’14 Minooka grad killed in crash

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.co and

BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON TOWNSHIP – Friends of Madison C. Angus gathered Tuesday afternoon to honor the friend they said always went out of her way to compliment others.

Angus, 18, died in a car crash Monday night, a little more than a week after graduating from Minooka Community High School. On Tuesday, friends and classmates looked for ways to come to terms with her sudden death.

“We’re all friends. We all come together,” Jess Pratl said after she and Brynn Christensen, Hannah Crawley, Rachel Lambert, Nina Manzo, Lila Mereness and Carly Spirakes met and laid flowers at the scene of the accident.

Angus was a senior class officer at Minooka Community High School.

“Madison had really grown into a special person,” her friend Kaitie Daniels said Tuesday in a text message to Shaw Media. “She was so inspiring with her constant optimism about everything.”

Will County sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said Angus’ parents reported her missing to Channahon police about 11 p.m.

return home from work.

Angus was on her way home after her shift at Oberweis Dairy, according to her friends, when the accident occurred.

Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said police used cellphone data to find Angus about 2:20 a.m. Her 2005 Pontiac G6 had been traveling west on Tryon Street when she lost control a quarter-mile north of Pawnee Lane.

Hoffmeyer said the Pontiac went on its side, struck several trees and continued down the embankment. Angus was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from the vehicle, Hoffmeyer said. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

Initial reports suggest high speed was a factor in the crash, but alcohol was not, Hoffmeyer said.

On scene Tuesday afternoon, bright flowers leaned against a scarred tree just up the embankment covered with shattered glass where

the accident occurred.

“I’ve never met someone so passionate about everything she did and everyone she loved,” her friend Haley McCabe said in a text to Shaw Media. “She had a big heart to share.”

According to friends, Angus was excited about heading to college at the end of the summer.

“She was very passionate about going to Alabama for college,” Christensen said.

Friends and classmates quickly went to Twitter and Facebook to make plans for a candlelight vigil to be held 9 p.m. Thursday at the Minooka Community High School Central Campus parking lot.

Minooka Community High School sent a letter Tuesday to families in the district regarding the accident.

“It is with deep sorrow that we must share with you a tragedy that has occurred within our MCHS family,” reads the letter sent by Dave DiLorenzo, the district’s director of community relations. “Class of 2014 member Madison Angus was fatally injured in a car accident Monday evening.”

He said the school will provide support to the Angus family and counseling services will be available at both campuses for students and staff for as long as the need exists.

JOLIET – The Senior Services Center of Will County has scheduled a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 1:30 p.m.

Wednesday to thank the Joliet Women’s Club for their donation toward the center’s new digital sign.

The sign is at the Senior Services Center, 251 N. Center St. in Joliet. The center is holding the ceremony because of the many positive comments received about the sign, officials said in a news release.

For information about the ceremony, call the Senior Services Center at 815-7239713.

Local beekeeping group also points to genetics

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Michelle Hack and her family love bees so much they spend “Movie Night” at home building hive frames and other beekeeping equipment.

“I hate to make this analogy, but it’s like a tattoo. You can’t just have one [bee colony]. You get the bug,” said Hack, 34, of Plainfield.

Hack, along with her husband, Tim, 37, and children, Alyssa, 10, and Therin, 11, took up beekeeping more than a year ago.

The family is part of a growing trend, with beekeeping gaining popularity over the years amid reports of declining populations. The family of four last year joined the Will County Beekeepers Association, which started out with 20 members when it formed in 2011 but has since grown sixfold to 120.

While the family sells honey in the summer and fall, maintaining backyard bees is about more than making a profit, she said.

It’s also about fighting the continued threat of Colony Collapse Disorder – or the spontaneous abandonment of hives by honeybees. While the mechanisms of CCD remain unclear, the term is associated with a number of threats, including loss of habitat, parasitic varroa mites, malnutrition and genetics.

CCD is a phenomenon that’s garnered more attention from scientists, beekeepers and the general population in recent years, said Steve Chard, supervisor for the apiary inspection program at the Illinois Department of Agriculture.

The movement to save the bees from CCD is, in part, why the hobby has flourished so much, he said.

“Here at the department, we get a lot of calls about swarms

“Here at the department [of agriculture], we get a lot of calls about swarms of bees. Before there was even a discussion about Colony Collapse Disorder, most people were calling to find out how they should destroy the bees. Now, they’re asking, ‘What can I do to save these bees?’ ” Photos by Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

of bees. Before there was even a discussion about Colony Collapse Disorder, most people were calling to find out how they should destroy the bees,” Chard said. “Now, they’re asking, ‘What can I do to save these bees?’ ” The number of beekeepers in Illinois increased from 1,825 in 2012 to 2,519 in 2013, he said.

Beekeepers with one or more colonies are required to register through the state’s department of agriculture, he said.

Total colony losses nationwide over the winter were at 23.2 percent, which is better than previous years but is considered unsustainable, according to a report released earlier this month by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Losses greater than 18.9 percent are considered unsustainable, according to the report.

The losses are problematic because bees pollinate about one-third of the world’s food source, Chard said.

Hack said she wants to get her children involved now,

rather than later, so they understand the importance of pollinators years down the road.

“Kids nowadays don’t really have an appreciation for hard work. They don’t have an appreciation for agriculture,” Michelle Hack said. “People need to be aware of the importance

of bees and other pollinators.

[Our kids] are going to be the ones who one day have to figure out how to reverse the decline we’re seeing.”

Devastating loss In a Harvard study released earlier this month, research-

ers pointed to neonicotinoids – a relatively new class of pesticides often used as seed treatments for several crops, including soybean and corn – as a big contributor to CCD. The class of pesticides can kill honeybees

Baseball makes a comeback on East Side

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joe Belman dreamed of a new East Side baseball field for more than 20 years.

Originally Belman sought a diamond in the rough, in a field near Collins Street and Patterson Road, the same place he watched the semi-pro Aztec Eagles play when he was a child back in 1930s.

“I was 8 years old and my cousin used to take me there,” Belman said. “It was the first Mexican American league here. Baseball was awfully big in the area back then.”

Belman’s baseball quest began in 1992, when he first approached the state about acquiring land across the street from the Joliet Correctional Center for an East Side baseball field. He spent the next 11 years working to find public and private support for the venture.

In 2013, his efforts finally paid off when a diamond and backstop were put in at nearby Desmond Park by the Joliet Park District, with support from the Collins Street Neighborhood Organization, D’Arcy Motors, Canadian National Railway and Midwest Generation.

“And we’re mighty glad to have it,” Belman said. “Actually, it’s a dream come true.”

The field is now home to the Spanish Community Center Summer Youth League.

“It’s worked out great,” Belman said. “We’ve got more than 200 kids involved in the program, which we started five years ago without a field.”

The program will field 17 teams when it opens its season June 7, according to Jerry Morales Sr. of the Mexican American Coalition of Will County.

Players range from ages 5 to 13, both boys and girls.

Teams play baseball or softball Monday through Friday, with younger children, ages 5 to 7, playing T-ball on Saturdays. The older boys teams play at Varnado Park, McDonough and Water streets.

Despite financial challenges, the league has grown each year, Morales said.

“A lot of these kids don’t play Little League because it’s too expensive for them,” Morales said.

Fees for the Spanish Center league are $25. Players get a uniform and, if necessary, a glove. Children are allowed to play in tennis shoes, although some parents buy baseball shoes, Morales said.

For many of the players, it’s their first time on a baseball field.

“We’ve got 11-year-old kids who have never played be-

cause of their interest is soccer,” Morales said. “We’ve had them come up to the batter’s box facing the wrong way.”

The teams are recreational, so everyone gets a chance to play.

“They’re very good about making sure all of the kids are included,” said Elizabeth Nevarez, executive director of the Spanish Community Center. “That’s important for the kids because it builds up their self-esteem and teaches them to be team players.”

The ball park also has helped transform the community, Nevarez said.

“More and more families want to register their children,” Nevarez said. “Parents can come up with the children to the games, so they really like that.”

A new playground also was put in at the park.

“That’s what parks are for.

They’re supposed to bring people together,” said Dominic Egizio, executive director of the Joliet Park District. “If that’s what this one does, then it’s a success.”

Interest in the baseball program has grown so much that the league will need more coaches before it can field additional teams, Morales said.

Those interested in coaching or volunteer opportunities can contact Morales at 815-530-0032.

Lockport D-91 board approves new superintendent contract

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Milne-Kelvin Grove School District 91 officials have approved a new contract for the superintendent in light of uncertainties surrounding changes to the state pension law.

On Thursday, school board members voted 4-1 for Superintendent Donna Gray’s new contract roughly a year before her previous contract was set to expire. Board members Jennifer Fracaro and Stacey

Creed were absent from the meeting.

According to the contract, Gray’s prorated base salary for this year would be $169,499.

The base salary would increase by roughly 4 percent each year, with her base salary for the 2017-18 contract year amounting to $198,290.

Board President Robert Maida said board members decided to approve a new contract early because of changes to the Teachers Retirement System that are scheduled to go into effect June 1.

The changes would reduce benefits. But lawsuits challenging the constitutionally of the law were filed earlier this year and are still pending.

Because of possible changes to the retirement system, board members sought to extend Gray’s contract so the retirement benefits would be based on 2018 salary figures rather than 2015, which was the year her contract would have expired.

Maida said the approval of the contract this early would help Gray.

“Unfortunately, the lawmakers put us in a spot where we had to make a decision,” Maida said. “We certainly appreciate the work Mrs. Gray does for us.”

Gray did not immediately return calls for comment.

Board member Gloria Gory, the lone dissenting vote on the new contract deal, said she didn’t think approving a new contract this early was needed.

“I just feel there was no reason to extend her contract at this time,” she said. “We could

have done it next year.”

A new addition to the contract is allowing Gray to work from home or another location during the summer months when school is not in session.

Maida said the board was fine with Gray being able to work outside of school during the summer as long as work is accomplished.

“That’s really all we want is the work to get done,” he said.

Maida said in the past Gray has worked from home during inclement weather and he does not anticipate any problems.

