Mary Kay Ludemann replaces an absent Peter Hurtado

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Commissioner Mary Kay Ludemann was named the new president of the Plainfield Township Park District Board on Wednesday, while Commissioner Janet Si- Mary Kay losky remained Ludemann in her position as vice president.

The board elections took place at the beginning of the regular meeting Wednesday evening. The vote for both commissioners was 3-1 with Commissioner Peter Steinys casting the dissenting vote both times.

Peter Hurtado, who has been president of the board since last May, was absent and previously told The Herald-News

he would be on a business trip during the meeting.

There were no other nominations for the positions.

“We all kind of knew what we all wanted,” Ludemann said of her, Silosky and Comissioner Larry Newton, adding that she is focused on building back up the communication between the board and the community.

Silosky said she was surprised when she was chosen to continue as vice president.

“I thank the commissioners for wanting me to stay,” Silosky said.

When Silosky took her seat on the board last May, she originally voted along with Hurtado and Steinys to form a majority that led to the hiring of an inexperienced executive director that made heavy, unpopular changes to the park district.

That decision along with other board actions led to residents demanding the three

commissioners’ resignations.

But Silosky started voting with Ludemann and Newton in February after she made statements that implicate Hurtado in selling his own LED lights to the district.

Residents continued to ask for Silosky’s resignation, but Newton on Wednesday asked the community to give Silosky the benefit of the doubt.

Newton said he didn’t desire either position because he already has served as the president in the past.

“With my years of seniority on the board I’m still going to be doing everything I have been to help the district,” Newton said.

After the elections, the board heard a presentation by the Plainfield Sports Facility Group, which is looking to form a public-private partnership with the park district and the village of Plainfield to build a full sports facility.

Will County campaign seeks more members

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Members of the Accessible Will County campaign are looking to expand membership while preparing to meet with city officials on affordable housing needs.

On Wednesday, close to 10 members and leaders of a campaign that kicked off close to a month ago came together at Sacred Heart Church in Joliet to discuss how to recruit more members and propose more affordable housing to the city’s zoning board.

The campaign, which also includes members of the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living, seeks to improve transportation, housing and accessibility in the county. The campaign has about 50 members but more is always needed to speak about these needs.

“We’re looking for stories,” said Sam Knight, community organizer for the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living.

“We’re looking for people we can tie to these issues.”

One goal campaign members have in mind is advocating for affordable housing needs at the city’s zoning board in the fall. Campaigners are trying to gather many people who need affordable housing to speak to city officials while also working with a nonprofit developer to bring such housing to the county.

Knight said a similar housing project for low-income and homeless veterans that was approved by city officials last week could serve as a good example for the campaign.

“That is the same model that we want to follow,” he said.

For some members of the campaign, affordable housing would be difficult for people in the county to obtain without jobs that pay living wages.

John Sheridan, Cornerstone Services Inc., board member, said many people who are unemployed or have a low-paying job want to work but have difficulty finding a well-paying job.

“Blue collar jobs … are gone,” he said. “All of those good paying jobs are gone … they’re replaced by warehouse [workers] making $12 an hour.”

Campaign members wanted to find a way to reach out to more people who could become supporters of the campaign and share the stories of their struggles. Knight introduced them to a conversation guide to help them establish a rapport with other people.

“We need to find a way to have real conversations with people we know this campaign is important to,” he said.

Each member present at Wednesday’s working group meeting made a commitment to engage dozens of people and learn how the campaign could matter to them.

The Accessible WIll County campaign plans to have its next working group meeting on June 18 at the Unity Community Development Corporation on 1 Doris Avenue in Joliet.

The board approved the transfer of property near the DuPage River from Will County to the district. It also awarded the bid for the electric park multi-use path to D Construction Inc. and approved a resolution showing support for Illinois House Bill 5593, which would immediately expand the board from five to seven commissioners.

Commissioners also showered praise on Interim Executive Director Richard Grodsky for shaping up the park district after a tumultuous year.

Ludemann read Grodsky’s resume and called him an “aggressive decision maker.”

Grodsky felt the commissioners have been good to work with and the board is moving forward.

“At this point, the board is absolutely ready to move forward,” Grodsky said. “The green light is on.”

End up saving 1920s structure after unexpected flames found on 2nd floor

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The best training often is the real thing, But as firefighters were going through the two-story farmhouse expecting to find only straw burning in metal barrels Wednesday morning, they found flames on the second floor going into the attic.

“We had to stop training how we put out a fire to save the structure ... which we’re eventually going to burn down,” Training Chief Brian Plyer said.

While it would have been more efficient for the crews to do nothing about the vacant building at Caton Farm and Ridge roads, other shifts are expecting to train there Thursday and Friday. There also will be arson and fire investigation classes held before the house is burned to the ground in mid-June.

Lt. Eric Mattson estimated the farmhouse was built in the 1920s based on pages of The Herald-News shellacked under the carpet of the upstairs floor. The property is owned by nearby Plainfield South High School.

The drills being run this week are probably the first images that come to mind with firefighters – like running into a building with a hose and spraying the flames, setting up a ladder to reach the second floor and rescuing a victim (dummy) overcome by smoke.

Plyer said one of the goals is coordinating operations between multiple fire companies that might respond to the same scene or be called in if the fire spreads.

“Some guys don’t see a lot of fires on some companies and some guys ‘float’ between them and get a bunch of them,” Plyer said.

There were 58 structure fires in Joliet last year, a number that doesn’t reflect food burning on a stove or a dryer

There have been 20 so far in 2014.

“When I started 28 years ago we had two a day,” Plyer

said. “With smoke detectors, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, I think [society] has become more safety conscious.”

But Plyer also calls the materials used in modern housing construction “a chemical factory.” While the wood in a 1920s farmhouse is going to

burn, it’s going to move slower and be less toxic than a newer building, he said.

Graduation season is upon us Area high school seniors begin bidding farewell tonight

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Thousands of local high school graduates will don caps and gowns in the next month, ready to say goodbye to their adolescent years and move onto the next chapter of their lives.

The ceremonial traditions at high schools across Will and Grundy counties kicks off Thursday evening with Joliet Catholic Academy’s graduation. Plainfield and Wilmington schools are scheduled to celebrate this weekend, while students at about 20 other area high schools are set to graduate throughout May and early June.

But before students walk across that stage, much goes on behind-the-scenes in effort to make students receive the credit they deserve after surviving four years of high school.

“They’ve certainly earned this moment. Four years in high school is an accomplishment,” said Tom Hernandez, director of community relations for Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202. “There’s a lot more to go in life. But we applaud them for how far they’ve gotten, and we’re looking forward to see where they go.”

Between 400 and 600 students are graduating at each of the Plainfield East, Central, North and South campuses this weekend. That doesn’t negate the fact each student should feel special on graduation day, Hernandez said.

“We ask more today of our adolescents and young adults than ever before. ... There’s more pressure both academically and socially than most generations have known,” he said. “They deserve to be in the spotlight.”

“We ask more today of our adolescents and young adults than ever before.”

Tom Hernandez Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 director of community relations Planning begins months in advance, so school officials, students and family members can be prepared for last-minute adjustments, he said. Everything is planned out down to the very last detail, he said, including the seating arrangements, the list of students’ names in the printed program and the types of awards given out.

Weather also is a factor, Hernandez said. The plan each year is to have each ceremony outside at the schools’ separate football stadiums, he said, but

school officials always have a backup plan: the gymnasium, which brings several hundred students, family members and school officials together under one roof.

Suzanne Kairis, spokeswoman for Joliet Catholic Academy, said the school had planned out an entire week of events, including an awards night, liturgy ceremony and a senior fun night leading up to graduation.

Kairis had a few hopes for graduating Joliet Catholic seniors.

“We would hope they continue to follow their faith and that they be successful in all aspects of life,” Kairis said.

Students with high academic standings or those who showcased other accomplishments throughout their fouryear high school careers will be given special honors, Kairis said.

Officers, detectives and dispatchers recognized at awards ceremony

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Police Department Awards Ceremony on Wednesday offered an opportunity to recognize the staff for what Police Chief Brian Benton said has been a drop in crime this year.

“This improvement in Joliet’s safety is due in large part to the effort our staff shows every day,” Benton said at the ceremony.

Dozens of police officers, emergency dispatchers and clerical employees received certificates and decorations during a luncheon at the Jacob Henry Mansion Victorian Ballroom.

Detective Jeffrey German, who received the Officer of the Year award from the VFW Cantigny Post and Detective Tizoc Landeros, who was named Officer of the Year by

the Exchange Club, were given additional recognition by their colleagues.

German was assigned 180 cases to investigate last year and completed 110 of them with arrests or referrals to other police departments.

Landeros is the officer assigned to monitor and investigate all sex offenders living in the city.

Lifesaving awards were given to Officer Craig Vesper and dispatcher Kristine Wilkerson.

In January 2013, Vesper arrived at the Caton Farm Road overpass of Interstate 55 to find a teenage girl sitting with one leg over the edge of the barrier, Lt. Dennis McWherter said. “[It appeared] she was getting ready to jump,” McWherter said. “Without regard for his own safety, Craig was able to rescue the

subject by pulling her to the ground on Caton Farm Road and protect her from oncoming traffic.”

In March 2013, Wilkerson received a 911 call about someone who wasn’t breathing and gave CPR instructions over the phone.

“During the duration of the incident she remained calm and conducted a ‘textbook’ perfect example of how to instruct someone to perform CPR,” dispatcher Kacey Lauer said.

Transcriber Mary Aguirre was named Civilian Employee of the Month last September for “playing detective” while working an overtime assignment at the front desk.

Support Service Supervisor Liz Cline said Aguirre noticed a man pacing near the front door, but making no effort to come inside.

“Uncertain what the subject wanted but noticing he was distressed, she began buzzing the door to get [him] to enter the building. Once inside, she observed he had a knife in his pocket with blood on it,” Cline said. Aguirre’s actions led to the arrest of a man on attempted murder charges.

Officer Ryan Maurer received a department commendation for his response to a call in November, when a man in a bathtub was attempting to commit suicide.

Aerial photography issue raised again Executive order the third action taken in the past two weeks THE HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Will County Executive Larry Walsh on Wednesday issued an executive order on aerial photography, apparently hoping to end a yearlong debate over how the photographs could be used by the county.

Walsh’s order marks the third time in the past two weeks that the county has taken some kind of action regarding the use of aerial photography. The matter is on the County Board agenda again for its Thursday meeting.

