Joliet hotel changes name New Clarion hotel had been Holiday Inn since 1971

By BILL WIMBISCUS

bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet’s largest hotel took on a new name last week.

The longtime Holiday Inn Hotel & Conference Center Joliet, 411 S. Larkin Ave., is now the Clarion Hotel & Convention Center Joliet.

It’s a notable moment, since the hotel had been a Holiday Inn since 1971. But Holiday Inn plans to put its brand on a new hotel and conference center slated to open in 2015 at the Houlbolt Road interchange with Interstate 80.

When that facility opens, it is likely to be major competition for the newly named Clarion Hotel & Conference Center, which also enjoys a location off an I-80 interchange.

Co-owner John Seo said his new 20-year partnership with Clarion is an opportunity to focus on the facility’s strengths – its 200 rooms, large banquet facility and restaurant.

“This hotel is the largest in Joliet,” Seo said. “We’re about two or three times larger than most other hotels in the area.”

Debra Freund, general manager for Clarion Joliet, said the hotel’s convention services are unique in the area and will help it stay competitive.

“There’s not any other full service banquet facilities with choice in the area,” Freund said, referring to the hotel’s restaurant and bar.

The 14,000-square-foot convention center can cater to up to 700 people, Freund said. The restaurant, 80 North, serves up to 120 customers.

In years past, the center focused primarily on conventions and seminars, especially one- and two-day educational programs, Freund said.

But weddings and quinceañeras – celebrations

ON THE COVER U.S. Army soldiers remove the casket of U.S. Army Pfc. Aaron Toppen from a hearse on Saturday. Toppen was one of five American soldiers killed June 9 in a friendly-fire air strike in the Zabul province of Afghanistan.

Bill Wimbiscus – bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com

Workers install the new sign at Clarion Hotel & Convention Center Joliet, 411 S. Larkin Ave., on Wednesday. for Hispanic girls’ 15th birthdays – have become a growing trend, she said. The banquet facility gets a lot of bookings on Fridays and Saturdays in the summer for these types of events.

The center now hosts a bridal expo and fashion show each March, Freund said, which generates a lot of business for the facility.

“We’ve been getting heavily into the bridal market,” Freund said.

For years, the hotel served as the convention site for the Joliet Hawaiian Music Festival. In recent years, the venue has been used by the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry and Will County Center for Economic Development for events. The Old Timers Baseball Association of Will County holds fundraisers there.

“We love to have the Old Timers in January,” Seo said.

Beyond the change in signage, the hotel essentially will remain the same.

Seo and partner John Rhee purchased the hotel 16 years ago. The two men added the banquet room and restaurant in 2005.

The hotel’s exterior was renovated last November, Seo said. The hotel also upgraded TV sets in all 200 rooms to 42-inch LCDs at that time, he said.

Meanwhile, plans for the new convention center with two hotels at I-80 and Houbolt Road are moving forward.

The complex will include a 120-room Holiday Inn and an 80-room Candlewood Suites connected to a conference center that would include a restaurant and fitness center. The complex is being developed by Hospitality Guru Group of Aurora.

A second Holiday Inn in Minooka, is being developed

by Marquette Properties Inc., which expects to begin construction late this summer.

That hotel would include 83 rooms.

But Seo is confident about his niche in the local market because of his hotel’s focus on larger events and the subsequent need to serve more customers,.

“Holiday Inn is moving towards smaller facilities,” Seo said. “[Our facility] doesn’t really fit with Holiday Inn anymore.”

Mokena gathers as fallen soldier’s body is brought home

Funeral services for Pfc. Aaron Toppen

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MOKENA – The skies opened up and lightning flashed in the sky over Mokena on Saturday afternoon, but nothing could keep away the hundreds of people lining 191st Street and Wolf Road to welcome home the body of Army Pfc. Aaron Toppen.

Toppen was one of five American soldiers killed June 9 in friendly-fire airstrike in southern Afghanistan. The Lincoln-Way East High School graduate’s body arrived back on U.S. soil last week and was returned Saturday to Mokena with a motorcade of motorcycles, trucks and police.

Standing in the rain was Lynn Troester of Frankfort, mother of Air Force Airman Ryan Troester, a high school friend of Toppen.

“My son, Ryan, said just hours before Toppen was killed he received a Snapchat saying he was going into one of the deadliest areas,” Troester said. “They talked every day.”

She said the two graduated from Lincoln-Way East in 2013, and both had dreams of serving their country.

“They both drove trucks with American flags, and they’d go to country concerts with their trucks and flags and they were as proud as they could be,” she said. “They were good friends. They’d fish and hunt and they had a special bond because they both wanted to serve in the military.”

She stood crying as she reminisced about Toppen and her son’s times together. Ryan was unable to get leave from Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio, so she and her other children came to show their respect.

“It’s very scary, very frustrating, very real; especially in the war we’re in,” she said.

“It brings it home, it’s devastating. Yet, I’m very proud of them.”

“This man sacrificed his life for our country. ...

I plan to go into the Marines and if I make the ultimate sacrifice for my country I’d hope people would come out.”

Ricky Aguinaga

Veteran Jeffery Viens said he and his wife had come from Glendale Heights as he placed U.S. flags in the ground along the curb on 191st Street on Saturday in preparation for the arrival.

“We would have come further if we needed to,” Robin Viens said.

The route from Midway

airport to Vandenberg Funeral Home in Mokena was lined with thousands of yellow ribbons, American flags and people of all ages.

Boy Scout Troop 318 of Orland Park was placing flags at the corner of 191st Street at Wolf Road, where the motorcade would turn to take the last leg of the route to the funeral

home.

“This man sacrificed his life for our country, our freedom,” 15-year-old Eagle Scout Ricky Aguinaga said. “I plan to go into the Marines and if I make the ultimate sacrifice for my country I’d hope people would come out.”

Aguinaga’s 11-year-old brother, Joe, said coming out to hold flags was the least they

could do after all Toppen did for the country.

Stacy Clement with Project Patriotism handed out more than 500 flags to community members who gathered at 191st Street and Wolf Road.

“We’re here to honor Pfc. Toppen,” Clement said. “Our organization started to welcome home soldiers a year ago so people would know when a soldier was coming home if they wanted to come out to honor him.”

She said this is the second time in less than a month that they’ve honored a fallen soldier, and while that wasn’t in the organization’s original goals they will continue to come out and notify the 3,000 members of the organization’s Facebook page where they can meet. The group was present in Morris for the return of Marine Lance Cpl. Steven Hancock’s body May 28.

As the rain stopped and the sun started to shine again, the processional turned the corner onto Wolf Road to streets lined with people standing at attention, saluting or placing their hand over their hearts as the motorcade drove past.

Patriot Guard assistant ride captain Mike Cozzi, who organized the Patriot Guard to escort Toppen and his family back to Mokena, exited the funeral home after Army personnel took Toppen’s remains inside in with his family following, and said the family wanted to thank everyone for coming out.

Farmers market celebrates the past and present Vendors for this year’s Joliet Farmers Market:

By BILL WIMBISCUS

bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – What started out in the early 1990s as three vendors in the plaza across the street from the Rialto Square Theatre has grown into a summer-long street fair.

The Joliet Farmers Market kicked off its 2014 season Friday with more than 20 vendors selling produce, food, jewelry and more on the 0 to 100 block of North Chicago Street.

“People are finally realizing they can come downtown and it’s great place to be,” said Cam Barnett, who has been involved in organizing the market for 13 years.

New to this year’s market are vendors Chef Dale’s Sensational Spreads, Sajari Q and Olive Gallery, as well as weekly lunchtime entertainment.

The market is open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Fridays on Chicago Street between West Jefferson and Van Buren streets.

The market hearkens back to the 1950s and early 1960s, when farmers would park their trucks downtown and

Emily Stoddard of Joliet selects tomatoes from M&D/Bothwell Farms at the Joliet Farmers Market. sell produce off the back, Barnett said.

Fresh vegetables and fruit remains one of the market’s main anchors today.

M&D/Bothwell Farms of New Lenox and Homer Glen offers a variety of greens, radishes, tomatoes and fruits.

They’ve come to the Joliet market for the past four years.

“We sell a lot of tomatoes and fruit,” said manager Karen Bothwell. “We love it down here.”

Sweet corn is another perennial favorite, although it won’t be ready for another week or two, Bothwell said.

Other vendors offer prepared snacks and meals.

Chef Dale’s Sensational Spreads offered spinach artichoke dip, carmelized onion spread, black bean and corn salsa and bruschetta Friday.

“All of them have a ‘pop,’ ” owner Dale Andrews, of Orland Park, said, as he offered free samples.

n Blankenship Farm: Fresh fruits and vegetables n Olive Gallery: Flavored and regular olive oils, vinegars and other products n Gji’s Sweet Shoppe: Popcorn, cotton candy, lemonade, slushes n Parmesan’s Wood Stone Pizza: Breads and rolls, hot pizza, desserts and take-home pizzas n Enjoi Bakery: Homemade cupcakes, pies, quick breads, cookies n Chef Dales Sensational Spreads: Spreads, dips, bruchetta n Cornerstone Services: Gourds, vegetables, rugs, baskets n M & D Farms: Produce, honey, fresh cut flowers n Barkies Bakery: Dog and cat treats and accessories n Sajari Q: Greeting cards, body butters, mismatched matching jewelry n Dad’s Roadhouse: Salad dressings, salsas, pickled products n Other vendors include: A Charming Idea (jewelry), Avon, Pampered Chef, Tupperware, Something Different (silver jewelry, watches, scarves), Red Goose Bakery & Café, Joliet Township High School (cookbooks), Tim Performa (sunglasses) Parmesan’s Wood Stove Pizza of Frankfort offered “pizza pops,” breads and takehome pizzas.

“The pizza pops are probably our most popular item,” said vendor Anna Bradley.

“They’re like a calzone.”

New to market this year is lunchtime entertainment and demonstrations, mostly from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Upcoming programs will focus on fishing/casting, dancing and composting, as

well as entertainment by the Joliet Township High School Band, the American Legion Band, Grifters & Shills and Tommy Slaboszewski.

The market runs weekly each Friday through September, rain or shine.

“We’ve had a few rainouts over the years, and a few blowouts with tents flying in the air,” Barnett said.

“But we have die-hards who still come no matter what the weather.”

Collins Street prison site may be tested for contamination

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Undeveloped land just east of the Old Joliet Correctional Center could soon be tested for elevated levels of metals and other contaminants, following a report this spring that found the soil is “highly likely” to be contaminated.

The report also said contamination could limit development options on the 160acre site that Joliet hopes to see turned into a park or some other new use.

The site, which lies just east of the old Collins Street prison extending about a halfmile east of Collins Street between Woodruff Road and

Dartmouth Avenue, was once home to two stone quarry ponds and had been used for decades as a shooting range for the Illinois Department of Corrections. The site is owned by the state of Illinois.

Several city, county and state stakeholders have been in talks about the Prison East site’s potential for recreational use, said Ralph Schultz, director of planning and operations for the Forest Preserve District of Will County. But it’s likely the site will require environmental remediation before anything can be done with the property, he said.

The extent and cost of cleanup depends on what’s found in the soil, he said.

Carlson Environmental

Inc., a Chicago-based consulting firm that specializes in environmental and land surveying services, noted discoloration and staining in sections of the soil this spring – a clear sign of contaminants.

They recommended that a comprehensive soil sampling be done, Schultz said.

To move forward with the testing, the forest preserve district passed a resolution earlier this month seeking assistance from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency for an assessment of the site, Schultz said. Previous IEPA reports had found elevated levels of metals in select areas where prison industries once operated.

“The identification of en-

vironmental conditions on the Prison East property is critical to its potential future development for public open space and recreation,” the resolution states.

Schultz said he anticipates the IEPA will designate the grounds as a “brownfield” site – or a parcel of real property that may be contaminated but has potential for redevelopment. The state agency would likely cover the costs of the assessment, he said.

Representatives from the city of Joliet, Joliet Park District, Openlands and the Forest Preserve District of Will County, among others, toured the Prison East site last year to look at redevelopment potential.

The site could be used for a mix of recreational uses, such as organized sports, hiking and fishing, according to a January 2012 technical assistance panel convened by the Urban Land Institute and the Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning.

Other community activities, including urban agriculture, could also be explored, the report states.

While IEPA will likely cover the costs of the assessment, who pays for the environmental cleanup depends on a number of factors.

According to legislation that stalled earlier this year,

Minooka school board hires search firm D-111 superintendent sought

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – A search firm will help Minooka Community High School District 111 find its next superintendent.

The school board last week approved hiring Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates for $15,500 to help in the search for a superintendent and an interim administrator.

Board President Mike Brozovich said after the meeting on Thursday he thought it unlikely they would be able to find a qualified superintendent as quickly as the school district needs one, so an interim administrator would probably be needed in the meantime.

On May 23, the board voted unanimously to oust its current superintendent, Jim Colyott, giving him 90 days termination notice. Colyott had previously been presented with a vote of no confidence by district teachers. During his remaining three months in the position, the board has limited

Colyott’s role primarily to assisting in the transition to the new administrator.

Two residents at the Thursday meeting asked how the district could afford overlapping salaries of two superintendents for the upcoming year.

According to the district’s website, Colyott currently earns an annual salary, stipends and other payments of $210,000, with the district contributing another $19,917 in insurance.

His contract doesn’t expire until June 30, 2015.

The school board did not respond to the question of overlapping salaries. Asked about it after the meeting, Brozovich said he had no comment.

Tax abatement approved The board Thursday also gave its approval, with Karen Buchanan dissenting, for the concept of the village of Channahon’s property tax abatement for Industrial Developments International.

