By DANA HERRA dherra@shawmedia.com KINGSTON – If you happen to see what looks like a miniature kangaroo hopping about, there’s nothing wrong with your eyes. Her name is Willow, and her human family would very much like to have her back. Willow is a 14-month-old baby wallaroo – basically a smaller version of a kangaroo. Wallaroos are marsupials that are indigenous to Australia. She is about 2 feet tall, gray and weighs between 15 and 20 pounds. She is the pet of the Cleveland family, and went missing about 8 p.m. Tuesday from their home near Glidden and Cherry Valley roads in Kingston. “She was outside with me, and I went inside to help my boys with a math problem,” Jenny Cleveland said. “I realized I forgot to bring her in with me. It had been about a 20-minute time span, and when I went back out she was gone.” Willow has spent time outdoors by herself before, Cleveland said, but has never before run away. Although wallaroos

Unless they’re being chased by a dog or something, they don’t just allout run,” Cleveland said. “It’s more like a cow, just moving along grazing.”

onna Borthwick doesn’t consider herself a garage sale expert. But her driveway has seen its share of garage sales since she moved to the Bridges of Rivermist subdivision in DeKalb in 2005. She doesn’t do it for the money, but rather the convenience of being able to get rid of old items her family no longer uses. “I like to make a few bucks,” she said. “But it’s more about moving [stuff out].” Voice your Borthwick wrapped up anopinion other successful neighborhood Do you plan to garage sale, hold a garage which she helped sale this sumcoordinate at the mer?

CEO pay has been going in one direction for the past three years: Up. The head of a typical large public company made $9.7 million in 2012, a 6.5 percent increase from a year earlier that was aided by a rising stock market, according to an analysis by The Associated Press using data from Equilar, an executive pay research firm. CEO pay, which fell two years straight during the Great Recession but rose 24 percent in 2010 and 6 percent in 2011, has never been higher. Companies say they need to pay CEOs well so they can attract the best talent, and that this is ultimately in the interest of shareholders. But shareholder activists and some corporate governance experts say many CEOs are being paid far above what is reasonable or what their performance merits. Pay for all U.S. workers rose
The highest paid CEO was Leslie Moonves of CBS, who made $60.3 million. Five of the 10 highest-paid CEOs were from the entertainment and media industry.
1.1 percent in 2010, 1.2 percent in 2011 and 1.6 percent last year – not enough to keep up with inflation. The median wage in the U.S. was about $39,900 in 2012, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics. After years of pressure from corporate governance activists unhappy about big payouts, many companies have revamped their compensation formulas. They have awarded a bigger chunk of compensation in stock to align pay more closely to performance, become more transparent about how compensation decisions are made and in some cases promised to claw back pay from fired executives.

School storm safety often lacking By DAVID A. LIEB
WASHINGTON – At the center of a political storm, an Internal Revenue Service supervisor whose agents targeted conservative groups swore Wednesday she did nothing wrong, broke no laws and never lied to Congress. Then she refused to answer lawmakers’ further questions, citing her Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate herself. In one of the most electric moments since the IRS controversy erupted nearly two weeks ago, Lois Lerner unwaveringly – but briefly – defended herself before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. But she would say no more, citing legal advice in the face of a federal investigation. Members of Congress have angrily complained that Lerner and other high-ranking IRS officials did not inform them that conservative groups were singled out, even though lawmakers repeatedly asked the IRS about it
By PETE YOST WASHINGTON – The Obama administration acknowledged for the first time Wednesday that four American citizens have been killed in drone strikes since 2009 in Pakistan and Yemen. The disclosure to Congress comes on the eve of a major national security speech by President Barack Obama. In conducting U.S. counterterrorism operations against al-Qaida and its associated forces, the government has targeted and killed one American citizen, Anwar al-Awlaki, and is aware of

An aerial photo taken Tuesday shows Plaza Towers Elementary School, which was destroyed in Monday’s tornado, in Moore, Okla. Plaza Towers had no “safe room” in which students and teachers could take shelter, and seven students there were killed in the tornado. Such safe rooms can be expensive for school districts to add. more than their counterparts in any other state to encourage construction of community safe rooms and home storm shelters. More than 100 Oklahoma schools have already received federal grant money for safe rooms, said the head of the state’s emergency management agency. Yet most schools still lack them. The reason: the cost, which can range from a few hundred thousand dollars to more than $1 million, depending on the size of the room. For some cash-strapped districts, that could equal the annual salary of nearly an entire school’s teaching staff. Federal Emergency Management Agency grants can cover 75 percent of the cost of safe rooms, but local schools still must come up with the rest. Some
school districts have issued bonds, backed by tax revenues, to ease the burden. But even that has limits. The Choctaw-Nicoma Park School District, which teaches about 5,500 children northeast of Moore, recently used bond money to build safe rooms at five of its nine school buildings. Two additional schools are close enough to the improved buildings that students could run to the storm shelter with just a few minutes of warning. But two elementary schools are without modern safe rooms, said Superintendent Jim McCharen. “Certainly, when we are able to get some type of assistance or do another school bond issue, both of those schools are slated to get additional classrooms” that can double as safe rooms, McCharen said.
after hearing complaints from local tea party groups. The Justice Department has launched a criminal probe of the murky events over the 2010 and 2012 election campaigns, saying it is looking into potential civil rights violations. Top IRS officials say Lerner didn’t tell them for nearly a year after she learned that agents working under her had improperly singled out conservative groups for additional scrutiny when they applied for tax-exempt status. Under unrelenting criticism – most forcefully from Republicans but also from Democrats and people outside politics – administration officials from President Barack Obama on down have denounced the targeting as inappropriate and inexcusable. Lerner, who heads the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status and first disclosed the targeting at a legal conference, has said the same. But she also spoke up for her-
self Wednesday, sitting stern-faced at the committee witness table. “I have not done anything wrong,” she said. “I have not broken any laws, I have not violated any IRS rules or regulations, and I have not provided false information to this or any other congressional committee.” By one lawmaker’s count, Lerner was asked 14 times by members of Congress or their staffs without revealing that the groups had been targeted. On Wednesday, lawmakers didn’t get a chance to ask Lerner again. Nine minutes after she began speaking, Lerner was excused, though committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said he might recall her. Issa said Lerner may have forfeited her Fifth Amendment privilege not to testify by giving an opening statement. But several law professors were skeptical Issa could make that stick. By leaving early, Lerner missed out on a six-hour grilling that three other witnesses endured.

