One victim critical

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two men were shot early Sunday at a party in the 100 block of Charity Avenue.

Police Chief Brian Benton said one man was struck in the head and another was shot in

the leg.

“Around 1:20 a.m., officers were called when shots were fired as a large party was breaking up. They were told the victims had been taken to the hospital by friends,” Benton said.

At the same time, staff at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center informed police a 25-year-old man had been brought in with a head wound.

He was later airlifted to Loyola Medical Center in Maywood in critical condition, Benton said.

The other victim, a 25-yearold man, was brought to the hospital separately. His wound is not considered life-threatening.

Benton said Sunday morning no suspects were in custody, but the investigation was “very active.”

“We’ve tracked down several people who were at the party for interviews to find out what happened,” he said.

It was the second time in about a month that a Joliet party ended in the early morn-

ing hours with gunfire. On May 4, Dameon Anderson, 27, was shot to death at a party in the 100 block of Mississippi Avenue. Police determined that the alleged shooter, Donald Woods, 20, was acting in self-defense but charged him with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

Anyone with information about the Sunday shooting on Charity Avenue can call detectives at 815-724-3020 or anonymously call CrimeStoppers at 800-323-6734.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – A Lockport man died Saturday after driving his car off the road and into a ComEd pole that fell on the vehicle as it burst into flames.

The Will County Coroner’s office identified the driver as Andrew Mazza, 23, early Sunday afternoon after an autopsy was done. The crash happened at 6:36 p.m. on Bell Road in Homer Glen.

A Will County Sheriff’s officer saw the accident and tried to put out the fire with an extinguisher but could not, Deputy Chief Ken Kaupas said.

“He struck a pole that came down on the vehicle and immediately ignited the vehicle and the driver inside the vehicle.”

Ken Kaupas Will County deputy chief “A sergeant saw the car go by at a very high rate of speed,” Kaupas said. “He observed the vehicle go into the gravel on the side of the road

and lose control.”

The car rolled over several times before hitting the ComEd pole, Kaupas said.

“He struck a pole that came down on the vehicle and immediately ignited the vehicle and the driver inside the vehicle,” Kaupas said.

The officer who tried to put out the fire was treated later for smoke inhalation. Kaupas said it took some time for a fire crew to extinguish the blaze before they could get to the driver inside.

The car was a 2004 Dodge Neon and was headed south at a location south of 143rd Street when the accident happened.

loss to gunfire

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Vanessa Anderson-Eskridge is sick of the violence.

Her nephew, Dameon D. Anderson, was killed May 4 by a 20-year-old man who allegedly shot him because Anderson was threatening him with a gun.

A stray bullet from a nearby gang fight killed her brother, Jimmy Anderson, nearly 25 years ago.

Anderson-Eskridge said it took years for her to get over her brother’s death. Her nephew’s death has brought back painful memories.

“I thought, ‘This is happening to me again.’ Violence robs someone,” she said.

Jimmy Anderson, 28, was watching TV June 9, 1991, when a bullet came through the window of his third-floor apartment in the 300 block of North Broadway and struck him in the head. Anderson survived for a week in the hospital before he died.

James Caruth, who was fighting with rival gang members on the street outside, is serving a 50-year prison sentence for Anderson’s murder.

“It was devastating,” Anderson-Eskridge recalled. “He had no gang involvement. He’d just gotten hired as a roofer. I was a single parent and when he wasn’t working he helped me with my sons.”

Anderson-Eskridge, who works with children with behavioral disorders, believes the time her late brother spent with her sons was invaluable and they’d been better off if that male presence hadn’t been taken away so suddenly.

“They’ve been in some minor trouble. I’ve had to stay on them,” she admitted. “Boys need a father. If they don’t have someone there for them, they

“They’ve been in some minor trouble. I’ve had to stay on them. Boys need a father. If they don’t have someone there for them they go to the streets.”

Vanessa Anderson-Eskridge Joliet resident go to the streets.”

Anderson-Eskridge believes her nephew’s fate may have been different if his father had been more involved while he was growing up.

Dameon Anderson, 27, served prison time for aggravated battery and unauthorized possession of a firearm by a felon. Early on the morning of May 4, Anderson, his younger brother and a group of friends went to a party in the 100 block of Mississippi Avenue.

Police Lt. Brian Dupuis said a 17-year-old boy fired several shots into the air and the group was told to leave by Donald Woods, 20. Woods, like Anderson, has a criminal history, but Dupuis said their dispute was not gang-related.

“As they were leaving in the alley, witnesses said, Anderson took the gun from the 17-yearold, which he did not know was now empty and pointed it toward Woods,” Dupuis said.

“Woods had a gun of his own and fired one round that struck Anderson.”

An investigation by Joliet police and the Will County State’s Attorney’s office found Woods was justified in shooting Anderson and was only charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon. Woods also faces unrelated charges of

The 17-year-old boy faces several weapons charges, according to reports.

While Anderson had a criminal record, his aunt felt he was more involved with his own three children than his father was.

“He had his little girl with him for Easter the last time I saw him. He was in such high spirits,” she said. Dameon Anderson worked at a local warehouse and frequently took his children to the park, she said.

“There’s no diminishing the importance of fathers to daughters. But in my own work, I’ve seen they boys need their dad,” Anderson-Eskridge said. “Without a father to provide, the boys will run to the street.”

“That’s the root cause of this violence. I know the pain I’ve endured and I’m sick of it. I just want to remind fathers how important it is,” she said.

Anderson-Eskridge said Anderson’s father did not attend his funeral.

Pilcher Park could go; Dellwood Park gets facelift

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com These are either the best of times or the worst of times for a couple of area dams.

For Lockport’s Dellwood Park dam, it’s a spring of hope.

Lockport Park District officials recently approved a $19,000 “facelift” for the stairway near the more than 100-year-old structure.

But in Joliet, a decision expected later this year could signal a winter of despair for residents who want to save the Pilcher Park dam. Joliet Park District officials are considering a state proposal to demolish the Depression-era structure.

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Fish and Wildlife want the dam removed to restore an aquatic habitat on Hickory Creek lost during flood control modifications downstream.

The two dams were both built for recreational purposes.

