One dead, one injured in shooting

By FELIX [email protected]

NEW LENOX – Three newbusinesses have lined up tobecome part of the redevelop-ment of downtown New Le-nox.

Mayor Tim Baldermannsaid he couldn’t disclose thenames, but noted one is a“nice fine dining” restaurant.They will move into an areavillage officials hope to recre-ate into a thriving downtown.

And residents will haveother amenities to look for-ward to, he said.

“The sales taxes will helpbuild a deeply-needed trainstation,” Baldermann said.

On Dec. 8, village trusteestabled a decision to tear downa landmark building that oncehoused Brun’s Tavern andRestaurant and the House ofHughes.

Village officials bought thebuilding for about $505,000and plan to demolish it tomake way for new businesses.They also plan to buy the BPgas station, a dry cleaner busi-ness and the Pit Stop bar andredevelop those properties.

The cost of acquiring theproperties, located alongRoute 30, would be about $2.8million. While the villagehad to buy the former Houseof Hughes building becauseit was owned by a bank, Bal-dermann said the others couldbe assigned to a developer toclose on them.

If they need to buy them,village officials would issue abond and pay it off after sell-ing the buildings, he said.

Sales tax and other revenuesources from the new proper-ties would pay for a new trainstation.

The village has yet to ac-quire the other properties.Baldermann said village offi-cials are doing their “due dili-

gence,” to ensure there are noissues with them. With the BPgas station, he said officialsmust make sure there are noenvironmental issues.

“As soon as we can, we willclose on those three propertiesand demolish everything, andwe are going to sell them to acouple of different developersto develop the site,” he said.

Baldermann said two de-velopers are lined up for theproject, one to tackle thewestern side of the site andthe other the eastern side. Hedeclined to name them, sincethey are awaiting in-house ap-proval to move forward withdevelopment.

He said the western partof the downtown area willhave the “biggest sales taxproducing businesses,” andthe eastern side may have an8,000-square-foot building con-taining several businesses.

Residents have shown ex-citement over a prospectivenew downtown, he said.

“They want to see the oldbuildings torn down and seesome new businesses andamenities we don’t reallyhave,” he said.

Mayor says businesses lining upfor New Lenox development

“Theywant to see the oldbuildings torn down andsee some new businessesand amenities we don’t

Plainfield ratings go upPLAINFIELD – The village’s

water and sewer revenue bondratings were upgraded thisweek, andwill save the villagealmost $900,000.Moody’s and Standard &

Poor’s ratings services both up-graded the bond ratings for thefund, according to village newsreleases. Moody’s upgraded thebond ratings, whichwas splitin two, from “Aa3” and “A1” to“Aa2” and “Aa3,” while Standard& Poor’s upgraded the ratingsfrom “AA” and AA-” to both“AA+.”The upgradesmeans the

villagewill save an estimated$890,000 over the life of the 26-year bond set to expire in 2034,according to village Directorof Management Services TraciPlekham.“The village board and staff

haveworked hard to improvethe village’s financial position,andwe’re pleased that bothMoody’s and Standard & Poor’shave recognized our hard work,”Collins said in the news release.

3COVER STORY

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

JOLIET – Construction ofthe Rialto Square Theatre’snew marquee design is well un-derway – limiting what chang-es, if any, can be done in lightof recent public outcry, thetheater’s general manager toldJoliet City Council membersMonday night.

Monday’s pre-council meet-ing gave Randy Green, thetheater’s general manager,along with residents opposedto the design, an opportunityto speak before the City Coun-cil about the downtown theatermarquee controversy.

About half a dozen resi-dents spoke out against the de-sign after Green’s presentationMonday night.

The design for the new mar-quee, first unveiled last month,includes a digital display toshowcase upcoming acts, butmany have criticized the mod-ern version, saying the new de-sign doesn’t fit with the charac-ter of the 88-year-old building.Others have concerns aboutthe space devoted to honor theparents of the donor.

Last month’s announce-ment has since prompted anonline firestorm of criticismfrom many area residents onFacebook, a request for the Illi-nois Attorney General’s Officeto determine whether the His-toric Preservation Commis-sion violated the Illinois OpenMeetings Act, a call to city offi-cials to withhold funding fromthe historic theater, and a pro-test outside the theater overthe weekend.

The vetting process for thedesign started back in 2007, buta $350,000 donation from areabusinessman Ed Czerkies onlyjust recently made the newmarquee possible, Green toldcouncil members Monday.Part of the agreement withCzerkies, he said, includedproviding a prominent placeon all three sides of the mar-

quee for him to honor his lateparents.

But that’s one design ele-ment that Ron Gruber, 56, ofJoliet deemed inappropriateMonday night, noting tax-payers should, in theory, behonored equally because theyessentially help pay for the Ri-alto’s operations when the citysets aside funding for the Joliettheater each year.

“The residents have beensupporting this theater to[the] tune of $600,000 for howmany years now? That mon-ey’s not coming out of [your]pockets. It’s coming out of tax-payers’ pockets,” Gruber saidto council members Monday.“It’s coming out of everybody’spockets, not just yours. So whydon’t we have a plaque for ev-ery taxpayer that’s donated,essentially donated, to theRialto? Wouldn’t that makesense, too?”

District 5 Councilman Ter-ry Morris asked whether there

had been any discussion to re-move Czerkies’ parents fromthe design.

Both Green and Jim Smith,chairman of the Will CountyMetropolitan Exposition andAuditorium Authority, saidit was discussed, but that anytalks he had with Czerkiesover the past few weeks haveonly been to reaffirm the Rial-to’s commitment to the current

design.“If you’d have to character-

ize it, he’s very concerned andnot pleased,” Smith said, add-ing that he found it refreshingto see the community’s passionfor the Rialto.

The donor is “certainly ex-pecting” that to remain, Greensaid.

Residents, including SherryLewandowski of Shorewood,

argued Monday that the newmarquee design should bereconsidered because she be-lieves it doesn’t complementthe theater building, which islisted on the National Registerof Historic Places.

“It is noteworthy that ourvery public objections are notwrapped around the additionof the family name per se, butthe overall drastic changes tothe marquee design, a mar-quee that has been featuredwith countless stars both bigand small, several films overthe years, and young couplesromantically photographingtheir wedding day with theirnames elegantly displayed inlights,” Lewandowski said.

Green said he has spokenwith photographers, and itwould be easy to Photoshopout the names from photo-graphs.

Others questioned thetransparency of the process,but Green said the he followedprotocol, and went to CityManager Jim Hock earlier thissummer to keep him up-to-dateon the board finding a donor.The design was reviewed bythe city’s Historic Preserva-tion Commission and did notrequire state approval becauseno state or federal funding isrequired to complete the proj-ect.

Green invited residents tothe theater’s board meetingWednesday to offer opinionson the design, but he cautionedany changes moving forwardwould greatly “depend on whatthe modifications” were.

Outside the meeting, Greensaid the company hired tobuild the new marquee hasbeen “well along in construc-tion” since the board signed offon the project in September.The project is on track to beinstalled by mid-to-late Febru-ary, he said.

The Rialto’s board will meetat 4 p.m. Wednesday in the Ri-alto Square Theatre’s auditori-um, 102 N. Chicago St.

District 202 passes 19 percent tax levy increaseBy VIKAAS [email protected]

PLAINFIELD – The Plain-field School District 202 Boardof Education approved Mon-day a 19 percent increase inthe 2014 tax levy. But officialsonly expect the Will Countyand Kendall County clerksto approve a 1.5 percent in-

crease.The levy was approved at

$250.8 million in local proper-ty taxes, including bond andinterest. The 2013 extension,or the amount the districtactually received, was $173.8million.

