The Herald-News offering text alerts to help you stay informed It’s been a long time since newsboys stood on corners shouting “Extra! Extra! Read all about it!”

In the electronic age, we don’t have people peddle our products on the street because quite frankly, it’s unlikely they’d actually be heard by anyone.

The Internet equivalent of that, though, is text and email alerts sent to your phones or email accounts. And I’m happy to share that The Herald-News has started offering these alerts to our readers.

But don’t worry, this isn’t one of those deals where we spam your phone or email with all sorts of nonsense that’s irrelevant to you. You can personalize exactly what sort of messages you’ll receive.

Among the options are: • Breaking news text and email alerts, with separate alerts for Will and Grundy counties.

• General news alerts for about 10 local communities.

Not every town, city or village in Will and Grundy counties is listed, and we’ll consider adding more if the interest is there. We’ll use these when we think there’s important news in one of these communities – maybe action taken at a city council meeting that’s going to affect many residents – that we think readers need to know to stay informed.

• AMBER Alerts from local authorities for children reported missing and in danger.

• Breaking weather alerts from the National Weather Service. If the NWS issues a severe weather watch or warning, you’ll get an immediate message with the details.

In cases of severe weather, that can make a big difference for your safety. You can choose to get alerts from either Will or Grundy counties, or choose both counties.

VIEWS Kate Schott • A daily weather forecast.

Just the expected high and low temperatures and a few details about what to expect for the day’s conditions.

• You might also notice some school districts in there, mainly from Grundy County.

This is the text alert system our sister paper, the Morris Daily Herald, has been using for several years. Because both publications cover Grundy County, we’re expanding our text alert program into The Herald-News circulation area.

Some school districts in Grundy County use our system to send out their own alerts, such as when schools close. We’re open to talking with any Will County districts interested in using the system for similar purposes.

If you’re interested in signing up, visit our website, www. theherald-news.com, look at the blue navigation bar along the top of the page, and click on “Text Alerts.” If you’re on our homepage, and you don’t see that blue navigation bar along the top but do see three parallel lines to the left of the words “The Herald-News,” click on those three lines and you’ll get a pop-up menu with the same choices.

Clicking on “Text Alerts” will take you to a page where it walks you through signing up for our alerts. Or, if you’re reading this online, go to shawurl.com/6zl and it should take you to our sign-up page.

Notice from our circulation department The next few paragraphs are from our circulation department: We will be upgrading our

subscriber database during the last week in April. During this time, most new transactions won’t be posted until the next available business date of May 1.

If you have a delivery issue during this time, we’ll be able to enter a re-delivery request for that same morning.

If you need to make a payment on your subscription account, please note that after April 22, all payments will be posted with a May 1 date.

We’ve applied a grace period to all accounts due to expire within the next two weeks, so that no one’s delivery will stop due to this database work.

Please call Customer Service at 800-397-9397 to speak with a representative about your subscription. You may also email us at customerservice@shawmedia.com.

HOMElife magazine returns OK, I’m back.

You might notice there isn’t a Real Estate section in today’s edition. That’s because we have the second installment of HOMElife, a glossy magazine that has real estate and financial information, as well as some home decorating tips.

We had a great reaction to our first edition last month, and we hope you like this one too. We’re going to run it monthly through October, always inserting it into a Sunday edition. The regular Real Estate section – including property transactions – will return next week.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

PLAINFIELD WOMAN TELLS STORY OF ACCIDENT ON BOLIVIA MEDICAL MISSION TRIP

E

• Sunday, April 27, 2014

ven as she lay trapped inside an overturned bus in the middle of Bolivia’s salt flats – two hours away from civilization – Sarah Dean was not afraid to die.

The 26-year-old trauma nurse from Plainfield saw others in need of help.

“Everyone was evacuating the bus. I could see through the emergency exit and I could see people walking and I could see people were bleeding, but I couldn’t help them,” said Dean, who at the time was heading into her second week on a Christian medical mission trip in Bolivia. “I was what they needed. I mean, I’m a trauma nurse. That’s my skill.”

What was supposed to be a bus trip to bring medical supplies to another faithbased ministry in the remote town of Llica quickly turned into a deadly accident March 16 along Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flats.

Two hours into the trip, a sports utility vehicle clipped the bus, turning it over on its side. The bus slid several yards with Dean’s left hand trapped between the window frame and the salty ground before coming to a stop. Three people in the SUV died and 16 were injured on the bus.

Dean’s instincts as a trauma nurse kicked in immediately, she said, but she couldn’t do anything for those around her as she suffered a head injury and her left hand was trapped.

“I thought, ‘I’m going to die here if I don’t get out.’ I just prayed to the Lord that if I die, it’s OK. I’m ready. I told God I wasn’t afraid to die,” she said.

“But I prayed for him to either take me or get me out of here.

That was my mentality at that point.”

Story by LAUREN LEONE-CROSS

ABOVE: The Dean family bows their heads in prayer before an Easter meal April 20. Sarah Dean (left) was involved in a bus accident while on a mission trip in Bolivia. BELOW: Sarah Dean watches as occupational therapist Ana Villanueva works on her left arm April 17 at Dean’s home in Plainfield. TOP: With freshly painted nails, Dean supports her left arm with her right hand during a physical therapy session April 17. Dean goes through physical therapy twice a week to help strengthen the weakened muscles in her injured arm.

She now had her own life to worry about. She was losing blood fast, she said, because a major artery in her arm was cut.

An ambulance was at least an hour out, so Dean took matters into her own hands. To stop the bleeding, she made a makeshift tourniquet out of string pulled from a friend’s cowboy hat. She and another woman used a soup spoon to dig out Dean’s hand from the hard, cement-like salt.

Once freed from the bus, Dean spent several days in the hospital, undergoing two sur-

geries in Bolivia before being released back to the U.S. She lost four fingers on her left hand, and the fifth had to be amputated.

Strength through adversity While doctors were unable to reattach her fingers, Dean is on the road to recovery at her parents’ home in Plainfield.

Since the accident, Dean has worked to build up her strength and range of motion through twice-a-week, athome occupational therapy.

Book would tell all about I&M Canal

By BILL WIMBISCUS

How to donate

bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com Organizers behind an illustrated history book about the Illinois & Michigan Canal hope to raise $12,500 over the next few weeks to make the project a reality.

Author/illustrator Tom Willcockson and the Canal Corridor Association plan to use Kickstarter.com funding to publish “Passage to Chicago: Traveling the Illinois and Michigan Canal in 1860.”

The planned 80-page book, which will feature more than 100 illustrations, will depict a single mule-drawn cargo boat’s 100-mile journey from LaSalle to Chicago.

“I want to highlight different towns along the way,” Willcockson said. “Joliet will definitely be one of them. I want to take the boat through the old locks into the Des Plaines River there.”

Each town will introduce a different theme in the economics and culture of the canal, Willcockson said. The pages on Ottawa, for instance, will focus on the grain elevators, Morris on the lumberyards and Lemont on the stone industry.

“When it gets to Joliet, I wanted to talk about the railroads and the beginnings of industrialization,” Willcockson said.

Willcockson illustrated and co-wrote a similar history book,

To donate to the “Passage to Chicago: Traveling the Illinois and Michigan Canal in 1860” project, go to Kickstarter.com and type in “passage to Chicago.”

Signed copies of the book are available for pledges starting at $35.

Other funding packages offer additional books sent to a library of the donor’s choice and the opportunity to be listed as a funder in the book.

A preliminary illustration from the proposed book “Passage to Chicago: Traveling the Illinois and Michigan Canal in 1860” depicts the boat cabin on a canal boat.

“Twelve Moons: A Year with Sauk and the Meskwaki, 18171818,” in 2012. He also created illustrations and assisted with the David Buisseret book “Historic Illinois From the Air.” He worked at the Newberry Library in Chicago during the 1980s and 1990s after graduating from Carleton College, Northfield, Minn., with a degree in history.

His new book will focus on the canal at its height, just be-

fore the Civil War. It will feature more than 100 original illustrations and maps.

“It’s almost like a graphic novel kind of thing,” Woodcockson said.

Interwoven with the art will be a narrative about the people who worked on and along the canal.

“The reader will meet the family operating the boat ... the crew hands, toll keepers, lock tenders, store keepers, farmers

and miners, as well as rich merchants and poor Irish laborers,” Willcockson said. “Readers will learn how massive grain elevators and lumberyards worked and see many fascinating places that no longer exist.”

If all goes well with the Kickstarter.com campaign, Willcockson said he hopes to have the book published by spring 2015.

“I basically in pencil have laid out the entire book,” he said.

“The next step will be talking to experts and having them make any corrections. Then I will do it in pen and ink, scan it and color it in Photoshop.”

Ana Koval, president of the Canal Corridor Association, said a book like this has been needed for a long time.

“This project answers requests we’ve heard for years to offer a written account of the history of this historic waterway,” Koval said in release about the Kickstarter.com campaign for the book. “Visitors to the LaSalle canal boat tell us we should offer a book, so with everyone’s help, we are now looking to do just that.”

As of April 25, with 36 of 60 days remaining, the campaign was at 15 percent of its goal: $1,894 has been donated by 16 backers.

Wilmington visitors center planned at park district office

BY MARY BASKERVILLE Shaw Media Correspondent WILMINGTON—Travelers and locals will find a trove of information about sights to see, foods to taste and history to learn when the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce opens a visitors center inside the Wilmington Island Park District Office.

Park District Director Renee Chavez said the new district office is a good location to host the center because of

its great visibility on Water Street and because the center is staffed many hours each day. Restrooms also are available.

The space at 315 N. Water St. is flanked by windows visible from the street. Chavez said current plans call for brochures and a dedicated touch screen computer that will feature links to area businesses and attractions.

Wilmington does not have a visitors center now. The new facility would open later this

year, although a date has not been set.

“I think it sounds like a good idea,” Commissioner Tom Glenn said during a park board meeting Thursday.

Chavez presented the plan, indicating it is still developing and specifics will need to be worked out with the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce before the park board votes on the agreement.

A main advantage is that in addition to offering space for brochures and computerized

information, park district staff will be able to interact with visitors, she said.

The park district anticipates receiving a grant from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources that could provide up to $100,000 to be used for both summer and yearround help, she said. Setting up the displays and updating the computer would be a natural fit for the young people, she said.

Chamber President Wes Smith said Friday that many

in the community may benefit from learning more about local offerings.

“It’s just a way of getting some more visibility,” Smith said. A chamber committee is working on the final designs for the site, he said. The goal is to open “just as quickly as possible.”

Smith, president of the chamber since February, said he is looking forward to seeing the new visitors center once it is completed. “I’m as excited as anybody else.”

Textile collection week kicks off Monday Goodwill, Will County partner for reuse, recycle efforts

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Will County’s annual textile collection event kicks off this week, with organizers hoping to exceed last year’s collection totals, said Marta Keane, recycling specialist for Will County.

Blankets, gym shoes and other items can be dropped off for re-use or recycling Monday through Friday at the Will County office building at 302 N. Chicago St. in Joliet. Col-

lection bins will be set up in the front lobby during normal business hours from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Last year, the county collected more than 3,000 pounds of textiles from residents by partnering with USAgain, a business that reuses and recycles fabrics, clothing and shoes.

This year, Keane hopes to exceed that amount.

While the county is accepting clothing, linens and towels, people also are encouraged

to bring in unwanted items with stains, broken zippers, rips or missing buttons, she said.

The county partnered with the national nonprofit Goodwill Industries this year. At the end of the week, Goodwill will sort through the items, and ultimately sell clothes and fabrics in good condition.

Other items deemed not reusable will be recycled, she said.

“If [Goodwill] can’t resell them, those items can be re-

used in some way,” she said.

“They can be used as insulation in homes, soundproofing in cars or as factory rags. Cotton can be recycled over and over again.”

She said she hopes Goodwill benefits from this year’s collection efforts.

Goodwill on Friday will collect additional items – including small furniture, lamps, small working appliances, paintings, photo frames and other home goods – to sell in its stores.

Friday also will feature a live radio broadcast on location by WJOL-AM with morn-

ing host Scott Slocum promoting the event.

The collection program is put on each year by the Will County Resource Recovery and Energy Division. The program started in 2006 with recycling gym shoes but expanded to all textiles in 2010.

The annual event’s overall goal is raising awareness, Keane said.

“A lot of people don’t realize you can donate anytime of the year. I always get emails from people asking, ‘When is your next event?’ ” Keane said. “By us having this event year after year, it raises awareness.”

Plainfield taking volunteerism to a new level

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Village Administrator Brian Murphy considers Plainfield a community of volunteers.

When he first arrived in the village, he was pleasantly surprised to see how important serving the community was to residents.