In Lockport, Fraction Run Creek was dammed in 1906 to create an amusement park for the Chicago and Joliet Electric Railway Co. The transit system created several such sites to encourage weekend commuters. Dellwood Park included a little lake for rowing, serviced by a boathouse that doubled as a dancing pavilion, until it burned down in the 1930s.

The dam – actually the lower of two dams built to form a pair of lagoons in the park’s deep ravine – is 170 feet long and 18 feet tall with an 82-foot spillway, according to a story about the structure in the February 1907 edition of the Electric Railway Review. The dam is hollow and has a walkway through it, though the passage is now barred.

The Pilcher Park dam on Hickory Creek was built as a Works Progress Administration job to create work as well as a spot for fishing, swim-

“The [Dellwood Park] dam isn’t used as a dam anymore.”

Sue Micklevitz Park district executive director ming and ice skating. The park district currently only allows fishing in the pond. The dam is 240 feet wide by 12 feet tall, according to the Illinois Department of Natural Resources. At its base, it is 19 feet wide.

Both dams are showing their age.

Lockport officials have been sprucing up the area around the Dellwood dam for the last several years, said Sue Micklevitz, the district’s executive director. This year the district plans to renovate the stairway near the dam, as well as the top walls on the north side of the dam. The project will include loose concrete removal and patching, plus the addition of some anchors and rods into the existing concrete.

“Obviously it’s nothing like it was back in the day,” Micklevitz said. “We’ve been trying to clean up as much of the area as we can.”

The concrete surface of the Pilcher Park dam is cracking and peeling, according to Dominic Egizio, executive director of the Joliet Park District. Restoration of the dam would require a de-watering pipe and valve, as well as ensuring the structure passes flood tests, and preparing an emergency plan should a breach occur.

Liability is the district’s main concern.

“If that dam collapses, it’s the park district’s responsibility to deal with,” Egizio said.

History and aesthetics aside, the dams have little in common.

The pool behind the Dellwood Park dam is dry. Park district officials blew a hole in the bottom of the dam decades

ago to drain the water, which had become stagnant over the years, said Sue Micklevitz, the district executive director.

“The dam isn’t used as a dam anymore,” Micklevitz said.

The structure dammed Fraction Run Creek, a seasonal stream that flows east from Gougar Road near Broken Arrow Golf Course, wending its way south and then north of Bruce Road before entering Dellwood Park. From there it flows into the Illinois & Michigan Canal north of Lock 2.

The creek still carries water in the spring and after heavy rains, but usually is dry by summer, Micklevitz said.

The Pilcher Park dam is a functioning structure that holds back enough water to create a 3,000-foot-long pool on Hickory Creek.

Hickory Creek takes in nearly all of the urban and agricultural runoff water from east Joliet, Frankfort, Homer Glen, Mokena, New Lenox, Orland Park and Tinley Park.

Feeder creeks include Marley Creek, Union Ditch and Frankfort Tributary.

Below the Pilcher Park dam, Hickory Creek passes through the East Side of Joliet, where it’s joined by Spring Creek before eventually flowing into the Des Plaines River.

“It’s a pretty big watershed,” said Rick Gosch, water resources planning manager with the IDNR. Flooding along Spring and Hickory creeks has been a problem for years. A 1957 flood caused $56 million in damages, and another in 1980 caused about $44 million in damages, according to the IDNR. From 1985 to 2005, IDNR deepened the creek’s bed and put in vertical concrete walls to prevent flooding. Construction got just past the Fourth Avenue bridge at Grant Avenue before the project’s permit expired.

While the project has alleviated much of the flooding,

Water from Hickory Creek pours over the Pilcher Park dam in Joliet on April 22. about 1,500 homes and buildings still are at risk, Gosch said.

Flooding hasn’t been bad in recent years, but a 100-yearrain could cause some real problems.

“That’s why we’re still pushing this project over all these years,” Gosch said.

IDNR plans to continue work on Hickory Creek from Grant Avenue to Washington Street, and on Spring Creek from its confluence with Hickory Creek north and east to Draper Avenue.

But the Corps and the Environmental Protection Agency may not approve the permit for the new flood control project unless the Pilcher Park Dam is removed. The Corps says the dam’s removal – which would allow fish, mussels, water insects and other wildlife to migrate upstream – is the only way to compensate

for aquatic habitat lost during the earlier flood control project.

The Pilcher Park dam is one of 16 aging, non-functional dams across the state being targeted for demolition under Gov. Pat Quinn’s Illinois Dam Removal Initiative. The $10 million program is designed to remove the dams and restore waterways to their original free-flowing condition.

Save The Pilcher Park Dam Facebook Page, a citizen’s group petitioning the various government units involved to prevent demolition of the dam, has collected 2,300 signatures so far, Dr. Rita Rogan, one of the group’s organizers, said Friday.

“Ninety percent of the people we’ve talked to have signed the petition,” said Jeff Lindstrom, a member of the group. “They just don’t want to see the dam removed.”

Joliet hotel-conference center to be built in stages

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Plans for a 200room hotel and conference center on Interstate 80 at Houbolt Road appear to be moving forward.

The project would include a Holiday Inn, which also plans to open in Minooka, according to a plan approved by that village last week.

The Joliet complex will include a 120-room Holiday Inn and an 80-room Candlewood Suites connected to a conference center that would include a restaurant and fitness center.

City planner James Haller said the developer, Hospitality Guru Group of Aurora,

plans to first build the Holiday Inn. “They’ve been talking to several construction companies, so I know they’re out soliciting bids,” Haller said.

Haller said the group plans to complete construction of the Holiday Inn before starting on the Candlewood Suites project. Candlewood will feature larger suites for visitors on extended stays.

Calls by The Herald-News to Hospitality Guru Group for comment were not immediately returned.

The Holiday Inn in Minooka is being developed by Marquette Properties Inc., which expects to begin construction late this summer. That hotel would include 83 rooms.

“They’ve [Hospitality Guru Group of Aurora] been talking to several construction companies, so I know they’re out soliciting bids.”

James Haller Joliet city planner Haller said Hospitality Guru Group plans to meet with the city in the next few weeks about subdividing the property into separate lots for each hotel and the conference center.

The subdivision is a condi-

tion of the group’s financing, and would provide it with an option to sell off the buildings individually in the future should it so desire, Haller said.

The complex, anticipated to open in 2015, is expected to cost between $16 million and $20 million, according to city documents.

