PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Fest organizers expect bigger-than-ever crowds at the annual summer event that starts Friday.

Due to a good weather outlook and more high-profile programming, organizer Rob Epley from the Plainfield Riverfront Foundation said 12,000 to 15,000 people are expected to attend the carnival-like festival, which starts Friday at 5 p.m. and runs through Sunday.

“There are attractions, carnival rides, and we upped our talent with bands that will play at Plainfield Fest,” Epley said.

Changes this year include a much larger beer tent and food vendor area. At least 20 food vendors will be there.

Popular events – such as the best pizza contest and the bean bag tournament, one of the largest in the Midwest – will return to the festival.

There will be no bingo because of a lack of volunteers, but the

entertainment lineup is much better than previous years, Epley said.

“This really highlights our downtown,” Epley said. “It will highlight local restaurants and businesses. Businesses will still be open.”

Several road closures are

planned from Friday through Sunday due to the festival.

According to a news release from Plainfield police, road closures started at 6 p.m.

Thursday and will last until about 5 a.m. Monday.

Lockport Street between Route 59 and Fox River Street

is closed to all traffic. Des Plaines Street is closed between Ottawa and Oak streets.

Illinois Street is closed between the Plainfield Public Library and the alley just south of Lockport Street. And Chicago Street is closed between Illinois and Fox River streets.

The host riverfront foundation is overseeing the DuPage River redevelopment efforts.

Proceeds from the festival will go toward the foundation. But several other organizations are also lending a hand.

“I thank the village of Plainfield,” Epley said. “We’ve got great support from the mayor, school district and library.

The public works department, police and fire [departments] are what makes this a success every year.”

Festival parking is available at Plainfield Central High School, the library, Village Hall, Riverfront Park, First Midwest Bank and at municipal lots on Des Plaines Street.

Handicapped parking is located on Lockport, Chicago and Des Plaines streets.

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com DWIGHT – A former Morris resident who took his own life while fleeing police was a previous acquaintance of Dwight shooting victim Kelli Denker, police said Thursday – but Dwight Police Chief Tim Henson said no suspects have been named in the double slaying of Denker and her mother.

Former Morris resident Joseph R. Sipple, 27, shot himself last month while fleeing LaSalle County sheriff’s deputies on charges of possession of stolen property. The confrontation occurred June 26 at a home south of Sheridan in the northeastern part of LaSalle County.

Sipple was an acquaintance of Kelli Denker in 2010, but Henson stressed that

investigators have not confirmed anyone as a suspect.

“Under no circumstances did Chief Henson state they have a suspect or any information regarding a suspect,” Dwight police said in a news release issued Thursday.

Confusion on whether Sipple was a suspect in the incident was apparent on social media sites after a local radio station posted a report, which was shared through numerous outlets, on Sipple’s connection to Kelli Denker.

This prompted Henson to send out an updated news release Thursday.

At 4:38 a.m. June 14, a 911 call brought police to the house at 200 W. North St., Dwight, where a man said he’d been shot.

Authorities found Dwight residents Donna Denker, 60, and her daughter, Kelli, 30,

dead in their home. Autopsies showed the women were shot to death. The 23-year-old man who made the 911 call survived.

The surviving victim reported to Dwight paramedics that the shooter was a white male, with facial hair, wearing an orange hoodie and possibly a ball cap, according to the latest release.

Two weeks ago, Dwight police said they had recovered a gun which was linked to the homicides. Henson said in his release Wednesday information on where the weapon was found would not be released at this time because it was “case sensitive.”

Earlier this month, Dwight police said investigators were continuing to follow up on leads and were waiting on test results to be returned from the state lab.

Re-enactors bring history, movies to life

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com

W

hile most of us plan our summer vacations around going somewhere, some folks plan theirs on going somewhen.

For John Nerren, it’s the Voyageur era, when French-Canadians traded with Native Americans. For Robert Kuzma, it’s the Civil War, when men from Will County helped form the ranks of the Union Army. For Mark Mieszala and his family, it’s the bocage fields of Normandy.

And for Jody McQuarters, its on the planet Tatooine, armed with only a gaffi stick and sniper rifle.

Historical re-enactors dress and often camp, eat, fight and generally live the same as their counterparts from another time in history, no matter whether it’s the 1940s, 1860s, 1750s or a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

Voyageurs John Nerren of Orland Park is a member of the Isle a la Cache Brigade, a group of re-enactors and living historians who portray French voyageurs, Native Americans, Canadians and Europeans from the French and Indian War period.

The group’s main local event is Island Rendezvous – the annual June encampment at Isle a la Cache Museum in Romeoville.

“I’ve always been interested in history and this lets me get back into it to see how they lived,” said Nerren, who portrays Jean Michele Neron, a soldier in the Compagnies Franches de la Marine, the colonial French equivalent of

A sword and musket complete the ensemble.

In addition to attending the annual Island Rendezvous and other events, the brigade hosts demonstrations of voyageur-era crafts. On the second Sunday of each month, members showcase their talents as potters, cooks, seamstresses, voyageurs, soldiers and craftsmen.

“It’s hard to go back and live like they did,” Nerren Photo provided said. “I don’t think most of us Robert Kuzma (right) performs with fellow re-enactors at Col. Freder- would want to.

Civil War to fight the “petite guerre,” or little war, using the tactics of the Native Americans.

Nerren made his own

The term “living history” is interesting to many people, said Robert Kuzma of Joliet, who portrays a Union infantry

soldier from the Civil War. “I will be the first to admit that not everyone who does it does it well. But if it piques other people’s interest and maybe makes them read more about the period, then it’s worth it,” Kuzma said.

Kuzma has been re-enacting since 1998. Like many, he was inspired by Ken Burn’s television documentary “The Civil War” and films such as “Gettysburg” and “Glory.”

People get into re-enacting for a lot of reasons, Kuzma said. For him, it was personal.

“After reading so much about the Civil War, I wanted to see on a very small scale what it was like,” Kuzma said.

Kuzma doesn’t portray a specific person. Rather he represents a typical infantry

Kids get a dose of science at refinery ExxonMobil interns serve as Big Brothers Big Sisters for a day

By VIKAAS SHANKER

Online

vshanker@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Big Brothers Big Sisters children Emily and Joshua lit up when they started pouring honey, dish washing soap, lamp oil and other liquids into a flask in a cafeteria at the ExxonMobil refinery on Thursday.

“Awe, that’s so awesome,” 12-year-old Emily said. “I like how they separate.”

At first, 8-year-old Joshua wasn’t interested in the science experiment teaching liquid and solid density. But when he saw the layers of honey, corn syrup and soap form layers, he revealed a bright smile.

“Wow, I didn’t know about this,” he said.

Emily and Joshua are three of 25 children waiting to receive a mentor with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties, a United Way mentorship organization.

ExxonMobil engineering interns organized an in-house science fair for the children to promote science, technology, engineering and math.

“We’re all from pretty much different parts of the world,”

To see more photos of the Big Brothers Big Sisters participants’ science adventures, visit this story on TheHerald-News.com. said intern Emily Capek, a senior from Clarkson University who started up the idea of holding the science fair. “We just want to give back to the community.”

The children first got to see, learn about and walk inside ExxonMobil’s fire safety vehicles. Then they headed to the refinery cafeteria, where interns set up several stations with quirky science experiments.

The children split up into groups and went to each station, which included the density experiment, dissolving polymers, creating “elephant toothpaste” with hydrogen peroxide, and the wonders of iron in cereal.

With magnets and crushedup Total, 10-year-olds Jorge and Hailey were surprised they could dig out the iron from the cereal.

Intern and University of Pennsylvania senior James Sui told Jorge and Hailey that there were two small nails worth of iron in each of their bodies.

“If you asked me if there was science in my cereal, I wouldn’t believe it,” Hailey said. “I nev-

er thought science would be in my food.”

Lisa Las, the chief executive officer for Big Brothers Big Sisters, said it’s been hard on some of the kids who have been waiting over a year for a mentor. But events like this provide for a way to connect with the kids during that process.

“It’s important to hold something like this for them because

they get to see science up close and personal,” Las said. “It’s a great opportunity to see science in action.”

ExxonMobil Midwest Public Affairs Manager Tricia Simpson suggested Big Brothers Big Sisters as an organization the interns could help.

“They’ll probably learn as much from organizing this as on their internships,” she said.

Elwood planning to revoke truck restrictions

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – The village of Elwood plans to rescind a controversial ordinance prohibiting trucks from using Walter Strawn Drive with hopes that CenterPoint Properties will agree to withdraw its federal lawsuit.

The village’s attempt to have CenterPoint Properties withdraw the lawsuit during a federal court hearing Thursday was unsuccessful.

Instead, all three plaintiffs

– CenterPoint, Union Pacific, and APL Logistics – requested the case be brought before a federal judge magistrate to reach a settlement, according to Michael Scotti, attorney for CenterPoint.

“That way, we can work on a global solution. This ordinance is not the beginning or end of the problem at [Walter Strawn Drive],” Scotti said.

“The ordinance violated federal law. That’s not the solution.

There are solutions out there but we have to work together.

The village cannot continue to

take unilateral action and expect to get results.”

Rather than fighting the lawsuit to keep traffic barriers in place, Elwood officials intend to do away with the ordinance next week during a Village Board meeting, according to a news release from the village.

Efforts to reach Elwood officials late Thursday afternoon were not successful.

In the news release, Elwood officials expressed frustration with CenterPoint, saying that the Intermodal facility owner

has no desire to find a longterm solution.

“CenterPoint has no interest in improving safety as they have not presented a single long-term solution that would improve safety,” Elwood Village President William Offerman said in the news release.

“We enacted a plan that reduced truck traffic and had been well received by businesses, but instead of working with us, CenterPoint’s only action has been to sue us. As long as they continue to fight us and delay us from making chang-

es, the public is at risk. We will hold CenterPoint accountable.”

The next federal court date is set for Aug. 6.

CenterPoint, Union Pacific and APL Logistics filed the lawsuit last month after Elwood officials erected concrete barriers near the Walter Strawn Drive crossing to divert semitrailer traffic elsewhere.

The lawsuit contended the barriers violated federal law and that Elwood was illegally interfering with interstate commerce.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A New Lenox man’s neglect of his ailing mother has earned him a 4½year prison sentence.

Mark A. Kuech, 51, was sentenced Thursday after making a blind plea to Judge Sarah Jones. Kuech faced between two to five years in prison for criminal neglect of an elderly person, but could have received probation.

Kuech told Jones he was “deeply disappointed” with himself for being unable to handle the progression of Margaret Kuech’s Alzheimer’s disease. Mark Kuech said he was blindsided by a divorce that left him “wanting to hold on to the last bastion of my family” instead of seeking assisted care living for his mother.

Jones described Kuech’s disappointment as “a kind way to put it.”

“There is undisputed neglect. [After Margaret Kuech was hospitalized] he never once went to see his mother at the nursing home,” Jones said. “While his mother’s deteriorating, he’s out driving around with a .31 [blood alcohol content]. That’s what was

important to him – to go out and get drunk.”

Earlier, a Tinley Park police officer testified that in 2013 Kuech had not secured the boat trailer he was towing to his pickup truck.

The trailer detached and the watercraft struck the window box of a nearby house.

Kuech was charged with driving under the influence with nearly four times the legal Mark A. limit of alcohol Kuech in his system.

