It’s hard for me to imagine what must go through the head of a man or woman brave enough to sign up for the military.

You put others, strangers even, above yourself by being willing to put your life on the line for them. You believe that freedom isn’t free, and are willing to potentially be part of the cost that comes with living in the luxury of a country that cherishes so many rights citizens of other countries can’t even dream of.

The love you have for your country must surge through your blood with every beat of your heart.

As Memorial Day approaches, I’ve tried to craft a moving way to say thank you, but my words seem too small for such a monumental sacrifice. So I’ll keep it simple: Thank you to those who put on a military uniform who never returned home to the U.S.A.

Project to honor veterans looking for assistance The Illinois Press Association, of which The Herald-News is a member, has asked its members to support locating missing photos of those from the military who served in Vietnam.

The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation project, “Faces Never Forgotten,” is seeking help locating missing photos of Vietnam veterans from Illinois. The photos will help complete an electronic “Wall of Faces” in the new education center at

VIEWS Kate Schott the Vietnam Memorial Wall, according to information the IPA sent me.

You can search the database by going to www. vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces/ and then clicking on “Advanced Search” to the right of the search box. You can then input a city or county.

I searched the database by county, and found 34 people from Will County who didn’t have a photo, and five from Grundy County who did not have a photo. Their names, and associated towns, as they appear on the website are:

Will County • John S. Ambrosini, Lockport • James A. Ascher, Aurora • Donald L. Baker, Energy • Christopher W. Beavers, Naperville • Charles W. Becker, Minooka • William J.

You won’t find it in a hard-cover copy of Darwin

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com Local libraries keep finding new ways to evolve from books to technology.

“It’s the direction a lot of libraries are still moving in now,” Plainfield Library Director Julie Milavec said.

The quick pace of technology has caused a ripple effect of change in libraries where it once was common to see most patrons reading instead of using the Internet.

Today, libraries are increasing their focus on e-books, Internet use and interactive media.

“Print materials are still our bread and butter right now,” White Oak libraries Director Scott Pointon said.

“The switch to electronic is going to happen, but we’re not sure if it’s in five years or 50 years.”

But libraries still are organically evolving to meet the increased technology needs of the public. Plainfield, Joliet and White Oak libraries are offering classes on new computer programs, foreign languages and Internet staples like social media and cloud services.

“No two libraries have the same trends,” Pointon said.

“But the trend of the future for libraries is technology assistance.”

E-books Plainfield Public Library is small for the district size it serves. It stands at about 27,000 square feet for 75,000 residents.

The limited size has forced the library to serve residents’ literary needs in a different medium.

“There just isn’t room for us to do the kinds of things other libraries can,” Milavec said. “But we’re still a leader in e-books.”

Plainfield Public Library has twice as many e-books in its collection as physical copies. A whole page on its web-

But while e-books are popular, Milavec said the cost of them for libraries is extremely high compared to individual users.

“E-book publishing is so punitive to libraries,” said Milavec.

Publishers have been capping circulation with limits on the use of an e-book, Milavec said. This means an e-book is actually more expensive than a paperback.

“An e-book may cost $10 online for the individual, but $84 for libraries,” Milavec said.

Milavec said she’s hopeful that costs will eventually go down over time like they did for movies and VHS tapes.

“I don’t know when that will happen,” Milavec said.

Internet use Libraries have also seen a rapid change in Internet use.

“Adaptability is the name of the game when it comes to technology,” said Joliet Public Library Director Kevin Medows said. “These days it’s BYOD – bring your own device.”

Medows has seen more people bring in their own laptops, smart phones and tablet computers instead of using existing library desktops. He said it’s resulting in increased Internet usage.

Shorewood-Troy Public Library recently upgraded its Internet from a T1 line to a 10 MBps fiber optic line. The change actually saved the library money.

“Our old line wasn’t enough to support increased Internet traffic,” Shorewood-Troy

library Director Jenny Mills said. “There’s definitely an increased demand with streaming video and music.”

Milavec said the BYOD trend led to Plainfield library replacing two public-use personal computers with open spaces with outlets.

Media labs “Print use at libraries is not decreasing at an alarmable rate, but at a noticeable rate,” Medows said. “Our spaces are transforming to be different than what they were used for.”

Joliet library’s Digital Media Studio is a prime example of the changing nature of library space use. The studio contains audio and visual recording equipment along with the software necessary to make professional quality

commercials and music.

The studio, which works on a reservation system of two hours a session, is usually booked two weeks in advance by individuals, businesses and local recording artists.

“I think an addition like the [studio] is part of libraries beginning to transform themselves,” Medows said.

Naperville and Fountaindale public libraries both have added media labs in the past two years that contain similar equipment as well as 3D printers.

Pointon said White Oak library system is looking to add its own media lab in three to five years.

“It’s the next big thing for libraries to have,” Pointon said. “We just built some new libraries, so down the road we’ll look at that.”

‘THEY’RE MY HEROES’ Plainfield Boy Scout collecting items for military members

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

Seventh-grade students Melanie Alarcon (front), 12, and Annet Juarez, 12, replant daylilies after school Wednesday at Gompers Junior High School in Joliet.

Garden variety math Students use geometry to plant, design garden at Gompers Junior High School

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – If the square root of (AXA)+(BXB)=C, then how many daylilies and hostas can you fit in a corner garden?

Seventh-graders in Ashley Matsko’s math class at Gompers Junior High School recently were challenged to use garden-variety geometry formulas to input garden designs into landscape design software.

On Wednesday, students were invited to translate their efforts into the Green and Renewable Energy Mathematics Garden in the school’s courtyard.

“It definitely energized them and made them more interested,” Matsko said. “It gave them something concrete to put with the abstract math they do every day.”

Matsko received a $2,905 Toolbox for Education grant

from Lowe’s for her math garden idea. She used the money to purchase flowers, shrubs, wood chips, picnic tables and equipment for the garden.

Students in three classes used their knowledge of circumference, diameter and radius to accurately place existing trees into their designs.

After a final design was selected, Matsko’s students were invited to exchange their pens and pencils for shovels and hoses to make the garden a reality.

Students spent four days planting a variety of perennials and annuals in the courtyard before mulching everything with wood chips.

The class was a big hit with many of the students.

“She makes math fun,” Annet Juarez, 12, said of her teacher.

Alan Hidalge, 14, appreciated being out of the classroom.

“You get to be out with

nature and plant flowers and trees,” he said.

Just getting 200 bags of black mulch from the parking lot to the courtyard turned out to be quite an endeavor, Matsko said.

“They dropped it off on a rainy day and we had our boys truck it through the school,” Matsko said. “They were filthy by the time it was done.”

Principal Connie Russell said the new garden is a great addition to the school.

“That courtyard has been a thorn in my side for the last six years,” Russell said.

“When Ashley told me she got the grant, I was so happy.”

Russell said the school plans to plant a vegetable garden in a second courtyard next month for its life skills summer school students.

“Some of these kids don’t even have yards to do this kind of thing,” Russell said.

“So it’s great for them.”

PLAINFIELD – Troop 19 Boy Scout Josh Hudson grew up in a military- and law enforcement-friendly household.

His father was a fireman and currently is a 9-1-1 dispatcher. His grandfather was in the military and several family friends have served in the armed forces.

So it seems natural that Josh’s final task to become an Eagle Scout is to lead a volunteer effort helping troops overseas.

Josh is collecting donations to fill 150 boxes for Operation Care Package in Joliet.

He has set up donation boxes at five locations throughout Plainfield and Joliet. Eagle Scout is the highest Boy Scout rank.

“I just want to help them,” Josh, a 14-year-old freshman at Plainfield Central High School, said of the troops.

“They’re my heroes. I look up to them.”

Josh’s project was inspired by his respect for men and women in uniform. When he was a Wolf Scout seven years ago, a family friend who served three tours in Afghanistan was about to retire from the Marines.

Josh’s Cub Scout den wound up folding 1,500 American flags for his family friend’s battalion. The kids in the den wrote letters back and forth to members of the battalion.

“It was just a natural gravitation for Josh,” said his mother, Julie Hudson.

Josh is currently a Life Scout and has achieved all the merit badges he needs to become an Eagle Scout. All that’s left is this project.

Donate Donations for listed items found at operationcarepackages.org will be accepted at the following locations through June 1: n Walgreens at 4822 Caton Farm Road n St. Mary Immaculate Parish at 15629 S. Route 59 n American Legion at 24741 Renwick Road n American Legion Harwood Post 5 in Rockdale n Knights of Columbus at 100 Infantry Drive n Plainfield Public Library at 15025 S. Illinois St.

“I wanted to join the military, so this is a way to help them out now instead of later,” he said.

His mother, who was Josh’s Cub Scout leader and the committee chairwoman for Troop 19, said the whole point of the Eagle Scout project is to display leadership skills as a project manager.

“This project is a tad more special when you know that there’s somebody going over there that’s getting something,” Julie Hudson said.

“I’m very proud of him.”

“People ask me what I’m doing and what it’s about,” Josh said. “They ask, ‘How can I help?’ I tell them to go to the locations and donate items on the lists.”

Josh will be picking up donations June 1. Then he will organize the sorting of donations and send them to Operation Care Package.

Josh also will be at St. Mary Immaculate Parish on Sunday, greeting and thanking people for donating items to the cause.

Arrangements made for Coal City Marine cchapman@morrisdailyherald.com MORRIS – Arrangements have been made for Marine Lance Cpl. Steven Hancock, 20, who died earlier this week in a tragic accident.

Hancock is a 2011 graduate of Coal City High School and the son of Sue and Mike Hancock of Goose Lake.

The visitation has been scheduled for 3 to 8 p.m.

Thursday at the First Christian Church, 455 W. Southmor Road in Morris, according to U.C. Davis-Callahan Funeral Home in Morris, which is handling the arrangements.

A celebration of Hancock’s life is planned for Friday, also at the church, but as of Friday afternoon a time for the service had not been set.

Hancock, a 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing Marine, fell from an MV-22B Osprey aircraft while it was conducting

a familiarization training flight Monday evening about 45 miles west of Marine Corps Air Station New River near White Lake, North Carolina. His body was found Tuesday afternoon through ex-

tensive search measures by Marine and civilian agencies.

District 111 superintendent given 90-day notice

By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – The Minooka High School District 111 board unanimously voted Friday to approve a unilateral 90-day termination notice for Superintendent Jim Colyott.

Colyott will remain employed by the district though Aug. 25, but his role will be limited primarily to assisting in the transition to an interim superintendent, while the board begins the process of securing a permanent replacement, according to a news release sent Saturday afternoon.

Board President Mike Brozovich said in the release that a superintendent’s primary role is to implement board policy and guide the district toward its goals, and to do so must have the support and confidence of the staff and of the board.”

“Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons,” Brozovich continued, “these conditions do not exist in District 111 at the level needed for Mr. Colyott to successfully continue in the role of superintendent.”

Instead of spending the final year of Colyott’s contract trying to restore the confidence and support, Brozovich said the

board believed it time to search for a new superintendent.

Following the 7-0 vote Friday, the majority of the audience in the packed board room broke into applause and cheers.

Board member Karen Buchanan said she only voted in favor of termination because it was in the best interest of the students and the community.

She said she hoped the best for Colyott and his family.

Teacher’s union president Dennis Grosskopf, following the meeting, said the decision brought relief because the fear of job loss was so great among teachers. He told the

board working conditions under Colyott included bullying, intimidation and emotional abuse.

“Our working conditions are our children’s learning environment,” he told board members. “Will you protect our children, our assets, with your vote?”

Two people spoke publicly in support of Colyott. Dewitt Buchanan, husband of board member Karen Buchanan, ran through a list of accomplishments that Colyott had achieved during his time with the district, including increasing test scores for students and

reducing the district’s budget.

“He has been targeted by a select few who were attempting to undermine him,” Dewitt Buchanan said. “[This is] not because of a performance issue.

It’s because he isn’t popular.”

Colyott’s contract with District 111 allows the board to unilaterally terminate his contract with a minimum of 90 days notice without cause.

He will be given all of the aggregate compensation and cash value of fringe benefits through the termination date.

JOLIET

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com Pace’s shift to a new card payment system is proving to be a lot less bumpy than the CTA’s transition last year.

The suburban bus service hopes to make the transition smoother with four outreach events in which Pace employees will hand out free Ventra cards at four Joliet bus stops through June 2.

Pace soon will require payment by Ventra card, or cash.

Chicago Card/Chicago Card Plus will be phased out June 1. Magnetic strip cards will be discontinued July 1.

