Lucky Day Lotto Midday: JOLIET – An area of the first floor of the Will County Courthouse buckled and broke Tuesday afternoon.

About 1:15 p.m., a 12-foot section of bricks between the second and third elevators split and rose up about six inches off the floor, Court Administrator Kurt Sangmeister said.

No one was injured. Sangmeister said an engineer and emergency manager inspected the basement and confirmed there were no gas or water leaks. Sangmeister said a similar incident occurred last year in a smaller area that isn’t as busy.

“We’re told the glue that was holding the brick to the concrete underneath failed,” Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said Tuesday afternoon.

The courthouse remained open, but Will County Sheriff’s deputies directed visi-

Schoenstedt and Sangmeister expected temporary repairs would be made overnight and the courthouse would be open as usual Wednesday.

Will County Board member and attorney Ragan Fre-

Schoenstedt and the County Board have been discussing ways to pay for replacing the 45-year-old building, which has been described as overcrowded and outdated.

Nurses rally for safer staffing levels at Presence Saint Joseph

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – More than a dozen union nurses gathered Tuesday at the intersection of Jefferson and Springfield streets in Joliet to promote what they said would be safer staffing levels at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

The nurses, part of the Illinois Nurses Association, are in contract negotiations with administrators at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center. Union members want the contract to include mandatory staffing levels that would fluctuate based on need and nurse-to-patient ratio.

The nurses gathered and waved to motorists during rush-hour traffic ahead of the next contract negotiations, which take place Friday.

“We are trying to have staffing ratios similar to the staffing ratios in California [hospitals],” said Pam Buckley, Presence Saint Joseph nurse.

Lisa Lagger, spokeswoman for Presence Saint Joseph, said mandated staffing ratios are unproven to have positively influenced patient outcomes on such factors as mortality rates, failure to rescue, hospital-acquired conditions and medication errors.

“We believe a far more effective approach is one where leaders and staff nurses work together to optimize unit level resources for the best and safest care for our patients,” she wrote in an email.

Mayor Thomas Giarrante attended Tuesday’s rally, noting he came after getting a call from a nurse. He said he

supports the contract negotiations coming to an agreeable conclusion for both parties.

“It’s a two-way street,” he said. “Nurses need the hospital and the hospital need its nurses.”

Contract negotiations began in January. Earlier this month, union members rejected the hospital’s three-year contract offer that affects about 800 nurses.

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

Nurse Pat Meade said the staffing levels being sought would allow nurses to better serve patients.

“Patients come from the greater Joliet area because of the care we deliver,” she said.

“We’re proud of that and we want to maintain that.”

Pilcher Park’s dam one of 16 statewide targeted for demolition

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com

• Wednesday, April 23, 2014

JOLIET – The future of the Pilcher Park Dam on Hickory Creek is foggy.

What the Joliet Park District and the host of state and federal agencies involved in the dam’s future will do still remains to be seen, Dominic Egizio, the district’s executive director, said.

“The next step is to determine what’s behind it [the dam] and if it can be removed,” Egizio said during an open house and special meeting Tuesday of the Joliet Park District Board at the Pilcher Park Nature Center.

About 40 people turned out for the meeting, which featured several displays presented by civil engineers from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife want the dam removed to restore aquatic habitat on Hickory Creek lost during flood control modifications made there from 1985 to 2005

by IDNR, said Rick Gosch, a planning manager with the state agency.

The district’s main concern is liability, Egizio said. The concrete surface of the Depression-era structure is cracking and peeling.

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

The dam is one of 16 aging, nonfunctional 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.

At Hickory Creek, this means water levels will fluctuate in response to rain and outflows from storm sewers and waste water treatment plants that discharge into the waterway, according to park district officials. The 3,000-foot-long pool behind

DAM’S FUTURE UNCERTAIN

Water from Hickory Creek pours over the Pilcher Park Dam in Joliet on Tuesday. the dam would be reduced in depth and width to a free-flowing state similar to the section of Hickory Creek near Gougar Road.

IDNR says the restoration will allow fish and mussels to migrate upstream, improving conditions for both endangered species and for local fishermen.

Several residents of the Highland Park neighborhood who live near the dam spoke out against the plan at the meeting.

Dr. Helen Straus said the decision to demolish the dam already appears to have been made by the Corps.

“We haven’t heard anything about why it would be a good idea to take the dam out,” Straus said.

Jeff Lindstrom, a retired biologist and member of the Save the Pilcher Park Dam Facebook group, also ques-

Pilcher Park Dam removal timeline “If somebody has the money to tear it out, they • Stream survey – November 2013 should have money to • Sediment sampling – April 2014 • Hydraulic and geomorphologic assessment of the dam removal – renovate it.”

“My major concern is why does it have to be removed?”

Lindstrom said. “Why can’t it be renovated?”

Lindstrom said he was told by a former IDNR engineer that the dam would cost about $600,000 to renovate.

“If somebody has money to tear it out, they should have money to renovate it,” Lindstrom said.

Debra Perrie told the board that “a lot of people think you are going to dry up Hickory

Creek” if the dam is removed.

Jay Gregory, who owns 15 acres along the waterway, said Hickory Creek was beautiful above the dam and all the way back to Frankfort. But the creek below the dam is another story because of all the flood control work, he said.

“If you take out the dam, it will just be a channel from here to the river that you can dump your sewage in,” Greg-

ory said.

But not everyone was against demolishing the dam.

Bruce Renwick, an Audubon Society member, said free-flowing water would be more beneficial to birds and wildlife.

“I don’t see the dam as being necessary or useful,” Renwick said. “It’s just a place to grow algae. ... It’s just another retention pond.”

Colleges mull providing free textbooks

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – College teachers and administrators showed enthusiasm for the idea of making textbook materials free through the federal government at a roundtable discussion headed

by U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, R-Naperville.

Providing free textbook materials to college students could also make things much easier for University of St. Francis faculty members, said Debra Bacharz, associate professor of nursing at USF. “We struggle [with cost] because we want students to have ... the books we think are important, and so cost is always a consideration,” Bacharz said.

“There’s a balance. How good is [the material?] How much is it?

Will they actually buy it? Will they actually use it and open it up and own it? It’s an important conversation to have.”

Bacharz was one of several

University of St. Francis President Arvid Johnson (left) sits with U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, during a roundtable discussion with faculty, staff and students Tuesday at USF regarding Foster’s legislation to develop free, open-source textbook materials to college students. faculty members and university administrators who attended Foster’s roundtable discussion at USF regarding legislation that aims to make textbook material freely accessible to the general public.

USF President Arvid Johnson, Joliet Junior College Presi-

dent Debra Daniels and a small number of students also joined in on the discussion.

The legislation could lessen the financial burden for college students, Foster said.

“One of the biggest barriers to college today is the cost,” he said. “Textbooks, unfortunate-

ly, are a big part of that.”

The average four-year university student spends an estimated $1,222 a year on college books and supplies, according to data from the College Board, a national nonprofit. At the same time, the price of college textbooks has increased by 82 percent between 2002 and 2012, or three times faster than the rate of inflation, Foster said.

Under the proposal, certain federal agencies would be required to collaborate and put funding towards the development of open-source materials in core freshman-level math and science classes. The National Science Foundation would be responsible for the development of the materials, he said.

USF President Arvid Johnson said the bill is a “good start” that will do more than save students money. An open-source program also could greatly increase how quickly corrections and new discoveries can be made, he said.

“It will provide longstanding resource, one that can be updated to ensure that other users … will have access to the latest information and developments,”Johnson said. “The Low Cost Act has potential to be a solid step forward and to provide an important option for faculty members.”

Several USF faculty members pointed to the difficulty of passing such legislation without the backing of textbook publishers. JJC President Debra Daniels said publishers and faculty members are key stakeholders in this debate.

“In many cases, publishers market their products directly to faculty, the individuals who design core curriculum and determine which texts are used from year to year,” she said.

“Buy-in support from faculty are key to successful implementation. In essence, we need to modify our institutional behaviors for this work to succeed.”

Joliet woman Police investigate two shootings from Monday killed in head-on

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 23-year-old man is expected to survive being shot four times at close range 10:45 p.m. Monday.

The shooting was the second to occur in the Joliet area on Monday. A man was shot to death earlier in the day just outside city limits. No one had been arrested in either shooting as of early Tuesday evening.

The victim was shot in the head, neck and upper torso, but was conscious and spoke with police, Chief Brian Benton said.