However, the tax levy isexpected to be closer to $176.3million, or about $2.5 million

more than the 2013 extension.The state tax cap law limits

the actual additional amountthe district can get by the less-er of 5 percent or the rate ofinflation, which is 1.5 percentthis year, district spokesmanTom Hernandez said.

“It’s a balloon levy. It’s verycommon,” Hernandez said.

Hernandez said the levy

was set at such a high rate tomake sure the district gets allthe property tax revenue itcan, pending the uncertaintywith how much the districtwill be allowed to receive.

The tax rate has yet to bedetermined and will be basedon the equalized assessed val-ue of the district.

Patricia Favela, supervi-

sor on tax extensions in theWill County Clerk’s office,said it was normal for schooldistricts to request increaseslarger than what they expectto get. But not many districtsrequest an increase as high as19 percent.

“Ultimately, they’re goingto be limited by what the lawsays,” she said.

PLAINFIELD – Dozens ofeducators once again picketedthe Plainfield School District202 board meeting during acold and rainy Monday, show-ing support for the teachersunion in contract negotia-tions.

Teachers’ main concernswith the contract contin-ue to include addressing anincreased workload due tostacking of classes and rap-id changing of programs, anemphasis on testing and stepincreases in pay for teach-ers, Association of PlainfieldTeachers President DawnBullock said.

Since October, teachershave been picketing boardmeetings, hoping to get boardmembers’ attention and edu-cate the public on how issuesteachers are facing in theclassroom are affecting thestudents.

Both Dawn Bullock, theteachers union president, andSuperintendent Lane Abrellhave said they are continuingto work in good faith on thecontract.

OverworkedEd Flores, a math teacher at

Indian Trails Middle School,said during the past coupleof years teachers have beentoo busy meeting everyone’s

needs.“We’re at the point where

we’re wearing too many hats,”he said.

In addition to these issues,Bullock said stacking of class-es have been an issue of con-tention with many teachers.

Stacking is when the dis-trict hires a teacher’s aide togain the ability to add students

to one class. That class startsto swell with more studentsthan other classes.

“We’ve proposed languagein the contract that allowsthem to stack classes, but to acertain extent,” Bullock said,adding that stacking addsstrain to one teacher’s class,while others work with fewerstudents.

Abrell said stacking savesthe district money.

“It’s a very financiallyeffective use of resources,”Abrell said, adding that the ad-ministration is currently eval-uating the impact of stackingon students and teachers.

Bullock said the union alsois advocating for a greaterstep increase in salary, mean-

ing every year of experiencewould warrant a bigger raise.

“A better salary is a waythe district can recognize ourincreased workload,” she said.

OvertestingEichelberger Elementa-

ry School fifth-grade teacherJohn Humphrey said he waspicketing because he felt therewas too much testing.

“It’s just an excessiveamount of tests,” Humphreysaid, adding that teachers ar-en’t sure where the test datais going.

Bullock said testing is oneof the bigger issues with theteachers union, and that it wasfrustrating for many educa-tors who feel tests are dictat-ing them in some way.

In response to a commentby teachers at the board meet-ing, school board member RodWestfall said he also was con-cerned about the increase intests, and that over the yearsthe school board has workedto encourage economic devel-opment to help bring moremoney into the district forteachers.

Board President RogerBonuchi spoke with picket-ing teachers before the boardmeeting about their concernswith the contract.

“It was very informative towatch the teachers who cameout and talk with them,” hesaid.

Will County committee signs offon settlement in ‘Honeybee’ case

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

WILL COUNTY – Countyofficials are closer to finalizinga settlement with a Lynwoodpolice officer falsely accused ofbeing the “Honeybee Killer” ina 2010 shooting spree.

The County Board’s Exec-utive Committee voted at itsThursday meeting to acceptits lawyers’ recommendationrelated to a possible case set-tlement, Will County BoardMember Suzanne Hart saidSaturday. The full CountyBoard – which meets later thisweek – still has to sign off onthe agreement, Hart said.

She declined to commentfurther.

A year after his releasefrom jail, Brian Dorian, the po-lice officer accused in the mur-der, filed suit in 2011 seekingmore than $1 million in dam-ages. The suit claimed countyofficials “fabricated evidenceand supplied slanderous anddefamatory information to thepress.”

The case is set for a statushearing March 13, accordingto U.S. District Court docketreports.

Dorian was arrested andcharged with murder in anOctober 2010 shooting spreewhere a man shot to deatha construction worker andinjured another man nearBeecher after asking themabout honeybees. The shooter

then drove his pickup truck toLake County, Indiana, wherehe shot and injured a farmer.

The man investigatorsbelieve to be the real killer,48-year-old Gary Amaya, wasgunned down in Decemberduring a hold-up at a tanningsalon in Orland Park.

All charges were laterdropped against Dorian afterevidence showed he was onhis computer at the time ofthe crimes and that neitherhe nor his truck matched de-scriptions given to police bywitnesses.

The Will County State’sAttorney’s Office had no com-ment on the matter, spokes-man Charles Pelkie said Mon-day.

But what if I told you I can solve almost any digestion problem; so you eat anything youwant without suffering the consequences? It’s a lot easier than you think.

If You Take Prescription Meds to Fight Bouts of Heartburn, Acid-Reflux and Constipation YOU COULD BE A WALKING TIME BOMB

ADVERTISEMENT

Look, I get it. It’s almostimpossible to worry abouteverything you eat. But if yousuffer with digestion problems,and slip up, the experience ishorrifying. Think about it…

Eat a slice of pizza andyou’re stomach twists upin knots. Take a bite of

something that “doesn’t agreewith you” and a 5-alarm !rerages in your throat.

Even the simple act of goingto the bathroom is a nightmare.You strain and strain,but just can’t go. And become so constipated that thepain doubles you over so you can’t breathe. It’s a realmess!

Chrysler Leads TheWay In FuelEfficiency Technology withNew stop/start technology

By Denise Freese

With gas prices comingdown recently, we can feelbetter about how many mileswe drive. The federal govern-ment has charged automakerswith creating vehicles thatoffer higher MPG (miles pergallon) ratings in the comingyears. New technologies havebeen discovered, and are cur-rently being applied by Chrys-ler.

One of the latest technol-ogies is a Fuel Saving EngineStop/Start feature (ESS )

You hit a speed of 15 milesor over and Brake to stop, fuelflow is cut and the engineturns off. When the brake is re-leased the engine automatical-ly restarts. “All this happenswithin .03 seconds, Eventsthat save on gas and reduceemissions” states Jim kinneyGeneral Manager of Tyson Mo-tors. “Compare it to a Hybridwithout the cost and the costof replacing batteries” StatesKinney. The technology isavailable on certain models of

the award-winning 2015 JeepCherokee and 2015 Chrysler200.

A second technology iscalled displacement on de-mand (DOD), or variable cyl-inder management. Chrysleruses this technology, calledFuel Saver Technology, onsome of its new vehicles. Itautomatically deactivates fourcylinders when the full eightcylinders are not needed.

One excellent exampleof an advancement in high-way fuel efficiency is theDodge Challenger, which, asa high-performance vehicle,offers an impressive 30 high-way mpg. Another exampleis the Chrysler 300; whenequipped with a V6 engine,both the rear-wheel-drive andall-wheel-drive versions pro-vide Best-In-Class highwayfuel economy. The Chrysler200, equipped with a 2.4L en-gine, offers up to 36 mpg onthe highway.

Political powerhouse David Garth diesBy KILEY ARMSTONG

and JONATHAN LEMIREThe Associated Press

NEW YORK – Powerful po-litical adviser David Garth,who spearheaded the creationof the modern political TVcommercial and helped electgovernors, senators and may-ors, has died at age 84.

He died Monday at his homein Manhattan after a long ill-ness, said longtime colleagueGeorge Arzt, who served asformer Mayor Ed Koch’s presssecretary.

