Citizens group hopes measure is included on Nov. 4 ballot

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A grassroots ballot initiative to change the districting system used since the 1950s could, if successful, require the City Council itself to redraw its district maps.

Joliet has used a system of five numbered districts and three at-large seats for nearly the past half century.

But a proposal called Joliet for Eight Districts being pushed for a Nov. 4 referendum by Concerned Citizens of Joliet would eliminate the three at-large seats and create eight districts of approximately 18,000 constituents each.

Councilman Jim McFarland, who holds one of the three at-large seats, asked

during Tuesday’s council session whether the ballot issue would be binding if the measure was approved.

City Attorney Jeff Plyman said that unless the measure was specifically put on the ballot as an advisory referendum, the City Council would have to abide by the decision and redraw its maps.

Mayor Tom Giarrante asked whether the map itself could be included on the ballot.

“I’ve never seen it [happen],” Plyman said, noting that state election laws require referendum questions have to be very clear and concise. Adding a map to the question could add a layer of complexity that might be at odds with state regulations, he said.

Plyman noted the timing

“When six council members live in a 4-square-mile radius, that’s concentration of political power.”

Richard Rodriguez Joliet For Eight Districts on the vote also could be an issue.

If the measure were to pass Nov. 4, for instance, candidates for the new districts would have to file nomination papers by Nov. 24 for the April 7, 2015 election.

Richard Rodriguez, one of the organizers behind Joliet For Eight Districts initiative, said redistricting is needed to resolve the concentration

Plainfield Plan Commission votes, 6-1, in favor of special use permits

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Medical marijuana dispensaries and cultivation centers are one step closer to becoming a viable operation in Plainfield after the Plan Commission voted, 6-1, to support special use permits.

The special use permit would pave the way for applicants to seek approval for a cultivation center or dispensary in industrial zones of the village.

Jonathan Proulx, a village planner, said the Village Board sent mixed opinions on the prospect of cannabis operations in the village during a Committee of the Whole meeting on April 14.

“Illinois is the strictest one in limitations,” commissioner Richard Kiefer said about the restrictions Illinois is placing on the facilities. “I’m pleased to see the village is getting out in front of this.”

Illinois passed a law on Aug.

1, 2013 allowing the medicinal use of marijuana and setting guidelines for cultivation centers and dispensaries.

The Compassionate Use of Medicinal Cannabis Pilot Program Act allows up to one marijuana cultivation center in each Illinois State Police district. Up to 60 marijuana dispensaries will be geographically located throughout the state.

Only one cultivation center and one dispensary would be allowed in a municipality.

The state department of agriculture would oversee permits for cultivation centers, and the department of financial and professional regulation would oversee the dispensaries.

Restrictions on a cultivation center include that it must be at least 2,500 feet from the property line of any existing school, day care center, group home or residentially zoned property.

Dispensing operations must be at least 1,000 feet from the property of any existing school, day care center or group home.

It will also be prohibited in residential zoning districts and prohibited as a home-based business.

Dispensing operations also can’t share office space with a physician or refer patients to specific physicians.

The discussion on the subject of medical marijuana use centered around the impact the facilities could have on the village.

“This gets down to the heart of what we want the community to be,” said commissioner John Green, the lone vote against the amendment.

Green also suggested passing the amendment would lead the village down a slippery slope, and could put the village in a bad legal position, if the a new administration in the federal government changes its stance on medicinal use.

Proulx said Naperville and Lockport have already passed similar but more restrictive amendments paving the way for cannabis facilities.

of power on the city council.

Currently three of the eight members of the council live in District 2, while two others and the mayor live in District 3.

“When six council members live in a 4-square-mile radius, that’s concentration of political power,” Rodriguez told a group at the Joliet Spanish Community Center on Saturday. “There’s no ifs, ands or buts about it.”

The group is circulating a petition to gather the 1,500 signatures needed to place the measure on the ballot.

The Joliet For Eight Districts petition reads: “Should the city of Joliet be divided into eight districts with one council person to be elected from each district, but with the mayor to be elected from the city at large?”

State bill stalls, but city still considers buying Joliet Correctional Center

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For sale: One 156-year-old prison with 25-foottall limestone walls, complete with guard towers, surrounding 24 buildings on 20 acres.

Also includes 160 acres of forested grounds with a couple of quarry lakes. Asking price: $10.

Good deal? Depends who you ask.

Some see Joliet Correctional Center, the iconic prison home of the “Blues Brothers,” as a tourist bonanza. Others fear taking ownership of the dilapidated penitentiary is akin to being shackled to a white elephant.

Legislation for the prison deal sponsored by state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, stalled in a House subcommittee last week as the Legislature was about to adjourn.

A second bill that would offer private investors tax credits to develop state-owned properties such as the prison also remains hung up.

The city, in partnership with the Joliet Area Historical Museum has considered offering open air tours of the old prison if ownership and liability issues could be addressed.

“Joliet Prison is the No. 1 thing we get asked about by tourists,” said Greg Peerbolte, the museum’s executive director.

Mayor Tom Giarrante also thought the plan had merits.

“I think it was good deal for us,” Giarrante said. “We would

Inmate Marcelino Perales uses a lawnmower to maintain the grounds May 29 outside the Joliet Correction Center. have had a year to develop it and could have turned it back over to the state if we couldn’t.”

The bill would have required Joliet to be responsible for maintenance issues, such as grass mowing, while the state would still be on the hook for any remediation issues, Giarrante said.

“Something has to be done or it has to be torn down,” Giarrante noted. “If it’s for a trial basis for a year, I’d like to give it a shot. I just don’t want the city to be stuck with it if we can’t.”

Not everyone was upset

when the deal fell through.

Council member Jim McFarland has become one of the more outspoken critics of the city taking on more assets.

“My big thing is that when people pay their taxes to the city, they pay for the core services that the municipality was created for: clean drinking water, paved roads, police and fire, garbage pickup,” McFarland said.

“I feel the city needs to get back to basics, especially in this economy. Venturing off on these auxiliary enterprises maybe made sense when city

economy was stable, but not under the current situation.”

McFarland also has suggested the city explore selling Silver Cross Field, the $28 million semi-pro baseball field the city built in 2002, to a private developer.

“I love the ball games, and I think its a great asset for the city,” McFarland said, “But I don’t think the city should have ownership of it.”

The ballpark has generated a less than 1 percent return on investment over the past five years, according to an analysis

by City Manager Jim Hock re-

quested by McFarland.

Several of the council members elected to the City Council after the 2008 recession share McFarland’s skepticism about Joliet taking on assets like the old prison.

“First show me a working plan on how you propose to do it,” Councilman Bob O’Dekirk said. “If it can be done, let’s do it, but I’m not about to do it on a whim.”

Ultimately the city could be taking on another huge asset later this year: Evergreen Terrace, the low-income housing project at 350 N. Broadway St. If the city wins its nearly decade-old condemnation suit, it will be responsible for redeveloping the site. A court decision is expected within 60 days.

The city has hired Holsten Real Estate Development Corp. of Chicago to explore funding and development options.

Councilman Larry Hug has been the most vocal critic of the Evergreen Terrace issue, which he maintains could cost the city up to $57 million.

“I’m against taking on assets that don’t serve the mission of the city,” Hug said.

Hug’s financial concerns over the city’s ability to redevelop Evergreen Terrace also extend to what he calls “entertainment assets” like the baseball field and the prison.

“I don’t think the city needs to be getting into the bed-andbreakfast business,” Hug said.

“It’s our job to encourage investors in the private sector to do that.”

Here’s a look at other properties the city owns

The city wanted to beautify

a major entryway into Joliet.

Aging houses, many in poor condition, were torn down. But the soft-serve ice cream stand, with its Route 66 decor and replicas of the Blues Brothers cavorting on the roof, was left standing.

Joliet gradually developed an arboretum around it, complete with information boards describing Joliet attractions and history.

New Lenox blocks summer camp at skate park Mayor says camp is day care under a different name

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Drop In Skate Park owners say they may have to close because the village will not allow a summer camp.

The skate park is located near the Country Creek Montessori School, which has to move after the village determined the school should not operate in the industrial zoned area. A similar problem has arisen with Drop In Skate Park.

Kevin McCullough and his son, Paul, opened the skate park in March at 899 Country Creek Drive after the village had approved a special use permit.

They planned to open a summer camp, as well, but that plan is on hold because village officials consider it a day care and not a camp.

Day cares are not permitted where the skate park is located, which is an industrial zone.

McCullough said it’s common for indoor skate parks to run summer camps because youths don’t tend to skate in-

doors once the weather is warm. Summer camps would allow Drop In Skate Park to make enough money to cover the rent during a slow season, he said.

“We’re probably going to go out of business by the end of the summer,” he said.

The camp would have run from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m., he said.

Parents would drop off their children, who would skateboard and enjoy other amenities at the skate park.

McCullough also took issue with the village requiring the skate park to close at 10 p.m. instead of midnight. Robin Ellis, village community development director, said those hours of operation were stipulated in the special-use permit approved by board members in January.

Before the special permit was approved, McCullough told the village he planned to run a summer camp. According to the minutes for a Dec. 16 Village Board meeting, McCullough said activities of the skate park would include “skateboarding, skateboarding

lessons, lounge area with video games, very small concession stand and possible skateboard boarding camps in the summer.”

But officials say even though it’s called a summer camp, which Mayor Tim Baldermann said the village has no issue with, it’s functioning as a day care.

“That’s why the Montessori school is no longer going to be allowed in that area because the zoning does not allow for child care and schools,” Baldermann said.

He referred to the Country Creek Montessori School located in the same lot as the skate park. Village officials discovered the school was not permitted to be in the area while considering a special use permit for the skate park last year.

Now the school’s owners have to find a new location by September, when their lease ends.

Parents with children who attend the school expressed concern last year about safety and noise with the skate park moving in. One parent said the skate park would make the

McCullough, who runs the skate park with his son, Paul, was told by New Lenox village officials he is not permitted to run a summer camp in an industrial zone, where his business is located. area “an unsafe environment, and also the wrong kind of people will be hanging out in the parking lot.”

McCullough has encouraged people on the company’s Facebook page to “flood the Mayor’s phones” in support of the skate park and the summer camp. He said he has no plans for legal action.

