Who else was happy to wake up Saturday morning to see the sun?

I’m not sure about anyone else, but this past week was long. And the gloomy weather certainly didn’t help.

My plans for Saturday include spending much of the day outside to soak up some rays. The yard has some weeds that need pulling, and there’s a flea market I want to check out.

That said, I’d be remiss if I didn’t first tell you, before I head outside, about a few style changes planned for this week in The Herald-News. While small in nature, I like keeping readers informed of such things so you’re not surprised when you see them.

They mainly are visual aspects, such as the headers on the top of our pages. We think it’s a cleaner, more reader-friendly look. Let me know what you think.

It’s being done in conjunction with the renaming of a free weekly publication Shaw Media publishes in the Channahon and Minooka communities. It’s been called Minooka-Channahon Life, but we’ve rechristened it Herald Life, as we’re adding Shore-

There are alerts for breaking news, general news for local communities, weather alerts and Amber Alerts, among other options (classified tells me they intend to send alerts for garage sales).

If you’re interested, visit our website, www.theherald-news.com, look at the blue navigation bar along the top of the page and click on “Text Alerts.” If you’re on our homepage, and you don’t see that blue navigation bar along the top but do see three parallel lines to the left of the words “The Herald-News,” click on those three lines and you’ll get a pop-up menu with the same choices.

Pick 4: 3-1-8-6

VIEWS Kate Schott wood to that publication’s circulation area.

The new name of Herald Life provides consistency in the names of other Shaw Media products. With our “Herald” publications based in Joliet and Morris, it seems fitting that this free weekly publications – which focuses on the areas between the two daily publication – should have “Herald” in its name too.

The second word, “Life,” is in the name of almost all of the nearly two dozen other weekly papers Shaw Media owns. We use “Life” as a name to reflect that our publications are about life in their areas.

Man suing Will County, sheriff

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – A Crest Hill man claims guards beat him when he was booked into the Will County Jail in 2012.

An attorney for Khalid M. Hasan, 32, filed suit Wednesday in federal court in Chicago against Will County, Sheriff Paul Kaupas and five correctional officers.

Hasan said Deputies Louaai Tomalich, Martin Sovich, Jason Prokop, Jerry Outlaw and Kevin Brewer conspired to violate his constitutional rights by using excessive force, depriving him of medical care and failing in their duty to intervene. The suit accuses the sheriff and county of setting policies that allowed it to happen.

Both Kaupas and Will County State’s Attorney spokesman

Charles B. Pelkie declined Friday to comment on the lawsuit.

On Nov. 11, 2012, Hasan was arrested by Joliet police after authorities said he threatened his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend at gunpoint when he wasn’t allowed to see his children.

James L. Davis, who had gone to the residence with Hasan, fired another gun in the air before the men fled. Joliet police arrested both men within hours and booked them into the county jail.

“During processing, [Hasan] made a comment questioning the sexuality of one of the deputies [who] frisked his genital area,” the lawsuit states. While Hasan made other comments to the correctional officers, he did not threaten them, according to the suit.

But the deputies “began a savage beating” in the general

processing area and continued beating him in a nearby padded cell, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit does not specify which officers struck Hasan, but said he suffered cuts and bruises, a bloody nose and dislocated shoulder, and spent most of the night lying on the floor of a cell.

Hasan was released on bond the next day and hospitalized, the lawsuit states. Hasan is suing for compensatory damages and attorney fees, as well as punitive damages from the individual deputies. The lawsuit does not specify any financial amount.

Hasan pleaded guilty to reckless discharge of a firearm in June 2013 and was sentenced to four years in prison. He is scheduled to be released on parole from the Sheridan Correctional Center in December.

The Joliet Park District Board’s Wedgewood Golf Course was the only license in Joliet approved by the state’s gaming board last month. Earlier this year, the board also gave the go-ahead for machines at the park district’s Inwood Golf Course. Glen Marcum, the board’s president, said Friday he’s still waiting for the state to approve a third location – Woodruff Golf Course in east Joliet.

It could take up to three months for the machines to be installed, Marcum said. When they arrive, he said he expects them to be profitable.

“We do a lot of golf outings and they can check out the machines when they’re waiting around. It’s all about keeping people around the golf course and bringing in more revenue,” Marcum said.

‘Like Cheers’ Overall, Izquierdo said, his machines have proven to generate reliable dollars for business, either by bringing in new

Roger Syring, 58, of Joliet, is one of those regulars.

“This is home to me. To me, stopping here is just like ‘Cheers,’ ” he laughed Wednesday afternoon, having put $20 in a machine to play his favorite game, Frost & Fire Sevens.

“Everybody knows everybody.

Everybody knows your name.”

He said he used to frequent the casinos in Joliet, but no longer sees a need with some of his favorite games – and his

friends – at his local bar.

“We make jokes here about how long it’s going to take for someone to walk in here, put a $20 in the machine, and win or lose big. My friends are here and we can joke around,” he said. “Each person has their own rhythm and their game of choice. ... I’m not doing too bad today.”

Expansion and exclusion Lawmakers are looking at legislation that creates an exclusion list to keep criminals

and problem gamblers from obtaining a gaming permit. It’s designed to help the Illinois Gaming Board better police the industry, and is similar to the list now used to keep criminals and gamblers away from casinos.

The bill does not, however, keep problem gamblers away from the thousands of terminals throughout the state. It passed out of the Senate 50-2 last month and is headed to the House.

Lawmakers also are looking at a bill that allows truck stops to have twice as many machines as other establishments. Proponents said the exception for truck stops could create more revenue for the state, while opponents said the proposal would eventually lead to the five-machine maximum rule being tossed out entirely.

• Sunday, May 4, 2014

About a year and a half ago, Alfonso “Izzy” Izquierdo’s bar was the only place you could go for video gaming in Joliet.

It was one of the first – and few – test sites selected to help the state’s new gaming law get off the ground.

Today, Izzy’s, 507 Theodore St., competes with at least 58 other Joliet bars, restaurants, fraternal organizations and truck stops that now have terminals, many of which are located within a three-mile radius.

“When I had the machines first, people from the clubs would come here. But now that they have their own, they don’t come. But again, you get new customers,” he said. “I don’t know why the state of Illinois is going that far [in giving out licenses], but that’s their choice. I don’t know what’s going to happen when you flood the market. But that’s the choice they made, and I accept that because I’m doing OK.” With the maximum five-machine setup allowed by state law, Izzy’s remains one of the most lucrative in town for video gaming, topping all other establishments in the city in March with a net income of $32,702, according to the latest figures from the Illinois Gaming Board. State and local government all get a piece of the pie, with state funds going toward construction projects.

With the number of machines in Joliet having tripled in a year’s time, Izquierdo is right on the money with his concerns about other businesses “flooding the market.”

In Joliet, there were 211 terminals as of March, compared to 71 about the same time last year. The same trend can be seen statewide, with nearly 15,700 video gaming machines licensed in the state as of March, compared to the 5,092 about the same time last year.

And it’s unclear when things will truly slow down.

More than 210 licenses state-

Olympian encourages residents to check for utilities before they dig to avoid injuries

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Cliff Meidl is determined to prevent anyone else from going through the horrific ordeal he survived as a young man.

When Meidl was 20, he used a jackhammer at a construction site in Los Angeles that pierced through three unmarked power cables. The damage from the thousands of volts of electricity devastated his body and almost took away his ability to walk.

Since the accident, Meidl, now 48, has nearly recovered from his injuries and went on to become a competitive Olympic kayaker. Now he’s making sure everyone takes the necessary precautions to avoid what happened to him – and possibly suffer a worse outcome than he did.

“We’re trying to spread the awareness with contractors and homeowners to know no matter what type of digging project they do – putting in a mailbox, putting in a fence – you call 8-1-1 before you do any kind of digging,” he said.

In his first visit to Joliet on Friday, Meidl promoted the use of the 8-1-1 service and talked about his triumph over his injuries to a crowd of utility business leaders and members of JULIE, Inc. The nonprofit corporation protects underground utilities and the safety of people who work or live near them.

“One of the most important things is that he’s able to tell a personal story,” said Kevin Chmura, JULIE public relations director. “It personalizes how important it is to make a call to JULIE at 8-11. So I think he’s obviously a

Cliff Meidl tells members of JULIE, Inc. and community members on Friday at the Barber & Oberwortmann Horticultural Center in Joliet how he recovered from a life-threatening digging accident and the importance of calling 8-1-1. leader and tells a compelling story that targets all different audiences.”

People are sometimes unaware of the massive amount of utility infrastructure underground, such as electric cables, gas pipes or communication lines. Meidl said there are about 2.7 million miles of underground pipelines and more than 19 million miles of utilities in the U.S. State law requires people to contact JULIE at least 48 hours in advance before the start of any digging. The service is free and helps identify utilities on people’s property.

“On a statistical standpoint, 25 percent of time, if you do not call 8-1-1, you’re g o i n g t o d a m a g e u n d e rground utilities,” Meidl said.

“Meaning a homeowner is going to chop off a gas line or chop into a gas line, which could be catastrophic.”

Meidl’s own injuries from

digging into power cables when he was 20 almost were catastrophic. But thanks to surgical procedures and encouragement from surgeon Malcolm Lesavoy, he was able to recover and learned to walk again.

While his dreams of running were crushed, he chose to compete in kayaking. He became good enough to compete in the Olympics and was also chosen to carry the U.S. flag at an opening ceremony in Sydney for the 2000 Olympics.

For the past several years, Meidl has advocated the importance of using 8-1-1, while also sharing his story to inspire people like himself to overcome adversities, as Lesavoy did for him.

“It was that little bit of ignition in my heart that the doctor provided me that made me believe that maybe there is a chance,” he said.

Troy District 30-C superintendent leaving

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Superintendent Don White has resigned from Troy Community Consolidated School District 30-C and is taking the equivalent position at Hinsdale Community Consolidated School District 181.

White sent his letter of resignation to the Troy board of education last week, which is now looking for a replacement. He starts with Hinsdale effective May 27, according to a news release posted on that district’s website. White said his last day at Troy will be May 23.

“Troy is a wonderful school district,” White said.

“There is no reason for me to be leaving but bigger opportunities.”

White said he got a call from a search firm six weeks ago about the Hinsdale post.

The Hinsdale board wanted to move quickly, so he accepted the position.

“It took us by surprise, but we weren’t shocked,” said Troy school board Treasurer Anne Carney, adding the board learned White was interviewing at other districts for at least the past year. “We’re sorry to see him go. But Hinsdale is a phenomenal school district.”

White said he looked at opportunities in similar school districts in the past, but was happy at Troy.

Carney said White has done good things for the district, including formalizing a lot of procedures regarding teacher and principal review.

White leaves in a year of union negotiations. While the board deals with union contracts, Carney said the superintendent plays a ma-

“It took us by surprise but we weren’t shocked.

We’re sorry to see him go. But Hinsdale is a phenomenal school district.”

Anne Carney Troy school board treasurer jor role in facilitating the negotiations.

“We have a very good relationship with the union so I don’t see a problem,” Carney said. “But that could change the interest level on the part of the next superintendent.”

The board convened in a special meeting Wednesday to talk about hiring a new superintendent.

