PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP

LOCAL BRIEF

Report points to park district in shed incident

Joliet man who police shot is out of hospital

Police: Missing equipment has not been located

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Township Park District employees, under orders from supervisors, cut the locks on a private soccer organization’s storage shed where equipment reportedly disappeared earlier this year, according to accounts given to police.

The police investigation into the matter has not led to criminal charges and did not locate the missing equipment.

The reports on the investigation were obtained by a Plainfield resident and shared with several media outlets.

The police reports indicate that a park district employee cut the locks in January on the storage shed, located in the park district’s Renwick Park.

But the employee reportedly received orders from higher in the district administration to cut the locks and move equipment belonging to the Plainfield Soccer Association. Who gave the initial order was unclear to police.

The confusion centers on whether former Executive Director Garrett Peck or Superintendent of Parks Gene Coldwater gave the order to cut the locks.

While the missing equipment never turned up, PSA President Rob Ayres said going to the police was a good decision.

“It definitely captured the fact that there was a lot of tension between PSA and the park district,” Ayres said.

“By notifying police, we had an independent third party investigating it. We just wanted to know what hap-

pened to the equipment.”

On March 18, PSA officials noticed that someone had broken into the shed by cutting off the organization’s locks and installed new ones.

At that time, Coldwater gave the PSA permission to cut the new locks to get inside the shed, which is on park district property. PSA Gene officials said Coldwater several bags of soccer equipment worth approximately $1,000 were missing.

Many of the organization’s Peter field boxes Hurtado were also reported missing.

Ayres filed a police report, and Plainfield Det. Matt Lehmann started an investigaGarrett Peck tion.

According to police interviews recorded in the reports, Park Supervisor Keith Miller and Mowing Supervisor Dale Thomas said they went to the shed and participated in cutting the locks.

The employees said the incident happened sometime in January, while Peck was the executive director.

Both employees said Joe Masters, parks and maintenance division manager, gave the direct order to cut the locks.

Masters told police that Coldwater gave him the order to have locks changed at the shed, and he relayed that order to Thomas.

Lehmann met several times with Coldwater, who told him that the previous eight months were very turbulent under the direction of Peck and Commissioner Peter Hurtado, who was board president at the time.

Coldwater said his mem-

ory has been a “blur,” and he didn’t recall having the locks removed or giving the orders. He said Masters told him Peck ordered the locks removed.

During a second meeting with Lehmann, Coldwater said he remembered receiving an order from Peck to lock all buildings and equipment from PSA because of “unpaid bills,” and that the park district would hold those items as “ransom.”

Peck did not respond to Herald-News requests for comment.

Coldwater also said he didn’t remember giving Masters the order, but he probably did.

Lehmann walked with Coldwater through all of the park district’s facilities to search for the equipment without finding it.

Lehmann also met with Peck on April 30. Peck said he didn’t remember if he gave an order to have the locks cut, but he mentioned an ongoing dispute between PSA and the park district over unpaid bills.

Peck said he did tell employees to remove the soccer goals and store them in lieu of payment. He questioned whether the equipment was ever stolen.

Lehmann also tried to contact Hurtado, who had a fallout with PSA years ago, but couldn’t reach him.

Hurtado said he was in Peru but eventually returned the phone call and left a message with Plainfield police on May 12 or 13.

“I don’t know anything about what happened,” Hurtado said.

The police investigation is closed, but could be reopened if new leads develop.

The police reports were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request filed by Plainfield resident Vicky Polito, who provided them to Ayres. Ayres has shared the reports with local media.

JOLIET – The man who was shot twice last week by a police officer he was allegedly pointing a gun at has been released from the hospital.

Kevin C. Robinson, 26, of Joliet was released Thursday from Good Samaritan Hospital and taken by ambulance to Kevin C. the Will Coun- Robinson ty jail around 7:30 p.m., according to police Cmdr. Al Roechner.

Robinson is being held on $1 million bond. He is charged with being an armed habitual criminal, unlawful use of a weapon, aggravated battery, two counts of domestic battery, aggravated fleeing from police and two counts of driving under the influence of alcohol, Roechner said.

A ‘win-win’ for city, Habitat 3 houses to be built at site of former factory

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It was a match made in housing development heaven.

The city of Joliet had a large vacant lot at Summit and Stone streets, but no funds to develop it.

Will County Habitat for Humanity had money to build a house, but needed somewhere to put it.

On Thursday, Habitat volunteers broke ground at 519 Summit St., the first of what eventually will be a subdivision of three homes on property donated by the city to the nonprofit Christian housing organization.

“Usually you see these houses going up in ‘onesies’ and ‘twosies,’ ” said James Haller, city planner. “To have them build three is pretty unusual.”

The property is the former site of the Joliet Mattress factory, Haller said. The city foreclosed on the building and demolished after it was abandoned in the 1980s.

“We’ve been trying to develop the site for more than 20 years,” Haller said.

The city was able to use federal funds to subdivide the property and extend water and sewer services to it, Haller said.

“It’s a win-win situation – no question about it,” Mayor Tom Giarrante said.

Annette Leck, executive director of Will County Habitat for Humanity, said the two-story, 1,500-square-foot home at 519 Summit St. will be completed in 12 to 18 months.

In the meantime, Leck said

Volunteers work on a Habitat for Humanity house on Thursday on Summit Street in Joliet. The city partnered with the Will County Habitat for Humanity to provide federal funds to assist in the building of the home. her agency will look for a family to occupy the three-bedroom home.

Leck said she plans to meet with parishioners at nearby St. John’s Catholic Church to help find potential candidates.

The agency puts an emphasis on low-income Will County residents in need. Candidates need to have good credit and must put in 350 hours of “sweat equity” into the program.

Habitat for Humanity provides their homeowners with 20-year, interest-free loans.

Proceeds from the loans are used to build new homes.

“This is a hand up, not a hand down,” Leck said. “The mission for Habitat for Humanity is to end poverty by

giving people the ability to own a home.”

The agency has built 65 homes in Joliet and Lockport since its founding in 1988, Leck said. Of those, 17 are now fully owned by their residents.

Corporations that provided volunteers and material to the project included ExxonMobil, Citgo, Whirlpool, Valspar and United Way of Will County.

Leck credited ExxonMobil, in particular, for helping out with 519 Summit St. “They come out when we have just a hole in the ground ... after they leave we have something that looks like a house,” Leck said.

One hundred employees and retirees from the ExxonMobil Joliet refinery

will work on the house for four shifts over two days, said Tricia Simpson, public affairs manager.

ExxonMobil also will provide a team volunteer involvement grant for $8,000 to $10,000 for the project, Simpson said.

The local refinery focuses on one Habitat project each year, Simpson said.

“We try to just smother it to get the walls up and the roof on,” she said.

Some of those working on the house volunteered on their own.

Stan Bumstead, a retired contractor from Orland Park, was on the site Thursday to cut headers.

Bumstead said he and seven of his retired friends are

working on four Habitat for Humanity projects at the moment.

“I just can’t sit still,” Bumstead said.

One challenge in building at 519 Summit St. is the steep grade, which falls away to the south and east. Bumstead noted that the foundation on the garage is 9 feet deep.

The property is next door to the former Fred Sehring Brewery Co. malt house at 512 Summit St., a huge limestone edifice built before 1875, according to the Historic American Buildings Survey of Joliet. Before it was used as a mattress factory, the property at 519 Summit St. once housed the brewery’s main office, according to the survey.

Mom of crash victim still awaits answers Prosecution: Man who confessed was delusional

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Maria Lech will never find closure.

Even if the facts supported David McCarthy’s confession to fatally striking her daughter with his car six years ago and he’d been found guilty at trial, even if a new suspect is identified, Melissa Lech’s mother will always have a sense of unease.

“There is really never closure when you lose a child.

Her room is still waiting in the house, I haven’t moved anything,” Maria Lech said Thursday after prosecutors dropped charges against McCarthy.

Recent psychological evaluations done separately by the defense and prosecution concluded McCarthy concocted a false confession based on media reports about the case.

Melissa Lech, 20, was a Plainfield South High School graduate who was preparing to start her junior year at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign when she was killed Aug. 7, 2008, by a hit-and-run driver on McDonough Street.

No suspects were identified until February 2012 when McCarthy, 30, knocked on the

door of Melissa’s older sister, Michelle Lech, and said 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 Melissa Lech he was arrested 2008 hit-and- later that day.

Maria Lech run victim believes McCarthy provided details about the accident that hadn’t been made public, but assistant pubDavid lic defenders McCarthy Stephen WhitMade false more and Tony confession in Purrazzo said that is not corcase rect. “[McCarthy] suffers from a delusional disorder,” Whitmore said.

“He didn’t have any independent recollection of the case outside what had already been reported,” Purrazzo added.

When Whitmore and Purrazzo informed McCarthy on Thursday morning in court that he would not be prosecuted, he laughed with apparent delight and began shaking their hands enthusiastically.

Whitmore said obtaining McCarthy’s medical and psychological records through

Maria Lech stands outside the Will County Courthouse on Thursday.

Prosecutors dropped charges against the man they said made a false confession to the hit-and-run accident that killed her daughter, Melissa Lech, in 2008. subpoena was a lengthy process. The defense submitted an evaluation of McCarthy’s false confession to the Will

County State’s Attorney’s Office in March. Dr. Randi Zoot then evaluated McCarthy for the state and agreed with the

defense in her own report.

“Over the years [McCarthy] has admitted to a number of things which could not possibly be true and [are] based upon fantasy,” Zoot wrote.

“Mr. McCarthy has had obsessive thinking over various situations, which then develops into full blown delusional belief.”

After McCarthy confessed to Michelle Lech, police found the car he’d claimed to have been driving and obtained samples to match to a paint chip recovered from Melissa’s body. FBI lab testing showed the paint chip did not match McCarthy’s vehicle, according to Whitmore and prosecutors.

McCarthy was ordered released from the county jail Thursday afternoon. Whitmore said McCarthy’s family indicated earlier they will seek psychological counseling for him, but he was not privy to their final plans.

When Judge Robert Livas approved the motion to dismiss the charges, Maria Lech stood up and slowly clapped before walking out with a sarcastic “Thank you.”

Outside the courthouse, Maria Lech asked McCarthy to leave her daughters alone, but invited him to see her if he wanted to talk.

“I’m not a psychiatrist. But I’ve dealt with so much pain in my life. Losing my husband to cancer. Losing Melissa ... without being delusional,” she said.

Forest preserve warns residents to stay off its grass District says homeowners are encroaching on forest land

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Forest Preserve District of Will County is cracking down on property owners who illegally use the district’s public land for personal storage, composting, or

as a spot to dispose of yard waste.

In one instance, a Homer Glen resident even built a wooden pier on the district’s adjacent land and erected a “No Trespassing” sign, said Marcy DeMauro, the forest preserve district’s executive

director.

T h e d i s t ri c t s u r v e ye d boundaries along 12 of its 82 preserves this spring. Staff found 214 encroachments, most of which were simply homeowners mowing the land, while others dumped trash, or built permanent structures,

gardens or fencing.

Letters were sent out last month to owners asking that they remove items within 45 days and comply with the district’s policies. In instances where property owners were mowing the district’s land, the letters request that they immediately discontinue because mowing has an impact on vegetation and wildlife

habitats.

