Mojoes faces another overcrowding charge

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mojoes of Joliet is being charged with overcrowding again.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk, also the city’s liquor commissioner, said Wednesday his office will bring charges against Mojoes for an incident over the weekend.

Shots were fired, although no one was hit, about 12:30 a.m. Sunday during a brawl outside of the downtown club.

“There were police there,” O’Dekirk said. “The consensus was that it was well over 500 people.”

Capacity at the club is 500.

O’Dekirk last week suspended Mojoes’ liquor license for three days because of an April overcrowding incident in which a police officer and

fire official showed up to stop more people from entering the club. The suspension will be in effect from June 14 to 17.

Tickets were pre-sold for the April 11 show as well as at the door. People who bought tickets in advance could not get in and were refunded money. The club may have been rented out for the recent event.

“It’s my understanding that they subletted the property to a third party,” O’Dekirk said.

He also said there is a written agreement for the event “that indicated that Mojoes could hold a thousand people.”

Mojoes owner Chris Triebes could not be reached Wednesday for comment.

Triebes last week said he wanted to expand the existing facility or move to a new location that could hold a thousand people.

O’Dekirk said last week that the city would help Mojoes pursue a larger facility.

“In the meantime,” he said Wednesday, “you can’t put people at risk like that.”

A Liquor Commission hearing on the new charges will take place next week.

During next week’s hearing, Mojoes also will face charges of letting an event attended by minors run past 10:30 p.m. and for creating a nuisance, O’Dekirk said.

An attorney for Mojoes said Wednesday that he had not seen the charges and could not comment.

In the April incident, Mojoes also was charged with serving alcohol in an area where minors were present.

City officials, however, said police did not see minors being served.

Judge: Prosecutors can link Lockport tiger cases

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Prosecutors can reference both times a tiger was brought into a Lockport bar when a wildlife exhibitor is tried for reckless conduct.

Judge Ray Nash ruled Wednesday it will be up to a jury to decide if John Basile knew his Siberian tiger bit a woman in December 2013 at Uncle Richie’s Bar in Lockport when he returned with the animal in February 2014. “[Both sides] agree he was present ... so I suppose it’s a matter for the trier of fact,” Nash told Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Chris Regis and defense attorney Jennifer Kearney. “[Evidence] will be allowed, but [we’ll see] what weight we give it.”

Basile, who operates the Big Run Wolf Ranch, has acknowledged bringing tiger

Shere Khan into the bar at 112 E. Ninth St., on Feb. 16, 2014.

The tiger cub was weeks old at the time and weighed less than 40 pounds.

Basile, who had a federal license to exhibit dangerous animals, said he was in the tavern to promote a “Wildfest” event at the ranch and had two handlers with him when he brought the animal inside.

Basile was walking the tiger on a leash to another bar when a passing Lockport police officer noticed the commotion from passing drivers as the animal went down Ninth Street. Basile was charged with reckless conduct.

In January 2015, Basile also was charged with reckless conduct for the December 2013 visit where Shere Khan reportedly bit a woman’s hand.

“That incident wasn’t re-

ported until after the second.

There was no police report. No bite report. The USDA wasn’t notified,” Kearney said. “I would think if someone was bit by a tiger they would’ve told someone.”

Kearney said the two cases are separate incidents and linking the two was prejudicial to Basile’s case.

But Regis said evidence from the December incident is admissible under case law on recklessness.

“It is admissible to show the defendant’s prior knowledge ... of a dangerous condition by disregarding the substantial risk,” Regis said.

“Is it the same tiger?” Nash asked Regis before making his ruling. The case is set for trial in July.

Basile said Wednesday that Shere Khan now weighs about 380 pounds and “is doing very well ... completely healthy.”

HITTING THE ROAD

Study urges travel caution

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – With cookouts and swimming pool openings right around the corner, safety might be one of the last things on the minds of the estimated 33 million Americans expected to hit the road this Memorial Day holiday weekend.

But the reality is more people will share the roadway – increasing the chances for traffic fatalities and injury.

AAA Chicago is predicting about 1.7 million Illinoisans will travel by car this weekend – representing a 5.3 percent increase from 2014. Nationwide, 37.2 million people are expected to travel via car or plane, a 4.7 percent increase from the 35.5

million people who traveled last year and the highest travel volume for the holiday in 10 years, according to AAA. More than 380 people in the U.S. could be killed in traffic accidents during the Memorial Day holiday weekend, according to a recent analysis from the National Safety Council.

The NSC defines the holiday weekend as the periods from 6 p.m. Friday to 11:59 p.m. Monday.

Fatalities on Illinois roadways

In Will County, the Illinois Department of Transportation has recorded 23 traffic fatalities so far in 2015. The county ranks second statewide behind Cook County’s 75 deaths. Despite

larger populations, DuPage and Lake counties have experienced only seven and nine deaths, respectively.

So far in 2015, fatal crashes in Illinois also are up compared to 2014. As of Wednesday, 307 people have died in traffic crashes on Illinois roadways, according to preliminary data posted on IDOT’s website.

That’s 21 deaths more compared to the same time in 2014.

The National Safety Council estimates 383 traffic fatalities and another 46,300 medically consulted injuries from vehicle collisions may occur during the traditional summer kick-off weekend.

Safety checkpoints

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said the department is partnering with local law enforcement, state police, and transportation officials to

crack down on motorists driving under the influence and those who fail to wear seat belts in the front and back seats.

The seat belt enforcement is part of a statewide annual “Click It or Ticket” campaign designed to raise awareness of the state law requiring seat belt use.

Benton said the department’s traffic division will conduct roadside safety checks in all areas of the city during the weekend.

The Will County Sheriff’s Office will conduct a roadside safety check on Sunday from 9 to 11 p.m. at Frankfort Square Road and St. Francis Road in Frankfort, spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said.

Benton said his main concern during the holiday weekend is traveler safety.

JOLIET – Ed Levandowski was filling up at a BP station on Jefferson Street where gas was still $2.79 a gallon Wednesday afternoon.

“We know it’s cheaper in Joliet, so we thought we’d fill up while we’re here,” said Levandowski, who lives in Lemont.

Just a few hours earlier, he saw an example of how fast gas prices can rise. He passed a station in southwestern Cook County, where the price was $2.65 a gallon at 8:15 a.m. He drove by again two hours later to see the price at $2.99.

“On a big travel holiday, prices usually go up,” Levandowski said.

In Joliet, too, gas prices were rising with the Memorial Day weekend approaching.

“I don’t like what I’m seeing,” said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy.com.

DeHaan said about two dozen Joliet-area gas stations had raised prices to $2.99 a gallon by Wednesday morning. Another four had already topped $3.

However, there is good news.

DeHaan said the price increase is not likely to last. He expects prices to drop back below $3 a gallon and stay there through the summer.

“It should be the cheapest summer for driving since 2009,” he said.

It’s already a lot cheaper than last Memorial Day. AAA Travel earlier this month said the Illinois average price for gasoline was down from $3.63 a gallon in May 2014.

PAYING TRIBUTE

Grundy Law Enforcement Managers Association holds annual memorial

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com

CHANNAHON – As his young son’s playful voice echoed through the gymnasium, Ken Allen spoke about his own father, who died when he was just 3.

“My memories are so short,” an emotional Allen said to the crowd gathered Wednesday morning at Minooka Community High School South Campus in Channahon.

“It is difficult to know if something is real or made up.”

Allen explained to those in attendance at the Grundy County Law Enforcement Managers Association’s annual memorial service that his son isn’t much younger than Allen was when the boy’s grandfather, Morris firefighter James Allen, died fighting a fire 30 years ago. The annual service honors fallen police

and firefighters.

“I’ve struggled with ‘why’ for years,” Allen said. “Today gives me memories that allow me to create one of my father as a real hero.”

James Allen was 6 feet 6 inches tall, his son said, and was noticed when he walked in a room not just for his height, but also for his personality. He volunteered as a firefighter to protect his community.

Keynote speaker Channahon Police Chief Steve Admonis addressed Allen’s feelings and encouraged him to keep expressing those feelings.

“Emotions are good,” Admonis said to Allen and the loved ones of others being honored. “They show true love.

Never cover them up.”

Morris Police Department Deputy Chief John Severson spoke in memory of patrolman Clarence Roseland, who was shot and killed Feb. 3, 1935,

when he interrupted a kidnapping and robbery in progress.

Roseland’s great-grandchildren, Adam and Emma Roseland, sung the national anthem and “God Bless America” at the event.

Roseland’s grandson, Keith Roseland, said his father Wayne, who died last year, would have loved to see the portion of Route 47 dedicated to Clarence Roseland as he drove past it to work every day.

The other fallen Morris officer also honored with a road dedication at the memorial Wednesday was Marshal Enoch Hopkins, who was shot and killed Sept. 14, 1878, while attempting to arrest two drunk and disorderly men.

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite honored Hopkins, saying he created the model of a Morris police officer.

“He was a great and honorable man,” Dite said.

Firefighters salute during the service Wednesday.

At the time, Hopkins’ funeral was the highest attended in Morris history.

“The words ‘thank you’ will never be enough,” Dite said.

A portion of Route 47 will soon be dedicated to fallen firefighter Allen.

Also honored was Channahon firefighter Kenneth Frayne, who died in a multi-agency rescue drill in October 2011. Channahon Fire Protection District Chief John Petrakis spoke in memory of Frayne.

Admonis said to the crowd, full of agencies across Grundy County, that few are meant to do law enforcement. Just like

the military, he said, they are warriors in their communities.

He thought of a conversation he had with a colleague, about the burden that comes with seeing things in the line of duty that people aren’t supposed to see.

“Some things are kept inside and never spoke of,” Admonis said.

Admonis encouraged those in law enforcement to not be deterred by negative media attention of the actions of some police officers.

“Less than 1 percent of us get in trouble,” Admonis said.

“The rest of us play by the rules.”

USF hosts conference on undocumented youth More online

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Roberto Gonzalez advocated Wednesday for examining and resolving road blocks faced by undocumented youths – not just high achievers – to address what he says is the biggest civil rights issue today.