Two search firms presented to the board. While it’s late to start a search to have a new superintendent in place for the next school year, the firms remained optimistic because of the pool of qualified candidates, Carney said.

Troy hired BWP & Associates, Ltd., the same search firm that Hinsdale 181 hired to find White.

The board of Hinsdale 181 unanimously approved the hiring of White on Friday afternoon.

White said he’s confident Troy will find a highly qualified person to lead the district.

“The biggest thing I learned at Troy is if you engage people at difficult work they rise to the challenge,” White said. “Every time the teachers and administrators have faced a challenge, they far exceeded it. It increased my enthusiasm for education.”

would be dedicated May 14. An interactive walking tour will include QR codes that will be scannable with a smart phone and link to websites with information about different historical sites.

While the staff is trying to find a permanent spot for the farmers market, the DuPage riverfront is looking like a good option. But this year the farmers market will run from June through September in downtown Plainfield.

The village is trying to entice a movie theater to spur economic growth at 143rd Street and Route 59. The idea is to recruit a number of sit-down and casual dining restaurants.

“Conversations are happening,” Garrigan said.

Trustee Margie Bonuchi and other members of the board said the staff also should look at movie theaters like Hollywood Palms in Naperville that serve a whole night out, including dinner.

Mayor Michael Collins said

meetings with the homeowners associations, another item on the strategic plan, were also productive.

Business and Development

Retail

Garrigan announced that there has been communication with a broker for a large wholesale warehouse user to be located along the Route 59 corridor in 2015 or 2016.

The village also teamed up with Retail Strategies to help promote the village and recruit a hotel or business center along Route 59 or Route 30.

The village was also tasked with investigating the potential of creating a tax-increment financing district along Route 30. But with no support, the village isn’t pursuing it anymore.

Village Infrastructure The Riverfront Foundation has been taking the lead on reinvigorating the DuPage riverfront, but the village is helping out.

The village has also provided help for the Plainfield Township Park District in facilitating construction of the DuPage River Trail pathway, which will be constructed this year, and a new pedestrian bridge over the river.

Removal of debris from the DuPage River has stalled. The village is meeting with the riverfront foundation, Illinois Environmental Protection Agency and the Will County Land Use Department to discuss cleanup.

A usage policy for the riverfront park is also considered a priority as more groups and events like the Farmers Market will be using the space.

Bender told trustees that as elected officials, it was tough to make the commitment to a long-term plan.

“This is fantastic,” Bender said. “I can’t tell you how many people I’ve consulted said they would stick to a plan and a year later they haven’t done anything. These guys have done great.”

PLAINFIELD – The village of Plainfield’s 2013-2018 Strategic Plan has progressed at a fast pace and the village staff is continuing to work on the four key areas of the plan.

“These people are doing a great job,” said Lewis Bender, an independent consultant who guided board members and staff through an informal panel discussion Friday about the strategic plan.

Staff presented an update on the four key areas to Bender and board members.

Department heads discussed where they are with the transportation, community life, business and retail development and infrastructure projects outlined by the strategic plan last summer.

“Complete and Livable Street Plan” focused on pedestrian and bike paths on Van Dyke Road or Meadow Lane.

The panel decided to target higher officials at the Illinois Department of Transportation to address traffic concerns.

They also decided to create a viable strategic approach to gain leverage in discussions with Canadian National to solve issues with train delays.

Pace is planning to add a second bus shelter near Village Center Drive and Van Dyke Road, which will help with parking in the short term.

Truck traffic also is an issue with the village. Director of Public Works Allen Persons said the installation of a decorative mast arm and pavement markers in the summer would help direct trucks off of Lockport Street in the downtown area.

SHOREWOOD – A furnace fire caused an attorney’s office to be evacuated Friday.

Troy Fire Shift Commander Dave Diese said employees were working about 12:26 p.m. when they noticed smoke in the building on Grove Street.

“They were all able to get themselves out without any injury. We found a lot of smoke inside and found fire in the crawlspace next to the furnace,” Diese said.

The blaze was extinguished quickly. The cause of the fire is still being investigated, but it does not appear to be suspicious, Diese said.

May 10 will mark the 22nd anniversary of the National Association of Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive in partnership with the U.S.

Letter carriers’ annual food drive will be May 10

Postal Service, Campbell Soup, Feeding America and other groups.

Currently, 49 million Americans – 1 in 6 – are unsure where their next meal is coming from.

Sixteen million are children who feel hunger’s impact on their overall health and ability to perform in school, according to a news release. And nearly 5 million seniors over age 60 are food insecure, with many living on fixed incomes.

Food banks and pantries often receive the majority of their donations during the holiday season.

By springtime, many pantries are depleted, entering the summer low on supplies at a time when many school breakfast and lunch programs are not available for children in need.

To help, leave a nonperishable food donation in a bag by your mailbox on May 10, and the postal carrier will do the rest.

Sanburg and the cooperative’s program coordinator Kate Ross attended the Morris Planning Commission meeting Wednesday to begin the process of obtaining the necessary zoning permits.

Sanburg said everything is still tentative, but the co-op, GAVC and city will continue to work toward a partnership.

“It sounds like a tremendous program,” planning commission chairman Robert Gilbertson said Wednesday.

“I’m sure there is a need for it, and I think it would be a great thing.”

MORRIS – The half-built home on Indian Grass Road in Morris is known only as “project house #22” for now, but staff at the Grundy County Special Education Cooperative have visions of turning the house into the cooperative’s newest classroom.

The house is one that students from the Grundy Area Vocational Center are building, from the electrical wiring to the basic plumbing. When completed at the end of the next school year, it will have four bedrooms, three baths and a full kitchen.

GAVC board members have suggested using one of the student-built homes for the co-op’s REACH Transition Program, where students would spend their classroom hours in the house learning life skills and independent living.

The transition program, not based at Minooka Community High School, was designed to provide practical life lessons

for special education students ages 18 to 22 who have finished their academic careers and are ready to transition to independent living.

“We saw this as a unique opportunity at a partnership with the vocational center,” said Neil Sanburg, the cooperative’s executive director. “It’s a really neat concept because we would have kids building a house for their classmates to learn in.”

The project is in the preliminary stages, as neither the GAVC or cooperative board have decided to move forward.

But Sanburg said feedback from district superintendents and others has been overwhelmingly supportive.

“Neither one of us has done something like this before, so right now, we are just trying to make sure we are crossing all the T’s and dotting all of the I’s to see if this is possible,” GAVC Director Lance Copes said.

Sanburg said he liked the idea of placing the students in a realistic neighborhood setting. Co-op students would use

Alex Lang from the Czech Republic pretends he’s been arrested by the Mayberry Sheriff in a car driven by Tom Riccolo of Morris who tours the Red Carpet Corridor during the festival to show off the antique police car. alone is worth the trip, knowing that the jail in Gardner didn’t just house criminals is a fun Route 66 fact.

“It wasn’t always for criminals,” Phil said. “Hobos stayed

here and the town would feed them, they’d do some work in return and then hop the train to their next destination.”

David and Carol Holmes and Tony and Tricia Holmes

Route 66 Scenic Byway in Springfield, said their goal as a not-for-profit is to help the small mom-and-pop shops cater to the traveler that comes to experience Route 66 all year long.

In addition to the travelers from England, there were travelers from Denmark, Germany, Australia, Canada, the Czech Republic and Holland signing in at the various stops along the way.

“There is something really amazing about Route 66,” Conn said. “When people see my Route 66 logo on my shirt I’ve gotten more bear hugs than I’d like to admit when they see I represent the mother road.”

Stonich said people are just drawn to the nostalgia and simpler times.

The festival is the first weekend in May each year and is held both Saturday and Sunday.

People from all over the world came to Illinois this weekend to get their Kicks on Route 66, as the eighth annual Red Carpet Corridor Festival got underway on Saturday.

The festival is a multi-municipal destination sale that runs 90 miles along Route 66 from Joliet to Towanda. It features antique, yard, flea and craft sales along the way with destinations handing out collectible postcards for those making the journey.

Phil and Rose Ann Scully of Crest Hill have been doing the tour every year since its inception.

“There is usually something different every year,” Phil said. “The two must stops are the Polka Dot Drive in Wilmington and the two-cell jail in Gardner.”

Rose Ann said the history

came all the way from England to experience Route 66 for themselves.

After spending two cold days in Chicago they were grateful for the warmer weather Saturday to start their journey, one that goes beyond the Red Carpet Corridor that ends in Towanda.

The two couples are taking the trek from Chicago to Los Angeles over the next five weeks.

Elaine Stonich with the Joliet Historical Museum said there were people lined up at the door at 8 a.m. Saturday as she arrived to open the museum two hours earlier than normal.

“We’ve had over 300 people come through and it’s only 12:30 on Saturday afternoon,” she said. “Because it’s publicized we’ve quadrupled our business today.”

Coal City holds off on annexation – for now

By JESSICA BOURQUE wjbourque@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – All 38 homeowners in Coal City’s Prairie Oaks subdivision have signed off on an annexation agreement with the village, but the ordinance authorizing the annexation was put on hold during a Village Board meeting last week.

Annexing the subdivision is part of a larger project connecting Prairie Oaks to Coal City’s sewer sanitation plant since the neighborhood’s private septic system is failing, causing health and safety problems for the residents.

The homeowners are under an Illinois Environmental Protection Agency mandate to have the sewer issues resolved.

Despite resounding support for the annexation, the Village Board opted to wait on the annexation until the bids for the sewage project are received.

“I have to ask, why wouldn’t we just [wait]?” board member Terry Halliday said Monday. “Why would we enter into something without knowing exactly what we’re dealing with?”

The village of Coal City, the residents and the state are contributing most of the money needed for the $925,000 project.

Coal City was awarded a $329,000 community block grant from the state in 2011 to help pay for the project. The remaining project costs will be funded over the next 10 years through a property tax agreement between the homeowners and the village.

According to village documents, connecting the subdivision to the village’s waste treatment plant – which excludes the decommissioning of the subdivision’s currently defunct plant – is expected to cost about $699,000.

Halliday urged the board to wait until the design engineering bids for the project

are received in a few months before annexing the property.

Later during the meeting, the board approved a resolution to move forward with the design engineering phase of the project.

Coal City Mayor Neal Nelson assured the several Prairie Oaks homeowners in attendance that the village is committed to annexing the property.

“In the long run, this will be good for the village,” Nelson said Tuesday. “We want to be good neighbors. We’ve spent thousands of dollars on this project already.”

The homeowners are still searching for funding to decommission their current sewer plant. The cost burden for that part of the project falls solely on the homeowners, who still need $105,000 for the decommissioning.

Village Administrator Matt Fritz said the decommission portion of the project will not affect the annexation.

New Lenox Triple Play concert tickets go on sale

By FELIX SARVER

Know more

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Residents in New Lenox may want to pick up their tickets for the Summer Triple Play concerts sooner rather than later when they go on sale Monday.

The village is offering a three-part concert series – featuring Grammy-award winning musicians – to residents for $50 from Monday through June 13. After June 16, regular tickets for residents and non-residents will be available for $60. Tickets will be sold at Village Hall.

