “saying hello to the girls” prompted follow-up questions that got him hospitalized with severe food poisoning.

Another woman had ongoing mental issues, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t actually assaulted and needed po-

“Empathy is the most important skill. You have to care about the people you’re helping,” Kljaich said. “It may not

be an ‘emergency’ to you, but it’s happening to them.”

On Wednesday, Kljaich was named Telecommunicator of the Year for her leadership and professionalism run-

ning the busiest shift.

The Rockdale native was looking for work when a friend’s relative suggested she apply with the city of Joliet. Kljaich has gone on to become a founding member of the training, public education and emergency response teams. She is also on the police department’s Special Olympics committee.

Kljaich is bilingual and

recalled giving CPR instructions in Spanish as one of her most difficult but rewarding calls. The victim survived the emergency. She ranked a triple homicide as her all-time least favorite call. “[Susan] is never in a foul mood,” 911 Communications Director Julie Ponce-Doyle said. “Even when there are challenges ... she comes to work with an upbeat attitude.

Her charisma and charm have made many a busy, overworked shift go much smoother.”

Kljaich’s husband, Mike, is a retired police officer. She enjoys gardening, cooking and bicycle riding in her free time.

“I was very blessed to fall into a job that I love. I’m grateful for the support everyone gives me here. It’s a hard job, but without that it would be so much harder,” she said.

Body believed to be Calumet City man

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Authorities believe the decomposed body discovered in a vacant building Thursday is the man who wandered away from Harrah’s Casino last fall.

The Will County Coroner’s office said an autopsy performed Friday provided inconclusive results, but the body has been tentatively identified as Henry L. Chunn, 69, of Calumet City.

Official identification will await the results of DNA testing, the coroner’s office reported.

Detectives were called about 2:30 p.m. Thursday after

the body was discovered inside 211 North Joliet St., a vacant red brick building that once housed a glass block company.

Police Chief Brian Benton said investigators do not believe Chunn is the victim of foul play.

Chunn and his wife were staying at the nearby casino hotel on Oct. 17. Chunn’s wife ate breakfast and returned to their room about 9 a.m. to find him gone. She told investigators it was not unusual for her husband to take walks that lasted several hours, but she grew concerned when he didn’t come back. Surveillance video showed him walk over the Cass Street Bridge about noon, but he had not been seen since.

Reaction to Illiana lawsuit is mixed

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Peotone Township homeowner Virginia Hamann said she hopes a lawsuit filed last week in Cook County Circuit Court to halt development of the Illiana Expressway succeeds.

“They shouldn’t spend another penny of our tax dollars that has been wasted on the project,” she said.

A portion of Hamann’s farmland lies in the path of the proposed 47-mile tollway.

In hopes of stopping the Illiana – which would connect Interstate 55 in State Rep. Wilmington to Larry Walsh I n t e r s t a t e 6 5 Jr. near Lowell, Ind. – two Chicago environmental groups filed a lawsuit last week claiming state transportation officials are in violation of state law and do not have authority to move forward with the project.

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, said opposition in court is not surprising.

But the project has strong support, Walsh said, and he believes it needs to move forward to relieve truck con-

gestion in Will County and spur economic growth.

“Everybody’s on board with it. Indiana. Illinois.

The road builders. The labor unions. Several businesses are all on board,” Walsh Jr. said. “It’s a well-oiled coalition of folks wanting to get this project done.”

Whether the lawsuit will slow the project down is up for the courts to decide, Walsh Jr. said.

“At the end of the day, there’s a lawsuit on every big project that comes around.

There’s always some opposition. That’s why we have the court system,” he said.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of the Sierra Club and Openlands, claims Illinois Department of Transportation officials didn’t receive the necessary approval last year from the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning.

The project was illegally approved by CMAP’s policy committee in October 2013 because the group’s board of directors rejected the project 10-4 a week earlier, the lawsuit claims.

That lack of approval from CMAP’s board means IDOT officials are illegally spending public funds and the vote to approve the project was

• Sunday, April 20, 2014

JOLIET – The Joliet Park District board and the Illinois Department of Natural Resources has scheduled for Tuesday an open house on the future of the Pilcher Park Dam. The district announced in November that IDNR and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are considering demolition of the Depression-era structure, which was built as a Works Progress Administration job to create work along with a 3,000-foot-long pool for fishing, swimming and ice skating. The park district currently only allows fishing in the pond.

The district’s main concern is liability, park district executive director Dominic Egizio said.

“If that dam collapses, it’s the park district’s responsibility to deal with,” Egizio said.

“Now if they [IDNR] want to come in and remove it, it doesn’t cost us a dime.”

Park district and IDNR officials will be at the open house to answer questions. A biologist will talk about how removal of the dam will improve fishing by allowing fish and mussels to migrate upstream, Egizio said. Examples of other restoration projects, where dams have been removed will

be on display.

The dam is one of 16 aging, non-functional dams across the state being targeted for demolition under Gov. Pat Quinn’s Illinois Dam Removal Initiative. The $10 million program is designed to remove the dams and restore waterways to their original free-flowing condition.

“Especially when it comes to Pilcher Park, we’re very sensitive to the environment,” Egizio said. “This is an opportunity to restore the park to the way Mother Nature intended it without costing us any money.”

IDNR also is touting the dam’s removal as way to compensate for aquatic habitat lost when the Hickory Creek channel was deepened for flood control from 1985 to 2005.

The concrete surface of the dam is cracking and peeling off, Egizio said. Restoration of the dam would require a de-watering pipe and valve be added, as well as, ensuring the structure passes flood tests, and preparing an emergency plan should a breach occur.

News of the dam’s possible demise has generated some vocal opposition, especially among residents who live around the park.

Dr. Rita Rogan said she’s concerned about the overall

deterioration in Pilcher Park, and that the loss of the dam and pool would create security issues of their own by removing an open vista from the park.

Rogan said IDNR’s emphasis on fish migration does not take into account other effects of the dam’s loss.

“Although the documents go into great length about fish and fauna, they do not address the impact on bird, or mam-

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Dozens of Lincoln-Way high school students are practicing their German on the ground, so to speak, this week.

They are in Germany for spring break, traveling in an environment where they’ll need to use the language to order food, ask for directions or buy clothes. The students may make mistakes, but they will be on the right track if the Germans understand them.

“In the simplest sense, it makes everything real,” said Randy Schumacher, German teacher for Lincoln-Way. “We’re suddenly plunked in the culture and we’ll see a cas-

tle or a concentration camp, and we’re getting the most of the trip in German.”

Aaron Raatjes, another German language teacher for Lincoln-Way, said the trip is an awesome opportunity for students.

“It’s a good way to build and promote cultural under- Randy standing out- Schumacher side the classroom,” he said.

Schumacher has organized four trips for Lincoln-Way students to Germany and other German-speaking countries with an educational tour group called Explorica. About

26 students will travel through historic sites and towns while using their German language skills. It’s a skill that can be important for many people – especially those in business or health – since Germany is a top economic power in Europe, Schumacher said.

“If you’re going into the medical field, it would be a huge advantage to learn German,” he said, since much medical and scientific research is published in German.

Learning the language helps students understand their native tongue better as well, as the classes reinforce grammatical concepts, he said. It can be a lot like math, since the students are given

tools and use them to solve problems, Schumacher said.

During the trip, students will travel through Bavaria and stay in Rothenburg where a medieval protective wall is still intact. After visiting Munich, the students will then visit a memorial site for Dachau, one of the first Jewish concentration camps under the Nazis. Visiting Dachau is a moving experience for the students.

One of the highlights of the trip for the students is the castles. They’ll visit the Neuschwanstein Castle, which they love because the views are spectacular, Schumacher said.

Usually after the trip, the students’ confidence level in German goes through the roof, he said.

“It really increases their usage of it,” Schumacher said, “it clicks with them and they see the validity in it.”

SHOREWOOD – A Joliet man has been arrested on charges of sexual assault and abuse.

Charles D. Cheffer, 29, of the

1400 block of Flower Street in Joliet, was arrested Thursday after an investigation into a case involving a 13-year-old girl. Police said the incident happened earlier this year.

Cheffer was booked in jail on charges of criminal sexual assault and aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said Cheffer had contact with the victim in January and February.

“There have been investigations by other departments of similar allegations against [Cheffer] in the past that did not result in charges,” Kaupas said.

Jail records indicate Cheffer has been arrested before on burglary and drug possession charges.

William J. Hinze, D.D.S. Passed away peacefully on March 25, 2014 with his loving and devoted family by his side.

Quinn: Medicaid needs new controls

Review found program paid $12M for dead

By JASON KEYSER The Associated Press CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn promised tighter controls Saturday after a review found that the Illinois Medicaid program paid an estimated $12 million for medical services for people who had already died.

The Democratic governor told reporters he’s not happy with the findings and the state is on track to get back all of the money.

“We’ve already recouped a great deal of the money,” Quinn said. “We intend to get every single penny.”