Baldermann said he has

received several calls from youths and adults, with some supportive and others not.

While the village was supportive of the skate park coming to New Lenox, Baldermann said, he does not believe the owners gave a full explanation of their plans.

“They should have been upfront and honest with us,” he said.

City severed ties with Joliet Splash Station, which never showed a surplus • PROPERTIES Continued from page 3 The property became a concern last year when the city took the lessees to court for $18,000 owed in back rent.

The rent issue was resolved, and the city now is planning on fixing up the place, according to James Haller, city planner.

Crabigale’s The city owns the building at Chicago and Cass streets, taking it back after Crabigale’s, a restaurant and comedy club, failed.

The city sold it to the owner of Crabigale’s for a token amount as part of an

effort to create an entertainment district downtown. The city now is in the process of transferring the building to Lockdown Bar & Grill, a heavy metal-themed restaurant patterned after its parent restaurant in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village.

Under the sale agreement, Lockdown will put $250,000 worth of work into the building, which the city will credit as the sale price once work is completed, Haller said.

Silver Cross Field The city, flush with casino revenues in a booming economy, decided to build a minor-league baseball stadium. The project, finished in 2002, cost about $28 million

in construction and land-acquisition costs.

The Slammers pay $50,000 a year in rent to the city. Next year it goes up to $75,000. The city also gets a cut of the $150,000 a year that Silver Cross Hospital pays for naming rights.

According to City Manager Jim Hock, the city has received a net total of less than $270,000 over the past five years, an annual return of less than 1 percent on the original investment.

The stadium needs at least $400,000 in repairs and updates, including scoreboard improvements and new turf, plus structural work to repair a chronic leak in the stadium concourse between

home plate and first base.

Union Station The city is part-owner and takes in about $390 a month in rent for the station’s coffee shop, plus fees for banquets held at the facility, according to Ken Mihelich, director of administrative services.

The building will no longer be a working train station when the new transportation center comes online in 2016. Joliet hopes to use about $1.5 million of the center’s $41.25 million funding to refurbish the 102-year-old station.

The Law Center The city took ownership of the The Law Center build-

ing, 10 S. Chicago St., an office building that Joliet officials said the city needed to buy in order to put together a land package for the future transportation center.

Joliet Splash Station The city of Joliet severed its connection with the water park in April. Before then, the city paid about $173,000 a year on construction debt for Splash Station under the joint-ownership agreement made with the park district when the facility was built in 2002. When Splash Station did not generate enough money to cover the annual debt payment, the city made up the difference. Splash Station never showed a surplus.

State to continue pursuing money to reopen IYC-Joliet

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com The Illinois Department of Corrections will continue to seek money to reopen the shuttered the Illinois Youth Center-Joliet to house mentally ill prisoners, a spokesman said.

“As Governor Quinn has said, this is an incomplete budget,” Tom Shaer, spokesman for the state agency, said in an email. “The Illinois Department of Corrections will continue to work with the General Assembly to address areas of concern.”

The roughly $30 million in operational costs needed for the facility to reopen is contingent upon the 2011 income tax hike staying permanent, the governor’s office has stated. Gov. Pat Quinn’s proposed budget, which is based on the income tax staying as is, calls for about $1.7 million to re-

“As Governor Quinn has said, this is an incomplete budget.”

Tom Shaer Illinois Department of Corrections spokesman vamp the facility, lawmakers have said.

The $35.7 billion spending plan approved last week, however, is based off that tax hike rolling back from 5 percent to 3.75 percent as scheduled Jan. 1 after House Democrats lacked the votes needed to maintain its current rate.

The McDonough Street facility was to be used for inmates with severe mental illnesses. The Illinois Department of Corrections is under pressure from a 2007 federal lawsuit to provide such a fa-

cility, and local officials have been looking for ways to put IYC-Joliet back to use.

A federal lawsuit alleges the state has failed to provide adequate mental health services within an overcrowded prison system. In an attempt to settle the 2007 case, the Illinois Department of Corrections has agreed with a court-appointed monitor to use the 484-bed facility in Joliet for mentally ill offenders.

Time is of the essence, however, according to state purchasing documents dated March 27. The court-appointed monitor said officials would need to have the Joliet facility reopened “as soon as possible, and certainly within the next 18 months.”

A vote on the income tax hike and discussions regarding alternative revenue sources are likely to come up again after the November election.

A sewage tank rolled off the back of a truck around 11:25 a.m. Tuesday at Cherry Hill Road near Route 52 in Joliet Township.

CELEBRATING AN ACTIVE LIFE AFTER AN ORTHOPEDIC IMPLANT

BOLINGBROOK – Police say a parolee brought more than $2,000 worth of heroin to an undercover officer Monday.

Darrell A. Wilson, 28, of the 7400 block of South Eggleston Avenue in Chicago, brought 14 grams of heroin to a customer who turned out to be a Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad agent, according to MANS Director Mike Weber.

Wilson was arrested and booked into the Will County jail on a charge of drug trafficking.

Weber said agents learned a few weeks ago that Wilson had been dealing in the Bolingbrook area. Wilson was released on parole in February from the East Moline Correctional Center where he was serving a six-year sentence for auto theft.

The Department of Corrections reports Wilson has four previous narcotics convic-

tions in the last 10 years.

He has also served time for possession of a firearm by a felon.

Undercover officer makes drug arrest JOLIET – A 24-year-old man was arrested Monday after allegedly bringing cocaine to an undercover officer.

Cmdr. Al Roechner said officers from the Joliet Narcotics Unit made two deals in the last week with Darrell D. Mayo at a parking lot on the East Side.

Mayo, of the 6800 block of South Green Street in Chicago, was arrested on charges of delivery of drugs and drug possession.

“While he was being searched, officers found more cocaine hidden in his underpants,” Roechner said.

May was booked into the Will County jail and his Chevrolet Equinox was seized by police.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner addresses a luncheon meeting of the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce at the Hilton Lisle/Naperville on Monday.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com GOP candidate for governor Bruce Rauner is bringing his campaign to Joliet later this month.

The Winnetka-based businessman is scheduled to speak to members of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry at the organization’s luncheon June 27.

Russ Slinkard, president of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said he hopes Rauner talks specifics about his plans on dealing with pension reform, education, taxes and the budget.

“We want to hear his platform. We want to know who he

is and what he stands for. So far, we haven’t heard a word about it,” Slinkard said.

The Joliet chamber has not made any endorsements in the governor’s race nor does it plan to do so, Slinkard said.

“We typically don’t endorse. We inform,” he said, adding chamber officials are also in talks with Gov. Pat Quinn’s office to invite the Democrat incumbent to a luncheon later this year ahead of the November election.

The chamber’s luncheon will be held at 11:30 a.m. June 27 at the Jacob Henry Mansion Estate, 20 S. Eastern Ave., in Joliet. Reservations are required. Admission is $30 per person.

The company also budgeted $93,500 in reimbursable expenses, including costs for printing, supplies relating to reports and presentations, travel and lodging expenses and mileage reimbursement, bringing total costs of planning to about $1.3 million.

The team also will look into the logistics of having satellite court locations in the northern and eastern portions of Will County to address long-term judicial needs. Another priority is looking into the courthouse’s need for state-of-theart technology and security, a design that lends itself to future growth and energy efficiency components that would ultimately reduce operational costs down the road.

Wight’s plan of action still has to be approved by the full County Board, which meets later this month.

Bruce Rauner will speak to Joliet chamber on June 27

JOLIET – An architectural firm hired by the county earlier this year to plan a new courthouse could also handle public relations for an additional cost, under a scope of services outlined Tuesday to a county board committee.

The Capital Improvements Committee on Tuesday approved the Darien-based Wight & Co.’s preliminary design work, which carries a $1.3 million price tag. Building a new courthouse could cost between $140 and $200 million.

The company’s work includes a concept plan, cost estimates, county population projections and tours of other courthouses. The county also has the option of tacking on other services such as public relations and communications, additional

presentations and site due diligence.

There had been previous talks by committee members to also include a study of the potential for commercial space, such as a cafeteria, coffee shop or public area, but documents presented Tuesday did not include that.

In regards to public relations and communications, the company recommend working with the county to “develop an initial communications plan” and establish a “consistent message for all county leadership and board members to have when representing the project.”

The county would allow the company a $100,000 budget for public relations, according to documents presented Tuesday. A $50,000 budget was included for additional presentations and possible site due diligence.

Dog fighting charges filed against woman

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Lockport Township woman was arraigned Tuesday on charges of drug dealing and dog fighting.

Vanessa Jones, 28, appeared briefly before Judge Robert Livas and was formally charged with two counts of delivery of drugs, Vanessa six counts of dog-fighting and Jones one count of aniLockport mal cruelty. The Township charges against Jones developed from an investigation by the Drug Enforcement Administration that focused on her boyfriend, Solomon Carson.

Attorney Cosmo Tedone, who is representing Carson, 32, on two counts of delivery of drugs, withdrew from representing Jones, who has hired

her own attorney.

But Livas assigned Jones’ case to the same day and courtroom as Carson’s. Both defendants are scheduled to appear July 30 before Judge Edward Burmila. Carson remains in the Will County jail on $750,000 bond.

Carson was arrested Feb. 28, when DEA agents said they seized 120 grams of cocaine, 17 grams of heroin and small amounts of marijuana and ecstasy from the couple’s residence in the 2200 block of Fairmont Avenue.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s office said four adult dogs allegedly being used for fighting were being kept on the property, but two of them were missing when animal control officers arrived to take them. A pit bull puppy was later seized by the DEA. Jones was arrested May 12 and released on $100,000 bond two days later, according to jail records.

cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A Michigan man wanted on a warrant for assault with intent to murder was arrested Monday in Grundy County during a traffic stop.

Joshua L. Webster, 32, of Sturgis, Michigan, is sitting in the Grundy County Jail after the officer who pulled him over for a traffic stop found he was wanted in St. Joseph County, Michigan.

Webster was arrested by Grundy County Sheriff Deputy Aaron Cory at Route 47 and Stonewall Road, just a few miles north of Dwight, Sheriff Kevin Callahan said Tuesday.

Webster was taken in on two Michigan warrants for armed robbery and assault with intent to murder. Locally, he faces charges of driving while license suspended, possession of a stolen motor vehicle, unlawful use of a credit card and possession of a controlled sub-

stance. He also was cited for illegal transportation of alcohol and not wearing his seat belt.

