JOLIET JUNIOR COLLEGE

Board to vote on police chief’s contract

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College trustees are scheduled June 9 to consider renewing JJC Police Chief Pete Comanda’s contract.

The nonrenewal of Comanda’s contract was up for a vote at an April 30 special meeting before it was canceled. Trustees now are expected to consider a recommendation to renew his contract, JJC President Debra Daniels said.

Board Chairman Jeff May said he couldn’t talk specifically about why Comanda’s contract was now being considered for renewal, since those discussions took place in closed session.

“Basically, the facts speak

for themselves. It’s all I can say,” May said.

Divisions throughout the college can request items be put on a board agenda and the president’s office then creates a draft agenda. Daniels then shows that draft to the board during a workshop meeting, and trustees have final approval of what goes on the agenda for a regular meeting, JJC spokeswoman Kelly Rohder said.

When asked who specifically made the recommendation regarding Comanda’s contract status going on the agenda, Daniels said it was a personnel issue and confidential. State law exempts most personnel files and issues from public disclosure.

“As this is a personnel is-

“Basically, the facts speak for themselves.

It’s all I can say.”

Jeff May Joliet Junior College board chairman sue, I can’t comment on that specific case,” she said.

Comanda said at the April special meeting he believed his contract was not being renewed because about two years ago he raised concerns to board trustees about Daniels’ leadership.

He declined at the time to discuss what those concerns were, saying he’s trying to maintain a positive outlook.

When asked about any po-

tential issues with Comanda in the past, Daniels said it was a personnel issue.

Trustee Robert Wunderlich initially told The Herald-News it was Daniels who made the recommendation regarding Comanda’s contract status, but later said he couldn’t be “100 percent sure” it was Daniels’ call. He said he knew it wasn’t Comanda’s immediate supervisor Judy Mitchell, JJC vice president of administrative services, or board trustees.

Daniels said she believed Wunderlich was referring to the protocol where the president makes recommendations as to what should go on a board agenda.

May declined to comment on who made the recommendation regarding Comanda’s con-

tract, as it was a personnel issue discussed in closed session.

He said the board has to protect the college’s taxpayers from potential liability and he could not publicly discuss individual cases discussed in closed session, as it could be used against the college in court.

Attempts Friday to reach trustees Michael O’Connell and Barbara Adams were unsuccessful. A call left with Board Vice Chairwoman Tina Markley on Friday was not returned.

Trustee Andy Mihelich directed questions to May. Trustee Maureen Broderick said she didn’t know who made the recommendation and declined to comment on why Comanda’s contract was up for renewal.

Joliet pet store ordinance put on hold

QUICK NEWS

City concerned about potential lawsuits

MORRIS – The Morris Police Department assisted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Homeland Security Investigations in an investigation that resulted in a Morris man being arrested on child pornography charges.

William S. Tatum, 33, was arrested Thursday on child pornography charges. A search warrant was executed Thursday at an apartment in the 1000 block William S. of Quail Drive, Morris, Tatum according to a news release from Morris police. After further investigation, Tatum was arrested. Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said Friday the federal department contacted Morris police about a month and a half ago regarding Tatum being a person of interest.

Tatum was processed at the Morris Police Department and was later taken to the Grundy County Jail, according to the news release. Tatum was still in jail as of Friday with bond set at $100,000.

He would need to post $10,000 to be released. He is due in court next at 10 a.m. June 18 in front of Judge Lance Peterson.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A proposal to limit the sales of cats and dogs at Joliet pet stores has been put on hold out of concerns over potential lawsuits.

The Joliet City Council Land Use and Legislative Committee on Thursday tabled the proposed ordinance until lawsuits are resolved on similar laws in Chicago and Cook County.

The vote came after the committee heard from pet store owners and animal advocates arguing for and against the ordinance. The law, aimed at puppy mills, would ban the sale of dogs and cats from large commercial breeders. Pet stores would be required to get their animals from animal control centers, shelters, humane societies or rescue organizations.

Ana Soskic, owner of Furry Babies, which sells puppies at the Louis Joliet Mall, said advocates of such laws ultimately seek to eliminate pet ownership.

“By supporting this ordinance, you’ll be part of taking away pet ownership from families in years to come,” Soskic told the committee.

Dianne Arp, with the Companion

Animal Protection Society, which has picketed on Saturdays outside the Petland store in Joliet, said local ordinances are needed because federal regulators are not doing their job in monitoring puppy mills.

“The reason we need to pass legislation at the city level is that the USDA [U.S. Department of Agriculture] does not regulate commercial breeders as they should,” Arp said.

She called the proposed Joliet law “a strong sales ban ordinance.”

Committee members voiced support for local control of pet stores, but said they did not want to get the city mired in costly lawsuits.

“I don’t want to see this die,” said Councilman Jim McFarland, who proposed the ordinance. But, he added, “I think we all agree we don’t want to open up the city to litigation.”

City Attorney Martin Shanahan said he could not recommend the ordinance that he wrote.

“It’s opening up the city to probably litigation if it is passed,” Shanahan said. “I don’t think I could have written one that would not have some sort of legal challenge.”

Committee members agreed to take up the ordinance again once they see the results of lawsuits involving the Chicago and Cook County ordinances.

Pet store owners contend such ordinances limit people’s choices in buying dogs and cats.

“We can shut down every breeding operation in the country today, and we’d have plenty of animals to adopt. We don’t need pet stores. We don’t need animal breeders. We need people who are responsible pet owners and responsible caretakers of their animals.”

Matt Robinson Joliet “There is more oversight of breeders that sell puppies to pet stores than any other breeder, rescue or shelter,” Brian Winslow, director of animal education for Petland, told the committee.

Matt Robinson of Joliet argued that pet ownership would continue without breeders and pet stores.

“We can shut down every breeding operation in the country today, and we’d have plenty of animals to adopt,” Robinson said. “We don’t need pet stores. We don’t need animal breeders.

We need people who are responsible pet owners and responsible caretakers of their animals.”

Hundreds turn out to fourth annual fundraising event

JOLIET – Bob Benge said he might not be alive today if he hadn’t come down with a bout of pneumonia in 2009 that landed him in the doctor’s office.

“I went to the doctor and they gave me a complete physical,” the 67-year-old Lockport resident said. “That’s how they found out I had prostate cancer.

I had no symptoms. None.”

That same year, he lost his mother and sister to lung and colon cancer. He said he’s lucky to be alive – but he has his five grandsons, two brothers and a son-in-law to look out for.

“I don’t want none of them to go through what I had to go through. I’ve been cancer-free 587 days today,” he said Saturday.

Benge was among the more than 500 people who turned out on Saturday to the fourth annual ZERO Prostate Cancer Walk/Run fundraising event, held at Advanced Urology Associates, 1541 Riverboat Center Drive in Joliet.

It’s not just about raising money, but awareness, Benge said. One in seven men in the U.S. will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society. Nearly all men diagnosed in the early stages are likely to be disease-free after five years.

Prostate cancer kills more men than it should for being such a treatable cancer, said 62-year-old Roger Hileman, of Shorewood, who also attended Saturday’s event.

Yet, it remains a fairly taboo subject for men, he said. Fundraising events like the ones sponsored by ZERO help break those barriers.

“It’s hard because no guy wants to admit they have a problem,” Hileman said. “But the sooner you catch it, the

QUICK NEWS Barge hits barrier, but not Ruby Street bridge

JOLIET – A barge came close to hitting the Ruby Street bridge about 3 a.m. Friday, but hit a protective barrier instead.

The barge hit a concrete island built near the bridge to prevent collisions, Illinois Department of Transportation Spokesman Guy Tridgell said.

There was no damage to the

bridge or its operating systems and only scratches to the concrete island, Tridgell said.

An inspection was done later to determine the extent of the damage.

Past collisions involving barges and the downtown Joliet drawbridges caused damage that shut down the bridges for months for repairs.

Jefferson closure planned for Joliet railroad work JOLIET – On June 4, Jefferson Street will close east of Scott Street at the viaduct for railroad platform construction, Joliet’s police department is reminding residents.

Detour signs will be posted in the area, police said. To access Jefferson west of Eastern, between the viaduct and Eastern

Avenue, pedestrians and vehicle traffic will have to go north on Scott, turn right on Van Buren and then south on Mayor Art Schultz Drive to Jefferson.

Art Schultz Drive will be closed from Clinton south to Van Buren, police said. The closure likely is to cause heavy congestion downtown, especially during rush hour, police said.

Cancer survivor encourages checking vigilantly • WALK/RUN

Continued from page 3 better diagnosis and outcome you’ll have.”

Hileman said he encourages men to be vigilant when speaking with a primary care doctor. Request a PSA – or prostate specific antigen – blood test, he said. It’s a painless way to detect cancer early. It’s a best defense against what can be a silent killer in some cases, he said.

Hileman said his stage three prostate cancer diagnosis wasn’t really what he was expecting during a doctor’s appointment in early 2014.

“I didn’t drink. I didn’t smoke. I exercised. I ran,” Hileman said. “I didn’t think I would have it. But it can happen to anyone.”

David Gorman, of Crest Hill, painted his palm light blue – the color for prostate cancer awareness – in order to add his handprint to a display alongside other cancer survivors during Saturday’s event.

“Get checked. Get a yearly exam. Think of this way. If you’re OK, you won’t have to worry about it again for another year,” Gorman said.

was a performance from Nashville recording artist and American Idol season 9 contestant Jimmy Charles. The singer-songwriter said Saturday he recently penned a hit song titled “Superman,” in honor of prostate cancer survivors and patients across the U.S. Charles said much of the song is based on his conversations with Phil Shulka, a prostate cancer survivor and now

mentor for cancer patients, in the recording studio.

Cameron said this year’s fundraising goal is $75,000 at the Joliet event. All dollars raised are split 50/50 between the local community and national efforts to save lives by funding research, testing atrisk men and providing educational resources for men and families, according to the national ZERO organization.

Will, Grundy camps mix learning and fun

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Casey O’Connell says keeping children and teens active and learning throughout the summer is important to their quality of life.

At the Joliet Park District this summer, where O’Connell works as a recreation superintendent, youth will have plenty of options to keep themselves busy while school is out.

Throughout Will and Grundy counties, children can keep sharp through programs and activities offered by park districts and nonprofit organizations.

School districts will offer summer school sessions for students, typically for those who need additional help or look for new learning opportunities.

“During the summertime, it helps them keep busy and helps them keep learning throughout the summer,” O’Connell said.

Young people who do not engage in educational activities during the summer experience learning loss, experts say.

Research shows students score lower on standardized tests at the end of summer than they do in the beginning, according to the National Summer Learning Association.

Will County

Joliet Park District has several educational programs this summer for children and teens.

The park district also has camps for children covering field trips, athletics, nature and leadership opportunities.

“We have something for everyone here. We even have a special-needs camp,” O’Connell said.

From June 9 to 28, children ages 5 to 7 can prepare for kindergarten through the Academic Readiness for Kindergarten program, where they learn math concepts, reading, writing and science.

This month, the park district offered the Schoolhouse

Sandy Zalewski, District 86 spokeswoman, said school officials added a second session for elementary and junior high school because the district identified students who needed more schooling.

Through Camp Explore for elementary students, summer school classes will offer inhouse field trips, classroom instruction, camps and other activities, she said.

“It’s just to get kids excited about summer school to do academics,” she said.

Grundy County

Since opening in January, the Morris Community YMCA is excited to have a new facility and daily presence, Executive Director Missy Durkin said.

Summer sports camps, day camps and preschool camps are cornerstones of the YMCA, she said.

The camps offered by the YMCA this summer cover sports and fishing.

Durkin said these activities are important for children because they develop honesty, caring, respect and responsibility, which the YMCA advocates.

“They expose them to new and different experiences, team building … there’s educational opportunity that [you] can’t measure with a test-taking experience, but they definitely build character and relationships and those are available for kids,” she said.

The Channahon Park District will offer several camps this summer, offering cooking, computer programming, game design, archaeology and paleontology options.

The park district will also host a program for children ages 21⁄2 and 3 focusing on socializing and learning activities.

Joliet area organizations offer free meals to kids

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet-area children will have access to nutritious meals through the Summer Meals program offered at local schools, parks and churches.

Free meals will be offered at places such as the Galowich Family YMCA, Laraway School District 70-C, Mt. Zion Baptist Church, Pilcher Park Nature Center, Riegel Farm, The Salvation Army of Joliet and Second Baptist Food Pantry.

These organizations are partnering with Northern Illinois Food Bank to prevent children from low-income families from having poor nutrition during the summer months. The meals program is funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Gerry Mahalik, Laraway summer school program director, said the Joliet school district always has students who come to school hungry.

“You could go for seconds on meals [in this program] and we have a lot of kids that go for seconds,” Mahalik said.

“It just tells you ... they may not have as much food in their house.”

More than 2,300 sites statewide are expected to serve free meals, such as breakfast and lunch, to children and teens ages 18 and younger, according to the Illinois State Board of Education. State officials said at more than half the sites, children and teens will not have to apply or show proof of family income to receive a meal.

Families can search for places offering free meals at summerfeedingillinois.org or text the words “FoodIL” in English or “AlimentosIL” in Spanish to 877-877. After texting, they will need to send their ZIP code to receive the address and serving times of the closest summer meal sites, according to ISBE. Families also can call the Illinois Hunger Coalition’s hotline at 800-359-2163.

