Fire investigators work Wednesday morning at the site of a house fire on the 9400 block of Magnolia Lane in Mokena. Two elderly people were killed in the fire, which crews were called to at 3:23 a.m., according to Frankfort fire Chief Jim Grady.

Elderly couple die in Frankfort Township fire Rescue attempt thwarted by heavy smoke

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT TOWNSHIP – An elderly couple died early Wednesday when a fire broke out in their longtime home.

Erwin Pauls, 81, and his wife, Arline, 80, died in the fire at 9400 Magnolia Lane that was so intense efforts by police to get into the house were thwarted by heavy smoke.

Kaylee Stitnizky, who lives across the street, woke up to see the house “completely in flames.”

“They [seemed] very nice.

It’s very sad,” Stitnizky said.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said two deputies were nearby when the fire was reported at 3:23 a.m. and were able to arrive before firefighters.

“They attempted to make entry at the back of the residence but were beaten back by the heavy smoke,” Kaupas said. “After the fire was extinguished, they found the couple deceased in a bedroom.”

“They attempted to make entry at the back of the residence but were beaten back by the heavy smoke. After the fire was extinguished they found the couple deceased in a bedroom.”

Ken Kaupas Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief

Frankfort fire Chief Jim Grady said fire caused heavy damage in the middle of the single-story ranch house, but is not considered suspicious.

A Mokena police officer who also went to check for victims was taken to Silver Cross Hospital, where he was treated for smoke inhalation, Grady said.

The Will County coroner’s office said the victims were pronounced dead at the scene at 4:48 a.m. Autopsies per-

formed Wednesday indicate smoke inhalation caused the Pauls’ deaths.

Stitnizky and other neighbors said Erwin Pauls recently had medical issues that limited his mobility, and the couple kept to themselves.

“He liked working in his yard up until the last couple of years,” Fred Hyser said.

Hyser said he often saw the Pauls sitting out front when he’d walk his children to a nearby playground.

“They’d always give a friendly wave and smile when they saw the kids,” he said.

Neighbors outside Wednesday morning said the Paulses had lived in their home at least 20 years.

Nicole Klaric said until recently Arline Pauls could be seen walking a small dog around the neighborhood.

“We didn’t talk much, but she’d say hello and ask how my young twins were doing as she walked by if I was outside. Except for the lawn service, they didn’t have visitors over,” Klaric said.

A new Rock Island schedule that seeks to better match train times to actual operating conditions is set to start Sunday.

In some cases, trains will depart earlier than the current schedule, so riders are urged to view the new schedule, available at www.metrarail.com, to familiarize themselves with the changes, according to a news release from Metra.

On the weekday inbound schedule, the schedules for 16 trains are being adjusted, and on the outbound schedule, the schedules of 19 trains are being adjusted.

The changes are the result of a periodic review of train schedules.

Diner embraces the past and helps its future

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – An historic Route 66 neon sign leads to what has become a destination point for tourists traveling the Mother Road route from Chicago to Santa Monica, California.

The Route 66 Diner’s windows have the iconic logo.

And after stepping inside, a table on the right of the doors holds several brochures for landmarks in and around Joliet.

“We want to keep them in the city for more than 20 minutes,” diner owner John Georgouses said. “We’re trying to stop them here in Illinois for a couple of days. It’s not only helping me, it helps other businesses in the area.”

Since the downtown diner transformed from a generic restaurant to a Route 66-themed destination in July 2012, Georgouses and his wife, Valentina, have experienced more customers, but more importantly a distinct identity tied with history and tourism.

They’ve created a tourist attraction.

“I would say, about 10 to 20 percent increase in people,” Georgouses said. “We’re getting a lot of tourists [from] overseas and from western states.”

Valentina Georgouses said anywhere from 30 to 50 out-ofstate and foreign tourists visit the diner every week. They come from the United States, China, Australia, New Zealand and Europe.

The Greek-American couple bought the diner 20 years ago. But it was hard to maintain during a time when business was moving out of downtown.

“Everything was closing down then,” John Georgouses said. “It was not enough business to support the operation.

But we stayed.”

The result was a throwback restaurant that suddenly gained retro appeal and became a stopping point for people traveling the Mother Road. And the image of the diner has become an iconic scene for many visitors.

“Many tourists stop and take photos in front of the window,” John Georgouses said. “They show the pictures to friends, on Facebook and word spreads from [word of

mouth]. That’s the most reliable way.”

Route 66 travelers may see the diner and Joliet as the “next stop after Chicago,” as Valentina Georgouses calls it. But several other distinct landmarks may pop up soon along the route.

Steve Larazza, senior planner for the Will County Land Use Department, said county officials are deep in the process of transforming the area of Will County just south of

See ROUTE 66, page 8

County officials are deep in the process of transforming the area just south of Interstate 80 stretching to Braidwood into a magnet for Route 66 visitors.

The Illinois 53 Corridor project, which began late 2012, lays out a plan to lure day-tripper tourists into a weekend stay, and visit attractions not too far off the beaten path known as Route 66, said Steve Larazza, senior planner for the Will County Land Use Department.

Larazza said more than 30 businesses and other stakeholders involved in the project will meet later this month to discuss next steps. That includes adding signage along Route 66, Interstate 80 and Interstate 57 to steer drivers toward key destinations.

The signs will bring some cohesiveness to the area, Larazza said.

The county’s land use department also is in talks with BNSF Railway and the Illinois Department of Transportation seeking approval to paint a mural on one or two railroad overpasses along Route 53 to create a gateway to the road, Larazza said.

“If you ever look at that overpass, it’s sort of gunky and grimy,” Larazza said.

“We want to replace that with something that’ll really pop.”

While the Gemini Giant in Wilmington and the PolkA-Dot Drive-In in Braidwood are fairly established as photo hot spots along Route 66, the goal is to tie other destinations into one

tourist package, he said.

Creating additional iconic Route 66-theme photo opportunities for tourists is part of the plan, he said.

New attractions also would be added. Some ideas include an observation tower for the Wilmington’s Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie and a major bike trail connecting the Kankakee River Trail, Wauponsee Glacial Trail, the I&M Canal State Trail and Centennial Trail to one another.

New trails along Route 66 would lead tourists to established attractions such as Boyd’s Quarry and the Brandon Dam and Locks.

A name for the corridor also will be decided in the coming months. Some ideas have been tossed around, including Will 66, Route 66 Prairies, Route 66 Stops and Prairies @ 66.

On Wednesday, Ginkgo Planning & Design Inc., the Orland Park-based consultant firm hired by the county in 2012 to develop a plan, presented its Illinois 53 Corridor plan in Chicago to the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning.

CMAP funded $160,000 of the $200,000 planning project by Ginkgo.

Charges may be dropped in 2008 hit-and-run case

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

“I’m devastated.”

Maria Lech

JOLIET – Prosecutors are expected Thursday to drop charges against a man who at one time confessed to the hitand-run incident that killed Melissa Lech, according to the mother of the victim.

David H. McCarthy, 30, was scheduled to stand trial later this month on charges of failing to report an accident in Lech’s 2008 death. But prosecutors on Wednesday filed a motion for an earlier hearing date, according to court records. McCarthy is now scheduled to appear in court Thursday.

Will County State’s Attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie declined to confirm prosecutors told Melissa’s mother on Wednesday they were dropping the charges.

Maria Lech said she was told the case “cannot be proved beyond a reasonable doubt.”

On the charges being dropped

“I’m devastated,” Maria Lech said.

The case went unsolved for nearly four years before McCarthy made what now may be labeled a “false confession.”

Records show a psychiatric report by Dr. Randi Zoot was submitted to the court Monday. Zoot regularly evaluates whether someone is fit to stand trial.

Although the contents of psychiatric reports are sealed, three independent sources with knowledge of the case said Zoot agrees with the defense psychiatrist that McCarthy gave a false confession to the crime.

“I was told whatever the private psychiatrist wrote [for the defense], the court psy-

chiatrist agreed with,” Maria Lech said.

Melissa Lech, 20, was found bleeding on the road in front of the Illinois Youth Center Correctional Facility in the early morning hours of Aug. 7, 2008.

On Feb. 26, 2012, McCarthy reportedly knocked on the door of Michelle Lech, Melissa’s older sister, to tell her that he thought about what happened every time the case was mentioned in the news. Michelle Lech gave McCarthy’s license plate number to Joliet police and he was arrested later that day.

Lech, a graduate of Plainfield South High School, was about to return for her junior year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she was studying political science. She had worked at the Abercrombie & Fitch and Coach stores in Oakbrook Terrace, and was a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority.

Fourth suspect turns himself in to police in May 4 bar beating

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A fourth suspect in a beating last month at a Hickory Street bar turned himself in to police Tuesday.

Jason A. Palacios, 27, of the 200 block of Robson Drive in Lockport, learned of the warrant for his arrest on two counts of aggravated battery after his three friends appeared in court Monday, according to Lt. Brian Dupuis.

While they were originally arrested May 4 on lesser charges, Robert M. Krapil, 27, of the 2800 block of Amanda Court and Daniel L. Lahey, 26, of the 2400 block of Morning Glory Lane in Crest Hill, now face felony charges of aggravated battery and mob action.

Ryan M. Elliott, 27, of the 1300 block of Cora Street, who already was charged with aggravated battery, now faces charges of mob action and

committing a hate crime, according to jail records.

Witnesses told police that about 9 p.m. May 4, the suspects came into Letys Place, 901 N. Hickory St., and began discussing pop singer Miley Cyrus before becoming belligerent to other patrons, Dupuis said.

“When a 34-year-old man came in, Krapil knocked his hat off his head and Elliott punched him in the face,” Dupuis said. Lahey allegedly joined his friends in beating the victim while Palacios “sucker-punched” a 43-yearold man.

“Elliott made statements to that victim, a Hispanic man, that resulted in a hate crime charge being filed against him as well,” Dupuis said.

Elliott also struck in the back of the head a 31-year-old woman who was trying to break up the fight, according to Dupuis.

Lewis flight team finished in top 10 for national competition

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – One of the challenges the Lewis University Flight Team had to complete for a national competition was flying a simulation only using the instruments.

Another one was completing knowledge and E6B Flight Computer tests. They also had to navigate around the Ohio State University campus and precisely land a plane.

