Spending reports come in from sheriff’s primary races

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com The Will County Sheriff’s badge is not cheap.

Four of the Democratic and Republican candidates spent more than $25,000 in the three months leading up to the March primaries, according to campaign reports submitted last week to the State Board of Elections.

Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas, who edged out retired Deputy Chief Nick Ficarello in the Republican primary by less than 1 percent of the vote, started the year with a $15,633 war chest and added $12,240 in contributions, for a total of $27,833.

But Kaupas enters the general election with about $1,600 after spending $26,259 – $18,797 of that on campaign mailings and $3,815 on yard signs.

JOLIET – A judge wants to know why a drug dealer who’s already served three prison terms deserves a light sentence.

Ervin N. Pam, 38, appeared Thursday before Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes after pleading guilty to delivery of drugs.

Pam accepted a plea deal from the Will County State’s Attorney’s office of six years in prison in exchange for other drug charges being dropped,

“Find me a reason this man should get the minimum sentence. I don’t see it yet,” Alessio-Policandriotes told defense attorney Robert Lewin before scheduling another sentencing hearing. The sentencing range is six to 30 years.

Pam was arrested in July 2013 after police found heroin, cocaine, money and digital

Pam apologized to the court, his family and church congregation for “the bad decisions” he made.

“I humbly do apologize and [hope] God will help me become a productive member of society and a better father,” Pam said.

Winner of Joliet’s Big Tree contest shows what Arbor Day is all about

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com

• Friday, April 25, 2014

OLIET – The winner of the city’s 2014 Big Tree Contest also is a survivor, one of the few American elms to live through the epidemic that all but wiped out the species here in the 1960s.

The winner, an 81-foot-tall specimen, stands in the side yard of Catherine Comfort’s home at 401 Catherine St. in Joliet.

“I’d have to give my husband, Frank, credit,” Comfort said. “He took very good care of that tree.”

Friday is Arbor Day, a day on which Americans are asked to reflect on the value of trees in their lives. The elm still standing in the Comforts’ yard is an example of how one family’s care and attention preserved a tree otherwise largely gone from the American landscape.

The Comforts’ tree was one of only six American elms entered in the contest, according to Jim Teiber, Joliet’s arborist.

In the past, the city’s big tree contests have featured more numerous species, such as burr oaks, sycamores, sugar maples and silver maples. But the 2014 contest focused on the American elm, the huge, vase-shaped trees whose vast canopies once covered a large portion of the city.

“We have a few left out there that I pay attention to, but there’s not a whole lot of them left in our parkways,” Teiber said.

American elms were common in Joliet when Comfort was younger.

“We moved to the house in 1958, and it was just a tiny tree then,” Comfort said.

Elms covered the parkways along Glenwood Avenue and Catherine Street back then, she said. But most died during the late 1960s, when the Dutch elm disease ravaged trees across the Midwest.

“We went to visit my mother and father one weekend, and by the time we got back the city had removed all the elm trees [on the parkway],”

Rita Renwick (left) and Jim Teiber discuss how to measure the crown of an elm tree Monday on the 400 block of Catherine Street in Joliet.

BELOW: Students at Wesmere Elementary School in Plainfield spread mulch around a newly planted ginkgo tree during an Arbor Day celebration.

By the numbers Statistics on the winner of the 2014 City of Joliet’s Big American Elm Tree Contest: • Height: 81 feet, with an average crown of 73 feet • Circumference: 154 inches, or 12 feet, 10 inches • Points: 253 (points are a method of ranking big trees) • Age: 70 to 80 years (estimated) • Location: 401 Catherine St. • Number of contest entries: 6 Comfort said. “But this one was in our side yard, and it was saved.”

The fungal disease, spread by elm bark beetles, will still kill any American elm left untreated, Teiber said.

“You can keep them alive as long as you treat them, but you have to stay committed,” Teiber said. “If you treat the fungus before it gets started, you have a good chance of

saving the tree.”

The Comforts were able to save their tree by having it treated every two or three years. In recent years, Comfort said she wondered if it was worth continuing the $600 treatments.

“I said to my sons ‘I don’t know if I should keep doing it,’” Comfort said. “But they said ‘Oh my God, mother, dad loved that tree. Do it.’”

This is the eighth time the city has held the contest, in conjunction with Arbor Day. But while Arbor Day focuses on the planting of new trees, the Big Tree Contest highlights adult trees.

“We want people to realize that these large, established trees are impossible to replace,” said Rita Renwick, conservation chair for the Will

County chapter of the Illinois Audubon Society. “People need to value trees in the urban forest.”

Renwick recalled when American elms covered many of the streets around her home in Joliet. After they died out, many were eventually replaced by ash trees, which are now succumbing to the emerald ash borer. The city estimates it has lost about 10,000 ash trees so far.

“Trees add to our quality of life by giving us shade, creating oxygen, providing a home for birds and squirrels, and creating ever-changing leaf colors,” Renwick noted. “People don’t always think about that until the big tree is gone.”

Whether it was small or large, the Comforts always have appreciated their American elm.

“I was always thankful it was there,” Comfort said. “I really enjoy it.”

LOCAL NEWS Lower bail denied in sex case

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – An alleged pimp’s request for bail reduction was denied Thursday by a judge.

Assistant Public Defender Philip Villasenor had asked for Andre C. Dotson’s bond to be reduced from $50,000 to $18,000 and gave a brief summary of Dotson’s dependents and employment to Judge Edward Burmila.

Andre C. Assistant Dotson, W i ll County 24, of Elgin State’s Attorney Christine Vukmir had barely begun arguing against the reduction by summarizing Dotson’s Feb. 21 arrest when Burmila asked a question.

“Isn’t one of the people involved a minor? ... The motion is denied,” Burmila said, and moved on to another case.

Dotson, 24, of the 700 block of Shady Oaks Court in Elgin, and Jarrail M. Ford-Gresham, 24, of the 400 block of Dorchester Court in Roselle, were arrested by agents of the Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team at a Romeoville hotel.

The officers had been investigating ads placed to arrange sexual encounters on the backpage.com website when they took four women into custody after receiving offers of sex for money, police said. As the women, including a 17-year-old girl, were being questioned, Dotson and Ford-Gresham walked into the hotel.

The women have been cooperating with police and are not facing charges, according to reports.

Ford-Gresham is also being held in the Will County jail on $100,000 bond.

Baby critically hurt; man charged Court reports: Child has liver, spleen injuries

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man is being held on $5 million bond after police say he beat his girlfriend’s 13-month-old daughter.

Lt. Brian Dupuis said officers were called Tuesday afternoon to Silver Cross Hospital, where the child had been taken by her mother

and mother’s cousin.

A prosecutor told Judge Roger Rickmon at the bond hearing on Thursday that Robert M. Walker, 27, had been alone with the girl at the mother’s house from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the day she was beaten.

Walker brought the girl to the mother’s cousin’s house, where she appeared to be injured and vomited. According to reports, the girl was admitted to Silver Cross in critical condition with a lacerated spleen, lacerated liver, swelling on her head and other injuries.

She was sent to Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn and re-

Robert M. Walker, 27, of Joliet was charged with aggravated battery of a child. mained in critical condition Thursday.

While police said the child is expected to survive, the prosecutor told Rickmon the liver laceration was life-threatening.

Walker was questioned by detectives and first said he had accidentally dropped the girl while they were playing.

He later said “he was frustrated, may have blacked

out and thrown her into the television set,” according to court reports.

Walker held his face in his hands and rocked back and forth at the county jail’s video table as Rickmon was told about the child’s injuries.

Walker collapsed in his chair when Rickmon approved the $5 million bond the state requested.

Walker is currently serving an 18-month probation sentence from a 2012 domestic battery case in DeKalb County.

He also has driving violations on his record.

He is next scheduled to appear in court May 15.

Downtown cleanup attracting interest

Audubon Society spring gathering begins Friday

50 signed up so far for May 9 event

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet City Center Partnership will host its annual Downtown Cleanup Day on May 9.

About 50 people already have signed up for the event, said Pam Owens, executive director of the partnership.

Several members of the Joliet Slammers baseball team also will participate in the event, Owens said.

Volunteers are scheduled to clean the downtown area from 2 to 4 p.m.

Following the cleanup, volunteers will have the opportunity to enjoy free appetizers and one free drink at McBrody’s Bar & Grill, 73 W. Jefferson St., Owens said.

Each cleanup volunteer also will receive a free ticket to the Joliet Slammers game

at 7 p.m. that evening.

This year’s cleanup looks to be one of the largest ever, said Cam Barnett, an administrative assistant at the Joliet City Center Partnership.

“We really haven’t had this kind of response before,” Barnett said. “I think downtown cleanliness and maintenance is a big issue, and people are starting to care more about the downtown.”

Cleanup efforts will focus mostly on picking up trash from the alleyways and sidewalks, Barnett said. The partnership will provide gloves and garbage bags to participants.

“We go all the way from Ruby to Jefferson to the Slammers stadium, that whole area,” Barnett said.

The city will sweep the streets during the event.

Downtown businesses are being encouraged to spruce up their establishments that day, as well, Barnett said.

JOLIET – Who wants peanuts and Cracker Jack at the old ball game when you can have Parmesan garlic fries and a Ditka polish?

The 2014 menus for the Joliet Slammers will offer everything from Italian beef and pulled pork to homemade pizzas and Vienna Beef hot dogs, team officials told the Joliet Baseball Committee on Thursday.

“I guarantee our ballpark will be the No. 1 restaurant opening in Joliet in 2014,” said Nick Semaca, one of the team’s owners. “You guys will love it, bottom line.”

The team has invested about $75,000 to update its kitchens and serving areas, Semaca said.

Tom Fremarek, the Slammers director of food and beverage, said the team has decentralized its kitchens and put in new registers in an effort to get food to the fans faster and cut back on time spent waiting in lines.

The new registers, for instance, can process a credit card in 3 seconds, compared to the 45 seconds it took last year, Fremarek said.

The Slammers have hired 63 employees just in the food and beverage departments, including two Joliet Junior College culinary instructors.

Yard and Crossroads, which will offer traditional stadium fare; the Lodge, offering barbecued meats; the Joint, with Italian fare; a beer garden with an all-you-can-eat menu; and grills in left field where picnickers can purchase hamburgers and hot dogs.

The concourse-level Sweet Spot will offer a variety of desserts, “pretty much everything your mother told you not to eat,” Fremarek said.

Food prices will be at the same levels as 2013, Fremarek said, with the exception of pizzas, which at $19 to $22 will be about 50 percent cheaper, and hot dogs, which will increase from $2 to $3.

“Are we coming to eat, or watch a baseball team?” joked Councilman Terry Morris.

The Slammers will offer

LAINFIELD – Drivers on Route 30 will notice a brand new sign has replaced the old Pioneer Lanes fixture at Getson Avenue.