An intergovernmental agree-

IEPA results would not be available for a few months • LAND

Continued from page 4 the state would have been liable for cleanup costs under an agreement to sell the property to Joliet for $10.

At the same time, under federal law, any party who owns or has recently purchased a contaminated site could, in theory, be held liable for all the cleanup costs.

The legislation stalled amid concerns about the state’s liability should the former prison site require environmental remediation.

It’s possible that redevelopment of the Prison East site could move forward regardless of whether the prison itself – which is rapidly deteriorating – is redeveloped.

“One of the greatest bene-

ment could be presented to the school board for approval later this summer.

The multi year abatement would be used in the development of an industrial and logistics center northeast of the Bluff Road interchange with Interstate 55. There also would be improvements to the interchange. Water and sewer services would be extended east of the interchange.

Village President Joe Cook

was present at the meeting and told the board that the school district currently receives only $671 from that property.

“That’s your only risk,” he said, “is losing $671 a year.”

Making Bluff Road a truck traffic intersection also would make Route 6 safer, he added.

After the meeting, Buchanan said she voted against the concept because she wasn’t comfortable with a long-term tax abatement.

Illinois Concealed Carry Permit

The school board Thursday also approved meeting dates for the upcoming year, voting to keep them on the first and third Thursdays of each month at 6:30 p.m. There was some discussion of whether to reduce them to once a month, but members decided they would rather drop meetings as needed.

If the IEPA agrees to do the assessment, it could be completed within the next few months, Schultz said.

Results would not be available for some time, though, so redevelopment of the site is still far off, he said.

Union Pacific will work on solution at Elwood crossing

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com

ELWOOD – Union Pacific officials will work with the Illinois Commerce Commission ahead of an upcoming hearing to see if crossing gate times can be adjusted to improve safety at Walter Strawn Drive.

The railroad crossing, where gates were crashed about 50 times in 2013, is the focus of a federal lawsuit and as well as an ICC hearing.

Michael Scotti, attorney for CenterPoint Properties, said all parties involved in the matter have agreed to allow Union Pacific engineers to work with the ICC, which governs the state’s railway system.

One possibility is to lengthen the time between when red warning lights begin to flash and the gates come down.

“That would allow those 50-foot trucks to clear the intersection,” Scotti said. “It’s not so much the safety of the trucks that break the gates. It’s the next guy that comes along

“It’s not the issue of the time it takes for the gates to go down. It’s the fact that they break through them.”

Nick Narducci

Elwood village administrator when there are no gates up.”

But Elwood Village Administrator Nick Narducci said Friday the move won’t improve safety at the crossing.

“It’s not the issue of the time it takes for the gates to go down. It’s the fact that they break through them,” Narducci said.

Elwood put up concrete barriers near Walter Strawn Drive last month to detour semitrailer traffic. Two weeks into the detour, CenterPoint Properties filed a federal lawsuit against the village, alleging the move violated federal law and created unsafe road conditions.

CenterPoint was joined in the lawsuit by Union Pacific, and APL Logistics, a trucking distribution company that operates out of CenterPoint’s industrial park in Joliet.

A federal judge on June 13 issued a temporary order to remove the barriers.

The next ICC hearing on the matter is June 30.

One proposed long-term solution to the problem is building a bridge to replace existing crossing.

Other solutions under consideration include: • Lengthening the delay between the red light and the crossing bars coming down to give trucks more time to clear the crossing; • Closing the crossing; • Making Walter Strawn Drive a one-way road; • Realigning Walter Strawn Road west of the Union Pacific railroad; • Prohibiting certain turns on red and adding lanes in some areas to ease the flow of traffic.

10 Joliet scraps old computer

equipment, buys new

By BILL WIMBISCUS

bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – What do 145 desktop computers, 90 monitors, 39 wireless devices, 30 printers, 16 mobile date terminal docking stations, 10 boxes of miscellaneous computer equipment, six rack servers and one copier have in common?

Well, for the City of Joliet, it’s junk. All of the items are obsolete electronic equipment that are “no longer necessary or useful” and will be turned over to Vintage Tech Recyclers, Inc. for recycling.

The city’s IT department has bought new computers and accessories in the past year to replace obsolete equipment.

The City Council approved declaring the items as unnecessary surplus at its meeting last week.

In other business, the council: • Approved a TIF agreement with the Steelmen Group, which plans to open a vintage

pinball arcade at 215 N. Chicago St. The agreement will waive licensing fees on the arcade’s 25 machines for 2014 and 2015, a value of $2,500.

• Annexed four acres of land west of Brandon Road for industrial use and approved a plat for Joliet Battery Subdivision, where developer Glidepath Power LLC plans a battery stability system that will be tied in to the ComEd transmission grid.

• Approved entering into an agreement with Will County to receive a Justice Assistance Grant. The city and county each will receive about $29,000 in grant funding. The county plans to use its portion to develop a Narcan program to treat drug overdose victims. The city will use its share for an automated gunshot detection system.

• Approved a zoning variation to allow a two-unit residence at 1408 Highland Ave. to continue operating in a single-family residential district.

NEWS BRIEF

Agreement made on Laraway Road Landfill

JOLIET TOWNSHIP – The Laraway Road landfill will be expanded under an agreement with Will County. Under the terms of the agreement, Waste Management will increase fees and surcharges paid to the county while being able to expand the landfill on

The Will County Board approved the agreement Thursday. Waste

Management currently generates about $5 million annually for the county, according to the press release. Waste Management will also pay the county $1.25 million over the next fives year, and up to $500,000 more if the landfill receives more than 800,000 tons of soils on an annual basis.

Old Canal Days festival organizer “People commented that they enjoyed the music selections this year,” she said. “We had great crowds both nights, plus the weather was a huge influence on our crowds. The weather was beautiful.”

Lockport Mayor Steven Streit agreed the festival went well.

“Some of it had to do with citizen input,” he said.

Many residents who participated in the planning and execution of the event contributed to its success, he said. Streit said if people want the festival to be successful in the future, they should try to participate.

He encouraged residents and all other interested parties to

contact him at streit@lockport. org to learn how to get involved.

Old Canal Days offers food and entertainment while adding insight into Lockport history as one of the major cities along the 19th century construction route for the Illinois & Michigan Canal.

The tours of the Hydraulic Power House along the newer Chicago Sanitary & Shipping Canal were very popular, Herman said.

She said some people asked for more tours than were available. Herman said she hopes the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District makes those tours available again next year.

This year, city officials said they wanted the festival to attract more visitors from the Chicago area and increase the city’s profile in the region. Herman said people from the northern Chicago suburbs came to the event and said they would be back.

“They loved the history, the food and entertainment and all the exhibits,” she said.

Molony, who grew up on the southside of Chicago, is a history buff and has been a “rail fan” for as long as he can remember.

Industrial building planned in Romeoville

By VIKAAS SHANKER

vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – The Village Board has approved a special use permit for a 324,115-square-foot speculative industrial building in Marquette Business Park.

The developer, Duke Realty, will demolish the existing complex on the 18.3 acre site and construct the new building at 1341 Enterprise Drive to accommodate new busi-

ness, Mayor John Noak said.

“This is a good sign that big development companies are interested in Romeoville again,” Noak said.

The Village Board approved the permit Wednesday.

The warehouse will have up to 90 loading docks, 229 parking spaces and 90 trailer park stalls, according to a Planning & Zoning Commission report.

Four driveways will pro-

vide access from Enterprise and Lakeside drives. Two pedestrian entrances will be placed on the Enterprise Drive side of the building, which will be constructed with pre-cast concrete panels.

The developer also has said it is willing to turn over about a half-acre of land on the northwest part of the site to the Romeoville Fire Department for the expansion of the Fire Station No. 2 property.

LOCKPORT – Last weekend’s Old Canal Days is being called a success and even attracted the attention of the Food Network.

The city, which ran Old Canal Days this year, is hoping Lockport’s annual summertime festival will become a regional draw for the Chicago area. Getting some time on the Food Network can’t hurt.

The Food Network was at the food truck court during Old Canal Days, which ran June 1215, and did some filming for a show.

Free tours of the Hydraulic Power House on the shipping canal were a popular new addition to the festival, organizers said.

Feedback in general was positive, with some saying it was the best Old Canal Days in years, said Jodi Herman, festival organizer and administrative assistant for the city of Lockport.

“We had great crowds both nights, plus the weather was a huge influence on our crowds.”

Illinois DNR seeking maps of old underground mines CHICAGO – When an interstate bridge between Springfield and Champaign began to sink three years ago, the cause was quickly identified: An old coal mine 220 feet below the surface was starting to give way. Engineers backfilled the mine to prevent the bridge from collapsing.

In 2009, a 7-year-old elementary school in southern Illinois that was built over an old mine developed large cracks and the floors buckled, displacing hundreds of students until a new school could be built on another site – after tens of thousands of cubic yards of backfill was pumped hundreds of feet below the surface to ensure it was stable.

The incidents underscore the potential – and literal – pitfalls of building throughout much of Illinois, where more than 100 years of coal mining carved out vast swaths underground.

Now, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources is seeking the public’s help to find old maps of long-closed and sometimes-forgotten mines to help prevent similar problems.

THE BACKSTORY:

The southern two-thirds of Illinois – about 75 of its 102 counties – was mined for coal to various degrees starting in the mid-1800s. Almost all of have been closed or abandoned.

Over time, timbers that support mine roofs can decay

and break or the pillars of remaining coal can get pushed into the mine floor, causing holes to form at the surface or the ground to sag – conditions known as “subsidence,” said Robert Gibson, the emergency section supervisor at the DNR’s Department of Mines and Minerals.

Pits are holes that form over shallow mines, and usually are no more than 6-12 feet deep and about the same width. Sags are bowl-shaped depressions about 350-500 feet in diameter, often with the ground sinking 2-3 feet. That can cause houses and other structures to move toward the center of the sag, causing cracks to form or walls to bow, Gibson said.

“You can get homes that are extremely damaged and can be unstable,” said Gibson, whose office investigates about 80 subsidence cases a year.

THE OLD MAPS:

Mine maps marked the locations of rooms, pillars and shafts – a necessity then and a valuable tool for state officials, homeowners and developers today.

But the DNR only has about 2,000 maps for more than 4,000 mines, Gibson said, and each map may have multiple segments.

The state is digitizing those in its archives before they deteriorate, but also is searching for missing maps. Some have been discovered in historical societies, libraries and mining company archives.

Many may be in people’s homes, Gibson said.

“I have been called to look at subsidence where the homeowner had a mine map in their barn that was not in our collection,” Gibson said. “Maybe their fathers or grandfathers worked there, and their descendants acquired them.”

Gibson said he’d like to borrow and scan the maps. If the owners don’t want them anymore, the agency will keep them and give the owner a digital copy.

The most important task, though, is finding and scanning the deteriorating documents before it’s too late.

“Some are over 100 years old, handled, dried and brittle,” he said.

The Illinois State Geologi-

cal Survey recently released an updated map collection that includes one in Springfield that officials didn’t have before; others there still are missing. Officials know, for example, that there was a mine on the west side of the city because of subsidence occurring over a 10-block area, “and I would love dearly to have that mine map,” Gibson said.

THE NEW MAPS:

Once the DNR digitizes an old map, the new version can be paired with geographic information software to identify roads, buildings and other structures that might be at risk. It also can help deter-

mine where and how future development occurs.

Developers can tell from the mine footprint where the existing coal pillars are located and if they need to be reinforced, whether a building can go on particular site or whether a subterranean cavity can be filled.

But until – and unless – the state gets the missing maps, “many homes are at risk,” Gibson said.

“You cannot develop a community wisely to avoid these things, and you put large buildings at risk because you don’t know if there is a mine,” he said. “Then you can get a horrible surprise someday.”

Event honoring Quinn raises ‘pay to play’ issues

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A lobbying firm with close ties to a key subcontractor hired to promote the nation’s health care law in Illinois is hosting a fundraiser for one of Gov. Pat Quinn’s top political donors, raising questions about “pay to play” politics amid the state’s highly competitive governor’s race.

The Roosevelt Group is hosting a breakfast fundraiser Tuesday for the Democratic Governors Association “honoring Pat Quinn,” according to an invitation sent out last week that lists suggested sponsorship levels of between $20,000 and $2,500. The Democratic Governors Association formed a political action committee last fall to support Quinn’s re-election and has contributed $260,000 to it so far this year. In 2010, the group gave about $1.8 million to Quinn – making it the Chicago Democrat’s second-biggest donor, according to the National Institute on Money in State Politics.

Roosevelt Group was co-founded by its two partners, Mike Noonan and Victor Reyes. A third person, Maze Jackson, is a lobbyist for the company. The three own Compass Public Affairs, a political strategy consulting firm that has a $250,000 state subcontract for the “Get Covered Illinois” marketing campaign.

The contract, which paid Compass at a rate of $282 an hour, may be renewed when it ends in August.

Illinois’ “pay to play” law bars contractors from making certain contributions to prevent politicians from steering lucrative government work to businesses that make donations to their campaigns. Kent Redfield, a campaign finance expert, said the “degrees of separation” between DGA, Quinn’s campaign, Roosevelt and Compass may keep the event from violating the letter of the law. But he said the fund-

“He [Quinn] is not attending this breakfast.

If the DGA holds an event to support their organization that is their prerogative and fully within campaign finance law.”

raiser raises ethical issues.

“Clearly you’ve got people who are benefiting from state government contracts trying to facilitate contributions to re-elect the governor,” said Redfield, professor emeritus of political science at University of Illinois at Springfield.