In 2013, the summer meals program served about 107,000 children, only 14 percent of the almost 775,000 children who ate free or reduced-priced

Mahalik said the summer meals program helps feed children in the Laraway school district, since many of them rely on those meals. According to the Illinois Report Card, 85.9 percent of students at Laraway came from low-income families. She said it’s a great program with nutritious food.

“You just don’t realize how people struggle to put food on the table,” Mahalik said, adding, “… When you’re hungry, this really helps out.”

Amber Coates, community center director of The Salvation Army of Joliet, said because of poverty on the East Side of Joliet, children are unable to secure healthy food.

“The meals from Northern Illinois Food Bank are healthy meals. Instead of eating Flamin’ Hot [Cheetos] or cookies, they can come here and have a healthy meal,” Coates said.

Silver Cross Field, Levin said.

“You guys have a unique, hard-to-find asset,” Levin told the committee. “You can find out if there’s a buyer willing to pay a price the city would find desirable.”

He noted the city could conduct an auction and reserve the right to reject all bids.

Semaca, however, said he feared what an auction would do to the market for baseball in Joliet.

“We quite frankly are very open to selling the stadium if you can find a buyer,” Semaca said. “What we don’t want to do is create an atmosphere where the fans think the team is at risk.”

Semaca’s comments prompted Councilwoman Jan Quillman to emphasize the city is not in the process of selling Silver Cross Field.

“Just so the rumor mill doesn’t get started, we are not selling the baseball team anytime soon,” Quillman said.

“Just exploring options is what we’re looking at.”

Councilman Jim McFarland, who wants the city to explore a sale of the stadium, called Silver Cross Field “a drain on the public coffers financially. I think we need to minimize that.”

McFarland and Councilman Larry Hug called for the city to explore opportunities to sell Silver Cross Field after a controversial vote in March to spend $361,000 for a new video scoreboard.

Slammers owners have said they are not interested in buying the stadium now. One issue they would face is the cost of property taxes, which are not levied on the stadium while it is under public ownership.

JOLIET – The majority owner of the Joliet Slammers warned city officials they could “kill” minor league baseball in town if they put Silver Cross Field on the auction block.

Silver Cross Field is not for sale.

But two Joliet City Council members have said the city, which owns the stadium, should explore options.

The council’s Land Use and Legislative Committee considered the matter Thursday and heard from an auctioneer who recently put the home stadium of the Rockford Aviators up for auction.

Nick Semaca, president and majority owner of the Slammers, implored the committee not to pursue an auction.

“I would be deathly scared of introducing a risk that could kill baseball in this town,” Semaca told the committee.

Semaca said the Slammers are not opposed to a sale of the stadium, but he believes the auction of the Rockford Aviators’ stadium is destroying that team, one of the Slammers’ rivals in the Frontier League.

He said attendance for Aviators games is down from an average of 1,608 a year ago to 643 this year, while the team has lost only one game and is the “cream of the Frontier League.”

“I would bet Rockford’s team is going to die. You can’t survive on those kind of numbers,” he said.

Semaca noted the auction has not resulted in a sale of the stadium.

Auctioneer Rick Levin said while a sale has not been made, the bank that owns the stadium is negotiating with potential buyers.

An auction would be one way to explore the market for

And in the sixth month of membership, Edmondson visits the business and inquires whether owners have attended any Chamber events.

Chamber members and ambassadors also reach out in the ninth, 10th and 11th months of membership, with a survey offered at the end.

“We’re always pushing them to attend Chamber events,” Edmondson said, adding that events such as the “New Member Breakfast” on Wednesday also encourage retention.

Kitson said the Chamber’s goal isn’t just to increase membership, but to get businesses more involved with other local businesses and the community.

“We want to get our members active and help them create those partnerships,” she said.

PLAINFIELD – One of Tasha Kitson’s goals for the Plainfield Area Chamber of Commerce when she became executive director two years ago was to surpass the 600-member mark by Christmas of 2014.

“We missed it, but not by much,” she said.

The Chamber broke that mark this month, with the final member- Mari ship count ex- Edmondson pected to hover around 612 members by the end of May. Along with keeping members active, the mark is important because it suggests members are attending events and keeping active in the community.

Kitson said Mari Edmondson’s work as membership relations director was one of the main drivers for the milestone

achievement.

Edmondson left her previous post as executive director of the Romeoville Area Chamber of Commerce at the end of last year and was hired at the Plainfield Chamber in January.

“We hired her full time to help with the retention portion of our membership,” Kitson said.

Edmondson said the Chamber had struggled to surpass the 600-member mark.

“One of my top priorities is to keep the membership group, and another is to retain members,” Edmondson said.

“Your Chamber is only as good as its members.”

Edmondson said experience has shown her the first year is a key component in membership retention.

So she put in place a “seven-touch” communication system with new member businesses to encourage them to stay in the Chamber once signed up. New members first get a list of events.

The second step involves a

Drug drop backed up

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Police Department has temporarily dropped its pharmaceutical dropbox program because of a backlog of drug disposals and projected costs due to new federal regulations.

The dropbox, located in the police department building lobby at 14300 S. Coil Plus Drive, was part of the Will County Medication Take Back Program. Plainfield police planned to suspend participation in the program Sunday.

The dropbox was for collection of old or unneeded pharmaceuticals, including non-prescription and prescription drugs. But Cmdr. Kevin Greco said people have also dropped off controlled substances, and the department couldn’t keep up with separation and disposal of drugs.

“Currently sitting in our storage is approximately 700 pounds of pharmaceutical drugs that need to get destroyed,” Greco said. “That’s why we needed to get a break,

to catch up.”

Greco also said the federal Drug Enforcement Administration changed its regulations, eventually transferring responsibility for disposal costs to the police department.

“If there was a large seizure of marijuana, we can account for disposal in our own budget,” Greco said. “But when we’re taking on the added expense of disposing pharmaceuticals for residents, it gets out of control pretty quick.”

Greco said the estimated one-year cost of pharmaceutical destruction through the program was $10,000. That doesn’t take into account additional salary and overtime costs.

“We hope to bring the program back after we do some homework and figure out a good solution,” Greco said.

Drop-off locations for prescription and nonprescription drugs can be found at www. willcountygreen.com.

Locations for drop off of controlled substances can be found at www.deadiversion. usdoj.gov.

MORRIS – Those interested in seeing how Morris Police Department officers perform their jobs will have the chance in August.

The Morris Police Department is looking for people interested in participating in the 2015 Morris Police Department Citizen’s Police Academy. The 22nd academy begins in August and applications must be received by July 15.

Many officers with various areas of expertise will participate, Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said. The academy previously has used crime scene investigators and sometimes the Illinois State Police, in addition to Morris officers, to showcase all facets of police work.

“We try to make it contemporary to what’s going on year-to-year,” Dite said.

Some of the topics covered or demonstrated include department history, juvenile and criminal law, the Fourth Amendment, traffic stops, Internet and social networking crimes and scams, crime scene investigations and K-9 units.

The program’s structure is updated as often as possible, Dite said, especially as Internet crimes and scams evolve.

“We try to inform people what we can and

can’t do,” Dite said. “We can’t fly to Brazil, for example, to investigate a scam. But we show people how we pass it along to the appropriate authorities.”

Dite said traditionally the traffic stop class has drawn great interest, as people learn what constitutes a citation and what doesn’t. Building search demonstrations are another highlight, he said.

For the first time, the Morris Police Department will use its own K-9 unit, featuring Officer Patrick Funk and his drug-detecting Dutch shepherd, Talon.

“The K-9 demonstration is one of the top ones,” Dite said. “People are always amazed by the work of K-9 units.”

In the past, Dite said the class incorporated Grundy County K-9 units.

According to the department’s news release, the Citizen’s Police Academy is designed to give participants a working knowledge of the Morris Police Department. It consists of a series of eight classes, held in the evening, once a week for an hour and a half each evening.

Participants must be at least 18 years old and have some affiliation with the City of Morris, such as by occupation, residency or organization.

Anyone interested in participating or learning more can contact Deputy Police Chief John Severson at 815-942-2131. Applications can be downloaded at www.morrispolice.org or picked up at the Morris Police Department.

Police stake out Dunkin’ Donuts for fundraiser “It comes from the heart, so doing this isn’t much work.”

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com

and LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Police vehicles with lights flashing surrounded Friday morning the Dunkin’ Donuts drive-thru lane in Morris.

Despite appearances, police weren’t there fighting crime: They were raising money for Special Olympics Illinois.

“The word has gotten out that we are going to be here each year and people now make it a point to come out,” Morris police Patrolman Derek Zumbahlen said after climbing off the roof of the building, waving people in as part of a statewide fundraising campaign called “Cop on a Rooftop.”

Nearly 200 police officers statewide took part in the 13th annual Law Enforcement Torch Run event.

Joliet police Officer Dwayne English stood outside the Dunkin’ Donuts on Jefferson Street in Joliet, trading free doughnuts and coffee coupons for dollars. He said he doesn’t mind the cops-love-doughnuts stereotype – when it’s for a

Minooka police Patrolman Ken Briley holds the door open for Jackie Seeman as she exits Dunkin’ Donuts during the annual Cop on Top fundraising campaign Friday in Minooka. Police officers all across the state manned Dunkin’ Donuts locations from 5 a.m. to 2 p.m. to help raise money for Special Olympics Illinois. good cause. Collins said he’s personally invested in this event. His 15-year-old son has Down syndrome.

“It comes from the heart, so doing this isn’t much work,”

English said. “We’ve been doing this for years.”

At the Joliet location, English said he and other officers had raised about $3,500 since opening at 5 a.m.

In Morris, Zumbahlen said the police raised more than $1,800 between 5 and 10 a.m.

At each location statewide, police had a limited supply of travel mugs, which were hand-

ed out to those making donations of $10 or more.

Anyone who donated received a coupon for a free doughnut. As contributors joked about cops giving up their doughnuts, most told them to keep the coupons.

They just wanted to donate to the cause.

Sue Johnson of Joliet said she had no idea the police were collecting for the Special Olympics, but she was happy to donate.

Zumbahlen said the cause is even closer to his heart now after attending the Special Olympics summer games a couple of years ago, where he got to hand out medals.

“It was very humbling to see it firsthand,” he said. “I look at it a lot different now that I see the impact it has on the athletes.”

Lemont library sets August target for start of renovations

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – The Lemont Public Library Board has approved final design plans for major renovations to its facility, including building an addition for a meeting room and reorganizing interior space.

Library Director Sandra Pointon said trustees hope to go out to bid June 15 on the project, so construction can begin in August.

Pointon said preliminary estimates have the project taking seven months to complete. Lemont voters approved a referendum in November allowing the library to issue $2.8 million in bonds to pay for the renovations.

Pointon said starting the project in August would lower project costs, because the library will not have to compete with school projects for construction companies and materials.

Pointon said the final design plans do not significantly differ from conceptual plans presented before the referendum.

“The big changes – the addition and more meeting space – all the things we hoped to accomplish with the project, have been included,” she said.

She said the library plans to have renovations done in three phases. The first phase would involve building the new meeting room to the east of the entrance and moving the staff and checkout desk into the former meeting room to the west of the entrance.

The second phase would involve remodeling the children’s department and creating a teen department near the current checkout desk.

Children’s materials would be located in the newly built meeting room.

I GOT it!”

Lasting Relief from Lower Back Pain

Without Surgery!

Know more The Lemont Public Library Board of Trustees will hold a meeting at 7 p.m. June 2 at the library, 50 E. Wend St., for presentations on the library renovation design plans and project budget estimates.

The third phase would reorganize the adult department, including creating a quiet reading room on the library’s south end.

The final plan includes projects not included in the conceptual plans, such as a new external materials dropbox and remodeled public bathrooms.

Pointon said the dropbox will be located on an island on the northwest end of the parking lot to allow for better traffic flow. The bathrooms would be remodeled between the first and second phases of the renovations. Pointon said she hopes to have minimal disruptions to service hours, though closures may be unavoidable at certain stages. For instance, the library may need to be closed for a week or two while the bathrooms are remodeled.

She said the small staff bathrooms would not accommodate the public.

Also starting Aug. 1, the library will no longer take reservations for its meeting room. Pointon said the meeting room would not be available for public meetings or library programs until the third phase of renovations.

Though the new meeting room would be ready after the first phase, Pointon said she will have to choose between having a meeting space or keeping children’s materials available.

“If something has to give, it would be the programming,” she said.

“Now everybody is guessing who it is. This puts a cloud over what was a pretty special time for people.”

By DON BABWIN, MICHAEL KUNZELMAN and JASON KEYSER The Associated Press

Bob Evans Dennis Hastert’s assistant wrestling coach

Diners at the Silver Dollar Restaurant talk about former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert in his hometown of Yorkville on Saturday. ing Boy Scouts camping and fishing in northern Minnesota.

“This puts a cloud over what was a pretty special time for people.”

Evans said there was never a hint of wrongdoing and that he was angry that someone would accuse Hastert without coming forward publicly.

Hastert’s legacy is visible in this small Fox River town about 45 miles southwest of Chicago. There’s the renovated historic courthouse and a forest preserve that both received money Hastert helped bring back from Washington.

Former students say he left an intangible imprint, too, on their lives. Mindful of that record, residents expressed disbelief and confusion at the claims.

Neal Ament, 66, was a senior at Yorkville High School when Hastert arrived in 1965 from nearby Plano to teach history and economics and coach the wrestling team. Ament said the team won the conference in his first season as head coach.

“Our team was just a bunch of floundering farm boys. He came and whipped us into shape,” Ament recalled in a phone interview Friday. “He taught us moves and the science behind wrestling that we never knew before.”

