Headed for third tour of duty

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – James Cheney said he has become more patriotic since joining the U.S. Army.

Cheney, 26, is headed for his third tour of duty overseas since joining the Army Corps of Engineers in 2009.

He joined the Army after graduating Joliet Central High School. The military appealed to him not only because several relatives were in the military, but because he wanted to test his boundaries.

He has fought in Afghanistan, has been stationed in Germany to train soldiers and supervise weapons and is set to head to Korea this month to train soldiers and handle explosives. While his experiences changed his outlook in ways that caused rifts with his family at times, Cheney said patriotism for the U.S. definitely motivates people like him in the military.

“Everything that I do will revolve around being an American,” he said. “I’ve

spent three years in Germany and I was always wearing something that revolved around America. I never tried to blend into my surroundings.”

What he enjoys about being an American is making decisions without someone else making them for him. On the lighter side, he likes stores that are open 24 hours a day.

“I wish more kids would follow in his footsteps,” said Jim Cheney, his grandfather, “because so many kids don’t know what’s going on in the world and it would be a good thing for them.”

James Cheney always is looking for a challenge and he found one when he became part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. When he was sent to Afghanistan, it was a culture shock.

Cheney spent his time in Afghanistan looking for bombs in roads, where most of the time “the bombs found us.” The bomb detection equipment didn’t always work, he said.

When he first came to Af-

James Cheney ghanistan, he was nervous but in three months he had calmed down. Like other soldiers, he tried not to worry about death since it was not something he could control. He said once every other day he and other soldiers would get into a bad fire fight.

His experience in Afghanistan changed his outlook on life and it ended up destroying some relationships, including the one with his now his exwife.

Police say they have weapon used in Dwight murders SHAW MEDIA DWIGHT – Police say they have recovered the weapon used in the shooting deaths of two women last month.

In a news release sent late Thursday afternoon, Dwight police said the gun has been linked to the homicides.

“The weapon responsible for the murders have been recovered, and ballistics results prove this to be the weapon,” police said in the news release.

Dwight Police Chief Tim

Henson declined to comment beyond what was stated in the news release.

The investigation into the shooting death of two women in their home last month remains active.

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

At 4:38 a.m. June 14, a 911 call brought police to the house at 200 W. North St.,

where a male said he’d been shot. Authorities found 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 call survived.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 815584-3132. The Dwight Village Board and Grundy County CrimeStoppers are offering a combined $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.

ably no emotions,” he said.

“Like I came home for two weeks and my family showed me a video of something on YouTube of someone being killed and they said, ‘What do you think about this?’ ‘[Stuff] happens.’ They were completely baffled by my answer.”

He said some of his family didn’t understand he had just come from a place where death was a regular occurrence and thought he no longer cared about them. He grew close to other people in his family, such as his uncle and father-in-law, who fought in the Vietnam War and the Iraq War, respectively.

In his family, they wouldn’t share war stories until he had his own to share.

“They wouldn’t talk about it until I was actually old enough and understood what they understand,” he said.

Jim Cheney said his grandson is the best guy he knows and is “one heck of a solider.”

He never served in the military himself but he is proud James Cheney wants to make a career out serving his country in the military.

“We’re just proud as hell of what he’s doing,” he said.

Tradition goes back 7 decades

n WHAT: Joliet Fourth of July

Fireworks n WHERE: Joliet Memorial Stadium, 3000 W. Jefferson St. n WHEN: Stadium opens at 8 p.m., with fireworks beginning at 9:20 p.m. n COST: Free

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Look up in the sky Friday night at Joliet Memorial Stadium and you’re likely to see magic balls, green hour glasses, and purple and gold jellyfish.

The psychedelic assault – complete with booms, crackles and plenty of oohs and aahs – signals the annual Fourth of July fireworks display in the city.

“This thing has sustained itself for the last 68 years, and it’s the last free thing in the world,” said Mary Jaworski, executive vice president of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry. “We don’t charge for entry, and we don’t charge for parking.”

The show, which is funded by the Joliet business community and local residents, costs about $30,000 to produce each year, Jaworski said.

Almost canceled Five years ago, at the height of the recession, the show almost was canceled because of lack of funding. The Joliet July 4th Celebration Committee met to look for alternatives to fireworks.

The committee included local businessmen Terry D’Arcy and Steve Randich, the Chamber’s Jaworski and chief executive Russ Slinkard, WJOL-AM’s Scott Slocum and Dominic Egizio, executive director of the Joliet Park District.

“It was like two days later, after we tried to put something else together, that we asked ourselves ‘What did we just do?’ ” Jaworski said. “This doesn’t feel right, this is a tradition we need to keep. We immediately put our minds to it to keep it alive.”

“Terry stepped up and said we’re going to raise the money and do this,” Egizio recalled.

D’Arcy said the group decided that Joliet had been “doing fireworks way too long to let this get in the way.”

“We basically went door to door in the community and among businesses to raise funds,” D’Arcy said. “That’s the neat thing about the town of Joliet – when you put out a call for help, people show up.”

D’Arcy Motors became a major sponsor for the event, along with Rasmussen College and Union Pacific Railroad.

WJOL-AM launched an annual radiothon fundraiser to garner donations.

Since then, funding almost takes care of itself, Jaworski said.

“This business community is so tremendous for stepping up and keeping it alive,” Jaworski said. “I don’t even have to make a phone call, the money just comes in.”

Choreographed display This year’s display will be produced by Melrose Pyrotechnics Inc. of Kingsbury, Indiana, the same company that has overseen the Joliet display for the past 22 years.

• Six petal design: A shell that expands into six distinct petals, with crackles and strobes in the center of the display.

Then there are the old favorites, like the huge shell bursts that fill the night sky, and graceful gold streamers.

“Most of the oohs and aahs come from pattern shells that feature stars and smiley faces,” Kerns said. “And from longer duration stars. They’re usually gold and stay lit for an extended period of time as they come shooting towards the ground.

It gives you a big, beautiful chandelier look. Those always seem to get a lot of attention.”

Hundreds of hours of work go into the display, which will feature about 1,500 aerial shells, Kerns said, everything from 1¼-inch low-level displays to monster six-inch mortar shells the fill the night sky.

About 30 percent of the

display will feature new fireworks not seen before, Kerns said. New displays for this year include: • Magic balls: “They open up to reveal a specific pattern, usually a flower, then disappear and then reappear again,” Kerns said.

• Green hour glasses: Shells that burst in the shape of a figure-8.

• Jellyfish: “The top is green or purple, and then its kind of like a ball shaped like a half circle, with gold arms

The audience for the show fills the stadium. Thousands more set up lawn chairs on Jefferson Street, spread out on picnic blankets at Inwood Golf Course or find other favorite spots in surrounding streets and parking lots.

New this year will be beverage carts set up on the driving range at Inwood Golf Course. The carts will serve alcoholic drinks, pop, water and light snacks, Egizio said.

The course’s club house also will be open for food and drink service.

“The golf course and the park are always packed solid,” Egizio noted.

The event soon will be entering its eighth decade.

“There are people three generations ago that saw these fireworks, and now they have the good fortune to sit there with their grandkids and see it again,” D’Arcy said. “It’s a neat family tradition.”

A head start on the holiday Park district holds annual Plainfield Patriotic Picnic

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Thousands of people gathered for some food, face paint and train rides at the Plainfield Patriotic Picnic Thursday as the event has become a destination point for residents of communities around the village.

For at least the past five years the Plainfield Township Park District has hosted the event, which was held at Plainfield Central High School and is a precursor to fireworks.

“When we stopped hosting Plainfield Fest, we still had to give the community fireworks,” said park district Director of Recreation Cheryl Crisman, who was directing people to the attractions at the pre-fireworks picnic. “This whole day is a great way to just give back to the community.”

Zander Scholz, an 11-yearold who comes every year for his father’s business, said he looks forward to the picnic every year.

“So many people died,” Scholz said about the military.

“It’s to honor those troops.”

Five giant inflatable rides lay at the east end of the high school’s south parking lot close to a food stand.

Emergency vehicles were on display for kids to climb in and experience the thrill of

what police, fire, SWAT and EMT personnel face on the job. Kids yelled out as a Life Flight helicopter landed south of the parking lot, allowing kids to check out the flight equipment.

A line extended from a tent where park district staff drew face art on kids. And a station allowed families to sign up with Holiday Wishes to Troops.

Courtney Rodriguez filled out a holiday card that will go to a soldier on Christmas.

“It’s to tribute the troops,” Rodriguez said, adding that she has a cousin in the military and a good friend recently returned from duty. “It just really hits the spot.”

Rodriguez lives in Joliet, but decided to come to Plainfield for her Independence Day celebrations.

“The atmosphere here is a little better,” she said.

It was the first time coming to the picnic for Richie Aparri, who has lived in Plainfield with his wife for the last eight years.

“I usually go to the stadium in Joliet,” Aparri said.

“But it’s always so crowded.

It’s nice here. You have got everything for the kids.”

It was 16-year-old Yasmine Washington’s first time at the picnic too. She came with her cousin and friends to show her baby sister the fireworks.

“I expected it to be small,” the Plainfield Central student said. “It’s good. I like the

bouncy castle.”

For Washington, Independence Day is not just about the

fireworks.

“It’s a day where we just eat a lot too,” she said.

Sentencing hearing for Almodovar held 2013 stabbing victim Orozco would have been 19 Thursday

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Carlos Orozco would have turned 19 years old Thursday.

His family spent the morning in court while sentencing

began for Fabian Almodovar, 23, who has pleaded guilty to second-degree murder for fatally stabbing Orozco in the parking lot of a Romeoville grocery store on May 16, 2013.

Carla Orozco said the pain of her younger brother’s death has gotten worse for her and her parents each day.

“Carlos may not have been perfect. I’ve heard people say he deserved it. No one deserves to be taken from their family like this,” she told Judge Robert Livas.

Almodovar allegedly sold marijuana to Orozco’s friends

earlier that evening and asked for a ride to Jewel, 20 S. Weber Road. The two men began “arguing who was tougher” and began fighting in the back seat, according to reports. The punches resumed when they arrived in the parking lot and Almodovar was badly beaten, suffering a concussion.

When Orozco tried to keep Almodovar from going into the grocery store, Almodovar stabbed him with a knife.

Orozco fell to the ground outside, while Almodovar went into a bathroom and collapsed.

Almodovar was charged with first-degree murder, but agreed to plead guilty to second-degree murder in April. He faces between four to 20 years in prison.

I felt my life was in danger, so I did what I did,” Almodovar said Thursday. Almodovar told Livas he does “feel remorse.”

Illinois Concealed Blue Island police officer Carry Permit THE HERALD–NEWS

ROMEOVILLE – A parttime Blue Island police officer has been charged with distributing child pornography.

Miguel Luna, 63, was arrested Wednesday on one count of distributing child pornography and two counts of possessing child pornography, according to a news release from the Will County State’s Attorney’s office. Luna faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.

Luna, of the 500 block of North Frieh Drive, was arrested by Romeoville police and the state’s attorney’s High Technology Crimes Unit.

According to the release, Luna also has worked as a camp leader with Pathfinders, an organization that works with children between the ages of 10 and 15 for the Seventh Day Adventist Church.

Luna’s computer was seized during a search of his residence. The state’s attorney’s office asked anyone with information about Luna to call 815-727-8453.

State’s Attorney James Glasgow said more than 40 people have been arrested on charges of trading child pornography or soliciting children online since the High Tech Crimes Unit was established in February 2012.

Bolingbrook police issue warrant in video allegation

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Police said a man tried to secretly film a girl with his cellphone while she was taking a shower.

An arrest warrant was issued Wednesday charging Israel E. Salazar, 41, with one count of unauthorized videotaping, according to court re-

cords. Salazar, of the 500 block of Blackhawk Lane, was being sought for arrest Thursday.

Lt. Mike Rompa said the incident occurred in late April at Salazar’s home and was reported to police by the victim’s mother a few days later.

Rompa said police began an investigation and applied for the arrest warrant after conducting interviews.

ComEd says some outages Animals coming to Crest Hill library could linger into Saturday THE HERALD–NEWS

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com About 2,400 Will County households still were without power Thursday afternoon, and some might have to wait for Saturday.

