By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Park District plans to survey voters next week to see how receptive they are to increasing taxes to pay for park improvements.

Key projects in the proposal include replacing trees throughout the district that have been devastated by the emerald ash borer, improving roads and security at Pilcher Park and renovating 25 playgrounds, district CEO Dominic Egizio said.

“It’s not for salaries or pensions, it’s truly for infrastructural kinds of things,” Egizio said.

The district’s full wish list – which includes additional items such as a recreation center at Nowell Park and a second sheet of ice and training facility at Presence Inwood Athletic Center – would cost about $20.9 million, Egizio said.

“But first we’re trying to get feedback from people to see what they want,” Egizio said.

The district intends to mail an informational packet to all active voter households next week, he said. The packet will include a mail-in survey with a return envelope.

Results of the survey will help the district determine how much funding to seek on a bond referendum in a future election.

Egizio said he wasn’t sure yet if the matter would be placed on the Nov. 4 ballot.

“The next step depends on what the survey tells us,” Egizio said. “It will give us direction on what to do next. If the voters come back and say they don’t want anything, it’s a dead issue.”

To get the question on the November ballot, the Joliet Park Board would have to adopt the measure by Aug. 18, according to the Will County Clerk’s office.

Funding for the entire $20.9 million package would require raising the district tax rate from approximately 37 cents to 46 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, an

The Joliet Park District will survey voters about raising taxes to pay for: • Tree planting and irrigation; • Resurfacing roads and trails and improving security at Pilcher Park; • Repairing and renovating playground equipment, gazebos, pavilions, trails and other amenities at 25 of the district’s most-used parks; • Improving safety and security, including installation of security cameras at Presence Inwood Athletic Club, Hartman Recreation Center, the Multi-Purpose Center and Joliet Memorial Stadium; • Adding indoor recreation and community meeting space at Nowell Park, including a gym, multipurpose community room and wellness area with fitness equipment; and • Adding a second ice skating rink at Inwood and an indoor training facility for soccer, baseball and football south of the center.

“The next step depends on what the survey tells us. It will give us direction on what to do next.

If the voters come back and say they don’t want anything, it’s a dead issue.”

Dominic Egizio Joliet Park District CEO increase of about $21.60 per year on a home valued at $100,000.

Even with the increase, the district rate would still be less than the 54 cents it was 20 years ago, Egizio said. The rate has declined over time as the population in the district increased, he said.

The district’s last major project was the addition of the Inwood Athletic Center and pool, which opened in early 2007. The $12.5 million project, funded through general obligation bonds, did not

require a tax increase. The cost was covered through a combination of existing revenues and funds generated by the new center.

The scope of the earlier Inwood project, initially pegged at $28 million, also was the result of a park district survey.

“I think it’s important to get feedback,” said Glen Marcum, president of the Joliet Park Board. “We need to get the feelings from everyone in the district to see what priorities from them are. We’re on a fact-finding mission.”

JOLIET – The businesses of tomorrow could offer better ways for doing everything from shoveling your sidewalk and tuning your guitar to hydrating your body and burying a loved one.

At least that’s how a group of Will County middle-schoolers see it.

Seventy-three students in sixth through eighth grade participated in the Student Entrepreneur Expo, sponsored by the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry and held Tuesday at the University of St. Francis.

“Inspiring ideas are often born in middle school,” said Bonnie Covelli, co-chair of the expo committee and director of USF’s School of Professional Studies. “A lot of entrepreneurs in their 20s and 30s say they were inspired at that time.”

Alexis Tinoco, a sixth-grader at Hufford Junior High School, could be one of those people.

Tinoco believes he’s come up with a better way for homeowners to clear snow off their sidewalks. It involves paint and electricity.

Tinoco’s Snow Melting Machine involves painting your sidewalk with electrically-conductive paint connected to temperature sensors and a transformer in your garage. When the conditions are right, the transformer sends an electrical current through the paint, causing it to heat and melt any snow that’s accumulated on it.

“I’ve tried it and it kind of works,” Tinoco said. “I have to do more testing, but I’ve been very busy with other things, like soccer.”

Snehal Salni, a sixth-grader at W. B. Orenic Intermediate School, was marketing Ziv Sports Drink, an all-natural alternative to existing sports drinks.

“Gatorade and Powerade are not natural, and they’re all sugar,” Salni said.

His drinks, which he

was presented by the chamber’s Education Committee’s Entrepreneurship Club. The club won the 2013 Illinois Council on Continuing Higher Education Innovation Award for the program.

Students displayed their business ideas to parents, teachers, business members and community sponsors.

“They learn about entrepreneurial initiative,” Covelli said. “They understand how to develop a business plan from planning to execution. The expo gives them a chance to showcase their idea.”

Some of the students’ ideas were highly original.

Daniel Flores and Erik Noon of Hufford Junior High School literally reinvented the wheel by strapping chains to a bicycle tire to create Ice Chain, a device that allows bicyclists to ride on ice and snow without slipping.

Others stuck with triedand-true business models.

Max Martyka, Michael Jurlow and Jacob Mihelich partnered to create M.J.M. Funeral Home, which they hope to market with higher-end caskets and services.

“We want to serve the community in a respectful way,” Mihelich said. “Originally the idea was to make it a little more celebratory, but some things, like ‘Put More Fun in Funeral,’ we decided against using.”

The Entrepreneurship Club is a partnership between local businesses and schools. Students propose an entrepreneurial business concept or provide a solution to a community problem.

“The students really get excited and into it,” said Russ Slinkard, CEO of the Joliet Chamber. “They get to learn the fundamentals of small business in a fun, hands-on program,” he said.

Other schools participating included Dirksen Junior High, Elwood, Gompers Junior High, Holy Family, Laraway, Rockdale, Troy Middle and Washington Junior High & Academy.

Efforts to reopen IYC Joliet underway amid lawsuit

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

State officials are pushing onward with the reopening of the Illinois Youth Center in Joliet as a first-ever facility for severely mentally ill inmates amid pressure from a 2007 federal lawsuit.

DLR Group, a Chicago-based architectural firm, began work April 1 on a feasibility study of the site, just one week after Gov. Pat Quinn first proposed during his annual budget address in Springfield reopening the Joliet youth prison. The study carries a $20,000 price tag.

At the time of Quinn’s budget proposal, aides said the project’s future was dependent on lawmakers making permanent the state’s 2011 income tax hike. However, the Illinois Department of Corrections also is under pressure to repurpose the facility because of a federal lawsuit alleging the state has failed to provide adequate mental health services within an overcrowded prison system.

In an attempt to settle the case, the Illinois Department of Corrections has agreed with a court-appointed monitor to repurpose the 484-bed facility on McDonough Street to provide services for mentally ill offenders, including long-term, residential in-patient care.

The monitor said officials would need to have the Joliet facility reopened “as soon as possible, and certainly within the next 18 months,” according to state purchasing documents dated March 27.

More wet weather expected this week

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

The Illinois Youth Center in Joliet is seen March 27. It could be reopened as a facility for severely mentally ill inmates.

About $1.7 million has been earmarked in the budget this year to begin converting the facility to a new use and $30 million would be needed in the following budget year for operational costs and to transfer inmates to the facility.

Dave Blanchette, spokesman for the governor’s office, said the funding for the renovations will come through the Capital Development Board, but operational costs needed each year thereafter are contingent upon the income tax hike staying permanent.

The state was able to hire the DLR architectural firm through an “emergency purchase affidavit,” exempting

the state from going through the required 14-day solicitation period, according to documents.

The architectural firm’s report will include recommendations on construction scheduling, divisions of work and level of design sufficient to allow competitive bidding and minimal change orders while achieving the earliest possible completion date.

The governor’s office estimates the total cost to repurpose the facility at about $9 million. However, Jake Davis, justice and civic sector project leader at DLR Group, said Tuesday that estimate could change as the firm calculates additional costs asso-

ciated with mechanical code and accessibility requirements.

The state also hired DLR Group in spring 2012 through an emergency purchase to renovate areas of the Illinois Youth Center in St. Charles ahead of the state’s initial shutdown of IYC Joliet. The renovations were in preparation of the state relocating the 132 maximum security prisoners in Joliet to the IYC in St. Charles.

The Joliet facility on McDonough Street was one of several youth centers, prisons and other state facilities closed last year as part of budget cuts and prison restructuring.

More wet weather is on the way this week following Tuesday’s sudden, short burst of hail and gusty winds that hit parts of Will and Grundy counties.

“All this week, most of the severe weather is going to remain to the south and southeast of the area, but we’ll see another round of showers and thunderstorms on and off,” said Bill Nelson, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Romeoville.

No damage was reported Tuesday after a localized line of storms “quickly materialized” just southwest of Joliet, he said. NWS trained spotters reported ¼-inch hail near Caton Farm and Essington roads and dime-sized hail near Interstate 55 and Weber Road.

Winds gusts of more than 40 mph were reported with the storm. It coated lawns and parking lots with thin layers of hail in some areas of Will County before racing north toward DuPage and Cook County.

This week’s forecast • Wednesday: A 30 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 56.

• Thursday: A 50 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 52.

• Friday: A 30 percent chance of showers. Cloudy, with a high near 56.

GET RID OF PAINFUL

School District 17 wants to further discuss TIF proposal

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – The Channahon School District 17 board plans to ask the village of Channahon for some modifications on a proposed tax increment financing district agreement.

The village is working on placing areas around the Route 6 and Interstate 55 interchange in a new TIF district.

A TIF district allows for municipalities to develop or redevelop blighted areas by freezing equalized assessed values and using the monetary difference between the frozen EAV and the new EAV to fix up the areas.

The school board took no action on the proposal during its meeting Monday, and asked staff to work with the village on some changes, such as the option included to extend the TIF after its original lifetime.

Part of the TIF income will be used to reimburse Bluestone, a development company, for rebuilding and realigning the northwest frontage road around its development near Route 6 and I-55. Other TIF dollars would go toward construction on some of the overpass, other frontage road reconstruction, streetscaping and bringing sewer and water lines to the areas east of the interstate.

For school districts and other local taxing bodies, however, the creation of a TIF district means fewer incoming tax dollars than would otherwise be seen.

According to Superintendent Karin Evans and Finance Director Mike Schroeder, the school district’s property tax dollars generated from the TIF district would be frozen at the base EAV of $3.4 million for 23 years. The property dollars generated above that would go toward the improvements.

However, in the agreement between the village and the school, a percentage of those dollars would return to the school after six years.

Evans said it is unusual for a village to involve other taxing bodies in the arrangement of the TIF, and for them to give back a portion is not required by law.

“We certainly appreciate it,” she said.

