JOLIET – Donald M. Woods will not face murder charges for allegedly killing a man at a party Sunday.

Woods instead was charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon by a felon for the fatal shooting of Dameon D. Anderson.

“This is being ruled a jus-

tifiable homicide because witnesses said the victim was also armed during the confrontation between them,” Police Chief Brian Benton said.

Woods, 20, also continues to face unrelated charges that led to his being jailed shortly after the shooting outside his house in the first block of Mississippi Avenue.

Woods turned 20 years old Sunday. Police said Ander-

son, 27, and other men were unwanted guests at a party at Woods’ residence. When they were told to leave, the confrontation turned violent about 3 a.m.

Shots brought police to the area and officers found four of Anderson’s friends running from the scene. A 17-year-old was arrested on a nearby street with a handgun, according to reports. The other men were released without being charged.

Fire destroys Lockport cabinet company Believed to have started in a piece of machinery

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – A fire started in a piece of machinery and swept through a Lockport cabinetry business Wednesday afternoon.

No one was injured. But the wooden truss building that has housed StyleLine Cabinet and Top Co., at 15349 S. New Ave. since the early 1990s was destroyed.

Employees Mike Ceci and Phil Calcaterra were working near the south side of the building at 2:36 p.m. when they noticed smoke coming from the outside dust collector that removes shavings and debris by using pipes and vents connected to the interior.

“I thought it was just full and dust was coming out, but then we saw the paint coming off the machine,” Ceci said.

The men used an extinguisher at the bottom of the machine, but the fire continued above and everyone was ordered out of the building. Shop foreman Rick Rutz said about 30 people work at the company.

“I smelled something burning, thought maybe it was [a neighbor] burning leaves, but

for a 2012 robbery conviction, was taken into custody during a search of the house and is being held on $400,000 bond.

Woods was being sought for allegedly beating and choking his girlfriend May 1 after authorities say he went to the Larkin Avenue fast food restaurant where she works and became irate when his girlfriend refused to loan her car to him.

Will County Jail records show Woods also was arrested for auto theft in 2011.

Firefighters work to extinguish a fire at Style Line Cabinet & Top Co. in Lockport on Wednesday afternoon.

“I smelled something burning, thought maybe it was [a neighbor] burning leaves, but as I walked through the shop there was a big puff of smoke inside.”

StyleLine Cabinet and Top Co. foreman as I walked through the shop there was a big puff of smoke inside,” Rutz said.

Lockport Township Fire Battalion Chief Ed Rossetto said smoke was showing when crews arrived, but “within seconds” wind gusts spread flames throughout the building, which housed a factory and showroom.

“We immediately went to a defensive operation and [elevated] alarms for mutual aid,” Rossetto said.

Rossetto and Fire Chief Dave Skoryi said firefighters could not get inside because of the speed at which the fire was spreading in the wooden building.

Calcaterra, Ceci and some of their co-workers watched from across the street as the business, which Rutz’s brother started in 1986, continued to burn.

“Yeah, it was [scary] when we got out. And now it’s sad,” employee Katie DeFrank said.

CORRECTIONS In the article, “No limits on use of aerial photos” that was on page 9 of the Wednesday, May 7, 2014, edition of The Herald-News, the vote taken by board members on a proposed ordinance was incorrect. Board members rejected the proposal 4-3.

‘Like we’re putting ourselves in other kids’ shoes’

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Through music and words, AiJane Gooch put a face on the tragedy of the millions of children who died during the Holocaust.

She was one of dozens of students with Hufford Junior High School’s Individual Education magnet school who remembered the tragedy at the Joliet Jewish Congregation on Wednesday.

Inside the congregation’s sanctuary, Gooch and other students embodied the lives of the children whose lives were cut short.

“It’s like we’re putting ourselves in other kids’ shoes,” she said, “[We’re] telling other kids that we don’t want this to repeat itself.”

It was a message the students conveyed to dozens of other students, school officials and community leaders during the course of Wednesday’s production. The production also was meant to observe Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, which was April 27.

“It is our way of paying respect to those who died under [Adolf] Hitler’s brutal regime,” Bill Kaplan, Joliet Jewish Congregation president, said about the presentation.

“We say, ‘Never again.’ Never should these people be forgotten and we say with a louder and mightier voice, never again.”

Each student in the presentation donned a black outfit with the yellow Star of David badge pinned on. The badge was a patch Jews were forced to wear under the Nazi regime.

The students and audience wore it as a badge of honor to those who died during the Ho-

locaust.

Each stage of the production was marked by orchestral music – such as playing Hatikvah, Israel’s national anthem – along with readings and pledges. The students made a commitment to prevent future tragedies such as the Holo-

caust from happening again.

“We will respect our differences and treat others the way we wish to be treated,” the students said in unison. “We realize that if we continue to hate, peace slips away.”

For one segment, the students raised to their faces pictures of the children who were killed or affected by the tragedy. They told the stories behind each of those children.

Alyson Collins, an eighthgrade student, talked about a Polish child who was forced to run away when his country

was occupied by the Nazis.

“He worked for four months before going to find his family when he realized he was the only survivor,” she said.

They also read diary entries from the children, including one from a child whose sister was killed.

“My sister was a good little girl,” Gooch read from the diary entry. “It’s a pity I no longer have a picture of my little sister.”

Jeannine Janicki, the production’s director and teacher at Hufford, said the students

put the presentations together every year, which has been held annually for at least 15 years. The students always express interest in participating to her.

“They want to do it because they remember some of the eighth-graders that did it before and they saw how serious they were about it,” she said.

She said she’s always amazed at the students’ work.

While it’s a tough subject for them to approach, she reminds them it’s all for the children who died.

WE SAY, ‘NEVER AGAIN.’ NEVER SHOULD THESE PEOPLE BE FORGOTTEN AND WE SAY WITH A LOUDER AND MIGHTIER VOICE, NEVER AGAIN.” Bill Kaplan, Joliet Jewish Congregation president

Veterans housing project gets approval to move forward

Deal commits Illinois to pay $250M for Illiana road project

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com A binding Illiana Expressway agreement with Indiana calls for Illinois to spend at least $250 million on the proposed tollway project.

Indiana is set to chip in a minimum of $80 to $100 million toward the project, and private investors are expected to make up the rest of the funding.

John Grueling, president and chief executive of the Will County Center for Economic Development, said he isn’t surprised by the figure given the fact the proposed 47-mile tollway – most of which would be in Illinois – carries an estimated $1.5 billion price tag.

Grueling said $250 million “is a big number. No question.

But it’s a public-private partnership. I think the ratio is pretty healthy.”

Details about the proposed

development are outlined in a 33-page document made public this week by Illinois transportation officials. The plan calls for a team of private developers to construct and operate the highway connecting Interstate 55 near Wilmington and Interstate 65 near Lowell, Ind. The expressway also would be tolled electronically with no option for cash payment. The system would be compatible with Illinois’ I-Pass and Indiana’s E-Z pass.

According to the contract, Illinois and Indiana must award design and construction contracts in early 2015 and complete the project by Dec. 31, 2018. Both Illinois and Indiana expect to select a team of private companies this fall to build and operate the Illiana.

In a statement released this week, Illinois Department of Transportation officials applauded the agreement as a sig-

nificant milestone.

“This agreement solidifies that partnership and our commitment to the success of this project,” said Illinois Secretary of Transportation Ann Schneider.

But Howard Learner, executive director of the Environmental Law & Policy Center, which has filed a federal lawsuit to block the Illiana, said IDOT is pushing the project without legislative approval of the $250 million in spending.

“A state agency should not be creating a contractual arrangement committing hundreds of millions of dollars without legislature authorization. That’s putting the cart before the horse,” he said.

“Where’s all this money going to come from?”

The Illiana route has not been finalized nor has the project gained federal approval. A decision is expected by May 30.

JOLIET – The Joliet City Council has approved a special use permit for the 67-unit Hope Manor Joliet, a housing project for low-income and homeless veterans that would be built on the former campus of Silver Cross Hospital.

Developer Volunteers of America Illinois now intends to apply for equity tax credit funding through the Illinois Housing Development Authority. Once IHDA approval is secured, the project’s final planned unit development documents must be approved by the city council.

Construction would follow in spring 2015.

“It’s a no-brainer why we would want this in Joliet,” Councilman Jim McFarland said. “It’s a win-win for veterans, it’s a win-win for Joliet.”

The council originally rejected VOA Illinois’ original proposal for 73 apartments on 3.2 acres in February 2013, because its density exceeded the city’s standard of 10 units an acre.

McFarland and city staff worked with VOA Illinois to help resolve some of the council’s objections.

“We asked them to reapply because they were looking at other communities,” McFarland said. “We met with them. They addressed some of the concerns about density and made some structural changes.”

VOA Illinois’ new proposal reduces the number of apartments and adds a nearly 5-acre veterans contemplation garden.

“I think the veterans deserve all they can get for their service,” Mayor Tom Giarrante said. “Hopefully, this will work out and they

“It’s a no-brainer why we would want this in Joliet. It’s a win-win for veterans, it’s a win-win for Joliet.”

Jim McFarland Joliet City Council

will be very happy with their new digs.”

While IHDA guidelines prevent housing being offered exclusively to veterans, preference will be given to veterans and their families, said Nancy Hughes Moyer, VOA Illinois president and CEO. Moyer estimated 5,000 veterans in Will County will be eligible for the waiting list at the complex. Non-veterans only would be accepted if the veterans list is exhausted, which Moyer said is unlikely to happen.

