VIEWS Kate Schott There’s something magical about Friday nights in the fall, wrapped up in layers to stay warm as you cheer on your school’s football team.

The first time I drove into Joliet on Jefferson Street, I noticed Joliet Memorial Stadium and thought to myself, I bet it will be fun to go to a football game there.

I hope to make it to at least one game in that stadium – as well as other local high school facilities – this fall as prep football kicks off Friday.

Here at The Herald-News, we’re gearing up to provide readers with the coverage they want when it comes to prep football.

Starting today (turn to page 35) and running through most of the week, you’ll find previews of our

local high school football teams. Sports Editor Dick Goss and his staff have been out at practices, talking to coaches and players, gathering statistics and other facts to inform readers about how their favorite teams are shaping up this season.

We’re excited about the coverage plans we have for the games. We’ll be at as many local games as we can, writing stories and taking pictures, to record our teams as they take to the field. And we have a number of platforms in which to share that news with you.

To get started, please follow @HeraldNewsSport on Twitter, where we intend to tweet out updates at the end of each quarter, as well as scores of games and other sports-related news from our area. We’ll start posting results online at theherald-news.com Friday night, with short game recaps and photos from that night’s action.

Goss has promised me

he’ll be up for gathering his staff each Friday after the games to do a short video, where they’ll give a rundown of that night’s results and provide thoughts on what it means for our teams.

By the time you wake up Saturday morning, we’re hoping the entire front page of the website will be sports-related – and the place you feel you must visit each Saturday to be in the know when it comes to local sports.

In Sunday’s print edition, you’ll find more detailed stories about many of Friday’s games, as well as results from the action taking place Saturdays. We haven’t forgotten college sports: We’ll have a roundup of local and national games each week.

And, of course, we’ll have stories on the Bears.

I’m happy to announce we’ve added some staff who will help make this all possible: Chris LaFortune joined us earlier this month as our web editor. He is the

Challenge accepted

one running most of our social media accounts, like Facebook (www.facebook. com/jolietheraldnews) and Twitter (@Joliet_HN and @HeraldNewsSport). He’ll be shooting video, sending out tweets and tweaking our website to ensure readers are getting the news they need.

Kaitlyn Jasnica has come on board as a part-time sports reporter. She’ll be writing stories, compiling roundups and helping with social media efforts. I hope you join me in welcoming them to our team, and check out our online and print efforts.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Higher education on its way to becoming the norm in nursing

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Renee Popek is going back to college – no easy thing for a working nurse with three children.

But Popek, 38, who works in the surgery unit at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, knows she’ll be better off for it.

“I want to go on and pursue my master’s degree, too, and eventually teach,” said Popek, who starts at Lewis University in the fall through its registered nursing to bachelor of science nursing program – specifically designed for working nurses who want to earn a degree in nursing.

RN to BSN programs are designed to give registered nurses opportunities to attain BSN degrees – a route that often leads to higher leadership roles, higher pay and a broader understanding of a nurse’s role in the health care industry.

Popek isn’t required by her workplace to get a BSN, but moving forward, new hires at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center will, a result of the latest contract negotiations that wrapped up earlier this year.

Presence Saint Joseph is teaming up with Lewis University and the University of St. Francis to offer RN to BSN programs this fall for employees wanting to obtain their BSN degrees. Flexible scheduling, online classes and on-site classes are key components.

There were discussions this spring during the contract negotiations about requiring new hires – and current employees – to obtain their BSN degrees, said Lisa Lagger, spokeswoman for the hospital. But in the end, the negotiated three-year contract, which affects 800 nurses and new hires, only requires new hires to obtain a BSN within three years of their hire date.

“The INA has taken the stance that generally, a BSN for current employees is not necessary, but we understand that’s the way it’s going. Education is good, but experience is more important,” Fitzgerald said.

“During contract negotiations, we weren’t willing to … force a whole bunch of nurses to get additional education [by 2020] just to keep their job.”

National trend But what’s happening at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center is not unique. There’s been a movement among health care employers nationally to require that nurses either return to school for their bachelor’s degrees or have a BSN before applying.

About half of the nation’s 3 million registered nurses in

2008 had a bachelor’s or master’s degree in nursing, according to the Health Resources and Services Administration. But a 2010 report from the Institute of Medicine recommended hospitals nationwide raise that percentage to 80 percent by 2020.

Just less than half of Presence Saint Joseph’s 800 nurses have a BSN degree while others are diploma nurses or have associate or master’s degrees.

Jackie Medland, chief nurse

executive for the hospital, said she hopes the road to obtaining a BSN becomes a “natural wave of enthusiasm” where a higher degree of educational preparation “becomes the norm.”

“We want to create an environment by which our nurses want to go and get more educated,” Medland said.

In the past four years alone, there’s been an estimated 86 percent increase in the annual number of RN-BSN graduates,

according to a 2014 workforce analysis by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Hospitals have increasingly gone as far as closing their doors to any nurse who doesn’t already have a BSN degree, Medland said. While Presence Saint Joseph’s hiring policies have become “more finetuned,” they have not closed the door entirely on nurses without such a degree, she said.

“We’re not there yet. We’ve chosen not to take that approach yet, but for anyone who reads the tea leaves, again, you got to have your baccalaureate degree to come into an acute care setting, a very demanding, complex care setting, whether it’s [Presence Saint Joseph] or any other setting,” Medland said. “It’s going to be the new standard within the next couple of years for most, if not all, organizations in the Chicago metro area.”

Dr. Carol Wilson, dean of the School of Nursing at University of St. Francis, said enrollment in these RN to BSN programs has risen over the years, in part because of the release of several studies linking better-educated nurses with better patient care and lower mortality rates.

The university’s RN to BSN program started in the late 1990s, she said, and since then enrollment has steadily risen.

There were 68 students in 2004 and 116 in 2014. In 2012, 140 students enrolled in the program, in part because of the findings in the Institute of Medicine’s 2010 report, Wilson said.

In offering the RN to BSN program, Lewis University holds 12 classes throughout the Chicago area, including in Joliet at Presence Saint Joseph. That allows students with the flexibility to attend classes near work and home, said Linda Elsik, director of the program.

New twist in Joliet for Eight campaign Petition drive leader files complaint against Judge Dinah Lennon Archambeault

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Another issue has arisen out of the Joliet For Eight Districts referendum drive ahead of Wednesday’s expected ruling by the City Electoral Board on whether the measure should be allowed on the November ballot.

Richard Rodriguez, one of the referendum’s organizers, said he has filed a complaint with the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board, contending that an objection to the measure was orchestrated by a judicial candidate trying to suppress minority turnout.

Rodriguez claims Will County Associate Judge Dinah Lennon Archambeault violated judicial ethics laws when her former campaign manager, Sarah Andreano, filed an objection to the referendum Aug. 11.

“Judge Archambeault did this to ensure a political advantage in her November election for circuit judge,” Rodriguez said in a copy of the complaint, which he said was filed Aug. 15.

Archambeault said last week she was not aware a complaint had been filed.

“I have no knowledge of any complaint filed with the Judicial Inquiry Board against me relating to the challenge to the referendum petitions,” Archambeault said in an emailed statement. “If in fact a complaint was made, I am confident it is without merit.”

Vincent Phillip, an administrative assistant with the Judicial Inquiry Board, said all complaints initially remain

How it works When a complaint is filed with the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board, it follows a set process: n All complaints initially remain confidential. The board will investigate the matter, a process that often takes months, and then either contact the judge for an interview or close the case for lack of merit n If the board determines the initial complaint has merit, it will file a formal complaint with the Illinois Courts Commission. Based on its findings, the commission can then reprimand, censure, suspend or remove a judge.

confidential and could not confirm or deny one had been filed against Archambeault.

However, Rodriguez provided a copy of a letter, dated Aug. 18, he said he received from Kathy Twine, the board’s executive director, confirming receipt of his complaint.

Andreano says she acted alone The Eight District ballot initiative was circulated by minority voters trying to gain better representation on the Joliet City Council, said Rodriguez, a member of Concerned Citizens of Joliet, the grassroots citizens organization backing the referendum. This effort asks voters to approve switching the city council from five districts and three at-large seats to eight

districts.

Concerned Citizens formed in 2013 to oppose plans for a privately operated immigration detention center in Joliet.

While the group has never identified itself as an Hispanic organization, many of its members are Hispanic.

“Presumably, if the referendum is knocked off the ballot, fewer minority voters will turn out on Election Day,” Rodrigeuz said. “Minority voters traditionally support Democratic candidates. The result would favor ... Archambeault.”

A Republican, Archambeault is running against Democrat Dan Kennedy for Will County circuit judge in the Nov. 4 general election.

Rodriguez maintains that Archambeault violated Illinois Supreme Court Rule 67/ Canon 7, which requires judges and judicial candidates to refrain from inappropriate political activity, such as publicly endorsing or opposing a candidate for public office.

Archambeault, however, has said she is neutral on the referendum issue.

“I take no position with respect to the referendum or the challenge to the referendum petitions,” Archambeault said in an Aug. 13 statement.

Rodriguez’s complaint centers on the fact that Andreano was listed as Archambeault’s campaign chairwoman when she filed her objection to the petition Aug. 11.

“It is hard to believe a campaign manager would not consult with their candidate when taking this sort of political action,” Rodriguez said.

Two potential customers use their cellphones to make calls upon discovering McBrody’s on West Jefferson Street in Joliet was closed Friday.

McBrody’s closes its doors Restaurant was popular with downtown business crowd

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – McBrody’s, a downtown Joliet dining fixture for the past 11 years, has closed its doors.

“It’s something we’ve been thinking about back and forth for some time now,” said Peg O’Connell, who ran the popular tavern with her husband, Jim. “We finally looked at our family and knew we had to go in a new direction.”

McBrody’s, 73 W. Jefferson St., officially closed on Wednesday. The tavern – located downtown near the courthouse, banks and City Hall – did a brisk lunch business, but pulling in customers in the evening could be a challenge, O’Connell said.

“It was a very hard decision,” O’Connell said. “We believed in the downtown and I don’t regret a thing. I know we fought our butts off to make it work. We gave it a good run and have no regrets.”

The O’Connells and Derek and Hallie Brenczews-

ki opened the restaurant in spring 2003 in the building formerly occupied by Central Bar & Grill.

The two men were high school friends who both worked as general managers of Joliet restaurants.

Brenczewski managed the former Tuckaway Tavern off Plainfield Road in unincorporated Will County, and O’Connell managed Aurelio’s Pizza, now Cemeno’s, off Essington Road.

The families came up with the name McBrody’s by combining the names of their sons: Malachy O’Connell and Brody Brenczewski.

The restaurant featured specialty sandwiches, burgers, soups and salads.

The O’Connells took over as sole owners, with a silent partner, in 2007, O’Connell said.

O’Connell was grateful for all the support shown by the downtown business crowd, as well as by patrons from other communities and her staff.

Seven-Day Forecast for Will County

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Commissioner Peter Hurtado has filed an official complaint with the Office of Attorney General Lisa Madigan alleging the Plainfield Township Park District board committed several open meetings act violations.

The complaint accused the park district of taking a vote by secret ballot at a July 22 closed meeting, said Sarah Pratt, public access counselor with the attorney general’s office. The complaint was filed Monday.

That July meeting resulted in the selection of a new executive director, Carlo Capalbo, who, pending contract negotiations, is set to start working at the district Sept. 8 Hurtado confirmed he sent the complaint, which also states the board attempted to mislead the public and make a decision in closed session.

“I felt it was my obligation to file that review because I knew there were some serious

violations committed in that meeting,” Hurtado said.

Hurtado and Commissioner Peter Steinys previously have said they left the meeting because the board’s general counsel was interfering with commissioners’ preferences for the next executive director.

Hurtado, Steinys and another commissioner originally favored one candidate. But after Hurtado and Steinys left, the other commissioner changed preferences and Capalbo was supported by the two other remaining commissioners.

Also, Steinys tabled approval of the closed meeting’s minutes during the last regular meeting Aug. 13, saying he believed the minutes did not accurately represent the actions of the meeting.

President Mary Kay Ludemann said the accusations against the board are false.

“There was no secret vote,” she said, adding that there was only a list of preferred candidates completed by each commissioner.

“The three of us who re-

mained discussed the four finalists,” Ludemann said. “We chose one we felt was best for our district. Then we informed the two commissioners that left.”

This isn’t the first time a commissioner has lodged an Open Meetings Act violation complaint.

Ludemann lodged a complaint in July 2013 alleging the board violated the Open Meetings Act by not providing a bigger room for people attending an open meeting June 12, 2013.

The attorney general’s office determined there was insufficient evidence to determine if the board violated the act.

Pratt said the attorney general’s office will send official notification of Hurtado’s complaint by Monday.

“We will then have a full inquiry with a letter to the park district, asking them for a full recording of the meeting,” Pratt said.

After review, the attorney general’s office will follow up with the individuals involved and issue a judgment.