School board members had concerns with two issues in the agreement: A provision stating the school district could not protest the TIF specifics for the life of the agreement, 23 years, as well as a clause that stated the TIF could be renewed after 23 years.

“I think they should scratch the line that says they can renew it after 23 years,” board member Pat Clower said.

Clower said anything the village hoped to get done in 23 years should get done in that period of time and not be open for an extension.

“If we sit back and allow things to go awry,” Clower said, “they will go awry.”

Schroeder said staff will take the agreement back to the village for discussion.

Real estate abatement discussed The school board also discussed a real estate tax abatement being proposed for Industrial Developments International, IDI, which plans

VARICOSE VEINS AND START LOVING YOUR LEGS AGAIN

on building a logistics center on the northeast corner of Bluff Road and I-55. IDI proposes to build a more than 2 million-square-foot industrial center on 118 acres.

The Channahon Corporate Center would consist of four buildings constructed over 10 years. Village water and sewer lines would need to be brought in to the property, and road improvements done.

The village plans on issuing $4.4 million in 15-year general obligation bonds to fund the improvements. The property tax abatement requested by the village would refund a portion of IDI’s taxes to service the debt on the bonds, Evans said.

The abatement on the first building would be 100 percent in the first year and 50 percent for the following nine years.

There would be 100 percent abatement on the first year for the other three buildings and a 50 percent abatement the following four years.

Schroeder said the abatements wouldn’t affect the school district much since the it only gets $809 a year in taxes for the property right now.

A meeting will be set up with the board, village and the Will County Center for Economic Development to further discuss the abatement.

St. Joe nurses file complaints with national labor board

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A union nurses association says Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center engaged in unlawful actions against its bargaining team in Joliet, an allegation the hospital says isn’t true.

Illinois Nurses Association members are engaged in contract negotiations with administrators at Presence Saint Joseph. On Monday, association officials filed with the National Labor Relations Board an unfair labor practice complaint against the Joliet hospital, saying the hospital refused to release one of its union members for a scheduled contract negotiation meeting last Friday, a meeting that ultimately was canceled.

An information officer with the Chicago branch of the National Labor Relations Board confirmed Tuesday the office had received the complaint.

The complaint also alleges the hospital conducted unlawful surveillance against a member when that person distributed union information outside work hours.

Lisa Lagger, Presence Saint Joseph spokeswoman, responded in an email that the unfair labor practice charges are without merit and create an unproductive distraction.

The nurses association canceled a bargaining session scheduled for Friday when one of its members did not properly plan his time off, she

wrote.

“Multiple alternatives to accommodate the staffing needs of his very busy unit were offered, but these options were turned down,” Lagger wrote in the email.

In the complaint, the union alleges that on or about April 22, Presence Saint Joseph hospital officials violated the National Labor Relations Act

by unilaterally changing the practice of bargaining unit members attending collective bargaining sessions.

The complaint claims that on that same day, hospital officials engaged in unlawful surveillance and photographing of protected union bannering activity. On April 22, union nurses had gathered in an open rally in Joliet to pro-

mote safer nurse staffing levels at the hospital.

The complaint also stated that, last Friday, hospitals officials – with the use of security guards – engaged in unlawful surveillance of union members when they distributed union literature outside of work hours and in a non-work area.

Chris Martin, Illinois

Nurses Association spokesman, said the actions that hospital officials have taken are against federal law and the union hopes the National Labor Relations Board will agree.

“We’re confident that we will prevail,” he said.

Lagger said another negotiation session is scheduled for Wednesday.

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A third psychiatrist will determine whether a man accused of stabbing his mother and dumping her body in the Des Plaines River should stand trial.

Judge Gerald Kinney on Tuesday approved a visit between Charles “C.J.” McCullum, 22, and another expert at the county jail. McCullum is being held on $5 million bond on murder charges in the death of Jeanie Parker, 54, last spring.

Reports submitted by pros-

ecutors and defense attorneys differ on whether McCullum is able to understand he is facing charges in court, or is able to work with his lawyers. Attorneys Kristine Honiotes and George Lenard, working for the public defender’s office, asked to let another doctor meet with McCullum, without objection from the prosecutors.

Kinney’s order also will allow the doctor to bring a laptop computer into the jail and no time limit has been placed on the visit.

Authorities said McCullum and Parker argued in their Fifth Avenue home on March

20, 2013, before he choked her until she passed out. He then left the house, brought back a knife and stabbed her. When that blade bent, McCullum allegedly got a second knife and used a baseball bat to hammer on it until the handle broke.

He then allegedly drove to Bluff Park and threw her body in the water where it remained submerged for three weeks.

McCullum also likely will face a sanity hearing to determine whether he understood his actions when his mother was killed. Prosecutors said those psychiatric evaluations will be part of the trial process.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A dominatrix was the one who got beat up by another woman last year when plans for an erotic photo shoot went awry, police testified Tuesday in court.

Kimberly J. Williams, 46, has been charged with aggravated battery for allegedly striking the then-48-year-old New Lenox woman with a baseball bat Jan. 15, 2013, inside Williams’ Crete Township mobile home. Williams is facing a bench trial this week before Judge Edward Burmila.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Kevin Spencer testified Tuesday that neighbors called police about 1:15 a.m. to Partridge

Lane after hearing screams from Williams’ trailer. Spencer arrived to find the alleged victim laying on the ground with a bleeding “golf ball-sized” lump on her forehead.

After the woman was placed in an ambulance, Spencer and Deputy Patrick Jones questioned Williams, who appeared to be intoxicated, they testified.

The women had made contact with each other on a fetish website when Williams asked about “taking nude photographs to send to her ‘master’ overseas,” Jones said. After meeting at a restaurant and returning to Williams’ trailer, the other woman “demonstrated various dominatrix techniques [on Williams],” Spencer said.

But an argument ensued

Illinois Concealed Carry Permit

and the women began struggling, each telling deputies the other started the physical fight.

Williams reportedly admitted using a wooden softball bat against the other woman, but told Spencer she was acting in defense, he testified.

Williams had a swollen lip when police arrived. The other woman had the lump on her head, a broken wrist and bite marks on both wrists. Spencer told defense attorney Jeffrey Godin he couldn’t tell if other bruises had been inflicted that night.

The deputies also acknowledged they did not interview the neighbors about who was screaming in the trailer.

The trial is expected to continue Wednesday.

JOLIET – A man who was found not guilty of murder for shooting the teen breaking into his apartment will still be heading to prison – for a very brief time.

Lawyers expect Darrel Perkins, 55, will be released on parole within days of being processed into the Department of Corrections after being convicted of delivery of marijuana – the only charge he was found guilty of during a bench trial in February.

Judge Robert Livas on Tuesday sentenced Perkins to 37 months in prison and a year of supervised release.

But the 551 days Perkins has already spent in jail will fulfill almost all of his time

behind bars with “day-forday” credit, assistant public defender Amy Christiansen said.

Perkins, who sold chicken, cigarettes and marijuana from his Lois Place apartment, was watching a football game with friends on Oct. 22, 2012, when Tevin L. Bridges, 18, knocked on the door.

Bridges said he wanted to buy cigarettes but pushed the door open while he was carrying a BB gun that resembled a .45-caliber handgun, according to trial testimony.

Perkins said during the trial he was scared and acted in self-defense when he picked up a gun from the table and killed the intruder.

Perkins did not speak before he was sentenced Tuesday.

57-year-old had serious heart issues; autopsy planned

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

A 57-year-old man died Tuesday afternoon when his van struck a tree on Wesmere Parkway just north of Twin Lakes Drive in Plainfield.

Marion Street commuter lot to be closed Saturday JOLIET – As part of the continued work on the Joliet Gateway Center transportation campus, one day of utility work will be done within the Marion Street Commuter Lot on Saturday.

Commuters will still be able to access and utilize the Marion Street parking lot from Chicago Street, however, a small number of parking spaces will be unavailable at the location of the work, according to a news release from the city.

The New Street viaduct remains closed, and pedestrians will need to use the Scott Street underpass and the Union Station tunnel for access. It is anticipated the drain installation will be completed Saturday, with final asphalt restoration to be completed at a later date.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police say a man cut off a woman’s hair with a butcher knife and kept her from leaving her apartment during an argument Monday.

The 32-year-old victim and

her 12-year-old daughter came into the police station at 4:53 a.m. to report Quincy A. Waddell, 35, according to Chief Brian Benton.

“She’d been held against her will inside the apartment on Ottawa Street. Waddell refused to let her leave, held her

down and cut off her hair using a butcher knife and stabbed her phone,” Benton said.

When Waddell eventually fell asleep while leaning against the front door, the woman and her daughter climbed out the window to go to the police, Benton said. Of-

ficers arrived and found Waddell inside.

Waddell was arrested on charges of domestic battery, unlawful restraint, interfering with reporting domestic violence, vandalism and obstructing justice. He was booked into the Will County jail.

Substitutes get pay raise in Plainfield

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Substitute teachers will be getting raises from $90 to $100 per day effective next school year in Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202.

The district approved the increase Monday night at a regular board meeting. The increase will cost the district an estimated $150,000 per year.

“This was to help keep the pay rate competitive,” Director of Communications Tom Hernandez said.

Hernandez said the district compared its substitute teacher rates with other school districts, including both Joliet districts, Valley View in Romeoville and Bolingbrook, Oswego, Yorkville, Indian Prairie in Naperville and Aurora, and Troy.

Plainfield pays the lowest rate along with Indian Prairie at $90 per day. Oswego, Yorkville and Troy pay $95 per day. Valley View pays $105 per day and both Joliet districts pay $115 per day.

Association of Plainfield Teachers President Dawn Bullock noted that Plainfield

is losing substitutes to other districts.

“We’re certainly glad to see it happen,” Bullock said about the increase. “Right now we experience sub shortages.

They’re going to other districts that pay more. So teachers do internal subbing during plan time.”

That plan time is a vital period during the day where teachers can help out students individually, plan alternate or make-up exams and do other functions related to their jobs, Bullock said. She also said that while the APT has no jurisdiction over substitute teachers, it has advocated for more competitive rates in the past.

“We’ve discussed it and it’s not within our power to bargain or change. But we’re happy the district made the decision,” Bullock said.

The district also sent out a news release outlining a stable economic position.

The operating budget for the district is projecting a surplus of about $1.2 million, up from the budgeted $960,000. If the surplus holds up, it would be the second straight year the district operates in the black since the recession started.

Man to return to prison for having sister buy guns for him

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – A Crest Hill felon who had his sister buy guns for him has been sentenced to nine years in federal prison.

