Schools Head Finds a Formula
Data-Driven Approach Helps St. Louis Become Latest System to Improve Grades
ST. LOUIS—Five years ago, students in the public-school system here were almost as likely to drop out as earn a diploma. School-board meetings routinely devolved into shouting matches, with a board member once pouring a pitcher of ice water over an administrator's head.
Then, the state of Missouri stepped in, stripped the district's accreditation and installed a new board to run the schools. That board hired Kelvin Adams, an unpretentious leader who had spent the previous 18 months as the chief of staff of the New Orleans...

Mehrdad received his doctoral degree in 1999 from the Wallenberg Neuroscience Center of Lund University in Sweden. He was recruited to the San Francisco Bay Area the same year where he held several positions at biopharmaceutical companies, including Affymax and AGY Therapeutics, until 2008. During this time he was responsible for the discovery and development of novel neuroprotective and regenerative small molecule and peptide therapeutics for multiple diseases. As the program leader for neuroprotection and regeneration programs at AGY Therapeutics, his work enabled several patent applications, scientific publications, and an IND application and subsequent clinical trials. These years of experience in industry built on his extensive background in CNS drug discovery and preclinical development.
In 2008, Mehrdad joined Stanford University to establish a new behavioral neuropharmacology center for the neuroscience institute. He also formed his own research laboratory to focus on understanding normal and pathological brain functions for neurological disorders such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease (AD), and autism. Efforts are currently directed towards a subset of genes and proteins involved in neuroprotective or neurodegenerative pathways, which are regulated in these disorders. Through these investigations, Mehrdad and his team hope to understand the processes leading to the functional and behavioral malfunction in these disorders and develop experimental therapeutics. The ultimate goal is to accelerate the translation of these experimental discoveries into novel therapeutic approaches, to improve the quality of life for patients with brain disorders.

From Chucky to 'Vampire Diaries,' Schaumburg native makes living behind the camera
Cinematographer Paolo Cascio understands that working in the movie business is anything but predictable.
"The thing about working in movies is that you never know if something will be a hit or a flop. Never know," he said over lunch in Schaumburg on a recent visit home to see his parents.
'I'm not looking for the perfect girl'Paolo Cascio is a good-looking, successful Hollywood cameraman. And, yes, still single at 49.
"When someone can impact my life the same way that photography has, I'll buckle at the knees and it will be over!" Cascio told us. "That's just not happened yet. Many women have captured my eyes, but none has captured my heart, yet. It would take someone so unique to do that.
"I've had people wonder why I'm not married, like, 'What's wrong with you? There must be something wrong with you if you don't have a girlfriend.' What's that supposed to mean?
"I'm not looking for the perfect girl. I'm looking for the girl who's perfect for me."
"All of these millions of elements have to come together at the right time at the right place in order for audiences to connect with the movie, connect with it emotionally."
Like, what?
"When I worked on 'The Babe,' I thought this would be the greatest movie I would ever work on, because of the historical nature of the story," he said of the film, based on the life of Babe Ruth.
"'Babe' tanked! And there's Arthur Hiller directing it, and he's the president of the Directors Guild of America at the time. And Haskell Wexler, award-winning cinematographer, is shooting it! Just because the ingredients of the cake look great doesn't mean it's going to come out of the oven just right. It's one of those crazy things."
Speaking of crazy, Cascio -- a Schaumburg High School graduate and former Harper College student -- also worked on the horror movie "Child's Play," which was shot in Chicago. It introduced horror fans to Chucky, a deranged killer doll.
"'Child's Play' became a huge hit!" he said. "It looked more comical than scary. That spun off like five sequels. We see things through our own colored lenses, you know? It's like looking at the Mona Lisa with your eyes up against the painting."
People frequently ask Cascio how to break into the movie industry.
"I tell them, 'I don't know. Why don't you do it and tell me?'" he said.
"I can tell you what I did, but that doesn't help anyone else. The path you fall into is very different from the paths of everyone else. It's not like I'm going to go get a law degree, receive a certificate and open an office. That's a franchise.
"In the entertainment industry, it's more about your head, heart and gut than it is about common sense. There's nothing common-sense about our industry. We're like eccentric savants that somehow find our way."
As you might guess, Cascio is something of a philosopher. He found his life's calling in prison -- Alcatraz.
He was 16 and had gone to San Francisco with his parents for spring break. A movie camera crew had set up for a shoot at Alcatraz. The moment that Cascio spotted a Panavision camera, the arc lights went on.
"Something inside me just turned on. It hit me like a bolt of lightning," he said.
"It's like when you see somebody and it's love at first sight. Just like that. I knew in that moment that this was what I was meant to do."
Cascio moved to California to find his dream. But the reality was harsh, for he wound up living out of his car while looking for work. He joked that he lived at "Hotel Honda": only one room, but a great ocean view.
"You live and die by the sword," Cascio told us. "Living in my car was the greatest challenge of my life. But it was the greatest victory of my life."
Cascio has worked on local movies such as "The Untouchables," "Groundhog Day" and "Planes, Trains and Automobiles," plus "Gladiator" and "The Babe." He also did reshoots for the ill-fated "Gigli," and not even his footage could save that movie.
His TV credits include USA's "Necessary Roughness" and "The Vampire Diaries" on The CW.
Cascio now lives in Atlanta where he's been shooting features and other jobs.
"Honest to God, I don't know what I'd be doing if I wasn't doing this every day," he said. "I'm so blessed to be able to do what I love to do for a living. When little kids daydream, adults say, 'Stop that. Stop screwing around.' They get told to stop that, but that's what I get paid to do."
Cascio's parents were different, though.
"My dad always told me to do the things that scare you a little bit," Cascio said. "That's all I know how to do, Dad! It takes your head to make a decision. It takes your guts to follow through."
For the record, Cascio claims he has the greatest parents on the planet, at least on Slingerland Avenue.
"My dad is my best friend. He's my mentor. My coach. I talk to him about stuff all the time. I've got awesome parents. Why would I not want to spend time with them?"
So Cascio comes home when he can.
"When I went to speak at Schaumburg High School last year, it meant more to me than it meant to the kids," he said. "I felt like my life made a difference at that point. I've done a lot of things.
"But when you get a message from someone on Facebook -- someone you don't even know -- and he says, 'I just want to let you know that you made a big difference in my life. I see your posts and I see the things you do. And you inspire me. I'm not living my dream, but I'm watching you living yours.'
"And that kills me."

In short, No. 4 is one big snore.
In the Rambo canon, where does this one fit? The tone is closer to "First Blood" but the body count is more "Rambo III." No matter how one dices and slices this new Rambo, the first one in 20 years, it will likely please fans of the long-in-the-tooth series.
Rambo teaches that fighting sucks, good intentions can be futile, and coalitions of the willing are a charade: A man's got to do what a man's got to do.

