Rialto can’t afford to hire fundraiser professional

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – How tight is money at the Rialto Square Theatre these days?

It’s so tight that the Rialto board Wednesday decided it could not afford to hire someone to raise money for the theater.

The Rialto board for months has tabled the hiring of a director of development, someone who would head up efforts to seek out donations and initiate other fundraising activities.

Executive Director Randy Green made a pitch at the board’s monthly meeting to fill the position that has been vacant since December.

“I think the longer we wait, the greater we run the risk that we’re not going to be able to sustain the operation – because of the work done by the development director,” Green told the board.

“I completely agree,” board member Cynthia Tyler said.

But ...

Tyler said the Rialto faces too many financial uncertainties, especially what it’s going to end up paying on the marquee project that was put on hold in mid-production after community opposition to the

“I don’t think it’s fiscally responsible right now.”

Cynthia Tyler Rialto board member design.

“Until we know what we’re in for with the marquee, we don’t know what we’re up against,” Tyler said. She suggested waiting until at least June, adding, “I don’t think it’s fiscally responsible right now.”

Other board members agreed.

“Where are we going to get the money to pay for this?” board member Vicky Murphy said.

“I think there are too many variables to work out before we can fill that position,” board member David Thornton said.

Green said after the meeting that the Rialto could expect to pay a salary of anywhere from $50,000 to $70,000 for a development director depending on the person’s track record of raising money.

He said the Rialto had begun interviews to fill the development director’s job before it was hit by the marquee dilemma.

The Rialto’s last big gift was a $350,000 donation from retired businessman Ed Czerkies for the new marquee and related improvements. But the sign was put on hold amid community opposition to the design, including a memorial to Czerkies’ parents, and Czerkies took his money back.

Marquee report

About $197,000 worth of work has been done on the marquee, Rialto officials said.

More than $120,000 has been paid so far. Chairman James Smith said another $70,000 is owed.

Whether the Rialto ever uses the marquee is unknown.

An advisory committee created to examine the issue has recommended that the Rialto either update its existing marquee with LED lighting or have the marquee under construction redesigned to look more like the marquee already on the theater.

Rialto board members received the committee’s report Tuesday afternoon and discussed it briefly at the meeting. But a discussion on what to do next will take place either at the May 27 monthly meeting or at a special meeting before then.

O’Dekirk blasts governor on right-to-work zones

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor-elect Bob O’Dekirk criticized Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposal for so-called right-to-work zones, saying it would hurt Joliet and Will County.

O’Dekirk said Wednesday that because of the area’s strong union tradition, it likely would be hurt if other communities could put into place right-to-work zones.

“Will County and Joliet is a strong union community,” O’Dekirk said. “I would see Will County and Joliet put at a disadvantage, given the history of unions in this area.”

O’Dekirk said Illinois communities that establish right-

to-work zones could use them to draw companies and jobs away from those who do not.

Rauner’s proposal is to let local communities opt for “Right to Work” laws that bar unions from negotiating contracts that require all employees in a workplace to join a union.

The governor was in Joliet in March making his case for local right-to-work zones.

On Wednesday, Rauner’s office issued a statement saying local communities should decide the issue and, “If Joliet voters want to allow unions, the governor has not issue with that. He just wants them to have a choice.”

O’Dekirk’s comments came after he issued a statement Tuesday that said Rauner’s

proposal is “anti-worker” and dividing Illinois.

“I will be glad to join Gov. Bruce Rauner in any economic development efforts that recognize the rights of labor unions to operate and so would labor union members who want more job opportunities, but Rauner needs to stop the anti-worker rhetoric that is dividing our efforts to revitalize the state and local economy,” O’Dekirk said in the statement.

He also said Rauner had “toned down his anti-union rhetoric to get elected” and said the governor’s comments since the election show “he would prefer that Illinois workers have no right to organize.”

O’Dekirk was elected April 7 and takes office May 4.

QUICK NEWS Funding restoration bill passes Illinois Senate

SPRINGFIELD – State legislation reinstating $26 million in cuts to social services and public health grants passed the Illinois Senate on Wednesday afternoon, according to state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet.

Senate Bill 274, sponsored

by Sen. Dan Kotowski, D-Park Ridge, would restore funding to programs targeted for funding suspension by Gov. Bruce Rauner earlier, including money to pay for indigent burials, smoking cessation, youth and teen employment and AIDS. Rauner suspended the money as part of a series of efforts he’s undertaken to balance Illinois’ budget.

Senate Bill 274 now heads to the Illinois House.

Rialto volunteers have been helping Joliet theater since 1986

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Many people have talked lately about helping the Rialto Square Theatre.

One group has done so for the past 30 years.

When the Rialto needed $42,000 to put netting around eroding terra cotta to keep the building safe, who did they call? The Rialto volunteers.

“We do that because we care about the theater, and we care about the art that the theater produces,” said Ray Malmgren, volunteers board president.

Volunteers sell tickets, usher people to their seats, sell concessions, tend bar, check coats and handle other ordinary tasks that make it possible for the shows to go on.

About 100 of the 192 volunteers available are needed for a sold-out show. Not only do they save the Rialto the expense of a paid staff, they raise money for the theater at the same time.

They generate money at shows through tips, concession sales and 50/50 raffles.

The money stays in the volunteer organization until a need is found, such as the terra cotta repairs.

LEFT: Rialto Square Theatre volunteer Gary White ushers in patrons to their seats after intermission during a performance Tuesday in Joliet.

White said he has volunteered with the theater for 25 years.

$832,000 in fundraising

The volunteers don’t have the kind of money on hand to save the Rialto from the $350,000 marquee debacle that has given the theater a financial headache during the past few months.

But the Rialto Square Theatre Volunteer Organization has raised $832,000 for the theater since forming in 1986.

“All that money that is generated is volunteer money but is not spent specifically on things that the volunteers need – like the coats that we need to wear,” Malmgren

Volunteering was something they could do together.

‘A beautiful place’

said. “That money goes to the Rialto.”

Volunteers buy their own black-and-white formal wear, giving the Rialto not only a touch of class during shows and making it easy to identi-

fy the help, but also providing volunteers with the moniker “The Penguins.”

Malmgren of New Lenox joined the volunteers with his wife, JoAnne, in 2011 because of their love for the Rialto.

Gary White and his wife, Mary Kay, joined in 1990 for the same reasons, although he has a more sentimental story.

“When we first dated, we went to the Rialto,” White said.

Back then, they lived in Lemont, and the Rialto showed movies. There were not many movie theaters around and none quite like the Rialto, White said.

“We liked going to the Rialto because it was a beautiful place to go and see a movie,” he said. Like many couples of their era, they enjoyed the balcony section.

White remembers the first film he saw there, “The Magnificent Seven.”

“I love the theater, and I get the satisfaction that we can help preserve the theater,” he said.

Kindergartners learn how to ‘Root for Earth’ More online

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Kindergarten students at The Goddard School in Plainfield braved the windy, cold weather Wednesday to get a jump-start on their vegetable garden.

