Midterm pay hike authorization by county board would break precedent

By LAUREN LEONE-CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Circuit Clerk Pam McGuire asked Will County Board members Thursday to consider giving her a pay increase midterm – something the County Board has never done.

The county has made salary increases effective after elections, meaning pay is set before an elected official takes office and is effective for the length of that official’s term.

Republican Caucus Chair Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said while he isn’t against granting a salary increase to McGuire, he did take issue with granting

it midterm.

“It’s never been done,” Moustis said at a meeting of the county board executive committee, where the request was made. “I will tell you that I personally am very reluctant, even though I’m interested in putting it at a different [pay] level. But to do it midterm is unprecedented. I think it’s a dangerous precedent.

“Salaries are always set for the next term when people are coming in. It’s set for the office.

This gives more an appearance of being set for a person of the office.”

The County Board later this year will consider raises for county clerk, sheriff and treasurer, all of which are

up for election in November.

Any raises for those positions would take effect after the election.

McGuire wants to be considered for a raise at the same time. Her term ends in 2016.

The last salary increase for the circuit clerk was in 2007, said Mcguire, and the county’s population has increased since that time.

Her office is responsible for maintaining records of all traffic, civil and criminal cases filed and heard in the county.

County board members acknowledged McGuire is one of the lowest-paid circuit clerks in collar counties of Kane, Lake, McHenry, Will and DuPage.

Morris residents may get new trash containers

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Residents using Republic Services garbage pickup in the city of Morris could see a few improvements next year if the city decides to renew a four-year contract with the company.

The Morris Street and Alley Committee Wednesday discussed renewing the contract with Hank Potts, Municipal Services Manager for Republic Services.

As part of the discussions, Potts said the company would provide residents with new garbage totes to replace

their regular, black garbage bins next year.

The new bins would be larger, at 96 gallons, and residents’ old bins would be converted to yard waste containers.

Republic would provide decals to place on the old bins to designate them for yard materials.

“Those residents that, in the past, were buying biodegradable bags won’t have to any more,” Potts said.

“They’ll be able to put it in the toter and we’ll dump it for them.”

Potts added the larger bins will make pickup more effi-

cient since several residents currently have overflowing bins.

“If I put the larger toters out, we will be more efficient,” Potts said.

There would be no changes to the recycling program or recycling bins.

Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said he liked the improvement because it would ensure that all residents’ yard waste would be picked up before composting facilities close Nov. 30.

The committee did not approve the contract at Wednesday’s meeting in order to discuss it further.

LOCAL BRIEF Slammers holding PA tryouts Tuesday JOLIET – “Pinch hitting for Adam Giacalone -one -one -one...

John Kukuruda -uda-uda-uda.”

Okay, manager Jeff Isom probably won’t use the right-handed pitcher as an extra bat this season, but anyone interested in being the public address announcer for the 2014 Joliet Slammers would do well to practice the more unusual names on the roster.

“We will pull some players off the Frontier League rosters with

longer or unusual names for the script sample,” Slammers Box Office Manager Heather Mills said.

Tryouts for the announcer position will be at 6:30 p.m.

Tuesday at Silver Cross Field.

Applicants may pre-register at 6 p.m. or by calling Mills at 815651-2040.

“We are looking for someone with previous radio or announcement experience and [applicants] should bring references relating to that,” Mills said. As of Thursday, six

applicants have told Mills they plan to audition.

Announcers are paid for each of the 54 regular season games and four exhibition games that will be held in Joliet this season.

“And hopefully the playoffs,” Mills added.

In addition to announcing players, prospects will have to work with the master of ceremonies for an on-field promotion, read advertisements and crowd announcements during the audition.

Rob Ayres Plainield Soccer Association president

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Members of a Plainfield Soccer Association U12 team scrimmage skills during practice March 31. The Plainfield Soccer Association and the Plainfield Township Park District have come to an agreement on field use.

Vikaas Shanker – vshanker@shawmedia.com

Rob Ayres, president of the Plainfield Soccer Association, speaks at the Plainfield Park District on Tuesday.

But it has been a frustrating season for PSA. “The lack of communication has been the real issue for all of this,” PSA President Rob Ayres said. “I’ve not seen anything like this the years I’ve been with PSA.” The park district has blamed former Executive Director Garrett Peck for many of the problems.

Ayres and park district President Peter Hurtado are still in talks to repair the damage. They both say they want the same thing – to get kids playing soccer on the fields.

And Hurtado has history with the PSA. He coached its teams for five years, from 2006 to 2010, because his children were participants of Peter Hurtado the program.

But in 2010, Hurtado said he quit because he felt PSA derided him for talking to a referee after a game. Hurtado said that because kids were allowed to referee some games, they weren’t properly trained.

“Sometimes they didn’t

know the rules,” Hurtado said. “I was coaching one game and the referee made a bad call. I told the kid, for the future don’t make the same mistake. Then some lady from PSA came to me and started screaming at me.”

Hurtado said after that incident, he decided to not coach PSA soccer and instead coached a Naperville girls team for two more seasons.

But despite that incident, Hurtado said he was willing to work with PSA to make the program more affordable once he was on the park district board. He didn’t bring the topic of affordability to the PSA when he was coaching, but he said it was one of his main objectives.

Ayres and Hurtado talked early last year about lowering the fees after Hurtado brought up the issue during a meeting with sports groups over concession stand fees, according to several email exchanges sent to The Herald-News.

Hurtado said that several leagues in Bolingbrook, Shorewood and Joliet charge from $25 to $50 less than the $120 fee a child for PSA. He was not opposed to eliminating a $20 fee a participant that the park district charges

PSA for field use if it meant lowering the dues for PSA. “We would have been happy to lower our fees,” Rob Ayres said. But after that conversation, Ayres said PSA didn’t hear back from Hurtado and found out the park district was starting its own program.

The park district’s soccer program starts April 12 and will have about 260 kids ranging between ages 4 and 9. PSA has teams for children in those age groups, as well.

But park district officials say they will be a feeder program for PSA. “Most of the children that play in the park district are younger,” said Frank Hernandez, the sports group and soccer program manager for the district. “This is really more of a feeder program for PSA and the Chicago Fire affiliate.”

Fees for the park district program are $45 for pre-kindergarten, $55 for first- and second-graders and $70 for third-graders. Hernandez said coaches are parent volunteers, and it’s a recreational program that could prepare kids for competitive teams as they get older.

Ayres said he hasn’t heard anything about that. But he would welcome it becoming a feeder into PSA. “We would absolutely have that,” Ayres said. “All the stuff going on with the fields, it’s just taking away from the true focus.”

While the final field use agreement isn’t ideal, PSA officials said it’s a sign the park district is starting to accommodate PSA again.

Ayres and Hurtado have both said they will sit down and try to flesh out the problems between the organizations.

LAINFIELD – It’s been a complicated preseason for youth soccer in Plainfield this year.

What has traditionally been a mutually supportive relationship between the Plainfield Soccer Association and the park district turned into what has looked like a power struggle over the future of youth soccer in Plainfield.

Officials with the Plainfield Soccer Association, the traditional youth soccer program in town, at times have accused the park district of trying to sabotage its program.

Plainfield Township Park District created its own soccer program for the first time this year. The park board president has been critical of the PSA. And the PSA president has accused park employees of stealing their equipment.

The two sides appear to be sorting out their differences now.

But it started with PSA officials having trouble getting invoices for the money they owed the park district in 2013.

They eventually released a check to the park district without getting an invoice.

Then they realized the park district was starting its own program, which they argue will be in direct competition with PSA. On March 18, PSA officials noticed that equipment they stored in a shed for the winter was stolen, and locks were changed on the shed door.

The shed was PSA property on park district land, and officials suspect the equipment may have been taken by district employees on the direction of upper-level management. A police investigation is pending.

PSA officials were uncertain whether the district was shutting them out. The district allowed outside organizations to sign up for fields before PSA. This week, both sides announced that they have come to an agreement on field use.

Campaign heats up over Evergreen Terrace Mayoral candidates Giarrante, O’Dekirk swap political punches in Joliet

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – In what looks to be the opening salvo of a spirited 2015 mayoral election, District 2 Councilman Bob O’Dekirk and Mayor Tom Giarrante on Thursday went after each other over a citywide violent crime report that focused on Evergreen Terrace.

O’Dekirk issued a statement calling Mayor Tom Giarrante’s release of the report at Tuesday’s council session “a political stunt” Bob O’Dekirk motivated by the mayor’s “habitual political shenanigans.”

“This is an attempt by the mayor to skew data for political purposes,” O’Dekirk said in a news release. “It presents a negative image of Joliet and labels law-abiding residents as criminals just because they live in subsidized housing.”

O’Dekirk announced in January that he plans to challenge Giarrante in the 2015 Joliet mayoral election.

O’Dekirk said he questioned the wisdom of releasing the report, noting that “downtown Joliet, and the city as a whole, already suffer from a perception problem.”

“The advertising of crime statistics from some of Joliet’s toughest neighborhoods only perpetuates a negative image,” O’Dekirk said in his news release. “This stigma adversely effects the residents who call Joliet home.”

Giarrante than put out his own statement noting that Councilman Jim McFarland requested the police department generate the report, and questioned why O’Dekirk criticized its release.

“He pretends to support ‘transparency’ and then wants to deny citizens access to information about their safety,” Giarrante said Thursday in his news release. “You can’t have it both ways.

“This discussion began when some members of the council stated they thought Evergreen Terrace was safer than other areas of the city.

It isn’t, and this report proves them to be wrong,” Giarrante said. “I believe every resident deserves to know the negative

“I have led this city back to a balanced budget without reducing city services despite the lack of support from Councilman O’Dekirk, and I am also constantly working to support new and existing businesses that bring jobs to the city.”

Tom Giarrante Joliet mayor effect Evergreen Terrace has had on the surrounding neighborhoods as well as downtown Joliet.”

O’Dekirk, a former police officer, said Giarrante used selective pieces of the Uniform Crime Reports – crime data published annually by the FBI – for political gain.

O’Dekirk said the report was typical of any large city, showing that crime was down

community-wide while higher at subsidized housing projects. O’Dekirk said most large cities across the state and nation show similar trends.

Giarrante said he took exception to claims that data in the police department report was “skewed.’”

“I have nothing but respect for the men and women of the department, and I am deeply offended by Mr. O’Dekirk’s lack of confidence in their abilities,” Giarrante said.

O’Dekirk called the release of the report “an insult to every resident and business owner in Joliet” and said he feared that it would harm home values and business prosperity in the future.

“I was shocked to hear that the Mayor had sunk to this level with his habitual political shenanigans,’ ” O’Dekirk said. “We are not Detroit, but the mayor continues to highlight the city’s weaknesses and not its strengths. I’m a downtown business owner myself. I guess according to the mayor I should leave. How does the mayor expect to attract or retain legitimate business when he puts out a report

like this?”

Giarrante responded that “O’Dekirk has continuously questioned Joliet’s legal fight effort over Evergreen Terrace, and now he wants to hide negative information on the crime that occurs there.”

“It makes you wonder whose side he is on, the city of Joliet’s or the ownership of Evergreen Terrace?” Giarrante said in his news release.

O’Dekirk said the mayor’s actions reveal a lack of leadership.

“The mayor is supposed to be a supporter and a leader in the city,” O’Dekirk said. “And it has been painfully obvious since he took office that he is neither. We are a city without leadership at a time that we need strong, professional leadership.”

Giarrante countered that O’Dekirk simply isn’t paying attention.

“I have led this city back to a balanced budget without reducing city services despite the lack of support from Councilman O’Dekirk, and I am also constantly working to support new and existing businesses that bring jobs to the city,” Giarrante said.

