Electoral board throws out Joliet for Eight referendum Petitions deemed short on signatures

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The City Electoral Board on Thursday rejected a petition to place the Joliet for Eight Districts referendum on the November ballot.

Board members determined organizers did not collect enough valid signatures to certify the measure.

The decision, in part, boiled down to whether the board should follow state election law requiring 2,685 signatures or municipal law requiring 1,547 signatures.

City Councilman-At-Large Mike Turk, who motioned to uphold objector Sarah Andreano’s request to keep the measure off the ballot, said that by any count it appeared the petitioners had not collected enough signatures.

“I think that it’s been established through this hearing that we have to follow the election law and not the municipal code,” Turk said, noting that the 1,465 signatures deemed valid by City Attorney Jeff Plyman fell short of both thresholds.

Attorneys for both sides sent briefs to Turk and the board’s other two members, Mayor Tom Giarrante and City Clerk Christa Desiderio, well into the night Wednesday.

Much of the argument cen-

“If you don’t know the number, how do you know which number to go for?”

The Rev. Craig Purchase Concerned Citizens of Joliet tered on the fact that the number of signatures required by state law could only be estimated based on numbers provided by the Will and Kendall county clerks, while the municipal code figure was a precise number.

On Thursday, Plyman introduced a third mathematical formula to produce a number he said was fair to both sides.

By subtracting the number of registered voters from outside of Joliet from the total number of votes cast, Plyman said he determined a minimum of 27,220 Joliet residents voted in the 2010 election. Based on state election law, petitioners would need 2,178 signatures for certification, Plyman said.

Desiderio noted that even under Plyman’s reckoning, the petitioners fell short of the required number of signatures.

Bryan Kopman, a Joliet attorney representing Andreano, said the board showed courage in its decision.

“I think this was not an easy

decision for the board because they faced a lot of political pressure,” Kopman said. “I give them credit for making the correct decision to follow the law.”

Members of Concerned Citizens of Joliet, the grassroots group that has pushed for the referendum since early this spring, said they were unsure whether they would appeal the board’s decision to the courts.

Thursday was the Will County Clerk’s deadline to receive the measure so it could be placed on the November ballot.

The Rev. Craig Purchase, Mount Zion Full Baptist Church pastor and one of the group’s organizers, criticized the board for not establishing the threshold number needed until the final day.

Purchase claimed neither the county nor city clerks’ offices could provide the number when approached by Concerned Citizens last November.

He likened the process to playing a basketball game of 21, and suddenly finding out you needed 23 points to win.

“If you don’t know the number, how do you know which number to go for?” Purchase said.

Organizer Maria Aracelia Rosas said the group likely will try to get the issue placed on the April 2015 ballot. The petition deadline for that election is Jan. 7, she said.

Services set for third-grader BOLINGBROOK – Visitation and services to celebrate the life of 8-year-old Tremann L. Ware Jr. will take place Friday at Living Water Community Church, 190 Lily Cache Lane in Bolingbrook.

Tremann, a third-grader at Wood View Elementary School in Bolingbrook, died suddenly

Masked men shoot victim in the head JOLIET – A 40-year-old man is expected to survive after being shot in the back of the head Wednesday night.

Joliet Police Lt. Brian Dupuis said the victim was sitting in a car in a driveway in the 1200 block of Oneida Street at 8:50 p.m. when two black males with cloths over their faces fired a handgun into the vehicle.

The victim, who was struck once in the back of the head, was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Hospital for treatment. He is expected to make a full recovery, Dupuis said.

Dupuis said police still are investigating the incident and further details are not expected for at least a couple days. A projectile was recovered from the scene, he said.

Fans love high school football

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com They say that in the spring a young person’s fancy turns to thoughts of love.

That’s probably because fall is reserved for football.

Fans will swarm area stadiums tonight for the kickoff of the 2014 Illinois High School Association football season.

It’s business as usual in Will County, which arguably has produced more championship teams than any other area in the state.

The fan fervor is apparent at Joliet Catholic Academy, which has won a record 13 state titles.

Jim Boucher, who played on JCA’s first and second championship teams in 1975 and 1976, will be at Joliet Memorial Stadium for Friday night’s opener against arch rival Providence Catholic.

“We’ve been going forever,” Boucher said. “As young kids, we went to watch my older cousins. My dad was in the first game ever played at Memorial Stadium.”

Boucher and his brother have returned each year since graduating to cheer on the Hilltoppers. It’s all part of a school tradition that crosses generations.

“Neither of us have kids, but we keep going,” Boucher said. “We see friends’ kids coming up and going through the system. They start out as ball boys and became players themselves. Now they’re the guys who show up to watch the games from the bleachers.”

At the other end of the spectrum is Joliet Central, which

Yet despite the school’s 0-36 record, fans are excited about the upcoming season.

“The place is going to go nuts when Central wins Friday night,” predicted Glen Marcum, president of the JTHS Booster Club.

“At West and Central we’re football nuts, too,” said Marcum, a 1978 Central graduate.

“They struggle, but the students, bands, parents and alums still get into it. It’s as much a tradition here as it is at JCA and Providence.”

Fandom is a learned experience, Marcum noted, passed down from generation to gen-

eration.

“You see kids 5 or 6 years old out at the games, and they worship these players,” Marcum said. “They don’t care if they win or lose. And then they go on to become players themselves. These kids learn at a young age that it’s tradition to go to the games on Friday or Saturday.”

Many schools now take an active part in organizing their

student fans.

Lisa Simon, a teacher and coach at Plainfield East, is the leader of Orange Crush, the school’s 150-member spirit team.

“We do cheers and have themes throughout the season,” Simon said, such as Hawaiian Night, Cowboy Night and other nights based on wearing the various school colors.

The team was voted winner of Comcast’s Battle of the Fans Madness tournament in 2012 and as a runner-up in 2013.

“I think it gives them a sense of identity and it helps keep morale up,” Simon said.

Plainfield East went 6-3 in 2013, but is expecting to break

out this year, its seventh season, she said. Fan participation will be a big part of that effort.

“Our athletes tell us, ‘We perform better when we know our peers are out there cheering for us,’ ” Simon said.

But some fans just come on their own, for the love of the game.

Aaron Marks, a 2012 Lincoln-Way grad, tries to attend one game a week, no matter whether it’s at Central, East, West or North.

Marks said he likes sitting with the freshmen and keeping them motivated during the varsity games.

“I enjoy seeing my friends and cheering on my school,” Marks said.

OUR ATHLETES TELL US, ‘WE PERFORM BETTER WHEN WE KNOW OUR PEERS ARE OUT THERE CHEERING FOR US.’ ” Lisa Simon, Plainfield East teacher and spirit team leader

Rob Winner file photo – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Vehicles involved in a fatal accident are seen on Interstate 55 just south of mile marker 243.5 in Channahon Township on July 21. The man accused of causing the crash, Francisco Espinal-Quiroz, has been indicted on 15 counts of reckless homicide, according to the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Trucker in July 21 I-55 crash indicted for reckless homicide

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The truck driver in the Interstate 55 crash that led to five deaths driver now faces more than a dozen charges of reckless homicide.

Francisco Espinal-Quiroz, of Leesburg, Indiana, was indicted Wednesday morning on 15 counts of reckless homicide.

The indictments became public after they were returned Thursday morning.

E s p i nal-Quiroz is accused of causFrancisco Espinal-Quiroz ing the multi-vehicle collision July 21 that led to the deaths of five people, including one child. The collision happened on I-55 in Channahon Township, in the construction zone around the Des Plaines River bridge.

The indictments from the Will County State’s Attorney’s office allege that Espinal-Quiroz was speeding through a construction zone; that he failed to keep a proper lookout for vehicles stopping or slowing in a construction zone; that he failed to decrease his speed when a special hazard

Allegations in the reckless homicide indictment n Speeding through a construction zone n Failing to keep a proper lookout for vehicles stopping or slowing in a construction zone n Failing to decrease speed when a special hazard existed n Having physical conditions that limited the ability to drive safely existed; and that he had physical conditions that limited his ability to drive safely.

One of those physical conditions is a complete loss of vision in his right eye due to a 1984 injury.

Reckless homicide is a Class 2 felony. The defendant could face between six and 28 years in prison if convicted. Espinal-Quiroz was previously indicted for falsifying his logbook and not maintaining the logbook accurately. Both are Class 4 felonies.

Earlier this month, Espinal-Quiroz formally entered a not guilty plea for the earlier charges during an appearance at the Will County Courthouse.

Prosecutors at the time said they would consider additional charges.

Espinal-Quiroz’s attorney, Nicole Sartori, declined to comment Thursday, saying she had not seen the indictments.

Police also cited Espinal-Quiroz the day of the accident for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident. Espinal-Quiroz has a history of traffic violations that date back to 1991 and include three speeding tickets since 2012.

He is being held in lieu of a $1 million bond. His next court appearance is scheduled for 9:30 a.m. Sept. 9.

Those who died on the day of the first collision were Kimberly K. Britton, 43, and Piper Britton, 11, of Urbana; Vicky L. Palaciocs, 54, of Coal City; and Ulrike P. Blopleh, 48, of Channahon. Timothy Osburn, 64, of Urbana, also was involved in the first collision and was pronounced dead Aug. 6.

Two lawsuits have been filed against the driver. Joshua Johnke filed a wrongful death lawsuit earlier this month in Cook County Circuit Court on behalf of his mother, Vicky L. Palacios, 54, who was among the five killed in the July 21 crash.

A second lawsuit was filed Thursday in Will County Circuit Court by Moses Blopleh, the husband of Ulrike Blopleh.

CHANNAHON – The husband of one of the victims in the July 21 crash on Interstate 55 has filed a lawsuit against the truck driver as well as the driver’s company.

Moses Blopleh, the husband of Channahon victim Ulrike Blopleh, filed the lawsuit Thursday with the Will County Circuit Clerk on behalf of his Ulrike P. children, who Blopleh also were in the car and injured in the crash.

Moses Blopleh seeks more than $50,000 in damages from driver Francisco Espinal-Quiroz and his company, Espinal Trucking.

“It was a very hard decision for the family,” said Frank Andreano, a lawyer representing the family.

“These are very difficult times for them. They want to know why [Espinal-Quiroz] was on the road.”