Led by teachers Nikki Theodoropoulos and Brittany O’Connell, the students loosened up a square patch of soil on school grounds, preparing it for new life. Theodoropoulos tugged at a root in the dirt and pulled it up for students to see.

“Whoa, look at that root!” she said. “See the worms there?”

The students were grossed out by the worms, until Theodoropoulos told them they were good for the garden.

The vegetable garden activity was one of many students at the Plainfield Goddard School – a private early childhood school – engaged in this week for the fifth annual Root for Earth campaign.

The nationwide campaign for The Goddard Schools has students participating in hands-on activities that teach them about the environment and how to preserve it.

Visit this article at TheHerald-News. com for a video of Wednesday’s activities at The Goddard School.

Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com

Ioanna Pavlis, 6, (left) and Sarah Shumard, 6, (right) use yellow shovels to dig for roots at The Goddard School on Wednesday in Plainfield.

The campaign is designed to create a foundation for children to become environmentally responsible adults and create a more sustainable planet for future generations, school officials said.

Kindergarten students at the Plainfield school prepared the soil for planting,

painted rocks for decorating the garden and set birdfeeders on a nearby fence to ward away hungry birds from the garden.

“It’s really a good activity for exploration and discovery,” Theodoropoulos said.

She said it was the third year the school had done a

garden. This year, students also worked on another garden with flowers that teachers hope will be a home for monarch butterflies. Theodoropoulos said students are raising caterpillars that will become those butterflies.

Because of the cold weather, planting will not begin

until closer to Mother’s Day, she said.

Besides gardening, students have discussed ways to preserve the Earth. Students also will have a fashion show Friday featuring clothes made out of newspapers.

All Goddard Schools nationwide also kept non-essential lights off for one hour at 10 a.m. Wednesday as part of the Lights Out! portion of the campaign.

Kristi Gottschild, executive director for the Plainfield Goddard School, said the campaign is a fun, educational week for students.

“It ties in together with our theme with April, which is ‘spring is all around us,’ ” Gottschild said. “When we’re talking about nature and wildlife, the children are able to get a better understanding of recycling and why that’s important.”

Meeting on Union Station lease slated for Thursday

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – City officials plan to meet Thursday with Bussean Custom Caterers to discuss a new lease at Union Station.

The lease expired in December, and Councilman Jim McFarland this week said the city should consider letting other caterers use the banquet hall at Union Station, which no longer is used as a train station.

The meeting with Bussean was planned weeks ahead of McFarland’s comments at Tuesday’s Joliet City Council

meeting, said Jim Haller, community and economic development director.

Haller said the city has not heard from other caterers interested in using Union Station and noted that Jeffrey Bussean has spent money on banquet area upgrades.

“He was the only guy who stepped up and invested so much of his own money into that building,” Haller said.

If city officials and Bussean do reach an agreement on a new lease, it would have to be presented to the City Council for approval, Haller said.

Union Station is owned by

the city of Joliet. It was closed last year to commuters as the city changed the location of commuter platforms as part of a construction project that will include a new train station on the other side of the tracks.

Bussean apparently has expected to remain at Union Station. He has spent money on upgrades since the lease expired, including a conversion of the old Metra ticket office into a bride’s room for wedding parties.

Other than a police substation, Bussean has been the building’s only user since it was shut down to commuters.

The building has basically been locked up, with Bussean also using a downstairs area for banquet space.

The banquet hall is on the second level.

Bussean could not be reached for comment Wednesday. But a spokeswoman told The Herald-News in February that Union Station had become more valuable as a banquet setting without commuters going through.

McFarland said Tuesday it is possible the banquet facility could be put to greater use if the city gave more caterers access.

“I’d like us to see how we can maximize the train station for greater revenue,” McFarland said.

Haller said Bussean has discussed new terms that would bring more revenue to Joliet. Rent is now based on 15 percent of gross receipts from food and beverage sales and $4 per person attending events.

That could be changed to a flat fee of $10,000 a month, Haller said.

In past years, depending on the economy, rent revenue from the banquet facility has been anywhere from $40,000 to $100,000, Haller said.

JOLIET – Two men were arrested Tuesday after police say they drove by officers following a reported shooting in Joliet.

Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said two officers were parked in the 1400 block of Englewood Avenue at 6:56 p.m. when they heard three shots from the north.

“Immediately afterward, a silver Ford Fusion drove past at a high rate of speed heading southbound,” Gregory said.

“The officers called backup and tried to have the vehicle [pull over] when the driver eventually turned into a driveway in the 700 block of Francis Street.”

Gregory said the front seat passenger, Shyhiem Z. Atkinson, 20, kept “shifting and moving” as officers approached the car. Atkinson was ordered from the vehicle Shyhiem Z. along with the Atkinson driver, Alfred R. Warren, 20, and a 19-year-old man who was in the backseat.

“Officers found live .38-caliber rounds in the passenger seat, a revolver with one live round and four more rounds under the passenger seat and a black mask in the back seat,” Gregory said.

Police then reviewed footage from a surveillance camera near Robin Lane and Englewood Avenue. Gregory said it showed a masked Atkinson lean out of the passenger window and shoot at a group of men outside as the car went by.

No one was injured in the shooting, but a building in the 800 block of Robin Lane was damaged.

Atkinson, of the 400 block of North Street in Lockport, was booked into the Will County jail on charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, unauthorized possession of a firearm by a felon and unauthorized possession of ammunition. Warren, of the 100 block of Iowa Avenue, was charged with driving on a suspended license. The 19-year-old passenger, a Joliet man, was released

without being charged.

According to Will County court records, Atkinson pleaded guilty to robbery and residential burglary in 2012 and was sentenced to five years in

JOLIET – Robert Whalen of Plainfield sometimes forgoes his car and bikes to the gym as a way to reduce pollution. His sister, Laura Whalen, 18, carpools to work when possible.

“It’s a little tough to do in the winter, but I try to bike whenever I can in the summer,” said Whalen, 20, who joined friends Wednesday at Joliet Junior College’s Earth Day celebration.

Students, faculty and community members exchanged knowledge on environmental, sustainable and mindful-living topics. The event included an Earth Day Sustainability Expo, a Recycled Art Show and a sustainability poetry reading.

The expo included exhibits about Earth-friendly cleaning products, local raw honey and Helpers of Mother Earth – a local nonprofit that conducts area litter cleanups throughout the year.

Students should go “beyond green” when considering ways to befriend Mother Earth, said Maria Anna Rafac, professor and program adviser at JJC. The expo is designed so get students thinking about “creating a culture of sustainability” on campus through economic, social and environmentally friendly means. Volunteering at a nonprofit or donating clothing to a secondhand thrift store are lesser known examples of being Earth-friendly, she said.

“It’s more than green. We believe it’s about the environment. But the only reason we care about the environment is because we, as people, need the air and the water. We need

a captain of the ushers. Mary Kay helps with coffee and cookies.

