JOLIET – An outspokencritic of the Rialto SquareTheater’s new marquee ad-dressed the mayor duringMonday night’s pre-councilmeeting, asking why she isn’tbeing considered over othercandidates for appointmentto the Rialto’s governingboard.

“I sent you my resume. …You didn’t call me. You sentme a rejection letter,” saidMary Beth Gannon, a long-time Joliet resident.

Mayor Tom Giarrante’sletter, which Gannon postedon Facebook, stated he re-ceived her resume but thathe has “been in contact withtwo Joliet residents that hadcontacted [him] earlier in theyear.” He then wrote he wouldkeep her resume on file for fu-ture reference.

There’s only one vacant

seat on the Will County Met-ropolitan Exposition and Au-ditorium Authority, with Gi-arrante having appointed twomembers to five-year termslast month.

Tom Thanas, former citymanager and longtime Jolietattorney, is one of the inter-ested candidates for the Rialtoboard, and he reached out sev-eral months ago, Giarrantesaid Monday night.

But Giarrante declinedMonday to name the otherperson who submitted a re-sume.

“You produced one name,apparently. Tom Thanas.Who’s the other one?” Council-man Larry Hug asked duringthe meeting. When Giarran-te refused, Hug responded,“Thanks for the transparen-cy.”

When asked by a Her-ald-News reporter after themeeting why he won’t offer upthe person’s name, Giarrante

said: “You’ll get transparencyif and when I bring his nameup.”

Jim Smith, chairman of theRialto’s governing board, toldThe Herald-News he does notknow the name of the thirdperson.

Rialto redesignGiarrante’s appointments

come on heels of controver-sy surrounding the Joliet the-ater’s new marquee design.

Many residents have criti-cized the new design, first un-veiled in November, saying itdoesn’t fit with the 88-year-oldbuilding’s character and thatthe space on three sides of themarquee to be devoted to hon-or the donor’s parents is tooprominent.

Last month Ed Czerkies,who provided the funds forthe marquee, issued a lettersaying he would be happy totake his $350,000 donationback, citing the backlash he’s

received.But Smith on Monday told

council members Rialto offi-cials have submitted a rede-sign of the marquee to Czer-kies for consideration. But thechanges are minor, he said,and regard the font.

“Quite frankly, the ball’s inhis court,” Smith said.

“The revised version, wethink, is much more tasteful,”Smith added.

Meanwhile, Gannon saidmembers of “The Rialto Be-longs to the People” Face-book group has asked theWCMEAA board to put a six-month hold on constructionuntil residents can raise themoney need for a new mar-quee.

“We can do it. If Doro-thy Mavrich can do it, whycan’t the rest of us?” Gannonsaid. As of Monday night, thegroup’s GoFundMe site hasraised $600 since going liveabout three weeks ago.

Plainfield approves sign variancesBy VIKAAS [email protected]

PLAINFIELD – Drivers maysee new, larger signs for sever-al businesses along Route 59after village trustees approvedsign variances Monday.

Sign variances for Adven-tist Healthcare Plainfield Med-ical Campus, Ross Dress forLess and the Vintage HarvestRetail Center were passed af-ter brief discussions about howeach applicant needed bettersignage.

Trustees and village staffalso reminded residents of sev-eral measures the village andresidents need to take to pre-pare for the cold weather com-bined with winter storms thisweek.

SignageAdventist Healthcare, locat-

ed at 15720 S. Route 59, request-ed a variance to the village’szoning code so it could build aground monument sign.

The issue came up at theDec. 15 board meeting, andtrustees directed the village at-torney to draft an ordinance al-lowing a 64 square foot groundsign up to 15 feet in height.

Trustee Bill Lamb first sup-

ported limiting the sign to 13feet in height at that meetingbecause he wanted to see thesign level with signs from busi-nesses across the street, whichare at a lower ground level. Buthe said he supported a sign upto 15 feet high Monday.

“They do need the biggersign,” Lamb said, adding thatthe 15 feet is just a limit. “Theydon’t have to do 15 feet. It cango lower.”

The Ross store at the south-west corner of 127th Street andRoute 59 asked for two newsigns.

This includes a new mainsign of about 300 square feetand a smaller 210 square footsign on the north side of thebuilding facing Walmart. Therespective limits on sign sizesare 145 and 165 square foot.

Lamb questioned wheth-er the sign at the side of thebuilding would attract enoughtraffic to warrant a variance.But sign developer ChuckZenn said the sign was a resultof corporate and local storeneeds.

“We do feel we have goodvisibility on 127th Street, andit’s a workable sign,” Zennsaid.

The applicant for the Vin-

tage Harvest Retail Centersign, Angelo Kleronomos, alsosaid there was a greater needfor a larger, more visible signat the retail center, which istrying to attract businessesinto empty lots.

“We’ve had some peopleback away because of the factthat [the sign] is set back,” Kle-ronomos said.

After a brief discussion,trustees unanimously ap-proved a sign that was a maxi-mum 150 square feet and 15 feettall.

Weather issuesVillage officials also wanted

residents to be prepared for thewintry weather this week.

• Road crews will be puttingsand on the roads this weekinstead of salting because saltdoesn’t work at the cold tem-peratures this week.

• Waste Management crewsthat couldn’t pick up garbageat some locations in the villageMonday will pickup Tuesday.

• A warming shelter andsupplies for village residentsand nonresidents are at policeheadquarters, 14300 Coil PlusDrive. Extra police personnelwill be on duty Tuesday morn-ing.

3COVER STORY

ByBRIAN [email protected]

JOLIET – It’s never too lateto mend, but you only have un-til March 22 to see how it’s beendone locally.

A temporary exhibit at theJoliet Area Historical Museumuses photographs and artifactsfrom former prisoners, guardsand wardens to show the his-tory of the Joliet CorrectionalCenter on Collins Street, theadjacent Women’s Prison andStateville.

The exhibit shares its titlewith an 1856 novel by CharlesReade about a man locked upfor a crime he didn’t commit.“It’s Never Too Late to Mend”also is painted on the floorof the Collins Street facility,which was under constructionin 1856 and operated until 2001.

“I think we get the mostquestions about the prisonsfrom visitors,” Executive Di-rector Greg Peerbolte said.While Joliet was nationallyknown as “a prison town” fordecades, city leaders during therebuilding years of the 1990swanted to downplay the repu-tation.

“It’s more of interest now. Ithink it’s a generational thing.It’s not the only thing [the areais known for] anymore and it’sbecome part of history to peo-ple,” Peerbolte said. “CollinsStreet was open from before theCivil War to 9/11. That’s a lot ofAmerican history.”

When the first prisonersarrived in Joliet in 1858, “itmust’ve seemed like a paradisecompared to ‘the dungeon’ ofAlton,” Peerbolte said.

The women’s “Twin” pris-on operated separately until

1933, when it became anotherpart of the Correctional Cen-ter. Stateville, opened in 1925when Crest Hill was unincor-porated Joliet, houses 3,500inmates.

Peerbolte said the focus ofthe exhibit is “reform,” andwhile some notable inmatesare mentioned, there’s no “Hol-lywood” view of prison life.