Officials praise ‘Will-Ride’ program Almost 1,000 people use service in Will County

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com MONEE – Will County and Regional Transportation Authority officials on Friday lauded the success of a transportation program for senior citizens and people with disabilities.

The “Will-Ride” program serves an average of 1,000 riders a month in eastern Will County and county officials are hoping the program will expand to other areas besides the seven townships it currently serves.

The program was launched in 2013 after years of research into the potential need for the service in Will County.

“We’re celebrating that we have seven townships working

Felix Sarver – fsarver@shawmedia.com

RTA Board Chairman Kirk Dillard (center) and Monee Township Supervisor Donna Dettbarn (center right), cut a ribbon with other county and RTA officials in celebration of the “Will-Ride” transportation program. together and partnering and we have many more that are on the way hopefully and are going to join us soon,” said Nick Palmer, chief of staff for the Will

County Executive office.

A past transportation option for residents in the eastern end of the county was Southland Senior Services in Monee,

which closed in 2010 because of financial difficulties. County and township officials met with PACE and RTA to find a way to keep the buses running.

A bus service was still needed for many senior citizens to get to doctor appointments, Monee Township supervisor Donna Dettbarn said.

“The goal all along was to have an integrated bus service for eastern Will County that provided for and under the auspices of the county. We didn’t see it would work any other way,” she said.

County officials received two RTA grants to create the service. The “Will-Ride” program services Frankfort, Green Garden, Peotone, Monee, Will, Crete and Washington townships. It also services any location within a 10-mile radius of the border of those townships.

Eligible residents who can use the program include senior citizens 60 years old or older,

residents with disabilities and those needing transportation for work. People can get rides within their township for $2 one way or $4 for a round trip.

Rides outside the township are $4 one way or $8 round trip.

RTA Board Chairman Kirk Dillard said at Friday’s celebration the “Will-Ride” program serves as a “lifeline” for senior citizens and people with disabilities who need to see their friends, family and children.

Dillard said the service also “gets them to appointments with physicians and health care professionals.”

Frankfort Township Supervisor Jim Moustis, who also is a county board member, said the service helps people become more independent.

“It’s not even the ride. It gives them the independence,” he said. “They don’t have to ask people. Just the fact they can do it on their own, it makes them feel better.”

Developer Holladay Properties submitted concept plans for a proposed Value Place hotel on the triangular property nestled between Interstate 55 and Windham Parkway.

The building will stand 50 feet tall and provide 119 parking spots.

According to a staff report, the plan includes exceptions to several code requirements, including floor level limits, parking lot setback, parking stall width, driveaisle width and sanitary and water main easement restrictions.

The staff report said the triangular shape of the property makes it difficult for the hotel to avoid the exceptions.

Noak said Value Place

would appeal to corporations that have Romeoville locations and need to bring in employees to work on shortterm projects.

It also would help house people across the country who come for events at the new Athletic and Events Center in the designated downtown district.

“We’re working with different levels of hotels,” Noak said. “We’re excited because we’re engaging in conversations with several of these groups.”

ROMEOVILLE – A new four-story extended stay hotel may be coming to the Windham Lakes Business Park.

“We’re getting a lot more interest from hotel groups,” Romeoville Mayor John Noak said. “This really is a combination of the downtown area and industrial development.”

Developer Holladay Properties submitted concept plans for a Value Place hotel to be built on the triangular property nestled between Interstate 55 and Windham Parkway.

The Village Board reviewed plans for the hotel Wednesday.

Kansas-based Value Place is a hotel chain that offers extended stay for guests. The chain has hotels in 31 states, but the only other hotel in Illinois is in Champaign.

The proposed hotel would consist of 43,036 square feet that would house 116 rooms.

Joliet sets fees and limits on collection boxes JOLIET – The city will begin charging an annual fee on donation collection boxes and limit their numbers around town.

Joliet officials are concerned about the number of collection boxes popping up around town and where they are being placed.

The new rules, adopted by the City Council last week, will set an initial annual license fee of $250, followed by a renewal fee of $50. No more than two boxes may be placed in one parking lot, and operators must have the consent of the business owner before placing one.

vendor.

In other business last week, the council approved: • A restaurant liquor license and a full outdoor/beer garden license for Juliet’s, a new restaurant scheduled to open in October at 205 N. Chicago St. in the building formerly operated by The Department.

The restaurant will employ 40 full-time workers and 10 to 15 part-timers, according to its application.

• An ordinance that authorizes borrowing of up to $40.15 million for three sewer projects, including a combined sewer and storm water overflow tunnel under the Des Plaines River, a new pump station and screen at the East Side Waste

Water Treatment Plant, and a sanitary sewer overflow tunnel along Route 6. The three low-interest, 20-year loans would be made through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Pollution Control Loan Program.

• An ordinance changing hiring rules for the police and fire boards. Under the new rules, Joliet residents will receive a half of a preference point for every six months they’ve lived in the city, up to five points, in their applications. The rule is designed to promote and retain hometown candidates for city jobs. In the past, candidates could only earn preference points through military service. The new sys-

tem allows candidates to use residency or military service in their job applications, but not both. Military preference points also can be used when applying for promotion.

• A resolution for a $2.2 million tax increment financing development agreement for the renovation of property at 168170 Ottawa St. by John Bays Building Centre LLC. Bays purchased the property in the city’s downtown TIF district in 2013, renovating its upper floors for office space used by Guardian Angel Community Services. The building’s first floor is occupied by PNC Bank.

Under the resolution, the city will rebate the renovation cost over the next 23 years.

I-80 accidents slow traffic Friday

One eastbound lane was closed after two semitrailers heading east, including the one carrying pigs, collided at 12:13 p.m. near the Midland Avenue overpass in Joliet, according to state police.

Several emergency units were

on scene and tow trucks cleared the accident.

Another minor accident on I-80 near the Shepley Road overpass near Minooka was reported at about the same time.

POLICE BRIEFS Joliet police arrest wounded man JOLIET – A man with a bullet wound was arrested.

Police said they were called to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, where a man was being treated for a bullet wound in the hand Friday afternoon.

Eventually, Armando Ornelas Garcia, 19, of Joliet was arrested for unlawful use of a weapon and on a no-bond warrant for burglary, police said.

According to police, Garcia said he had found a handgun in an alley in the area of Jackson and Henderson avenues. The gun went off while Garcia was han-

Police responded to a report of shots fired in the area when they got a 911 call that the house in the 900 block of Woodruff Road was hit by bullets. While there, police found that a 1999 Chevy Tahoe at the residence also had been hit by gunfire.

At the scene, police found .40-caliber and 9 mm shell casings. No arrests were made as of early Saturday evening.

Family Fiesta organizers look for better weather Sunday

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – “We got rice. We got icy water. We got sweet bananas,” called out the lady at the Rancho Mateo food wagon.

She had everything but customers during three hours of rain that put a damper on Family Fiesta on Saturday afternoon. Not forever. Tomorrow would be another day, and the forecast was no rain.

Family Fiesta resumes at noon and runs until 10 p.m.on Sunday at Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park, located at the corner of Jefferson and Bluff streets in Joliet.

Gov. Pat Quinn is expected at 2 p.m. Evelyn Sanquinetti, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, is scheduled to show at 4:30 p.m.

Lots of regular people would be helpful, too, said Christian Giannotti. He is a board member at the Spanish Community Center. The Joliet nonprofit counts on Family Fiesta as a big fundraiser.

“This event is the event

Fiesta time was “very, very disappointing,” Giannotti said. He looked forward to a big turnout on Sunday. “We hope there are enough people who know how long the Spanish Community Center has been in Joliet and the difference that it has made in people lives, so they will come out and give us some support.”

Besides the appearance of a couple of statewide political heavyweights, Family Fiesta will have live music starting at 3:30 p.m. until it closes at 10 p.m.

Food comes from a variety of local restaurants and traveling vendors offering a mix of Mexican, Colombian and Venezuelan cuisine. Hot dogs, too, were said to be available.

“The rain has definitely kept everybody away,” said Eddie Reyes, the cook at the El Puerto Escondido food wagon. The restaurant is located in downtown Joliet.

Saturday. He, too, was deterred by the rain, Orlando said.

Why should Family Fiesta be such an attraction in the governor’s race?

“Will County has been one of the fastest growing counties of the last 10 years,” Orlando said. “The fact that the Hispanic community in Joliet is as big as it is – that is something that Bruce and Evelyn want to be part of.”

PEOTONE – Heavy thunderstorms on Thursday temporarily disrupted the Will County Fair.

The storm caused the tents for some vendors at the fair to blow over and paused activities at the fair for nearly a half hour, a Will County Fair Association representative said. The fair and its rides resumed afterward.

Peotone, home to the Will County Fairgrounds, was one of the few areas in the county affected by the weather system that was more severe to the north and south, said Harold Damron, director of the Will County Emergency Management Agency. Damron said there were reports of a couple of trees blown down in the Peotone area in addition to the disruption at the fair.

The fair continues through Sunday. For information on events, visit willcountyfair.org.

Water agency ordered to pay attorneys’ fees Judge: American Lake Water Company to get refund

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com A judge has ordered the Northern Will County Water Agency to pay more than $100,000 to the company that owns a water pipeline the agency is trying to take over.

The money will refund American Lake Water Company $105,510 for “reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses” it spent before the water agency voluntarily dismissed an eminent domain suit to seize control of the pipeline earlier this year.

The initial lawsuit was dropped at the recommendation of the water agency’s legal team because of concerns that the suit listed the water agency as the sole plaintiff. It was refiled in June with each of the agency’s five member communities – Bolingbrook, Homer Glen, Woodridge, Lemont and Romeoville – listed as plaintiffs.

Jim Boan, the water agency’s attorney, said the member towns were aware that pulling and then re-filing the suit would cost the agency.

“The agency board knew as a consequence of dismissing

the suit that there would be attorneys’ fees,” Boan said.

The eminent domain lawsuit in Will County Circuit Court attempts to take control of the 30-mile Bedford Park transmission line that brings water from Bedford Park to the southwest suburbs, including the five towns in the agency, via eminent domain.

Eminent domain gives power to government bodies to seize private property without the owner’s consent.

American Lake Water Company continues to contend the agency has cost taxpayers “over $1 million” in growing legal costs and the company has challenged the water agency to present a business plan for water services that would result in lower rates.

“The court’s decision to reimburse our company’s legal fees following the dismissal of the initial suit by the Northern Will County Water Agency further proves our point,” Michael Smyth, spokesman for American Lake Water Company, wrote in an email. “... We reiterate our request that the agency come forward with their plans to lower water rates

prior to spending any additional taxpayer dollars.”

The mayors of the five agency towns say their ownership of the pipeline would result in lower water bills, though the agency has yet to propose how it can do that. The effort is in response to continued water rate hikes from Illinois American Water – a sister company of American Lake Water – that have brought the cost of water to “unprecedented levels,” according to the agency.

Obtaining ownership of the pipeline from the privately owned water company would “eliminate the profit motive inherent in private ownership,” the lawsuit states.

Agency expenditures are divided among the five agency communities, based on their number of IAW customers.

The village of Bolingbrook is responsible for the bulk of the costs (78.7 percent), followed by Homer Glen (20.5 percent). The villages of Woodridge, Lemont and Romeoville together are responsible for the other less than 1 percent of costs.

A court date has not yet been set for the eminent domain lawsuit.

Classes have made a ‘world of difference’ • NURSES Continued from page 3 Classes will be at the hospital beginning this October or in the spring, making life a little easier for the 10 or so nurses at Presence Saint Joseph who signed up to take the program, she said.

Becoming a better nurse Better-educated nurses have been linked with better patient care and lower mortality rates, Medland said, noting traditional nursing education only focuses on practical, task-oriented skills while BSN programs teach more about public health

and theory.

“When you look at our nurses who are practicing at the bedside, who are with patients and families 24 hours a day, seven days a week, they are the least educated,” Medland said.

Stacy Baker, 31, a nurse at Presence Saint Joseph, graduated in 2010 from Lewis University’s RN to BSN program.

In the university’s partnership with the hospital, many classes were held on-site and the hospital provided tuition reimbursements, Baker said, making the transition into a BSN much easier than if she had pursued it on her own.

“It would have been crazy not to take advantage of it,” she

said.

Elise Roberts, who started as a nurse at the hospital in 2010, is working toward her BSN at the University of St. Francis.

Classes so far have made a “world of difference” in her ability to treat patients, she said. She was surprised to have learned so much about patient care through a theology class.

“I was like, ‘Theology? Do I really need theology to be a better nurse?’ But you do,” Roberts said. “It’s not just about giving medications on time. It’s not calling in critical labs. It’s really trying to treat the patient spiritually, too. Unfortunately, you don’t get that in your associate degree.”

Sarah Andreano states she acted alone Continued from page 4

The complaint also alleges that Archambeault conspired with someone at City Hall to obtain copies of the petition’s signature papers.