The Associated Press MOORE, Okla. – With its single-story design and cinder-block walls, Plaza Towers Elementary School may have seemed sturdy when it was built a couple of generations ago. But a powerful tornado revealed the building’s lack of modern safety standards, destroying the school and killing seven students. Unlike several other schools in the Oklahoma City area, Plaza Towers had no “safe room” in which students and teachers could seek protection from a twister. The federal government offers money to schools in some states if they decide to install the reinforced rooms. But doing so can still be a daunting financial decision, requiring up to a $1 million for a single storm shelter that might never be needed. That dollars-and-cents reality has resulted in a patchwork of protection in tornado-prone areas – sometimes with tragic results. In response to the tornado that plowed through Moore, Oklahoma Gov. Mary Fallin announced Wednesday the creation of a state fund to accept donations for the construction of safe rooms, which are fortified by deep foundations, thick concrete walls and steel doors designed to withstand winds of 250 mph. Separately, a member of the state House of Representatives proposed creating a $500 million bond issue to pay for storm shelters at public schools and in private homes across the state. “From the public, it’s been a huge outcry,” said state Rep. Joe Dorman, a Democrat from rural Rush Springs, about 60 miles southwest of Oklahoma City. “We need to do something to require storm shelters in schools, especially in the vulnerable areas where there have been tornado outbreaks.” Oklahoma, which has averaged more than 50 tornadoes per year since record-keeping began in 1950, is in the heart of tornado alley. State officials asserted Wednesday that they had done

the killing by U.S. drones of three others, Attorney General Eric Holder said in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy. Al-Awlaki, a radical Muslim cleric, was killed in a drone strike in September 2011 in Yemen. Holder said three other Americans were killed by drones in counterterrorism operations since 2009 but were not targeted. The three are Samir Khan, who was killed in the same drone strike as al-Awlaki; al-Awlaki’s 16-year-old son, Abdulrahman, a native of Denver, who also was killed in Yemen two weeks lat-
er; and Jude Kenan Mohammed, who was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan. “Since entering office, the president has made clear his commitment to providing Congress and the American people with as much information as possible about our sensitive counterterrorism operations,” Holder told Leahy, D-Vt. “To this end, the president has directed me to disclose certain information that until now has been properly classified.” “The administration is determined to continue these extensive outreach efforts to communicate with the American people,” Holder wrote.

In a video broadcast on British TV, a man gestured with bloodied hands, waving a knife in the air and shouting political statements against the British government as pedestrians milled about a body lying on the street. British officials said the attack appeared to be an act of terrorism. The two suspects remained hospitalized Wednesday night but their identities and that of their victim were not known.

Sycamore woman wants them tossed in fatal DUI trial By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A 48-yearold Sycamore woman accused of having prescription drugs in her system during the crash that killed two 21-yearolds is asking a judge to keep some of her statements to police out of her trial. Attorneys for Patricia L. Schmidt argued this week that Sycamore police continued to question her April 6, 2011, after she told them she had an attorney. They want DeKalb County Presiding Patricia L. Judge Robbin Schmidt Stuckert to ban prosecutors from using those statements at Schmidt’s trial. Schmidt is charged with reckless homicide in connection with the crash that killed Timothy T. Getzelman of Sycamore and Alexis Y. Weber of Maple Park. Schmidt also has been charged with aggravated reckless driving and aggravated driving under the influence. The crash occurred Feb. 21, 2011, near Main Street and Peace Road in Sycamore. An analysis of Schmidt’s blood found the presence of multiple prescription drugs, including anti-anxiety drugs and sedatives, authorities said. According to the defense motion filed in November, Sycamore police searched Schmidt’s home April 6, 2011. She was arrested and taken to the Sycamore Police Department, where she told police she had legal representation, according to the defense motion. Sycamore police had Schmidt sign a Miranda waiver anyway and interrogated her, according to the defense motion. Her attorneys argued that statements she made during the interrogation should be inadmissible because she already had asserted her right to counsel. “Any statements she made to the police were obtained illegally and improperly,” defense attorney Jonathan Minkus said. Minkus declined to reveal what Schmidt said during that interrogation. Assistant State’s Attorney Phil Montgomery said Schmidt’s statements were video recorded. He said in the DVD record of the interview she mentions an attorney but did not ask to have one present at the interrogation. “I think it’s pretty clear ... she didn’t ask for an attorney,” Montgomery said. Stuckert plans to rule on the issue July 22.

Jessica Williams has always been involved in art. “Since I was 3 years old, I would answer the cliché question ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ with ‘I want to be an artist,’ ” Williams said. “I have never doubted that it was what I needed to do.” Now, the DeKalb artist is one of five finalists in a national art competition and could see her artwork displayed in a Vermont-based community center.

SYCAMORE – A Manufactured Packaging Products worker suffered serious injuries Tuesday after his hand became trapped in a heavy industrial roller machine, authorities said. Around 5:30 p.m., Sycamore police and fire departments responded to the incident at the manufacturing plant, located at 215 N. Fair St. in Sycamore. The worker’s hand was caught between the steel rollers of a cardboard packaging roller machine, said assistant Syc-
amore Fire Chief Art Zern. Roughly 18 paramedics, firefighters, police officers and industrial personnel worked for about an hour to dismantle the machinery and free the worker, Zern said. The worker was transported by a Lifeline Medical Helicopter to OSF Saint Anthony Medical Center in Rockford with injuries that were not life-threatening. After being trapped for such an extended period of time, Zern said the worker’s condition was serious Tuesday. But his surgeries went well and he was doing better Wednesday morning, Zern said. Zern declined to release the worker’s name.

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SYCAMORE – A DeKalb woman accused of breaking into an apartment and threatening someone inside pleaded not guilty Wednesday. Alicia M. Crider, 23, of the 900 block of Spiros Court, is seeking a jury trial on charges of home invasion, mob action and criminal trespass to a residence. Home invasion typically is punishable by between six and 30 years in prison; probation is not an option. Crider was arrested Feb. 16. That day, DeKalb police responded to a caller who
said people were running out of an apartment with a bat and a hammer, court records show. DeKalb police went to the 800 block of Greenbrier Road and found Crider in an argument with several other people, court records show. Crider, along with Mitchell R. Jenkins, 23; Jemario Corneilius, 26; and Elise E. Lewis, 19, told the police they were in an apartment because another person had stolen Crider’s laptop earlier that day, court records show. Crider is free after her parents posted her $5,000 bail Feb. 21, court records show. She will be in court July 8 for a status hearing.

8STATE BRIEF Grocery chain pushes to shift venue of breach suit
Road in DeKalb, filed a motion in Illinois’ St. Clair County Circuit Court to move the lawsuit, saying a federal venue would be more appropriate given potential damages. Schnucks announced in March that a security breach had been discovered, a breach that dated to December and could affect up to 2.4 million credit and debit cards of customers. The compa-
ny says safeguards are now in place. But many customers have reported fraudulent charges. The lawsuit was filed last month on behalf of a shopper at a Schnucks store in Belleville. The suit claims the company knew about the breach before it was revealed and should have told customers sooner. Schnucks says the lawsuit is meritless.