Republican lawmakers seized on the mistake as evidence that Illinois’ Democratic leadership has failed to do all it can to clean up the Medicaid rolls and shield the

system from abuse. The error emerged during one of the most hotly contested governor’s races in the nation and could become an issue in the campaign.

When asked about the matter Saturday, a spokesman for Quinn’s Republican opponent, wealthy businessman Bruce Rauner, said it warranted further scrutiny and was “another troubling sign pointing toward Pat Quinn’s inability to run state government.”

The Associated Press learned of the mistake from an internal state government memo it obtained Friday through the Freedom of Information Act. The memo says the state auditor compared clients enrolled in the Medicaid database last June with state death records dating back

to 1970. Auditors identified overpayments for services to roughly 2,900 people after the date of their deaths.

Quinn said Saturday that in most of the cases, managed care insurance companies had improperly billed the state for those people.

“When we discover this we get the money back from those insurance companies,” he said.

The memo states that more than $7 million has been recovered and the rest is expected to be recouped by year’s end.

It was written by the directors of the departments of Healthcare and Family Services and Human Services, the two state agencies involved with Medicaid payments, and is addressed to their senior staff members.

“We’ve already recouped a great deal of money.

We intend to get every single penny.”

Gov. Pat Quinn

In the document, they outline steps to fix the problem.

Quinn, speaking to reporters after an unrelated event in Chicago, said the goal is “zero tolerance for any kind of mistake.”

“We have to put in even tighter controls,” he said. “...

The important thing is to recoup every dollar for the taxpayers. We’re doing exactly that.”

Republicans have pressed for the state to renew a contract with a private company that had been working to verify Medicaid eligibility.

GOP officials who wanted Brady out replaced

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – A crop of Republican officials who wanted to oust former Illinois GOP Chairman Pat Brady for his statements supporting same-sex marriage have been replaced in their party positions.

Illinois Republicans across the state held elections for all 18 state central committee member posts this week, replacing six of the seven officials who signed on to a letter last year to hold a vote on removing Brady as chairman.

The seventh person to sign the letter, Mark Shaw of the 10th Congressional District, was re-elected to a four-year term.

Brady began making public statements in January 2013 in support of same-sex marriage, contrary to the party’s platform that defines marriage as between one man and

one woman. Committee members in favor of his removal said he not only violated the platform, but commented without notifying them first.

Brady, in turn, described the party as “on wrong side of history.”

He resigned from the chairman’s post last May, citing his wife’s battle with cancer and his desire to focus on his family after four years as chairman and two as a Republican National Committee member.

He was succeeded by current chairman Jack Dorgan of Rosemont last June.

The ideological shifts in the party’s organizational structure come as Republicans in Illinois and nationally are working to expand and attract women and minority voters as they look to November.

In all, only seven of 18 committeemen were re-elected to new four-year terms.

“There were some people that have moved on that were great, and then there were others that were absolutely destructive and were not good for the party and they’re gone.”

Pat Brady Former Illinois GOP chairman “There were some people that have moved on that were great, and then there were others that were absolutely destructive and were not good for the party and they’re gone,” said Brady, who is no longer a member of the committee. “All in all, it was a good night, [bringing in] a lot of new blood.”

Some new party officials

already have said they feel that social views should take a back seat to get-out-the-vote efforts ahead of November elections that include a serious challenge to Gov. Pat Quinn by Republican Bruce Rauner.

New 8th District committeeman Ryan Higgins of Schaumburg told The Associated Press that “there’s room to disagree on those issues. In my role at the state party level, I don’t want my opinion to be known.”

Higgins, who unsuccessfully ran for state representative in 2010, said he supported civil union legislation on several newspaper questionnaires then.

“The leaders we selected today will help guide our party forward, hold Gov. Quinn accountable for his failures, and elect Republicans up and down the ticket,” Dorgan said in a statement.

Maximus Health Services was hired to scrub state Medicaid rolls following 2012 Medicaid-reform legislation.

But the contract ended last year, and the work was shifted to state employees, after Illinois’ largest public-employee union objected and an arbitrator ruled the contract should end.

Republicans wanted Quinn to appeal the ruling. They have repeatedly said better verification of eligibility and rooting out fraud and abuse could help save the cashstrapped state much-needed funds. Republicans say that in light of the findings they will renew that push.

Quinn said he favored sticking with the state’s own verification work.

“We’re doing that right now,” he said. “We have everything in place to identify anything, anybody, any practice that isn’t proper.”

STATE BRIEF Quinn backs spending for Obama library CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn is throwing his support behind a proposal to spend $100 million in state funds to sweeten Chicago’s bid for the Obama presidential library and museum.

The state is grappling with budget woes, but Quinn said Saturday the spending would be “an important investment.”

The measure passed a House committee Thursday after Democrats used a procedural maneuver to record a 9-0 vote even though none of the committee’s four Republican members was there. One Republican lawmaker is protesting.

Asked whether the vote should be retaken, Quinn said that was a matter for the Legislature, adding both houses will ultimately have a chance to vote on it.

Creeping landslide devouring part of Wyoming resort town The ASSOCIATED PRESS JACKSON, Wyo. – No one can say precisely when the mountainside collapsing into this Wyoming resort town will give way. But it appears increasingly likely that when it does, it’s going to take a piece of Jackson with it.

Workers and residents have watched helplessly in recent days as the slow-motion landslide spanning hundreds of yards split a house in two and inched ever closer to a cluster of businesses below.

Standing at the edge of the slide zone, its rocky slope rising sharply behind him, Jackson Fire Chief Willy Watsabaugh said the rate of movement slowed Saturday, giving crews a chance to get back in and reassess the damage.

Yet the fate of the businesses, houses and apartment buildings in the slide zone remained in doubt. Experts

brought in to assist the town said it was unknown when the slide will come to a rest.

Efforts taken to stop it – including the erection of large concrete walls at the base of the slope – have proved futile.

The concrete walls had been pushed around by the shifting ground and were leaning away from the slope Saturday, when they were relocated to support a make-shift road being built to give heavy equipment better access to the site.

“We’re up against the Earth, and the Earth’s movement is an extremely powerful thing,” Watsabaugh said.

A sudden acceleration earlier in the week prompted authorities to suspend their efforts to shore up the slope as falling rocks created a hazard. The work that resumed this weekend focused on repairing some of the damage already inflicted, such as a break in a sewer line Friday,

town spokeswoman Charlotte Reynolds said.

What triggered the geologic event remains under investigation.

Authorities are looking into whether recent construction at the foot of East Gros Ventre Butte made the slope unstable. But they say there could be a variety of additional causes, including earlier construction at the site, warmer weather and a wet winter that put more water into the ground, where it acts as a lubricant for unstable rocks and soil.

Town officials first noticed significant hill movement April 4. They evacuated 42 homes and apartment units April 9.

Because of its more stable geology, the slope is unlikely to suddenly collapse like the March 22 landslide in Oso, Wash., that killed 39 people, experts said.

Asia seeks President Obama’s assurance in territorial spats

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – As President Barack Obama travels through Asia this coming week, he will confront a region that’s warily watching the crisis in Ukraine through the prism of its own territorial tensions with China.

Each of the four countries on Obama’s itinerary – Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and the Philippines – has disputes with China over islands and waters in the South and East China Seas.

Their leaders will be weighing Obama’s willingness to support them if those conflicts boil over.

“What we can say after seeing what happened to Ukraine is that using force to change the status quo is not acceptable,” said Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whose country is in one of the fiercest disputes with China.

Administration officials, including Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, have taken a tougher line on the territorial issues in recent weeks, sternly warning China against the use of military force and noting that the U.S. has treaty obligations to defend Japan in particular.

But in an attempt to maintain good relations with China, the U.S. has not formally taken sides on the question of which countries should control which islands.

Analysts say there are concerns that China could be emboldened by the relative ease with which Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine over U.S. objections, as well as the very real possibility that Moscow could take more land. Moreover, some in Asia question Obama’s ability to follow through on his security pledges in light of his decision last summer to pull back on plans for a military strike against Syria.

WORLD BRIEF 10 more bodies found inside sunken ferry MOKPO, South Korea – Divers recovered 13 bodies from inside a ferry that sank off South Korea, pushing the confirmed death toll to 46, officials said Sunday. The discovery came after rescuers finally gained access to the inside of the ship following three days of failure and frustration caused by strong currents and bad visibility because of inclement weather.

More than 300 people are missing or dead, and the captain of the ferry has been arrested on suspicion of negligence and abandoning people in need. Two crew members also were taken into custody, including a rookie

third mate who a prosecutor said was steering in challenging waters unfamiliar to her when the accident occurred.

Late Saturday, divers broke a window in the submerged ferry and initially retrieved three bodies, said Kim Kwang-hyun, a coast guard official. These apparently were the first bodies recovered from inside the ferry since it sank Wednesday. Later Sunday, government officials announced that 10 more bodies had been found inside the ferry, bringing the confirmed toll to 46. Officials said 256 people were missing, most of them high school students on a holiday trip.

