Dale Schutt (from left to right), Courtney Borello and Nina Grembowicz stand outside the Will County Courthouse on Wednesday to protest a new sentencing hearing for James E. Walker. Walker was sentenced to life in prison for a 1984 murder when he was 17 years old.

Demonstrators want judge to stick with life sentence Murder happened 30 years ago By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Demonstrators outside the Will County Courthouse on Wednesday called for James E. Walker to stay behind bars. Inside the courthouse, Walker had a hearing on whether his life sentence for a murder committed 30 years ago should be reconsidered. Walker was not at the hearing. But about 15 of Walker’s family and supporters attended – and were matched by an equal number representing the victim, Charles Davis. Outside the courthouse, friends of the Davis family passed petitions and carried signs saying Walker should stay behind bars. “If my brother can’t get out of his coffin, [Walker] shouldn’t get out of his cell,” Ruth Seplak said. Walker, now 48, was 17 on March 16, 1984, when he and

Xavier D. Williams, then 16, called for a taxi. They told Davis, 29, they wanted to go to a basketball game in Joliet, but planned to rob him, according to reports. When Davis stopped in the 1200 block of Clark Street, Williams got out before Walker shot Davis in the head with a sawed-off shotgun he’d hidden under his coat. Walker was sentenced the following year to life in prison without parole. In 2012, mandatory life sentences for juveniles were ruled unconstitutional. “The problem with a mandatory sentence is it doesn’t take everything into account,” defense attorney Shobha Mahadev told Judge Robert Livas. “That’s what troubled the Supreme Court. Youth and its attendant features have some context.” Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Colleen Griffin said Walker’s original sentence was not mandatory, but discretionary. Grif-

fin told Livas if the motion for a new sentence is granted, the state plans to have retired Judge Herman Haase testify to support that. Livas said he would make a decision Aug. 26 and will review the cases Griffin and Mahadev cited in their arguments. Walker’s mother attended Wednesday’s proceedings, but declined to comment upon Mahadev’s advice. Outside the courthouse, Courtney Borello, a friend of the Davis family, urged people walking by to “keep the streets safe” and support Walker’s original sentence. Borello said almost 400 people had signed her petition in person or another one online. Dale Schutt, another Davis family supporter, held a sign urging Walker to “do [his] life sentence.” “[The crime] happened a month before he turned 18,” Schutt said. “He knew the difference between right and wrong. You blow somebody’s head off with a sawed-off shotgun. That’s just straight up cold-blooded.”

JOLIET – A new restaurant called Juliet’s is being planned in the former location of The Department, 205 N. Chicago St. Mayor Tom Giarrante confirmed Wednesday that Carmen Rossi, a Frankfort attorney and Chicago-area restaurateur, has applied for a liquor license for the business. “He has four restaurants in Chicago, so we’re really excited about working this out with him,” Giarrante said. Giarrante said he didn’t know if Rossi plans to renovate the building. “He hasn’t applied for any building permits yet,” Giarrante said. The Department closed in March. Rossi operates the Hubbard Inn, Barn & Company, Lincoln Avenue Social and the soon-toopen Pomp & Circumstance.

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Claire Radtke hopes to one day live independently. The Joliet resident, who has a developmental disability, doesn’t want to have to depend on her family for everything. Last year, Radtke, 38, was able to come one step closer to that goal by getting a job cleaning kitchens at Joliet Junior College with help from Cornerstone Services Inc. Working in the kitchen and being around friendly co-workers is something Radtke enjoys. “It builds up my self-esteem and I enjoy talking to other people that I come in contact with,” she said. The positive change in her life, as well as in others with developmental disabilities who work, is why Illinois advocates support the rights of people with cognitive or developmental disabilities to find employment. Advocates say there are misconceptions about the skills of people with developmental disabilities and it is important to correct those. A national employment services and outcome report from the Institute for Community Inclusion shows the number of people with cognitive disabilities in Illinois was 286,732 in 2012, and 64,628 of those people were employed. In 2008, 75,406 people with cognitive disabilities were employed.

Anthony Cornoyer places pitchers of ice water on the dining tables before dinner is served July 9 at Joliet Terrace. Cornoyer, 22, a dietary aide for Joliet Terrace, received help landing the position from Cornerstone Services Inc. The economic recession in 2009 is largely to blame for the decrease in employment, said Jennifer Kowalkowski, director of employment services for Cornerstone Services. Many companies had hiring freezes and tried to do more with fewer workers, Kowalski said. “There were so many people out of work that they could get more people with more skills into those jobs than people with cognitive disabilities,” she said. Recently, Kowalkowski has seen improvement in job opportunities for people with developmental disabilities. Among many programs offered by Cornerstone Services Inc., one is that it helps people with disabilities find work. About 143 people secured jobs from the agency this year, and about the same

number did last year. In 2009 and 2010, the agency found jobs for between 80 and 90 people each year. People with an intellectual or developmental disability are not able to compete as well as others in the job market, said Tony Paulauski, executive director of Frankfort-based Arc of Illinois, an advocacy organization for people with disabilities. But a law signed last year by Gov. Pat Quinn that makes employment for people with developmental disabilities a priority has been an important step in making sure they are able to find work, he said. The law requires all state agencies to work together to make competitive employment for people possible and establish measurable goals for the state. “Our identities are so closely tied to the work that

we do, and that’s no different for people with disabilities,” he said. Anthony Cornoyer, 22, of Shorewood, was driven to get a job he wanted, said Katherine Coke, his career counselor at Cornerstone Services. Cornoyer, who has a developmental disability, was able to find work as a dietary aide at the Joliet Terrace nursing center. “I just don’t like to be sitting in a house all day,” he said. Coke said finding a job for someone with a developmental disability depends on their attitude and if the job is suitable for their skills. As a career counselor, she helps clients like Cornoyer assess their skills and prepare for jobs. “The biggest benefit is if the clients get the job because they really want to be there,”

she said. It’s a benefit for employers, too. People with disabilities who work a job can find friendship, connection and sense of purpose. Companies in turn are able to get workers who can be reliable and a beneficial asset to them, Paulauski said. Paulauski said he sees a change in stereotypes about people with developmental disabilities, as does Margaret Harkness, program specialist with the Illinois Council on Developmental Disabilities. She said the change is coming from a more inclusive educational system. Harkness recalls one young woman with Down syndrome who was initially told she was unemployable. But with much support from her family and a job coach, she was able to work at a child care center and she’s now preparing to live on her own. “For someone who was initially at home and, ‘Oh, she’ll never work,’ she’s got a completely full life now,” Harkness said.

OUR IDENTITIES ARE SO CLOSELY TIED TO THE WORK THAT WE DO, AND THAT’S NO DIFFERENT FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES.” Tony Paulauski, executive director of Arc of Illinois, an advocacy organization for people with disabilities

ELWOOD

Bar owners plan to rebuild after fire By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – The owners of a downtown Elwood restaurant and bar that was damaged in a mid-morning fire say they plan to rebuild their business. Lori Thompson – who along with her sister, Sharon Thompson, and mother, Kay Thompson, run Thompson’s Bar & Grill, 115 E. Mississippi Ave. – said the family plans to remodel once they determine the extent of the damage. Witnesses reported seeing smoke wafting from the roof of the one-story wood and stone building about 10 a.m. Wednesday. “We saw some smoke coming out of the roof and while we called 911, it was just engulfed in flame,” said Matt Masood, manager of Sunshine Food, a market across the street from Thompson’s. “And then the smoke just billowed out in a big black cloud. ... It happened so quickly.”

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Firefighters work at the scene of a fire at Thompson’s Bar and Grill in Elwood on Wednesday. Firefighters from Elwood Fire Department – as well as fire units from Coal City, Morris, Minooka, Plainfield,

Wilmington, Troy, Lockport and East Joliet – battled the blaze for about 35 minutes before getting it under control,

Elwood Fire Chief Bill Offerman said. Offerman said firefighters also were concerned about

keeping the fire from spreading to nearby buildings to the east. Police closed off Mississippi Avenue, the village’s main street, for much of morning while firefighters were on the scene. No one was reported injured in the fire, and damage was restricted to the Thompson building. Lori Thompson said she believed the building’s shell was still intact, though the roof would need to be replaced. Firefighters still had the building cordoned off Wednesday morning, so she had not viewed the interior. The Thompsons have operated the business for the past 2½ years. Lori Thompson said she was driving to Loyola University Medical Center to visit her mother, who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, when her sister called her about the fire. “It’s been a terrible week,” she said.

‘No shortage of activities’ at speedway this weekend By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Race fans will have plenty of opportunities to get their NASCAR on at Chicagoland Speedway this weekend. The speedway will host Rally, Rock and Race Weekend on Friday and Saturday. The one-ticket admission will offer concerts, a classic car show and two races, among other activities. “Unlike a lot of stick and ball sports where you show up just before the game, our fans make a full-day commitment,” said Scott Paddock, Speedway president. “So there’s no shortage of activities that we offer to them.” New to the races this year is

Fan Zone Pit Pass which, along with an admission ticket, will allow fans to enter the garages at the speedway. “This is the first time we’ve ever been able to open up the garage area,” Paddock said. “It’s the No. 1 request that we receive from fans.” “The great thing that differentiates NASCAR from every other sport is the access that it provides,” Paddock said. “The pit pass is like having a sideline pass at Soldier Field for an NFL game.” Designated pathways and viewing areas will be available in both garages to allow fans “up-close and personal views while race teams continue their preparation for the day’s events,” Paddock said. Paddock said this is the

“The great thing that differentiates NASCAR from every other sport is the access that it provides. The pit pass is like having a sideline pass at Soldier Field for an NFL game.” Scott Paddock Chicagoland Speedway president first year that NASCAR has OK’d opening up the garages, and then only in its supporting series events. Paddock said he hopes garage access eventually will be granted for the Sprint Cup Series. Guests entering the garag-

es will receive a hot sheet with garage guide, a map of garage stalls and a detailed explanation of the NASCAR inspection process. The NASCAR Nationwide Series garage will be open Saturday from noon to 3 p.m., while the ARCA Racing Series garages will be open from noon to 1 p.m., and 3 to 4 p.m. Pit passes are $25. Weekend race admission starts at $30 for adults and $5 for children. Activities like the garage passes, car shows, concerts and other events have helped increase the fan base at both the speedway and Route 66 Raceway year over year, he said. Chicagoland Speedway also will be the site of a Saturday car show featuring both classic and custom vehicles. Fans and guests in atten-

dance will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite car on display. The five cars with the most votes will be featured at the Hollywood Casino Joliet Route 66 Classic on Aug. 16. The five winners receive two tickets to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Chicagoland Speedway on Sept. 14. Bob Barton of Orland Park won last year’s show with his “diamond black cherry” 1967 Mercury Cougar XR7GT. By sheer attendance, Barton said the speedway show dwarfs most other car shows. “You get 20,000 fans coming to a race anyway, so they’re car enthusiasts themselves,” Barton said. Asked whether he expects a repeat victory, Barton said “I don’t see why not.”