Seven-Day Forecast for Will County

Scientists investigating bee defense • BEES Continued from page 3 outright by attacking their nervous systems, while mild exposure can lead to weakened immune systems, memory and foraging abilities.

But no one factor is necessarily to blame, said Darien Kruss, president of the Will County Beekeepers Association, noting bees remain under siege from a host of factors, including loss of habitat, parasitic varroa mites, malnutrition and genetics.

The Will County group’s members lost most, or all, of their colonies this winter because colonies starved, unable to reach their food source, Kruss said.

“If it’s not a record-breaking winter, a 30-percent loss is pretty typical,” Kruss said.

The movement to save the bees is, in part, why the hobby has flourished in Will County, he said.

The cold winter loss was “devastating” for local beekeepers, he said. A factor unique to Illinois is that group members typically begin each spring, as they did this year, with packaged bees shipped from California, where bees do not face cold temperatures.

The goal, he said, is to one day produce bees that can survive the area’s harsh winters.

“We really need to breed bees with a genetic predisposition to make it through a cold winter and then keep those genetics going here locally,” he said. “That would be ideal, to create a kind of hearty strain of bee genetics for this environment.”

This year, the group received more than 400 packages of bees from California – each weighing about three pounds and containing about 10,000 bees.

Bee’s worst enemy The loss also serves as a motivation for experts to zero in on genes that defend against the bee’s worst enemy: the varroa mite, considered one of the largest factors in population decline worldwide. The mite entered the U.S. in the 1980s.

Large infestations of mites can weaken bees’ immune systems, infect them with viruses

Therin Hack, 11, points to the queen bee, which is marked with a green dot, while examining a honeybee hive at his family’s home in Plainfield on May 19.

More about the group The Will County Beekeepers Association formed in 2011 and is a nonprofit organization that raises awareness of the importance of the honey bees, offers support to members and neighboring communities, encourages cooperation among local beekeepers, and contributes advancement of education about beekeeping.

The group meets monthly at the Will County Farm Bureau, 100 Manhattan Road, Joliet.

The organization’s next meeting is scheduled June 18 at the Will County. For more information, visit www.willbees.org. and even wipe out entire bee colonies.

The good news is that scientists are looking into whether bees can be bred to develop defensive behaviors to kill or disrupt the reproduction of varroa mites, said Lockport’s Jim Lindau, vice president of the local beekeepers group.

Lindau has more than 30 years of beekeeping expertise under his belt.

Purdue University is conducting a yearlong study beginning in June, he said, in order to test out its own bee breed designed to fend off mites, he said.

The idea is to breed bees specifically to hone in such traits. As part of the study, Lindau and several other group members will receive two queens – a genetically superior queen bee and a common commercial bee.

“They call them mite-biters.

Some call them ankle-biters.

They bite the legs off mites and

AFTER

can prevent them from reproducing and attacking the hive,” Lindau said. “They’re giving 2,000 of these queens away.

They want to know which one survives the winter.”

Best practices The study’s one stipulation is that beekeepers cannot use chemicals to fight against pests – something that’s easy for Lindau, who makes it a point never to use chemicals because mites eventually become immune to them, he said.

Refraining from chemical use has proven successful over the years, at least for Lindau.

He often advises amateur beekeepers to hold off on using miticides, but rather put a little work and effort in natural alternatives.

“You cannot solve the problem with chemicals. They’re trying to look for a silver bullet to make the mites go away, and that’s not going to happen.

You have to accept that they’re here. All the hives have mites.

It’s just a matter of how much,” he said. “I don’t claim to have all the answers. I just try to see what works best for me in this area.”

There’s no single, correct way to maintain bees, but members of the Will County Beekeepers Association are doing all they can to spread awareness on best practices, said Kruss, who’s served as president of the group since 2012.

“Unless you’re purposely killing them off … anything else you do is OK, from doing nothing to doing all kinds of stuff,” Kruss said.

CHICAGOLAND SPEEDWAY

Police, fire prepare for emergency

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Keeping 100,000 auto racing fans safe and secure requires practice.

So the staff of Chicagoland Speedway, Joliet Police and Joliet Fire departments gave their communication network a test drive Tuesday. About 30 people participated in a “tabletop” conference to simulate how they would respond if there was a catastrophic event when the stands were packed during a NASCAR event.

“It’s not something you want to think about, but at the same time, you have to. And I feel better showing we have a plan,” Speedway President Scott Paddock said.

Joliet Emergency Management Agency Director Greg Sebben said track management asked the city to arrange a drill where a crisis would develop and they’d have to demonstrate their response. The mock incident started with terrorists setting off bombs near the track. Participants had to explain who they’d reach out to for infor-

“It’s not something you want to think about, but at the same time, you have to. And I feel better showing we have a plan.”

Scott Paddock Chicagoland Speedway president

staff and track staff regularly share some command centers during events. Participants debated whether integrating them further during a crisis would make things more or less efficient.

“This is what we want to hear about our resources and responses – our strengths, our issues. Are there more capabilities we need?” Sebben asked.

While the fire and police departments work together all the time, they don’t always have Red Cross representatives available. Formhals said it was good to confirm there are procedures for keeping track of race fans if they have to be sent to different hospitals in the region.

Participants also discussed the use of social media to not

only alert fans awaiting a race, but also to send messages to their friends and family.

“If we start evacuating the stands during a [nationally televised] race, there’s not going to be a lot of time before people hear about it. We need to make sure what goes out is accurate and doesn’t make things worse,” Police Cmdr.

Al Roechner said.

mation and where it would be relayed.

Sebben’s scenario was presented more as a discussion than a test and offered the first-responders a chance to learn, as well. Fire Chief Joe Formhals and track Operations Manager Terry Greetham said severe weather has been the biggest concern for evacuating the stands so far.

“We’ve discussed what we’d do one agency at a time for a number of years, but I don’t think we’ve ever sat down [together],” Formhals said. “Just bouncing ideas off each other, I’ve learned things I didn’t know.”

Mailman reports dog owner tossing pup into trash can adno=0264340

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The mailman came to a dog’s rescue Saturday.

A letter carrier called police after he saw while on his route a man allegedly threatening a small dog, Cmdr. Al Roechner said.

About 2:20 p.m. the postal employee was in the 200 block of Comstock Street when he saw Michael L. Allen, 36, come out of a house, cursing at a small brown dog tied to a lamp

post in front, Roechner said. “[Allen] screamed ‘I’m sick of this ... dog,’ picked up the animal and threw him into a garbage can at the side of the house,” Roechner said.

Allen then continued cursing about the dog and went back inside before the mail carrier called police, Roechner said.

Police found the animal unharmed and turned the dog over to animal control, Roechner said. Allen was charged with cruelty to animals and released on bond.

Charles Pelkie State’s attorney spokesman man Charles Pelkie said no members of the Glover or Rankins families had contacted the Will County State’s Attorney’s office to criticize Massaro’s plea.

“We have talked with the families to make them aware of our positions and explained issues with them that we are prohibited from discussing publicly because of the gag order,” Pelkie said. Kinney has banned attorneys and investigators from providing details about the case to “limit the sensationalism” surrounding it.

But Pelkie said since the defendants would have all been tried separately, prosecutors had to look at the challenges of each case and “address them early on” in the process.

“And we’ve now also secured her future testimony in the other cases as a result,” Pelkie said.

When Massaro was sentenced, she acknowledged luring Glover and Rankins to her house in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street so the suspects could rob them of money and drugs.

Massaro was sentenced to two consecutive five-year sentences for robbery and has already served about a year-and-a-half in jail. She could have her time behind bars reduced further with good behavior. The threeyear sentences for concealing a homicide will be served at the same time.

JOLIET – The sister of a victim in the Hickory Street Murders will support a demonstration planned for Thursday to protest a defendant’s recent plea deal.

Eric Glover’s older sister, Lytierra Williams, said Tuesday that she will attend the protest scheduled for noon in front of the Will County Courthouse that was organized by one of her Facebook friends.

Alisa R. Massaro, 20, pleaded guilty last week to two counts of robbery and two counts of concealing a homicide and was sentenced to 10 years in prison in exchange for testifying against three other suspects in the Jan. 10, 2013, slaying of Glover and his friend Terrence Rankins.

Until pleading guilty, Massaro faced murder charges along with Joshua F. Miner, 25, Adam M. Landerman, 20, and Bethany L. McKee, 19.

“She’s just as guilty. She had a part in it. She had sex on top of their bodies,” Williams said, referring to media accounts of details found in police reports in the case.

“If you really cared about them, you’d call the police.

She’s a killer who deserves to spend life in prison.”

Williams also said Judge Gerald Kinney would have been publicly “slammed” if he’d approved a plea deal for reduced charges in a case where two white women were killed by four blacks.

Glover and Rankins were black and their accused slayers are white.

Glover’s mother, Nicole Jones, is not planning to attend the protest. Jones met with prosecutors to discuss Massaro’s plea while the deal was being arranged.

“I think maybe [prosecutors] didn’t have a choice and had to make that deal in order to get the other three that were there,” Jones said Tuesday.

Sugary drink tax voted down in Springfield

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

lleonecross@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – There’s one less tax Illinoisans have to worry about.

A bid to combat obesity statewide by taxing sugary drinks fizzled out in Springfield Tuesday after an Illinois House committee rejected the plan.

The proposal, voted down 7-2, would have placed a penny-per-ounce excise tax on sugary drinks sold in sealed containers, making a 24-pack of soda cost nearly $3 more than its zero-calorie counterparts.

The proposal called for a penny-per-ounce tax on

drinks with caloric sweeteners such as sweet teas, energy drinks and soda, along with the syrups and powders within them.

Additional tax revenue would have raised an estimated $600 million for Medicaid and a variety of health care and preventive initiatives, supporters argued. Opponents said the tax would hit consumers hard while not directly addressing the issue of obesity.

Will County Board Member Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen, said Tuesday he was glad the tax proposal was thrown out.

“It was silly to even bring that up,” he said. “How far

are we going to go? It’s just going to cost people more money. What are they? The soda pop police?”

Illinois Alliance to Prevent Obesity, the statewide coalition that led the efforts on Senate Bill 3524, vowed in a news release on Tuesday to continue fighting for the legislation, arguing the bill is vital in reversing the state’s “obesity epidemic.”