According to an article on the website for the Sturgis Journal, Webster is accused of stabbing a man late Sunday in Sturgis. The victim was stabbed several times in the neck and chest and was listed in stable condition, according to the article. Officials said the assault took place during a robbery attempt. Webster fled in a stolen vehicle after the stabbing.

Webster was stopped by Cory after following another vehicle too closely. Cory ran the out-of-state plates and saw the vehicle was stolen, Callahan said.

Webster was in the Grundy jail as of Tuesday afternoon and is scheduled to have a status hearing Thursday, according to judici.com, where extradition is expected to be addressed.

Bond was set on the possession of a stolen vehicle charge at 10 percent of $50,000.

away three times,” Roechner said.

The video then shows Kalec throw a punch at Pemble but miss, before Pemble hits him, according to Roechner.

After reviewing the incident with the Will County State’s Attorney’s office, Pemble was only prosecuted for battering Lindmark, Roechner said. Pemble was found guilty on one count of battery during a bench trial on May 23 and was sentenced to a year of court supervision.

But on May 16, Kalec sued Pemble for $50,000 – claiming he was battered and left “in an unconscious state to die from exposure” in the minus-11 degree temperature. Kalec also claims Larsen’s contributed to Pemble’s intoxication by selling him liquor. He is seeking $50,000 from the business.

JOLIET – Police say a bar patron battered an employee but was acting in self-defense while fighting another man in January.

But the man police say was the aggressor in the second fight filed a lawsuit last month against the tavern and the customer, who has since been found guilty in the criminal case.

In the early morning hours of Jan. 7, Aaron S. Pemble, 31, was in Larsen’s Corner, 1329 W. Jefferson St., when he argued with a 24-year-old bar manager, according to Cmdr.

“He punched the employee in the side of the face and was then told to leave,” Roechner said. Pemble did so, but re-

turned later with a friend and struck Sean Lindmark again before being ejected, according to authorities.

Shortly before 2 a.m., Derick Kalec, also 24, encountered Pemble and his friend Josh Stroth in the parking lot. According to his lawsuit, Kalec came outside to start his car when Pemble cursed at him, shoved him, “tackled him to the ground and started beating his face” while Stroth recorded the incident on his cellphone.

Kalec was knocked unconscious and police arrived.

Pemble was arrested on battery charges for striking Lindmark and Kalec, Roechner said.

“But officers watched the cellphone video which shows Pemble telling [Kalec] ‘Stay away’ while he gets into his face and he shoved [Kalec]

• Wednesday, June 4, 2014

Major Robert Gilbert Kraker, USAF Retired, of Joliet, IL, passed away on Monday, June 2, 2014 at the Lakewood Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Plainfield, IL at the age of 95. Born March 13, 1919 in Joliet, IL to the late Otto and Lena Kraker.

Bob had one older brother, Willard, who preceded him in death.

Married to Harriet Olive Stundahl January, 26, 1946, who met while both serving their country during WWII, he as a pilot and she as a U.S. Army Air Corp nurse. Harriet preceded him in death in 1981.

Together they had six children.

Growing up and educated in Joliet Public Schools, Bob joined the United States Army Air Forces in March of 1942. He received training in the B-24 (8 missions), B-17 (22 missions) and Crew Training (Lead Crew) with the 487th Bomb Group, 839 Squadron, receiving the Distinguished Flying Cross among his medals and awards. This was a pivotal time in his life as he faced dangers with unknown outcomes and met wonderful people from all over the United States with the same mission of serving their country. After the war, Bob continued his service with the United States Air Force, working for the Auditor General until he retired in December of 1964. After living in Europe and throughout the United States, Bob and Harriet decided to settle down in Joliet, IL. Here, Bob worked for the E. J. &. E. Railway in the accounting department until his retirement.

Bob lead a life of service, whether it was at St. Peter Lutheran Church, his children's school organizations, Lions Club, Christian Youth Center or with family members. More so than those planned activities, it was his willingness to stop and help someone in immediate need that impressed (and sometimes aggravated his waiting/impatient children) and impacted us most. He was that guy who would stop to help a person change a tire or that you could call to help get a snake out of the kitchen in the middle of the night!

He is survived by his children, Robert (Kathee Podobnik) Kraker, Karen (Bob) Urso, Kerry (Kris Keslar) Kraker, Mary Kraker, Rachel (Dean) Hudson and Stephanie Kraker-Garris; 11 grandchildren, Brian and Elizabeth Kraker, Charissa (Brian Odell), Rob (Michelle Bateman), Richard (Stephanie Shannon) Kraker, Harriet and

Baskerville Funeral Home, 700 East Kahler Road in Wilmington(815-4762181). Funeral Mass will follow at 11:00AM in Saint Rose Catholic Church, 604 South Kankakee Street in Wilmington. Cremation rites will be accorded following the services, and inurnment will be in Oakwood Cemetery in Braidwood, where Karen will be laid to rest with her daughter, Hope.

Preferred memorials may be made as gifts in Karen's memory to Kuzma Care Cottage.

Quinn says Illinois budget still needs work

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn said the nearly $36 billion budget state lawmakers sent him still needs work and vowed Tuesday to comb through it before signing off.

The spending plan doesn’t include an extension of the state’s 2011 temporary income tax increase, which Quinn had said was necessary to avoid massive cuts to education and other areas. When the tax rolls back in January, it’ll create roughly a $1.8 billion revenue hole. Legislators, who rejected an election-year tax extension, have said they’ll return after the November election to address the revenue question.

The move creates a sticky situation for Quinn.

Quinn, who has called the budget “incomplete,” defended his intentions Tuesday in his first comments to reporters on the budget since lawmakers approved it early Saturday. He said he proposed an honest and detailed budget in March that addressed the state’s serious financial issues, while his opponent hasn’t yet presented a spending plan.

“The other person is too timid, too fearful to lay out a plan for the people of Illinois,” Quinn told reporters at an elementary school on Chicago’s south side.

Moody’s: Lost Illinois tax revenue could hurt rating

SPRINGFIELD – A bond rating agency has announced that Illinois’ financial rating could take a hit if lawmakers don’t extend an income tax increase scheduled to roll back in January.

released a statement Tuesday that says allowing the tax rate to drop might force more borrowing and continued overdue bills.

The state’s income tax is set to decrease from 5 percent to 3.75 percent this winter, leaving a $1.8 billion revenue hole.

State lawmakers failed to pass a tax extension before finishing their spring session last week.

The report also says it would reverse much of the financial progress made in the state with the nation’s worst credit rating. Since 2011, the state has used a $26 billion increase in revenues to address pension payments and unpaid bills.

City of Chicago sues over painkiller marketing

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago is seeking damages in a lawsuit accusing five drugmakers of deceptively marketing a class of prescription painkiller that can be highly addictive.

The lawsuit filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court states the city has paid nearly $9.5 million for filling opioid prescriptions since 2007. It alleges the pharmaceutical companies’ marketing of opioids for long-term use to treat non-cancer pain was false, misleading and “unsupported by science.”

The suit also claims drugmakers attempted to expand the long-term use of opioids beyond the treatment of cancer pain to reap bigger profits. The damages would be determined at trial if the city were successful in its case.

“In order to expand the market for opioids and realize blockbuster profits, [the five companies] needed to create a sea-change in medical and public perception that would permit the use of opioids for long periods of time to treat more common aches and pains, like lower back pain, arthritis, and headaches,” the lawsuit states. The companies, the suit

alleges, “set out to, and did, reverse the popular and medical understanding of opioids.”

Chicago’s state lawsuit is strikingly similar to one filed by two California counties last month. Both lawsuits name Johnson & Johnson’s Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Purdue Pharma, Actavis, Endo Health Solutions Inc., and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries’ Cephalon Inc. Mayor Emanuel released a statement criticizing drugmakers for deceiving the public about the “true risks and benefits of highly potent and highly addictive painkillers in order to expand their customer base and increase their bottom line.”

“This has led to a dramatic rise in drug addiction, overdose and diversion in communities across the nation, and Chicago is not immune to this epidemic,” Emanuel said.

“Today, we’re saying enough is enough – it’s time for these companies to end these irresponsible practices and be held accountable for their deceptive actions.”

Springfield’s Lincoln Home wants to build archives

SPRINGFIELD – The Lincoln Home Historic Site Room is running out of storage space for thousands of artifacts and documents and administrators say they want the federal government to build an archives center at the Springfield site.

“It’s very crowded,” Lincoln Home curator Susan Haake told The State Journal-Register. “We are packed to the gills as far as paper documents.”

Administrators said they’ll ask for $4.5 million to build a territorial archives center that would house more than 324,000 documents and artifacts, including 7,000 pieces from the Lincoln era. Those items include paperwork, but also furniture, quilts and other items.

NATION BRIEFS Ex-Charlotte mayor pleads guilty CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Former Charlotte Mayor Patrick Cannon placed his left hand on a Bible and raised his right, swearing to tell the truth Tuesday as he admitted his guilt in accepting thousands of dollars in cash and airline tickets from undercover federal agents posing as businessmen.

In a deal with prosecutors, Cannon pleaded guilty to one count of honest services wire fraud, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

“Yes sir, your honor, I am,” Cannon, a 47-year-old Democrat, told U.S. Magistrate Judge David Cayer when asked whether he was guilty.

Cayer accepted the plea.

Cannon is out on bond, and his sentence will be decided at a later hearing before a U.S. district court judge.

Alternative VA health care bill proposed WASHINGTON – Four Senate Republicans are proposing a bill that would give veterans more flexibility to see a private doctor if they are forced to wait too long for an appointment at a Veterans Affairs hospital or clinic.

Arizona Sen. John McCain and three other GOP senators introduced the bill Tuesday. The measure is the latest response in Congress to a furor over patient delays and cover-ups at VA

health facilities nationwide.

The Republican chairman of the House Veterans Affairs Committee is preparing legislation to make VA offer non-VA care to veterans who cannot be seen within 30 days. The independent chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee has proposed a bill letting veterans go to community health centers, military hospitals or private doctors if they cannot a timely VA appointment.