The accident occurred the afternoon of July 21, killing Ulrike Blopleh of Channahon and three other victims that day: Kimberly K. Britton, 43, and Piper Britton, 11, of Urbana; and Vicky L. Palaciocs, 54, of Coal City.

Timothy Osburn, 64, of Urbana, also was involved in the first collision and was pronounced dead Aug. 6.

Police said Espinal-Quiroz was driving a semitrailer on I-55 and switched lanes as cars were stopped due to construction at the Des Plaines

“It was a very hard decision for the family.

These are very difficult times for them. They want to know why [Espinal-Quiroz] was on the road.”

Frank Andreano Blopleh family lawyer River bridge. He hit cars, leading to a chain reaction accident that resulted in the deaths.

Ulrike Blopleh and her two sons were in the passenger seats of a car that her daughter was driving. Her children suffered injuries in the crash.

The lawsuit claims that Espinal-Quiroz was speeding, failed to reduce speed and didn’t safely change lanes.

The lawsuit points out that Espinal-Quiroz appeared to have impaired vision, suggesting he was not fit to operate the truck he was driving.

The suit also claims Espinal-Quiroz drove more hours than allowed by federal law and was exhausted to the point that he was a safety hazard.

The suit is the second civil suit filed against Espinal-Quiroz in relation to the crash. The first was filed earlier this month by Palaciocs’ son.

Also Thursday, upgraded criminal charges were filed against Espinal-Quiroz in Will County Circuit Court.

He was indicted on 15 counts of reckless homicide.

Another executive director ready to take over Plainfield parks

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Township Park District has signed a contract with new Executive Director Carlo Capalbo, board President Mary Kay Ludemann confirmed.

“It’s actually very exciting,” Ludemann said.

“We’re moving forward. Carlo Capalbo is very energetic and we’re excited Carlo he’s coming.”

C a p a l b o Capalbo was unofficially chosen to run the district during a closed meeting July 22 that sparked controversy.

Ludemann gained approval by the board to enter into a contract with Capalbo during an Aug. 13 meeting. But Hurtado and Steinys voted “present,” saying they had no problem with Capalbo, but had concerns with the contract.

Capalbo will become the fifth person in less than two years to run the park district, which has had two executive directors and two interim executive directors. The contract was signed Tuesday.

He will earn $115,000 a year, with options of a 2 to 6 percent raise. He will be reimbursed for on-the-job expenses and have a vehicle allowance of $250 a month.

Along with the standard amount of sick days afforded to all park district employees, Capalbo will have eight personal days and accrue sick days at the rate of one per month. He also will have 15 vacation days a year.

The board will fully pay for Capalbo to attend select parks and recreation-related seminars and programs. He doesn’t need board approval

unless the cost is greater than $2,500. All other conferences will be reimbursed up to a total of $3,500 a year, with no board approval required for events less than $500.

Capalbo also will be reimbursed to attend Illinois Park and Recreation Association Professional Development School sessions because of his position on the Board of Regents. He would not need board approval for classes less than $750.

Termination of Capalbo’s contract for “just cause” would require a board majority plus one commissioner.

Hurtado said he has issues with compensation in the contract.

“I just thought that was way too much,” Hurtado said, adding that the contract for previous Executive Director Garrett Peck included less vacation time.

Capalbo said he looked forward to joining the park district. He starts Sept. 8.

“My biggest goal is not to focus on the past, but look to the future,” he said. “We need to move forward in a positive way to be one of the more respected areas and gain back the public’s trust.”

Capalbo knew about the controversy swirling around the park district over the past year, when a majority of commissioners – Peter Hurtado, Peter Steinys and Janet Silosky – made a number of decisions that led to public demands for resignations and a new law designed to debilitate the majority’s power.

“I want to get completely acclimated with the district and community to take the district in the best possible direction,” Capalbo said.

Thursday was interim Executive Director Richard Grodsky’s last day at the district.

Vallas says tax cut would hurt schools

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor Paul Vallas said Bruce Rauner’s tax plan will cut more than $170 million from Will County schools.

“This is by far the most important issue,” Vallas said.

Vallas came to Joliet and released his analysis on the Republican gubernatorial candidate’s tax plan, which calls for the state tax rate to be sunset and lowered to 3 percent. Gov. Pat Quinn, his Democratic opponent, wants to stay the current tax rate at 5 percent. The legislation regarding the hike, when approved a few years ago, intended the increase to be temporary.

Vallas said the tax cut would create an $8 billion hole in the state’s discretionary fund, of which half usually goes to education.

He listed what the impact could be to every school district in the state. In Will County, the district with the largest loss would be Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202. The district would stand to lose $53 million.

Plainfield 202 Director of Community Relations Tom Hernandez said district officials haven’t confirmed if that figure was accurate, but he said any reduction in revenue of a

0 8/3

large magnitude would hit very hard.

“It took us four years to cut $42 million between 2009-2013,” Hernandez said, adding that it included a careful reduction in staff of 345 positions in the district. “To take a $50 million hit would be devastating.”

Some other school districts that would lose a lot of money include Joliet Public School District 86 at $48.4 million and Valley View School District 365U at $25.7 million.

But Vallas said the hardest hit under Rauner’s tax plan could be the smaller districts, like Elwood Community Consolidated School District 203 that would lose $174,841 under the new plan.

“Those are the districts that are really going to feel the pinch,” he said.

But a response from the Rauner campaign contends that Vallas’ numbers are made up, and that Quinn has a track record of raising taxes and cutting education funding.

“Unlike Pat Quinn whose education cuts led to teacher layoffs and larger class sizes, Bruce will make education a top priority and fully fund our schools,” the emailed response read, adding that the jobs and growth plan will help Illinois recover. “The answer to our long-term problems is to expand Illinois’ economy and invest in the future.”

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com Labor Day weekend is often the last extended break people get before leaves start changing color and the heat gives way to cold.

According to AAA Chicago spokeswoman Beth Mosher, the roads will be crowded. She is advising people to take precautions while going on that last trip of the summer.

While the roads may be crowded, motorists will pay the lowest gas prices since Labor Day 2010. Gas prices are near-

ly 50 cents less a gallon than at the start of the summer driving season.

Labor Day weekend is among the top five busiest travel weekends of the year, Mosher said.

“We’re expecting about 35 million travelers nationwide,” she said. “That’s an increase from last year and the highest number of travelers since the recession in 2008.”

Mosher suggests travelers leave at off-peak hours and avoid rush hours in cities as much as possible. Motorists also should be wary of law en-

forcement conducting extended checks on seat belts, talking on phones and texting.

“Labor Day is really a holiday of backyard barbecues with friends,” Mosher said. “So police will also be checking for drunk drivers. You have the responsibility to take the keys away if someone is thinking of driving drunk.”

From Friday through Tuesday, Illinois State Police will watch for what it calls the “Fatal 4” traffic violations: speeding, driving under the influence, distracted driving and not wearing seat belts.

“Troopers statewide will be enforcing the Fatal 4 traffic laws,” state police Director Hiram Grau said in a news release. “Those motorists who choose to violate the traffic laws could encounter tragic consequences or even face jail time.”

Police also will be on heightened alert for suspicious vehicles and criminal activity.

They also will monitor intelligence from the Statewide Terrorism Intelligence Center.

Gas prices Motorist travelers will

spend significantly less on gas than if they took the same trip at the beginning of the summer.

According to data from GasBuddy.com, the average price of gasoline in Illinois has dropped from about $3.95 a gallon on June 17 to nearly $3.50 per gallon Thursday.

Mosher said gas prices don’t tend to have an influence on travel decisions, but it affects the way people travel.

“They have been the lowest for Labor Day since 2010,” she said. “The residual effect is people go to more places, eat more and spend more money.”

Forest Preserve police to watch for speeding bicyclists lleonecross@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Forest Preserve District of Will County police officers will conduct safety checks over the Labor Day weekend along a stretch of the Hickory Creek Junction Trail in New Lenox.

The safety checks will take place in the wake of two biking accidents – one that resulted in a fatality – along the trail’s western branch in the past month, said Cindy Cain, district spokeswoman.

The goal is to ensure bicyclists abide by the district’s no-speeding rules, Cain said.

Cain said the safety checks will serve as a reminder for bicyclists to travel at safe speeds and slow down when trails are busy. This weekend, district police will issue warnings – not citations – to speeding bicyclists, she said, to “give people a chance to slow down” and to increase safety awareness along the trail.

Trail safety tips n Bicyclists are advised to wear helmets and to travel at reasonable speeds. n Keep pets leashed. n Yield to others when entering, crossing or turning onto trails. n Higher speed users should yield to lower speed users. n Trail users going uphill generally have the right-of-way over users traveling downhill. n Stay to the right of the trail, when possible; do not block the entire trail. n Pass on the left, when safe to do so. n Give a clear warning signal before passing; wait for a response whenever possible. n Remember when using the trails, you are also an ambassador of the activity in which you are participating.

Source: Forest Preserve District of Will County

Bicyclists also are encouraged to wear helmets

and practice other safety etiquette, she said.

The safety checks follow the Aug. 9 death of a Mokena cyclist. Vaidas Varpucanskis, 42, died after swerving to avoid a jogger and passing a cyclist along a stretch of the Hickory Creek Junction Trail in Frankfort.

Varpucanskis, who was not wearing a helmet, fell off his bike and hit the back of his head on the pavement. He lost consciousness and never regained it. Passers-by called 911 and performed CPR before Varpucanskis was taken to Silver Cross Hospital. He was pronounced dead at 11:30 a.m. the same day.

A second incident occurred Sunday, Cain said.

Two bicyclists nearly collided on the trail. One was taken to the hospital with minor injuries, and was treated and released the same day, she said.

Because most of the district’s trails are designed for multi-use – walkers, bicyclists and runners – bicyclists

are supposed to ride at safe speeds and are encouraged to wear helmets, according to the district’s website. Preserve signs also list similar guidelines for all trail users.

“The bottom line is, we want people to enjoy our preserves and to stay safe and to

QUICK NEWS Rabid bat found beneath microwave in Joliet JOLIET – A live bat taken from the 400 block of Harwood in Joliet represents Will County’s fifth confirmed case of wildlife rabies for 2014.

