I hope readers tuned into Friday’s Opinion page, as we debuted a new feature called “Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down.”

It’s something we intend to do every Friday: Look over the news of the past week and, just as the name implies, find a few items that deserve a thumbs up or down.

“Thumbs” is one of the first steps our newly created editorial board – members are Publisher Don Bricker, General Manager Bob Wall, News Editor Bob Okon, Features Editor Denise M. Baran-Unland, Marketing Manager Hannah Kohut and me – took last week.

Our board is charged with writing local editorials for our Opinion page. Part of the Shaw Media Promise is to be community advocates, and we feel the Opinion page is one way we can do that.

VIEWS Kate Schott Our initial goal is to have a few local editorials a week (including Thumbs), either written by our board or from a sister publication. When we don’t have either of those, we’ll have an “Another View,” which is an editorial from a newspaper not owned

by Shaw Media that we get from wire services we subscribe to.

If we’ve been slow to be more local on the Opinion page, it’s because several of us, myself included, are new here and we wanted to better educate ourselves on the area. While our goal is eventually to have a local editorial most days, we want to start with what we think is feasible

to accomplish.

A robust Opinion page includes many voices, and I encourage you to send in letters to the editor. Letters can be up to 300 words and need to include the writer’s full name, address and phone number. Only your name and town will be printed; the rest is for verification purposes, or if we have questions.

You can mail them to 2175 Oneida St., Joliet, IL, 60435; email them to opinions@ theherald-news.com; or visit theherald-news.com/forms to submit a letter online.

invited me to be one of the 18 people to take a shift during the event.

I’m a little giddy over being considered a celebrity, but I’m not letting it get to my head. I’ve got a soft spot for kids, and spending a few hours helping raise money to benefit local children is definitely worth my time.

I’m doing a shift from 6 to 7 p.m., but am told the event could go longer if the crowd is big enough. Come out and help make that happen.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Me, a celebrity?

First installment of property taxes due Monday

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Property owners in Will County have until Monday to pay the first installment of their annual property taxes.

“It’s not necessarily something everyone wants to do, so we try to make it as easy as we possibly can,” said Brian McDaniel, chief investment officer for the Will County Treasurer’s Office.

While online payment options are available, a majority of all payments received at the treasurer’s office still come from taxpaying agents such as mortgage escrow services or title companies, by mail or in-person at participating banks or at the treasurer’s office in downtown Joliet.

If property owners don’t want to wait in line or take time out of their work schedule, paying online is a convenient alternative, McDaniel said. Online payments can be made at anytime and until midnight Monday, he said.

“We’ve been trying to encourage that payment [method] because we know people’s lives are busy,” he said. “They could pay online over the weekend

Ways to pay property taxes n Online at www.willcountytaxbill.com: The website will accept payments from checking, Visa or MasterCard. Fees apply. n By mail: The public can mail tax payments to P.O. Box 5000, Joliet, IL 60434. Include a self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like a receipt. n At the dropbox: The office offers a secure dropbox for tax payments in the main parking lot of the Will County Building, 302 N. Chicago St. in Downtown Joliet. n At local banks: More than 100 bank branches across Will County participate in the Deputy Tax Collector Program. These banks accept cash, checks, or credit cards advances through Monday. Visit www.willcountytaxbill.com for a list of banks. n In person: The office has full-time cashiers during the tax payment season and can professionally process any accepted form of payment. The office at 302 N. Chicago St. is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Monday. when they pay all of their other bills.”

About $95 million in payments were processed online in Will County in 2010, McDaniel said. That number jumped in 2013 to $136 million, but accounted for just 8 percent of the $1.67 billion in payments received all year.

At the same time, about $654 million was collected in 2013 through taxpaying agents.

About $336 million was collected by mail, while $345 million was collected by cashiers at the treasurer’s office and $194 million was collected through banks or credit unions.

More than 100 bank branches across Will County participate in the Deputy Tax Collector Program, meaning they accept cash, checks or credit cards advances through Monday. People can visit www. willcountytaxbill.com for a list of banks. Mail postmarked by Monday will count as property taxes paid on time, he said.

Being delinquent on the payment carries consequences, he said. If the first-installment isn’t made by Monday, Illinois law imposes a 1.5 percent monthly late-payment penalty.

The second installment is due Sept. 2. The delinquent tax sale will be held Dec. 3.

Two local women celebrate milestone birthdays

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Veronica Lugan is one feisty 100-year-old.

The Joliet resident of 67 years won’t accept help for household tasks, including laundry and yard work – even from her own children. She’s opinionated and has pride in her work.

“If I can do it myself, I’ll do it myself,” Lugan said.

Lugan turned 100 on Sunday, but she’s still active, bending on her hands and knees as she works on her prized tomato garden.

Theories about the secret to a long life abound. But one thing Lugan has in common with Jean Fitzer, who turns 90 on Monday and is a regular at a Joliet gym, is that they lead active lives.

“It’s very important to keep active,” said Fitzer, who believes physical activity is important at all ages. “I say parents should start out with children when they’re babies in your arms.”

Both women have varied interests.

Lugan follows politics closely, regularly tuning in to cable talk shows and keeping up to date on current issues, including the recent veteran affairs scandal that started in Phoenix, Arizona.

“But if I sit and watch TV all day, it’s a waste of my life,” Lugan said. “I have to do something.”

“She can’t sit still,” said Shari Strappazon, Lugan’s youngest daughter.

Lugan is living on 20 percent of her heart after having a heart attack five years ago.

Also, macular degeneration took the vision in one of her eyes and her hearing is fading.

But she continues to do whatever she can do herself.

“She’s out at the garden almost all day every day,”

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Joliet resident Jean Fitzer works out at Curves in Joliet on Wednesday. Fitzer, who has been a Curves member for 14 years, will be turning 90 on Monday.

Strappazon said. “She’s always been stubborn. But I think it has really helped her.”

Strappazon remembers how her mother has always constantly moved around.

She said Lugan never smoked or drank alcohol regularly.

After the heart attack, doctors told Strappazon that Lugan could live for one more day, or six years.

“Here we are five years later,” Strappazon said. “The doctor was happy with her vital signs. He told me, ‘Don’t stop her doing what she wants to do.’ ” Lugan and her family grew up struggling to make end’s meet.

“We were the needy family on Christmas,” said Jim Lucenti, Lugan’s son.

Lugan cleaned houses for $1 a day and continued to work, sometimes 12-hour, days through her 70s. Lugan has also been an active member of the Senior Services Center of Will County and Senior Spirit.

Lugan said she’s proud of her three children, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren. She’s also proud to continue her mother’s legacy – the garden of 180 tomato plants that are descendants of seeds Lugan’s mother brought from Yugoslavia.

Now, Lugan’s goal is to

beat her doctor’s record for oldest patient, which is 103 years old.

Fitness at 90 While Lugan hit triple digits Sunday, Kendall County resident Jean Fitzer is set to turn 90 on Monday.

Fitzer can be easily mistaken for someone 20 or 30 years younger. Her secret is regular exercise at a woman’s gym.

Fourteen years ago, she joined Curves at 1007 Essington Road in Joliet.

“At first, I lost 20 pounds without a lot of effort,” Fitzer said. “Being active really helped me after my two knee

replacements.”

Fitzer is the oldest of a group of senior women who attend workouts three times a week. Curves owner Mary Tobiasz said Fitzer is an inspiration to the others.

“The ladies come in and when she’s moving around from station to station, it encourages the other women to work, too,” Tobiasz said.

“It’s exciting to finally have a 90-year-old customer here.”

As seniors grow older, the focus on exercise shifts from strength to range of motion, Tobiasz said. She sees many clients dealing with more

Getting back to native nature Forest preserve sale draws hundreds

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The gardeners have gone native.

Several hundred people attended the Will County Forest Preserve District’s native plant sale Saturday outside the Sugar Creek Administration Center. This is the second year the forest preserve has held the event, which is called “Bringing Nature Home,” after a book written by Douglas Tallamy.

“Native plants are a much better choice for birds and insects that use the area for food and nesting. That supports the natural ecosystem in developed areas better,” said Cindy Harn, Forest Preserve director of public affairs and education.

There are a variety of aesthetic choices for local gardeners who use native plants more than exotic ones, and several advantages. Native plants already are better suited to this climate and less susceptible to damage from local insects,

which means they require less overall care, Harn said.

Jo Ann Cherell, a master gardener from the University of Illinois Extension program, agrees native plants benefit the entire ecosystem. “[Gardening with] native plants reduces the use of pesticides,” Cherell noted.

Larry and Connie Kuczek do a lot of gardening in their New Lenox yard. Connie, a flower enthusiast, hasn’t worked much with native ones, but hopes to see a variety as she mixes them with her perennials.

“We’ll take out the ones that aren’t doing good this year and [use native plants to] fill up the empty spaces,” Larry Kuczek said.

Wayne and Madeline Clements bought some pots of bluejoint grass to put with other prairie plants along the back fence of their Joliet home.

“We’re hoping to attract butterflies,” Madeline Clements said. Wayne Clements also has considered putting up

Shelters: Homelessness on the rise in Joliet

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Overall homelessness is down statewide, according to an national policy advocacy organization – but local shelters in Joliet are seeing an opposite trend.

According to a 2014 report released May 27 by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, the number of people in the state who experienced homelessness between 2012 and past year decreased by about 5 percent. This follows a decrease nationally of 3.7 percent; however, 20 states reported increases in homelessness, according to the report.

Despite the positive state

and national trends, staff at MorningStar Mission and Catholic Charities Daybreak Center in Joliet are noticing more visitors at their shelters and more people needing services.

Marilyn Farmer, MorningStar Mission executive director, said it’s difficult for people on low income to find decent, affordable housing in Joliet. It’s also difficult for them to find jobs that pay health insurance, with some companies cutting back on hours so they don’t have to provide health benefits.

“When you get cut 10 hours a week, and you’re not making much and you’re hanging on the edge anyways, that just

“Based on the brutality of last winter, we had a tremendous increase in visitors at Daybreak and Shepherd’s Table ...”

Kathleen Langdon Daybreak Center development and communications director

tips you over,” she said.

Meals served at MorningStar Mission increased by 12 percent in the first quarter of this year – January through March – compared to the first quarter of 2013, she said. The

number of beds provided to people also increased by 10 percent during the same period this year, she said.

At the Daybreak Center, run by Catholic Charities, staff noticed an increase in visitors this year compared to last year, said Kathleen Langdon, the agency’s development and communications director. The center operates 24 hours a day and provides emergency housing and supportive services to the homeless.

Langdon said the increase came this year because of the extreme winter.

“Based on the brutality of last winter, we had a tremendous increase in visitors at

Daybreak and Shepherd’s Table, which is our soup kitchen,” she said.

Farmer said MorningStar Mission aids the homeless by providing them a case manager who works on finding housing and employment.

She said Joliet and Will County could benefit from having more affordable housing and better transportation, which she said can be an obstacle to employment.

Also, it seems sometimes the federal government cuts funding that affects the homeless and people with low income, she said.

“It puts more on the local social service agencies to pick up the difference,” she said.

Will County Court fee approved by Legislature

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com SPRINGFIELD – Legislation giving the Will County Board authority to impose court fees to help pay for construction of a new courthouse is headed to the governor’s desk.

House Bill 5889, sponsored by state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, passed the Illinois Senate, 46-7, on Thursday as lawmakers headed into the last days of the legislative spring session.

The fee, set by the county board, would apply to certain civil and criminal cases and could not exceed $30. The fee could potentially raise anywhere between $1.5 million and $2 million a year – a drop in the bucket compared to the overall estimated cost of $140

to $200 million.

The bill’s passage is a sigh of relief for Will County officials who still have to string together a couple of different revenue streams to make up the difference.

“Obviously, it is not enough to cover all of it, but it does offset some of the expense,” said Will County Board Member Denise Winfrey, chairwoman of the county board’s ad hoc courthouse planning committee. “It is essential to us in terms of moving forward with the courthouse project. It provides an additional revenue stream, so we don’t have to ask [taxpayers] for as much money.”

Will County officials have not decided how they plan to come up the money to fund the project, but the possibility of issuing bonds has been tossed

“We all want to be sure we have the procedure in place, so the moment [Quinn signs the bill], we’re already hitting the ground running.”

Richard Schoenstedt Will County Chief Judge around in the past.

In a news release, McGuire said the fee revenue will help

a much-needed project move forward.

“The current courthouse is overcrowded and deteriorating,” McGuire said in the news release. “We need a courthouse that’s the right size for the fourth most populous county in the state and that’s built to last.”

Will County Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said Will County officials do not have to wait for Gov. Pat Quinn’s signature to start talking about fee structures and the establishment of a fund.

The County Board will ul-

timately have to pass a resolution that authorizes the clerk’s office to collect the fee, he said.

“We all want to be sure we have the procedure in place, so the moment [Quinn signs the bill], we’re already hitting the ground running,” he said.

The user fees would be imposed on both parties in civil cases at the time of the first pleading and on defendants who plead guilty in criminal cases. It would not apply in traffic, conservation and ordinance cases when fines are paid without a court appearance.

ROMEOVILLE – A Crest Hill man was allegedly drunk when he caused a traffic crash last month that killed a 41-year-old Romeoville man.

William C. Hayes, 30, of the 1700 block of Arbor Lane, was arrested Friday and booked into the Will County Jail on 12 counts of aggravated driving under the influence, according to police Chief Mark Turvey.

