JOLIET – The City will endup spending $45.5 million –about 10 percent more than itsinitial engineer’s estimates –on three sewer projects.

The City Council approvedthe change in how much itwill borrow from the IllinoisEnvironmental ProtectionAgency’s Water PollutionControl Loan Program afterhigher-than-expected bidscame back on two of the threeprojects.

District One CouncilmanLarry Hug questioned whythe city’s initial cost esti-mates were low on the proj-ect, which involves runninga combined sewer and stormwater tunnel under the De-sPlaines River, sewer im-provements along Route 6and a new pumping stationand screen filter at the EastSide Waste Water TreatmentPlant.

“This is a huge project,”City Manager Jim Hock said.“It’s hard to get an estimateon something that’s not rou-tinely done, like tunnellingunder a river.”

The initial overall esti-

mate was about $41.2 million.Hock pointed out that the

city still would save about $1million in interest over the20-year life of the loan due tothe program’s lower rates.

The city also awarded con-tracts on all three projects.

The river tunnel contract,originally estimated at $19million, was awarded to Jo-seph J. Henderson & Son Inc.for $21.36 million. A $1.6 con-tract for engineering serviceson the project was awarded toHatch Mott MacDonald LLC/V3 Companies of Illinois.

The waste water treatmentplant contract, originally esti-mated at about $10.7 million,was awarded to WilliamsBrothers Construction for$11.27 million, plus $422,000for engineering services toDonohue & Associates.

The Route 6 contract, orig-inally estimated at $7.8 mil-lion, was awarded to SteveSpeiss Construction for $6.6million, plus about $297,000for engineering to Donohue &Associates.

Hock said the agreementsrequire that at least 10 per-cent of the projects be givento minorities.

In other business, the

council named Scott Streetbetween Jefferson and Cassstreets at Rudy Mahalik Way.

Councilman Mike Turksaid Mahalik was lifelongpromoter for the city, alongwith being “one of the bestdancers in Joliet.”

Mahalik was on hand forthe presentation, along withhis family.

Mahalik’s son, Rudy Ma-halik Jr., noted his father wasinstrumental in bringing theCrimeStoppers program inJoliet in the early 1980s, afterseeing it work during a trip toArizona.

Joliet was reeling from aseries of serial murders at thetime, Mahalik Jr. noted. Mil-ton Johnson eventually wasarrested and convicted for thekillings.

“People were afraid,” hesaid. “People were fearful togo out.”

Mahalik collaborated withthen-Councilman Bob Hackerto launch the program.

“Dad was the spark plugthat helped make it happen,”Mahalik Jr. said. “He spun itfrom a negative on the crimespree to a positive about howcitizens were taking thingsinto their own hands.”

Plainfield development plan continues to confoundBy VIKAAS [email protected]

PLAINFIELD – Residentsof Dillman Estates, DunmoorEstates and the Shenandoahsubdivision spoke out againsta planned single-family devel-opment Tuesday because theysay it would significantly low-er their property values.

A 16-unit single-family de-velopment plan called TheReserve was presented for thesecond time to the PlainfieldPlan Commission on Tuesday.And for the second time, resi-dents from the nearby subdivi-sions said the plan didn’t makesense.

The developer also couldn’tanswer several questions thePlan Commission put forth. Sothe plan commission decided

to continue discussion on thedevelopment to the next Sept.16 meeting.

“If we’re going to cut ourteeth on new developmentor construction, I’m not surewhy we’re cutting our teeth onhalf-million dollar homes,” res-ident Larry Jaderberg said.

The development wouldcreate a street east from HeggsRoad between 135th Street and127th Street where AugustaCourt is located, extending toTaylor Street and connectinganother road north to SkylineDrive. A boulevard wouldmark the entrance to thestreet.

About 7.5 acres along thatroad would be designated forthe development along with adry retention basin. The de-velopment would be south of

the Shenandoah neighborhoodand north of the DunmoorEstates and Dillman Estatesneighborhoods.

The minimum lot sizewould be 10,635 square feetand maximum would be 13,500square feet. However, the lotsizes of Dunmoor Estates andDillman Estates are 1,000 to2,000 square feet larger.

The lot sizes and the designof the development are whathad neighbors complaining.While developer Michael Pe-tak agreed to abide by the vil-lage’s single-family and 360-de-gree design standards, hecouldn’t offer specifics on howthe homes would look, startingat $350,000.

“People get upgrades mostof the time,” Petak said, add-ing that the prices of the homes

would jump to $400,000 ormore. Neighboring residentssaid that was still too low forthem, with houses that reachthe $600,000 and $700,000 range.

The development doesn’tmeet the village’s requirementfor low-density residential zon-ing and it was unclear wheth-er they would have two-car orthree-car garages.

Commissioner Dan Seg-gebruch told the developer’steam they may not be ready forthe project.

Petak agreed to work withvillage staff to incorporate de-sign standards and come upwith answers to questions com-missioners had about homepricing, lot sizes, the streetboulevard and how the devel-opment will integrate with sur-rounding communities.

3COVER STORY

JOLIET – Leaders of WillCounty’s oldest nonprofitagency still are settling intoa new location, but they seeit as a historic step forward.

Guardian Angel Commu-nity Services still is unpack-ing at its new location, 168N. Ottawa St. in downtownJoliet, after moving from thebuilding it occupied for closeto 90 years at Plainfield Roadand Theodore Street. Butthe family services agencyis serving clients at the newoffices.

The agency, which wasonce an orphanage, hasgrown in the number of pro-grams it offers and clients itserves. Guardian Angel nowserves more than 30,000 cli-ents a year.

Moving into a new build-ing in downtown Joliet wasexciting for April Balzhiser,the agency’s chief operatingofficer. Now April and othersare working closer to com-munity resources, such asthe Will County Courthouse,State’s Attorney’s Office andMetra train station.

“It’s much more conve-nient for clients to access ad-ditional services,” she said.

The agency has grown inthe number of services it of-fers since it began 117 yearsago. The Sisters of St. Francisof Mary Immaculate, a Jolietreligious order, establishedan orphanage in the late 1890swhen they saw need for onein the community.

It was later renamedGuardian Angel Home. Theorphanage moved to its loca-tion on Plainfield Road andTheodore Street in 1925. Theagency became a nonprof-it group with its own set ofboard directors in the early1970s as it focused on treatingemotionally disturbed chil-

dren and families.The Sisters of St. Francis

of Mary Immaculate spon-sored the agency until 2011,when the decision was madeto withdraw sponsorship asCatholic teachings differedfrom court rulings that fosteragencies had to follow whenworking with homosexual orunmarried couples.

Guardian Angel Com-munity Services now offersfoster care services, partnerabuse intervention, sexualassault and rape crisis ser-vices and child abuse and ne-glect prevention services.

Adjusting to the new locationThe familiar building on

Plainfield Road was boughtby the University of St. Fran-cis in the spring. USF plans toput its nursing college there.With months of planning,Guardian Angel CommunityServices began its move inearnest in July.

Ines Kutlesa, the agency’schief executive officer, saidthe moving process was re-warding and historic.

“This has been a labor oflove from the start,” she said.