“I’d like to think most peo-ple in prison deserve to bethere and didn’t want anyonewho might be a crime victim orrelated to a crime victim thinkwe were disrespecting themand glorifying the criminals,”Peerbolte said.

Among the exhibits are “theShankboard” – a collectionof common items turned intodeadly weapons. Also, thereare cell doors and locks fromthe 19th century, old handcuffs,and a Tommy Gun that Jolietpolice used while making ar-rests in the early 20th century.

The exhibits include anoose, too.

“Hangings were actuallydone at the Will County jail in-stead of the prison. Invitationswere sent out,” Peerbolte said.

The exhibit includes pic-tures of the deteriorating Col-lins Street prison as it looks

today and asks what should bedone with it. Several visitorswrote suggestions to refurbishit as a separate museum or arestaurant.

Mike Johnson has volun-teered at the museum for eightyears. Johnson was a guardat Joliet Correctional Centerfrom 1984 to 1990 and a counsel-or there until 1998.

“People always ask aboutthe prison and sometimes I’vebeen able to answer their ques-tions from my own [knowl-edge],” said Johnson, whoseuniform also is on display inthe exhibit.

In February, Johnson willlecture at the museum on theprison’s history and share hisown anecdotes. Peerbolte saidthe date for that presentationwill be finalized soon.

“We’re just known as a pris-on town from TV and movies,”Johnson said. “People are in-terested in that.”

Families argue outside courtroom following murder trial hearingBy BRIAN STANLEY

[email protected]

JOLIET – Friends and rel-atives of a 16-year-old drive-by shooting victim and sup-porters of the teen accusedof his murder nearly cameto blows Monday at the WillCounty Courthouse.

After Christopher Stamps,16, appeared briefly beforeJudge Dave Carlson on mur-der charges for the Oct. 23slaying of Latray Wright,also 16, tempers boiled overin the hallway.

A shouting match involv-ing several people begannear the elevators and con-

tinued as a dozen Will Coun-ty Sheriff’s deputies werecalled to escort them to sep-arate exits.

Christopher Stamps wasled in by two Will CountySheriff’s deputies. He is be-ing held in the River ValleyJuvenile Detention Center,but is charged as an adult

with Wright’s murder.Wright was fatally shot

while walking near Prince-ton and Fairmont avenues inLockport Township. Stampswas arrested three days lat-er and charged in the death,according to police reports.Police said online insultsfrom one street gang faction

to another led to the drive-byshooting.

Assistant Will CountyState’s Attorney John Con-nor and defense attorneyCosmo Tedone agreed to ex-change Wright’s medical re-cords from Christ Hospitalin Oak Lawn and the CookCounty Medical Examiner.

First Latina sworn inas Will County judge

By BRIAN [email protected]

JOLIET – Jessica Co-lon-Sayre’s late mother wasproud of her, although shenever quite got her titleright.

“My mom would tell any-one – friends, people shejust met, people she saw atthe gas station – ‘This is mydaughter. She’s the districtattorney of the state of Illi-nois,’ ” Colon-Sayre said.

Colon-Sayre was an as-sistant Will County state’sattorney, but on Monday, shewas sworn in as an associatejudge and was certain hermother would have said shewas now a judge for the en-tire state.

She also is the first femaleHispanic judge in Will Coun-ty.

Colon-Sayre became thecounty’s 20th associate judge.Chief Judge Richard Schoen-stedt said the 16 circuit judg-es believed Colon-Sayre wasthe most qualified of morethan 30 applicants.

Colon-Sayre was born inPuerto Rico and graduatedfrom DePaul University in1996.

She received her law de-gree from John MarshallLaw School and was an as-sistant state’s attorney for 11years.

“I’m now the senior Puer-to Rican of the Will Countybench. We have the first

Latina,” Judge David Garciasaid. “But since I became ajudge, as we were formingthe Will County Latino BarAssociation, Jessica wasreally the person that got itstarted.”

Colon-Sayre will be as-signed to traffic court and“will start with about 100 cas-es on Tuesday,” Schoenstedtsaid.

“Most of you who’veworked with me or againstme understand my passionfor what I do,” Colon-Sayresaid. “Now that I’m on thisside [of the bench] that pas-sion for what is just and fairwill not waiver.”

Colon-Sayre resides inCrete with her husband,Todd, and two children,Dylan and Elsa.

Jessica Colon-Sayre was swornin Monday as an associate WillCounty judge.


LOCKPORT – A man toldpolice he was following his GPSsystem when he turned ontorailroad tracks Sunday night.

No one was injured when apassenger train struck the carabout 10 minutes later near theNinth Street crossing in Lock-port.

Police Lt. Ron Huff saidshortly after 7:30 p.m. the driv-er of the 2013 Ford Focus droveabout 25 feet south of the cross-ing.

“It may have been tellinghim to turn on CommerceStreet, but he went onto thetracks and the vehicle got stucksideways across the tracks,”Huff said.

Timothy Cleary, who livesnearby, saw the Focus’ wheelsspin in the gravel as the drivertried to move back.

“I was just looking out thewindow and he was trying topush out. I called 911 and madesure they knew what was go-ing on because those trainscome by so fast there,” Clearysaid.

Huff said Lockport policenotified the railroad, but rail-road personnel were unable toreach the engineer in time.

Lockport Township FireChief Dave Skoryi said thecrash happened about 7:45 p.m.

“The driver was out when

the car was hit by a south-bound Amtrak train,” Skoryisaid. “Half of the car is at theaccident site, the other halfstuck on the front of the train,which stopped at 14th Street.”

No one on the train washurt, Skoryi said.

Cleary said it’s unusual to

see a car on the train track, but“it’s understandable” someonewould turn in with an alley onone side and parking lot on theother.

Huff said Monday the in-vestigation was turned overto railroad police with the CNrailroad.

Snow will likely trigger Joliet parking banBy FELIX SARVER

[email protected]

JOLIET – The Joliet snowparking ban is likely to takeeffect if more than 2 inches ofsnow fall by Tuesday morn-ing as predicted.

Joliet city officials an-ticipated at least 4 inches ofsnow between Monday nightand Tuesday morning, whichwould put the snow parkinginto effect.

The National Weather Ser-vice has forecast between 3and 7 inches of snow. Windgusts up to 30 mph Tuesdayand Wednesday create thepossibility of blowing snow insome areas.

Under the Joliet snowparking ban, all vehicles mustbe moved off public streets forcity plow trucks when 2 inch-es or more of snow falls. Oncestreets are clear, cars can bemoved back.

That ban was revised inDecember when City Councilmembers voted to allow park-

ing on the even side of streetsin the St. Pat’s Neighborhoodand near the University of St.Francis.

“We want our streets to getplowed, but we also don’t haveplaces for people to [park],”said Carol Ann Heinemann,St. Pat’s Neighborhood Asso-

ciation president.She said the ban revision

was a compromise betweenresidents and the city becausesome Joliet roadways aredensely populated and offerthe least amount of off-streetparking.

“If they have any alleys at

all, they’re very narrow,” shesaid.

Residents can park oneven street addresses duringsnowfall on sections of Ray-nor Avenue, Center Street,Marion Street and JeffersonStreet, Heinemann said.