Joliet high school expulsion rate is falling, report says Shaw Media Correspondent

first time. The students and their parents meet with Thompson and community volunteers for at least four counseling sessions to “work off the expulsion warning.” Board member R. Dale Evans said the overall expulsion problem has been addressed by the program. However, Evans said he would like the district to work further with the community and the students’ families to find the root cause of this racial disparity. “I think what is quite glaring is the racial breakdown,” he told the board. Member Tyler Marcum recommended working with the grade school districts to come up with solutions to preempt the expulsion problem since the majority of students expelled are freshman. Students who are expelled by the school board are placed in Lincoln School, a Will County Regional Office of Education safe school. According to McCarthy, the school board follows up on the students to make sure they enroll and keep track of their progress.

JOLIET – The number of students expelled from Joliet high schools continues to decline, according to a report by the school district. The expulsion rate has dropped more than 70 percent since the 2007-08 school year, Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy told the school board Tuesday. While 105 students were expelled in 2007-08, that number dropped to 32 this past school year. Also, this is the first year the district has done a racial breakdown of expelled students in its report, in compliance with new state legislation approved earlier this year, McCarthy said. The new law requires schools that fall into the top 20 percent in terms of most expulsions and disciplinary actions over a three-year period “to submit a school improvement plan identifying the strategies the school district will implement to reduce the use of harsh disciplinary practices or racial disproportionality or both if

applicable,” according to the Illinois General Assembly website. In the 2013-14 school year, about 25 of the students expelled from Joliet high schools were African-American with Hispanic, white and multi-racial students making up the remaining seven, according to the report. The majority of all students expelled were male and freshmen. Also, assault, battery and fighting continue to be the leading reasons for expulsion. “We attribute the decline [in expulsions] to our district-wide classroom management plan, professional development for our staff, programs to motivate and engage students in their learning – our 1:1 programs and business/community Partnerships – and our Problem Solving Circle progress,” McCarthy said. The Restorative Practices Problem Solving Circles program was put in place about two years ago. The program, headed by Greg Thompson, a dean at Joliet West, is designed for students who have received an expulsion warning for the

Virginia Hamann, a dairy farmer from Peotone, speaks out against the Illiana Expressway project during an informational meeting Wednesday at Wilmington City Hall. Hamann is one of several individuals with farming operations, homes or businesses within the path of the proposed 47-mile tollway. can do so by getting their own appraisal done – but at their own expense, said Hansen, the city’s ombudsman. The state will pay fair market value for the properties, Cullian said. Peotone farmer Virginia Hamann, of the No Illiana 4 Us group, was among the residents worried they won’t get a fair deal on the properties. Hamann even went as far as to say residents should get commercial value for their

residential properties because that’s how the state intends to use their land. “IDOT’s not buying our 80-acre dairy farm to put another dairy farm on it. You’re buying it to put a commercial highway so we should be paid commercial value,” Hamann said. Others, including David Dodd, a general manager for Miken Transportation at Route 53 and New River Road, made the point that the high-

way would be a waste of taxpayers dollars because truckers won’t use the tolled road. Semitrailer drivers will find routes where tolls aren’t required, meaning traffic congestion seen along Peotone Road and Route 53 will continue as it is today, he said. “Why are we even talking about acquisition? We need to talk about why in the world are we building a [tollway] when the state has no money?” Dodd said. “No truck is going to take that [tollway] … Waste of money. Down the drain.” Private investment is expected to cover the cost of the project, but the public-private partnership is a concept several residents believe will fail, leaving taxpayers footing the bill. IDOT officials have said the investment would be paid back out of tolls, but the rate is still unknown. A private investment team should be selected to build and operate the highway by early 2015, but construction wouldn’t start until summer or fall of 2015. Landowners in the Illiana’s path who were unable to attend the meeting can contact the city’s ombudsman Mike Hansen at 815-744-9500, or mikehansen@mikehansenlaw.com.

Richland teachers union unhappy with board of education By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Richland School District 88a teachers union representatives read a letter during Wednesday’s board of education meeting that admonishes the board for not taking action following last month’s teachers’ vote of no confidence in top administrators. The letter written by IFT Local 604 President Richard Manley said, “The notion that the Board is willing to delay addressing the Vote of No Confidence, bringing students into a new school year as if nothing has happened is part of an insufficient and insulting

response to the teachers and community of Richland.” The vote of no confidence in Superintendent Michael Michael Early Early and Principal Kelly Whyte was presented to the board during a June 18 board meeting. The letter also states that the board immediately supported the administration after the vote of no confidence, and cited the board’s “moral obligation” to hear all sides and data to determine the best course of action for the district. “The Union has met with

the Board in an attempt to solve these issues many times previously. ... It’s now up to the board to fulfill its moral obligation to represent the interests of all the people served by this organization and take swift substantive action,” the letter stated. Union Vice President Steve Camp also said the union is dealing with three grievance cases involving teachers and the work climate that have recently been filed. He said another grievance is being filed on behalf of a teacher as soon as Thursday. Early said the board was unaware of the letter, and that teachers hadn’t brought any specific concerns to the board

regarding himself or Whyte. He acknowledged the grievances, which were regarding the teachers’ contracts, but said none had been filed specifically against any administrator. Early also acknowledged an email that was sent out by Board President Julie Starasinich saying that because of summer scheduling and the need to have everyone at the table, discussions will be held in early fall. “Tonight in public session was the first response that the union gave since that communication,” Early said. “That’s not soon enough,” Camp said. Camp said teachers have

repeatedly pleaded with the school board and administration about a hostile work environment over several years. They also said the administration made decisions that cut instructional time and hurt student achievement. Board President Julie Starasinich issued a statement at the June 18 meeting stating the board had full confidence in administration. Starasinich acknowledged there is a work climate issue and said the board has spent considerable time addressing it, but she said the board couldn’t act on any claims because teachers hadn’t gone through the formal grievance process in the past.

WILMINGTON – Residents whose properties cut right through the proposed Illiana Expressway vented their frustrations during an informational meeting Wednesday night at city hall in Wilmington. The $1.3 billion four-lane highway project appeared to be on the fast track to construction earlier this year, but has since been delayed amid concerns from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about the project’s potential impact on endangered species. In the meantime, residents’ lives are in limbo. About 275 to 300 properties stand in the pathway of the planned 47-mile tollway, which would connect Interstate 55 in Wilmington to I-65 near Lowell, Indiana, and help alleviate congested traffic on Interstate 80 and local roads. “You do understand why we’re crabby? You’re not dealing with our houses. You’re dealing with our homes,” said Jackie Danalewich, of Wilmington, whose home in the Foxtail Commons subdivision is adjacent to the planned Illiana route. Danalewich was among the roughly 70 residents who at-

tended the information meeting arranged by Will County Board member Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington, Wednesday evening. Two Illinois Department of Transportation land acquisition experts were in attendance to answer questions, along with Wilmington’s ombudsman, Mike Hansen, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, and state Rep. John Anthony, R-Morris. Federal approval is now expected in late summer or early fall, rather than the previously anticipated May, due to recently raised environmental concerns, state officials said, so appraisals have slowed considerably. Under state law, appraisals are only valid for six months, so the 30 completed appraisals will have to be updated once a record of decision has been made, said Michael Cullian, realty specialist with IDOT’s land acquisition bureau. Of the hundreds of properties in the pathway, 60 to 80 will require the total relocation of businesses, residences or farm operations, Cullian said. Once IDOT gets federal approval, the state agency will make formal offers via certified mail. Landowners who want to make a counter offer

Landerman files complaint against jail Hickory Street murder defendant wants bigger towels, better menu at facility By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A suspect awaiting trial in the Hickory Street slayings wants jail conditions improved. Adam M. Landerman, 21, has filed a court complaint against Warden Michael O’Leary and Operations Chief Brian Fink at the Will County Adult Detention Facility. Landerman said current conditions for inmates violate the state’s jail regulations. Landerman claims inmates are given hand-sized towels to use after showers instead of bath towels, the ventilation system is kept cold enough to cause “extreme discomfort and

sleep deprivation” and shaving cream is not provided free of charge, according to court filings. Adam M. The comLanderman plaint, which was filed in court last week, also said barber services are not made available to inmates, as required under state regulations. “The meals served to detainees at the WCADF are wholly and completely inadequate in quantity to satisfy grown male detainees, leaving them suffering from hunger pangs and leading to altercations with other detainees and rule

violations involving hoarding and storing food,” Landerman stated in his complaint. He also claims meals are not served at proper times and lack a diverse menu. Spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said Wednesday the Will County Sheriff’s office had no comment on a pending lawsuit. Landerman has been held in the jail on $10 million bond since his arrest on murder charges 18 months ago. On Jan. 10, 2013, Landerman, Joshua Miner, 26, Bethany McKee, 20, and Alisa Massaro, 20, allegedly lured Eric Glover and Terrance Rankins, both 22, to Massaro’s home in the 1100 block of North Hick-

ory Street with plans to rob them of drugs and money. Police said the suspects strangled the victims and planned to dismember their bodies to conceal the crime. All four were initially charged with murder. In May, Massaro pleaded guilty to robbery and concealing a homicide and was sentenced to 10 years in prison in exchange for testifying against the others. She is currently serving time in the Logan Correctional Center while McKee and Miner are in the county jail along with Landerman. The other three are awaiting trials; McKee was scheduled for a bench trial before Judge Gerald Kinney later

this month but that has been delayed. Landerman’s complaint also criticizes jail discipline policies and staff members. “The Inmate Handbook [rules] are entirely vague and ambiguous and therefore it is impossible for detainees to comprehend what the conduct constituting a penalty offense actually consists of,” Landerman states. “Detainees are routinely penalized for rule violations which are taken completely out of context or utilized to harass and intimidate detainees who file lawsuits and grievances.” Landerman’s complaint is scheduled to come before a judge Aug. 28.