One County Board member has led an effort to restrict the use of aerial photography in prosecuting zoning violations, contending that residents have complained about invasion of privacy.

The County Board Judicial Committee last week appeared to kill a proposed ordinance restricting use of aerial photography. But the matter was revived two days later when the Executive Commit-

tee voted to put it back on the full county board agenda for its Thursday meeting.

Walsh issued a statement saying that his executive order would prohibit the use of aerial photography to initiate zoning enforcement actions. The same restriction was sought by County Board Member Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen, who first raised the issue about a year ago.

The executive order would prohibit a practice that has never been used, Walsh said in a written statement.

“We have serious business to do at Will County and I have come to the conclusion that this issue has become a distraction that takes my staff away from important county business,” Walsh said in a written statement. “This practice has never been utilized to my knowledge, and, with this action, it never will under my administration.”

Walsh also said the use of aerial photography by the county “has been unfairly criticized.”

Duo will weigh global market potential

Curt Paddock Director for Will County’s land use department

export,” Paddock said.

Paddock, who’s certified through the International Council for Economic Development, also works closely with the Will County Center for Economic Development, including matters relating to the Joliet and Elwood intermodals. He will be joined by Jim Song, engineer with the county’s land use department, during the two-week trip overseas.

Will County’s increased role in the global market is inevitable, Paddock said, considering the area is home to three major highways, several railroads, inland waterways and two major intermodal facilities.

“The whole point [of the trip] is to promote our role as not only an inland port for the receiving of goods. We’re promoting us also as a place where we are selling goods and services to the world at large,” Paddock said.

Much of what already goes through the area’s Elwood and Joliet intermodal yards, where cargo is transferred between trucks and trains, is increasingly for global markets, he said. About 90 percent of the grain in the county is now grown for the export market, compared to the 70 percent a couple of decades ago, according to the Will County Farm Bureau. The county shipped 110 million bushels, mostly corn and soybeans, for export markets in 2013.

Paddock said any tangible partnership with China won’t come to fruition for some time, adding it would take time to establish a relationship.

“I would characterize this trip as very preliminary,” he said.

Chinese officials are covering the majority of the trip’s costs, including room and board, while the Will County Executive’s Office is paying up to $1,500 for airfare, Paddock said. Paddock and Song will pay for everything not covered by the Chinese, he said.

Two Will County officials leave for China next week in hopes of building relations with the country as demand there grows for certain U.S. agricultural products.

The purpose of the trip is to make contacts with key players in China, considered the world’s second-biggest economy, said Curt Paddock, Curt director for the Paddock county’s land use department, who leaves May 23 for China.

The upcoming meetings underscore the county’s potential value in the global supply chain, Paddock said, noting that China’s rapidly growing middle class has led to an increased demand for certain agricultural products – such as feed for livestock or higher quality meats.

“One of the principal areas [Will County] emphasizes is our exports [of corn and soybeans]. As the Chinese diet changes, that kind of commodity is becoming more and more important to them. A significant amount of our agriculture in Will County is now going to

MINOOKA VILLAGE WIDE SPRING GARAGE SALES MAY 16 & 17, 2014

Know more Annual salaries for elected officials n $6,500 – County Board member, no increase n $42,500 – County Board chairman, no increase n $76,695 – County clerk and recorder, no increase n $76,695 – County treasurer, no increase n $105,897 – Sheriff, no increase currently held by Republicans.

“We shouldn’t be playing favorites with these offices,” Joyce said. “They’re all very important.”

Joyce’s amended resolution was voted down 11-4. The resolution to freeze the clerk’s salary at $76,695 passed 113, with opposing votes from Joyce, Ann Gill and Frank Halpin. John Roth abstained from the vote.

The resolution to freeze the treasurer’s salary at $76,695

passed 12-3, with opposing votes from Joyce, Gill and Halpin.

The vote on the sheriff’s salary was much closer as several of the board members felt the position is under-compensated.

In previous discussions, Sheriff Kevin Callahan urged the board to consider the pay scale of his department. Comparing the current sheriff salary with that of deputies, there is a small difference in pay.

“The responsibility of the sheriff in this county is tremendous,” board member John Galloway said. “When you’re talking about a county with nuclear plants in the area, a tremendous industrial base, a large county – there’s just a lot of responsibility that falls on this sheriff’s head.”

Other board members cited a chart comparing the salaries of Grundy County’s Sheriff to surrounding counties, which showed Grundy’s sheriff is paid more than sheriffs in counties with double

Grundy’s population.

“Average incomes [among county residents] are dropping as opposed to increasing, so I can’t go forth,” board member Chris Balkema said.

“It’s nothing against the existing sheriff and personnel, which I believe are doing a fantastic job.”

The resolution to increase the sheriff’s salary by 1 percent for the next two years failed 8-7.

The resolution to freeze the sheriff’s salary at $105,897 passed 8-7, with Doug Boresi, Galloway, Gill, Halpin, Joyce, Ken Iverson and John Almer voting against the freeze.

“I feel I’m well-compensated for the job that I do,” Callahan said Wednesday. “But I do feel there should be a separation in pay between me and my deputies.”

The salaries for all of the positions are set for the next four years, or the length of the term, and will apply to the winners of the November general election.

MORRIS – Various members of the Grundy County Board gave kudos this week to the county’s clerk, sheriff and treasurer for doing an “excellent job,” but ultimately the board voted against pay raises for the elected positions.

The board also approved salary freezes for the county board chairman at $42,500 and board members at $6,500.

“They do a good job. I wish everybody could get a raise,” member Vicki Geiger said during Tuesday’s board meeting. “But if you look at other counties, and the populations of those counties, our employees are very well paid.”

The salaries have been the source of much debate among board members during the last few months, with mixed recommendations passing through the personnel and finance committees.

The most recent recommendations from the Finance Committee favored a 1 percent raise for the first two years of the sheriff’s term, and no rais-

es for the clerk and treasurer.

The sheriff’s position currently is salaried at $105,897, and the clerk and treasurer are both at $76,695.

During county discussions two years ago, the board planned to level the salaries of county clerk, treasurer, coroner and circuit clerk at $78,613.

The coroner and circuit clerk were raised to that amount during their last contract negotiations.

At a previous Personnel Committee meeting, the current clerk and treasurer asked the county to follow through with the previous board’s commitment and raise their salaries to $78,613 as well.

On Tuesday, board member Dick Joyce amended the recommendation from the Finance Committee, asking the board to vote on a raise for the clerk and treasurer.

Joyce argued the board should raise the salaries of the clerk and treasurer – positions currently held by Democrats – just as they previously raised the salaries for circuit clerk and coroner, positions

Plainfield meeting on Lab: Rabid bat trains slated for Friday found in Joliet

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The public is invited to a special board meeting scheduled for Friday to talk about ongoing issues with traffic jams caused by stopped trains at railroad crossings in Plainfield.

U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, will attend the informational meeting, which Village President Michael Collins described as an opportunity for Hultgren to learn about the issues and for the board and the public to voice their concerns.

Train delays of more than

10 minutes in January almost doubled every year in Plainfield, according to information submitted to the federal Surface Transportation Board.

The meeting will be at 11 a.m. Friday at Village Hall, 24401 W. Lockport St. in Plainfield.

John Gerl, finance director for the forest preserve, said in a news release that the audit firm opinion “is full scope and unmodified, which is the most desirable and thorough audit opinion obtainable.”

The financial report shows forest preserve revenue growing from $37.6 million in

2012 to $39.1 million in 2013.

Expenses decreased during the same period from $26.9 million to $26.6 million.

The news release states that the forest preserve’s employee retirement program is funded at 94.3 percent “when calculated on a market value basis.”

THE HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – A trapped bat has become Will County’s first laboratory-confirmed case of wildlife rabies this year.

The Will County Health Department reported Wednesday that the bat was trapped in the backyard of a home in the 1200 block of Buell Avenue in Joliet.

The bat tested positive for rabies Monday after it was trapped and shipped to the Illinois Department of Public Health for analysis. The resident reported the bat May 8 after being alerted to it by the family dog, according to a health department news release.

No people are believed to have been exposed to rabies because of the bat. The dog may have come in contact with the bat but was vaccinated for rabies, the health department

said.

A bat also was the first confirmed case of wildlife rabies in Will County in 2013, according to the health department.

That bat was confirmed to be rabid in April. By the end of the year, six bats had tested rabid, which was down from 12 in 2012.

The health department advised that bats are the wildlife most often associated with rabies. But people who come into contact with any wildlife should immediately seek advice from animal control authorities.

“Rabies is a vaccine-preventable viral disease which is almost universally fatal if post-exposure isn’t expedited,” the health department said in its statement. “Humans are most often exposed to the virus through the bite or scratch of an infected warm-blooded animal.” adno=0271843

About two dozen nurses within the surgery unit at Presence Saint Joseph in Joliet voted Tuesday to break away from the state’s nurses union, saying the group does not represent their interests.

The 12-7 vote on Tuesday was the result of a petition filed with the National Labor Relations Board in April, arguing the Illinois Nurses Association no longer represented the nurses’ interests.

The vote means the nurses will no longer be represented by the Illinois Nurses Association, nor will they be required to pay monthly union dues, according to a hospital news release.

Twenty-five of the 27 nurses employed in the unit were eligible to cast a vote in Tuesday’s secret ballot, said Lisa Lagger, spokeswoman for the hospital. Twenty-three votes were cast, but the NLRB ruled that four were invalid.

Chris Martin, spokesman for the INA, said union officials “have reason to believe the employer might have suppressed some of the vote,” adding the INA will be conducting a thorough investigation and is considering legal action.

Lagger said the votes were certified by the NLRB, adding the results should stand.

“We would most sincerely hope that the union would respect the voices of these nurses and allow the results to stand,”

she said.

Leslie Kruzich, a registered nurse with the surgery center, led the decertification efforts.

“After working under a collective bargaining agreement, a group of us really began to question the value of paying dues and having a third party speak for us,” she said in the news release. “As professional registered nurses, we are not only comfortable expressing our ideas and concerns directly with our leader, but confident in her ability to be responsive to us. At the end of the day, my colleagues and I felt we just didn’t need the INA, and we are truly delighted with the outcome of the election.”

The surgery unit nurses have been represented by the INA since 2011 in an agreement separate from the one that affects the nearly 800 nurses working at Presence Saint Joseph’s Medical Center.