Gonzalez, a Harvard University professor, spoke at the inaugural “Sharing the Dream” conference at the University of St. Francis, where he shared his insights on the problems afflicting undocumented children.

The all-day conference focused on undocumented students and invited educators, legal experts and advocates from across Illinois.

Gonzalez said there are 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. Of those, about 2.5 million have been in the nation since childhood.

They face economic, social and mental health challenges.

“This is perhaps the biggest civil rights issue of our time,”

“In Chicago, the issue of undocumented students is common language,” Ruiz said.

“Out here, it’s not common language, so we have to make it common language.”

During Gonzalez’s speech, he said the 2001 DREAM Act and the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals policy have “moved the needle” on the needs of undocumented people.

However, focusing on those unable to enter college or earn jobs obscures the reality of the lives of undocumented youths, he said.

“If we’re only looking at these higher-level issues for higher achievers, we’re missing the vast majority of the community and their needs,” he said after the speech.

Those realities include children growing up in low-income households, living with parents who are undocumented

and seeing peers overcome barriers they cannot surmount.

When undocumented children transition to adulthood, they “awaken to a nightmare,” he said.

“They find themselves stuck and on the outside looking in,” he said.

Undocumented youths find themselves unable to access the same opportunities as their friends and endure isolation because of their status or issues in their families, he said.

Their school experience is also negative and as they age, they have little trust in adults and experience daily contact with legal limitations.

Gonzalez recommended training programs for school staff and faculty on awareness and support for undocumented youths. He also recommended resource centers, liaisons and the creation of visible networks of mentors, teachers and others for undocumented youths.

Bolingbrook murder suspect posts bond

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Bolingbrook woman accused of murdering her husband was already out on bond Wednesday when she appeared in court seeking a bond reduction.

After being behind bars for a month, Michele A. Evans, 50, paid the required 10 percent of her $1 million bond and was released from the Will County jail shortly before 3 p.m. Monday, according to jail records.

Investigators allege Michele Evans stabbed David Evans, 55, with a kitchen knife April 16 after an argument at their home in the 500 block of Bloomfield Drive in Bolingbrook. David Evans died the following day, and Michele Evans was charged with two counts of murder.

Defense attorney Joel Brodsky told Judge Dave Carlson he received some evidence and reports for review,

but “grand jury, autopsy reports, crime scene photos and evidence tech reports are still needed.” Evans will claim she killed her husband in self-defense, according to Brodsky.

While his client made bail, Brodsky asked Carlson to consider lowering the bond so there could be a partial refund. Brodsky said Evans put up $63,700 cash and $36,300 in credit card charges to pay the $100,000 required for her release.

Brodsky said Michele it will help his Evans client avoid the credit cards’ high interest charges.

“I’m of the opinion if you can make bond it’s not excessive, but if financial issues come up later, we can address them,” Carlson said before Brodsky withdrew the motion.

JOLIET – Lunch fees will be going up 10 cents per student at Troy School District 30-C schools after the school board approved the increase Wednesday night.

The fees are rising from $2.45 to $2.55 a student starting next school year, Superintendent Todd Koehl said. The price of milk will rise from 35 cents to 40 cents.

Students have the option of bringing their own lunch, or purchasing lunch through the school. Household income-eligible students also can receive free or reduced price lunches.

Superintendent Todd Koehl said the fee increase is part of a gradual increase to get school lunch prices in line with the $2.70 meals that are reimbursed by the federal government as part of the National School Lunch Program.

“The federal government told us we need to continue to lower the gap between what the federal government pays and what the kids pay,” Koehl said, adding that through small increments, the federal government is allowing Troy and other school districts to catch up.

The National School Lunch

Program allows eligible students to receive a free or reduced price lunch.

Eligible students for reduced price meals must have household incomes of at most 1.85 times the federal poverty guideline income, which is dependent on the number of people in the household, according to the federal Food and Nutrition Service.

Eligible free meal recipients have household incomes of at most 1.3 times the poverty line.

Survey

Design Perspectives’ study found the district’s population stood at 106,448 residents. The number of district households was 31,767, the average household size was 3.35 people, median age was 32.7 years old and the median household income was $95,952.

While population growth exploded between 2000 and 2010, it slowed dramatically starting in 2010. The projected largest drop in population served by the district was among residents in the 35 to 44 age range.

The population of residents more than 55 years old is expected to slowly grow.

The survey shows 73 percent of participants rated the park district’s programs as a quality experience. There has been a 22 percent increase in program use in the past five years, and the top three program categories are youth recreation, youth sports and preschool.

Most residents, 85 percent,

receive their information about the park district through its program guide. The next popular source is the park district’s website, at 37 percent.

Both have increased since 2009, while all other information sources decreased.

Stanton said that while the park district has great community parks, its neighborhood parks are not doing well.

The neighborhood parks, with a visitation rate of less than 5 percent, have an overall lack of interesting park elements and are based on a redundant, standard model, according to the study.

Stanton also said the survey found there is a desire for an indoor recreational facility, expanded services at the Ottawa Street Pool or a new pool, and new program options that service projected population demographics.

Also, the survey found 60 percent of residents supported a modest tax increase for trails, parks and facilities, suggesting a future referendum could be a

Shaw Media correspondent MANHATTAN—The village of Manhattan is seeing a regrowth of residential construction and is gaining the interest of potential new businesses, according to Mayor James Doyle.

Doyle said the village is on-track to see up to 70 new homes constructed yearly – less than during the boom years that saw subdivision after subdivision started in Manhattan, but more than in recent years.

Businesses also are considering Manhattan, Doyle reported during Tuesday’s regular Village Board meeting. Doyle said he recently toured the town with two people interested in bringing restaurants to Manhattan.

“We’re trying to bring

them into town,” he said.

Trustee Thomas Biscan suggested Manhattan is on the right track in marketing the town, adding a citizen’s committee might help. The village also is interviewing consultants to bring business into town, Doyle said.

Village Administrator Kevin Sing reported he and Trustee Tom Doyle are continuing to work on bringing a Farmer’s Market to the Wabash Street parking lot this summer. At least one grower has expressed interest in coming and the board expressed consensus to move forward.

Trustee Michael Naughton suggested the concept become broader, “a little more wide open,” with foods, crafts and other items.

“It gives people in town other markets and opportuni-

ties,” he said.

Following the meeting, Doyle said the village’s population is growing, with about 7,500 residents representing a mix of young families and older residents.

“It’s going to be steady, slow growth,” he said.

Potential commercial investors say they see a good community where people support each other.

“The people that live here are pretty decent people.

They’re really hard working people,” he added.

Also, a recent listing put Manhattan as the ninth safest small Illinois communities, Doyle said.

The new Manhattan Township facility being developed in the center of town also is “good for the downtown,” he said. “It will actually bring more people downtown.”

Diet, exercise not only weight loss tools SPONSORED BY

By Gina Kraman “Losing weight needs much more than only diet and exercise,” says Dr. Frank Ostir, Ostir Physical Medicine in Joliet. He believes weight loss is best conquered using a variety of customized tools.

The goal is to combat obesity, which the American Medical Association defines as a disease, since being overweight is linked to developing diabetes, heart and kidney diseases, cancer, and other health problems.

The National Institute of Health (NIH) says that 75 percent of adults are considered overweight, obese, or extremely obese. According to the NIH, “There’s no single cause of all overweight and obesity cases. There’s no single approach that can prevent or treat overweight and obesity. Treatment may include a mix of behavior treatment, diet, exercise, and sometimes weight-loss drugs.”

Ostir agrees, adding that like other medical conditions and diseases requiring serious treatment, obesity needs a

formal program for success.

He has linked his rehabilitation and pain management practice with the Synergy Medical Weight Loss Program to help patients lose weight with medical intervention and weekly supervision. Doctors and nutritionists developed Synergy with guidelines from the American Society of Bariatric Physicians and the NIH. But does it work? According to Ostir, patients have lost weight through personalized advice and weekly supervision.

“Losing weight can be overwhelming without guidance. This program is unique because it’s customized for every patient. We start with a physical exam and blood work.

Then we work with the patient to determine health goals,” he explains. “We use FDA-approved appetite suppressants and lipotrophic B-12 vitamin and amino acid injections.

Plus we counsel patients on food choices, portion control, behavior modification, and physical activity.”

Teenagers and athletes have also followed Synergy to meet their weight loss goals.

PLAINFIELD – Almost three-fourths of residents polled are satisfied with the Plainfield Township Park District’s services.

But unless the park district changes its strategy, more residents will opt to use facilities with other park districts and private fitness clubs, according to a report by consultant Design Perspectives LLC. Last week Todd Stanton, a representative for Design Perspectives, presented the results of research conducted by the consultant, hired to help with the park district’s comprehensive planning process.

Survey results called for the new comprehensive plan to include elements, such as a new indoor recreation facility, plans to make neighborhood parks more appealing through creating unique identities and expansion of recreation services, including a new pool and more senior programming.

“You have to stay relevant in a changing recreational

landscape for changing demographics,” Stanton said.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – A Joliet man has been ticketed for a crash that killed a New Lenox man Friday.

Jorge I. Contreras, 20, was charged with improper lane use, according to state police.

According to reports, at 5:37 p.m. Contreras was driving a 2008 Buick Enclave west on Route 30 when he crossed into the eastbound lanes near Hillcrest Road and struck a 2002 Ford pickup head-on.

The driver of the pickup, Glenn E. Trost, 82, was pronounced dead at the scene at

6:45 p.m. by the Will County Coroner’s Office.

Trost’s obituary noted he was a Korean War veteran who worked at Material Service in Lockport for 44 years. He is survived by his wife, Kathryn, four children and nine grandchildren.

Contreras and his two passengers were hospitalized with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.

According to court records, Contreras pleaded guilty to unauthorized possession of a firearm and received probation in exchange for having residential burglary charges dismissed in a March 2012 incident.

POLICE REPORTS Note to readers: Information in Police Reports is obtained from local police departments and the Will County Sheriff’s Office. Individuals listed in Police Reports who have been charged with a crime have not been proven guilty in court.