Quinn campaign spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said the event “is not a fundraiser for the governor.”

“He is not attending this breakfast,” Anderson said.

“If the DGA holds an event to support their organization that is their prerogative and fully within campaign finance law.”

The invitation shows a photo of Quinn with the governor’s name in the largest size font on the page. It reads: “You are cordially invited to a Breakfast Fundraiser for the: Democratic Governors Association honoring: Pat Quinn.”

The Roosevelt Group principals are among the best-known Democratic political strategists in Illinois.

Noonan is a former staffer for Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan and a former campaign manager for Attorney General Lisa Madigan. Reyes is an ex-aide to former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and founded the powerful Hispanic Democratic Organization. Jackson is a former statewide field director for Quinn.

The men’s political strategy company, Compass, is part of a team working with FleishmanHillard to promote President Barack Obama’s health care law in his home state under a $33 million contract that ends in

August, but is up for renewal. Compass helped develop the “Get Covered Illinois” campaign’s grassroots strategy and supervised outreach to church leaders, black business leaders and ethnic media.

“The Roosevelt Group and [the law firm] Reyes Kurson have been supportive of the Democratic Governors Association for many years,” Roosevelt co-founder Reyes said in an email to The Associated Press on Friday.

“We welcome the opportunity to assist in the election of Democratic governors across the United States.”

Reyes Kurson, listed as a cohost of the Tuesday event, shares an address with Roosevelt and Compass.

The Washington, D.C.based Democratic Governors Association is hosting a two-day regional policy conference in Chicago next week. The fundraising breakfast is on the first day of the conference. DGA describes itself as “the only organization dedicated to electing Democratic governors and candidates.”

Illinois campaign contribution records show DGA has given $260,000 this year to its Jobs and Opportunity for Illinois PAC, which was formed to support Quinn’s re-election. The DGA also gave $50,000 to a unionbacked PAC fighting Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner and $84,300 in in-kind contributions to Quinn’s campaign.

DGA spokesman Danny Kanner said the breakfast “is a fundraiser for the DGA, to support its programs across the country, not any specific candidate.”

Center to honor late Chicago artist Ed Paschke

By CARYN ROUSSEAU The Associated Press

CHICAGO – A neighborhood art center is slated to open this weekend in Chicago to honor late artist Ed Paschke, whose colorful work is part of museum collections in New York, Washington and Paris.

The location, in a northwest Chicago neighborhood, perfectly fits the goal of opening a permanent place to showcase Paschke’s pieces and create a venue to support upcoming artists, said daughter Sharon Paschke said.

“My dad believed that art should be accessible to everybody, art lovers and more importantly those who have never been exposed to art,” she said.

Paschke was the son of a bakery truck driver. He studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and emerged as an artist in the early 1960s as leader of a new school called the Chicago Imagists. His work is known for its bright, almost phosphorescent colors.

Vesna Stelcer, chairwoman of the Ed Paschke Foundation, said Paschke was a visionary and forward-thinking. His art is “visceral and it’s shocking and it speaks to you and if you

look closer there’s more layers,” she said.

Organizers of the art center, which will open Sunday, said Paschke once said people either loved or hated his work, but rarely were indifferent about it.

Paschke died a decade ago, in 2004, and would have been 75 on Sunday. He was one of the city’s best-known artists during the second half of the 20th century.

In addition to his prolific painting career, Paschke also taught for more than 30 years at such schools as Barat College, the Art Institute of Chicago, Columbia College and Northwestern University. Jeff Koons, considered one of the most influential living contemporary artists, got his start in Chicago working under Paschke.

The storefront Ed Paschke Art Center will have between 30 and 40 of his works, a recreation of his studio and a place for guest artists.

Sharon Paschke said her father would be honored to have a namesake art center. “He was a hard-working regular guy despite what people may guess a famous artist would be like,” she said. “He was a Chicagoan who loved the pulse of the city and the diversity of its people.”

Report: Anti-violence program study flawed and costly

CHICAGO – A researcher who took over a high-priced study of Gov. Pat Quinn’s now-defunct violence prevention program said in an interview with the Chicago Sun-Times that missing data made it difficult to evaluate the program.

The $55 million Neighborhood Recovery Initiative is the focus of an ongoing legislative inquiry following a scathing state audit. The newspaper report, published Saturday, raises questions about why program officials chose a half-million-dollar study that didn’t measure violence levels over more in-depth research that would’ve been free.

Auditors learned the University of Illinois at Chicago study wasn’t designed to evaluate whether the program met its goal of reducing violence despite its $498,351 price tag. The University of Chicago Crime Lab had offered to do a more rigorous study for free, the audit found.

Quinn spokesman Grant Klinzman told the Sun-Times the governor wasn’t involved in discussions about the research.

New Illinois law taps retired doctors and nurses

PEORIA – Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation Saturday aimed at bringing doctors and nurses out of retirement to help as volunteers in free medical clinics. The Chicago Democrat also signed into law a measure allowing dentists to give flu vaccines under certain circumstances.

Both laws, which take effect immediately, are intended to expand access to care just as thousands of Illinois residents are gaining insurance coverage under the nation’s health care overhaul.

Retired doctors “can and want to help those in need, and we should let them,” Quinn said in

Delays expected on Chicago’s Kennedy Expressway

CHICAGO – Delays are expected this weekend on the Kennedy Expressway in Chicago as a major bridge construction project continues. Transportation officials are warning that traffic backups could be worse than last weekend.

The Illinois Department of Transportation says westbound traffic on Interstate 90/94 is being diverted around the downtown bridge demolition site. The detour is fairly complicated.

Work at the Ontario Street Bridge should be finished by Monday morning. And IDOT expects work on the $16.5 million project to wrap up after this weekend instead of pushing into a third weekend as was originally planned. The agency says the fast pace of demolition work has allowed a shortened schedule.

IDOT recommends people use public transit. The Chicago Transit Authority is increasing its rail service to and from downtown.

a statement. “It’s just common sense to broaden access to health care, which is a fundamental right as a human being.”

The legislation allows retired health professionals, including dentists, physician assistants and optometrists, to get credentials so they can continue working as volunteers. It waives fees for the first 500 volunteer licenses. Holding a regular license and a volunteer license at the same time is prohibited.

Dentists will be able to give flu vaccines to patients ages 18 and older who have a prescription or a doctor’s order, under a separate law enacted Saturday.

Quinn also signed legislation directing the Illinois Department of Public Health to set rules and regulations regarding food sampling and testing at farmers’ markets.

“This new law will encourage people across Illinois to get out and buy local,” Quinn said.

Sen. Durbin: VA should protect whistleblowers

PEORIA – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois says whistleblowers in the Department of Veterans Affairs must be protected from firing and demotion.

The Peoria Journal Star reports

the Senate’s No. 2 Democrat made the remarks Friday during a meeting with veterans’ organizations in Peoria.

Durbin says the VA’s culture needs to change. He says the VA secretary should reassure employees they won’t be punished for telling their superiors about problems.

There’s been a growing public outcry over patients dying while awaiting VA treatment and mounting evidence workers falsified or omitted appointment schedules to hide frequent, long delays.

About 65 percent of VA senior executives got performance

Chicago receives $2.2M for clean energy initiative

CHICAGO – Chicago is getting about $2.2 million in federal grant money and private matching funds to set up a program to help startups and entrepreneurs gain access to testing and demonstration facilities in Illinois and Michigan.

In a news release, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and U.S. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz announced that more than $1.5 million of the money will come from private funds to establish the three-year project called the Midwest Innovation Bridge.

Another $745,000 will come from the U.S. Department of Energy for Chicago’s Clean Energy Trust and Detroit’s NextEnergy.

Emanuel says all the money will help support the growth of more than 100 new clean tech jobs in the city.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS GOP establishment choice wins Iowa’s House contest

URBANDALE, Iowa – In a setback for the tea party and libertarian forces in Iowa, establishment Republicans on Saturday nominated their candidate for a House seat in one of the nation’s most competitive congressional districts.

The nomination of David Young in Iowa’s 3rd District punctuated the efforts of Republicans in the party’s mainstream who had desperately worked to avoid repeating embarrassing losses suffered in congressional races in other states in 2010 and 2012.

“There’s a strong sense of pragmatism in the Republican Party today,” said Doug Gross, a longtime adviser to Gov. Terry Branstad and a delegate to Saturday’s congressional nominating convention.

Young, 46, a former chief of staff for Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, will face Democratic former state Sen. Staci Appel in the general election.

Orchestrated tales in Blackwater trial?

WASHINGTON – Defense lawyers for the ex-Blackwater security guards accused of killing 14 Iraqis in Baghdad nearly seven years ago are raising the possibility that prosecution witnesses, with direction from Iraqi law enforcement investigators, have orchestrated their stories.

The defense has been bedeviled

by the fact that no one has come forward to support its self-defense theory – that the guards acted because they were under attack.

The most prevalent explanation since the shootings on Sept.

16, 2007, is that there were no incoming shots.

The carnage at Nisoor Square turned out to be the darkest episode of contractor violence during the war and inflamed anti-American feelings around the world. The trial, which began June 11 and is expected to last months, could feature the largest group of foreign witnesses ever to travel to the U.S. to participate in a criminal trial, according to the Justice Department.

Shooting involving rapper likely not random

DENVER – A shooting involving rapper ScHoolboy Q after a concert at the historic Red Rocks amphitheater west of Denver was likely not a random act of violence, authorities said Saturday.

“This is not just a coincidence.

We think there is probably more to it than that,” said Jacki Kelley, a spokeswoman for the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office.

The rapper was not hurt in Thursday night’s shooting, but three other people in the vehicle he was in sustained non-life threatening injuries. No arrests have been made, but Kelley said investigators have received tips.

Juan Mancias, of Floresville, Texas, a member of the American Indian Movement of Central Texas, holds a sign Oct. 13, 2013, as he joins others in protest before an NFL football game between the Washington Redskins and Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas. The U.S. Patent Office ruled Wednesday, June 18, 2014, that the Washington Redskins nickname is “disparaging of Native Americans” and that the team’s federal trademarks for the name must be canceled.

What is a slur? Redskins case forces us to decide

By JESSE WASHINGTON The Associated Press

Something is happening just beneath the fight over the name of a certain Washington, D.C., pro football team: America is working through the process of determining what is – or is not – racially offensive.

What is a slur, and who gets to decide? How many people must be offended to tip the scales? Why should some be forced to sacrifice their traditions out of respect for others?

We are a long way from consensus on these questions, judging by the response to a federal ruling that the “Redskins” team name is disparaging and its trademarks should be canceled.

The team is appealing the decision, and even if it loses its trademark, it can still use the name. But this latest development highlights the limitations of how America

wrestles with certain racial statements, and our struggle to balance free speech and social good.

A rapidly diversifying nation has more need than ever to figure out what is racially offensive.

Some offenses are undeniable: NBA owner Donald Sterling earned universal condemnation for asking his mistress not to bring black people to his games.

Yet in an era of blunt and sometimes coarse online discussion and political debate, Americans continue to disagree about the nature of calling Hispanics who cross the border without documents “illegals,” or the propriety of images that depict President Barack Obama as a “witch doctor.”

And it took years of discussion to win makeovers for Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben, the stereotypical black faces used to sell syrup and rice.

Jim McCarthy, a lawyer who followed the Redskins

trademark case, said he is not offended by the name, but “there’s no denying the fact that a certain percentage of Native Americans are offended. We don’t know if it’s a minority, a majority, but it’s a fact.”

“If we want to be the best version of ourselves in our society, do we want to promote that, or do we want to minimize that?” he asked.

“I’d love it to be different where people just cooperate to effect change,” he said.

“But we’re a very adversarial society.”

Michael Lindsay, who was lead attorney for Indians in a previous trademark case, said there are two ways to determine if something is offensive.

“The first is the legal path. The other is out in the real world. The legal test, it seems to me, actually does have something to teach the real world,” said Lindsay, of the Dorsey and Whitney firm in Minneapolis.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS WICHITA, Kan. – Universities across the nation are in the midst of a campus housing boom, replacing aging residence halls with gleaming facilities whose technology and other comforts are aimed at attracting students who demand more from college life.

Campus living for students today is a far cry from the cramped dormitories of generations past. New facilities are geared to handle laptops, smartphones and tablets and offer Wi-Fi connectivity and extra room outlets. Suites housing two or more people – with a shared bathroom instead of communal ones – are also popular, and some of the new halls feature computer labs, study centers, cafes and even a gaming room.

Fifty-two new residence halls at private and public schools to house 19,000 students opened last year or will open this year around the U.S., with a price tag of more than $2 billion, according to Paul Abramson, an analyst with New York-based Intelligence in Education who tracks college construction.

Overall, the number of new residence hall construction is up from 40 that Abramson counted a year ago for his annual May survey.

The surge comes as U.S. schools are simultaneously trying to attract students with

WSU and other universities across the nation are in the midst of a campus housing boom. the comforts of home while fighting perceptions that tuition hikes and other expenses are putting college out of reach for a growing number of Americans. But even as costs go up, demand for updated residence halls and other amenities is motivating schools to keep spending.

At Wichita State, a new $65 million residence hall and dining facility at the center of campus has a waiting list while openings are plentiful at the university’s older, lower-priced halls. It’ll cost

between $10,000 and $12,000 a year (including meals) to live in the new facility, compared to $6,800 a year for older residence halls.

Honors student Derick Holmes, 18, has enough scholarship money to afford campus housing, even though his family’s home is just 10 minutes from campus. He’ll be living in the new, tech-outfitted building, which will house his honors program and a new cafe.

“They have based it around the lives of college students to-

day rather than 60 years ago,” Holmes said.

