Judge rules interview can be used in trial

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A judge decided Thursday that a police interview with one of the suspects accused in the Hickory Street killings can be used against him in trial.

Will County Judge Gerald Kinney said Joshua F. Miner was aware he was waiving his Miranda rights when he spoke with a Joshua F. detective at the Joliet police Miner station.

While Miner, 25, asked, “Is there anyway I can get a pd [public defender] or something” to Det. Patrick Schumacher after signing the interview form, he agreed to continue

answering questions when the detective replied it would take some time, according to arguments from the prosecutor and defense attorney.

“Miranda set ground rules for police interrogation to prevent overreaching or misconduct,” Kinney said. “[Miner’s] statements are not unequivocal requests for counsel.”

Miner and two other defendants face murder charges for the Jan. 10, 2013, strangling deaths of Eric Glover and Terrence Rankins, both 22.

Also charged are Adam M. Landerman and Bethany L. McKee, who are awaiting trial.

A fourth defendant in the case, Alisa Massaro, pleaded guilty in May to lesser charges of robbery and concealing a homicide. She was sentenced to 10 years in

prison and agreed to testify against the other defendants.

Miner’s hearing to have his statements to police barred as evidence began Monday when Kinney was given a recording of his interrogation from the police department. Miner was reportedly kept at the station for nearly a day, but was given a meal and bathroom breaks and a chance to sleep for several hours, according to Assistant Public Defender Lea Norbut and Assistant Will County State’s Attorney John Connor.

Norbut argued that questioning should have stopped when Miner asked about the public defender, but Connor said Schumacher was clear about going over the suspect’s rights. “[Schumacher] said, ‘I don’t know if I can get one right now,’ he didn’t gloss it

Dog breaks into home, attacks cat; Will Co. deputy shoots dog

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – A dog that escaped from its owner and leaped through the storm door of a neighbor’s house to maul a cat was shot to death as it charged a Will County Sheriff’s deputy.

The deputy, responding to a call of a vicious dog at 19218 W. Jacquie Ave., found the homeowner and a neighbor struggling to hold the dog, according to Kathy Hoffmeyer, Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman.

“The homeowner and his neighbor were on top of the dog trying to restrain it,” Hoffmeyer said. “The deputy put his riot shield on top of the dog to try to immobilize it to get the people out of the house.”

The dog became increasingly agitated, Hoffmeyer said.

“Once the people were se-

cure, the dog was able to get up on all fours,” Hoffmeyer said. “It charged the officer with jaws fully extended. The officer, fearing for his life, shot the dog.”

The deputy fired four shots, hitting the animal multiple times, Hoffmeyer said.

The homeowner, Bill Ward, and the neighbor were treated for bites and scratches by Lockport Township Fire Protection District paramedics, Hoffmeyer said.

The Wards’ cat, Beanie, was taken to veterinary clinic in Plainfield, Hoffmeyer said.

Beanie is expected to survive, said Al Gernenz, the Wards’ next-door neighbor in College View Park, a subdivision just north of Lewis University.

“The cat was given emergency surgery, but I don’t believe it was life-threatening,” Gernenz said.

The dog, known as Buddy,

belonged to a neighbor on the same block who lived on another street, Hoffmeyer said.

The dog was a rescue animal, with a history of chasing rabbits and cats, she said.

“The owner said the dog got loose from the backyard where he was tied up,” Hoffmeyer said. “She attempted to grab him, but the collar broke free.”

Buddy, described as a 2½-year-old shepherd mix male, weighed about 50 pounds, she said.

No charges against the dog’s owner were anticipated at this time, Hoffmeyer said.

According to Gernenz, the dog leaped through a Plexiglas storm door to get at the Wards’ cat. The Wards have three more cats, though none of the others were injured in the incident, he said.

“While the dog was attacking the cat, Bill came home and tried to choke the dog off the cat,” Gernenz said.

“[Miner’s] statements are not unequivocal requests for counsel.”

Gerald Kinney Will County judge

over and [asked], ‘Are you agreeing to speak to us without an attorney,’ ” Connor said. “After he signed the form and he went over it, [Miner] said, ‘I know what my rights are.’ ” Kinney said that, at the beginning of the recording, Miner seemed “concerned” about his statements being misunderstood, but agreed to have Schumacher record the interview and was asked if he waived his rights.

“Three hours later [Miner] said he preferred to have someone here ... but agrees to continue and said, ‘I do not need a lawyer,’ ” Kinney said.

COVER STORY

Here are ways to have fun and do some good for others, too asked to make at least a oneyear commitment, meaning your time with the child should extend beyond the summer season. To volunteer, visit www.bbbswillgrundy. org.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Do you even remember what a polar vortex is or what minus-35 degrees feels like?

Probably not, considering Illinois got the first taste of hot, muggy weather this week.

Hard to believe considering the brutal winter we had.

Saturday marks the first day of summer. But before you plop yourself down in front of the television to indulge in Netflix marathons, make sure to check out trails, water parks and other fun activities the area has to offer.

Some of these ideas, such as hiking, swimming and biking, may already have been on your radar, but consider other ways to spend the summer: reading, watching a movie with your family outdoors or volunteering at a local organization.

Will County Habitat for Humanity

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Beau Evans (from left to right), 5, Jaylin Torres, 8, Andrea Aranda, 8, and Nelly Gallegos, 6, all of Joliet, react Tuesday after a bucket of water is dumped on their heads while cooling off at Community Park Splash Pad in Channahon.

WAYS TO GET OUTSIDE Joliet Splash Station For those looking for ways to beat the heat this summer, Joliet’s Splash Station water park has it all with a 200-foottall slide, tube slides, a zero-depth pool, lazy river and laned pool. The park is open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and until 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

For admission prices and more information, visit www. jolietsplashstation.com.

Splash Pad at Community Park in Channahon The Splash Pad opened in 2011 as part of overall improvements made to Channahon’s Community Park.

The area features ground nozzles that spray water upward from the ground, a rainbow pipe shower that spouts water down. Jennifer Mensik, spokeswoman for the Channahon Park District, said the spot is a perfect place for children to cool off.

The Splash Pad is open from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Movie Nights at Silver Cross Field Families can grab a spot in the outfield at Silver Cross Field for “Movie Nights,” according to the stadium’s website. Admission is $1; children under age 2 get in free.

Bring blankets, play catch and enjoy snacks on select Friday nights when the Slammers aren’t playing. “Angels in the Outfield” is playing Aug. 30, with “Finding Nemo” featured Sept. 6 and “Cars” on Sept. 13.

Forest Preserve District of Will County Whether you’re new to hiking or a seasoned pro, the Forest Preserve District of Will County has 120 miles of available trails at your disposal.

For those looking for a challenge, check out Hammel Woods in Joliet, with

its several grade changes, or Frederick’s Grove in McKinley Woods.

Bikers should check out the Rock Run Greenway Trail, a nearly 10-mile trek that starts in Crest Hill and travels south through Joliet. For an easier trip, Lake Renwick Bikeway travels just over 3 miles through the Lake Renwick Preserve. For a longer trek, try the 61.5-mile I&M Canal Bike Trail, which starts in Channahon and ends in LaSalle/Peru.

The district’s “Woods Walk Challenge” kicked off earlier this year. Participants who hike certain trails can earn medallions.

WAYS TO VOLUNTEER Big Brothers, Big Sisters With all the things you have planned out for the summer, why not bring a little brother or sister along? About 70 children are currently on the waiting list at Big Brother,

Big Sister of Will & Grundy Counties, and 67 of them are boys in need of an older, male mentor, said Lisa Morel Las, CEO of BBBS Will & Grundy Counties.

Volunteering just a couple of times a month can make a difference in a child’s life.

Las said children in the program sometimes come from single-parent homes and need a mentor who can introduce them to new activities, perspectives or ideas they may not otherwise have.

“Sometimes, people don’t want to volunteer because they think, ‘Boy, I can’t come up with something creative or something gargantuan to do with the child.’ The reality is, just do what you normally do. If you’re out bike riding, take them along. Take them to a Joliet Slammers baseball game,” Las said. “What these children really are looking for is someone to be with them.”

Las said volunteers are

Consider picking up a hammer this summer and heading over to a Will County Habitat for Humanity work site. The organization works hard to provide affordable housing in Joliet and surrounding communities – but it would be impossible without help from volunteers, said Annette Leck, executive director.

Skilled volunteers are always in demand on work sites, but less experienced workers can be taught construction tasks. Volunteers must be at least 18 years old.

Two rehab projects and one new home is going up in Joliet this summer, Leck said.

Volunteering opportunities also are available from 9 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at the organization’s ReStore site, 200 S. Larkin Ave., where donated appliances, furniture and building supplies are sold.

To sign up for a construction work site, call 815666-8140. To help out at the ReStore site, call 815-714-7011.

WAYS TO STAY SHARP The Joliet Public Library’s “Paws to Read” reading program is a great way to help children combat learning or reading skill losses during the summer, said Linda Ward-Callaghan, manager with the library’s youth services.

The library has three reading programs – for children, teens and adults. The more participants log their reading times, the greater chances they have to win weekly prizes. For information, check out jolietlibrary.org/summerreading.

What? New Lenox boring?

Mayor shrugs off blog, says it’s good to be boring

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – What’s the most boring place in Illinois?

It’s New Lenox, according to Movoto Blog, a real estate brokerage website. Another Will County village, Bolingbrook, made the list of 10 Most Boring.

Somehow, Movoto Blog found the most boring towns in Illinois all to be in the Chicago metropolitan area. Places like Tolono, Hoopeston and Standard City didn’t make the grade.

“With a name like New Lenox, you might expect everything to be new, shiney (sic), hip and lively,” wrote Laura Allan, author of the blog post, “but that’s not so with this place ... the numbers really did indicate that this was not a place to find thrills.”

That didn’t bother New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann, who said he laughed when he discovered the Movoto Blog article.

“We’ll be happy to stay at

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Mayor Tim Baldermann yawns for a portrait outside of the New Lenox Village Hall Thursday. According to Movoto, a real estate blog, New Lenox was named one of the most boring areas to live in Illinois. the top of that list any time,” he said.

New Lenox was found to be most boring based on a ranking that took into account cities and villages of certain population size. Movoto spokesman Nick Johnson said the ranking avoids small towns because some of them would have amenities that

would end up making them “off-the-charts” exciting based on the websites’ methodology.

The places were then judged how exciting they were based on nightlife, live music, active life options, number of fast food restaurants, percentage of fast food restaurants and percentage of young res-

idents between the ages of 20 and 34.

The website created the ranking based on data gleaned from Areavibes, Yelp and the 2010 U.S. Census.

Baldermann was uncertain if the criteria used was scientific and if anyone goes to the website for reliable information. Nevertheless, he was happy New Lenox is not a location known for its nightclubs or dive bars. Instead, it’s more known for its great schools, great recreational events – such as the Triple Play concert series – and the Silver Cross Hospital, he said.

