MORRIS – Operators at the Dresden Generating Station nuclear power plant in Morris continually reassess and update the plant, visitors at Saturday morning’s open house were told, even as recently as last year when upgrades were made to the plant following the 2011 Fukushima, Japan, nuclear disaster.

One of Dresden’s shift managers was even sent to Fukushima, according to Dresden operator-in-training Scott Nagel, to study the plant and analyze information that could help engineers prevent similar issues at other nuclear plants.

The “FLEX” strategy was implemented after Fukushima, Dresden operator Mike Condreay told visitors in the plant’s simulator room. FLEX is an additional back-up system that would be used during a 1,000-year flood.

That’s just one of the redundant systems Dresden employs for emergency situations, visitors were told.

Dresden worker Mashelle Pavey fits protective clothing on 3-year-old Alivia Osburn of Plainfield.

“Dresden is designed to protect itself,” Condreay said. “We have back-ups that protect back-ups that protect back-ups.”

Gibson Waldvogel, a 9-yearold Saint Rose Grade School student who attended the open house with his little brother and father, Cal, said he wasn’t scared of living two miles from the nuclear plant.

“The best part was learning about the fuel rods,” Gibson said after his tour of the simulation room. “I think it’s really

cool.”

Jim and Jackie Holm, of Gardner, attended the open house out of curiosity and to get information on the safety of living nearby.

“I saw things I didn’t know, like how there is radiation in things we use every day,” Jackie said. “People don’t understand [radiation is] already here. ... People get scared because it’s such a large scale, but there are a lot of people watching over it.”

Volunteers also can help the Patriot Guard with traffic control on Memorial Day. If interested, they should contact the cemetery staff, Phelan said.

Last year about 500 volunteers helped set up the flags, she said.

The Memorial Day ceremony will begin at 11:30 a.m. May 26. She said the Joliet American Legion Band will play at the ceremony.

A table showed radiation dosage people receive in dayto-day activities, such as from smoke detectors, chest and dental X-rays, airline flights, working at a nuclear power plant and from cardiac catheterization procedures.

Dresden communications manager Bob Osgood said Exelon held the open house to answer questions from the public and to help them understand what nuclear energy is about.

“People have a lot of misconceptions about nuclear energy,” Osgood said, “and there has been heightened interest since the events in Japan.”

Dresden Generating Station has two operating nuclear power units that together supplied 15,412 mwh of electricity in 2013, which served approximately 1.5 million homes.

Local mechanic to appear on reality show about cars

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It took more than 10 takes for Joliet-area mechanic Joe Zolper to perfect a half-minute clip for an upcoming reality TV show on Velocity, Discovery’s auto channel.

About 15 people working on the show huddled behind the camera Wednesday in the garage of a Joliet resident as Zolper gave future viewers a tip on how to save big on interior insulation for a car.

“It doesn’t usually take this long. I really needed to eat something,” said Zolper, who others on set describe as quick-witted and sociable.

“The candy bar helped.”

Zolper, the owner of Prison City Choppers auto and bike shop in unincorporated Kendall County, is the head mechanic for the show “Garage Squad,” which is scheduled to premiere Aug. 1 on Velocity.

“We help those who send in submissions wanting to fix or restore their cars,” said Ted Lega, “Garage Squad” director. “These people sometimes want to renew their interest or they have run out of money.”

The show has deep ties to Joliet: The crew has filmed several times in the city already, along with other locations in the Chicago area.

“But Joliet is the big car town,” Lega said. “That’s where I got my love of cars.”

Lega grew up in Joliet and follows a legacy of giving back to the public. His father, who has the same name, is a staple of music in Joliet, and his mother, Marsha Lega, is a local artist with several works on display in the city.

Lega said the show received more requests from Joliet residents than any other area.

Lega moved to Chicago after graduating college and got his start in the film industry as a founder and executive producer for Eightball Films,

After gaining recognition in the industry, Lega said Velocity came to him and his partners to create the show.

“TV is more like a free-forall,” Lega said. “With reality type programming there are so many unknowns.”

One of those unknowns was a diamond-in-the-rough find for Lega while he was directing the pilot episode of the series.

Star Wars Day returns June 7 to Joliet Wookiees and Stormtroopers to appear in downtown for 5th year

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – A few weeks from now in a downtown not too far away, a vast army of Imperial Stormtroopers, Wookiees, Sith Lords, R2-D2s, Skywalkers and Yodas will take to the streets.

Revolution? Not exactly, unless you consider one of the largest gatherings of costumed nerds in the country a civil threat.

It’s all part of Joliet Public Library’s Star Wars Day, its fifth annual celebration of all things Jedi, to be held from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 7.

Last year, the event drew 95 costumed members of the 501st Legion and Rebel Legion fan-based organizations, plus 4,800 fans, many themselves in costumes, said Jody McQuarters, a Plainfield member of both legions.

“This is pretty much one of the largest conventions outside of George Lucas’ Star Wars Celebrations,” said McQuarters. “For a simple library event, when you have 95 guys come from five different states, that’s pretty

impressive.”

The event has grown each year, starting with 12 Stormtroopers and 1,600 fans in 2010, to 20 re-enactors and 1,800 fans in 2011, and 40 re-enactors and 3,800 fans in 2013, McQuarters said.

He expects a good turnout this year, as well.

“I’ve got people knocking on the door every day, saying ‘I’m coming, I’m coming,’ ” McQuarters said.

Why all of the interest?

Always popular, the 37-year-old franchise is undergoing a revival, thanks to TV shows like “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” on Cartoon Network, a new movie slated for December 2015 and LEGO’s Star Wars-themed play sets, said Roger Burns, youth services librarian at the Joliet Public Library.

“With all due respect, we are in the ‘Golden Age of the Geek and the Nerd,’ which explains the cross-generational appeal of these type of events,” Burns said.

Children are a major focus of the event, with games, contests, a scavenger hunt and plenty of heroes, villains

Star Wars Day events Events at the Joliet Area Historical Museum, 204 N. Ottawa St., include: Lightsaber duel reenactments by costumed professional swordsmen R2D2 robot demonstrations by the Droid Builders Children’s activities, including Jedi Light Saber Training and a Star Wars Action Figure Scavenger Hunt A presentation from the documentary “The Force Among Us” by filmmaker Chris Macht Costume and Lego displays A 6-foot tall Rancor monster head exhibit Star Wars-costumed characters from the 501st Legion and Rebel Legion Events at the Joliet Public Library, 150 N. Ottawa St., include: Themed games and prizes LegoLand Star Wars exhibits and activity tables il Troubadore Klingon Music Project Displays by illustrators Dave Dorman, Steve Palenica, Mike Babinski and Jim Haase, and costumer Tara Schile. Proceeds from a prize drawing of Babinski’s work will support Big Brothers Big Sisters.

Imperial Stormtroopers greet fans at the Joliet Public Library’s 2013 Star Wars Day. and monsters playing a major part.

Many come dressed for the occasion. A children’s costume contest will award original Star Wars illustrations by artist Steve Palenica to the top three winners, Burns said.

“Some of the kids’ costumes are really elaborate, like R2-D2s or X-wing pilots,” Burns said. “It’s really cool when the kids are dressed up.”

At the same time, the event also draws in older fans.

“The funny thing is that it appeals to everyone,” Burns said. “Older fans come to look at displays and vendors. The great thing about this event is that it strikes all ages.”

The day kicks off with a parade, led by the Joliet American Legion Band, from the Joliet Area Historical Museum to the library, along Ottawa Street, left on Clinton Street to Chicago Street.

Part of Ottawa Street will be closed to traffic during the celebration. Parking will be available in the Ottawa Street parking deck.

Both venues will offer Star

Wars exhibits and programs, including lightsaber duels, robot races, films, games, music and artwork. The museum will offer free admission.