Margaret Kuech, now 81, was hospitalized in November 2012 after paramedics found her frail, malnourished and suffering from bedsores.

Her son had been the only person living with her in his home since his ex-wife left six months earlier, according to reports. Mark Kuech was arrested late last year after a lengthy investigation into his mother’s finances, which found no evidence of wrongdoing.

Nursing home staff said Margaret Kuech is in frail health and requires constant care.

JOLIET – The boxing gym owner charged with murder for allegedly setting up his business partner for a robbery has agreed to a plea deal.

Special prosecutor Dave Neal and defense attorney Chuck Bretz told Judge Edward Burmila on Thursday that Jermain K. Bennett will enter a guilty plea in court next week.

The terms of the plea deal have not been disclosed.

But Bennett, 40, who is also

charged with armed robbery and robbery, is expected to testify against co-defendant Kenneth G. Edwards, 46.

“My ability to prove this case [against Edwards] beJermain K. yond a reasonBennett able doubt is conditional upon a co-defendant’s testimony,” Neal told Burmila on Monday during court Kenneth G. proceedings for Edwards Edwards, who is scheduled for trial Aug. 11.

On Aug. 9, 2012, Sean D. McGinn, 39, parked his pickup truck behind the KO Zone Box-

ing Club, 218 E. Cass St., which he co-owned with Bennett.

Police said McGinn had brought thousands of dollars to buy cocaine from Bennett, who instead planned to rob him. Edwards was waiting in the parking lot and shot McGinn twice while Bennett took the cash. Police said the cocaine Bennett had promised to deliver did not exist.

Nearby residents overheard the shots and called police. Bennett was arrested the day after McGinn’s slaying, while Edwards was arrested last October.

Neal was assigned to the cases from the attorney general’s office in February after the court became aware of a potential conflict between a witness and the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

POLICE REPORTS

Law enforcement to carry heroin antidote

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

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

Fatal heroin overdose deaths in Will County: 2014 – 14 (as of Tuesday) 2013 – 35 2012 – 53 2011 – 30 2010 – 26 If given to the victim in time, naloxone can reverse the effects of a heroin overdose by blocking opioid receptors in the brain.

Preventing overdose deaths is particularly important because heroin addiction is very difficult to overcome, she said.

“What we’ve seen is that even if they go into treatment, heroin users often relapse,” Burke said. “When folks relapse, that’s a very dangerous time because their use of the drug needs to be lower than what they went into treatment for. They very often overdose at that point.”

Burke said she hopes to roll out training, which is voluntary, in September. The program will be available to all police departments in Will County.

As of Tuesday, there have been 14 overdoses in Will County this year involving heroin, or heroin coupled with other drugs, according to data from the coroner’s office. In

JOLIET – Thanks to a new countywide program, law enforcement officials will soon be equipped with an anti-overdose drug – known as Narcan – that helps reverse the potentially deadly effects of heroin.

Members of the Will County Board on Thursday approved the rollout of the Narcan Distribution Program, which entails training police officers on how to administer the heroin overdose antidote.

Paramedics have long used Narcan to counter the effects of heroin overdoses. But the countywide program will allow police officers to carry the drug and use it if they come across an overdose victim.

The program is being funded through a $29,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice.

Kathleen Burke, president of Strategic Prevention, a consulting firm specializing in substance abuse, will head up the training program in Will County.

She said Narcan, a trade name for the opioid antidote drug naloxone, could mean the difference between life and death in some cases.

“Police officers are often the first on scene, even before the ambulance is called, so it’s really important that the antidote be administered as soon as possible,” Burke said.

nine of the 14 overdoses, heroin was the sole cause of death.

The new program is part of Will County’s overall goal of reducing heroin overdose deaths.

Three years ago, county officials teamed up with a parents’ group to form Will County HELPS (Heroin Education Leads to Preventative Solutions) to get the word out about the dangers of heroin.

The county also provided heroin education programs at local schools by partnering with the Robert Crown Center for Health Education.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh said Thursday he hopes Narcan gives drug addicts a second chance at life.

“I believe in my own mind that somebody who comes close to passing away from an overdose will realize he was saved just in the nick of time by a dosage of Narcan,” Walsh said. “Hopefully, it gives them the willpower it will take to seek counseling and rehab to get off the addiction of this terrible drug.”

Burke said heroin addiction is a reality society must face.

“This is a strategy used to prevent people from dying.

Because it’s a chronic disease, we will always have situations where there’s relapse. It’s really important that we don’t just throw up our hands and say ‘Well, that’s just the way it is,’ ” Burke said.

SCHOOL DISTRICT 210

Lincoln-Way officials set public hearing for budget

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way High School District 210 leaders are hoping for a balanced budget next year.

But that all depends on the amount of state funding the district receives and if there is more growth in property next year. At Thursday’s board meeting, District 210 Superintendent Scott Tingley said he’s noticed more home construction this year than in the past.

It could mean a good outcome next year for the budget of a school district that has seen declining property values since 2009.

“If we can start to maintain that slow steady growth, it will help us,” he said.

At the meeting, board members approved the notice of a public hearing for a projected

$101.5 million budget for fiscal 2015. The hearing will be on Sept. 9 at Lincoln-Way Central High School.

Tingley said District 210 will need to continue to be conservative in spending without affecting students or school programs. This year, school officials reduced the size of the district’s Air Force JROTC program and dismissed four art teachers because of low enrollments.

The school district has made cuts to other programs and dismissed staff in the past several years because of a struggling economy and low state funding.

“I’m not optimistic at all,” Tingley said about future state funding. “But you have to be.

Not everything can be doom and gloom.”

On Thursday, board members also approved the budget

for Lincoln-Way Area Special Education District 843.

Lincoln-Way is part of a cooperative with other area school districts for District 843, which provides special education services and support to students with special needs.

Before District 843 governing board members can vote on their budget, they need approval from the districts that are members of the cooperative.

Ronald Sawin, the district’s assistant superintendent of business, said Lincoln-Way’s share of the budget’s major funds increased by 6.6 percent because New Lenox School District 122 withdrew from the cooperative.

“We’re taking a bigger share of overhead expenses and administrative expenses.

That’s why we’re seeing that jump at this point in time,” he said.

Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued coins are actually being handed over to Illinois residents who find their county listed below, but only those who beat the 48 hour deadline are getting the Vault Bags of nearly 100 year old Gov’t issued coins for just $59 Who gets the Vault Bags: Shown below are the Illinois counties that get the Vault Bags. If you live in one of the counties highlighted in black immediately call the National Distribution Hotline at: 1-866-210-2218

■ RARELY SEEN U.S. COINS LEAVE VAULT: These packages containing Vault Bags loaded with valuable Indian Head coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago are being moved from the private vaults of the World Reserve for immediate distribution to Illinois residents.

here’s the best part. Everyone who claims four Vault Bags before all the money is gone is getting free shipping and free handling.

“We’re bracing for all the calls because there are just hours left for residents to get the Vault Bags,” Shissler said.

So, Illinois residents who find their county highlighted in black on the Distribution Map below need to immediately call the National Distribution Hotlines before the 48-hour deadline ends to get the Vault Bags. If lines are busy keep trying, all calls will be answered. ■

VALUABLE: ISSUED BY THE U.S. GOV’T NEARLY 100 YEARS AGO

RARELY SEEN: YEAR VARIES 1913-1938

How to get the bags of U.S. Gov’t issued coins Shown to the left in black are the Illinois counties that get the Vault Bags. If you live in one of the counties highlighted in black immediately call the National Distribution Hotline before the 48 hour deadline ends at: 1-866-210-2218 ■ U.S. GOV’T ISSUED COINS: These bags are loaded with rarely seen Indian Head coins that everyone is rushing to get for just $59. That’s because everyone who beats the 48-hour deadline to claim four bags is getting free shipping and free handling.

How much are the Vault Bags worth: Coin values always fluctuate and there are never any guarantees, but here’s why residents are rushing to claim the Vault Bags before they’re all gone. After the Vault Bags were loaded with rarely seen coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t they were sealed for good. That means there’s no telling what you’ll find until you sort through all the coins. So you better believe at just $ 59 and shipping residents are claiming all the Vault Bags they can get since there’s no telling how much just one scarce and highly collectible Indian Head coin alone could be worth in collector value.

Why is the Vault Bag fee so low: Because thousands of U.S. residents have missed the deadline to claim the money, the World Reserve has re-allocated Vault Bags that will be scheduled to be sent out in the next 48 hours. That means the money is up for grabs and now any resident who finds their county highlighted in black on the Distribution Map printed in today’s publication gets to claim the Vault Bags of money for themselves and keep all the U.S. Gov’t issued coins found inside. Each Vault Bag loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins is set at $78 for residents who miss the deadline, but for those who beat the 48-hour deadline the Vault Bag fee is just $ 59 and the best part is everyone who claims four Vault Bags before all the money is gone is getting free shipping and free handling as long as they call the National Distribution Hotline before the deadline ends.

ILLINOIS - The phones are ringing off the hook.

That’s because for the next 48 hours Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen Indian Head coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago are being released to Illinois residents who find their county highlighted in black on the Distribution Map printed in today’s publication.

Everyone is rushing to get the Vault Bags because each one is loaded with nearly a quarter pound of rarely seen Indian Head coins dating all the way back to the early 1900s.

“It’s hard to tell how much these heavy Vault Bags could be worth someday. That’s because after they were filled with U.S. Gov’t issued coins, the bags were sealed for good,” said Timothy J. Shissler, Director of Vault Operations for the private World Reserve.

Since this advertising announcement can’t stop collectors from hoarding all the rarely seen coins they can get, the World Reserve has imposed a strict limit of 10 Vault Bags per resident.

That’s why it’s important that residents call the National Distribution Hotlines beginning at precisely 8:30am this morning.

Everyone who does is getting the Vault Bags loaded with rarely seen coins issued by the U.S. Gov’t nearly 100 years ago for just $59 and shipping and handling, which is why residents are claiming all the Vault Bags they can get since there’s no telling how much just one scarce and highly collectible Indian Head coin alone could be worth in collector value.

TROY SCHOOL DISTRICT 30-C

| LOCAL NEWS

Changes made in school leadership

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, July 18, 2014

12

By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media Correspondent The Troy School District 30-C board this week unanimously approved the creation of two positions that will divide the duties of the now defunct post of director of operations, which was vacated Monday by Ken Surma.

Surma left to become an assistant superintendent at Hinsdale Community Consolidated School District 181. He joins former Troy Superintendent Don White, who left in May. New Troy Superintendent Todd Koehl started Monday.

The board approved Wednesday the appointment of current Director of Finance Elaine Colombo to the newly created position of executive director of finance and operations. Colombo got a $24,000 raise and will make $125,000.

She will take over operations duties.

Another new position, director of human resources, has yet to be filled, Koehl said.

The job will pay $110,000. Koehl said he expects that position to be filled at a special board

meeting July 30.

By that time, Koehl also hopes to fill the recently vacated principal post at Heritage Trail Elementary School.

Also, the board approved the appointment of Deb Marco as director of special education, a position created last February. The position assimilates the duties of Special Services Coordinator Dede Glover, who left at the end of June for a position in a private school.

In other news: • The district has signed a five-year, $748,000 lease for 67 new school buses to replace what school officials described as an aging bus fleet.