Iffy for 15+
Non-stop violence is too overpowering for kids.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that the fourth installment in the Rambo franchise is, like its '80s predecessors, full of blood and violence (rendered even more disturbing by the last two decades' technological advances). The main character is a one-man killing machine; when pushed to defend himself or others, he'll use anything -- from his bare hands to a rock to a weapon -- to destroy his enemies. Despite being 61, Stallone still has a considerable following, although most of his biggest fans are men old enough to be fathers at this point. While younger kids may not be interested, teen boys may well want to see what all the fuss is about this iconic character. In addition to the disturbing amount of violence, there's also a great deal of strong language and an awful scene that's clearly the prelude to a gang rape.
Messages: Christian aid workers show bravery by continuing their mission in the face of danger. Rambo, as always, decides to take matters in his own hands to help the mercenaries assigned to rescue the missionaries. Lots of male bravado, but the woman character does show she's committed to her cause.
Violence: From the opening news reel of atrocities being committed in Burma, the film is -- save for a few early sequences -- nonstop violence. People are shot, burned alive, blown up, stabbed, hacked, hanged, and raped. Women are shown taunted and then about to be raped. Children are killed. Limbs fly around as bombs and land mines are triggered. Heads explode or are decapitated and bodies dismembered. Name a weapon, and it's used -- arrows, knives, handguns, automatic weapons, etc.
Sex: Young women are forced to dance in front of their brutal captors. They're then hit, and their clothes are ripped off (breasts are visible) as they're about to be raped. Sarah touches Rambo's hand and embraces Michael. A boy is shown escorted to the general's quarters, where the general caresses his head and face before shutting the door.
Language: As with most military action flicks, the language is ever-present -- "f--k" is the most uttered word, with "s--t" and "a--hole" close seconds.
Consumerism: Not an issue
Drinking, drugs and smoking: The Burmese soldiers drink heavily during the pre-rape dance scene.

Memorial heroic in NHIAA Div. I basketball semifinal defeatBy JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
March 11. 2014 10:29PM
Great games are usually defined as the ones people remember and talk about years after they're played. Few will argue Monday's Division I boys' basketball semifinal showdown at the University of New Hampshire between Manchester Central and Manchester Memorial was one for the ages.
Memorial, a 12th-seeded team that lost by 40 points to the top-ranked Little Green during the regular season, nearly ruined Central's perfect season with two clutch three-point shots. Kabongo Ngalakulondi's trifecta with three seconds left sent the game into overtime and Nick Philibert, inserted into the game to add more speed for Memorial's pressing unit, canned his 3-pointer with 10 seconds left to force a second extra frame.
Central, down 40-31 at halftime, and trailing by as many as 12 points in the third quarter, eventually won the epic battle, 99-91.
A day after the dust settled, Memorial coach Jack Quirk, who served as an assistant coach under head coach Peter Poirier in 1972 when the Crusaders beat Central 64-58 in double overtime for the Class L title, reflected on Monday's memorable game.
"We had all the intentions of going to that final game Saturday," said Quirk, who said he got only two hours of sleep after the game before going to work Tuesday morning as director of athletics at Memorial. "We laid it all on the line, left nothing on the floor. Right now, we're just feeling the pain."
Quirk said his team never discussed the 40-point blowout loss (83-43) to Central. Never used it to motivate his team.
"I think everyone knew, even Doc (Central coach Dave Wheeler), that we were better than the way we played them in the regular season," said Quirk. "My only concern Monday was how we were going to come out and play. After the first four or five minutes, my concerns completely went away. We were playing at a pace that suited our team. Both teams ran up and down the court taking quick shots and scoring. For a team that prides itself on defense — and I know Central does — I don't even think Doc thought entering that game we'd have 80 points (40 each half) on the board after regulation. The pace, the tempo of the game was definitely to our liking."
Long before Ngalakulondi's and Philibert's clutch tying shots, the game was dictated by other players. Memorial's Trevon Maughn carried the early hot hand, scorching the Durham nets for 30 points on 11-of-17 shooting. He was six of nine from the free throw line and primarily responsible for placing Central in an uncomfortable halftime hole.
But foul trouble plagued Maughn, who had three by halftime and he ended up fouling out with 6:22 to play. Four of his five fouls came on the offensive end. Quirk has his opinions on the offensive calls, but wished not to share them in print. "Let's just say I was surprised Trevon was sitting near me for the last 14 minutes of the game."
The box score and game tape will forever reveal Central's comeback was led by Joey Martin, the game-high scorer with 36 points. He nailed eight 3-point shots, six in the third period to turn a 40-31 deficit into a 60-55 Central lead after three periods.
"He was on fire, no doubt making big shots after big shots, I think at one point four in a row," said Quirk of Martin. "But the one kid least mentioned for Central, the kid I like to say does the so-called dirty work for them, is Tyler Kelley. This kid was six-of-six from the floor and just cleaned the boards. He's not flashy, but he gets the job done. Most people don't know he played for us as a freshman. Last night (Monday), I wish he was also wearing our jersey."
What most people also don't know is how Quirk managed to resurrect a Memorial program that hit rock bottom by mid-February. Discipline problems surfaced and Quirk at times was forced to sit some of his star players. The 40-point blowout loss to Central was followed by a 30-point defeat to Exeter, giving Memorial a 5-8 record at the time.
Like Monday's game, Quirk was dealing with a team that had its own up-and-down swings.
"Towards the end of the season, they started to care," said Quirk. "They started to care about each other, started grasping the concept of putting team first. Believe me, I never sat them down to give them a Knute Rockne speech. The problems we encountered earlier in the year suddenly went away. They started believing in each other and you saw what they did down the stretch."
Memorial entered the tournament 8-10 and knocked off No. 5 Bishop Guertin, No. 4 Londonderry and nearly pulled the upset of now 24-0 Manchester Central. Memorial will be a title contender again next season, losing only one senior (Josh Simpson) who played meaningful minutes. But none of that matters now for Quirk and his Crusaders.
"Maybe in a week or two, we'll be able to think of what we accomplished this season," said Quirk. "None of this has sunk in yet. Like I said, we're still feeling the pain."