The spurt of construction began about a decade ago and has continued to grow as colleges and universities compete for students – and their money – by offering the “cool” living experience students want and the increased security their parents demand.

Plus, many residence halls put up to house the spawn of baby boomers in 1970s and early ’80s were cheaply built and are ready to be torn down, Abramson said.

Detention center would only be for families Facility not meant to address issue of unaccompanied immigrant children The ASSOCIATED PRESS ARTESISA, N.M. – Congressman Steve Pearce said Friday that a new detention facility planned for New Mexico would only be for immigrant families, not unaccompanied minors.

The Republican told the Roswell Daily Records that an area of the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center in Artesia could house families. But the facility was not

equipped to handle parentless children.

“We don’t have the day care facilities we need to take care of children there,” Pearce said.

The Department of Homeland Security said Friday that the 700-bed family detention center would likely be the first of several new facilities that will house immigrants caught crossing the border illegally.

A surge of immigrants from Central America have been ap-

prehended crossing the border in recent weeks.

That news was followed Saturday by a Border Patrol official in San Diego’s announcement that the agency is considering flying 140 immigrants to his area as early as Tuesday.

Sector chief Paul Beeson said they’ll be turned over to immigration officials, who’ll decide if they should be held while their cases are pending.

The transfers will involve families and adults but no unescorted children, Beeson said.

In New Mexico, Jill McLaughlin, Pearce’s spokeswoman, said he and his staff

have been in discussions with Homeland Security as well as the Artesia mayor’s office.

According to Pearce, border patrol stations continue to be overwhelmed by the number of immigrants.

“They are holding them at the border in border patrol stations,” he said. “But they aren’t able to get any work done, so the government is looking for places to put them.”

The Artesia training center is home to the Border Patrol’s training academy, which includes dormitories. But the dorms would remain separate from where families would stay, Pearce said.

CINCINNATI – A national anti-abortion group wants a federal court to block an Ohio law barring people from recklessly making false statements about candidates seeking elective office.

The Susan B. Anthony List filed a motion Friday in U.S. District Court in Cincinnati, asking that the law not be enforced while the group continues to challenge its constitutionality. The motion says the statute violates free speech rights and “chills core political speech.”

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously Monday that the group could challenge the law, raising doubts about whether Ohio’s law and similar ones in other states can survive complaints that they violate free speech rights.

The anti-abortion group challenged Ohio’s ban when it tried to post billboards attacking then-U.S. Rep. Steve Driehaus in 2010.

The planned ads accused him of supporting taxpayer-funded abortion with his vote for President Barack Obama’s health care law.

Driehaus filed a formal complaint with the Ohio Elections Commission, saying the ads misrepresented the facts and violated Ohio’s false speech law.

The billboard owner feared threatened legal action by Driehaus and declined to post the ads. Driehaus dropped the case after losing his re-election bid.

When the Susan B. Anthony List challenged the law’s constitutionality, a federal judge said the group didn’t have the right to sue because the case had been dropped and the group hadn’t suffered actual harm. An appeals court agreed.

The Supreme Court didn’t rule on the Ohio law’s constitutionality but sent the case back to the lower court to consider the question.

Longtime foes now potential partners Iraqi chaos bad for both U.S., Iran The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – It’s the fog of diplomacy.

For years, Iran has been an archenemy of the United States. Now, with alliances blurred in the Mideast, the two countries are talking about how to stop an offensive in Iraq by al-Qaida-inspired insurgents.

How is it that adversaries that haven’t trusted each other for 35 years could cooperate on Iraq today?

They are strange bedfellows, to say the least.

In the Syrian civil war, the U.S. backs the opposition. Iran supports Syrian President Bashar Assad.

The U.S. for three decades has considered Iran a “state sponsor of terrorism.” The U.S. says Iran bankrolls anti-Israel terrorist groups and other extremists intent on destabilizing the Middle East.

The U.S. has threatened Iran with military action if Iran approaches the capacity to develop nuclear weapons.

But despite all the differences, the U.S. and Iran are more engaged diplomatically at this moment than in years.

After a breakthrough interim agreement last year, the U.S., Iran and other nations are hoping to wrap up a deal within the next month that

Iraqis living in Iran hold a demonstration Friday in Tehran against Sunni militants of the al-Qaida-inspired Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant and to support the Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, Iraq’s top Shiite cleric, shown in the posters, while others hold posters of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. would curb Iran’s nuclear program. Progress on nuclear talks is leading American officials to explore whether Iran can be a useful partner on interests long viewed as shared, such as fighting Sunni extremism and ensuring the stability of Iraq.

Iran, like the Iraqi government, is Shiite. The insurgent group leading the assault in Iraq, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, is Sunni.

But there is worry that Iran is trying to leverage its helpfulness on Iraq into better

terms in the nuclear negotiations.

“I would be skeptical that cooperating with Iran – particularly sharing sensitive intelligence information – would be in our overall interest,” Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., the Senate minority leader, told The Associated Press.

“In fact, it’s hard for me to conceive of any level of Iranian cooperation that doesn’t lead to future demands for concessions on the nuclear program, or foment the return of Shia militias and terrorist

groups, which is harmful to resolving the sectarian disputes within Iraq,” McConnell said.

“Remember, the Iranians are working aggressively to keep Assad in power in Syria.”

His concern was highlighted by the comments this past week by Mohammad Nahavandian, chief of staff to Iran’s president, Hassan Rouhani.

The aide suggested nuclear talks and Iraq’s crisis were connected. The State Department rejected any linkage.

Secretary of State John Kerry, heading to the Mideast

this weekend to discuss Iraq’s stability, has fueled talk about U.S.-Iranian cooperation. He said early last week that the Obama administration was open to discussions with Tehran if the Iranians help end the violence in Iraq and restore confidence in the Baghdad government.

American and Iranian diplomats talked about Iraq on the sidelines of nuclear negotiations in Vienna in recent days.

U.S. officials have rejected military cooperation with Iran and thus far, legislative aides said, the understanding in Congress is that no intelligence-sharing mechanism with Tehran has been finalized.

But the comments had officials and lawmakers in Washington and the Middle East abuzz.

At a breakfast this past week with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Kerry steered away from questions about how specifically the U.S. might cooperate with Tehran, according to aides, who weren’t authorized to speak about private meetings and demanded anonymity.

They said the administration has given no impression it will provide anything to Iran revealing intelligence sources or methods. Congress’ intelligence committees also are keeping tabs on what the administration decides to do.

So far, the State Department is not reporting any other recent meetings between the U.S. and Iran beyond the one in Vienna.

Sunni fighters expand offensive in western Iraq The ASSOCIATED PRESS BAGHDAD – Sunni insurgents led by an al-Qaida breakaway group expanded their offensive in a volatile western province Saturday, capturing two strategic towns and the first border crossing with Syria to fall on the Iraqi side.

It’s the latest blow against Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, who is fighting for his political life even as forces beyond his control are pushing the country toward a sectarian showdown.

In a reflection of the bitter divide, thousands of heavily armed Shiite militiamen – eager to take on the Sunni insurgents – march through Iraqi cities in military-style parades on streets where many of them battled U.S. forces a half decade ago.

The towns of Qaim and Rawah are the first territory seized in Anbar province, west of Baghdad, since fighters from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant group overran the city of Fallujah and parts of the provincial capital of Rama-

di earlier this year.

Sunni militants have carved out a large fiefdom along the Iraqi-Syrian border and have long traveled back and forth with ease, but control over crossings like that one in Qaim allows them to more easily move weapons and heavy equipment to different battlefields. Syrian rebels already have seized the facilities on the Syrian side of the border and several other posts in areas under their control.

Police and army officials said Saturday that the Sunni

insurgents seized Qaim and its crossing, about 200 miles west of Baghdad, after killing some 30 Iraqi troops in daylong clashes Friday.

The officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk to journalists, said people were now crossing back and forth freely.

Chief military spokesman Lt. Gen. Qassim al-Moussawi acknowledged Qaim’s fall, telling journalists that troops aided by local tribesmen sought to clear the city of “terrorists.”

Sunni militants also captured the Euphrates River town of Rawah, ransacking government offices and forcing local army and police forces to pull out, Mayor Hussein AIi al-Aujail said. The town, which had remained under government control since nearby Fallujah fell, also lies dangerously close to an important dam near the city of Haditha.

Military officials said more than 2,000 troops were quickly dispatched to the site of the dam to protect it against a possible attack by the militants.

Pro-Russian fighters stand guard Saturday in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine, with a statue of Soviet Union founder Vladimir Lenin in the background. Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko ordered his forces to cease fire Friday and halt military operations for a week, the first step in a peace plan he hopes will end the fighting.

By DAVID McHUGH The Associated Press

KIEV, Ukraine – Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed support Saturday for Ukraine’s unilateral cease-fire in its battle against pro-Russian separatists and appealed to both sides to halt all military operations.

But he warned that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko’s blueprint for peace would not be viable without action to start peace negotiations.

The qualified Russian backing for Poroshenko’s effort to halt the conflict was another in a series of shifting Kremlin moves and statements that leave unclear the level of Moscow’s commitment to de-escalating the conflict.

Putin’s conciliatory words came on the same day he ordered large-scale military exercises that NATO criticized as likely to raise tensions.

U.S. officials also accused Russian troops of moving back into positions near the border with Ukraine’s troubled east.

The Kremlin said in a statement that Putin “calls on the

At a glance Ukrainian troops have struggled for weeks to suppress separatists who have seized buildings and declared independence in eastern regions near the border with Russia.

Ukraine and the United States have accused Russia of supporting the insurgency. Russia counters that it is not supporting the insurgents and says Russians who have joined the fighting are doing so as private citizens. opposing sides to halt any military activities and sit down at the negotiating table.”

The statement said Putin supported Poroshenko’s decision to order Ukrainian troops to observe a unilateral ceasefire starting Friday night.

But it added that Putin wanted to draw “attention to the fact that the proposed plan, without practical action directed at a beginning for a negotiating process, will not be viable or realistic.”

Poroshenko bills the unilateral cease-fire as designed to inspire a wider peace plan that would include an amnes-

ty for pro-Russian separatist fighters who disarm.

Further steps would include joint security patrols, a buffer zone on the border, early regional and parliamentary elections, protections for the language rights of people who use Russian as their main language, and eventually changes in the constitution to permit more regional self-government.

U.S. and European leaders have called on Russia to play a constructive role in settling the conflict and halt what they say is support for the rebels.

The U.S. and European Union have imposed financial sanctions on specific Russian officials but have held off on targeting entire economic sectors.

It remains unclear whether Russia can or will influence the pro-Russian fighters to de-escalate the conflict.

Putin has consulted with Poroshenko several times by phone on the Ukraine ceasefire initiative, but earlier Russian statements on the peace plan had criticized it sharply as an “ultimatum” seeking to pressure rebels to disarm.

Russia’s Putin backs Ukraine cease-fire, warns talks needed

CAIRO – A strange silence has met the U.S. capture of a Libyan militant accused in the 2012 attack that killed the American ambassador and three others. In his hometown of Benghazi in eastern Libya, there have been few threats of revenge, only speculation among supporters and opponents that Ahmed Abu Khattala was betrayed by an insider.

Abu Khattala had said for months he had no fear of the Americans snatching him, living at his home and saying he worked as a construction contractor. Before U.S. commandos snatched him from Benghazi a week ago, he had been battling alongside the militant group Ansar al-Shariah against the troops of Khalifa Hifter, a renegade Libyan general who has waged an offensive aimed at crushing Islamic militants around Libya, Abu Khattala’s brother Abu Bakr said.

Abu Khattala was a prominent figure in the eastern city of Benghazi’s thriving circles of extremists, popular among young radicals for being among the most hardcore and uncompromising of those calling for Libya to be ruled by Islamic Shariah law.

But he was always something of a lone figure.

Even after he joined Ansar al-Shariah – the group accused by the United States of carrying out the Sept. 11, 2012, attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi – he didn’t take a leadership position or a post in its decision-making bodies, noted Fadlallah Haroun, a former rebel commander in Benghazi who met Abu Khattala in prison in the 1990s.

“He was always an outsider,” said Haroun, who opposes the Islamists and whose brother is a top intelligence official. “He was a very simple man, who was honest in

his talk and independent.”

That may have made it easier for the U.S. to track him down. Among Benghazi officials and militants, there were multiple theories floating over who could have given away his location to the Americans.

Some pointed the finger at Hifter. Others said Islamist militias may have turned him, hoping to relieve the pressure on themselves in Hifter’s offensive. So far, a week after his capture, Ansar Ahmed Abu al-Shariah has Khattala not commented – perhaps a sign it was trying to determine who betrayed him.

“For sure he was sold out,” Abu Khattala’s brother, Abu Bakr, said Friday. “It’s very clear that he was betrayed.

We will pin it down until we figure out who did it.”

Mohammed Hegazi, a spokesman for Hifter’s forces, described Abu Khattala as a “spiritual leader” of the extremist religious groups and militias in Benghazi. He accused him of orchestrating the looting of banks in the central city of Sirte, without offering evidence.

“Abu Khattala’s source of power is the large following among extremist and terrorist groups that believe in him,” said Hegazi. “He was their spiritual leader and he was a financier.”

But Abu Khattala was not the group’s top leader – that was its founder, Mohammed al-Zawahi. While he was close to its leadership, he didn’t join any of its decision-making bodies, Haroun said.

Abu Khattala’s brother Abu Bakr said that in past months, he would disappear from his home in Benghazi for several days at a time because of the fighting with Hifter’s forces.

