Financial aid fraud targeted JJC students

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Four men have been charged with trying to use other people’s identities to register as Joliet Junior College students and receive financial aid loans.

The scheme was unsuccessful at JJC, although authorities say the men were able to get $135,000 at two other community colleges in the Chicago region.

Anthony Trice, 34, Warren K. Taylor, 35, and David N. Edwards, 37, of Chicago, and Jerrod L. Weathersby, 36, of Harvey, were indicted Wednesday on federal fraud charges for trying to fraudulently obtain $240,000 in student aid from JJC, Harper College in Palatine and Elgin Community College.

The student loans were among other bank, mortgage and small business loan schemes that netted more than

$2.4 million dollars for six defendants since 2006, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Noreen B. Mian, 34, of Chicago, and Derrek L. Campbell, 34, of Chicago, also were indicted on charges unrelated to the college loan fraud.

From 2010 to March 2012, Trice, Taylor, Edwards and Weathersby submitted more than 40 applications for admission and federal student aid at the schools using identities Trice and Weathersby had obtained while committing credit card fraud, according to the indictment filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher McFadden.

Reimbursement checks were sent out to the “student’s” registered address and cashed.

The scheme got about $135,000 in refunds from Elgin and Harper colleges, but was unsuccessful at JJC, according to the indictment.

The four “did not intend to

complete the coursework, were ineligible for financial aid because they did not possess a high school diploma or GED or were incarcerated,” the indictment read.

JJC spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said Thursday the college was unaware of the indictments, but would cooperate with any investigation.

Trice was charged with six counts of mail fraud, five counts of wire fraud, three counts of bank fraud, making false statements on loan applications, student loan fraud and aggravated identity theft. Weathersby was charged with wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. Taylor was charged with four counts of mail fraud, aggravated identity theft and student loan fraud. Edwards was charged with mail fraud and student loan fraud.

The suspects face up to 30 years in prison and $1 million fines.

Plainfield park employees unionize

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield Township Park District maintenance employees have joined the Service Employees International Union.

The Illinois Labor Relations Board certified on Monday the Plainfield Township Park District maintenance employees’ petition to unionize with SEIU Local 73.

Employees will now meet with SEIU Local 73 representatives, elect officers and complete a survey to discuss what needs to be addressed during contract negotiations, SEIU Local 73 Communications Director Adam Rosen said.

According to certification documents, 11 petition cards were sent from 20 employees.

One card was found to be invalid, but the petition is still considered a majority interest, and employees won’t have to go through an election to vote on unionizing, Rosen said.

“It doesn’t happen very often that an employer will appeal. But it’s a promising sign they didn’t put up a fight.”

Adam Rosen SEIU Local 73 communications director The labor relations board received the employees’ petition to unionize on July 2. The park district had an objection period where it could appeal or challenge the unionization efforts. But Rosen said there was no challenge and the process is moving forward.

“It doesn’t happen very often that an employer will appeal,” he said. “But it’s a promising sign they didn’t put up a fight.”

Park district Interim Executive Director Richard Grodsky and Board of Commissioners

President Mary Kay Ludemann could not immediately be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.

Ludemann has previously confirmed the park district is working with a law firm in regards to labor negotiations.

Maintenance employees tried to unionize with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 in July of 2013.

But that effort didn’t receive enough support with employees and was put on hold in April.

During that process, the labor relations board found the park district violated state labor laws after the park district didn’t respond in time to a lawsuit filed by AFSCME Council 31 on behalf of employee Joel Schumaker, who claimed he was illegally disciplined and fired in November for engaging in union activities. Schumaker later reached a settlement with the park district and did not return to work.

Course creates deeper understanding of foreign culture and language

By VIKAAS SHANKER

“This program is important in the way it develops interest in learning languages.

Students that learn at an earlier age appreciate their own culture even more.”

vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Chinese yo-yos, a majestic dancing lion and Kung-Fu chops and kicks filled the Joliet West High School Little Theater stage with Chinese tradition Thursday.

Students performed skits and songs in Mandarin, and one returning volunteer filled the air with his performance on the guzheng, a Chinese string instrument that mimics the flow and ripples of a river.

“So much tradition,” Fred Lu said.

Lu is the local director of the STARTALK Chinese Immersion Summer Language Program, a course created to introduce American students to Chinese culture and language.

The course ended with a student performance showcasing what participants learned.

“It’s about we teach, students learn, students use,” he said.

“The activities we got to do were so fun,” Troy Middle School seventh-grader Cheyenne Killingsworth said about learning Chinese language and culture. “It got easier. Our teacher helped us a lot.”

This is the second year Joliet West has offered the STARTALK language and culture program to area students. And school administrators are finding out students are very interested in taking the program.

“We were only going to have slots for 12 students this year,” Joliet Township High School Superintendent Cheryl McCarthy said. “But we more than doubled that number.”

Lu said 25 students participated in the program, with 22 performing at the closing ceremony.

BELOW: Sarah Hernandez performs a dance Thursday with classmates during the ceremony.

The STARTALK program is a federally funded initiative that aims to teach uncommon but increasingly important foreign languages by immersing students in the culture associated with the languages.

Languages in the program include Arabic, Dari, Hindi, Mandarin, Persian, Portuguese, Russian, Swahili, Turkish and Urdu.

Lu directs the program for school districts in Joliet, Plainfield, Oswego, Naperville, DeKalb, Downers Grove and Northbrook.

“This program is important in the way it develops interest in learning languages,” Lu said. “Students that learn at an earlier age appreciate their own culture even more.”

Students don’t just learn the basics of Mandarin and history of China. They learn positive Chinese customs, like calling elders with a re-

spectful name and stories that explain the importance of the individual and community.

Joliet Central High School freshman Angel Ochoa liked a story of how the color red provided protection from a blue dragon that wanted to destroy China.

“They taught us a lot of different things,” Ochoa said.

“Learning the language was a good experience.”

The University of Maryland-based STARTALK is in its sixth year. Lu said 250 school districts or colleges applied for $15 million in funding. About half of those organizations received the funding.

“A lot of people learn Spanish, but these other languages are growing,” Lu said.

Sis Yu, the beginners immersion teacher for this

year’s program, said at the end she was speaking Mandarin 90 percent of the time to the students.

“This is a theoretically organized curriculum,” she said. “We incorporate different elements. You don’t learn the language alone, it’s more well-rounded than other programs.”

Elwood School eighth-grader Alan Sunday took the course last year and loved the activities.

“It was similar this year, but we had a different teacher so I learned new things, too,” Sunday said.

Sunday’s grandfather, New Lenox resident Joe Lebda, said the program is a great learning experience.

“It tickled me and my wife and my daughter how fantastic the program is,” he said.

“It’s a good way to learn another language.”

Tracy Theard, whose daughter Nisa Theard went through the program, said the immersion in Chinese culture reinvigorated Nisa’s interest in traveling abroad.

“When [Nisa] first started it was a little different. As she got into the program she started to really enjoy it,” Theard said. “Something like this should be offered into any school system.”

Kids get a break at YMCA summer camp

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Isaiah Boyd is gaga for GaGa. What is GaGa? It’s kind of a cross between dodgeball and “Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.” There’s a pit, see, an octagon-enclosed dirt field.

A dozen kids enter. One kid leaves. Or something like that.

“I like playing in it with my friends,” said Isaiah, an 8-yearold Joliet camper who attends the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s summer day camp.

And when he’s not in the GaGa pit, Isaiah enjoys swimming in the Smith Family YMCA pool, which he’s done nearly every day of the 11week program.

Isaiah’s experience is typical of that of the 150 campers who attend the program at either the Smith YMCA, or at Thigpen and Washington schools. Many come from underprivileged families that would otherwise have little access to summer activities.

On Thursday, the camp hosted a special end-of-summer barbecue for the children and some of the corporate and government sponsors of the program, including state Sen. Pat McGuire, Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton and rep-

Campers at the Greater Joliet Area YMCA’s summer day camp play GaGa on Thursday at Smith Family YMCA, 1350 S. Briggs St. GaGa is a dodgeball variant in which the ball must be rolled to tag out opposing players. resentatives from Caterpillar and Ecolab.

While the camp is run on a fee basis, nearly half the children attending receive some kind of financial assistance, said James Watts, CEO of the Greater Joliet Area YMCA.

“No child is denied if they want to get into camp,” Watts said.

The camp, which runs from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays, offers a variety of activities, including games and field trips to places like Joliet Splash Sta-

tion and Family Fun Zone.

Many of the activities are variants of traditional schoolyard games. Nine Square in the Air, for instance, is an airborne version of four-square played with a giant inflatable beach ball in a grid of PVC piping.

Keeping the kids busy and active is the goal of camp counselors.

“The best compliment I’ve had came from a parent who said when their kids get home, all they want to do is sleep,” said Mike Amos, who’s been a counselor at the camps for the last four years.

Michelle Daley’s daughter, Rayann Pardee, 9, has attended camps the past two summers.

“She has so much fun,” Daley said. “She gets to make new friends. It keeps her busy all summer.”

But the camp serves a deeper purpose beyond just fun and games, Watts noted.

“It gives campers an appreciation of diversity and it builds character,” Watts said.

“The values we try to model are caring, honesty, respect and responsibility.”

The program started 20 years ago as an after-school alternative for students after physical education programs were cut at District 86 schools, according to Maurice Fears, the YMCA’s associate executive director. It eventually “morphed” into a summer program partnership at the schools, he said. Smith YMCA, 1350 S. Briggs St., joined the program in 2012.

Newest electric vehicles tested at Autobahn Country Club

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The BMW I3 is a joy to drive.

The fully electric vehicle surges forward with the slightest nudge of the accelerator.

Take your foot off the “gas” and it automatically slows down as its motor changes over to energy generation mode. There’s no coasting, not even downhill.

The instant torque takes some getting used to, but once you figure it out it almost feels like the car is an extension of your foot. It moves when you push, it slows when you let up.

During a 10-minute drive around the track at the Autobahn Country Club on Thursday, we didn’t even have to use the brakes. The car will even park itself, if you are one of those challenged by the geometry of parallel parking.

The Kenworth Class 8 cement mixer also is a joy to drive.

Both the Beamer and the cement mixer were featured vehicles at the Illinois Chamber of Commerce’s Taking the Future Out For a Spin event, which showcased the latest in electric, compressed natural gas and hybrid vehicles.