“We are primarily a community of hard-working families that want their kids to get a good education and live in a safe community,” he said.

Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar was also not offended to be tied for sixth place as the most boring place in the state.

Boring is not always bad, he said. Claar touted the village’s shopping centers, theater attractions, local schools and athletic programs as its main highlights.

When he first learned of the list, he said he thought it

was funny and didn’t take it too seriously.

“If they think we’re boring, fine. But people are generally pretty happy,” he said. “I don’t care what they say.”

The blog post ranked the most exciting places in the state – with Evanston ranking No. 1 – and decided to have “a little light-hearted fun and skewer the 10 most boring spots.” The most exciting towns also were all in the Chicago metropolitan region.

Johnson said the goal of the Movoto Blog is to build awareness about the website and create a conversation among communities.

“What we’re slowly realizing is even these people in these communities are learning about themselves,” he said.

Reaction to the blog post has been mixed.

One commenter named Molly wrote in the comment section of the blog, “I think I’m honored to have my hometown named. After all don’t the more ‘exciting’ places also have more violence, more depressed people, more homeless, welfare, and wayyyy more dirty?”

Richland teachers vote no confidence in administration

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Richland School District 88a teachers have issued a vote of no confidence in the superintendent and principal citing workplace harassment and a failure to improve student achievement.

The teachers union presented the vote of no confidence in Superintendent Michael Early, which was supported by 39 out of 44 teachers, at a school board meeting Wednesday. Also, 33 out of 44 teachers voted having no confidence in Principal Kelly Whyte.

Union Vice President Steve Camp said only tenured teachers voted because the union wanted to prevent retaliation to nontenured staff.

“For several years, the staff has been bullied and administrative decisions have gone against the kids,” said Camp, also a sixth grade teacher at Richland Middle School.

However, the board issued a statement in support of Early and Whyte at the meeting.

“This board has full confidence in Dr. Michael Early and Kelly Whyte,” board President Julie Starasinich said. “This board also has confidence in our teachers.

The board recognizes it has a

climate issue and is fully committed to working collaboratively to resolve this and any other issues for the benefit of this district and its students.”

Some members of the board told the union they were unaware of the work climate issues, Camp said.

Teachers claim Early has engaged in multiple acts of bullying and intimidation of staff members, Camp said.

One of those claims materialized in a lawsuit from 2012 in which a teacher claims another teacher called her “fat” and “pregnant.” The suit claimed that administrators didn’t do enough to remedy the situation.

Teachers say Whyte made many administrative decisions that hindered staff’s ability to teach and improve student success, including changing schedules multiple times and shifting classroom hours to study hall time.

Camp said teachers have repeatedly expressed concern about a “hostile” work environment to the board over several years, including a 2012 survey that includes at least 40 teachers’ complaints about the work environment.

Starasinich, speaking for both the school board and the administration, acknowledged that the board has met with the union about work

climate issues. But she dismissed the union’s claims Wednesday as “generic” and “not based in fact.”

“We’ve spent considerable time addressing the climate,” Starasinich said. “Climate is an issue in many districts, not just our own.”

Starasinich also said that no one has formally filed any complaint about Early or grievance with her as board president as outlined in the school board manual.

“There is a procedure they have to follow,” Starasinich said. “If they don’t follow that procedure, we can’t act because it opens up the board and district to slander.”

Will County Board approves courthouse design contract

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board voted Thursday on a $1.3 million contract with Darien-based Wight & Company that outlines preliminary design work for a new courthouse downtown.

The company’s work includes a concept plan, construction cost estimates, county population projections and tours of other courthouses.

A handful of board members initially objected to a provision that gives the county the option to pay Wight & Company $100,000 to handle public relations, but the contract was ultimately approved as presented.

At the meeting, Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said a new courthouse is greatly needed.

“Anyone who hasn’t been in our courthouse needs to go,

because you’ll see it’s not just the structure. It’s the inability to put in the security and all the other electronic advancements that’s necessary. It’s actually impossible in that building,” he said. “We’ve had the floor buckle. We’ve had the ceiling collapse and those are just minor things, really, when you look at the big picture.”

Building a new courthouse could cost between $140 million and $200 million.

The County Board also voted on an agreement to move the county’s recorder of deeds and coroner’s offices to the former Social Security Administration building downtown.

The county bought the building, 158 N. Scott St., for $850,000, last year. It is estimated the county will save $250,000 a year in lease expenses alone by shifting the recorder of deeds office there.

Broke ankle while playing with grandchildren

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

Paul Kaupas Will County sheriff

them how to do a few things and they [challenged with] ‘You’re doing a lot of talking.

Why don’t you come in here and show us,’ ” said Kaupas, 64.

Kaupas initially declined, but eventually began demonstrating his technique.

“They couldn’t get the

forward flip, so despite not wanting to do anything stupid, I did the forward flip,” Kaupas said.

Kaupas did the flip but landed incorrectly and broke his right tibia near the ankle.

“The girls were yelling ‘Hurrah,’ but I laid down. My foot wasn’t flat and trampoline surfaces were a lot harder years ago,” he said.

Kaupas said his ankle seemed sprained, but went to the emergency room as a precaution. He “knew it wasn’t good” when the ankle swelled up as he took off the ice and bandage.

Kaupas is scheduled for surgery Thursday. He did not know how long his recovery period will be.

SHOREWOOD – Lightning struck a house in Shorewood but caused minimal damage as storms rolled through Wednesday night.

Residents were in the home at 803 Woodbrook Court but no one was injured when the lightning hit shortly before 8:15 p.m., Troy Fire Protection District Deputy Chief Andy Doyle said.

Resident Dawn Mosher was in the house watching TV with her family when the lightning struck. But she didn’t think it hit her house until she saw through the family room window sparks coming from the roof.

“I don’t know if the house took the sound wave and bounced it outward, but it

wasn’t that loud,” Mosher said. “The neighbors said it was so loud. But the house didn’t shake. I’ve heard much louder claps from lightning striking near us in the past. “ Mosher said the strike came after most of the storm had passed. There was some electrical damage as it fried the wireless Internet box, but her cable TV wasn’t affected.

“It was probably one of the most bizarre life experiences I’ve ever had,” Mosher said.

Doyle said the lightning likely hit the soil stack pipe in the home. The attic filled with smoke and firefighters found smoldering insulation as they cleared the haze.

“There’s no structural damage to the house, but we’re still determining the cost of the damage,” Doyle said.

If the Will County Sheriff was more of a flatfoot, he would have had an easier week.

“It’s called ‘stupid,’ ” Sheriff Paul Kaupas offered as a self-deprecating explanation for breaking his ankle while off-duty Sunday.

Kaupas spent Father’s Day with his daughters and grandchildren. At one point, he was watching them play in his daughter’s backyard on a new trampoline and thought he would give a few pointers.

“Fifty years ago I took trampoline lessons at the YMCA. So I was teaching

“They couldn’t get the forward flip, so despite not wanting to do anything stupid, I did the forward flip.”

JOLIET – St. John M. B. Church will host a program on how to expunge and seal criminal records on Monday.

The program has been organized by Pam Fort, who said she was inspired by a seminar on the topic that she attended while in graduate school at Roosevelt University in Chicago.

“So many people would get caught up in simple things and then not be able to find a job,” Fort said. “One of the ladies that attended school was smarter than all of us, but she couldn’t get into nursing school because she had a felony on her record.”

As a high school substitute teacher, Fort also knew certain kids went in and out of jail, ruining their chances for future employment. Something had to be done, she decided. So Fort arranged her own information nights, starting in 2004 with 20 attending.

She now offers it twice a year, spring and fall.

The program on Monday

will be at 5 p.m. in the church at 104 E. Zarley Road, Joliet.

Those attending should bring copies of rap sheets. Records are available at the office of the Will County Circuit Clerk, 14 W. Jefferson St., Joliet.

For information, contact Pamela or Mary Fort at 815207-4659 or maryfort@comcast. net.

During the event, people meet with a representative from the office of the state appellate defender and volunteering attorneys. They discuss the laws regarding expunging and sealing records, answer eligibility questions and assist with completing the necessary paperwork, if those individuals qualify, Fort said.

The only cost is court fees.

“We’ve helped over 3,000 people in the last 12 years,” Fort said.

It could be an individual that worked 20 years for a plant, which then closes down, leaving that person out of work. When applying for a job, something comes up on the background – perhaps something the individual scarcely recalls, Fort said.

toppers said it was offering the reward to help Dwight police get more information in the case.

Those with information can call Grundy County Crimestoppers at 815-9429667.

Information also can be provided to a Dwight police hotline at 815-584-3132.

Joliet man faces multiple gun, drug charges

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – Police say a convicted gang member was driving around with a gun and cocaine Tuesday.

Will County Sheriff’s

spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said deputies stopped Michael Motley about 7 p.m. when he turned right without signaling at Cliff and Harvard avenues.

“They searched his person and found 28 grams of cocaine and a 9-millimeter handgun,”

Hoffmeyer said.

Motley, of the 0 to 100 block of Mississippi Avenue in Joliet, was arrested and booked into the county jail on charges of armed violence, unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm by a gang member, aggravated un-

lawful use of a weapon, delivery of drugs and driving with a suspended license.

According to court records, Motley was one of four men who sexually assaulted a 17-year-old woman in January 1999 in Lockport Township. The victim was shocked

repeatedly by her assailants with a stun gun while she was sexually assaulted.

She fled the house after the attack and received help from a neighbor.

Motley pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years in prison.

Bullets hit Joliet house Nichols’ defense includes PTSD plea to murder charge

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Crest Hill man will claim he was insane when he is tried on charges he murdered his wife last year.

Defense attorney Michael Ettinger told Judge Robert Livas on Thursday that while the evidence will show Jerry Nichols struck his wife Diane with a car, Nichols then began “stomping on her head” because the vehicle accident triggered his post-traumatic stress disorder.

“He doesn’t remember the incident. We’re not denying it happened,” Ettinger said.

“The doctor will testify the high stress when the car hit his wife into a wall ... precipitated the post-traumatic stress disorder [leading to] the stomping.”

Ettinger said Nichols, 63, a Vietnam veteran, had no other PTSD symptoms around the time of his wife’s death on Jan. 26, 2013.

About 11 a.m. that day, Jerry Nichols called an ambulance to the house where he and Diane, 57, lived in the 16000 block of Arborvitae Circle. Paramedics arrived to see Nichols allegedly stomping on his wife’s head. An autopsy showed Diane Nichols died from “multiple injuries due to blunt trauma,” according to the Will County Coroner.

Crest Hill police had no previous contact with the Nichols, who had been married for 12 years. Diane’s death occurred two months after Jerry Nichols retired from LaGrange’s water and public works departments after 37 years.

Thursday’s hearing was held because prosecutors want Livas to bar Ettinger from using part of a report from psychologist Orest Wasyliw.

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney John Connor said five opinions offered

by Dr. Wasyliw in his 53-page report are speculative or im-

properly linked without explanation.