In Grundy County, crews worked Thursday to restore power to a little more than 700 households that have been without electricity since a pair of powerful storms swept through northern Illinois on Monday night.

As of 3:30 p.m. Thursday, 2,400 homes in Will County were waiting to have power restored by ComEd, said Tom Murray, deputy director for operations of the Will County Emergency Management Agency.

ComEd spokesperson No-

elle Gaffney said the utility hoped to have all service restored by Friday evening, although some outages could linger into Saturday. The utility previously said it could be done by Thursday.

All told, about 9,400 homes still were without power in the region, mostly in the south, Gaffney said. ComEd has about 1,200 crews and subcontractors out making repairs.

Part of the problem has been that the damage is so widespread.

“They’re generally scattered in a variety of areas,” said Harold Damron, director of the Will County Emergency Management Agency. “Wilmington still has a relatively big number out. They make up about a third of the overall number with about 1,000 still out.”

Other clusters include parts of Joliet and Romeoville, Damron said.

“Most of the big fixes are finished. Now they’re concentrating on the little fixes,” Damron said.

As many as 56,000 ComEd customers in Will County did not have power at one point after the storms.

Damron said much of the damage appeared to be caused by branches and trees knocking down power lines. Winds up to 90 mph were clocked in some areas, as well as a small tornado that briefly touched down along the boundary of Plainfield and Romeoville.

“It didn’t help that there was so much rain,” Damron said. “When the ground is that soft, the trees uproot a lot easier.”

Twelve-year-old Reganne Patrick was picked Thursday to go on stage to learn one of his tricks, balancing a spinning plate on a stick.

“It wasn’t really hard,” Patrick said. “It was fun though.”

Over at the Banana Derby – which has daily shows through Sunday – Hendricks spent Wednesday introducing each of his three monkey

jockeys – Bobo, Burt and Gilligan. The crowd was encouraged to cheer and clap loudly for their favorite jockey as the monkeys rode dogs around the track.

After the race, kids and families can have their picture taken with Gilligan, the star of the show and the Banana Derby’s “Chief Execu-

tive Monkey,” according to Hendricks.

The racing dogs were rescued and trained by Hendricks. All three of the performing monkeys have been with Hendricks from the beginning.

Nevertheless, training the animals to become Banana Derby riders was difficult.

MORRIS – About eight years ago, Phil Hendricks noticed his monkey, Gilligan, riding on the back of his dog, George, and he envisioned the world’s first monkey jockey.

Several weeks of training later, the Banana Derby was born, and for the last seven years, Hendricks’ dog-racing monkeys have performed at fairs and festivals across the country.

“It combines two of man’s favorite animals – the monkey and the dog,” Hendricks said.

Grundy County fairgoers can watch the Banana Derby themselves for free at various times throughout the rest of the week during the annual festival.

Wednesday marked the opening day of the fair, which included the start of the carnival, magic shows and a tractor and truck pull. It also included the annual Miss Grundy County Fair pageant, with Rielly Sanders of Mazon crowned queen.

“I’m speechless,” Sanders said after being named the winner. “I’ve been dreaming of this since I was a little girl.”

The queen will partake in fair activities, ride on floats and compete at the state level during her one-year reign.

Juan Friguglietti, an Argentina-born performer, carries his show in a suitcase and performs as a Pocket Circus – the world’s smallest circus.

“I’m just a one-man show, who juggles and performs,” Friguglietti said. “I have a message that if you try something, and practice a lot, you can get it.”

He said no two shows are the same and he customizes them based on the audience

Vilim case drags on

SHAW MEDIA BOLINGBROOK – A second man has been charged with robbing two women in a hotel room June 8.

Lt. Mike Rompa said the victims called police at 9:17 p.m. June 8 to the Ramada Inn on South Bolingbrook Drive where they had rented a room.

Rompa said the women invited an acquaintance, Cambren K. Powell, 21, to visit, but Powell arrived with another man – later identified as Devontti C. Gilmore, 21, of Bolingbrook – who took out a pistol and demanded money.

The men left after allegedly

taking a cellphone and the victims called police.

The victims, a 30-year-old Bolingbrook woman and a 17-year-old Bolingbrook woman, were not injured.

Powell was later found in the 300 block of Woodcreek Drive and identified by the victims, Rompa said. Gilmore remained at-large until Bolingbrook detectives obtained an arrest warrant and arrested him at 8:53 p.m. Tuesday.

Powell was charged with robbery, police said. Gilmore was charged with aggravated robbery and felony theft, police said.

Second arrest made in hotel robbery

Win one of our four

• Friday, July 4, 2014

JOLIET – Neither the Naperville man who has been awaiting trial on drug charges for eight years nor the special prosecutors came to court Thursday.

Michael R. Vilim, 55, was excused while the Will County State’s Attorney’s office has retaken the case from the attorney general’s office, which had been handling it since shortly after his arrest.

“I’ve been mulling it over and my plan is to complete this case the day before I retire, though I don’t think we’ll ever know when that may be,” Judge Edward Burmila told defense attorney Chuck Bretz and assistant Will County State’s Attorney Erin Krone.

Vilim was arrested in September 2006 in Bolingbrook when the Metropolitan Area Narcotics Squad reportedly seized 17 kilos of cocaine.

During the investigation, Vilim’s then-wife was having

a sexual relationship with a MANS agent, according to court records.

Bretz said a special prosecutor was called in because the Will County prosecutor then handling drug cases was present while the search warrant was executed. Assistant Attorney General John Kezdy then took over the case, which since has gone through different defense attorneys and judges.

On May 8, Kezdy arrived at the courthouse to allegedly see Vilim driving in a car by himself while his license was suspended. Because Kezdy notified police, he could be called as a witness and withdrew from the drug case last month. Another assistant attorney general took over for one court appearance before giving the case back to local prosecutors.

Krone told Burmila it will take her some time to review the 500 pages of transcripts the attorney general’s office has turned over. The next pretrial hearing is scheduled for September.

War hero Louis Zamperini lived ‘unimaginable drama’

By CHRISTOPHER WEBER and GILLIAN FLACCUS The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Seventy years ago, the world was convinced that Louis Zamperini was dead. There had been no word of the track star and former Olympian since his World War II bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean. The military told his parents he was dead, and an annual collegiate track competition named one of its races in his memory.

But Zamperini was alive, and very much so. After surviving 47 days in a life raft in shark-infested waters and enduring two years as a Japanese prisoner of war, Zamperini was liberated in time to attend the second running of the invitational mile that had been named in his memory. It was a story fitting for a man who lived a life on the edge of endurance, an ordinary man who did extraordinary things – all while sustained by a hope and strength that at times seemed superhuman.

Zamperini, a war hero, Olympian and the subject of a celebrated book and upcoming movie on his harrowing story of survival against all odds, died after a long battle with pneumonia, his family said Thursday in a statement.

He was 97.

Zamperini outlived almost all of those who watched him weave his way through his remarkable life, but the outpouring from those who came to know and love the man in his later years was as immediate and intense as the life he lived.

Lauren Hillenbrand, the author of the best-selling book “Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption,” said over countless hours of interviews Zamperini became a surrogate grandfather and beloved friend who helped her cope with her own debilitating illness, chronic fatigue syndrome.

“In a life of almost unimag-

But Louie greeted every challenge of his long journey with singular resilience, determination and ingenuity, with a ferocious will to survive and prevail, and with hope that knew no master,” said Hillenbrand, whose book is being made into a movie directed

by Angelina Jolie.

“His story is a lesson in the potential that lies within all of us to summon strength amid suffering, love in the face of cruelty, joy from sorrow.”

“It is a loss impossible to describe,” Jolie said in a statement. “We are all so grateful for how enriched our lives are for having known him. We will miss him terribly.”

Born on Jan. 26, 1917, Zamperini’s larger-thanlife story began with a blue-collar upbringing in Olean, a city in western

New York. When he was 2, the family moved to Southern California, where he spent a rebellious childhood before channeling his energy and tenacity into sports. He started with boxing, but quickly became a world-class runner after joining his high school track team.

In 1934, Zamperini broke the 18-year-old interscholastic record for the mile in 4:21.2, a mark that would stand for 20 years.

A track star at the University of Southern California, Zamperini competed in the 5,000-meter run at the 1936 Berlin Olympics. He finished eighth but caught attention by running the final lap in 56 seconds – and grabbed headlines by stealing a Nazi flag.

But it was Zamperini’s incredible World War II story that captured the imagination of millions back home.

He was a bombardier on a U.S. Army Air Forces bomber that crashed in the Pacific Ocean during a reconnaissance mission. He and one of the other surviving crew members drifted for 47 days on a raft in shark-infested waters, drinking rain water and eating fish and birds they caught with their bare hands, before being captured

by Japanese forces. A third man died before they reached land.

When he and his surviving raft-mate, pilot Russell Allen Phillips, reached land on the Marshall Islands, they were captured by the Japanese, who had also strafed their raft from the air and riddled it with bullet holes.

Zamperini would spend more than two years as a prisoner of war being shuttled among Japanese prison camps, where he survived beatings, starvation, debilitating illnesses and psychological torture designed to break him down and make an example of the famous Olympian-turned-war hero.

STATE

15

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Illinois Supreme Court on Thursday sided with retired state employees who argue that health insurance coverage is a constitutionally-protected retirement benefit, a ruling that could portend trouble for landmark legislation aimed at fixing the worst funded state pension system in the nation.

The court’s 6-to-1 ruling reverses a lower court decision that effectively allowed the state government to require retirees to pay for a portion of their own health care. The justices sent the case back to the lower court, where retirees can proceed with their challenge.

The ruling rebuffed the idea that a state budget crisis could warrant changing retiree health benefits. It was quickly parsed for the signals it sends on an even bigger case: a constitutional challenge to the state’s sweeping pension overhaul aimed at fixing an almost $100 billion unfunded pension liability.

Unions and retirees are suing over the broader overhaul plan that also reduces some benefits to retirees.

Illinois Senate President John Cullerton, who had proposed an alternative pension overhaul plan that would have given employees more choice in their retirement benefits, said the ruling Thursday makes it “very clear” the state constitution protects employees’ “promised benefits.”

“If the Court’s decision is predictive, the challenge of reforming our pension systems will remain,” the Chicago Democrat said in a statement following the ruling. Cullerton ultimately voted for the pension reform legislation

At a glance n Cullerton: Challenge of pension reform may remain: Illinois Senate President John Cullerton said a state Supreme Court ruling makes it “very clear” the state constitution protects employees “promised benefits.”

Cullerton said John Illinois’ pension Cullerton crisis may not be over if Thursday’s ruling foreshadows how the court will rule on a broader pension overhaul passed last year.

The Chicago Democrat’s statement Thursday follows a court opinion siding with retired state employees concerning health insurance premiums.

Cullerton had proposed an alternative pension overhaul plan that would have given employees more choice in the benefits they would receive upon retirement.

He ultimately voted for the pension reform legislation passed last year. It’s been challenged in court.

Cullerton’s statement breaks with fellow Democrat Gov. Pat Quinn who said Thursday the penthat passed.

Both cases pivot on a clause of the constitution, which states that membership in a government pension or retirement system “shall be an enforceable contractual relationship, the benefits of which shall not be diminished or impaired.”

“As far as a pennant waving in the wind, it certainly suggests the Illinois Supreme Court feels it’s a very strong pension guarantee clause,” said Professor Ann Lousin of the John Marshall Law School

sion overhaul would be upheld. n Illinois AG pledges to defend pension overhaul: Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan is drawing a clear line between a state Supreme Court decision on health benefits for state retirees and a legal challenge to a statewide pension overhaul.

Lisa Madigan Madigan spokeswoman Maura Possley said in a statement Thursday the high court’s opinion “has no direct impact on the pension reform litigation arguments.” She said the attorney general “will continue to vigorously defend the pension reform law.”

Gov. Pat Quinn draws the same distinction. Quinn spokesman Gran Klinzman said the governor’s office is confident the pension reform law will be upheld.

Their comments follow an Illinois Supreme Court ruling Thursday siding with retired state employees concerning health insurance premiums. The case in Chicago. But she added that the ruling is far from the final word on the issue.

But Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan said the arguments in the two cases are different. The state is arguing that it can use its emergency powers to reduce benefits in times of fiscal crisis. Her father, House Speaker Michael Madigan, was a chief architect of the pension overhaul.

“As a result, this opinion has no direct impact on the pension reform litigation arguments,” Lisa Madigan’s

is seen as a possible indicator of how the court will rule on the pension overhaul. n Union applauds Illinois Supreme Court ruling: The state’s largest public employees union is praising an Illinois Supreme Court opinion that backs constitutional protections for the health insurance benefits of retired state workers. The head of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 said Thursday’s ruling means “retirement security ... cannot be revoked by politicians.”

AFSCME Council 31 executive director Henry Bayer also said the high court’s ruling means state workers “can count on the Illinois Constitution to mean what it says.”

The case involves state workers who retired with 20 or more years of service and whether they’re entitled to premium-free health insurance. Under a new law, retirees had to cover part of the cost.

The justices sent the case back to a lower court, where retirees can proceed with their challenge.

– Wire reports spokeswoman Maura Possley said in a statement. “We will continue to vigorously defend the pension reform law.”

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn’s office also released a statement backing the constitutionality of the pension law.

“We’re confident the courts will uphold this critical law that stabilizes the state’s pension funds while squarely addressing the most pressing fiscal crisis of our time by eliminating the state’s unfunded pension debt,” said Quinn spokesman Grant

Klinzman.

Unions applauded Thursday’s ruling. The head of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 said it means state workers “can count on the Illinois Constitution to mean what it says.”

“Retirement security, including affordable health care and a modest pension, cannot be revoked by politicians,” AFSCME Council 31 executive director Henry Bayer said.

At issue is a law passed in 2012 that allows the state to collect premiums from retirees for their state-subsidized health care.

Before that, state workers who retired with 20 or more years of service were entitled to premium-free health insurance. Under the new law, retirees had to cover part of the cost.

The state argued insurance benefits are different from pensions and not protected by the constitution.

But, writing for the majority, Justice Charles Freeman said the “plain and ordinary meaning” of language in the constitution supports the conclusion that health insurance premium subsidies are part of a contractual relationship with retirees that can’t be diminished.

“In light of the constitutional debates,” Freeman wrote, “we have concluded that the provision was aimed at protecting the right to receive the promised retirement benefits, not the adequacy of the funding to pay for them.”

Freeman wrote that “all of these benefits, including subsidized health care, must be considered to be benefits of membership in a pension or retirement system of the State and, therefore, within that provision’s protections.”

We’re confident the courts will uphold this critical law that stabilizes the state’s pension funds while squarely addressing the most pressing fiscal crisis of our time by eliminating the state’s unfunded pension debt.”

Court backs police pension in Chicago torture case

CHICAGO – An imprisoned former Chicago police commander accused of overseeing the torture of dozens of men – almost all of them black – to coerce confessions will keep his pension of more than $3,000 a month, under a decision Thursday by the Illinois Supreme Court.

The justices ruled 4-3 that Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan cannot challenge a police pension board vote preserving the payments to former police lieutenant Jon Burge. The court said allowing the challenge would be a “fundamental change” to the state’s pension process.

Madigan lashed out at the ruling, saying she was “extremely disappointed” in the decision to “allow a torturer and convicted felon to receive his taxpayer-funded pension.”

Mayor Rahm Emanuel agreed, saying in a statement that to “see the taxpayer dollars flow to a felon whose perjury conviction was directly related to the abuse of his city police position is offensive to every Chicago resident.”

Madigan’s office later said it was trying to determine whether there were any further legal arguments it could make. But those likely would have to be made in state court, Madigan’s spokeswoman Maura Possley said, because there are no issues of federal or constitutional law.

Burge, perhaps the Chicago police force’s most infamous officer, is serving a 4½ year sentence in federal prison after being convicted of perjury in connection with testimony he gave in a civil case involving torture allegations.

Daley seeks to avoid testifying in restaurant case

CHICAGO – Former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley is seeking to avoid testifying during the trial of the city’s lawsuit seeking to break the long-term agreement for a restaurant in Millennium Park.

Crain’s Chicago Business reported attorneys for Daley said in a motion filed in Cook County Circuit Court his appearance at trial would present a “medical hardship.”

Earlier this year Daley suffered symptoms similar to a stroke during business trip and spent several days in the hospital.

In seeking to void a 30-year contract to operate Park Grill, Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration alleges a former Chicago Park District official “unduly and unfairly influenced” the process that led to a friend operating the restaurant.

Daley’s testimony was expected to be a highlight of the trial, which began in April.

The Dispatch in Moline reported that police found 64-year-old Michael E. Henderson’s body Tuesday morning. The Rock Island County coroner says preliminary autopsy results from Wednesday show Henderson’s cause of death was likely electrocution.

Investigators said they believe Henderson was trying to change a sump pump when he died.

There was about 2 feet of water

in his basement.

Moline police, Illinois State Police and the coroner’s office are continuing to investigate the death.

Chicago airports expect jump in July 4th travelers

CHICAGO – More than 2 million travelers are expected to pass through Chicago’s airports over the July Fourth holiday weekend.

That’s an increase of nearly 4 percent over last year’s num-

bers.

The Chicago Department of Aviation said 1.6 million passengers were expected at O’Hare International Airport from Wednesday through Monday.

Officials said Monday looks to be the busiest day at O’Hare with more than 241,000 passengers expected.

Midway International Airport could see 461,000 passengers over the holiday period. The busiest day there is expected to be Sunday.

Illinois suspending roadwork over holiday weekend

SPRINGFIELD – Those hitting the roads for the holiday weekend should find fewer delays from highway construction.

The Illinois Department of Transportation said it is suspending non-emergency roadwork where possible starting Thursday afternoon and continuing through the end of the day Sunday.

Thousands of motorists are expected to use state roadways over the Fourth of July weekend.

Some construction zones will still have lane closures in effect.

The agency is reminding drivers that lower work zone speed limits are still in place, even when workers are not on site.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Former Blackwater guard testifies against friends WASHINGTON – Former Blackwater security guard Matthew Murphy and now-indicted ex-colleague Paul Slough were friends, having survived the war in Iraq together, creating a bond that under different circumstances might have lasted a lifetime.

But from the witness stand in the Blackwater criminal trial this week, Murphy testified that he saw Slough fire at least two grenades into a car where a woman and her son died, two of 14 Iraqis killed on Sept. 16, 2007, in a downtown Baghdad square.

In three days of testimony, Murphy became the first Blackwater security guard to testify against his former associates in a trial expected to take months.

Slough is charged with manslaughter, attempted manslaughter and violating gun laws, as are two other defendants, Dustin Heard and Evan Liberty. A fourth defendant, Nicholas Slatten, is charged with first-degree murder in the death of the driver of the car. All four have pleaded not guilty.

July 4? Arthur moves celebrations to 3rd or 5th NEW YORK – As Americans prepared to celebrate the nation’s 238th birthday, Hurricane Arthur forced several East Coast cities to switch the dates of their Fourth of July shows and officials in the drought-stricken West urged caution in setting off fireworks.

Boston officials moved the annual Boston Pops July 4

concert and fireworks from Friday to Thursday because of potential heavy rain. They said they were rescheduling the celebration to the best of two bad weather days.

Augusta, Maine, moved its fireworks display to Aug. 2 to coincide with an annual festival, while several New Hampshire cities moved their fireworks shows to either Saturday or Sunday.

In New Jersey, Atlantic City and Ocean City moved their fireworks to Sunday.

In New York City the annual Macy’s fireworks show will be back on the East River after five years on the Hudson River. A spokesman said the show, the largest Fourth of July fireworks display in the nation, will go on no matter Friday’s weather.

Justin Ross Harris (center), the father of a toddler who died after police say he was left in a hot car for about seven hours, arrives for his bond hearing at Cobb County Magistrate Court Thursday in Marietta, Ga. Harris is currently being held without bond on a child cruelty charge and a murder charge.

Police: Father sent nude photos while boy sat in car

By KATE BRUMBACK The Associated Press MARIETTA, Ga. – A Georgia man who police say intentionally killed his toddler son by leaving the boy inside a hot SUV was exchanging nude photos with women the day his son died and had looked at websites that advocated against having children, a detective testified Thursday.

Cobb County Police Detective Phil Stoddard testified at a hearing that evidence showed Justin Ross Harris was practically leading a double life and should not be granted bond. Stoddard described the evidence police have suggesting Harris, who is charged with murder, killed his 22-month-old son Cooper intentionally.

Harris and his wife had two life insurance policies for the toddler, one for $2,000 and one for $25,000. Furthermore, Harris’ wife had become unhappy with her husband’s spending habits, Stoddard said.

At that same hearing, a judge refused to grant bond for Harris, meaning he will remain in jail.

Harris has told police he was supposed to drive his son to day care the morning of June 18 but drove to work without realizing that his son was strapped into a car seat in the back.

Harris was exchanging nude photos with several women, including teenagers, even on the day his son died when he was at work, Stoddard said.

However, defense attorney Maddox Kilgore said that evidence had no bearing on Harris’ intent.

“I think the real purpose of all that is to publicly shame him,” Kilgore said In the weeks before the boy’s death, the man also had looked at a website that advocated against having children and had done an Internet search for “how to survive in prison,” the detective said.

“I think the evidence now is showing intent,” Stoddard

said. He said Harris should remain in jail because he is a flight risk: There is evidence he was leading a double life, he has family in Alabama, and the former 911 dispatcher has law enforcement experience.

Harris is a native of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and moved to Georgia in 2012 to work for Home Depot.

The detective said after the boy died, Harris showed no emotion while being interviewed by investigators. At one point after Harris pulled over with the dead child in a strip mall parking lot, an officer told Harris to get off his cellphone, Stoddard said.

Harris twice refused, using profanity, and was then arrested.

Scores of reporters and some curious members of the public were at the hearing just outside Atlanta, where police and prosecutors laid out the most detailed account yet of their case against Harris. Some of Harris’ supporters also were in the courtroom.

June jobs report Obama under pressure to shows recovery is visit U.S.-Mexico border accelerating

By JULIE PACE and ERICA WERNER

The Associated Press

By JOSH BOAK The Associated Press WASHINGTON – A surprisingly robust job market is energizing the 5-year-old U.S. recovery and driving the economy closer to full health.

Employers added 288,000 jobs in June and helped cut the unemployment rate to 6.1 percent, the lowest since 2008.

It was the fifth straight gain above 200,000 – the best such stretch since the late 1990s tech boom.

The stock market signaled its approval. The Dow Jones industrial average surged 92 points to top 17,000 for the first time.

The breadth and consistency of the job growth are striking in part because of how poorly the year began. The economy shrank at a steep 2.9 percent annual rate in the January-March quarter as a harsh winter contributed to the sharpest contraction since the depths of the recession.

Yet employers have shrugged off that setback.

They’ve kept hiring.

The unemployment rate dipped from 6.3 percent in May to its lowest level since the financial crisis struck with full force in the fall of 2008, when the Wall Street firm Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.

“This has now become a textbook jobs expansion,” said Patrick O’Keefe, director of economic research at the consultancy CohnReznick. “It is both broad and accelerating.”

At least one nagging doubt is dampening the enthusiasm: Can the stepped-up hiring lead to higher incomes? Wages have yet to outpace inflation for most workers. Eventually, analysts say, the falling unemployment rate should cause pay to rise more sharply. But no one knows precisely when.

The jobs report did make clear that, five years after the recession officially ended, the U.S. economy is showing more vitality even as major economies in Europe and Asia con-

tinue to struggle.

Last month’s solid hiring followed gains of 217,000 jobs in May and 304,000 in April, figures that were revised upward by a combined 29,000.

Over the past 12 months, the economy has added nearly 2.5 million jobs – an average of 208,000 a month, the fastest year-over-year pace since 2006.

Economists say the steady U.S. hiring should fuel more purchases of goods from Asia and Europe and strengthen those economies at least slightly. Much of Europe is suffering from high unemployment. And China is trying to moderate its economy’s growth without slowing it too much.

“If we have some momentum going into the second half of the year, it helps the world economy because we’re big consumers,” said Stuart Hoffman, chief economist at PNC Financial Services.