Joliet will provide a $2.4 million tax incentive package for the project. The tax rebate will run on a sliding scale for 10 years.

The rebate will not apply to the center’s restaurant, following objections last year by Joe Pecora, owner of the nearby Heroes West Sports Grill.

As compensation to HGG, Joliet agreed to give up $200,000 in construction-related fees

and taxes under a restructured incentive package.

Hospitality Guru Group also has hotels in Rochelle, Cincinnati, Corydon, Indiana, and Janesville, Wisconsin.

The Janesville hotel is a Holiday Inn Express with a conference center.

In the past, the city has attempted to bring a convention center downtown.

This complex would be located near Joliet Junior College’s main campus at an interchange built in the early 1990s to bring new development into the city. Several businesses have located there over the years, including the Rock Run Business Park, hotels, gas stations and restaurants.

The committee approved a separate $12,500 TIF loan for the Morris Downtown Development Partnership for a new informational sign to be built on Route 47.

The sign will broadcast local events and direct those driving on Route 47 to Morris’ downtown area, MDDP Executive Director Julie Applegate said to the committee.

Originally, Applegate asked the city for a TIF loan of more than $20,000 for the sign, but said MDDP received several donations from local organizations which will help with the cost.

The TIF loan will be termed at five years with a 1 percent interest rate.

“We’re working on other ways to save some funds, but the cost of the sign itself is about $15,000,” Applegate said.

“We certainly hope as we get other donations that we’ll be able to pay it back very quickly.”

Fourth-grade students at Pioneer Path in Channahon had hopes of adding their own artwork to the side of the District 17 bus barn near their school.

Last year’s fourth-graders were the first to paint a mural on the bus barn and this year’s students wanted a shot at painting a mural and making it a tradition for the outgoing class at Pioneer Path.

“Last year two fourth-graders developed the idea,” District 17 art teacher Megan Stytz said. “It was so successful we decided to continue it.”

Now their handiwork adorns the opposite side of the bus barn, jazzing it up and leaving a statement by the students.

The project was open to all fourth-graders, and on May 17, more than 37 of them took twohour shifts painting flowers on the wall. The result is a field of flowers personalized by each artist.

Stytz prepared the wall in advance, painting the background and outlining flower petals with chalk. Students were free to deviate from her design if they chose.

When students arrived for their shift, they planned out a design on paper so they had an idea in mind. Then they used the skills and techniques they learned in art classes to make their flowers unique.

Student Sadie Barker loves kittens, she said. So she thought long and hard beforehand about how she could incorporate them into her design.

“I came up with a cat flower,” she said.

Aiden Croft took another route. He likes mixing and experimenting with colors. He learned to draw skulls in art class so he fused the two into his flower.

Ryan Isdonas used multiple patterns in each petal, adding balance to his design.

And Kayla Widlowski made hers more realistic, using simple colors and adding shading with darker and lighter ones.

There are as many different and unique flower designs as there are students who painted them.

“I really like seeing the different things people did on their flowers,” Kayla said.

The day was not just about painting – which was a lot of fun – but also about community, Stytz said.

Ball games were happening at the Channahon Baseball fields that Saturday so the artists got a lot of attention from parents, students and players.

The students got to do something they enjoy while visiting with friends and classmates that they might not have had an opportunity to visit with before – a great way to strike up new friendships during the last few days of school.

There’s one more side to the bus barn for incoming fourthgrade students to carry on the tradition. After that, Stytz hopes there will be more buildings in the district the students can leave their mark on.

MORRIS – A Morris church could see financial assistance from the city to add new doors, bathrooms and new awnings, as well as complete other improvements.

The Morris Finance and Administration Committee agreed last week to loan Living Water Church of the Nazarene $55,000 from the city’s Tax Increment Financing Fund to complete the improvements, pending approval from City Council.

“Mayor and committee, thank you so much. We really appreciate this,” Pastor Steven Cook told the committee at a meeting Tuesday.

The loan comes from the city’s TIF fund, which includes funds generated by the city’s TIF district, or an area in which property values are frozen. The district’s property values are frozen at the value

they were assessed in 1986, when the district was created.

Tax money generated from the difference between the frozen value and what would be the current value of TIF properties goes into a special TIF fund. The TIF money then can be used to make capital improvements within the district, like the ones needed at the church.

Among the scheduled improvements is renovating the church’s marquee, which is leftover from when the building was used as Morris’ movie theater.

“That marquee has been there for years and needs some improvements,” Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said.

The church’s TIF loan will be for seven years with a 1 percent interest rate, he said.

The loan term had to be set for seven years since Morris’ current TIF district is set to expire by 2021 and the fund will need to be closed.

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

Wife says, ‘it was a good opening day for Chuck’ Joliet man played game of life to its fullest

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Chuck Bernard, 57, of Joliet, avid St. Louis Cardinals fan and youth soccer coach, knew competition.

But when Chuck was diagnosed with squamous cell carcinoma – which originated as a tumor on the back of his tongue in December 2010 – he finally met the match of his life and he tackled it head on.

“He went through six-anda-half weeks of daily radiation treatments to his throat and neck,” said Mary Kay Bernard, Chuck’s wife. “They said that was the worst [type of] radiation treatment to put anyone through.”

Chemotherapy accompanied the radiation, she added.

Treatments ended in March 2011 and Chuck was back to work in May as the operations manager for the business services group for the Greater Chicago Region Comcast.

Mary Kay hoped Chuck had defeated the cancer, but in early 2012, he became confused.

“He had six brain tumors,” Mary said. “The oncologist said this was an uncommon thing.”

Surgery removed the two largest tumors; whole brain radiation shrank the rest. Chuck returned to work. Then Chuck experienced some vision problems, but this time, cancer was not the cause.

“He had more brain surgery on the 17th of December,” Mary said, “but that was just to remove necrotic tissue around the tumor site. Everything else was OK.”

Photo provided

Chuck Bernard But by spring Chuck’s cancer had spread to his lungs and spleen. Again, Chuck underwent chemotherapy, and again, Chuck returned to work. By Halloween, Chuck’s electrolytes were off, he had reduced kidney function and the brain tumors had grown, Mary Kay said.

“He had whole brain radiation at the end of January,” Mary said, “and then never went back to work.”