Shield law backers sense momentum after vote WASHINGTON – Supporters of legislation to protect reporters from being compelled to name confidential sources are claiming new momentum after a recent surprise vote in the GOP-controlled House and in advance of a possible Senate debate this summer.

Last week’s 225-183 House vote came on an amendment

by Rep. Alan Grayson, D-Fla., that would block the Justice Department from compelling journalists from testifying about confidential information or sources.

“It is completely incongruous to say we have freedom of the press but the federal government can subpoena your sources and put them and you in prison – you – if you don’t comply,” Grayson said.

Forty-eight states have some form of a shield law.

A sign that reads “15 Good Work Seattle” is displayed below Seattle City Hall (right) and the Columbia Center building (left) Monday after the Seattle City Council passed a $15 minimum wage measure.

$15 minimum wage permits few luxuries in U.S. cities

By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP The Associated Press SEATTLE – A $15 minimum wage like the one adopted in Seattle doesn’t buy many luxuries in most American cities.

Lattes, theater tickets and cable TV will still be out of reach for most minimum-wage workers. But about $31,000 a year should be enough to pay the average rent for a shared one-bedroom apartment, plus utilities, health insurance, groceries and an inexpensive cellphone plan.

Monday’s vote by the Seattle City Council created the nation’s highest minimum wage. The state minimum wage in Washington was already $9.32 an hour, the highest state wage in the U.S. Expatistan, a website that tracks the cost of living in cities around the world, says New York, San Francisco, Washington, D.C., Honolulu, Boston and Seattle are the most expensive U.S. cities overall, in that order.

In Seattle, a gallon of milk

averages about $3.60, a gallon of gas $3.94, a ride on the bus $2.50. A 16-ounce latte at Starbucks is $3.35 and a pint of local beer $4.50. A typical one-bedroom apartment rents for $1,400.

Seattle’s wage is set to begin climbing in April 2015, with many workers reaching $11 an hour next year. That will surpass San Francisco’s minimum wage, which at $10.55 an hour is currently the highest of any American city.

An Associated Press comparison of the cost of living in several other major U.S. cities shows a higher wage would make a difference in those places too, but it won’t allow for many extras.

NEW YORK CITY: New York’s minimum wage is $8, and the median Manhattan rent is $3,420, according to a recent report, so multiple roommates would be required to get by on a yearly minimum-wage salary of $16,640.

MIAMI: Miami’s minimum wage

has been $7.93 since January and is adjusted annually. The city’s Consumer Price Index has gone up by 2 percent over the last year as the region recovers from the housing market collapse of eight years ago.

CHICAGO: Chicago community activists and labor groups are pushing for the city to follow Seattle’s lead on the minimum wage. At the ballot box in March, Chicago voters backed a $15 minimum wage in an advisory referendum.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel has formed a task force to study the issue, and a group of city council members have already proposed an ordinance to phase in a $15 wage.

The city does not currently have a set minimum wage separate from the state’s current level of $8.25, which has been in place since 2011.

In Chicago, many basic everyday needs are among the most expensive in the nation.

A gallon of regular gasoline surpasses $4, behind only Los Angeles and San Francisco on a list of major cities.

Top military officer: Bergdahl case not closed

By LOLITA C. BALDOR and ROBERT BURNS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The nation’s top military officer said Tuesday the Army could still throw the book at Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl, the young soldier who walked away from his unit in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan and into five years of captivity by the Taliban.

Charges are still a possibility, Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told The Associated Press as criticism mounted in Congress about releasing five high-level Taliban detainees in exchange for Bergdahl. The Army might still pursue an investigation, Dempsey said, and those results could conceivably lead to desertion or other charges.

Congress began holding hearings and briefings into the deal that swapped Bergdahl for Taliban officials who had been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and several lawmakers said President Barack Obama didn’t notify them as a law governing the release of Guan-

White House staff members called key members of Congress to apologize, but that didn’t resolve the issue.

Since Dempsey issued a statement Saturday welcoming Bergdahl home, troops who served with the soldier have expressed anger and resentment that his freedom – from a captivity that they say he brought upon himself – may

have cost comrades’ lives.

Troops stood in stony silence at Bagram Air Field when Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel announced Bergdahl’s release over the weekend, and many have since insisted he be punished.

“Today we have back in our ranks the only remaining captured soldier from our conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Welcome home, Sgt. Bowe

Bergdahl,” Dempsey said Saturday.

However, Dempsey called the AP on Tuesday to note that charges were still a possibility, and he focused his thanks on the service members who searched fruitlessly for Bergdahl after he walked away, unarmed, on June 30, 2009.

“This was the last, best opportunity to free a United States soldier in captivity,” Dempsey said. “My first instinct was gratitude for those who had searched for so long, and at risk for themselves. ...

Done their duty in order to bring back a missing solider.

For me, it was about living up to our ethos, which is to leave no soldier behind. And on that basis I was relieved to get Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl back in the ranks, and very happy for the men and women who had sacrificed to do so.”

Dempsey said Bergdahl’s next promotion to staff sergeant, which was to happen soon, is no longer automatic because the soldier is no longer missing in action and job performance is now taken into account.

Dempsey said he does not

want to prejudge the outcome of any investigation or influence other commanders’ decisions. But he noted that U.S. military leaders “have been accused of looking away from misconduct” and said no one should assume they would do so in this case.

Army Chief of Staff Gen. John McHugh later said that after Bergdahl recovers physically and is “reintegrated,” the Army would “review the circumstances” of his case.

Some former soldiers who served with him were already passing judgment.

Joshua Cornelison, who was a medic in Bergdahl’s platoon said he believes Bergdahl should be held accountable for walking away.

“After he actually left, the following morning we realized we have Bergdahl’s weapon, we have Bergdahl’s body armor, we have Bergdahl’s sensitive equipment [but] we don’t have Bowe Bergdahl,” Cornelison said from Sacramento, California. At that point, Cornelison said, it occurred to him that Bergdahl was “that one guy that wanted to disappear, and now he’s gotten his wish.”

By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN The Associated Press BEIJING – Beijing put additional police on the streets and detained government critics Tuesday as part of a security crackdown on the eve of the 25th anniversary of the crushing of pro-democracy protests centered on the capital’s Tiananmen Square.

Police manned checkpoints, and officers and paramilitary troops patrolled pedestrian overpasses and streets surrounding the square.

The increased security comes on top of heightened restrictions on political activists, artists, lawyers and other government critics. Dozens have been taken into detention, forced out of Beijing or confined to their homes in other parts of the country.

“June 4 has come again and the plainclothes officers are here to protect us. I can’t leave the house to travel or lecture,” Jiangsu province-based environmental activist Wu Lihong said in a text message.

Artist and former activist Guo Jian also was taken away

by authorities Sunday night, shortly after a profile of him appeared in the Financial Times newspaper in commemoration of the crackdown’s anniversary. As he was being detained, Guo, an Australian citizen, told an Associated Press reporter he would be held until June 15.

A writer and officer of the Independent Chinese PEN Center, who writes under the name Ye Du, also was taken from his home in the southern city of Guangzhou to join a forced “tour trip,” his wife, Wan Haitao, said by phone.

Such compulsory trips are a common method of keeping government critics under 24hour watch without the need to initiate legal proceedings.

In an apparent sign of government nervousness, connections to the global Internet appeared to have been disrupted, with Google’s mail and other services mostly inaccessible. China already routinely blocks popular overseas social media sites such as Twitter and YouTube and heavily censors Chinese sites for politically sensitive content.

Security tight on eve of Tiananmen anniversary

Hamas seized the Gaza Strip from Abbas’ forces in June 2007, leaving him in control only of autonomous areas of the West Bank. The Palestinians claim the two areas, along with Israeli-annexed east Jerusalem, for an independent state. Israel captured the territories in 1967.

The Palestinian rift is considered a major obstacle to statehood. Many in Israel itself have long used it to argue that a deal with Abbas is not credible because he doesn’t govern all the Palestinians.

As U.S.-backed peace talks collapsed in late April, Abbas decided to focus on getting internal Palestinian affairs in order and reached the reconciliation deal with Hamas.

The world community’s reaction suggests a general sense that the reconciliation might constitute an elegant solution to a conundrum: While few countries back Hamas, the group seems here to stay. And since Hamas will probably not formally accept the existence of Israel anytime soon, its backing of a government that Abbas says does might be seen as a step forward.

Israel is instead accusing Abbas of abandoning hopes for peace.

Israeli Cabinet Minister Naftali Bennett said officials were blindsided by Washington’s decision, likening it to Israel deciding to begin talking to al-Qaida. He said the U.S. is still Israel’s best friend, but called the move a “profound disappointment.”

People’s Liberation Army soldiers march Tuesday near their rifles before an honor guard performance for a welcome ceremony outside the Great Hall of the People near Tiananmen Square in Beijing.

JERUSALEM – Israel’s prime minister said Tuesday he is “deeply troubled” by the United States’ decision to maintain relations with the new Palestinian unity government, urging Washington to tell the Palestinian president that his alliance with the Hamas militant group is unacceptable.

The blunt language used

by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reflected his dismay over the international community’s embrace of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’ new unity government, and marked the latest in a string of disagreements between Netanyahu and the White House.

Netanyahu has urged the world to shun the government because it is backed by Hamas, an Islamic group that has killed hundreds of Israelis in attacks over the past two decades. But late Monday, both the U.S. and European Union said they would give Abbas a chance.

“I’m deeply troubled by the announcement that the United States will work with the Palestinian government backed by Hamas,” Netanyahu told The Associated Press, saying the group has murdered “countless innocent civilians.”

“All those who genuinely seek peace must reject President Abbas’ embrace of Hamas, and most especially, I think the United States

must make it absolutely clear to the Palestinian president that his pact with Hamas, a terrorist organization that seeks Israel’s liquidation, is simply unacceptable,” he said.

Asked whether Israel is lobbying its allies to change their position toward the unity government, an Israeli official said the government is “definitely in a conversation with the U.S. and other world powers, sharing our views on how to deal with the Palestinian government.” He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the diplomatic effort with the media.

Israel and the West have branded Hamas, which is sworn to Israel’s destruction, a terrorist group. But Israel’s allies in Washington and Europe have said they will maintain ties to the new government – and continue sending hundreds of millions of dollars in aid – as long as it renounces violence and recognizes Israel’s right to exist.