The sixth annual summer concerts sold out in three weeks last year, and village officials expect they’ll sell quickly again this year, Mayor Tim Baldermann said.

“I fully anticipate big crowds early,” he said.

Coming to New Lenox this year is Pat Benatar, Neil Giraldo and John Waite on July 11. Peter Frampton and 10,000 Maniacs are scheduled to play Aug. 2. Finishing the concert series Aug. 30 will be 38 Special and The Fabulous Thunderbirds, featuring Kim Wilson.

Baldermann said the village is excited about the musicians and bands coming to play for the residents.

“They’re going to see some really great national talent out there, so we couldn’t be

more excited,” he said.

Emily Johnson, New Lenox Chamber of Commerce chief executive officer, said she is looking forward to the concerts, which she says have a summer feel that provides great music and fun for a reasonable price.

“I think there are some great acts,” she said. “It is such a great event that really brings out so many of our New Lenox residents and brings the community together.”

Previously, musicians and bands such as Rick Springfield, Foreigner, Bad Company, Styx, REO Speedwagon, Cheap Trick and Blue Oyster Cult played at the concerts.

According to the village’s website, the concert series was started by Baldermann in 2009 to not only provide entertainment for residents but raise funds for special events the village rolls out every year.

Between beer sales and sponsorships, the concerts generate an average profit of about $30,000, Baldermann said. The revenue goes toward events such as fireworks and Christmas events.

High school ag programs flourish as farms dwindle The ASSOCIATED PRESS ST. LOUIS – High school agriculture programs sprouting across the nation’s Corn Belt are teaching teenagers, many of them in urban environments, that careers in the field often have nothing to do with cows and plows.

The curriculums, taking hold as school budgets tighten and the numbers of farms in the U.S. decline, are rich in science and touted as stepping stones for college-bound students considering careers in everything from urban forestry to renewable natural resources and genetic engineering of crops, perhaps for agribusiness giants such as Monsanto, Dow, DuPont and Pioneer.

Ag-minded students are in luck: Tens of thousands of jobs open up each year in the broader agriculture field, and roughly half are filled by college grads with actual ag-related degrees, observers say.

“There’s a shortage of workers in a number of careers, and the numbers of those jobs are staggering,” said Harley Hepner, the Illinois State Board of Education’s chief consultant for ag education. “Schools that understand we can get students in the ag program know

Along with school programs, membership in Future Farmers of America is up to about 580,000 – nearly double its ranks of the mid1980s. That spike dispels the notion the national organization is merely a haven for farm kids, given that the number of U.S. farms are on a long-term downward trend, shrinking another 4 percent between 2007 and 2012, according to the latest federal figures available.

Untold numbers of FFA members have scant to do with farms, as Rebecca Goodman illustrates.

In Indiana, where corn is king, the 18-year-old junior is her school’s active FFA president but could never be confused for a country girl.

Goodman, who’s lived in Indianapolis since she was 3, had never been on a farm, and her experience with animals is limited to cats and dogs.

“The only thing I planted was a small garden, and the only thing that grew out of it were weeds,” she admits.

ED T T VA NI O U EN E R UT LY AC EW ST N O P

DALLAS – A bungled execution in Oklahoma in which the condemned prisoner writhed and moaned as he received a lethal injection outraged death-penalty opponents, invited court challenges and attracted worldwide attention.

But the inmate’s agony alone is highly unlikely to change minds about capital punishment in the nation’s most active death-penalty states, where lawmakers say there is little Clayton political will to Lockett move against lethal injections – and a single execution gone wrong won’t change that.

Oklahoma Rep. Mike Christian, a Republican lawmaker who pushed to have state Supreme Court justices impeached for briefly halting Tuesday’s execution, was unsparing.

“I realize this may sound harsh,” Christian said, “but as a father and former lawman, I really don’t care if it’s by lethal injection, by the electric chair, firing squad, hanging, the guillotine or being fed to the lions.”

Attorneys for death-row inmates hope Tuesday’s spectacle provides new evidence to argue that the injections are inhumane and illegal. But beyond the courtroom, support for capital punishment is undeterred in the states that perform the greatest number of executions – Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, Missouri, Alabama, Georgia and Ohio. And nowhere in those places are any elected officials of either political party talking seriously about using the incident to seek an end to executions.

Missouri Rep. Paul Fitzwater, a Republican who chairs the state House’s corrections committee, called the botched execution “horrible” and “definitely not humane” but said it had not sparked any calls for reform.

Oklahoma prison officials said Tuesday’s execution of Clayton Lockett went awry

when an intravenous line of deadly drugs became dislodged. He later died from an apparent heart attack. Lockett had been condemned for shooting a 19-year-old girl with a sawed-off shotgun and watching as two accomplices buried her alive.

Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin has stayed an upcoming execution as prison officials investigate, but she too reaffirmed her support for capital punishment.

On Friday, President Barack Obama said the Oklahoma event Mary highlighted Fallin problems with the death penalty and he’s asking his attorney general for a review.

National surveys by Gallup indicate that support for the death penalty remains strong, though it has declined over the last 20 years, from 80 percent in favor of capital punishment in 1992 to 60 percent two years ago.

There are signs of a shift, primarily in the West and Northeast, after almost four decades in which no state legislatures voted to end executions.

Five states – New Jersey, New Mexico, Illinois, Connecticut and Maryland – have formally abolished the death penalty in the last seven years, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, which opposes capital punishment.

Richard Dieter, executive director of the Death Penalty Information Center predicted the execution’s biggest effect would be in the courts, where Oklahoma, Texas and other states are being challenged to name execution drug suppliers.

One of the men wrongfully sentenced to death predicted that it would take more. Anthony Graves was sent to death row for killing six people in South Texas based on a co-defendant’s false testimony. He was freed in 2010 after 18 years in prison.

Graves blamed lawmakers who follow polls that show enduring support for the death penalty.

Lawsuit alleges ‘racial gerrymandering’ in Va.

By LARRY O’DELL The Associated Press RICHMOND, Va. – Virginia is one of several states where Democrats have gone to court to challenge redistricting plans drawn by Republicans seeking to keep control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Marc Elias, an attorney for the National Democratic Redistricting Trust, represents two Virginia voters in a lawsuit that accuses the General Assembly of “racial gerrymandering” by improperly packing African-Americans into the state’s only black-majority congressional district to make adjacent districts safer for GOP incumbents.

A trial is set for this month.

“We’re trying to remedy what we believe is an unconstitutional map drawn by the legislature,” Elias said.

Democrats have also challenged GOP-drawn redistricting plans in other states – including Texas, Florida, Nevada and Missouri – but they are not alone in employing the tactic. Republicans also have asked courts to invalidate Democrat-produced remapping in a few states.

“It’s not unusual at all to see whichever party feels aggrieved to try to correct what they think is unfair damage through the courts,” said Justin Levitt, a law professor and redistricting expert at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles. “It’s just that you’re seeing more lawsuits

by Democrats because Republicans were in control of more

redistricting.”

This isn’t the first lawsuit challenging Virginia’s reapportionment plan. State and federal courts previously dismissed lawsuits claiming the General Assembly violated a state constitutional provision by failing to complete redistricting until 2012, a year late.

Ethnic groups and others have also brought redistricting lawsuits in some states, Levitt said. So far in this redistricting cycle, he said, 208 lawsuits have been filed dealing with state legislative or congressional redistricting, or both. The National Conference of State Legislatures says 28 lawsuits remain active in nine states. States redraw legislative and congressional districts after every 10-year census to adjust for population shifts.

The exercise creates the opportunity for gerrymandering – the manipulation of district boundaries, usually to achieve a partisan advantage.

The complaint on U.S. District Judge Robert Payne’s docket for May 20 alleges that Virginia lawmakers made race the main criteria in redistricting, reaching into heavily black neighborhoods to pull voters into the black-majority 3rd Congressional District even if it meant splitting precincts and ignoring “communities of interest.” The plaintiffs want Payne to postpone the June primaries and impose a new redistricting plan if the General Assembly fails to do so within a couple of weeks.

NATION BRIEF GM recalling 51,640 SUVs for defective fuel gauges DETROIT – General Motors is recalling 51,640 SUVs because the fuel gauges may show inaccurate readings.

The recall involves the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Acadia from the 2014 model year. All of the affected SUVs were built between March 26 and Aug. 15 of 2013.

GM says the engine control module software may cause the fuel gauge to read inaccurately.

If that happens, the vehicle might run out of fuel and stall without warning.

The company doesn’t know of any crashes or injuries related to the problem.

GM says dealers will reprogram the software for free, starting immediately. The company will also notify owners by mail. The recall was posted Saturday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website.

Steve Paska (right), 26, of Arlington, Va., asks his girlfriend of two years, Jessica Deegan, 27, to marry him April 10 as cherry blossom trees in peak bloom line the tidal basin with the Jefferson Memorial in the background in Washington, D.C. Deegan said yes to the surprise marriage proposal.

Poll: If it’s OK for women to propose, why don’t they?

By CONNIE CASS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Steve Paska waited two weeks for Washington’s famously fickle cherry blossoms to emerge, then spent two hours searching for the perfect spot beneath the canopy of fluff. He lured his girlfriend there on the pretext of buying a painting of the blooms. Then he surprised her by dropping to one knee and proposing.

She said “yes” so fast he forgot to pull out the ring.

Go to any wedding celebration this nuptial season, whether in a ballroom or backyard or church basement, and it’s a good bet you can trace the big day to a similar start, with different flourishes.

If a man is marrying a woman somewhere in America, odds are that he proposed to her.

That may seem obvious, but consider this: Threefourths of Americans say it would be fine for the woman to do the proposing, in theory.

In practice, only about 5 percent of those currently married say the woman proposed,

More online Read more about the poll results at http://ap-gfkpoll.com. and the figure is no higher among couples wed within the past 10 years. Attitudes actually seem to be trending the other way, an Associated Press-WE tv poll shows.

Young adults are more likely than their elders to consider it “unacceptable” for a woman to do the asking.

More than one-third of those under age 30 disapprove.

While Paska, 26, believes female proposals are OK – after all, one of his sisters proposed to her boyfriend – he wanted to declare his love and dedication the traditional way.

“I think if she’d gotten down on one knee and asked me the question,” Paska said, “I would have called for a timeout.”

In the survey, nearly half of single women who hope to get married someday say they would consider proposing. Paska and his fiancee, Jessica Deegan, who both live in Arlington, Va., already had decided together that they wanted to marry,

she said. Still, Deegan was thrilled that he made it official with a grand romantic gesture on April 10.

“It’s kind of like the moment you imagine your whole life,” she said. “I’ve seen that in movies. I’ve read that in books. You don’t want to miss out on that moment.”

That traditional moment has survived radical changes in U.S. marriages over the past half-century. People are marrying older; brides are more likely to be already supporting themselves. It’s become commonplace to live together first, even to have children before marriage.

Some men are proposing to men and women to women, now that one-third of U.S. states allow gay marriage.

In the AP-WE tv poll, recently married couples were less likely to say they got engaged by “mutual agreement,” instead of through one partner’s proposal, than were people married longer.

About one-quarter of those married at least 30 years say it was a mutual decision; that drops below one-tenth of those wed in the past decade.