Benton said police were called to the 700 block of Richards Street, where the victim

was inside a car parked in a driveway.

“It appears he was meeting with another man and they argued in the car,” Benton said.

The Joliet man was taken to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood. His injuries are not life-threatening, according to reports.

Investigations Lt. Brian Dupuis said Tuesday morning police had identified a suspect and were seeking an arrest warrant.

Police do not believe there is any connection between that confrontation and a fatal shooting that occurred Monday afternoon just outside the city limits in the 400 block of Algonquin Street.

Robert J. Garcia, 16, was walking to the driveway of

a friend’s house when he was gunned down by a man wearing a gray hoodie who had covered his face.

“The victim had known gang connections. It’s unknown if he was the target of the attack because there were a number of people near the garage he was going into,” Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said Tuesday.

Kaupas said no suspects have been identified, but detectives were conducting interviews Tuesday.

Joliet police also responded to a call of shots fired at 10:20 p.m. Monday in the 600 block of Richmond Street. Dupuis said officers arrived to find a shell casing in the street, but no damage or injuries were reported.

Man who beat police officer gets supervised outings

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Adam M. Mihelich will be allowed supervised outings from the mental institution where he has been held since a 2009 incident in which he brutally beat a Joliet police officer and threatened to burn down an ex-girlfriend’s house.

Mihelich, 34, has responded well enough to medication and therapy that Judge Gerald Kinney decided Tuesday he is eligible to take unsupervised walks outside the Elgin Mental Health Center and supervised trips to the library or a community program.

“In November 2016, [Mihelich] will be released whatever we do or don’t do,” Kinney said. “What I see here is an effort to make sure he will function in the community.”

Mihelich is the son of Joliet Junior College board Chairman Andrew Mihelich, who attended the hearing.

Dr. Faiza Kareemi, a psychologist who has been treating Mihelich for two years, said he has been “clinically and behaviorally stable for some time” and the staff feels outings are the next step in his rehabilitation.

At the clinic, Mihelich will

be allowed outside for 30 minutes up to three times a day to walk around the grounds.

There is a 4-foot fence with cameras and security guards, but the gate is open, Kareemi said.

For outings, one staffer supervises every three patients, with no more than nine patients in a group at one time.

On June 9, 2009, Mihelich got two gallons of gasoline and went to his ex-girlfriend’s house in the Wesmere subdivision. The woman’s mother and grandmother called police when Mihelich began throwing flower pots through the windows and threatened to burn down the house.

Joliet police officer Joe Gerrettie arrived to confront Mihelich who “charged him like a bull, put him in a bear hug and began head-butting him,” police said at the time. Gerrettie was then beaten for three minutes as Mihelich tried to unholster his gun before another officer arrived, police said.

Gerrettie suffered brain injuries that led to his early retirement the following year. He died in January 2013.

Mihelich was tried for attempted arson and aggravated battery to a police officer, but found not guilty by reason of insanity in November 2009.

Attorney found guilty for throwing barroom punch

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The attorney who punched a stranger in a Braidwood bar two years ago has been found guilty of aggravated battery.

Judge Edward Burmilla said Tuesday that Kenneth Grnacek’s belief he was acting in self-defense when he turned from arguing with the bartender to striking Caryn Miller was “not only unreasonable but [his actions] verge on malicious.”

A courtroom audience of attorneys and judges watched Burmilla announce the verdict and then order Grnacek to have a case he had been working on before Burmilla immediately reassigned to another judge.

Grnacek and his attorney, Ira Goldstein, had no comment after the verdict.

On Dec. 24, 2012, Grnacek was drinking in the Korner Keg, 285 E. Main St., when he ordered pizza from bartender

Kiley Murphy and complained that it took too long to arrive.

“The defendant testified Miss Murphy was ‘smart-alecky and cocky’ and treated him with contempt all evening,” Burmilla said.

When Murphy used a word that could be construed as profane, Grnacek responded with profanity that made her order him from the bar.

“The defendant was the aggressor here. ... In our current day and age, the use of the word [expletive] in the presence of women is so offensive, it’s referred to [by its first letter],” Burmilla said.

When Miller, a customer who sympathized with Murphy’s position, told Grnacek he should leave as she was walking by, he turned and punched her in the mouth – giving her a bloody lip.

Grnacek is scheduled to be sentenced July 16. He faces up to five years in prison, but also is eligible for probation.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – After months of community input and planning, city officials released their new comprehensive plan, identifying key areas of improvement and development for the next 15 to 20 years.

“It’s been great to include our residents in the planning process of the vision and future of Crest Hill,” Mayor Ray Soliman said.

The comprehensive plan is the first for the city since 2006, which City Administrator John Tomasoski said was

limited in nature. The city funded the new plan with the help of a $100,000 grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Commercial development and creating a unique identity for the city are some of the main focal points of the new plan, which will be introduced and available to viewing by residents at a public open house Wednesday.

“Future growth centers on three corridors,” Tomasoski said.

Existing commercial development along the Broadway Street corridor and the Route

part of the Statesville Correctional Center property east of the intersection.

Broadway Street could see major industrial development near Caton Farm because of its size, limited commercial appeal and access to Interstates 55 and 80.

Between Chaney Avenue and Theodore, the corridor will see commercial use on the west side and more industrial use to the east.

The Route 30 corridor redevelopment spans the stretch of Plainfield Road between Kellogg Street and the Hill Crest Shopping Center. It focuses on filling vacant lots in

developed areas and creating a “front door” to the city.

Community Development Director Amber Miller said the plan also focuses on creating a “cohesive identity” for the city, which currently doesn’t have a unique feature that distinguishes it from Joliet and other municipalities.

The plan can be viewed at City Hall, 1610 Plainfield Road, the Crest Hill White Oak Library at 20670 Len Kubinski Dr., and on the city’s website at www.cityofcresthill.com.

The open house will be from 3:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the council chambers at City Hall.

Pedestrians can use the Scott Street underpass and the Union Street tunnel.

PLAINFIELD – A despondent man barricaded himself inside his house for an hour Tuesday.

Plainfield police said officers were called at 12:40 p.m. to a domestic disturbance on Mapleview Drive in the Whispering Woods subdivision.

Officers encountered an “extremely despondent, uncooperative and threatening” man and

a woman who left with police, Sgt. Mike Fisher said in a statement.

Because of the man’s “threatening comments and failure to cooperate,” Plainfield police set up a perimeter around the house with assistance from Joliet, Romeoville and Shorewood officers, Fisher said.

The man surrendered to police at 1:50 p.m. without incident and was taken into custody.

Guthrie was charged with aggravated battery to a police officer and escape. She was finally brought to the jail at 6:13 p.m.

NAIL PROBLEMS One of the more frequent prolems people relate to foot specialists is deformed nails. Deformed nails can result from an injurty to the nail, in-growing corners of the nail, fungus in the nail and many other conditions. Nail deformities can be painful, they can make shoe itting diicult, and they can cause infections and irritations.

As with most health conditions, prevention is the key to good foot and nail health. Simple things may be done to prevent nail problems including: proper cutting of the nails (cut them strait across), wearing well-itted shoe gear, and proper foot hygiene to precent fungus and bacterial infections.

Regardless of how careful one may be, nail problems can still develop. Treatment for these problems is based on the underlying cause. Some conditions may require simple trimming of the toenail(s), antibiotics, anti-fungal medications and possible surgical intervention. Nail conditions can be very painful and potentially dangerous to overall foot health. In most cases, they are treated efectively with conservative care and pain can oten be alleviated the day of your visit. If you or anyone you know sufers from this or any foot or ankle prolem, please contact your foot and ankle specialist at the Foot and Ankle Health Center.

JOLIET – Three people have been arrested after police say a 16-year-old boy fired a gun during a gang confrontation Friday.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said police were called just before 11 a.m. when witnesses reported shots near Henderson Avenue and Jackson Street.

A 16-year-old boy, his 15-year-old brother and James E. Fox, 20, were standing on the corner when an older Cadillac drove by, Roechner said.

“The Cadillac slowed down and the three subjects on the corner flashed gang signs,” Ro-

echner said. “The car parked and a man got out with a crowbar in his hand.”

But the 16-year-old allegedly ran inside an apartment building in the 700 block of Jackson and returned with a .22-caliber handgun. He fired three rounds at the man driving away in the Cadillac, Roechner said.

Fox and the teens had run back inside the apartment when police arrived. The building was surrounded until the boys’ mother came home and allowed officers inside, Roechner said.

for the lower sales tax rate.