Turvey said investigators received Hayes’ blood test results from the hospital and met with the Will County State’s Attorney’s office to review the case earlier that day.

At 5:15 a.m. May 19, Hayes was allegedly driving a green 2005 Dodge minivan south on Weber Road when he struck

the driver’s side of a brown 2010 Mitsubishi SUV making a left turn from Taylor Road.

Turvey said Hayes disobeyed the stoplight at the intersection.

The driver of the SUV, Don Trasmonte, was taken to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Trasmonte’s wife, who had been in the passenger seat, was extricated from the vehicle by Lockport Township firefighters.

A man who was riding with Hayes was treated for minor injuries, while Hayes initially refused treatment, according to emergency personnel.

Trasmonte’s wife has been released from the hospital and was informed earlier Friday that Hayes would be charged, Turvey said. Hayes is being held on $750,000 bond.

The semitrailer cab then collided with a 2005 Dodge Ram pickup truck, which was stopped in traffic facing north on Baseline attempting to make a left turn on Arsenal. The cab crossed the intersection and came to rest in the Joliet Army Training Center property in the southeast corner of the intersection.

The drivers of the semitrailer cab and pickup truck suffered minor injuries but refused medical treatment.

Addison resident Siefeddin Khattab, 32, was identified as the driver of the semitrailer cab. He was cited for disregarding an official traffic control device and failure to reduce speed.

ELWOOD – A Michigan man died in a Friday afternoon collision with a semitrailer cab that ran a stoplight, police said.

The collision, which involved three vehicles, was at the intersection of Baseline and Arsenal roads, Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said.

Donald W. Lundberg, 51, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident, which happened at 12:03 p.m.

“Speed definitely appears to be a factor,” Hayes said.

The cab was traveling without a trailer. Witnesses told police the semitrailer cab headed southbound on Baseline ran a red light and struck the driver’s side of Lundberg’s 2002

JOLIET – More than 100 ladies from the Joliet Area/ South Suburban Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority spent Saturday planting KISSes all over town.

By the end of the day, the group produced about 130 acts of Kindness in Service through Sisterhood (KISS) ranging from feeding the homeless to honoring police and firefighters to promoting healthy lifestyles.

It was all part of KISS 100, the group’s annual effort to provide good works through service to the community.

“It definitely makes an impact on the community,” said Cheri Harris, a chapter member who drove in from Country Club Hills to plant flowers at four Housing Authority of Joliet housing centers. “We do what we can.

We’re all about sisterhood.”

The chapter, which includes more than 400 women in the south suburbs, decided to focus its efforts this year on Joliet, the town where it was founded 40 years ago.

“With this being our 40th year, we thought we’d return to where we started from,” said Virgie Bullie, president of the JASSAC Charitable Foundation.

While Harris and the women in her group focused on planting flowers outside the Fairview Community Center, Bullie, of Oak Forest, and her team served hot dogs to children in the Rising Stars Summer School program inside. They also provided books to the children and a monetary contribution to the center.

It was a busy morning for Bullie, who started her day at 5 a.m. providing breakfast at a homeless shelter before attending the group’s opening rally at 9 a.m. at The Salvation Army Joliet Corps Com-

JOLIET – When the clutch went bad for a semitrailer driver Friday, she tried to avoid other vehicles traveling on Larkin Avenue in Joliet and ended up in a ditch, police said.

The driver suffered no injuries and no other vehicles were involved in an accident near Interstate 80 and Larkin Avenue. Authorities said the semitrailer traveled west on I-80 and then took the off-ramp to travel north on Larkin Avenue when the driver noticed the vehicle’s clutch was stuck.

To avoid other vehicles traveling northbound on Larkin Avenue, the driver said she turned the semitrailer on to a grassy area nearby but didn’t expect the maneuver would lead to the truck tipping over, Joliet Police Sgt. Javier Esqueda said.

The semitrailer was car-

Police Lt. Ed Gregory said no one was injured and the overturned cars did not contain hazardous materials.

Transportation officials estimated roadways in the area would reopen late Saturday or early Sunday, Gregory said.

Community honors Minooka grad at candlelight vigil

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD MINOOKA – In a sea of red shirts and glowing flames, friends and family of Madison Angus listened Thursday night as those who loved her shared thoughts and memories at Minooka Community High School Central Campus during a candlelight vigil.

“She was so unique, honest, loving and caring,” her little sister, Meghan, said to the crowd. “Madison was loved by everyone who laid eyes on her, even though she didn’t know that.”

The grassroots effort was put together by friends Haley McCabe, Carly Larsen, Natalie Yard, Tara Babic and Brenna Perinar, who all graduated with Angus from Minooka High School on May 18.

Angus, 18, died in a car crash Monday night. Her 2005 Pontiac G6 had been traveling west on Tryon Street when she lost control a quarter-mile north of Pawnee Lane on her way home from work.

tle sister, promised to do her best for her two younger sisters, and thanked the people for coming out.

“I look around and see people she talked about. I’m sad because she was a bad driver. I’m happy because you all came out to support us,” she said. “I will do my best for my two younger sisters. I know it wasn’t just me who lost her. We all lost her.”

Michael Sayles, Carley Deddo and Morgan Majetic decided to help the family with funeral expenses by selling red T-shirts and tank tops that say “You Had Heidi Litchfield – Me At Roll Tide” on the front, hlitchfield@ paying homage to the Universishawmedia.com ty of Alabama where Angus was to attend this fall.

“We thought it was the appropriate thing to do, to honor her and get all of her friends together,” Larsen said.

McCabe told the crowd how she first met Angus when they were in fourth grade, and Angus was the “new girl.”

“I guess fourth grade is a good place to begin. Our teacher made us take Madison under our wings,” she said. “I can’t

thank that teacher enough.”

She said Angus’ family became her family and even when she was just 9, Angus had her life planned out.

“She was an 18-year-old trapped in a 9-year-old’s body,” McCabe said. “She had plans for us to move to an apartment in Chicago.”

Potential pot dispensary up for city permit

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The City Council is scheduled to consider the first of a new type of special-use permits Tuesday: medical marijuana dispensary.

The dispensary would be at 1627 Rock Creek Blvd. in the Rock Run Business Park, near Houbolt Road and Interstate 80.

Fire Management Services needs the special-use permit in order to register with the Illinois Department of Financial Planning for a license to distribute medical marijuana. The developer has not yet selected an oper-

ator for the dispensary.

Marijuana at the facility would have a low THC content, and generally be distributed in pill, liquid or edible forms, according to Michael J. Martin, a Joliet attorney representing the developers.

Even with the special permit, there is no guarantee the state will provide certification. Under the state’s new medical marijuana laws, three dispensaries will be allowed in Will County.

Joliet City Manager Jim Hock said in May that the city so far had been approached by four cultivators and one dispenser about opening facilities.

Plainfield schools plan $5M in summer projects

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The harsh winter and the state’s common core standards is leading to higher capital construction costs this summer for Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202, district officials said.

The school board Tuesday voted to approve the district’s five-year capital plan, which includes construction and infrastructure projects.

The plan is approved each year as a tool to prepare for upgrades and major maintenance repairs.

“We are planning ahead,” Director of Community Relations Tom Hernandez said.

“And it’s one of the ways we try to honor the taxpayer and spend taxpayer money wisely.”

Capital projects for the summer total $5,075,000, about twice

as much as last year’s budget.

“The largest project is all of the facilities will have asphalt maintenance and pothole [treatment],” Director of Facilities Paul Gonzales said.

The bad winter caused damage to district roads and pavement. The district also hasn’t done major asphalt work since 2009.

Parking lots, traffic zones and crosswalks will be repainted with a uniform color scheme across all facilities. Parking lots will be painted orange to provide more visibility in the winter.

The district also plans this summer to install better wireless Internet in all of its facilities.

“All the buildings have wireless, but not to the capacity that we need,” Gonzales said, adding that the upgrade will increase capacity from five units a classroom to 30 units a classroom.

JOLIET – A Homeland Security mandate that requires U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to detain thousands of people a day costs a fortune and is holding up immigration reform, U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, said Saturday.

The mandate, known as the detention bed quota, requires ICE to detain 34,000 people each day at a cost of $159 a person, Foster said.

The bill to taxpayers runs $5.5 million a day or about $2 billion a year.

The 34,000 requirement is purely arbitrary and does not take criminal background into consideration, Foster said.

“Imagine if there was a law that required Joliet police to keep a certain number of people in lockup every day,” Foster told a packed house at the

our generation.”

Rep. Bill Foster D-Naperville Joliet Spanish Community Center.

Foster said he tried to change the law by proposing an amendment to Senate Bill HR15, the Border Security, Economic Opportunity, and Immigration Modernization Act. However, the bill remains in limbo in the Republican-controlled House, which has opted to look at immigration issues piece by piece, he said.

Foster said other less costly options to detention are available for individuals who pose no risk to society. For instance, some could be released to their families while await-

BOLINGBROOK – A Chicago man has been arrested for allegedly trying to arrange sex with a teenage girl.

Lt. Mike Rompa said Travas V. Peebles, 22, of the 4800 block of West Iowa Street, approached the girl March 19 in a parking lot in the 300 block of Woodcreek Drive and later contacted her online.

Detectives were able to identify Peebles and made contact where he believed he would “meet with a juvenile for the purpose of sexual relations,” Rompa said.

At 3:30 p.m. Thursday, Peebles arrived at a business near Schmidt Road and Lily Cache Lane and was arrested. His 1993 GMC van was

seized and he was booked into the county jail on charges of indecent solicitation of a minor, cyberstalking, juvenile prostitution, grooming a minor for sexual purposes and traveling to meet a minor for sexual purposes. He is being held in the Will County jail on $100,000 bond.

In an unrelated case, Steven G. Brooks, 35, was arrested by Bolingbrook police Friday on five counts of possession of child pornography.

Rompa said Brooks was the subject of an investigation into online child pornography by the Will County Internet Crimes Against Children Unit.

Brooks, of the 200 block of North Vincent Drive, was released Saturday afternoon after posting $50,000 bond, according to jail records.

ing immigration court hearings. Alternatives to detention cost anywhere from 70 cents to $17 a day, he said.

Foster said he plans to continue to push for a change in the requirement, which could be accomplished independently of the larger immigration issue.

“But if we are successful, we still need comprehensive immigration reform,” Foster said. “We left our immigration system to rot over 20 years until no one is happy with it.”

Foster urged his audience to press Congress and House Leader John Boehner on the issue and the need for a path to citizenship for 11 million immigrants.

About 79 percent of Illinois residents support immigration reform, he said, the highest number of any state in the country.

“Immigration reform is the moral crusade of our generation,” Foster said.

Area cops hit the roof for Special Olympics Romeoville’s first time participating

ROMEOVILLE – Customers waiting in the drive-thru at the Independence Boulevard Dunkin’ Donuts in Romeoville looked up and laughed with cops stationed on the rooftop of the coffee shop.

“Keep on smiling,” Sgt. Robert Fetzer said to a man in the drive-thru, blasting through a loudspeaker.

Fetzer joined hundreds of law enforcement officials across the state as they raised money for Special Olympics Illinois.

Police departments partnered with 174 Dunkin’ Donuts stores and Special Olympics Illinois to hold the “Cop On Rooftop” fundraising event Friday.

Each customer making a donation to the Law Enforcement Torch Run on Friday received a free doughnut coupon and some friendly banter

This was Romeoville’s first time participating in the 12-year-old fundraiser. But Dorsey projected the event to raise much more than the $750 goal. Overall, police departments in Illinois are looking to raise more than last year’s mark of $3.3 million.

The Law Enforcement Torch Run will see 23 torches passed through police departments on different legs all leading to Bloomington, which will host the state’s Special Olympics from June 14 to 21.

The Will County leg of the torch run will start on June 10 at the Bolingbrook Police Department. Bolingbrook police will hand a Special Olympic torch off to Romeoville. The torch will then go through Crest Hill, Lockport, Joliet and then down to Bloomington.

“It’s one of those things where we’re giving back,” said Debbie Schenk, leg leader for the torch run and patrol officer for the Lockport Police Department. “The Special Olympics is near and dear to our hearts.”

Dunkin’ Donuts, which has been partnering with police departments for the event the past 12 years, contributed $15,000 to the torch run this year.

U.S. Marines carry U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Steven Hancock after funeral services Friday at First Christian Church in Morris.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@ shawmedia.com

Life of Coal City Marine celebrated

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Everybody stopped.

As the funeral procession for Marine Lance Cpl. Steven Hancock made its way Friday from First Christian Church in Morris along roads in Coal City, Diamond and Wilmington, oncoming cars stopped.

It was as if time was frozen, with no thought to where they were going or what they should be doing, as they honored Hancock, who died May 19 after falling from a MV-22B Osprey during a training exercise in Lance Cpl. North Carolina. Steven Truck driv- Hancock ers, instead of rushing to get their load to its drop-off point, waited as the Patriot Guard, the hearse, the family and friends proceeded in their solemn ride.

Homeowners held vigil in their yards, holding American flags in a show of support.

Schoolchildren in Coal City left their classrooms to stand along Route 113, some with tears streaming down their face. Others, in Cub Scout and Boy Scout uniforms, held two fingers to their heads in salute for Hancock, a fellow scout.