DETROIT – General Motors waited years to recall nearly 335,000 Saturn Ions for power steering failures despite getting thousands of consumer complaints and more than 30,000 warranty repair claims, according to government documents released Saturday.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the government’s auto safety watchdog, also didn’t seek a recall of the compact car from the 2004 through 2007 model years even though it opened an investigation more than two years ago and found 12 crashes and two injuries caused by the problem.

The documents, posted on the agency’s website, show yet another delay by GM in recalling unsafe vehicles and point to another example of government safety regulators reacting slowly to a safety problem despite being alerted by consumers and through warranty data submitted by the company.

A recall can be initiated by an automaker or demanded by the government.

Both GM and NHTSA have been criticized by safety advocates and lawmakers for their slow responses to a deadly ignition switch problem in 2.6 million GM small cars. GM admitted knowing about the problem for more than a decade, yet didn’t start recalling the cars until February. The company says it knows of 13 deaths in crashes linked to the ignition switches, but family members of crash victims say the number is much higher.

The Ion was one of a few GM cars included in a March 31 recall of 1.5 million vehicles worldwide to replace the power steering motors; the recall also covered some older Saturn Auras, Pontiac G6s and Chevrolet Malibus. If cars lose power steering, they can still be steered, but with much greater effort. Drivers can be surprised by the problem and lose control of the cars and crash.

In a statement issued Saturday, GM admitted that it didn’t do enough to take care of the power steering problem.

13th body pulled from snow in Everest avalanche

Sub search for missing jet to be finished in week center said in an email to The Associated Press.

The U.S. Navy sub has covered around 51 square miles since it began diving into the depths on Monday. The latest data are being analyzed, but nothing has yet been identified.

Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein told reporters in Kuala Lumpur that the weekend search is crucial.

“The narrowing of the search for today and tomorrow is at a very critical juncture, so I appeal to everybody around the world to pray and pray hard that we find something to work on over the next couple of days,” he said.

But he added that there were no plans to give up once the Bluefin concludes its work.

Instead, he said the scope of the search may be broadened or other assets may be used.

By MARGIE MASON The Associated Press PERTH, Australia – A robotic submarine looking for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet is expected to finish searching a patch of the Indian Ocean seabed within a week after so far coming up empty, and the search area may be expanded after that, officials said Saturday.

As the hunt for Flight 370 hit the six-week mark, the Bluefin 21 unmanned sub began its seventh trip into the depths off the coast of western Australia. Its search area forms a 6.2-mile circle around the location of an underwater signal that was believed to have come from the aircraft’s black boxes before their batteries died. The sonar scan of the seafloor in that area is expected to be completed in five to seven days, the search

KATMANDU, Nepal – Search teams recovered a 13th body Saturday from the snow and ice covering a dangerous climbing pass on Mount Everest, where an avalanche a day earlier swept over a group of Sherpa guides in the deadliest disaster on the world’s highest peak.

Another three guides remained missing, and searchers were working quickly to find them in case weather conditions deteriorated, said Maddhu Sunan Burlakoti, head of the Nepalese government’s mountaineering department. But the painstaking effort involved testing the strength of newly fallen snow and using extra clamps, ropes and aluminum ladders to navigate the treacherous Khumbu icefall, a maze of immense ice chunks and crevasses.

The avalanche slammed into the guides at about 6:30 a.m. Friday near the “popcorn field,” a section of the Khumbu known for its bulging chunks of ice. The group of about 25 Sherpa guides were among the first people making their way up the mountain this climbing season. They were hauling gear to the higher camps that their foreign clients would use in attempting to reach the summit next month.

One of the survivors told his relatives that the path had been unstable just before the snow slide hit at an elevation near 19,000 feet.

The area is considered particularly dangerous due to its steep slope and deep crevasses that cut through the snow and ice covering the pass year round.

As soon as the avalanche occurred, rescuers, guides and climbers rushed to help, and all other climbing was suspended.

On Saturday, up to 11 aircraft and 12 ships continued to scan the ocean surface for debris from the Boeing 777 that disappeared March 8 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

Radar and satellite data show the plane mysteriously veered far off course for unknown reasons and would have run out of fuel in the remote section of the southern Indian Ocean where the search has been focused. Not one piece of debris has been recovered since the massive hunt began.

The search, which continues to raise more questions than answers, has tormented the families whose loved ones were aboard Flight 370.

Variable annuities and the S&P 500 Dear Mr. Berko: My sister is 42, and I’m 46. We have a $110,000 certificate of deposit we inherited from our parents. It pays 4 percent and matures next month.

Our uncle is a stockbroker and has recommended that we invest $55,000 in an AXA variable annuity with a great 6 percent income guarantee (I can send the prospectus if needed) and $55,000 in the SPDR S&P 500 exchange-traded fund, which pays 1.9 percent. He tells us the fund has averaged 18 percent during the past five years, which is a fantastic return. All of us – husbands, too – have been employed by the state of Ohio for many years, so we have excellent and guaranteed retirement and health plans.

Both of our husbands agree that this is our money to invest and won’t interfere with our investment decisions. But my sister and I would like your thoughts on these two investments before we invest.

– TS, Cleveland Dear TS: At your tender ages, you shouldn’t be so com-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko fortable with your retirement benefits. Your union has represented you well, and as a result, Ohio has one of the largest unfunded worker pension and benefit liabilities in the nation. The plan invests in stocks, bonds, real estate and other assets to produce investment income. And these investments, combined with the state’s annual cash contributions, are supposed to grow over time to pay extra-juicy benefits to retired workers. But the unions relentlessly continue pushing for more benefits. As a result, today’s unfunded benefits represent nearly 45 percent of Ohio’s gross domestic product. So this $110,000 may be more important than you believe.

Keep that AXA prospectus. It’s too complicated for me – even my daughter, an attorney whose IQ is off the

Since 1988

atomic scale, has difficulty understanding prospectuses for variable annuities – so I’ll wager a cubic yard of dimes to a mile-long line of $2 bills that your uncle-broker hasn’t read AXA’s legal trash. AXA, a French insurer, is just an average insurance company peddling average annuities.

Yes, the 6 percent rate is a guaranteed minimum income benefit, but as with all insurance products, you’ve gotta pay for it. In this instance, it’s 1.15 percent of your principal value each year. Did your uncle-broker tell you that? Then there are mortality costs, money management fees and other expenses (about 1.85 percent), bringing the annual cost of owning this annuity to 3 percent. So in order for you to net 6 percent, your variable annuity must earn 9 percent annually, and it must do this year in and year out. Did your uncle-broker explain

this to you? Annuities are terribly complicated products, with nearly a zillion complex moving parts that are only a little less confusing than our tax code. You don’t need these complications in your investment lives. But you can consider a $55,000 portfolio of no-load funds that should outperform that annuity by an Ohio mile.

And they won’t cost you a hidden 5-6 percent commission.

Now, the SPDR S&P 500 fund (SPY-$186.44) isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Between January 2008 and January 2013, its return was less than stellar – less than 2 percent a year. That’s nothing to holler home about. Granted, 2013 was an explosive year, so including last year’s impressive results (from January 2009 to January 2014), SPY’s fiveyear return did zoom to an explosive 18 percent. (What a

difference a year can make!)

But your uncle-broker needs to go back to broker school.

I would rather see you and your sister use the second $55,000 to buy a dozen dividend growth issues that are in the S&P 500 index.

Johnson & Johnson, McDonald’s, Procter & Gamble and Kimberly-Clark are just a few that have grown their dividends by more than 10 percent annually for years.

Make sure you reinvest the dividends. These stocks won’t set the world on fire, but over the coming 20 years or so, their average annual dividend payouts should equal 26 percent of your original principal. And that’s something to holler home about.

EASTER SUNDAY PASSAGE

Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Note to readers: On Easter Sunday, we reprint this passage from the Gospel of John, Chapter 20 (English Standard Version.)

Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”

So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the disciples went back to their homes.

Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”

She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do

not know where they have laid him.”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”

Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord” – and that he had said these things to her.

Jesus appears to the disciples On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”

See EASTER, page 27

Caring and awareness, not indifferent Congress has gone home for its Easter recess, and spring has arrived.

Don’t you feel better? I do.

I love spring; it gives me a much-needed sense of renewal. It causes me to pause.

I also love it when Congress goes home. It becomes peaceful in Washington, D.C. We can hear ourselves think.

The negativity that envelops this town (and nation) ceases.

And in the quiet, old, warm feelings steal back; kind feelings reawaken.

The numbness I suspect we all experience from the constant jabbering and fighting fades. Things I had forgotten about, or even become indifferent to, are reborn and flood me with a tingling awareness.

That’s why I was almost jolted when I read a few words by Maria Shriver in her newsletter. “I’ve been thinking a lot,” she wrote, “about ... the pope’s statement that one of the greatest dangers we face is that of

VIEWS Donna Brazile indifference.”

Shriver recalled from her growing-up years the same events I remember as a girl, a teenager and a young woman: “I remember the world stopping in its tracks when a president gave a speech to the nation,” she wrote. “I remember time stood still when a man walked on the moon. I remember a nation that mourned and searched its soul when political leaders were gunned down in plain sight. I remember pictures of [starving] children from Biafra on the front of the newspaper causing the nation to talk.”