Rodriguez has accused Mayor Tom Giarrante of releasing copies of signature papers for the referendum to Andreano, based on email records he collected through the Freedom of Information Act. The FOIA records show that Giarrante sent a copy of the petitions to his personal email Aug. 5 but do not show that he sent them to anyone else.

Giarrante denied distributing the petitions to Andreano, noting that he sent petitions – which included more than 300 pages – to his personal account so he could review them at home.

FOIA records also show a copy of the petitions were distributed from a city account to a personal account

by Councilman-at-large Jim McFarland on Aug. 4.

McFarland also denied

In a statement emailed Thursday from an account identified with her name, Andreano said she acted alone.

Attempts to reach her on the phone have not been successful; the email statement did address questions left in a message by a Herald-News reporter.

“I filed the objection to the petitions on my own,” Andreano wrote in the email. “No one asked me or directed me to do so.”

Andreano has been listed as Archambeault’s chairwoman since Sept. 24, 2012.

She was replaced by Archambeault’s husband, John, on Aug. 13, according to papers filed with the Illinois State Board of Elections.

Rodriguez said the change in chairpersons was “an apparent move to conceal Judge Archambeault’s involvement in the ballot challenge.”

distributing copies of the petitions. He said all emails to his city account are automatically distributed to his cellphone. A reference under the email’s subject line stated the message was “Auto forwarded by a rule,” which McFarland said was the indication of the automatic transfer.

Rodrigeuz said Concerned Citizens For Joliet questioned McFarland about the email, but that members were satisfied with his explanation. Rodriguez noted that McFarland has been supportive of the group in the past. McFarland has said that Joliet voters should be given an opportunity to decide on the redistricting issue.

Rodriguez said it was not possible Andreano could have obtained a full physical copy of the petitions from Concerned Citizens. He noted no full copy exists since only three of the five people circulating petitions – himself, Joe Belman and Maria Aracelia Rosas – made copies of their signature sheets.

What’s next Although he could not confirm or deny that a complaint had been filed, Phillip, with the state’s Judicial Inquiry Board, did explain the general process of what happens when a complaint is received.

The board will investigate the matter, a process that often takes months, and then either contact the judge for an interview or close the case for lack of merit.

If the board determines the initial complaint has merit, it will file a formal complaint with the Illinois Courts Commission. Based on its findings, the commission can then reprimand, censure, suspend or remove a judge, according to the board’s website.

Locally, the city electoral board, which includes Giarrante, City Clerk Christa Desiderio and Councilman-at-large Mike Turk, are scheduled to vote Wednesday at an evidentiary hearing on whether to allow the referendum on the ballot.

• McBRODY’S Continued from page 4 “We loved the place,” O’Connell said. “We put our hearts and souls into that place. We went as far as we could.”

McBrody’s is the third downtown restaurant to close this year. The Department, 205 N. Chicago St., closed in March, and The Red Goose Bakery & Cafe, 56 N. Chicago St., closed at the end of July.

A new restaurant, Juliet’s, plans to open in the building that housed The Department in October.

Another restaurant, The Blue Taco, 79 N. Chicago St., opened earlier this year.

Federal subpoena sought email of ex-Quinn advisers

CHICAGO – A federal grand jury has subpoenaed the emails of three former top advisers to Gov. Pat Quinn, including a onetime chief of staff, as part of a criminal investigation into the governor’s $54.5 million Chicago anti-violence program.

The Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, which Quinn shut down when shortcomings arose, was the subject of a scathing state audit this year that found grant money was unaccounted for, mismanagement was “pervasive” and some of Chicago’s most violent areas were not included. Critics have said it amounted to a political slush fund, and the program is now being scrutinized by federal prosecutors in Springfield, a state legislative commission and the Cook County state’s attorney’s office.

The July 28 federal subpoena sought all communications from the state email accounts of former chief of staff Jack Lavin, former Chief Operating Officer Andrew Ross and Billy Ocasio, a former adviser to Quinn on issues of social justice.

A second federal subpoena, also dated July 28, sought any correspondence and documents from the Illinois Department of Human Services that relate to any other anti-violence programs linked to the agencies that ran the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative.

WORLD BRIEF located deep beneath the VatAirlines on alert as eruption begins in Iceland najokull glacier, in the last week.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland – Iceland’s Bardarbunga volcano burst forth with a small eruption Saturday under the ice of Europe’s largest glacier, scientists said, prompting the country to close airspace.

Thousands of small earthquakes have rattled the volcano,

Icelandic Meteorological Office vulcanologist Melissa Pfeffer said Saturday that seismic data indicated that an eruption had begun, with magma from the volcano melting ice within the glacier’s Dyngjujokull icecap.

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – For three years, President Barack Obama has resisted the pull of potential U.S. military action in Syria.

He has held firm even as the civil war’s death toll climbed toward 200,000, the Syrian government used chemical weapons against civilians and Islamic State militants strengthened amid the chaos.

Now Obama must decide whether the extremist group’s murder of American journalist James Foley, as well as the broader threat the group could pose to U.S. interests, should change his cautious calculus.

Pressure is coming from his own military leaders to go after the Islamic State inside Syria. But he must weigh that against his aversion to the risks that could come with plunging the United States into a country torn apart by an intractable internal conflict.

W h i t e Barack Obama House officials have suggested that airstrikes in Syria are an option, though the officials say specific military proposals have not yet been presented to the president.

“We’re actively considering what’s going to be necessary to deal with that threat,

and we’re not going to be restricted by borders,” said Ben Rhodes, Obama’s deputy national security adviser.

“We’ve shown time and again that if there’s a counterterrorism threat, we’ll take direct action against that threat, if necessary.”

Even before Foley’s murder, Obama found himself on far different footing in the Middle East than he probably expected in the sixth year of his presidency.

After running for the White House on a pledge to end the Iraq war and then making good on that promise in late 2011, Obama thrust the U.S. military back into Iraq this month with a limited airstrike campaign against Islamic State targets.

“I asked for it…

By FRANK ELTMAN The Associated Press EAST HAMPTON, N.Y. – It’s summertime in the Hamptons and the biggest buzz is coming from the sky.

Complaints about noise coming from aircraft ferrying visitors and locals to and from one of America’s best-known playgrounds for the rich and famous have more than tripled over last year, due in part to a new service that lets people book 40-minute chopper rides from Manhattan for relatively cheap prices.

Between the helicopters, corporate jets, seaplanes and other aircraft, residents said life in the vacation paradise has become a nightmare.

“It is extremely disruptive,” says Teresa McCaskie, who lives in Mattituck, 15 miles north of East Hampton Town Airport, which has logged 14,000 takeoffs and landings through early August, up 2,000 from last year.

McCaskie said she can’t sit outside on her deck in the afternoons because of the clatter

or a requirement that they fly 20 miles farther east over Long Island Sound and then turn south over Peconic Bay – keeping them over water for a longer time.

While East Hampton operates the 600-acre airport, neighboring Southampton, Shelter Island and Southold towns are pressuring their neighbors for quiet.

“It has affected the quality of life for these people who are living under the flight path,” says Southampton town supervisor Anna Throne-Holst. “Some [planes] come in at such a low altitude that you can look up and see the wing numbers.”

East Hampton Supervisor Larry Cantwell knows he has to do something. Through early August, the town’s airport noise hotline had received 11,758 complaints, up from 3,335 from the same period in 2013.

Cantwell said the town is studying whether no longer accepting funding from the Federal Aviation Administration would allow them to restrict the number of flights. Currently the FAA has no restrictions.

“There are some that are just unbearable – the sound of the thumping.

The pounding sound when you’re standing on your back deck and your deck is vibrating and it’s pounding your windows.”

Teresa McCaskie Mattituck, New York, resident of helicopters that travel from Manhattan, across the Long Island Sound and directly over her house.

“There are some that are just unbearable – the sound of the thumping,” she says. “The pounding sound when you’re standing on your back deck and your deck is vibrating and it’s pounding your windows.”

Bob Malafronte, a retired New York City teacher who lives in Sag Harbor and is a member of a noise abatement committee, said he wants either an outright ban on helicopters

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS NEW YORK – The family of an unarmed black man who died after being placed in a chokehold by a white police officer met with a U.S. prosecutor Thursday to again demand a federal probe.

The wife and mother of Eric Garner emerged from the 25-minute closed-door meeting with U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch in Brooklyn. The Rev. Al Sharpton, who attended the meeting, said Lynch assured the family that her office was monitoring a pending state investigation.

Israeli airstrike collapses Gaza apartment tower

Ferguson struggling with daily life

By RYAN J. FOLEY The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – Life in this working-class St. Louis suburb of modest brick homes and low-rise apartments hasn’t been the same since Angelia Dickens’ son tearfully told her, “The police shot a boy.”

Since that news two weeks ago, she has been afraid to leave her apartment at night as protesters clash with police in sometimes violent confrontations.

She’s stopped going to her job at a call center after it took two hours to navigate police barricades and street closings to get home.

Walking down Canfield Drive, Dickens looks right and sees Missouri state troopers assembled outside a boarded-up barbecue joint.

She looks left and sees media satellite trucks. Ahead, volunteers pick up trash along the commercial district where

throngs gather nightly to protest the shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown by a white officer.

For the rest of the nation, this is the setting for seeing the angry tensions between young African-Americans and white police officers in predominantly black neighborhoods. Protesters and reporters have flocked here from around the nation.

But for residents, it’s also the place they live. They’re struggling over how to do that, no matter how strongly they feel about the issues being fought over.

“Hopefully I can get up Monday and start a fresh week at work,” said Dickens, 55, who’s turning to charities for help paying her rent and utilities this month. “I’m hoping all this can die down and I can go back on with my life.”

The protests have been peaceful for the last three nights, trading confrontations with police for one-on-

one talks with officers about Brown’s death and tactics used during previous demonstrations.

But there’s no question the lives of the people who live near where Brown was shot Aug. 9 have been upended by the protesters and the police, and they wonder how much of the disruption will be temporary. Their closest gas station was burned down during looting. Several stores were damaged. Many of the barber shops and restaurants along West Florissant Avenue commercial strip are boarded up to prevent looting.

Dellena Jones hasn’t seen customers at her hair salon shop, where the glass door was shattered by a concrete block.

“If we keep doing this, we are part of the terror,” said Jones, 35.

But elsewhere in Ferguson, a suburb of 21,000 where “I Love Ferguson” yard signs are common, signs of unrest

are rare.

The city is the “small, relatively quiet community” about 10 miles from downtown St. Louis where 69-yearold retired social worker Carolyn Jennings moved 30 years ago. Her neighborhood was mostly white then. Now, it’s almost all black, with only a few elderly whites left. Amid the closing of manufacturing plants and decline of property values, white residents moved to more distant suburbs.

These days, Jennings sits near City Hall holding a sign that reads, “Execution by Ferguson police is penalty for walking while black.” All day, drivers honk in support of protesters calling for the arrest of officer Darren Wilson.

Lt. Jeff Fuesting of the St. Louis County Police Department said officers will have to find a way forward with residents who were sympathetic with the protests and were subjected to tear gas in the demonstrations.

Russian aid trucks leave; highlight dire needs DONETSK, Russia – Hundreds of Russian aid trucks returned home from rebel-held eastern Ukraine on Saturday, highlighting a dire need for long-term assistance to the region where homes and livelihoods have been destroyed by months of fighting.

Ahead of a much-anticipated meeting Tuesday between the presidents of Russia and Ukraine, German Chancellor Angela Merkel held talks in Kiev with Ukrainian officials and expressed hope for a peaceful solution to the conflict that has claimed more than 2,000 lives.

Russia unilaterally sent hundreds of aid trucks into Ukraine through a rebel-held border point Friday, saying it had lost patience with Ukraine’s delaying tactics, a move that Ukraine promptly described as an invasion.

A little girl holds a rose Monday as she marches with protesters in Ferguson, Mo. The Aug. 9 shooting of Michael Brown by police touched off rancorous protests in the St. Louis suburb where police have used riot gear and tear gas to disperse crowds, turning daily life on its head.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israel bombed an apartment tower in downtown Gaza City on Saturday, collapsing the 12-story building in an unprecedented strike, while Hamas kept up heavy rocket fire that sent more Israelis fleeing border areas close to Gaza.

The violence signaled that a speedy resumption of truce talks is unlikely, despite another appeal by mediator Egypt. Gaps between Israel and Hamas on a border deal for blockaded Gaza remain vast, and repeated rounds of talks have ended in failure.

Family of NY man killed by chokehold talks to feds

By ELAINE GANLEY The Associated Press PARIS – Her code name was Rainer and she had a gun she called Oscar. Not yet 20, she aimed her weapon at a Nazi officer and shot him to death on a Paris bridge on a Sunday afternoon.

That deed July 23, 1944, was Madeleine Riffaud’s summons to Parisians to rise up.