Construction workers stood shoulder to shoulder, the flag man standing with military precision, holding a salute as mourners passed by.

The procession to Abraham

Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood followed the celebration of Steven’s life held by the family Friday morning at First Christian Church in Morris.

While friends and family filled the church, many people, some strangers, held U.S. flags outside of the church.

“It is with great sadness we are all gathered,” Pastor Greg Bolt, Hancock’s former youth minister told those gathered inside.

He said that he has great confidence that Hancock is in heaven.

“Steven was a man filled with joy,” said Kyle Wolf, current youth group leader at First Christian Church.

He said Hancock was fearless – not in a reckless way, but in a manner that meant attacking anything life handed him.

He told of a time Hancock served at a homeless shelter, and the group of volunteers he was with were chosen to play with the children there.

Despite Steven not thinking of himself as a “kid person,” he made it work.

He said that Hancock was always willing to help and mentioned how he went to Joplin, Missouri, to help with tornado cleanup.

“While Steven was not perfect, like the rest of us, his faith

made him the person he was,” Wolf said.

Steve Lutz, a board member with Christian Youth Center, told how Hancock’s service project to become an Eagle Scout brought him to CYC, where he installed a floor in the gymnasium – after raising the funds to pay for it.

“We were told it was a very ambitious project, much larger than other Eagle Scout projects,” Lutz said. “The children are blessed to have the fruits of Steven’s labor.”

Bolt, now a pastor at Toledo Christian Church, told those gathered how he first heard that Hancock was missing through a Facebook post.

“All day I was checking constantly for an update,” he said.

“Then we got the call that it was official.”

He said Hancock was always that kid who had a grin on his face, the kid with an infectious smile.

“Any time we get it out of order, it makes no sense,” he said. “A father and mother should never ever have to bury their children.”

He said we will always ask “why?” and it’s OK to ask.

“As much as we want Steven back here, he would not give up anything he is experiencing right now in heaven,” Bolt said.

As the U.S. Marine Corps men assigned duty of pall bearers approached the flag-covered casket, they gave a slow, meaningful salute, before carrying Hancock from the church.

Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) Notice of Application and Public Hearing for 401 Water Quality Certification Northern Illinois Hydropower, L.L.C. Will County Public Hearing Wednesday, July 2, 2014 401 Water Quality Certification Hearing 6:30pm Weitendorf Agricultural Center Joliet Junior College 17840 Laraway Road Joliet, Illinois 60433 The IEPA Bureau of Water has received an application for a Section 401 water quality certification (Log. No. C-0408-08). The address of the applicant is Northern Illinois Hydropower, L.L.C., 801 Oakland Avenue, Joliet, Illinois 60435.

The applicant has applied for Section 401 water quality certification for impacts associated with the construction of a new powerhouse at the Brandon Road Lock and Dam at Des Plaines River mile 286 in Will County, Illinois. The applicant is proposing to install four 2,000mm turbine/generator units in the power station.

The design will comply with requirements set forth by Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) and Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for a two inch trash rack spacing, an approach velocity of 1.5 feet per second, and a range of flows that are in excess of the first 1000 cubic feet per second (cfs) available in the Des Plaines River. The project will be operated as a “run of the river” facility and pose no effect to the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) operation of the lock and dam. The powerhouse will be controlled with an automated system that would automatically start up, run, and shut down the turbines. The automated system would allow the USACE to modify hydroelectric operations instantaneously in response to emergencies related to lock operation or flood control. All materials will be removed from the floodway at the end of the project.

The IEPA has made a tentative determination to issue the Section 401 water quality certification in accordance with 35 Illinois Administrative Code (IAC) Subtitle C (Water Pollution), the Illinois Environmental Protection Act and the federal Clean Water Act. The 401 certification process is governed by the provisions of 35 IAC Part 395, Procedures and Criteria for Certification of Applications for Federal Permits or Licenses for Discharges into Waters of the State, which can be obtained online at http://www.ipcb.state.il.us/documents/dsweb/Get/Document-12064/ Inquiries about the certification should be directed to Engineer Keith Runge, IEPA Division of Water Pollution Control, Permit Section, 1021 North Grand Avenue East, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9276, phone 217-782-3362, or e-mail keith. runge@illinois.gov. The water quality certification application is available for examination at the IEPA offices in Springfield. The public notice/fact sheet and antidegradation assessment can be viewed on the IEPA website: http://www.epa.state.il.us/public-notices/2014/northern-il-hydropower/index. pdf Requests for special needs interpreters must be made to the IEPA hearing officer

The hearing record is a file containing the hearing transcript and written comments. Written comments must be postmarked or e-mailed by midnight, August 1, 2014, when the hearing record closes (e-mails comments must be sent to epa.publichearingcom@illinois.gov and must specify Northern IL Hydropower 401 or C-0408-08 in the subject line). Email comments originating on third party systems or servers intended for submittal of multiple emails of the same or nearly the same content will not be accepted without prior approval from the hearing officer.

School community reflects on closing of Mount Assisi Academy History of Mount Assisi Academy • 1940s – School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King (Lemont Franciscans) plan for an all-girls high school to be built on their hill just east of Lemont.

• 1951 – Classes began in the convent building for young women who hoped to later become Sisters.

• May 1954 – Construction begins on the building that would become Mount Assisi Academy.

• Sept. 1955 – Students begin to use the new building.

• June 1956 – The school is dedicated by Samuel Cardinal Stritch and accredited by the state.

Enrollment steadily increases.

• 1961 – The first non-Sister (lay) faculty member begins teaching at Mount Assisi.

• 1990s – The school was separately incorporated from the Sisters, and a two-tiered structure was established, with the highest tier being the Sisters’ Council.

• 2001 – School’s enrollment begins to decrease.

• 2011 – School starts a fundraising campaign to try to stay open.

• Jan. 2014 – Mount Assisi Academy announces it will close at the end of the school year.

• Sunday, June 1, 2014

LEMONT – Staff, students and alumnae will say their official goodbye to Mount Assisi Academy during a closing ceremony Sunday.

The all-girls Catholic school run by School Sisters of St. Francis of Christ the King was founded in 1951, with the building constructed in 1954.

In January, the school announced it would be closing, citing low enrollment, an increasing budget deficit and the small number of Franciscan Sisters available to serve the school. Although administrators had mentioned possibly keeping the school open one more year for the senior class, Provincial Superior Sister Therese Ann Quigney said it was determined that wasn’t possible.

Students and alumnae were upset by the decision to close.

Quigney compares the reaction to going through stages of grief and said the girls move through it at different rates.

“Some of the girls are ready to move on,” she said. “Some are still struggling with, ‘How did they do that?’ ” Mount Assisi sophomore Katie O’Leary was one of the organizers of a candlelight vigil held in February and will be attending Queen of Peace School next year.

“I can’t say that [my feelings have] changed much,” she said. “I still feel like I’m being ripped away from my home.”

She said she thinks she was able to accomplish something by trying to keep the school open.

“I feel like it gives us some closure, knowing that we didn’t go without a fight,” she said.

Mount Assisi Principal Sister Mary Francis Werner said students spent the past couple of weeks reflecting on their time at the school.

“It has really been fabulous in the sense that the girls have been deeply appreciative of what they’ve had at Mount Assisi,” she said. “We continue to point out to them that they are not the same girls that came in

the front door.”

She said the school also has been working with the students on finding a new school for next year.

Although they are in the process of moving forward, the consensus is the experience at Mount Assisi cannot be replicated. Quigney said the Franciscan Sisters bring a simplicity and personal care that you do not find everywhere.

“What we really provided for the young ladies was a sense of home where they grew into confident women,” she said.

O’Leary said she would not be able to find another campus as beautiful.

Quigney said the Franciscan Sisters do not have a definite plan for what they will do with the building.

Google’s driverless car likely only for show Dear Mr. Berko: What do you think of Google’s driverless car? Would you recommend Google’s stock based upon its expected success? I’ve read that the car will be commercially available by 2017.

Also, my son, who is into bodybuilding, tells me about a drug made by one of the big pharmaceutical companies that quickly builds muscle strength and muscle mass.

It’s not on the market yet, but the product is available on the black market. If this is a good product, I’d like to buy stock in that company. Can you tell me the drug my son refers to and what company is making it? – DK, San Antonio Dear DK: Why in the world would anyone want to spend $247,000 to buy Google’s (GOOG-$552.70) driverless car when, for a much smaller sum, he could take the bus or a cab?

Now, I may be as wrong as the celebrated Douglas “Wrong Way” Corrigan, but the primordial delight of owning an automobile is the pleasures one gets driving the thing. And driving a driverless car is like drinking warm, flat beer or eating a steak without the taste.

It is dumb, dumb and dumber and will probably be a dud in the coming few lifetimes.

GOOG is having fun with this thing; the car generates great publicity. But it doesn’t have a rat’s chance in a cat cage to be commercially profitable. There are 47 reasons to own GOOG, but a driverless car certainly isn’t one of them.

Novartis (NVS-$90.21), a $59 billion Swiss pharmaceutical company, may have an anti-aging drug on the market in less than three years, and it looks like a blockbuster. It doesn’t have a commercial name yet,

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko but according to “my son the doctor,” who keeps up on this stuff, it is called “BYM338” and is in late-stage clinical testing for sarcopenia. Sarcopenia is the age-related degeneration of muscle mass and strength.

Most of us begin to lose about 1 percent annually after age 30. Myostatin is the naturally occurring protein in our system that regulates muscle strength, development and repair and is responsible for the loss of muscle mass as we become older. In clinical trials, BYM338 clearly blocked those areas in the body where myostatin is detected. This drug allows aging bodies to rebuild muscle mass and strengthen

musculature and helps elderly folks who have lost mobility to walk again. One of the most damaging aspects of aging is frailty, or sarcopenia, affecting 20 percent of those of us who are older than 65. It is a major factor contributing to the institutionalization of elderly family members. Apparently, BYM338 is in high demand from bodybuilders and even those seeking an anti-aging elixir for whom muscle wasting is not a problem. There’s a thriving black market for this stuff, and your boy may know more about BYM338 than most physicians.

BYM338 is also being tested for muscle wasting caused by cachexia, a chronic illness responsible for 30 percent of cancer deaths, as well as deaths from tuberculosis and heart disease. Researchers also believe the drug can be used to

treat obesity and Type 2 diabetes because larger muscle mass creates more storage area for sugar, which can accumulate in the pancreas and liver. And there’s not a single drug on the market that promotes muscle mass in diabetics. Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline and Pfizer are working on it, but NVS is years ahead of them.

Although more clinical trials are scheduled for 2015, Wall Street expects BYM338 to be available commercially by 2017.

Analysts believe BYM338 could generate annual sales in excess of $4.5 billion. So I’d be comfortable owning NVS as a splendid longterm investment.

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

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

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

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

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

Top surfer Ricky Grigg dies at 77 LOS ANGELES – Ricky Grigg, a former top-ranked big-wave surfer and oceanographer whose work confirmed one of Charles Darwin’s theories about the origin of tropical islands, has died. He was 77.

His wife, Maria, said Saturday that Grigg died of pneumonia May 21 at his home in Honolulu.

The celebrated surfing pioneer was also a marine researcher who explored undersea volcanoes and once spent 15 days submerged off the California coast in an experimental capsule called Sealab II, the Los Angeles Times reported Saturday.

Richard Wayman Grigg was born in Los Angeles and grew up in Santa Monica. As a youth he traveled the California coast in search of big waves.

In the 1960s, Grigg was the world’s top-ranked bigwave surfer. He appeared in more than a dozen surf movies and did a turn as a surfing coach for a 1964 episode of the TV drama “Dr. Kildare.”

As a surfer, Grigg was known for exuberantly raising his arms over his head at points during his ride.

Grigg had “a classic style,” Fred Hemmings, a former world champion surfer who went on to become a Hawaii state legislator, told the newspaper. “He stood erect, and his lines were long and clean. I was a half-generation behind him, and he was one of my heroes.”

As an oceanographer, much of his research centered on the atolls and submerged islands of the Hawaiian-Emperor chain, an archipelago extending nearly 4,000 nautical miles into the Pacific. At its northwest reaches, he discovered the “Darwin Point” – a latitude at which, for various reasons, the growth of coral colonies slows and the volcanic islands built upon them start to drown, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Clerks prep for state’s’ gay marriage rollout

BELLEVILLE – A few years into their relationship, Sabra Blumhorst and Chelsea Baker exchanged wedding vows, never mind the couple’s November nuptials weren’t legally recognized in Illinois. Civil unions didn’t interest the Carbondale couple, who long had hoped to have a legal marriage.

“I felt very strongly that if we can’t be married-married, I’m not going through the steps of the interim process of separate but equal,” Blumhorst, who now uses the surname of her fiveyear partner, said Wednesday. “I wanted complete equality, and we decided to wait.”

The waiting ended Sunday, when Illinois’ 102 counties began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples. Gay couples and gay-rights advocates across the state marked the date with blessing ceremonies and group weddings, and several county clerks offices made an exception and offered office hours that day for license-seekers unwilling to wait until Monday morning.

The moment is being heralded by many as another milestone in their decades-long quest for equal rights – even if the statewide rollout is a bit anticlimactic. Gov. Pat Quinn signed the gay-marriage law in November – shortly after the Blumhorst-Baker wedding, of sorts – and set June 1 as its effective date.

