Celebrating graduations, now and in the future It’s May, which means time for graduations. Whether it’s high school or college, there’s thousands of young adults walking across stages this month to get a warm handshake and a diploma, the culmination of years of hard work.

That diploma is the close of one chapter of their lives, and the start of the next. Whether the next step is more education or starting a job, all deserve a kudos and best wished on their next steps.

High school graduations locally started Thursday, with JCA. Interestingly, also held that night was the Joliet Region Education Scholarship Banquet at the Jacob Henry Mansion.

The scholarship, an initiative of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry, “exists to encourage and motivate student college attendance through recognition and financial award for academic performances and community service benefiting students in the Joliet Chamber jurisdiction.”

The unique aspect of this scholarship is that it’s not bestowed to students in high school; only students in grades fourth through eighth are eligible. It’s open to students with a GPA of 3.75 or higher who have demonstrated service to their school or civic community, and who attend public or Catholic elementary or middle schools in the Joliet, Laraway, Rockdale and Troy districts.

The $1,000 scholarships each of the 30-plus kids were awarded last week will be held in a trust until the recipients

VIEWS Kate Schott attend a two- or four-year college.

There were more than 200 people in attendance Thursday at the inaugural banquet; sadly, I couldn’t be one of them, but Chamber Director Russ Slinkard said the applause each of the 34 recipients received was amazing.

“I tell you, you would have thought you were at the Hawks game,” he told me Friday. “The thunderous applause, it was tremendous.

It was great.”

The idea behind granting scholarships at such a young age, Slinkard told me, was to encourage children to start thinking of college while they are just that – kids.

“We are trying to cultivate the feeling that they don’t have to take just any kind of a job, there is a future there for them, they can go to college,” Slinkard said.

“We want to create hope as they go through life,” he added.

It’s taken a while to get the program off the ground, but Slinkard said the effort was well worth it.

“I’ve been here 18 years at the chamber, and we’ve done a lot of things,” he said. “But I think this is the most meaningful one we’ve ever done.”

I’ve been lucky enough to get a diploma four times in my life: junior high, high school, undergrad and graduate school. It was a thrill to get

that piece of paper.

But that paper embodied more than just the years of hard work that had been put in by me: Each one has included the hopes of my parents, who sacrificed to make that moment possible; the encouragement of teachers and professors who pushed me to do my best, and gave their time to help me achieve my dreams; and the investment of those I received scholarships from.

Knowing I had people pulling for me every step of the way was a huge motivator.

I believe not every person needs to go to college to be considered successful, but I support the idea that every child should at least consider whether college is right for him or her – and if that decision is yes, to have hope that attaining a higher education is possible.

How great that these initial scholarship recipients, and the hundreds to follow after them, have the seeds of possibility planted so early in their lives.

The financial assistance may be the obvious benefit these kids received, but I think the real reward is these children know they have the hope and faith of their communities behind them.

Plainfield residents volunteer for The Big Serve

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Ereen Koscielski knows what it means to be homeless, and what a nice, simple gesture can mean.

That’s why she volunteered to create mats out of plastic bags for the homeless through New Life for Old Bags, one of the several projects part of The Big Serve event Saturday and Sunday.

The Big Serve is the inaugural village-wide volunteer event where residents come out to help build, prepare and craft for public service.

The event is a collaboration between the village of Plainfield, Community Christian Church and several other local government and service organizations.

Saturday events included the New Life for Old Bags project at the Plainfield Public Library, a trash and debris sweep at locations along the DuPage River and helping the Plainfield Public Library prepare for its summer reading program.

“We saw this as a great way to partner with the village,” said Ray Green, pastor for Community Christian Church and organizer for The Great Serve. “This is a great start with an awesome turnout.”

Green said about 300 people registered for The Big Serve.

Conservation Plainfield and The Conservation Foundation have been holding the DuPage River sweep annually for the past 22 years. But joining up with The Big Serve has helped bring in new faces to the event Saturday morning.

“They collected a lot of trash and debris,” said Jon Proulx, a planner for the village and organizer for the sweep. “It’s always encouraging to see the volunteers, especially new ones. It’s very rewarding.”

John Basile, the owner and operator of Big Run Wolf Ranch in Lockport, plays with Shere Khan, a then-5-month-old Siberian tiger, in Basile’s kitchen March 5.

Owner of tiger pleads not guilty to endangering public

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Lockport man pleaded not guilty Friday to endangering the public by bringing a tiger to a Lockport bar.

John Basile appeared briefly with attorney Jennifer Kearney before Judge Ray Nash to be arraigned on charges of possession of a dangerous animal, a Class C misdemeanor, and reckless conduct, a Class A misdemeanor. Kearney said the case has been set for a jury trial July 21.

Basile operates the Big Run Wolf Ranch and has an animal exhibitor’s license that allows him to own “dangerous” animals. He acknowledged bringing Shere Khan into Uncle Richie’s on Feb. 16, but maintains he was promoting his business, not behaving recklessly.

Shere Khan is now an 8-month-old Siberian tiger cub.

“He’s doing spectacular.

He now weighs 110 pounds,” Basile said Friday. Basile said visits to the ranch, which also displays wolves and a bear, have increased since Khan’s arrival.

“We had an event with 1,600 people last weekend and all of them wanted to see the tiger,” Basile said. He has sold out of the new tiger T-shirts that were available at the ranch.

“Everyone has been very supportive [during the case] and can see we’re taking care of these animals,” Basile said.

Basile said he has not been contacted by the federal government regarding his licensing since the tiger charges were announced and does not expect to.

Basile was promoting a February “Wildfest” event at the ranch and said two handlers were with him when he brought the animal to the bar. He was walking the tiger on a leash to another bar when a passing Lockport police officer noticed the commotion from passing drivers.

If found guilty of both counts, Basile could face up to a year in jail and $4,000 in fines, but probation would be more likely for a first-time offender.

Basile said Shere Khan weighed about 40 pounds in February and is expected to reach about 700 pounds when he is full grown.

Fairmont school leaders point to progress amid recent controversy One board member resigned; fired employee is suing

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Fairmont School District 89 Board President Joseph Ryan stands behind the work done by the school district’s superintendent amid recent controversy over her leadership.

Since Sonya Whitaker came to the school district in 2010 as the superintendent, Ryan said he has seen students’ academic performance and school finances improve each year.

“We have a fiduciary duty to the taxpayers to do it,” Ryan said about the district’s mission to control its budget.

Ryan said the school board supports Whitaker.

However, Whitaker has faced allegations of abusive behavior from former school board member E. Hope Thigpen-McElrath, who resigned in April; and from former curriculum coordinator Debra Acanfora, who was fired May 7 by school officials.

Before Acanfora was fired, she filed a lawsuit against board members and Whitaker. On Thursday, Acanfora’s attorney, Matthew Pfeiffer, said school officials were in the process of being served and an amended lawsuit would be filed accusing the board of terminating her without justification.

“There’s been a pattern here of activity that would suggest [Acanfora] was singled out and treated differently,” Pfeiffer said.

Both Ryan and Whitaker have declined to comment on the allegations from Thigpen-McElrath or the lawsuit filed by Acanfora.

“There’s been a pattern here of activity that would suggest [Acanfora] was singled out and treated differently.”

Matthew Pfeiffer Debra Acanfora’s attorney

Whitaker said she wanted to become the district’s superintendent to prove “children who are born into a life of poverty have the potential to be excellent.” Previously, Whitaker served in administrative positions for school districts in Schaumburg.

According to Illinois Report Card, roughly 80 percent of the students who attend the school district come from low-income households.

Whitaker said the school district has always struggled with its finances, but one of the ways it was able to get them under control was by conducting a program audit.

Along with the school’s teaching staff, she said they went through each program run under the district and eliminated programs not yielding an investment on student success.

Since 2010, Whitaker said the school district has managed to obtain the status of financial recognition from the state. The status is the highest given by the Illinois State Board of Education, which gives it to district that show financial strength.

In 2010, the school district’s status was financial early warning, the second-to-lowest category, according to

the state board of education’s website.

When it came to academic performance, Whitaker said the school made progress over the years by focusing on the professional development of its teachers on a daily basis.

She said school officials also have launched an initiative called “Parents Count Pick 2” to get parents more involved in their children’s education.

“Research suggests the more parents are involved in their education, the more likely their children are better educated,” she said.

The school district has seen an increase in test scores for the Illinois Standard Achievement Test. For the 2012-13 school year, the percentage of students who met or exceeded ISAT reading and mathematics standards increased by 3 percent in the school district, according to Illinois Report Card.

“We’re making progress even though a greater majority of my students don’t have access to a lot of financial resources,” Whitaker said.

But the progress is running into a few bumps with a resigned board member and fired school employee alleging abusive behavior from Whitaker.

According to the lawsuit filed by Acanfora, she was fired by school officials before her contract was set to end in June for allegedly stealing mail from the school district.

Acanfora alleged abusive behavior in the lawsuit, including throwing stacks of paper and a stapler. She also alleges that the school board violated her due process rights as she was being fired.

HERO Foundation co-founder John Roberts talks with Billy Albano at the HERO HELPS forum Saturday at the Romeoville Athletic and Events Center. Albano survived a heroin overdose and Roberts told the story of how his family revived him using knowledge gained from HERO.

Forum held to educate on dangers of heroin

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – The Albano family knows what it’s like to almost lose a child to an heroin overdose.

One Thursday night, Don Albano saw an unidentified person drop the unresponsive body of his son, Billy Albano, in front of their New Lenox home.

Don Albano and his wife, Gail, took him inside the house after they couldn’t detect any breathing and administered two injections of nalaxone and CPR. Billy Albano started breathing five minutes later

and paramedics took over.

“Without the knowledge we learned from the HERO Foundation, [Billy] wouldn’t be here today,” Don Albano said.

The family’s account of that day is written in a letter to HERO’s co-founder John Roberts, who read it aloud Saturday during a community forum on heroin addiction and resources for victims and their families.

The forum was held by the foundation, Will County HELPS and Southwest Coalition for Substance Abuse

• FORUM

Continued from page 6 Issues, at the Romeoville Athletic and Events Center. The forum also hosted several tables of heroin awareness groups.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh, U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, and state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, spoke at the forum, which focused on providing awareness to families and updates on the latest treatment and emergency lifesaving operations “This is really important to us ... we can’t do anything to help the people involved with addiction other than to help the families understand what it is their kids are going through,” Roberts said.

Roberts, who lost his 19-year-old son in 2009 to an heroin overdose, said it was his mission to help concerned and grieving families deal with heroin addiction and death of a loved one.

“It’s hard for me to admit, as I studied this problem, how bad it was,” Roberts said. “I’m a cop.

I’ve devoted my life 40 years to fighting crime and drugs. We

were losing the war.”

Roberts said traditional methods weren’t working and it wasn’t enough to prosecute offenders. The problem, he said, needs to be fixed through education. He praised work done by Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, legislators, media and volunteers to raise awareness of heroin use and label it as an epidemic.

Roberts also introduced a new state bill he named after his late son, Billy’s Bill, which would force hospitals to release data on how many patients come in with heroin addictions or related injuries and trauma.

One of the most promising developments in the fight against heroin deaths is nalaxone, a drug called narcan that immediately reverses the effects of heroin. George DeTella from the DuPage County Health Department said that three lives have been saved since the county started arming police officers with narcan shots.

Foster said he is working to make narcan an over-thecounter drug, but he still was frustrated with Congress cutting programs that help curb heroin addiction.

I turned to the Best Minds in Medicine for my cancer treatment.