Among the newer unions, 83 percent said the man proposed.

POPPING THE QUESTION

ABI BARIK, Afghanistan – Afghan rescuers and volunteers armed with shovels and little more than their bare hands dug through the mud Saturday after a massive landslide swept through a village the day before, turning it into an earthen tomb holding hundreds of bodies, officials said.

The government and aid groups rushed to bring food, water and shelter to the survivors as the government tried to ascertain just how many people were killed in the latest natural disaster to hit a country already reeling from nearly three decades of war.

Figures on the number of people killed and missing in the disaster Friday varied from 255 to 2,700. Fears of a new landslide complicated rescue efforts, as homes and residents sat buried under yards of mud.

“That will be their cemetery,” said Mohammad Karim Khalili, one of the country’s two vice presidents, who visited the scene Saturday. “It is not possible to bring out any bodies.”

Though figures on the death toll varied, residents knew the toll the tragedy had taken on their own families.

From atop a muddy hill, Begam Nesar pointed to the torrent of earth below that had wiped out much of her village.

“Thirteen of my family members are under the mud,” she said, including her mother, father, brothers, sisters and children. She said she had been visiting relatives at a nearby village when the disaster struck.

The United Nations said Friday at least 350 people died, and the provincial governor said as many as 2,000 people were feared missing. On Saturday, the International Organization of Migration said information they gathered indicated 2,700 people were dead or missing.

Part of the confusion lay in the fact that no one knew how many people were home when the landslide struck.

At least 255 people were confirmed dead, Khalili said.

Most of those were people who

had rushed to the scene to help after a previous, smaller landslide. When a bigger landslide hit, those people along with roughly 300 homes were wiped out. But since no one knows how many people were in those homes, counting the dead is difficult, Khalili said.

Mohammad Aslam Seyas, deputy director of the Natural Disaster Management Authority, said fears of new landslides had slowed the operation.

The ground on a hill overlooking the village was soaked from recent heavy rainfalls that officials believe triggered the slide. About half a mile away, government and aid groups set up tents for those displaced.

Few had time to flee before the mud wall caved in.

Sunatullah, a local farmer, was outside when he felt the earth start to move. He ran to his house, grabbed his wife and children and then ran to the top of a nearby hill. Minutes later, he said, part of the hill collapsed.

“The houses were just covered in mud,” he said, adding that he had lost 10 members of his extended family, his house and his livestock.

Authorities distributed food and water to survivors, said Abdullah Homayun Dehqan, the head of Badakhshan province’s National Disaster Department.

But residents were worried about more natural disasters to come.

“There are four valleys from where water can flow in here. If water flows in, the whole village would be under water,” said Jaan Mohammed.

Rescuers have struggled to reach the remote area, roughly 200 miles from the capital, Kabul. There is little development or infrastructure. Even getting heavy equipment such as bulldozers to the site – accessible only by narrow and bumpy dirt roads – was difficult. Most residents live in single-story mud houses that were no match for the rush of earth.

A spokesman for the U.S.led International Security Assistance Force said they have not received any requests to help out with the disaster.

MOSCOW – European military observers who were held more than a week by insurgents in eastern Ukraine walked free Saturday, with Kiev insisting the release proves Russia is fomenting unrest in Ukraine – as Moscow touted the insurgents as courageous humanists.

The latest battling narratives came a day after dozens of protesters died while trapped in a horrifying fire in Odessa, hundreds of miles away. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the deaths show Ukraine’s acting leaders are “are up to their elbows in blood,” while authorities in Kiev blamed pro-Russia provocateurs.

The incidents highlight the intractability of Ukraine’s crisis, in which pro-Russia insurgents have seized government buildings in about a dozen cities and towns in the east and Ukrainian forces have tried to regain control in a limited military offensive. Looming on the other side of the border are tens of thousands of Russian troops, whom Kiev fears are waiting for a pretext to invade.

A pact struck between Russia, Ukraine, the European Union and the United States in mid-April emphasized the importance of an observer mission from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. But the mission’s prospects became clouded a week later, when eight of its military observers and five accompanying Ukrainians were detained by insurgents in the city of Slovyansk, the crucible of unrest in the east. The insurgents alleged the observers were spying for NATO and carrying suspicious material; one from non-NATO member Sweden was released two days later, but the rest remained in custody until Saturday.

The insurgents’ leader in Slovyansk, Vyacheslav Ponomarev, was quoted by Interfax news agency as saying he ordered the release because of increasing insecurity in the city. In recent days, at least four Ukrainian soldiers were killed on the city’s outskirts – two of them when helicopters were shot down – and at least

10 civilians have been killed, according to Ponomarev.

Ponomarev later told The Associated Press that the OSCE observers “are not being released – they are leaving us, as we promised them.”

One of the released observers, German Col. Axel Schneider, told The Associated Press that the 12 detainees held up well.

Those held included three other Germans Axel and a soldier Schneider each from the Czech Republic, Denmark and Poland.

“They had a very good attitude and that gave them the strength to stand the situation,” Schneider said of the observers. “According to the word of [Ponomarev], we have been treated as good as possible. This is a miserable situation, but we were under his protection.”

The non-Ukrainians were flown late Saturday to Berlin, where they were reunited with their families.

“We are all very happy,” Schneider said at Tegel Airport. “We saw our families again – that’s not something we would have imagined last night.”

“Imagine that last night we were still under fire,” he said.

The release negotiations included Vladimir Lukin, a representative of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Lukin was brought in as part of an initiative led by Thorbjorn Jagland, the head of the Council of Europe, a European human-rights body, according to COE spokesman Daniel Hoeltgen.

Lukin was quoted by the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti as saying the release was “a voluntary humanitarian act.”

Although Russia denies it is encouraging or directing the insurgents, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the release “was made after unambiguous instructions had been received from the Russian authorities, which yet again shows the extremists are subordinated to Moscow.”

Visit several brokerages for retirement Dear Mr. Berko: I am 57, am single and made $62,000 last year as a civilian federal employee. Because of a bad marriage, I haven’t been able to contribute much to my retirement plan, which is worth $86,000. I am tired of the winters in Minnesota and hope to retire in Panama or Costa Rica or Baja California, where my limited funds could go a lot further.

I have $21,000 in an emergency savings account, which earns only 1 percent; a $12,000 certificate of deposit paying 2.5 percent, which comes due next month; and six stocks (enclosed) with the dividends reinvested, worth $37,000. I’ll also shortly be getting half of the $103,000 netted from the sale of my parents’ home in Duluth; I have to share the money with my sister.

I’d like to invest this money ($51,500) and about half of my emergency savings account ($10,000) for a

better return. What stocks or mutual funds are best for me to own? Is my best option a traditional individual retirement account to reduce my taxes or a Roth IRA, which wouldn’t give me a tax break, or should I invest in both?

And because I am limited in the amount I can invest in an IRA, should I also invest in an annuity because there is no tax until the money comes out? And soon, I expect to be at the point where I can afford to invest more than 5 percent of my salary in the government Thrift Savings Plan, so please tell me how much more I should invest. – TS, Rochester, Minn.

Dear TS: Yes, those winters are quite an experience in Minnesota. I’ve backpacked the Kashmiri and Nepali Himalayas above 12,000 feet a dozen times and have only seen one case of frostbite. A few Februaries ago, I spent two nights and three days in

VIEWS Malcom Berko Two Harbors – some 45 minutes above Duluth, on the northwestern shore of Lake Superior – and my rental car got frostbite twice in two days. Minnesotans enjoy complaining about the cold weather, and some move to Florida or another place in a warm climate if they can.

I know a few Minnesotans who did, but within a season of their leaving Minnesota, they missed the cold weather so much they were eager to return. You folks are a very special breed.

I don’t know enough about you or your risk tolerances to provide you with the advice you need. Nor am I able to sit across a table with you to develop a dialogue to give you the personal counsel you should

have to define your goals and reach them. You really must have face-to-face time with an investment professional, but unfortunately, most money managers don’t want to bother with smaller accounts.

I have a solution, but it will take a little bit of work on your part. You have six good stocks, worth $37,000, in which the dividends are being reinvested, and those stocks are held by Charles Schwab.

So call Schwab and tell the receptionists that you’d like an appointment with a financial consultant. Then sit down with that Schwab broker and tell him what’s on your mind. Ask him the same questions you asked me in your letter. Listen closely to what he has to say, and take copious notes. If you don’t understand some of the responses, you must ask him to explain his comments.

When you return home, go

over the responses and rearrange those notes in an order that makes sense to you. And if there are some answers that are not clear, call him and ask for better clarification. Next, visit a Merrill Lynch broker. Go through the same procedure. Then get appointments with brokers at Morgan Stanley and Edward D. Jones & Co. and do it again and again.

You may even enjoy the interview process, and fairly soon, you may know enough to have a good handle on your investment alternatives.

After you’ve invested this personal time and effort to gain some investment knowledge, write me again, and I should be able to answer your knowledgeable questions.

Thousands descend on Omaha to hear Buffett speak

By JOSH FUNK The Associated Press OMAHA, Neb. – The Berkshire Hathaway shareholders meeting is part celebration and part education, and more than 30,000 people gathered to hear Warren Buffett answer to investors Saturday.

Buffett and Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger faced tough questions about Berkshire’s prospects for growth and acquisitions, as well as how Buffett handled a vote on pay packages crafted for Coca-Cola executives, a company in which Buffett holds a major stake.

Buffett abstained from voting Berkshire’s 400 million shares against the beverage company’s compensation plan even though he has long advocated against exorbitant executive pay, and after he described Coca-Cola’s as ex-

cessive.

“I thought this was the most effective way of behaving at Berkshire,” Buffett said Saturday.

Buffett said he told Coke’s CEO privately that he opposed the compensation plan, but didn’t want to criticize the company publicly or join another Coke investor’s public campaign against the plan.

“We made a clear statement about the excessiveness of the plan, but we didn’t go to war with Coke in any way,” Buffett said.

Shareholder Jake Kamm said the explanation Buffett offered initially for not voting against the beverage maker’s plan was not convincing.

“It’s a little bit of spin,” said Kamm, who teaches finance at Baldwin Wallace University near Cleveland, Ohio.

Buffett said the true test

More than 30,000 shareholders are expected to fill the CenturyLink Arena to hear Buffett and Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger discuss their business. will come when Coke reveals its pay packages over the next year.

Buffett defended joining

with investment firm 3G Capital last year to buy ketchup-maker H.J. Heinz Co. That deal represents a shift in Buf-

fett’s investing style because Berkshire usually operates alone and leaves the companies it acquires largely unchanged.

“I do think 3G does a magnificent job running a business,” Buffett said.

Since the acquisition, 3G has announced plans to eliminate roughly 2,000 jobs and close three manufacturing plants to improve efficiency.

Buffett said he doesn’t expect Berkshire to use 3G’s approach, but the two may pair up on future deals.

Shareholders also asked about Berkshire’s failure to beat the stock market in four of the past five years, but Buffett said investors shouldn’t have been surprised that Berkshire’s results trailed the S&P 500 last year.

“We will underperform in very strong up years,” Buffett said.