From November 2012 to February 2013, Richard J. Carrino, 29, used his sister Angela as a “straw buyer” to purchase five handguns in Missouri and ship them to him in Illinois, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher McFadden.

Carrino has been convicted of illegally owning a firearm three times since 2002. He also has previously served time for drug possession, residential burglary, shoplifting and theft in Will, DuPage and Cook

counties.

Within months of being released on parole, Carrino sent money to his sister that she used to buy guns from licensed dealers near her home in O’Fallon, Mo. Richard Carrino scratched off the serial numbers of two .45-caliber and a 9-millimeter semiautomatic pistols that he sold to an undercover agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

Richard and Angela Carrino have both pleaded guilty to conspiring to illegally transfer firearms, selling firearms to a convicted felon and making false statements in licensed firearm records. Angela Carrino, 25, is scheduled to be sentenced next month.

education-oriented riders has prompted Joliet Junior College to support the transit system in the amount of $5,000 annually.

GTS expects to receive its first payment from JJC in July and plans to offer an additional Joliet trip each day by this summer, Zerbian said.

“We actually just started picking up one person who is an employee [at JJC] which was the hope all along – that would not just take students but employees, as well,” Zerbian told the committee.

Zerbian attended the city of Morris Finance and Administration Committee meeting Monday to ask the municipality to consider providing a $20,000 donation to the system since about 45 percent of the system’s riders are Morris residents.

we have the ability to afford this.”

New technology also is helping GTS adapt to the growing number of riders.

Grundy County Technology Department employee Dave Ostrander developed a web application for GTS that allows the dispatcher to quickly determine if a rider is within the system’s coverage area.

The dispatcher plugs in a potential pickup address and the app will show where it is in relation to GTS’s allowed bus routes.

“This has been an invaluable tool,” Zerbian told the community relations committee last week. “When our dispatcher started, she’d never dispatched and she didn’t know Joliet so she was flying blind before this. It’s been an absolute life-saver.”

“This is where everybody in the county comes, is into Morris,” Zerbian told the committee.

GTS is funded primarily through two grants – one state and one federal – and is required to find a mandated amount of local matching dollars in order to receive the entirety of grant funds.

Currently, Minooka contributes $5,000 annually and the county $20,000 annually.

MORRIS – The wheels of government can’t keep pace with the wheels of the Grundy Transit System.

It took three years, but GTS last week received a new bus the state promised to provide in 2011. GTS Director Sherey Zerbian said the agency is slated to receive four additional buses – including one hybrid model – that were granted in 2012 by July of this year, but she is not positive those will arrive as planned.

“I’m going to keep good thoughts, but I won’t put anything in stone,” Zerbian said at the Grundy County Community Relations Committee meeting last week.

With the new addition, GTS now has five buses. Zer-

bian said she hopes to use one of the buses as a backup vehicle so the agency does not have to cancel any rides when a bus needs repairs.

“This comes at a good time because our current buses are really racking up the miles,” Zerbian said.

GTS ridership is increasing rapidly and will need the larger fleet to accommodate the growing demand.

Ridership has increased sevenfold from about 1,800 riders in 2009 to 7,964 in 2013.

In just the last eight months, the system provided 7,534 rides, which is a 50 percent jump in ridership comparing it to the same period the previous year.

About 18 percent of all riders are using the transit system to go to and from school.

The growing population of

STATE Illinois Senate adjourns without vote on tax plan

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – An effort to let Illinois voters consider a proposed overhaul of the state’s income tax system died Tuesday in the General Assembly, but there’s still a strong possibility the November ballot could include an unprecedented four constitutional amendments.

The Senate adjourned without taking a vote on Sen. Don Harmon’s progressive income tax plan on the final day lawmakers could take action ahead of a May 4 deadline to get constitutional amendments on the general election ballot.

Harmon said he had support in the Senate for a graduated income tax, which would require wealthier residents to pay higher rate. But majority Democrats wouldn’t risk an election-year tax vote until they had assurances of similar House endorsement, a prospect that fell short.

“It’s a big decision and some folks still had questions they couldn’t quite answer to their own satisfaction,” said Harmon, an Oak Park Democrat.

“With a little more time and education we’re going to be able to convince a supermajority in both chambers.”

A Republican measure to limit statewide executives such

Gov. Quinn’s lawyer acknowledges probe

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – An attorney representing Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration publicly acknowledged Tuesday an ongoing investigation by Illinois’ inspector general of hiring practices under the one-term Democrat.

The topic came up at a status hearing in a civil case in front of the U.S. District Court in Chicago. Attorney Michael Shakman asked in a motion last week for an investigation into Quinn’s hiring practices.

Quinn’s office has said it has “zero tolerance” for violations of hiring procedures.

The scrutiny has arisen at a politically inopportune time for Quinn, who is in a tight gubernatorial race against Republican candidate Bruce Rauner.

Shakman, who spearheaded a decades-long court case leading to bans on political hiring, cited in his filing a Better Government Association report that said Illinois’ Department of Transporta-

tion skirted rules in filling hundreds of positions.

At one point during Tuesday’s brief hearing, U.S. Magistrate Judge Sidney Schenkier asked Quinn administration attorney Brent Stratton whether court documents alluding to an inspector general’s investigation were accurate.

“That’s our understanding that’s correct,” Stratton responded. “It is our understanding there is an ongoing investigation.”

Schenkier said he would like to know the status of the watchdog agency’s probe, though he said the inspector general should be given assurances the governor’s office was not trying to “intrude” by seeking to learn where the investigation stood.

The inspector general’s office typically does not acknowledge ongoing investigations, and spokesman David Keahl declined to comment Tuesday.

Schenkier gave Quinn until June 6 to respond to Shakmen’s motion. The next status hearing is June 17.

as the governor to two terms met a similar fate. Shot down in a Senate subcommittee, it served its purpose by allowing the GOP to campaign against Democrats, including Gov. Pat Quinn, for opposing term limits.

Four other proposed amendments could meet voters at the polls on Nov. 4. That would be unprecedented in a state where voters have been asked about amending the 44-year-old constitution only 21 times, approving 11 of them, according to the Legislative Reference Bureau.

The General Assembly approved two amendment questions – one to strengthen crime

victims’ rights and one designed to stamp out voter suppression.

Bruce Rauner, the Republican candidate for governor, announced that a group he organized to limit legislators to eight years in office, change the size of the General Assembly and limit lawmakers’ ability to override a gubernatorial veto will deliver on Wednesday enough citizen signatures to get it on the ballot. And a group called Yes for Independent Maps says it has enough signatures to let voters decide whether to set up a non-political, independent commission to draw legislative district lines, taking the task out of law-

makers’ hands.

Charles Wheeler III, director of the Public Affairs Reporting Program at the University of Illinois at Springfield, said the authors of the Illinois Constitution limited the ability to change the document. They were fearful of a wide-open process like California’s, where voters can put most anything on the ballot with enough support, he said.

The ballot will only be the second to carry a citizen-initiated question. The other was in 1980, when then-political-activist Quinn persuaded voters angered by a pay raise for lawmakers to cut back the size of the Illinois House.

STATE BRIEFS Chicago police: Girl, 14, killed girl over boy CHICAGO – A 14-year-old Chicago girl accused of killing another girl in a dispute over a boy tried unsuccessfully to fire a gun before someone fixed it for her and handed it back to her so she could open fire, prosecutors said Tuesday.

That detail emerged during a hearing in juvenile court, in which the girl appeared on a first-degree murder charge in Monday’s slaying of 14-year-old Endia Martin.

Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy told reporters earlier in the day that the girls were fighting over a boy.

According to prosecutors, the suspect went to a residence in the Back of the Yards neighborhood on the city’s South Side at about 4:30 Monday afternoon to continue a fight that began on Facebook.

According to a statement read in court and relayed later by the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office, the girl pointed the gun at a group of people standing on a porch and pulled the trigger, but it would not fire. She then

“handed the gun to an individual in the group to clear the malfunction and they handed it back” to her, at which point she opened fire with what police said is a .38-caliber revolver, striking Martin in the back and a 16-year-old girl in the arm. The 14-year-old suspect’s name has not been released because she is charged as a juvenile.

No one else had been charged as of Tuesday afternoon, prosecutors said. However the investigation is continuing, and McCarthy said earlier that two other people had been taken into custody.

His name and cause of death hasn’t yet been released, but officials say he was in his 50s.

Police are investigating.

By ADRIAN SAINZ and JEFF AMY The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Miss. – Ruth Bennett died clutching the last child left at her day care center as a tornado wiped the building off its foundation. A firefighter who came upon the body gently pulled the toddler from her arms.

“It makes you just take a breath now,” said next-door neighbor Kenneth Billingsley, who witnessed the scene at what was left of Ruth’s Child Care Center in this logging town of 6,600. “It makes you pay attention to life.”

Bennett, 53, was among at least 35 people killed in a twoday outbreak of twisters and other violent weather that pulverized homes from the Midwest to the Deep South. The child, whose name was not released, was alive when she was pulled from Bennett’s arms and was taken to a hospital.

Her condition was not known.

As crews in Mississippi and Alabama turned from searchand-rescue efforts to cleanup, the South braced for a third round of potentially deadly weather on Tuesday. Tornadoes usually strike in the late afternoon and evening.

One of the hardest-hit areas in Monday evening’s barrage of twisters was Tupelo, Miss., where a gas station looked as if it had been stepped on by a giant.

On Tuesday, the growl of chain saws cut through the otherwise still, hazy morning in Tupelo. Massive oak trees, knocked over like toys, blocked roads. Neighbors helped one another cut away limbs.

Destroyed automobiles and remnants of homes cover the ground in a south Louisville, Miss., neighborhood Tuesday.

“This does not even look like a place that I’m familiar with right now,” said Pam Montgomery, walking her dog in her neighborhood. “You look down some of the streets, and it doesn’t even look like there is a street.”

By the government’s preliminary count, 11 tornadoes – including one that killed 15 people in Arkansas – struck the nation’s midsection on Sunday, and at least 25 ravaged the South on Monday, the National Weather Service Storm Prediction Center said.

Among those killed was 21-year-old University of Alabama swimmer and dean’s list student John Servati, who was taking shelter in the basement of a Tuscaloosa home when a retaining wall collapsed on him.

His death – and that of at least two others in Alabama – came the day after the third anniversary of an outbreak of more than 60 tornadoes that killed more than 250 people

across the state.

In Kimberly, Ala., north of Birmingham, the firehouse was among the buildings heavily damaged.

Four firefighters suffered little more than cuts and

scrapes, but the bays over the fire trucks were destroyed, and the vehicles were covered with red bricks, concrete blocks and pieces of the roof.

The trucks were essentially trapped, so the town had to rely on nearby communities for emergency help.