Livas struck out Wasyliw’s conclusions that Nichols is an anti-social personality and may have relied on false memories when he was questioned by police. The judge said he will take a week to review the report and case law before addressing the PTSD conclusions.

JOLIET – No one was injured when bullets struck a house Thursday near Union Street and Second Avenue.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said three men were seen running from the area after gunfire was reported at 12:37 p.m.

“This is crazy. We have kids getting off the school bus a few minutes later,” said a resident named Shelly who did not want to provide her last name.

Shelly said the area has had gang problems for a long time. The vacant lot on the southeast corner of the intersection used to have a house that was frequently targeted by gang members before it was torn down.

Bullets struck the side of the house next to the vacant lot but did not penetrate the stucco walls. Police questioned the residents but had not determined if the house or someone passing by outside was the target of the attack, Roechner said.

POLICE REPORTS Note to readers: Information in Police Reports is obtained from local police departments and the Will County Sheriff’s Office.

Individuals listed in Police Reports who have been charged with a crime have not been proven guilty in court.

• Timothy Flores, 22, of the 600 block of Second Avenue, was arrested by Joliet police Saturday on a charge of domestic battery.

• Alex Garcia, 25, of the 600 block of Mohawk Street, was ar-

rested by sheriff’s police Saturday on charges of domestic battery and resisting arrest.

• Kenneth W. Gaunty, 27, of the 16600 block of West Hermitage Avenue in Harvey, was arrested by state police Saturday on charges of aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol, driving without a license and hit-and-run.

• Gregory L. Givan, 26, of the 0 to 100 block of Wilson Avenue, was arrested by Joliet police Saturday on charges of domestic battery and vandalism.

Officials urge public to stay away

Report details hurdles to immigrant health signups

CHICAGO – A poorly designed federal system prevented perhaps thousands of immigrants from enrolling in coverage under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul, according to a preliminary report from an Illinois advocacy group.

The Associated Press was given the report by the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights on Wednesday, a day before its planned release was abruptly postponed. The report says federal phone operators were misinformed about immigrant eligibility, a credit agency verifying identities couldn’t handle languages other than English and Spanish and some immigrants were incorrectly referred to Medicaid, causing their applications to be frozen.

“These issues were the result of a poorly designed system that was not planned and implemented with immigrants and refugees in mind,” the report states. The 14-page report provides a new level of detail about previously known roadblocks for eligible immigrants.

Immigrants who remain uninsured could face fines under the health law, as well as high medical bills from accidents or unforeseen illness. People in the United States illegally aren’t eligible for coverage under the law.

Illinois jobless rate falls to 7.5 percent

CHAMPAIGN – Illinois’ unemployment rate fell to 7.5 percent in May, its lowest level since 2008, the state Department of Employment Security said Thursday.

The May jobless rate is down from 7.9 percent in April. Illinois still has one of the highest unemployment rates in the country, but the department noted that the state jobless rate has now

Department officials called the results encouraging.

“The rate falling to 7.5 percent is significant,” spokesman Greg Rivara said.

The total number of unemployed people in Illinois fell 4.6 percent in May, to 492,400. That number, though, only includes the unemployed who are still actively seeking work.

Illinois added a net 2,100 construction jobs in May, 2,700 educational and health services jobs, and 2,800 government jobs.

As soon as conservation police cleared the crowd, the bear came down and headed through a pasture and some woods in the direction of a nearby camp, she said.

There are no plans to trap or move the bear unless he becomes aggressive, Department of Natural Resources spokesman Chris Young said.

Wandering bear draws crowds in northwest Illinois

MOUNT MORRIS – A young black bear that has been roaming northwestern Illinois this spring drew dozens of curious onlookers when he took refuge in an oak tree after ambling through the small Ogle County town, prompting fresh pleas from wildlife officials to leave the youngster alone.

The latest sighting was on Wednesday, when the bear limbed a tree on Suzanne Felker’s farm outside of Mount Morris to take a snooze. Felker, who lives in nearby Rochelle and

U of I’s Wise believes med school should be small

URBANA – A new medical school being discussed for the University of Illinois’ Urbana-Champaign campus should be small and complement the school’s other operations, the campus’ chancellor said.

Chancellor Phyllis Wise said during an address to the University Senates Conference on Wednesday that a lot of work still needs to be done on the proposal, but that the school could be an important addition, The News-Gazette reported.

The group includes faculty from

all three University of Illinois campuses.

“I believe if we do this right, if we make it small, if we make it complementary, we make it [an] out of the ordinary, conventional mechanism of an academic structure, that we will be able to build something that will be important to our campus” and the towns, region and state, Wise said.

The proposal is in its early stages.

Quinn approves plan to fund Illinois Poison Center

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has signed on to a plan to keep the Illinois Poison Center open after it has seen a number of budget cuts in recent years.

The Chicago Democrat on Monday approved the funding plan that was included in legislation to restore some Medicaid cuts made in 2012.

The agreement requires an Advocate Health Care hospital in DuPage County to pay $8 million over the next four years to support the center. In exchange, the state will make an additional investment in the hospital to increase its Medicaid funding.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS U.S.: Better campus stats needed on dating violence WASHINGTON – The Obama administration wants colleges and universities to compile statistics on stalking, dating violence and domestic violence as part of its ongoing effort to curb sexual assaults on campuses.

The Education Department proposed a new rule Thursday designed to provide a better picture of these problems.

The proposed rule change falls under the Clery Act, which requires colleges and universities to report crime statistics on or near their campuses and provide warnings in a timely manner if safety is threatened. The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 signed by President Barack Obama amended the Clery Act by extending additional rights to campus victims. Victims’ advocates have said the statistics, as currently compiled, don’t paint an accurate picture of the extent of sexual crimes on campuses.

“These new rules strengthen schools’ capacity to provide safer college campuses for students and to keep everyone better informed about campus security policies and procedures,” Education Secretary Arne Duncan said.

Cities fight Big Sioux River flooding in 3 states SIOUX CITY, Iowa – Record Big Sioux River flooding prompted residents in three states to hurriedly prepare for the rising water Thursday, with people lining up for sandbags and moving

museum artifacts and other items to higher ground.

The fast-moving Big Sioux has been swollen by days of thunderstorms and is expected to crest Friday more than a foot above the previous record level set in 1969.

This is the worst flooding the region has seen since 2011, when the Missouri River remained high for months, causing tributaries to back up and testing the levee system. The fact that the levee held for long at that time showed it’s effective, said Jade Dundas, assistant city manager for public works for Sioux City, Iowa.

Presbyterian assembly: Gay marriage is Christian DETROIT – The top legislative body of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) voted by large margins Thursday to recognize samesex marriage as Christian in the church constitution, adding language that marriage can be the union of “two people,” not just “a man and a woman.”

The amendment approved by the Presbyterian General Assembly requires approval from a majority of the 172 regional presbyteries, which will vote on the change over the next year.

But in a separate policy change that takes effect at the end of this week’s meeting, delegates voted to allow ministers to preside at gay weddings in states where the unions are legal and local congregational leaders approve.

Nineteen states and the District of Columbia recognize same-sex marriage.

Back to Iraq: Obama sending military advisers

By JULIE PACE and HAMZA HENDAWI The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Inching back into a fight he tried to leave behind, President Barack Obama announced Thursday he was dispatching 300 U.S. military advisers to Iraq to help quell the rising insurgency in the crumbling nation. He also challenged Iraq’s embattled leader to create a more inclusive government or risk his country descending into sectarian civil war.

“The test is before him and other Iraqi leaders as we speak,” Obama said of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, whose political fate appeared increasingly in play as his rivals launched a secretive effort to replace him.

Less than three years after Obama heralded the end of America’s war in Iraq, he insisted he was not sending the military back into combat. Still, when coupled with previously announced steps, the president’s actions could put about 600 additional U.S. troops in the midst of Iraq’s deeply unstable security situation.

Underscoring the volatility was a tenacious fight over Iraq’s largest oil refinery north of Baghdad. Iraqi soldiers and helicopter gunships battled Sunni militants for a third day on Thursday for control of the refinery, the loss of which would be a devastating symbol of the government’s powerlessness in the face of a determined insurgency hostile to the West.

Despite the deteriorating conditions, Obama held off approving airstrikes that the Iraqi government has sought to stem an insurgency that has taken over the cities of Mosul and Tikrit and has pressed toward Baghdad. The president said he could still approve “targeted and precise” strikes if the situation on the ground required it, noting that the

President Barack Obama leaves after speaking about the situation in Iraq Thursday in the Brady Press Briefing Room of the White House in Washington. Obama said the U.S. will send up to 300 military advisers to Iraq, set up joint operation centers.

U.S. had stepped up intelligence gathering in Iraq to help identify potential targets.

Officials said manned and unmanned U.S. aircraft are now flying over Iraq 24 hours a day on intelligence collection missions. If the U.S. were to proceed with airstrikes, officials did not rule out the prospect of hitting targets in Syria, where the militant group pressing through Iraq also has deep ties.

Even as Obama left the door open for a direct military response, he said Iraq’s future ultimately rests with its leaders’ willingness to embrace a more inclusive political system. Al-Maliki has long faced criticism from the U.S. for not giving Iraq’s Sunni minority a greater role in the Shiite-dominated government. Secretary of State John Kerry is expected to travel to Iraq soon to press its government to share more power.

While U.S. officials have increasingly raised questions privately about whether al-Maliki can lead his country out of the current crisis, Obama stopped short of call-

ing for the prime minister to step down, saying “it’s not our job to choose Iraq’s leaders.”

But in what appeared to be a pointed warning to al-Maliki, Obama said: “Only leaders that can govern with an inclusive agenda are going to be able to truly bring the Iraqi people together and help them through this crisis.”

A leading Sunni tribal chief said Washington’s decision to send the military advisers would only make the fighting worse. Sheik Ali Hatem al-Suleiman, whose men are involved in the Sunni insurgency led by the al-Qaida inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, said the violence would end only if al-Maliki stepped down.

Both al-Maliki’s Sunni opponents and many of his former Kurdish and Shiite allies have been clamoring to deny the prime minister a third term in office, saying he has excluded them from a narrow decision-making circle. Iraqi political leaders and U.S. officials also have met in recent days to discuss al-Maliki’s future.

House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy of California leaves a Republican Conference meeting Wednesday on Capitol Hill in Washington, as candidates vying for House GOP leadership posts make their pitches to the rank-and-file in the tumultuous aftermath of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s sudden loss last week in his Virginia primary race.

House GOP elects Scalise and McCarthy to leadership

By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Rep. Kevin McCarthy of California capped a meteoric rise through the ranks of power on Thursday, winning election as House majority leader as Republicans shuffled their leadership in the wake of Rep. Eric Cantor’s primary defeat in Virginia.

Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise, 48, was elected to replace McCarthy as whip, a clear indication that the rank and file wanted a red-state Republican in the upper ranks of leadership for the first time since the party gained control of the House in 2010.