• The district has closed a deal that has been in the budget for two years to buy 51 acres at Essington Road and Glenwood Avenue for $2.2 million. The property, which is earmarked for a future intermediate school campus, was acquired “while the prices were right” but there are no immediate building plans, according to school board President Mark Griglione.

Wayne Ladd, Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team director, said an investigation into “street deals of high-grade cannabis” led to officers conducting surveillance of a parking lot on Route 59 in Joliet.

“Officers approached the vehicle to see Matthew Hansen, 22, sitting with a large amount of cannabis between

his legs and more in his pockets,” Ladd said. Police reportedly seized 253 grams of marijuana and $1,900.

Hansen, of the 24200 block of South Iroquois Drive, Matthew was arrested on Hansen charges of delivery of marijuana and marijuana possession and booked into the Will County jail.

Ladd said charges are pending against another person who was taken into custody with Hansen.

Local Krokodil user faces heroin charge

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com ROCKDALE – Two women, one of whom was diagnosed last year as having used the flesh-eating Krokodil drug, have been arrested on suspicion of dealing heroin.

Wayne Ladd, Will County Cooperative Police Assistance Team director, said an investigation into heroin deals led to a search warrant being execut- Brooke L. ed Wednesday Bartnik night at Brooke L. Bartnik’s home in the 100 block of Anita Street.

“The search found over 50 needles strewn throughout the house and dozens of empty baggies. There were also small children in the residence,” Ladd said.

Bartnik, 31, and her friend Amber M. Neitzel, 27, of the 1200 block of Connor Avenue in Lockport, were arrested on charges of delivery of drugs and booked into the Will Coun-

ty jail. Amber Neitzel’s sister Angela also was detained

by CPAT agents, but was not charged, according to reports.

In October 2013, the Neitzel sisters were treated at Saint Joseph Medical Center, where they were diagnosed as having injected a heroin knockoff drug called Krokodil or Crocodile. The case drew widespread attention after a doctor at the hospital put out a statement saying he had detected the use Amber M. of Krokodil.

Neitzel The Neitzel sisters were believed to be among the first Americans to use the drug, which consists of codeine tablets mixed with gasoline, paint thinner, butane and other chemicals and sells for a quarter of the price of heroin. Krokodil kills tissue by destroying blood vessels, which results in gangrene.

Angela Neitzel told The Herald-News last year she needed skin grafts after taking the drug.

Urgent care clinic opens

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Physicians Immediate Care has scheduled an open house Saturday for its new urgent care clinic at Black Road and Larkin Avenue.

The community open house, which will include breakfast, a clinic tour and free gifts, will be from 9 to 11 a.m. at 800 Larkin Ave., Joliet.

The 3,500-square-foot facility will feature X-ray, lab testing, five exam rooms, a pediatric room and a trauma room for treatment of injuries that are not life-threatening and minor surgical procedures.

The new clinic replaces the group’s former location on 750 Essington Road. The new site will offer more centrally located access to Joliet, Todd Vang, vice president of location strat-

egy and patient insights, said in a previous interview.

The Larkin Avenue clinic opened Monday.

“This location is very easy to find for patients all over Joliet,” said Moha Mehta, a spokeswoman for the company.

The company also operates a clinic at 1360 Houbolt Road in Joliet. The facilities offer an option for people seeking immediate care for various health problems, Mehta said.

“Under the Affordable Care Act, urgent care has become an affordable alternative to the emergency room,” Mehta said.

“Patients can walk in and see a doctor or physician’s assistant, and get the same level of care ... with a lower wait time.”

The Larkin clinic expects to see about 800 patients per week, Mehta said.

Johnny Winter plays in June 2009 during the Canton Blues Festival in downtown Canton, Ohio. Winter, who rose to fame in the late 1960s and ’70s with his energetic performances and recordings that included producing his childhood hero Muddy Waters, died in Switzerland on Wednesday.

Johnny Winter, Texas blues legend, dies at 70 in Zurich

By JOHN HEILPRIN The Associated Press GENEVA – Texas blues legend Johnny Winter emblazoned himself into the world’s consciousness with his tattooed arms churning out lightning-fast guitar riffs and his striking long white hair flowing from under his cowboy hat.

His contrasting appearance and devotion to the blues pioneers of the 20th century turbo-charged a career in which he emulated and, ultimately, championed, his childhood hero Muddy Waters and other icons.

Winters carved out a wide niche – and became an icon himself – starting in the late 1960s and 1970s with a sound that blues and country singer Tracy Nelson, prominent during the same era with her band Mother Earth, described as “Texas second generation.”

“He did not overplay, like a lot of white blues guitarists,” she said of Winter, who collaborated with the likes of Waters, John Lee Hooker and Jimi Hendrix. “His tone was a little more modern, more

electric, but I could see the influences. He stayed faithful.

People idolized him.”

Winter’s representative, Carla Parisi, confirmed Thursday that he died in a hotel room just outside Zurich a day earlier at age 70.

The statement said his wife, family and bandmates were all saddened by the loss of one of the world’s finest guitarists.

The cause of death was unclear and authorities have ordered an autopsy, said Zurich police spokeswoman Cornelia Schuoler. She said investigators are mainly looking at “medical causes” and there is no indication that anyone else was involved.

Winter was a leading light among the white blues guitar players, including Eric Clapton and the late Stevie Ray Vaughan, who followed in the footsteps of the earlier Chicago blues masters.

He idolized Waters – and got a chance to produce some of the blues legend’s more popular albums. Rolling Stone magazine named Winter one of the top 100 guitarists of all time.

Music writer Fred Schruers said Winter played a major role in introducing the blues to a new audience.

“The real legacy of Johnny Winter is that he brought the blues to an audience in tie-dye that might otherwise have neglected the entire genre – and his timely work producing Muddy Waters only deepened that contribution,” said Schruers, author of an upcoming biography of Billy Joel.

Winter had been on an extensive tour this year to celebrate his 70th birthday. His last performance was on Saturday at the Lovely Days Festival in Wiesen, Austria.

He had recently announced that he would follow up his 2011 album “Roots” with a new studio album, “Step Back,” in September featuring collaborators such as Eric Clapton, Ben Harper, Joe Perry, Dr. John and Joe Bonnamassa.

John Dawson Winter III was born on Feb. 23, 1944, and raised in Beaumont, Texas. He was the older brother of Edgar Winter, who like him was an albino, and rose to musical fame with the Edgar Winter Group.

NEW YORK – Elaine Stritch was more than a Broadway actress. She was a New York institution, strolling around in a fur coat, pork pie hat or oversized sunglasses. She often wore shorts and ties, or just black stockings and a white flowing shirt.

Her weapon of choice was the zinger.

“I like anything I don’t know about,” she said in a 2010 interview with The Associated Press. “And I don’t like most of the things I do.” She also offered this: “The most horrible line in the English language for me is, ‘God, you haven’t changed a bit.’ ” Stritch, who became a sort of shorthand for acting longevity since she made her Broadway debut in “Loco” in 1946, died Thursday at 89 in her home state of Michigan – far from her adopted home of New York and her former longtime home and stage at the Carlyle Hotel. But Broadway and New York immediately sent their love.

Liza Minnelli remembered her as “a true trail blazer.

Her talent and spunk will be greatly missed by so many of us.” Lena Dunham said on Twitter: “May your heaven be a booze-soaked, no-pants solo show at the Carlyle.” Broadway’s marquees were to dim in her memory on Friday and a Twitter hashtag was born – #EverybodyRise.

Although Stritch appeared in movies and on television,

garnering three Emmys and finding new fans as Alec Baldwin’s unforgiving mother on “30 Rock,” she was best known for her stage work, particularly in her candid one-woman memoir, “Elaine Stritch: At Liberty,” and in the Stephen Sondheim musical “Company.”

Stritch worked well into her late 80s, most recently as Madame Armfeldt in Sondheim’s musical “A Little Night Music” in 2010. She had built up so much goodwill that simply appearing onstage triggered a wave of applause, but she said she still tried to earn it every night. Her tart tongue also remained.

“You know where I’m at in age?” she asked during the run. “I don’t need anything.

That’s a little scary – when you know that the last two bras you bought are it. You won’t need any more. I’m not going to live long for any big, new discovery at Victoria’s Secret.”

In 2013, Stritch retired to Michigan after 71 years in New York City and made a series of farewell performances at the Carlyle, where she lived for a decade.

Stritch’s films include “A Farewell to Arms” (1957), “Out to Sea” (1997), and Woody Allen’s “September” (1987) and “Small Time Crooks” (2000).

She also appeared on TV, most notably a guest spot on “Law & Order” in 1990, which won Stritch her first Emmy.

The recurring role in “30 Rock” got her another in 2007.

Land needed for tollway project awaits federal OK

WILMINGTON – Illinois officials now estimate that land needed for the proposed Illiana Tollway project will not be purchased before winter.

According to the Southtown Star, Illinois Department of Transportation officials told a crowd at Wilmington City Hall on Wednesday that the federal record of decision needed for the project has been pushed back and now isn’t expected before late winter.

Officials said the project cannot move forward without federal government approval.

Homeowners whose houses may be bought to make way for the project say they’re now in limbo. Some like Bernard Benson of Wilmington complain that the state has ignored their opposition to the project.

The tollway would run 47 miles between Wilmington and Lowell, Indiana.

Illinois lawmakers delay probe of violence program

CHICAGO – A bipartisan panel of Illinois lawmakers voted Thursday to postpone grilling people connected with Gov. Pat Quinn’s anti-violence program, bowing to the wishes of the U.S. Justice Department, which has a criminal investigation underway.

Though the Legislative Audit Commission bickered for hours Wednesday over how to proceed, members voted unanimously to call seven subpoenaed witnesses Oct. 8, complying with the 90-day respite requested by U.S. Attorney James Lewis in Springfield.

EPA: Only 21 years of landfill capacity

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency says the state’s municipal landfills have a combined life expectancy of 21 years.

The agency released its annual report on landfill capacity on Wednesday, based on 2013 statistics. It says 42 landfills reported receiving more than 45 million cubic yards of waste and had more than 947 million cubic yards of capacity remaining.

The EPA says capacity can fluctuate from year to year, because some landfill cells are filled and others are opened.

Prospects for action on border crisis fade

By ERICA WERNER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Prospects for action on the nation’s border crisis faded Thursday as lawmakers traded accusations rather than solutions, raising chances that Congress will head out for its summer recess without doing anything about the tens of thousands of migrant children streaming into South Texas.

Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas announced plans to try to cancel out President Barack Obama’s two-yearold policy that granted work permits to hundreds of thousands of immigrants brought illegally to the country as youths, saying it was causing the crisis – something the administration disputed. “The problem will not be solved until we make clear that those coming here illegally will not be granted amnesty,” Cruz declared.

That drew a rebuke from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who complained on the Senate floor: “Instead of considering a thoughtful, compassionate solution to a real-life crisis, radical Republicans would rather hold these kids ransom.”

Meanwhile Democratic Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, declared himself dead-set opposed to legal changes to speed return of the migrants to Central America more quickly – changes Republicans have demanded as the price for approving any part of Obama’s $3.7 billion emergency spending request for the border. “I understand the desire to accelerate the process, but accelerating without due process is not acceptable,” Menendez said.