“I’ve worked in five other places. But what really impressed me here was how they step up to volunteer and help out through churches, neighborhoods and schools,” Murphy said, adding that the village gets so many requests from local groups looking for areas to volunteer that staff

has had to compile lists of community service opportunities.

Plainfield’s inaugural The Big Serve event – scheduled for May 17 and 18 – taps into that enthusiasm and could become the largest volunteer event residents have seen.

The Big Serve is a collaboration between the village, Community Christian Church and several other local government and service organizations.

From 1 to 4 p.m. May 17 and 18, residents of all ages can work on varied volunteer projects that help community members in need of assistance.

Projects include providing assistance for the homeless, senior residents, foster children

and food banks.

Participants will be treated to a free picnic at the end of the event May 18.

The village board presented a video of The Big Serve during a regular meeting Monday with trustees encouraging residents to sign up and contribute.

Trustee Margie Bonuchi encouraged freshmen, sophomore and junior level high school students to sign on and spice up their college resumes with community service.

“You can’t wait till a month before you apply for a scholarship,” Bonuchi said.

“

I thought, ‘I’m going to die here if I don’t get out.’

I just prayed to the Lord that if I die, it’s OK. I’m ready. I told God I wasn’t afraid to die. But I prayed for him to either take me or get me out of here.

That was my mentality at that point.”

Sarah Dean A trauma nurse who was involved in a bus accident while on a mission trip in Bolivia in March Lathan Goumas — lgoumas@shawmedia.com

• NURSE

Continued from page 3

She’s optimistic about her upcoming appointment with Dr. Todd Kuiken at the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago, considered one of the best rehabilitation centers in the country. Kuiken, who serves as director of RIC’s Center for Bionic Medicine, specializes in prosthetics, she said.

“I don’t know what’s in store for my injury, but it’s one day at a time.

It’s one moment at a time. Their goal, as my team, is to get me back into my career field, whatever that may be,” she said. “If anything, I can relate to a trauma patient more than ever before because I’ve walked through it. Maybe I can do counseling with them or pain management education. I don’t know what’s in store.”

The big picture Dan Hennenfent, executive director of the Sheridan, Ill.-based Cup of Cold Water Ministries that Dean traveled to Bolivia with, said he’s amazed by the progress Dean has made since returning to the U.S. “Of course, there are days of discouragement, but in the big picture, Sarah is coming out even more capable and stronger than would have been thought otherwise,” Hennenfent said.

“Looking ahead for Sarah, I think having lost part of a limb will only allow her to help even more people.”

Dean’s mother, Cindy Dean, said she’s grateful for the love and support the family has received, and the care her daughter received overseas. She’s optimistic about Sarah eventually returning to her career as a trauma nurse or in a similar field.

“Sarah will continue to wait on the Lord and watch for opportunities to serve and help people as she has done in the past,” she said. “She is a nurse.

And that’s what a great nurse does.”

Sarah Dean said the accident also put everything she had been doing in Bolivia up to that point – saving the lives of those who otherwise have little access to health care and building upon her own relationship with God – into focus.

Chicago man sentenced for 2011 murder

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, April 27, 2014

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 25-year-old Chicago man was sentenced Friday to 50 years in prison for the 2011 murder of Dwight Jones, a New Lenox Township resident.

Rodney Julun was found guilty by a jury earlier this year for beating Jones, 59, to death just outside his home three years ago.

Judge Daniel Rozak handed down the sentence Friday, according to a news release from the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. Rozak described the crime as “senseless” and a “cold-blooded and brutal act.”

Julun beat Jones in 2011 in the head with a brass lamp, wrapped him in a sheet from Jones’ bed and doused him with gasoline. According to evidence presented during the trial, Julun also stole the man’s car, cash, cellphone and other valuables.

Julun returned to the home the next day with two other men to steal additional items.

During the trial, Julun claimed Jones lured him to his home and raped him, and that his actions were out of self-defense. Prosecutors argued Julun rode with Jones from Chicago’s South Side to New Lenox Township with the intent to rob him.

Julun told police several different stories about the events leading up to the murder – inconsistencies that helped lead to his conviction, according to the news release.

Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow praised the work done by prosecutors and the sheriff’s detectives on the case, saying the investigation led to Julun’s conviction, according to the release.

A spokeswoman for the Will County Public Defender’s office, which defended Julun, had no comment regarding Friday’s outcome.

A lightning strike gouged out a chunk of concrete near a flagpole at Joliet Junior College’s main campus last year.

“We’ve had similar situations here, where you see a lightning bolt way off in the distance and wonder who is going to make the call.

“With this system, we don’t have to make a call. If this thing goes off, everyone takes shelter.

That’s just the way it is.”

According to the company’s website, Thor Guard works by using a sensor and computer to measure and analyze the

electrostatic field in the atmosphere, where lightning originates.

The four alert stations for the system are set up on the central, north and south portions of campus, as well as at the greenhouse on Houbolt Road. The system will be active daily from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.

Once the system determines that the threat of lightning has passed, the strobe light will

cease and the horn will sound three five-second blasts to announce that it’s safe to resume outdoor activities.

JJC is one of three Illinois colleges to utilize the system.

It’s also used on many golf courses, according to the Thor Guard website.

While the system is primarily designed to protect JJC students and staff, it also serves as a weather warning for anyone living near the college. The college recently passed out about 1,000 fliers detailing how the system works to nearby residents.

People nearby when the horns sound are advised to take shelter in a building or vehicle.

The system’s real time data can be monitored online at jjc. thormobile2.net.

While an individual’s odds of being struck by lightning are fairly remote, ground strikes occur all the time.

“We had a lightning strike on campus last year that hit a flagpole and put about a foot hole in the concrete,” Vasil said.

JOLIET – Your chances of being struck by lightning are about one in a million.

But your chances of being struck by lightning while at Joliet Junior College are even less now that the college has installed a new lightning alert system.

Anytime a 30 percent possibility of lightning strike occurs within a 2.5 mile radius of the main campus on Houbolt Road, JJC’s new Thor Guard Lightning Prediction System will sound a 15-second horn blast. The horn will be audible within a half-mile radius of the campus. In addition to the horn blast, the system also will trigger a visible yellow strobe light.

“This is an actual lightning prediction system,” said Ed Vasil, the college’s environmental, health and safety manager. “It tells you 8 to 20 minutes beforehand that lightning is coming because of the atmospheric con-

ditions. This is going to predict it even before it strikes.”

Anytime the system is triggered, the college will halt outdoor college athletic activities and events, and participants will be asked to move indoors.

Protecting athletes and spectators was a key reason that JJC decided to install the $23,000 system, Vasil said.

“The problem with athletics is the decision on who is going to call the game in case of lightning,” Vasil said.

In the past, the decision to halt play usually would be made by a referee or coach based on either a lightning sighting or an alert from a hand-held lightning detector, Vasil said.

Stopping game play sometimes can be a tough decision, Vasil said. He recalled attending a children’s soccer tournament last year where an umpire had to halt 14 games because of the threat of lightning.

“I’m watching this poor referee call the game and everybody is moaning,” Vasil said.

Joliet teen shot by stepbrother Girl will recover; boy arrested

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 15-year-old playing with his father’s gun shot his 15-year-old stepsister through the neck Thursday, police said.

“The girl will recover. It didn’t hit anything vital. It’s amazing. She literally dodged a bullet,” Lt. Brian Dupuis said.

Just before 2 p.m. the boy called 911 to report the accident in the 7600 block of Sugar Maple Drive in the Clublands subdivision.

Police arrived to find the

girl “sitting on the stairs, alert and responsive,” Dupuis said.

The teens had been home alone when the boy began playing with the pistol, which he thought was unloaded, Dupuis said. The victim was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center. The father has a valid firearm owner’s identification card.

After consulting the with Kendall County State’s Attorney’s office, police arrested the boy on charges of aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and aggravated discharge of a firearm.

Why Do I Hear But Not Understand?

Are you among the 1 in 6 Adults suffering from hearing loss?

CALL NOW for a FREE hearing evaluation: Do you sometimes feel people are mumbling or not speaking clearly? Do you ind it diicult to follow a conversation in a noisy restaurant or crowded room?

If so you might be interested in some recent indings.

The most common type of hearing loss is sensorineural, in which the inner ear becomes damaged. Sound travels through the ear canal, the ear drum (tympanic membrane), the middle ear, and is transmitted to the inner ear (cochlea). As sound-generated vibrations enter the cochlea, they cause microscopic hair cells to vibrate, which transmits neuro-electrical impulses to the brain. When these hair cells become damaged, they cannot vibrate appropriately. The resulting impulses to the brain are incomplete, making comprehension diicult or impossible.

If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation because of damaged hair cells (auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted. In other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing too. While damaged hair cells are irreparable, compensation is possible.

Using “visual speech mapping” and “real ear measurement” processes, the highly trained hearing instrument specialists at AccuQuest Hearing Centers (a national network of over 185 locations) can target regions of frequency loss and compensate for damaged hair cells. This targeted stimulation of neurons can aid in making speech comprehensible again.

ROMEOVILLE – Players and coaches from local and traveling youth basketball teams playing in the Nike Invitational tournament said the new Romeoville Athletic and Events Center is a shorter drive and a better overall basketball experience.

Illinois teams, including the Goldrush Celtics and Rise, are attending the three-day invitational along with Mac Irvin Fire and Mean Streets, Amateur Athletic Union teams based in Chicago. The tournament runs through Sunday.

Teams from 10 other states also are playing. More than 100 boys and girls teams for age groups 12 to 17 are participating. Several Division I, Division II and community college coaches also attended.

“This facility is shaping up to be very nice,” said Illinois

we got to get used to that.”

The invitational comes a month after the athletic center opened March 23. The center was built to be a catalyst for future development in the village.

During summer months, the center transforms into a basketball playground with six portable basketball courts.

Two more are in an auxiliary area.

The invitational brought too many teams for the center, so regulation courts at Romeoville High School and several middle schools also were used.

“A big facility like this is what lets us bring so many teams,” said invitational co-director Mike Irvin. “The coaches like the location, too, because it’s so close to O’Hare and has easy access.”

Sunday is the last day of the tournament and will feature bracket and championship games.

Bike path in Diamond will provide safe routes for schoolchildren biking and walking paths.

The village of Coal City and Coal City Community Unit School District 1 applied for a separate grant that would add new sidewalks throughout the district.

“We want to encourage our kids to walk or bike to school in a safe way,” Superintendent Kent Bugg said. “[The bike path] only enhances that opportunity for us.”

The main purpose of the path is providing a safe route for school children, but Kernc said everyone is encouraged to enjoy the new bike path.

The grant was awarded earlier this month, so the village is still in the process of finalizing contracts with IDOT, but Kernc said the hope is to have the path completed by the end of this year.

“Once it gets started, I think it will get done quickly,” Kernc said. “We want to have it ready for everyone’s enjoyment as soon as possible.”

DIAMOND – More than 200 children living in the Diamond Estates and Farmstone subdivisions in Diamond will travel a safer route to school thanks to a newly funded bike path.

The village was recently awarded more than $160,000 from the Illinois Department of Transportation to construct the path, which will connect the subdivisions to existing sidewalks in Coal City school district’s Safe Routes to School travel plan.

“This is the perfect grant for us so we can make this project happen,” Diamond Mayor Terry Kernc said. “We have truly embraced the Safe Routes to School in Diamond.”

The asphalt path will be about 1,600 feet long, beginning at Amber Lane, running north and east to the Claypool Drainage Ditch and continuing on to McGinty Street. The path will

include a wooden foot bridge across the drainage ditch for easier crossing.

The total project will cost about $200,000 with the remaining $40,000 to be funded locally.

Constructing the bike path was made a priority last year after a resident complained to the village board that children in Diamond Estates had no safe routes to walk or bike to school.

“That made me realize that we needed to move this project along faster and look for some grants,” Kernc said.

Diamond was one of several communities awarded grant money through the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program – a federally-funded, program that encourages transportation-related projects.

In all, the state issued $52.7 million in ITEP funds for local transportation projects like the bike path in Diamond.

Kernc said the goal is to connect all the neighborhoods in the village with safe and scenic

Ex-NFL quarterback Earl Morrall dies at 79

By STEVEN WINE The Associated Press MIAMI – Earl Morrall stepped in when the 1972 Miami Dolphins needed him most. And then he willingly stepped aside, earning enduring admiration from his teammates and coach Don Shula.

Morrall, who started 11 games during the Dolphins’ perfect season and spent 21 years as an NFL quarterback, died Friday at age 79. He had been in failing health for some time.