At least one of the three people living on the Harwood property thought they saw a bat in their

It was spotted again the next morning, sheltering beneath a microwave which rested on a kitchen counter, at which point Will County Animal Control was notified and captured the bat.

Rabies was confirmed Aug. 25, and post-exposure rabies treatments were recommended for all three persons living on site.

Will County Animal Control is available for area residents who believe a bat exposure has occurred. Call Animal Control anytime at 815-462-5633.

By FELIX SARVER

Dreamed of flying The Markham resident dreamed of flying at the age of 12 when he lived in Chicago Heights. The dream became a reality when Wilkerson graduated from high school in 1944 and joined the U.S. Army Air Force. He trained in Tuskegee, Alabama.

Wilkerson earned his wings soon after, but never got to fight because World War II ended. He wasn’t disappointed. He just wanted to fly.

“I questioned those who said they wanted to be in the war,” he said. “There are those of us who wanted to fight for our country, but not many people who wanted to get into the war.”

Wilkerson showed a documentary film produced and directed by Jeff Fisher and Cory Hooper to the Lockport Rotarians that detailed the lives and struggles of the Tuskegee Airmen during the war.

Lawton “Wilk” Wilkerson is a native of Chicago Heights and after graduating from Bloom Township High School became member of the Tuskegee Airmen. Wilkerson spoke Thursday to the Lockport Rotary Club about the historic group of pilots during the groups weekly meeting in Lockport.

The film showed how the Tuskegee Airmen helped to prove that black people could perform any duty in the military. They became the catalyst for integration of the armed services.

“Before there was a civil rights movement, the Tuskegee Airmen were the civil rights movement,” said Ken Rapier, Chicago “Dodo” Chapter member, in the film.

However, many after the war – including Wilkerson – wanted to work as commercial airline pilots, but couldn’t because of rampant prejudices against black people at the time. Wilkerson would go on to work as a bus driver, insur-

ance salesman and with NBC radio in Chicago.

Veterans golf outing Sept. 5 After Wilkerson spoke with the Rotarians, Niehaus discussed the third annual veterans golf outing at 9 a.m.

Sept. 5 at the Woodbine Golf Club in Homer Glen. The event honors veterans and is free to all Iraq and Afghanistan veterans who are at least 21 years old.

“At the end of the day, it’s a thank you for your service,” Niehaus said about the outing. “We appreciate what you did. We realize we can’t give you all Rolexes, but you can have a free, fun day of golf.”

FRANKFORT – A fall festival celebrating everyday superheroes will be held Labor Day weekend in Frankfort.

Pre-festival activities for the Frankfort Fall Festival began Wednesday and Thursday with carnival rides, but the festival begins in full on Friday, when the BETA Team entertainment tent opens from 7 to 11 p.m. The carnival opens from 5 to 9:30 p.m.

The Frankfort community will celebrate the festival’s 46th anniversary this year.

It typically attracts 300,000 visitors, 300 artisans and 30 civic organizations, according to the Frankfort Chamber of Commerce, which coordinates the event.

The celebration is a labor of love for volunteers who help make it a reality, said Karen Blake, the chamber’s executive director.

“All of our collaborating partners really embrace the fact we bring 300,000 guests to town over Labor Day weekend,” she said. “We want to show them it’s a beautiful community, not only for this weekend, but that they can come back all year around.

It’s a beautiful place to work, live and play.”

The festival’s BETA Team Entertainment tent will host rock, bluegrass and popular music throughout the weekend. The tent will also offer beer and food. Acoustic, instrumental jazz, rock, bluegrass and Dixieland acts

n WHAT: Frankfort Fall Festival 2014 n WHEN: Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday n WHERE: Downtown Frankfort n FOR INFORMATION: Visit frankfortfallfestival.info or call 815-469-2177 ext. 281 will perform at the Breidert Green Stage in downtown Frankfort.

Restaurants and civic groups offering food at the festival include Aurelio’s Pizza, the Frankfort Area Historical Society, Frankfort Area Jaycees, Frankfort Kiwanis Club, Lincoln-Way Music Boosters and others.

The festival’s theme this year is Everyday Superheroes, chosen by festival chairman Keith Ogle, village clerk and a chamber director. He chose the theme not only because of his love for comic book superheroes, but to honor volunteers and parents in the greater Frankfort community.

“I’ve always been impressed by how much time and talent people give away very freely out here to make the community better,” he said. “I look at them as everyday superheroes. They make a lot of sacrifices.”

A parade will take place at 1 p.m. Sunday. All parade participants are encouraged to draw inspiration for their float designs from their favorite TV and comic book superhero movies.

LOCKPORT – Oscar Lawton Wilkerson earned the chance to train as a military pilot during World War II, a rarity for black men in those days.

Wilkerson, 88, also known as “Wilk,” didn’t join his Tuskegee Airmen comrades in combat when he finally earned his wings. Those pilots would become legends for their wartime accomplishments, disproving prejudices about black men in the military.

But Wilkerson experienced the same limitations imposed on those pilots during the war and after it. He shared those experiences Thursday with the Lockport Rotary Club.

He was there with Gary Niehaus, chairman of the Lockport Veterans Commission, who also told the Rotarians of a veterans golf outing this September.

“I’m not here planning to be the guy who made the legend; I’m trying to help perpetuate it,” Wilkerson said.

U of I plans to boost cell reception at stadium

CHAMPAIGN – University of Illinois officials plan to make it easier for sports fans to use cellphones at Memorial Stadium.

The university hopes to boost cell reception and add highspeed capacity this season, followed by a more permanent digital antenna system next year, the News-Gazette reported.

The Division of Intercollegiate Athletics also wants to eventually provide Internet access to Illini fans at the stadium.

The goal is to allow people to post on social media, stream video and order food on their electronic devices in a way that doesn’t consume data plans or overload networks.

The plans follow upgrades made by many collegiate teams throughout the country, including Nebraska, Wisconsin, Penn State, Texas Christian and Stanford universities. Professional teams, such as the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos, Carolina Panthers, New York Yankees and Minnesota Twins, also have added wireless access to their stadiums.

The University of Illinois, home to one of the top-ranked engineering and computer-science departments, wants to join the pack sooner rather than later with what it sees as an obvious addition.

The university is beginning a three-year, $8 million project to extend wireless service throughout every academic space, but it doesn’t include Memorial Stadium and State Farm Center.

Chicago schools getting $10M for Safe Passage

CHICAGO – A school safety program beefed up after dozens of Chicago schools were closed

AP photo

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner answers questions Thursday during the Metropolitan Planning Council’s Annual Luncheon in Chicago. Rauner and his opponent, Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn appeared separately before the group for 25 minute moderated Q&A sessions.

last year will get a $10 million infusion from the state of Illinois for further expansion, Gov. Pat Quinn announced Thursday.

Chicago Public Schools, the nation’s third-largest district, started the Safe Passage program in 2009 after concerns rose about the safety of students traveling to and from schools in city neighborhoods. It was expanded last year after the district closed dozens of schools and parents and community groups feared for children’s safety, including concerns about students having to cross gang lines to attend school.

The program puts trained employees on school routes. The workers can alert police if there’s a threat.

“As we kick-off a new school year, all students should be focused on their studies – not on their safety – as they walk to and from school,” Quinn said in a statement.

The money, from the Illinois Department of Commerce and

Economic Opportunity, comes from proceeds through a state program issuing bonds for capital projects backed with state sales tax revenue.

The idea is to increase Safe Passage routes to the 93 schools already in the program and add 27 new schools, officials said. The additional money is expected to give 600 people jobs.

14 Chicago-area suspects face federal gun charges

CHICAGO – Authorities have charged 14 people in the Chicago area on federal gun charges and seized about 100 guns.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago said in a Wednesday statement that federal, state and city law enforcement participated in the investigation that led to an array of charges, including being a felon-in-possession of a firearm.

U.S. Attorney Zachary Fardon hailed the gun seizures. He says

“every gun we take out of the hands of individuals who allegedly possess and sell them ... helps reduce the risk of violent crimes.”

Oil industry donating to Bruce Rauner’s campaign

SPRINGFIELD – Oil producers, drilling companies and geologists frustrated with the slow process of implementing rules for high-volume oil and gas drilling are putting their money behind Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner.

The Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises reported that the Winnetka businessman received nearly $240,000 from oil company officials looking to get the process up and running during a July 9 fundraiser in Mt. Vernon.

Most of those funds come from companies who want the permit process to be up and running as soon as possible.

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation last year which

authorized the process commonly known as fracking, which uses a high-pressure mixture of water, sand and chemicals to crack and hold open thick rock formations, releasing trapped oil and gas.

But the Department of Natural Resources has spent months holding hearings and gathering more than 30,000 comments on the best way to regulate the drilling method.

Mount Vernon-based oil producer Nelson Wood co-hosted the July 9 fundraiser.

He said the state is being “held back” from an economic surge that oil booms have created in other states.

“We have the potential for the same thing to happen in Illinois,” Wood said, adding “some people have already left.”

The flood of donations to Rauner from fracking industry officials come as the Department of Natural Resources is expected to submit proposed fracking rules to the Illinois Legislature’s Joint Committee on Administrative Rules Friday.

The 12-member panel has 45 days to sign off on the suggested rules, change them or prohibit their filing.

The department faces a Nov. 15 deadline for the rules to be established.

DNR: $1 licenses for Illinois seniors not ready

CRYSTAL LAKE – The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says a system offering hunting and fishing licenses at a reduced price is not yet ready.

The Northwest Herald reported the department will refund people who have already purchased the cheaper licenses.

Spokesman Chris Young said the system should be completed by the beginning of October.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed a bill in August allowing Illinois residents ages 75 and over to buy the recreational licenses at a reduced cost of $1, and some stamps at no cost.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Gun tourism grows in popularity in recent years LAS VEGAS – The death of an Arizona firearms instructor by a 9-year-old girl who was firing a fully automatic Uzi displayed a tragic side of what has become a hot industry in the U.S.: gun tourism.

With gun laws keeping high-powered weapons out of reach for most people – especially those outside the U.S. – indoor shooting ranges with high-powered weapons have become a popular attraction.

Tourists from Japan flock to ranges in Waikiki, Hawaii, and the dozen or so that have cropped up in Las Vegas offer bullet-riddled bachelor parties and literal shotgun weddings, where newly married couples can fire submachine gun rounds and pose with Uzis and ammo belts.