John Crowley, senior vice president for Greater Chicago Region Comcast, met Chuck in 1985 when both worked for the former American Cable Systems in Romeoville, Crowley as marketing director and Chuck as his sales manager.

Crowley said fellow employees respected Chuck and considered him a quiet leader in the cable business, one who will always be a part of the Comcast team.

“He touched a lot of lives,” Crowley said. “A lot of people will miss Chuck.”

One person is Tom Kiernan

of Joliet, who worked all 50 of the St. Ray’s Holiday Basketball Tournament games with Chuck for 15 years. Chuck, Kiernan said, was compassionate, caring and funny.

Chuck and his three sons – Matthew, Jacob and Zachary – were as close as brothers, Kiernan said, and there was no mistaking the Cardinals banner hanging from the Bernard front porch. When announcing Joliet Catholic Academy games (Chuck is the former head coach for the school’s soccer program), Chuck would provide updates on Cardinals scores.

And then, Kiernan said, Chuck would add in his dulcet tones, “ ‘I’ll have the Cubs scores for you next spring.’ ” Former neighbor Steve Jamnik of Shorewood feels Chuck left an indelible impression on his three sons.

“He taught them more than just soccer,” Jamnik said. “He molded them into men.”

Ironically, Mary Kay said, one nurse from Joliet Area Community Hospice sported Chicago Cubs T-shirts and a Chicago Cubs tattoo. On March 31, before Chuck died, Mary tuned into the broadcasts of the season’s first games for him. To everyone’s satisfaction, the St. Louis Cardinals won and the Chicago Cubs lost.

“It was a good opening day for Chuck,” Mary Kay said.

“We are very excited about this. It’s a positive thing for those impacted by the tornado to see.

It lets them know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

Terry Kernc Mayor of Diamond

and the documents together.”

Kernc called the funds “a silver lining” to November’s tornado and said she hopes the roads come out looking better

then they did before the storm.

Valerio Road in Coal City is one road that will see a makeover. The road is gravel and was used as an alternate route during the storm response period. Fritz said the village spent a significant amount of money to keep the road maintained for the increased traffic.

With the new IDOT funds, Valerio will be upgraded to a tar and chip road.

“That’s going to be a major improvement,” Fritz said.

Coal City also will be repairing sections of Carbon Hill and Will roads and Richards Street.

In Diamond, the money will be used to repair Will, Berta and Spring roads as well as several intersections within Dia-

mond Estates, Sterling Estates and Farmstone subdivisions.

All three communities are teaming together to repair the intersection of Spring and Berta roads, which was one of the more heavily damaged areas.

The communities will go out for bid together in an effort to save money on the project cost, Kernc said.

They aim to have all repairs completed before the end of this construction season, Fritz said.

“The governor is fast-tracking this,” Kernc said. “IDOT is working very closely with us.

The governor is being made aware of everything as it happens, because he wants everything to be restored by the end of this construction season.”

COAL CITY – Help is on the way to Coal City and Diamond to repair roads that all but crumbled when tornado cleanup commenced last fall, which brought a continual parade of dump trucks and other heavy equipment through the area.

Diamond, Coal City and Braceville Township will receive nearly $1 million from the Illinois Department of Transportation to repair local roads damaged during tornado cleanup.

On Nov. 17, an EF2 tornado – with winds faster than 120 mph – ripped through the area, damaging more than 200 homes and businesses. Coal City and Diamond will each receive more than $400,000 from IDOT, and

Braceville will receive about $200,000.

“We are very excited about this. It’s a positive thing for those impacted by the tornado to see,” Diamond Mayor Terry Kernc said. “It lets them know there is a light at the end of the tunnel.”

The funding was announced late last month and should be dispersed to the communities soon, Coal City Administrator Matt Fritz said. Coal City approved the IDOT agreement at its village board meeting Tuesday.

“IDOT is pushing as quick as they can to get the dollars to us,” Fritz said. “But it’s going to take a little bit of time to get all of the engineering ready

Churchill’s daughter dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS LONDON – Mary Soames, the last surviving child of British World War II leader Winston Churchill, has died. She was 91.

Her son, Nicholas Soames, said she died Saturday evening after a short illness.

“She was a distinguished writer and led a distinguished life, with her service in the war, and is part of that generation which is passing,” Nicholas Soames said Sunday.

He said it was “extraordinary timing” that Churchill’s last remaining child died just before the 70th anniversary of D-Day, which falls on June 6.

“It is the great swing of history,” he said.

Born Sept. 15, 1922, Mary Soames was the youngest of five children of Churchill and his wife Clementine.

As her father led Britain’s fight against Nazi Germa-

ny during World War II, she joined first the Red Cross and later military units. She served in London, Belgium and Germany with anti-aircraft batteries of the army’s Auxiliary Territorial Service.

She also accompanied her father on several of overseas journeys, including the postwar planning conference in Potsdam, Germany, attended

by U.S. President Harry S. Truman and Soviet leader Joseph Stalin.

After the war, she married Conservative politician Christopher Soames, becoming Lady Soames when he was made a peer.

Soames wrote several books about her family, including a well-received biography of her mother, and was a patron of many nonprofit groups. She is survived by five children, including Nicholas, a Conservative member of Parliament.

Tax question looms over Illinois governor’s race

SPRINGFIELD – The end of Illinois lawmakers’ spring session leaves Gov. Pat Quinn pursuing re-election in a position he wasn’t seeking: Without the money he says is necessary to avoid deep budget cuts, teacher layoffs and higher property taxes, but not having to sign off on an income tax increase before the November vote.

The situation, with Democrats likely to seek new revenues after the election, sets up a summer of tough campaigning between Quinn and Republican Bruce Rauner in a race that is expected to be one of the most expensive and competitive nationwide.

Quinn has openly advocated for an extension of the state’s 2011 temporary tax hike, which cost a typical taxpayer more than $1,000 this year. But with the election and voters in mind, fellow Democrats adjourned with an alternative budget after coming up well short of the votes needed to back a tax increase, despite the governor’s personal appeals to them.

On one hand, Quinn can claim he has been upfront with voters, laying out the state’s dire financial situation even if it meant embracing a politically unpopular idea, while Rauner has remained mum about details of what he wants to do if the tax rolls back in January and leaves a roughly $1.8 billion revenue hole.