The U.S. job gains in June were widespread. Factories added 16,000 workers, retailers 40,200. Financial and insurance firms increased their payrolls by 17,000. Restaurants and bars employed 32,800 more people. Only construction, which gained a mere 6,000, reflected the slow recovery of previous years.

Local governments added 18,000 education workers. But that might have been a quirk: Many schools that had been closed for snow days stayed open longer than usual in June, said Diane Swonk, chief economist at Mesirow Financial in Chicago.

Over the past three months, job growth has averaged a healthy 272,000. And in May, the economy surpassed the jobs total from December 2007, when the Great Recession officially began.

Researchers at the liberal Economic Policy Institute estimate that 6.7 million more jobs would have been needed to keep up with U.S. population growth.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is facing mounting calls from Republicans to take a firsthand look at the immigration emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border, putting him on the spot concerning what he has called the “humanitarian crisis” of tens of thousands of unaccompanied children flooding in from Central America.

“If he doesn’t come to the border, I think it’s a real reflection of his lack of concern of what’s really going on there,” declared Texas Gov. Rick Perry, a possible GOP presidential candidate in 2016.

The White House said Thursday that Obama currently has no plans to visit the border when he travels to

Texas next week, primarily to fundraise for Democratic congressional candidates. A trip to the border could result in awkward optics for the president, who would be unlikely to meet with youngsters he’s seeking to deport and would risk upsetting immigration advocates who oppose the deportations if he were to meet with border patrol agents or other law enforcement.

Administration officials say that Perry and other Republicans are merely trying to score political points rather than working to resolve a major problem. But the political concerns aren’t so easily dismissed for Obama.

The border crisis has put him in the difficult position of asking Congress for more money and authority to send the children back home at the same time he’s seeking

ways to allow millions of other people already in the U.S. illegally to stay.

The White House also wants to keep the focus of the debate in this midterm election year on Republican lawmakers whom the president has accused of blocking progress on a comprehensive overhaul of America’s immigration laws. Obama announced this week that, due to a lack of progress on Capitol Hill, he was moving forward to seek out ways to adjust U.S. immigration policy without congressional approval.

Obama’s options for that range from relatively modest changes in deportation procedures to broader moves that could shield millions of people in the U.S. illegally from deportation while giving them temporary authorization to work here.

Drought won’t stop fireworks in some dry western states

By SUSAN MONTOYA BRYAN The Associated Press ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. – Arizona’s largest city has gone four months without any measurable rain, and neighboring New Mexico is in the midst of four years of severe drought.

But you’ll still see and hear fireworks sparkle and pop during the days around July 4, despite the dangerously high threat of wildfires.

While some places in the West ban fireworks altogether, or greatly limit what you can light off when conditions are ripe for fire, other states are going in the opposite direction.

Arizona actually loosened its restrictions this year and is now allowing residents of the two most populated cities to set off fireworks in the days around Independence Day, and an effort by the New Mex-

ico governor to impose tougher rules during dry times has repeatedly fallen on deaf ears in the Legislature.

Some lawmakers chalk it up to statehouse politics, while others say it’s politicians’ reluctance to impose more regulations and take away the cherished tradition of setting off fireworks, even in severe droughts.

Phil Griego, a northern New Mexico rancher and a Democratic state senator, said the pastures around his village are so dry that the grass crunches under the hooves of horses and cattle when ranchers move the animals from one field to the next.

Griego tried during this year’s legislative session to pass a measure that would have updated New Mexico’s fireworks laws to give cities and counties more authority to ban fireworks when fire danger is high. Political

wrangling stalled the measure in the Democrat-controlled Senate despite bipartisan support from lawmakers, fire chiefs around the state and Republican Gov. Susan Martinez, who has been pushing since 2011 for changes to the law.

“This is critical because I don’t think this drought and this situation we’re in right now is going to pass any time soon,” Griego said. “For this year, it’s done and over, but we’ve got to start working on next year. We’ve got to have protections. Look at the fires that are taking place now with just lightning strikes.”

Arizona began allowing the sale and use of certain fireworks in 2010. This year, the state updated its laws to prohibit cities in Maricopa and Pima counties – which include Phoenix and Tucson – from banning the use of fireworks around the July 4 holiday.

Chinese President Xi Jinping waves as South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se (left) watches upon his arrival Thursday at Seoul Military Airport in Seongnam, South Korea. while also further driving a wedge between U.S. allies Seoul and Tokyo. South Korea and China share a distaste of Japan’s more assertive military ambitions and what critics see as recent attempts by Tokyo to obscure its bloody past.

Money has long been the focus of the relationship between

China, the world’s second-largest economy, and South Korea, the fourth-biggest economy in Asia.

The countries are in talks on a bilateral free trade agreement. China is South Korea’s largest trading partner, and Seoul says two-way trade topped $220 billion last year.

That’s larger than the combined value of South Korea’s trade with the United States and Japan.

China and South Korea on Thursday agreed to measures that will expand the use of China’s tightly controlled currency and boost their already extensive trade ties.

Managing security matters, and more specifically North Korea’s pursuit of nuclear bombs and the long-range missiles to carry them, has always been trickier.

China is seen as having unusual leverage with hardto-read North Korea and is often pressed to do more to force change. They fought together in the 1950-53 Korean War against the United States, South Korea and their allies. More recently, North Korea has repeatedly looked to China for diplomatic cover when the United Nations has taken up North Korean nuclear and missile tests and its much-criticized human rights record.

Iraqi Kurdish leader urges Israel rushes forces independence referendum to southern border

By RYAN LUCAS and BRAM JANSSEN The Associated Press BAGHDAD – With large parts of Iraq in militant hands, a top Kurdish leader called on regional lawmakers Thursday to lay the groundwork for a referendum on independence, a vote that would likely spell the end of a unified Iraq.

The recent blitz by Sunni militants across much of northern and western Iraq has given the country’s 5 million Kurds – who have long agitated for independence – their best chance ever to seize disputed territory and move closer to a decades-old dream of their own state.

But the Kurds still face considerable opposition from many in the international community, including the United States, which has no desire to see a fragmented Iraq.

A Western-established no-

fly zone in 1991 helped the Kurds set up their enclave, which has emerged over the years as a beacon of stability and prosperity, while much of the rest of the country has been mired in violence and political turmoil. The three-province territory was formally recognized as an autonomous region within Iraq following the U.S.-led invasion in 2003 that toppled dictator Saddam Hussein.

Speaking to the regional legislature Thursday, the president of the Kurdistan Regional Government, Massoud Barzani, told lawmakers to set up an electoral commission to “hurry up” and prepare for “a referendum on self-determination.”

“We will be in a better position and we will have better [political] weapons in our hands. But how we will do this?” he said. “What kind of steps will there be? For this,

you have to study the issue and take steps in this direction. It is time to decide our self-determination and not wait for other people to decide for us.”

Barzani spoke behind closed doors, but The Associated Press obtained a video of his address.

Kurdish leaders have threatened for years to hold an independence referendum, but those moves were often more about wresting concessions from the central government in Baghdad than a real push for statehood. The recent Sunni offensive has effectively cleaved the country in three, bringing the prospect of full independence within reach.

Kurdish fighters already have seized control of disputed territory – including the city of Kirkuk, a major oil hub. The Kurds say they only want to protect the areas from the Sunni militants.

with Gaza Strip

By JOSEF FEDERMAN The Associated Press

JERUSALEM – The Israeli military rushed additional forces to its southern border with the Gaza Strip on Thursday, vowing to halt a growing wave of rocket fire from the Palestinian territory, while new clashes erupted in east Jerusalem in response to the death of an Arab boy who Palestinians say was killed by Israeli extremists.

Israel said the show of force on the Gaza border was a defense measure. But persistent rocket fire raised the prospects of a tough Israeli response, with the military saying more than 40 rockets or mortar shells were fired from Hamas-controlled Gaza on Thursday.

Tensions have been high

since three Israeli teenagers were abducted in the West Bank on June 12, sparking a massive manhunt that ended with the discovery of their bodies early this week.

Israel has blamed Hamas for the abductions and launched a crackdown on the Islamic militant group in the West Bank, drawing rocket attacks out of Gaza and Israeli airstrikes in a near-daily cycle of retaliation.

The situation deteriorated further Wednesday after the burned body of a Palestinian youth, whose identity was confirmed Thursday as Mohammed Abu Khdeir, was found in a forest after he was seized near his home in east Jerusalem. The Palestinians accused Israeli extremists of killing the teen in a revenge attack over the deaths of the Israeli youths.

SEOUL, South Korea – With a single meeting Thursday, the leaders of China and South Korea simultaneously snubbed North Korea, bolstered their already booming trade relationship and gave the U.S. and Japan a look at Beijing’s growing influence south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone.

There were smiles, cheering schoolchildren and red carpets as Chinese President Xi Jinping began a two-day visit to Seoul.

North Korea, meanwhile, welcomed the leader of its only major ally and crucial source of fuel and food to the Korean Peninsula with a flurry of recent rocket and missile tests, the latest on Wednesday. The launches, as well as a vow Thursday

by North Korea’s military to conduct more tests, are seen in part as the North demonstrating its anger at being jilted for its archrival.

After their talks Thursday, South Korean President Park Geun-hye told reporters that she and Xi agreed on the need to rid North Korea of nuclear weapons and would resolutely oppose any more nuclear tests.

North Korea is thought to have a handful of crude nuclear weapons and has conducted three atomic tests since 2006, the most recent last year. Xi also called for negotiations to end the North’s nuclear program and the uncertainty that lingers on the peninsula.

Xi’s decision to meet with Park over North Korean leader Kim Jong Un upends the practice since Beijing and Seoul forged diplomatic ties in 1992 of Chinese presidents choosing to make North Korea their first official destination on the Korean Peninsula.

Beijing, entangled in hostile territorial disputes across Asia, may see an opportunity to boost its influence with the rare neighbor that feels generally positive about China,

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Thumbs-up to helping those in need after this week’s disastrous storms The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to those who admirably responded to the storms that tore through the region Monday night. The one-two wallop the storms packed brought torrential rain and wind gusts up to 90 mph, which caused damage to trees, buildings and roadways in Will and Grundy counties. Emergency workers, police, firefighters, utility employees and everyday residents headed out to assist with clean up and to lend a hand to neighbors in need.

Thumbs-up: to the people and businesses who support local fireworks shows on the Fourth of July. Freedom isn’t free and neither are Fourth of July fireworks. But in Joliet and other local towns, people can enjoy the Fourth of July tradition at no cost thanks to the folks who sponsor the shows. In Joliet, business and community leaders stepped up to save the show at Memorial Stadium when the fireworks almost became a victim of the recession, which just shows that these events do take money. Thank you to the sponsors.

Thumbs-down: to illegal or unsafe firework use this weekend. While fireworks symbolize a celebration of freedom and patriotism, they can turn dangerous and even deadly in an instant. Joliet city officials say nearly half of firework injuries are from the smallest novelties, including sparklers, which can burn at 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. Larger, explosive fireworks also can backfire or explode prematurely, even under the most careful conditions. Also, consider your neighbors, like the person who wakes at 4 a.m. for work, or the combat veteran who suffers post-traumatic stress disorder. Let’s make this weekend one to remember, for all the good things.

Thumbs-up: to One Vision Worship Center in Joliet and the several hundred people of all ages that attended the church’s first 5K Run/Walk for healing June 28. Unlike many other similar fundraising walks, One Vision began the event with an upbeat 30-minute prayer service for anyone in the Joliet area community that has cancer. Before the walk, participants collected a variety of donations.

The church will donate the $4,500 from the event to JOHA Foundation – the charity arm of Joliet Oncology-Hematology Associates – which educates and financially assists local cancer patients and their families.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Howard Baker lived a giant and gentle life Howard H. Baker Jr., who died June 26 at age 88, will be remembered in tributes for many things: The way he broke the century-long Democratic hold on Tennessee. His rise up the ladder in Washington politics. His uncommonly decent reign as Senate majority leader.

His marriages – almost certainly the only man who could have claimed this – to daughters of two of the most prominent Republicans in American history. His thwarted presidential ambitions. His wise, calm stewardship of the last years of Ronald Reagan’s presidency as White House chief of staff.

But Mr. Baker will be remembered for generations for one thing.

He asked one of the most important questions in American history.