Rockford man jailed in Body identified as child sexual abuse case Bolingbrook man By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 25-year-old Rockford man is being held on $2 million bond for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old girl he got to know on Facebook. Carl T. Schott, of the 2200 block of Canary Drive, was arrested Friday by Will County sheriff’s police on a charge of possession of child

pornography. While messaging online, Schott had the girl send him nude photos, according to Carl T. Schott court reports. Local investigators were assigned by the attorney general’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force because the victim lives in

Will County. Will County State’s Attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie said the victim was recently interviewed by detectives, who learned Schott had also had sexual encounters with her. Schott has subsequently been charged with two counts of predatory criminal sexual assault and three counts of aggravated criminal sexual abuse.

BOLINGBROOK – The man whose body was found Tuesday in a retention pond has been identified. Lt. Mike Rompa said Basilio Fuentes-Garcia, 43, of Bolingbrook, appears to have drowned accidentally. Rompa said alcohol was a contributing factor. Will County Chief Deputy

Coroner Bob Brenczewski said Fuentes-Garcia was identified Wednesday through fingerprint comparison. An autopsy has been performed. Toxicology reports are pending, but Fuentes-Garcia’s death does not appear to be the result of foul play. At 10:52 a.m. Tuesday a landscaping crew found Fuentes-Garcia floating face down in the pond in the 300 block of Woodcreek Drive.

OBITUARIES Born: Sept. 14, 1944; in Joliet, IL Died: July 14, 2014; in New Lenox, IL William R. “Bill” Ferguson, 69, of Wilmington, IL. passed away on Monday, July 14, 2014, at Silver Cross Hospital. He was born on September 14, 1944, in Joliet, IL. He is survived by his wife Kathie Ferguson; two children Mark (Paula) Ferguson of Joliet, and Joe (girlfriend Eileen O’Donnell) Ferguson of Joliet; a granddaughter Madalyn Ferguson; his mother Stephanie Ferguson; two sisters Patti Chizmark and Debbie (Mike) Decman; sister in law Penny McCauley; brother in law Bill (Lois) Smith, and numerous nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by his father, William James Ferguson; and mother and father-in-law William and Helen Smith. Bill led a very full and rewarding life. He was a devoted father and a loving husband. He had many interests, but always enjoyed working. He needed to feel that he accomplished something every day. He enjoyed his pontoon boat on the Kankakee River and especially the fourth of July boat parade. Every year in the month of May, he enjoyed the whole family going to Lake Barkley in Kentucky for a fishing trip. He snowmobiled for many years in the winter and enjoyed his vegetable garden in the summer. He was a Chicago White Sox fan but followed the Cubs too so he could joke with his son Joe, who is a Cubs fan. He and his son, Mark, were avid Bears fans and never missed watching a game.

DOROTHY A. GOULDING Born: Dec. 20, 1930; in Rock Island Died: July 11, 2014; in Jackson, TN Dorothy A. (Francisco) Goulding, born December 20, 1930 in Rock Island, Illinois to the late Lutie Angelo and Laura Aretta Francisco, passed away July 11, 2014 in Jackson, Tennessee. Dorothy was born, raised and educated in Rock Island. She worked for the Rock Island Arsenal and the United States Army where she always rose to the top of her field. She then married Robert D. Goulding in June of 1951, and supported his career as it went from Indianapolis, Indiana; Green Bay, Wisconsin; Blue Island, Illinois; Peoria, Illinois and finally to the Lockport/Joliet area. Dorothy retired from the Will County Health Department in 1998, but still continued to work part time and give her time as a Stephen Minister for the First Congregational United Church of Christ in Lockport, until moving to Tennessee after Robert’s death. Her accomplishments were many, but her accolades were few, because she was a quiet, humble woman who never “tooted her own horn”. She had a wide range of interests, and loved to read. After a stroke some years back, when her vision was compromised, she worked tirelessly until she was able to read again. She was a woman of quiet dignity, and always was the personification of the word, “lady”. But above all else, she loved her family unconditionally. She will be greatly missed. Dorothy was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Robert (2000); brother in law, Ray Watson; and sisters in law, Delores Goulding and Beverly Francisco. Survived by her brother, John Francisco of Rock Island, IL; daughters, Karen (George) Hagey of Channahon, Kathy and Kimberly Goulding of Paris, TN; grandsons,

Richard “Chip” Rosenthal of Iowa, Christopher (Angela) Goulding of Hoffman Estates, IL, Daniel Nagel (fiance’ Rebecca Stephenson-Wehrle) of Channahon, IL and Brian (Heather) Nagel of Minooka, IL; great-grandson, Zachary Goulding of Hoffman Estates, IL; sister-in-law, Ruth Watson; and brother-in-law, Arthur Goulding, both of Wilmington, IL. A host of nieces and nephews also survive. According to Dorothy’s wishes, cremation rites have been accorded and she will be laid to rest with Robert, at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery, on August 7, 2014 at 1:00 p.m.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON – James MacGregor Burns, a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and political scientist who analyzed the nature of presidential leadership and wrote candid biographies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, died Tuesday at 95. Burns died at his home in Williamstown, Massachusetts, his companion and fellow historian Susan Dunn said. The longtime Williams College professor helped coin two adjectives now common in politics: “transformational” leaders, or those with a vision to change the world, and “transactional” leaders, those with the cunning to get things done. The words were used constantly during the 2008 presidential race, with the “transactional” Hillary Rodham Clinton battling the “transformational” Barack Obama for the Democratic nomination. Burns was a liberal Democrat who both wrote about and participated in the political process. He was a convention delegate, congressional aide and congressional candidate who in the late 1950s became friendly enough with Sen. John F. Kennedy to be granted access for a 1960 biography that angered the family by portraying him as a man of excessive calculation and questionable heart. His two-volume biography of Roosevelt was praised by historians as a model of accessible, objective scholarship. The second volume, “Roosevelt: Soldier of Freedom,” was published in 1970 and won the Pulitzer and the National Book Award. Burns’ other books included “Leadership,” a 1978 release that outlined his theories of “transformational” and “transactional” and became standard reading among students of business and politics; a biography of George Washington written with Dunn; and a trilogy on U.S. history, “The American Experiment.”

Blagojevich files new argument in appeal

CHICAGO – Rod Blagojevich’s lawyers have submitted an additional argument on why an appeals court in Chicago should overturn the convictions of the imprisoned former governor. Jurors convicted the Democrat on multiple corruption counts, including that he tried to swap an appointment to President Barack Obama’s old Senate seat for campaign money or a job. Wednesday’s two-page filing with the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals referred to an April Supreme Court decision striking down laws that restrict aggregate limits on campaign contributions. Defense lawyers said that ruling also indicated the solicitation of contributions was corruption only when a politician gave a clear promise to take some official action in exchange for the donation. They said Blagojevich never made such promises. Prosecutors are expected to file a response in the coming days.

CHICAGO – Illinois Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner is getting a boost from New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. Christie is expected to appear at a July 25 downtown Chicago fundraiser with Rauner and his lieutenant governor running mate, Evelyn Sanguinetti. That’s according to Rauner campaign emails sent to supporters on Tuesday. VIP tickets including photos are $1,500 each. Reception tickets for individuals are $500. Rauner is trying to unseat Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in what’s expected to be one of the most

Woman pleads guilty in Waukegan torture-slaying

WAUKEGAN – A 24-year-old Waukegan woman has pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for her part in the slaying of a man she mistakenly believed sexually assaulted her. Nadia Palacios entered the plea Tuesday in Lake County Circuit Court. She faces up to 60 years in prison in the 2011 killing in a Waukegan body shop. She’s the fourth person either convicted or pleading guilty in the death of 27-year-old David Camp-

bell. Authorities say Campbell was tortured with a blowtorch and a hammer before he was killed by the group after he was accused of assaulting Palacios. Police said the attackers may have mistaken Campbell for someone else. They’re still looking for a fifth suspect believed to be involved in the slaying. Palacios is due in court for sentencing Aug. 21.

Microsoft to buy Illinois wind power for 20 years

CHICAGO – Microsoft Corp. said it has agreed to buy electricity from a new wind farm in Illinois for the next 20 years in an effort to reduce its carbon footprint. The company’s chief environmental strategist, Rob Bernard,

made the announcement Tuesday. The 175-megawatt Pilot Hill Wind Project is being built on the Kankakee and Iroquois county line, about 60 miles from Chicago. EDF Renewable Energy, a subsidiary of a French utility, owns 96 percent of the project. The project will produce enough electricity to power 70,000 homes, and should be online next year Bernard said electricity will be delivered to the same grid that powers Microsoft’s Chicago data center, and is its largest wind investment.

Man accused in shooting death arraigned

EDWARDSVILLE – A man who

escaped custody in Colorado as a defendant in an Illinois killing said he plans to represent himself in court. The Alton Telegraph reported that 37-year-old Turhan Robinson made his first court appearance Tuesday in Madison County. That’s where the St. Louis man is charged along with a 30-yearold man from Jennings, Missouri, with first-degree murder, attempted murder and armed robbery. Investigators allege the men shot 43-year-old Kenneth Deal of Venice on May 19 while trying to steal marijuana from him. The attempted murder count relates to a shot fired from the suspects’ car at a Madison police officer during an ensuing chase.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Democrats seek gains in birth control loss WASHINGTON – Senate Democrats suffered what looked like a difficult setback on birth control Wednesday, but they hope it pays big political dividends in November. Republicans blocked a bill that was designed to override a Supreme Court ruling and ensure access to contraception for women who get their health insurance from companies with religious objections. The vote was 56-43 to move ahead on the legislation – dubbed the “Not My Boss’ Business Act” by proponents – four short of the 60 necessary to proceed. But Democrats hope the issue has enough life to energize female voters in the fall, when Republicans are threatening to take control of the Senate. GOP senators said Wednesday’s vote was simply a stunt, political messaging designed to boost vulnerable Democratic incumbents. The GOP needs to gain six seats to seize control. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said the Republicans were the ones “out of touch with reality.” He promised that Democrats would continue to press the issue.