The compressed natural gas powered engine drives just like an automatic, so simple even a reporter can handle it. The air brakes takes some getting used to though, as does the push button transmission. And the turning radius.

During a 10-minute drive around the Autobahn parking lot, I managed to avoid hitting several vintage Porsches and other expensive cars. And while it doesn’t park itself, few cars would want to fight over a parking space with the multiton monster.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – As the harrowing conflict between Israel and Hamas stretches into its fourth week, members of the Joliet Jewish Congregation and others gathered Thursday night to stand with Israel.

Rabbi Charles Rubovits spoke to a crowd of about 50 people at the “Stand with Israel” solidarity event, at Joliet Jewish Congregation, 250 N. Midland Ave. Rubovits said the “uninformed” world at large – and the mainstream media – often portray Israel in a negative light in the Gaza conflict.

He said he wants the world to understand Israel has a right to defend itself and its people against deadly attacks.

“Israel has an inalienable right to exist peacefully without threat of military action against them,” he said. “We must stand with Israel in her time of need.”

The event was organized by the Joliet Jewish Congregation with the hope of educating the general public and helping them understand their side of the conflict, Rubovits said. The United States has not publicly supported Israel as much as he’d

Rabbi Charles Rubovits for Joliet Jewish Congregation speaks Thursday at a “Stand for Israel” solidarity event. like, he said.

He stressed the Hamas militant group is a terror organization that refuses to put down its weapons, while Israel is doing what it can to defend itself.

Over the 24-day conflict, about 1,300 Palestinians, mostly civilians, and about 60 Israelis have been killed.

More recently, the United States condemned Israeli forces for the shelling of a United Nations facility in Gaza this week that resulted in about 20 deaths. The U.S.

called the incident “totally indefensible.”

At the same time, Hamas’ network of underground tunnels are being used to infiltrate into the heart of Israel and to carry out surprise attacks. Israeli forces have recently vowed to destroy the tunnels as they are uncov-

ered.

Both sides have been accused of committing war crimes.

Among the speakers at Thursday’s event were Very Rev. Kathryn White, with St. Edward and Christ Episcopal Church in Joliet; Michael Block, past president of the Joliet Jewish Congregation; and Dr. David Rubovits, senior vice president of planning and allocations for the Jewish United Fund of Metropolitan Chicago.

White emphasized the need for a peaceful resolution between both sides.

“I come before you this evening … as a witness to the rights of individuals, for the right of a three or four-yearold to sleep in his or her bed without the sounds of air raid sirens disturbing their peace,” she said. “I stand before you for the cause of the teenager who worries about his or her parents who serve in defense of their way of life.”

Both sides agreed to a 72-

hour humanitarian ceasefire beginning Friday morning.

“Tonight, we’ve got to keep praying for a change in people’s hearts, that they can give up the gun,” said Peter Hannon, a professor of culture and civilization with Lewis University. “Let’s pray for justice and peace, and let’s have hope.”

Amanda Rose Hicks-Barnhardt was among those in attendance. She said she hopes these events continue to educate people about the conflict in the Middle East.

“Being here and looking at it from the outside, I’m doing what I can here because physically I’m not there and I cannot support Israel in the way I would like. I am in the United States, so I’m going to do what I can here,” Hicks-Barnhardt said.

Those in attendance were encouraged to donate to the Jewish United Fund to help with relief efforts and other humanitarian programs in Israel.

• ELECTRIC Continued from page 4 While the cars and trucks at Taking the Future Out For a Spin are designed for road use, presenting them at a race track still makes a lot of sense, said Mark Basso, the Autobahn’s founder and president.

“Racing is the harshest proving ground you can use to prove new technology,” Basso said.

The event featured many electric cars, including the Tesla Model S, Chevrolet Volt, Nissan Leaf and Ford Focus.

Stuart Irwin, business operations manager of Clipper Creek, a company that sells charging stations for electric vehicles, said the new technology is here to stay.

“It’s faster out of the gate, it’s silent, there’s no smell and you’re not pulling up to a gas pump to drop $50 a visit,” Irwin said. Improvements in battery

technology are increasing driving ranges and bringing down the overall cost of the vehicle, he noted.

Tim Ozinga, of Ozinga Ready Mix Concrete, Inc., of Mokena, is an early adopter of the new technologies. His company was the first in Illinois to switch from diesel to compressed natural gas powered cement mixers. The decision was predicated both by fuel costs and more stringent clean air restrictions on diesel vehicles, Ozinga said.

The new technology is ideal for short-run operations, such as garbage trucks, snow plows and other “spoke and hub” uses where trucks are driving around a set area and then returning home each night, said Steve Flammersfeld, a district vocational manager for Freightliner.

“If you put on enough miles or hours, the break-even point can come within two years,” Flammersfeld said.

Trucker’s widow files lawsuit after I-55 crash CHICAGO – The widow of a trucker claims faulty brakes led to his fatal crash last week in the Des Plaines River Bridge construction zone on Interstate 55 near Channahon.

Plainfield mother cited for leaving infant in car

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Plainfield woman allegedly told police she forgot her infant daughter was sleeping in the car while she went to shop at Wal-Mart.

Capt. Tab Jensen said police were called about 5 p.m. Tuesday after a passerby noticed the baby in an unattended white Ford Escape parked outside the store at 1401 Route 59.

Jensen said an officer ar-

rived and opened the door to find the child unharmed.

Patricia Silvar, 36, came out about five minutes later.

“She told the officer she’d forgotten her daughter was with her,” Jensen said. Silvar, of the 7000 block of Boxwood Lane, was given a compliance ticket.

Jensen said Silvar’s daughter was returned to her, but police did notify the Department of Children and Family Services about the incident.

victim was treated in the burn unit at Loyola Medical Center.

The Cadillac had left the scene but was spotted about 10 p.m. by sheriff’s deputies at Washington Street and Mississippi Avenue in Joliet, Hoffmeyer said.

Ladson, of the 100 block of Hunter Avenue, and Derrick Price, of the 300 block of East First Avenue, were arrested on charges of aggravated battery and mob action. Ladson was also charged with unlawful use of a weapon. Hoffmeyer said a golf club was found inside the vehicle.

According to jail records, Price was previously arrested after allegedly trying to drive away from Joliet police on July 18. He was charged with aggravated fleeing from police, reckless driving, six counts of disregarding a stop sign, improper lane usage, driving with a suspended license, transporting open liquor and speeding. He was released July 23 after posting $15,000 bond, according to jail records.

THE HERALD–NEWS Tests of mosquitoes in two Will County communities have turned up positive for West Nile Virus, the Will County Health Department announced Thursday.

Two mosquito samples collected earlier this week in Frankfort and Crete tested positive for the virus, bringing the county’s tally of positive samples to seven, according a county health department press release.

A cool and wet early summer had initially resulted in a slow start for West Nile Virus detection, but increases are now being reported across the state. Will County is one of about 25 counties in Illinois to have confirmed West Nile Virus in birds or mosquitoes this year.

Nearly 100 mosquito batches or birds statewide have yielded positive results for the virus. Positives have been confirmed in several Chicago-area counties. About ⅔ of all positive samples came from Chicago-area counties, according to the release. There were 13

West Nile Virus-related fatalities and 117 human infections in Illinois last year.

Signs and symptoms Most people infected with the virus experience no symptoms although the disease can cause serious illness or death.

If they do occur, symptoms – which include fever, head and muscle aches, chills, vomiting and disorientation – usually surface within two weeks of infection.

Mosquitoes infected with the virus often breed in old tires, planters, rain barrels, catch basins and stagnant water. Property owners are encouraged to dump containers capable of holding water – which helps deprive the insects of breeding opportunities.

Insect repellent is also encouraged when venturing outdoors, the release stated.

The Health Department continues to collect a limited amount of birds for West Nile Virus testing. To report a dead bird at your location, or for general West Nile Virus information, telephone 815-740-7631.

JOLIET – Police said ongoing disputes between two groups of teens and young adults led to a street brawl and three arrests Wednesday.

About 4:30 p.m. a 1995 Cadillac DeVille was driving up and down the 3900 block of Pandola Avenue in front of the house where an 18-yearold man lives, according to Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer. The resident believed one of the occupants of the vehicle had broken his front window on a prior occasion because he has dated his sister, Hoffmeyer said.

The 18-year-old man, another 18-year-old man, a 19-year-old man and a 16-yearold boy got in a car to follow the Cadillac and get a license plate for the broken window report, Hoffmeyer said.

They lost sight of the vehicle near Raymond and September drives in Plainfield Township, Hoffmeyer said.

“The Cadillac then appeared behind their vehicle, and three occupants jumped out and began attacking the four victims [in the other car],” Hoffmeyer said.

A 17-year-old boy allegedly used a baseball bat to shatter the windshield and strike the 18-year-old driver. Kevin J. Ladson, 20, allegedly used a 20-inch golf club with

a rough tip to cut the driver’s arm and back while Derrick J. Price, 21, allegedly punched him Derrick with his fists.

Price The other 18-year-old who had pursued the Cadillac also was struck in the head with the bat, Hoffmeyer said.

Kevin J. Both sherLadson iff’s deputies and Joliet police responded to the incident.

Joliet police while investigating encountered Dylan M. Dylan M. Altergott, 20, a Altergott relative of one of the victims who also resides on Pandola Avenue.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said Dylan Altergott was taken into custody for charges of assault, domestic abuse and strangulation from New Orleans.

Benton said Thursday that Altergott also has been charged with aggravated battery for a June 19 incident in which he allegedly threw gasoline on a 22-year-old man and set him ablaze because of another ongoing dispute. The

Rauner says he’ll be ‘champion’ for farmers The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner said Thursday he would work to reduce taxes and regulatory burdens on farmers and would travel the globe on his own dime to promote Illinois products if elected.

The Winnetka businessman, who is trying to unseat Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn, stopped at a farm in the central Illinois community of Lincoln. He also introduced a coalition of supporters from the agriculture industry that’s backing his campaign.

“As governor, I will be a champion for Illinois agriculture,” Rauner said in an emailed statement.

But Quinn’s campaign criticized a four-page “vision for agriculture” Rauner also released Thursday, saying it lacked substance.

“The farmers of Illinois know a pig in a poke when they see one,” spokeswoman Izabela Miltko said.

Miltko noted that under Quinn the state has been a national leader in soybean and corn production and agriculture exports. She also said Rauner’s plan to roll back the state’s income tax rate would have a “devastating impact” on rural education.

Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner talks to central Illinois farmers Thursday, saying a coalition from the state’s agriculture industry is backing his bid to unseat Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn in Lincoln. Rauner, a Winnetka businessman, says he will be a champion for agriculture, traveling the globe on his own dime to promote Illinois products and working to reduce regulatory burdens.

Rauner has denied that claim, and said Thursday his administration would fund agricultural education options from elementary through college levels. He also said Quinn’s plan to make the state’s 2011 income tax increase permanent will

hurt farmers, just as it would other businesses.

Even the upcoming Illinois State Fair – a showcase for the agriculture community – became fodder for the debate.

Rauner pointed to recent reports that part of the roof

at the fairground’s grandstand is falling apart, requiring costly emergency repairs. He said it was a sign that government “bureaucracy” wasn’t properly investing in the facility.

The comments came the same day that fair officials

who are part of Quinn’s administration boasted about several improvements at the facility.

Those projects were funded through a capital construction program Quinn signed into law shortly after he took office.

Agency could cut hours at Illinois historic sites The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Budget cuts will force the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency to consider cutting hours at some state historic sites after the Labor Day holiday weekend, agency director Amy Martin said.

“We wanted to make it through the Labor Day holiday to accommodate people who have travel plans,” Martin told The Springfield State

Journal-Register on Wednesday. “We’re looking at trying to target it so that it’s not all 26 sites.”

The agency is working on specifics and will try to maintain hours as much as they can at popular sites, like those involving Abraham Lincoln, Martin said. The agency’s budget for historic site operations was cut by $1.1 million for the fiscal year that started July 1-19 percent less than the previous fiscal year.

“We wanted to make it through the Labor Day holiday to accommodate people who have travel plans.”

Amy Martin Illinois Historic Preservation Agency director Agency figures show that

more than 1.3 million people visited eight state historic sites in the Springfield and Petersburg area last year.

The new hours also will take into account school field trips in the fall.

“We have so many school groups coming in, and we don’t want to affect those,” Martin said. “Teachers plan those so far in advance as well.”

Spokesman Chris Wills said the agency is talking with legislative leaders about re-

storing the money to its budget early next year.

State Senate President John Cullerton, a Chicago Democrat, told the newspaper’s editorial board last month that restoring historic site funding should be a priority.

Chicago mayor defends welcoming immigrant kids

CHICAGO – Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said bringing to Chicago some 1,000 immigrant children who have fled Central America is simply the right thing to do.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported that Emanuel believes welcoming the children who are part of an influx of immigrants across the U.S. border with Mexico “speaks to who we are as a city” and to the city’s values.

President Barack Obama’s administration in recent weeks approached Emanuel about perhaps housing 1,000 immigrant children in Chicago sites bankrolled by the federal government, complete with federally-funded security and support services.

The Emanuel administration has also asked Chicago law firms to donate their services.

Demoted worker shoots CEO, kills self in Chicago

CHICAGO – A demoted executive shot and critically wounded his company’s CEO before fatally shooting himself Thursday inside a high-rise office building in downtown Chicago’s bustling financial district, police said.

The worker pulled a gun after entering the 17th-floor office to privately meet with the CEO, and during a struggle for the weapon, the CEO was shot in his head and abdomen, Chicago Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said. The gunman then fatally shot himself.

“Apparently he was despondent over the fact that he got demoted,” McCarthy said, adding that the alleged shooter was among “a number of people” being demoted as the company downsized.

The alleged gunman was later identified by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s office as 60-year-old Anthony DeFrances.

A man by the same name is list-

ed as an executive on the website for ArrowStream, a supply-chain management technology company whose address is on the 17th floor of Bank of America building, where the shootings occurred.

The company’s CEO is Steven LaVoie, according to the site.

Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago confirmed that a man named Steven LaVoie was in critical condition in the hospital, but declined to elaborate. Police said the victim of the shooting was taken to Northwestern, but messages left with police and ArrowStream were not returned Thursday.

According to ArrowStream’s website, LaVoie founded the company in 2000, and DeFrances joined the next year and was currently its chief technology officer.

Both men are listed as married with three children.

Police were called just before 10 a.m. to the building, which is a few blocks from the Willis Tower and a block from the Chicago Board of Trade.

Officers cordoned off the immediate area outside, and SWAT

team members and other officers rushed inside. They found two men on the floor, both of them shot, according to police.

Workers elsewhere in the building said they received warnings from building security over the intercom and in emails around 10 a.m. telling them there was a security situation in the lobby and to stay at their desks.

Chicago ordinance requires permits for marijuana shops

CHICAGO – Chicago aldermen have approved an ordinance requiring medical marijuana retailers to obtain a special use permit before setting up a shop.

The city council passed the measure Wednesday. Alderman Edward Burke sponsored the ordinance. He told the Chicago Sun-Times it gives Chicagoans a voice in the process because each permit will require a public hearing.

The state’s new medical cannabis law bars marijuana dispensaries from locating within 1,000 feet of a school or day care.

Dispensaries also can’t be located in a house or apartment or in any area zoned for residential use.

Illinois will allow up to 13 dispensaries in Chicago.

Consumer advocates watching Exelon deal with Integrys

CHICAGO – Energy watchdog groups are worried that Exelon’s plan to buy one of its business competitors will be bad for northern Illinois electricity customers.

Exelon Corp. said Wednesday that it’s buying the retail business of Integrys for $60 million.

Integrys Energy Services sells electricity and natural gas to about 1.2 million customers in 22 states and Washington DC. Many northern Illinois customers switched from Exelon subsidiary Commonwealth Edison to Integrys last year to get cheaper rates.

Howard Learner is executive director of the Environmental Law and Policy Center. He says Exelon’s acquisition of Integrys could reduce competition and lead to higher utility bills and

fewer renewable energy options.

The deal doesn’t include Integrys’ solar energy business.

Chicago-based Exelon says Integrys Energy Services will become part of its Constellation unit.

‘American Idol’ to have auditions at state fair

SPRINGFEILD – There’s a chance you could walk away from the Illinois State Fair this year with more than just saltwater taffy, political ephemera and a tummy ache. You could snare a recording contract.

The popular television talent-search program “American Idol” will conduct open auditions for its annual season-long contest in the fair’s opening days, Aug. 8 and 9.

“The big guys [celebrity hosts] aren’t going to be here to do the tryouts, but if you get through this tryout, you don’t have to go to the big auditoriums and wait with 50,000 people,” state fair manager Amy Bliefnick said Thursday at the fairgrounds.

NATION BRIEFS State Dept: ‘No American is proud’ of CIA tactics WASHINGTON – The State Department has endorsed the broad conclusions of a harshly critical Senate report on the CIA’s interrogation and detention practices after the 9/11 attacks, a report that accuses the agency of brutally treating terror suspects and misleading Congress, according to a White House document.

“This report tells a story of which no American is proud,” said the four-page document, which contains the State Department’s preliminary proposed talking points in response to the classified Senate report, a summary of which is expected to be released in the coming weeks.

Veterans health care bill aims to alleviate delays WASHINGTON – The final House-Senate compromise veterans’ bill aims to alleviate delays many patients have faced in getting treatment at Veterans Affairs hospitals and clinics and end the widespread practice of covering up long wait times for appointments. The legislation also makes it easier to fire hospital administration and other senior VA executives. Congressional budget analysts put the cost of the bill at $16.3 billion over three years and estimate it will add $10 billion to federal deficits over the next 10 years.

The legislation: • Devotes $10 billion to pay private doctors to treat qualifying veterans who can’t get prompt appointments at the VA’s nearly

1,000 hospitals and outpatient clinics, or those who live far from them. Only veterans who enrolled in VA care as of Aug. 1 or live at least 40 miles away are eligible for outside care.

• Devotes $5 billion to hire more doctors, nurses and other medical and mental health professionals.

• Authorizes $1.3 billion to open 27 new VA outpatient clinics and other medical facilities in 18 states and Puerto Rico.

• Grants the VA secretary authority to fire poor-performing senior executives.

• Expands a scholarship program for children of veterans killed in the line of duty to include surviving spouses.

• Allows all veterans and eligible dependents to qualify for in-state tuition at public colleges and universities under the Post-9/11 GI Bill.

• Cuts funding for annual bonuses for VA employees to $360 million.

Obama order presses contractors to obey laws WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama moved Thursday to require federal contractors to give their workers more rights in labor disputes, putting his pen to an executive order the day after the House voted to sue him for allegedly exceeding his presidential powers. In an election-year dare to Republicans, Obama said congressional obstinacy would only embolden him to take even more aggressive actions on his own.

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio defends the work of the GOP on Thursday during a brief news conference on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., as Congress prepares to leave for a five-week summer recess.

Congress races press VA, highway bills before recess

By DAVID ESPO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Congress ran full-tilt into election-year gridlock over immigration Thursday and staggered toward a five-week summer break with no agreement in sight on legislation to cope with the influx of young immigrants flocking illegally to the United States.

Prospects were considerably brighter for bipartisan measures to improve veterans’ health care and prevent a cutoff in highway construction aid. Officials said both bills appeared likely to clear Congress by day’s end, and that legislation to send Israel funds for its missile defense system might also pass.

But three months before midterm elections, the unbreakable dispute over immigration exposed longstanding differences inside Republican ranks, postponing the start

of the House’s vacation one day until Friday. And a new outburst of harsh partisan rhetoric between leading officials in both parties served as yet another reminder that after 18 months in office, the current Congress has little to show for its efforts apart from abysmally low public approval ratings.

House Speaker John Boehner accused Democrats of pursuing a “nutso scheme” of trying to seize on the border crisis to try and grant a path to citizenship to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally.

Despite the attack on Democrats, it was Republican unity that cracked first.

A few hours after Boehner spoke, Republicans abruptly canceled a vote on their own border security legislation, a $659 million measure that also would make it easier to deport the children from Central America now flooding

into the United States. They did so after a revolt by tea party-aligned GOP lawmakers, some of whom had conferred with Texas Sen. Ted Cruz the night before.

They argued that the leadership’s offer of a vote on a companion bill, even if the legislation were approved, would fall short of reversing a 2012 administration policy under which 500,000 immigrants living in the country illegally have obtained work permits.

So chaotic was the day that after initially announcing the House had taken its last vote, Republicans abruptly reversed course and announced plans to reconvene Friday for a possible vote on legislation related to border security and immigration – details yet to be determined.