He was as memorable in the classroom, said Ament, who still lives in the Yorkville area and has occasionally run into Hastert at a local hardware store.

“Hopefully this will end up being a big misunderstand-

She married Jens Wallin on February 7, 1948 in Lemont. They lived most of their married life farming in the Minooka area. After her husband passed away she moved to Morris in 1993.

Survived by her children, Patricia (Richard) Kubinski of Joliet, Jens Michael (Cheryl) Wallin of Minooka and Jan (Diane) Wallin of Yorkville; nine grandchildren; fifteen great grandchildren; several nieces and nephews.

Preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Jens in 1971; and her brothers and sisters.

She was a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church.

Anna enjoyed playing bingo, doing crossword puzzles, knitting, crocheting, Chicago Cubs fan,

listening to Johnny Cash music and spending time with her family and grandchildren.

Private funeral services will be held at Fruland Funeral Home, 121 W. Jefferson St., in Morris with Rev. Edward J. Howe, CR officiating. Interment will follow in St. Mary’s Cemetery in Minooka.

Born August 26, 1921, in Lemont, she was the daughter of Stephen and Anna (Hoffmeyer) Homerding. She graduated from Lemont High School.

ing,” he said.

The federal indictment announced Thursday accused Hastert of agreeing to pay $3.5 million to keep a person from the suburban Chicago town silent about “prior misconduct,” but the court papers did not detail the wrongdoing. A person familiar with the allegations said Friday that the Illinois Republican is accused of sexually molesting someone decades ago.

The person spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing and those specific allegations are not contained in the indictment.

Hastert has not responded to phone calls and emails from the AP seeking comment. No lawyer had come forward publicly by Saturday afternoon to represent him.

He currently lives in Plano.

He and his wife, Jean, have two sons.

YORKVILLE – Before he was U.S. House speaker and second in line to the president, Dennis Hastert was known around Yorkville, Illinois, as Denny the coach, a beloved mentor to youths on the high school wrestling team and in local Scouting groups who organized trips to broaden the students’ experiences.

This week’s indictment accusing Hastert of manipulating bank accounts and lying to the FBI to allegedly cover up past “misconduct” has left hometown admirers searching back through fond memories and struggling to understand how alleged sexual abuse and extortion could have emerged from that period.

Many former wrestlers and Yorkville-area residents who spoke to The Associated Press since the indictment on Thursday spoke only warmly of Hastert, some athletes saying Hastert was a father figure as he guided them to championships.

They couldn’t recall anything suspicious about the trips, including ones to the Bahamas and Canada. And none had a clue about who could have made such accusations against the coach.

“Now everybody is guessing who it is,” said Bob Evans, Hastert’s assistant wrestling coach, who joined him in tak-

in Yorkville until 1981 and was a Boy Scouts of America volunteer for 17 years over that period, leading what was then called Explorer Post 540.

Bob Corwin, a close friend, was one of the other adults accompanying Hastert and the teens on some of the Scout trips, including to the Grand Canyon. He said when they were in the Bahamas they all stayed in the same cabin.

“We were all in there together,” he said Saturday at the judo club where he has taught for decades. “I never knew nothing about anything going on” that was improper.

Evans, Hastert’s fellow coach, recalled one trip where he, Hastert and a Japanese exchange student shared a tent.

“The only thing he did was snore like a gorilla,” he said of Hastert. “We were always all together. There was no sneaking around from tent to tent.”

Daniel Zedan, council commissioner for the St. Charles, Illinois-based Boy Scout Council 127, said national Boy Scout officials have asked the local council to look for records associated with Hastert’s tenure as a volunteer in Yorkville. But no complaints have been brought to their attention, he said.

Zedan said the councils that oversaw the Explorer post in Yorkville have merged with others over the years.

“Each time there’s a merger, stuff is boxed up and put away.”

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP News from across the state

1

Illinois lawmakers scurry through bills; but no budget deal

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois lawmakers scurried through a long to-do list Saturday as the spring-session clock winds down, but there was little mention of the biggest obstacle standing in the way of concluding their business – a budget deficit of at least $3 billion.

A day after Gov. Bruce Rauner challenged legislative Democrats to work through the weekend to seal a deal before Sunday’s scheduled adjournment, the Republican was in the Capitol but his staff would not say what he was doing. Rauner is willing to consider a tax increase in exchange for business-friendly reforms he says are critical to recharging the state’s economy.

Majority Democrats in the General Assembly didn’t let the stalemate stand in the way of moving substantial legislation. They approved a plan to equip police officers with body cameras following protests over the deaths of black men during encounters with police including Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore.

There were no olive branches in sight when Democrats rammed through an extraordinary measure that would prohibit state government employees from striking – or a management lockout. They said Rauner’s anti-union rhetoric and intransigence on contract negotiations – seeking deep concessions from the state’s largest workers union – suggest he’s itching for a strike and a highly disruptive government shutdown.

Republicans criticized the union strike ban, which would apply to current negotiations over the labor pact that expires June 30.

It would require through 2019 that a contract-negotiation

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said during a press conference Friday at the Executive Mansion in Springfield that he won’t call a special session to solve the remaining differences in budget talks with Democrats, but will ask for “good-faith” negotiations to continue.

impasse trigger intervention by an independent arbitrator, who would decide the issues and settle the contract.

Bill to lower Chicago pension payments for 5 years advances

SPRINGFIELD – A bill that supporters say gives Chicago some “breathing room” in making payments to its police and fire pension funds has advanced in the Illinois Legislature.

The Illinois House and a Senate committee approved legislation Saturday to reduce Chicago’s annual mandatory payment for the next five years. The bill now goes to the Senate floor.

Chicago’s payments to the two funds were set to jump from about $300 million this year to roughly $840 million next year.

The legislation sets the 2016 payment at about $620 million.

Democratic Rep. Barbara Flynn

Currie of Chicago said the city still must fund its pensions and without the legislation Chicago residents face “a certain tax hike.”

Illinois still refining rape kit rules after infamous cases

CHICAGO – The problem of mishandled or ignored rape kits persists nearly a decade after some were discovered gathering dust at the Harvey police department, and Illinois lawmakers are still trying to find ways to give victims justice – or at least peace of mind.

Last month, the Illinois Legislature passed a bill that would change the timeframe during which rape charges can be brought, moving it from when the crime is committed to when the evidence is tested. Bill sponsor Sen. Michael Noland, D-Elgin, said the bill is particularly important

because it helps women who were victimized first by their attackers and again by the indifference of authorities.

“This says we are going to make sure that justice is done no matter how long it takes,” he said. Gov. Bruce Rauner has not yet signed the legislation.

Five years ago, Illinois became one of the first states to pass legislation requiring all law enforcement agencies to submit rape kits within 10 days of when the medical evidence was collected.

Marijuana could treat PTSD under legislation

SPRINGFIELD – Post-traumatic stress disorder would be considered a debilitating illness that can be treated with medically prescribed marijuana under legislation headed to Gov. Bruce Rauner.

The House approved state Rep.

Lou Lang’s measure 68-36 on Saturday. The Skokie Democrat says marijuana can help people suffering from PTSD. Studies indicate that marijuana can help with memory extinction necessary to eliminate PTSD symptoms. Federal authorities point to other research that it could harm patients.

Rockford police train officers to deal with mentally ill

ROCKFORD – Rockford police say more than half of their officers are specially trained to deal with the mentally ill.

Assistant Deputy Rockford Police Chief Pat Hoey told the Rockford Register Star that the police are crisis intervention team officers. They have completed a 40-hour course certifying them to help those suffering a mental health crisis.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Activists say Syrian army strikes kill 70 in Aleppo

BEIRUT – Syrian army airstrikes killed at least 70 people, most of them civilians, and wounded scores in attacks Saturday in the northern province of Aleppo that struck civilian areas, including a packed market in a town held by the Islamic State group, activists said.

The deaths occurred in two separate incidents when helicopters dropped explosives-filled barrels. One barrel hit the rebel-held Shaar neighborhood of the city of Aleppo, killing at least 12 people, most of them from the same family.

The other attack was far deadlier, hitting a busy market known as Souk al-Hal in the Islamic State-held town of alBab in Aleppo’s countryside. The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said at least 59 people were killed and dozens wounded, calling it the one of the worst massacres perpetrated by President Bashar Assad’s army this year. It said the number of dead likely would rise.

Baltimore sees its 40th homicide in May

BALTIMORE – A man fatally shot in Baltimore is the city’s 40th homicide victim this month, a record month for slayings.

Police say they were called about 8:45 p.m. Friday for reported gunshots. When they arrived, officers found a man

shot in the underarm. Police spokeswoman Lt. Sarah Connolly said Saturday that 23-year-old Justin Mensuphu-Bey died about an hour later.

Arrests have dropped sharply in Baltimore since Freddie Gray died on April 19 of injuries he suffered in police custody.

Homicides were increasing in Baltimore even before Gray’s death. But the 40 slayings in May mark a major spike, after 22 in April, 15 in March, 13 in February and 23 in January.

New rains for soggy Houston area

ROSENBERG, Texas – The seemingly ceaseless rain swept across areas of soggy Texas again on Saturday although new serious flooding appeared to be avoided.

At least 31 people have been killed in storms that began in Texas and Oklahoma over Memorial Day weekend.

Twenty-seven of the deaths have been in Texas alone, and 11 people were still missing Saturday.

As much as 3½ inches of rain fell Saturday afternoon and evening in Houston, feeding fears of renewed flooding.

Officials said bayous were responding well and no new evacuations were ordered or recommended in low-lying and riverfront areas of Southeast Texas outside the nation’s fourth-largest city.

President Barack Obama speaks to media Friday as he meets with Attorney General Loretta Lynch in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington. The president said a “handful of senators” are the only thing standing in the way of an extension of key Patriot Act provisions before they expire at midnight Sunday.

Disagreement over impact if U.S. surveillance laws do expire

By KEN DILANIAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Barring a last-minute deal in Congress, three post-Sept. 11 surveillance laws used against suspected spies and terrorists are set to expire as Sunday turns into Monday.

Will that make Americans less secure?

Absolutely, Obama administration officials say.

Nonsense, counter civil liberties activists.

Even if senators set to meet in an unusual Sunday session agree to advance a Housepassed bill that extends the programs, one lawmaker says he will use his right to delay a final vote and let the powers lapse once midnight arrives.

“We do not need to give up who we are to defeat” terrorists, said GOP Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky, a 2016 presidential candidate. “There has to be another way,” he said Saturday in a statement and on Twitter, pledging to force the expiration of an “illegal spy program.”

While there are compelling arguments on both sides, fail-

ure to pass legislation would mean new barriers for the government in domestic national security investigations, at a time when intelligence officials say the threat at home is growing.

“If these provisions expire, counterterrorism investigators are going to have greater restrictions on them than ordinary law enforcement investigators,” said Nathan Sales, a Syracuse University law professor and former Justice Department official in the George W. Bush administration.

Until now, much of the debate has focused on the National Security Agency’s collection of Americans’ telephone calling records. This collection was authorized under one of the expiring provisions, Section 215 of the Patriot Act. Independent evaluations have cast doubt on that program’s importance, and even law enforcement officials say in private that losing this ability would not carry severe consequences.

Yet the fight over those records has jeopardized other surveillance programs that have broad, bipartisan sup-

port and could fall victim to congressional gridlock.

The FBI uses Section 215 to collect other business records tied to specific terrorism investigations. A separate section in the Patriot Act allows the FBI to eavesdrop, via wiretaps, on suspected terrorists or spies who discard phones to dodge surveillance. A third provision, targeting “lone wolf” attackers, has never been used and thus may not be missed if it lapses.

Government and law enforcement officials, including Attorney General Loretta Lynch and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, have said in recent days that letting the wiretap and business records provisions expire would undercut the FBI’s ability to investigate terrorism and espionage.

Lynch said it would mean “a serious lapse in our ability to protect the American people.” Clapper said in a statement Friday that prompt passage by the Senate of the House bill “is the best way to minimize any possible disruption of our ability to protect the American people.”

Oklahoma man shot, killed by police after fight over rescue 27 Timmons said a weapon was recovered from one of the suspects, but it wasn’t immediately known which man had the weapon or whether

shots were fired at the troopers.

The second man was arrested for assault and public intoxication, Timmons said.

OKMULGEE, Okla. – An Oklahoma state trooper fatally shot a man who was involved in a fight with two troopers who were trying to rescue him and another man from floodwaters, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol said Saturday.

The troopers responded to a report of a stranded vehicle in Okmulgee County, about 20 miles south of Tulsa, about 9:30 p.m. Friday. They found two men trying to remove a vehicle from a roadway over which water was rising and moving quickly, according to Capt. Paul Timmons.

“They were trying to get them to come out of the water. They were worried about them getting swept away,” Timmons said. “[The men], for whatever reason, were just really upset about having to leave the vehicle there.”

At least one man attacked a trooper after reaching dry land and was shot and killed.

It wasn’t immediately known how many shots were fired or

whether one or both troopers shot.

“It’s not real clear how it all transpired,” according to Timmons.

in New Hampshire on Sunday, remains largely unknown in a field dominated by Clinton.

Already in the race is Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who could be O’Malley’s main rival for the support of the Democratic left.

An ally of former President Bill Clinton, O’Malley was the second governor to endorse Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign in 2007. But he made clear that he thinks Democrats deserve a choice in the 2016 primary.

“The presidency is not a crown to be passed back and forth ... between two royal families,” O’Malley said. “It is a sacred trust to be earned from the people of the United States, and exercised on behalf of the peo-

ple of the United States.”