The price increase would have reduced consumption, and in turn, reduce childhood obesity, supporters said. The tax revenue would have gone to obesity-prevention initiatives such as healthier food in schools, childcare centers, and physical education.

Traffic changes Drivers on Ridge Road will have to stop at three intersections after the board approved an ordinance removing the yield signs at Ca Crest, Edgebrook and Shorewood drives, and replacing them with stop signs.

Last week, a motorcycle accident on Ca Crest and Ridge was the third such accident in the area in recent years, Superintendent of Public Works Chris Drey said.

“We’re looking at some means we can provide to slow that down,” Drey said.

The board also voted to establish a no parking or standing zone on River Crossing Drive 1,350 feet west of S.W. Frontage Road. The zone would extend to S.W. Frontage Road between Seil and Mound roads.

“Semis have been parking on the sideroads by [Heartland Corporate Center],” Village Administrator Roger Barrowman said, explaining that the area needs to be zoned no parking for the police to start issuing tickets.

The board voted Feb. 25 to install a 3-way stop sign at the intersection to improve safety at the intersection.

SHOREWOOD – Drivers can get ready for more visibility on Route 59 and Black Road after the Shorewood village board voted unanimously Tuesday to approve a $1.6 million lighting project along the corridor.

Oswego-based Utility Dynamics Corporation will construct the project after winning a bid of $818,608.50, which was $62,000 less than the project estimate from consultant Christopher B. Burke Engineering, Ltd. “This project has been on the books for three to four years,” trustee Dan Anderson said.

Utility Dynamics is pre-qualified by the Illinois Department of Transportation to construct similar projects and has worked with Burke Engineering in the past, according to Village Engineer Bryan Welch.

The project will install 129 street lights on Route 59 from Ridge Road north to the Walmart at Theodore Street, and Black Road from Shorewood Drive to Schock Drive.

The project attracted three other bids, Lyons Electric at $1,263,500, Van-Mack Electric at $949,999 and Elmund & Nelson at $882,300.

The largest expense of the project will be the light poles’ foundations estimated at $213,426, according to the bid report.

Along with the project, the board also approved a $772,710 quote by East Dubuque-based Crescent Electric Supply Company for the street light poles.

Other bids included Englewood Electrical Supply at $823,016.31 and Gexpro at $796,664.01.

Each light pole will cost an estimated $5,990. The pole bases will be decorative and

stamped with the village name. It will be consistent with other village lights installed at Route 59 and at Jefferson Street within the past seven years, Welch said.

Trustee Stevan Brockman was concerned about whether the project would be similar to lighting at River Road and Jefferson Street.

“To me, that seems like an excessive amount of lighting,” Brockman said.

Welch said this project will be more similar to the Route 59 and Jefferson Street intersection.

“We’re bound by IDOT’s standards,” he said.

Grundy to receive 911 reimbursement

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Grundy County received some unexpected good news Tuesday in the form of a check for $667,000.

The money comes from the Grundy County 911 Dispatch Center, Morris Police Chief Brent Dite told the Grundy County Finance Committee.

Dite is the chairman of the Emergency Telephone System Board, also known as the 911 board.

Since the consolidation of dispatching services roughly three years ago, the county has continued to pay all of the insurance for the dispatch center’s employees when in reality, employee costs are now shared by all of the 14 member agencies in the dispatching cooperative.

As a result, the county should have been reimbursed a portion of the employee insurance costs it paid, but it never was, Dite said.

Instead, the funds have been accruing within the 911 Dispatch Fund since May 2012, unbeknownst to those at the county and the dispatch center until recently.

The 911 Dispatch Fund is a separate fund within the county’s total operating budget and is managed by the ETSB. “It’s money that’s in our

budget, just sitting there, that needs to be transferred to reimburse the county,” Dite said.

Dite said the dispatch consolidation, coupled with the county’s turnover in the Human Resource Department and administrator position, all contributed to the clerical oversight.

“Once the consolidation happened, there were a lot of moving parts,” Dite said after Tuesday’s meeting. “We caught it because we started looking at all of expenditures and our revenues, and our balance was higher than it should have been.”

After noticing the balance, Dite said he went through the 911 Dispatch Fund in detail with County Administrator Heidi Miller and Human Resource Director Debra Johnson.

The newly discovered money will be transferred from the 911 Dispatch Fund into the county’s general operating fund immediately and can be used however the county sees fit.

Members of the finance committee were pleasantly surprised by Dite’s announcement.

“It’s good for the county because they get their money, and it’s good for the 911 center because now they know,” finance committee member Dick Joyce said.

Morris boat accident leaves four injured this weekend

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A speed boat and pontoon boat collided on the Illinois River, one mile west of Stratton Park, early Saturday evening.

The Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District and Minooka Fire Protection District responded about 6 p.m. to the accident along with Illinois Department of Natural Resources.

Four of the passengers were transported to Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers, and as many as 10 of the

passengers refused medical treatment, Morris Fire Deputy Chief Bob Wills said Monday.

Wills, who was on the scene of the accident, said it appeared that all injuries were not life-threatening.

“The speed boat was damaged enough to where it was taking in water and had to be brought ashore and towed away,” Wills said.

The pontoon boat was towed back to the owners vehicle, Wills added.

The accident is still under investigation by the IDNR Conservation Police.

dfarnham@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Members of the Pakistani-American community and local and state officials welcomed the Ambassador of Pakistan Jalil Abbas Jilani during a dinner last week at the Bolingbrook Golf Club.

The Bolingbrook-based Association of Pakistani Americans hosted the event, which also served to highlight the association’s involvement in the community.

Talat Rashid, the founder of the APA, said hosting the ambassador was a distinguished moment for the village.

For information on the Association of Pakistani Americans, visit www.apabolingbrook.com.

“I think the ambassador picked Bolingbrook instead of going to Chicago and many other communities, and that tells a lot about Bolingbrook and Mayor Roger Claar,” he said.

Consul General of Pakistan Faisal Tirmizi, who estimates he has visited Bolingbrook 10 times since taking the position eight months ago, said he has always felt a warmth from the

village.

“There is something special about this city that has attracted me, as well as it has attracted my predecessors,” he said.

Jilani said he had heard a lot about Claar before meeting him because of his activity in the Pakistani-American community.

He said those he talked to sang the praises of the mayor and Bolingbrook, and he took time to do so as well.

“I was just thinking that if ever I decide to join politics after my retirement, I will come to Bolingbrook and have [an] internship here,” he said.

Jilani invited Claar to visit

Pakistan and proposed becoming sister cities with one of Pakistan’s cities.

Claar said he did not think his involvement with the Pakistani-American community was anything above and beyond his duties.

“Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do?” he said.

Jilani said he also was impressed by work of the APA and invited them to join a gathering of Pakistani-American groups in Washington, D.C., later this year.

He said that Pakistani-Americans serve as a bridge between the Pakistan and the United States.

“If I am able to achieve a building of this relationship,

a lot of credit will go the Pakistani-American community,” he said.

Illinois State Treasurer Dan Rutherford said that with the common American’s limited exposure to the international community, it is groups like the APA that are most important for common understanding between cultures.

“It’s having an association that’s been in the community like this for 25 years so that we know who Pakistani-Americans are,” he said.

Mir Ali, who emceed the event, was pleased with the event.

“I thought it went fantastic,” he said. “We had an overwhelming response.”

Dr. Nafisa Burhani, specializing in hematology at Presence Cancer Care in Joliet, wants men and women to understand the need for regular cancer screenings.

“Catching cancer early means curing it,” she says.

Cancer prevention and treatment have come a long way in the past few years and early detection is key for most types of cancers. Guidelines are as follows: Prostate screening: Men should begin screenings at age 50; or sooner if there is a family history of cancer or if they are African-American.

Breast cancer screening: Women should begin annual mammograms at age 40.

Cervical cancer screening: After a woman becomes sexually active, she should have a pap smear every two or three years. Frequency of screenings depends on the results of the previous test. Any unusual results will require more frequent screenings.

Colon: Men and women should have a colonoscopy at age 50.

She also points out that several provide financial help with

screenings. Also during certain months, such a March for colon cancer awareness and October for breast cancer awareness, those screenings often are offered free or at very nominal fees.

One cancer that does have not a specific screening is skin cancer, Burhani says. Everyone can be their own advocate by knowing the ABCDs of melonoma: Asymmetry Border irregularity, Color, and Diameter.

Be aware of moles that are oddly shaped, with uneven edges, uneven color and with a diameter larger than 6mm.

“MAMMO 91” 1-13-1994

5-27-2012

If we could have a lifetime wish, A dream that would come true, We’d pray to God with all our hearts, For yesterday and you.

A thousand words can’t bring you back, We know because we’ve tried.

Neither will a thousand tears, We know because we’ve cried.

You left behind our broken hearts, And happy memories too.

But we’d gladly give up memories, because all we want is you.

You are not forgotten loved one, Nor will you EVER be, As long as life and memory last, You will be with our family!!!

ALL OUR LOVE, Mom, Dad, Nick and Rachel “Mammo Strong Forever”

Lincoln library proposal moves to the House floor

News from across the state

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan has denied that personal friendships are driving his proposal to make the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum a separate state agency.

A House committee on Monday approved the Chicago Democrat’s idea to break the decade-old institution off from the Historic Preservation Agency. The measure will now move to the House floor.

Madigan confirmed to reporters after the meeting that he is a friend of library and museum director Eileen Mackevich and her longtime friend Stanley Balzekas, the landlord for Madigan’s state office in Chicago.

Balzekas founded and operates the Balzekas Museum of Lithuanian Culture in the same building.

But Madigan said neither has lobbied him about the change.

Report: Out-ofstate guns used in Chicago crimes

CHICAGO – A new report from the city of Chicago concludes most guns recovered in crimes in the city were first sold in states with less stringent gun laws.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office released the 15-page report Tuesday along with Chicago police and the University of Chicago.

The report finds that nearly 60 percent of guns used to commit crimes in Chicago between 2009 and 2013 were initially bought in states with weaker gun regulations.