IX. Public Health Action Plan
The Public Health Action Plan for Vieques describes specific actions that have been taken, are scheduled to take place, or should be taken by numerous parties, including ATSDR, EPA, PREQB, PRDOH, and the Navy. The purpose of this Public Health Action Plan is to ensure that this PHA not only identifies potential public health hazards, but also produces a plan of action to mitigate and prevent harmful human health effects that may be resulting from exposure to hazardous substances in the environment. The following list identifies the public health actions that have been completed, that are ongoing, and that ATSDR recommends take place:
Actions Completed:
- Ambient air sampling has been conducted by various parties, including ATSDR, PREQB, and the Navy.
- In August 1999, ATSDR conducted its initial site visit to Vieques to meet with the petitioner, to tour the island and the bombing range, and to gather available environmental data. ATSDR accepted the resident's petition and initiated the PHA process.
- In September 2000, ATSDR met with various agencies, including PRDOH, PREQB, EPA, and the Navy to gather data and to discuss the scope and nature of ATSDR's health assessment activities. ATSDR also toured various sites on Vieques with the petitioner.
- In June and October 2000, ATSDR discussed public health concerns with local health care providers and provided training about how to medically assess environmental exposures. During these visits, ATSDR also met with numerous residents to discuss health concerns.
- In February 2001, ATSDR released the public comment version of the Public Health Assessment for the Drinking Water Supplies and Groundwater Pathway Evaluation. In March 2001, ATSDR held a public availability session to meet individually with community members to discuss the findings of this document. In October 2001, ATSDR released the final version of this PHA.
- In July 2001, ATSDR, the Ponce School of Medicine, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention sponsored an expert review panel to address whether an association existed between place of residence (Vieques or Ponce Playa) and morphological cardiovascular changes among fishermen. In October 2001, ATSDR released a report summarizing this expert panel review.
- In September 2001, ATSDR conducted additional community involvement activities to inform participants of the scope of ATSDR investigations and to seek additional community input. Continuing education on public health training was offered to nurses on Vieques and environmental health instruction was provided to parents and high school students.
- In February 2003, ATSDR released its final version of the Public Health Assessment for the Soil Pathway Evaluation.
- In June 2003, ATSDR released its final version of the Public Health Assessment for the Fish and Shellfish Evaluation.
Actions Ongoing:
- ATSDR is continuing to meet with various community members and organizations to receive concerns and exchange information. This effort will continue throughout the public health assessment process.
- ATSDR is continuing to meet with local health care providers to discuss health concerns for the community and to provide educational materials for addressing the community's health needs.
- PRDOH is updating its cancer registries for all of Puerto Rico, and specifically for Vieques, by gathering and documenting information on the incidence of cancer. ATSDR does not know when these updates will be completed.
Recommendations for Further Action:
Note: ATSDR's public comment release PHA included several recommendations for further air sampling at Vieques. Since the Navy officially ceased its training exercises on May 1, 2003, ATSDR believes these sampling studies are no longer necessary. The following items list the remaining recommendations that ATSDR believes should be fulfilled.
- ATSDR recommends that any residents using rainfall collection systems for a drinking water supply read the documents that ATSDR has placed in the records repositories regarding good sanitation practices for harvesting rain water. These good sanitation practices will help ensure that water obtained from these systems is safe to drink and relatively free of contamination from all local sources.
- ATSDR plans to review cancer registry information and data gathered by PRDOH. This review will consider the data documented in ATSDR's PHAs and will evaluate the general health status of the communities on Vieques. ATSDR's review will follow the official release of PRDOH's review of the cancer registries, but it is not known when this will occur.
- If future data are collected that suggest that a modification of ATSDR's public health evaluations, and if requested, ATSDR will periodically review air sampling data that PREQB and other parties collect at Vieques, as these data become available.
- After completing the pathway-specific PHAs, ATSDR will prepare a brief summary of environmental health issues for Vieques.

District 205 School Board considers referendum question
By Chris Fox
The Elmhurst Community Unit School District 205 Board held a special meeting on Aug. 8 at the District 205 Center, 162 S. York St. All seven board members attended the meeting, which did not include any votes.
Near the end of the meeting, board members agreed to discuss the possibility of placing a referendum question on the ballot for this year's Nov. 6 election. That discussion and a decision will take place at this week's regular meeting on Aug. 14. If the board wants to put a referendum question on the ballot in the November 2018 election, it would have to write the specific ballot question and adopt a resolution no later than Aug. 20. The Aug. 14 meeting is the board's last scheduled meeting before that deadline.
According to the agenda for the Aug. 14 meeting, the board will consider placing the following referendum question onto the ballot for this November's election:
"Shall the Board of Education of Elmhurst Community Unit School District Number 205, DuPage and Cook Counties, Illinois, build and equip two school buildings to replace the Field and Lincoln Elementary School Buildings; build and equip additions to and alter, repair and equip existing buildings, including but not limited to improving security, providing STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) facilities, improving energy-efficiency and technology infrastructure and adding classrooms for full-day kindergarten; improve sites; acquire, improve and equip a building for educational purposes and acquire the site thereof and issue bonds of said School District to the amount of $168,500,000 for the purpose of paying the costs thereof?"
The board has spent about three years discussing and considering its proposed master facility plan. The most expensive option in the pro-posed plan would cost about $168.5million, and would include complete replacements of Lincoln Elementary School and Field Elementary School. A voter-approved referendum would be required to allow the district to borrow the money to pay for any of its proposed renovation options. According to information provided by the district, the $168.5 million option would have an additional tax impact of about $150 on the owner of a home valued at $500,000. The district would reportedly pay back the borrowed money over a period of 25 years.
The district's consultants have advised the board to propose a referendum question during a high-turnout election. The election in the spring of 2019 is not expected to produce a high turnout. If the board, there-fore, decides not to place a question on the ballot this November, it would likely wait until at least the election in the spring of 2020, or the fall of 2020, to propose a referendum. ...