Lawmakers pass $1B capital bill, adjourn session

SPRINGFIELD – Almost a day ahead of deadline, the Illinois General Assembly wrapped up its spring session early Saturday after approving a $1 billion cap-

ital bill to fund road and bridge projects around the state.

Gaveling in just after midnight and out a few minutes later, lawmakers headed home to their districts with several looming issues unaddressed – a byproduct, members said, of the upcoming November election. The House adjourned Friday evening.

The capital bill was the last order of business in a relatively quiet, election-shadowed session in which majority Democrats approved a patchwork $35.7 billion budget they acknowledged puts off tough decisions. Senate Democrats signed off Friday on a budget the House approved earlier in the week, leaving until after the election a decision whether to extend the temporary hike in the state’s income tax, find other revenues or cut more than $4 billion in programs and services.

Bishop had been convicted in the death of 22-year-old Marilyn Horton and the attempted murder of his ex-girlfriend. Cook County prosecutors said Bishop shot both women at the Chicago Heights apartment he’d once shared with his former girlfriend. He’d gone there armed with a gun, saying he wanted to pick up his belongings.

The ex-girlfriend’s 9-year-old son

also was in the apartment, but was unharmed.

Ill. lawmakers OK adding animals to protected list

SPRINGFIELD – An environmental group said Illinois lawmakers have passed a “commonsense” plan to protect three more animal species slowly returning to the state.

The Senate voted unanimously on Friday to add black bears, grey wolves and mountain lions to the protected species list in the state. But the legislation warns that the animals could be killed if they threatened a landowners’ property or livestock.

Natural Resources Defense Council officials said the measure presents a smarter plan for dealing with these animals because residents can currently kill them with no questions asked.

Peoria police jail 6 in alleged heroin ring

PEORIA – Peoria police have arrested six members of what the department calls a drug-trafficking ring and seized heroin, guns and cash.

The department said in a news release Friday that the six people were arrested the previous day at five locations around Peoria on warrants alleging they engaged in drug trafficking.

Police said they seized three handguns, nearly 40 grams of heroin packaged into 199 small packets for sale and more than $7,700 in cash. They also seized four vehicles.

Investigators believe those arrested were part of a drug-trafficking ring responsible for distributing large amounts of heroin in Peoria.

STATE & NATION BRIEFS Illinois shelving $100M gift to Obama library SPRINGFIELD – A plan to offer $100 million in tax dollars to lure Barack Obama’s presidential library to Illinois is on the shelf, as lawmakers wrapped up their spring session without advancing the idea.

Democrats in the president’s home state pushed the proposal to compete against rival bids from Hawaii and New York. But it faced opposition from Republicans wary of an expensive and precedent-setting gift – with no immediately identified funding source – for a mostly private endeavor when the state faces serious financial difficulties.

Sponsors of the measure vowed to continue their advocacy, but the initiative now must wait despite a June 16 deadline for host proposals to Obama’s library commission.

Ex-mayor barred from daughter’s graduation KENNEWICK, Wash. – The former mayor of Prosser, who is a convicted low-level sex offender, has been barred from attending her daughter’s high school graduation.

The Tri-City Herald reported that a judge ruled Friday that Linda Lusk missed a deadline to appeal the school district’s decision to ban her from school properties and events.

In 2011, Lusk pleaded guilty to third-degree child molestation

for having sexual contact with a 14-year-old boy who stopped at her home to ask her to sign a petition.

The school district has a policy preventing all registered sex offenders from coming on district property or attending student activities. In order to attend school events, Lusk has to get written permission from the superintendent. Her request to attend Prosser High School’s graduation was denied in March.

Obama’s boldest move on carbon comes with perils WASHINGTON – The new pollution rule the Obama administration announces Monday will be a cornerstone of President Barack Obama’s environmental legacy and arguably the most significant U.S. environmental regulation in decades.

But it’s not one the White House wanted.

As with other issues, the regulation to limit the pollution blamed for global warming from power plants is a compromise for Obama, who again finds himself caught between his aspirations and what is politically and legally possible.

It will provoke a messy and drawn-out fight with states and companies that produce electricity, and may not be settled until the eve of the next presidential election in 2016, or beyond.

New drugs may make a dent in lung, ovarian cancer

By MARILYNN MARCHIONE The Associated Press CHICAGO – New drugs are making a dent against some hard-to-treat cancers, but some results raise fresh questions about whether the benefit is worth the cost.

For the first time in a decade, an experimental drug has extended the lives of patients with advanced lung cancer who relapsed after standard chemotherapy. But the drug used in the study gave patients just six extra weeks of life on average, and costs $6,000 per infusion as currently sold to treat a different form of cancer.

Eli Lilly and Co.’s drug, Cyramza, was discussed Saturday at a cancer conference in Chicago, where other studies showed: • The drug Imbruvica, sold by Pharmacyclics Inc. and Janssen Biotech, substantially improved survival and could set a new standard of care for relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or CLL, the most common leukemia in adults. Doctors say the pill more precisely targets cancer and is a good option for older people who can’t tolerate standard chemotherapy infusions.

• Two experimental pills from AstraZeneca PLC worked much better than one alone against ovarian cancer that resisted or came back after standard chemo.

The drugs significantly prolonged the time women lived without their disease worsening.

Lung cancer Cyramza is sold now to treat stomach cancer and fights the formation of blood vessels that feed tumors.

French researchers led a study with 1,253 patients who relapsed after initial treatment of advanced lung cancer, a more common disease.

All were given the chemo

An infusion drug to treat cancer is administered Sept. 5 to a cancer patient via intravenous drip at Duke Cancer Center in Durham, N.C. drug docetaxel and half also received Cyramza infusions every three weeks. Median overall survival was 10.5 months for those on the combo and 9 months for the others; there were significantly more side effects with the combo.

“I don’t think a six-week increment is that impressive” for survival, said Dr. Derek Raghavan, an independent expert and president of the Levine Cancer Institute at Carolinas HealthCare System in Charlotte, North Carolina. He also is on a task force on value in cancer care for the American Society of Clinical Oncology, the group hosting the conference.

Leukemia The value of another expensive drug seemed clearer, doctors said. Imbruvica won approval earlier this year for treating chronic lymphocytic leukemia based on a small study that found it delayed the time until the disease got worse.

Ohio State University’s Dr. John C. Byrd led a more definitive study in nearly 400 patients who did not respond or had a relapse after standard chemo. They were given Imbruvica or Arzerra, a

GlaxoSmithKline drug often used in such cases.

One-year survival was 90 percent for those on Imbruvica and 81 percent for those originally assigned to get Arzerra. Imbruvica also reduced the chances of the disease getting worse by 78 percent.

Ovarian cancer Ovarian cancer usually is treated with surgery and chemo but about 80 percent of patients relapse, said Dr. Joyce Liu of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.

She led a federally funded study of 90 such women to test cediranib, a drug that blocks tumor blood vessel formation, plus olaparib, part of a new class of experimental drugs called PARP inhibitors, which keep cancer cells from repairing damage to their DNA. The ovarian cancer study was the first time these two drugs had been tested together. The combo delayed by more than eight months the time it took for the disease to get worse compared to olaparib alone.

It’s too soon to know whether the combo will prolong survival; participants are still being tracked.

President Barack Obama (center) speaks Saturday with Jani Bergdahl (left) and Bob Bergdahl, the parents of U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington, after the announcement that Bowe Bergdahl has been released from captivity. Bergdahl, 28, had been held prisoner by the Taliban since June 30, 2009.

June 30, 2009. Haqqani operates in the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region and has been one of the deadliest threats to U.S. troops in the war.

The network, which the State Department designated as a foreign terrorist organization in 2012, claims allegiance to the Afghan Taliban, yet operates with some degree of autonomy.

Officials said Bergdahl was

initially taken to Bagram Air Field, the main U.S. base in Afghanistan, for medical evaluations, and was being transferred to Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, a military facility in Germany, for additional care before he returns to the United States.

The official said Bergdhal was tentatively scheduled to go to the San Antonio Military Medical Center where

he would be reunited with his family. The military was working Saturday to connect Bergdahl with his family over the telephone or by video conference.

The U.S. believes Bergdahl was held for the bulk of his captivity time in Pakistan, but officials said it was not clear when he was transported to eastern Afghanistan.

All of the officials insisted on anonymity in order to discuss details of Bergdahl’s transfer.

Bergdahl’s parents, Bob and Jani, had been in Washington on a previously scheduled visit when they received a call Saturday from Obama informing them that their son had been freed.

As they stood with Obama in the Rose Garden hours after their son’s release, Bob Bergdahl, who grew a long, thick beard to honor his son, said Bowe Bergdahl was having trouble speaking English after his rescue. The elder Bergdahl had worked to learn Pashto, the language spoken by his son’s captors, and delivered him a message in that language.

GOP carries on party legacy of Reagan for 2016

By BILL BARROW The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS – Another prominent Republican gathering, more evidence of the dueling legacies of President Ronald Reagan overhanging the party as it tries to widen its reach and avoid extending its presidential losing streak in 2016.

There’s Reagan the doctrinaire icon of modern conservatism who declared at his inauguration that “government isn’t the solution; government is the problem.” Then there’s Reagan the pragmatic president who negotiated with Democrats and other Republicans on taxes, spending and immigration, among other issues.

Both Reagans made an appearance at a national conservative summit in Louisiana,

and the divide is at the core of the GOP’s identity search that pits tea party conservatives like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Utah Sen. Mike Lee – they led a budget fight that sparked a partial government shutdown last fall – against party establishment figures who say compromise is a necessary function of government.

Cruz told Republican Leadership Conference delegates Saturday at the Republican Leadership Conference that Reagan was successful because he was unapologetically conservative.

“Y’all will remember what happened in 1980,” Cruz said.

“We saw ... millions of Americans across this country rise up and become the Reagan revolution.”

Haley Barbour, the former Republican national chairman who worked in the Rea-

Ted Cruz

Haley Barbour

gan White House, delivered a history lecture on the same stage as Cruz a day before.

“Reagan compromised on everything,” he said, adding that “purity is the enemy of victory” in politics and in governing.

Barbour cited overhauls of Social Security, taxes and immigration that Reagan signed after deals with a Democratic Congress.

He didn’t say it, but the Social Security deal raised payroll taxes on some workers.

The immigration law included provisions many Republicans now deride as “amnesty.” Oth-

er Reagan tax bills included various cuts and increases.

After leaving office, Reagan also urged Congress to adopt the Brady Bill, which eventually passed to require a waiting period for certain gun purchases and a ban on certain military-style rifles.

The law was named for a Reagan aide shot in a 1981 assassination attempt on the new president.

Cruz said Saturday: “In Texas, we define gun control real simple. That’s hittin’ what you aim at.”

The senator won the presidential straw poll at the threeday conference, an annual gathering where some White House hopefuls make their pitch to some of the party’s most conservative activists.

Delegates said they’re intent on reclaiming the White House and recognize the ne-

cessity of reaching behind the party’s most conservative core, but there’s little consensus on how to do it.

Cruz told The Associated Press after his speech that Reagan “unequivocally” would have aligned with him last year when he pushed Republicans to block budget bills in an effort to repeal President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. He conceded that Reagan signed eight deficit-spending budgets he negotiated with liberals like House Speaker Tip O’Neill of Massachusetts.

But those deals, Cruz argued, still “slowed the rate of growth.”

“The difference was he was at least fighting for it,” Cruz said. “Too many Republicans start with surrender and then are surprised when they don’t get anything.”

WASHINGTON – The only American soldier held prisoner in Afghanistan has been freed by the Taliban in exchange for the release of five Afghan detainees from the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, Obama administration officials said Saturday.

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl was handed over to U.S. special operations forces by the Taliban on Saturday evening, local time, in an area of eastern Afghanistan, near the Pakistani border. Bowe Bergdahl Officials said the exchange was not violent and the 28-year-old Bergdahl was in good condition and able to walk.

“While Bowe was gone, he was never forgotten,” President Barack Obama said in a statement from the White House Rose Garden, where he was joined by Bergdahl’s parents. “The United States of America does not ever leave our men and women in uni-

form behind.”

Bergdahl’s handover followed indirect negotiations between the U.S. and the Taliban, with the government of Qatar serving as the go-between. Qatar is taking custody of the five Afghan detainees who were held at Guantanamo.

Several dozen U.S. special operations forces, backed by multiple helicopters and surveillance aircraft, flew into Afghanistan by helicopter and made the transfer with the approximately 18 Taliban members. Officials said the commandos were on the ground for a short time before lifting off with Bergdahl.

According to a senior defense official, once Bergdahl climbed onto the noisy helicopter, he took a pen and wrote on a paper plate, the “SF?” – asking the troops if they were special operations forces.

They shouted back at him over the roar of the rotors: “Yes, we’ve been looking for you for a long time.”

Then, according to the official, Bergdahl broke down.

Bergdahl, of Hailey, Idaho, is believed to have been held by the Haqqani network since

In junta-ruled Thailand, reading is now resistance

By TODD PITMAN The Associated Press BANGKOK – In junta-ruled Thailand, the simple act of reading in public has become an act of resistance.

On Saturday evening in Bangkok, a week and a half after the army seized power in a coup, about a dozen people gathered in the middle of a busy, elevated walkway connecting several of the capital’s most luxurious shopping malls.

As pedestrians trundled past, the protesters sat down, pulled out book titles such as George Orwell’s “Nineteen Eighty-Four,” a dystopian novel about life in a totalitarian surveillance state – and began to read.