OUR VIEW

One more tax hike to ditch in Illinois We’re very thankful that two ill-conceived, job-killing tax hike schemes died in the General Assembly in recent weeks.

That’s two down, and one – making the 67 percent temporary income tax increase permanent – to go.

House Speaker Michael Madigan pulled his proposed constitutional amendment for a “millionaire tax” because he did not have the threefifths majority needed to put it on the Nov. 4 ballot. And an effort to amend the Illinois Constitution to switch from a flat tax to a progressive tax based on income stalled in the Senate because Madigan could not deliver the 71 votes needed in the House.

Illinois caught a break for once. Taxpayers and businesses already are struggling in a state that’s toxic to both.

The state’s anemic economy

and recent polls expressing the depth of Illinois residents’ disgust and desire to leave speak volumes.

Allowing our spendthrift state lawmakers to jack up taxes to whatever rates they see fit would further drive businesses and taxpayers out of the state. It would make attracting talented people to take jobs in Illinois more difficult. It would be yet another poison pill for a state with the third-highest unemployment and the worst credit rating in the nation, and the worst projected 2014 job growth rate. And of course, the second-highest rate of people moving elsewhere.

Lawmakers who supported a progressive tax claimed that the vast majority of state residents would see a lower tax rate. But aside from the fact that our state lawmakers can’t be trusted to keep

their word – we’ll get to that in a minute – the claim was garbage.

The tax rate proposal sponsored by state Sen. Don Harmon, D-Oak Park, would have set the tax rate at 4.9 percent, a whopping tenth of a percentage point less than the current rate, for people making between $12,501 and $180,000. But that “savings” is based on the 5 percent rate people have been paying since January 2011 when Democratic lawmakers raised the flat rate 67 percent, taking away an average of another week’s pay from every state taxpayer.

This is where lawmakers keeping their word comes in.

That 5 percent rate is supposed to sunset Jan. 1 to 3.75 percent for individuals and from 7 percent to 5.25 percent for businesses. That promise was codified in the law that

Gov. Pat Quinn signed.

Of course, Quinn and the other Democratic leaders who repeatedly promised that the tax hike would expire as promised are now crying poor and asking that the tax be made permanent, lest Illinois suffer financial and societal Armageddon.

This is merely the latest in a string of broken promises regarding the tax hike. Quinn promised during his 2010 campaign that he would veto any tax increase greater than 33 percent, and then signed the 67 percent increase.

Lawmakers also promised that the tax increase would pay down the state’s shameful backlog of unpaid bills.

It did not – almost all of it was swallowed by the state’s ballooning public pension obligations.

State lawmakers have until the end of session

May 31 if they want to make the increase permanent by simple majority. After that, the number of votes needed leaps to three-fifths until Jan. 1. Or lawmakers can pull the same trick they did three years ago – wait until after the election and increase it by simple majority in the January lame-duck session.

That’s how six outgoing state lawmakers – including two who campaigned against a tax hike and then voted “yes” – ended up with cushy government jobs.

It’s become apparent that it’s too much to ask for state government to live within its means. But is it too much to ask for state lawmakers to keep a promise made to taxpayers? Just this once?

Even if it was a hollow promise that Quinn and Co. never had any intention of honoring?

Health care debate not over president’s promise.

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, May 4, 2014

36

To the Editor: Recently, President Barack Obama took to his podium to declare “The debate is over” regarding the issue of the health insurance law. There is a certain amount of irony when the president of the United States – “the home of the free” – declares that free and open debate should be over. This should concern all freedom-loving Americans. We should not have elected politicians closing their eyes and covering their ears when constituents cry out from pain caused by this law. Yes, the truth is inconvenient to their political agenda, but responsible elected officials have an obligation to put the good of the country above their political agenda.

Fact: Obama declared “If you like your plan, you can keep your plan.”

Reality: 4.7 million individuals who had plans they liked, and paid for without government subsidy, saw those plans canceled.

Precisely the opposite of the

Tax reform needed

Fact: Obama declared his plan would save the average family $2,500 per year Reality: Those 4.7 million individuals who had plans canceled have been forced to enroll into new, more expensive plans. Premiums have risen; deductibles have risen.

Precisely the opposite of the president’s promise.

As much as the president wishes his 2,000 pages of health care laws to be without flaw, he must be humble enough to admit there are problems that this law has created.

The president should embrace efforts to fix those problems. Unfortunately, with a stunning lack of leadership, rather than working with Congress to address real issues, our president has chosen to disparage his opponents by declaring them members of the “flat-earth society.”

It would be nice to say we deserve better. Unfortunately, we deserve the government we elect.

To the Editor: Our president needs to ask Congress: “Why can’t all government use an adjustable consumption sales tax on all products and services that have the people’s labor as part of the price, to be their only source of revenue?” Everyone is paying all their taxes at once.

Wasted spending, both private and government, is eliminated; fewer taxes. When businesses pay taxes, fines and compliance costs; their prices go up. Governments have to stop collecting money, other than their sales tax. They also have to stop giving tax money away without our approval.

This allows everyone to make as much money as they can and never pay a tax on it and the governments have to sell everything generating profits. Then pay all their debts and operate on a balanced budget.

The federal government provides us the same pension and pays the doctors treating our diseases while the insurance industry pays

Brandon Dolezal Joliet

for accidents. Each local government will establish their own living wage needed to support a family; anyone unable to find a job, will pay them 95 percent of that wage to beautify their community.

This cost will be shared with the county, state, and federal governments. They will soon find work or move where there is work.

Local businesses may hire them to beautify their own businesses.

Retail stores, businesses and fast food restaurants will again be the training ground for teens learning to work.

We the taxpayers are in charge.

This plan is free, outlining more solutions in 28 pages, but needs your input. Congress isn’t interested in us; just to get re-elected to keep doing what they are doing; nothing. Nobody seems to be talking about us; can this be a start?

Don Zwiers Joliet

Corrupt countries To the Editor: Two corrupt, dysfunctional

countries fighting each other over land and people. The Russian economy is only the size of Italy’s now and the Ukraine is a military and economic basket case unable to defend itself. The civil and government structures in the Crimea are now in even worse shape after the Russian take over.

One would think that Russia and Putin would have plenty to do by developing their economy, eliminating corruption, establishing the rule of law, democracy and human rights. Eliminate Russia’s gas exports and watch the economic calamity.

In history the Roman Empire, Nazis and Soviets extracted wealth and benefit from conquered countries by various means; rape, plunder, slave labor, taxes, theft, denial of human rights, rule of law and exiling undesirables to conquered lands. Currently such actions are not as easy to get away with unless you reside in a place like Syria.

Colwell’s slam leads Comets past Coalers

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, May 4, 2014

40

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – In baseball, all it takes is one swing of the bat to turn around a team’s fortunes.

Never was that more evident than in Reed-Custer’s 6-4 win Friday over Interstate Eight Conference rival Coal City.

Coal City held a 2-1 lead in the top of the fifth, and ReedCuster had two outs with a runner on base.

Suddenly, Coaler pitcher Nate Chapman lost track of the strike zone and walked the next two batters to load them for Reed-Custer’s Jordan Colwell.

Colwell hit Chapman’s first pitch over the left field fence for a grand slam and a 5-2 Comet lead.

“That came out of nowhere,” Colwell said about his first home run of the season. “He [Chapman] threw me a first-pitch fastball and I took a good swing. I didn’t think it was going out. It wasn’t until I got to second base that the umpire told me it was a home run.”

That cushion was all Reed-Custer’s Brent Headrick needed, as the sophomore lefty ran his record to 7-1 with the complete-game win. He allowed five hits and six walks while striking out eight.

“I had a little trouble throwing strikes early,” Headrick said. “After we went up, I was able to get more in control. It’s a lot easier to pitch with a lead.”

Coal City (10-11, 5-5) took an early lead, scoring a pair of runs in the bottom of the first.

D.J. Budde and Lane Cowherd each walked to start the inning and, after a passed ball moved each runner up a base, Brad Littleton singled up the middle to score them both for a 2-0 Coal City lead.

Chapman made that hold up, and performed a magnificent Houdini-esque escape from trouble in the third when Travis Schoonover led off with a triple.

Chapman struck out the next hitter, get the next on a comebacker and the final out with a pop to second.

Reed-Custer (16-7, 7-2) got

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Coal City’s D.J. Budde dives back to first during the first inning Friday against Reed-Custer at Coal City High School. Reed-Custer defeated Coal City, 6-4. a run back in the top of the fourth. Colwell led off with a single, then stole second. Two outs later, he broke for third.

He had the throw beaten, but the ball got past the Coal City third baseman into left field, allowing Colwell to score, setting the stage for his heroics in the next inning.

“It felt like we were very sluggish today,” Reed-Custer

coach Jerry Cougill said.

“Our bats were very slow. It’s a good thing Jordan Colwell was there to rescue us. His big blow was certainly the difference.

“I thought Brent threw a good game. The strike zone was tight for both sides. He [Headrick] walked six, and that’s very unlike him. He had only 12 walks all year

coming into this game. But, he’s a battler and very competitive on the mound. He didn’t want to come out, and our team is at its best when he’s on the mound.”

After the Comets tacked on another run in the sixth on an RBI groundout by Schoonover, Coal City countered with one in the bottom of the inning when Matt Guebelman singled in Alex Wills, who led off with a single. The Coalers put a scare into the Comets in the seventh, scoring a run on a single by Tom Youskevitch and putting runners on first and third.

Headrick ended the game by inducing pop-ups to second and short.

“Walks hurt you,” Coal City coach Jerry McDowell said. “We saw that tonight.

Give credit to them. A lot of times when a pitcher walks the bases loaded, the hitter will take a pitch. But he was ready on the first pitch and put a good swing on it.

“We had some chances, but we didn’t move runners up with productive outs.

That’s something we have to learn from.”

LEMONT – Lemont baseball coach Brian Storako called no pregame meeting.

He gave no fiery speech to fire his guys up Saturday.

The Indians knew what a win meant without a word said.

With playoff seeding less than two weeks away and Lemont, Joliet Catholic Academy and Lincoln-Way West all fighting for the top seed at the IHSA Class 3A JCA Regional, Storako’s squad came through with a huge nonconference win, as Lemont defeating Lincoln-Way West, 3-0, on Saturday.

“Any time you’re playing a team of that caliber, it’s a big win regardless of the circumstances,” Storako said. “West is a good team, maybe we’ll see them again. The players know. They don’t need to hear it from me. They know what’s at stake.”

The win came on the left arm of star senior and LSU commit Jake Latz. The 6-foot2 southpaw improved to 4-0, throwing a complete game three-hitter with two walks and 13 strikeouts.

Latz got stronger as the

off hitter, get it going, get on base,” Folliard said. “You’ve got to get ahead early. Latz has been untouchable so far this year. Just get a couple runs, and we’ll come out with a win.”

Mike Wisz’s sacrifice fly to right plated Folliard from third in the third to put Lemont up, 3-0.

Latz did not allow a runner to get to second base the rest of the game.

Zach Speaker, Dan Brokop and Ryan Hastings had a single apiece for Lincoln-Way West (21-1).

Dylan Eller threw 3⅔ innings for the Warriors, giving up three runs on five hits.