Abbas says the new Cabinet is committed to these principles. It is made up of apolitical technocrats who have no ties to Hamas, which has agreed to support the government from the outside.

Abbas’ Fatah movement and Hamas formed the new government Monday in a major step toward ending a seven-year rift that left the Palestinians divided between two governments.

Kate Schott Editor

OUR VIEW

Quinn should veto Plainfield legislation Gov. Pat Quinn can expect a couple hundred of proposed laws to cross his desk in the next few weeks.

There is one bill – which would give two state legislators the power to appoint members of the Plainfield Township Park District board – we advise him to not sign.

The legislation is no longer needed and creates what state Sen. Dale Righter, R-Mattoon, aptly called “a nightmarish precedent.”

House Bill 5593 was created in the midst of an embarrassing situation at the Plainfield Township Park District under the executive leadership of Garrett Peck.

Peck had no park administrative experience when he got the job. The appointment, questionable from the start, was made by a park board majority that made a series of curious and controversial decisions.

The antics brought unwanted attention to the park board. And it led to the introduction of House Bill 5593, which gives area lawmakers state Rep. Tom Cross, R-Oswego, and state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, the power to appoint two park board members.

The idea behind the measure is the new members would break up the majority that had power but was proving increasingly unpopular.

But that’s already happened. Peck quit.

The board majority split up. Board President Peter Hurtado was replaced by Mary Kay Lundemann, who previously was an outspoken member of the minority.

It was a messy process, but the Plainfield park board has addressed the problem under pressure from multiple sources, including Plainfield residents.

This is the way democracy and local government should work.

The proposed legislation already has served its best purpose by adding to the public embarrassment that led to a change in how the park board conducted its business. Giving two legislators the power to appoint board members – who would not be elected by district residents – only asks for trouble.

And what’s to prevent state lawmakers from interfering in local politics in the future when boards act in an disagreeable manner?

Let the people vote for all the commissioners. The voters may pick bums, but at least they will be the people’s bums.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Illinois General Assembly taking the easy way out SPRINGFIELD – Politicians are like water – they always take the easiest path.

When faced with difficult decisions this year, the Illinois General Assembly sat on its hands and told you a fib.

We were told Illinois government is entering a period of “austerity.”

Baloney.

This year’s budget is $850 million more than last year’s.

And folks, most of that extra spending is being paid for through borrowing.

The politicians raided special use funds throughout state government, harvested $650 million and then promised to pay it back in 18 months.

But I haven’t heard anyone explain just how they plan to pay it back.

If we don’t have the money to

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder pay for that extra spending now, how will we have the money in a year and one half to pay for that continued level of spending and pay back the borrowed money?

Beats me.

Hang on to your wallets, folks.

In the backrooms of the Illinois Statehouse they are already talking about shoving a tax hike down our throats – after the election – but before the new General Assembly gets sworn in.

These types of lame duck shenanigans have a long, pathetic history in the Prairie State.

Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty of these types of antics.

But this time all eyes are on Mike Madigan, the longtime speaker of the House and state Democratic Party chieftain.

He has said he is committed to making the temporary 67 percent income tax hike permanent. But he contends he didn’t have the votes to pass it this session.

I’ve seldom seen Madigan not get what he wants.

But he is a patient man.

Exceedingly patient.

Look for arms to start getting twisted once the election is over.

The actions of this year’s General Assembly are geared toward precipitating a crisis.

There are elements within state government and among those who enrich themselves at taxpayer’s expense that so want a tax hike they are willing to anything to

See REEDER, page 23

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

who call Illinois home can be forgiven their cynicism. The federal prison system might not actually reserve jail cells for former Illinois governors and other assorted elected officials, but who could blame Uncle Sam if he did? And so a lot of people affiliated with state government get tangled in that web of doubt and suspicion, sometimes fairly, sometimes not.

We’re inclined, at this juncture, to give the process the benefit of the doubt. Local Maps leader Brad McMillan acknowledges that “if we didn’t have 298,000 (plus) solid signatures, we don’t deserve to be on the ballot,” but adds, “We firmly believe we belong on the ballot.” Illinois makes it harder than most to bring a constitutional amendment,” said McMillan. “If our due process rights are violated, we’ll go to federal court. ...

We’re not going to sit idly by.”

As we have written before, if Illinoisans really want to take back control of a state government that has been anything but competent and ethical, nothing else on the November ballot is more important than trying to achieve independent redistricting.

Eyes glaze over, it doesn’t sink in, and we get that. But McMillan is correct that “this strikes at the heart of democracy in Illinois.” Readers can judge for themselves why democracy is so threatening to Illinois’ political leadership.

If this effort falls short of the ballot, well, not only would that be sorely disappointing, but let’s just say no one could be faulted for concluding that Illinois is just an irredeemably hopeless place.

Find someone to do it for you in the At Your Service Directory in the classified section.

Continued from page 22 ensure it happens.

No serious efforts were made to cut overall state spending, despite Illinois having $5 billion in unpaid bills and the worst funded pension system in the nation.

Why? Because some politicians would rather jack up your taxes instead.

Back in 2011 when lawmakers raised our taxes by 67 percent and promised

it would be temporary, we were assured it was just to get the state’s fiscal house in order.

But Illinois remains the economic basket case of the Midwest.

Our unemployment rate is one of the highest in the nation.

And now the politicians are trying to go back on their word and make the tax permanent.

If they didn’t put the state’s fiscal house in order with the last tax hike, why would we think they would with another one?

I haven’t heard a satisfactory answer to that question.

Taxpayers won a victory Friday when the Legislature adjourned without raising taxes.

But the war is far from over.

Hang on, it’s going to be one heck of a fight.

With regard to a citizen initiative to restore honest, fair elections to Illinois, we knew that it would be rough going, that those in power threatened by any change to the status quo would pull out all the stops to prevent voters from ever having a say.

Reformers hope to take the map-making out from behind closed doors and away from the politicians, who repeatedly have proven themselves incapable of crafting legislative boundaries that don’t pre-determine the winners, that have produced some of the most gerrymandered districts in the nation, that discourage competitive contests, that overtly favor incumbents, that unduly benefit their guys at the expense of the other guys.

Alas, the Yes for Independent Maps campaign has run into its first major roadblock, with the State Board of Elections finding only 45 percent of its petition signatures – in a small sample of the some 507,000 submitted – to be valid for getting the measure on the Nov. 4 ballot. Almost 60 percent, or nearly 299,000 legitimate John Hancocks, are required.

The not-so-subtle implication here is that the fix is in, and that the mysterious hand of House Speaker Michael Madigan – who’s also chairman of the state’s Democratic Party – is manipulating matters in some way. We can’t vouch for that, though it’s fair to say Madigan is no fan of the effort.

His allies – specifically his former legal counsel – already have filed a lawsuit to thwart both this and a legislator term limit ballot initiative championed by GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner. All

TINLEY PARK – Joliet West freshman pitcher Kiley Robb was well aware of what she was facing in Tuesday’s Class 4A Andrew Sectional semifinal.

Plainfield Central has proven time and again that it can hit the ball and is not afraid to come from behind.

Robb finally was able to breathe a genuine sigh of relief when junior right fielder Lorelei Tokarczyk lofted a grand slam home run over the center-field fence in the bottom of the fourth inning to extend West’s lead to 10-1.

The Tigers went on to win, 11-1, as Tokarczyk, fittingly, delivered a walkoff single through a drawn-in infield with one out in the sixth inning.

It sets up a 10 a.m. Saturday battle for the sectional title against a SouthWest Suburban Blue adversary, either Lockport or Lincoln-Way East.

Those two meet at 4:30 p.m.

Wednesday in the other semifinal.

“I was on base when Lorelei hit the grand slam,” said Robb, who notched three of West’s nine hits. “I was very excited to be backed up with all those runs.

“They are a tough team, a very good hitting team. I had to keep hitting corners and I knew we could make it work.”

Tigers coach Heather Suca was not as comfortable.

“I’m never confident until the game is over,” she said. “[Central] scored seven runs in the sixth to come back and beat Plainfield South the other day.”

Central (22-14), which split two regular-season games with West, matched the Tigers’ nine hits. But West (30-7) benefited from eight walks and two hit batters, and the Wildcats also made two costly errors.

“Kudos to them,” Central coach Anne Campbell said.

“They absolutely are a great team. They’re the No. 1 seed for a reason.

“We played tentative from the get-go. They got all the momentum, and it snowballed.

Joliet West shortstop Alysia Rodriguez tags out Plainfield Central’s Michaela Schlattman during the third inning of Tuesday’s game.

We didn’t play as well we have been playing. We gave them 11 free bases. You can’t make those mistakes at this point of the season.”

West got on the board in the bottom of the first when Alysia Rodriguez reached on a fielder’s choice, stole second and scored on Robb’s single.

Rodriguez triggered a four-run third with a one-out double that she drilled off the left-center field fence. Julia Liceaga singled home a run and Kristen Ames singled in two more.

“That was a big hit Kristen got,” Rodriguez said. “The one I hit, I hit it pretty hard. I was hoping it would just get a little more height.”

Central got a run back in the fourth when Hannah Franceschini doubled and scored on Tara Cannella’s single. But if the Wildcats had thoughts of getting back in it, Tokarczyk applied with dagger with her slam in the bottom of the inning.

“I wasn’t thinking anything, just get up there and hit,” said Tokarczyk, who also homered in the Tigers’ 4-3 win

over Yorkville in the title game of the Lincoln-Way North Regional. “We hit the ball pretty hard all day and when you do that, teams usually make some errors and help you out.”

Robb doubled to right-center for her third hit leading off the sixth and Madi Mulder sacrificed to set up Tokarczyk’s walkoff single.

“The hits I got were just a bonus,” Robb said, smiling.

Cannella and Gretchen Egly had two hits apiece for Central, which stranded 10 runners. Robb, however, was not in a giving mood. She walked nobody and went to three balls on only two hitters.

“The hits were even, but they gave us opportunities,” Suca said. “We got clutch hits and our defense made clutch plays.”

Youth, improved defense lift Joliet West to final VIEWS Dick Goss TINLEY PARK – Junior Alysia Rodriguez did not know she was going to be Joliet West’s regular shortstop until the softball season was about to begin.

Sophomore Kristine Bourg, the incumbent, decided not to play, leaving a hole at the key position. Rodriguez and the rest of the Tigers’ defense went through some early growing pains, but here we are in early June, and West is throwing some leather.