Police arrest woman in Two men in car arrested car stolen four years ago on drug charges JOLIET – Police say a 19-yearold woman was caught Tuesday behind the wheel of a car reported stolen four years ago.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said Joliet police were called to assist a Will County Sheriff’s deputy at 1:05 a.m. The deputy had stopped a blue 1990 Plymouth Voyager at Cass Street and Eastern Avenue.

The vehicle had been reported stolen on Feb. 2, 2010, from the 100 block of South Briggs Street, Roechner said.

Chanel N. Mitchell allegedly claimed she’d purchased the vehicle a few days ago and was unaware it was stolen, but offered inconsistent information to officers, Roechner said.

Mitchell was booked into the county jail on charges of auto theft , possession of drug paraphernalia, driving without a license and driving without insurance. According to jail records, Mitchell listed the Best Budget Inn, 4200 W. Jefferson St., as her permanent address.

‘Fire can still surprise you’ Continued from page 3 Which might be a reason why the farmhouse was saved to burn down another day. Capt.

“Fire can still surprise you. That’s why we train,”

Capt. Mark Vershay said.

Veteran firefighter Dave Eichholzer, a 15-year firefighter, agreed.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said tactical officers were on patrol at 9:48 p.m. when they saw a Ford fail to signal at Ingalls Avenue and Plainfield Road.

“When they stopped the vehicle they saw the driver, Bernard D. Marble, 23, hand a bag and a bundle of money to a woman in the backseat,” Roechner said.

Police reportedly found 11 rocks of crack cocaine in the bag and about $1,300 in the bundle.

Marble, of the 7100 block of Caton Farm Road in Plainfield, was arrested on a charge of delivery of drugs.

JOLIET – Two men were arrested Monday after police allegedly found them carrying ecstasy and marijuana.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said tactical officers were on patrol at about 6:40 p.m. in the 500 block of Washington Street when they saw a silver 2005 Dodge Caravan cross the center line and turn right without signaling.

When the Caravan was stopped, police smelled a strong odor of marijuana coming from the vehicle and the driver, Johnny Stephens, 33, admitted having a suspended license, Roechner said.

“Officers saw the passenger was holding a plastic bag in his hand that contained eight grams of marijuana,” Roechner said. Tristin D. Hunter, 26, of the 1200 block of California Avenue, was arrested on a charge of marijuana possession.

“Officers then searched Stephens and found eight ecstasy pills in his shoe,” Roechner said.

Stephens, of the 2100 block of

Luther Avenue in Lockport, was arrested on charges of delivery of drugs and driving with a suspended license and booked into the Will County jail.

After years of being a devoted homemaker, mother, and mother figure to all she then attended Joliet Junior College in pursuit of a Mechanical Engineering degree. However just before she achieved this degree, her career took a very different and more personal path to support Rick in fulfilling his dream of owning their own mechanical contracting business in honor of Peggy's father and Rick's mentor, Augustine Chopp. What began as Peggy's support of Rick's dream, soon became their career together. Rick had a vision and was able to achieve it with the pure and unending support of Peggy.

Together their combined determination allowed the cofounding of Cryer & Olsen Mechanical, Inc. with nephew Keith Olsen, “The Good One.” The company was started from nothing and with their heart, soul, and drive evolved into a successful thriving and respected business for the last 22 years that plans to continue their legacy. Peggy took great pride by assuming Rick's role as President after his passing. Under her direct supervision and guidance Cryer and Olsen continued to excel and prosper to not only fulfill, but exceed their vision.

Peggy thoroughly enjoyed time with family, friends, and coworkers. When she and Rick allowed themselves some time away, they were frequent guests of Harrah's Casino. One of the most memorable attributes Peggy had was her special love for children.

This was evident by her ability to make any and all feel welcome from day to day visits to holidays, birthdays and parties. She went above and beyond for all, her door was always open, and her generosity was unmatched.

The family wishes to give special thanks and admiration to the entire staff of Joliet Oncology and Hematology Association, and express their deepest gratitude for the unending guidance of Dr. Sarode Pundaleeka, whose experience, compassion, and commitment to her care allowed Peggy to enjoy the greatest quality of life possible during her trying battle. Thank you all.

Donations in Peggy's name to the JOHA Foundation at www.jolietoncology.com/foundation would be greatly valued and appreciated, especially considering how Cancer has affected her family,

Judge halts state pension overhaul law until ruling The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – A Sangamon County judge stopped Illinois’ state pension overhaul law from taking effect Wednesday, issuing a stay on the law until the court can rule on its constitutionality.

Two lawyers representing plaintiffs in the case said that Circuit Judge Jon Belz issued the order to stop the pension law that reduces retirees’ benefits and increases their contributions from taking effect this summer.

Parts of the law were to take effect June 1.

The overhaul was designed to close a $100 billion deficit in five state pension systems. It was signed into law last fall.

The House author of the measure, Rep. Elaine Nekritz, noted that none of the savings officials expect to reap from the changes are factored into the state budget for this year.

“I would have been shocked had there not been a stay,” the Northbrook Democrat said, adding that “it should have been stayed and we should wait to see frankly what the Supreme Court tells us.”

Gov. Pat Quinn’s assistant

budget director, Abdon Pallasch, said Wednesday the governor was “confident the courts will uphold this critical law that stabilizes the state’s pension funds while squarely addressing the most pressing fiscal crisis of our time by eliminating the state’s unfunded pension debt.”

Quinn, who considers the pension overhaul one of the biggest hallmarks of his tenure in office, is one of the defendants in the case.

Five lawsuits challenging the law were consolidated in Sangamon County court.

State employees and retirees claim the law is unconstitutional, saying it would improperly reduce pension benefits they were promised.

One group of plaintiffs, represented by the We Are One Illinois Coalition of employee unions, was pleased with the action.

“This is an important first step in our efforts to overturn this unfair, unconstitutional law and to protect retirement security for working and retired Illinois families,” Michael Carrigan, president of the Illinois AFL-CIO, said in a statement issued by the coalition.

Lawmakers advance plan to ease DUI penalties

SPRINGFIELD – Drunken driving offenders stripped of their driver’s licenses could hit the road again if a proposal – supported by a prominent anti-drunken driving organization – keeps making its way through the Illinois Legislature.

A House committee voted 15-0 Wednesday to approve legislation that would allow four-time DUI offenders to obtain a restricted driver’s permit, which limits the time and place a person can drive.

Rita Kreslin, the director of the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists, said the measure improves road safety because many offenders drive illegally without insurance. Kreslin – whose 19-year-old son died in a crash involving a drunken driver – said rehabilitated offenders should get another chance.

“I understand the frustration that some people might think that ‘Wow, you’re giving somebody a privilege when they haven’t earned it.’ In some cases that’s true, and those individuals will not be given a permit,” she said.

The measure moves to the full House for consideration.

Kilgore: Ashamed but should be allowed to teach

SPRINGFIELD – University of Illinois instructor James Kilgore said Wednesday that he isn’t proud of his actions as a convicted felon and member of a 1970s radical group but believes he shouldn’t be barred from teaching.

Illinois Speaker of the House Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, testifies Wednesday during a committee hearing at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield. As they craft their own state budget proposal, lawmakers face a number of options in how to proceed while Democratic leaders are still trying to wrangle the votes for the extension of an income tax hike needed to fund it.

conviction but says he was told this spring that he’ll lose his job teaching global studies and other courses after this semester.

A university committee is now reviewing Kilgore’s situation.

Kilgore told University of Illinois trustees who were meeting Wednesday in Springfield he has spent more than three decades trying to move beyond his membership in the Symbionese Liberation Army.

“As a young man I committed acts of which I stand ashamed, acts which were illegal [and] destructive,” Kilgore, who wore a dark suit jacket and dark dress shirt, said during the public comments period of the meeting.

“Who better to tell someone how to avoid a destructive path than someone who has walked that path?” he added later.

Madigan introduces plan to reform EDGE program

SPRINGFIELD – A plan to expand tax incentives is advancing in the Illinois Legislature.

A House committee voted 8-2 Wednesday to approve House Speaker Michael Madigan’s plan to expand the EDGE tax credit program to more companies that create at least five new jobs in high-poverty areas.

The program provides a credit against corporate income taxes, provided companies make capital investments that create jobs. They also have to attest another state is trying to lure the business away. But many companies can’t use the credit because they don’t pay enough corporate income tax.

The measure now heads to the

full House.

Chicago airports returning to normal after halt

CHICAGO – Operations at Chicago’s two airports are returning to normal after an electrical problem at a regional radar facility forced a shutdown of all incoming and outgoing flights.

Tuesday’s three-hour halt resulted in more than 1,120 cancellations at O’Hare International and Midway International airports.

By Wednesday morning, about 100 flights to and from O’Hare were scrapped and a few dozen more were delayed. That’s according to the aviation tracking website FlightAware.com. There were only minor disruptions at Midway.

The ground stop was triggered by a bathroom exhaust fan in a ceiling that overheated and melted insulation on some wires.

Smoke was pushed through the radar facility’s ventilation system and into the control room.

NATION BRIEFS Multiple fires burning in San Diego County SAN DIEGO – Thousands of people fled their homes ahead of an aggressive wildfire that destroyed several houses in the city of Carlsbad as a heat wave gripped Southern California, sparking blazes in several spots in the region.

Mandatory evacuations were in progress, and more than 11,000 notices were sent to homes and businesses, city officials said.

The blaze was one of several wildfires that firefighters in San Diego County were battling amid hot, dry and windy conditions.

Two homes could be seen burning in TV broadcasts from Carlsbad. State fire Capt. Mike Moehler told KCAL-TV that structures were actively burning, but he didn’t know how many.

Another wildfire further north forced the evacuation of residents in military housing at Camp Pendleton, and the closure of an elementary school on the Marine Corps base. A third fire spread from a burning vehicle on coastal Interstate 5 to roadside brush near the northwest corner of the Marine base.

Cancer screening could cost Medicare billions Every person covered by Medicare would shell out an additional $3 a month if the government agreed to pay to screen certain current and former smokers for lung cancer, a new study estimates.

It would cost Medicare $2 billion a year to follow recent advice to offer these lung scans – and fuel angst about rising health costs that are borne by everyone, not just smokers, the study found.

Joshua Roth of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle said the researchers merely were tallying the cost of screening, and were not “judging value” or saying whether Medicare should pay it.

Lung cancer is the world’s top cancer killer, mainly because it’s usually found too late for treatment to do much good.

Obama to Congress: OK new cash for bridges TARRYTOWN, N.Y. – With New York’s aging Tappan Zee Bridge looming behind him, President Barack Obama challenged congressional Republicans to spend more money on the nation’s crumbling roads, see-through bridges and outdated ports or face losing businesses to other countries.