Prosecutors allege DeKalb ‘pill mill’ doctor had cohort By BRIDGET FLYNN bflynn@shawmedia.com DeKALB – A local doctor accused of illegally dispensing drugs that led to the deaths of at least three people hired a physician to issue prescriptions when he was absent, federal prosecutors say. Sterling residents Richard H. Ng, 61, and his wife, Lee Lee Foong, 54, were arrested May 15. He faces 89 counts of illegally dispensing controlled substances, conspiracy to dispense controlled substances and tax fraud in crimes said to have happened over about a 5-year period. She is charged with seven counts. Ng and Foong, his office manager whom he married in 2011, hired the unnamed
physician to dispense drugs to patients at both their Sauk Medical Clinic offices in Sterling and DeKalb, according the indictment. From January 2007 to October 2011, the couple conspired with the physician and with unnamed others to dispense Oxycodone, methadone, morphine and other pain medications “outside the course of professional practice and without a legitimate medical purpose,” according to the indictment. No information was available Tuesday on the doctor’s hometown and whether he or she will face charges. In an effort to maximize their billing, Ng and Foong scheduled multiple appointments in the same 15-minute time slots, and rushed patients through without
taking medical histories or obtaining medical records, without performing tests or even doing physical examinations, according to the indictment. Initial patient visits lasted 10 to 15 minutes or less, and subsequent visits lasted 5 minutes or less, according to the indictment. Foong determined the amount each patient paid, and charged some patients more if their visit with Ng lasted more than 10 minutes. They ignored signs of drug misuse and abuse and deliberately upped the frequency and dosage of their prescriptions, specifically to keep their patients coming back for more, and kept doing so even after they knew patients had died, prosecutors say in the indictment.
D-428 waiting on pre-K plan District to study early childhood center further By DAVID THOMAS dthomas@shawmedia.com DeKALB – DeKalb School District 428 board members took no action on a pre-kindergarten and early childhood education center this week, preferring to wait and study the issue more. Board members were presented with a choice to open Chesebro Elementary School as an early childhood center for either fall 2013 or fall 2014. However, board President Tom Matya said that although he felt the early child-
hood center was inevitable, it wasn’t time to approve it yet. “To pull that off in a short time frame is very hard to do,” Matya said in an interview. The educational benefits of having pre-kindergarten and early childhood education programs in one building are known to the officials. It’s the costs and implications of it that are giving them pause. The district would have to spend at least $425,000 to renovate Chesebro for students again. But they would also have to spend at least $283,000 a year to maintain the programs there, which concerned board member Victoria Newport. “It worries me that we’re
jumping into something extremely quick, especially since we’re adding about $300,000 to our budget,” Newport said. Moving pre-kindergarten and early childhood education out of Brooks, Jefferson and Tyler elementary schools would create open classrooms in those buildings. But shuffling classrooms around creates a districtwide ripple effect, and school officials have said they wanted more time to examine changing the elementary school attendance boundaries. Although board members expressed a desire to open the center for the 2014-2015 school year, they did not vote on it Tuesday.

‘Printed’ body part saves boy
Man being questioned in bomb probe fatally shot
The ASSOCIATED PRESS In a medical first, doctors used plastic particles and a 3-D laser printer to create an airway splint to save the life of a baby boy who used to stop breathing nearly every day. It’s the latest advance from the booming field of regenerative medicine, making body parts in the lab. Because of a birth defect, Kaiba Gionfriddo’s airway kept collapsing, causing his breathing to stop and often his heart, too. Doctors in Michigan had been researching artificial airway splints but had not implanted one in a patient yet. In a single day, they “printed out” 100 tiny tubes, using computer-guided lasers to stack and fuse thin layers of plastic instead of paper and ink to form various shapes and sizes. The next day, with special permission from the Food and Drug Administration, they implanted one of these tubes in Kaiba, the first time this has been done. Suddenly, a baby that doctors had said would probably not leave the hospital alive could breathe normally for the first time. The Ohio boy was 3 months old when the operation was done last year and is nearly 19 months old now.

ORLANDO, Fla. – A Chechen immigrant was shot to death by authorities in Florida early Wednesday after he turned violent while being questioned about his ties to one of the Boston Marathon bombing suspects, officials said. Ibragim Todashev, a 27-yearold mixed martial arts fighter, was fatally shot at his Orlando home during a meeting with an FBI agent and two Massachusetts state troopers, authorities said. The agent was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening. Three law enforcement officials, speaking on condition
of anonymity, said Todashev had lunged at the FBI agent with a knife. However, two of those officials later said it was no longer clear what had happened. The FBI gave no details on why it was interested in Todashev except to say that he was being questioned as part of the Boston investigation. However, two officials briefed on the investigation said he had implicated himself as having been involved in a 2011 triple-slaying in the Boston suburb of Waltham that authorities believe may have been connected to one of the men behind the bombings.

Sale items were organized in groups such as Christmas items, dolls, jewelry, clothes and more at the annual community garage sale Friday in DeKalb.
Fall also popular time for garage sales • GARAGE SALES Continued from page A1 “If they want to go as early as 6 a.m., that’s totally up to them,” Diehl said. There could be a few early risers out to shop around the community sales, but Borthwick most likely will not be one of them. “I keep hearing how other people get these nice things at garage sales,” she said.
“I’m just too busy.” Borthwick said she prefers to host her garage sales in the fall, when many Northern Illinois University students are looking for items to furnish apartments or dorm rooms. With the Bridges at Rivermist subdivision’s location near Annie Glidden Road, just off Bethany Road and First Street, Borthwick said her furniture is an easy sell that time of year.

• WALLAROO Continued from page A1 DeKalb County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Gary Dumdie said if anyone spots the baby wallaroo, they can call either the sheriff’s office at 815-895-2155 or DeKalb County Animal Control at 815758-6673. Both departments are aware of the missing pet and can contact the Clevelands if she is found, he said. “That person who had a few too many and thinks they saw something might actually have seen something,” Dumdie said. Cleveland said she got Willow in January in Texas, and that she did not have to obtain any special permit or license to keep her as a pet. While in the house, Willow wears a diaper, and Cleveland described her personality as laid-back. “She just stands there and lets me put the diaper on her,” she said. “She follows me around and wants to snuggle with me all the time. I’ve been sick, and the other day I slept all day, and she just slept right with me. I think they’re a better pet than a dog.” Wallaroos spend the first 8 months of their lives in their mother’s pouch, so Willow has not spent much time with people other than the Cleveland family. Dumdie suggested people not try to catch her if they see her, since she may defend herself. Cleveland said the wallaroo will roll up into a blanket if it is thrown over her, or will somersault into an open pillowcase as if it is her mother’s pouch and will lie still. Willow is likely to be more active closer to nightfall, she said.