Garth never held office butwas instrumental in shapingNew York’s government and

political process. The mayorshe helped elect – John Lind-say, Koch, Rudy Giuliani andMichael Bloomberg – served38 of the last 45 years, and hehelped Gov. Hugh Carey cap-ture office in 1974.

Artz said no one in his life-time ever talked about Garth“without putting genius infront of his name.”

“He’s probably had more ofan impact on the history of thecity since the 1960s than anyone person,” Artz said. “Thereprobably will never be anyonelike him again.”

Garth, who worked forDemocrats and some moder-ate Republicans, was known

for being fiercely competitivewith a high success rate onElection Day. He was an out-sized figure who was knownfor his salty language and be-came the basis for the politi-cal mastermind in the RobertRedford 1972 movie “The Can-didate.”

He insisted that his candi-dates speak directly to voters,often in direct-to-camera com-mercials, and admit when theymade mistakes. He ran NewYork’s first television-basedcampaign in 1965, helping lit-tle known Rep. John Lindsaycapture City Hall.

Garth helped another un-derdog, Koch, defeat Mario

Cuomo for mayor in 1977 andso impressed the vanquishedcandidate that he asked Garthto help his own gubernatorialcampaign years later.

Garth also brokered Gi-uliani’s late 2001 endorsementof Bloomberg, a political neo-phyte who was trailing in thepolls until he received theblessing of Giuliani, the outgo-ing incumbent hailed as a na-tional hero for his leadershipafter the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorattacks.

“Each time, he took on acandidate he believed in at atime when New York was incrisis,” Bloomberg said in astatement. “His success in po-

litical campaigns can be seenin his extraordinary won-loss record, but his greatestachievement is the sum of hiswork: a city and state that arestronger than ever.”

Among Garth’s other cli-ents: Governors Ella Grassoof Connecticut and BrendanByrne of New Jersey, SenatorsArlen Specter and John Heinzof Pennsylvania and MayorTom Bradley of Los Angeles.He also worked with AdlaiStevenson during his unsuc-cessful 1960 presidential cam-paign.

Garth’s funeral will be pri-vate, with a memorial serviceto be scheduled later.

1AG: After appointees,votersmust pickcomptroller

CHICAGO – Illinois AttorneyGeneral Lisa Madigan urgedlawmakers Monday to let voterschoose a replacement for thelate Comptroller Judy BaarTopinka in 2016 after outgoingGov. Pat Quinn and Gov.-electBruce Rauner make separateappointments to fill the job inthe interim.In a legal analysis, Madi-

gan said Quinn can name anappointee until Jan. 12, whencurrent terms end and newlyelected officials are sworn in.Once Rauner takes office he canpick someone to fill the full term.But Madigan cautioned thatallowing an appointee to serveall four years of an elected officeis “undemocratic” and legisla-tors should approve a specialelection for the 2016 presidentialelection year.Topinka, a Republican who had

won a second four-year term inNovember, died last week fromcomplications following a stroke.Her death created a rare situa-tion for the outgoing Democraticgovernor and incoming Repub-lican governor. Interpretationsof the Illinois Constitution andstate statute outline provisionsfor the governor to appointsomeone and special elections,but haven’t been decisive.The lack of clarity has left party

leaders bickering about nextsteps in the handoff of powerbetween Quinn and Rauner,who’ll be Illinois’ first Republicangovernor in more than a decadeand face Democratic majoritiesin the House and Senate.

2Holder: Springfield’sU.S. attorneynot biased

CHICAGO – Attorney Gener-al Eric Holder said he has no

evidence of racial bias in theprosecution of Illinois state-grantfraud charges as his friend Dr. EricWhitaker suggested last week.Holder told the Chicago Sun-

Times inMonday’s editions thathe’s not intimately familiar withthe current trial against Chicagobusinessman Leon Dingle Jr. andhis wife, Karin. They allegedlyused $3million in Illinois De-partment of Public Health grantmoney for personal use.But Holder said he knows

Springfield-based Justice Depart-ment attorneys and is confidenttheyweren’t biased.

3Report: Overcrowdingafter Dwight prisonclosing

SPRINGFIELD – Moving about1,000 female inmates froma closed prison in Dwight toanother in Logan County hasexacerbated overcrowding andnot generated meaningful costsavings, according to a reportfrom the John Howard Associ-ation.Gov. Pat Quinn ordered the

closing of the Dwight Correc-tional Center last year as a

cost-cutting move. The Chica-go-based prison watchdog groupbased its report on three visits tothe Logan Correctional Center,according to the Springfieldbureau of Lee Enterprises News-papers, which obtained a copy ofthe report that is expected to bereleased Monday.“While the Quinn administra-

tion argued re-purposing Loganwould reduce costs and createa more efficient and rehabilita-tive environment for the state’sfemale prison population, it hasexacerbated overcrowded con-ditions, damaged the agency’scapacity to address the needsof female inmates, and failedto generate meaningful costsavings,” the report said.The association found nearly

2,000 inmates are being held inthe Logan Correctional Center– the state’s main facility formedium and maximum-secu-rity female inmates – whichwas built to house about 1,100inmates. Dozens of inmatesbunk in a gymnasium, there area shortage of medical staff andnot enough beds for mentally illprisoners, the report found.

4Police charge17-year-old in teen’sfatal shooting

CHICAGO – A 17-year-old hasbeen chargedwithmurder inthe shooting death of anotherteenager duringwhat the victim’saunt says was an attempt to stealhis jacket.The Chicago Sun-Times report-

ed the 17-year-old was arrestedSunday. Three others were beingsought.Demario Bailey was killed

Saturday in the Englewoodneighborhood on the city’s SouthSide, three days before his 16thbirthday.The victim’s aunt, Michelle

Fitzpatrick, said her nephew andhis twin brother, Demacio Bailey,were walking to Demacio’s bas-ketball practice whenwould-berobbers demanded the victim’sjacket. Fitzpatrick said DemarioBailey was shot in the chest whenhewouldn’t comply, and died ashort time later.

5Thieves adopt‘crash-and-grab’tactics

CHICAGO – All the burglars

use the same audacious tactics:A vehicle crashes through astorefront in the wee hours andup to six people in dark clothingand ski masks pour out, grabbingwhatever they can with thespeed of a NASCAR pit crew.Then the thieves dash out over

the broken glass to a waitinggetaway car.Since September, at least

a dozen “crash-and-grab”burglaries have been reported atretail businesses in Chicago andthe surrounding suburbs. Sometargeted high-end businesses,including a Neiman Marcusstore on the famed MagnificentMile. Others struck less affluentlocations such as a pawn shopon the South Side and clothingstores on the far West Side.The thefts have made shop

owners nervous, and police arestill pursuing their first arrest.“Everybody’s on edge. Every-

body’s worried it’s going to hap-pen to them,” said Randy Cohen,who has been in the pawn-shopbusiness for some 40 yearsand never seen this kind of fearamong fellow business owners.

Obama, Warren emergeas potential political foilsWASHINGTON – During the

depths of the economic crisesthat consumed his first term,President Barack Obama helpedpluck a Harvard professor namedElizabethWarren out of relativeobscurity andmade her the faceof his campaign to curtail WallStreet banks.NowWarren, who parlayed

that platform into a Senate seatfromMassachusetts, is showingawillingness to take a standagainst Obama, magnifying riftsin the Democratic Party andsparking speculation about herown presidential ambitions.Despite their shared history,

Warren and theWhite Househave a political incentive in usingeach other as a foil.For Obama, creating distance

withWarrenmay be seen as atack to the center that clearstheway for striking deals withRepublicans, which is likely tobe the only way he can rack uplegislative achievements duringhis final two years in office.For Warren, splitting with

the president, particularly oneconomic issues, helps solidifyher as a populist championand perhaps opens a lane forchallenging expected Democrat-ic presidential candidate HillaryRodham Clinton.