The CTA’s switch to the Ventra system last year proved problematic when

thousands of customers initially were unable to activate their new cards, or waited for weeks for their cards to arrive in the mail.

But the changeover is going well for Pace, said Patrick Wilmot, a spokesman for the transit agency.

“Overall, the transition has been pretty smooth for us,” Wilmot said. “The system is definitely performing faster with much better performance than when it first rolled out.”

Many Pace customers already have switched, Wilmot said.

“We’ve had a little better than three out of five customers using Ventra cards for fare transactions,” Wilmot said.

Upcoming PACE’s Ventra outreach events: n Tuesday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Walmart, 2424 W. Jefferson St., Joliet n Wednesday: 7 to 10 a.m. and 2 to 5 p.m., Joliet Union Station, 50 E. Jefferson St. n Saturday: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Louis Joliet Mall, bus stop by Door 1, east of J.C. Penney n June 2: 7 to 10 a.m., 2 to 5 p.m., Joliet Union Station, 50 E. Jefferson St. The full list of events is available at www.pacebus.com/Ventra.

The Ventra payment system allows customers to use a single-fare card for regional transit throughout the Chicago area. Riders tap their payment card to the Ventra reader to board any bus or train on Pace and CTA. Pace has placed an emphasis on getting the cards direct-

ly in the hands of the rider, Wilmot said.

Pace will distribute Ventra Cards to customers in Joliet at four different times over the next several days. Pace staff will be on hand to pro-

vide information on the new cards and answer questions.

One card will be offered to each new Ventra customer.

Those who already have Ventra Cards, RTA Reduced Fare and Free Ride program permit holders are not eligible to receive one of the free cards.

Customers can continue to pay with cash but, after July 1, cash-paying PACE customers will no longer be able to buy a transfer card because of the deactivation of the magnetic strip card system.

Because of this, customers who need to purchase transfers must transition to Ventra before July 1.

Gov. Pat Quinn, all state House members and one-third of state senators are up for re-election this year. That includes Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, who shied away earlier this week in Democratic caucus from committing to a “yes” vote to keeping the state’s income tax hike in place.

Two days later, Walsh Jr. also rejected the alternative budget plan that doesn’t keep the income tax hike in place.

He also was among the Democrats who last week voted for a budget plan that calls for more spending even though it was unclear at the time where the money would come from.

Walsh Jr. said several Joliet-area hospitals, schools and social service programs have reached out to him, urging him to maintain current funding levels.

“The only way that we can continue to do that, as of right now, is for the 5-percent income tax rate to stay in place,”

he said. “Unless there’s an alternative revenue source to pop up here in the last six days that we have, that’s kind of the only option we got.”

Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said Friday he won’t commit to keeping the tax hike permanent until lawmakers have taken a look “under every rock.”

He said he hopes lawmakers take a closer look at a bill currently in the Senate that could free up money to put towards vital state services.

Ultimately, the bill would allow for the temporary suspension or reduction in “statutory

transfer” funds if the legislature approves. Currently, those funds are automatically transferred into special state funds each year without the need for legislative approval. Currently, the funds total more than $2 billion, McGuire said, but are annually exempt from the rigors of the budget process.

Some examples of funds that are automatically transferred out include the Convention Center Support Fund, Agricultural Premium Fund, Alzheimer’s Disease Research Fund,

State Sen. Jennifer BertinoTarrant, D-Shorewood, was among a handful of candidates in 2012 who pledged they would allow the state’s temporary tax increase to expire next year as scheduled.

But on Friday, the Shorewood Democrat would not say whether she’s for or against making permanent the 2011 temporary tax hike.

“You get the story all the time that politicians break promises. No politician wants to break promises. They’re going to say you’re breaking a promise, because when you’re campaigning, what do they ask you? They ask, ‘Do you support the tax increase staying permanent?’ ” she said. “Of course, you don’t support that, but the reality is, you come here and you get an alternative budget that shows ... across-the-board cuts. … That’s a difficult thing to swallow.”

The tax rate is scheduled to drop from 5 percent to 3.75

percent for individuals in January, reducing state revenue next year by $1.8 billion.

Her decision is especially difficult, Bertino-Tarrant said, with community organizations calling on her to vote for a stable budget amid fears of shutting down or cutting programs.

She’s not alone, she said, pointing to two votes that took place in the House last week.

In an informal poll taken Wednesday in the Democratic caucus, just 34 of the 71 House Democrats showed a willingness to make the tax hike permanent, well short of the 60 needed to pass.

With the lack of votes for such a budget, House Speaker Michael Madigan then presented Friday an alternative “doomsday” budget that leaves out income tax hike revenue and spells out deep spending cuts to education and social services. The House overwhelming rejected it by a 107-5 vote.

“They’re conflicted between cutting programs or taking the

Suspects in ’13 murders to be tried separately

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The three remaining suspects in the Hickory Street killings will be tried separately.

A day after Alisa Massaro, 20, pleaded guilty to reduced charges, Joshua F. Miner, 25, Adam M. Landerman, 20, and Bethany L. McKee, 19, appeared in court Friday morning Adam M. before Judge Landerman Gerald Kinney.

They are accused of strangling Eric Glover and Terrence Rankins, both 22, in January 2013 at Massaro’s house in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street. Prosecutors say they invited the victims to rob them of money and drugs. Massaro pleaded guilty to robbery and

concealing a homicide Thursday in exchange for a 10-year prison sentence on the condition she will testify against the others.

Assistant State’s Attorney John Connor asked Kinney on Friday to separate the remaining defendants’ trials because statements they’ve made against each other could prejudice a jury.

None of the defense attorneys objected to the Bethany L. severance.

McKee C o n n o r said the state will seek to try Miner first. Assistant Public Defender Lea Norbut filed a motion to suppress statements the defendants made to police during the investigation from being used in Miner’s trial.

That hearing will be held next month and Landerman and

McKee are scheduled to be back in court the same day.

“We’re not severing the discovery process, so I’d like to keep these together for right now,” Kinney said. During discovery, attorneys exchange investigative reports and documents expected to be used at trial.

Kinney also granted a motion for Landerman to be evaluated by another psychiatrist. He will be examJoshua F. ined by another Miner psychiatrist because Dr. Randi Zoot, who regularly evaluates whether someone is fit to stand trial, has already seen one of the other defendants.

Public Defender Frank Astrella has authorized the funds for Landerman be interviewed

by Dr. William Hillman. The

reports from that evaluation are expected to be ready in two months.

McKee’s attorney Neil Patel told Kinney that he and attorney Charles Bretz are still

reviewing the case and will provide a status update next month. McKee’s father, William, attended court Friday but declined to comment after the hearing.

Gas prices down for Memorial Day weekend

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – As the summer travel season begins, local motorists are paying less for gas than they did a year ago.

Prices for regular gas going into the Memorial Day weekend were roughly the same as last year nationally, according to Friday’s American Automobile Association’s Daily Fuel Gauge Report. But compared to last year, gas prices in the Chicago and Joliet area are about 27 and 22 cents cheaper, respectively.

Gas prices nationally should stay in the middle of the $3 range for the rest of the summer, said Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst with gasbuddy.com. Since last year, the national average has hovered between $3.25 and $3.75, he said.

“Really, motorists are not going to feel a lot of relief at the pump, but prices have been relatively stable,” he said.

What can affect gas prices?

“It’s everything from the price of oil, distribution, refiners, supply and demand, and global economic issues,”

By the numbers Average price of gas per gallon in the Joliet area: • Current: $3.902 • Last month: $3.986 • Last year: $4.121 Average price of gas per gallon in the Chicago area: • Current: $4.253 • Last month: $4.346 • Last year: $4.457 Average price of gas per gallon nationally: • Current: $3.656 • Last month: $3.673 • Last year: $3.659

Source: May 23 AAA Fuel Price Finder, Daily Fuel Gauge Report

said Beth Mosher, AAA spokeswoman.

What made gas prices higher in the Chicago area last year was unexpected problems occurring at some of the Great Lakes region refineries, he said.

Illinois has one of the most expensive average gas prices in the nation at $3.79, according to a May 19 AAA Daily Fuel Gauge Report. Leading the most expensive average

prices is Hawaii, California and Alaska. DeHaan said prices are high in the state because of high gas taxes.

The Memorial Day weekend is considered the beginning of the summer driving season, according to AAA, and about 36 million Americans are expected to travel 50 miles or more from home during the weekend. AAA experts point to people wanting to travel after a severe winter and a slowly improving economy.

Gas prices for the Memorial Day weekend are expected to be relatively similar or slightly less than last year’s national Memorial Day average of $3.63 a gallon, according to AAA. But unexpected developments such as refinery problems or international events could increase costs.

Mosher said AAA experts are monitoring the current politician tensions in Russia and Crimea, which may affect crude oil supplies.

“It’s kept global markets on edge but it’s something we’re watching and it could possibly lead to some sort of disruption. But it hasn’t happened yet,” she said.

He said RTA’s contention is the court made amendments to such agreements in 2004, but existing agreements such as Morris’ were excluded, Belt said.

A recent ruling from the Illinois Supreme Court prompted the Illinois Department of Revenue to issue an emergency amendment in January putting a stop to “artificially sourced sales.” This action stemmed numerous lawsuits against municipali-

ties by the RTA. “We had a valid agreement in 2001 and we have a valid agreement today,” Belt said.

“We will proceed forward to protect the city’s interest.”

Morris is requesting the case be heard in Grundy County since all the activity associated with Bell Fuels occurred in Grundy County and most of the witnesses for the case are located here, Belt said.

Passenger drowns Now Accepting after vehicle enters New Patients pond in Romeoville Dr. Sudarsana Chakrabarti

S

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – A Woodridge man drowned Thursday night when a car ran into a retention pond in Romeoville.

Kojo Pewudie, 54, was a passenger in a 2001 Mazda driven

by Vanessa Kwakwe, 25, of Romeoville that ran off the road about 7:49 p.m. in the 1400 block of Joliet Road, Police Commander Allen Downen said.

The car went into a pond off Joliet and Bluff roads. Kwakwe was able to escape from the vehicle and make it to shore but fire department divers found Pewudie in the water, Downen said.

Both victims were taken to Adventist Bolingbrook

Hospital where Pewudie was pronounced dead. Kwakwe was treated and released for nonlife-threatening injuries.

Pewudie and Kwakwe recently immigrated from Africa and are related, but are not father-daughter, Downen said.

Police do not believe drugs or alcohol contributed to the crash. Authorities said Kwakwe told them Pewudie was teaching her how to drive and helped her get out of the vehicle, but went under the water.

“A witness told us they were driving in the same area on Wednesday and it appears the man was teaching the woman to drive,” Downen said. “[Kwakwe] hit the accelerator when she meant to hit the brake, and this was the tragic result.”

MORRIS – The city of Morris wants the lawsuit filed against it by the Regional Transportation Authority to be heard in a Grundy County courtroom.

The motion to transfer the venue from Cook County to Grundy County was filed earlier this week at the Cook County Circuit Clerk’s office, Morris City Attorney Scott Belt said Friday.

“The city denies the allegations alleged in RTA’s complaint,” Belt said.

In March, the Chicago Transit Authority filed suit against Morris, and previously against Channahon and other municipalities, for controversial taxing strategies.

The RTA named Morris and Bell Fuels – a wholesale petroleum distribution company – as defendants in the lawsuit. The lawsuit claims Bell Fuels is unlawfully routing all purchases through a small office at 519 Franklin

St. in Morris, even though the company is headquartered in Stickney, in Cook County.

The lawsuit cites a rebate agreement between Bell Fuels and the city signed in October 2001. In it, the city agreed to rebate 70 percent of all sales tax revenue generated at the Morris office back to Bell Fuels. At the time it was signed, such an agreement was allowable under Illinois law.

According to the original rebate agreement, Bell Fuels agreed to open a “single-order acceptance point for all Credit Sales,” in Morris in exchange for the hefty rebate.

The RTA claims in its lawsuit that Morris and Bell Fuels are diverting a “significant” amount of sales tax revenue from Cook County and, subsequently, the RTA. At 6.25 percent, Morris’ sales tax rate is much lower than Stickney’s rate of 9 percent.

“There has been no challenge to the validity of the agreement when it was addressed in 2001,” Belt said.

JOLIET – With more than 200 people in attendance, the United Way of Will County honored its many donors and volunteers last week at the annual celebration banquet.

At just 3 percent below its 2014 fundraising goal with a month still to go, the United Way delivered a heartfelt thanks to the people and businesses of Will County.

“One out of every four Will County residents benefited from one or more of our services in 2013,” CEO Michael Hennessy said Thursday to attendees who gathered at the Jacob Henry Mansion. “The impact we make is critical, and none of it would be possible without the generosity of our donors. One gift can help so many individuals.”