Dunkin’ Donuts plan being revamped Plainfield neighbors have been against it

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The downtown Plainfield Dunkin’ Donuts plan is being changed to accommodate concerns from nearby residents, Village Planner Michael Garrigan said.

Discussion on the plan originally scheduled for Tuesday’s plan commission meeting was moved to the April 15 meeting.

“The developer wants the opportunity to revise the

plan and work with neighbors to see if there is common ground,” Garrigan said.

The plan, presented by Lee Fry Companies Inc., was to build a Dunkin’ Donuts along with two more storefronts on the diamond shaped property south of Walgreens near the intersection of Route 59 and Main Street. The drive-thru would have entered and exited onto Arnold Street, which contains an array of homes and is the site of a school bus stop.

The plan was presented March 4 to the plan commission. After discussion about the impact the drive-thru and

heavy traffic would have on the residents of Arnold Street, it failed in committee.

Those residents also showed up at a March 17 village board meeting and voiced how the plan would present a safety hazard for children, cause disruptive noise and traffic, and doesn’t fit in with the Plainfield Vision for Division plan.

The Dunkin’ Donuts plan was presented as part of the village’s Vision for Division initiative, which seeks community input on development along Route 59. The response to the plan on the village’s

“That’s what the site is for, to get community input,”

Garrigan said, adding that the developers have asked the commission to give them time to revise plan for the May 20 meeting.

Health coverage enrollment surges in March Will County officials helped about 2,900 residents sign up

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County health officials saw a late surge of enrollments for health insurance as about 2,900 people signed up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Monday was the deadline for people across the United States to receive a health insurance plan in the health insurance marketplace. Howev-

er, federal officials said after the deadline that people could still get covered as long as they tried to enroll beforehand.

According to Get Covered Illinois, uninsured residents who tried to apply for coverage but ran into issues before the deadline have until April 15 to complete enrollment.

The next open enrollment period won’t begin until Nov. 15.

Roughly 58 percent of the total enrollments done through the department happened in March, said Vic Reato, media services manager for the department. County health officials managed to

help enroll 2,904 people.

Will County officials had estimated there were about 60,000 eligible uninsured people in the county.

The number reflects only those people who enrolled through the Will County Health Department but not all in the county who signed up for coverage under the Affordable Care Act. About 909 of those people enrolled through the health insurance marketplace while the rest went for expanded Medicaid coverage, Reato said.

Health Department staff provided assistance to 7,149

people and had in-person contact with more than 3,000 people.

In Illinois more than 333,000 people signed up for coverage, with roughly 113,700 purchasing a plan through the marketplace at the end of February and additional 220,000 enrolling in expanded Medicaid coverage, according to Get Covered Illinois.

Nationally, more than 7 million people signed up for coverage through the health insurance marketplace, federal officials announced Tuesday.

Additional enrollment efforts came from other orga-

nizations in the county, such as the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic.

Shawn West, executive director for the clinic, said she hasn’t noticed a drop in the number of patients at the clinic because they got health insurance coverage. She said it’ll take time for Medicaid applications to be processed.

On the national front, it’ll also take time to see the number of uninsured people decrease.

“I think the federal government really put forth a Herculean effort and it will take time,” she said. “It will take years for everyone to get covered.”

The Forest Preserve District of Will County will hold its sixth-annual “Hugs for Hounds” Easter egg hunt for dogs April 19 in the Hammel Woods Dog Park in Shorewood.

Forest preserve hosts Easter egg hunt for dogs April 19 THE HERALD-NEWS SHOREWOOD – The Forest Preserve District of Will County will hold its sixth-annual “Hugs for Hounds” Easter egg hunt for dogs April 19 in the Hammel Woods Dog Park in Shorewood.

People can bring their dogs to search for Easter eggs hidden around the dog park. The eggs are filled with prizes or dog treats.

The participation fee is $5 per dog, which supports the care, handling and training for Jullo, the Forest Preserve District’s search and rescue dog.

Dogs must be on leashes during the event and accompanied by owners at all

times. Dogs must be current on rabies vaccines.

Registration at the event begins at 10:30 a.m. The egg hunt begins at 11 a.m.

Pre-registration is encouraged. Registration forms can be downloaded from the Forest Preserve District website, ReconnectWithNature.org.

The dog park is located at Hammel Woods – DuPage River Access, which is on Black Road east of State Route 59 in Shorewood. For information and registration, call 815-722-8193.

“Hugs for Hounds” is hosted by the Forest Preserve District and Shorewood H.U.G.S., a charitable group that supports other organizations.

JOLIET – Nurses at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center this week overwhelming rejected a contract offer made by administration, but both sides remain optimistic that a compromise will be reached without a strike.

Union members voted 497 to 38 against the hospital’s threeyear contract offer, which affects nearly 800 nurses at the hospital.

Both sides began bargaining in January. The last contract expired March 24.

A change in staffing policy has administrators and union officials butting heads at the bargaining table, said Tom Ellett, staff specialist with the Illinois Nurses Association, the union that represents nurses at Presence Saint Joseph.

Ellett said nurses want the contract to include mandatory staffing levels that would fluctuate based on need and nurseto-patient ratio – similar to regulations seen more recently in some California hospitals.

“In large part, what we’re trying to ensure is that there’s sufficient staff able to provide

necessary to get a decent contact. Of course, that remains to be seen.”

Tom Ellett Staff specialist with the Illinois Nurses Association the best level of care for patients,” Ellett said. “Personally, our members feel that their jobs are safer if there is sufficient staff. Then, they’re certainly not overworked and they don’t have to run themselves ragged.”

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

Lisa Lagger, spokeswoman for the hospital, said such mandated ratios in California have not proven to improve patient outcomes such as mortality rates and medication errors.

Allowing both staff and administration to resolve staffing issues at the unit level “affords the Medical Center the flexibility to set staffing levels, with staff nurse input, to best match the needs of our patients,” Lagger said in an email.

Both sides have yet to agree

on salary increases. Union officials want a 4 percent increase in pay per year over three years, while administrators are calling for a 2 percent increase, Ellett said.

“I do think there’s a strong possibility of us being able to reach an agreement on what wages will be,” he said. “I don’t see that as difficult to deal with as the staffing levels in question.”

Lagger said the hospital’s offer “reflects an approximate $4 million investment in our nurses over the next three years, including a [6 percent] wage increase over the course of the contract, and various other enhancements.”

Ellett said he’s optimistic with negotiations continuing on Wednesday.

“Our expectation is that a strike isn’t going to be necessary to get a decent contact.

Of course, that remains to be seen,” he said. “That’s up to the employer as much as anything, but at this point, we’re still very optimistic that this contract will be resolved without something dramatic like a strike.”

Lagger said hospital officials are disappointed with the nurses’ vote this week, adding that they will continue to bargain in good faith to reach an agreement.

LOCAL BRIEFS WILMINGTON TOWNSHIP – A Coal City man was critically injured when his SUV rolled over early Thursday.

Shortly after 2 a.m. police and firefighters were called to Manteno Road and Route 102 where a silver 2001 Chevrolet Blazer had rolled over on the driver’s side.

Will County Sheriff’s traffic investigators reported the 23-yearold driver was southbound on Manteno Road when “he failed to negotiate a curve ... drove into

the ditch on the right side, rolled the vehicle and was ejected.”

The driver suffered a broken neck, broken back and head trauma.

He was taken to Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee in critical condition and underwent surgery.

Riverside staff said the patient was transferred to Loyola Medical Center later in the day.

JOLIET – A grease fire caused enough damage Wednesday to shut down the kitchen of Gompers Junior High School.

Battalion Chief Jeff Carey said fryer oil had been changed Tuesday and the staff began cooking about 6 a.m.

At 9:44 a.m. oil ignited and kitchen staff tried to smother the flame with a baking sheet, Carey said.

“Then a maintenance engineer pulled the fire alarm

and tried a fire extinguisher, but that was unsuccessful as well,” Carey said.

Finally the kitchen hood’s suppression system activated, but was also unable to stop the fire.

Firefighters arrived and were able to contain the damage to the kitchen. No injuries were reported.

“The building had a lot of smoke, so students were sent to the gym while it was drawn out with [fans] and the ventilation system,” Carey said.

Firefighters spent several hours at the scene.

Governor stresses plans for student aid expansion becca Babel, the director of student financial aid.

Students who don’t receive a MAP grant are faced with difficult choices to pay for college, she said.

“They might work a second job or it might affect the number of classes they take,” Babel said. “They might not buy all of the books for their classes. I think they make all sorts of choices to cope with it.”

Students could receive a maximum of $4,720 for the 2013-14 school year, which covers about 35 percent of tuition and fees, Babel said.

The MAP grant used to cover almost all of a student’s tuition, but the grant has covered less as the cost of college has risen, she added.

NIU President Doug Baker echoed Babel’s sentiment about the rising cost of tuition as well as Quinn’s concerns about the average $24,000 debt burden placed on new college grads.

“Rising tuition has priced some students out,” Baker said. “I’d welcome a $50 million increase in MAP grants.

I think the governor’s very serious and it appears he has some support in Springfield.”

Quinn also addressed the $12 million budget cut NIU would face if the tax increase ended. The cut would drop NIU’s budget from $93.4 million to $81.8 million, adding to the 21 percent the university’s budget has already been cut in the past decade. Baker will visit Springfield next week to share his concerns.

“It’s clear,” Baker said, “higher education would be hurt tremendously.”

Democratic nominee for Lt. Gov. Paul Vallas discusses Gov. Pat Quinn’s plan for the Illinois education budget during a news conference Tuesday at the Kane County Government Center in Geneva.

Quinn’s running mate criticizes Rauner’s plan

By ASHLEY SLOBODA asloboda@shawmedia.com GENEVA – Gov. Pat Quinn’s running mate Thursday criticized Republican challenger Bruce Rauner’s plan to roll back state income tax rates during a news conference held Thursday at the Kane County Government Center in Geneva.

“Education will take a major hit,” said Paul Vallas, the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor.

Vallas – who has 17 years’ experience as a school superintendent – said rolling back the income tax rates would have a $2 billion net impact.

That would result in nearly $1 billion in cuts to schools, he said, explaining education accounts for 52 percent of the discretionary portion of the general fund.

All school districts would feel the effects, Vallas said, but the poorer districts would feel it the most. Losses would amount to $19.2 million at Elgin School District U-46, $13.7 million at East Aurora School District and nearly $6.2 million at Community Unit School District 300, according

to his information.

He said schools already have cut from their budgets.

“I think school districts are looking at their budgets all the time,” he said.

As a result of the cuts, Vallas said, inequality among school districts would become more pronounced, the quality of schools would suffer and property taxes would increase.

Under Quinn’s budget plan, Vallas said, an additional $6 billion would be invested in education over the next five years.

Mike Schrimpf, a spokesman for Rauner’s campaign, issued a written response that accused Quinn of raising taxes and still cutting education funding by $600 million.

“Misleading the voters has been a hallmark of Quinn’s for the last four years, and with that kind of record, it’s no surprise the ‘Quinnocchio’ ticket is now making things up about Bruce,” Schrimpf said.

“Bruce will make education a top priority and balance the budget without more tax increases by creating a growth economy and restructuring government.”

DeKALB – Adrianna Carr has dreams of working in public relations for a company like Disney, which she said wouldn’t be possible without state tuition assistance to earn her business management degree from Northern Illinois University.

Carr is one of 140,000 Illinois college students who receive a Monetary Award Program, or MAP, grant from the State of Illinois. Had she waited a couple of weeks longer to apply, she could have been one of the more than 150,000 who qualified, but were denied because funding had run out.