Senior catcher Julia Liceaga has been a constant, with her defense and handling the pitching staff. She did another outstanding job Tuesday, guiding freshman Kiley Robb through a nine-hitter in an 11-1 Class 4A Andrew Sectional semifinal win over Plainfield Central. Robb walked nobody and never had issues with falling behind in the count.

When Central’s Allison Mangino led off the fifth with a triple, it seemed a cinch she would score and at least get the Wildcats within 6-2.

Instead, with nobody out, Liceaga rifled a beautiful throw to third baseman Madi Mulder to pick off Mangino.

With that kind of a catcher, with Rodriguez getting it done at shortstop, Jen Ames doing likewise at second base and a center fielder in Karina Vargas who covers ground, West is strong up the middle.

“Our defense has picked it up,” Tigers coach Heather Suca said. “There was a time when it was our weakness.

Alysia has picked it up a lot lately at shortstop. She seems to be better with the pressure on.

“And that pickoff Julia got at third, that was huge.”

“We have a team that hits well,” Rodriguez said. “If we also have the defense to go with our pitching, we’re unstoppable.”

That was not a boast, mind you, only a statement of where this team has been heading.

Joliet West’s Lily Ongkiko slides safely into home plate to score a run as Plainfield Central catcher Maria Connell fails to make the tag in time during the third inning of Tuesday’s softball sectional semifinal at Andrew High School in Tinley Park. Joliet West won, 11-1.

Saturday’s sectional final against Lockport or Lincoln-Way East.

Robb (13-4) and senior Joy Treasure (17-3) have split the pitching load down the middle, and both sport ERAs in the low 2s.

In addition, Suca’s 3-4-5 hitters are Treasure, Rodriguez and Robb.

Still, when you watch the Tigers, what jumps out is their balance up and down the lineup, and how good they are for how young they are.

Three freshmen – Robb, third baseman Mulder and left fielder Kristen Ames – are regulars. Another freshman, DeShonte Smith, has been a part-time player and a prized pinch-hitter.

“All the freshmen are making clutch plays,” Suca said. “Kristen has a knack for finding a hole somewhere like she did [Tuesday for a two-run single]. Madi has been solid offensively, and she has become a pretty good third baseman.

“DeShonte is our clutch pinch-hitter. She has 20 RBIs and for no more at-bats than

she has [63], that’s remarkable.”

Robb said having several classmates in major roles has helped make this season special for her.

“We’re having a great season,” she said. “This is the best freshman year I could have asked for. For all of us freshmen to be on the varsity and starting and contributing, that’s great. All of us are close, and going through this season is making us even closer.”

Rodriguez said there is nothing but good feelings toward the Kiddie Corps.

“I love having the freshmen with us,” she said. “They are doing a phenomenal job.”

With Rodriguez, Jen Ames and Lorelei Tokarczyk among the juniors on the roster, West figures to be a team to reckon with in 2015. But this is not the time to be looking ahead.

The Tigers know they must beat an SWS Blue adversary, either Lockport or Lincoln-Way East, Saturday morning to claim the sectional crown. That’s all that is on their minds.

natural an outfielder she is,” Morris coach Jen Lowery said. “She went back after that thing, it looked like, without a care in the world. She just went back and got it.

“The girls were just so positive all day. They are positive all the time, but they really had an extra spark [Tuesday].”

Morris freshman pitcher Abby Burns answered every tough situation with an even tougher pitch, and helped herself at the plate by hitting an RBI double in the top of the fourth.

“Kellen saved us big time,” Burns said. “It makes it a lot easier to pitch when you know your teammates are going to catch everything. We got a lot of hits [Tuesday] and our hitters hit well, but we just didn’t get them all right together.

That double play in the sixth inning really helped, too.”

Burns allowed just five hits and struck out seven against three walks.

“Abby threw well,” Lowery said. “She really hit her spots when she needed to. All of our games are going to be close from here on out. Timely hits, executing on defense and solid pitching will be what wins games, and we did all of that [Tuesday].

“Our girls left it all on the field, and that’s what we have to keep doing every game.”

MANTENO – As the postseason goes on and games gain significance, the manner in which they are won is not important. The fact that they are won is what is important.

Morris’ softball team picked up its second straight 2-1 win Tuesday, beating Tinley Park in the semifinals of the Class 3A Manteno Sectional. The Redskins (21-8) will take on the winner of today’s Manteno-Peotone game in the final at 11 a.m. Saturday.

In games as close as this one was, every little play can be scrutinized and dissected.

Here’s a few of the biggest: In the bottom of the seventh, after Morris took a 2-1 lead, Redskin catcher Emily Moore made a diving catch in foul territory between first and home on a popped-up bunt by Tinley Park’s Lauren Buckwalter. It exemplified Morris’ desire to go all-out in order to get the win.

In the bottom of the sixth, Tinley Park rallied to score a run and tie the game with no outs and a runner on first. The next Titan batter hit a liner toward right field, but Morris second baseman Taya Torkelson caught it and threw to first for a double play, erasing the runner and keeping Morris

from being down a run in the top of the seventh.

In the top of the seventh, Morris scored a textbook run.

Leah Lines led off with a single to right and was sacrificed to second by Kellen Bernickus.

Kelly Kolotka, the Redskins’ No. 9 hitter, hit the first pitch up the middle to score Lines, and make it, 2-1.

“I was having a little panic attack before I went up to hit,” Kolotka said. “[Assistant] Coach [Jen] Bamonte told me to just relax and breathe. I got really lucky with the pitch I got, and just hit it hard and put it in play.

“Our defense had faith that we would hold them after that.

It was the same score as our last game [a 2-1 win over Ottawa in the regional final Saturday.] I would like a few more insurance runs, but we’ll take it.”

The biggest play of the game, however, was in the bottom of the third, when the game was still scoreless. With two outs, Tinley’s Sam Alberto hit a fly ball that rode the wind blowing out to left field. Morris’ Bernickus kept running back, finally reaching up to catch it just before it got to the fence – her glove well above the fence line – robbing Alberto of a homer and Tinley Park of the lead.

Edwardsville ends special season for Wildcats

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, June 4, 2014

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – After enjoying the most successful boys volleyball season in school history, Plainfield Central’s magical run seemed destined to end with an initial appearance in the state finals.

But for an Edwardsville squad that only owned a .500 record a few weeks back, a trip to this weekend’s tournament in Hoffman Estates also seemed like a fitting reward.

Since little seemed to differentiate the Wildcats and Tigers, Tuesday’s Bolingbrook Sectional championship figured to be tight, and indeed it went right down to the wire.

With a quarterfinal match against top-ranked Lincoln-Way East on Friday as the reward, Edwardsville overcame an early six-point deficit in the third set and then closed out a 23-25, 25-20, 25-23 victory over Central.

“Credit them since they stepped up,” Central coach Alex Hurlburt said. “They started blocking and hitting better and the run they had was all them. I’m not disappointed in my guys since they put all that they had on the court this whole season and this was no exception.

“Our goal when I inherited the program was to make Plainfield Central be on the map for the long term. I’m extremely proud of our four seniors, Tom Poznanski, Tyler Spangler, Kyle Oehler and Matt Bonderski since they paved the path to make that happen.”

The Wildcats (27-11) looked to be in good shape in the final set after grabbing an early 11-5 lead, but the Tigers (21-12) rallied to pull ahead and then ahead for good late.

Gage Wuestenfeld (11 kills) got a kill to make it 21-20 and then Tom Poznanski (21 kills) added a pair of kills to pull his squad to tie it at 22.

But the Tigers received a block and took advantage of a hitting error before Brandon Davis recorded his 13th kill to wrap up the win.

Central also had an early 11-8 advantage in the middle

Plainfield Central’s Noah Randall tips the ball over the Edwardsville defense at the boys volleyball sectional final Tuesday at Bolingbrook High School. Plainfield Central lost in three sets. set and still led, 16-15, before Edwardsville gained control, setting the table for the dramatic finish.

Things also were close throughout the first set with the Wildcats overcoming a 1511 deficit by maintaining advantage through the final few points.

After Edwardsville moved ahead, 22-21, after a block, a long serve and kill by Poznanski put Central back in front and Poznanski ended the set with another kill.

Also for the Wildcats, Noah Randall handed out 45 assists, Tyler Spangler chipped in with five kills and Kyle Oehler added four kills.

“We were up, 11-5, in the

last game and a couple of points swung the momentum their way and they capitalized so give credit to them,” Poznanski said. “They had a pretty big front row and some good hitters and blockers.

“I’m really proud of what our team did this year. No one expected us to be here and we made program history by winning our first regional. I give a lot of credit to our coaches and they really helped us. Every player developed so much from the beginning of the season.”

Edwardsville, which is making its first state appearance since 2011, also received 16 kills from Will Frank and 40 assists from Jake Vandever.

Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane celebrates his goal Friday against the Los Angeles Kings during the second period of Game 6 of the Western Conference final in Los Angeles. the Blackhawks Convention on July 18-20.

Toews and Kane weren’t exactly being coy about their futures, either.

“Who could ever think of a better situation to be in?”

Toews said. “Just to see the growth of this franchise in the city of Chicago, the amazing fans we have here, there’s no doubt in my mind there’s no better way to have it as a hockey player.”

Kane was less ebullient, saying he hadn’t had any discussions about his future with Bowman, Brisson, Toews, or his parents. But he added, “I know we both love it here in Chicago, we love playing here and having the chance to win every year.”

That’s Bowman’s trump card – the chance to win every year. No matter what other teams might be able to offer Toews or Kane, few, if any, would be able to offer the chance to compete for a Stan-

ley Cup every season.

“The one thing I know about both of them is they want to win,” Bowman said. “You take all the other things and set them aside, they’re,winners and they want to win. And we’re committed to winning.”

Kane would never say so, but there are some within the organization who believe he’s been frustrated with the Hawks’ lack of a true second-line center. Kane played with six different centers this season, and as Joel Quenneville admitted, that’s been pretty much the case every year with Kane. But Kane found instant success against the Kings on a line with Andrew Shaw and Brandon Saad.

And with Teuvo Teravainen poised to join the Hawks fulltime next fall, and Boston College standout Kevin Hayes working on a contract, the team’s void up the middle behind Toews could finally be filled.