It also stated nearly 20 percent of all guns found at crime scenes were sold by four local dealers.

Three are in suburban Cook County and one is in Gary, Indiana.

Chicago-area woman enters plea in child’s death

WAUKEGAN – A suburban Chicago woman has pleaded guilty to a reckless homicide charge in the death of a 5-year-old girl.

Carly Rousso of Highland Park entered the plea on Tuesday.

The 19-year-old still faces a

bench trial in Lake County court on a count of aggravated driving under the influence.

Rousso is accused of driving onto a sidewalk and killing Jaclyn Santos-Sacramento after inhaling computer dust cleaner in September 2012. The girl’s mother and two infant brothers were injured but survived.

Peoria eyes World War II-era ship for waterfront

PEORIA – City leaders in Peoria are talking about trying

to bring a World War II-era U.S. Navy vessel to the city’s waterfront.

According to The Journal Star, the Peoria City Council will consider a proposal Tuesday night to move the landing craft LST 325 to Peoria. It is now docked in Evansville, Indiana, but the board that oversees the ship could move it when a contract with the city expires in 2015.

Assistant Peoria city manager Chris Setti believes it might be worth the $1.5 million.

Obama says U.S. finishing Afghanistan job

WASHINGTON – Seeking to turn the page on more than a decade of war, President Barack Obama announced plans Tuesday for greatly reducing U.S. forces in Afghanistan by the end of the year and then ending the U.S. military commitment by the end of 2016.

“We have now been in Afghanistan longer than many Americans expected,” Obama acknowledged during an appearance in the White House Rose Garden. “Now we’re finishing the job we’ve started.”

Even as Obama set a timetable for the drawdown, he said he would keep nearly 10,000 American troops in Afghanistan after the U.S. combat mission formally ends later this year. Those troops would focus on training Afghan security forces and on counterterrorism efforts.

The president said his plan was contingent on the Afghan government signing a bilateral security

agreement with the U.S. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has refused to sign the accord, but the U.S. is optimistic that the two candidates seeking to replace him in the ongoing Afghan elections will finalize the agreement.

Both have pledged to sign it.

Obama’s blueprint calls for cutting the current U.S. force of 32,000 to 9,800 by the start of next year. Those troops, dispatched throughout Afghanistan, would not be engaged in combat missions.

Over the course of 2015, the number of troops would be cut in half and consolidated in the capital of Kabul and at Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. base in Afghanistan. Those remaining forces would largely be withdrawn by the end of 2016, with fewer than 1,000 remaining behind to staff a security office in Kabul.

Noting the complexity of his drawdown plan, Obama said, “It’s harder to end wars than to begin them.”

After long wait, Malaysia releases jet data KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia – Close to three months after the Malaysian jetliner disappeared, the government on Tuesday released reams of raw satellite data it used to determine that the flight ended in the southern Indian Ocean, a step long demanded by the families of some of the passengers on board.

But while the 45 pages of information may help satisfy a desire for more transparency in a much criticized investigation, experts say it’s unlikely to solve the mystery of Flight 370 – or give much comfort to relatives stuck between grieving and the faintest hope, no matter how unlikely, their loved ones might still be alive.

The release of the information came as the underwater hunt for the jet is poised to pause until later in the summer while new, powerful sonar equipment is obtained, a sign of just how

difficult it will be to locate the jet and finally get some answers on how it went missing with 239 people on board.

Air traffic controllers lost contact with the Boeing 777 soon after it took off from Kuala Lumpur on March 8 on a night flight to Beijing over waters between Malaysia and Vietnam.

An international investigation team led by Malaysia has concluded that the jet flew south after it was last spotted on Malaysian military radar to the west of peninsular Malaysia and ended up in the southern Indian Ocean off western Australia. The conclusion is based on complex calculations derived largely from brief hourly transmissions or “handshakes” between the plane and a communications satellite operated by Britain’s Inmarsat company.

Investigators say they believe the plane was deliberately diverted from its flight path.

Illinois House hearing on IHSA gets the ball rolling In case you missed it, something new and different happened in Springfield last week.

Officials from the Illinois High School Association appeared May 20 before a committee of the Illinois House of Representatives to answer questions about how the IHSA operates.

Numerous questions were posed to the Bloomington-based IHSA, a private, nonprofit group that regulates high school sports and activities for about 800 schools, according to reports from the Associated Press.

Among the questions: Why have no basketball title games been played in Chicago?

Why does the IHSA have only one black employee?

Why did IHSA total salaries rise from $2,541,323 in 2011-12 to $3,076,721 in 201213, an increase of 21 percent?

Why have details not been shared about the exclusive contracts the IHSA has with vendors, suppliers and broadcasters of state tournament games?

Why does the 10-member IHSA board have only two black representatives?

An attorney who represents the Illinois Press Association and Illinois Broadcasters Association called on the IHSA to be made subject to state open meetings and public records laws.

Don Craven made the case for greater transparency because the IHSA oversees sports and other activities at hundreds of public schools and receives money from IHSA-sponsored tournaments.

Although the IHSA releases financial audits and annual reports, Craven said that is not enough. The deliberative process by which

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

policies are made needs to be open. Right now, it isn’t.

Marty Hickman, the IHSA executive director, defended the organization as financially responsible and responsive to the needs of students and schools.

No fees are charged to schools to belong, Hickman said.

Just five or six spectator sports bring in the bulk of tournament ticket sales, he said, but that money covers costs for other non-revenue sports and activities.

Member schools receive 20 percent of the income from events, plus guaranteed payments, he said.

Hickman said the IHSA has a balanced budget and defended its salaries and pension system, noting that the agency switched from a pension fund to a 401(k) plan six years ago.

“We’re not trying to make money,” Hickman said. “We’re trying to put on quality interscholastic programs.”

The hearing, which lasted three hours, is to be followed by two more hearings, one in Chicago and the other downstate, according to state Rep. Linda Chapa LaVia, D-Aurora, the committee chairwoman.

While the first hearing had some tense exchanges and outbursts from spectators, we believe it was a learning experience for the IHSA, legislators, the media, and the public.

We hope future hearings focus less on acrimony and more on how all sides can work cooperatively to alleviate problems, both actual and perceived.

A commitment by the IHSA to increase its levels of transparency and diversity would be a good start.

OPINION

Don T. Bricker Vice President and Publisher

Illinois should become a right-to-work state SPRINGFIELD – Thirty-one years ago, I gave a speech to my high school rhetoric class on how Illinois ought to become a right-towork state.

Back when I was in high school, my hometown of Galesburg was an industrial center that churned out lawnmowers, refrigerators, steel buildings and outboard motors.

Industrial unions were powerful in Galesburg just as they were in nearby Peoria, Moline and all across Illinois.

So my speech calling for ending compulsory unionism was not particularly well received.

After all, many of my classmates were the sons and daughters of union workers.

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder To them, I was preaching apostasy.

A right-to-work law simply means that employees cannot be forced to join or otherwise pay union dues in order to keep their jobs.

Today, when I visit my hometown, I feel sadness.

Those union factory jobs have evaporated.

Many of my classmates have moved to other states to raise their families.

The Maytag refrigerator plant has been shuttered.

The Butler Manufacturing factory closed.

And a plant making

Lawn-Boy lawnmowers shut down.

Galesburg is hardly unique.

When I lived in Rock Island in the 1990s, I’d often ask folks what they did for a living.

And more often than not, they’d respond: “Well, I used to work at …”

Today, industrial unions are a shadow of their former selves. Factory jobs are migrating to right-to-work states – places where the marketplace, not union coercion, determine wages.

The last time I wrote on this topic, union leaders responded by saying things are much worse in right-towork states.

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.

See REEDER, page 22

Workers should be free to choose • REEDER Continued from page 21 Baloney.

Take a look at our neighbors in Iowa and Indiana.

Both states are right-towork states, but the economies there are chugging along quite nicely.

Just consider these statistics compiled by the Illinois Policy Institute: • A net of roughly 5 million Americans moved from the non-right-to-work states to right-to-work states from 2000 to 2010. That’s an average of about one person every minute.

• Right-to-work states experienced population growth of 15.3 percent while population growth in non-right-to-work states was 5.9 percent between 2000 and 2010.

• 28.5 percent of Americans lived in right-to-work states in 1970; by 2008, that percentage rose to nearly 40 percent (to over 121 million).

Even Michigan, once the cradle of organized labor, has adopted a right-to-work law.

By contrast. Illinois has clung to an outdated model of compulsory unionism.

The fact of the matter is that many people who belong to unions would rather not be members.

They are given little choice but to keep seeing a portion of their paychecks going to union bosses.

Nowhere is that more evident than among government workers.

When workers in Wisconsin were given a choice

about whether or not to join a union, many opted out.

The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council representing city and county workers in Milwaukee has experienced a 61 percent drop in membership during the first two years that a public employee right to work law has been in place. And the AFSCME council representing state workers saw its membership fall 35 percent, the MacIver Institute reports.

Labor unions like to talk about “empowering” workers. The reality is much different.

Shouldn’t workers be free to choose?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ADMIRE THE LILACS WHILE THEY ARE STILL HERE To the Editor: It’s lilac time again!

Every year I promise myself I’ll write this letter or do something to spread the joy this season brings to those who can no longer get out into the hedgerows and country lanes where many lilac bushes hide away.

When I saw their leaves appearing on a neighbor’s bush recently, I panicked and determined that this would be the year of the letter.

For lilac lovers, this is the season that brings out the poet in us.

Just the smell of lilacs transports us back to the time we first smelled them – probably years ago. For me, that was when I grew up on Prairie Avenue.

The bushes next to our house reached all the way up to our bedroom and we could lie on the bed by the windowsill, especially after a rain, and be intoxicated by the sweet smell of flowers.

In later years, I taught down south, where they don’t have lilacs, and each spring I longed to

be back home. One of my sisters sent me some lilac perfume.

That helped.

Now, each year I put a lilac into an envelope (probably against the law) and mail it to another sister in California. Last year, I stopped at a farm house and asked a very kind lady if I could please have one from her bush to mail. She said to take all I wanted, so I greedily broke off a couple extra for myself.