The new “Plainfield Lanes” sign was installed Tuesday and is part of a revamped initiative to bring the bowling alley back to the community after the previous owners were forced out by foreclosure.

Jon Dow, the new owner of the renamed Plainfield Lanes, said he is committed to making the bowling alley a community-based recreational destination.

“The main goal is for this to become a part of the community,” Dow said.

Dow, a Georgia-based bowling enthusiast and alley manager, purchased the struggling bowling alley March 31 after it was foreclosed by a bank.

The alley closed March 23 but has been fully operational again since April 8.

“The community has been extremely supportive,” Dow said. “My major focus has been opening and getting fully functional. This is my first ownership opportunity so I’m looking to stay for a long period of time and be a part of the community.”

The new logo is etched in various parts of the alley and new gaming machines have been installed in the arcade area near the main entrance.

But Dow said there is

Jon Dow is the new owner of the renamed Plainfield Lanes. He said he is committed to making the bowling alley a community-based recreational destination.

“My major focus has been opening and getting fully functional. This is my first ownership opportunity so I’m looking to stay for a long period of time and be a part of the community.”

Jon Dow Owner of the Plainfield Lanes bowling alley much more work to be done, including fixing the deep potholes in the private road leading to the parking lot. He also wants to bring in flatscreen monitors and other advanced equipment.

The indoor walls will be repainted as part of the longterm plan, along with more aggressive renovations that could quickly add up to $1 million.

for the alley is to use the empty lot west of the alley, which is part of the property Dow purchased.

“We’re not going to do anything with it for another year,” Dow said, but indicated he would like to install mini golf or some other amusement attraction in the future. “We’ll find a way to utilize the land in the meantime.”

Mechanic John Demetra-

lis, who has been working at the alley for about 15 years and has fixed bowling alley machines for three separate owners, said he was happy with the direction Dow is taking.

“He’s a nice person to deal with,” Demetralis said.

“He’s got determination and you can see he really loves bowling.”

Dow was on several bowling teams when was he growing up, and he wants Plainfield to benefit from the alley. He renamed the alley to reflect his vision for it becoming a local destination.

“The people are what support this,” Dow said. “This is an outlet where people can have fun. It’s rewarding to me when I see them having a good time bowling.”

Grundy County trimming budgets Departments look to cut spending to prepare for possible drop in sales tax revenue

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Fewer spare computers, less education programming, furlough days and a smaller rainy-day fund.

These are a few of the ways Grundy County is trimming $440,000 from its general operating budget.

“There were several departments that provided me with reductions they could make to their budgets for this year which would show us immediate savings,” Grundy County Administrator Heidi Miller said Thursday.

About two months ago, Miller asked all departments to streamline their budgets by making cuts wherever possible without laying off any employees.

The cuts will be implemented as needed by the Grundy County Finance Committee and full board.

“What I was trying to achieve is showing the fi-

nance committee and Grundy County Board that there are options out there for them,” Miller said. “This widens their paintbrush of possibilities.”

The urgency behind the budget reduction stems from the lingering point-of-sale issues in Channahon and Morris.

The two municipalities – and several others throughout the state – are being sued by the Regional Transportation Authority for using taxing strategies that enticed companies to open small purchasing offices within Grundy County to take advantage of the county’s low sales-tax rate.

The RTA claims the sales tax revenue generated at these remote purchasing offices should go to Cook County, which it believes houses a more significant portion of the companies in question.

Grundy County’s operating budget could shrink by 10 percent, or $1.8 million, if

Speedway will open 44th season Friday SHAW MEDIA MORRIS – Stock car racing action in four divisions kicks off Friday with a 44-lap main event for the Illinois Truck & Equipment Super Late models.

The area’s only one-thirdmile paved oval will celebrate 44 years at the Morris fairgrounds speed plant facility.

The Speedway is located at 8890 N. Route 47, at the Grundy County Fairgrounds. The McMahon Transport Group Mid American Sportsman, Street Stocks and Four Cylinder divisions will highlight the opening night’s extravaganza.

The 2014 schedule includes special events such as the popular Grundy Old-Timer’s Reunion featuring the Illinois Vintage Stock Car Series, fan favorites ARCA Midwest

Also on the calendar is the Stock Car Full Program plus Lockport/New Lenox two-forone admission May 2; Stock Car Full Program plus Twin Four Cylinder Mains/Spectator Drags on May 9; and Stock Car racing every Friday through Labor Day. It is $12 for adults, $10 for seniors, and free for children 11 and younger.

sales tax revenues generated in Channahon and Morris are lost, Miller said.

So far in 2014, the county has received only two supplemental sales tax checks – for the months of December and January – from Channahon, totaling about $274,000.

“We are definitely looking at point-of-sale revenue being pretty much gone for 10 months out of this fiscal year.

We need to be prepared,” Miller said.

The potential budget reductions will affect nearly every department. The technology department can reduce its spending by nearly $50,000 by eliminating some of its spare computer purchases, among other things, technology supervisor Dan Peterson said Thursday.

“We just went through the budget line by line and took a certain amount from each line item,” Peterson said. “[The cuts] won’t really affect our services in any major way.”

Miller said the land use department could trim $57,000 by not hiring a new land use director – a position formerly held by Miller – and reducing some of the classroom education programming.

“We haven’t been in the classroom in a while, quite frankly, and the schools have a lot of recycling programs in their curriculums anyway,” Miller said.

Aside from the cuts, the county also is exploring new ways to raise revenue, which includes increasing user fees in the sheriff’s office, clerk and recorder’s office and health department.

A recently-completed fee study projected a maximum potential revenue of about $305,000 annually by increasing fees in those departments.

Much discussion was held during the last finance committee meeting about the implementation of a public safety tax, which would increase the sales-tax rate from 6.25 to

Illinois Concealed Carry Permit

6.75 percent.

The committee agreed the tax would be a “last resort” and would have to pass through a referendum on the November ballot, finance committee chairman John Galloway said Wednesday.

Instead of the tax, many members favored dipping into the county’s existing cash reserves, which total more than $8 million.

“You don’t really want to dip into your savings,” Grundy County Board Chairman Ron Severson said Thursday.

“But I’d rather use that money we have saved up over the years than gather more money from the taxpayers.”

The county also is set to receive nearly $300,000 in settlement payments and save on legal fees after several property tax lawsuits recently were resolved.

“Comparing where we are right now with reserves, we’re actually in very, very good fiscal shape,” Miller said.

Gov. Pat Quinn speaks April 11 at the annual meeting of the Illinois Education Association in Chicago.

Ill. jobs screened for political ties after hires made

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – When questions arose about political hiring at the Illinois Department of Transportation, Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration evaluated several jobs that already had been filled to ensure they were among the few positions where an applicant’s political loyalty and connections could be considered.

But a 1990 U.S. Supreme Court ruling over government hiring in Illinois requires that question be answered before a job offer is even extended.

Michael Shakman, who spearheaded a landmark 1972 decree against political hiring, sued the Democratic governor this week in federal court.

He is asking for a monitor to investigate hiring at the Transportation Department after a report last year by the Better Government Association that for nearly 10 years, IDOT evaded both his Shakman Decree and the high court ruling known as Rutan in hiring people based on politics and later transferring them into positions protected from easy dismissal.

The claims – and the Quinn administration’s response to it – are raising questions about how closely

the current administration has followed those rules.

Quinn has said he has no tolerance for breaking the rules and that he ordered an audit of the jobs after learning of the discrepancies.

The BGA report found as many as 200 IDOT “staff assistant” positions filled in violation of Rutan under Quinn and his predecessor, Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

After Shakman’s motion was filed in federal court on Tuesday, IDOT spokesman Guy Tridgell said the 61 jobs currently labeled as staff assistants were submitted for evaluation to the state’s personnel agency, the Department of Central Management Services, to determine whether they should be covered by Rutan. The agency responded that 50 of them should be, and they will be treated as such in the future.

After-the-fact appraisal is not how Rutan is supposed to work, said Carl Draper, a Springfield lawyer who has been involved in several high-profile government hiring cases.

“The Rutan settlement required all Rutan exemptions be kept on a list and publicly available ... so you knew whether you were applying for a job that would or would not have protections against political considerations,” Draper said.

STATE Northwestern players to cast union votes dorsed a dramatic proposal to give its biggest and most powerful member schools the autonomy to make decisions for its athletes, including more robust funding of scholarships, the ability to address health concerns and other key areas. Union supporters say they are seeking guaranteed coverage of sports-related medical expenses for current and former players.

There have been no raucous rallies or demonstrations on the 19,000-student campus just north of Chicago, just official notices about the vote posted near the Wildcats’ locker room. But there has been plenty of lobbying in the form private meetings, calls and emails, and everyone from coach Pat Fitzgerald to NCAA President Mark Emmert has called for a “no” vote.

Balloting results may take a while to be released

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press EVANSTON – Northwestern University’s football players will cast ballots Friday on whether to form the nation’s first union for college athletes – a potentially landmark vote that will be kept sealed for months and possibly years.

The National Labor Relations Board said Thursday it will hear an appeal by Northwestern challenging the decision from a regional NLRB director who ruled the players are university employees and thus have the right to unionize. The board said the ballots

If the case lands in court, it could be far longer

STATE BRIEFS Prison jobs to involve tough hiring process

MARION – Gov. Pat Quinn says he supports a plan to let voters decide if they should limit the terms of state constitutional officers.

Republican leaders from the state House and Senate have proposed an amendment to the state’s Constitution that would limit the officers to two, fouryear terms. To get the measure on the ballot, it needs a threefifths vote in the Legislature.

The state’s six constitutional officers include the governor, treasurer and comptroller.

In a Thursday statement, Quinn says he’s backed term limits for years. However, when asked about the issue last year, Quinn wouldn’t commit to a term limit for himself.

He’s seeking a second full term in November.

His Republican gubernatorial challenger, Bruce Rauner, is pushing for a term-limit measure for lawmakers.

FULTON – The federal Bureau of Prisons has yet to begin large-scale hiring for jobs at the Thomson Correctional Center in northwestern Illinois, but when it does, applicants will face an intensive hiring process.

Bureau of prisons officials spoke about the process Wednesday at a forum sponsored by the Fulton Chamber of Commerce.

Illinois built the prison in 2001, but budget troubles kept it from fully opening. The federal government bought it for $165 million in 2012, and it’s expected to employ about 1,000 people.

Elizabeth Pottios of the bureau told the audience that salaries for entry level correctional officers start at about $32,000.

Applicants must pass a physical exam, and background checks could include interviews of neighbors.

Gov. backs term limits for constitutional officers

The 76 scholarship football players eligible to cast ballots know the spotlight is on them, said Ramogi Huma, president of the College Athletes Players Association, which would represent the players at the bargaining table if the prounion side prevails.