Giant Wookiee footprints will be painted on the sidewalks to direct guests from the library to the museum.

This is the second year the museum has been involved with the event. Last year, it pulled fans in as effectively as the Death Star’s tractor beam.

“We had 3,300 people come through in six hours,” said

Mike Brick, the museum’s development director. “It was a nice flow. It never gets too crowded because there are so many things going on.”

Other downtown businesses will be involved, as well. Joliet Route 66 Diner, 22 W. Clinton St., will offer a special Star Wars menu.

The event is sponsored

by D’Arcy Buick GMC, the Downtown Joliet City Center Partnership, the Friends of the Joliet Public Library and the Heritage Corridor Convention & Visitors Bureau.

Minooka high school Want a district approves safety net? final financial plan We’re ready

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – The Minooka Community High School District 111 board approved a plan last week to cut expenses and increase revenue.

No teacher or staff positions were cut in the final plan approved Thursday, although a full-time staff member will not replace current full-time athletic trainer Bob Flynn when he retires this month. Rather, Flynn will return as a part-time athletic trainer, and the district will rely more heavily on an outside firm, ATI, to work with student athletes.

Superintendent Jim Colyott said this move will increase the total hours students will spend with trainers, while saving the district about $40,000 a year.

The entire plan is estimated to save the district $542,545 in the upcoming fiscal year, with $334,545 of expenditure reductions and $208,000 in revenue increases.

A few of the spending reductions had already been approved and put in place, such as saving $75,000 a year by hiring new bus drivers to reduce overtime costs, and saving $12,000 by ensuring qualified insurance claims are paid.

Raising student registration fees by $10 a student, which was recently approved, will add another $22,000 to the coffer. Increasing student parking fees by $5 will add another $3,000.

New to the plan is the creation of a student activity and athletic fee of $30 for every student. The charge is the same whether a student participates in no activities or sports, or if

they are in several.

Finance Committee Chairwoman Karen Buchanan said the school board had considered the fees for several years.

Most other high school districts have them, she said, as well as many junior high schools.

“This is a small step toward student funding of activities and sports,” Buchanan said after the meeting. “We have had many conversations about this.”

The board considered paying fees per sport and activity, but this flat fee, she said, would impact students and their families the least and may even encourage them to participate in more clubs and sports than if the fees were per activity.

Colyott said the total costs for the district’s activities and sports is about $700,000. The new fees will take an estimated $66,000 off that cost.

Also included in the plan is a measure to close down most of the South Campus during the summer, which is estimated to save $22,500. The superintendent’s office and a building section used for athletic camps will remain open.

The school district will also reduce costs for academic field trips, cut stuffing for weekend detentions and spend less on supplies.

During the public comments portion of the meeting, government teacher and union president Dennis Grosskopf mentioned a referendum may be necessary to keep programs and staff at current levels. If property taxes continue to decline, he said, there will need to be some extra income to the district.

Lemont approves water main, sidewalk projects

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Village Board approved four bids during its meeting last week for construction projects totaling $797,240.

Three of the projects replace water mains, and the fourth replaces a sidewalk.

A two-phase Warner Avenue water main replacement project is expected to start this week, according to public works director Ralph Pukula.

The first phase, which will cost $227,770, is replacing the water main south of Weimer Avenue to Pfeiffer Avenue.

The second phase, which costs $202,000, goes from Pfeiffer to Norton Drive.

A. $85,230 project to replace the East Street water main at Short Street will start after Warner Avenue project.

Pukula said he hopes the

work will be finished on all the water main projects by the Fourth of July.

The replacement of sidewalks, driveways and stairways will start mid-June and is estimated to be finished by the third or fourth week of July, according to Village Administrator George Schafer.

The village received a $250,000 Community Development Block Grant for the project and will pay the remaining costs of $282,240.

Pukula said the focus will be on replacing hazardous sidewalks.

Each bid was lower than the estimated costs, totaling around $100,000 in savings.

Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves said the village would look at other projects it could do with the leftover money.

Reaves also said the construction at Walker and McCarthy roads is almost fin-

ished, and he hopes to have traffic signals up by Memorial Day weekend.

The Lemont Village Board also last week approved some items it had discussed at previous meetings, including: • Issuing a $23,723.50 grant for improvements at the Pollyanna Brewing Company site at 431 Talcott Ave. The money is coming from the Downtown Tax Increment Finance District.

• Calling the General Obligation Bonds Series 2005 and restructuring the Alternative Revenue Bonds Series 2012B. By taking advantage of lower interest rates, the village hopes to save $4,135. A public hearing on the issue will be held at the end of June.

• Making permanent a restriction of parking on the east side of Eagle Crest Drive adjacent to Centennial Pool from May 1 to Oct. 1.

‘All of this just comes natural’ • CARS

Continued from page 3 “The owner of the car brought [Zolper] along. And after 10 minutes of speaking with him about the car, we found our third host of ‘Garage Squad,’ ” Lega said.

“Joe is like the Energizer Bunny.”

Zolper was ecstatic.

“I heard [the owner] needed help with the paint job for a TV show,” Zolper said. “I was so busy that day I almost called and canceled. … Really this is so crazy, it’s like winning the lottery.”

Zolper grew up cruising Jefferson Street in his teens, but now he is one of three co-hosts of the show. He brought with him several other Joliet area mechanics.

“Joliet has a huge following and respect for muscle cars, custom cars, the racing scene,” Zolper said.

Zolper’s dream job in third grade was a diesel

mechanic.

He started working on making dirt bikes faster before helping his father and brothers on their cars. He bought his first muscle car when he was 17 and from there worked as a mechanic before opening his first repair shop.

“All of this just comes natural,” Zolper said. “I just don’t consider it a job. This is what I do and I feel like I fit in well for the show.”

Zolper and Lega were on set last week helping Joliet resident Brian Meyer fix his 1968 Chevelle Malibu for a future episode.

“These guys are great,” Meyer said. “They accepted me and treated me like I’m part of their crew.”

While Meyer said the filming sometimes interfered with work on the car, the progress at the end of the week would have taken him a whole summer.

“Joliet is full of cool cars,” Zolper said. “We’re helping these guys and it’s a lot of fun.” adno=0271843

Psychology students pay it forward group of guests she waited on at Morris Country Club. Caty Vrabec and Kendall Hoppe took a student in the school’s REACH program out to eat and to get her nails done. “[She] was so excited and gave me a big hug,” Vrabec said. “It’s amazing to see how a small act of kindness can make someone’s day.”

The project was not only successful for the recipients, said Marino, but students felt good about their actions as well.

“When you do something for someone else it actually does more for you,” he said. “It almost doubles the amount of good will.”

Another positive aspect of the project is that teens don’t always get the credit they deserve for good things, Marino said.

“By giving them the opportunity to do this, maybe they can change that image a bit.”

Psychology classes have traditionally been about researching the diseases and problems that can overtake the mind – the dark side of the brain, if you will.

But newer research in the field has scientists, and now students studying the field, looking in the opposite direction.

Minooka High School psychology teachers Matt Marino and Mark Brown challenged their students with a project that may someday help us restore our faith in humanity.

Philip Zimbardo, a psychologist and emeritus professor at Stanford University and Martin Seligman, American psychologist, educator and author of self-help books, are studying the effects of positive psychology.

Building on their work, Marino and Brown asked students to come up with and complete an action that would have a positive impact on another person.

“It’s an area of psychology that’s new,” Marino said.

“It studies what’s right with humans and why as opposed to what’s wrong.”

Student Gabby Belehine baby-sat four children for her mother’s friend, for free, and brought each child a small gift. The littlest child, just 2 years old, was the most tickled about getting a gift,

Belehine said.

“It was interesting, the little things we can do on a daily basis,” Belehine said.