On the way to the post office, I passed a nursing home and decided to bring them inside. As soon as I entered, ladies started gathering around to smell them.

(Lilacs aren’t as much for looking as for smelling and remembering).

One old lady in a wheelchair said she hadn’t smelled a lilac in all the years she’d been there.

I left them there on a table and wished I had a yard full of lilac bushes so I could bring a bouquet to every nursing home in town. Actually, many of the people there probably planted those

bushes we enjoy today – as they take many years to grow.

When I got home, I checked the yellow pages and discovered there are only about 10 nursing homes in Joliet. That means only 10 bouquets would do the job.

Wouldn’t it be nice if every year at “lilac time” everyone that God has blessed with a lilac bush (especially the sweet smelling, pale lavender kind) would bring some to a nursing home (or an older neighbor or other shut-in) so they too, could share in the sweet scent of spring. “Lilac time” could become “loving time” – a time to show our love especially for those who can no longer get outside.

If there’s any young person out there reading this paper, please before you pitch it, clip out this letter and tuck it away. Then, when you are old, take it out and mail it to a friend, and perhaps that friend will bring you a lilac!

The Hilltoppers dropped the first set of their Joliet West Regional semifinal game to Minooka and fell behind 14-12 in the second set after two overpowering kills when coach Rhyen Staley called a timeout.

“One of the things we kept talking about was just keep playing point for point,’’ Staley said. “We’re not always a big run team. When we battle it out, we can hang in there. We just kept hanging in there.’’

Joliet Catholic overcame the early adversity to advance to Wednesday’s championship game with a 16-25, 25-22, 25-23 victory.

“This is really big for us, for us to get over that hump of losing to them, getting

knocked out of the playoffs four years straight,’’ Staley said.

“They were bigger than us, stronger than us, they could jump higher than us,’’ Joliet Catholic’s Aron Goeken said. “But I think we did a real good job of sticking together as a team and pulled it out together.’’

After Minooka committed several errors down the stretch of the second set to fall behind 24-21, Blake Reardon got the set-winning kill for Joliet Catholic.

“It was pretty scary, I was worried,’’ Reardon said of the early deficit. “But we started running different hitters.

The middle really stepped up and did amazing.’’

“We just all came together as a team. We had to do it with all of our players,’’ libero Tony Allen said. “We kept our energy up. Our passing was a lot better the second set and we ran our offensive system a lot better.

“As soon as that second

In Tuesday’s semifinal match, Joliet Catholic defeated Minooka in three sets. game was over, we were all pumped up. We felt that we knew we were going to win that third game.’’

The deciding set went back and forth until Joliet Catholic grabbed a 12-5 advantage.

Three straight Minooka kills and a block trimmed Joliet Catholic’s lead to 14-12.

The Hilltoppers then went ahead 19-13 after an ace by Allen, a block by Reardon and a kill by Goeken.

Two blocks gave Joliet Catholic its final points and a berth in the regional title game with a 25-23 win.

Leading the scoresheet for Joliet Catholic (22-14) were Reardon (13 kills, two

blocks),Allen (13 digs, two aces), Goeken (37 assists), Chandler Kowaliczko (six kills)and Ben Gabor (five kills).

Minooka was led by Mitch Perinar (16 kills, two blocks), Mason Novak (14 assists, 11 kills), Brandon Baranski (20 assists, seven kills) and Justin Toth (three kills, three blocks).

“Second game and especially in the third game, we made so many mistakes,’’ Minooka coach Janel Grzetich said. “We started to recover from them, but it was a little too far along. We couldn’t make that comeback.’’

Minooka, the Southwest Prairie Conference champion, finished with a 26-10 record.

“It was a great season,’’ Grzetich said. “It’s a wonderful group of guys to coach, especially the seniors. I know the rest of the boys on the team and the rest of the program are really going to miss them.’’

JOLIET WEST BOYS VOLLEYBALL REGIONAL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 2, JOLIET WEST 0 (25-21, 25-18)

Plainfield Central looks to make history in regional final

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – All that a coach can ask of his team is to play its best once the playoffs begin.

That’s why Alex Hurlburt was pleased after his Plainfield Central boys volleyball team defeated the hosts in Tuesday’s Joliet West Regional semifinals.

The Wildcats were on in all aspects of their game and that spelled trouble for West as they continued their historical season with a 25-21, 25-18 victory.

Central (25-10), which has never gotten this far in the postseason before, will try to capture its first regional title Wednesday when it meets Joliet Catholic in the 6 p.m. title match. The two squads have not met so far this season.

While the Wildcats received a nice defensive effort

and served well while mixing up its attack, a big key to their win against West (22-13) was their effective blocking.

It was the second time this season that Central beat West with something significant on the line. The Wildcats also won in two sets when the teams met in the Minooka Invite finals.

“West definitely had a lot going for it with their outside [Brian Lyman] back and having home-court advantage,” Hurlburt said. “But our guys played wonderfully and kept up the momentum from [Monday]. Our middles have really stepped up their games significantly and that anchors our defense. What I’ve loved about our season is that we’re playing our best volleyball at the present time. We couldn’t be happier since this is the farthest that we’ve been in school history and we’re excited to be

playing Joliet Catholic.”

Kyle Oehler led the Wildcats with five blocks while Tom Poznanski (eight kills, four aces) and Gage Wuestenfeld (six kills) chipped in with three blocks apiece. Gavin Broekema added eight digs while Noah Randall handed out 20 assists for the winners.

“This was definitely the best blocking that we’ve had all season,” Wuestenfeld said.

“We really knew that we had to step it up for regionals since Joliet West was one of the best teams that we’ve played. This was the best that we played overall all season and everyone came ready to play. Our new coaching staff has obviously brought us a long ways and everyone has improved phenomenally. On day one, we couldn’t have beat a team like this.”

Both sets were tight around the midway mark but the

Wildcats gradually started to pull away in each and West was unable to provide any late drama.

“This was a real team effort and everyone gave 100 percent,” Broekema said. “It was the best that I’ve seen our team play all season and I’m really proud of the guys. Our blockers are doing a lot better now and everyone is doing a fantastic job. This is the farthest that we’ve ever been and that’s really exciting. And I’m ready to make some more team history.”

While the Tigers easily finished with their best showing since the school split, there was the usual disappointment that accompanies the end of a special season.

West played in the finals of three of its tournaments and also took third place in the rugged SouthWest Suburban Blue. That’s why coach Jason

Herrmann was hoping his squad might be able to advance to sectional competition.

Instead, he had to have one final post-match talk with seniors Brian Lyman (12 kills), Noah Slowik (23 assists), Brett Tacchia (four kills), Armani Foster and Dominic Galvan about what they’ve done in their careers to benefit future Tiger squads.

“We played really good in spurts but couldn’t really manage to string anything together, and part of that is because Central played really well,” Herrmann said. “This is the best team that we’ve had as Joliet West and it’s a testament to those 13 young men. The seniors worked hard and listened and were a great group of kids and we’re going to miss them. I’m so proud of where they’ve come from and they laid a good foundation for teams to come.”

throughout his baseball career, which included two productive years each at Florida

Gulf Coast Community College and Louisville, he has struck out only once.

“It has been a rough start,” he said. “I’ve been making some changes. All I can do is keep working at it. I have to slow the game down here on this level.”

This is Ratajczak’s first venture into pro ball.

“Nick is a gamer,” Zeller said. “He comes to play every day. He’s been on the ball at the plate, he just hasn’t started to barrel it up yet.”

Zeller took a few minutes before the game to recall Joliet’s 2011 championship season.

“I had Billy Petrick, Brian Smith and [Ryan Quigley] to put out there in the seventh, eighth and ninth innings,” he smiled. “That whole season was a great experience.

I wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

Washington came to town with a 5-4 record, matching that of the Slammers. The Wild Things lost their first three but won five of six on their recent homestand. They came to town hitting .277, second in the league and had scored 52 runs, also second.

Their potent offense was on display at Silver Cross Field, albeit in an abbreviated night.

Stewart James, who played college ball with Ratajczak at Louisville, and CJ Beatty had solo home runs and Jim Vahalik and Maxx Garrett already had long doubles. The Wild Things recorded seven hits in all and scored four of their runs in the second inning, one in the third and one in the fourth.

The Slammers scored their only run in the third inning as Max Casper was hit by a pitch for the sixth time this season, moved to third on Darian Sandford’s double and scored on Marquis Riley’s groundout.

But a baserunning mistake may have cost the Slammers a better inning. adno=0272084

JOLIET – A homecoming celebration for a couple members of the Washington Wild Things took a turn for the drenching Tuesday night at Silver Cross Field.

Wild Things manager Bart Zeller, who led the Slammers to the Frontier League championship in 2011, their first season of existence, returned as Washington’s manager. His team jumped on Slammers starter Andrew Busby and was off to a 6-1 lead entering the bottom of the fourth inning.

However, the game’s second rain delay, which began at 8:35 p.m., left severe puddling along the first-base line and elsewhere, causing suspension of play at 8:51 p.m. The nine-inning game will be resumed at that point at 5 p.m. Wednesday, and it will be followed by the regularly scheduled game, a seven-inning affair.

Wild Things second baseman Nick Ratajczak, who led Joliet Catholic to the Class 3A state championship in 2009, had friends and family in the crowd. He was not in Zeller’s original lineup but was inserted shortly before game time.

Ratajczak, hitting eighth, popped out to shortstop in his first at-bat and drilled a hard single to the hole at short in his second trip. The Slammers’ Max Casper made a diving stop but could not get the speedy Ratajczak at first.

Local tennis qualifiers aim to make noise at state

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, May 28, 2014

26 7 singles, 12 doubles advance to tourney from area schools

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The four singles players who advanced through the boys tennis Joliet Township Sectional last Saturday have an opportunity to make some noise at this weekend’s state tournament.

No fooling. The group that included sectional champion Tom Carney of Joliet, runner-up Jack Geissler of Joliet Catholic, third-place finisher Nick Urban of Lemont and fourth-place finisher Miguel Rayos del Sol of Romeoville was eye-catching in the sectional.