“Landing is always a tough one,” said team co-captain Jack Mullen, a junior in aviation flight management.

The flight team recently finished in the top 10 of the National Intercollegiate Flying Association Safety and Flight Evaluation Conference (SAFECON) for the fourth consecutive year, according to a

Lewis news release.

The 2014 SAFECON competition was held May 12 to 17 at the Ohio State University Airport. The team finished 10th out of 27 other universities. That included sixth place in ground events and 18th in flight events. Southern Illinois University and University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign also joined Lewis in the top 10.

Several flight team members earned individual awards.

Joliet’s Joseph Burlas placed second for Men’s Achievement, Matthew Pall of Orland Park won the Outstanding Team Member award and Wheaton’s Alex Kwiatkowski won the Harold S. Wood Award for Excellence.

Burlas, a graduate student, also finished 69 out of 134 in aircraft recognition. Junior Kyle Meyer from Homer Glen

The 2013-14 Lewis University Flight Team finished 43 out of 135 in computer accuracy, and junior Kayan Todiwalla from Romeoville finished 5 out of 54 in ground trainer and 42 out of 81 in navigation.

Members of the flight team from Will County include Burlas, Meyer, Todiwalla, Pall and Cody Marks from Orland Park.

“We’re happy about our finish,” Pall said. “It shows a lot of

hard work and dedication.”

The team in September started practicing for individual events in the competition, Mullen said. They placed in the top three during a regional competition at Purdue University in October to qualify for nationals.

After a break, the team assembled again in January and started practicing for the na-

tional conference.

“There’s a lot of individual events, mostly for pilots,” Mullen said. “This isn’t just for aviation majors. Anyone can join.”

Pall said the team comprised of several students with different majors.

“There’s a lot of diversity on the team,” Pall said. “It definitely helped us because everyone has a specific knowledge or some sort of background for what they did.”

Mullen said the team placed eighth in last year’s competition. Many top seniors left the team after graduating, so this year’s team had a bigger learning curve.

“We had a little bit of a disadvantage,” Mullen said, adding that next year’s team won’t have that. “But we’re going to come back strong next year.”

Valentina Georgouses works the register Saturday at the Joliet Route 66 Diner. The diner has used its location on the historic highway to bring in more patrons.

‘It’s a great place for someone to have down-home, Joliet fare diner cooking’ • ROUTE 66 Continued from page 3 Joliet into a tourist magnet.

The Illinois 53 Corridor project started about 18 months ago, Larazza said, beginning with the hiring of a consultant team led by the Orland Park-based Ginkgo Planning and Design Inc. The area studied begins just south of the Route 66 Diner and stretches south toward Braidwood, he said. Larazza said both the diner and the Joliet Area Historic Museum were not included in the study area because the two locations are considered well-established compared to the more unincorporated sections of Will County along the route.

“The diner and the museum are really kind of the beginning point for the Joliet portion of Route 66 and going southward,” he said. “That’s a fantastic stopping-off point to give people some of the local history of Route 66 and a chance to get a bite to eat.”

The goal is to give the Illinois 53 corridor – which lines up with the historic Route 66 – an identity that makes it clear to those driving the route they are traveling along the Main Street of America, he said.

“Really, that’s truly one

It’s a great place for someone to have down-home, Joliet fare diner cooking,” he said. “It’s the ambiance when you go in there. It’s the vibe – old-style, not-corporate restaurant.”

While the identity of the diner changed with the name, the food remained the same.

John Georgouses said tourists, especially those foreign, are looking to visit and dine with history rather than comfort and extravagance.

“They want to come in to look at real America,” Valentina Georgouses said.

The diner offers several brochures for tourists high-

lighting places to visit along Route 66 and the state. Route 66 travelers also have the opportunity to cement their name in the historic route’s lore by signing the guest book and writing anecdotes about their visits.

The guest books have so much appeal, one tourist took the diner’s first one.

“It was that valuable,” Valentina Georgouses said.

But the guest book was replaced with a new one, and the Georgouses continue to steer customers to other attractions in Joliet.

“We just want to promote the city and the state, and Route 66.”

volunteers and foundations in addition to promotional materials. The director of finance would head human resources, informational technology and the financials of the district.

Landscaping, facilities and construction and utilities would be managed by the director of parks. And the director of recreation would task athletics and field use, general programming, the equestrian center and seniors programming.

Grodsky said one of the weaknesses of the district was the synergy of job assignments.

Grodsky also gave the board a pay scale for full-time employees. Under the system, an employee could receive raises based on performance

graded by goals and expectations laid out with the supervisor in a current year.

“At least this base plan will start you off,” Grodsky said to commissioners. “This leads to evaluations, job descriptions.”

After the presentation, Director of Finance and Management Services Maureen Nugent walked the board through the budgetary goals for the next fiscal year, which could be six months as the district switches its fiscal year from July 1 to Jan. 1.

Some notable changes reflected in the budget are a doubling of legal services expenses to $70,000, new staff uniforms and boots for parks employees, a training budget of $350 per full-time employ-

ee and increased recreational programming and facility needs in anticipation of the Senior Center construction with Plainfield Township.

A finalized budget will be presented to the board for approval at the Aug. 13 meeting.

Commissioners thanked Grodsky for presenting the plan to put the district on the right track.

“Your direction really is most helpful,” vice president Janet Silosky said.

The board also voted to replace board treasurer Booth with Nugent. Commissioners kept executive assistant Wendi Calabrese as board secretary, and also retained Kavanagh, Grumley & Gorbold LLC as the district’s representative law firm.

Illiana highway ruling slowed by wildlife concerns The ASSOCIATED PRESS PORTAGE, Ind. – Federal approval for the Illiana Expressway toll road has been delayed by concerns from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service partly over how the project might impact endangered species, an Indiana Department of Transportation project manager said.

James Earl told members of the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission on Tuesday that officials have raised concerns about how the highway would affect endangered sheepnose mussel and the threatened long-eared bat, as well as its impact on the Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington.

The highway would run between Interstate 65 near Lowell in northwest Indiana and I-55 near Wilmington in Illinois, and be reserved for vehicles using electronic toll devices. It is expected to cost $1.5 billion.

Environmental groups have been talking about concerns about the highway since the first draft environmental impact study was in 2012, Andrew Armstrong, a staff attorney with the Environmental Law & Policy Center that has filed two lawsuits trying to stop the

highway, told The Times of Munster.

John Greuling, President and CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development, said his main concern is how private investors interested in partnering with the state for the Illiana project will see this delay.

“A delay is a delay. My biggest concern is that if the environmental review is not totally completed to the satisfaction to the various environmental agencies, it would definitely impact the private funding partners that are taking a serious look at participating in the project,” he said. “This is a hurdle. It’s not something to celebrate in my perspective.”

Greuling said he is concerned that months-long studies done by the transportation departments of both states will become obsolete if the environmental lawsuits go on too long.

“Studies have a shelf-life. At some point in time, an elongated lawsuit or a hesitation for a public or private partner to move forward could impact the project, because the data they collected they used for the design or purpose could become outdated. And that’s a problem,” he said.

Still, Greuling said the re-

view is “not terminal,” and remains optimistic.

Federal approval is now expected near the end of summer.

The decision was originally expected by the end of May. “I think this doesn’t take us too off-course,” he said.

PLAINFIELD – Interim Executive Director Richard Grodsky Wednesday presented to the Plainfield Township Park District Board his reorganization plan that addresses the work climate and employee feedback.

“This is an effort to become predictable and gain trust with the public and the organization,” Grodsky said to the board.

That trust has been fractured because of decisions stemming from ill-advised hires by the board in the past year. The park district has been mired in public criticism because of the actions of former executive director

Garrett Peck.

Several members of the public have also called for the board to recommend firing director of communications Doug Booth.

The presentation outlined key areas of improvement and goals the park district should strive toward, and a new organizational chart that Grodsky said could become a guide for the next executive director.

The organizational chart puts citizens at the top, followed by the board, the executive director and four departmental directors.

The departmental directors include communications, finance, recreation and parks.

The communications department would be in charge of marketing, sponsorships,

Old Canal Days returns to Lockport If you go

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Beginning Thursday and through the rest of the weekend will be a signature Lockport festival that aims to put the city on the map.

For the return of this year’s long-standing Old Canal Days festival, visitors can expect free tours of the Hydraulic Power House on the shipping canal, a carnival at the south public landing parking lot for four days, musical acts and tours on the history of Lock-

port.

It’s a festival city officials have said has been marketed locally, but now aims to attract visitors from throughout the Chicago-area region. The

city is running the festival this year to make it possible for other local organizations and residents to participate in it.

For Saturday only, the festival will offer free tours of the Hydraulic Power House on the Sanitary and Ship Canal.

It’s something the festival has never offered before and those involved in the weekend celebration expect it to be a big hit, said Jodi Herman, an organizer for the festival.

“It’s part of the history of the canal and in our community the mayor thought it would

Mokena church offers ‘golden’ flea market If you go

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com MOKENA – A Mokena church’s flea market promises to be golden this year.

The 50th annual flea market – headed by Marley Community Church in Mokena – will bring more than 90 dealers to sell everything from vintage jewelry to old vinyl records.

Visitors who come by can shop for antiques or vintage items and other products while enjoying homemade food available for sale during the event, which gets bigger every year.

The flea market is scheduled for 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 21 at the park next to the Marley Community Church.

Barb Curtiss, member of the church’s historical committee, said many people come to the flea market because of the antique flair of the items sold and the white elephant items, or items people no longer need.

n What: 50th annual flea market at Marley Community Church n When: 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. June 21 n Where: Park next to the Marley Community Church n Know more: For information on the flea market, call 815-4858587 or visit marleychurch.org.

“I think consistency is maybe what they come for because they know exactly what they’re going to get when they come,” she said.

Curtiss has helped put the flea market together for about six years and this year the organizers are trying to emphasize that it’s the 50th annual year by advertising the event more. The flea market began when several church members decided to use the park space next door to hold a yard sale and soon they were leasing

spots to outside vendors, she said.

“It went beyond the people in the church,” she said.

The flea market is held rain or shine. Janet Balhan, another historical committee member, said she remembers in the 1960s the event being held even when a tornado threatened to disrupt it.

She said the flea market always has quality products for sale, such as jewelry and photographs. Also sold are 8-track tapes, VCRs, VHS tapes, linens, toys, Christmas decorations and furniture.