“It’s nice when people go out of their way to do something nice and how it makes others feel.”

Rachel Martin took another approach. She put money in an envelope and taped it to a vending machine at school.

Whoever came by first got a free snack.

Martin had to go to class, so she wasn’t able to gauge the reaction of the person who found the money. But she found herself excited for the recipient anyway.

“I think it’s better to focus on the positive side of psychology instead of mental disorders,” Martin said.

Students did all kinds of acts of kindness, both in and out of school, Marino said.

One student bought cookies and set them out on a table for anyone to take.

“Throughout the day you could hear people talking about it,” Marino said.

Other acts included student Emma Werden who purchased appetizers for a

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

Joliet woman’s love of animals bred like rabbits

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Forget clothes on concrete geese.

Karen Schmidberger of Joliet dressed 14 of her rabbits – live rabbits – in various garments to coordinate with seasons and holidays and then photographed them.

The rabbits appeared to enjoy the process as much as Karen did.

“They’d pose and not move,” said Lou Schmidberger, Karen’s husband.

Their son, Don Schmidberger, of Joliet, said his earliest recollections of family life included pets: their own, as well as strays. Lou and Karen had met at Merichka’s Restaurant in Crest Hill – Lou was a bartender and Karen a waitress – and the couple began their animal family shortly after they were married.

The first addition to the household was Penny, a terrier mix they received from Karen’s uncle. Soon afterward, Lou arrived home with an abandoned kitten inside

his pocket he had found near a Braidwood construction site. It soon died.

The Schmidbergers also owned Regis (Pekinese and Shih-Tzu mix); Dudley (a small mixed breed); and Zuzu (a Shih-Tzu), in honor of Zuzu, the youngest daughter in “It’s a Wonderful Life.”

“A few years ago we met Karolyn Grimes, the woman that played Zuzu,” Don said.

“We had another animal named from the movie, too, Bailey, a cat.”

The Schmidberger cats had different markings and back stories: Tabitha (orange and white, pet store), Mariah (calico, private owner), Abby (calico, from a veterinarian) and Squeak (an orange and white stray) that needed more than a home and a bath.

“My mom even picked the fleas off him,” Don said.

One cat in particular, Don said, changed their lives.

That was Hobo, a black and white, plain-looking kitty with a badly mangled leg.

Hobo had wandered into their backyard one day and

found refuge under the camper.

“He was dirty, afraid and not very trusting,” Don said.

Karen coaxed out the cat and brought him to the Will County Humane Society in Shorewood, Lou said. Tests shows Hobo had feline immunodeficiency virus, which is contagious, so he had to be quarantined, Lou added.

Hobo also had his leg amputated but he soon adjusted.

“He could jump three, four feet in the air,” Lou said.

After spending a year at the shelter waiting for a family, Karen decided to adopt Hobo, but she kept him separated from the other cats. Inspired by Hobo’s tenacious spirit, Karen wrote and published, “Hobo: A Very Special Cat.” One of Karen’s proudest memories was reading her story at an elementary school assembly, Don said.

“She got a big kick out of that,” Don said. “She even had a little girl write her about the book.”

A low-key woman who

enjoyed life’s simple pleasures, Karen cared less about typical presents, such as candy, flowers and jewelry, Don said. She’d rather Lou drove her out to the Hollywood Casino Joliet.

“She didn’t want to go gambling,” Lou said. “She wanted to look at the deer.”

Even after Karen was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, and up to her Feb. 19 death at age 71, she was easy to please. Fun, for Karen, was watching the Chinese acrobats at Navy Pier and eating cheeseburgers, going shopping at Walmart with Don or enjoying a “grilled cheese, fruit punch and some fries” from Ace Drive-In in Plainfield. And she loved watching Lou and Don set up the elaborate outside Christmas display.

So 20 years ago, when Karen decided she wanted a rabbit, Lou was happy to oblige.

Lou did inform the pet store owner that he wanted either

two males or two females.

“We thought they were the same sex. It turns out they weren’t,” Don said.

“My mom didn’t want to give them [the litter] to a pet store. She was afraid they’d be fed to snakes. But before we could separate them, the rabbit became pregnant again.”

Lou housed the bunny brigade inside the garage and kept them supplied with fresh straw. In the summer, Lou cracked open the garage door and cooled the air by blowing fans over blocks of ice.

“I was in tears every time they had a litter,” Lou said.

“I was making cages for two and a half months. Molly, Walter, Gus, Oliver. … Oh, geez, she named them all.”

Northern State University men’s basketball coach Don Meyer (second from left) smiles as he celebrates his 903rd career victory Jan. 10, 2009, in Aberdeen, S.D. Meyer, one of the winningest coaches in college basketball who came back from a near-fatal car accident and liver cancer before closing out his career, died Sunday in South Dakota. He was 69.

Winning hoops coach Meyer dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – Don Meyer, one of the winningest coaches in college basketball who came back from a near-fatal car accident and liver cancer before closing out his career, died Sunday in South Dakota. He was 69.

Meyer led his teams into the playoffs 19 times and compiled a 923-324 during his 38-year career, most of which he spent at Lipscomb in Tennessee and Northern State in South Dakota.

The former Northern State coach died Sunday morning of cancer at his home in Aberdeen, where he had recently gone into hospice care, family spokeswoman Brenda Dreyer said.

“He won his greatest victory and is now running again and gearing up to pitch nine innings,” the Meyer family said in a statement.

“The family appreciates the outpouring of love, prayers and concern.”

Four months after a near-fatal car accident and a cancer diagnosis, Meyer passed Bob Knight as the NCAA’s winningest coach in men’s basketball history in 2009. The native of Wayne, Nebraska, retired after the 2010 season at Northern State and a 13-14 record – only his

fourth losing season.

Some of the greatest names in college basketball were his biggest fans, including Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski, who surpassed Meyer’s record in 2012 and once said Meyer did “a wonderful job of giving back to our great game.” Former Tennessee women’s coach Pat Summitt, who holds the all-time win record for college basketball, has called Meyer “truly one of the best teachers in the history of the game.”

Jerry Meyer played for his dad at Lipscomb from 1989 to 1992, and credits his dad’s success with a seamless, on-and off-court philosophy that lent itself to an exciting game.

“He was a tough coach to play for, very demanding physical and mentally. But that’s what made him a great coach, and that’s why all his players, he influenced their lives so much and produced so many coaches,” Jerry Meyer said.

Lipscomb athletic director Philip Hutcheson, who also played for Meyer there, said it wasn’t hard to see the coach’s legacy at the school – “that’s well-established and it’s enormous.” What’s difficult, Hutcheson said, is “trying to determine where his impact ended.”

Town marks 6 months since devastating tornado

WASHINGTON – Six months after a tornado devastated Kris Lancaster’s home and the homes of hundreds of others in his central Illinois town, the mere sound of a train going by on tracks near where he currently lives unnerves him.

“A tornado sounds like a freight train,” he told The Bloomington Pantagraph about why the passing trains upset him. “It freaks me out all of the time.”

At the six-month mark since the powerful Nov. 17 tornado devastated Washington, many residents are taking stock of how far they’ve come and just how far they still have to go on the road to recovery.

The physical damage in the community of 15,000 is more obvious. Many homes are still being rebuilt. Elsewhere, people are still clearing away debris.

And some lots where houses once stood are for sale.

The tornado destroyed or damaged more than 1,000 homes, killing one person; two others died later of related injuries.

Ex-Quinn chief of staff turns to lobbying

SPRINGFIELD – A former top aide to Gov. Pat Quinn is now working as a lobbyist for a group representing casino owners and a company hoping to get into the medical marijuana business, raising eyebrows among some who want to strengthen the state’s so-called revolving door ban.

Jack Lavin, who left his job as Quinn’s chief of staff last September, started his own lobbying business in February and has landed several contracts in recent weeks, Lee Enterprises reported Sunday.