“People just want to experience things they can’t experience elsewhere,” said Genghis Cohen, owner of Machine Guns Vegas.

U.N.: Ebola caseload could reach 20,000 GENEVA – The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is accelerating and could grow six times larger to infect as many as 20,000 people, the World Health Organization said Thursday. The U.N. health agency unveiled a new road map for containing the virus, and scientists are fast-tracking efforts to find a treatment or vaccine.

Ebola has menaced Africa for 40 years, but previously struck in remote villages and was con-

tained fairly quickly. This time, it has spread to major cities in four countries, provoking unrest as whole neighborhoods and towns have been sealed to the outside.

An experimental vaccine developed by the U.S. government and GlaxoSmithKline will be tested on humans starting next week, the U.S. National Institutes of Health announced Thursday.

Preliminary results on the vaccine’s safety – not its effectiveness – could be available in months.

Testimony wraps up in former Va. governor trial RICHMOND, Va. – An FBI agent testified Thursday that former Gov. Bob McDonnell and his wife spent many nights together in the governor’s mansion, a final effort to undercut the defense argument that the couple’s failing marriage made a conspiracy implausible.

The agent was the final witness jurors heard from in the McDonnells’ public corruption trial. They will return Friday morning for closing arguments before beginning deliberations on 14 charges punishable by up to decades in prison and millions of dollars in fines.

McDonnell spent more than four days on the witness stand proclaiming his innocence and describing how his marriage deteriorated as he climbed the political ladder. The defense claims the marriage was so strained that the McDonnells could not have pulled off a criminal conspiracy.

Visual search to shop: gimmick or game changing?

By MAE ANDERSON The Associated Press NEW YORK – Imagine using your phone to snap a photo of the cool pair of sunglasses your friend is wearing and instantly receiving a slew of information about the shades along with a link to order them.

It’s a great idea – but it doesn’t quite work.

Though many companies are trying to make “visual search” a reality, this seemingly simple notion remains elusive.

Take Amazon, which made visual search a key feature in its new Fire smartphone. The e-commerce company says the feature, known as Firefly, can recognize 100 million items.

It’s similar to a Flow feature Amazon has on its apps for other phones.

So far, Firefly can reliably make out labels of products such as Altoids or Celestial Seasonings tea. That makes it easy to buy items such as groceries online.

But try it on a checkered shirt or anything without sharp corners, and no such luck.

“It works really well when we can match an image to the product catalog,” says Mike Torres, an Amazon executive who works on the Fire’s software. “Where things are rounded or don’t have [visual markers] to latch on to, like a black shoe, it’s a little harder to do image recognition.”

Visual search is important to retailers because it makes mobile shopping a snap – literally.

It’s much easier to take a picture than to type in a description of something you want. Shopping on cellphones and tablets is still a small part of retail sales, but it’s growing quickly. That makes it important to simplify the process as much as possible – especially as people look to visual sites such as Instagram and Pinter-

“Retailers are trying to get the user experience simple enough so people are willing to buy on their phones, not just use it as a research tool,” eMarketer analyst Yory Wurmser said.

Mobile software that scans codes, such as QR codes and UPC symbols, are fairly common. Creating apps that consistently recognize images and objects has been more challenging. Forrester analyst Sucharita Mulpuru believes it could take at least three more years.

Since 2009, Google’s Goggles app for Android has succeeded in picking up logos and landmarks. But Google says on its website that the app is “not so good” at identifying cars, furniture and clothes in photos.

What’s holding visual search back?

The technology works by analyzing visual characteristics, or points, such as color, shape and texture. Amazon’s

Firefly, for example, uses a few hundred points to identify a book and up to 1,000 for paintings. U.K. startup Cortexica uses 800 to 1,500 points to create a virtual fingerprint for the image. It then scans its database of about 4 million images for a match.

Without easily identifiable markers, non-labeled objects are difficult to identify. Lighting conditions, photo quality, distance, angles and other factors can throw the technology off. Visual search works best when there is a clearly defined image on a white background.

Some retailers are finding success with visual search by keeping the selection of searchable products limited.

Target’s new “In a Snap” app works only with items from its Room Essentials line.

And it works only when snapping a product image in a magazine ad, not when you see the actual product on a shelf.

When a shopper scans the ad, items pop up for the shopper to add to a shopping cart.

BOSTON – As Arthur T. Demoulas made a triumphant return Thursday to lead the Market Basket supermarket chain, it was the words of his employees that summed up their fierce loyalty to him that led to a remarkable workers’ revolt that nearly crippled the New England chain but eventually put him back on top.

Arthur T. “We did it Demoulas for you,” one employee yelled back at Demoulas as he addressed a crowd of supporters outside the company’s headquarters. “We love you,” shouted another.

It was a moment few thought would happen six weeks ago, when employees walked off their jobs after Demoulas was fired. Not only did the workers stick together, but customers soon followed by boycotting the stores in solidarity.

Late Wednesday, after weeks of pressure, the company announced an agreement had been reached for Demoulas to pay $1.5 billion for the 50.5 percent of the company owned by his cousin and rival, Arthur S. Demoulas, and other family members.

Workers and customers celebrated Thursday at a rally outside the chain’s Tewksbury headquarters, where Arthur T.

Demoulas, speaking from the back of a truck, told them, “I am in awe of what you have all accomplished.”

Demoulas, 59, was fired in June by a board controlled by Arthur S. Demoulas. To protest, hundreds of warehouse workers and drivers refused to deliver fresh produce to the chain’s 71 stores, leaving shelves depleted.

Customers soon began shopping elsewhere, some because they could not find fresh food at Market Basket, but others stayed away in a concerted show of support for the workers and Arthur T. Demoulas.

The usually crowded stores turned into ghost towns, with only a trickle of customers.

Employees said it was their allegiance to Demoulas that kept them united.

Demoulas is beloved by the workers not only for offering generous benefits – including a profit-sharing plan – but also for stopping to talk to workers, remembering birthdays and attending funerals of employees’ relatives.

“He’ll walk into a warehouse and will stop and talk to everyone because he’s genuinely concerned about them,” said Joe Schmidt, a store operations supervisor. “He cares about families, he asks about your career goals, he will walk up to part-timers and ask them about themselves. To him, that cashier and that bagger are just important as the supervisors and the store management team.”

20 Jihadists Ukraine accuses Russia of sending in tanks, armor The Associated Press kill dozens of captured Syrian soldiers

By ZEINA KARAM and RYAN LUCAS The Associated Press BEIRUT – The Islamic State group killed more than 160 Syrian government troops seized in recent fighting, posting pictures Thursday of terrified young conscripts stripped down to their underwear before meeting their deaths in the arid Syrian countryside.

The slayings were the latest massacre attributed to the extremist group, which has terrorized rivals and civilians alike with widely publicized brutality in Syria and Iraq as it seeks to expand a proto-state it has carved out on both sides of the border.

In southern Syria, meanwhile, gunmen detained 43 U.N. peacekeepers during fighting on the Syrian side of the Golan Heights, the United Nations said. It added that another 81 peacekeepers were trapped in the area by heavy clashes between rebels and Syrian troops.

The killing of Syrian soldiers is part of a stepped up campaign

by Islamic State militants targeting President Bashar Assad’s forces. Until recently, the group had been focused on eliminating rivals among the rebels fighting to topple him, systematically routing Western-backed opposition fighters and other Islamic factions from towns and villages in northern and eastern Syria as it expands.

More recently, the jihadists have turned their attention to Assad’s forces, seizing a series of military bases in northeastern Raqqa province. In the process, they have killed hundreds of pro-government forces, beheading some and later displaying their severed heads on poles and fences and posting the pictures online.

Most of the dozens killed over the past 24 hours were rounded up Wednesday near the Tabqa airfield three days after Islamic State fighters seized the base.

The government troops were among a large group of soldiers from the base who were stuck behind front lines after it fell to the jihadi fighters.

NOVOAZOVSK, Ukraine – Ukraine accused Russia on Thursday of entering its territory with tanks, artillery and troops, and Western powers said Moscow had “outright lied” about its role and dangerously escalated the conflict.

Russia dismissed the allegations, describing the fighters there as “Russian volunteers.” The Kremlin has repeatedly denied arming and supporting the separatists who have been fighting Ukrainian troops for four months in the gravest crisis between Russia and the West since the end of the Cold War. NATO said at least 1,000 Russian troops are in Ukraine and later released what it said were satellite photos of Russian self-propelled artillery units moving last week.

Two columns of tanks and other equipment entered southeastern Ukraine at midday, following heavy shelling of the area from Russia that forced overmatched Ukrainian border guards to flee, said Col. Andriy Lysenko, a spokesman for Ukraine’s national security council.

“Russian forces have entered Ukraine,” President Petro Poroshenko said in Kiev, canceling a foreign trip and

Ukrainian forces guard a checkpoint Thursday in the town of Mariupol, eastern Ukraine. Ukraine’s president Petro Poroshenko called an emergency meeting of the nation’s security council and canceled a foreign trip Thursday, declaring that “Russian forces have entered Ukraine,” as concerns grew about the opening of a new front in the conflict. calling an emergency meeting of his security council.

He urged Ukrainians to remain calm.

“Destabilization of the situation and panic, this is as much of a weapon of the enemy as tanks,” Poroshenko told the council.

President Barack Obama spoke with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and both leaders agreed Russia must face consequences for its actions.

“We agree – if there was ever any doubt – that Russia is responsible for the violence in eastern Ukraine,” Obama said. “The violence is encouraged by Russia. The separatists are trained by Russia, they are armed by Russia, they are funded by Russia.”

He added Russia “has deliberately and repeatedly violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and the new images of Russian forces inside Ukraine

make that plain for the world to see.”

But Obama ruled out a military confrontation between the U.S. and Russia. He said Russia’s activity in Ukraine would incur “more costs and consequences,” though these seemed to be limited to economic pressure that will be discussed when Obama meets with European leaders at a NATO summit in Wales next week.

At an emergency session of the U.N. Security Council, Western representatives expressed outrage.

“Now we see irrefutable evidence of regular Russian forces operating inside Ukraine,” said British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant.

U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power said Russia “has manipulated. It has obfuscated. It has outright lied.”