“I think this year I’m just going to go around and take pictures,” she said.

All the food offered at the flea market is homemade.

Curtiss said church members make dozens of their famous pies that come in a variety of flavors. Other food offered include hot dogs, bratwursts, barbecues and brownies.

be a great activity to include in Old Canal Days,” she said.

While festival organizers are looking to attract visitors outside of Lockport, the festival will highlight the history and pride of the community.

A parade featuring local businesses, organizations and bands will kick off Friday. On Saturday and Sunday, horse and buggy tours along the canal are also planned. The festival will showcase transportation exhibits at Lincoln Landing that will feature model ships of the Titanic and San Felipe Spanish warship.

When it comes to food, the festival will have a beer and entertainment tent – along with a wine tent – set up at Central Square on Hamilton Street. Food trucks also will be in the festival.

Herman said festival organizers were contacted by the Food Network with plans to send out a production crew to film the food events.

Some of the musical acts appearing during the festival include Billy Croft and the Five Alarm Band, Heartache Tonight, Sempletons, ARRA and Serendipity.

Arts and crafts items for sale will include florals, jewelry, dolls, bird houses, sun catchers, wall hangings and much more. The festival will feature nearly 100 vendors.

Entertainment will be provided by the Kids & Company singers, W Dance Studio, the Cloggin Craze dancers of Peace Lutheran Church of New

Organizers expect about 1,000 people to come through the festival.

“It’s bringing our community and our church people together for a beautiful day in our woods,” Baird said.

Baird, who has attended the festival every year, said she is most looking forward to seeing everyone have fun.

The festival raises funds for the various ministries of the church.

In the event of rain, Old Campground Days will be held June 29 from noon until 5 p.m.

News from across the state

Illinois voters could register on Election Day

CHICAGO – Illinois voters could register to vote on Election Day, have more time to cast early ballots and not be required to bring photo identification to vote early under a plan state lawmakers have approved.

Democrats pushed the legislation on the second-to-last day of the spring session last month with the idea that it’ll improve November turnout. However, Republicans claim it is part of a larger effort to boost Democrats’ numbers at the polls.

Gov. Pat Quinn favors the plan but hasn’t signed it yet. The Chicago Democrat seeking re-election told reporters Wednesday that the Republican claims were “baloney.”

The proposal only applies to the upcoming November election. Bill sponsors say they’ll extend it beyond November if things go smoothly.

Ten states allow same-day voter registration.

Quinn signs Illinois early education law

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a plan into law that guarantees a higher percentage of state grant money be set aside for early education.

The state’s $300 million Early Education Block Grant program is geared toward children up to age 5.

Quinn signed the legislation Wednesday in Chicago. It says at least 14 percent of the money must be set aside for children up to age 3. That’s up from 11 percent.

Education officials say the state already spends about 14 percent on home visits and education centers, but now funding can’t dip below that level.

The law takes effect July 1.

Quinn also signed a bill that changes requirements for giving a yearly incentive to teachers who receive a certain certification.

Tax exemption could help Illinois tornado victims

WASHINGTON – A tax exemption that the Illinois Legislature passed following deadly tornadoes in Harrisburg in 2012 is expected to benefit the victims of last fall’s tornadoes in the city of Washington.

Tazewell County Chief Assessment

Photo provided by DeKalb County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Duehning

A black bear, seen by DeKalb County Sheriff’s Deputy Josh Duehning while on patrol, was seen Wednesday near Derby Line Road south of Genoa.

Officer Gary Twist said he anticipates Tazewell County will use the exemption in the coming years. Deadly tornadoes struck the state in November, badly damaging the county.

“Hopefully, all the citizens will be in a better position than they were 10 years ago, and we’ve got some legislators to thank for it,” Twist told the Journal Star in Peoria. “If they rebuild within the confinement of the regulations for this, they’ll be treated like they’re in the older home.”

Homeowners must meet certain criteria to claim the exemption. They include rebuilding up to 110 percent of original square footage within two years. The exemption will cover the difference between the destroyed and rebuilt home for the lifetime of ownership.

Dianna and Donald Sours were among the first in the county to apply for the Natural Disaster Homestead Exemption after receiving a letter from the Tazewell County Assessor’s Office.

“It was a nice surprise, because we didn’t realize that until we got the letter,” Dianna Sours said.

Chrysler plant operating again in Belvidere

BELVIDERE – The assembly line at the Chrysler plant in Belvidere is up and running again after being shut down when an industrial accident at an area parts supplier halted deliveries.

The Rockford Register-Star reports that operations ceased for several hours at the

plant between Tuesday afternoon and 6 a.m. Wednesday. A worker at the vehicle signaling device manufacturer Ventra was critically injured in an accident.

No further information was available about the man’s condition but Belvidere Police Chief Jan Noble says that there may be an update later Wednesday.

Clinton: Cantor opponent ‘ran against immigrants’

CHICAGO – Hillary Rodham Clinton says Majority Leader Eric Cantor “was defeated by a candidate who basically ran against immigrants.”

Clinton is in Chicago Wednesday promoting her new book.

Cantor lost a GOP primary Tuesday to tea party-backed candidate David Brat. Clinton says Brat’s argument was if Americans are unemployed, then the U.S. shouldn’t allow immigrants to work.

Clinton says the answer is to create more jobs, not to deport immigrants in the country illegally. The potential 2016 Democratic presidential candidate says many immigrants are doing jobs Americans won’t do.

Clinton calls legislation approved by the Senate that would provide a pathway to citizenship for immigrants in the U.S. illegally “a fair compromise.”

She also says she supports President Barack Obama’s draft regulations to limit carbon dioxide emissions from coal-fired power plants.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Driver pleads not guilty in Morgan crash NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. – Accident investigators are looking into what role the work commute of the driver charged in the accident that injured comedian Tracy Morgan played in the fatal crash on the New Jersey Turnpike.

Wal-Mart driver Kevin Roper, who pleaded not guilty to death by auto and assault by auto charges Wednesday, lived in Georgia, but his job was based in Delaware, NTSB spokeswoman Kelly Nantel said.

A criminal complaint alleges that the 35-year-old Roper, of Jonesboro, Georgia, hadn’t slept for more than 24 hours before the accident when he allegedly swerved to avoid slowed traffic on the turnpike and plowed into Morgan’s limo on Saturday morning.

Wal-Mart has not explained what Roper’s driving route was.

The company has said it believes he was in compliance with federal safety regulations.

Tweet self-propagates through TweetDeck NEW YORK – A tweet containing computer code has propagated itself through Twitter by taking advantage of a security flaw in the company’s TweetDeck application.

In response, Twitter shut down the application’s access to tweets for about an hour Wednesday while fixing the problem.

The tweet was automatically

“retweeted,” or sent out again, when processed by TweetDeck, a computer application for Twitter’s power users. Affected tweeters saw pop-up windows on their screens. The tweet was retweeted tens of thousands of times.

Twitter initially told TweetDeck users to log out and log back in.

When that proved ineffective, it shut down the application’s access to tweets.

It’s not the first time tweets containing JavaScript code have self-propagated through security holes in Twitter. The last major outbreak was in 2010.

Feds: NYC strippers drugged, stole from rich NEW YORK – It’s a tawdry tale of New York City strippers on the prowl for men with money, drinks spiked with illegal synthetic drugs and runaway credit card charges at topless clubs.

Some of the men say they have little or no memory of any of it.

But investigators filled in the blanks for them on Wednesday by announcing the arrests of four women – all described as professional strippers – and a club manager on charges including grand larceny, assault and forgery.

The five were accused of teaming up to rip off a combined $200,000 from a New Jersey doctor, a banker, a hedge fund executive and a real estate attorney in a credit card scam during the last four months of 2013.

WASHINGTON – Repudiated at the polls, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor announced Wednesday that he will resign his leadership post at the end of next month, clearing the way for a potentially disruptive Republican shake-up just before midterm elections with control of Congress at stake.

Cantor informed fellow Republicans of his intentions at an emotional closed-door meeting, then made his public announcement at a news conference where he appeared upbeat, all less than 24 hours after losing a primary election to David Brat, a little-known and underfunded rival backed by tea party groups.

Lawmakers in both parties said Cantor’s defeat and the prospect of a change within the Republican high command probably signal the demise of immigration legislation along the lines President Barack Obama is seeking and will also have a negative impact on the balance of his second-term agenda.

Even so, White House spokesman Josh Earnest disputed the notion that Cantor’s surprise loss crushed the prospects of House Republican leaders putting an immigration bill on the floor this year. He noted that Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., had been deeply involved in passing the Senate immigration bill and still defeated his primary opponents Tuesday night.

The outcome of Tuesday’s primary represented the biggest victory by far this year for tea party forces, and it holds

The next major showdown is a June 24 runoff between six-term Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi and his rival, state Sen. Chris McDaniel.

In the House, Republicans set leadership elections for June 19, assuring that any Capitol Hill campaigning will be brief. Speaker John Boehner issued an appeal for cohesiveness at the closed-door meeting where he praised Cantor. “This is the time for unity, the time for focus,” he said in remarks released by his office.

Even before Cantor’s announcement, jockeying had broken out among fellow Republicans eager to move up the House leadership ladder – or establish a foothold on it.

Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California, the party whip and third-ranking leader, in-

formed fellow Republicans he intended to run to succeed Cantor. Rep. Pete Sessions of Texas also made clear his interest, but fellow Texan Jeb Hensarling eyed a candidacy, as well, and the state’s delegation was working to prevent any intramural competition.

Rep. Peter Roskam of Illinois, the chief deputy whip, and Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana quickly jumped into the expected race to succeed McCarthy.

Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., and the party’s 2012 vice presidential candidate, ruled out a leadership race.

Cantor, 51, sounded like anything but a man ready to retire from politics, saying he will serve out his term and be active this fall for Republican candidates.

“What divides Republicans pales in comparison to what divides us as conservatives from the left and their Democratic” allies, he said.

Congress, FBI moving on VA health care WASHINGTON – As Congress moves to help thousands of military veterans enduring long wait times for VA medical care, the FBI revealed Wednesday that it had opened a criminal investigation into a Department of Veterans Affairs reeling from allegations of falsified records and inappropriate scheduling practices.