Asked what would change overnight, Rep. Spencer Bachus of Alabama said of fellow Republicans: “I’m hoping some people will grow up.”

W. Africa Ebola outbreak tops 700 deaths

By CLARENCE ROY–MACAULAY and KRISTA LARSON The Associated Press FREETOWN, Sierra Leone – The death toll from the worst recorded Ebola outbreak in history surpassed 700 in West Africa as security forces went house-to-house in Sierra Leone’s capital Thursday looking for patients and others exposed to the disease.

Fears grew as the United States warned against travel to the three infected countries –Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia – and Sierra Leone’s soccer team was blocked from boarding a plane in Nairobi, Kenya, that was to take them to the Seychelles for a game on Saturday. Airport authorities in Kenya said Seychelles immigration told them to prevent the team from traveling.

Almost half of the 57 new deaths reported by the World Health Organization occurred in Liberia, where two Americans, Dr. Kent Brantly of Texas and Nancy Writebol, a North Carolina-based missionary, also are sick with Ebola.

At the White House, press secretary Josh Earnest said the U.S. is looking into options to bring them back to the U.S. Officials at Atlanta’s Emory University Hospital said they expected one of the Americans to be transferred there “within the next several days.” The hospital declined to identify which aid worker, citing privacy laws.

by SIM, a Christian missions organization. Her husband, David, is close by but can only visit his wife through a window or dressed in a hazmat suit, the statement said.

“There was only enough [of the experimental serum] for one person. Dr. Brantly

asked that it be given to Nancy Writebol,” said Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan’s Purse, another aid organization that has been working in Liberia during the Ebola crisis.

Brantly, who works for the aid group, did receive a unit of blood from a 14-year-old boy who had survived Ebola because of the doctor’s care, Graham said in a statement.

Giving a survivor’s blood

to a patient might be aimed at seeing whether any antibodies the survivor made to the virus could help someone else fight off the infection. This approach has been tried in previous Ebola outbreaks with mixed results.

No further details were provided on the experimental treatment. There is currently no licensed drug or vaccine for Ebola, and patients can only be given supportive care

to keep them hydrated. There are a handful of experimental drug and vaccine candidates for Ebola and while some have had promising results in animals including monkeys, none has been rigorously tested in humans.

The disease has continued to spread through bodily fluids as sick people remain out in the community and cared for by relatives without protective gear.

Anger over the law led to Walker being forced to stand for recall in 2012; he won, making him the first governor in U.S. history to withstand such a vote.

The 5-2 state Supreme Court ruling is another victory for Walker as he heads into the statewide election. Federal courts twice said the law, which limits public workers to bargaining only over base wage increases no greater than inflation, constitutional.

“No matter the limitations or ‘burdens’ a legislative enactment places on the collective bargaining process, collective bargaining

remains a creation of legislative grace and not constitutional obligation,” Justice Michael Gableman wrote for the court’s conservative majority.

for safety?

Rep. John Mica, a Florida Republican who convened the Transportation subcommittee hearing, said he’s concerned a growing numbers of drivers on U.S. roadways are increasingly impaired with a mix of drugs and alcohol. But with no test to determine if a driver is high on THC, the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, it’s nearly impossible to gauge the danger. Instead, he said, it’s only after a fatal crash that investigators can determine if a driver has measurable levels of THC in his bloodstream.

“There is no standard test for drivers,” Mica said. “We have no acceptable test and no way of telling if people are impaired.”

Rep. Gerald Connolly, D-Va., countered that it’s just as possible that marijuana doesn’t pose as dangerous a risk as alcohol for drivers, suggesting that high drivers may slow down rather than recklessly speed, citing a study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Connolly said studies suggest the effects of pot can dissipate in relatively short order.

NATION BRIEFS Wisconsin Supreme Court upholds 2011 union law MADISON, Wis. – The fight over Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker’s signature policy achievement, a law effectively ending collective bargaining for most public employees, ended Thursday with the state Supreme Court declaring it to be constitutional.

Passage of the law in 2011 put Wisconsin at the center of a nationwide battle over union rights and fueled Walker’s rise to national prominence as he entered the mix of possible 2016 presidential candidates.

Driving high questioned on busy day in Congress WASHINGTON – Amid rancorous debate over other weighty issues Thursday on Capitol Hill, lawmakers wondered aloud whether driving cars after smoking marijuana is dangerous.

By KARIN LAUB & JOHN HEILPRIN The Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Nearly a month into Israel’s fierce assault on Hamas in Gaza, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is facing mounting domestic pressure to seek war crimes charges against Israel at the International Criminal Court.

He has hesitated in the past because such a move would instantly put the Palestinians on a risky collision course with Israel. But with about 1,400 Palestinians killed in Gaza, according to health officials, Abbas has signaled he might move ahead – cautiously.

Palestinian officials said Thursday that Abbas asked all Palestinian political factions, including Hamas and the smaller group Islamic Jihad, to give their written consent to such a move. Different PLO factions signed up in a meeting in the West Bank earlier this week, while Abbas is still waiting

for a response from Hamas and Islamic Jihad, they said.

In trying to make a case against Israel, Abbas could also expose Hamas, a bitter rival turned potential political partner, to war crimes prosecution because it has fired thousands of rockets from Gaza at Israeli communities over the years.

“This option is a double-edged sword,” Abbas’ Fatah movement wrote on its official Facebook page Thursday, saying he would only move ahead once he has the approval of Hamas.

In Geneva, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay on Thursday accused both Israel and Hamas militants of violating the rules of war.

She said Hamas is violating international humanitarian law by “locating rockets within schools and hospitals, or even launching these rockets from densely populated areas.” But she added that this does not absolve Israel from disregard-

Pillay said the Israeli government has defied international law in Gaza by attacking civilian areas such as schools, hospitals, homes and U.N. facilities.

“None of this appears to me to be accidental,” Pillay said of Israel. “They appear to be defying – deliberate defiance of – obligations that international law imposes on Israel.”

Pillay also took aim at the U.S., Israel’s main ally, for providing financial support for Israel’s “Iron Dome” anti-rocket defense system. “No such protection has been provided to Gazans against the shelling,” she said.

Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor declined comment on Pillay’s allegations and on the Palestinian deliberations concerning the ICC. Israeli officials have said Israel is acting in self-defense by targeting Hamas’ military arsenal and rocket-launching sites.

ROZSYPNE, Ukraine – As mortar fire landed nearby, an international team of investigators finally reached the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 wreckage site Thursday and got their first look at a scene experts fear has been badly compromised in the two weeks since the plane was blown out of the sky.

For the families of the 298 victims, it was an important start in locating and recovering bodies still out in the open and building a case against those who perpetrated the tragedy.

Harun Calehr, the uncle of two young victims of the disaster, said by telephone from his home in the U.S. that he was happy investigators had reached the site. But Calehr said he remains concerned that dozens of bodies haven’t been retrieved.

“It’s been two weeks. I just hope they can get there now and do their job,” Calehr said from Houston. “The only thing keeping me sane is being religious, hoping for something positive.”

As the investigators – two each from the Netherlands and Australia – made an initial survey of the area shortly after lunchtime, fighting raged between government forces and pro-Russian sep-

aratist rebels, and mortar shells rained down on fields in a nearby village.

Despite the dangers, the team called the one-hour inspection a success.

“Today was more about an assessment of the site than it was of a search,” said Australian Federal Police commander Brian McDonald.

Up to 80 bodies are still at the site, said Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop, speaking to the Australian Broadcasting Corp.

Ukraine and the U.S. contend the plane was shot down by the rebels July 17 with a Russian-supplied missile. The rebels deny it.

For days, clashes along routes to the wreckage site had kept investigators from reaching the area to find and retrieve bodies that have been decaying in the 90-degree heat. Independent observers warned that evidence was being tampered with.

But after negotiations, the investigators were allowed through the final rebel checkpoint at the village of Rozsypne on Thursday afternoon by a rifle-toting militiaman who then fired a warning shot to prevent reporters from accompanying the convoy.

The militiaman said there was still fighting in Rozsypne as the Ukrainian army seeks to take back territory from the rebels.

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

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Thumbs-up to people coming together to help communities The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to Micah McBride of Joliet. He recently organized an 18-member team of Boy Scouts and other youth and adults willing to roll up their sleeves and work. Together, they installed a safety border and 14,000 pounds of rubber mulch so the children at Families of Faith Christian Academy in Channahon could use their new playground.

Several years ago, this now-14-year-old teen was hyperactive and unfocused in his activities. Today, he has distinct leadership abilities, a heart for service and clear goals for his future.

The children who attend programs at Families of Faith Christian Academy are the beneficiaries of his good graces.

Thumbs-down: to speeders. Not a week after a truck going over the speed limit crashed into three vehicles and four people are killed on Interstate 55, and an accident on Route 6 near Morris left two dead and two others severely injured, a driver from Chicago was clocked going 140 mph on Route 53 in Elwood.

You can’t say it enough: Speed, when it comes to driving, kills. But many motorists just don’t take it seriously.

Elwood police say the driver’s response to being told he was clocked at 140 mph was that he was an “expert driver.”

Thumbs-up: to the Plainfield Village Board and Plainfield Plan Commission for holding a joint meeting to sort out differences. Plan commissioners were disturbed that a Dunkin’ Donuts plan was hardly considered by the Village Board after a long process in which the commission tried to get the project right before recommending it for approval.

We don’t have any easy answers for how to handle such situations in the future. But we give Plainfield officials credit for coming together to work on finding better ways to work together.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Salem’s secret treasure, hidden from locals SALEM, Mass. – For four generations, members of my family have walked through the doors of the Hawthorne Hotel here on Washington Square, attending meetings of Rotary or the Chamber of Commerce, stepping downstairs into the basement for teen parties, mingling in the lobby after Thanksgiving morning 5K races that took our family harriers down Derby Street, past the Customs House where Nathaniel Hawthorne once worked (and took inspiration from an actual house with seven gables) and around the shoreline.

One of us was an immigrant settler, another sold auto insurance, a third a lawyer, still another was in real estate, and one was a cub reporter intoxicated with the idea of finding out what secrets were held close to the breast of the

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE David M. Shribman old town.