Man charged in N.D. with masquerading as FBI agent WILLISTON, N.D. – A convicted con man who swindled Nashville, Tennessee, businesses out of five-star hotel rooms, stretch

limousine rides, helicopter rentals and expensive gifts didn’t fare quite as well during a month in the North Dakota oil patch, investigators contend. Steven Goldmann’s attempt to pass himself off as an FBI agent netted him free coffee, a government rate at a budget hotel and dog treats for his bogus K-9 unit, according to court documents released last week. Goldmann, 26, has pleaded not guilty to four counts of impersonating an officer and two counts of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Missouri executes man accused of killing 3 people BONNE TERRE, Mo. – A former methamphetamine dealer was executed Wednesday for killing three people in northern Missouri out of fear that they would report his drug activity to police. John Middleton, 54, died Wednesday night from an injection of pentobarbital, the sixth execution in Missouri this year. Only Florida and Texas, with seven each, have performed more executions. Middleton was convicted of killing Randy “Happy” Hamilton and Stacey Hodge in early June 1995, then Alfred Pinegar several days later. He maintained to the end that someone else was responsible for the slayings. “You are killing an innocent man,” Middleton said in his final statement.

Gov. Quinn facing ongoing investigation By SARA BURNETT The Associated Press CHICAGO – Democratic Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn, locked into a competitive re-election bid, is fighting to maintain an image as a reformer who’s cleaned up state government as questions about a now-defunct anti-violence program he started in the run-up to his 2010 election threaten to hang over his campaign for months. On Wednesday, a bipartisan commission of lawmakers agreed to grant federal prosecutors’ request to wait to call a number of former Quinn administration officials they subpoenaed to testify about the program, which a state audit recently concluded had “pervasive” problems, including misuse of funds. But Democrats rejected Republicans’ push to schedule that testimony for October – just weeks before the Nov. 4 election. Lawmakers recessed until Thursday without a plan on how to proceed. Federal prosecutors had asked lawmakers to hold off on calling the officials for 90 days to avoid any conflicts with their criminal investigation. Republicans, who see the gubernatorial election this year as a chance to win control of a Democratic-leaning state, have alleged Quinn used money from the $55 million Neighborhood Recovery Initiative as a political slush fund to secure votes in predominantly minority neighborhoods of heavily Democratic Chicago in a tight race. Quinn has denied that claim and says he has “zero tolerance” for fraud or abuse. He’s also defended the intent of the program, which provided mentorship, job training, counseling and other help for ex-convicts in

Illinois State Sen. Jim Oberweis, R-North Aurora, speaks Wednesday during a meeting of the Legislative Audit Commission in Chicago. Chicago’s violence-plagued neighborhoods. Regardless of whether there was any wrongdoing, the allegations alone could be damaging for Quinn, who often touts the steps he’s taken to turn Illinois around after the last two governors went to prison for corruption. His GOP rival, Bruce Rauner, meanwhile, has worked to paint Quinn as just another insider. “The one thing [Quinn] does have and always has had is a reputation for integrity,” said Chris Mooney, a political studies professor at the University of Illinois at Springfield. The Legislative Audit Commission oversees state audits and must approve one that concluded that the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative was hastily put together, poorly managed and that some funds never went to violence prevention efforts. Quinn has said he shut down the program in 2012 when concerns about possible misspending arose. Quinn’s office also says it has instructed all state agencies to support any law enforcement inquiries. Senate Republican spokeswoman Patty Schuh says Quinn’s

office provided members of the Legislative Audit Commission about 2,000 emails linked to the program. Six witnesses who’d been asked to appear told the commission through their attorneys that they wouldn’t do so, in deference to prosecutors’ request. A seventh appeared but said he’s “not ready” to testify. Quinn, who was traveling to Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, signed a new law that strengthen rules for how the state awards and oversees grants. “What happened with the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative program was unacceptable and should never happen at any state agency,” he said in a statement. “When I learned of these issues, I took responsibility by defunding the program and shutting it down, and today I am instituting the strongest reforms in the nation.” Prosecutors have given lawmakers the green light to collect documents from witnesses. Six witnesses indicated they would turn over any relevant communications by Thursday if they have any. Former senior adviser Billy Ocasio said he didn’t have any such documents.

By ANDREW TAYLOR The Associated Press

The Associated Press WASHINGTON – You’ve probably decided who gets the house or that family heirloom up in the attic when you die. But what about your email account and all those photos stored online? Grieving relatives might want access for sentimental reasons, or to settle financial issues. But do you want your mom reading your exchanges on an online dating profile or a spouse going through every email? The Uniform Law Commission, whose members are appointed by state governments to help standardize state laws, on Wednesday endorsed a plan that would give loved ones access to – but not control of – the deceased’s digital accounts, unless specified otherwise

in a will. To become law in a state, the legislation would have to be adopted by the legislature. If it did, a person’s online life could become as much a part of estate planning as deciding what to do with physical possessions. “This is something most people don’t think of until they are faced with it. They have no idea what is about to be lost,” said Karen Williams of Beaverton, Oregon, who sued Facebook for access to her 22-year-old son Loren’s account after he died in a 2005 motorcycle accident. The question of what to do with one’s “digital assets” is as big as America’s electronic footprint. A person’s online musings, photos and videos – such as a popular cooking blog or a gaming avatar that has acquired a certain status online – can be worth considerable value to

an estate. Imagine the trove of digital files for someone of historical or popular note – say former President Bill Clinton or musician Bob Dylan – and what those files might fetch on an auction block. “Our email accounts are our filing cabinets these days,” said Suzanne Brown Walsh, a Cummings & Lockwood attorney who chaired the drafting committee on the proposed legislation. But “if you need access to an email account, in most states you wouldn’t get it.” But privacy activists are skeptical of the proposal. Ginger McCall, associate director of the Electronic Privacy Information Center in Washington, said a judge’s approval should be needed for access, to protect the privacy of both the owners of accounts and the people who communicate with them.

Number of people with HIV unchanged since ’12 By MARIA CHENG The Associated Press LONDON – The number of people living with HIV worldwide has remained virtually unchanged in the past two years and AIDS-related deaths are at their lowest since peaking almost a decade ago, according to a report from the United Nations AIDS agency released Wednesday. Officials declared that ending the AIDS epidemic is possible even though they acknowledged the number of new infections – more than 2 million last year – was still very high. UNAIDS estimated there were about 35 million people living with HIV last year and in 2012. The agency also set targets to reduce deaths and new cases by 90 percent by 2030. It previously unveiled a strategy to get to “zero AIDS-related deaths,” which included ensuring all people who need treatment are on it by 2015. Last year, there were about 12.9 million people receiving life-saving drugs and 22 million people still waiting. Some 1.5 million people died from AIDS-related causes. Other health experts questioned whether setting more ambitious targets is wise.

A newly-diagnosed HIV-positive woman, who arrived at the hospital with symptoms of tuberculosis, receives treatment Feb. 27 at the Mildmay Uganda clinic in Kampala, Uganda. “This idea of ending AIDS isn’t realistic,” said Sophie Harman, a senior lecturer in public health at Queen Mary University of London, who was not part of the report. She said it would be more helpful to think about managing the epidemic. “Everyone can get behind ending AIDS, but this report doesn’t really tell us how to do that.” Still, UNAIDS insisted in its report that we are at the “beginning of the end of the AIDS epidemic” and said the global outbreak can be stopped by 2030. But with no vaccine and

millions of people carrying the virus or becoming newly infected, some scientists said ending HIV may be idealistic rather than practical. “We’ve made progress, but the number of people getting infected is still extraordinarily high,” said Shabbar Jaffar, a professor of epidemiology at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. He said that scaling up treatment further, especially in Africa, where about 70 percent of people with HIV live, would be very difficult. “They are already working beyond capacity at the moment.”

WASHINGTON – If there’s anything that can unite Democrats and Republicans in the partisan swamp of Capitol Hill, it’s free money. The latest example of free money in Washington is a retread proposal called “pension smoothing” that raises money but doesn’t increase anyone’s taxes. To some people’s way of thinking, that’s a win-win situation. But others say lose-lose is more like it, arguing that it’s budget fakery at its worst and that it could undermine pension security for millions of workers. Lawmakers reprised the pension provision Tuesday to help find money for a government fund that finances highway construction projects, with both Democrats and Republicans getting into the act. The highway bill passed by a sweeping 367-55 vote. Here’s how it works: The pension measure would allow companies to reduce the amount that they contribute to their pension funds now and make up for it later. Since pension contributions are tax deductible, companies would owe more tax revenue in the next few years as more of their earnings are taxed. But in the later years, they would be able to claim higher deductions from larger contributions to their pension funds. Over time, the pension measure doesn’t raise revenue. But over the next 10 years – the time frame used to estimate the cost of legislation – it does. This has budget experts crying foul. Just as using the pension changes as a painless budget “offset” is backed by both liberals and conservatives, think tanks from the left, right and political middle all oppose it as a gimmick. And they warn it could cost taxpayers in the long run because taxpayers could be on the hook if an insured pension plan can’t meet its obligations and has to turn to the government’s Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. for

help. “It pretends to raise revenue. It doesn’t. It’ll lose as much money, plus interest, in the future as it gains in the short term,” says Len Burman, director of the Tax Policy Center, a joint project of the left-of-center Brookings Institution and Urban Institute. “And it undermines the pension security of American workers. Aside from that, it’s a great idea. It’s outrageous.” A plan by Rep. Dave Camp, R-Mich., chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, would raise almost $19 billion over the next six years by extending for another five years a pension smoothing plan enacted to help pay for the 2012 highway bill. But over the final four years of the budget window, roughly two-thirds of that revenue gain is taken back as companies take higher tax deductions from larger pension contributions in the longer term. So the 10-year revenue gain is $6.4 billion, though it’ll continue to cost revenues after 2024. The Senate’s version raises less short-term cash, with a three-year extension of the tactic. Critics shouldn’t take heart: The Senate is saving the other two years to “pay for” other must-do legislation such as Forest Service payments to rural schools, underfunded coal miner pensions, and a trust fund for reclamation of abandoned mines. Some companies argue that they again need relief from the current pension funding formula, which requires higher contributions when interest rates are low, as they are now. And they say the cash freed up by lower pension contributions in the short term would boost investment and therefore the economy. “It seems like a win-win. Congress gets extra revenue that they can then use ... to say, ‘Oh, we’re paying for this additional highway spending.’ And they also get to claim they’re helping out these companies,” said Romina Boccia, a senior policy analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation.