He pointed to recent news reports that Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein would be “fine” with either Clinton or former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a leading Republican contender and the son and brother of presidents, in the White House.

It was a forceful message that O’Malley will focus on overhauling the financial system, a priority for liberals opposed to the bailouts of Wall Street banks.

“Tell me how it is, that not a single Wall Street CEO was convicted of a crime related to the 2008 economic meltdown?

Not a single one,” O’Malley said. “Tell me how it is, that you can get pulled over for a

broken tail light, but if you wreck the nation’s economy you are untouchable?”

Aides said O’Malley called Hillary Clinton on Friday to tell her he was running. By Saturday afternoon, Clinton had tweeted, “Welcome to the race, Gov. O’Malley. Looking forward to discussing strong families and communities.”

The 52-year-old O’Malley has spoken often about the economic challenges facing the nation and said he would bring new leadership, progressive values and the ability to accomplish things.

“We are allowing our land of opportunity to be turned into a land of inequality,” he told the crowd.

DAVENPORT, Iowa – Former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley entered the Democratic presidential race on Saturday in a longshot challenge to Hillary Rodham Clinton for the 2016 nomination, casting himself as a new generation leader who would rebuild the economy and reform Wall Street.

“I’m running for you,” he told a crowd of about 1,000 people in a populist message at Federal Hill Park in Baltimore, where he served as mayor before two terms as governor.

O’Malley said was drawn into the campaign “to rebuild the truth of the American dream for all Americans.”

Following his announcement, O’Malley promptly head-

ed to Iowa, where he is seeking to become the primary alternative to Clinton in the leadoff caucus state. Before more than 50 people at a union hall in Davenport, he touted his executive experience and called for economic reforms, drawMartin ing enthusiastic O’Malley applause.

“We are still in just as grave a danger of having Wall Street excesses wreck our economy again and there’s not a need for it. When wealth concentrates as it has, it also concentrates and collects power and we have to retake control of our own government,” said O’Malley, who has made frequent visits to Iowa in recent months.

talks month before deadline

By BRADLEY KLAPPER The Associated Press

GENEVA – A month away from a nuclear deal deadline, U.S. and Iranian diplomats tried to narrow differences over how quickly to ease economic penalties against Tehran and how significantly the Iranians must open up military facilities to international inspections. American officials described the session as “at times intense.”

The talks between U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif lasted six hours, in what officials described as the most substantive negotiating round since world powers and Iran clinched a framework pact in April.

Last month’s agreement left big questions unanswered, which weeks of subsequent technical discussions have done little to resolve. It was unclear how much progress Kerry and Zarif made before

the Iranian delegation began leaving for Tehran, or if they fully rediscovered their momentum.

Asked about completing the full accord by June 30, Zarif said, “We will try.”

His deputy, Abbas Aragchi, said lower-level officials would meet again in Vienna next week.

U.S. officials provided hints of what must have been a difficult dialogue, but said the encounter ultimately proved fruitful. American members of the negotiating team were not authorized to discuss publicly the private talks and spoke only on condition of anonymity.

World powers believe they have secured Iran’s acquiescence to a combination of nuclear restrictions that would fulfill their biggest goal: keeping Iran at least a year away from bomb-making capability for at least a decade. But they are less clear about how they will ensure Iran fully adheres to any agreement.

32 U.S., Iran hold ‘intense’ nuclear

No tsunamis predicted

By MARI YAMAGUCHI The Associated Press

AP photo

Japanese soccer fans react to a strong earthquake Saturday as they watch a J-League soccer match between the Shonan Bellmare and the Sanfrecce Hiroshima at BMW Stadium in Hiratsuka, southwest of Tokyo. A powerful and extremely deep earthquake struck a group of remote Japanese islands and shook Tokyo on Saturday, but officials said there was no danger of a tsunami, and no injuries or damage were immediately reported.

Saitama prefecture, just north of the capital, were without power, according to the Tokyo

Electric Power Co. On Sunday morning, a strong magnitude-6.4 earth-

broadcaster NHK. Yoshiyuki Sasamoto, a municipal official on Chichijima island, which is part of the Ogasawara island group, told NHK that he initially felt a mild tremor, but when he thought it was over “there was a violent shaking and I couldn’t even stand on my feet.”

At an inn on the Ogasawara island of Hahajima, furniture shook violently, although nothing fell or broke, innkeeper Michiko Orita told NHK. “It was so frightening. The entire house shook and a Buddhist altar violently swayed like I have never experienced before,” she said, adding that all her guests were safe.

The meteorological agency did not issue a tsunami warning because the quake struck so far beneath the earth’s surface. Deep offshore earthquakes usually do not cause tsunamis, and generally cause less damage than shallow ones.

In March 2011, a magnitude-9.0 earthquake rocked northeastern Japan, triggering a tsunami that killed more than 18,500 people and ravaged much of the northern Pacific coast. The depth of that quake was just 15 miles, according to the meteorological agency.

Putin shut out from G-7 meeting, but not much else

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Russia’s Vladimir Putin won’t be on the guest list when President Barack Obama and other world leaders assemble in Germany next week, as part of the punishment for alleged Kremlin-supported aggression in Ukraine.

Yet the Russian president remains a central player in international affairs, including the U.S.-led nuclear talks with Iran, even with the pledge by Western leaders to try to isolate Putin while the crisis in Ukraine persists.

Just this month, German Chancellor Angela Merkel was in Moscow for talks with Putin and Secretary of State John Kerry went to Sochi to confer

with him. Putin and British Prime Minister David Cameron spoke by telephone in recent days and agreed to resume talks aimed at ending Syria’s civil war, where Putin’s cooperation also is crucial.

U.S. officials say the engagement is limited to areas where Moscow and the West have shared interests. Outreach to Putin on such matters, officials argue, should not be seen as a sign that the West has accepted the status quo in Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists continue to stoke instability.

“It makes sense to cooperate where there is a clear mutual interest as long as you’re not being asked to back off matters of principle that matter to the security and well-being of your country and your allies and

your friends,” Vice President Joe Biden said Wednesday.

Some analysts say the West risks sending mixed signals to Ukraine, where the government has been pushing for more support. Matthew Rojanksy, a Wilson Center expert on the former Soviet states, said there is “growing disappointment” in Ukraine about what officials there see as the West’s “pale commitment” to protecting its sovereignty.

“They are all deeply worried that the United States will throw them under the bus to make a grand bargain with Putin,” Rojanksy wrote in an email from Kiev, where he was meeting with government officials and civil society groups.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine escalated last year when the Kremlin-backed

president in Kiev fled amid protests. Pro-Russian separatists moved to take over the strategically important Crimean Peninsula, which Russia later annexed.

The West doesn’t recognize that move. But the U.S. and Europe largely have given up on Russia’s returning the area to Ukraine. Instead, the West has focused on Moscow’s threatening moves in eastern Ukraine, the site of months of clashes between government forces and rebels that Kiev says are backed by Moscow. A fragile cease-fire agreed to in February has been violated repeatedly.

The West wielded the threat of diplomatic isolation as a punishment for Russia based in part on the belief that Putin values being seen as a big glob-

al player. He has tried to use the West’s actions to bolster Russian nationalism and his own popularity at home.

On Thursday, Putin suggested that the U.S. corruption investigation into soccer’s governing body was part of an attempt to take the 2018 World Cup away from Russia. He also accused the U.S. of seeking to “illegally persecute” people.

The West’s clearest pressure point is the Russian economy.

The ruble has stabilized after a dramatic freefall last year that was attributed to both falling oil prices and the West’s economic penalties. Still, Russia’s economy remains shaky.

It appears unlikely, however, that the U.S. and Europe will toughen sanctions without a major increase in Russian aggression.

TOKYO – A powerful earthquake struck near remote Japanese islands and shook most of the country Saturday evening, but it occurred well beneath the earth’s surface and did not trigger a tsunami warning. Several people suffered non-life-threatening injuries, and there were no reports of deaths or major damage.

The magnitude-8.5 offshore quake struck off the Ogasawara islands at a depth of 370 miles, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake had a magnitude of 7.8 and a depth of 421 miles.

The temblor was powerful enough to rattle most of Japan, from the southern islands of Okinawa to Hokkaido in the north. It caused buildings to sway in Tokyo – about 620 miles north of the Ogasawara islands – and temporarily disrupted some train services in the city. About 400 houses in

quake struck off of Japan’s Izu islands, which are north of the Ogasawara islands, the U.S. Geological Survey said. It struck at a depth of eight miles with its epicenter 390 miles south-southeast of Tokyo.

The earthquake was not strong enough to generate a tsunami warning or close enough to the islands to cause any significant damage or injuries, said John Bellini, a geophysicist with the U.S.G.S. in Golden, Colorado. He said it is considered a separate seismic event and not an aftershock to the magnitude-8.5 quake that struck hours earlier.

Late Saturday, at Tokyo’s Roppongi Hills shopping and business complex, elevators stopped soon after the magnitude-8.5 earthquake struck the area, forcing hundreds of visitors to climb down the stairs.

Among them were about 200 people who came to see the Star Wars exhibit on the 52nd floor.

In Saitama, a woman in her 70s sustained a minor head injury when a ceramic plate fell from a cupboard, local police said. In Kawasaki, just south of Tokyo, a 56-year-old office worker fell down when the quake caught him by surprise and suffered a rib injury, according to Japanese public

NIGERIA

Suicide bomber, rocket grenades kill 30 people

By HARUNA UMAR The Associated Press MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – A suicide bomb blast outside a mosque and rocket-propelled grenades that exploded into homes as people slept killed at least 30 people in the Nigerian city of Maiduguri on Saturday, residents and officials said.

The explosion killed people who were prostrating themselves for afternoon prayers outside the mosque, including traders from the nearby crowded marketplace in the largest city in Nigeria’s troubled northeast, survivors said.

Trader Ali Bakomi said the bomber was pushing a wheelbarrow and pretending to be an itinerant trader when he joined them.

Borno state Gov. Kashim Shettima toured the scene where one wall was reduced to rubble and another was splattered with blood. Officials told him the bomber killed himself and 16 other people.

Earlier Saturday, rocket-propelled grenades killed at least 13 others in the city and injured more, according to resident Idrissa Mandara.

Such grenades are a new tactic that has brought terror to the city that is the birthplace of Boko Haram.

Mari Madu, another resident, said he counted 40 thunderous blasts that began around 1 a.m. before he lost count.

“Each time they fired into the town, we saw bright, sparkling flashes which moved with great speed. ...

One of the blasts shook my roof so badly that I thought it must have landed on my house,” he said.

Several homes were destroyed in the suburb Dala-Lawanti, about 12 miles west of the city center, he said.

He counted 13 people killed in his compound: six men, five children and two

“Each time they fired into the town, we saw bright, sparkling flashes which moved with great speed. ... One of the blasts shook my roof so badly that I thought it must have landed on my house.”

Muhammadu Buhari vowed to crush the extremists. Buhari said he will move the headquarters for the war against Boko Haram from Abuja, the capital in central Nigeria, to Maiduguri.

An intelligence officer said Boko Haram was firing the rocket-propelled grenades. Soldiers fired heavy assault rifles in response, said the officer, who insisted on anonymity because he is not supposed to give information to journalists.

Civilian self-defense fighters patrolled until dawn to ensure the Islamic extremists did not get through barriers of sandbags and trenches, said one of the fighters, Abbas Gava.

The nearly 6-year-old Islamic uprising in northeastern Nigeria has killed an estimated 13,000 people.

Maiduguri’s population of 2 million has swelled with hundreds of thousands of refugees who have been forced from their homes.

A multinational offensive this year forced the insurgents from towns where they had declared an Islamic caliphate but suicide bombings and hit-and-run attacks continue.

On Friday, twin explosions at a village wedding venue killed seven people.

Nigeria’s military says Boko Haram’s main fighting force is trapped in the northeastern Sambisa Forest. But the insurgents keep attacking Maiduguri, which is 125 miles away.

At his inauguration Friday, Nigeria’s new President

has been financed by the sale of government bonds. However, the Europeans, using a value-added tax, pay for their waste and fraud more efficiently than we do. So maybe it’s time for us to swallow the bullet.

According to a recently completed report by the mega accounting firm Ernst & Young, VATs are spreading around the world as a painless source of growing government revenues. A VAT is basically a turbocharged national sales tax paid on goods and services during each stage of production, not just on retail transactions. The U.S. is a rare bird among the industrialized nations because Congress has yet to propose a VAT. But you may be able to hold your breath, because Congress is running out of sources to generate sufficient tax dollars. To support growing entitlements, to support the increasing number of Americans who consume more than they produce and to support established

waste and fraud, Congress must find a new and dependable broad-based tax source.

It has two choices: a VAT or a “pre-withdrawal tax” on the $22.2 trillion sitting in untaxed retirement accounts.

The latter has most congressmen panting and salivating. It was considered in 1994, when Hillary Clinton lobbied Congress to pass a universal health care plan. However, the financial industry put a big kibosh on that tax and will enthusiastically do it again.

So you can bet that a VAT will be on the agenda of our next elected president. A VAT is probably the most efficient revenue raiser known to mankind a VAT is embedded in the price of a product and rates can be raised gradually; consumers hardly notice it.

(Conservative Ronald Reagan once commented that the best taxes are those that the taxpayers can feel and are therefore difficult to raise.)