And for all that time, amid all that Rotary camaraderie and pledges of allegiance to the flag, all those stuffy chamber conclaves and March of Dimes meetings, none of us knew – none of us suspected – that what sat six stories above us was one of the great mysterious enclaves of all of maritime Massachusetts – perhaps, as Yankee Magazine was to put it, “the most unusual room in New England.”

So in my sixth decade – and the 12th decade of my family’s ties to this old community – I finally watched the key turn in a tucked-away corner of the top

floor of the hotel and saw the door open to the secret meeting place of the Salem Marine Society, founded 1766.

Some perspective: 1766 was the year Bonnie Prince Charlie emerged as the Stuart claimant to the English throne, the year the Stamp Act was repealed, the year Thomas Malthus and Barbara Fritchie were born, the year Benjamin Franklin sponsored John Mills for membership in the Royal Society.

Another perspective: From this secluded room it is possible to look into Salem Harbor and across all the way to Marblehead, glimpsing in one sighting two of the most important sea towns of our Colonial past.

It was in that Colonial past that seamen, masters and merchants long forgotten formed

the Salem Marine Society, their intention to exchange navigational information and to provide benefits to sea captains in distress and widows in need. Some 220 years later, Ronald Reagan would celebrate that notion as community voluntarism. The group still meets, kind of a Skull and Bones of Boston’s North Shore, a secret even to the son of a mayor, state senator and judge, a man who later would be elected to Congress and eventually own the hotel himself.

“I learned my bartending skills as a law student in this hotel in the 1950s and had no idea that all those floors above me was a national treasure,” says Michael J. Harrington, who served in the House from 1969 to 1979 – and who sponsored me as a college intern in his congressional office 40 years ago. “I grew up in and around this, and didn’t know a thing about it.”

What none of us knew is that in these waxed-walnut chambers, shaped like a captain’s cabin and outfitted with real captains’ chairs, were medals, navigational instruments, barometers and hygrometers, and the sorts of portraits found in old Yankee men’s clubs, except these subjects are sea captains.

It makes a visitor wonder, for example, about the life and outlook of the 281st member of the society, Capt. Thomas West, outfitted with a face like Oliver Cromwell’s. West joined the society in 1806, was a ship’s master from 1834 to 1847 and died two years later in Salem.

Assembled here, too, is a picture of every person who ever belonged to this society, 1,037 Salem souls in all. Some of the names, themselves evocative of a time and a place: Charles Henry Allen, John Buttells Knight, Josiah Dewing, Dudley Leavitt Pickman and one named Jones Very. Another name: Nathaniel Bowditch, sometimes considered the founder of maritime navigation and perhaps, even accounting for Hawthorne, Salem’s most influential writer.

(A mathematician and astronomer, Bowditch was

the author of “The American Practical Navigator,” which has gone into more than four dozen printings, the latest only five years ago. Hawthorne spawned more term papers, but Bowditch saved more lives.)

Navigation was the principal draw for the society, which constructed a beacon on nearby Baker’s Island in 1791, saving sailors from fateful encounters with dangerous ledges. An improved lighthouse followed in 1798.

Over the years, a remarkable library was assembled, the collection mostly treating with sea life and travel, but if you feel the need to inspect the logs of the American Board of Supervising Inspectors of the Bays, Sounds and Tides of the United States, this is the place. You might also linger on a volume on the lighthouse stations of the U.S. government.

Salem no longer is home to the nation’s most important mariners, and the phrase “China trade,” once so evocative in this community, no longer refers to clipper ships leaving Derby Wharf for the faraway East. Membership today is open to descendants of members and to ship owners.

A full century later, a seadrawn president reflected on the draw of the oceans. “The sea changes and the light changes and ships change,” John F. Kennedy said in his America’s Cup speech of 1962.

“We have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears.

We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea ... we are going back from whence we came.”

Before I departed the secret room in the city from whence I came, I signed the guest book, the first to do so in 359 days.

Part of the story of my native city is the same as the story of yours: forgotten tales and hidden secrets that ought to be forgotten and hidden no longer.

They are worth exploring, even if they are on the seventh floor of a hotel that is so much a part of your mental landscape you hardly notice it anymore.

Joliet takes 2nd game in its series against Greys

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent

• Friday, August 1, 2014

JOLIET – Adam Giacalone’s four RBIs helped the Joliet Slammers beat the Frontier Greys 13-2 Thursday before 1,704 at Silver Cross Field.

The win improved Joliet to 26-39 in the Frontier League while dropping the Greys to 2243. The rubber match of the series is at 7:05 p.m. Friday. The Greys beat Joliet 12-0 Wednesday.

The Slammers prevented a run in the first inning when shortstop Max Casper’s relay throw to catcher Adam Lewis cut down Frontier’s Jon Dziomba at the plate to end the inning. Dziomba was tossed from the game for plowing into Lewis instead of sliding.

Dziomba had reached on an infield single and was trying to score on Jon Minucci’s double to left field.

Joliet took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the second inning.

Russell Moldenhauer hit a leadoff double to left. He advanced to third on Giacalone’s groundout and scored on Matt Weaver’s sacrifice fly to right.

The Slammers added to their lead in the bottom of the third inning. Lewis hit a one-out single to right. Chris Epps followed with a single to center. Casper singled to left to load the bases for Grant DeBruin. His RBI single scored Lewis. Russell Moldenhauer then walked to score Epps. Giacalone’s sacrifice fly scored Casper to make it 4-0.

Slammers starting pitcher Travis Bradshaw (2-1), a 6-foot7 right-hander, pitched out of a jam in the fifth inning. After he recorded two outs, he gave up a double to Zach Tanner and walked Joe Rapp. Bradshaw struck out Minucci to end the inning.

Ditchman also All-American at Fargo

“Football has always been my first love, and wrestling is a close second. I want to play football in college more than I want to wrestle. But this definitely opens a lot of doors, and I want to keep all of those doors open.”

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – A year ago, Bryan Ditchman qualified for the USA Wrestling Cadet Freestyle Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota, but didn’t go for just that one competition.

So this year, the junior heavyweight from Lincoln-Way Central was determined to qualify in Freestyle and Greco to make the expense of his trip west more worthwhile.

Not only did Ditchman assure his spots in Fargo following state titles in both styles, but once he got there, he doubled as an All-American after two top-four efforts.

He went 10-3 during the two competitions, losing only to the eventual champions in each style. After placing third in Greco, he settled for fourth place in Freestyle.

Ditchman lost to Ohio’s Kevin Vough in the Greco semifinals. In the Freestyle meet, he fell 9-6 to Oregon’s Osawaru Odighizuwa, the runner-up in Greco, during the quarterfinals and then dropped another decision to Vough in the third-place match.

“Obviously I wanted to win a title, but I’m still pleased to be an All-American in both styles and I only lost to both of the national champions,” Ditchman said. “I made it in Freestyle last year but didn’t want to go for just one style. So this year, I made sure to make it in both. I’m happy about the success that I’ve had and with the support from my family and friends.

“I’m still surprised that I placed higher in Greco than Freestyle, which I’m better at.

But the top-three finishers in Greco were on the same side of the bracket in Freestyle. I lost a close quarterfinal match to the eventual champion and then had to face the Greco champ for third place. You have to go into every match with a different mindset since you need to get some quick wins since you may have to go the full six minutes in the next match.”

Only 13 athletes from Illinois achieved All-American honors in both styles, and Ditchman was one of just nine

Bryan Ditchman Junior heavyweight place at 285 at the 2014 IHSA Class 3A finals, and everyone who finished ahead of him graduated. The following week, he helped Central earn its second-straight trip to the dual team state finals.

Based on success as a sophomore and his performances during the summer, he figures to be the man to beat in his weight class in the upcoming season.

“I’m obviously looking at

winning the state championship this season, especially since everyone ahead of me was a senior,” Ditchman said.

“But I’m going to remain humble and not get too overconfident and just go out and wrestle my style.”

After taking a much-deserved week off, Ditchman is setting his sights on his first love, which is football. He hopes that he and his teammates can help the Knights make it back to the state playoffs for the first time since 2009.

“Football has always been my first love, and wrestling is a close second,” Ditchman said. “I want to play football in college more than I want to wrestle. But this definitely opens a lot of doors, and I want to keep all of those doors open.

“A lot of our starting football players are also wrestlers, so we want to bring that success to the football field. We’ve been 4-5 the last two years, so it would be nice to get to the playoffs. We had way too many close games last year, and we have too much talent and athleticism to not get into the playoffs.”

Bryan Ditchman earned All-American honors in Cadet Greco and Freestyle and helped Team Illinois to titles in both events at last week’s USA Wrestling Nationals in Fargo, N.D. from this state to pull off that feat in the Cadet competition.

Only seven Illinois athletes turned in top-four finishes in both events in the Cadet and Junior meets.

Ditchman also helped Team Illinois to win a pair of championships in Fargo. The Greco team set a new points record after beating Minnesota 101-57

for the title and the Freestyle squad defeated Pennsylvania 88-58 for top honors.

The Team Illinois title in Cadet Freestyle was its eighth straight national championship in any style extending over three years. But that historic streak was snapped in the Junior Freestyle competition.

ner in scoring position.

Illinois Grey loaded the bases against him in the fifth on a walk, scratch single and solid single. But he made a stop on a shot up the middle for a 1-2 forceout before striking out the last two hitters to escape unscathed.

“Nick just wanted to make it exciting,” Hall said.

“I felt OK,” said Dalesandro, who a week ago pitched coach Jared Voss’ JCA team to the Phil Lawler Classic summer tournament state championship. “There wasn’t a lot of pressure here. I just wanted to throw strikes and get them out.”

Of course, strikeouts came in handy to combat the situa-

tions he was in Thursday.

“I’ve got that mentality that I always want to strike guys out,” Dalesandro said. “That’s good and bad. It’s like Coach Voss said after the [title] game against Nazareth, I didn’t try to strike everyone out, and it went real well.

“I think I’m starting to become more of a pitcher than just a thrower.”

From an offensive standpoint, Dalesandro had a hit against Illinois Grey. Mitch Matuszewski (Lincoln-Way East) doubled into the left-field corner and middle infielder Cody Grosse (Joliet West) had an infield hit and made two superb defensive plays.

Grosse charged slow

grounders and retired the hitters twice with throws on the run, the first when he was patrolling second base and the second when he was at shortstop.

“Cody Grosse is a phenomenal player,” Hall said. “I can’t believe more people aren’t jumping on him.”