However, the 45-day deadline for property owners currently mowing will be extended until board members can take a closer look at the policies presented Thursday by the district.

The extension was agreed upon following complaints

Bricker retiring District 86 school board bids from Shaw Media farewell to 2 administrators JOLIET

SHAW MEDIA

By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – The Joliet Grade School District 86 board said an emotional goodbye to two of its assistant superintendents and hired one replacement Wednesday night.

Sandra Gavin, assistant superintendent of curriculum and education, is retiring after a 26-year career in the school district.

Sandra Thomas, assistant superintendent of student services, is leaving to become superintendent of Country Club Hills School District 160.

Both will leave at the end of June.

Gavin will be replaced by Elizabeth Yacobi of New Lenox, who comes from Kankakee School District 111 where she was assistant superintendent of curriculum for four years. Thomas’ position has

not yet been filled.

Board member Christine Kim, whose children were former students of Gavin, got tearful as she told Gavin “all the kids wanted to say thank you and they love you.”

In her 26 years with the Joliet school district, Gavin was a teacher and had been principal at Eisenhower Academy.

She became an assistant superintendent in 2010.

“My roots go deep in this district,” Gavin said. “I was actually a student teacher at Gompers Junior High 40 years ago where I met my husband.”

“I had opportunities in this district that I never thought I would have,” she added, “so thank you so very much for that. My heart is still here.”

Yacobi has 26 years of experience in education, including positions as a teacher and a principal.

“Her extensive experience

as a curriculum specialist will allow us to benefit from her skill set,” said District 86 Superintendent Charles Coleman.

Thomas has been with the district for 11 years – nine as director of special services and two as an assistant superintendent.

“I always say that I work for children,” Thomas told the board. “I take my job seriously, maybe too seriously.

Thank you for giving me that opportunity here in Joliet.”

In other business, the schedule for student registration was presented. Registration is required for all students. Dates and times are: • June 17 to 30, Monday through Thursday only from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• July 14 to 17, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

• June 24 and July 15, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.

In a Changing World, Some hings Never Change

JOLIET – The Herald-News Publisher Don Bricker has announced he is retiring from Shaw Media to pursue a new opportunity in Colorado.

Bricker joined Shaw Media in June 2008 as the publisher of the Daily Chronicle in DeKalb and Kane County Chronicle in St. Charles.

He has since served in a number of capacities, and was promoted last year to the vice president of Shaw’s suburban publishing. He

was named earlier this year publisher of The Herald-News and Morris Daily Herald.

Bricker said he and his wife, Karen, are moving back to Colorado to be near two of their children and their newborn grandson.

Bricker said he has accepted a position with Colorado College in Colorado Springs as the associate director of its Career Center.

Bricker’s last day was Friday. Shaw Media is in the process of looking for Bricker’s replacement.

land a medical helicopter if necessary.

Recycling event Warriors who decide the obstacle course has ruined their shoes will be asked to recycle them at the event. USAgain spokesman Scott Burnham said more than 5,000 pairs were collected last year.

“When the shoes end up biting the ... mud, we want to keep them from taking up landfill space,” Burnham said.

Shoes in better condition will be resold to thrift stores while the rest will be broken down into athletic surfacing, Burnham said.

“You might not notice with all that mud, but the Warrior Dash is a green event,” Burnham said.

New prosecutor named in man’s 8-year-old drug case First prosecutor may be witness in separate incident

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A new special prosecutor will take over the case against a Naperville man who has been awaiting trial on drug charges for eight years.

Assistant Attorney General Paul Bervid took over Thursday for his colleague John Kezdy, who has had the case for five years, because Kezdy may be a witness in a new case against Michael R. Vilim, 55.

On May 8, Kezdy allegedly arrived at the courthouse to see Vilim driving in a car by himself. Being aware that Vilim’s license is suspended

because he failed to pay child support, Kezdy notified state police, who stopped Vilim at Interstate 80 and Briggs Street, according to reports.

Bervid told Judge Edward Burmila that Vilim identified himself to police as his own brother.

Kezdy said Thursday he did not witness the arrest, but Vilim’s attorney Chuck Bretz argued Kezdy is listed in the report and could be called as a witness.

Kezdy first told Burmila he would “temporarily” withdraw from the prosecution until the suspension case was resolved.

“I don’t want any ‘game playing’ here and I use the term purposely. You’re in or you’re out,” Burmila said.

Kezdy agreed to withdraw and the motion to revoke Vilim’s bond was argued.

Burmila agreed that the driving with a suspended li-

cense arrest, while only an allegation, had violated bond conditions and raised Vilim’s bond an additional $50,000 to $350,000. Vilim was handcuffed and brought to the county jail, but relatives indicated they would put up the $5,000 cash now required immediately.

Vilim was arrested in 2006 in Bolingbrook when the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad reportedly seized 17 kilos of cocaine. During the investigation, Vilim’s then-wife was having a sexual relationship with a MANS agent, according to court records.

Vilim, an investor and trader who also managed a Chicago-area boxer, has been permanently banned from selling securities in Illinois after he took thousands of dollars his clients wanted to invest for his own personal use, according to the Secretary of State’s Office.

• FOREST Continued from page 4 heard at Thursday’s board meeting, DeMauro said.

“Once we started getting feedback from those residents, we realized that this was something we’d have to look at more closely with respect to our mowing schedule,” DeMauro said.

One resident raised concerns about how often vegetation along his property will be mowed, noting that at one time the district only mowed boundaries twice a year.

“The problem I’ve got with it is, how often is it going to be cut?” one resident said. “Right now, we’ve been cutting it for 18 years and there hasn’t been any problems at all.”

Board member Reed Bible, D-Plainfield, noted there’s the issue of liability.

“We kind of live in a liti-

gious society these days,” he said, noting the forest preserve district would be liable if someone was injured on the land.

The board voted on Thursday to send the matter to its operations committee for further review. It will be taken up at the committee’s July 2 meeting.

In the meantime, the district staff will work with those who may need more time getting rid of permanent structures, DeMauro said. But property owners who are encroaching on the district’s land with minor violations must abide by the established deadline, she said.

Property owners with questions are encouraged to contact the Forest Preserve District of Will County. The district will survey the remaining property boundaries for encroachment violations over the next few years, DeMauro said.

CHANNAHON – About 20,000 warriors are expected to dash through the Dollinger Family Farm this weekend.

To keep everyone else moving nearby, police will be changing road traffic patterns and closing subdivisions to through-traffic while the fourth annual Warrior Dash is held Saturday and Sunday.

Storming “The Battleground” means making your way through 14 obstacles in the 3.1 mile course. Some proceeds from the event benefit St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

From 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Sunday, Ridge Road will become a one-way street running south from Route 6 to Hansel Road,

while McLinden Road will only be available for northbound traffic. Traffic on Hansel will only run west between Ridge and McLinden.

“The Keating Point [and] Woods of Aux Sable subdivisions will be closed to all but emergency vehicles and local traffic during the event to minimize racers parking or attempting overnight camping,” Det. Adam Bogart said.

Bogart said residents and visitors who inform officers they are going to a specific address will be allowed to pass.

“We are hoping to keep any inconvenience to a minimum,” Bogart said.

Keating Boulevard will be used for emergency vehicles to access a staging area or to create a zone away from residences that could be used to

He shared Cantigny Post Officer of the Year honors with his former partner Aaron Bandy in 2010.

German was assigned 180 cases to investigate last year and completed 110 of them with arrests or referrals to other police departments, Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said.

An investigation German started on his own that began

with a search warrant he’d done as a tactical officer led to the discovery of a fraud ring that stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from local banks.

That case resulted in 270 felony counts of financial crimes against 15 suspects.

“The state award is a significant honor considering all the accomplishments of other local winners, but it’s truly a testament to the quality of the work [German] has performed throughout the year,” Benton said.

Little Caesars gives lunch to those in need Company brings Love Kitchen to city

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Kimberly Preston has been searching for jobs during the past five years to earn enough money for food.

“It’s a godsend I’ve been able to have a meal every day,” said Preston, who is homeless and dined on a free lunch Thursday at the Morningstar Mission at 350 E. Washington St. “The economy is not growing enough for us on the lower rung.”

The free lunch was courtesy of Little Caesars Love Kitchen, a pizza kitchen in a truck that travels to sites around the United States and Canada giving free meals to the homeless, disaster survivors and the hungry.

The Love Kitchen traveled to the Morningstar Mission to feed more than 50 of the homeless Thursday. Pizza, chocolate milk and salad was available for those in dire situations.

The Love Kitchen will also open a free lunch at Daybreak

Center in Joliet on Friday.

“It’s great that Little Caesars is doing this,” Preston said. “They’re really helping others.”

Joliet resident Marvin Stewart isn’t homeless. But he is in a job transition and many times doesn’t make enough to pay for a good meal. He’s still looking for a decent job.

“I’m really thankful to Little Caesars for the meal,” Stewart said. “I’m grateful a major corporation comes back to help people who need it.”

Morningstar Mission Executive Director Marilyn Farmer said it was the first time a big corporation has held an event like this at the shelter, adding it’s usually individuals or churches that hold similar free lunches.

“It’s a nice treat for our guests to have fresh home pizza,” Farmer said. “For our volunteers, it’s more rewarding for them to get the blessings from a guest.”

Shorewood resident Marge Lentes volunteered her time serving guests Thursday.

Vikaas Shanker – vshanker@shawmedia.com

Volunteer and Shorewood resident Chuck Olson (right) asks Marvin Stewart of Joliet what he wants on his lunch plate Thursday at the Morningstar Mission on 350 E. Washington St. Little Caesars Love Kitchen provided food, including pizza, for needy people at the shelter.

“I enjoy it and the satisfaction,” Lentes said. “The satisfaction comes when you see these people happy and smile and appreciate what you do.”

Love Kitchen operator Rick Moreno travels with the Little Caesars truck to different locations and sees that appreciation from people in

ELWOOD

Video shows truck hitting railroad gate Police chief says it shows dangers at train crossing

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – The village of Elwood released a video Thursday of a semitrailer breaking a railroad gate, stepping up a dispute with trucking interests that is now in the federal court.

The video shows a semitrailer going through the railroad crossing at Illinois Route 53 and Walter Strawn Drive as a gate comes down on top of the trailer and breaks apart.

need.

“It’s so rewarding to see the smile on the kids’ faces,” Moreno said. “This is why I do this.”

Hayes said Thursday the village chose to release the video this week because the public “has a right to know” how dangerous that particular railroad crossing has become.

“It highlights what we’ve been trying to tell people,” Hayes said. “This video shows visually what we’ve been talking about all along.

This is an extremely dangerous crossing. This shows the public what we, as law enforcement, see on a regular basis.”

Trucks broke through railroad gates at the Illinois Route 53 and Walter Strawn Drive crossing roughly 50 times in 2013.

The problems at the crossing are being reviewed by the Illinois Commerce Com-

mission, which has scheduled a hearing on the matter for Wednesday.

“Unfortunately, highly dangerous, life-threatening close calls like those shown in this video have become business as usual in Elwood,” Village President William Offerman said in a news release accompanying the video posted on YouTube.

Offerman went on to say in the statement, “I refuse to put corporate interests

ahead of the safety of the people of Elwood.”

Earlier this week, CenterPoint Properties, the developer of neighboring industrial parks in Elwood and Joliet, along with two other plaintiffs filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court.