McCarthy, a former aide who won his seat in Congress less than eight years ago, pledged after his victory to make sure the GOP “has the courage to lead with the wisdom to listen, and we’ll turn this country around.”

The changes take effect when Cantor steps down as majority leader on July 31.

The current leader attended the day’s elections but did not speak as his successor was selected.

The challenges facing the

leadership aren’t likely to change. They must guide an often fractious rank and file into the fall election season, while contending with a Democratic-controlled Senate and President Barack Obama.

Within moments of McCarthy’s election, the League of United Latin American Citizens issued a statement calling on him to schedule a vote in the House on legislation to overhaul immigration law, including a path to citizenship for millions of immigrants currently living in the country illegally.

The issue has long divided Republicans and figured prominently in Cantor’s defeat a little more a week ago, when he was trounced by David Brat, a little-known, underfunded tea party-backed challenger.

In setting quick elections, Speaker John Boehner and other leaders hoped to avoid a drawn-out, divisive struggle that might complicate the party’s drive to retain its majority in midterm balloting on Nov. 4.

Yet the timing of the day’s events made it unclear whether the winners – or perhaps Boehner, himself – might face fresh challenges when the

rank and file gathers in the fall after national elections.

At a news conference after the closed-door elections, Scalise and several Republicans stressed the party is united as it heads into the last several months of the year. They were at pains to project that image, as well, refusing even to provide the vote totals that might betray any internal division.

McCarthy moved quickly to line up the votes for majority leader in the wake of Cantor’s defeat at the polls in Virginia, deploying an organization developed since he became whip more than three years ago when Republicans took control of the House.

One potential rival, Rep. Paul Ryan of Wisconsin, decided against joining the race, while another, Rep. Jeb Hensarling of Texas, deferred to a second Texan, Rep. Pete Sessions. Sessions quickly dropped out, though, saying it was obvious that a successful campaign would have created painful divisions within the party.

Rep. Raul Labrador of Idaho jumped in, but by then, the California front-runner had amassed support from across the rank and file.

WASHINGTON – Tens of thousands more veterans than previously reported are forced to wait at least a month for medical appointments at Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics, according to an updated audit of 731 VA medical facilities released Thursday.

The updated report includes new figures showing that the wait times actually experienced at most VA facilities were shorter than those on waiting lists for pending appointments. For instance, new patients at the Atlanta VA hospital waited about an average of 44 days for an appointment in April, the new report said. But the average wait for pending appointments at Atlanta was 66 days.

Similar disparities in average wait times were found around the country. Pending

appointments, for example, don’t include patients who walk into a clinic and get immediate or quick treatment, VA officials said. They also don’t reflect rescheduled appointments or those that are moved up because of openings due to cancellations.

VA officials said the two sets of data complement one another, but both are evidence that many veterans face long waits for care. More than 56,000 veterans were waiting more than 90 days for an initial appointment, the new report said.

“In many communities across the country, veterans wait too long for the high quality care they’ve earned and deserve,” acting VA Secretary Sloan Gibson said Thursday.

The department has reached out to 70,000 veterans to get them off waiting lists and into clinics, Gibson said, “but there is still much more work to be done.”

Prosecutors: Gov. Walker part of criminal scheme

By SCOTT BAUER The Associated Press MADISON, Wis. – Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential 2016 Republican presidential candidate, took part in a nationwide criminal scheme to coordinate fundraising with conservative groups, prosecutors said in court documents unsealed Thursday.

No charges have been filed against Walker or any member of his staff. And both sides are arguing in court over whether the activities are covered by election laws. The documents for the first time put Walker himself at the center of an investigation into campaigns in 2011 and 2012.

The papers were filed in December as part of an investigation into fundraising involving Walker and his campaign, the Wisconsin Club for Growth, the state Chamber of Commerce and other groups.

The investigation began in 2012 as Walker, who rose to fame by passing a bill that ef-

fectively ended collective bargaining for most public workers, was facing a recall election.

But the probe has been on hold since May, when a federal judge ruled it was a breach of Wisconsin Club for Growth’s free-speech rights and temporarily halted it.

State prosecutors said in the December filing that Walker, former chief of staff Keith Gilkes, top adviser R.J. Johnson and campaign operative Deborah Jordahl discussed illegal fundraising and coordination with national political groups and prominent Republican figures, including GOP strategist Karl Rove.

“The scope of the criminal scheme under investigation is expansive,” lead prosecutor Francis Schmitz wrote in a Dec. 9 court filing objecting to an attempt by Walker’s campaign and other conservative groups to quash subpoenas. “It includes criminal violations of multiple elections laws” including filing false campaign-finance reports, Schmitz wrote.

A pro-Russian fighter holds a gun Wednesday during a handover of the bodies of Ukrainian troops killed in a plane shot down near Luhansk at a check point in the village of Karlivka in eastern Ukraine.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS MOSCOW – Russia is resuming its military buildup along the Ukrainian border in an apparent attempt to intimidate its neighbor, NATO’s chief said Thursday as Ukrainian government forces unleashed a major offensive against pro-Moscow insurgents.

Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke by telephone to German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande, voicing strong concern about the Ukrainian military onslaught. Putin said he expects Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to immediately launch his plan to end the violence, the Kremlin said.

Putin and Poroshenko then discussed details of the peace plan in a phone call – their second conversation this week. Poroshenko’s office said he emphasized the need for introducing effective border controls and quickly releasing hostages.

Russia has denied Ukrainian and Western allegations that it is fomenting the rebellion by sending troops and weapons into Ukraine.

Last month, in an appar-

ent attempt to ease tensions in Ukraine, Putin pulled back many of the estimated 40,000 Russian troops massed along the border.

But on Thursday, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that Russia has sent a few thousand additional troops to the border, calling it “a very regrettable step backward.”

“If they’re deployed to seal the border and stop the flow of weapons and fighters, that would be a positive step. But that’s not what we’re seeing,” Rasmussen said in London.

The Russian Defense Ministry refused to comment.

The allegations came as heavy fighting raged near Krasnyi Liman in the Donetsk region, which has been the epicenter of violence over the past two months.

Vladislav Seleznev, a spokesman for Ukrainian forces in the east, described the area as a strategic supply corridor for the rebels.

He said in a statement on Facebook that four government troops were killed and 20 wounded in the fighting Thursday.

He said up to 200 rebels were killed and hundreds wounded. The claim could not be independently con-

firmed.

Rebel chief Igor Strelkov said in a statement on YouTube that his men were far outnumbered and outgunned and would probably be forced to retreat.

Strelkov, clad in combat fatigues, bitterly scolded the Kremlin for failing to help the rebellion and issued a desperate plea to send in troops.

“I hope that they have enough conscience left in Moscow to take some measures,” he said.

There was no immediate response from the Kremlin, which has ignored previous pleas for help from the insurgents.

Putin has faced strong pressure from nationalists at home to send troops into Ukraine following the annexation of Crimea in March.

But Putin, eager to avoid a new round of crippling Western sanctions, has instead welcomed a peace plan put forward by Ukraine’s new president.

Poroshenko on Wednesday promised to call a unilateral cease-fire to give the rebels a chance to lay down their weapons and leave the country.

He is expected to outline details of the plan Friday.

More French Jews leave for Israel The ASSOCIATED PRESS PARIS – Increasing numbers of French Jews are leaving for Israel, citing dim economic prospects and a sense of being caught between an increasingly influential far right and militant Islam. More than 5,000 are on track to leave this year, the most since after the Six-Day War in 1967.

Israel, seeing the influx as a success, is doubling down on its efforts to attract Europeans, planning to dedicate $29 million over two years to bring in new immigrants.

France has the world’s third-largest Jewish population after Israel and the United States – about 500,000, according to rough estimates. The country bans any official documentation of a person’s race, religion or ethnicity in a law with roots in French shame over its collaboration with the Nazis.

Since World War II, France has redoubled efforts to make Jewish families feel welcome.

But many say dramatic acts of anti-Semitism coupled with France’s stagnant economy –

which includes a 25 percent youth unemployment rate, compared with 11 percent in Israel – make a hard choice easier.

Laurie Levy, 26, left in 2013.

A native of the southern city of Toulouse, her departure came after attacks by a French-born Islamic radical on a Jewish school and soldiers left seven people dead, including three children and a rabbi. She has given up on a career in French law and left behind her parents and siblings.

In Tel Aviv, she no longer feels the need to hide the Star of David she wears around her neck.

But there are other concerns: Her parents are unlikely to uproot themselves and she worries about their future back in France. They, in turn, worry about her, living alone in a different country.

“Life is beautiful here. You work. You go to the beach.

You see your friends. You’re not afraid,” said Levy, who now works at an Israeli design firm. “The irony is that I am more concerned about them than they are about me.”

Russian buildup seen as fighting rages in Ukraine

WASHINGTON – Most people who signed up under President Barack Obama’s health care law rate their new insurance highly, but a substantial number are struggling with the cost, according to a poll released Thursday.

The survey from the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation provides findings that both sides in the health care debate can seize on. It’s an ambitious look at people who buy their coverage individually; they’re the ones most affected by the Affordable Care Act. “The critics’ view of the law as an unmitigated disaster is far from true, but it’s not what advocates might have hoped for either because many people still have concerns about affordability,” said Drew Altman, CEO of the foundation, an information clearinghouse

The poll found that Obama’s law is achieving one of its main goals by covering the uninsured. Fifty-seven percent of the 8 million people who bought a plan through the new insurance exchanges were previously uninsured.

But greater access to coverage has come at a price that’s uncomfortably steep for many.

Despite the availability of generous subsidies, 4 in 10 of those who bought a plan that meets the law’s specifications said they had difficulty paying their monthly premiums.

That’s a sobering reality check on assertions by the Obama administration that coverage is readily affordable.

Overall, employer coverage got much better ratings in the poll than did health law plans, which are meant for self-employed people and workers without access through their jobs.

Sarajevo: Slaying that set off WWI

By AIDA CERKEZ The Associated Press SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina – A century after Gavrilo Princip ignited World War I with a shot from his handgun, the baby-faced Serb teenager who assassinated the Austro-Hungarian crown prince in Sarajevo in 1914 still provokes controversy.

His legacy has been molded time and again to meet political agendas in the Balkans, which remains a smoldering patchwork of ethnic and religious rivalries. Nikola Princip crossed himself and stood silently recently in front of a Sarajevo chapel plaque that read “The Heroes of St. Vitus Day.” The list starts with Gavrilo Princip’s name for the assassination he carried out on that sacred Serb holiday of June 28.

“He lived and died for his ideas to liberate and unite the southern Slavs. May he rest in peace,” the 81-year-old man said, lighting a candle.

A few blocks away, another plaque marks the spot where Princip killed Crown Prince Franz Ferdinand. There, Halida Basic, a 72 year-old Bosnian Muslim, has a different view.

“He was a killer, a terrorist.

He did it because he wanted

Bosnia to be part of Greater Serbia,” she said.