Taken together, the developments suggested lawmakers were hardening their

Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Robert Menendez, D-N.J., gestures Thursday as he speaks on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. Menendez said it’s not acceptable to change U.S. policy to speed Central American kids home faster from the border without court hearings. positions, leading House Speaker John Boehner – who regularly declares himself a glass-half-full optimist – to downgrade hopes for a solution.

“I don’t have as much optimism as I’d like to have,” said Boehner, R-Ohio. With just weeks until Congress’ August recess, a working group the speaker convened to develop solutions to the problem failed once again to release its report Thursday, after initially promising to do so as early as Tuesday.

Even so, lawmakers in both parties expressed a desire to act amid signs that the public is demanding a resolution. One in six people now call immigration the most pressing problem facing the U.S., according to a new Gallup Poll – up dramatically just since last month, when only 5 percent said immigration topped their list of concerns.

“It’s a terrible situation.

You talk about small kids, nobody there to help them, but they’ve got to go back,” said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., a supporter of stalled congressional efforts to overhaul the nation’s immigration system.

“I am out there on immigra-

tion reform, but there is no market for this in America. ...

America is not going to tolerate this.”

More than 57,000 children have arrived since fall, mostly from El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

The reasons for the unexpected surge have become as disputed on Capitol Hill as what the solution should be.

Obama administration officials point to brutal gang violence in some areas of Central America, as well as efforts by the children to reunite with family members.

They also said smugglers are exploiting U.S. policies that, in practice, allow Central American kids to stay for years or indefinitely once they arrive.

At Menendez’s hearing Thursday, Thomas A. Shannon Jr., a counselor at the State Department, pointed to a 2008 trafficking victims law signed by George W. Bush that guarantees hearings to young people arriving here from Central America. It can allow them to stay here for years as their cases progress slowly through the overburdened immigration court system.

People inspect the crash site Thursday of a passenger plane near the village of Grabovo, Ukraine. Ukraine said a passenger plane carrying 295 people was shot down Thursday as it flew over the country, and both the government and the pro-Russia separatists fighting in the region denied any responsibility for downing the plane. more than a half-mile from one another. Residents said the tail was about six miles farther away. Rescue workers planted sticks with white flags in spots where they found human remains.

There was no sign of any survivors from Flight 17, which took off shortly after noon Thursday from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur with 283 passengers, including three infants, and a crew of 15. Malaysia’s prime minister said there

was no distress call before the plane went down and that the flight route was declared safe by the International Civil Aviation Organization.

President Petro Poroshenko called it an “act of terrorism” and demanded an international investigation.

He insisted his forces did not shoot down the plane.

Ukraine’s security services produced what they said were two intercepted telephone conversations that showed rebels

were responsible. In the first call, the security services said, rebel commander Igor Bezler tells a Russian military intelligence officer that rebel forces shot down a plane. In the second, two rebel fighters – one of them at the crash scene – say the rocket attack was carried out by a unit of insurgents about 15 miles north of the site.

Neither recording could be independently verified.

Earlier in the week, the

Israel invades Gaza after Hamas rejects truce The ASSOCIATED PRESS GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – The heavy thud of tank shells, often just seconds apart, echoed across the Gaza Strip early Friday as thousands of Israeli soldiers launched a ground invasion, escalating a 10-day campaign of heavy air bombardments to try to destroy Hamas’ rocket-firing abilities and the tunnels militants use to infiltrate Israel.

Flares lit up the night sky before dawn and the wail of ambulance sirens mixed with the Muslim call to prayer from mosque loudspeakers as thick

smoke rose into the air from sites where shells and missiles struck.

“There is a tank shell every minute,” said an official in the Gaza security operations room, who said all of the seaside strip’s border areas were being shelled and that Hamas fighters were exchanging fire with Israeli troops near a northern Gaza town.

“There is also fire from the sea toward police checkpoints.”

Israel launched the offensive late Thursday after becoming increasingly exasperated with unrelenting rocket

fire from Gaza on its cities, especially following Hamas’ rejection of an Egyptian ceasefire plan earlier in the week.

Palestinian militants have fired more than 1,500 rockets at Israeli cities since fighting began.

However, a ground offensive could quickly lead to military and political entanglements for Israel, especially if more Palestinian civilians are killed.

More than 240 Palestinians have already died in the air campaign, including 14 children under age 12 killed over the past two days, according

to Palestinian health officials.

One Israeli has also died.

Hamas struck a defiant tone.

A spokesman, Fawzi Barhoum, said Israel “will pay dearly” for the assault. “Hamas is ready for a confrontation,” he said.

The Israeli operation began around 10 p.m. Thursday, with what the military said was an open-ended assault to be carried out on several fronts.

“Large ground forces accompanied by massive air force support, naval forces and intelligence, are taking over targets in Gaza, operating against tunnels and terror activists and infrastructure,”

said chief military spokesman Brig. Gen. Motti Almoz.

He called on Gaza residents to evacuate targeted areas, warning the “military is operating there with very great force.”

Gaza health officials said eight Palestinians were killed in the early stage of the ground operation, including a 3-month-old boy who died after a shell hit his family’s Bedouin tent in southern Gaza.

The body was evacuated on a donkey cart because ambulances couldn’t reach the area due to heavy shelling, the officials said.

HRABOVE, Ukraine – Ukraine accused pro-Russian separatists of shooting down a Malaysian jetliner with 298 people aboard Thursday, sharply escalating the crisis and threatening to draw both East and West deeper into the conflict. The rebels denied downing the aircraft.

American intelligence authorities believe a surface-toair missile brought the plane down but were still working on who fired the missile and whether it came from the Russian or Ukrainian side of the border, a U.S. official said.

Bodies, debris and burning wreckage of the Boeing 777 were strewn over a field near the rebel-held village of Hrabove in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, about 25 miles from the Russian border, where fighting has raged for months.

U.S. Vice President Joe Biden described the plane as having been “blown out of the sky.”

The aircraft appeared to have broken up before impact, and there were large pieces of the plane that bore the red, white and blue markings of Malaysia Airlines – now familiar worldwide because of the carrier’s still-missing jetliner from earlier this year.

The cockpit and one of the turbines lay at a distance of

rebels had claimed responsibility for shooting down two Ukrainian military planes.

President Barack Obama called the crash a “terrible tragedy” and spoke by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin as well as Poroshenko.

Britain asked for an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council on Ukraine.

Later, Putin said Ukraine bore responsibility for the crash, but he didn’t address the question of who might have shot it down and didn’t accuse Ukraine of doing so.

“This tragedy would not have happened if there were peace on this land, if the military actions had not been renewed in southeast Ukraine,” Putin said, according to a Kremlin statement issued early Friday. “And, certainly, the state over whose territory this occurred bears responsibility for this awful tragedy.”

At the United Nations, Ukrainian Ambassador Yuriy Sergeyev told the AP that Russia gave the separatists a sophisticated missile system and thus Moscow bears responsibility, along with the rebels.

Officials said more than half of those aboard the plane were Dutch citizens, along with passengers from Australia, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, the Philippines and Canada. The home countries of nearly 50 were not confirmed.

Star Wars Jody McQuarters of Plainfield can’t decide whether he wants to be one of the good guys or one of the bad guys. So he portrays both.

McQuarters is a member of the 501st Legion, a group that re-enacts Imperial Stormtroopers from the “Star Wars” universe, and the Rebel Legion, whose members portray the various humans and aliens who fight against the Empire.

McQuarters portrays both a stormtrooper and a Tusken Raider, one of the “Sand People” that attack Luke Skywalker in the first “Star Wars” movie.

Many Civil War events take place in the heat of summer and fall. Hardcore enthusiasts often eschew all modern conveniences while in character.

Just wearing wool in the summer takes a level of commitment many would be unwilling to make.

“It gets a little warm,” Kuzma admitted, “but being a natural fabric, it wicks away the moisture from your body and provides a cooling effect.”

It’s become an expensive pursuit. Kuzma estimated he’s spent several thousand dollars over the years on a variety of different uniforms, equipment and two reproduction muskets.

“It’s like anything else. ...

When you first get into a hobby, you start at rock bottom or somewhere in the middle,” he explained. “But as you go on, you get the itch to upgrade.”

Over the years he’s attended events in Gettysburg, Chickamauga, Antietam and Vicksburg. Now, at age 57, he sticks more to one-day appearances at local events, such as Civil War Days in October at Dollinger Family Farm in Minooka.

“After doing it for so long, it’s not really the re-enactment that I get satisfaction out of,” Kuzma said. “What I really like is the opportunity to interact with people and talk to them about Will County and its place in the Civil War.”

“If you’re lying face down in the grass and there’s a tank coming, it’s very unnerving,” said Mieszala, who portrays a paratrooper from the 101st Airborne Division.

For another, the range of the re-enactors is much broader. Some portray American GIs, others Germans, still others British, Polish, French, Russian and even Japanese soldiers.

Even if the soldier being portrayed isn’t necessarily historically accurate for a particular battle, the re-enactor is allowed to participate in the battles and encampments, Mieszala said.

People come from all over for the event, he said.

“Most guys drive six to 10 hours and camp out all weekend,” Mieszala said. “They set up tents on Friday and stay until Sunday. We try to stay in character by eating C or K rations, and sleeping on cots or on the ground.”

The Herald-News Editorial Board Bob Wall, Denise Baran-Unland, Hannah Kohut, Bob Okon and Kate Schott

OUR VIEW

Thumbs-up to Paws-4-Kids The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to Will County State’s Attorney Jim Glasgow, along with his executive assistant Cheri Johnson and her husband Kurt.

Together, they devised the successful Paws-4Kids program at the Will County Children’s Advocacy Center, with Cheri and Kurt to offer their therapy dogs – Jackson and Malley – to provide well-needed comfort and support to the tiniest and most vulnerable victims of physical and sexual abuse, as well as to their families and the center’s staff. Two thumbs up for making the program so successful that Glasgow is hoping to expand it by adding more volunteer therapy dogs.

Thumbs-down: to any more ideas about expanded gambling in Illinois. Besides the social impact of putting video gaming machines almost anyplace that can squeeze them in, the June revenue report from the Illinois Gaming Board is the latest sample of how expanded gambling is tearing away at the revenue of casinos. Casinos at least have had the positive impact of employing thousands of workers and generating millions in local tax dollars. Joliet tax dollars from casino gaming for June alone were down more than $200,000 from June 2013.

Thumbs-up: to an exciting weekend at the Chicagoland Speedway. The nationally televised Nationwide Series race is drawing thousands of locals and visitors to our area, most of whom will pump money into our local economy. From gas stations to restaurants, hotels and stores, we all benefit from this weekend’s events. And remember, most NASCAR stars get their starts in the Nationwide Series, so it’s a great opportunity to watch the up-and-coming racers qualify for the larger contests. Pair that with red-carpet and pit-pass opportunities, you may even meet these drivers in person.

Thumbs-down: to reports that identify theft is on the rise in Illinois. Attorney General Lisa Madigan was in town Tuesday to address the Rotary Club of Joliet and talked about how big of a problem that has becoming throughout the country. Criminals who get identifiers like Social Security numbers and passwords use that information to either take money from accounts or open new accounts, which won’t be paid. Madigan said keeping an eye on your credit is the best thing you can do to avoid getting ripped off.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Is Obama the worst president?

Wow. A reputable poll shows that the public believes Barack Obama is the worst president since World War II. Worse than Richard M. Nixon, driven from the presidency by Watergate?