Online afterlife: It’s complicated

Nowhere to go for Gaza Urban warfare feared in Ukraine fighting civilians urged to leave By PETER LEONARD The Associated Press

The ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – The text message was as urgent as it was unwelcome: The Israeli army advised Mouin Ghaffir to leave his home quickly or risk being killed in airstrikes against Hamas rocket squads. He swiftly sent his wife and 11 children to a dirty U.N. emergency shelter, with more than 40 people crammed in each classroom, but had to endure a night under bombardment at home after failing to find a safe place for his ailing 75-year-old mother. Such is the life-and-death predicament of tens of thousands of Gazans being told by Israel to flee targeted areas, most with nowhere to go. U.N. shelters lack the space, and relatives, with their own overcrowded homes, often cannot help. Israel says urging residents to evacuate – with warnings delivered through automated calls, text messages and leaflets dropped from planes – is part of the military’s attempt to spare civilians whenever possible. It holds Hamas responsible for the ordeal of Gaza’s 1.7 million people, saying Hamas fighters fire rockets toward Israel from residential areas, effectively using civilians as human shields. However, rights groups say simply sending warnings does not absolve Israel of responsibility and that those being urged to evacuate need somewhere to go. In Ghaffir’s case, there was no way he could move his mother, Fawziyeh, after receiving the army’s text message late Tuesday. The

elderly woman, afflicted by diabetes, high blood pressure and incontinence, needs constant care, he said. Conditions were chaotic in the U.N. girls’ school in a safer area where his wife, Mona, and their 11 children immediately sought refuge. But it was no place for his mother. Instead, he moved her into the living room of the family’s home in the Shijaiyah neighborhood in eastern Gaza City, one of three areas Israel said it would target. Mother and son kept low to the ground, away from the windows. “I didn’t sleep the entire night from the sound of the bombings,” said 48-year-old Ghaffir. “The walls were shaking and there was a crack in the wall.” He said the blasts shattered several windows in the house. On Wednesday morning, Ghaffir moved his mother to his sister Leila’s apartment in an area deemed somewhat safer. But Leila, 65, had no room for the rest of his family, he said, noting that she lives in a one-bedroom apartment with her husband and four other family members. After getting his mother out of Shijaiyah, where airstrikes continued Wednesday, Ghaffir joined his wife and children at the U.N. school. The classroom where his family slept the night before on a bare floor was filled with noisy children, but Ghaffir said he preferred the crowded conditions to being at home. “Here, we are surrounded by people,” he said. “We get the feeling we are all together.” Ghaffir’s story highlights the hard choices Gazans face in this war.

KIEV, Ukraine – Insurgents bade tearful farewells Wednesday as they loaded their families onto Russia-bound buses and began hunkering down for what could be the next phase in Ukraine’s conflict: bloody urban warfare. While the pro-Russian rebels in the east have lost much ground in recent weeks and were driven from their stronghold of Slovyansk, many have regrouped in Donetsk, an industrial city that had a population of 1 million before tens of thousands of civilians started fleeing for fear of a government siege. The rebels also hold the city of Luhansk, where they are said to be taking up positions in residential and industrial zones while lobbing artillery at government troops. Despite the government’s desire to minimize civilian casualties, Ukraine’s forces could find themselves

Russia, which is accused of fomenting the unrest by supplying the separatists with fighters and heavy weapons – an allegation Moscow denies. The U.S. slapped restrictions on Russian weapons manufacturers, energy companies and banks, while the EU moved to stop new European financing agreements with Moscow. At the same time, the Pentagon warned that Russia is building up its forces along the Ukraine border again, with 12,000 troops massed there, reflecting a steady increase in recent weeks. If Ukrainian forces take the fight into the heart of rebel-held cities, it will be a type of combat for which they are not believed to be adequately prepared. “It’s a very complicated strategic task – not only when it comes to tactics, also in terms of equipment. When rebels are putting missile launchers on school rooftops, what do you do?” said Orysia Lutsevych, a research fellow at Chatham House in London.

He refrained from specifying how. Insurgents in Donetsk appeared be bracing for a bitter fight as they shipped their relatives out of the city. One fighter, who declined to give his name, told The Associated Press that not having his wife and young daughter with him would free him to concentrate on the battles ahead. “It is easier for us this way.

ANOTHER VIEW

Post-disaster air could make a big difference Natural disasters are all too common in these parts. The most frequent occurrence is floods (while more common, blizzards rarely rise to the level of disaster), although this is the time of year to recall the tornadoes that forever changed certain communities. As common as the actual disasters are the stories of the aftermath, of the people who come together as a community to support the people and buildings affected, to rebuild and restore, to forge a new normal. But esprit de corps is not always sufficient. Efforts like building a new Central Intermediate School in Ottawa required gobs and gobs of money. The school is a public concern, however. Private issues are another matter. Gov. Pat Quinn was in tornado-ravaged Washington, Ill., last week to sign legislation he and lawmakers hope will make it easier for business owners to recover from the lingering effects of floods, tornadoes and the like. The new law, according to the Illinois News Network, will allow businesses destroyed by natural disasters to rebuild and pay the property tax rate as assessed the fiscal year of the destruction. This tax abatement is billed as a rebuilding incentive for businesses that otherwise would find property taxes on new commercial and industrial facilities cost prohibitive. The property tax rate for rebuilding businesses would be levied at the same rate as before the disaster, and would increase steadily up to current assessment rates over the course of 15 years. It’s a rare good idea from

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

the folks in Springfield, certainly related to the fact it’s a rare example of bipartisan cooperation. There actually are three new laws. In addition to the tax abatement, one creates a direct paycheck-to-American Red Cross giving website for state employees who voluntarily decide to donate to specific chapters of the Red Cross in the wake of a natural disaster, and one that caps the percentage insurance adjusters can charge as fees for post-disaster property assessments. The centerpiece, clearly, is the tax policy, which is a solid strategy. With property tax assessments already in place and a payment schedule that doesn’t offer breaks for hard-luck cases, it’s easy to see how a proprietor might be forced to choose between paying taxes he or she can’t afford or just abandoning ship altogether. Generally that affects not just the business owner, but also their customers and employees. If the state can give a break in these situations, it most certainly should. After all, the property stopped being worth its assessed value the second the storm came through. The 15-year window seems sensible to allow businesses to rebuild, and if it proves too long or too short, lawmakers can go back and tweak the plan. This is a good move for Illinois. It’s too late to help local businesses that have survived recent disasters, but history shows there’s a good chance proprietors in this region will need the aid at some point. Kudos to lawmakers and the governor for putting this one on the books.

Heart of darkness in the buffer zone BOSTON – “Be careful. This is a dangerous corner.” It’s not until you visit the Boston Planned Parenthood clinic at the heart of the recent Supreme Court buffer-zone case that you realize the unnecessary danger it created. And I’m not even inside. On this particular weekday morning, Mary gives me the heads up, as she does anyone walking by. Along with her practical advice, she will offer people walking into the clinic a pamphlet, rosary or a simple rose. Eleanor McCullen stands in white and black this summer day, the sun blazing down, gently encouraging the youth group that has come this morning to simply pray – and also, later on, hand out roses. One young man’s Spanish came in handy as a

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez distraught Latino father needed a prayer and a friend. The members of this youth group are here to save lives, through prayer, counsel and willingness to walk with scared mothers and fathers – to show that it’s not too late. McCullen stands just a few feet outside of the door of the clinic. She will be the first sight for many women leaving the clinic, presumably after having gone through with an abortion. McCullen’s presence and what she represents – along with a card bearing her phone number – may just be a great help during the dark moments

to come when the implications of that fateful choice gnaws at such women’s hearts and lives. Reading some of the commentary from critics of the Supreme Court’s decision in the Massachusetts buffer-zone case, it’s become quite the convention to believe that somehow McCullen “snowed” the justices into a unanimous ruling. Anyone who believes that should come here, stand on Commonwealth Avenue for a few hours and watch and learn. Just hours before, a coalition of left-wing groups protesting the buffer-zone decision, as well as the Hobby Lobby health-care ruling, organized a rally and protest at Boston City Hall.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PROCEDURE AT ST. JOE’S SAVED MY LIFE To the Editor: I would be honored bringing to your excellent Herald-News readers a recent very, very positive overall experience that literally saved my life! I went through a very critically urgent open heart surgery (aortic valve replacement) at Presence St. Joseph Medical Center on May 7. My cardiovascular surgeon, Dr. James Tuchek, brilliantly replaced this critically damaged valve that ultimately saved my life. The follow up cardiac care (ICU-4th floor team), specifically proactively conducted by my cardiologist Dr. Ramadurai and the incredibly dedicated ICU (cardiac unit) nursing/cna staff was simply outstanding in all regards! My cardiac rehab has clearly reached this same high level of excellence and professionalism. We are truly blessed, having such a dedicated, professional and highly skilled team of cardiovascular surgeons, physicians and nursing/cna staff members that improve the quality of life for thousands of patients in our Joliet area community on a daily basis. Very sincerely, David R. Marco P.S. I definitely would not be here if it was not for this wonderful group of cardiovascular pros at St. Joe’s

SMALL GESTURES MEAN A LOT To the Editor: On June 29, it was my birthday. I decided to go to the Bolingbrook picnic, which I have done many times in years past. I picked up my best friend, Carmen, to attend with me. I had to park close to the area, as Carmen has to walk slowly. We proceeded to the senior tent. As always, Lynn, Bill, Maureen and others (I am sure I missed some names), were attentive and gracious to us all. We enjoyed KFC, goodie bag (much in there) and a free umbrella. When we finished, we decided to play some bingo. When it was over, Carmen needed to use the restroom. We proceeded outside the tent, and Carmen spotted a

She went up to him and asked: “Sir, would you please take us in your cart to the nearest washroom?” He said absolutely, “yes.” When he turned around, it was Roger Claar, the mayor of Bolingbrook. Carmen did not know him. Along the ride, many people stopped and shook his hand. Carmen still is amazed at this caring gesture. When we arrived, he took Carmen and showed her the direction she needed to go. When we came out, he waited and helped us on our way. Carmen and I thanked him. I told him that his village is our sister. My church and many friends live in Bolingbrook. I am writing this to convey how important a small and kind gesture can make from a prominent person.