Under the special-use permit approved Tuesday by the city council, VOA Illinois will be required to inform the city’s zoning board if it provides housing to non-veterans.

The housing project will feature four three-story buildings of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments around a 28,000-square-foot recreation area. The first floor of the main building, dubbed Hope Manor HQ by the developers, will include offices and supportive services, such as case management, support groups, business support and training.

The buildings will be clad mostly in brick and stone and incorporate amenities to reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution and increase indoor air quality, according to a news release from VOA Illinois.

Will County JOLIET'S BEST PACE TO schools honored CELEBRATE MOM for going green SUNDAY, MAY 11 More than 50 recognized at Earth Flag School ceremony

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com If there’s one thing Wyn Hyzer hopes students learn after participating in Will County’s Earth Flag School program, it’s personal responsibility.

“Every little bit can make a difference,” said Hyzer, the county’s environmental educator who heads up the countywide program.

More than 50 schools were recognized Wednesday for their earth-friendly efforts during the Earth Flag School’s annual awards ceremony held at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet.

Each participating school had to complete at least four earth-friendly tasks – such as building a community garden, forming an environmental club, cleaning up school properties or maintaining an indoor compost bin – throughout the 2013-14 school year, Hyzer said.

Schools also collected recyclable materials for the Plastic Bag Recycling Challenge. The competition is sponsored by Trex, a company that manufacturers recycled lumber and other materials.

Overall, the schools collected more than 6,700 pounds of

plastic bags to be recycled – or the equivalent of one large giraffe, Hyzer said. Winners were honored at this year’s awards ceremony, she said.

Students at St. Mary Nativity in Joliet won first place, bringing in just more than 4 pounds per student. Frankfort Square School came in second place with 3.27 pounds per student and Holy Family School in Shorewood came in third place at 1.6 pounds per student.

The totals collected at each school were weighted based on a school’s total population, she said.

The county’s Land Use Division started the Earth Flag School program in 1998. The program has grown each year, she said, with at least 50 schools participating in each of the past four years.

Hyzer said she encourages students to take what they learn from the program and use it in everyday life.

“Recycling is wonderful. It’s great,” she said. “But it doesn’t cure everything. There’s also two other R’s: reduce and reuse.

In some ways, the first two R’s are way more important. Without all this waste in the first place, we could make a difference.”

JOLIET

adno=0259764

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Three defendants in unrelated murder cases appeared in court Wednesday.

Monta Travis Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak expected to set a late summer trial date for Monta Travis, 22, but learned Travis may replace his public defender. Travis told the judge his mother is expecting to soon receive a settlement check that

he could use to hire a private attorney.

Travis was 15 on Aug. 26, 2007, when he and Curtis Russell Jr., now 26, allegedly shot and killed a push-cart ice cream vendor. Russell pleaded guilty to the murder of Manuel Villa Gomez-Balcazar, 42, the following year and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Travis, who allegedly pulled the trigger, was found guilty in 2010 and sentenced to 45 years in prison. The appellate court ordered a new trial last year

after determining the teen had confessed after being misled with promises of leniency and kept from sleeping during his lengthy questioning.

Travis was given 30 days to hire a lawyer before his next court appearance.

Jerry M. Nichols Prosecutors filed a motion to suppress testimony from a psychologist who was hired by the defense to examine Jerry M. Nichols, a Crest Hill man accused of killing his wife.

Nichols, 63, told police he had accidentally run over his wife Diane while backing out of the garage in January 2013, according to reports. Prosecutors said an emergency crew that arrived on the scene found Nichols stomping on the 57-year-old woman’s head.

Nichols was arrested two days later on murder charges.

Judge Robert Livas has scheduled a hearing for June 19 on whether the psychologist’s testimony will be admitted for trial.

Jevon D. Lesley Jevon D. Lesley, 21, appeared before Judge Sarah Jones in a pre-trial hearing and is scheduled to be back in court June 19 when attorneys discuss the status of the case.

Lesley has been charged with the July 9, 2011, murder of Anthony Fearn outside the KO Zone Boxing Club on Cass Street. Police said Lesley shot wildly into a crowd outside the gym, and Fearn, 18, was struck twice.

First Midwest Bank committed to staying downtown JOLIET – First Midwest Bank plans to stay downtown if Will County completes its deal to buy the bank property for a future courthouse.

First Midwest may even build new.

Jim Roolf, president of the company’s Joliet Banking Center, said First Midwest Bank has not secured a new location downtown but is exploring several options for a

future site.

It’s very likely the bank – which has operated in downtown Joliet since the 1940s – will build new rather than remodel an existing building, he said.

“We think downtown has a lot to offer us,” Roolf said.

“There continues to be business opportunity here with things that the city and county will both be doing over the next few years. There’s going to be a significant ... revitalization on a lot of different fronts.”

He declined to comment on specific locations, adding that First Midwest has some time to identify a new site.

Contract details announced this week show the bank can rent the entire first floor of its current building from the county for a two-year period from the closing date. After two years, the base rent increases and First Midwest Bank must then pay a pro-rata share of taxes and utilities, providing an incentive to leave sooner rather than later.

Much of the county’s plan to build a new courthouse downtown hinged on the $4 million acquisition of the Joliet bank building site, 50 W. Jefferson St. The county is expected to close sometime this summer on the 4.3-acre site just west of the current courthouse.

The county has not ruled out the possibility of building a courthouse somewhere else. But county officials have said the game plan is keep the county courthouse downtown, and the contract with First Midwest Bank moves that plan closer to reality.

Joliet drug dealer sentenced to 10 years

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A drug dealer with a lengthy criminal history was sentenced Wednesday to 10 years in prison.

Ervin N. Pam, 38, had accepted a deal last month from the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office recommending six years behind

bars for pleading guilty to delivery of drugs, but Judge Carla Alessio-Policandriotes was not bound by that agreement.

“The judge used her prerogative to impose a higher sentence based on [Pam’s] past criminal record,” state’s attorney spokesman Charles B. Pelkie said. Pam could have been sentenced

up to 30 years in prison at trial.

Pam served nine years in prison for armed robbery and also has done time for two other felonies. He was arrested in July 2013 after police found heroin, cocaine, money and digital scales in a house he used on Raynor Avenue in Joliet while he was living on Richards Street.

SHOREWOOD

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Exercise and training is in store for people with special needs who visit Fuel Sports Performance and Training for fitness assessment training.

On Saturday, the Shorewood fitness company, 400 Earl Drive, will offer fitness assessments for people with low-functioning, moderate-functioning and high-functioning cognitive abilities.

The assessments is set to start at noon and end at 3:30 p.m.

Tim Graf, fitness and performance coach, has partnered with Fuel Performance to provide the fitness assessments.

Graf, a former Special Olym-

pics coach, said the program was designed for all age groups and levels of functioning.

Getting people with special needs to exercise can help stimulate their cognitive abilities, he said.

“Research shows a child who can skip can read better than child who does not skip,” he said, and later added, “I’m a parent of a special needs child.

Anything that can help my child is great.”

People with different levels of functioning – their ability to control their body and space around them – will do different exercise, he said. For example, high-functioning people would play catch while those with low functioning would do basic body squats, he said.

At Saturday’s event, people

If you go n What: Fitness Assessment Training n When: Noon to 3:30 p.m.

Saturday n Where: Fuel Sports Performance and Training, 400 Earl Drive, Shorewood n For information: Call Tim Graf at 815-325-4004 or Fuel Performance at 815-630-5990 with low functioning will have fitness assessments from noon to 1 p.m., followed by people with moderate functioning from 1 to 2:30 p.m. People who are high functioning will receive assessments from 2:30 to 3:30 p.m.

After the assessments, train-

ing sessions will be available at $20 per session beginning Monday.

Exercise can help a population of people who tend to be sedentary, Graf said. Ellen Bolte, an autism researcher and nurse who works with Graf, said children with special needs are not as active because they lack social skills and need supervision.

Bolte’s son, Andy, 22, was diagnosed with autism as a child but has since become relatively high functioning.

“There’s no cure for autism, there’s not even effective treatments for autism, so it really leaves parents to have to figure things out on your own,” she said.

She got her son involved in physical activities after com-

ing across several studies on the differences in cognitive functions between animals that were passive and active.

Her son has ran on treadmills and played sports such as basketball and soccer. He’s also won medals in Special Olympics.

“It’s certainly improved his physical abilities,” she said about exercise but noted it’s not guaranteed to increase functioning. “It’s hard to measure these types of things because it’s more of you standing back over time and saying ‘Yeah, he’s better.’ ” Most of all, she hopes the people who come to Saturday’s fitness assessments enjoy it.

“It’s fun to get out and exercise and be with your friends,” she said.

ROMEOVILLE – The entire incarceration and prison system is broken, and a lawyerturned-priest said he knows how to fix it.

The Rev. David Link, a dean and professor emeritus of the University of Notre Dame Law School, plans to explain his “Crime Peace Plan” during a lecture scheduled for Friday at Lewis University.

The lecture will center on his plan, which is featured in a 2013 biography on his life called “Camerado, I Give You My Hand,” by Maura Poston Zagrans.

“The system is out of control now,” Link said. “Many of the people in prisons in Indiana and in Illinois are people that ought to be in a hospital, not a prison.”

Link will share his experiences of working as a prison chaplain and meeting prisoners, many of whom he said are sick with addictions or situational grief.

“We need prisons but we need to reserve them for the dangerous people to society, not the substantial number who are trying to turn their lives around,” Link said, adding that he wants to put a face on the latter for people to see who prisoners really are.

Link said he will share his prison experiences with the audience at Friday’s lecture.