Much. Worse than Jimmy Carter, for decades the very symbol of the feckless chief executive? Loads.

Worse than George W. Bush, still a lightning rod on the left and a symbol of disappointment on the right? Definitely.

These startling poll results set loose the predictable reaction: A flurry of told-you-so nods on the right and a fusillade of this-tellsus-nothing assertions on the left.

For once, they’re both right.

Obama is in trouble, no matter how carefully you peel through the Quinnipiac University poll that is causing such a firestorm.

There’s almost no good news there, or anywhere else, for the president.

Then again, this worst-president poll sheds little light. Almost

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE David M. Shribman every veteran observer of polls and presidents will likely attest to that.

First, the trouble.

Obama has it, in several dimensions. The public is split evenly – 48 percent to 48 percent – on whether the president is honest and trustworthy. It’s split fairly evenly on whether he has strong leadership qualities, with a slight advantage to those who think he doesn’t. The same for whether the president cares about “people like you,” with the same slight advantage this time to the president.

Here’s the big one. By a fairly substantial margin (45 percent to 38 percent), the public believes the nation would be better off had former Gov. Mitt Romney of Mas-

sachusetts been elected two years ago rather than Obama.

No one can possibly argue that these figures are good news for the president, who is dealing with an immigration crisis at the Mexican border, a crumbling Iraq, an uncertain Afghanistan and an economy that hasn’t bounced back fully. How Obama, employing the idiom of hope and change, would have loved to run against an incumbent president with a portfolio like that!

Now, the sobering bucket of cold water for the Obama critics.

With the exception of three occupants of the White House (all war presidents), presidents tend to grow in stature as their administrations grow more distant in the rear-view mirror.

The exceptions, according to Gallup figures in The New Republic, are three of the most beleaguered modern presidents:

See SHRIBMAN, page 24

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 TIME FOR CHANGE IN GOVERNMENT To the Editor: Haven’t heard much about the 67 percent state tax increase. It wouldn’t be because the elections are drawing near? More government smoke and mirrors.

I don’t know about you but I am sure getting tired of these guys in government. Let’s take them all to the woodshed in the fall.

By the way, as a reminder, I was very disappointed by the poor primary election turnout.

Please, let’s not do it again in November. We need every vote to turn this big ship around.

FED UP WITH OBAMACARE To the Editor: I am writing this because I am fed up with how our young people are treated with this Obamacare. My 20-something, college-graduate daughter was forced to apply for Medicaid because her employer decided “it is better we stop your insurance so you can find something better.”

Due to the fact that her employer does not pay her enough, or give her full-time

status, Obamacare website told her to apply for Medicaid. This is now going into the third month she has been waiting for her insurance, and when she checks it’s still pending.

When will Illinois and U.S. governments get it through their heads they are not helping the next generation, but with Obamacare have put them in a position to be dependent on what the governments hand out.

So thank you Obama for push-

ing this thing through. Thank you big companies for finding if you only let people work part time and then don’t offer any benefits that the young college graduates in America will also become dependent for government handouts. And thank you state of Illinois for my daughter to be uninsured for who knows how long.

That represented, by the way, Schlesinger published his a substantial improvement “The Imperial Presidency,”

aimed in large measure at Nixon.

Truman’s revival was sealed less than two decades later when the historian David McCullough published his Pulitzer Prize-winning biography of the man whose hometown of Independence seemed to be a description of his character. Suddenly Truman, regarded as an accidental president who was also accident-prone, took on a heroic aura, one that persists to this day.

In the Quinnipiac survey, zero percent of Americans singled out Truman as the worst of the last dozen presidents.

That figure applies to Republicans as well as Democrats.

Now have a look at George H.W. Bush, who was soundly defeated for re-election only 22 years ago, dismissed as a fusty symbol of the past and considered out of touch with the public, a hopeless elitist with an awkward bedside manner.

This summer, Bush, at 90 a beloved figure and an unas-

sailable symbol of American prudence, wisdom and grace, was considered the worst president by only 2 percent.

The same phenomenon applies to the man who defeated him in 1992, Bill Clinton, who left office with unusually high ratings for a president who had been impeached. Eight years ago, 16 percent of those surveyed considered him the worst president. This summer, only 3 percent do.

One final example: Dwight Eisenhower, regarded as a duffer at his departure from the White House, so much so that John F. Kennedy, who tried to make vigor a qualification for leadership, used Eisenhower as a foil. Today, only 1 percent of Americans surveyed consider Eisenhower the worst president. The revival of his reputation was begun by Fred I. Greenstein’s “The Hidden-Hand Presidency” – and by the realization that, aside from wrapping up the Korean War, which he inherited, he sent few Amer-

icans into combat during his two terms in office.

The message here is not that Obama isn’t troubled as he rounds the clubhouse curve and heads toward his seventh year in office. It is that Americans’ judgments aren’t final.

“I knew from the bitter experience of all public men from Washington on down, that democracies are fickle and heartless, for democracy is a harsh employer,” said the 31st president after he was defeated for re-election. Herbert Hoover, who lost the 1932 presidential race to Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is still waiting for redemption. But most of his successors have won it.

So, too, might George W. Bush and Barack Obama – both hired twice by the country’s harshest employers.

Smith: Expect a quality race

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, July 18, 2014

Points leader hoping to find the magic at Chicagoland Speedway

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Regan Smith had rides in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and the Camping World Truck Series before his 20th birthday.

Now 30, he also has experience racing in the Sprint Cup Series. He won the Southern 500 at Darlington in May of 2011 after having an apparent victory in the 2008 AMP Energy 500 at Talladega erased because of a rule violation.

In the last year and a half, he consistently has produced positive results driving the No. 7 Chevrolet of JR Motorsports in the Nationwide Series.

In fact, he arrives in Joliet for Saturday night’s EnjoyIllinois300.com at Chicagoland Speedway as the series points leader.

Kasey Kahne and Kyle Larson will run here as well in the event scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m., but not most of the rest of the Sprint Cup contingent that competes in Nationwide.

They are enjoying their rare week off.

However, Smith said that will not affect the caliber of racing Joliet area fans will see.

“The quality of racing in the two series is the same,” he said. “You have guys out here in Nationwide who are hungry, you have the mixture of Cup guys, veterans and young guys trying to be noticed. They have different agendas at different stages of their careers.

“Sometimes the Cup guys run up front, sometimes not. Both series at this point are ultra competitive. The big difference is Nationwide as a whole is more inexperienced. Sometimes with that comes enthusiasm that could cause drama. There’s always some passion.”

A couple of years ago, NASCAR instituted the system where each driver accumulates points only in Sprint Cup or in Nationwide. No longer can a driver compete for titles in both.

“NASCAR needed to do that,” Smith said. “You want Nationwide and Cup championships.

“That said, there are 50 million reasons it’s good the way it’s set up and 50 million reasons it’s bad. The debate will be ongoing for years to come, and even if a new ruling comes down, we’ll still debate it.”

Coming off a third-place finish in

“I feel I’ve been a little better on the shorter tracks in general, but I enjoy the mile-and-a-halfs, too. Whatever the distance, there are variations track to track. It’s not like football where everyone plays on a 100-yard field and they’re all the same.”

Regan Smith Driver of the No. 7 Ragu Chevrolet Smith, of course, would like to get back into the Sprint Cup Series on a steady basis.

“I haven’t run any Cup races this year,” he said. “I ran one last year.

“I tested a car just the other day. I like that little extra horsepower. I’d like to get into Sprint Cup and see how my driving style matches up there.”

That said, he has no complaints with life at JR Motorsports.

“I’m fortunate that I was able to hop into a deal in a car that could run up front,” he said. “I stepped into something good. I’ve already grown with JR Motorsports. They’re good people.

“I’ve been dabbling in this [NASCAR racing] for a better part of 10 years. I’ve been around, but the reality is I’m still young. I feel young.”

Smith said he enjoys coming to Chicagoland Speedway, but so far results have not been what he would have wanted.

“None of my races there have been very good yet,” he said. “I have struggled there more than anywhere, and it’s been in a lot of different vehicles.

Our company and team have had good speed there. We know what we have to do, and now we need to put it together.

JOLIET – Things can’t get much tighter in the points battle for the lead in NASCAR’s Nationwide Series heading into the EnjoyIllinois.com 300 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Regan Smith leads the way with 611 points, which is just eight in front of Elliott Sadler while rookie Chase Elliott is right behind with 598 points.

Rookie Ty Dillon (577), Brian Scott (560) and Trevor Bayne (553) are next in line going into Saturday’s 7:30 p.m. race.

With most of the Sprint Cup competitors taking the week off before heading to Indianapolis, several Nationwide drivers have a good opportunity to capture an elusive victory.

Smith’s lone victory came at Daytona in the opener, and he took second place at that same track two weeks ago. The No. 7 Chevrolet has placed in the topfive four times and leads the series with 15 top-10 efforts. He and Elliott are teammates at JR Motorsports.

Sadler, who competes in the number 11 Toyota for Joe Gibbs Racing, picked up his only win on May 3 at Talladega and the last of his five top-five efforts two weeks later at Iowa.

Elliott, the 18-year old son of NASCAR legend Bill Elliott who’s in the number 9 Chevrolet, claimed back-to-back titles at Texas and Darlington in April in addition to a series-best seven top-five finishes.

“It should be a fun weekend for the Nationwide Series being the only NASCAR race going on, plus it’s on Saturday night, which is awesome,” Elliott said on www.jrmracing.com. “I love running under the lights. It’ll be my first time at Chicagoland Speedway. It looks like a fun track with a lot of character, so hopefully it will be a good show for the fans.”

JR Motorsports has another driver in the race, Kasey Kahne, who ranks 17th in the Sprint Cup standings with seven top-10 showings. This is his first standalone Nationwide race he’s been in since 2006.

Kahne’s number 5 Chevrolet moved from eighth to first in the last two laps to beat out Smith by .021 seconds to claim top honors in the most-recent event at Daytona.

“I don’t have a lot of opportunities to run for JRM this year, so when the Chicagoland race became available, I jumped on it,” Kahne said on www.jrmracing.com. “I have a blast driving their cars, so off weekend or not, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get in the Great Clips Chevy.”

Dillon and Scott, who race for Richard Childress, and Bayne, who’s part of Roush Fenway, are all looking for their initial victories of the season.

Brendan Gaughan, who ranks seventh in points and also competes for Childress, won a title a month ago at Road America.

Kyle Larson, who ranks 14th in the Sprint Cup standings, has finished in the top 10 in all six of his Nationwide races, including a victory in his first event at Charlotte.

Smith, Sadler, Scott and Chris Buescher qualified for the second of the four Dash 4 Cash races, which pays out $100,000 to the top finisher among them.

Smith won that amount last week at New Hampshire and is the only driver still eligible for the $600,000 bonus.

Practice sessions take place today from 2:30-3:20 p.m. and 5:30-7 p.m. with qualifying set for 3:10 p.m. on Saturday, all of which will be shown by Fox Sports. The 200-lap main event on the 1.5-mile track will be shown by ESPN2 with coverage beginning at 7 p.m.

The EnjoyIllinois.com 300 will be preceded by the ARCA Ansell ActivArmr 150 at 5 p.m.

The 100-lap event, which has its qualifying at 1:30 p.m, will be shown on Fox Sports.