Barely a month after the 19-year-old fired his shots, Europe, and eventually the world, was at war. Austria accused Serbia of masterminding the assassination. Backed by Germany, Austria attacked Serbia, whose allies, Russia and France, were quickly drawn in.

Britain, its sprawling Commonwealth empire and the United States also joined the fighting.

When the mass slaughter known as the Great War ended in 1918, it had claimed some 14 million lives – 5 million civilians and 9 million soldiers, sailors and airmen – and left another 7 million troops permanently disabled. For his part, Princip was immediately arrested and died in captivity months before the war ended. With the centenary remembrance of the assassination approaching in the Bosnian capital of Sarajevo, the old entrenched positions are resurfacing.

“Gavrilo Princip will, just like the past 100 years, remain a hero for some and a terrorist to others,” said the head of the Sarajevo History Institute, Husnija Kamberovic. “It is a matter of feelings toward what he did, and not a matter of serious historical arguments.”

Ivory for sale in Angola; big tuskers die in Kenya

By JASON STRAZIUSO The Associated Press NAIROBI, Kenya – The craft market just north of Angola’s capital sells paintings, hand-carved wooden animals and newly woven baskets. It is also sells more than 10,000 pieces of ivory, making it the largest market in southern Africa to openly sell elephant tusks, an illegal trade.

Across the African continent, in Kenya, two of the country’s biggest tuskers, as the continent’s largest bull

elephants are called, were slaughtered by poachers. The phenomena are interconnected.

The international ivory trade is threatening to wipe out Africa’s elephants.

Tens of thousands of elephants are being killed for their ivory tusks each year continentwide. And while experts say there has been a decline in elephant poaching, they say more needs to be done, as the deaths of the beloved pachyderms in Kenya show.

At the Benfica Market near Luanda, Angola, two animal researchers recently counted 10,026 pieces of ivory for sale – necklaces, bracelets, carved figurines and whole tusks. And that huge count didn’t include backup inventory the sellers kept nearby.

“I was flabbergasted because it was so big,” said Esmond Martin, one of two researches publishing a paper in an upcoming issue of TRAFFIC Bulletin, a wildlife trade journal. “It’s completely illegal.”

OUR VIEW: THUMBS UP/THUMBS DOWN

Thumbs up to local baseball state champs The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs up and thumbs down: Thumbs up: To our local baseball state champions, Lemont High School (Class 3A) and Providence Catholic High School (Class 4A).

Not only did both schools take home top honors on Saturday, they set records. This was the first state championship for any boys team at Lemont, and the first baseball title in 32 years for Providence. Thank you all for showing us what hard work and passion can do for an entire community – you’ve made all of us proud!

Thumbs down: To Plainfield Park District officials who ordered the locks cut and changed on a storage shed used by the Plainfield Soccer Association. The incident happened months ago, but recently obtained police reports from an investigation into missing soccer equipment reminded us once again what a mess was created during Garrett Peck’s short stay as executive director.

Neither Peck nor others seemed to be able to remember who ordered the locks cut, but Peck was in charge.

Thumbs up: To former Joliet resident Sal Di Leo, who expressed gratitude in a big way. Growing up hungry and dirty – number 11 in a chaotic family of 12 children – Di Leo and several of his siblings were sent to live at Guardian Angel Home in Joliet when Di Leo was 8 years old, after Di Leo’s father deserted the family. To show his appreciation of the care he received from the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate, Di Leo created a retreat center in Minnesota for men and women in various religious orders – a contemplative place in the woods. Di Leo paid for the land and the construction himself, little by little, as he had the money. St. Francis Lodge just celebrated its 15th anniversary, and Di Leo is full of expansion plans. Thank you Di Leo for returning a blessing with an even greater blessing.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

A tribute to Dr. Maya Angelou – a mentor to many On Saturday, June 7, 2014, the world mourned the passing of Dr. Maya Angelou. She has gone down in history as a world-renowned poet, author, professor and mentor to many. However, as I take a closer look at her life, I see that she was an overcomer and an achiever who refused to just exist. It seems that she made a pact with herself to not only destroy barriers and break through ceilings, but to greatly exceed the expectation for women as well as African-Americans.

Her life and legacy becomes more remarkable when I consider the social, racial and political atmosphere in which she excelled. She became San Francisco’s first African-American female cable car conductor in 1942.

She became a writer when that career choice was almost unheard of for African-American women.

In 1959, she served as the northern coordinator for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. She was the editor of the English language weekly, The Arab Observer, in 1960, while living in Cairo, Egypt. She had the honor of reading her poem, “On the Pulse of Morning,” at President Bill Clinton’s inauguration. She also overcame many obstacles in her personal life. She was raped by her mother’s boyfriend at the age of 7, a trauma that left her mute for five years. She was a single parent at the age of 16, and also a high-school dropout. However, these obstacles were not used as excuses

GUEST VIEW Yolanda T. Amon to be unsuccessful in life. They were used to fuel her writing career, which spanned about 40 years and resulted in seven autobiographies and several other published works.

As a young reader growing up in the 70s and 80s, I enjoyed reading her first autobiography, “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings.” As a teenager, I recited her poem, “Phenomenal Women,” and it gave me great confidence.

Her attitude and tenacity continues to impact me. It says that, even though this has never been done by an African-American, I’m going to do it; and even though women don’t normally do this, I’m going to do it; and even though people don’t normally survive this, I’m going to survive it!

The fact of the matter is, Dr. Maya Angelou trail-blazed in so many personal and professional areas in her life that I never doubted that I could do the same. I honor her with this poem.

When an Eagle Dies

by Yolanda T. Amon Tribute to Dr. Maya Angelou You have fought on the front line You were courageous to write the unspeakable story You have beaten all of the odds and received much glory

You lived your life where others could see With mercy and perseverance you went from victim to victory Soared so high, unknown daughters and sons nod their heads and say well done And your message to us is loud and clear Don’t stop, keep going, and don’t you fear!

You’ve shaken hands with many both near and far in high and low places Now we pick up our pieces from right where we are I said I was phenomenal, that meant you too Now finish your work, you see it through It’s my time to leave, my time to die So turn over your nest, go ahead and fly And remember when an eagle dies it has soared so high That neither heaven nor earth would dare ask why

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR To the Editor: Friends of mine are from all levels of the political spectrum and have been asking me what I think about all that is going on in our country. So here is my reply: This country quickly is being fundamentally transformed as promised by the president.

Now how do we get out of this mess that “We the People” helped to create? We need something to offset the 50-plus percent of Americans who don’t know about or care about what is going on in our country, because the Chicago method of manipulation and control is being implemented nationwide.

That means we need to again

hit the streets with our friendly sign-carrying marches and demonstrations of a few years ago.

We need to get a lot of media attention by peaceful demonstrations. We must make use of the social media outlets available to us to get the word out. We need to educate our young people and point out what freedom really means.

I thought that originally our country was being turned into a European-style socialist country or a Communist country. But I am beginning to believe that the problem is much deeper. I really am beginning to believe that it goes beyond the secular-progressive-liberal ideology, and is more like a

INSTABILITY IN MIDEAST To the Editor: After spending a trillion dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan, what is next? We won the battle but are losing the nation-building war in Iraq from poor governance, lack of inclusion, and corruption. After living large on foreign aid, will the Iraqi military hold the Iraqi capital and oil centers?

A highly motivated insurgency is sweeping south and will seize more and more Iraqi military hardware, getting stronger thus controlling the oil fields, causing the collapse of the Iraqi state. There will be an even greater exodus of refugees to the surrounding foreign countries of Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Iran and Turkey. Thinking insurgents will be eying the oil rich state of Kuwait as a plum worth picking as the Iranians eye Iraq and the instability as worth exploiting.

Obama’s and the American people’s stomach for war and a crusade for democracy is now greatly diminished. This instability in the Mideast will end badly with even greater economic and oil sanctions in the region.

Dynamos II sends 16 to national competition

The athletes qualified at the Northern Illinois State Meet in Peoria on May 2 and 3. Dynamos II offers recreational and competitive tumbling, trampoline and cheer for ages two through 22, beginner or elite.

To qualify for Nationals, team members had to place individually, in the top 10 in their age group and division.

officials and some commentators on TV, directed not only at the events of his capture or the manner of his release but directed at his family.

What is wrong with these people? Has the polarization of our political process become so distorted that simple human decency has been forgotten? Is there no empathy of what his family has gone through, what he may have gone through?

Would they rather his capture ended up in his beheading?

Let the military proceed with fact-gathering, and let his family and our nation rejoice over the return of one of our sons.

The kids practice up to eight hours per week and attend at least one meet per month from October through June to prepare for Nationals in June. The team is coached

by Barrow and Assistant Coach Ashley Benson.

“They would all love to take first place at every meet, but their main objective is to better their own individual scores with each upcoming competition and strive to do the best they possibly can,” Barrow said.

Barrow’s hope is that her athletes come home feeling accomplished because they know they did the best they possibly could.

“We train them to be the best they can be,” Barrow said.

“It’s a process and takes time.

Of course, we would love to have some National Champions. That is our ultimate goal, and theirs.”

To the Editor: From the June 13 newspaper, on page 17, the article headlined, “Illinois Health Campaign among nations costliest,” I would like to rebut something said in the article.

From the first line: “President Barack Obama’s home state agreed to spend $33 million dollars ...”

My rebuttal is where it says, “President Barack Obama’s home state ....”

Illinois is not Obama’s home state. He was born in Kenya, and raised in Hawaii.

Also, how could he become president not being naturally born here.

How could this happen?

MORRIS GIRLS BASKETBALL SHOOTOUT

“What really is most rewarding in coaching is seeing so much growth in a program. These girls know it’s time to put the change that we’re going to see into practice.”

Plainfield South shooting for its best season ever

Plainfield South’s Kaylin Doran (left) puts up a shot over the hands of the Pleasant Plains defense Wednesday at the Morris Girls Basketball Shootout at Morris High School. girls know it’s time to put the change that we’re going to see into practice.

“I told these girls, ‘You will beat all the school records.

You will be the standard at our school.’ ” Senior guard Tyler Everett, who sat out some of the shootout after tweaking her knee, and sophomore point guard Jaianna Brooks, who also was absent, will be among the keys to the Cougars’ success.

Everett, who averaged 12.8 points last season and is the team’s best defender, and Kaylin Doran are the only seniors. Among the juniors are

6-4 Ally Fink and 5-6 Antwanetta Boswell, who combined for more than 12 points and 11 rebounds last season. Carter said Boswell likely will be the team’s second-leading scorer.

“It’s all these juniors plus Tyler [Everett],” Carter said. “I saw them play as eighth-graders and knew they would be the group to make the change in the program.”

Brooks also will contribute to the improvement, her youth notwithstanding.

“Jaianna came up as a freshman last year and earned the point guard job,” Carter said. “It wasn’t given to her.

“She’s been playing AAU out of Joliet. I saw her recently and she has made big improvements. She played amazing in a shootout at Grayslake.”