Gary also serves as a tour guide. His love for the Rialto is affirmed by the impression the theater makes on visitors from other cities.

Meeting the stars

For Leanne Hoffrogge, becoming a Rialto volunteer was a way to stay involved in theater.

“I have been involved in theater since I was a small child,” said Hoffrogge, who became a volunteer in 2007. She now is a Rialto staffer who coordinates the volunteer group.

Of course, being a volunteer comes with certain perks, such as meeting some of the star entertainers who perform

there.

Hoffrogge especially has fond memories of comedian Joan Rivers, who, she said, was nothing like the sharpedged personality she portrayed in her act.

“She was one of the nicest people I ever met,” Hoffrogge said, telling how Rivers took a sincere interest in the people she met at the Rialto. “She took the time to talk with them and focused on them.”

But the biggest satisfaction for volunteers, she said, is knowing the contribution they make to the Rialto.

“I don’t know if everyone who comes through our doors realizes that almost everyone you see in a black-and-white uniform is a volunteer. I think they assume they are paid staff,” Hoffrogge said. “Without the volunteer corps, we could not open our doors. We would not have enough staff.”

JOLIET – The Will County Coroner’s office has identified the man whose body was found Saturday in the Des Plaines River.

Lonnie R. Jones, 19, of Joliet was identified Tuesday night through a dental record comparison, Coroner Patrick K. O’Neil said.

According to reports, Jones was reporting missing to authorities on April 13 – three days after he reportedly jumped into the river from the Cass Street Bridge.

About 5 p.m. April 10, a witness reportedly saw a man clutching a Bible dive from the south side of the bridge. Police used surveillance video from the casino to confirm where the man went into the water, but a dive team could not find him.

Firefighters used a boat to conduct “surface searches” twice a day until the body was located in the water behind Harrah’s Casino between the Cass Street and Jefferson Street bridges.

An autopsy showed Jones drowned, the coroner’s office reported.

Crest Hill passes $24.6M budget, sets aside reserves for ‘the worst’ Board, the city is spending $281,238 more than it’s receiving in revenue, according to the operating budget summary.

But Tomasoski said the City Council and staff have built up reserves in the motor fuel tax and water and sewer funds in anticipation of projects. These include the resurfacing of Gaylord Road, Theodore Street, Manico Drive and Susanna Way, street and sidewalk maintenance and water projects, such as well improvements and water main, valve and hydrant replacements.

Tomasoski said budget lines for capital projects were added this year, along with other changes, to bring the city’s budget process a step closer to becoming certified by the Government Finance Officers Association.

“We’re working to make it more than a standard budget,” Tomasoski said. “We’re making it a better financial tool for [City Council] going forward.”

CREST HILL – The Crest Hill City Council passed this week a balanced $24.6 million budget that anticipates reductions in state income tax revenue.

Within the 2015-16 budget, $8.5 million is allocated to the general fund, $6.04 million to the water and sewer fund, and $3.33 million in water and sewer capital projects, according to a budget report.

“We have shown strong fiscal responsibility with a balanced budget,” Mayor Ray Soliman said. “With the uncertainty in Springfield, we are expecting the worst and have a surplus in place to offset those losses. We will continue to do infrastructure projects and to provide the same level of service that our residents come to expect.”

The city expects to collect $9.23 million in tax revenue in

its general fund. Sales tax revenue gives the city $2.55 million, property tax $1.27 million and state income tax $2.06 million.

Reserves have been set aside to supplement lost revenue if Gov. Bruce Rauner’s plan to cut state income tax revenue for municipalities in half succeeds. City Administrator John Tomasoski said the city budgeted for no losses to its funds to protect core services to the city.

Those services include police, street maintenance, city clerk and treasurer services and others.

The budget also includes $2.03 million in debt service, $1.76 million in motor fuel tax projects, $1.15 million in garbage services, $825,500 in nonhome rule sales tax expenses, $717,000 in police pension contributions and $250,000 in capital projects.

ROBERT J. BAHER

ARTHUR J. BERGESON

The world lost a true Renaissance man when Robert Joseph Baher passed away on April 21, 2015.

Born in Joliet to Harry and Rose (Jacklich) Baher, on September 13, 1922, Robert lived his whole life surrounded by beauty and love. He was an artist, a writer, a musician, an opera lover and a genuinely good soul.

He graduated from Joliet Township High School in 1939, and worked for Joliet Pattern Works as the office manager for his entire career.

He was one of the founders and the only surviving original member of a Joliet writers group - a collection of like-minded creative people who shared a love of the written word in plays, novels, and short stories. He was a season ticket holder for the Lyric Opera and enjoyed taking guests to share in one of his passions. His family and friends proudly display his paintings in their homes.

Robert was preceded in death by his mother and father; brother, James; nephew, Jerry Konkel; and great niece, Christine Cole.

He is survived by his brother, Bernard Baher of Avon, MA; and sister, Jeannette Baher Konkel of Allen, TX. He is also survived by many loving and grateful nieces and nephews, Janet Cole, Joan Baher, Randy Konkel, Richard Baher, Rosemary McNally, Kathleen Zwart, Christopher Baher, Kieran Baher and their children, all of whom will long-remember their favorite Uncle Bob and who have so many stories to share of his wonderful generosity and creativity. He is also survived by cousins, Barbara and Ron Smithberg, and Marianne Miller and their children who all loved him as a special uncle.

He was a life-long member of St. Joseph’s Parish, and in accordance with his wishes, private interment will take place at St. Joseph’s Cemetery, and a memorial mass will be held at a later date.

Robert will be profoundly missed by all who ever had the privilege and honor of calling him family or friend.

In his memory, donations may be made to the Robert J. Baher Literary Scholarship, Joliet Township High School, Attention Karla Guesman, 300 Caterpillar Drive, Joliet, IL 60436.

Demand for food stamps increased in Illinois The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Demand for food stamps has increased in Illinois and 10 other states despite a healthier economy and better jobs numbers.

An Associated Press analysis finds it’s an unforeseen consequence of President Barack Obama’s health care law.

People signing up for Medicaid under the health law’s

expansion of coverage are signing up for food stamps too. Illinois food stamp enrollment rose 2.5 percent during 2013 and 2014.

That’s a period when Illinois was modernizing its

enrollment system, using federal money made available through the health law.

A new online application – nicknamed “ABE” for the 16th president – makes signing up for benefits easier

than ever.

More than 2 million Illinois residents get food benefits through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps.

Clerks to comply with voting law before Schock primary

SPRINGFIELD – County clerks in the congressional district of former U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock say they’re scrambling to comply with a new Illinois voting law ahead of a primary election vote to replace him.

The new state law requires counties to let voters register and vote on Election Day at polling places. The law takes effect June 1, and the special primary election for Schock’s seat is July 7, leaving clerks little time to find money for computer upgrades and to give training about registration.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reported some state lawmakers are considering pushing back the launch of same-day registration and voting. The move is supported by state Sens. John Sullivan, D-Rushville, and Jason Barickman, R-Bloomington.