Illinois White, which finished the event 3-1-1, stranded 11 runners, eight in the first four innings.

“We never got the hit we needed,” Hall said. “Of course, we faced two good pitchers.

“But winning and losing isn’t the main thing. The experience is great for all the kids.

So many of these young men have great futures in the game.”

CUBS 3, ROCKIES 1

Tigers make big trade, Sox win

Cubs win as Bonifacio, Russell traded to Braves

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press DETROIT – John Danks took the mound amid speculation he could be traded.

Instead, it was the opposing team that provided the deadline drama – and that was fine with the White Sox left-hander.

“This is where I’m comfortable,” Danks said. “I’ve gotten to know a lot of lifelong friends here and I’m happy to be here.”

Danks wasn’t at his best Thursday, but Moises Sierra had four hits and Jose Abreu

and Adam Eaton added three apiece to lift the Sox to a 7-4 victory over the Detroit Tigers.

The game quickly became a secondary concern in the Motor City when the Tigers acquired star left-hander David Price from Tampa Bay in a three-team deal.

Danks allowed four runs and seven hits in five innings.

He wasn’t traded, but his Detroit counterpart Drew Smyly was. Smyly pitched five innings and allowed four runs on 11 hits, then was dealt in the trade for Price.

Danks remains with the Sox. “Truthfully, it wasn’t even a topic of conversation in here between anybody,” Danks said.

“There’s nothing anybody can do about it. It’s part of the game and yeah, I don’t think that had any effect on any of us to be honest.”

Joakim Soria (1-4) – another pitcher Detroit recently traded for – hit Paul Konerko with the bases loaded in the seventh to give the Sox a 5-4 lead.

Abreu extended his hitting streak to 20 games.

JOLIET – Joliet West senior Griffin McGuire started for Team Illinois White. He survived a rocky first inning and settled in after that.

Joliet Catholic’s Nick Dalesandro did a masterful job escaping jams in the fourth and fifth innings.

West’s Robert Talarico worked an inning and allowed a run-scoring single after walking two hitters.

Illinois White dropped its final game Thursday to Illinois Grey, 4-0, in the Midwest Baseball Classic showcase at Plainfield South. While the local trio did a majority of the pitching in

a losing effort, they battled.

“Griffin [McGuire] allows one run if we catch the ball in left field,” Illinois White manager Jim Hall said.

Instead, McGuire yielded three runs in his three-inning stint, all in the first inning but only one of which was earned.

The only runner against him in the second and third innings reached on an error.

Hall, the Hall of Famer and former Lockport coach, said Talarico “worked from behind” in his inning, the sixth.

“But he knows what he needs to do.”

Dalesandro hit the first batter he faced in the fourth inning and then struck out the side, the last two with the run-

BOURBONNAIS – All the fast-paced sparring with skills development coach Joe Kim post-practice leaves its marks – literally – on rookie defensive tackles Will Sutton and Ego Ferguson.

There are bruised forearms, fingers that sting and rough hands.

“We call him ‘Master,’ ” Sutton said during Bears training camp at Olivet Nazarene University. “He’s a black belt, so when it comes to hands [work], he gets excited. The hat goes backward and it’s go time.”

All of it goes into helping Sutton and Ferguson master their crafts for the NFL’s cutthroat trenches. The duo is the future of the Bears’ defensive line, but also its depth for the 2014 season. Their efforts in the line’s rotation are as critical as first-round pick Kyle Fuller’s development at cornerback.

“They brought us here because they felt like we could do something,” Sutton said.

It’s their differences that make them stronger.

Sutton, a third-round pick from Arizona State, is the flashy, two-time Pac-12 defensive player of the year who meets the athletic criteria for the three-technique tackle spot.

Ferguson, the second-rounder from LSU, has the makeup to be a block-eating nose tackle who overpowers through leverage and brute strength.

“My personal belief is that they’re going to play in this league for a long time,” defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff said. “You have a prototypical one [-technique tackle] and three right there.”

Ferguson and Sutton have made sure to fill their minds with every piece of advice that Ratliff, Jared Allen, Lamarr Houston, Stephen Paea and others provide.

“I probably ask Jay Ratliff a thousand questions a day,” Ferguson said.

There’s only been six practices – four in pads – but Ferguson and Sutton have earned

the attention of the Bears’ offensive line.

Guard Matt Slauson said Ferguson shows up on film as “very aggressive.” But it’s his frequent battles with Sutton that have really left an impression.

“His mental side of the game I am very impressed with,” Slauson said. “The things that he picks up about what I do, now I have to change my whole game for him.

“A lot of times, you go against a rookie and you’re like, ‘Ah, I can just take a normal set because I know he doesn’t know a lot.’ But that worked for a day. He’s changed everything and now I’ve got to change. It’s awesome.”

The rookie duo doesn’t lack personality, either. If you need a laugh, Ferguson is your guy.

“He tells a lot of funny jokes,” Sutton said.

If you’re looking to dance, Sutton has the moves.

“He brings that West Coast swagger,” Ferguson said. “He likes to dance and he’s always saying, ‘For sure.’ Those are his favorite words.”

Like they should be, Sutton and Ferguson are nearly inseparable, having a bond that’s blossomed since the combine.

Their dorm rooms are next door and each acts as an alarm clock for the other. They go over film and walk to meetings as one. Sutton teaches Ferguson pass-rush moves, while Ferguson helps Sutton with his techniques against the run.

“We act like we’ve known each other for years,” Sutton said.

“It takes a lot of pressure off of you,” Ferguson said.

Defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni would be happy to hear they’re “leaning on each other” because he said “this is too hard to try to do all by yourself.”

But more trials await.

“We’re working into the second half of this thing,” coach Marc Trestman said. “Will they know their assignments? Where will the mental errors be? Will they have the energy to be able to continue to move forward?”

‘Homey and nice’ Morris music school adds a parlor touch to lessons and events

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND

If you go

dunland@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Perhaps Toni Brandolino doesn’t have enough on her plate.

She works as a full-time social worker for Senior Services Center of Will County and Joliet. She owns and teaches the Toni Brandolino School of Music in Morris.

And she’s added an extra layer of hospitality to her studio – one that she will bringing to The Timbers of Shorewood on Sunday.

That layer is homemade refreshments and plenty of them: hot appetizers, vegetables and her special homemade dip, a variety of pastries (regular and sugar-free) and an assortment of herbal teas served in carafes.

“I’ll make the food the night before,” Brandolino said, “and get there early to set it all up. I want it [program] to be relaxing and calming.”

This event, Brandolino stressed, is not a student recital. It’s a “musical tea,” a variety show format that also echoes the elegance of an afternoon tea party.

Featured within the mix of talent will be vocalists, guitarists and pianists performing classical pieces. The artists are either students or instructors from Brandolino’s studio.

The show will include Broadway tunes, sing-alongs, skits and a special performance by the studios Little Mozarts, preschool students who will sing “La Cucaracha” and “Alueta” accompanied by rhythm instruments they created.

“The curriculum introduces the kids to rhythm, pitch, high and low sounds,” said Sara Nielsen, who teaches vocals, piano and the Little Mozarts program.

JJC professor a Grammy quarterfinalist JOLIET – Joliet Junior College Music Coordinator Charles Morgan could win a Grammy after placing as a quarterfinalist in the national Music Educator Award competition for the second year in a row.

Morgan is among 222 other music educators in the United States, and 15 in Illinois, who have been named quarterfinalists for the Music Educator Award that will be presented by the Recording Academy and the Grammy Founda-

tion in February. Before this quarterfinalist round, there were 7,000 nominations in all.

If Morgan wins, he will receive a $10,000 prize. If he is one of the nine runner-ups, he will win $1,000, and JJC will receive a matching grant.

Morgan grew up playing the trombone in New Lenox. Musical influences include his first trombone teacher, Marvin Johnson; his junior high band director, Tom Goodwin; his

high school band director, Randy Kummer; and JJC’s Jerry E. Lewis.

Morgan began teaching at JJC since 1998. In addition to being music coordinator, Morgan is a music adviser and directs the JJC Jazz Band and JJC Community Band. After the Recording Academy and the Grammy Foundation’s quarterfinalist round, many nominees will be eliminated, and a list of semifinalists will be released in August.

“GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY” STARRING: Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper

PLOT: In the far reaches of space, an American pilot named Peter Quill finds himself the object of a manhunt after stealing an orb coveted by the villainous Ronan.

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action and for some language TIME: 2 hours, 1 minute VERDICT: At the height of their powers, our overlords at Marvel have deigned to prove, like an emperor tolerating a court jester, that they do, in fact, have a sense of humor. The Marvel universe, of course, isn’t entirely lacking comedy, as we’ve seen in “Iron Man” and “The Avengers.” But on the whole, the Marvel kingdom is built on an unshakable foundation of self-seriousness. The comic book studio seems to fear that if the solemnity of its fiction isn’t diligently guarded, people might start questioning whether all these men in spandex merit quite so much attention. Yet “Guardians of the Galaxy,” a 3-D space opera about a ragtag crew of mercenaries, is Marvel’s most irreverent film yet, and has a welcome, slightly self-mocking tone that dares to suggest intergalactic battles over orbs might actually be a tad silly. The problem with “Guardians of the Galaxy,” directed by James Gunn, is the weakness of the comedy it wears so proudly. It takes more than a soundtrack full of ’70s tunes, a talking raccoon and a few gags about “Footloose” to be funny. It’s “zany” in quotes. As if demonstrating its tonal distance from Marvel’s other planetary bodies, “Guardians of the Galaxy” takes place at the far reaches of space, where we find Peter Quill (Chris Pratt) skipping along on an abandoned planet. He removes his mask, presses play on a Walkman and does something normally sacrosanct in Marvel-land: He dances. Blaring is the irresistible 1974 hit “Come and Get Your Love” by Redbone, the first of many such old radio hits. The music, as we learned in the prologue, is from a mixtape given to Quill as a child by his cancer-stricken mother

shortly before her death. Distraught, he rushes outside only to – in quite the double-whammy – be beamed up by a spaceship. Twenty-six years later, Quill is a Han Solo-like scavenger who stumbles across a silver orb also sought by some powerfully evil forces: Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace, obscured by makeup but still a severe presence) and his boss, Thanos (Josh Brolin). The warm spirit of “Guardians” owes much to Pratt, the guileless, formerly doughy “Parks and Recreation” star. The resulting scrum for the orb introduces several more seekers: the green-skinned Gamora (Zoe Saldana), the hulking Drax (Dave Bautista) and a CGI odd couple: a bitterly sardonic raccoon named Rocket (Bradley Cooper) and his sidekick, a talking tree called Groot (Vin Diesel) who looks like he sprouted from “The Lord of the Rings.”