A few tips on buying TIPS Dear Mr. Berko: I have a $40,000 certificate of deposit coming due next month, and my wife wants to put the money in Treasury bonds that guarantee 3.3 percent. Our brokerage accounts are about 35 percent bonds, 50 percent stocks and 15 percent cash.

The bank won’t buy them for us, so I asked our local broker, who wants to charge us $100 commission – though he would prefer that we put this money in Treasury inflation-protected securities instead of in fixed-income Treasury securities. I told him that the $100 commission was too high, and he got a little insulted but nicely told me that I could buy them directly through TreasuryDirect.

I tried, and so did my wife, but we can’t seem to negotiate the protocols. If I managed my dental practice as the government manages this site, I’d be flat broke in no time. We hope you might have some suggestions for us. – CS, Columbus,

Ohio Dear CS: Tips, I’ve often told

my children and grandchildren, is an acronym I’ve used for 40 years that describes gratuities for waiters. It means “to insure prompt service.”

But the U.S. government, in its frequent moments of clarity, chose to give it a new meaning: Treasury inflation-pro-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko tected securities. In the past few years, even though their principal at maturity is 100 percent assured by Washington, they’ve been among the worst-performing bonds in the market. The sovereign bonds of Spain, Greece and Turkey have done better than the TIPS index, which last year posted an 8.6 percent loss.

It would be un-American if I advised you not to purchase TIPS, but I will advise you not to use the TreasuryDirect website. Its home page has 35 laughing faces, and I couldn’t figure out why they’re laughing. And after at least 11 minutes of mousing and clicking, I couldn’t figure out how to purchase TIPS on that government site, either. I think your time is worth more than $100, so stop bending over dollars to pick up dimes. Pay the $100 fee to your broker.

Though I don’t care a hoot for TIPS, your broker may be giving you good advice.

Interest rates and inflation are going to rise, but I can’t tell you “when.” (Though when they do, I’m not comfortable that the lady at the Federal Reserve has the skill to moderate

their rise.) Interest rates have been increasing for months, and historically, when interest rates rise, the rise is slow and so gradual that you don’t notice the change until it’s significant to you – and then it’s too late.

Still, 30-year TIPS are preferable to 30-year Treasury bonds, though either purchase raises idiocy to a new level if one believes interest rates are headed prominently higher in the coming few years.

I suggest that you invest $20,000 in TIPS and invest the second $20,000 in Realty Income, AT&T, Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, GlaxoSmithKline, Royal Dutch Shell or a combination of other blue chip and pale blue chips.

Those stocks, yielding over 4.5 percent, have paid dividends for over 30 years and increased them frequently.

And I’m comfortable wagering this second $20,000 to a road apple that they will be worth significantly more in 30 years than your TIPS and triple their dividend incomes. And if they don’t, then those Washington-guaranteed TIPS won’t be worth bupkis anyway.

OUR VIEW

OPINION

Politicos high on patronage

Investors around the state are making moves to get involved in the marijuana business while they wait for the state’s new medical marijuana law to take effect.

The problem is the names of potential investors have come out, and far too many of them have too many political connections to not raise red flags.

Sam Borek has reserved at least three dozen marijuana-related business names, the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reported. Borek was a college roommate of the legislator who just happened to sponsor the medical marijuana law – Democratic state Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie.

David Rosen has registered a medical marijuana business name called Waveseer. He has filed paperwork to open a business with the same name in Nevada. You might know Rosen as Gov. Pat Quinn’s chief fundraiser in 2010, and for raising money for Hillary Clinton and Al Gore.

Former Quinn Chief of Staff Jack Levin has been hired to lobby for a medical marijuana business owned by an Effingham attorney and a Springfield lobbyist.

Stop us if you’ve heard this story before, but it appears that when it comes to an investment opportunity in Illinois, it’s not what you know, it’s who you know and have raised money for in state government.

This is just another chance for corruption; another chance for patronage; another chance for taxpayers to get stuck paying off the politically connected.

In other words, it’s business as usual in Illinois. And it has to stop. The state of Illinois is spiraling into fiscal insolvency, and that’s in part because of the patronage games that appear to be well on their way here. Political connections should not play a role in the state’s medical marijuana business, or any other business for that matter.

Voters must take notice in November.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

We can’t have still another Iraq war Twice this nation has gone to war with Iraq. We poured at least $21 billion into reconstruction, and billions more into military training and equipment for the Iraqi army. We had a civilian police force training program touted as the “most ambitious” since the Marshall Plan, the U.S. aid program that rescued Europe after World War II. Three weeks ago, 800 members of the terrorist organization ISIL, plus associated groups, took Iraq’s second largest city, Mosul. The Iraqi army units of 30,000 men guarding Mosul panicked. Officers threw down their arms, stripped off their gear in the streets and ran. The army followed.

McClatchy newspapers interviewed an Iraqi army private first class by phone from his hometown where he’d had fled. He compared his division’s actions with the bravery of U.S. troops he had fought with in Fallujah. It wasn’t the way the U.S. trained him.

“I fought side by side with Americans,” the private said. “Their mili-

VIEWS Donna Brazile tary has leaders that tell the soldiers what the plan is, and fight. We don’t.”

It can be said with certainty that while the Iraqi army had expert training and the best equipment, its collapse was due to poor morale and Iraqi civilian leadership.

Enter ISIL. It has been described

by Ryan Crocker, our former ambassador to Iraq, as “al-Qaida on steroids.” That gives them too much credit, I believe. Thickheaded on steroids, rather.

Who are they? I turned to published backgrounders by scholars and terrorist experts: Charles Lister, a visiting fellow at the Brookings Doha Center in Qatar, and Aaron Zelin, a fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.

ISIL is a fanatical organization that, until February, was “al-Qaida

in Iraq” until al-Qaida kicked them out – for extremism. ISIL cuts off the hands of thieves. Until recently, ISIL had an automatic execution policy for Muslims who differ with their interpretation of Islam. They literally use crucifixion for some executions.

The group will fight alongside people with whom they disagree, but they will never let them rule with them. “ISIL doesn’t submit to the will of anyone – not even al-Qaida for that matter,” Zelin says. This is keenly important because the forces now sweeping across Iraq are composed of multiple groups. Lister says it is a de facto Sunni uprising. Hassan Hassan, a research associate with the Delma Institute in Abu Dhabi, independently says the same.

To gain the cooperation of the Sunnis and former Baathists (Saddam Hussein’s former ruling party), ISIL adopted a “soft” approach recently. They let apostates repent rather than kill them on the spot.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WHAT NEXT FROM GOP?

To the Editor: There are those who claim we should do nothing about climate change because God is in charge. That’s about as responsible and displeasing to God as throwing your garbage out the window every night and expecting it to be cleaned up the next morning by divine intervention.

God expects us to be stewards

of his creation, which means battling the forces of greed, a greed that is determined to line the pockets of the super wealthy at the expense of our children and grandchildren.

It’s the big shots, the fat cats of which the Koch brothers are prime examples. Inheriting daddy’s industrial conglomerate, they and others like them inflate their power by pouring billions into campaign funds to elect candidates (North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory, former executive of Duke Energy, which recently dumped toxic coal ash that will take decades and billions to clean up) and to influence legislation (ALEC is a group of corporations who write their own bills to go through Congress and state legislatures to empower themselves at the expense of everyday people who breathe the air and drink the water).

The thumbprint of the Koch brothers is especially visible in Oklahoma, a state that is as Republican right-wing extremist as you can get. The Oklahoma state legislature recently passed a bill that taxes people, thus punishing them, for using solar panels. Not a sales tax purchase mind you, but an additional tax for merely using the sun! The sun should be free!

What hypocrisy! The GOP criticizes big government and abhors taxes of any kind, yet pokes its big nose into our

FIX OLD PENITENTIARY

To the Editor: Regarding the “old” Collins Street Penitentiary.

Please take the time and money to repair the “old” penitentiary. If it were done properly, it could be a really good tourist attraction.

Rent out rooms overnight, have tours, have pictures taken, show them old pictures and tell them stories of the property.

Many people enjoy this kind of history. There are even postcards from back then.

Compare it to the pyramids.

What would have happened if all of those were tore down? It would have been a shame and

changed world history.

Also, there should be a program from “Stateville” to have inmates have the privilege to work there at the “old” penitentiary, reconstructing it.

They could earn extra money and be somewhat out in the open.

I’ll bet there are plenty of inmates who would volunteer for such duties. Probably some have experience in the fields.

Also, years ago, the inmates helped raise corn, vegetables, etc., to help defray costs of being there. My Grandpa Leslie Snodgras used to work there on a horse in the fields as a guard.

Why can’t we go back to some of the old ways. Again, some inmates would enjoy it, and also have some experience in the fields.

Fix the old penitentiary.

ISIL will be anyone’s companion – but never anyone’s ally • BRAZILE

Continued from page 34 They have, Zelin reports, even opened a consumer protection office in Mosul. But none of that means they will share power or abandon one iota of their religious dogma.

The group’s aim is to create a new sovereign nation, composed of major parts of both Iraq and Syria. That’s been the planning for at least two years.

Before its military push, it held about $2 billion, according to the Britain’s Guardian.

They’ve added significant money from the banks they’ve

captured in several cities, in addition to attacking an oil refinery. They are now likely the richest terrorist organization in the world, and they’ve done this apparently without the aid of any nation-state.

ISIL is extremely skilled with social media networks, using Twitter this week to distribute pictures of mass killings of 1,700 Iraqi army prisoners. In short, ISIL will be anyone’s companion as long as anyone is useful – but never, ever, anyone’s ally.

ISIL is a unique catalytic that prompts al-Qaida and other Syrian rebel forces to fight together; that compels

Turkey to consider the uniting of Kurds in Turkey and Iraq; and nudges the United States and Iran to explore what joint efforts they can make against ISIL. Foreign policy analysts are near unanimous that it was President Maliki’s Shiite government’s suppression of Sunnis and Kurds that facilitated and fostered ISIL and its partners – groups that are to ISIS what male mates are to black widow spiders.

ISIL hopes to fan Shiite-Sunni divisions across the Middle East. So this raises the question, what role should the U.S. play in resolving this

crisis? Republican members of Congress who are Iraq War veterans are urging caution in redeploying American troops.

Retired Gen. David Petraeus, the former U.S. commander in Iraq, says the U.S. cannot become the Shiites’ air force against the Sunnis. He’s right.

Obama is seeking change that will heal the fracture ISIL has exploited. He’s demanding a new government without Maliki as a condition.

Clearly Iran will oppose such an arrangement. But what are the other options?

Allow Iraq to break into three parts, as Vice President Joe Biden suggested back in 2006?

It takes nerves of steel while under immense pressure to require that Iraq make necessary political changes to heal the rifts created by the lack of political leadership in easing sectarian strife. The last thing the U.S. should do is to go back to war in Iraq. Let’s see if the Iraqis can put down the revolution they started by alienating their own people.

To the Editor: Obviously, columnist Scott Reeder has no idea what the unions in this country have done or why they started.

Maybe he does and, like many Republicans, feels that since we have the things that unions fought and continue to fight for that we should get rid of them now – the same way greedy corporations no longer need American workers who used to make lawn mowers, steel buildings and outboard motors to get themselves wealthy.

They thumbed their noses at those workers and made a decision to go overseas because of greed. There is nothing in the NAFTA agreement that said they had to take their businesses overseas.

And for the young people who are constantly bombarded with uneducated rhetoric, this is what unions have provided, just to name a few: 40-hour work weeks, breaks, sick leave, paid vacation, child labor laws, worker’s compensation, unemployment benefits, overtime pay, wrongful termination, health insurance, pensions, eight-hour work days, holiday pay, military leave, laws ending sweatshops, Family Leave Act, sexual harassment laws, compensation, collective bargaining, OSHA, minimum wage, Social Security,

workplace safety standards, laws against age discrimination, veterans employment/training services, American Disabilities Act, privacy rights, public education, to name a few.

I guess Reeder would like to just get rid of unions and start over again by becoming a right-to-work-for-less state.

What he is not telling you is that most corporations still rely on the training and professionalism that unions provide. Those skilled workers who were not able to get in the unions understand that without them, their pay and benefits would be a lot less than they are.

The union dues are a small price to pay to dignify the American worker. If corporations are so giving, then why do they fight so hard to not provide these things.

Wingback Borgra primed to step into leadership role

By DICK GOSS

Joliet Catholic Academy’s Nick Borgra makes the catch in front of Bradley-Bourbonnais defense Thursday at the USF 7-on-7 Passing Jamboree at Memorial Stadium in Joliet. plays the last two years.

“Michael [Johnson] and Harold [Davis] are competing.

They want to contribute and win. We all have about the same speed. I improved my speed a lot since last year. We may not have a lot of breakaway runs like Mike [Ivlow] had last year, though. We’re

more of a pound-and-grind team.”

Voss, Borgra added, “is one of the toughest kids I have ever met in my life.”

The key for the Hilltoppers’ offense will be keeping a thin offensive line healthy. Last year’s huge line, featuring three major college recruits,

was devastated by injury. DeAndre Ford, a 330-pounder who missed almost his entire junior season with injury, has moved to Georgia.

The group up front this fall will include familiar names Tyler Witt and Chase Krumviede, along with ZeVeyon Furcron, who was elevated

• Sunday, June 22, 2014

JOLIET – Over the past several years, Joliet Catholic produced a steady stream of AllState caliber running backs.

Josh Ferguson, Malin Jones and Ty Isaac all were special.

Last season, Mike Ivlow, the fullback the previous fall, moved to wingback and was stunningly effective after dropping about 40 pounds, especially with the way he was able to pull away from defenders as he broke long runs.