“We can’t wait until May 31 to do this,” Barickman said.

Clerks in Sangamon and Logan counties said they’re planning to be in compliance with the new law by the July 7 primary.

“I don’t have time to waste,” Sangamon County Clerk Don Gray said.

Springfield will play host to county clerks’ annual statewide conference next week. Clerks from McLean and Tazewell counties said they’ll wait to make a final decision on the new law at the conference.

Kathy Michael, who’s the clerk in McLean County, said she recognizes that state lawmakers

Chicago schools suspend contract with company under probe

Ready to be spotless?

CHICAGO – Chicago Public Schools is suspending its roughly $20 million contract with a suburban company under federal investigation.

In a letter Tuesday, interim schools CEO Jesse Ruiz gave SUPES Academy a 30-day notice as required by its agreement.

School officials disclosed the probe earlier this month.

Federal investigators have asked for records related to the district’s contract with the company that provides principal training, along with documents from district CEO Barbara Byrd-Bennett and three other employees.

Byrd-Bennett announced last week she is taking paid leave so the investigation doesn’t become a distraction.

Byrd-Bennett consulted for the Wilmette-based SUPES Academy before being named head of the nation’s third-largest school district in 2012.

SUPES spokesman Dennis Culloton said the company is disappointed the contract is being suspending and officials there stand behind the training.

IHSA to vote on rules to limit contact in football practice

BLOOMINGTON – The Illinois High School Association is expected to vote in June on new rules that would limit the amount of full-contact practice allowed for high school football teams.

The IHSA governs high school sports in the state. It said its board of directors discussed the proposals Tuesday and will seek feedback before voting June 15.

The plan would limit teams to three days of live-contact practice a week. Players also would be barred from having more than one full-contact practice a day.

The changes would take effect ahead of the 2015 football season.

• Thursday, April 23, 2015

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said Wednesday he wants to banish a requirement that nonunion public school teachers pay union fees – the Republican’s latest swipe at public sector unions he blames for worsening the state’s financial woes.

Rauner already has sued in federal court to stop what he calls “forced union dues collection” from state government workers, an issue that sent unions to state court in their own action against the move.

Speaking in downtown Springfield, the Republican said he’s had support, even from state workers who are union members. He contended that teachers have asked him whether the executive order he signed in February to bar collection of “fair share fees” from nonunion state employees could be extended to the schoolhouse.

“I believe it should apply to teachers, and we’ll deal with that later,” Rauner said.

Teachers unions quickly lashed out at the idea, calling it illegal and a slap at instructors who “advocate for their students.”

Beginning his 101st day in office, Rauner also explained to capital-city civic and business leaders that he is trying to tackle seemingly tangential issues while also wrestling with multibillion-dollar deficits because the two go hand in hand.

Long critical of public employee unions’ influence on government, Rauner’s executive order directed state agencies which answer to him to hold up the fair-share fees nonunion employees pay by law to support collective bargaining, grievance procedures and other costs they incur for representing all employees, not just union members. The fees paid by 6,500 nonunion workers are less than union-member dues.

Unions sued the governor in circuit court to halt the action,

“They have their hands full,” Michael said.

and Rauner entered a court agreement this month to stop holding up the fees until the issue is litigated.

Rauner declined to elaborate on how he would approach teachers’ union fees when asked by The Associated Press as he left the event sponsored by the Citizens Club of Springfield. Later in East Peoria, he softened his stance, saying he’s confident he’ll win the state-worker fee issue in court and that a judicial decision “could have broader implications to all government employees and taxpayer-funded entities just like schools.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS House OKs bill designed to thwart cyberattacks

WASHINGTON – The House on Wednesday passed long-awaited legislation designed to thwart cyberattacks by encouraging private companies to share information about the attackers’ methods with each other and the government.

The measure, which passed 307 to 116, grants protection from liability if companies follow certain procedures. Many companies have been reluctant to share internal data about cyberattacks for fear of being sued, leaving both the firms and the government less equipped to battle an onslaught of cyberintrusions, including state-sponsored campaigns to purloin American intellectual property.

In a statement, the White House praised the bill that passed Wednesday while also expressing concerns, arguing that the liability protections in some cases went too far and ultimately could reduce the incentive for companies to report breaches.

8M calls unanswered as IRS cut taxpayer service

WASHINGTON – The IRS’ overloaded phone system hung up on more than 8 million taxpayers this filing season as the agency cut millions of dollars from taxpayer services to help pay to enforce President Barack Obama’s health law.

For those who weren’t disconnected, only 40 percent actually

got through to a person. And many of those people had to wait on hold for more than 30 minutes, IRS Commissioner John Koskinen said Wednesday.

The number of disconnected callers spiked just as taxpayers were being hit with new requirements under the health law.

Taxpayers had to report whether they had health insurance last year on their tax returns.

Republicans in Congress adamantly oppose Obama’s health law, so some have worked to starve the IRS of funds just as its role in implementing the law ramps up.

New Yemen airstrikes after Saudis claim halt

SANAA, Yemen – Hours after Saudi Arabia declared an end to its coalition’s nearly monthlong air campaign in Yemen, new airstrikes Wednesday hit Iranbacked militants and their allies in two cities, and the rebels said they would welcome U.N.-led peace talks in the conflict that has killed more than 900 people.

The continued airstrikes suggested that the U.S.-backed offensive, aimed at restoring Yemen’s internationally recognized president, was entering a new phase in which the Saudi-led military action will be scaled back but not halted completely.

Air raids struck positions held by the rebels and their allies in the southern port of Aden and the central city of Taiz.

Ballroom dancer describes losing leg in marathon blast DENISE LAVOIE The Associated Press BOSTON – After the first bomb went off down the street at the Boston Marathon, Adrianne Haslet-Davis somehow knew there was another one coming.

“I wrapped my arms around my husband and said, ‘The next one’s gonna hit, the next one’s gonna hit,’” she recalled Wednesday at the trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

The next thing she knew, she was on the ground. Her husband, Adam, tied a tourniquet around her ravaged left leg, but he couldn’t stop screaming.

“My first thought is, he’s in shock and I have to save myself,” she said.

The professional ballroom dancer crawled through broken glass, dragging her bloody leg along the pavement, shredding her forearms in the process. She made it into a restaurant.

Her husband walked in soon after, then collapsed on the stairs. An artery in his foot was spurting blood, his face grew pale, and his eyes began rolling back in his head, she said.

“I thought he was dying,” she said.

He survived; she ended up losing her leg.

Her account – some of the rawest testimony heard to date in the case – came on the second day of the penalty phase of Tsarnaev’s trial.

The jury that convicted the 21-year-old former college student in the bombing is deciding whether should get the death penalty.

Three people were killed and more than 260 wounded when Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, detonated two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the race on April 15, 2013.

Tsarnaev also was convicted in the killing of an MIT police officer as the brothers attempted to flee.

AP photo

Police flank an explosive ordnance disposal officer (second from left) as they patrol past the site of the first 2013 bombing site before the start of the Boston Marathon on Monday in Boston.