• Kathryn R. Gourley, 29, of the 100

The company also noted the location is near railroad intermodal operations that will facilitate the movement of goods shipped to coastal ports from Asia and Europe.

The project also is one of several trucking operations being developed on the south end of Joliet.

The Zoning Board and Plan Commission also will consider a plan from Cadence Premier Logistics, which wants to build a truck stop and truck maintenance facility along with new corporate offices and a distribution center in the Laraway Crossings Business Park.

An unnamed e-commerce company has proposed a facility with 800 parking spaces for employees in Laraway Crossings.

The Zoning Board will meet at 2 p.m., and the Plan Commission will meet at 4 p.m. Both will meet in the council chambers in City Hall, 150 W. Jefferson St.

JOLIET – Ikea confirmed Wednesday it plans to build a second 1.4 million-square-foot distribution center in Joliet.

The plans are set to be considered Thursday by both the Joliet Zoning Board of Appeals and the Plan Commission at separate meetings.

Ikea plans twin buildings next to each other in the Laraway Crossings Business Park, located at Illinois Route 53 and Laraway Road.

Ikea for weeks has acknowledged it was considering a second building.

Each building would include center storage towers 115 feet high, or the equivalent of 12 stories, surrounded by lower storage areas.

The first building is scheduled to open in summer 2017.

Ikea spokesman Joseph Roth said there is no construction timetable yet for the second building. He also said Ikea has not yet bought the 62-acre

site, but is in negotiations to buy the land.

“It was too good to pass up,” Roth said. “We want to buy it, and we want to build an accompanying twin building.”

Ikea representatives discussed the plans for a second building this month in a meeting with neighbors from the Sugar Creek community. At the time, they said the company had not yet decided to move forward with the project.

In February, Ikea announced it would build the first distribution center, which is on a 72-acre site. Ikea had bought that land in 2008, announcing it would build a distribution center. But the project was put on hold.

Ikea said in a statement Wednesday that the distribution hub would serve stores throughout the Midwest.

“We are pleased to consolidate our long-term Midwestern distribution operations at what will be our Midwestern hub in Joliet, and appreciate the city’s support for this project,” Ikea

A high note Joliet West student becomes state musical award finalist

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Alexis Smith starred in musicals since she was a child and her journey in the world of singing, dancing and acting has led her to become a finalist for a state-level musical theater award.

Smith, a Joliet West High School junior student, was chosen to become one of 24 finalists for the Illinois High School Musical Theater Awards.

The awards celebrate outstanding student achievement in high school musical theater, recognizing artistry in vocal, dance and acting performance, according to Broadway In Chicago. The awards also honor educators’ commitment to performing arts education excellence.

Smith said she was surprised, especially with more than 600 applicants who applied.

“I thought I was crazy to be one of those to get one,” she said.

Smith said musicals have been part of her life since she was 6 and she “grew up in a theater.” She followed that

path into high school, where she auditioned for shows.

Her biggest role as a sophomore was Marian in “The Music Man.” This school year, she starred as Cinderella in “Into The Woods.”

She spent months preparing for that role and had rehearsals every day after school, she said. As with other roles, she also does character analysis.

“It was a tough show and we worked a lot on music and rhythm and developing a character and how they would progress through the show,” she said.

Tim DeBoer, Joliet West vocal music director, said he was proud of Smith for her recognition.

“She’s a fantastic actress,” he said “Being a lead as both a sophomore and junior is out of the ordinary, but she’s a pretty out-of-the-ordinary person.”

DeBoer said this was the first year he was aware of the Illinois High School Musical Theater Awards and the first year a Joliet West student entered the contest.

On June 1, Smith will join 24 finalists – 12 actors and actresses each – who will attend

Ongoing case

Monson was the superintendent of the old VAC from 1999 to 2011, when the commission

Legislature did not “intend or foresee the petty behavior at issue here. There can be no doubt that this litigation, resulting originally from an ego-driven power grab, has resulted in nothing more than the wasting of funds intended to help veterans.”

“To be clear, the necessity for this litigation arose from VAC 1 and Monson’s ‘my way or the highway,’ statutorily unauthorized manner of dealing with member veterans’ groups,” the appellate opinion states.

Rathbun said the new VAC is asking for a rehearing.

The opinion also stated Monson will have to pay back the county for his attorney.

Geiger was appointed by the trial court as a special assistant state’s attorney, so the county paid his costs. The appellate court vacated the appointment.

MORRIS – If an appellate court opinion stands, Grundy County may have gone from having two Veterans Assistance Commissions to having no legitimate VAC. The Third District Appellate Court released an opinion last month stating neither the old VAC, run by Elton Monson, nor the new VAC, run by Ken Buck, are valid since neither has a delegate and an alternate representative from every veterans group in Grundy County.

The court opinion states representation of all the veterans groups is mandated by the Veterans Act. “We are filing a petition for review,” Tim Rathbun, attorney for the new VAC with Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol of Joliet, said Tuesday. “It could take every VAC in the state out of business if read literally. We hope they will rewrite at least this part.”

The new VAC will continue as the county’s official VAC for now.

“It runs until a document comes from the last court,” Rathbun said.

Brett Geiger, of Malmquist & Geiger in Morris and the attorney for the old VAC, declined Wednesday to comment.

terminated him and two other employees. The move was later supported by the Grundy County Board.

The new VAC and Buck were later recognized by the board. The group has eight of 11 veterans groups active in Grundy County in it, according to court documents.

The quarrel between the veterans started when six local veterans’ organizations were allegedly not allowed a vote with the old VAC. At their request, the County Board took action for reorganization.

Monson has continued to fight that decision, asking the courts to refute the County Board’s action, stating it did not have the authority to recognize an entirely new VAC. The local courts ruled the county did, but would not rule on the existence of the old VAC. Monson also has a lawsuit against the county and 14 other parties for wrongful termination.

But the appellate court has stated neither VAC really exists without the support of all the county’s veterans groups.

The court found the old VAC dismantled itself by refusing to seat some delegates chosen by the veterans’ groups. But since the new VAC also doesn’t have a representative from each group, it also doesn’t technically exist.

The opinion also states the Veterans Act does not require a VAC in order for veterans’ organizations to receive county funding. It noted the Illinois

Q Place children in age-appropriate safety seats.

Q Designate a sober driver or take alternate transportation if you consume alcohol. Do not get behind the wheel. Impairment begins with the first drink.

Q Drive defensively and exercise caution, especially during bad weather

Q Drivers are reminded to slow down in construction work zones, obey distracted driving laws and take breaks to avoid tired driving.

Q During construction season, drivers should be prepared for sudden stops, changing traffic patterns, rough surfaces, uneven pavement and slower speeds when entering a work zone.

• HOLIDAY TRAVEL

Continued from page 3 “Obey the rules of the road, pay attention to others. You may not be the one distracted, but someone else might be. Use defensive driving,” Benton said.

‘Drop it and drive’

In addition to DUI and seat belt compliance checkpoints, Benton said officers plan to enforce the state law banning hand-held cellphone use while driving.

“We’re looking primarily for safety seat enforcement, driving under the influence, but if they come across someone texting, we’ll cite them,”

gas prices to reach $3.63 this summer.

A recent climb in prices is due in part to an unexpected issue at the ExxonMobil refinery in Joliet, which have slowed production, he said.

“I think this is a temporary increase,” DeHaan said. “I think the escalated prices will last one or two weeks.”

The reformulated gasoline used in Joliet and other parts of the Chicago area has contributed to the recent increase in prices, he said.

The ExxonMobil refinery is one of the few refineries that makes the gasoline reformulated to meet EPA requirements. So when production is down, gasoline becomes tougher to find.

Expert panel criticizes medical care at prisons “No one sentenced these guys to suffer and die of inadequate health care.”

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press CHICAGO – A scathing new report by court-approved researchers paints a bleak picture of medical care in Illinois prisons, describing treatment delays, haphazard follow-up care, chaotic record keeping and a litany of other problems that may have cut short the lives of some inmates.

The 405-page report, which the Illinois Department of Corrections immediately disputed, was filed late Tuesday night in U.S. District Court in Chicago in a class-action civil suit against the agency that oversees 49,000 inmates statewide. The report concludes that “Illinois has been unable to meet minimal constitutional standards with regards to the adequacy of its health care program.”

Within minutes of the filing, the agency issued a statement saying the report “uses a broad brush to paint an incomplete picture of the comprehensive medical system in place.”

It said authors were wrong to draw sweeping conclusions after visiting just eight of 25 Illinois prison facilities.

The experts, who had access to thousands of prison records, also scrutinized a sample of 63 Illinois prisoner deaths from illnesses and found “significant lapses” in care in 60 percent of those cases, calling that rate “unacceptably high.”

This July 25, 2011, file photo, shows the Hill Correctional Center in Galesburg.

The report cites many individual cases, including that of Edward Thomas.

Thomas was convicted of first-degree murder for throwing 20-year-old Kevin Tremble head first down a Chicago elevator shaft in an apparent gang-related dispute, according to filings in his criminal case. Even though Thomas pleaded for help as he began coughing up blood, the report said it took six months for doctors at the Hill Correctional Center in Galesburg to locate a softball-size cancerous

tumor clinging to his neck area and lung. But it was too late. Thomas, at 48, died four months later on Jan. 30, 2013.

“The blatant disregard for this patient’s obvious symptoms ... is stunning,” the report said. “Despite the patient’s repeated earnest cries for help, including several instances wherein he was essentially stating, ‘I think I have cancer,’ his symptoms were brushed off ... until ... this dying man could no longer be ignored.”

During his sentencing in 1984, a Cook County judge said

Thomas had displayed “exceptionally brutal or heinous behavior indicative of wanton cruelty” and handed him an 80-year prison term.

But inmates, even those imprisoned for murder, are entitled to better care, said Benjamin Wolf, a plaintiffs’ attorney and chief legal counsel of the ACLU of Illinois, which joined the lawsuit in 2013.

“The measure of justice of a society is how it treats its most vulnerable, including prisoners,” Wolf said. “No one sentenced these guys to suffer and

die of inadequate health care.”

The report includes Thomas’ prison, age and the date of his death, but not his name.