Some of the pressure they feel stems from dire Northwestern claims about the consequences of unionization, he said.

“They’re looking at anything and everything to invoke fear in the players,” said Huma, a former UCLA linebacker and longtime critic of the NCAA. “We feel like some of the tactics are scare tactics.”

Northwestern, which is required by law to let the vote proceed, denies applying undue pressure on players to vote “no.”

Also accused of killing 2 Zion girls The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – From Chicago to Afghanistan, Dr. Jerry Umanos dedicated his service to poor children.

The pediatrician was among three Americans killed when an Afghan security guard opened fire Thursday at a Kabul hospital. He was volunteering in Afghanistan to train young doctors, periodically returning to Chicago to work in a Christian clinic on the southwest side.

Umanos Jerry “was always Umanos working to help inner-city kids and trying to help out any needy, poor kids anywhere,” said Jeff Schuitema, Umanos’ brother-in-law.

The fatal shootings at Cure International Hospital in western Kabul were the latest in a string of deadly attacks on foreign civilians in the Afghan capital this year.

In an interview inside her Chicago home, Jan Schuitema, Umanos’ wife, said he always wanted to work with children, and became fascinated with Afghanistan when visiting through a Christian clinic in 2006.

“What he would really want people who care about this to know is that he really did love Afghanistan and the Afghan people,” said

Mourners walk into the Lawndale Christian Health Center after a news conference Thursday addressing the death of Dr. Jerry Umanos, a pediatrician at the center in Chicago.

Jan Schuitema, a teacher in Chicago who also spent time teaching in Afghanistan.

“This should in no way negatively impact people’s feelings about the country or about the people in the country,” she said. “They are no different than us here.”

The couple moved individually back and forth between the two countries. They knew other people who had been killed in Afghanistan – doctors, nurses and community development workers. Yet they did not live in fear.

“There’s always a concern. This isn’t the first time

we’ve been through this. And there’s always a thought that this could happen,” she said.

“It’s a reality, but it doesn’t, we weren’t afraid. When you know you’ve got God’s backing, the fear is not there.”

In addition to Umanos, “also [killed were] two others who were here to meet him, and they were also American nationals,” said Afghanistan’s Minister of Health Soraya Dalil. “The two visitors were father and son, and a woman who was also in the visiting group was wounded.”

Colleagues in Chicago are heartbroken about the loss of

Umanos, 57, who had worked for more than 25 years at Lawndale Christian Health Center in the city, said Dr. Bruce Rowell, medical director of clinical quality at the facility.

“He was ... for many of us on staff, the pediatrician for our very own children,” Rowell said at a news conference.

“This loss is a great loss for his family, for those of us he worked with as well as for the people of Afghanistan,” Rowell said. “He was a loving and caring physician who served all of his patients with the utmost of respect.”

FDA eases into regulating e-cigarettes The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The federal government’s move to regulate e-cigarettes is a leap into the unknown.

Most everyone agrees a ban on selling them to kids would be a step forward. But health and public policy experts can’t say for certain whether the electronic devices are a good thing or a bad thing overall, whether they help smokers kick the habit or are a gateway to ordinary paper-and-tobacco cigarettes.

The proposed rules, issued

Thursday by the Food and Drug Administration, tread fairly lightly. They would ban sales to anyone under 18, add warning labels and require FDA approval for new products.

Some public health experts say a measured approach is the right one. They think that the devices, which heat a nicotine solution to produce an odorless vapor without the smoke and tar of burning tobacco, can help smokers quit.

“This could be the single biggest opportunity that’s come along in a century to

make the cigarette obsolete,” said David Abrams, executive director of the Schroeder Institute for Tobacco Research and Policy Studies at the American Legacy Foundation.

Still, some wonder whether e-cigarettes keep smokers addicted or hook new users and encourage them to move on to tobacco. Some warn that the regulations could have unintended consequences.

“If the regulations are too heavy-handed, they’ll have the deadly effect of preventing smokers from quitting by

switching to these dramatically less harmful alternatives,” said Jeff Stier, senior fellow at the National Center for Public Policy Research, a conservative think tank in Washington.

Scientists haven’t finished much research on e-cigarettes, and the studies that have been done are inconclusive. The government is pouring millions into research to supplement independent and company studies on the health risks of e-cigarettes – as well as who uses them and why.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – An ex-Marine was sentenced to death Thursday for murdering a fellow service member in 2009, after a federal jury concluded he had been responsible for a series of violent, sexually motivated attacks on women and young girls over the past nine years.

The jury deliberated for less than four hours before sentencing Jorge Torrez, 25, of Zion to death for the murder of Navy Jorge Torrez Petty Officer Amanda Snell, a Las Vegas native, at Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall in Arlington, in a barracks where both lived a few doors down from each other.

On the verdict form, the jury also unanimously concluded that Torrez also killed two young girls – 8-year-old Laura Hobbs and 9-year-old Krystal Tobias – in 2005 in his hometown of Zion, when he was just 16.

After Torrez was found guilty earlier this month of Navy Petty Officer Amanda Snell’s murder, Torrez ordered his lawyers not to put on any defense or question the government’s case during the trial’s sentencing phase.

On Thursday, during closing arguments in the morning and when the verdict was read in the afternoon, Torrez sat impassively in front of the jury in his green jail jumpsuit, forgoing the civilian clothes he has worn all trial.

Torrez will be formally sentenced May 30.

The judge, Liam O’Grady, does not have the option to change the death sentence, unless he finds some sort of legal error.

Keystone XL pipeline part of larger Senate fight

By ADAM BEAM and BILL BARROW The Associated Press

Republicans need to gain a net of six seats to control the Senate for the final two years of President Barack Obama’s term.

The GOP has a friendly landscape to attempt a takeover since Democrats must defend more than a half-dozen seats in states where Obama lost and remains unpopular.

But losing a Republican-held seat like Kentucky would be a major setback, to say nothing of the potential symbolism of ousting McConnell.

Grimes’ announcement puts her alongside several incumbent Democrats and the party’s Senate candidates who have used energy policy to distance themselves from

the White House.

The Keystone XL project has become a major flashpoint alongside the larger debate over carbon emissions, drilling policies and tax breaks for energy companies.

The proposed pipeline would be part of a system carrying tar sands oil from Canada to the Texas Gulf Coast.

FRANKFORT, Ky. – Alison Lundergan Grimes is the latest Democratic Senate candidate to call for building the Keystone XL oil pipeline, but the Kentucky secretary of state’s move doesn’t seem to have cost her support among environmental groups who want to unseat Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell.

It’s evidence that campaign wrangling over Keystone XL is about more than the project itself. It’s also about the battle for control of the Senate in the November midterm elections, with Republicans within striking distance of assuming the majority.

Also on display are long-standing partisan divides between the energy industry, which tends to support Republicans, and environmentalists, who generally support Democrats.

Many oil, gas and coal interests want McConnell to become the agenda-setting majority leader. Green advocacy groups want to keep things as they are, with Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada leading a Democratic majority, in line with environmentalists’ concerns – even if the Democratic caucus includes industry-friendly senators from energy-producing states, from Sen. Mary Landrieu’s Louisiana to Sen. Mark Begich’s Alaska.

That means Grimes can get away with endorsing the Keystone XL pipeline that many environmental activists loathe. On the same day Grimes revealed her support for the pipeline to The Associated Press this week, a national group dedicated to blocking it announced it would spend $500,000 to support her effort to unseat McConnell.

McConnell’s campaign seized on the politics of strange bedfellows.

“One of two things is happening,” spokeswoman Allison Moore said in a written statement. “Either Alison Lundergan Grimes has given these groups assurances that

she’s not giving to Kentuckians, or the partisanship of these groups exceeds their stated environmental goals.”

The pipeline, said CREDO Super PAC President Becky Bond, isn’t the organization’s top priority in the 2014 midterm elections, it’s keeping the Senate in Democratic control.

The Associated Press JERUSALEM – Israel broke off Mideast peace talks and brought the U.S.-brokered process to the brink of collapse Thursday, protesting a reconciliation agreement between the Western-backed Palestinian Authority and the militant group Hamas, the Jewish state’s sworn enemy.

Israel’s Security Cabinet made the decision during a marathon emergency meeting convened to discuss the new Palestinian deal. The rival Palestinian factions Hamas and Fatah announced the reconciliation plan Wednesday, meant to end a seven-year rift.

Israel objects to any partic-

ipation in Palestinian politics

by Hamas, which has killed hundreds of Israelis in suicide bombings and other attacks over the past two decades.

In a statement issued by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, the government said it would not hold negotiations with a government “backed by Hamas.”

“Instead of choosing peace, Abu Mazen formed an alliance with a murderous terrorist organization that calls for the destruction of Israel,” the statement said, referring to a name Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is also known by.

The statement said Israel also would respond to Abbas’ recent decision to join

By GILLIAN WONG and YOUKYUNG LEE The Associated Press JINDO, South Korea – Angry relatives of some of the more than 120 people still missing from the sinking of the ferry Sewol surrounded the fisheries minister and the coast guard chief Thursday, preventing them from leaving the area where families have been waiting for word of their loved ones for more than a week.

It was the latest expression of fury and desperation in a disaster filled with signs that the government did too little to protect passengers. An opposition politician said he has a document showing that the ferry was carrying far more cargo than it should have been.

Relatives of the missing passengers surrounded Oceans and Fisheries Minister Lee Ju-young, coast guard chief Kim Seok-kyun and deputy chief Choi Sang-hwan. The men sat on the ground under a tent where details about the recovered dead – now numbering 175 – are posted.

Some of the family members shouted at the officials, accusing them of lying about the operation, demanding that

the search continue through the night and asking why hundreds of civilian divers have not been allowed to join coast guard and navy personnel in searching for bodies. Some of the relatives cried through the tense scene.

“We are doing our work and we, too, feel the way you do,” Kim said. “We are trying to bring all the equipment that we can.”

About 700 divers are working at the site since the April 16 wreck, said Koh Myungseok, spokesman for the government-wide emergency task force. He said more than 340 volunteer divers have visited.

Responding to complaints that the volunteers have been underutilized, Koh said some have been allow to dive but “left after taking photos or have come out of the water in less than 10 minutes. As a result, we have decided that civilian divers are slowing down the rescue process” and will not be allowed to participate.

The government has said the search is becoming more difficult because divers must now break through cabin walls to find more bodies. Many of the bodies already retrieved were in a larger lounge area.

million in tax and customs money to the Palestinians each month. It has withheld these funds in the past as a punitive measure, money needed to keep Abbas’ self-rule government afloat.

Abbas won assurances in recent Arab League meetings that Arab countries would pay $100 million to the Palestinian Authority if Israel freezes the transfers. However, some of the Arab donor countries have in the past not met their aid commitments.