Safety outside ‘Tornado Alley’
‘Obama scandals’ may actually hurt GOP Republican politicians and activists can barely contain their glee at the simultaneous eruption of three major controversies about the Obama administration. Conservatives are at a low boil over the administration’s dissembling about its actions after the attacks on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya. The public is concerned about the targeting of conservative groups by the Internal Revenue Service. And even liberals are outraged by the administration’s heavy-handed investigations of leaks to the news media. Finally, many Republicans think, the tide is turning against the Democrats. Republican strategists – and the few conservatives on Capitol Hill who were in Washington during the Clinton years – are less excited. They fear that the party is about to repeat the mistakes it made in 1998. Early that year, it came to light that President Bill Clinton had had a sexual relationship with a White House intern and lied about it to the public, to a court in a civil suit and to a grand jury in a criminal case. Congressional Republicans tried to remove him from office. The public hated the idea, and Republicans lost seats in the fall elections. They had been expected to make significant gains because the opposition party usually did in the sixth year of a presidency. House Speaker Newt Gingrich lost his job largely as a result. Watch the way the Republicans are handling today’s controversies and it’s easy to see how their tactics could backfire again. You would expect that Sen. Lindsey Graham, who helped to lead the impeachment proceedings against Clinton, had learned to be cautious in pursuing a scandal. Yet he decided to tie the Benghazi investigation explicitly to the 2016 presidential race, saying that the controversy
VIEWS Ramesh Ponnuru would doom Hillary Clinton. If Graham were a Democratic plant trying to make the investigation look like a merely partisan exercise, he couldn’t have done better. Republicans are trying to tie IRS misconduct to President Barack Obama, so far without much evidence. The Republican National Committee is demanding that the president apologize to targeted groups, apparently on the assumption that the public isn’t satisfied with his calling the IRS’s actions “intolerable and inexcusable.” Other Republicans are saying that the president created a “culture” that made the scandal possible by being a partisan Democrat. These efforts are strained. If the evidence leads to the conclusion that the IRS bureaucracy acted on its own, that is scandal enough; it would serve to strengthen the public’s conservative instincts about the dangers of trusting the government, whoever happens to be in the Oval Office. Republicans shouldn’t be obsessed with Obama, who won’t be on the ballot again, and shouldn’t make a legitimate inquiry into potential abuses of power appear to be – or, worse, actually be – part of a personal vendetta. The biggest danger for Republicans in giving themselves over to scandal mania is one that the conventional retelling of the Clinton impeachment neglects. Republicans didn’t lose seats simply because they overreached on Clinton’s perjury. It is true that his impeachment was unpopular, and public approval of the Republicans sank as they pursued it. Still, only 5 percent of voters in the 1998 election told exit pollsters that the scan-
dal had played a role in their decision, and Republicans got a majority of those voters. Social Security was the top issue for more than twice as many voters, and Republicans lost that issue by 18 percentage points. Even more voters cared about education, which Republicans lost by 34 points. They lost on health care and the economy by similar margins. For the most part, Republicans didn’t campaign on impeachment in 1998: They didn’t say, “Vote for me and I’ll do my level best to oust Clinton.” Their strategy was more passive. They were counting on the scandal to motivate conservatives to vote while demoralizing liberals. So they didn’t try to devise a popular agenda, or to make their existing positions less unpopular. That’s what cost them – that, and the mistake of counting on statistics about sixth-year elections, which also bred complacency. Republicans have similar vulnerabilities on the issues now. They have no real health care agenda. Voters don’t trust them to look out for middle-class economic interests. Republicans are confused and divided about how to solve the party’s problems. What they can do is unite in opposition to the Obama administration’s scandals and mistakes. So that’s what they’re doing. They’re trying to win news cycles when they need votes. Congressional Republicans were right to press for hearings on all of these issues. But investigations of the administration won’t supply them with ideas. They won’t make the public trust Republicans. They won’t save them from themselves.
a domestic dispute with his ex-wife. However, most of the 3,374 cases involved young men in lower to middle ranks. Their victims 88 percent of the time were enlisted women. Drinking was cited as a factor in many cases. But it would be a mistake for military officials, as one general on the Joint Chiefs said, to let alcohol assume too large a role. It suggests an outdated narrative that the attacker cannot control himself, or that consent is implied when the victim and attacker are both inebriated.

the military as well. A major difference appears to be the false perception that a service member who accuses another service member of sexual assault is breaking the chain of command, almost “snitching.” The military can and must start to turn the tide against this sort of thinking within its own ranks. This cannot wait, or be slow-walked, because every crime committed, prosecuted or not, diminishes the most important attribute of a successful military: trust. That trust should begin with service members doing no harm to one another.

Military must address sex assault problem The Pentagon’s report found that there were 3,374 reports of sexual assault in the 2012 fiscal year. But that’s only those who came forward to formally complain: Anonymous surveys of service members indicate the real number is more like 26,000. Even with such numbers available, it is unlikely that many Americans would have heard about it, except for a spate of cases in which officers in charge of preventing sexual assault and harassment were themselves accused; one of them was the manager of the sexual assault response at Fort Campbell. He was arrested in

By focusing on broad goals, our state’s leaders can compromise and create an effective and fair pension reform program. It won’t be easy, but there is a good chance of Illinois having a workable and equitable public employee pension reform package on the books when the General Assembly calls it quits at the end of the month. What it will take is cooperation and compromise, the ingredients of a state legislature that once was considered a model for the nation. Pension reform is an ideal playing field for our lawmakers, even if the state’s political writers are generally describing the task as a showdown between two of the state’s most powerful officials – House Speaker Mike Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton. That’s because Madigan and Cullerton are backing different proposals to bring the state’s staggering and growing pension debt under control. Currently estimated as a $100 billion debt, the public pension funding shortfall is the nation’s worst – resulting from legislators repeatedly failing to make full pension payments and the longer life spans of state retirees. Madigan’s plan won approval in the House; Cullerton’s proposal got the green light in the Senate. Cullerton’s plan has some union support and would give state employees several choices for cutting costs. They could choose to keep cost-of-living raises but give up state health insurance after retirement or they could keep the insurance benefit and take a lower cost-of-living raise. The plan could save $46 billion over 30 years – far less than the $150 billion in projected savings in the Madigan plan. What needs to happen next is a meeting of the minds between Madigan, Cullerton and Gov. Pat Quinn, who publicly called the Madigan plan “the biggest step to date towards restoring fiscal stability to Illinois.” This is a time for them to work collegially and exhibit the kind of leadership the residents of Illinois expect and deserve. Get together, gentlemen, and create a plan of action that immediately controls and ultimately eliminates pension debt, avoids a constitutional challenge, protects current retirees and steers clear of shifting the state-created burden to local taxpayers.