Colder north and northwestair is creating a climate moreconducive to snow, said EricLenning, National WeatherService meteorologist. Therewas little snow in Octoberand November and no snowthroughout December.

“The snowfall [Monday]night would probably be asmuch as we’ve had this win-ter accumulatively thus far,”he said.

Lenning warned of bitterlycold air coming after the snowon Tuesday and Wednesday.He said there will be windgusts from 20 to 30 mph. Thecold air can be dangerous andpotentially deadly for peoplewho go outside unprepared,he said.

“They are going to produce

some low, low wind chillsTuesday and continuing intoThursday morning,” he said.

Residents in need of shel-ter from the cold can visit theLouis Joliet Mall, CatholicCharities Daybreak Centerand MorningStar Mission.The county’s EmergencyManagement Agency also hasa list of shelters.

State laws giveth,taketh away fromWill County court

By LAUREN LEONE–[email protected]

WILL COUNTY – Thereare two state laws coming thisyear that directly affect WillCounty government – one putsmore money into the budgetand another takes it away.

If nothing is done, SenateBill 3075 – which gives jurors apay raise but provides no fund-ing mechanism – is estimatedto burn as much as a $350,000hole in the county’s budgetthis year, Will County ChiefJudge Richard Schoenstedtsaid.

“I feel strongly that jurorsshould get paid more, but onthe other hand, I also don’t be-lieve that the county should,just all the sudden, have to payfor it,” Schoenstedt said.

But a fix is in the works,state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Jo-liet, said.

After discussions with Mc-Guire and other local lawmak-ers, the original sponsor of thebill, state Sen. John Mulroe,D-Chicago, agreed to sponsorfollow-up legislation that rais-es court-filing fees to help off-set costs, McGuire said.

While opponents have ar-gued a fee increase is unfairto court users, McGuire saidthere’s a system in place in

Will County that allows peopleto request their fees be waived.

The county spent about$330,000 last year in juror pay-ments, which includes gasmileage, Schoenstedt said.Such an unfunded state man-date puts pressure on the bud-get, he said.

Fee for new courthouseLater this month, members

of the Will County Board hopeto take advantage of House Bill5889 – which allows the countyto impose court fees to help payfor construction of a new court-house.

A public hearing is sched-uled for 9 a.m. Tuesday for thecounty board’s Judicial Com-mittee, in the committee roomof the county building at 302 N.Chicago St. The public is invit-ed to attend and to make publiccomment.

The money that’s raisedthrough HB 5889 can only beused for the construction of anew courthouse, so the coun-ty cannot shift the moneyaround to help fund juror costs,Schoenstedt said.

The new fee would raisebetween $1.5 and $2 million ayear, but the entire courthouseproject could cost anywhere be-tween $140 and $200 million tobuild.

Objection filed to Shorewoodtrustee’s candidate papers

THE HERALD–NEWS

SHOREWOOD – A longtimevillage trustee’s candidacy forre-election is being challengedby one of the other candidates.

Doctor offers healthyliving tips for new year

THE HERALD–NEWS

NEW LENOX – Makingresolutions is a big part ofNew Year’s for many people.

Silver Cross Hospital hasoffered tips on how to make2015 a healthier year.

“It’s important to be pro-active with your health inorder to maintain a healthylifestyle,” Dr. Heather Taras,emergency medicine phy-sician at the Silver CrossFree-Standing EmergencyCare Center in Homer Glen,said in a news release fromthe hospital. “Ask your phy-sician what vaccinations andtests you should get based onyour age, lifestyle, medicalhistory and family healthhistory.”

According to the U. S.Centers for Disease Controland Prevention, you can cre-ate a healthier life for youand your family in the new

year by following these tips:• Make an appointment

for a checkup, vaccinationor screening. Exams andscreenings can help findproblems early, when thechances for treatment andcure are better. Further, vac-cinations help prevent dis-eases and save lives. Sched-ule a visit with your healthcare provider for a yearlyexam.

• Make better food choic-es. Learn healthy eating tipsthat take five minutes orless, like grabbing a healthysnack such as fruit, nuts orlow-fat cheese, and drinkmore water.

• Be active. Try simplethings, such as taking thestairs instead of the eleva-tor. Be active for at least 2!hours a week. Children andadolescents should get atleast one hour of physical ac-tivity each day.

• Wash hands often toavoid spreading germs andgetting sick.

• Get enough sleep. Re-member that sleep is a neces-sity, not a luxury.

• Manage stress. Keep acheck on overcommitmentand overspending. By bal-ancing work, home and so-cial commitments, you cankeep a more relaxed and pos-itive outlook.

• Be smoke-free. If you areready to quit, call 800-QUIT-NOW for free counseling.

• Travel Safely. Don’tdrink and drive. Don’t letanyone else drink and drive.Reduce auto-related injuriesby using seat belts, childsafety seats and booster seatsthat are appropriate for yourchild’s age and weight.

• Protect yourself from in-jury or disease by wearing ahelmet, sunscreen or insectrepellent when necessary.

raised to have political aspira-tions, although their motherwas a Troy Township officialfor more than 30 years.

“She didn’t grow up think-ing, ‘Oh, I’m going to be in pol-itics or law’ even. She went thebusiness route. Based on thedirection of Illinois, she feltlike things could be better,”Geissler said.

There’s been disagreementover how long a Rauner ap-pointee should stay in office.

Outgoing Democratic Gov.Pat Quinn has called legislatorsto Springfield on Thursday toconsider a possible 2016 specialelection for comptroller, sayingvoters should have a say.

But Rauner says he hasthe legal authority to name afull-term appointment. TheRepublican, who takes officenext week, and Munger pushedMonday for another option:

merging the comptroller andtreasurer offices.

“I’m not interested in a po-litical career, only on doingwhat is best for the state we alllove and want to make greatagain,” Munger said in a state-ment, adding she’d “relent-lessly advocate” for a constitu-tional amendment to combinethe offices. “That’s what Judywanted, and the people deservethe opportunity to vote on it.I would look forward to help-ing eliminate the very office to

which I was appointed.”A merger of the comptroller

and treasurer offices has oftenbeen discussed, though legisla-tive attempts have fizzled out.The comptroller writes thestate’s checks, while the trea-surer is tasked with investingstate funds.

Munger lost in Novemberto Democratic state Rep. CarolSente for a seat in the north-west suburbs. She has previ-ously held director and man-agement positions at Proctor

& Gamble and Helene CurtisIndustries, leaving her last jobin 2001.

Rauner spokesman MikeSchrimpf said a fly-around touris planned with Munger andRauner later in the week. Hesaid Topinka’s longtime aide,Nancy Kimme, will becomeMunger’s chief of staff.

1University of Illinoisboard mulls freezingin-state tuition

URBANA – The Universityof Illinois Board of Trustees isconsidering a proposal to freezein-state tuition for freshmen forthe first time inmore than 20years, officials saidMonday.A board committee planned to

review the proposal onMonday,and their recommendation isscheduled to go to the full boardon Jan. 15.If approved, the base tuition for

in-state freshmen next fall wouldbe the same as for the currentschool year: $12,036 a year inUrbana-Champaign, $10,584 atthe Chicago campus and $9,405in Springfield. The rate wouldremain unchanged for four yearsby law, though student fees andhousing costs could increase.Base tuition would increase by 2

percent for non-Illinois residents.University officials said holding

the line on tuition will helpmiddle-class Illinois students,whose family incomes are notlow enough to qualify for federalor state financial aid, but not highenough to cover costs on theirown. They said the last time therewas no tuition increasewas the1993-94 academic year.University officials also said

they hope to hold future tuitionincreases to the rate of inflationor lower, although that dependson state funding and otherfactors.