Today, events succeed one another in intensity, and then depart rapidly. They forcibly grab our attention, then we move on. “It seems like we focus but only for

a moment when there is a tragedy like 9/11, Sandy Hook, Ft. Hood or last week’s stabbing at a high school in Pennsylvania by a young 16-year-old boy,” Shriver wrote.

Then she asked the questions that likely caused Pope Francis to care if we are becoming an indifferent world.

“I’m wondering what’s happening to us?” she wrote.

“To our children? To our sense of community? To our empathy?

“How can we come together more in our politics, in our opinions, in our races, our genders? I worry we are moving too fast, digesting too much and nothing is landing.”

Some things are landing.

Across our country this past week, I saw signs that good people still stop and reflect, and draw strength from one another. In Boston, a remarkable community came

See BRAZILE, page 27

THE FIRST AMENDMENT Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

• BRAZILE Continued from page 26 together to remember the marathon bombing of a year ago.

It gave me good chills, and goose bumps, to see how the people of Boston helped the injured to recover; to think on the faith and character they exhibited in the tragedy, and to ponder the resilience they’ve shown.

In Virginia, citizens across the state took a moment to come together and reflect on the nation’s worst mass shoot-

ing, which took place in 2007 at Virginia Tech when a deranged student took 32 young lives. In the city of West, Texas, 2,800 residents reflected on the explosion that took the lives of 15 of their own.

In a town that size, everyone knows the deceased, and everyone has been affected.

They came together as a community – as a family.

These are but a few examples that we can still be a community, and a nation of empathy. Indeed, these events are encouraging signs we are not indifferent.

Pope Francis, whatever a person’s faith, is a living example of one who has principles and is still respectful and loving of others. We face daunting global dangers. But we can do better.

We can start with random acts of kindness and goodness.

After all, change starts with us. Where we live, eat, pray, work or play. It’s really up to us to make this a better world.

• Donna Brazile is a senior Democratic strategist, a political commentator and contributor to CNN and ABC News.

• EASTER Continued from page 26 Jesus and Thomas Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.”

But he said to them,

“Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”

Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them.

Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side.

Do not disbelieve, but believe.” Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Looking to pay back good Samaritan To the Editor: This is an open letter to an unbelievably good Samaritan with gratitude. On April 8, I was checking out at Wal-Mart and discovered I didn’t have my wallet with money or credit cards.

I was going to write a check but no ID either. This nice lady behind me asked how much it was, $34.74, and she put it on her card.

I was so stunned, but asked her for her name and address and I’d send her the money.

She said forget it, just go on.

After much thanks and insistence I left the store. When I got my thoughts together, I realized I could have given her my check.

I had told her I would pay it forward but I really would like to pay her. This is a plea for her to call me. I’m in the phone book and I’ll meet her at Wal-Mart. If anyone knows her and what she did please have her call me. I will only meet her. Many blessings to this my special lady.

BASEBALL: MINOOKA 5, LOCKPORT 2

two innings.

The Indians (11-3) went up 3-2 with a run in the fifth, and then scored a pair without the benefit of a hit in the sixth to pull away from the Porters (7-9).

“We made four errors and you can’t do that against a team like Minooka,” Porters coach Andy Satunas said. “I was proud of our kids since they battled back from being down 2-0 but the sloppiness showed up again. In one inning, it seemed first and third and then it was first and third again. Unfortunately, we just had a breakdown.”

The Indians went up for good in the fifth when Brennan Polcyn singled home Neal Tyrell. An inning later, they benefited from a pair of

walks and three hit batters to collect the game’s final runs.

Jon Vesper and Kenny Walsh collected those tallies.

Lockport’s Cole Bellair allowed five hits and struck out four in five innings, while reliever Noah Masa recorded three strikeouts and did not give up a hit in two innings.

Minooka went up 2-0 in the third when Jake Null and Tyler Desmarais came home on errors.

But the Porters got a run back in the bottom of that frame when Tyler Hair singled in Lorenzo Blazekovich.

The Porters tied things up in the fourth when Mike Formella singled home Ryan Dalton, but the Indians moved back in front for good in the next at-bat and that proved to be enough run support to assure Butler of his fourth win.

“Even though I didn’t have all of my pitches working, I was able to spot them and when they hit them in the infield, my teammates made great plays,” Butler said. “My curveball was going into the dirt a lot and my catcher, [Tyler Desmarais], did a great job of blocking things. We were patient at the plate and also had good baserunning.”

LOCKPORT – Minooka baseball coach Jeff Petrovic has been able to count on good pitching and defense this season.

And while the Indians haven’t been scoring a lot of runs, they’ve used timely hitting and aggressive baserunning to take advantage of opportunities that come their way.

That was the story, again, Saturday when Minooka played at Lockport in the finale of an eight-game marathon involving all levels of baseball and softball teams that supported a good cause.

The Strike Out Cancer Day event at Flink Field in Lockport is a fundraiser for the Make Your Mark Foundation, which seeks a cure for pediatric cancer.

So while two traditional area teams met up for bragging rights, the game was about something bigger than just wins and losses.

That’s why Petrovic was pleased to see his team come away with a 5-2 victory over the Porters, while also being a part of the special evening.

“I’ve been here since 11 this morning watching all of the baseball and it was really fun,” Petrovic said. “It teaches the kids that there’s something bigger than the game and how lucky they are to do this every day. After listening to the sweet girl who sang the national anthem we realize that we are lucky to be able to play this game.

“Both of our guys threw the ball really well today. Joe Butler is only a sophomore but he looked like it was another day out there. And then we threw Mitch Vogrin in there at the end. We also played great defense and did the things that we needed to do in order to win today.

They gave us some opportunities and we were able to take advantage.”

Joe Butler went the first five innings and only allowed four hits while striking out five and then Mitch Vogrin recorded five strikeouts and didn’t allow a hit in the final

AREA BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Lewis drops a pair to USI STAFF REPORTS EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Lewis baseball team’s bats fell silent Friday as the Flyers dropped a Great Lakes Valley Conference doubleheader, 3-1 and 5-1, to No. 18 Southern Indiana.

In the first game, USI got on the board first in the second inning capitalizing on a lead-off double by Jonathon Wandling, when Trent Gunn picked up the RBI to give the home squad the lead.

The Flyers (19-17, 12-11) answered in the fifth when Alex Slaby singled to score Kyle Kapka.

USI quickly regained the lead, scoring a run in the bottom of the fifth. The Screaming Eagles also added a run in the sixth to go up 3-1.

Lewis starter Eann Cox suffered the loss in an eight-inning effort. He gave up three runs on eight hits, while striking out five and walking two.

In the second game, USI quickly took a 2-0 lead in the first, collecting runs on a hit and a Lewis miscue. The home squad added another run on a walk, one hit and a Flyer error.

The Flyers struck back in fourth, when Ben Albano doubled to right center and advanced to third on an er-

ror. Austin Mastela (Lockport) hit a sacrifice fly to deep right to score Albano.

Lewis starter Kendall Paluch (Joliet Catholic Academy) was credited with the loss, giving up five runs, two earned, in five innings of work while striking out one.

HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL Lemont 1, Sandburg 0: Jake Latz struck out 14 in a four-hit shutout for the Indians on Friday. Latz, an LSU recruit, walked just one.

Lemont scored in the top of the fourth, when Mike Wisz drove in Mike Papierski with a single.

Plainfield North 8, Glenbard South 3: Josh Garner struck out six in 3 2⁄3 innings to get the win for the Tigers (112). Richard Bryza was 3 for 3 with an RBI to lead the offense, while Jack Butler and Matt Welch were each 2 for 4 with two RBIs.

Plainfield East 3, Metea Valley 2: After four lead changes Saturday, Plainfield East (6-7-1) finally pulled out the win. Jeremy Dutton provided a pinch-hit, two-run single to give East the lead in the sixth inning, and Mitch Coughlin pitched a scoreless seventh for the save. Chipping in with two hits each were Anthony Bryan and Mike McGee. Cole Kotopka earned the win, al-

lowing one earned run, four hits and one walk while striking out four over six innings.

Joliet Catholic Academy 6-2, Marist 1-3: Nick Dalesandro led JCA to victory on the mound in Saturday’s opener.

Dalesadro pitched a complete game, limiting the Marist offense to only two hits while striking out eight. He helped his own cause offensively banging out two hits, including a double, and two RBIs. Mitch Boe (triple), Rylan Bannon (double) and Keegan Tyrell (two RBIs) also contributed two hits apiece. In the second game, Dalesandro, Tyrell and John Kalisik had two hits each for the Hilltoppers.

Providence Catholic 9, Fenwick 6 (10 inn.): Phil Kunsa hit a walk-off three-run homer in the bottom of the 10th for the Celtics. Richard Yusa and Zach Pych had three hits each, while Mike Madej had two RBIs.