Knox County Coroner Mark Thomas, who performed the autopsy on Thomas, confirmed to The Associated Press he was the inmate who died of lung cancer on Jan. 30, 2013 at the Galesburg prison.

Thomas was the only inmate who died that day.

Inmate Don Lippert, a diabetic, brought the civil suit in 2010. His complaint contends that “deliberate indifference” about inmates’ medical care violates Eighth Amendment prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment.

Plaintiffs argued part of the blame lies with Wexford Health Services Inc., one of the defendants. Illinois in 2011 awarded it a ten-year, $1.3 billion contract to provide health care to Illinois’ inmates, Wexford’s website stated.

The complaint said Illinois pays Wexford a per-prisoner fee and “thus has an economic incentive to provide minimal care.” Wexford has denied that in earlier filings.

Court tosses out Peoria man’s sexual assault conviction The ASSOCIATED PRESS PEORIA – An Illinois appeals court has thrown out a South Peoria man’s 2012 conviction on charges he sexually assaulted a 20-month-old girl.

The Journal Star reported Judge Mary K. O’Brien said there was a lack of sufficient evidence against 61-yearold Steven Cole. The ruling throws out Cole’s conviction and 25-year prison sentence.

“Other than the fact that [the child] was undisputedly at the Coles’ house, the State did not present evidence linking Steven to the offense any more than the other adults who had access to [the child] in the injury time frame,” O’Brien wrote in the opinion.

The toddler had showed signs of sexual abuse in 2009, after spending time at the Coles’ home. The child’s mother noticed blood in the

infant’s diaper the next day and took her to the hospital.

Doctors discovered evidence of sexual assault and semen in the diaper.

In her opinion, O’Brien argued the state never countered Cole’s defense. At trial, a medical expert argued the sperm cell found in the diaper couldn’t have been Cole’s because he’d previously had a vasectomy more than a decade before the event.

Peoria County State’s Attorney Jerry Brady argued that transcripts did show the medical expert did admit it was possible the sperm cell came from Cole.

Brady maintains the police work behind Cole’s case was sound and the charges came as a result of what police thought at the time – that Cole was behind the assault and his wife was withholding information. Janet Cole later

pleaded guilty to misdemeanor attempted obstruction of justice.

“The trial court doesn’t have access to the total breadth of the investigation,” Brady said on Tuesday, referring to police reports, which often are not admitted as evidence at trial.

Brady said his office wasn’t considering, at the time, an appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court.

House advances plan to change Cook County pensions

SPRINGFIELD – A group of freshmen Republican legislators is pushing for term limits, saying gridlock in the Illinois Legislature is a sign the status quo isn’t working.

The lawmakers held a news conference Wednesday to rail on the “entrenched leadership” in Springfield.

Rep. Steve Andersson of Geneva is one of three GOP legislators who’ve introduced legislation to limit the amount of time legislators and statewide officials may serve. He said “the time is now” to debate the issue, but Democrats who control the Legislature won’t allow it.

Critics of term limits said voters should decide when a lawmaker’s time in office is up. They said limiting lawmakers can mean losing valuable experience and expertise.

None of the 11 lawmakers at the news conference said they’re voluntarily limiting their own time in office.

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers are again considering a plan to overhaul Cook County’s pension system that could trim some workers’ benefits, despite a recent Illinois Supreme Court ruling striking down a statewide pension overhaul.

It’s a plan that could serve as a litmus test for the statewide pension overhaul that lawmakers are tasked with crafting, although some critics warn that if another plan ends up before the courts, it could limit the state’s pension options in the future.

A House committee approved the measure Wednesday by a 5-4 vote along party lines, which would call for a roughly $147 million increase in the county’s annual contribution to the pension fund next year. It now heads to the full chamber for consideration.

The proposal calls for increasing the retirement age and boosting county employees’ contributions to their pension plans. But also it guarantees compounded costof-living adjustments and health care benefits for workers when they retire, which are components supporters said could comply with a section of the state constitution that says promised benefits shall not be “diminished” or “impaired.”

groups said service taxes could generate up to $2.1 billion in new annual revenue.

Democrat Sen. Toi Hutchinson said she believes there is bipartisan support for updating the sales tax.

Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner also has discussed the possibility of taxing some services. However, it’s unclear if it would be

included in a deal between lawmakers and Rauner to bridge a $6 billion gap in the 2016 budget.

Illinois millionaire tax ballot question advances in House

SPRINGFIELD – A House committee has approved a plan to ask voters whether Illinois should impose a tax on incomes of

more than $1 million to help fund education.

The legislation passed Wednesday 8-5. It now moves to the full Illinois House.

Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan is renewing an effort to amend the state constitution to add a 3 percent surcharge to incomes of more than $1 million.

Naperville man gets 43 years for teacher’s stabbing death

WHEATON – A DuPage County judge has sentenced a Naperville man to 43 years in prison for the 2012 fatal stabbing of a suburban Chicago teacher at a bar.

Judge Kathryn Creswell announced the sentence for 31-year-old Daniel J. Olaska on Wednesday morning. He was found guilty in March in the death of 24-year-old Shaun Wild, who was in his first year as a second-grade teacher at Spring Brook Elementary School in Naperville when he died.

The stabbing happened Feb. 4, 2012, at Frankie’s Blue Room in downtown Naperville. Prosecutors said Olaska stabbed Wild when Wild tried to grab Olaska after Olaska stabbed a third man.

Defense attorney Ernie DiBenedetto said Olaska feels bad about what happened and is disappointed in the result.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Capitol cops get training after guns left in toilet

WASHINGTON – Capitol Police officers are getting training after officers accidentally left their guns in the Capitol’s public bathrooms three times this year.

One gun was found by a child.

“We are now providing additional training on what to do when you have to go to the bathroom,” Capitol Police Chief Kim C. Dine told Congress on Wednesday.

Dine said there is no excuse for officers accidentally leaving their guns in public bathrooms.

He said the officers were being disciplined, but he did not name them. A first-time offender typically would be suspended for at least five days, he said.

Dine said he is considering increasing the minimum penalty to a 30-day suspension for a first offense, and termination for a subsequent violation.

Calif. farmer water cuts decision to apply broadly

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – A group of California farmers, in a surprising turnaround, is volunteering to give up a fourth of its available water this year, sharing a resource all but guaranteed to the farmers for more than a century.

A senior water official told The Associated Press on Wednesday he would decide by Friday whether to accept the offer. The concession by farmers in the Sacramento and San Joaquin riv-

er delta could be one of the most important yet forced by California’s record four-year drought.

In exchange for taking 25 percent less river water for irrigation or leaving a quarter of their fields unplanted, the farmers want guarantees the state won’t restrict the remaining 75 percent of the water they’ve had rights to for more than a century, even if the drought deepens and other users go dry.

The offer was made as these and other “senior water rights holders” face an imminent threat of being included in the mandatory cutbacks that apply to most other California water users.

Obama calls climate change a security threat

NEW LONDON, Conn. – President Barack Obama has argued for action on climate change as a matter of health, environmental protection and international obligation. On Wednesday, he added national security.

Those who deny global warming are putting at risk the United States and the military sworn to defend it, he told cadets at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.

Failure to act would be “dereliction of duty,” their commander in chief said.

He said climate change and rising sea levels jeopardize the readiness of U.S. forces and threaten to aggravate social tensions and political instability around the globe.

Actor Bill Murray talks with host David Letterman Tuesday after emerging from a cake to say goodbye on the set of the “Late Show with David Letterman” in New York. Letterman’s final show aired Wednesday.

Letterman signs off after 33 years as late-night host

By DAVID BAUDER The Associated Press NEW YORK – Comedy stars from Steve Martin to Tina Fey and the rock band Foo Fighters ushered David Letterman into retirement Wednesday after 33 years and 6,028 broadcasts of his latenight shows on CBS and NBC. His final “Late Show” broadcast ran long, some 17 minutes over its usual hour, and CBS planned to let the show go without cutting it.

The transplanted Hoosier, who made Top Ten lists and ironic humor staples of television comedy and influenced a generation of performers, will be replaced by Stephen Colbert in September.

Fans and photographers clustered outside the 53rd Street side entrance to Manhattan’s Ed Sullivan Theater on Wednesday afternoon to watch a steady stream of celebrities arriving, including Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Jim Carrey, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Barbara Walters, Peyton Manning and Alec Baldwin

along with Fey and Martin.

Several audience members who filed out of the theater after the show had tears in their eyes.

“It was really incredible,” said Will Landman of Long Island, New York. “It was the best way he could go out.”

Audience members pointed to a star-studded Top Ten list and the Foo Fighters as highlights. As for the host, Letterman “was guarded but you could tell it was really hard for him,” said John Bernstein, who flew in from Los Angeles to see the finale.

“You could see his emotion,” he said. “But I think he’s feeling a lot more than he’s showing.”

His last few weeks have been warmly nostalgic, with Letterman entertaining old friends like Bill Murray, Tom Hanks, George Clooney and Julia Roberts. Anticipating the end, viewers sent Letterman to the top of the latenight ratings the week before last for the first time since Jimmy Fallon took over at NBC’s “Tonight” show and

they competed with original telecasts.

From his start on NBC’s “Late Night” in February 1982, Letterman’s comedy was about more than telling jokes. He attached a camera to a monkey’s back, tossed watermelons off a roof and wore a suit of Alka-Seltzer to plunge into a tank of water. Celebrities used to being fawned over either clicked with his prickly personality or didn’t, and when Cher called him a more profane version of “jerk,” it became a memorable moment.

He shifted to CBS in 1993 when NBC gave the “Tonight” show to Jay Leno instead of Letterman, a slight he never forgot or forgave.

The tricks subsided as Letterman mellowed with age and fatherhood. His audience welcomed him back after a heart bypass, listened as he became the first late-night host back on the air after the 2001 terrorist attacks and saw him acknowledge to inappropriately having sex with a subordinate.

U.S. releases 100-plus bin Laden documents

By CONNIE CASS and ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Documents swept up in the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound portray a leader cut off from his underlings, disappointed by their failures, beset by their complaints and regretting years of separation from much of his extensive family.