Pam Heavens, executive director of the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living, said that without the United Way’s help in 2013 the orga-

nization would not have been able to carry out its mission.

“We get people out of nursing homes and into their own permanent homes,” Heavens said. “The United Way has supported us for 22 years, which has helped us place 25,000 people in secure, private housing. You can’t put a dollar amount on that.”

Honored with this year’s Roger Osman Distinguished Volunteer Service Award was Mark Strand, who Hennessy said worked tirelessly recruiting funds and manpower to assist those in need.

“The fundraising is not getting any easier,” Strand said. “But I am just so inspired by everyone who helps, and by everyone who is served. I feel lucky to be able to help out.”

Also recognized were the Bill Jacobs Auto Group with the Rising Star Award, and Lewis University with the Frank Turk Sr. Outstanding Campaign Achievement Award.

Unclear what lawmakers will work out next before Saturday • BUDGET Continued from page 15 Coal Technology Development Assistance Fund, The Convention Center Support Fund and the Downstate Public Transportation Fund.

“Some are good causes, but the question is how much should we approve? These should be evaluated year in and year out,” he said.

It’s unclear what lawmakers will work out next. Democrats who control both the House and Senate have until the end of the spring session,

which ends Saturday, to pass a budget with simple majority votes. If budget talks go into June, the vote requirement jumps to three-fifths, making it more difficult to pass without help from Republicans.

Rep. Renee Kosel, R-Mokena, voted against the income tax increase in 2011, and said she won’t allow the fact she’s not running for re-election to change her mind.

State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, who also vowed during her 2012 campaign to allow the tax hike to expire, was not immediately available for comment Friday.

We’ve got you covered from Head to Toe.

CREST HILL – The city of Crest Hill on Monday will hold its traditional Memorial Day ceremony, which recognizes fallen police officers along with soldiers.

“We will be honoring our veterans and our police officers slain in the line of duty,” Mayor Ray Soliman said, adding that about 150 people attend the service every year.

“It’s a very somber ceremony.”

The service is scheduled for 2 p.m. at the Crest Hill Veterans Police Memorial Garden, located outside of City Hall.

The city’s 26th annual Memorial Day event will feature guest speaker Tony Arellano, a substitute teacher in Joliet School District 86 and a U.S. Navy veteran who served in Vietnam. Arellano is a post commander of VFW Cantigny Post 367 and serves on the Illinois Department of Human Services State Rehabilitation Council.

The service also will have representation from several men’s and women’s organizations, a service by Police Chief Dwayne Wilkerson and an invocation and prayer from the Rev. John Doyle, a pastor

for St. Anne and St. Ambrose Catholic churches.

The Frankfort Brass Band and Crest Hill resident Anna Mae Lukancic will perform at the ceremony.

The Veterans Police Memorial Garden contains a stone memorial with about 1,150 names of Crest Hill residents who have died serving the United States in wars dating back to World War I. Those fallen soldiers are being honored along with city police Patrolman James Nink, who was killed in the line of duty in 1967, and Sergeant Timothy Simenson, killed in 1994.

Longtime Crest Hill resident Frances Brencich will lay the wreath at the veterans stone to honor her son who was killed in the Vietnam War. Refreshments will be provided after the ceremony. In case of inclement weather, the service will be moved to the St. Ambrose Church hall at 1711 Burry Circle Drive.

“We certainly want to honor those ladies and gentlemen who made those sacrifices to enjoy the freedoms today,” Soliman said. “Without them we certainly wouldn’t have the freedoms we have today. The same with police officers and the sacrifices they make.”

Hasbro executive who helped create G.I. Joe dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS

• Sunday, May 25, 2014

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Donald Levine, the Hasbro executive credited as the father of G.I. Joe for developing the world’s first action figure, has died. He was 86.

He died of cancer early Thursday at Home & Hospice Care of Rhode Island, said his wife, Nan. They were just about to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary.

Levine shepherded the toy through design and development as Hasbro’s head of research and development.

He and his team came up with an 11½-inch articulated figure with 21 moving parts, and since the company’s employees included many military veterans, it was decided to outfit the toy in the uniforms of the Army, Navy, Marines and Air Force, with such accessories as guns, helmets and vehicles.

Levine, who served in the Army in Korea, said he got the idea for the movable figure as a way to honor veterans.

G.I. Joe hit the shelves in time for the 1964 Christmas shopping season and soon became a big seller at $4 a piece.

It remained popular until the late 1960s, as opposition to Vietnam intensified and parents shied away from military-related toys.

Hasbro countered in 1970 by introducing “Adventure Team” G.I. Joes that played down the military connection.

Into the ’70s, G.I. Joes featured “lifelike hair” and “kung-fu grip” and were outfitted with scuba gear to save the oceans

Quinn wants Illiana project as top state priority

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn’s administration wants lawmakers to make the proposed Illiana Expressway more attractive to private investors by guaranteeing toll revenue shortfalls will be covered by dipping into the state’s road fund ahead of other projects.

The 47-mile tollway between Indiana and Illinois would be placed at the top of the funding list under draft legislation backed by the Illinois Department of Transportation – only debt service on general obligation bonds would come before it.

That’s intended to sweeten a potential deal for the $1.5 billion project that some lawmakers and regional planners contend is not a critical need, will spur little economic development and threatens to become a painful financial drain on a state buried in debt.

Critics of the proposal also question the legislation’s timing – Quinn faces a tough re-election campaign this year against Republican venture capitalist Bruce Rauner. The expressway would serve an area in the southern Chicago suburbs, and Quinn has for years used the project to talk up job creation.

Kirk calls on veterans hospital director to resign

CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk wants the director of a suburban Chicago veterans hospital to step down.

The Edward Hines, Jr. Veterans Affairs Hospital is being investigated in response to allegations that secret waiting lists were used to hide delays in appointments.

Trucks traveling through Center Point Intermodal Center outside Elwood Friday. The facility makes up one of the largest inland container ports in the country, where goods from as far away as Asia are plucked from trains and packed on trucks for the Midwest market.

Kirk told reporters Friday that Director Joan Ricard should resign. Ricard has denied there were secret wait lists.

There has been no word from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs inspector general about any wrongdoing.

The Republican senator and Navy veteran seized on more than $16 million in bonuses for Hines staff since 2011. Kirk called it “an obscene amount of money” for staff turning out what he called “a low level of care.”

Hines spokeswoman Charity Hardison said Ricard was committed to providing the best care possible.

Alderman: Chicago needs ban on up-the-skirt photos

CHICAGO – A Chicago alderman said the city needs a specific ban on so-called “upskirt” photos because “there are a lot of weirdos roaming around” and because a state law on videotaping without permission may leave a legal loophole.

But another city councilman said the $500 fine in the proposed ordinance is not enough

to deter offenders, contending they can make much more money by selling such images online, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

The measure cleared the City Council’s Finance Committee Friday. It would ban recording or taking pictures under or through a person’s clothing without consent. Its sponsors say they were spurred to act by confusion over peeping Tom laws in Massachusetts, where the state Supreme Court ruled a man who took pictures up women’s skirts didn’t violate the law.

“If it’s happening in Boston, you can bet your boots it’s happening in Chicago,” said Alderman Edward Burke, who introduced the measure last month along with Alderman Latasha Thomas. “There are a lot of weirdos roaming around.”

Illinois has a state law on the books that addresses videotaping without permission, but the city ordinance would include a specific mention of “upskirting.”

Chicago Police Sgt. John Nowakowski told the committee Friday that specific language would make it easier for authori-

ties to charge offenders.

“We’ve had investigations regarding this, and it makes it very difficult because there’s no specific thing about what the person is doing,” he said.

Alderman Bob Fioretti said he doubts the proposed fine would do much to stop the practice.

“You can sell this stuff online, make thousands of dollars within moments and then pay a $500 fine? There’s no imprisonment,” Fioretti said.

State lawmaker’s stepson shot dead in Peoria

PEORIA – The stepson of a state lawmaker from Peoria has been shot dead.

The Peoria Journal Star reported that 22-year-old Derrick Booth Jr. was pronounced dead early Saturday at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center.

He was the stepson of Democratic Rep. Jehan Gordon-Booth and the son of Manual Academy basketball coach Derrick Booth Sr. The newspaper reported that the victim was found on the porch of a home with a gunshot wound to the chest.

It was the second homicide in the city this year.

Duckworth tearful as she remembers combat dead

CHICAGO – Iraq war veteran and U.S. Rep. Tammy Duckworth struggled to hold back tears during a wreath-laying ceremony in Chicago to honor American service members who have died in combat.

Speaking in downtown Chicago’s Daley Plaza Saturday, Duckworth said, “There is not a day when I don’t get up [and] say a prayer of thanks for my life and for theirs.”

The Democratic congresswoman lost both legs and partial use of an arm when a rocket-propelled grenade hit the Black Hawk helicopter she was piloting in Iraq in 2004.

Duckworth served as grand marshal of Chicago’s Memorial Day Parade on Saturday.

In other events, Gov. Pat Quinn opened an exhibit of handdrawn portraits of Illinois service members who have died. It’s on display at a tollway rest stop outside Chicago.

Sheriff: Calif. attacker killed 3 people at home He then shot 3 to death, injured 7 in drive-by rampage The ASSOCIATED PRESS GOLETA, Calif. – A California gunman who went on a rampage near a Santa Barbara university stabbed three people to death at his apartment before shooting to death three more in a terrorizing crime spree through a neighborhood, sheriff’s officials said Saturday.

The three people in the apartment were among the six left dead Friday night during the shootings near the campus of the University of California-Santa Barbara.

Elliot Rodger, 22, the suspected gunman, apparently killed himself, authorities said.

At a news conference, Sheriff Bill Brown called it a “chaotic, rapidly unfolding convoluted incident” that involved multiple crime scenes.

Police provided new details about the scope of the killings as they described how he went from one location to another and opened fire on random people and exchanged gunfire with law enforcement before he crashed his BMW. Brown said the suspect had more than 400 rounds of unspent ammunition in his car.

Brown identified Rodger

as a student at Santa Barbara City College.

Rodger fired for 10 minutes as he made his way through the beach community of Isla Vista where students were walking, biking and skateboarding in a deadly rampage that chillingly mirrored threats made on a YouTube video posted that same night, authorities said.

Seven others remained hospitalized with serious injuries.

Authorities confirmed Rodger was the shooter and said they had seized a semiautomatic handgun. It wasn’t immediately clear whether he was killed by gunfire in two shootouts with deputies or if he committed suicide.

Investigators were analyzing a YouTube video in which a young man who identifies himself as Elliot Rodger sits in a car and looks at the camera, laughing often, and says he is going to take his revenge against humanity.

“It’s obviously the work of a madman,” Bill Brown said.

Earlier Saturday, Alan Shifman – a lawyer who represents Peter Rodger, one of the assistant directors on “The Hunger Games” – issued a statement saying his client believes his son, Elliot Rodger, was the shooter. It was unclear how the son would have obtained a gun. The family is staunchly against guns, he added.

Man chronicles losses on WWII submarines

By JIM SALTER The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Serving aboard an American submarine was one of the most dangerous assignments in World War II, with nearly 1 in 5 crew members losing their lives somewhere in the ocean depths.

Paul Wittmer of suburban St. Louis has spent years working to ensure that those men – more than 3,600 sailors – are remembered, including a book that has been years in the making.

Wittmer, a submarine veteran who turned 90 last week, has conducted research for eight years at the National Archives at St. Louis, which houses millions of military personnel records.

He compiled biographical information on every man lost aboard a submarine during the war. The research fills six volumes.

The painstaking effort even helped correct history.

The Navy previously listed 3,505 submarine officers and sailors lost on 52 subs downed during World War II. Wittmer calculated a larger number – 3,628.

The duty was highly risky, Wittmer said, and about 20,000 men volunteered.

“When you go on a patrol, you are essentially alone,” Wittmer said. “You didn’t have any support group, and you went deep into the enemy harbor. You rescued people. You plotted enemy mine fields. That was a very nasty business.”

Wittmer has been active in submarine veteran organizations, helping to get monuments erected to honor the dead. For years, he wanted to compile their life history in a book, but much of the personnel information wasn’t available to the public. Wittmer tried Freedom of Information requests, but to no avail.

Paul Wittmer, a submarine veteran from Manchester, Mo., who recently turned 90, spent eight years visiting the National Archives at St. Louis, which houses personnel records from all branches of the military. He compiled biographical information on men lost on submarines during World War II, producing a six-volume book.