“This is one of the more polished group of singles players to come out of the local sectional,” said Scott Allgood, coach of sectional champion Joliet Catholic.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of them went two or three days into the state tournament,” Romeoville coach George Joyce said. “They’re all underclassmen, too, and the competition is just going to increase around here.

That’s good to see for this area.”

Carney and Urban are juniors while Geissler and Rayos del Sol are sophomores.

“Our sectional is very tough in singles,” said Urban, the No. 1 sectional seed. “I definitely think our singles qualifiers can do some damage at state.”

With at least a couple of extremely talented singles players entering high school next fall – one at Lockport and one at Joliet – next year’s sectional could be incredible.

Another aspect of the strong singles play in the sectional, however, was that doubles slid into the background a bit. It was largely because of doubles that JCA won the regional championship, even though Lockport juniors Mike Hasler and Pat Piwoni beat both JCA duos in the semifinals and finals.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if a couple of [the singles qualifiers] went two or three days into the state tournament. They’re all underclassmen, too, and the competition is just going to increase around here.

That’s good to see for this area.”

George Joyce Romeoville boys tennis coach

Dominic Bertino-Nate Naal finished second and Ryan Hippman-Dyllan Mattea fourth for the Hilltoppers.

Lemont’s Nathan Burner-Joe Ziebell finished third and was huge in the Indians finishing only two points behind JCA in the team standings.

“This is incredible,” Allgood said of the Hilltoppers’ first sectional title since 2004.

“We have a group of kids who are all in the top 25 in their class, they’re in National Honor Society, they’re leaders.

“All our doubles players are seniors. They led us to a 19-4 dual record. They played as well here as we had hoped they would. Our No. 1 team [Bertino-Naal] earned their No. 2 seed. The Lockport team that beat them is a tough team.”

The Porters’ Piwoni said the sectional showed that “we can go out and win against good teams.”

“A real benefit of winning the sectional is we won’t have to play a seeded team in the first round at state,” said

Hasler, who went to state last year as a partner with then-senior Lucas Randall.

Indeed, as always, the draw will affect how much success local doubles teams realize at state.

Elsewhere around the area, Lincoln-Way East breezed to the title in the sectional it hosted. The Griffins qualified the maximum two singles players and two doubles teams. Rohan Piska was first and Nikhil Piska fourth in singles. Tom Emola-Jarek Jozwik beat Colin Walsh-Connor VanderGenugten in an all-East doubles final.

Lincoln-Way Central’s Ryan Champlin finished second and advanced Plainfield South qualified Austin Russell in singles and Ricky Hamilton-Brian Ward in doubles at the Plainfield East Sectional, Plainfield Central’s doubles team of DJ Dolantone-Neal Madarang also qualified.

Area Class 3A, 4A teams ready for semifinals

Dick Goss get an out or pitch the last inning in a game between starts.

However, unlike softball, you will not be starting the same kid in the regional final who started the semifinal game.

For example, take the much-anticipated Joliet Catholic Regional. The semifinals are on tap Wednesday and Thursday, the title game at 10 a.m. Saturday.

If you’re JCA coach Jared Voss, you have two strong choices in Nick Dalesandro and Drake Fellows, and a good third option in Kyle Polaski.

Dalesandro and Fellows are likely to start Thursday and Saturday, in either order, and whatever the decision, it would be difficult to argue.

Of course, Lincoln-Way West will have plenty to say about whether JCA even plays Saturday. The Warriors’ ace, Steve Skolarz, was not pitching the first half of this season because of a tender elbow.

He’s back now, and it will be interesting to see what direc-

Lemont, the No. 1 regional seed, has an ace left-hander Mike Latz, who is headed to Louisiana State University, along with his catcher, Mike Papierski. Charlie Wright, another lefty, is not a bad pitching option in his own right.

Oak Forest has had an excellent season, recently beat Lemont and will be a formidable semifinal opponent for the Indians. Does Lemont coach Brian Storako save Latz with the idea he will start against

Lincoln-Way West or JCA on Saturday, or does he use him against Oak Forest?

Decision, decisions.

In Class 4A, the Plainfield South Regional is interesting.

Right-hander Shane Ritter pitched a no-hitter in Monday’s regional quarterfinal, leading South to a 3-0 win over Joliet Central and a berth in Wednesday’s semifinal against No. 1 seed Minooka.

The Cougars’ ace is lefthander Trevor Henderson, one of the best in the area.

Minooka knows it is in for a

battle. The Indians likely will go with their ace, Mitch Vogrin, in what could be a thriller of a semifinal.

Providence enters its first game in the Class 4A Andrew Sectional as the No. 6 seed, while Lockport is No. 9. The two will meet at 4:30 p.m.

Wednesday in the Lockport Regional semifinal at Ed Flink Field.

Two storied programs, and a neighborhood rivalry to boot.

Both coaches, Providence’s Mark Smith and Lockport’s Andy Satunas, will go with their best pitchers, the pitchers they feel will give them the best chance to win.

After Jake Godfrey threw so well last week against JCA last week in the Bajenski Memorial Tournament, I anticipate him being on the mound for the Celtics. Noah Masa could get the call for the Porters.

Whoever wins, that pitcher will not be starting in Saturday’s regional final. But sometimes, as they say, you have to win the first one before worrying about the next one.

Nobody said coaching decisions were easy.

“Let’s see, do we pitch Billy in the semifinals and save Johnny for the championship game?”

“Billy pitched well once before against that team we’re playing in the semis. He should be able to do it again.

Besides, he’s left-handed, and our opponent hasn’t fared well against lefties.”

“All well and good, but Johnny is our staff ace. What if we don’t start Johnny, we lose our first game and he never gets to pitch in the postseason?”

Class 3A and 4A baseball coaches and their staffs around the state are going through that sort of thought process this week as they prepare for the regional semifinals and, hopefully, finals.

Starting pitchers in high school baseball typically get at least three and in many cases four days between starts.

BLACKHAWKS ANALYSIS

It’s time for the Hawks to get angry

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com There was an eerie calm in the Blackhawks’ dressing room after Monday night’s 5-2 flameout against the Los Angeles Kings. Jonathan Toews, Duncan Keith and Patrick Kane all stood at their lockers and spoke in measured tones, using mild platitudes and showing a quiet confidence.

They shrugged and talked about winning just one game and going from there. They nodded and said that, yes, the fact that they’ve come back from a 3-1 series deficit before, just last year, does help.

They talked about finding their “swagger” again.

This didn’t seem like a team on the brink of elimination. This seemed like a team mired in a brief slump in mid-January.

The most heated term they used to describe their mindset was “frustrated.” Not furious. Not embarrassed.

Not concerned. Not desperate. Like it or not, the Hawks don’t do furious. They don’t do desperate.

No matter the situation, no matter the challenge, the Hawks always convey that unwavering sense of confidence, one that borders on arrogance.

It’s a championship mindset, and it’s the hallmark of a great team that never feels it’s out of it.

But, man, you would have liked to have seen someone angry in there. Someone breathing fire. Someone taking themselves and their teammates to task for a disastrous first half of the game that saw key players make costly mistakes – Brent Seabrook getting outworked down low by Kings forwards camping out in front of Corey Crawford, Keith with a turnover that led to a goal, Patrick Sharp with an unnecessary roughing penalty, Andrew Shaw with a foolish cross-check 190 feet from his

The Blackhawks players leave after their team’s 5-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings in Game 4 of the Western Conference finals Monday.

Next vs. Los Angeles, 7 p.m. today, NBCSN, AM-720 own goal.

Toews said after Game 3 that the Hawks need to play “[ticked] off.” That’s good.

But they need to actually be ticked off, too. The past three games weren’t about puck luck, about “the bounces” going against the Hawks. They were about a Kings team that looks faster, deeper and flatout better than the Hawks do right now.

Yet the Hawks remained cool and collected, repeating the things they said after Game 4 in Detroit last year almost verbatim. To be fair, it’s understandable why.

“We were in the same position last year,” Kane said. “You can look back and say, ‘We came out and were successful, so we can’t we do it again?’ It’s tough with the position we’re in right now, but at the same time, we still feel good about our team in here, and we all know we’ve done it before. You have to have that confidence of trying to win the next game and see what happens.”

Yes, you have to have that confidence. And clearly, even battling whatever injuries

and mental fatigue they insist they’re not battling, the Hawks still do have it.

And it’d be beyond foolish to write this team off down 3-1 – they’re too good, too proud, to go down without a fight.

But this is as dire as it gets for a team.

The Hawks can take solace in the fact the Kings are the streakiest team in the NHL – six times during this season, they’ve lost at least three straight games, including twice in the postseason. They even can take solace in the fact that the Kings themselves have proven that no lead is safe – they came back from 3-0 down against San Jose in the first round, then won Games 6 and 7 against Anaheim after losing three straight.

But the Hawks shouldn’t be looking for solace and comfort. They should be most uncomfortable right now, and using that discomfort as motivation – motivation to change their mind-set, to change their suddenly passive style of defense and penalty killing, to change their fortunes.

It’s time to get angry. Time to get desperate. Time to do something – anything – to turn this thing around.

Because there’s a fine line between defiance and denial.

McClellin ‘very excited’ to be playing linebacker

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – The instincts, Shea McClellin insists, are there.

But the work that remains before the former first-round draft pick considers himself a full-blown linebacker after spending his first two years with the Bears at defensive end, McClellin understands, is fairly obvious.

McClellin spent the first day of organized team activity moving between the “Sam” and “Mike” linebacker slots, getting his first onfield taste of what his career will look like. The opening day of drills continues a transformation that not only includes where McClellin plays, but also how he looks doing it.

McClellin’s personal trainer Scot Prohaska tweeted photos last month, highlighting a physical change that has included McClellin dropping 11 pounds (from 263 to 252) and 8 percent body fat (from 18 percent to 10).

McClellin said Tuesday that the Bears have set his target weight at between 245 and 250 pounds.

With the physical change almost complete, the rest will take place in the linebackers meeting room and on the field. Although Tuesday demonstrated there still is plenty to be put into practice, McClellin – who made 10 starts at defensive end and registered four sacks last year – said the move to linebacker puts him at a position that is a “natural fit.”

“I think [playing linebacker] is what I should be doing and I’m very excited about it,” he said. “As a player, you’re going to do what they tell you to and I was fine with playing (defensive) end.