State Rep. donates kidney to her ex-husband. Deb Conroy says gift was as much for her children as for him.
By Dee Longfellow
For The Elmhurst Independent
"When it's the father of your children, it's about family. It's always about family."
Those were the words of State Representative Deb Conroy sharing the news that she had donated a kidney to her former husband Tim.
"More than anything, it was a gift for my boys," she said, speaking of her four sons, Sean, 32, Ryan, 28, Brendan, 23 and Will, 21.
Tim Conroy had developed hypertension from a case of untreated strep throat he had as a child. Because of the hypertension, Tim ended up having a stroke when he was just 29 years old. At that time, doctors and hospital officials said he would need to be placed on a list for a kidney transplant, but warned him that it could take as long as five to ten years for one to be available.
As many people know, people die every day, waiting for a kidney that never arrives.
Tim had his ups and down, but eventually became very sick and had to be on dialysis.
The ideal donor… herself!
"I went through the testing and found out I was a match," she said. "It turns out two of my boys are as well."
Conroy explained in an exclusive interview with the Independent what made her "an ideal donor."
"I learned that, at my age I was the ideal donor," she said. "At our age, [that is as an adult], hypertension has already started to reveal itself and I don't have it so that made me a good match."
Was it unusual for a husband and wife to be a match?
"Not necessarily," she said. "Well, I don't know exactly how it works, but it has to do with things like blood type and I am pretty 'common' when it comes to those kinds of things. I think it's more difficult with rare blood types and so forth."
She said it was good that two of the boys were also a match, in case something crops up later in Tim's life, if the kidney should fail or something.
Because Tim contracted the problem due to untreated strep throat, it was not a biological or inherent issue that the children will have to worry about.
"As an adult, the doctors considered me safe to be a donor in that I do not have any kind of hypertension or other issues that might compromise my own kidneys," she said. "My sons don't have to worry about inheriting a problem, so eventually when they become full adults – assuming they are healthy – they could likely donate a kidney to Tim if something should go wrong with the transplant down the road. They just need to keep an eye on their own health because should one of them grow up to develop hypertension himself, he wouldn't be able to donate a kidney. Still, it's not like the boys are predisposed to kidney disease or anything like that."
The agony of waiting… and waiting…
Even though Deb was a match for Tim, there were still setbacks in getting the transplant scheduled and completed.
"The first surgery date was supposed to be two years ago," she said. "We were all set to go, we went in for our pre-surgical appointments. That's when they discovered Tim had developed 'hairy cell leukemia.'"
Yes, you read that right -- "hairy-cell leukemia."
It's very rare, according to Conroy.
"There are only 1500 cases in the entire country every year. The disease is treatable not curable. They use a drug that puts you into remission, if all goes well. We went through Rush [St. Luke's Hospital] and I was really impressed with them."
Once Tim developed the cancer, he was taken off the transplant list, but once it was under control, his oncologist went to the transplant team and petitioned to get him back on the list.
"In total, four surgery dates had to be cancelled," Conroy said. "The boys really took that hard. Just when you think everything is going to be all right, then there's yet another hold-up.
"The process is a lot like grieving and everyone grieves in their own way. My boys got through it pretty well. Each one coped in his own way. They supported each other."
Finally the date of June 20, 2018, came along and the surgery was able to be performed.
"The surgery is actually harder on the donor than the recipient," Conroy explained. "It takes two small holes and a small incision to get my kidney out. But on him, they don't take anything out. They actually attach the new kidney in the front."
Gratefully, the kidney began working immediately.
"The doctors were stunned, the kidney starting working right away," she said. "The first thing they check is how much urine it's able to produce and it was already making twice the amount required or expected right after receiving the transplant."
A bright future for Tim Conroy…
She said Tim is in better shape than ever, now that he has the new kidney.
"He no longer has high blood pressure, in fact, all the things he dealt with before are gone now," she said. "All he does now is, he goes in one day a week for blood work and they monitor the meds he is on to make sure it's working for him."
A person only needs one kidney to live so it is possible to be a donor and still have good quality of life. Conroy said there have been great strides in liver transplants in the recent past.
"They can now take a portion of the liver and implant it and it regenerates itself," she said. "It will grow inside the recipient and also regenerate itself inside the donor."
It is the enzymes in your kidneys that affect blood pressure and that is what caused Tim's stroke at the age of 29, Conroy said. He remained on medication for years to keep him from further damage.
Her sons breathe a long sigh of relief…
"The kids have been holding their breath for about three years, and now are beginning to exhale slowly," she said. "It's inspiring to see them. Right now, they feel like they've won the lottery.
"You don't really know how much relief it is when you've waited so long for everything to be okay and keep getting setbacks, and then finally everything IS okay. It's a huge relief."
How is she getting along now?
"It was amazing, I was up on my feet the same day [as the surgery], went home from the hospital the day after the surgery and two weeks later, I was at a White Sox game with my mother," she said. "My mother is a little Irish lady who doesn't drink but she had two shots of Bailey's that day and she was having a great time!"
Ask what surprised her about the procedure, Conroy said she found it easier than she expected.
"I couldn't believe I was feeling as good as I was," she said. "I was up and walking around the same day and left the hospital the following day.
"Sure I get worn out and get tired, but there's a lift, an energy you get from knowing this sick person that you helped is now very likely going to live a long, full life."
As far as Tim is concerned, needless to say his quality of life has greatly improved. His illness required to him to retire early – at age 55 – but as a union laborer, he had a sound benefits package and pension for retirement
"Now that he's healthy and retired, he can pursue all the things he's ever wanted to," Deb said. "And I'm happy for him for that as well."
It is no surprise that Conroy recently backed legislation that would allow 16- and 17-year-olds to donate organs.
"So many people are waiting," she said. "Hundreds of people die every year. Being a live donor means you save a life and it's not really even that taxing physically.
"But I feel like I actually saved five lives – my husband and my four sons." ... See MoreSee Less

Elmhurst Lacrosse 10U boys team wins IBLA title
Squad defeats strong Fox Valley program in final
By Mike Miazga
The Elmhurst Lacrosse 10U Titans team recently capped off its season in style.
Elmhurst won the Illinois Boys Lacrosse Association championship (statewide playoffs) with three victories over Tinley Park, Lake Zurich and Fox Valley.
Elmhurst, whose team is comprised of fourth-grade players, kicked things off in the playoffs with a 5-4 win against the Tinley Park Bull-dogs and then defeated Lake Zurich Blue 6-3 before downing Fox Valley No. 3 by a 6-4 count to win the IBLA championship in Glen Ellyn.
Team players include Jack Paschen, George Redfearn, Hunter Hanselman, Socrates Kapotas, Josh Venzor, Shane Trainer, Dean Kemph, Jack Lotito, AJ Olson, Mickey Schermer, Charlie Malcolm, Kade Imburgia, Trevor Rice, Jackson Nesheim, Simon Kodosky and Drew Pettorelli.
"Some of the guys on our team had zero experience coming into the season and some had a season or two," noted Elmhurst coach Jason Nesheim. "We had kind of an up-and-down season, but we evolved at the end, were highly competitive and looked great."
Nesheim noted the team lost to Fox Valley earlier in a May tournament final. "They were one of our biggest competitors," he said. "We ended up finishing second to them in May and then were able to turn the tables on them. We knew what each other's strengths and weaknesses were going into the game. Both teams were very familiar with each other. We flipped the game on them and moved the ball around the perimeter and waited for a scoring opportunity and capitalized. It was pretty impressive to see. Fox Valley typically has strong teams. For us, it's one team with no cuts. What our guys did is highly impressive. We went in there and competed with them and won against a highly functional lacrosse program."
Nesheim said team chemistry was at the top of the list of positives for his group. "The best thing they did was come together as a team," he said. "They moved the ball around."
And Elmhurst wasn't too shabby on defense either, Nesheim explained. "Our defense played outstanding," he said. "Our goalie was on point completely. And then our attack capped it. We moved the ball around straight up the field. It was flawless. What won us the game is us moving the ball around so quickly."
Elmhurst played eight league games, the May tournament and then the playoffs.
"It was great to see our team that is a mix of entry-level kids and kids with some experience come in and win games and win a tournament and do well," said Nesheim. "To do this well at such a young age group says a lot. Our goal is get kids into the sport and eventually funnel them to the high school. Seeing young kids win championships tells you there is good talent coming up the pipeline. We're very proud of this group." ... See MoreSee Less