Saeb Erekat, the chief Palestinian peace negotiator, said Palestinian reconciliation is an internal matter.

“Israel had no right to interfere in this issue,” he said.

He condemned any possible

Israeli sanctions as “piracy,” saying the tax revenues are Palestinian money.

For U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the Israeli decision was the latest – and perhaps final – blow to the peace efforts he has led for the past nine months.

With great expectations, Kerry persuaded the sides to resume peace talks last July after a nearly five-year break.

Initially, he hoped to forge a comprehensive peace deal ending decades of conflict.

But after months of fruitless efforts, Kerry scaled back his goals and said he would seek a preliminary “framework” agreement by April, with the goal of extending talks to hammer out the final details.

Senate’s newest members speak out on foreign policy

By DONNA CASSATA The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Fresh voices in the U.S. Senate are speaking loudly on foreign policy, a new generation of Republicans and Democrats who reflect a war-weary nation cautious about America’s next moves.

Sens. Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire and Rand Paul of Kentucky stand on either side of the growing divide in the GOP, pitting those who favor more robust U.S. engagement overseas against an isolationist’s deficit-driven concerns

about the cost of foreign entanglements. Ayotte, a self-described Ronald Reagan Republican, is moving ahead with a new batch of sanctions against Russia in retribution for the annexation of Crimea and to send a clear signal to Moscow about further aggression.

“We’re essentially dealing with a former KGB colonel,” Ayotte said of Russian President Vladimir Putin in a recent interview. “He will only respect strength and doesn’t respect accommodation.”

Paul, for his part, voted against providing $1 billion in loan guarantees to cash-

poor Ukraine and punishing Russia for its brazen moves last month. He raised concerns that the aid would have “the perverse impact of using American tax dollars to reward Russia.” Paul repeatedly has challenged fellow Republicans and the Obama administration over National Security Agency surveillance, the use of drones and spending on foreign aid and wars.

Committee leaders typically get the attention and coveted spots on the Sunday morning talk shows, the only-in-Washington standard that says a senator has arrived.

Even with the tough stance, Netanyahu left the door open to salvaging negotiations, which are set to expire next Tuesday.

Ukraine moves against insurgents in the east

By YURAS KARMANAU The Associated Press SLOVYANSK, Ukraine – Russia announced new military exercises Thursday involving ground and air forces near its border with Ukraine, swiftly responding to a Ukrainian operation to drive pro-Russia insurgents out of occupied buildings in the country’s tumultuous east.

The Ukrainian move, which killed at least two people, brought new threats from Russian President Vladimir Putin, who denounced it as a “punitive operation.”

“If the Kiev government is using the army against its own people, this is clearly a grave crime,” Putin said.

His statement and the announcement of new military maneuvers by Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu sharpened anxiety over the prospect of a Russian incursion into Ukraine. Russia’s foreign minister warned a day earlier that any attack on Russian citizens or interests in eastern Ukraine would bring a strong response.

The Russian exercises were quickly denounced by U.S. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel, who called them “dangerously destabilizing” and “very provocative.” If such activities escalate, they will make it more difficult to find

a diplomatic solution to the situation in Ukraine, Hagel said, speaking in Mexico City.

The crisis “could quickly spin out of control,” U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon warned.

Animosity between Moscow and Kiev has been high since the ouster of Russia-friendly president Viktor Yanukovych in February in the wake of months of protests. Russia contends the government that took over consists of nationalists who aim to suppress the large Russian-speaking population in Ukraine’s east.

In March, Russia annexed the Crimean Peninsula after its residents voted to split off from Ukraine. Russian troops backed up local militias that blocked off Ukrainian military bases in the run-up to the referendum.

Ukraine’s acting president accused Russia of backing the separatists in the east and demanded that Moscow stop its intimidation campaign, and leave his country alone.

Oleksandr Turchynov said in an address to the nation Thursday that Russia was “coordinating and openly supporting terrorist killers” in eastern Ukraine, where government buildings in at least 10 cities have been seized by pro-Russia gunmen.

South Korea ferry disaster may cloud Obama visit

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press TOKYO – When President Barack Obama arrives in South Korea on Friday, he will be thrust anew into the role of consoler in chief in a time of crisis, a responsibility he has become all too accustomed to in the United States.

South Korea is reeling from the ferry disaster that has left more than 300 dead or missing, with the vast majority of the victims students from a high school near the capital of Seoul. The tragedy has consumed South Korean President Park Geun-hye in the lead-up to Obama’s visit and could distract from the security and economic agenda she had been expected to highlight during her meetings with the U.S. president.

Another world issue is shadowing Obama on his

four-nation Asia trip: the crisis in Ukraine. In Tokyo on Thursday, the president said at a news conference that the U.S. has a new round of economic sanctions against Russia “teed up” if the Russians provoke instability in Ukraine.

White House officials said Obama did not plan to change his schedule in South Korea as a result of the disaster. But the president probably will balance his expected statements – warnings against North Korean nuclear provocations and calls to lower tensions in regional territorial disputes – with words of condolence for the ferry victims and the people of South Korea.

Ahead of his trip, Obama said he planned to reaffirm that “our commitment to South Korea is unwavering in good times and in bad.”

The president’s trip will

Throughout his five years as president, Obama has been called upon frequently to offer reassurance following natural disasters and other tragedies at home, including twice just this month. On his way to Asia, Obama met with families of the more than three dozen people who perished in a mudslide in Washington state.

And in mid-April, he spoke at a memorial service for three victims of shootings at Fort Hood, Texas – the second time the president has mourned the loss of life in violence at that military base.

Obama will arrive in South Korea Friday afternoon, local time, from Japan.

ANOTHER VIEW

Show of strength, unity in Boston Monday’s 118th running of the Boston Marathon displayed in full measure the resolve and unity meant by “Boston strong.”

A year after explosions at the finish line killed three people and injured 264 others, an expanded field of more than 35,000 runners included victims and their relatives, first responders, others “personally and profoundly impacted” by the tragedy and nearly 5,000 runners who didn’t get to finish in 2013.

Unprecedented security – more than 3,500 police officers and 800 National Guard troops – made sure that the race went off without incident, even with an estimated 1 million spectators lining the 26.2 miles from Hopkinton to Back Bay. And in what can only be called a storybook ending, Meb Keflezighi of San Diego – defying the odds at 38 – became the first American to win the iconic race since 1985. He wore red, white and blue, had names of bombing victims on his runner’s bib and broke down in tears at the finish line. “At the end, I just kept thinking, ‘Boston strong, Boston strong,’ ” he told reporters afterward.

It seems fitting that the one to break the Kenyan stranglehold was Keflezighi, who emigrated from Eritrea when he was 12 and made his own American dream come true. “God bless America and God bless Boston for this special day,” he said.

It was just another day in federal prison for accused Boston bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 20, awaiting his trial scheduled for November that could result in the death penalty. It also shows America’s values – including a bedrock belief in the rule of law – that he will have his day in court, afforded all the protections of the justice system. The Obama administration wisely resisted calls to take a quicker path and put Tsarnaev before a military tribunal.

A marathon is a good metaphor for the hard work of our democracy.

At times, events weighted with so much emotion and symbolism can veer off course. Monday’s marathon stayed true, a sincere tribute befitting Patriots’ Day.

Political races to watch during 2014 It happens every four years. The political party on the defensive tries to portray the gubernatorial, House and Senate races in off-year elections as individual races without a unifying theme. The party with the whip hand tries to portray these races as a national referendum on an important issue or on an unpopular president.

That’s happening again this year.

But whether these races are national or local, several statewide contests will have national importance. Here is an observer’s guide to some that may matter most: • Arizona governor. The last three governors of the state were women, one Democratic and two Republican.

Of the 14 governors since mid-century, seven were Republicans and seven were Democrats. Three Arizonans – one Democrat who was not nominated, two Republicans who were – have run for president in the past half-century.

All that suggests the state is a model of political balance. It is not.

Since the middle of the 20th century, the state has voted Republican in every presidential election but one (1996, when Bill Clinton defeated

National perspective David M. Shribman Robert J. Dole).

But that does not mean it is not a bellwether. The state may have championed a restrictive immigration bill in 2010, but Arizona may be only a decade and a half from being a majority Hispanic state. Right now, nine Republicans and one Democrat are seeking their parties’ gubernatorial nomination. The Republicans are emphasizing business and development, the Democrat is courting gays and Latinos, both aggrieved by Republican initiatives.

This gubernatorial race may signal how Arizona, and perhaps America, will lean in the future.

• Iowa Senate. Tom Harkin has been an unbending oak in Iowa politics for a generation, first as a crusading House member, later as a liberal stalwart in the Senate. He’s retiring. The race to fill his spot is important, and not only because the destiny of every Democratic-held

Senate seat is important.

The issue here is the political profile of Iowa, the site of the first presidential caucus in 2016. The state’s gubernatorial race won’t tell us much significant. The incumbent, Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, is running for his sixth term – if he wins, he’d be positioned to be the longest-serving governor in American history – and so the gubernatorial race is less about issues than it is about Branstad.

The focus instead is on the GOP Senate primary, with special attention on whether the nominee is identified with what are known in Iowa as “Liberty Republicans,” who are basically members of the Tea Party, or with party regulars.

The resolution of this contest – one of the candidates is a woman who says she has experience castrating hogs, positioning her perfectly to cut pork – will provide insights about the character of the Republican caucuses a year from January.

Be ready for severe weather

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, April 25, 2014

To the Editor: Spring and severe weather season has arrived. A severe weather event typically brings out the best in our neighbors.

Unfortunately, natural disasters can also bring out the worst. Residents that experience storm damage should beware of a small fraction of unscrupulous contractors who attempt to take advantage of victims.

Illinois law protects consumers against those who would prey on them following natural disasters. Commonly known as The Storm Chaser Act, it provides protection to victims of storms.

To protect against becoming a victim of an unscrupulous contractor, the Illinois Insurance Association recommends: • Consult immediately with your insurance agent.

• Work only with building contractors with whom you are familiar or who are recommended by your local Better Business Bureau or Chamber of Commerce.

• If you believe you have been approached by someone engaging in a deceptive practice, contact your county’s state’s attorney’s office.

If you have an elderly loved one who was victimized by the recent storms, take extra care to make sure they are not additionally victimized by an unscrupulous contractor.

For those living in Medically Underserved Areas (MUAs), pharmacists are of critical importance in preventative care, serving as their nearest healthcare professional and provider.

The need for pharmacists will continue to grow even further in these areas according to the American Association of Medical Colleges Center who recently reported America will face a shortage of more than 90,000 doctors in the next decade.

This shortfall will most greatly impact the approximately 20 percent of Americans who live in rural or inner-city locations designated as MUAs. Students who are required to be vaccinated should have ready access through a visit to their local pharmacy. Current Illinois statute already permits qualified pharmacists to administer the flu vaccination; pharmacists stand ready to assist Illinois families with this new mandate.