“Tip your hat to them,” Lincoln-Way West coach Jake Zajc said. “We made more mistakes than them, things this late in the season I’m not happy about because we’ve been taking care of business in those phases. When you play in a big game like this, everything gets magnified.”

As for the upcoming regional, Zajc is ready for whoever waits.

“You’re going to have to beat some good teams in the regional,” Zajc said. “It’s good to play this game. It’s intense.”

Porters clinch share of SWSC Blue title with win

Lockport breaks tie, outscores Knights 8-2 in third quarter

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – After watching his Lockport boys water polo squad play to a 3-3 draw with Lincoln-Way Central midway through their Friday contest, coach Joe Lewandowski was looking for some kind of quick offensive spark.

The veteran coach didn’t have to wait long as the Porters scored early and often after the break and used an 8-2 third period burst to claim a 13-8 home victory over the Knights.

Beside winning its 16th straight game, Lockport (22-2) also clinched a share of the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue title. It has two games to play and owns a two-game advantage over Sandburg, which it defeated, 10-8, Tuesday.

The Porters, ninth in the illpolo.com rankings, are seeded second in the Lin-

coln-Way Central Sectional.

Lewandowski’s squad, which last lost April 1 to top-seed Sandburg, 14-13, in overtime, also beat the No. 11 Eagles last weekend in the Brother Rice invite.

Lockport received offensive contributions from a number of individuals, with Jake Speechley leading the way by scoring all of his game-high four goals in the final half.

Eric Johnson added three scores, Matt Olinski and Zach Elias chipped in with two goals a piece and Joey Tomczuk and Logan Nootbaar also connected for the Porters, whose other defeat was a 13-11 setback against the current top-ranked team, Naperville North.

“This is the first time that we’ve played Central and Jim Lock has brought down his coaching philosophy from Oak Park so going in, I knew that this would be a game,” Lewandowski said. “Both sides were playing defense all the way around in the first half. They put their hands on the ball on our shots quite a few times. In the third quarter we had to find our niche.

I was just glad that we were able to shoot deep, that was the big thing.

“This shows that our team is playing well together. But as I’ve said, when you go one through six in our sectional, it’s going to be a game, that’s how good our sectional is.

This group is unlike any that I’ve ever had since they can adjust on the fly. I’ve never had a team where I can put something new together and they can execute it that well.

These guys have been playing together for two years and that makes a huge difference.”

While the Porters are definitely enjoying a special season, the fourth-seeded Knights (13-8-1, 6-5-1) are also making positive strides under the direction of Lock.

But while Central’s coach was pleased with his squad’s first-half performance, he saw them return to some bad habits in the third period and that proved to be costly.

“The first half was our best effort in a long time,” Lock said. “But we get excited and think that we’re in a game and then we kind of fold. And I hate shallow-wa-

ter polo since it absolutely kills us. We always work deep since that’s how it will be in the sectional. If we can play four quarters, I think we can play with anyone in the sectional and even win it.

“Lockport has so much experience and we don’t. The guys work and train hard and they really want to win and play well but we lack a little focus. This is only my second year with them and we’re building a club and getting kids into it. Each class of kids is showing a willingness to make changes. Hopefully, we’ll keep getting kids who want to get better.”

The Knights were paced by three scores from Conor McGowan, two goals each from Tristan Funk and Tim Stygar and another tally from Ryan Sterling. But half of those scores came in the final 7:19 of play, after the Porters had built up a decisive 11-4 lead.

Leading Lockport’s third-period surge were Speechley, who collected three goals, Elias and Johnson, who contributed two scores apiece, and Olinski, who started things off.

Speechley and Olinski were brought up to the varsity during their sophomore seasons and got a chance to play on the Porters’ 2012 state team, which finished in fourth place. They’re hoping that they might be able to get the chance to return to state this year.

“We just went out there and had fun and played our best in the third period and it definitely showed,” Speechley said. “Last year we lost to H-F in our sectional final game in the last three minutes, so to have games like this where it’s close is good. When you’re tired and working hard, you’ve got to be mentally tough and play through the pain and just finish.

“Matt and I got to play some in 2012 and saw that atmosphere so we want to get back there. That’s our goal this year and we’re working in every practice and game for that. I’ve been with these guys since our freshman year and we’re all really good friends and they’re like brothers to me, so it’s like playing with family out there. It’s been a blast.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST INVITE

Lincoln-Way East beats Lincoln-Way North to win own invite Lincoln-Way West suffers first loss of season in invite semi

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Among the biggest thrills a team can experience during a season is capturing the championship of one of the state’s top tournaments.

But when that competition also happens to be one that you host and the title is won against your biggest rival, then it just makes the excitement even that much better.

That’s just what Lin coln-Way East’s boys volleyball squad accomplished Saturday when it defeated Lincoln-Way North, 25-22, 2521, in the finals of its own 24team invite.

It was the third time this season that the two powers had met in a tournament title match. The Griffins won at Marist and then the Phoenix prevailed at Warren Township. However, both of those clashes were decided in three

sets.

This time, Kris Fiore’s topranked East team jumped out to early leads in both sets and never allowed the Phoenix, the defending champions, to regain the advantage.

As a result of their win, the Griffins (28-1) figure to get the top seed in the Marist Sectional while No. 2 Brother Rice and No. 3 North (26-3) are likely next in line.

East had to navigate a difficult route to the finals, handing Lincoln-Way West its first loss in 20 matches to kick off Saturday before beating fourth-ranked Lake Park in the semifinals.

Griffins setter Austin Royer earned MVP honors after recording 22 assists and three kills while Ryan Vorderer added eight kills and four digs, Nate Van Dellen chipped in with six kills and six digs.

Josh Phalen contributed 10 digs and a pair of aces.

“This is our favorite tournament since we host it,” Royer said. “Last year we didn’t make it to the championship, so that kind of gave us a little drive to get here

and win it, so we’re real excited. It’s always a constant battle with us and North and we’ll see each other again.

“Each day we’re progressing and even though we played well, there’s always stuff that we can fix, so we’ll only get better. We have great hitters so as long as our passing is there, our offense is solid. We just need to pick it up on defense to match our offense. Last year we didn’t get past the sectional finals so we want to get past that this year.”

In the opening set, East jumped out to a 12-5 lead and still were up, 20-15, in the late going. North closed to within 22-21 before the hosts ended things following a hitting error, a block by Aaron Redweik and a kill from Vorderer for the final point.

“Both games so far had gone three and they beat us last time so it was good to kind of redeem ourselves a little bit,” Vorderer said.

“And we couldn’t let them beat us in our own house.

We’d like to beat them to win conference and then see them in the playoffs and we want

to beat them there since our main goal is getting to state this year.

“It’s good that we’re living up to expectations, but we’re still not done yet. I don’t think that we have many weaknesses since every person can put a ball away while Austin and Josh are two of the best players at their respective positions in the state, so we’re well-rounded.”

The Griffins grabbed an 11-7 lead in the finale and bumped it up to as much as 21-14 as they were able to counter North’s comeback efforts, which were paced

by Jake Walenga (11 kills, 3 blocks), Brad McFarland (5 kills) and Austin Faller (19 assists).

“Every time that we play these guys it’s a high-intensity match,” Van Dellen said. “Even though it went two games, they were close and North fought hard but we came through. They’re a great team and we love playing them and know that they’re not going away.

“We really meshed well today and everyone chipped in and that’s why we were able

to play so well. It’s been awesome so far. But the season isn’t over so we have to keep working hard in practice and hopefully we’ll be even better come playoff time.”

East suffered a blow last season when Phalen got injured just before the invite and then missed the rest of the year. That’s provided the libero with some extra incentive to try to help his squad earn the program’s first state tournament appearance since 2007.

“We always like playing North for a championship since they’re our rivals,” Phalen said. “This was a big win for us since it was the last tournament before the sectional seedings. It’s been tiring going three games with them so it was nice to get a little break today.

“Last year at this point I was done for the season and I felt helpless on the bench.

We’re working really hard in practice and working on our blocking and cutting down on errors. We’re real close, have good team chemistry and push each other. This is a special team.”

By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. – A horse with a humble pedigree. A couple of working stiff owners. A 77-year-old trainer with his first Kentucky Derby horse.

Even Hollywood couldn’t have made this up.

California Chrome made it look easy Saturday, pulling away down the stretch to win the Derby by 1¾ lengths.

In a sport dominated by wealthy owners and regally bred horses from Kentucky’s bluegrass country, this was a victory for the little guys. Own-

ers Perry Martin and Steve Coburn bred an $8,000 mare to a $2,500 stallion to produce the winner of the world’s most famous race with their one-horse stable.

“This is just a dream come true and a great birthday present,’” said Coburn, who turned 61 on Saturday.

California Chrome ran 1¼ miles in 2:03.66 and paid $7, $5.60 and $4.20. The chestnut colt was sent off as the 5-2 favorite by the crowd of 164,906, the second-largest in the Derby’s 140-year history.

His trainer, Art Sherman, became the oldest trainer to win the Derby, 59 years after

he traveled from California as an exercise rider for Derby winner Swaps. He watched that race from the barn area; this time he smelled red roses in the winner’s circle.

Sherman was all smiles after the race. “He gave me the biggest thrill I ever had in my life,” he said.

California Chrome has the unlikeliest pedigree for a Derby champion. His mother, named Love the Chase, won just one race. She was purchased by Coburn and Martin, a move that prompted a trainer to call them “dumb asses” for getting involved in racing.

CUBS 3, CARDINALS 0

Arrieta holds command in season debut

BY MEGHAN MONTEMURRO The Associated Press CHICAGO – Jake Arrieta tried to tamper his pregame butterflies.

Making his big league season debut after shoulder stiffness, Arrieta struck out seven in 5⅓ shutout innings Saturday as the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals, 3-0, for their first three-game winning streak this season.

Arrieta said pitching at Wrigley Field has become a special experience for him dating to his Cubs debut last season, also was against the

Cardinals.

Arrieta walked two and threw 82 pitches. The Cardinals put five runners on base through the first three innings.

“Command of my sinker down in the zone was working really good, establishing the curveball early in the game,” he said. “The more you do that with secondary stuff, the less they can eliminate certain pitches later in the game.

That’s kind of what we had going for us.”

The Cubs bullpen combined for three-hit relief, finishing a seven-hitter. Brian

Schlitter (1-0) got two outs for the win, and Hector Rondon worked around a pair of leadoff singles in the ninth for his third save.

Junior Lake and Anthony Rizzo homered for the Cubs, who hadn’t won three straight a series sweep at San Francisco last July 26 through 28.

A day after the Cubs defeated Adam Wainwright, Michael Wacha (2-3) allowed two runs, five hits and three walks in six innings.

Lake hit a two-run homer in the sixth for a 2-0 lead. He also doubled on a 3-for-3 afternoon.

INDIANS 2, WHITE SOX 0

Abreu glove toss highlight for Sox in loss The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – Other than Jose Abreu’s snazzy glove toss, Saturday night was a lost cause for the White Sox. The highest-scoring team in the AL was held to five hits and committed two costly errors in a 2-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians, sending the Sox to their fourth straight defeat.