It was a question so basic, so innocent in its approach and assumptions, so intelligent in its formulation and yet so trenchant that it ferreted out the truth at the height of the Watergate tensions – and it was so piercing in its clarity that it became a cliche: What did the president know and when did he know it?

What the president (Richard Nixon) knew (loads, it turned out) and when he knew it (earlier than

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE David M. Shribman he let on) were the issues at the center of the gravest constitutional crisis in modern American history.

By asking that question – formulated, according to folklore, by Fred Thompson, later an actor, senator and presidential candidate – Baker almost surely answered it as well.

The question in effect ended the Nixon presidency, coming as it did from a loyal Republican – he was the top GOP figure on the Senate Watergate committee – who was so highly regarded by the White House that he once was offered a Supreme Court seat by Nixon himself. (The seat eventually went to William Rehnquist.)

Few lawmakers of his generation or any other will receive the tributes that yesterday began to pour in for him.

He was serious-minded, to be sure, but he also was companionable, and not in the old-fashioned and now long-departed Senate cloakroom fashion of amiable banter married to deep distrust and

abiding deceit. Tommy Griscom, who worked as perhaps Baker’s closest confidant in the Senate and White House, recalled in a recent telephone conversation that his mentor never told him what to do beyond a few reliable words of guidance: Do the right thing.

Mr. Baker himself was on the right side of the political spectrum, but not too much and not so fervently that he did not accumulate abiding friendships among Democrats. And yet he was a partisan, and a partisan of a path-breaking sort. The son of a Republican congressman in Tennessee’s second district – the heart of East Tennessee, the part of the state that opposed secession in 1861 – Baker was the first Republican since Reconstruction to win popular election in a statewide race.

His election to the Senate ended statewide domination of a particularly and peculiarly powerful strain of Democratic politician: Andrew Jackson in the early 19th century, but also 20th-century giants such as Cordell Hull (later secretary of state), Estes Kefauver

The bad guys who are outsiders have the guns, but the local people don’t. A well-organized local militia is essential to defend towns and property. Then there is the central government’s policy of

excluding certain religious and ethnic groups alienating large segments of the country. Big central government and no guns for the local citizens to defend their property and rights has resulted in even more problems.

This not how the American west was won. This time the U.S. Cavalry is not likely to come charging over the hill.

Baker’s triumph spawned a new breed of Tennessee Republicans Continued from page 22 (a celebrated Senate investigator known for his defeat of John F. Kennedy for the 1956 Democratic vice presidential nomination) and Albert Gore Sr. (senator and father of a vice president). The latter two, along with Lyndon B. Johnson of Texas, were the only Democrats from Confederate states who did not sign the 1956 Southern Manifesto opposing racial integration.

Baker’s triumph spawned a new breed of Tennessee Republicans – among their number is Lamar Alexander, a former governor, education secretary, university president and sitting senator – and transformed Tennessee into a two-party state.

Baker was preparing for a second presidential campaign in 1988 – his first one, in 1980, was snuffed out by George H.W. Bush in Iowa and Ronald Reagan in New Hampshire – but his plans were derailed when Reagan asked him to succeed the embattled Donald Regan as White House chief of

staff. He served for 16 difficult months while the Reagan administration struggled with the Iran-Contra scandal.

He spawned unusual loyalty among his colleagues, aides and associates. “There was a gentleness to him that was remarkable for people who operated at his level,” remembered Thomas D. Rath, a former New Hampshire attorney general who met Baker while the senator stumped in 1980 for Senate candidate Warren B. Rudman, whose victory in that race helped provide the GOP majority that thrust Baker into the leadership of the Senate in 1981. “There was a twinkle in his eyes always.”

Those eyes could, however, flash with anger. One afternoon, Mr. Baker found himself delaying the conclusion of a close Senate roll call while Republican aides searched for a GOP lawmaker whose vote Mr. Baker needed. In a stage whisper that he intended for the denizens of the press gallery to hear with unmistakable clarity, the Senate majority leader told the missing lawmaker – who returned to the chamber in a tornado of

urgency and discomfort – that he didn’t mind if his colleague conducted an extramarital affair, but he did mind if he romped with his mistress on Mr. Baker’s time. He did not, however, phrase his remarks with the care applied to crafting the previous sentence.

Mr. Griscom was presiding over a meeting of the Chattanooga Rotary Club on Thursday when he received a message from Sissy Baker, the senator’s daughter, of his mentor’s demise. “He was like a second father to me,” Mr. Griscom said. “The Howard Baker you saw in public was the Howard Baker we all saw in private.”

Baker’s first wife was the daughter of Sen. Everett Dirksen, the celebrated Republican senator from Illinois. After Joy Baker died of cancer, Mr. Baker married another former GOP senator, Nancy Landon Kassebaum, the daughter of Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas, the 1936 Republican presidential nominee. Later, George W. Bush appointed Baker ambassador to Japan.

No one who was in the

Senate gallery when Mr. Baker announced his retirement from the chamber in 1984 will forget his personal reminiscence. He stood at his lectern in the front row of the chamber, his colleagues standing around him, a mist of poignancy in the air, and he recalled his years in Washington. It was a speech that was, by turns, sorrowful

and sentimental. The Senate majority leader recalled that he had come to the chamber young, idealistic and rich.

Then he departed, as none of those things.

To the Editor: Kudos to Gloria Weidner for bringing up God in her letter (“What’s next from GOP?” June 22, 2014, edition). I thought mentioning him was verboten these days. This should mean that I can bring him up as well, and so I shall, albeit very briefly.

Gloria’s comments about climate change included this: “God expects us to be stewards of his creation …” Very true, but He also expects us to be truthful with one another. That being said …

Remember the hype about declining numbers of polar bears? Polar ice was supposedly melting big-time, and the bears were suffering for it. Now it turns out that that story was, at best “a qualified guess.” Not only are the bears not declining, they are increasing in number.

The London Telegraph ran an article the other day with this

title: “The scandal of fiddled global warming data.” Why the need to fiddle with this data if global warming is a fact?

Then there’s Penn State’s Professor Michael Mann, whose computer model/program shows how global warming shot up once the industrial age began, suggesting that man is responsible. Unfortunately for him, this program gives the same result even when totally random data is fed into it.

Dare I mention the revelations made public via Climate-gate, the scandal at the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia in England?

Oklahoma taxing solar panels?

Nope. It’s a fee charged by the power companies, and for a legitimate reason. Research it.

Is the government desperate to get their fixes (taxes) in place ASAP so they don’t get burned as they did in the 1970s when the climate moderated before they could “fix” global cooling?

At that, the Spartans faced Trinity on June 27 at USF and were within 19-12 at halftime.

“We fell apart from their pressure in the second half,” Carrasco said. “They took it to us and dictated the game.

“But we played good defense in the first half. We’ve been stressing that. To hold them to 19 points in the half was phenomenal because a lot of their points come off steals.”

Among those the Spartans will count on next season are freshman center Jahari Smith and sophomore point guard Lexi Marin, the scoring leader a year ago with an 11.4 average. “We have to get a lot better finishing on offense,” Carrasco said.

Smith and Marin are young. The upperclass leadership, which Carrasco said the Spartans must have, could come from returning All-Southwest Prairie selec-

tion Cherish Smith, Skye Osborne and Jade Warner. Cherish Smith averaged 8.6 points and 7.9 rebounds last year.

Osborne, the Spartans’ best defender, is a captain.

“I yell from the bench, of course,” Carrasco said. “Right now we don’t have someone on the floor chewing them out if they’re not doing the job. Everyone talks about finding a leader by example, and that’s good, but you want to have a vocal leader, too. You can’t

force it on them, though.”

It goes back to maturity, individually and as a team.

“Last year was these girls’ first shot at the spotlight,” Carrasco said. “They really didn’t accomplish anything the last three years. We can coat it any way we want, but the truth is, they don’t have much experience.

“When we got in a rough spot in the schedule last year, it was hard to get out of it.

They say if you’re hot, you keep shooting, and if you’re not, you keep shooting until you get hot. Our girls need to develop that kind of attitude.”

The Spartans will take a break after this week until reconvening the last week of July.

“You can’t see them more than the 25 days the IHSA allows,” Carrasco said. “We’ve been busy to this point, and we wanted to have a little more time to see them later in the summer.”

MORRIS – A couple of seasons ago, Romeoville put the finishing touches on its third straight girls basketball season with 20-plus victories.

With Kiera Currie, Abby Smith and Angelica Osusky among the leaders, coach Julio Carrasco basically was able to pencil in the same starting lineup for all of those three seasons.

The girls in the next couple of classes benefited from being able to watch a good team operate, and some were able to go against them in practice.

But they sometimes did not have the opportunity to see meaningful minutes at game time.

The result last winter was a group searching for leadership. The Spartans finished 7-21, including 5-9 in the Southwest Prairie Conference.

Romeoville has been busy this summer, highlighted by appearances in shootouts at Morris, East Aurora and University of St. Francis. Carrasco understandably has not concerned himself with the number of wins and losses, but he knows there have been positive signs.

“We’ve been using a fivein and five-out system this summer,” Carrasco said. “We want to see which girls can play against good competition.

Hamiltons, ‘King of Wing’ highlight weekend

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, July 4, 2014

28

SUBMITTED REPORT MORRIS – Davey Hamilton last ran in the Indianapolis 500 in 2011.

Since then, he has remained busy in the racing industry by racing occasionally, driving the two-seater IndyCar, working as an analyst on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway Radio Network for their Indy 500 coverage, and co-owning the IndyCar entry of Simon Pagenaud, a recent winner of the Grand Prix of Indianapolis.

Hamilton is also the head of the King of the Wing Series that will visit Grundy County Speedway on Saturday night, along with the STARS National Midgets.

Among those who who will be competing in the King of the Wing race at Grundy is Davey’s son, Davey Hamilton Jr., who races for a team owned by his father. Hamilton Jr. is the third generation of the great racing family to get behind the wheel.

Hamilton Sr.’s father, Ken, attempted to qualify for the Indy 500 twice and still competes at the short-track level as he has done for several decades. The Hamilton family has a strong lineage in racing that dates back many years and appears as if it will continue well into the fuDavey ture.

Davey Ham- Hamilton ilton Sr., however, reigns as the one man who is the personification of the word “perseverance.”

From his humble beginnings as a supermodified driver on the short tracks of the upper Northwest of the U.S. to making it to the Indianapolis 500 and returning to racing after devastating leg injuries, Hamilton has shown that there isn’t a roadblock that can slow him down.

The native of Nampa, Idaho, who now makes his home

in Jamestown, Indiana is a six-time winner of the supermodified portion of the prestigious Copper World Classic at the Phoenix International Raceway.

In 1991, Hamilton made his debut at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway with the hope of making the field for the Indy 500. Unfortunately, a crash during rookie orientation prevented him from making a qualifying attempt. In his next two attempts to qualify for the Indy 500 in 1993 and 1995, he was never able to find the speed. Undeterred by these setbacks, in 1996 Hamilton got the big break he was looking for, a full-season IndyCar ride with A.J. Foyt in his legendary No. 14 car.

From 1996 to 2001, Hamilton made six consecutive starts in the Indy 500 with a best finish of fourth in 1998. He made 48 straight Indy Racing League starts with eight top-three finishes.

However, on June 9, 2001,

at Texas Motor Speedway, his career came to a screeching halt. After another car blew its engine in front of him, Hamilton was caught in a wreck that sent his car careening into the outside wall, then got airborne and sliced the catch fence with the nose of his car.

Hamilton suffered serious leg injuries. The doctors who were treating him at the hospital were prepared to amputate both of his legs, but thankfully, his legs were able to be saved.

Almost six years and 22 surgeries later, Hamilton was competing again at the Indy 500 in 2007. Not only was he competing, he was thriving. In his return to the race, Hamilton finished ninth. He went on to compete in the Indy 500 four more times from 2008 to 2011.

And now, fans at Grundy County Speedway will have the opportunity to see his son, Davey Jr., in action.

Grundy weekend The packed holiday week-

end of racing at Grundy County Speedway begins with a full program of stock-car racing Friday night, headlined by the third annual Magnabosco Memorial presented by the Phillips Family.