• LOPEZ Continued from page 21 The general argument was that women’s freedom was being infringed upon. The attorney general who has lost her case defending the buffer zone vowed to undo the damage. The governor promised to protect women outside abortion clinics. Even with the buffer zone eliminated now, some of the praying still happens at a slight remove from the doors of the clinic. But you see the difference that a few feet make when a post-abortion brochure and McCullen’s number are gratefully taken as a woman exits the clinic. Something has happened here, and you see it in

the eyes and the very bodies of couples and friends who walk out together. If you didn’t know it was an abortion clinic, you would see on their faces the trauma that such an intimate violence has inflicted. One woman reaches for her iPod as if to drown everything out. What the rally at City Hall and so many protesting the Supreme Court decision seem to be missing is the humanity at the center of this debate. It’s convenient to ignore the lives at stake. But as lives end, those that go on are so often lived alone, mourning, without support or even acknowledgment. People like McCullen, groups like Rachel’s Vineyard and Lumina and other post-abortion ministries and

the work and testimonies of women like Anne Lastman, author of “Redeeming Grief,” exist to let women and men know they are not alone. Not as they are going into a clinic, often thinking they have no other choice, and not after they leave, either, having made that most grave decision. That’s not the stuff of political protests, but humanity. The danger isn’t McCullen and the crowd outside the clinic. The danger lies in ignoring their witness. It’s ignoring the people both going in and coming out.

PREP FOOTBALL

Linemen show off at Bolingbrook Challenge By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – A lot of summer football is focused on the 7-on-7 competitions, but they don’t involve many of a team’s key performers, their linemen. Instead, that group of athletes takes center stage in lineman challenges, with one of the staples of the summer calendar being Bolingbrook’s longtime event. Thirty-five years after starting the Raider Lineman Challenge along with Lockport’s Bill Zimmer, former Bolingbrook coach Phil Acton continues to run the competition, which took place on Wednesday and featured 43 five-man teams representing 28 schools. Lemont, Lockport, Morris, Plainfield Central and Romeoville joined the hosts in this year’s event, which featured a bench press, 40-yard dash, medicine ball, obstacle course, shuttle relay, sled drive and tug of war. Only two of those six programs made the playoffs last year and just the Raiders finished with a winning record, so the focus for all is on improving upon last season’s records. And one group that is critically important to help make that happen are the linemen, who appear to be pretty optimistic about their chances as opening day approaches. Lockport finished the challenge on a high note after its team of Justin Anspach, Matt Chmielewski, Jake Di Vita, Quinn Pulaski and Carl Strom won the tug of war title. Chmielewski, a junior left guard whose father Brian played on a pair of outstanding Lockport basketball teams from 1978-80, is upbeat about the Porters’ prospects of challenging for a playoff spot under their new coach, Dan Starkey. “Everyone’s excited about this season,” Chmielewski said. “ ‘Bring it Back’ is the motto for our team. We’ve got a new offense and new defense, and it’s coming together a little bit. There’s a lot of potential, but everyone has to be in on it. “We have two kids who started last year, me and Chris

Murino, who’ll be playing at center. And we have two seniors who played a little last year and another big guys who’s a junior. We’ve got one starter back on the D-line, plus some big boys over there, too.” Another program that hopes to get back to the postseason this year is Lemont, where Bret Kooi takes over for Eric Michaelsen. Senior guard

Nathan Palermo believes that the Indians should be able to return to their winning ways this season. “We have a lot of seniors who are coming back and we have a lot of young guys and they have talent,” Palermo said. “I like what I’ve seen from our line. We’re learning new things quickly and I think that we should have a good season.

“I like the Challenge since you get to see how you match up with other people and it was cool seeing all of the other teams that were here. We had three teams, so that was a pretty good turnout.” After failing to collect a win in 2013, Plainfield Central intends to bounce back this year. Senior right guard Zack Zolnierowicz likes what he’s seen

thus far from the Wildcats. “We have a solid group this year,” Zolnierowicz said. “We have a couple of returning seniors and we have some sophomores who are pretty promising. I think that we’re going to do really good on the line since we’ve been working real hard in the offseason. “This is a fun competition and it’s good to see some of these teams before we actually see them on the field. It’s good to compete like this before the season.” While Romeoville advanced to the postseason last season, it dropped its playoff opener and finished with a .500 record. Senior defensive end Evan Stingily believes that the Spartans have a good shot at their first consecutive playoff berths in over a decade. “We lost a lot of guys on defense so we have a lot of young guys, but they’re stepping up,” Stingily said. “We’re going to try to build on what we did last year. We got knocked out in the first round so we want to go farther. We’re real optimistic about this season.”

PHIL LAWLER CLASSIC: JOLIET CATHOLIC 4, PLAINFIELD SOUTH 0

Joliet Catholic Academy’s Dan Belling pitches Wednesday against Plainfield South at the Lockport Regional Baseball at Ed Flink Field in Lockport. JCA won, 4-0. we weren’t in the right mindset,” South coach Phil Bodine said. “We could have done stuff against what I thought were handle-able pitchers and we didn’t do it. We weren’t aggressive enough.” Instead, Dalesandro may pitch Thursday night’s regional final against Sandburg,

who defeated Lockport on Wednesday night. It depends on his body. He was hit and bruised by a couple of foul balls when he caught Drake Fellows in Monday’s 1-0 shutout of Lincoln-Way North. The Hilltoppers (14-0) have allowed one unearned run in three regional games. With

that sort of pitching and defense, not many runs are needed. Mitch Boe, Tyrell, Dalesandro and Fellows, the top four in Voss’ lineup, created more than enough Thursday. Boe doubled to start the game against Easton Frisby, moved up on a passed ball and

PHIL LAWLER CLASSIC: SANDBURG 7, LOCKPORT 2

Lockport wastes opportunities vs. Sandburg By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT – Leaving the bases loaded three times in the first four innings makes for the kind of numbers that don’t add up to wins. That was the case for host Lockport on Wednesday night against Sandburg. The wasted opportunities in the early innings led to a 7-2 regional semifinal loss in the Phil Lawler Classic summer tournament. Sandburg advanced to the regional title game at 7 p.m.

Thursday vs. Joliet Catholic, a 4-0 winner over Plainfield South. “It is disappointing when you have those opportunities and you don’t take advantage of them, especially early in the game,’’ Lockport coach Andy Satunas said. The Porters had 10 hits and left 12 runners on base. Lockport junior Anthony Cocco was 3-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI. The Porters were losing 5-1 in the sixth when Cocco’s second double put runners at second and

third with one out. But Tyler Hair struck out looking and Steve Hill flew out to center field to end the inning. “We were doing well putting the bat on the ball, but when we needed it, it just didn’t go our way,’’ Cocco said. “It’s a team game. We pick each other up and I just try to do my job.’’ Lockport starting pitcher Jordan Johnston gave up two hits in his 41⁄3 innings, but he hit three batters and walked three, five of whom scored. “I’m proud of Jordan,’’ Satunas said. “He missed the whole

spring [knee injury]. His first time live on a mound was the last week in June. We expect big things out of Jordan.’’ Lockport (13-7) went ahead 1-0 in the second on two base hits, a bunt single and a sacrifice fly. Collin Cronberg led off with a single, Davis Purviance put down a one-out bunt hit and Jeremy Quade singled to load the bases before Cocco delivered a sacrifice fly to score Cronberg. Sandburg (14-2) tied it 1-1 in the third and took advantage of two walks to go ahead 3-1 in the

fourth. Ken Michalowski’s twoout double scored Ben Kociper and Taylor Gold. Sandburg winning pitcher Alec Martinez helped his cause with a two-run double in the fifth that gave the Eagles a 5-1 lead. “I tip my cap to Alec Martinez,’’ Satunas said. “Outstanding job by that young man, commanding the outer half of the strike zone. He commanded his pitches and our hitters did not adjust in the moments when we had the runners in scoring position.’’

LOCKPORT – The Joliet Catholic baseball team has spent most of the summer using the committee approach to pitching, and it keeps on ticking. Four Hilltoppers combined on a three-hitter Wednesday afternoon for a 4-0 victory over Plainfield South in the semifinals of the Lockport Regional in the Phil Lawler Classic summer tournament. “Just how we drew it up,” JCA coach Jared Voss said with a smile. “All four guys are seniors, and they pitched to contact.” Dan Belling, Connor Brandon and Alex Ragusa worked two innings each and had a one-hitter going through six innings. Mike Quiram finished up. “I was going to finish,” senior center fielder Keegan Tyrell said, “but I didn’t have time to warm up in the bullpen.” No matter. Tyrell, who made an excellent catch in the second inning, logged significant mileage chasing down long flyballs to end the sixth and seventh innings. “We thought maybe [Nick] Dalesandro would throw for them, and then when he didn’t,

scored on Tyrell’s sacrifice fly. Boe walked in the third, stole second and scored when Tyrell’s sacrifice bunt was thrown away. Tyrell wound up on second and scored on Dalesandro’s single to make it 3-0. In the fourth Dalesandro walked and scored on Fellows’ double. “That’s my role, to move Mitch over,” Tyrell said. “You put the bunt play on and make them field the ball, and you never know what might happen. “With the guys we have at the top of the lineup, we absolutely have the chance to score some runs next season.” Fellows, the staff ace along with Dalesandro, had two of JCA’s seven hits. “I enjoy hitting,” he said. “I’m seeing the ball well. I look forward to contributing to the team that way next season.” South (14-8) reached the semifinals with a 2-1 win over highly regarded Champaign Central and an 8-0 win over Plainfield Central. Mike Ritter shut down Champaign, striking out 12, and Matt Taller got the victory against Plainfield Central. “We’ve been playing well,” Bodine said. “Our mindset in this game just wasn’t good.”