Will County Auditor Duffy Blackburn, who is working on an advanced degree from Notre Dame, is one of the organizers of the lecture.

“It’s just a wonderful story,” Blackburn said. “I know the importance and cost of how we manage crime and incarceration. I’m looking forward to hearing it.”

For most of his life Link was a lawyer who advised prosecutors and was heavily involved with university administration in Australia and South Africa.

One day his late wife told him he would like talking with prisoners. She asked him to go to a prison and try it out.

“They put me into a room with 65 murderers and no guard,” said Link. “I was going to tell her this was the worst day of my life, but I fell in love with lecturing at the prison.”

After his wife died, he started going to a seminary in 2005

X-15 rocket plane pilot 13 Bill Dana dies at age 83 The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – Famed research test pilot Bill Dana, who flew the X-15 rocket plane and other pioneering aircraft during the birth of the space age, has died at age 83.

Dana died Tuesday at an assisted living facility in suburban Phoenix, according to an announcement Wednesday by NASA’s Armstrong Flight Research Center in California.

Starting in the 1950s, Dana logged more than 8,000 hours in more than 60 types of aircraft, ranging from helicopters and sailplanes to the hypersonic X-15, which he flew to a Bill Dana maximum altitude of nearly 59 miles, reaching a top speed of 3,897 mph.

In 2005, he was awarded civilian astronaut wings for two of those flights to the edge of space – almost 40 years after his X-15 flights – because at the time, NASA did not confer astronaut wings on its pilots.

Dana also flew NASA’s so-called lifting body aircraft that led to the design of the space shuttle.

Dana was born in Pasadena, California, but grew up in Bakersfield, where he fell in love with aircraft as a child.

“I remember seeing B-25s and P-38s flying over at the start of World War II and there was something very glorious and exciting about the warbirds, and I was attracted to it and I never really lost my ambition to fly those [planes],” he told Air & Space/Smithsonian magazine in a 1997 interview.

Dana graduated from West Point, became an Air Force officer and was a fighter pilot in the Korean War. He later obtained an aeronautical engineering degree from the University of Southern California and was hired as an aeronautical research engineer at NASA’s High-Speed Flight Station in the Mojave Desert – now called Arm-

Dana, the famed research test pilot who flew the X-15 rocket plane and other pioneering aircraft, died Tuesday. He was 83. strong Flight Research Center – in 1958.

He became a test pilot the next year.

The X-15 flights were the high point of his career because of the plane’s extraordinary performance, he said in the 1997 interview.

His first flight lasted just 10 minutes but knocked him for a loop.

The plane had a “great big engine and lots of acceleration and things happening very, very fast and I really didn’t catch up with the airplane until I was back down to about Mach 2 [twice the speed of sound], where I had been before in fighter airplanes,” he recalled.

Over the years, Dana took the danger of his profession in stride.

“There’s a whole staff of engineers in the control room watching every move you make and my fear was that I would do something that would embarrass myself in the eyes of my peers, and that was the fear,” he told Air & Space Magazine. “I don’t ever remember being afraid I was going to die.”

A heart attack forced him to give up flying but in 1993 he became the center’s chief engineer.

He retired in 1998 but later worked as a contract employee writing histories of some of its programs, and during budget cutbacks even gave up his salary to do volunteer work in the center’s history office, NASA said.

STATE ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

Champaign acrobat recovering after fall

DU QUOIN – The fledging manager of the Illinois state fair in southern Illinois’ Du Quoin is back on the job after being placed on leave pending a state investigation that apparently continues.

Illinois Department of Agriculture spokesman Jeff Squibb confirms Shannon Woodworth’s return to work this week.

Squibb wouldn’t elaborate, saying only that the matter that led to Woodworth’s leave remains under review.

Woodworth’s attorney, Mark Kochan of Herrin, has said his 47-year-old client from West Frankfort has been directed not to discuss the matter publicly.

Woodworth was named the state fair’s manager in February and earns $71,000 a year.

Quinn talks budget, taxes at business forum

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn has criticized his Republican opponent’s lack of specifics on a state budget plan.

The Chicago Democrat spoke Wednesday in Springfield before the Illinois Retail Merchants Association and Illinois Manufacturers’ Association’s annual Business Day meeting.

The governor detailed his proposed $38 billion state budget in late March. He said the state’s temporary income tax should be extended so Illinois can invest more in education.

His Republican opponent Bruce Rauner opposes extending the income tax increase but hasn’t released specifics about what he would cut if it rolls back in January as scheduled.

Legal interpretation may erase pension glitch

CHAMPAIGN – The State Universities Retirement System now says a troublesome piece of last year’s state pension-reform law may not cut retirees’ pensions after all.

William Mabe is the executive director of the retirement system. He said the language in law that would cost retirees’ a year of pension should be interpreted as if it didn’t – because it wasn’t intended to.

That’s based on the interpretation the Teachers Retirement System has been using when it looks at the law. Now SURS plans to follow suit.

University of Illinois spokesman Jan Dennis said the university believes the new interpretation will fix the problem.

Some lawmakers have already filed legislation to change the language and said they could

Emanuel orders motorcade drivers to slow down

CHICAGO – Mayor Rahm Emanuel has ordered his motorcade drivers to slow down after a TV report that traffic cameras

have caught them speeding and running red lights.

Asked about it at a news conference Wednesday, Emanuel said he told them “nobody’s above the law, slow down, period.”

Emanuel has defended the cameras as a safety measure around schools and parks, but

critics contend they are primarily a revenue generator.

WLS-TV reported that it ran the mayor’s plates through a city website that logs traffic camera violations. The station said it found the vehicles ran 17 red lights and were caught speeding three times since 2012.

Sales of organic products climb in Illinois

SPRINGFIELD – Sales from Illinois organic farms more than tripled during a five-year period, according to statistics released by the federal government.

The Springfield State Journal-Register reported annual organic sales from the state’s farms reached $26.2 million in 2012, up from $8.3 million in 2007.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture figures show sales growth came despite the fact that the overall number of farms in the state fell during the same period.

The tabulated figures only include farms with at least $5,000 in annual sales that sell USDA-certified organic products.

Kendra Schilling, who manages the Illinois Products Farmers’ Market at the Illinois State Fairgrounds, said the federal data doesn’t include figures from smaller growers who haven’t gone through the certification process. Illinois’ overall crop sales were $14.1 billion in 2012, while livestock sales reached about $3 billion.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Prosecutor: Shooting of dad, a veteran, justified BURLINGTON, Vt. – A teenager’s fatal shooting of a troubled Army veteran father who threatened his family then tossed the child a loaded gun was legally justified, a Vermont prosecutor said Wednesday.

No charges will be filed against the child of Kryn Miner, 44, a veteran suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, who was shot and killed inside the family’s Essex Junction home last month.

Miner had threatened to kill his four children, physically assaulted his wife and threw a loaded handgun to the teen who came to her aid.

“The teenager reasonably believed the siblings and mother were all in imminent danger of being killed or suffering great bodily harm,” Chittenden County State’s Attorney T.J. Donovan said.

House panel works on bill to rebuff Pentagon cuts WASHINGTON – House Republicans are sparing Cold War-era aircraft, military bases and ships from Pentagon cuts as even tea partyers abandon their drive to slash federal spending in an election year.

The House Armed Services Committee plunged into a marathon session Wednesday to craft a $601 billion defense bill that would authorize spending on planes, personnel, weapons and ships in the budget year that

begins Oct. 1.

The overall spending matches a deficit-driven, bipartisan budget agreement, and reflects a new phase for the Pentagon after more than a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Working within spending constraints, the Pentagon is seeking flexibility to ensure service members are ready to fight and the military can handle emerging threats.

“Sustaining our edge in the face of new strategic and fiscal challenges will require Congress’ partnership in making tough choices, always looking at our broader national interests instead of narrow constituencies,” Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said this week.

Lawmakers largely ignored those words.

9 indicted in synthetic drug crackdown DENVER – Nine people have been indicted by a federal grand jury in Denver as part of a national crackdown on synthetic drugs.

Federal officials said Wednesday that the nine people are from various states and some also are facing state charges. It wasn’t immediately clear whether they have been arrested yet or whether they have lawyers.

Synthetic marijuana has been linked to outbreaks of illness in Colorado and elsewhere. While real marijuana is legal in Colorado, synthetic marijuana blends marketed under names such as K2, Spice and Blaze are not.

Cornelia Orr, Executive Director, National Assessment Governing Board pauses Wednesday before she begins a program at Dunbar High School in Washington to announce results of The Nation’s Report Card: 2013 Mathematics and Reading, Grade 12, which details 12th graders’ performance in mathematics and reading nationwide and in 13 pilot states.

No gains for high school seniors on national exam

By KIMBERLY HEFLING The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Handing out dismal grades, the Nation’s Report Card said America’s high school seniors lack critical math and reading skills for an increasingly competitive global economy.

Only about one-quarter are performing proficiently or better in math and just 4 in 10 in reading. And they’re not improving, the report said, reinforcing concerns that large numbers of today’s students are unprepared for either college or the workplace.

Scores on the 2013 exam in both subjects were little changed from 2009, when the National Assessment of Educational Progress was last given to 12th-graders. The new results, released Wednesday, come from a representative sample of 92,000 public and

private school students.

The report follows the just-released and seemingly more encouraging research that U.S. high school graduation rates in 2012 reached 80 percent, a record.

One possible explanation is that lower-performing students who in the past would have dropped out of school are now remaining in the sampling of students who take the exam, said John Easton, acting commissioner of the Education’s Department’s National Center for Education Statistics.