Find out what it all means for you, your children, future generations and our country.

What has been learned about the TPP is that it has little to do with trade (only five chapters of it deal with trade, out of 29 chapters). If passed, the TPP would profoundly impact wages, food safety, job security, environmental quality of life and our very own national sovereignty.

A true sign of spring

A Rauner win, would send powerful message • SHRIBMAN Continued from page 25 home state is important – and a Bruce Rauner victory in the gubernatorial race in Illinois this fall would send an especially powerful message.

Rauner, who owns a share of the Pittsburgh Steelers, is the former chairman of a private equity firm in Chicago. He is a novice to elective politics and he is a traditional Republican profile, emphasizing business values, government efficiency, reduced spending and lower taxes. To that he has added a vow to cut the state’s minimum wage.

His opponent is Gov. Pat Quinn, a traditional Illinois Democrat with traditional experience (six years as lieutenant governor, four as treasurer) but an untraditional Democratic problem – opposition from unions, in large measure because of his support for a state pension plan that undermines public employees’ retirement plans.

All this puts a key political force, organized labor, in a difficult position, chary of the Republican challenger and skeptical of the Democratic incumbent. Quinn’s job approval numbers provide no comfort for the governor.

This race will reveal more than who sits in the governor’s chair in Springfield.

It will indicate whether the Democrats’ populist themes (increase millionaires’ taxes and keep the minimum wage above the federal level) or the Republicans’ populist themes (cut taxes, improve the commercial climate) prevail among alienated voters in a big state, providing a hint of which campaign strategies might be effective in the 2016 presidential race.

• Florida governor. Once again in 2012, the struggle for Florida’s 29 electoral votes, tied with New York as the third biggest prize in American presidential politics, was close – and, for a time, unresolved. In the end,

Barack Obama prevailed, the final count giving him a victory with just a fraction over 50 percent of the vote.

With California voting Democratic the last six times, New York going Democratic the last seven times and Texas going Republican the last eight elections in a row, Florida remains the most significant swing state, with the parties splitting Florida’s electoral votes over the last six elections.

With no Senate race this year, the battle for the governor’s office is the best indicator of Florida’s mood.

The incumbent is embattled GOP Gov. Rick Scott, and his possible opponent is a former Republican governor himself, Charlie Crist, who was upset in the 2010 U.S. Senate primary by Marco Rubio, now a possible presidential candidate. Crist ran in that year’s general election anyway, finishing second as an independent.

Two years later he joined the Democratic Party.

Here the principal issue is health care. Republicans have strong majorities in both houses of the legislature, and when state lawmakers blocked the expansion of Medicaid, they provided an opening for Crist to charge that Scott was responsible for a situation where “six people in Florida die every day as a result.” For his part, Scott and his allies have loosed attacks against Crist for his support of Obamacare.

In a state with $192 billion in gross hospital patient revenues, according to the American Hospital Directory, just about even with far larger Texas, which has about 7 million more people, and vastly outpacing New York, with about the same population and only $147 billion in gross revenues, there are few more important issues in Florida.

Calderaro scores twice as Porters blank Joliet C.

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, April 25, 2014

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – After not faring too well in its conference opener with Sandburg, Lockport’s girls soccer team was looking for a different type of showing Thursday.

That’s when it played host to Joliet Central, which was coming off a league win over rival Joliet West in its last outing, and was hoping to build on that momentum.

The roles wound up being reversed for the two, however, when they squared off in a SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue match at the Porters’ field.

Lockport received late goals in each half from junior Sam Calderaro while keeping Central from finding the net in a 2-0 victory on a windy afternoon.

“This was a nice bounceback for us after the Sandburg game,” Porters coach Todd Elkei said. “We were able to put some things together and seeing Sammy being able to finish was nice since she’s been frustrated a little bit.

She kept working hard and was composed and she was rewarded for that with two nice goals.

“We had numerous chances in the first half, but it’s kind of been that way throughout the year. We’ve been working on crossing and finishing and being dangerous by making the right runs, and it’s starting to pay off. It’s hard to not get frustrated, but you have to look at how many young people we’re playing and that we’re building.”

The Porters (3-5-4, 1-1) suffered major graduation losses from last year’s SWSC Blue champions and they have struggled to find people who can put the ball in the net.

Calderaro was among them, having scored just one goal before Thursday’s match.

She equalled that total shortly before the break, and then exceeded it as time was winding down to assure the victory.

“This was one of our first wins in awhile and it was good because it also was our first conference win,” Calderaro said. “Mary Licata and Brooke

Joliet Central’s Jaquelin Zavala dribbles the ball during Thursday’s match against Lockport at Lockport High School. Lockport defeated Central, 2-0.

Janeczek assisted me with through balls and I went in and was able to score. I think that this is going to boost our team’s confidence a lot. We’re finally getting to know each other better and we’re starting to come together as a team.”

Lockport had plenty of good chances, whether it was heading into the wind, as it did in the first half, or it had the strong wind at its back, as it did following the break.

Meanwhile, the Steelmen (3-9-1, 1-2) weren’t able to capitalize with the wind advantage and didn’t turn in the type of effort that coach Eduardo Contreras was looking for.

“In the first half, we didn’t take advantage of the wind and it looked like we were playing passive,” Contreras said. “We didn’t put forth the effort like we did on Monday against West and it showed.

We can’t just show up and think that we’re going to win, we have to give 100 percent in every game. Sometimes if you go to work and don’t put in the

effort you don’t deserve to get paid and we didn’t deserve to get paid [Thursday].”

Both squads had chances before Mary Licata sent a pass forward to Calderaro, who scored in the 39th minute for the only goal her team would need.

Kathia Arredondo and Calderaro exchanged early tries, and around the half’s midpoint, Taylor Stortz lined a corner kick to Central keeper Jolene Butler while Porter keeper Cassidy Henson denied an attempt by Estefania Zavala.

Stortz, Calderaro and Allison Polinski all had breakaways in the first 40 minutes but defenders such as Milena Singletary, Gabrielle King and Alexis Negron broke them up.

In the second half, Polinski, Licata, Johnna Gerona, Karlee Stortz and Yvonne O’Rourke all kept the pressure up for the Porters, who found the net in the 77th minute when Brooke Janeczek found Calderaro, who scored to end the drama.

COAL CITY – After losing Wednesday in coach Jerry McDowell’s bid for his 1,000th career coaching win, the Coal City baseball team didn’t leave Thursday’s outcome in much doubt. The Coalers scored seven runs in the bottom of the first and added five more in the second en route to a 14-1 win over Illiana Christian. It was the 474th high school win for McDowell, who also has 526 wins on the grade school level.

“We played our best game of the season against a very good Illiana team,” McDowell said. “We were very aggressive at the plate from the beginning and ran the bases really nice. Hopefully we can continue this type of play “ Joe Quinn had two hits and two RBIs for the Coalers (9-8), while Lane Cowherd hit a three-run double in the second. Brad Littleton allowed

just an unearned run in his four innings to get the win.

Joliet C. errors costly in loss to Lockport

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, April 25, 2014

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – When a team is struggling to find consistency, the process can be excruciating.

Joliet Central is in one of those funks. Steelmen pitching allowed two hits in Thursday’s SouthWest Suburban Blue game against Lockport at Ed Flink Field.

However, a combination of 12 walks, a hit batter and three costly errors helped the Porters walk away with a 9-0 victory.

“We know when you play Lockport, you don’t have to play perfect, but you have to play well,” Central coach Tony Juarez said. “We had one terrible inning and that was it right there.

“You can’t give a team like that four or five outs, and we went ahead and gave them six.”

Steelmen ace left-hander Troy Carlson allowed Chris Grazioli’s two-run homer down the left field line in the second inning for a 2-0 Porters lead.

Carlson endured a fourth inning where he threw 46 of his 113 pitches, including 15 consecutive balls at one point. Yet, he would have gotten out of the inning trailing only 3-0 if not for a dropped throw on the potential third out. Before the nightmarish inning ended Lockport’s lead had grown to 6-0.

Grazioli’s homer, which gave the Porters (9-9, 4-0) a 2-0 lead, was first ruled foul by the home plate umpire, then was changed to fair when the umpires consulted.

“I was pretty sure it was fair,” Grazioli said. “I knew it was going out. I didn’t know he was going to call it foul at first. That was surprising.”

The towering blast appeared to be directly above the foul pole when it left the yard.

Grazioli also hit a line shot but was robbed of a second hit on a backhanded catch

by Central second baseman Freddy Hernandez. “That

one felt good off the bat, too.”

Grazioli said.

“Chris has had injury issues and has been in and out of the lineup,” Lockport coach Andy Satunas said of Grazioli. “He’s starting to feel better now. We know he can help us as the DH or in the infield.”

Grazioli’s blast provided a comfort level for Porters senior right-hander Rusty Hoh, who worked the first five innings. Central (3-14, 0-4) put runners on second and third with one out in the fourth and got the first two men on and eventually loaded the bases in the fifth, but could not score.

“Russ (Hoh) was a senior stepping up on the mound,” Satunas said. “Sometimes you need a pitcher to do that.”

The Steelmen also loaded the bases in the sixth and had runners on the corners with one out in the seventh, but reliever Austin Moralis escaped both of those pickles.

“We were in situations where all we had to do was put the bat on the ball and we would have scored and been right in the game, and we couldn’t get it done,” Juarez said.

Mike Formella’s two-run double in the sixth was Lockport’s other hit. Christian Smith had two hits and Zach Goetchel doubled for Central.

Lockport will host Joliet Catholic at 7 p.m. Friday on Military Appreciation Night.

“We’re excited to honor our current military and veterans,” Satunas said. “We lost to Joliet Catholic, 2-1, once and we’re excited about the opportunity to compete again against one of the best teams in the state.”

South Suburban coach, former USF All-American achieves milestone

“There is good competition in Division II, but we always have been Division I and want to stay there. Ultimately in the end, it is well worth it for the kids. That’s what this is all about, helping kids reach the highest level they can.”

The Bulldogs are 23-14 this season.

“We’re solid,” Ruzich said.

“We schedule games just about every day. If you hit a stretch with good weather, you play a lot of games in a short amount of time and you start looking for anyone to pitch.”

Jackson solid, but not good enough Sox fall despite homer from Dunn

By JOHN JACKSON

The Associated Press

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – There’s little doubt that Miguel Cabrera is one of the best hitters in baseball. And often, it’s his massive home runs that fans, players and managers remember.

Thursday, though, he delivered in a different way.

Cabrera found infield gaps with a pair of two-out hits to drive in three runs in Detroit’s 7-4 victory over the White Sox. Scherzer (2-1) struck out 10, allowing two runs and seven hits in six innings. A high pitch count ended his outing early.