In 2007, the government made public the personnel records for all veterans discharged as of 1945, the end of World War II. “Mr. Wittmer was right there at the door waiting for us,” said Whitney Mahar, the archives’ research room manager, who said 10 to 20 people show up each day to do research. “He’s very persistent, very serious about his research and what he’s trying to accomplish.”

Wittmer poured through thousands of documents, compiling information such as the name of each veteran, his date of birth and birthplace, parents’ names, service dates and dates – or approximate dates – of death.

In some cases, he was able to

Wittmer, who grew up in New York City, joined the Navy in 1942. Curiosity led him to enlist on a submarine.

“They had the best diesel engines, and I wanted to know about diesel engines,” he said. “I actually learned quite a bit – how to operate them and take them apart and put them back together again.”

The latest edition of Wittmer’s self-published, six-volume set of the hardbound books, “United States Submarine Men Lost During World War II,” was published earlier this year.

It is co-authored with Charles Hinman, curator of the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum in Hawaii.

Pre-book tour, GOP tries to define Clinton The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – On any given day, Republicans call Hillary Rodham Clinton a deeply flawed future presidential candidate.

Or a formidable one.

Or, with the right amount of Republican-led scrutiny, one who might not run after all.

As the former secretary of state, first lady and New York senator prepares for a high-profile book tour in June, Republicans are using a variety of approaches to try to define Clinton and drive down the mostly positive approval ratings she built while in President Barack Obama’s Cabinet.

At the same time, the GOP is building an anti-Clinton infrastructure that aims to undercut her appeal more than two years ahead of the presidential election.

“Ultimately our goal is to stop Hillary Clinton,” said Garrett Marquis of the Stop Hillary PAC, which formed last year and has raised $500,000 and says it has 250,000 enlisted supporters.

“If we can do that by dissuading her from running for president in the first place, then we’ll consider our effort a success,” Marquis said. But if Clinton runs, Marquis said, the extra time will help “build a campaign to stop her.”

Clinton’s record at the State Department is likely to receive a public dissection

when she begins promoting “Hard Choices,” her memoir of her time as the nation’s top diplomat.

In speeches, she has described it as a series of tough calls.

The book is expected to discuss the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, the Obama administration’s diplomacy with China, Iran and the Middle East, and the September 2012 attack Hillary that killed four Rodham Americans at a Clinton diplomatic compound in Benghazi, Libya.

Republicans say Clinton’s tenure at the State Department lacked any notable accomplishments and that many of the choices she made were bad ones.

When Clinton recently criticized Nigeria’s Boko Haram for its mass kidnappings of young girls, Republicans said she had failed to label the group a foreign terrorist organization while she was in charge.

On Benghazi, Clinton’s testimony to a Senate committee – and her famous sound bite, “What difference does it make?” – remains a formidable issue among Republican activists and the basis for countless fundraising pitches. House Republicans are launching a select committee that will further probe the Benghazi attack.

NATION BRIEF States scrutinize health care enrollment workers DOVER, Del. – Republican lawmakers around the country are adding criminal background checks or licensing requirements for workers hired to help people enroll in health insurance under the Affordable Care Act, taking aim at perceived security risks involving customers’ personal information.

More than a dozen GOP-controlled states have tightened requirements for the enrollment

counselors, and bills in other states are pending. While the federal government does not require criminal background checks for navigators, states can set their own rules.

Republican proponents have said the requirements will help protect consumers from identity theft. Still, there’s no sign that enrollment guides, even those with criminal records, have misused consumers’ personal information in any state.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS AMMAN, Jordan – Pope Francis denounced arms dealers and appealed Saturday for an urgent end to the Syrian civil war as he began his three-day trip to the Middle East with an emotional meeting with refugees from Syria and Iraq who have fled to Jordan.

Francis deviated from his prepared remarks to make a strong plea for peace during his first day in Jordan, praying for God to “convert those who seek war, those who make and sell weapons!”

“We all want peace, but looking at the tragedy of war, looking at the wounded, seeing so many people who left their homeland who were forced to go away, I ask, ‘Who sells weapons to these people to make war?’ ” he asked.

“This is the root of evil, the hatred, the love of money.”

His tough words echoed the diatribe he delivered a few weeks ago against mobsters in Italy, denouncing their activities and praying that they

turn away from evil to embrace a more dignified life.

The appeal during a meeting with war refugees came just moments after the pontiff bent down at the Jordan River, where some believe was the site of Jesus’ baptism, and touched the waters. And it capped an intense day at the start of his first visit as pope to the Holy Land.

“Vive il papa,” a group of schoolchildren waving Vatican flags shouted as the pope arrived earlier on Saturday at the royal palace for private talks with King Abdullah II, Queen Rania and their children.

Francis thanked Jordan for its “generous welcome” to Syrian refugees and called for an urgent resolution to the civil war next door.

“I urge the international community not to leave Jordan alone in the task of meeting the humanitarian emergency caused by the arrival of so great a number of refugees, but to continue and even increase its support and assistance,” he said.

Jordan last month opened a third refugee camp for Syrians, evidence of the strains the conflict is creating for the country. It’s currently hosting 600,000 registered Syrian refugees, or 10 percent of its population, but Jordanian officials estimate the real number is closer to 1.3 million.

Francis saw the refugee exodus firsthand, meeting with some 600 Syrian and Iraqi refugees and disabled children at a church in Bethany beyond the Jordan.

Nazik Malko, a Syrian Orthodox Christian refugee from Maaloula who was on hand for the visit, welcomed the pope’s message.

“We hope that all parties will listen to His Holiness to leave weapons aside in order to restore peace in the whole world,” he said.

Francis also called for peace and reconciliation during an afternoon Mass at Amman’s windswept international stadium, urging the faithful to “put aside our grievances and divisions” for the sake of peace and unity.

BANGKOK – In a chilling move apparently aimed at neutralizing critics and potential opposition, Thailand’s new army junta ordered dozens of outspoken activists, academics and journalists to surrender themselves to military authorities.

The junta, which is already holding most of the government it ousted in a coup Thursday in secret locations against their will, said it would keep former Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and others in custody for up to a week to give them “time to think” and keep the country calm.

Two days after the army seized power in the nation’s first coup in eight years, it also faced scattered protests that came amid growing concern over the junta’s intentions.

Also Saturday, the military dissolved the Senate – the last functioning democratic institution left, and absorbed its legislative powers.

“Military rule has thrown Thailand’s rights situation into a free fall,” said Brad Adams, Asia director at Human Rights Watch. “The army is using draconian martial law powers to detain politicians, activists and journalists, to censor media, and to ban all public gatherings. This rolling crackdown

needs to come to an end immediately.”

More than 150 people, mostly politicians associated with the deposed government, have been detained incommunicado, according to rights groups.

Deputy army spokesman Col. Weerachon Sukondhapatipak said they were all being well-treated and the military’s aim was to achieve a political compromise.

Weerachon said all those held have had their cellphones confiscated because “we don’t want them communicating with other people. We want them to be themselves and think on their own,” he said, adding that they need to “calm down and have time to think.”

“We don’t intend to limit their freedom – it’s to relieve the pressure,” he said.

The weeklong detention is allowed by law, said deputy military spokesman Col. Winthai Suvaree, quoting army chief and junta leader Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha. Starting Monday, those in detention who have arrest warrants or face criminal charges will be handed over for prosecution, he said.

In a military order broadcast Saturday, the junta summoned 35 more people, including politicians, political activists and, for the first time, outspoken academics and some journalists.

Chilled train service starts

Dear Mr. Berko: I used to own New York Times stock back in the early 1980s when it traded in the $80 price range.

I bought 500 shares last year at $12 because I felt the stock was cheap and its business could recover and because I heard that it might be bought out at $28. Now I hear that there may be a buyer from Japan or Australia. Should I continue to hold the stock, or are those rumors dead? Also advise me on Yandex, which you recommended in March at $30. I bought 200 shares then. The stock went down to $21, and I nearly choked. – JW,

WILMINGTON – Cold food has started moving through the RidgePort Logistics Center.

TransCold Express, a refrigerated boxcar service that will transport vegetables, fruit, meat and dairy products between Wilmington and Selma, California, held a grand opening Wednesday.

The service takes the same four days to reach the west coast as a truck, but at a cost savings of up to 15 percent, according to a news release from TransCold.

“McKay TransCold is dedicated to finding the most efficient and cost-effective transportation methods for its clients,” CEO Randy McKay said in a statement.

Kankakee Dear JW: There has been a persistent rumor that The New York Times Co. (NYT$14.68) is for sale. Well, Executive Editor Jill Abramson was just canned, so it could happen. A few years ago, I’d not have believed an American icon such as The Wall Street Journal would change ownership. But “Rupe” Murdoch, an Aussie magnate, bought the Journal in 2007 for $5 billion, and it has not been the same since.

Meanwhile, the rumor of an NYT buyer making rounds is ascribed to Chen Guangbiao, a Chinese billionaire, the equivalent of our Donald Trump. Chen is an egomaniac who sometimes wears trademark lime green suits and counts his mistresses the way insomniacs count their sheep.

This bloviating tycoon has no more idea of how to run a newspaper (especially The New York Times) than would a dung beetle have to play a harpsichord. Even though NYT’s revenues last quarter were up 2.6 percent (net income was down 8.5 percent), CEO Mark Thompson and Publisher Arthur Sulzberger sold over 50,000 shares each in April at $16 plus change. The NYT is facing a muddy road ahead and has lost some ace reporters. The shares have doubled their price in the past year. But I believe the stock

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko will be a lackluster performer and offers little appreciation potential.

As far as Yandex (YNDX$30) goes, the last time my timing was so bad was in late August 1987. I invested $13,800 from a maturing certificate of deposit and purchased three stocks, which I had painstakingly researched, for my individual retirement account. A month later, the market imploded (it was Black September) like a descending fireball, and my IRA plunged 43 percent in just six hours.

In early January of this year, YNDX (the Russian Google, with 62 percent of the Russian search market) was trading at $45. In March, Vladimir “The Conqueror” Putin decided to expand his empire and moved into Crimea, and YNDX crumbled to $30.

Then a couple of weeks later, in April, the Russian Federal Assembly suggested legislation that would classify Internet companies as “strategic assets,” Vlad criticized YNDX for having excessive and dangerous exposure to Western influence, and the shares tumbled below $22.

I emailed you in late April: “Hold your Yandex, and if you can handle the risk, purchase another 100 shares.” It’s now $30 again! Neither Vladimir nor his parliament will halt the growth of this search engine company. YNDX is still a gamble, based upon the political differences of its operating theater. However, projected huge growth revenues and earnings are still very much on target, and I’d buy YNDX again.

“Because TransCold Express connects to transportation hubs on both ends, this service is not point A to point B. It’s from point A to anywhere,” McKay said.

TransCold Express will operate on the BNSF Railway with cargo transferred from truck to boxcar in a refrigerated building operated by National Logistics and Cold Storage.

The 49,000-square-foot facility is about 700 feet long and 70 feet wide – allowing for eight boxcars to be unloaded at the same time.

On Thursday, Ridge Development announced a built-to-suit agreement with Michelin for a 1.7-millionsquare-foot distribution center.

Keith Stauber, who is marketing the development

with Ridge Development, said these are the first developments within the 1,500acre park.

“The uniqueness is the rail service from the BNSF and the proximity to the existing intermodals in Elwood,” Stauber said. The development could accommodate facilities up to 15 million square feet, he said.

“With fresh product coming in on TransCold Express, RidgePort is an ideal location for food processors, baking companies and other food industry firms,” Jim Martell, president of Ridge Development, said in a statement.

The location also would serve as the western end of the proposed Illiana Expressway to connect nearby Interstate 55 with Interstate 65 in Indiana.

OUR VIEW

Honoring those who gave all It’s not too much to ask.

Carving out a few minutes – or longer – to remember what Memorial Day is about is the least you can do as you enjoy your long weekend (if you’re lucky enough to get one).

Because while this weekend is sold as the kick-off to summer, or a great time to get a deal on anything from a new car to a mattress, Memorial Day is much more than that.

It’s a day to remember those who gave all they had for the country they loved.

Memorial Day was first officially observed May 30, 1868, to honor the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who died during the Civil War. The holiday has since evolved to observe all U.S. servicemen and women who have died while in military service.

It’s hard to find an exact number of how many U.S. military personnel have died during the many conflicts this county has fought in – even with the Internet, the numbers varied – but a fact sheet from the U.S. Veterans Administration showed that before 2001, about 1.19 million had died in battle, in theatre or while in service.

You can add another 2,319 from Operation Enduring Freedom, according to the Associated Press database, but that doesn’t include those who have died while in service, but not on the battlefield.