Hockey fans arrive Sunday for Game 1 of the Western Conference finals in the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Los Angeles Kings in Chicago.

Records show Lavin represents the Illinois Casino Gaming Association, which has been in the middle of talks regarding an expansion of gambling in Illinois.

He’s also signed on with Effingham-based Healthcentral LLC, a company formed to compete for a license to grow marijuana after lawmakers approved a four-year medical marijuana pilot program.

Senators seek national park status for Illinois site

CHICAGO – Illinois’ U.S. senators want the federal government to consider national park status for the site of the first town founded and built by a freed slave before the Civil War. U.S. Sens. Dick Durbin and Mark Kirk say the New Philadelphia archaeological site in western Illinois has “exceptional historical significance.”

They say designating it as part of the national park system would ensure the area is protected.

New Philadelphia was plotted in 1836 as the first fully racially integrated community before the Civil War.

Cairo remembers women killed during botched holdup

CAIRO – Residents of a southern Illinois town remembered a bank branch president and a teller who were killed during a botched holdup as kind and loving.

“They definitely won’t be forgotten, and the best parts of them will live on with each one of us and that’s what’s going to make this community stronger,” the Rev. Jimmy Ellis, pastor of Cairo’s First Missionary Baptist Church, told the Carbondale-based Southern Illinoisan.

Anita J. Grace, 52, of Olive

Branch, and Nita J. Smith, 52, of Wickliffe, Kentucky, were stabbed to death in the robbery attempt Thursday at the First National Bank branch. A third person was critically injured.

James Watts, 29, was charged on a federal weapons count and likely will face additional charges.

The robbery attempt took place after 5 p.m. Thursday when a gunman confronted the women as they emerged from the bank, then forced them back inside.

Police found the victims in a break room, court documents say. Watts was arrested later Thursday.

Police: Illinois motorcyclist shot in head, killed

PONTOON BEACH – Illinois State Police said they’re investigating the slaying of a 43-year-

old southern Illinois man who apparently was shot in the head while riding his motorcycle.

The Bloomington Pantagraph reported that a Madison County Sheriff’s deputy discovered what appeared to be a motorcycle crash around 3:30 Sunday morning in a rural area near Granite City.

The deputy found the body of a Pontoon Beach man next to the motorcycle. The victim had a single bullet wound to the head.

A caller to 911 provided information about the shooting. A 22-year-old Pontoon Beach man has been arrested and is being held pending charges.

Illinois State Police Captain James Morrisey said the men “know each other,” but he couldn’t elaborate on their relationship.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS AT&T agrees to buy DirecTV in $48.5B deal

LOS ANGELES – AT&T Inc. on Sunday agreed to buy satellite TV provider DirecTV for $48.5 billion, or $95 a share, a deal both companies described as transformational as they seek to take on cable companies and online video providers, delivering content to multiple screens –on living room TVs, PCs, tablets and mobile phones.

With 5.7 million U-verse TV customers and 20.3 million DirecTV customers in the U.S., the combined AT&T-DirecTV would serve 26 million. That would make it the second-largest pay TV operator behind a combined Comcast-Time Warner Cable, which would serve 30 million under a $45 billion merger proposed in February.

“What it does is it gives us the pieces to fulfill a vision we’ve had for a couple of years – the ability to take premium content and deliver it across multiple points: your smartphone, tablet, television or laptop,” AT&T’s Chairman and CEO Randall Stephenson said on a conference call with journalists Sunday.

3 face charges in Turkey mine disaster amid anger ISTANBUL – In the face of widespread anger over Turkey’s worst mining disaster, prosecutors arrested three people, including a company manager, on charges of negligence Sunday.

The three also were accused of causing the death of more than one person, a charge that doesn’t

imply intent, prosecutor Bekir Sahiner said at a news conference in the western town of Soma, where 301 coal miners were killed in Tuesday’s tragedy.

The arrests follow allegations by miners that the company failed to heed safety concerns and that government inspections had been superficial. The disaster has provoked anger at a critical time for Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, as he mulls running in August’s presidential election.

A total of 25 people were initially detained for questioning and six were later released, Sahiner said. Prosecutors will now decide whether to charge or release the remaining 16 people in custody.

California gearing up for bad wildfire season

SAN DIEGO – All evacuation orders were lifted Sunday as firefighters gained the upper hand on the remaining four of nearly a dozen blazes that tore through Southern California last week – while the governor warned the state was gearing up for what could be one of the drought-stricken region’s worst wildfire seasons.

Gov. Jerry Brown told ABC’s “This Week” that the state has 5,000 firefighters and has appropriated $600 million to battling blazes, but that may not be enough in the future.

“We’re getting ready for the worst,” Brown said. “Now, we don’t want to anticipate before we know, but we need a full complement of firefighting capacity.”

A Bosnian man walks on a broken road Sunday after a landslide which swept away eight houses near Kalesija, Bosnia, 150. Packed into buses, boats and helicopters, carrying nothing but a handful of belongings, tens of thousands fled their homes in Bosnia and Serbia, seeking to escape the worst flooding in a century.

Bosnia floods trigger landslides, unearth mines

By SABINA NIKSIC and JOVANA GEC The Associated Press BRCKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina – Floodwaters triggered more than 3,000 landslides across the Balkans on Sunday, laying waste to entire towns and villages and disturbing land mines leftover from the region’s 1990s war, along with warning signs that marked the unexploded weapons.

The Balkans’ worst flooding since record keeping began forced tens of thousands of people from their homes and threatened to inundate Serbia’s main power plant, which supplies electricity to a third of the country and most of the capital, Belgrade.

Authorities organized a frenzied helicopter airlift to get terrified families to safety before the water swallowed up their homes. Many were plucked from rooftops.

Floodwaters receded Sunday in some locations, laying

bare the full scale of the damage. Elsewhere, emergency management officials warned that the water would keep rising into Sunday night.

“The situation is catastrophic,” said Bosnia’s refugee minister, Adil Osmanovic.

Three months’ worth of rain fell on the region in three days, producing the worst floods since rainfall measurements began 120 years ago. At least two dozen people have died, with more casualties expected.

The rain caused an estimated 2,100 landslides that covered roads, homes and whole villages throughout hilly Bosnia. Another 1,000 landslides were reported in neighboring Serbia.

The cities of Orasje and Brcko in northeast Bosnia, where the Sava River forms the natural border with Croatia, were in danger of being overwhelmed. Officials in Brcko ordered six villages to be evacuated.

Rescuers urged people to go to the balconies or rooftops of their houses with bright fabric to make themselves visible.

Brcko Mayor Anto Domic said that unless the Bosnian Army is able to reinforce from the air, the city will be flooded completely. He called for the Defense Ministry to use helicopters to lower steel barriers that could be backed by sandbags to contain the water.

“It is a very demanding task,” he said, acknowledging that officials would have no other way to protect the port city of more than 70,000.

Civil protection commander Fahrudin Solak said the Sava River was spilling over another portion of the flood barrier in Orasje while emergency workers tried desperately to reinforce it with sandbags.

In Serbia, where floods have inundated towns and villages, authorities braced for high water that could last for several more days.

By IBRAHIM GARBA The Associated Press

a suicide bomber drove a car laden with explosives into the neighborhood’s bustling bus station in March 2013.

Alcohol is forbidden under Shariah law that holds in the largely Muslim city but authorities generally turn a blind eye to the Christian neighborhood and hotels.

Previous explosions have been blamed on the Islamic extremist group Boko Haram that claimed responsibility for two explosions last month in Abuja that killed more than 120 people and wounded more than 200.

World attention turned on the group with its mass abduction a month ago of 276 schoolgirls whom it is threatening to sell into slavery if the government does not release detained militants. Officials say Nigeria will not swap the girls for detainees. Several countries including the U.S., France and Britain have sent military experts in surveillance, intelligence gathering and hostage negotiation to help bring the girls back home.