Wednesday’s results are likely to embolden supporters of the Common Core standards that are being rolled out in 44 states and the District of Columbia. Designed to develop critical thinking skills, they spell out what math and English skills students should master at each grade.

There have been political storms in many states over the standards, which were pushed by governors who were concerned about the skill levels of their high school graduates.

Opponents say the standards have a federalist bent and are untested.

Bob Wise, president of the Alliance for Excellent Education and a former governor of West Virginia, said the new national results speak to a “desperate need for the aggressive implementation” of the standards.

In reading, the 38 percent share of students performing at or above the proficient level was lower than when the assessment was first given in 1992, when it was 40 percent.

Scores have remained similar since 1994.

Past comparisons in math date only to 2005. Scores had increased from 2005 to 2009.

House GOP moves toward establishing Benghazi probe

By BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – House Republicans on Wednesday moved toward an election-year special investigation of the deadly attack on a U.S. diplomatic post in Libya, brushing aside Democratic concerns over the panel’s scope and composition. The Obama administration, meanwhile, accused Republicans of “political motivation” after they issued a fundraising email linked to the Benghazi probe.

Ahead of a Thursday vote to rubber-stamp the establishment of the Benghazi select committee, House Speaker John Boehner vowed that the examination would be “all about getting to the truth” of the Obama administration’s response to the attack and not be a partisan, election-year circus. “This is a serious investigation,” he said, accusing the president and his team of withholding the true story of how militants killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012.

Democrats pondered a boycott while waiting for Boehner to respond to demand from Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi that he scrap his plan for a committee of seven Republicans and five Democrats. Democrats insisted membership should be evenly split, and urged time and cost constraints for a forum they likened to a “kangaroo court” designed only to drum up GOP support ahead of the November elections.

Under Boehner’s legislation, the select panel “can go on forever,” Rep. Xavier Becerra, D-Calif., told reporters. “The amount of money they can spend is undefined and can be unlimited.”

The committee’s establishment is assured in the GOPrun House. But Republicans, too, expressed an interest in securing Democratic participation. They’ve made Benghazi a central plank of their strategy to wrest control of the Senate from the Democrats later this year. An inquiry that can be

presented as bipartisan would have greater credibility with voters beyond the conservative base.

Republicans insist the White House, concerned primarily with protecting President Barack Obama in the final weeks of his re-election campaign, misled the nation by playing down intelligence suggesting Benghazi was a major, al-Qaida-linked terrorist attack. They accuse the administration of stonewalling congressional investigators ever since, pointing specifically to emails written by U.S. officials in the days after the attack but only released last week.

“A line was crossed,” said Boehner, who in April said there was no need for a select committee. Correspondence among top officials showed the White House “played a more significant role” in deciding how the attack ought to be described publicly, he told reporters Wednesday. Unveiling legislation late Tuesday to establish the select committee, Boehner said the panel would get “as much time as needed” because of the administration’s “history of slow-walking information.”

The Obama administration says officials tried to provide the public with the best information available after the attack at a time when U.S. embassies, consulates and other facilities were facing angry demonstrations across the Muslim world over a YouTube video mocking Islam’s prophet, Mohammed. It originally attributed Benghazi to a similar protest that extremists hijacked but retracted that account amid severe criticism. It says Republicans are persisting with Benghazi questions in the hopes of generating a scandal to gain political support.

Like House Democrats, the administration has yet to say if it will cooperate with the select committee. On Wednesday, White House spokesman Josh Earnest pounced on congressional Republicans for seeking campaign money off the investigation.

WORLD BRIEFS Pentagon: No ops planned yet for Nigeria WASHINGTON – A handful of U.S. troops will arrive in Nigeria in the next few days to help find nearly 300 girls kidnapped by the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram, but the U.S. has no plans to launch any military operations, the Pentagon said Wednesday.

Pentagon spokesman Col. Steve Warren said fewer than 10 troops are being sent as part of the larger U.S. assistance team to include State Department and Justice Department personnel.

The military members will help with communications, logistics and intelligence-planning.

Warren said the U.S. was talking with Nigeria about information and intelligence-sharing, but nothing has been decided.

There are already about 70 military personnel in Nigeria, including 50 regularly assigned to the embassy, and 20 Marines have been there for training.

At the State Department, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the

department was moving swiftly to put a team in place at the U.S. Embassy in Abuja that can provide military, law enforcement and information-sharing assistance in support of Nigeria’s efforts to find and free the girls.

She said the U.S. ambassador to Nigeria met Wednesday morning with Nigeria’s national security adviser.

Court forces out Thai prime minister BANGKOK – A court ousted Thailand’s prime minister on Wednesday for abuse of power, accomplishing what anti-government demonstrators have sought to do for the past six months and further widening the country’s sharp political divide.

Supporters of deposed Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra called for a huge rally Saturday to protest the ruling by the Constitutional Court, which exercised powers laid out in a constitution written by a military government after a coup in 2006.

The leader of the anti-government protesters, Suthep Thaugsuban, meanwhile, told his followers that they would stage a “final offensive” on Friday and would achieve their goal of fully ousting the government.

The court found Yingluck guilty of abusing her power by transferring the National Security Council chief in 2011 to another position. It ruled that the transfer was carried out to benefit her politically powerful family and, therefore, violated the constitution – an accusation she has denied.

The ruling also forced out nine Cabinet members but left nearly two dozen others in their posts, including Deputy Prime Minister Niwattumrong Boonsongpaisan, who was appointed the new acting leader.

Yingluck appeared on television two hours after the verdict to thank her supporters, emphasize that she was an elected leader and assert her innocence.

OUR VIEW

Nosedive in traffic deaths a healthy trend Don’t look now, but Illinois’ highway traffic fatalities have taken a big nosedive since the beginning of the year.

As of Tuesday, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation, 242 people had lost their lives in fatal crashes on all roadways in the state.

That marks a nearly 27 percent reduction compared with the 330 fatalities from the same date a year ago.

With one-third of the year in the books, Illinoisans have reason to celebrate such good news.

What could be the cause?

Here are a few possibilities: • The ban on drivers using handheld cellphones took effect Jan. 1. With one less distraction behind the wheel, drivers might be having fewer crashes en route to their destinations.

• Drifting snow, slippery ice and bone-chilling cold might have discouraged drivers from making road trips during certain times in January, February and March. Fewer people on the road could have led to fewer crashes.

• The increase in the interstate highway speed limit from 65 mph to 70 mph also could have been a factor, although it sounds counterintuitive.

However, supporters of the 70 mph limit argued that highway safety would improve if more vehicles traveled at the same speed.

Last year, when 992 people lost their lives in state traffic crashes, the death rate was 2.72 a day.

If the current death rate for 2014 of 1.92 per day continues through December, Illinois is on track to experience a nearly 300 person reduction in its death toll, to about 700.

That would be the fewest fatalities since record keeping began in 1920, and the biggest year-to-year decline since 1943.

How can motorists continue to participate in this beneficial trend?

Keep their hands off cellphones while behind the wheel, and keep their eyes on the road.

Distracted driving, in fact, is one of the “Fatal Four” infractions that State Police continue to target for enforcement, along with speeding, driving under the influence and not wearing seat belts.

Disobeying the seat-belt law remains a problem. Among the 242 fatalities thus far in 2014, restraint was not used, or used improperly, in 66 instances.

Of course, seat belts cannot always prevent death. It’s worth noting that, so far this year, 88 people who wore seat belts in fatal crashes still lost their lives.

The trend for much safer highways in 2014 has been established. Let’s keep it going. We urge people to continue to drive defensively and watch out for the other guy.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

It’s time to correct the record on McCarthy Dear Victor Davis Hanson, You suggest in your syndicated column, “Harry Reid: A McCarthy for Our Time,” that we “ask Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) the same question once posed to Sen. Joseph McCarthy by U.S. Army head-counsel Joseph N. Welch: ‘Have you no sense of decency, sir? At long last, have you left no sense of decency?’”

First, I would like to ask you a question: Are you aware of the context of Welch’s showboating remarks?

M. Stanton Evans did the spadework in “Blacklisted by History,” his groundbreaking – no, orbit-reversing – book about the late Sen. McCarthy, who died in 1957. The book devastates the fact-devoid conventional wisdom (including the “no decency” fable) on McCarthy and reconstructs an evidence-based record. A very different person emerges from Evans’ research: a political leader who – alas for the purveyors of “court history” – in no way resem-

VIEWS Diana West bles the execrable Harry Reid.

Yes, Welch theatrically denounced McCarthy at a June 1954 Senate hearing for outing Welch’s assistant Frederick Fisher as a former member of a Communist front, the National Lawyers Guild.

But weeks earlier, on April 16, 1954, Welch himself outed Fisher – confirming that he’d relieved Fisher from duty over his previous front membership – in the pages of The New York Times!

It sounds fantastic – it is fantastic – but somehow Welch’s baseless “no decency” accusation lingers, its staying power derived from wells of pure ignorance, laziness or mendacity. It cries out for correction.

Next, you equate Reid’s smear of the peaceful patriots supporting Cliven Bundy as “domestic

terrorists” with what you describe as McCarthy’s “smearing his opponents with lurid allegations, while questioning their patriotism.” Peaceful patriots demonstrating about federal government overreach equals covert Communists infiltrating the federal government? Is that a logical pairing? Which peaceful patriots did McCarthy smear with “lurid allegations,” anyway?