Stocks plunge on fearsover oil slump implicationsNEW YORK – After six months

of falling oil prices, investorsare starting to worry that theprolonged slump is signaling aweaker global economy.That fear shook financial

markets Monday as oil plungedagain, dipping below $50 for thefirst time in more than five yearsand triggering a big sell-off, notjust among energy stocks butacross the entire stock market.Since the decline began, inves-

tors assumed lower oil prices,caused by a glut in supply, will bea boon to the U.S. economy. Thatthesis was discarded Mondayas prices plunged further and in-vestors started to fret about thewider implications of the drop.The S&P 500 index dropped

37.62 points, or 1.8 percent, to2,020.58. That was the biggestone-day slump for the index sinceOct. 9. The Dow Jones industrialaverage fell 331.34 points, or 1.9percent, to 17,501.65. The Nas-daq composite fell 74.24 points,or 1.6 percent, to 4,652.57.

CDC: Flu season worsens,could peak this monthNEW YORK – The flu is now

Monday by the Centers forDisease Control and Preventionshow the flu hitting hard inmost of the 43 states where the

illness was widespread. But theflu was not yet rampant in pop-ulous states such as Californiaand New York.The report is for the week of

Christmas, and it shows the fluseason following a similar trackas the last two, when flu activitypeaked no later than mid-Jan-uary. Perhaps that will happenthis winter, too, the CDC’s Dr.Michael Jhung said.Experts are worried because

the nasty bug making mostpeople sick isn’t included in thisyear’s vaccine. Preliminary dataon howwell the vaccine is work-ing is still weeks away. Flu is oneof the nation’s leading causes ofdeath, killing roughly 24,000 ayear, on average.

Jury selection underway inBostonMarathon bomb case

By DENISE LAVOIEThe Associated Press

BOSTON – Some of theprospective jurors who coulddecide Dzhokhar Tsarnaev’sfate got their first look Mon-day at the young man accusedof bombing the Boston Mar-a t h o n , a n dthey seemedtransfixed bythe sight of theshaggy-haired21-year-old.

T s a r n a e v ,for his part,rose to his feetand nodded,slightly andawkwardly, as he was intro-duced to the first group ofabout 200 citizens.

So began what could beweeks of jury selection in thenation’s most closely watchedterror trial since the Oklaho-ma City bombing two decadesago.

Security was tight, withdozens of police officers sta-tioned inside and outside thefederal courthouse along withbomb-sniffing dogs.

The potential jurorsseemed riveted by Tsarnaevand by U.S. District JudgeGeorge O’Toole Jr.’s expla-nation of the gravity of whatthey will be asked to do if they

are picked: They must decidenot only whether the formercollege student is guilty orinnocent, but also what hispunishment will be if he isconvicted – life in prison orexecution.

The judge told the poten-tial jurors not to think of thetrial as “an annoying burden”but as a needed service andan “important duty of citizen-ship.”

Tsarnaev is accused ofplanning and carrying out thetwin pressure-cooker bomb-ings that killed three peopleand wounded more than 260near the finish line of the raceon April 15, 2013.

O’Toole briefly outlinedthe 30 charges against Tsar-naev, which include using aweapon of mass destruction.He also is accused of killing anMIT police officer as he andhis brother, now dead, madetheir getaway.

Tsarnaev, flanked by hisattorneys, sat at a table at thefront of the room. Wearing adark sweater and khaki pants,he looked down much of thetime and picked at his beard.

He nodded to the firstgroup of potential jurors inthe morning. When he stoodfor a second group of 200 in theafternoon, he looked down atthe floor.

Over three days, a poolof about 1,200 prospectivejurors will be summoned tocourt. Twelve jurors and sixalternates will ultimately beselected. The judge said testi-mony in the trial will begin onJan. 26 and last three to fourmonths.

Heather Abbott, of New-port, Rhode Island, who losther left leg below the knee inthe Boston attack, said sheplans to attend some of theproceedings. She said her big-gest question may be an unan-swerable one: Why?

“I don’t know whetherI’ll ever get any answer tothat question, but I guess Iwant to understand what thethought process was,” Abbottsaid. “Why he would want todo this to people ... it’s reallyhard to understand.”

The unusually large poolwas seen as necessary be-cause of the need to weed outthose unduly influenced byheavy news coverage of thetragedy, along with the manyrunners, spectators and oth-ers affected by the bombings.Also, those who are unalter-ably opposed to the deathpenalty will not be allowedon the jury.

Tsarnaev’s lawyers triedand failed to get the trialmoved out of Boston.

15Cannew Illinois governor deliver on the hype?By SARA BURNETTThe Associated Press

CHICAGO – Bruce Raun-er became a Republican rockstar when he unseated a Dem-ocratic governor in left-lean-ing Illinois, pledging to runBarack Obama’s home state inthe mold of GOP darlings ScottWalker and Mitch Daniels. Butas he takes office this month,many are wondering: Can hedeliver on the hype?

There are reasons to be-lieve the answer is no, andthat Rauner’s victories mayhave ended on Election Day.Unlike Walker in Wisconsinand Daniels in Indiana – gov-ernors Rauner has called hisrole models – he inherits astate with deep financial prob-lems and a Legislature that’soverwhelmingly Democratic.That could make achieving histop priorities – such as closingthe state’s multibillion-dollarbudget hole and switchingpublic employees to a 401(k)-

style retirement system – farmore difficult.

But Rauner and others in-sist that Illinois’ first dividedgovernment in more than adecade won’t mean four yearsof gridlock, but rather producethe kind of chemistry need-ed to end years of legislativenear-paralysis.

If so, Illinois could be a no-table outlier in an increasing-ly polarized nation of red andblue states, and could help Re-publicans solve the mystery ofhow to become relevant againin a place that’s been trending

strongly Democratic.“People have cherry picked

[businesses] from us andlaughed at us for many years,”said Republican state Sen. BillBrady. “I think now people arelooking at us with a cautiousbut also optimistic eye.”

Heightening Rauner’s pre-dicament is Illinois’ history ofputting off major issues thatother states tackled during therecession. Thus, the state nowhas the nation’s worst-fundedpublic pension system, slow-er-than-average job growth,billions in unpaid bills and theworst credit rating.

The political dynamic isnow changed, either for betteror worse.

With a Republican in thegovernor’s office, GOP law-makers will at least have anincentive – some would saymandate – to put “yes” voteson major initiatives ratherthan just uniformly opposing,and Democrats may have tocompromise more.

“I think they’ll be very pro-ductive,” said former IllinoisRepublican Party ChairmanPat Brady.