Working on skyscrapers, I face challenges every day. But nothing could prepare me for cancer.

Worst of all, was the thought of never seeing my little girls grow up.

But Dr. Suh, and a dedicated team, got me through it.

That’s why I’m here.

We are at the Forefront of Cancer Care.

We diagnosed John with a germ cell tumor — a rare form of cancer.

Our team of doctors, researchers and rare cancer specialists was able to successfully treat John’s disease.

Helping people like John is a privilege.

There was a student talking about Food Fight, and Matthews said she and Molaro are interested in ending world hunger.

Although the packing event is a year away, the girls have already gotten to work on organizing the event.

“The majority of the work has been getting it approved by our administration because, with block schedules, it’s really hard to fit it within our schedule,” Matthews said.

She said the school administration was completely on board when they proposed the event.

“They thought it was so cool that high schoolers were asking to help,” she said.

“Usually, I feel like it’s the teachers that are asking the students to get involved, and

this was the high schoolers coming to the teachers asking them to get involved.”

Lemont High School Assistant Principal Dave Clark said he is impressed with the initiative Matthews and Molaro have taken.

“I don’t doubt that they will be able to pull it off, but it will be impressive when they do,” he said.

Clark said Lemont High School has the right kind of students to make the event succeed.

“Our kids step up like none I’ve every seen,” he said.

Matthews, Molaro and their friends – mostly other sophomore girls – have already started on the fundraising, with a goal of $5,000.

“I’m a very competitive person and I want to pack more meals than all the other schools,” Matthews said.

She said they have already raised $2,700 from nine businesses and organizations sponsoring the event: Community Christian Church Lemont, The Patti Group, Front Street Cantina, 1st Advantage Mortgage/Country Financial, Brad Grcevic of Edward Jones, RTS Inc., Mosquito Squad, Aurora Rose a Unique Boutique and LHS Junior Achievement.

They also made $400 from a bake sale.

The next fundraising event is Sunday at Front Street Can-

tina, when 10 percent of all the proceeds will go to Food Fight.

Matthews said they are still thinking of fundraisers to do this summer, such as other dinner-related events and car washes. She said the next school year is when they will really start to get the word out to the students about Food Fight. The students who have

LEMONT – Lemont High School sophomore Olivia Matthews knows her school has a giving spirit.

“I feel like once we have a cause, we all have so much passion,” she said. “If we direct that passion into something good, we can do incredible things.”

Matthews and fellow sophomore Jenna Molaro are organizing Food Fight, a student-run charitable event to pack meals for starving children around the world.

Lemont High School will be the seventh school to participate in Food Fight, joining three Naperville high schools, two Aurora high schools and Downers Grove North High School.

The event is run in conjunction with the organization Impact Lives.

The students raise money, which Impact Lives uses to purchase food. Then, Impact Lives brings the food to the school, and the students spend a day packing it.

Matthews said she and Molaro learned about Food Fight while attending an event at Community Christian Church in Lemont.

“They were talking about doing something for society and not being just a stereotyp-

Lemont students join fight against world hunger

QUICK NEWS MORRIS – A town hall meeting will be held Monday for Grundy County residents to discuss underage drinking.

The meeting is part of a national initiative known as National Prevention Week for Underage Drinking. According to Paula Goodwin of the No Tolerance Task Force, Grundy County is one of several areas across the country hosting meetings to discuss the problem.

The event – titled “Underage Drinking: Facing the Facts” – will be from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Monday in the Morris Community High

School Auditorium. Advocacy representatives and professional experts who will be there include Kristie Polk of Crossroads Counseling, Becky Peterson of Breaking Free, Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland, Rita Kreslin from the Alliance Against Intoxicated Motorists and Dawn Early from Mothers Against Drunk Driving. The speakers will talk about the psychological effects of underage drinking and how it increases an adolescent’s chances of becoming an alcoholic later in life. Kreslin will tell her personal story of losing her son in an alcohol-related traffic crash,

and the panel also will discuss how to treat alcoholism and how reduce youth access to alcohol.

Rep. Lipinski announces art competition winner

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, has announced that Brian Pfister, a senior at Oak Lawn Community High School, is the Third Congressional District’s winner of this year’s Congressional Art Competition.

Pfister’s digital photograph, entitled “Salute,” shows an image from an Air Force Ceremony involving his brother, according to a news release from Lipinski’s

office. The photograph will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for the next year alongside the winning pieces from congressional districts across the country. He also will receive two round-trip tickets for the exhibition opening this summer in Washington, D.C. Rep. Lipinski presented Pfister

with a certificate at a special ceremony attended by his family, teachers, school officials and friends at Oak Lawn Community High School. The congressman also gave him an American flag that had been flown over the U.S. Capitol in Washington.

BUILD A BIKE

Shorewood children get new bicycles at national event

Troy Shorewood Fire Department of Seil Road served as the staging area to build 30 bicycles for children of lower-income families at the second annual National Build-A-Bike event produced by the Golden State Foods Foundation.

BY JAN LARSEN What’s better than getting a free bike?

For 29 youngsters in the Shorewood area Saturday, it was the opportunity to help put the bike together with a cool buddy AND get a free helmet and lock.

The second annual National Build-A-Bike event produced by the Golden State Foods Foundation brought smiles to the faces of children, parents and volunteers alike at the Troy Shorewood Fire Department on Seil Road.

“This was one of 26 GSF facilities nationwide that gave away 1,000 bikes today,” said Wayne Luter, general manager of the Lemont and Oakbrook facilities. Many of the children had participated in “Shop with a Cop” last Christmas with Shorewood police officers and several of them also volunteered.

Gary Kory, owner of several McDonald’s (a large GSF business partner) and a volunteer with his son at the event, was smiling at least partly because, he said, “I’m happy to see no hand brakes. It’s been a while since I put a bike together.”

Gary and his son, Nick, partnered with Aiden Webb, 6, of Troy Craughwell Elementary School, who said he especially liked the bike because it was his favorite color, red.

And it had a kickstand. And admirable handles.

“I got to make it myself!” enthused Ninfa Martinez, a fourth-grader at Troy Hofer Elementary School. “My dad wouldn’t ever let me help.”

“I really wanted her to take the reins and use her intuition,” said volunteer Bryan Sheard, a McDonald’s employee. “That makes it a learning experience.”

Actually, it was a learning experience for both of them as he had never put a bike together before, either.

The GSF press release reiterated that point by saying “Children can take pride in building their bike with an accompanying ‘buddy’ mentor. The program teaches fundamental life skills such as goal setting, safety, the value of hard work to achieve goals, and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle through physical activity.”

Seven Joliet schools and their PTOs and more than 20 agencies that mostly serve Joliet’s East Side children came together to show parents the wide variety of activities and resources they can take advantage of as the school year winds down.

Vehicles on Route 126 wait Feb. 25 as a freight train passes on the railroad tracks west of Route 59 in Plainfield. fic jams caused by the freight rails, which are owned by Canadian National Railway.

“We’re very unique that when a train goes through and stops, it ties up the entire town,” Village Trustee Margie Bonuchi said. “I live

on the east side of Route 59 and to jockey around is quite difficult, and in some cases, quite dangerous.”

No clear cut solutions emerged during Friday’s meeting, but Hultgren said the discussion would be the

first step of many in resolving the issue.

“This is very important.

The worst thing possible is that we come back [to the issue] because of a tragedy. I want to do everything I can, and I know that’s what you’re trying to do, as well, to make sure we never get to that point,” he said.

Canadian National Railway bought the EJ&E railway in 2008, increasing traffic on rail lines that cross Plainfield roads at 13 different intersections. Since then, train delays of more than 10 minutes almost doubled every year in Plainfield, according to the railroad company’s own records – with 83 delays in 2014, compared to 43 in 2013 and 28 in 2012.

Hultgren said he plans to meet with the railway company officials and schedule a follow-up meeting with village officials about next steps.

PLAINFIELD – Trains stopped at the Route 126 railroad crossing for long periods of time pose a danger for schoolchildren walking to Indian Trail Middle School, Plainfield Deputy Fire Chief Rep. Randy Jon Stratton Hultgren said.

R-Winfield “We get calls, and they’ll talk to the school, too, saying they’re crawling underneath and across the train. We’ve heard that they’ve crawled between the trains,” Stratton said. “But that’s dangerous. You never know when that train’s going to move.”

Stratton was among a handful of local village, pub-

lic safety and school officials who met with U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Winfield, on Friday at Village Hall to voice their concerns to Hultgren about ongoing issues with stopped trains.

School buses have been delayed up to 45 minutes at least three times this year because trains were stopped on the tracks for extended periods of time, Plainfield School District 202 Associate Superintendent Lane Abrell said.

With the school district’s multi-tier bus schedule, one delayed bus can create additional delays for other bus routes.

“That’s lost time,” he said.

“As much as our teachers try to make that up. … It does add up to a loss of educational opportunities.”

At the meeting, village trustees also expressed frustration at the increased blockages and associated traf-

Lockport police to have coffee and chat with residents

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Coffee with the cops, anyone?

Police officials in Lockport want to engage the community in a more relaxed setting with coffee and doughnuts available. It’s a new initiative – planned for once a month – to make the Lockport police less intimidating to residents.

The event will be at 9 a.m.

Thursday at the Gladys Fox Museum, 803 S. State St. Lockport Police Officer Terry Kevin Brauch Lemming proposed the idea of launching “Coffee with the Cops” meetings. The department always is looking for ways to reach out to the community that could be visible. He said he typically is inspired by the way the Dallas and Seattle police departments engage their communities.

“We want to hear their concerns and also at the same time have coffee and talk,” Brauch said.

According to the Coffee with a Cop website, more than 175 cities and towns in 36 states run a similar event.

It’s a way for police and community members to come together in an informal, neutral

Agreement signed on possible courthouse site

If you go What: Lockport Police “Coffee with the Cops” When: 9 a.m. Thursday Where: Gladys Fox Museum, 803 S. State St. For information: Call 815838-2132 space to discuss community issues, build relationships and drink coffee, according to the website.

The website also stated that community members who attend these events “are likely to leave with a more positive impression of their local law enforcement agency.”

Lockport police Chief Terry Lemming said he hopes the event attracts a good group of people and some of them share their concerns.

“I believe residents have concerns, but they don’t ask us,” Lemming said. “So we’re hoping they come and ask us about their concerns so we can address them.”

There is no agenda or guest speakers. Just talking, along with coffee and doughnuts provided by the police.

Among some of the issues residents could discuss would be traffic violations and allegations of drug dealing in the community, which residents have discussed previously with police.

Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante (from left) watches as Will County Executive Larry Walsh and First Midwest Bank President Jim Roolf sign an agreement to purchase the bank’s building at Ottawa and Jefferson streets for the site of what could be a future Will County Courthouse. The County Board has not finalized a decision on the courthouse, but the acquisition of the bank property makes the project more likely.

The signing occurred after the regular May meeting of the Will County Board on Thursday.

Dunkin’ Donuts plan changed

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Developer Lee Fry Companies, Inc. released a new concept for building a Dunkin’ Donuts off Route 59 and Arnold Street after the old design was shot down by the village’s Plan Commission because of protests by nearby residents.

The new renderings and site plan directly addresses residents’ concerns, including

increased traffic and noise, Village Planner Michael Garrigan said.

“They’ve modified the drive-thru by adding a bypass lane and shifting the access point from Arnold Street to Oak Street,” said Garrigan, adding that Lee Fry also added extensive landscaping and a 4-foot perimeter fence to act as noise buffers.

The site plan will be discussed at the Tuesday Plan Commission meeting.