“We’ve got ports that aren’t ready for the next generation of cargo ships,” Obama said against a backdrop of cranes that are being used to replace the 58-yearold Tappan Zee. “We’ve got more than 100,000 bridges that are old enough to qualify for Medicare.”

Obama used the major Hudson River crossing point north of New York City and its $3.9 billion replacement project to illustrate a fast-track system he initiated.

NEW YORK – The museum devoted to the story of Sept. 11 tells it in victims’ last voicemails, in photos of people falling from the twin towers, in the scream of sirens, in the dust-covered shoes of those who fled the skyscrapers’ collapse, in the wristwatch of one of the airline passengers who confronted the hijackers.

By turns chilling and heartbreaking, a place of both deathly silence and distressing sounds, the National September 11 Memorial Museum opens this week deep beneath ground zero, 12½ years after the terrorist attacks.

The project was marked by construction problems, financial squabbles and disputes over the appropriate way to honor the nearly 3,000 people killed in New York, Washington and the Pennsylvania countryside.

Whatever the challenges in conceiving it, “you won’t walk

out of this museum without a feeling that you understand humanity in a deeper way.

And for a museum, if we can achieve that objective, we’ve done our job,” museum President Joe Daniels said Wednesday.

The privately operated museum – built along with the memorial plaza above for $700 million in private donations and tax dollars – will be dedicated Thursday with a visit from President Barack Obama and will be open initially to victims’ families, survivors and first responders. It will open to the public May 21.

Visitors start in an airy pavilion where the rusted tops of two of the World Trade Center’s trident-shaped columns shoot upward. From there, stairs and ramps lead visitors on an unsettling journey into 9/11.

First, a dark corridor is filled with the voices of people remembering the day.

Then visitors find themselves

looking over a cavernous space, 70 feet below ground, at the last steel column removed during the ground zero cleanup – a totem covered with the numbers of police precincts and firehouses and other messages.

Descend farther – past the battered “survivors’ staircase” that hundreds used to escape the burning towers – and there are such artifacts as a mangled piece of the antenna from atop the trade center and a fire truck with its cab shorn off.

And then, through a revolving door, visitors are plunged into the chaos of Sept. 11: fragments of planes, a teddy bear left at the impromptu memorials that arose after the attacks, the sounds of emergency radio transmissions and office workers calling loved ones.

“We wanted a very gradual, quiet descent, for that connection to actually emerge,” said Carl Krebs, an architect on the project.

dysphoria.

Manning cannot be discharged from the service while serving her 35-year prison sentence.

Her lawyer, David Coombs, contended that civilian prisons are not as safe.

Coombs said “any military facility would be acceptable.”

In a statement, he said “it is common knowledge that the federal prison system cannot guarantee the safety and security of Chelsea in the way that the military prison system can.”

Defense officials say the Army is expected to meet with the Justice Department this week to discuss the matter. The Justice Department declined to comment on the Manning issue.

Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, said the Constitution requires that prisoners be given medical treatment. “The Constitution prohibits cruel and

unusual punishment against any prisoners,” she said. “It doesn’t matter if she’s requesting treatment for gender dysphoria or a broken leg.

They have to treat her. And it is cruel to withhold medical treatment.”

Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby said no decision to transfer Manning to a civilian detention facility had been made. “Any such decision will, of course, properly balance the soldier’s medical needs with our obligation to ensure Pvt. Manning remains behind bars,” he said.

Coombs said responsibility for Manning rests with the military.

“The military’s refusal to provide necessary medical treatment to Chelsea is flatout transphobia,” Coombs said. “Rather than deal with the reality that transgender persons are currently serving in the military, the military would seek to pawn off any responsibility for these.”

The Army sends an average of 15 to 20 prisoners a year to civilian prisons. But Manning’s appeals have not been exhausted, she’s still in the military and her case is of national security interest.

Those are factors that normally would prevent a transfer.

The former intelligence analyst was sentenced in August for six Espionage Act violations and 14 other offenses for giving WikiLeaks more than 700,000 secret military and State Department documents, along with battlefield video, while working in Iraq in 2009 and 2010.

Part of Manning’s defense was that she should not have been deployed because of her deteriorating mental health.

That included evidence about the soldier’s extreme mental pressure over her gender-identity issues during the “don’t ask, don’t tell” era when gay service members could not serve openly. That policy was later changed.

Need a business idea? Sasse a nominal tea party win Don’t pick what’s hot

By THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK – Jumping on the latest hot trend seems like a sure-fire way to strike entrepreneurial gold. But while yoga studios and gluten-free bakeries may be popular, investors and business consultants say take a broader view. Trends in society, including changing demographics and technology are the best guide. Instead of joining the pack, wouldbe small business owners should look for a niche and fill it.

Products or services that make life easier, particularly for the well-to-do.

Businesses that deliver ready-to-cook dinner ingredients or care for elderly relatives are good bets, says Brian Cohen, chairman of New York Angels, a group of investors that buy stakes in small or young companies.

“Over and over again, the companies that are getting funding are serving upper-income people,” Cohen says.

Think about things that are convenient, save time and are fun to use – such as dinner ingredient companies, which deliver to customers all the makings of a dish like stir-fried beef or vegetable lasagna. They offer people who like to cook the satisfaction of making a meal, without having to shop.

Elder care companies, which send aides to care or do housekeeping for older or sick people, relieve the stress on family members when a parent or other relative needs full- or part-time attention.

The economy is growing and people have more money to spend on things that aren’t necessities. As for elder care, people are living longer and are more likely to need help.

FREMONT, Neb. – With Republican Ben Sasse, tea party groups figured out the riddle of winning elections in 2014: Claim a Republican as a member of the tribe, even if his approach to politics doesn’t line up exactly with their own.

That’s not an option in next week’s Georgia and Kentucky primaries and later in other Republican bastions where the groups already have committed to true ideologues with tea party credentials as authentic as Sasse’s were convenient.

None have the look of a runaway winner, as Sasse was Tuesday in Nebraska’s five-way primary. It sets up a November that could, for the first time since the movement burst onto the scene five years ago, lack a full-bred tea party candidate on the ballot for U.S. Senate.

“My overall sense is that the balance of power is shifting back to mainstream con-

Since its rise in 2009, the tea party has realized some of its biggest successes in the Senate. Mike Lee’s defeat of Utah Republican Sen. Robert Bennett in 2010 was a harbinger of victories to come against establishment candidates. Among them: Rand Paul over Trey Grayson in

Kentucky; Ted Cruz over David Dewhurst in Texas; and Marco Rubio over Charlie Crist in Florida.

But in 2012, the movement stumbled. Tea party-backed candidates again won Senate primaries but lost nominally Republicans seats to Democrats in the general election, including after making insensitive comments about rape in Missouri and Indiana.

WASHINGTON – The Pentagon is trying to transfer convicted national security leaker Pvt. Chelsea Manning to a civilian prison where she can get treatment for a gender-identity condition. But her lawyer said Wednesday that a move from a military prison would make Manning choose between the treatment and her safety.

Two Pentagon officials told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel gave the Army approval last month to try to work out a plan to transfer Manning from Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, to a federal prison. Manning entered the Army as a man named Bradley.

The officials were not authorized to speak on the record and discussed the matter on condition of anonymity.

Manning has been diagnosed with gender dysphoria, the sense of being a woman in a man’s body. Civilian prisons can provide treatment, but the Defense Department does not, and a transfer would allow her to see if she wants to complete the transformation to being a woman.

Transgender people are not allowed to serve in the military.

Manning was convicted of sending classified documents to anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks. The soldier has asked for hormone therapy and to be able to live as a woman.

The request was the first by a transgender military inmate and set up this dilemma for the department: how to treat a soldier for a diagnosed disorder without violating long-standing military policy.

The military also has repeatedly argued that it does not have the medical expertise to provide treatment for gender

People carry the coffin of a mine accident victim for burial Wednesday in Soma, Turkey. Nearly 450 miners were rescued, the mining company said, but the fate of an unknown number of others remained unclear.

Turkey’s worst-ever mine disaster kills at least 274

By DESMOND BUTLER and SUZAN FRASER The Associated Press SOMA, Turkey – Amid wails of grief and anger, rescue workers coated in grime trudged repeatedly out of a coal mine Wednesday with stretchers of bodies that swelled the death toll to 274 – the worst such disaster in Turkish history.

Hopes faded for 150 others still trapped deep underground in smoldering tunnels filled with toxic gases.

Anti-government protests broke out in the mining town of Soma, as well as Istanbul and the capital, Ankara, with Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan heckled as he tried to show concern. Protesters shouted “Murderer!” and “Thief!” and Erdogan was forced to seek refuge in a supermarket, surrounded by police.

The display of anger could have significant repercussions for the Turkish leader, who is widely expected to run for president in the August election, although he has not yet announced his candidacy.

Tensions were high as hundreds of relatives and miners jostled outside the mine’s entrance Wednesday, waiting for news amid a heavy police presence. Rows of women wailed uncontrollably and men knelt sobbing or simply stared in disbelief as rescue workers removed body after body, some charred beyond recognition.

One elderly man wearing a prayer cap wailed after he recognized one of the dead, and police had to restrain him from climbing into an ambulance with the body. An injured rescue worker who emerged alive was whisked away on a stretcher to the cheers of onlookers.

Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said 787 people were inside the coal mine at the time of Tuesday’s explosion: 274 died and 363 were rescued, including scores who were injured.

The death toll topped a 1992 gas explosion that killed 263 workers near Turkey’s Black Sea port of Zonguldak. It also left 150 miners still unaccounted for.

Yildiz said rescue workers were trying late Wednesday to reach the bodies of up to 22 people trapped in one zone. Some of the workers were 1,400 feet deep inside the mine, he said.

One rescue worker who declined to be named said he led a 10-man team about a half-mile down into the mine’s tunnels, where they recovered three bodies before being forced to flee because of smoke from burning coal. Rescue operations were halted for several hours into Thursday morning because high gas concentrations in the mine needed to be cleared.

The last miner rescued alive emerged from the mine around dawn and the first burials took place later Wednesday.

BAUCHI, Nigeria – Islamic militants again attacked the remote Nigerian town from which nearly 300 schoolgirls were kidnapped, Nigeria’s military said Wednesday, resulting in a firefight that killed 12 soldiers and led angry troops to fire on a commanding officer.