All reluctantly unite like a sarcastic “Dirty Dozen.” The film is terribly overstuffed, and many of the jokes get drowned out by the special effects.

Others, eager for any playfulness from Marvel, will surely be more excited by “Guardians of the Galaxy.” To them, I quote Solo: “Laugh it up, Fuzzball.”

“HERCULES” STARRING: Dwayne Johnson, John Hurt, Ian McShane

PLOT: Having endured his legendary twelve labors, Hercules, the Greek demigod, has his life as a sword-forhire tested when the King of Thrace and his daughter seek his aid in defeating a tyrannical warlord.

RATED: PG-13 for epic battle sequences, violence, suggestive comments, brief strong language and partial nudity TIME: 1 hour, 38 minutes VERDICT: You’ll have to say one thing for Brett Ratner’s production of “Hercules”: This movie has a sense of proportion. Running just over 90 minutes, the movie is often clunky, but at least it’s fast and unpretentious.

And its likable star, Dwayne Johnson, manages to murder legions without ever seeming sadistic. Less violent than “300,” less compelling than “Gladiator,” this new addition to the sword-and-sandals genre seems likely to please the fanboy audience and stir up some impressive box-office numbers. The film begins by recounting the legend of Hercules, with snippets of his famous 12 labors. But this is not the Steve Reeves version of the tale.

Johnson’s Hercules (as envisioned by comic book author Steve Moore) is a flawed hero. Bereft over the murders of his wife and children, Hercules

has joined up with a band of loyal comrades who will basically sell their services to the highest bidder. In other words, they’re mercenaries. But you can bet it won’t be too long before Hercules rediscovers a noble purpose.

That happens when he is enlisted by the lovely daughter of the lord of Thrace to save her kingdom from civil war. Let the mayhem begin. The story has a few twists up its sleeve, as heroes turn out to be treacherous and villains are more complex than first appearances suggest. There’s just enough plot to keep the movie lurching forward, and there are plenty of battle scenes to delight connoisseurs of carnage. (The movie’s PG-13 rating seems fairly lenient.) One problem with these battle scenes is the frenetic editing, an unfortunate staple of contemporary action pictures. On the positive side, the sets (by production designer Jean-Vincent Puzos, who also designed one of Ratner’s favorite movies, “Amour”) are impressive, and the crowd scenes, even if enhanced

by CGI, stir happy memories of films like “Spartacus” and “Ben-Hur.” The classy cast also elevates the picture.

Ian McShane gives a droll performance as a soothsayer who’s always surviving predictions of his own death.

John Hurt is working in the glorious tradition of Claude Rains in “The Adventures of Robin Hood” while Joseph Fiennes is doing a Basil Rathbone as his venal confederate. As the one woman in the troupe of mercenaries, Ingrid Bolso Berdal wields a mean bow and arrow. Tobias Santelmann (star of the Norwegian Oscar nominee “Kon-Tiki”) has an imposing presence as Hercules’ antagonist-turned-ally.

Some of these actors have won awards, but a trip to the dais is not likely to be in the future for our star.

Still, Johnson plays his role with good humor and more conviction than Steve Reeves could ever muster.

When he finally breaks free of his chains and bellows, “I am Hercules,” the audience responds with just the right degree of childish glee. There are some neat 3-D effects, but as with so many recent 3-D offerings, the format doesn’t seem absolutely essential. The cinematography by Ratner’s frequent collaborator Dante Spinotti is vibrant, and the musical score by Fernando Velazquez is rousing. Most important, the pacing is snappy. It may sound like a backhanded compliment to praise this sometimes cheesy movie for never taking itself too seriously, but in a summer of bloated spectacles, this modesty should not be underestimated. – The Associated Press

• Friday, August 1, 2014

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

RATED: PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action and brief strong language TIME: 2 hours, 10 minutes VERDICT: The biggest uprising in the sequel to 2011’s “Rise of the Planet of the Apes” is by its digitally created, nonhuman characters. Hail Caesar. That’s the ape played by Andy Serkis, the motion-capture maestro of creatures like Gollum and a much bigger ape, Kong. Serkis played Caesar in “Rise of the Planet Apes,” the surprisingly good origin story of the rebooted “Apes” franchise. “Dawn of the Planet of the Apes” belongs to the monkeys. Given that the apes communicate in sign language and spurts of English, this may be the biggest summer movie with so many subtitles. Whereas Pierre Boulle’s original “Planet of the Apes” was satirical, director Matt Reeves (“Cloverfield”) and screenwriters Rick Jaffa, Amanda Silver and Mark Bomback have given this “Apes” the grandly gloomy “Dark Knight” treatment, complete with an exceptional score by Michael Giacchino. There’s a pervasive jealousy to the primates in “Apes”: their comfort in nature and simplicity of life. Audiences, in fact, will cheer the animals over the humans. But there’s also a question of putting too much gravity on an essentially absurd story. Eventually we have screaming monkeys on horseback firing automatic weapons amid roaring flames. If there’s a failing of “Apes,” it’s that it feels like yet another manufactured franchise. Talented people like Reeves and Serkis are brought in like HGTV fixer-uppers to restore mossy pop-culture properties. But, alas, they’re very good at it. – The Associated Press

use, some strong language and violent situations TIME: 2 hours, 18 minutes VERDICT: There’s a delicious moment in “Get On Up,” Tate Taylor’s new James Brown biopic, when Brown – played by Chadwick Boseman, in a thrillingly magnetic performance – is about to appear on the T.A.M.I. Show, a multi-act concert filmed in 1964.

Backstage, the singer is informed that he and his band won’t be closing the show; that honor will be going to an up-and-coming British band called the Rolling Stones. Brown shakes off the disappointment, goes out and blows the roof off the place. Then he saunters over to the Stones, just four skinny blokes who don’t know what hit them. “Welcome to America,” he says. Did he say that in real life? No matter. Like many scenes in the film, it expresses Brown’s most important qualities: his indescribable drive as a performer and his almost blinding charisma. For that, kudos go to director Taylor and producers Brian Grazer and Mick Jagger (yes, that Mick Jagger, who’s made no secret of Brown’s influence on his own famous moves.)

But none of it would work, of course, without Boseman. And just as Brown, in life, upstaged pretty much everyone – including his bandmates, the Famous Flames – Boseman does the same here. The always excellent Viola Davis plays Brown’s mother, Susie, but since Susie left her son as a young boy, we don’t see enough of Davis.

The central relationship in Brown’s life, though, was with his friend and partner, Bobby Byrd, who stuck with him even as Brown’s ego pushed many away. As Byrd, Nelsan Ellis gives a thoughtful performance that, appropriately, grounds the film. Many biopics of performers follow a grating formula: Tough youth, obstacles overcome, fame discovered, more obstacles, descent into old age or worse.

Here, Tate and talented screenwriters Jez Butterworth and John-Henry Butterworth seek to avoid this by jumping around in time, ditching chronology for a thematic approach. It can get confusing, but it keeps us on our toes.

They also have Brown break the fourth wall at key moments. Alas, this isn’t done early or frequently enough to feel coherent. Perhaps there just wasn’t time; even at 138 minutes, the film has to barrel though parts of Brown’s long public life. (He died in 2006, at 73.) The music does sound fabulous throughout; one imagines producer Jagger had something to do with that.

(The vocals in the film are Brown’s; as for the dance moves, of course,

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

When things go well, do not stop thinking

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Edith Sitwell, an English poet who died in 1964, said, “I have often wished I had time to cultivate modesty. But I am too busy thinking about myself.”

A friend of mine said that all top bridge players have egos the size of planets. But they do not stop thinking. Even when things seem to be going well, they do not drop their guard.

This deal is a good example.

South is in four hearts. West leads the spade ace. What should happen after that?

South’s two-club rebid was New Minor Forcing. It announced at least game-invitational strength and asked North to describe his hand further. When North showed three-card heart support, South went for game in that suit. Yes, three no-trump would have been easy to make, with nine top tricks, but bidding isn’t always perfect.

Since East does not want West to shift, he should encourage spades enthusiastically by dropping his nine. West should then cash the spade king and lead a third round of the suit.

Let’s suppose East thoughtlessly switches to a club. South, who must play the trump suit without loss, should hope that East has the king and jack. Declarer takes the fourth trick with dummy’s club queen, plays a heart to his 10, crosses back to dummy with a diamond, leads a heart to his queen, cashes the heart ace and claims.

However, an East who is thinking will realize that, based on the point-count, West is unlikely to have a high club. Instead, East will lead his last spade, which promotes a trump trick for the defense.

ADVICE Diabetic friend suffers close call miles away Dear Abby: My husband and I have a lake house and invited a couple (close friends) to join us for a few days. The husband has cancer and has been taking chemo.

We wanted them both to rest, as the wife is his only caregiver. We all thought this would be a wonderful opportunity to relax and enjoy nature.

The second night they were there, the husband went to bed very early and the three of us were visiting. At one point, my friend went into the kitchen. When she didn’t come out, I went to check on her and found her close to a diabetic coma.

It was very frightening. She hadn’t eaten much dinner and her blood sugar had crashed to a dangerous level. Fortunately, we knew what to do because my dad was diabetic.

We were an hour from the nearest hospital and had no cell reception. We did not know where her medication was. My friend

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips was making no sense and couldn’t remember.

If you travel with someone you know has a medical condition, is it OK to ask where they keep their meds in case of an emergency? – Caring Friend In California Dear Caring Friend: Of course it’s OK. And a perfect way to lead up to that question would be to relate the story you have written to me.

Dear Abby: My husband, for the most part, is a happy-go-lucky, funny person during the day.

But once we sit down to dinner, he starts criticizing and making mean comments about me.

I have addressed this with him to no avail. I have tried ignoring his comments, changing the subject, asking calmly for him to make his concerns known before or

after rather than during the meal.

I have suggested we eat dinner away from the table or separately. I have sought the counsel of a therapist and tried implementing her suggestions.

I am at my wits’ end. Your thoughts, Abby? – It’s All Good, Until ...