The U.S. military has a crime problem and scarcely seems to know it. Aided by some high-ranking officers and some antiquated policies regarding chain of command, servicemen and even some servicewomen have committed sexual assault at rates that will no longer go ignored. That, and the fact that the very officers entrusted to combat sexual abuse and sexual harassment have in some cases been among the violators. It is not a situation to make light of, as Donald Trump recently did, and neither is it a matter to keep quiet; that has been tried and failed to work.
This might not be the heart of “Tornado Alley,” but our area is hardly immune to the kind of catastrophic events that struck Moore, Okla., this week. Utica, less than 60 miles south of DeKalb, was hit by an F3 tornado in April 2004 that killed eight people. Illinois is the site of multiple tornadoes every year, including last year, when the National Weather Service said that 30 tornadoes were observed, including one Feb. 29 that killed eight in southern Illinois. Tornadoes in Illinois are most common from April through June, the weather service says. In other words, right now. Tips for tornado preparedness include: • Know where to take shelter in your home, school or workplace. Recommended shelter areas are in the basement under the stairwell, or interior closets or small rooms away from windows on the ground For the record floor of the building. • In a disaster, firefightTornadoes can strike ers may not be available to with little warning, and help immediately. Be prehistory shows northern pared to be self-sufficient Illinois is at risk. Make sure for some period of time by you and your family are putting together an emerprepared. gency supply kit with firstaid supplies, food, water and other necessities. • Plan for how you will get in touch with family members after a disaster. Designated meeting places are one way to do this. • Weather radios that pick up National Weather Service broadcasts are also recommended. The local broadcasts also are available online at weather.admin.niu.edu/liveaudio. This also is a good time for businesses, school officials and others to review their tornado response plans to ensure they can work as efficiently and safely as possible. And the tragedy should also be a reminder to us that those periodic tests of the emergency broadcast system or the local warning siren are more than just background noise. As we saw this week, tornadoes can strike with little warning. Obviously, rebuilding will be a daunting task for the newest tornado victims, and they will need help. Already, Kevin Durant of the NBA’s Oklahoma City Thunder has pledged $1 million to the Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund for the relief effort – a remarkable gesture for which he should be commended. Those who would like to follow his example can donate online at www.redcross.org/charitable-donations. To donate $10 to the relief fund, text “REDCROSS” to 90999 on a mobile phone, or call 1-800-7332767. Although we all hope never to go through what residents in Moore are experiencing today, it’s critical to remember that tornadoes happen here, too, and we must be prepared to act quickly if the time comes.

Cook’s best not enough Spartans cruise past Rochelle

Woods: Garcia comment hurtful, time to move on Sergio Garcia apologized to Tiger Woods for saying he would serve fried chicken if they were to have dinner at the U.S. Open, an ugly addition to nearly two weeks of verbal sparring. What had been a celebration of European golf at an awards dinner south of London shifted suddenly to a racially sensitive moment involving Woods, the No. 1 golfer in the world and the only player of African-American heritage on the PGA Tour. Garcia said he meant to give a funny answer to a playful question, and it turned out to be “totally stupid and out of place.” “I feel sick about it and I feel truly, truly sorry,” he said Wednesday from the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth, site of the European Tour’s flagship event. The two golfers have exchanged barbs the past 11 days, dating to the third round of The Players Championship when Garcia implied that Woods purposely stirred up the gallery as the Spaniard was playing a shot. Woods said it was not surprising that Garcia was complaining. Garcia and his Ryder Cup teammates were at a dinner Tuesday night when the emcee, Golf Channel’s Steve Sands, jokingly asked Garcia if he would have Woods over for dinner during the U.S. Open. “We’ll have him round every night,” Garcia replied. “We will serve fried chicken.” – Wire report

UNLIKELY PATH TO STATE H-BR’s Madden qualifies in 300 hurdles, an event he started midway through season By ROSS JACOBSON rjacobson@shawmedia.com When Jared Madden first started track practice last winter, he was hesitant to compete in the hurdle events. The Hinckley-Big Rock senior was a hurdler in middle school, qualifying for the IESA state meet as a sixth- and seventh-grader. But track and field wasn’t a priority for Madden when he got to high school. Instead, he starred for the Royals’ soccer and basketball teams and
helped lead the soccer team to a third-place finish in 2012. As a senior, Madden decided to revive his track career, but he didn’t carry big expectations for himself. “It was my last year of high school and I didn’t want it to be over yet with sports and with basketball ending the way it did,” Madden said. “My friends from basketball, some of them do track and I like being part of the team.” So H-BR coach Greg Burks put Madden in a variety of events early in the season as

In Friday’s sectional meet, it all came together as Madden ran a season-best 41.0, breaking a 20-year school record and winning the sectional title to qualify for the Class 1A state meet at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston.

GAME 4: BLACKHAWKS AT DETROIT, 7 P.M. TODAY, NBCSN, AM-720
NBA
Red Wings ready for Hawks’ best shot Howard, defenders confident in game plan versus Hawks By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@shawmedia.com DETROIT – Jimmy Howard sat in front of his locker for nearly 25 minutes Wednesday morning, settling in as one of the reasons the Detroit Red Wings hold a 2-1 edge over the Blackhawks in the Western Conference semifinals. After making 39 saves in Detroit’s Game 3 victory, Howard speaks with the kind of confidence and assurance enjoyed by playoff-tested goalkeepers. But as good as he and his Red Wings teammates have been over the past two games, Howard understands the Hawks have plenty of incentive to start strong in Thursday night’s Game 4 at Joe Louis Arena. “We know they’re going to come out flying,” Howard said. “I know if it was me, that’s what I would do – I would probably have my best game in Game 4,

Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard (right) stops a shot by Blackhawks left wing Viktor Stalberg on Monday as defenseman Carlo Colaiacovo trails during the third period of Game 3 of their Western Conference semifinal series in Detroit. so it’s going to be on us to focus in that much more and go out here and get the job done.” The Red Wings have neutralized a Hawks offense that was one of only six in the NHL to average at least three goals a game. Patrick Kane has accounted for both of the Hawks’ goals in the past two games after the Hawks scored four goals
in a one-sided Game 1 win. Detroit’s penalty kill has been nearly flawless in the first three games of the series, allowing only one goal on the Hawks’ nine power play chances. Howard has played a key role in that success, but the Red Wings’ penalty killers have gotten into scoring lanes and have all but eliminated opportunities for the
Hawks’ power play to get rolling. “They’ve got so much talent and so much firepower up front, and even on the back end there with (Duncan) Keith and (Brent) Seabrook and (Nick) Leddy, it doesn’t matter who it is, the list goes on,” Red Wings defenseman Niklas Kronwell said Wednesday. “So we just have to keep doing a good job of being in the lanes and leave them the outside.” Red Wings coach Mike Babcock likes the way his defense has responded to handling the Hawks’ top scorers. But the key to continuing to do that is limiting the opportunities and space scorers such as Kane, Jonathan Toews, Marian Hossa and Patrick Sharp have to create scoring chances. If they don’t, Babcock knows, it’s just a matter of time before the Hawks’ scoring punch returns. “The last game, I thought we were good for two periods, and then we stood around and watched [the Hawks] play in the third,” Babcock said. “We can’t play like that if we’re going to have success in Game 4. We have to play a full 60 (minutes).”