Soldiers said the troops fired at a senior officer who came to pay respects to the killed soldiers, whose bodies were brought to a barracks in Maiduguri. The capital of northeastern Borno state is north of the town of Chibok, where the girls were abducted a month ago.

The incident is a sign of demoralization in the military that is in charge of the search operation for the abducted schoolgirls. The failure of Nigeria’s government and military to find them after the April 15 mass abduction has brought mounting national and international outrage and forced Nigeria’s government to accept inter-

national help.

Nigeria’s Ministry of Defense played down the incident, saying soldiers “registered their anger about the incident by firing into the air. The situation has since been brought under control, as there is calm in the cantonment ...”

But soldiers who were at the scene at Mailamari Barracks said infuriated troopers fired directly at the vehicle carrying Maj. Gen. Ahmadu Mohammed, the general officer commanding the army’s 7 Division. He was not hit.

The witnesses said the soldiers were angry because they wanted to spend the night in a village and told their command the road was dangerous after the attack just outside Chibok. They were ordered to travel instead and were ambushed, with at least 12 killed. The soldiers spoke on condition of anonymity because they want to keep their jobs.

The Ministry of Defense said in a statement that four soldiers who were on patrol

around Chibok were killed.

The military often exaggerates the number of enemy killed and downplays its own death toll.

Vigilante groups have been springing up in northern Nigeria over the past year amid accusations the military is not acting fast enough against the Islamic extremists.

In Kalabalge, a village about 155 miles from the Maiduguri, where the terrorist network was born, residents said they took matters into their own hands.

On Tuesday morning, after learning about an impending attack by the militants, villagers ambushed two trucks with gunmen, residents and a security official told The Associated Press.

At least 10 militants were detained, and scores were killed, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because he is not authorized to give interviews to journalists. It was not immediately clear where the detainees were being held.

OUR VIEW

Sister shows true integrity during race Twin sisters usually have much in common and do a lot to help each other during their lifetimes.

That kind of friendship is heartwarming to behold.

Such a relationship was on full display Saturday during the state junior high school track meet in Carterville, not far from Carbondale.

Claire and Chloe Gruen-ke are eighth-grade twins who attend Wesclin Junior High School in Trenton.

Running in an 800-meter race, they had gotten more than halfway through when trouble struck.

Chloe suffered a painful muscle strain and tumbled to the ground.

Claire, her sister, could have kept running.

Instead, she stopped, helped Chloe up, and carried her piggyback for the remaining 350 meters. At the finish line, Claire lowered Chloe to the ground, and they crossed the line together.

Although they finished last, they certainly were first in the hearts of stunned track fans who stood and loudly applauded the girls.

Their coach, Ted Crail, was similarly moved.

“This was the first time I ever had tears in my eyes at one of the meets,” he said.

Upon reading about the piggyback finish, we brushed back a tear, too.

We salute Claire for being such a great sister to Chloe. We hope their example of sportsmanship is an inspiration to others.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Smut culture: The real Clinton legacy Remember that day in 1998 when Bill Clinton’s lewd Oval Office liaisons with an intern named Monica Lewinsky became public knowledge and Bill Clinton thought he was a cooked goose?

He sure looked that way in those early pictures, and he acted that way, too, enlarging the conspiracies he’d already orchestrated to try to obstruct justice in the Paula Jones sexual harassment case. Before the whole grimy era was technically over, culminating in historic impeachment proceedings, Bill Clinton would engage in suborning perjury, witness tampering and the like – even gulling his own cabinet members to lie publicly on his behalf – all to save his political hide, which the American

VIEWS Diana West people had no intention of tanning.

Sure, he would be found in contempt for intentionally misleading the court, and would have to surrender his Arkansas law license for five years. He would resign from the bar of the U.S. Supreme Court rather than face disbarment, but when it came to vox populi, none of it was a big deal.

After all, it was just “about sex,” right? Wrong. It was about Bill Clinton’s personal “war on women” (which went far beyond Jones and Lewinsky) and the laws he broke

to cover it up, but that didn’t matter, either. Meanwhile, Clinton’s wider war on the American people – including “Chinagate,” which involved fundraising from Red China, transferring military technology to Red China, his politicization of the INS to naturalize illegal aliens (including felons) to vote Democrat (sound familiar?), and other abuses of power – never entered impeachment proceedings, and seem to be all but forgotten now.

There’s an irony here. Bill Clinton, our first adolescent president, believed his country was more grown up than he was. What a happy surprise it must have been when the electorate acted more like his posse, circling the wagons around this

man who had demeaned his country, his office, his family and himself for all the world to see – including, of course, Osama bin Laden.

That’s not to say, however, that Bill Clinton left the culture unchanged. Under Clinton’s “moral” leadership, America took a giant plunge into previously unplumbed cultural degradation.

Don’t get me wrong. We were already well on our way. But here are three new depths of sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll I think we and, worse, our children, reached more quickly, thanks to the example set by Bill Clinton, indispensably assisted by his chief enabler and would-be successor, Hillary Clinton.

THANKS THOSE WHO CAME TO TOWN HALL MEETINGS

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, May 15, 2014

22

To the Editor: From April 22 to 24, I hosted three town hall meetings in the 43rd district. The meetings were held in Bolingbrook, Romeoville and Joliet. I thank all those who took time from their busy schedules to attend and share their views on Illinois government.

I give special thanks to mayors Roger Claar, John Oak and Thomas Giarrante for opening their village and city halls for these events.

Two-way communication between elected officials and vot-

ers is essential. You may reach me at any time via my website www.senatorpatmcguire.com, where you may also sign-up for my e-newsletter. Look for more town halls throughout the 43rd Senate district coming soon.

Pat McGuire State Senator, 43rd District

CONGRESS SHOULD NOT HAVE TAXING POWER To the Editor: The present Congress is spending like there is no ending to the source of money. They are not voting to fulfill the wishes of the people, only those who

are the highest bidder for their vote. Congressional pay, days of service, travel expense, medical plans, pension and raises are left to increases at their discretion.

Whoever heard of such freedom left to any other job in the world? There is only one way to correct this: The states need to take away the taxing power of Congress. This can be done by having an assembling of all governors, and giving the governors the authority to declare all congressional taxing power null and void.

Then they will vote additions to the Constitution in which

authority concerning delegate representing them in Congress will be governed. The collective state will set terms of service in Congress, pay, pension, travel expense, medical coverage, paid vacations and work schedules.

The amount of money spent to elect delegate from any source will be set in concrete. Any monies used in excess of these amounts will automatically bar that delegate from assuming office. The annual budgets Congress wishes to set would have to be approved by the states first. In case of emergency spending for whatever

purpose, Congress would have to contact a special council, set up by the Collective Governors Association, for approval. It would be appropriate to set up contingency funds within each annual budget, but authority to use them would also have to be cleared by the special governors council.

If the states are in control of taxation they would not have to assume huge amounts of debt now imposed upon them by a Congress such as the present one we now have.

Clinton-Lewinsky relationship still has cultural impact today • WEST Continued from page 21 • Sex. What is newly degrading here is how, during the Clinton years, talking and broadcasting with ease, if not insouciance, and definitely shamelessness, about the nasty details of the Clinton-Lewinsky “relationship” became the new, must-have oratory skills.

Sixteen years later, of course, it’s the new boring, as the spate of headlines and jokes about Monica Lewinsky’s recent Vanity Fair article shows.

But it’s not just talk that has changed. After the

Clinton administration, oral sex itself soon became the new, must-have personal dating skill researchers began encountering even among teens. Clinton may have been trying to save his political career when he said “I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky,” but now large numbers of college students tell researchers they don’t believe oral sex constitutes sexual relations, either. Unclear what they make of the STDs some of them contract as a result.

• Drugs. Hiding in plain sight in the most recent (2010) National Survey of Drug Use and Health among

12- to 17-year-olds is the spike in marijuana use beginning around 1992. That, of course, is the year the nation elected Bill Clinton, its first marijuana-using (if not, he claimed, inhaling) president. No, this phenomenon isn’t related to the Clinton sex scandals, but it seems linked to Clinton’s influence. According to the survey, youth marijuana use doesn’t appear to decline again until 2000 – when Clinton left office. It begins to increase noticeably again by around 2008 when Barack Obama, a high school “choom gang” member, won the White House. Can’t wait to see the post-legalization figures.

• Rock ‘n’ roll. From Miley Cyrus to Beyonce, robotically explicit pop stars give voice to the Clinton legacy in their exhibitionist displays for their young fans. Recently, a Cyrus show featuring a Clinton stand-in included “simulated fellatio.” Beyonce’s latest hit “Partition” includes the lines (these are the cleanest I could find): “He popped all my buttons and he ripped my blouse; he Monica Lewinsky’d all over my gown.” As a measure of manners and mores in 21st-century America, it’s worth noting that Beyonce, even if she didn’t sing “Partition,” was invited to entertain at Michelle Obama’s

White House birthday party.

In its pre-publication synopsis of the Lewinsky article, Vanity Fair reports that Lewinsky “requests one correction of Beyonce, regarding the lyrics to her recent hit “Partition.” Lewinsky writes: “Thanks, Beyonce, but if we’re verbing, I think you meant ‘Bill Clinton’d all on my gown,’ not ‘Monica Lewinsky’d.’ ” Such is the cultural trough where America now wallows. And Bill Clinton is one reason why.

Warriors win pitchers’ battle against Knights

* The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

• Thursday, May 15, 2014

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – With Lincoln-Way West’s Luke Morgan and Lincoln-Way Central’s Kevin Mampe battling in an old-fashioned pitchers duel with a strong wind blowing in, small plays figured to decide Wednesday’s SouthWest Suburban Red baseball game.

And two of those little plays came during the third inning when the host Warriors collected the only runs they would need in their 2-1 victory over the Knights.

Jake Robbins led off the third with a triple to right.

It looked like he might stay there after Mampe struck out the next two hitters. But Adam Knerr put down a bunt to score Robbins, and Morgan (2 for 3) doubled to right to make it a 2-0 contest.

The Knights’ righty allowed five hits in the game, three of those coming in the third. He finished with nine strikeouts.

Morgan yielded a pair of hits while striking out 10 after going six innings in his initial start of the season. Dylan Eller added a strikeout and didn’t allow a hit, earning the save after pitching the seventh for the Warriors (24-4, 9-2).

“Their pitcher Mampe threw a great game and Luke battled through some tough innings and got us to where we wanted to be, and Dylan did a good job, too, and finished it off,” Warriors coach Jake Zajc said. “On a cold day where the wind blowing in, you’ve got to put the pressure on the other team and we got a bunt and a clutch hit. It was a good, quality game and we’re glad to be on top, but we know Friday will be another battle with them.”