ROME — Christopher T. Knight didn't display many of the skills that a person might learn in a wilderness survival course.
He didn't hunt, fish or forage for food outdoors, instead stealing food and other supplies from camps around North Pond.
He never started a fire because he was afraid the smoke would be seen or smelled.
Even so, Knight created a well-organized campsite, concealed his movements, and stayed warm, hydrated and even clean while apparently living alone in the central Maine woods for 27 years.
Retired Maine Warden Service Lt. Pat Dorian of Sidney said it's one of the most amazing survival stories he's ever heard.
Dorian, who was the service's statewide search-and-rescue coordinator for more than a decade, said one of the most important factors for people who his team found alive was that they didn't panic.
In Knight's case, it was a conscious decision to leave society behind for the woods.
"He had a very well-thought-out plan, how to survive in extreme conditions, and I think it's extraordinary," Dorian said.
Although he didn't use fires, Knight probably stayed warm in part from the propane he used for cooking, and from multiple sleeping bags in the winter. His bed was raised off the ground.
"A lot of the good-quality sleeping bags, you put one on top of the other, it's not an issue staying warm," Dorian said. "And when you live in that environment day in and day out, your body will acclimate more to being in the cold."
Dorian said Knight's case reminds him of a man who periodically went into the woods and chained himself to a tree for several days at a time, including once in late December. The man was acclimated to those conditions, Dorian said.
He said he would expect that Knight had a body of moving water near his campsite, and he could have collected snow or boiled water to make it safe for drinking.

BOSTON (AP) — Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, struggling to keep his emotions in check, told well-wishers gathered at historic Faneuil Hall on Thursday that he won't seek re-election to an unprecedented sixth term after nearly two decades in office.
"I am here with the people I love, to tell the city I love, that I will leave the job that I love," Menino said, with his wife Angela and family by his side. "I can run, I can win and I can lead, but not in the neighborhoods all the time as I like."
Menino, who used a cane to walk to the podium, has had persistent health problems including a six-week hospital stay last year to treat a respiratory infection and a compression fracture in his spine. Menino also was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
But the city's longest serving mayor told the crowd that he is on the mend. Still, he said, it's not enough to maintain the pace that has become his trademark.
"I'm back to a mayor's schedule, but not a Menino schedule," he said. "Spending so much time in the neighborhoods gives me energy.... It may not be the only way to lead Boston, but it's the only way for me."
Menino spoke for about 12 minutes and received a three-minute standing ovation.
During his comments, Menino alluded to a poll that once indicated that more than half of the city's residents had said they'd personally met him.
He also acknowledged that his decision not to run again is expected to trigger a political stampede.
"I have no plans to pick the person to fill this seat," he said. "I just ask that you choose someone who loves this city as much as I do."
President Barack Obama praised Menino.
"Boston is the vibrant, welcoming, and world-class city it is today because of Tom Menino," Obama said in a statement. "For more than two decades, Mayor Menino has served the city and every one of its residents with extraordinary leadership, vision, and compassion."
Democratic U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who won a critical endorsement from Menino in last year's U.S. Senate race called him "the best mayor in America" and "the best friend to the neighborhoods and people of Boston."
Although Menino wasn't always the smoothest of political figures, he earned a reputation as one of the hardest working, from filling potholes to shaping the city's skyline.
A recent Boston Globe poll showed the 70-year-old Menino was viewed favorably by a wide margin of city residents, although less than half said they wanted him to run again. Most political watchers assumed Menino could have cruised to another victory.
Menino said he's not done yet.
"I have nine months left. Just think what I can do in nine months," he said. "We can have some real fun."
Menino's long stewardship of the city came a critical moment in Boston's history when traditional urban ethnic enclaves began to give way to waves of new immigrants and younger professionals.
He worked to make Boston more fun and livable. Despite its famously narrow, twisting streets, Menino ushered in a bicycle-sharing program and named a "bicycle czar" to negotiate conflicts between bicyclists and Boston drivers.
He also struggled to try to improve the Boston school system and wasn't shy about wearing his sympathies on his sleeve.
Last year Menino, a strong gay rights supporter, vowed to block Chick-fil-A from opening a restaurant in the city after the company's president spoke out publicly against gay marriage.
Lawrence DiCara, a former city councilor, said Menino's success stemmed from his attention to detail and — unlike many of his predecessors — his lack of interest in higher office.
"He kept his eye on the ball," DiCara said. "He was not interested in running for governor. He was not interested in running for Congress. He had one thing he wanted to do and that was being mayor of Boston."
Menino was the city's first Italian-American mayor, breaking a nearly century-long domination of city politics by Irish-Americans that began with John "Honey Fitz" Fitzgerald, the grandfather of President John F. Kennedy and Sens. Robert and Edward Kennedy, and included the legendary James Michael Curley.
Menino grew up in Hyde Park, far from the city's traditional political power bases.
"He grew up an Italian kid in an Irish city and he grew up in a neighborhood that no one came from," said DiCara.
Menino's departure will create only the second open mayoral election in the last half century and the first since 1983, when Kevin White chose not to seek re-election.
Boston City Councilor John Connolly had already indicated his intention to run. Other potential candidates include state Rep. Martin Walsh, city councilors Tito Jackson and Rob Consalvo, state Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz, and Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley.
Menino became acting mayor when his predecessor, Raymond Flynn, left office in 1993 after being named ambassador to the Vatican. Menino, then president of the City Council, was automatically elevated to the mayor's job.
The circumstances prompted some critics to label him the "accidental mayor." But he was elected mayor in his own right in November 1993 and won re-election by wide margins in 1997, 2001, 2005 and 2009.
James Brett, a former state lawmaker who was the Menino's first mayoral opponent in 1993, said he immediately recognized Menino's tenacity as a campaigner.
"Anyone who would underestimate him would be foolish to say the least," said Brett, who now runs the business-backed New England Council. "He was grounded and focused as a candidate."
Peter Meade, director of the Boston Redevelopment Authority, said Menino had an "unbelievable" work ethic, often making two or three more stops around the city after most of his staff had gone home.
While a demanding boss, Meade said Menino "never asked anyone to do anything he wasn't willing or anxious to do himself."
Menino earned the nickname "Urban Mechanic" by focusing on the nuts and bolts of city management — fixing potholes, cleaning streets, and even discouraging the practice of saving a shoveled-out parking space by putting folding chairs or trash cans along the curb.
More recently, Menino became a prominent voice for stricter gun control measures, joining New York Mayor and Boston-area native Michael Bloomberg as co-chairs of Mayors Against Illegal Guns.
"He will be remembered as one of the most influential and important mayors in Boston's long history, and — it is my fervent hope — someone who began to turn the tide against the scourge of gun violence in this country," Bloomberg said in a statement.
Menino also built an impressive political machine that handily defeated challengers and propelled allies into office.
Despite his political savvy, Menino was also known for his sometimes tortured phrases and malapropisms, which earned him the nickname "Mumbles" from detractors but endeared him even more to the populace.
He once confused former New England Patriots placekicker and Super Bowl hero Adam Vinatieri with former Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek and referred to Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo as "Hondo," which was the nickname of former Celtics great John Havlicek.