CenterPoint was joined in the lawsuit by Union Pacific, which operates an intermodal yard at CenterPoint Intermodal Center-Joliet, and APL Logistics, a trucking distribution company that operates out of the Joliet industrial park.

The lawsuit contends that Elwood’s rerouting of truck traffic violates federal law on interstate commerce, causes significant economic damage, and creates unsafe road conditions.

McDonough Street project starts Monday JOLIET – Eastbound traffic on McDonough Street will be detoured for construction between Houbolt Road and Infantry Drive beginning Monday.

Eastbound traffic will detour from Houbolt Road to Jefferson Street to Infantry Drive. Westbound traffic on McDonough Street will be unaffected by the project, which is expected to continue through mid-October.

The project will include reconstruction of the road to three lanes, with new curbs and gutters, streetlight improvements and traffic signal upgrades at the intersection of McDonough Street and Houbolt Road.

The Will County Highway Department awarded the contract for the project to P. T. Ferro Construction Company.

NEW YORK – For Ruby Dee, acting and activism were not contradictory things. They were inseparable and they were intertwined.

The African-American actress who earned lead roles in movies and on Broadway also spent her entire life fighting against injustice, even emceeing the 1963 March on Washington Ruby Dee and protesting apartheid in South Africa.

“We are image makers.

Why can’t we image makers become peacemakers, too?” she asked after she and her husband Ossie Davis accepted the Screen Actors Guild Award for Lifetime Achievement in 2000.

That legacy of entertaining and pushing for change – in addition to her epic love affair with Davis – made Dee, who died at age 91 in her New Rochelle, New York, home on Wednesday night, a beloved figure in America and beyond.

Broadway theaters will dim their lights in her honor Friday night.

As a sign of how influential Dee has been to generations of performers, she was thanked twice from the podium at this Sunday’s Tony Awards – by six-time winner Audra McDonald and new Tony winner director Kenny Leon.

“She will be missed but never forgotten as she lives on in many of us,” Leon said in a statement Thursday, noting that Dee’s passing came just weeks after the death of Maya Angelou. “Maya and Ruby leave us only days apart – those two women with four letter names instructed us on how to live.”

Republicans call for redistricting reform in Illinois

CHICAGO – Republican legislative leaders pushed for Illinois to change how it draws political boundaries Thursday during a Chicago luncheon that also highlighted other political reform issues including term limits, scrutiny of campaign fundraising and so-called “lame-duck” sessions after an election.

The support for a signature-driven ballot initiative to leave redistricting in the hands of an independent commission – if it survives scrutiny by election officials and a lawsuit – could evolve into a major issue for the GOP ahead of November’s high-stakes election where Gov. Pat Quinn is facing a difficult challenge from Republican businessman Bruce Rauner.

Suit against Ill. treasurer names Romney campaign

CHICAGO – An amended lawsuit from a former employee of Illinois’ treasurer now names Republican Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign as a defendant. But Thursday’s filing in federal court in Chicago doesn’t include any specific allegations of wrongdoing by Romney’s failed campaign.

The suit focuses on Treasurer Dan Rutherford. It accuses him of pressuring workers to do political work for his and Romney’s campaigns.

The amended complaint also repeats allegations in the original suit. Those include allegations by former employee Edmund Michalowski that Rutherford sexually harassed him.

Rutherford has adamantly denied those allegations.

President Barack Obama’s home state agreed to spend $33 million in federal money promoting his health care law, hiring a highpriced public relations firm for work that initially was mocked and spending far more per enrollee on television ads than any other large state. (Above is one of several satirical ads Illinois used to encourage young adults to sign up for health insurance.)

After getting a late start and facing intense pressure to avoid more embarrassment for the much-maligned law, Illinois officials last summer inked the most lavish contract in the history of FleishmanHillard’s Chicago office. The goal was getting uninsured residents to sign up for coverage.

More than 90 people, including executives from the firm and its subcontractors, billed at least $270 an hour for salary and overhead during the first four months. The hourly amount far exceeded the contracts other states signed for similar work. Colorado paid its ad agency $120 per hour, for example. In Connecticut, a similar contract had rates topping out at $175 an hour.

The Associated Press, using open records requests, obtained hundreds of pages of contracts, bills, plans and heavily redacted emails between the marketing team and state officials. Together, they raise questions about whether the state did enough to keep federal taxpayer costs under control.

The hourly rates are “absolutely excessive,” said Illinois Rep. Darlene Senger, a Naperville Republican who is running for Congress.

Peoria mayor sued over response to Twitter account

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Peoria by the American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, which is representing the account’s creator, 29-year-old Jonathan Daniel.

The filing calls the account a “satiric form of expression protected by the First Amendment” and says no one could have reasonably thought the tweets actually came from Mayor Jim Ardis.

NATION BRIEFS Study: Teens are drinking less, texting more often NEW YORK – American teens are smoking less, drinking less and fighting less. But they’re texting behind the wheel and spending a lot of time on video games and computers, according to the government’s latest study of worrisome behavior.

Generally speaking, the news is good.

Most forms of drug use, weapons use and risky sex have been going down since the government started doing the survey every two years in 1991.

Teens are wearing bicycle helmets and seat belts more, too.

“Overall, young people have more healthy behaviors than they did 20 years ago,” said Dr. Stephanie Zaza, who oversees the study at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The results come from a study of 13,000 U.S. high school students last spring.

Participation was voluntary and required parental permission, but responses were anonymous.

Reservation hopes for results from Obama’s visit CANNON BALL, N.D. – When Alma Thunder Hawk moved back to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation five decades ago, she, her parents and six relatives had to live in a tent on the North Dakota prairie.

Now, with her government-issued trailer uninhabitable, Thunder Hawk moves from house to house among friends

in Cannon Ball, the Native American community of less than 1,000 that President Barack Obama will visit Friday.

It’s his first trip to Indian Country as president and only the third such visit by a sitting president in almost 80 years.

At their powwow grounds, residents of the reservation that straddles the border between North Dakota and South Dakota plan to show Obama their traditions.

But they also hope he sees their issues: the lack of adequate housing, health care and education, among others, that plague the reservation and other parts of Indian Country.

Missouri company recalls 4,012 pounds of beef KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A Missouri company has recalled possibly tainted beef products distributed to two restaurants and a grocery chain, the U.S. Department of Agriculture said.

Jackson-based Fruitland American Meat is recalling about 4,012 pounds of beef because it could contain parts of the nervous system that can carry properties related to bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease, the USDA said in a release Wednesday.

BSE is fatal to cows and can cause a fatal human brain disease in people who eat tainted beef.

The USDA said there’s no indication the slaughtered cattle showed signs of BSE.

Bergdahl scheduled to arrive in Texas on Friday

By ROBERT BURNS and LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, who has been recovering in Germany after five years as a Taliban captive, is returning to the United States on Friday, but he will not receive the promotion that would have been automatic had he still been held prisoner.

Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon press secretary, said Thursday that Bergdahl had left Germany on board a U.S. military aircraft and was expected to arrive at Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, early Friday morning.

A U.S. official, meanwhile, said the promotion list, which would have boosted Bergdahl to staff sergeant, was expected to be released this week, and he would not be on it.

Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told The Associated Press last week that the promotion would no longer be automatic because Bergdahl is now free and any promotion would be based on routine duty requirements, such as proper levels of training and education as well as job performance.

The U.S. official said medical personnel had determined that Bergdahl was ready to move on to the third phase of his reintegration process, which would happen at Brooke. The official was not authorized to provide details about Bergdahl’s promotion by name and spoke Thursday on condition of anonymity.

Officials had previously said the intention was for Bergdahl to be reunited with his family at Brooke and to spend an undetermined period there in further recuperation.

Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl sits in a vehicle guarded by the Taliban in eastern Afghanistan. A U.S. defense official said released captive Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is scheduled to arrive at a military medical center in Texas on Friday.

Officials have kept a lid on details of Bergdahl’s condition and his travel plans out of concern that he not be rushed back into the public spotlight after a lengthy period in captivity and amid a public uproar over the circumstances of his capture and release.

Officials also said Thursday that the Army has not yet formally begun a new review into the circumstances of Bergdahl’s capture and whether he walked away without leave or was deserting the Army when he was found and taken by insurgents.

The answers to those questions will be key to whether Bergdahl will receive more than $300,000 in back pay that is owed to him since he disappeared in June 2009 from his post in eastern Afghanistan. If he was determined to be a prisoner of war, he also could receive roughly another $300,000 or more, if recommended and approved by Army leaders, according to a U.S. official.

Bergdahl was released from Taliban captivity on May 31 and has been at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center in Germany since June 1.

Many have criticized the Obama administration for agreeing to release five Taliban prisoners from detention at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in exchange for Bergdahl. Some of Bergdahl’s former Army colleagues have accused him of deserting his post.

Republicans and Democrats questioned the wisdom of releasing the five Taliban members, saying they could return to the battlefield. Administration officials have told Congress that four of the five Taliban officials will likely rejoin the fight.

In congressional testimony Wednesday, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel called the former Taliban government officials “enemy belligerents” but said they hadn’t been implicated in any attacks against the United States. He said Qatar, which has promised to keep the five inside the country for a year, promised sufficient security measures to warrant making the swap for Bergdahl.

Hagel also said Bergdahl was early in the process of recovering from the trauma of captivity. He said that process began with his arrival at Landstuhl on June 1.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – If you hope to get a raise that finally feels like one, it helps to work in the right industry.

Historically, at this stage in the economy’s recovery, pay would be rising in most sectors.

Overall pay has been rising about 2 percent a year, roughly equal to inflation.

Technology has played a role, too. It’s lifted pay for people who work, for example, with programs that sift data from your mobile devices so companies can pitch products matched to your interests.

Yet workers in industries upended by the Internet, such as retailers left behind by e-commerce, have been hurt.

Their pay hadn’t risen in the three prior years. Pay is strong for specialists in “Big Data” – digital information that includes data culled from mobile devices to spot trends or build digital dossiers on people.

Also hot are people who use technology to help health care providers digitize medical records. Nearly three-quarters of health care providers are having trouble attracting workers with expertise in erecords, according to a survey last year by Towers Watson, a consultant.

All-new Cherokee tops the list of mid-size SUVs

J

eep went all the way out on the cutting edge and came up with a revolutionary design to bring back the “Cherokee” nameplate after a 12-year absence.

The 2014 Cherokee debuts as an all-new, five-passenger, midsize SUV with legendary Jeep 4x4 capability enhanced with state-ofthe-art technology.

Cherokee is the first midsize SUV to feature rear-axle disconnect, reducing energy loss when 4x4 capability isn’t needed and improving fuel economy. The innovative Jeep Selec-Terrain system is available, with up to five modes for the best four-wheel-drive performance in any road or weather condition.

You can couple Cherokee’s segment-first nine-speed automatic transmission to a choice of three available 4x4 systems: Jeep Active Drive I, II and Drive Lock.

That was more than enough to win Cherokee the title of Northwest Outdoor Activity Vehicle of the Year at the recent 20th annual “Mudfest” competition. The event hosted by the recent Northwest Automotive

Press Association (NWAPA) had more than 20 automotive journalists test 23 vehicles over two days on autocross, paved and off-road routes at the 310-acre DirtFish Rally School site in Snoqualmie, Wash.

ning both sides of the border.