Red Wings goalie Jimmy Howard stops a shot by Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews on Monday in Detroit. Game 4 of their Western Conference semifinal series is tonight in Detroit.
Hawks: Game 4 is ‘huge’ DETROIT – Wander from one dressing room stall to another, fight your way through the scrum of TV cameras and microphones, and the answers all tend to sound the same. Oh, the words and the accents with which the sound bites are delivered from playoff-bearded mouths may vary. But regardless how responses are worded, the message coming from the Blackhawks is essentially identical. Just in case you weren’t aware, Game 4 of the Western Conference semifinals has a lot riding on it for the Hawks. Win, and the home-ice advantage that everyone makes such a big deal about swings back into the Hawks’ favor. Win, and back-to-back losses to the Detroit Red Wings are forgotten and filed under “lessons learned” in what becomes a best-of-three series that returns to Chicago on Saturday night. But lose tonight at Joe Lou-
VIEWS Jeff Arnold is Arena, and, well, let’s just say things wouldn’t look good for a team that would have to settle for being the proud owners of the NHL’s President’s Trophy. And we all know mayor Rahm Emanuel’s not going to pay for a Michigan Avenue ticker tape parade for that. Suffice it to say, there’s plenty at stake. “It’s going to be 2-2 or 3-1,” Hawks forward Marian Hossa said Tuesday in Chicago. “That’s a huge difference.” Hossa used “huge” twice in a matter of only four sentences, conveying a message that’s not exactly of the breaking news variety. There now is urgency for a team that seemed to skate through the regular season relatively tension-free. The pressure is now on a team that
never lost three straight games during the regular season, but that – with a third straight loss to the Red Wings – would return to the United Center on the verge of being kindly escorted out of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Historians – well, sportswriters with too much time on their hands – point to 2010 when the Hawks trailed Nashville, 2-1, in the first round of the playoffs before reeling off four straight victories en route to capturing the Stanley Cup. Jonathan Toews remembers the Nashville series well. The key, the Hawks captain said, is to focus on not only taking one game at a time, but one shift at a time. Then Toews – who still hasn’t scored a playoff goal in 2013 – uttered these words. “We’ve been in worse situations than this.” Well, not this year, but we get the message. There is no panic in the Hawks’ dressing room and no one looking for sympathy.
But there is resolve from a team that understands, like Hossa, that there is a world of difference between returning to Chicago with the series tied and being forced to win three straight games against Detroit, which is playing with the swagger the Hawks seemed to have all season. So yeah, tonight’s Game 4 is ... OK, OK, you get the idea. “You throw around terms like must-win and all that – I think every game in the playoffs is a must-win,” Hawks forward Patrick Sharp said. “You can spin every game however you want. Every game is huge. You want to win every time you take the ice. Being down 2-1 in their building and obviously that game – Game 4 – is really big.”

Hiawatha baseball, softball both lose By DAILY CHRONICLE STAFF sports@daily-chronicle.com The Hiawatha baseball team’s season ended Wednesday with a 7-6 loss to Freeport in a Class 1A River Ridge Sectional semifinal. The Hawks fought back, scoring three runs in the seventh, and the final out was recorded with two runners in scoring position. “We had our chances. It ended up coming down to the last out and the guys really battled back in the seventh,” Hiawatha coach Sean Donnelly said. “... They played tough, was really proud of them for that.” Tyler Burger went 3 for 4 with two RBIs for Hiawatha, while Mike Mercado had two RBIs. Will Corn finished with a double and an RBI, and Nick Doolittle had an RBI and scored three runs. The Hawks end the season 11-9-2, a year that included the program’s first regional championship. “It’s a tough way to end it, and, unfortunately, when you get into regionals and sectionals, most teams are going to end with a loss,” Donnelly said. “The kids are heartbroken by it, but I think in a couple days when things have died down, I think they’ll realize how special this was.”

The Pretzels scored twice more within the next 13 minutes, one off a corner kick and the third coming off the foot of Haley Swords, who curled a left-footed shot in from 12 yards out on the left side of the penalty box. “We took a little bit of time getting going,” Sycamore coach Dave Lichamer said. “I didn’t really want to see that, but it happens.” Sycamore got on the scoreboard in the 28th minute when Miller sent a chip over the top to Kohler, who was just even with the Freeport sweeper.

INDIANAPOLIS 500, 11 A.M. SUNDAY, ABC
Young drivers give IndyCar foundation By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press INDIANAPOLIS – Graham Rahal and Marco Andretti have all the ingredients the IndyCar Series has been craving. They have famous family names, have reached Victory Lane and seem to enjoy playing up their growing rivalry. The bold, budding stars represent a whole new kind of IndyCar driver – the guys and gals who finally could become this series’ cornerstone fixtures for a generation to Marco come. Andretti “This is a pretty young group,” Rahal said. “There are a lot of young people here who you could see at this track for the next 20 years. I think that’s a great thing and we hope that’s the case.” It’s not the first time IndyCar has pinned its future hopes on a bunch of 20-somethings. Those young, fresh faces in the 1960s carried names such as Mario Andretti and A.J. Foyt and Al and Bobby Unser. They emerged as the foundation for IndyCar’s glory days, and when they left in the late ’80s or early to mid ’90s, there weren’t enough young up-and-comers to replace them. Drivers such as Jeff Gordon and Tony Stewart, who developed their skills in the openwheel feeder systems, wound up finding better opportunities and more money with NASCAR. Juan Pablo Montoya
left for Formula One during the split IndyCar-CART and eventually wound up in Cup, too. The emigration eventually took established open-wheel stars such as Dario Franchitti, Sam Hornish Jr. and Danica Patrick, although Franchitti returned to IndyCar after one failed season in NASCAR. Now things could be changing. These young open-wheel drivers are getting chances to prove themselves and they seem committed to hanging around for a while. Rahal, now 24, broke Andretti’s record as the youngest winner in IndyCar history five years ago and finished second at Long Beach after making the switch to another new team, Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. His father, Bobby, is one of the co-owners and the 1986 Indy winner. The younger Rahal will start 26th in Sunday’s race. Andretti, 26, also drives for his father, Michael, has had four straight top-10 finishes, all on the road and street courses that had caused him so much grief over the years. And during the offseason, Andretti redoubled his efforts to win a championship by seeking advice from a driving coach to help with the nonovals. The abundance of young talent runs far deeper than just the big names. Two years ago, JR Hildebrand was one corner away from becoming the first American rookie to win the 500 since Louis Meyer in 1928. He’s had five top-fives in his last 36 races and just missed making Indy’s pole shootout last weekend.
while lowering his AL-leading ERA to 1.73. He also matched the best start by a Boston pitcher since Josh Beckett in 2007 and joined Tampa Bay’s Matt Moore and Arizona’s Patrick Corbin as the only unbeaten pitchers in the majors with seven or more wins. The only run he allowed came on an RBI groundout in the third by Alex Rios, who also extended his career-high hitting streak to 17 with a single in the sixth. The White Sox also got a solo homer from Paul Konerko off Andrew Bailey. Otherwise, the White Sox couldn’t get the big hit. They were 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position after doing all their scoring with two outs while winning the previous two games 6-4 and 3-1.