KANO, Nigeria – A car bomb exploded in the Christian neighborhood of Nigeria’s second most populous and mainly Muslim city of Kano on Sunday night, killing at least four people, police said. Five people were wounded.

Police Superintendent Aderenle Shinaba said the car exploded Sunday night before the bomber reached his target of the busy restaurants and bars lining Gold Coast Street, indicating the casualties could have been much higher. It was unclear if the bomber was among them.

The Sabon Gari Christian quarter is a popular area where people dine, play games, dance and drink alcohol – all anathema to the Islamic extremists blamed for previous attacks in the neighborhood.

Multiple blasts in Sabon Gari – the name means “Strangers’ Quarters” in the Hausa language – killed at least 24 people in last July and

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea’s president said Monday she will push to disband the coast guard in the wake of last month’s ferry disaster that left more than 300 people dead or missing, calling its rescue operations after the disaster a failure.

The coast guard has been under growing public criticism over its alleged poor search and rescue work after the ferry Sewol sank on April 16. Most of the victims were students from a single high school near Seoul who were traveling to the southern tourist island of Jeju.

“The coast guard’s rescue operations were virtually a failure,” Park said in a nationally televised speech.

Park said she will push for

legislation that would transfer the coast guard’s responsibilities to the National Police Agency and a new government body she plans to establish.

Park also again apologized for the government’s handling of the sinking, one of the deadliest disasters in decades in South Korea. “The final responsibility for not properly dealing with this incident is placed on me,” she said. Park has apologized over the incident at least three times.

About one month after the sinking, 286 bodies have been retrieved but 18 others are still missing. Some 172 people, including 22 of the ship’s 29 crew members, survived.

Prosecutors last week indicted the ferry’s 15 crew members tasked with navigating the ship, four on homicide charges.

ANOTHER VIEW

Solar panels are fine, but not enough President Barack Obama is announcing a bundle of plans for boosting solar power and promoting energy efficiency.

That may be about all he can do on his own authority without support from Congress, but it’s still half a loaf.

One of the steps he was touting was completion of solar panel installation on the White House roof. Well, whoopee.

Jimmy Carter put solar panels on the roof of the executive residence, but Ronald Reagan had them removed. That made the panels a political football rather than a modest efficiency

tool.

The panels will be more effective as a symbol of presidential policy than as a real contribution to the nation’s energy efficiency.

America needs a broader, more inclusive energy policy, but it’s never going to get one as long as political leaders hold to hard-line policy.

“The president can’t claim an ‘all of the above’ strategy while he’s blocking the Keystone pipeline, slow-rolling the approval of new energy exploration and proposing job-killing regulations that will destroy the

American coal industry,” said a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, the ultra-Republican from Ohio.

Filter out the partisan rhetoric, and the man has a point.

Solar panels do not a policy make. Power-saving green steps alone can’t meet our energy needs.

The energy efficiency guys and the we-need-more-power bunch need to bury the hatchet.

The issue is too important to the national well-being to be a focus for political games.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Unbeaten Slammers happy to be plunked for win

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Monday, May 19, 2014

20 Four hit batsmen in ninth fuel rally vs. Southern Ill.

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Another day and another comeback win for the Joliet Slammers.

Sunday’s game was a 5-4 thriller over Southern Illinois in Frontier League action at Silver Cross Field before a crowd of 1,754.

The Slammers (3-0) will enjoy this one while icing down their bruises.

They trailed the Miners (0-3) 4-1 in the bottom of the ninth inning before scoring four runs off Miners’ relievers Matt Miller and Stew Brase.

Miller (0-1) hit four of the seven Slammers he faced in the inning.

“I wish we would make it a little bit easier on ourselves,” Joliet manager Jeff Isom said.

“Three games in a row now we’ve come from behind. It was a nice sweep for us.”

Isom could not remember a game in his baseball career where four hit batsmen in an inning prompted a come-frombehind victory and did not result in a benches-clearing brawl.

“There was definitely no ill-will in any of those pitches,” Isom said. “We’ll try to get on anyway we can. That was something. That was unbelievable.”

Tre-Von Johnson took the first ball off his body to start the bottom of the ninth inning.

Miller then hit Max Casper before Darian Sandford hit into a fielder’s choice, which forced Casper at second base.

Marquis Riley followed with an RBI single to left field scoring Johnson to make it 4-2.

Miller then plunked Russell Moldenhauer with a 1-2 pitch to load the bases for Adam Giacalone. He ripped a single to center, scoring Sandford and Riley to tie the game at 4. After Miller hit Grant DeBruin to load the bases again, Miners manager Mike Pinto pulled him for Brase.

Joliet Slammers’ C.J. Epperson hits a sacrifice fly for the game winning hit in the bottom of the ninth Sunday against Southern Illinois at Silver Cross Field. The Slammers won, 5-4

“Three games in a row now we’ve come from behind. It was a nice sweep for us.”

Jeff Isom Joliet Slammers manager It also set the stage for C.J. Epperson’s heroics.

“I was just trying to keep it simple,” Epperson said of his sacrifice fly to center that scored pinch-runner Bill Miller with the winning run. “I was looking for a good pitch up in the zone, something I could get a barrel on, something I could drive into the outfield, which I did. I didn’t get it square, but it did the job for the team.

“We’re never out of it. A

Slammers starting pitcher Matt Dillon tries to pick off Miners’ Aaron Gates with the throw to first baseman Adam Giacalone in Sunday’s game. lot of these guys are very hungry and very focused and they came through when we needed it.”

The Slammers’ comeback made a winner out of reliever Sam Moore, who pitched a scoreless eighth and ninth,

striking out three Miners.

“It was good team win. My job coming in is to hang up zeros, and I got that accomplished,” Moore said. “I had a heavy sinker that was working and out of nowhere my curveball was pretty nasty. It

was good to have that pitch, too. It was good to see the team come back and score those runs late.”

Matt Dillon started for the Slammers and pitched 42⁄3 innings, giving up four runs, three of which were earned.

Ryan Connolly came on to pitch 21⁄3 innings of scoreless relief before giving way to Moore.

“That’s what we continue to talk about with our starters, give us a chance. Keep it close so we have a chance,” Isom said. “We feel comfortable with the bullpen arms we have. Connolly came in and did an outstanding job, and Sam Moore for his first outing was excellent, as well.”

The Slammers return to action Tuesday, playing at the Gateway Grizzlies. They return home next weekend to face the Normal CornBelters.

Wilson leads Coyne’s 3-car Indy qualifiers Plainfield-based team also has Huertas, Mann competing in Sunday’s 500-mile race

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent

• Monday, May 19, 2014

SPEEDWAY, Ind. – Indy car drivers often say qualifying for the Indianapolis 500 is sometimes more difficult than running in the big race.

That’s because the car is set up to be faster for four laps rather than for 200, which means less stable, which equals more dangerous.

Justin Wilson, the lead driver from Plainfield-based Dale Coyne Racing, felt that in the seat of his pants Sunday.

Thanks to the new qualifying format for the 500, he had to run the four-lap qualifying ordeal for the second day in a row.

He did so with style, his average speed of 230.256 mph placing him 14th, the middle of the fifth row for this Sunday’s 98th renewal of the 500.

“It was pretty exciting,” Wilson said. “I was sliding through all four corners, just hanging on.”

The alternative would have been going slower, and starting farther back in the pack.

On Saturday, Wilson’s speed of 229.618 mph merely placed his Dallara-Honda in the field for the race. Sunday was to determine precisely where he would start.

“I knew I was losing a little bit of lap time every lap because of the sliding,” Wilson said.