The new location is small-er. The old building had agym. But the new facility gavethe agency the opportunity todesign it in a way that wouldbest fit its needs, Kutlesa said.

“We wanted to be able tocreate a welcoming space forthe families we serve,” shesaid about the new location.“We were successful in doingthat.”

The downtown location isa huge adjustment for ValeriePastwa, the agency’s mar-keting and communicationsspecialist. There were manythings staff grew accustomedto in the old location, but thenew location will be closerfor many clients, she said.

“It’s important they haveaccess and walking distance

from services,” Pastwa said.

Agency changes overthe years

The agency’s services havecontinued to expand since the1970s and early 1980s. Kutlesasaid Will County is one of thestate’s fastest growing coun-ties and the agency is servingmore clients.

For instance, the agency’sdomestic violence hotlinereceived 56 calls a month 10years ago and now receivesmore than 900 calls a month,she said. Since 2000, the agen-cy has seen a 200 percentincrease in the number ofservice hours for its sexualassault program.

All this has meant theagency has needed to spreadawareness about domesticviolence and the services itoffers in response, Kutlesasaid.

“I think just in general weare out there reaching the

masses, especially throughour sexual assault program,which is doing a phenomenaljob, so people feel comfort-able coming forward,” shesaid.

According to its 2013 an-nual report, the agency re-ceives support from individu-al donors, organizations andestates. It also receives sup-port from the Illinois Coali-tion Against Sexual Assault,United Way of Will County,United Way of Grundy Coun-ty, U.S. Dept. of Justice andother organizations.

When Pastwa came to theagency six years ago, sheworked in its emergency do-mestic violence program as acaseworker and subsequent-ly worked in other programs.In her current position, shetries to find support for theagency through fundraising,events and volunteer work.

“It’s really great to comefrom where I come fromworking with victims for solong and then being on thedonor side and telling peoplewhat’s needed,” she said.

MORRIS – The driver of avehicle involved in a fatal carcrash on Route 6 that left twopeople dead has been indict-ed for reckless homicide, ag-gravated driving while underthe influence and aggravatedreckless driving.

Tristan Durov, 18, ofShorewood was indicted bya Grundy County grand juryTuesday on 23 counts for hisinvolvement in the one-vehi-

cle accident that killed Kend-all Forth, 16, of Minooka andJames Harris III, 22, of Chan-nahon.

According to the indict-ment, Durov had a blood alco-hol concentration above thelegal limit of 0.08 and was un-der the influence of drugs, ora combination of drugs, whilebehind the wheel.

On July 21, Durov wasdriving an SUV east on Route6 when he lost control nearGun Club Road, according toauthorities. The car left the

roadway and went into thesouth ditch, where it rolledseveral times into a neighbor-ing field.

The indictment allegesDurov was speeding and driv-ing recklessly at the time ofthe crash.

The front-seat passenger– a 20-year-old from Minoo-ka – was extracted from thevehicle and suffered majorinjuries.

Forth and Harris – the twobackseat passengers – wereejected from the vehicle. Har-

ris was pronounced dead atthe scene, and Forth died thefollowing day at St. FrancisHospital in Peoria.

Durov also was transport-ed from the scene in criticalcondition and has sustainedmajor injuries. Because ofhis medical condition, Durovwas not arrested or bookedinto the Grundy County jail,Grundy County State’s Attor-ney Jason Helland said Tues-day.

Durov has agreed to com-ply with the Secure Contin-

uous Remote Alcohol Moni-toring (SCRAM) program andmust abstain from alcohol.As part of SCRAM, Durov isrequired to wear an alcoholmonitoring bracelet.

Durov was indicted on 15counts for aggravated drivingwhile under the influence, allclass 2 felonies; five countsfor aggravated driving whileunder the influence, all class4 felonies; two counts of reck-less homicide; and one countof aggravated reckless driv-ing, a class 4 felony.

CHANNAHON – The familyof one of the victims in the July21 fatal chain-reaction crashon Interstate 55 is calling fora federal investigation into avision waiver granted to thetruck driver accused of reck-less homicide in the collision.

Francisco Espinal-Quiroz,of Leesburg, Indiana, wasgranted a vision waiver fromthe federal government thatwas renewed the day before thecrash. The waiver allowed himto drive a commercial truckdespite being legally blind inone eye.

That exemption is admin-istered by the Federal MotorCarrier Safety Administration.

On Tuesday, the family ofone of the crash victims calledfor a federal investigation intothe vision exemption programand the circumstances sur-rounding Espinal-Quiroz’swaiver.

Frank Andreano, the attor-ney who represents the familyof Ulrike Blopleh, a 48-year-oldChannahon woman who wasone of five people killed, alsosent a letter Tuesday to U.S.Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Chan-nahon, requesting the waiverbe investigated.

An investigation could lookinto what factors were consid-ered when determining wheth-er Espinal-Quiroz was safe to

drive and whether the visionexemption program is safe, An-dreano said.

“How do they make a de-termination that a particulardriver is safe? There’s visionstandards, but they don’t saywhat it is you have to provein order to get an exemption,”Andreano said. “There’s no

objective test-ing criteria thatthe optometristtakes to ascer-tain whether ornot that personactually in factcan drive a mo-tor vehicle.”

Representa-tives from theF M C S A a n dKinzinger’s of-fice were noti m m e d i a t e l yavailable forcomment Tues-day.

The federalgovernment’svision exemp-

tion program has been in placesince 1992. The program allowstruckers with vision impair-ments to legally drive semi-trailers – provided they gainapproval from an eye doctorand demonstrate a safe drivingrecord.

Espinal-Quiroz, who com-pletely lost vision in his righteye due to a traumatic injurysustained in 1984, was first

granted a vision waiver in2006, according to a posting onFMCSA’s website.

After a 2005 examina-tion, his optometrist, whois unnamed, noted that Espi-nal-Quiroz “has excellent vi-sion in his left eye,” accordingto FMCSA documents. “I feelthat he has sufficient vision toperform the driving tasks re-quired to operate a commercialvehicle.”

The optometrist also notedthat Espinal-Quiroz reportedhe had 14 years driving expe-rience and that his driving re-cord for the past three yearsshowed “no crashes or convic-tions” for moving violations ina commercial motor vehicle.

Indiana Bureau of MotorVehicles records show Espi-nal-Quiroz was cited in 2006for driving a commercial ve-hicle without a proper license.Around this time, he was also

cited three times for non-seri-ous violations – once in 2006and twice in 2005, according torecords obtained from the In-diana bureau. Espinal-Quirozhas a history of traffic viola-tions that date back to 1991, in-cluding three speeding ticketssince 2012.

The most recent batch ofFMCSA’s vision exemptions,listed Aug. 29 on the agency’swebsite, name the individualsrequesting vision exemptionsand the reasons they are grant-ed.

For decades, highway safe-ty advocacy groups have com-plained to the FMCSA that theprogram is unsafe.

Henry Jasny, vice presidentand general counsel for Advo-cates for Highway and AutoSafety, said the program is like“playing roulette with publicsafety.”

All states require that com-

mercial truck drivers have noworse than 20/40 vision in botheyes, Jasny said, but the pro-gram allows for exemptionsto drivers – even those legallyblind in one eye.