GENEVA – Northern Illinois Food Bank officials have named Julie Yurko as the organization’s president and CEO. Yurko, who is the organization’s vice president of philanthropy and communications, will succeed CEO Pete Schaefer, who announced earlier this year that he would be stepping down.

“I am certainly humbled and very excited,” said Yurko, 45, who lives in Winfield with her husband, Julie Yurko Ed, and their four children.

“Not only is it a vote of confidence in me, it is a vote of confidence in the whole operation.”

Last year, the food bank distributed 42 million meals to those in need through its network of food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and youth and senior centers. The food bank serves 13 counties, including Will and Grundy counties.

Yurko said one of her goals is to increase the number of meals the food bank serves to make sure that fewer people are going hungry. She also wants to continue to increase the awareness of hunger in the counties the food bank serves.

“We know it is real,” Yurko said.

• VOLUNTEERS

Continued from page 3 Vanderhoek brought the New Life for Old Bags event from Chicago to Plainfield.

Every third Saturday of the month, volunteers gather plastic bags, flatten, fold and cut them, then braid them into “plarn” or plastic yarn, Morrow said.

The plarn is then crocheted into mats for the homeless to use.

“There’s sadly a huge need for it,” Morrow said. “This is graduation weekend, so partnering with The Big Serve helped us bring some new faces.”

Koscielski braided thin strips of plastic bags together so volunteers can take them home and stitch mats out of them.

“The (homeless) guys need it,” Koscielski said. “These really protect them from the wet ground and keeps them warm.”

Koscielski said she is homeless with her 13-yearold daughter. They bounce from place to place, staying at friends’ places.

She hasn’t had a job since October 2012, around the time she developed severe health problems. It has been six months since her last surgery.

“I do this every month,” Koscielski said. “It’s only two hours a month, and it’s so easy to do. So there’s no reason not to go out and volunteer.”

Online registration is closed, but residents still can sign up to volunteer for Sunday events at 1 p.m. in the Community Christian Church.

“We hope this gets bigger every year,” Green said. “My vision is what if the whole village, 40,000-plus people, sign up to help each other?”

Some volunteer projects Sunday include collecting and sorting food donations, assembling “journey bags” for foster children, doing yard work and spring cleanup for residents who need assistance, and paint and do light construction work for Leap of Faith Arts Ministries.

JOLIET – A new command structure being proposed by the Joliet Police Department would eliminate one division commander and reclassify three other division commanders as deputy chiefs.

The proposal, which is set to be considered by the Joliet City Council at its regular meeting Tuesday, will flatten the department’s command staff from three levels to two, according to Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton.

The reduction will allow the department to address a problem of pay leveling between exempt command positions, where salaries have been frozen since 2009, and union supervisory positions, which have continued to receive annual raises.

“We can’t get captains to apply for the commander positions because they’d make less money,” Councilman John Gerl said.

Because of the pay issue, only one of the four division commander positions is currently filled, Gerl said.

When a division commander position opened in early 2011, fewer than five people applied for the position and only

one at the rank of lieutenant or higher, according to a memo

by Benton.

“What this does is provide some separation between the captains and deputy chiefs and creates a career path,” Gerl said.

Under the current threetier structure, the police chief heads a hierarchy that includes a deputy chief and four division commanders.

The deputy chief handles discipline, assists in daily operations and serves in the chief’s absence. A division commander oversees operations, investigations, quality assurance and technical services.

Under the proposed two-tier structure, the chief would oversee four deputy chiefs, who would manage operations, investigations, quality assurance and technical services.

A similar system is used in Naperville, Normal, Springfield, Rockford and several other police departments in the region.

The new structure also is designed to provide more effective communication within the department and clearer lines of control, as well as generate a broader pool of qualified candidates to eventually assume the position as chief, according to Benton’s memo.

POLICE NEWS Man accused of selling fake Blackhawks tickets

BOLINGBROOK – A Bolingbrook man is facing a felony forgery charge for allegedly selling a pair of fake Blackhawks tickets.

The DuPage County Sheriff’s Office alleges Edgar I. Kim, 29, met with a victim at a DuPage County business and sold the person two fake tickets advertised on Craigslist.

It wasn’t until the victim went to the game that they discovered the tickets were not real, according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.

Kim was arrested Thursday.

He was being held in the DuPage County Jail on $10,000 bond, the release states.

Trucker mugged while looking for ‘some women’

JOLIET – A truck driver told police he was jumped by three or four men Thursday night in a parking lot.

Joliet police Chief Brian Benton said the 50-year-old Arizona man was staying at a motel near Six Corners when he spoke with another man “about meeting some women.”

About 11:45 p.m. he was directed to a nearby store on Plainfield Road where he was attacked in the parking lot, Benton said.

“He was beat up, but his injuries were not life-threatening.

His wallet and cash were taken,” Benton said.

"A gentle passing for a gentle lady" on Friday, May 16, 2014, at her late Minooka residence.

Jeannette C. Parris was born the daughter of the late Kulzer and Charlotte Boley (nee Zemple) in Eau Claire, Wisconsin.

On June 26, 1948, she was united in marriage to Kenneth B. Parris, to this union they were blessed with three children, Jeanine Parris Calogero, Tom Parris and wife, Micki and John Parris and wife, Shelley. Dear grandmother of seven and great grandmother of eleven; devoted sister of John (the late Cherie) Boley and Rich (Carol) Boley, also surviving is her sister in law, Rose Boley, her dedicated caretaker and friend Renee' Malarz as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by her parents, her dearly loved husband, Kenneth (2005); her sister, Patricia; and brother, Tom. Jeannette was the eldest of five children. As such she often took on the role of "little Mother." This translated in her adult life to a passionate interest in children's education. She was educated at The College of St. Teresa in Winona, Minnesota under the Sisters of St. Francis. She taught school for over 35 years. Most of that time was spent teaching first grade in Channahon, IL, a job she dearly loved as was intensely devoted to.

As her college roommate once told her at a CST reunion, "do you realize how many little lives you have sent off on a path of education?" After retiring, she turned her attention to tutoring her grandchildren and most definitely credited with teaching her youngest granddaughter, Lynnette, to read. A friend and colleague once said, "She is the only true lady I have ever known."

With her passing goes a great deal of what grace and true beauty is left in the world.

Funeral Services for Jeannette C. Parris will be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2014, at 9:15 AM at The Maple Funeral Home located at 24300 W. Ford Rd., Channahon to St. Mary's Catholic Church, Minooka for Mass ^\ *, of Christian Burial at 10:00 AM. Interment St. Mary Cemetery, Minooka. Visitation Monday, May 19, 2014 from 3:00 to 7:00 PM.

Miss Beazley, former President George W. Bush’s beloved Scottish terrier, has died. Bush’s office announced Saturday that Miss Beazley was “put to rest” this weekend after battling cancer.

Former White House dog dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS DALLAS – Miss Beazley, former President George W. Bush’s beloved Scottish terrier, has died.

Bush’s office announced Saturday that Miss Beazley was “put to rest” this weekend after battling cancer.

She was nearly 10 years old.

The statement said Miss Beazley was “a source of joy” during Bush’s time in Washington and in Dallas, where he and his wife, Laura, live.

Miss Beazley was born in October 2004. The pooch was later presented to Laura Bush as a birthday president from her husband.

The family pet was featured in a December 2005 video, “A Very Beazley Christmas” – a look at White House holiday life presented from the a dog’s point of view.

The dog was named for the character Uncle Beazley, a dinosaur in Oliver Butterworth’s children’s book, “The Enormous Egg.”

Legislature OKs police official misconduct bill

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Legislature has passed a measure that makes it unlawful for police dispatchers to tip off criminals.

Currently, that’s not considered “official misconduct” under Illinois law. The House voted unanimously Friday to make the act a felony.

Official misconduct covers a wide variety of crimes by public employees, including accepting bribes.

The legislation comes after a 2010 Illinois Supreme Court case. A police dispatcher was charged with official misconduct for tipping off a drug dealer. The court found her not guilty because nothing in law banned her from alerting the criminal.

Parents charged in starvation death of baby

BARRINGTON – A suburban Chicago couple has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in the starvation death of their infant daughter.

Police in Barrington announced the charges Friday evening.

Nineteen-year-old Markisha Jones and 22-year-old Gene Edwards were to appear in bond court Saturday.

It was not immediately clear if they already had an attorney.

Their 7-month girl died in January at an apartment the couple was renting in Bar-

rington. They currently live in Bolingbrook.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office ruled the girl’s death a homicide due to malnutrition from starvation.

The girl’s twin sister was taken into custody by child welfare authorities.

Religious conventions big business

SPRINGFIELD – Religion is big business in the state capital when it comes to bringing in convention and tourism dollars.

Between now and the summer of 2015, nearly 20 conferences and conventions are planned in Springfield, and those are just the events handled through the Convention and Visitors Bureau.

“There are many more,” said interim bureau Director Gina Gemberling. “... It’s just a

market where we’ve seen a lot of success.”

They include next month’s Rapture Forums Prophecy Conference, which is expected to draw about 400 people from across the country. Then there’s the American Baptist Association’s gathering in June 2015, which could see 2,000 participants.

Organizers of the Rapture Forum went through the visitor’s bureau to help reserve the hundreds of hotel rooms needed for the four-day event.

It’s the first time the forum has come to Springfield.

Phone left in hotel room leads to porn charges

MADISON, Wis. – A Chicago-area man is charged with possessing child pornography after police found questionable photos on a phone he left be-

hind in a Madison hotel room.

According to the complaint, 50-year-old Cesar G. Munive, of North Riverside, Illinois, told police he downloaded images from the Internet onto a phone that was found last September by a hotel maid after he checked out.

The Wisconsin State Journal reports police first found pictures of girls between 7 and 12, in underwear or swimsuits, in suggestive poses.

A detective later turned up nude photos of girls as young as age 3. A detective concluded the phone was used almost solely for browsing pornographic websites.

Possession of child pornography carries a mandatory minimum of three years in Wisconsin.

Online court records don’t list an attorney.

CHICAGO – The newest chairman of the Illinois Republican Party said Saturday the state’s reputation and budget are “in the gutter” and pledged to work “tirelessly” to defeat Gov. Pat Quinn and other Democrats in November.

Cook County Commissioner Tim Schneider received the unanimous support of the GOP’s state central committee during a meeting in Springfield.

He was the only candidate for the job after his lone opponent withdrew from the race.

Schneider, a small business owner from the Chicago suburb of Bartlett, said Illinois has become “a corrupt, one-party state in desperate need of a change.”

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Utah lawmaker: Bring back that,” one woman quipped as Grimes finished her speech. firing squad executions SALT LAKE CITY – In the wake of a botched lethal injection in Oklahoma last month, a Utah lawmaker said he believes a firing squad is a more humane form of execution.

And he plans to bring back that option for criminals sentenced to death in his state.

Rep. Paul Ray, a Republican from the northern Utah city of Clearfield, plans to introduce his proposal during Utah’s next legislative session in January.

Lawmakers in Wyoming and Missouri floated similar ideas this year, but both efforts stalled. Ray, however, may succeed. Utah already has a tradition of execution by firing squad, with five police officers using .30-caliber Winchester rifles to execute Ronnie Lee Gardner in 2010, the last execution by rifle to be held in the state.

Ray argues the controversial method may seem more palatable now, especially as states struggle to maneuver lawsuits and drug shortages that have complicated lethal injections.

In Ky. Senate race, primaries preview Nov.