The 35-year-old Englishman’s speed is less than one mph slower than Ed Carpenter’s pole speed of 231.067 mph.

Carpenter won the pole for the second straight year, the 11th driver to do so, and did it from the last qualifying position, a place he earned by being the fastest driver Saturday.

Wilson’s teammates, Carlos Huertas and Pippa Mann, will start farther back in the fastest 33-car field in 500 history.

Wilson will start 14th in Sunday’s race. TOP: Pippa Mann (left) pulls out of the pits Wednesday during practice for Indy 500. Mann will start 22nd.

Huertas, a Colombian-born Indy rookie with limited oval experience, ran 229.251 mph and will start 21st, on the outside of the seventh row, while Mann, running for the first time this season, starts 22nd, on the inside of the eighth row, after her 229.223 mph effort.

“I still have some things to work on,” Huertas after zipping around the 2.5-mile oval.

It’s Coyne’s first time with a three-car operation. A two-car team has been normal for the third-oldest team in Indy car racing, behind only the operations of A.J. Foyt and Roger Penske.

Mann’s the extra driver, added when she and Coyne received backing from the Susan G. Komen Foundation to run for the month. Mann had a

Plainfield motorsports team owner Dale Coyne waves the green flag on Carlos Huertas’ qualifying run Sunday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Huertas will start 21st. semi-regular ride on the circuit in previous years, but this season she has been working on radio broadcasts of the series.

“There’s been some really great communication,” Mann said of her interaction with Wilson and Huerta. “I’m

thrilled with my race car.”

Wilson thought the limited practice time going into the weekend was more of a factor for the unease than the new qualifying format.

“The biggest factor has been the weather,” Wilson said, noting he couldn’t run the extra boost provided for qualifying until Saturday morning. “You try to see how much you can get away with for down-force levels. We were pretty aggressive.”

With all that behind him, Wilson was sanguine about Sunday’s chances.

“At the end of the day, where we start isn’t as important as where we finish,” Wilson said.

It is, after all, a 500-mile race.

McMurray pulls off surprise win in All-Star race

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press CONCORD, N.C. – Jamie McMurray started his day at home with his young son, who vowed to spend the day playing in his sand box.

Then Carter McMurray asked his dad what he had planned for Saturday.

“I’m going to race for a million bucks,’ ” McMurray told him.

Race for it? Sure. Win it?

With his Las Vegas odds at 40-1, McMurray was one of the biggest long shots Saturday night in the Sprint AllStar race.

But he pulled off a masterful upset, staging a tense door-to-door battle with Carl Edwards to grab the $1 million prize with his first AllStar victory.

Jamie McMurray raises the mock check Saturday in Victory Lane after winning the NASCAR Sprint All-Star race at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, N.C. McMurray, who led a race-high 31 laps, had never before led a lap in the AllStar race, and his previous best finish in seven appearances in the exhibition was

eighth.

McMurray was second on the restart for the 10-lap sprint to the checkered flag.

Lined up outside of pole-sitter Edwards, McMurray

flirted several times for the lead on a frantic lap around Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Although he surged slightly ahead several times, and the two cars appeared to touch more than once, McMurray finally cleared Edwards for the lead two laps into the fifth and final segment.

“As a kid, that is what you grew up wanting to do, is have a shootout like that and have a possibility to race for 10 laps,” McMurray said. “He got a little bit of a jump on me on the restart and I was able to hang on to his quarter panel, and when we kept entering Turn 1 and 3, I was like, ‘It is for a million bucks. If we wreck, it’s not that big of a deal.’

“It’s so cool to come out on top.”

WESTERN CONFERENCE FINAL: BLACKHAWKS 3, KINGS 1, HAWKS LEAD 1-0

VIEWS Tom Musick

• Monday, May 19, 2014

CHICAGO – The Blackhawks clung to a one-goal lead late in the third period Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings.

Hawks coach Joel Quenneville called a timeout to bark reminders at his players.

Then, just before the Hawks returned to the ice for a faceoff in their defensive zone, a familiar voice blasted from the speakers atop the United Center.

“CHICAGOOOO!” The one-word audio clip was unmistakable. The deep, slurred voice belonged to Patrick Kane from when he joyously stepped to the microphone and greeted throngs of fans during the 2010 Stanley Cup championship parade.

On Sunday, a sellout crowd of 21,832 fans went bonkers in response to the throwback clip. They screamed until the next faceoff, and before too long, the Hawks had increased their lead to 3-1 to seize Game 1 of the Western Conference final.

Well played, Hawks.

Nicely done, Hawks fans.

“That’s a fun building to play in,” Hawks defenseman Duncan Keith said as he sat in front of his locker after the game. “Use the crowd to our advantage. (We’ve) always taken pride in being here.

“At the same time, you want to win on the road, too.”

Well, yeah, of course. But let’s focus on home ice for a moment.

The Hawks are 7-0 on home ice during the playoffs.

They went three for three against the St. Louis Blues, three for three against the Minnesota Wild and now they’re one for one against the Kings.

Look back toward last season, and the Hawks’

Blackhawks’ Jonathan Toews (center) celebrates with Marian Hossa (left) and Bryan Bickell after scoring his goal Sunday against the Los Angeles Kings during the third period of Game 1 of the Western Conference final at the United Center. The Blackhawks won, 3-1. home-ice success is downright scary. In their past 20 playoff games on home ice, the Hawks are a whopping 18-2.

What is it about this place?

Home-field advantage understandably makes a difference in baseball, where home teams get the last atbat and dimensions vary for everything from the size of the outfield to the amount of foul territory.

And home-field advantage is huge in the NFL, where deafening crowd noise can prompt opponents to jump offsides.

But what gives with hockey? The rink size is exactly the same in Chicago as it is in Los Angeles.

With slight variations, the temperature of the building

same.

Yet the Hawks play at home as if they’re the Seattle Seahawks at CenturyLink Field.

“We come out flying at home,” said Hawks forward Brandon Saad, who scored the game’s opening goal on a perfect deflection. “We play with that pace.”

That pace, as you know, has helped the Hawks to win two titles in four years.

Maybe you’re one of those people who shrug at home-ice statistics, insisting that the Hawks’ success has 100 percent to do with the players on the roster.

Although those players are great, they’re the first to admit that the crowd makes a difference.

“The crowd has been unbelievable,” Hawks defense-

man Nick Leddy said. “That helps out a lot. It helps out for momentum, and momentum is huge in the playoffs.”

Hawks forward Bryan Bickell agreed. A side bonus for Bickell: Instead of going back to a hotel, like the Kings did Sunday, he could drive home to his wife and two dogs.

“To get the first one under our belt and have that home-ice status still, it’s important,” Bickell said. “We started the series off right.

We have to adjust a couple of things, but we’re looking forward to Wednesday’s game.”

We all know where that game will take place.

Sweet home, Chicagoooo.

White Sox fall short against Astros THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HOUSTON – The White Sox lefty John Danks struggled to keep the Astros in the park Sunday.

Danks allowed three home runs – the most allowed in nine starts – in his shortest outing of the season, and the White Sox fell to the Astros, 8-2.

“I did a terrible job of keeping the ball in the ballpark, terrible job of getting in pitcher’s counts,” said Danks (3-4). “I didn’t make a pitch when I needed to.”

At the very least, it wasn’t the kind of effort the Austin native had envisioned putting on.

“This one stings a little

bit,” Danks said. “I was excited coming in, pitching at home – had a lot of people here... It (stinks).”

Other than Adrian Nieto, who went 3 for 3 with two RBIs, the Sox struggled offensively against Astros right-hander Brad Peacock (1-4).

It was the Sox’s second straight loss and seventh in 10 games.

Chris Carter gave the Astros the lead with a solo shot in the second, and Matt Dominguez hit two-run homers in the third and fifth innings off Danks. “(He) had a good day,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said of Dominguez, who had four RBIs.