On the other hand, Quinn faces voters who know he’s likely to quickly push for the tax hike after the vote. And he wasn’t able to sway his own party on his agenda, showing a lack of Democratic unity behind him and the persistent challenge he has in influencing lawmakers in Springfield.

Gay couples start to legally wed in throughout Illinois

CHICAGO – Gay and lesbian couples across Illinois began to legally wed in all of the state’s 102 counties Sunday as a law allowing same-sex marriage took effect.

June 1 marked the first day every county could begin issuing marriage licenses to gay couples, after a piecemeal start where some county officials began granting licenses months ago following a federal court ruling.

Gay couples and civil rights advocates across the state marked the date with blessing ceremonies and group weddings, and several county clerks briefly opened their offices to issue licenses for those not wanting to wait for Monday morning.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed the

state’s gay marriage law in November, but last February, a federal court ruling in Chicago declared Illinois’ original ban unconstitutional.

That cleared the way for some same-sex couples to marry.

In a statement Sunday, Quinn said Illinois is now on the “right side of history.”

At least 1 dead after boat capsizes on Lake Michigan

CHICAGO – A woman on a boat that capsized miles from Chicago’s shoreline died Sunday after being pulled from Lake Michigan, and the U.S. Coast Guard said crews were conducting an air and water search for as many as four other people.

The Cook County medical examiner’s office confirmed the woman’s death Sunday after-

noon, but had no other details.

A fisherman pulled a man who had been on the boat from the lake around 6:15 a.m. Sunday.

He was taken to a hospital in critical condition. Rescuers pulled the woman from the 60-degree water a few hours later.

PEORIA – Officials said police in Peoria have found a badly decomposed woman’s body in a drainage ditch.

The Journal Star reported the body was found Saturday afternoon. Peoria County Coroner Johnna Ingersoll said an autopsy was planned, but the body was in an advanced stage of decomposition.

Ingersoll said the coroner’s office planned to use dental records to identify the woman.

High school teacher charged with cyberstalking

HIGHLAND PARK – An Illinois high school substitute teacher who was recently fired from his job has been charged with cyberstalking.

WMAQ-TV reported that 40-year-old Steven Habay is facing one felony charge of cyberstalking and a misdemeanor charge of harassment using an electronic device.

Highland Park police said Habay worked at a local high school and was fired Wednesday after an internal personnel investigation.

He was then denied access to the school and its computer. Police said he then started posting “disparaging rants” online, which prompted the criminal investigation. The man was arrested Friday afternoon at his parents’ home, where he lives.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS States move to blunt Obama carbon plan JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – As President Barack Obama prepares to announce tougher new air quality standards, lawmakers in several states already are trying to blunt the impact on aging coal-fired power plants that feed electricity to millions of consumers.

The push against Obama’s new carbon emission standards has been strongest in some states that have large coal-mining industries or rely heavily on coal to fuel their electricity. State officials said the new federal regulations could jeopardize the jobs of thousands of workers and drive up the monthly electric bills of residents and businesses.

It remains to be seen whether new measures passed by the states will amount to mere political symbolism or actually temper what’s expected to be an aggressive federal effort to reduce the country’s reliance on coal. But either way, states likely will play a pivotal role, because federal clean air laws leave it up to each state to come up its own plan for complying with the emission guidelines.

The proposed Environmental Protection Agency rules to be announced Monday could be the first to apply to carbon dioxide emissions at existing power plants.

Official: Recovering fallen climbers too dangerous MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK, Wash. – Rescuers likely know the final resting place of six

climbers who set out last week to attempt one of the most technical and physically grueling routes to the peak of Mount Rainier in Washington state. But the danger of recovering the bodies of the two guides and four climbers believed to have fallen 3,300 feet from their last known location is too great, park officials said.

The climbers were last heard from at 6 p.m. Wednesday when the guides checked in with their Seattle-based company, Alpine Ascents International, by satellite phone. The group failed to return Friday as planned.

They are presumed dead in one of the worst alpine accidents on Rainier since 1981.

Trial results promising for curing puppies’ parvo GRAND FORKS, N.D. – A North Dakota company that discovered an antibody technology while trying to cure flocks of dying geese is using its research for a more warm and fuzzy purpose: saving puppies.

Early tests performed on about 50 puppies in seven states for Grand Forks-based Avianax have resulted in a 90 percent cure rate for canine parvovirus, which spreads through animal waste and direct contact between dogs, usually at kennels, shelters and shows. Some puppies die from the virus and others are euthanized because the antibiotics and other medicine needed to treat it can be too expensive and take too long.

Accompanied by President Barack Obama, Jani Bergdahl and Bob Bergdahl speak during a news conference Saturday in the Rose Garden of the White House in Washington on Saturday about the release of their son, U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl.

U.S. defends captive swap with Taliban, critics stir

By LOLITA C. BALDOR and CALVIN WOODWARD The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Five years a captive from the Afghanistan war, Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl is back in American hands, freed for five Guantanamo terrorism detainees in a swap stirring sharp debate in Washington over whether the U.S. should have negotiated with the Taliban over prisoners.

U.S. officials said Sunday that Bergdahl’s health and safety appeared in jeopardy, prompting rapid action to secure his release. Republicans said the deal could place U.S. troops in danger, especially if the freed detainees return to the fight – one called it “shocking.” Arizona Sen. John McCain said of the five detainees, “These are the hardest of the hard core.”

Visiting troops in Afghanistan, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel stepped forward at Bagram Air Field to thank the special operations forces who retrieved Bergdahl, who

officials said was the only American prisoner of war still held by insurgents in that conflict. Gen. Joseph Dunford spoke of the excitement that spread through U.S. ranks when the sergeant’s release was confirmed. “You almost got choked up,” he said. “It was pretty extraordinary.”

Tireless campaigners for their son’s freedom, Bob and Jani Bergdahl thanked all who were behind the effort to retrieve him. “You were not left behind,” Bob Bergdahl told reporters, as if speaking to his son. “We are so proud of the way this was carried out.”

He spoke in Boise, Idaho, as residents in the sergeant’s hometown of Hailey prepared for a homecoming celebration.

Hagel was met with silence when he told troops in a Bagram hangar: “This is a happy day. We got one of our own back.” It was unclear whether the absence of cheers and applause came from a reluctance to display emotion in front of the Pentagon chief or from any doubts among the troops

about Bergdahl.