The event, in honor of long time racing enthusiasts, sponsors Tom and Karen Magnabosco, will feature a 70-lap main event for the Illinois Truck & Equipment super late models.

Race time is 7 p.m.

Dale Coyne Racing penalizes but keeps victory SUBMITTED REPORT PLAINFIELD – The race-winning car driven by Carlos Huertas in the first race of the Verizon IndyCar Series Shell and Pennzoil Grand Prix of Houston doubleheader event last weekend failed post-race technical inspection, series officials announced.

As summarized through a release on its web site, Dale Coyne Racing of Plainfield has been penalized after being found to be in breach of a pair of technical violations on its No. 18 car, which was found to have violated Rule 14.6.4.18 (Rear Wing Height) and Rule 14.7.2 (Fuel Cell Capacity) of the 2014 rulebook. The team has accordingly been fined a total of $10,000, or $5,000 per breach.

Huertas won the Saturday race after managing to run longer than anyone else on his final tank of gas, but officials said that they had determined that the infractions did not impact

“I think it was the wrong call from IndyCar. When a lead lap car is still on the lead lap, whether he’s P2 or last, just in front of the leader, he’s on the lead lap and he’s got a right to be there.”

Ryan Hunter-Reay, IndyCar driver the finishing order of the race or the final winning position of the No. 18.

Accordingly, Huertas’ maiden IndyCar race win stands, and there are no points penalties to the championship standings applied.

Meanwhile, Ryan Hunter-Reay has spoken about other penalties that had previously been levied on his team, Andretti Autosports, after a controversial incident that occurred early in the same race on Saturday.

Marco Andretti had been handed a drive-through penalty during race 1 in Houston after failing to obey blue flags ordering him to pull over to allow

then-race leader Takuma Sato through. Andretti was later given a further $2,500 fine and a three-race probation for failing to obey directions from race control, and the team also fined $2,500 over the incident.

“I think it was the wrong call from IndyCar,” said Hunter-Reay when asked in a midweek teleconference for his thoughts about what had happened. “When a lead lap car is still on the lead lap, whether he’s P2 or last, just in front of the leader, he’s on the lead lap and he’s got a right to be there.”

Andretti had been forced to pit for repairs early in the race after a collision with team mate Carlos Munoz, and he exited pit

lane just in front of Sato. However he had not gone a lap down when shown blue flags, which under IndyCar Series rules are only supposed to be a command to drivers already a lap down.

“You come out in front of the leader, things could cycle through to where you could come out fourth or fifth on the next stop. That’s the way it goes,” said Hunter-Reay. “That guy is fighting for every inch of the racetrack in order to stay on the lead lap. Especially in IndyCar, just because the beginning of your race goes south, you can still come back and win the race – even if you fight to just get that first pit stop.”

There had also been the sus-

picion that the team was acting tactically, ordering Marco to slow down in order to back the AJ Foyt Racing driver back into the fourth member of the Andretti Autosport squad, James Hinchcliffe, who at the time has been running in second place behind Sato.

“I could tell you that there is no way that early in the race, at any point in the race, that Marco would be told to slow Sato up in order for James to catch Sato,” insisted Hunter-Reay. “Marco still had his own race to run. The kid is fifth in the championship. He’s got a shot at contending for the title.

There’s no way after 10, 15 laps he’s going to give up his entire race to help his teammate out.

“I mean, this isn’t my fight to fight. I’ve been in a position plenty of times where I’ve been the leader of the race, there’s a lead lap car in front of me getting ready to be lapped, and IndyCar has never given me any help on that. I didn’t expect it.”

Lots of goodies in area football schedules 29 VIEWS Dick Goss

• Friday, July 4, 2014

Spend a few minutes perusing the high school football schedules that have been posted on the IHSA web site, and you will notice all sorts of interesting material.

To wit: • Joliet Central and Joliet West, both of which have been playing all their home games on Saturday afternoons, have one Friday night home game each this season.

Central is home against Thornridge on opening night, Aug. 29, with a 6:30 kickoff planned. West will entertain Stagg at 6:30 on Oct. 10.

The annual battle between the two Joliet Townships, this season at Central, will be played Saturday afternoon, Oct. 18.

• Joliet Catholic hosts Providence on Aug. 29 at Memorial Stadium and visits Wheaton North in Week 2 to complete its nonconference schedule.

The Hilltoppers open East Suburban Catholic play Sept.

12 at Carmel. Two weeks later, they visit new ESCC member Marian Central. Trips to Mundelein and Woodstock within a couple of weeks? Those yellow rockets better be in shape.

As difficult as JCA’s schedule appears early on, it will be no picnic later. The Hilltoppers visit Nazareth and host Benet and Marist the final three weeks of the regular season.

• Not every game on Providence’s schedule falls into the killer category, but the Celtics not only visit Joliet Catholic on opening night, but they entertain Mount Carmel in Week 3 and travel to St. Rita and Loyola in Weeks 5 and 6.

Lots of teams feel they have rugged schedules, but having those four games among the first six has to put the Celtics right at the top of the difficulty scale. On the other hand, if relatively healthy, they should be ready to tackle whatever the remainder of the regular season and the playoffs have to offer.

• Minooka opens at home against Morris and visits Providence in Week 2 before

There are only four other teams in the Northern Illinois Big 12 East, so Morris also will play two Northern Illinois Big 12 crossovers, against Sterling and LaSalle-Peru.

• Neighborhood wars are happening early. Coal City visits Reed Custer for openers

and entertains Wilmington in Week 2. Reed-Custer is at Wilmington in Week 4.

It doesn’t matter when the Coal City vs. Wilmington game is played, it’s always huge.

But it is a game that seems to belong toward the end of the schedule rather than early.

• The annual Bolingbrook vs. Lincoln-Way East war comes up Oct. 17 in Frankfort.

There is plenty of football to be played before then, but

you know this one will be meaningful. How about Dan Darlington coordinating the Bolingbrook offense against coach Rob Zvonar’s defense at East?

• Lemont coach Bret Kooi will debut Aug. 29 at Plainfield South. Kooi won two Class 8A state titles during his tenure at Lockport. Under Eric Michaelsen, Lemont has been among the state’s most successful programs over the

past decade or so. This should work.

• Lincoln-Way West opens at Sycamore, which the Warriors might be tired of seeing.

Actually, Dave Ernst and his staff welcome the opportunity to play good competition, it’s just that Sycamore has happened to have West’s number in recent years. It’s about time the trend was reversed.

• Lockport debuts on its new artificial turf Sept.

5 against Lake Park. The Porters will host Lincoln-Way East, Bolingbrook, Joliet Central and Joliet West in the SouthWest Suburban Blue.

• Rather than us attempting to pick out key match-ups in the Southwest Prairie, let’s just say that week after week, games of high local interest will be contested. The four Plainfields, Minooka, Romeoville and the two Oswegos make for some good rivalry games year after year.

All in all, there is plenty to look forward throughout the area. As my good friend Dave Dwyer would tell you, the number that matters on this July 4 holiday is 56. Yes, only 56 days until opening night.

Bears seek reliability in return game

By ARTHUR ARKUSH aarkush@chicagofootball.com Technically, the Bears must replace Devin Hester in 2014, as the greatest return specialist in NFL history will be on the opposite sideline when they visit the Falcons in Week 6. No fewer than five men will be vying for the role in Bourbannais later this month.

Fortunately for the Bears, they’re in a position where relying on Hester’s record-breaking production is no longer vital. With an average offensive ranking of 23rd in the league between 2006 and 2013 – including their lone top-10 finish, No. 8 in 2013 – the Bears needed Hester to be every bit as special as he was to put anemic offenses in position to succeed.

But with coach Marc Trestman and one of the league’s most dynamic offensive personnel groupings at their disposal, the Bears just need their return game not to be prohibitive to their now-formidable offense.

Special teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis told the team’s website this week that “a guy who can make all the catches” is among the most important criteria he’ll be looking for in the competition.

“You gotta be focused,” former Panther Armanti Edwards, who signed with the Bears last month after Domenix Hixon tore his ACL, told Chicago Football. “No. 1, you have to catch the ball. No. 2, you have to trust your teammates. … No. 3, get downhill fast.”

Edwards, 26, has averaged 7 yards on 40 career punt returns and 19.7 yards on 15 kickoff returns in a four-year career with the Panthers and Browns.

One of his chief competitors for the job, Chris Williams, agreed with DeCamillis and Edwards that it starts

H. Rick Bamman – hbamman@shawmedia.com

Bears receiver/kick returner Armanti Edwards runs up field during drills at practice June 11 in Lake Forest. Edwards is among the players who will be fighting to earn a job as a return specialist when the Bears open training camp July 25 in Bourbonnais. with catching it cleanly.

Rest assured, it sounds a lot easier than it is. The Bears still don’t know who can be trusted in that regard, as the offseason featured a lot of kickoffs and punts scraping the roof of the Walter Payton Center.

It resulted in the returners receiving short tosses from coaches indoors, instead of dealing with the weather elements, as well as knuckling footballs descending on them at the same time as would-be tacklers, like they will be in September.

It’s part of the reason the competition is anyone’s to win in training camp, which begins July 25.

It starts with ball security,

and it’ll be much easier for the coaches to gauge who has it when the action is outdoors and the threat of collisions becomes a real possibility.

“You just have to take reps,” said Edwards. “Once you get familiar with the kicks and how long it takes for the ball to get down, how long it takes for everyone to hold up, you get familiar with it.”

On his third NFL stop, Edwards has become familiar with how precious opportunities in the NFL are. Although it didn’t work out in Carolina, where the college quarterback from Appalachian State was drafted in the third round in 2010, he remains grateful for the time he had with the Panthers.

“I got a lot out of it,” Edwards said. “I got to learn from Steve Smith and Ricky Proehl at the receiver spot, and I also learned that nothing is guaranteed in the NFL. It’s a fast sport; if you don’t catch on when they want you to, you got to move on. … They move on as well.”

Like Hester and Williams, Edwards’ game revolves around speed.

He posted a 4.41 40-yard dash time at his 2010 Pro Day. Although Eric Weems and Micheal Spurlock have more NFL experience as returners, they’re unlikely to offer the same type of home run potential as this pair.

Just don’t expect Edwards, Williams or any of the five

Bears included in the competition – second-year running back Michael Ford being the fifth – to engage in a conversation regarding the act of replacing Devin Hester. “[Hester’s] production speaks for itself,” Williams said. “What, 19 [return touchdowns], I think? That’s unbelievable… I couldn’t even imagine.”

There was a time when the Bears couldn’t imagine life without Hester.

That time has passed, and they now can sacrifice special for steadiness in the return game – but even that shouldn’t be taken for granted.

For that reason, it will be a fun competition to watch in a few weeks.

You gotta be focused. No. 1, you have to catch the ball. No. 2, you have to trust your teammates. …

No. 3, get downhill fast.” – Armanti Edwards, Bears receiver/kick returner

benefits.

College presidents say no to unions for athletes Prosecutor says Pistorius WASHINGTON – A national organization representing college acted methodically

SUBMITTED REPORT SCHAUMBURG – The Joliet Slammers fell behind early and lost to Schaumburg, 5-2, Thursday night in a Frontier League game.

Schaumburg had a big second inning against Joliet starter Greg Billo.

Mark Nelson led off with a single and Billo lost feel for the strike zone. He walked the next four batters and Max Casper threw two wild pitches.

With that, Billo was taken out of the game in favor of Harry Marino, who gave up RBI singles to Jordan Dean and Tyler Sciacca and a sacrifice fly to Justin Vasquez to make it 5-0.

Four of those runs were charged to Billo.

Marino went 22/3 innings of relief and did not allow another run. Kevin McNorton then came on to pitch 11/3 innings of shutout relief followed by Jordan Wellander.

Up next Joliet (Andrew Busby) vs. Schaumburg, Silver Cross Field, 7:05 p.m. today, AM-1340 He pitched three shutout innings, allowing only one hit and struck out three.

The bullpen collectively went seven innings and allowed one run on seven hits with eight strikeouts and no walks.

The Slammers hit into double plays in three straight innings to hurt their scoring chances.

They out-hit the Boomers, 11-8.

They managed a run in the fifth when Seth Granger led off with a bloop double, advanced on a passed ball and scored on a sacrifice fly from Tyler Roberts.