FRANKLIN, Ky. – Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes was firing up a group of about 30 voters from a picturesque gazebo Saturday when the sun suddenly broke through the clouds and shone on her face.

“How much did she pay for

It’s a fair question in one of the country’s most expensive and contentious Senate races.

Grimes, Kentucky’s secretary of state, and Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell already have raised a combined $19 million in the two years leading up to Tuesday’s primary elections. But with Grimes and McConnell both holding big leads over their primary opponents, their campaigns view Tuesday as a dress rehearsal for November’s showdown.

A McConnell win could help swing control of the Senate to the Republicans, setting up two years of intense fighting on the future of the nation’s health care law. A Democratic win would topple a 30-year GOP incumbent and Senate leader.

States move to expand experimental drugs

DENVER – Nick Auden didn’t live to see the legislation, but the case of the Denver melanoma patient who died while seeking access to an experimental drug helped inspire a first-of-its kind law in Colorado.

The “Right To Try” law allows terminally ill patients to obtain experimental drugs without getting federal approval. It’s a proposal being advanced in several states by patient advocates who are frustrated by the yearslong federal approval process for experimental drugs in the pipeline.

Chase and Brittany Boslet take pictures of smoke from the Las Pulgas fire burning on the Marine Corps Camp Pendleton base Friday from a highway rest area near Oceanside, California. San Diego County officials said Friday five wildfires have been 100 percent contained. Still, crews were focusing efforts on two large fires – one in the city of San Marcos and two blazes at the Marine Corps’ Camp Pendleton.

Weary crews prepare for long wildfire season

By ELLIOT SPAGAT The Associated Press ESCONDIDO, Calif. – Firefighters scoured charred hillsides north of San Diego on Saturday to guard against a resurgence of flames that ripped through the region, while the last of tens of thousands of evacuees prepared to return home. For those battling a series of blazes for days, the relief was mixed with a sense of dread that drought-sapped vegetation, high temperatures and low humidity portend a long fire season ahead.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has responded to more than 1,500 fires this year, compared with about 800 during an average year.

“Normally, I don’t even put wildfire gear in my vehicle until the end of April.

This year, I never took it

out,” said Kirk Kushen, battalion chief of the Kern County Fire Department said at a base camp in Escondido. “We never really completed the 2013 fire season. It’s been a continuation.”

At least 10 fires spanning 39 square miles have chewed a destructive path through San Diego County since Tuesday, destroying 11 houses, an 18-unit apartment complex and two businesses. A badly burned body was found in a transient camp, and one firefighter suffered heat exhaustion.

The first blaze was caused by a spark from construction equipment, according to state officials, but it could take months to get to the bottom of the most damaging fires.

Alberto Serrato, 57, pleaded not guilty Friday to an arson charge in connection with one of the smaller fires,

but authorities said they don’t believe he started it, just added brush to it.

Ocean breezes and lower temperatures Saturday aided firefighters, who focused on a 1,000-acre blaze on the Camp Pendleton Marine base and a 4-square-mile blaze that started in the suburb of San Marcos.

Firefighters doused remaining hotspots with hoses and water-filled backpacks, sawed large logs and raked soil with shovels and other hand tools to ensure the ground was moist enough to prevent fires from returning.

Kushen, who was working his 10th straight day and was nearly 27 hours into his shift as his team prepared to go rest at a hotel, saw between 15 and 20 destroyed houses or other structures while combing the hills in and around San Marcos for smoke and smoldering brush.

Deaths reported as thousands flee record Balkan floods

By JOVANA GEC and ALMIR ALIC The Associated Press MAGLAJ, Bosnia – Packed into buses, boats and helicopters, carrying nothing but a handful of belongings, tens of thousands fled their homes Saturday in Bosnia and Serbia to escape the worst flooding in a century.

Rapidly rising rivers surged into homes, sometimes reaching up to the second floors, sending people climbing to rooftops for rescue.

Hundreds also were evacuated in Croatia.

Authorities said 25 people have died but warned the death toll could rise. Tens of thousands of homes were left without electricity or drinking water.

Landslides triggered by the floods also raised the risk of injury or death from land mines left over from Bosnia’s 199295 war. The landslides swept away many of the carefully placed warning signs around the minefields.

Three months’ worth of rain has fallen on the region in three days this week, creating the worst floods since records began being kept 120 years ago.

Observed from the air, almost a third of Bosnia, mostly its northeast corner, resembled a huge muddy lake, with houses, roads and rail lines submerged. Admir Malagic, a

spokesman for Bosnia’s Security Ministry, said about a million people – more than a quarter of the country’s population – live in the affected area.

“Bosnia is facing a horrible catastrophe,” said Bakir Izetbegovic, the chairman of the Bosnian three-man presidency. “We are still not fully aware of actual dimensions of the catastrophe. ... We will have to take care of hundreds, thousands of people. ...”

Izetbegovic was touring Maglaj, hard hit by floods. As the waters mostly withdrew Saturday, Maglaj was covered in mud and debris, with residents checking damage and bringing furniture out in the streets to dry.

“Everything is destroyed, but we are happy to be alive,” said Maglaj resident Zijad Omerovic.

In the eastern Bosnian town of Bijeljina, some 10,000 people were being evacuated Saturday after the rain-swollen Sava River pushed through flood defenses, endangering four villages outside the town.

The peak of the Sava flood wave was expected in Bijeljina later Saturday, before advancing to Serbia.

“We need everything, we are underwater,” Mayor Mico Micic said.

In eastern Croatia, the overflowing Sava spread over villages and farm land, sending hundreds fleeing.

From our event’s many sponsors to the hundreds of attendees, your true kindness and generous support is greatly appreciated.

Record flooding in the Balkans left at least 20 people dead in Serbia and Bosnia and is forced tens of thousands to flee their homes.

“This group is armed, with heavy weapons of an unimaginable sophistication and the ability to use them,” said French President Francois Hollande.

He said the weapons came from chaotic Libya, and the training took place in Mali before the oustGoodluck er of its al-QaJonathan ida linked Islamist leaders.

As for the money, Hollande said its origins were murky.

“Boko Haram is acting clearly as an al-Qaida opera-

tion,” said Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan, who had only reluctantly accepted outside help after years of insisting the group was a local problem.

Cameroon, which French officials said until recently also treated Boko Haram as a purely Nigerian issue, has become increasingly involved. The attack late Friday against a Chinese engineering firm’s camp left at least 10 people missing and one person dead. China is a major investor in the region, helping build infrastructure, public health projects and sports facilities and importing crude oil, timber and cotton.

The camp was in the same nearly trackless parkland where the girls were first spirited away after an attack on their school in northern Nigeria, highlighting Boko Haram’s ability to cross borders unimpeded.

An intelligence cell involving French, British and American agents is already operating out of Nigeria, but Boko Haram has seemingly continued to strike unimpeded.

Hollande also emphasized that Boko Haram had clearly established ties with other terror groups in Africa, making it a concern throughout the continent and beyond.

Turkish miner says company to blame Lao defense chief, four

others killed in plane crash

By DESMOND BUTLER The Associated Press SAVASTEPE, Turkey – Miner Erdal Bicak believes he knows why so many of his colleagues died in Turkey’s worst mining disaster: Company negligence.

And he knows one other thing – he’s never going back down any mine again.

Bicak, 24, had just ended his shift Tuesday and was making his way to the surface when managers ordered him to retreat because of a problem in the Soma coal mine in western Turkey. Workers gathered in one area to hastily put on gas masks.

“The company is guilty,” Bicak told The Associated Press, adding that managers had machines that measure methane gas levels. “The new gas levels had gotten too high and they didn’t tell us in time.”

The miner also said government safety inspectors never visited the lower reaches of the Soma mine and have no idea of how bad conditions get.

Government and mining officials have insisted, however, that the disaster that killed 301 workers was not due to negligence and the mine was inspected regularly.

Akin Celik, the Soma mine’s operations manager, has said thick smoke from the underground fire killed many miners who had no gas masks.

High levels of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide have also been a problem for rescue workers as well.

A Turkish mining company defended its safety record Friday, four days after over 250 people died in an underground blaze at its coal mine in western Turkey.

Bicak, whose leg was badly injured and in a cast, recounted his miraculous escape late Friday while at a candle-lit vigil for Soma victims in the town square of nearby Savastepe.

On Saturday, rescue workers retrieved the bodies of the last two miners missing in the disaster, putting the death toll at 301, Energy Minister Taner Yildiz said.

He said 485 miners escaped or were rescued.

“Until today we had focused on search and rescue efforts.

Now we will be focusing on investigations, on what will happen about production,” Yildiz said.

“The true cause of the accident will be assessed ... through different dimensions,” he added. “There will be lessons to draw for the mining world.”

Public anger has surged in the wake of the Soma coal mine fire. Police used tear gas and water cannon Friday to disperse protesters in Soma who were demanding that Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s government resign.

On Saturday, police increased security in Soma to prevent new protests and detained lawyers who scuffled with police after objecting to identity checks, NTV television reported.

BANGKOK – A military plane carrying senior Lao government officials crashed Saturday in a wooded area as it approached an airport in the country’s northeast, killing at least five people, including the defense minister and other high-ranking members of the authoritarian country’s ruling party.

Lao National Television showed video of the mangled wreckage of the plane, with smoke rising from its badly charred remains. The footage showed rescuers pulling away pieces of aircraft debris and trying to dig through the remaining fuselage with shovels, as medical crews stood by watching.

About 18 people were believed to be on board the plane, which left Vientiane, Laos’ capital, early Saturday morning to bring the group to an official ceremony in Xiangkhoung province, about 290 miles away, said Thai Foreign Ministry spokesman Sek Wannamethee. Earlier reports had said about 20 people were on board.

The Ukrainian-made Antonov AN-74TK-300 crashed in Xiangkhoung’s Pek district, where authorities were “helping to rescue the survivors,” according to Lao state news agency KPL, which cit-

ed an announcement from the Prime Minister’s Office. The brief official statement did not say how many people had died in the crash or survived.

Among those confirmed killed were Defense Minister Douangchay Phichit and his wife, said Nipat Thonglek, the Thai Defense Ministry’s permanent secretary.

Douangchay was also one of Laos’ deputy prime ministers and a high-ranking member of its Politburo, the main decision-making body for the nation’s all-powerful Lao People’s Revolutionary Party, which has ruled the single-party state since 1975.

Others killed in the crash included Minister of Public Security Thongbane Sengaphone, Vientiane Gov. Sukhan Mahalad and at least one other senior ruling party official, Sek said. He said he was given the information by authorities in neighboring Laos who did not immediately release details about the other passengers.

The Lao government is known for its secrecy, and most information about the crash – including the initial confirmation that it occurred – came from officials in neighboring Thailand.

“The accident happened as the plane was about to land at Xiangkhoung airport,” said Sek. The airport is near one of Laos’ major archaeological sites, the Plain of Jars.

NEW DELHI – Thousands of people welcomed India’s next prime minister in the capital Saturday after he led his party to a resounding election victory, with Narendra Modi flashing a victory sign to his cheering supporters and telling them that the win “created a new confidence among people.”

Results announced Friday from the weeks-long polls showed that Modi and the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party had won the most decisive election victory India has seen in three decades, sweeping the long-dominant Congress party from power.

On Saturday, Modi was greeted by roaring crowds outside the BJP’s headquarters in the heart of New Delhi, where he met with the party’s leadership to discuss forming a new government.

The headquarters were festooned with garlands made of marigold flowers and multi-

colored balloons. Supporters blew conch shells, which traditionally mark the start of most Hindu rituals. As Modi walked toward the office, he was showered with rose petals.