CHICAGO (AP) - Gov. Pat Quinn is at the church of one of Chicago's most prominent pastors to talk about combatting street violence.
The governor was invited to speak at Greater St. John Bible Church, led by the Rev. Ira Acree.
The Chicago Democrat told The Associated Press Sunday that public officials need to address the problem.
His speech comes as Chicago has seen a spike in murders - but also after he delivered a state budget that includes more money for public safety but big cuts for education.
Quinn's address also comes as Republicans and fellow Democrats have talked of challenging him in 2014.
The stop wasn't on the governor's public schedule. He says Acree is a friend and he'd promised to come for a while; this was his first chance.

Like most of you, I've always wanted want to code and compile 68k Mac OS applications in OS X that work on System 1.1. This question kept me up night after night, but thanks to Steven Troughton-Smith, we now know that it is, indeed, possible. It started with a 68k application on System 6. Not long after, he managed to compile a simple application that worked on System 1.1. This test application's code is available on github.
This is possible using ksherlock's MPW Emulator, which, as the name implies, is an emulator that allows you to run the Macintosh Programmer's Workshop on any OS X 10.9 system (a case-insensitive HFS+ volume is required).
I'm glad this matter has been settled. In all seriousness, while the number of useful applications for this is probably limited, it's still very cool.

By Crispian Balmer and Matt Spetalnick
JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel paid homage to former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon at the first of two funeral services being held on Monday for a man celebrated as a war hero at home but seen by many in the Arab world as a war criminal.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair joined the somber ceremony in front of the Israeli parliament, Sharon's coffin draped in Israel's blue and white flag, bathed in winter sunshine.
"We are accompanying to his final resting place today, a soldier, an exceptional soldier, a commander who knew how to win," said Israeli President Shimon Peres.
Sharon, 85, died on Saturday after spending the last eight years of his life motionless in a hospital bed, pitched into a coma by a stroke and far from the public gaze.
His death has reopened debate into his legacy, with foes denouncing his ruthless conduct in military operations while friends praised him as a strategic genius who had stunned the world in 2005 by pulling Israeli troops and settlers out of the Gaza Strip - a Palestinian territory in the south.
"The security of his people was always Arik's unwavering mission - a non-breakable commitment to the future of Jews, whether 30 years or 300 years from now," Biden said, using Sharon's nickname.
There was no direct mention of some of the controversies that have clung to Sharon's name through the years, although in his eulogy, Blair said a man widely known at home as "the bulldozer" had left "considerable debris in his wake".
Biden referred simply to his "mistakes", saying: "History will judge that he also lived in complex times, in a very complex neighborhood."
The Israeli foreign ministry said dignitaries had come from 21 countries, mainly in Europe, but did not list any delegations from the Middle East, Africa or Latin America.
After the memorial service at parliament, Sharon's body was loaded into a military van for the drive to the family's farm in southern Israel, some 10 km (6 miles) from Gaza, for burial.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, noting he had not always seen eye-to-eye with Sharon on policy matters, hailed the former leader's commitment to Israel's security.
"Arik understood that in matters of our existence and security, we must stand firm," Netanyahu said.
"Israel will continue to fight terror. Israel will continue to strive for peace, while protecting our security. Israel will act in every way to deny Iran the capability of arming itself with nuclear weapons."
Famously beefy and brusque, Sharon was widely hated by Arabs, particularly for Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon, when hundreds of Palestinian civilians in the refugee camps of Sabra and Shatila were killed by Israeli-allied Christian militiamen.
Sharon was forced to stand down as defense minister in 1983 after an Israeli investigation said he bore "personal responsibility" for not preventing the massacre.
Written off at the time, he soon bounced back and served as prime minister from 2001 until he was felled by a stroke.
Neither Netanyahu nor Peres mentioned the Lebanon war or disengagement from Gaza, which showed that Israel could roll back its occupation of the Palestinian territories given determined leadership. Both Biden and Blair hailed the pullout.
However, one of Sharon's friends, settler leader Zeev Hever, made clear the sense of hurt felt by some Israelis.
"Your disengagement in the final two years of your term from the path we had walked together was particularly difficult and painful," he told mourners.
Two years after Israel quit Gaza, the Islamist group Hamas seized control, calling for the destruction of the Jewish state. Israel has beefed up security for Sharon's burial and warned Hamas not to allow rocket fire during the ceremony.
"It was made clear to them that ... it would be a very bad day for anyone there to test Israel's patience," said an Israeli security source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
A Reuters correspondent heard two explosions in northern Gaza on Monday morning which sounded like rocket impacts. An Israeli military spokeswoman said there had been no launches across the border. Israeli media said the blasts appeared to have resulted from Palestinian militants testing their weapons.
How to handle Gaza is among the sticking points in Israel's U.S.-sponsored peace negotiations with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, Hamas's rival based in the occupied West Bank.
During his brief visit to Israel, Biden will discuss the so far fruitless diplomatic efforts with Netanyahu and Peres, U.S. officials said.
The vice president will also seek to ease Netanyahu's concerns about world powers' interim nuclear deal with Israel's arch-foe Iran, which takes effect on January 20.
Sharon and Peres are the last of the so-called 1948-generation of leaders who played a prominent role in Israeli public life right from the foundation of the nation. ID:nL6N0KC0YR]
"He left us too soon. But the work of trying to reach peace continues," said Biden, hinting that had Sharon stayed healthy, he might have ended the decades-old Middle East conflict.

University of Pennsylvania historian Stephanie McCurry offers a new interpretation of the Confederacy that contends the South sowed the seeds of its demise in creating a regime that excluded white women and slaves, which together comprised a majority of the population.
Confederate Reckoning was a finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize for History. McCurry's talk is the keynote address for the Richard D. McKinzie Research Symposium.

Report: Cost To Raise Today's Child Tops $245,000
WASHINGTON (AP) - A federal report finds that an American child born last year will cost a middle-income family an average of more than $245,000 until he or she becomes an adult.
The Agriculture Department's report found that families in the urban Northeast tend to pay more on average than the rest of the nation. The costs of food, housing, childcare and education have risen 1.8 percent since 2012.
The USDA's report was first issued in 1960, when a middle-income family spent about $25,230 per child. That's about $198,000 in 2013 dollars.
Housing expenses made up 30 percent of the cost, followed by childcare, education and food. The report didn't factor in expenses after a child turned 18, such as college tuition.