PENNSBURG, Pa. – A mansuspected of going to threehouses in the Philadelphiasuburbs and fatally shootingsix people, including his ex-wife and her teenage niece,was at large, and prosecu-tors said investigators didn’tknow where he was or howhe was getting around.

Police recovered the cell-phone and car of BradleyWilliam Stone, who had re-cently been in court fightingwith his ex-wife over custodyof their two children. SWATteams surrounded his Penns-burg home Monday andpleaded through a bullhornfor him to surrender, butMontgomery County DistrictAttorney Risa Vetri Fermansaid it was unclear if he wasthere.

The shooting rampagestarted before dawn at thehome of Stone’s former sis-

ter-in-law in Souderton andended about 90 minutes lat-er at ex-wife Nicole Stone’sapartment in nearby Har-leysville, Ferman said.

Nicole Stone’s sister, Pa-tricia Flick, her sister’s hus-band, Aaron Flick, and thecouple’s 14-year-old daugh-ter, Nina Flick, were killedin the first wave of violence,discovered just before 8 a.m.,Ferman said. Their 17-year-old son, Anthony Flick, waspulled from the home with ahead wound and was taken inan armored vehicle and thenby helicopter to a Philadel-phia hospital for treatment.

Nicole Stone’s mother, Jo-anne Hill, and grandmotherPatricia Hill were killednext at their home in nearbyLansdale. Investigators werealerted by a hang-up call toemergency dispatchers, Fer-man said.

Nicole Stone’s neighborsat the Pheasant Run Apart-ments in Harleysville saidthey were awoken about 5

a.m. by the sounds of break-ing glass and gunshots com-ing from her apartment.They said they saw Stonefleeing with their two chil-dren and alerted authorities.

“She would tell anybodywho would listen that he wasgoing to kill her and thatshe was really afraid for herlife,” neighbor Evan Weronsaid.

The two children Stonetook from his ex-wife’s housewere safe, Ferman said.

Stone, who’s white, about5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, waslikely wearing military fa-tigues and was known to usea cane or walker, but it’s pos-sible he did not need them,Ferman said.

Harleysville, Lansdaleand Souderton are within afew miles of each other. Po-lice with armored vehiclesand rifles moved to Penns-burg after spending severalhours outside the Soudertonhome where several victimswere found.

A hostage runs to armed tactical response police officers for safety Monday after she escaped from a cafeunder siege at Martin Place in the central business district of Sydney, Australia.

Sydney cafe siege ends; 3dead, including gunman

By KRISTEN GELINEAUThe Associated Press

SYDNEY – The deadly siegebegan in the most incongru-ous of ways, on a sunny Mon-day morning inside a cheerfulcafe in the heart of Australia’slargest city. An Iranian-borngunman burst in, took 17 peo-ple hostage, and forced some tohold a flag with an Islamic dec-laration of faith above the shopwindow’s festive inscription of“Merry Christmas.”

It ended after midnight witha barrage of gunfire that lefttwo hostages and the gunmandead, four others wounded, anda nation that has long prideditself on its peace rocked to itscore.

After waiting 16 hours, po-lice stormed the Lindt Choco-lat Cafe early Tuesday whenthey heard gunfire inside, saidNew South Wales state policeCommissioner Andrew Scip-ione.

A loud bang rang out, sev-eral hostages ran from thebuilding and police swoopedin amid heavy gunfire, shoutsand flashes. A police bomb dis-posal robot also was sent intothe building, but no explosiveswere found.

“They made the call becausethey believed that at that time,if they didn’t enter, there wouldhave been many more liveslost,” Scipione said.

The gunman was identifiedas 50-year-old Man Haron Mo-nis, who once was prosecutedfor sending offensive letters tofamilies of Australian troopskilled in Afghanistan.

Prime Minister Tony Ab-bott said Monis had “a longhistory of violent crime, infatu-ation with extremism and men-tal instability.”

Scipione wouldn’t saywhether the two hostages whowere killed – a 34-year-old manand a 38-year-old woman – werecaught in crossfire, or shot bytheir captor.

One of the victims wasSydney lawyer and mother-of-three Katrina Dawson.

“Katrina was one of our bestand brightest barristers whowill be greatly missed by hercolleagues and friends” JaneNeedham, president of the NewSouth Wales Bar Association,said in a statement.

The other victim was iden-tified in Australian media asthe manager of the cafe, ToriJohnson.

Deputy Police Commission-

er Catherine Burn said threewomen were treated in hospitalfor gunshot wounds and werein stable condition. A policeofficer was treated for shotgunpellet wounds and discharged,she said.

Burn said another two wom-en were treated for “health andwelfare purposes.” AustralianBroadcasting Corp. reportedthat those women were preg-nant.

Burn said police do notknow what had motivated Mo-nis. She declined to detail hisdemands.

“This is a man who had seri-ous history of criminal offencesand a history of violence. Thiswas a man that we do believehad some extremist views andwe also believe that he was un-stable,” Burn told reporters.

She confirmed that Mo-nis was free on bail when hedied. Police were investigatingwhether he was the registeredowner of the shotgun that heused.

Monis was convicted andsentenced last year to 300 hoursof community service for send-ing what a judge called “grosslyoffensive” letters to families ofsoldiers killed in Afghanistanbetween 2007 and 2009.

17PREP SPORTS CONFERENCE SHIFT

Joliet Central,West to join SPC in 2016By DICK GOSS

[email protected]

JOLIET – Joliet TownshipHigh School athletes and fanshave good reason to be excited.

The Southwest Prairie Con-ference Board of Control votedMonday to accept Joliet Cen-tral and Joliet West into theconference. That will take ef-fect in the 2016-17 school year.

The Southwest Prairie con-sists of Minooka, Romeoville,Plainfield Central, PlainfieldSouth, Plainfield North, Plain-field East, Oswego and OswegoEast. Adding Joliet Central andWest will form a 10-team con-ference.

The Joliet schools are mem-bers of the SouthWest Subur-ban Conference and are found-ing members of that league.Most other SWS members areeast of the immediate Jolietarea.

“From a travel standpointand a local standpoint, thisall makes a lot of sense,” saidChris Olson, Joliet Townshipdirector of activities and athlet-ics. “With the improvements toRoute 59 and the distance thatwe will have to travel, this iswhere we should be.”

The Joliet schools are some-what larger than most SPCschools, but Olson said thatwas not a negative.

“The Oswego schools aregrowing and the Plainfieldschools were growing, al-though that has leveled offnow,” he said.

“The big thing is the localelement. Kids will be playingagainst kids they grew up play-ing with and against. It will begood for our fan base, too. Wehave not had good attendanceat many of our away events inthe SouthWest Suburban.”

When rumors circulatedthat this change was forth-coming, some assumed theopportunity for the Jolietschools to compete on amore-level playing field in

football was a factor.“No, it’s really not about

football,” Olson said. “Obvi-ously, we have had strugglescompeting with some teamsin football in the SouthWestSuburban, but I don’t thinkthat had anything to do withthis. The travel, that’s what ishuge.”

While football scheduleshave not been set for 2016,playing a round-robin of nineconference games would beideal and probably will be dis-

cussed, Olson said. “That way,everybody would not have to besearching for games in WeekOne and Two,” he said.

Coaches at West and Cen-tral have met with Olson, “andthey’re excited about this, es-pecially from the travel stand-point. We had a good numberof fans at the West [football]playoff game at Oswego, andthat will be our farthest trip. Iabsolutely think that will help.Our kids will get home fromroad games earlier.”

The SouthWest Suburbanbylaws would have allowedthe Joliet schools to leave nextschool year, but Olson said,“We wanted to give them time.Giving them a year and a halfwas the right thing to do.”