Everett, who has hopes of playing college basketball, has matured as a leader on and off the court.

“We’re very young,” Carter said. “We rely a lot on Tyler. She is going to amp it up this year. She is more in control and is beginning to be more of a leader.

“She was sitting next to me on the bench this game and was saying things that I’ve been saying. It’s nice to have

someone who mimics our philosophy.”

South hopes to have the full cast available for this big weekend.

“We’re in a shootout Saturday at Niles West and the top four teams will play at Allstate Arena before the Sky game, which is Sunday at noon,” Carter noted.

Carter was a three-sport star in volleyball, basketball and softball in high school at Salem, scoring more than 1,000 points in basketball She played three sports at Judson University and again scored more than 1,000 points.

A special education teacher, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer years ago and is proud to say she has been cancer free for six years. She was away from coaching for a while but is happy to be back at it.

Now, for that one major goal – helping the girls in the Cougars’ basketball program turn the corner.

“This is a real good group of kids,” she said. “Even when they’re losing, they don’t give up. They have a better attitude than we had the last couple of years by far. Now the parents know we have their kids’ best interest at heart, and that’s a big part of it, too.

“My goal is for us to double our wins, win 15 games, next season and finish in the top half of the conference. We beat the three Plainfields – East, North and Central – the second time around last season and hopefully can sneak by someone else next season.

“It takes that one breakout year.”

• Friday, June 20, 2014

MORRIS – Plainfield South had just suffered a lopsided loss to Pleasant Plains in the Morris Girls Shootout.

But that did not really matter.

The Cougars, 7-19 last season, were missing a couple of their key players, and the idea this summer is to prepare for the school’s best season ever.

“We won seven games last year, four in the Southwest Prairie Conference,” coach Leah Carter noted. “That’s the most wins and most conference wins ever. Plainfield South girls basketball has not been good.

“It takes that breakout year to really get a program going, You win more and kids want to play. This is our pivotal year.”

Carter, who is entering her fourth year at South, also is the head softball coach, having taken over for this spring season, and she coaches girls tennis.

“Our school has always been good in softball,” she said. “I walked into a gold mine there. Kids who start in softball stay with it.

“There were 16 in this senior class who played basketball as freshmen. There are two left as seniors. Understand, basketball is not an easy sport. If basketball were easy, everyone would do it.

An established program always should have 6-10 seniors in it. But basketball is a very grueling sport, and if kids aren’t motivated to keep playing, they don’t.”

Carter said a program’s breakout season, which she feels the upcoming one can be, can attract athletes who stay with it.

Area’s best begins pro baseball career Sam Travis repeats as Herald-News Division I Player of Year VIEWS Dick Goss Choosing the unofficial Herald-News NCAA Division I Baseball Player of the Year usually contains a certain degree of difficulty.

This season, however, Indiana junior first baseman Sam Travis (Providence) erased the mystery in a hurry.

Travis is the winner of our award for the second straight spring and there never was a doubt. He began the season on fire and was consistent throughout.

He finished with a .347 batting average for the Hoosiers (44-15) en route to being named Big Ten Player of the Year. He had 16 doubles, two triples, 12 home runs and 58 RBIs to go with a .576 slugging percentage and .415 on-base percentage for a .991 OPS. The former Herald-News Player of the Year while at Providence was named a second-team All-American

by Perfect Game and was a second-team pick on the Louisville Slugger All-America Team by College Baseball Magazine.

And now comes the professional side of his story. Travis was selected in the second round, 67th overall, by the Boston Red Sox in the draft early this month. He began playing this week with the Lowell Spinners in the Class A Short Season New York-Penn League and was 0-for-4 in his debut Wednesday.

Others who might have contended for the unofficial H-N Division I Player of the Year award in different seasons, or under different circumstances, were Illinois State senior catcher Mike Hollenbeck (Joliet Township), Iowa junior designated hitter Dan Potempa (Iowa), Eastern Illinois junior pitcher Matt Borens (Peotone), Illinois sophomore left-handers Tyler Jay (Lemont) and Kevin Duchene (Joliet Catholic) and Central Michigan junior left-hander Matt

Indiana slugger Sam Travis, a Providence graduate, has been named the unofficial Herald-News Division I Baseball Player of the Year and has begun his pro career in the Boston Red Sox organization.

Trowbridge (Providence).

Hollenbeck, who was selected by the White Sox in the 23rd round, signed and is with the Sox’s team in the Arizona Rookie League, where he is scheduled to make his pro debut Friday. He hit .338 with 18 doubles, two home runs and 41 RBIs for ISU (33-22). He also walked 28 times while striking out only 22.

Potempa, an outfielder by trade, spent most of this season as the designated hitter for Iowa (30-23) and finished at .330 with 13 doubles, three homers and 40 RBIs. He was a thirdteam All-Big Ten selection.

Borens, who was drafted by the Yankees in the 11th and has signed, went 6-4 with a 3.39 ERA for EIU (22-33-1), He struck out 100 in 109 innings to become the second EIU player to have 100 strikeouts in a season. The first was former major league All-Star Marty

Pattin.

Jay, a second-team All-Big Ten choice, became the closer for the Illini (32-21) and was 10for-10 in save opportunities. He finished 4-1 with a 1.94 ERA. He struck out 47 in 412⁄3 innings and held opponents to a .190 batting average.

Duchene began the season as the No. 1 starter for Illinois, but missed more than six weeks with an arm issue.

He did make nine starts in all, however, including a few at the end of the season, and finished 4-1 with a 1.80 ERA. In 55 innings, he allowed 43 hits and 11 walks, struck out 35 and limited opposing hitters to a .215 average.

Trowbridge also was somewhat limited with an arm issue but still was a 13th-round pick of the Baltimore Orioles.

He went 2-2 with a 2.59 ERA for Central Michigan (35-23). In 16 appearances, he pitched 311⁄3 in-

nings and allowed 17 hits and 24 walks while striking out 43.

Among other area players who competed on the Division I level this spring, Notre Dame sophomore outfielder Zak Kutsulis (Providence) and Northern Illinois sophomore infielder Tommy Hook (Lockport) both hit well much of the season before tailing off a bit toward the end. Kutsulis finished at .255 with nine doubles and 18 RBIs for the Irish (22-31) while Hook hit .257 with three doubles, two triples and 10 RBIs for the Huskies (17-36-1).

IN PRO BALL A few pro baseball updates of note: • Tanner Roark (Wilmington) continues to impress as a member of the Washington Nationals rotation. He is 3-1 with a 1.38 ERA in four starts in June and is 6-4 with a 2.85 ERA for the season. He has

allowed 77 hits and 20 walks while striking out 69 in 881⁄3 innings.

• Outfielder Joe Benson (Joliet Catholic) continued his hot streak at Jacksonville, Miami’s Double-A affiliate, and early this week, the Marlins moved him to Triple-A New Orleans. He left Jacksonville with a .277 average, 10 doubles, two triples, five home runs and 31 RBIs. He was 0-for-3 in his first three games at New Orleans.

• Left-hander Dietrich Enns (Lincoln-Way East) is pitching well for the Yankees’ Class A-Advanced affiliate at Tampa in the Florida State League.

He is 3-2 with a 1.42 ERA. In 13 games covering 251⁄3 innings, he has yielded 16 hits and 10 walks while striking out 26.

SLAMMERS

Slammers prepare for Rockford road trip

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – One day after making the most of a rain delay to help them stage a lategame comeback, the Joliet Slammers were frustrated by another rain delay.

So instead of being able to build some momentum on Wednesday’s 8-4 Frontier League victory over Normal, the Slammers never got to take the field or step to the plate.

The tarp was placed on the infield during the pregame and it remained there throughout as Thursday’s series finale

was eventually postponed be“I’m excited since we cause of the weather.

As a result, Joliet loses a moved the lineup around home game since its final date a little bit, and I feel like with Normal at Silver Cross Field will now be made up on we have the right personJuly 8, when the two squads kick off a series at The Corn nel on the offensive side Crib in Normal. and we’re starting to see Now the Slammers will set their sights on a road trip to our batting average rise.”

Rockford this weekend followed by three games at River Jeff Isom City before they return home Slammers manager on June 27th against Gateway.

“I’m excited since we moved the lineup around a lit- fensive side and we’re starttle bit, and I feel like we have ing to see our batting average the right personnel on the of- rise,” Slammers manager Jeff

Isom said. “I told our guys that the hotter it gets, the hotter our bats get and that’s good to see and we have to continue with that.

“We feel like what we saw in the seventh inning yesterday is what we kind of see with our club, like having four guys hitting over .300 in the middle of our lineup. There’s a lot of bright things that we’re seeing and we feel that we have the right pieces of the puzzle and we’re not too far away from where we need to be to get on a good roll.”

While the Slammers boss is pleased with the three-

through-six hitters in his lineup, with Russell Moldenhauer (.333), Grant DeBruin (.327), Adam Giacalone (.304) and Marquis Riley (.325) in those spots against Normal, and also with the work of his bullpen, Isom wants to see his squad relinquish its current distinction of leading the league in walks.

Joliet (13-16) is hoping to make some moves in its pitching staff over the next few days in an effort to begin moving up in the West Division standings, where it’s currently six games behind first-place Gateway.

Team to reconvene in Bourbonnais

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – It’s vacation time for the Bears. Well, kind of.

The team wrapped up its three-day mandatory minicamp Thursday in the Walter Payton Center, and coach Marc Trestman spoke to the players in the auditorium at Halas Hall.

He told the players: “It’s time to get away the next few weeks until training camp, but it’s not a vacation.”

“Guys have to get ready to go,” he said. “They have to have a plan to get ready to go, to optimize their strength and conditioning and to continue to develop their skills as we work.”

The 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement has minimized practice time, especially in pads, and Trestman said he showed the team the differences between camp in 2000 and 2014, and that the players can take advantage of the limited practice time if they show up to Bourbonnais ready to go.

The practice featured many reps for some of the players on the bottom of the roster, working with second- and thirdstring units, and Trestman was pleased with the effort on getaway day.

“I thought today was really

a good example of the kind of guys we have. They certainly could have had their cars started and one foot in the parking lot. That’s the way it is sometimes, on the last day going into a break, so to speak,” he said. “And that wasn’t the case and I told them that after practice. I thought they were locked in. The practice was fun.

“Good energy. Very efficient practice and competitive practice on both sides of the ball.”

Part of that energy came from the loudspeakers, as songs blared at the beginning of practice, including “Thunderstruck” and “Living on a Prayer.” Did the coach pipe in his own playlist to liven things up?

“I can’t say that it was,” Trestman said. “But there were a couple songs on there that I might want to put on my list.”

Attendance report: After missing the first two days of the mandatory minicamp, rookie defensive tackle Will Sutton was present and participating in drills. Kyle Long, Matt Slauson, Jordan Mills and Sherrick McManis did not practice.