State regulators are reviewing the program, urged on by taxing bodies in the Chicago area that contend Channahon is getting tax revenue off sales made in Cook County.

Channahon brings in an average of about $1.5 million a year through the sales tax rebate program.

Finance Director Bob Guess told the board that the resolution of the point-of-sales issue will have a major impact on Channahon’s capital program next year and the following years.

Conservative budgeting also is necessary, Guess said, because of the state’s finan-

include replacing equipment on salt spreaders, purchasing a replacement truck, maintaining the bike path, planting parkway trees in Hunters Crossing, among others.

In other news, the board approved three requests from the police department. One was the purchase of a replacement Dodge Charger police squad car for $25,313. The police department’s squad was totaled after being rear-ended by another vehicle.

Also approved by trustees was the purchase of nine mobile data computer systems for the village’s police cars at a cost of $31,981. The units were needed, Police Chief Jeff Wold said, due to Will County 911 switching to a new computer-aided dispatch system that is incompatible with the cars’ current technology.

CHANNAHON – The village’s 2014-15 budget was approved Monday with significantly less revenue in its capital fund in order for the village to prepare for the potential loss of point-of-sale dollars.

Channahon trustees held a public hearing and then unanimously approved the budget.

Revenues were budgeted at $20.97 million and expenses at $21.76 million, and the village will maintain its goal of keeping a 40 to 50 percent fund balance reserve.

The general operating budget should have a surplus of

$42,076, with no reserves being used for expenses.

The revenues going into the capital fund, however, will be significantly less than expenses, as no dollars from the village’s sales tax rebate program are included in the budget. Since 1999, the village has been involved in a sales tax rebate program where several businesses use Channahon as a point-of-sale location to take advantage of a lower sales tax.

Now Channahon and other municipalities throughout the state are being sued by the Regional Transportation Authority for enticing companies to open small purchasing offices within Grundy County

cial crisis.

Dollars are budgeted in the upcoming year for road projects on Yellow Pine Drive, Brookfield Lane, Brookfield Court, Cobblestone Lane and Squire Lane. Server upgrades, as well as replacement of 13 computers, also are planned.

The village will upgrade the building’s phone system, begin its ash tree replacement program, conduct a riverwalk study, complete the Route 6/ Interstate 55 study, collaborate with the park district for new village signage, conduct a westside water and sewer feasibility analysis and acquire three replacement squad cars.

Also in the budget are dollars for police needs, including the replacement of Taser equipment, purchasing patrol bikes and purchasing new vests. Other budgeted projects

By DEEPTI HAJELA The Associated Press NEW YORK – Harry Koundakjian, a former photographer and photo editor for The Associated Press in the Middle East and New York City, has died.

He was 83.

Koundakjian died Monday at a Manhattan hospital, from complications of open heart surgery he had in February, his daughter, Lola Koundakjian, said.

Born in Syria, Koundak-

jian finished high school in Lebanon.

He began work there for The Associated Press in the 1960s, first as a freelancer and then as a staffer in 1969.

He photographed news events throughout the Middle East and Europe, including war in Lebanon, the Olympics in Germa ny, and the 1978 wedding of King Hussein of Jordan to his fourth wife, Queen Noor.

In 1979, he and his fami-

ly moved to New York City, where he was a photo editor for the AP until his retirement in 2006.

Koundakjian’s career was his life and his colleagues became close family friends, his daughter said.

“He brought his career home in a positive way,” she said.

Survivors also include his wife and a son.

Lola Koundakjian said a celebration of her father’s life and a funeral are being planned.

STATE

Study: Minority kids hit hardest by law

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – A 32-yearold Illinois law that requires juveniles accused of the most serious crimes to be charged as adults may be discriminatory, prevents judges from exercising their judgment and makes it more likely that those who are convicted will commit violent crimes in the future, according to a study released Tuesday.

The nonpartisan Juvenile Justice Initiative reviewed 257 Cook County cases from 2010 to 2012 involving juveniles who were automatically charged as adults in accordance with the state law. One of those cases involved a non-minority defendant. Eighty-three percent of the defendants were black and 16 percent were Hispanic. Most came from Chicago’s west and south sides, according to the study.

It also found that 54 percent of the defendants whose cases were automatically transferred to adult court ultimate-

ly pleaded guilty to a lesser charge that wouldn’t have triggered such a transfer in the first place.

By leaving juvenile court, the authors concluded, the defendants lose their best chance at rehabilitation and often go to prison with adults; later, they have higher recidivism rates for violent crime.

The group used the study to draw attention to legislation in the General Assembly that would eliminate the automatic transferring of the most serious juvenile cases to adult court and give judges more decision-making authority based on a hearing that examines a child’s circumstances, among them a child’s age, education, mental and physical health and level of participation in the crime.

Illinois is among 14 states that have automatic transfer laws. Enacted in 1982, Illinois requires juveniles ages 15 to 17 years old who are charged with crimes such as murder, armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated criminal sexual

“At no point do they really get a day in court.”

Elizabeth Clarke Juvenile Justice Initiative president assault and aggravated battery with a firearm to be tried as adults. Once charged as an adult, a juvenile who is later charged with another crime must always appear in adult court, no matter the crime.

Juvenile Justice Initiative President Elizabeth Clarke said such cases often unfold in the same way: A juvenile is questioned by police without a lawyer, makes a statement and is charged as an adult. He or she then pleads guilty to a lesser charge in exchange for a set sentence, meaning there is no trial or sentencing hearing.

“At no point do they really get a day in court,” Clarke told the AP. “This is wholesale throwing kids away at the point of arrest, essentially.”

Before the House Judiciary Committee backed the legisla-

tion last month, officials from the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office testified against it.

Rep. Dennis Reboletti, an Elmhurst Republican and former prosecutor, opposes eliminating automatic transfers because of the seriousness of the crime. Juveniles can only be incarcerated until age 21, so a murder would not be properly punished, he said.

“You’re basically telling a 17-year-old that your sentence is four years,” Reboletti said. “I don’t think that’s an appropriate sentence for that crime.”

Reboletti said he’d be open to sending a juvenile in adult court who pleads guilty to a lesser charge back to juvenile court for sentencing and rehabilitation.

He also suggested Illinois could allow for a teenager sentenced to a long term for a violent crime to serve in the juvenile system until age 21 and then transfer to an adult prison to finish his sentence.

While the study only looked at juveniles who were

incarcerated while awaiting trial and not released on bond, reinstating juvenile court hearings to determine the best place to try a teenager would not be burdensome, Nekritz said.

“It’s putting a common sense process in to have a judge, rather than the General Assembly, make these decisions,” said Rep. Elaine Nekritz, D-Northbrook, the bill’s sponsor. “The judge is looking at the circumstances of the individual, the circumstances of the crime.”

The study’s authors also noted that juveniles awaiting trial as adults spent a year or more in detention, whereas half of defendants charged in juvenile court spent a month or less locked up.

“Trial in adult court fails to protect public safety,” study co-author David Reed said in a statement. “Children tried as adults typically spend more time waiting for trial, more time in prison and are less likely to receive rehabilitative services.”

Dollar Quartet also will give a free concert. The performance is based on music stars Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins and Johnny Cash will be Aug. 11.

Musical artists including Florida Georgia Line, Boston, Steely Dan and Jake Owen already are scheduled to perform.

The lawsuit seeks damages from the schools for failing to protect the girl, from the alleged attacker, his parents, a chaperone teacher and Freeburg High’s principal.

Freeburg’s school superintendent, Andrew Lehman, declined to comment about the lawsuit, saying district administrators haven’t reviewed it.

A message left Monday with the O’Fallon School District’s superintendent wasn’t immediately returned.

No charges have been filed in the assault.

STATE BRIEFS Illinois audit: Police training money misspent SPRINGFIELD – A state audit has found that money intended to train police officers and coroners in Illinois was misspent on food and rooms at seminars.

The report by Auditor General William Holland released Tuesday also found that the Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board did not keep adequate records showing who was trained with $1.6 million since 2010.

Kevin McClain is executive director of the board. He says he is making changes to “do things correctly.”

The money comes from a $2 surcharge for obtaining a death certificate. The board may use a quarter of that money to train police homicide detectives and coroners.

But in one example, the audit found a $30,000 training in May 2011 included $18,000 for room rental – prohibited by board guidelines.