FBI Director James Comey told the House Judiciary Committee that the investigation was being led by the FBI’s field office in Phoenix, which he described as the “primary locus of the original allegations” being examined by the VA’s Office of Inspector General.

Hagel: time was running out to save Bergdahl WASHINGTON – Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel told lawmakers Wednesday that last month’s prisoner swap with the Taliban may have been the “last, best” chance to secure the release of Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the only U.S. soldier held captive in Afghanistan. He said mediators indicated time was slipping away to get Bergdahl out safely.

Hagel, the first Obama administration official to testify publicly about the controversial deal, told the House Armed Services Committee that Qatari officials warned in the days before the exchange that “time was not on our side” and a leak would sabotage the deal. The transfer of five detainees at the U.S. prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to Qatar was legal and advanced national interests, he added.

Republicans and some Democrats have sharply criticized the administration for not informing Congress in advance.

Families remember U.S. soldiers killed in airstrike

By SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press MOKENA – The five American troops killed in a friendly fire airstrike included an Illinois soldier who went to Afghanistan a month after his father died, an Ohio man who was engaged to be married, a California Green Beret who only deployed in January and Washington state man who loved the outdoors.

Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Kirby said the five were killed Monday “during a security operation in southern Afghanistan.” Officials said an airstrike was called in after the unit was ambushed by the Taliban. It was one of the deadliest friendly fire incidents in nearly 14 years of war.

Family representatives of Aaron Toppen of Illinois and Justin Helton of Ohio told The Associated Press that military members came to their relatives’ doors in the middle of the night to deliver the news of the deaths.

Relatives and local schools on Wednesday confirmed the deaths of Justin Clouse of Washington and Staff Sgt. Scott Studenmund of California. The other victim has not yet been identified.

Here is a look at the lives of Toppen, Helton, Studenmund and Clouse:

Aaron Toppen, 19 Family members of Toppen remembered him as a kind-hearted man who had aspired to a career in the military or law enforcement.

“Aaron was predisposed to serve. He was very keen to be in the military,” his uncle, Jack Winters said.

“He was quite Aaron proud to be Toppen there.”

Mokena It was the second death of a loved one for the family this year. Toppen was set to leave for Afghanistan in February.

But his gravely ill father died that month, and he stayed for the funeral. He deployed in

March.

Toppen was a graduate of Lincoln-Way East High in Frankfort, and loved the outdoors, especially fishing.

Family members at the home Tuesday circulated a picture of Toppen as a young child sitting next to his father in a fishing boat.

“He was something somewhat rare in youth culture today. ... In a word, I would summarize what he had as ‘class,’ ” Winters said of his nephew. “So rarely now do you see somebody like that who truly does have class, who’s polite, humble, loyal, who’s a kind-hearted soul, generous.”

Toppen was the youngest of three children.

Justin Helton, 25 Helton had been in the Army since 2010 but had been in Afghanistan for only about two months, according to cousin, Mindy Helton. It was his first deployment, and he expected to be home in about six months, she said.

She said her cousin specialized in dealing with explosives and was based out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina. She also said he was engaged. His parents live in Beaver, a twohour drive east of Cincinnati, Ohio.

“He was a great boy, so full of life and outgoing,” she said.

“He loved hunting and the outdoors.”

The 2006 graduate of Beaver’s Eastern High School was known to friends and family as Buck and was a quiet leader, Robert Day, his high school baseball coach, told WCMH-TV in Columbus.

Scott Studenmund, 24 Staff Sgt. Studenmund of Pasadena, California, was deployed to Afghanistan in January and was set to return home in August. His mother is former eHarmony CEO Jaynie Studenmund, and his father is Woody Studenmund, an economics professor at Occidental College in Los Angeles.

Scott Studenmund was a 2008 graduate of Flintridge Preparatory School in the Los Angeles foothill suburb of La

Canada Flintridge.

Studenmund was a “brave, virtuous patriot” who played football and ran track at Flintridge and loved military history and a good debate, the school said in a statement.

“When I think about Scott’s service, I think of the Founding Fathers – a virtuous man must be prepared to risk his life, fortune and sacred honor for his country,” Headmaster Peter Bachmann said in the statement.

Though undersized for a defensive position, “he made our defense go,” football coach and science teacher Glen Beattie said. “He was aggressive, quick and wouldn’t let anyone block him or dominate him. He would fight through anything and would not let himself be defeated.”

Studenmund played football at Pitzer College in Claremont, California, for a year, then took leave to pursue his “life’s dream” of becoming a Green Beret, the Flintridge statement said.

Pasadena Mayor Bill Bogaard has requested that flags in the city be flown at half-staff in his honor.

Justin Clouse, 22 Clouse, of the tiny town of Sprague, Washington, loved sports and the outdoors, family members said.

He played basketball and football at Sprague High School, about 30 miles west of Spokane. In basketball, he was the team captain and most valuable player his senior year.

Clouse enrolled in the Army shortly after graduating.

Orville Clouse said Wednesday his grandson was an “awesome man” who loved fishing and hunting. He was planning to leave the military next spring and get married.

Justin Clouse’s parents departed Wednesday for a military base in Delaware, where his body will return to the U.S., Orville Clouse said.

Residents of the town of 550 people gave them a community send-off Wednesday morning.

Justin Clouse enlisted in the Army in 2010 and was on his second tour in Afghanistan.

TROUTDALE, Ore. – A 15-yearold gunman who killed a student at an Oregon high school had an assault rifle, handgun and several magazines of ammunition hidden in a guitar case and duffel bag when he rode a school bus to the campus, police said Wednesday.

The attacker, Jared Michael Padgett, a freshman at Reynolds High School in Troutdale, entered a boys locker room on Tuesday at a gymnasium, where he “murdered a fellow student,” police Chief Scott Anderson said.

He also wounded a teacher who managed to make it to an office and alert officials, Anderson said, adding that the action by teacher Todd Rispler and responding officers likely saved numerous lives on the campus.

The shooter later encountered officers in a hallway. After a brief exchange of gunfire, he fled into a restroom and was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, police said.

Anderson said no link had been found between the shooter and Emilio Hoffman, the 14-year-old student who was killed. No motive was disclosed.

“The shooter obtained the weapons from his family home,” Anderson said. “The weapons had been secured, but he defeated the security measures.”

“We’re working with the VA IG to follow it wherever the facts take us,” Comey said in response to a question about the FBI’s role in the matter.

The inspector general said in a report last month that 1,700 veterans seeking treatment at the Phoenix VA hospital were “at risk of being lost or forgotten.” The VA has confirmed that at least 35 veterans died while awaiting treatment in Phoenix, although officials say they do not know whether the deaths were related to long waiting times for appointments.

Comey did not elaborate on the investigation, but a Justice Department official said Wednesday that the department had formally asked the FBI to investigate allegations related to the VA. The official, who said the FBI would review materials provided by the inspector general’s office, spoke on condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss an ongoing criminal investigation on the record.

Police: Shooter at Ore. school had assault rifle

Korean translation program hits Brazil World Cup

By JENNY BARCHFIELD The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – Say you’re one of the 600,000 foreigners expected to attend the World Cup in Brazil, where hardly anyone speaks a language besides Portuguese, and you find yourself in the hospital and unable to communicate with the doctor.

What do you do?

A Korean nonprofit company has a solution: A phone number where foreigners can get real time language assistance in seven languages.

Called the Before Babel Brigade, the service was developed during the 2002 World Cup in South Korea and Japan as a way of helping foreigners find their bearings in a country where foreign language expertise is limited – much like Portuguese-speaking Brazil.

It works like this: Foreigners in need of language help dial a Rio de Janeiro number and select one of seven lan-

guages – English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Russian and Korean. A server automatically connects them to a volunteer translator who can speak directly to the local doctor, waiter, bank teller or taxi driver, passing along whatever the needed message. The service, known here as Rio Amigo, will be available 24 hours a day during the World Cup, which begins Thursday and runs through July 25.

“The Korean people like to help foreign people but we don’t have the language tools,” Mee-hei Choie, executive secretary of BBB Korea, said at an event in Rio. “Brazilians are the same.”

Beginning 12 years ago with some 2,000 volunteers translating seven languages, BBB Korea has mushroomed and now has 4,500 volunteers in 19 languages who respond to some 700 calls a day.

The service for Brazil’s World Cup is free to the user, except for the price of the Rio

telephone call. The service now even has an app – in response to the growing popularity of translation apps and online services.

Rio-based interpreter Marilia Rebello heard about the initiative from a journalist friend who covered the 2002 tournament.

“I heard about it, and next thing I knew I was on a plane to Korea,” said Rebello, who interprets in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French. “I thought, we have got to bring this to Rio, where we have the same issue – a population with a big heart but not the language skills to be able to help.”

Rebello has helped put together a team of 100 volunteers to field calls on their cellphones to the Rio number 24 hours a day.

“I usually don’t turn off my cellphone, but depending on how it goes, I might end up muting it at night during the World Cup,” said Alice Moreira, a 29-year-old volunteer

who’s a French-Brazilian dual national. “I’m really looking forward to my first call.”

Though the interpreters are all working pro-bono, the Rio project costs around $89,000 – the price of the print-

ed materials and other overhead. Korea-based electronics company Samsung is covering the tab.

The Rio number to reach an interpreter is: +55-21-35540304.

OUR VIEW

Stop using products with microbeads Microbeads are great for scraping dead skin off your face, but it turns out they’re not so good for the environment.

This week, Illinois became the first state in the country to ban the use of microbeads, small plastic particles commonly used as abrasives in personal hygiene products such as facial scrubs and toothpaste.

The headline sounds groundbreaking, but the details are not so bold. The measure’s drawn-out timeline, which bans the manufacture of microbeads by 2018 and the sale of products containing them by 2019, ensures that the tiny plastic particles will continue to be washed down our drains for years to come.

Consumers should speed up the timeline for this phaseout by simply not buying the products.

The legislation, which Gov. Pat Quinn signed Sunday, was passed in collaboration cosmetics lobbying group The Personal Care Council. At the least, it will force cosmetics companies to stick to their own timelines for phasing out microbeads and prevent other companies from stepping in to manufacture products containing them.

These tiny plastic particles do have the potential to become a big pollution problem.

Scientific studies have shown microbeads – tiny plastic balls less than a millimeter in diameter – have found their way into the world’s oceans and the Great Lakes, where they can pose a risk both to fish and those of us higher up on the food chain.