Focus your fighting on America, not each other, the sidelined al-Qaida chief exhorts his followers. In a videotaped will, he urges one of his wives, should she remarry after his death, to choose to live beside him in paradise. He also directs her to send their son to the battlefield.

Despite some surprising quirks in the collection, the overall message of the 103 letters, videos and reports made public Wednesday hews to the terror group’s familiar mission: In the name of God, find a way to kill Americans. Kill

Europeans. Kill Jews.

“Uproot the obnoxious tree by concentrating on its American trunk,” bin Laden writes in a letter urging al-Qaida affiliates in North Africa not to be distracted by fighting local security forces and to avoid Muslim infighting.

The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence said the documents, released as online images, were among a collection of books, U.S. think tank reports and other materials recovered in the May 2011 raid that killed bin Laden at his compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan.

The information was declassified and made public after a review by government agencies, as required by a 2014 law. Hundreds more documents found at the compound will be reviewed for possible declassification and release, the office said Wednesday, four years after bin Laden’s death.

The documents, as trans-

Banks fined more than $5B, to plead guilty to market rigging

By KEN SWEET and ERIC TUCKER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Four of the world’s biggest banks agreed Wednesday to pay more than $5 billion in penalties and plead guilty to rigging the currency markets – a rare instance in which federal prosecutors have wrung an admission of criminal wrongdoing from a major financial institution.

Traders at JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup’s banking unit Citicorp, Barclays and the Royal Bank of Scotland were accused of working together to manipulate rates on the foreign exchange market, where hundreds of billions of dollars and euros change hands back and forth.

The penalties are a victory for the government and reflect a broader effort by the Justice Department, long criticized as reluctant to prosecute big banks, to tackle financial misconduct.

In the past 18 months, prosecutors have brought criminal cases against banks accused of tax evasion and sanctions violations, and have reached multibillion-dollar settlements with several others for their roles in the 2008 financial meltdown.

Still, the punishment announced Wednesday may have limited practical consequences.

The four banks will be able to continue to do business in the currency markets. No executives were charged, although that part of the investigation continues. And the fines, while large, are a fraction of what the institutions have made through currency trading over the past decade.

Prosecutors said traders shared customer orders through chat rooms and used that information to profit at their clients’ expenses. The traders called themselves “The Cartel,” and in one of those chat rooms, a Barclays

employee wrote: “if you aint cheating, you aint trying,” investigators said.

The banks will pay a combined $2.5 billion in criminal penalties for manipulation of currency rates between 2007 and 2013. The Federal Reserve is slapping them with an additional $1.6 billion in fines. Finally, Britain’s Barclays is paying an additional $1.3 billion to British and U.S. regulators.

A fifth bank, Switzerland’s UBS – which was scrutinized years earlier in a similar scheme – has agreed to plead guilty to manipulating key interest rates and will pay a separate criminal penalty of $203 million.

“Having to enter into a guilty plea, at the parent level by a major financial institution, is not something that they enter into lightly, nor is it something they enter into with any great joy in their hearts,” Attorney General Loretta Lynch said.

The documents include a fill-in-the-blanks job application for al-Qaida candidates that not only asks typical human resources questions about education and hobbies but also, “Do you wish to execute a suicide operation?” It requests an emergency contact should the applicant become a martyr.

Drone strikes against al-Qaida leaders in Pakistan, the near-suffocation of the group’s affiliate in Iraq beginning in 2007, and other developments severely undercut bin Laden in the years before his death.

The terrorist threat shifted to al-Qaida affiliates in other areas, including in Yemen and North Africa. U.S. officials have said that at the time of bin Laden’s death, al-Qaida no longer exercised the same level of control he once had.

A May 2007 letter to bin Laden from “the Jihad and Reform Front” implores him to disavow “the ongoing catastrophes and disasters” committed by al-Qaida in Iraq, the forerunner of today’s Islamic State group, which strayed from al-Qaida’s orders with its brutal attacks on fellow Muslims.

“If you still can, then this is your last chance to remedy the Jihad breakdown that is about to take place in Iraq,” the letter warns bin Laden.

Oil spill spreads across 9 miles of Pacific, fouls Calif. beaches

By CHRISTOPHER WEBER and BRIAN MELLEY The Associated Press GOLETA, Calif. – An oil spill that fouled beaches and threatened wildlife along a scenic stretch of the California coast spread across 9 miles of ocean Wednesday as cleanup efforts began and federal regulators investigated how the pipeline leaked.

Workers in protective suits raked and shoveled stinky black goo off the beaches, while boats towed booms into place to corral the two slicks off the Santa Barbara coast where a much larger spill in 1969 – the largest in U.S. waters at the time – is credited with giving rise to the American environmental movement.

Up to 105,000 gallons spilled from an onshore pipe, and a fifth of that – 21,000 gallons – reached the sea, according to estimates provided by officials.

Crude was flowing through the pipe at 84,000 gallons an

hour when the leak was detected Tuesday. It took three hours to shut down, although company officials didn’t say how long it leaked before it was discovered or discuss the rate at which oil escaped.

Federal regulators from the Department of Transportation, which oversees oil pipeline safety, investigated the leak’s cause, the pipe’s condition and the potential regulatory violations.

The 24-inch pipe, built in 1991, had no previous problems and was inspected thoroughly in 2012, according to Plains All American Pipeline LP, which owns the pipe.

The pipe underwent similar tests about two weeks ago, although the results had not been analyzed yet.

“Plains is taking responsibility and paying for everything associated with this spill,” said Darren Palmer, a district manager with the company.

There was no estimate on the cost of the cleanup or how long it might take.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Children show they are leaders To the Editor:

As a volunteer tutor for many years of young children, I feel a need to share some of my personal teachings.

This past year, I had two young boys named “Ali” and “Donovan.” Ali is in second grade, and Donovan is in third grade. They helped and respected each other at all of our sessions.

I continually learn from all children. They always tell it as it is. Their total honesty is amazing. I am grateful and humble for the time I have shared with them.

Ali and his family of six are from Pakistan.

They are devout with their prayers and religion.

Ali and his family went back to Pakistan for six weeks around the holidays. Their attitude and kindness for everyone are outstanding. Respect always is shown to everyone. At Thanksgiving, I asked Ali if they had a turkey dinner and a family thanks. The reply I received was “we give thanks every day – not only at Thanksgiving.”

Donovan is a young African-American. He discussed his ancestors and slavery. He is very proud of his past. He has a thirst for learning that is evident each time I tutor him. Donovan understands the sense of his identity comes through knowledge. He is a proud example of our future.

Ali and Donovan have no cultural or color differences. They show me that everyone is equal.

All people matter, past or present. Ignorance is gone. Education always has been the answer.

Ali and Donovan have no code of silence.

My hope is all people have no boundaries with cultural or color differences. These “kids” teach me and others that communities of families do care and help each other. They illustrate transparency and disclosure by emulating their children.

My final question is: Can we adults portray what our children so easily perform every day?

Young people are leaders.

Shirlee J. Pergler Romeoville

New day rising in realizing we are all works in progress FORT WAYNE, Ind. – “I really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least.”

It wasn’t because Barack Obama recently was critiquing religious conservatives that I thought of this quote from Dorothy Day. I had arrived at the University of Saint Francis here for a conference on Dorothy Day and the Catholic Church. The words of Day, the founder of the Catholic Worker Movement, have been in the air constantly.

Meanwhile, at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., President Obama was appearing on a panel at an anti-poverty summit.

At that summit, the president accused religious groups of caring more about issues such as abortion and protection of marriage than poverty.

This is the same president, of course, who chose to pick a fight unnecessarily with the faithful during the Obamacare controversy, forcing them to violate their consciences or

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

face stiff penalties. This is the president who accused Catholic bishops and others of bearing false witness, as he put it, when they opposed the inclusion of abortion coverage in that same health-care law.

And commentators rightly were quick to set the record straight about the enormous good that faith-based groups and churches do in America and the world today.

But, perhaps with Dorothy Day’s quote in mind, I also find myself unable to dismiss Obama’s comments.

Robert Putnam, the Harvard professor who famously wrote “Bowling Alone,” also was a part of the panel, and in the days before it he gave an interview to The Washington Post in which he offered a similar critique, saying, in part: “[The Church has] been entirely focused on issues of homosexuality and contraception and not at all focused on issues of poverty.”

While I would disagree with his characterization here, I had a conversation

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez with him about this a few weeks go, on the day his book “Our Kids” came out. Putnam longs to see a movement to make sure that every child in America has opportunity. He knows we need churches to do much of this work. And, as an outsider and social scientist, he doesn’t see religion as a threat to secular society. If Christian concern for the poor, the persecuted, the mourning and the hungry were impossible to miss in the world today, many of the problems we have would not be what they are.

Now, is this a problem of media perception and selective coverage? Are there obstacles the government and mainstream establishment have put in the way to discourage or even shut down such charity, especially if it does not pass politically cor-

rect tests? Of course. I think, in particular, of victims of sex trafficking who have been made to suffer on account of “reproductive health” politics.

But it also is a fact that Christians have internalized some of the secularization in the air and do not live the radical lives that the Gospels mandate.

One of the speakers at this conference, Ben Wilson, an assistant director at the Summer Service Learning Program at the Center for Social Concerns at the University of Notre Dame, talked about Dorothy Day’s “genius,” explaining: “Dorothy’s unceasing effort to ever more faithfully love God and neighbor underscores the lifelong journey that becoming loving requires.”

In a book Day wrote about St. Therese of Lisieux, she wrote: “We want to grow in love but we do not know how.

Love is a science, a knowledge, and we lack it.”

“As is characteristic of many saints,” Wilson observed, “Dorothy remained

utterly convinced of God’s enduring presence in those around her as well as of her own failings to reciprocate and channel God’s love.

Dorothy’s example challenges us, and in turn those we work with, to resist the allure of self-congratulation, regardless of how demanding or fruitful our work is.”

Pope Francis is fond of pointing out he is a sinner. It is this unworthiness that draws Christians to Jesus Christ as Savior. For the rest of the world to know we are works in progress and need to do more and give more – this is not a bad thing. And with Dorothy Day in mind, I might even thank President Obama for his criticism.