Providence Catholic 3, New Trier 1: Jake Godfrey struck out 13 in the complete game while walking four and not allowing an earned run. Phil Kunsa led the offense with a two-run double.

Lincoln-Way North 4, Lemont 3: Mike Papierski had two hits to lead Lemont, while Eric Tucker doubled. Garrett Acton suffered the loss.

JOLIET – Good pitching and fielding, plus some timely hitting have been constants for the University of St. Francis baseball team since its early-season Florida trip.

Unsurprisingly, that combination of positives has resulted in a lot of success for the Saints during the past few weeks.

St. Francis received another good all-around effort Friday, and as a result, it captured its fifth straight victory, winning 12 of its last 13.

Sophomore Chris Blatti and senior Brad Porter combined to toss a four-hit shutout to help the Saints claim a 4-0 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference South Division win over Purdue University North Central at Silver Cross Field.

The 27-15 Saints not only improved to 13-0 on the season at their downtown home, but also maintained control atop the South Division standings with a 15-3 mark heading into Saturday’s doubleheader between the squads in Westville, Ind. Brandon Mendoza (two RBIs) and Mike Chimera each had two hits, and Porter also had an RBI as the Saints scored a run in the first inning and added single tallies in the fifth, sixth and seventh to pull away from the Panthers (16-21, 8-10).

“We’ve been getting good pitching performances,” Saints coach Brian Michalak said. “Our guys have been attacking the strike zone, and they’re not putting many extra runners on base. We’re not knocking the cover off the ball but we’ve been getting some timely hitting. And our baserunning and defense has been pretty good lately, too.

“Confidence is huge, and it makes it fun to come to the ballpark. Things seem to run a little bit smoother and go your way when you’re playing with confidence. We’ve played a lot

of one-run games and a lot of games where we’ve been behind but come back. We have a good group of guys who get along and like playing with and for each other.”

Blatti, a Joliet Catholic Academy graduate, improved to 5-2 after spreading four hits in eight innings, which featured setting down 10 straight hitters at one point. Porter retired all three hitters that he faced when called upon in the ninth.

“I’ve been struggling lately, so to get this type of performance was exciting,” Blatti said.

“They only hit a couple of balls hard and I got a lot of ground balls. Our pitching staff has been doing great and our hitting has been very timely and we’re making plays. We try to have fun on and off the field and also pick each other up when we’re down.”

The Saints scored the only run that they would need in their initial at-bat when Mendoza doubled in David Kuhne. They added a run in the fifth when Mendoza delivered a two-out single to bring home Kyle Burton.

In the sixth, Porter drove in courtesy runner Jackson Schnieders with a single.

An inning later, Mendoza reached on a fielders choice and then scored thanks to a wild pitch and an error.

PNC got a leadoff double in the eighth inning but left that man stranded at third.

After Blatti walked the leadoff man in the ninth, Plainfield North graduate Porter came in and retired the final three hitters.

“Everything seems to be clicking for us since we’ve gotten back from Florida,” Porter said.

“We’ve been stringing a lot of hits together, which is something that we struggled with earlier in the year. I like our resiliency and how we never give up, even when we’re down. I also think that this is the closest group that we’ve had in my four years here.”

COLLEGE BASEBALL: JJC 8, NORTH ARKANSAS 4

Pattison, Bolton contribute to Wolves’ offense

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, April 20, 2014

JOLIET – The Joliet Junior College baseball team is nothing if not deep.

Lockport graduate Jeff Pattison and Plainfield Central graduate Jonathan Bolton are not regulars in the strict sense, but when they get the chance, they contribute.

Pattison went 2 for 5 with a double and single, both of which knocked in a run, and Bolton tripled, singled and reached base four times in five plate appearances Friday afternoon as the Wolves rallied to beat North Arkansas College, 8-4.

“We had guys who have sat down a couple days, like Pattison, and got a chance [Friday] and came through,” JJC coach Wayne King said. “I like that.

“Really, there’s not a big difference between our starters and our other guys. We have 15 position players and any of them could play all the time.”

The Wolves and freshman right-hander Thomas Goodyear (Romeoville) trailed 4-2 after allowing three unearned runs in the top of the fourth inning. But their potent offense – they entered with a .343 team average – and aggressive baserunning turned the tables.

Pattison’s two-out double tied it in the fourth after a run had scored on a wild pitch.

Bolton ignited a four-run fifth when he reached on an error. Matt Filkins (Lincoln-Way Central) tripled in a run. Alex Bebar (Minooka) knocked in a run with a groundout and before the inning ended, Tyler Thorson (Minooka) singled in a run when his smash took a wicked hop and Pattison singled in another.

“Everyone on our team is good,” Bolton said. “When you get a chance, you have to do your best. You have to produce. It’s fun.”

Joliet Junior College’s Thomas Goodyear delivers a pitch during the third inning of Friday’s game against North Arkansas College. JJC defeated North Arkansas, 8-4.

Joliet Junior College’s Nick Andrade slides into third after a wild pitch during Friday’s game against North Arkansas College.

Goodyear (5-1) allowed one earned run on nine hits in seven innings of work. He and Jose Mendoza blanked North Arkansas without a hit over the final four innings. Mendoza retired all six hitters he faced.

“Goodyear gutted it out,” King said. “For not having his

change at all and being inconsistent with his curve, after a while he was throwing all fastballs.”

“It was a little rocky at the beginning,” said Goodyear, who struck out six and walked four. “Then I started hitting my spots more.”

Defense has been an issue

for the Wolves all season. The error that prolonged the top of the fourth inning, and led to the three unearned runs, was one of two they committed.

“Two errors, that’s good for us,” King said. “With the way we’ve been catching the ball, we’ll take it.”

On the plus side, second baseman Cameron Bass started a neat double play to help Goodyear escape a seventh-inning jam that two walks created. Earlier in the seventh, Pattison tracked down a fly to deep center field and made a nice catch.

In the eighth, third baseman Thorson barehanded a bunt and threw out the hitter on an excellent play. Earlier, Thorson laid down a perfect bunt himself for his second hit.

“When the defense plays back, laying down a bunt is an easy way to get a hit,” Thorson said. “The play on the bunt was more satisfying than laying one down, though. It was a

pretty good play.”

JJC, which took a 23-13 record into Saturday’s doubleheader at Rock Valley, totaled 11 hits, knocked in three runs on groundouts and employed the usual aggressive baserunning.

“We like to run the bases and swing the bats,” King said.

“That’s who we are. Getting the man in from third base a few times, I like to see that.”

Varsity, junior varsity win in 8-team event

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – You know that things are going pretty well for a track and field program when it not only wins a meet’s varsity division, but also finishes first in the junior-varsity event.

That’s just what Joliet West’s girls were able to accomplish Saturday when it hosted an eight-team invite.

The Tigers edged CreteMonee 123-118 for first place in the varsity competition and beat Prospect 120.5-111.5 for the junior-varsity title to cap the program’s big day.

“We had a phenomenal day and I’m so proud of the whole team,” Tigers coach Sally Pagnusat said. “We looked to score in all different areas since we knew that we’re pretty strong in every event and that we have girls on both levels who can compete.

“We looked at how we needed to score to win the meet. So even if Crete-Monee won an event, as long as we could get second and fourth, we’d rack up points, as well.

Everyone works really well together, whether it’s on a relay team or in the field events. This meet gives us good momentum as we go into the final stretch of our season.”

West’s only individual title was won by Melzina Johnson in the long jump (16foot-4). The Tigers also took first place in the 4x100-meter (50.52 seconds) and 4x800 (10:25.29) relays.

The 4x800 consisted of Courtney Rubino, Maria Arzate, Sarah Schalk and Lupe Diaz, while the 4x100 included Jade Mayes, Kayla Walker, Brandy Teague and Johnson.

“It feels great to be out here working hard together

Joliet West’s Kayla Walker takes off from the start in the 100-meter during Saturday’s track and field invitational meet at Joliet West High School. Both the varsity and the junior varsity team won the meet for the Tigers. as a team and to get this big win,” Johnson said. “[Saturday] was a very good day since the weather was nice and everybody worked hard. We have a lot of good sportsmanship on this team and we all cheer each other on. We’re happy to be in the sport and we’re together, like a family.”

West also received a second-place showing in the 4x200 (1:51.95) with Ruby Williams, Teague, Johnson and Brittany Thompson.

Williams placed second in the 100 (:12.77), Mayes had the same showing in the 100 hurdles (:15.83), Arzate was runner-up in the 800 (2:32.63), Kiersten Perry took second in the 1,600 (5:46.29) and Charlotte Youell had the same finish in the 3,200 (12:42.27).

The Tigers also received a pair of second-place efforts in the field events from Kier-

“It was good to see all of the girls give it their all, especially at our home meet,” Arzate said. “I think this also gives us a big boost of confidence, which will help everyone perform better in

our next meets. We have real good sportsmanship on our team and it’s good to have everyone cheering you on, which makes us want to give our all.”