In a country where the army has vowed to crack down on anti-coup protesters demanding elections and a return to civilian rule, in a place where you can be detained for simply holding something that says “Peace Please” in the wrong part of town, the small protest was a major act of defiance – a quiet demonstration against the army’s May 22 seizure of power and the repression that has accompanied it.

“People are angry about this coup, but they can’t express it,” said a human rights activist who asked to be identified only by her nickname, Mook, for fear of being detained.

“So we were looking for an alternative way to resist, a way that is not confrontational,” she said. “And one of

those ways is reading.”

Their defiance, if you can call it that, is found in the titles they chose. Among them: “Unarmed Insurrection,” ‘’The Politics of Despotic Paternalism,” ‘’The Power of Non-Violent Means.”

The coup, Thailand’s second in eight years, deposed an elected government that had insisted for months that the nation’s fragile democracy was under attack from protesters, the courts and, finally, the army. The junta’s leader says the military had to intervene to restore order after half a year of debilitating protests that had crippled the government and triggered sporadic violence that killed 28 people and injured more than 800.

In their bid to maintain peace, the army also has made clear that it will tolerate no dissent. The junta has censored the media and issued warnings to citizens to avoid inciting conflict and antagonizing the divided country’s political rivals. The list of targets so far has been long.

At least 14 partisan TV networks have been shut down along with nearly 3,000 unlicensed community radio stations. Independent international TV channels such as CNN and BBC have been blocked along with more than 300 Web pages, including New York-based Human Rights Watch’s Thailand page.

Journalists and academics have been summoned by the army. Activists have fled the country.

OUR VIEW

Gun rights in U.S. beginning to ‘teeter-totter’ What America needs are common-sense gun-control laws that respect both sides of the argument and do whatever’s necessary to thwart preventable gun-related violence.

On May 23, a young man in an upscale California community killed six people and then committed suicide with legally bought handguns. Elliot Rodger, the gunman, left a trail of social-media explanations for why he sought revenge against those he felt had shunned him.

In the past few days, it’s become apparent that Rodgers’ previous encounters with law enforcement and mental-health officials weren’t enough to stop this unsteady young man from committing another of these all-too-common American mass murders.

The Second Amendment – regardless of your modern-day interpretation of it – doesn’t touch on one of gun control’s biggest problems: how to keep firearms out of the hands of those who shouldn’t have them because of health concerns.

This passage from Monday’s Los Angeles Times is particularly wise. “The mental health system is imperfect, by design – a teeter-totter that weighs patients’ civil liberties against public safety. Rodger existed in the middle, on the fulcrum, simmering and disturbed, just beyond arm’s reach.”

When it comes to gun violence in the United States, statistics are both helpful and confusing. Since the Sandy Hook shootings in Connecticut in December 2012, there have been at least 44 additional school shootings in America, according to gun-control advocacy groups Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America and Mayors Against Illegal Guns. Nevertheless, Bureau of Justice data released last summer show the number of gun-violence deaths dropped 39 percent between 1993 and 2011. If you want a verified statistic involving guns in America, you can find it.

Devoid of spin or political influence is this fact: guns are readily available to too many people with mental-health issues.

Databases designed to prevent the mentally ill from legally purchasing guns work well in too few states. And from the law-enforcement perspective, there’s this: Half or more of the people shot and killed each year by police have mental-health problems, according to a study from the National Sheriffs’ Association and the Treatment Advocacy Center.

America’s quest for a safer nation compels us to rethink the “teeter-totter” that’s allowing guns to legally get into the hands of the wrong people. The death toll rises, yet again.

Don T. Bricker Vice President and Publisher

A new approach to speeches A president makes a major foreign policy speech – at West Point – and the press and politicians ignore it or attack something it didn’t say. When does this happen? It didn’t happen to Eisenhower or Kennedy or Reagan or Clinton or the “war presidents.”

The partisan snark and stunning shallowness of the pundits says a lot, unfortunately, about the sorry state of journalism today. Even The Atlantic had a deeply disappointing commentary: David Frum, George W. Bush’s speechwriter, assailed Obama for not being Bush, and premises his criticisms on a series of conditional, false or unproven assumptions.

One example: President Barack Obama said, “By most measures America has

VIEWS Donna Brazile rarely been stronger relative to the rest of the world. ... Our military has no peer. The odds of direct threat against us by any nation are low, and do not come close to the dangers we faced during the Cold War.” Quiz time: In Obama’s West Point foreign policy speech, where he mentions three military measuring points, what “measures” is Obama talking about?

If you answered, “economic purchasing power,” you’d have Frum’s false-claim, straw-man double fallacy.

The so-called major media gave Obama’s major foreign

policy address afterthought attention. For instance, “NBC Nightly News” did not cover the story until 11 minutes into the broadcast. Maya Angelou’s death and the efforts to push the Veterans Affairs secretary off a cliff pushed the president’s speech deep into the program. Ah, priorities.

I urge you to read the speech in its entirety and ask yourself some critical questions. We should be having a national debate – civil and responsible – over the president’s outline for dealing with foreign problems. There will be much to question, modify and revise. But first we should be sure we are debating the president’s policy, not a partisan red herring.

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.

DON’T BUILD ILLIANA

To the Editor: The Illiana

people refer to their project as being near Wilmington when in fact it goes right through Wilmington. The O’Brian subdivision is located in the Northwest corner of Wilmington and will be separated from the rest of the city by a large and ugly four-lane tollway.

Thousands of people will be adversely impacted by this boondoggle. It will cost much more than has been reported.

They always do. The solution to this problem would be resolved by adding more lanes to existing roadways.

Years ago, as more people from our area found employment in Chicago, the two-lane I-55 and I-80 were found to be insufficient. A third lane was added to what was already there. No need to build another roadway.

We should simply extend the third lane on I-55 from a little south of I-80 farther south on I-55 to the Coal City exit. Then extend I-80 from the New Lenox exit on Route 30 west to the Minooka exit.

If Illiana becomes reality there

will be many people moving out of Wilmington. Property values will continue to decline.

Illiana will destroy acres of rich farmland.

The proposed addition of the third lane to I-55 and I-80 will require 48 miles of paved road, while the Illiana will require 188 miles – and that doesn’t include the amount needed for entrance and exit ramps at the various exchanges at Routes 55,53, 57, 70, etc. all the way to Indiana.

No need for that $90 million bridge over the Kankakee River.

Adding third lanes to I-55 and I-80 will destroy no homes, will take away zero acres of farmland and will hold Wilmington as is with no depreciation of private property or health problem to humans or animals alike due to spewed truck fumes or noise 24/7.

action.”

Yes, specifics of this policy need to be questioned. The how and when it will be applied to the shifting conditions “on the ground” deserve analysis.

(Obama himself gave some examples in his speech.)

Unfortunately, we can’t depend on Capitol Hill to provide any thoughtful analysis or critique. The likes of former Sen. Richard Lugar get ignored or scorned or ousted. Today, the official policy of the Republican Party is anti-Obama and wave the sword some more.

(Except for Rand Paul, who wants us to withdraw from the world with our head in the sand.)

During the last election, New York Times conservative columnist David Brooks commented on PBS: “The Republicans just – they can’t stop

themselves. They just start rattling sabers. They can’t do it quickly enough. They don’t want to pay for it. They don’t want to be involved in it, but, boy, they love war.”

Indeed. Witness their apoplectic reaction to the situation in Ukraine.

Some may call Obama’s approach “passive” or “dovish.” I’d say Obama’s deliberate references to two of his predecessors offer a better description. He quoted Eisenhower’s 1947 address to West Point graduates: “War is mankind’s most tragic and stupid folly; to seek or advise its deliberate provocation is a black crime against all men.”

He also referenced Kennedy’s belief that peace must be based upon “a gradual evolution in human institutions.”

There was a realism in the

speech that surely disappoints the rose-colored absolutists.

But as the president said, 21st-century wars do not end happily ever after with victory parades. There are no guarantees post-war Afghanistan will be perfect. Syria clearly does not have a military solution, even for the Syrians.

By all means, let us debate – rationally and civilly – the principles and specifics of the president’s policies. Just don’t depend on Congress or the foreign policy pundits to help. Their thinking caps are AWOL. • Donna Brazile is a senior Democratic strategist, a political commentator and contributor to CNN and ABC News, and a contributing columnist to Ms. Magazine and O, the Oprah Magazine.

Plainfield Central claims three state titles

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, June 1, 2014

40 Seneca’s Lovett becomes school’s 1st individual champion

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Plainfield Central’s boys track and field team entered Saturday’s Class 3A finals with three state championships to its credit, but because of the impressive efforts of Kahmari Montgomery and Luke Winder, they were able to double that total in one day.

Montgomery became the first District 202 athlete to win two titles at a single meet while Winder made history as the first individual from his district to repeat as a state champion.

The pair helped the Wildcats to establish new program standards for points (30) and place finish (sixth) at the competition at Eastern Illinois University.

And as if the titles by Winder and Montgomery weren’t noteworthy enough from an historical standpoint, they certainly were based on how they were captured.

Montgomery dominated in the 400-meter dash, posting a time of 46.82 seconds while Minooka’s Chris Wilson claimed second in 47.4. It was more of the same in the 200 where the Wildcat junior had a time of 21.25 while the defending state champion, Pekin’s Cole Henderson, was the runner-up in 21.35.

The only other Wildcat to claim a title on the big blue track was Charles Howell, who was the program’s first state champion in 2003.

“Last year I didn’t get to state in the 100 and made the 200 but didn’t go to the finals by a tenth of a second and that hurt,” Montgomery said. “So now that I’ve been able to beat people by a tenth of a second, it’s the best feeling in the world. I want to thank my friends, family and coaches for helping me do this. Luke was counting on me here since you knew that he would make it.

I said that I was doing it for Luke and for my grandmother upstairs.”

Shortly before Montgomery won his second event on the day, Winder was putting the finishing touches on another championship effort for himself and his family.

This was the fifth state title that the Winders had captured in the pole vault. His father, Tim, won at Woodlawn in 1979 while brother Jake took first in 2005 for Plainfield South and brother Josh was a champion for the

Seneca’s Tommy Lovett (center) clears a hurdle Saturday while competing in the Class 1A 110-meter high hurdles during the state track and field finals at Eastern Illinois University’s O’Brien Stadium in Charleston. Lovett won the race and the state title in 14.67 seconds.

Wildcats in 2008.

One of Luke Winder’s goals was to cap his career with the new state mark in the event and he did that in his first attempt at 17-3. He just missed clearing 17-7 in his final effort.

It’s safe to say that there wasn’t much drama in the pole vault. Winder’s winning effort was two feet better than the second-place finisher, Bloomington’s Steven Bradford. His 17-3 jump broke the old mark of 17-0.5 set

by Edwardsville’s Daren McDonough in 1992 and was one foot better than his winning effort from a year ago.

“People didn’t think that I’d be nervous, but I go into any meet nervous when I have to do something big,” Winder said. “This meet was more excitement for me because when I made that first bar, it was go-time for me.

Kahmari has impressed me so much and he’s an awesome teammate and competitor. We both worked together as a team in order to accomplish what we have. I have so much to be thankful for. All of the times that God has pushed me to be who I am and I’ve been able to honor and glorify him with my vaulting.”

Seneca’s Tommy Lovett capped off a fine senior season in which he also placed sixth at 182 pounds in wrestling by capturing top honors in the Class 1A 110 high hurdles.

The Irish athlete turned in a winning time of 14.67 to defeat Peoria Christian’s Josh Kirby by two-tenths

of a second for the title.

He became the first individual champion in the sport at his school. A 4x800 relay squad won Seneca’s only other title in 1990. The best showing by an individual before Saturday was F. Wehling’s second-place finish in the long jump in 1932.

“This is the best feeling in the world,” Lovett said. “To have all of these people here to watch you and to show off your talents is the greatest gift that there is. Any one of the guys could have won, it just depended on who got the best start, and I feel like I had a strong start. The biggest thing for me is that I didn’t want to let the nerves get to me. It was great to be able to represent my school since these have been the best four years of my life.”

Minooka scored 23 points and settled for 10th place in the competition which York won with 40 points. The Indians received sixth-place efforts in three different relays to compliment Wilson’s runner-up in the 400 and Shabari Bailey’s seventh in the 110 hurdles (14.73).

The Indians went with Devin Ingram, Mitch Miller, Chris Hopkins and Wilson in the 4x100 relay (42.12) while Victor Turpin and Matt Dlugopolski joined Ingram and Miller in the 4x200 relay (1:27.78). Kyle Shelton and Jake Smith ran along with Ingram and Wilson in the 4x400 relay (3:18.6).

The area had two other finishers

in the 110 hurdles, who were both also in the 3A race. Lincoln-Way East’s Austin Corydon was sixth (14.57) and Lockport’s Cody Andrus finished eighth (14.95). Corydon also claimed sixth place last year.

Beside Winder, another area athlete, earned a medal in the pole vault.

Providence’s Andy Jatis turned in a jump of 14-9 to claim third-place honors in that event.

Joliet Central picked up three medals from a pair of athletes in the throws. In the discus, Ryan Connor was sixth (162-2) while Favio Nunez took eighth (161-11) to place for the second year in a row. Connor also claimed eighth place in the shot put (54-6.5).