They wanted me to rush the passer and I think that’s one of my best strengths and so I was fine with it.”

But immediately after last season ended, McClellin was informed that the Bears planned to move him

“He’s an athlete; he’s an athletic linebacker.

And athletic linebackers can play in this league” Lance Briggs Bears linebacker on McClellin to linebacker – a position he hadn’t played full-time since high school. He immediately began to work on the transition, making both physical and mental adjustments that would make the move smooth.

He got into the playbook and looked to linebacker Lance Briggs for assistance, looking for any help that could aid him in the adjustment. Although he remains a work in progress, his teammates sense that the move could be the right one for McClellin.

“He’s an athlete; he’s an athletic linebacker,” Briggs said Tuesday. “And athletic linebackers can play in this league.”

After two seasons that he admitted “weren’t the best,” McClellin believes a fresh start at linebacker could be positive. There will be adjustments to be sure, going from moving forward to playing more upward and lateral.

Asked what specifically he has to work on, McClellin answered with a quick response.

“A lot,” he said. “It’s not just one or two things. It’s a lot.”

Although McClellin is fully prepared to make the jump to linebacker, at least one of his teammates admitted Tuesday that the transition McClellin finds himself in the midst of isn’t one everyone could make.

“The cool part is that he’s athletic enough to do it,” defensive end Jared Allen said. “It’s one of those things where the more things you can do in this league, the longer you’ll be around. Obviously, they feel he has worth coming back off the edge.”

FOOD JJC prepares for second annual Farmers Market

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

If you go

dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It’s not just lettuce and radishes.

While Joliet Junior College’s Farmers Market offers a variety of locally grown fresh produce, its 25 vendors also will sell pasture-raised meats, gluten-free and other specialty baked items, artisan cheese and even handmade soaps, JJC horticulture professor Donna Theimer said.

JJC’s second annual Farmers Market is scheduled to run 2 to 6 p.m. every Thursday (except July 3) starting this week, thanks to a $92,000 grant awarded to the college in 2012 from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farmers Market Promotion Program (FMPP), Theimer said.

“We’re the only community college in the United States that received this grant,” Theimer said.

A news release added that JJC was just one of 131 projects (community-supported agricultural programs, as well as farmers markets) in 39 states to receive this funding, which is meant to “increase and strengthen direct producer-to-consumer marketing channels.”

It’s also why JJC’s farmers market will accept SNAP/ LINK funds for certain items, along with an opportunity for those recipients to earn additional tokens to spend, thanks to a generous donation, Theimer said.

“We want to encourage

n WHAT: Second annual Joliet Junior College Farmers Market n WHEN: Every Thursday from 2 to 6 p.m. Thursday through Sept.

also added.

Sometimes, Theimer said, people shy away from farmers markets, preferring to take advantage of grocery store sales. But grocery stores, Theimer said, also are based on volume.

The discounts are because of stores’ ability to buy a thousand cases of lettuce, Theimer said. But the JJC Farmers Market offers an advantage many grocery stores cannot offer.

“This lettuce [at JJC] was grown by independent individuals near JJC,” Theimer said, “so the price may be higher than in a grocery store.”

Last year, the numbers of participating vendors ranged from 15 to 28, Theimer said.

Twenty-five vendors will be present on opening day, and Theimer hopes to add another five vendors as the summer

progresses. Last year’s market, Theimer said, was well attended by the community.

“In one week, we had 750 individuals on the site,” Theimer said.

To further support local businesses, Theimer said this year, vendors aren’t paying a vending fee. Any money made at the JJC Farmer’s Market stays with the vendors, she added.

One returning vendor is the family owned and operated Dover’s Trail Natural Farms in Minooka. Koren Finnestad, co-owner along with her husband David Finnestad, said she and David had lived on the farm for 20 years, raising beef, chicken and eggs for profit and gardening for fun.

“We used to give away our produce,” Finnestad said.

“People always enjoyed it.”

Three years ago, when their oldest son, Jeremiah, transitioned into growing organic hay – along with maintaining the previous business, which includes the sale

• Lange’s Farm: vegetable varieties • Mr. Salty: flavors of freshmade kettle corn, lemon shakeups, cotton candy, nachos • Nuts for Soap, Inc.: all handmade soap, serums, lotions, balms • The Olive Gallery: specialty oils, balsamic vinegars, spices • Parmesans Woodstone Pizza: pizza by the slice, take and bake pizza, pizza pop (stuffed

breads), assorted fresh pastry, cheesy breads, pesto sauce, flat breads • Ms. P’s Gfree: gluten-free cakes, cookies, muffins, pies • Real Appeal, Inc.: gluten-free packaged goods • Rich’s Sharpening Service: knife and tool sharpening service • Sinfully Delicious: gluten-free baked goods • Sunset Growers: greenhouse

“This token program is one way to do that.”

Rachel Rose, JJC communications and media specialist, said patrons using SNAP/ LINK funds take their cards on market day to the market manager’s desk to receive tokens. The tokens may be used on any market day, not just the day of purchase, Rose added.

Those patrons may receive any dollar amount in blue tokens, Rose said. Then, thanks to donations from three JJC Foundation members – The Holly Club of Joliet, Rotary Club of Joliet and Shorewood HUGS – matching funds up to $10 will be given in red tokens. Tokens may be spent only on select items, such as fresh produce, Rose added.

JJC purchased the actual tokens with grant money, Rose

of freshly butchered, never frozen chicken – Koren and David decided to change, too.

They now grow 2,000 square feet of produce in 100-foot long beds and steadily sell what they grow, Koren said.

“We harvest all summer long,” Koren said.

Having raised their six home-schooled children – ages 24, 22, 18, 16, 14 and 8 – on a hormone- and pesticide-free diet, Koren felt other people should have access to similar foods.

Their seasonal items include snap peas, peppers, many varieties of tomatoes and squash, three varieties of kale, two varieties of beets, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, Swiss chard, rutabagas, onions, green beans, spinach, kohlrabi, potatoes, arugula and seven varieties of lettuce, Koren said.

“We’re hoping to do watermelon and cantaloupe this year,” Koren said.

Drover’s Trail Natural Farms’ custom-bagged salads are popular with customers, Koren said. Just pick out any combination of lettuce and vegetables and the Finnestads will pack them up, she added.

The salads, like all their produce, come with a 100 percent money back guarantee, Koren said. Just once in three years did someone return to claim that guarantee.

“It was an elderly lady that had bought a bag of spring mix,” Koren said. “She said, ‘I don’t think this was spun enough.’ ”

Vendors for this year’s JJC’s Farmers Market The vendors participating at the second annual JJC Farmer’s Market include: • Albo Acres: alpaca fiber garments and toys • Arnold’s Farm: frozen cuts of beef, pork and chicken, grilled sausage, pulled pork and/or Italian beef sandwiches • Auntie Vee’s Cupcakes: cupcakes, cookies, pies • Buddy’s Biscuit Bakery:

all-natural dog treats • County Pond Gardens: assorted fresh vegetables • Dee Dee’s Delights: cookies, brownies, peanut butter cups • Drover’s Trail Natural Farms: fresh produce • Enjoi Bakery: cookies, cakes, brownies • Grow Tower Gardens: tower garden set-up • Harrison L. Frazier: fresh corn

plants • Sweetchick Soapery: handmade artisan soap, body butter, bubble bath bars • Will County Land Use: willcountygreen.com • Stamper Cheese: artisan cheese • The Private Bank: promote local bank

32 CROSSWORD

There is always an exception

CELEBRITY CIPHER

This week we are studying “finessing against partner” by third hand. This happens when that defender plays a card lower than his highest. This was the rule I gave yesterday: When dummy has one honor, third hand holds a higher honor, and dummy plays low, (normally) third hand saves his honor when he can insert a nine or higher.

However, as you know, there always seem to be exceptions to the rule. The most common is highlighted by today’s deal.

South is in four spades.

West leads the club three. What should happen?

North made a game-invitational limit raise, promising at least four-card spade support with 10-12 support points (high-card points plus short-suit points) and eight losers (here, two spades, one heart, two diamonds and three clubs). South has just enough to try for the game bonus.

West’s normal lead is a low club. It is true that if this saves declarer a guess in the suit, a trump start would probably have been safer. But usually it is better to defend actively, not passively.

If East puts in his club nine at trick one, declarer will win with his 10 and drive out the spade ace. East can then return a low club, but South will put up his king, knowing that West wouldn’t lead away from an ace at trick one. Declarer would lose only one spade, one heart and one club.

Let’s go back to the first trick and have East win it with his club ace, then lead back the nine (the higher of two remaining cards). Now South must lose one spade, one heart and two clubs.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips should go with him – on your way out the door.

Dear Abby: I have a friend, “Michelle,” who is attractive, intelligent and works as a teacher’s assistant in a public school.

What I can’t understand is, she refuses to go anywhere without her 33-year-old daughter, “Chloe.” They even dress alike.

Chloe is pretty and doesn’t have a boyfriend. When Chloe goes out with friends, her mother rings her cellphone over and over until Chloe turns it off.

What do you think is the problem? If Michelle and I go someplace, she wants to bring Chloe, or she calls her and has her come to where we are. Chloe complains to me that she wants her freedom, but Mom accuses her of not loving her, and cries and makes her feel guilty.

Chloe is a college graduate.

Her mother allows her to work,

but she must come straight home afterward. I’m confused, Abby. What can I do? – Something’s Not Right

Dear Something’s Not Right: How sad for Chloe. Michelle’s relationship with her daughter is more “smotherhood” than motherhood. It’s not healthy for either of them. Your friend appears to be unable to see Chloe as separate from herself – which is why she wants them to dress like twins and becomes anxious when Chloe is with friends instead of by her side.

The kindest thing you could do for the young woman would be to tell her to discuss this with a licensed mental health professional, because she will need help and support in severing the umbilical cord at this late date.

That won’t be easy. There will be pain involved for both Chloe and her desperately possessive mother, but if Chloe is going to have an independent life, it has to happen.

Weight loss, healthy diet are best medicine for diabetics Dear Doctor K: I have Type 2 diabetes. Is there anything I can do to cut down on my medications?