Suburban man charged in killing of 2 Chicago teens CHICAGO – A suburban Chicago man has been charged in the deaths of two teenagers who were found shot in the head in the basement of a home on Chicago’s south side.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports that the suspect is 23-year-old Justin Hamilton of south suburban Flossmoor. He’s charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

Hamilton was to appear in bond court Tuesday.

The victims of Saturday’s shooting were Jordan Means, 16, and Anthony Bankhead, 18.

Means’ mother, Camille Cochran, tells the Sun-Times that the suspect and her son had an argument on Facebook prior to the shooting.

In a separate, unrelated shooting, a 14-year-old and 16-year-old were wounded Monday night in the South Shore neighborhood.

Authorities say the 14-year-old was shot in the back and was in critical condition.

“This case is not about how the debate about racial preferences should be resolved. It is about who may resolve it.”

Justice Anthony Kennedy the majority, Justice Sonia Sotomayor said the decision trampled on the rights of minorities, even though the Michigan amendment was adopted democratically.

“But without checks, democratically approved legislation can oppress minority groups,” said Sotomayor, who read her dissent aloud Tuesday. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg sided with Sotomayor.

Michigan voters “changed the basic rules of the political process in that state in a manner that uniquely disadvantaged racial minorities,” Sotomayor said.

Judges “ought not sit back and wish away, rather than confront, the racial inequality

debate among the justices regarding the permissibility and wisdom of racial preferences in general.”

In 2003, the Supreme Court upheld the consideration of race among many factors in college admissions in a case from Michigan.

Three years later, affirmative action opponents persuaded Michigan voters to change the state constitution to outlaw any consideration of race.

The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the issue was not affirmative action, but the way in which its opponents went about trying to bar it.

In its 8-7 decision, the appeals court said the provision ran afoul of the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution’s 14th Amendment because it presented an extraordinary burden to affirmative action supporters who would have to mount their own campaign to repeal the constitutional provision. The Supreme Court said the appeals court judges were wrong to set aside the change as discriminatory.

that exists in our society,” she said. She is one of two justices, along with Clarence Thomas, who have acknowledged that affirmative action was a factor in their college and law school admissions. Sotomayor attended Princeton University and Thomas is a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross.

They both attended law school at Yale University. Thomas is a staunch opponent of racial preferences.

Chief Justice John Roberts and Justices Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Scalia and Thomas agreed with Kennedy.

Responding to Sotomayor, Roberts said it “does more harm than good to question the openness and candor of those on either side of the debate.”

Justice Elena Kagan did not take part in the case, presumably because she worked on it at an earlier stage while serving in the Justice Department.

WASHINGTON – A state’s voters are free to outlaw the use of race as a factor in college admissions, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a blow to affirmative action that also laid bare tensions among the justices about a continuing need for programs that address racial inequality in America.

The 6-2 decision upheld a voter-approved change to the Michigan Constitution that forbids the state’s public colleges to take race into account.

That change was indeed up to the voters, the ruling said, over one justice’s impassioned dissent that accused the court of simply wanting to wish away inequality.

The ruling bolsters similar voter-approved initiatives banning affirmative action in education in California and Washington state. A few other states have adopted laws or issued executive orders to bar race-conscious admissions policies.

Justice Anthony Kennedy

said voters in Michigan chose to eliminate racial preferences, presumably because such a system could give rise to racebased resentment.

Kennedy said nothing in the Constitution or the court’s prior cases gives judges the authority to undermine the election results.

“This case is not about how the debate about racial preferences should be resolved. It is about who may resolve it,” Kennedy said.

He stressed that the court was not disturbing the holding of a 2003 case from Michigan – which gave rise to the 2006 Constitution change – permitting the consideration of race in admissions.

A Texas affirmative action case decided in June also did nothing to undermine that principle, Kennedy said.

In a separate opinion siding with Kennedy, Justice Antonin Scalia said Michigan residents favored a colorblind constitution and “it would be shameful for us to stand in their way.”

Most Sherpas decide to leave Everest for season

By BINAJ GURUBACHARYA The Associated Press KATMANDU, Nepal – Most Sherpa mountain climbers have decided to leave Mount Everest, a guide said Tuesday, confirming a walkout certain to disrupt a climbing season that was already marked by grief over the 16 lives lost in Everest’s deadliest disaster.

“It is just impossible for many of us to continue climbing while there are three of our friends buried in the snow,” said Dorje Sherpa, an experienced Everest guide from the tiny Himalayan community that has become famous for its high-altitude skills and endurance.

“I can’t imagine stepping over them,” he said of the three Sherpa guides who remain buried in ice and snow after Friday’s deadly avalanche. Thirteen bodies have been recovered.

The avalanche was triggered when a massive piece of glacier sheared away from the mountain along a section of constantly shifting ice and crevasses known as the Khumbu Icefall – a treacherous area where overhanging immensities of ice as large as 10-story buildings hang over the main route up the mountain.

Special teams of Sherpas, known as Icefall Doctors, fix ropes through what they hope to be the safest paths, and use aluminum ladders to bridge crevasses. But the Khumbu shifts so much that they need to go out every morning – as they were doing when disaster struck Friday – to repair sections that have broken overnight and move the climbing route if needed.

Earlier Tuesday, Nepal’s government appeared to agree to some of the Sherpas’ demands in the threatened boycott, such as setting up a relief fund for Sherpas who are killed or injured in climbing accidents, but the funding falls far short of the Sherpas’ demands.

After the avalanche, the government quickly said it would pay the families of each Sherpa who died 40,000 rupees, or about $415. The Sherpas

said they deserved far more – including more insurance money, more financial aid for the victims’ families and new regulations that would ensure climbers’ rights.

On Tuesday, the government’s offer was modified to include a relief fund to help Sherpas injured in mountaineering accidents and the families of those killed, and to pay for rescue during accidents on the mountain. The government said it would stock the fund annually with 5 percent of its earnings from Everest climbing fees – well below the 30 percent the Sherpas are demanding. Nepal earns some $3.5 million annually in Everest climbing fees.

The insurance payout for those killed on the mountain will also be doubled to $15,620 (2 million rupees), the Ministry of Tourism said – far short of the Sherpas’ demand for $20,800.

The walkout decision was made after a memorial service at base camp for the victims, Dorje Sherpa said, adding that most guides were planning to pack up and leave as early as Wednesday.

“We want to honor the members we lost and out of respect for them we just can’t continue,” he said.

Most attempts to reach the summit are made in mid-May, when weather is most favorable. If the Sherpas boycott the season, many climbers will have to forfeit most or all of the money they have spent to go up Everest – at a cost of $75,000 or more.

The Nepal National Mountain Guide Association will try to negotiate with the Sherpas and the government because a total boycott would harm Nepal’s mountaineering in the long term, the group’s general secretary, Sherpa Pasang, said.

While most climbers have to make multiple passes through the Icefall, moving up and down the mountain as they acclimatize and prepare for their summit attempt, Sherpas make the dangerous journey two dozen times or more, carrying supplies and helping clients negotiate the hazardous maze of ice.

OUR VIEW

Give biennial budget a try One reason given by Gov. Pat Quinn for postponing his annual budget address until March 26 was that he wanted to put forth a fiveyear financial plan for the state.

While that might merely have been an excuse to put off the speech until after the March 18 primary election, it is worth noting that other states have multiyear budgets.

Three states that border Illinois – Indiana, Kentucky and Wisconsin – are among the 19 states that produce two-year budgets, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Until 1970, Illinois did the same thing.

Biennial budgeting requires longer-range planning and, as one would expect, provides greater financial certainty within state departments and agencies.

Economic recessions and faulty estimates tend to throw monkey wrenches into such long-term spending plans, but they do the same with annual budgets.

And, Illinois hasn’t had such good luck lately with its annual budgets, has it?

The state has had a string of deficit budgets, even though the Illinois Constitution bans them. At last count, the state owed its vendors a whopping $7 billion, its credit rating was in the toilet, and the $100 billion unfunded pension crisis remained in limbo.

For states that engage in biennial budgeting, the process actually covers about 30 months – six months to plan and write the budget, and 24 months while it is in effect.

With all that work out of the way, the second year of the budget is when the Illinois General Assembly and the public could reap the benefits.

Second-year legislative sessions could, and should, be shorter. Our neighbor, Indiana, has a 60-day legislative session the year the budget is written and approved, and a 30-day session the next year.

See BUDGET, page 22

Political patronage remains a problem in Ill. SPRINGFIELD – Several boxes of old index cards turned up the other day that demonstrated politics in the ’80s and ’90s played a role in people getting hired by Metra, the outfit that operates commuter trains in the Chicago area.