Russian Ambassador Vitaly Churkin offered a spirited defense, saying Kiev “is waging war against its own people.”

He did deny not the Russian presence, saying “there are Russian volunteers in eastern parts of Ukraine. No one is hiding that.”

But Power countered: “A Russian soldier who chooses to fight in Ukraine on summer break is still a Russian soldier.”

Attempt to call missing jet may alter search area

By ROD McGUIRK The Associated Press CANBERRA, Australia – Shortly after the missing Malaysian airliner disappeared from radar, airline officials on the ground tried repeatedly to call the crew of the Boeing 777 using a satellite phone that might have left clues to the jet’s flight path.

Now an analysis of those failed attempts to reach Flight 370 could alter the search for the plane.

Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss said Thursday that the sprawling search area in the southern Indian Ocean may be extended farther south based on the new analysis, which suggests that the aircraft turned that direction earlier than previously believed.

Investigators have long been aware of the calls but only recently developed methods to analyze the phone data for hints about the plane’s final hours. It was through a similar analysis of satellite data from the plane’s jet engine transmitters that investigators were able to define the current search area.

The jetliner disappeared March 8 after veering off its northerly course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and has become one of aviation’s biggest mysteries. It is thought to have crashed 1,100 miles off Australia’s west coast, but no trace of the aircraft or the 239 people aboard has been found.

Australian Transport Safety Bureau Chief Commissioner Martin Dolan said he would meet with international experts next week to decide

whether the 23,000-square mile targeted search area should be extended or shifted south.

Malaysia Airlines ground staff tried twice to call the crew.

The new analysis applies to satellite data from the first call.

By the time the calls were attempted, the plane had become invisible to civilian radar and gone silent. It flew west past Sumatra and beyond the range of Malaysian military radar.

The analysis suggested the jet was already flying south when the first phone call was attempted, less than 20 minutes after the plane dropped off military radar.

“We’re now more confident that it turned comparatively early. That does make a difference to how we prioritize the search along the seventh arc,” Dolan said, referring to the broad area where investigators

believe the flight ran out of fuel and crashed, based on the last ping from the engine transmitters.

With the hunt for the airliner set to resume in a few weeks, investigators are attempting to calculate which parts of the search area should be examined first.

The analysis adds weight to a crash-investigation report issued in June by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau in which most modeling of the plane’s potential flight paths factored in a relatively early turn to a southerly course.

The current search area covers a swath of ocean 435 miles long and 50 miles wide.

An initial search of 330 square miles of seabed to the north ended with officials concluding that they were focusing their efforts in the wrong place.

Thumbs-up to the start of prep sports The Herald-News Editorial Board offers this week’s thumbs-up and thumbs-down: Thumbs-up: to the start of prep sports season. Sports have a way of bringing communities together, as students, faculty parents and the community at large come together to cheer on their team. We wish all local student athletes the best as they take to the field with their school’s name on their jerseys. We’d be remiss if we didn’t also wish the Joliet Junior College, Lewis University and University of St. Francis teams good luck: We hope there’s much to celebrate at the local college’s fields, as well.

Thumbs-down: to unnecessarily complicated election laws that make it difficult for ordinary citizens to get on the ballot. We saw it again this week when two sides made complicated legal arguments on why a referendum to restructure the city council should or should not get on the November ballot. Arguments focused on different interpretations of election laws – one state, one municipal.

It shouldn’t be this hard or confusing to participate in democracy.

Thumbs-up: to Mark Fleming of Minooka for his dedication to providing valuable life experiences for kids. A former foster parent, Fleming is the director of the Joliet chapter of the Royal Family Kids Camp, which gives children in foster care a Christian-based week of summer activities with supervision from counselors that are sensitive to their history of abuse and/or neglect. Not only do these kids enjoy a week of fun, they are treated like little kings and queens, in the hopes they leave feeling special and cherished.

Thumbs-up: to honoring Robert Rogina, a man who dedicated his life to making Joliet a better place. On Wednesday, to honor his legacy, his name was ceremoniously affixed on a city street sign. The sign, “Robert ‘Bob’ Rogina Way,” is located at the corner of Van Buren and Chicago streets near the Rialto Square Theatre. It was a fitting tribute, according to John Greuling, president and chief executive of the Center for Economic Development, because Rogina “built things, designed things, made things happen.”

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

The price of being on top The NFL preseason still has a few days left. The 2016 presidential preseason still has a few months left – for every candidate but Hillary Rodham Clinton.

For Clinton, familiar to Americans as first lady, senator from New York and secretary of state, there is no preseason.

She’s been at the center of American attention for almost a quarter-century.

No American woman in our history has been so prominent for so long, with the possible exception of Eleanor Roosevelt, who was in the public eye for 29 years but who held no elected office.

Susan B. Anthony was involved in women’s issues for 55 years, but for many of those years operated beyond widespread attention.

NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE David M. Shribman labor secretary throughout the entire FDR administration – one of only two Roosevelt Cabinet members to do so – and into the Truman administration but, apart from serving on the Civil Service Commission, largely faded from view afterward.

Clinton has not faded – indeed her national profile has only become more vivid – since she stood beside Bill Clinton 23 years ago this fall as he announced his candidacy for the White House.

Every statement she utters makes news.

It’s a great advantage – and a great disadvantage.

The advantage is that she is by far the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination, with a position more commanding than any non-incumbent candidate – at least since Walter F. Mondale in 1984, perhaps since Adlai Stevenson in 1956.

She will have money at hand, and attention wherever she goes. For the next several months her very presence – as a candidate if she becomes one, as a professed noncandidate until she withdraws – keeps others from the race,

Town & Country tops in the class Chrysler created

T

own & Country is Chrysler’s lead vehicle in the class it created three decades ago, based on a strategy that has evolved into more than 12 million sales, some 78 minivan “firsts” and more than 260 awards and honors.

This strategy is that a vehicle that deals with everyday tasks doesn’t have to be “everyday.”

A 30th Anniversary Edition with special badging has been added for this model year to commemorate the segment-leader’s service to families, individuals and businesses over the years. Town & Country also comes in the Touring, S, Touring-L, and Limited editions.

The list of “standards” is long and impressive. The “short list” includes a power liftgate, all-season tires, air conditioning, rear overhead console, power sliding driver and side passenger doors, second row 9-inch video screen (third row optional), Stow ‘n Go seating and storage system, rear window defroster and wiper, cruise control, power brakes, vehicle info center, antilock brakes, all-speed traction control, and second-row child seat anchoring system.

You need to know everything and your passengers want to do everything as you travel, so Town & Country Touring and Touring-L models come with a second-row, overhead, 9-inch. Highresolution video screen and DVD console, HDMI input, wireless headphones and video remote control, 115-volt power outlet and two USB charging ports.

Limited and S models have a dual DVD Blu-ray Entertainment System with second- and third-row overhead 9-ininch high resolution video screens and Blu-ray DVD console, two USB charging ports, one HDMI input, wireless headphones and video remote control.

Town & County offers features like a media center with 6.5-inch touchscreen and hard drive, SiriusXM radio, Uconnect multimedia system, and 9-speaker audio system.

The famous Stow ’n Go system that includes fold-in-the-floor seats and in-floor bins that can carry anything with up to 143.8 cubic feet of storage is standard, but now you can also get the “Stow N Place” roof rack. It can carry up to 150 pounds and, when not in use, folds flat to improve aerodynamics and reduce wind noise. Of course, the side sliding doors and rear liftgate are powered. A power sunroof is also available.

The creator of the minivan segment, Chrysler Group has developed 78 minivan firsts, including class-exclusive Stow ‘n Go seating and segment leading Blu-Ray rear-seat entertainment system (pictured below).

The 30th Anniversary Edition is one of five models in the 2014 Chrysler Town & Country lineup (above).

“Safety first,” so also available is the SafetyTec Group, standard on Touring and Limited models. It includes rainsensitive windshield wipers, auto high beam headlamp control, tire pressure monitoring display, Parksense rear park assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-path detection, and ParkView rear backup camera.

Clinton can take comfort from being lone Democratic contender 23 for a while he presented an important challenge to the former vice president. Sen. Gary Hart of Colorado entered the contest, and though he operated below the political radar for many months, he emerged a winner in New Hampshire and nearly won the nomination himself.

In the unusual circumstances of 2016, political professionals are trying to measure just how effective a candidate Clinton can be in a race that appears to offer her a clear field, a situation much different from 1984.

She has every element – an organized, disciplined mind, a broad network of potential appointees, comprehensive knowledge of the world and familiarity with world leaders – of being a good president. In that regard she has a profile much like that of George H.W. Bush.

But she might have another characteristic attributed to the older Bush. She may be a superb potential president but an awkward, perhaps even

halting, candidate. The problem with American politics since the beginning of the 20th century is that the qualities that make a political figure a good campaigner do not necessarily make him or her a good president.

Clinton can take some comfort from the notion that as the lone contender in the Democratic presidential race, all of her moves, especially missteps, prompt an outsize reaction.

Right now the campaign is akin to walking on heels across concrete in an empty room. Once other candidates are in the race -- and some surely will join --that room will have some carpeting and it will no longer be empty.

Even so, the perils of tripping are greater for her than for any other candidate. That’s the price of being on top.

her as a presidential candidate was abstract. Now people are getting a taste for what a second Hillary candidacy might be like,” said Lee M. Miringoff, who directs the Marist poll.

That first campaign – a pioneering effort by a female candidate – was upended by the kind of inflexibility that did not allow for the entrant of another pioneer, the first mainstream black candidate, nor for the importance of caucus states, which Obama focused on and captured while Clinton’s forces fought with each other and concentrated on primary states.

Clinton’s 2008 campaign is regarded as an astonishing series of missed opportunities and squandered potential. All presidential races are different, and all comparisons are specious. Mondale’s presence in the 1984 race, for example, did not chill others from becoming presidential candidates the way Clinton’s presence has.

VIEWS Dick Goss

• Friday, August 29, 2014

Between Joliet Catholic and Providence, the two neighboring powers have collected 22 state football championships.

Any time they get together, it’s magic.

These days, the Hilltoppers and Celtics meet in the season opener. The renewal of the rivalry will kick off at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Memorial Stadium.

Short of winning another state championship, there is nothing anyone among the Providence faithful would rather do than beat JCA. Of course, the reverse also is true.