After the Knights (18-9, 9-2) were unable to get anyone in scoring position through the first four innings, they got five individuals to second or beyond during their final three at-bats.

Central made things interesting in the sixth when Pat Michalak drew one of Morgan’s three walks and moved

Lincoln-Way West first baseman Dan Brokop (right) is late with the tag on an attempted pick off on Lincoln-Way Central’s Sean Studer during Wednesday’s game in New Lenox. West won, 2-1.

by Mampe. Sean Barry followed with an infield grounder to make it 2-1 before Morgan ended the threat with a strikeout.

“That was my first start this year, so hopefully I’ll continue to start and keep getting good wins,” Morgan said. “My curveball was definitely working for me. And as

long as I kept getting strikes, I knew that my fielders would make the plays. We focused on getting the bunts and going the opposite way and if we keep doing that, we’re going to win games. This feels very good since it’s always fun to beat our crosstown rivals.”

Mampe finished with zero walks and only allowed one baserunner to reach scoring

position outside of the third inning.

The Knights, who host the Warriors on Friday, threatened again in the seventh when Cam Post drew a walk to reach base for the third straight time. But Eller got a strikeout and a force before coaxing a flyout to end things.

“When you have a cold day with the wind is blowing in and both pitchers are throw-

ing well, it’s going to be tough to score runs,” Knights coach Scott Gardner said. “They had that one big inning where they hit the ball hard and were able to string some hits together.

Morgan did a great job going after our guys and Kevin did the same thing. I was happy with the way our guys came back and put decent innings together in the sixth and seventh.”

BASEBALL: JCA 8-4, NAZARETH 4-1

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

singled home insurance runs, and Kyle Polaski entered to get the final three outs.

“I got the opportunity and it feels good to contribute,” Weis said of driving in four runs in consecutive, though well spaced, at-bats.

That sentiment was expressed by the offensive hero of Game 2, junior catcher Al Melone. He slammed a long double with the bases full to drive home two runs in JCA’s three-run fourth as the Hilltoppers extended their lead to 4-0 behind junior right-hander Nick Dalesandro, who at that point was throwing a no-hitter.

“I hit a 3-1 fastball over the middle of the plate,” Melone said, “It felt really good to contribute.”

“Weis, Devine, Melone, any time we get that kind of production from the bottom of our lineup, that’s a plus,” Voss said. “We’re getting contributions from a lot of places. We’re rotating at DH, left field and the catcher spots, and different guys are coming through.”

Dalesandro welcomed the offensive boost from batterymate Melone, who along with Tyrell had two of JCA’s six hits.

“Al has stepped up,” Dalesandro said. “He is trying to get into the lineup, and he has proven himself.”

The rest of the story was Dalesandro. The first hit he allowed was an infield single in the fifth. He stranded the bases loaded in the sixth and exited with the bases loaded and

one out in the seventh, having thrown 110 pitches with seven strikeouts.

Jackovich relieved and walked the only man he faced to force in Nazareth’s run. Ehrsam came on to get the final two outs, giving him a win and save on the day.

“Coach Voss is real protective of may arm, that’s why I love him being my coach,” said Dalesandro, who showed his displeasure at being removed.

“I felt at the time I should finish the game. But I know what he’s doing, and I have faith in our pen.”

“We’ve got two weeks left in the regular season,” Voss said.

“With a talent like Nick, you have to think long term. That’s much more important.”

Lockport, Lincoln-Way West send six to state badminton

SUBMITTED REPORTS LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. – Despite a late-inning rally, the University of St. Francis baseball team saw its 2014 campaign end Wednesday on the third day of the NAIA opening round as the Saints fell to No. 6-ranked Georgia Gwinnett, 11-8.

The host Grizzlies (50-11) earned a berth to the Wednesday night championship game against No. 17-ranked Southeastern.

Gwinnett, which dropped a 2-1 decision to the Saints (38-22) on Monday night, scored a pair of runs in the opening inning before adding four more in the second to take a 6-0 lead.

St. Francis got a run in the bottom of the third on a single by Joe Ruge. The Saints scored three runs in the fourth on consecutive RBI hits from Luke Wyss, Brandon Mendoza and Ruge to make it 6-4.

Gwinnett answered in the top of the fifth with a threerun outburst and added one in the sixth to lead, 10-4.

The score held until the eighth when St. Francis took advantage of two GGC errors, two walks and a wild pitch to score three runs. The Grizzlies scored one in the ninth to make it 11-7.

Trevor Cherwin led off the bottom of the ninth with a walk. A one-out single from David Kuhne, followed by Wyss’ third hit, put the tying run at the plate. After Mendoza drew a walk, Jonathan Spitler entered the game as Georgia Gwinnett’s seventh pitcher.

On his second pitch, Ruge hit a bouncer down the thirdbase line that appeared headed for extra bases, but William Paschal snared the ball and stepped on third to start a game-ending double play.

St. Francis sophomore starter Charlie Ludolph took the loss.

Kuhne, Wyss and Ruge each had three hits, while Cherwin and Kyle Burton collected a pair as the Saints finished with 14 hits, 13 of them singles. St. Francis left the bases loaded twice and stranded 14.

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com Lockport and Lincoln-Way Central claimed plaques last week after winning their own sectional badminton tournaments.

While the Porters will send their full contingent of six players to this weekend’s finals in Charleston, the Knights advanced four players. Sectional runner-up Lincoln-Way West also qualified six individuals.

A total of 20 athletes from six local programs will be competing in the two-day finals at Eastern Illinois University’s Lantz Building.

Coach Denise Hadley’s Porters repeated as sectional champs and will be sending a half-dozen qualifiers for the third straight year. Meanwhile, coach Liz Karales’ Knights won their first sectional title since 2009, when they were the state runner-up.

Lockport went one-two in doubles at the sectional as seniors Araceli Lozano and Marisol Onate beat juniors

Jen Inczauskis and Lauren Hueckstaedt, 21-16, 21-17, in the finals.

Porters sophomore Jessica Miller lost in the sectional title match, while sophomore Haley Egelhof fell in the thirdplace match to Plainfield South’s lone state qualifier, senior Savannah Hoar.

The Knights won sectional titles in both singles and doubles as senior Jana Mudrock qualified for state again following her singles win, earning a 5-8 seed in the process, while seniors Margaret Kolyvas and Maria Brown claimed top honors in doubles play.

Junior Claire Hilgenbrink also qualified in singles for Central while Lincoln-Way East’s doubles team of juniors Sara Piortrowski and Sara Teichman advanced after taking fourth.

“We have four athletes going down to compete at Eastern this week and we are very excited for all of them,” Karales said. “We are led by three seniors who are all great leaders and role models for our

younger girls. We are very excited to see how far the ladies will go at the state meet.

“Jana [Mudrock] earned a 5-8 seed and we are hoping she can finish in the top 4. Our doubles team of Margaret and Maria are a great team and we have high hopes for them as well. Claire [Hilgenbrink] has also had a wonderful week at practice and she has been pushing both herself and Jana throughout the week.”

While Andrew beat Lincoln-Way West to win its own sectional, the Warriors qualified six individuals, which was one more than the hosts.

Warriors freshman Cassie Ruettiger finished second in singles while junior Stephanie McDonald took fourth after falling to Joliet West’s qualifier, senior Casadi Brendemuehl.

Also for the Warriors, seniors Beth Heise and Hannah Sigrist placed second and juniors Divinity Burgos and Delayne Weston took fourth in doubles play to earn trips to state.

JOLIET – Danny Weis described the situation as very different.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been involved in a game like that before, over two days,” the Joliet Catholic outfielder/designated hitter said Wednesday after the Hilltoppers swept East Suburban Catholic Conference foe Nazareth, 8-4 and 4-1, respectively.

Of course, when you’re a hero as Weis was in the “different” game, the wait is worth it.

The first game of the series was suspended with the score tied at 4 and Nazareth batting in the bottom of the seventh inning. The first batter had an 0-2

count.

JCA (23-6, 10-4) got into that position largely because of Weis, whose pinch-hit, two-run double in the sixth inning tied it. Rylan Bannon had driven in the other runs with a sacrifice fly and RBI double, while Jake Jackovich had two hits.

Nazareth (19-10, 5-7) put two runners on the base with one out against Danny Ehrsam in the seventh, but right fielder Keegan Tyrell got a good jump on a line drive, made the catch and doubled the runner off first to end the inning.

Weis stepped up with two outs and runners on second and third in the top of the eighth and grounded a two-run single to left to give JCA a 6-4 lead. Dan Devine and Bannon

OAKLAND, Calif. – Less than two months into his career, Jose Abreu is already the guy the White Sox want at the plate when the game is on the line.

Abreu hit a three-run homer in the eighth inning, and the Sox snapped a four-game losing streak with a 4-2 victory Wednesday over the Oakland Athletics.

“We realize what he is and how important he is to us,” manager Robin Ventura said.

“When you get in situations like that you’re pretty glad he’s up there. That’s what he means to us. You always feel like you’re in a good spot if he’s up there with guys on.”

Gordon Beckham homered on the first pitch of the game for the Sox, who rallied against Oakland’s bullpen to end a seven-game losing streak at the Coliseum.

John Jaso and Josh Donaldson hit solo homers off Andre Rienzo for the Athletics, who were in line for a season-best seventh straight victory before the bullpen meltdown in the eighth cost Tommy Milone a chance at a win.

Beckham and Conor Gillaspie started the rally with one-out singles against Fernando Abad (0-1), and Abreu greeted Luke Gregerson with a no-doubt drive to left field for his 15th home run of the season.

“He has ridiculous power,” Gillaspie said. “When he gets the ball up in the air like that

White Sox’s Jose Abreu (79) is congratulated by Dayan Viciedo (left) after Abreu hit a three-run home run off Athletics’ Luke Gregerson in the eighth inning of Wednesday’s game in Oakland, Calif. it’s going to be tough for it not to leave. Hats off to him. The guy made a mistake and he took advantage of it.”

Abreu, a rookie slugger from Cuba, is the fourth player in major league history to hit 15 homers in his first 42 games, joining Wally Berger, Kevin Maas and Wally Joyner.

“I got the opportunity to hit a good pitch,” Abreu said through an interpreter. “All I was doing was trying to hit a ball in the air to bring the guy from third base. But I was able to get a good swing and a good pitch to hit.”