Abreu, who leads the majors in homers and RBIs, struck out

with two runners on to end the eighth. Earlier, the Cuban first baseman made the play of the day. Abreu fielded Lonnie Chisenhall’s grounder in the sixth and, unable to get the ball out of his mitt, flipped the glove about 10 feet to pitcher Scott Carroll covering the bag for the out.

The moment provided some levity for the Sox on a difficult night.

“I didn’t know that it got stuck in his glove at first and

then when he tossed his glove, I kind of just laughed in my head and just made sure I wanted to corral it and make sure I got the glove for the out,” Carroll said.

“Never had that happen.”

White Sox manager Robin Ventura saw it himself during his playing days.

“I saw El Duque (Orlando Hernandez) do it when I was at third base one time,” Ventura said. “It works and they called him out.”

Remembering The Wrecking Crew

Rialto Square Theatre to host special viewing of documentary

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

JOLIET – In the late 1970s, when Diana Missig of Channahon lived in California, she became friends with the Tedesco family. Its patriarch, Tommy Tedesco, was a studio musician.

Missig, then a publishing assistant for Warner Brothers Music and executive assistant to the vice president of United Artist Records international division, enjoyed the family’s big Sunday Italian dinners and laughing over Tommy’s practical jokes, like dressing up in a pink tutu on Halloween.

The fun occurred amidst Tommy’s crazy work schedule. Tommy, Missig said, worked days, evenings and in the middle of the night.

“He just never knew what his schedule would be. He’d work all day, come home and sleep and then go back at work at night,” Missig said. “He was putting out an album a day for different artists.”

Welcome to the world of The Wrecking Crew.

The Wrecking Crew was a group of studio musicians who played on many popular hit song in the 1960s and 1970s, often without acknowledgment, said Denny Tedesco of California, Tommy’s son, and director and producer of a documentary film about The Wrecking Crew.

On May 14, the Rialto Square Theatre will host a special viewing of the film. Ticket proceeds will help raise the final funds needed for meeting the cost of licensing the film’s music, Missig said.

“I think the world needs to know about it,” Missig said.

“No one today would work on

Diana Missig of Channahon arranged a special showing of “The Wrecking Crew: A Documentary” Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet.

Denny Tedesco (left) and his father Tommy Tedesco (right)

an album or CD without recognition. And that’s legendary.”

Besides providing the music to countless scores and jingles, The Wrecking Crew, backed such recording artists as The 5th Dimension, The Beach Boys, The Carpenters, John Denver, The Mamas & The Papas, The Monkees, The Partridge Family, Nat King Cole, Simon & Garfunkel, Nancy Sinatra and Bobby Vee, to name a few, Missig said.

Although Denny Tedesco has shown “The Wrecking Crew: A Documentary” at national and international film festivals, Missig said, this Joliet showing will be the unveiling of the latest version of the film. Following the screening, Tedesco will host a question and answer session.

And it’s all because of Facebook.

Several years ago, when Missig created her account, she searched for names from her past. She found Denny Tedesco, messaged him and the two soon were chatting on the telephone about old times.

That’s when she learned about his project and Missig’s interest perked up.

“Tommy was such a great guy and I believe God put us together so I could help,” Missig said. “So if I could do something and didn’t, that wouldn’t

be right.”

Could she host a showing in her home, 20 viewers at a time? Or would a larger venue be more effective? Missig contacted several potential locations places and sponsors but nothing ever materialized, until she talked to staff at the Rialto Square Theatre.

For Denny Tedesco, the project began in 1996 when his father was battling terminal cancer and he decided to record some of his father’s musical memories. After his father died, Tedesco created a short film, shared it with family and friends and then kept going.

“I thought, ‘This means nothing if no one sees it,’” he said. “I had to finish it.”

The problem with continuing was the prohibitive cost of licensing the music – all 131 music cues of it – and distributing the film, Tedesco said.

The licensing alone has cost $500,000, he added. And while he certainly dug deeply into his own pockets, Tedesco isn’t rich by any means and neither was his hard-working father, whom he rarely saw play guitar.

“People thought that it was so cool that my father was a musician. Everyone assumed it was a hootenanny at home,” Tedesco said.

To help finance the project,

Tedesco worked with a fiscal sponsor, as well as Kickstarter. According to a news release from Denny Tedesco’s production company, Lunch Box Entertainment, “The Wrecking Crew: A Documentary,” is now eligible for funding through International Documentary Foundation, a California nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation.

“We’re down to the last $25,000,” Tedesco said.

The documentary also immortalizes the way music was once recorded. Back then, all musicians had to sit in the same room at the same time, record for three hours and then dash off to another gig and repeat the process. Today, Denny Tedesco said, the drums tracks, the bass tracks and the guitar tracks can be laid separately.

“That’s the biggest problem musicians complain about,” he said. “No one is in the room together. No one is listening to each other … they just walk in and walk out.”

With a long list of celebrity guest stars and songs audiences all over the world love to sing, the documentary is anything but grim.

“As people listen to it, they get smiles across their faces,” Tedesco said. “Everyone knows this music. And it blows my mind.”

Joliet woman celebrates 50 years with Resale Shop

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – If it fits in your car, the Encore Shop will take it.

That’s been the policy for as long as June Hendricksen – a 50-year member of the Silver Cross Advisory Board that operates the resale shop on the former Joliet campus of Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox – can remember.

“People can bring it to us in their cars,” said Hendricksen, 93, of Joliet, “and when people buy it, they can carry it home in their car.”

Each second Friday of every month, Hendricksen and her daughter, Gael Smith of Plainfield, a 24-year member of the advisory board, volunteer their time at the Encore Shop.

Hendricksen prices items; Smith creates displays and revels in the challenge of “working with what I have.”

“Because I can,” is Hendricksen’s reason for con-

Membership to the Silver Cross Advisory Board is by invitation only, Hendricksen said, with Smith adding that prospective members must have two sponsors. A friend invited Hendricksen in 1964.

Hendricksen not only agreed, she brought a few items of

her own to donate: pots and pan, some books and a few clothes.

“It was a good way of clearing things out of my house and then selling them at a reasonable price so the hospital would have something nice,” Hendricksen said.

Smith, a widow like her

mother, joined the Encore Shop after her children left home for college.

A former member of Childerguild, which supports the obstetrics and pediatric departments at the hospital, Smith wanted to continue volunteering at the hospital both her parents loved.

“They were Silver Cross fans,” Smith said. “Anytime they were hospitalized, it was at Silver Cross.”

When she’s not working at the Encore Shop, Hendricksen prices jewelry from home and knits hats for oncology patients – more than 300 of them in the last five years, Hendricksen said. It’s the ideal project for her, one that allows her to help others and “keep her hands going.”

Smith admires her mother’s creative use of colors and embellishments, like buttons or flowers. Both women belong to a weekly knitting club, Smith said.

Hendricksen learned to knit in high school when she

made herself a sweater. Since then, she’s knitted sweaters for both her children, Smith and her son Leif Hendricksen of Plainfield.

Hendricksen has also knitted hats, little coats and sweaters for her grandchildren.

So what changes has Hendricksen seen at the Encore Shop in 50 years? Not many, Hendricksen said.

Donations items remain the same: household goods, clothes, games. Only the type of jewelry is somewhat different.

“When I started, it was mostly clip-on earrings,” Hendricksen said. “Now they’re mostly pierced.”

The Encore Shop raises money for a variety of hospital services and medical equipment, said Tracy Simons, director of marketing and community relations for Silver Cross Hospital.

In the past 11 years the group raised more than $935,000, Simons added.

State Grant helps extend DuPage River Trail The HERALD–NEWS WILL COUNTY – A state grant totaling $151,000 will help the Forest Preserve District of Will County to construct two crucial segments of the DuPage River Trail on the north and south ends of Whalon Lake, a 249-acre District-owned preserve in Naperville and Bolingbrook.

The grant was announced

March 13 by Marcy DeMauro, the District’s executive director, at the Board of Commissioner’s monthly meeting.

The matching grant, which was announced by Gov. Pat Quinn late last month, is part of the state’s $1 million investment to develop or improve 42 miles of bicycle trails in Illinois. The grant will be used to help pay for the project, which is estimated to cost $302,000.

Engineers will begin work on the District’s DuPage Trail connections in June.

Construction is expected to start in 2015. The trail segments could open in late 2015 or early 2016.

St. Baldrick’s event raises money for pediatric cancer Brandan Morrone and Kate Arundel

The HERALD–NEWS LOCKPORT – On March 13, the third annual St. Baldrick’s event at LTHS, sponsored by the student government, raised $12,252.58 for pediatric cancer research.

The event, held at Central Campus gymnasium, included a Special Olympics basketball game, half-time performance by the LTHS Poms, music by Boom Entertainment, raffles and Cold Stone ice cream sales.

The big draw was the head shaving of many LTHS faculty and staff, as well as friends and family. More than 60 people shaved their heads at this year’s event.

Volunteers from Studio 305 in Lockport did the shaving. LTHS teachers Courtney Oxley-Turner and Ryan Visser sponsor student government.

Construction work delays boat rentals at Monee Reservoir The HERALD–NEWS MONEE – Boat rentals at Forest Preserve District of Will County’s Monee Reservoir, 27341 Ridgeland Ave., Monee, will be delayed this year as repair work continues on the lake’s retaining wall and sidewalk.

Row boat and pedal boat rentals are expected to begin June 1, weather permitting, later than the normal April 1 launch date.

The rental delay also in-

cludes trolling motors and batteries. Bait and tackle sales began as scheduled on April 1.

Repair work on the lake’s retaining wall and sidewalk began in the fall and was scheduled for completion this spring.

However, the late-winter snow and spring rain prevented the work from being completed by April 1.

MOKENA – Early Start at Mokena Elementary School is a fee-based half-day pre-kindergarten program for eligible three and four year-old at-risk children. The program encourages children to make choices and interact in various learning centers throughout the classroom, as well as greatly encouraging and supporting parent participation.

Two daily sessions are offered, an A.M. session and P.M. session.

Members of the Early Start team conduct free screenings of children who then may be eligible for the program based on a number of qualifiers such as low family income, multiple or premature birth, English language skills, or some other home or community factor which places the child in an atrisk situation. If the child has been found “at risk” as a result of the screening and if space is available, students may be admitted into the Early Start program.

The screening services are provided at no cost to parents as an early intervention ser-

vice. Children must also be either 3 or 4 years old before the first day of school for each of the respective sessions and Mokena residents.

During the screening, the team will assess the development of a young child in the following areas: • Gross/Fine motor skills • Speech/Language skills • Cognitive skills We interview the parent/ guardian in the following areas: • Basic health/physical needs • Socio-economic factors • Safety needs • Love, belonging, and self-esteem needs After the screening, members of the Early Start team will share with you the information acquired from the screening about your child’s development.

Call MES office at 708-3424852 to schedule an appointment. Registration fee for the Early Start program, which is a full school year, is $607.50. A wait list will be started should the number of qualified children in either session exceed 20.

Hahn to represent JJC at competition The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – For six years in a row, a JJC automotive student has taken first place at the Illinois Skills USA Competition. This year, Tom Hahn, of Homer Glen, a first year JJC automotive student, was named the first place winner. Second year JJC automotive student John Palkovitz, of Lockport, received second place, which he accomplished during last year’s competition as well.