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: MINOOKA 2, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 1 (25-18, 22-25, 25-23)

Minooka beats Plainfield C. to win SPC title

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Minooka’s boys volleyball team had a chance to clinch at least a share of the Southwest Prairie Conference title on Tuesday but dropped a home match to Oswego.

As a result, the stakes were higher Wednesday when the Indians met Plainfield Central on its senior night for a winner-take-all clash for the outright championship.

In a preview of Memorial Day’s Minooka Regional quarterfinal match between the teams, the Indians edged the Wildcats, 25-18, 22-25, 2523, to win their fourth straight SPC title.

“If you’re going to have a game that boils down to a conference championship, which was the goal of both teams, talk about an exciting one,” Indians coach Janel Grzetich said.

“The intensity was there on both sides. On Monday, we’ll see them again, and I wouldn’t be shocked if this happens again. I was so proud of my boys with the way that they played. They wanted it, but you could also see that was going on on the other side of the net, too.”

Leading the way for the Indians (22-12, 12-2) was Brandon Baranski, who had 21 kills. Danny Beaudin added nine kills and four blocks, Shane Chetney added 32 assists and four blocks, and Grant Ooms chipped in with three kills, three aces and two blocks.

In the finale, Minooka used three straight kills from Beaudin to grab a 17-13 lead, but Central (11-3) tied it at 21 after kills from Noah Randall and Gage Wuestenfeld.

The Indians, who didn’t lose any SPC road matches, closed out the win with two kills from Baranski and another from Beaudin.

“It was great to have the game in our hands so that we could determine our own destiny,” Beaudin said. “We really came together and worked as hard as we could today.

It was a great game, and the whole time it was very close

But the Wildcats responded with a 6-0 run to go up, 20-15. Taylor Kegel had two blocks, Alec Machacek served an ace, and Wuestenfeld added a block and a kill to give them a five-point lead, and Minooka never got any closer than two points back.

The Indians never trailed in the opener, and Central forced only one early tie.

Things didn’t look good for the Wildcats after Baranski got a kill to make it 17-12, but the hosts got to within 18-17 following two hitting errors and an ace by Machacek.

While the Wildcats will tie for second with the winner of Thursday’s Plainfield North-Oswego match, they now can focus on trying to repeat as regional champions.

But they know it will be difficult against a quality field.

“We were fortunate to be playing for the conference championship in the last match,” Wildcats coach Alex Hurlburt said. “There’s a lot of good teams in the regional, so we need to improve our serve-receive dramatically.

That’s really been a struggle the whole season.

“We have an elite setter and a real solid offensive unit, but even the best setter can only do so much with struggling passes. So that’s a question mark. This a nice opportunity to more or less get revenge with this loss leaving a bitter taste in our mouths.

A similar thing happened last season for us after we lost conference to them but then took regionals.”

AREA SCHEDULE

Morris, Minooka in rain-shortened battle

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Whenever Morris and Minooka get together in any sporting event, there’s excitement.

That excitement was cut a bit short at Wednesday’s softball game, as the weather forced the game between the Redskins and Indians to be halted in the bottom of the fifth inning with the game tied 3-3. Since rules dictate that the game revert to the last completed inning, Minooka gets credited with a 3-2 win, as Morris scored the tying run in the top of the fifth.

Regardless of the outcome, both teams were happy to get some innings in against each other, since this game was a rescheduled version of one rained out May 8.

“The girls really wanted to play this game,” Minooka coach Mark Brown said.

“When it got rained out the first time, they were telling me, ‘You have to reschedule it,=.’ They like playing

against Morris, but I guess Mother Nature didn’t want us to play this year.”

With a steady drizzle of mixed rain and sleet prior the game, the field was in good enough condition to play, and the game started on time. Both pitchers – Minooka’s Alyssa Hajduk and Morris’ Abby Burns – dominated the early action, with only one baserunner through the first three innings, a walk to Minooka’s Caity Bell.

The highlight of the first three innings was a defensive gem turned in by Morris shortstop Janelle Brehm in the bottom of the third. With one out, Minooka’s Alexa Zito grounded a ball to the hole between short and third.

Brehm dove and backhanded the ball before turning and throwing to first from her knees just in time to get Zito out at first.

“That was a great play by Janelle,” Morris coach Jen Lowery said. “At that point of the game, there hadn’t been many runners on, so to keep a runner off base was

big.”

Hajduk retired the first two Morris hitters in the fourth, making it 11 straight she had set down. Morris’ Emily Moore then connected for a double to left-center before Ashley Phelps lined a home run over the center field fence to put Morris ahead, 2-0.

“She [Hajduk] is a good pitcher,” Lowery said. “We haven’t faced a riseball pitcher like her very often this year, so it took us a while to adjust and have the discipline to not swing at anything above our hands. Once we went through the lineup once, we figured it out and hit her better.”

The Indians (16-12) had a quick answer in their half of the fourth. Hajduk led off with a walk before the heart of the order made its presence felt. No. 3 hitter Bell doubled to right-center to score Hajduk, and cleanup hitter Steffany Pershey followed with a double to left to score Bell to tie the game.

Fifth hitter Shannon Stuch-

ly gave Minooka its third straight RBI double, this one down the line in left, to score Pershey for a 3-2 lead.

Burns retired the next three Minooka hitters to escape the inning with no further damage.

“Alyssa has been dominant for us lately,” Brown said. “Their pitcher [Burns] had us off-balance with her change of speeds, but we were able to string together some nice hits.”

With one out in the top of the fifth, Morris’ Taya Torkelson doubled and went to third on a passed ball.

After a popout, Torkelson scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-3.

“They beat us pretty good last year,” Lowery said. “I was pretty happy to have a close game with them this year. The seniors came into this with kind of a chip on their shoulder, and it was a fun five innings that we played.

“Hopefully, we can have that attitude when the postseason starts next week.”

SLAMMERS 6, CRUSHERS 3

Guth pitches Slammers to initial victory

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Now that’s more like it.

Starting pitcher Jordan Guth was outstanding, and the Joliet Slammers found a way to score enough runs Wednesday morning to secure their first victory, 6-3, over Lake Erie at Silver Cross Field.

“We got great starting pitching, which is what we needed to get out of our funk,” said Slammers manager Jeff Isom, whose team improved to 1-4 before a crowd of 3,626 that featured busloads of vocal elementary school students.

“Jordan gave us every opportunity to win this game.”

Lake Erie (2-3) had two outs and nobody on base in the top of the fourth inning and scored three runs on three hits, a walk and an error to

grab a 3-0 lead.

The Joliet offense had help in the bottom of the fourth when the Slammers pushed across two runs. With Guth on cruise control, Joliet drew even, 3-3, on Phil Bates’ twoout single in the sixth, then won it with a three-run eighth.

That inning had a little of everything.

Mike Garza was hit by a pitch, Russell Moldenhauer followed with his second hit, Alfredo Rodriguez sacrificed, and Bates knocked in the goahead run with a fielder’s choice when Garza slid home safely on his grounder to short.

Jack Cleary followed with a run-scoring double; and Max Casper – who had a strong game at second base, including a spectacular play up the middle – dropped down a suicide squeeze bunt to score

Bates with the final run.

“Even though we got two runs back in the fourth inning, we did it with their help,” Isom said. “We said we better start scoring some runs on our own, not rely on the other team making mistakes.

We did that.”

The Slammers finished with only five hits, all coming in three innings where they scored runs. Isom said he was happy to see four RBIs from the bottom third of the lineup.

Navery Moore pitched the ninth inning for the save after Guth had thrown 101 pitches in eight strong innings. Guth allowed six hits and one walk while striking out eight. Only two of the runs off him were earned.

“We knew Guth has a quality arm,” Isom said. “He gives up two earned runs and could have been out of the inning

without any. We see him as a top-of-the-rotation type guy.”

“We put it all together today,” Guth said. “The guys did a great job defensively, Jack Cleary called a real good game behind the plate, and we got timely hitting.”

Guth said the key to his strong outing was the command he did not have when he lasted four innings and allowed six runs, four earned, in the second game of the season at Florence.

“I started out throwing all fastballs,” he said. “I don’t think I threw a breaking ball until the third or fourth inning. I wanted to get ahead of the hitters.”

A former Wisconsin-Milwaukee right-hander who pitched the last two years at the A-Advanced level in the Philadelphia Phillies organization, Guth was released late

this spring.

“I was fighting myself with my mechanics,” he said. “It was nice to throw like I did today.”

Guth said his mom and dad, plus his grandparents, drove in from Wisconsin to watch him pitch. He accomplished a rarity for them. He struck out the first two hitters in the Lake Erie lineup, Taylor Stevens and Juan Sanchez, a total of seven times in eight at-bats. Stevens wore the golden sombrero.

“Jordan has a good fastball, and they weren’t catching up to it,” Isom said.

The end of the Slammers’ funk?

“We’re not hitting on all cylinders offensively yet, like I feel we will,” Isom said. “The problem hasn’t been effort related. In fact, we’re just trying to do too much.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: JOLIET CATHOLIC 2, PROVIDENCE 0 (25-19, 25-15)

JCA rolls on with victory over Providence

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Nothing seems to be stopping the Hilltoppers.

After hitting two program milestones Tuesday, the Joliet Catholic boys volleyball team picked up another home victory Wednesday, 25-19, 25-15, over nonconference rival Providence.

“It’s been a great year,” junior outside hitter Blake Reardon said. “Everyone has been doing exactly what our coaches are telling us to do. We’re all finishing and doing our part.

It’s been all hard work. We’ve come in before school and put in extra hours. Everything is finally getting in a groove, meshing together and playing perfectly.”

“I told people last year that it was a two-year project for me,” JCA coach Rhyen Staley said. “We knew that we had all but one senior last year, so we were working this year to not only hit the milestone of breaking 30 wins for the first time

but beating teams that we have never beaten before.

“We never beat St. Francis.

We never played in the finals of the Lincoln-Way East tournament. We never won a tournament. So there are a lot of those fun things that have taken place this year that we can look back on and see they’re the results of all of the efforts of our group.”