I note that despite your being a widely respected historian, the historical record is not a part of this essay. That is, your examples of Reid’s allegedly McCarthy-like evil come down to the familiar buzz phrases – “Have you no decency?” and “lurid allegations,” the famous list of names, “un-American.”

Take Reid’s slander of Mitt Romney as a tax cheat and what you deservedly call Reid’s “pathetic rejoinder” on being asked for proof: “I’ve had a number of

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

‘PHA’ MALADY INFECTING AREA

unflagging courage to bring to light the dangerously lax security practices in the federal government that enabled Soviet agents and agents of influence (American traitors) in their extremely successful – I call it victorious in my book “American Betrayal” – covert war on this country.

Meanwhile, it is a plain truth that McCarthy correctly identified more than “a few” Communists in the federal government, as other historians such as Harvey Klehr have written.

You conclude: “Part Tammany Hall-style fixer, part pre-civil rights Democrat, and part demagogic Joe McCarthy, Harry Reid is a throwback to a type of American politics better left forgotten.”

I don’t think the demagogy here is McCarthy’s.

people tell me that.” You compare that to McCarthy’s 1950 list of Communists on the State Department payroll.

You write: “One wonders how many names were on Reid’s McCarthyite ‘tell’ list – were there, as McCarthy used to bluster, 205 names, or perhaps just 57?”

Again, is this an apt historical parallel? Malicious slander against a GOP nominee and allegations about serious security lapses in the State Department? I don’t think so. If the implication in your use of the word “bluster” is that McCarthy had no list of names, I’m sorry, but the evidence laid out in “Blacklisted

by History” (Chapter 14) tells us otherwise.

Your column continues: “When asked again to document the slur, Reid echoed McCarthy perfectly: ‘The burden should be on him. He’s the one I’ve alleged has not paid any taxes.’”

In what instance has “Reid echoed McCarthy perfectly”?

Are you implying that McCarthy’s investigations into Communists in the federal government were based on evidence of no higher caliber or substance than Reid’s wholly unsubstantiated bombast?

Then you ask: “So how does Reid’s reckless career continue with the Senate leader avoiding the sort of

congressional censure that finally did in McCarthy? Why is there is no progressive muckraker to take on Reid the way that Edward R. Murrow once exposed McCarthy?”

It would be fun to throw a pop quiz at all historians and journalists who write on this issue to see what they really know about the “congressional censure” that “did in” McCarthy.

Would they know that out of the original 46 charges against McCarthy, the Senate voted to censure McCarthy on only one single count? And what was that count? McCarthy’s alleged stonewalling of the Gillette committee, a fishing expedition into the finances of his family and friends during one of multiple witch-hunt-style investigations the Senate initiated against him.

No doubt it’s easier to allude to such events than to explain them. Ditto on how “muckraker” Murrow “exposed” McCarthy. I have a hunch that the punditry’s explanation would closely track the synopsis of the completely ahistorical George Clooney movie on Murrow, “Good Night and Good Luck.”

Instead, I suggest “Blacklisted

by History,” pages 538 and 539.

Tragically, the recurring and gratuitous slander of the late, great McCarthy prevents Americans from understanding the enormous debt we owe the man for having had the

JOLIET CATHOLIC 5, MARIAN CATHOLIC 1

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, May 8, 2014

JOLIET – Marian Catholic rallied for four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning Monday to erase a 3-1 deficit and beat Joliet Catholic, 5-3.

In the second and final game of the East Suburban Catholic series Wednesday at Gillespie Field, the Spartans’ Michael Bainbridge led off the game with a booming triple. He scored on Patrick Schmidt’s two-out infield single.

That pretty much was the last hurrah for Marian, however. JCA right-hander Kyle Polaski and three relievers slammed the door and the Hilltoppers’ offense delivered in a 5-1 victory.

Next up for JCA (19-6, 6-4 ESC) is a conference doubleheader Saturday against St. Patrick at University of Illinois at Chicago.

“Kyle [Polaski] threw real well on short rest,” said JCA cleanup hitter Aaron Markley, who doubled home the tying run in the bottom of the first inning and scored himself on Keegan Tyrell’s infield single.

Markley’s batting average has been around .400 all season, and that complements the table-setters.

“The guys in front of me in the order [Rylan Bannon, Nick Dalesandro and Mitch Boe] make it easy for me with the way they run the bases,” Markley said. “Our coaches preach that we have to keep doing the little things.

“Usually, all I have to do is put the ball in play and it gets somebody in.”

“I love running the bases,” said Dalesandro, who walked twice, stole second and third both times and scored both times. “The coaches emphasized that last summer, and I could tell I got a lot faster.

“I moved from the 3-hole to the 2-hole three or four games ago. I’m doing more running, and I love it.”

“Dalesandro stealing second and third like he did set the tone for everything,” Bannon said.

Tyrell knocked in Dalesandro with a sacrifice fly in the third to make it 3-1, and Ban-

Joliet Catholic’s Danny Weis steals second during the second inning of Wednesday’s game. non did the rest. He lofted his third home run of the season over the left-field fence in the fourth and drilled a run-scoring single in the sixth after John Kalisik and Danny Weis had singled.

“Against slow guys like him [Marian left-handed reliever Daniel Janowski], I try to take

the ball the other way,” Bannon said. “The home run was a mistake. I wanted to go the other way, not pull it, but I got around on it and hit it good.”

JCA coach Jared Voss credited the bottom of the Hilltoppers’ lineup with having “a lot good at-bats. They had long counts, and that played into

how this game went.”

Voss said Polaski threw 80 pitches last Saturday, and “he was only going to throw 80 today [which he did in four innings]. Three days is a little bit of short rest.

“I’m not sure he had his good fastball, but he settled in after the leadoff triple and

did a good job. All four of our pitchers did the job.”

Zach Jackovich, Danny Ehrsam and Dalesandro each pitched an inning in relief.

Shortstop Boe turned in the defensive gem when he made a diving stab of a shot up the middle with a runner on second in the seventh inning and threw the batter out at first.

The four JCA pitchers combined for 10 strikeouts and one walk, and Marian (13-11, 5-5) managed only three hits.

Except for Bainbridge, the losing pitcher who also roped a long double, the Spartans’ bats were silent.

“I love games where we’re playing behind Kyle [Polaski],” Bannon, the second baseman, said. “He works fast and throws strikes.”

He helped get the Hilltoppers back on track after Monday’s loss.

“We’re most definitely headed in the right direction,” Bannon said. “Our heads are in the right place.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: LOCKPORT 2, BOLINGBROOK 0 (25-23, 25-23)

| SPORTS

Porters use late rallies to defeat Raiders

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, May 8, 2014

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Whenever squads compete in the state’s toughest conference in a sport, it’s very easy to get down when times get tough.

Although the boys volleyball teams from Lockport and Bolingbrook have shown improvement this season, their records don’t reflect that because of its showing in the rugged SouthWest Suburban Conference.

And while the Porters and Raiders each only had one league win to their credit heading into Wednesday’s match, the pair competed like they were battling for the title.

Bolingbrook put itself in a good position to win its senior night after grabbing late leads in each set but Lockport spoiled the party by rallying to claim a 25-23, 25-23 victory.

The Raiders (9-14-1, 1-7

SSC) had gone 1-10 since their 8-3-1 start but that wasn’t apparent after their spirited effort against the Porters (1511, 2-5).

After falling behind 19-16 before winning the opener, Lockport saw a 16-11 lead disappear in the second set, but overcame a 20-18 deficit to emerge with the victory.

“We play in one of the toughest, if not the toughest, conferences in the state and it’s from top to bottom,” Porters coach Nick Mraz said.

“If you put some of our teams into other conferences, we might win championships.

You could see the quality of play tonight. We’ve both been getting better each year, and now we’re starting to battle with the bigger guys.

“It was their senior night and we knew that they’d be hungry and you mix that with them being a good team, it was a recipe for disaster for us. Good teams have to be able to finish it when they’re

able to, so I was glad that my guys were able to persevere through it. We’re only playing three seniors, so we’re getting a lot of experience from our younger guys.”

Both squads are in the Bolingbrook Sectional and feel that as a result of being battle-tested they can compete for regional titles.

“We started out strong and then we hit a real rough patch in the middle of the season after going back-toback-to-back against some really tough teams,” Raiders coach Andrea Bercot said.

“We didn’t play at our best and that shook our confidence a little bit. So I’ve really just tried to focus with them on their performance to get out of it.

“It’s easy to question all of the good stuff that was happening, but it wasn’t due to luck but because they earned it since they are a good team.

I’m just trying to get them so that they can play their best.

I ask them if they put it all on the line, then there’s not much more that we can do since the feedback that I’m giving them is technical and tactical.”

The opener was back-andforth, but the Raiders looked to be in a good spot after taking a 19-16 lead. However, the Porters used a late 9-4 run, with Matt Sadler (eight kills) providing three kills and Vince Smithwick (five kills, six blocks) adding a pair of kills.

In the second set, Lockport grabbed the 16-11 lead with kills from Mike Karl (five kills) and Adam Krzos, but Bolingbrook answered with a 9-2 spurt as Steven Richmond (four blocks) had a pair of blocks and Tyler Mitchem added a kill.

However, Lockport responded with its own 7-3 run as Karl and Sadler had kills to go along with some misshits, a service error and a net violation.

The Porters also received 13 assists from Ryan Sadler and 13 digs from Danny Woulfe while the Raiders also got five kills apiece from Christian Ales (eight digs) and Avery Johnson and 14 assists from Enrique Barajas.

“We’re a new group of guys and we have a very young team,” Matt Sadler said. “We’ve made a lot of improvement since the beginning of the season. This was a good game for us since we were able to get ourselves back on track after being on a losing streak.