In a country where elections usually result in cacophony rather than a single roar, Modi pulled off a mandate of staggering proportions, leaving him unfettered to pursue the agenda of economic revival and development that propelled him to victory.

What remains to be seen is how quickly Modi, who has ruled the western state of Gujarat since 2001, can match the enormous expectations he has created in an electorate that is hungry for change.

For most of the past two years, Modi, 63, has worked relentlessly to market himself as the one leader capable of waking this nation of 1.2 billion from its economic slumber, while trying to shake off allegations that he looked the other way amid communal riots in his home state in 2002 that killed 1,000 people, most of them Muslims.

Investing with little risk Dear Mr. Berko: I’m 43 years old. My wife is 47. Both of us work at low-paying jobs. Together we make about $63,000 a year and take home $53,000.

We live in a small home with no mortgage and have a 2004 Toyota. We don’t have children. We don’t have any debt.

During 18 years of marriage, we’ve saved $56,000. Plus, we got an inheritance of $86,000 in 2012 from my father’s life insurance. We want to invest this money to earn more than the 1.1 percent the bank pays, but we don’t want to lose, because we will need this money for retirement. My wife wanted to invest $100,000 in a U.S. government bond that pays 3.5 percent for 30 years, which would be $3,500 a year. A broker we saw told us to invest $100,000 in a variable annuity paying 5 percent. So my wife and I decided to invest half in the Treasury bond and half in the annuity. I told my brother

what we were going to do, and he told us to write you. You answered his letter in 2011 and gave him good mutual fund advice. Safety is important, so please tell us whether we are making the right investment choice for retirement.

Buying a variable is like getting married, because you don’t know you’ve made a bad decision until you’ve lived with it for a few years. So investing 50 percent in the Treasury bond and 50 percent in the annuity is a reasonable compromise that will enable you to buy branded names such as Peter Pan or Jif and perhaps Ritz crackers.

$30,000 in the variable annuity and $40,000 in the following stocks, which have long histories of regular dividend increases. AT&T needs no introduction and yields 5.3 percent, and neither does Verizon, which yields 4.4 percent. GlaxoSmithKline, a $44 billion drug company, yields 5.7 percent, and Royal Dutch Shell, one of the largest oil and gas companies in our galaxy, yields 5.2 percent. Southern Co., one of our largest electric and gas utilities issues, yields 4.6 percent. Those high-quality issues, which survived the past four serious market declines with aplomb and continued to raise their dividends, should also give you modest long-term principal growth.

Battle over genetically modified foods in Oregon

By JEFF BARNARD The Associated Press ASHLAND, Ore. – Unable to find a good solution to protecting their certified organic seed crops from potential contamination from genetically engineered crops, small organic farmers in this Oregon valley are appealing to a higher power: voters.

They wanted to protect their crops from being cross-pollinated by genetically modified ones, and asked voters in two counties to ban the cultivation of GMOs – a move that would drive producer Syngenta out of the Rogue Valley where it grows seed for sugar beets resistant to the popular weed killer Roundup.

Mail-in ballots will be counted in Jackson and Josephine counties on Tuesday.

The vote is the latest example of a growing resistance to GMOs from Hawaii to Vermont at a time when geneti-

to look into what that might mean in terms of health and the environment,” said Laura Murphy of the Environmental & Natural Resources Law Clinic at Vermont Law School.

Big agribusinesses, spending millions, and GMO opponents have traded victories in recent years.

This month, Vermont’s governor signed a law to make the state the first requiring disclosure of GMO ingredients in food labels, starting in 2016.

A bill to nullify state labeling requirements is pending in the U.S. House.

The Oregon vote is the latest battle over the future of agriculture. It is set in this picturesque 41-mile-long valley near the California border, where Syngenta has operated in near anonymity since 1993, and organic farmers have tapped a growing demand for local produce free of pesticides.

Organic farmers realized they had a problem in 2012, when Chris Hardy tried to lease some land and learned it was right next to a field leased to Syngenta. It soon became clear Syngenta was spread throughout the valley.

Farmers started gathering signatures for a ballot measure banning GMOs, and asked Oregon State University Extension to help create a mapping system so GMO and organic corps would each be free of the other’s pollen.

Kate Schott Editor

OUR VIEW

Send message to lawmakers If you think you pay too much in taxes to the state of Illinois, it’s time for you to do something about it.

If you think the tax-more-andspend-more policy of Gov. Pat Quinn, House Speaker Michael Madigan and the Democrat-controlled General Assembly is ruining Illinois, it’s time for your voice to be heard.

If you’re tired of politicians saying one thing now only to do the exact opposite later, it’s time we all stop putting up with it.

Many Democrats in the state House and Senate want to make permanent a 67-percent income tax increase that was promised to be “temporary” when it was foisted on taxpayers by a lameduck General Assembly in January 2011.

With not a single Republican vote, Quinn and the Democratic Legislature essentially reached into our collective wallets and snatched another week’s pay from all working Illinoisans.

At the time, Democratic lawmakers said the “temporary” increase was needed during a difficult fiscal time to help pay down the state’s growing pile of unpaid bills.

That’s Lie No. 1.

That “temporary” tax increase is expected to raise more than $31 billion in additional revenue, yet the state still has a backlog of more than $7 billion in unpaid bills. Most of that additional money has gone to Illinois’ unsustainable pension funds.

Lie No. 2 is the promise that the income tax increase was only “temporary.”

Quinn’s 2014-2015 fiscal budget calls for the increase to become permanent.

Because the 2011 law contained language that sunsets most of the tax increase on Jan. 1, 2015, lawmakers must vote again to make it permanent.

Democratic Illinois Senate President John Cullerton said he already has the votes in his chamber.

But the vote should be a lot closer in the House, where Democrats hold a 71-seat supermajority. Madigan needs just 60 votes to send the permanent increase on to Quinn.

Children need to learn about self-respect

To the Editor: President Barack Obama often makes the news whenever he takes a “selfie.”

Most people already know that a “selfie” is a picture taken of yourself while you are holding a camera. Many of these “selfies” end up being posted on Facebook, Myspace, or other kinds of social networking websites.

Now there’s a new term being used called the “belfie.” In my naïve ignorance, I heard this word in conversation and asked my much-younger co-worker for the meaning.

Apparently this crazy new trend got started by certain female celebrities who took a self-portrait of their booty and posted it on social media websites.

What has happened to the mindset of people who feel that they have to reveal so much of their private lives and private parts to every other person in the world?

Recently, middle-school students in Batavia were involved in a sexting case that included over two dozen students ages 11 to 14. Boys and girls had been texting each other nude “selfies.” Eventually, the police got involved and the school is now educating the students and their parents about the responsible use of technology.

Just like all children, these students were copying the antics of certain adults – not necessarily their parents – who are admired by these students for various reasons. This is how children learn – they copy the adults’ behavior regardless of the shock value.

I applaud the school for getting involved and taking action to remedy the situation. We also need to teach our children to have a moral compass and to treat themselves and each other with respect.

VIEWS Dick Goss

• Sunday, May 18, 2014 *

An issue for fans of independent baseball is familiarity with the players.

Before you get comfortable watching a certain player do his thing, he is liable to be gone. Hopefully, the reason is he has moved on to an affiliated organization. Unfortunately, it often means he was released or included in a trade.

There is not supposed to be any cheering in the press box, and I made sure to follow that directive during the Joliet Slammers’ 5-4 victory over the Southern Illinois Miners in the Frontier League season opener at Silver Cross Field.

Deep down, however, I was happy to see Slammers manager Jeff Isom call for reliever Chase Doremus when starting pitcher Danny Hernandez’s outing had reached its end.

Then it got extra exciting when Doremeus struck out the one batter he faced to end the top of the sixth inning with Miners on second and third and the score 3-3. Doremus went on to pitch scoreless, hitless innings in the seventh and eighth, and Russell Moldenhauer’s two-run single in the bottom of the eighth made him the opening-night winning pitcher.

Doremus pitched with the Slammers the past two seasons.

He posted earned run averages of 2.76 in 2012, when he struck out 49 in 51 innings, and 2.67 in 2013, when he fanned 76 in 64 innings. He is someone Joliet fans are accustomed to embracing.

The other roster members with experience here in previous seasons are Sunday’s starting pitcher Matt Dillon, second baseman Marquis Riley and third baseman Grant DeBruin.

As one of the tenured Slammers, Doremus offered a postgame perspective on why this team, under first-year manager Jeff Isom, may be the best of the past three. Of course, the past two have not turned out as well as hoped.

“We’ve got a strong team,” Doremus said. “I’m excited

Slammers getting early ‘A’ in chemistry

49

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

The Joliet Slammers wait to take the field before the season opener Friday against the Southern Illinois Miners at Silver Cross Field in Joliet.

“There’s not a lot of veterans-picking-on-rookies stuff here. This team is very unified. Some teams, for whatever reason, do not mesh that well. I think this one will.”

Chase Doremus Joliet Slammers relief pitcher about what our offense and defense can do. If our pitching comes through like we think it can, we can do well together.

“Isom is a great coach, and Russell (Moldenhauer) and all the guys 1 through 9 in the lineup can hit.”

As with everyone in Slammers’ garb, Doremus’ dream is to get a shot in affiliated ball.

Meanwhile, he said he is happy

to work from the comfort of the Slammers’ bullpen.

“This is my third year and I’m glad to be back,” he said.

“I made my pro debut here, so it’s always going to be special to me.”

Doremus said he and the other Slammers’ holdovers were asked a lot of questions by the newcomers in spring training. They were glad to answer.

Call it an early “A” in chemistry class.

“There’s not a lot of veterans-picking-on-rookies stuff here,” Doremus said. “This team is very unified. Some teams, for whatever reason, do not mesh that well. I think this one will.”

Opening night taught us these Slammers have more guys who can create havoc with their leg. In addition, they have a better middle-of-the-lineup presence with Moldenhauer, Adam Giacalone and Riley.

When leadoff man Darian Sandford starts getting on base – he struck out four times and went 0 for 5 on Friday – he will be a devastating base stealer.

The Slammers may have as good an all-around player there is in the league in shortstop Jose Garcia, who is on the suspended list, pending visa documents. He hopes to be able to return for this week’s series at Gateway.

“Jose will be a difference-maker,” Isom said. You just wonder how long the Slammers will have him before an affiliated organization calls.

Max Casper is slick at shortstop. The play he made Friday, getting to a low popup to short center field with two runners on base in the fourth inning, having the ball pop from his glove but having the instinct to start an inning-ending 6-4-5 double play is not one you will see every day.

And how about catcher Tyler Roberts? He picked Southern Illinois’ Tyler Booth off third base on the next pitch after he slugged a triple to open the fifth inning.

The weather was lousy Friday night, which held the crowd down to 2,747. The conditions led to some bad baseball.

The Slammers probably came out ahead that night in terms of breaks. But you know what they say about good teams making their own breaks. We just might have one of those good teams here at Silver Cross Field.

I suggest getting familiar with them as soon as possible, before some of our favorite players start leaving us, for all the right reasons.

JOLIET SLAMMERS 3, SOUTHERN ILLINOIS 2

Joliet walks off with comeback victory

By TIM O’BRIEN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Joliet’s Tre-Von Johnson stepped to the plate with a chance at a game-winner.

He could see the hit, feel the hit.

But with the bases loaded in a tie game Saturday at Silver Cross Field, Johnson didn’t need a hit.

He just needed to reach base.

Going down 0-1 in the count, Johnson fought back to get a 3-1 count.