Gregerson was trying to make Abreu chase a pitch out of the strike zone but caught too much of the plate instead.

“You try to make him fish, which he definitely does,” Gregerson said. “I don’t think it was really a bad pitch. It was just something he was

ready for. He was looking for it. We’ve been doing it to him the whole series, pound him in. It just stayed up a little too much. Any other day it could be a ground out to third base, we get a double play.”

Ronald Belisario (2-3) got four outs for the win and Matt Lindstrom pitched the ninth for his sixth save in nine chances.

Milone was in danger of losing his spot in the rotation before pitching eight scoreless innings against Washington last Friday. He followed that up with another strong performance, allowing one run and five hits in six innings. But he ended up with a no-decision because of the Sox’s late rally.

The bullpen has been the one spotty area so far for the A’s, with eight of the team’s 16 losses being credited to the relievers.

Cubs-Cardinals rained out, doubleheader on Aug 30

WHAT TO WATCH Pro baseball Cubs at St. Louis, 12:45 p.m., CSN After Wednesday’s rain out, the Cubs are sending

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Jason Hammel (4-1, 2.45) to the mound to face Cardinals right-hander Michael Wacha (2-3, 2.85) to finish the series in St. Louis. Wednesday’s game will make up the game as part of a day-night doubleheader Aug. 30 at Busch Stadium.

ST. LOUIS – The game between the Cubs and Cardinals scheduled for Wednesday night was rained out.

It was postponed before it started because of a wet weather forecast. They’ll make up the game as part of a day-night doubleheader at Busch Stadium on Aug. 30.

Michael Wacha (2-3) and the Cubs’ Jason Hammel (4-

1), the scheduled starters for Wednesday, will now go Thursday.

Trevor Rosenthal had been 10 for 10 before giving up the tying single to the Cubs’ Emilio Bonifacio in the ninth inning Tuesday night. A walk to Darwin Barney contributed to the Cubs’ rally and the Cardinals won, 4-3, in 12 innings.

The Cubs are 3-15 in games decided by two runs or fewer.

“I’m more concerned if we didn’t fight back,” manager Rick Renteria said. “The reality is we took the lead and they ended up going ahead on us, but we came back.

“I think the fact that we keep bouncing back is something.”

MORE THAN JUST WEDDING DRESSES Donation of formal gowns leads to fundraiser for Haitian orphanage at Joliet church If you go

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Taja Jones, youth ministry volunteer at Judson Memorial Baptist Church in Joliet, called church member Mike Tackebury with exciting news. She had some wedding dresses to donate to his annual benefit garage sale.

But when Tackebury reached the basement of Martellen’s Dress & Bridal Boutique in Lemont, where Jones works, he said, “Taja, this is more than 10 boxes,” and called one of his volunteers, Deb Filotto of Joliet, to help.

“I ended up with four van loads, top to bottom, of these beautiful dresses,” Filotto said. “Some of them were never touched, never taken out of the bag. They were pristine and not all of them were wedding dresses.”

Filotto told Tackebury the dresses deserved their own sale and he agreed. All proceeds from the Boutique Wedding and Special Occasion Gown Sale – scheduled for Friday and Saturday – will be donated to the Faith in Action orphanage in Haiti, through the Don Shire ministries (www. donshire.com).

Proceeds from the June 12, 13 and 14 benefit garage sale also will be donated to the orphanage. For pickup of large items, call Tackebury at 816600-1676.

Tackebury, of Joliet, is awed and grateful at the way Filotto jumped in to help. Filotto has arranged volunteers to help her price and display the garments. He anticipates making $20,000 from the dress sale, in addition to $25,000 from the garage sale.

“I would have just thrown them on a table and charged a buck a piece,” Tackebury said.

Items for sale will include 150 wedding dresses and 225 mother-of-the-bride formal wear, as well as flower girl and christening gowns, Filotto said. Brand names include Da

n WHAT: Boutique Wedding and Special Occasion Gown Sale n WHEN: 6 to 9 p.m. Friday and 9 to 3 p.m. Saturday n WHERE: Judson Memorial Baptist Church, 2800 Black Road, Joliet n WHAT’S AVAILABLE: Weddings dresses, sizes 2 to 16, $100 to $250; Formals/prom/mother of the bride, sizes 4 to 16, $30 to $75; Flower girl dresses, christening dresses, veils and more. n INFORMATION: www.donshire. com; call 815-600-1676

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Taja Jones steams a veil from a wedding gown May 8 at Judson Memorial Baptist Church in Joliet. The dresses will be for sale Friday and Saturday at the church. All proceeds will benefit Faith in Action Haiti Orphanage.

Deb Filotto prices a wedding gown at Judson Memorial Baptist Church in Joliet on May 8.

Vinci, Maggie Sottero and St. Patrick, Filotto said.

It’s possible that some dresses with $250 price tags may sell for as low as $25 and the four most expensive dresses – easily retailed at $2,000, Jones said – will be priced at $250. Prom gowns will range between $30 and $75, Filotto said.

“This is a great opportunity for the bride on a budget to get an upscale dress at a great

price,” Filotto said.

Shortly after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Tackebury, the father of seven children, six of whom he adopted, thought of all the displaced children and wanted to help. So he cleaned house, hosted a garage sale and raised $1,300, which he sent to Haiti through Don Shire, Tackebury said.

The next year, Tackebury set a goal of $10,000. He asked family, friends and fellow

church members to donate items, which Tackebury offered to pick up. Others heard about his efforts and contacted him.

When he ran out of storage space at home, neighbors opened up theirs. That year, Tackebury saw a little better than half of his goal but, in year three, when the sale moved to the grounds of Judson Memorial Baptist Church, he raised $11,000. Last year, Tackebury’s garage sale earned $16,000 for the orphans.

Jones, of Joliet and a member of Will County Baptist Church in Joliet, said when her boss bought Martellen’s Dress & Bridal Boutique she also acquired its inventory, which eventually became discontinued by the manufacturers.

“Over time, she accumulated these dresses in her basement she could not use,” Jones said.

Assisting in preparing the dresses for the big sale is Allison Selk of Minooka.

As a member of Minooka Bi-

ble Church, Selk has gone on several mission trips to Haiti to help improve life for the orphans. She met Tackebury last year when she donated items to his sale, was instantly impressed with her zeal and started helping out with events.

Tackebury is pleased that the orphans’ plight is touching Christians in other churches and fostering cooperation across denominations, especially since the orphans need a more serviceable orphanage and a school.

“We can get better, if we work together,” Tackebury said.

Selk said the current orphanage is a three-bedroom house. Its residents are the Rev. Cenor (along with his wife and child) and 23 orphans ranging in age from 4 to 13.

These people have “nothing” compared to American standards, Selk said, but they don’t need it. They rely on God to supply their needs.

“They put all their faith in the Lord,” Selk said. “They are very religious, happy, welcoming, beautiful people who take so much pride in themselves.

Even though they live in ratty tents, their skirts are clean and their shirts are clean.

Their church services are two and half hours long and they sing their hearts out. Their spirits are wonderful.”

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

U.S. Rep. George Miller, from California, said, “The trouble with eating Italian food is that five or six days later, you’re hungry again.”

The trouble with 5-6 hands is deciding in which order to bid the suits. Look at today’s South hand. Would you open one spade or one heart?

With a relatively weak hand, it is better to open one spade and describe your hand as a 5-5. But this hand has very few losers if partner has a fit in one suit (or, even better, in both suits). So South should plan to bid hearts, spades and spades again to describe his 5-6.

Note that his two-spade rebid is a reverse because partner, to show preference for the firstbid suit (hearts), has to go to the three-level.

There are two other points about the two-level reverse. It guarantees that the first-bid suit is longer than the second-bid, and it shows extra strength, instigating a gameforce.

So North quietly supports hearts before using the GrandSlam Force, asking South to bid seven hearts with two of the top three trumps. (Roman Key Card Blackwood would also do the job.) Surely South has the spade king for his three-spade bid.

How should South play after West leads the diamond king to dummy’s ace?

Just in case the breaks are bad, declarer should play a low trump to his ace. When West discards, South leads a spade to dummy’s ace, returns a spade to his king and ruffs a spade with dummy’s heart queen.

Then he plays a heart to his nine, draws trumps and claims.

34 Wife disapproves when man breaks language barrier Dear Abby: My wife and I speak English as our native language.

I also speak other languages fluently, although my wife does not.

When we travel to a country where I speak the language, she insists I speak only English. She says everybody in the world now speaks English and accuses me of showing off when I converse with a local in his or her language. She says it makes her uncomfortable.

I realize many people in other countries speak some – or even a lot of – English, but many do not.

What do you think? – Speechless In Atlanta Dear Speechless: Much as your wife might wish it, not everybody in the world speaks English. That you are able to speak to individuals in their native language is a tremendous asset when you travel. It makes for a warmer welcome and a fuller experience wherever you go, and I hope you will continue to use the skill you have worked

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to acquire.

However, to carry on long, involved conversations while your wife just stands there is rude, and if you find out that the person with whom you are talking also speaks English, you should make an effort to see that she is included.

Dear Abby: I was born with a very weak heart. At the age of 23, I went into heart failure and needed surgery. It has been two years since my open heart procedure, and it has changed my life for the best.

As a young, semi-attractive male, I feel insecure about my scar. I went to the beach with friends, and so many people looked at my scar I got uncomfortable and put my shirt back on for the rest of the time. I haven’t

gone back to the beach since.

And in situations where guys go shirtless, I wear mine even over the protests of my friends.

I can’t get over the scar. I feel like I’m disfigured. Any advice on how I can deal with this huge change? – Self-Conscious In Georgia Dear Self-Conscious: Because you’re sensitive about the scar, perhaps you should talk to a plastic surgeon about your options in having it reduced. However, in my opinion, you are not “disfigured” – you are ALIVE. You fought for your life and won.

Few people get through life without some “battle scars.”

Since you can’t change the fact that it’s there, consider changing the way you think about it. In a way, it’s your medal of honor.

Scars have been known to fade with time, and so does self-consciousness.

Food allergies may occur in those allergic to plant pollen Dear Doctor K: I’ve always had seasonal allergies. But over the past few years, I’ve noticed that my lips swell and my mouth gets irritated when I eat certain fruits and vegetables. Have I developed new food allergies as an adult?

Dear Reader: I suspect you’ve developed a type of adult-onset food allergy known as oral allergy syndrome (OAS). People with OAS suffer from hay fever and experience an itchy mouth, scratchy throat, or swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue and throat after eating certain raw fruits, vegetables or some tree nuts.