CHICAGO – After seeing his team fall in sectional play for three straight years, including the past two in title matches, Austin Royer was determined to win this time.

With the senior setter directing a varied attack, while also delivering effective serving, Lincoln-Way East’s boys volleyball team overcame a tough start against rival Lincoln-Way North with a nice ending in the opening set and then a decisive triumph in the second.

The Griffins earned their first state finals appearance since 2007 when they defeated the Phoenix, 25-20, 25-9, to capture the championship of Tuesday’s Marist Sectional.

As a result, top-ranked East (38-1) advances to Friday’s 2 p.m. state quarterfinals in Hoffman Estates against Edwardsville (2112), which defeated Plainfield Central at Bolingbrook.

It was the Griffins’ fourth victory in five matches with coach Matt Lawrence’s third-ranked Phoenix (345), who were the state runner-up last season.

Royer handed out 19 assists and served up four aces, with most of those coming during a stretch early in the second set when coach Kris Fiore’s squad established control.

“North was a great team and they came out really fired up and that first game was close,” Royer said. “We knew that we had to fight in the second game since they’re the type of team that will stick around.

“We worked real hard

since we wanted this one really bad It’s the best feeling in the world to win this sectional. All four years that I’ve been on the varsity we couldn’t get past the sectional finals so this is a great feeling. I can’t explain it.”

East also got seven kills from Ryan Vorderer, six kills and eight digs from Nate Van Dellen, four kills each from Carson Slager and Aaron Redweik and 13 digs from Josh Phalen. As usual, the Phoenix were paced by their all-state performer, Jake Walenga.

“We were a little shaky at the start and had some nerves and North jumped on us,” Fiore said. “But I told the guys that the sign of a champion is that we were able to take their best punch and came right back at them.

“They had the momentum halfway through game one and then we took it back and they got a little deflated about how well they played and lost. This was a state championship-level match, and Brother Rice’s coach called this sectional a bloodbath and I tend to agree.”

There are numbers to be worked out, a salary cap to wriggle under, maybe even a hometown discount to be discussed. But as far as Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman is concerned, there will be no suspense. No drama. No hardball to be played.

Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane will get contract extensions this summer. And that’ll be that.

“It’s the highest priority for us,” Bowman said Tuesday as the Hawks cleaned out their lockers and scattered for the summer following their Game 7 loss to Los Angeles in the Western Conference final.

“There’s no doubt that’s what we’re going to do.”

Bowman even went so far as to call Pat Brisson – the very fortunate representative for both Toews and Kane – “the best agent in the game.”

So while both Toews and Kane likely can command north of $10 million per season (Pittsburgh’s Evgeni Malkin and Washington’s Alex Ovechkin are the league’s highest-paid players at $9.5 million a year), Bowman had no doubt that he’d be able to keep his two biggest stars. Both players will enter the final year of their matching five-year, $31.5 million contracts next fall, and are eligible to negotiate extensions starting July 1. It certainly wouldn’t be a shock to see the deals announced at

Wide receiver Wilson listens, learns from two of the best

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – At 21 years old, Marquess Wilson is the youngest wide receiver on the Bears’ roster for a second year, but he assures he’s nowhere close to being a rookie.

In fact, as he ran with the first-team offense in Tuesday’s offseason training activity, he said his turning point remained framed in his mind. It’s a scene from last season when Pro Bowl wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery asked him to run routes with them.

Wilson, then a rookie out of Washington State, did as any seventh-rounder would when faced with an invitation to play with two receivers with 2,716 yards between them. He accepted. Then he ran. And he ran some more.

Exhausted, he unstrapped his gloves and looked up to find the Bears’ starting wide receivers lining up again.

“They just kept going, ‘No, we’re going to get a few more,’” Wilson said Tuesday at Halas Hall after practice.

“I strapped back up and just took on the work.”

Right there, Wilson said he saw the line separating elite NFL wide receivers from those who hang their hats on their college statistics. The blur of his first NFL season started to make more sense, like those times he walked off the field or out of the weight room after hours and had to say goodbye to Marshall and Jeffery, as they couldn’t stop themselves.

“Just work, and don’t complain about anything,” Wilson said. “The time you put in is what’s going to come out in the end. Say you’re on the field and you leave 45 minutes after everyone else.

The coaches are going to see that.”

Wilson hopes to work into a slot role with the Bears but recognizes he still has a long way to go. He’s working in a depth chart with Marshall,

Bears receiver Marquess Wilson (above) said he has learned a lot about what it takes to succeed in the NFL from teammates Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery.

Jeffery and tight end Martellus Bennett, each of whom totaled at least 750 receiving yards last season. Wilson, meanwhile, had 13 yards on two catches.

But what the 21-year old has on his teammates is time and room to grow, and he’s starting to feel the results.

Wilson says he has added 10 pounds of upper-leg strength and claims he now weighs 207 pounds. The team roster still lists him at 184.

On one play with the first-

team offense, Wilson exploded out of his stance and made a hard cut on an out pattern.

He looked up to find Jay Cutler’s pass in his face and a defender draped on his back.

Wilson’s timing was perfect as the ball fell into a sweet spot between his 6-foot-4 frame and the sideline.

Wilson scooped the ball to his body and dropped two feet in bounds to the sound of a few cheers. Then he sprinted back to the huddle for another route.

Plainfield girl’s life-threatening nut allergy leads mom to open nut-free bakery

Callie’s Cuties Nut Free Bake Shop is at 16108 S. Route 59, Unit 110B, Plainfield. For information, call 815566-6885, email Laura@ccnutfree. com or visit www.ccnutfree.com.

P

LAINFIELD – “Mom, look at the pig noses.”

Hearing those words from her 10-year-old daughter, Callie, during a walk through the woods, Laura Meehan glanced down at the walnuts – which resembled pig noses to Callie when cracked open. It was a scary sight. Callie, who has Type 1 diabetes, also has a life-threatening nut allergy.

Fortunately, Callie was fine as long as she didn’t touch the bottom of her shoes. It’s Callie’s nut allergy that led Meehan to recently open Callie’s Cuties Nut Free Bake Shop in Plainfield.

The bakery offers celebratory cakes, all homemade, all baked to order and all 100 percent free of tree nuts and peanuts. This includes optional sprinkles, fondant, ganache or chocolate chips, Meehan said.

“I did a lot of research,” Meehan said, “You don’t just say, ‘Hey, do you have nuts in your factory?’ You have to dig deep and ask, ‘Do you ever use any products during your manufacturing process that involves a nut?’ ” Not that Meehan hasn’t gotten stung. On one occasion, after buying several hundred dollars of product from a certain supplier, she learned the company did use a peanut butter flavoring in one of its ice creams, Meehan said.

For the severely allergic individual, even that minute level of nut contamination can be deadly, Meehan said. So simply requesting an updated allergen statement may not contain sufficient and updated information.

“You have to talk to the quality people,” Meehan said.

“You have to ask, ‘What does your manufacturing environment look like behind the scenes? I’m not talking about in one day but in a six-month period.’ ” This awareness of severe

Laura Meehan stands inside her Plainfield bakery – Callie’s Cuties – where Meehan offers 100 percent nutfree celebratory cakes. Meehan’s inspiration for the bakery came from her 10-year-old daughter, who has a life-threatening nut allergy. allergies is new for Meehan, as her entire family dotes on cashews. She never thought twice about feeding her older children – now ages 30, 28 and 24 – peanut butter right off a spoon when they were toddlers, Meehan said.

But after Callie was born, the guidelines for infant feeding had changed, Meehan said.

With increasing numbers of children being diagnosed with food allergies – with peanut butter leading the pack – the scientific world was advising parents to withhold tree nuts and peanuts in any form until after the child’s second birthday, Meehan said.

Callie was 2 years, 5 months the day she ate her first two cashews, Meehan said. An hour

later, Callie said, “My tummy hurts.” As Meehan rubbed her daughter’s belly, Callie started continuously sneezing. Her nose “ran like a faucet.” Meehan dashed for the Benadryl.

“Then her lips blew up and hives appeared on every part of her body,” Meehan said.

Callie struggled to breathe.

Meehan called 911. It took a combination of nebulizer treatments, prednisone and epinephrine before Callie was running up and down the hospital hallways, Meehan said.

Subsequent allergy testing revealed an allergy so life-threatening that Callie and a dish of cashews could not co-exist in a living room. The allergist advised Meehan to avoid any other nuts, too, Mee-

han said.

Meehan scrubbed her house from top to bottom to remove any lingering traces of the family’s favorite snack, sent Callie to birthday parties with the only commercial treat Callie could safely tolerate – Oreos – and pondered a life of birthday parties sans birthday cakes for Callie.

“I wanted to bring back something so simple and joyous as having a birthday cake with ‘Angry Birds’ on it,” Meehan said.

So, Meehan harnessed her years of working as corporate executive assistants with her remembrances of both her grandmothers’ superb baking skills, wrote up a business plan, educated herself on aller-

gies and the commercial baking industry, and pronounced Callie official “taste-tester” and cake artist, as Callie hand “paints” many of the cake designs, Meehan said.

In naming the bakery, Meehan recalled a past holiday experience. Callie had set up a hot chocolate stand, sold her homemade mini pumpkin “cuties” and donated the money to Toys for Tots, Meehan said. It’s this generous spirit of outreach that ultimately drives the bakery’s spirit and why Meehan decided upon the name “Callie’s Cuties.”

Those cuties serve double treat duty for Callie. Two years ago, the normally energetic Callie became sleepy and thirsty (Meehan would find 15 half-drunk diet sodas laying around the house, she said).

Soon afterward, Callie was diagnosed with insulin-dependent diabetes.

However, even diabetic children can occasionally indulge their sweet tooth at Meehan’s bakery, for a single “cutie” with a ganache on top has just eight carbohydrates, Meehan said “Now if Callie wants to eat 10 of them, that’s another thing,” Meehan said with a smile.

Eventually, Meehan would like to expand her products to include a modification of her grandmother’s cinnamon rolls, as well as bars and cookies, especially soy butter cookies, Meehan said.

“I want her to know what a peanut butter cookie tastes like,” Meehan said. “And the protein in it would keep Callie’s blood sugar from spiking too high.”