“We don’t’ think that theprogram itself is a good pro-gram. The idea of grantingdrivers exemption from a safe-ty rule on the basis of, ‘Well,we think they’re OK,’ is an adhoc and not a safe way to runfederal standards,” Jasny said.“We think that if they feel theycan change the vision standardand lower it, then they shoulddo that, and they’ve never beenable to.”

The scary part, Jasny said,is that a federal investigation“will probably find” that FMC-SA “hasn’t violated” any lawand that Espinal-Quiroz wasproperly screened and legallyallowed into the program.

It’s unclear whether Espi-nal-Quiroz’s blindness in oneeye caused the accident. Prose-cutors have cited several possi-ble factors, including speedingand fatigue.

In the reckless homicideindictment returned last weekagainst Espinal-Quiroz, theWill County State’s Attorney’soffice alleged that he had phys-ical conditions that limited hisability to drive safely. He is be-ing held in lieu of a $1 millionbond. His next court appear-ance is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.Sept. 9.

Tin Roof is latest downtown restaurant ventureBy BILL WIMBISCUS

[email protected]

JOLIET – The managerof Tin Roof, the downtown’snewest restaurant, believesfarm fresh food and craft cock-tails are just the ticket to at-tract a lot of cool cats.

Tin Roof, 158 N. ChicagoSt., formerly Nardi’s on Chi-cago, opened its doors Aug. 1with a new menu and a newattitude, Brian Florczak said.

“Downtown Joliet was abooming area 40 years ago,and I don’t know why it can’tbe again,” Florczak said. “Allit takes is a little art, musicand food to take over and re-establish it.”

Tin Roof focuses on local,seasonal fare, Florczak said.All its produce comes fromChannahon, while its meat isproduced at farms within 250miles.

“It’s really nice to be ableto offer grass-fed beef and lo-cal produce,” Florczak said.“It’s like you’re giving backto the area.

The restaurant offers var-ious starters, salads, sand-wiches and plates. Florczaksaid his most popular dishesinclude:

• Mahi Tacos, topped withmango pico, cilantro, quesofresco and pickled cabbage;

• The Gavel, a sandwichfeaturing blackened chickenwith grilled onions, red pep-pers, roasted tomatoes andMonterey Jack cheese;

• Farmers Pasta, a blend ofsauteed seasonal vegetableswith crushed red pepper, ba-sil, garlic, olive oil and Parme-san cheese.

Bacon is a common themein many Tin Roof dishes,from Deep Fried Bacon, to aBLTAC (a BLT with avocadoand cucumber) and a caramel-ized bacon ice cream.

“I don’t believe any of uscan ever have enough bacon,”Florczak said.

T h e r e s t a u r a n t i sFlorczak’s first, although he’sworked in the industry forseveral years. His menu inspi-ration came from wanting toshowcase foods he cooked forhis own family and providingitems not found in other localrestaurants.

“The last thing I wantedto do is open another Italianrestaurant, or try to com-pete with places like Al’s orTruth,” he said.

The restaurant maintainsa full bar up front, as it did un-der previous owners as Nar-di’s, Thayer’s 158 North andBarolo’s, with a dining areain back and additional roomdownstairs. The building fea-

tures limited outdoor seatingunder a new metal awning.

The bar features craft cock-tails with fresh ingredients,

including homemade bittersand syrups, Florczak said.

Father and son appearin court in murder case


JOLIET – A Romeoville fa-ther and son who are accusedof beating a man to death witha baseball bat made a briefcourt appearance Tuesday.

A Will County Sheriff’sdeputy led Adam Ballard, 15,into the courtroom after hisfather, Mark, already hadbeen called before Judge Rob-ert Livas. Wearing shacklesand a green jumpsuit like hisfather’s blue one, the teenag-er was taken out immediate-ly after proceedings finishedto minimize his contact withadult inmates.

Like Mark, 42, Adam Bal-lard is charged as an adultwith first-degree murder inthe slaying of Richard Pol-lack, 55, last month. About2 a.m. Aug. 10 police werecalled to a large brawl on the400 block of Tallman Avenue

where witnesses allegedlysaw the Ballards strike Pol-lack in the head. Pollack wastaken to Adventist Boling-brook Hospital where he diedan hour later.

The Ballards were takeninto custody that same day –giving prosecutors 30 days toindict them or have a hearingto determine why they hadbeen arrested. Assistant WillCounty State’s Attorney JimLong requested proceedingsbe delayed until Friday. TheBallards have not been indict-ed but another round of grandjury indictments is scheduled

to be returned Wednesday.Livas granted Long’s mo-

tion over the objection of de-fense attorney Paul Napols-ki, who is representing bothAdam and Mark Ballard. Na-polski argued there was noreason not to hold the prelim-inary hearing Tuesday andtold the judge he plans to askfor a hearing to lower theirbond amounts.

Mark Ballard is being heldon $5 million bond in thecounty jail and Adam Ballardis being held on $1 millionbond in the River Valley Ju-venile Detention Facility.

First debate betweenFoster-Senger set

By VIKAAS [email protected]

NAPERVILLE – The firstconfirmed debate for the 11thCongressional District race isa candidate forum Oct. 23 onWTTW.

The forum isscheduled to airlive at 7 p.m. onWTTW-Chan-nel 11, the pub-lic televisionstation out ofChicago. Thep a r t i c i p a n t sa r e i n c u m -bent Rep. BillFoster, D-Na-perville, andopponent stateRep. DarleneSenger, R-Na-perville.

The candi-

dates will be interviewed liveby a moderator who is yet tobe determined, WTTW Man-ager of Media Relations JuliaMaish confirmed in an email.

The forum will also haveno studio audience, althoughthat could change, Maish said.

“We’re happy to do thedebate with WTTW,” saidAnthony Barry, Senger’scampaign manager. “But theconstant issue is we want todo open debates in front of thevoters who can ask questions.That has been the battle withCongressman Foster from theget-go.”

Senger’s campaign re-leased several statements inthe last couple of weeks say-ing that Foster “continues tohide out” by not agreeing toopen debates.

Both sides have said theywant to have the same debates

Foster had with 2012 congres-sional opponent Judy Biggert.Those included a forum withthe Chicago Tribune editori-al board, a community forumat the Temple Beth Shalom,a debate sponsored by ABC7 Chicago and the League ofWomen Voters and the WTTWcandidate forum

Foster’s campaign manag-er Craig Belden said Fosterhas agreed to the same de-bates he held with opponentJudy Biggert in 2012.

“We agree with Represen-tative Senger that the publicwas well served by the debateswe had with Congresswom-an Biggert in 2012, and havetherefore agreed to partici-pate in the same set of debatesthis year,” Belden said. “Wehope Representative Sengerjoins us for these importantissues.”

Life is so fragile You’re here, then you’re not, and it’s final, no going back,no changing anything at all. Fourteen years ago today, you were with us and

then you were gone. The depth of the loss almost surpasses understanding, evenwhen you realize you’re also mourning your own loneliness, and the

inevitability of it. The repercussions of murder never go away. Life has burnedthis hole in our hearts and it’s not going to heal. We miss you and everything

about you especially that beautiful smile of yours and the way your eyestwinkled with so much life. Your life was like a beautiful song, still unsung.