Before the Southwest Prai-rie principals voted to admitJoliet Central and West, theSPC athletic directors also vot-ed in favor.

“These are the schools thatwe play, anyway, when we’renot in conference games,” Ol-

son noted. “They’re often theschools that we go against inregionals and sectionals in var-ious sports – so from that stand-point, it’s attractive.

“It ’s almost a perfectmatch,” Olson added. “We’revery excited, and they’re ex-cited, too. With them playingJoliet schools regularly, theyknow they will get even better[media] coverage. We also haveawesome facilities to offer withthe two lighted, turf fields andthe field houses at each school.”

Will leave SouthWest Suburban Conference for Southwest Prairie Conference


Joliet West’s McKenna Carson comes down with the rebound in front of Plainfield South’s Antwanetta Boswell in a nonconference game Nov. 18at South. West will face South on a more regular basis beginning in the 2016-17 school year, when the Tigers and Joliet Central join the South-west Prairie Conference.

“These are the schools that we play, anyway, when we’re not in conference games. They’re often the schools that we go against inregionals and sectionals in various sports – so from that standpoint, it’s attractive.”

By JEFF [email protected]

CHICAGO – Making his firstpublic comments since Bears of-fensive coordinator Aaron Kromeradmitted he was a source for a na-tional media report criticizing quar-terback Jay Cutler, general man-ager Phil Emery called Kromer’scomments “a mistake of humanemotion.”

Speaking to WBBM AM 780 be-fore Monday night’s game againstthe Saints at Soldier Field, Emerysaid he was angry, frustrated andupset about Kromer’s comments toNFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport.

“It was a mistake that had per-son-to-person and person-to-teamramifications, and it was made bya key member of our team,” Emerytold the radio station. “At the end ofthe day, Marc [Trestman] made thedecision to let Aaron’s admissionand his apology stand and decidedto move forward from there, andthat’s what we’ve done as a team.”

Kromer, Cutler and Trestmanall addressed the matter Friday.Kromer and Trestman declined forthe most part to get into specifics,saying the matter was being han-dled internally. Neither Emery orchairman George McCaskey spokeabout the incident.

During Monday night’s pregame

interview, Emery said he had tostep back from the situation and al-low the “emotions of those events toquell down a little bit” in order todecide what was best for the team.

While Emery said being a sourcefor a media story wasn’t uncom-mon, he didn’t like the way thingsplayed out especially consideringthe struggles the Bears have facedthis season. He said the incident hada “negative impact” on the Bears.

Emery also said he respected theway Trestman handled the situationand its aftermath. Players – includ-ing Cutler and running back MattForte – said Friday they wouldn’thave known about Kromer’s com-ments without him apologizing infront of a meeting room with the of-

fense. Last week, Trestman declinedto indicate whether he was in theroom for the apology.

Emery said his decision to allowTrestman to manage the situationis based on how Emery’s contract isset up and on how the Bears are setup, allowing matters to be handledat the lower level first before it be-comes one take on by management.

“The venting by a coach and theway it was brought about and theapology was – surprising,” Emerysaid Monday night. “And, again, thatbrought a lot of anger. However, wehave a lot of system in place to dealwith adversity. I trust our system.It’s a system in which we let emo-tions subside and we work throughthe decision process or all the details

that anything would entail, in termsof an issue. It also allows us to treateverybody with respect.”

Emery indicated that Kromerwould remain the team’s offensivecoordinator for the remaining threegames. It’s a decision that Emerysaid he respects. He joined Trest-man in saying the Bears were fo-cused on the final three games ofthe season.

“A mistake was made; so whenyou make mistakes, you have tolearn from them,” Emery said.“And if you learn from them, youwill grow. You will move in a posi-tive direction. And if we do that asa team, we will earn the trust of ourfans and earn the respect of our fansmoving forward.”

Offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer

More offensive woes after tumultuousweekBy ARTHUR ARKUSH

[email protected]

CHICAGO – The Bears offensefollowed up a dysfunctional week atHalas Hall – in which the offensivecoordinator tearfully apologized tothe entire room for making anony-mous comments to NFL Networkabout Jay Cutler – with a perfor-mance worthy of further tears fromAaron Kromer.

The Bears went into intermissiontrailing 14-0 after being held score-less in the first 30 minutes for thefourth time in the past eight games.Cutler increased his league-leadingtakeaway total to 24 by throwing in-terceptions on Chicago’s first andlast drives of the half, adding a thirdin the third quarter, when the Bearstrailed by three touchdowns andhad just 114 total yards compared toNew Orleans’ 332.

All this came against the NFL’s31st-ranked defense, coming off aseason-high 41 points allowed to apedestrian Carolina offense.

Cutler’s first interception cameon third-and-8, a throw behind Mar-tellus Bennett, who tipped the ballinto the waiting hands of Saints cor-nerback Patrick Robinson. His nexttwo came on downfield pass attempts

to Marquess Wilson and AlshonJeffery, respectively. Wilson didrespond in the second half with hisfirst career touchdown, a one-yarderto halt New Orleans’ shutout bid.

The Bears’ only first-half posses-sion in New Orleans territory in-cluded a loss of two yards on a MattForte run, then a pair of sacks takenby Cutler. On the second sack, bySaints outside linebacker JuniorGalette, Bears LT Jermon Bushrod’sfrustrations temporarily boiledover. He let Galette by with an ap-parent screen play developing, butCutler didn’t get rid of the ball, andBushrod appeared to direct someanimated body language in Cutler’sdirection.

The Bears actually featured theoffensive balance all of Chicago hasbeen pining for, with 12 rushes com-pared to 14 Cutler dropbacks in thefirst half. But the result was anotherhalf that ended with boos rainingdown from the sparse Soldier Fieldcrowd, before an ironic fireworksdisplay at halftime provided thelone sparks for the home team.

Not that tight end: The Bears useda combination of Kyle Fuller andRyan Mundy to try to limit the dam-age of All-Pro tight end Jimmy Gra-ham, who appeared unfazed while

producing just his second 100-yardgame of the season. Worse, a de-fense that came in having allowed 11touchdowns to opposing tight endssurrendered two more – to backupJosh Hill.

Hill started off the Saints scor-

ing with an 8-yard touchdown onthe first play of the second quar-ter. Christian Jones was sucked inby the play-action fake from DrewBrees, which allowed Hill to escapefrom the backfield into the flat to gountouched for the score.

Hill’s second touchdown, on NewOrleans’ second half opening drive,was nearly identical, though RyanMundy was also in the area of Jones,as both players appeared torn be-tween covering Hill and fellow tightend Ben Watson.

Third-phase failures: Even on anight when Marc Mariani had sev-eral strong kick returns and PatO’Donnell had arguably his bestgame as a pro, an embarrassingbotched fake punt is what will be re-membered most.

Facing fourth-and-3 at their own39-yard line, the Bears called a di-rect snap to Danny McCray. Theproblem – in addition to McCraycoming up a yard short of convert-ing – was that Joe DeCamillis’ unitonly had 10 men on the field.

Earlier in the half, on a botchedSaints field goal attempt, Jared Al-len gave New Orleans new life bydrawing a holding penalty. But theSaints failed to capitalize on Allen’smiscue.

Senorise Perry drew his fifthspecial teams flag of 2014, this onea holding penalty on the openingkickoff.

GIRLS BASKETBALL: LINCOLN-WAY WEST 61, LEMONT 54

Lincoln-WayWest outlastsLemont to improve to 8-0

By CURT [email protected]

LEMONT – Lincoln-WayWest’s girls basketball teamremained perfect on the sea-son, although Lemont did itsbest to try to bring the win-ning streak to a halt.

The youthful Indians tooka one-point lead into the finalquarter, but the Warriors re-gained the lead and were ableto maintain it to capture a 61-54 nonconference victory.