Louisville was also one of the hardest-hit areas, with officials reporting at least nine dead in and around town because of a powerful tornado with a preliminary rating of EF4, just shy of the top of the scale.

Sennaphie Yates arrived at the small local hospital to check on her grandfather just ahead of the twister. As the funnel cloud closed in, staff members herded people into a hall.

“They had all of us against the wall and gave us pillows.

They said, ‘Get down and ...

don’t get up,’” she said.

The winds knocked down two walls and tore holes in the roof. Doctors moved some emergency room patients to a former operating room and sent some to other hospitals.

Bennett’s day care center was not far from the hospital.

Her niece Tanisha Lockett had worked at Ruth’s Child Care since it opened seven years ago.

She said all but the one child – a 4-year-old girl who had been in the center’s care since she was a baby – had been picked up before the storm.

On Tuesday, Bennett’s family and those who worked for her stepped over schoolbooks, first aid supplies and a Hooked on Phonics cassette as they tried to salvage paperwork.

“We’re just trying to keep a smile on our faces,” said Jackie Ivy, an employee. “I cried all last night.”

A FedEx employee wearing ammunition draped across his chest “like Rambo” opened fire Tuesday at a package-sorting center outside Atlanta, wounding six people before committing suicide, police and witnesses said.

In addition to a shotgun, the gunman also had an undisclosed number of Molotov cocktails, but he did not use them in the attack, police said.

The suspect, identified by police as 19-year-old Geddy Kramer of Acworth, was found dead inside. He worked as a package handler at the sprawling facility, Cobb County police Sgt. Dana Pierce said.

Investigators have an idea of what his motive may have been, but they were not prepared to disclose it yet, Pierce said.

Three of the victims were critically wounded, though only one remained in critical condition by late afternoon.

Police say three were in stable condition, and two others were treated and released.

Kramer first drove his car to a security shack outside the building and shot a guard there before heading inside, the news release said.

David Titus, a FedEx truck driver, said he was just coming to work around 6 a.m. when he saw a security guard shot in the abdomen. He said he heard more gunfire later from inside the building.

“It was chaos,” Titus said.

“Everyone was running, ducking and hiding, trying to get out of there.”

FedEx clerk Liza Aiken said she was working when she heard something drop, looked to her left and saw the gunman.

“He had bullets strapped across his chest like Rambo” and held a knife, Aiken said at the entrance to a parking

lot where employees had gathered after the attack. Before she could continue, a woman wearing a FedEx jacket told Aiken to stop talking and led her away.

A 28-year-old man who received surgery was in critical condition late Tuesday, while a 52-year-old woman who received surgery was upgraded to stable, police said.

A 22-year-old man’s condition was also upgraded to stable Among the other wounded were a 42-year-old woman and two men, ages 38 and 19.

The gunman’s father, Scott Kramer, released a statement expressing the family’s condolences to the shooting victims.

“Our prayers are for their complete and speedy recovery. Our thoughts are also with all the workers at FedEx who were affected by Geddy’s actions. We make no excuses for his actions and are shocked and devastated by them. There really are no adequate words at a time like this,” Kramer said.

Multiple state and local agencies were working with the FBI to collect evidence at the package center in Kennesaw.

The facility about 25 miles north of Atlanta sorts packages and loads them onto vehicles for delivery. It’s next to the general-aviation airport for suburban Cobb County.

After the attack, police blocked roads leading to the FedEx center. Dozens of workers were taken by car and bus to a skating-rink parking lot to call relatives for rides.

Some family members got out of their cars and hugged the workers. Several employees said they had been told not to speak with reporters.

The company offered no details about the attack, saying only that it was “focused on the needs of our team members and cooperating with the law enforcement investigation of this tragedy.”

NATION BRIEF ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ cast unveiled NEW YORK – “Star Wars: Episode VII” finally has its stars.

May the Force be with them.

After months of carefully secrecy, the cast of the latest incarnation of the space epic was unveiled Tuesday on the official “Star Wars” website by Lucasfilm and the Walt Disney Co. Starring in J.J. Abrams’ new “Star Wars” are: John Boyega, Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, Oscar Isaac, Max von Sydow, Andy Serkis and Domhnall Gleeson.

The companies declined to name the characters each will

play.

They join returning “Star Wars” veterans Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher.

Peter Mayhew also is back as Chewbacca and Kenny Baker will reprise R2-D2.

“It is both thrilling and surreal to watch the beloved original cast and these brilliant new performers come together to bring this world to life, once again,” director and co-writer Abrams said in a statement. “We start shooting in a couple of weeks, and everyone is doing their best to make the fans proud.”

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In a major anti-pollution ruling, the Supreme Court on Tuesday backed federally imposed limits on smokestack emissions that cross state lines and burden downwind areas with bad air from power plants they can’t control.

The 6-2 ruling was an important victory for the Obama administration in controlling emissions from power plants in 27 Midwestern and Appalachian states that contribute to soot and smog along the East Coast.

It also capped a decades-long effort by the Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that states are good neighbors and don’t contribute to pollution problems elsewhere. The rule up-

held Tuesday was the EPA’s third attempt to solve the problem.

The rule, challenged by industry and upwind states, had been cast by foes as an attempt by the Obama administration to step on states’ rights and to shut down aging coal-fired power plants.

Opponents said the decision could embolden the agency to take the same tack later this year when it proposes rules to limit carbon pollution.

EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy has said the agency will be flexible and work with states on the first-ever controls on power plants for the gases blamed for global warming.

On Tuesday, the court upheld a rule adopted by the EPA in 2011 that would force polluting states to reduce smokestack emissions that contaminate the air in down-

adno=0260262

wind states. Power companies and several states sued to block the rule, and a federal appeals court in Washington agreed with them in 2012.

The Supreme Court reversed that decision. Writing for the majority, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg acknowledged the complexity of the problem before the EPA. “In crafting a solution to the problem of interstate air pollution, regulators must account for the vagaries of the wind,” Ginsburg wrote.

The high court said the EPA, under the Clean Air Act, can implement federal plans in states that do not adequately control downwind pollution. But the court also ruled that the EPA can consider the cost of pollution controls and does not have to require states to reduce pollution by the precise amount they send to downwind states.

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court seemed wary Tuesday of allowing police unbridled freedom to search through cellphones of people they arrest, taking on a new issue of privacy in the face of rapidly changing technology.

The justices appeared ready to reject the Obama administration’s argument that police should be able to make such searches without first getting warrants.

A key question in two cases argued Tuesday is whether Americans’ cellphones, with vast quantities of sensitive records, photographs and communications, are a private realm much like their homes.

“People carry their entire lives on their cellphones,” Justice Elena Kagan said.

The issue involving devices now carried by almost everyone is the latest

in which the court is being asked to adapt old legal rules to 21st-century technological advances. “We are living in a new world,” Justice Anthony Kennedy said.

The court heard arguments in cases involving a drug dealer and a gang member whose convictions turned in part on evidence found on their cellphones.

The justices suggested they might favor limiting warrantless cellphone searches to looking for evidence of the crime on which an arrest is based. Both defendants could lose in such an outcome.

More broadly, however, a decision imposing restrictions on the searches could avoid subjecting people arrested for minor crimes to having all the contents of their cellphones open to police inspection. And it might also prevent the police from using the phones to connect to the Internet and any information stored online.

Japan residents unsure of return to no-go zone

By YURI KAGEYAMA The Associated Press TOMIOKA, Japan – Whenever Kazuhiro Onuki goes home, to his real home that is, the 66-year-old former librarian dons protective gear from head to toe and hangs a dosimeter around his neck.

Grass grows wild in the backyard. The ceiling leaks.

Thieves have ransacked the shelves, leaving papers and clothing all over the floor so there is barely room to walk.

Mouse dung is scattered like raisins. There is no running water or electricity.

Above all, radiation is everywhere.

It’s difficult to imagine ever living again in Tomioka, a ghost town about 6 miles) from the former Fukushima Dai-chi nuclear plant. And yet more than three years after meltdowns at the plant forced this community of 16,000 people to flee, Onuki can’t quite make the psychological break to start anew.

His family lived here for four generations. Every time he goes back, he is overcome by emotion. Especially during that brief time in the spring when the cherry blossoms bloom.

“They flower as though nothing has happened,” he said. “They are weeping because all the people have left.”

The Japanese government is pushing ahead with efforts to decontaminate and reopen as much of a 12-mile no-go zone around the plant as it can. Authorities declared a tiny corner of the zone safe for living as of April 1, and hope to lift evacuation orders in more areas in the coming months and years.

Former residents have mixed feelings. In their hearts, many want their old lives back. But distrust about the decontamination program runs deep. Will it really be safe? Others among the more than 100,000 displaced have established new lives elsewhere, in the years since the 2011 earthquake and tsunami sent three of Fukushima’s reactors into meltdown.

If the evacuation order is lifted for their area, they will lose a monthly stipend of 100,000 yen ($1,000) they receive from Tokyo Electric Power Co., the owner of the Fukushima plant.

A survey last year found that 16 percent of Tomioka residents wanted to return, 40 percent had decided never to return, and 43 percent were undecided. Two-thirds said they were working before the disaster, but only one-third had jobs at the time of the survey, underlining the challenges to starting over.

Former resident Shigetoshi Suzuki, a friend of Onuki, is outraged the government would even ask such a question: Do you want to go back?

Of course, we all want to return, he said. People like him were effectively forced into retirement, the 65-year-old land surveyor said. If he hadn’t evacuated to a Tokyo suburb with his wife, he would have continued working for his longtime clients.

“It is a ridiculous question,” Suzuki said. “We could have led normal lives. What we have lost can’t be measured in money.”

In protest, he has refused to sign the forms that would allow his property to undergo decontamination.

WORLD BRIEFS South Korea: North holds live-fire drills at sea

from a live-fire drill landed south of the boundary. After South Korean drills in 2010, North Korea shelled a South Korean island, killing four people.

On Tuesday afternoon, the North tested 50 rounds of artillery shells over 10 minutes, South Korean Defense Ministry spokesperson Kim Min-seok told reporters.

SEOUL, South Korea – North Korea conducted live-fire artillery drills near its disputed western sea boundary Tuesday, South Korean officials said, in a possible indication of rising frustration in Pyongyang as it pushes unsuccessfully for outside aid.

Both Koreas conduct such drills routinely, but they can be sensitive because North Korea doesn’t acknowledge the U.N.drawn sea boundary near South Korean islands and the North Korean mainland in the Yellow Sea. Last month, South Korea fired artillery shells into the North’s waters after North Korean shells

President apologizes for S. Korean ferry response JINDO, South Korea – South Korea’s president apologized Tuesday for the government’s inept initial response to a deadly ferry sinking as divers fought strong currents in their search for nearly 100 passengers still missing nearly two weeks after

the accident.