In people who have allergies of any kind, immune system cells that normally fend off germs become overactive. They respond inappropriately – setting off an allergic reaction – to otherwise harmless substances known as allergens. These allergens are often proteins, found in everything from pollen to pet dander.

Every protein has a distinct shape. The immune system is responding to these shapes. Some fruit and vegetable proteins have a similar shape to plant pollen • proteins that are shed by trees, grasses or other plants. People with OAS often already have allergies to plant pollen. When they eat fruit or vegetables that contain similar proteins, their

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff overactive immune system goes to war. It unleashes the reaction normally produced by pollen.

However, in this case, the reaction occurs in the mouth, rather than in the nose and sinuses.

If you have OAS, the food or foods that will trigger an oral allergic reaction depend on the type of pollen you’re allergic to: • Birch tree (early spring allergies): People with allergies to birch tree pollen often have OAS from peaches, apples, pears, kiwis, plums, coriander, fennel, parsley, celery, cherries, carrots, hazelnuts and almonds.

• Grasses (late spring): peaches, celery, tomatoes, oranges, cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew.

• Ragweed (late summer, early fall): bananas, cucumbers, cantaloupe, watermelon, honeydew, zucchini, sunflower seeds, dandelion, chamomile and echinacea.

• Latex (year-round): bananas, avocados, kiwis, chestnuts and papayas.

If a food you love causes a reaction, try cooking it. This alters the protein so your im-

mune system doesn’t recognize it. Peeling a fruit or vegetable before you eat it may also help.

That’s because allergy-provoking proteins congregate near the surface. Finally, try taking an antihistamine about 30 to 60 minutes before eating a food that might give you OAS. It can help with your seasonal allergies and blunt an allergic reaction to food.

OAS is one of those conditions that are rarely taught in medical school. That once worked to my advantage. I was teaching a medical student in the clinic who told me he had just examined a patient with a problem he had never seen before. The patient’s lips suddenly had swollen up “bigger than Angelina Jolie’s!”

I went to see the patient with the student and asked, “In the past 24 hours, have you eaten any brand-new food, like a melon?” The patient replied: “Why yes, a friend brought over cantaloupe last night. I had never had that before.”

The student thought I was a genius. Untrue, but nevertheless, a moment to treasure.

Female student dislikes teacher who favors athletes Dr. Wallace: I didn’t like my history teacher this year. He always favored the boys, especially the athletes, because he is the school’s athletic director and used to be the boys’ basketball coach.

When I asked my counselor to transfer me to a different history class, his answer was a firm “no.” He said that students can never initiate a class transfer.

I then asked him if my parents could initiate a transfer and, again, I was told no.

What does a student have to do to get a lawyer to get out of a nogood class? – Unhappy Student, Houston, Tex. Dear Unhappy Student: All a lawyer could do is take your money and then inform you that a transfer would be impossible. Only school personnel can have a student transferred when it would be in the student’s or class’s best interest. Rarely, if ever, will a student be transferred because of a dislike for the teacher.

If students could initiate a transfer, counselors would be inundated with transfer requests because “the teacher is too hard,” or “I want to be with a friend in another class.”

All students should listen and do their very best in every class. Students can learn from all teachers, even teachers who need to improve their teaching style.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and so is my very, very best friend. We will both graduate from high school in June and we both were planning to attend the University of Washington. But all that has changed now. I’ll still be at the university, but I’m not sure of her plans just yet.

My friend recently found out that she is pregnant and her

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace boyfriend is trying to talk her into having an abortion. This is a very difficult decision for her and she is not sure what she wants to do. When she told her parents she was pregnant, they were not happy, but they are leaving the decision up to her. They assured her that they would stand by her regardless of what she decides.

I have been there for my friend through all this from the beginning, even before she told her parents, and she told me she couldn’t have gotten through it without me.

Now, my parents want me to sever all contact with my friend.

They think it’s disgraceful that my friend is pregnant and they feel strongly that the “sin” my friend committed will taint me if I continue to be her friend.

I don’t know what to do. Please give me your thoughts. – Nameless, Seattle, Wash.

Dear Nameless: Friendship can’t be turned off and on like a water faucet! This young lady is your best friend and it would be a serious error if you would turn your back on her when your trust and love is so desperately needed.

Your parents are not thinking clearly.

You would be tainted if you deserted a friend in a time of need. Even though your parents do not agree with your thinking, I hope that, in time, they will respect your decision and eventually embrace your definition of true friendship.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

‘Godzilla’: The monsters (yes, monsters) are a scream

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post “Godzilla” director Gareth Edwards’ 2010 theatrical debut, “Monsters,” hardly lived up to its name. Though technically a sci-fi flick, the British filmmakers’s first foray into creature features was basically an opposites-attract love story, set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic world beset by (barely glimpsed) aliens. If only it were more of an old-fashioned horror movie, I wrote, something featuring more monsters – and cooler ones – “it might be a bit better than it is.”

Be careful what you wish for.

With Edwards’ reboot of the 1954 Japanese classic (last rebooted in a mediocre 1998 update starring Matthew Broderick), the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction. “Godzilla” not only has more monsters – three, to be precise – but they’re way more interesting than any of the human characters.

The first mistake was killing off Juliette Binoche before the butter has even congealed on my popcorn.

The second was casting Ken Watanabe, Sally Hawkins and David Strathairn, and then giving them nothing to do.

And what’s with Bryan Cranston? As everyone by now knows from the trailer, he plays doomed nuclear engineer Joe Brody, a conspiracy nut obsessed with the Japanese government’s cover-up of a 1999 nuclear-plant disaster, ever since his wife (Binoche) was killed by a ball of radioactive steam. In his performance here, the Emmy Award-winner chews through more scenery than the titular lizard. After a few demented early scenes with him, “Godzilla” winds up in the far less capable hands of

Warner Bros. Pictures photos

TOP: Bryan Cranston (left) and Aaron Taylor-Johnson star in director Gareth Edwards’ reboot of the 1954 Japanese classic “Godzilla.” BOTTOM: Godzilla is ready for his close-up.

... Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

Yes, yes, he was fine when playing a teenage nerd in previous movies. But as Joe’s son Ford, an army ordnance expert who gets swept up in his father’s battle to save humanity, the British actor – all grown up and hunky – registers as just another piece of Hollywood beefcake.

Fortunately, the monsters are actually kind of a kick.

And isn’t that why you go see a movie like this anyway?

In addition to Godzilla, who the grainy opening credits reveal has been around since the 1950s, there are two new creatures. Dubbed MUTOs, for Massive Unidentified Terrestrial Organisms, they’re giant, bug-like things that make a guttural clicking sound and feed on nuclear weapons. (Sometimes they

use their mandibles. In one dimly lit scene, one of them appears to shove a warhead between its legs. Ew.) One of them – the male – flies. His mate is carrying an egg sac filled with dozens, perhaps hundreds, of considerably less massive, but even more terrifying, babies. The film centers on Mr. and Mrs. MUTO’s attempt to settle down and raise a family. At the same time, we humans are trying to figure out a way to kill them that doesn’t also kill us.

And the movie is called “Godzilla”? Trust me, there’s a reason he gets top billing, but it would spoil the fun to explain why.

In any case, the MUTOs alone are worth the price of admission. They’re nasty, hard to kill and very, very

• “Godzilla” received twoand-a-half stars out of four.

The film is rated PG-13 and contains frightening mayhem and destruction. It runs 123 minutes.

TODAY – This will be an eventful and exciting year for you. Follow your heart and stand firm regarding your goals. You can simplify things by refusing to let others complicate your plans.

Determination, hard work and focus will get you where you want to go.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Confusion, mistakes and a lack of control could be problems for you today. Remain diligent at your workplace despite the conditions. Certain relationships are likely to be difficult. Avoid restrictions.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You will capture the attention of your superiors. Show how much of a team player you can be. Make relevant suggestions that are sure to improve the workplace.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Someone close to you may be deceptive. Don’t let your anger get the better of you. Try to pinpoint the source of the problem and work it out together. Honesty is the best policy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You will have to make some compromises to stay in the good graces of your colleagues today. Someone will feel that you’ve failed to be attentive or caring. Make amends.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Children and loved ones should be included in your plans. Find something physical to participate in. Sports events or other outdoor activities will provide a much-needed diversion.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Take a good look around and consider what positive adjustments you can make to your home. Get feedback from friends and family. It’s time to reorganize or recycle any unused or unwanted possessions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Proceed with caution when using mechanical or electrical devices. You’ll encounter problems if you take a shortcut. You will get the results you want by being methodical and precise.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Consider starting a home-based business. Your ideas are good, but don’t share them until you have everything in place. Someone will steal your deal if you aren’t careful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Emphasize your best traits when dealing with superiors. You will be well- equipped for a promotion if you develop a closer rapport with those in a position to further your interests.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You need to make big personal decisions without getting flustered.

It may not be as difficult as you imagine, although you may need to do some extra research to discover the right course of action.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Expand your circle of friends. Stimulate your curiosity by visiting different locations. Make the most of an opportunity to explore interesting people, places and pastimes.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Someone may feel left out if you are too busy with work. Take time to listen and offer suggestions. Equitably dividing your time between work and home will lead to success.

destructive. The film boasts handsome CGI animation, not just in the creature department, but in the plentiful scenes of mayhem, which involve train derailments, collapsing cranes and cooling towers, as well as picturesque havoc on the Golden Gate Bridge.

This Godzilla is ready for his close-up, and he looks pretty great in Imax 3-D. The plot, such as it involves humans, centers mainly on Ford, a hero whose attention keeps getting diverted from his wife, Elle (Elizabeth Olsen), to his father to his kid (Carson Bolde) to the MUTOs to Godzilla and back to Elle again. Though credited solely to writer Max Borenstein (“Swordswallowers and Thin Men”), The “Godzilla” screenplay derives from a story tweaked and retweaked by four other writers, including Frank Darabont (“The Shawshank Redemption”).

If anything, it suffers from a form of ADHD. To be sure, “Godzilla” is cheesy, cliched and shallow.

Though it exploits our fears of environmental calamity, it gives short shrift to any deeper message. As Watanabe’s scientist character opines, sagaciously, before resuming his expression of concerned dismay, “The arrogance of man is thinking nature is in our control, and not the other way around.”

That’s a thought about as deep as Godzilla swims, when he’s cruising, sharklike, through the ocean, his dorsal spikes rising ominously out of the water.

Like the movie, they’re primitive but effective weapons.