A single tube of facial soap can contain more than 300,000 microbeads, according to 5 Gyres, an environmental organization that fights plastics

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

pollution around the world.

Microbeads are designed to be washed down the drain.

The beads float, and also are so small that they often aren’t filtered out of the wastewater stream at treatment plants.

After wastewater is treated, the water and the beads are discharged into waterways, where they add to the plastics pollution already in the environment.

The beads naturally can absorb the trace amounts of toxic chemicals that may be present in the water. Their appearance also makes them look like food to fish. And fish are food for people.

A report this year from New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman’s office estimated that almost 19 tons of microbeads were being added to that state’s wastewater stream each year.

In response to the pollution concerns, environmental activists have pressured many companies to abandon microbeads in favor of alternative abrasives, such as oatmeal, ground almonds and pumice.

Several leading companies, including Proctor & Gamble, Unilever, Colgate-Palmolive, Johnson & Johnson, The Body Shop, and L’Oreal have pledged to phase out their use.

But we don’t have to wait for the companies to phase out these microbeads, or for the state of Illinois to ban them.

Consumers have the power to make more educated choices.

Don’t want to add to the tons of plastic being washed down America’s drains and into its waterways? Don’t buy products with “exfoliating microbeads.”

If enough people make that choice, these plastic pollutant products will be phased out much sooner than 2019.

OPINION

Don T. Bricker Vice President and Publisher

Planned Parenthood should try a little tenderness “Growing up, Mom always told me, ‘The answer to life is yes.’ ” That was Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, speaking at Barnard College’s commencement last month.

Richards is the daughter of a former Texas governor, the late Ann Richards, and in her speech Cecile Richards went on to praise another feminist icon, Margaret Sanger, the mother of Planned Parenthood.

In describing the “movement” Sanger gave birth to, Richards left out its eugenics-based origins and its current dark side, which give a dark irony to her life-affirming message above.

A new report from Live Action, a group that has been doing undercover investigations of Planned Par-

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez enthood clinics for six years, addresses those issues and more. Planned Parenthood clinics “committed 327,166 abortions – about a third of the national total,” from 2011-12, the report says.

The report notes Planned Parenthood’s insistence on campaigning against just about every possible law that might curtail “abortion rights” in the least – including bans on sex-selective abortions and waiting periods for the procedure. Live Action also makes the case that Planned Parenthood’s ideological commitment to abortion and contraception for women and girls of all

ages seems to blind the organization to the difference between “choice” and exploitation when it comes to sexually active minors.

Around the time of Richards’ commencement speech, Toni Braxton, the singer of the ’90s hit “Unbreak my Heart,” released a memoir by that title. If you remember the song, you can recall the audible depth of her pain and despair as she sings.

So, too, in her life.

Braxton describes becoming pregnant unexpectedly. She was taking an acne drug at the time, which had a warning label describing possible birth defects. She admits that while she took that “medical” excuse for an abortion, she also said

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

See LOPEZ, page 22

22 Society is trying to ignore the pain, regret that’s out there • LOPEZ Continued from page 21 she would have had the abortion even if the medication had not been a factor, describing it as a matter of “convenience.” When she gave birth to a son with autism years later, she thought the autism must be punishment from God. Braxton wrote: “In my heart, I believed I had taken a life – an action that I thought God might one day punish me for ... My initial rage was quickly followed by another strong emotion: guilt. I knew I’d taken a life ... I believed God’s payback was to give my son autism.”

This is the kind of pain and regret that is out there, even though society is trying its best to ignore it. Which is no small reason why, when Pope Francis recently canonized two recent popes, John Paul II and John XXIII, he did so on Divine Mercy Sunday. Because hearts need to know that there is healing out there. Our culture, too, in the throes of severe alienation, desperately needs to be a culture of encouragement that holds motherhood as a sacred honor, something that we celebrate and support.

In her Barnard speech, Richards declared her message to the young female graduates to be: “Life as an activist, troublemaker, agi-

tator is a tremendous option and one I highly recommend.”

As the recent social media concern for a group of kidnapped girls in Nigeria makes clear, we do feel for those who are suffering, and, in a particular way, for girls and women. Amidst boasting of shattering glass ceilings, though, hearts are broken and lives are ended in the name of not just “women’s freedom,” but also “women’s health.”

At one point in her commencement address, Richards said: “The world can be tough. It can be unjust ... Each one of you has the power to do something about it. You get to build the world you want to live in.”

Richards and Planned Parenthood have extraordinary power over the political process in the United States.

That power can be used for good – to make the world a little more just, a little more tender – if those who have been so stubbornly wedded to the abortion ideology considered the unnecessary pain that it inflicts, and lifted us out of this culture of death, destruction and broken hearts.

Police search for a way to douse Fire Groups compete in annual Joliet golf charity event

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Dwayne Killian, a regular on the Police team in the Joliet Police vs. Joliet Fire Ryder Cup golf matches, had a suggestion.

“I think we have to start wearing the red shirts,” he said.

The 11th annual competition for charity opened Wednesday at Inwood, and the scoreboard looked awfully familiar. The Police had a relatively good morning, staying within 4.5-2.5 in the three-man scramble.

In the afternoon, however, the Fire, which has lost only once through the years, was up to its old tricks, dominating the alternate shot 7.5-2.5 to claim a 12-5 lead heading into Thursday’s one-on-one matches.

“Look at that scoreboard,” retired Police Chief Mike Trafton said. “This is why I retired.”

Rick Chizmark, a captain of the Police squad, said, “Maybe we’ll win all the singles matches tomorrow.”

“That would be Armageddon,” Police golfer Jim Allison laughed.

Allison and Pat Schumacher had a difficult afternoon, losing to Brad North and Chris Stein 7-and-5.

“They were even for the four holes we made them play on the back,” Schumacher said.

Of course, the big winner in the annual competition is charity. The Fire is playing for the Illinois Youth Burn Camp and the Police are playing for Big Brothers Big Sisters. The winning team’s charity gets 60 percent of the money raised, the losing team’s charity gets 40 percent.

Through the first 10 years, the Ryder Cup matches have raised more than $91,000.

Intermittent rain Wednesday was no real problem. The

“About 7 o’clock last night, I was thinking, ‘OK, what’s Plan Z?’ ” said Rick Raasch, a captain of the Police team and an event organizer. “We could have made it one round only, but I know all the guys wanted to get out here and play.

“Considering how much it rained, the course was in great shape. Brian Legan and the staff here do a great job taking care of us.”

Raasch, Trafton and Brian Prochaska won 3-and-1 in the three-man scramble over Terry Mangun, John Stachelski and Ryan Lincoln. Raasch and Killian were 2-and-1 winners over Fire team captains Mangun and Stachelski in the afternoon.

“John and I were the best players on the Police team,” Mangun joked. “Everyone

else got points on our team.”

Other Fire winners in the three-man scramble were Joe Krupa, Mike Bessette, Ed Kolenc, North, Tom Douglas, Stein, Dan Smith, John Frankovich, Bob Surinak, Fred Offerman, Al Petro and Doug Frederick.

Mark Reid, Ryan Smith and Rick Goepper won for the Police. The Fire’s Chuck Skeldon, Leon Trimmer and George Bode finished all square with Jeremy Harrison, Brent Pokewicz and John Palmer.

Smith-Surinak, Skeldon-Trimmer, Dave Chizmark-Paul Purcell, Offerman-Petro, Lincoln-John Frankovich and Krupa-Douglas won for the Fire in the alternate shot. Raasch-Killian and Trafton-Prochaska won for the Police.

The exciting match of the day, the last to finish, wound

up all square as the Police’s Francis Ruettiger, partnered with Eric Moyes, made a downhill putt to win the 18th hole and tie Frederick and Kolenc. Ruettiger, who turned 60 Wednesday, and Moyes had been 5-down after seven holes.

“That put a big smile on my face,” Ruettiger said. “It was exciting with everyone watching. It really feels good

when you have fight back like that, not give up.”

“Rudy gave them momentum going into tomorrow,” Mangun said.

Indeed, the Police don’t plan to concede anything. The mystery remains, however.

How do you cool off the Fire?

“Maybe we should try something else, like a fishing competition,” Allison suggested.

Donny Simpson (right) fights Kubany Egemberdi during Friday’s Supreme Promotion’s Summer Series of Fights One at the Hollywood Casino in Joliet.

Park, Friday’s outdoor event at the casino was the turnout biggest yet.

While undertaking his biggest undertaking to date, Jackson was thrilled by the efforts of people at the casino to insure that the evening would indeed be a success.

“The last show that we put on at the Union Hall, it was bursting,” Jackson said. “We did it there, and people were waiting to get in. With all of the success, I felt sad since I knew I couldn’t do this here any more. I was going to have

to move my show out of a town I love.

“But then to get the call from a big sponsor who said that we needed to talk to Hollywood Casino. Then to have the magnitude of a sponsor like that, it’s just huge. They offered up the parking lot and said to do what you want with it, but you’ve got to have 1,100 people, and we exceeded that and could have had more. Every fighter loved being a part of it.”

Producing bigger shows is the exception in the business,

where Jackson notes that most companies are down-sizing or staging pro shows in front of fewer than 500.

With Kozol Brothers Distributors and Hollywood Casino Joliet pleased with the first chapter of the joint venture, Jackson is looking forward to an bigger spectacle during July. He’d like to stage a 30-fight card, which could run throughout a day.

“I think that we can get nearly 3,000 people for our show in July,” Jackson said.

JOLIET – It’s certainly not uncommon to see Jim Jackson displaying a big smile on his face.

But ever since staging his mixed martial arts extravaganza at Hollywood Casino Joliet last Friday, it’s safe to say the Supreme Promotions boss has been absolutely beaming.

That’s because Jackson’s Summer Series of Fights One event at the casino was a huge success, with a crowd of 1,400 showing up to witness the 12-fight card.

“UFC and Bellator do their shows in casinos, but we’re the only amateur company to be at a casino and to be sponsored by a casino,” Jackson said. “To bring in 1,400 people was magnificent. For them to see what we could do at that level is a game-changer.

“Now to know that we have them in our corner and with the July show coming up, there’s plenty more that we can do. Now we have the capabilities to do a pro show. And those fighters can get more exposure than they’ve ever had, right here in their home town.”