May you “rest in the arms of the angels” until we see you again.

Loving and missing you,Always and forever,

U.S. court hears debate inNSA phone records caseNEW YORK – A lawyer defend-

ing the government’s bulk col-lection of millions of Americans’telephone records found himselffacing tough questions Tuesdayfrom appeals judges wanting toknowwhether the programwillinevitably lead to, as one judgeput it, the government’s study of“every American’s everything.”Questions about the scope of

the program arose frequentlyduring arguments before the 2ndU.S. Circuit Court of Appeals inManhattan.After nearly two hours of

arguments, the court reserveddecision on the American CivilLiberty Union’s appeal of a De-cember ruling giving a green lightto the National Security Agencyprogram on the grounds that itwas a necessary extension tosecurity measures taken after theSept. 11, 2001, terror attacks. A2nd Circuit ruling is likely monthsaway.

Even the judges acknowledgedthe issue probably will be decid-ed by the Supreme Court.Circuit Judge Robert Sack noted

that a judge in Washington, D.C.,had ruled the other way, blockingthe collection of phone recordsof two men who had challengedthe program. Sack asked ACLUattorney Alex Abdo if the 2ndCircuit should issue its ruling butstay its effect if it sides with theACLU until the Supreme Courtcan speak.“Supposing we’re wrong and

somebody blows up a subwaytrain?” he asked.

ists released a video Tuesdaypurportedly showing the behead-ing of a second American journal-ist, Steven Sotloff, and warningPresident Barack Obama thatas long as U.S. airstrikes againstthe militant group continue, “ourknife will continue to strike the

necks of your people.”The footage – depicting what

the U.S. called a sickening actof brutality – was posted twoweeks after the release of videoshowing the killing of JamesFoley and just days after Sotloff’smother pleaded for his life.Barak Barfi, a family spokes-

man, said the Sotloffs had seenthe video but authorities had notestablished its authenticity.Sotloff, a 31-year-old Mi-

ami-area native who freelancedfor Time and Foreign Policymagazines, vanished in Syria inAugust 2013 and was not seenagain until he appeared in a videoreleased last month that showedFoley’s beheading.

A new study said as the worldgets warmer, parts of NorthAmerica, Europe and Asia couldsee more frequent and strongervisits of that cold air. Research-ers say that’s because of shrink-ing ice in the seas off Russia.Normally, the polar vortex

is penned in the Arctic. But attimes, it escapes and wanderssouth, bringing super chill.That can happen for several

reasons. The new study sug-gests one of them occurs whenice in northern seas shrinks,

leaving more water uncovered.Normally, sea ice keeps heat

energy from escaping the oceanand entering the atmosphere.When there’s less ice, moreenergy gets into the atmosphereand weakens the jet stream,the high-altitude river of air thatusually keeps Arctic air fromwandering south, said studyco-author Jin-Ho Yoon of thePacific Northwest National Lab-oratory in Richland, Washington.So the cold air escapes instead.

Fumigationmust be anongoing task

More than five years ago, when Illinois was embroiledin the Gov. Rod Blagojevich impeachment process, Lt.Gov. Pat Quinn boiled his solution to the corruptionscandal down to one word: fumigate.

“We have to fumigate state government,” Quinn told aChicago civic luncheon in late 2008.

“We need to fumigate state government,” Quinn toldreporters on a different occasion.

And, after Blagojevich was booted and Quinn tookoffice in late January 2009, the word popped up again.

“We’re going to start to fumigate state governmentfrom top to bottom to make sure it has no corruption,”Quinn said at a Capitol news conference.

The dictionary says that fumigate means to apply thefumes of certain chemicals to an area to disinfect it or torid it of vermin. You know – as in how the pest-controlman walks the hallways, rooms and exteriors of a build-ing, spraying to kill the bugs.

The word came to mind as more details broke aboutpolitical hiring in the Quinn administration, specificallythe Illinois Department of Transportation.

The Office of the Executive Inspector General issuedan investigative report last week stating that anti-pa-tronage hiring rules were circumvented at IDOT over thepast decade. In all, 255 people were improperly hired tomid-level “staff assistant” positions.

And the report stated the process accelerated in 2010and 2011 – after Quinn took office.

Any administration is allowed to hire political cronieswhen jobs involve policymaking or confidential informa-tion. But the jobs filled at IDOT were reclassified to makethem appear to be exempt from normal hiring rules, eventhough the duties for some jobs involved only mowinglawns and answering phones.

Quinn may be off the hook, because the report statedno evidence was found that he knew of the hiringshenanigans. IDOT’s acting secretary, Erica Borggren,announced the layoff of 58 remaining workers hired asstaff assistants, and that the job title would be discon-tinued.

But IDOT’s former secretary, Ann Schneider, whoresigned in June, said the “vast majority” of candidatesthat IDOT hired were recommended by Quinn’s office,and she felt pressured to hire them.

That’s a natural reaction. How many subordinates,when asked by the boss to take a particular action, sayno?

Consumers lose in taxi regulationA while back, I took a cab

to Chicago’s Navy Pier andattempted to pay for my ridewith a credit card.

My effort was greeted witha torrent of obscenities.

The driver didn’t want totake my card, despite a placardof regulations in the cab thatsaid he must do so. When Ipointed out the stack of creditcard carbons on his dashboard,he hollered even louder.

It seems some drivers wantthe taxicab business to bestrictly cash.

In the last year or so, analternative to cabs came onthe scene. It’s called UberFolks can use an app on theircellphone to get a ride. Nocash changes hands. It’s alldone online.

The drivers for Uber andits competitor, Lyft, have been

screened by those companiesand are driving their owncars. The pair get high marksfor customer service.

But the competition hadthe owners of some big-timeChicago cab companies hop-ping mad.

The firms operate whateconomists call an oligopoly,when a handful of big busi-nesses control the market.

In June, the median price fora Chicago taxi medallion was$339,625. There aren’t too manycab drivers who can fork overthat kind of dough. So these bigtaxi outfits buy the medallionsand rent them out to drivers for

a portion of the day.The medallions are issued

by Chicago City Hall.The bureaucrats like

it because it keeps moneypouring in to city coffers. Thecab companies like the systembecause they can continue tocontrol the market. And thepoliticians like it because theyget campaign contributionsfrom the cab companies.

That’s crony capitalism atits worst.

The group that isn’t beinglooked after in this arrange-ment is the consumer. Con-sumers suffer because theyhave to pay inflated prices.

And even though the indus-try is regulated, service canbe – as my experience shows –pretty lousy.

But now there is the gamechanger in the mix: Uber.

So what did the taxi com-pany fat cats do when theyfound out they might have toreally compete? They startedhiring Springfield lobbyistsleft and right. And they triedto force onerous regulationson Uber and Lyft.

The measure passedwith the help of a coalition

of Chicago Democrats anddownstate Republicans.

To his credit, Gov. PatQuinn vetoed the measurethis past week. He cited the“home rule” powers of citiessuch as Chicago as a reason.Quinn said: “I am vetoingthis legislation because itwould have mandated a one-size-fits-all approach to aservice that is best regulatedat the local level.”