The government also raised the death toll for what has become a point of national mourning and shame to 204.

Most of the dead and missing are high school students.

Divers are largely using their hands to feel for remaining bodies as they make their way through a maze of dark cabins, stairwells, storage rooms, lounges and restaurants in the submerged ferry, which flipped upside down as it sank April 16.

But they must fight strong currents swirling around the ferry and, once inside, overturned furniture, mattresses and other debris floating in the murky, sediment-heavy waters.

ANOTHER VIEW

Term limits fever?

Illinois elected officials backing term limits? What’s that about?

There’s no denying the political appeal of term limits for elected officials, the latest evidence coming from a public opinion poll released by Southern Illinois University-Carbondale showing overwhelming popular support for the concept.

So it should be no surprise that some politicians in Illinois are hopping on the bandwagon, or at least pretending they are.

Republican legislative leaders last week introduced a proposed constitutional amendment that would limit statewide officeholders to two four-year terms. The next day, Gov. Pat Quinn embraced the Republicans’ proposal, bragging that he has been a longtime supporter of term limits.

Here’s the problem. There’s a May 4 deadline to put the issue on the fall ballot, meaning that the Democratic Legislature will have to move quickly to pass the plan.

Further, putting a constitutional amendment on the ballot by legislative action requires a three-fifths majority vote.

House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton have never been enthusiastic about term limits, and they possess all the authority that’s needed to block a vote on the measure in their respective chambers.

So voters are well-advised not to hold their breaths while they wait for substantive legislative action.

The good news is that term limits for statewide officeholders are not really a problem.

It’s a different story altogether when it comes to the Illinois House and Senate. In those bodies, gerrymandered districts allow most incumbents to stay as long as they like and rarely, if ever, face a serious challenge.

Frankly, the term-limits proposal would not be so important if Illinois actually enjoyed competitive elections in legislative races. More than 90 percent of incumbents are re-elected, well over half of them usually without opposition. If Illinoisans are faced with that kind of sclerotic status quo, term limits would be useful in bringing new people to the General Assembly.

Together or by themselves, these citizen initiatives take direct aim at the professional political class that has misruled Illinois for so long. That’s why the insiders will do whatever they can to prevent both issues from coming to a vote, first by challenging the validity of the signatures and, if that fails, by asking the courts to remove them from the ballot.

Show a little state pride for a change SPRINGFIELD – Illinois is a terrific place to live.

At least that is what I thought 15 years ago when I moved back to my home state after a stint as a reporter in Las Vegas.

The weather leaves a bit to be desired, but folks here are pretty down to earth.

And there is a certain Midwestern sensibility here that I haven’t found in other places I’ve lived, such as Texas and Nevada.

So imagine my amazement, when I read a Gallup poll this past week that says one-fourth of all Illinoisans believe they live in the worst place in America.

Yeah, one out of four think the Prairie State is as bad as it gets.

By comparison, only 1 percent of Iowans say that about their state.

With so many self-esteem issues, perhaps it’s time for us Illinoisans to collectively lie down on a therapist’s couch and share our woes.

One can almost hear our collec-

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder tive neuroses coming to light: “Well, doctor, we had faulty father figures. You know: Blagojevich, Ryan, Walker and that other fella who went to prison – Kerner.

And, doctor, we have trust issues.

Our politicians lie to us. They will tell us a tax hike is temporary and then turn around and try to make it permanent.”

One can almost picture a therapist sagely nodding and saying, “Do you think you may bring some of these problems on yourself?

“Well, doctor, we keep finding ourselves attracted to the wrong kind of people.”

Other states don’t have this “woe is us” mindset.

For example, 75 percent of Alaskans and Montanans rank their state No.1.

Perennially proud Texas has 68

percent of its residents say their state is tops.

So why are we Illinoisans so down in the dumps about our home?

Well, much of it has to do with the way we are governed.

Of the last eight men we have elected governor, four have ended up in prison.

That’s just plain sad.

But, but last year, a Gallup poll found something else: 71 percent of Illinoisans believe their taxes are too high. We ranked fourth in the nation for taxpayer resentment.

Let’s face it, folks are tired of being lied to.

Back in 2011, the Legislature voted in the middle of the night during a lame duck session to jack our income tax rates up 67 percent. But they promised it would be temporary.

Now those same folks who promised the tax hike would partially expire in 2015 want to make

To the Editor: I recently had the distinct pleasure of attending the Joliet West High School Total Praise gospel chorus 2014 spring concert.

This wonderful gospel concert included performances by the Joliet West High School Total Praise gospel chorus, Joliet Central High School’s New Era Gospel Choir and the

Greater Bible Way Apostolic Temple Choir.

These very dedicated local high school students presented their selections in a very spiritual and faith-based fashion that truly made this evening unforgettable!

The evening was topped off with several spectacular selections from two more fantastic local choirs, St. John MB Church memorial choir and the Mt. Zion Church “Genuine

Praise Dancers.”

The sponsors of this very special spiritual event, Mrs. Darlene Bradley and Mrs. Cynthia James (both volunteer Joliet West staff members), deserve to be overjoyed organizing such an event that portrays these young people’s ultimate commitment to their faith families and communities!

Unpasteurized milk not for children To the Editor: When I was a child, my parents purchased unpasteurized milk from a local dairy. As a result, when I was 6 years old, I contracted undulant fever.

Although that was almost 80 years ago, I still remember the 106-degree fever and the delirium that I called “fever dreams.”

The illness left me with

chronic severe anemia. Despite medication, I never had enough energy to play any sport, and although I married and raised four daughters, I have always had to struggle to perform tasks that came easily to others.

So, as an adult, you have the right to use unpasteurized milk, but please – please – do not give it to your children.

815-942-5043 Rt. 47 1 mi. North of I-80 Morris, IL 8890 N. Rt. 47 Morris, IL 60450

RockTenn CP, LLC has applied to the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for a federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) regulating air emissions from its corrugated container manufacturing facility located at 2251 Berens Drive in New Lenox.

The Illinois EPA has reviewed the application and made a preliminary determination that the application meets the standards for issuance and has prepared a draft permit for public review and comment.

The Illinois EPA is accepting written comments on the draft permit.

Comments must be postmarked by midnight May 30, 2014. If sufficient interest is expressed in the draft permit, a hearing or other informational meeting may be held. Requests for information, comments, and questions should be directed to Brad Frost, Division of Air Pollution Control, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, PO. Box 19506, Springfield, Illinois, 62794-9506, phone 217/782-7027, TDD phone number 217/782-9143, brad.frost@illinois.gov.

The repositories for these documents and the application are at the Illinois EPA's offices at 9511 West Harrison in Des Plaines, 847/2944000 and 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, 217/782-7027 (please call ahead to assure that someone will be available to assist you). The draft permit and project summary may also be available at http://www.epa.gov/reg5oair/permits/ilonline. Copies of the documents may also be obtained upon request to the contact listed above.

The 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act require potentially major sources of air emissions to obtain federally enforceable operating permits. A FESOP permit allows a source that is potentially major to take operational limits in the permit so that it is a non-major source. The permit will contain federally enforceable limitations that restrict the facility’s emissions to non-major levels. The permit will be enforceable by the USEPA, as well as the Illinois EPA. adno=0234028

Wildcats edge out Indians in double overtime

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, April 30, 2014

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Plainfield Central girls soccer coach Ken Schoen likes the fight his squad possesses and it certainly was on display Tuesday.

The Wildcats had multiple chances with the wind advantage, but trailed Minooka, 1-0, at halftime of their Southwest Prairie Conference match.

After grabbing the lead with a pair of second-half goals, Central watched in dismay as the Indians scored late in regulation play to force overtime.

But as the squads were underway in their second of two 10-minute extra sessions, the Wildcats made the most of a second chance opportunity to finally seal the deal.

Paige Fuller followed up on her deflected corner kick with an effort that found the net in the 92nd minute as Central captured a 3-2 victory.

The Wildcats are 7-3 since getting off to an 0-4 start, and improved to 3-1 in SPC play.

“I’m not going to complain about any win in this conference,” Schoen said. “We’re coming together real well and we’ve come a long ways so far.

I’m happy with our effort after having the wind at our backs and being down 1-0 at half. We were at a disadvantage, but came back and took the lead.

I like the girls’ mental toughness and how they never give up.

“We came out a little flat but picked it up about 15 minutes in and we created a bunch of opportunities, and probably could have scored a few goals in the first half. Both of our goals in the second half were high-quality finishes. We went a little more defensive after they scored the second goal since I liked our chances if we went into overtime or PKs.” The Wildcats had the best opportunity in the initial overtime, receiving a long free kick from Erin Graefen that was hauled in by Indians keeper Lily Benig midway through.

Things were good for Central after Graefen recorded

Minooka’s Tara Pentoney (6) moves the ball past Plainfield Central’s Jessie Birchall during Tuesday’s match in Minooka. Plainfield Central won, 3-2, in double overtime.

Minooka’s Julianna Scarcelli (17) and Plainfield Central’s Emily Haarman both go for the ball during Tuesday’s match. a goal and assisted Shawna Watson on an earlier score to lead 2-1 with less than 15 minutes left.

But Minooka (2-7-3, 2-3) evened things up in the 67th minute when Hannah Rieker was just wide on an attempt but Lacey Viano was in the right spot to put in the short

goal.

Both squads had chances as regulation play wound down. Central’s Jessica Schroeder had a chip punched over the net and a short time later, Minooka’s Marisol Galvan was denied on a corner kick and close attempt.

In the final minutes be-

fore overtime, Wildcat Emily Haarman had a long effort deflected over the net while Rieker was thwarted on a try by keeper Tiffany Lenza.

After the Indians opened the second half with shots from Rieker and Kasey Watts, the Wildcats evened things at 1-1 in the 54th minute when Graefen sent a pass to Watson, who fired in a shot near the sideline that found the opposite side of the net.

A short time later, Rieker sent in a corner and Haley Arlis headed one try off the crossbar before being denied on the short rebound try.

Central went up 2-1 just after the half’s midpoint when Graefen ripped off a liner from just beyond the top of the box.

“We knew coming in that it would be close since we were evenly-matched with them and it was back-and-forth the whole time and anyone’s, game,” Watson said. “We knew that we had to go hard in the second half since we

got down early. Once we got our first goal I feel that we got some energy and then were able to get the second one.

“We had a lot of corner kicks and Paige was getting them right where we needed them and that came in handy.