Plainfield North had one individual medal in its history but picked up a pair Saturday. Manny Bofah, who missed a medal in the high jump by one spot a year ago, took seventh in that event with a 6-7 jump. Also, Annile Williams claimed eighth place in the 300 hurdles (39.35).

Romeoville’s Curshaun Pruitt earned all-state honors in the triple jump when he took seventh place with a 45-0.75 effort.

Dwight claimed sixth in the 1A 4x800 relay (8:10.73) with Mitch Fransen, Nathan Ruffatti, Blaine Livingston and Michael Bennett. The Trojans had the same finish in the 4x400 relay (3:27.42) with Conor Livingston joining all those on the other relay except for Ruffatti.

• Sunday, June 1, 2014

JOLIET – Who were those imposters who showed up wearing Joliet West uniforms?

Only kidding, of course.

But the Tigers, offensively challenged much of the season, were a different bunch Saturday as they sprayed 16 hits around the Plainfield South diamond in dominating No. 1 regional seed Minooka, 13-2, in six innings in the Class 4A Plainfield South Regional final.

“This was by far my best offensive game,” said No. 9 hitter Robert Talarico, who went 4 for 4, including two doubles, scored three times and drove in two to help lead the charge to a Joliet Township school’s first regional crown since 2006.

“We had 16 hits? That’s more than we usually get in four games,” smiled winning pitcher Zach Thomas, a senior left-hander who allowed three hits, none after the second inning, and went 3 for 5, while driving in three runs.

Talarico, a junior lefthander, pitched a beauty of a game Thursday afternoon as No. 2 West beat Bradley, 4-1, in the semifinals. He is scheduled to start Wednesday’s 6 p.m.

Class 4A Illinois Wesleyan University Sectional semifinal in Bloomington against Moline.

Leadoff man Cody Grosse chipped in three hits and drove in two for West (22-13).

Chad Benadvidez singled home the first run, doubled and walked twice. Everyone in the Tigers’ lineup reached base at least once.

Sophomore Joe Butler started for Minooka and exit-

“Our lineup did a flip-flop,” Thomas said. “Cody and I got a chance to drive in runs.”

Karczewski said the coaching staff has been preaching the mental side of the game all season, “and I think it was about Wednesday when they finally got it. We’ve been keeping it in the can, waiting for this time to break it out.”

After Benadvidez’s twoout RBI single got the scoring started in the first, Poch walked and Talarico doubled to open the second. Grosse and Thomas then delivered run-producing singles to make it 3-0.

Minooka scored its runs in the second on singles by Tyler Paulsen and Mitch Vogrin and run-scoring ground balls by Kenny Walsh and Kevin Null.

But from the third inning on, the Indians had only two baserunners, one on a walk and one on a hit batsman. Thomas finished with four strikeouts and walked two.

“In all the years I played here, I can’t recall ever pitching with an 11-run lead,” Thomas said.

“Especially against a team like that,” Talarico added.

Thomas said he did not feel he had his best stuff, but West’s offensive explosion drained the Indians.

“You’re always shocked when this happens,” Petrovic said. “You’re never ready for it even though it happens all the time.

“Maybe it’s good that we are shocked. It shows we had expectations to win, and that’s a good thing.”

If it’s any consolation, there were few teams anywhere that could have derailed the West express on this day.

Indians have Latz’s back, rally for win

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, June 1, 2014

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Lemont second baseman Nick Wisz drove in three runs to help steady lefty ace Jake Latz and lead the Indians to a 6-2 win Saturday over Lincoln-Way West for the Class 3A Joliet Catholic Regional championship.

The Indians (30-5) play Illiana Christian at 4 p.m. Thursday in a Lincoln-Way West Sectional semifinal.

The Warriors (30-7) went ahead, 2-0, in the top of the second on the first two earned runs of the season off Latz, who is headed to Louisiana State. Dan Laberry singled and Adam Knerr tripled to left-center field to score

Laberry.

Jake Robbins followed with a ground ball to Lemont shortstop Mike Wisz, who threw home to try to cut down Knerr.

The throw short-hopped catcher Mike Papierski and Knerr scored.

“It hit me hard at first and then I just pushed it to the back of my mind and said it’s no big deal we just have to have our team get us back in the game and then I would be fine from there,” Latz said.

Lemont scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth to lead 3-2. Papierski walked to lead off. Mike Wisz singled and Jake Terrazas walked to load the bases.

A wild pitch by Warriors’ left-hander Ben Francis scored

Papierski. Nick Wisz followed with a single to center to score Terrazas and Mike Wisz.

“We had a rough start in the first couple of innings,” Nick Wisz said. “Latz got hit pretty hard, but he fought back and didn’t give up any runs after that. We felt we had to pick him up because he’s been picking us up the whole year.

“The first hit I had it was a 3-1 count and he threw me a fastball down the middle. I just took it right back up at him.”

The Indians added two more runs in the bottom of the fifth. With two outs, Mike Wisz reached on an infield single. Terrazas singled, Nick Wisz followed with an RBI single and Eric Tucker singled to

score Terrazas.

“We have a never-give-up attitude,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said. “We talk about how two-out runs can put a team down. We talked about shortening up our strides and putting the ball in play and putting the pressure on them and that’s exactly what we did. We didn’t hit the ball particularly hard, but we had good, timely hitting.”

Mike Wisz drove in the sixth run in the bottom of the sixth when his single scored Danny Dowiarz.

Latz (8-0) struck out 12 and didn’t allow a runner past second base after the second inning. Latz and Lemont defeated Warriors, 3-0, two weeks ago.

“We put ourselves in the

driver’s seat early,” West coach Jake Zajc said. “We had some good at-bats and got ahead. We were right where we wanted to be. Obviously, up 2-0 we wanted to tack on a couple of more we had a couple of opportunities to do that, but it didn’t happen.

“When you face a pitcher like Latz, you’re looking to shorten things up and you know we saw him the first time and he was really good and he was really good today.

Seeing him once helped, but when it’s all said and done, they did a good job and put the ball in play a lot more today, and they made some plays defensively where they didn’t give us an opportunity. You have to tip your hat to them.”

STATE TENNIS ROUNDUP

Indians defeat Warriors for sectional title

Russell, Urban finish their postseason runs

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – While seniors Kelly Fritz and Kim Jerantowski hoped to join an exclusive group of Lemont athletes with three sectional titles in their careers, seniors Katie Brncich and Kendall Watson just wanted to help Lincoln-Way West win its first sectional in girls soccer.

Although the Warriors had home-field advantage for their biggest match in the program’s brief history, the Indians had recent success on their side, as well as Jerantowski and Fritz.

With Fritz directing the show from the net and halting everything that came her direction, Jerantowski was shining on the other side of the field, scoring two goals, which demonstrated why she’s one of the state’s best.

Those efforts helped the Indians claim a 2-0 victory over the Warriors on Friday in the Class 2A Lincoln-Way West Sectional title match and advanced them to Tuesday’s Normal West Supersectional against the hosts.

“Our senior class wants to get something done,” said Indians coach Rick Prangen, whose

Indians finished fourth last year, third in 2011 and second in 2009. “They got a taste of it their freshman year and again last year, and they’re trying to get back there again.”

Lemont (20-2-2) scored the only goal that it would need in the 31st minute when Jerantowski got past the defense and made a nice run downfield before coaxing keeper Audrey Pearson to challenge her before putting a short attempt into an empty net.

While West (18-6-1) had most of its best chances after the break, the Indians were the only team to get a second-half goal. That came in the 75th minute when Aleksandra Mihailovic sent a corner kick in front to Jerantowski, who responded with a textbook header.

“I feel good about how we’re playing,” Jerantowski said.

“We’ve been working all season on trying to see how far we can make it by playing our best game. I have to give them credit since they man-marked me all over the field and they deserved this just as much as we did. We want to get back to state. Kelly and I talk about it every day at practice.”

If the Indians can beat Nor-

mal West on its field in the supersectional for the second year in a row, they’ll be just two wins away from claiming the only trophy that has eluded them.

“It’s a great feeling to win another sectional,” Fritz said.

“Kim and I have been playing since we were freshmen and have always wanted to win state and this is our last chance.

Kim put her heart and soul into this game and carried us by scoring. The next game will have to be ours, not just Kim’s.

Our team is super close, not just on the field but off the field.”

While Pearson came up with big stops on efforts from Joy Drassler and Mihailovic before the break and again from Madelyn Bermele and Mihailovic in the final half, West coach Jeff Theiss put Brianna Heyer on Jerantowski and she did her best to try to limit the danger.

“This team surpassed all expectations and I couldn’t be more proud of them,” Theiss said. “The experience that we had is so valuable for this group. We’ve reached the sectional championship and now it’s time to work that much harder to get to the next round.”

West looked for the equalizer throughout the final 40 min-

utes but Fritz always seemed to be in the right spot, halting efforts from Brncich, Brianna Bembenek and Meghann Lange before the Indians sealed the deal on Jerantowski’s second goal.

“Lemont’s a good team and Kim is the cream of the crop,” Watson said. “We’ve had some tough playoff losses and what we’ve been through and some other players have really pushed us. We wanted to do more than just win a regional, we wanted to go to state. We came up short but this is going to light a fire under everyone for next season.”

The consolation for fouryear players Brncich and Watson is that most of the Warriors will be back, giving the program real optimism about what it can accomplish in the future.

“We lost some really good seniors from last year so it seemed like we were starting from scratch,” Brncich said. “But we pretty much broke every record that we thought that we wouldn’t and really improved each day and we hit our peak in our sectional final game. We’re blessed with a great coaching staff. We weren’t just a team, we became a family.”

ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Plainfield South’s Austin Russell and Lemont’s Nick Urban completed strong journeys through the consolation bracket at the boys tennis state tournament on Friday.

Both picked up victories in the fourth and fifth rounds of consolation before being ousted in the sixth round, thus finishing with 4-2 overall records at state.

Russell beat Allan Bower of Alton and Charlie McDonough of Wheaton Warrenville South in straight sets Friday before dropping a 6-4, 6-2 decision to Scott Bickel of New Trier.

Kyle Scheffers of Marian Catholic ended the tournament for Urban, 7-5, 6-1, after the Lemont junior had beaten Elisha Hougland of Hampshire, 6-4, 6-3, and Mark Wu of Glenbrook North, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3.

The other area singles player who was alive entering Friday play, Joliet Township’s sectional champion Tom Carney, lost in the consolation fourth round to Yahn Gaurit of Chicago Lane, 6-1, 6-4.

In doubles, the Lockport team of Mike Hasler and Pat Piwoni and the Joliet Catholic team of Dominic Bertino and Nate Naal also were eliminated in straight sets in the consolation fourth round.

Lincoln-Way East, which qualified the maximum two singles players and two doubles entries for state, scored 9 points to lead the area in the team standings. JCA and Lemont each scored 7, Plainfield South 6, Joliet and Lockport 4, Romeoville 3 and Plainfield Central 1.

BOLINGBROOK SECTIONAL SEMIFINAL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 2, PLAINFIELD NORTH 1 (25-22, 22-25, 25-18)

Poznanski, Wildcats get past Tigers

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Plainfield Central had beaten Southwest Prairie Conference rival Plainfield North in all three previous meetings this boys volleyball season.

When you combine that with the fact the Wildcats were playing in a sectional for the first time in school history, nerves were understandable.

“The way this went was more a case of them (Tigers) being the perceived underdogs than anything else,” Central coach Alex Hurlburt said after the Wildcats survived, 25-22, 22-25, 25-18, to advance to Tuesday’s 7 p.m.

Bolingbrook Sectional final against Edwardsville (19-11), with a trip to next weekend’s state meet at Hoffman Estates in the balance.

“We had beaten them three times, so they could come out and fight without worrying about being able to play with more stress. We were the ones that had to defend, so to speak.”

Plainfield Central’s Tom Poznanski (right) hits the ball over the hands of the Plainfield North defense at the Bolingbrook Sectional. Central won the match Friday in Bolingbrook.

Catholic in the regional final to advance to Bolingbrook.

“In both of those matches, despite what the seeds said (Central was 2 and West 3), we were the perceived underdogs,” Hurlburt said. “That’s the position North was in here.”

The night was a showdown from the get-go between two

strong senior hitters, Central’s Tom Poznanski and North’s Alex Robles. Poznanski finished with 24 kills, one block, four digs and two aces. Robles closed his career with 21 kills and 17 digs.

“It was a battle of the front rows,” North coach Kevin Vesper said. “The energy out here

was great, and they had more than us at the end.

“I envisioned [a Robles-Poznanski duel] happening, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen one quite like this. It was fun to watch. Both seniors really brought it. It was hard not to be a fan of things like that.”

North (20-11) played the second half of the season without standout hitter Doug Aremka, who tore an ACL, and Friday was without outside hitter Mitch Chapman.

“As huge as Alex (Robles) was, this was all about the team,” Vesper said. “We battled through a lot this year, and you couldn’t tell that on the floor tonight. Jacob Brniak, for one, stepped up and played a great game.”

North had a 13-8 lead in the Set 1, but a 7-1 Central surge produced a 20-18 lead. A 3-0 Wildcats run made it 24-22 before Gage Wustendfeld ended it with a kill.

The Tigers got out to a 16-11 lead in Set 2 and held off Central’s comeback to prevail 25-22 and force the winner-take-all finale. The re-energized Wildcats went on a 5-0 blitz for a 13-8 lead and never looked back.