This season, it’s Nick Borgra’s turn to take the leadership role. From his right wingback position, he quietly rushed for close to 1,000 yards last season, which ended in a 22-21 loss to Montini in the Class 5A quarterfinals.

Quietly, because Ivlow’s remarkable accomplishments stole the headlines.

“Nick Borgra had a great year last year,” coach Dan Sharp said during JCA’s appearance last week in the University of St. Francis 7-on-7 Passing Jamboree at Memorial Stadium. “He comes into this season with a ton of confidence.”

Most of JCA’s renowned offensive line graduated along with Ivlow and quarterback Nick Morrison.

Cade Earl will take over under center, and Michael Johnson and Harold Davis, both standouts on last year’s sophomore team, will compete for the wingback opposite Borgra.

Davis starts on the basketball team.

Drew Voss is the likely starter at fullback, with seniors Jacob Elliott and Jake Gould among the candidates at tight end.

“Cade Earl is a stud and he knows the offense,” Borgra said “He’s been learning the

from the sophomore team when injuries struck. Brandon Kaminski and Ricky Fleming are others in the mix.

“Keeping the offensive line healthy is the key because we are thin there,” Sharp said.

“We can’t afford to have injuries like we went through last year.”

Sharp noted that offensive linemen also will have to fill a hole or holes in the defensive line.

“We are in a position now that by the end of July we should have four offensive linemen who can share one spot in the defensive line,” second-year defensive coordinator Jake Jaworski said. “We’ll hopefully be two-platoon except for that one spot.”

The defensive side of the ball features a few key returning starters plus several new faces. Safety Brandon Bolek, middle linebacker Mike Gruben, weak side linebacker Brad Krisch and defensive lineman Ken Aguirre are the building blocks.

Joe Frescura, a situational pass rusher last season, outside linebacker Pete Riccolo and defensive backs Brandon Holy and Marty Krizka are among those who also will contribute.

“We are further ahead at this point than we were last year,” Jaworski said. “The different part is not everyone is returning. Now we’re starting fresh. It’s been good. We’ve gotten a lot of teaching in.”

“I think we can be a pretty good defense,” said Bolek, the free safety. “Gruben and I focus on getting to the ball. I have to be a ball hawk.”

Still, on the defensive side, avoiding injuries will matter.

“We have 45-47 guys on varsity, which is a new experience for us,” Sharp said, noting the relatively low numbers. “But the effort and attitude have been unbelievable. I love coaching these kids.

“Barring injury, we can be competitive against a tough schedule. We start with Providence, Wheaton North and Carmel, finish with Nazareth, Benet and Marist, and we have Marian Central there in the middle.”

Minooka using summer for development Younger players polish skills over warmer months

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Minooka boys basketball team was missing some of its key pieces Friday at the Joliet West Shootout, including its head coach, Scott Tanaka.

Such is the nature of the summer basketball beast.

However, work still needs to get done regardless of who is available. In the case of the Indians, they are working on a re-do.

“Our summer is about giving our young kids a chance to develop,” said Tanaka’s assistant Jon Monti, a former Minooka head coach. “We lost eight great seniors who gave us a lot of leadership, and we have little varsity experience back.”

The graduation losses include familiar names such as Jake Smith, Mark Geers, Neal Tyrell, Cody Bresnahan, Adam Alexander, Mike Cappel, Shane Taylor and Lucious Armstrong.

Joe and Jonny Butler were mainstays last season despite their youth. Joe, although only a junior this fall, already is a two-year varsity starter. Jonny was the point guard last season as a freshman.

The Butlers sometimes are absent in the summer because of their baseball commitments.

Regardless, the basketball team will rely on them heavily in the winter.

Kent Hudson is the senior with the most experience. He can play anywhere but probably will spend significant time

Minooka’s Larry Roberts looks for an opening during Friday’s Joliet West Summer Shootout. Roberts is part of what assistant coach Jon Monti called the Indians’ “core group.” The team saw eight of its seniors leave with the 2014 graduating class, leaving Minooka with a young but promising lineup. “We had a 23-2 sophomore team and lots of those kids will be stepping in to fill some big shoes,” Monti said. in the post. At 6-2, he is one of the tallest Indians.

Others in what Monti termed “our core group” include Nick Clemens, Larry Roberts and Jon Lamas.

On the surface, it appears the Indians may be in for a struggle if they hope to come close to matching their 16-15 record of last season. But there is reason for optimism.

“We had a 23-2 sophomore team and lots of those kids will be stepping in to fill some big shoes,” Monti said.

“We’ve already seen this summer that we have some nice pieces. Teams that we have struggled the most with have tended to be a little physical.”

Whenever Minooka basketball is mentioned, defense and the Indians’ pattern offense are prime bullet points.

“We focus a lot on defense,” Hudson said. “We pride ourselves on it.”

“We’re still learning to play defense like Minooka teams have the last several years,” Monti said. “We’ll be good if we can develop that attitude. We’ll probably be undersized against most of the teams we will play, so toughness will be a huge key.”

So will scoring the ball. The Indians had times last season when they found a lid on the basket. An example was their finale, a 35-27 loss to Oak Forest in a Class 4A Eisenhower Regional game.

“With the kids we have

coming up from last year’s sophomore team, our shooting should be much better,” Monti said. “Lamas, Clemens and both Butlers can shoot it.”

“I think we’re a good shooting team,” Hudson said. “Last season we did have trouble scoring at times. We’ll play more inside to outside this season and I think we will score more.”

Hudson realizes he may be stationed in the post a significant amount of time.

“We have a few guys around 6-2, 6-3, but I’ll be our big man,” he said. “I’ll be in the post a lot and lead the team in that way.”

The Indians will be different. Better? That will be determined later, when all that inexperience has had time to develop.

Young but experienced JCA has smooth look Trusting in teammates a key for Hilltoppers

By DICK GOSS

• Sunday, June 22, 2014

JOLIET – Joe Gura turned to show off the back of his T-shirt.

“I’m going to wear this every day, until this season’s over,” Gura said Friday as his Joliet Catholic boys basketball team competed in the Joliet West Shootout.

The words on the back were to the point: “Regional Champions, Sweet 16.”

“I’ll bet you never thought you would see that on a Joliet Catholic shirt,” Gura said.

The Hilltoppers became quite a story in March, when they reached the Class 3A sectional final at Rich East before falling to mighty Morgan Park. They won four previous postseason games and finished with a 12-21 record. No other JCA team had reached a sectional final since 1988.

The starting lineup of Jalen Jackson, Harold Davis, Colton Kolowski, Drake Fellows and Luke Mander is intact. Of course, Fellows is a baseball pitcher above all else and was not at the shootout Friday.

“I won’t see Drake this summer,” Gura said. “The next Don Drysdale is off somewhere in this country throwing his 90 mile-per-hour fastball.”

As important as Fellows is, even in his absence, the Hilltoppers’ basketball team is beginning to look as if it belongs on the same floor with more ballyhooed programs. Of course, surviving in the East Suburban Catholic Conference can be difficult even for quality teams.

“It’s absolutely a good thing that we have all our regulars back, the way they are growing as players and we’re growing as a program,” Gura said.

“They’re starting to play system ball. The finish we had at the end of last season, we want to continue that.

“Of course, there is a lot of

ing sectional finals and one, Benet, finishing second in the state in 4A. “It’s a monster conference,” Gura said. “Our goal is to compete better in it. And now we have more basketball players who can compete at that next level. Now we’ve got to challenge those great programs, and that’s not going to be easy.”

Gura noted JCA has seven players with significant Joe Gura varsity experience and six of JCA boys basketball coach the seven are entering their junior season, with two years remaining. He said the junior work to be done.” and sophomore classes are Gura said the ESCC had good, and this is the best freshseven of its nine members man class he has had at JCA in win regionals, with six reach- terms of depth.

“The summer is about me finding out who our 12 or 13 players are going to be,” Gura said. “I finally figured out that how we played, how I evaluated everything and whether we were improving was what mattered in the summer. So I do treat things different than I used to.

“Now what we have to do is get to where we do play our best and win some of those games that last year we played well in and didn’t win.”

Jackson’s reputation is that of a scorer, and he has been that in his first two seasons.

What made the Hilltoppers more interesting and more competitive last winter was the balance that appeared in

the scorebook.

“The most important thing to me is we were getting four guys in double figures most nights,” Gura said.

“We share the ball well now and trust each other,” Jackson said. “We get better looks.

That’s a big pressure released from me, that I trust all my teammates.”

Mander said the way last season finished helped build chemistry.

“We shared the ball a lot better,” he said, “and that’s something we weren’t doing at the beginning of last year. We look like a smoother team now. If we play all four quarters every game, I think we will do pretty well in our conference.”

Schumacher, Army a true partnership 7-time Top Fuel champ looking forward to his Route 66 visit next weekend VIEWS Dick Goss The U.S. Army is listed as Tony Schumacher’s sponsor.

The seven-time Top Fuel Dragster champion does not see it that way.

“I like to think what I have with the U.S. Army is more of a partnership,” said Schumacher, who along with the rest of the NHRA stars will be at Route 66 Raceway next weekend for the O’Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 Nationals.

“Miller, Bud, Coca-Cola that you see on other cars, those are sponsorships.”

Indeed, Schumacher has been in partnership with the Army.

“I have learned a lot from visiting with soldiers through the years,” he said. “Being in partnership with the Army has changed my perception.

I’ve been in Afghanistan, Iraq, I’ve jumped out of copters. I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. I am living the dream.”

Schumacher’s strong feelings toward the fighting men and women of our country has only helped raise his popularity.

Of course, it hasn’t hurt that the Chicago-area native has been so successful on the drag strip yet always treats fans with the utmost respect.

“I have three kids. I don’t get it when professional athletes walk away from kids who want their autograph,” Schumacher said. “I know there is pressure to perform out here, but we’re gifted. We get to do what we love. We have no right to walk away from a little kid.”

Schumacher treats fans of all ages with the same respect.

He has been quite the ambassador for the NHRA. His seven Top Fuel championships included a run of six straight from 2004 through 2009. He entered this weekend’s competition at New England Dragway and Motorsports Park in Eppling, New Hampshire, running sixth in Top Fuel, 345 points behind

“We’re not where we should be,” Schumacher said.

“We have a better car than that, but we’ve had some bad luck.”

Of course, the first order of business these days on the 23-race circuit is to qualify for the Countdown to the Championship, a six-race finish to the season that is NHRA’s version of NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup. “There was a time when a great car could dominate,” Schumacher said, discussing his six-year championship run. “Now it’s not that way.

There are 10 great cars every race, so you won’t see any sort of streak like that any more.

With as many great cars as there are, you never know who is going to win.

“There are too many people out there who have our old tuneup. There are so many

similar tuneups and smart crew chiefs out there. Each of us is trying to be innovative. Races are won and lost by thousandths of a second.

There is incredible racing.”

The Countdown format has been in place since 2006.

Schumacher said he has seen benefits in the old, season-long point system and in the Countdown system.

“The big thing, though, is the fans enjoy the Countdown,” he said. “If we get better TV coverage for having it, which we do, I’m all for it.”

When Schumacher says he “is living the dream,” believe him.

“I absolutely love racing, the challenge, being part of a team that is so good,” he said.

“I love to fight and battle.”

In addition to doing what he loves, competing for championships, working in partnership with the Army

and meeting and entertaining fans, Schumacher also is helping ensure his sport is safety conscious.

Schumacher’s team owner is his dad, Don Schumacher Racing. In the summer of 2012, DSR and the U.S. Army team – in particular, Schumacher’s crew chief, Mike Green – unveiled a safety canopy for drivers to wear. The device protects drivers with a hydraulic, fighter jet-type canopy.

“Our teams’ cars use it,” Schumacher said. “John Force’s daughter uses it.

Antron Brown [Schumacher’s teammate] crashed twice but he had it. I’m happy to feel safer.”

When you’re traveling at 330 mph, there’s nothing wrong with wanting to feel safer. Schumacher was the first driver in NHRA history to reach 330 mph when he was

clocked at 330.23 in 1999 at the drag strip near Phoenix.

Then when the sanctioning body shortened the distance of a race from 1,320 feet to 1,000 feet, he again became the first to hit 330 mph when he clocked a 330.30 early in the 2012 season at the venue near Charlotte, North Carolina.

He and the rest of the NHRA will bring that sort of explosiveness to Route 66 Raceway. For Schumacher, with Route 66 being his home track, where he has won four times, the visit will be all the more meaningful.

“This is a huge race for me whether I win or lose,” he said. “I’ll probably be asked for 4,000 free tickets before we get there, and I know I’ll meet an endless group of new people there.

“It’s a special race track.

The facility is second to none.”

COLLEGE ROUNDUP

Many from Lewis athletics honored SUBMITTED REPORTS CaptainU announced that Lewis University’s Dan Friend has been selected as the Spring 2014 CaptainU National Collegiate Men’s Volleyball Coach of the Year.

Friend, led by All-Americans Geoff Powell, BJ Boldog and Greg Petty, mentored the 2014 Flyers (23-8) to an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. This marked the second time in the past three seasons that Lewis has advanced to the NCAA Tournament.

“It’s great to be recognized by CaptainU and I want to thank my team and staff for the outstanding season,” Friend said. “We had a great group of guys and coaches this year that set the bar high.

“It made my job exciting and rewarding each day to come and work with them.”

Three Flyers named GLVC Spring Scholar Athletes: The

Great Lakes Valley Conference announced on Thursday that Lewis University’s Robert Dofflemyer III, Zsofia Kranczicki and Armand Levandi have each been selected as the 2013-14 GLVC Spring Scholar-Athletes of the Year for their respective sports.