How do you maintain control?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Sylvester Stallone said, “Success is usually the culmination of controlling failure.”

In today’s deal, success is the culmination of controlling the trump suit. This is easier to do when presented with a deal on paper. At the table, it is harder because no one is ringing a warning bell.

South is in four hearts. West starts the defense with his three top spades. How should South continue?

North opened one club because his hand was too strong for a 15-17-point no-trump. South was tempted simply to raise clubs.

However, he knew that the game revolves around the majors. So he responded one heart. West made a takeout double, promising four spades and four or more diamonds. North’s jump to game was an overbid given his 4-3-3-3 distribution, but he wanted to try for the game bonus. If he had bid only three hearts, South would have also had a close decision.

And note that in five clubs, North should lose two spades and one diamond.

It looks so easy: Ruff the third spade, draw trumps and run the clubs for an overtrick.

Here, though, when West discards on the second round of hearts, the contract is suddenly unmakable. Declarer has lost trump control.

South should be happy to lose one trump trick in order to get these 10: three hearts, one diamond, five clubs and the spade ruff. Declarer must concede the first or second round of trumps.

Then he can win East’s return, draw trumps and run the clubs.

ADVICE Aging population will cause rise in alzheimer’s numbers Dear Abby: More and more of my friends are trying to work and take care of parents who have Alzheimer’s disease. One of my closest friends’ husbands was recently diagnosed with it. He is only 62. I thought Alzheimer’s was only memory loss, but it seems like so much more. His personality has changed. She tells me he gets angry with her when she tries to help him. What exactly is Alzheimer’s, and what can be done to stop it? – Unsure In Oak Park Dear Unsure: I’m sorry to say – from personal experience – that Alzheimer’s disease, while often thought of as “minor memory loss,” is a disease that is ultimately fatal. Its cause is not yet understood. I lost my mother to it. Alzheimer’s kills nerve cells and tissue in the brain, causing it to shrink dramatically. It affects a person’s ability to communicate, to think and, eventually, to breathe. At least 44 million people

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips worldwide are now living with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. As our populations age, those numbers will swell to 76 million by 2030.

Currently there is no way to prevent, stop or even to slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. Some drugs manage the symptoms, but only temporarily.

This is why more funding for Alzheimer’s and more support for the families who are caring for loved ones who have it are so urgently needed.

Readers, June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month.To get involved, visit alz.org/abam.

Dear Abby: I’m currently dating a man who is 10 years older than I am. I’m 24; he’s 34. We have

known each other for two years and we live together. He has two beautiful daughters I adore.

His older daughter, “Pearl” (age 12), called me “Mom” the other night, and then asked me if it was OK. I’m not their mother, and I would never try to take that role away from my boyfriend’s ex, but this puts me in an awkward situation. As much as I love his girls, I don’t want to cause drama or have Pearl get in trouble with her mother. – She Called Me Mom Dear Called Me Mom: Talk to Pearl. Tell her you were touched knowing she feels that way about you and deeply flattered when she called you “Mom,” but you feel if her mother knew about it that she would be hurt.

Then ask Pearl to come up with another affectionate name for you, or suggest one to her.

Plan ahead to keep healthy meals, snacks ready to go Dear Doctor K: Between my job and kids, I rarely have time to prepare and sit down to a healthy meal. I’ve had my fill of fast food and energy bars. Any suggestions?

Dear Reader: It certainly is easy to eat badly. For one thing, as you say, many of us have very hectic schedules. Fast food is appealing because it’s fast. But fast food is often unhealthy.

You don’t have to sacrifice nutrition when you’re on the go.

I spoke to Dr. Michelle Hauser, a nutrition educator and clinical fellow in medicine at Harvard Medical School, and registered dietitian Kathy McManus, director of the Department of Nutrition for Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital. They offered the following tips to keep meals and snacks healthy when you’re in a hurry: • Plan ahead. Plan out meals and snacks for the week. Make a list and go shopping. Then make time in your schedule to cook or prepare the foods.

• Cook in batches. Cook extra food to save time later. You can do this with entire meals or with meal elements. For example, cook a large batch of brown rice, then portion out and freeze the extra.

The rice reheats in the microwave

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff in minutes.

My wife and I do this a lot.

Last night we had what my niece (when she was a child) called “Uncle’s Famous Hamburgers.”

I mixed my secret ingredients into the meat about six weeks ago, and froze six meals’ worth of patties – each meal two patties in its own zippered freezer bag. We’ll have them every week or two.

Same thing with “Uncle’s Famous Spaghetti Sauce.” An hour on a Sunday afternoon saves many hours down the road.

• Eat nutrient-dense foods.

Nutrient-dense foods are the ones with the most vitamins and minerals and the fewest calories.

Try legumes (beans, lentils), dairy products (low-fat yogurt, eggs), avocados, leafy greens (kale, spinach), vegetables (Brussels sprouts, mushrooms, bell peppers), seeds (flax, pumpkin, sesame, sunflower), nuts, whole grains (barley, oats, quinoa, brown rice), fish and poultry.

• Try a smoothie. Toss as many ingredients as you like into a

blender, and you’ll have a drink that can be used for a meal or a snack throughout the day. Plain yogurt and frozen berries and bananas are a good place to start.

But smoothies don’t have to be fruit-based. Vegetables (think carrots, beets and spinach) make delicious smoothies as well. Don’t believe it? Try it. (Still, I prefer fruit.)

• Keep snacks simple. Choose just one or two ingredients. Some satisfying and nutritious pairings include plain, nonfat Greek yogurt and a few nuts; a tablespoon of peanut butter and an apple; or chopped vegetables and a quarter-cup of hummus. Keep snacks packed in your pantry or refrigerator, ready to grab and go.

You’ve got to have chips sometimes? There suddenly are lots of delicious chips on the market that have no unhealthy trans fats and are very low in unhealthy saturated fats. But, in moderation, nuts still are healthier than even “healthy” chips. And, for me, more delicious.

Parents determine height Dr. Wallace: I’m a 13-year-old boy and considered short for my age. I don’t want to be extra tall when I finish growing, but I’m a guy and I would like to be at least 5’8” tall. Right now I’m 5’ tall. My mom is 5’1” and my dad is 5’5” tall. Is it possible for me to reach my goal? Are there any foods that I could eat that would help me grow taller? How about medicine?

My parents keep telling me that “good things come in small packages.”

I tell them that I’m good, but I want to come in a tall package. – Nameless, Vicksburg, Miss.

Dear Nameless: Every generation produces children taller than the previous one, and scientists credit this to a more healthy diet and lifestyle.

But there is no formula that will make you grow taller.

The height of the parents is the most dominant factor determining a child’s eventual height.

Short parents can have a tall child, but Mother Nature’s rule is that when both parents are short, their children will generally follow suit.

Boys continue to grow to somewhere around their 18th birthday, and some continue to grow into their 20s. Most boys have a “growth spurt” where 2 or more inches of height may be added in just a few months. This usually takes place from age 12 to 14.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 14 and so is Ashley and we have been good friends for several years.

Last summer, Megan moved into our neighborhood and Ashley and Megan started spending a lot of time together, and I was not included. Once school started, Ashley started to spend some time with me again, but I’m sure it was because Megan was

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace going to a private parochial high school. The reason I think this is because they get together every weekend and I am never invited to join them.What should I do?

– Lisa, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Lisa: Continue to be friendly with Ashley, but spend less time with her at school. Cultivate new friends! Participate in school sports or join a club that might interest you.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and have been “sort of” in love with a good friend.

But, as you probably guessed, there are issues. The first issue is that he is significantly older than I am. Next, I’m not really sure that I love him or if it’s just “high school” infatuation.

I believe that nothing good could result from our relationship and I’m willing to do what it takes to let it go, but I really want to remain friends. Help! – Nameless, Galesburg Dear Nameless: You have already made up your mind to end the relationship and want me to assure you that it would be in your best interest. I agree. The fact that you said, “Nothing good could result from our relationship” means that you have given this a lot of thought.

It’s not always possible to remain friends after a split in a romantic relationship. Don’t tell him that you want to remain his friend. It’s up to him to make that decision, and it won’t take long for you to find out.

Jonah Hill (left) and Channing Tatum star in the undercover-cop sequel “22 Jump Street.”

‘22 Jump Street’: Signs point to welcome sequel

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post On paper, the 2012 comedy “21 Jump Street” looked like a real dog: Yet another post-Gen X nostalgia piece, this time re-processing the beloved eponymous TV series about hip undercover cops, a show best known for making Johnny Depp a star.

But when the movie came out, it immediately addressed its own dubious provenance when a deputy police chief played by Nick Offerman delivered a world-weary speech about the force being all out of ideas, played out, creatively bankrupt. After this fiendishly clever act of preemptive jiu-jitsu, “21 Jump Street” turned out to be the most delightful surprise of that spring, a slice of March madness that gave an otherwise dreary movie month a genuine reason to trudge to the multiplex.

A big part of what made “21 Jump Street” work – aside from some delicious cameos from the TV show’s original cast – was the chemistry between stars Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum, whose relationship in the film was a brilliantly complicated skein of past resentments, unlikely bonding and, once they infiltrated a California high school as undercover narcs, wonderfully surprising role reversal. Once the jock-BMOC, Tatum’s Greg Jenko realizes his bullying tactics and beefcake swagger are laughably square.

For his part, Hill’s former shy guy Morton Schmidt discovers that misfits are cool.

Hill had long since proven his comic bona fides, but “21 Jump Street” was something of a breakout for Tatum, whose dancer’s strength and mastery of movement fit right into the film’s deft sense of physical comedy (just

months later he had further honed all those skills even more skillfully in “Magic Mike”).

Perhaps it’s asking too much of a TV spinoff to strike the same vein in the sequel. But there are some encouraging signs: Hill has once again teamed with “21 Jump Street” screenwriter Michael Bacall on the script, and the directors are Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, fresh from another how’d-that-happen success d’estime, “The Lego Movie.”

This time out, Jenko and Schmidt are headed to college – a situation rife with the worn-out cliches of off-thehook ragers, offensively stereotyped students and hyper-sexualized co-eds.

With luck, Hill and Bacall will navigate those pitfalls as adroitly as they did before, and make “22 Jump Street” yet another fizzy, funny surprise – not a dog, but a welcome, winsome lark.