Yet it is local governmentthat created the cost-pro-hibitive taxicab medallion

system. It helped keep thecost of cab rides high andprevented entrepreneurslacking the money from go-ing into the cab business.

This service is best regu-lated not at the state or locallevel but by consumers. Ifthey don’t like the service,they won’t use it.

• Scott Reeder is a veteranstatehouse reporter and ajournalist with Illinois NewsNetwork, a project of theIllinois Policy Institute.

Quinn, of course, is up forelection in November. HisRepublican opponent, BruceRauner, leaped at the opportu-nity to criticize his Democrat-ic opponent.

Quinn and his staff shouldsimply stop recommendingcandidates for jobs at IDOTor anywhere else in stategovernment.

That would relieve the

pressure on various depart-ments to hire certain peoplebecause the governor recom-mended them. Merit aloneshould be the deciding factor.

Perhaps Quinn could haveavoided the whole IDOT messif he had done a better job “fu-migating” state governmentfive years ago.

He also should learn fromthe pest-control man. You can’tfumigate just once and forgetit. You’ve got to spray on aregular basis to keep those an-noying bugs from coming back.

The Hokum Karem relayfeatured pairs of runnersalternating miles over thefour-mile course, with thetop three finishers from eachschool accounting for theirteam’s points.

“This is a tremendous con-fidence-booster for us movingforward, and it’s a great build-ing block for the rest of theseason,” Cougars coach DanShuman said. “We preparedvery hard over the summer,and to see it pay off with thegirls doing well and everyonerunning hard is a great re-ward. This was our first meet,and it’s something that we canbuild on.”

Leading the way for Southwas the third-place team ofDaijah Brown and returningstate qualifier Lexi Grigg, thefourth-place squad of ChelseaHernandez and Greta Carl-berg and the sixth-place pair-ing of Stephanie Cruz and Jo-zelyn Macias.

“It was a cool experience,especially working with a newteammate in Daijah, who’s afreshman,” Grigg said. “Thisis probably the biggest teamthat we’ve had in the past fewyears, with the most fresh-men. We’ve been working re-ally hard since the beginningof summer, and this shows it.It’s exciting to see how goodwe might be this year.”

In addition to being pleasedat winning a team title inher initial high school meet,Brown likes what she sees

from this year’s squad.“This was really exciting

since it was my first race offreshman year, and I got torun with the varsity, so I feltgood,” Brown said. “I had anexcellent partner to run withme, and we worked reallyhard. We all have a different

type of passion that works to-gether very well. We all havea lot of motivation, we’re allvery competitive, and we’re ahard-working team.”

A squad from Rosary wonthe girls race; North’s pair-ing of Miranda Bakker andRachael Lau, who was an all-

stater last season, claimedsecond place in the event.

The host Tigers were pacedby the second-place team ofJack Sebok and Tanner Thur-man, the ninth-place squad ofAdam Bruyere and Ben Ots-tott, and the 15th-place pair-ing of Daniel Gibson and TimSchrank.

“Neuqua is one of the bestteams in the state, so it’sgood for our guys to experi-ence racing against them,”North coach Andy Derks said.“We’ve made huge stridesfrom last year. We’ve got agood core group of juniors andseniors who have bought intowhat we’ve challenged them.And we’ve got two great newcoaches who have motivatedthe team.”

1421Many quality affiliations in Zimmer’s career

By CURT [email protected]

Note: This story is the third ina three-day series about Vikingscoach Mike Zimmer, who hails fromLockport.

When you think about defense inthe National Football League, youthink about coaches such as MikeZimmer.

The new head coach of the Minne-sota Vikings has excelled as a defen-sive coordinator for 14 years in theNFL and has had a hand in coachingdefense for 20 seasons.

Add to that a successful 15-yearstint coaching defense in college, andyou see why many Vikings fans wereso pleased when Zimmer become theirnew head coach.

Various outstanding footballcoaches have been influential duringZimmer’s 35-year coaching career. Inmany ways, it’s like a who’s who ofsome of the top minds in the game.

One man who has been fascinatedwatching Mike Zimmer’s emergenceas one of the NFL’s top defensivecoaches is Jim Hall, the longtimeLockport baseball and football coachwho got his start in the business un-der Mike’s dad, Bill, some 40 yearsago.

While Hall didn’t get to see Mikeplay during his Porter career, he hasbeen able to watch his rise throughthe coaching ranks and thus is bothproud and pleased that the 1974 LTHSgraduate finally got his shot at an NFLhead coaching position.

“This is outstanding for Mike,”said Hall, who visited with the Vi-kings coach during a recent trip toMinnesota. “I’ve followed him sincehe was at Illinois State and then start-ed coaching at Missouri before goingto Weber State and Washington State.Then he was with the Cowboys andthe Falcons for a year before going tothe Bengals.

“I couldn’t be happier for Mike andhis parents, Bill and Ann. I had thepleasure of inducting Bill and Mikeinto the Lockport sports hall of fame.Mike is so well-respected in the gameand has done everything that has beenrequired of him. He’s been success-ful everywhere that he’s been. He’s agreat coach who’s tough when he hasto be.”

After an injury prematurely end-ed his football playing days at IllinoisState, Mike Zimmer began his coach-ing career right away, assisting line-backers coach Ted Schmitz at ISU be-fore joining Warren Powers’ staff atMissouri, where he was an assistantfrom 1979 to 1980.

Then it was on to Weber State,

where he joined Mike Price, who hadbeen with him at Mizzou. He stayedthere for eight years before followingPrice to Washington State in 1989. Heserved as defensive coordinator at We-ber State from 1983 to 1988 and in thesame role at Washington State from1989 to 1993.

“I knew that he had a bright futurein coaching when he went to WeberState,” said Hall, who like Mike Zim-mer is an Illinois State graduate. “He

was the defensive backs coach and be-came defensive coordinator. He did agood job there, and he went to Wash-ington State.”

He made his move to the NFL in1994 when he joined the Cowboys, andhe coached defensive backs until the1999 season.

In 2000, he became Dallas’ defensivecoordinator, a position held throughthe 2006 campaign.

During his years in Dallas, the

Cowboys ranked in the top five in NFLscoring defense six times, and the 1995squad beat Pittsburgh in Super BowlXXX. In that stretch, he coached un-der Barry Switzer, Chan Gailey, DaveCampo and Bill Parcells.

After a year as Atlanta’s defensivecoordinator in 2007, Zimmer headed toCincinnati, where he joined MarvinLewis’ staff as the Bengals defensivecoordinator.

After rarely being in the NFL’s top-10 defensive rankings, the Bengalsfinished in that category four timesduring his final five years on the job.

He won the Halas Award in 2009 asthe individual who overcame the mostadversity to succeed after producinganother fine defense during a seasonin which his wife of 27 years, Vikki,suddenly passed away.

Hall, who still meets up with BillZimmer each spring in Florida, knowshow much Mike’s hiring as the Vi-kings coach means to his father.

“Mike’s dad meant a lot to a lot ofdifferent people,” Hall said. “He be-lieved that you take what you have,coach them up and stay positive, andMike picked up a lot of that from him.