Grant Enfinger, who has won four times this season in the ARCA series, owns the points lead by a slim 2665-2655 margin over Mason Mitchell, who has yet to win this year but is the only driver to place in the top 10 in all 10 races.

PHIL LAWLER CLASSIC: JOLIET CATHOLIC 12, SANDBURG 5

Dalesandro, JCA claim regional crown

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, July 18, 2014

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Nobody ever said it had to be pretty.

Joliet Catholic did what it had to do Thursday night in knocking off Sandburg, 12-5, in the championship game of the Lockport Regional in the Phil Lawler Classic summer baseball tournament.

As for style points, uh, probably not many. Still, the Hilltoppers (15-0) advance to the state tournament game at 4 p.m. Monday at Benedictine University against the winner of the Prairie Ridge vs. Warren game. This marks JCA’s second trip to state in three summers.

Senior right-hander Nick Dalesandro recovered enough from the beating he took behind the plate Monday, when he caught Drake Fellows’ 1-0 shutout of Lincoln-Way North, to pitch five innings and get he victory.

He allowed five runs, and all five were unearned. The Hilltoppers committed four errors behind him in the third inning, including two that put the first two batters on base, as Sandburg (14-3) rallied from a 5-0 deficit, tying the game at 5.

JCA finished with five errors, and until the third inning, the Hilltoppers had allowed one run in 23 regional innings.

“It was a good team victory,” Dalesandro said. “We had players make a couple mistakes, but they picked each other up. I went out there and

However, the Eagles had used up their top-line pitching earlier in the regional, and the Hilltoppers took advantage of the freebies they received.

Sandburg pitching walked nine batters and hit one, and the Eagles’ catcher committed four passed balls and one of his team’s four errors JCA re-established control in the bottom of the fourth two hits, four walks and two inning, scoring five runs on errors. Connor Brandon, who

had doubled in a three-run second inning, hit a two-run

single in fourth.

Mike Quiram was on base four times with two hits and two walks and also pitched the final two innings, allowing no runs on one hit. He struck out the final two hitters to end the game.

“We played hard,” Quiram said. “I was a little messy there at second base for a bit, but my teammates picked me up.

“I got behind at the plate a couple of times, and all I did was stay back and drive it into right.”

Dalesandro was touched for seven hits in his five innings. He struck out seven and walked two. He pulled off the ultimate in the second inning, striking out the side on nine pitches. He also hit the ball well four times and had two long sacrifice flies to support his own cause.

Fellows doubled in a run.

Sophomore KC Simonich continued to hit the ball hard and had a hit, sacrifice and walk.

Mitch Boe and Keegan Tyrell set the table at the top of the order, each reaching base three times.

“When you play four games in a row, sometimes these games are this way,” JCA coach Jared Voss said. “Sandburg is a great traditional program.

“Nick [Dalesandro] did a good job. Unfortunately, we left some plays out there on the field. Mike [Quiram] has been working as our closer all season and got an extended two innings tonight. He did a good job.”

West wins All-Star Game; Slammers home SUBMITTED REPORTS SAUGET – The Frontier League All-Star Game belonged to the pitchers from start to finish.

The West, which includes the Joliet Slammers, grabbed a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning at press time Wednesday night, and that’s exactly where things stayed as

the West won, 2-0.

There were 10 hits total in the game, with the East getting six. The two Slammers to appear, Russell Moldenhauer and Grant DeBruin, were hitless. Moldenhauer was 0 for 2 and DeBruin 0 for 1 with a walk.

Joliet left-hander Blair Walter was selected to the West team, but he signed with

the Atlanta Braves in a deal announced earlier Wednesday.

Joliet will open the second half of the season at 7:05 p.m.

Friday against Windy City at Silver Cross Field. It will be a Fireworks Friday and a Zombie Night. Saturday’s 6:05 start will be a Saturday Night Live and a Girls Scout and Family Sleepover Night. Sunday’s 1:05

start will be a Family Day and Cancer Survivors Day. The Slammers will host Traverse City on Monday through Wednesday to conclude the homestand. The Beach Bums earlier this month signed right-handed pitcher Scott Vachon, a Plainfield North graduate. In four relief appearances covering seven innings, he is 0-1 with

a 6.42 ERA. He has allowed 11 hits, six runs (five earned) and three walks while striking out four.

Vachon had been pitching for the Joliet Dirtbags of the Chicago Suburban Baseball League.

There he was 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA in 191⁄3 innings. He had allowed eight hits and two walks while striking out 24.

Although last season was the first time since his second year in the league in 2004 that he missed more than two games, he turned 33 in February, and there are questions about how much he has left in the tank.

With experienced nickels in Hayden and Frey ready for action, it’s curious the Bears have decided to move Jennings to the nickel after consecutive Pro Bowl seasons.

We can only assume it’s a strong comment on how certain the Bears seem to be they’ve found a gem in Fuller, who’s being given the other outside cornerback spot when the Bears go with three cornerbacks before ever playing a down in the league. At 6-foot, Fuller has four inches on Jennings to go head-to-head with the league’s new breed of long receivers, and Jennings, despite his lack of size, is probably the Bears’ best run-stuffer in the secondary and should help the run defense at the

Position battles: Because the Bears spend so much time in the nickel, it’s uncertain how much dime defense they’ll play, but it appears to be the only spot left for Hayden, Frey, Hurst and Wilson.

With Jennings also in his 30s and Hayden over that hump too, the Bears probably would love to develop Hurst, Wilson or one of their rookie free agents, but Hayden will be tough to beat for the dime and backup nickel spots if he’s healthy.

Contract situations: Tim Jennings has a new four-year deal after testing free agency, but Tillman, who also was a free agent this offseason, received one more year on his new deal. If Tillman stays healthy and returns to his form of 2012 and the first half of 2013, the Bears will have to re-sign him and it’s unlikely he’d accept a second straight one-year offer.

Keep an eye on: We all know how hard it is for undrafted free agents to hang on, but both Wilson and Hurst did last year and the Bears love the tangibles of Louis-Jean. At 6-1, 187 pounds, he’s got the length clubs are looking for these days on the corner, and I’m hearing he’ll be given every chance to claim the fifth cornerback spot. The Bears have carried six at times, but with their needs at safety and no clear answers, five safeties and five cornerbacks seems likely out of training camp.

The other guy to watch is Tillman. If he gets banged up again or appears to have lost a step, it will make it extremely difficult for the secondary to take a big step forward over past year.

the only teams in the NFL that can boast two Pro Bowl cornerbacks as its starters, but that’s exactly what they have in Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings.

As if that wasn’t enough of an embarrassment of riches, they also used their first-round pick in the 2014 draft to grab another corner, Kyle Fuller out of Virginia Tech, the 14th player chosen overall.

Kelvin Hayden had an excellent season as the Bears’ starting nickel in 2012 and returns this year after missing all of 2013 with a torn hamstring.

Hayden’s 2013 replacement at the nickel, Isaiah Frey, is back as well, and he’s joined by returning veteran special teams ace Sherrick McManis, practice squad players C.J. Wilson and Demontre Hurst and undrafted rookie free-agents Al Louis-Jean and Derricus Purdy.

In many respects, Tillman is the key to the Bears’ entire defense because of his unique abilities to take the football away and score points off turnovers. He is the best player in the NFL at forcing fumbles – he had an amazing 10 in 2012 alone. He was playing at a Pro Bowl level when he was injured last year against the Redskins and

ynamic. Class exclusive.

Refined. Aggressive.

Luxurious. Powerful. Efficient.

Platitudes can be piled on the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200C – the top tier in the 200 lineup now available at dealerships – and there is no doubt the automaker intends it to be the clear leader among mid-size sedans.

“The all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 delivers the premium features customers want at a price they can afford,” said Al Gardner, President and CEO - Chrysler Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “The new Chrysler 200 is raising the bar for what customers should expect from a mid-size sedan.”

The five-passenger 200C is all of that. Start with design. The exterior blends coupe-like proportions with a dynamic stance, wind-swept profile, sculpted curves and aggressive wheelto-body proportions.

Then there’s power. The 184-horsepower 2.4-liter Tigershark MultiAir II four-cylinder engine delivers an impressive 36 highway mpg without sacrificing performance. The available Best-in-Class 295-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine is also highly efficient, providing 32 highway mpg. The 200 is also available with all-wheel drive with another exclusive, a fully disconnecting rear axle that improves fuel economy by operating in front-wheel drive when all-wheel drive is not needed.

Luxury and refinement are honored by WardAuto, which has named the 200 as one if its “10 Best Interiors for 2014, as a 2015 model introduced this year.” Interior trim and materials are well-crafted, pleasing to the eye, and soft to the touch with world-class levels of fit and finish.

Multimedia touchscreens and controls increasingly influence customers’ overall quality satisfaction. The 200 features a

7-inch touchscreen that displays audio, digital speedometer, compass, temperature, fuel economy, trip computer, navigation, tire pressure monitor, maintenance notifications and engine performance. The awardwinning Uconnect 5.0 system is standard; Uconnect 8.4 is available with a Navigation and Sound Group and 8.4-inch screen.

Rear Back Up Camera with gridlines provides a wide-angle view of the area behind your vehicle and displays it on the Uconnect screen.

The 200 is also available in LX, Limited and 200S models.

Trunk space is a respectable 14.5 cubic feet. The warranty is 5 years/100,000 miles on the powertrain, more proof that Chrysler intends this vehicle to lead.

‘They’ll knock your socks off’ Local talent to perform in vocal competition at Rialto Square Theatre

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet area has some fantastically talent individuals.

So says Lynne Lichtenauer, co-producer of the Rialto Idol and Rialto Junior Idol shows – and she promises audiences will be awed by those taking part.

“They’ll knock your socks off,” Lichtenauer said. “’The Voice’ and ‘America’s Got Talent’ don’t have anything on us.”

This year’s event is seeing a number of firsts. This is the first time competition will be held as its own event. Historically this vocal competition was held during November’s Festival of Trees, Lichtenauer said.

So this is the first Rialto Idol and Rialto Idol Junior since 2012.

This year also was the first time contestants – all 135 of them – auditioned live, she added. In previous years, prospective candidates submitted videos of them performing.

For the 2014 event, they auditioned before a panel of professional judges.

“The chance to sing on the Rialto stage appeals to many of the contestants,” Lichtenauer said. “A live audition can also be very scary, especially for the little ones, but their stage presence was just amazing.”

Eventually, judges whittled down contestants to 20 Rialto Idol finalists and 20 Rialto Junior finalists, Lichtenauer said. Cash prizes, along with the opportunity to open an upcoming concert, will be awarded to each age category.

What stays the same is the fun.

Both Rialto Idol and Rialto Idol Junior competitions are lively and exciting, Lichtenauer said, especially with the audience rooting and clapping for their favorite singers.

“We have a great audience,” Lichtenauer said. “They applaud and cheer for everyone.”

Also returning this year as emcees is Mary Lancaster and State

Lichtenauer – the “Lynne” member of the trio – will be busy overseeing the events with co-producer Lori Carmine, technical director at the Rialto Square Theatre.

Expect each show to run 90 minutes to two hours, with a 15 to 20 minute intermission, Lichtenauer said.

Possibly the best part of the productions is watching local residents entertain enthusiastic audiences on the same stage once graced by Bob Hope, Groucho Marx, George Burns and Gracie Allen.

“They can look out into the beautiful theater and know this is the big time,” Lichtenauer said. “That’s the motivation, plus the experience. The more they do these things, the more professional they become.”