The state of Illinois awarded $373 million in MAP grants last year to Illinois residents attending in-state universities who demonstrate financial need, with money going to less than half of those who were eligible, according to the Illinois Student Assistance Commission.

Under the budget proposed by Gov. Pat Quinn, about 20,000 more students across the state could receive MAP grants with the help of a $50 million bump in funding to the program included in Quinn’s fiscal year 2015 budget.

Quinn flew Thursday to DeKalb and visited the NIU campus to promote his budget, which calls for making Illinois’ “temporary” 67 percent income tax hike to become permanent and doubling MAP grant funding over the next five years.

“We want to make sure we invest in scholarships,” Quinn said. “We understand how important college education is to the families and students of Illinois, but it’s getting more and more expensive. We want to make sure it’s affordable to working families.”

A law passed in 2011, with solely Democratic support, increased the personal income tax rate from 3 percent to 5 percent. It was designed

to be temporary, with the provision that the rate would decline to 3.75 percent on Jan. 1.

Quinn warned that the MAP program would be cut by $50 million if this is allowed to happen, leaving 21,000 more Illinois college students across the state without grants. “ W e c a nnot have the money run out and [have] a lot of the dreams extinguished,” Quinn said.

Pat Quinn “That’s not the right way to go in Illinois or America.

We’ve got to invest in the people who want to learn. We want a lifelong learning society.”

Quinn will run for re-election in November against Republican Bruce Rauner. Republicans have condemned Quinn’s plan for extending the unpopular income-tax increase as a broken promise to the public. If the tax increase does roll back, it would create an estimated $1.6 billion revenue decline for the 2015 fiscal year and an even greater decrease the following year.

Rauner has said the revenue shortfall can be made up through budget cuts, though he has not specified what exactly he would cut.

About one in three NIU students received MAP grants last year, but some 1,400 who qualified did not receive one last year because there wasn’t enough funding available, according to Re-

Schools consider new test fee amid budget worries

By KERRY LESTER The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – As they juggle school-reform demands with budget cuts, state education officials are considering retaining a traditional college-readiness test for high school juniors but passing the cost along to school districts and possibly the students’ families.

The move would be just one cost-cutting possibility after Illinois schools have seen close to $1 billion in cuts since 2009, and as educators warn of more drastic cuts when revenues fall if lawmakers decide not to extend a temporary income tax hike set to expire at the end of this year.

State board officials estimate it will cost $14 million for all high school juniors to take the ACT test next year, which they want to keep even though it is scheduled to be phased out with the implementation of other exams.

But they are considering providing the test free only to low-income students and requiring other families to shoulder the $52.50 cost next year.

“That’s one option we’ll have to consider if the funding situation doesn’t go our way,” State Superintendent of Education Christopher Koch told The Associated Press.

How to fund testing is one crucial component of the current state budget debate, as lawmakers grapple with whether to let the state’s in-

Joe Moore (right) and his mother Donna talk about the upcoming ACT assessment test Tuesday at their home in Springfield. Donna, a school board member in Springfield’s high school district and a mother of seven children, ages 24 to 9, says her own children have largely viewed the state-paid ACT tests as just a practice before taking the test several more times. come tax increase roll back as scheduled from its current 5 percent to 3.75 percent in January, and what to do with the available state funds at hand.

Implementing a new set of state-mandated exams is already making the state testing budget balloon.

By keeping the ACT and adding the new exams at the elementary and high school levels, the cost of state testing would total $54 million next year, double this year’s $27 million.

“The ACT is one thing that parents and students want,” said State Rep. Robert Pritchard of Hinckley, the House Republican spokesman on education funding.

He suggested pinching state funding from other programs in order to pay for the test.

“There are lots [of programs] we can’t afford right now,” he said.

The possibility of a new testing fee also is not sitting well with some parents.

“To me that’s a cop-out,” said Gary Percy, the father of two teenage daughters at Elgin District high schools.

“The state really shouldn’t be passing the buck like that.”

Under new reforms, the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness of College and Careers (PARCC) tests will be used across the state’s 860 school districts next year, replacing the ACT as a state-mandated test for high school juniors. But the transition to the new test is problematic, as the PARCC tests haven’t yet been accepted by colleges as an approved en-

trance exam.

Nearly 143,000 high school juniors across the state took the ACT last year, state report card data shows. Currently, the ACT is given free in schools as part of two-day testing in April to measure college readiness, a graduation requirement from the state since 2002.

“My kids always took it as a practice,” Donna Moore, a Springfield mother of seven children ages 24 to 9, said of the state-paid ACT. “And then they would go and take the ACT and try to raise their scores and we’d for pay it.”

Many college-bound students take the exam separately out of school – for an existing fee – and use their scores on school applications, or to practice for the school-issued exam.

The PARCC tests are linked to Common Core standards adopted by a majority of states across the country. The newer tests, which measure critical thinking and problem solving, are designed to give a more accurate reflection of what students are learning in the classroom.

But officials acknowledge that the transition to a new method poses problems.

“I do think it’s the right direction, but at the same time, we feel we’d like to keep the ACT close by,” Koch said. “I think we need to see how this new test works and ... check [students’] performance against the ACT and make decisions on it when we have good information.”

Illinois cracking down on feral swine populations SPRINGFIELD – Illinois officials have announced new rules about the release, transportation and harvest of feral swine.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources said Monday that the new rules will deter people from bringing feral swine into Illinois to promote hunting them.

They’ll also help the agency better manage feral swine. The agency says it wants to prevent a culture of hunting wild hogs from developing.

The IDNR said the animals can spread disease and damage wildlife habitats, wetlands and crops. State officials say they’ve worked with federal officials to eliminate a population of feral swine in Clay, Effingham, Fayette and Marion counties.

The new rules make it illegal to hunt or shoot feral swine outside of certain deer seasons.

State agency: Winter fish kills across Illinois normal GALESBURG – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources said fish kills on lakes and ponds around the state can be blamed on the hard winter.

DNR spokesman Chris Young says that the deaths of hundreds of fish were caused by thick ice that limited sunlight getting to the water. That shut down the growth of oxygen-producing plants.

But Young said the die-offs that have happened in locations such as Citizens Lake in Monmouth and Eureka Lake in Eureka are normal in harsh winters.

Illinois lawmakers fear blame for Chicago pension tax hike The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – A fasttracked plan to overhaul two Chicago city-pension programs slowed in the Illi-

nois House on Thursday, as nervous lawmakers said they fear backlash for a massive property-tax increase even if they don’t directly approve it.

House Speaker Michael

Madigan wanted quick House approval for Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan after the mayor said he has agreement with major unions covering 57,000 workers and

retirees to reduce by half a $20 billion pension debt over 40 years. But half the cost for municipal workers’ and laborers’ pensions would be covered by a five-year, $750

million property tax hike that the Chicago City Council must approve.

How that features in necessary legislation has some in the Capitol jittery.

FDA OKs an easy-to-use heroin overdose antidote The ASSOCIATED PRESS

AP photo

An unidentified soldier holds flowers Thursday to drop off at Fort Hood’s main gate for shooting victims in Fort Hood, Texas. A soldier opened fire Wednesday on fellow service members at the Fort Hood military base, killing three people and wounding 16 before committing suicide.

Argument may have preceded the deadly attack at Fort Hood The ASSOCIATED PRESS FORT HOOD, Texas – The soldier who killed three people at Fort Hood may have argued with another service member before the attack, and investigators believe his unstable mental health contributed to the rampage, authorities said Thursday.

The base’s senior officer, Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, said there is a “strong possibility” that Spc. Ivan Lopez had a “verbal altercation” with another soldier or soldiers immediately before Wednesday’s shooting, which unfolded on the same Army post that was the scene of an infamous 2009 mass shooting.

However, there’s no indication that he targeted specific soldiers, Milley said.

Lopez never saw combat during a deployment to Iraq and had shown no apparent risk of violence before the shooting, officials said.

The 34-year-old truck driver from Puerto Rico seemed to have a clean record that showed no ties to extremist groups. But the Army secretary promised that investigators would keep all avenues open in their inquiry of the

soldier whose rampage ended only after he fired a final bullet into his own head.

“We’re not making any assumptions by that. We’re going to keep an open mind and an open investigation. We will go where the facts lead us,” Army Secretary John McHugh said, explaining that “possible extremist involvement is still being looked at very, very carefully.”

Scott & White Memorial Hospital in nearby Temple, Texas, was still caring for five of the 16 people who were wounded. Three were in serious condition, and two others were in good condition and could be discharged later Thursday.

Hospital officials had no information about patients being treated elsewhere, including at a base hospital. But because the hospital is the area’s only trauma center, the patients with the most serious injuries were probably taken there.

Within hours of Wednesday’s assault, investigators started looking into whether Lopez had lingering psychological trauma from his time in Iraq. The shooter had sought help for depression, anxiety

and other problems, and was taking medication, military officials said.

Investigators searched the soldier’s home Thursday and questioned his wife, Fort Hood spokesman Chris Haug said.

Lopez apparently walked into a building Wednesday and began firing a .45-caliber semi-automatic pistol. He then got into a vehicle and continued firing before entering another building. He was eventually confronted by military police in a parking lot, according to Lt. Gen. Mark Milley, senior officer on the base.

As he came within 20 feet of a police officer, the gunman put his hands up but then reached under his jacket and pulled out his gun. The officer drew her own weapon, and the suspect put his gun to his head and pulled the trigger a final time, Milley said.

Lopez grew up in Guayanilla, a town of fewer than 10,000 people on the southwestern coast of Puerto Rico, with a mother who was a nurse at a public clinic and a father who did maintenance for an electric utility company.

WASHINGTON – Friends and family will be able to take the first step to save a loved one from an overdose of heroin or powerful painkillers called opioids.

The Food and Drug Administration on Thursday approved an easy-to-use device that automatically injects the right dose of an overdose antidote named naloxone before an ambulance arrives. Doctors could prescribe it for family members or caregivers to keep on hand, in a pocket or a medicine cabinet.

Opioids include legal prescription painkillers, such as OxyContin and Vicodin, as well as illegal street drugs like heroin.

Called Evzio, the device contains naloxone, a long-used antidote for overdoses that is usually administered by syringe in ambulances or emergency rooms. But with the rise in drug overdose deaths, there has been a growing push to equip more people with the protection.

The FDA said Evzio’s design makes it easy for anyone to administer. Once Evzio is turned on, it provides verbal instructions, much like defibrillators that laymen frequently use to help people who collapse with cardiac arrest. It is about the size of a credit card or small cellphone.

The antidote is not a substitute for immediate medical care, the FDA said, as anyone who has overdosed will need additional treatment.

Still uncertain is how much the antidote will cost. Executives of the drug’s manufacturer, kaléo, Inc., of Richmond, Va., said it is too soon to say, but they are working with health insurers to get broad coverage.

Eric Edwards of kaléo said the antidote is intended not just for heroin or prescription drug addicts, but also for people who have accidental overdoses, unexpected drug interactions or

are on very high doses of the drugs. People who overdose may suffer slower breathing or heart rates or loss of consciousness.

FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg said in a statement that 16,000 people die every year due to opioid-related overdoses, and that drug overdose deaths are now the leading cause of injury death in the United States, surpassing motor vehicle crashes. She said the increase in overdose deaths largely has been driven by prescription drug overdoses.

“While the larger goal is to reduce the need for products like these by preventing opioid addiction and abuse, they are extremely important innovations that will help to save lives,” Hamburg said.