Tsarnaev’s lawyers say Tamerlan, 26, masterminded the attack and recruited his impressionable younger brother, then 19, to help him.

They say his life should be spared.

But prosecutors, seeking to emphasize the brutality of the attack, have called a long list of victims and their families to describe the heartbreaking consequences.

Haslet-Davis sobbed and covered her face with her hand as she described the terrifying aftermath of the bombing. She said she thought her husband was dead and she would be next.

At the hospital, she instinctively told medical personnel what she did for a living as they looked at her leg.

“I just kept screaming that I was a ballroom dancer,” she said.

She called her parents to say goodbye.

“I said, ‘I’ve been in a terrorist attack, and I don’t think I have a foot left anymore, and I’m in really bad shape, and I really need to talk to you, and this might be it,’” she said.

Her husband, an Air Force officer who had returned from Afghanistan just two weeks before the marathon, wasn’t in court Wednesday.

“He has bravely admitted himself into a mental facility at the VA hospital,” she said.

As she left the witness stand, she gave a long, furious glare at Tsarnaev. His lawyers leaned in toward him as if to protect him.

In other testimony Wednesday, Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old Boston University graduate student from China who was killed in the bombing, was remembered as a highly intelligent, vivacious young woman who took pleasure even in the smallest things, especially food.

“Everything you cook for her, she say, ‘It’s so good. It’s awesome,’” said Jinyan Zhao, a surrogate aunt to Lu. She called Lu “a beautiful nerd.”

Also Wednesday, Tsarnaev’s lawyers tried to blunt the impact of a photo of Tsarnaev giving the finger to a security camera in his jail cell three months after the bombing.

His lawyers showed the jury video clips of him looking into the camera, apparently fixing his hair in the reflective glass, and then making a slightly angled, two-finger gesture similar to what teenagers often do playfully in selfies. Then he raised his middle finger at the camera.

Recently, Pope Francis angered Turkey and created a stir by publicly recognizing the Armenian Genocide. It’s a shining example for other world leaders to finally acknowledge the genocide on its 100th anniversary Friday.

Between 1915 and 1923, the Turkish Ottoman Empire began a brutal and systematic extermination and deportation of the Christian Armenian people from part of their ancestral homelands, now located in Turkey.

Most scholars and many nations recognize it as genocide – a systematic attempt to destroy a particular ethnic, racial, religious or national group. Yet Turkey adamantly continues to deny it. Fearful

of provoking Turkey, a so-called ally in the Middle East, President Barack Obama also refuses to call it genocide, despite his 2008 campaign promises to do so.

But this is not about current politics. All should honor the victims, the survivors and their descendants of any genocide, because genocide is a crime against all humanity.

History shows us what happens when we fail to do so. In a speech before his invasion of Poland in 1939, Adolph Hitler brimmed with confidence that no one would stop his genocidal plans, making the chilling remark, “Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?”

And so it is today, we must finally answer Hitler’s question. Who today will speak of the annihilation of the Armenians? Who will finally call it by its right name, 100 shameful years of denial later?

Message to Congress – freight can’t wait The Will County Center for Economic Development been sounding alarm bells for years – America’s infrastructure system is in a state of disrepair. Illinois has 2,275 structurally deficient bridges, and 15 percent of major roads are in poor condition. Estimates show these deficiencies cost motorists an average of $449 annually.

The U.S. Constitution calls on Congress “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states.”

Unfortunately, Congress has been unable in the last decade to pass a long-term surface transportation bill and raise revenue to fund system-wide maintenance and improvement.

Will County suffers from congressional inaction. As Congress distributes money through short-term extensions, project costs increase.

The transportation authorization bill expires May 31. Without pressure from constituents, Congress likely will pass a short-term extension. We won’t see funding for megaprojects, and we won’t be adequately prepared to address the challenges that come from a rebounding economy.

The North American manufacturing base is growing, folks are buying new cars and clothes, and farmers are producing record-volume crops.

We need a stable and robust transportation investment plan to support our growing economy.

The CED sent representatives to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday and Thursday as part of the Coalition for America’s Gateways and Trade Corridors Annual Meeting. We’re pushing Congress to pass a long-term surface transportation authorization that provides funding and policy for large-scale projects that get

our goods to market. We need to show elected officials they have support at home and the political cover to pass a longterm bill and raise revenue to fix our freight infrastructure system.

Failing to bolster our nation’s ports, waterways, roads, rails and aviation assets now is short-selling workers and business in the present, and future generations will be forced to run behind other nations whose leaders invested for the longterm.

The United States is still the world’s No. 1 economy. We have the means to invest in our own prosperity to ensure that same advantage for our children. Let’s not allow political inaction to dictate a lesser choice, or Will County suffers.

Lincoln-Way West improves to 16-0 with victory over Joliet West / 21

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 2, JOLIET WEST 0 (25-10, 25-13)

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 23, 2015

JOLIET – The boys volleyball teams from Lincoln-Way West and Joliet West played a three-set match to determine the championship of the Tigers Invite at the start of the season, so Wednesday’s rematch between the two figured to be another close one.

But the unbeaten Warriors sought to end such thoughts by jumping out to a big early lead in the opener, and they guaranteed a quick afternoon by breaking open a tight second set to capture a 25-10, 25-13 SouthWest Suburban Conference victory.

Lincoln-Way West im proved to 16-0 after combining another standout performance from Michael Wexter with good contributions from a variety of players.

“This was the best that our energy has been probably all season,” Warriors coach Brian Thorp said. “The bench and the guys on the floor were into it. They all just came out with a clear mind and were ready to play today. And it was fun to see everyone get involved. Last time we played them, we had our two big guns getting most of the kills; and today, Scott [Christensen] stepped up on the outside, and Max [Rosenfeld] had a couple of big blocks.

“This was the best that we’ve played all year, and we dug a lot of balls. It was exciting to see some of the things that we’ve been working on coming along. A few of our guys get a lot of pub, but we have a lot of good players who know how to play the game, and when they’re called upon, they make plays, which is exciting. They’re fun to coach since I’m serious, focused and intense – and they don’t like any of that, so I let them do their thing.”

In the opener, the Warriors (16-0, 3-0) jumped out to 9-2 and 14-3 leads as Dylan Kogut, Jake Gasparich, Christensen (seven kills) and Wexter (11 kills, four blocks, nine digs) all had kills, Rosenfeld and Wexter were in on a block, and Wexter served up an ace.

“We knew what their team could do, so we worked really

Lincoln-Way West’s Michael Wexter spikes the ball past Joliet West’s Matt Wyman during Wednesday’s match at Joliet West. Wexter had 11 kills, four blocks and nine digs in the SouthWest Suburban Conference victory.

“Everyone stepped up in this game, and that was a big part of our success. I love the hype and how everyone is excited to play in every game. We’re going to stay positive, and we’re

going to keep working, and we’re just going to keep the energy up – since that’s been the key to our success so far.”