In weighing the swap, U.S. officials decided it could help the effort to reach reconciliation with the Taliban, which the U.S. sees as key to more security in Afghanistan. But they acknowledged the risk that the deal would embolden insurgents, perhaps encouraging them to grab U.S. troops or citizens as bargaining chips for the release of others in U.S. custody.

Republicans pressed that point. “Have we just put a price on other U.S. soldiers?” said Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas.

“What does this tell terrorists, that if you capture a U.S. soldier, you can trade that soldier for five terrorists?”

“I’m going to celebrate him coming home,” said Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois. But the release of “five mid- to high-level Taliban is shocking to me, especially without coming to Congress.”

Republicans also said the deal violated requirements that Congress be given 30 days’ notice before any exchange of captives at Guantanamo.

Senate to take up new VA bill after scandal

By DINA CAPPIELLO The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Details of a refashioned bill to address the problems plaguing the federally run veterans’ health care system were released Sunday by its sponsor, the chairman of the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, a Vermont Independent, posted a summary of his bill Sunday and said it would be introduced this week.

The bill includes several new provisions aimed at fixing the long delays for veterans’ care. The long-simmering issue erupted into a scandal in April and led to last week’s resignation of VA Secretary Eric Shinseki Sen. Bernie after a federal Sanders investigation I-Vermont into the troubled Phoenix VA Health Care System found that about 1,700 veterans in need of care were “at risk of be- Sen. John ing lost or for- McCain gotten” after R-Arizona being kept off an official waiting list.

The investigation also found broad and deep-seated problems throughout the sprawling health care system, which provides medical care to about 6.5 million veterans annually.

Sanders said in a statement issued Sunday that while the people who have

lied or manipulated data must be punished, “we also need to get to the root causes of the problems that have been exposed.”

The bill would allow veterans facing long delays to seek care outside the VA, at private doctors’ offices, military bases or community health centers. It also authorizes emergency funding to hire new doctors and nurses and would provide scholarships or forgive college loans for doctors and nurses who go to work at the VA. In addition, it would give the department authority to fire poor-performing executives, but not as broadly as a bill passed in the House and defeated in the Senate last month.

An earlier version of Sanders’ bill did not have enough support to pass in February.

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Sunday that the key to fixing the problem was giving veterans the flexibility to get the care they need at the closest, most available place.

“And that’s the solution to this problem is flexibility to the veteran to choose their health care, just like other people under other health care plans have the – are able to do,” McCain, a Vietnam veteran, said on CBS’ Face the Nation. “Why doesn’t that veteran have a card and go to the caregiver that he or she needs and wants?”

The VA spent about $4.8 billion last year on medical care at non-VA hospitals and clinics. That amounts to about 10 percent of health care costs for the Veterans Health Administration.

French survivors keep D-Day gratitude alive

By CATHERINE GASCHKA and ANGELA CHARLTON The Associated Press SAINTE-MERE-EGLISE, France – Andree Auvray, nine months pregnant, was hiding from German bombings in a Normandy ditch with her husband one night in June 1944 when their dogs started barking. The shadows of three soldiers appeared.

“We both came out to see what was going on,” she recalls. She initially thought the men were the Nazi occupiers who had upended life in her quiet farming village.

“And then I said ‘No, it’s not the Germans!’

The soldiers were Americans. D-Day had begun.

Auvray relives that wrenching time with clarity and a growing sense of urgency. Seventy years have passed since the Allied invasion of Normandy helped turn the tide against Hitler. With their numbers rapidly diminishing, she and other French women and men who owe their freedom to D-Day’s fighters are more determined than ever to keep alive the memory of the battle and its meaning.

As President Barack

Obama and other world leaders prepare to gather in Normandy next week to mark the 70th anniversary of the battle, French survivors are speaking to schools, conferences, tourists, filmmakers about their experiences, and their gratitude.

That’s especially important to Auvray’s hometown of Sainte-Mere-Eglise, the first village liberated by the Allies after D-Day. About 15,000 paratroopers landed in and around the town not long after midnight on June 6, 1944, and seized it from the Germans at 4:30 a.m.

An American flag was raised in front of the town hall.

During the drop, American paratrooper John Steele’s parachute got caught on the church spire. For two hours, Steele hung there, feigning death before being taken prisoner by the Germans. Today, a dummy paratrooper hangs from the spire in his honor.

Henri-Jean Renaud was an excitable 10-year-old the night the Americans landed, and his father was the town mayor.

“Waves of planes came, paratroopers landed, and one hour later – after vari-

ous events and fighting on the square between Germans and Americans – [my father] came back home,” Renaud recounts. “He was all excited, saying ‘There you go, it’s the [D-Day] landing, it has finally happened!’”

While the population was grateful to the Americans, cohabitation was not easy that first day.

“The civilians were trying to make friends with them [the Americans], were showing gestures of sympathy, but at the very beginning it wasn’t the hugging and kissing that one like to bring to mind, at least in Sainte-MereEglise,” he says.

“You have to put yourself in the shoes of these guys.

They had been up for thirty-six hours, they had been parachuted by night in a hostile environment, and I also think that even the bravest ones were scared,” Renaud explains.

Renaud’s mother, who spoke fluent English, dedicated her life to honoring the American soldiers who gave their lives to free SainteMere-Eglise, and stayed in touch with their families until her death.

By JASON DEAREN The Associated Press SAN FRANCISCO – Some drought-stricken rivers and streams in Northern California’s coastal forests are being polluted and sucked dry by water-guzzling medical marijuana farms, wildlife officials say – an issue that has spurred at least one county to try to outlaw personal grows.

State fish and wildlife officials say much of the marijuana being grown in northern counties under the state’s medical pot law is not being used for legal, personal use, but for sale both in California and states where pot still is illegal.

This demand is fueling backyard and larger-scale pot farming, especially in remote Lake, Humboldt and

Mendocino counties on the densely forested North Coast, officials said.

“People are coming in, denuding the hillsides, damming the creeks and mixing in fertilizers that are not allowed in the U.S. into our watersheds,” said Denise Rushing, a Lake County supervisor who supports an ordinance essentially banning outdoor grows in populated areas.

“When rains come, it flows downstream into the lake and our water supply,” she said.

Many affected waterways also contain endangered salmon, steelhead and other creatures protected by state and federal law.