We don’t have to stretch

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

our memories to recall the last local resident who died while providing military service from our area: Sadly, it was last week, when Marine Lance Cpl. Steven Hancock of Coal City died during a training exercise in North Carolina.

He was described by those who knew him as an amazing person, a follower of Christ who was devoted to helping others.

He did what all who put on a military uniform – selflessly gave of himself. Because that is what military men and women do: They put their lives on the line – whether it’s patrolling a border, assisting during a natural disaster or picking up a gun and going to war – because they believe in helping others.

And they do this for us, to ensure our freedom remains intact.

Today is a day to remember those who paid the ultimate price for their service.

Those who have lost a loved one they called father, mother, son, daughter, brother, sister or friend because of military service likely don’t need a day on the calendar to remember.

Those of us lucky enough to never know such a burden owe those who gave their lives to our country a moment of reflection and thanks for being willing to sacrifice all they had, because they believed in something bigger than themselves.

We honor your sacrifice. And we remember.

OPINION

Don T. Bricker Vice President and Publisher

To care for those who bore the battle Abraham Lincoln closed his second inaugural address with these words: “With malice toward none, with charity for all ... let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.”

“To care for him who shall have borne the battle” became the motto of the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is in our national fabric, deep within our national soul, to see that those who defended and secured our freedoms are never neglected or forgotten. We are as one on this.

So we are outraged to find evidence that scores, perhaps hundreds, of our veterans died while waiting for treatment in our VA hospitals. The news broke when federal investigators, acting on a whistleblower’s tip, descended in force on

VIEWS Donna Brazile the Phoenix Veterans Affairs Health Care system, where it’s alleged as many as 40 veterans died while waiting for care.

There are reports of “secret waiting lists,” showing the real backlog of veterans. If such lists exist, it means the official waitlist reports were falsified.

“If you died on that [secret] list ... there was no trace that you’d ever been to the Phoenix VA,” the whistleblower told The Associated Press.

Because we have engaged in two wars over the past 13 years, and multiple hot spot military actions, the number of veterans seeking treatment has grown almost exponentially. There is a widespread consensus that the backlog is

unacceptable, and there has been immense pressure to deal with it. And now evidence is emerging that some VA workers sought to hide their inabilities to deal with it.

It’s one thing to focus on the numbers, but to understand the plight of our veterans, we need to know their stories.

Trust me, my dad served in Korea. We can never forget their sacrifices.

Take the story of Edward Laird, a 76-year-old Navy veteran living in Phoenix who was directed by his doctor to get a biopsy of two growths on his nose. Laird waited months for a biopsy. By the time he got it, it was too late to save his nose. “Now I have no nose and I have to put an ice cream stick up my nose at night ... so I can breathe,” Laird told the Los Angeles Times.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

| OPINION

To the Editor: All Illinoisans are aware of the state’s financial difficulties, and know the Legislature must decide whether to extend the income tax increase. This decision will be part of the budget for fiscal year 2015, which begins in July.

We urge the Legislature to adopt a budget that includes the revenues and appropriations needed to keep seniors safe and strong at home. Although some programs may seem costly, it is far less expensive to provide modest supportive services that enable elderly people to remain in their homes than to neglect seniors and have many of them end up in nursing homes or in need of other costly care.

The Illinois Department on Aging, 13 area agencies on Aging, and 237 affiliated community agencies serve 500,000 seniors – 22 percent of the state’s 2.3 million residents older than 60. Without the income tax extension, the default or not-recommended budget would take effect and all services for seniors would be cut substantially, including: • Funding for information and assistance, options counseling, and transportation for seniors would be cut 23 percent in the governor’s not-recommended budget; • The not-recommended budget would reduce state funds for home delivered meals by 16.7 percent, resulting in 1.1 million fewer meals for 39,000 frail, home-bound seniors; • 10.8 percent funding cut for adult protective services in the not-recommended budget would reduce the capacity to respond to over 1,800 reports of

abuse, neglect and exploitation of seniors.

In the short run, it might seem budget cuts would save money, but those savings would quickly turn into higher costs as seniors become more frail, more home bound, more vulnerable to abuse and neglect, and more uncertain of where to go for information and help. Please urge your legislators to support a budget that will keep Illinois seniors healthy, safe and independent at home.

Sincerely, Lucia West Jones Executive director of Agency on Aging of Northeastern Illinois

OBAMA LIBRARY COULD HAVE MORE THAN PAPERS To the Editor: There is concern and dispute about any state contribution to landing the Obama Presidential Library on the Museum Campus on the lakefront, especially by the Republicans.

Granted it may not be a good fit: There are a lot of letters, papers, documents and intellectual matters to deal with, a minority of which deal with the military, the war in Iraq and Afghanistan against terror and the crusade for democracy. To garner support from Republicans greater emphasis could be made of wars, the military weapons and the fight for democracy.

A combination library, museum and civics instruction like the Lincoln Library and Cantigny could draw Republican support and independent donors such as the defense contractors that profited so handsomely from the war and better draw the crowds.

Sincerely,

Problem is systemic, long-standing • BRAZILE Continued from page 35 Too many veterans wait months for critical medical tests. As the Times and others point out, this problem is systemic and long-standing. And the flaws exist in many VA services, not just the hospitals. As The National Journal concludes: “Looking for a lone villain in the VA debacle, however, is a fool’s errand ... the sheen of shame over the VA’s failures spreads across time and party affiliation. It stains the legacies of presidents as far back as John F. Kennedy and condemns past Congresses whose poor oversight allowed the problem to fester.”

The problems with the VA have existed for decades, despite the attempts of several administrations to fix them. And Congress, which is responsible for funding the VA, must be held equally accountable.

We can, of course, avoid the issue, and instead set up

the veterans as props to score political points, or advance someone else’s business interests, which privatizing veteran’s care would do. Though federal prosecutors and VA investigators do not yet have evidence proving criminal neglect, or even the secret lists, some are calling for the VA secretary to resign.

Max Cleland, a former U.S. senator, and former head of the VA, lost both his arms and one of his legs in the Vietnam War. This week, he said we should take the bull’s-eye off VA Secretary Eric Shinseki, also a wounded veteran of the Vietnam War. Cleland calls Shinseki “a truth teller to power.” We have no evidence yet of wrongdoing by those in the hospitals.

How can we fire this distinguished veteran before we have all the facts? Is it too much to hope that Congress will put its money where its mouth is? Or that, on this one issue at least, “we the people” and bipartisan problem solving will trump the pandering to special interests and

self-promotional posturing?

President Obama dispatched a senior aide from the White House to assist in the investigation. The VA is also conducting two separate investigations. Several committees on Capitol Hill are gearing up to hold hearings.

Federal prosecutors, veteran associations and the national media are on the scent. Trust me, the truth will come out.

But, we already know the truth: “We have met the enemy, and he is us.”

This time, let us make real the words and vision of Abraham Lincoln. Let us focus on identifying the problem “with malice toward none,” and let us make the priority providing the services, at whatever cost, that will “care for him [and her] who shall have borne the battle.”

“This feels amazing.

I’ve just been working on getting the height and the form and it all came to me.”

Knapp claims 3rd title; Marias, Rogers, Zacharias also win

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Wendy Hegarty felt good about her team’s chances if they performed as well as she expected them to at Saturday’s Class 3A girls track and field state finals.

But after Lincoln-Way East finished with a second-place showing in the 4x400 relay, the Griffins coach was a bit stunned by just how dominating her squad’s performance was at EIU’s O’Brien Stadium.

East easily repeated as state champions after collecting 72 points, placing it well ahead of West Aurora (39) and St. Charles East (38). Last year, the Griffins won by 10.5 points.

Minooka and three other schools scored 25 points to tie for fifth place, which was by far the program’s best-ever showing.

Both of those squads capped their special days with an individual state champion while the Griffins also had two winning relays and three second-place efforts.

East’s 4x100 relay of Meghan Marias, Asia Brown, Ololade Ayoola and Alexis Hyshaw started things out by setting a new meet record in the 4x100 relay (46.04) and then a short time later, the Griffins delivered a one-two punch in the 100, where Marias (11.87) edged Hyshaw (11.93) for the championship.

“The past two years the girls have just known how to take care of business,” said Hegarty, whose team is the first large school to repeat since Evanston won titles from 2003-2006. “Those relays looked like they had been running together all of their lives.

They didn’t miss a beat from day one, even though we replaced some people. The girls went for the record in the 4x1 and the momentum just kept going. I am so proud of Megan to be able to end her career with that 4x1 and then to get

her own title in the 100, that was awesome.”

The Griffins also won the 4x200 relay (1:39.71) with Alexis Pierre-Antoine, Asia Brown, Sydney Barrera and Marias, who capped her big day by taking fifth in the 200 (25.06), one place behind Hyshaw (24.85).

“We had some good vibes going in the 4x1 and that started the day off really good,” Marias said. “We just tried to stay relaxed and do what we’ve been taught all year and executing. Coach wanted us to score 18 points in the 100.

We’ve been back-and-forth all year, so either way, a onetwo finish was perfect. It feels amazing to be a state champion.”

Marias didn’t get to compete at state last season, while Hyshaw and Asia Brown ran on last year’s winning 4x100 and 4x200 relays and East placed one-two in the 100 for the second straight year as Hyshaw finished second to Aaliyah Brown.

East took second in the 4x400 relay (3:50.16) with Dana O’Grady, Barrera, Ayoola and Brown. The Griffins also got a second-place finish from Julia Junkroski in the pole vault (12-3), while in the high jump Ayoola was fifth (5-6) and Junkroski took eighth (5-4).

Janile Rogers capped her career by winning the title in the long jump (18-10.75) to join Manette Cheshareck (discus, 1987) as Minooka’s only state champions. She also placed fourth in the 100 (12.01) and ran on the fifth-place 4x400 and sixth-place 4x200 relays.

“This feels amazing,” Rogers said. “I’ve just been working on getting the height and the form and it all came to me.

This is very exciting, especially coming from Minooka, where we haven’t had many state champions. It’s really been an honor to compete for Minooka.”

Lincoln-Way East’s Alexis Hyshaw competes in the Class 1A 4x100-meter relay during Saturday’s state final. Hyshaw helped set a new meet record in the 4x100 relay (46.04) along with Meghan Marias, Asia Brown and Ololade Ayoola. tricia Dean, Megan Caldwell and Emma Tonelli, while in the 4x400 relay (3:58.65), Ashleigh Wilson, Moira McAsey, Tonelli and Rogers made up the lineup. Those two placing relays equaled the program’s total of medals won in relays prior to this weekend’s meet.

Lemont received a second-place effort from Vika Marmaite in the triple jump (39-7) while Jacque Desmond was sixth in the pole vault (110). Also in the triple jump, Romeoville’s Cierra Pulliam (382.5) was third and Plainfield North’s Anna Laudizio took ninth (36-5.75).

Bolingbrook got a sixth from Jessica Watkins in the 100 (12.25) and a seventh from Charlyncia Stennis in the 400 (57.66) while its 4x100 relay (48.35) of Watkins, Asha Wallace, Claire Young and Stennis was sixth. Lockport’s 4x800 relay (9:16.47) of Haley Beaumont, Aubrey Elwood, Emmie Hahn and Morgan Bollinger claimed fifth place.

Class 1A and 2A Morris’ Haleigh Knapp won her third straight 2A title in the high jump with a 5-8 effort to join Adrianne Leschewski (1998-2000, shot

put) as the only three-time champions in the same event for their program.

“This year feels the most exciting because the competition was so good,” Knapp said.

“I knew that I had to do what I had to do to win, but I was so nervous and I had absolutely no clue about what the outcome would be. At first I was really nervous and I kind of let that take over, but I pulled through and did it. I really couldn’t have asked for a better day.”

Reed-Custer’s Morgan Zacharias improved upon her second place efforts the last two years in the 1A pole vault to easily win the title with a new class record of 12-10, which was one foot, four inches better than the runner-up.

“It feels awesome to be a state champion,” Zacharias said. “I’ve gotten second the past two years in high school and as an eighth grader after taking first in seventh grade. I felt really good coming in and knew that I just had to stay focused and be strong the entire time. It’s a relief … knowing that I’ve worked hard to get to where I’m at.”

Also in 1A, Seneca’s Willow Stuedemann had a big day, finishing second in the 100 (12:42), taking fourth in the 400 (58.49) and placing sixth in the 200 (25.85). The Irish also got a fifth from Lexi Wilkinson in the triple jump (36-3.5) while Rylee Anderson tied for eighth in the high jump (4-10).