“First I was trying to be aggressive swinging at a pitch out of the zone,” Johnson said. “Then I realized all the pressure was on the pitcher, and he had to come to me. I was sitting fastball, looking for something I could hit and with a 3-1 pitch, it had to be a perfect pitch. He didn’t throw it.”

Johnson drew a walk and Adam Giacalone trotted home from third base for the game-winning run in Joliet’s 3-2 comeback win over Southern Illinois in front of 1,293 fans.

Glamorous or stylish, it was not. It was just a win.

“Our team, we just have a ton of fight,” Giacalone said. “We can hit up and down the lineup, whoever’s up is capable of getting a hit, an extra-base hit. Our pitching staff kept us in it so we knew we’d be in the game.”

Joliet (2-0) also mounted a comeback in Friday’s 5-4 season-opening win

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

The Joliet Slammers’ Tre-Von Johnson, shown during Friday’s season opener, drew a walk in the ninth inning to bring home the game-winning run Saturday as the Slammers beat Southern Illinois, 3-2, at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. against Southern Illinois (0-2).

“It was nice, but hopefully we can get it going earlier from now on,” Giacalone said with a laugh. “Those games are always fun to play. We’re confident in how we can play, and it’s going to be a good season.”

The comeback win came as a necessity as the Slammers struggled to figure out Southern Illinois starter Miguel

Ramirez who allowed just three hits and two walks with four strikeouts over his 6⅓ shutout innings. “(Ramirez) was outstanding, and we couldn’t figure him out,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “We knew the pitch count would get up there, and we needed to get to their bullpen somehow, some way.”

That’s just what the Slammers did.

Handcuffed by Ramirez through sixplus, Joliet scratched a run across in the bottom of the eight off the Southern Illinois bullpen on a Darian Sandford RBI double that scored C.J. Epperson from second to cut the deficit to 2-1.

Held to just five hits through eight innings, the Slammers finally strung hits together, as Giacalone’s RBI double to right field scoring Marquis Riley from third base in the ninth.

After an intentional walk, a double play coming from for the out and another intentional walk, Johnson stepped to the plate for his not-so-glamorous walkoff win.

“We started working the count more and getting better pitches to hit,” Johnson said. “Get on base, first to third and start to score.”

As for Giacalone’s trot home, he thinks it was a first.

“I don’t think I’ve scored a game-winner on a walk before,” Giacalone said.

“Hey, I’ll take it. A win is a win, and any run that helps us win is good.”

Joliet starter Blair Walters threw a gem on the mound, scattering seven hits and a walk with five strikeouts, giving up two runs, only one of them earned.

Giacalone finished 3 for 4 with a run and an RBI while Sandford also added two hits in the win.

Joliet will conclude the three-game series at 1:05 p.m. Sunday at Silver Cross.

SANDBURG 7, JOLIET WEST 1

With clutch hits lacking, Joliet West falls to Sandburg

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It almost defies logic.

Joliet West leadoff hitter Cody Grosse entered Saturday’s SouthWest Suburban Blue baseball match-up against Sandburg batting .512 and went 2 for 4.

Zack Thomas, No. 2 in coach John Karczewski’s lineup, came in at .507 and also went 2 for 4. Both left-handed hitters have on-base percentages above .600, are fast and are good baserunners.

Yet, Karczewski said the Tigers’ 7-1 loss to Sandburg exemplifies what has gone on all season. If not for some good pitching and defense, West (16-12, 5-7) would not have the record it has.

“We can’t seem to get the big hit,” Karczewski said.

“We hit when the guys are not in scoring position. I would love to be a middle-of-the-road hitter in our lineup, with the way those two (Grosse and Thomas) get on base.

“Grosse has scored 36 runs.

Imagine how many he would have scored had we been hitting.”

Karczewski said West is averaging “three or three and a half” runs a game. “We usually play good defense, but when the pitching is not there, we have virtually no chance to win,” he said.

Matt Ramirez and Griffin McGuire both hit long doubles among West’s seven hits Saturday. However, those were the only hits after the second inning. Five of the hits

came in the first two innings, when the Tigers stranded five runners. The No. 6 through 9 spots in the order went hitless.

“We got three hits in the first inning and had the bases loaded with one out and barely got our one run – on a hit by pitch,” Karczewski said. “We have tried everyone. I think every one of our position players has had at least 20 or 25 atbats. It’s a mental thing.”

The game was tied at 1 when Sandburg (20-7, 10-2) exploded in the top of the fourth inning against junior righthander Jake Suca, who had thrown only three varsity innings previously. The Eagles scored five runs on five hits that inning, which began with a leadoff walk.

“Suca has one of the best

changeups on our staff,” Karczewski said. “We thought we needed that. They have such aggressive hitters. But we walked the leadoff guy at least a couple of times, including that inning. You can’t do that.”

Thomas, the Tigers’ staff ace, threw a four-hitter in blanking Sandburg, 6-0, in mid-week. Two of the hits came in the seventh inning.

“Zack has five wins and three shutouts, with a no-hitter and one-hitter,” Karczewski noted. “When he’s on, he’s almost untouchable.”

After the losing that game to West and a 16-inning marathon to Lockport in the last week, Sandburg had fallen back into a tie for the SWS Blue lead with the Porters.

West’s inability to capitalize

on early opportunities Saturday and Sandburg’s fourth-inning uprising ended the Tigers’ dreams of extending its spoiler role.

West had been scheduled for a nonconference game Saturday at Minooka.

However, that was canceled when the Sandburg game was rained out Friday and rescheduled for Saturday.

The game at Minooka would have been interesting from the standpoint that Minooka is the No. 1 seed and West is No. 2 in next week’s Class 4A Plainfield South Regional.

Of course, as Karczewski pointed out, both the Indians and Tigers will face ace pitchers in the regional semifinals, so a 1-2 match-up in the regional final is no guarantee.

LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL SECTIONAL FINAL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 9, ANDREW 5

East heads to state for first time since ’09

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, May 18, 2014

NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way East’s girls water polo team had a few things working against it heading into Saturday’s Lincoln-Way Central Sectional championship with Andrew.

The Griffins had beaten the Tunderbolts by 7-6 scores in the teams’ two meetings, Andrew was trying to advance to state for the first time in the sport and many on East’s senior-oriented squad had attended prom the previous evening.

But East had a secret weapon going for it that would prove decisive in not only preventing another nail-biter, but more importantly, help it qualify for next weekend’s state finals.

Coach Ryan Lodes’ team used an effective defense to shut down the T-Bolts, who only scored once during a span of over 21 minutes, which extended through all four quarters.

That helped East to take control during the third period and then expand on its lead before settling for a 9-5 victory which earned the program its first state trip since 2009.

“We had to defend them as one team, instead of individual girls defending,” said Lodes, who was tossed into his alma mater’s pool by his team after the presentation of the sectional plaque. “We did a great job controlling the ball against Andrew, which is a tough team. We worked on some small adjustments this week and the girls put in a huge effort. We had prom last night, so we took it upon ourselves to do both. I’m so proud of the girls,” The Griffins, who went 1216 last season, advance to Friday’s 5:45 p.m. quarterfinals at Stevenson in Lincolnshire,

where they meet defending state champion Saint Ignatius College Prep, which beat Evanston 9-3 to win its own sectional.

The T-Bolts (23-6) grabbed a 2-1 lead just 4:41 into the contest but then they struggled to connect much of the rest of the way. Andrew had a difficult time even getting the ball close to the mark with goalie Jill Connolly effectively blocking the net.

East moved in front for good with 1:42 remaining before intermission when Zoe Spada got free and scored to make it a 4-3 game, which is where things stood at break.

Andrew’s shooting woes continued into the final half, where it misfired on its initial 15 attempts and also turned the ball over three times while the Griffins slowly pulled away.

“This is so exciting,”

Connolly said. “After working all four years to come this far just feels amazing.

We’ve all come together this year and we have our spots and we work really well as a team. They had some really great players who we had to watch out for and we adjusted our defense for them, and it worked. At halftime wed knew that we had to step it up if we wanted to continue on so we kind of pulled together and came out with the win.”

The Griffins scored twice in the final minute of the third and again in the opening minute of the fourth to establish control in the game.

Haley McCabe, who scored twice in the first period, tossed in a long try, which was stopped but Aimee Schaaf was there for the short rebound. Then Lauren VanderVelde just found the net before the final break and

a bit later put in a deflected effort to make it a 7-3 game.

A score by Erica Mangia with 2:41 ended the drama before the T-Bolts connected twice in the final 2:34 with VanderVelde picking up her fourth goal in between those scores.

All of Andrew’s goals were provided by two players.

Genny McCarthy finished with three scores while Caily Friel added the other two goals.

“We prepared a lot for this game and knew that we had to keep our game up and just keep pressing hard and going strong no matter what the score was,” VanderVelde said. “It felt really good to get some goals to help the team out. This was a very eventful weekend for us. Going to state is an awesome feeling because we all worked so hard for this.”

Lemont received titles from Vika Marmaite in both the long jump (17-1.5) and the triple jump (37-9.5) while Jacque Desmond claimed top honors in the pole vault (10-6).

“To win three sectional championships at this sectional is phenomenal,” Indians coach Tim Plotke said.

“You could really tell that all of Jacque’s offseason work in the pole vault has paid off.

She went over 11-0 last week and that was a big boost to her confidence. And we got lucky having Vika move from Lithuania. It’s kind of once in a lifetime that you get an athlete with that kind of ability. Both of them are hard workers who want to be successful.”

DOWNERS GROVE – Bolingbrook’s Jessica Watkins has bigger aspirations this season after claiming ninth-place medals in the 100 and 200 at last year’s state meet.

At Friday’s Class 3A Downers Grove South Sectional, the Raiders’ junior built momentum to do just that after earning trips to the finals in Charleston after winning titles in the 100 (12.52) and 200 (25.55) and as part of the 4x100 relay (49.69).

“I’m just thankful that I’m going back to state and have a chance to redeem myself,” Watkins said. “I want to PR there and make the top five in all three events. I feel most confident in the 100 but I’m pushing in the 200 and the 4x1 and doing whatever I can in practice. There will be a lot of great competition and good times so I feel good about state.”

Joining her at Eastern Illinois University will be teammate Charlyncia Stennis, who won the 400 (58.66) and also ran on the winning relay along with Asha Wallace and Claire Young.

“The relay really helped me to warm up for the 400,” Stennis said. “I prefer to run in warm weather, but I don’t care

what it’s like since I know that I’ll do good. The 400 was close, but I wasn’t worried since I knew that I would get first. I hope to PR again next week at state and finish in the top three there and I think that the 4x100 will also do really good.”

Lockport took third with 59.33 points, Bolingbrook was fifth with 56.33 points and Lemont (38) and Romeoville (19) also participated. The hosts edged Hinsdale Central, 67-65, for the team title.

The Porters qualified six individuals in four events with Lane Kadlec leading the way with a sectional title in the shot put (40-0.5) and a third-place effort in the discus (118-3).

Morgan Bollinger advanced after placing fifth in the 1600 (5:13.6) and she also joined a second-place 4x800 relay (9:22.27) which included Haley Beaumont, Aubrey Elwood and Emmie Hahn. Pam Miglans used a late toss to finish second to Kadlec in the shot (37-7).

“Pam and I set a goal that we were both going downstate and we did what we needed to do and it ended on a great note and both of us made it,” said Kadlec, who also was fourth in the long jump. “I felt really good this week since I mostly practiced technique. With both of us there, it keeps me from being so nervous and hopefully

JOLIET JUNIOR COLLEGE BASEBALL

Waubonsee ousts JJC in Region IV tourney STAFF REPORTS SCHAUMBURG – The NJCAA Division III World Series at Tyler, Texas, will go on without Joliet Junior College baseball.