One of the Chicago newspapers ran banner headlines about these artifacts dating to the era of Bruce Springsteen, the Exxon Valdez and “The Cosby Show.” The cards showed that political patronage was once common in Illinois.

No kidding.

It seems political angels such as Paul Simon and Jim Edgar, as well as future inmates such as George Ryan and Chicago Alderman Ed Vrdolyak, were engaging in political patronage.

These men and a host of others used their political clout to get people government jobs.

The cards not only listed the job applicant’s name but also their political sponsors.

It was an era when political patronage was out in the open.

Today, of course, this type of pa-

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder tronage is illegal.

But it’s still common.

Frankly, it’s part of the unseemly political culture that is Illinois.

In the decades I’ve covered Illinois government, I have seen more cases of patronage than you can shake a time card at.

A few years ago, long after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the practice illegal in most instances, I was chatting with the late John Gianoulis, the octogenarian party boss for Rock Island County. He’d just been hired on by Rod Blagojevich to work in his administration.

He rather unapologetically told me he was going to head up patronage for the governor.

And to a large extent, in Illinois, if you want to get hired or advance in your government job it’s not so much what you know, but who you know.

Look no further than the latest Metra controversy. Former CEO Alex Clifford alleges that House Speaker Michael Madigan and other political big shots pressured him on a host of personnel issues.

Admittedly, things aren’t as bad as they once were.

Back when I first started covering Illinois politics in the 1980s, state prison guards, secretaries, laboratory technicians and a whole host of run-of-the-mill state jobs were hired in part through the offices of a local GOP county chairmen.

It was a bad practice that made for a worse workforce.

Job applicants felt compelled to give money to politicians. State workers felt compelled to continue to give once they had their jobs. And working for the local political party, rather than doing good work, was seen as a way to advance in your government job.

Even today, politicians largely are dependent on government workers to do their political bidding.

Illinois should try multiyear budgeting • BUDGET Continued from page 21 What’s the old saying?

No one is truly safe when the Legislature is in session.

Well, under biennial budgeting, lawmakers would not have to be in session so often during the second year, which would likely do them (and us) some good.

What’s that other old saying? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.

Producing annual budgets

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Black boxes should be easier to access

year after year hasn’t solved Illinois’ financial problems, has it? It’s time to think differently.

Illinois is in the midst of its fourth, and supposedly last, year of increased revenue from the temporary income tax increase imposed in January 2011. We don’t believe that taxpayers haven’t gotten enough in return.

Multiyear budgeting might just be the ticket to impose stricter financial discipline on spending and steer the state out of its financial rut. Illinois ought to give it a try.

Must change political culture • REEDER Continued from page 21 Last year, the Better Government Association investigated who was passing nominating petitions for Madigan.

They found that 17 of 30 people who passed petitions worked for government and another 12 had at one time worked for government.

That’s right, 29 out of 30.

Political patronage remains a pernicious problem in the Land of Lincoln.

It’s time our state leaders consider hiring and promoting the best people rather than the most politically subservient.

It won’t happen just by changing laws, but by changing the political culture that dominates Springfield.

And that will be a tough row to hoe.

To the Editor: In addition to real time GPS positioning and aircraft systems monitoring through satellite communications, perhaps through piggy-backing on the real time engine performance monitor, the black boxes should be able to break free and float to more easily retrieve the data.

Great depth can crush many flotation devices, but hollow glass spheres show great strength under compression and are even used by Japanese fisherman. The spheres need not be as large as net floats.

Time for elected officials to show fiscal discipline To the Editor: Mike Bily’s letter (Herald-News Opinion page, April 10) found the term “job killer” objectionable as used in the Herald-News’ editorial (March 30) discussing

a proposed progressive state income tax.

While theatrical, “job killer” does convey the economic consequence of additional taxes on the small business owner.

“If you want less of something, tax it.”

This is to say that any time a production input, such as labor, is artificially made more expensive through nonmarket factors (legislation, taxation or regulation) demand for it falls.

So, too, if the available or projected income to employ more labor is reduced through the same methods, fewer “units” are “purchased” or plans to expand are modified.

I hate to be the one to break the news, but employers don’t hire because of altruism or the need to add members to their group health or 401k plans.

If the funds are not there, no workers are added.

This is a logical observation of humans in the economic sphere.

And, yes – to those with even a rudimentary knowledge of

economics – it is axiomatic and self-evident.

As Mr. Bily concedes, 80 percent of all new labor expansion will be from small business. For the owner, his income is derived only after all other expenses are paid. This income is variable, often volatile, and extremely cost sensitive. Personal income taxes are a cost.

If we are relying on small business to grow us out of this economic funk, why in the world would we want to hinder the process?

Springfield’s appetite is insatiable.

Why do we regard the demands of the State to be divinely ordained, unquestionable, and irreversible?

Isn’t it time for our elected officials to show the same willingness for restraint and fiscal discipline that the responsible among us are required to exhibit?

Zimmerman’s hit lifts Lewis over USF

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, April 23, 2014

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – The annual Lewis vs. St. Francis baseball game usually is competitive, and more often than not, a relative unknown earns the spotlight.

So it was Wednesday afternoon, when Lewis’ Kelton Zimmerman’s ninth-inning single knocked in pinch-runner Alex Slaby and gave the Flyers a 9-8 victory over the visiting Saints.

“I was feeling confident,” Zimmerman said. “They walked the guy ahead of me, so I knew what I had to do. I stayed calm.”

Zimmerman, who came in 2 for 7 for the season, also singled home a run in Lewis’ tworun seventh, which tied the score at 8. His game-winning hit was lined to center field and eluded the dive of USF’s Kyle Burton.

“I thought it was hanging up, but the wind knocked it down,” Zimmerman said.

“Had the wind been blowing out, we’d probably still be playing.”

Lewis (20-19) was in good position at the end thanks in no small part to junior first baseman Jared Pyatt.

He slammed a two-run home run in the first inning, a solo shot in the third, was hit by a pitch his next two at-bats and reached on an error leading off the ninth. Slaby ran for him and scored the winning run.

Pyatt was hitting .200 (5 for 25) in reserve duty coming in. The right-handed hitter’s homers, his first two in a Flyers’ uniform, traveled to right-center and right field.

“I’m not normally a rightfield hitter,” he said. “But [Saints starter Jake Evans, a Reed-Custer graduate] threw me a 2-0 fastball on the outside part of the plate on the first one, and I hit another outside fastball the second one.”

St. Francis (29-16) is 20-4 since returning from its southern trip and will enter-

Lewis’ Jake Murray flies out to short during the fifth inning Tuesday against St. Francis at Lewis University. Lewis defeated St. Francis, 9-8. tain Judson on Wednesday afternoon at Silver Cross Field in a key Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader. The teams are tied for the top spot at 17-3.

Saints coach Brian Michalak gave some regulars the day off and did not use his frontline pitching. Kyle Cunningham (Joliet Catholic) worked three innings after Evans went three. Dan Darling (Coal City) finished up and took the loss.

“We had a few different guys in the lineup, but they did, too,” Michalak said. “It’s still baseball, still a battle.

Give them credit. The last couple pitchers they used did the job.”

Dylan Cysewski, Lewis’ right-hander, threw two hitless, scoreless innings. Joel Rotkvich, one of the hitting stars, pitched a hitless, score-

“Maybe high school,” Rotkvich said of when he last was a winning pitcher. “I knew I had to go in and throw strikes.

I played against a lot of these

same guys in high school. I knew I had to get them.”

Rotkvich slammed two singles and a double his first three at-bats and scored each time. His sacrifice fly in the seventh tied the game at 8, and

he was in the on-deck circle when Zimmerman’s hit ended it.

Kegan Banks started for Lewis, and James Holub and Cory Bonner also pitched before Cysewski entered and changed the momentum. The Flyers trailed 8-5 in the middle of the sixth, 8-6 after six.

“This is a rivalry game,” McDonough said. “We gave some regulars the day off, but it matters to these kids. Our bench guys have been doing the job all year. Cysewski and Rotkvich came in and pitched well. If we keep teams at bay, we get opportunities to win.

“We have had an up-anddown season, but even last weekend, we lost four games to Southern Indiana but we played well.”

David Kuhne had two of USF’s eight hits and Matt Scott singled in two runs.

Joliet West defeats Lockport to record 11th straight victory

Contagious hitting leads Hilltoppers past Celtics

great kids with great attitudes and we’re a team and that makes a huge difference.”