“There would be no perfect season, and probably no Super Bowl win in 1972, without Earl Morrall,” Bob Griese said Friday.

When Griese broke his ankle in 1972, Morrall came off the bench and started the final nine games of the regular season. Morrall won praise from Shula for returning to the sideline without complaint when Griese came back to play in the final two postseason games, including the Super Bowl to cap the only perfect season in NFL history.

Morrall also played for the 49ers, Steelers, Lions, Giants and Colts, winning three Super Bowl rings. He came off the bench to replace an injured Johnny Unitas and help the Colts win the Super Bowl to cap the 1970 season, and he was the backup to Griese on the Dolphins’ 1973 championship team.

Morrall also was the starting quarterback opposite Joe Namath in the 1969 Super Bowl after guiding the Colts to the conference title and winning the league’s MVP award. He struggled in that famous 16-7 loss to the Jets, throwing key interceptions, and was benched during the second half for Unitas.

The ’72 Dolphins were led by such future Pro Football Hall of Famers as Shula,

This 1972 photo shows Earl Morrall when he was the Miami Dolphins quarterback. Morrall, an NFL quarterback for 21 years who started nine games during the Dolphins’ perfect season in 1972, has died at age 79.

Griese, Larry Csonka and Paul Warfield, but their season might be long forgotten if not for Morrall, then regarded as a journeyman who looked the part with his old-school flattop haircut.

That’s why Shula – who also coached Unitas and Dan Marino – held Morrall in special regard as a quarterback.

“When Bob went down, Earl stepped in like nothing happened, and we just won all the games,” Shula said in a 2007 interview. “Then Griese was healthy for the AFC championship game against Pittsburgh, and I put Bob in the second half and he helped us come from behind and win the game.

“Then I had a decision to make, which to me has always been the toughest decision I’ve ever had to make – who to start in the Super Bowl.

Earl had done such a great job to get me there, but Bob was my quarterback going into the season, and he was my quarterback of the future. So I figured as long as Bob was

healthy and ready to go, I was going back to Bob. “So I’ve always said Unitas, Griese and Dan Marino are in the Hall of Fame, and Earl is in my own personal Hall of Fame.”

Griese said Morrall acknowledged he didn’t like Shula’s decision, but accepted it.

“He said, ‘I don’t agree with you, but whatever you think is best for the team, I’ll go along with it,’ ” Griese said. “That’s the way Earl was throughout his career.

“He was the most popular guy in the locker room because of his personality. He always had a smile, a good word, a pat on the back, whether he knew you or didn’t. He was just an upbeat good guy.”

The 1972 Dolphins finished 17-0, but Morrall said they seldom dwelled on their perfect record as the season progressed because they were focused only on winning the Super Bowl after losing in the title game the previous year.

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – A proud father visiting his son in Afghanistan spent what would become both men’s final days seeing the city where the younger man ran a small clinic, drinking tea with a university colleague and learning about his son’s work.

A planned visit to a Kabul hospital brought them together with a third Illinois man, a doctor who shared their interest in the Afghan people and a faith-driven commitment to helping others.

Gary Gabel of suburban Chicago and his son, John Gabel, were killed Thursday when an Afghan police security guard opened fire on the group as they entered the grounds of a hospital in Ka-

bul. Also killed was Dr. Jerry Umanos, a pediatrician from Chicago. John Gabel’s wife, Teresa, also an American, was wounded.

What prompted the guard to fire on the Americans was not clear, but recently there have been a number of so-called insider attacks – incidents in which Afghan security forces fire on their comrades or foreign trainers or civilians.

Violence increased in Afghanistan ahead of the NATO withdrawal and also in the weeks leading up to the country’s April 5 election.

Whether the couple’s young daughter, Laila, and John Gabel’s mother, Betty, were along for the visit to the Cure International Hospital remains unclear. Umanos, who trained young doctors and cared for pediatric patients at the hos-

pital, had invited the family as his guests.

“Giving back to those in need was special to all the Gabel family,” Arlington Heights Mayor Thomas W. Hayes told The Associated Press. The mayor said he’s known the family for 25 years as members of the Orchard Evangelical Free Church in Arlington Heights, and learned of the deaths first “through the church grapevine” and then from a church email to members.

Gary Gabel sang in the church choir, was involved with church youth groups and the leadership team. Hayes coached John and his own son, both now in their early 30s, when they played on a church basketball team. John, who was tall, was the team’s center.

Hayes described the church

Great Lakes meeting takes aim at invasive species The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The governors of eight states surrounding the Great Lakes and the leaders of two Canadian provinces agreed Saturday to join forces to combat invasive species including Asian carp.

Amid disagreement over the best long-term solution and how to pay for it, the mutual aid deal reached Saturday empowers the states and Canadian provinces to share staff and expertise to do what they can to keep Asian carp from reaching the Great Lakes and imperiling the fishing industry.

“The threat of aquatic invasive species transcends borders, and this agreement allows us to address this threat through collaboration and cooperation,” said Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, co-chairman of the Council of

Great Lakes Governors.

Saturday’s final round of meetings in Chicago between the council and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec also addressed improving maritime transport and attracting Chinese and other foreign investment in manufacturing in the region.

The bighead and silver carp species have infested much of the Mississippi River basin since escaping from southern fish farms in the 1970s. They are threatening to reach the Great Lakes through rivers and canals, leading the federal government to spend millions to try to stop them. They are a menace to the aquatic food chain because they eat enormous amounts of plankton needed by native species.

The main disagreement over how to stop the fish centers on the idea of physically

separating the Great Lakes and Mississippi watersheds by placing structures in the Chicago-area waterways that offer an aquatic pathway for the carp to reach Lake Michigan.

There is strong opposition to that approach in Illinois and Indiana.

But the talk at the two-day meeting at Chicago’s Shedd Aquarium was of cooperation.

“We may come from different shorelines, but challenges go beyond our borders,” said Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, the council’s other co-chairman. “As leaders of the region, we come together as champions for our beloved Great Lakes.”

The Great Lakes council is made up of the governors of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

as a close-knit group, which has grown over at least four decades to 2,000 members in four suburbs.

“It’s going to be a very difficult time tomorrow morning, I can tell you that,” Hayes said of Sunday’s church service.

Family and friends grieved privately Saturday. The Associated Press left phone messages for Gabel family members that weren’t immediately returned.

“Out of respect for the Gabel family, we don’t have anything to say at this time,” church spokeswoman Claire Bechard said in an email to the AP. She confirmed the Gabels are church members.

Kabul University vice chancellor Mohammad Hadi Hadayati remembered John Gabel as a “good friend” who worked for the Colorado

Springs-based charity Morning Star Development and ran a small health clinic that provided a pharmacy and emergency care for the students, professors and employees.

John Gabel had directed the clinic for two years under an agreement between Kabul University and Morning Star, Hadayati said. A phone message left with Morning Star Development on Saturday was not immediately returned.

“We have lost a great man, a great teacher, a man who was here only to serve the Afghan people,” said Hadayati, who had lunch with the whole family the day before the attack.

“I was very honored to meet John’s parents,” Hadayati said. “Both his mother and father were so proud of their son.”

STATE BRIEFS Chicago woman killed after anti-violence event

Credit union robber gets 20 years in prison

CHICAGO – A woman who had just attended a fundraiser for an anti-violence organization was shot to death in Chicago.

Thirty-two-year-old Leonore Draper was shot in the arm and chest inside a car in the West Pullman neighborhood on Friday night.

The Cook County Medical Examiner’s office said she died after being taken to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn.

Friends and relatives said she had just attended a fundraiser for a youth anti-violence organization called Project Orange Tree.

Draper was one of at least four people killed in Chicago since the start of the weekend. More than two dozen other people were wounded in shootings across the city.

The dead also included an 86-year-old man shot by an off-duty police officer during an argument between the two neighbors.

URBANA – A Kankakee man was sentenced to nearly 21 years in federal prison for the 2009 robbery of the Shapiro Development Center Employees Credit Union.

Brian O. Williams was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Urbana on Friday and ordered to pay restitution of more than $284,000.

The 37-year-old Williams pleaded guilty April 17 to one count of aggravated bank robbery and one count of brandishing a firearm.

Williams admitted that on June 16, 2009, James Williams drove him and Frank C. Black to the credit union where they threatened employees with violence and took $276,000.

Brian Williams was sentenced to serve more than seven years in prison while Black was ordered to prison for nearly six years.

Rauner says developmental center should stay open The ASSOCIATED PRESS CENTRALIA – Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner said Saturday he supports keeping open a center for people with developmental disabilities in Centralia that his opponent is trying to close.

The Winnetka businessman, who faces Gov. Pat Quinn in the November election, met with relatives of residents at the Murray Developmental Center and told them they should have a choice in their family members’ care.

Quinn, a Chicago Democrat, has supported closing some state-run institutions, including the Murray Developmental Center, and transferring disabled residents into community-based care as part of a strategy to save money and improve the quality of care for residents.

Rauner’s campaign issued a statement Saturday claiming Quinn decided to close Murray Center “without ever visiting the facility.”

“It is irresponsible to close Murray Center unless we can make absolutely certain that

In Today’s Herald News

the most vulnerable residents are being cared for in an environment that is as good as – or better than – Murray Center,” Rauner said in the statement.

“Right now, Murray Center is the best option for these families.”

Quinn’s campaign spokeswoman Izabela Miltko called Rauner’s visit and announcement “shameless.”

Murray was scheduled for closure last year. But some parents of developmentally disabled adults are waging a court battle to keep open the center, which serves about 250 residents.

Those parents involved in the legal challenge don’t represent all families of the developmentally disabled, said Tony Paulauski, executive director of the Arc of Illinois, an advocacy group for people with intellectual and other developmental disabilities. He said most families support closing “antiquated state facilities.”

“Young families I meet with, the last thing they want is to have a son or daughter in an institution,” Paulauski said.

By MICHAEL MELIA The Associated Press HARTFORD, Conn. – A teenager charged with stabbing a fellow high school student to death on the day of their junior prom is being held in a hospital under psychiatric evaluation where he will likely remain for two weeks, one of his attorneys said Saturday.

The name of the 16-yearold suspect was not officially released, but people who saw him taken into custody identified him as Chris Plaskon, a friend of the victim’s and an athlete described as genial and respectful.

Plaskon is accused of stabbing to death Maren Sanchez, 16, in the hallway of Jonathan Law High School in Milford.

The attack occurred Friday morning, hours before the

school’s junior prom, and authorities were investigating whether Sanchez was stabbed after turning down his invitation to the dance.

The suspect, who is charged as a juvenile offender, will not appear at an arraignment scheduled for Monday in New Haven, attorney Richard Meehan said.

The hospital commitment can last for up to 15 days, according to Meehan. He said doctors typically order such involuntary commitments in cases where someone in custody is considered a danger to himself.

Meehan said the suspect’s family also is reeling from the attack.

“His family is devastated not only for him, but the youngster who was killed.

It’s a terrible situation all the way around,” Meehan said.

His client is expected to be charged as an adult, but he would need to appear in court for that to happen, Meehan said. State’s Attorney Kevin Lawlor said several factors go into that decision, including the seriousness of the charges.

Mark Robinson, a technical education teacher, said he was walking into the high school Friday when he saw Plaskon being taken out in handcuffs. He said Plaskon, the third of five brothers, was on football teams that he coached when Plaskon was a freshman and sophomore. He said Plaskon has a good sense of humor and the family has deep roots in the community.

“There’s no reason to suspect he would have done this.

I think that’s what makes it harder,” Robinson said.

Imani Langston, a student who saw Plaskon being read

his rights and taken away in a police car, said he is known to be a class clown and had never been violent. She said Sanchez and the boy were just friends and had never dated.

Police said they were looking into reports from students that the suspect had asked Sanchez to prom and were examining whether a rejection prompted the attack, but they have not offered a motive for the killing.

“It’s all being investigated,” Officer Jeffrey Nielsen, a spokesman for Milford police, said Saturday. “We don’t work off speculation. We work on facts.”

Sanchez, a member of the National Honor Society who was active in drama and other school activities, had been focused on prom in the days before she was killed. She had posted on Facebook a photo-

graph of herself wearing a blue prom dress and was looking forward to attending with a new boyfriend.

At school Thursday, Sanchez and a friend talked excitedly about their plans for the upcoming dance.

“We were just laughing, talking about what we were going to do when we got there, how many pictures we were going to take,” Langston said.

The dance was postponed indefinitely and students instead gathered Friday night for a candlelight vigil, with counselors on hand for anyone who needed them.

Michael Mele, the school’s drama adviser, said he knows Plaskon from classes and seeing him in hallways.

“He always came across to me as a very respectful student,” he said. “I mean, clearly, something snapped.”