The Tigers (12-4, 1-2) put up a much better fight in the second set, either having the lead or being within a point of the lead during the early stages.

Scott Lyman and Luke Van Eck (three kills) each had kills and Tyler Hirsch served up an ace to counter three kills and a block from Wexter and two kills by Christensen, as the visitors only held an early 10-9 advantage.

But then the Warriors began to pull away as Christensen added two more kills, Gasparich and Wexter also got kills, and Hugh Flores and Rosenfeld contributed blocks to give their team a commanding 19-11 lead.

“We’re continuing to work hard every day in practice and just feeding off of each others’ energy,” Rosenfeld said.

“When you’ve got a guy like Mike on the court, the whole team really feeds off of his energy. With each game, we’re getting better with our chemistry and our individual play, too. We pick a single thing out each day and focus on that. My favorite thing about this team is how well we all get along. I have a good time playing with

them.”

The Tigers, who also got three kills from Matt Wyman, lost their second straight SWSC match, falling in three sets on Monday to Lincoln-Way Central. Coach Jason Herrmann hopes his squad returns to form when they play in this weekend’s Minooka Invite.

“We have a drill in practice that we call ‘vortex,’ and sometimes you get stuck in this downward spin, and you have to be able to get yourself out,” Herrmann said. “And when you’re playing a team of that caliber, it’s very hard to come back out of it.

“We had a good match on Monday against a good Lincoln-Way Central team. We gave away a lead in Game 1 and then played like we can in Game 2 but lost in three games, which hurt. So coming in here, we had a good practice yesterday, and we were hoping to see a great match; but when they came out like they did, it’s hard to come back.”

SOFTBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 12, COAL CITY 2 (5 INN.)

JCA uses the long ball to derail Coal City

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Catholic leadoff hitter Reilly Jo Swanson said she was waiting for her softball coach, Dave Douglas, to verbalize his congratulations as she rounded third base in her brand-new home run trot.

“I was hoping he would say something, and he didn’t say anything,” Swanson said. “But he did give it that nod of approval.”

Douglas laughed and said he didn’t want to be mean and say something about how the wind was blowing out.

Swanson walloped her three-run homer to straightaway center field Wednesday to give the Angels a 3-1 second-inning inning lead, and JCA went on to blitz noncon-

ference foe Coal City, 12-2, in five innings.

“It was my first homer.

I never hit one before, so I didn’t know,” Swanson said when asked if she felt the ball was gone when she connected.

“I was rounding second base hard, and then I saw what it was. I was so excited.

“I’m going to try to do that again sometime. But really, my game is to put the ball in play.”

“Reilly has been hitting the ball hard, and she is playing a solid second base,” Douglas said. “We’re playing better than we were a couple of weeks ago, and the thing I’m happy about is the girls are making solid contact, and they’re getting rewarded. They’re finding gaps and hitting it over the fences.”

After Swanson’s homer, Brenna Garland singled and

scored on Meghan Harrison’s triple to make it 4-1.

“That was big. It always helps to have some runs to work with,” said winning pitcher Alyssa Callans, a junior right-hander who allowed one hit after the first inning.

JCA (8-7 and winner of three straight) was back at it in the third inning, scoring six times. Gillian Mantia and Garland singled home runs, and Callans helped herself with a grand slam to center field, her third homer and first slam of the season. Garland’s hit was her third straight.

Josie Henderson homered leading off the bottom of the fourth, and Caitlyn Spreitzer singled and scored on a wild pitch to make it 12-2 and put the Angels in position to end it early on the mercy rule. With Callans in a groove and her

defense settled in, that is what happened.

“They weren’t hitting the ball that hard at the beginning,” Coal City coach Stephanie Harmon said of the Angels.

“They were hitting some little ducks. But then we walked some people, and it wound up biting us in the butt. They got the key hits.”

Freshman Leslie Youskevtch started for the Coalers and pitched the first two innings, allowing Swanson’s homer in the four-run second. Senior Emily Aichele relieved to start the third and faced five batters, yielding three walks and a single while getting one out.

Youskevtch returned to the circle at that point, and after Garland singled, Callans hit her slam. Youskevtch finished the game, also allowing Henderson’s homer.

SUBMITTED REPORTS JOLIET – Lewis baseball coach Tim McDonough earned his 200th career victory Tuesday night as the Flyers beat neighborhood rival and nonconference foe St. Francis, 10-2, at Silver Cross Field.

The Flyers (19-19) scored four runs in the top of the first inning off Matt DeGraw (Lockport, Joliet Junior College) to set the tone. Austin Mastela (Lockport), Jared Pyatt, Mark Kornacker (Lemont) and Chris Pikoulas drove home the runs.

St. Francis (21-22) scored a run in the bottom half of the inning before Lewis added two in the fourth on RBIs by Ethan Bloom and Pyatt.

Pyatt had three hits. Bloom, the reigning Great Lakes Valley Conference player of the week, had two hits to extend his hitting streak to 17 games.

He also knocked in two runs.

Mastela scored twice, knocked in a pair and had two hits, including a triple. Sam Cybulski

also finished with two hits.

Freshman Eric Luecht (2-4) allowed two runs on four hits in five innings to get the win.

The Lewis bullpen threw the final four innings, allowing two hits and no runs. DeGraw (1-2) worked the first inning only for USF. “The bullpen was solid, and we were clean defensively,” McDonough said in a news release. “I thought we got a lot of production up and down the lineup. It feels good to be back to .500. We have been playing our best baseball as we enter the stretch run.”

Lewis, which won its third straight, had 13 hits to six for the Saints and benefited from four St. Francis errors.

Brandon Mendoza and Mario Hernandez each had an RBI single for USF. Hernandez extended his hitting streak to eight games. The Saints used five pitchers and 16 position players, while four pitchers and 12 position players saw action for Lewis.

Callans allowed a leadoff single to Taylor Meents and McKenna Emerson’s RBI double in the first inning and Leah Campos’ single in the third.

Campos scored on an error.

Callans, who had two of JCA’s 11 hits, struck out the last two batters in the first inning and nobody else. But she walked only two while retiring nine of the last 10 batters she faced.

MEN’S VOLLEYBALL: MIDWEST INTERCOLLEGIATE VOLLEYBALL ASSOCIATION QUARTERFINAL PREVIEW

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, April 23, 2015

ROMEOVILLE – A different level of volleyball, one rarely seen in the area, is consistently played at Neil Carey Arena.

This season, Lewis has been special to watch. The Flyers have lost only two matches – both in five sets – and are the top-ranked men’s volleyball team in the nation.

The Flyers leave most spectators in awe as they dominate offensively with hard hitters and excel defensively at the net and in the back of the court. Some think it’s pure talent, but it’s a mix of that plus experience and having fun.

Six starters played the same position for the Flyers last season and have played huge roles in this year’s success.

Going into the season, however, Lewis was ranked ninth.

Possibly, those who ranked the teams underestimated how the No. 1 Flyers (24-2) would play without three-time American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America second-team setter BJ Boldog.