West (8-0) moved in frontfor good early in the finalquarter when Dani Morgan(25 points) hit a layup andthen made a 3-pointer to builda 55-50 advantage.

Emily Atsinger (18 points)added a layup and two freethrows to stretch things to59-53, and Lemont (4-6) wasunable to get any closer thanfour points back after that.

“Lemont is always well-coached, and they play hard,”Warriors coach Ryan Whitesaid. “I thought that theyplayed their rear ends off to-night and gave us everythingthat we wanted. Anytime thatyou can go on the road and geta victory, we’ll take it.

“All season, we’ve beenable to create turnovers andget the easy baskets; but for

the most part, Lemont han-dled our pressure pretty well.We did have stretches wherewe were able to wear themdown a little bit. Any one ofsix kids can lead us in scor-ing on a given night. Whenwe’re getting turnovers andknocking shots down, we canbe tough to beat.”

Things weren’t lookingall that great for West in theearly going as the Indiansjumped out to a 19-12 lead. ButStephanie McDonald made alayup at the buzzer to spark aWest rally that tied the gameat 19 early in the second quar-ter.

West outscored Lemont,8-3, to give it a 35-31 cush-ion at the half. But the hostssurged back in front in thethird quarter and thingsstayed tight for most of the re-mainder of the contest.

“At the end of the first andsecond quarters, we let thembring the ball the length of thecourt with less than five sec-onds and score – and realis-tically, that was pretty muchkind of the difference in thegame,” Indians coach Bill Bo-zue said. “We just need to beable to take care of the ball alittle better.

“We started three soph-omores and a freshman, so

I think we were just a littlenervous. As soon as they getcomfortable, they’ll be able topress-break better. The fewtimes that we did that, we hadpeople who were wide open.We have really good kids whoare also real good studentsand they work hard. They justneed to get comfortable on thecourt.”

Leading the way for theIndians was Ali Kramer, whoscored 16 points. MarissaDyer added 12 points, EmmaBozue tossed in 11 points,Shannon O’Donnell contrib-uted nine points, and QuinnShereck had seven points.

The Warriors, who closeout the 2014 part of theirschedule at the Ottawa Hol-iday Tourney, also receivedseven points apiece from De-ven Bax and Courtney O’Don-nell.

“We played as a team, andwe toughed it out,” Atsingersaid. “We had a lot of energycoming into the second half.Our 8-0 start has been reallyexciting. We get along reallywell, and that shows on thecourt. Since we’d played witheach other last year, we knoweach other better and knowwhere we’re at as a team. Ithink that we have a big fu-ture.”

Streaking Hawks top Bulls,win their 10th in 11 games

Lester hopes to endcentury-plus drought

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ATLANTA – Al Horfordscored 21 points, includinga huge jumper with justunder a minute remaining,and the streaking AtlantaHawks won for the 10thtime in 11 games with a 93-86 victory over the Bulls onMonday night.

The Hawks led most ofthe way, but never by morethan 10 points. After TajGibson’s dunk with 1:13 re-maining brought the Bullsto 87-84, Horford got loosefor a 19-footer on the wing

and knocked it down.Pau Gasol followed his

own miss to make it 89-86 with 23.7 seconds left,giving the Bulls one morechance. Jimmy Butlermade a huge defensiveplay, leaping high in theair to stuff a pass from KyleKorver. The Atlanta playerrecovered from his mis-cue, getting his hands onthe ball, too, as both play-ers tumbled to the court toforce a jump ball.

Butler won the tip, butPaul Millsap snatched theball away for Atlanta.

By ANDREW SELIGMANThe Associated Press

CHICAGO – Jon Les-ter said he believes in theCubs’ plan and is ready totry to helpbring themtheir firstc h a m p i o n -ship since1908. Lestersaid “we ful-ly buy in.”

A three-time All-Star who won twoWorld Series with Bos-ton, he was introduced ata news conference Mon-day and presented KerryWood’s old No. 34.

Lester agreed to a $155million, six-year contractwith the Cubs at the wintermeetings last week that setbaseball records for largest

signing bonus and biggestupfront payment.

C u b s P r e s i d e n t o fBaseball Operations TheoEpstein said this “reallymarks the start of a transi-tion for the Cubs.”

Lester gets a record $30million signing bonus, ofwhich $15 million is due byApril 1, $2.5 million eachby Dec. 31 in 2018 and 2019,and a final $10 million in-stallment by Sept. 15, 2020.

He gets salaries of $15million next year, $20 mil-lion each in 2016 and 2017,$22.5 apiece in 2018 and2019 and $15 million in 2020.There is a $25 million mutu-al option for 2021 with a $10million buyout, and the op-tion would become guaran-teed if Lester pitches 200 ormore innings in 2020 or 400or more in 2020-21 combined.

THE FIRSTAMENDMENT

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

The Herald-News Editorial BoardBobWall, Denise Baran-Unland,

Hannah Kohut, Bob Okonand Kate Schott

Topinka was the state’s most human politicianAs you already know,

Comptroller Judy Baar Topin-ka passed away last week.

Topinka had a stroke themorning of Dec. 9, but that’snot what killed her. In fact, bythe afternoon, she announcedshe was going to walk to therestroom. Her chief of staff,Nancy Kimme, told her not totry because she was paralyzedon her left side. In mocking de-fiance, Topinka started kickingher no-longer paralyzed leg.

By early evening, medicalstaff told Topinka she’d be outof the hospital in a few daysand then would need threeweeks of rehabilitation. The in-destructible Topinka appearedto have won again, just as shedid after she fell, broke her hipand badly injured her backafter giving a speech in 2012.The accident slowed her down,but it never stopped her, neversilenced her, never broke herspirit, never stopped her fromrunning for re-election.

What finally felled Topinkawas completely unexpect-ed. Hours after her speedy

recovery, Topinka fell asleep.A massive blog clot somehowwithstood her blood-thinningmedication and got around aclot trap installed beneath herrib cage and entered her lung.

The end came quickly.In a matter of seconds, we

lost not only one of our state’sstrongest voices for financialprudence, its most consistentlysuccessful female statewideelected official, its most pro-union, pro-gay rights Republi-can, but also its most humanpolitician.

My brother, Doug, metTopinka when he was with meat an event. Doug posted thison his Facebook page the dayshe died: “She was the firststatewide elected official I evermet that I thought, ‘Hey, she’sjust a regular person like therest of us.’”

Judy only talked down to

dunderheads. Everyone elsewas treated like an old friend,and she just had that way abouther that you knew she meant it.

I once had lunch with Judyin her state Senate district. Shetook me to a local Bohemianplace, and I barely got to talkto her. She knew, by name, justabout everyone there. Peopleliterally lined up to shake herhand and chat with her the en-tire time we were there. She’dhug them, ask about theirchildren, their aunts, theircousins, mostly by name. Andshe never lost that smile, evenwhile she was eating.

She often told stories aboutwhen she served in the IllinoisHouse during the height ofthe Equal Rights Amendmentdebate. Ultraconservativewomen, she’d humorouslyrecall, would often grab herarm, fall to their knees andpray for her.

What did you do? I asked.“I let them pray!” the ERAsupporter hooted. She thankedthem for their prayers andcontinued on her merry way.

Topinka was elected to theIllinois Senate in 1984, afterfirst building a House constit-uent services program unlikealmost anywhere else. Herphone number always waspublic, and she would get callsat her home at all hours, oncefrom a constituent with a catup her tree during the middleof the night. She served notonly her own constituents butalso those who lived in theneighboring district repre-sented by former DemocraticSenate President Phil Rock,who often was too busy withthe affairs of state to handlemundane constituent requests.