Stockton, CA
Robert Frank Ghilotti
April 17, 1927 - February 27, 2013
Robert passed away peacefully at home on the morning of February 27th. Born and raised in Stockton
he was the only child of Frank and Mary Ghilotti.
Robert graduated high school early to enlist in the US Navy where he proudly served
his country. Shortly after his return from the Navy he met Ruth, the love of his life. Ruth made it to
Heaven 4 years before him and
although he loved his family
deeply, was ready to be reunited with his bride of 57 years.
In 1952 he joined the Stockton Fire Department. Over the years he was nicknamed "S.O.B.", which we all lovingly knew stood for Sweet Ole' Bobby. He loved to say, "oh well my job is no big deal - I just fight fires and save lives". He retired 31 years later from "4's" as a Captain. Rumor has is that the "Ghilotti ladder drill" lives on today.
Until their deaths, Bob & Ruth lived in the same house they
purchased in 1955. He was respected and "slightly" feared by the youths of the neighborhood. Strangely enough, after the
passing of his wife, those same youths were the ones who made those little "out of the way drive bys" just to make sure he was OK. Wonderful neighbors were such a huge part of his life.
Waterskiing with his family and friends was a summer event
starting with a 25HP outboard growing to a 454 Sanger V-Drive. He loved to take his children and grandchildren out on the boat and would spend hours pulling them skiing or just driving in circles to make waves. He was a fanatic about the cleanliness of his cars and boats until Sam the family dog came along who sat in the front seat of the boat with saliva flowing in the wind - but that was OK.
In addition to his 3 children, Frank (Lisa) Ghilotti, DDS, Annette (Ken) Fisher, Jeannine (Budd) Pruden, his 7 grandchildren, Alyssa (Joe) Petrino, Alana Ghilotti, Amy
Santos, Lisa (Jesus) Castellanos, Steven Santos, Richard (Katie) Pruden, Alexis Pruden, Robert leaves behind his Aunt Tina Celli (don't tell but she is 101), 4 great grandchildren, and numerous
nieces and nephews.
The family wants to thank Hospice of San Joaquin for their support. Without them and his granddaughter Alexis (RN in training) keeping him at home would not have been possible.
Family and friends are invited to attend a Funeral Mass on Sat. March 9th at 11:00 am at St.
Bernadette's Catholic Church, 2544 Plymouth Rd in Stockton.

Unfortunately, due to a variety of scheduling conflicts, we have decided to cancel our Spring Record Fair. First we tried to move it around to accommodate the New Haven Record Riot and then Easter got in our way. Between Wesleyan's spring break and end of year academic schedule and other record fair happenings in the state, we finally decided that it is in our best interest to cancel our spring event and focus on planning for next year.
Sorry to those of you who were on board to be vendors and the rest of you who were looking forward to picking up some sweet vinyl.

Jonathan Haswell aged 44 of Birtley, Gateshead was caught red-handed after he sent graphic messages and pictures of his private parts to school girl. he believed was aged just 15.
He had been talking online to a girl he believed was just aged 15. What he did not know was that he'd actually been talking to and arranged to meet Dark Justice.
When Haswell arrived he was actually meeting Dark Justice a pro-active two-man organisation set up to prevent men looking for sex with underage girls.
Haswell had told the school girl that they would watch pornographic videos together and then copy what was happening on the screen.
He then went on to ask the school girl who had never had a boyfriend for some pictures of her in her underwear.
Haswell then arranged to meet what he believed was a school girl in Newcastle City Centre bringing with him a pornographic movie.
When he attended Newcastle Crown Court he pleaded guilty to attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity.
He was sentenced to two years imprisonment, suspended for two years, with sex offenders registration for ten years.
He was also ordered to abide by a sexual harm prevention order for life.

Dark Justice condemn actions of group who travelled 200 miles to Newcastle
North East Child protection group Dark Justice have today condemned the actions a Peadophile group that traveled to Newcastle.
We have chosen not to name them to avoid bringing the group extra attention and facebook followers.
What we can tell you is that the group travelled over 200 miles to conduct a facebook live stream however things took a turn for the worst when the group began living streaming the home and face of a completely innocent woman.
The group then turned the camera onto the male suspect who was claimed to be the suspected online child groomer, They asked his age and he repiled "16".
They live streamed a teenager who is in his last year of school and put his face all over facebook for the world to see.
Dark Justice confirmed "The "suspect" still attends school, Now if the group had done any research at all they would have known this information."
They went on to add if the teenage boy sent "indecent images there is 2 charges the Hunter's can be locked up on now making and distribution of indecent images of a child."
Dark Justice are strongly and firmly against the naming and shaming of a person before they have been through the system and warned of the danagers of Live Streaming.
Calum from Dark Justice told Police Hour "Live streaming needs to stop it does not raise awareness on any level higher than a blurred image, all it does is cause innocent families to become targets and could potentially send warnings to other paedophiles who could be friends with the suspect(s) been caught!"
Calum further warned "The government and the police are looking for any reason to shut us all down better a person is caught than none caught at all"
The teenage boy who was featured in the live video faced no criminal action or arrest by officers attending having broken no laws.
Who are Dark Justice?
Dark Justice is an online group that are often compared to as vigilantes who pose as underage children to trap paedophiles.
They are far from the image of vigilantes within the way they operate, They are very professional and passionate about putting child sex offenders behind bars. They operate in a completely different way to other Paedophile hunters online. Dark Justice is arguably an asset to British policing.
The people they catch aren't even on the Police radar, No intelligence exists about them and often it is the first offence that person has ever been charged with.
Dark Justice is often mentioned in Locker rooms across UK Police Stations as the officers on the ground do have an admiration for the work they are doing.
Although they mainly operate within the Northumbria, Cleveland and Durham Police areas they are not afraid to investigate Paedophiles further afield.
Detectives within CID rooms welcome them because the ethical techniques Dark Justice use are able to be admitted into court as evidence.
They don't comprise any legal proceeding they are involved with and never name anyone involved in investigations until they have been charged.
Dark Justice is basically handing over the perfect investigation to detectives gift wrapped or in policing terms a boxed off job. That requires little further work and investigation.
They operate without the limitations of red tape that officers have to stay within and have the ability to save detectives thousands of pounds in costs to carry out detailed forensic examinations of devices. They are basically caught red handed
They are basically caught red handed and interviewed on camera the moment they are meet and admit their crimes on film. Something that would be unlawful for a police officer todo.
Meeting Dark Justice
Having recently Dark Justice and spending time getting to know how they work, Police Hour discovered their passion for keeping child sex offenders off the streets. Unlike others, they aren't all about the fame. Dark Justice simply noticed that the police were being cut back and didn't have the funding to tackle online grooming within the North East.
Dark Justice is actually a self-funded project to catch child sex offenders with a lot of the money to fund their work coming out of their own pockets. The truth is they are just two ground gerodie lads looking to take offenders off the streets.
They spoke very passionately about their objections to cuts to policing and that is where we believe that Dark Justice offers a lot more to policing than meets the eye.
Although Dark Justice does not currently work directly with police forces and we are sure that seniors officers will instantly disagree with us on ethical terms and instantly shut down the idea.
But we believe that Police Forces across the UK should embrace and work closely with the likes of Dark Justice. Simply because of the lawful way in which they operate.
We pay drugs dealers for information
Many forces pay drug dealers and convicted criminals for information, We are talking about school children being raped and sexually assaulted after being groomed on services such as Whats App and Facebook.
We believe forces should reach out to Dark Justice in the same way and consider ways of working with groups such as Dark Justice. We know their work has already resulted in 63 arrests with 29 of those convicted and the remaining currently on police bail.
15 of those 29 so far convicted were handed custodial sentences due to the hard work and efforts of Dark Justice.
But what about the strains of evidence that aren't strong enough but simply added to the bigger picture that would build on police intelligence.
This would enable forces to greatly gather further and better intelligence on child sex offenders without all the red tape.
The police have a lot to learn from the modern day tactics being used by Dark Justice that would greatly enrich the investigations of online child sex offenders.
Hindering investigations.
You are going to get your old school and detectives who say leave police work to the police. I'm sure Dark Justice have faced this a number of times when old school bobbies but the truth is the police Don't have the time, resources or the money to intercept child sex offenders before an offence happens.
Within our field, we have certainly heard these negative comments surrounding Dark Justice However they are very professional within the way they operate. They do not use entrapment and online sex offenders always engage within a conversation with them first.
Dark Justice uses intervention to prevent offences from happening. It is a reality that the police are powerless to prevent child sex offenders from grooming children online before an offence happens.