“Our energy helped, and what also helped is we’ve been in that situation before,” Poznanski said. “We had to go three games to beat JCA the other day.

“During the match, I think we chipped away a little at their serve-receive. They were comfortable with it early, and we had to make it more uncomfortable for them.”

Wusenfeld closed with eight kills and seven digs. Noah Randall had 38 assists and Tyler Spangler three kills, a block and five digs for Central.

“Randall does a great job all the time and he did tonight getting the ball to our hot hitters,” Hurlburt said.

Shane Yeo posted 25 assists, and Chris Paige 13 digs for North.

“To their credit, they came out and took care of the ball,” Hurlburt said of the Tigers.

“They made very few errors.

They put it in play in a consistent way.”

“I want to congratulate Central,” Vesper said. “They are a great team.”

A great team that whose district rival refused to go away quietly.

SOFTBALL: CLASS 4A REGIONAL FINAL: PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 10, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 7

Wildcats rally past Cougars with seven runs in sixth inning

By SCOTT A. EHLING Shaw Media Correspondent PLAINFIELD – It’s not over until it’s over.

That’s the mantra lately for Plainfield Central softball coach Anne Campbell and her Wildcats. Trailing Plainfield South, 7-3, entering the bottom of sixth inning, the Wildcats scored seven runs on six hits while sending 12 batters to the plate Saturday en route to a 10-7 victory in the Class 4A Plainfield Central Regional title game.

Senior Tara Cannella (3 for 4, RBI) and sophomore Sammy Sabor (2 for 4, 2 doubles, 3 RBIs) led the Wildcats’ offense while freshman Brooklyn Daly got the com-

plete-game victory. Adriana Cura (2 for 3, homer, 4 RBIs) and Angela Giancarlo (3 for 4, RBI) led South.

“Our first two games against them (South) were the same way,” Campbell said. “We knew coming in they were hot hitting-wise and we would have to hit. It took us awhile to get to her [Jordan Harbacek] and then once people started getting hits, others fed off that.”

In the first inning, South’s Abbey Plutz’s singled home Giancarlo. The Wildcats answered in the bottom as Sabor doubled home Alison Mangino and Timi Tooley followed by Margarethe Egly’s single for a 3-1 lead.

“We know their tenden-

cies and what they are going to do but at the end of the day you still have to come out and play and you still have to pitch and hit,” Campbell said.

Daly took a line drive to lower right leg off the bat of South’s Ashleigh Mitts in the second, but remained in the game.

“I immediately told our second pitcher to start warming up because I didn’t know how bad it was, but it was a huge lift to the team and she’s pitching with great confidence now,” Campbell said.

“I was nervous when it happened, but I didn’t want to come out,” Daly said.

In the top of the fourth, South (19-13) regained the

lead with one swing as Cura connected on a grand slam home run to center field for a 5-3 lead. South came in riding a nine-game winning streak.

“It was bases loaded and I told her (Cura) right before the at-bat that the third pitch, fourth pitch was going to be a change-up and you just have to wait for it,” South coach Leah Carter said. “I think that might have been her sixth one this year.”

“She (Daly) didn’t lose her composure when they hit a grand slam and she was able to bounce back,” Campbell said.

South added single runs in the fifth and sixth to stake Harbacek to a 7-3 lead.

In the bottom of the sixth,

the first three hitters reached base for Central (22-13). Maria Connell’s RBI groundout and Tooley’s fielder’s choice made it 7-5. After another RBI groundout, Central tied it on Egly’s RBI single and a batter later Cannella singled home Egly for an 8-7 lead.

“I went up there just trying to shake off my last atbat, forget about it and just be able to keep us going and not stop,” Cannella said.

A South error and RBI double by Michaela Schlattman completed the Central comeback at 10-7.

“This past week we won games in the sixth and seventh innings, so they never give up on themselves,” Campbell said.

Rizzo, Hammel lead Cubs to win of Brewers The ASSOCIATED PRESS MILWAUKEE – Jason Hammel studied up on the Milwaukee Brewers. He passed a tough test Saturday.

The Cubs right-hander watched from the dugout the previous night as the Brewers pounded out 16 hits against his fellow Cubs pitchers, and he was determined not to let that happen again.

Lesson learned: Ham mel had a season-high eight strikeouts in seven strong innings, and Anthony Rizzo hit two two-run homers to lift the Cubs to an 8-0 win.

“They’re aggressive. ...

They’ve really been working the ball the other way,” Hammel said. “So, I made sure they knew that I was throw-

ing in. Today, I had a pretty good slider. I kept them off balance.”

Hammel (6-3) also hit two batters, but otherwise allowed just four hits to an opponent that came into the day with at least 10 in nine straight games.

On Saturday, Rizzo provided the offensive highlights.

Both of Rizzo’s homers came on full-count pitches and went deep to right, the second one into the second deck to give the Cubs a fourrun lead in the sixth.

The Cubs chased Brewers starter Wily Peralta (4-5) in the five-run sixth that started with a single from Hammel, who later scored on Rizzo’s homer.

“He had a couple bad pitches to Rizzo, and Rizzo

gives him trouble,” Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. “He makes mistakes to him and Rizzo does not miss them.”

The homers delighted a healthy showing of Cubs fans that made the short trip north from Chicago. They cheered and whistled their last-place team on a warm, bright afternoon that made for ideal conditions for baseball.

Padres 4, White Sox 2: At Chicago, even after spending two weeks on the disabled list, Jose Abreu easily leads the White Sox in home runs and RBIs. The Cuban rookie is set to return Monday, and manager Robin Ventura was asked whether his struggling hitters are looking ahead to the re-

turn of the cleanup man.

“I hope they’re not waiting around for that,” Ventura said Saturday after a 4-2 loss to the San Diego Padres.

“He is coming back, but you still have to play the game. They’ve been good so far of just staying focused in the moment and going through it. You get a couple of days where it just doesn’t look good,” he said.

Abreu ranks among the major league leaders with 15 homers and 42 RBIs despite missing time because of tendinitis in his left ankle.

Before the game, the White Sox got a scare when Abreu was hit by a pitch just above the left elbow during a simulated game on the field and went down in pain.

LOCKPORT – What a week it was for Dylan Rosa and the Providence baseball team.

Rosa belted a solo home run in the top of the ninth inning Saturday to give Providence a 5-4 win over Catholic League rival Brother Rice in the championship game of the Class 4A Lockport Regional along with a berth in the Andrew Sectional semifinals Thursday against Sandburg.

Rosa, the starting pitcher for the Celtics (23-14), had three hits and three RBIs, and Zach Pych added two hits.

Brent Villasenor (7-1) got the win in relief and Jake Godfrey pitched the bottom of the ninth for the save.

In Providence’s 4-2 semifinal win Wednesday over Lockport, Rosa doubled home the tying and go-ahead runs.

Richard Bryza and Kyle Strepek both homered earlier and had two hits and two RBIs for North (27-8), which meets Neuqua Valley on Wednesday in the Oswego Sectional.

Adam Zuk got the win, Garner picked up the save.

CHICAGO – No matter how this one plays out in the end, Joel Quenneville will at least appreciate the show the Blackhawks and Los Angeles have put on the Western Conference final.

For pure theater, it’s hard to match this.

A wild series between the two most recent champions will come to a close with one final act Sunday, a seventh game at the United Center to decide who will advance to the Stanley Cup fDinal.

“The quality of the hockey has been fun to watch and (it’s) been fun to be a part of it at the same time,” Quenneville, the Blackhawks’ coach, said Saturday.

The Blackhawks won a double-overtime thriller at home and took Game 6 on Friday night in Los Angeles, 4-3, to wipe out a 3-1 series deficit, sending it back to Chicago.

Now, it’s win-or-go home for both teams.

Whoever prevails will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final on Wednesday night.

The Kings, who dropped the first three games against San Jose in the opening round and went the distance with Anaheim, hope to become the first team to win three Game 7s on the way to the Stanley Cup finals.

“We’re using all our life-

Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews plays Friday against the Kings during Game 6 of the Western Conference final in Los Angeles. lines so far, and we plan on getting the job done yet again,” Los Angeles’ Justin Williams said.

If the Hawks win Sunday, it will be the second straight year they advanced after falling behind 3-1 in a series.

Last year, they dropped three of the first four against Detroit in the conference semifinals before taking Game 7 in overtime on a goal by Brent Seabrook after Niklas Hjalmarsson had one disallowed late in regulation. The Hawks went on to take out the Kings in the conference final before beating Boston for its second Stanley Cup in four years.

The Hawks looked like they were just about out of it after dropping Game 4. Instead, they jumped back into it with two thrilling victories, pushing a thrilling series to the limit.

“You can feel it’s high-level

hockey that’s played for sure,” Hjalmarsson said. “They’re a machine-like team. They bring the same effort to every single game so we just have to try to match that. I really think this series deserves a Game 7, and I think the crowd deserves it, too. And I think it’s going to be a great finish to a great finish to a great series.”

It’s coming down to one after the Hawks pulled out two nail-biters.

There was that double-overtime victory in Game 5 at home with Michal Handzus scoring the winner, and Game 6 Friday was about as tense. The Blackhawks survived thanks to a late surge after the teams traded leads in the third period, with Patrick Kane setting up Duncan Keith for the tying goal and then firing in the winner from a patch of ice near the painted Stanley Cup logo with 3:45 left.

JOLIET SLAMMERS

Slammers lose twice to Crushers SUBMITTED REPORTS AVON, Ohio – The Joliet Slammers’ skid continued Friday night with an 2-1 loss in 11 innings at Lake Erie and Saturday night with a 7-5 loss to the Crushers.

The Slammers’ only run Friday put them ahead, 1-0, in the third inning as Tre-Von Johnson doubled and scored on Marquis Riley’s groundout.

Lake Erie tied it at 1 in

the fourth and it stayed that way until the 11th, when the Crushers scored on a disputed noncall. The Slammers argued for interference on a runner coming into second to break up a potential inning-ending double play, but to no avail.

Joliet starting pitcher Jake Hermsen left in the sixth with the bases loaded and Chase Doremus recorded a strikeout to end the inning. Brett Zawacki relieved with a runner on third the next inning

and got a strikeout to end it.

Zawacki worked 21/3 scorelss innings.

The Slammers, who managed one hit from the fourth through 10th innings, put two on with nobody out in the 11th and couldn’t score. Lake Erie won it in the bottom of the 11th against reliever Ryan Connolly.

Kody McFarland took the Saturday night loss. Further details were not available at press time.

Joliet woman uses Dairy Queen to raise awareness

Know more

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Amongst the treats offered in a Naperville Dairy Queen store are chilling reminders that life isn’t always sweet: pamphlets about youth suicide prevention.

It’s the store’s owner, Karen Moloney of Joliet, way of raising awareness, reducing stigma and maybe preventing another tragedy. One of her employees, Jonathan “Dilly Bar” Kaden, was just 17 when he killed himself July 29, 2011.

To benefit two organizations with a similar mission – National Center for the Prevention of Youth Suicide and Suicide Prevention Services of America – Moloney, who is being treated for clinical depression, is hosting a charity golf outing June 23.

“I want people to know there is hope and that they shouldn’t be ashamed,” Moloney said.

“There’s more people than we know going through depression and no one wants to talk about it.”

In April 2010, Moloney, who’d owned the business for about a decade and knew the Kaden family because they were regular customers, hired Jonathan. He quickly acquired the knack for making perfect Dilly Bars – the reason for his nickname, Moloney said.

“He’d get that DQ curl on the top,” Moloney said. “He picked up everything very quickly. He was a great worker, very outgoing.”

That November, Moloney closed the Dairy Queen, as was her habit, and reopened it in February 2011. Jonathan was back on the job, but as time went on, he appeared more subdued. He took the automobile accident death of a boy in his neighborhood hard.

On July 29, Moloney had din-

ner with a friend. On the way home, another Dairy Queen employee called Moloney to tell her Jonathan died after being hit by a train.

“He’d just come back from a journalism camp at Ball State,” Moloney said. “He wanted to be a photojournalist. He was great with the camera. He worked

for the school newspaper and had done some [marketing] pictures for my shop.”

Ken Kaden of Naperville, Jonathan’s father, said his son hid his depression from the outside world. Jonathan was regularly seeing a psychologist for treatment and had decided not to see a psychiatrist for medication.

“He was getting help, but I didn’t feel it was making a lot of difference,” Ken said. “To be quite honest, he was not very forthcoming with his parents.”

But Ken Kaden also said he hopes those contemplating suicide would pause and consider the pain that act will bestow on the loved ones they leave behind.

“If existence is causing you that much pain,” he said, “then do something to make it more obvious to the people that care about you.”

Ken Kaden is using his community theater acting experiences to inform people about suicide prevention. With the permission of author Nick Hornby, Ken Kaden has adapted “A Long Way Down” for the stage, which he presents as a fundraiser for the American

Academy of Suicidology. The story centers on four people bent on suicide gathering on a London rooftop on New Year’s Eve. Moloney attended one such performance, where she met Michelle Linn-Gust – columnist for the Naperville Sun and past president for the American Association of Suicidology – and asked her how she could bring awareness to youth suicide in grassroots ways.

Linn-Gust, who lost her 17-year-old sister to suicide 21 years ago, was happy to help.