Law aims to boost halal, kosher food for poor

By JEFF KAROUB The Associated Press DETROIT – For the first time, the federal government is required to purchase and provide food banks emergency supplies of kosher or halal products, serving a population whose survival could otherwise be at odds with strictures of faith.

The void was first revealed in the wake of Superstorm Sandy, which wreaked havoc on the East Coast in the fall of 2012 and led to food shortages for those most in need.

A Jewish philanthropic organization in New York alerted lawmakers to the rising numbers of people coming to its food banks and often finding shelves devoid of kosher offerings. That led to legislation aimed at boosting emergency supplies for food prepared in accordance with Jewish and Muslim dietary rules, and, after some unsuccessful attempts at passage, the measure was

tucked into the sweeping federal farm bill signed into law in February.

“This amendment is going to go a long way toward ensuring that folks who are struggling to get by ... don’t have to choose between religious beliefs and putting food on the table,” said U.S. Rep. Joe Crowley, a New York Democrat who worked on the measure. “No one should have to make those kinds of decisions.”

Federal agriculture officials now must implement the novel law, which requires them to buy food prepared in accordance with the faiths’ dietary rules but isn’t more expensive than regularly produced food. Then, it must be tracked through the distribution chain and properly labeled to ensure it gets to food bank operators and meets the needs of their clients.

The U.S. Agriculture Department’s challenges include gauging the demand and finding vendors that can supply the appropriate amount of food to

AP photo

A volunteer labels food provided by the Yasmeen Bakery on Friday in Dearborn, Mich. keep it cost-neutral.

“These are the factors that affect the feasibility of being able to get foods in the program,” USDA spokeswoman Brooke Hardison said. “This is a process that’s going to take some time.”

Both kosher and halal refer to centuries-old dietary codes of each religion. The dietary

laws predominantly deal with three issues: Some animals like cattle and finned fish are allowed, while others like pork and shellfish aren’t. Blood must be drawn out of meat before it’s eaten. Meat and milk can’t be mixed.

The general understanding for halal is that products shouldn’t be contaminated with

pork or alcohol and that livestock is slaughtered in accordance with Islamic law. Similar to kosher practices, Islam requires the animal is killed with a single slash to the throat while alive. It’s intended as a way for animals to die swiftly and minimize pain.

The USDA currently buys some kosher and halal foods but not in an organized, regulated fashion. It’s hard to know how soon the full effort can launch or how successful it will be, but a test run that predates the Farm Bill’s passage is underway.

The New York City-based Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, which says it operates the nation’s largest kosher food pantry, expressed a desire to distribute kosher canned salmon. Agriculture officials say market research suggests the price should be comparable to non-kosher salmon already offered to the federal Emergency Food Assistance Program, and the agency expects to start deliveries in July.

“We the people...” declared the script inside her U.S. passport – now with four holes punched through it from cover to cover. Her departure from life as an American was stamped on the same page: “Bearer Expatriated Self.”

With the envelope’s arrival, Tapanila, a native of upstate New York who has lived in Canada since 1969, joined a largely overlooked surge of Americans rejecting what is, to millions, a highly sought prize: U.S. citizenship. Last year, the U.S. government reported a record 2,999 people renounced citizenship or terminated permanent residency; most are widely assumed to be driven by a desire to avoid paying taxes on hidden wealth.

The reality, though, is more complicated. The government’s pursuit of tax evaders among Americans living abroad is indeed driving the jump in abandoned citizenship, experts say. But renouncers – whose ranks have swelled more than five-fold from a decade ago – often contradict the stereotype of the financial scoundrel. Many are from very ordinary economic circumstances.

Some call themselves “accidental Americans,” who recall little of life in the U.S., but long ago happened to be born in it.

Others say they renounced because of politics, family or personal identity. Some say signing away citizenship was a huge relief. Others recall being sickened by the decision.

At the U.S. consulate in Geneva, “I talked to a man who explained to me that I could

never, ever get my nationality back,” says Donna-Lane Nelson, whose Boston accent lingers though she’s lived in Switzerland for 24 years. “It felt like a divorce. It felt like a death. I took the second oath and I left the consulate and I threw up.”

When Americans do hear about compatriots rejecting citizenship, it’s more often people dropping that of another country.

Last year, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz acknowledged the Canadian citizenship he was born to, but said he would renounce it. In 2012, Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minnesota, saying she was “100 percent committed to our United States Constitution,” announced she was giving up Swiss citizenship gained through marriage.

One of the few times rejected U.S. citizenship has gotten significant ink was Facebook co-founder Eduardo Saverin’s 2011 decision to turn in his American passport after moving to Singapore. Saverin likely avoided millions of dollars in taxes by doing so shortly before Facebook’s initial stock offering.

Other wealthy Americans also have relinquished U.S. citizenship. Denise Rich, the exwife of pardoned trader March Rich, expatriated in 2012 and lives in London. Last fall, singer Tina Turner, a resident of Switzerland since 1995, relinquished her U.S. passport.

But Saverin’s decision, in particular, hit a political nerve, along with scandals surrounding UBS and Credit Suisse, which were caught matching wealthy Americans with offshore accounts.

In recent years, federal officials have stepped up pursuit of potential tax evaders, using the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act which requires that Americans overseas report assets to the IRS or pay stiff penalties. Those trying to comply complain of costly fees for accountants and lawyers, having to report the income of non-American spouses, and decisions by some European banks to close accounts of U.S. citizens or deny them loans.

Yet at times, the president has tempered his tough talk in an attempt to avoid antagonizing Beijing.

To the chagrin of the Japanese, Obama said the U.S. would not pick sides in the sovereignty claims at the heart of the region’s territorial disputes. He repeatedly declared that the U.S. is not asking Asian allies to choose between a relationship with Washington and Beijing.

“I think there’s enormous opportunities for trade, development, working on common issues like climate change with China,” Obama said during a news conference in Tokyo. “But what we’ve also emphasized – and I will continue to emphasize throughout this trip – is that all of us have responsibilities to help maintain basic rules of the road and an international order.”

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – President Barack Obama is hopscotching through China’s neighborhood with a carefully calibrated message for Beijing, trying both to counter and court.

During visits to U.S. allies, Obama has signaled that American military power can blunt Chinese aggression in the Asia-Pacific region, even as he urges Beijing to use its growing clout to help resolve international disputes with Russia and North Korea.

The dual tracks underscore Beijing’s outsized importance to Obama’s four-country swing through Asia, even though China is absent from his itinerary.

The president opened a long-awaited visit to Malaysia

on Saturday, following stops in Japan and South Korea, and ahead of a visit to the Philippines.

Obama’s trip comes at a tense time for the region, where China’s aggressive stance in territorial disputes has its smaller neighbors on edge.

There also are continued questions about the White House’s commitment to a greater U.S. focus on Asia. In an affirmation, Obama is expected to sign a security agreement with the Philippines clearing the way for an increased American troop presence there.

In Tokyo, Obama asserted that a treaty obligating the U.S. to defend Japan would apply if Beijing makes a move on a string of islands in the East China Sea that Japan administers but China also claims.

Sanctions loom as observers held

By PETER LEONARD The Associated Press SLOVYANSK, Ukraine – As Western governments vowed to impose more sanctions against Russia and its supporters in eastern Ukraine, a group of foreign military observers remained in captivity Saturday accused of being NATO spies by a pro-Russian insurgency.

The German-led, eight-member team was traveling under the auspices of the Organization of Security and Cooperation in Europe when they were detained Friday.

Vyacheslav Ponomarev, the self-proclaimed “people’s mayor” of Slovyansk, described the detained observers as “captives” and said that they were officers from NATO member states.

“As we found maps on

them containing information about the location of our checkpoints, we get the impression that they are officers carrying out a certain spying mission,” Ponomarev said, adding they could be released in exchange for jailed pro-Russian activists.

Outside Slovyansk, a city about 90 miles west of Russia, Ukraine government forces continued operations to form a security cordon as it attempts to quell unrest threatening to derail the planned May 25 presidential election.

The U.S. and other nations in the Group of Seven said in a joint statement released Friday night by the White House that they plan to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia in response to its actions in Ukraine.

The West has accused Russia of using covert forces to encourage unrest in Ukraine

and says Moscow has done nothing to pressure pro-Russian militias to free police stations and government buildings in at least 10 cities across the region.

Condemning Russia’s earlier annexation of Ukraine’s Crimea Peninsula, the G-7 said: “We will now follow through on the full legal and practical consequences of this illegal annexation, including but not limited to the economic, trade and financial areas.”

The European Union also is planning more sanctions and ambassadors from the bloc’s 28 member nations will meet Monday in Brussels to add to the list of Russian officials and pro-Russian leaders in Ukraine that have been sanctioned with asset freezes and a travel ban.

The foreign military observer team detained by

pro-Russian forces was made up of three German soldiers, a German translator and one soldier each from Czech Republic, Poland, Sweden and Denmark. Germany’s Defense Ministry said the team also included five Ukrainians.

Tim Guldimann, the OSCE’s special envoy for Ukraine, told German public radio WDR on Saturday that “efforts are being made to solve this issue.” He declined to elaborate.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier called Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov late Friday to press for the release of the observers. In a statement released Saturday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry said it was taking “all measures to resolve the situation,” but blamed the authorities in Kiev for failing to secure the safety of the team.

Benedict to join in double sainthood ceremony

By FRANCES D’EMILIO The Associated Press VATICAN CITY – Retired pontiff Benedict XVI will help Pope Francis celebrate the sainthood ceremony Sunday for John Paul II and John XXIII, setting the stage for an unprecedented occurrence of two living popes canonizing two of their predecessors.

About 1 million pilgrims are expected at the event and many were flooding into Rome on Saturday.

Vatican spokesman the Rev. Federico Lombardi told reporters Saturday that Benedict will be in St. Peter’s Square for the canonization of John and John Paul. He said Benedict and many cardinals will “concelebrate” the Mass with Francis.

Benedict resigned from the papacy a year ago, and since has largely dedicated himself to prayer in a monastery on the Vatican grounds.

Sunday’s appearance will be his highest-profile one since he retired. Francis, who lives elsewhere in Vatican City, in a guesthouse, has been quite welcoming to his predecessor, occasionally paying a call on

Priests sing and dance Saturday in St. Peter’s Square at the Vatican.

Pilgrims and faithful are gathering in Rome to attend Sunday’s ceremony at the Vatican where Pope Francis will elevate in a solemn ceremony John XXIII and John Paul II to sainthood.

Benedict. It was Francis who sought to include Benedict in Sunday’s ceremony, expected to draw hundreds of thousands of tourists and pilgrims.

“Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI has accepted the invitation, and has let Pope Francis know that he will be present tomorrow morning at the canonization ceremony and will concelebrate” along with other prelates, Lombardi said.

“That doesn’t mean that he will go up on the altar” on the

steps of St. Peter’s Basilica, Lombardi said of the outdoor Mass. He noted that during the ceremony, cardinals and bishops will be seated on one side of the esplanade, with, presumably, Benedict, among them.

“We will all be happy to have his presence” at the ceremony, the Vatican spokesman said.

Benedict also showed up to Francis’ ceremony to elevate churchmen to the rank

of cardinal in February. But that ceremony wasn’t a Mass, meaning Sunday’s appearance by two popes would be the first Mass concelebrated by two pontiffs, one reigning and the other retired.

As German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Benedict presided over John Paul II’s funeral in the square in 2005.

He was soon elected pontiff himself, going on to lead the ceremony to beatify his Polish-born predecessor in 2011, also in the square. Beatification is the last formal step before sainthood. It was John Paul who, early in his papacy, appointed the German prelate to a key Vatican post in charge of safeguarding church teaching, and eventually, also dealing with the mounting cases of sexual abuse of minors by priests in the United States and elsewhere.

Benedict has a connection to John XXIII’s papacy as well. As a young theologian, he attended the Second Vatican Council, the gathering of prelates from around the globe that the Italian pope set up as a way to bring modernizing reforms to the Catholic church.

Crash kills five NATO troops in Afghanistan The ASSOCIATED PRESS KABUL, Afghanistan – A British helicopter crashed in southern Afghanistan on Saturday, killing five NATO troops in the single deadliest day this year for foreign forces as they prepare to withdraw from the country, officials said.

The British defense ministry confirmed that all five of the dead were British. Maj. Gen. Richard Felton, commander of the Joint Helicopter Command, said the crash appeared to be “a tragic accident.”

In Kabul, an Afghan university official identified two Americans killed by a local policeman at a hospital in the capital earlier this week. The shooting was the latest by a member of Afghanistan’s security forces against those they are supposed to protect.