Supreme Promotions has indeed experienced great growth since its first show in February of 2010, moving from site to site in order to accommodate ever larger crowds.

From stops at the Renaissance Center and the IBEW 176 Union Hall in Joliet, the Roundhouse in Aurora and to Georgios Banquets in Orland

26th, and we’re trying to put 30 fights in, which has never been done. Ever since people found out that we’re doing this at Hollywood Casino, I’m getting calls from fighters every 40 minutes. We have 20 fighters lined up already.”

Supreme Promotions is a survivor in an industry, which has seen plenty of change since the state began regulating the sport last year. A large group of sponsors has helped to make his enterprise a successful one thus far.

In addition, Jackson has tried to model what he does after one of the pioneers of MMA in the Chicago area, Joe Goytia of Total Fight Challenge at the Willowbrook Ballroom.

The veteran salesman believes that Supreme Promotions’ success is because of several factors, including the diligent efforts of his match-maker, Mike Aguirre.

Taking care of his fighters is very important to the local promoter.

“If you’re looking for a fight and want to get tested, you come to Supreme Promotions,” Jackson said. “The reason why we have 37 to 40 fighters on hand is because we listen. We also have the best commission in the business because we’re packed with sponsors. And we have strength and conditioning coaches, which is unheard of.

“This sport is addicting. It’s great to see two guys with different backgrounds, whether it’s wrestling, judo or boxing, or with different styles. It’s a craft, it’s an art.”

CLASS 4A SOFTBALL STATE TOURNAMENT

Griffins hope to make more history at state

By CURT HERRON

Class 4A state schedule

cherron@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – It has been 12 years since Lincoln-Way East’s softball team became the first Illinois squad to capture a state title in an elimination tournament during its initial season.

On Monday, the Griffins joined their 2002 counterparts by becoming just the second team in the program’s history to earn a state trophy for a topfour finish.

This weekend, coach Elizabeth Pawlicki’s team will not only try to duplicate that earlier championship effort, but also pick up East’s third state title of the spring season and its fourth during the current year.

There are similarities between East’s place-winning softball teams. Each one had 10 losses when the playoffs began and both won one-run, eight-inning supersectionals after overcoming late jams in which their opponents had runners at second and third with no outs.

However, the 2002 team, which had no seniors, won five one-run or extra-inning contests to advance to the semifinals, while this year’s squad, with six seniors, has only had two games that were decided by a run or required additional frames.

East’s 4-3 victory in eight innings over Edwardsville in the Illinois State University Supersectional earned it a spot in Friday’s 3 p.m. Class 4A state semifinals at East Peoria’s Eastside Centre against a familiar opponent, Carl Sandburg, which also is a bit of a darkhorse.

While the Griffins started the season 8-5 before winning 19 of their last 24 to finish 27-10 as they head to state, the Ea-

Friday Game 1: Carl Sandburg vs. Lincoln-Way East, 3 p.m.

Game 2: Warren vs. Glenbard North, 5:30 p.m.

Saturday Third-place game Game 1 loser vs. Game 2 loser, 3 p.m.

Championship Game 1 winner vs. Game 2 winner, 5:30 p.m. gles were 9-9 before going 14-6 to help them to a 23-15 mark following Monday’s 4-2 win against Naperville Central.

Sandburg, who won a state championship in 2010 under veteran coach Jim Fabianski, overcame a late-season threegame losing streak to rattle off six straight victories, the same finish that East has had.

The squads have split their two meetings this season, with the Eagles winning, 3-1, on April 22 while the Griffins captured an 8-4 victory on May 12.

For East, Nikole Van Gennep is 13-3 with an 1.49 ERA, Jenny Van Geertry is batting .521 with 47 RBIs and Blake Ruiz is hitting .377 with 12 homers and 52 RBIs. Sandburg’s Sarah Herold is 10-6 on the mound and also hitting .384 while Katie Krzus is batting .411 with 28 RBIs and Bri Soltis has a .357 average with 29 RBIs. The Griffins, who lost in the quarterfinals in their 2007 state trip, are excited about their opportunity and hope to make the most of it.

“Honestly, I can’t say,” said Van Geertry of knowing when her team could get to state.

“But everyone, since they were a little kid, wanted to get downstate. The team gave

The winner of the East-Sandburg contest faces either Warren Township (26-9) or Glenbard North (30-5), who meet in the 5:30 p.m. semifinal.

Glenbard North last advanced to state in 2001 while Warren’s only previous state appearance was in 1980.

Saturday’s third-place contest will be played at 3 p.m.

while the championship game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Beside trying to capture the ultimate trophy for the second time, East also hopes to add to its state championships won this spring in boys volleyball and girls track and field, as well as the title in competitive cheerleading that was claimed in February.

A year ago, Minooka got hot at the end of the season and

won it all in the state’s largest class. The Griffins are hoping that they can accomplish the same thing this weekend.

“All along we really thought it,” East senior Ashley Hesse said. “But especially after we beat [defending Class 4A state champion] Minooka on its home field to win the regional [13-2 in six innings on May 31].

That’s when we really thought we could do it.”

run to make the catch and rob Scott Woodward of extra bases, saving a run in the process.

Stang also had a bunt single to fill the bases in the bottom of the second after an error and DeBruin’s single. Danny Hernandez’s RBI groundout put the Slammers up, 1-0.

Traverse City (10-12) drew even in the third when Jeff DeBlieux and Wrenn slammed back-to-back doubles off Joliet starter Matt Dillon.

Third baseman DeBruin kept the score 1-1 when he backhanded Jovan Rosa’s shot with a runner on third and threw him out to end the inning.

Before the doubleheader, newly signed outfielder Corey Keller, who had played in three games, announced he is retiring. The Slammers placed him on the suspended list.

SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Mother Nature has been victorious in virtually every auto racing series around the world.

Saturday Night’s D’Arcy GMC STARS National Midget event at Grundy County Speedway can be added to list of victims. As the cars and drivers in the second midget heat race circled the track in anticipation of the green flag, the skies opened up and put an early end to the night.

Before the rain came, the midgets completed their group qualifying sessions with previous week’s feature winner, Austin Prock, setting the pace with a quick lap of 14.322 seconds. The first heat was completed with Tyler Trainor holding off Prock’s challenges to take a comfortable victory. Behind Trainor and Prock at the finish line were Billy Hulbert, Ryan Probst, Tyler Baran

and Terry Ahern.

The Illini Racing Series midget heats were won by Mike Anderson, the previous week’s feature winner, and Dan Smith. The Classic Modified heat race was won by opening-night feature winner Tom Schnabel, while the heat-race victor for the INEX Legends was Brian Tedeschi.

Because of the rainout, this week’s Carter/Anderson Classic presents an opportunity to see the STARS National Midget racers in twin features. Two separate complete features will be run with each race containing 36 laps in honor of the car number the Anderson family has made famous on their midget for many decades.

Entering the event, Prock is atop the points standings for the STARS National Midgets, leading Kyle O’Gara by 11 points, followed by Brad Greenup, Travis Young and Nick Baran.

JOLIET – Adam Lewis has been the Joliet Slammers’ No. 2 catcher so far this season.

As such, he has not had many chances to play hero.

When the opportunity presented itself Wednesday night at Silver Cross Field, he took advantage.

Lewis hit a two-out walkoff single to center field on a 1-2 pitch from Traverse City reliever Will Rankin to drive home Adam Giacalone with the winning run in the eighth inning as the Slammers scored a 4-3 victory in the opening game of a doubleheader that was scheduled to consist of two seven-inning games.

The second game was tied at 1 after three innings at press time.

“We’ve been playing a lot of extra-inning games and it feels great to come through,” Lewis said. “I had two strikes and I tried not to do too much.”

Lewis entered 5 for 25, a .200 average, with no extra-base hits and no RBIs. He doubled to deep left-center field with one out in the fourth inning and scored the run that lifted the Slammers into at 3 tie on Tyler Grogg’s perfectly executed squeeze bunt.

“That was all Ice [Slammers manager Jeff Isom],” Lewis said of the squeeze.

“He called a great play. We’re all playing together now.

“This game definitely is a confidence booster for me. “I’ll take a two-hit game anytime, especially being a catcher.”

Behind the plate, Lewis guided the Slammers’ bullpen as it continued its brilliance.

Santo Manzanillo, Jordan Wellander and Brett Zawacki

combined for four shutout innings in relief of Jake Hermsen, allowing two hits while striking out seven.

The Slammers (10-12) extended their winning streak to four and are 2-1 in extra-inning games over the past five games. They improved to 7-4 in one-run games.

They’re still at the bottom of the Frontier League in team batting average, entering Wednesday with a .224 mark.

They are averaging 3.2 runs a game. But Isom believes they will find ways to score.

For instance, Grogg’s game-tying squeeze.

The other runs scored in the first on Marquis Riley’s home run, his first, and in the third when Russell Moldenhauer singled home Riley, who had reached on an infield single and stolen second.

Moldenhauer is fresh off being named Frontier League Player of the Week. He had two hits in Game 1 and entered Game 2 on a 15 for 27 tear, a .536 clip.

He hit safety in nine of 10 games in that span with two home runs, three doubles and nine RBIs. Traverse City scored on the long ball. Taylor Wrenn hit Hermsen’s first pitch well beyond the right-field foul pole for a 1-0 lead.

Chris Cowell’s shot into the beach in right field with a man on in the fourth gave the Beach Bums a short-lived 3-2 lead.

Joliet’s Grant DeBruin, hitting two batters before Lewis, came within an eyelash of a two-run beach shot that would have won the game in the eighth.

But right fielder Casey Roche made the catch leaning over the left front corner of the low fence.

Slammers center fielder Chad Stang supplied the early highlight in Game 2. With two outs in the first inning, he raced into deep left-cente field and dove on the full

QB Clausen hopes to rewrite ‘rough’ NFL story

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – As other players trotted off the turf at OTAs, Jimmy Clausen loitered, delaying the cameras and the questions he doesn’t yet know how to answer.

He stood around midfield for a half hour watching the other quarterbacks throw and throw. Finally, Clausen grabbed his helmet and jogged over to where the cameras were waiting. When he arrived, he smiled.

“Step right up,” Clausen said.