Dwight’s Daly Galloway was third in the 3,200 (11:07.61) and sixth in the 1,600 (5:13.22) in 1A, while Lincoln-Way West’s Natalie Krol placed eighth in 2A in the 1,600 (5:13.4).

Title is fourth for Hilltoppers

Joliet’s Tom Carney plays in the championship round during a boys sectional tennis final at Joliet West High School on Saturday. Carney defeated his opponent Jack Geissler of Joliet Catholic in two sets, 6-4, 6-0.

JOLIET – Joliet West junior Tom Carney’s grandmother, Patricia Carney, passed away May 6.

En route to winning the singles championships at Saturday’s Joliet Township Boys Tennis Sectional at the West courts, he felt his grandma was watching – and hopefully smiling.

“I wanted to make her happy,” Carney said. “I loved her so much. It was a crazy, unbelievable day. It feels amazing.”

Carney, the No. 3 seed, beat No. 1 Nick Urban of Lemont, 4-6, 6-1, 6-4, in the semifinals and won the final nine games to beat No. 2 Jack Geissler of Joliet Catholic, 6-4, 6-0, in the final. Carney and Geissler had split two previous meetings this season.

“Jack [Geissler] is a great player and Urban is, too,” Carney said. “Any of the three of us could have finished in any order. This just happened to be my day.”

Grandma’s doing? Maybe so. A Carney has won the sectional singles title five straight years. Tom also won as a freshman in 2012, while older brother Jack prevailed in 2010, 2011 and 2013.

“What a performance by Tom,” Joliet Township coach Kit Gillman said. “He did it himself. He had a hard road, beating the No. 1 and No. 2

seeds. I’m so fortunate to have a great player like him.”

Urban finished third in the loaded singles bracket with a 6-1, 6-2 win over Romeoville Miguel Rayos del Sol, who dropped a 6-4, 1-6, 6-0 decision to Geissler in their semifinal.

All of the top four, plus the top four finishers in doubles, advance to state next weekend at Arlington Heights and other nearby suburbs.

Carney and Urban are juniors, and Geissler and Rayos del Sol, the first Romeoville state qualifier in George Joyce’s 12 years as head coach, are sophomores.

With more talent on the way, the singles bracket in future years should be loaded

as well.

While the strength in singles was the talk of the sectional, Joliet Catholic won the team title thanks in no small part to having the second- and fourth-place doubles teams.

The Hilltoppers hoisted the sectional plaque with 22 points to 20 for Lemont. Lockport and Joliet tied for third with 18.

Then came Coal City and Providence with 8, Romeoville 6, Lincoln-Way West 2 and Bolingbrook 0. The title is the fourth for JCA, the first since 2005.

“Our goal was to win the sectional, and five is the most kids we’ve ever had as state qualifiers,” JCA coach Scott

Allgood said. “This day was all about team for us. We have a special group of kids and great leadership all the way around.

“Our kids made it their goal early on to win sectional and get to state. This is a special thing to see.””

Lockport’s top-seeded doubles team of juniors Mike Hasler and Pat Piwoni, who did not lose a set in the tournament, beat JCA’s Dominic Bertino-Nate Naal, 6-3, 6-3, for the title. Naal is headed to state for a fourth consecutive year, matching the accomplishment of his older brother, A.J. “We got a high percentage of first serves in. We limited

double-faults,” Hasler said of the title-match victory. Hasler also qualified for state last year when he played with 2013 graduate Lucas Randall.

“I felt a little pressure at the beginning of the year since [Hasler] qualified last year,” Piwoni said. “But once we started, the pressure was off and we started believing we could do this.”

Lemont’s tandem of Nathan Burner and Joe Ziebell, who ousted No. 3 seed Robbie Watson and Connor Wheeler of Providence in the quarterfinals to qualify for state, finished third with a 7-6 (7-5), 6-3 win over JCA’s fourth-seeded Ryan Hippman and Dyllan Mattea.

Proctor’s goal propels Lincoln-Way Central

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, May 25, 2014

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Lincoln-Way Central senior back Paige Proctor had a plan.

“I was going to cross it,” she said of her kick from the deep right corner. “But there was a curve on it and it hit the post and went in. But it was meant to be a cross [pass].”

Proctor netted the goal Saturday, borrowing a page from the Blackhawks’ Patrick Kane on improbable scoring angles, to give the Knights a 2-0 lead and they went on to beat Joliet Central, 4-0, in the championship match of the Class 3A Joliet West Regional.

The top-seeded Knights (138-3) will meet the winner of the Moline Regional at 5 p.m.

Tuesday in the semifinals of the Normal Community Sectional.

Proctor’s goal came with 10:13 left in the first half after she took a long pass from Kyla Grundhofer. The long pass served Lincoln-Way Central well all game.

“We’ve been practicing that a lot,” Proctor said. “It’s

something we thought we could do.”

“That’s beautiful,” Knights coach Dan Radz said of the long passing game. “We had a lot of girls who really played well.” He rattled off the uniform numbers of Brooke Mejdrich, Paige Proctor, Sarah Ortman, Brooke Bingham, Heidi Killinger, Keygan Balaja and Anita Fournier.

Proctor, despite play ing back, also scored in the Knights’ 6-1 semifinal win over Joliet West. She originally was credited with two goals that night but said one of them was scored by Grundhofer.

“It was nice to be able to finish off some chances, for me and our team,” she said.

Joliet Central (4-13-1) applied pressure early, but the Knights’ defense and goalkeeper Erin Doody stood up to the challenge.

Grundhofer took a long lead pass from Ortman and took it to the front of the net, from where she fired a shot over the right shoulder of Steelmen goalkeeper Jolene Butler, who made several excellent saves along the way,

for a 1-0 lead.

Ortman also set up Mejdrich for a first-half goal as Lincoln-Way Central took a 3-0 lead into intermission.

Anita Fournier, who posted a hat trick in the semifinals against Joliet West, scored the only second-half goal on a strong move through the Central defense after taking a pass from Corinne Grohacki.

“They were the more talented team,” Joliet Central coach Eduardo Contreras said. “I told their coaches that we try to pattern our game after theirs.

“We played them as hard as we could. We just ran into a better team. I wish them luck from here on. They deserved to win.”

Contreras, who has been coaching the Steelmen’s boys and girls, will coach the boys only next season.

“It will be tough saying goodbye to the girls,” he said.

“We’ve come a long way as a program since the split. Back then, we had one girl playing club. Now we have four or five, and today we started only two seniors.”

GIRLS SOCCER CLASS 1A MANTENO SECTIONAL FINAL: MANTENO 2, COAL CITY 0

Coal City puts up fight before falling to Manteno

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com MANTENO – When a team is enjoying an historic season, the hope is that when the run finally comes to an end, they can at least say that they went out in style.

Coal City’s girls soccer team can certainly make that claim after it saw its successful campaign come to an end against the hosts in the Class 1A Manteno Sectional final.

While the veteran Panthers have been one of the state’s top programs over the past few years, the Coalers had never before advanced this far in the sport.

And although coach Michael Kostbade’s squad saw its hopes of playing in the final

week dashed after a 2-0 loss to Manteno, they can walk away feeling proud of their effort.

“I told the girls that we had to give them our best game and also play as a team,” said Kostbade, whose team fell, 6-1, to the Panthers earlier this season. “We knew how strong they were offensively and what it was going to take, and our girls did not let up. We were coordinated today with our defense. Our motto all season was to finish strong, whether it was a drill, a game or the season and that’s why I’m pleased with our great effort.”

Manteno (21-2) applied plenty of pressure on the Coalers (13-3) during both halves, but keeper Britta Spelde came up with numerous big stops and her backline of Ashley Jezik,

Kristen Pearcy, Taylor McCollough and Danielle VanCura did a nice job of breaking up

several other good threats that the hosts threw at them.

The defense kept the Pan-

thers off the scoreboard during the initial 40 minutes, and things were still scoreless midway through the second half before Manteno finally connected.

“We made history, and I couldn’t have asked for a better group of girls to do it with,” said Pearcy, one of the squad’s three senior captains.

“No team has gone this far, and honestly, no one thought we’d do it. We lost a lot of really good players from last year and a lot of people didn’t think that we’d get past regionals.

This season was so much fun.”

Manteno scored the only goal that it would need in the 62nd minute when Sophia Schnitzler sent a pass in to Emily Gaither, who put in a short try to make it a 1-0 match.

PARK FOREST – When you’re playing for a regional championship, motivation is not a problem.

But Providence senior midfielder Alyssa Dorning said she and her teammates had that little extra incentive entering Friday’s Class 2A Rich East Regional final against Joliet Catholic.

“They took the regional plaque away from us last year and we wanted to get it back,” she said. “They’ve gotten on us recently and we knew this would be a tough, physical match.”

Dorning took matters into her own hands early, scoring two goals in the first 12 minutes to ignite the Celtics’ 3-1 victory.

Providence (13-9-2) advances to the Lincoln-Way West Sectional, where No. 1 seed Lemont will be the opponent in Tuesday’s 4:30 p.m. semifinal.

JCA (11-9-2), which beat Providence, 2-1, in overtime in their East Suburban Catholic meeting, walked away feeling it could have used a restart.

“Providence came out

neuvered past a defender.

“There were a lot of nerves,” said Dorning, who has 16 goals on the season. “We knew if we set the tone early, we would be OK. This is very rewarding. I owe it all to my teammates.”

“Alyssa [Dorning] has come a long way this season,” Celtics coach Dan Potempa said. “A lot of teams have had a hard time countering her.”

About 25 minutes into the first half, Sadie Land set up Kyleigh Maday for a goal from in front to extend Providence’s lead to 3-0. Dorning, Maday, Marybeth Gallick and Regan Flaherty combined to pressure JCA’s defense for most of the half.

“We capitalized on our opportunities, which good teams do,” Potempa said. “After that we kind of hunkered down.”

JCA got on the board late in the first half. Jnaya Walker’s free kick from the side deflected off a Providence player and into the net, so Walker was credited with the goal to make it 3-1. But that was it for the scoring as Providence goalkeeper Nicki Griffith and her defense took JCA’s best shots in the second half.

JOLIET SLAMMERS

Slammers split first 2 games vs. Normal

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers scoring seven runs in Friday night’s 7-6 victory over the Normal CornBelters was a welcome sight.

Russell Modlenhauer and Tyler Roberts hitting the team’s first two home runs at Silver Cross Field, and only the second and third in the first seven games of the season, made it all the more special.

“It’s about time we got some home runs,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said.

“Grant [DeBruin] hit one out to straightaway center field yesterday [in the final game of the series at Gateway].

“Russell hit one in a key spot and Tyler Roberts got up there and didn’t try to do too much. He really put a good swing on it.”

The idea is not to step up and go for the downs. But when you are swinging the bat well, the long ball happens. When you’re having difficulty coming up with the big hit, as was the case in Saturday night’s 5-0 loss to Normal, when the Slammers stranded two runners in three different innings and three runners once, a power outage is magnified.

The Slammers (4-4) were outscored 22-6 in three losses at Gateway. They returned home hitting .236 and averaging barely more than three

runs, ranking in the bottom tier of the Frontier League in both categories.

“It’s definitely good to be back here,” said second baseman Marquis Riley, who returned with a team-leading .375 average and had two hits Friday. “We’ve been trying to put it together offensively, but things did not go our way on the road. Balls we hit hard were at people.”

Riley said the recent home runs were a good sign, though.

“We have five or six guys who can hit one any night,” he said.

“Every now and then, I might even hit one.”

If and when Jose Garcia’s visa issues are cleared up, his presence will be a certain

boost to the lineup. But when that will occur is uncertain.

The starting rotation has changed. Opening day starter Danny Hernandez is pondering retirement and former starter Michael Johnson was released.

“We have Blair Walters, Matt Dillon, Andrew Busby and we’ve moved Jake Hermsen into the fourth spot,” Isom said. “He threw 80 pitches in relief at Gateway, and that got him ready to start.

“We have some Mondays off, so we won’t be needing a fifth starter that often, at least not for a while.”

Isom is familiar with reliever Santo Manzanillo from their days together in the

Milwaukee Brewers’ organization. He allowed Manzanillo, whose fastball registered in the mid-90s, to work his way through a ticklish ninth inning Friday, when Normal scored twice to get within 7-6.

“Our defense was a little rough that inning and we gave up a walk or two,” Isom noted. “It’s never easy in the ninth. Closing is still [Jordan] Wellander’s job, but we wanted to get Santo some confidence.”

The Slammers have holes to fill, adjustments to make.

But as Riely said, “We have a core group of guys focused on getting it done. You’re going to see a lot of wins from this team.”