From left to right are Andrew Payne, Jeff Julian, Brennen Chouinard and William Aldridge. five microphones and the next day you’re down to two,” Julian said. “Or maybe they need new speakers.”

Normally when a band plays a venue, members split the cover charge among each other, Julian said. On Saturday, however, the bands will donate the cover proceeds to the Triznas, to spend at their discretion.

“It’s completely up to them,” Julian said.

Julian said when he talked to Mike and Kathy, they were humbled by the bands’ outpouring of appreciation.

In a way, Julian feels, the Triznas have much in common with the musicians they support.

“Running a small business is tough. I don’t think you can be thanked enough,” Julian said. ‘They were grateful and probably thinking we don’t need to do this. But we want

to do it.”

By giving local musicians with original material a performing platform and the opportunity to grow a fan base, Julian said, Chicago Street Pub does the community a valuable service: it creates a unique culture and community.

“That’s important to me as an artist,” Julian said. “I want to invest in a company like that.”

NASCAR driver, diabetes advocate to race at Chicagoland Speedway The HERALD–NEWS NASCAR Nationwide Series driver and Lilly Diabetes ambassador Ryan Reed finished fourth in the Subway Firecracker 250 on July 4 at Daytona International Speedway in Daytona, Florida.

Reed, who was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2011 at age 17, was told he never would race again.

However, once he learned about the disease and strategies for proper management, he became a full-time driver for Roush Fenway Racing and an advocate for diabetes awareness.

Reed is racing in the En-

JOLIET – Thank you.

They’re just two small simple words, easily said.

And a group of Joliet area musicians are saying them in a big way Saturday when they host a benefit concert for Mike and Kathy Trizna, owners of Chicago Street Pub. No, neither the Triznas nor the pub are having problems, financial or otherwise, said former Joliet resident Jeff Julian, concert organizer.

But with all the buzz these days about “shop local” and “support local artists,” Julian wanted to pay tribute and raise a few dollars for a Joliet business that consistently does just that.

Because, Julian added, there’s more to supporting musicians who write and perform original music than simply opening the doors.

Owners of venues such as the Chicago Street Pub have costs the public does not see, such as purchasing – and replacing – costly equipment.

Not only do pieces break, they sometimes disappear, quite by accident, Julian said.

That can be especially true with smaller items such as guitar or microphone cords, which can get packed up in the wrong bag.

school orchestra students The HERALD–NEWS NEW LENOX – The 85plus orchestra students from Lincoln-Way Central and Lincoln-Way West tuned up their instruments in anticipation of their second semester visit from Maestro David Danzmayr and Executive Director Andrew Bradford from the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra.

On May 14, Danzmayr and Bradford visited with students from Lincoln-Way Central and West. In addition, the next day, Bradford and IPO soloist Anna Lee, from the Saturday concert performance, visited with students from Lincoln-Way East and Lincoln-Way North.

Maestro Danzmayr led the orchestra students as they rehearsed their spring concert pieces “Finlandia” and “The Lord of the Rings.”

Lee, 18, violin soloist for the IPO concert, gave a special ses-

sion with orchestra students from East and North on Thursday in the band room at North.

Lee played for the students, then gave a public master class/coaching to two talented violinists in the East/North orchestra.

East orchestra student Brooke Braun, a junior, played a piece, then Lee gave her some advice about posture and the physical challenges for a violist and how to help strengthen her arms for all the practicing and playing she does.

North orchestra student Katherine Reynolds had just completed running the mile in her physical education class when she ran down to third hour orchestra class to hear Lee and be a part of the master class.

Danzmayr is in his second year as the music director for the Illinois Philharmonic Orchestra.

engine is damaged and he may never race again, he joins forces with fire and rescue helicopter Blade Ranger and his team, The Smokejumpers, to battle a massive wildfire.

RATED: PG for action and some peril TIME: 1 hour, 23 minutes VERDICT: Before the final credits roll on “Planes: Fire & Rescue,” my 7-year-old turns and says to me: “If they come out with a toy of that, can I get it?” Well played, Disney.

On some level, even a kid knows this unnecessary sequel to last summer’s unimaginative “Planes” is a merchandising money grab. While slightly superior to the original – not hard to do – the animated 3-D adventure comes courtesy of first-time feature director Roberts Gannaway and writer Jeffrey M. Howard. The story is stiff, like one long episode of “Thomas The Tank Engine.” But they’ve upped the ante on making Mom and Dad smile, incorporating silly puns and one liners, such as a pickup’s pick-up line: “Did you fall out of a B-17? Cuz you’re the bomb.” The animation is lush and colorful, but that alone won’t keep antsy children planted in seats. Neither will the clichéd story of overcoming impossible odds and facing fears. But the movie earns points with a couple of majestic flying scenes, including one set to AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” showing the gang flying high and swooping down to extinguish a wild fire. It’s as close to thrilling as the action gets. When we catch up with Dusty (voiced by Dane Cook), the little-crop-duster-that-could, he is the reigning Wings Around the Globe race champion. He’s famous – and loving it. His celebrity is a boost to the upcoming Corn Festival in Prop Wash Junction. Life is good. Until it’s not. Dusty suffers a career-ending gearbox failure. He also sparks a fire that brings emergency inspectors TMST (This Means Serious Trouble) to investigate after Prop Wash’s fire engine, the old-timer Mayday (Hal Holbrook), also poops out. The findings: Mayday needs fixing and the town, a second firefighter – or ixnay the Corn Festival. Guess who steps to the plate? Off goes Dusty to the Piston Peak Air Attack training facility to get certified. There, he meets up with the flirty float plane, Lil Dipper (Julie Bowen), a muscle-head helicopter in Windlifter (Wes Studi), and the gruff mentor Blade Ranger

(Ed Harris), who aims to school the overconfident Dusty on the ways of S.E.A.T. (Single Engine Aerial Tanker).

Their dynamic is a rip-off of Lightning McQueen and Doc Hudson from “Cars,” right down to a bit of hidden past glory on behalf of Blade Ranger.

In one of the film’s more inspired moments, we learn Blade Ranger once starred on “CHoPS,” a parody the early ’80s TV cop drama “ChiPS.” Erik Estrada even lends his voice as Blade Ranger’s partner Nick “Loop’n” Lopez. That bit certainly amused the parents but flew right over the heads of the kiddies, who seemed more interested in buying toys than seeing a movie that never takes flight.– More

“THE PURGE: ANARCHY” STARRING: Frank Grillo, Carmen Ejogo, Zach Gilford

PLOT: A husband and wife are driving home to their kids when their car runs out of gas just as the Purge commences. Meanwhile, Leo goes out into the streets to get revenge on the man who killed his son, and a mother and daughter run from their home after assailants destroy it. The five people meet up as they attempt to survive the night in Los Angeles.

RATED: R for strong disturbing violence and for language VERDICT: There’s a lot more purging going on in this inevitable sequel to last summer’s surprise horror hit “The Purge.” Expanding the parameters of the low-budget original by taking the action literally out into the streets, “The Purge: Anarchy” efficiently exploits its high-concept premise while delivering far more visceral thrills.

Like it or not, a new franchise seems to have been born. Set 10 years in the future, the film written and directed

by James DeMonaco (repeating his chores from the original) again takes place during the annual Purge, a government-sanctioned 12-hour period in which ordinary citizens are allowed to commit heinous crimes with no fear of punishment. Created as a way to allow people to indulge their basest instincts so as to keep the crime rate down the rest of the year, participants are urged to “have a good cleanse” while those seeking shelter from the nihilistic mayhem are constantly advising each other to “stay safe.” The latter is exactly what most of the featured main characters

are trying to do, including single mother Eva (Carmen Ejogo), her feisty 16-year-old daughter Cali (Zoe Soul) and bickering married couple Shane (Zach Gilford) and Liz (Kiele Sanchez). The exception is Leo (Frank Grillo), a loner who, outfitted with an armor-plated car and loads of weaponry, heads out into the night for reasons of his own. For contrived reasons too convoluted to explicate, Leo becomes the reluctant and unlikely protector of the other four when they find themselves trapped outside during the violence-filled night.

While the first film was essentially an elaborate home invasion thriller, this follow-up more closely resembles a John Carpenter-style action movie with its plethora of well-staged, ultra-violent set pieces. And while character development is clearly not a high priority, the principal figures are a generally engaging and sympathetic lot, with Grillo’s steely Leo particularly intriguing. More interestingly, the film expands on the original premise by introducing racial and class-conscious themes into the storyline. While the film would have gained resonance if these provocative ideas had been developed more fully, it works well enough on its own terms. – The Associated Press

“SEX TAPE” STARRING: Jason Segel, Cameron Diaz, Rob Corddry

PLOT: A married couple wake up to discover that the sex tape they made the evening before has gone missing, leading to a frantic search for its whereabouts.

RATED: R for strong sexual content, nudity, language and some drug use TIME: 1 hour, 34 minutes VERDICT: The high-concept comedies spawned by “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” need to start using birth control. Judd Apatow’s landmark film rightfully ushered in a new era in comedy, but it has also inspired a now sizable cottage industry of thin movies (“The Hangover,” “The FiveYear Engagement,” “Bad Teacher,” “Horrible Bosses,” “The Other Woman”) with concepts boasting good titles but shallow stories. Of these, only one (“The Five-Year Engagement”) had Apatow’s imprimatur. He and his cohorts have mostly moved on to telling stories about various seminal chapters of life – child birth (“Knocked Up”), highschool graduation (“Superbad”),

young parenthood (“Neighbors”), 30s singledom (“Bridesmaids”), middle age (“This Is 40”) – and many of these make up some of the best comedies of the past decade.

“Sex Tape,” however, belongs to the former group and it marks a low point despite coming from several Apatow acolytes. It’s directed by Jake Kasdan, a consulting producer on “Freaks and Geeks” who went on to direct “Bad Teacher.” “Sex Tape” reteams that film’s lead duo, Jason Segel (a near constant in Apatow-land) and Cameron Diaz, the always game, wide-smiling muse for what’s now been several generations of comedy. A screwball that takes its genre literally, “Sex Tape” is about a West L.A. married couple, Annie (Diaz) and Jay (Segel), trying to reawaken their love life after years of marriage and two kids. Following failed attempts with double-knotted roller skates and new venues like the kitchen floor (“I can see my to-do list,” says Annie), they settle on making a porn for themselves that tours through the positions of “The Joy of Sex.” In the first of many outlandish plot twists, Jay hands out his old iPads like party favors at a get-together of friends and family.

Hours afterward, an anonymous text makes him realize that each iPad has their video stored on it, due to a syncing app he favors. The technological premise has already been debunked, but that’s a minor issue for the movie. While this set-up could have gone somewhere interesting (shouldn’t the video go viral?), the screenplay by Segel, his writer partners Nicholas Stoller (the director of the far superior and somewhat similarly themed “Neighbors”) and Kate Angelo bizarrely settles for a suburban nighttime odyssey wherein Jay and Annie try to take back the iPads. In short, it’s a PG plot for an X-rated story. To its credit, there’s a lightness to the film, and the performers are uniformly likable. “Sex Tape” tries to somehow bridge the gap between the traditional romantic comedy and today’s porn-addled digital world. It’s a valiant effort, and there is something – though only very little – of Cary Grant’s scampering in “Bringing Up Baby” to Segel’s mishaps around the CEO’s mansion. But “Sex Tape” doesn’t sync.– The Associated

cally evolved apes led by Caesar is threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. They reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived as both sides are brought to the brink of war that will determine who will emerge as Earth’s dominant species.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action and brief strong language TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: The biggest uprising in the sequel to 2011’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is by its digitally created, nonhuman characters. Hail Caesar. That’s the ape played by Andy Serkis, the motion-capture maestro of creatures like Gollum and a much bigger ape, Kong. Serkis played Caesar in “Rise of the Planet Apes,” the surprisingly good origin story of the rebooted “Apes” franchise.