It was as if he was talking to himself. He came to answer questions from others, but many of them turned out to be ones he’s been repeating in his mind. How can Chicago be different than Carolina? How can he be different?

“It’s definitely exciting,” he said. “Obviously, it’s a big Notre Dame hub. I came to Chicago a lot while we were in college.”

Ah, college. That’s when the NFL dream was just that, when the expectations could wait and his mind told him he could fill them all. He was coming off a glorified highschool career that plastered him into the pages of Sports Illustrated with the headline, “The Kid with the Golden Arm.” Suddenly, he was the starting quarterback at Notre Dame, which is like college football’s equivalent to a throne. As a junior for the Irish, he threw 28 touchdowns

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Bears quarterback Jimmy Clausen (center) went 1-10 as a starter in his only season as a starting quarterback in 2010 with the Carolina Panthers. Clausen, shown during Wednesday’s OTA’s in Lake Forest, is getting another chance in the NFL with the Bears. to just four interceptions and then declared for the 2010 NFL Draft. He was selected by the Panthers in the middle of the second round, and by Week Three, he was a starting pro quarterback.

But there’s something that happened between then and now that has him here, donning a Bears practice jersey for his second day and hoping the rest of his time isn’t numbered. Clausen describes the period simply as “rough.” As a starter, he won one game and lost 10. He threw three touchdowns and tossed nine interceptions.

His rookie season ended with a 31-10 loss to the Falcons that earned the 2-14 Panthers the No. 1 pick in the next draft, which they spent on current starting quarterback

Cam Newton. Since Jan. 2, 2011, Clausen has yet to take another regular-season snap.

“Obviously, I had a rough rookie year,” Clausen said.

“But coming back my second and third year just to learn and watch the game from the sidelines. I did that at Notre Dame as well and it just helped me grow and learn different things.”

In his time on the bench in 2011 and 2012, Clausen studied the field with fellow backup Derek Anderson. The Kid with the Golden Arm wasn’t used to watching all game every game, but he said he found the discussion could expand his mind on coverages, pressures and parts of the field that seemed to fly by all too quickly during his rookie campaign.

‘HEART OF THE COMMUNITY’ Shorewood pastor with eclectic ministry style celebrates 45 years of service

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

“To me, he encompasses what it means to be the ‘heart of the community.’ He is not only my pastor, he is my boss, my mentor and my friend. He’s so down to earth, so real. Through him, I’ve learned that Christianity is fun, that it’s not no smiles and no laughter.”

dunland@shawmedia.com

S

HOREWOOD – It’s been a great ride.

So said the Rev. George A. Klima, pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in Shorewood, as he celebrates 45 years in the ministry – one that has consisted of starting the church 35 years ago, prison ministry, hospital ministry, serving as chaplain to both Shorewood’s police and fire departments – and ponders whether to retire or keep going.

“I look at it this way,” Klima said, “if the Lord takes me today, I’ve had a complete life.”

On Tuesday, Klima received the “Heart of the Community” Award at the Business After-Hours Event at the Heartland Bank. Kari Rieuf, youth minister at Hope Lutheran Church, said she had nominated Klima for all the above reasons, as well as a few others.

Rieuf said Klima also is a board member with the Will-Grundy Medical Clinic, works with the mayor on special memorial services in the village and often opens village board meetings with prayer.

“To me, he encompasses what it means to be the ‘heart of the community,’ ” Rieuf said. “He is not only my pastor, he is my boss, my mentor and my friend. He’s so down to earth, so real. Through him, I’ve learned that Christianity is fun, that it’s not no smiles and no laughter.”

At a board meeting in June, Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman said Klima, as the award recipient and longtime pastor in the community, was a good choice.

“I hope we hang on to his services for the many many years to come,” Chapman said.

However, Klima said his next direction depends on his health. Klima said he is facing

Either way, if his health is good, Klima said he’ll stick around. Otherwise, he’ll continue his membership at the church, visit some other churches and spend more time with his 16 grandchildren.

At any rate, Klima plans to wear his fire helmet bearing the word “chaplain” in the front – compliments of the Troy Fire Protection District – to church Sunday. Those who know Klima will not be surprised, as it suits his ministry style.

“We’ve had people come in and want to have a cherub choir with kids in little red

robes and I say, ‘I’m sorry, you’d better go to some other parish where they have that,’ ” Klima said. “But if you’re looking for a place where people roll up their sleeves and work for the interest of others, we’d be glad to have you.”

Klima grew up in Streator, with parents who consistently opened their doors to seminarians. Klima said he and his younger brother often climbed over sleeping young men to get to the bathroom or were relegated to the living room floor so the seminarians’ visiting girlfriends could have their beds. Those experiences shaped Klima.

“I learned to be very respectful of the ministry,” Klima said.

After graduating in 1969 from Concordia Theological Seminary in Springfield, Klima spent his vicarage at the former Holy Trinity Church in Joliet and then five and a half years in Minnesota at a church also called Holy Trinity. He also was chaplain for the Minnesota Correctional Institute for Women, where he said the inmates tried to either seduce him or kill him.

In 1974, Klima spent 10 months at Zion Lutheran Church in South Dakota, until Klima moved to the Joliet area to serve as chaplain at Stateville Correctional Center in Joliet and the former Joliet Correctional Center, which he did through 1981, Klima said.

Six years later, Klima began as chaplain at what is now Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet, a role he continued until Dec. 31, 2007, Klima’s birthday. He’s been with the police department for 15 years and the fire department for five, Klima said.

Although Klima’s natural family and church family supported his decision to choose the ministry – as opposed to becoming a police officer or a lawyer, Klima’s boyhood aspirations – attending seminary was a two-edged sword for Klima.

While it prepared him for a satisfying life’s journey, its rigid, dogmatic approach to theology also contributed to an anxiety disorder so severe that wearing a collar gagged him and Klima developed an over-reliance on prescription medication to endure it.

“I always wondered if I was good enough,” Klima said.

“I’d spend 25 hours each week working on my sermon.”

Through the guidance of mentors, Klima learned that “the call” was more about people than catechism. His presence during the best and the worst times of his parishioners was more important than “starched underwear,” and a true partnership with his congregation involved more than preaching from the pulpit.

It also included taking golf trips with them to Florida, smoking cigars and having “a little Scotch here and there,” and being cool with the adults calling him “George,” while the kids called him “pastor,” Klima said.

Still, Klima maintains that his best partnership has been with his wife, Nadine, a former labor and delivery nurse for the Joliet hospital.

Together they raised six children – three adopted – and he’s thankful she reminds him to wear his compression socks and take his medicine, even as she shares his joys and sorrows, and keeps the home fires burning in his absence.

“I’d come from the prison smelling like tear gas,” Klima said. “And when I was at the hospital with a family whose grandma was dying, she attended the children’s graduations. She has been a true helpmeet. She completes me.”

Parish hosts Corpus Christi eucharistic procession in June PLAINFIELD – On June 22, St. Mary Immaculate Parish in Plainfield will host Corpus Christi eucharistic procession.

The procession will begin at 1:15 p.m. at the church, 15629 S. Route 59 in Plainfield.

Progressing through the community with the Blessed Sacrament on the Feast of the Body and Blood of Christ is a venerable church tradition. The procession is an outward demonstration of Catholic faith and belief in the real presence of the risen Christ, under the appearance of the Consecrated Host. It is believed Corpus Christi processions date back to the 14th century.

They are still held on the Feast of Corpus Christi throughout the world, often with the regal splendor and

rich traditions of years past.

The procession is made up of clergy, Catholic groups and organizations, as well as lay people and their families. The Holy Eucharist is in a processional monstrance carried by a priest or bishop. The monstrance itself is protected by a decorated canopy.

In St. John Paul II’s Apostolic Letter, “Mane Nobiscum Domine,” he urged all Catholics to participate in Corpus Christi processions as a public profession of their faith in the real presence of Christ in the Holy Sacrament.

This year on the Feast of Corpus Christi also will mark the 12-year anniversary of eucharistic adoration at St. Mary Immaculate Parish.

For information on the Feast of Corpus Christi or eucharistic adoration at SMI, call 815-603-2350.

‘Workshop of Wonders’ will be July 14 to 18

mation, call 815-436-5680 or 815-436-9441.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Think carefully at trick one

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Steven Wright, a comedian who specializes in deadpan delivery, said, “Right now I’m having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.”

Cast your mind back to yesterday’s column. Then look at this one. Maybe you will have a Steven Wright moment.

West is defending against four hearts. He leads off with the club ace: six, queen, nine.

How should he hope to defeat the contract?

The bidding is instructive.

North is right to make a takeout double over one club. True, if South does not have a five-card major, the ensuing 4-3 major-suit fit might be worse than a 5-3 or 5-4 diamond fit. But a good South will have a five-card major.

East made a pre-emptive jump raise to three clubs, promising five or more clubs and a weak hand. With game-invitational or greater strength, he would have responded with an artificial two no-trump. (When responder has a big balanced hand, he starts with redouble over an opponent’s takeout double.)

South cue-bid four clubs to show a strong two-suiter. (With a good one-suiter, he would have jumped in that suit.)

Note East’s play of the club queen. When a defender cannot win a trick, he plays top of touching honors (assuming he can afford to do so, of course).

Now West should see four defensive tricks: two clubs, the heart king and a diamond ruff.

At trick two, not later, West must shift to his singleton diamond. He then gets in with the heart king, underleads his club king to give East the lead, and receives a diamond ruff.

ADVICE Man with ailing wife puts moves on neighbor Dear Abby: Dear Abby: My girlfriend and I live next to a married couple our age we have befriended. Unfortunately, the husband has been making unwanted advances toward my girlfriend. Being friendly with them both, we have kept it to ourselves so as not to hurt the wife.

She’s ill and has been in and out of the hospital.

The husband is approaching my girlfriend saying he needs “stress relief” because his wife is ill. We now feel something needs to be said to the wife, but we still have to live next door to them.

What’s the best way to handle this? – Had Enough In Florida Dear Had Enough: The next time this man hits on your girlfriend, she should tell him bluntly that it’s not her job to “relieve his stress.” That is his responsibility. She should also tell him if it happens again she’ll tell you

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips AND his wife what he’s up to.

As to being friendly with this couple in the future, FORGET IT. Dear Abby: I have a colleague who’s a drama queen.