Wildlife biologists noticed streams running dry more often over the 18 years since the state passed Proposition 215,

By NASSER KARIMI The Associated Press TEHRAN, Iran – Authorities held a commemoration Sunday for a commander of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guards who was killed in Syria, the Islamic Republic’s state news agency reported.

The death of Gen. Abdollah Eskandari underscores Iran’s high-level, hands-on involvement in the Syrian conflict, where it has sided with its close ally, President Bashar Assad, to quell an uprising against his rule. The uprising began as largely peaceful protests in March 2011, but has since spun into a three-year-old civil war.

The official IRNA news agency said the country’s defense minister sent a condolence message in which he said Eskandari was killed as he joined defenders of the Sayida Zeinab shrine. The site, holy to Shiite Muslims, is south of the capital, Damascus, in an area contested by rebels and pro-government forces. IRNA did not say when he died.

Iran is a regional Shiite power. It has provided training, weapons and cash to help support Assad, but the govern-

ment has said its military officers only serve in an advisory role. Rebels and anti-government activists say Iran has sent combat troops, something the Islamic Republic denies.

In Syria, activists and Lebanese media reported intensified shelling targeting government-held areas of the northern Syrian city of Aleppo.

Rami Abdurrahman of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and the Lebanese channel al-Mayadeen, which closely follows the conflict, said rebels fired mortar shells and gas canisters packed with explosives.

Those weapons cannot be precisely targeted.

Al-Mayadeen said Sunday that about 30 people were killed in the past three days. Abdurrahman couldn’t confirm the casualty figures but said the killed included a family of 13 people whose home was hit last week.

Syria’s military, meanwhile, has been dropping crude barrel bombs over rebel-held areas in Aleppo that have killed nearly 2,000 civilians since January, according to the Observatory, which relies on a network of activists on the ground to follow the war.

and that pot plants can use far less water, depending on size.

He compared that information with government data on stream flows, and visited 32 sites with other biologists to verify the mapping data. He said most grow sites had posted notices identifying them as medical pot farms.

Pot farm pollution has become such a problem in Lake County, south of Bauer’s study area, that officials voted unanimously last year to ban outdoor grows.

“Counties are the ultimate arbiter of land use conflict, so while you have a right to grow marijuana for medicinal use, you don’t have a right to impinge on someone else’s happiness and wellbeing,” Rushing said.

Saying they were being demonized, pot users chal-

lenged the law, and gathered enough signatures to place a referendum on the June 3 ballot. They argue that grow restrictions like the ones being voted on in Lake County lump the responsible users in with criminals.

“We definitely feel environmental issues are a concern. But more restrictive ... ordinances will force people to start growing in unregulated and illegal places on public land,” said Daniel McClean, a registered nurse and medical marijuana user who opposes the outdoor-grow ban.

While some counties are trying to help regulate the environmental effects of pot farms, Bauer hopes his study will lead to better collaboration with growers to help police illegal use of water and pesticides.

NATION BRIEFS Obama to urge Europe to keep pressure on Russia WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama will press European leaders this week to keep up pressure on Russia over its threatening moves in Ukraine, while seeking to assuage fears from Poland and other NATO allies that the West could slip back into a business-as-usual relationship with Moscow.

Obama’s four day trip to Poland, Belgium and France comes against the backdrop of successful national elections in Ukraine and signs that Russia is moving most of its troops off its shared border with the former Soviet republic. Yet violence continues to rage in eastern Ukrainian cities and there remains deep uncertainty about whether Ukraine’s new president-elect can stabilize his country.

U.S. officials contend that, even with some signs of progress, Russia has not taken the necessary steps to ease tensions and could still face additional economic sanctions.

Obama will look for Western allies to show a united front during a meeting of the Group of Seven major industrial na-

tions that was quickly arranged after leaders decided to boycott a meeting Russia had been scheduled to host this week.

But at least some parts of Obama’s visit will challenge the notion that the West has isolated Moscow. Russian President Vladmir Putin is scheduled to join U.S. and European leaders in France on Friday for a day of events marking the 70th anniversary of the D-Day invasion at Normandy. Putin also will hold one-on-one talks with French President Francois Hollande, his first meeting with a Western leader since the Ukraine crisis began.

The White House says Obama will not hold a formal bilateral meeting with Putin, though the two leaders are expected to have some contact.

New York database aids doctors, patients ALBANY, N.Y. – New York is quietly building one of the nation’s largest computer databases of medical records, a system that when finished will allow patients and doctors alike to see complete health histories in one place and promises to save millions in

costs by avoiding redundant tests and unneeded hospital admissions.

People who visit emergency rooms are less likely to be admitted when they’re enrolled in the program, and repeat radiological scans and hospital readmissions are also less likely, according to initial limited studies done around Rochester, New York’s third-largest city.

“The value to society is also tremendous in avoiding unnecessary and redundant health care,” said Dr. Rainu Kaushal, chairwoman of Weill Cornell Medical College’s Department of Healthcare Policy and Research, who conducted the Rochester studies on the system, known as SHIN-NY – which stands for the State Health Information Network for New York and is pronounced “shiny.”

There’s a broader effort nationally to advance medicine from paper to computer files.

The Veterans Administration, for instance, already has centralized records for nearly 3 million people that both patients and doctors can look at.

Iran holds ceremony for commander killed in Syria

but weren’t sure why.

“We knew people were diverting water for marijuana operations, but we wanted to know exactly how much,” said Scott Bauer, the department biologist who studied the pot farms’ effects on four watersheds. “We didn’t know they could consume all the water in a stream.”

So Bauer turned to Google mapping technology and satellite data to find out where the many gardens are, and how many plants each contained.

His study estimates that about 30,000 pot plants were being grown in each river system – and he estimates that each plant uses about six gallons a day over marijuana’s 150-day growing season. Some growers and others argue the six-gallon estimate is high,

Suspect in museum killings went to Syria

By JOHN–THOR DAHLBURG and ELAINE GANLEY The Associated Press PARIS – A suspected French jihadist who spent time in Syria has been arrested over the shooting deaths of three people at a Belgian Jewish museum, prosecutors said Sunday, crystalizing fears that European radicals will parlay their experiences in Syria into terrorism back home.

When Mehdi Nemmouche was arrested in southern France on Friday, he was in possession of firearms, a large quantity of ammunition and a video claiming responsibility for the May 24 attack at the Jewish Museum in Brussels, a Belgian prosecutor said.