Dad meet 14-year-old girl for sex months after the death of his child
A father who had a breakdown after the death of his child was caught by so-called 'paedophile hunters' after trying to arrange to meet a girl for sex.
Ross Wilcox, 30, sent messages to an online account he believed belonged to a 14-year-old schoolgirl called Sarah and, after discussing sex, arranged a meeting.
But he had in fact been communicating with the group Dark Justice, whose members confronted him when he arrived at Newcastle's St James Metro station for the rendezvous.
Wilcox, of Cramlington, Northumberland, has now admitted attempting to incite a child to engage in sexual activity and was handed a suspended sentence.
His sentencing comes the day after a senior policeman admitted UK police forces may have to begin working with groups like Dark Justice, who have not been deterred by previous warnings not to get involved.
Prosecutor Neil Pallister told Newcastle Crown Court Wilcox had sent a message to the fake profile and the conversation quickly moved on to private, graphic, WhatsApp messages, despite him being told Sarah was just 14.
He later discussed if she wanted to 'try sex' and, within four days of getting in contact, arranged a meeting, the prosecutor said.
The court heard Wilcox, who had learning difficulties, was sectioned under the mental health act last August while grieving the death of his child.
Andrew Walker, defending, said an ensuing investigation and post-mortem revealed the child had died due to an infection.
Mr Walker said the tragedy had a 'devastating' effect on the family and Wilcox's grief had an impact on his mental health.
Mr Walker added: 'The reality is, for this defendant, despite this offence, he has never laid hands on a child inappropriately in his life.'
The judge, Recorder Simon Kealey sentenced Wilcox to 20 weeks imprisonment, suspended for 18 months, with rehabilitation requirements, sexual harm prevention order and sex offender registration.
The judge told him: 'The fact you have been sectioned under the mental health act as a result of dealing with the death of a family member and the fact that when you were educated you were challenged with special educational needs are not just points of personal mitigation which are powerful in themselves but they are potentially causative features why you behaved as you did over those few days, out of character.'
The UK's lead police officer on child protection has said forces will 'potentially' have to look at working with so-called paedophile hunters.
Chief Constable Simon Bailey, the national lead for child protection at the National Police Chiefs' Council, spoke after figures obtained by the BBC show an increase in the number of cases where evidence gathered by paedophile hunters is being used.
He said: 'I'm not going to condone these groups and I would encourage them all to stop, but I recognise that I am not winning that conversation.
'I think (working with vigilantes) is something we're going to have to potentially have to look at, yes, but it comes with some real complexity.'

Term used in countries with below freezing temperatures in a reaction to Apple's stupid Pressure Sensitive Resistive touchscreens that don't allow the use of gloved hands. Rather than take your gloves off, people with more pointed noses use the aforementioned body part to do basic functions on the phone, using the already cold nose in place of a currently warm gloved hand. Also leads to iMyopia in the long term.

5 more motor vehicle crashes reported, non fatal
by Ray Pauley
Public Information Officer
Grand Island Fire Co.
Grand Island Fire Chief Kevin Koch reports that Grand Island firefighter/medics have had to contend with five motor vehicle accidents within the three-day period from Aug. 30 through Sept. 1. He noted that this disturbing pattern of frequent MVAs has persisted since a July 9 triple fatality on the I-190.
At 3:40 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 30, 44-year-old Michael Whitfield of Grand Island was treated by GIFC medics for not life-threatening injuries when he lost control of his vehicle and crashed into a utility pole on Baseline Road across from fire headquarters.
He was transported to Mount St. Mary's Hospital and Health Center for precautionary follow-up.
Shortly before 3 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 31, firefighter/medics responded to a multi-vehicle accident on the South Grand Island Bridge, southbound, which involved three cars and a motorcycle.
The motorcyclist, 49-year-old Edward Handy of Grand Island, was treated by GIFC medics for serious traumatic injuries and transported to Erie County Medical Center for further medical attention. A car passenger, 40-year-old Martin Antonio of Buffalo, was treated for not life-threatening injuries and also transported to ECMC for follow-up. A driver, 68-year-old Sheila Held of St. Catharines, Ontario, was evaluated by GIFC medics and transported to Kenmore Mercy Hospital as a precaution.
Later, at 5:38 p.m., GIFC rescue personnel responded to a two-car collision on the I-190 northbound near the Long Road exit ramp.
A 1-year-old child was evaluated by medics and transported to Women and Children's Hospital, along with her mother, 21-year-old Shenea Richie of Buffalo, for additional follow-up. The other driver, 71-year-old Robert Weinstock of Los Angeles, denied injuries.
At 4:10 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 1, 28-year-old Greg Golde of Grand Island lost control of his vehicle, which veered off Bush Road and damaged a nearby home. He was treated by GIFC medics for upper body injuries and transported to ECMC for follow-up.
Finally, at 11:56 p.m., Sept. 1, GIFC rescue personnel responded to a person in distress call and found 58-year-old Hemangini Desai of Alexandria, La., outside of her vehicle on the I-190 southbound, where she was treated by medics for a medical emergency.