But first, Rauner has fenc-es to mend. The multimillion-aire private equity investorspent the year-long campaignripping Democratic Gov. PatQuinn and the powerful lead-ers of the Illinois House andSenate, calling them “careerpoliticians” who drove thestate into a “death spiral.”

Rauner, House SpeakerMichael Madigan and Sen-ate President John Cullertonmade nice during a two-hourmeeting shortly after ElectionDay. Rauner also been callingevery member of the Legisla-ture, saying he wants to get toknow each one personally.

Many are skeptical. Amongthem are labor leaders, severalof whom Rauner singled outby name during the campaignas contributing to the state’sfinancial ruin. The unions aregearing up for a fight should

Rauner move to weaken theirbargaining power, as Danielsand Walker did in Indiana andWisconsin.

“Bruce Rauner has madeit very clear he’s very hostileto organized labor,” said TomBalanoff, president of the Ser-vice Employees InternationalUnion Local 1.

Yet Balanoff, who was oneof those Rauner accused of“owning” state governmentand the Democratic Party, saidhis union has worked withGOP governors in the past.

Rauner himself has seemedto be lowering expectations.After telling voters during thecampaign he had a plan to si-multaneously lower taxes andincrease spending for educa-tion, he now says the state’sfinances are far worse thanhe was led to believe. It couldbe a way to give himself somewiggle room while pinningblame for unkept promises onthe Democrats who precededhim.

Indonesia cracks downon aviation after crash

By TATAN SYUFLANAThe Associated Press

PANGKALAN BUN, In-donesia – Highlighting thedepth of Indonesia’s air safetyproblems, the transportationministry announced harshmeasures Monday against ev-eryone who allowed AirAsiaFlight 8501 to take off withoutproper permits – including thesuspension of the airport’s op-erator and officials in the con-trol tower.

The routing permits of allairlines flying in the countryalso will be examined to see ifthey are violating the rules,said Djoko Murjatmodjo, act-ing director general of airtransportation.

“Who knows if other air-lines are also doing the samething?” he said.

The crackdown comes assearchers continue to fight badweather while combing theJava Sea for bodies and wreck-age of the Airbus A320 thatcrashed Dec. 28, killing all 162passengers and crew on board.

The plane was traveling be-tween Surabaya, Indonesia’ssecond-largest city, and Sin-gapore on a Sunday. Officialshave since said its permit forthe popular route was only forMonday, Tuesday, Thursdayand Saturday, and that AirA-sia quietly switched three ofthose days. Officials in Singa-pore, however, have said theplane was authorized to fly onSundays from its end.

Applications for specificroutes take into account issuesincluding air traffic rights andairport takeoff and landingslots.

While the airline is beinginvestigated, Indonesia hasbanned all AirAsia flights be-tween Surabaya and Singa-pore.

AirAsia Indonesia Pres-ident Director Sunu Widy-atmoko said by text Mondaythat the airline will cooperatewith the government duringthe evaluation, but would notcomment on the permit allega-tions until the process is com-plete.

Lebanon imposes new limitson Syrians fleeing civil war

By DIAA HADIDand BASSEM MROUEThe Associated Press

BEIRUT – Lebanon turnedback Syrians trying to crossthe border Monday understrict new visa regulations,saying it simply cannot han-dle any more people displacedby the ongoing civil war.

The policy, requiringSyrians to obtain visas thatsharply limit the time theycan stay in Lebanon, effec-tively narrows one of the fewescape routes left from a con-flict that has displaced a thirdof Syria’s pre-war populationand shows no sign of ending.

Humanitarian groupsdealing with Syrian refugeessay authorities should notclose the doors on people des-perate to leave.

Leading politician WalidJumblatt said there shouldbe difference in dealing with“refugees who are fleeingdeath and destruction inSyria after they lost their

homes,” and those who cometo Lebanon for political activ-ities.

“The vast majority of themleft Syria because of fear ofwar, and they are innocent,”Jumblatt said in commentspublished Monday.

The violence in Syria be-tween forces loyal to Presi-dent Bashar Assad and thoseopposed to his rule havecaused more than 3 millionpeople to flee the country,mainly to neighboring Leb-anon, Turkey, Jordan and

Iraq. Western countries onlyhave accepted small numbersof refugees, and hundreds ofpeople have drowned tryingto cross the MediterraneanSea on rickety ships. Morethan 200,000 have died sincethe uprising began in 2011.

Lebanese officials saythey can’t absorb any more,estimating there are about 1.5million Syrians in Lebanon –about one-quarter of the totalpopulation. Some 1.1 millionare registered with the U.N.’srefugee agency.

Treasurer raisesinsult taxpayers

Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford gave several of hisemployees significant pay raises over the past year andawarded one-time payments to several employees a fewmonths ago.

We expected more of Rutherford, a former Republicanstate senator. Rutherford will leave office in January,having lost in a four-way primary for the GOP nomina-tion for governor. That means he’s essentially been alame duck since April.

But his office gave pay raises ranging from 8 to 36 per-cent, and it awarded nearly $90,000 in one-time paymentsto 35 nonunion employees. Those payments included$10,000 to his former chief of staff, on top of an annualsalary of about $125,000.

Rutherford defended the raises through his spokes-woman, Mary Frances Bragiel. She said the raises andpayments were “all based on performance, job dutychanges and more responsibility.” She said some of thepayments and raises were used to help retain people andreflected successful programs in the office. She pointedout, for example, the unclaimed property division re-turned assets of more than $100 million for the first timein 2011; the total in 2013 was $139 million.

Frank Prochaska, a spokesman for Council 31 of theAmerican Federation of State, County and MunicipalEmployees, said it amounted to “profiteering.” He saidunion employees received smaller pay bumps in recentnegotiations. “It is a disgrace to dedicated state employ-ees and public servants,” he said.

But the ones who should be complaining loudest aretaxpayers. It’s amazing how many times state officialshave said how tight the state’s budget is and how care-fully they watch spending. And it’s equally amazing thenumber of times the state finds money to hand raises toloyal followers or to finance questionable programs.

Rutherford’s gubernatorial bid was derailed byaccusations that so far haven’t been proved. We admiredRutherford’s common-sense approach to issues duringthe campaign and his determination to keep running,despite a clear signal his efforts were not going to berewarded. That makes this action even more disappoint-ing.

What taxpayers need, and want, are elected officialsto be careful stewards of taxpayer dollars. We’re notopposed to deserving state employees receiving wageincreases. But we are appalled when the amounts rangefrom 8 percent to 36 percent. In most private businesses,such raises are most often below 5 percent, if that. Eightpercent would be rare, and 36 percent is fantasy land.

Those numbers are even more ludicrous given thestate’s terrible financial situation. It’s this kind of spend-ing that placed Illinois in its current financial straits,and the state will remain there unless elected officialschange their ways.

A FEW THOUGHTS FOR THECHANGES IN THE NEW YEARTo the Editor:Good morning, USA, and Happy

2015. Well, I am on a new questthis year. I really am tired of biggovernment and want to trimit down a notch. My quest is tojoin Mark Levin and bring about aconstitutional convention.We seem to have problems

stopping the government fromgrowing too big and lying toomuch.The politicians need to have

term limits, as do the SupremeCourt justices.We need to have either a flat tax

(preferred) or a consumption tax.Let’s make sure everybody pays

a fair share. I would like to seeour borders tightened and madesafe by our armed forces underdirection of the Pentagon.I would like to see us combine

as many of our agencies aspossible. An example would becombining the CIA, FBI with theNSA. How about combining theEPA with OSHA?I would like us to rid ourselves

of the special-interest groups inWashington.And I would like us to stop sup-

porting freeloaders who make amockery of our welfare systems.Just a few thoughts for the newyear.