We’re a really young team since we only have three seniors. But we have lots of skill and work well together and we’re strong in each area.”

In the opening half, Fuller had a free kick punch over the net less than a quarter of an hour in. Wildcat Jessie Birchall was denied on a short try just past the halfway mark.

Minooka grabbed the early advantage in the 28th minute when Galvan got free on a breakaway and put in the close-range opportunity.

Both sides had a few more chances before the break with Watson having a try deflected, Minooka’s Ali Motsch being thwarted and Central’s Erin Mehelich suffering a similar fate.

AREA ROUNDUP

Formella, Lockport slip past Joliet West

USF’s Faron named player of the week

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

Andy Satunas Lockport baseball coach base open.

“We wanted to see if [Thomas] might chase something,” Satunas said, “We were not going to give him anything good to hit.”

Formella (4-2) threw a low, inside breaking ball on the first pitch, hitting Thomas on the foot. Cleanup man Griffin McGuire then batted with the tying and winning runs on base and Formella struck him out on a 3-2 pitch to end the game.

That was Formella’s 10th strikeout. He walked two and allowed four hits.

West lefty Robert Talarico was almost as good. He allowed four hits and struck out six in six innings. Second baseman Frausto helped him out with a splendid catch of a popup in short right field to save two runs in the top of the sixth.

“Both pitchers threw great games,” Satunas said.

“Robert battled on the mound,” West coach John Karczewski said of Talarico. “He had one bad inning [when Lockport scored all three of its runs in the second].”

The Tigers’ problem was offense.

“Formella got stronger as the game went on,” Karczewski said. “We get Cody [Grosse] and Zack [Thomas] on base, and we struggle.

“We’ve been talking all year about how we refuse to hit the ball the other way.

We didn’t grind out at-bats.

There will be changes in the lineup [Wednesday].”

Satunas said the game typified the rivalry.

“We know Joliet West will always be a battle,” he said.

“We took advantage of a few freebies in the second inning and our pitching and defense made it hold up.”

JOLIET – University of St. Francis’ Rick Faron has been named the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Baseball Player of the Week.

Faron batted .476 with six runs scored and three driven in as the Saints split their six games during the week.

LOCKPORT – Lockport has been on a bit of a roller coaster ride this baseball season. But the Porters have found consistency in the SouthWest Suburban Blue.

Lockport (10-10, 5-0) remained unbeaten in the conference Tuesday when senior right-hander Mike Formella went the distance in a 3-2 victory over Joliet West.

The game was moved to Ed Flink Field because a late-morning downpour at West made its field unplayable. The series finale between the two is scheduled Wednesday at Lockport.

The Tigers (12-6, 3-2) were the home team Tuesday and had three good opportunities to reverse the outcome, but Formella was up to each challenge.

West leadoff man Cody Grosse had singled and scored in the first and third innings and stepped to the plate with two on and two out in the bottom of the fourth and Lockport leading 3-2.

Formella struck him out on a high fastball.

“That was probably the big at-bat in the game,” Formella said. “Grosse already had two hits and luckily I got him out that time. He’s definitely a good hitter.”

“Mike executed the pitch he needed,” Lockport coach Andy Satunas said. “Grosse is one of their best hitters.”

In the fifth, with two men on and one out, Formella got West’s No. 5 hitter, Chad Benavidez, to hit into an inning-ending 1-6-3 double play, “That was huge,” Satunas said.

“I kind of slipped fielding that one,” Formella said.

“The mound was wet. It was hard to get your footing.”

Then came the bottom of the seventh. Grosse was hit by a pitch with one out. He stole second as Nick Frausto struck out and Zack Thomas, also one of the Tigers’ main threats, stepped up with first

“Both pitchers threw great games.”

Lincoln-Way West’s Jake Robbins slides back into second as Lockport shortstop Dan Kaleel tries to field the throw. The Warriors currently are undefeated this season.

Lincoln-Way West baseball finds ways to reach 18-0 VIEWS Dick Goss Lincoln-Way West baseball coach Jake Zajc said “it has been unique every day.”

How else do we get this far along in the high school baseball season and explain a team with an 18-0 record?

That’s the talented Warriors, whose 18 victories include wins over Homewood-Flossmoor, Oak Forest, Lockport, Sandburg, Stagg, Andrew, Clemente, Bradley twice and Metamora. Nary a dog in that bunch.

“We’re finding ways,” Zajc said. “When you are in a streak like this, you have to have different guys stepping up. It’s been a great season so far, and we’re looking to build on it.”

West, of course, is one of the heavyweights assigned to the Class 3A Joliet Catholic Regional, along with the Hilltoppers, Lemont and Oak Forest.

JCA and Lemont feature shutdown pitching. West has been getting the job done on the mound with depth that is about to receive a boost.

Junior right-hander Steve Skolarz, who made a splash as a freshman when he beat JCA 3-0 in the sectional, is the Warriors’ ace but has not been pitching much – yet.

“He had a sore elbow early and we let him rest it,” Zajc

said. “We were being proactive. But he’s getting into the mix now.”

Meanwhile, West has seven pitchers who have logged double-digit innings. Senior left-hander Ben Francis is 4-0 with 22 strikeouts in 172⁄3 innings. Senior lefty Richard Yelnick is 3-0 and has worked 19 2⁄3 innings. Senior Dylan Eller is 3-0 with 31 strikeouts in 25 innings.

Regular shortstop Luke Morgan, who will play at South Alabama next season, is 3-0 with four saves and has struck out 25 in 16 innings.

“All our pitchers have been pumping strikes and fielding their position very well,” Zajc said. “They’re doing the little things they need to do. And, our defense has played well behind them.”

Morgan and sophomore third baseman Ryan Hastings are sound on the left side of the infield. Sophomore Adam Knerr has played well in center field and takes over at shortstop when Morgan is summoned to pitch.

Offense is an area where Zajc said the Warriors can continue to improve as the weather improves.

Senior first baseman Dan Brokop is leading the way with a .451 average. Morgan is hitting .347 with three home runs. Right fielder Zach Speaker is at .327 with three homers and 19 RBIs. Hastings is hitting .358.

“We have conference opponents coming up that

will throw some pitching at us,” Zajc said, citing SouthWest Suburban Red rivals Lincoln-Way North and Lincoln-Way Central. “That will help prepare us for the regional.”

Ah, yes, that regional.

“The last couple years, this is the way the state has done it,” Zajc said of the postseason assignments. “But when you get to the postseason, you know you have to beat good teams sometime.

“All five teams in the regional [Tinley Park also is in the field] have a chance to compete and win it. When we played Oak Forest, it was a 2-1 game, and the last I heard, they were something like 15-4, Don’t count them out.

“The regional will be baseball at a high level.”

Petrick promoted Zach Petrick is inching ever closer to a major league career.

The St. Louis Cardinals recently promoted the former Morris and Joliet Junior College right-hander from Double-A Springfield to Triple-A Memphis.

He has made two starts for Memphis and is 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA. In 11 innings, he has allowed 10 his and six walks while striking out seven. That was after a run at Springfield where he was 2-0 with a 0.48 ERA. In three starts there, he allowed nine hits and five walks while striking out 15 in 182⁄3 innings.

NBA PLAYOFFS: GAME 5: WIZARDS 75, BULLS 69

adno=0260046

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

• Wednesday, April 30, 2014

CHICAGO – John Wall finished with 24 points, Nene scored 20, and the Washington Wizards beat the Bulls, 75-69, on Tuesday night to clinch their first-round series in five games.

Bradley Beal scored 17 points, and the fifth-seeded Wizards advanced in the postseason for just the third time since the 1970s. They will meet Indiana or Atlanta in the Eastern Conference semifinals.

It’s a huge step for a franchise that hadn’t been to the postseason since 2008, but with Wall and Beal leading the way, they won 44 games during the regular season.

The Wizards turned a halftime tie into a nine-point lead heading into the fourth quarter and hung on down the stretch.

The Bulls’ comeback chances took a big hit early in the final quarter when Taj Gibson crumbled to the court clutching his left ankle after he tried to block a layup by Wall with the Wizards up by six points. He had to be helped off the court and did not return.

The Bulls cut it to 70-67 on a jumper by Carlos Boozer with 3:32 left. Wall then poked the ball away from Boozer and nailed a jumper at the shot-clock buzzer. The Bulls hit two free throws with 2:18 remaining to cut it back down to three, but the Wizards grabbed three offensive rebounds while whittling more than a minute off the clock before Beal threw the ball away with a minute left in the game.

Boozer missed on a drive, but the Bulls had another chance after a shot-clock violation by Washington with 22.4 seconds left. Bulls’ Jimmy Butler missed on a layup off the inbounds, and the Wizards caught a break after Andre Miller missed two free throws.

Beal tracked down the loose ball and hit the first free throw to make it 73-69 with 14.6 seconds left before missing the second. But again, the Wizards got the rebound. This time it was Nene, and that led

Wall and Nene, back from a one-game suspension for grabbing Butler’s head, both had seven rebounds. Marcin Gortat scored just two points but grabbed 13 boards.

For the Bulls, a season that unfolded in ways they never envisioned is finally over.

They expected to challenge Miami for supremacy in the Eastern Conference with Derrick Rose back after sitting out last season, only to lose their star to another season-ending knee injury. As if that wasn’t enough, they traded away one of their top remaining players in Luol Deng yet somehow squeezed out 48 victories. No team in the East won more games after New Year’s Eve, either, but the Wizards were too much.

Butler and Kirk Hinrich scored 16 points each and Gibson had 12. Joakim Noah added 18 rebounds and seven

assists. Boozer, a candidate to be amnestied, added 10 points and nine rebounds in what might have been his final appearance for the Bulls.

Hinrich’s 3-pointer gave the Bulls a 46-45 lead with 9:02 left in the third. But the Bulls managed just six points the rest of the quarter – a 20foot jumper by Noah, two free throws by Boozer and a bank shot by Butler with 2:16 left.

Beal, who scored eight points in the third quarter, answered by banking in an 18-footer and Wall added a free throw in the closing minute of the period to make it 61-52.

NOTES: Nene declined comment about his suspension at the Wizards’ shootaround, saying, “I don’t want to talk about that.” ... Former Bull Ben Gordon was on hand, and Bryan Bickell of the Blackhawks was cheered when he was shown in the second quarter.

Sterling banned for life by NBA THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Issuing about the strongest rebuke that he could, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver banned Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling for life Tuesday for making racist comments in a recorded conversation, the first step toward forcing a sale of the club and permanently removing Sterling from the league.

Silver also fined Sterling $2.5 million, and again expressed outrage.

“I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners to remove him,” Silver said.