“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” belongs to the monkeys. Given that the apes communicate in sign language and spurts of English, this may be the biggest summer movie with so many subtitles. Whereas Pierre Boulle’s original “Planet of the Apes” was satirical, director Matt Reeves (“Cloverfield”) and screenwriters Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Mark Bomback have given this “Apes” the grandly gloomy “Dark Knight” treatment, complete with an exceptional score

by Michael Giacchino. There’s a pervasive jealousy to the primates in “Apes”: their comfort in nature and simplicity of life. Audiences, in fact, will cheer the animals over the humans. But there’s also a question of putting too much gravity on an essentially absurd story. Eventually, we have screaming monkeys on horseback firing automatic weapons amid roaring flames. If there’s a failing of “Apes,” it’s that it feels like yet another manufactured franchise. Talented people like Reeves and Serkis are brought in like HGTV fixer-uppers to restore mossy pop-culture properties. But, alas, they’re very good at it.– The

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Two players read the opening lead

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Henny Youngman, a violinist well known for humorous one-liners, said, “When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.”

That does not sound like a good idea. At the bridge table, reading is very important. In particular, third hand and declarer should read the opening lead, working out what the leader has in that suit.

In this example deal, how should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the heart nine in answer to his partner’s overcall in the suit?

The North-South bidding was a tad aggressive, but we all love that vulnerable game bonus.

South starts with four potential losers: two diamonds and two clubs. However, given East’s bid, it is tempting to assume that he has the club ace. But if, say, South takes the first trick with his heart jack, draws trumps, and plays a diamond, East can win and shift to the club queen to defeat the contract.

What does the heart-nine lead indicate?

That East has the heart king and 10. How does that help?

South should cover the nine with dummy’s queen and take East’s king with his ace. Then, after drawing trumps ending in the dummy, South plays a heart to his eight and discards a club from the dummy on the heart jack. South takes five spades, three hearts, one diamond and an eventual club ruff in the dummy.

Note that if South calls for dummy’s heart four at trick one, East should not play third hand high; he should play low, not wasting an honor when declarer is marked with the heart jack and ace.

ADVICE Son decides life on the open road isn’t for him Dear Abby: For years, my wife and I were RV enthusiasts. We have a son who was envious about our lifestyle and expressed a desire to own an RV and travel the highways. When we decided to give up the practice, we gave our travel trailer to him as a gift.

The trailer has been sitting on his property for more than a year now and has never been moved.

He has kept the license and insurance fees current. He recently told us he has changed his mind and is no longer interested in traveling with it. He has offered it back to us.

We have decided to sell it and wonder what, if any, moral obligation we have to share the proceeds of the sale with our son. Your thoughts? – Homebound Out West Dear Homebound: You gave your son the RV as a gift; he is returning it to you instead of selling it himself. While I think it would be generous of you to split the pro-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ceeds with your son, I don’t think you must.

Dear Abby: My wife of 17 years just told me out of the blue that she doesn’t love me anymore and hasn’t for some time. To say that this came as a shock is an understatement. We’ve had our disagreements, but we always worked through them, or so I thought.

Because she has felt this way for some time now, she has hardly shed a tear. For me, my heart is broken. I feel lost, confused, angry, depressed and I can’t stop crying.

I wish I could die, but we have children and I know I can’t leave them. We made a pact years ago that if we ever fell out of love we’d stay together for the kids until

they were grown. Now I don’t know if it was a lie or if she’ll keep her promise.

Please tell me what to do. – Devastated In Tempe, Ariz.

Dear Devastated: I am sorry for the pain you are feeling. What you must do now is pull yourself together and find out from your wife when it was that the two of you stopped communicating honestly with each other – because it seems your paths diverged some time ago. She owes you honest answers, and you need to hear them.

After that, you may have to decide whether you still WANT her to honor that long-ago promise to stay together until your children are adults. You might find it helpful to stage some of these conversations in the office of a licensed marriage and family counselor.

New treatments hold promise for those with hepatitis C Dear Doctor K: My son has a hepatitis C infection, based on a blood test. The doctor says he’s OK now, but could someday become seriously ill. I hear there are new treatments for hepatitis C. Is there reason for optimism?

Dear Reader: Hepatitis C is caused by a viral infection that inflames and damages the liver. (“Hepatitis” means inflammation of the liver.) The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is usually transmitted through contact with infected blood. HCV can cause short-term (acute) or long-term (chronic) hepatitis C. Most people with acute hepatitis C eventually develop chronic hepatitis C. Hepatitis C may not cause symptoms for 20, even 30, years.

Unless they are tested for the virus, many people do not even know that they are infected.

But even without causing symptoms, the virus often is slowly damaging the liver. Eventually, some people develop symptoms such as weight loss, fatigue or aching joints. Hepatitis C virus infections also can lead to cirrhosis (scar tissue in the liver) and liver cancer. (On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put an illustration showing how HCV damages the liver.)

Not everyone infected with

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff hepatitis C needs treatment. For those who do, the treatment can cause unpleasant symptoms. Until recently, treatment involved up to a year of weekly injections with peginterferon. This is a man-made form of an antiviral substance produced by the immune system called interferon. Side effects include depression, anxiety, anemia and fatigue.

Peginterferon is taken in combination with ribavirin (Virazole), an antiviral drug. The effectiveness of this drug combination varies based on the subtype of the virus you have. (Once you are diagnosed with hepatitis C, blood tests determine your subtype. In the United States, the most common subtype is genotype 1.)

In 2011, the FDA approved two new antiviral drugs that could be taken by mouth. Either of these drugs taken with peginterferon and ribavirin eliminates HCV in up to 90 percent of patients with genotype 1.

In more good news, two studies published earlier this year report that a combination of several oral

antiviral drugs clears the virus from the liver in more than 95 percent of people – in just 12 weeks.

Quite a number of viruses infect the liver and can cause serious disease. When I was in medical school, we hadn’t yet discovered most of the viruses that cause hepatitis, and the ones we had discovered accounted for only a small fraction of all cases.

The discovery of the two viruses that cause the most serious liver disease, hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus, has been the result of brilliant and painstaking research by many people. This discovery has led to blood tests to diagnose the viruses. Research also has led to a vaccine for hepatitis B, and to the powerful new treatments for hepatitis C virus that you asked about. This research has been funded by a combination of tax dollars and investment by the pharmaceutical industry.

So, to answer your question, I believe there is reason for optimism. Your son should discuss these newer treatment options with his doctor.

Helpful test-taking suggestions Dear Teens: You have taken many tests during your educational career, and you are bound to take many more. Dr. Edward Newman, a Los Angeles psychotherapist who counsels teens, wants to offer some useful suggestions on how to do your very best when taking a test.

Dr. Newman says to first read through a test and to answer all the questions you are positive that you know.

This will build your confidence and focus your thinking. Next, go back and work on those questions you are fairly sure you know the answers to. Answer all of these. Finally, spend the remaining time on the questions that stump you. Compare these questions to the ones you have already answered. How might they be similar? Is there a pattern to the type of question asked?

Does the subject hint at an answer?

Do everything possible to answer every question whether the test is true or false, multiple choice or essay. Sometimes a teacher will give a student partial credit for an incorrect or incomplete essay question because the student might have impressed the teacher with knowledge on a related area.

Dr. Wallace: I don’t like school because some of my teachers are always picking on me. I think this is very bad. Teachers should be paid to teach, not to make students feel bad.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace ers who demand good behavior, encourage students to do their very best, and who refuse to accept inferior student work, are often accused of “picking on” students. Those of us who love teaching and challenging students have probably been accused of “picking.”

Only we prefer to call it “inspiring.”

Zach, please don’t look on education in negative terms. Of course there are times when most students get frustrated and wonder if becoming educated is really worth the effort.

Believe me when I say that it is worth the effort. A good education is not a guarantee that a good job and a wonderful life will be attained. But it does give you the opportunity to succeed more than if you become a high school dropout.

It’s time for your mother and you to meet with your counselor to discuss your “problem” with some of your teachers. Then, if possible, have mom make an after-school appointment with your teacher to find out what mom and the teacher can do to help you.

Please write to me again and let me know how things are going for you. I care!

‘Yves Saint Laurent’: A tired portrait of a tortured artist

By STEPHANIE MERRY The Washington Post Yves Saint Laurent, as portrayed in the French biopic bearing his name, comes across as two people.

There was Yves before the drugs: Born in Algeria, he was a soft-spoken, painfully shy prodigy who took over the Dior fashion house while he was still in his 20s. And then there was the more uninhibited Yves, a philanderer who snorted cocaine, went out dancing and alienated his closest friends and longtime lover.

Neither of these characters is particularly compelling to watch, especially when the plot follows such a familiar path. A genius battles his demons and comes out the other side.

It is perhaps smart that director Jalil Lespert lets the story be told by the designer’s more likable other half, Pierre Berge (played

by Guillaume Gallienne), a businessman who turns out to be the unexpected hero of “Yves Saint Laurent.” Pierre narrates as if he’s reading a posthumous love letter to the designer (played by Pierre Niney), who died in 2008 after popularizing the Mondrian dress, tuxedoes for women and high-end ready-to-wear clothing.

Pierre is steadfast in his support of his companion.

After Yves has an episode that lands him in a mental hospital, he is fired from Dior. No matter: Pierre makes sure Yves is compensated for his unceremonious termination and helps raise the funds so that Yves can start his own fashion house. From there, the two become business partners, even as their romantic relationship falters.

The Weinstein Company photo

Pierre Niney stars as Yves Saint Laurent in the film by the same name.

Yves suffered from manic depression and addiction problems, and the movie conveys this with an atmosphere that is solemn to the point of being dour. Even the great triumphs seem to remain under a heavy cloud. When one of Yves’ muses, while languishing around a pool with a group of partyers, playfully interrogates him about his favorite things, he responds shyly and awkwardly. Even his happiness feels tempered by a fear of opening up.

The result is a movie

that may be true to the designer’s life, as it’s based on a biography by Laurence Benaim. But it isn’t particularly enjoyable or insightful. Sometimes morose geniuses can be fascinatingly complicated or bewitchingly tortured, but Yves consistently comes across as simply sullen.

Even Pierre admits that the designer was only happy twice a year — during the spring and fall fashion show seasons.

The film is artfully shot with eye candy galore: sumptuous dresses, beau-

tiful people and scenes from Pierre and Yves’ time in Morocco. But for all its visual stimulation, the story does little to awaken emotions. When he wasn’t silent, Yves Saint Laurent could be cruel and selfish.

He may have been a genius, but if he was at all likable, this movie doesn’t show it.

• “Yves Saint Laurent” received one-and-a-half stars out of four. The film is rated R and contains sex, nudity and drug use. It is in French with subtitles and runs 106 minutes.