Lockport (9-4, 2-1) scored its lone run in its initial trip to the plate. After Treasure retired the first two batters, Gabby Voulgaris smacked a solo shot over the center field fence.

The senior right-hander didn’t allow another hit until the fifth, and half of the hits that she did yield were given up in the seventh inning.

“I was real happy since we got a good overall outing,” Treasure said. “We always have something that’s driving us to keep us up, and one of those is playing for Mr. B [Jim Brumund], who passed away. That was a tough time for our team, but we’ve gotten it together and we’re on a roll right now.

“Lockport is a really good offensive team, but I knew that and I was ready to go against them. It’s really nice when your defense makes plays behind you and it’s good to have confidence in them.

It got a little scary in the seventh inning, but we kept our cool.”

West also kept its cool in the fourth when it pieced together an infield error, followed by three straight singles against Porter pitcher Justine Cielenski to move in front for good.

Alysia Rodriguez singled home Karina Vargas and then

Robb reached on a bunt single to drive in Treasure to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead. After Rodriguez scored on a grounder

by Madi Mulder, Lorelei Tokarczyk got an RBI single to score Robb for the fourth run.

“We just try to take it one game at a time and that’’s been working in our favor,” Tigers catcher Julia Liceaga said.

“In the offseason, we worked on hitting and defense and making those adjustments in games, and that’s helped us to beat teams like Lockport. I like the young players on this team since they keep us excited and on our toes.”

The Porters stranded three runners in scoring position in the fifth and sixth innings, but their most serious late threat came in their last atbat.

With one out, Halle Hollatz, Sara Koniewicz and Kelly Pattison all got singles to load the bases. But Treasure coaxed a fly out and an infield grounder to wrap up the victory.

“The four runs that got were enough and their pitcher did a good job of keeping our hitters off-balance,” Porters coach Marissa Chovanec said.

“We just need to be better at making adjustments. Everybody’s always happy with wins, but you learn more about yourself in your losses.

And we have some things that we’ll learn from this game.”

NEW LENOX – Joliet Catholic’s Mike Quiram firmly believes in the old baseball adage that “hitting is contagious.”

Visiting rival Providence in a nonconference game Tuesday, it wasn’t just hitting that was contagious for the Hilltoppers.

Patient up and down the order, Joliet Catholic (12-3) drew 13 walks and slapped out 10 hits on the way to a dominant 14-0 five-inning win.

“Hitting is contagious.

You get it going and you can’t stop,” Quiram said with a smile. “(The patient mindset), it’s tiring, but you just have to stay on it and make sure you drive the ball.”

On this day, not much went wrong for the Hilltoppers who scored at least a run in each inning. With the offense clicking, sophomore Drake Fellows dominated on the mound.

The Hilltoppers scored five runs courtesy of bases-loaded walks, including two for Mitch Boe, as Providence’s pitching staff struggled to throw strikes. Nick Dalesandro’s RBI single up the middle brought Rylan Bannon home from third in the first.

“The hitting starts to come around with the weather warming up,” JCA coach Jared Voss said. “The guys did a good job today getting on base with some big hits [and drawing walks].”

Boe finished with four RBIs, including a two-run single in the top of the fifth, with Alex Ragusa adding two RBIs.

Aaron Markley, Nick Morrison and Dan Devine added an RBI apiece. Quiram finished 2 for 2 with four runs and two walks. Danny Weis scored four runs.

“Stay strong on the ball and since we were getting so many walks, just wait for your pitch,” Quiram said.

His offense picking him up in a big way, Fellows pitched in and around trouble, scattering three hits and three walks to go with eight strikeouts. The 6-foot-6 sophomore bumped his record to 2-0.

“My slider and fastball were both working really well,” Fellows said. “The fastball I was able to blow by kids, and I was able to get my slider in the strike zone a lot. We’re coming together pretty well, and it’s going to be tough to beat us.”

Voss came away impressed with Fellows, who didn’t miss a beat taking the mound after long stretches in the dugout as his offense went to work.

“The game got ugly, dragged a little bit with a long five-inning game, but credit to Drake for keeping his composure,” Voss said. “Little bit up in the zone early, but he settled in and did a good job.”

Cam Galgano had a double for Providence (13-5) with Mike Madej and Shawn Cavallone adding a single each.

“Throw strikes, pitch to contact, and when you don’t do that, you give free bases,” Providence coach Mark Smith said. “A good team will take advantage of that. You can’t give them what we gave them. Disappointing, but it is losses like this that make you better.”

JOLIET – Lockport’s softball team was on a nice roll after knocking off top-ranked Downers Grove South on Saturday for its fifth straight win.

And after losing its first four games, Joliet West was on a 10-game winning streak heading into Tuesday’s SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue contest with the Porters.

With two red-hot squads meeting up something had to give, and thanks to some timely hitting and good pitching, the Tigers saw their winning ways continue.

West used a four-run third inning to establish control and received a six-hitter from winning pitcher Joy Treasure to claim a 4-1 victory over the Porters.

The Tigers (11-4, 3-0) finished with nine hits, including four in the decisive third frame. Kylie Robb and Treasure each went 2 for 3 to pace the host’s attack.

“This was probably one of our best offensive games since we only had two strikeouts,” Tigers coach Heather Suca said. “We’ve been preaching to put the ball into play and things will happen, and that is what happened [Tuesday].

In the last few games they had been doing very well offensively, so we told Joy to keep the ball low and mix it up and I think that our catcher, Julia Liceaga, called a good game to keep them off-balance.

“The girls come ready to practice and are focused, and each day I feel like we get a little bit better and that’s contributing to our winning streak. Our players do a good job of helping each other out, and it’s like having 11 or 12 coaches out there. We have

DETROIT – Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer, Justin Verlander pitched seven solid innings and the Tigers held on for an 8-6 victory Tuesday over the White Sox. Cabrera was 4 for 23 on this homestand before going 3 for 5 on Tuesday – including a homer and a double off Sox’s Charlie Leesman

(0-1), who was called up from the minors to start in place of an injured Chris Sale.

Sox’s Dayan Viciedo had a career-high four hits, and Adam Dunn hit a two-run homer in the ninth to pull the Sox within two. Joba Chamberlain got the final out for his first save, retiring Alexei Ramirez on

a liner to left with one on.

Abreu opened the scoring in the first with a drive that cleared the wall in center for his sixth homer of the season. Verlander did not have a perfect inning all night, but he kept the Sox from stringing too many hits together.

Leesman’s second career start

did not go well. The Tigers hit the ball hard off him right from the start, and he allowed five straight hits – including two doubles and a homer – before getting an out in the third.

Leesman allowed six runs and nine hits in 2 2⁄3 innings.

SPRING SALE

adno=0261857

DETROIT – When Chris Sale spends extended time in the trainer’s room, the White Sox hold their collective breath. The news they got Monday night about their Cy Young candidate wasn’t good, but it could have been worse.

The Sox, who had said before the game that he would miss his next start, decided to place Sale on the 15-day disabled list with a flexor mass muscle in his left arm after Sale underwent an MRI during Monday’s 3-1 win over the Detroit Tigers.

The MRI showed that the ligament is “excellent,” general manager Rick Hahn said.

“We figured we are much better off having him miss a start here in Detroit and the next one in Tampa Bay and then re-evalute.”

Hahn said he was fairly confident Sale wouldn’t be out for more than the 15 days.

Sale had already left Comerica Park by the end of the game and was not expected to be available until Tuesday.

After throwing a career-high 127 pitches in his last start Thursday, Sale skipped his normal side session between starts but has played catch and done some work in the weight room. He missed a start last May because of a mild case of tendinitis in his left posterior shoulder, and in May 2012 he was unexpectedly moved from the starting rotation to the bullpen after he experienced soreness and tightness in his left elbow.

Hahn defended manager Robin Ventura’s and pitching coach Don Cooper allowing Sale to throw 127 pitches.

“First I’m not smart enough to know if that was the cause of it,” Hahn said. “Second, there was no indication before that start or during that start that he was in the least bit of jeopardy of doing any damage to himself. In fact, as you can tell by this decision today we’re going to do everything in our power to protect him for the long term. This is about getting in front of any issues and make sure he’s in the best position to stay healthy for an extended career.”

“I was 10 years old,” Blackhawks forward Ben Smith said with a laugh. “I don’t even know.”

So, you’re not playing in the NHL? “I was not,” Smith said.