Scott Fifer had big shoes to fill, and he has made it look easy. The junior setter and quarterback of the offense has played an important role in his team’s success. And he’s done it with a huge smile on his face.

“People weren’t really sure who I was going into the season,” Fifer said. “But the team meshes really well on and off the court, and I think that’s what makes us a great team.

People don’t realize the tangibles, how well we connect, how well we enjoy playing together. They don’t see those parts of our team.”

The season’s lone new starter has turned fun into success.

Fifer has totaled 807 assists, averaging 9.38 a set. He also has a .460 hitting percentage with 31 kills, 98 digs, 68 total blocks and seven aces in 86 sets played.

The strong season makes it a little surprising Fifer did not start last year, but he knew going into his career at Lewis that he would sit his first two years because of Boldog. He welcomed his role and took the opportunity to learn from

Lewis University’s Scott Fifer sets the ball to Bobby Walsh against Ohio State during a match April 17 at Neil Carey Arena at Lewis University in Romeoville. The Flyers won in straight sets.

“People weren’t really sure who I was going into the season. But the team meshes really well on and off the court, and I think that’s what makes us a great team. ” Scott Fifer Lewis University junior volleyball setter a great setter.

Going into his third season, however, the 6-foot-3 Orland Park native still was not guaranteed a starting spot.

Fifer had to fight head-to-head for the position with redshirt freshman and good friend Gert Lisha.

Fifer stayed late in practices for extra reps and continued to work hard so he had the chance to play. Boldog said

Fifer’s success didn’t come out of nowhere. His success came from his three years of working hard as a Flyer.

“I think that he’s done a great job,” Boldog said. “I think that the guys have done a really great job welcoming him into that starting position.

A lot of his success is because he worked really hard. He’s new to starting, but not new to the program. This is his

third year, so he knows how to run things. I think that even though it might have seemed like a big transition, he made it pretty seamlessly because he’s been around it all.”

“He’s always been an important part of the team. Two years ago when he was a freshman, I got hurt and he set for a couple of matches, and last year the same thing happened.

He did well in both situations.

We all knew that he would do well when he got on the court.”

While Fifer might look like one of the happiest players in the gym, he also is very competitive.

Against Loyola on April 1, he won two jousting battles at the net with his 6-6 Rambler opponent. Even though he

might be all smiles, he showed he shouldn’t be taken lightly because he wants his team to keep winning.

The Flyers have the opportunity to do so against Grand Canyon in the Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association quarterfinals at 7 p.m. Saturday at Neil Carey Arena.

“My first year as a starter was what I expected,” Fifer said. “I knew that Lewis was where I wanted to play, and I knew that I could play at this level and be successful. It’s been a perfect first year as a starter. I hope we end it perfectly, but every game counts and that the only one on my mind right now is Saturday’s MIVA quarterfinal.”

CHICAGO – Jeff Samardzija wound up in the win column for the first time with the White Sox, helped by a couple of big swings Jose Abreu took against Corey Kluber.

Samardzija threw six shutout innings Wednesday as the Sox trounced the reigning AL Cy Young Award winner and the Cleveland Indians, 6-0.

Samardzija (1-1) had been winless in his first three starts for the Sox. The 30-year-old righty from nearby Merrillville, Indiana, allowed six hits, walked two and struck out three.

Abreu homered for the

second straight day. He hit a solo shot in the first inning and added a two-run double in the seventh to chase Kluber (0-2).

Kluber gave up a career-high 13 hits and six earned runs in his fourth start of the year.

Polanco, Worley help Pirates hold off Cubs

PITTSBURGH – Gregory Polanco hit his first home run of the season and Vance Worley got through 52⁄3 shaky innings for his second straight win as the Pittsburgh Pirates held off the Cubs, 4-3, on Wednesday night.

Polanco’s leadoff home run in the bottom of the fifth inning off Jason Hammel increased

the Pirates’ lead to 4-1. It came after Polanco made a fine running catch of a fly ball hit by rookie star Kris Bryant with the bases loaded to end the top of the inning.

Polanco also doubled as he finished with two hits.

Worley (2-1) allowed an unearned run on six hits and five walks. He also struck five in a 106-pitch outing. Tony Watson got the final six outs for his first save of the season and fifth of his five-year career.

Hammel (1-1) gave up four runs – three earned – and six hits in five innings with five walks and no strikeouts.

NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE PLAYOFF: BLACKHAWKS 3, PREDATORS 2 (3 OT)

Seabrook lifts Hawks in 3rd OT The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – They played for 101 grueling minutes, beginning Tuesday night and running into early Wednesday morning.

The Blackhawks were looking for control of the first-round series. The Nashville Predators were searching for a split of their first four playoff games.

Enter Brent Seabrook, a physical defenseman with a penchant for big postseason goals.

Seabrook scored on a booming slap shot 1 minute into the third overtime, and the Blackhawks beat the

Predators, 3-2, in the longest game of this year’s NHL playoffs so far.

“Long game – it was a late night,” a smiling Seabrook said. “It’s nice to end that one.”

Seabrook’s long drive off a pass from Patrick Kane beat a screened Pekka Rinne on the 100th shot of the longest game in Nashville history. Rookie Scott Darling made 50 saves for the Hawks.

“It was awesome,” Darling said.

Brandon Saad and Antoine Vermette also scored for the Hawks, who grabbed a 3-1 series lead and can close out the Predators with a win

Thursday night in Nashville.

Colin Wilson and James Neal scored for Nashville, which carried a 2-1 lead into the third period. Rinne finished with 45 stops.

“Our guys are a resilient group,” Predators coach Peter Laviolette said. “They will not cave. They will not go away quietly. They’ll be ready to play Game 5, I promise you.”

The first overtime featured a memorable duel between Rinne, who found some of the magic he had during Nashville’s strong start to the season, and Darling, who was making his second career postseason start.

Slammers will try again vs. Bandits SUBMITTED REPORT JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers and the Chicago Bandits of National Pro Fastpitch will play in a “Battle of The Sexes” fastpitch softball game at 7:05 p.m. July 20 at Silver Cross Field.

A spot this time will be auctioned later.

The Bandits have proven consistently to be one of the best teams National Pro Fastpitch has to offer. They are headlined by pitcher Monica Abbott, who holds many collegiate records and has pitched for Team USA in addition to pitching for the Bandits since 2011. Slugging outfielders Brittany Cervantes and Tammy Williams lead the Bandits’ offense.

‘A great way to glorify God’

Joliet Catholic youth choir raising funds for December trip to sing in Rome

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – David Halbur said he and his friends quip that they are “the cool kids” – not because they are trendsetters but because they sing in a Catholic youth choir.

“We’re doing something substantial,” said Halbur, 17, of Joliet. “It’s a great way to glorify God.” On Sunday at the Cathedral of St. Raymond in Joliet, all age levels – kindergarten through high school – of the Cathedral Children’s Choir will perform a concert to raise money for 33 members traveling to Rome from Dec. 26 to Jan. 2 for the 40th International Congress of Pueri Cantores.