“He can hit. He has a lot of power. Anytime you put it in there, in his happy zone, he can get rid of it.”

Ventura’s assessment went to the reason for Danks’ struggles at Minute Maid Park.

“Any time you get the ball up, especially in this ballpark, you’re going to create a lot of problems,” Ventura said.

Danks – who entered the game having allowed five homers, four of them in May – was done after just 4 2-3 innings.

He allowed eight runs, including seven earned, and 10 hits. He struck out seven, walked three and hit Carlos Corporan.

CUBS 4, BREWERS 2

Travis Wood pitches Cubs to win over Brewers

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – Travis Wood got into trouble in the first inning when he walked the bases loaded before retiring Khris Davis on a grounder that kept the game scoreless.

After a simple tweak, Wood cruised the rest of the way.

The left-hander retired 19 of his final 21 batters and pitched two-hit ball for seven innings as the Cubs beat the Brewers, 4-2, on Sunday.

“It was a struggle there in the first,” Wood said. “We weren’t missing bad, but we were missing, so (there was) kind of a minor adjustment I had to make. I was kind of flying open a little bit there

in the first after the first or second hitter, so we made it and were able to roll after that.”

Welington Castillo and Mike Olt homered for the Cubs, who took two of three from the NL Central leaders to win a series for the second time this season.

Wood (4-4) allowed two runs and struck out seven.

All three of his walks came in the first inning.

“When he locates down into the corners, he’s really, really effective,” Cubs manager Rick Renteria said.

The Cubs won their first series since taking two of three against the Cardinals from the weekend of May 2.

“We had some timely hitting. Our pitching has been

really good, and we’ve been able to close out the ballgames we lead,” Renteria said.

Hector Rondon earned his fifth save in five chances after allowing a leadoff double to Ryan Braun in the ninth for Milwaukee’s third hit.

The Brewers, who began the day with the NL’s best record, have scored 11 runs in five games.

“He keeps the fastball away well. He throws the cutter inside to right-handers well and mixes in a curveball,” Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said about Wood.

“He commanded the ball well, and we’re a little bit off offensively. Three hits, just not many guys on base to do things with.”

Cat allergy doesn’t stop shelter volunteer Joliet woman spends nearly every weekend at Joliet Township Animal Control Know more

By JAN LARSEN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – It’s Saturday morning at Joliet Township Animal Control and Bunga is in the cat room again.

That’s her name. Bunga.

It’s on her license plate and her email address. Ask what her real name is and she hesitates before answering, “Pat Mrozek.” Perhaps when she was a special education teacher at Valley View School District, her students called her Ms. Mrozek. But really, it’s been Bunga since she was 15 years old, one of just 100 students in her Plainfield High School class.

When Animal Control is closed, Bunga is there at 8 a.m. for about three hours. Almost every Saturday, Sunday and holiday for the past two and a half years. Bunga has cleaned out litter and cuddled, brushed and played with felines as she passes out treats, despite having a cat allergy.

“She’s very loving,” JTAC Director Sarah Gimbel said.

“She’s donated to have different ones fixed. She brings in food and bleach and supplies and extra canned food as a special weekend treat.”

If there is someone to help her, Bunga is patient with instructions. On a recent Saturday, she gave a Joliet Job Corps student volunteer a new watch – a thank you for being a hard worker. She also gave her a huge dose of self-esteem … and antibiotic cream for a few scratches.

There are rules, for her helpers and for the cats.

“Oh, I will put a cat in time out,” Bunga said.

The good ones get some time to run around the cat room while she cleans their cage, puts in fresh food and water and a fresh towel. If there aren’t other volunteers, Bunga does it alone. Bunga rejoices when her charges are adopted and worries when

Joliet Township Animal Control is located at 2807 McDonough St., Joliet. For information about volunteering, call 815-725-0333.

Joliet Township Animal Control volunteer Bunga takes care of one her feline charges. Bunga has volunteered almost every Saturday, Sunday and holiday for the past two and a half years.

“She’s very loving. She’s donated to have different [cats] fixed.

She brings in food and bleach and supplies and extra canned food as a special weekend treat.”

Sarah Gimbel Director of Joliet Township Animal Control

Bunga cuddles with one the cats at the Joliet Township Animal Control. they are sick.

“The reliability is huge,” Gimbel said. “If she can’t make it, she will call in. She takes care of our cats and kitties like her own.”

For as long as she can remember, Bunga’s life has been full of animals, except

for the years she lived in an apartment. She has three cats at home and a dog, a Chihuahua named Shorty.

“People say they’ve never seen cats who love each other like they do,” Bunga said.

A Plainfield native, she’s lived in Joliet most of her life.

“I never married,” Bunga said. “I dedicated my life to teaching.”

Bunga earned five certificates in special education over the years and has her master’s, plus 60 hours. She retired before age 60 because Valley View offered great incentives and her mom was ill.

A year later, her mom died.

A friend who volunteered at Animal Control told her

about it and that’s how she started. Bunga already felt good about Animal Control because she had adopted several dogs and cats there during the last 30 years. And yes, Bunga also feeds stray cats in her area.

“One is a Norwegian forest cat,” she said. “It won’t come within two feet of me, won’t let me pick it up.” In the worst weather, she added, it sleeps in a doghouse out back.

All of Bunga’s relatives live in Indiana or Florida, so during holidays, Bunga cooks for the cats, a 12-pound turkey at Thanksgiving and a ham at Easter, giving the bone to the biggest dog at the shelter.

One day, Bunga will move to Indiana to care for her older sister. For now, she also volunteers at Cunningham School in Joliet when they need her “for all the extra stuff” and special occasions like Halloween. Other interests including reading, crafts and hanging out with neighbors around her fire pit.

“She’s amazing,” Gimbel said.

Bunga has been allergic to cats for 20 years. Instead of giving up the cats, Bunga chose immunotherapy. At first, the allergy shots were three times a week, then lessened to two, one and then once a month. If a relapse occurs, Bunga gets back in the rotation.

She feels that’s a small price to pay for making life better for countless abandoned creatures.

“I’m not going to give up a cat because of an allergy,” Bunga said.

HARLEYSVILLE, Pa. – If man’s best friend is a dog, then who is a dog’s best friend?

That would be Rover. Or Glow.

Or Ivan or Raina.

The four canines recently donated precious pints of blood to their fellow pooches.

And they did it without having to travel far from home: They visited an animal bloodmobile.

Similar to the Red Cross vehicles for humans, the University of Pennsylvania’s traveling veterinary lab goes to where the donors are to make it easier to give.

“You don’t really think about it until you actually need it,” said Kym Marryott, manager of Penn’s Animal

Blood Bank. “Just like in people, dogs need blood too.”

Officials at Penn’s School of Veterinary Medicine said they don’t know of any other animal bloodmobiles operating in the U.S. Theirs makes weekly rounds through suburban Philadelphia and New Jersey.

Dogs must have the correct blood type, weigh at least 55 pounds and be younger than 8 years old. Owners volunteer their pet for the short procedure, which requires no sedation.

However, Marryott said it’s the dog that ultimately chooses to lie still and give.

“If (the dog) wanted to get up and leave, he could,” said Marryott. “But they’re really good about it, they trust their owner.”

Prevent a dog bite by:

• Never leaving a baby or small child alone with a dog, even if it is a family pet • Asking permission before touching or playing with a dog • Remembering that any dog can be dangerous and any dog can bite

If a bite occurs:

• Rinse the bite area with

Dogs donating blood to other dogs THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 4.5 millions Americans, more than of them being children, are bitten annual by dogs.

Yet many dog bites are preventable, if one follows certain precautions.