Born to immigrant par-ents, Topinka graduated fromNorthwestern University’sMedill School of Journalism.She went on to write a columnfor the Berwyn Cicero Lifenewspaper called “Let’s Talk.”Former Rep. Jack Kubik, whoonce represented half of Judy’sdistrict, said it was the most-read column in his family’snewspaper. It was all aboutpolitical stuff that nobody else

was writing about. The two ofus were a natural fit.

I first encountered Judy notlong after I was hired as Han-nah Information’s Statehousecolumnist in 1990. She was fas-cinated by the company’s “newwave” technology and my “al-ternative” form of journalism,and her Senate office quicklybecame my second home.

We both were “nobody whatnobody sent,” and we reveledin it. Topinka was elected toher first House term over theopposition of the local partybosses. I started writing aboutStatehouse politics for a littletechnology startup.

Few would talk to me backthen because I wasn’t anybody.But Judy helped teach me howto be successful in this crazybusiness. She also taught meto treat strangers and acquain-tances like old friends, becauseone day they could be.

I loved that woman.

VIEWS

Saying ‘Merry Christmas’shouldn’t offend anyoneTo the Editor:I’m sick and tired of being politically cor-

rect. So this year, instead of greeting otherswith “Happy Holidays,” I’m going to say,“Merry Christmas!”I’m sure I’m going to offend practically ev-

eryone, but no way am I going to apologize.I have gone out of my way in the past to betolerant of just about anyone who opposesthe “Merry Christmas” greeting. No more.I think being tolerant of other people’s be-

liefs is a good thing, but that doesn’t meanI have to apologize for what I believe. Themain message of Christmas is one of peace,love and good will. I fail to see how that canbe offensive to anyone.Oh, I forgot to mention the real reason

for the holiday – to celebrate the birth ofJesus. And for Americans who know theirhistory, we need to remember that religiousfreedom was one of the values cherished

by our founding fathers. In our attempt toavoid offending others, we have lost ouridentity as a nation.I’m also annoyed by all the alleged holiday

songs they play nonstop at themall andjust about everywhere else. “Grandma GotRun Over by a Reindeer” is not my idea of aChristmas song. I miss hearing the beautifulChristmas hymns I grew up singing such as“Away in aManger,” “Silent Night” and “Joyto theWorld.” But wewon’t hear any songsremotely religious in any public location sinceAmerica does not want to offend anyone.I totally understand the separation of

church and state, but America has goneway overboard in its interpretation. We areso worried about what other people thinkthat we’re afraid to say anything of anyimportance.Merry Christmas to all! If I’ve just annoyed

you with my greeting, too bad.

Common ailment has painless solutionJoliet and Morris gastroenterologist offers new hemorrhoid treatment

By JEANNE MILLSAPShaw Media correspondent

JOLIET – About half of all peoplehave noticeable hemorrhoids by age50, and they often occur earlier, espe-cially during pregnancies, in weight-lifters and in those with frequentconstipation or diarrhea who strainduring bowel movements.

“It’s a very common problem over-all,” Joliet and Morris gastroenterol-ogist Dr. Richard Rotnicki said. “It’spretty much a function of walkingupright, because of gravity.”

It’s such a common problem thatRotnicki said it’s really not a taboosubject for conversation anymore.And now, he said, there is a newtreatment that’s practically painless.

It’s called bipolar radiofrequencyhemorrhoidectomy. Rotnicki hasused the procedure on patients forabout a year and said the results havebeen very good.

“When they leave, most are pain-free,” Rotnicki said of his patientswho have received the treatment. “Itgives them a 70 to 80 percent decreasein symptoms.”

Rotnicki said the procedure is themost gentle of the hemorrhoid treat-ments, and it can be done along witha routine colonoscopy in a hospital’sendoscopy suite.

Bonnie Lardi of South Wilmingtonhad the procedure in October andsaid it was not a bad experience.

“The colonoscopy preparationwas the worst, but the procedure wasnothing,” Lardi said. “I felt nothing.I went in on a Friday and was back atwork on a Monday.”

Lardi said she hadn’t much dis-comfort from her hemorrhoids, butshe was having bleeding that wasbecoming more frequent.

“I probably had them before I hadmy kids,” Lardi said. “I kind of knewthey were there, and I just put it off.”

Lardi said she had a bit of bleedingfor about a week after the procedure,but that was it. She’s fine now.

Rotnicki described hemorrhoidsas essentially varicose veins on therectum. Those veins and tissuesare there to hold stool back, and tocushion the sphincter muscles whenpeople empty their bowels, the Ameri-can Gastroenterological Associationstates on its website.

When those veins and tissue swell

and bulge, the condition is calledhemorrhoids. Straining can causethem, as can pregnancy, sitting toolong on the toilet, running, obesityand liver disease.

The National Institutes of Healthat www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov classifieshemorrhoids into four grades.

Grade I is when they bleed but donot protrude out of the anal canal.Grade II is when they protrude outof the body on defecation but go backinside afterward. In Grade III, the

hemorrhoids require manual place-ment back inside the body. In themost severe stage, Grade IV, the hem-orrhoids are permanently outside theanal canal.

Rotnicki said there are many waysto treat hemorrhoids, including someat-home methods he advises to some.Getting enough fiber and water in thediet is important no matter what thestage, he said.

The recommended amount of fiberintake per day is 30 to 35 grams, he

said, and most people get only 15 to 20grams.

If it’s difficult to get enough fiberin the diet, Rotnicki said he’ll oftenrecommend a fiber supplement, suchas MiraLAX or Metamucil clear.

For discomfort, he sometimesrecommends hot sitz baths.

It’s important people with bleedinghemorrhoids realize the blood maybe coming from something else, suchas rectal cancer. That’s why Rotnic-ki recommends anyone with rectalbleeding visit their physician.

There are several surgical and pro-cedural treatments for hemorrhoids,including banding and surgery, butRotnicki said the bipolar radiofre-quency hemorrhoidectomy is theleast invasive and quite effective,and it can be performed on patientsin Grades I and II. Banding is betteron Grade III hemorrhoids, he said,and surgery normally is required forGrade IV.

The new procedure can be done atthe end of a regular colonoscopy or onits own. The scope uses radiofrequen-cy waves to coagulate the problemtissue around the anal canal, whichthen dies off later on its own.

Furthermore, the new procedure isquick, Rotnicki said.

Hemorrhoids may return, how-ever, as they might with any otherprocedure, if a person still strainsfrom chronic constipation or fromother situations.

Ways to prevent hemorrhoids:Pass bowel movements as soon as possi-

ble after the urge occurs.Avoid straining during a bowel movement.Be active. Move around, walk and exercise

to help move the stools through your body.Stay regular by eating enough fiber and

drinking enough fluid. Most Americans onlytake in 13 grams of fiber in their daily diet –half of what is recommended. Adding fiberto your diet helps to produce stools that aresofter and easier to pass.Stay hydrated. Be sure you’re taking in the

recommended amount of liquids throughoutthe day.

What is TMJ (Temporoman-dibular Joint) Disorder?

By Denise Freese

The temporomandibular jointis a hinge that connects the jawto the temporal bones of theskull, which are in front of eachear. It lets you move your jawup and down and side to side, soyou can talk, chew, and yawn.TMJ Disorder occurs when thereare problems with the jaw andthe muscles in the face that con-trol it.

“Treatment begins with athorough examination and diag-nosis. This will sometimes in-clude a CT scan and MRI of thetemporomandibular joint in theopened and closed position,”advises Dr. David Rubis, GeneralDentist.

An injury to the jaw, the joint,or the muscles of the head andneck, according to webmd.com,can lead to the disorder. Otherpossible causes include grindingor clenching the teeth, arthritisin the joint, and stress, whichcan cause tightening of the fa-cial and jaw muscles.

TMJ disorder often causessevere discomfort and pain. Itcan be temporary, or can lastfor many years. It’s possible toaffect one or both sides of theface. It’s more common in wom-

en, and among people aged 20to 40.