“We have a tough conference but we’ve been hanging with teams. There are no easy teams in our conference since everyone always puts up a good fight. In the past, Lockport has been just another team in the conference, but we’re trying to become a team where others know that they’re going to have to put their best foot forward against us.”

Placher named Joliet West girls basketball coach

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The discussion about the most successful basketball coaches in the Joliet area in the last several years has to include John Placher.

Joliet West plans to tap into that experience as the 1980 West graduate was approved this week as the Tigers’ new girls basketball coach.

West finished 10-18 last season under Kevin Michaels, who resigned and will move into an assistant’s role in the boys program.

Placher has coached the last 18 years at Channahon Junior High, mostly with seven- and eighth-grade boys, but he also guided the sixth-grade girls one year.

Placher’s boys teams reached the IESA Elite Eight three times. He coached five regional champions and sported a 280-75 overall record.

Channahon has won 10 straight Illinois Valley Conference titles against the likes of Minooka, Morris, Coal City, Wilmington and Reed-Custer, and Placher was the coach for the last seven seasons.

“I’ve had aspirations to coach on the high school level and I think I am ready for the varsity level,” Placher said.

“What people sometimes don’t realize is when you’re winning conference, regional and sectional championships in the IESA, you’re doing it in front of a packed house. It really is like being in a big high school game.”

“Obviously, what stood out about John was his success at Channahon and what he can do in terms of helping us compete in our conference [SouthWest Suburban Blue],” West Athletic Director Steve Millsaps said.

“This is a guy who has been around and we wanted to get that type of experience

in our program.”

Placher, 52, also has coached freshmen and sophomore level AAU teams. He is a maintenance supervisor at the Lemont Citgo Refinery, where he has been employed for 28 years, but basketball has remained a passion.

“I really enjoy the game,” he said. “My daughter is playing right now at St. Francis, so I know what it takes to reach the next level in girls basketball.”

“You can see his influence with how many keep playing basketball and go into teaching the game after they play for him,” said former Channahon and Minooka High School player Tommy Stokke.

“There’s a family bond that comes from playing for him that makes him a perfect fit for high school basketball.”

Placher attended West during the Tigers’ golden era of girls basketball.

“I grew up with Cathy Bo-

swell,” he said of the former West all-stater, who led the Tigers to the 1978 state championship. “I’m going to ask her if she will come out and talk to our team sometime when she is in town.”

“John mentioned Cathy Boswell when we talked,” Millsaps said. “There was nobody better in girls basketball history at West.”

Placher and Millsaps will combine to determine the remainder of Placher’s staff.

Kathleen Thanas was the varsity assistant under Michaels and may remain in that capacity.

West signings Twenty-two West athletes signed this week with the colleges at a ceremony at the school. Included were girls basketball players TreAnna Perry (William Penn), Kailey Foster (Augustana College), Valencia Chandler (Rend Lake) and Je’nae Rose (Rend

Lake).

Others were Casadi Brendemuehl (volleyball, Roosevelt); Julianne Kowalski (bowling, Wisconsin-Whitewater); Sarah Schalk (cross country, track, North Central); LaSandra Armstrong (track, Robert Morris); Maria Arzate (cross country, Delta State); Ronald Banner (football, Robert Morris); Niko Messino (football, Carthage); Jordan Brown, (football, Pasadena City College); Allias Roberts-Burnett (basketball, Illinois Valley CC); Elliot Fizer (basketball, Elgin CC); Patrick O’Connell (cross country, North Park); Morgan Brooks (dance, Robert Morris); Brian Lyman (volleyball, McKendree); Armani Foster (volleyball, Quincy); Julia Liceaga (softball, Murray State); Joy Treasure (softball, Illinois Central); Zack Thomas (baseball, Chicago State) and Chad Benavidez (baseball, Judson).

Plainfield Central’s Ryan helps organize diabetes fundraiser

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The name Matt Ryan has appeared on the pages of The Herald-News through the years, usually in regard to his many accomplishments in the athletic arena.

This week, the Plainfield Central senior shortstop/ pitcher is using his other talents to aid a special cause.

Ryan said in an email to The Herald-News that his senior project for Link Crew was to create a day to raise awareness for Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes and raise money toward life-changing research for JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Fund).

The Strike Out Diabetes game is scheduled for 4:15 p.m. Thursday when the Wildcats host Southwest Prairie foe Oswego East. A couple of

Type 1 students are scheduled to throw out the first pitch.

Ryan said the Central baseball program was busy all week, raising money for JDRF by having a T-shirt signing contest and selling pies that will be thrown at the Wildcats’ baseball coaches during lunch hour Friday.

Central students this week are watching a video Ryan created to the song “A Life Less Ordinary” about a day in the life of a childhood diabetic and what he has to overcome.

“We will be wearing blue and gray wristbands for diabetes awareness that day,” Ryan said in his email. “Together, we can strike out diabetes!”

Regardless of what Ryan and his Central teammates accomplish on the field the rest of the season, they will have a victory that truly matters on their resume.

“I’m here to do my job and hopefully get back [to affiliated ball] Jose Garcia Joliet Slammers shortstop

game Wednesday. He scored from second on a dropped third strike, the second of two runs to score after the catcher’s throw to first.

“I saw the catcher kick the ball away, and then when I got to third, I saw nobody was covering home and I seized the opportunity,” DeBruin said. “That was a first for me to score from second on a play like that.”

“To Grant’s credit, he went on his own,” said Isom, who also coaches third base.

“I didn’t send him. We’re stressing being aggressive on the bases early in camp, and

I loved what I saw there. The idea is to keep opposing teams on their toes.”

Isom said he would like to see his pitching staff “command their pitches more.

They got into a lot of deep counts. But we have good arms, and we have the ability to hit.

“We’ve been swinging the bats well, and today we took advantage of our opportunities. That’s encouraging. We had good swings.”

Orland Park native Troy Josza was among the effective Slammers’ pitchers, retiring all six batters he faced.

“We’re still trying to iron some things out, but it looks like after these exhibition games, there will be tough decisions to make,” Isom said.

“That’s a good thing.”

The Slammers open the regular season May 16 when they host Southern Illinois.

JOLIET – Joliet Slammers shortstop Jose Garcia thought it was cool to say hello to a fellow Venezuelan who attended Wednesday morning’s exhibition game at Silver Cross Field, where the Slammers beat the Normal CornBelters, 9-4.

All those elementary and junior high school students from the area who attended the game also were impressed as the parade of autograph seekers seemed endless.

Yes, former White Sox shortstop and manager Ozzie Guillen sat in the first row adjacent to the CornBelters’ on-deck circle. He was there to watch his son Ozney, who played third base and batted third for Normal. Ozney went

0 for 3 with a walk.

“It was pretty nice to see [Ozzie] and say hello to him, with him being a big league player and manager from Venezuela,” said Garcia, himself a smooth-fielding shortstop. “I enjoyed seeing him there.”

“I saw [Guillen] and Garcia give the nod to each other,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “That’s two Venezuelan guys. They probably know each other.”

Garcia had two run-scoring singles in five at-bats to help lead an opportunistic offense for the Slammers (1-2 in the exhibition season).

“I’m here to do my job and hopefully get back [to affiliated ball],” said Garcia, 26, who had about 250 at-bats in Double A and Triple A as a member of the St. Louis Cardinals’ organization. “I’ve been work-

ing hard on my offense.”

“He hit at both Double A and Triple A and he’s showing that he’s a threat with the bat,” Isom said. “He’s a true professional. So far he hasn’t given at-bats away.”

Grant DeBruin, a holdover from the 2013 Slammers, is another one who has no intention of giving away at-bats.

He was among the Frontier League batting leaders early last season but slipped as the season progressed, finishing with a .231 average.

“I’m kind of changing my approach at the plate,” DeBruin said. “I want to be aggressive early in the count, which I was when I was doing well last year. I want to get back to that. If I see a good fastball to hit early on, I want to jump on it.”

DeBruin doubled in a run, singled and made the headsup baserunning play of the

SHARING THE GOSPEL

Joliet woman’s faith experiences featured on Lifetime show ‘Preachers’ Daughters’

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Thank you, Jesus!

People often say those words in response to prayers positively answered. These also were the first words spoken by Taylor Coleman, 19, of Joliet, a star of the Lifetime docusoap “Preachers’ Daughters” show, when she was just a toddler.

It was in response to a fresh diaper.

“We were totally stunned,” said Taylor’s father Kenneth Coleman, pastor of City of Refuge Pentecostal church in Lockport.

But praising the Lord wasn’t the first thought on Kenneth’s mind two years ago when the then 17-year-old Taylor answered a Craigslist ad for an acting job and was offered a spot on the new show.

“I thought it was a scam,” Kenneth recalled, to which Taylor had replied, “Well, Daddy, they want to talk to you, too.” Kenneth agreed and Taylor continued, “They want to Skype you.” And Kenneth said, “Even better.”

Taylor, who’s loved the challenge of portraying other people since she was very young, was thrilled at the chance to show the world that dwelling in the fishbowl of life as a preacher’s daughter had nothing to do with one of two stereotypes.

“People either thought I was a goody-two-shoes or I was very bad,” Taylor said.

“I remember in junior high, they used to call me ‘the little church girl’ and that I probably didn’t know how to have fun. … Everyone except my two best friends put me into a little box.”

But Kenneth was less enthusiastic about film crews hanging about the house from dawn to dusk and recording everything except bathroom breaks. More than once, he asked Taylor if she was sure about taking part.