But the Celtics didn’t let the Hilltoppers have an easy win.

In the first game, the teams battled. JCA came out with energy, maybe a little too much.

Providence had a 4-1 ace-to-service error ratio while JCA had a 0-3 ratio.

Trailing, 19-18, JCA junior middle blocker Ben Gabor swung for a kill. Then it clicked. Senior outside hitter Mitch Gustafson went behind the line and served for the remainder of Game 1, as the Hilltoppers had two blocks and three kills.

“Everyone did really good,” Gabor said. “Everyone worked together, and no one got mad at

each other, which is big. We all stayed together as a team and won.”

In Game 2, JCA (31-4, 8-1) was in a similar situation. Down, 1211, the Hilltoppers called a timeout. Off serve receive, Gabor put down another of his eight kills. Then Gustafson went back to serve again, this time for eight points, making the score 18-12 before the Celtics sided out on a Zack Heller kill.

Beforehand, three Hilltoppers were honored for career achievements. Senior setter Aron Goeken had passed the 1,500 career assist mark, senior libero Tony Allen passed 1,000 career digs, and Reardon swung for more than 1,000 career kills.

They added onto their numbers. Allen had a spectacular night, digging more than 13 hits and passing a 2.6 on a 3.0 serve-receive passing scale.

Goeken totaled 27 kills, four digs and four setter dump kills.

Reardon had nine kills while tallying an ace.

The Hilltoppers had nine

blocks total. Gabor led the defense at the net with two solo blocks and five block assists, while Goeken had five block assists, Reardon and senior middle hitter Jason Turley both had two block assists, and right-side hitter Chandler Kowaliczko had one.

“It was a great game,” Reardon said. “We were all excited and played as hard as we could.

My teammates played amazing. I’ve never seen them play like that before, and I loved every second of it.”

Offensively, the Hilltoppers weren’t lacking, either. Kowaliczko hit five kills and a .833 hitting percentage, Turley added three kills and Gustafson one.

JCA also had three aces – two from Gustafson. The serving pressure and the serving runs, however, are what helped the Hilltoppers win the game and keep Providence out of system.

“At times, it was good to see the guys battling, coming together and never giving up,”

Celtics coach Kyle Klaver said.

“That’s what we pride ourselves on. We play until the end, win or lose. I’m proud of the way they played. It didn’t go our way, but it’s something to build on.”

Bryan Grill led the Celtics (15-16) with five kills, while Nathan Heller had three and Eric Combs, Mike Daly and Zack Heller each had two. Jack Richardson had 11 digs, and Bryan Gronek had 13 assists.

Both teams have tough regionals next week. Providence will play Lincoln-Way Central on Monday, and JCA will play the winner of the Minooka-Plainfield Central quarterfinal.

“We have a tough regional ahead,” Klaver said. “One through seven is tough.”

“It’s going to be tough. No one in the state has an easy regional,” Staley said. “We take everybody seriously, no matter how strong their record is. We know that the winner of Minooka-Plainfield Central is going to be a tough opponent.”

a second-place 4x400, while Pierre-Antoine joined Brown on a state champion 4x200 relay.

Junkroski, who has won five medals, looks to be allstate for the fourth straight year. Brown, a six-time medal winner, and Pierre-Antoine, who has won four medals, both seek to become medalists for a third straight season.

Plainfield North’s Lau had the second-best 3,200, while Minooka’s Ashley Tutt also figures to be in the medal mix in that event. Other Indians who turned in top sectional showings include Wilson in the 400 and 200 and Mackenzie Callahan in the 800.

Among Bolingbrook’s best hopes are Charlyncia Stennis in the 400, Jessica Watkins in the 100 and 200 and its 4x100 relay. And Romeoville’s Cierra Pulliam figures to be in the mix for a medal in the triple jump.

Last season, Pulliam took third in the triple jump, Watkins was sixth in the 100, and Stennis placed seventh in the 400. Watkins, who has won five medals during her Raiders career, will try to earn all-state honors for a fourth straight season.

Lockport’s Lane Kadlec will try to get on the awards stand in both the shot put and discus, and the Porters also hope to get a medal in the 4x800 relay. Others who figure to be in the mix are Joliet West’s Melzina Johnson in the long jump, Lincoln-Way Central’s Ashley Raehsler in the triple jump and Plainfield South’s Daijah Brown in the 400.

Other qualifiers who earned medals a year ago are Lemont’s Jacque Desmond, who was sixth in the pole vault, and Plainfield North’s Anna Laudizio, who took ninth in the triple jump. Laudizio hopes to earn all-state honors for the third straight year.

In Class 2A, Lincoln-Way West’s Bax had the third-best 400, while Courtney O’Donnell hopes to be in the medal mix in the discus, as does the Warriors’ 4x400 relay. Another West qualifier is Natalie Krol, who took eighth in the 1,600 a year ago.

Providence’s MacNab turned in the best high jump.

The Celtics also look as if they could earn a medal in the 4x200 relay. Morris’ Burton had the second-best long jump, while teammate Madi-

had the third-best the triple jump and hoped to medal in the long jump. Cora Wilkinson posted the third-best 300 hurdles and was also in the mix in triple jump. And Willow Stuedemann figured to be in the picture in the 100 and 200. The Irish also turned in a good showing in the 4x800 relay.

Last season, Stuedemann took second in the 100, fourth in the 400 and sixth in the 200 while Lexi Wilkinson finished fifth in the triple jump.

The latter will attempt to earn all-state honors for a thirdstraight year.

One week ago, girls track and field athletes such as Ololade Ayoola, Deven Bax, Asia Brown, Leona Burton, Daly Galloway, Julia Junkroski, Rachael Lau, Christina MacNab, Cora Wilkinson, Lexi Wilkinson, Ashleigh Wilson and Morgan Zacharias posted times or distances that ranked among the best in the state in their classes in sectional competition.

But to contend for a top spot on the awards stand at this weekend’s IHSA finals at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, they’ll have to have similar success in the semifinals Thursday or Friday and continue that in Saturday’s finals at O’Brien Stadium.

Class 1A competitors get started today as they try to qualify for Saturday’s finals; and Friday, athletes from Classes 2A and 3A will try to advance. Although individuals who qualify for Saturday’s finals will be one step closer to getting one of the nine medals in their event, nothing is assured until each competition concludes.

Junkroski, Brown and Ayoola are members of Lincoln-Way East’s squad, which will be trying to capture its third straight Class 3A championship under three separate head coaches. Brian Evans leads this year’s Griffins, who also turned in some of the best sectional times in the 4x100-meter and 4x200 relays.

Brown had the state’s best 100, Ayoola ranked second in the high jump and Junkroski was tied for the third in the pole vault. The 4x100 also was best in Class 3A, and the 4x200 ranked second. Other possible East medalists include Alexis Pierre-Antoine in the 100 hurdles and 300 hurdles, Jasmine Howell in the 100, Brown in the 200 and the 4x400 and 4x800 relays.

A year ago, Junkroski was second in the pole vault and eighth in the high jump, and Ayoola took fifth in the high jump. Brown and Ayoola ran on a state champion 4x100 and

son Mayberry also performed well in that event.

In Class 1A, Reed-Custer’s Zacharias had the best mark in the pole vault, while teammate Alyssa Marrs also hopes to medal in that event. Dwight co-op’s Galloway, who attends Gardner-South Wilmington, had the best time in the 1,600 and was second in the 3,200.

Zacharias won the championship in the pole vault a year ago and finished second in the event in her first two seasons. Galloway was third in the 3,200 and sixth in the 1600 last year.

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS – GAME 3: BLACKHAWKS VS. DUCKS, 7 P.M. THURSDAY, NBCSN

Goalies take center stage in Western Conference finals

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The top four defensemen for the Blackhawks carried a heavy load in the first two games of the Western Conference finals. A couple of the Hawks’ biggest stars were shut out in Anaheim, and the Ducks’ fourth line caused a bunch of problems for the Hawks.

At least the Hawks don’t have to worry about their goalie right now.

A month after Corey Crawford was pulled from Game 1 of the Hawks’ first-round playoff series against Nashville, it looks as if the veteran is one of their biggest assets heading into Game 3 against Anaheim on Thursday night.

For all the pre-series talk about the offensive stars, an opening split in Southern California belonged to Crawford and Ducks goalie Frederik Andersen.

“Both goalies are playing really well,” Hawks center Brad Richards said Wednesday. “Big goalies that seem to fight through traffic really well. You know, when they see it, it’s going to hit them most of the time.”

That never was more evident than Tuesday night, when the Ducks and Hawks faced off in a triple-overtime classic that could have a dramatic effect on the rest of the series.

Crawford made 60 saves and Andersen finished with 53 stops, but Marcus Kruger’s sixth goal in his 65th career playoff game lifted the Hawks to a 3-2 victory.

Now the series shifts to the United Center for the next two games, where the Hawks are 5-0 in the playoffs. But their top four defensemen played a ton of minutes in Anaheim, and it remains to be seen if they can keep it up against the physical Ducks.

“Our game plan is to get the puck in deep and forecheck their D men, finish our checks, play down low,” Anaheim defenseman Francois Beauchemin said. “You know, they’re in good physical shape. Obviously, they’ve been playing most of the year with four or five defensemen. They’re used to it. We just got to make sure

we keep that puck down low and focus on our offense.”

The big question for the Ducks is their response to their first home loss of the playoffs, especially going into a notoriously difficult place to play.

“We’ve done it all year. I would be more surprised if we weren’t able to rebound and play a really great game than if it went the other way around,” Anaheim coach Bruce Boudreau said. “I’ve been with this group for a long time now.

You can see it. They were, rightfully so, very angry last night. Not disappointed, but angry. That’s a good thing.”

Each side had numerous chances in the overtimes before Kruger’s winning goal.

Crawford, who helped the

Hawks win the Stanley Cup in 2013, made 28 stops in the extra periods.

“Crow did what he’s done all playoffs for us, let us hang in there long enough so we could get one bounce,” captain Jonathan Toews said.