Dear It’s All Good: When someone tells me, “It’s all good” and then describes a marriage in which her husband beats her down emotionally once a day, I have to wonder what her definition of “good” is. For whatever reason, your husband appears to be trying to punish you for something by deliberately upsetting you every evening. I think the wrong spouse may have seen the therapist.

Unless HE decides to get help and find a healthier way of channeling his anger/frustration, nothing will change.

Erectile dysfunction drugs are all about timing Dear Doctor K: Is there a difference between the drugs that are available for erectile dysfunction?

Dear Reader: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a problem faced, to one degree or another, by many middle-aged and older men. Since sildenafil (Viagra) was launched in 1998, men have been turning to medication to help address this problem.

There are currently four ED drugs on the market: sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), vardenafil (Levitra) and avanafil (Stendra). These drugs all work the same way: They lead to increased production of a chemical that causes blood flow into the penis to rise. Inside the penis is a spongy tissue. Like a sponge, when it fills with fluid it swells. The increased blood flow into the penis causes the “sponge” to swell and the penis to stay erect long enough for intercourse.

The main difference among the drugs has to do with timing – how quickly they begin to work and how long their effects last.

How soon the drugs start working ranges from 15 to 60 minutes. The onset time determines how soon you can engage in intercourse.

(I’ve put a table on my website,

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff AskDoctorK.com, listing the onset times and durations for the available ED drugs.)

Viagra and Levitra last about four to five hours (and sometimes up to 12 hours), while Stendra lasts about six. Cialis stays active in the body much longer than the other drugs; the window of opportunity ranges from 24 to 36 hours.

(That’s why it’s sometimes called the “weekend drug.”) Another version of Cialis, approved for daily use, keeps a steady supply of the drug in the bloodstream. It allows a man to be prepared for sex at any time.

Neither Viagra nor Levitra will work if you take either after a meal, as food blocks their absorption. Neither Cialis nor Stendra interacts with food this way.

Doctors usually offer sildenafil (Viagra) first. It’s been on the market longest, and its side effects and the medications and foods it interacts with are well known.

So far, the risks and side ef-

fects of all of these drugs seem to be roughly the same. So, if Viagra doesn’t work for you, you might have better luck with one of the others.

The ED drugs have brought happiness to many couples.

However, they don’t always work.

If a man has no sexual desire, or is on medicines that cause ED as a side effect, the ED drugs may not work. Severe blockage of the blood supply to the penis from atherosclerosis of the arteries leading to the penis also can interfere.

Men may also be anxious about their “performance.” Or they may have heart disease and be afraid that the physical exertion of sex will trigger heart problems (it rarely does). Or, finally, they may be anxious because they are having sex with someone other than their spouse.

Nevertheless, the drugs work more often than not. Your choice among them is something you should discuss with your doctor.

Teen lives on fast-food diet Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and considered to be a fast food “junky.” I am a hairstylist and I love my work. My roommate is also a hairstylist. Both of us hate to cook, so we both eat at fast-food restaurants. Many times we eat all three of our meals while on the run.

I’m sorry to say that I have gained 9 pounds in the past year, and this trend absolutely must stop. I’ll probably continue eating at fastfood restaurants because I will not be cooking.

My mother has told me she was reading about a special “fast food diet” somewhere in either the newspaper or a women’s magazine. She said it was still fast food, but it was healthier. I hope you will know about this, but I’m thinking it’s just wishful thinking on my mom’s part. – Lynne, Seattle, Wash.

Dear Lynne: Your mom was right, and it is not just wishful thinking. A registered dietician at New York Hospital in Manhattan developed a “fast food diet” that includes three meals a day, plus a snack. The secret is that the fast food menu is low in fat and includes plenty of fruits and vegetables.

The program includes these helpful tips: 1. Avoid anything labeled “big,” “deluxe,” “supreme,” or “whopper.” Plain-Jane items are lower in calories.

Even “extra-crispy” has about 100 calories more than “regular.”

2. Stay away from fatty extras at the salad bar, such as bacon bits, taco chips, croutons. Fill up on carrots, tomatoes, dark-green vegetables; use low-calorie dressings.

3. Ask for broiled or grilled chicken fillet sandwiches instead of

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace fried chicken.

4. Select a roast beef sandwich over a hamburger – about 250 calories less.

5. Pass on egg and sausage for breakfast.

Better choices are dry cereal with low-fat milk or an apple bran muffin.

Now that fast-food chains are offering nutritious choices, you CAN have it your way.

Good Luck!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and dating a guy who is 19.

He is on his own and has an apartment. He works full-time for his uncle building new houses.

My parents really like this guy very much. In fact, my dad thinks he is the nicest guy I’ve ever dated.

My problem is that my parents set the rule that I can never visit his apartment – ever. Instead of going out all the time, once in a while we would like to stay in and listen to music or watch television.

My dad said we could listen to music or watch television at our house.

I realize that, but it’s just not the same. If we planned to have sex (we aren’t planning to), we could accomplish this without going to his apartment.

I’d like to hear your thoughts on this. – Hannah, Austin, Texas Dear Hannah: Of course they trust you or they wouldn’t allow you to go out with him at all.

They just don’t want you to be tempted by being alone with your boyfriend in his apartment.

McDonagh, Gleeson discuss ‘Calvary’

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now When John Michael McDonagh walked onto the set of “Calvary,” the story of a good priest in contemporary Ireland whose life is threatened by an angry parishioner who long ago was a victim of pedophilia, it was only his second time directing a film.

When veteran actor Brendan Gleeson showed up to play the priest, wearing a formal cassock, it would mark his second collaboration with McDonagh.

Gleeson starred in McDonagh’s first film “The Guard.” McDonagh also wrote both films. He and Gleeson knew, even before that 2011 crime comedy was completed, that they would someday be working together again.

McDonagh and Gleeson visited Boston recently to chat about their cinematic relationship.

Ed Symkus: John, did you have Brendan in mind while you were writing “Calvary?”

John Michael McDonagh: Yes. The post-production on “The Guard” went on for quite a while. It went on so long that I wrote the script for “Calvary” in the meantime. I had Brendan in mind from the start. I sent him the first draft, and he wanted to do it, but he said there were elements there that he thought should be expanded upon to make the film more emotional.

Brendan Gleeson: The idea had germinated at the end of “The Guard” when we talked about the notion of a good man in the midst of all this [trouble], and it took root. It was an “If I write it will you do it?” type of thing. It was very exciting for me. When the first draft came in, it was exquisite.

Symkus: Was it a different experience working together the second time?

Gleeson: We have different sensibilities in some

Brendan Gleeson plays a priest in “The Calvary,” John Michael McDonagh’s second directorial attempt. areas, and we have different opinions in a lot of areas. But there was a commonality about our instincts that was interesting.

I love to work in a collaborative way. I was given a chance, with “The General” [1998] when [director] John Boorman invited me into the editing process. He was an incredible mentor for me.

Monitors had just come in, and he’d bring me around and say, “Look, the reason I’m asking you to come in from that side is for this reason.”

He was very inclusive, and I learned an awful lot.

When John and I started working together on “The Guard,” he was incredibly inclusive, as well.

Symkus: For both of you, are there any films you saw as a kid that made you think you might want to get into this business?

McDonagh: I’d watch a lot of movies as a kid. I think I was 15 when I saw “The King of Comedy.” It bombed when it was released in [Irish] cinemas, and it came on Channel

4 only about a month later.

I’d seen it and that’s when I thought, that’s what a good actor does, and that’s what a good director does. And I said what else have those two guys (Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese) done? So, that leads you through the great films of the ’70s, and that was my way in.

Gleeson: That was a world that was open to other people.

I remember being asked, when I was 4, what I wanted to be, and I said an actor, but I don’t think I knew what it meant.

Everybody remembers seeing “Bambi,” and being distraught at it. One of the big ones for me was “High Noon.”

And I remember when I was 17, I saw “Deliverance,” and that completely destroyed me.

Symkus: Getting back to “Calvary,” the film focuses on both good and bad points concerning the Church. It’s already opened in Ireland and England. Have you heard from people who think it’s pro-church and people who think it’s anti-church?

McDonagh: There’s been

- United Features Syndicate

a sort of silence from the Church, which I read to mean that they’re surprised that it’s not as anti-religion as maybe they were expecting.

But they’re likely conflicted about it because it’s bringing up that subject matter again (pedophilia) that they’d probably prefer to be swept under the carpet.

Gleeson: Some people would say we’re too easy on the Church. I think there was a general sense of relief, but also a sense that the movie is fair.

Symkus: John, you’ve spoken about completing a trilogy of films with Brendan. Have you got a status report on the third one?

McDonagh: I’ve got a lot of it in my mind, so I know the characters and the gist of the plot. I want there to be a crime story element, and I want it to be a little bit more intricate.

It’s called “The Lame Shall Enter First,” and I’ll probably write that next year. (whispers) I stole that title from a Flannery O’Connor short story.

BEST BETS ± 7 p.m. WGN 9 Masters of Illusion: It’s been a while since David Copperfield had regularly scheduled specials showcasing his stunts and tricks, but this new series gives magic a television showcase again.

± 8 p.m. on TNT Cold Justice: In the new episode “Other Side of the Tracks,” Kelly Siegler and Yolanda McClary travel to Cambridge, Ohio, to assist with an investigation into the murder of a pregnant teenager, after the victim’s remains are discovered by a local lake.

BEST BETS ± 4 p.m. NBC 5 Horse Racing: Horse racing fans pining for Triple Crown-caliber competition would do well to tune into today’s Whitney Invitational Handicap from Saratoga Racecourse in Saratoga Springs, N.Y. The Grade 1 stakes race is run at 1 1/8 miles and usually features a field of top thoroughbreds vying for a piece of the $750,000 purse. The winner automatically qualifies for the Breeders’ Cup Classic in November. Past winners include Alydar, Easy Goer and Kelso.

± 7 p.m. on HALL Cedar Cove: The stoic women of Cedar Cove struggle to move on and look to the future in the new episode “Relations and Relationships: Part One,” which finds an undecided Olivia feeling pressured when Jack wants to exchange house keys. Tom Stevens and Sarah Smyth also star. ± 8 p.m. on AMC Hell on Wheels: As the Western series returns for a 13-episode fourth season, longtime fans are likely focused mainly on one big question: Did Elam (Common) survive his battle with an enormous bear in the Season 3 finale? Signs point to the affirmative.