Once filming began in October 2012, that bathroom be-

Taylor said she often did her homework at 3 a.m., even though she had to catch a bus at 6 a.m. for classes at Joliet Central High School.

But as the show pro gressed, episodes addressed more than Taylor’s social life in and out of the church or that her mother, Marie, also is a preacher.

“Preachers’ Daughters” also addressed her faith and that had nothing to do with her father’s humorous Bible stories and her church experiences while growing up: attending two services on Sundays, Bible study, singing on the worship team, family prayer and Taylor’s relatively mild high school rebellion.

“Now don’t get me wrong,” Taylor said. “I love church, but I did not want to be there every day. I wanted to go to the movies, to the mall and to parties, but my parents said parties were bad.”

Nevertheless, Taylor found as she distanced herself from church attendance, her relationship with God suffered, too.

“He was like a boyfriend I’d only talk to here and there: ‘Hey, how are things?’ and then I’d go and do what I wanted to do,’” Taylor said.

“I knew I should talk to God, so I prayed at bedtime and in church but that was about it.”

Two incidents helped renew that faith. One was receiving “rude and judgmental” comments on social media sites from people professing to be devout Christians. The other was when her father, who

receives dialysis treatment several times a week for kidney failure, missed her high school graduation because he had just come off life support.

Ironically, shortly before Kenneth’s lungs filled with fluid and threatened his life, Kenneth had vowed he’d “have to be dead” to miss that milestone in Taylor’s life. Kenneth woke up the day before the big event, but his doctor would not release him from the hospital, Taylor said.

“I came to see him in my cap and gown,” Taylor said.

“I brought him a laptop so he could watch the ceremony online.”

Although Kenneth has witnessed plenty of healing at his church for other people, Kenneth’s persistent illness has not embittered him.

“It’s just made me more determined to serve the Lord

and not abandon my faith,” Kenneth said. “We all have challenging days. I just look at it as an opportunity to share the Gospel.”

That’s why, ultimately, Kenneth consented to “Preachers’ Daughters.” And although Taylor has given many media interviews and inspirational talks to scores of young people, and her songwriting has morphed from pop to contemporary Christian, it’s letters from fans that say, “I want to be like you” that tells Kenneth he made the right call.

“Taylor never bucked for popularity,” Kenneth said.

“She was the one talking to the new kid in the neighborhood, helping the ones that were overlooked and being friends with the kids who were outcast. That’s what it means to be a Christian.”

PLAINFIELD – Each spring dozens of St. Mary Immaculate Parish School students compete in the “Battle of the Books” competitions, which are at the elementary school (fourth and fifth grade) and junior high school (sixth, seventh and eighth grade) levels. The school is at 15629 S. Route 59 Plainfield.

For “Battle of the Books,” students read books and gather together to demonstrate their abilities and test their knowledge of those books.

Students begin preparing the previous May when they received a list of eight to 10 books to start reading over the summer.

Coordinated by school librarian, Lisa Kissel, parent volunteers compose hundreds of questions about the details in each of the books.

Question packets are distributed to the students to study.

Many students will read the books a second or third time.

More than 100 junior high “Battle of the Books” students gather in the gym.

Parent volunteers begin in January to quiz the students during lunch in preparation for the night of the competition.

This year, the junior high competition took place at St. Mary Immaculate Parish School on April 7, with seven schools (137 students) participating. By the end of the night, the St. Mary Immaculate seventh- and eighth-

grade teams had won first place, and the St. Mary Immaculate sixth-grade team had won second place.

The elementary battle was on April 10 at St. Paul the Apostle in Joliet. There were 186 students participating from nine schools. Again, St. Mary Immaculate students excelled as both the St. Mary Immaculate fourth- and fifthgrade teams won first place.

St. Mary Immaculate academic team wins 3rd place at quiz bowl PLAINFIELD – On April 15, St. Mary Immaculate Parish School, 15629 S. Route 59, Plainfield, was one of 15 schools to participate in Montini High School’s “It’s Academic” quiz bowl.

The annual contest for seventh-graders offered both individual and team events with the excitement of buzzers and lights for students during the fast-paced team portion of competition.

Each member of the St. Mary Immaculate team competed individually in a written test on one subject: Sarah Deffenbaugh (math), Sydney Scepkowski (social studies), Claire Sweeney (English) and Kylie Weis (science). Based on those test scores from all 15 schools’ participants, Sweeney won second place in English and Weis won second place in science. The team finished third.

Sarah Deffenbaugh (front row), Kylie Weis (back row, from left to right) Sydney Scepkowski and Claire Sweeney competed in the quiz bowl.

How soon should you draw trumps?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Rupert Murdoch said, “The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.”

Not necessarily at the bridge table, though. Sometimes, for example, drawing trumps early will lose a contract. And, of course, occasionally not drawing trumps soon enough can be fatal.

Which applies in this deal?

South is in four spades, and West leads the heart king.

Note North’s four-spade rebid.

It promises at least four-card support and denies a first- or second-round control. South is implying that he has (at least) nine winners when he opens two clubs and rebids two spades.

North hopes that his trumps will provide a 10th trick. (Yes, South’s hand is a minimum.

Some experts would rebid two no-trump to limit the hand. But that would not work well here, because North would surely pass, and the contract would fail.)

Given that the trumps are 3-1, South has five losers: one spade, one heart, one diamond and two clubs. The black-suit losers are unavoidable, so declarer must ruff his low red-suit cards in the dummy.

The right play is to win the first trick, to cash exactly one top trump, then to play off the three top diamonds, discarding dummy’s remaining heart. Next, South ruffs the heart seven in the dummy, returns to his hand with a trump, and ruffs his diamond five – mission accomplished.

Note that if declarer begins with both of his top trumps, he will be stranded in the dummy after the first ruff. West can get in with his club ace and draw dummy’s last trump, leaving South with a fourth loser.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips each other. Although we have been together, we do not currently live together.

My problem is she’s still living with her ex-husband. They have been separated for 12 years, but circumstances have brought them back into the same residence. I don’t have an issue with their “roommate” situation.

What I DO take issue with is him introducing himself as her husband. Since I heard him do that, I have been in an uncomfortable state. Am I wrong for feeling this way, or is she wrong for allowing it to happen? – Seething In Sacramento Dear Seething: Whether this couple has been separated for 12 years or not, they are still legally married. He IS her husband. You may be feeling uncomfortable because you feel like you may be involved in a triangle, and from

where I sit, it may be true. It’s time to have a frank conversation with your partner to clarify exactly what your role is.

Dear Abby: I have been trying to plan my son and future daughterin-law’s rehearsal dinner. The bride originally told me a local pizza place would be fine for the dinner. I insisted that I would like something “nicer,” and she said it was up to me.

I have found a place within budget, but have just learned that the bridal shower is being catered by the same place. Is it acceptable for me to have the rehearsal at the same place?

We live in a town with relatively limited options, and there are other important festivities going on that day that limit my options.

Would it be OK to have it at the same restaurant, but serve different food? – Future Mother-In-Law Dear Future Mother-In-Law: Absolutely! And congratulations on the forthcoming happy event.

Sufferers of tourette syndrome need understanding Dear Doctor K: My grandson was recently diagnosed with Tourette syndrome. Could you explain what this is? What can I do to help him?

Dear Reader: Twenty years ago, I got into a cab at the hospital, heading for the airport. The driver was a man in his 30s who liked to talk. About every 30 seconds as he talked, he would clear his throat. It was not a gentle sound – you could have heard it several hundred yards away. Also, every few minutes his head would suddenly jerk to the right side.

He asked me what I did, and I told him I was a doctor. He asked what kind of doctor, and I said I practiced internal medicine.

He asked what that meant, and I replied that I took care of adults, made diagnoses and prescribed treatments but didn’t do surgery.

He asked: “Like what kind of diagnoses?” I replied: “Like, do you have Tourette syndrome?”

He jammed on the brakes, pulled the car to the side of the road and turned his head to look back at me. “Where were you when I needed you?” He then told me that as a child he had been placed in institutions for the “insane” because of his condition. It had taken him 20 years, and multiple doctors, before the diagnosis

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff was made -- and before he was told he was not crazy, after all.

Tourette syndrome (TS) is a disorder of the nervous system that often begins in childhood.

The major symptom is tics: sudden, brief, involuntary or semi-voluntary movements (motor tics) or sounds (vocal tics). For example, a child may blink his eyes, shrug his shoulders or grunt, bark, repeat words (sometimes foul words) or, like the cab driver, repeatedly clear his throat.

Tics usually begin around age 7. Motor tics usually come on first; vocal tics start later. Tic activity tends to peak from about age 8 to age 12. Understandably, children with TS often have feelings of embarrassment, low self-esteem and self-criticism.

Traditional psychotherapy and a different type of “talk therapy” called cognitive behavioral therapy can be effective. One technique is called habit-reversal training. The therapist teaches the person to use a specific muscle movement or behavior

to compete with the tic. Other techniques are positive reinforcement, relaxation training and self-monitoring.

Various medications can help reduce (if not eliminate) the unusual symptoms. Doctors generally first prescribe drugs with fewer side effects. Examples include a blood pressure-lowering drug, an anti-anxiety drug and an anti-seizure medication. If these drugs are not effective enough, antipsychotic drugs (even though TS is not a psychosis) may help, but may have more side effects.

Researchers are testing a treatment known as deep brain stimulation (DBS) for severe cases that don’t respond to other treatments. DBS involves surgery to place small electrodes into brain areas thought to be involved in generating TS tics.