Taking ‘a sacramental approach’ Pastor of Homer Glen Byzantine church looks back on 15 productive years

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

HOMER GLEN – Annunciation Byzantine Catholic Church in Homer Glen marked its 15th anniversary this month, on May 14.

The church shares a sentiment with Homer Glen – “Community and nature in harmony.” It’s a sacramental approach, said church pastor the Rev. Thomas J. Loya, consistent with Byzantine Catholic spirituality.

“We look out and ask, ‘What did God create here?’ ” Loya said. “Did he put palm trees here? Did he put turf grass here? No, he put in these flowers and prairie grasses in this region of the world. We’ll just try to do what God did.”

Landscaping with indigenous plants resulted in recognition from several environmental groups for Annunciation’s plan for managing its 10 acres, Loya said.

Other achievements during the past 15 years include the formation of a 20-member choir that recorded a CD, collaboration with area Catholic churches, the founding of an independent institute that addresses human life, and an outreach to the Middle East.

Juliana Taimoorazy, founder and president of the Iraqi Christian Relief Council – which Loya said Annunciation helps promote – recently spoke at the church.

“I was somewhat surprised at how many people were moved by her presentation about what’s going on with Christians in the Middle East,” Loya said. “It was really striking how naive and in the dark we are kept in America.”

Annunciation is open during the day for prayer.

According to its website, byzantinecatholic.com, Annunciation offers tours for various

Over time, the area became neglected and eventually went to auction.

Weekly small-group discussions allowed the candidates to hear and share their faith journeys and struggles as college students in the 21st century.

was the first class to graduate from the Shorewood location. U.S. Navy Lt. Alex Duffy graduated from Holy Family in 2001.

Both Wooten and Duffy were active in Boy Scout Troop 464 of Minooka, and both attained the rank of Eagle Scout.

Wooten’s father, Joe Wooten, was the boys’ scoutmaster when the boys were in the troop. Both graduated from Joliet Catholic Academy.

While they have followed similar paths to serve their country, neither Alex nor Joey expected that they would be deployed together on the USS Makin Island, a light aircraft carrier.

After graduating from JCA, Duffy attended Notre Dame through an NROTC scholarship and became a naval officer upon graduation. Duffy has been an officer in the Navy for about five years.

Wooten entered the Marines in 2005 and was in the Second Fleet Anti-Terrorism Team Company, with deployments to Cuba and Asia. He then was assigned to 2nd Battalion 1st Marines at Camp Pendleton and served a tour in Iraq.

After returning to the states, he spent three years at the Infantry Training Battalion School of Infantry West as an anti-tank missileman instructor.

He was reassigned to 2nd Battalion 1st Marines, training for many months prior to the deployment on the 11th MEU, where he and Duffy traveled the waters of Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Time the play to make a contract

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Hesiod, an ancient Greek poet, said, “Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.”

Right on! Many things in life require good timing: Meeting a potential spouse, a golf swing, music, and making or breaking a bridge contract.

In bridge, the order in which the cards are played often makes the difference between success and failure -- as in today’s deal. How should South time four spades after West leads the heart king?

In the auction, North wasn’t thrilled to bid two spades, but he did have seven points and three-card support.

South would have liked a singleton, but he had so many aces and kings that he couldn’t stop short of game.

Declarer begins by counting the losers in his hand. He has four: one spade (assuming trumps are 3-2; if they are 4-1, the contract has no chance), two hearts and one club. It is possible that clubs will be worth three tricks, but that is slightly against the odds. Instead, South should plan to ruff his last heart in the dummy. But it requires careful timing.

Suppose declarer wins the first trick and returns a heart, West can take the trick and lead a third heart.

Here, East overruffs the dummy, leads a club to his partner’s ace, and ruffs another heart, which effects an uppercut. West gets two trump tricks for down two.

Instead, declarer should duck the first trick, win the second with his heart ace, and draw two rounds of trumps before ruffing his last heart in the dummy. Even if East could overruff, it would be with his natural trump trick.

various pills and works no better. In fact, some people with chronic migraines benefit from even simpler treatments. For example, apply a heating pad to your neck and shoulders every day. Consider massage, ultrasound or gentle stretching to relieve muscle tightness.

Something else to consider: More than half of chronic headache sufferers use painkillers frequently. After initially helping the pain, regular use of painkillers can make headaches worse – it’s called “medication overuse headache.” Caffeine-containing painkillers are most often to blame.

If your headaches are complicated by medication overuse, you need to stop the drugs. Doctors say going “cold turkey” works best. But another option is to gradually wean yourself off painkillers. Cut back a little each day. Enlist your doctor’s help with this withdrawal process.

If you decide to try Botox therapy, find a doctor who has experience doing the injections. This treatment requires 31 injections to be given in various locations along the head, neck and shoulders.

(I’ve put an illustration showing the Botox injection sites on my website, askdoctork.com.)

Be aware that Botox therapy requires repeat injections, and the benefits may last only a few months after each treatment. Most of my patients with chronic migraines get relief from other, simpler treatments. But for some, Botox has been a boon.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

O N U S

Dear Doctor K: I suffer from chronic migraine headaches. My doctor mentioned Botox injections as a possible treatment. Can you tell me more?

Dear Reader: I’ll bet you were surprised when you told your doctor you needed treatment for your migraines, and he or she said, “You need Botox!”

After all, what does removing wrinkles have to do with headaches?

Botox can do much more than remove wrinkles. Botox – short for botulinum toxin – is a substance made by the bacteria responsible for botulism. This is a foodborne illness that causes paralysis and sometimes death. When purified and diluted to very small concentrations, however, Botox is a safe and useful drug. It’s an example of how a little bit of a bad thing can be good.

Botox is a muscle relaxant. Tense muscles under the skin tug the skin and cause wrinkles, and that’s why the first use of Botox as a treatment was as a wrinkle-buster. Since then, however, many other medical conditions that are caused by tense muscles have been treated successfully with Botox.

Clinical trials have found that Botox injections reduce the frequency of headaches in people with chronic migraine headaches. In 2010, the FDA approved Botox for this purpose. But Botox treatment has been shown to be effective only for chronic migraine headaches – migraines suffered at least 15 days a month.

For migraines that are less frequent than that, there is little evidence that Botox helps. Since most people who suffer from migraines do not have chronic migraines, Botox has nothing to offer them.

At the same time, Botox is not the first treatment to try for chronic migraines. It is more risky and expensive than

Crosswords for young solvers: nytimes.com/studentcrosswords.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – You are a unique and creative individual. Start doing more for yourself and less of what everyone else thinks you should do. Regaining control over your life will strengthen your character and increase your self-confidence. This is your year to put your needs first and reap the rewards.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Communicating with a distant friend or relative will remind you of your earlier goals.

Revisit those ideas and start researching ways to get yourself back on track.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – It may be flattering to be the object of attention, but a charismatic con artist may be leading you on. Rumors and gossip can fuel resentment and jealousy.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Proceed slowly and carefully. You are likely to miss an important detail or opportunity if you are in too much of a hurry.

Double-check your work to ensure accuracy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t let the

negativity of others prevent you from getting where you want to go. You will stifle opposition if you move ahead with determination. Your success will be proof that you are right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Make plans for a solitary day. Trying to get along with others or convincing them to follow your lead will be difficult. You can get more done on your own.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You can make great progress by staying focused. Don’t get caught up in what others are saying or doing. If you stick to your game plan, you will come out on top.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – The benefits of assisting others will be satisfying. Your generous spirit will inspire others, and your popularity will grow. You will gain the attention of an important mentor.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Someone will try to set you up for a fall. Be honest and own up to any error you

make. Blaming others will make you seem untrustworthy.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Romance is in the air. If you are single, this is the perfect time to meet someone special.

If you are not, show how devoted you are to your loved one.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You have control over your future. Educate yourself and make social and business connections that will give you an edge over the competition. Take charge and excel.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Limit your spending. Pay down any charges that are incurring interest. Your hard work will be wasted if you can’t stick to a realistic budget. Excess and indulgence are your enemies.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – An entertaining day with family and friends will cheer you up. A game or challenge will shake up your usual routine and provide you with a pleasant and humorous diversion.

Dear Abby: I am responding to “Tired of Talking to Myself” (Feb. 13), whose husband’s ears slam shut when she begins to speak.

This is not a problem that’s exclusive to men. Women do it as well. As a retired PA (physician’s assistant), when talking with patients, I would refer to it as selective hearing loss.

“Tired” needs to look at her own behavior because I have never seen one partner be the only guilty one. My wife can hear the ticking of the turn signal that wasn’t turned off, but she doesn’t always hear my questions or statements.

There are many reasons why it happens, but the way to resolve it is to listen when your partner talks to you. If you do, you will find that he/she returns the courtesy. Perhaps if “Tired” gives a closer look to her own behavior, she’ll stop referring to it as a male problem. – Frank in

Dear Frank: Thanks for your letter. When I asked readers for input, they heard me loud and clear and gave me an “earful”: Dear Abby: Focus is a strength for many men like me. I am a little hard of hearing and need to focus on what I am listening to. If you want open ears, hold my hands and make sure I am looking at your face. You will now have my attention. Tell me what you want from me. I want you to be happy and will do what I can for you. – A

Dear Abby: Some researchers say women speak about 13,000 more words a day than men do. There’s a joke that explains it’s because we have to say everything twice! – Jenny in North

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Carolina

Dear Abby: Men have no patience. They only want to hear a brief, straight-tothe-point version. Women tend to tell the story from beginning to end with every detail explained so nothing is misunderstood.

When men hear us talk, they will say all they hear is blah, blah, blah. “Tired,” if you try to be patient and use the abridged version, maybe communication will get easier with fewer repeats. – Heidi in Florida Dear Abby: I wonder what kind of things she’s saying to him. There’s a saying I have found to be true: “Men marry women and hope they never change.

Women marry men and hope they will change.”

I have been married for 35 years and recently my wife has started pointing out every little thing I do that she thinks I should do differently. I have reached the point that when she starts one of her observations, I say, “Could you add it to your list and put it somewhere?” and that’s the end of the conversation.

Nit-picking does not make for a great marriage. – Tim