That’s OK. We can’t all be like Michal Handzus.

Forget about Old Man Winter. It’s time to salute Old Man Spring.

That would be Handzus, 37, whose NHL career has spanned parts of two centuries and included stints in four time zones. He has played in 1,009 regular-season games, notching 483 points and 498 penalty minutes and 1,415 shots on goal and a bunch of other statistics.

Yet one number surprised Handzus as he discussed his remarkable career this week.

One hundred career playoff games. Smack dab, on the button. Hello, triple digits.

“Really?” Handzus said.

If the Internet says it’s true, then it’s true.

“I don’t really think about that,” said Handzus, who is to self-promotion what the North Pole is to humidity. “You think about the series and how to play, not how many games you play.

“I think, when you’re done with hockey and you’re done with your career, you’re going to look back and see those interesting [statistics]. But, in the heat of the moment, in the heat of the playoffs, you don’t think about it.”

On this, heated rivals can agree. Handzus is respected as much as any player in the Luckily, no rule prevents Hawks’ locker room, a veteran fans and reporters from who rarely speaks but always thinking about it. So let’s think leads by example. about it.

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – While cooking for the University of Missouri’s catering and events services, Brian Taborski paired marinated beef tenderloin with bibimbap for a group of Korean delegates.

One delegate actually sought him out to say, “I absolutely loved it.” Such feedback, Taborski is uncommon in the catering business.

“People just eat and go away,” Taborski said.

On Nov. 4, Taborski and his 25 years of culinary experience joined Harrah’s Joliet Casino & Hotel to oversee the new Flavors the Buffet, which features a variety of international cuisine, he said. The grand opening was March 21.

According to a news release from Harrah’s Joliet Casino & Hotel, Flavors the Buffet contains five stations offering more than 55 “unique menu items.”

The buffet’s 10,000-square-foot space will accommodate nearly 400 guests, according to the news release.

It’s Taborski’s first time running a buffet menu – especially one with an international theme – a new experience for a chef trained in classical French cuisine and possessing a work background in “a la carte, fine dining, hotels and private clubs sort of things.”

“The difference in cuisine takes you around the world when you come in,” Taborski said. “It will make it easier for people to try new things.”

Taborski said the buffet features Asian and Italian items, American comfort food, a Brazilian grill, European desserts and “an action station that switches daily.”

“On Saturday, we make steaks cooked to order and Sunday is build your own pasta night,” Taborski said. “We will always have macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes

and fried chicken. Those items won’t change.”

Asian cuisine is the most unfamiliar to Taborski, so he’s finding the wok station especially exciting. He called Latin cuisine fun: a rotisserie grill and basic seasonings “so you get a good taste of the meat.”

On the home front, Taborski, who finds hot foods “quick, fast and exciting,” is now enjoying baking because “I’ve grown older and learned patience, quite honestly.” Taborski also is delving into Thai cuisine, which he finds “harmonious and very balanced.”

Taborski’s culinary career began in high school. He start-

ed off as a dishwasher, moved up to line cook and then to lead cook. Shortly after high school, Taborski began attending the Cooking and Hospitality Institute of Chicago (now Le Cordon Bleu College of Culinary Arts in Chicago) and graduated in 1995 with an associate degree in applied science.

He began working as a sous chef in 1996 and then, in 2003, became executive chef at Ophelia’s in Missouri. Taborski also has worked for the University of Missouri, the Manhattan Country Club in Kansas, the Holiday Inn Select Executive Center in Missouri, the Hyatt Regency O’Hare and the Hilton

Garden Inn and Regency Conference Center in O’Fallon, Ill. Taborski has won medals in culinary competition, “some silver, some bronze, never gold.” Taborski placed second in the Kansas City “Taste of Elegance” (2002) and third place in Iron Fork Kansas City (2003).

In 2007, the America Culinary Foundation named Taborski its Mid-Missouri Chef of the Year. Taborski also has earned certifications from both the ACF and the Culinary Institute of America, and currently is working on two more certifications from both organizations. Taborski is married to Jessica Haninger and has two children, Jadzia Taborski, 9, and Michael Taborski, 6.

Taborski dotes on cooking for the same reasons he once considered enrolling in Nashville Auto-Diesel College or Purdue University in Indiana for architectural engineering: He likes the creation process and recently rebuilt the engine of his car. Ironically, Taborski rejected the other two professions because he didn’t like math.

“I now do more math than I thought I would ever do,” Ta-

borski said.

Taborski said he has cooked for President Bill Clinton (Hyatt Regency O’Hare), President George W. Bush (Holiday Inn Select Executive Center in Missouri) and President Barack Obama (University of Missouri).

He’s also prepared food for Elton John, Nine Inch Nails and Jeff Dunham (all University of Missouri events), as well as retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, “who was really nice and apologized for ruining my afternoon for making me cook,” when she spoke at a university student event.

Taborski has even cooked for the king of Thailand.

“It was something about recruiting students from overseas, from what I remember,” Taborski said. “I was just told to cook.”

The bidding places the missing honors

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jean Nidetch, a co-founder of Weight Watchers, said, “It’s choice – not chance – that determines your destiny.” At the bridge table, sometimes chance does determine your destiny.

For example, when you are in a contract that depends solely on a finesse. But much more often, your choices are the determining factor.

In today’s deal, West had two choices on the first round of the auction: to make a takeout double or to overcall one no-trump.

Here, the double would have worked much better, because it would not have placed all of the missing honors in his hand. But West preferred one no-trump because it defined his hand strength much more accurately than double.

Against four hearts, West led the diamond queen. How did South plan the play?

North’s decision to jump to three hearts worked well. Anything less and his side probably would not have reached game.

Declarer was faced with four potential losers: one heart and three clubs. And since only 16 points were missing, West was marked with the heart king and club ace. South saw that his only chance was an endplay.

After taking the first trick, he cashed his heart ace, relieved to see East follow suit. Then declarer cashed his other top diamond and dummy’s top spades, ruffed the spade five in his hand, and exited a trump.

West won with his king, but had no riposte. If he had shifted to clubs, South would have scored his king. But when West led the diamond jack, declarer discarded a club from the board and ruffed in his hand. He then claimed, conceding two club tricks.

Jeanne Phillips ing his anger at himself onto his son. He should have used birth control and he knows it. It’s not fair, but Wayne does not appear to be the most mature of 23-year-olds.

Rather than blame yourself for the fact that he wants no involvement, consider that children usually model themselves after their same-gender parent. Because your husband was so uninvolved with Wayne, it is possible that Wayne has no idea of what a father’s role ought to be. A parenting class could fix this – if your son is willing to take one.

Until then, continue to be the supportive and loving grandparents your grandson needs.

Dear Abby: I come from a troubled family. I am just now realizing that there is more to life than posting bond for family members and getting people out of jail at 3 a.m. I got my GED and started college this year. Although I try

to keep them at bay, they call me with one family crisis or another, and it’s putting stress on everyone around me.

I’d love to have a positive relationship with my family, but drama seems to follow them everywhere. Should I just let them go and move on with my life, or continue doing the same as always? Must I drop everything I’m doing to jump and run every time the phone rings? – Family Drama In Texas Dear Family Drama: Every time you come to the rescue, you further enable your relatives to do whatever it is that has gotten them in hot water. That you have managed to separate yourself to the extent you have, and achieve to the level you have reached, is admirable. But if you’re going to continue to accomplish your goals, you cannot allow your family to distract you from your studies.

Let them know when you can’t be disturbed and turn your phone off.

They’ll survive and you’ll thrive.

During heart attack, restoring blood flow is critical Dear Doctor K: My husband recently had a heart attack.

Fortunately, he’s doing well. But I’d like to understand better what happens to the heart during a heart attack.

Dear Reader: The heart is a special kind of muscle that keeps blood circulating throughout your body. Your husband’s heart doesn’t just pump blood to the rest of his body; it also pumps blood to itself – it needs that blood to survive. Your husband’s heart attack occurred when a blood clot blocked a coronary artery – an artery that provides blood to his heart muscle. This prevented the artery from delivering oxygen-rich blood to a specific part of his heart’s muscular wall.

Usually, heart attacks cause pain and make the heart pump less efficiently. With minor heart attacks, heart function may not be impaired. With more serious heart attacks, heart failure or sudden death can follow.

Heart failure is a condition in which the heart is still pumping.