“Everyone saw that a young girl on a bicycle can do this,” she recalled in an interview with The Associated Press.

Riffaud’s solitary act represented an opening salvo for a popular uprising in Paris, which was spurred by the Allied landings in Normandy following four years of Nazi occupation.

When American and French troops liberated the City of Light on Aug. 25, 1944, it came against a backdrop of jubilation and chaos.

On Monday, Paris will mark the 70th anniversary of its freedom from Hitler’s Third Reich with a day of tributes, including an outdoor ball, a

The commemoration underscores how much has changed in a Europe, and wider world, that is confronting new dangers with echoes of the past.

“I think there is a certain degree of forgetting precisely what the right wing across Europe in the 1930s actually meant,” said University of Nottingham historian Karen Adler, who draws a parallel between that dark time and the rise of far-right parties across much of Europe today.

Sell some BlackRock to pick up W.P. Carey TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Dear Mr. Berko: I have been reading your column for over 20 years and often wonder why you never mention BlackRock. I have 70 shares at a good profit and would consider selling 20 shares and buying 200 shares of W.P. Carey.

Please give me your opinion on this. – JD, Indianapolis Dear JD: Way back in 2003 – when John Thain forced computerized speed trading platforms on the New York Stock Exchange, helping it to self-destruct – BlackRock was trading around $53 a share.

I told a reader to sell his 200 shares and invest the proceeds in Fidelity Select Biotechnology Portfolio, which was trading around the same price.

Well, holy Michael, Moses and Mary, I hope he didn’t follow my advice, because today BlackRock (BLK) has nearly $5 trillion in assets, manages over 1,360 open- and closed-

end funds and is $308 a share.

Remember the 1955 movie “Bad Day at Black Rock,” a story about a small town with a troubled past, starring Spencer Tracy? I liked the movie and over the years have watched it several times on TV. But because the story left me with an uncomfortable aftertaste, I never bought a copy for my film library of over 100 favorites, dating back to the late 1940s. I like BlackRock, but something about it always made my teeth itch; so I let my emotions rule over my logic, and that confliction makes me feel as if I’m trying to baptize a cat.

BLK may be the world’s largest publicly traded investment management company, with 11,500 employees headed by a wise, conservative and scrupulous Larry Fink, who owns 1.2 million shares. BLK’s impressive track record of growing revenues, growing earnings and growing dividends is almost nonpareil in the land of real estate investment trusts. Since 2003, revenues have grown nine-

teenfold, earnings have grown nearly tenfold and dividends have increased twentyfold, to $8 this year. While all this increasing was going on, BLK’s share price climbed sixfold, to as high as $322, and net profit margins of 28 percent continue to improve the bottom line.

What more can an investor demand? Still, every time I think of the stock, images of Spencer Tracy and that troubled town move to the forefront of my mind.

I have enormous respect for Mr. Fink, whose open disdain of Carl Icahn’s corporate raider mentality and criticism of leveraged fund portfolios are a prelude to financial sainthood. Fink’s BlackRock runs exchange-traded funds, closed-end funds, worldwide public and private pensions, hedge funds, unit trusts, iShares, structured funds, and virtually everything else that Merrill Lynch, Goldman Sachs, UBS, Wells Fargo, etc., do – but with less fanfare and superior results.

Though BLK’s “bigness” is off-putting to me, it should

not be off-putting to you.

Most analysts think BLK will continue its winning ways, and Reuters, Deutsche Bank, Standard & Poor’s, UBS, etc., believe that BLK’s shares will continue higher. There’s a lot of safety in owning the biggest. (Vanguard, PNC Financial Services, Wellington Management, State Street and Fidelity own tens of millions of shares.) It’s sort of like the security and comfort of being in bed with an elephant.

But heaven help you if the elephant sneezes or rolls over.

Still, I think BLK is a classy asset.

I also like W.P. Carey (WPC-$67.86), a classy global real estate company that invests primarily in triple-netleased commercial properties and manages publicly owned, nontraded real estate investment trusts. Google, BellSouth, JPMorgan Chase, the government of Belgium, FedEx, Wal-Mart, Waldaschaff Automotive GmbH and Northrop Grumman are a few lessees that dot an international portfolio of WPC’s triple-net

leases. They are among WPC’s quality 230 tenants, leasing 700 properties (83 million square feet) in France, Finland, Poland, the U.K., the U.S. and other commercial markets.

And at June’s end, this diversified portfolio – office space 28 percent, industrial properties 26 percent, warehouses 19 percent, retail properties 14 percent and self-storage 4 percent – was 98 percent leased. Net revenues have doubled in the past decade, and the dividend – currently 5.6 percent, which is more than twice what it was in 2004 – has risen slowly but steadily since 1998, even through the two world recessions. I think WPC is going higher, and I think Larry Fink, whose BLK owns over 3 million shares, wouldn’t be upset if you sold 20 shares of his company’s shares to purchase 500 shares of WPC.

OPINION

ANOTHER VIEW

Sharing blame when state agency ignores the law Illinois lawmakers pass a bill to give taxpayers a clearer look at where money goes.

Gov. Pat Quinn signs the bill, making it law.

What happens next?

A) The law takes effect, increasing government transparency.

B) Absolutely nothing.

C) Absolutely nothing, and when unknowing lawmakers later vote to expand that law, nothing happens with that one, either.

Of course, the answer is C), as reporter Jake Griffin uncovered in a report published Wednesday.

The gap between what the law said should be done and what actually happened raises questions about who’s really running the show in Springfield, ratchets up voter cynicism and points out a waste of legislative time, money and effort that could have been spent on other major problems left unaddressed.

Lawmakers and the state Department of Central Management Services share the blame.

The issue began in 2012, when lawmakers sought to expand a public database of state workers’ names, job titles and salary.

They passed a bill adding county, township and municipal employees to the Illinois Transparency and Accountability Portal.

But they left a loophole, making the improvement “subject to appropriation.”

When no money was appropriated, CMS took that to mean it didn’t have to do the

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

work.

Lawmakers didn’t find that out even when they passed another bill last year adding library employees to the database. CMS didn’t do that, either.

Obviously, a mechanism is needed requiring state agencies to justify why they don’t believe they are bound by any law.

Beyond that, lawmakers and agencies need to agree on cost estimates before votes are taken on a bill. State Rep. Jack Franks, a Marengo Democrat and co-sponsor of the 2012 bill, said adding the data shouldn’t have cost CMS anything.

CMS claims it would cost $480,000 to add to the database and $240,000 a year to update and maintain it.

Some legislative proposals, but far too few, include fiscal notes detailing their cost, if enacted.

Lawmakers might have reasons to skip that step.

Who wants his or her name attached to a measure that costs money at a time when the state is so financially strapped?

But it’s disingenuous to leave that crucial detail unexamined.

We don’t have the space to go on about the irony of a government transparency bill that gets deep-sixed without anyone knowing about it.

But the people of Illinois need to know that if a law is passed, it will happen.

And if it doesn’t pass because we can’t afford it, well, that’s transparency, too.

Demonstrations in Ferguson raise some critical questions I’ve never thought of myself as having any special wisdom. But they say wisdom comes from experience, and sadly, I’ve had enough experience with flare-ups like Ferguson, Missouri, that wisdom has come unbidden.

I say “flare-up” because, like an ill-placed match, one event can ignite others, causing responses of outrage. Too often, though, the media spin rages out of control, fanning the flames and turning a flare-up into a firestorm.

In such cases, it helps to create what we might call a “rhetorical firewall:” identifying the questions without presuming (often arrogantly) to know the answers beforehand.

COMMUNITY SAFETY AT RISK WITH BRIDGE TALK To the Editor: All this talk about a bridge from Houbolt Road to the CenterPoint Intermodal is a bad and dangerous idea.

Consider the Hollywood Casino, Joliet Splash Station, a day care center, Rock Run Forest Preserve, Joliet Junior College and a set of railroad tracks. I have seen traffic backed up to Route 6 when the trains are crossing at Houbolt Road. All you’re doing is moving one truck traffic problem, Route 53, to another, to Route 6 and Houbolt Road. To keep the community safe, either put a limit on warehouses being built or stop building them.

All we hear is how good they are for jobs, then all we hear is how bad the truck traffic is, you can’t have it both ways.

When work is to be done on I-55 bridge over Des Plaines River, put it in writing that work is to be around the clock until complete. Close off Walter Strawn Drive, do not build your bridge to Houbolt Road, make the truck traffic use I-55 like it was originally planned for.

Add a road directly to the intermodal from the new Arsenal Road, interchange south of Mobil, and keep the truck traffic on the interstate highway.

This is the safest way to go, don’t make it the fastest way to solve your problem. Or put it on a ballot and see what the public wants. The homeowners off McClintock Road, Leland Hills, McClintock Acres don’t want this bridge built, we don’t want all this added truck traffic.

As I stated before, all you’re doing is trying to find the fastest way for the trucks to get back to the interstate.

Think about safety and the impact on peoples lives. If this is done, it’s a bad idea.

the government of Ferguson, Missouri, and the citizens it serves. The New York Times reports that Ferguson, though 67 percent black, has a white mayor, a school board of six white members and one Hispanic member, one black member on the City Council, and a police force that is only 6 percent black. That’s not representative democracy.

The aftermath of the shooting of Michael Brown raises three questions of national significance, each of which raise larger social and political issues.

One: Should we militarize the local police? Two men who rarely concur agree the answer is no. President Barack Obama said, “There is a big difference between our military and our local law enforcement, and we don’t want those lines blurred.”

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky said: “Soldiers and police are supposed to be different. ...

It’s the difference between Audie Murphy and Andy Griffith. But nowadays, police are looking, and acting, more like soldiers than cops, with bad consequences.” (Audie Murphy was the most decorated soldier in World War II; TV actor Andy Griffith played an even-tempered small town sheriff).

Policies and legislation need to be revised. Attitudes need to be examined. (Why does a small suburban community need a military-style tank?)

Two: What are the parameters, or limits, of the First Amendment? It guarantees “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”

The people in Ferguson feel they have a valid petition to present to the government.

They feel the use of deadly force was wrong. They want an open, fair and transparent investigation, and they want a guarantee the authorities will not do a cover-up or whitewash of Brown’s death.

The protests in Ferguson

have been boisterous but mostly peaceful. Yet hundreds of media reports from around the world have documented Ferguson citizens who are peacefully exercising their rights being jailed or tear-gassed. Ninetyyear-old Holocaust survivor Hedy Epstein, petitioning for justice, was arrested.

Three: another First Amendment issue, freedom of speech and freedom of the press.

The Freedom of the Press Foundation has documented 16 arrests of reporters who were just doing their job. In one instance, reporter Wesley Lowery of The Washington Post and Ryan Reilly of Huffington Post were eating in McDonald’s when arrested.

Professional journalists from Germany, Russia and Turkey were among those detained or arrested. The bad press is worldwide. In Ferguson, we are not living up to our principles, and everyone sees it.

When asking questions, root causes are important.

This all came about because a white police officer fatally shot an unarmed young black man. Why does that matter? A colleague said he was asked: “When was the last time you read or heard about a black police officer shooting dead an unarmed white teenager?”

That’s why.

Still, I believe there has been a turning point in Ferguson. The visit by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder let the citizens know the government has their back on liberties guaranteed by the Constitution. And something else that gave me a quiet hope: a picture in Newsweek of a young black male, John West, handing a rose to a broadly smiling police officer in Ferguson.

Yes, if we ask the right questions, and search for the answers together, there is hope.

There’s always hope.

Hilltoppers return more on defense, still expected to challenge Tyler Witt (left) makes a move to get past Brandon Kaminski during a practice drill at Joliet Catholic on Aug. 11 in Joliet.

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – The execution of the play, not the result from it, led Joliet Catholic football coach Dan Sharp to shout some unhappy words near the end of a recent practice.

“We are going to run the track 100 times if you guys don’t shape up,’’ Sharp called out to the Hilltoppers.

Although those demands from a coach aren’t unusual, the precision of plays run by Joliet Catholic is uncommon and part of what has made the Hilltoppers a traditional power.

The defending East Suburban Catholic Conference champions are coming off a 10-2 season where they reached the Class 5A quarterfinals, only to lose a heartbreaker to nemesis, Montini.

The Hilltoppers have more experience returning on defense than on offense, which will move on after the graduation of runningback Mike Ivlow, the Herald-News Offensive Player of the Year in 2013. Linebackers Mike Gruben and Brad Krisch, both returning starters, and Pete Riccolo, form a linebacking core Sharp is “really excited about.’’

“We’re under the radar this year,’’ Gruben said. “We don’t have any big names. I don’t think many teams will be looking for us that much.’’

“We’re reloading a little bit, but we should fill the gaps and have a good year,’’ Krisch said.

Rob Winner – rwinner@ shawmedia.com

Chase Krumviede, a 6-foot1, 250-pound two-way lineman, believes the Hilltoppers’ defense will be formidable with seven returning starters.