The announcement follows several state efforts to widen access to the antidote. At least 17 states and the District of Columbia now allow naloxone – commonly known by the brand name Narcan – to be distributed to the public. Some of those states allow for third parties, such as a family member or friend of an intravenous drug user, to be prescribed it.

On Thursday, the state of New York announced that every state and local law enforcement officer will now carry syringes and inhalers of naloxone.

Police in Quincy, Mass., have been carrying naloxone nasal spray since 2010 and said in July 2013 that they used naloxone 179 times, reversing 170 of those overdoses – a 95 percent success rate.

Some have questioned the idea, however. Maine Gov. Paul LePage has opposed a bill that would allow health care professionals to prescribe it for caregivers and family members and allow more emergency responders to carry the drug, saying it could raise Medicaid costs. He vetoed a similar bill last year, arguing that it could provide a false sense of security that abusers are somehow safe if they have a prescription nearby.

The medical examiner’s office released two more victim names Thursday. Gloria Halstead, 67, and Jovon E. Mangual, 13, both of Arlington, died of multiple blunt force injuries. Both had been listed as missing.

WASHINGTON – The Senate Intelligence Committee voted Thursday to release parts of a hotly contested, secret report that harshly criticizes CIA terror interrogations after 9/11, and the White House said it would instruct intelligence officials to cooperate fully.

The result sets the stage for what could be the fullest public accounting of the Bush administration’s record when it comes to waterboarding and other “enhanced interrogation techniques.” The panel voted 11-3 to order the declassification of almost 500 pages of the 6,300-page review, which concludes the harsh methods employed at CIA-run prisons overseas were excessively cruel and ineffective in producing valuable intelligence.

Even some Republicans who agree with the spy agency that the findings are inaccurate voted in favor of declassification, saying it was import-

ant for the country to move on.

“The purpose of this review was to uncover the facts behind the secret program and the results, I think, were shocking,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., the committee chairwoman, said. “The report exposes brutality that stands in sharp contrast to our values as a nation. It chronicles a stain on our history that must never be allowed to happen again. This is not what Americans do.”

The intelligence committee and the CIA are embroiled in a bitter dispute related to the three-year study. Senators accuse the agency of spying on their investigation and deleting files. The CIA says Senate staffers illegally accessed information. The Justice Department is reviewing competing criminal referrals.

As a result of Thursday’s vote, the CIA will start scanning the report’s contents for any passages that could compromise national security.

EVERETT, Wash. – As medical examiners painstakingly piece together the identities and lives of the people killed when a mudslide wiped out a small Washington community, a mystery troubles them.

One of the 30 bodies found does not fit with descriptions on the missing persons list, which as of Thursday included 15 people, according to the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office.

Ukraine: Yanukovych ordered snipers to shoot

By MARIA DANILOVA The Associated Press KIEV, Ukraine – Ukraine’s interim authorities accused the country’s ousted president of ordering snipers to open fire on protesters and getting help from Russian security agents to battle his own people – but their report Thursday provided no evidence directly linking him to the bloodbath in Kiev.

Acting Interior Minister Arsen Avakov also charged that his predecessor employed gangs of killers, kidnappers and thugs to terrorize and undermine the opposition during Ukraine’s tumultuous winter of discontent.

The preliminary findings revealed by Kiev’s new lead-

ership examined the months of anti-government protests that culminated in the deaths in February over 100 people in Kiev, mostly protesters.

That violence forced a truce between the opposition and the government, but the arrange- Viktor ment quickly Yanukovych collapsed and President Viktor Yanukovych fled to Russia.

In the weeks since the bloodshed, Russia seized and then formally annexed Crimea, Ukraine’s strategic Black Sea peninsula, and the U.S. and the European Union

slapped sanctions on those responsible, mainly Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.

Also Thursday, Ukraine sent 16 senior officers to Bulgaria to join a NATO military exercise in a very public demonstration of cooperation between the alliance and the crisis-torn former Soviet republic. The computer-simulation drills involved over 700 troops from 13 NATO members and partner nations and were being held just a few hundred miles away from Crimea.

The crisis now gripping Ukraine has its roots in three days of bloodshed that peaked on Feb. 20.

Speaking at a televised press conference in Kiev, Ava-

kov said police snipers at the time shot at demonstrators near the city’s central square, known as the Maidan, as they walked toward the government district. He said 17 people were killed by government snipers positioned at the October Palace cultural center and that one government sniper alone killed as many as eight people.

“The previous leadership of the Interior Ministry and the Berkut [riot police] did everything possible to ensure that any investigations would be impossible. Clothes were burned, weapons discarded and documents destroyed,” Avakov said.

Prosecutor General Oleh Makhnitsky said 12 members

of an elite riot police unit named “Black Squadron” have been detained on suspicion of shooting protesters.

Ukrainian Security Service chief Valentyn Nalyvaichenko charged that Yanukovych himself had ordered the killings.

“What was planned under the guise of an anti-terrorist operation, and which was in fact an operation of mass killing of people, took place under the immediate and direct leadership of former president Yanukovych,” Nalyvaichenko said.

He did not elaborate on where he got his information, whether it was from witnesses, government documents, airline records or other sources.

Flight 370: What do we know? What will we ever know?

By TODD PITMAN The Associated Press BANGKOK – At the time – the evening of March 24 – it seemed like the breakthrough the world was waiting for.

In a hastily called speech, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak announced that an unprecedented analysis of satellite signals concluded that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 “ended” deep in the Indian Ocean, far from any possible refuge for the 239 souls aboard.

Finally, there was a solid explanation for what happened to the aircraft. A much more focused search could begin, and so perhaps could the grieving process for families from 14 countries. Najib’s announcement quieted wild speculation

about desert islands and terrorists and covert operations.

But four weeks after the plane disappeared, the apparent pivot in the search is proving to be not much of a pivot at all.

Not a single piece of wreckage from the lost plane has been found, not even after Najib Razak a new analysis led investigators to change the focus of their search yet again. The latest search area is based on extremely limited satellite data combined with radar data taken some five hours before the plane is believed to have gone down. It is, as one search official said, “a very inexact science.”

Illinois Concealed Carry Permit

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, whose country is coordinating the current search effort, spoke of “very credible leads” and “increasing hope” a day before Najib’s announcement. But on Thursday he said the search has become “the most difficult in human history.”

The aircraft could indeed still be in the area planes and ships from several countries have been combing for nearly a week. Currents change the area each day, but on Thursday it was a 86,000-square mile patch of ocean 1,040 miles northwest of Perth.

Each unsuccessful day adds to the skepticism.

“Without any kind of proof, uncertainty rules the day,” said Tim Brown, a satellite imagery

Classes Held Weekly Day and evenings available

expert at GlobalSecurity.org in Alexandria, Virginia. “People still can’t wrap their head around how a modern airplane that big could just go missing in the modern world.”

The focus of the search has changed repeatedly since air traffic controllers lost contact with the Boeing 777 between Malaysia and Vietnam. It began in the South China Sea, then shifted toward the Strait of Malacca to the west, where Malaysian officials eventually confirmed that military radar had detected the plane.

Will County’s Landmark for Good Eating

Then came evidence that the plane had continued flying for at least five hours after contact was lost. The plane automatically sent hourly signals to a satellite belonging to Inmarsat, a British company, after the plane’s transponder and all communication systems had shut down. The “pings” did not include specific location information, but the team of experts who studied them said they must have come from one of two vast arcs that ran through both the Southern and Northern hemispheres.

OUR VIEW

To help or not on interstate?

The circumstances that surround the November death of a motorist on Interstate 88 in western Illinois are perplexing.

Lee Catlin, 65, a retired teacher from Bettendorf, Iowa, apparently was driving eastbound on I-88 the night of Nov. 12 when he ran out of gas, got out of the car and began walking eastward.

Then, something went wrong.

Catlin was found dead the next morning about a quarter mile away from his car, about four miles west of Dixon. Authorities later said his blood-alcohol content was higher than the legal limit.

But his presence, while still alive, did not go unnoticed by fellow motorists.

Between 8:24 p.m. and 8:46 p.m. Nov. 12, at least three I-88 motorists reported seeing a man lying on the side of the highway, waving his arms. The motorists used their cellphones to report what they saw to authorities. None of the motorists stopped.

A state trooper and a state highway maintenance worker, dispatched to the scene, unfortunately did not find anyone along the darkened highway. It was not until about 8 a.m. Nov. 13 that Catlin’s body was found.

The tragedy provided plenty of material for Monday morning quarterbacks to debate.

Questions were raised as to why authorities failed to find Catlin after they were given details of his location.

Just as important, why did motorists who saw the man lying along the interstate continue on their way? Why didn’t they pull off the highway, call 911, wait for police to arrive, and direct them to the victim?

A sociology professor at Northern Illinois University said that stopping to help

Deadline pressure helps time management I talked to my friend and mentor Mike Carroll the other day. Mike’s a recently retired judge in my hometown, so I called him to see if he would marry Jennie and me this summer. That’s a subtle way to announce our engagement, isn’t it?

Anyway, he said he would. Then we got to talking about his retirement and the writing life. Prior to becoming a judge, Mike would sometimes write guest columns for the newspaper. He’s eloquent, funny and intelligent – you know, all the things I’m not.

He wrote a humorous piece about how you think you’re going to have all kinds of time when you retire but you end up feeling like you don’t have enough time. And how golf is more fun when you’re sneaking away from work for it.

I don’t play golf and I can never retire, so the whole column was sort of lost on me. But it got me to think-

RAMBLIN’ MAN David Porter ing about my own time management, which really is malfeasance of the highest order.

I don’t really manage time; it manages me. If the printer didn’t have a schedule, the newspaper would never get done. I need the deadline pressure to motivate myself. I can go all week wondering what I’m going to write about, but I don’t have a clue till I sit down in the chair with 20 minutes left to do it in.

I usually end up doing the bulk of my work late at night, which I like to say is by design, but it’s really by default. I tend to put off a lot of things until I have to do them. When I say I’ll do it today, it’s technically tomorrow.

I haven’t slept on a Monday night

in the nine weeks since I bought the newspaper.

While my system, if you can call it that, is not perfect and not for everybody, it works for me. My mornings are spent in slumber while my messages pile up. That allows me to deal with messages as a group rather than one at a time as they come in. Afternoons are spent gathering materials such as advertising and news stories.

Evenings often are spent attending events and meetings. Late evenings are spent organizing information and taking a little “me time.” With the Internet, I can catch up on TV shows and the news on my time.

I put in a full day, and usually more than a full day, but it’s carved up into segments. A lot of emails and phone calls are taken care of from the comfort of a cigar shop, so it doesn’t really feel like work. Layout, though,

Joliet area sports teams are ‘champions’

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, April 4, 2014

To the Editor: Joliet is proudly known as “The City of Champions” and for a great multitude of reasons, this designation holds true!

I would like to say that when considering the wonderful accomplishments of our local high school student/athletes, this designation would be expanded to say “Greater Will/ Grundy counties, where proud student/athletes achieve!” For when we take into consideration the newest successes of the Providence Catholic High School and Joliet West High School cheerleaders/ state qualifiers/placers, the

Minooka bowling team, Joliet Catholic girls basketball team (state second-place finishers), Joliet Catholic boys Basketball team (regional champs), how could anyone debate the “Champions” designations With the very exciting high school baseball, football, soccer, volleyball and track seasons just around the corner, more “Champions” will certainly be crowned!

All of our fantastic student/ athletes should be honored as “Champions” for their extra ordinary and totally unselfish efforts! Their schools, coaches and fans will enthusiastically agree.

David Marco Joliet

WRITE TO US

Newspaper life isn’t a job, it’s a lifestyle • PORTER Continued from page 17 requires long blocks of uninterrupted time, so that’s usually done in the wee hours of the night.