When Congress needs to fill holes in its 2018 budget or

increase Medicaid funding, ethanol subsidies, food stamp programs, defense outlays, etc., raising VAT money is as easy as falling off a piece of cake. A hardly noticeable 2.5 percent VAT on an $18 trillion gross domestic product would have eliminated last year’s deficit. It’s a very effective tax tool because it’s a painless way for a government to generate more money to support expanding federal programs. VATs have been popular with the politicians in Europe for decades, and today’s average take there is 21.7 percent. Japan instituted a 3 percent VAT in 1989. It has been raised frequently and may be increased to 10 percent next year. It’s VAT time, and the sacred cows will soon come home to roost with a vengeance.

Dear Mr. Berko: A friend with impressive political connections in Washington believes the next president will ask Congress for a value-added tax to support our welfare and entitlement programs. He says it’s the only way the country could pay for these programs.

What are your thoughts? – FL, Springfield Dear FL: He’s right. A significant portion of the $3.9 trillion budget for this fiscal year derives from our tax dollars. However, this budget is as much about spending as it is about raising revenues from voters who generously fund Washington’s numerous programs through payroll and income taxes. At the close of every fiscal year, because Congress congenitally spends more than it takes in, “we the people” accept deficits of hundreds of billions of dollars as the normal cost of government business.

The nonpartisan Government Accountability Office noted that last year’s entitle-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko ment programs (Medicare, Medicaid and the earned income tax credit) had over $124 billion of waste and fraud.

Former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel noted the $565 billion Pentagon budget in 2014 contained over $67 billion of waste and fraud. That’s the big stuff to which we add $11 billion here, $3 billion there and hundreds of millions elsewhere. These time-honored abuses are in the genetic coding of those who run the government. It’s normal; it’s what we expect of folks who turn the wheels in Washington. And as our bureaucracy grows, so do the waste and fraud.

There’s looting in almost every nook and cranny of our federal bureaucracy. Our state governments are no different, and all of this abuse, which raised the annual deficits,

OUR VIEW

Ill. lawmakers close to closing OMA loophole

ADA Act anniversary should be celebrated Imagine not being able to ride a city bus because you use a wheelchair. Imagine being deaf, going to the doctor, and not being unable to understand what he said. Imagine having a visual impairment and not being able to access the information on your computer.

Imagine having all of the necessary qualifications for a job and being denied that job because you have a disability.

Although it might be difficult to fathom these situations today, these practices were common before July 26, 1990. That is the date that the Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law by President George H. W. Bush.

For centuries, people with disabilities experienced segregation.

Many people with disabilities were placed in horrid institutions. Children with disabilities were not allowed to attend school.

People who used assisted walking devices were most often unable to

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

GUEST VIEW Pam Heavens enter restaurants, theaters, and countless other public accommodations. It was legal to ask a job applicant if he or she had a disability. When the answer was “yes,” that person was usually denied the job, even though he or she was the best qualified. Thus, our nation lost the talents of many people with disabilities because of these unfair practices.

In the 1970s, people with disabilities began raising their voices to say that this kind of blatant discrimination was simply wrong.

Centers for Independent Living were created during that time.

These organizations were, and remain, governed and staffed by people with various disabilities.

As the disability rights movement

grew, Centers for Independent Living were often the focal points for people with disabilities in the communities in which they were located. People associated with Centers for Independent Living joined with other disability rights advocates and worked tirelessly to make sure that a federal civil rights bill for people with disabilities was passed.

On July 26, America will celebrate the 25 anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Celebrations throughout the country are being held all year long, including in Will and Grundy counties. You can acquire more information from the Great Lakes ADA Technical Assistance Center at www. adagreatlakes.org or 800-949-4232 (V/TTY).

• Pam Heavens is the executive director of the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living.

Only approval from state lawmakers stands in the way of legislation being sent to the governor’s desk that would hold government more accountable.

After languishing in a subcommittee for weeks, House Bill 175 cleared the Senate Executive Committee on Wednesday. The bill allows people to report possible violations of the Open Meetings Act within 60 days of discovery, rather than 60 days from the meeting in question. We’re hopeful it will be considered before session ends Sunday.

State Rep. David McSweeney, R-Barrington Hills, authored the bill in response to the Oakwood Hills power plant fiasco last summer. A closed-door meeting that likely violated the Open Meetings Act helped result in the Oakwood Hills Village Board trying to thrust an unwanted 430-megawatt, $450 million power plant on its residents.

The questionable discussion was not public knowledge until a year later, when it was discovered by the attorney hired by village residents who opposed to the project. A complaint could not be filed with the attorney general’s public access counselor, however, because the window to report the violation under current law of 60 days from the actual meeting had long since passed.

The Oakwood Hills case is only the latest example. There have been other instances throughout the state where likely violations of the Open Meetings Act – usually pertaining to items discussed in closed sessions – were discovered after 60 days from the likely violation.

Public bodies need to be held accountable for keeping the public in the dark.

They shouldn’t be allowed to run out a 60day clock without repercussions, no matter when possible violations are discovered.

State Sen. Dan Duffy, R-Lake Barrington, is the chief Senate sponsor of the bill and credited McSweeney’s persistence for breathing new life into it.

It passed the House in March with no opposing votes. We hope it experiences a similar fate in the Senate, and that once approved, the governor signs it.

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.

38 ISIS united, U.S. divided U.S. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter unleashed a firestorm when he harshly criticized Iraqi forces for abandoning the Iraqi city of Ramadi to ISIS. Iraqi security forces “showed no will to fight,” he said. “They were not outnumbered. In fact, they vastly outnumbered the opposing force.”

The numbers are stunning (though a Pentagon spokesman volunteered that it’s hard to make precise estimates).

Conservative blogger Ed Morrissey reported that 6,000 Iraqi soldiers were beaten by 150 ISIS jihadists. If that’s true, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has got a major internal threat knocking at his doorsteps.

Two publications, VOX World and The Daily Beast, pounced on Carter for making unfair, even inaccurate, criticisms of the ISF, and on President Barack Obama for alleged inadequate air support. The following day, Vice President Joe Biden was on the phone with Iraq’s prime minister reassuring him that the U.S. still had Iraq’s back. Biden thanked al-Abadi for “the enormous sacrifice and bravery of Iraqi forces in Ramadi.”

The “fog of war” is at work here. For example, those close to the battlefront have witnessed something else – conflicting accounts from fighters present during the battle.

An Iraqi soldier called their retreat “a life-saving measure (that prevented) a massacre.”

But a Kurd soldier present said it was “an extraordinary withdrawal and there was no reason for it.”

Some of the fog lifted as reports came in that ISIS converted “captured U.S. military armored vehicles ... into mega bombs” that flattened whole city blocks and leveled multistoried buildings. ISIS exploded 27 of these horrific devices, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Instead of arriving in the long Toyota pickup caravans that ISIS favors, they entered in old cars, two or three at a time, to escape U.S. air surveillance. And when the offensive came, they used the cover of a sandstorm. ISIS fighters kept tight secrecy until their attack.

They are at war, and so are we, with our relentless airstrikes and personnel in Iraq training local forces.

VIEWS Donna Brazile However you slice it – even if we allow that ISIS had “hundreds” of fighters present – ISIS jihadists were outnumbered by thousands of Iraqi soldiers. I am sure the U.S. personnel there were deeply disappointed as well.

For more than a year, the Obama Administration has been waging a tactical war against ISIS using strategic airstrikes and training and arming the Iraqi military.

Congress, which continues to demand a strategy for defeating or dismantling ISIS, hasn’t moved an inch on legislation that would give authorization to do more.In the House, Speaker John Boehner is sitting on a bill that would authorize U.S. forces to fight ISIS. Obama requested this authorization over six months ago, but Boehner refuses to act because the bill bans “enduring offensive ground combat operations.”

If Boehner and the Republicans were serious about fighting ISIS, they would immediately provide Obama with the authorization he asks for – and add greater powers later, if they were needed.

And for those Republicans running for president, they have seized the opportunity of ISIS’s victory in Ramadi to criticize Obama as lacking a plan. But those Republicans who insist Obama has no plan appear bereft of their own specific military plan to combat ISIS ... beyond vowing to “kill terrorists.”

For now, Obama ordered airstrikes in targets leading to Ramadi, and a top State Department official said the administration is “taking an extremely hard look” in re-evaluating its strategy against ISIS. Meanwhile Congress, as Kaine has repeatedly stated, is largely silent, unless they raise their voices to critique Obama.

Plainfield Central’s Kahmari Montgomery leads the pack of runners while competing in the 400-meter dash Saturday during the IHSA boys track and field state finals at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. Montgomery won state titles in the 100, 200 and 400.

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD STATE MEET

Montgomery makes history

Plainfield Central senior becomes first to win 100, 200, 400 in Class 3A

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – Kahmari Montgomery headed into Saturday’s Class 3A boys track and field finals attempting to do something no one ever had done in a large-school meet, which was to win titles in the 100-, 200- and 400-meter dashes.

And on a day when weather delays could easily have derailed such lofty hopes, the Plainfield Central senior not only seemed unfazed by it all but also managed to turn in one of the most impressive performances in the long history of the state meet.

Montgomery followed up on a winning 10.5-second ef-

fort in the 100 by shattering a 30-year old state finals record in the 400 when he posted a time of 46.24 seconds. He capped off his historic day by missing another record in the 200, where he won in a time of 20.96 seconds.

Not only does he become the first competitor to win the 100, 200 and 400 at the same large-school meet, but he also became the initial big-school athlete to repeat as a champion in both the 200 and 400.

He’s the first large-school repeat champion in the 400 since Elgin’s Tony Adams turned in the feat in 1978 and 79. Also, he’s the first to repeat in the 200 since Wheaton North’s Adam Harris did so in

2004 and ’05.

Montgomery joins Harris as one of only three largeschool winners of three events on the track at a single finals.

“I was getting ready to run in the 100 when they stopped the meet,” Montgomery said.

“But I was not at all affected by that and it just helped to get me more focused. And that’s why I think that I performed the way that I did.

“I love the 400 and with about 200 left, I kicked it in and I was not going to lose that 200. And the 200 is my favorite race, so I just went out and did what I had to do and I came out on top again.

It was also fun to have Akwasi Aikins placing in triple jump.

I had a blast.”

The 100 was delayed by more than two hours because of storms in the area, but Montgomery picked up his first title in the event when he nipped Bloomington’s Cary Lockhart by .09 seconds.

There was no question about the outcome in his most-dominating race – the 400. He finished 1.29 seconds ahead of Lakes’ Corey Hertz.

In the process, he broke Mount Carmel’s Harold Leonard’s mark of 46.51 seconds, which was set at the 1985 finals.

And then in his final race, he defeated Lockhart by .33 seconds to wrap up his big day.

“He’s an unbelievable athlete and an unbelievable kid,”

Wildcats coach Jon Pereiro said. “The growth that he’s shown this year was portrayed in his three events on the track today and it was just awesome.

“When he first came in as a sophomore, he wouldn’t have been able to deal with the rain delay and all of that stuff, but today he did and he performed unbelievably.”

With Aikins, a senior for the Wildcats, claiming fourth in triple jump (46-5.25), Central missed out on a trophy by one point.

Edwardsville won the title with 54 points while Evanston and Neuqua Valley tied with 37 points and the Wildcats were next with 36 points.

CHARLESTON – Andy Jatis had to scramble just to have a chance at winning a Class 3A title in pole vault at Saturday’s IHSA boys track and field finals.

With bad weather forcing the finals of pole vault indoors, the Celtic senior had to make 15-feet-6-inches on his third attempt to avoid a thirdplace finish.

But once he got to 16 feet, he could go no higher, which was the same scenario that faced Palatine’s Jake LaRocca.

But the Pirates senior won the championship because of fewer misses in the anticipated showdown between the pair.

Following third-place finishes by himself a year ago and from Chad Weaver in 2012 and 2013, Jatis’ runner-up showing established a new standard for his program.

“A big part of getting downstate is the pressure situations and i think that I handled it well,” Jatis said. “If I didn’t make 15-6, I would have taken third. So I had to suck it up and focus and I popped over the bar.

“We all were prepared to go inside, but it definitely was a little frustrating because we got warmed up and there was a good tail-wind outside but then we had an hour delay, but you have to deal with it.

You get a lot of good competition here, and it prepares you for college.”

Peter Andreano was hoping his fourth trip to the IHSA boys track and field meet in the high jump would produce not only his first medal, but also a state championship.

But while the Minooka senior fell just short of that goal after placing second in the event, which also got moved

Providence Catholic’s Andy Jatis vaults over a practice beam Saturday while warming up during the IHSA boys track and field state meet at Eastern Illinois University in Charleston. indoors, he wasn’t disappointed. As an extra bonus, Andreano also claimed seventh place in long jump.

Andreano turned in a jump of 6-8 to finish one inch shy of Oak Park-River Forest’s Kenny Brown in high jump. Andreano finished with a leap of 22-3.5 in the long jump.

Minooka athletes had only won five medals in field events and only two in jumps.

Scott Moss was the only other Indian to win two field field event medals, doing so in 2001.

“Last year, I qualified in

high jump and long jump, but didn’t make it to the finals, so I knew that there was more conditioning that I had to do to better prepare myself,” Andreano said. “This year went really well, and I think that I balanced both pretty good.

“I wanted to win high jump today, but I just couldn’t get that 6-9. I had really good height on my 6-8 jump, so I know that there’s a lot of room for improvement. I enjoy jumping indoors more, so I kind of appreciated it when we went inside.”

Lincoln-Way East’s Anthony Colangelo took fourth place in the high jump (6-7).