So while Regan Smith, Elliott Sadler, Chase Elliott and a few others continue their battle for the season points championship, Jones will be introduced to a new world. “The main thing for me, and we’ve talked about it, is just making laps at this point,” Jones said during this week’s NASCAR media teleconference. “It’s really a big step for me getting into a Nationwide car especially at a place like Chicagoland. “At first, I’m just going to be looking to make laps and

get to the end of the race and hopefully be running in the top 10. At the end of the day, we’re all race-car drivers and we all want to go for the win. We will be doing all we can to run up front and contend and at the end of the day, I hope we’ll be up there. “I’m pretty excited to see what it’s all going to bring.” In the truck series, Jones is scheduled to run 12 races this year in the No. 51 Kyle Busch Motorsports Toyota Tundra, which has won all five races where Busch has been behind the wheel. In the Nationwide Series, Jones will drive three races in the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 NarcolepsyLink.com Camry that often is piloted by Matt Kenseth. Jones’ truck victory last weekend was tainted, however, as he and the 51 team were hit with a P2 level penalty for violating Sections 12-1 (actions detrimental to stock car racing) and 20B-12.8.1 (truck failed to meet post-race height requirements) of the 2014 NASCAR rule book. As a result of the infraction, crew chief Eric Phillips has been fined $6,000 and placed on NASCAR probation until Dec. 31, while Jones has been stripped of 10 championship driver points, and owner Busch has been docked 10 championship owner points. Early in the 2012 season,

Erik Jones, driver of the celebrates Friday after winning the American Ethanol 200 at Iowa Speedway in Newton, Iowa. Jones became the first driver to compete in the ARCA Racing Series at age 15, Last Nov. 8, at 17, he became the youngest driver to win a NASCAR race in any series when he won the Lucas Oil 150 truck race at Phoenix. So it’s not like success is foreign. However, most of his experience has been in shorttrack racing. Chicagoland Speedway is a superspeedway, a mile-and-a-half layout. “I haven’t had a lot of experience with racing on mile-anda-halfs with how the air works and all that,” Jones admitted. “But my mindset is open to taking advice from my teammates. “I’ve got two great team-

mates in Elliott Sadler and Sam Hornish who will be there, so I’m definitely going to lean on them. They’ve obviously done it a lot longer than I have. Hopefully I can learn from them and come out a better driver than I was.” Jones said he has tested once with the 20 team, on the short track at Memphis. “That’s the only time I’ve been in a Nationwide car and I felt like we learned quite a bit and got acquainted with the team,” he said. “I think there’s an expectation every time you step into a race car that’s successful and always runs well, especially with the 51 truck this year. Kyle

[Busch] has been extremely dominant, and every time I get into it, it makes me feel more confident just knowing the truck can win.” While admitting expectations are not the same in the Nationwide car, with this being his debut, that does not mean he does not intend to succeed. “I’m wanting to go out and show the team that I can do it and run well in the Nationwide Series and hopefully show that we can be competitive,” he said. So far in his young career, Jones, who does not have the advantage of coming from a racing family, has stepped up and met every challenge, not the least of which was his age. “The biggest challenge for a long time was my age,” he said. “I was stuck being below 18 and didn’t have an opportunity to run a lot of racetracks that were on the schedule, But obviously, that’s now out of the way. “Now it’s just a matter of getting my name out there, getting a sponsor. It’s so hard when you’re a young guy who’s not well known to find somebody that wants to support you because you’re not well known in the racing world and they can go out and help somebody that’s known to everybody. That’s the toughest part for me.” A big-time showing Saturday night in his Nationwide debut may get his name out there once and for all.

BEARS POSITION BREAKDOWN: LINEBACKERS

Bears linebackers Lance Briggs (left) and D.J. Williams head to the locker room after practice June 11 in Lake Forest. that he held up well in limited snaps last season, are pluses. Yet the Bears appear to be looking for more youth and explosiveness on passing downs. The feature attraction camp battle among linebackers will be McClellin vs. Bostic at “Sam.” It’s a dirty-work position that requires players taking on extra blockers, and Bourbonnais will be a golden opportunity for them to not only show what kinds of students they are, but their ability to provide the physicality and toughness the Bears have spent all offseason focused on.

Contract situations (information via Spotrac): The one that stands out is Briggs. He enters the final year of a three-year, $17.5 million pact, one that pays him $6.5 million in 2014. Will the door be open for his return next year, or is another Urlacher-type divorce looming? That largely depends on how Briggs bounces back from a rare injury-shortened season. He is unlikely to secure another longterm commitment – and the Bears began preparing for life without him when they drafted Bostic and Greene – but a strong perfor-

mance could entice the Bears to lock Briggs up for another season, much like they did with Charles Tillman this year. Williams is due a base salary of $955,000, with an additional $313,750 in workout bonuses. It’s a prove-it deal, and Williams can prove he belongs beyond 2014 by bringing durability and stability to a position in flux. Keep an eye on: Jones. His sheer size (6-foot-3, 240 pounds) and movement skills really stood out during the offseason. He’ll have a chance to stand out further in Bourbonnais by showing the pop as a hitter that was evident on his college tape. This is a golden opportunity for Jones. He enters with a clean slate after surprisingly not hearing his name called in the draft, and McClellin and Bostic aren’t exactly established starters in the league. Jones is a long shot to earn a starting job, but he’ll earn a spot on the 53-man roster by excelling on special teams. The Bears have so much uncertainty now and in the foreseeable future at linebacker, making this an ideal spot for Jones to potentially break through.

Overview: General manager Phil Emery said after the draft that the only Bears linebacker who has been told he’s a starter is seven-time Pro Bowler Lance Briggs. The offseason program did little to change that sentiment, and the Bears will arrive in Bourbonnais with plenty to sort out in the second level of their defense. Briggs, 33, was limited to nine starts in 2013 because of a fractured shoulder, but the stalwart is healthy again and ready to man his familiar “Will” post. D.J. Williams, 31, is the favorite to start in the middle. But he made only four starts in his first season in Chicago before tearing his pectoral muscle, and started 16 games only twice during nine seasons with the Broncos. Jon Bostic returns for his second season after filling in for Williams in the middle as a rookie. He’ll compete on the strong side with former first-round defensive end Shea McClellin, whose career the Bears are attempting to revive through a switch to linebacker. Veteran special-teamer Jordan Senn, undrafted rookies Christian Jones, DeDe Lattimore and Conor O’Neill and holdovers Jerry Franklin and Khaseem Greene round out the linebacker corps. Position battles: Although coach Marc Trestman referred to him as their “lead dog,” Williams spent some time on the sideline this offseason. He worked primarily with the first-stringers in the base defense, but was removed in favor of Bostic in the nickel package. Williams’ experience, and the fact

GOOD MUSIC, INSPIRATION Past Shorewood resident and contemporary Christian artist does more than entertain By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

If you go

dunland@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – On July 25, at former Shorewood resident and contemporary Christian artist Carisa Turner’s pre-release party at Minooka Bible Church, patrons will hear songs to stir a variety of emotions. But then, Turner – who also plays the guitar, piano and ukulele – feels a concert should be more than a collection of songs strung together. “I like my shows to be something where people walk away and say, ‘That was a really cool experience,’ ” said Turner, 29, and now living in Georgia. “There should be good music, yes, but [it] should leave people inspired, too.” Turner had already received recognition for “Stop the Noise” at the 2013 CWIMA (Christian Women in Media) Songwriting Contest. Noted songs were “Lost At Sea” (grand prize), “What Would I Do” (Top 10 finalist) and “Stop the Noise” (Top 10 finalist). Turner wrote two new songs “Forever Home” and the title track “Come Down” off her latest EP in response to the stillborn birth of her sister’s first baby, Daniel, at 36 weeks. “One of the cool things about being a writer,” Turner said, “is that the written phrase helps me heal a little bit.” Turner said the incident caused her to feel abandoned by God, struggle with her faith and ask herself, “How could this happen to my family?” even as she knew in her heart that God was good and that a baby who never took

Mormons discuss translation The ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY – The Book of Abraham is inspired scripture and probably not a literal translation from ancient Egyptian scrolls by Mormon founder Joseph Smith, the Utahbased church said in a new essay. The article suggests God may have helped Smith, who never claimed to speak the language it was in, to understand what was in the scrolls. “They catalyzed a process whereby God gave to Joseph Smith a revelation about the life of Abraham, even if that revelation did not directly correlate to the characters on the papyri,” the article says, “The Lord did not require Joseph Smith to have knowledge of Egyptian. By the gift and power of God, Joseph received knowledge about the

life and teachings of Abraham.” The Mormon belief that God provides guidance or inspiration by way of revelations is a fundamental core of the faith and helps church leaders make major decisions. The essay marks a departure from past explanations by officials with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and embraces the widely-held view from religious scholars and historians that Smith’s work isn’t a direct translation, said Armand Mauss, a retired professor of sociology and religious studies at Washington State University. “It is an official recognition – even a concession – that Joseph Smith could not, and did not, ‘translate’ any scriptures in the literal, scholarly sense that is usually implied by the term ‘translate,’” Mauss said.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Do you hold up with two stoppers?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

We have been looking at declarer’s plan in no-trump when he has only one stopper in the suit led at trick one. But how does his strategy change when he has two stoppers in that suit? It depends upon the number of opposing high cards declarer has to drive out before running for home. If he will lose the lead only once, he should take the first trick, give the opponents the trick they are due, and claim. However, if he has two losers to drive out, usually it is right to duck (lose) trick one. In this example deal, West leads the spade four against three no-trump and East puts up his jack. How should South plan the play? South starts with only five top tricks: two spades and three diamonds. He can get three winners from clubs, so also needs a heart trick. He has to concede tricks to both rounded-suit aces. The rule recommends ducking the first trick. Let’s assume East returns his second spade. South wins and plays on clubs. East takes his ace, but doesn’t have another spade to lead (and if he did, the suit would be 4-3). Note that if South takes the first trick and leads a club, East wins and returns his second spade, establishing West’s suit while West still has an entry in the heart ace. Or, if South plays a high heart at trick two, West wins with his ace and East drops the jack, the top of his sequence when he cannot win the trick. Then West should lead his second heart, which would defeat the contract. Finally, yes, if East, when given the first trick, shifts to his heart jack at trick two, South has to guess to play low, which is not clear-cut.