ONE PROJECT, MANY GOALS New Lenox art teacher organizes chair project to teach art history on multiple levels

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

Artists and their works

dunland@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – To reproduce Vincent Van Gogh’s “Starry Night on a child’s chair, Sophia Gomez, 11, created stars with splashes of yellow paint.

“I thought it was the coolest chair in the world,” Sophia said.

“I wanted to keep it for myself.”

Tammy Kordik, artist and art teacher at Nelson Ridge and Nelson Prairie schools in New Lenox, won’t pass up opportunities to share her love of art and art history with her students and that includes those 27 fifthand sixth-graders she mentors at Nelson Ridge’s art club.

So when Kordik bought eight little school chairs at a market, she couldn’t resist using them for a project that accomplished all her goals: having her art club students reproduce eight pieces of famous artwork on those chairs so the younger students could sit on them when flipping through art history books.

“I always find ways to bring art into my classroom,” Kordik said. “As a child, I always loved books. But the thing I liked about them was the pictures.”

Art, art history and kids are one blended joy for Kordik, who began drawing animals in grade school, painting oil landscapes in high school and then decided, in college, that she preferred working with the kids and encouraging their creativity than simply making her own fine art.

Thus inspired, Kordik changed her major to art education – graduating from Northern Illinois in 1983 – and is now working on a master’s degree in painting from Governor State University.

When her own children were small, Kordik painted murals as a side job.

She takes especial delight in painting – from her original photographs – the stages of life of the many different kinds of leaves, which mimic her own journey through life, Kordik

Below are artists and their works featured on the art chairs, as well as the rationale behind the choices: n Sonia Delaunay – “Rythme:” use of concentric lines and shapes in art and where that’s found in nature n Henri Matisse – “The Purple Robe:” use of pattern in art, curved lines to show three dimensions n Pablo Picasso – “Portrait de Marie-Therese:” how to abstract objects by changing size, shape, color or point of view n Leonardo Da Vinci – “Mona Lisa:” landscape within a portrait, proportions of head n Vincent Van Gogh – “Starry Night:” use of line to show movement, difference between warm and cool colors, landscape n Vincent Van Gogh – “SunflowPhotos provided ers:” texture in artwork, still life Alyssa Clarke and Naimh McNamee work on a chair that younger students will use when reading about art n Andy Warhol – “Tomato Soup history. BELOW: Students in Tammy Kordik’s Nelson Ridge art club painted these chairs with their renditions Can:” pop art, mass production of of actual art pieces. art, printmaking n Grant Wood – “American Gothdients.

“They [art club students] ic:” mood, portraiture

said.

However, through teaching art, Kordik has expanded her use of mediums beyond oils.

“I’ve done sculpture and printmaking, for myself and with the kids,” Kordik said. “I also love acrylics for the speed of it.”

The first time Kordik accepted the challenge of painting a three-dimensional surface was in 2004, when she participated in “Benches on the Avenue” in Tinley Park. Kordik called

her bench “Education: The Benchmark of Our Children’s Future,” and illustrated key components of an excellent education: create, explore, participate, dream, discover.

Kordik had intended to paint the chairs herself, one or two at a time during the summer. But while seeking a new service project for the art club (in the past, they made placemats for nursing home residents, Kordik said), Kordik suddenly realized she already had the raw ingre-

worked on it as a group,” Kordik said. “They learned about the artist, the colors, the size of brush to use and that it was a lot more challenging to paint something three-dimensional than a flat surface.”

The project began last fall and was not completed until April. The students painted canvas board – which would become the chair’s backs, covering the slats – and painted directly on the chairs themselves.

The results amazed Kordik.

“The group I had this year was unbelievably talented,” Kordik said. “I knew they would be able to pull this off, but they exceeded my expectations.”

Sophia Gomez, 11, one of the students that worked on it, felt the project started off hard, but grew easy, especially knowing its end result: fostering a love of good art in children.

“Art can bring out happiness in a child,” Sophia said. “A kid can be having a bad day, but

maybe he’ll come home and there will be new crayons on the table. He can draw whatever he wants.”

Kordik’s family even contributed to the project. Her daughter, Christa, suggested the Mona Lisa’s skirt be carried over the chair’s seat. Kordik’s husband, Mike, coated the chairs with an acrylic sealer and then screwed the paintings onto the chairs.

Before arranging them in the art room for the younger students’ use, Kordik and her art club students showcased their work before a school assembly of 500 people, Kordik said.

Kordik said she knew the hard work was worth it the day the younger students played a memory game with little cards featuring artists and their work.

“They recognized a couple of them from the chairs,” Kordik said.

“JERSEY BOYS” STARRING: John Lloyd Young, Erich Bergen and Michael Lomenda

PLOT: The story of four young men from the wrong side of the tracks in New Jersey who came together to form the iconic 1960s rock group The Four Seasons.

RATED: R for language throughout TIME: 2 hours, 14 minutes VERDICT: Movies of musicals are usually a crash course for Hollywood A-listers. Actors not known for their singing skills are suddenly expected to warble their way through a story.

You see Meryl Streep shimmying and strutting to Abba in “Mamma Mia!” and Renee Zellweger hitting the high notes in “Chicago,” Johnny Depp cutting hair and throats while channeling Sondheim in “Sweeney Todd” and Hugh Jackman making us weep as Jean Valjean in “Les Miserables.” And what about the Broadway superstars who gave the musicals the cachet to warrant the film adaptations? They’re still performing night after night onstage, since their names aren’t recognizable enough to score big box office numbers – much less get proper introductions at the Oscars (ahem, Adele Dazeem). “Jersey Boys” is an exception. The most recognizable stars in Clint Eastwood’s adaptation of the Tony-winning play about the 1960s band the Four Seasons are Christopher Walken and that guy from “The Sopranos” (who upon post-movie Googling turns out to be Steve Schirripa). John Lloyd Young plays Frankie Valli, a role the actor originated on Broadway.

He won a Tony for his work, but this is only his second feature film after a 2009 romantic comedy called “Oy Vey! My Son Is Gay!” Young might not be a household name, but he can sing and act onstage and on camera. And the rest of the cast is also made up of musical theater talent: Michael Lomenda, who plays the deep-voiced Nick Massi, and Erich Bergen, as singer-songwriter Bob Gaudio, both return to roles they played during the show’s first national tour. The fourth band member, Tommy DeVito, is played by “Boardwalk Empire” regular Vincent Piazza. The cast list isn’t the only way Eastwood stays true to the original incarnation. Seeing the movie onscreen is a lot like seeing it in a playhouse – and that’s OK. After all, the story is dramatic, with its tale of kids from a rough neighborhood who shoot to fame. Plus, the dialogue is witty and the music is phenomenal.

The movie, like the play, also overstuffs the plot. Overall though, fans of the play will be pleased. And for those

who love the Four Seasons’ music but haven’t made it to the play, this is a much more affordable way to very nearly re-create the experience. – The

Washington Post

“THE ROVER” STARRING: Guy Pearce, Robert Pattinson, Scoot McNairy

PLOT: Ten years after a global economic collapse, a hardened, ruthless ex-soldier tracks down the men who stole his only possession. As he travels through the lawless Australian outback, he takes a damaged young man as his unwitting accomplice.

RATED: R for language and some blood violence TIME: 1 hour, 42 minutes VERDICT: Guy Pearce and Robert Pattinson star in this Australian dystopian crime drama from director David Michod. Fusing a number of quasi-apocalyptic influences into a hybrid work with a pungent character of its own, “The Rover” suggests something like a Cormac McCarthy vision of Australia halfway between today and “The Road Warrior” era.

David Michod’s follow-up to his internationally successful debut, the Melbourne gangster saga “Animal Kingdom,” is equally murderous but more pared down to basics, as desperate men enact a survival-of-the-meanest scenario in an economically gutted world reduced to Old West outlaw behavior. It’s a time “10 years after the collapse,” when, from the evidence, the Australian economy has gone south and locals are reduced to scavengers while Asian mining interests control the purse strings. While taciturn loner Eric (Guy Pearce) makes a pit stop in a ratty Asian roadside lounge, three desperate characters – nasty old Archie (David Field), young black man Caleb (Tawanda Maryimo) and hot-headed American Henry (Scoot McNairy) – ditch their pickup truck and steal Eric’s sedan. Jumping into the pickup, an incensed Eric gives chase and, after an unusual stop-and-start pursuit, ends up very much the worse for wear. But these distractions are soon kicked to the side of the road by the appearance of the badly wounded Rey (Robert Pattinson), Henry’s younger brother, who was left behind after a gun battle. Frazzled and fried, Rey speaks in a halting, fractured manner that suggests he might not be quite all there upstairs. But he wants to get Henry, so he and Eric, men near the end of

their respective ropes, head further into the outback to settle some scores with mutual nemeses. It’s a journey that writer-director Michod, who developed the story with actor Joel Edgerton, uses to explore a multitude of extremes – of desperation, soullessness, viciousness and environmental hostility. Always commanding attention at the film’s center is Pearce, who gives Eric all the cold-hearted remorselessness of a classic Western or film noir antihero who refuses to die before exacting vengeance for an unpardonable crime. At least as responsible for giving “The Rover” its distinctive tone as the unnerving violence, edgy performances, parched settings and Natasha Braier’s superior cinematography (film, not digital, was the medium of choice) is Antony Partos’ extraordinary soundtrack, which, in its wild, idiosyncratic weirdness, is probably the most effectively eccentric and radical film score since Jonny Greenwood’s for “There Will Be Blood.”– The Associated Press

“THINK LIKE A MAN TOO” STARRING: Kevin Hart, Gabrielle Union, Wendi McLendon-Covey

PLOT: All the couples are back for a wedding in Las Vegas, but plans for a romantic weekend go awry when their various misadventures get them into some compromising situations that threaten to derail the big event.

RATED: PG-13 for crude sexual content including references, partial nudity, language and drug material TIME: 1 hour, 46 minutes VERDICT: And I told myself I wouldn’t laugh. “Think Like a Man Too,” the derivative, intermittently amusing follow-up to the surprise hit romcom from 2012, is so frenetically paced and hysterically pitched that it makes almost no room for simple enjoyment. Propelled by a screaming voice-over performance from Kevin Hart and director Tim Story’s hyper-emphatic approach to everything from line readings to editing and music, this ensemble enterprise – about four couples experiencing the ups and downs of girl-guy relationships – comes at the audience like a fire hose, assaulting them with endless chatter and parallel action until we just want to beg everyone involved simply to slow down and let themselves breathe. Such are the uneven but distinctive pleasures of “Think Like a Man Too,” which finds

the original film’s accomplished, spectacularly attractive cast still young and gorgeous two years down the road. Dominic and Lauren (Michael Ealy, Taraji P. Henson) are happily ensconced as a couple, their class differences settled for the moment; college sweethearts Jeremy and Kristen (Jerry Ferrara, Gabrielle Union) are trying for a baby, at least in between Jeremy’s bong hits; Zeke and Mya (Romany Malco, Meagan Good) are still together, despite Zeke’s checkered past as a quintessential player; and Michael and Candace (Terrence Jenkins, Regina Hall) are getting married – in Las Vegas, where the whole crew has gathered for the ceremony and night-before festivities. Like the first film – based on Steve Harvey’s self-help book “Act Like a Lady But Think Like a Man” – this installment falls prey to all manner of gender stereotypes. The movie ultimately lands like a thinly veiled lecture, with Hart helpfully delivering the moral upshot – about compromise, sacrifice and letting go of the past – just in case someone in the audience accidentally ingested one of Jeremy’s THC-infused breath strips.– The Washington Post

“HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON 2” 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 Associated Press

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Be happy to give them their due

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Hesiod, an early Greek poet, said, “Observe due measure, for right timing is in all things the most important factor.”