“Bill was a really tough guy, buthe also was a great mentor to me. Hewants to see Mike coach this year;and if there’s anyone I know that willmake sure to get that done, it’s Bill.”

Casper leads Slammers on, off diamondBy DICK GOSS

[email protected]

JOLIET – All season long,the influence of Joliet Slam-mers shortstop Max Casper’sinfluence has been felt, on thefield and off.

Fans all summer at SilverCross Field have enjoyed see-ing the guy wearing uniformNo. 4, smiling and greetingthem before games outside themain gate.

“It’s a good way to interactwith fans,” Casper said be-fore Tuesday’s game againstGateway, the opener of theseason-ending three-game se-ries. “If they get to know you,they’re more likely to cheerfor you.”

Casper went 2 for 4 withtwo walks Tuesday as theSlammers rallied from a 4-0

deficit to beat Gateway, 17-5.Casper drove in two runs andscored three.

He was named over theweekend as the winner of theFrontier League’s Fran Rior-dan Citizenship Award.

“It’s definitely an honor,”Casper said. “They give it toone guy, and they gave it tome. I don’t feel I did anythingover the top. I just do what I doevery day. They (Slammers)gave me the opportunity.”

Slammers manager JeffIsom had Casper at Lake Erielast season and relayed atouching story.

“Max does a lot behind thescenes,” Isom said. “Therewas a grandmother whosegrandson, maybe 10 years old,had cancer. Max drove him-self there, an hour and a halfaway, and brought him some

Lake Erie Crushers’ stuff. Itmade the kid’s day.

“Later that same day, JimTressel, the old Ohio Statefootball coach, visited the kid.Max didn’t come back talkingabout it. That’s how he is. Thegrandmother talked to me andthanked us later.”

Isom nominated Casper forthe Fran Riordan Award lastseason, and the Slammers didthe same this summer.

Among his off-field endeav-ors, Casper recently visiteda camp for foster children lo-cated near Newark, where heplayed softball with the kids.He has visited several areaYMCAs and hospitals.

“It’s a great thing for Maxand the organization,” Slam-mers general manager ChrisFranklin said of the award.“Whether it’s parades or read-

ing books to kids, he’s alwaysthe first one to say yes. I’mjust really proud of him.”

Isom said he broughtCasper to Joliet “to hit .250and be one of the best defen-sive players in the league, andhe has done that.

“He’s also a leader, alwaysin the game. He coaches otherguys where to be defensive-ly. He takes a big load off myshoulders.

“Off the field, he couldn’tbe better. We want all ourguys to be involved in thecommunity, and Max hasdone that plus a lot more be-hind the scenes.”

With the Slammers trail-ing, 4-0, in the third inningTuesday night, Casper singledand scored the first run.

Then in a five-run fourth,which was highlighted by

Grant DeBruin’s three-runhomer, he singled home arun and scored one as Jolietwent ahead, 6-4. Chris Eppsignited the rally with a solohomer.

In a five-run fifth, Casperwalked with the bases full, De-Bruin singled home a run andRussell Moldenhauer singledin two.

DeBruin belted a grandslam, his team-leading 12thhomer, in the eighth, whichwas the third five-run inningof the night. That gave DeBru-in eight RBIs.

JD Dorgan had a doubleand homer. Adrian Englishhad three hits and Molden-hauer and Epps two each.

Wednesday’s game beginsat 10:05 a.m. The Thursdayseason finale is set for 7:05p.m.

There was an air aboutHalas Hall on Labor Daymorning. The feeling wasthick on the walk from theparking lot to the media room,on the practice fields and inthe locker room.

It screamed, “Now it’s allfor real.”

Bears coach Marc Trest-man greeted the media afterpractice, starting by saying, “Iguess it’s still morning. Goodmorning,” and then going onto explain: “We started todayby welcoming the team back,the 53 plus the practice squad,29 new players from last yearon the 53, so that was eyeopening to the guys.”

Was the coach unsure ofthe day part because he’dspent the weekend withoutsleep trying to cut down to 53and then add back his 10-manpractice squad?

I have to confess while Ialready had studied the rosterSaturday night and Sundayafter the final cuts, it hadn’teven occurred to me that 55percent of this team was newsince Aaron Rodgers foundRandall Cobb all alone in theend zone in December.

If it’s possible, Trestmanseemed both exhausted andinvigorated, but probably abit more in need of sleep thansleeping pills.

Although the starting of-fense returns intact from 2013,receiver Marquess Wilson andtight end Dante Rosario arethe only returning backups.

This offense features twonew quarterbacks, three newrunning backs, three new re-ceivers, one new tight end andthree new offensive linemen.

The defense is very dif-

ferent. Stephen Paea, LanceBriggs, D.J. Williams, SheaMcClellin (in a new position),Tim Jennings and CharlesTillman are the only return-ing starters.

Chris Conte and JonathanBostic are back but at themoment are not starting.

Jared Allen, JeremiahRatliff and Lamarr Houstonall are new starters on thedefensive line, and backupsWillie Young, Trevor Scott,Ego Ferguson and Will Suttonare new, too.

Christian Jones is the onlynew linebacker on the roster,but in the secondary KyleFuller, Ryan Mundy, DannyMcCray and Brock Vereen arefirst-time Bears.

Punter Patrick O’Donnelland long snapper Jeremy Cainalso are new Bears this season.

What is troubling aboutthis edition of the Bears isthat four days before the firstgame, there still are so manyunanswered questions.

Asked who his startingsafeties are, Trestman replied,“You know I think we’regoing to still wait and see.We’ve been rotating the guysaround, and we’ll talk moreabout that on Wednesday.We’ve got four guys we’vebeen rotating around, andChris [Conte] got work today,so I’d like to get another dayof practice.”

Trestman talked aboutthe improvement he and hiscoaches believe they have

seen in McClellin and Bosticin practice while acknowledg-ing there still is work to do.

When asked about the“trepidation” surroundinghis defense, Trestman wasquick to point out he didn’tshare that feeling, drew alaugh when he said “with anyword that’s more than threesyllables, I’m out of luck,” andwent on to admit they haveyet to jell as a unit on the fieldbut that he believes the talentlevel is there and they justhave to work harder everyday to get better.

Trestman went through thepreseason and training camplast year with an air of confi-dence about his offense thatmany struggled to understandbased on the apparent holes init, particularly on the offen-sive line.

It seems he knew some-thing we didn’t, as that allturned out pretty well.

Does he know somethingabout this year’s defense noone else does? Or is he justdoing the best he can with thecards he’s been dealt?

Trestman loves deflectingquestions from the media bycalling them hypothetical andexplaining he won’t deal inhypotheticals.

There are no more hypo-theticals now. Sunday againstBuffalo it’s all for real, and thefeeling I got in the Bears’ lock-er room Monday is they’reas anxious to find out what’sgoing to happen as we are.

BEARS NOTES

WHAT TOWATCHFor team, it’s now for real

WRWilson on IR, with designation to returnBy KEVIN FISHBAIN

[email protected]

The Bears placed receiv-er Marquess Wilson on theinjured reserve list with thedesignation to return.

With the open roster spot,the Bears re-signed veterancornerback Kelvin Hayden.