Could I do everything in a standard 8-hour workday?

Yes. But that would resemble work. It would require discipline and conformity, two things I loathe.

So, this disjointed time allocation would be a perfect job for me if I were to call it a job.

The newspaper isn’t a job, though. It’s a lifestyle.

I can’t imagine ever retiring. What would I do then?

The last editor, Harrison, was 72 when he hung up the title, but every day, you can go by the old newspaper office and you’ll find him there working on something.

That’s where I’ll be 20 some years from now.

I’m really the luckiest guy I know. The newspaper is my retirement plan. And in June, I’ll be even luckier because I will marry my best friend – if she doesn’t change her mind between now and then.

Interstate driving provides different dynamic than driving on hometown streets • INTERSTATE Continued from page 17 someone along an interstate highway is not necessarily a no-brainer.

Professor Kirk Miller said interstate drivers assume more anonymity than when they are on other roads.

They “are in their own pods, separate from other people on the road,” he said.

The “group dynamic” of interstate motorists is different than for people who drive along hometown streets,

country roads and rural highways. Out on the interstate, hurried drivers are more likely to assume that somebody else will pull over to help, or that authorities already have been contacted.

People may be more fearful of pulling over because of the perception that it’s more dangerous to do so, which has basis in fact.

People who pull over expose themselves to being struck by errant interstate traffic or parts, such as tires, that fly off vehicles going at high speed. Nighttime

heightens the danger.

Fear of becoming a crime victim prevents many from pulling over. In addition, “I don’t think any female driver is likely to stop in that situation,” Miller said.

Now that the top speed limit is 70 mph in Illinois, interstate motorists have less time to think about what they should do when overtaking someone in trouble.

The tragedy presents a challenge to every driver: What would you do in that situation?

Think about it.

Celtics shut out Wildcats to advance to WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament semifinals

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – One by one, Providence canceled the freshman baseball game, tennis matches, soccer games and track meet all scheduled for Thursday.

What didn’t succumb to the morning rain and chilly weather was the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament quarterfinal game at Providence.

“It’s chilly, but this is the Don Ladas Memorial Tournament. This tournament means a lot to us,’’ Providence coach Mark Smith said. “I said ‘We’re going to get this thing ready, no matter what.’

“We have a tarp. It does a pretty decent job, but it leaked a little bit this morning. We had a lot of work to do, but we got it ready. I’m sore, but it was worth it.”

It certainly was worth it for Providence, which scored twice in the fourth and seventh innings and got a complete game from starting pitcher Brent Villasenor in a 4-0 victory over Plainfield Central.

Providence (3-3) advances to the Saturday morning semifinals to face Minooka, an 11-0 winner over Joliet Central.

The weather isn’t likely to be much better for the weekend games.

“It’s kind of been like this all year,’’ Smith said.

“It’s hard to hit, it’s tough to throw. But, I told the guys, the way the weather is projecting through April, you’ve got to figure out how to play through it.”

Villasenor figured out how to stay warm off the field to remain effective on the mound.

“We’ve got a heater in the dugout,” he said. “Other than that, put a jacket on and deal with it because both teams have to play in these conditions. When you’re in the heat of the game, you don’t really notice it that much.”

The heat was on Villasenor in the fourth inning after singles by Plainfield Central’s Christian Armstrong and Austin Blazevic led to run-

“If you throw strikes, then the strike zone will expand. Throw strikes, trust your defense.”

Providence’s Brent Villasenor delivers a pitch during the third inning of Thursday’s game against Plainfield Central. ners at second and third with one out. Villasenor preserved the Celtics’ 2-0 lead by getting

back-to-back strikeouts from Nate Paprota and Simon Leclair. He threw 80 pitches and

scattered six hits.

“Really, everything was working,” Villasenor said of his first start. “If you throw strikes, then the strike zone will expand. Throw strikes, trust your defense.”

And he got the defense he needed from third baseman Justin Hunniford and a diving catch by left fielder Cam Galgano in the third.

Designated hitter Dylan Rosa (3 for 4) scored the game’s first run. He tripled to leadoff the top of the fourth and scored on a sacrifice fly

by Shawn Cavallone. Two errors led to Providence’s second run in the fourth.

Rosa started the two-run seventh with a single, stole second and scored on a double

by Galgano. Hunniford singled two batters later to give Providence the 4-0 lead.

“Playing in the cold is the same as when it’s warm, same mechanics,’’ Rosa said. “In the No. 4 hole I see a ton of curveballs. He [Plainfield Central’s Nick Rana] hung a few and I jumped on top of them.”

Leclair had two doubles for Central (1-2), but was thrown out in the second inning when he tried to stretch the hit into a triple.

“We just made too many mistakes, three errors that kind of hurt us and a couple baserunning mistakes,’’ Central coach John Rosner said.

“Nick [Rana] put us in good position once again.”

Indians arrange semifinal date with Providence in WJOL/Don Ladas tourney

ond hit of the inning and Tyler Paulsen belted a two-run home run.

“Brandon [Rossiter] is solid defensively so we may have him up with the varsity other times when Joe [Butler] pitches,” Petrovic said. “Joe is our regular third baseman.”

Petrovic said his lineup has been a series of “moving parts, especially when Joe pitches.” But one constant is Tyrell at the top.

Petrovic cleared his bench when the Indians got their big lead, and doubles by Gavin Pfieffer and Jon Vesper produced the 11th run in the fourth inning. Meanwhile, Mitch Malone and Trevor Maly each worked in relief and they combined with Butler on a one-hitter with nine strikeouts and one walk.

“It was really cold,” Petrovic said. “Overall, I was im-

pressed with the way we were able to play with the weather as bad as it was. Our pitchers walked one guy with frozen hands and our defense made plays when they did put the ball in play.”

“We finally got some hits together and we played good defense,” Tyrell said. “We have a lot of potential, we just have to find the right pieces.

We pitch well and play defense.”

Juan Cisneros, who did a creditable job in relief for Central (0-3), had the Steelmen’s hit, a third-inning single.

“Juan came in and did a good job, but it was the same story,” Central coach Tony Juarez said. “The second inning, we had to catch the ball and we didn’t, especially balls in the air to the outfield.

“We’re still learning what our pitchers can do as far as

hitting spots and how we can help them defensively. We’re not there yet. And offensively, we’re not good enough. We’re not going to win if we wait for people to walk us. We have to make contact.”

MINOOKA – Minooka has beaten ace Jake Godfrey and Providence once already this young baseball season.

Now it appears the Indians will be asked to do it again.

Minooka scored 10 runs in the second inning en route to an 11-0 victory Thursday over Joliet Central in the opening round of the WJOL/ Don Ladas Memorial Tournament. That vaults the Indians (3-1) into Saturday’s 11:30 a.m. semifinal at Providence against the Celtics, who may have Godfrey and his 94-mph heater ready to go.

“Godfrey’s a good buddy of mine,” Minooka shortstop and leadoff man Neal Tyrell said. “We played together multiple summers. It will be fun facing him again.”

Tyrell is difficult to keep off the bases, and once he is on first or second, his tendency is to not stay there long. He is nothing if not smart and aggressive.

“Neal not only is a great player but a great person, too,” Indians coach Jeff Petrovic said. “He is fun to watch.

He is a position player who is dominant. He gets us going.

He’s a true leader.”

Minooka lost the coin toss and thus was the visitor.

Tyrell started the game with a double to left-center field, added two singles, drove in a run and stole two bases.

One of his hits came in the second inning when sophomore Brandon Rossiter singled home two runs in his first varsity at-bat, Christian Sanchez doubled in a run, winning pitcher Joe Butler knocked in two with his sec-

Plainfield C. aims for improvement in 2014

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com Plainfield Central’s baseball team is off to a 1-2 start, having lost to West Chicago, beaten Morris and lost to Providence Catholic on Thursday in the first round of the WJOL/Don Ladas Memorial Tournament.

That doesn’t mean the Wildcats, who are coming off a 15-15 finish in 2013, are heading for a losing season.

The Morris team they beat went out and beat Minooka the next day, and Minooka had earlier beaten Providence Catholic, which beat Plainfield Central on Thursday.

That’s just baseball in this area. Everyone is competitive, and coach John Rosner’s club is in that mix.

The Wildcats return a lot of experience in the infield, as senior second baseman Christian Armstrong, junior third baseman Austin Blazevic and senior shortstop Matt Ryan all have last year’s varsity season under their belts. Senior outfielders Kyle Kudla and Nate Paprota and senior pitcher Nick Rana also are returning starters from last year’s club.

“We are looking to improve on a .500 record last year with a strong core of returning players,” Rosner

said. “The left side of the infield returns with two-year starter Matt Ryan and junior Austin Blazevic, who looks to have a big year. Nick Rana will be our leader on the mound.”

Blazevic will also pitch, as he got the win against Morris. Kudla, who got the save, and Jake Anderson have also already seen time on the hill.

“I don’t know if he [Blazevic] is going to overpower people, but as long as he’s down in the zone, he has a pretty good breaking ball,” Rosner said after the win against Morris. “And as long as we play good defense behind him, he’s going to have the chance to get some wins.”

Other players vying for time for the Wildcats this season will be Danny Brandon, Matthew Bunetta, John Kostelz, Mitchell Krippel, Simon Leclair, Ramsey Mallory Jr., Kevin Padilla, Asa Sprunger, Joshua Tesch, Austin Weitendorf and Samuel Wielgos.

“With the players we have returning and contributions from our newcomers, we should have a pretty nice season,” Rosner said.

“One of the main things is timely hitting, and we certainly had that in our win against Morris, getting a big hit with the bases loaded.”

GIRLS WATER POLO: LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 9, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 3

23

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

Miglorini is one of four Knights seniors who were part of the two state squads.

The others are Kristi Howe, Michelle Dundek and Liz Klock, who should be back soon from an injury. Junior Delaney Shepherd also was on Central’s two state qualifying teams.

Many of those performers contributed during Thursday’s victory . Miglorin i stopped 13 shots while Howe joined Kim Bernhard to lead the Knights with three goals apiece. Dundek and Shepherd also scored goals, as did Kristi Howe’s sister, Nikki Howe.

“We lost a great player from last year and have some big shoes to fill,” Kristi Howe

said. “So having the experience from the last two years is great. Sabrina is doing fantastic and we’re so lucky to have her. I love the fire that everyone has and their passion for the sport and we all want to get better. I’m excited about how we’ll do. It should be fun.”

The first three quarters were mirror images as the Knights (5-3) scored two goals while the Warriors (6-3) collected one score. Central recorded all three tallies in the finale.

Nikki Howe and Dundek scored for the hosts in the first period and Kristi Howe and Shepherd gave their team an early 4-1 lead. Kailey Kinsella and Bridget Soukup

each found the net for West during the opening half.

After Kristi Howe and Bernhard scored early in the third, Soukup connected for West’s final goal. Bernhard added two more tallies in the final period to go along with another Kristi Howe score.

West goalie Brenna Bowers stopped 11 shots.

“We typically play pretty good defense and our passes and offensive movement has been improving,” West coach Keith Huizinga said. “But we have a habit of throwing the ball at the goalie. We get a lot of shots but the opportune time has passed by the time that we shoot. But we’re having fun and are getting better and that’s what matters.”

GIRLS SOCCER: PLAINFIELD NORTH 4, MINOOKA 0

Plainfield North dominates 1st half, blanks Minooka

By MARK JOHNSON mjohnson@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Plainfield North was already winning at the 5:09 mark of the first half at Minooka on Thursday, but that juncture could still be called a turning point.