The cause of the helicopter crash was not immediately known. Kandahar provincial police spokesman Zia Durrani said the aircraft went down in the province’s Takhta Pul district in the southeast, about 31 miles from the Pakistani border. The coalition said it was investigating the circumstances of the crash but said it had no reports of enemy activity in the area.

Saturday’s crash was one of the deadliest air accidents involving Britain’s forces in Afghanistan. In September 2006, a Nimrod surveillance aircraft exploded in mid-air while supporting NATO ground operations near Kandahar, killing all 14 servicemen on board.

A Taliban spokesman claimed in a text message to journalists Saturday that the insurgents shot down the helicopter.

“Today, the mujahedeen hit the foreign forces’ helicopter with a rocket, and 12 soldiers on board were killed,” spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said.

The insurgents frequently exaggerate death tolls in their attacks and falsely have claimed responsibility for incidents before.

Thoughts on myRA: It’s not worth it Dear Mr. Berko: I have a bachelor’s degree in history and a master’s in sociology.

I teach at a public school and made $39,000 last year. My wife also has a college degree.

She is a waitress at a nice restaurant and makes about $25,000 a year.

My pension plan is lousy.

We don’t have individual retirement accounts, because making the investment choices is so complicated and the brokers we talked to were pushy and short with us. We can save a few thousand dollars a year and need honest help with how to invest in an IRA. Could you recommend someone to us?

And what do you think about the new myRA plan, which is being offered by the Obama administration? – DR, Waterloo, Iowa Dear DR: MyRA may soon be recognized as one of the biggest jokes and public flops ever to come out of Washington.

The designers of this farce were tasked by the Obama

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko administration to bring an affordable retirement plan to the public in order to expand participation and eventually provide workers with modest and meaningful assets to augment their retirement.

The administration figures the average participant will contribute $50 every two weeks in the government’s bond fund.

If so, in a dozen years, a myRA will be worth slightly over $15,000 and must be rolled into a Roth IRA with a brokerage firm.

Now, do you really think most people earning $9 to $16 an hour give a fig or ficus about myRA? Everyone knows that when push comes to shove, the government will be there at retirement time, passing out checks for food, housing, cellphones, health care, utilities, etc.,

every month like clockwork.

MyRA won’t fly because most Americans live paycheck to paycheck and don’t have $50 or the discipline to invest every two weeks.

Also, that money will be taxed when it must be moved into a Roth IRA, and that poor schnook won’t have $15,000 to roll over. Furthermore, a dozen years hence, that $15,000 will be a meaningless amount, one that will barely buy bupkis or bananas.

Today the federal myRA department has 33 employees, and as certain as summer follows spring, within a few years the myRA bureaucracy will expand to thousands of employees, having a budget in the billions and a data center generating enough paperwork to sink an aircraft carrier. Mark my word.

Sadly, Merrill Lynch, UBS, A.G. Edwards, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, J.P. Morgan and Bank of America don’t want anything to do with folks like you. You’re the green-behind-the-ears

bumpkin. You’re the great unwashed, and those imperial brokerages feel they may get their hands dirty.

These brokerages don’t look down their noses at you; rather, they look down their chins at you. And they’ve conveniently forgot that it was only a few years ago when they were down on their knees in the dirt, begging Washington for help.

But don’t fret, because you’ve still got access to all the goodies Wall Street has to offer at a much lower cost – and sometimes at zero cost.

There’s a TD Ameritrade within easy driving time of your home. That brokerage has no maintenance costs and no minimum IRA investment.

ShareBuilder doesn’t have any maintenance costs or minimum investment, either.

Scottrade, also close by, has no maintenance fees but a $500 minimum. And Vanguard, which employs good folks, has no maintenance fees but a $1,000 minimum.

Deadbeats doing best this year as stocks stall The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Financial markets rarely stick to the script, and this year is no different.

Investments traditionally considered safe bets such as utilities, gold and government bonds were supposed to flop in 2014 as investors started to pour money into higher-risk, higher-growth stocks that would benefit from a pickup in the economy.

Instead, these safe investments are among the year’s best performers. Utilities, for example, are up more than twice as much as the nextbest sector in the Standard & Poor’s 500 index.

The surprisingly strong returns from these so-called havens are happening for several reasons. In the U.S., a se-

From overseas, worries about China’s economy are growing, and chaos in

Ukraine has increased global political tensions. Those drags on the market have left the Dow Jones industrial average down 0.5 percent and the Nasdaq composite off 1.2

percent for the year. The S&P 500, meanwhile, has eked out a gain of 1.5 percent.

Safe and steady assets have fared much better.

Power companies in the S&P 500 are up 11.4 percent this year, making them the best performers in the index by far. The next-best performer is up 5.2 percent, and that’s energy stocks.

Investors buy utilities when they are worried about stock market volatility or the outlook for economic growth.

Typically, utility stocks rise less than others when the overall market is climbing, but they fall less when prices are down. These stocks also pay big dividends, which are attractive to investors, particularly when bond yields are historically low, like they are now.

you with those confusing investment choices, and I’m certain each will recommend several mutual funds, preferably no-load funds.

Because there are so many more bad mutual funds out there than there are good funds, you might still be in front of the metaphorical eight ball. So I’ll make your investment decisions a bit easier.

Call for appointments and visit a couple of those brokerages. I doubt they will subject you to any selling pressure as would a salesman from Wells Fargo or Bank of America.

Ask both of the brokers you interview to give you prospectuses on the funds they recommend. Then send me an email with the fund names, and I will get back to you as pronto as possible with the best choices for you.

BUSINESS BRIEF GM awarded former CEO about $9M in 2013 DETROIT – Former General Motors CEO Dan Akerson’s compensation fell 18 percent last year to just over $9 million, which the company said was because of the timing of stock awards.

Akerson, who stepped down in January, earned $1.7 million in salary, the same as in 2012, but his stock awards fell by almost $2 million to $7.3 million.

Spokesman Tom Henderson said the decline wasn’t based on his performance.

Akerson’s short-term stock awards were bumped up in 2012 in anticipation of his 2014 retirement, and he gave up some long-term stock awards for 2013 when he retired in January, Henderson said.

Keep tax rates for Ill. transportation Planning for transportation is all about building and maintaining momentum.

Here in Illinois, we have experienced a run of momentum in recent years like few other states.

Under Gov. Pat Quinn since early 2009, the Illinois Department of Transportation has been delivering projects at a record pace, thanks to the largest capital program in Illinois history, the six-year, $31 billion Illinois Jobs Now! initiative. To date, IDOT has awarded nearly 6,200 transportation projects worth more than $15 billion, creating and supporting 190,000 jobs since Illinois Jobs Now! was approved in 2009.

Projects that languished for years waiting for a financing champion, such as the Illiana Expressway, the South Suburban Airport, the intermodal station in downtown Joliet and the widening of Interstate 80 to New Lenox, all have come to life, creating jobs, improving mobility and promoting economic development.

We need to keep that momentum going in order to build upon our success and the world-class system of transportation we have created in Illinois. That’s why the governor’s proposed budget is so important.

Over the past five years, the governor and the General Assembly have cut general spending by $5.7 billion, achieved landmark pension reform legislation and reached the most costeffective collective bargaining agreement in history. Because of these hard steps, Illinois is in a stronger financial position today.

Gov. Quinn’s proposed budget sets the stage for an even healthier long-term financial future. The rat-

GUEST VIEW Ann L. Schneider ings agencies have already weighed in, describing the governor’s plan as one that will “provide a basis for the state to achieve fiscal balance.” The centerpiece of these plans is maintaining the current income tax rate, while providing homeowners relief with an annual $500 property tax refund each year.

Why is all this good for transportation in Illinois?

All big-ticket infrastructure repair or construction requires financing. For IDOT to take on larger projects with confidence, the state needs to be in strong fiscal shape to ensure Illinois has the best possible bond rating to help secure the lowest financing costs.

The construction costs of IDOT projects wouldn’t change, but the cost of financing them could. An improved bond rating could save the state tens of millions of dollars a year in bonding costs.

Worst case, without agreement on the Quinn budget plan, projects currently in the planning stages could wind up getting delayed and deferred simply because we could not reasonably afford the financing to move them forward.

This could have an impact on two projects of great interest in this region – the Illiana Expressway and the South Suburban Airport.

The Illiana Expressway is at an especially critical point.

IDOT currently is negotiating with private developers on the terms of a financing agreement to build and operate the road. Those negotiations are

A new push for sensible gun laws?

Last week, as the cherry blossoms made their annual debut in Washington, D.C., the Capitol marked another anniversary: A year ago, Congress failed the nation by refusing to fix our broken gun background check system.

In the year since, tens of thousands more Americans – our mothers, our fathers, our friends – have been killed with guns. Many of them would still be with us if a minority of senators hadn’t blocked progress.

By the way, this is not a tough political issue. Fully 90 percent of Americans, including 82 percent of gun owners and 74 percent of NRA members, think every gun buyer should pass a criminal background check.

So why has progress been so difficult, while 33 more of us are murdered with guns each and every day?

For decades, the National Rifle Association has been the only game in town. Its grassroots strength is real; its members care, and they

VIEWS Donna Brazile vote; and the group rewards and punishes candidates with financial support. Without an effective counterbalance, members of Congress who want to do the right thing know they face the wrath – and the money – of the NRA, perhaps the toughest special interest around. So they avoid the issue.

But all that is starting to change. After the Newtown, Conn., shooting, a group of moms, mayors, gun violence survivors and citizens who just want their kids to come home from school each night are building a new movement for gun safety. And it’s already showing that we can win – and do no damage to the Second Amendment.

Enter a new organization called Everytown for Gun Safety, which recently announced plans to build

the kind of counterweight we need to offset the power of the NRA. This coalition of mayors and more than 1.5 million grassroots supporters is already winning major victories where it counts: in states nationwide.

In Washington and Wisconsin, this group helped lead the fight to pass laws that will remove guns from the hands of domestic abusers.

In Tennessee, members beat back a law that would have allowed open carrying of loaded guns in public parks – where our kids play. And just this week, they persuaded Gov. Jan Brewer of Arizona – no bleeding-heart liberal – to veto two bills that would have allowed guns in government buildings, and would have severely penalized local officials who passed common-sense gun laws.

They’re also doing the real work of an effective movement: building the grassroots. The group’s Gun Sense

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Thank you to St. Joe’s for caring for family member To the Editor: On behalf of my sister-in-law Isabel “Ibby” Elberts who passed away on March 20, I would like to extend a great big thank you for the care she received at Presence St. Joseph Hospital while on the orthopedic and ICU floors. The doctors, nurses, aide, pastoral care and specialists that were called in during her stay were so very kind to her.

We would especially like to mention her ICU nurse Miranda Kennedy who treated her like her grandmother. Miranda was very giving and caring, a great asset to Provena Hospital.

Even though modern medicine could not heal Ibby’s injuries and health issues, she was treated with care and understanding of her needs and desire.

After five days of care, she was then moved (per her request) to Joliet Area Community Hospice Home. Her care during her final few days was top notch. When Dr. Orenic came in to see Ibby and asked her if she needed anything she said, “No thank you, the girls are just wonderful here.”

From her entire team of care, we extend a big heartfelt thank you.

Each of you are angels.

Also a thank you to all the family and dear friends that stopped by the hospital and Joliet Hospice to visit Ibby. She never wanted to close her eyes and sleep as “I don’t want to miss seeing my friends.” You sent her

Same-sex parenting harms children To the Editor: Good public policy on placing children in foster homes needs to be based on sound research.

We now know that same-sex parenting harms children.

University of Texas sociology professor Mark Regnerus recently completed a study that found stark differences between adults that were raised as children by traditional married parents and those in homosexual homes.

Problems from homosexual homes included poverty, depression and abuse. The study used

“gold standard” methodology with a large randomly selected sample measuring 40 different categories and was reported in the July 2012 edition of “Social Science Research.”

The study found 69 percent of those raised in lesbian homes were on welfare compared to 17 percent for those raised in traditional homes. Twelve percent from lesbian homes thought about suicide compared to five percent for traditional homes.

Only 61 percent from lesbian homes became heterosexual compared to 90 percent from traditional homes. Twenty-three percent from lesbian homes were touched sexually vs. 2 percent from traditional homes.

Twenty percent from lesbian homes have a sexually transmitted infection vs. 8 percent from a traditional home.

Loren Marks of Louisiana State University, writing in “Social Science Research,” said previous studies finding no problems with gay parents used small samples

Colo. background check law sets a good example • BRAZILE Continued from page 37 Voter project aims to mobilize fully a million Americans to pledge to support candidates who will fight for common-sense gun laws.