This marks the third straight year that a women’s tennis player (Kranczicki) has won the award, while it’s the second consecutive season that a men’s golfer (Dofflemyer) has been feted. Levandi is the men’s tennis representative.

The league selects one student-athlete in each conference sport to be designated the GLVC Scholar Athlete of the Year. The award is based upon

athletic accomplishments, both team and individual, and academic performance in the season upon which the award is based.

Kranczicki, the 2014 GLVC Player of the Year, was a Capital One Academic All-District 4 At-Large selection. An international business major, Kranczicki completed her final semester at Lewis with a cumulative grade point average of 3.49.

She is a four-time Br. David Delahanty Award recipient – given to Lewis student-athletes for academic excellence – and a four-time Academic All-GLVC selection.

This past season, the ITA Senior Player of the Year for the Midwest Region played a crucial role in helping the Flyers return to the NCAA Division II “Sweet 16,” as she went 29-4 in singles action and a combined 30-4 in doubles play. During the fall, she and two-time GLVC Spring Scholar-Athlete of the Year Zsofia Lanstiak (Budapest, Hungary/ Karinthy Frigyes Gimnazium) teamed up to place third overall at the USTA/ITA National Small College doubles championships for the second time in their career.

Levandi, the 2014 GLVC Player of the Year, was a Capital One Academic All-America Third Team selection. A business administration major, Levandi had a 3.64 cumulative GPA following the spring 2014 semester.

Levandi finished the 201314 campaign with a record of 26-2 in singles play and a combined 16-7 in doubles action en route to ITA All-America status. The Estonian native won

the USTA/ITA Midwest Regional Singles Championship and finished fourth overall at the USTA/ITA National Small College singles championship en route to his No. 10 national ranking in singles play. He is a two-time Delahanty Award recipient and Academic AllGLVC honoree.

Dofflemyer, a 2014 AllGLVC selection following his third-place finish at the conference championships, has a 3.89 cumulative GPA in air traffic control management. In 2013-14, Dofflemyer averaged a team-best 75.2 in 22 rounds, while tying for 25th overall at the NCAA Regional championships as an individual. He is a two-time Delahanty Award recipient and Academic AllGLVC honoree.

GLVC recognizes 18 Flyers with academic award: The Great

Lakes Valley Conference announced on Wednesday that 18 Lewis student-athletes have earned the GLVC Council of Presidents’ Academic Excellence Award.

The recipients of the GLVC Council of Presidents’ Academic Excellence Award exemplify the outstanding student-athletes in the GLVC. Each honoree has exhausted his or her eligibility in the intercollegiate sport in which they participated and maintained at a least a 3.5 grade point average throughout their academic career.

Lewis GLVC Council of Presidents’ Academic Excellence Award Winners were (by sport): Baseball: Ben Albano, Marshall Escue and Kendall Paluch.

Men’s cross country/track

and field: Alessandro Mazza, Andrew McLain, Alex Kluchki, Max Sliwa and Sean Smith.

Nine Lewis teams earn GLVC academic awards: The Great

Lakes Valley Conference announced Tuesday that the Lewis University Athletics Department had nine squads that earned 2013-14 Team Academic All-GLVC Awards, given to teams from member institutions that have maintained a 3.30 grade point average for the academic year.

Overall, Lewis tied for fifth in the GLVC with Bellarmine. There was a four-way tie for first place, as Drury, Maryville, McKendree and Rockhurst each had 10 teams with at least a 3.30 cumulative GPA. The Flyer men’s cross country and men’s basketball teams each owned the highest grade point averages in the GLVC for their respective sports. The men’s cross country team checks in with a 3.44 GPA, while the men’s basketball team was the only school in the conference to qualify for the award with a 3.37 GPA. Lewis’ women’s tennis team had the highest GPA of any Flyer squad with a 3.66 cumulative GPA. Other award-winning

teams include women’s volleyball (3.54), women’s golf (3.48), women’s basketball (3.37), men’s tennis (3.35), women’s soccer (3.34) and softball (3.34).

Lewis sets record with 204 on academic team: Lewis Univer-

sity student-athletes continue to raise the bar, as they broke a school-record for the fifthstraight season, as 204 Flyers were selected to the Academic All-Great Lakes Valley Conference Team, announced on Monday by the conference office.

The 204 selections account for 57 percent of Lewis’ 358 eligible GLVC student-athletes.

Indianapolis (223) had the most selections of any school in the GLVC, followed by Truman State (208) and Lewis. The Flyers had the most selections of any GLVC school without a football team.

The Academic All-GLVC honor is bestowed upon student-athletes that have completed two semesters at their institution and maintained a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average or have attained a 3.40 GPA over the two most recent semesters. Student-athletes that have attained a 3.40 GPA and not completed two semesters are also honored.

Of Lewis’ 17 GLVC sports, 13 squads had over half of their team qualify for Academic AllGLVC honors.

Lewis was the only GLVC school to lead the conference in selections for six different sports, including including men’s basketball (11), men’s cross country (13), women’s cross country (15), men’s track and field (22), women’s track and field (29) and women’s volleyball (16).

JOLIET SLAMMERS 4, ROCKFORD AVIATORS 3

SUBMITTED REPORTS The Joliet Slammers opened their three-game series at Rockford with a 4-3 victory over the Aviators on Friday.

Game two between the squads was delayed Saturday by the weather and was still in progress at press time.

In Friday’s opener, the Slammers (14-16) scored a run in the ninth inning to claim the win over the Aviators.

In the ninth, Christopher Epps (2 for 4) started things with an infield single and took second on a ground out.

Adam Lewis singled to center to score Epps with the

go-ahead run.

Santo Manzanillo pitched the eighth inning to get the win while Jordan Wellander struck out three in the ninth to record the save.

Andrew Busby went the first seven innings for the Slammers, allowing two earned runs while striking out five.

Joliet jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first as Jose Garcia and Russell Moldenhauer both singled and then Adam Giacalone hit a three-run homer.

Max Casper also went 2 for 5 for the Slammers, who finished with nine hits during the contest, which was one less than the hosts.

Joliet and Rockford conclude the series Sunday with a 5:05 p.m. and the Slammers open a three-game set at River City on Tuesday.

FOOTBALL

Former Bear Harris backs developmental league The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Six teams, 40man rosters, limited salaries – and perhaps no punts, kickoffs or extra-point placements.

A home for players who can’t crack the big time to hone their skills for another shot at the NFL. Maybe even a place for collegians not yet eligible for the NFL to grow their games.

The Fall Experimental Football League plans to launch in October as a developmental league, with no NFL affiliation but with lots of intriguing ideas.

“Given the current Division I landscape in football and the collective bargaining agreement the NFL has with the union, there is more than ever a need for another platform out there,” says Brian Woods, the FXFL commissioner. “A platform like for basketball and baseball players.

“Pro football has nothing.

The NFL has the practice squad, but it does not develop players because they don’t get into games. You don’t develop if you aren’t getting on the field.”

Woods, an attorney who played at Mississippi and coached as a graduate assistant at Iowa State, wouldn’t mind having a tie-in with the big boys, but that’s not immediately on the agenda. The FXFL will field teams in the New York and Boston areas; Austin, Texas; Portland, Oregon; Omaha, Nebraska; and in Florida.

No city has been announced for the Florida franchise.

Tommie Harris (91), then a Bears defensive tackle, celebrates after an interception in October 2009 in Chicago. Former NFL players Harris and Eric Bassey are the first owners of a team in the new FXFL developmental league, which plans to launch in October as a developmental league.

Former NFL players Tommie Harris, a three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle, and Eric Bassey have purchased the Austin franchise.

The teams will play six games this fall in minor league baseball stadiums, with an emphasis on gaining experience.

The main idea is to advance the talents of players, coaches, officials and front office executives, something NFL football operations chief Troy Vincent said in April his league is looking into for the future.

“Our long-term goal is to establish a partnership with the NFL,” Woods says, “and

we feel can do that on many platforms. It would give them a way to work with younger players that they don’t currently have. We can help them train prospective NFL officials – in the NBA, every referee entering the league [in recent years] comes from NBA Developmental League.

“We can be a testing ground for proposed rules, too.”

That’s where the FXFL’s creation gets particularly noteworthy. The status quo, on and off the field, will not necessarily apply.

The league is contemplating eliminating the kicking game,

which might take away excitement with no kickoff or punt returns, but add fan enthusiasm for extra points, which would be a required 2-point conversion.

“We’ll get a chance to experiment,” says Bassey, a former Rams defensive back, “and doing a little bit of everything here.”

That would include looking at college underclassmen and even high school players, a nono for the NFL. Mainly, the core of FXFL players will be no more than two years removed from their college careers, with the ma-

jority coming from that year’s draft class. That would include players cut in training camp or those who never even got a look from the NFL. That approach would not impact the NCAA, and the league says it won’t actively recruit players who are still enrolled. But Woods explains that some players could come from the ranks the NFL doesn’t touch.

“We are not ruling out the possibility of working with players who have hardships,” he said. “We’ll look at it on case-by-case basis. There might even be a situation for a player right out of high school who might not want to go to college.”

The FXFL has a television deal in the works, Woods said, but details have not been released. Games will be played on weeknights, mostly Wednesdays, although the league is considering some Friday night contests in its Northeast locations where high school football is not overwhelmingly popular.

To enhance local interest, the league will give each team territorial rights, so the Austin franchise has first shot at players from Texas, for example.

Salaries will be $1,000 a week for the players. Coaches will draw from a pool of around $110,000 for the staff.

Woods and the team owners will work on setting up host families for the players, similar to what minor league baseball and hockey do. That saves on costs, but also makes the players more a part of the community.

Sox drop into basement The ASSOCIATED PRESS

MINNEAPOLIS – After another dismal start by Andre Rienzo, White Sox manager Robin Ventura wouldn’t commit to sticking with the Brazilian right-hander in the rotation.

If Ventura is looking for another option, Rienzo’s replacement Saturday at Minnesota might be a possibility.

Rienzo (4-5) lost his fifth straight start and gave up at least four runs for the third consecutive time in the Twins’ 4-3 win Saturday. Meanwhile, former starter Scott Carroll pitched 32/3 scoreless innings as the Sox lost the third straight game to start the four-game series and dropped to the bottom of the American League Central standings behind Minnesota.

“I don’t know right now,” Ventura said after the game when asked if he’d contemplate taking Rienzo out of the starting rotation. “We’ll talk about that later. But right now we’re just trying to figure out how to win a game.”

Kevin Correia (4-8) pitched a smooth six innings, giving up two runs – one earned – and five hits.

Rienzo, allowed four runs, and gave up seven hits and two walks in last just 41/3 innings.

Rienzo has surrendered 25 runs in 221/3 innings over his last five starts.

“It’s happening so fast sometimes,” Rienzo said of giving up big innings. “I don’t have much time to think, it happens so fast.”

Rienzo was 4-0 after his first six starts following the rotator cuff injury that knocked Felipe Paulino out of action. But he’s only finished the fifth inning in two of his last five turns and his ERA during the losing streak is 8.87.

With the Twins trailing 2-1, Joe Mauer hit a two-run double that just missed reaching the seats off Rienzo in the fifth inning. Kendrys Morales hit the next pitch for an RBI single.

“Yeah, he had that inning you can see some people working out of,” Ventura said. “This seems to be that one that ends up biting him; hit a batter or

walk a batter or give up a hit and the next thing you know it’s a crooked number.”

Carroll relieved Rienzo and got Oswaldo Arcia and Kurt Suzuki to fly out. Carroll allowed just two hits the rest of the way.

Starting five games earlier this season, Carroll carried a 6.15 ERA after six-run loss at Kansas City. The right-hander has a 1.83 ERA in five six relief appearances and instituted the use of a cut fastball.

“It was almost just like another chapter, another opportunity for me where I just wanted to just accept it and relish in it, and use it as an opportunity to build myself,” Carroll said of moving to the bullpen. “I feel like I’m being much more aggressive.”

Ventura said he can see a difference in Carroll.

“The urgency is probably there because you go from a starter and now you’re in the bullpen,” Ventura said.

“The other alternative after that isn’t very good. So I’m sure that’s the urgency that’s there.”

OCKPORT – Fundamentals of basketball, positive adult role models, character building: these are three reasons why Sherry Prater of Lockport sent her daughter Heavenly, 12, to Hoop It Up. “Hoop It Up” is a threeweek, grassroots, free co-ed program for fifth- through eighth-graders in the Fairmont community. Through Hoop It Up, they learn the foundation of the game from enthusiastic adults, as well as teach life lessons.

Heavenly, who plays basketball for Fairmont Elementary School, where Hoop It Up is held, has attended both years, Prater said, and has done more than fine-tune her skills.

“Being in the program has boosted her confidence,” Prater said.

The organizer and head coach is Louis Hardwick Jr. of Joliet. Assisting Hardwick are his two godbrothers – Dwayne Ward of Joliet and Terry Ward of Joliet, both deacons at Church of the Living God in Joliet – and his friend Lionel Meyer of Lockport, girls basketball coach at Fairmond, Hardwick said.

These men are funding the entire program, from the $4.50 it costs per child per week for insurance to the snacks and water bottles they distribute during practices. They are volunteering their time and happy to do it, Hardwick said.

“It wasn’t about the dollar for us. I wasn’t even about wanting companies to donate to us,” Hardwick, 48, of Joliet, said. “It was just guys wanting to do something for the community.”

The idea came to Hardwick after his nephew started playing basketball for Fairmont. Hardwick attended a few games and noticed that many players lacked the basic skills – like dribbling – needed to successfully play the game.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Louis Hardwick Jr. talks with a group of kids Thursday during the Hoop It Up basketball camp at Fairmont Middle School in Lockport. The program allows kids from the neighborhood to learn sportsmanship and skills.