It was then that North midfielder Heather Handiwork raced toward the net from the right on a breakaway and beating Minooka keeper Lily Benig to the left. Tigers forward Sara Stevens followed with a breakaway goal of her own 34 seconds later, beating three Minooka defenders to get in close and softly putting the ball into the lower right corner of the net.

North added one sec ond-half goal to defeat Minooka 4-0 in Southwest Prairie Conference girls soccer. The match was North’s first in conference play this season as it guns for a sixth consecutive league championship.

“I think we just kind of lost the intensity because we were up and it was cold and everything,” Stevens said of the stretch before the two goals. “But I think we definitely need to work on keep-

Stevens provided the assist, and very nearly the goal, when the Tigers broke through at the 31:16 mark of the first half. Benig came way out of her net to play a 50-50 ball to which Stevens beat her.

Stevens quickly grounded the

ball toward the open net; it likely was headed in anyway, but teammate Shayna Dheel got to it and hammered it in from close range to erase any doubt.

North had two shots on goal between then and the Handiwork goal, but the Indians largely kept it from getting quality scoring chances.

“We scored that first goal, and we kind of just seemed content with that, so getting those two goals back-to-back right before halftime just changed the game completely,” North coach Jane Crowe said.

Tate Barney added the fourth Tigers goal midway through the second half.

It was the second straight year North defeated Minooka by a 4-0 margin. In 2013, only Oswego, which lost to the Tigers 2-1, played them closer in the SPC. “We look at all of our conference games [as important] because it seems like every year, it’s so balanced,” Crowe said. “A lot of the games between Minooka and the other Plainfield schools are so close, so we never know who’s gonna be able to come out and give us a challenge. We say we have to look at every game as, ‘Who knows? This could be the team that may be able to knock us off.’ ” Minooka was limited to five shots on goal, four of which came from sophomore midfielder Margaret Ward.

“You gotta have way more opportunities, with restarts, and we didn’t play the ball wide enough to spread them out at all,” Minooka coach Chris Brolley said. “We didn’t even test their keeper more than once on a long ball today.

So that’s a big thing for us. We didn’t get any numbers up, and when you’re 1-on-4, it’s hard to create anything in the offensive zone.”

NEW LENOX – Although Lincoln-Way Central’s girls water polo team has a different look to it than it did last year when it placed second at state, the squad is coming along.

With several veterans back who not only are playing in their fourth seasons, but also have two state trips under their belts, Knights coach Karen Desruisseaux hopes that she has the makings of another successful squad.

While the Knights are still trying to find their identity, they looked pretty good in a 9-3 SouthWest Suburban Con-

ference home victory over Lincoln-Way West on Thursday.

“We lost a lot of goals from the kids who graduated,” said Desruisseaux, whose biggest loss was Danijela Jackovich’s 179 goals from their memorable 30-6 campaign. “But we have a really good group of girls who have been to state twice in their careers, so they’re really ready to go.

“We just have to figure out how to fill the scoring void and the defensive void. All of our players are stepping up to fill those spots so we’re more well-rounded. And our goalie, Sabrina Miglorini, has been on fire this year and has been working really hard.”

JT Night of Champions to honor Central’s ’66 team The Joliet Township Athletic Boosters’ annual Night of Champions is a stroll down memory lane.

Every year, the event – cochaired by Chris Olson, the District 204 director of activities and athletics, and Glen Marcum, the booster club president – honors teams, athletes and coaches from JT’s storied history.

If you are old enough to remember the 1966 Joliet Central basketball team, you learned to appreciate a group with little size and an overdose of heart.

Those Steelmen, coached

by Ed Woods, reached the state quarterfinals in what then was a one-class system.

They beat mighty Pekin, 63-50, in the Peoria Supersectional at Robertson Field House on the Bradley University campus before falling to all-stater Joe Wiley and Belleville, 74-72, in one of the most exciting quarterfinals of that or any other year.

The ’66 Steelmen will be

VIEWS Dick Goss honored at the 10th annual Night of Champions on April 17 at IBEW 176 Hall, 1100 NE Frontage Road. Social hour and cocktails begins at 5:30 p.m., dinner at 7 p.m. and the awards, featuring the video presentation that has become so popular, at 8 p.m.

Other honorees will be Joliet Central athletes Scott and Mark Trizzino, who made their names on the wrestling mats, and Joliet Township and Central distance running coach Doug Cherry. Athletic directors also will be cited, as Steve Locke will be the Steelman of the Year and Steve Millsaps the Tiger of the Year.

New this year is the award for Rookies of the Year.

Former Central volleyball teammates Kim Vertin (Lewis) and Breanna Shaw (St.

Francis) will receive those honors.

A special attraction this year is an appearance by Elliott From, the mastermind of Art Beat Live. He creates art to music.

“He does Blackhawks and Bears emblems, and he will do Tigers and Steelmen paintings that we will auction, put the name under and hang in the schools,” Marcum said.

“Chris Olson locked him in.

He will be a great attraction.”

Back to the ’66 Central basketball team. Al Crusoe and Marv Evans were the guards, Bill Arrington and John Tolle the forwards and Bill Alexander the center. Reseves included Warren Wallace, Jim Brenczewski, Reuben Arthur and Rick Goepper.

“I understand most of that team will be here,” Marcum said. “Al Crusoe is coming in from Arizona and John Tolle is coming from Virginia.

“Dave Parker and Mr. [Ken] Parker started talking to me about that team after

the first Night of Champions,” Marcum said. “We’ve been thinking about honoring them for a while now.”

The man who hired me for my first job in newspaper work, late former Herald-News sports editor Bob Drazkowski, always considered the ’66 Steelmen one of his favorite teams to cover.

Draz knew a good thing when he saw it.

The same can be said for “The Voice of Joliet,” the late Don Ladas of WJOL Radio, who loved broadcasting games of the team with the special guard tandem of Crusoe and Evans and nobody taller than 6-foot-3.

Crusoe, who went on to play at Bradley, made the all-tournament team at state after he scored 27 points against Belleville. Evans established a long-lived scoring record at Joliet Junior College with 50 points in one game before he moved on to play at Valparaiso.

It has been a difficult year

for the JT family, which in addition to Ladas lost Locke’s young daughter Addison, Ken Parker, Olson’s dad Terry and most recently Jim Brumund.

The Night of Champions will be an opportunity to reinforce camaraderie within the JT ranks.

Tickets are $40 and may be obtained by calling Marcum at 815-741-1229 or downloading the order form off the Internet and mailing it to Olson at the JT Administrative Center, 300 Caterpillar Drive, Joliet, IL 60436.

Old Timers meeting The Old Timers Baseball Association of Will County will hold its quarterly meeting at 7 p.m. Monday at the Joliet Moose on Springfield Avenue.

In addition to other business, Dale Roberts, a baseball memorabilia collector, will have a few of his treasures there for viewing, and he will discuss his collection.

Dues are $10 for a year.

New members are welcome.

Cubs hang on for 1st win of season

By GORDON WITTENMYER gwittenmyer@suntimes.com PITTSBURGH – With a runner at first and nobody out in the bottom of the ninth inning of another one-run game, the bunt was popped straight up in front of the plate, and the Cubs’ pitcher and catcher handled it like you might expect if you’ve been watching this team for the past three or four years.

Pedro Strop and John Baker crashed into each other, Baker’s mask flying one direction, Baker going another – straight down.

For a second or two, Baker lay flat on his back, spread eagle.

What else could go wrong this first week of the season in

Pittsburgh?

And then Baker grinned.

“It wasn’t that bad,” he said.

And then Strop showed the ump the ball he’d caught.

And then the Cubs held on for a 3-2 victory, their first win after a pair of extra-inning, walk-off losses to open the season – and just in time for today’s home opener against Ryne Sandberg’s Philadelphia Phillies.

“I didn’t think it was going to be such a relief,” first-year manager Rick Renteria said, “but it’s quite a relief.”

Now the North Side gets its first up-close look at its 2014 Cubs.

But exactly who are these guys that come home to Wrigley Field for their opening homestand?

They don’t even seem to know, if you consider Junior Lake spent Thursday’s first inning in a different uniform top than everybody else on the team.

Are they hitters like Emilio Bonifacio who seems to reach base at will so far as a Cub – 11 for 16 with a walk, four stolen bases and three of the four runs scored that haven’t been produced with solo home runs?

Or are they a lineup that can’t get a run in whenever it gets into scoring position – 1 for 27 as a team with men in scoring position until a 2-for-3 uptick Thursday?

“We’re seeing a lot of guys having actually some pretty good at-bats,” Renteria said.

“We’re on the right track.”

TWINS 10, WHITE SOX 9

White Sox blow ninth-inning lead to Twins

By BRIAN SANDALOW The Associated Press CHICAGO – Oswaldo Arcia’s first hit of the season helped give the Minnesota Twins their first win.

Chris Colabello had a career-high six RBIs and doubled twice, Arcia hit a go-ahead triple in the ninth inning and the Twins avoided a season-opening sweep with a 10-9 comeback win Thursday over the White Sox. Manager Ron Gardenhire got his 999th career victory, and Glen Perkins picked up his first save after squander-

ing the lead Wednesday.

“Obviously, every day we’re just going out and trying to compete,” Arcia said through a translator. “We competed the whole series and looking forward to carrying this one over.”

On Thursday, it was the White Sox who couldn’t finish.

Trailing 9-8 heading into the ninth after Marcus Semien homered in the bottom of the eighth off Caleb Thielbar (1-0), the Twins scored twice off White Sox closer Matt Lindstrom (01), who blew his first save

chance in two opportunities.

Trevor Plouffe singled with two outs in the ninth to tie the game before Arcia’s triple off the wall in center gave Minnesota a 10-9 lead.

Arcia had been 0 for 13, but his empty start ended at the best time for Minnesota.

Colabello’s three-run double in the third gave Minnesota a 3-1 edge, and his fifth-inning double off Jose Quintana gave the Twins a 5-1 lead. He also had an RBI groundout in the seventh to complete a career game when the raw conditions (37 degrees at game time) were challenging.

BLACKHAWKS 3, WILD 2 (SO)

Blackhawks stop 3-game slide with win over Wild

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Marian Hossa scored the lone goal in the shootout, and the banged-up Blackhawks stopped a threegame slide with a 3-2 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night.

Hawks goaltender Co-

rey Crawford made 25 saves through overtime, and then stopped all three Minnesota attempts in the shootout.

Hossa connected on the Hawks’ second attempt in the tiebreaker by powering a shot through Ilya Bryzgalov.

It was the Hawks’ first game since coach Joel Quenneville said captain Jona-

than Toews would miss the rest of the regular season due to an upper-body injury. The Hawks also were without Patrick Kane.

Chicago did get Bryan Bickell back from an injury, and he scored a tiebreaking goal in the third period. Ben Smith also scored for the Hawks.

PARANORMAL ACTIVITY Stars of ‘Ghost Hunters’ to appear at Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

If you go

dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – During their live, casual, two-hour, no intermission show scheduled for April 11 at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, Jason Hawes and Steve Gonsalves of the Syfy reality show “Ghost Hunters” will play behind-the-scenes clips, examine paranormal evidence from the show and banter back and forth.

Expect, Gonsalves said, to laugh. A lot.

“People don’t really expect it,” Gonsalves said. “Jason comes off on the show as a pretty gruff guy; I’m more the practical joker. But when he gets onstage with me, we have a bit of a comedy routine.”

Already leading his own ghost hunting team by age 20, Gonsalves’ fascination with ghosts began in early childhood, when he peeked at a horror movie he wasn’t supposed to watch. At 10, Gonsalves was scouring his local library for books on ghost sightings.