18 MEN’S BASKETBALL: UNIVERSITY OF ST. FRANCIS 96, INDIANA NORTHWEST 74

Unique chemistry keeps Saints rollingBy DICK GOSS

[email protected]

JOLIET – University ofSt. Francis men’s basketballcoach Ryan Marks says thereis a unique brand of chemistryat work.

Despite missing 6-foot-8junior center Jens Kennedy– a Dwight graduate who wasnursing an ankle injury – theSaints (12-4) whipped noncon-ference foe Indiana Northwest,96-74, Monday night at the Sul-livan Center for their sixthvictory in seven games.

USF is 6-1 since the calen-dar flipped to December, andthe only loss in that span wasto NCAA Division II Lewis.

“It is kind of a uniquechemistry,” Marks said. “Ourteam in general is not over-whelming people. We don’thave a 25-point-per-game guy.We don’t have a star.

“We play 10-11 guys everynight, and this group embrac-es that. They seem to be en-joying it. You can say we’rea law-of-averages team. Mostnights, we have enough guysplaying well enough for us towin.”

On Monday night, it wasEd Presniakovas (PlainfieldSouth) and Ilya Ilyayev wholed way. Presniakovas scored15 of his 18 points and Ilyayev14 of his game-high 27 in thefirst half, which ended withthe Saints on top, 42-33. Pres-niakovas and reserve RyanPeter (Joliet Catholic) sparkedan 11-0 run late in the half thatallowed USF to take control forgood.

Junior guard BreshionTucker (JCA), meanwhile,comes off the bench and em-bodies what Marks said aboutchemistry.

“Breshion transferred in tous this year,” Marks said. “Helegitimately could be playingmore minutes. He’s learningour system and is doing a mar-velous job. He and the othersoff the bench give us a spark.

“Brian Edwards [JolietWest] is the same way. Hecomes off the bench and goesabout his business.”

The other place the Saintshave made hay is with theirfront line. Kennedy and Ilya-

yev, a junior college transferfrom California, are strongaround the basket.

“Jens is critical for us,”Marks said. “When we are

playing well, a lot of our stuffgoes through him. He and Ilyaare formidable together. Andon nights when they have hadfoul trouble, the guys behind

them – Iain Morison and JeanPietrzak – have done a goodjob.”

Ilyayev entered Monday’sgame averaging a team-best15.5 points, Kennedy 14.1 andPresniakovas 13.9. Presniako-vas and guard Jo Jo Ballestero,who scored 18 points, providemuch of the 3-point shooting– although the big men, Ken-nedy and Ilyayev, also havehit 28 of 55 3s between them.Ballestero and Presniakovascombined to nail 11 of 16 fromlong range Monday.

“Ed [Presniakovas] has set-tled into a nice niche,” Markssaid. “He is a very versatilescorer. He’s a good 3-pointshooter, and he has diversi-fied his offense. He gets offen-sive rebounds. He drives. Youwatch him and you think hehas eight points, and he’s got18.”

USF, which plays in NAIADivision II, will visit Ashfordin Clinton, Iowa, on Wednes-

day night. After that, theregular season will concludewith 13 straight ChicagolandCollegiate Athletic Conferencegames.

The Saints are 6-0 and atopthe CCAC South after the firstcycle through their division.They will see most of the Northopponents before the secondtrip through the CCAC South.

19Providence may have Boykin, Vejvoda soon

Of this and that:• The discussion about the

best large-school boys basket-ball teams in the Joliet areainvariably includes PlainfieldEast, Plainfield North andBolingbrook, in whicheverorder.

However, with the an-ticipated return of footballstandouts Miles Boykin andNate Vejvoda, Providence alsois mentioned as a possiblefactor in the second half of theseason and the postseason.

The Celtics (7-6) play Tues-day night at Hales Franciscan.Coach Tim Trendel, providingthe best answer he can to thequestion so many have beenasking, said Monday it is “50-50” whether that game willmark Boykin’s season debut.Vejvoda, however, will be out“another week or two.”

Boykin and Vejvoda werebig-time receivers on Prov-idence’s Class 7A footballstate championship team. Atwo-time all-area selection inbasketball, Boykin will playhis college football at NotreDame, and Vejvoda will be atIowa.

Boykin just returnedfrom the Semper FidelisAll-American Bowl that washeld Sunday night in Califor-nia, although he did not playbecause of the finger that wasdislocated during the stateplayoffs and had to be surgi-cally repaired.

He and Bolingbrookdefensive lineman MicahDew-Treadway were two of sixNotre Dame recruits on thetwo rosters. Five, includingBoykin and Dew-Treadway,were members of the West,which lost to the East, 24-3.

• Plainfield East, PlainfieldNorth, Bolingbrook and Prov-idence are among the schoolsthat have been assigned tothe Class 4A BolingbrookSectional. All four basketballteams could be threats to wintheir regional and reach thesectional.

Of course, Neuqua Valley(13-1), which plays Tuesdaynight at Bolingbrook, also is inthe field. So is Oswego, whichis decent. By that time of year,

perhaps Joliet West, JolietCentral, Minooka and/or Ro-meoville also will be ready tochallenge the big boys.

The seeding will done Feb.18-19. The results will be inter-esting and easily could have abearing on which teams even-tually do play in the sectional.One 1-4 seed and one 5-8 seed

will be in each regional. Theregional hosts will be JolietWest, Lincoln-Way North,Romeoville and Yorkville.

• With Joliet Catholicleaving the WJOL Thanks-giving Classic basketballtournament, Lemont has beenannounced as the replacementfor next season.

The Hilltoppers and Indi-ans, plus Lincoln-Way Westand Morris, will be in the Class3A Rich East Sectional. JCAmade its nice postseason runlast season by winning the Pla-no Regional before reachingthe Rich East Sectional final.

For whichever of our Class3A teams gets hot and makes a

run this year, it is noteworthythat Morgan Park – the classof the sectional last season – isin a different sectional thistime around. The regionalhosts for the Rich East Sec-tional will be Coal City, Hill-crest, Manteno and Streator.

• One of the big winterhappenings on the local calen-dar is the Wish Upon A StarSoftball in the Snow benefit.The event is scheduled for Sat-urday, Jan. 17, at St. JosephPark in Joliet.

JolietW. boys bowlers eye strong finishBy CURT HERRON

[email protected]

JOLIET – As the boys bowl-ing season reaches the finalweek of its regular campaign,Joliet West is hopeful it haspositioned itself for a strongfinish.

That kicks off today whenthe Tigers meet Lockport atStrike N Spare II to see whichsquad heads into Saturday’sSouthWest Suburban Bluemeet at Woodridge’s Bruns-wick Zone as the favorite.Both are 7-2 in dual meets,but the Porters own a slightpoints lead.