Max Casper had two hits Russell Moldenhauer, Grant DeBruin and Granger.

The Slammers will return home this weekend against Evansville.

Student-athletes participate for their own benefit; they do not render services for compensation, said the 1,800-member American Council on Education.

Ahead of a midnight deadline, the council filed a 30-page friendof-the-court brief taking strong issue with the ruling earlier this year by a National Labor Relations Board regional director that allows college athletes at Northwestern University to unionize.

The full labor board is weighing the case.

In its own brief, the fledgling College Athletes Players Association argues that Northwestern football is a commercial enterprise from which the university derives substantial financial

31 PRETORIA, South Africa – Oscar Pistorius armed himself and took other methodical steps before he killed his girlfriend, the chief prosecutor said Thursday, trying to cast doubt on the athlete’s account that he reacted instinctively to a perceived intruder.

Prosecutor Gerrie Nel made the argument while cross-examining sports physician Wayne Derman, who testified that the Paralympian acted on a “fight or flight” impulse in which he chose to confront what he thought was an attacker because his disability prevented him from fleeing.

Derman has treated Pistorius for years.

Pistorius, 27, said he killed Steenkamp by mistake, thinking there was a dangerous intruder in his home. He shot her through a closed toilet door while on his stumps. The prosecution said he intentionally killed the 29-year-old model after the couple had a Valentine’s Day argument last year.

“EARTH TO ECHO” STARRING: Teo Halm, Astro, Reese

“TAMMY” STARRING: Melissa McCarthy, Susan Sarandon, Kathy Bates

PLOT: After losing her job and learning that her husband has been unfaithful, a woman hits the road with her profane, hard-drinking grandmother.

RATED: R for language including sexual references TIME: 1 hour, 36 minutes VERDICT: Meet Tammy. Boy, is she a mess. Angry, profane and aggressive, then suddenly shy and sweet.

Sometimes she’s funny, sometimes totally not. She can’t figure out what she wants to do or be, or where to go.

She has loads of people around her, yet can’t figure out what to do with them.

This one’s in desperate need of outside help. And you thought we were talking about Tammy, the character – played by lovable Melissa McCarthy in her first venture as producer, star and co-writer with husband, Ben Falcone. Well, sure.

But really we’re talking about “Tammy” the movie, about which all of the above descriptions are also true. Especially the “mess” part. Oy. Other recent comedies have been described as elongated “Saturday Night Live” skits, but it’s especially apt here, and not just because McCarthy and Falcone, who also directs, are veteran improv performers.

Exaggerated characters, some wacky side plots, a couple of famous faces sprinkled in, and you’re off. Some of it’s good, some terrible, but you keep it all, ‘cause, hey, why not? It’s a comedy sketch. Only this is a much anticipated, heavily promoted feature-length film, and as such, it can only be deemed

an unfortunate, though ambitious and intermittently enjoyable, misfire for McCarthy, so adorably entertaining in better movies like “Bridesmaids” and “The Heat.” Part of the problem is miscasting. “Tammy” is full of name actors: Susan Sarandon, Allison Janney, Toni Collette, Kathy Bates, Sandra Oh, Dan Akyroyd. Most are misused. (Bates is a happy exception.) Most glaring of all: Sarandon plays Tammy’s doddering grandmother, Pearl, with whom Tammy goes on a female-bonding road trip (yes, obvious echoes of “Thelma and Louise”). Give her credit for trying, but really, Sarandon as a doddering grandma? McCarthy is 43. Sarandon is 67, but we all know she looks great for 50, maybe 45. They give her a dumpy pants ensemble, an unflattering gray wig and fake swollen ankles, but we don’t buy it for a minute. Just look at Sarandon’s glowing skin here – she should be doing a Dove commercial.

It still might have worked if these two actresses had the comic chemistry (or the script) that made us laugh at the rowdy McCarthy teaming with the uptight Sandra Bullock in “The Heat.” No heat here, alas. We first meet Tammy on, arguably, the worst day of her life.

First, her car hits a deer. That makes her late for her job at Topper Jack’s burger joint, where she’s promptly fired by her sadistic boss Keith (Falcone), and responds by licking all the hamburger buns. At home, she finds husband Greg (Nat Faxon) romancing neighbor Missi (Toni Collette, criminally underused).

Furious, she runs home to her mother, Deb (Allison Janney, a great-looking 54-year-old, and thus also implausibly cast – but whatever.) Tammy wants to hit the road. That’s where Pearl comes in. She’s eager to stave off the nursing home, and has a huge wad of cash.

Misadventures ensue. Tammy totals a jet ski. Pearl gets drunk – she’s a serious alcoholic, and a diabetic – and ends up having sex in a car with a randy old guy, while his son (Mark Duplass, in a sweet performance) and Tammy watch in disgust. Tammy and Pearl get in trouble with the law. Tammy needs bail money for Pearl, so she robs a Topper Jack’s with a paper bag on her head. Somehow the two end up – and you knew this was coming – at a huge lesbian July 4 party! The hosts are Pearl’s friend Lenore, played by the terrific Bates, and girlfriend Susanne (Sandra Oh, barely used at all.) This is where things go seriously wrong between Pearl and Tammy. It all comes hurtling oddly, with weird rhythm and pacing, to an equally odd ending. At least Tammy – the character, not the movie – seems to know a little more

about where she’s going. Us? We’re still scratching our heads.– The Associated

“TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION” STARRING: Mark Wahlberg, Nicola Peltz, Jack Reynor

PLOT: An automobile mechanic and his daughter make a discovery that brings down the Autobots and Decepticons – and a paranoid government offical – on them.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, language and brief innuendo TIME: 2 hours, 45 minutes VERDICT: Crash. Shatter. Boom. Crash.

Shatter. Boom. Smattering of silly dialogue. Pretty girl screams: “Dad!” Crash. Shatter. Boom. What? Oh, sorry.

We were falling into a trance there.

Which is, dear moviegoer, what may happen to you during Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Age of Extinction,” the fourth “Transformers” film and, at 165 minutes, precariously close to the three-hour mark. Despite what you’ve just read, this film likely will be a massive hit because by now, if you’re buying a “Transformers” ticket, you surely know what you’re getting into, and you want more, more, more. And Bay is the Master of More. Or just take it from the 11-year-old sitting next to me, who reserved any audible judgment until the moment he saw a Transformer become a dinosaur. Overwhelmed by the pairing, he proclaimed: “That’s the sickest thing I’ve ever seen in my life.” This time, there’s a whole new human cast.

Most important, Mark Wahlberg has replaced Shia LaBeouf as, well, Main Human Guy, and the good news is that Wahlberg’s grounded quality, rough charm and really nice biceps make him a thoroughly welcome presence.

The bad news: He isn’t immune to the numbing effects of some desperately cheesy dialogue. A significant part of the movie also takes place in China – clearly a nod to the franchise’s huge market there. We begin in Paris, Texas, where Cade Yeager (Wahlberg), a struggling inventor, is desperately seeking a big discovery. He’s also a widowed dad, and super-protective (as the movie incessantly reminds us) of his high-school daughter, Tessa (Nicola Peltz, blond and pretty and ineffective, though the one-note script does her no favors). One day, Cade buys a rusty old truck. Examining it back home, he soon discovers it’s none other than Optimus Prime, the Autobot hero, seriously

damaged. As Cade works on fixing him up, his assistant, wisecracking surfer-dude Lucas (T.J. Miller, mildly amusing), has the dumb idea of calling the authorities. What he doesn’t know is that the government – actually, the head of CIA black ops, Harold Attinger (Kelsey Grammer, expertly villainous) – is plotting to destroy all remaining Autobots in favor of a man-made army of Transformers. He’s being helped in this endeavor by the shadowy KSI corporation, run by the nasty-but-complicated Joshua Joyce (Stanley Tucci, giving the most entertaining performance in the film). So now, it’s evil humans pitted against the trustworthy Autobots. You can try to follow the ins and outs of the battling forces or just watch things crash into each other, blow up, or both.

The final confrontation alone lasts close to an hour, and at some point, you might find yourself simply in a daze, unable to absorb any further action into your brain. But one viewer’s migraine is another’s euphoria. You decide.– The

“DELIVER US FROM EVIL” STARRING: Eric Bana, Edgar Ramirez, Olivia Munn

PLOT: New York police officer Ralph Sarchie investigates a series of crimes. He joins forces with an unconventional priest, schooled in the rituals of exorcism, to combat the possessions that are terroizing their city.

RATED: R for bloody violence, grisly images, terror throughout and language TIME: 1 hour, 58 minutes VERDICT: A serial-killer mystery in which the culprit turns out to be one of Satan’s minions, Scott Derrickson’s “Deliver Us From Evil” adapts the detective genre to an exorcism tale that is very serious about the prospect of demonic possession. Though based on claims made by real-life NYPD officer-turned-paranormal investigator Ralph Sarchie (played here by Eric Bana), the picture is stolen by a fictional character – a composite religious figure played with a predictable level of smolder by “Carlos” star Edgar Ramirez. That audience will find “Evil” very respectful of their faith, though its nods to religion are genre-appropriate and never preachy enough to alienate the average horror fan. While the supernatural side of the film suffers a flaw or two – continued references to The Doors are superfluous and sometimes chuckle-inducing – its central conflict works. – The Associated Press

• Friday, July 4, 2014

Hartwig PLOT: After receiving a bizarre series of encrypted messages, a group of kids embark on an adventure with an alien who needs their help.

RATED: PG for some action and peril and mild language TIME: 1 hour, 29 minutes VERDICT: First-time feature director Dave Green and first-time feature screenwriter Henry Gayden have a few things in common. They created the six-episode TV series “Zombie Roadkill” a few years back, and they’re obviously fans of at least three specific films: Spielberg’s overly praised “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” the 1981 version of “Clash of the Titans” and the more recent, unfairly underrated “Chronicle.”

Let’s just say that one of the few mistakes Gayden and Green made in “Earth to Echo” was to fashion their stranded alien who meets up with three kids on an adventure in the shape of a little owl – a little robotic owl that looks exactly like the stupid robotic owl that was in “Titans.” Maybe if they made it a grouse. ... The thing the filmmakers did really well was make a movie they probably wanted to see when they were kids. “Earth to Echo” is an offbeat, funny, slightly edgy science fiction offering that features unknown young actors playing 13-year-old kids who are making their own movie.

Set in a residential community in Nevada that’s about to be torn down because a freeway is coming through, thereby displacing (more like peacefully evicting) all of the families, the story has our three heroes – Alex, Tuck and Munch – on the evening before they’re to move off in different directions and new lives, trying to figure out why their cellphones have gone haywire, why images of “maps” have appeared on their screens. A bike ride out to the desert has them discover a mysterious metal cylinder, the communicative owl-like thing within it, their understanding that they must help it (they name it Echo) find its lost spaceship, and finally that adventure that sends them, via regularly changing maps, to break into a private home, to a pawn shop, a biker bar, all kinds of places kids shouldn’t be. The cool gimmick is that Tuck has decided to record it all, installing constantly running video cameras everywhere from the handlebars on his bike to the frames of his glasses. That gimmick allows viewers to be one with the characters, and the filmmakers have lucked out by finding three newcomers who are so natural and relaxed as actors – everything they do, every word they

say, feels real rather than scripted. The only other misfire, after the owl, is the inclusion of a female character named Emma, whose presence, while adding to a couple of plot twists, breaks up the male bonding thing that makes the film so endearing. There are other characters: brief glimpses of parents who are too tied up in their own lives to pay attention to their kids, orange-jacketed “construction workers” who keep showing up at inopportune times. They help to make the story work; I have no idea why Emma is there. Fortunately nothing gets too much in the way of keeping things focused on the boys knowing this is their last adventure together. The humor of the film, along with its moments of absolute wonder (done on a remarkably good-looking shoestring budget), keep the inevitable ending from being too bittersweet. In fact, its end notes ring perfectly. It’s certainly a film I wish I saw when I was a kid.– More Content Now

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Think carefully at trick one

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Frank A. Clark, a lawyer and politician who died in 1936, said, “If you can find a path with no obstacles, it probably doesn’t lead anywhere.”

Sometimes the opening lead shows the path to the defeat of the contract ... if one of the defenders finds the right subsequent play.