The Associated Press PITTSBURGH – Francisco Liriano continued his torrid start, scattering two hits over seven innings, and the Pittsburgh Pirates edged the Cubs, 1-0, on Wednesday night. Liriano (3-0) struck out nine and walked only one to remain unbeaten since making his season debut against the New York Mets two weeks ago. Mark Melancon survived a bumpy ninth inning for his first save of the season. Andrew McCutchen doubled twice for the Pirates and scored the game’s only run on an RBI single by Garrett Jones in the first. Pittsburgh has won 10 of 12 to move 10 games over .500 (28-18).

at Pittsburgh, 11:35 a.m. today, CSN, AM-720 (2-6) nearly matched Liriano pitch for pitch, giving up only three hits in seven innings, but received no help. The Cubs have dropped four of five. The Pirates agreed to terms with the former AllStar in December, but Liriano signed a more incentive-laden deal after breaking his right (nonthrowing) arm in a freak accident on Christmas Day. It certainly is looking like a bargain now. The left-hander has spent most of the five seasons attempting to regain the form he showed as a 22-yearold phenom with the Minne-
sota Twins in 2006, when he went 12-3 with a 2.16 ERA and made the All-Star team on his way to finishing third in AL Rookie of the Year voting. His path to stardom was sidetracked by Tommy John surgery in 2007, although he appears to have found a home in Pittsburgh. Mixing his offspeed stuff with a rejuvenated fastball refined by a tweak to his delivery, Liriano has joined A.J. Burnett and Wandy Rodriguez in giving the Pirates a respectable top of the rotation. He was solid in his first two starts in wins over the Mets and Milwaukee. He was spectacular at times against the Cubs. He retired 14 of 15 batters at one point and managed to expertly wiggle out of the lone spot of trouble in the third.

FAST&FURIOUS 6
Features editor Inger Koch • ikoch@shawmedia.com
High-octane action flick is quality escapism By JEFFREY WESTHOFF
W
Shaw Media
hen it comes to the “Fast & Furious” series, the Borg had it right: “Resistance is futile.” These high-octane action movies featuring tough guys and super-stocked cars have been dumb from the start. But as director Justin Lin, who came aboard with the third entry, has made every successive movie bigger and more ridiculous, the franchise has come precipitously close to quality escapism. Grudgingly or otherwise, you have to hand it to the team behind the “F&F” franchise. While most blockbuster series sputter out after the third film, this one had its biggest box-office success with its fifth, called “Fast Five.” Its follow-up, “Fast & Furious 6” (an uncharacteristically straightforward sequel title for this series) probably won’t hit that height again, but it ends exhibiting full confidence for a seventh installment. Director James Wan (“Saw”) already has it in preproduction. How has this scrappy series hung in with such tenacity? Unlike many other blockbuster franchises, its characters have become more likeable with every entry instead of more annoying, and the chase scenes have been well-staged and excitingly edited, not just a jumble of violent images (although one sequence in the new film breaks that rule). Mostly, this series keeps chugging away on a sly attitude. Although the cast plays every scene with straight faces, it becomes increasingly obvious the actors know these films are a load of malarkey. They’re in on the joke. To recap things quickly, way back in the first film, Brian O’Connor (Paul Walker) was an FBI agent assigned to infiltrate
‘Fast & Furious 6’
HH 1/2
Starring: Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez Rating: PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action and mayhem throughout, and for some sexuality and language Running time: 2 hours, 10 minutes Summary: A federal agent (Johnson) recruits the hard-driving crew led by Diesel and Walker to take on a gang of high-tech hot-rodders stealing military equipment across Europe. The catch is that Diesel’s dead girlfriend (Rodriguez) is actually alive part of the new gang.
a gang of street-racing criminals led by Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel). Somewhere along the way, Brian switched sides and now he and Dom are like brothers, living in luxury abroad after stealing $100 million from a Rio drug kingpin in the last movie. They had some help from U.S. operative Luke Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson). “F&F 6” begins by repeating the cliffhanger from “Fast Five’s” credits, the revelation that Dom’s girlfriend Letty (Michelle Rodriguez) survived her presumed death in the fourth film and is now a member of a highway hijacking gang operating in Europe. Hobbs wants to bring down this European gang because apparently he is the top operative of a U.S. law-enforcement agency tasked with stopping highway hijacking gangs worldwide. This must be a bigger problem than the media is letting on. Hobbs wants Dom and Brian to reassemble the team of “F&F” all-stars from the fifth movie to bust this new gang, saying, “You want to catch wolves, you need wolves.” Funny, I thought you would need Purina Wolf Chow. Lupine reasoning aside, Tyrese Gibson,
Chris “Ludacris” Bridges, Sun Kang and a few others join the team in London, where Hobbs explains their objective. Letty’s new gang is led by former British special forces soldier Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) whose crew is hitting military convoys and stealing components necessary to construct the Nightshade device, which can shut off the power to an entire country. Or something like that. Chris Morgan’s script doesn’t bother with details. With a British setting and a super weapon at stake, “F&F 6” hints at becoming a James Bond movie with muscle cars the same way “Fast Five” was “Ocean’s 11” with muscle cars. But aside from a 007 joke delivered by comic relief Bridges and an Aston Martin DB5 glimpsed at an auto auction, the Bond angle fizzles out and Lin rehashes “F&F” beats, thinking up ways to stage vehicular mayhem in the streets of London. This turns out to be easy because, according to this movie, only two police cars patrol the entire metropolitan area at any given time. Morgan wrote the script for fans who have purchased box sets of the previous movies and watched them over and over. After six films, the character histories and interactions have achieved a Tolkien level of complexity. Halfway into the story, Brian realizes Shaw is in league with the villain from the fourth movie, so he goes on a side mission to sneak back into the United States and infiltrate a maximum security prison to question Bad Guy No. 4 about Bad Guy No. 6. The significant new face in “F&F 6” belongs to Gina Carano, who plays Hobbs’ partner. Carano is the mixed martial arts champion who made a sensational film debut in Steven Soderbergh’s “Haywire.” Once Carano appears, one or two knockdown, drag-out brawls with Rodriguez are inevitable. In reality, Rodriguez wouldn’t last three seconds against Carano, but I think we’ve established the “F&F” series
has little connection with reality. That can be fun in the action sequences, once you relinquish any hope that the laws of physics – or of physiology – will be obeyed. The “F&F” films have mastered the outlandish, and it is a kick to see a squadron of American muscle cars confronting a tank on a multilane Spanish highway. Lin attempts to top this with a climactic game of chicken on a military base where Dom’s crew of car warriors weaves around, and inside, a jumbo-sized Russian cargo plane attempting takeoff. The chase lasts about 10 minutes, and yet the runway just goes on and on. Ignoring the runway’s incredible length, the main problem with this sequence is that it takes place at night and the little cars zipping around the giant plane all look the same in the dark. You lose track of whose car is in peril at the moment. These films require an Olympian suspension of disbelief, and it would be so much easier to roll with the saga’s absurdities if Morgan could reveal exposition without the characters stating it and restating it. During the first 20 minutes, everyone is reminding each other what the stakes are. “We’re not dealing with cops and we’re not dealing with drug dealers,” Brian says. “It’s a whole different level.” Thereafter, every scene begins with someone saying what happened in the previous scene. Picture books are written with a higher regard for their audience’s attention span. Still, when “Fast & Furious 6” delivers, it delivers. It has become customary for a franchise film to drop a scene into the credits that whips up excitement for the next installment, usually with a shock to make fans gasp. The bombshell dropped at the end of this movie is the best teaser ever, better even than Samuel L. Jackson’s “Iron Man” cameo. So help me, I’m actually looking forward to “Fast & Furious 7.”