Webmd.com states variouscommon symptoms of TMJ Dis-order:

• Pain or tenderness in theface, jaw joint area, neck andshoulders, and in or around theear when chewing, speaking, oropening the mouth wide

• Jaws that get stuck, or“lock” in the open- or closed-mouth position

• Clicking, popping, or grat-ing sounds when moving the jawjoint.

• A tired feeling in the face• Trouble chewing, or a

strange feeling as if the upperand lower teeth don’t fit togeth-er properly

• Facial swelling• Toothaches, headaches,

neck aches, dizziness, earaches,hearing problems, upper shoul-der pain, and ringing in the ears(tinnitus).

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Yves Saint Laurent said, “A goodmodel can advance fashion by 10years.” Was he thinking of someone inparticular?

A good bridge player can advancehis score if he wins 10 tricks whenplaying in a four-level contract – asSouth is in today’s deal.

How should South plan the play infour hearts after West leads a trump?

Declarer must assume trumps are3-2 -- and a low-trump lead almostalways means that they will be. Withlosers in spades, hearts and diamonds,it looks like South needs the clubfinesse to work -- but, as we shall see,that is a mirage.

The simple – and here unsuccess-ful – approach is to win the first trick,cross to dummy’s diamond king andrun the club queen. However, Westwins with his king and returns hisremaining trump. Declarer can take thetrick, cash his diamond ace and twoclub winners (discarding a diamondfrom dummy), and ruff a diamondin the dummy. East, though, calmly dis-cards a spade. When South continueswith the ace and another spade, Easttakes the trick, cashes his high trumpand leads a black-suit winner. Declarerruffs, but West wins the last trick withhis high diamond for down one.

Instead, South should go for these10 tricks: one spade, three hearts(the ace, king and a long trump), twodiamonds, two clubs and two ruffs. Attrick two, declarer should play a spadeto, say, dummy’s jack. East wins andleads another trump, but South takesthe trick, plays a spade to dummy’sace, ruffs a spade, returns to dummywith a diamond, ruffs the last spadeand concedes a club. He must fashionthose 10 tricks.

Ten tricks needed,so count to 10

Dear Doctor K: I haveosteoarthritis in my hand.Could you recommendsome drug-free treatmentsto relieve the pain?

Dear Reader: Osteoar-thritis causes stiffnessand pain in the joints. Itdevelops when cartilage –the connective tissue thatcovers the ends of bones– deteriorates. In a joint,the ends of two or morebones come together. Thesofter and more flexiblecartilage that covers theends of the bones acts asa cushion. If the cartilagewere not there, the hardbones would grind againsteach other.

Over time, the spacebetween bones narrowsand the surfaces of thebones change shape. Thiscan eventually damage thejoint. In the hand, the mostcommon places for osteoar-thritis are the joint at thebase of the thumb and thelast joints before the tip ofthe fingers.

Here are some non-drugtreatments you can tryinstead of, or in additionto, more traditional treat-ments:

• HEAT. Moist heat canhelp raise your painthreshold and decreasemuscle spasms. Simplyapply a warm, moist towelto your sore joint. You canalso buy gel packs thatcan be warmed up in themicrowave.

• TOPICAL TREATMENTS.Many topical creams andgels, such as Bengay andAspercreme, can be rubbeddirectly onto affected jointsto temporarily reduceinflammation and pain.These products often con-tain salicylate, a relativeof aspirin, plus menthol oreucalyptus. Creams andlotions containing capsa-icin (an extract of pepper)can also help relieve pain.The capsaicin producesa slightly unpleasantsensation that “distracts”the brain from payingattention to the painsignals from your arthriticjoint. You need to use theseproducts several times aday, because their effectsare temporary.

• SPLINTS. Hand splints

can provide pain relief,improve function and re-align the joint of your handif needed. Splints come ina wide range of materialsand forms.

• EXERCISES AND JOINTPROTECTION. An occupa-tional therapist (OT) canrecommend devices thatcan help if your handhas lost some strength orfunction. Examples includelong-handed grippers,electric can openers ordoorknob turners. An OTcan also suggest exercisesto improve your function.(I’ve put an illustration onmy website, askdoctork.com, of an exercise thatmay help to improve range-of-motion in your hands.)When possible, try to moveyour hand when you’refeeling less pain or arepain-free, and rest it whenpain intensifies.

• PARAFFINWAX BATH ANDHEAT TREATMENTS. Sometimestherapists recommend awarm paraffin wax bathto temporarily relievesymptoms of hand osteoar-thritis. You dip your handsinto wax melted in an elec-tric appliance that main-tains a safe temperature.After the wax hardens, thetherapist wraps the treatedarea in a plastic sheet andblanket to retain the heat.Treatments take about 20minutes, after which thewax is peeled off. Paraffinbath kits are also availablefor home use.

If these non-drugtreatments don’t give yousufficient relief, considerover-the-counter painmedicines. Particularly ifhand pain is reducing theamount of time you canspend at something youlove – like gardening orplaying the piano – takeaction. Above all, don’t justdo nothing!

Dear Abby: I’m so upset.I just found out my sonwas molested by one of hisolder cousins.

“Ryan” didn’t want meto know because he wasafraid of how I would react.

Ryan is 19 and a veryprivate person. I want toconfront the person whodid this to him and presscharges.

What’s upsetting is Itried hard to protect mychildren.

I thought I was doingeverything right by havingmy boys let their friendscome and spend the nightat my home instead ofletting them stay at theirfriends’ homes.

I want Ryan to go tocounseling to understandhe did nothing wrong, thatit wasn’t his fault. Pleasehelp me to help my son. Ipartly blame myself for notknowing.

How did I let this hap-pen? I am their mother. Iam supposed to keep themsafe. Please tell me what todo. – Confused Mother inNorth Carolina

Dear Mother: Stay calmand understand that youhave done nothing wrong.This is no reflection uponyou as a parent. Whilemany people still believethat child molesters arecreepy strangers who preyon little kids, the truth isthe majority turn out to befamily members or closefriends one would neversuspect.

Your son may be embar-rassed or blame himself forwhat his cousin did. Reas-sure him that when some-one older acts out against ayounger one as his cousindid, that is “coercion” -- animbalance of power andexperience.

Explain that it would bebeneficial for him to talk toa therapist.

It might also benefit thecousin to do so because hemay need to learn aboutboundaries.

Whether the cousin canbe arrested or prosecutedmay depend upon how longago this occurred, and howold the kids were at the

time it happened.Dear Abby: I feel like I

am not appreciated at myhusband’s family’s holidaygatherings.

Everyone brings a dish,while I get assigned the“leftover” – which is usual-ly a salad.

I told my husband Iwanted to bring the dessertone year, so I made ahomemade pie. His sisterproceeded to bring twostore-bought pies in addi-tion to her dish. No one ateany of my pie except formy husband and me. Evenwhen I bring the salad, noone eats it, either.

I may not be the bestcook, but I am a good oneand my pie was perfect.Because this has happenedmore than once, I feeldiscouraged about contrib-uting, and I have told thatto my husband.

Do you have any adviceabout how I can contrib-ute without feeling leftout? – No Name, Please, InMissouri

Dear No Name: Yes. Under-stand that when familiesgather for holiday dinnersyear after year, they oftenwant particular foods pre-pared in the way to whichthey are accustomed.

While you may want tocontribute, you may not beable to do that unless youare hosting the party.

From now on, unlessyou are asked to do other-wise, bring with you onlya smile, your appetite, andflowers or a bottle of wine.If you do, there will be few-er hurt feelings and you’llsave yourself some work.

To My Jewish Readers: Theeight days of Hanukkahbegin at sundown. HappyHanukkah, everyone! Maywe all enjoy a joyous festi-val of lights.