First, though, look only at the West hand. What should he lead against three no-trump?

Some players open two notrump with 19 high-card points, especially when they have a good five-card suit. It can be reasonable, but not with that North hand.

Almost half of the points are in quacks (queens and jacks), which is not good, and there is one unstopped suit. One diamond is correct.

Length rules against no-trump, so West should lead a heart. And because he has no honor in the suit, he should choose the nine – top of nothing when the top two cards are touching. (When you have something like 9-7-6-4-3, lead the seven, the second-highest.)

South has seven top tricks: three hearts and four clubs. He will take the first trick with dummy’s queen and play on diamonds.

What should East do?

The opening lead marks South with the heart ace and king. So he cannot also have the spade ace, because then he would have been too strong to respond one no-trump.

East should grab the trick and shift to his spade four, the low card guaranteeing at least one honor in the suit. West will win with his ace and return the spade eight, the higher card from a remaining doubleton. East will take three more spade tricks for down one.

ADVICE Family’s anger over woman’s past still lingers How often is often?

Dear Abby: Two years ago, I was involved in an unhealthy relationship for me and my children.

Despite what everyone said, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. He ended up assaulting me and my kids.

For two months I struggled with depression, and I admit I wasn’t the responsible parent I should have been. Child Protective Services took the children. I hold myself accountable for my actions and my failure.

My parents are angry with me because of poor choices I made in the past and treat me like the black sheep of the family. Granted, my mother, brother and I all have issues stemming from the past, but I’m tired of playing the guilt card, tired of playing the victim and tired of not having my family back me up at a time when I need their support to regain custody of my kids.

I miss my family and what good times we did have. How do I even begin to put the pieces back together on a very broken family? – The

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Black Sheep

Dear Black Sheep: Fixing your broken family is something all of you must be willing to work on together, or it won’t be successful.

Because your mother and brother are unwilling, what you need to do is start fixing yourSELF. Regaining custody will depend upon your ability to establish your independence, support your children and yourself financially, and start counseling to deal with your issues so you won’t get into another destructive, abusive relationship. It will take work and time, but if you can do it – and I think you can – your mother and brother will respect you for it.

Dear Abby: I have been dating “Gene” for three years, living together for a year and a half. We love each other very much.

Our biggest problem is, he

doesn’t keep a “normal” schedule.

Gene eats at odd hours, exercises at the strangest times and will stay awake ’til the wee hours of the morning. He’s responsible, holds a good job and comes from a terrific family, but I want a normal schedule. This is tricky because I have accepted his lifestyle and now Gene doesn’t understand my sudden change of attitude.

What should I do? – Wants A Normal Life Dear Wants: It’s possible your change in attitude has come about because you now realize that you might be living his unconventional lifestyle for the rest of your life.

Compromises you could make on a temporary basis can seem daunting when you see they’ll be permanent. You will either have to accept this as your future or Gene will have to change his lifestyle.

Because he seems to thrive on the schedule he’s living on, the adjustment may be very difficult for him.

Diet sodas are not healthy substitutes for regular sodas Dear Doctor K: You often advise cutting out sugary soda drinks.

Should I switch to diet soda?

Dear Reader: Sugary soda drinks have no place in a healthy diet.

Excess sugar leads to weight gain – and obesity increases the risk of many serious health conditions, including heart disease and Type 2 diabetes. As I always say when giving dietary advice, I’m talking about a regular practice, not an occasional sin.

Multiple studies have shown that people who drink the largest amounts of soda are more likely to gain weight than people who drink the smallest amounts. That’s not surprising when you consider that a 20-ounce bottle of soda can contain as many as 20 teaspoons – that’s 333 calories – of sugar.

Diet soda is made from artificial sweeteners that contain few or no calories. It may seem like the perfect alternative to regular soda, but researchers are finding that people who drink diet soda still have a higher risk for weight gain, Type 2 diabetes and heart disease than people who don’t drink diet soda.

There is some evidence that artificial sweeteners may affect the

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff brain’s perception of sugars. They may increase a person’s appetite for sugars. They may also interfere with the body’s natural ability to estimate calories based on how sweet a food is. Your body thinks that other sweet foods don’t have as many calories, either. So, you may overeat sweet foods and drinks.

In any event, I’d advise you to try to cut down on both diet and regular soda. Reduce the size of your soda containers (cans usually have fewer ounces than bottles).

Replace your soda with beverages that are naturally low in sugar: • Water: Flavor with a splash of fruit juice or a squeeze of lemon.

• Unsweetened iced or hot tea.

• Diluted juice: Mix 2 to 3 ounces of 100 percent juice with an equal amount of water. You’ll get half the sugar and calories.

• Low-fat milk: Low-fat milk has half as much sugar as soda and lots of nutrients.

• Coffee: If you add sugar to

coffee, try going “cold turkey.”

You can acquire a taste for unsweetened coffee. I know, since I did. If you can’t get rid of sugar entirely, try smaller amounts of either sugar or sweeteners.

• Unflavored seltzer/sparkling water: These are great when you need some fizz.

I retained my college-age weight for about 20 years after graduating. But then, like many people, I started to gain weight.

Since I was a kid, also like many people, I loved to drink sugary sodas. I switched to diet sodas, and it helped a little in my goal of remaining at a healthy weight.

Then I realized that what I liked most about sodas was the carbonation. The “bite” of the fizz hitting the back of the throat was great, particularly when I was thirsty. Carbonated waters (flavored or unflavored, but without sugar or sweetener) served the purpose just as well.

Dr. Wallace: I’ve always been a neat freak and like to do things right. I will be a second-year student at Ohio State University and I noticed that a lot of students in our dorm this year were catching a cold or the flu. I read your column often and I remember you writing that the weather does not cause the flu or colds, and that the best way to avoid these viruses is to wash your hands often. I was lucky not to be sick this year, and I’d like to also stay healthy next year. So, I’d like to know: When washing your hands, how often is often? Where did you get your information? – Sophia, Columbus, Ohio Dear Sophia: The information on avoiding a cold, flu or other infections, comes to me courtesy of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.

According to this highly regarded health clinic and hospital, a little soap and water can – many times – prevent what may take loads of time and money to cure.

Thorough hand washing isn’t simple.

You must apply soap or detergent to your hands and rub vigorously for at least 10 seconds to suspend the microorganisms (germs). Then rinse them away.

Water temperature isn’t essential. Water warm enough (About 110F) to cut through grease is best. Water hot enough to kill germs would harm your hands.

Germs tend to accumulate around your cuticles, beneath your fingernails and in the creases of your hands, so concentrate on these areas. Rinse all soap from your hands to remove as many microorganisms as possible.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace It’s virtually impossible to keep your hands germ free, but there are times when it’s critical to wash your hands.

Always wash: • Before you handle or eat food.

• After you visit the bathroom.

• After changing a diaper.

• After handling uncooked food (especially meat).

• After handling money.

• After blowing your nose, sneezing or coughing into your hand.

• After playing with a pet.

• After handling garbage.

Germs accumulate on your hands as you perform daily activities. By not washing your hands you can acquire or pass on a host of ailments, from the common cold to more serious diseases such as dysentery (an intestinal infection) or hepatitis (inflammation of the liver). Most cases of diarrhea and vomiting are caused by inadequate hand washing.

Overall, infections claim more lives than any other disease except heart disease and cancer.

You are a very wise young woman to be a neat freak concerning your health. Your question has given me the pleasure of reminding our readers to take the time and spend a few cents to avoid serious illnesses – wash your hands.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Work hard, but don’t ignore your health. Getting stressed or run-down will damage your ability to be productive, erasing your chances of progress.

“Earth to Echo” is an ofbeat, funny, slightly edgy science fiction film, featuring unknown young actors playing kids who are making their own movie.

‘Earth to Echo’ is a film you wish you saw as a kid

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now First-time feature director Dave Green and first-time feature screenwriter Henry Gayden have a few things in common.

They created the six-episode TV series “Zombie Roadkill” a few years back, and they’re obviously fans of at least three specific films: Spielberg’s overly praised “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial,” the 1981 version of “Clash of the Titans” and the more recent, unfairly underrated “Chronicle.”

“E.T.” was about a kid’s relationship with a stranded alien creature trying to go home; “Chronicle” used the shakycam, found-footage genre to celebrate youth and camaraderie and adventure; “Clash of the Titans?” Let’s just say that one of the few mistakes Gayden and Green made in “Earth to Echo” was to fashion their stranded alien who meets up with three kids on an adventure in the shape of a little owl – a little robotic owl that looks exactly like the stupid robotic owl that was in “Titans.” Maybe if they made it a grouse... .

The thing the filmmakers did really well was make a movie they probably wanted to see when they were kids.

“Earth to Echo” is an offbeat, funny, slightly edgy science fiction offering that features unknown young actors playing 13-year-old kids who are making their

own movie. Perhaps it would be better to call it their own record of an adventure they set out on over the long last night that they’ll spend together as pals.

Set in a residential community in Nevada that’s about to be torn down because a freeway is coming through, thereby displacing (more like peacefully evicting) all of the families, the story has our three heroes – Alex, Tuck, and Munch – on the evening before they’re to move off in different directions and new lives, trying to figure out why their cellphones have gone haywire, why images of “maps” have appeared on their screens.

A bike ride out to the desert has them discover a mysterious metal cylinder, the communicative owl-like thing within it, their understanding that they must help it (they name it Echo) find its lost spaceship, and finally that adventure that sends them, via regularly changing maps, to break in to a private home, to a pawn shop, a biker bar, all kinds of places kids shouldn’t be.

The cool gimmick is that Tuck has decided to record it all, installing constantly running video cameras everywhere from the handlebars on his bike to the frames of his glasses. That gimmick allows viewers to be one with the characters, and the filmmakers have lucked out by finding three newcomers who are so natural and relaxed as actors – everything they do,

every word they say, feels real rather than scripted.

The only other misfire, after the owl, is the inclusion of a female character named Emma, whose presence, while adding to a couple of plot twists, breaks up the male bonding thing that makes the film so endearing. There are other characters: brief glimpses of parents who are too tied up in their own lives to pay attention to their kids, orange-jacketed “construction workers” who keep showing up at inopportune times.

They help to make the story work; I have no idea why Emma is there.

Fortunately nothing gets too much in the way of keeping things focused on the boys knowing this is their last adventure together, and that, when morning comes, they’re going to lose their special friendship.

The humor of the film, along with its moments of absolute wonder (done on a remarkably good-looking shoestring budget), keep the inevitable ending from being too bittersweet. In fact, its end notes ring perfectly. It’s certainly a film I wish I saw when I was a kid.

• “Earth to Echo” is written by Henry Gayden and directed by Dave Green. The film stars Teo Halm, Reese Hartwig, Astro and Ella Wahlestedt. It is rated PG.

If sitting back in your hot tub overlooking the scenic Rock Run Creek in your backyard, then ending the day relaxing in your master suite with its comfortable fireplace and private sitting room overlooking the creek is your idea of the perfect evening, then this is the home for you. On chilly nights, you can even warm up in your two-person indoor whirlpool tub with waterfall in your master bathroom that comes with a separate shower and bidet.

This stunning two-story contemporary home takes full advantage of its peaceful location, while still giving you the edge to quick interstate transportation, the commuter train and just about everything else in the Joliet area.

The exterior of this 5,296-square-foot home is itself a distinctive treasure, with insulated stucco-like EIFS exterior and a stunning metal roof and architecture. Its lot proportions are generous, as well, at over one acre in size.

The large, dramatic foyer with its large, elegant marble fountain and marble floors will be the first room to greet you on a tour of this home. The vaulted cathedral ceilings of the first floor will capture you, as well, in the living room and family room, both of which have gas log fireplaces. The family room boasts a striking full-wall fireplace.

The spacious kitchen has a large island, a walk-in pantry, beautiful ceramic floors, fabulous built-ins, plenty of room for eating space and is perfect for entertaining, as is the separate dining room with its warm hardwood floors.

The ceramic-tiled Florida room, also on the first floor, is the perfect place to relax in the sunshine and enjoy coffee and the newspaper in the morning or to enjoy friends and refreshments later in the day.

The laundry room of this home is also on the first floor.