“Just like last year, I think our defense is going to be a force to reckon with,’’ he said.

Besides Krumviede, other returnees up front on defense are Kenny Aguirre (6-2, 270), Tyler Witt (6-3, 280) and Ze’veyon Furcron (6-1, 245).

Brandon Bolek is a returning starter at safety.

The secondary will include Marty Krizka, Brandon Holy, Luke Phelan and Bill Rotnic-

ki. Defensive linemen Joe Frescura and Zach Lukasik also will see action.

“The kids who are juniors stepping in really played well as sophomores,’’ Sharp said.

That includes junior quarterback Cade Earl, who started a couple varsity games when injury struck in the middle of last season.

“We have a lot of kids that were up on varsity last year that learned a lot from watching,’’Earl said. “They’re ready to step in and fill the roles of the guys from last year.’’

Wingback Nick Borgra

gained more than 700 yards last season as a junior alongside Ivlow.

“I had the privilege to play with Mike Ivlow and all those linemen and tight ends,’’ Borgra said. “From what I learned from them, I’m trying to teach the underclassmen, make us the best we can be.’’

time.

The backfield will include junior running backs Harry Davis and Michael Johnson and senior fullbacks Drew Voss and Jordan Green.

Senior kicker/punter Brian Bravo is expected to be a difference maker on the 44-member varsity.

“This group is as well-prepared, hard-working as any,’’ Sharp said. “We’re asking a lot of them because it’s the smallest number of kids I’ve had.’’

For the third year in a row, JCA will open its season against Providence.

“When you play an opener against Providence, it’s like a playoff atmosphere,’’ Sharp said. “It’s a big-time game, big community game, large crowd. I like playing a game like this early because it gives them a little playoff experience.

They get to handle a pressure game.’’

Sharp said Nazareth has some Division I players and is the team to beat in the conference. JCA’s conference opener is Sept. 12 at Carmel.

“Our biggest worry is going to be depth,’’Sharp said. “When you’ve got guys playing both ways, if you lose one, you’re actually losing two players.

That’s new for us. We’ve always two-platooned.

“If we stay healthy, I feel very good about the team.’’

JOLIET WEST

Tigers focused on starting strong, playoffs

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – The outlook for football success is evolving at Joliet West.

“In years past it was, ‘Well, we can’t beat H-F, can’t beat Sandburg, can’t beat Bolingbrook, can’t beat Lincoln-Way East,’ ’’ Joliet West coach Jason Aubry said. “ ‘Maybe we can win the last three games for five wins.’

“That’s where our mindset was before. That’s not how it is anymore.’’

West finished 3-6 last season, but near-misses against traditional powers Lincoln-Way East and Sandburg have helped fuel confidence for what the 2014 Tigers can accomplish.

The 36-28 loss to Sandburg followed two weeks later by a 35-28 setback against Lincoln-Way East meant West wasn’t far from getting to the state playoffs with a 5-4 record.

“The Lincoln-Way East coach said we deserved to win that game,’’ center Ethan Bohanek said. “I feel we’re closer to our goal.”

“One thing we learned from last year is we can’t go into a game just expecting to win,’’ defensive tackle Houston Thomas said. “We have to go out there and get it.’’

West opens this season with nonconference games against Tinley Park and King from the Chicago Public League. The Tigers then start their SouthWest Suburban Blue schedule with four straight against H-F, Sandburg, Bolingbrook and

On the plus side, West returns four starters on the offensive line – Bohanek, a two-year starter at center, guards Rick Dove and Scott Blankenship and tackle Ray Betancourt.

“The returning guys, it’s not to be like a role model, but show what we can still do even though we’ve lost some important people,’’ Bohanek said.

In the backfield, junior Jacob Coyl heads a group of running backs that includes seniors Chris Sowell and Brenton Thompson, junior Juwan McBee and sophomore Justin Labuhn.

and senior Mitch Dolak, last year’s varsity backup, are 1-2 on the depth chart.

Other offensive contributors will be junior left tackle Michael Lewis, wide receivers Kyle Henderson and Evan French and slot receivers Christian Griswald, Collin Brown and Zack Browning.

As a unit, the offense is hearing from Aubry what it takes to win.

“Losing to Lincoln-Way East by seven points, when we finished on the 12-yard line, we should have punched it in Joliet West center Ethan Bohanek prepares to snap the ball during and we didn’t,’’ he said.

Providence receiver Nate Vejvoda runs with the ball during a practice Aug. 12 at Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox. Vejvoda is committed to play football at the University of Iowa.

TALENTED RETURNERS Hunniford, boosted by Boykin, Vejvoda, to propel Celtics

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – Providence football returns only three starters on the offensive side of the ball, but what a trio it is.

Senior quarterback Justin Hunniford threw for 1,873 yards and 20 touchdowns last season, when the Celtics reached the quarterfinals in Class 6A. He has quite a pair of seniors to throw the ball to, as well.

Notre Dame-bound Miles Boykin is as talented a player as any in the area. The 6-foot-4, 220-pounder is a big target who hauled in 51 passes for 730 yards and 13 touchdowns last season. Iowa-bound tight end Nate Vejvoda (24 catches, 352 yards, 3 TDs) can make big plays as well.

“It’s been a huge benefit, getting all

that experience together last year,” Hunniford said. “We spent a lot of time together during the offseason. We did a lot of classroom work getting our playbook down and routes down. We’re a lot more comfortable with each other going into this season.

“It makes it a lot easier having them.

They’re very intelligent on the field.

Their football IQs are very high. They know how to read coverages, they know how to get open. They run their routes very crisp. Knowing guys will get to the right spot at the right time helps my mind relax a lot.”

The trio will be counted on heavily with the graduation of running back Dominic Lagone. Providence coach Mark Coglianese said senior Sean Diehl and sophomore Richie Warfield will

share carries.

“Our strength, hopefully, will be our passing game,” Coglianese said. “We know we can’t be one-dimensional, though. We’re going to need to run the ball. We have a very young offensive line that we’re going to need to step up and do good things to help us be successful.”

Defensively, Coglianese expects big contributions from senior linebacker Jimmy Sharkey, junior linebacker Brendan O’Hara, senior lineman Jake Rost and junior safety Mike Madej.

The Celtics are hungry to erase the memories of last season’s heart-breaking quarterfinal loss to East St. Louis, which scored a touchdown and picked up a two-point conversion in the final minute to knock Providence out, 22-21.

“I wanted to be one step closer to that

state championship game,” Boykin said.

“Being one point away, that was surreal to me. As a senior, I want to do everything I can to make sure that doesn’t happen again.”

It’s that theme that’s carried the Celtics through preseason practice with a chip on their shoulder.

“There’s not a day we don’t talk about that game or think about it,” Coglianese said. “It was on our home field, late in the game, we let it slip away. We felt that was a game we should have won. We’re doing everything we can every day to make sure if that situation arises again, we’re going to make those plays to get that win.”

As usual, Providence will take on a brutal schedule.

There’s the season opener at Joliet Catholic, a Week 3 clash with Mount Carmel and the rest of the tough Catholic Blue slate.

It’s a challenge the players embrace.

“It fires us up tremendously,” Hunniford said. “We like taking on one of the toughest schedules in the state. We don’t want to take on cupcakes and get easy wins. We want to show that our wins are well-earned and we’re one of the toughest teams in the state.”

So the mission is simple: get to five wins, and the Celtics know they will be battle-tested and ready for the playoffs.

Do that, and it’ll be time to chase the ultimate prize.

“I want to win the state title,” Boykin said. “That’s my only goal. We have the talent.

It’s just a matter of us coming together and playing four quarters like I know we’re capable of.”

LOOKING TO THE FUTURE Steelmen aiming to snap 0-36 mark in past four seasons

By TIM O’BRIEN

JOLIET CENTRAL

Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – The elephant in the room is obvious at Joliet Central.

Steelmen coach Brett Boyter isn’t ignoring it. He’s talking about it. He’s addressing it head-on.

The elephant?

Joliet Central football has gone winless since the split in 2010 with West, going 0-36 overall in four seasons.

“We talk about it, and it is a motivating factor,” Boyter said. “It’s something we used throughout the offseason. It is part of our program. That’s part of our past, but it doesn’t have to be part of our future. We can only use the past as motivation to change and affect our future.”

And with that winless cloud hanging in the air, the Steelmen simply aren’t focusing on it.

Central has kept on working. Boyter credits a strong offseason for bringing his team together. The season kicks off Friday night at home in a nonconference game versus Thornridge (0-9 last season).

“We know we’ve been 0-9 for the last several seasons, but we know we can pick it up,” senior running back Tommie Sherman said. “This year will be the one that we most likely start winning some games and turn it around for Joliet Central all-around.”

Sherman and wide receiver Josh Morris are returning starters who will figure heavily into the equation offensively for the Steelmen, while junior

Boyter also expects junior wide receiver Kameron Smith, freshman quarterback Zach Wisneski, senior running back Mike Robinson, sophomore tight end Zach Schraer and junior tight end Rickey Herrod to contribute.

Joining Castro on the line will be juniors Pablo Reyes, Jasyn Hurt and Salvatore Ruiz.

The offensive goal? Score some points as the Steelmen were shut out six times last year, and help out the defense.

“The guys are into it this year and we’re committed,” Sherman said. “We’ve got a good backfield so I feel we can help the defense out more and

move the ball on offense.”

On the defensive side of the ball, junior defensive end Alex Ruettiger, senior defensive end Jake Klima, senior linebacker Matt Key, junior safety Malek Harden and junior cornerback Aaryss Stallings return.

Others to watch out for include a cornerback combo, senior Dionta Brown and junior Robert Davis.

“That first win, it would mean a lot because past senior classes haven’t gotten a win the past four years,” Key said. “It would give us a lot of pride and pump us up to get that second win. We want to do every play the correct way (defensively) and pump up the team.”

The Steelmen have the po-

tential to claim some wins early, going up against Thornridge (0-9) and Rich South (1-8). Central will then try to navigate the always-tough, always-deep SouthWest Suburban Blue where perennial powers Bolingbrook, Homewood-Flossmoor and Lincoln-Way East loom.

Searching for that first program win, Boyter feels he has the team to get the job done.

“We’re looking for the win, and we’re more than capable of doing it,” Boyter said. “The nice thing is, for the first time this year expectations aren’t coming from the coaching staff.

It’s coming from the players with a lot more vocal leaders.

It’s a stronger team.”

The Steelmen want that

first one, but that’s not it. They want to start rattling off some wins and keep that going in the coming years.

“If we work hard and get that win, we’re going to celebrate, but we’re going back to work,” Boyter said. “It’s over with. We’re not going to rest on that. I know the kids have the same mentality. A renewed purpose, renewed focus to get back there and win again.”

back Javier Montalvo (2,262 rushing yards, 27 touchdowns) and quarterback Justin Keuch (1,485 passing yards, 17 touchdowns).

Ernst adds West loses all of its receiving and passing yards and a majority of its rushing yards.

Gabe Montalvo, Adam Kneer and Kurtis Flounder will all figure into West’s run-oriented offense.

“It’s a thing where they all know running is the focal point of our offense,” Ernst said. “If you’re playing running back, you’re going to get the ball in your hands. They’re excited that it is their time.”

Sophomores Dino Berrelli and Connor Lowman will compete for the starting quarterback spot.

Helping ease the development of the young skill players will be strong line play, both offensively and defensively.

“We’re really good at the offensive line, probably the best group on our team right now,” Ernst said. “We try to get better all the time [as a team]. If we struggle early, we struggle.

We’re not going to move on to anything else until we’re good at what we’re doing now.”

Heckler, Justin Witt, Brian Brokop, Jake Zola and Simon Egner will anchor the offensive line.

Trolian, linebackers Trey Tellez and Danny Allan, and defensive backs Pete King and Cam Gavin will be key players for Lincoln-Way West defensively.

Other players figuring into

the offensive equation are Cody Marconi, Ben Zordani and Joe Shirley.

Only time will tell how Ernst’s squad develops over the coming months, but the potential is there for the Warriors to take off and defend their SouthWest Suburban Red title.

“We’ve got veterans in some spots, and we’re real young in others,” Ernst said.

“When the end of the year rolls around, hopefully we’ve got five or six wins and get in the playoffs.”

Lincoln-Way West is coming off a 10-2 season last fall, with both losses to Sycamore, including a season-ending loss in the Class 5A quarterfinals.

With the Warriors having advanced to the quarterfinals the last two seasons only to come up short both times, the precedent has been set.

“After the past couple seasons, the quarterfinals are our lowest expectation,” said senior defensive tackle Nick Trolian, a three-year starter.

“We should be back there every year. We’ve got a good idea of who our players will be, but it’s fun to get out here [at practice] and see who is for real.”

NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way West football team isn’t the new kid on the block anymore.

With five seasons under the program’s belt, and just one losing season, the Warriors have become one of the area’s most consistent squads.