The Griffins, who won 12 field medals from 2005 through 2010, hadn’t won one in those events since then.

Plainfield Central’s Akwasi Aikins was fourth in triple jump (46-5.25), which was one spot better than the former standard for that program.

Lockport’s John Meyer took ninth place in discus (164-1), making him one of the few Porters athletes to cap-

ture a medal as a freshman.

Just missing medals were Bolingbrook’s Damare Portis, who took 10th in long jump (22-0.5), and Seneca’s Jonny Wilson, who was 10th in Class 1A triple jump (42-5).

Plainfield South’s Nick Markese (pole vault), Bolingbrook’s Justin Rivers (high jump), Plainfield East’s Daniel Jackson (discus) and Romeoville’s Victor Osinloye (discus) also advanced to Saturday’s finals in their events, but fell short of earning medals.

BOYS TRACK AND FIELD STATE MEET

Plainfield East, North relays earn two medals

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – You don’t see too may ties on the track at the IHSA boys track and field meet, but it’s not that surprising it happened when you consider who was competing against one another in the Class 3A 4x200-meter relay.

Plainfield East and Plainfield North did just that when they posted times of 1:27.326 to tie for third.

The Bengals went with Christian Glass, Prince Smith, Jarvis Carter and Kenyon Newbern-Marks, while the Tigers countered with Thomas Harris, Zach Shelton, Alex Ruscitti and DeVaughn Hrobowski.

“We knew that it was going to be a battle and it was really close and I thought that we had it at the end,” Harris said of the North-East battle for third. “This is really exciting, and we really worked hard for it. We’re real proud of our team and of Plainfield.

We were a new city to track but we’ve really been working hard, and that’s been showing off at state.”

North had never finished better than fourth in a state event, while East had placed third in 2013 with Kenny Lewis in the 400.

Both squads also placed in the 4x100 relay, with North taking fifth (42.32 seconds) and East placing seventh (42.75 seconds). The two teams utilized the same runners in both relays.

Glass, who also earned a medal two years ago on a relay, took ninth in the 100 (10.96 seconds) to give him three medals for the day.

“We train for this in practice, so I was used to it and ready for it,” Glass said of his busy day. “Last year, we didn’t score any points, so I’m just happy that we got back here. I stuck to my form and did the best that I could in the 100 since I still knew that I had the 4x2, and I wanted to conserve a little bit. I’m really happy for North, too, since they deserved it.”

Plainfield South received a third-place finish from John Partee in the 800 (1:53.23).

It was the fourth time an individual picked up an medal on the track for the Cougars.

“The first lap was really fast and then it started to get a lot more mental, and I got a little tired,” Partee said. “But it was a good race overall, and a fun race. I just wanted to make the podium this year.

I had a teammate, Kenny Peters, who also came down but didn’t make it to the finals, so I was kind of fighting for him.”

Winning a pair of medals in Class 1A was Seneca’s Ross McCormick, who took second place in the 1,600 (4:23.86) and

And in Class 2A, there were two local placewinners in the 800. Lincoln-Way West’s Jake Vanderwell took sixth (1:57.35) while Morris’ Jake Wantland finished ninth (1:58.2).

Back in Class 3A, Bolingbrook got a seventh-place effort from Jaylan McConico in the 110 hurdles (14.79 seconds) and a sixth-place finish from its 4x200 relay (1:27.61) of Damare Portis, Tyler Elmore, Elante Ingram and Joshua Collins.

SOFTBALL: CLASS 3A OTTAWA REGIONAL – LaSALLE-PERU 1, MORRIS 0 (SUSPENDED IN FIRST INN.)

Morris’ regional game suspended by weather

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com OTTAWA – The rain was falling before Saturday’s Class 3A Ottawa Regional championship game, and it kept coming down as the Morris and LaSalle-Peru softball teams played.

They didn’t play long as the soggy conditions caused the game to be suspended in the bottom of the first inning with LaSalle-Peru holding a 1-0 lead.

Morris, the top seed and home team, had runners on second and third and a 2-0 count on cleanup hitter Ashley Phelps when the game was called, which will resume at 6 p.m.

Monday.

In the top of the first, Morris pitcher Abby Burns struggled with the wet ball. With two

outs, she walked L-P’s Lauren Spelich and a wild pitch sent Spelich to second. Tristan Chapman then doubled to left, scoring Spelich to make it 1-0.

Burns walked Quincie Weber before Morris coach Jen Lowery came from the dugout to discuss the conditions with the umpires. The officials decided to let the game continue, and Burns struck out Allyson Korsan to end the inning.

LaSalle-Peru pitcher Taylor Naumann had her own trouble with the wet ball in the bottom of the first. With one out, Morris’ Jasmine Cook hit an infield single up the middle before Emily Moore walked. A wild pitch sent the runners to second and third, and that brought L-P coach Mike Schmidt out of the dugout to have the same

discussion with the umpires as Lowery had earlier. At that point, the game was put into a rain delay and, soon after, the suspension call was made. “[Schmidt] said the same thing to the umpires that I did,” Lowery said. “There wasn’t any sense in continuing the way things were. Before the game even started, we were told to tell the girls to be careful rounding bases. In a regional championship game, you shouldn’t play in conditions like this.

“We told Abby before the game that she was going to have to throw a wet ball, but we didn’t anticipate it being this wet. She was able to get it over and get out of that first inning, though.”

Burns kept a towel in her

back pocket to dry the ball off between pitches, but that lost its effectiveness quickly as the rain kept coming down, soaking the towel. The umpires tried to rotate in a dry ball with every pitch, but eventually, the pitching circle turned into a mud pit.

“The only good thing is that it was the same for both teams,” Lowery said. “It wasn’t like it was raining when we were in the field and not raining when they were. Both teams had to deal with it equally.”

Ottawa athletic director Mike Cooper had to make the call on what to do earlier than he would have liked, because the umpires assigned to the game had a two-hour drive.

The baseball game that was being played on the neighboring

baseball diamond between L-P and Pontiac was called immediately after the softball game.

“In hindsight, we maybe could have started an hour early at 10 and got it in, with the way the weather was earlier,” Lowery said. “But, you can’t predict the weather. There was some talk about playing Friday, and there was talk about moving it to our field.

“But, playing at 6 on Monday works out well for us. We have finals Monday until 3, so none of the girls will have to miss any finals like they would have if we played at 4:30. We actually will have a pretty good situation to start. We’re only a run down, we have runners on second and third and a 2-0 count on our cleanup hitter.

That’s not a bad way to start.”

BOYS VOLLEYBALL: ALTON SECTIONAL – JOLIET WEST 2, LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL 1 (16-25, 25-23, 25-23)

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Joliet West’s Juwann Jackson returns a serve Friday against Plainfield Central during the Minooka Regional.

Jackson was a key factor in West’s three-game win over Lincoln-Way Central in the Alton Sctional semifinal played at Lockport.

21, but Brown swung the ball down line to give the Knights a 23-21 lead.

Jackson wouldn’t let his senior season end, however, and placed the ball between two blockers for a kill. After Central made a hitting error, Jackson and middle hitter Matt Wyman roofed a Knights’ hitter to take the lead at 24-23.

Wyman and right-side hitter Max Ahern combined to shut down the hitter again in the next play to win the match.

“The rotation they were in, I kinda figured where the ball was gonna go,” Wyman said.

“I cheated that way and thank God I got my hands up and got

the block. It was a great win for our team and an amazing way to go into the graduation ceremony.”

“All it took was us getting our block together, that was the difference in the game,” Jackson said. “Our defense was lacking in the first game, but in Game 3, the big difference was our defense and our blocking. My team plays so hard no matter what the score is. At the end of the game, we’ll get the job done.”

In the last two games, Jackson was an unstoppable force on the court. Throughout the regional, Jackson delivered 18or 19-kill performances. On the

team’s biggest stage yet, the senior outside gave his best performance with 23 kills, including nine in the second and 10 in the final game.

Luke Van Eck had seven kills and Wyman, Ahern and Kyler van Rossum-O’Connell rounded out scoring with three kills apiece. Van Rossum-O’Connell had an impressive 35-assist night.

To lead to the successful offensive numbers, Scott Lyman and libero Chris Beltran each passed close to a 2.5 on a 3.0 passing scale. On 30 pass attempts, Lyman (2.53 passing) had only one error.

Defensively, the Tigers

“I told this group our motto, ‘One for One.’ Play for each other. Believe in each other.

You can come back from any deficit and they sure did. It was great.”

Jason Herrman Joliet West boys volleyball coach

• Sunday, May 31, 2015

LOCKPORT – Revenge is what Joliet West’s boys volleyball team wanted, and that’s what it got with a 16-25, 25-23, 25-23 victory over Lincoln-Way Central in Friday’s Alton Sectional semifinal at Lockport Central.

The Knights beat West in a close, three-game match during the regular season, and the Tigers couldn’t have turned the tables at a more perfect time. By advancing to the sectional title match, the Tigers became the most successful team in district history.

West (25-11), the first Joliet Township program to reach the sectional since 2001, continued its recent streak of dramatic victories.

Not only did the Tigers battle from a deficit to win, but they hustled even after the victory. The team had less than an hour to make it back to their school so the seniors could attend graduation.

“I told this group our motto, ‘One for One,’ ” West coach Jason Herrmann said. “Play for each other. Believe in each other. You can come back from any deficit and they sure did.

It was great.

“It’s a great opportunity to be able to go down to Alton on Tuesday. It’s a far trip, but it’s exciting. This is the furthest that any of our Joliet teams have been and it’s a very exciting time right now. And now the seniors get to go put on caps and gowns over their uniforms and graduate.”

The Tigers can be renamed the comeback kids.

They’re good at finding a way to win.

Central’s hot hitter, Neal Brown, swung for two kills to give the Knights (26-13) a 2220 lead in the third game. Juwann Jackson – who dominated in the regional – went up for a kill to tighten the score at 22-

played solid at the net and in the back row. Wyman led all players with four blocks. Van Eck chipped in two blocks and Jackson, Van Rossum-O’Connell and Ahern each added one. Beltran had seven digs while Van Rossum-O’Connell tallied six, Jackson five and Josh Lakota, Lyman and Van Eck each three.

The combination of the offense, defense and passing helped West win the match.

Brown had an 18-kill match with seven digs and a block.

Connor Hipelius contributed 11 kills and three blocks, while Kyle Nilsen (five digs), Mark Sargis (eight digs) and Andrew Bergstrand each had five kills.

Mike Kulinski added 38 assists and libero Scott Mueller had a court-high 15 digs.

Before the loss against West, Central knocked out Lincoln-Way West – one of the top teams in the state – to advance to the sectional. The Knights put everything out on the court in the semifinal but came up just short.

“As a first-year head coach, you don’t know what to expect,” Central coach Neil Lucchetti said. “To come out of that regional, I’m really proud of the way that the kids played.

Tonight, we’re disappointed.

Joliet West is a great team, and both teams deserved to win.

“Unfortunately for us, it went their way. I’m proud of the way that our kids played, battled and I’m happy that I was able to coach these kids.”

West will face O’Fallon in the Alton Sectional championship game at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

If the Tigers win, they’ll play in Friday’s state quarterfinals.

“I’m amazed. We have one more,” Jackson said. “We need to keep going and push to get to state, then keep pushing to get as far as we can. Nobody expected us to be here but us.

We believed in ourselves and got the job done. Now, I’m going to go graduate.”

Rain can mess with coaches’ pitching plans VIEWS Dick Goss A rainy day like Saturday certainly can be a factor in how regional baseball tournaments play out.

Why is that? What’s the big deal if the teams must wait until Monday afternoon, which is the case for most of our area schools? At least then it should be dry and fields will be in better condition.

That much is true. But unlike softball, where an ace pitcher can and usually does start every postseason game, baseball coaches do not have that luxury. If you use your ace in the semifinals, he is not available for the championship game.

However, when you have a Saturday rainout, it is possible for a coach to come back with his ace even though he pitched the semifinal game.

An example is Plainfield South right-hander Shane Ritter. He has signed with Iowa and remains the Cougars’ ace even though the rest of the staff has been brilliant down the stretch.

South will battle Minooka on Monday afternoon in the championship game of the Class 4A Joliet West Regional.

Ritter threw 100 pitches in Wednesday’s 12-0 victory over No. 1 seed Bradley.

If coach Phil Bodine chooses to go that route, he could start Ritter, who would have a full four days’ rest. At least that becomes an option. Easton Frisby, who would have started Saturday and has been excellent in his own right, still could go Monday, but Bodine now has an option, and another arm in the bullpen, that he would not have had Saturday.

It’s not quite the same for Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic.

Miguel Ruiz threw 125 pitches in Thursday’s 11-3, eight-inning win over Joliet West. He will be on three days’ rest and likely is not a candidate to start Monday.

Of course, there is a positive. As a Seventh-day Adventist, Cristian Sanchez, the Indians’ best all-around player, has not played on Saturdays.

Now he will play for a regional

The regional baseball champions will play in sectional semifinals Wednesday or Thursday this week. Whoever starts Monday’s games will be out of the mix for those semifinals but would be available for Saturday’s sectional finals.

Of course, as soon as you think you have a plan for your pitching rotation, more wet weather shows up. That’s our spring season.

PRO BASEBALL

Speaking of staff aces, that’s what Tanner Roark (Wilmington) and Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) were back in the day.

Foltynewicz is on the upswing. He made his sixth start with the Atlanta Braves on Friday night at San Francisco.