Wilson, who spent all off-season as the Bears’ No. 3 re-ceiver, fractured his clavicle

in practice Aug. 4. He is eligi-ble to begin practicing afterWeek 6 (Oct. 14) and can playafter Week 8.

The Bears have a bye inWeek 9, so the first game Wil-son can play is Nov. 9, theSunday night game in GreenBay against the Packers.

During an online chatwith fans on ChicagoBears.com, general manager PhilEmery said: “The bottom line

is that Marquess is a playerwho has an exciting futurewith the Bears, and one wayor another he will remainwith the team.”

By using the IR with des-ignation to return tag on Wil-son, the Bears cannot use itfor any other player who getshurt this season.

Hayden, 31, was one of thesurprising cuts Saturday af-ter he joined 39 other Bears

in sitting out the preseasonfinale. The Illinois alum andHubbard High School prod-uct missed all of 2013 with atorn hamstring.

In 2012, Hayden had 37tackles, five passes defensedand one interception. He willenter the season likely as theBears’ No. 4 corner who canplay in the slot, and he mightbe an option on special teamsas well.

1425FOOD

‘As fresh as possible’JJC to host second ‘Farm to Fork’ dinner featuring food from local growersBy DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

[email protected]

JOLIET – There’s a reasonwhy the menu for Joliet Ju-nior College’s second “Farmto Fork Market and Dinner”seems a little vague, said ChefMichael McGreal.

When working with local,fresh ingredients, it’s almostimpossible to know exactlywhat ingredients will beaccessible until close to theevent – possibly even the dayof the event, said McGreal,who chairs the JJC culinaryarts/ hospitality managementdepartment.

Of course, he added, thischallenges the skills andflexibility of both the chefsand students in a good, learn-ing-experience way.

“Our fish will be caughtthat morning to be as freshas possible. Our produce willbe picked by local farmersthat morning,” McGrealsaid. “You can’t say, ‘I want10 pounds of this variety oflettuce’ when you don’t knowwhat will be available. Toma-to farms don’t know whichvarieties will be ripe.”

Substituting an outdoorgourmet sit-down dinner inSeptember for the traditionalEpicurean in November wasa gamble when JJC’s culinaryarts department hosted thefirst one last year, McGrealsaid.

At the appetizer-onlyEpicurean, everything servedwas upscale, and nothing wasplated, McGreal said. Seatingwas limited to 100 chairs, butthe event attracted 300 people.

“We’d have people stand-ing around the whole nightholding their wine glassesand plates of food,” McGrealsaid.

McGreal had two options:Cut ticket sales by half – lessattendance would equal moreroom for chairs – or moveto a larger venue and host abigger event.

Why not, McGreal said,offer something that allowedthe community and studentsto meet local, hard-workingfarmers and learn firsthandhow their food was produced?Besides, McGreal said, noth-ing compares with perfectlyripe peaches and sweet corn,which is nearly impossible toobtain when one orders foodfrom far away.

“I’m always stressing thatthe quality of a meal is only as

good as the quality of ingredi-ents used in it,” McGreal said.

Because the event providesmoney for student scholar-ships and faculty professionaldevelopment in the JJC culi-nary arts program, the majorportion of last year’s food wasdonated, McGreal said.

Students prepared the foodin the culinary arts depart-ment and carried it outside tothe 180 waiting guests, whodined at one large, U-shaped

table, McGreal said. The sin-gle table encouraged patronsto mingle, instead of breakingaway to individual settingsand only talking to peoplethey knew, he added.

“If we needed a little extraroom, we added a chair andall the guests scooted down,”McGreal said.

This year, McGreal isanticipating 250 people. He’sstill waiting for some farmsto confirm, but he does know“Farm to Fork” will featurefresh organic trout, alongwith locally raised pork, beefand chicken. Two local brew-eries will supply the beer. Thewine is coming from Ohio,and the hard cider will befrom Michigan.

“It’s hard to get a goodselection of wine for the meal,so we had to stretch out pastIllinois for that,” McGrealsaid, “but we did stick withthe Midwest.”

It’s not just the menu that’snuanced. Last year’s inaugu-

ral “Farm to Fork” event wasa success partly due to cooper-ative weather, McGreal said,and he hopes for the same thisyear.

“It was 78 degrees, sunnywith a breeze, no mosquitoesor bees,” McGreal said.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Ernest Dimnet, a Frenchpriest, writer and lecturer whowrote “The Art of Thinking” anddied in 1954, said, “Education isthe methodical creation of thehabit of thinking.”

How true – why didn’t we thinkof that?

When I teach a class, I tryto get my students to think likebridge players, not to bid the firstthing that comes into their mindsor to play the card nearest theirthumbs.

This deal from a social game isinstructive. What do you think ofthe auction? What should happenin four hearts after West leads thespade king?

North was right to respond twoclubs, Stayman. If South had re-plied two diamonds, North wouldhave rebid two hearts, showinga weak major two-suiter with nogame aspirations. When South bidtwo hearts, though, North shouldhave passed. And South, with aminimum 15 high-card points,ought to have passed out threehearts.

In four hearts, South probablyhas to play the trump suit withoutloss. To do that, he can either cashdummy’s ace, playing West for asingleton king, or lead his queen,hoping East has a singleton jack.They are mathematically equal,but leading the queen is betterbecause West might fail to coverwith king-doubleton.

However, before that, Southwon the first trick and returnedhis second spade. Here, Westdefended perfectly, winning withhis queen and shifting to a club.However, when declarer won withhis ace and led the heart queen,West erred by playing low, so thecontract made.

Defensive thinkingcan be difficult

Dear Doctor K: I’ve heard theterm “immunotherapy” used bypeople who are discussing treat-ments for cancer and arthritis.What is immunotherapy?

Dear Reader: Immunotherapyrefers to treatments that workby enhancing or suppressing thebody’s own immune system.

In some diseases – cancer, forexample – the immune systemappears ineffective in eliminat-ing the “foreign” cancer cells.Immunotherapy is an attempt tostrengthen the immune system inits fight against the cancer.

In some diseases caused byviruses, not enough of the body’sown natural anti-viral molecules(like the interferons) are pro-duced by the body.

In still other diseases – autoim-mune diseases, for example – thedisease is caused by an immunesystem attack against the body’sown healthy tissues. In this case,immunotherapy is an attemptto quiet down the overactiveimmune system.

Immunotherapy for cancer hasrecently had some dramatic suc-cesses in treating kidney cancer,skin cancer (particularly deadlymelanoma), certain types of leuke-mia and lymphoma and certaintypes of breast cancer.

Your immune system hassome natural capacity to recog-nize and destroy cancer cells.

The problem is that it’s usuallynot strong enough to do thiseffectively. The immune systemrecognizes cancer cells becausesuch cells have unique proteins(antigens) on their outer surface.Antibodies – proteins produced bythe immune system – recognizethese antigens and tag the cancercells as foreign.

Immunotherapy strengthensthe immune response in severaldifferent ways. For example, itcan:

• Recruit more immune systemcells to attack a tumor.

• Make cancer cells morevulnerable to an attack by theimmune system.

• Change the way cancer cellsgrow.

• Coax cancer cells into behav-ing more like normal cells.