It has pushed deep into parts of Iraq’s Sunni heartland once controlled by U.S. forces because police and military forces melted away after relatively brief clashes, including in Iraq’s second-largest city of Mosul.

Skirmishes continued in several areas. Two communities near Tikirt – the key oil refining center of Beiji and the city of Samarra, home to a prominent Shiite shrine – remained in government hands, according to Iraqi intelligence officials. The price of oil jumped to above $106 a barrel as the insurgency raised the risk of disruptions to supplies.

In its statement, the Islamic State declared it would start implementing its strict version of Shariah law in Mosul and other regions it had overrun. It said women should stay in their homes for modesty reasons, warned it would cut off the hands of thieves, and told residents to attend daily prayers. It said Sunnis in the military and police should abandon their posts and “repent” or else “face only death.”

siege those talks had largely collapsed.

Now the focus has shifted to whether Pakistan’s Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif will authorize a large-scale military offensive against the North Waziristan tribal areas where the militants are headquartered.

In the first strike, which came late Wednesday, a suspected American drone fired two missiles at a militant hideout in North Waziristan near the Afghan border, killing three militants.

Then, early Thursday, another suspected U.S. missile strike targeted a separate militant compound in North Waziristan, killing at least 10 people, Pakistani intelligence officials said.

ISLAMABAD – Missiles from U.S. drones slammed into militant hideouts overnight in northwestern Pakistan, killing 13 suspected insurgents and marking the resumption of the CIA-led program after a nearly sixmonth break, officials said Thursday.

The strikes were swiftly condemned by the Pakistani government, with the Foreign Ministry saying in a statement that they were a violation of Pakistan’s sovereignty and its territorial integrity.

The strikes came just days after a five-hour siege of Pa-

kistan’s busiest airport ended with 36 people, including ten militants, killed. The audacious attack raised concerns about whether Pakistan was capable of dealing with the Pakistani Taliban, which said it carried out the assault along with an Uzbek militant group.

It was not immediately clear if the drone strikes were connected to the airport attack. Pakistan routinely condemns drone strikes even when they target armed groups at war with the government.

The Pakistani government had asked the U.S. to refrain from drone strikes while it was trying to negotiate a peace deal with the militants, but even before the airport

LONDON – A British court ruled Thursday that the bulk of a terrorism trial can be held in secret on national security grounds, but rejected prosecutors’ attempt to impose secrecy on the entire case, from the selection of the jury to the identity of the defendants.

Media organizations had argued that would be a first in British legal history, and a dangerous precedent.

The case concerns two men who were arrested last year and charged with terrorism offenses. Prosecutors argued they would have to abandon the case if the trial could not be held in private and without naming the defendants.

Last month a judge agreed to the restrictions, but the ruling was challenged by the BBC and other media organizations. Their lawyer, Anthony Hudson, called the secrecy bid a “totally unprecedented departure from the principle of open justice.”

On Thursday three appeals judges ruled the case was “exceptional,” and that the core of the trial should be heard without the public present. They said they were convinced that “the administration of justice

would be frustrated if the trial were to be held in open court.”

But, in a victory for the media, they said some sections would be held in public, including the jury swearing-in, the reading of the charges, part of the prosecution’s opening statement and the verdicts.

A small number of journalists will be allowed to attend most of the proceedings, but not to report on them as they unfold. They will be subject to strict restrictions, including leaving their notebooks behind at the end of each day, and will not be able to report on the trial until a new court order is given.

The judges expressed “grave concern” about combining closed hearings with anonymous defendants, and ordered that the names of the suspects be released.

The defendants, previously named as AB and CD, were then identified as Erol Incedal and Mounir Rarmoul-Bouhadjar.

Incedal is charged with preparing an act of terrorism and possessing bomb-making instructions and Rarmoul-Bouhadjar with possessing the instructions and false identity documents. Details of their alleged crimes have not been made public.

BAGHDAD – Islamic militants who seized cities and towns vowed Thursday to march on Baghdad to settle old scores, joined by Saddam Hussein-era loyalists and other disaffected Sunnis capitalizing on the government’s political paralysis over the biggest threat to Iraq’s stability since the U.S. withdrawal.

Trumpeting their victory, the militants also declared they would impose Shariah law in Mosul and other areas they have captured.

In northern Iraq, Kurdish security forces moved to fill the power vacuum – taking over an air base and other posts abandoned by the military in the ethnically mixed city of Kirkuk. The move further raised concern the country could end up partitioned into Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish zones.

Three planeloads of Americans were being evacuated from a major Iraqi air base in Sunni territory north of Baghdad, U.S. officials said, and

Germany urged its citizens to immediately leave parts of Iraq, including Baghdad.

President Barack Obama said Iraq will need more help from the United States, but he did not specify what it would be willing to provide. Senior U.S. officials who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter by name said Washington is considering whether to conduct drone missions in Iraq.

The U.N. Security Council met on the crisis, underscoring the growing international alarm over the stunning advances by fighters from the militant group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.

Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had asked parliament to declare a state of emergency that would give him and his Shiite-led government increased powers to run the country, but the lawmakers failed to assemble a quorum.

OUR VIEW: THUMBS UP/THUMBS DOWN

Thumbs up to looking out for our students The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: to dedication of furthering the education of Joliet’s students.

A $200,000 donation to the Joliet Township High School Foundation from alumni David and Margaret Grohne was matched by fellow alumnus Brent Wadsworth; the $400,000 will bring the foundation’s endowment to $1 million.

The donations will fund grants and scholarships to enhance educational opportunities for students and staff, as well as help seniors pursue their education after graduating.

It’s wonderful to see alumni investing in the newest generation of students.

Thumbs down: to truckers who cut into funeral processions coming out of the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery. This practice, according to the cemetery’s director, has been reduced by the village of Elwood’s recent rerouting of semitrailer traffic away from Walter Strawn Drive.

This week, CenterPoint Properties, Union Pacific and APL Logistics filed a federal lawsuit contending the restrictions cause economic damages and violate federal law. The courts will decide who’s right. In the meantime, the trucking interests would appear to have a more legitimate claim if truckers weren’t breaking up funeral processions for our nation’s veterans.

Thumbs up: to Melanie Cabeen of Manhattan. Ever since Cabeen’s 4-year-old daughter Abby Genens was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes three years ago, Cabeen has gone all out to ensure her daughter has plenty of healthy tomorrows. She taught Abby the basics of diabetes self-care, including how to monitor her own blood sugar.

She placed the entire family on a diabetic-friendly diet so Abby doesn’t feel left out. She began a Facebook page for Abby at www.facebook.com/AbbyRoseType1Diabetic to raise awareness for the disease. She’s participated in clinical trials and, most recently, Cabeen has hosted a series of garage sales to raise money for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

One such garage sale is Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 25547 O’Connel Lane, Manhattan.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Lincoln knows how to win a campaign The word “campaign” has its origins in 17th-century battles, the term referring to an army’s field operations. By the beginning of the 19th century, “campaign” took on its current political meaning. And 150 years ago, it was aptly applied to both.

For on June 8, 1864, the delegates of the National Union Party, a hastily assembled group of Republicans and politicians known as War Democrats, gathered in Baltimore for its nominating convention. The Civil War Battle of the Wilderness was a month in the past, the Battle of Cold Harbor was coming to an end, the selection of Abraham Lincoln’s onetime top general, George B. McClellan, for the Democratic presidential nomination, nearly a dozen weeks off.

The two meanings of the word “campaign” converged in a calamitous way. The country was battered and bloodied. A year earlier Abraham Lincoln had elevated the war to a moral crusade, a fight now not only for Union but also for freedom.

Yet the killing continued, as did

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE David M. Shribman slavery. Lincoln had reason to fear that holding the moral high ground might not ensure that he held the country – or that he would continue to hold the White House.

The convention’s opening prayer June 8 conveyed some of the delegates’ mood, speaking as it did of the “shackles of oppression” and “the light of freedom and of liberty.” The platform resolved “not to compromise with Rebels” and was uncompromising on slavery, describing it as the cause of the war and calling for its “utter and complete extirpation from the soil of the Republic.”

Everywhere on the floor there was brave talk but little confidence.

You can read the proceedings today and be astonished at the high rhetoric. But you can thumb through the fourth volume of the Library of America’s anthology of letters and speeches from the war, this latest

from the conflict’s last year, and you will be struck less by how the convention rhetoric soared than by how the national spirit plunged.

America’s heart hurt, and the hurt reached the heart of America, in the Confederate states, of course, but in the North, as well.

Today, the name Leonard Swett, a Republican delegate from Illinois, is known only by Lincoln specialists.

The lawyer, whose name was spelled Sweat in the official transcript of the convention, was a native of Maine who settled in Illinois and was drawn into Lincoln’s circle, by some accounts becoming his confidante, at least on political matters. He knew Lincoln wanted to be re-nominated and was “much more eager for it than he was for the first one,” adding, “and yet from the first he discouraged all efforts on the part of his friends to obtain it.”

At the Baltimore convention, Swett rose to his feet and said, “Mr. Lincoln was our citizen, but when we gave him, then, to the country we

Seward that Lincoln couldn’t possibly be re-elected, as “People are wild for Peace.”

In the entire 886 pages of the Library of America anthology, there is no document more poignant than this one, dated Aug. 23, 1864, written from the executive mansion and quoted here in its sorrowful entirety: “This morning, as for some days past, it seems exceedingly probable that this Administration will not be re-elected. Then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President-elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration; as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.”

It is signed: A. Lincoln.

Lincoln pressed this memo in half, passed it among members of his cabinet, and insisted they sign the folded piece of paper without reading it.

The campaign went on, in both senses of the word.

ed the country to “malice toward none” and “charity for all,” as powerful a legacy as his Emancipation Proclamation.

The next month the war ended and Lincoln was assassinated. America’s sadness marched on, along with this truth: Lincoln won three of the most important campaigns in the nation’s history, two for himself, one for the North, but really all of them for the country he served and helped define.

‘Storm the Battleground’ at This Years Warrior Dash SPONSORED BY

On the weekend of June 14 and 15, 2014, The Dollinger Family Farm in Channahon will be transformed into a battleground for Warriors, as it once again hosts the Illinois Warrior Dash!

The Union’s General William Tecumseh Sherman entered Atlanta, the Confederacy’s Nathan Bedford Forrest mounted an attack on a Union supply base in Tennessee. The Democratic campaign that once called for an armistice shifted course as Sherman advanced and, as Election Day neared, the party’s core position – that Lincoln had presided over four years of failure – looked small-minded, and wrongheaded.

Lincoln took the November election, winning seven times as many states as McClellan and 10 times as many electoral votes. In one shining March moment the following year, he dedicat-

Warrior Dash is the world’s largest obstacle race series, held on the most rugged terrain across six countries and four continents. Participants will bound over fire, trudge through mud and scale over obstacles during this fierce 5K. Participants earn their Warrior title by crossing the finish line. After conquering the Battleground, Warriors celebrate with turkey legs, beer steins, and live music at a post-race party in a league of its own.

This year, Warrior Dash brings, “Goliath”, the largest obstacle in its history, along with newer and larger additions to the event, ensuring that the course and festival area offer exciting experiences for both first-time participants and seasoned Warriors.

Warriors endure this muddy mayhem to make a difference.