AUTO RACING: INDIANAPOLIS 500, 11 A.M., ABC

Coyne’s drivers plan to finish 500 first of all

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Rick Mears, who won the Indianapolis 500 four times, had this simple but sage advice when explaining the plan for capturing the famed test: “To finish first, you must first finish.”

That’s something 33 drivers, from pole sitter Ed Carpenter on back, would be wise to keep in mind Sunday morning, when the 98th edition of the 500-Mile Race commences at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

The finish can be exhilarating. The start can be harrowing. Justin Wilson and Pippa Mann, two of the three drivers for Dale Coyne, the Plainfield-based racing team owner, have been there before.

Carlos Huertas, his third driver, is new at this. The 22-year-old Colombian has plenty of experience in road and street racing, but oval racing is a new discipline to him.

Sunday’s start in the most famous race of all will be his maiden effort in the All Left Turns Department.

AP file photo

Justin Wilson drives through the first turn May 17 on the first day of qualifying for Indianapolis 500 at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

To that end, he’s consulted with Wilson and Mann regarding what he’ll encounter when Dario Franchitti pulls the pace car off the track and the green flag waves.

“They tell me of a lot of turbulence, many cars, your head moving around a lot,” Huertas said. “I’ll just try to go lap by lap and try to stay on the race track – don’t do anything silly.”

Really, they could only tell him so much. He and the other six rookies in the race will

have to experience it for themselves. For spectators – and at least 225,000 are expected – the start of the 500 is the definition of sensory overload. For a driver?

“You try and explain that you lift off [the accelerator] going into Turn 1 and the car doesn’t slow down,” Wilson said. “You have to brake.

That’s a bit of an eye-opener.

My first Indy [in 2008] was like that.”

Huertas ran 65 laps, more than any other driver, in Fri-

day’s final hour of practice for the 500. Wilson ran 37, Mann 33, in comparison.

The idea was, as best as possible, to get comfortable.

Huertas admitted that comfort level came and went from lap to lap.

“Sometimes yes, sometimes no,” Huertas said. “It depends on how the balance of the car is. When I was running on my own, I felt pretty OK. In traffic, sometimes good, sometimes the car is doing, how it’s handling. That makes a big difference.”

Mann’s race is her first of the year, Coyne adding a third car in the 500 for her for the second straight year, this time thanks to sponsorship by the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

Normally, she’s in the IndyCar radio booth. This year, she’s fought a sometimes ill-handling car. Her best practice lap on Friday was 223.346 mph, 25th fastest of the 33 drivers and a better day than last Monday.

With Huertas a rookie, that would make the 35-year-old Wilson the most likely of the three to succeed by default.

In fact, he has a formidable resume, with seven wins in Indy car racing, including two

driving for Coyne, the last on the high-banked oval of Texas Motor Speedway in 2012.

Indianapolis is different, from the track configuration to the size of the field to the scope of the pomp preceding the race. Everything is magnified 500 times.

“Last year we had a good opportunity, and the year before was pretty decent,” Wilson said of his fifth- and seventh-place finishes in 2013 and 2012, respectively, with the fifth last year one of seven top-five finishes across the season.

“This year? You never know until you get in the race.

As one of the other drivers said [Thursday], ‘You do everything you can possibly to do to the right thing here, but at the end of the day, this track chooses the winner. You don’t choose if you’re going to win or not.

“I think we’re in good shape. We’ve just got to make sure we do all the right things on Sunday. We’ll try and stay out of trouble and go for it.”

Thirty-two others in the fastest 500 field in history, from his teammates to defending champion Tony Kanaan, have the same idea.

NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL GAME 3: KINGS 4, BLACKHAWKS 3

Carter leads Kings past Hawks The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Jeff Carter had a goal and two assists, Tyler Toffoli scored the tiebreaking goal late in the second period, and the Los Angeles Kings beat the Blackhawks, 4-3, on Saturday night to take a 2-1 lead in the Western Conference finals.

Drew Doughty had a third-period goal and an assist, and Jonathan Quick made 24 saves as the Kings returned to Staples Center with an impressive two-way effort against the defending Stanley Cup champions.

Captain Jonathan Toews scored twice in the first period for the Hawks, but they didn’t score again until Patrick Sharp’s goal with 5 seconds left.

Corey Crawford stopped 28 shots for the Hawks, who have lost the first road game in 10 consecutive playoff series since 2010.

Game 4 is Monday night at Staples Center.

The Hawks beat Los Angeles in five games in the conference finals last season, but the rematch hasn’t been nearly as smooth for Chicago.

Patrick Kane and Bryan Bickell haven’t score a goal in the conference finals, while Sharp’s last-gasp goal was his first of the series.

The Hawks had their usual hundreds of red-clad fans in an otherwise black-andwhite Staples Center crowd, and Toews put Chicago ahead just 5:26 into Game 3 with a spectacular unassisted goal, stealing the puck from Justin Williams and beating Quick between the legs.

Just 50 seconds later, Voynov skated into the slot and beat Crawford with a slap shot. Voynov, a target of criticism from Kings fans this season, hadn’t scored since the Kings’ first-round opener 37 days ago.

YANKEES 4, WHITE SOX 3 (10 INN.)

Sox waste Danks’ gem vs. Yankees

By JAY COHEN

WHAT TO WATCH

second Stanley Cup final in three years.

Three days after the Kings evened the series by scoring six consecutive goals in the final 22 minutes of Game 2, Los Angeles didn’t relax and rely on its NHL-best defense.

Neither team played conservatively despite the stakes, instead trading tantalizing scoring chances for the first two periods.

The Kings kept pushing for goals even while leading in the third, recording 18 shots and keeping the talented Hawks stuck in their own end for long stretches.

Los Angeles got another monster game from the line led by Carter, the imposing goal-scorer who had four points in the third period of Game 2.

In a 6:11 span of the second period of Game 3, Carter scored the tying goal off Tanner Pearson’s pass before setting up the go-ahead score

by Toffoli, who has a goal in every game of the conference finals.

After Toews stressed the importance of playing with

The Associated Press CHICAGO – John Danks patted Zach Putnam on his right shoulder as he walked by his locker. There was nothing more to say.

Danks had his best start of the season for the White Sox, but the New York Yankees got to Ronald Belisario for three runs in the ninth and won, 4-3, on Jacoby Ellsbury’s two-out homer off Putnam in the 10th inning.

“That’s part of it; it’s baseball,” Danks said. “There’s really nothing we can do about it. I truly hope Belisario’s in to save my next game.”

Ellsbury drove a 1-0 pitch from Putnam (2-1) over the wall in right for his second homer.

Putnam had allowed just one run in 16 innings over his pre-

vious 11 appearances.

Dellin Betances (3-0) pitched a perfect inning for the win and David Robertson finished for his 10th save in 11 chances, bouncing back nicely after yielding Adam Dunn’s game-ending homer in the Sox’s 6-5 victory Friday night.

Adam Eaton singled and stole second with two down, but Robertson struck out Gordon Beckham to end the game.

Eaton and Beckham, the top of the Sox’s lineup, had three hits apiece.

“Last night was a tough one.

The team battled really hard, we got the lead and I wasn’t able to nail it down,” Robertson said. “They did the same thing today and I was not going to let them down today.”

Danks pitched eight shutout innings. The left-hander, who was 1-4 with an 8.23 ERA in his

previous five starts, allowed three hits, struck out four and walked none.

“I thought he was jumping ahead,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “He had a great changeup working. Curveball, he was able to locate. I think when he’s able to do that, he becomes tough.”

Belisario then came in to pitch the ninth in his fourth save opportunity of the season.

The right-hander took over as closer after Matt Lindstrom injured his left ankle last Monday at Kansas City.

Ellsbury reached on a oneout single, but Belisario was in position for his third save when he struck out Mark Teixeira for the second out. Then it all fell apart in a hurry for the closer, who has allowed at least one run in each of his last three outings.

‘I just wanted to help people’

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

Jacqueline Rosinski (center) shares a laugh with her daughters Kristina (left) and Amber at their New Lenox home Thursday, May 15. Rosinski is the former event chair for the Frankfort/ Mokena Relay for Life and was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

dunland@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Let’s form a 100-member team for Relay for Life and raise $20,000.

Not the uttering of most newly diagnosed breast cancer patients, but for Jacqueline Rosinski, 57, of New Lenox, a longtime key volunteer for the American Cancer Society Frankfort Mokena Relay For Life, it was a chance to step up her service.

“I didn’t want to just cry and be depressed,” Rosinski said. “I just wanted to help people.”

Rosinski was true to her word – and then some. Her “Save the Rack” team (so named because Rosinski’s husband and three daughters love to hunt) has more than 100 members. To date, the team has sold $500 worth of rubber bracelets, 227 T-shirts and raised $91 at a garage sale.

“Team members that raise $100 get a free shirt,” Rosinski said.

From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. June 6, team members will seek donations outside Walmart at 501 E. Lincoln Highway in New Lenox, Rosinski said.

She is also trying to obtain some corporate sponsors.

Why all the enthusiasm for the American Cancer Society?

Many years ago, when Rosinski’s mother Clara Samborski was battling lung cancer, the American Cancer Society provided many services to Samborski, including transportation, all free, Rosinski said.

“To me, it was a great comfort for our family. It made a difference in our lives,” Rosinski said. “Once I was able to talk about my mom without crying, I wanted to help back in some way.”

The opportunity arrived seven years ago when Rosinski began working a company now known as Presence Health. That company had an American Cancer Society Relay For Life team. Rosinski thought, “Wow, this is the organization that us. Maybe I

New Lenox woman commits to Relay For Life after breast cancer diagnosis

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

“Each day is a new challenge, but I look at it this way. Twenty years ago, they would not be able to do the things they do now. People are surviving breast cancer and I’m hoping I will, too.”

Jacqueline Rosinski Volunteer for Relay For Life

can now help them.”

So she participated on a team and then organized teams and finally attended special training to chair the event. Rosinski’s enthusiasm echoed her love for the health care field, in imitation of Samborski, who was the former manager of central supplies at Holy Cross Hospital in Chicago, as well as part-time caterer, mother of five children and Rosinski’s role model.

“She never stopped,” Rosinski said. “She always moved forward and was positive. She’d say, ‘No matter what you want in your life, you’ll have to work hard, but you can do it.’ She encouraged me to never give up.”

In December, Rosinksi had her annual mammogram. She had to return for a diagnostic mammogram with an ultrasound. Following that was a biopsy and then a bilateral mastectomy March 11.

Rosinski was scheduled to return to work March 22 but post-surgery, painful muscle spasms delayed her plans.

Then her first round of chemotherapy began March 25.

That caused severe stomach upset, necessitating a six-day hospitalization. Round two began May 16 and brought more of the same, Rosinksi said. She hopes to return to work by June.

For now, Rosinski is looking forward to successfully completing four more rounds of chemotherapy. To make those treatments bearable, Rosinski is soaking up loving support from her family: husband and soul mate Ron M. Rosinski; son Mark M. Milton, of Lockport; Mark’s fiancé, Amanda Brander, of Lockport; and daughters Amber, 21, Kristina, 19, and Kassandra, 19, all of New Lenox.

“Each day is a new challenge, but I look at it this

way,” Rosinksi said. “Twenty years ago, they would not be able to do the things they do now. People are surviving breast cancer and I’m hoping I will, too.”

While Rosinski is waiting for her wig to arrive and learning to tie scarves, her daughters are busy helping their mother organize their “Save the Rack” team. They’ve always participated with Rosinski, but this year’s efforts are especially poignant now that their mother has joined the breast cancer ranks.

Amber said it’s sad seeing so many people battle cancer.

Kristina said it’s important to make sure people are aware of that fact because victims depend on the community’s support of events such as Relay for Life.

“It’s a very emotional time for us,” Kassandra said.

“We’re just working hard and sticking together.”

Know more Myra Kocsis, a Relay For Life specialist, said the American Cancer Society offers many free programs to support cancer victims.

• For women, these include free wigs, wig boutiques and “Look Good, Feel Better” sessions where women work with licensed cosmetologists to learn how to use their wigs, apply makeup to complement their skin tone and create eyebrows.

“It helps make women feel good about themselves,” Kocsis said.

• The “Road to Recovery” program offers transportation to doctor and treatment appointments for cancer victims, Kocsis. Drivers are dedicated volunteers that use their own vehicles and their own gas.

“All they [patients] need to do is call and we will arrange the transportation,” Kocsis said.

• A 24-hour patient navigation service is available so cancer patients and their families can call with their questions and concerns anytime day or night, Kocsis said. That phone number is 800-227-2345.