The Wolves attempted to rebound Saturday from Friday’s 14-inning loss to Waubonsee on Saturday at Boomers Stadium, but to no avail as the Chiefs pulled off the two-game sweep.

After JJC, the No. 1 seed in the Region IV tournament, grabbed a 3-2 lead in the top of the fourth inning, Waubonsee came right back, scoring two in

the fourth and two in the fifth en route to a 7-3 victory and a berth in the World Series.

Josh Wojnarowski (Joliet Central) started for the Wolves (39-19) and lasted 4⅓ innings. He allowed six hits Thomas and six runs, Goodyear five earned.

Thomas Goodyear (Romeoville) worked the final 3⅔ innings, allowing two hits and one run.

Nick Fleischauer (Minooka) continued the hot hitting in the

best-of-three that he began in last weekend’s three-team sectional tourney at JJC. He went 3-for-3 and tied the game with a two-run double in the fourth.

A sacrifice fly from Ron Sessler (Lockport), who also had a single, put JJC on top 3-2, ever so briefly.

Tyler Thorson (Minooka) also had three hits, including two doubles.

JJC had beaten No. 3 seed Waubonsee (37-23) twice during the regular season but got into Saturday’s do-or-die situation when the Chiefs scored twice in the 14th inning Friday night to

win, 3-1.

The outcome spoiled the splendid effort of Wolves starting pitcher Kevin Ruff (Minooka). Matt DeGraw (Lockport) allowed two runs in the 14th and suffered the loss.

JJC got on the board first when Alex Bebar (Minooka) doubled home a run in the bottom of the second inning.

However, the Wolves managed only eight hits for the game, including two doubles by Ben Kirchler and two singles by Fleischauer (Minooka).

Ruff allowed the tying run in the fifth. It was unearned

thanks to his errant throw on a pickoff attempt that moved a runner into scoring position before a single drove him in. He went 12 innings and allowed six hits and one walk while striking out five.

McGraw worked the final two innings. Waubonsee got consecutive run-scoring singles after two were out in the 14th.

JJC had planned to start Josh Jiminez (Minooka) Sunday in Game 3, had the series been tied 1-1. He was ejected from a game last weekend and was not eligible to return until Sunday.

AREA ROUNDUP

Local badminton players perform well at state meet STAFF REPORTS CHARLESTON – Two doubles teams and a singles player from the area advanced to Saturday’s competition at the IHSA badminton finals at Eastern Illinois University.

Lockport’s Lauren Hueckstaedt and Jen Inczauskis split their first two matches before winning their next three to close out Friday play.

Lincoln-Way Central’s doubles squad of Maria Brown and Margaret Kolyvas and singles player Jana Mudrock both won their first two and split the next two to advance to Saturday.

On the second day of the competition, Mudrock won before losing a close match while the two doubles squads both suffered tough decisions.

Lockport’s Jessica Miller went 3-2 in singles while Araceli Lozano and Marisol Onate did the same thing in doubles. The Porters also received a 2-2 effort from Haley Egelhof. Lincoln-Way West’s Cassie Ruettiger split her four matches in the competition.

Central (49) and host Romeoville (39) were next in line.

Peter Andreano won titles in both the high jump (6-3) and long jump (21-3) while Brock Whalen took first in the shot put (51-4). The Indians also won the 4x100 relay (42.3) with Mitch Miller, Victor Turpin, Chris Hopkins and Chris Wilson. Meanwhile, the Bengals received their only title from Shederick Williams in the 100 (10.85).

Claiming titles for South were Dan Lathrop, who set a new meet record in the 3,200 (9:20.1) and also won the 1,600 (4:23.68), Misael Tobias in the 800 (1:57.66) and its 4x800 relay squad (8:01.37). North’s champions were Annile Williams in the 110 hurdles (15.04) and its 4x200 relay team (1:29.86).

Central got championships from Luke Winder, who established a new meet record in the pole vault (16-0) and from Kahmari Montgomery, who won both the 400 (48.76) and 200 (21.67). Romeoville’s winners were Curshaun Pruitt in the triple jump (46-7.75) and Kelvin Jones in the discus (162).

PREAKNESS STAKES

California Chrome wins again The ASSOCIATED PRESS BALTIMORE – California Chrome repelled one challenger and then put away another in the stretch to win the Preakness on Saturday, setting up a Triple Crown try in three weeks.

The chestnut colt with the four white feet will attempt to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes, something that hasn’t been done since Affirmed in 1978. Since then, 12 horses have won the first two legs and failed to complete the sweep; the last was I’ll Have Another two years ago.

Maybe the horse with the

modest pedigree and average Joe owners is the one.

California Chrome defeated Ride On Curlin by 1½ lengths at Pimlico, covering 13/16 miles in 1:54.84. He’s now won six straight races by a combined 27½ lengths for 77-year-old trainer Art Sherman.

“It’s quite a thrill,” Sherman said. “I knew we had to run harder this race.”

California Chrome bounced out of the gate running, with jockey Victor Espinoza moving the colt into the clear. Pablo Del Monte, a 34-1 shot, charged to the lead and was soon joined by filly Ria Antonia.

‘The world suddenly seemed so much bigger’ JTHS super student accepted to four major universities, chose Stanford over Yale About Paramo

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet West High School senior Alex Paramo was walking out of work when his cellphone rang.

Paramo saw the Connecticut phone number and thought, “Wow, I messed up my application to Yale,” and took the call.

Paramo was wrong.

It was an unofficial acceptance to the university and an invitation to attend its Engineering and Science weekend April 21 to 23, which Paramo did. When that event was over, Paramo flew to Stanford University in California to tour that campus from April 24 to 27, as he also had been accepted there.

“All of a sudden, people were taking notice of what I had done,” Paramo said. “The world suddenly seemed so much bigger than it had before.”

That trip convinced Paramo – also accepted at the University of Chicago and the University of Illinois – that the “off the charts” entrepreneur spirit at Stanford was appealing to him, a boy who had grown up with parents who spoke little English, picked up the language from daycare and now plans to study bioengineering.

“I like being able to go indepth into subjects,” Paramo said. “I’d like to have the freedom to research topics that interest me. I felt that if I went to Yale, I could become a well-learned person and observe all this knowledge, but I saw Stanford as a place that would push my limits.”

Calling Paramo an “intrinsically motivated, incredibly poised and articulate young man,” Joliet West Principal Teresa Gibson said she met Paramo during his sophomore year and thought, “Gosh, this kid is awfully mature.”

Over the next few years,

Using rye grass and radishes, Alex Paramo, a Joliet West High School senior, tests nitrite and total nitrate levels of fertilizer run-off. Paramo, who plans to study bioengineering at Stanford University, is concerned about the possible human health effects that result from dangerous nitrate levels in groundwater.

Paramo proved her right. He enthusiastically seized every opportunity Joliet West High School offered to him and excelled in every one of them.

“He knows which direction he wants to go,” Gibson said, “and the steps it takes to get there.”

Paramo began his formal schooling at Forest Park Individual Education School in Joliet, where he soaked up the school’s motto of “responsibility, respectfulness, resourcefulness and responsiveness.” Paramo feels the opportunity to work at his pace contributed to his academic success.

“If I wanted to get ahead, I could get ahead. If I needed to fall back, I had the time to fall back and then catch up,” Paramo said. “Some classes, like math and science, were easier, so I was always ahead, but I was never amazing at English.”

By fifth grade, Paramo, who didn’t enjoy baseball, was playing soccer through

the Joliet Park District.

From Forest Park, Paramo entered Hufford Junior High School’s individual education program, continued to play soccer and even volunteered with a church food drive once a month.

“I had nothing else to do,” Paramo said, “except play video games.”

But if felt good to help out, to do something worthwhile, he said. So as Paramo prepared to enter Joliet West, he made himself a promise: He would not waste time. Paramo put down the controller, and he kept that promise.

When Paramo saw a flier for the math club, he signed up. And when he learned about the Leo Club, a service club, he joined. He created – and delivered – Power Point presentation about the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Academy, of which Paramo is a member.

When Paramo, at Joliet West High School, was asked

to serve as the student representative for the Joliet Township High School strategic planning committee, Paramo accepted. He then joined its action team and devised a mentoring plan for incoming advanced placement students. He learned, to his surprise, that his opinion held the same weight as the committee’s adult members.

“That was new to me,” Paramo said. “It was a real eye-opener.”

For eight weeks last summer, Paramo commuted two hours one way to participate in the University of Chicago Young Scientist Training Program and work on a plant composition project.

This spring, with National Honor Society co-president Franchesca Alejo of Plainfield, Paramo helped organize the second Tiny Tigers Fun Fair, which raised money for local, severely ill children.

He audited a justice class from Harvard University. He played on the tennis team. He

• Co-president of the National Honor Society • President of Leo Club • Secretary for the science team • Competed as an oralist presenter for the math team, where he placed first in a conference math meet.

• Played both varsity soccer and tennis • Served as the student representative for the Joliet Township High School strategic planning committee • Member of the Business Management and Informational Systems/ STEM Leadership Council • Participated in the Young Scientist Training Program at the University of Chicago • Attended the Yale University Engineering and Science Weekend • Has taken 14 advanced placement and dual credit courses • Current GPA is 4.53 • Has been awarded 2nd Team Chicago Fire All-State All-Academic • Is an Illinois Scholar • Is an AP Scholar with distinction • Was offered full-tuition scholarships to the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, Yale University and Stanford University.

played on the soccer team.

That’s how freshman English teacher and part-time soccer coach Anthony Romanelli met Paramo. He was a good role model on and off the field, Romanelli said, and that “kids really vibed with him.”

“He’s really positive and extremely helpful,” Romanelli said. “Honestly, he’s about as good as they get.”

What does Paramo do for fun? He works out at a gym and reads: Ayn Rand, Malcolm Gladwell and biology-related research.

“I like to go on Reddit,” Paramo said, “and read all the science posts.”

LOCAL BRIEFS Student receives volunteer service award

She earned the Bronze Level designation for her 150 hours of volunteerism.

The award applauds and honors Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.

While participating in the His-

tory Internship Program at Lewis University over the spring and summer, Gonzales gave tours for school and summer camp groups, as well as senior citizens and young families, explaining the history that resides within the outdoor museum that is Naper Settlement.

A slam double asks for an unusual lead

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Thomas J. Watson, a former head of IBM, said, “Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really.

Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure – or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember, that’s where you will find success.”

You will have trouble finding bridge partners if you make a lot of mistakes. But if you learn from them and turn your rate of failure nearly to zero, you will become very popular.

In today’s deal, though, “double” is the key word. East opens four hearts, showing a good eight-card suit and limited high-card power. Then, when his opponents cruise into six spades, he doubles. What message does that transmit to West? What should West lead?

Doubling a slam because you think that it’s going down is mathematically inadvisable.

When the opponents are nonvulnerable, you turn plus 50 into plus 100. But if the slam makes, you have changed minus 980 into minus 1210.

So, many years ago, Theodore Lightner had the idea of using the double as lead-directing. It says that East has a void somewhere and hopes his partner can find it with his opening lead.

In this deal, West clearly expects his partner to have a diamond void. Therefore, he should lead his diamond ace.

Then, though, when everyone follows suit, West should rethink. East’s void must be in clubs. West should shift to that suit at trick two, here defeating the contract.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ing lady. She’s beautiful, sexy, charming, attentive, classy, smart and conservative. In short, she is almost everything a good man would ask for in a woman except for one thing – she’s a tad clingy, and in some instances, it is annoying.