“There’s a reason he’s the Cy Young winner,” said Adam Dunn, who homered off Scherzer. “You go against

(Justin) Verlander one night and then you have to go against Scherzer, and they are both just so tough. They have so many pitches that they can throw for strikes that you are always in trouble against them.”

Joe Nathan pitched the ninth for his fourth save in six tries. He got the final two outs on a strikeout where Jose Abreu was called for interfering with catcher Bryan Holaday’s throw to second base on a stolen-base attempt.

Holaday was amused to find out he had been credited with a game-ending unassisted double play.

“I’ve never even seen anything like that before,” he laughed. “That’s my first one of those, whatever what it was.”

CHICAGO – Edwin Jackson registered his first quality start and worked into the seventh inning for the first time this season.

It still wasn’t enough for the Cubs.

Jackson allowed three runs in the first two innings and the Cubs couldn’t erase the early deficit in a 5-2 loss to the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

“Early in the game, it felt like I was rushing a little bit,” Jackson said. “It was one of those days when you feel like you don’t have your best stuff, so you try to make it happen. You just have to take a step back and slow the game down. I let it come to me, tried to go out and take it.”

After surrendering the early runs, Jackson (1-2) set-

tled down and retired 17 of the final 18 batters. He allowed five hits in seven innings.

“He kept us in the ballgame,” Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. “He didn’t have his best stuff, so he really had to work.”

Mike Bolsinger earned his first major league win, pitching into the seventh inning and hitting an RBI single to lead Arizona to a split of the four-game series after dropping the first two games.

Bolsinger (1-1) allowed one unearned run and four hits in 6 2⁄3 innings. He struck out seven and walked two.

“It was good to get the first win, but I think it was a lot better to get a big team win, especially two in a row now,” Bolsinger said. “Hopefully, that gets something started with this club, and we can keep it rolling.”

Miguel Montero drove in

two runs, and the Diamondbacks won consecutive games for only the second time this season. Addison Reed got his fifth save in six chances with a perfect ninth.

After Arizona took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, the Cubs got that run back right away in the bottom half.

Leadoff man Emilio Bonifacio stretched a hit up the middle into a hustle double, which was reviewed when it appeared he was tagged out after he overslid the base. After a lengthy review, the call stood.

After a walk, Bonifacio scored on Arizona left fielder Roger Kieschnick’s error on a line drive by Anthony Rizzo.

The Cubs went on to load the bases with one out on a walk, but Bolsinger struck out Mike Olt looking and got Welington Castillo to fly out.

Joliet resident Steve Ruzich was an NAIA All-America catcher when he played for St. Francis in the 1980s.

He learned a few things from his legendary coach, Gordie Gillespie, that he has put to good use during his career as the baseball coach at South Suburban College in South Holland.

Ruzich, who played briefly in the White Sox organization out of St. Francis and began his South Suburban career in 1987, earned his 1,000th victory Wednesday when South Suburban erased a 6-0 deficit to beat Morton, 8-6.

Last winter, he learned he would be inducted May 23 into the NJCAA Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame in Grand Junction, Colo. The induction ceremony comes on the eve of the NJCAA Division I World

Series, which will be played May 24 to 31 at Grand Junction. Ruzich led the Bulldogs to World Series appearances in 1991 and 2006.

“Going into the Hall of Fame, that’s the ultimate,” Ruzich said. “That’s where the World Series is. I call that paradise.

“The way the tournament at Cooperstown is Disneyland for young kids, this is Disneyland for college kids. There is such prestige associated with it.”

Ruzich will be joining his good friend Wayne King, the Joliet Junior College coach who is a Hall of Famer.

“Wayne is like my brother,” Ruzich said. “We talk every morning.”

When he played at St. Francis, Ruzich said Gillespie always wanted the Saints to face the best competition possible.

“Gordie’s feeling was if you want to be the best, you had to

who moved on to four-year schools and a few who reached the major leagues. The list includes outfielder Rob Mackowiak, pitcher Tim Byrdak and Ron Mahay, who pitched after playing a few games in the big leagues as an outfielder.

Most recently, former Lincoln-Way Central and South Suburban pitcher Tony Cingrani has made a splash with the Cincinnati Reds.

“Tony and I are in contact on a regular basis,” Ruzich said. “I’m proud of what he is doing.”

Ruzich, also the South Suburban athletic director, is the 13th active NJCAA coach to reach 1,000 victories (his teams have 579 losses). Even fewer have accomplished it with one school.

Ruzich’s son, Nate, was the catcher on Joliet Catholic’s state championship team in 2009. He is redshirting this season at Northern Illinois University, recovering from surgery to repair a tear in his labrum, and plans to return to the Huskies’ lineup next season.

Overtimes mark Hawks’ new normal CHICAGO – In the wee hours Thursday, just beneath his champion mustache, Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville might have cracked a smile.

In fact, yes. I’m certain it was a smile.

Quenneville was discussing his team’s Western Conference quarterfinal series against the St. Louis Blues, and the corners of his lips curled upward in satisfaction. The clock already had marched past midnight and Quenneville probably wouldn’t pull into his driveway until 2 a.m. – oh, and he had to catch a plane the next day – but he was as happy as could be, the goal light of his heart beaming bright.

“Can’t say enough,” Quenneville said, “about how competitive it’s been in the four games: the battles, the resiliency and the will.”

It’s not over. It’s just beginning.

The Hawks will visit the Blues on Friday for Game 5 of a terrific first-round series.

The winner will grab a 3-2 series lead heading into Game 6 on Sunday at the United Center, while the loser will inch perilously close to a long, unwanted vacation.

Think about this. Entering Thursday’s action, the NHL playoffs had included nine overtime games. One-third of those had come from a single

VIEWS Tom Musick series: Hawks vs. Blues.

If you include the end of the regular season, five of the Hawks’ past 10 games have gone to overtime. If you include 2013, seven of their past 11 playoff games have gone to overtime, including three to double overtime and two to triple overtime.

If Friday’s game increases the playoff overtime tally to four out of the past five and eight out of the past 12, will anybody be surprised?

Not the Hawks, that’s for sure.

In the 15-minute intermission between the end of the third period and the start of overtime in Game 4, the doors to the Hawks’ locker room remained shut. Tens of thousands of fans waited in the stadium and hundreds of thousands waited in front of their TV sets, but the locker room was restricted to a few dozen players.

Was it silent? Were there speeches? What was said?

“We’re going, ‘We’re doing this again?’ ” Hawks forward Bryan Bickell said with a toothless smile and a hearty Canadian laugh.

In other words, no big speeches. No big anything,

really. A pressure-filled overtime period was nothing new to the Hawks, and the calm atmosphere of the locker room reflected their new normal.

“It’s pretty much the same as before any other period,” Hawks defenseman Michal Rozsival said. “We’re just trying to focus on the goals that we set before the game. You don’t really want to change anything just because you’re going to overtime.”

Instead, the Hawks rested and waited for their latest overtime to start.

Already, the Hawks have played 298 minutes in their series against the Blues. The puck has dropped on 17 periods in four games. And now it’s a best-of-three series.

No big speeches. Only big hearts.

“They’re the same way,” Bickell said. “They’ve come back twice in the first three games, and I think we have the same character. Do or die.”

Maybe that explained the gruff coach’s grin as he spoke glowingly about the battles, the resiliency and the will.

“I don’t expect that to change,” Quenneville said.

“Sets up for a great Game 5.”

Right on.

‘Dazzling Debuts’

Winners of JSO’s irst concerto competition to be featured at concert “No matter what you do outside music, it’s not the same feeling.”

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – I want to play the big one.

That’s what Marianne Roszyk, 26, of Minooka said the first time she saw a cello. A former tagalong to violin lessons of her brother, Michael Roszyk of Shorewood, Roszyk said her violin “went by the wayside” once she switched to cello.

Roszyk and vocalist Karlie Traversa, 18, of Plainfield, both won Joliet Symphony Orchestra’s first concerto competition, held in 2013, and will be featured at JSO’s “Dazzling Debuts” spring concert at 3 p.m. Sunday in the University of St. Francis’ Sexton Auditorium in Joliet.

JSO music director Jim Stopher said the concerto competition gave JSO two great ways to connect musically with the Joliet area community. One was to showcase great local talent.

“It [also] gave young people an opportunity to work up their pieces to a performance level and perform them for a panel of judges,” Stopher said.

“Featuring these two young soloists is going to be really exciting.”

On Saturday, JSO is set to take part in another performance at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, where JSO will collaborate with the Annual Organ Pops Concert.

“We’re doing a few things on our own, as well,” Stopher said.

Traversa said she was 6 years old when she began singing in community musical theater programs and 10 when she started taking vocal lessons with Joliet voice teacher, Jeffrey Ray. She then sang in choirs and musical theater programs at Plainfield schools (and in sixth and seventh grade at the Cathedral of St. Raymond in Joliet) from fourth grade through high school.

“I loved singing so much,

I decided to pursue it in college,” said Traversa, who is studying vocal performance at North Park University in Chicago.

At the JSO concert, Traversa will sing, “Kommt ein schlanker Bursch gegangen” by Carl Maria Von Weber from the opera “Der Freischütz,” a German opera piece, she said.

Traversa’s ultimate goal is to sing opera full time.

“I love connecting with people in different cultures,” Traversa said. “It’s great that music can take you to those words and reach other people.”

Traversa started singing classical pieces two years ago, according to the JSO website.

In 2012, Traversa competed in Millikin University’s Vocal Competition and won an honorable mention as a finalist.

Recently, Traversa was one of three Illinois high school students selected to compete in a classical singer competition in Massachusetts, sponsored by “Classical Singer Magazine.” Last summer, Traversa sang in Assisi, Italy, with the Vatican chorus for its 500th anniversary and was featured in her first opera production.

Nevertheless, Traversa was surprised she had won

“She said, ‘Your voice is your instrument,’ ” Traversa said.

Similarly, Roszyk played cello during her school years through Valley View School District 365U. At Butler University in Indiana, Roszyk earned a Bachelor of Science degree in arts administration, which Roszyk called, “the best of both words.”

“I got to learn about the business side of things,” Roszyk said, “and I got to play.”

While at Butler University, according to the JSO website, Roszyk performed in various events of the Finger Lakes Chamber Music Festival. In addition to private lessons, Roszyk also has attended master classes with cellists from the University of Missouri-Kansas City, Chicago Symphony Orchestra, DaPonte String Quartet, Vermeer Quarter and the Canadian Conservatory.

Roszyk, who works for an Elgin mortgage company and plays with the Fox Valley Orchestra in Aurora, hopes to one day play full time, ideally for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. Playing music produces a special feeling, she said.

“No matter what you do outside music,” Roszyk said, “it’s not the same feeling.”