And Michael Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York City and founder of the group, has personally pledged $50 million through the midterms to offset the NRA’s election spending. That means candidates will finally have what they need: someone who will have their backs when they

take risks to keep people safe.

It’s also important to keep talking to gun owners, whose concerns are genuine, and who deserve respect. A good place to start that conversation is Colorado. Last year, that state – which has a strong tradition of gun ownership, and a libertarian streak a mile wide – passed a law requiring background checks for all handgun sales.

In the short time that law has been in place, more than 160 prohibited gun buyers have been blocked. They were felons, domestic abusers, the seriously mentally ill, and others who have no business with

a firearm. And as Coloradans know all too well, it only takes one to devastate a family, a community, a nation.

At the same time, Coloradans bought more guns in 2013 than in any previous year.

The lesson here? Background checks work. Colorado is a lot safer today. And the Second Amendment is firmly in place.

deliberately selected to give a particular result and looked at fewer categories for a shorter time.

The newest study – which is from Canada’s Simon Fraser University published in the December 2013 edition of “Review of Economics of the Household” – used a large and diverse sample. It found children raised by gay or lesbian couples are only 65 percent as likely to have graduated from high school as their peers raised in married biological families.

Laws and court decisions that relied on previous flawed studies should be changed. Gov. Quinn’s administration needs to reverse its wrong policy toward Christian charities providing adoptions and foster homes.

This family-affiliated tavern is a refuge for many and deserves recognition. It goes beyond normal business transactions. At “Cheers,” everyone knows your name, moderation is evident and it’s friendly and upbeat.

The proprietors “Anna” and “Sam” treat everyone like family and care about their customers.

All are treated equally. I was informed that “Anna” would help with food in her kitchen, if you need help, and in any way she could. “Anna” and “Sam” give free buffets for anyone during the holidays.

As a participant of a 12-step program for many years, I know the healing always helps from talking it out with someone next to you. Most of these programs are successful. “Cheers” right here in Romeoville meets that need many times. I believe people can help people sometime, even without a profession.

The Village of Romeoville is promoting the Uptown Square.

This will become the heart of our village. Our history is in this part of town. We are the “old-timers” of the Hampton Park residents.

We have seen many changes to the good. We are very proud of our past heritage and our leaders. This is a legacy we leave for the future generation.

“Cheers” is located off Route 53 and Alexander Drive. It is a “safe” place to come to relax, drink, and eat their choice of good food and play “pool.”

Everyone knows your name.

Books have been written about “it takes a village.” Our “Cheers” is an example and image that is a source for the future residents.

This friendly tavern illustrates the American way of life, that “all are welcome.”

PREP BASEBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 2, LOCKPORT 0

JCA blanks Lockport on military night “I faced him [Masa] in the summer. I knew he has a good breaking ball.

That’s why I went after the first pitch. I saw it was a fastball, and my eyes got real big.”

Senior pitchers keep scoring to a minimum

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Regardless of your loyalties, a baseball fan could not help but enjoy Joliet Catholic’s 2-0 victory over Lockport on Military Appreciation Night at Ed Flink Field.

The two storied programs and longtime rivals locked up Friday in near-ideal conditions for a classic 1-hour, 38-minute battle.

The backs of the camouflage jerseys Lockport players and coaches wore simply read, “THANK YOU.” From the pregame ceremonies to the patriotic music, the touching rendition of “God Bless America” and the introduction of Lockport area veterans and current servicemen and women, this one had that special feeling.

JCA (14-3) scored twice in the first inning against Lockport senior right-hander Noah Masa, and that was it as far as runs were concerned. Masa settled in, allowing one hit and facing two batters over the minimum after the first inning.

Lockport (9-10) could not give him any offensive support, however, because Hilltoppers senior Brandon Kaminski was a little better. He worked 61⁄3 innings, allowing two hits and two walks while striking out five.

In fact, the Porters put two runners on base against Kaminski only once. In the fourth inning, Tyler Hair walked with two outs and Jake Stanton doubled into the left-field corner. But Kaminski struck out Ryan Dalton on a nasty breaking ball.

“Brandon’s a senior; this was his night,” JCA coach Jared Voss said of Kaminski.

ABOVE: Joliet Catholic Academy’s Rylan Bannon keeps his eye on the ball for a double against Lockport. JCA won, 2-0. BELOW: Vietnam veteran Sgt. Dan Sowonik threw out the first pitch Friday. It was Military Appreciation Night.

“Give credit to coach [Jake] Jaworski and the job he did calling pitches. We seemed to have their hitters off balance.”

“Every day we work on locating pitches,” said Kaminski, who made his third start of the season. “Everything was working. The four-seam fastball, the two-seam, the curve and the slider once in a while.

“Location, location, location.”

Kaminski said the early 2-0 lead and knowing he had the

Hilltoppers’ defense behind him provided a comfort level. JCA turned a 4-6-3 double play after Lorenzo Blazekovich opened the bottom of the first with a single. After an error gave the Porters a runner with nobody out in the seventh, junior right-hander Danny Ehrsam relieved and induced a 6-4-3 double play.

“Our infield is great,” Kaminski said. “I love throwing with them behind me. They are really smooth.”

Second baseman Rylan Bannon, the leadoff hitter, got things rolling when he slammed the first pitch of the game off the base of the right-field fence for a double.

Mitch Boe walked, the runners moved up on a groundout, Nick Dalesandro singled home the first run and Keegan Tyrell’s fielder’s choice knocked in another.

“Their leadoff man is quite a pest,” Lockport coach Andy Satunas said of Bannon, who also belted a long double lead-

ing off the third and lined out in the fifth. “He had a great game.”

“I faced him [Masa] in the summer,” Bannon said. “I knew he has a good breaking ball. That’s why I went after the first pitch. I saw it was a fastball, and my eyes got real big.”

After Bannon caused his havoc, the Hilltoppers had little luck with Masa, who allowed three hits and two walks while striking out nine.

“We know what to expect out of Noah,” said Satunas, whose team lost to JCA 2-1 in the WJOL Tournament early in the season. “Unfortunately, he suffered a tough-luck loss.

“We’re standing toe-to-toe with the best teams. We just need to find a way to break through. We have to find a way to get a productive offense.”

Not much firepower on either side, but quite a night. “’I’ve got a couple friends in the military,” Kaminski said. “I was thinking about them.”

“It was a great game,” Voss said. “Andy [Satunas] has done a great job honoring the veterans like he has. It’s a great idea.”

Plainfield Central bats come alive behind Brechtel

PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Central looked like a different baseball team Friday.

After trailing Plainfield South 5-3 for a week and a half, the Wildcats put together three strong offensive innings in succession en route to an 11-7 Southwest Prairie Conference victory over the Cougars.

South (5-11, 3-6) led 5-3 midway through the second inning when the game was suspended because of foul weather April 15.

Not much was happening in the first couple of innings after the game resumed as Central sophomore right-hander Nick Brechtel matched pitches with South junior right-hander Matt Taller, although the Cougars touched Brechtel for a run in the top of the fourth when Tyler Dickey doubled and Marco Melgoza singled him in.

The script took a 180 in the bottom of the fourth. Austin Weitendorf led off with a single for Central (6-10, 2-7), and Josh Tesch walked, Nick’s Rana’s RBI double made it 6-4 and Christian Armstrong’s two-run single tied it. Taller exited the mound after Matt Ryan, who drove in three runs in the game, walked.

“It’s been a while coming,” said Armstrong, who also doubled during Central’s four-run fifth, which gave Brechtel a 10-6 cushion and a victory in his first varsity appearance.

“We started coming around with our hitting about two weeks ago. It seems like if someone gets one, we all do.”

Austin Blazevic ignited the four-run fifth with a leadoff double. Weitendorf singled, Tesch walked, Rana drove in a run with a fielder’s choice, Danny Brandon singled one in, Ryan hit an RBI groundout and another run scored on an

errant throw.

Weitendorf added a sacrifice fly in the sixth after Matt Bunetta led off with a double and moved to third on Blazevic’s long fly to right-center, with the Cougars’ Dan Enloe making a tumbling catch after a long run.

“We’re starting to swing the bats better,” Wildcats coach John Rosner said. “But we have been facing good pitching.

“We saw Minooka’s three guys, and [Trevor] Henderson and [Shane] Ritter from South, and we played [Plainfield] East this week. [Thursday] against East, we had seven hits and they walked eight and hit four guys. I think we had 19 runners and we scored one run. We lost 6-1.”

Rosner said Blazevic missed two weeks with an injury and “sliding him back into the 4 or 5 slot solidifies the middle of our lineup a little.”

South was shooting for a sweep of the district rivals’ three-game series but was unable to solve Brechtel. In his five innings of work, he allowed four hits and two runs while striking out one and walking one.

He went to three balls on only two hitters. He worked ahead in the count.

“Nick threw strikes and got outs,” Armstrong said.

“He did exactly what we asked,” Rosner said. “He threw strikes and challenged their hitters. We hoped we would make the plays behind him, and we did. If you make the opponent get base hits to beat you, good things can happen.

“Pitching, defense and timely hitting, that’s the game right there.”

South scored its final run in the sixth when Dickey notched his second hit and scored on Ritter’s single.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: MINOOKA INVITATIONAL

Wildcats rally to capture invite title Joliet West takes early advantage, but Tigers fade

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – After falling in the overall championship matches of its initial two tournaments this season, the Joliet West boys volleyball team was hoping to finally capture its first title at Saturday’s Minooka Invitational.

Meanwhile, following second- and third-division finishes in its initial two tournaments, Plainfield Central was looking forward to a top-four showing in this competition.

The two squads indeed put themselves in a position to achieve their goals after the Tigers beat Hinsdale Central in three sets and the Wildcats did the same against Plainfield North in the semifinals.

But while West was able to grab the early advantage by winning the first set in the championship match of the 12-team event, Central wound up with the biggest plaque after rallying for wins in the final two games to claim a 21-25, 25-22, 25-14 victory.

“Both my assistant coach, Joe Kelly, and I couldn’t be more proud of each and every one of the guys,” first-year Wildcats coach Alex Hurlburt said. “They’ve put together a great season so far, and it’s just beginning. I think that the sky’s the limit for us. Most of our guys are serious about improving and are willing to put in their time toward that.

“I don’t know if we realistically expected to win any tournaments after being two months in, but it’s happening, and we’re confident in going forward. It’s been a blast so far. Even though we’re both young coaches, we relate to the boys and respect them in a way that they learn from us and so far we’ve been able to do really well.”

Leading the way for the Wildcats was their returning all-area performer, Tom Poznanski, who, not surprisingly was instrumental in his

team’s comeback win over West.

The senior finished with 18 kills, the majority of those coming in the final two sets, to help the Wildcats bounce back from a loss in their opener.

He was supported in his efforts by players like Noah Randall (29 assists), Gage Wuestenfeld (13 kills), Kyle Oehler (5 blocks) and Gavin Broekema (8 digs).

“It was a team effort all the way around,” Poznanski said.

“I’m super excited about the path that we’re taking since

we’re pretty much a new team with only three returning varsity players. We’re still jelling but we’re getting there.

“I like how we’re really close and how we like playing with each other and I also like our energy, which we use to help us play better. We had so much energy in the third game and that helped to propel us.”

The Wildcats led 11-10 when Poznanski got a kill which kicked off a 10-1 run which ended the drama in the final set. Randall served up

four points to make it 16-10, and then Poznanski served an ace and had two kills during his service while Tyler Spangler added a block and a kill to boost the lead to 21-11.

“This means a lot to me since this was the first tournament where we got to the gold bracket and then took first place,” Oehler said. “We pulled together with teamwork in order to beat very good teams in Plainfield North and Joliet West. We have grown skill-wise exponentially since the first day that we walked on the court for tryouts. We all work together and build one another up to become a very cohesive team.”

In the middle set, the Tigers led 17-15 and things were still tied at 20-20 when Central closed things out with three Poznanski kills and a kill by Wuestenfeld.

The Tigers, who were miss-

ing returning all-area player Brian Lyman because of a college visit, grabbed the early advantage in the opener and held off the Wildcats.

West was paced in its final two matches by Noah Slowik (64 assists, 6 kills), Luke Van Eck (18 kills, 7 blocks), Brett Tacchia (11 kills, 9 blocks), Armani Foster (14 kills), Juwann Jackson (8 kills) and Kyler VanRossum-O’Connell (30 digs).

“We started off the way we wanted to, with a lot of energy, but it started to fade a little in game two,” Tigers coach Jason Herrmann said.

“We started to get down a little bit and people were trying to do too much and weren’t playing as a team. Give credit to them, they started going on a run while we missed too many serves. We ran a different lineup, but it’s a credit to our guys that they stepped up and played.”