However, it is pumping so weakly that blood is not circulating adequately. Not enough fresh, oxygen-rich blood is getting to the tissues of the body. Also, not enough blood is returning to the heart.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff This causes swelling, shortness of breath and other symptoms.

Sudden death is usually caused by a dangerous heart rhythm called ventricular fibrillation.

Instead of working like a pump, the heart muscle just quivers. It doesn’t pump blood at all, leading to death. Fortunately, there are treatments that can restore a regular heart rhythm – and life.

During the early stages of a heart attack, heart cells are dying rapidly from a lack of oxygen. At this point, the primary goal is to unblock the artery and quickly restore blood flow to the injured heart muscle to limit permanent damage. This is called reperfusion therapy. The faster blood flow is restored to the heart, the greater the chances of surviving and recovering.

Reperfusion is often done mechanically. The doctor threads a catheter carrying a small deflated balloon through a large blood vessel and past the blockage. He or she inflates the balloon to crush the clot and plaque. Most balloon

catheters also have a wire mesh, called a stent, over the balloon.

After the balloon is inflated, the stent remains in place to keep the artery open.

Doctors also often give the patient various medications. These help prevent further blood clotting in the coronary arteries and minimize the heart’s oxygen needs.

Bed rest immediately following a heart attack also helps reduce the heart’s oxygen needs.

With colleagues at Orca Health, I and my colleagues at Harvard have recently published inexpensive iBooks for the Apple iPad and iPhone on various heart conditions. One is about heart attack; another is about angioplasty and stent. A third is about heart failure, and a fourth is on sudden death.

These inexpensive iBooks explain each of these conditions, not just with words, but also with spectacular videos, animations and interactive tools. You can learn more about them on my website, AskDoctorK.com.

Dr. Wallace: I’m responding to the parents of the 16-year-old girl who was constantly the butt of jokes about her extra-long nose.

My heart goes out to this girl because her parents would not even consider plastic surgery.

I was very glad that you encouraged the parents to see if plastic surgery could improve her appearance and her self-esteem. I want to share my experience with both this girl and her parents.

I had a similar problem as a fifth grader and was routinely taunted by these immature classmates and others. My parents were no help at all because they told me to just smile. That way, the kids wouldn’t get the reaction they wanted and the problem would go away. Well, smiling didn’t work, and by the time I got to junior high, the verbal abuse included remarks that were very hurtful.

When I went to high school, the hurtful remarks stopped, but I became a bookworm and made a few friends. I was rewarded with excellent grades and graduated with honors. Because of my singing ability, I was voted the most talented senior in my graduation class.

Right after graduation, I went to a doctor to find out about the procedure to shorten my nose and was really surprised that the cost was less than I thought.

My grandmother said she would lend me the money, so I took her up on her generosity and got the “nose job.” When it was all over and I looked in the mirror, I no longer saw the dateless ugly duckling, but a beautiful swan.

I am now married to a wonderful handsome husband and have two

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace beautiful daughters who have lovely normal noses.

I only wish that my parents had done this for me before I went to high school. I suffered needlessly because they couldn’t or wouldn’t understand the emotional pain I was feeling. – Nameless, Dallas, Texas Dear Nameless: Thanks for sharing your wonderful success story.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 16-year-old girl, and Brandon and I date a couple of times a month, but we aren’t going steady. The two of us are really good friends, and we go out with others when we aren’t on a date together.

Sometimes I just feel like I need to talk to Brandon about something, and I call him at his home. His mother usually answers the phone and she always acts miffed when I call.

One time she even told me that, “girls aren’t supposed to be calling boys.” This made me feel uncomfortable and now I don’t know if I should call his house again.

Do you think I should just stop calling him or should I tell him that his mother makes me feel uncomfortable when I call? – Kayla, Rochester, New York.

Dear Kayla: Brandon’s mother has no reason to be upset because you phone him, so don’t allow her old-fashioned philosophy to concern you. Continue calling him when you feel like it.

However, I see no need to mention anything about this to Brandon.

Dear Abby: My 23-year-old son, “Wayne,” who is single, has a 3-year-old son. We didn’t learn about the child until he was more than a year old, when Wayne was asked to take a paternity test.

Luckily, we have been able to form a good relationship with our grandson’s mother and see him often. However, our son has shown no interest. He pays child support, but has little interaction.

Wayne is an only child. I love him, but I never wanted another one. I was never comfortable around or interested in young children except for my own son. Could he have gotten this from me?

Wayne says he feels resentment and doesn’t want to be around this child. I have tried to explain that he’ll regret it in years to come, but he won’t listen.

My husband is appalled that our son would act this way, but he seems to forget that I was the one who did everything with Wayne. I did the Boy Scouts, movies, horses, trips, etc. He did almost nothing with Wayne. At this point, I don’t know what to do. – Mom In Illinois Dear Mom: Your son is displac-

Give Jarmusch another chance with ‘Only Lovers Left Alive’

By Ed Symkus More Content Now It’s been a long while since I’ve really, really enjoyed a Jim Jarmusch film.

With exceptions of brilliant moments in the droll “Broken Flowers” and the grim “Dead Man,” the oddly goofy “Down by Law” has been my favorite. But “Only Lovers Left Alive,” best described as a contemporary vampire film, has pushed “Down by Law” into second place.

If you’ve tried Jarmusch before, and liked him, you’ll realize upon seeing this one that it’s his most assured and accessible film. If you’ve tried him and walked out vowing never to see another by him, it’s time to give him another chance.

First and foremost, this is a love story about Adam, an old-school underground musician (he records on a reel to reel machine) who holes up in a crammed, rundown apartment in Detroit, and his wife, Eve, who spends a leisurely and rather enigmatic existence in faraway Tangiers.

Adam has given up performing live, and shies away from the world, especially from the obsessive music fans who keep searching for him. But he does have Ian, a right hand man of sorts, who gets supplies for him, and regularly finds and drops off rare guitars at the apartment (a blue sparkly Hagstrom and a red Gretsch are the ones I was drooling over). Eve wanders the streets and back alleys of Tangiers, regularly meeting up with her old friend Marlowe at a quiet café.

Since there’s not a whole lot of storytelling going on here, the biggest and best thing the film has going for it is the alluring mood that’s set at the start, and that Jarmusch maintains almost for its entirety. Yet keeping right up with that mood to make the film so memorable is the cast Jarmusch has assembled. Tilda Swinton adds her usual other-worldly presence to Eve, and Tom Hiddleston (the evil Loki in the Thor films), as Adam, gives us the best reclusive rocker since Todd Haynes filled a film with them in “Velvet Goldmine.”

For the record, Adam and Eve are vampires, and if vampires had souls, they would be soul mates. It’s never made clear how old they are, how long they’ve been a couple (though it’s mentioned they were married in 1868), or how long they’ve been living apart, but they are always at the center of the film, and circumstances soon bring them back together again, sharing glasses of fine, unspoiled blood that’s purchased, under shady circumstances, from a local hospital.

The characters who rotate closely around them easily fit right in with the film’s flow. Anton Yelchin is the helpful but hapless Ian, an updated nod to Count Dracula’s assistant Renfield; John Hurt is the suave and secretive Marlowe; and Jeffrey Wright is the crooked cash-for-blood doctor. I mentioned earlier that Jarmusch maintains the film’s mood for “almost” its entirety.

That’s because he breaks it in what, as I was watching the film, was a jarring, annoying manner, with the introduction of Eve’s estranged little sister, Ava (played with a free-spirited brightness no one else exudes by Mia Wasikowski). The character even disrupts the minimal storyline, not just the mood. It

wasn’t until the day after I saw the film that I realized what a darkly comic gem the character was, and how unconventionally vibrant she played it.

As a longtime fan of vampire stories, and someone who was terribly disillusioned by what was presented in the “Twilight” series, I was extremely pleased with the take given to the genre here. These are, with the exception of Ava, elegant and sophisticated creatures. Their existence is not a violent one. They only want to be left alone and allowed to keep on keeping on. Their biggest problem is not Ava, but the fact that the “good stuff” they subsist on, as opposed to the blood that’s been “contaminated” by the “zombies” – the rest of us – who make up our society – is in short supply. That’s where the film’s main drama lies. Jarmusch’s triumph is that he makes us care about these characters, all the while placing us in their world and, for a couple of hours, never letting us think about ours.

• “Only Lovers Left Alive” was written and directed by Jim Jarmusch.

The film stars Tilda Swinton, Tom Hiddleston, Anton Yelchin, Mia Wasikowski and John Hurt. This film is rated R.