The coaches involved, however, know there is more to it than simply winning this game.

“Without a doubt, it’s a big night,” Providence coach Mark Coglianese said. “That’s why we play it. There’s a lot of stress for those of us who need five wins to make the playoffs, but we need to find out where we stand.”

“I think it will be a great event,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said. “The only thing that can screw it up is the weather.

Combined with it being our Hall of Champions weekend, it will be special.”

The members of JCA’s first Hall of Champions class – Gordie Gillespie, Tom Thayer, Allie Quigley, Bill Gullickson and Jim Stefanich – will be recognized during halftime of the football game and will be inducted Saturday night at the JCA Student Activity Center.

That pageantry will add to what often develops into a classic game. Take 2013, for example.

As you may recall, the storms hit big-time Friday night a year ago, postponing most of the openers, this one included, until Saturday.

The wait was worth it, especially if you had JCA running back John Ivlow or Providence quarterback Justin Hunniford on your

JCA survived 42-35.

You might say Ivlow and Hunniford both had their coming-out party. So who will it be this year?

“A lot of kids will be playing their first varsity game for us,” Sharp said. “I’m anxious to see how they perform in a playoff atmosphere. We’ll learn a lot about how they execute and handle situations.

“It’s a great learning experience for the new guys, and a chance to see how much the returning guys have improved.”

Coglianese said that “In Week 1, you don’t know what to expect. That’s part of the puzzle. Some guys have a year of varsity experience

Recent ProvidenceJoliet Catholic history 2013: Joliet Catholic 42, Providence 35 2012: Providence 40, Joliet Catholic 34 2010: Joliet Catholic 25, Providence 13 2009: Providence 21, Joliet Catholic 7 2008: Providence 24, Joliet Catholic 21 (Round 2 of playoffs)

and they’re totally different.

We have a lot of guys who got playing time as juniors.

“It’s just hard to get a good reading in practice. We have five new starters in our offensive line. Is our defensive line good or not? We’ll find out.

But I am confident in those guys.”

Sharp said regardless of

the result, playing Providence can only help in the long run.

“You learn more from opening against an opponent like Providence than against a lesser opponent,” he said.

“We’re not going to play many teams with quality skill players like they have. This is an opportunity that only is going to make us better. Our players and staff are anxious for it.”

Tall receivers Miles Boykin, who committed to Notre Dame, and Nate Vejvoda, who is headed to Iowa, can run and will be a load for any secondary to handle.

“We have been blessed with good skill kids through the years but never one like Miles, let alone two D-I’s together,” Coglianese said.

So if you enjoy offense, this may be the place for you.

In 2012, Providence won 40-34,

preceding last year’s 42-35 JCA victory.

“It’s not the way it used to be,” said Coglianese, who is 3-2 against Sharp and JCA, including a 24-21 overtime victory in the 2008 playoffs.

“We like to think with the score last year, that’s not the way we play defense here at Providence. But we’ve got to go out and prove it.”

For whatever reason, I’m feeling the total points for the two teams combined will not reach the production of the past couple of years. However, I can see the recent trend continuing where the game is decided by a touchdown or less.

Meanwhile, I’m anxious to see which players on both sides enjoy their coming-out party.

GIRLS TENNIS: JOLIET CATHOLIC 3, PROVIDENCE 2

Joliet Catholic defeats Providence in ESCC dual

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Friday, August 29, 2014

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – With three returning state qualifiers back, Joliet Catholic’s girls tennis team again figures to be one of the better squads in the area.

And after playing three dual meets during the opening week of the season, the Angels are off to a good start after posting a 2-1 mark.

On Thursday, JCA swept doubles play while Providence won the two singles matches as the Angels claimed a 3-2 victory in East Suburban Catholic Conference play.

Coach Mark Streitz’s squad received two-set doubles wins from returning qualifiers Maddie Bauer and McCoy Hutchison (first), Annie and Katie Payne (second) and Megan Paolucci and Taylar Testin (third).

“We’re all really close,” Hutchison said. “It’s fun at practice and we pump each other up and cheer each other on at matches. I feel like we’re all improving so hopefully a few more of us can get to state this year. This was definitely

Meanwhile, Providence got wins from Hannah Davis (first) and Casey Zavodny

(second) in singles. Davis beat Nina Bertino in a matchup of talented juniors, while Zavodny edged Madison Wyss in the

day’s only three-set match.

The Celtics have finished better than JCA for the past three years in sectional competition. A year ago, the two squads battled it out for top honors at the Plainfield North Sectional.

Bauer and Hutchison, who were sectional runners-up a year ago to Providence’s graduated team of Kelly and Maggie Ruane, won 6-2, 6-0 at first doubles on Thursday.

“I think that we have a great team since we’re all friends, not only on the court but off it,” Bauer said. “We support each other through the ups and downs and it’s great to have that type of support behind you. Everyone on the team is improving.”

The Paynes prevailed by 6-1, 6-0 scores while Paolucci and Testin were 6-1, 6-3 winners in the other doubles match for the Angels, who bounced back with a pair of wins after getting edged, 4-3, in their opener by Lincoln-Way East.

Davis, a two-time qualifier in singles, captured a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Bertino, who advanced in singles last year

after going to state in doubles the previous season. This was a rematch of last year’s sectional finals, which Davis also won.

“I definitely feel good about where I’m at,” Bertino said.

“I worked so hard this summer and I’m hoping that it shows during the season and I can improve my record a lot.

The competition in the USTA tournaments is so tough, and that’s been really good for me.

Our team is definitely much better this year and I’m so excited.”

In the final match to conclude, Zavodny rallied for a 3-6, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6) victory to assure coach Ben Thompson’s Celtics of their second singles win.

“We have lot of young girls, so we’re looking to improve,” Thompson said. “We have only eight on the team, which includes two freshmen. The twins held the number-one doubles spot for three years in a row. But there’s still a lot of talent and it’s just about learning how to work with each other. It’s a good group of girls and I’m looking forward to the season.”

FLORENCE 6, SLAMMERS 4 (DELAYED)

Florence pulls ahead of Slammers before rains hit

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – The rain came down in the seventh inning and delayed Thursday’s game with the Slammers trailing the Florence Freedom, 6-4, with two Joliet runners on base and no one out at Silver Cross Field in the finale of the threegame series.

Joliet led, 4-1, heading into the seventh inning before the Freedom scored five runs to take a 6-4 lead.

If the game was called before the seventh inning was completed, the score would have reverted back to a 4-1 Slammers lead after the sixth inning, which would have given Joliet the victory.

The Slammers remembered the original tenants of Silver Cross Field, the Joliet Jack-

Hammers, by inviting former JackHammers Rich Hyde, Billy Petrick and Josh Loggins to participate in pregame activities.

The Slammers, who entered with a record of 34-55 and are losers of five straight at home, struck first in the bottom of the first.

Adrian English drew a one-out walk and Grant DeBruin followed with a single to center. Matt Weaver singled to left, but Zak Blair’s throw home got English out at the plate for the second out of the inning after trying to score from second.

Adam Giacalone followed with a single to left. Joliet manager Jeff Isom, who also coaches third, held DeBruin at third base, but Weaver took too wide a turn as he rounded second and was caught in a rundown.

While Florence infielders tried to tag out Weaver, DeBruin broke for home. He drew a throw from second baseman Chance Ross, which was off the mark and DeBruin scored to make it 1-0.

The Slammers scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to extend their lead to 4-0. Seth Granger singled to center to lead off the inning and Max Casper followed with a bunt single.

English’s sacrifice bunt moved the runners to second and third. Freedom starter Peter Gehle then intentionally walked DeBruin to load the bases.

Weaver singled to right to drive home Granger and Casper, and Giacalone’s ground out to second scored DeBruin.

Joliet starter Matt Crim

pitched five scoreless innings before the Freedom touched the lefthander for a run in the top of the sixth. Sam Eberle and Jacob Tanis started the inning with back-to-back singles.

Crim retired Rolando Gomez on a pop out to Casper before striking out Bryan Soloman swinging. Adam Taylor followed with an RBI single to right to score Eberle to make it 4-1. Crim ended the inning by striking out Ross swinging for his seventh strikeout of the game.

Right-handed reliever John Maloney came on to pitch the seventh for the Slammers. He walked Freedom catcher Gaby Juarbe to start the inning.

Juarbe moved to second on a passed ball and Maloney walked Cole Miles. Zak Blair followed with a single

to left to score Juarbe and Isom replaced Maloney with righthander Sam Moore.

Moore walked Eberle to load the bases. Tanis (3 for 4) followed with a two-run single to left to tie the game at 4.

Gomez reached on a fielder’s choice that forced in Tanis and Moore hit Soloman to again load the bases.

Taylor (3 for 4, three RBIs) hit a two-run single to right to break the tie and put Florence ahead 6-4.

Isom went to bullpen again in the inning, replacing Moore with righthander Kevin McNorton, who retired Juarbe and Miles to end the inning.

Florence’s Gehle walked Casper and English to start the bottom of the seventh inning and DeBruin was in the batter’s box when the umpire called for the tarp.

Billy Hamilton stole his 51st base and the Cincinnati Reds swiped six in all, beating the Cubs, 7-2, on Thursday.

The Reds stole six times in the first four innings, using six hits and four walks to build a 6-0 lead against Arrieta (7-5).

All six steals came at second base. Cubs catcher John Baker wasn’t able to throw out anyone.

“I was bad at holding the runners. That’s my fault,” Arrieta said. “I wasn’t giving Baker an opportunity to throw them out.”

DeKALB – It didn’t matter who was at quarterback, Northern Illinois’ offense could not be stopped.

NIU coach Rod Carey didn’t announce a starter leading up to Thursday night’s season opening 55-3 win against Presbyterian at Huskie Stadium.

There wasn’t even a starter announced during the pregame warmups.

It didn’t matter which signal-caller was in. Presbyterian, a Football Championship Subdivision program that went just 3-8 last season, was overmatched in every facet of the game.

Matt McIntosh took the field first, leading the Huskies on three scoring drives in the first quarter. Drew Hare took over in the second quarter, and was under center for the next five drives. His final pass of the night was a 49-yard touchdown pass to Juwan Brescacin.