You can help your grandson by offering your unconditional love and support. Reassure him that tics often decrease in severity through the teen years.

They may even disappear by his early 20s.

Dr. Wallace: I have become infatuated with an absolutely great guy and it gets more intense every day. The only problem is that one of my girlfriends has also got a crush on him.

This guy and I have been talking nearly every day at school, and it’s obvious that he likes me. One day I asked him if he had any romantic interest in my girlfriend and he said no, but that she was just a good friend of his.

So, now this guy has asked me out and I’m going to go out with him, but I’m worried that this might be difficult for me because I have to tell my friend that I’m going out with him. I don’t know what to say to her, but I don’t want her to find out after the date. Help!

– Nameless, Crown Point, Ind. Dear Nameless: Talk to your girlfriend face to face and tell her that you are excited that this guy has asked you out and that you have decided to go out with him. Tell her that you’ll let her know how the date went and if you think you’ll go out with him again. Finish by letting her know that she is a good friend and you know that she is happy for you.

Only time will tell how she will react. But at least she knows that you were being honest with her.

Dr. Wallace: I’m in ninth grade and, of course, I’m interested in boys. My problem is that my parents said that I’m not allowed to date until after I graduate from high school.

Their reason is that they feel it would interfere with my studies. I don’t know why they’re so worried because I’ve had straight A’s for the past four years and I would never allow my grades to slip and affect my future.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace My parents come from a culture where the parents arrange marriages and my parents never even dated at all. I could understand if they made me wait until I was 16, but to wait until I graduate is too restrictive. Please tell me what you think about this. – Nameless, Orlando, Fla. Dear Nameless: Don’t force the issue now. In two years, your mom and dad could have different ideas about dating. When you reach 16, you could ask a trusted teacher or counselor to intercede on your behalf if it’s necessary.

Dr. Wallace: I’m in seventh grade and get excellent grades. I love animals and want to be a veterinarian after I finish my education. In my social studies class, my teacher designated me as a teacher’s aide.

This means that I do errands and help in the class by sometimes grading student tests that have true or false answers. And sometimes I help with the bulletin boards after school.

I really like helping the teacher, but sometimes other kids call me names like “teacher’s pet” and even “traitor.”

What should I do? – Nameless, Riverside, Calif.

Dear Nameless: Those immature students who call you names are actually envious, and they would jump at the chance to be a teacher’s aide if they could.

Don’t answer the name callers. That’s exactly the reaction they would like.

Dear Abby: I’m a young professional female with a military background. I’m well-educated and have a great job. However, I am also tattooed. The design is a tasteful full sleeve, with some work on my chest and other arm.

I will be attending a black tie affair for my boyfriend’s company and am wondering what attire would be appropriate for such an event. I’m not ashamed of my art, and I have no issue with baring my arms, but would this be acceptable in this circumstance? – Forever Covered Dear Forever Covered: I’m glad you asked, because it depends upon what kind of company your boyfriend works for. If it’s creative, then to display your body art would not be shocking.

However, if the company culture is conservative, it might attract unwelcome attention.

HOROSCOPE

Tom Hardy on road to stardom in ‘Locke’

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – It has never been more important to get everything in writing. Many good opportunities have been lost through a lack of communication. Document everything carefully.

Keep confusion at bay and be crystal clear when conveying your needs and expectations in order to get good results.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You can find a number of useful and unique items at a flea market or online. Research the qualifications you would need to follow a path that interests you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Explore the motives of someone trying to get your personal information. Don’t reveal too much. You could be inviting trouble if you are too trusting of a casual acquaintance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You can earn a little cash by de-cluttering your home. Someone in need will appreciate the items you no longer use. If you employ your newfound gain for a good purpose, it’ll enhance your mood.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – New avenues are opening up for you. Be proud of your achievements and share your dreams. Attending cultural events will lead to a special introduction to an influential party.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Be open to practical advice offered by a recent acquaintance.

Take a good look at what you have and still want to achieve. Make a to-do list and start the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Follow your desires today. New places and people will stimulate you intellectually. Take a step outside your personal situation in order to help clear your vision. Do what’s best for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You will be at your best today, bringing added respect and greater opportunities. Your talents will be put to good use as you assume a position of leadership in your community.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t be limited by the expectations of others. Do something out of the ordinary. Making minor improvements around the home will help boost your confidence and ease your stress.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A financial upturn is just around the corner. Invest time in your ideas and plans for the future. A social engagement will bring you closer to someone you respect.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Look over your budget. Financial woes can develop if you are indulgent. Invest more time in your skills to find a way to earn more money.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your heightened emotional state will lead to personal difficulties. Keep your wits about you when dealing with domestic and family matters. Self-improvement projects will help ground you.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Your hobbies will prove to be an important clue to your destiny.

Explore careers that provide the intellectual and creative stimulation you need and that require the skills you have to offer.

By CHRISTOPHER KOMPANEK Special to The Washington Post NEW YORK – “It will be over quickly,” Steven Knight told Tom Hardy. The writer-director remembers saying that to his prospective star as a way of convincing him to take part in his experimental project, “Locke,” a film that takes place in real time as the title character makes a fateful 85-minute drive. “You’ll only feel a tiny prick,” Hardy chimes in playfully.

Knight and Hardy met for the first time in November 2012 to discuss another film, but by February of the following year, they were filming “Locke.” “Tom loves theater and challenges and mad ideas, so I went and wrote it with Tom in mind,” Knight says.

The “mad idea” was making a film consisting solely of a man fielding phone calls while driving. Save for some exterior shots, the camera would remain focused on Hardy’s face. “There’s something about phone calls where people are saying one thing but their faces are saying something else, which is such a gift,” Knight enthuses. “It makes you look clever. Just trying to imitate the surreal way that people talk and the way that they jumble everything up and then just one line of poetry and then jumble everything up again and say the opposite of what they mean.”

Hardy first caught Knight’s (and most of the country’s) attention as Eames, the quick-witted forger with a biting sense of humor in the 2010 sci-fi thriller “Inception,” which starred Leonardo DiCaprio. “I was terrified because it was Leo. You can’t battle against somebody like that for screen time,” Hardy recalls.

“I thought, I’m just going to give him whatever he needs, and it took a lot of a load off.” He learned that the more an actor gives of himself to other actors and the audience, the better he looks. He extrapolates that thought to life itself.

“The more generous a person is in any environment, the more there is to be received.”

Hardy puffs an e-cigarette as he speaks, while sporting a T-shirt that exposes his several tattoos. He also regularly flashes a boyish grin, and he draws on this duality of hard and soft to craft characters that are difficult to ignore. “There’s no particular formula or process for me. I do like to mix some ‘Taxi Driver’ with Disney World,” the

The film “Locke” is a British-American drama thriller starring Tom Hardy (pictured).

36-year-old English actor says of his process. He has particular disdain for the word “thespian,” and the idea of method acting bores him, though he is known to deeply inhabit some of his roles.

During a press junket for 2012’s “The Dark Knight Rises,” Hardy remembers slipping into his villainous character of Bane to respond to an inane question about whether he could play a character with both intellectual and thuggish qualities.

“All I can think right now, all I hear is you calling me an idiot,” he says, re-enacting the encounter in his regally British Bane accent. “I want to come across the table, grab you by the throat, and throw you through the f------ window, but I’m not going to do it, and I think that answers your question.”

It was a brilliant and sharp retort, albeit one the actor ended up apologizing for.

“That’s the thing, though, when you ask someone to have no skin and be an ambassador as well,” he says of that moment. “In acting, nothing’s sacred.

You say and think whatever, but when it comes to interviews, it’s like ‘Let’s just talk like how we should sound.’ “ Words are particularly important to Ivan Locke, Hardy’s latest character.

He’s the foreman of a building site that’s

about to receive an important concrete pour when viewers first meet him. We soon learn that he’s also dealing with an unraveling marriage.

“It is the end of the world for him, but he doesn’t have a superhero suit, and he’s [screwed],” Hardy relates. It’s clear he has a lot of empathy for Locke, whom he chose to portray with a Welsh accent to emphasize the care and calm of the words he hopes will get him through his journey. “You have to get from A to B. You have to put out a lot of fires, and you’re not allowed to lose your [mind].

You have to be really normal because this is an everyday man’s crisis.”

There’s a moment when Locke quips that he’s “waiting for Godot,” and Knight’s writing conjures the spare and existential space Becket toiled in. The film inevitably will draw comparisons to the theater because of its intimate focus, but “Locke” is uniquely cinematic.

Light figures prominently, punctuating dialogue with bright flashes and mellow hues that convey mood as it seeps into the viewer’s psyche. Knight wanted to make a film “where you could get rid of the sound and just watch it,” and he credits director of photography Haris Zambarloukos for realizing this vision. “He is a hero. He rediscovered a reflective device that hasn’t been used since the ‘50s to enhance the amount of reflection we’d get on the screen.”

The floodlights in his face forced Hardy to focus more intently on the script, which was projected on a screen in front of him. “That’s the closest I’ve ever been to a writer’s absolute word,” he says.

“Right up to the letter, to the full stops.”

Instead of feeling restricted though, Hardy (who has a background in theater and was directed by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman in Brett C. Leonard’s “The Long Red Road” at the Goodman Theatre) relished the experience and the sleight-of-hand elements that made everything come together: He was reading the script while pretending to drive a car that’s rigged to a truck, the driver of which is on the road while Hardy follows the script and takes phone calls from the other actors, who are situated in a nearby hotel room – artificial elements that meld together to produce searing realism.

Or as Hardy puts it, “No one left the script; no one left the road. No acting required.”