Joining the 100 youth choristers Sunday will be about 20 adult members of the Cathedral’s music program, said Claire Halbur, associate director for the children’s choirs and David’s oldest sister.

The choristers will participate in a music festival that is part of Pueri Cantores, the Catholic Church’s official student choral organization.

The Cathedral Youth Choir is a member.

The culminating event will be singing Mass at the Vatican, Claire Halbur said.

This is not the first time some of the choir members have participated in a larger Pueri Cantores event.

In 2013, when Claire Halbur directed the Joliet-based Cherubim Catholic Children’s Choir, those choristers participated in a variety of Independence Day events in Washington, D.C. They concluded that event by singing Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, as part of the 38th International Congress of Pueri Cantores.

Claire Halbur said she traveled to Rome once with her family and called that trip

through the music they sing and that they provide in the liturgy.”

Swanson selects various music for the choristers, from Gregorian chant to music recently composed, he said.

Katie Fobert of Channahon was surprised her daughter, Brighid Fobert, 15, would like the music, since it’s not what typical high school students sing.

Benefits to students

But then, Fobert added, the choir has provided enjoyment for Brighid on many levels, including friendships with the other choristers and the satisfaction of giving to others in an artistic way.

“I enjoy it because I get to listen to it,” Fobert said. “I find it amazing how beautiful the kids sound.”

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

First the shape, then the play

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Marilyn Monroe said, “The working men, I’ll go by and they’ll whistle. At first they whistle because they think, ‘Oh, it’s a girl. She’s got blond hair and she’s not out of shape,’ and then they say, ‘Gosh, it’s Marilyn Monroe!’”

A bridge player who is trying to defeat a contract will do well to work out declarer’s hand shape. Then with luck he will say to himself, “Gosh, I see the lethal play.”

In today’s deal, East has to find the deadly defense. South is in three no-trump. West leads the club two.

Given the auction, what should East do?

East should start to count declarer’s hand during the bidding. From South’s two-heart rebid, a reverse showing at least a good 17 points, East knows that South has four hearts and at least five diamonds.

From West’s opening lead, showing exactly a four-card suit, East learns that South also has three clubs.

This means South surely has 1-4-5-3 distribution.

This ought to point to the right answer. East should win the first trick with his club ace and shift to the spade king. He leads the king just in case declarer has the singleton queen. Since East has diamonds under control, the defenders should win five tricks before South collects nine.

With the given layout, that’s exactly how the deal pans out. Declarer ducks a couple of spades, wins with dummy’s ace on the third round, and tries to run the diamonds. When they don’t break, he has to dislodge the club king to get out for down one.

Finally, note that even if West has the club king-jack, that suit can wait.

I’ve put an illustration of this exercise on my website, www.askdoctork.com. It’s also a good idea to stretch your legs and upper body in addition to your feet.

After stretching, hit the road, starting out slowly if it’s the first time you’ve exercised in a while. And if it is the first time in a while, aim for 20 minutes three times a week, walking at a comfortable pace.

Pick up the pace, time, distance and frequency gradually.

Here are some other tips to protect your feet: • Make sure your shoes provide enough support but allow your feet to “breathe.”

• Walk with your head up and your back straight. I hate to sound like your mother or kindergarten teacher, but posture really is important when walking. If your posture is not good, your weight is distributed abnormally. Pressure is put on your leg joints, and your leg and low back muscles may be strained.

• Start on level ground; work up to hills later.

• Cool down after walking. You can do so with stretching exercises or, if you’ve been walking briskly, by walking at a slower pace.

We’re fortunate something so easy, natural and inexpensive as walking can improve our health. With a little attention to doing it right, you can get all the benefits without any complications.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

M Y S H A R O N A

Dear Dr. K: I’d like to start walking more for exercise. Is there a correct way to walk in order to reduce the risk of injury?

Dear Reader: Walking comes so naturally to most of us we may not even give a second thought to proper walking technique. But bad walking habits can lead to a host of problems.

What could be more natural than walking?

We’ve been doing it since we were toddlers. It is natural, but a complex series of things happens when we walk. First, your heel touches the ground, absorbing the impact of your weight.

As the rest of your foot reaches the ground, your weight shifts forward to the ball of your foot and your toes.

Meanwhile, your arch partially flattens and the plantar fascia – the ligament-like structure that connects the heel to the ball of the foot – is stretched.

Then your weight shifts again as you begin to rise on your toes and the ball of your foot, with the Achilles tendon lifting your ankle. Your body is propelled over that foot, with the weight passing onto the other foot.

Exercising your feet on a regular basis improves your overall foot health and may also reduce your risk for injury. The best overall foot exercise? Walking.

Before walking, take some time to stretch the muscles on the bottom of your feet: • Stand with feet together.

• Step back with your left leg so your heel is raised and your toes press against the ground.

You should feel the muscles on the bottom of your feet pull gently.

• Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.

• Repeat with your right foot.

Dear Abby: My son, “Rick,” and daughter-inlaw, “Amy,” seem to really dislike me. I try to be kind and not pry, but they live with me and it can make for a full house. They have had job difficulties and work injuries that brought them back to my home. Her parents don’t care for my son, so living there was not an option.

Amy does not help at all with the housework. Rick does most of it. They also have a wonderful 21-monthold boy. A second baby is on the way. They have lived with me for four years now.

Abby, Amy shows no respect for my home or for me. I mostly keep quiet so as to not push away my only son. I want to be part of my grandson’s life.

Please advise me on handling this matter. – Under-

valued Out West Dear Undervalued: By

Real Life Adventures

allowing your son and daughter-in-law to live with you for such an extended period of time, you have fostered their dependence on you. That may be why your daughter-in-law is resentful rather than grateful for your generosity in giving them a roof over their heads.

That they would conceive a second child under these circumstances – without jobs and no place of their own – tells me they are immature and irresponsible. Give them a date to be out – say one month – and stick to it. If they want to know why, tell them the truth.

You should not have to live in a house with a daughter-in-law who treats you like the enemy because it is not healthy for any of you.

If you are afraid the only

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips way to have a relationship with your grandchildren is to tolerate being used, I think you are mistaken.

As long as you can provide material assistance to these two, they’ll keep you around.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have been married for almost 31 years. We have had a good marriage, but for the last couple of years, my husband has told me I snore when we go to sleep at night.

He is a very light sleeper, and understandably, it wakes him and then he wakes me to make me stop.

This goes on all night long.

Needless to say, neither of us is happy in the morning. We have started sleeping in separate rooms.

The issue I am having now is, my husband will be retiring in a few months and he wants us to do a lot of traveling, mainly cruising. I’m not sure how this will work with our new sleeping arrangement. –

Sleepy In Alabama Dear Sleepy: Have you

discussed your snoring with your physician?

Snoring can be a symptom of a medical problem that’s fixable. When your husband first told you about it, you should have mentioned it to your doctor. Ear plugs might help your husband, but if there is a medical solution for your snoring, it would make your problem moot.