Then it was time for sophomore Anthony Maddie, the third player battling it out for the starting job. He played with the second team and played the rest of the contest.

McIntosh finished the game 10 of 14 for 87 yards and a touchdown, while Hare went 8 of 13 for 100 yards and a score.

Maddie, who played with the second team, went 1 for 4 for 24 yards.

Holmes showcases agility against Browns

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com CLEVELAND – The last time Santonio Holmes played in a preseason finale, it was 2010 and he was facing a fourgame suspension, so he needed the extra work.

This year, he was the most notable veteran who actually did dress for the Bears in their 33-13 loss to the Browns on Thursday, and the wide receiver instilled some confidence that he is worth a roster spot to start the 2014 season.

Holmes made a catch in the second quarter, coming left to right, then spun on a dime and ran to the end zone for a 32yard touchdown.

Holmes then got a crack at returning a punt, something he hasn’t done in a regular-season game since 2010, and he showed off his agility on a 30-yard return. That was the end of Holmes’ night – the Bears saw what they needed to see.

“You see the explosion in him,” Trestman said about Holmes. “He caught a short throw, turned and ran, separated from the defense. That’s a good sign.”

On the defensive side of the ball, David Bass notched his second sack of the preseason, and would have shared another with fellow roster-spot-competitor Austen Lane if it weren’t for a penalty.

Rookie QB gets chance: David Fales completed 11 of 17 passes for 129 yards and the touchdown to Holmes in the first half, solid stats, but he

Keeping customers happy for 50 years Manhattan resident still repairing guitars at Joliet music center

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

OLIET – Repairing guitars is less about “what to do” and more about “what not to do,” said Charlie Brewer, who has been fixing guitars for more than 50 years.

Many times, Brewer added, the “what not to do” is simple, such as not using epoxy glue.

“It acts like cement and you can’t get it off again,” said Brewer, of Manhattan.

“You have to be able to dismantle a guitar.”

Brewer rents space at West Side Music Center in Joliet. Co-owner Jenny Scherf said she and her husband Mark know when it’s Wednesday, the day Brewer isn’t in the shop.

Business is that sparse, she added.

“Honestly, I think West Side Music is still here because of Charlie,” Jenny Scherf said. “He’s so colorful and has so much knowledge.

The biggest thing I hear is, ‘He sold me my first guitar.’

I don’t know anyone that knows this much about guitars, but he won’t sugarcoat it. If something you want isn’t working, he’ll tell you.”

The most common problem Brewer sees – especially with new guitars – are strings that are too high for comfortable playing. Not only does it “hurt the heck” out of the player’s fingers, the extra tension on the strings invariable raises the pitch.

“It should play easy and tune true,” Brewer said.

“Nothing less.”

Brewer said only a “super piece of junk” would resist adjusting, However, what’s optimal is individual to the player. Bring Brewer 50 different guitarists and he’ll show you 50 modifications, he said.

“I set it up and then let

But they do come back.

Brewer said he’s had some customers for the entire 50 years.

He services the children and grandchildren of those first customers, too. Brewer’s career began in 1961 when he walked into the former Harmony Music in downtown Joliet, probably to buy guitar strings, he said, and found the owner, the late Emma Madarik, quite upset.

Someone had brought back a nonworking amplifier. Brewer fixed it for Madarik, who then hired him to do repair work. Brewer was surprised that he had impressed Madarik because

the amplifier was really easy to fix.

“I think one of the tubes in it was loose,” Brewer said.

From there, Brewer worked for a variety of music stores in both sales and repairs. These stores, he said, included the former Iceberg Musicland and the former Wurlitzer Music.

Wurlitzer closed in 1998, Brewer said, and he prepared to move operations to his home.

“The people who owned this store [West Side Music Center] asked if I’d like to come down here and they gave me this little space,” Brewer said. “I’ve been here ever since.”

Brewer said he no longer does intricate inlay work because his vision is poor. That is also why one of the guitar

teachers at West Side Music does Brewer’s soldering, he added. Brewer said he also stopped refinishing guitars because he got tired of messing with the chemicals.

He no longer builds customize electric guitars, although that kept him busy in the 1970s.

Brewer feels the market is glutted; it’s almost impossible to invent something new, although he does customize existing guitars. Some kids want to change their guitar’s pick-up every month, he said.

Despite his vast experience, Brewer still experiences an occasional mistake – such as the time he had to glue the loose top braces of an acoustic guitar.

Instead of fumbling with his hands, Brewer used a

little wedge to place the glue.

He then let the guitar dry over the weekend. When he removed the clamp on Monday morning, Brewer had a surprise.

“I forgot to take the wedge out and glued it in there,” Brewer said.

Born and raised in Mississippi where Brewer said everyone plays guitar, Brewer started playing guitar at 17 and later in a band called The Country Cats.

He said he quit playing music in 1970 when he married Joan – and Brewer was just fine with it.

“I was always more interested in how things worked than playing. No two repair jobs are alike,” Brewer said.

“It’s kind of challenging trying to figure out what to do without wrecking something else. Sometimes, I take off one piece and something else breaks. I never know what I’m into, especially with old guitars.”

Although he enjoys talking to musicians, Brewer doesn’t own a guitar and – with seven of them currently needing repair – doesn’t plan on buying one any time soon.

“I’ve got them coming out of my ears,” Brewer said.

“After I repair them, I play them. I play every day.”

QUICKCRITIC REVIEWS OF NEW MOVIES ON SCREEN NOW

“AS ABOVE, SO BELOW” STARRING: Perdita Weeks, Ben Feldman, Edwin Hodge

PLOT: When a team of explorers ventures into the catacombs that lie beneath the streets of Paris, they uncover the dark secret that lies within this city of the dead.

RATED: R for bloody violence/terror and language throughout TIME: 1 hour, 33 minutes VERDICT: “Abandon all hope, ye who enter here,” is the inscription uncovered by a gang of 20-something treasure hunters in the catacomb-hopping horror flick, “As Above, So Below.” But the warning could easily apply to viewers checking out this rather hopeless mash-up of “The Descent” and “(Rec),” not to mention a dozen other found-footage movies that have clogged the screens over the past five years. Hardly credible, even for a film claiming that the gates of hell lie a few hundred feet below Paris (if anywhere, they can be found in an overcrowded Metro car with no air conditioning), this low budget effort from director John Erick Dowdle and writer-producer-brother Drew Dowdle provides a few late scares after plenty of eye-rolling setup, with said scares due more to the heavy sound design than the action itself. The characters are all so brazenly one-dimensional that “As Above” never passes the credibility test from the get-go, only partly salvaged by a few chilling moments that pop up in the final reel. No strangers to the found-footage game, the Brothers Dowdle (as they call their production shingle) already handled the lesser U.S. remake of “(Rec),” and while that movie at least had a decent pitch, this one feels like an oddly serious take on the tongue-in-cheek Venice cave sequence from “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.” It doesn’t help either that this film is loaded with purposely shaky camerawork, making it hard to see what’s what and who’s who amid all the Mo-sick cinematography. At best, the filmmakers capitalize on their Paris locations, staging a few scenes in the actual catacombs (still a popular tourist attraction), others in a trendy nightclub and empty Right Bank cathedral. Along with a well-chosen closing song from French DJs Scratch Massive, and one or two genuine scares, that’s about the best this excursion has to offer. Come for the poster, stay for the end credits. – The Associated Press

Pierce Brosnan (center) and Olga Kurylenko in a scene from the film, “The November Man.”

“THE NOVEMBER MAN” STARRING: Pierce Brosnan, Luke Bracey, Olga Kurylenko

PLOT: An ex-CIA operative is brought back in on a personal mission and finds himself pitted against his former pupil in a deadly game involving high level CIA officials and the Russian president-elect.

RATED: R for strong violence including a sexual assault, language, sexuality/nudity and brief drug use TIME: 1 hour, 48 minutes VERDICT: One-time 007 Pierce Brosnan embraces a darker take on spycraft in Roger Donaldson’s “The November Man,” playing a former CIA agent whose autumnal nickname acknowledges his tendency to leave few alive when he passes through a town. “Novem-

ber Man” won’t do anything like Bond’s box office, but will satisfy the actor’s fans and moviegoers biding their time until the next top-shelf le Carre-style thriller. Here, Brosnan plays Peter Devereaux, who in his day was known for his unwillingness to form personal attachments that could compromise his duties. Like all spies, though, he had his secrets: Though the film’s cat-and-mouse scenes hardly compare to those in a Bourne movie, they’re enjoyable and only occasionally ridiculous. (A long sequence in which Devereaux and Mason taunt each other on the phone during a chase makes little sense except for those longing to hear “You’ve lost your touch, old man” cliches.) Brosnan, whose old franchise made a smart turn away from superspy fantasy after his departure, plays the gritty

side of spookdom well, and the film offers him (sometimes puzzling) opportunities to show just how nasty he can be, even as he’s risking life and limb to save a stranger.

“Don’t put your faith in me, Alice – I promise I’ll disappoint you,” Peter says at one point, and Brosnan’s grave delivery almost makes you ignore the fact that it’s exactly the kind of line Pee-wee Herman ruined for troubled loners when he gave Dottie the kiss-off back in 1985’s “Pee-wee Herman’s Big Adventure.”

This episode in Granger’s “November Man” series, “There Are No Spies,” was published two years after that, and Michael Finch and Karl Gajdusek’s script does little to disguise the fact that we’ve seen and heard all of this many, many times since. – The Associated

“God’s Favorite” is presented with permission from Samuel French, Inc., to whom royalties are paid.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Brian Tracy said, “I’ve found that luck is quite predictable. If you want more luck, take more chances. Be more active. Show up more often.”

In my experience, the better you play, the luckier you will be.

And when you are being lucky, press the accelerator to the floor.

This week we are looking at active and passive defense; whether the defenders should try hard to win tricks or should wait for declarer to give them winners.

Often the auction will provide clear evidence of which way to turn. But sometimes it will not help. Then the defenders should study the dummy for guidance – as in this deal.

South is in four hearts. West leads the diamond two. After winning with his ace, what should East do next?

The dummy is threatening because that spade suit is surely going to provide declarer with a source of tricks, on which he can discard his losers. East must defend actively by shifting to the club 10. Here, this garners three tricks in the suit to defeat the contract.