That applies to many bridge contracts, either to make or to break them. This deal gives both sides a chance for good timing once North-South push into four hearts.

West leads the spade two.

How can East defeat the contract? How can South get home if East wins the first trick and tries to cash a second spade winner?

The bidding was difficult.

When one spade came around, North thought about making a takeout double, but was rightly nervous about having only two hearts. After North balanced with two clubs, South might have passed, but advanced with two hearts, knowing that his partner would remember that he had not immediately made a two-heart overcall. North cuebid two spades to show a strong hand and ask his partner to bid no-trump with a spade stopper.

(Five clubs can be defeated after a trump lead.)

East beats four hearts if he shifts to the diamond queen at trick two. This gives the defenders the tempo to collect one spade, two hearts and one diamond. But that is not clearcut.

If East tries to cash a second spade trick, South should ruff and be willing to give the defenders one spade and two hearts. He should ignore the trump finesse and cash his top hearts. Then he turns to the clubs and gets his diamond losers away in time.

ADVICE Wife may live with man’s band, brother Dear Abby: My husband, “Vinny,” and I were married 11 years when he left me for another woman. Eight months later he decided the grass wasn’t greener on that side of the fence and came back. Our marriage is better now than it was before the affair.

Seven months later his younger brother “Nicky” got divorced and moved in with us. A short while after that, Vinny and Nicky joined a band.

It has been a year now, and my brother-in-law is still here.

I am more than ready for him to move out, but every time I mention it, Vinny says Nicky has “just” gone through a divorce and “we’re all he has.”

I hate all the time Vinny devotes to the band. I try not to complain because I know how much he enjoys it, but I’m miserable. They practice in our basement on Mondays and

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Wednesdays, and every Friday and Saturday night is spent performing.

I have no privacy! How do I get Nicky out of here? Should I push the issue with the band or let it go? My parents are furious with Vinny. They say he’s reliving his childhood, Nicky is taking advantage and Vinny is taking me for granted. Can you offer some advice? – Hurting In New York Dear Hurting: Your brother-inlaw should have been out of your house a month after he moved in. Tell Vinny you’ve had it with this experiment in communal living, set an exit date for Nicky and stick to it. If your husband

refuses to listen to reason, then he is sending you a strong message that your wishes are not important.

As for Vinny’s participation in the band, he and the other band members must be talented or they wouldn’t be booked every Friday and Saturday night. Look at the bright side: When they’re rehearsing in your basement, at least you know where your husband is and what he’s doing.

Marriage is a compromise, so learn to enjoy the music, but cultivate interests and hobbies of your own.

And last but not least, stop involving your parents in your problems. You’re a big girl now.

If you don’t tell all, they’ll have fewer negative feelings about your husband.

Hip flexor strain requires rest, then stretching Dear Doctor K: I’ve strained a muscle where my hip meets my pelvis. What can I do to relieve the discomfort?

Dear Reader: It sounds like you’ve strained your hip flexor.

That’s a group of muscles that runs from your lower back to the front of your thigh. These muscles help flex your hip when you lift your leg to the front. A hip flexor strain can lead to pain where your thigh meets your pelvis, as well as pain or pinching when you pull your knee to your chest or when you climb stairs.

Many activities can cause a hip flexor strain. Possible culprits include heavy lifting or pushing, biking (especially if your seat isn’t high enough), martial arts, or running with knees lifted high.

When you first strain your hip, rest it and apply ice. Pain medications such as acetaminophen, ibuprofen or naproxen can help ease discomfort. If the pain is severe, use crutches to take weight off the area.

After swelling improves, usually in several days, do some gentle stretches. Then begin strength exercises aimed at rebuilding muscles.

I’ll describe two hip-strengthening exercises. (I’ve put pho-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tographs demonstrating proper form on my website, AskDoctorK. com.)

• Kneeling Hip Flexor Stretch.

Kneel on a padded mat. Put your right leg in front of you with the knee bent at a 90-degree angle and foot flat on the floor. Place your hands on your right thigh for support. Lean forward, pressing into the hip of your left leg while keeping your right foot on the floor. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds.

Do three to four reps, then switch legs.

• Cobbler’s Pose. Sit on the floor. Bring the soles of your feet together and let your knees fall apart toward the floor. Place your hands on your ankles. Hinge forward from your hips until you feel the stretch in your inner thighs. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds.

Repeat three to four times.

Other good hip exercises include walking in chest-high water, low-resistance biking, using an elliptical trainer and walking on level ground.

A reader recently wrote me

with this question: “How is it that you can answer so many different questions in different fields? How do you learn all that?”

I wish I could tell you that I carry around all the answers in my brain. But there are so many different fields and specialties in medicine that no one person can possibly master all of them.

A hundred years ago, medical science was in its infancy.

There were some doctors who really did “know it all.” That is, they knew everything that was known. The problem was that practically nothing was known.

There weren’t cures for most diseases.

In writing this column, I frequently consult with my colleagues at Harvard Medical School who are experts on the questions readers ask. I’m happy that I came of age as a doctor at a time when medical science had made enormous advances. If I don’t know the answer that might help you, I know where I can find it.

Mother does not want son to take on her bad habit Dr. Wallace: I really need your help. I’m a single mother and have a son who is 14. I am a chain smoker and have been smoking since I was 14. The boy I liked at that time was 18 and he introduced me to the “enjoyment” of cigarettes. By the time I was 15, I was smoking a pack of cigarettes daily.

Back then finding money to support my habit was not a problem due to the low cost of a pack of cigarettes.

Once my mother discovered that I was a smoker she wasn’t terribly angry because she, too, was hooked on cigarettes. I can’t remember when mom didn’t smoke, and she still smokes today.

When I was a teen if I didn’t have enough money to buy my own cigarettes, I would “borrow” them from mom. I wasn’t thrilled about smoking her cigarettes because I enjoyed smoking my own brand. That’s my history of “tobacco and me.”

Ever since my son was 10, I told him not to follow in my footsteps and to avoid cigarettes.

Last weekend I came home from shopping early and, to my dismay, I caught my son and his girlfriend puffing on my cigarettes. I put him on restriction for two weeks and told him we would have a discussion about not smoking when he served his punishment.

That time is almost here.

Please help me explain to him why he shouldn’t smoke, even if his mother does and has no plans to stop smoking. – Mom, Cum-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace berland, Maryland Dear Mom: The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services confirmed in a survey that children whose parents smoke are at a much greater risk of smoking themselves.

But when parents who smoke let their children know clearly and repeatedly that they don’t approve, it can be effective, so here are the recommended suggestions: 1. Spell out the reasons why your child shouldn’t smoke. Keep in mind that he is more likely to respond to the immediate effects – the cost, smelly clothes, yellow teeth and bad breath – rather than the long-term health risks associated with smoking.

2. Set consequences for smoking, and be prepared to follow through. Let him know that smoking is simply unacceptable.

3. Share your story.

Talk about why you started to smoke. If you began smoking because your friends smoked, tell him. When you first started, how long did you think you would keep smoking?

Has that changed? Talk about your addiction to cigarettes and the effect smoking has had on your health.

If you have tried to quit, make sure he knows how difficult it is.

In “The Rover,” a post-apocalyptic drama in the style of “Mad Max,” Guy Pearce (left) and Robert Pattinson set out on a journey across the Australian Outback.

‘The Rover’: Bleak, lawless poetry, mate

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post The world of “The Rover” is a vast, pitiless expanse, a desolate patch of the Australian Outback 10 years after a Western economic collapse in which survivors roam like snarling, post-apocalyptic zombies, fighting over a broken society’s scraps with Darwinian aggression.

If the setting and mood of “The Rover” evokes “Mad Max,” director David Michod still makes those familiar elements his own in a film that, even at its most trite and, ultimately, sentimentally facile, possesses moments of astonishing assurance and austere beauty. Co-written by Joel Edgerton – who starred in Michod’s breakout 2010 crime thriller, “Animal Kingdom” – “The Rover” too often succumbs to the kind of pseudo-literary pretensions most often associated with Cormac McCarthy: arty, self-serious posturing meant to disguise its true intent, which is to indulge in pulp violence at its most graphic and fetishistic.

The saving grace, in this case, comes by way of Michod’s own poetic sense of framing and composition, as well as a galvanizing lead performance from the great, scandalously underrated Austra-

lian actor Guy Pearce.

Pearce plays Eric, who becomes reluctantly involved with a gang of criminals who steal his car. While methodically pursuing them to get the vehicle back, he eventually crosses paths with Rey (Robert Pattinson), an intellectually challenged American – working in Australia as a miner – who becomes Eric’s dubious wing-man.

The two make their way across the grim Australian landscape like a latter-day “Of Mice and Men,” with Eric imparting filial wisdom and his own skeptical worldview to Rey, who gratefully absorbs it like the abandoned but unfailingly loyal little brother that he is.

Like the classic Westerns from which “The Rover” takes its most basic contours, the men’s journey enables them to meet all manner of characters on the way to the final showdown. One of the most memorable is Eric’s encounter with a gentle-mannered older woman who turns out to be as tough and morally wizened as the surliest inhabitants of a wasteland that has descended into lawlessness, anarchy and casual depravity.

Working with cinematographer Natasha Braier, Michod coats everything within sight in various shades of dust,

the bleak visuals echoed in Antony Partos’ harsh, dissonant electronic score.

Into this joyless world, Michod manages to imprint his own signature, from the way he and Braier move the camera to establish figures within their larger environment, to the startling image of a car turning somersaults outside a diner window while a man obliviously huddles at the counter in the scene’s foreground.

(There’s also an amusingly meta scene of R-Patz singing “Pretty Girl Rock,” in which he makes a clever and convincing case for accepting him outside his “Twilight”-created pop stardom.)

As impressive as these flourishes are, what makes “The Rover” more watchable than the average self-conscious genre exercise is Pearce, who exudes such weary authority and palpable vulnerability that he’s sympathetic even in the film’s most brutalizing moments.

“The Rover” finally doesn’t add up to much, but if it brings Pearce to the top of more casting lists in the future, it’s well worth the trip.

• “The Rover” received two-and-ahalf stars out of four. The film is rated R and contains profanity and some bloody violence. It runs 102 minutes.