Review: ‘Hangover’ trilogy ends on a dark note By CHRISTY LEMIRE AP Movie Critic “Daring” isn’t a word you would use very much to describe 2011’s “The Hangover Part II,” the disappointingly lazy, beat-for-beat rehash of the wild and wildly successful original “Hangover” from 2009. And yet, here we are with “The Hangover Part III,” which runs a different sort of risk by going to darker and more dangerous places than its predecessors, both artistically and emotionally. It dares to alienate the very audience that made “The Hangover” the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time because, well, it isn’t exactly a comedy. Sure, there are some outrageous lines and sight gags, mostly courtesy of Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong, who function as central figures this time when, previously, a little bit of them went a long way. (This was also a potentially alienating decision.) But director and co-writer Todd Phillips signals early and often that he’s much more interested than ever before in exploring matters of real consequence, rather than simply mining them for brash laughs. Phillips and co-writer Craig Mazin have placed the unusual challenge on themselves of trying to create something bold and new while simultaneously remaining true to the trilogy and wrapping it all up in a satisfying way. They succeed somewhat; simply trying to be creative marks a huge improvement from part two. This time, Galifianakis’ insufferable, inappropriate man-child Alan has gone off his meds and is out of control. His family and friends – including fellow “Wolfpack” members Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) – stage an intervention and offer to drive him to a treatment center in Arizona. And so the four venture off on yet another journey, once again assuming their familiar roles: arrogant English teacher Phil is the

‘The Hangover Part III’
HHH
Rating: R for pervasive language including sexual references, some violence and drug content, and brief graphic nudity Running time: 1 hour, 40 minutes Starring: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis Summary: This time there’s no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.
de facto leader, Stu is the cautious and neurotic dentist and Doug is the bland and stable voice of reason. In theory, this should be a pretty innocuous trek through the desert. But this is a “Hangover” movie. So, naturally, they get run off the road by masked thugs who work for
crime boss Marshall (John Goodman, who improves everything merely by showing up). Turns out, some of their actions in Las Vegas four years ago have tied them to the evil, effeminate gangster Leslie Chow (Jeong) and put them in trouble with some powerful, volatile people. (Chow, we see in the prologue, has escaped a Bangkok prison, sparking an epic riot captured in dramatic, visceral detail by Phillips’ frequent cinematographer Lawrence Sher.) Now, they must make things right by finding Chow. And of course, there’s a deadline, with Doug serving as collateral. Their assignment takes them to Tijuana and the rolling hills of northern Mexico until, inevitably, they must end up back in Vegas. In keeping with the tone of part three, this depiction of the city isn’t sparkly and full of promise, but rather seedy and
foreboding. Las Vegas does, however, serve as the location for some rare moments of heartfelt emotion. One comes courtesy of Melissa McCarthy, in typical scene-stealing fashion, as the pawn-shop clerk who turns out to be Alan’s trashy, mulleted soul mate. The guys also revisit Stu’s first wife, ex-stripper Jade (Heather Graham), and find that she’s living a happy suburban life with her son, who’s now 4. The child actor who plays him, Grant Holmquist, was one of several infants used in the original “Hangover” as Baby Carlos and is the one featured prominently in that film’s posters. It’s a nice touch. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Chow is more than just a silly, bisexual cokehead this time around. He’s clearly a sociopath, and the group’s association with him is
more than just a nuisance. Jeong gets a bit more room to explore the role and finds a bit more shading, but if you hate this character, you might just hate this entire movie, as well. Similarly, Galifianakis gets way more screen time here; he’s essentially the star of “The Hangover Part III,” with Cooper and Helms fading into reliable supporting roles. (Bartha once again misses out on the adventures.) The character of Alan is still odd and off-putting, unorthodox and unpredictable. But his loneliness and neediness shine through, which makes one of the more out-there figures in the “Hangover” universe unexpectedly relatable. Your expectations – and keeping them in check – are a crucial factor here. This isn’t a party: This finally, truly is the hangover. And it’s also the recovery.

Landscape paintings exhibited at Art Box A memorial exhibition of post-retirement paintings by Richard Beard will be on display at The Art Box, 308 E. Lincoln Highway in downtown DeKalb, from June 2 through 28. An opening reception is scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. June 2.

KSO general manager honored Amanda Nelson, general manager of the Kishwaukee Symphony Orchestra, has been named the Illinois Council of Orchestras sole recipient of a 2013 Honorable Mention Award, as a designation of a person who has made outstanding contributions to an orchestra in Illinois. The award was presented at the KSO’s spring concert May 4 by Brian Shilander, a member of the ICO Board. Gregory Clemons, director of the ICO Awards Program, said, “The ICO Awards Selection Committee occasionally awards honorable mention recognition to organizations or individuals that were not selected as winners in a specific category, but whose achievements in that category were so impressive that some kind of recognition was warranted. The criteria for such an award are the same as those for the winner in that category. Making such an award is at the collective discretion of the ICO Awards Selection Committee. It provides the committee with the opportunity to recognize significant achievement in a specific category even though another organization or

Local pianist headed to Carnegie Hall Northern Illinois University music graduate student Yao Lin will play Carnegie Hall in New York City on Monday. She will play a world premiere of “Evening Song of a Fishing Boat,” written by well-known Chinese composer Jianzhong Wang who dedicated this work to Professor William Goldenberg, the chairman of NIU’s piano department. Yao Lin was invited to play the recital after winning the second prize in both concerto and solo contests in the American Protégé International Piano and String Competition. Lin began her piano study when she was 8 years old. She left China when she was 15 to enroll in the legendary Odessa Conservatory where she spent the next six years.