Lemont, LWW battle to scoreless tie

Goalies Fritz, Pearson steal the show

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media Correspondent LEMONT – Scoring on Lincoln-Way West’s Audrey Pearson or Lemont’s Kelly Fritz has been awfully tough to do this season.

That was again true Saturday when the two girls soccer teams squared off as the Warriors and Indians played to a 0-0 tie.

Pearson made four saves and tied a program record with her 11th shutout of the season for West (12-2-1).

“Audrey came up with

some huge saves,” West coach Jeff Theiss said. “Lemont is a team with a lot of tradition.

This is about raising our kids’ confidence level. We showed that we can compete with a program and a team of this quality.”

Fritz, meanwhile, made three saves and recorded her ninth shutout of the year.

She still hasn’t allowed a goal this season. Lemont (80-2) has surrendered just two goals on the year, both coming in the season opener against Eisenhower when Fritz did not play.

“We created some opportunities and we put some pressure on them,” Lemont coach Rick Prangen said. “It was a game that we could have won, but a draw isn’t a bad result.

[West] is an organized, tough squad and their keeper made some good saves.”

The Indians took it to the Warriors early on, spending much of the first 30 minutes on the attack.

Kim Jerantowski just missed wide on a header off a Lindsey Mazur corner kick in the 12th minute.

Pearson made a save on a Joy Drassler shot in the 28th minute, then made her biggest play of the match moments

later.

Lemont’s Aleks Mihailovic slipped a pass to Carli Bermele, who got a good strike off from the center of the box.

Pearson was able to get her hands up and bat the shot away, then dive to cover up the ball when a scramble for the rebound ensued.

“All I could think of when the ball came across was that I had to get a piece of it and knock it away,” Pearson said.

“In those situations, you just have to do whatever you have to do to keep the ball out.”

Pearson made another strong save on a Mihailovic shot early in the second half.

The Warriors picked it up

late and nearly stole a victory. Their best chance came off a free kick from just outside the box. Emily Wyskiel sent a dangerous cross into the box, but the Warriors couldn’t get a shot off.

The two teams could meet again in the postseason as they figure to be among the top seeds in the IHSA Class 2A sectional hosted by West.

“I thought we played good,” Mihailovic said. “We put a lot of pressure on their defense and made some good plays. We could have won it, so it’s kind of a disappointment to tie.

“It’s motivation, though. If we play them again, we really want to beat them.”

Marmion Academy 4, Plainfield East 1: Jovany Urbieta collected two hits and provided the lone RBI for the Bengals (8-9-1) in the nonconference loss.

COLLEGE BASEBALL USF 8-8, Holy Cross 5-4: Nine different Saints drove in runs as USF swept the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference doubleheader Saturday.

USF’s two wins, coupled with a Judson loss to Trinity International in the first game of a twinbill gave the Fighting Saints the top record in the CCAC (20-4), one game better than Judson, whose game two result against TIU was still pending at press time.

In the opener, the Saints

jumped on top 5-0 in the first before adding single runs in the second and third. Joe Ruge drove in the game’s first run with a sacrifice fly.

Rick Faron followed with an RBI single and later came around to score via a Holy Cross error. Trevor Cherwin delivered a run-scoring base hit later in the inning before Brad Porter (Plainfield North) crossed the plate on a double steal.

Holy Cross mounted a late rally. After scoring twice in the sixth, they put the tying run on deck in the seventh, but Porter came on in relief of Dan Darling (Coal City) and retired the next three batters to notch his fourth save of the year. Darling, who threw four and a third innings in relief of starter Chris Blatti (Joliet Catholic Academy), earned the win.

In Game 2, the Saints fell behind 1-0 in the first, but answered with three in the second. Porter knocked in the first run with a one-out single and later scored the third run of the frame on a Kyle Burton sacrifice fly.

Charlie Ludolph threw seven innings to earn the win. Ruge and Faron each had three hits in the nightcap.

series switches to mental warfare through physical play, the Wizards are still in middle school, while the Bulls have their master’s degree.

“You look at the past few years, and, yeah, that’s the type of basketball we like to play,” Butler said. “It just fits into our hand and just helps us. It lets us know that the tougher team is going to win, and we think we’re the toughest team.”

They also were the team with more restraint.

“We’ve been through a lot,’’ Mike Dunleavy. “I think we’re in a good place mentally, emotionally, and who knows how long this run is going to go. But I think one thing is for sure: We’re not going to beat ourselves.”

Considering the Wizards are 14-15 without Nene and that he is their third-leading scorer in the series with 17 points per game, the Wizards might have taken steps to beat themselves.

But while several Bulls players are embracing the role of muddying up the game to knock the Wizards off their

WASHINGTON – It seems that Jimmy Butler can’t help but be an irritant these days.

On Friday, it was Washington Wizards big man Nene. He was angry with a Butler handcheck in the fourth quarter, so he attempted a head-butt and a headlock and was tossed from Game 3. The NBA suspended Nene for Game 4 on Sunday.

On Saturday, it was a hotel worker who wasn’t happy with Butler after the shooting guard attempted to pound a couple of keys on a hotel lounge piano.

The worker walked over, covered the keyboard and muttered a couple of words.

There wasn’t a head-butt, but Butler got a laugh.

He’s definitely not finding a lot of love in Washington.

“Yeah, we all know what to do in situations like [Friday] with Nene,” Butler said. “Close game, we need everybody. But more than anything, it just shows that as hard as we play, we don’t ever take things over the top.

That’s a good quality to have, and it shows the character of our team.”

It also shows that, if this

“Yeah, it’s crazy to me how quick people pass judgment to say, ‘Oh, this is who they are.’ ” Noah said. “Every game is different, every situation is

different. They have a lot of physical players, and we try to play a physical game, try to win the game. At the end of the day, it’s the way the referees see it. So their perspective is what matters most, and the only thing we can do is control what we can control, and

that’s to do our best.

“I think we’re just trying to make it as difficult as possible on them. Like I said, they’re a very talented group. They have very few holes in what they do defensively and offensively, and we’re just trying our best.”

Steady Leddy adds skills, depth VIEWS Tom Musick CHICAGO – Nick Leddy’s hockey universe used to be a pretty small place.

Leddy won Minnesota’s Mr. Hockey Award in 2009 as the state’s best high school player. That summer, he was the first-round draft pick of the Minnesota Wild. He then headed to play for the Minnesota Gophers for a year of development. And then, all of a sudden, Leddy’s hockey world changed direction. Geographically speaking, it headed south. Careerwise, it headed north.

At 19 years old, Leddy was traded to the Blackhawks along with veteran defenseman Kim Johnsson. In exchange, the Wild received defenseman Cam Barker.

Since that deal Feb. 12, 2010, Johnsson has retired. Barker’s NHL career flamed out, and he headed to Russia to play in the Kontinental Hockey League.

Meanwhile, at 23, Leddy has won a Stanley Cup championship ring. He’s hoping to win another this season with the Hawks, who have a chance to eliminate the St. Louis Blues on Sunday in Game 6 of the Western Conference quarterfinals.

“I definitely couldn’t have projected this, that’s for sure,” Leddy said. To be fair, nobody could have projected this.

A host of TV cameras will focus on Hawks defenseman

AP photo

Blackhawks defenseman Nick Leddy skates with the puck against the Capitals on April 11 in Washington.

Brent Seabrook as he returns to the lineup Sunday after a three-game suspension for his hit on Blues forward David Backes. Seabrook will play alongside Duncan Keith, who has a Norris Trophy on his résumé and could win it again this year as the league’s top defenseman.

Few, if any, cameras will look for Leddy or fellow steady second-tier defensemen such as Niklas Hjalmarsson, Johnny Oduya and Michal Rozsival. That’s fine with Leddy, who is one of the quietest players in the Hawks’ locker room.

“I’d say I’ve developed a lot here,” said Leddy. “I’m more mature on the ice and off the ice. I would say I have more confidence on and off the ice, as well. More confidence was a huge thing for me.”

Teammates and coaches have noticed. A year ago, Leddy slumped badly in the

playoffs and saw his ice time reduced because of it. This season has been a different story, as Leddy has averaged more than 16 minutes of ice time in the series against the Blues.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville praised Leddy after a win in Game 4.

“I thought he had the puck a lot more,” said Quenneville, a former defenseman who played 13 seasons in the NHL. “He was dangerous off the rush, had a good gap, good patience with the puck and [good] play recognition. I thought he was good.”

If you ask his teammates, Leddy has a chance to be great.

“He’s still a young guy, No. 1,” Oduya said. “That’s something we can’t forget.

He’s been around for numerous years and he has a lot of experience for being that young. I think, for him, he’s been really, really good the whole year.”

Leddy knows he’ll have to work hard to approach the status of Keith and Seabrook.

He watches aspects of Keith’s game and tries to apply them to his own. Mostly, he stays focused on making the right play instead of the highlight-reel play. He has found a home with the Hawks, and this is his favorite time of year.

He never could have projected this.

‘Pure love for music’

The 100-member Lincoln-Way Chorale will perform spring concert

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

If you go

dunland@shawmedia.com

NEW LENOX – When it started snowing April 14, Gregory Day added “Let it Snow” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas” to the Lincoln-Way Chorale rehearsal that evening.

Members, Day said, informed him, “We are no longer amused by snow jokes.” And Day removed the songs from the roster.

Day is the artistic director for the 100-member chorale, now in its 18th season. Its spring concert is May 4 and Day anticipates a full house at the Lincoln-Way West Performing Arts Center, which holds approximately 800 seats.

The chorale’s last Christmas concert came within 42 seats of selling out, Day said.

The chorale’s 2013 spring concert – all selections by Andrew Lloyd Weber – did sell out, and an extra 100 chairs were added.

“We had to turn people away at the door,” Day said.

At this year’s spring concert, the chorale will perform music by George Gershwin, Rachmaninoff, Randall Thompson, “some Shaw-Parker spirituals” and the full-concert version of “Rhapsody in Blue,” played by chorale accompanist Jason Randall of Westmont.

“You don’t hear that very often,” Day said.

Andrea Thompson of Frankfort, chorale member and press secretary, said the chorale is scheduled to sing the following Gershwin selections: “I Got Rhythm,” “Strike Up the Band,” “S Wonderful” and “The Man I Love.”

Soloist Vivian Van Donk of New Lenox will sing “Summertime” from Porgy and Bess. Taelor Brett, of Joliet, and Glenn Kueltzo, of Homer Glen, will sing the well-known duet “Our Love is Here to Stay,” Thompson said.

Also, Vocal-Latte, a 16-member vocal a cappella jazz group within the chorale, will debut that afternoon sing-

ing “Embraceable You,” Day said.

“In addition to that, the first half of the program is going to consist of some very high-level chorale music,” Day said.

Day proudly mentioned two national endorsements: One from the American Choral Directors Association, the other from Chorus America.

Both surprised Day, as he had submitted chorale information to both organizations for critiques and evaluations.

“I thought they’d give us constructive criticism,” Day said. “Little did I realize we’d get back endorsements for

having a very fine choir.”

The sheer variety of members dedicated to vocal music for much of their lives impresses Day, who joined this “professional level” chorale two years after the chorale did a national search for founder Charles Stark’s replacement, Thompson said.

Members of the chorale hail from 16 area communities, Day said, with Thompson adding the age range is so wide that “we probably hit every decade.”

“We have doctors, accountants, nurses, business, teachers: literally everything under

the sun,” Day said. “They all share one thing in common: pure love for music and the wonderful ability to produce it.”

As with many members, singing in choirs has always been an important part of Thompson’s life. She’s sung in college and in church choirs; two of her daughters sang in high school choruses. When the choral formed, Thompson couldn’t refuse the opportunity.

“It’s been a pleasure to see this grow,” Thompson said.

Day credits both his parents with his musical for-

mation. His mother was a championship pianist and his father, who “never had a lesson in his life,” could nevertheless play quite well by ear.

“He would turn on the radio and sit down and play the piano with whatever he was listening to,” Day said. “I got the best of both worlds. I inherited his ear talents and my mother’s drive for excellence.

She had 18 years of lessons and made sure I did, too.”

For five years, the young Day sang in the Moline Boys Choir. When Day reached the eighth grade, “my voice changed and I could no longer sing in the choir.” Day has studied music through the post-graduate level, copy written 46 songs (with his wife Margaret, a lyricist) and arranged more than 200, he said.

According to the chorale website at www.lwac.com, Day has also directed more than 500 concerts for choirs at all age levels through adult, and directed church choirs for more than 30 years, including the Catholic Community of St. Jude in New Lenox.

Day began offering private lessons in piano and voice when he retired from Parker Junior High School in Flossmoor; he now has 41 students.