Over a million Warriors have stormed The Battleground and have raised $8.7 million (and counting) for St. Jude Children’s Hospital.

The money raised from participants in this year’s event in Channahon will go towards the 2015 opening of the St. Jude Red Frog Events Proton Therapy Center, which will be the first proton radiation therapy center in the world dedicated solely to children, designed specifically to meet the needs of young patients.

Registration details and more information can be found at WarriorDash.com.

Channahon and Minooka are great communities filled with fun activities, abundant natural spaces and homespun charm.

felt that our claims upon him were relieved; and now, more than ever, we feel that this Convention, in re-nominating him, has nominated not especially the child of Illinois, but the favored child of this great nation.”

It was a run-on sentence, but a sentence to run on.

The Lincoln Papers include a manuscript that is not in Lincoln’s hand, but that nonetheless quotes him saying he was gratified to have been deemed “not unworthy to remain in my present position.”

The double negative reflected his mood, and the country’s.

Shortly thereafter, a delegation from the convention descended upon the president, who said his re-nomination was less a “personal compliment” than a symbol of what he described as “a higher view of the interests

of the country for the present and the great future.” Then he added: “I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country; but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer, who remarked to a companion once that it was ‘not best to swap horses when crossing streams.’”

And yet the stream Lincoln was crossing was perilous indeed and, by midsummer, no one, especially the president, had a clear view of the perilous twin campaigns ahead – one military, one political. In the White House, Swett asked the president if he expected to be re-elected.

“Well,” Lincoln said, “I don’t think I ever heard of any man being elected to an office unless someone was for him.”

But it was not apparent that enough people were for him. On Aug. 22, Thurlow Weed, the prominent publisher and politico, wrote to Secretary of State William H.

Ever since the state baseball tournaments moved to Silver Cross Field several years ago, our dream has been to have multiple area teams qualify.

This has become one of those special seasons. Providence will shoot for the Class 4A championship and Lemont will pursue the 3A title.

The two teams reached state in different ways, but all that matters is they are here.

Lemont (33-5) has been outstanding all season, led by the battery of Jake Latz and Mike Papierski, both committed to Louisiana State and drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 11th and 16th rounds, respectively.

The hurdle the Indians had to clear was the Joliet Catholic Regional, where the Hilltoppers and Lincoln-Way West also were entered. The consensus during the season was all three were top-five teams in 3A. Lemont drew the No. 1 seed, and rightfully so. That meant the Indians played the Lincoln-Way West vs. JCA winner for the regional title. It turned out to be the Warriors, whom Latz and the Indians beat, 6-2.

We said all along it would be a shame if that regional winner did not play this weekend at Silver Cross Field.

Lemont has held up its end of the bargain and now ranks as one of the favorites, although declaring any team a favorite in baseball is risky business.

Lemont meets Metamora (26-12) in the semifinals at 10 a.m. Friday, with Sacred Heart-Griffin (37-3) and Grayslake Central (29-10) in the other semifinal.

Metamora lost its big-time pitcher, Trent Johnson, to injury during a 1-0 loss to JCA early in the season. The Redbirds struggled at times but have put it together in the postseason, including wins of 7-0 over East Peoria, and 3-0 over Washington in another loaded regional.

Alex Lewis (7-1, 1.31 ERA), who tossed a no-hitter against

Washington, probably will get the call in the semifinal. Lemont figures to have Charlie Wright (7-1, 0.77 ERA) on the mound, with Latz (9-0, 0.25 ERA, two earned runs, nine walks, 103 strikeouts) ready for the title game if the Indians get there.

Papierski, Jake Terrazas and Houston-bound Mike Wisz all boast gaudy offensive numbers and form the heart of the Indians’ lineup.

The crystal ball says a Lemont vs. Sacred-Heart Griffin final is in the offing.

But this is baseball, where anything can happen and usually does.

Unlike Lemont, Providence (26-14) rode a roller coaster during the season but has righted the ship at the perfect time. The Celtics, who meet Prairie Ridge (24-16) at 3 p.m.

Friday, have beaten quality opponents throughout the postseason, and senior Dylan Rosa has been nothing short of movie material.

In four of Providence’s five postseason games, Rosa has delivered the winning hit. Most recently, it was the walkoff three-run double that beat Edwardsville, 6-5, in the supersectional at the University of Illinois.

Rosa (3-2, 2.60 ERA) also has excelled on the mound and will be handed the ball against Prairie Ridge, with ace Jake Godfrey (6-6, 3.02) in line for Saturday’s championship game.

Rosa is hitting .403 with 14 doubles, two triples, 10 homers and 52 RBIs. Phil Kunsa is at .359 with 12 doubles, a triple, 11 homers and 46 RBIs. They form the heart of the Providence lineup, along with leadoff man Ben Salvador, who is hitting .382.

Rosa will face a team in Prairie Ridge that has not put up big offensive numbers but has received very good pitching.

Should Providence reach the title game, the opponent will be St. Rita (36-4) or South Elgin (24-10-1). St. Rita has been among the state’s best all season and certainly is a favorite to win two more.

However, South Elgin has a pitcher in Ryan Nutof (8-0, 0.39 ERA), who is committed to Michigan and could be a

Fire beat Police, but the charities are the real winners

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Bob Surinak is a good example of why the annual Joliet Police vs. Joliet Fire Ryder Cup golf challenge for charity is a winner.

Surinak got a call just before the event began Wednesday. The Fire had some injuries in its anticipated lineup.

Surinak, retired for eight years after 31-plus years as a fireman, normally plays exhibition matches with the retired group.

This year, however, the competition was expanded from 16 golfers a team to 22.

He was needed in the regular lineup and responded.

“He is here for all the right reasons,” said Rick Raasch, co-captain of the Police team who organized the event with the Fire’s John Stachelski.

“He stepped up as a retiree when they had some injuries.

He’s a quality guy.”

And, he went 3-0 in his matches Wednesday and Thursday at Inwood Park. It all meant adding his name to the Most Valuable Player trophy.

“That’s probably the best three rounds of golf in my life,” Surinak said. “I’m shocked to win this award. I know all these guys. It hits home.”

The Fire, which has lost only once in the 11 years of the event, prevailed, 13-9, in Thursday’s competitive singles matches and won, 25-14, overall.

Of course, the big winners are the charities. The Fire played for the Illinois Youth Burn Camp and the Police played for Big Brothers Big Sisters.

The participants not only pay for their greens fees and refreshments, they sell raffles tickets and donate to the charities on the first tee.

“We raised almost $1,500 on the tee box,” Raasch noted. “Overall we’re on a pace to raise more than $10,000 this year.”

If that happens, the total raised for charity in 11 years will top the $100,000 mark.

“At first we didn’t do much with raffles and that sort of thing,” said the Fire’s Terry Mangun, who along with

Joliet Fire Captain Fred Offerman tees off on the 11th hole during Wednesday’s round at Inwood Park. The Fire, once again, won the annual charity golf tournament Thursday, continuing its dominance in the event.

Joliet Police Lt. Kevin LaBolle hits on the 13th hole during Wednesday’s round. The Joliet Fire and the Joliet Police wrapped up their annual charity event Thursday.

Raasch is largely responsible for the event from the beginning. “The last five to eight years, we have really stepped it up. And everything we take in goes directly to charity.”

The singles winners for the Fire were Mike Bessette, Chuck Skeldon, Leon Trimmer, Mangun, Fred Of-

ferman, Brad North, Dave Chizmark, Joe Krupa, Scott Winkles, Paul Purcell, Dan Smith, Doug Frederick and Surinak.

Police winners included Mike Trafton, Rick Goepper, Jim Klancher, Scott Nicodemus, Mark Reid, Ryan Smith, Brian Prochaska, Brent Poce-

wicz, Doug Palmer and Eric Moyes.

“We ended up this year with a lot of close matches,” said Stachelski, noting that the handicap system introduced last year is working.

“That makes it fun for everybody.

“The 22 singles matches are the most ever. Now with the handicap, everyone can play and that’s nice.”

So is the camaraderie the event promotes.

“In a lot of cities, the police and firemen don’t get along that well,” Mangun said. “But we’ve had a lot of fun doing this. Guys who you may or may not know when you see them on the street, you get to know better out here.”

“I know any time I lose a singles match, I request to play that guy the next year, and my request is granted,” Offerman said. “You build a nice rivalry with guys on the other side, and when you make a lot of money for charity, it’s all good.”

Raasch said players had to

dig a little deeper into their pockets to play this year, yet they sold as many raffle tickets and donated as much themselves as ever before.

“That’s a true testament of what these guys are all about,” he said.

“Sure, there’s a lot of jousting in a competition between the Fire and Police. But they are all true city employees.

They care about their community. The way they care doesn’t always show in their day-to-day jobs, especially with the police, but in this you get to see it.”

Raasch said the young players on both sides just starting out in their jobs “are starting to realize that giving back is what you need to do.”

The retirees are helping drive home the point.

“I’ll bet if you talk to every retiree, it’s not the job they miss as much as it’s the camaraderie,” Polce team co-captain Rick Chizmark said. “It’s nice when an event like this can bring everyone back.”

As strong as McFarland was through seven innings, his teammates supported him with the leather.

Second baseman Jose Garcia went up as high as he could to snag Casey Roche’s line drive in the third inning.

Then to start the fourth, center fielder Chad Stang turned in back-to-back gems.

He ranged far into left-center field to cut off Wrenn’s line drive, the first hit off McFarland.

Stang laid a perfect onehop throw on the second base bag to nail Wrenn attempting to stretch it into a double.

The Slammers’ center fielder wasn’t finished. The next hitter, Rob Benedict, lined a shot into left-center.

Stang again showed his range and made a backhanded,

sprawling catch. It wasn’t quite the highlight-reel grab he made early in the second game of Wednesday’s doubleheader, but that one may be the catch of the year when all is said and done.

Joliet (11-13) was 4-1 on the homestand entering Thursday’s marathon. The blemish was an 8-3 setback in Game 2 Wednesday as Traverse City (11-13) exploded for five runs in the fifth against loser Matt Dillon and reliever Chase Doremus.

Stang, though, not only made his spectacular catch but had two hits in that one, including a two-run single.

The Slammers’ offense got down to business early

Thursday. Garcia reached on an error, advanced on Marquis Riley’s single and scored on Moldenhauer’s single for a 1-0 lead.

Joliet tacked on four more in the second on four hits.

Grant DeBruin, who had two hits in Game 2 Wedensday, got things rolling with a hit.

Singles by Stang and Max Casper loaded the bases. Tyler Grogg was hit by a pitch to score a run, Garcia reached on an error to knock one in and Riley singled home a pair.

Moldenhauer had three hits and Riley, Stang, Adam Lewis and Max Casper two each for the Slammers through 11 innings.

CLASS 3A BASEBALL STATE PREVIEW

Lemont aims to add to season of firsts

By SCOTT SCHMID schmid@shawmedia.com CRESTWOOD – In a season of firsts for Lemont’s baseball team, Monday’s moment at Standard Bank Stadium rates as the best to date.

But the Indians hope the celebration after their Class 3A supersectional victory pales in comparison to what could take place Saturday at Silver Cross Field.

Fresh off its first sectional championship in program history Saturday, Lemont punched its ticket to the state semifinals with an 11-1 win over De La Salle in six innings.