He allowed a two-run homer to Buster Posey in the first inning and nothing else through 6⅔ innings. He yielded five hits and one walk while striking out eight, but got the no decision in

a game the Braves lost, 4-2.

Combine this outing with what Foltynewicz did Monday against Milwaukee, and it seems fair to say he has arrived. He allowed three hits and one walk while striking out seven Brewers in 7⅔ innings.

The outstanding week leaves him 3-2 with a 3.96 ERA. In 36⅓ innings, he has allowed 35 hits and 13 walks while striking out 38.

Roark, coming off a 2014 season with the Washington Nationals where he went 15-10 with a 2.85 ERA, was moved to the bullpen to begin this season after the Nationals added Max Scherzer to an already star-studded rotation.

Roark got the call to fill in when Doug Fister went on the disabled list, and made his first start Monday against the Cubs at Wrigley Field. He pitched five solid innings and got the victory, 2-1. His second start is scheduled Sunday afternoon against Cincinnati.

He has appeared in 14 games, 13 in relief, and is 1-2 with one save and a 2.49 ERA. He has yielded 26 hits and six walks in 25⅓ innings and has struck out 10.

In Friday’s Reds-Nationals game, left-hander Tony Cingrani (Lincoln-Way Central) entered in relief to face Bryce Harper in the seventh inning and hit him in the back with the first pitch he threw. Cooler heads prevailed, but Cingrani is one of those lefties who can be effectively wild.

Working strictly is relief this season, he is 0-1 with a 2.79 ERA. In 17 games, he has pitched 19⅓ innings and allowed a mere 10 hits but 16 walks while striking out 20.

Opponents are hitting .156 against him.

COLLEGE BASEBALL

Illinois, with Kevin Duchene (JCA) throwing a complete game, beat Ohio, 10-3, Friday night in the opening round of the NCAA Regional

the Illini are hosting. On Saturday night, they were scheduled to face Notre Dame, which beat Wright State, 13-7, in the other opening-round game of the double-elimination tournament.

Duchene is 11-1 with a 1.46 ERA. In 98⅔ innings, he has allowed 82 hits and 15 walks while striking out 86.

I saw one draft talent list that has him ranked in the 150s. That may indicate he could be taken around the fifth or sixth round.

Meanwhile, his fellow Illini lefty, Tyler Jay (Lemont), is a definite first-rounder. The word is the White Sox would like to see him be available to them with the eighth overall pick, but he may not be there.

Jay was named the Big Ten Pitcher of the Year and is 5-1 with 13 saves and a 0.64 ERA. In 56⅓ innings, he has walked six and struck out 65. Opponents are hitting .155 against him.

GIRLS SOCCER: CLASS 2A LaSALLE-PERU SECTIONAL – PEORIA NOTRE DAME 2, LINCOLN-WAY WEST 0

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, May 31, 2015

LaSALLE – There’s a reason why Peoria Notre Dame’s girls soccer program appeared in its 19th straight sectional final, where it met Lincoln-Way West in Friday’s Class 2A LaSalle-Peru Sectional.

The Irish combined speed with good defense and goalkeeping against the Warriors, who were hoping their second straight sectional final trip would result in their first title.

But Notre Dame captured its 16th sectional title in 19 years with a 2-0 victory over West to advance to Tuesday’s DeKalb Supersectional.

“They have a lot of experience, but we were confident with the experience that we were bringing in, too,” West coach Jeff Theiss said. “A handful of these girls got the opportunity to play in a sectional final last year and they were hungry. The result didn’t turn out in our favor, but we stressed to the girls that there’s absolutely nothing to be ashamed of.

“You learn a lot when you get to a sectional championship and it’s a huge accomplishment. If you don’t get through, you realize that it’s not satisfying, so we’ll stay hungry and keep working.

We’re so proud of this group and the work that they’ve put in and where they’ve come from. And talk about a fun group to be around and to work with day in and day out.”

West (17-8-1), which lost, 2-0, to Lemont in last year’s sectional final, was 10-1-1 in the past 12 games heading into the contest, but Notre Dame (17-53) picked up its eighth straight win with another good defensive effort.

Macy Martin connected shortly before the opening half’s midpoint for the match-winner. West had its best early chance a short time later when Meghann Lange’s short try was deflected by keeper Jenna Ashley.

Warriors keeper Audrey Pearson thwarted several threats, but early in the final half, Tori Timerman got free in front and scored an insurance goal.

West’s best opportunity in the final half came in the late going when obstruction was called, setting up an indirect free kick inside the box.

After Lange’s touch, Madison Mikalauski lined one off the wall.

“I give them complete respect,” Pearson said. “We had some good shots but their keeper was there. I tried my

best but some things didn’t go my way. I’ve improved since last year and our team has improved phenomenally since I was a freshman, and that’s awesome. The returning girls know who they’re losing, so they’ll step up and fill those positions.”

Theiss is proud of seniors such as Emily Wyskiel, a threeyear attacking mid who moved

to center back; Natalie Tannura, who finished with more than 50 goals; Pearson, who had 30 career shutouts; Lange, who was utilized all over the field; and Meredith Buldak, a three-year junior-varsity player who came up big in the midfield.

“Give credit to them since they’re a really good team that worked together,” Wyskiel

said. “And credit us since we fought to the last whistle and never let our heads drop. We had a lot of players back from last year, so we knew what to expect. It didn’t work today, but, hopefully, does in the future.

“I wouldn’t have wanted to be on any other team than with my Lincoln-Way West soccer family. I loved it.”

SOFTBALL: CLASS 4A LINCOLN-WAY EAST REGIONAL – LINCOLN-WAY EAST 7, MINOOKA 0

Van Gennep dominates regional final Lincoln-Way East pitcher limits Minooka to only one baserunner

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com FRANKFORT – Minooka had no luck against Lincoln-Way East senior righthander Nikole Van Gennep earlier in the softball season.

It was déjà vu Friday as East blanked the Indians, 7-0, in the championship game of the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Regional to earn a berth in the Joliet Central Sectional, which opens Tuesday.

“She’s tough,” Minooka coach Mark Brown said of Van Gennep. “We got two hits the first time, and I think she was even better today.”

The only baserunner for Minooka (18-14) came when Audrey Hanouw dropped a single into short center field, just beyond the reach of shortstop Eleni Kioussis, with one out in the third inning.

Van Gennep struck out six, walked nobody and threw 72 pitches over the seven innings, only 18 over the final three innings, when she was pitching with a lead.

The Griffins (26-4), who finished fourth in the state in 4A a year ago, scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth against Minooka junior left-hander Alyssa Hajduk to break a scoreless tie.

Van Gennep, who bats left-handed, homered in the fifth and had an RBI single in East’s three-run sixth, but it was her performance in the circle that was decisive.

“We put some balls in play against here, but she throws that rise ball that we couldn’t get on top of,” Brown said.

“We popped it up.”

The game was played in onand-off light rain. A heavier downpour in the third inning necessitated an eight-minute delay. What rain there was did not bother Van Gennep.

She never went to three balls in the count and went to two balls only three times, not once after the third inning.

“My curve and screwball were working, and definitely the rise,” Van Gennep said.

Lincoln-Way East’s Nikole Van Gennep delivers a pitch during a game earlier this season at Joliet West. Van Gennep pitched a one-hitter, faced one batter over the minimum and hit a home run and run-scoring single in the Griffins’ 7-0 victory over Minooka in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way East Regional final.

“I was able to keep them off balance.”

East had threats against Hajduk in the first two innings and the leadoff hitter on base in the third, but she escaped each time.

In the fourth, however, Blake Ruiz’s double ignited a three-run inning that included an error, Lauren Herlihy’s bloop single, Brittany Pospishil’s RBI groundout, Ami Ill’s run-scoring single, Jenny Van Geertry’s single and a wild pitch.

“Alyssa [Hajduk] kept us right there until they broke it open in the middle of the game,” Brown said.

Hajduk was gutty, as Brown said Hajduk has been dealing with a stress fracture in her plant (right) foot and was in a boot Tuesday.

“She is one of the tough-

“I knew I hit it pretty hard, but I didn’t know about it going out. I was excited it did. [Alyssa Hajduk] kept jamming me before that.”

Nikole Van Gennep Lincoln-Way East softball player

est competitors I have ever coached,” he said.

Van Gennep battled through a 13-pitch at-bat before walking in the first inning, and Hajduk struck her out on a 2-2 pitch in the third. She had a 2-1 count in the fifth when she got what she wanted, a pitch out over the plate that she lined over

the fence in left-center for her second homer of the season and a 4-0 lead.

“I knew I hit it pretty hard, but I didn’t know about it going out,” Van Gennep said.

“I was excited it did. [Hajduk] kept jamming me before that.”

Ill opened the Griffins’ three-run sixth with her second hit. The runs scored on a double steal, Van Gennep’s single and Herlihy’s sacrifice fly.

Nicole O’Donnell, Ill, Ruiz and Van Gennep all had two of East’s 12 hits against Hajduk and Chloe Schamber, who entered in the fifth when Ruiz followed Van Gennep’s homer with a solid single.

“The entire team came ready to play,” Griffins coach Elizabeth Pawlicki said. “We made the plays, and offensive-

ly, we made good contact.”

Asked if there is any comparison between these Griffins and the team that finished fourth in the state in 2014, Pawlicki said, “No, we’re resetting. Last year was last year, and this year is this year.”

“We definitely have the potential to get to state again,” Van Gennep said. “We have to help keep each other stay up and take it one game at a time.”

Brown said Minooka could walk away with heads held high, knowing the Indians lost to a quality opponent.

“They’re very good, and we grew as a team during this season,” he said. “We’ll return seniors with some experience next year, and we’ll be looking forward to another successful season.”

Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews (left) celebrates with Brad Richards after scoring in the first period of Game 7 of the Western Conference final Saturday against the Anaheim Ducks in Anaheim, Calif. the Hawks and other champions.

The Hawks led 4-0 before Ryan Kesler scored late in the second period for the Ducks.

Corey Perry scored for Anaheim with 8:24 to play, but Seabrook scored on a power play shortly afterward.

Patrick Kane had three assists for the Hawks, who won

three of the series’ final four games to seize another Western Conference title.

The Hawks have defied conventional NHL parity to reach three Stanley Cup Finals and five conference finals in a seven-year stretch under coach Joel Quenneville.

That’s because their stars are unmatched: From Toews and

Kane to Duncan Keith and Seabrook, nobody knows how to win like the Hawks.

Keith had two assists while completing the series with a jaw-dropping 230 minutes, 48 seconds of ice time for a team largely relying on four defensemen.

Brad Richards, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy in 2004 with Tampa Bay, had two assists for the Hawks while improving to 8-0 in Game 7 in his NHL career.

Frederik Andersen made 21 saves for the Ducks, giving up three goals on the Hawks’ first seven shots.

ASTROS 3, WHITE SOX 0

Keuchel strikes out 11 as Astros blank Sox

By KRISTIE RIEKEN The Associated Press HOUSTON – Jose Quintana had a solid start for the White Sox on Saturday.

Unfortunately, the Sox’s hitters couldn’t do anything to help him out against Dallas Keuchel in a 3-0 loss to the Houston Astros.

“That’s hard,” Quintana said. “Sometimes, you get frustrated because you don’t get runs, but I know the hitters try every time to do their best. I don’t have control over that.

Everybody here tries to do their best for us and you have to keep going. One day that’s going to change.”

Quintana (2-6) allowed five hits and one run in 6⅓ innings.

It was his third straight road start where he yielded just one run.

Keuchel struck out a career-high 11 and pitched a four-hitter to lead Houston to the victory.

The Sox have been shut out in two of his 10 starts this season and managed just one run in four others.

“I don’t know if you can put a finger on it,” manager Robin Ventura said of the lack of run support for Quintana. “It’s unfortunate because he always gives you a chance. He doesn’t dwell on it. He’s just ready for the next opportunity and he’s just a gamer. He’ll go out there against anybody at any time.”

Heavy rain caused minor flooding inside Minute Maid

Park during the game, but there were no delays.

Storms swept through the area as the teams played and water seeped into a couple of concourses in the stadium.

Drainage issues caused flooding of three to four inches and the water stood for about five or six minutes, according to the Astros.

The public address announcer told fans during the seventh inning that the stadium would remain open after the game for those who wanted to wait out the weather. Only a handful of fans remained in the stadium an hour after the game.

There was an announcement around 6:45 p.m. that the weather had passed and people

needed to leave the ballpark because the doors would close at 7 p.m.

Keuchel (7-1) pitched his second career shutout and first since May 13, 2014. He didn’t walk a batter and finished with a major league-leading 1.76 ERA after throwing his eighth complete game overall.

The Astros improved to 31-19, tying the 1998 team that won a franchise-high 102 times for the best 50-game start in team history.

Evan Gattis and Chris Carter hit back-to-back home runs in the eighth.

Keuchel bounced back from his first loss of the season in his last start, which broke a career-high eight-game winning streak dating to last season.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The rainy, windy, and cold late May day didn’t damper the Cubs’ mood.

Joe Maddon and his coaching staff and players posed for a picture on the wet tarp wearing Blackhawks sweaters in anticipation of Game 7 of the NHL Western Conference finals between the Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks on Saturday.

The Cubs quickly tweeted the picture, which got a response from the Blackhawks’ Twitter account thanking them for the support.

A makeup date at Wrigley Field was set for Sept. 28 at 7:05 p.m. on the final Monday of the regular season.

The Royals are scheduled to begin a series with the White Sox on Sept. 29.