Finishing fourth for the Tigers were Teague in the 200 (:27.29), Schalk in the 800

(2:41.96), Diaz in the 1,600 (5:53.67) and Jackie Rocha in the 3,200 (13:21.1).

Rachel MacDowell was fourth in the high jump (4-8) and fifth in the 400 (1:05.45), Walker placed fifth in the 100 (:13.19) and in the pole vault, Kat Adrien (7-0) and Amber Garcia tied for fifth.

“I think that this will really push us to do even better in our next meet,” said MacDowell, who also won the JV long jump. “This was one of the first times that some of us ran together on relays, so that helps since we have a lot of freshmen on the team.

I like how we’re all so close and everyone cheers for each other no matter how you’re doing.”

Plainfield South, which competed in Thursday’s Minooka Invite, received fourths from Kayla Castellanos in the 300 hurdles (:51.59) and from its 4x400 (4:39.1).

Freshman Ashley Tutt set a meet and school record in the 3,200-meter run with her time of 11 minutes and 8.11 seconds, while Janile Rogers set school outdoor records in both the long jump (19-0 ½) and the 400-meter (58.92). The long jump also was a meet record. Another meet record was set by the 4x400-meter relay team of Danyelle Myers, Mariah Divis, Moira McAsey and Ashleigh Wilson.

Other Minooka winners were Amber Jackson in the 100 (13.25), McAsey in the 800 (2:24.08), Mackenzie Callahan in the 1,600 (5:21.32), Rogers in the 200 (25.96), Brooklyn Bachmann in the pole vault (8-6) and the 4x100 relay team of Amber Jackson, Bethany Bachmann, Latricia Dean and Ashleigh Wilson.

JOLIET – University of St. Francis split a Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference softball doubleheader with Judson University on Friday at the Harlow-Lockwood Fields, falling 6-0 in Game 1 before rallying for a 3-2 win in the nightcap.

In Game 1, Judson took advantage of a USF error to score three unearned runs in the top of the first and again in the top of the seventh.

USF’s Caitlyn Balandis took the loss, despite not allowing an earned run. She yielded eight hits and one walk, while collecting five strikeouts.

In Game 2, Balandis and Kaley Jendraszak (Lincoln-Way East) combined for five hits, two runs and two RBIs as the Saints salvaged a split.

USF (15-17, 8-6) plated a pair of runs in the bottom of the second. Jendraszak led off with the first of her three hits and scored on Jessica Kuester’s base hit two batters later. Kuester then came around to score on a

line drive double to center field off the bat of Balandis.

The Saints made it 3-0 in the fourth when Balandis delivered a two-out single to right field to score Jendraszak, who led off the inning with a double. Jendraszak was 3 for 3 with two runs scored, while Balandis went 2 for 2 with two RBIs.

ST. LOUIS – Brent Seabrook walked quietly to his locker, turned toward the cameras and faced the music.

Actually, the Blackhawks’ veteran defenseman turned his back to the music.

Outside the visitors’ locker room, a happy ditty played on the organ and filtered through the Scottrade Center after the St. Louis Blues rallied Saturday afternoon to beat the Hawks, 4-3, in overtime.

It was odd, the contrast between the upbeat song and the downbeat Seabrook.

“I don’t know what else to tell you,” Seabrook said as more than a dozen reporters surrounded him and asked different versions of the same question. “I hope [David] Backes is feeling all right. I hope he’s doing OK. That’s all I can say.”

Soon after, Blues coach Ken Hitchcock offered an update on his injured player.

“How do you think he is?”

Hitchcock said. “Not great.”

Seabrook should be suspended multiple games for the hit, which left Backes dazed and unable to stand up straight in the moments that followed. Backes, who already had a history of concussions, could miss the rest of the series.

Replays left little room for argument. At the point of contact, Seabrook drilled his right shoulder directly into Backes’ head, causing the Blues’ forward to ricochet backward and slam his head where the glass meets the boards.

“I’d say that’s the stuff that we’re trying to get out of the game,” Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo said. “It’s a dangerous hit.”

This is the dark underbelly of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Players put in so much work throughout a grueling regular season to get to this point, and when they finally make it, they seemingly lose the ability to know when enough is enough.

So, we see head shots.

Concussions. The threat of long-term brain trauma.

Perhaps more than any major sports team in Chica-

VIEWS Tom Musick go, the Hawks are a likeable team filled with likeable players. They do great work for the community, they appreciate their huge numbers of die-hard fans, and they never quit on a game or a season.

But something was different about Game 2. Too often, the Hawks were unlikeable.

It was disappointing when Hawks forward Bryan Bickell stuck out his leg near center ice for a knee-to-knee blow against the Blues’ Vladimir Sobotka. Bickell was penalized for kneeing, and Sobotka was lucky to be able to skate off of the ice.

Bickell’s hit wasn’t a hockey play, it was a dirty play. Imagine the outcry if someone on the Blues had tried to pull the same move on Jonathan Toews or Patrick Kane.

Even worse was Seabrook’s vicious hit against Backes late in the third period. Seabrook received a five-minute major for charging and a game misconduct, which opened the door for the Blues to tie the game with 6.4 seconds to go in regulation.

Less than six minutes into overtime, the Blues scored

again to grab a 2-0 series lead.

Expect the NHL to make an announcement Sunday regarding Seabrook, who was playing a terrific game until the hit. He said everything happened fast.

“I was just trying to make a play on Backes,” Seabrook said. “I thought the puck was there, I was on [Alexander] Steen, I was just coming down the wall and I just tried to finish my hit. …

“I feel bad seeing a guy like that on the ice. I’ve been there myself, and I’m not trying to target his head, I’m not trying to do anything like that.”

But it happened. It was ugly. And for the first time in a long time, the Hawks resembled unlikeable bullies more than dazzling playmakers.

“We were a pretty disciplined team all year,” Hawks coach Joel Quenneville said.

“You have to have emotion when you play St. Louis and you have to be smart at the same time. There’s a balance thing that’s necessary, and be smart [about] it.”

On Saturday, the Hawks were on the wrong side of that balance.

Life-size tomb constructed for Joliet church

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – He is not here.

He has risen. These words are the foundation of the Christian Easter experience.

What if, said the Rev. Loy Schlote at Our Savior Lutheran Church in Joliet, we could surprise people with a lifelike tomb, stone rolled away, when they walked into worship at sunrise on Easter morning?

Schlote knew the perfect man for the project: Bob Harringer of Shorewood, the official church builder.

Harringer already had constructed the 10-by-5-foot cross – in three different shadings of wood – that hangs in the sanctuary behind the altar, Schlote said, as well as the church’s Christmas manger scene.

“My dad was a carpenter, so I know many of those skills,” said Harringer, an environmental health and safety manager for Alcatel-Lucent in Naperville.

In the narthex entranceway, in an area for remembering servicemen and woman, Harringer constructed picture frames for photos of church members (in uniform) and a wood prayer plaque, Schlote said.

“He hand-cut all the letters in the prayer, too,” Schlote said.

So Schlote shared his idea with Harringer who also liked it. The concept “percolated for a year” until January, when Harringer assembled a volunteer crew: Tim Virtue, Jodi Page, Jon Ellis, Megan Ellis, Colleen Robbins, John Knoop and Don Larson, all members of Our Savior Lutheran Church.

An avid model railroader, Harringer saw the similarities between constructing scenery for the trains and creating the tomb. Harringer considered the best materials for the 15-foot wide and 8-foot tall piece. Paper mache was too messy; plywood and foam

Members of the Our Savior Lutheran Church put together a life-size tomb at the entrance of the sanctuary before Easter services Saturday. The tomb was modeled after several historical tombs believed to be possible burial locations of Jesus.

The tomb made by the Our Savior Lutheran Church in Joliet during its construction phase. A flat wire paint-scraper brush added the “joints” in the “limestone.” would be sturdier.

“Actually the foam is the kind of four by eight sheets that you put on houses for insulation,” Harringer said.

“It’s easy to get – Home Depot is five minutes away from the house – and it comes in big pieces.”

Harringer said the stone

that is rolled away from the tomb is 6-feet in diameter and about 5-inches thick. He made it in two pieces, for easy storage. The frames are wood, with foam insulation glued onto that wooden framework, he added.

The stone’s back bot tom portion is permanently fixed to a base, so the stone stands up-right and immobile, he said. Harringer even “carved” the foam sheets using a drill and a circular wire brush to add texture. He pulled a flat wire paint-scraper brush over the textured surface to create a “joints in limestone rock” effect, he said.

Harringer painted the entire piece to fill in “the peaks and valleys.” He then took a paint roller and rolled the entire piece with “limestone” color. The idea was to avoid the “valleys” while retaining the base color, he said.

To lend an illusion of color variety and highlights, Harringer “dry brushed” various places with earth colors.

He then likewise with black paint, to draw out the other colors and make them look real.

“This is the same technique I use when building models for my railroad,” Harringer said “only [this was] on a much larger scale.”

To enhance the realism, Virtue added two details.

One as a Roman “spear.”

The staff is a plastic tube; the spear is gray-painted, handcarved wood, Harringer said.