“The goal is always to get there,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said. “But now the goal is to win it, as it is for every team there. We have to stay grounded and understand the task at hand.”

Lemont plays Metamora in the 10 a.m. Friday state semifinal. Grayslake Central and Sacred Heart-Griffin meet in the other semifinal.

With two more victories, the Indians would secure the first boys team state championship in school history.

“At the beginning of the year, this was our main goal,” catcher Mike Papierski said.

“This team has really come to-

Indeed, in Lemont’s five postseason wins, the Indians have outscored the opposition, 35-4. They’ve also upped their victory total to 35, another program record.

“We have to pitch well, field well and hit well. We can’t beat ourselves.”

JOLIET – When a baseball team has pitching, offense and defense working in unison, it’s a beautiful thing.

When things go wrong, it’s quite the opposite.

The Joliet Slammers experienced both extremes Thursday, after leading 5-0 most of the night, they were on the verge of a stunning 6-5 loss to the Traverse City Beach Bums at Silver Cross Field.

But red-hot Russell Moldenhauer launched a two-out solo home run to right-center field in the bottom of the ninth, tying it at 6.

That produced the Slammers’ fourth extra-inning game in the past seven. It still was tied at 6 in the 12th in-

ning at press time.

Slammers right-hander Kody McFarland (2-1) was masterful.

He faced the minimum through five innings and shut out the Beach Bums through seven, sailing into the eighth with a 5-0 lead.

Traverse City strung four singles to open the eighth, knocking out McFarland and making it 5-1. A run scored on a double play and another single made it 5-3. After a walk, reliever Ryan Connolly escaped without further damage.

In the ninth, however, Jeff DeBlieux’s RBI triple, Taylor Wrenn’s sacrifice fly and Jovan Rosa’s single off Slammers closer Jordan Wellander produced a 6-5 Traverse City lead.

STARS will come out Saturday at Grundy SUBMITTED REPORTS MORRIS – The STARS National Midgets presented

by D’Arcy GMC return to Grundy County Speedway on Saturday night for a twinbill that features two 36-lap features in the 10th annual Don Carter Sr./Jim Anderson Classic.

Because of Saturday night’s washout, the STARS National Midgets, INEX Legends and Classic Modifieds will run double features. The CSR Mini Cups and the Allison Legacy Series also are part of the agenda. Each will run a 20-lap feature.

The STARS National Midget race honors two Illinois auto racing legends that made their mark in midget racing: Carter as a racing of-

ficial/push truck driver and Anderson as a car owner. In fact, Anderson’s son, Jimmy, the three-time consecutive STARS National Midget champion, will be competing in the event in the familiar red, white and blue No. 36.

Anderson, who has never won the event, has finished second in five of the nine editions of the Carter/Anderson Classic. Though Anderson has won many races and championships during his 18 seasons as a midget racer, this event has a deeper, special meaning to him.

“This race is obviously very personal to me,” Anderson said. “Having finished second a number of times, we’re always looking to improve our finishing position.

No matter what happens on

the track, I’m just looking to have a good time with family and friends and pay tribute to my dad who was involved in midget racing in this [Joliet] area since the mid-1960s.”

The drivers and cars from the rained-out event already have their starting spots in the first feature set based on the qualifying results from last week.

In Saturday’s qualifying, Avon, Indiana driver Austin Prock set quick time with a lap of 14.332 seconds.

The gates will open at 5 p.m. Saturday. Qualifying begins at 5:30. Racing starts at 6:15 with last week’s features being run first.

Adult general admission is $12. Children ages 5 to 12 get in for $2, while kids age 4 years and younger are free.

U.S. OPEN

Martin Kaymer seizes U.S. Open lead with 65 in first round

By PAUL NEWBERRY The Associated Press PINEHURST, N.C. – There was something unusual in the opening round of the U.S. Open.

A bunch of scores in the 60s.

The best one of all was turned in by Martin Kaymer.

His confidence spurred by a win at The Players Championship, Kaymer birdied three of the last five holes Thursday for a 5-under-par 65, the lowest score from any of the three Opens played at Pinehurst No. 2.

The German got up and down for par at the 18th hole, rolling in a testy 6-foot putt to beat the 66 shot by Sweden’s Peter Hedblom during the second round in 2005.

Graeme McDowell, Kevin Na and Brendon de Jonge were three shots back.

Kaymer beat a loaded field at The Players last month, snapping a stretch of 29 tournaments without a victory stretching over 18 months.

“I needed a win,” Kaymer said. “Whether it was The Players or a regular PGA Tour event, I just needed it

Martin Kaymer, of Germany, watches his tee shot on the 14th hole Thursday during the first round of the U.S. Open in Pinehurst, N.C. Kaymer leads the field after scoring at 65. for my confidence, for all the hard work I’ve put in the last couple of years.”

Ten other players were in the clubhouse at 69, meaning there were more under-par rounds in this opening round than the past two years combined.

At Merion a year ago, only five players broke par Thursday.

At Olympic Club in 2012, there were just six scores in the 60s.

No one expected Pinehurst to stay this inviting through

the weekend.

“There was some moisture on the greens and you were able to hold shots,” Na said.

“I was able to capitalize on a good tee time. But there’s a long way to go. Obviously, I’m 2-under par right now, but at the end of the tournament even par is going to win this championship.”

That’s still a good bet.

The last two Open champions finished over par.

Phil Mickelson got off to a strong start as well in his bid for the career Grand Slam, at-

tacking the course with deft iron shots on the way to a 70.

McDowell, who won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach in 2010, was as steady as can be on this Donald Ross masterpiece, which has undergone a drastic makeover to restore its rustic look, with patches of natural vegetation – better known as weeds – taking the place of thick, lush rough.

The Northern Irishman bounced back from his only bogey at No. 4 with an eagle 3 at the par-five fifth hole. He added another birdie at the 14th and the rest of his card was filled in with pars, just the sort of solid, mistake-free golf that is required in the U.S. Open.

“You don’t have to strike it amazing around here,” McDowell said. “You just have to position the ball correctly at all times.”

Na also made an eagle at No. 5 on the way to the best Open round of his career. He missed the cuts in 2010 and 2011, and finished 9 over at his last Open two years ago.

After thick cloud cover made things easier for the morning players, the blistering sun broke through and

the temperature climbed to 90 by mid-afternoon. Still, there were low scores to be had, with 20-year-old Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson, Matt Kuchar and Henrik Stenson among the big group at 69.

Not everyone was thriving. The world’s top-ranked player, Adam Scott, shot 73.

Masters champion Bubba Watson sprayed shots all over the place on the way to a 76.

Spieth was in the thick of things again, making four birdies to put himself in contention at another major championship. He was tied for the lead heading to the final round of both the Masters and The Players Championship, but couldn’t close out either on Sunday.

It seems just a matter of time before the young Texan claims a career-defining triumph.

Maybe it will be at Pinehurst.

“I had a lot of fun today.

You don’t normally say that at the U.S. Open,” Spieth said.

“I was able to get into the flow early, and able to keep it going. One-under – I would take that four times.”

Indoor OTA takes healing Hayden back to the start

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – The gray clouds hanging above Walter Payton Center on Wednesday were silent but powerful.

They pushed Bears practice underneath the dome and cornerback Kelvin Hayden into a backpedal on the patch of turf where football first felt possible again.

Last November, three months after he suffered a season-ending hamstring tear in training camp, Hayden came to the dome to try to start over.

Hayden started running striders. They felt easy, and his trainers were impressed, so he pushed harder. He moved faster. It all felt right.

He remembers standing at the 40-yard-line when he knew he had a chance.

“You hear so many things about the injury,” he said.

“Guys don’t come back 100 percent. Guys do come back even better. I just didn’t know where I was going to fall into place yet. My first day out here running, it was just like, ‘Man, I’ve come a long way.’ I’ve put in the work. And to see the after effect of the work you put in, it was an emotional moment.”

Hayden has come a long way, but he knows he can’t lose sight of how much farther he has to go. The Bears rewarded his progress in February with a contract, but it is set to expire after this season. They brought him back, but also drafted a first-round cornerback in Virginia Tech’s Kyle Fuller, who recently has received reps with the first-team nickel defense, like Hayden did before his injury.

“This is a business,” he said, shrugging. “But I know what I can do.”

Before last season, one he spent Bears games lying still in bed, Hayden was a defender who could make some noise. In 2012, his first season with the Bears after coming over from the Falcons, Hayden tied for the NFL lead in fumble recoveries. The Bears rewarded him with another one-year deal. Step by step, the Hubbard High School graduate was starting to make a name in his hometown at the highest level of football.

Then came one play in August at Soldier Field. Hayden tore his hamstring to the point where that it separated from the bone. For six weeks, he couldn’t even move his legs.

“It was kind of my moti-

vation as well,” Hayden said.

“Is this going to be the break of you, or are you going to accept the challenge and better yourself?”

The return back started with diet. He returned home from surgery to a nutritionist who had a plan for his every calorie. The steps to standing and walking came slow and under careful supervision.

Eventually, tired of being the forgotten Bear, Hayden asked his trainers if he could try running, and they came to this field.

On Wednesday, Hayden said his body felt to be at 100 percent and that his feet actually were quicker than before the injury. They might need to be if he wants to circle back to a starting nickel position in what now is a crowded secondary.

It’s a question that will be answered in the coming weeks, not right this moment.

Hayden is willing to take each step.

“You come to a point where you know football isn’t forever,” Hayden said. “You’ve been playing this game for a long time, since you were a kid. You want to hold on as long as you can. I’m pretty sure everybody wants that.”

‘They pretty much take care of themselves’ Nonprofit organization Wild Ones of Will County supports native plant gardening

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Dr. Sheldon Nicol of Shorewood glanced out his window and there it was: the first hummingbird of the season.

Hummingbirds, songbirds, monarchs and other butterflies – these are just some of the perks to planting a 5,000-square-foot garden full of native plants, said Nicol, vice president of the newly established Wild Ones of Will County.

“To me, there’s something exciting about the fact that these are the Midwestern plants that have done so well here,” Nicol said. “It’s getting back to what was here before.”

Wild Ones, which, according to its website at www. wildones.org, is a nonprofit, environmental education and advocacy organization, whose members advocate the use of native plants and natural landscaping. It was established in 1979, the website also said, and now has more than 50 chapters in the United States.

The Will County chapter began in January, Nicol said, after 20 members from the DuPage chapter decided to form one close to home. This would give, Nicol added, other native gardeners the same opportunity to share information with new and experienced gardeners, listen to guest speakers and enjoy the camaraderie of others sharing their interests.

Nicol knew Will County residents would be interested.

Two years ago, when Nicol’s garden was featured in Timmy’s Garden Walk, an annual fundraiser for Joliet Area Community Hospice’s pediatric program, quite a few people expressed an interest in native plants, he said.

“Driving around, I’ve

Dr. Sheldon S. Nicol is seen among Coreopsis flowers planted in front of his Shorewood home June 6. For the past eight years Nicol has planted native plants around his property.

A bee is seen on a Coreopsis flower in a flowerbed at Nicol’s Shorewood home June 6. seen a couple of subdivisions in Shorewood with native plants around the retention ponds,” Nicol said. “Frankfort has a lot of native plants in their parks and, of course, there’s Midewin.”

Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie is where Nicol, an avid gardener for most of his life, started learning about native plants almost a decade ago. Its visitor’s cen-

ter, Nicol said, is full of helpful information.

“So, I went down to Midewin and bought a couple of books,” Nicol said.

Nicol learned native plants had many advantages.

They are drought and pest resistant, having adapted to the area in which they live. With careful planning of a dozen varieties, native gardens will have something blooming

from April through October, Nicol said.

“For example, Prairie Smoke and Shootingstar are now blooming,” Nicol said.

“Earlier in the spring, it was Virginia bluebells.”

During the first year, native plants do need a bit of babying – water, weeding and such – but only until they develop healthy root systems, Nicol said. No further watering is necessary, except, perhaps, in a drought, Nicol said.

“Once they get established, they pretty much take care of themselves,” Nicol said.

This last reason was especially attractive to Nicol, a retired Joliet-area internal medicine doctor, who wanted to continue enjoying the beauty of a large garden with less of the extensive maintenance it required. So, Nicol started with a small plot and began phasing out the regular garden.

“Right now, I’ve got 25 types of blooming plants and about five types of native

grasses. I don’t even plant new plants but every year, I get more,” Nicol said. “I still have some traditional shrubs and perennials, and sometimes I’ll stick a few annuals here and there, some petunias and marigolds.”

Ann Ayer of New Lenox, Wild Ones of Will County president, came into native plants by inheritance: they accompanied the New Lenox home she bought in 2011, when Ayer moved from North Carolina, where she had worked as a county planner.

Ayer said members asked her to serve the first chapter president.

“I’m retired from the [U.S.] Navy, six years active and 15 in the reserve,” Ayer said. “I think they thought I could keep the ball rolling.”

Ayer wants people to know that Wild Ones of Will County is not a club for native planting experts, but an organization for anyone interested in native plants, even those with no experience.

From other members, people will learn how to create a beautiful home landscape that doesn’t resemble a “weed lawn,” as well as the advantages of living life lawn-mower free, which is more than not having to cut the grass on Saturday morning, Ayer said.

“When you mow your lawn, you put as much emissions in the air as 11 new cars running for one hour,” Ayer said.

Ayer said her native shade garden is rich in trillium, Jack-in-the-Pulpit and at least a dozen other varieties of native plants.

Such plants, because of their evolution to an area, tend to thrive even during city watering restrictions, she added.

“And when we have 17 below zero weather for seven days straight,” Ayer said, “they won’t die.”

“HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON” STARRING: Jay Baruchel, Cate Blanchett, Gerard Butler

PLOT: When Hiccup and Toothless discover an ice cave that is home to hundreds of new wild dragons and the mysterious Dragon Rider, the two friends find themselves at the center of a battle to protect the peace.

RATED: PG for adventure action and some mild rude humor TIME: 1 hour, 42 minutes VERDICT: You thought it was tricky to train a dragon? It’s even trickier to take a much-admired animated film and make a sequel that feels satisfying and worthwhile. It’s nice to be able to report that “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” written and directed by Dean DeBlois, does all that tricky stuff pretty darned well.

And you’ll be happily surprised at the new twists it takes – sort of like getting an unexpected second candy bar in the vending machine. “How to Train Your Dragon 2” doesn’t play it safe, and that’s why it’s the rare sequel that doesn’t feel somewhat stale. The story returns us to Berk, where our young Viking hero, Hiccup (again voiced by Jay Baruchel), lives and frolics with his devoted dragon, Toothless, whom he befriended in the first movie, with momentous ramifications for human-dragon relations. Five years have passed, and now Berk is a virtual playground for dragons and Vikings alike. Hiccup, though, isn’t into the games – he’s attracted to the beautiful skies and spends his time exploring them, aboard Toothless, adding to the map he’s making of the world. His first scene of airborne frolic with Toothless is absolutely beautiful, and a sign of the visual delights to come.

Hiccup’s restless nature, though, is at odds with the aspirations of his burly father, Stoick the Vast (a sweetly gruff Gerard Butler), who wants Hiccup to take up new responsibilities.

But Hiccup doesn’t feel leadership is really his thing. That’s what he tells spunky Astrid (America Ferrera, back from the first film), who is now his girlfriend, as well as a fellow explorer. (Other famous returning voices are Jonah Hill as Snotlout and Kristen Wiig as Ruffnut.) One day Hiccup and Astrid make an ominous discovery: A trapper’s fort. Eret, son of Eret (Kit Harington) is cocky and ambitious.

But his boss? He’s evil. That would be Drago Bludvist (Djimon Hounsou), a vicious villain who’s building a

dragon army. Hiccup resolves to stop him. And someone else, he learns – a mysterious figure in the skies – is also fighting Drago. Her name is Valka, and she is, shockingly, none other than Hiccup’s mother, long presumed dead. In fact, Valka – voiced by Cate Blanchett in an elegant, otherworldly accent – has spent these long years saving dragons. For a while, it seems like a perfect family reunion.

But happiness is short-lived. Valka doesn’t believe, as her family does, that dragons can live with humans – humans can be too cruel. And Drago, with his violent plans, is proving her right. Without giving away too much, this is where the film travels into darker areas than its predecessor, displaying an admirable maturity.

Many animated tales involve dashing acts of bravery, but rarely do they show the possible tragic consequences of such acts. Many tears will be shed over the scene where Hiccup learns that bad things can happen to good people. And there’s another lesson here, too: People – or creatures – who love you sometimes can still hurt you. Animated films for kids don’t routinely address such matters.

Kudos to the creators here, who took a terrific first film and made a sequel that, both visually and thematically, lives up to that promise.– The

“22 JUMP STREET” STARRING: Channing Tatum, Jonah Hill, Ice Cube

PLOT: After making their way through high school (twice), big changes are in store for officers Schmidt and Jenko when they go deep undercover at a local college.

RATED: R for language throughout, sexual content, drug material, brief nudity and some violence TIME: 1 hours, 52 minutes VERDICT: Things are always worse the second time around, the deputy police chief warns the buddy-cop team of Jenko and Schmidt in “22 Jump Street.” He’s talking about their next assignment, but of course, it’s an inside joke – with the audience. “22 Jump Street,” starring the inspired comic duo of Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, is a sequel, and movie sequels are indeed often worse (especially when, as the chief also points out, the budget’s bigger the second time around.) Self-referential jokes aside, things aren’t worse the second time around for Hill,

Tatum and directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. Not that this film is perfect – some jokes go too far, too long or both. One running gag involving prison sex is gratuitous, ill-advised, unfunny, and, well, we’d say more but three adjectives are enough. Many more jokes, though – spoken and visual – succeed beautifully. And the cast? It’s a pretty heavenly group, anchored of course by Hill and Tatum, who have a Laurel-and-Hardy-like implausible chemistry that keeps you laughing pretty much no matter what they’re doing. If you never saw “21 Jump Street,” no worries – the filmmakers bring you up to speed fast. The last film saw Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt (Hill) go undercover to high school. This time, it’s college they’re ordered to infiltrate, to thwart a nasty drug ring. (“I’m the first person in my family to pretend to go to college,” Jenko says proudly.) It’s part of the joke that the pasty, pudgy Schmidt, especially, hardly looks college-age and doesn’t really try, despite his need to blend in. “Tell us about the war – ANY of them,” one student, Mercedes (a terrific Jillian Bell), says to him mockingly. Even less plausible than Schmidt being an undergrad: that the exquisitely gorgeous art major Maya, Mercedes’ roommate (Amber Stevens), would somehow hook up with him, when he’s nothing but bumbling in her presence. But, as they say in college, whatever. Maybe she’s blown away by his (terrible, and very funny) attempt at slam poetry.

The college setting provides its usual comic fodder, starting with a cute montage involving things you need to live in college dorms: Popup laundry hampers, bean-bag chairs, lava lamps, shower poofs, a bacon machine (don’t ask.)

There’s also the obligatory frat house, which sets up the amusing BFF relationship between studly Jenko and studly frat leader Zook (Wyatt Russell, who brings to mind a younger Owen Wilson.) Jenko bonds easily with Zook, who lures him onto the football team, where Jenko succeeds dramatically. The two bond so well that Jenko and Schmidt have a sort of buddy-cop breakup. “Maybe we should, you know, investigate other people,” Jenko tells a wounded Schmidt.

But the guys need to crack the drug case – money’s running out,

according to their supervising captain, Dickson, played by Ice Cube in a humorous performance that seethes all kinds of rage – professional, personal, you name it. And so, tracking down the villains, we eventually arrive in – of course, Mexico, for spring break!

There, watch for a weirdly hilarious fistfight between Schmidt and one of the characters we’ve mentioned earlier. It’s one of the film’s best scenes, but no scene in the film proper rivals the closing credits – a sendup of sequels which includes its own notable celebrity cameo and is alone worth the price of admission. Will there be a “23 Jump Street”? If things are always worse the second time, wouldn’t they be even worse the third? With Lord and Miller’s track record, that’s hardly a given. – The Associated

Press

“EDGE OF TOMORROW” STARRING: Tom Cruise, Emily Blunt, Bill Paxton

PLOT: An officer finds himself caught in a time loop in a war with an alien race. His skills increase as he faces the same brutal combat scenarios, and his union with a Special Forces warrior gets him closer and closer to defeating the enemy.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action and violence, language and brief suggestive material TIME: 1 hour, 43 minutes VERDICT: The time-shifting sci-fi thriller “Edge of Tomorrow” has perfectly encapsulated what it is to be a summertime moviegoer. We’re dropped into a battlefield of digital effects with the fate of the world at stake. Torrents of gunfire and explosions surround. Some alien clonks us over the head. We black out, and it all happens again. And again. “Edge of Tomorrow,” in which Tom Cruise plays an officer who continually relives a day of combat against extraterrestrials, probably isn’t a commentary on the repetitiveness of today’s blockbusters. Its star, after all, has been the unchanging, unstoppable avatar of big summer movies.

But in the film directed by Doug Liman (“Swingers,” “The Bourne Identity”), the action-star persona of Cruise is put into a phantasmagorical blender. As military marketer Maj. William Cage, he’s thrown into battle against his will by an unsympathetic general (the excellent Brendan Glee-

son), and then finds himself stuck in a mysterious time loop. Cruise dies dozens of times over and over, often in comical ways. Does this sound like a great movie, or what? The selling point of “Edge of Tomorrow” may indeed be seeing one of Hollywood’s most divisive icons reduced to Wile E. Coyote. Dying again and again, Cruise has rarely been so likable. –

“THE FAULT IN OUR STARS” STARRING: Shailene Woodley, Ansel Elgort, Nat Wolff

PLOT: Hazel and Gus are two teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional and a love that sweeps them on a journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous given that Hazel’s other constant companion is an oxygen tank, Gus jokes about his prosthetic leg and they met and fell in love at a cancer support group.