Dear Reader: Yes. In fact, some of my patients have entirely eliminated their need for medication with aggressive lifestyle changes.

And many more have reduced the number or the dose of the medications they are taking with the same lifestyle changes.

You can reduce or eliminate multiple medications even if you’ve been taking them for a long time. The secret: You must lose weight and make a lifelong commitment to a healthy diet and regular exercise. That’s not a surprise. An unhealthy diet, lack of regular exercise and weight gain all play a big role in causing Type 2 diabetes in the first place.

People with Type 2 diabetes have elevated levels of blood sugar, or glucose. That’s because glucose cannot get from the blood into cells, which need it for energy. It takes a key to open the door to your cells and let in the sugar that’s in the blood. This key is the hormone insulin. In Type 2 diabetes, insulin can’t effectively open the cell doors. This is known as insulin resistance.

Your pancreas initially tries

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff to overcome insulin resistance by producing more insulin. This leads to a vicious cycle of continually rising insulin levels, greater insulin resistance and more insulin production. Eventually, the pancreas cannot keep up with the demand for more insulin. You wind up with a “pooped pancreas.” That’s when your blood sugar starts to rise.

Losing weight can reverse the course of Type 2 diabetes. It does so by making your cells more sensitive to insulin. Weight loss can also help prevent long-term diabetes-related health problems.

These include heart disease and damage to the nerves, kidneys and eyes.

How does losing weight help make your cells more sensitive to insulin and thereby lower your blood sugar levels? One theory is that your fat cells make a hormone that then travels in the blood and causes cells to resist the effect of insulin. The fatter your fat cells get, the more of this

hormone is produced. One candidate hormone called “resistin” has been discovered, and its role in causing insulin resistance is being studied.

Regular exercise promotes weight loss by burning calories.

Even if regular exercise does not cause you to lose weight, it decreases your insulin resistance.

Recently, another hormone called “irisin” was discovered here at Harvard Medical School. When you exercise, your muscles make more of this hormone. As a result, you burn more fat.

In their instructive new book, “The Diabetes Breakthrough,” my colleague Dr. Osama Hamdy, medical director at Harvard Medical School-affiliated Joslin Diabetes Center, and Sheri Colberg lay out a specific program of weight loss through diet and exercise to help you reverse Type 2 diabetes and reduce or even discontinue your diabetes medications. You can learn more about this book on my website, AskDoctorK.com.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and have been a pen pal with a 16-year-old boy from Ontario, Canada, for the past year and a half.

We write to each other once a week – faithfully.

It has been a wonderful experience and I look forward to receiving his letters and answering them the same day. Matthew lives in St. Catharines and it sounds like a super place to live.

I’ve learned a lot about ice-skating, ice hockey and ice fishing on Lake Ontario.

I’ve informed Matthew about living in the beautiful San Joaquin Valley of California.

Lately Matthew has been writing that he thinks he loves me and that he would like us to go steady even though we have never met each other. He says that he is coming to visit me when he graduates from high school in two years.

We have traded photographs so we know what the other person looks like, and he did call me for Valentine’s Day. I honestly admit that I sort of like Matthew in a romantic sort of way, even though we haven’t yet met, and the thought of going steady with a pen pal is intriguing. However, I still haven’t decided and that’s why I’m writing to you. I’d like your opinion. – Kim, Fresno, Calif.

Dear Kim: I think that having a pen pal is wonderful, and I can understand the mystery of romance that can creep into a long-distance correspondence, but I see no value in going steady. Why eliminate the opportunity of dating because you are going steady with someone you have never met and wouldn’t see for at least two years?

Wait until you both have had time to spend together before making that decision. It would

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace be a huge waste of time to go steady for two years and then discover when you meet face to face that, while you like each other, the “magnetic” attraction is missing.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and a high school graduate, and I have a job working for an insurance company. I’m dating a guy in the office who is quite a bit older than I. He is the first guy I have fallen in love with. He is my true love, and I would like to have a “serious” relationship with him that could lead to us getting married, but he said that marriage is out of the question because he has been married and divorced twice, and he won’t get married again.

But he says he loves me and wants to keep our relationship strong.

He also said that there might come a time when we can live together.

I’m not positive if he loves me or if he is just using me. We are sexually very active.

I’m confused and don’t know what to do. There are times I feel like I should look elsewhere for love and there are times when I think that I could change his mind regarding marriage.

Your advice will be appreciated. – Nameless, Michigan City, Ind. Dear Nameless: I honestly believe this guy is using you and will do anything possible, short of marriage, to keep you for his satisfaction.

End the relationship and continue looking for your true love. This guy says that he loves you, but I doubt that he is serious.

Dear Abby: I met the most wonderful man on a dating site.

We seemed to hit it off. In fact, we are falling in love with each other. But he isn’t ready for an exclusive relationship and still wants to date. He gets on the dating sites when I’m asleep in his bed.

I really care for him, but I don’t want to pressure him. He has told me he loves me, but right now he just wants to be friends. He says I should also date, but how do you turn off love? – Sad And Confused Dear Sad And Confused: Please don’t think I’m unkind, but when a man is falling in love with a woman, he does not creep out of bed in the dead of night to visit dating sites.

He also doesn’t tell her to date other people.

Although you may love this guy, from where I sit, when he said he “just wants to be friends,” it appears he meant friends with benefits. Because you are looking for more than that, the next time he gets out of bed to peruse a dating site, you

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – As you go forward this year, your ability to trust in your capabilities will make it easier to approach others. If you state your needs in a straightforward manner, options will open up for you. Your increasing confidence and maturity will help you get what you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Be resolute in showing your friends and family what is expected of them and what you will do in return.

Until you deal with the problems at home, they will keep growing.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You may not be getting the whole picture. Don’t make a decision until all the information is available.

Get the facts first. A hasty choice could cost you down the road.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You may see yourself heading toward adopting a different lifestyle.

Find out all you can about the changes you are considering by attending a seminar relevant to your tastes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t be pressured into spending money on an unknown or questionable cause. You work too hard to lose your cash on someone else’s whim. Say no, and be firm.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Support will be yours, with people freely offering assistance that will enable you to reach your goals. You will be able to breeze through any and all assignments that come your way.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – The creativity that has benefited your financial situation can be put to good use helping others. Offer your assistance, but be wary of taking on too many ventures at once.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Partnerships and cooperative efforts will take a lot of your energy. Don’t act in haste. It will require patience on your part to make things happen favorably.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Go over your projects with a fine-toothed comb before you present what you have to offer. You risk failure and disappointment if you let some careless mistake slip through your guard.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Try brainstorming with friends who share your concerns and interests. A profitable venture can be yours if you are able to sell your plan to the right individual or organization.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Make sure that you are prepared for anything that comes along. You may have to make some adjustments to your original plans, but if you are flexible, you will achieve your goal.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You will be able to take advantage of any situation that comes your way. Friends and colleagues will be impressed by your abilities, and you will gain respect and support.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Your intuition is very sharp. Have faith in what you do. Stick to your game plan and don’t be led astray by false promises. Follow your heart.

Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix) gets Ewa (Marion Cotillard) off Ellis Island and into prostitution, a role that tortures both characters in James Gray’s “The Immigrant.”

‘The Immigrant’: Sisters yearn to breathe free

By JOHN DEFORE Special To The Washington Post Signaling the nature of its story from the very first frame, James Gray’s “The Immigrant” shows the Statue of Liberty with its back turned to us, blind to the hardships its title character will suffer in her attempt to accept that famous “huddled masses” invitation.

Lady Liberty will appear later in perverted form, the embodiment of what this young Polish woman must do to survive in a land bent on exploiting her. But even when using symbols that are as obvious as those found in the century-old melodramas his characters would have consumed, Gray directs this handsome and evocative film with emotional restraint, making its archetypal title character a living individual whose moral journey is never simple.

Marion Cotillard plays that woman, Ewa, who arrives at Ellis Island in 1921 with her tubercular sister, Magda. Officials quarantine Magda, as the sisters feared, but they deny entry to Ewa as well; someone, it appears, has spread rumors about her behavior on the long voyage from Europe. She “may be a woman of low morals,” a clerk coldly says, and in any event, the aunt and un-

cle who had promised to host her aren’t here, and “we do not allow unescorted women into this country.”

Frightened and confused, Ewa finds help from a mysterious, well-dressed stranger. Bruno (Joaquin Phoenix) is the kind of man who knows how to circumvent bureaucracy; he gets her off the island and to the Lower East Side, where he seems to be a prince of the tenements. The emcee at a raucous little place called the Bandits’ Roost, he works with vaudevillians and a flock of female entertainers he calls “my doves.” He welcomes Ewa with a generosity that arouses suspicions (for both viewers and the heroine) despite his obvious sincerity.

Bruno is a pimp. And although he had different things in mind for Ewa, he is soon showing her that selling herself is the only way she’ll earn enough money to bribe guards and get Magda out of quarantine.

Phoenix makes this reluctant seducer a fascinatingly complex character, genuinely confused about the entwinement of generosity and possessiveness, who becomes violently unpredictable when another man enters the picture.

Bruno’s cousin Emil (Jeremy Renner), a Houdini-like illusionist, woos Ewa

in a straightforward way Bruno can’t, fueling a rivalry that disrupts the entire Bandits’ Roost environment.

The movie’s re-creation of 1921 New York feels lived-in, its saloons and street life as period-specific as, say, those in “Once Upon a Time in America,” without straining to impress us with their authenticity.

Cotillard’s performance is similarly unshowy: Bottled-up Ewa doesn’t advertise her desperation or weep over necessary sins; she does what her situation requires. Cotillard’s eyes reveal both hardness and fear. Only toward the end does her perspective widen, allowing the character to defend her own behavior to outsiders in a position to judge.

“I am learning the power of forgiveness,” she tells one, perhaps not realizing how broadly that power applies.

So many players in this tale require mercy, from themselves and each other.

Whether the god Ewa prays to sees anything to forgive is another matter.

• “The Immigrant” received threand-a half stars out of four. The film is rated R and contains sexual content, nudity and some strong language. It runs 120 minutes.