“It fits in perfectly. A mutual day off and we were coming to play the White Sox anyway the day after. Actually it fits in very well,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said.

Saturday night’s scheduled starters will both be pushed back to Sunday. The Royals’ Yordano Ventura (3-4) is scheduled to make his 10th start of the season, and the Cubs’ Tsuyoshi Wada (0-0) is slated to make his third start.

Oldest living Cubs player Lennie Merullo dies at 98 CHICAGO – Lennie Merullo, the oldest former member of the Cubs and the last living person to play for them in the World Series, died Saturday. He was 98.

Cubs owner Tom Ricketts said in a statement that Merullo died earlier in the day. The team didn’t include details of Merullo’s death.

Merullo was a major league shortstop from 1941-47, all with the Cubs. He hit .240 with six home runs and 152 RBIs. Merullo played three games in the 1945 World Series and went 0 for 2. The Cubs lost in seven games to Detroit, and haven’t made it back to the Series since then.

ANAHEIM, Calif. – Jonathan Toews scored two goals in the opening minutes, Corey Crawford made 35 saves and the Blackhawks roared into the Stanley Cup Finals with a 5-3 victory over the Anaheim Ducks in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals Saturday.

Brandon Saad, Marian Hossa and Brent Seabrook also scored for the Hawks, who will play for their third NHL championship in six seasons when they face the Tampa Bay Lightning beginning Wednesday in Florida.

After six games of tense hockey in an extraordinary series, Game 7 was an incongruous rout. Toews was responsible for it, burnishing his reputation for big-game brilliance with a rebound goal just 2:23 in and another power-play score before 12 minutes elapsed.

Anaheim lost a Game 7 at home for the third straight season.

The Ducks blew a 3-2 series lead each time, compounding the heartbreak for a talented team that hasn’t developed the postseason poise possessed by

The scheduled second game of the series Saturday evening was rained out.

NASCAR XFINITY SERIES – BUCKLE UP 200

Buescher holds on for victory

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press DOVER, Del. – Chris Buescher stretched his fuel, connected with a teammate and held on to win the Xfinity Series race Saturday at Dover International Speedway.

Buescher, the series points leaders, has emerged as the driver to beat in NASCAR’s second-tier series. He edged Chase Elliott for a win two weeks ago at Iowa Speedway and followed with his third career Xfinity win.

Buescher conserved enough fuel to drive a whopping 98 miles on his final run in the No. 60 Ford, a stellar effort for the Roush Fenway Racing driver.

“I was clutching it a lot those last 15 laps trying to save all we had there and get all we could,” he said.

Owner Jack Roush was one of the first to congratulate Buescher.

He might have to play

peacemaker this week at the shop.

Buescher knocked fellow Roush driver Darrell Wallace Jr., also slowing to conserve fuel, out of the way late in the race to take the lead. Wallace, who started on the pole, lost his left rear tire and was forced to pit. He led 52 laps and finished 17th.

“It’s my teammate, so I can’t really say much,” Wallace said. “I’m just saving fuel there, and he runs over me.

Should be an interesting Monday morning.”

Roush said there was “no worse horror” than one driver taking out his teammate and said he wanted the pair “feeling good” about each other again.

“I felt like we were in position to make the pass a couple of times,” Buescher said. “It looked like our opportunity and we had a good run up off the corner. We just got a little free on the bottom. We’ll talk about it.”

Matt Kenseth was second, followed by Regan Smith, Austin Dillon and Kasey Kahne.

Kenseth said the racing with the developmental drivers was about as good as it’s been in the series.

“It’s always been really competitive, and it’s certainly competitive right now,” Kenseth said.

Smith won a $100,000 bonus as the top finisher among the four designated in the series’ Dash 4 Cash race. He’s now eligible for the $1 million prize should he again have the best finish among four drivers in the next three Dash races and wins the Darlington race.

“We appreciate (Xfinity).

We want to take as much of their money as we can,” Smith said. “It’d be a cool story to pull off that million dollar deal.”

Elliott, Brendan Gaughan, Ty Dillon, Erik Jones and Jeremy Clements round out the top 10.

Plainfield teen hosts dinner to raise awareness of domestic violence

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

S

HOREWOOD – Ashley Cline knew she had to do something.

Cline, who is 14 and lives in Plainfield, has seen domestic abuse on TV shows and on the news. Some of her family members had experienced physical and emotional abuse. It incenses Cline when friends jokingly yell out, “Rape!” in response to friendly horsing around.

Abuse, Cline believes, is no joke.

“I wonder how someone could do that to another person,” Cline said of abuse. “It gives me chills.”

So when Cline, a member of Girl Scout Troop 70409 in Plainfield, had to plan a community service project as part of her Silver Award requirements, she was ready.

On May 23, Cline hosted a free-will offering spaghetti dinner at Hope Lutheran Church in Shorewood, where she recently was confirmed. Cline aimed to raise awareness of domestic violence and donations for Guardian Angel Community Services and MorningStar Mission.

“She set a goal of $500,” said her mother, Beth Cline of Plainfield. “She raised $550 and counting.”

Cline’s hard work

Cline said she wanted to host a dinner because she thought it would be an easy event to pull together. Once planning commenced, Cline soon learned otherwise.

“It was far from easy,” Cline said.

Still, Cline took ownership of the project from the beginning. Barb Borgman of Plainfield, Cline’s grandmother, said Cline approached Hope Lutheran Church about using its facilities, asked people for donations for a silent auction and recruited volunteers to work the dinner.

Rieuf was out of town May 23 and missed the dinner, but was confident Cline would do a great job.

“She’s inspiring,” Rieuf said.

Cline also designed and distributed fliers promoting the dinner. She decided which Joliet organizations should receive the proceeds. On the day of the event, Cline displayed information about domestic violence on one wall in the church hall.

It was an immense undertaking for the recent graduate from Aux Sable Middle School in Plainfield, where Cline was an “A” student, Borgman said.

Cline also has a black belt in karate with a championship title and has sung the national anthem at various events, Borgman added.

Still, Borgman is impressed Cline would work so hard to raise awareness for domestic violence.

“I just get goosebumps,” Borgman said.

Tina Haynes, leader of Girl Scout Troop 70409 and Cline’s Silver Award adviser, said Cline even babysat and tutored to cover expenses. Haynes said Cline’s passion for the project extended beyond the award requirements. Other girls, Haynes added, might have simply designed a flier or presented in schools.

“She has made me so proud to be her leader,” Haynes said.

For Cline, all that initiative had one downside.

“I had to talk to a lot of strangers,” Cline said.

Yet Cline believes that was not nearly as uncomfortable as the effects of domestic violence on people, especially young people.

“When people are treated badly, they become more introverted instead of being open with their feelings,” Cline said.

“They don’t want to talk to anyone; they don’t know people will be nice to them.”

agreed awareness is good, the amount of work Cline put into raising that awareness also said something.

“It speaks volumes of her as an individual,” Skogsberg said.

THE HERALD-NEWS PLAINFIELD – Ira Jones Middle School eighth-grader Alexandra Kwiecien is one of only 66 students nationwide chosen for the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation’s Young Scholars program.

The scholarship will help her and

her family pay for secondary education at Culver Academy, a college preparatory boarding school in Culver, Indiana.

Kwiecien said her mother found out about the Young Scholars program two years ago and she applied last year. She actually learned she’d been chosen last fall and has been

talking to her advisor every two weeks and doing work to prepare for the transition to Culver in the fall, she said.

She applied to four private schools – as the foundation encourages, although she said she still would have received a scholarship had she chosen to remain in public school.

Kwiecien loves children and wants to be a pediatrician and open her own practice someday, she said.

She is the student council co-president, a peer helper for the school’s FBI special education class and a member of the math and draAlexandra ma clubs. She also volunteers at a Kwiecien nursing home.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Which is better: One or two?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Robert Half, who founded the company of the same name that is the world’s first and largest accounting and finance staffing firm, said, “When one teaches, two learn.” I never thought about that, but it can be so true.

When declaring in a contract at the bridge table, it is usually better to have two chances to make your contract than only one. But, strangely, sometimes two can be worse than one.

In this deal, for example, how should South plan the play in three notrump after West leads his fourth-highest heart?

In the auction, North’s three-heart cue-bid asked South to bid three no-trump with a heart stopper. (If North had a stopper, he would have bid no-trump himself.)

South starts with eight top tricks: one heart (given the lead), one diamond and six clubs. Should he turn to spades or diamonds for the extra winner?

Before we get that far, though, declarer must put up dummy’s heart queen, the honor from the shorter side first. Here, the queen wins. So South knows that if East gains the lead, he will play a heart through the king, and West will cash four tricks.

That might prompt declarer to take two diamond finesses, since each one is into the safe West hand. However, there is a much more important point for declarer to realize. If East has the spade ace, the contract can always be defeated.

So, South should just lead the spade king from the dummy (or cross to his hand with a club and play his spade toward the dummy). Here, he cannot be defeated.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff to.

For some older couples, fewer inhibitions and a deeper understanding of their needs compensate for the physical consequences of aging. And these physical changes can provide an impetus for developing a new and satisfying style of lovemaking – one that’s based more on extended foreplay and less on intercourse and orgasm.

If certain positions cause pain, see if you can experiment and find positions that don’t. Women who have sex on top of their partner often are better able to control the force of the thrusts that cause pain – and thereby reduce or eliminate it. In addition, slower, more relaxed foreplay can encourage more vaginal lubrication.

The physical changes can be reversed or reduced with vaginal lubricants and moisturizers, or hormone therapy (cream, not pills).

Estrogen cream applied to the vagina is effective in improving vaginal lubrication. An advantage of the cream, compared to estrogen in pill form, is that the estrogen remains largely in the vagina and doesn’t travel in the blood to be carried elsewhere in the body.

When the main problem with sex is a lack of desire, testosterone therapy sometimes can help improve a woman’s desire. Even though we think of testosterone as a male hormone, it is naturally made (in smaller amounts) by women and increases sexual desire.

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

When this puzzle is completed, the circled letters will form a path (starting in the shaded circle) spelling out the puzzle’s theme. Each long Down answer contains a hidden city, reading in order from top to bottom, not necessarily consecutively.

Dear Dr. K: I recently have entered menopause.

Can you discuss how menopause might affect my sex life?

Dear reader: As a woman approaches and enters menopause, her ovaries make less and less of the hormones estrogen and progesterone. The drop in these hormones – estrogen in particular – can affect how a woman experiences sex.

Estrogen stimulates the growth of breast tissue. It maintains blood flow to and lubrication of the vagina. The decline and eventual end to estrogen production provokes a host of symptoms.

These include hot flashes, fatigue, vaginal dryness and loss of libido. Many of these changes can have unwanted effects on a woman’s sex life.

Other physical changes also take place, to varying degrees, as a woman enters menopause. For example, as a woman gets older, blood flow to her genitals decreases. She will experience a thinning of the vaginal lining. Her vagina will lose muscle tone and become less elastic.

These changes can make sex more painful and less enjoyable.

A woman may have less sexual desire, or fewer sexual thoughts and fantasies. It may take longer to become aroused. She may have less vaginal lubrication and less expansion of the vagina during arousal.

Less blood will enter the clitoris and lower vagina, and the clitoris will become less sensitive.

Orgasm may become less certain. It may take longer to achieve orgasm, or it may not occur at all. When it does occur, it may be less intense.

Finally, as a woman gets older, she will return more quickly to an unaroused state.

Does this mean the end of a fulfilling sex life?

It certainly doesn’t have

Real Life Adventures

your husband are married, not joined at the hip. If he wants to see his mother every day, that’s fine. But you should not be obligated to go with him more than a couple of times a week if you don’t want to.

If he feels he needs to give her an explanation for your absence, he should tell her you are busy with things you need to do. It’s polite, it’s logical – and I’m sure you will find errands or tasks with which to fill the time.

Dear Abby: My boyfriend has been meeting a group of diving friends in Mexico for more than 15 years.

We are now a couple and this was my first year meeting everyone. There were two other couples and one female, “Connie,” sharing the condo. The other couples had private bathrooms, and we shared

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips the main bathroom with Connie.

I found it odd Connie would leave the bathroom after showering with only a towel wrapped around her. My boyfriend would stay in the room or go out to the deck and read, yet she didn’t hesitate to walk out to the patio and converse with him.

Is this socially acceptable or is it me? What can I say to her next year? I thought about buying her a bathrobe and giving it to her. I have also considered my boyfriend and I could get a private room and stay in there until we know she’s dressed. Really, she needs the private room, and I thought about paying for it, or should something just politely be said? – No Proper Wrap Dear N.P.W.: Before doing anything, stop and analyze why you are so bothered by what Connie is doing. Do you think she is coming on to your boyfriend? Remember, these are all diving friends who have gotten together for a very long time before you were in the picture.

If he was interested in her, which I doubt, he wouldn’t be with you. I do not think paying for another room for Connie would be appropriate. I do think you should get to know her better and, if you still feel threatened (which you may not), talk to your boyfriend about your feelings.

Dear Abby: I have been married to my husband a little more than a year.

He’s a wonderful man, but I feel he’s a little too attached to his mother.

She lives about 20 minutes away, and he wants to go visit her almost every day.

His mother is a very negative person. She isn’t mean and we get along well, but her negativity is overwhelming. She finds joy in practically nothing and I always leave feeling agitated.

I have talked with my husband about this before and his response is, “That’s how some old people are.” I could put up with it a few times a week, but this everyday thing is wearing on me.

How can I get my husband to understand how I’m feeling without hurting his mother’s feelings? – No