• Neutralize ways that cancercells are able to hide from theimmune system.

A good example of immuno-therapy against viral diseases isthe use of interferons producedin a laboratory against seriouschronic viral infections, such ashepatitis B and hepatitis C.

Immunotherapy against in-

flammatory autoimmune diseasesalso is at a more mature stagethan for cancer. This is particular-ly true for rheumatoid arthritis,inflammatory bowel disease andpsoriasis. In each of these diseas-es, certain molecules made by theimmune system (called cytokines)orchestrate much of the damagedone by the immune system. Newdrugs (called “cytokine-blockers”or “biologics”) can dramatically“cool off” the destructive immuneattack.

One of the most successfulforms of immunotherapy involvesmonoclonal antibodies. Theselaboratory-created antibodies pre-cisely target particular antigenson the surfaces of particular cells.When they latch onto their target,they can directly or indirectly de-stroy the cell carrying the targeton its surface.

There also are entirely newand different forms of immu-notherapy under development,some with enormous potential.After several decades of work,immunotherapy finally seemsto be on the verge of providingvaluable treatments for humandiseases.

Dr.Wallace: I’m 17 and

so is my very best friend.

We went to a party in the

summer, and she met

a guy there and started

dating him. I don’t know

what she sees in him be-

cause he is a loud mouth

and very arrogant. But

she seemed happy at

first, and I assumed they

got along pretty well.

Lately she has

seemed kind of de-

pressed, and I noticed

that he seems like he

is always ordering her

around, and she always

does what he says. I

am wondering if she

is being abused either

physically or emotion-

ally, but when I asked

her she denied it. I’ve

encouraged her to dump

him and find another

boyfriend because she

doesn’t seem happy with

him, but she told me she

couldn’t. Now I think

she might be afraid of

him. Do you think there

is any way I can find out

if she is being abused,

and what can I do to help

her? – Nameless, N.W.Indiana.

Dear Nameless: In the

booklet offered by Liz

Claiborne, “What You

Need to Know About

Dating Violence,” dating

violence isn’t defined as

an argument every once

in a while. It’s defined

as a pattern of violent

behavior that someone

uses against a girlfriend

or a boyfriend. Abuse

can cause injury, but

it doesn’t have to be

physical. It can involve

verbal and emotional

abuse, constant insults,

isolation from friends

and family, name calling

and controlling.

Dating violence can

happen to anyone at any

age, no matter what race

or religion they are.

Most violence in a

relationship takes place

when the couple is

alone. You might not see

dramatic warning signs

such as black eyes and

broken bones. Listen to

your instincts. You prob-

ably wouldn’t be worried

without good reason.

Here are some signs

to look for that might

mean your friend is in

trouble and needs your

help:

1. When your friend

and her boyfriend are

together, he calls her

names or puts her down.

2. He acts extremely

jealous when she talks to

other boys.

3. She apologizes for

his behavior and makes

excuses for him.

4. She cancels plans at

the last minute for rea-

sons that sound untrue.

5. He’s always check-

ing up on her, calling or

texting her and demand-

ing to know where she

has been and who she

has been with.

6. You’ve seen him

lose his temper when

he’s mad.

7. She seems worried

about upsetting him or

making him angry.

8. She is giving up

things that used to be

important to her, such

as spending time with

friends or other activi-

ties.

9. Her weight, ap-

pearance or grades have

changed dramatically.

These could be signs of

depression, which could

indicate abuse.

10. She has injuries

she can’t explain, or the

explanations she gives

don’t make sense.

You should have an

honest chat with your

friend’s mom. Give her

this toll-free number for

Love is Respect Hotline

My 16-month-oldgrandnephew was walking on abeach in Carmel, California, withhis mom and dad when he suf-fered burns to his feet from walk-ing across sand beneath whichwere hot coals. It will take at leastthree weeks for this dear baby’sfeet to heal from those burns.

People don’t realize that cov-ering the coals with sand hidesthem and keeps them hot for upto 24 hours! Beach fires must betreated differently from thosein a forest, where they shouldbe covered with dirt because ofthe surrounding trees. – Beach

EtiquetteDear B.E.: I’m printing your

letter not only as a warning tobeachgoers who might be usingfire pits, but also to the parents ofsmall children because hot buriedcoals can be a hidden danger totheir little ones. Because the coalscannot be seen, children some-times confuse fire pits ringed byrocks with “sandboxes,” and theresults can be tragic.

According to the Universityof California Irvine’s RegionalBurn Center, “coals should beextinguished by drenching themwith water, waiting five minutesand drenching them AGAIN.”When water isn’t available, thecoals should simply be allowed toburn out.

BookNotes: Complex emotions duringCivilWarBy RAE PADILLA FRANCOEUR

More Content Now

Constance Thompson leaves herIndiana farm and her husband Bar-tholomew to take the Union’s side in theCivil War. She has a stake in the cause,but she’s keen for a change and it’s thatmotivation that drives her to concealher gender and take up arms againstthe Confederacy. Constance becomesAsh Thompson who then becomesGallant Ash after an act of gallantrywitnessed by fellow soldiers. AuthorLaird Hunt has created a heroic, intrep-id warrior with superlative skills as asharpshooter and a survivor.

But this is not a war novel about awoman trying to pass as a man. Ash’sidentity is not the central issue, thoughit’s certainly the underlying premisefor this book. And Ash’s struggles arenot gender-based. Ash is a complex,mysterious character we never entirelytrust even though she’s speaking to usdirectly and candidly throughout “Nev-erhome.” We wonder: What aren’t weseeing? What is she withholding?

Ash passes easily for a man, trainswith other enlistees until deemed battleready at which time they all marchSouth to battle. She has a runningdialogue with her dead mother. “I won’trun,” she vows. There is somethingabout fear that Ash must test and inves-tigate.

Among the most interesting aspectsof this spare, lovely novel is the beau-tiful relationship Ash develops withher colonel and commanding officer.It’s clear he sees more of Ash thanmost have taken the time to see, and heenjoys conversing with her. Some vilifyAsh, perhaps because of her bravery,seeming good luck in battle and herwits. False accusations limit her ad-vancement.

Ash’s adventure turns horrible andharrowing when bounty hunters kid-nap her and a couple of other soldiers.An adroit chameleon and, by now,accustomed to killing, she escapes andeventually finds her way back to hercompany.

The savage war breaks everyonedown eventually. The colonel andhis handsome cousin/brother are noexception, and neither is Ash. Injuredand left for dead after yet anotherround of carnage, she frees herselffrom under a fallen tree trunk and,half dead, finds shelter and a returnto health in the home of a nurse whotakes a fancy to her. When Ash makesplans to leave and head home, thenurse betrays her and Ash is commit-

ted to a madhouse.The real story, however, is between

the lines of the narrative Ash deliversso convincingly. Ash has something toprove that’s greater even than her pow-erful love for Bartholomew. We learnabout her mother’s death and find that,in the end, there are limits most humanbeings cannot surmount.

Laird Hunt, the author, had writtena previous story about two women whopassed as male soldiers during the CivilWar. In the end, the Constance’s gender

did not determine the course of thisnarrative nearly as much as her innerstruggles – common to men and womenalike.