“I know there are camps out there but they’re priced up,” Hardwick said. “A lot of the kids in the Fairmont community don’t have parents able to send them to these types of programs.”

So Hardwick put together a program, contacted his friends and they enthusiastically came on board, he said.

Last year, Hoop It Up attracted 24 students and only eight were boys, Hardwick said.

This year attracted nearly the same amount of kids. Half are boys.

“We’re looking for a female coach that can help us out next year,” Hardwick said.

Skill focus varies, depending on the week. During week one, coaches concentrate on shooting and passing. Week

two is dedicated to learning different defense elements. In the final week, the kids learn offsets and scrimmages and then play against each other as teams, Hardwick said.

“We just give them the basics,” Hardwick said. “We want them to be in the know.”

It’s Hardwick’s way of paying back the great male mentoring he received as a child. When he lived in Chicago and after his family moved to Joliet – where his father (now deceased) was pastor of Church of the Living God – Hardwick, an only child, was “adopted” by the older boys in the neighborhood. They taught him sports and took him fishing, he said.

Older role models appear to be lacking in many youths’ lives, Hardwick said, so he

feels it’s important for other men to step in to fill the gap.

“These guys took time out of their lives as teenagers to have a little kid running around with them,” Hardwick said. “Kids are our future and we’re losing more every day.

Someone has to help.”

As a Mason, Hardwick said he is encouraged to perform community outreach.

Each year, for residents in Chicago’s Englewood neighborhood, Hardwick distributes holiday meals, hosts back-to-school drives and arranges events with Job Corps and military recruiters.

Mostly, Hardwick credits the example of his mother, Earlie Mae Hardwick of Joliet, for molding his heart for the community. Hardwick said his mother will help any-

one, anytime. By exhorting the kids to practice, Hardwick feels he and the other coaches are instilling enduring life lessons.

“No matter what you do, whether it’s sports, school or business, you must practice your craft every day,” Hardwick said. “I tell them even if they’re just sitting on the porch, they could dribble the basketball.”

Next year, Hardwick hopes to bring Hoop It Up to Joliet in July and to Chicago in August. If it expands this much, he might have to seek donations, he said. He doesn’t mind giving up his summers to volunteer coaching.

“I’m single and I like to help people,” Hardwick said.

“It gives the kids something to do.”

Plainfield High School Central Campus hosts ‘Physics West’ meeting THE HERALD-NEWS PLAINFIELD – On April 15, suburban high school physics teachers heard the happy chirping of crickets at the “Physics West” meeting held at Plainfield High School Central Campus.

Physics West is a consortium of physics teachers from Will and DuPage counties.

They meet monthly at alternating schools to share ideas for effective teaching and to explore physics principals.

PHSCC physics teacher Nicole Walker hosted the meeting.

Teachers came from PHSCC; Plainfield East and South high schools; Benet Academy; Addison Trail, Glenbard West, Joliet West,

Lake Park, and Naperville North high schools; Joliet Junior College and Northern Illinois University.

Attendees discussed the Nicole Walker Next Generation Science Standards and how they’re

being applied to the physics classroom.

They also shared ideas for incorporating engineering components into the classroom.

The host provides a “makeand-take” idea as a “gift” for attendees. This time, Walker’s make-and-take was an “electronic cricket” that simulates a cricket’s song on a hot sum-

mer night.

The chirping changed in frequency and duration.

The “cricket” also had a light sensor so that it will activate at dusk.

Walker also discussed her success with having students view a pre-lab video before coming to class as a way to improve understanding and use class time more effectively.

Woman becomes organizational expert, will present two seminars in Joliet

Once the room is clean, spend five minutes a day keeping it that way.

Eliminate floating bits of paper by writing down everything you need to remember, including appointments and your to do list in a daily planner.

3

Label all containers. That way, everyone knows where things belong.

Whenever possible, store things where they’re used, even if that means duplicating some items.

Don’t become too organized. The goal is to make home where people can relax and feel welcomed.

Ironically, it was Schofield’s husband, Jim, who grew up in Frankfort and attended Lincoln-Way High School, that launched her career.

“He told me I should write a book,” Schofield said. “I told him, ‘I don’t know how to write, and besides, everyone does this stuff. I just needed to find it out for myself.’ ” But Jim, Schofield said, was certain other people could use some organizational help.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Take the rule book with a pinch of salt

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jimmy Carter, in his farewell presidential address, said, “Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities -- not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself.”

Bridge is full of rules that need to be taken with a large pinch of salt. Always treat each deal on its own merits; do not thoughtlessly assume that the “textbook” play will be right.

How does that apply to this deal? South is in three no-trump.

West leads his fourth-highest heart. South takes East’s 10 with his king and runs the diamond 10.

What should happen after that?

South did not like to open one no-trump with two unstopped suits, but he had no more accurate sequence available.

The books recommend returning partner’s suit in no-trump – and it is true that that will be right much more often than not.

(In a suit contract, shifting will be better a lot of the time.) But if East does that here, South will take the trick with his heart ace and drive out West’s diamond ace. West may shift to a club, but declarer plays low from the dummy and loses only two diamonds and two clubs.

Instead, East should pause for thought at trick three. Surely West has the diamond ace, because if South had that card, he would have cashed it before trying the diamond finesse. And if West is about to gain the lead, East should see how to defeat the contract. At trick three, he leads his club three.

South wins with his 10 and continues diamonds, but West should take the trick and lead his second club. Then East gets three tricks in the suit to defeat the contract.

‘Jersey Boys’: Catchy, but a few falsetto moves

By STEPHANIE MERRY The Washington Post

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 of 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!” Of course, who in Hollywood could possibly mimic Frankie Valli’s formidable falsetto? Just imagine James Franco trying to get through “Big Girls Don’t Cry.” On second thought, don’t.

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 deepvoiced 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 okay. After all, the story is dramatic, with its tale of kids from a rough neighborhood who shoot to fame with catchy hit after catchy hit but can’t quite keep it together. Plus, the dialogue is witty and the music is phenomenal.

There isn’t a lot of fancy camera work or special effects, and the movie even retains the way characters directly

addressed the audience in the play. This particular gimmick feels a little unnecessary in the adaptation. Facial expressions, which aren’t always visible for a theater audience, can do a lot of explaining in films: When Bob hears Frankie sing for the first time, for instance, a look of astonishment comes over his face before he turns to the camera and says, “After 30 seconds, I know I need to write for this voice.” But we figured that out already.

The movie, like the play, also overstuffs the plot. Valli suffered a harrowing family tragedy that makes its way into the narrative. Yet with so much attention paid to the band and so little paid to his personal life up until that point, the misfortune feels shoehorned into the story as a way to exhibit the hero hitting rock bottom.

Overall though, fans of the play will be pleased. And for those that love the Four Seasons’ music but haven’t made it to the play, you can put your fear of missing out to rest. This is a much more affordable way to very nearly re-create the experience.

• “Jersey Boys” received two-and-ahalf stars out of four. The film is rated R and contains language. It runs 134 minutes.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: “Barney” and I are in our 40s and have been married two years. Barney is a neatnik.

His nighttime ritual of cleaning up before bed takes an hour or more.

Before we can be intimate, this ritual must be performed, which rules out anything in the afternoon or that’s spontaneous.

Barney is also a night owl.

Sometimes he goes straight from the shower to the Internet or reading, ignoring sex altogether, even if we planned and talked about it while getting ready to clean up.

I have fallen asleep many nights waiting for him, only to awaken hours later and see he’s still not beside me. When we discuss it later, he says it’s a selfish habit he “got away with” in his last marriage.

He enjoys sex but becomes easily distracted.

Should we seek counseling for this or try something else? Barney displays all the signs of ADD and

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips has since his childhood days. – Frustrated In Clinton, Iowa Dear Frustrated: By all means seek counseling. The ritual you described could be a symptom of a disorder, or your husband may have a very weak sex drive. However, one thing is clear: If Barney isn’t in bed with you, it’s because he’d rather be elsewhere.

For your sake, the sooner you get some straight answers the better you’ll be. His comment about “getting away with it” tells me he knows what he’s doing wasn’t fair to his last wife, and it isn’t fair to you.

Dear Abby: For the last 10 years, my friends and I have gotten together on a fairly regular basis.

We always bring potluck to share.

“Cindy” would only contribute a bag of chips. We finally told her we thought the offerings were unequal, so she shaped up.

We recently celebrated my birthday at my house, and Cindy “surprised” me with a beautiful blueberry crumble cake (her specialty). A half-hour later, she announced she had to leave and wanted to take the cake with her.

Then she put it in the container she had brought it in and left.

I’m thinking about confronting her, but am I being petty? – Deserted Dessert Lover Dear D.D.L.: Petty? I don’t think so. I don’t know what qualities you look for in a close friend, but Cindy appears to be unusually self-centered. Don’t count on Cindy for anything.

Jury still out on taking multivitamins to prevent ailments Dear Doctor K: I’m a healthy 50-year-old woman. Do I need to take a multivitamin/mineral supplement?

Dear Reader: Following the news on supplements is like watching a pingpong match. One study finds supplements improve health, then another study questions their benefit. Back and forth they go.

One recommendation about vitamin supplements is not in dispute: Women of childbearing age should take folic acid supplements. Folic acid (often classified with the B vitamins) reduces the risk of a woman giving birth to a baby with neural tube defects. The most common of these defects is called spina bifida. Neural tube defects can cause permanent neurological damage: difficulty swallowing, breathing and moving. IF YOU ARE A WOMAN OF CHILDBEARING AGE WHO WANTS CHILDREN, AND YOU ARE NOT TAKING DAILY FOLIC ACID SUPPLEMENTS, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR: YOU PROBABLY SHOULD BE. Did I say that loud enough?

Another recommendation that is not in dispute: If you have osteoporosis (thin bones) or osteopenia (borderline thin bones), you should talk to your doctor about taking vitamin D, along with calcium. They protect your bones.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff Now we get into the controversy. Last year, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, a panel of disease prevention experts, reviewed research published over the past decade. The task force concluded there isn’t enough evidence to support use of vitamin and mineral supplements to prevent heart disease, cancer, or deaths from these diseases in healthy adults. So, does this close the book on supplements for disease prevention?

My colleague Dr. Howard Sesso, an epidemiologist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital, doesn’t think so. As an example, he points to the Physician’s Health Study. This large, well-designed study found taking a daily multivitamin significantly reduced cancer risk.

Individual vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin D, also warrant further study. A number of observational studies suggest vitamin D may help prevent chronic diseases, besides its beneficial effect on thin bones. Dr. Sesso is working on a large, long-term trial that will study the effects of vitamin D on cancer, heart disease

and stroke risks.

While the research continues, ask your doctor for an individualized recommendation. If you have or are at risk for osteoporosis, for example, your doctor will likely recommend calcium and vitamin D. You can also consider a daily multivitamin if your diet is less than perfect. It doesn’t replace a balanced diet, but it can help fill nutritional gaps. And we don’t know of health risks from taking a multivitamin.

If you choose to take a supplement, stick with the major brands.

They are well tested and are more likely to fall in line with recommended doses. (I’ve put tables listing recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Avoid specialized multivitamin formulations – for immunity support, heart health, energy, etc.

– unless your doctor recommends otherwise. One exception: If you are over age 50, choose a vitamin designed for seniors. It will contain the right vitamin and mineral levels for you.

Healthy teen acused of being anorexic by grandma Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and consider myself to be very healthy even though I’m on the slim side. I’m active in sports and exercise five days a week. I’m very serious about eating well-balanced nutritious foods and I get proper rest. I guess you could call me a “fitness freak.”

About three months ago, my grandfather died and it was decided that my grandmother would live with us. I love her dearly, but she is a bit opinionated. She is trying to convince my parents that I’m “almost” anorexic and that I need to “put some fat on my bones.”

Now, even my dad thinks that I’m undernourished.

What can I do to convince my parents and my grandmother that I don’t need to gain weight to be healthy?

– Margo, Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Margo: Make sure your family reads this response.

According to Dr. Grant Gwinup, professor of medicine at the University of California at Irvine, overeating and its consequence, being overweight, is the major problem of North Americans.

Overweight people die at increased rates of everything you can think of – heart disease, cancer, diabetes, gall bladder, liver and brain disease.

“The fatter one is, the greater one’s chances are to have these diseases,” says Gwinup. “Not only do the diseases eventually cause death, they also change the quality of one’s life by destroying one’s health.

Statistics on thin people tend to indicate that the

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace less fat a person carries the better.”

Dr. Wallace: Last week my friend was given a new car for her 18th birthday. Yesterday, she called me and wanted to go for a ride in her birthday present, so we drove up to the mountains and had lunch in Big Bear.

We had a nice day and then drove back home.

The only problem is that we are both still in high school and the school called my mom and asked why I wasn’t in school. My mom said she thought I was in school, so when I got home I was in big trouble. My mom really got upset and grounded me for a whopping six weeks!

I know that I shouldn’t have skipped school (it was my first time ever), but I don’t think being grounded for half the summer is fair. What do you think?

– Nameless, Huntington Beach, California Dear Nameless: Skipping school is a serious “mistake.” Many parents, who thought their daughter was at school, have received a phone call from authorities informing them of serious situations ranging from auto accidents to serious crimes. Your mother had a right to be upset.

You deserved a stiff discipline, but, in my opinion, two weeks of restriction should be adequate as long as you promise to never skip school again • Email Dr. Robert Wallace at rwallace@ galesburg.net.