Several owners immediately chimed in with support for Silver’s decision. Sterling, the league’s longest-tenured owner and someone with an estimated net worth of about $2 billion, did not offer any immediate comment.

The penalties, which were announced only three days after the scandal broke, are the harshest ever issued by the league and among the stiffest punishments ever given to an owner in professional sports. Silver said a league investigation found that Sterling was in fact the person on the audiotapes that were released over the weekend and immediately sent shock waves throughout the game.

“We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling’s views,” Silver said. “They simply have no place in the NBA.” Sterling acknowledged he was the man on the tape, Silver said.

Sterling still owns the team, but going forward he is immediately barred from attending any NBA games or practices, being present at any Clippers office or facility, participating in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team, or being part of any league business.

It’s unclear how Sterling will respond.

“This league is far bigger than any one owner, any one

coach and any one player,” said Silver, who as commissioner has broad powers under what’s typically called the “best interest of the game” clause of the NBA constitution.

But Silver works for the owners, and he will need 75 percent of them – if all 30 teams vote, he’ll need 23 on his side – to force Sterling out of the league completely.

The fine will be donated to organizations dedicated to anti-discrimination and tolerance efforts that will be jointly selected by the NBA and the Players Association, Silver said.

“This has all happened in three days, and so I am hopeful there will be no long-term damage to the league and to the Clippers organization,” Silver said. “But as I said earlier, I’m outraged so I certainly understand other people’s outrage. This will take some time and appropriate healing will be necessary.”

After the announcement, the Clippers’ website had a simple message: “We are one,” it read.

“We wholeheartedly support and embrace the decision by the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver today. Now the healing process begins,” the Clippers added in a statement.

Sterling’s comments were released over the weekend

by TMZ and Deadspin, and numerous NBA owners and players have condemned them. Even President Barack Obama weighed in on the crisis, the first of Silver’s brief tenure as commissioner.

“Commissioner Silver thank you for protecting our beautiful and powerful league!! Great leader!!,” Miami Heat star LeBron James wrote on Twitter.

The league’s investigation started Saturday and players immediately began expressing intense displeasure with the situation, even going so far as to ask Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson to get involved on behalf of the players’ union.

Hawks aim to get some rest

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com There’s nothing quite like a Game 7 – the intensity, the pressure, the excitement, the drama.

But there is something even better: Not having to play a Game 7.

While the Colorado Avalanche and Minnesota Wild fight to the finish Wednesday night in Denver, the Blackhawks – who await the winner – will be watching from the comfort of their own homes, coming off two days away from the rink and a welcome-back practice earlier in the day.

Those two days off couldn’t have come at a better time, given the physically and mentally draining nature of the Hawks’ six-game first-round victory over the St. Louis Blues.

“It’s really good to get some rest,” goaltender Corey Crawford said. “It’s always nice to get a little in the playoffs. But I’m sure we’re going to be eager to start the next one.”

Of course, none of the Hawks would bite when asked which team he’d rather see in the Central Division final. In their eyes, it’s not about who the opponent is, but how the Hawks themselves play that will determine the winner.

That said, deep down, the Hawks probably wouldn’t mind seeing the Wild prevail.

Not that Minnesota is a pushover. The Wild have been impressive in pushing the division-champion Avalanche to a Game 7, boast the best

Zach Parise is tied with Colorado rookie sensation Nathan MacKinnon for the league lead in playoff points with 10 (three goals, seven assists, including four points in Game 6).

But a Minnesota win means home-ice advantage for the Hawks instead of opening in Denver. It means facing third-string goalie Darcy Kuemper instead of Hart Trophy candidate Semyon Varlamov, who has beaten the Hawks four times in five tries against the Hawks this season – three of them outright thefts. And it means avoiding the young and skilled Avalanche, one of the few teams in the league fast enough to skate with the Hawks and beat them at their own game.

The only concern is, will the time off negate the good vibes the Hawks built in winning four straight against the Blues?

“It’s always nice to get some rest, just be smart and know that every series is different,” defenseman Duncan Keith said. “We certainly feel confident right now, but no matter what happens, if we get a few days off here, we’re going to have to use it to our advantage and be ready to play as soon as the puck drops next time.”

Wednesday’s practice will be the first the Hawks have held since the playoffs began. That’s the biggest thing Joel Quenneville said he has learned over the past couple of seasons – that rest is more important than work this time of year, and that any teaching can be done during morning skates on game days.

Joliet Central students stage soup kitchen event to raise hunger awareness

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

Empty Bowls event: • is an international grassroots effort to fight hunger • was created by The Imagine Render Group • wants craftspeople, educators and the community to work together to create the bowls • has guests enjoy a simple meal of soup and bread in exchange for a cash donation • hopes guests keep their “empty” bowls as a reminder of world hunger • prefers any money raised is donated to an organization working to end hunger • hosts events across the United States and at least a dozen other countries • has raised millions of dollars

J

OLIET – Gen Shaw never realized how just how many people in the world go hungry.

That is, until the day Shaw, 17, of Joliet, and other Joliet Central High School students played “soup kitchen” for a day.

Earlier this month, the students in Nyssa Wilhelmsen’s three-dimensional art class, Rochelle Bjelland’s culinary arts classes and Valerie O’Toole’s human services classes collaborated in the school’s first Empty Bowls event, part of an international grassroots effort to stop world hunger.

Bjelland’s students prepared two homemade soups (potato and chicken), which they ladled into pottery bowls fabricated by Wilhelmsen’s students and served them with a slice of bread and a cookie. O’Toole’s students sold tickets, kept track of paperwork and collected 10 boxes of nonperishable food.

“We sold 60 tickets for $10 [each],” Bjelland said. “And people got to keep the bowl.”

They donated the proceeds – $695 – and the boxes of food to Lamb’s Fold Center in Joliet, which serves homeless women and children.

One student, Jailen Smith, 18, especially enjoyed witnessing the fruits of her labors on serving day. She had made half the bowls.

“I just felt I needed to give back,” Smith said, crediting Wilhelmsen for providing the opportunity. “I love art and if I could use it to give back, that would be great.”

Each bowl took about three hours to make, Smith said, a process that included shaping, trimming, firing and glazing. To complete

“It was cool to see people’s different tastes by which bowl they chose,” Smith said, “and to be thanked and recognized for something I worked so hard on.”

Bjelland said she and Wilhelmsen had first talked about offering this event several years and brainstormed ways to fit it into their curriculums. One day, they simply decided, “Yes, let’s do it,” and they organized it in two weeks, Bjelland said.

“It’s an unbelievably great cause and we wanted to help the community,” Bjelland said.

It’s not like Bjelland’s students were strangers to hosting events: They’ve hosted events including staff lunches and fancy banquets seating 400 people, part of the

deal for learning college-level culinary skills, Bjelland said. These skills include preparing cuts of meat, basic sauces, homemade pasta, baking and various cooking methods.

But Empty Bowls was the first time they’d prepared a meal with a community outreach purpose. Bjelland said they kept the initial run small and in-house at Joliet Central High School with the hopes of offering it to the community in the future.

Enthusiasm, however, ran high.

“The kids were so excited, and I loved watching them do it. I’m so proud of them,” Bjelland said. “It’s important for them to give back.”

For the soup, Bjelland used favorite recipes she had “inherited” from her aunt.

The “soup kitchen” quickly ran low on potato soup, so Bjelland started “pushing” the chicken soup.

Joliet Central High School Principal John Randich needed no such persuasion.

He preferred the chicken soup, as well as the opportunity to break bread with other staff members, rare with individual busy schedules, he said. He’s proud that students shared their time and talents and felt the keepsake bowls were a nice touch.

“I took mine home,” Randich said.

Bjelland would only part with the chicken soup recipe. “[My aunt] said not to share the other one,” Bjelland said.

Old-fashioned chicken noodle soup 1 4 to 5 pound stewing chicken, with fat trimmed 6 cups water ½ cup chopped onion (1 medium) 2 teaspoons salt ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Source: www.emptybowls.net 1 bay leaf 1 ½ cups dried medium noodles 1 cup chopped carrots (2 medium) 1 cup chopped celery (2 stalks) 2 tablespoons snipped fresh parsley In a large Dutch oven combine chicken, water, onion, salt, pepper and bay leaf. Bring to boil: reduce heat. Simmer, covered about 2 hours or until chicken is tender. Remove chicken from broth. When cool enough to handle, remove meat from bones and discard bones. Shred meat and set aside. Discard bay leaf. Skim fat from broth (to remove fat from hot broth, use a large metal spoon and skim off the fat that rises to the top).

Add the noodles, chicken, carrots and celery. Simmer covered about 8 minutes or until noodles are al dente.

Add chopped fresh parsley.

Yield: 8 servings.

CELEBRITY CIPHER

In yesterday’s column, we looked at a deal in which the responder made a strong jump shift, then, on the second round, jumped again in his suit to announce that it was completely solid.

In today’s deal, the responder jumps in his own suit, then jumps in his partner’s suit. What does that show?

While you are thinking about that, some pairs add a third hand-type for a strong jump shift: a strong 5-3-3-2. I do not like that, because when responder rebids in no-trump, opener does not know the length of responder’s suit. In my two-way style, responder must have a six-card suit if he jumps in it, then rebids in no-trump. This allows the opener to count winners more accurately.

North’s sequence here shows, in principle, five decent spades, four good hearts and 5-4-2-2 distribution, with (almost) all of his points in the majors. His hand is a textbook example.

Then South wonders if a grand slam might be makable, but decides to settle for “a sure thing.”

West leads the diamond king.

Declarer thinks that he can see 12 winners (five spades, five hearts, one diamond and one club), with the club finesse for the overtrick. So South takes the first trick with his diamond ace and draws trumps. Then he turns to the spades, but suddenly five tricks there shrink to four.

Now he has no sensible choice but to take the club finesse.

Finally something works.

Note that East did well to keep equal length with the dummy, never discarding a spade while declarer drew trumps.

Boyfriend’s ‘other woman’ is attached Love overcomes all Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years.

We live together, and his child from another woman lives with us. I love my boyfriend and his child, but one thing prevents me from imagining us being married: He has his child’s mother’s name tattooed on his body.

The tattoo bothers me for many reasons, and I’d like him to have it covered up if we ever do marry.

He says he doesn’t want to get rid of it. When the topic comes up, we argue.

Am I unreasonable for wanting him to get rid of the tattoo? If that woman really is in his past, why does he need a constant reminder of her on his body? – In A Stink Over Ink Dear In A Stink: You’re asking the wrong person. Only your boyfriend can answer that. He may not want to go to the expense, or to experience the pain of having more artwork done. Or he may not like the idea that you are telling him what to do.