Most supporters, Linn-Gust said, are well-intentioned grieving parents; it’s unusual to receive this level of enthusiasm from a community business owner that employs youth.

Linn-Gust appreciates that Moloney started small – with the pamphlets – and then built on that success with the upcoming golf outing, a fundraiser that’s unique in the mental health world, Linn-Gust said.

“It’s just not about the passion. You need the ability to put it together,” Linn-Gust said.

“She’s reaching out to other people, too. This is going to make a big difference.”

According to information from the National Center for the Prevention of Youth Suicide, if a person expresses any of the following, get help immediately from a mental health professional, hospital or by calling 911.

• Threatens or talks of wanting to hurt or kill himself • Looks for ways to kill himself by seeking access to firearms, pills or other means • Talks or writes about death, dying or suicide, when these actions are out of the ordinary If the following signs are presents, it may signal a suicide crisis.

Call a mental health professional or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, which can help in a crisis with trained counselors around the clock and ability to connect to local services: 800-273-8255 • Feelings of hopelessness, anxiety, agitation, trouble sleeping or sleeping all the time • Expressions of having no purpose for living, no sense of purpose in life • Feelings of being trapped – like there’s no way out • Increased alcohol and/or drug use • Withdrawal from friends, family and/or community • Rage, uncontrolled anger, seeking revenge • Reckless behavior or more risky activities, seemingly without thinking • Dramatic mood changes For more information, contact the National Center for the Prevention of Youth Suicide through the American Association of Suicidology at 202237-2280 or info@suicidology.org.

Learning that Jonathan had depression took Moloney back to the fourth grade, when her mother brought Moloney to a psychologist because Moloney was an unhappy child, to the point of flunking, Moloney said.

“When I was growing up, people didn’t talk about their feelings,” Moloney said. “Sometimes people just need to be able to say, ‘I’m having an atrocious day.’ ”

Wright, a double major in global studies and studio art, studied abroad in Berlin and learned Ian Wright German.

Wright also plans to conduct research to understand how Germans relate to their landscape and how that affects their identity. This is a study similar to research he conducted in Iceland that formed the basis for his college scholar honors thesis.

Wright was one of three individuals with North Central connections to earn a Fulbright this year, a record for the college. Each winner received a fully funded oneyear appointment abroad as a cultural ambassador and English teacher.

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Think carefully at trick one

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Robert J. Sawyer, a Canadian science fiction writer, said, “General principles should not be based on exceptional cases.”

This week we are studying third hand’s finessing against his partner at trick one. The general principle is that when dummy has one honor, third hand holds a higher honor, and dummy plays low, third hand saves his honor when he can insert a nine or higher.

However, bridge still exists because of exceptional cases. Is this deal one of them?

South is in three no-trump.

West leads his fourth-highest heart. What should East do after declarer calls for dummy’s five?

After South opened one notrump, responder was right to raise to three no-trump. With a long minor, no singleton or void, enough points to think about game, but insufficient for a slam, go for the nine-trick game.

If East blindly follows the finesse-against-partner rule, he will put in his heart 10. However, South will win with his queen and run the diamond jack. East can win with his king, but declarer has 10 tricks: three spades, one heart, five diamonds and one club.

Now let’s go back to trick one.

If East tallies the high-card points, he will realize that his partner is destitute. And if he stops to survey his hand and the dummy, he will notice that his club suit is a source of three tricks. East must take the first trick with his heart ace and shift to the club king.

Whatever declarer does, he can no longer make the contract.

Whether you are declarer or a defender, take time at trick one to plan your campaign.

ADVICE Refusal to drink makes woman feel like outsider Dear Abby: I’m 20 years old.

My boyfriend and I don’t drink.

Almost every person my age does, and it’s starting to get to me. I’d love to have friends besides my boyfriend I can hang out with, but I find that I only connect with him because everyone else always wants to go out and party.

He is an introvert, so the seclusion doesn’t bother him. I, on the other hand, am greatly bothered by it.

I have always been ahead of the curve in terms of people my age. I have more in common with 30-year-olds than people in college. How can I find people my age who think the way I do? – Liz In New Jersey Dear Liz: I agree that it’s time to expand your circle of acquaintances. That’s why I’m advising you to join a gym or some other

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips physical activity group and start meeting people who are involved in physical fitness. None of the ones I know want to spend their time drinking and partying because they are more interested in eating and living healthfully. I’m sure if you try it, you will meet others who think the way you do.

Dear Abby: I am 15, and all of my friends my age and a grade lower have their belly buttons pierced. I have been asking my mom for a very long time and she doesn’t have a problem with it, but my dad does. He won’t let me get it done because he doesn’t want me looking like trash at this

age.

I don’t want it to impress boys; I want it for my own beauty and to look good with a cute jewel to go with my summer outfits or bathing suits. They said to ask you if you think it’s wrong to have a belly button pierced at the age of 15. – Kylie In Washington Dear Kylie: I don’t think that having a belly button pierced is a question of right or wrong. I suspect that your father’s objection – and I’m not sure I disagree with him – is that he would prefer you make an impression by attracting attention in some other way. I’m suggesting you hold off for now and have it done when you’re older – providing you haven’t changed your mind by then.

‘Prehypertension’ can develop into full-blown hypertension Dear Doctor K: My doctor says I have prehypertension. If it’s “pre,” then I don’t need to worry about it, right?

Dear Reader: Prehypertension is a blood pressure reading of 120-139/80-89 mm Hg. That’s the gray zone between normal blood pressure (below 120/80) and hypertension, or high blood pressure (above 140/90). We know that hypertension is dangerous.

It increases your risk of heart disease, stroke, kidney disease and impaired vision.

Doctors first coined the term “prehypertension” because they found evidence that having prehypertension puts you at higher than average risk for developing hypertension later on. Having prehypertension meant, at a minimum, two things. First, it was even more important for you than for the average person to make the lifestyle changes that reduced your risk of getting hypertension. Second, it meant your blood pressure needed to be measured more frequently.

Now, new studies reveal that prehypertension also poses health risks of its own. It may independently increase your risk of having a stroke. For example, researchers analyzed 19 high-quality studies that focused on the links between prehypertension and stroke. The studies included more than 750,000 people who were fol-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff lowed for 36 years. The researchers broke down the participants into two groups: • Low-range prehypertension: Blood pressure between 120/80 and 129/84.

• High-range prehypertension: Blood pressure between 130/85 and 139/89.

People with high-range prehypertension had a 95 percent higher stroke risk compared with people with normal blood pressure. Those in the low range had a 44 percent higher stroke risk.

This study only adds to the evidence that we should take prehypertension seriously. How seriously? So far, doctors don’t recommend that people with prehypertension take medications. Blood pressure drugs lower blood pressure, but they can also cause harmful side effects. In the prehypertension range, benefits and risks seem to cancel each other out.

Instead, people with prehypertension should focus on lifestyle changes: low-salt diets, healthy weight and regular exercise. These can lower your blood pressure to the normal range without having

to take medications.

After the concept of “prehypertension” began to appear in the media, a patient of mine asked me a question. “Why do you doctors keep lowering the threshold of things I should worry about? Why do you keep dropping the level of blood pressure, or of cholesterol, that you call ‘high’? Are the drug companies pushing you to prescribe more drugs, so they make more money?”

Well, that’s an understandable concern. Of course the drug companies would like to sell more drugs. And, unfortunately, some doctor “thought leaders” are paid a lot of money by drug companies, and then talk to other doctors about the virtues of medications.

For the record, I don’t take any money from drug companies. And I have not seen scientific evidence showing a benefit from treating prehypertension with medications. But that could change as new research is published. In any event, I’ll recommend medications for something only when I think there’s solid scientific evidence that you will benefit – and that the benefit will exceed the risk.

Speed is cause of most teen crashes Dr. Wallace: ‘Our drivers’ training class was discussing behind-the-wheel safety for teens. During the discussion we debated on the No. 1 reason teens are considered “at risk” drivers. We are not sure if drug and alcohol use by teen drivers should be the prime crime or if it’s poor driving habits. Is it possible that you have information to clear up this debate? – Lauren, Baltimore, Md. Dear Lauren: According to the United States governmental reports, speed is the leading cause of fatal teen automobile crashes, surpassing teen drivers under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or refusal to wear seat belts. Nationally, speed caused more than one third of all fatal accidents involving teens last year.

Crash safety researcher, Albert King at Wayne State University, said that speed kills in three ways. First, it reduces the amount of time a driver has to react. Next, it expands the distance a vehicle needs to stop and finally it heightens the destructive energy of a crash.

Crash tests by the government for automobiles hitting solid posts and walls are done at 35 miles an hour. Doubling the speed to 70 miles per hour, the crash energy quadruples. That is why speed kills!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 years old and have two close friends. One of these friends has invited the two of us to spend the night at her house in three weeks because her parents will be on vacation and her grandparents will be taking

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace care of their place. I really want to attend the sleepover, but my mother thinks that sleepovers are for younger kids and that 14-year-olds are too old for such, as she says, “silliness.” Please give me your opinion, and hurry! – Nameless, DeKalb Dear Nameless: Several years ago a mother wrote to me about her experiences with her friends spending nights at each other’s houses when they were growing up. I’m sure her letter will help change your mother’s thoughts on sleepovers: Dr. Wallace: I want to share with you and your teen readers the wonderful experience of sleepovers with friends.

My best friend and I have been getting together for the past 45 years.

In grade school we got together to play with dolls and giggle about boys. In high school we spent the night at each other’s house working on 4-H projects and dreaming about the future.

We were in each other’s wedding, and when the kids arrived we took them and our husbands to each other’s house for “overnights” even though we lived five hours from each other.

Today we live at opposite ends of Indiana, but my friend and I still meet halfway. This friendship has enriched my life. – Mother, Griffith, Ind. • Email Dr. Robert Wallace at rwallace@ galesburg.net.

There have been updated versions of “The Parent Trap,” “The Shaggy Dog,” and “The Absent-Minded Professor.” And Disney’s animated gems “101 Dalmations” and “Alice in Wonderland” have crossed over into the realm of live-action movies.

The title character in “Maleficent” is the iconic villain who first appeared in the 1959 animated classic “Sleeping Beauty.” So here we’ve got “Sleeping Beauty” told anew, and in state-ofthe-art, visual effects-filled live action. It’s reminiscent of the story we knew as kids, but definitely goes in different directions. But it easily stands on its own as a fresh story for new generations who don’t know the original.

The film first introduces us to two kingdoms that couldn’t be any more different. One is populated by humans, the other by fairies. The two races do not have anything to do with one another. Until, that is, the ordinary young human Stefan wanders into the fairy kingdom, meets young Maleficent, who, with her big wings, curled horns, pointed ears, green eyes and bright red lips is anything but ordinary. They become friends, they grow a little older, there’s some puppy love ... but, as a narrator tells us, “It was not to be.”

Time really zips by in this film, and we soon find that the adult Maleficent (Angelina Jolie) has become her kingdom’s protector, but Stefan has gone back to his ordinary world and has become greedy as, we’re

Angelina Jolie stars as the title character in the Disney horror-fantasy film “Maleficent.” told, humans do.

In a sequence that might be too violent for the youngest of viewers, the human leader, old King Henry, leads his troops on an attack of the fairy kingdom.

But Maleficent, now a fierce warrior, swoops through the skies and calls up her own army of tree creatures to fight them off.

It’s an amazing, dizzying sequence. I won’t give away the exact results, but they lead to the nasty king, his tail tucked between his legs, later vowing that whoever kills the winged creature will someday be named king in his place.

When the adult Stefan (Sharlto Copley) hears of this, even though he and Maleficent have been apart

for some time, he returns to warn her. Well, no, he’s a human, after all, and according to all things fairy, is greedy.

He commits a treacherous act, then returns home, convincing the king that he killed her, when what he really did was break her, both physically and emotionally. She still has magical powers, but she’s a shell of her former self.

There’s some wrenching stuff going on here, but it’s buffered by the comic relief of a servant Maleficent takes on, a crow that she turns into a man named Diaval (Sam Riley) who she regularly turns back into a crow, as well as into a variety of other animals.

The story starts to

become familiar when Maleficent later learns of the birth of Aurora to King Stefan (yeah, he made the cut) and his queen. This news results in a revenge-fueled curse that Maleficent puts on the baby, involving a sleep of death from which she can only be awakened by “true love’s kiss.” Alas, in the mind of seemingly everyone in the story, there’s no such thing as true love.

The script by Linda Woolverton has a few plot holes in it, and sometimes breezes over situations that probably should have been more complicated, but that part of it is never really bothersome.

She gives some of the comic relief duties to three pixies who watch over young Aurora, and she makes it clear that the evil Stefan is going to pay dearly for his wrongdoing.

But as the story’s years keeping flying by, this is all counterbalanced with the sweet innocence emanating from the almost-16-yearold Aurora (Elle Fanning), who shows off one of the screen’s most winning smiles.

Though scary situations and images (along with absolutely gorgeous images and funny moments) continue, the film eventually turns into a study of the relationship that develops between Aurora and Maleficent.

There are some strange and unexpected twists that come across as wonderful surprises, Jolie eats up her part to just the right degree of overdoing it (glowering and all) and, not to worry, good triumphs over evil.

• “ Maleficent” is written

by Linda Woolverton; directed by Robert Stromberg; and stars Angelina Jolie, Elle Fanning, Sharlto Copley and Sam Riley. The film is rated PG.