To attach the pieces, Virtue wrapped them with twine, Harringer said.

“Much the way a weapon would have been made,” Harringer said.

Virtue also made two “seals,” one to be used when the tomb is “sealed” and the other with its centerpiece is halved to simulate a broken seal, Harringer said. Virtue constructed the seals from wood panted gray and then added the face of a Roman emperor.

The seal, Harringer said, resembles a leather belt, with the seal in the buckle’s place.

The belt will stretch across the face of the stone and the ends will be fastened to its back.

“The Idea is that when the ‘stone’ is in front of the tomb, we will use the unbroken seal,” Harringer said. “When we display the stone – rolled away from the tomb – we will use the broken seal.”

Working weekends (Harringer also took three vacation days), Harringer estimates he and the volunteers racked up 100 man hours, twice the amount Harringer initially anticipated. Creating the tomb produced a side benefit: Lenten meditation.

“Your mind is thinking about what you’re trying to portray, a sense that you’re actually walking into the tomb like the Christians did on that first Easter Sunday,” Harringer said. “It’s so much more than, ‘Oh isn’t that nice? It looks like a tombstone.’ ”

Cindi Goron Joliet resident two hours,” Goron said.

This is Goron’s fourth visit to Washington, D.C. The first was her eighth-grade class trip; the second was about 10 years later with her mother accompanying her; and the third happened when Dennis, a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Virginia, was in school.

When researching the White House Easter Egg Roll, Goron learned she had to apply at www.recreation. gov. With each unsuccessful attempt, Goron considered how to increase her odds. Out of the six event times, Goron had always picked a midday one. What if she chose 7:30 a.m.?

So Goron did. And she “won” five tickets.

The entire process, Goron

said, is online. She has not once talked to a person. Goron is not worried. All communication, she said, “looks official” with “the seal and everything.” Still, Goron wishes she could follow up by phone and not because of any doubts.

“I have a couple of questions,” Goron said. “Like if we’re supposed to bring an Easter basket.”

The family planned to fly out Saturday with intentions to attend an Easter Sunday sunrise service at Arlington National Cemetery. Other than the Easter Egg Roll, the family plans to spend their time sightseeing. Goron can only think of one downside to Chloe participating in the White House event.

“She still believes in the Easter bunny,” Goron said.

Pauline Secrest Hamilton 103rd Birthday

• Sunday, April 20, 2014

JOLIET – The subject line in Cindi Goron’s email read: “White House Easter Egg Roll Ticket Redemption Instructions.”

Stunned, Goron, of Joliet, quickly scrolled down. The first word in the email’s body said, “Congratulations.” Finally, Goron’s five years of playing the “lottery” had paid off.

This year, Goron would not host the official family Easter egg hunt or offer a large chocolate bunny for the finder of the golden egg. This Easter, the Goron family would not hatch baby chickens and then send them to a friend’s farm around the chickens’ onemonth birthday.

Instead, Goron, her husband Dennis Goron – a retired Joliet Police Department sergeant, and their children Kyle, 14; Connor, 13; and Chloe, 10, would have a patriotic, Washington, D.C.-based Easter, one that included hunting for Easter Eggs on Monday on the White House front lawn.

It was a dream come true.

“We really enjoy history,” Goron said. Dennis, she added, even began the Joliet Police Honor Guard in 1998.

“Now my kids will be able to see all the things they studied in school. We’re going to try to put as much into four days as we can.”

According to www.whitehouse.gov/eastereggroll, more than 30,000 people will attend the 136th annual White House Easter Egg Roll. Additional event features include live music, sports courts, cooking stations and storytelling.

The theme is “Hop into Healthy, Swing into Shape.”

Goron thinks the boys are too old to hunt for Easter eggs but she is not worried.

“There’s lots to do in those

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Sunday, April 20, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Samuel Johnson, an 18th-century English essayist, said, “The two offices of memory are collection and distribution.”

One of the offices of success at the bridge table is collection of information, which might involve hand distribution – as in this deal.

South is in four hearts after East opened one club. West leads his lowest club. East wins with his king, cashes his ace, and continues with a third round to declarer’s queen. How should South continue?

South’s leap to four hearts has two ways to win: The contract might make, or he might talk his opponents out of a higher-scoring contract.

South seems to have 11 tricks: two spades, seven hearts, one diamond and one club. And that will be true if hearts are 2-1.

But when declarer learns that clubs are 3-3, what must East’s hand distribution be?

There is only one answer: 4-3-3-3. (If he had four diamonds, he would have opened one diamond, not one club.) So South does not have a trump entry to the board. And surely East has the diamond king for his opening bid. What can declarer do?

There is a clever solution.

After winning the third trick, South should cash two top trumps, then sacrifice a heart trick by leading a low heart.

East takes the trick with his jack, but what can he do now?

Nothing! East has to lead a spade or a diamond, which gives declarer access to the dummy.

Note that East cannot play his heart jack earlier, because dummy’s eight would become an entry.

Teenage girl’s boyish figure is often deceiving Mom dissatisfied with Dear Abby: I’m a 14-year-old girl with a problem. Because of my buzzed short hair, slim hips and flat chest, I frequently get mistaken for a boy. It really bothers me because, despite my haircut and body shape, I have a feminine face and I wear women’s clothes and makeup. I’m not too much of a tomboy.

Sometimes when someone addresses me with a male pronoun or in some other way mistakes me for a male, I’m too nervous to correct them. Is there a clever or witty way to correct the mistake?

– Not A Boy In Brooklyn, N.Y. Dear Not A Boy: The person who made the mistake is the one who should be embarrassed, not you.

If it happens again, all you need to do is smile and say, “I’m all girl.”

Dear Abby: I have been dating a woman, and I am considering proposing to her. We have discussed engagement rings and she wants to design her own, which I think is great. However, I am unsure exactly what to do regarding the actual proposal. What ring should

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I give her, knowing that whatever I give her will not be her ultimate engagement ring? – Soon To Pop The Question Dear Soon to Pop: Marriage proposals happen in many situations and in many ways. There are no rules, and dropping to one knee and offering a ring is optional.

The engagement does not begin when a woman starts wearing a ring; it begins when she accepts the proposal. All you need to do is say, “Will you marry me?” When she says yes, you can then decide when you both would like to select a stone for her engagement ring.

Dear Abby: A longtime friend asked me to be executor of her estate a few years ago, and I agreed.

As time has passed, the details of the estate have changed several times. After the recent death of

her husband, she again changed the beneficiaries and is now leaving almost half a million dollars to two animal shelters.

It’s her money to do with as she chooses, and I don’t judge her.

I do, however, have a problem executing an estate that gives that much money to animal care when it could help so many people. I don’t fault her for wanting to do it; I just don’t want to be part of it.

I’m afraid asking her to find another executor would damage or end our friendship. Please tell me what to do. – Dilemma In Texas Dear Dilemma: Let’s face it.

You ARE judging the woman and you DO fault her for wanting to leave a fortune to four-footed needy creatures instead of bipeds.

Because you are uncomfortable with her plan, you must tell her she needs to find another executor who is as committed to animal causes as she is. You’ll be doing her a favor.

Consistent oral hygiene will get rid of bad breath Dear Doctor K: My breath is OK during the day, but when I wake up in the morning, it’s terrible.

What causes bad morning breath?

And what can I do to prevent it?

Dear Reader: Bad breath, or halitosis, is a common problem – especially “morning breath.” (Some people call it “dragon breath.”)

Certain foods can cause bad breath. Garlic and onions are classic examples. Reflux of stomach contents can do the same. So can serious diseases of the liver or kidneys. Infections of the tonsils, sinuses or respiratory tract can also be responsible for bad breath.

But the most common cause of bad breath in the morning are bacteria that reside in your mouth. Like us, bacteria need food to live. They get their food from substances that cover our gums, tongue and throat, and that fill the spaces between our teeth. When bacteria “digest” their food, they make various bad-smelling gases, including sulfides and amines.

These bad-smelling gases are most likely to be produced at night. That’s because during the night most of us do a lot of breathing through our mouth. That causes saliva to dry out, and the dry environment encourages the bacteria to produce more gases.

Any medication or condition that

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff reduces the flow of saliva can do the same. Morning breath is unpleasant, but it can be quickly relieved by rinsing your mouth with water or mouthwash.

Halitosis that lasts throughout the day is also triggered by the wide range of bacteria that live in everyone’s mouth. When you don’t brush your teeth twice daily, there is more “food” around for the bacteria in your mouth.

Poor oral hygiene also increases the amount of dental plaque, and bacteria love to live in the plaque. Diseases of your gums and structures supporting the teeth can allow these bacteria to get the upper hand and cause halitosis.

Even when teeth and gums are healthy, dentists suspect that bacteria on the tongue contribute to bad breath.

If you have bad breath, here’s what to do: • Keep the saliva flowing. Drink plenty of water and chew sugarless gum.

• Avoid antihistamines and other medications that dry the mouth, if alternative medicines

work just as well.

• See your dentist regularly and get prompt treatment for any problems.