• The American Cancer Society also presents programs for both elementary and junior high school students, Kocsis said. These focus on sun safety, nutrition and physical exercise.

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Ellen Key, a Swedish author who died in 1926, said, “The educator must above all understand how to wait; to reckon all effects in the light of the future, not of the present.”

I teach a lot of classes, especially during the early part of the year. I see some mistakes made time and time again. This deal highlights one of the most common. After East opens one heart as dealer, South makes a takeout double, and West passes, what should North do?

Assuming the advancer (the doubler’s partner) does not have a hand suitable for no-trump, an inexperienced player answers a takeout double by bidding the suit that he prefers at a minimum level regardless of highcard count. He expects partner to be psychic in divining how many points he holds.

By an unpassed hand, a new suit shows about 0-8 points. A single jump in a suit promises 9-11 points. And with a hand as strong as North’s, one should start with a cue-bid of the opener’s suit. This is artificial, just indicating 12 points or more. (A passed hand should lower those ranges by two points.)

After this cue-bid, the hunt is on for a fit. Here, South rebids two spades, North raises to three spades, and South goes on to four spades.

West leads the heart three.

East takes two tricks with his king and ace, then shifts to the club jack. How should South play the trumps?

There are only 13 high-card points missing. Ergo, East must have the spade king. Declarer should play a spade to dummy’s ace and continue with a low spade. When the king luckily appears, the contract is home.

54 Teen initiates ‘the talk,’ but mom tries to dodge it Dear Abby: I’m 16 and entering my junior year of high school. My boyfriend, “Jonah,” and I have been dating for almost a year and we would like to become sexually active, but I’m scared condoms won’t cut it. I have tried talking to my mom about it, but she doesn’t think I should go on birth control.

Abby, I’m just trying to keep the risk of getting pregnant as low as possible. I’m not sure my mom understands that. What should I do? Please help me because I’m just trying to protect myself. – Practical Teen In New York Dear Practical Teen: You appear to be a levelheaded young woman who is trying to make mature decisions. Discussing sex with parents can be difficult – not only for you, but also for them.

If you are willing to talk about this with your mother again, try using a magazine, a TV show or my column as a jumping-off point to start the conversation.

You should be able to get confidential health services from your doctor or another health care provider. Depending upon where

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips you live, however, parental permission may be needed. You will have to check to find out.

In terms of birth control methods, hormonal birth control is effective when used correctly. But using hormonal birth control and a condom TOGETHER offers the best protection from both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

For many years, I have recommended Planned Parenthood (plannedparenthood.org) for reproductive health services, which include information, contraception, testing and education about a full range of options for women, men and teens across the U.S. Its services are confidential and comply with relevant laws, which may vary from state to state.

Some Planned Parenthood centers scale their charges according to income, and most accept health

insurance. Your local Planned Parenthood health center can give you specific information about costs and policies.

Dear Abby: Do you think it’s bad that my two girls don’t see their father? I don’t keep them from him.

He’s welcome to see them, but he is now remarried and has never asked for them.

To be honest, the girls don’t even talk about him anymore. Is it OK to let them go on with their lives with the family members who are in it? – New Mexico Mommy Dear New Mexico Mommy: It’s sad that your daughters have no relationship with their father.

However, because he has shown no interest in having one with them, you have no option but to let them go on with their lives.

The question that comes to mind is, has he been supporting the girls financially? If the answer is no, you should have gotten a lawyer involved 10 years ago.

Strengthen ankle muscles to prevent future strains Dear Doctor K: I have weak ankles, and as a result, I have frequent ankle sprains. Can you suggest some ankle-strengthening exercises?

Dear Reader: Our ankles are workhorses and take a lot of abuse. They must bear the full weight of our bodies, yet stay nimble and flexible through every step and jump. It’s amazing they work as well as they do.

As is true with every weight-bearing joint in our bodies, the muscles that affect the movement of the joint are the joint’s best friends. I learned this the hard way. I badly injured my right quadriceps muscle playing basketball when I was in my 20s. The quadriceps is in the front of the upper leg and protects the hip. Despite my exercising, that muscle never regained normal strength. As a result, 30 years later I needed a right hip joint replacement. My left hip was perfectly fine.

Weak muscles supporting the ankle make you more vulnerable to injuries such as sprains. They also make you more likely to fall, and to suffer injuries from the fall. Ankle sprains stretch or even tear the ligaments that keep ankle bones and joints properly positioned. And in a

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff vicious cycle, lax ligaments set the stage for additional sprains.

A combination of strengthening and stretching ankle exercises can help increase much-needed flexibility in your ankles. They can help build up supporting muscles that keep you balanced whether you’re standing still, walking over changing terrain or dancing.

Here are two ankle-strengthening exercises and one ankle stretch. I’ve put photos of these exercises on my website, AskDoctorK.com.

• Single leg stance (strengthening): Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart. Lift your right foot a few inches off the floor, bending your knee slightly, and balancing on your left leg. Hold for 60 seconds, then lower your foot to the starting position. Repeat with your left leg. This completes one set. Do one to three sets, resting for 30 to 90 seconds between sets.

• Heel raises (strengthening): Stand up straight with your feet hip-width apart and your hands

at your sides. Slowly lift up on your toes so that your heels rise off the floor as high as possible.

Pause, then slowly return to the starting position. Do one to three sets of 10 reps, resting for 30 to 90 seconds between sets.

• Seated point and flex (stretching): Sit up straight in a chair with both feet on the floor. Lift your right foot a few inches off the floor. Slowly flex your ankle so your toes point up toward the ceiling. Hold 10 to 30 seconds. Then slowly point your toes toward the floor. Hold 10 to 30 seconds. Finish 3 to 4 reps, then repeat the stretch with your left foot. This completes the set.

As we have grown heavier in the United States over the past 40 years, our ankles have been subjected to even more challenges. If you’ve ever had an ankle injury, or if you sometimes feel unsteady on your ankles, consider regular exercise, in addition to the exercises above, to help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Teen should invite father to high school graduation Dr. Wallace: I will be graduating this year.

Each graduating student is allowed to invite up to six guests and is given 6 tickets. Our graduation will be in our gymnasium, which holds about 1,000 people. My six tickets will go to my mother, two brothers and a sister, plus my mother’s parents. My parents have been divorced for over five years and, other than paying support for his children, my dad has no contact with our family. That’s because my mother wants it that way. She wants nothing to do with my dad.

Dad remarried about a year ago. I keep up with his whereabouts by calling his mother, my other grandma. About a month ago, I asked my grandma if my dad would like to come to my high school graduation.

She said she would find out.

I called her yesterday and she said that dad would be thrilled to see his daughter graduate.

I told my mother that I was planning on inviting dad to the graduation ceremony and she seemed very surprised and stammered, “All six of your tickets are spoken for.” I told her that my friend was only going to use three of her six tickets and she would give me the extras.

Mom then said, “If that’s your wish, invite your dad, but I would hope that you wouldn’t invite his wife.”

Should I honor Mom’s wish or should I tell dad that his wife is also invited? Please tell me what to do. I really need your help. – Lisa, Garden Grove, Calif.

Dear Lisa: Invite both your father and your stepmother, and with the extra ticket, also invite your dad’s mother. You only graduate from high school one

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace time and should have as many who love you as possible to share in your wonderful experience!

Dr. Wallace: My 17-year-old cousin keeps telling his friends and relatives, including me, that he is tired of life and is thinking about committing suicide.

His parents say that he is not serious about his threats and that he is just trying to draw attention to himself.

I think that all suicide threats should be taken seriously, but even my parents don’t believe that he will kill himself. They think that his parents know him very well and that he says that he is going to kill himself every time he does something wrong and is grounded.

Please tell me the warning signs of a potential suicide victim.

We live next door to him and I see him every day.

– Nameless, Portland, Ore. Dear Nameless: Every suicide threat should be taken seriously! Your aunt and uncle should get a psychiatric evaluation on their son.

According to Lillian Beard, M.D., an expert in adolescent health, the most common warning signs of a potential suicide are a change in eating or sleeping patterns, withdrawal from family and friends, a decline in the quality of schoolwork, violent or rebellious behavior, a noticeable personality change, unusual neglect of appearance, drug or alcohol abuse, or the giving away of treasured items.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

IFC Films photo

(From left) Ben (Sam Shepard), Jim Bob (Don Johnson) and Rich (Michael C. Hall) form an uneasy partnership in “Cold in July.”

‘Cold in July’: A truth that’s hard to swallow

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post I approached “Cold in July” with some trepidation, not just because the trailer looked grim, but because the aftertaste left by director Jim Mickle’s previous offering – a Gothic tale of cannibalistic horror called “We Are What We Are” – was still bitter in my mouth.

His new film, however, washed all that unpleasantness away. It’s still grim, mind you, but in a hauntingly neo-noirish way. It disturbs, even as it rewards those who stay with it. Plus, the trio of actors who carry this violent, morally complex tale – Michael C. Hall, Don Johnson and Sam Shepard – have never been better. They’re a pure pleasure to watch, even when what they’re doing is, emphatically, not.

In a bit of meta casting, Hall portrays a man sucked into a kind of vigilantism that echoes the ambivalent nature of the avenging-angel serial killer he played on “Dexter.” It’s by no means the same character or circumstance, but the resonance between the two roles is there (and undoubtedly not accidental).

Hall plays Rich Dane, a mild-mannered Texas frame shop owner whose fatal shooting of an intruder in his fam-

ily’s living room one night precipitates a mystery. When Rich discovers that the guy he put a bullet in is not the man the police say he is, Rich finds himself drawn into an unlikely alliance with excon Ben Russell (Shepard), the grieving father of Rich’s putative “victim.” Ben is a man whose initial desire for revenge turns into a quest for answers – along with a kind of justice that’s simultaneously pure and perverted – when it becomes apparent that his son may actually still be alive.

What that justice means, and what it costs, is the film’s true subject. Adapted from Joe R. Lansdale’s novel by the director and his frequent collaborator Nick Damici (who also plays a corrupt cop), “Cold” is Greek tragedy with a twang.

As Ben’s focus shifts, so does the film’s. Early on, “Cold in July” looks to be a simple stalker thriller. Angry about what he believes is his son’s killing, Ben starts terrorizing Rich and his wife and young son (Vinessa Shaw and Brogan Hall). But as the truth slowly comes to light – thanks to some snooping by a friend of Ben’s, Johnson’s flamboyant amateur gumshoe Jim Bob Luke – the film takes a dark and disturbing change of direction, not to mention tone.

Mickle handles both shifts nicely.

The first half of “Cold” is tense and suspenseful, albeit in a conventional way; the second half is sickeningly compelling. It’s hard to watch and hard to look away from. One scene features the three men looking at an incriminating videotape they’ve stumbled on – the story is set in 1989 – and they all have the same mixed reaction: They’re looking for answers that they’d rather not know.

But once you know something, you can’t unknow it. Nor can you escape what the undertow of knowledge pulls you toward: action. Rich, Ben and Jim Bob’s discovery binds them, like a chain gang, not only to each other, but also to an awful inevitability, the playing out of which forms the film’s final act.

The “Cold” in “Cold in July” has nothing to do with the weather. It refers to a bleak, hard truth. It is our humanity – our warm-bloodedness – that constrains us, sometimes, to do the cold-blooded.

• “Cold in July” received three out of four stars. The film is unrated and contains obscenity, disturbing thematic material and bloody violence. It runs 109 minutes.

Why Do I Hear But Not Understand?

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

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

If so you might be interested in some recent findings.

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

It took years for your brain to learn to interpret the meaning of sounds. If the neurons that carry signals to the brain are experiencing prolonged lack of stimulation because of damaged hair cells (auditory deprivation), they degenerate, leaving dead regions where certain sound frequencies can no longer be interpreted. In other words, “use it or lose it” applies to hearing too.

Fortunately, recent advances in digital hearing technology make it possible to detect damaged and dead regions within the inner ear. Using “visual speech mapping” and “real ear measurement” processes, the highly trained professionals and hearing instrument specialists at AccuQuest Hearing Centers (a national network of over 180 locations) can target regions of frequency loss and compensate for damaged hair cells. This targeted stimulation of neurons can aid in making speech comprehensible again.

Hearing loss, regardless of degree, can interfere with one’s ability to participate in a world that greatly depends on communication for social, educational, and occupational activities. Not all hearing loss can be fixed with hearing aids, but there’s a good chance we can help you with yours.

Please give us a chance to help before your loss worsens.

Our local experts, have been trained in the most advance fitting procedures on the most sophisticated technology available. Call today for a FREE consultation and 30 day satisfaction-guaranteed trial on ALL purchases.

Call us today!