The JSO concerto competition was Roszyk’s second victory. Roszyk also was the winner of the 2011 Butler University Concerto Competition, and performed with them in November 2011. Metropolitan Youth Symphony Orchestra sponsored Roszyk’s other competition.

“I was the runner-up,” Roszyk said, “but they still let me play.”

JSO was founded in 2005; USF sponsors it, Stopher said.

JSO’s national search for a new music director brought Stopher to JSO in 2011. Stopher also teaches piano and music appreciation at USF and plays piano for all USF choirs, recitals and musical theater productions, he said.

“Heaven is for Real”

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

STARRING: Greg Kinnear, Kelly Reilly,

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

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

by Alastair Fothergill and Keith Scholey, who previously teamed on “African Cats,” the adventure takes place along the breathtaking Alaskan peninsula, where irst-time mom Sky and her two tiny cubs, Amber and Scout, have emerged from hibernation and need to start addressing the food situation. For a baby bear, getting to that sustenance isn’t exactly a piece of cake, what with avalanches and predatory animals to deal with, including some of their own kind, like Magnus, the dominant alpha male in their neighborhood, and Chinook, a very hungry outcast who constantly poses a threat to clingy Amber and mischievous Scout. By now it’s a familiar tale of one family’s survival instinct, but it’s hard not to cuddle up to a cute cub, and all that fearlessly up-close-andpersonal footage, set extensively against that untouched Alaskan coastline, nevertheless makes for a compelling excursion. The inherent drama is boosted by George Fenton’s seriously symphonic score and contrasts with those delightfully loose, animated voiceovers courtesy of Reilly, a big teddy bear of an actor if ever there was one. – The Associated Press

PLOT: A small-town father must ind

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

RATED: PG for thematic material, including some medical situations TIME: 1 hour, 40 minutes VERDICT: Continuing the recent trend of faith-based ilms, including “Noah” and “Son of God,” “Heaven Is for Real” is a sweet tale based on a 4-year-old boy’s account of his trip to heaven that’s likely to please the devout, but won’t entice religious cynics. After undergoing harrowing surgery for a ruptured appendix, young Colton Burpo (Connor Corum) begins recalling his journey for his family: Angels carried him to heaven where he met Jesus (played by Mike Mohrhardt, whose face we never quite see), as well as God, Colton’s great-grandfather and the miscarried sister he never knew he had. Such talk frightens his older sister (Lane Styles) and worries his pastor father, Todd (Greg Kinnear), and mother, Sonja (Kelly Reilly). As Colton becomes more verbal about his supposed encounter, the local paper starts reporting the story. This leads some members of Todd’s congregation (Thomas Haden Church and Margo Martindale) to turn against the Burpo family. Though Todd sticks up for his son, his faith is tested. But Todd is captivated, as we are, by his son’s innocence – especially when Colton tells him things he couldn’t possibly know, such as how he saw his parents cope, each in their own way, during his near-fatal surgery.

It’s the casting of Kinnear that offers the ilm’s strongest chance at transcending the faith-based demographic, as the actor never fails to embody the everyman.

In the way of gripping dialogue, Kinnear doesn’t have much to work with. We might have expected more from writer-director Randall Wallace, who brought us the Oscar-nominated “Braveheart.” But the material is pretty cookie-cutter and more typical of an afterschool special. However, Wallace and co-writer Chris Parker do a good job of weaving in moments that should appeal to a mass audience. Kinnear and Reilly’s chemistry also offers a favorable element. With the impressive computer-generated effects available today, this ilm could have

used a more sophisticated depiction of heaven. It’s no surprise that faith, hope and family prevail in this one.

After all, says Todd in one of his sermons, “In the end, it’s about not feeling alone.”– The Associated

Press

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

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

RATED: R for terror, violence, some disturbing images and brief language

TIME: 1 hour, 45 minutes VERDICT: Tightly paced between two time periods, and edited so they become a blur, “Oculus” is a hallucinatory ghost story that packs serious punch. In the present, we have Tim (Brenton Thwaites), getting out of a mental hospital at age 21, having shot his father dead 10 years earlier.

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

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

Kaylie is there to remind him of the truth. And so we go back 10 years, when young Tim (Garrett Ryan) and young Kaylie (Annalise Basso) are moving into a new house with their father (Rory Cochrane) and mother (Katee Sackhoff). Dad has bought an antique mirror for his ofice. That mirror, or what it contains, starts driving Dad mad. In the present, Kaylie has found the mirror and brought it back to their old house.

In an effort to prove it’s haunted she has rigged the place with all sorts of monitors and cameras. So while Dad is going crazy and Mom is under ire and the kids are terriied in the past, the grown kids are confronting the demon mirror in the present. None of this seems likely to end well. The key to director and co-writer Mike Flanagan’s great success here is the momentum he builds switching back and forth between then and now. He moves so seamlessly – at one point, the past walks down a staircase, passing the present moving up – that time eventually blends and he’s telling both stories at once. Yes, there’s a bit of blood and Sackhoff takes some terrible turns here, but “Oculus” is haunting because it messes with your head. That’s where the ghosts are. – The Associated Press

“Rio 2” STARRING: Jesse Eisenberg, Anne Hathaway, Jemaine Clement PLOT: It’s a jungle out there for Blu, Jewel and their three kids after they’re hurtled from Rio de Janeiro to the wilds of the Amazon. As Blu tries to it in, he goes beak-to-beak with the vengeful Nigel and meets the most fearsome adversary of all: his father-in-law.

RATED: G TIME: 1 hour, 41 minutes VERDICT: A vivid and delightful animated spectacle, “Rio 2” is chock-full of colorful 3-D wonder and jubilant musical numbers set against a tale of family dynamics and environmental dilemmas. Supervised by composer John Powell, more emphasis has been placed on the music of this film, which benefits from numbers by artists such as Bruno Mars (who also voices the smooth bird Roberto in the film), Janelle Monae and celebrated Brazilian musician Carlinhos Brown.

After mating in Brazil in 2011’s “Rio,” rare macaws Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel (Anne Hathaway) now have three lively kids who have become accustomed to the same domestication Blu was brought up on in Minnesota. The family heads off to the Amazon rainforest, to Jewel’s delight and Blu’s strife.

With a few of the quirky supporting characters from the first film in tow – including birds voiced by George Lopez (as frisky toucan Rafael) and Jamie Foxx and will.i.am (as rapping canary-and-cardinal duo Nico and Pedro) – they soar through a dazzling journey to the rainforest. But they try too hard to make up for the minimalist plot of the original and drown in subplots: Blu’s old rival, Nigel (Jemaine Clement of “Flight of the Conchords”), pops up with a beautiful yet poisonous neon pink and purple frog (an angelic and cutesy Kristin Chenoweth). It’s Chenoweth’s Broadway-like delivery that trumps all.

With so much going on, it’s a wonder this kids’ movie isn’t longer. But for the music and brilliantly picturesque look, it’s worth the 3-D ticket. – The

Associated Press

“The Quiet Ones” STARRING: Jared Harris, Sam Clalin, Olivia Cooke

PLOT: A university professor and a team of students conduct an experiment on a young woman, uncovering terrifyingly dark, unexpected forces in the process.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and terror, sexual content, thematic material, language and smoking throughout TIME: 1 hour, 38 minutes VERDICT: Paying homage in style and theme to the vintage horror movies of the 1970s, “The Quiet Ones” is the latest stylish shocker from Hammer, the recently reactivated classic U.K. studio imprint. Mixing creaky haunted-house and exorcism tropes with a nod to the contemporary found-footage subgenre, the film relies on high production values and sense-battering shock tactics to make up for wooden performances and an illogical, silly script. As an exercise in retro pastiche, it impresses. But as a postmodern genre reinvention, it fails to deliver. The sophomore feature of Washington-born screenwriter-turned-director John Pogue, “The Quiet Ones” boasts the usual vague claims to be “inspired by actual events.” It draws very loosely on the “Philips Experiment” of 1972, in which a group of Toronto academic researchers tried to prove ghosts and poltergeists are constructs of the human mind. Set in 1974, the film stars “Mad Men” veteran Jared Harris as Joseph Coupland, an Oxford University psychology professor. Coupland hires amateur cameraman Brian McNeil (“Hunger Games” regular Sam Claflin) to document his controversial experiments on Jane Harper (Olivia Cooke), a mentally unstable young woman who appears to be possessed by a diabolical alter ego named Evey. The professor believes Jane is creating Evey purely through her own telekinetic powers. His cutting-edge treatment, bizarrely, involves locking her in a cell-like bedroom and blasting her with loud rock music.

As the obligatory sexual tension begins to crackle between Brian and Jane – or is it Evey? – shocking revelations come to light about several key characters, and Evey’s poltergeist-like antics turn steadily more sinister. Claflin’s Brian is a pale cipher of naive goodness, while his fellow researchers Kristina (Erin Richards) and Harry (Rory Fleck-Byrne) are thinly written eye-candy roles.

Production design is strong, capturing bell-bottomed post-hippie fashions of the era. Visual effects are also impressive. The sound design is striking too.

“The Quiet Ones” is not very original, nor even especially scary, and its title ultimately proves as meaningless as its plot. Creaky and predictable, it should serve as comfort food to the huge and undemanding global fan base for oldschool horror, the heavy metal of movie genres.– The Associated Press

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

• Friday, April 25, 2014

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Mark Twain said, “Always do right; this will gratify some people and astonish the rest.”

At the bridge table, if you play right, you will gratify your partner, astonish those who do not rate your game highly, and irk the opponents.

Sometimes, of course, you rely on partner’s giving you accurate information, without which you will not do right. In this deal, how should the defenders card to defeat two spades after West leads the diamond ace?

North was tempted to pass out one no-trump. but knew that the percentage action was to retreat into spades; here, via a transfer bid. (One no-trump can be defeated by two tricks.)

West was tempted to double two spades for takeout, but that would have been dangerous because North could have had a strong hand, and here would have turned a potential plus into a definite minus.

At first glance, South has only five losers: one spade, two hearts and two diamonds. He can get to dummy with a diamond ruff and the club king to take two spade finesses. But ...

Under West’s diamond ace, East should drop his queen, showing the jack as well. Then West ought to shift to the heart king, under which East plays his six, starting a high-low with a doubleton.

South ducks, but now West leads a low diamond to get his partner on play. And East returns his second heart.

Declarer wins with his ace, ruffs his last diamond in the dummy and takes a spade finesse. But West wins the trick, cashes the heart queen, and leads another heart. East overruffs the dummy to defeat the contract.

Childhood abuse victim finds love with woman Teen won’t make the DEAR ABBY same mistake again

Dear Abby: I am a woman in a loving relationship with another woman. My family has been harsh in their remarks to me, saying they would rather I was dead than doing this, or that I should move away if this is the way I am going to live.

I have been married twice.

Neither marriage worked out.

During my childhood, I was molested by a family member.