However, if he has been living

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips with you for two years, I doubt it’s because he’s still carrying a torch for someone else. If you love him and the two of you want to get married, my advice is to accept him warts, artwork and all, because regardless of any romance in his past, YOU have habeas corpus. (That’s Latin for “you have the body.”)

Dear Abby: I consider myself a social person and enjoy talking to friends on the phone. My problem is, when I talk to one of them, she will never let me get off the phone.

Sometimes we’ll talk for several hours, but eventually I have other obligations and have to go. When I tell her that, she often ignores me and keeps right on talking.

I don’t want to be rude, but sometimes I have to say goodbye four and five times before she finally acknowledges that I must

end the call. It irritates me. I like talking to her, but I can’t go on and on forever. How can I make her let me off the phone without hanging up on her or upsetting her? – Mr. Nice Guy Dear Mr. Nice Guy: The person you’re describing obviously has less going on in her life than you do. She may also be a compulsive talker.

The next time you talk to her, make the conversation face-toface and tell her that as much as you like her, you don’t have the amount of time to spend on the phone that she does. Explain that when you tell her you must end the conversation, if she doesn’t stop talking within five minutes, you will have to hang up. And then do it.

Will she like it? No. But the alternative is that she will continue to take advantage of you – which she has been doing because you have allowed it.

Testosterone therapy carries risks as well as benefits Dear Doctor K: I’ve seen a lot of commercials advertising testosterone therapy for “low T.” Does it live up to its promise? Should I be on it?

Dear Reader: I’ve seen the commercials, too. They promise that testosterone therapy for low blood levels of testosterone, or “low T,” will make you feel more alert, energetic, mentally sharp and sexually functional. Testosterone therapy is a good option for some men, but there are also risks.

Testosterone is the major sex hormone in men. Low T can cause low sex drive, low energy, erectile dysfunction and decreased muscle mass. However, other conditions besides low T can also cause each of these symptoms. As men move into their mid-adult years, blood levels of testosterone tend to fall.

But this is variable from one man to the next.

In answering your questions, what I want to avoid saying (and you want to avoid reading) is that “it’s complicated.” But sometimes the answer is just plain complicated – because medical science doesn’t have clear answers.

The first question that sounds like it should be simple to answer, but isn’t, is what blood level of testosterone is truly “low.” The first complication is that doctors measure two different types of

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff testosterone: total and free testosterone. It is free testosterone that actually affects things such as sex drive, energy, erectile function and muscle mass.

Some men have normal total testosterone but low free testosterone, and vice versa. To make matters worse, measuring free testosterone blood levels accurately is difficult. Not all laboratories do it well.

When men have very low total and free testosterone, and resulting symptoms, there’s no doubt that testosterone treatments can raise blood levels and improve symptoms. But many men have testosterone levels that are a little bit low, and it’s not so clear that they benefit from treatment.

Testosterone therapy can be delivered through a gel, patch or injection. Most doctors prescribe a gel.

Like most treatments, testosterone therapy carries some potential risks, such as stimulating the growth of prostate cancer and possibly increasing the risk of heart disease.

Here’s what I advise:

• Consider other causes for your symptoms. Depression, cardiovascular disease and medications can cause erectile dysfunction. Poor sleep could explain low energy. Aging combined with lack of strength exercises leads to reduced muscle mass.

• Get an accurate assessment.

Have both types of testosterone measured between 7 a.m. and 10 a.m., when testosterone is at its daily peak. If either is low, ask your doctor to confirm the result with a second test on a different day.

• Be mindful of risks if you are considering treatment. With your doctor, consider whether the benefits outweigh the potential risks based on your personal medical history.

Finally, be realistic. Don’t try testosterone therapy in hopes of channeling your more youthful physical or sexual self, of living longer or healthier, or of improving your memory or mental sharpness. Exercising more would be a safer – and more effective – approach for achieving those goals.

Dr. Wallace: My boyfriend and I met at a mutual friend’s Christmas party, and we have been together ever since. We are both 19 and have many things in common and understand each other like we have known each other for a long time. We both feel that we were destined to meet and to fall in love.

We love each other very much and have no doubt that sometime in the near future we will get married to each other.

We have concerns about the fact that we are of different faiths.

We have discussed our religion, and both of us want to remain faithful to our present religion.

Our parents and some of our close friends are telling us that a “mixed” religion marriage is doomed to fail. Anthony has talked with his priest and I have also spoken to my Baptist minister. Both clergymen said they were not in favor of us marrying.

We would appreciate your thoughts. – Mary, Toronto, Ontario.

Dear Mary: A “mixed” religion marriage can be successful if both partners understand that an extra burden is added.

Several things should be considered before the marriage, and these questions should be asked: “Would the children be raised in the Catholic or Protestant faith?” and “Should the children attend a public or parochial school?”

I would also suggest that the two of you speak with couples who have different religious backgrounds but have successful marriages. It will be helpful to learn how others have solved the problems.

However, at the end of the day, and when the sun is setting in the West, true love is so dominant that it overcomes all situations.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and live at home with my mom. My mom had to get a job for the first time in her life because my dad died last year.

She got a job in an office and gets home from work at 5:30. So, when I get home from school I have to set the table, make the dinner and then do the dishes and clean up the kitchen after we eat. I also have to vacuum and dust the house once a week and cut the lawn every other Saturday. My mom’s only chore is doing the laundry.

I don’t think this is fair. When I talk to mom about this unfair arrangement, she gets upset and starts to cry. Please answer my letter and tell me how I can get some time to myself. – Nameless, Springfield, Mo. Dear Nameless: It’s obvious that Mom is going through a very difficult time. In losing her husband, she lost not only a life companion but the family’s mainstay and source of financial security.

Getting a job has meant taking on a brand new role, that of breadwinner. It’s not surprising that she would feel overwhelmed by this.

However, as time passes, both you and your mother will discover new shortcuts to make the home tasks less demanding.

Continue to do your best and don’t complain and cause your mom to feel bad. Things will improve in time, and the two of you will get through these tough times together.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

Photo by Charlie Paul

“For No Good Reason” goes behind the scenes with illustrator Ralph Steadman.

‘For No Good Reason’: The wild art of a mild man

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post Johnny Depp’s appearance throughout a new documentary portrait of the British artist and illustrator Ralph Steadman is unnecessary, though appropriate given the film’s title, “For No Good Reason.”

Depp’s presence on camera – less as legitimate interviewer than as a slightly sycophantic observer – seems calculated to lend hipster cachet to the biography, but little else.

Steadman, however, seems to be doing just fine on his own. Well into his 70s, the artist best known for his magazine collaborations in the 1970s with the late writer Hunter S. Thompson is still making art that has the capacity to delight and, at times, to shock. It’s fun to watch Steadman create his signature style of ink drawings: unflattering caricatures characterized by seemingly random splashes of black and red ink – sometimes blown through a straw – that give the work a violent, unpredictable energy. Occasional animations supplement these scenes of the artist at work.

The rest of the film, by Charlie Paul, features Steadman reminiscing about his career, which took off with a 1970 assignment to cover the Kentucky Derby

for Scanlan’s magazine.

Thompson, the writer on that project, would go on to work with Steadman again and again, most notably for Rolling Stone magazine, where the two collaborated on the serialized article “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” (1971), among several other pieces.

Depp famously played Thompson’s alter ego, Raoul Duke, in Terry Gilliam’s 1998 film adaptation of “Las Vegas,” which I guess explains his presence.

Gilliam also appears briefly in the documentary, as does the actor Richard E. Grant, whose breakout role was in the 1987 film “Withnail and I,” for which Steadman created the poster art.

Like Depp’s contribution, which lends the film the feeling of a random tea-time visit, these talking-head appearances are a mite extraneous. “For No Good Reason” rambles too much for its own good, compared to more traditional documentaries.

The most rewarding parts of the film feature Steadman simply talking about his influences (Picasso, among others) and his youthful goal of changing the world through art.

Though Steadman created many anti-war images in his day, he admits that, at his advanced age, he sometimes

feels “slightly meaningless.”

Those who only know Steadman through his art, which sometimes resembles the output of a wild man, might be surprised to learn that he’s always been a pretty staid guy. Given his long association with Thompson, a celebrated drinker and drug user who committed suicide in 2005, the revelation of Steadman’s (relative) sobriety is the film’s biggest bombshell. Steadman says that he and Thompson were as different as “chalk and cheese.”

Rolling Stone co-founder and publisher Jann Wenner, however, says that, of the two men, Steadman was far crazier than Thompson and more willing to take a chance. You certainly don’t see that trait in his personal life, which seems quietly predictable these days.

But that risk-taking comes across in his art.

Fortunately, there’s plenty of it in “For No Good Reason.” It may not have changed the world, but for fans of Steadman’s work, it’s reason enough to see the film.

• “For No Good Reason” received three out of three stars. The film is rated R and contains crude language, drug content and sexual imagery. It runs 89 minutes.

• Wednesday, April 30, 2014

TODAY – Your insight and vision will enable you to make the right choices this year. While your eagerness to take control is an advantage in the business world, take care not to let it interfere with your personal life. Equality will be the watchword on the domestic front.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You can’t let past disappointments hold you back. Keep your head up and move forward with pride. Don’t waste time stewing over things you cannot change.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t waste time on idle chitchat. Someone is likely to use your flippant attitude against you. Focus on being productive, not entertaining. Keep your plans a secret.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – A travel opportunity is coming your way. Your imagination is in overdrive, and a new hobby or endeavor will help to satisfy your creative urges. Love is in the stars.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – What was touted as a foolproof investment could prove to be very costly. Don’t take any unnecessary risks. You can’t expect to get something for nothing. Be smart with your cash.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Mingling after hours with colleagues could prove to be very rewarding today. You will be able to learn a lot of useful information from people with more experience than you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Keep a watchful eye on your personal documents and make sure everything is up to date. Double-check that you have done everything in your power to ward off a financial loss.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Expect to face demanding individuals. Keep your emotions in check and assert yourself if you feel you are being taken advantage of. Put your needs first for a change.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You may find hidden value in an overlooked asset. If you are feeling overwhelmed, get out and do something physical to relieve stress. Clear up any misunderstanding or uncertainty.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Children and close friends should be included in your plans today. Getting together with those you love will make you feel good about your life and future.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Family problems are likely if you have not been paying attention to current developments. Take a look at your financial situation before you overspend on an impulsive purchase.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Get involved in a benevolent or charitable organization. You have a lot to offer, and important connections will be made if you share your best ideas with others.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Get together with friends during the evening hours, but take care of your own responsibilities first to put your mind at ease. Romance will enhance your personal life.