He became a big fan of paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren and attended their seminars.

“I spent more time in graveyards than in playgrounds,” Gonsalves said.

Once Gonsalves received his driver’s license, he could bring the following with him: a camcorder, a Polaroid camera and a lawn chair. Once, “something” grabbed Gonsalves’ ankle and tripped him.

“I was on flat ground,” Gonsalves said. “I can’t say for sure that it was a paranormal experience, but it was the first time something weird happened and I could not explain it.”

In fact, most reputable ghost hunters do try to explain away the unusual behavior, Gonsalves said. Suspicious activity might be wind whistling through a back door or a faulty electrical box.

n What: “Ghosthunters – Live!” n When: 8 p.m. April 11 n Where: Rialto Square Theatre,

102 N. Chicago St., Joliet n Tickets: $79 (includes Meet & Greet; Purchase only through the Rialto box office), $56, $29, 21 n Information: Buy tickets at the Rialto box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, online at www. rialtosquare.com or Ticketmaster. com, or charge at 800-982-2787 or 815-726-6600.

On April 11, Steve Gonsalves (left) and Jason Hawes of the Syfy reality show “Ghost Hunters” will appear at the Rialto Square Theatre.

“Some people claim that ghosts have grabbed, scratched or smacked them but we don’t really know the intention behind it. They could be just trying to get their attention.”

Even when a ghost is present, whether it’s residual haunting or an intelligent interaction, Gonsalves feels safe.

“Some people claim that ghosts have grabbed, scratched or smacked them but we don’t really know the intention behind it,” Gonsalves said.

“They could be just trying to get their attention.”

Sometimes, he said, people do get hurt during investigations but not because of ghosts.

They may become frightened and have a heart attack or fall down stairs. Gonsalves agreed hanging around cemeteries is potentially hazardous – but not because of the possibility of seeing ghosts.

“It’s incredibly dangerous because of the living, not the dead,” Gonsalves said. “The only negative I came across was unsavory characters making their way in and out. That happened a couple of times

when I was 16 and in a graveyard at 12 o’clock at night.”

Much has changed for paranormal investigations since “Ghost Hunters” debuted a decade ago, he said. Accessibility to areas with possible paranormal activity has increased; equipment is both sophisticated and less expensive – phone apps are even available – and people, overall, are more open-minded, Gonsalves said.

“People don’t make fun of us or look at us like we’re crazy anymore,” Gonsalves said.

For Gonsalves, the best part of working as a “Ghost Hunter” is touching viewers’ lives in significant ways, such as hearing how entire families come together to watch the show or the encounter he had with a mother and her young son while he was walking

across a beach.

The mother recognized Gonsalves with a, “Oh, my gosh! It’s that guy from ‘Ghost Hunters! We love your show so much!’” The boy merely “cracked a little bit of a smile” as he unenthusiastically shook Gonsalves’ hand.

“The mother whispered in my ear, ‘His father just passed away a month ago. This is the first time I’ve seen him smile,’ ” Gonsalves said. “That meant a lot.”

Toward the end of the live shows, Gonsalves moves about the audience answering questions: “What’s the biggest spider you’ve ever seen?”

“Who’s most likely to get fired

by Jason?” “How to explain the paranormal world to children?”

Generally, when responding to children, Gonsalves “candy coats” his answers.

He doesn’t wish to scare them, Gonsalves said.

“I remember recently a 7-year-old asked me, ‘If there’s a demonic entity in your house, what might be the first signs and what steps do you take to alleviate it?’ ” Gonsalves said. “I thought, ‘Wow, how does that question come out of a 7-year-old?’ ” And if you still have questions, Gonsalves said contact him through Twitter: @SteveGonsalves1.

QUICKCRITIC REVIEWS OF NEW MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“Captain America: The Winter Soldier” STARRING: Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson PLOT: Steve Rogers struggles to embrace his role in the modern world and battles a new threat from old history: the Soviet agent known as the Winter Soldier.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence, gunplay and action throughout TIME: 2 hours, 16 minutes VERDICT: For the latest Marvel release, “Captain America: The Winter Soldier,” most fan boys might prefer a Consumer Reports-style product review. New character introductions: Smooth. Action sequences: Excellent if sometimes lacking finesse. Viewer satisfaction: Likely high. Box-office prospects: Bankable. Teasers for future Marvel installments: Yes, two. With slick design and plushy interiors, “The Winter Soldier” is an excellent product. But is it a good movie? Are the two indistinguishable at this point? The earlier “Captain America: First Avenger” was a mostly clever period film, set in the 40s and awash with a charming WWII thriller nostalgia. “Winter Soldier” brings Steve Rogers – the weakling recruit made a brawny Greatest Generation icon, played by Chris Evans – up to present day for a Washington, D.C., conspiracy thriller. Fittingly, Marvel has attracted the default hero of such films, Robert Redford. He’s a major get for the franchise, especially since (unlike in last year’s “All is Lost”) he’s actually talking now. While Rogers runs laps around the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool and jots notes on the pop culture he missed while frozen for 70 years, there’s trouble brewing at S.H.I.E.L.D. Its head, Nick Fury (Samuel Jackson), believes something is amiss with the agency’s latest project: a trio of “helicarriers” that can kill evildoers from the sky even before the evil is done. Captain America, a stand-in for a more innocent, noble America, wonders if the helicarriers are like “holding a gun to everyone on Earth and calling it protection.” But that’s about the extent of such talk in “Winter Soldier”: a political thriller without the politics.

(Some small spoilers follow.) Fury, having doubted the project, finds himself a hunted man. Captain America is left to investigate with only a few trustworthy friends: Scarlett Johansson’s scarlet-haired former KGB agent Natasha Romanoff, a.k.a. the Black Widow (an “Avengers” toss-in, added like a dash of paprika) and Anthony

Mackie’s veteran Sam Wilson (a welcome newbie). The best thing “Winter Soldier” has going for it is its cast, a uniformly likable bunch, particularly the winning Mackie, whose character dons mechanical wings to become the Falcon. And then there’s Redford, who plays Alexander Pierce, a S.H.I.E.L.D. director. Redford, naturally, classes up the joint. Directing brothers Anthony Russo and Joe Russo (“You, Me and Dupree”) and screenwriters Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (“Thor: The Dark World”) put perhaps a bit more into character development than these films often do. The brightly lit D.C. environs, too, give the film something of a sense of the real world.

Yet when Marvin Gaye’s “Trouble Man” plays – pop-culture homework for Rogers – it’s like a window into another, wholly separate universe.

One with soul. It’s getting difficult to tell the Marvel movies apart. The fight scenes on a departing aircraft blur together. The reversals of friend and foe refract like an infinity mirror. So while “The Winter Soldier” succeeds as finely engineered merchandise built to be crowd-pleasing entertainment, for moviegoers and shareholder alike, it has a shelf life that won’t last much past its running time.

“Bad Words” STARRING: Jason Bateman, Kathryn Hahn, Allison Janney

PLOT: A spelling bee loser sets out to exact revenge by inding a loophole and attempting to win as an adult.

RATED: R for crude and sexual content, language and brief nudity TIME: 1 hour, 29 minutes VERDICT: If you’ve seen the poster for “Bad Words,” starring and directed by Jason Bateman, you’ll see a sneer on Bateman’s face. It’s truly nasty. More than most movie posters, this image sets a perfect tone for the ilm, much of which really is that nasty. And funny. Very, very funny. But more on that in a minute. It’s nothing new to see a ilm about a misanthrope. What does feel different in “Bad Words,” however, is the way Bateman’s character treats kids. Nobody dies or gets physically hurt. But feelings?

Kids’ feelings? They don’t just get hurt, they get smashed to smithereens, remorselessly and often profanely. Bateman’s directorial debut is set in the singular world of the American spelling bee, where ruthlessly brainy kids compete

for stardom, pushed by ruthlessly competitive parents. Trilby is 40 years old, but has found a loophole enabling him to compete: The rules say you can’t have passed the eighth grade. And he hasn’t. Ever.

At the regional bee, Trilby shows what he’s capable of. A chubby kid next to him asks what he’s doing onstage. “Your chair called me for help,” Trilby replies. But nothing compares with the emotional damage he inlicts on a shy young girl – we won’t discuss it here, but let’s just say we remain permanently scarred – with the goal of getting her to leave the competition abruptly. Turns out Trilby may be a misanthrope, but he has a genius IQ. And so he makes the inals of the Golden Quill, which, wouldn’t ya know it, are being televised for the irst time. This causes great worry for Dr. Deagan, who runs the bee with an iron ist (Allison Janney, who makes you laugh even before she opens her mouth) and the chief overseeing it all, Dr. Bowman (the august Philip Baker Hall). Trilby’s accompanied by a reporter, Jenny Widgeon (Kathryn Hahn, reliably kooky), whose editors are funding his cross-country trip on the mere chance he’ll reveal his inner purpose (let’s just note here these editors are unrealistically generous). The two have a relationship consisting of awkward sexual trysts and many insults, most from Trilby. But the central dynamic is really between Trilby and a precociously adorable 10-year-old boy, Chaitanya Chopra (Rohan Chand), who seeks Trilby’s friendship even though the latter peppers him, too, with insults – calling him “Slumdog” and telling him to shut his “curry-hole” in reference to his ethnic heritage. So what’s the point of it all? Well, it’s an American movie that seeks to be mainstream, and it stars the likable Bateman, so of course you know there’s an underlying reason for what Trilby’s doing, one that will emerge in due course. But to the ilm’s credit, this twist doesn’t announce itself too soon, and so there’s tension here – not to mention hilarity. There are deinitely moments that go too far.

But if you know what you’re getting into – an R-rated comedy about a (mostly) nasty guy – it’s hard to imagine you won’t ind yourself helplessly “cachinnating” at some points. “Cachinnating?” Laughing hard. Trilby would know how to spell it.

“Divergent” STARRING: Shailene Woodley, Theo James, Kate Winslet

PLOT: In a world divided by factions based on virtues, Tris learns she’s Divergent and won’t it in. When she discovers a plot to destroy Divergents, Tris and the mysterious Four must ind out what makes Divergents dangerous before it’s too late.

RATED: PG-13 for intense violence and action, thematic elements and some sensuality TIME: 2 hours, 23 minutes VERDICT: If you have a kid of a certain age – especially a girl, preteen or thereabouts – then you know the young-adult entertainment message of choice these days: You’re you, and nobody else. Don’t let them deine you. Don’t let them put you into one of their neat little slots. You’re unique. And you’re gonna show the world. You go, girl! So it’s no surprise that this is the message of “Divergent,” the latest young adult blockbuster-in-waiting. It’s also no surprise the emerging young star Shailene Woodley delivers a crucial dose of humility, sensitivity and intelligence in this showcase role. And it’s no surprise, either, she generates nice chemistry with her rather absurdly good-looking co-star, Theo James. What is surprising is with all these promising elements, “Divergent,” the irst of three installments based on irst-time author Veronica Roth’s trilogy, ultimately feels so lackluster. For a ilm predicated on the principle that being different –

or “divergent” – is what makes you special, “Divergent” just doesn’t diverge enough from the pack. Like “The Hunger Games,” the franchise to which it will unavoidably be compared, “Divergent” has a readymade audience of fans just waiting to ill those seats – more than 11 million books have been sold, after all. Those book fans will have a crucial head start. “Divergent” takes a good deal of time explaining plot mechanics, but if you already know what’s happening, you can spend more time admiring, say, those cheekbones on James – or his day-old, dystopian stubble. In a nutshell, “Divergent,” directed

by Neil Burger, takes place in a futuristic Chicago, a bleak version indeed of the Windy City. Civilization is divided into ive factions, based on human virtues: Dauntless, Abnegation, Erudite, Amity, and Candor. Beatrice Prior (Woodley) is born into Abnegation. But at age 16, a citizen can choose their own faction, at the Choosing Ceremony.