Since then, I have been scared of men and don’t want to be around them. I have had crushes on women in the past, but didn’t tell my family because I’m a 30-year-old adult and I felt it was none of their business.

I keep asking myself if my attraction to my lover was a choice, but I don’t remember “choosing” this. All I remember is falling for her and not wanting to look back. Should I end this relationship and live alone forever? I never want to be with another man as long as I live. – Aching In Amarillo Dear Aching: Because your family is so unaccepting of your

Jeanne Phillips sexual orientation, it would be interesting to know how they view your molester.

Did you tell anyone what happened, and did you receive counseling about it? If the answer is you didn’t, then PLEASE consider getting some now to help you deal with any residual issues because you appear to have a few – like your fear of and aversion to all men.

What your family said was cruel and uncalled-for. It’s apparent they know nothing about homosexuality.

There is a chapter of PFLAG (Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays) about two hours away from your community, located in Lubbock. You can find it online at pflaglubbock. org. It can provide information to help you build bridges of understanding with your family.

Assuming the feelings you have for this woman are reciprocated, the two of you might be happier moving to a community that is more welcoming.

Texas is a big, diverse state and Dallas, Houston or Austin might be a better fit for you.

Dear Abby: Last year I made a beautiful welcome wreath for my friend to hang on her front door.

After all this time, it’s still sitting in a box in her basement. If she doesn’t like it, I would like to ask for it back, so I can use and enjoy it. Abby, can I do this? What could I say? – Lorrie In Florida Dear Lorrie: It has always been my belief that once a gift has been given, it’s inappropriate to ask for it back.

However, if you feel comfortable enough with your friend to do so, tell her exactly what you told me: That since she has never used the wreath, you would like to have it for your own front door.

Mild scoliosis usually requires little treatment Dear Doctor K: My granddaughter has scoliosis. What is the best treatment option for this condition?

Dear Reader: For readers who may not be familiar with the condition, I’ll start by explaining what scoliosis is. Normally, when you look at a person’s spine, it appears straight. With scoliosis, the spine typically curves out to one side and then back again. Or it may have two bowed-out areas, resembling an S shape. (I’ve put an illustration of a normal spine and a spine curved by scoliosis on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

What causes scoliosis? Certain neurological conditions, such as cerebral palsy, can cause the muscles of the back to pull unevenly on the bones of the spine. Birth defects in the bones of the spine can cause it.

Other genetic conditions that affect the ligaments and soft tissues of the spine also can cause it. In most cases, there is no such clear cause.

How common is scoliosis? Including its mildest forms, about three out of every 100 children are affected. However, in only about three out of every 1,000 children is it severe enough to require treatment.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Scoliosis is a long-term condition that can worsen over time. Most cases begin well after birth, usually in adolescence (although the condition can begin at younger ages). Affected children typically are born with a straight spine, but very slowly the spine starts to curve.

The abnormal position of the spine can affect the development of associated muscles and ligaments, causing the ribs and pelvis to twist and rotate to the side. As a result, a person with scoliosis may have uneven shoulders, a pelvis that thrusts forward on one side, or one leg that appears shorter than the other.

Treatment depends on several factors. These include the child’s age and gender, how severely the spine is curved and where the curve is located.

Treatment in girls also depends on whether they have started to menstruate. That’s because scoliosis usually doesn’t worsen once rapid bone growth ends after puberty.

Most cases of scoliosis are mild and require no treatment.

Even if this is the case for your granddaughter, her doctor should examine her regularly to make sure that the curve is not getting worse. Her doctor may also advise her to avoid heavy contact sports or gymnastics.

More severe cases that cause discomfort or other symptoms often require treatment. So do mild cases that are likely to get worse.

Treatment may include back-strengthening exercises.

For the worst cases, a doctor may recommend a special back brace or even surgery. Braces and surgery can stop the condition from worsening, and they can often help straighten the spine, though not completely.

Severe and untreated scoliosis can cause back pain, permanent deformities, and breathing or heart problems. Fortunately, this is rare, and treatments available today typically stop the condition from becoming severe.

Dr. Wallace: I went steady with the “perfect guy” for a year and a half. He treated me with respect, was polite, sweet, caring and had a great sense of humor. We did talk about possible sex when we were ready to accept the responsibility, but he never pressured me.

Then things became different and we started declaring our love and talking about sex as a way to express our love. We only had sex two times, and after that first time it seemed like he changed, and then the second time was nearly two months later, and I sort of encouraged it. I’m still in shock that I was so bold.

Well, after this, my boyfriend called and said that we could still be friends, but that he didn’t want to go out with me anymore. I asked him why, but he couldn’t give me any answer. Now I only see him at school and when he sees me he looks away. I see him with another girl and it makes me very upset because I thought he was my one true love, but now he’s lost forever.

I now realize that sex was the reason he dumped me. I guess we weren’t as mature as we thought we were. And my problem was that I gave him everything he wanted and that was my big mistake. Once he got what he wanted, he moved on. – Nameless, San Jose, Calif.

Dear Nameless: I think you are 100 percent correct. I’m sure you won’t allow yourself to make the same “mistake” again.

Dr. Wallace: I’ve been reading your column for a long time, and it seems to me that there are a lot of girls who simply can’t say “No,” when their boyfriends

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace continue to pressure them for sex. After reading those letters, I wanted to speak my mind. When I hear these stories about today’s age of abortion and rampant sexually transmitted diseases, I’m relieved to know that I don’t have to worry about these things.

I’m 19 and proud to say that I’m a virgin. I was taught that a girl must think with her brain rather than allow her hormones to make these critical decisions.

I have dated many guys and had several close relationships with guys who all respected me and never pressured me to be sexually active. In fact, if a guy were so selfish as to think he could get his way, I wouldn’t go out with him again.

So, I’m telling all the girls who are pressured to have sex to never, never allow anyone to pressure you into doing something you know is wrong and don’t want to do. Remember, a careless moment can cause a lifetime of regret! – Nameless, Goshen, Ind.

Dear Nameless: Thanks so much for your letter. Many times teens get involved in sex because they believe that everyone else is sexually active. It just isn’t so, and you’re living proof!

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now Let’s pretend that I didn’t actually see this movie, that I only heard about it. And let’s say that what I heard is that it has some very funny parts, and that every actor plays his or her character for all it’s worth. Just that little bit of information would get me interested.

OK, I did indeed see it, and those factors are true. Too bad that I didn’t also hear about the story’s unrelenting implausibility, the unnecessarily long running time, and the preponderance of … oh, my, what’s the best way to put this … poop jokes.

“The Other Woman” which, for reasons that will be explained shortly, should be called “The Other Women,” is a far-too-calculated, fairly surprise-free, supposedly outrageous comedy that throws together characters who in real life would never give each other the time of day. The film asks us to go on their journey of bliss turned to deception turned to revenge, but its makers don’t seem very concerned that none of it makes any sense.

Kate (Leslie Mann) and Mark (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau – “Game of Thrones” fans know him as the King Slayer), have a happy, well-off New York life. But Mark, who makes scads of dough by investing in fake startup companies, is also having a happy and wild fling with high-powered lawyer Carly (Cameron Diaz). Kate has no clue of the affair. Carly doesn’t know that he’s married. Kate is sweet and ditzy and clueless to the ways of the world. Carly is tough and sharp and, for once, content with dating just one guy.

Mark is a total cad. He’s also sloppy. I mean, why would his mistress know his home address, where she can just pop up one day in the skimpiest of outfits, and have the door answered by his wife?

Cut to the premise: Both women find out they’ve been lied to. Both decide, after an extended, overplayed scenario in which they morph from rivals to friends, to get even with the guy. Both discover that – and here’s why the title is inaccu-

‘The Other Woman’ is too predictable and outrageous

“The Other Woman” stars Leslie Mann (from left), Nicki Minaj, Cameron Diaz and Kate Upton. rate – there’s a third woman: the buxom and brainless Amber (Kate Upton). Yeah, the guy is cheating on his wife and on his mistress. So, this all turns into a threeon-one revenge story.

The funny moments are almost exclusively due to Leslie Mann’s gift for being able to spew out bursts of wildly up and down emotional dialogue along with a dose of physical comedy – and Diaz shows that she knows how to take a convincing pratfall or two, as does Coster-Waldau.

But there’s so much that doesn’t work, starting with the script having the feeling that it’s being stretched out, that entire scenes and characters could be eliminated without affecting the story.

We really don’t need another movie with diarrhea jokes. Any yucks that come from the presence of a great Dane that just keeps getting in the way are marginal at best. Carly has an assistant in her office (Nicki Minaj) who dresses to kill but is only around to make wisecracks that are disguised as good advice, but only drag things down. And there’s Don Johnson, playing Carly’s rich and randy dad, whose purpose in the film doesn’t go beyond being there so audience members

who are old enough will point at the screen and say: “Look! Don Johnson!”

Not distracting enough? The pop songs on the soundtrack should do the trick. When our heroines start spying on Mark and his activities, we get the theme from “Mission: Impossible.” When the trio gets into juvenile revenge mode, they do so to “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” When the action sweeps out into the streets of Manhattan, Sinatra is belting out “New York, New York.” Really, how blatantly obvious can you get?

In the end, there’s comeuppance, in the exact form that anyone who’s seen any film even somewhat similar to this one will be expecting … OK, with a little additional slapstick. But despite all of the movie’s errant ways, credit’s got to go to whoever came up with the nonsensical but funny line of dialogue uttered by one of the characters: “When I get this feeling I’m usually always right.”

• “The Other Woman” is written

by Melissa Stack and directed by Nick Cassavetes. The film stars Cameron Diaz, Leslie Mann, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, Kate Upton and Don Johnson. It is rated PG-13.

BEST BETS ± 7 p.m. on LIFE Movie: Starving in Suburbia: This new drama sheds light on a disturbing development: the “pro-ana” movement, which promotes anorexia as a lifestyle choice. Laura Slade Wiggins (“The Tomorrow People”) stars as a 17-year-old girl who falls under the spell of a “thinspiration” website and its founder (Izabella Miko, “Clash of the Titans”).

Callie Thorne (“Necessary Roughness”), Marcus Giamatti (“Judging Amy”) and Sharon Lawrence (“Rizzoli & Isles”) also star.

± 8 p.m. CBS 2 NCIS: The team must reopen a hit-and-run murder case after the prime suspect’s lawyer tells Gibbs (Mark Harmon) that her client has a solid — but confidential — alibi. McGee (Sean Murray) wonders why Tony (Michael Weatherly) is behaving strangely in “Alibi.” Pauley Perrette and David McCallum also star. ± 8 p.m. SYFY Movie: Vikingdom: If you aren’t getting enough of a Viking fix from the “Thor” movies and the History series “Vikings,” here’s another tale, which incorporates some fantastical elements into its plotline.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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