RATED: PG-13 for thematic elements, some sexuality and brief strong language TIME: 2 hours, 5 minutes VERDICT: Happily, we can report that “The Fault in Our Stars” is, despite the occasional misstep in tone, largely a solid success – a film that not only manages the transition from page to screen nicely, but also navigates with skill that hugely tricky line between the touching and the trite, the moving and the maudlin. And that latter task ain’t easy. But there’s one major reason that the movie succeeds in this regard. Her name is Shailene Woodley. She’s established herself so firmly as one of our most interesting and yet also most grounded, honest young actors. Her mere presence lends an air of authenticity to whatever else is happening onscreen. And now we must inform you, dear moviegoer: About three-quarters of the way through, if not sooner, you’ll start hearing sniffles, then sobs. And it’s hard to imagine you, too, won’t succumb. And that’s because of Woodley. “The world is not a wish-granting factory,” Gus says. No, but in finding a young actress who can make an audience fall apart while her character somehow remains fairly together herself, the filmmakers certainly saw their own wish granted. – The

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

If he errs, take advantage

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jef Mallett, the “Frazz” cartoonist, said, “Writing well means never having to say, ‘I guess you had to be there.’”

When the defenders play perfectly, declarer is sometimes unable to make his contract. On other deals, though, a defender will fail to find the killing play.

Then declarer needs to take full benefit.

In this deal, West cashes three club tricks against four hearts.

He then shifts to a diamond. How should South continue?

A four-heart opening bid usually indicates an eight-card suit. However, South decided to tell a small white lie because he was nonvulnerable and the opponents were vulnerable. West wondered if his side could do well, but he had too few points to act at the four-level. North and East had easy passes.

When West had to guess which suit to lead at trick four, he decided that South would be more likely to pre-empt when very short in the other major. Hence his diamond lead. (As you can see, a spade switch would have been lethal.)

Now let’s look at South’s predicament. He needs to take three pointed-suit tricks to go with his seven trump winners. Should he finesse in spades or in diamonds?

Either is a pure guess. But he can slightly improve his chances.

He should win with dummy’s diamond ace, ruff a diamond in his hand, cash the heart ace, play a heart to dummy’s nine and ruff another diamond.

Here, the king comes tumbling down. So South can draw trumps and claim. But if the diamond king does not appear, declarer can run his trumps, planning to fall back on the spade finesse.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I’m a married father with a son 19 months old, and a baby girl on the way. While I couldn’t be more excited about my daughter’s impending arrival, I’m unsure about whether there is a right time to stop doing things like changing a diaper or seeing my daughter unclothed because she’s a girl and I’m not.

I come from a conservative family, but because this is a new experience for me, I’m not sure how to go about it. I know this dynamic changes when these roles are occupied by a mother and her son, and that a little boy is probably older by the time the transition occurs. I don’t want to end up in a position where my wife or daughter regrets my involvement in some aspects of my daughter’s life. Any thoughts? – Expectant Dad In New York Dear Expectant Dad: Fathers have become far more involved

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips in child-rearing in recent years than they were in generations past, and it’s a wonderful thing.

You should not be worried that changing your daughter’s diapers or giving her a bath will scar her emotionally. In fact, the opposite is true. Discuss this with your wife and your daughter’s pediatrician, and I’m sure they will allay your fears.

As to when you should stop seeing your daughter unclothed, you have years before that may become necessary.

Dear Abby: I have been working as a desk clerk at a motel in Montana for several years. With travel season here, I was hoping you could help your readers who find

themselves on the road to avoid sleepless nights and headaches.

Several times a year many of the accommodations on the interstate can be fully booked due to weather or local events, and travelers are sometimes forced to drive several hundred miles to find a room for the night. You can help your readers by reminding them that they should start checking on motel occupancy early in the day, or even the day before, if they know where they would like to stop for the night.

That way, situations like this can be avoided. – On The Road Again Dear On The Road: Thank you for the suggestion. Many of my readers take road trips during the summer months, and I hope they’ll remember your letter before they head for the highways.

Treat peripheral artery disease with lifestyle changes Dear Doctor K: I have PAD. It sounds like coronary artery disease of the legs. Is the treatment similar too?

Dear Reader: You’re right: It’s the same disease – atherosclerosis – in different arteries. In atherosclerosis, cholesterol-filled growths, called plaques, grow inside the artery. They block the flow of blood through blood vessels. In coronary artery disease (CAD), atherosclerosis blocks blood flow to the heart. In peripheral artery disease (PAD), plaque builds up in the arteries of the legs and feet, restricting blood flow to those areas. (I’ve put an illustration showing normal and restricted blood flow in the legs on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Marc Bonaca, a cardiologist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He cautioned that in addition to narrowing blood vessels, atherosclerosis increases the risk of blood clots.

For example, a blood clot or a piece of a cholesterol-filled plaque can split off from an artery (such as the body’s largest artery, the aorta). Then it travels in the bloodstream to an artery in the leg. If it gets wedged into a part of the leg artery that is narrowed by atherosclerosis, suddenly the

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff blood supply to the leg can stop.

That’s a medical emergency.

A blood clot that lodges in the leg can kill off tissue and possibly require amputation.

What’s more, narrowed leg arteries are often a sign of atherosclerosis throughout the body.

That means you are at increased risk of heart attack or stroke.

Treatment starts with lifestyle changes: • Adopt a heart-healthy diet.

• Quit smoking.

• Take medicines to control high blood pressure, cholesterol and diabetes.

You should also exercise regularly. Movement improves circulation in the legs. The more you exercise your legs, the greater the blood supply they need. That gradually causes your leg arteries to widen and provide more blood to the legs. As your increased blood supply develops, the same exercise that may have caused leg pain in the past often no longer does. Regular exercise is key to easing symptoms and regaining mobility.

Before you start any exercise program, check with your doctor.

The proper program for you requires knowledge of how severe the atherosclerosis is in your legs. A program that works for many people is to start with a halfhour walk several times a week.

Over time, you should be able to walk farther and longer without discomfort.

Your doctor may prescribe new anti-platelet medications, which can help prevent blood clots in the legs.

But sometimes severely narrowed arteries cause extreme pain or threaten the health of your leg or foot. In this case, you may need an angioplasty and stent placement procedure to restore blood flow. The procedure is similar to that done in CAD patients. The doctor will thread a catheter through a blood vessel and into the blocked leg artery. He or she will briefly inflate a small balloon to open the narrowed artery, leaving behind a wire mesh stent to keep the artery open.

Teen wants to remain virgin until marriage Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and have quite a few girlfriends, and I’m active in school activities. Many of my close friends talk about sexual encounters with their boyfriends. All I do is listen because I can’t join in the conversation because I’ve never been sexually involved with a guy.

My friends know this and they tease me about being a virgin.

They keep saying, “You don’t know what you are missing.”

I’ve been dating a guy for a while, and there are times that he is sexually “frisky,” but I keep him under control. I’m not asking you if I should remain a virgin because it’s what I choose, not what you say, and I know what you would say.

If I had asked you, I’m sure you would have told me not to have sex.

But what I really want you to do is tell me all the reasons why a girl should not lose her virginity before she gets married. I really want to hear what you have to say. – Nameless, San Diego, Calif.

Dear Nameless: Many times your peers can give much better responses than I. Please read the following letter. The message is loud and clear: Dr. Wallace: I’ve been reading your column for quite some time, but I never, ever, dreamed that I would be writing to you. Actually, I’m addressing my letter to all the teenage girls who read your column. I hope I can spare them the misery I went through concerning sex.

When I was 16, all

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace of my close girlfriends were sexually active with their boyfriends.

Me? I was the lone virgin. Soon they were encouraging me to have sex so I could share in the interesting “group discussions.”

I thought I was ready and in love with Richard, so one night I said yes. Well, I found out that Richard didn’t really love me and soon he was calling me only when he wanted sex.

Not only that, he soon was telling his friends that I was an easy mark and I guess that I was.

I had sex with many of his friends. I honestly believed that each guy really liked me and that having sex was a way of showing true affection. How wrong I was!

Girls, I plead with you not to get sexually active because you want to know what sex is all about or you feel you are missing out on something special.

Believe me, you are not. The time will come when you are truly in love and mature enough to enter into a relationship. Hopefully, it will be after you say, “I do,” to your husband. – Nameless, Albuquerque, N.M. • Dr. Robert Wallace welcomes questions from readers.

“How to Train Your Dragon 2” is a 3-D adventure that still soars.

‘How to Train Your Dragon 2’: A 3-D adventure that still soars

By STEPHANIE MERRY The Washington Post There is an unbearably adorable moment at the start of any 3-D children’s movie when the first frames hit the screen and the little ones in the audience let out a collective “woooooow” as they reach up to touch the images coming at them. This is, for better or worse, the highlight of some 3-D fare. But in “How to Train Your Dragon 2,” that moment is really just an auspicious beginning for a riveting, moving and beautifully animated film.

It’s understandable if you approach this sequel with some resignation.

You’ll take the kids to see it because it’s the only option, and the fact that writer-director Dean DeBlois already has plans for a third and possibly fourth installment isn’t necessarily heartening – another franchise proving the law of diminishing returns, you might mutter.

But the follow-up to the 2010 blockbuster, based on books by Cressida Cowell about a dragon rider and his beloved pet, shows sequel-makers how to do it right.

The movie begins five years after the last one ended. The Celtic island of Berk has become a safe haven and breeding ground for dragons; there’s even a basketball-like sport involving dragon riders using sheep to score points.

(PETA may not entirely approve of this particular scene, animated or not.)

But while the whole island watches the tourney, self-appointed cartographer Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel) and his pet night fury, Toothless – batlike with Zooey Deschanel-size eyes – are exploring far-flung destinations. Both are still dealing with injuries suffered in the first movie – Hiccup has a metal prosthesis – but that doesn’t slow them down.

On one of these adventures, the beanpole of a young man stumbles upon an island made of spiky ice that’s home to some unsavory characters. They’re dragon hunters led by Eret (Kit Harington), and they spend their days rounding up fire-breathers for a mysterious overlord named Drago, who clearly has sinister intentions. There’s hope for taking on Drago, though. Hiccup joins forces with a masked dragon rider whose identity won’t be revealed here, except to say that she’s voiced by Cate Blanchett and has a real dream job: She’s the zookeeper of a massive dragon sanctuary.

“How to Train Your Dragon 2” is brimming with action while remaining mercifully straightforward. The undoing of many a sequel lies in its insistence on introducing multiple enemies to up the ante. There’s none of that here.

Meanwhile, the movie manages to tackle themes of growing up and finding independence; coming to terms with one’s heritage; forgiveness; and how to properly care for a pet. Anyone with a cat, dog, ferret or guinea pig will probably melt

when Toothless jumps on Hiccup and doles out some big sloppy kisses.

The movie is also funny. During most conversational scenes, you might notice dragons in the background doing silly things. And one running joke involves the boorish Ruffnut (Kristen Wiig) as she pines over Eret, her eyes going googly in slow-mo as she says, “Me likey.”

The animation is splendid, whether it’s showing the acrobatics of dragon riders or a swirl of flying animals of all shapes, sizes and colors doing laps around the sanctuary. But it’s not all pristine. The movie shows, believably, the grime of living in this fantastical rough-and-tumble world. Nearly all the characters are dirty, maimed or both.

There are a few moments toward the movie’s climax when things slow down just enough to make the little ones restless. (The novelty of 3-D wears off quickly, regardless of age.) But before you know it, the movie picks up the pace again to deliver a solid finale.

This may be the first and last time anyone says this, but if “How to Train Your Dragon 2” is this good, why stop at 3 and 4?

• “How to Train Your Dragon 2” received three-and-a-half stars out of four.

It is rated PG and contains adventure, action and some mild rude humor. The film runs 102 minutes.