In honor of Dog Bite Week, May 18 through 24, The American Society for Reconstrutive Microsurgery is working with the US. Postal Service, the nonprofit community, the insurance industry and veterinarians to educate the public on how to avoid dog bites and how to treat a dog bite if one occurs.

About 150 dogs participate in the program. Each donates three or four pints a year, which can help animals suffering from illnesses like cancer or an accidental trauma like being hit by a car. One pint can save up to three dogs.

Sandy Lucas brought her 7-year-old black German shepherd to the bloodmobile last week, when it was parked at a strip mall in Harleysville about 14 miles from her home.

The Pottstown, Pennsylvania, resident said she wouldn’t have braved highway traffic and city parking problems to take the dog to Penn Vet’s animal hospital in downtown Philadelphia, which is twice as far. But the bloodmobile made it convenient to find out if Raina could donate, she said.

soapy water.

• Elevate limb(s) that have been bitten.

• Apply antiseptic lotion or cream. Watch the area for signs of infection for several days after the incident.

• For deeper bites or puncture wounds, apply pressure with a clean bandage or towel to stop the bleeding. Then wash the wound, dry it and cover with a sterile dressing, Don’t use tape or butterfly bandages to close the wound.

• Call your child’s physician because a bite could require antibiotics or a tetanus shot. The doctor also can help you to report the incident.

• If your child is bitten severely, call 911 or go to the emergency room.

At the emergency room, advise the personnel of: • Your tetanus vaccination status • Vaccine status of the dog • Owner of the dog • If the dog has previously bitten anyone

A little care pays a big prize

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Joyce Brothers, a psychologist and newspaper columnist, was the only woman to win the top prize in “The $64,000 Question.”

She said, “A philosopher is a person who doesn’t care which side his bread is buttered on; he knows he eats both sides anyway.”

A bridge player, though, should treat every deal with care.

In this one, after West leads the heart queen against four spades, how would a careless declarer play, and what would a careful declarer do differently?

North’s response was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, promising four or more spades and the values for at least game. South rebid four spades because he had a minimum opening bid with no side-suit singleton or void. North had no reason to bid higher.

The opening lead marks East with the heart ace. So declarer should play low from the board at tricks one and two. However, it is to no avail. The defenders take three heart tricks, then East shifts to the diamond king.

South wins the trick with dummy’s ace and draws trumps, noting the unfriendly 4-0 break.

Now he must take four club tricks so that he can discard his diamond loser.

The careless declarer cashes his club king and plays low to dummy’s ace, going down with this line of play.

The more thoughtful declarer plays low to dummy’s ace, then returns a club to his king. When he sees East discard, South knows to finesse dummy’s 10 on the third round.

Then perhaps East and West will discuss how they might have entered the auction, because five diamonds, if North and South play trumps quickly, is down only one, making it an excellent sacrifice.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips though I don’t always spend it.

I think I have earned the right to shop a little, which ultimately will lead to bigger and better things for my family. Why does my husband make me feel so guilty? – Clothes Make The

Woman Dear C.M.T.W.: Not know-

ing your husband, it’s difficult to say, but I’ll throw out a few ideas. Could he be insecure or intimidated by your professional image?

Could he be jealous on some level? In what kind of environment was he raised?

Was his mother’s “uniform” a housedress?

If you are earning good money and your family is being provided for, then you are certainly entitled to spend some of it on yourself.

And you shouldn’t have to apologize for it.

Dear Abby: I am getting married in October, and my fiancé, “Brad,” and I are having trouble seeing eyeto-eye on the name change issue.

Brad’s family is originally from the North, and my family is from the South.

He and his family are convinced I should drop my maiden name, keep my middle name, and take his name as my new last name.

However, the women in my family have always kept our maiden names, added their new husband’s last name to theirs and dropped their middle names.

Diagnosis of heart failure does not mean death is imminent Dear Dr. K: I was just diagnosed with heart failure. So far, my symptoms have been mild. What can I do to make sure they don’t get worse?

Dear Reader: Heart failure is a condition that progressively weakens your heart’s power to pump blood throughout your body. It might start out mild, but can worsen quickly.

Many people think “heart failure” means sudden death.

It surely is true that when the heart suddenly stops working at all and a person dies, the heart has failed in the worst possible way. But the term “heart failure” refers to a heart that still is pumping, but just not effectively enough.

When that happens, extra fluid in the blood is not eliminated as efficiently by the kidneys. Instead of being eliminated from the body in the urine, it builds up in the tissues. That creates swelling, usually most obvious in the lower legs and feet. It also creates breathlessness, since some fluid builds up in the lungs and makes it harder for the lungs to take oxygen into the body.

Fortunately, you can do several things to keep your heart failure in check, and even reverse it somewhat.

I spoke with my colleague Dr. Eldrin Lewis, a cardiologist

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He recommended the following to ease symptoms and prevent them from getting worse: • Take your medicines.

Typically, medicines that accomplish three different purposes are prescribed: to help your body eliminate excess fluid and sodium; to relax your blood vessels; and to lower your heart’s workload.

• Change your diet. Limit the amount of sodium (typically in the form of salt) you consume to 2,000 milligrams a day. Sodium makes you retain fluid. Don’t add salt to your food, and avoid processed foods, which contain a lot of sodium. Try not to drink more than two quarts of fluid per day.

• Listen to your body. Call your doctor right away if you notice new or worsening symptoms. These include heart palpitations, dizzy spells, fainting, worsening shortness of breath or rapid weight gain. A person can gain 3 to 10 pounds over just a few days from excess fluid.

• Pay attention to other medical conditions. Don’t focus only on your heart failure and neglect other aspects of your health. For example, make sure to keep your blood pressure under tight control.

• Exercise and lose weight if necessary. Regular aerobic exercise strengthens your heart and circulatory system so blood circulates more efficiently. Exercise also can serve as an early warning system.

If you’ve been able to walk a half-mile without trouble and you’re suddenly short of breath, you’ll know something is wrong. Pair regular exercise with cutting calories to lose weight.

With colleagues at Orca Health, I and my Harvard colleagues have recently published iBooks for the Apple iPad and iPhone on various heart conditions, including heart failure. These iBooks explain heart conditions not just with words, but also with videos, animations and interactive tools. You can learn more about these iBooks on my website, www.askdoctork. com.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at www.askdoctork.com or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

This is about the only thing Brad and I can’t seem to agree on. What can I do when my mother says one thing and my sweetie says another? With your years of experience, I hope you can steer me in the right direction. – Brad’s Bride In South

Carolina Dear Bride: It’s your name.

So do what you are most comfortable doing, because it’s the name you will have to carry ‘til the day you die (or divorce).

Dear Abby: I am under a lot of stress, but the woman

I am with doesn’t know it.

I am 17, and I have been sleeping with my 38-year-old aunty. She’s married and has three children. She’s my mum’s sister. We’ve slept together seven times and we can’t stop doing it. I think I’m in love with her.

I know this is wrong. I need advice. Please help. –

Lovesick Teen In The U.K. Dear Lovesick: Being “in

love” shouldn’t cause stress; it should relieve it. You know what you are doing is wrong, and you must be the adult and end this relationship. If you don’t, it will bring heartache and turmoil to you and the rest of the family. By having an adulterous and incestuous affair with you – her nephew and a minor – your aunt is behaving like a sexual predator.

• Monday, May 19, 2014

Dear Abby: I have been working hard to advance in my health care career so I can give my family a decent life. I have worked my way up from poverty, paying my own way, earning my degree through the military and sheer determination.

I have reached a point where I would like to enjoy life a little more, but my husband thinks I am being “materialistic.” We fight often over my wardrobe spending.

I believe the clothes I wear, mostly nice skirt suits and heels, are part of my job and image. I believe it has helped me to get ahead.

I don’t buy overly expensive items, but they aren’t cheap. I wear the things I buy for years and have a $200-a-month budget for what I might need, even