For good and bad, and West coach Dave Ernst will take them all.

“The newness has worn off, and now that we’ve been around a little while, little things happen like some helmets get rejected,” Ernst said with a smile. “A lot of things that you don’t experience when you’re starting. There’s more problems, but they’re good problems. We’ve got 60 freshmen, but we need some helmets. We’ll take that any day of the week.”

Having posted four straight winning seasons, including three SouthWest Suburban Red titles, West heads into the 2014 campaign with a head of steam.

The Warriors are young, especially at skill positions offensively, but this group is raring to go.

Youth? Big deal.

“I think we should have the highest expectations,” senior right tackle Jake Heckler said.

“Leading into the season, we want to make the state playoffs and win the state championship. We’re trying to work our butts off and win the state championship.”

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – Two seasons in a row, Lincoln-Way Central’s football team has found itself in the most painful of positions – one win short of qualifying for the playoffs.

The Knights finished 4-5 for the second straight season in 2013 and memories of near misses are providing plenty of motivation as Central gets ready for the new year.

“Last year, there were so many games that we should have won,” senior running back Sean Studer said. “This year, it’s going to drive us to know that we can win those games. It’s going to make us so much better and make us hungry.”

The Knights will hold themselves to a high standard in 2014. Hud Venerable begins his second year as the team’s coach, and he is used to winning. During 14 seasons at Normal Community, Venerable’s teams won a state championship, went 126-37, won seven Big 12 conference titles and qualified for the playoffs 13 times.

“I think we learned a lot about each other last year,” Venerable said. “We’ve got a strong group of seniors that are ready to lead this team.

The intangibles, work ethic and coachability are off the charts.

“Overall, the expectation level is high. We expect to contend for a (SouthWest Suburban Red) title and go

Venerable raves about his senior leadership and expects to start 19 members of that class. Quarterback Connor Campbell, Studer and slotback Joe Nealon will be counted on to lead the offense.

It’s an offense that will have a different look – and speed – to it.

“Our offense is so quick,” Studer said. “We run a play every 12 seconds. We’re going to tire out defenses. The coaches wanted to go fast this year, not get in the huddle or anything. We’re not as big on the O-line, but we’re really quick, so we’re going to beat teams with that game.”

Venerable thinks a no-huddle attack will utilize

his team’s strengths.

“We have well-conditioned athletes that train really hard to get into the best possible shape,” he said.

“The offense blends with the kind of kids we have. Our big kids really run well. So we thought the up-tempo would mesh well with our players.”

A Knights’ defense that held opponents under 25 points in seven of nine games last season should continue to improve. Bryan Ditchman, a 6-foot-3, 285-pound junior who’s a rock on the offensive line, is expected to see more time on the defensive line this year. Returning senior starters include linemen Jake Ruzas and Sean Kelly, linebacker Brandon Dominski and defensive back Justin

Markus.

“I think we have good balance,” Venerable said.

“There’s no one area that sticks out as a weakness.

Every team has weaknesses, but I think this team has the ability to hide them pretty well.”

The Knights still think about those close losses from last season. The 14-7 defeat to Andrew. The 17-12 loss to Lincoln-Way East when the Griffins scored on a kickoff return and had a blocked punt set up another score.

The 22-21 heart-breaker to Lincoln-Way North, a bad snap leading to a late safety that cost Central the game.

“We think about (the North game) and the East game a lot,” Kelly said. “Two

mistakes that could have changed our season. That’s what we’re harping on this season. Little things lead to big things.”

In 2009, the Knights made the playoffs for the 15th straight season. They haven’t been back since, and this veteran-laden team hopes to be the one to change that.

“They want to be the team and the class that everybody points to and says, ‘That class, that team in 2014, they led the turnaround,’ ” Venerable said.

LEMONT BOYS GOLF SHOOT-OUT

47

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, August 24, 2014

LOCKPORT – The boys golf season may have just concluded its opening week, but Providence Catholic has already turned in some performances that are noteworthy.

After opening up with a title Monday at St. Laurence, the Celtics were second to topranked Hinsdale Central at Wednesday’s Addison Trail Invite.

On Friday, Providence continued its first-week success by turning in a balanced effort to claim top honors in the 14-team Lemont Indians Shoot-Out at Broken Arrow Golf Club.

All six Celtics finished between 73 and 78 to help their squad finish with a 299 total, which was nine strokes ahead of runner-up Lockport.

Glenbard South (311), Minooka (315), Plainfield North (322), Joliet Township (326), Lemont (338), Joliet Catholic (347), Yorkville (349) and Plainfield South (349) rounded out the top 10 in the field.

Leading the way for Providence were Will McCabe, who placed fourth with a 73, Mickey Brick, who was fifth with a 74, and Ricky Costello, who finished eighth with a 75.

“It was nice to see all six guys play pretty well,” McCabe said. “In our first two tournaments, we played well, but we were kind of shaky. I think that we can improve on things but this was definitely a good start to the season, so I’m excited about it.

“I think after being so close to making it to state the last two years, we learned our lessons from that and it should really help us out this year.

We have really good team chemistry and all of our team players. We don’t do it for individual awards and also never give up.”

Kevin McEneany and Mike Cascino turned in scores of 77 for the Celtics, while Dom Cascino finished with a round of 78.

Lockport was led by Gehrig Hollatz, whose 72 was the third-best score of the event.

Luke Trent placed sixth with a 75, Matt Sheldon shot a 78

and Ben McAdams posted an 83.

“I thought that we played pretty good,” Hollatz said.

“We all didn’t start out that great but we came back really well. We shot a 329 in our first tournament at Bloomington, which wasn’t that good.

But this was a pretty good improvement and it was nice to get a good round under our belts.

“We definitely want to go downstate this year. We have a bunch of really good guys on this team and we have a bunch of guys who can shoot in the low- to mid-70s and hopefully we can get a 78 in there so that we can shoot right around 300 every single time.”

The day’s top-score was turned in by Glenbard South’s Russell Matos, who combined a 35 and a 33 to finish with

a four-under par 68. Joliet Township’s Trent Wallace claimed second place with nines of 38 and 33 to post a round of 71.

Leading the way for Minooka were Kyle Sheppard and Dan Anfield, who both turned in rounds of 77. Ryan Johnson shot a 79, Mike Klover had an 82 and Noah Lindmark finished with an 83 for the Indians.

For Plainfield North, Patrick Butler was seventh with a 75 and Taylor Hollingshaus placed ninth with a 76.

Greg Rash finished with a round of 81 for the Tigers.

Besides Wallace’s sec ond-place effort, JT also received an 82 from Mark Boykin and an 83 from Kyler O’Connell.

“I struggled a little bit in

the beginning but then I got hot toward the end and made three birdies in a row and got to one-under,” Wallace said.

“Our two through six are good but they just need to learn how to play in tournaments and once they do that, I feel like we can compete with anybody. Once they figure it out, we’re going to be a team to look out for.”

The host Indians got an 81 from Joe Pavlovic while Matt Groebe fired an 85.

JCA’s top scorers were Jake Pluth, with an 81, and Wally Osterberger, who had an 84.

Plainfield South was paced

by Isaiah Pina and Brian Ward, who each shot an 82 while Morris was led by Jake Hulbert, who finished with an 81.

Roark’s rise demonstrates baseball’s unpredictability Tanner Roark’s major league career began in August 2013 when the Washington Nationals elevated him to the parent club.

Quick, name four major league starters who have a better ERA since then.

If you said Clayton Kershaw, Johnny Cueto, Zack Greinke and Jon Lester, you know your baseball. Those are the only four that Roark, a 27-year-old Wilmington graduate, trails in that telling statistic.

This season, the righthander is 12-7 with a 2.80 ERA in 160⅔ innings. For his career, he is 19-8 with a 2.48 ERA in 214⅓ innings.

He not only is in the top five in ERA since he became a major league starter, he also is among the leaders this season in starts where he pitches at least seven innings and allows zero or one run.

When they say baseball is unpredictable, that especially applies to pitchers. For much of his minor league career, Roark was not considered a

hot prospect. But during a 2012 season that was mediocre or worse statistically, he straightened himself out mentally.

Now, he is entrenched in the Nationals’ rotation.

Washington has been hot and appears headed to the postseason, so this season may bring the ultimate finish for Roark.

Dare we say, World Series?

A year ago, Cincinnati left-hander Tony Cingrani (Lincoln-Way Central) established himself as a bigtime starter. That was after posting spectacular numbers in a couple of minor league seasons. He finished 7-4 with a 2.92 ERA with the Reds and entered this season with high hopes.

Remember, though, pitching is unpredictable. Back and shoulder issues flared up, and Cingrani had a stint on the disabled list in May and was 2-8 with a 4.55 ERA when the Reds demoted him to Triple-A Louisville in June.

A matter of days later, he was

VIEWS Dick Goss placed on the DL at Louisville with a strained shoulder, and his status has not changed since.

With the way Cingrani was throwing, it seems if he gets his health back in order, he can regain the effectiveness he showed last season.

Imagine the feather in the cap of our area if we simultaneously had two quality starters in rotations of National League teams that were playoff contenders.

On the American League side, young Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) is getting his first taste of the major leagues with Houston and entered Saturday having worked eight innings in relief with a 6.75 ERA. However, he had struck out six while allowing one walk. Over time, the strikeout-to-walk ratio will be a

key to Foltynewicz’s success.

He has plenty of velocity, capable of hitting triple digits at any time.

Meanwhile, outfielder Joe Benson (Joliet Catholic) continues to raise his batting average at Jacksonville, Miami’s Double-A affiliate in the Southern League. He came into Saturday 16 for 42 in his past 11 games with two homers and 16 RBIs. He drove in six runs Friday.

For the season, he was hitting .267 with 22 doubles, four triples, 10 homers and 62 RBIs. He is striking out much less frequently now than he was early on.

Benson made his major league debut in September of 2011 with Minnesota and got 71 official at-bats. Since then, he has had his struggles, with injuries a major factor. Jacksonville is making a playoff push, but I do wonder whether the Marlins may give him a call when rosters can be expanded in September.

Outfielder John Ruettiger (JCA), Benson’s high school

teammate in baseball and football, struggled for a while this season after Baltimore moved him from Double-A Bowie to A-Advanced Frederick. However, he has begun to turn it back around.

In his previous 19 at-bats entering Saturday, Ruettiger had seven hits. That raised his average to .222 in 108 atbats.

Baseball people will say prospects must learn how to fail before they can reach the highest level and succeed there.

That might be what happened with Gordon Beckham, whom the White Sox traded to the Angels late last week for what likely will amount to little more than a bag of baseballs.

Contrast Beckham with Roark. One was a hot prospect who couldn’t miss, and did. The other barely was thought of a prospect at all, and now look at him.

JOLIET TOWNSHIP INVITATIONAL

Lincoln-Way West only figures to get better

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Tim Daly wasn’t too concerned about the showing of his Lincoln-Way West girls golf team during Saturday’s Joliet Township Invitational at Woodruff Golf Course.

That’s because the veteran coach knew he was missing both of his seniors because of illness, with one of those being a competitor who fared well at state two years ago.

Alexis Biedrzycki, who tied for fourth place in the 2012 Class AA finals, not only figures to be the Warriors leader but should also be one of the best in the state this season.

“Alexis is back for her senior year, so we’re very excited to have her,” Daly said.

“She has hopes to make a run

for the state championship this year. If you have an elite player like Alexis and can generate some support for her, we can put together a pretty solid team.

“I think that we’ve gotten a lot better this year from where we were at last year.

We have a whole crew of girls who are flirting with double digits, which is something that we haven’t seen in the past. I feel good about where we’re at. We’ve been building and building in order to get ready to make a splash, and I think that this is the year that we go for it.”

Leading the way for the Warriors, who placed eighth with a 422, was freshman Jaclyn Dolan, who shot a 100. Ellie Paul finished with a 105, Maddie Maynard posted a 108 and

Maddie Bellone added a 109 for West.

Thanks to the efforts of JT District Activities and Athletic Director Chris Olson and his golf coaching staff, all of the participants from the 13-team field were safely heading back to their schools when storms reached the area.

After speeding along play to beat the bad weather, it was apparent the top squad was not one of the many west suburban programs in attendance, but rather a member of JT’s own SouthWest Suburban Conference.

Carl Sandburg had the top three finishers in the field, including medalist Emily Cosler, who shot a 75, as well as an individual who finished in a three-way tie for fourth.

Its range of scores from 75 to

84 helped it to easily claim top honors with a 319.

Naperville North beat Downers Grove North, 344-349, for second place while York (375), Downers Grove South (392), Hinsdale South (394) and Wheaton North (397) were next.

Plainfield North (437), JT Co-Op (465), Andrew (476), Joliet Catholic Academy (489) and Plainfield South (489) rounded out the competition.

Leading the way for North were Carly Staser (98), Marissa Platt (103), Lexi Mori (117) and Abby Daniels (119) while JT was led by Milena Singletary (98) and Jill Tomasino (117).