Next Saturday, West com-petes in the IHSA PlainfieldSouth Regional at Town &Country Lanes for the chanceto advance to the PlainfieldNorth Sectional, with team’sultimate goal being a trip tothe state finals in O’Fallon onJan. 30-31.

A year ago, the Tigers fellone spot shy of advancing tothe sectionals, so coach ScottGentile realizes the postsea-son path will be challenging.

“We’ve been talking tothe guys all year about beingconsistent and peaking at theright time, and it seems likewe’re starting to hit our stridelate in the season,” Gentile

said. “You want to be hot atthe end, so this is good to see.

“We’re a young team withonly one senior, so findingthat consistency can be astruggle at times. Spare-shoot-ing has been our biggest weak-ness; but we’ve been workingin practice a lot on that, andguys are improving. This isa good group, and they all getalong and push each other. Ifone guy is down, someone elsehas stepped in and picked thatguy up.”

Although the future looksbright for West since it onlyhas one senior – Josh Pesav-ento – the squad has big hopesfor the rest of its current sea-son.

Pesavento, who’s joined onthe team by his brother Matt,a junior, doesn’t plan to be theonly Tiger to compete in thesectional, as he was a year

ago.“Early in the year in tour-

naments, we were in the mid-dle of the pack since we’d hadsome 900 games; but in ourlast tournament, we had some1,080s or 1,100s,” Josh Pesav-ento said. “But I know thatwe can still improve since weusually have one bad game.This is the point that we’llturn it on since we have Lock-port tomorrow, which is bigfor conference.

“I feel, like we gel prettygood with each other, andsome of us hang out at eachothers’ houses. I think thatwe should do good in region-als. But we just have to exe-cute our shots, and we can’thave a bunch of opens; wehave to keep getting spares.We just have to focus on oneframe at a time, and we’ll befine.”

West improved to 10-4overall in dual meets Mondayafter it claimed a 3,094-2,813nonconference victory overPlainfield Central at Town &Country.

Noah Plunge had a 268high game and 741 series,while Josh Pesavento rolled a237 high game and 669 series.Kyle Branner led the Wildcatswith a 247 high game and 641series.

“My favorite thing aboutour team is that we’re reallyclose and we usually pick eachother up pretty well,” Tigersjunior Scott Lyman said. “Weused to have a couple of guysbowl good and a couple bowlnot so good, but now we’restarting to bowl as a team andhave everybody shooting apretty high game, and that’swhat we’ll have to do againstLockport.

“We go to each others’houses on the weekend, sowe’re just really close. Weknow each others’ favoritething to do, and all have ourinside jokes. I don’t think thatwe were that confident earlyon; but after we’ve been shoot-ing scores in the thousandsin almost every game, we’vedefinitely gotten a lot better. Ifeel good about where we’re atright now.”

“We’ve been talking to the guys all year aboutbeing consistent and peaking at the right time, andit seems like we’re starting to hit our stride late inthe season. You want to be hot at the end, so this is

good to see.”

Studying a new booze blockerFake bar part of National Institutes of Health research into anti-drinking drug

By LAURAN NEERGAARDThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON – There’sno skunky bar odor amid thebeer taps. Instead of booze,colored water fills the bottles.The real alcohol is lockedaway but still close enough forthe extra temptation of smell –and to test the safety of a newdrug designed to help heavydrinkers say “when” soonerthan usual.

The replica of a fullystocked bar inside the hospitalat the National Institutes ofHealth is an important part ofthe experiment. Researchersbelieve sitting in the dimly litbar-laboratory should cue thevolunteers’ brains to crave adrink and help determine ifthe pill they’re testing count-ers that urge.

“The goal is to createalmost a real-world environ-ment but to control it verystrictly,” said lead researcherDr. Lorenzo Leggio, who istesting how a hormone namedghrelin that sparks people’sappetite for food also affectstheir desire for alcohol, and ifblocking it helps.

Amid all the yearlyresolutions to quit, alcoholuse disorders affect about17 million Americans, andonly a small fraction receivestreatment. There’s no one-size-fits-all therapy, and theNIH is spurring a hunt fornew medications that targetthe brain’s addiction cycle indifferent ways – and to findout which options work bestin which drinkers.

“Alcoholics come in manyforms,” said Dr. George Koob,director of NIH’s NationalInstitute of Alcohol Abuse andAlcoholism, which has pub-lished new online guides, atwww.niaaa.nih.gov, explain-ing who’s at risk and what canhelp.

What’s the limit? NIAAAsays “low-risk” drinkingmeans no more than four

drinks in any single day andno more than 14 in a week formen, and no more than threedrinks a day and seven a weekfor women.

Genes play a role in who’svulnerable to crossing theline into alcohol abuse. So doenvironmental factors, suchas getting used to drinking a

certain amount, not to men-tion how your own brain’scircuitry adapts.

Treatment can range frominpatient rehab and 12-stepprograms to behavioral ther-apy and the few medicationsavailable today. Koob, whospecializes in the neurobiolo-gy of alcohol, says it usually

takes a combination – and, ul-timately, “you have to changeyour life.”

Yet a recent review for theAgency for Healthcare Re-search and Quality estimatedthat less than a third of peoplewho need treatment get it, andof those, less than 10 percentreceive medications.

Three drugs are approvedby the Food and Drug Ad-ministration to treat alcoholabuse. One, naltrexone, blocksalcohol’s feel-good sensationby targeting receptors in thebrain’s reward system – ifpeople harbor a particulargene. The anti-craving pillacamprosate appears to calmstress-related brain chemicalsin certain people. The olderAntabuse works differently,triggering nausea and otheraversive symptoms if peopledrink while taking it.

Recent research suggestsa handful of drugs used forother disorders also showpromise:

• Scientists at the ScrippsResearch Institute found theepilepsy drug gabapentinreduced relapses in drinkerswho recently had quit, andimproved cravings, mood andsleep by targeting an emo-tion-related brain chemical.

• A study by NIAAA andfive medical centers found theanti-smoking drug Chantixmay help alcohol addiction,too, by reducing heavy drink-ers’ cravings.

• University of Pennsyl-vania researchers found theepilepsy drug topiramatehelped heavy drinkers cutback, if they have a particulargene variation mostly foundin people of European descent.

Back in NIH’s bar lab, one ofabout a dozen versions aroundthe country, the focus is onghrelin, the hormone producedin the stomach that controlsappetite via receptors in thebrain. It turns out there’s over-lap between receptors that fuelovereating and alcohol cravingin the brain’s reward system,said NIAAA’s Leggio.

In a study published thispast fall, his team gave 45heavy-drinking volunteersdifferent doses of ghrelin, andtheir urge to drink rose alongwith the extra hormone.

Now Leggio is testingwhether blocking ghrelin’saction also blocks thosecravings, using an experi-mental Pfizer drug originallydeveloped for diabetes butnever sold. The main goalof this first-step study is toensure mixing alcohol withthe drug is safe. But research-ers also measure cravings asvolunteers, hooked to a bloodpressure monitor in the tinybar-lab, smell a favorite drink.Initial safety results are ex-pected this spring.