I’m the type of guy who loves my space. She seems to respect it, but gets a little down when I decline an offer to spend time. Don’t get me wrong, I’m physically and mentally attracted to her, but I’m not sure about the emotional part.

The more I feel I’m forcing myself to spend time with her, the more I lose interest.

Am I just not ready to settle down? – Likes My Space Dear Likes: That’s what it sounds like to me. And that’s what you should tell the lady, because someone with all the

wonderful qualities you attribute to her won’t be alone and heartbroken for long. In fact, if she knew that you feel you must “force” yourself to be with her, your relationship would already be history.

Dear Abby: In June of last year I fractured my kneecap. I was employed at the time and asked my daughter to fill in for me while I recuperated. Not only did she walk away from the job, she has yet to visit or even call me to see how I am doing. I can’t imagine anyone being so cold and distant.

How can I get past this hurt and disappointment? – Still Hurting In Palm Desert Dear Still Hurting: I can’t imagine anyone being so cold and distant – not to mention irresponsible – unless there were unresolved issues between the two of you before you hurt your knee, or your daughter has emotional problems.

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Simple steps can dispel negative thoughts Dear Doctor K: I’m a “glass half-empty” type of person. I know that way of thinking adds to my stress and unhappiness. Is it possible to change the way I see things?

Dear Reader: Yes, there is.

Through a type of “talk therapy” called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), you can learn to reframe negative thoughts. That, in turn, can help change how you feel.

CBT can help you challenge overly simplistic, irrational, negative thoughts. It’s easiest when the thoughts are patently untrue: “I never do anything right,” for example.

It’s harder when there’s an element of truth mixed in: “At my age, I’ll never reach my goals.” If your dream was to be a famous opera singer, that statement may apply. Most likely, though, there are other goals you did reach.

And other goals you can still reach.

I’ll describe a four-step process taught at the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital.

It’s one way to counteract distortions and negative thoughts: STOP. Call a mental time-out when you feel stressed.

BREATHE. Take a few deep

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff breaths and step back from whatever is causing you stress before you react.

REFLECT. Ask yourself if this is this thought or belief true?

Did I jump to a conclusion? What evidence do I actually have? Is there another way to view the situation? What’s the worst that could happen?

CHOOSE. Decide how to deal with the source of your stress.

For example: • Problem-solve what you can control. Gather information, make a plan and take action.

• Accept what you cannot change.

• Challenge distorted, irrational thinking. Ask yourself: How else can I think about this?

What else can I do to cope more effectively?

Here’s an example of how it might work. If you get stuck in traffic on the way to work, try to relax and take a few deep breaths.

Reflect: “It’s just a traffic jam. I can handle this. It’s not worth getting this upset.” Don’t assume you’ll be fired. Tell yourself, “I’ll

just be a few minutes late. I’m doing the best I can. I can handle this.”

Yes, I know this sounds simplistic and obvious. And I was skeptical, too, when I first heard about cognitive behavioral therapy. But I’ve seen enough examples of success that I’ve become a believer.

I’ve also come to believe that there are many goals that we all tend to set aside, thinking they no longer are practical or achievable. Sometimes that’s right; sometimes the skills required are easy to learn in childhood and hard later on. Sometimes attaining the skills requires more time and practice than is feasible.

But when it comes to changing personal qualities – such as impatience, or lack of self-confidence – I’m more optimistic. I think we all are more capable of change, even later in life, than we might imagine.

The phrase that says it best for me is this: “It’s never too late to become the person you might have been.”

Dr. Wallace: Whenever we’re alone, my boyfriend tells me that he loves me and that I’m the only girl he has ever loved. Then when we are out with his friends, Juan treats me like dirt.

He says nasty things about me and makes me feel bad. There are some moments when he is sweet, and I like him then. But I don’t know what to do because I’m not really beautiful and it’s not easy for me to get boyfriends. What should I do? – Rosa, Nogales, Ariz.

Dear Rosa: Don’t allow yourself to be subjected to this totally unacceptable behavior. Tell Juan that you no longer want to be treated with disrespect and that you will not be seeing him any more, and mean what you say. Rosa, you are suffering from a bad case of “lack of self-image.” You also need a boost in self-esteem. Start by thinking that you are beautiful, because you are. Beauty radiates from within.

Change your hairstyle, try some new makeup, and smile into the mirror and see how pretty you are. Smile at everyone you meet and make some new friends.

It may take a little time, but when the new you begins to shine, watch out world!

Dr. Wallace: I’m 17 and live with my divorced mother and her boyfriend, who has been living in our house for the past six months. My dad has remarried and is living about 50 miles away, but I haven’t seen him in a year.

My huge problem is that my mother’s boyfriend has made sexual remarks about my shape. I have told my mother that I didn’t appreciate this guy’s comments, but she told me that her boyfriend

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace wasn’t serious; he was just joking.

Last week he came home from work early because he told his boss that he had an upset stomach. My mother was at work and this guy came into my room and tried to kiss me and his hands were all over me. That night I told my mother what happened in front of the boyfriend and he denied it and told my mom that I didn’t like him and that I was trying to get my mother to get rid of him.

My mother said that she didn’t know whom to believe. I’ve called my dad and he said that he wanted me to move in with him and his new wife. I would like that except that I would have to change high schools and I wouldn’t like that because I really don’t want to leave my friends and I’m on the girls’ softball team.

My best friend said that she talked to her parents about my problem and that I would be welcome to live with them. What should I do?

My mother said I could move out if I wanted to.

– Nameless, San Diego, Calif.

Dear Nameless: Take the offer to move in with your best friend and her family – immediately! That will give you time to decide if you want to move in with your father and his wife when school is out. Also, your mother might come to her senses and send this jerk packing, which will allow you to return home with her.

Dear Abby: I was invited to my first prom yesterday. The boy is a senior and the son of a friend of my mom’s.

We have a lot in common. We have been friends for years and compete against each other in academics. The problem is, he asked a close friend of mine to go to the prom last week, and he did it right in front of me.

My friends, including the girl who said no, keep telling me he really does like me, even though I was apparently his second choice.

The trouble is, I already said yes and I don’t want to go back on my word. How do I keep myself from feeling like a consolation prize? – Second Best Dear S.B.: The boy who asked you to the prom wants to have a good time. As you said, you are friendly and have a lot in common. Please don’t let the fact that he asked your friend first get in your way. It’s not a contest for anyone’s affection; it’s only a dance.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You will find fulfillment this year. New romantic and professional opportunities will make for exciting times. Your approachable nature and creative talents will be greatly appreciated. Take an active part in building your dreams, hopes and wishes. Live, love and laugh.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Tension is brewing. Be gentle and understanding when dealing with others. It will take all the patience you can muster to avoid a disagreement that would end in regret.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Throwing money around will not impress anyone. Honesty and integrity are much more attractive features.

A new acquaintance has the potential to turn into a business or personal partner.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Increased socializing will lead to profits. Your peers will want to join forces with you. Display your skills and broadcast the contribution you are willing to make.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Let your carefree temperament lead you to fun. You and the people you most enjoy spending time with will be in sync, enabling you to engage in shared activities that will bring you closer together.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Be cautious in romantic situations. Don’t rush love or expect too much from others. Bide your time and be observant. You’ll gain valuable knowledge if you wait and watch.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Reclaim your independence today. Get out and involve yourself in social or recreational clubs. You don’t need to convince someone else to join you. It’s time to make new friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Burn off excess energy. It isn’t necessary to join a gym. You can exercise at home, getting the same results and saving money to put toward an evening of entertainment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t squander your money on a risky venture.

Gambling will deplete your budget and anger someone you love. “Frugal and fit” should be your mantra.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Resist the urge to tell others how to run their lives. You are not infallible. Unless you are asked for your opinion, keep your thoughts to yourself. Work on self-improvement instead.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Be prudent when making monetary contributions. Find out ahead of time how the money in question would be used. You could find yourself in trouble with the authorities if you don’t follow the rules.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t be afraid of overtime if it will help you complete unfinished business. Get back to a solid health regimen. Take a pass if a proposal or joint venture makes you feel uncomfortable.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – A real estate prospect will appeal to you. It may not be a convenient time to make a move, but keep your eye on things and your options open.

Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore get together on screen again in ‘Blended’

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now It seems to be the way of Hollywood. Every eight years or so, we get a romantic comedy starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore as a couple facing inordinate challenges, but somehow managing to make things work out in the end.

In “The Wedding Singer” (1998), they were both engaged to other people before seeing the light, and each other. In “50 First Dates” (2004), they fell for each other, but a medical condition caused her to forget who he was every day, until a solution was worked out. In their new film, “Blended,” they play single parents who meet on a blind date, realize that they’re complete opposites, and intend to keep it that way; then coincidentally end up – kids in tow – on the same African adventure vacation.

So, what do you think? Will they manage to make things work out in the end? Sandler and Barrymore recently got together to talk about their onscreen and real-life relationships.

Ed Symkus: You two have developed great screen chemistry. Any idea how that works?

Drew Barrymore: I would sum it up as

having to do with respect. I’ve always respected Adam. I love him. He makes us laugh in the world. Aside from what we do together, I was so in love with the things he did from “Saturday Night Live” and “Happy Gilmore” and “Billy Madison.” He has such a gift.

But then when it comes down to that one-on-one, where it’s just the two of us alone on a playing field, doing our thing, it’s like total respect, giddy respect.

Adam Sandler: I’ve known Drew for a long time, and I love her. In all three movies we have the pleasure of falling in love. In the first two I faked it, but on this one I really did. [He turns to Barrymore.] Would you marry me?

Symkus: Do you stay in touch between films?

Sandler: We both have families, but we’ve always stayed in touch. We’ve

More Content Now photo

Drew Barrymore (left) and Adam Sandler star in the film “Blended.” always been good friends, and check in on each other as much as possible.

No matter what’s going on, I’m always pulling for Drew, and I feel the same about her; whenever I’m doing something, I know that she’s pulling for me. We have a nice friendship.

Barrymore: And then every eight years I call you up and say we need to meet for lunch, and it’s time.

Sandler: It’s time to do a movie. [My producer] Mike Karz found a good script for us and we signed up.

Symkus: You’re both parents. Did that help you connect with the characters in “Blended?”

Barrymore: What really got me when

I was reading the script and now when I watch the movie is I want funny because I need to laugh, but I also need heart and I need emotion. I want to laugh and I want to cry. Laughter and crying are like twins. And when these two people quietly talk about how they just want to be good parents, and what will make their kids happy and how are they going to function in this world, that just gets me. It made me cry in the script and it makes me cry in the movie.

Sandler: Being a parent, you’ve gotta

know if your kid is upset. When your kid is upset, it just rattles you; it’ll rock you until you know that the kid is not upset. But even when they’re not upset, you’re always nervous about it. You just want your kid to be happy.

Now I understand why my folks were always saying be nice to your sister, and make sure everybody in the family is OK. It’s like they’re protecting you by saying that the world’s gonna throw stuff at you that can hurt you. Just make sure your family’s got your back. Now I get that a little more.

Barrymore [to Sandler]: You’re a good, patient, loving, awesome parent, much like your character in the movie.

Sandler: You are, too. You’re all about your kids.

So with these three movies under your collective belts, are you already thinking of doing another one or two down the road?

Sandler: Yeah, I could see doing an

“On Golden Pond” kind of movie with her, but maybe with a few more jokes in there.