JCA was paced by Jen Filotto (114) and Annie Mihelich (121) while South was led by Rachel Milavec (112) and Allie

Granato (117).

“Chris has been able to get some great teams here year after year and the same teams always want to come back which just shows how great of a job Kirk Blakney and the Woodruff staff do in hosting this,” JT coach Brian Koehne said.

“It’s fun and good to be able to play in a nice tournament early in the year against some great talent.

“We’re rebuilding this year, so it’s good for our girls to see what it takes to get to that level. We’re very inexperienced this year since we only have three girls who’ve played since their freshman year and the other three are new.

LITTLELEAGUEWORLD SERIES–U.S.TITLEGAME: CHICAGO7,LASVEGAS5

Chicago advances to title game The ASSOCIATED PRESS SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. – After his Chicago team had come back to beat Las Vegas, 7-5, in the U.S. final on Saturday at the Little League World Series, manager Darold Butler admitted he wasn’t sure what came next.

“I don’t even know what time tomorrow’s game is,” he said. “Anybody know?”

For the record, his Jackie Robinson West team meets South Korea in the World Series championship game on Sunday at 2 p.m.

He and his players were so focused on their game with the West Region champions from Las Vegas that they didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to Saturday’s earlier game.

South Korea walloped Japan, 12-3, to take the International title, setting up the matchup at Lamade Stadium.

“To be honest, (I saw) bits and pieces, but I can’t tell you much about our next opponent,” Butler said.

He said it was more important how his own team plays rather than dealing with strategy and a game plan.

“I’m going to do my research, to put the team in the best position to win this game,” he said. “But at the same time, I love our style of baseball. We’re going to run, we’re going to be aggressive. There’s going to be times I’m going to burn runners – sometimes I’m a little bit too aggressive.

“But I prefer to put the pressure on 11-, 12- and 13-year-old kids. I figure if we put enough pressure on them, some of their kids are going to make mistakes.”

Clearly, the American team will have a partisan crowd in the championship game. But playing in front of a pro-U.S. crowd won’t faze the South Koreans.

“I don’t really care about the crowd,” player Jun Ha Yoo said.

BEARS

Feel free to hit panic button SEATTLE – You hate to make any sweeping judgments off the Bears’ preseason game Friday because the Seahawks are the defending Super Bowl champions and Russell Wilson can make any defense look bad, but …

The wide-open Seattle receivers! The out-of-position Bears’ defenders! The stupid penalties! The horror!

The Bears will tell you their first-team defense is a work in progress, but when you think about it, so is a compost heap.

That’s how bad the “revamped” defense looked in a 34-6 loss to the Seahawks. It looked so bad that it looked exactly like the 2013 defense, which gave up yards and touchdowns as if they were handbills.

Again, you don’t want to make too much of this. On the other hand, Friday was a very good test for the Bears, and they flunked it, badly.

In the first half, Seattle was 7 for 7 on third-down conversions and had 250 yards of offense against the Bears’ first-team defense. In that span, Wilson completed 13 of 17 passes for 174 yards and two touchdowns, and had a passer rating of 147.7. The Seahawks led, 31-0.

Linebacker Jon Bostic looked badly out of position

VIEWS Rick Morrissey in coverage. Cornerback Tim Jennings got fooled by Percy Harvin on a second-quarter cut, and the result was a 25-yard gain and, one suspects, a lost jockstrap. Charles Tillman got beat for touchdown in the second quarter to make it 21-0.

Shea McClellin continued to look position-less.

There really was nowhere to hide for the Bears.

The offense wasn’t much either. A Brandon Marshall penalty wiped out a Bears’ touchdown late in the second quarter, Jay Cutler was intercepted on the next play at the Seahawks’ 2-yard line and Seattle got three points out of it on a 59-yard field goal by Steven Hauschka.

Bears coach Marc Trestman said it all was “fixable.”

“I think we’ve got to take it all in perspective, and I think our team does,” he said. “I think we’re humble enough to know that we’ve got work to do, that what we saw out there is correctable.”

This was the third preseason game, the dress rehearsal for the real season, the contest

in which the starters play big minutes. Of the four meaningless preseason games, the third one is the least meaningless, which I suppose is like being the tallest Chihuahua. If you think the exhibition season is important, I would point you in the direction of the 1985 Bears, who had a 1-3 preseason record.

In Chicago, you can end any debate by citing the ’85 Bears.

“I’ve been on a Bears team that lost every preseason game (in 2010) and had everybody bearing down on us saying, ‘This is going to be a bad season,’ and we went to the NFC Championship,” linebacker Lance Briggs said. “It’s training tape.”

But still, who expected Friday night? You wanted to see progress. That wasn’t asking so much, was it? Something to hold on to. Something to build on against a great team in the din of CenturyLink Field, which makes up for in noise what it lacks in naming-rights charm.

You could feel the city of Chicago’s panic all the way from here. The playoff aspirations looked very, very far off from the vantage point of an awful performance Friday.

For the Bears to be in the postseason conversation this

season, they need their defense to be adequate. Not even good.

Just adequate. The offense will do its thing under Professor Trestman, but it’s a fact that NFL teams cannot live on offense alone.

Lots of fans probably are thinking it never is too early to restart the Fire Mel Tucker movement, but unless the defensive coordinator had a hand in telling a veteran such as Jennings how to be embarrassed on a missed tackle, I’m not sure what he could have done Friday night. And if you allow your imagination to get too carried away, you’ll get very frightened at the possibility the defensive personnel is not much better this season.

Wilson sliced up the Bears, doing whatever he wanted whenever he wanted. That should scare the bejabbers out of the Bears and their fans.

The regular-season schedule includes quarterbacks Colin Kaepernick, Aaron Rodgers (twice), Tom Brady and Drew Brees.

Come to think of it, feel free to panic, everyone.

MLB ROUNDUP

Coghlan leads Cubs past Orioles The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Rick Renteria knew all about Chris Coghlan’s career numbers against Bud Norris, and felt he was playing too well to take him out of the lineup.

It proved to be one nice call by the rookie manager.

Coghlan finally solved Norris with a bases-loaded triple that sparked the Cubs to a 7-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on a soggy Saturday at Wrigley Field.

Justin Grimm (4-2) pitched 3⅓ hitless innings after a rain delay of 3 hours, 9 minutes, helping the last-place Cubs

win their second straight against the AL East leaders.

Logan Watkins had two hits and two RBIs, and touted rookie Javier Baez hit his seventh homer in the seventh, an opposite-field liner into the basket in right.

Coghlan was 0 for 15 with six strikeouts against Norris (11-8) before he capped the Cubs’ four-run second with his fifth triple of the season.

“I’d be lying to you if I didn’t say I saw it,” Renteria said, referring to Coghlan’s trouble with the veteran right-hander. “But all things being equal, the way he’s been swinging the bat, I really

thought he was going to have a good chance to do something today.”

Yankees 5, White Sox 3: At New York, Alejandro De Aza lost a flyball in the sun. Carlos Sanchez failed to handle a grounder in front of second base.

Scott Carroll gave up a couple of costly walks.

The White Sox couldn’t overcome several miscues in a 5-3 loss to the New York Yankees on Saturday that sent the Sox to its season high-tying fifth straight loss.

“You make some mistakes out there and with a lineup like this, they’ll grind you,”

manager Robin Ventura said.

Alexei Ramirez had an RBI double in the second but the Sox wasted an early lead for the second straight day and lost their seventh in a row at Yankee Stadium.

Martin Prado had a tworun double in a fourth inning that began with De Aza flinching as Brian McCann’s fly into the bright afternoon sky fell to the turf in left field for a double.

The Sox made two headsup plays to catch runners between second and third for outs but Prado’s hit was enough to put New York ahead, 3-1.

SUBMITTED REPORT CRESTWOOD – The Joliet Slammers defeated Windy City, 7-1, on Friday as Kody McFarland pitched a gem at Standard Bank Stadium.

Joliet’s Frontier League game Saturday was washed out and is rescheduled as the opener of Sunday’s doubleheader to conclude its road schedule for the season.

The Slammers struck first with a solo home run to right

by Adam Giacalone to lead off the second inning. It was his team-leading 10th home run of the season and 49th RBI. McFarland started and struck out five in the first three innings. He retired the first 10 in a row and had a no-hitter through six innings.

He faced the minimum at that

time, allowing one walk. The runner was later out on a double play.

Joliet added to its 1-0 lead in the seventh with four runs.

Max Casper got an RBI single and Chris Epps added a tworun single. Grant DeBruin’s sacrifice fly made it 5-1.

Former Lewis Flyers outfielder Andrew Brauer led off the bottom of the seventh with a bloop single to shallow rightfield to end McFarland’s no-hit bid. Then Ryan Soares singled in Brauer to end the shutout attempt.

McFarland left the game after 7⅔ innings. He allowed one run on four hits with 11 strikeouts and one walk. He threw 114 pitches, with 74 being strikes. His 11 strikeouts are a personal- and team-high for 2014.

The Slammers added two more runs in the top of the ninth inning on an RBI single by Matt Weaver and a run-scoring double by DeBruin, his second of the night.

David Kubiak came on to get the final four outs, retiring the side with strikeouts in the ninth to give the Slammers pitchers 14 strikeouts on the evening. Kubiak picked up his fourth save after entering in the eighth with a four-run lead but the tying runner was in the on-deck circle.

Joliet finished with 13 hits and catcher Adam Lewis had three singles. Weaver, Giacalone and DeBruin had two hits each.

The win ends Joliet’s three-game losing streak and moves it out of last place in the division.

LOCAL ROUNDUP

Saints women’s soccer team drops opener SUBMITTED REPORT DES MOINES, Iowa – The University of St. Francis women’s soccer team opened its 2014 campaign with a 1-0 loss Saturday afternoon to host AIB College of Business.

After a scoreless first half, the Eagles (1-0) scored the game’s only goal when Carlin Samuelson found the back of the net seven min-

utes into the second period.

AIB held a slim 5-4 edge in shots in the first half, then outshot the Saints (0-1) by a 7-2 margin in the second stanza to post a 12-6 advantage for the match. Freshman netminder Bethany Dombkowski made seven saves for St. Francis, while her AIB counterpart Kaylin Swart stopped four shots en route to the shutout.

Saturday’s game marked the first meeting between the two schools.

The Saints lost their season opener for the first time in five years.

USF returns to action Thursday night when it opens the home portion of its schedule against Lindenwood University-Belleville at ATI Field at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

New Lenox man hopeful for heart transplant

Help the Robert Strilko family by visiting gofundme.com/helpingheartsforrobert or mail donations payable to Robert Strilko Benefit Fund, First Midwest Bank, 3737 W. 147th St., Midlothian, IL 60445.

EW LENOX – The respite has ended, said Kristy Strilko of New

Lenox.

Kristy is referring to the times between March – when her husband Robert received a device to help his oversized heart pump blood – and Aug. 27 – the date Robert will learn if he is a good candidate for a possible heart transplant.

So far, Robert is doing well.

“I’m able to get up and move around a lot better,” Robert said. “I’m not running out of air and I have a lot more energy.”

That wasn’t the case a few months ago. Robert has dilated cardiomyopathy – an enlargement of his heart’s left ventricle. Without assistance, Robert’s heart only pumped at 10 to 20 percent of its capacity, Kristy said.

That left Robert with a host of symptoms: water retention, breathing difficulties, fatigue and memory loss. He received a pacemaker and defibrillator in December 2012. In March, an LVAD, or left ventricle assist device, was installed to enhance the pumping capabilities in that part of his heart.

The goal, Kristy said, was improve Robert’s health enough to make him a candidate for a heart transplant.

So far, it’s been mostly good.

Robert has spent the last few months losing 30 pounds, building up his strength and in counseling, all necessary steps for placement on that transplant list, he said.

Kristy also has undergone counseling, she said.

Most recently, Robert had a dental exam and blood work, to screen for additional infections, disorders or diseases.

“If they find cancer or any other condition,” Kathy said, “he can’t go on the heart transplant list.”

Overall, Robert has enjoyed his summer, the first time he’s spent any extended time with his daughters – 11-year-old Hannah and 9-year-old Shanna – since he was always busy working as a paint technician when he was healthy. Mostly, he would take them swimming, his favorite summer recreation, he said.

This year, wearing the LVAD device prevented Robert from swimming. But he could – and did – play board games, go on short vacations and just hang out. He

probably will never return to work, he said, but that reality no longer bothers Robert.

“To tell you the truth, I just want to continue enjoying life,” Robert said.

“I was quite the workaholic for many years and I put everything else on the back burner. I’m rather enjoying spending time with families and friends.”

Life before the LVAD was a series of health scares: extreme breathlessness and edema because of the ineffective pumping of his heart and fainting from irregular

Just because Robert’s health is stable doesn’t mean the challenges are gone. He still has more pounds to shed.