• Get your teeth cleaned by a dental hygienist at least twice a year.

• Practice meticulous oral hygiene. That means flossing regularly and brushing your teeth – and tongue -- diligently.

That’s right, the tongue. Brushing the upper surface of your tongue every time you brush your teeth removes a lot of gas-producing bacteria.

• Avoid foods (like onions and garlic) that you find make your breath smell bad.

• Don’t smoke or chew tobacco.

They encourage the growth of mouth bacteria and irritate the nose and sinuses, making them more vulnerable to infection.

• Use an antibacterial mouthwash.

• Keep breath mints on hand for a quick, if temporary, cover-up.

Finally, relax. It’s simple to reduce bad breath in the morning.

daughter’s B-average Dr. Wallace: In eighth grade I was a straight-A student. Now that I’m in ninth grade, my grades have slipped a little, and that made my mother very upset and angry.

My first semester grades were two A’s and four B’s.

For this, I was put on restriction for two months and forced to study three hours every school night and four hours every weekend day. I was told I had to improve my grades this semester or I’d have to go to summer school for six weeks, which would mean that I wouldn’t be able to attend summer camp with my Girl Scout group.

My problem is that the second semester is almost over and my grades are still two A’s and four B’s. I’ve done my best, but for my mother, that’s not good enough. When my report card comes out, I’ll be in big trouble.

My mother was born in Japan, and Japanese people put a lot of pride in being a top student.

She feels that I really let her down.

What can I do to make her understand that I’m not a straight-A student, but that I do my very best in all of my classes? Oh, yes, I almost forgot to tell you that I’m on the school honor roll. – Lei, San Diego, Calif.

Dear Lei: You are living proof that student grades are really for the parents, not for the students. Whenever a school district considers eliminating the letter grading system, the parents rise up in protest and the school district caves in.

Hearing about students being punished for maintaining a B-plus average frustrates me.

Parents who are obsessed about grades and

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace are satisfied only with an “all-A’s report card” do a grave injustice to their children. They should ask only that their children work up to their capabilities.

No one can do better than that – not even the parents themselves.)

Explain your situation to your school counselor and ask him or her to invite your mother to school for a brief discussion about the role of the parents in the education of their children. You deserve to attend Girl Scout summer camp. I sure hope Mom agrees.

Dr. Wallace: Please tell me a place to go that will help me. Both my parents are alcoholics even though they are employed at present.

All night all they do is drink and fight and it’s hard for me to concentrate on my homework.

I’m 15 years old, but if I had a place to go to I’d leave home. I used to be a good student, but lately I can’t stand school and my grades are slipping. Please tell me what I can do to make my life better – I need a friend. – Kenny, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Kenny: You have a friend in ALA-TEEN. This marvelous organization is a part of ALANON and was created to help teens who have alcoholic parents. Look up the telephone number in the white pages of your phone book.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

By CHRIS RICHARDS The Washington Post Before the Internet, record stores provided the three-dimensional turf necessary for big nerds to have huge arguments over tiny things.

That’s one of the reasons Record Store Day – an annual salute to brick-and-mortar record shops taking place coast-to-coast this Saturday – is worth celebrating. Sure, there’s a door-busting retail element to the event that frazzles store owners, but Record Store Day ultimately reminds us that we still have gathering places to debate which Funkadelic album has the sickest guitar solos.

But in recent years, one of the itchiest record store disputes has been generational. And it hasn’t been about music. It’s been over a word.

Vinyls.

Step into a record store any other day of the year, and you’ll probably witness something like this: A whippersnapper comes bouncing in, asking if there are any Rolling Stones “vinyls” for sale. The clerk cringes. Older customers roll their eyeballs skyward and skullward.

Those beautiful black circles are called records. Or LPs. “Vinyl” is acceptable, but never “vinyls.”

Last month, during the South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, I popped into Waterloo Records, one of the most smartly-stocked record shops in the country. At the register, they were peddling refrigerator magnets touting the law of the land: “THE PLURAL OF VINYL IS VINYL.” I let out a smug chuckle.

Until I saw a tween waiting in line to pay for her

Record Store Day – an annual salute to record shops taking place coast-to-coast – will take place Saturday, April 19. records/vinyls. She read the magnets’ decree out loud, then scrunched her face with confusion.

Could you blame her? As a format, vinyl nearly disappeared in the late ’80s, only to come creeping back in recent years.

In January, Nielsen Soundscan reported that sales of vinyl records in the U.S. jumped from 4.5 million in 2012 to 6.0 million units sold in 2013. That means something once practically obsolete has become brand new to a generation of music enthusiasts and they’re using their English-speaking instincts to talk about it.

Think about it. If you enjoy listening to music on the cassette format, you collect cassettes. If you enjoy listening to music on the CD format, you collect CDs. And if you enjoy listening to music on the vinyl format, you collect vinyls, right?

Nooooooooo, cry the

Record Store Day is a celebration of vinyl, which nearly disappeared in the late ’80s. grizzled record collectors and shop lurkers (like me) who helped keep places like Waterloo afloat for years before vinyl made its flashy comeback. The plural of vinyl is vinyl!

So is it?

Language Log, a blog dedicated to language and linguistics, went bounding

into these weeds two years ago and came back with some very interesting results.

First, the blog’s co-founder Mark Liberman tried to discern if “vinyl” qualified as a mass noun, sometimes called an uncountable noun.

These nouns – such as cheese, beer and wine – refer “to stuff that comes in variable but conceptually undifferentiated quantities that are measured rather than counted,” Liberman wrote.

But Liberman also asserted that mass nouns could be put through a process he called countification, “whereby the plural form of a mass noun can be used to refer to more than one type or instance of the named category of stuff.”

Which is why nobody gives us funny looks when we talk about different kinds of cheeses, beers and wines. “Vinyls” seems to fit nicely into that group, doesn’t it?

Others might consider “vinyl” to be a zero plural – a plural that’s identical to its singular form, such as deer, fish, scissors and buffalo – but Liberman thinks otherwise.

Regarding the “vinyl is the plural of vinyl” rule, he concludes, “This is an unusually pure case of peevological emergence, without either tradition or logic on its side, and also (as far as I can tell) without any single authoritative figure behind the idea.”

And who wants to hang out at a record store filled with authority figures, anyway?

Shouldn’t the local record shop be a place where young radicals can defy their cranky, language snob elders?

So carry on, kids. Call them “vinyls.” Anyone who loves record stores should be overjoyed you’re calling them anything at all.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your sense of humor will help you escape an awkward situation. You will meet with opposition if you try to force your opinions on others.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Keep your composure today. Tension and anger will escalate if you are stubborn. If you make improvements at home, you won’t have time to get into family squabbles.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – A friend is likely to develop stronger feelings toward you.

Make sure your intentions are clear, or your relationship may have a bitter ending. Leading someone on will make you look bad.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Children should be included in your plans. Be cautious when it comes to affairs of the heart. You could be in for a surprise if the person you fancy doesn’t feel the same way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Show how much you care by including the ones you love in enjoyable social activities. Helping others out will make you feel more secure in your own environment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Do something to enhance your looks and your self-esteem.

Your emotions will take over if you get involved in a dispute with someone you care about. Diplomacy will be required.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Entertainment doesn’t have to be expensive. Getting together with friends or relatives for a night of games or dancing is a good way to add some spark to your life.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – As much as you would like to help others, it’s not practical to donate money that you can ill afford to part with. Offer your time and services instead, and keep spending to a minimum.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You have a lot of energy to burn. Do something physical and reap the health benefits. Participating in sports or other challenges will stimulate your mind as well as your body.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You may be at a crossroads in your life. By staying in the background, you will have the ability to listen and learn from people who can help alter your life.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t forget to take a little personal time today. It’s great to be considerate and caring, but you could use a little pampering as well. Save your charitable efforts for another time.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Avoid arguments to reduce your frustration level. A partner may have set priorities that conflict with yours. Carry on and get your own projects out of the way first.

BEST BETS ± 7 p.m. NBC 5 American Dream Builders: In this new episode, the designers must make over two craftsman-style houses and incorporate a home office into each. One homeowner is a personal trainer, so Team Blue leader Nina Magon makes use of Darren Moore’s background in fitness to install an eco-friendly home gym. Team Red’s house belongs to a chef, so site manager Erinn Valencich makes sure a great kitchen is part of the renovation. Nate Berkus hosts “California Craftsman.”

± 7 p.m. HALL Signed, Sealed, Delivered: It’s from Martha Williamson, the creator of “Touched by an Angel,” so you know this new drama series will tug at your heartstrings. Eric Mabius, Kristin Booth, Crystal Lowe and Geoff Gustafson star as postal workers who specialize in getting undeliverable mail to its intended recipients — changing lives in the process.

± 8 p.m. ABC 7 Movie: In My Dreams: Legend has it that if you throw a coin into a certain fountain and make a wish, you’ll dream of your true love for seven days. There’s a catch, though: If you don’t meet that person face to face within those seven days, you’re out of luck.