“Our hope is that down theline, we might be able to do asimple blood test that tells ifyou will be a naltrexone per-son, an acamprosate person, aghrelin person,” Koob said.

CROSSWORD SUDOKU BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

PUZZLES

Francesco Petrarch, a 14th-centuryItalian poet, said, “A short cut to richesis to subtract from our desires.”

At the bridge table, a short cut – ashort suit – will make you wealthier if– an important if – you have a fit withpartner.

Look at today’s North hand. Afterpartner opens one spade, what shouldNorth respond?

If you count shortage points, addthree for a singleton when you have atleast a nine-card fit. So, the North handis worth 11 support points, which isideal for a three-spade limit raise.

If you count losers, the North handhas eight: two spades, two hearts, onediamond and three clubs. (No suit hasmore than three losers.) Eight losers isalso the number for a game-invitation-al limit raise.

Then South, who knows that hisexcellent diamond suit will providediscards, immediately uses RomanKey-Card Blackwood. North replies fivehearts, showing two key-cards (twoaces, or one ace and the trump king)and denying the trump queen. NowSouth knows that six spades is highenough.

West leads the club queen. Whatshould declarer do?

The play ought to be straightfor-ward. South should win with his clubace and draw two rounds of trumps.When they break 3-1, he turns to dia-monds, discarding dummy’s last twoclubs as quickly as possible. Declarerruffs his fourth diamond in the dummy,cashes the heart ace, trumps a heartback to hand and ruffs his remainingclub in the dummy. Then he can claim,his hand containing two trumps anda high diamond. West takes only onetrump trick.

Short suits are greatwith a fit

Dear Doctor K: I have in-terstitial cystitis. Medica-tions have helped, but notmuch. What else could helprelieve my symptoms?

Dear Reader: Intersti-tial cystitis is a puzzlingbladder condition in whichthe bladder wall becomesirritated or inflamed. Wedon’t know what causes thecondition. Some doctorsspeculate that an infection,most likely with viruses,is responsible. However,I’m not aware of any goodevidence in support of that.

The symptoms of inter-stitial cystitis are similarto those of a bacterialurinary tract infection.However, in interstitialcystitis, there is no bac-terial infection, and thesymptoms do not respondto antibiotic treatment.

Symptoms includefrequent urination, anintense urge to urinate anda burning sensation duringurination. People may alsoexperience pain, pressureor tenderness in the blad-der area. In many patients,symptoms come and go. Inothers, symptoms continueto get worse.

In some people, inter-stitial cystitis is a chroniccondition that lasts formany years. In others, itdisappears suddenly. Butsymptoms may returnagain, even years after thefirst illness.

There is no therapythat cures the disorder, sothe goal of treatment is toreduce symptoms. Often aperson needs to try severaltherapies before findingthe right combination:

• DIETARY CHANGES.Caffeinated beverages,alcohol, chocolate, andspicy or high-acid foodssuch as citrus fruits andtomatoes are some of manyfoods that can aggravatethe condition. Each personneeds to experiment to dis-cover what she or he needsto avoid. Smoking aggra-vates interstitial cystitis insome people, and quittingsmoking can also help.

• BLADDER TRAIN-ING. Patients can learn toreduce frequent urinationby following a schedule for

urinating. You can think ofit as “willing” the bladderto urinate less often. It isthe same kind of disciplinethat works in people whohave overactive bladder, acondition much more com-mon than interstitial cysti-tis. While bladder trainingcuts down on the frequenturination, unfortunately itdoesn’t reduce the pain ofurination.

• ORAL MEDICA-TIONS. Pentosan poly-sulfate sodium (Elmiron)is the only medicationspecifically approved forthe treatment of interstitialcystitis. Other drugs notspecifically approved forthe condition also mayoffer relief. They includeanalgesics (pain relievers),tricyclic antidepressants,antihistamines and H2blockers used to treatheartburn.

• BLADDER DISTEN-TION. Sterile water is usedto stretch the bladder. Thismay allow the bladderto hold more urine andinterfere with pain signalstransmitted by nerves inthe bladder.

• BLADDER INSTIL-LATION (bladder wash).The bladder is filled with asterile solution containingone of a number of ingredi-ents that work directly onthe bladder wall to reduceinflammation and blockpain. It may also preventmuscle contractions thatcause pain, frequency andurgency of urination.

• ELECTRICAL NERVESTIMULATION. Mildelectrical impulses areused to stimulate nerves tothe bladder. The electri-cal pulses may increaseblood flow to the bladder,strengthen pelvic musclesor trigger the release ofsubstances that block pain.

Dear Abby: I was singlefor four years and recentlyremarried. I didn’t intend tomarry again, but then I met“Bob.” He was so kind andattentive that I was attract-ed. He proposed to me everyday, several times a day, andeight months later I marriedhim.

Bob moved here fromout of state and hasn’t beenable to find work. It has beenchallenging. My daugh-ter lives with us and is incollege.

Bob’s mood swings havebeen drastic lately. Hedoesn’t want me to talk toanyone else, do anythingwithout him (hang with myfriends, my daughter, etc.).I have a great job and workpart-time in the eveningsto make ends meet. I try tostay calm, but he yells, usesprofanity and is highly ma-nipulative.

I am at a loss. I would liketo help him, but his depres-sion is tearing us apart. Ialso believe he is addicted tomarijuana. He has threat-ened suicide, but I don’tknow if he would actually gothrough with it.

Abby, I have worked veryhard to get where I am. Iknow I need to take care ofmyself and my daughter, butI don’t want to just throwthis away, either. Help! –Torn In Two In Texas

Dear Torn In Two: Withoutmore information, it’s hardto tell whether your hus-band’s depression makeshim act the way he does,or whether you have beenseduced by an abuser.

Among the warning signsof an abuser are:

• Pushes for quick in-volvement;

• Isolation: tries to isolateyou from friends or familymembers;

• Makes others responsi-ble for his/her feelings: Theabuser says, “YOU makeme angry” instead of “I amangry,” or, “You’re hurtingme by not doing what I tell

you”;• Hypersensitivity: is eas-

ily insulted, claiming hurtfeelings when he or she isreally mad. Rants about theinjustice of things that arejust a part of life;

• Verbal abuse: constantlycriticizes or says blatantlycruel things -- degrades,curses, calls you ugly names.May also involve sleep depri-vation, waking you withrelentless verbal abuse;

• Sudden mood swings:switches from sweet to vio-lent within minutes.

This is only a partial list– there are 15 in all, whichis too long for this column.However, they can be pre-cursors to serious physicalviolence.

Urge your husbandto get counseling for hisdepression and insecurity.If he refuses, then be smartand contact the NationalDomestic Violence Hotline at800-799-7233 or online at the-hotline.org for help in safelyseparating from him beforeyour husband’s behaviorescalates.

Dear Abby: At ablack-tie-optional wedding,is it appropriate for a man tocome wearing a cowboy hatand keep it on at the dinnertable? – Curious in PalmDesert

Dear Curious: Hat etiquettedecrees that it should beremoved when a man isindoors. And according toThe Campfire Chronicle (atstargazermercantile.com),“If you’re in a restaurantthat serves anything thatisn’t coated in barbecuesauce, it’s probably best tolose the hat.”