There’s the boyfriend who doesn’t support her and their 2-year-old child financially or emotionally, her mom who suffers from many medical conditions, and her neighbor whose daughter was murdered some months ago. Sharon’s life seems to be a magnet for drama.

My colleagues and I have lent our ears and our shoulders to cry on. I have also tried to advise her (like you do) to no avail. I have now reached my limit. Is there a tactful way to deal with her? We

work in proximity at least half the time, so total avoidance is not possible. – Inundated In Hawaii Dear Inundated: If Sharon asks you for advice, tell her you don’t have any more to offer. And if she starts dumping on you, handle it by saying kindly, but firmly, that you need to work and don’t have time to listen.

Dear Abby: Do you have any advice for fathers who don’t listen to you? Or fathers who are too protective and don’t know how to let go? – Stargirl In Michigan Dear Stargirl: Whether a father is “too protective” may be a question of perspective – the father’s or the daughter’s. I have heard many adults say in retrospect how much they appreciate that their parents were strict. But I have rarely heard the contrary.

Lung nodules are not always signs of cancer Dear Doctor K: I saw my doctor because I’ve been getting short of breath. He did an X-ray and CT scan that found three small “pulmonary nodules.” Do I have lung cancer?

Dear Reader: There are few things more frustrating, for both you and your doctor, than when the doctor says: “Well, it’s almost surely nothing to worry about ... but there is a small possibility that it’s bad.” How often does that happen? Pretty much every day, in my experience.

The tests we have available today – particularly imaging tests – are much better at spotting possible problems than the tests available when I was in medical school. But how good are they at giving you a clear answer to the simple question: “Do I have something to worry about, doctor?”

Not very good at all.

Pulmonary nodules are a good example. The term nodule usually describes a small rounded growth or lump. Nodules can be a sign of cancer. But more often they are benign (noncancerous) growths.

Pulmonary nodules are found in the lung and have several possible causes. These include: • Lung infections, including infections that occurred years or decades ago.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Exposure to lung irritants, such as coal dust or silica.

• Abnormal blood vessels.

• Minor abnormalities that have been present since birth.

• Inflammatory conditions.

• Lung cancer.

• Cancer that started in another organ and spread to the lung.

To determine what caused your nodules, your doctor will perform a thorough evaluation.

This usually starts with your medical history. For example, a small lung nodule in a healthy 40-year-old who quit smoking 15 years ago is probably benign.

On the other hand, several large nodules in a woman with breast cancer could mean the cancer has spread.

Next, your doctor will review your X-rays. Certain characteristics may make the nodules appear more or less worrisome. For example, a smooth growth that’s surrounded by calcium (which appears white on an X-ray) is almost always left over from an old infection.

If a nodule is found on a regu-

lar X-ray, a doctor will likely order a computed tomography (CT) scan, as yours did. Newer types of tests, such as positron emission tomography (PET) scans, can provide additional information to help your doctor determine what caused your nodule. These additional tests are definitely superior to the standard X-ray in telling you there’s nothing to worry about. But they’re not perfect.

If your doctor believes your nodule is benign, he or she may recommend a repeat X-ray or scan in three to six months. At that time, your doctor will check whether the nodule has grown. If the nodule remains the same size, this is usually reassuring.

If your nodule looks suspicious or grows over time, you may need a biopsy. A small piece of the nodule will be removed and examined in a laboratory. That is the best way of knowing what you are dealing with. But it’s a procedure you have to go through, and it’s not as simple as a scan. Someday, scans will be so accurate that you won’t have to go through a biopsy.

Woman shares adoption story Dr. Wallace: This is in response to the 18-year-old girl who found out that she was pregnant. Her boyfriend and her mother were encouraging her to get an abortion. She didn’t like that idea, but was unsure how she could deal with a baby being an unwed mother.

I have a safe and sane solution for her. I was in the identical situation two years ago.

When I was a senior in high school I found out that I was pregnant. I knew that my parents would be hurt and upset when they found out, so I went to my school guidance counselor, and together, we decided to tell my mother and father.

At first they were shocked, but soon they helped me with their love and support.

After a lot of discussion, I decided to give my baby to a loving couple by way of adoption. Many mothers hear the word “adoption” and think that they could never give their baby away. Adoptions today have changed from what they once were.

I went to an agency that gave me profiles of childless couples that were looking to adopt. After reviewing all the profiles, I chose the parents who would raise my baby. We did not meet personally, but we corresponded by mail. Soon I felt I had known them for a long time.

I then went to a support group. Several pregnant girls who were going to place their babies in adoptive homes met once a month with counselors. Together we discussed our feelings

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace about adoption.

On the day I gave birth to my daughter, I got to spend as much time as I wanted to with her. My parents, grandparents and my best friend all came to the hospital to see a beautiful baby and a happy mother.

After signing legal papers, I had the chance to talk with the adoptive parents by phone. It was a wonderful chance to tell them about how much I appreciated them and to hear their voices.

Two months later I received a letter from the adoptive parents along with a picture of my daughter. We have agreed to correspond every Christmas, and they will keep me informed of my daughter’s progress. It has been arranged that I will get the opportunity to meet my daughter on her 18th birthday. I am looking forward to that time.

I now have a fulltime job, attend college part-time, and have moved on with my happy life. – Nameless, Albany, N.Y.

Dear Nameless: Thanks for sharing your experience. It will bring comfort to many teen girls who need to make this important decision.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your quest for success is likely to dominate you, causing insensitivity toward a friend or relative. Before making a move, consider the effects a change will have on others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Love, friendship and high spirits will keep you feeling on top of the world today. Be sure to include younger and older family members in your activities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You will make a lot more progress if you stop trying to persuade people to see things your way. Belief in your own worth is more important than the opinions of others. Follow your own path.

Director Will Eubank ready for next level with ‘The Signal’

By DANA BARBUTO More Content Now Up-and-coming indie film director Will Eubank apologizes at the end of our interview. “I was rambling. I’m sorry.

Give me a little coffee and I go for days,” Eubank said while promoting his new movie, “The Signal,” at the Liberty Hotel in Boston.

You can’t fault the loquacious director for being enthusiastic about his fledgling career and a movie that was the darling at January’s Sundance Film Festival, where the sci-fi mind-bender was purchased by Focus Features.

It tells the trippy story of three M.I.T. students whose cross-country trip turns into an experience straight out of the “Twilight Zone.” Things go wrong for Nic, Jonah and Haley when their side-trip pursuit of a rival hacker lands them prisoner in a government facility surrounded by untalkative guys in haz-mat suits.

Young actors Brenton Thwaites (“Maleficent”), Olivia Cooke (“Bates Motel”) and Beau Knapp (“Super 8”) portray the trio.

Laurence Fishburne plays the agent in charge.

“It’s kids sort of trying to find themselves and then happen upon something really crazy,” Eubank said of the film.

“They go down the rabbit hole ... and they’re trying to find their way out.

Through this process, hopefully, they learn more about themselves.”

Hailed as innovative and ambitious, Eubank – like Quentin Tarantino – didn’t go to film school. Instead, he’s drawn on years of experience working at Panavision, the camera rental house. The 31-year-old worked a lot of different jobs on a lot of different movies, all of which prepared him to be a filmmaker. And it all paid off at Sundance.

“As a filmmaker, it’s like a merit badge you desperately hope you’re going to get,” Eubank said of the festival. “I had two dreams before I turn 30 – go to Sundance and then get into the DGA. And the Sundance part took a little longer.”

It wasn’t the Holyoke native’s first trip to Park City, Utah.

“Panavision would send me to Sundance to talk about digital cameras … and I would just sit there and see these people, these actors, directors and storytellers and just wish that one day I could be one of them.”

Mission accomplished.

But Eubank said the experience was bittersweet.

“My grandfather lived in Salt Lake City, and he was kind of ... a gruff and crazy character. We called him Old Coyote,” Eubank said. “He was a cinematographer in the Navy, and I would always – on Panavison’s dime – go take him out to dinner. He was like, ‘Someday you’re going to get to Sundance.’ Unfortunately he passed away two years before the film got there. I was bummed.”

When he was younger, Eubank said he either wanted to make movies or go to the Naval Academy.

“I always felt like my granddad was connected to both of those things,” Eubank said.

Ultimately, movies won because you “probably didn’t need to get good grades to be a filmmaker.”

So Eubank started to “climb the ladder.”

He got the job at Panavision to learn the technical side of shooting a film. He borrowed the cameras on weekends to shoot other people’s projects, earning several gigs. “While I was doing that, I was always working on the stuff I was

writing. And then my first film, ‘Love,’ came along. It was all just falling into place. I wouldn’t say any of it was easy, and actually making ‘Love’ was difficult.

But when it was all said and done, I had a film in my pocket that I had directed and built upon everything I had learned up ’til that point. It was like solving a big math problem.”

Eubank parlayed the love he earned from “Love” into “The Signal,” which he wrote with his brother, Carlyle, and David Frigerio. He said it took about three years to transition from script to screen.

“I always buy this big moleskine book ... grab a pencil, because there is going to be a lot of erasing, and start to ... slowly draw every shot I think I’m going to shoot. The last thing I do is draw a little map of the ... space I envision this occurring in and I draw where the cameras will be. Like a bird’s-eye view of where everything’s going to be.

“Then I take that book, which is super thick by now and got a lot of stuff shoved in there, and start location scouting. ...

It’s almost harder to make that book than it is to make the script because that’s where you’re really forced to stare your movie in the face.”

Eubank, who counts directors Ridley and Tony Scott, Christopher Nolan and David Fincher as role models, didn’t have a big budget or much time to shoot on location in Albuquerque.

“I had to make lean-and-strong choices. I really needed to plan. I only have a few takes. I really needed to be surgical about it,” Eubank said. “And with all the pressures that are on set, you’re mind is pulled in different directions. You really need that road map.”

“The Signal” is just his second film, but Eubank said he’s learned two valuable lessons. The first: “A director needs to know where they are in the woods, especially on an indie film, where everything is out of order. That’s a real crazy puzzle.”

The second is casting people that you really believe in, including Fishburne.

“That’s such a legitimizing feeling. He put a lot more into Damon than there was on the page. He lends such an identity and power to a role because of who he is,” Eubank said.

For his next project, Eubank has two ideas percolating: A Scottish Highlander film or military movie.