Right before, they take an aptitude test that tells them which faction they it best. Beatrice’s results are downright scary: She has not one virtue, but all of them. She is “divergent” – which makes her dangerous. At 143 minutes, the movie feels overly long, and by the end, you may want to hop onto one of those trains yourself and hope it arrives somewhere a lot less grim.

But two sequels await. So there’s always hope.

30 CROSSWORD

Two players have possible roads

CELEBRITY CIPHER

On some deals, a defender will have a dilemma, not sure how to defeat the contract. He must rely on his partner.

Against five diamonds, West leads the spade two. How should declarer play? Suppose he wins with his ace, plays a heart to dummy’s 10, and runs the diamond nine to West’s king. How should West defend?

After two passes, East opened a light third-in-hand one spade.

South overcalled two diamonds.

West made a pre-emptive jump to three spades, showing four-card support and less than game-invitational values. (With a stronger hand, he would have cue-bid three diamonds.) North doubled to indicate a maximum pass, and South jumped to five diamonds.

This is a difficult deal. It is tempting for declarer to assume that East holds the diamond king. But after the diamond finesse fails, West wonders whether his side needs to take one diamond, one spade (when East has only five spades) and one club, or one diamond and two clubs (when East has six spades). He does not know, but East should. At trick four, West should shift to his club queen, and South plays low from the board. Now the spotlight is on East. From the spade-two lead, he knows that West has only four spades. So East should overtake with his club ace and cash the spade king.

What did declarer do wrong?

It is better to cash his diamond ace at trick two. If the king drops, fine. But when it does not, South turns to hearts, getting home if the defender with the diamond king has at least three hearts. Declarer’s club loser evaporates on dummy’s fourth heart.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips lunch, keeping order and making sure the kids are not too loud.

Two of their moms work here.

The kids are bullies and have no respect for adults whatsoever.

When I try to discipline them or give them a time out, they go to their moms and accuse me of targeting them because they are black. Then the moms come to me and complain and ask me why I’m “targeting” them.

This is causing me a lot of stress. I can’t allow them to bully other kids, but at the same time I don’t want trouble with the parents. How can I approach this situation without it getting more complicated? – Schoolyard Mom In Florida Dear Schoolyard Mom: Because these women are preventing you from effectively supervising the children, which is your job, you should address this problem with

the principal of the school.

Dear Abby: My mother-in-law watches my four kids so I can work outside the home. On the off chance that she can’t, she tells me my brother-in-law will watch them. While I appreciate her gesture of trying to “cover her shift,” my brother-in-law is irresponsible, suffers from severe depression and smokes pot.

I don’t want to be rude, but I don’t like her leaving my kids with him. Is there an OK way to tell her that, or do I need to stop being “overprotective?” – Mommy Of Four Dear Mommy: It would not be rude to tell your mother-in-law that while you appreciate her watching your children, if for any reason she cannot do it, you would prefer to make your own arrangements for who will supervise them. If she asks you why, then be frank with her about your concerns – all of which are valid.

Pills can provide effective treatment for Type 2 diabetes Dear Doctor K: I have Type 2 diabetes and my doctor wants to prescribe medication. Fortunately, he says I don’t need shots, just pills. What are the different pills for Type 2 diabetes?

Dear Reader: No one likes needles, but the needles used to give yourself insulin are very small, and the shots are very easy to administer. But for Type 2 diabetes, it is true that pills are often all that are needed.

In Type 2 diabetes, like the less common Type 1, blood glucose (sugar) levels are too high. Type 2 diabetes occurs when cells don’t respond appropriately to insulin; this is called “insulin resistance.”

Every cell in your body needs energy, and the glucose in your blood is an important source of energy. But to provide energy to a cell, glucose has to be able to get inside it.

Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas, an organ inside your abdomen. Insulin circulates in the blood and ushers glucose into your cells. The insulin resistance seen in Type 2 diabetes makes it hard for glucose to get inside cells. As a result, glucose builds up in the blood.

When your body sees blood sugar levels rising, it makes unusually high levels of insulin.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff This helps keep blood sugar levels down for a while, but ultimately the pancreas gets pooped. It just can’t make enough insulin.

That’s when blood sugar levels rise to the point where diabetes is diagnosed.

Today’s diabetes drugs address insulin resistance, insulin production, or both. Doctors have many drugs to choose from, and they often prescribe them in combination. I’ll discuss the more frequently prescribed drugs. (And I’ve put a table of these drugs on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Metformin (Glucophage) lowers blood sugar levels mainly by reducing insulin resistance.

It doesn’t stimulate the body to make more insulin. Unlike some other diabetes drugs, metformin does not cause weight gain, and it doesn’t usually cause blood sugar levels to drop dangerously low. Metformin can cause nausea, flatulence or diarrhea.

Sulfonylureas stimulate the pancreas to make more insulin.

About half of people who initially benefit from these drugs find that

they become less effective over time. Possible side effects include dangerously low blood sugar.

This risk is elevated if you drink alcohol or miss a meal.

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs or glitazones) reduce insulin resistance. They work most effectively in combination with other medications. Glitazones have been linked to several serious health problems and their use is now restricted.

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors slow the body’s digestion and absorption of carbohydrates. This helps limit surges in blood glucose that occur after meals. These drugs often cause flatulence and diarrhea.

Glinides stimulate the pancreas to secrete insulin. They act rapidly and have a shorter duration than other drugs. As a result, they are less likely to cause dangerously low blood sugar.

It’s really not a big deal to take insulin. But we’re fortunate that insulin is often unnecessary because there are many effective pills for Type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and go to parties where alcohol is served. I always say, “No, thank you; I don’t drink,” when offered an alcoholic beverage. My girlfriend told me that next time I should ask for a “cooler.” She said that they are healthy for you and that the alcohol content is so small that it is almost insignificant. Is this true? I’m getting tired of drinking ginger ale. – Ramona, Phoenix, Ariz.

Dear Ramona: It appears that the producers of wine coolers want to portray just such an image. That’s why wine coolers are packaged this way – to appeal to people who ordinarily do not drink alcohol.

Coolers are not low in alcohol. They average 6 percent alcohol by volume whereas beer averages 4 percent.

According to Chicago’s Parkside Medical Services, teens, especially girls, are drawn to coolers because they like the name, which suggests a light refreshing drink. This is a tremendous hazard because you can go from a lemonade to a lemon cooler in one easy step. This way, one doesn’t have to acquire a taste for alcohol.

A survey revealed that 40 percent of sixth-graders and 80 percent of all 11th- and 12th-graders have tried wine coolers at least one time. About five million American and 500,000 Canadian teens already have problems stemming from alcohol, and many started this way.

Do yourself a big favor and stick to drinking ginger ale and pure fruit juices (if available) at parties, and continue to say, “No, thank you; I don’t drink, and that includes wine coolers.”

Dr. Wallace: You told Madison in Miami,

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace that for her to be the best possible babysitter she should take a Red Cross lifesaving course and learn the Heimlich maneuver for choking victims. I disagree with your advice. I’m 13 and a very good babysitter, but I haven’t taken the Red Cross course and I don’t know the Heimlich maneuver.

A good babysitter would cut up food into small pieces so a child wouldn’t choke. I’m good because I don’t allow the children I babysit for to get into life-threatening situations. I watch the children at all times to make sure nothing bad happens to them.

Learning lifesaving techniques is for sitters who don’t know how to be good babysitters. I do!

– Sitter, Toledo, Ohio.

Dear Sitter: You sound like a conscientious and responsible babysitter, but you’ll be an even better one after you take the Red Cross lifesaving course and learn the Heimlich maneuver. Accidents happen when you least expect them, and sometimes to the most careful people. What would you do, for instance, if one of the children you were watching started chocking on something you’d cut into small pieces?

Furthermore, these skills could come in handy elsewhere in your life. When you pass the Red Cross course and learn the Heimlich, you will be prepared to help anyone at any time of need, and anywhere you go.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend and I have been together for two years.

We recently spent a romantic night at a hotel, complete with dinner, drinks – the whole shebang – that he organized.

I know he was a little stressed about money because he mentioned it. He asked if I could shell out some money, which I did, and when the bill came, he asked me if I could shell out some more.

I was a little upset because I wasn’t planning on spending that much. He says he is going to pay me back some of it, and now I just feel bad. I told him I didn’t enjoy being put in that situation and things got awkward quickly.

Now I am the one apologizing, and I feel like I ruined our night.

Am I being a brat? – New York Reader Dear N.Y. Reader: I don’t think so. If your boyfriend couldn’t afford to pay for the romantic evening, he should have discussed it with you beforehand so you wouldn’t be put on the spot.

‘The Missing Picture’: A view of history that is as devastatingly personal as it is profound

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post Part memoir and part documentary, “The Missing Picture” engages with the past, not by confronting it, but by backing away. By doing so, it presents a view of history that is as devastatingly personal as it is profound.

In 1975, when the Cambodian-born, French-educated filmmaker Rithy Panh was 13, he and his family were deported from their home in Phnom Penh to labor camps by the Communist Khmer Rouge, who had just taken over the country. “The Missing Picture” is based on his memories of the deprivation and death that followed – in a manner that feels simultaneously detached and uncomfortably intimate.

It’s frankly amazing how much poignancy he is able to wring out of simple models. Unlike traditional stop-motion animation, Panh’s figures don’t move.

They’re set up in miniature tableaus – replete with tiny plants, animals, furniture, buildings and props – that his camera zooms in on or pans over. Each one is a little work of art.

Why use clay, instead of actors or some other style of animation? That’s because dirt is a powerful metaphor for the director. It not only holds the bodies of those who died under the Khmer Rouge – including Panh’s parents – but, in the central symbolism of the film, their spirits as well.

Old black-and-white footage of skulls being excavated is paired with a scene of Panh’s mother and father watching their adult son, as if from the afterlife, on television. It’s a surprisingly effective technique.

Right off the bat, Panh confesses to a certain ambivalence about telling this story. In the film’s first-person narration (voiced, with even further detachment, by French mathematician Randal Douc), Panh writes that he isn’t seeking the past so much as it is seeking him. He also notes that he “would rather be rid of it.”

The film, then, is also part exorcism. While “The Missing Picture” could be called an animated film, it isn’t kid stuff. Passages dealing with people who have been reduced to

TOP: Combining archival footage with new scenes using crudely hand-carved, hand-painted clay figurines, Cambodian-born, French-educated filmmaker Rithy Panh, who – when he was 13 – was deported with his family to labor camps by the Communist Khmer Rouge, shares his story in “The Missing Picture.” BOTTOM: The Academy Award-nominated movie “The Missing Picture” is part memoir and part documentary. eating rats by starvation, or with the Nazi-like medical experimentation practiced on humans by the Khmer Rouge are especially hard to take.

It helps, somewhat, that much of the film has the quality of a dream, even if the subject matter is, at times, nightmarish. Disturbingly graphic archival images are kept to a minimum and mixed with Khmer Rouge propaganda.

That’s also by design. If images haven’t survived that would paint a full picture of what he experienced, Panh will provide them himself, from memory. “A picture can be stolen,” says the narrator, standing in for Panh, “a thought cannot.”

As haunting as it is haunted, “The Missing Picture” leaves viewers’ heads rattling with ghosts.

• “The Missing Picture” received four out of four stars. The film is unrated and contains disturbing images.

It is in French with subtitles and runs 92 minutes.