ADVICE Reader reports happy ending to engagement ‘Because I said so’ is a Dear Abby: On July 26, 2011, you posted an answer to “Jittery Future Bride in Boston.” I am that woman. I had asked you how to get my boyfriend of five years to use my deceased grandmother’s ring as an engagement ring. I followed your advice and told my boyfriend-at-the-time that I wanted to use a family ring. I spoke with my father about it and checked with my sister to see if she would mind if I used it. We got engaged seven months ago, and my now-husband told me he had been hoping to take the stone from my paternal grandmother’s ring, a stone from my maternal grandmother’s ring and one from his family to make a new “joining of the families” ring. We haven’t made it yet, but we all look forward to the special meaning that it will embody. We even plan to make a new setting out of the old setting. It’s a fairy-tale end-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing. – Blushing Bride In Boston Dear Blushing Bride: Actually, it’s more like a fairy-tale beginning. I love the idea. Thank you for letting me know how things turned out. Not many of my readers take the time to do that. Dear Abby: The mother of a friend of mine died recently. I offered my condolences, and since then I haven’t been the same. I am nine months pregnant, and even though I should be excited and celebrating the anticipated arrival of our baby, all I can think about is that my mother is going to die one day. She’s 52, healthy and happy, but I can’t get it out of my mind. I have become a different person, crying at the most

trivial things and often panicking that Mom’s OK. Dwelling on this is affecting my relationship with my husband. How do I stop obsessing over this? – Anxious In Albuquerque Dear Anxious: A discussion with your OB/GYN would be helpful. By the last months of pregnancy, a woman’s body is swimming in hormones. Those increased hormone levels have been known to have a profound effect on a woman’s emotions. The solution to your problem may be as simple as understanding that once your baby arrives and your hormones return to normal, you will be back on a more even keel. If that doesn’t happen, you may have to talk with a mental health professional -- although I doubt that will be necessary. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Pacemaker is standard treatment for damaged sinus node Dear Doctor K: My doctor says I have “sick sinus syndrome.” What is it? Dear Reader: Your question reminded me of something that happened many years ago. A new patient came to my office. She told me that a colleague of mine had been her doctor, but she had stopped seeing him because “he didn’t know what he was talking about.” When I asked her to explain, she said that she had been weak and had almost fainted several times. At other times, her heart suddenly seemed to be beating too fast. So she saw her doctor. “He told me it was a sinus problem. How could my sinuses make me faint, or make my heart beat too fast?” she asked. So I told her what I’m about to tell you. Sick sinus syndrome has nothing to do with your sinuses – the ones that get congested when you have a cold, or maybe from allergies. It is a heart condition, caused by the malfunctioning of a part of the heart called the “sinus node,” or the “sinoatrial node.” This small area of the heart keeps your heart rhythm normal or regular. Each time your heart beats, a tiny electrical current triggers the heart muscle to contract.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff The stimulus is sent by the sinus node. This cluster of cells in the upper right portion of your heart acts as your body’s natural pacemaker. (I’ve put an illustration of the sinus node on my website, AskDoctorK.com.) The electrical waves travel through the upper chambers of the heart (the atria). They then pause briefly in the atrioventricular (AV) node in the middle of the heart. The waves continue through specialized electrical connections in the lower heart chambers (the ventricles). This produces a nice rhythmic contraction of the heart muscle. My colleague Dr. Patrick Ellinor is a cardiologist and arrhythmia specialist at Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital. He explains that sick sinus syndrome can take many forms. The sinus node may fail to send out signals quickly enough, for example. As a result, your heart cannot beat fast enough to supply your body with fresh blood and oxygen. That’s why my patient was feeling weak and

nearly fainting. Or, a malfunctioning sinus node may shut down completely for five or six seconds. During that time, electrical activity stops and your heartbeat is put on pause. If that happens, you will most likely pass out. In another form of sick sinus syndrome, the heart rate alternates between a pace that is too fast and one that is too slow. That’s what was happening with my patient. Sick sinus syndrome is more common in people in their 70s and 80s. Most cases result from age-related changes in the heart muscle that disrupt the heart’s electrical system. Certain medications used to treat other heart conditions can also increase risk. The standard treatment is placement of an artificial pacemaker to regulate the heartbeat electronically. This requires minor surgery. But a pacemaker is a safe and effective option for keeping your heart beating on track.

weak parent response Dr. Wallace: I have never been in any kind of trouble at school, and I get good grades, but my parents seem to think that I’ll get in trouble if I’m not always in their sight. I am not allowed to go anywhere with my friends, not even to the mall on a Saturday afternoon. I’m beginning to feel like a prisoner in my own home. I’ve never attended any parties, school dances or even a basketball or football game at my school. I can have a friend over to my house, and that’s the only time I see my friends outside of school, but one or both of my parents must always be home. I’m not a baby. I’m a 15-year-old young lady, and when I ask my mom why I can’t go anywhere, she just always says “Because I said so, and I don’t need to explain my reasons.” I’m missing out on a lot of social activities and it is very frustrating to me. How can I get my mom to let up a little? – Carly, Springfield, Mass. Dear Carly: Your mom may feel more comfortable about letting you have a social life if she knows that the functions are chaperoned by competent adults. You could ask your friend’s mom to call one of your parents to invite you to the get-together. For example, if your girlfriend wants you to attend a slumber party at her house, have her mom call and extend the invite and explain that the party will be well-supervised. This way, your mom can ask any questions that might ease her mind.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace With school functions, have a favorite teacher or your counselor call and explain the event and the routine. I hope your parents will relent a little and allow you to visit with friends outside your home. If they deny a request, they should tell you why the answer is no! “Because I said so,” is a very, very weak (inappropriate) response. Dr. Wallace: I went out with Ted last week, and we had a fantastic time. After we said goodnight, he said that we would get together again and that he would call me in a few days and set up the date. I was happy because I really wanted to see Ted again and I’m disappointed that after 7 days he hasn’t called. My girlfriend said that I should call him, but I’m not too sure I want to do that. Calling might give him the impression that I’m desperate or that I’m super aggressive. Your opinion, and please hurry. – Nameless, Tinley Park Dear Nameless: Some guys might not enjoy being called by a girl, but I get the impression that most do enjoy being called, and that a call from a girl is a great ego boost. Call Ted. You have nothing to lose, and it’s possible that a great romance will be in your future and you will live happily ever after! • Email Dr. Robert Wallace at rwallace@ galesburg.net.

‘Boyhood’: Experimental film at its best By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post In the movie “Boyhood,” we watch as a kid named Mason (Ellar Coltrane) grows up from a little boy into a nearly grown young man, living with his mom and sister in a series of Texas towns, solidifying his relationship with an unsteady father, struggling through schools and step-parents and girlfriends and himself, until, in the film’s final scenes, he starts college. Audiences might think they’ve seen this kind of coming-of-age story before. But they’ve never seen a film like “Boyhood,” which in the hands of writer-director Richard Linklater turns from classic cinematic portraiture into something epic, transcendent and monumental. Filmed for a few days every year over 12 years, “Boyhood” breaks open a brand new genre: a fictional drama contoured and shaped by reality; a lightly scripted ensemble piece executed by both professional and non-professional actors; an experiment in time, narrative and cinematic practice that utterly transforms the boundaries of what film can look like and feel like and achieve. Perhaps the most amazing thing about “Boyhood” is that it draws no attention to its own lofty ambitions. Working in his signature style of observational understatement, Linklater simply allows viewers to eavesdrop and watch, unnoticed, as Mason and his family go about their daily business. But within that simple premise, Linklater discovers multiple emotions and meanings, the film equivalent of a world in a drop of water. When “Boyhood” opens, 6-year-old Mason – dreamy, easily distracted, watchfully quiet – is being harangued by his mom, Olivia (played by Patricia Arquette), about his behavior in school, while his bossy older sister, Samantha (Lorelei Linklater, the filmmaker’s daughter), annoys him by singing Britney Spears over and over. When Mason Sr. (Ethan Hawke) shows up from working in Alaska, he comes bearing gifts and the loosey-goosey aura of the circus coming to town. But as “Boyhood” progresses, Dad begins to embrace fatherhood more seriously. One of the film’s most touching and funny scenes occurs in a bowling alley, where the hapless father tries to engage Mason in a just-buds chat about the facts of life (“We can do this!”). Indeed, much of “Boyhood” has to do with how Mason becomes a man – under the tutelage of his own childish but earnest father, by watching the problematic men his mom becomes involved with, and even within the context of the sexist, epithet-laden rhetoric of his peers. By the

Seamlessly constructed by Linklater and his longtime editor, Sandra Adair, “Boyhood” unfolds with the flowing, unforced rhythms of a river, or real life. The film moves with such fluid, spontaneous ease that it takes a while to realize how overwhelming an enterprise it really is. Elaborating on the familiar time-lapse tropes of Michael Apted’s “7 Up” documentary series and countless YouTube videos, Linklater has refined that rhetoric to create not just a stunt, but also a bona fide piece of cinema that works both as art and mesmerizing entertainment. Coltrane, a non-professional from Linklater’s adopted hometown of Austin, is the clear star of “Boyhood,” but Hawke and Arquette’s performances are among the finest in both of their careers: In many ways, the movie is as much about their characters’ changing self-conceptions and complicated relationship as it is about Mason’s own blink-and-you’ll-miss-it youth. Because it was filmed in real time, “Boyhood” organically reflects the material culture and political touchstones of the ’90s and early 2000s – the Iraq War, the Obama-McCain campaign of 2008, Harry Potter. Over time, the music changes from Spears and Weezer to Cee Lo Green and Daft Punk, becoming a vividly compressed time capsule of social history, tastes and pop signifiers. But mostly,

- United Features Syndicate

“Boyhood” is about someone finding himself – or, perhaps more accurately, a self finding him. Linklater took a chance on casting Coltrane as a 5-year-old, there being no guarantee that he would be as cute or charismatic as an awkward college freshman. Luckily, he’s watchable at every age, encountering milestones big and small with watchful, reflective intensity. Some of those milestones are obvious, such as the 15th birthday when Mason receives a Bible, a blue suit and a 20-gauge shotgun from his family. But most are small – those fleeting, quotidian interludes that no filmmaker other than Linklater would deem worth noticing, let alone valorizing as worthy of narrative attention. Like his fellow Austinite Terrence Malick, Linklater is interested in philosophical questions about time and family and identity and consciousness. But unlike Malick’s similarly themed “Tree of Life,” “Boyhood” is free of fussy auteurist gestures and self-conscious grandiosity. What makes Linklater great is that he possesses the modesty and confidence to simply observe banal, otherwise forgettable non-events, then invest them with scale and sweep and deep significance. As a film that dares to honor small moments and the life they add up to, “Boyhood” isn’t just a masterpiece. It’s a miracle.

• “Boyhood” received four out of four stars. The film is rated R and contains profanity, including sexual references, and teen drug and alcohol use. It runs 166 minutes.