His illness has affected the family in multiple ways and they are doing their best to cope. Shanna is the optimist; Hannah is struggling, Kristy said.

This house at 505 N. Raynor Ave. is owned by Nicole Mikuzis and Bob Richards and was built around 1913.

It is a classic American Foursquare, a very popular construction style in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It has neo-classical features, such as the tapered columns, as well as Prairie-style elements, including the flared roof. This blending of styles was common in early 20th Century American domestic architecture.

This home at 509 Western Ave. is owned by Carol Spencer. This Colonial Revival built around 1906 features a full-width front porch, large leaded and stained glass windows, pocket doors and a center entry door with sidelights and a transom. The original carriage house is still standing at the back of the lot.

This home at 1201 Campbell St. is owned by Michael and Amy Gahan. It was built in 1957 for a local doctor and sits perpendicular to the street and faces the driveway. A New Orleans-style wrought iron balcony is cantilevered along the full width of the second story.

FRANKFORT – Sixty-four young anglers ages 3 to 12 attended the 11th annual “Get Hooked on Frankfort” fishing derby sponsored by the Village of Frankfort.

Prizes – including fishing poles, reels and tackle boxes – were awarded for the biggest fish caught and most fish caught in two age categories (3-7 and 8-12). The village also awarded gift certificates to Frankfort restaurants for the winners to enjoy with their family.

Winners in the 3-7 age

bracket included Sophia Reising, 3, of Frankfort for the biggest fish caught at 12 inches and Amaya Johnston, 6, of Frankfort for the most fish caught (12).

Winners in the 8-12 age bracket included Brett O’Sullivan, 11, of Frankfort for the most fish caught (19) and Emerson Dell, 12, of Frankfort for the biggest fish caught at 12 inches.

A total of 231 fish were caught during the event. Mary Canino, manager of community relations for the village, was on hand to present the prizes to the winners.

Those interested in auditioning should prepare a preferably memorized one to two-minute monologue from a modern play. After the monologues, candidates will do a cold reading from the script.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Try to distract your opponent

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Claude Chabrol, a French film director perhaps best known for “Le Boucher” (the butcher), said, “You make a film to distract people, to interest them, perhaps to make them think, perhaps to help them be a little less naive, a little better than they were.”

At the bridge table, if you can legally distract your opponents, it will probably be to your advantage. How do you do that? By producing unexpected bids or, especially, plays.

Do you see something distracting in this deal? South is in three notrump. West leads his fourth-highest heart. East wins with his ace and returns the heart six. What happens after that?

Note that despite holding 30 combined high-card points, three no-trump seems destined to fail.

Let’s assume South takes the second trick with his heart king and West plays the two to indicate that he started with a five-card suit.

Declarer should cross to the dummy with a club and call for the diamond jack, trying to look like someone about to take a finesse for the queen.

But East should not be distracted.

He should realize that his partner has three heart winners, grab the trick with his ace, and lead his last heart, which results in down one.

At my bridge camp in Highlands, North Caronlina, in June, one player found a great way to distract West. Bill Geary of New Orleans, knowing that he was going to win only one heart trick, dropped his king under East’s ace at trick one!

When East led back the heart six, West should have ducked to keep communication with his partner.

But he distractedly won with his queen and played a third heart. Now Geary drove out the diamond ace and came home with an overtrick.

Terrific!

Dear Abby: I am a 12-year-old girl, and my grandpa is 75. I love him very much, but I have noticed lately that he stares at women’s breasts when they are jogging, and he smiles when a gust of wind blows a girl’s skirt up. This embarrasses me, and I am embarrassed for him. He must have realized it by now.

Is my grandpa a creepy, dirty old man? I hope it’s not true. Please answer this in the newspaper because I don’t want my family to see it. – Carrie in Cleveland Dear Carrie: I’m sorry, but the fact that your grandfather would be so unsubtle as to act this way when you’re with him IS creepy, and I’m sure it is embarrassing.

Tell your parents about it so your mother or father can tell him to tone down his “enthusiasm.” And if it doesn’t happen, spend less time with Grandpa.

Dear Abby: My fiancee, “Caitlyn,” and I are in our 40s and have been living together for a year. My family has invited us to

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips go on a cruise for New Year’s, all expenses paid. Because Caitlyn can’t get time off from her job at the hospital, she doesn’t want me to go, either.

Also, in the fall I will be traveling to Europe with my dad to visit relatives. (He’s 80.) These trips don’t happen all the time; it’s an unusual year.

Should I refuse the cruise and miss out on being with my extended family to stay home with her while she works? I think Caitlyn’s being selfish to expect me to. We spend all our free time together.

We have been to Las Vegas and on a cruise recently. Please advise. – Held Back in Ohio Dear Held Back: You and Caitlyn are adults in your 40s.

At that age, Caitlyn should be independent enough to tell you to go and have a good time with

your family. And you should be mature enough to discuss this with her without involving me.

Dear Abby: My sister loaned me her car when she went out of town so I could drop her at the airport and pick her up. (I don’t have a car of my own, but share one with my husband.) While I was driving her car, one of the tires blew. She says I should pay for the replacement tire because I was driving the car on an errand that was unrelated to picking her up when the tire blew. I disagree. Who is right? –Jennifer in Florida Dear Jennifer: If the agreement between you and your sister was that her car was to be used only to take her to the airport and pick her up, then you owe her a new tire. However, if her tires were so worn that they could cause an accident, then she should replace her own tire – and the other three as well.

Dear Reader: A bunion occurs when two bones in your foot no longer line up properly. Normally, a bone in the foot lines up straight with the first bone in your big toe. With a bunion, the joint where those two bones meet no longer is straight. Instead, there’s knobby bone bulging outward at the base of your big toe. And the big toe itself turns inward, bending toward, or even under, the other toes. As a result, the knobby bone at the base of your big toe points outward.

Bunions are a common cause of painful toes. One cause of bunions is thought to be years of wearing shoes that squeeze the toes into pointed or narrow toe boxes, forcing the toes to fold over one another. Since women wear such shoes, and since bunions are more common in women than men, that seems reasonable.

On the other hand, plenty of my female patients wear shoes that should torture their toes – but they don’t all get bunions.

And some of my male patients

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff have bunions. There’s also pretty good evidence that bunions run in families. So I doubt we really know all the causes of bunions.

Over time, a bunion can become extremely painful. You can relieve the pain by padding the bunion with felt, moleskin or a doughnut-shaped pad. Hot and cold compresses may help. Or try stretching the bunion area of your shoe with a shoe stretcher.

Orthotic shoe inserts can redistribute your weight so the bunion doesn’t constantly rub against your shoe. NSAID pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve) can also help relieve pain and inflammation. If these steps don’t work, surgery can restore your toe to its normal position. The surgery is a safe procedure, but you can’t walk on the foot for several weeks, so your mobility is affected. You need crutches or other devices to walk, and using stairs is tricky.

While surgery doesn’t always relieve all the symptoms, patients are generally happy with the result. If you decide to undergo surgery, the specific procedure will depend on the severity of your condition. To treat a mild bunion, for example, the surgeon might shave the enlarged portion of the bone before realigning nearby muscles, tendons and ligaments.

To correct severe bunions, the surgeon must cut and then realign a portion of the displaced bone in the toe. Pins, screws or plates will keep the bone in position. (I’ve put an illustration of the toe before and after this procedure on my website, AskDoctorK. com.)

To prevent bunions from developing, or to prevent an existing bunion from getting worse, wear shoes with roomy toe boxes.

While shoes may not be the sole cause of bunions, they can aggravate the condition.

Dr. Wallace: I’m an average teenager. I get above-average grades and do my share of work around the house.

I don’t have specific chores, but I help my mom and dad whenever they need it. I’m an only child and, luckily, our family doesn’t have any serious communication problems. Everything at home was running smoothly – no real teen-parent problems.

Then one day my dad reads some article in a magazine written by an “expert” on teen behavior who advises parents to use a weekly “points system. The teen has to earn 25 points from Saturday morning to the following Sunday morning, and if the teen fails to reach the number, he is punished according to his earned credits.

I agreed to go on the point system only after a rather heated argument, which my father won.

The first week I earned 20 points. Since I was short 5 points, I had my allowance cut from $10 to $5. The next week I earned 21 points, which meant I had a 10 p.m. curfew on Saturday night. This really hurt because I had a big date planned with my girlfriend. Her older sister got married that day and the reception was from 6:30 to midnight, but I had to leave at 9:45 p.m. to be home on time. (My girlfriend stayed.) If I had been late, I would have had 10 points deducted from next week’s total. Things used to be great at home, but I’m a very unhappy camper now. – Nameless, Portland, Oregon Dear Nameless: Family rules are necessary to maintain harmony and teach young people responsibility. Since the original rules seemed

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace to be working perfectly well in your household, I see no reason why your father decided to change them. You have a legitimate reason to be upset.

I hope he reconsiders after you show him this response.

Dr. Wallace: How safe are condoms in avoiding pregnancy and avoiding sexually transmitted diseases? – Nameless, Batavia, Illinois Dear Nameless:: A certified school nurse contacted me to share with our teen readers who were sexually active that condoms have about a 13 percent failure rate in preventing pregnancy and are even less effective for preventing sexually transmitted diseases. The nurse cautioned that condoms can break and, if not used correctly, can fail.

I agree that condoms must be used by teens who choose to become sexually active, but latex condoms should be used, not natural membrane condoms. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laboratory studies show that latex condoms provide a continuous barrier to microorganisms as well as sperm. Natural membrane condoms cannot make this claim.

Teens who become sexually active are living dangerously. Mother Nature makes it very easy for a female to become pregnant during sexual contact, regardless of the protection used. Sexual abstinence never fails to provide peace of mind.

“Sin City: A Dame to Kill For” is directed by Robert Rodriguez and Frank Miller. It is rated R.

‘Sin City: A Dame to Kill For’ worth wait

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now “Sin City,” the groundbreaking, eye-popping, green screen-filled adaptation of Frank Miller’s comic books, was released in 2005. A sequel was announced almost immediately. It’s been a long time between that announcement and this new film, which is neither a prequel nor a sequel ... or maybe it’s both a prequel and a sequel. That part doesn’t matter; what matters is that it was worth the wait.

It’s great being back in Basin City, with its bizarre characters and quease-inducing situations. It likely won’t be great for anyone who hasn’t seen the first film, as many references to it are made. And it’s a bad idea for anyone who did see the first one and was completely turned off by its unflinching celebration of unspeakable violence, because that factor is upped here by about tenfold.

Most of the characters are back, though a few are played by different actors.

Not to worry, big Mickey

Rourke returns as big-hearted, extremely dangerous, and often confused Marv; Powers Booth is slimier than ever as power-crazed Senator Roark; and Jessica Alba proves she still knows how to pole dance as Nancy. But Josh Brolin has taken over Clive Owen’s role as Dwight; Dennis Haysbert now has the late Michael Clarke Duncan’s part of golden-eyed, pain-inflicting Manute (and we learn, in gruesome detail, how that golden eye came to be); and Jamie Chung has replaced Devon Aoki as “deadly little” Miho.

There are new characters to meet, the two most intriguing among them being slick and cool Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), who comes to town with intentions of winning at the casino, and Ava (Eva Green, an actress who seems to very much enjoy parading around naked), the green-eyed, crimson-lipped dame of the title.

Different stories come spinning out of this movie like tires in its high-speed car chases. Some of them stand

alone, while others intertwine with each other. There are less rules in the telling of these stories than there are in lawless “Basin City.”

But there are certainly follow-through lines. For instance, like its predecessor, there is visual dazzle from frame one. The film is mostly in the starkest of black & white, with piercing spots of color that know just where to exist – such as Ava’s eyes and lips. Robert Rodriguez, who produced, directed, edited, photographed (and, hell, even wrote some of the music), makes the whites of people’s eyes glow brightly.

And while plenty of folks will be in the audience just because they like the look of the film, an equal number will be there for its audacity.

That previously mentioned violence, much of it done with guns and swords and fists and (watch out!) pliers, is fast and brutal. Same goes for the presentation of sex.

There are rugged fistfights, lots of backstabbing (both physical and emotional), decapitations galore, and a

steady diet of people crashing through windows – sometimes of their own free will, sometimes because they’re thrown.

If you actually need a story to go with all of this, oh, there are stories. Once again, it would be a good idea to know what happened in the first film before experiencing this one. That would make it a lot easier to understand why Dwight is trying so hard to forget so many of his bad memories, and would make it crystal clear why Nancy has revenge on her mind.

But there are plenty of fans who will be satisfied by witnessing the film’s generous amount of heavy drinking, or maybe its visits with the scantily clad, weapon-toting women of Old Town, or its suggestions that both lust and power have the ability to drive men mad.

Me? I rather enjoyed the outrageously cartoonish violence and the snappy, hardboiled dialogue, such as when an annoyed Dwight says to Ava, “I was born at night, but not last night.”