Then East should congratulate West on his lead. If he had chosen, say, a trump, declarer would have taken at least 11 tricks.

Finally, defense can be affected by the form of the game.

When you are playing Chicago or Swiss teams or knockout teams, when overtricks are relatively unimportant, follow this week’s guidelines. But when you are competing in a pair event, where overtricks can be like gold-dust, you must be more careful if your active defense is likely to blow a trick.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I am sick to death of hearing about people who have too many kids and the hardship it imposes. Common sense for the women is to use birth control, but why don’t men step up to the plate and have a vasectomy?

I had one years ago and it has worked well for me.

I never hear it mentioned on talk shows or read it in any advice columns, including yours.

Men of America, wake up! – Joseph In Las Vegas Dear Joseph: I’m sure the word “vasectomy” has been used in previous Dear Abby columns, but I’m glad to remind my male readers. While I have never taken a poll on this subject, I’ll hazard a guess or two about why men are reluctant to have them: One, they equate it with castration; two, they think at some point they might change their mind or their partner; and three,

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips they’re afraid it will be painful.

Drumroll: For any men out there who are worried that some tragedy might wipe out your family and you will have to start over, sperm can be banked for up to 20 years and used should the need arise.

P.S. There are also more options open to women than the pill. These include IUDs and, if they’re sure they want to be finished with childbearing, tubal ligation.

Dear Abby: I raised three kids in a normal household, putting them to bed between two sheets.

Now my two younger ones no longer sleep between sheets, but wrapped up in a blanket on a

sheetless mattress. One of them has children, and is passing the habit on to them.

The only thing I can conclude is that it’s laziness, and I’m wondering where I went wrong. Has anyone else encountered this? – Taken Aback In Missouri Dear Taken Aback: People have varying sleep “styles.” If, when your children lived with you, you taught them to launder their sheets and make their beds, then you didn’t go wrong. (One can only hope they wash those blankets regularly.)

If possible, invite your grandchildren for sleepovers so they can experience how the “other half” lives. You would be doing them a favor because children can’t learn what a parent hasn’t taught them.

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Stick with ‘good’ carbs as part of a healthy diet Dear Doctor K: In your column you often distinguish between “good” and “bad” carbohydrates.

What makes a carb good or bad?

Dear Reader: Carbohydrates – carbs – occur naturally in a variety of foods, from fruits, vegetables and milk, to breads, cereals and legumes. Carbs are also added to many foods, often in the form of sugar. Your digestive system transforms carbs into glucose (blood sugar). They are your body’s main source of energy.

Whether a carb is “good” or “bad” depends on several factors.

Some of the most important are: • Whether they are refined or whole; • Their effect on your blood sugar level; • Their fiber content.

Refined versus whole. Refined carbs include white flour, white rice, soda, fruit drinks and sweets.

The refinement process strips away many of the original carbohydrate’s valuable nutrients, fiber and vitamins.

Good carbs, on the other hand, are intact, or minimally processed.

They include whole grains, which lower the risk of heart disease, diabetes and possibly stroke.

Other minimally processed carbs include brown rice, oats, whole wheat flour, fruits and vegetables.

Good carbs take longer to digest.

diabetes is reduced.

Fiber content. There are two types of fiber: insoluble and soluble. Insoluble fiber is found in the skin, peels and husks of fruits, vegetables and whole grains. It passes through your digestive tract without breaking down and helps prevent constipation.

Soluble fiber is chiefly found in oats, legumes (beans and peas) and a part of fruit called pectin.

Soluble fiber improves blood sugar levels. And it decreases the level of LDL cholesterol in the blood, reducing the risk of heart disease.

Fruits, vegetables and whole grains are good sources of fiber.

For many years, people were told that low-fat diets were healthy. That’s wrong. Just as there are good and bad carbs, there are good and bad fats. Unfortunately, the low-fat diet craze led many people to substitute carbs for fat as an energy source. Even more unfortunately, the carbs people chose were bad carbs. So stick with the good carbs and eat a balanced diet.

As a result, blood sugar and insulin rise slowly and peak at lower levels. Fruits, vegetables and whole grains tend to keep blood sugar levels steady. The pancreas isn’t overworked, and the risk of

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. Visit www.AskDoctorK. com to send questions and get additional information.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff (On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put a table with examples of healthy carbs to enjoy and refined carbs to avoid.)

Effect on blood sugar. Your body digests refined carbs and sugars quickly. This causes blood sugar levels to rise rapidly following a meal. When the pancreas – an organ in your abdomen – senses high levels of blood sugar, it produces bursts of insulin. Insulin lowers blood sugar levels by driving the sugar from the blood into the cells.

The cells need it for energy.

So far, so good. The problem is that if your pancreas has to keep responding to sudden surges of blood sugar, many times a day, day after day, it gets pooped. After many years, the overworked pancreas can’t make insulin as well as it used to. That can lead to Type 2 diabetes.

Dr. Wallace: Janet, 15, had been taking piano lessons for over two years and was tired of them because she didn’t enjoy playing and wanted to quit. Her parents wanted her to continue, hoping that one day she would love to play and continue playing the rest of her life. But she was tired of taking lessons and said they were a waste of money.

I was surprised that you agreed she should stop playing the piano.

Shame, shame on you!

Are you not aware, Dr. Wallace, that music soothes our troubled minds and brings joy and comfort to every human being and animal on this planet? Music is the universal language that promotes peace and understanding.

Music instills in us the desire to be joyous and is given to us as a gift by the Almighty. Music is wisdom. Music is courage. Music is strength.

Music is kindness. Music is love. And most of all, music is holy.

Please contact this young lady and tell her you have changed your mind and that she should continue her piano lessons. She will be glad some day that you did. – Upset, Carson City, Nevada Dear Upset: It is great that you love music, but your admonition is confused, and no, I will not change my mind. Music is everything you say it is, and more, but that doesn’t mean it should be forced down someone’s throat.

Let’s say the writer had been a boy who wanted to quit Little League baseball after two years in the program because he was sick of it. While I love athletic competition, I would have encouraged his par-

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace ents to let him drop out.

Playing shortstop isn’t for everyone, and neither is playing the piano.

If you do not love the instrument and, after two years, consider your lessons a waste of money, something’s wrong, and you should be allowed to stop. Music, like athletic competition, is a serious and demanding discipline, but it should never be drudgery. Parents are right to expose their children to it, but at a certain point whether to continue or not must be the child’s choice.

Dr. Wallace: I’m writing to give you a compliment. Your column is about the only thing I read in our local newspaper. I find it interesting, and it deals with a subject to which I can relate. Your advice helps many teens and it’s amazing how much of your advice seems to be aimed at me. I really don’t have any major problems, but if I do, you can be sure I will contact you again. I’m emailing this just to see if it gets to you. – Sue, Michigan City, Indiana Dear Sue: As you can see, your email did get to me. Thanks for your kind words. It makes up for all those letters I get that begin, “I strongly disagree with the advice you gave to ... ” Thanks for reading my column, but I suggest you branch out and spend some time also reading the rest of your newspaper. Doing so will keep you abreast of your community, state and country.

John Lithgow (left) and Alfred Molina provide a master class in great screen acting as longtime couple Ben and George in “Love Is Strange.”

John Lithgow, Alfred Molina love and learn in ‘Love Is Strange’

By ANN HORNADAY The Washington Post A common adage about great screen acting is that it’s less about doing than being.

Alfred Molina and John Lithgow provide a master class in that subtle, sublime endeavor in “Love Is Strange,” a delicate, superbly crafted and deeply moving portrait of family in its many forms and emotional permutations.

Ben (Lithgow) and George (Molina) have been together for almost 40 years when they are finally able to get married.

“Love Is Strange” opens on their wedding day, during which they’re toasted by, among others, Ben’s nephew’s wife, Kate (Marisa Tomei), who raises a glass to the inspiration of their commitment to each other and to how much they’ve taught her and her husband, Elliot (Darren E. Burrows), about staying together over the long haul.

It’s a moving encomium, but it will be put to the test once “Love Is Strange” gets

underway. Throughout this quiet but acutely observed drama – gently spiked with moments of warm, knowing humor – Ben and George will not only find their nascent union somewhat challenged, but will confront the very limits of their loving extended clan, genetic and chosen.

It’s not fair to go into much more detail about the plot of “Love Is Strange”; suffice it to say that it deals with many of the same themes and problems – with similar astuteness and sensitivity – as “Please Give,” Nicole Holofcener’s wise and funny comedy of manners set against the bemusing backdrop of Manhattan real estate. (One of the funniest running gags in “Love Is Strange” is the way Ben and George’s Manhattan friends disdainfully say the word “Poughkeepsie” when someone brings it up as a living option, as if it’s simply too outre to contemplate.)

Much as his characters do, Ira Sachs, who has directed the film from a script he wrote

with Mauricio Zacharias, makes New York something of its own character here, filming affectionate shots of the city’s skyline with the same subdued tones that Ben uses in the painting he’s working on from Kate and Elliot’s rooftop.

Sachs, who made the observant romantic drama “Keep the Lights On” two years ago, has both upped and deepened his game with “Love Is Strange,” somehow managing to capture life at its most quotidian, irritating and endearing while injecting the film with a subtle sense of outrage and impending unease. Although Ben and George seem rock-solid – an impression bolstered by Lithgow and Molina’s utterly convincing, two-spoons-in-adrawer physicality with one another – viewers may well wonder where this small but pivotal chapter in their lives will lead them. The same questions surround Kate and Elliot’s son, Joey (Charlie Tahan), whose adolescent

preoccupations don’t always jibe with having Uncle Ben in such close proximity.

Filmed in a series of beautifully arranged vignettes, set to a gorgeous classic soundtrack of mostly Chopin piano pieces, “Love Is Strange” wends its way to a shattering final moment, all the more stunning for the film’s most important events having happened off screen.

“Love Is Strange” turns out to be a subtle, sidelong coming-of-age and letting-goof-age story, a lyrical ode to longing and passion that were there all along, had we only noticed. Attention is duly paid in this tender and touching film; the strangest thing about “Love Is Strange” is how completely un-strange it is, from its familiar family dynamics to its exquisite honesty and compassion.

• “Love Is Strange” received three stars out of four. The film is rated R and contains profanity. It runs 94 minutes.