Both students said they excelled during the competition because their JJC automotive professors prepared them well through instruction in the classroom and in

the labs. They also felt the up-to-date lab equipment gave them an advantage over other student competitors.

Hahn plans to transfer to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale after he graduates from JJC. He wants to work with hybrids as an automotive engineer in alternative fuels.

Palkovitz, who graduates from JJC this May, plans to attend SIU Carbondale in the fall.

His career goals include working for General Motors.

Because Hahn won first place, he will represent JJC and the state of Illinois at the National Competition in Kansas City, Mo. June 23-28.

52 CROSSWORD

Thinking outside of the bridge box

CELEBRITY CIPHER

George Lucas said, “If the boy and girl walk off into the sunset hand-in-hand in the last scene, it adds 10 million to the box office.”

If bridge partners do everything correctly, they can picture themselves walking off into the sunset, but it probably doesn’t add anything to their bank accounts.

This deal, though, requires a different box: the one that you think outside of. The winning defense requires a play that many would not even consider.

South is in three no-trump.

West leads his fourth-highest heart. Assuming that declarer will hold up his ace until the third round, how can East-West defeat the contract?

West leads the heart four and East puts up his jack, bottom of touching honors when playing third hand high. When South ducks, East continues with his heart queen. Declarer plays low again.

At this point, most Wests would follow suit with their three, advertising that they have led from a five-card suit. Then, South would take the third heart and run his diamond nine (or jack). East could win, but West has no entry. Declarer would take one spade, one heart, four diamonds and four clubs for an overtrick. Yes, East could shift to the spade king at trick three, but that would only save the overtrick.

West has to realize that establishing his heart suit is a waste of time, because he does not have an entry. At trick two, he should overtake his partner’s heart queen with his king and shift to the spade 10. Then the defenders will take three spades, two hearts and one diamond for down two.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to Zack’s welfare, you can’t control what happens when he’s with his father.

I don’t know how serious this new relationship is, but it appears to be a long-lasting one – and whether you approve or not, this woman is in your son’s life in the role of part-time mother.

For your sake, you need to accept it because the alternative is to make yourself sick over it.

And because it’s hurtful, stop reading her posts.

Dear Abby: I married the love of my life eight years ago. He’s a wonderful husband, father and provider. He has just one flaw – his hygiene.

He works long hours and is usually exhausted when he gets home. He showers maybe once a week, and brushes his teeth less often. Sometimes he makes sexual advances, but I’m

so turned off by his smell that I just can’t do it.

I have tried asking him to be cleaner. I have even been upfront about what other people have said about his lack of cleanliness. I even tried making shower time “fun,” but a girl can’t do that every night!

I’m becoming so frustrated.

I’m a clean person, and I keep hoping one day he’ll adopt my habits, but it doesn’t look like it’s happening soon. Any advice? – Holding My Nose In Idaho Dear Holding Your Nose: It appears this wonderful husband, father and provider has the personal habits of a goat. If he has enough energy to make advances at the end of a long workday, then he should have enough to take a shower and brush his teeth.

Unless you plan to wear a clothespin on your nose during marital relations, you should insist upon it.

Hip protectors must be worn properly to offer any benefit Dear Doctor K: I have osteoporosis. I’ve heard about “hip protectors” that reduce the risk of hip fracture if you fall. Are they worthwhile?

Dear Reader: Osteoporosis contributes to about 300,000 hip fractures in the United States each year. The hip is not the most common site of an osteoporosis-related fracture (it follows behind the spine and wrist). But a hip fracture can have particularly devastating consequences.

Hip fractures can impair your ability to walk or perform everyday activities, such as dressing yourself or rising from a chair.

At best, the breaks require temporary confinement to bed or a wheelchair. But often the injury has lasting effects. More than half of people who break a hip never fully regain their former level of independence.

A hip protector or “hip pad” is a stiff plastic shield underlaid with foam padding that must be strapped onto the hip. There are many different types of hip protectors, which presents a problem in answering your question as to whether they are worthwhile.

Research doesn’t allow a conclusion about hip protectors in

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff general. Many studies are funded by the company that makes the hip protector being studied – which raises a question about whether positive results have been reported accurately.

Some studies suggest that hip protectors may reduce injuries in people at high risk of a fracture who live in nursing homes. But reviews of the best research available have failed to prove that hip protectors reduce hip fractures in older adults who live independently.

The main challenge is getting people to wear the hip protectors consistently and properly. That’s because the pads can be uncomfortable and awkward. Also, you can still fall in circumstances in which you would not be wearing the pads – in the bath or shower, for example. But if worn consistently by people at risk of hip fracture, these pads could theoretically be beneficial.

Whether or not you choose to use a hip protector, there are other things you can – and should

– do to protect your bones. Ask your doctor about medications to prevent bone loss. Also, make sure you are getting enough calcium and vitamin D. (I’ve put a table showing how much calcium and vitamin D men and women should take, by age, on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Add weight-bearing exercises to your fitness routine to encourage bone growth and inhibit bone loss. And learn tai chi or another exercise that improves balance to help prevent falls. Although there have not been a lot of studies of tai chi, the evidence I see convinces me that tai chi offers some protection against falls.

Finally, it is amazing how many older people live in homes that put them at risk for falls: stairs with slippery surfaces, loose rugs, electrical cords in places where people walk and can trip.

There are services available that can inspect a home and identify such risks – and offer remedies to offset them.

Dr. Wallace: I am a very “conservative” young woman. I am against drugs of all kinds. The guy I’m dating is a nice guy, but I know he’s smoking marijuana. I told him that I’d stop seeing him if he didn’t quit. I know he cares for me very much.

Other than the fact that he smokes pot, he’s a great guy and I could see myself spending the rest of my life with him.

My problem is that he keeps denying that he is smoking pot, saying that I have no proof. However, I do have proof.

He has left his jacket at my house and there were several marijuana cigarettes in his pockets.

When I returned the jacket to him I asked him about the pot. He denied there was any in his pocket.

I have also smelled pot smoke on him, and he had a roach clip in his car. I would guess that I’m 99 percent sure he is a pothead. To be honest, I am more upset by his lying to me than about his pot smoking.

Your comments will be appreciated. – Amber, New Orleans, La. Dear Amber: If it has feathers, quacks like a duck and swims like a duck, it’s a duck. Tell him to waddle away!

Dr. Wallace: I’m a junior in high school and have better than a “B” average in the college prep program. I know studying is important, but my parents are unreasonable. They have assigned me a schedule from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. for study time Monday through Friday. I can’t receive any phone calls or watch television during this time, even if I finish all of my homework. Not only that, but I also have to study two hours on Saturday or Sunday, but I get to decide which day.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace I really resent this “rigid schedule” and I think my parents are being overly strict about homework. I would really like to hear your comments. – Nameless, West Chicago Dear Nameless: Providing a set study time is a good idea, but your parents seem excessive with their demands. Unless a special project or term paper is required, 10 hours of study at home per week should be sufficient.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 14-year-old guy and am very active in sports. I was selected as the most valuable player on our freshman football team.

I also earned a varsity letter in wrestling.

Everybody thinks I’m a pretty tough guy, but I do have one flaw.

Sad things always make me cry. I don’t sob, but I do tear up, and I think this is unmanly. Do you think I am doomed to be a “crier,” or should I see a “shrink” when I’m older to get rid of this unwanted problem? – Nameless, Philadelphia, Pa. Dear Nameless: You don’t have a problem.

Crying is a natural human response to pain, sorrow and even joy. By crying you are showing that you feel events deeply and are in tune with your emotions, and this is critical for maintaining good mental health.

Society teaches boys that they should not cry and that they should be “macho.” Society is wrong. Your tears show courage and that you are a caring individual.

Dear Abby: I’m a single mother of a 1-year-old boy, Zack. His father, my ex, has shared custody, but we don’t have a very good co-parenting relationship.

Shortly after I gave birth, he left me to be with a woman he had met while I was pregnant, and they are still in a relationship.

She thinks it’s OK to post pictures of Zack on her social media sites.

I have a problem with this, not least of all that it is incredibly hurtful to see another woman pretend she is in a “mother” role with my son.

I have confronted my ex about this and although he told me he would talk to her about it, he also told me it is none of my business what happens while Zack is in his care.

Am I right to make this an issue, or do I need to move on and accept that this woman is in my son’s life? – Offended In San Jose Dear Offended: I sympathize with your feelings, but your ex is right. Unless something is happening that’s dangerous

‘Friended to Death’: A narcissist worth watching

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post The premise of “Friended to Death” is clever. A callow young man, obsessed with posting snarky observations on Facebook and Twitter, decides to fake his own death in order to monitor the reaction of his 400-plus friends and followers on social media.

The satire of contemporary manners and mores, while too blunt to draw blood, is sharp enough to sting, particularly for those of us who may recognize a piece of ourselves, or someone we know, in the mirror it holds up to society.

It’s an assured debut for first-time filmmaker Sarah Smick, who wrote the comedy with her husband, actor-producer Ian Michaels. Both have supporting roles in the film.

But the movie works chiefly because of Ryan Hansen (“Veronica Mars”), who plays the genial jerk Michael Harris, a parking-enforcement officer who hits upon the aforementioned social experiment after he loses his job and his childhood best friend (Zach McGowen), both as the result of interactions with the same man (Michaels).

These shots across the bow of our hero’s overweening self-absorption are enough to make him question the meaning of his very existence.

Hansen plays the part of Michael – a handsomer, more obnoxious version of Napoleon Dynamite, who speaks in a funny patois of text shorthand and eye-rolling insults – with a kind of insecure brio.

Other nicely defined characters (or, rather, caricatures) include Emile (James Immekus), a nerdy former co-worker of Michael’s who abets him in his fraud by posting the news of Michael’s suicide on Facebook.

Their real-world relationship, which evolves over the course of the film from exploitation to genuine affection, is the film’s most satisfying pleasure.

“Friended to Death” is a solid and slick-looking production, despite an indie aesthetic that places its aspirations well outside the mainstream.

The movie, which has been well-received at a handful of film-festival screenings, wears its quirky heart on its sleeve, boasting sometimes

In “Friended to Death,” Ryan Hansen (pictured) plays Michael Harris, a callow young man who decides to fake his own death in order to monitor the reaction of his friends and followers on social media. defiantly silly dialogue. One running gag involves a character who repeatedly refers to another character with a stream of increasingly ludicrous variations on the word “bro.” “Bro DiMaggio” and “Bro-seph Gordon-Levitt” are just two of the more inane permutations. They’re cute, but like the film itself, they can wear a bit thin.

The farcical pitch of “Friended” is well-aimed, though it wobbles a bit as it passes home plate. A climax involving blackmail, kidnapping and

an actual suicide attempt go further than necessary to deliver the movie’s point about insincere connections.

The story’s message may not be the most original one in the world – put down your device and make eye contact – but it’s fun to watch it unfold in a world that, while far from realistic, feels real enough.

• “Friended to Death” received two-and-a-half stars out of four. The film is rated R and contains crude language. It runs 93 minutes.