In his last year, Day defended his decision to retire with a tag line.

“I’d say, ‘I’ve been in school for 51 of my 55 years,’ ” Day said. “They’re finally letting me graduate.”

With the backing of the society member and DAV member Sam Governale, the society donated $1 for every spaghetti dinner sold which amounted to $1,365.

This donation allows the DAV to sustain veterans programs that help stabilize and uplift the veterans of the community.

Some safety-plays can look crazy

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jackie Chan, an action film star who hails from Hong Kong, said, “American stunt men are smart – they think about safety.

But in Hong Kong, if you’ve got the guts, you do it. All of my stunt men have gotten hurt.”

At the bridge table, we have safety-plays. Their aim, usually, is to ensure at most one loser whatever the lie of the missing cards in that suit. Experts know a lot of them; less capable players know far fewer. But, of course, often a safety-play proves unnecessary, because the distribution is docile.

The safety-play that is needed in this deal looks so strange that many would never even think of it. How should South play to guarantee making six no-trump?

West leads the spade 10.

North made a sensible quantitative raise to slam.

Declarer starts with 10 top tricks: three spades, three hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. So he needs only four club winners, not five.

It is tempting to win the first trick in the dummy and call for the club jack (the right play in seven no-trump). And it is true that any time clubs are 3-2 or 4-1, or East has all five, there is no damage done. However, when West has all five clubs, suddenly the contract has died.

South should take out insurance. He should win the first trick in his hand and lead a low club toward the dummy.

At the worst, this costs an overtrick. Here, though, if West wins with his club queen, four club tricks are established. Or, if West plays low, declarer wins with dummy’s 10, plays a heart to his hand, and leads another club toward dummy – mission accomplished.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and plants than the family can enjoy, people often have them delivered to nursing homes or homes for the elderly or disabled, where they can lend a burst of color and good cheer.

Dear Abby: It seems strange to write to you, but I’d like to share this story about how small acts of kindness can multiply.

On a dark, miserable afternoon, I was out grocery shopping.

The woman in line in front of me had two small children and two full carts of groceries. When all her bags were loaded, she began frantically searching in her purse for her car keys. When she couldn’t find them, she realized that, in her haste, she had locked them inside her car. I asked if I could drive her home to get a spare key and she agreed.

I helped her into her house with her bags of groceries, then drove them all back to the store for her car. “How can I ever thank you?” she asked. My reply was,

“No thanks are needed; just pass it on.”

Two weeks later, I was at a party when a couple walked into the living room and the woman excitedly said, “There she is!” It was the woman from the market.

She rushed over and proceeded to tell everyone how we met.

Then she said she’d had her chance to “pass it on.” I asked what she told the person who had thanked HER, and she said, “I said what you did, ‘No thanks are needed – pass it on!’”

Small kindnesses bring big rewards. If anyone has been the recipient of an act of kindness, remember to pass it on. It’s the Golden Rule.

Thanks, Dear Abby – you “pass on” kindness with each column you write. – Living The Golden Rule In Washington Dear Living The Golden Rule: I am a firm believer in passing it on and have long shared that philosophy with friends. However, regardless of how long you preach, the best sermon is a good example.

Eating fish in place of red meat is still good advice Dear Doctor K: Does eating fish help prevent prostate cancer?

Dear Reader: You’ve certainly heard me encourage readers to eat plenty of fish, particularly fatty fish such as salmon and mackerel.

That’s because many good studies have found that people who eat fish frequently have lower rates of many serious diseases, including heart disease and several types of cancer.

A recently published study from the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) was described in the media as coming to the opposite conclusion. I don’t agree, but to explain why, I first need to talk about the substances in fish that are thought to be beneficial for humans.

Fish contain high levels of two omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, which have been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. EPA and DHA also calm inflammation – and inflammation contributes to the development and progression of prostate cancer. That’s why researchers were interested in learning whether these fatty acids might help prevent prostate cancer.

The PCPT measured levels of

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff various fatty acids in the blood of 3,461 men, 1,658 of whom developed prostate cancer during the PCPT study. They found that men with the highest levels of DHA were 2.5 times more likely to develop aggressive, high-grade prostate cancer over a seven-year period compared with men who had the lowest levels of DHA. What could explain these results?

It’s not clear. But the PCPT did not require men to undergo prostate biopsies before enrolling in the study. So, it’s possible that some of the participants already had high-grade cancer before they entered the trial.

Most important, this was not a study of fish consumption at all. It was a study of the levels of certain nutrients in the blood, including omega-3 fatty acids such as DHA. These omega-3s could have come from supplements, from food other than fish, or from fish itself.

It’s also important to put the results in perspective. The

researchers analyzed blood samples from the 1,658 men who developed prostate cancer during the PCPT study. But only 125 of these men – about 8 percent of the total – developed high-grade tumors. The vast majority of men developed low-grade cancer, and DHA levels had no relationship to low-grade cancer. So while high levels of DHA may increase risk of developing high-grade cancer, the actual risk is still low.

Many more men die of heart disease than from prostate cancer.

Eating fatty fish prepared healthfully (poached, broiled or grilled) in place of red meat is a good way to protect your heart. So, if you eat fish, do it for your heart and your overall health.

At this time, there is no evidence that fish prevents prostate cancer. But this new study does not say, as was reported by some in the media, that eating fish increases the risk of prostate cancer.

Dr. Wallace: I think the school administrators are breaking the privacy laws of students. I’m a ninth-grader, and they are always having random locker searches. Once in a while, they do find some drugs and once they found a hunting knife, but mostly they find nothing but books, sack lunches and gym clothes.

It seems like our school principal really loves to waste time searching student lockers. A couple of months ago, he opened mine and found a half pack of cigarettes and a cigarette lighter. This stuff wasn’t even mine.

A friend forgot his new combination lock number so I let him put his stuff in my locker.

My “mistake” cost me a two-day suspension and caused my parents to blow their lids.

If principals can go through our lockers without our permission, aren’t they breaking the law of privacy?

I thought our Constitution was written to protect the rights of all citizens. Why are teens not covered by our Constitution? – Nameless, San Diego, Calif.

Dear Nameless: Teenagers do have certain rights guaranteed by the Constitution, and if they feel these rights are being infringed upon, they can defend themselves in court.

But locker searches wouldn’t make it to the courtroom. The highest court in the land, the United States Supreme Court, made a decision in 1985 that if school officials have a reasonable suspicion of illegal behavior, a student’s locker can be searched without the student’s permission.

So, make sure you

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace never give school authorities reason to search your locker again.

When I was a principal in Garden Grove, Calif., and felt it necessary to search a student’s locker, I always asked the student if he or she would allow me to conduct the search.

Only one student said no.

I called the student’s parents and asked them to be with me while the locker was searched.

I had information that the student had a handgun hidden in his locker. When the locker was opened, a pistol that shot blanks to start track and swimming events was found. Even though the gun could not cause physical harm, the student was severely disciplined by the school and by his parents. The gun was brought to school to impress a possible girlfriend. It was she who alerted me to the potential problem.

Dear Teens: The average teen spends more than 29 hours every week of every year watching television.

Teens are an important audience for advertisers. They have a huge influence on family spending.

But according to the Center on Alcohol Marketing and Youth at Georgetown University, young Americans are exposed to more television commercials for beer than for sneakers, snacks or jeans – sad, but true!

Dear Abby: My father passed away recently. Flowers and plants were sent to the funeral home.

After the funeral mass, the flowers were sent to the cemetery for the gravesite services. Afterward, I was asked to go to the funeral home to pick them up.

When I arrived, I saw my sister-in-law taking the plant her employer had sent into her car.

She said it was HER plant. The next day, my other sister-in-law went to my mother’s house to retrieve the plant HER company had sent.

Abby, I have never heard of this. I thought that because the flowers and plants had been sent to my mother, it should be up to her to decide whether or not she wants to distribute them. After all, she’s the one suffering the greatest loss. What is the proper procedure for plants to be distributed after a funeral? – Christine In Missouri Dear Christine: The plants should be shared. Your mother is not the only person who is grieving. Your sisters-in-law are married to the sons of the deceased, so they should have the plants their employers sent to the funeral.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Follow your instincts to a prosperous future. Plan a trip or redevelop an old goal or creative endeavor. Those you encounter will be glad to lend a helping hand. You are at a crossroads and must prepare for new beginnings.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – If you are looking to move forward in your career, find out everything you can about your chosen field.

Social media, libraries or even your workplace will help you prepare your strategy.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Someone has been singing your praises. You must be ready to take action and prove you are worthy. The window of opportunity for positive change will be small.

Take the plunge.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your creative juices are flowing. Keep yourself active mentally and physically, and get the most out of your day.

Take on new challenges and activities in order to feel motivated.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Variety is the spice of life. Get involved in as many activities and hobbies as you can. The new experiences and friends involved will keep you stimulated and interested.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Make sure you and the other party are compatible before getting involved in a partnership. Rather than act impulsively, spend time delegating work and discovering commonalities. Better to be safe than sorry.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – A loved one could use a little nurturing. If you’re sensitive to the feelings of others, you will gain respect and a valuable ally. Show compassion to everyone.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You can smooth out business relationships by learning more about your colleagues. Be friendly and approachable, but keep your personal information out of the conversation. Instead, listen and learn.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Your popularity is growing. Although you have set a high standard, continue with your self-improvement plans. You will be admired for the positive personal changes you undertake.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Unsettling confrontations can be expected. Complete as much of your work as possible before someone challenges you or goads you into an argument.

You can avoid trouble if you keep a low profile.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Some positive changes are heading your way. An old friend is likely to surface. A phone call or email exchange with this person will remind you of the good times you had together.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Take decisive action at all costs today. You have everything you need, but your dreams will not come true until you have put your plans in motion.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Consider minor changes to your home or lifestyle. Look at your options before making a purchase. Once you have investigated the possibilities, you will make an ideal choice.

Kristin Wiig plays the withdrawn heroine Johanna who finds work caring for the daughter of Ken (Guy Pearce) in the new film “Hateship Loveship.”

‘Hateship Loveship’ a startling turn in fresh start

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post Kristen Wiig has made a career of quiet mortification. Since creating her strange, often quirkily recessive recurring characters on “Saturday Night Live,” then attaining superstar status in the smash raunch-com “Bridesmaids,” Wiig has turned a relatively limited bag of behavioral tics – shy downward glances; whispered line deliveries that trail off into vague nothingness; oblique, off-center staging – into her own highly personal, mousily effective Hollywood juggernaut.

She brings all of those familiar mannerisms to bear on Johanna Parry, the withdrawn heroine of “Hateship Loveship,” although here they’re deployed in the name of literary-minded drama rather than comedy.

Adapted by Liza Johnson from a short story by Alice Munro, “Hateship Loveship” sneaks up on the viewer, not only in the way the story takes its unlikely turns, but in Wiig’s own portrayal of a woman discovering desire and, in the most subtle way possible,

acting on it.

As “Hateship Loveship” opens, Johanna – who has worked most of her life as a domestic aide for one elderly woman – is starting a new job in a new town (“a new everything,” as she describes it), where she will be serving as a housekeeper and nanny for a prosperous businessman named Bill McCauley (Nick Nolte) and his teenage granddaughter Sabitha (Hailee Steinfeld).

On her first day at work, Johanna also meets Ken (Guy Pearce), Sabitha’s father, a raffishly attractive lout whom Johanna walks in on as he’s stealing drugs from his fatherin-law’s medicine cabinet. (All the supporting players in “Hateship Loveship” are terrific, especially the young Sami Gayle, as Sabitha’s best friend Edith.)

Observing the family’s fractured dynamics with a slightly glazed but hungrily avid stare, Johanna begins to be drawn in. The question in “Hateship Loveship” is to what end, and Johnson – who made a superb debut in 2011 with “Return” — does an estimable job of doling out informa-

tion and plot developments so deliberately that the audience is never quite sure what’s around the next corner.

Certainly they get no clue from Wiig’s performance as Johanna, whose cipherlike impassivity at first threatens to make “Hateship Loveship” fatally inert, but then begins to pay off as the film heads to one of the more startling third acts in recent memory.

Before viewers dismiss that denouement as impossibly pat, they should ask themselves: Wouldn’t its opposite number be just as tidy? And haven’t we seen that story before?

But we’ve never seen a protagonist quite like Johanna, who on the one hand personifies female self-abnegation at its most domesticated, but on the other embodies sheer will at its most stubborn.

She knows the value of elbow grease, whether she’s redeeming a dirty kitchen floor or even a scruffier human soul.

• “Hateship Loveship” received three out of four stars and is rated R for drug use, some sexuality and profanity. The film runs 101 minutes.