In a one-minute rampage that deeply shook Europe’s Jewish community, a gunman opened fire at the Brussels museum. In addition to the fatalities, another person was gravely wounded.

Authorities raised anti-terror alert levels as they searched for the attacker. But it was ultimately a customs inspection in the French port

city of Marseille that turned up Nemmouche, as he disembarked from a bus coming from Amsterdam, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said.

The suspect had a revolver and a retractable automatic weapon like those used in the Brussels attack, and ballistics analyses were underway to determine if they were the same weapons, Molins said.

At least one of the weapons was wrapped up in a white sheet scrawled with the name of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, an extremist group fighting in Syria, Molins said. The group has also waged attacks in Iraq.

Nemmouche, a Frenchborn 29-year-old from the northern city of Roubaix, had a criminal record, with seven convictions for crimes like attempted robbery – but nothing related to terrorism, Molins said.

He said the suspect became radicalized in prison, and left for Syria just three weeks after his last prison stay in late 2012, going to Syria via Brussels, London and Istanbul.

He said the suspect had spent about a year in Syria, though

“The new elements in this investigation draw attention once more to the problem of the ‘returnees’ – in other words the people going to Syria to participate in combat and return afterward to our country.”

Frederic Van Leeuw Belgian federal prosecutor

it is unclear why he went and what he did while there.

A video found in the suspect’s possession shows weapons and clothes akin to the gunman’s, and includes a voice claiming responsibility for the “attack in Brussels against Jews,” Belgian federal prosecutor Frederic Van Leeuw said. He said it wasn’t certain whether the voice was that of the suspect.

The narrator says he tried to film the killings on May 24 live, but that his camera failed, Van Leeuw said. When apprehended, the suspect had a GoPro camera in his possession, the Belgian prosecutor said.

Belgian police carried out

raids in the Courtrai region of Belgium on Sunday morning, where the suspect is believed to have spent time, and were questioning two people there, Van Leeuw said.

The suspect has been handed to anti-terrorist investigators and could be held at least through Tuesday under French counterterrorism law.

“The new elements in this investigation draw attention once more to the problem of the ‘returnees’ – in other words the people going to Syria to participate in combat and return afterward to our country,” Van Leeuw said.

Interior ministers from around the European Union

are expected to focus on better ways to stem Syria-related violence when they meet in Brussels on Thursday.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve called Sunday for better international coordination on the issue.

His Belgian counterpart, Joelle Milquet, called the returnees “a generalized problem for all of Europe.”

The Brussels killings, which came on the eve of European Parliament elections in which far right parties had a strong showing, led Belgian officials to boost their anti-terror measures, and raised fears of rising anti-Semitism.

Two Israeli tourists and a French citizen were killed in the museum attack, and a fourth victim remains hospitalized hovering between life and death, the Belgian prosecutor said Sunday.

The European Jewish Congress welcomed the arrest and urged European authorities to act faster and more aggressively to prevent such crimes.

The suspect has said nothing to investigators so far during his interrogations, Molins said.

Al-Qaida decentralized, but not necessarily weaker

By DEB RIECHMANN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Al-Qaida has decentralized, yet it’s unclear whether the terrorist network is weaker and less likely to launch a Sept. 11-style attack against the United States, as President Barack Obama said, or remains potent despite the deaths of several leaders.

Obama said in his foreign policy speech last week that the prime threat comes not from al-Qaida’s core leadership, but from affiliates and extremists with their sights trained on targets in the Middle East and Africa, where they are based.

This lessens the possibility of large-scale 9/11-type attacks against America, the president said.

“But it heightens the danger of U.S. personnel overseas being attacked, as we saw in Benghazi,” he said, referring to the September 2012 attack

on a U.S. diplomatic outpost in Libya that killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans.

Experts argue that this restructured al-Qaida is perhaps even stronger than it has been in recent years, and that the potential for attacks on U.S. soil endures.

“We have never been on a path to strategically defeat al-Qaida. All we’ve been able to do is suppress some of its tactical abilities. But strategically, we have never had an effective way of taking it on. That’s why it continues to mutate, adapt and evolve to get stronger,” said David Sedney, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia.

Decentralization does not mean weakness, he said.

“I think Americans think al-Qaida is no longer a threat – that Osama bin Laden’s death means al-Qaida is not a big

David Sedney former deputy assistant secretary of defense for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Central Asia thing anymore,” Sedney said.

He believes al-Qaida is gaining strength in Pakistan, is stronger in Iraq than it was three or four years ago and is stronger in Syria than it was a year or two ago.

“This is a fight about ideology. Al-Qaida is not this leader or that leader or this group or that group,” he said.

The experts say al-Qaida today looks less like a wheel with spokes and more like a

spider web stringing together like-minded groups. But they believe there are several reasons that those who track al-Qaida warn against complacency.

While bin Laden was killed and his leadership team heavily damaged by U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, the drawdown of American forces in neighboring Afghanistan will dry up field intelligence and restrict the effectiveness of

U.S. counterterrorism operations. There is a worry that a pullback could allow al-Qaida to regroup.

Moreover, they worry about the thousands of foreign fighters flocking to the civil war in Syria, which has emboldened the al-Qaida breakaway group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant to expand its cross-border operations into neighboring countries such as Iraq.

ANOTHER VIEW

Saving birds is worthwhile The prairie chicken is the logo of the Illinois Endangered Protection Species Board, so you would think that efforts to save the bird that once was found in almost every county in Illinois would be welcomed.

But some pundits consider state spending to fly prairie chickens from Kansas to Illinois to replenish the population here a joke and the latest example of waste in state government.

There’s nothing funny about trying to restore a population of birds that was once 14 million strong. The population has declined to 62. That’s not a typo. There were only 62 prairie chickens a large North American grouse left in Illinois. That’s actually an improvement from 1994, when there were about 30. The population rebounded in the late 1990s until about 2012 because of a translocation project similar to what is being done today. However, drought and a severe hailstorm decimated the population.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has initiated a three-year project intended to save the prairie chicken. The IDNR received $337,500 from a federal grant, used $181,730 of its own money and received a $30,000 contribution from the Illinois Audubon Society. The plane rides are paid for out of that money.

The money is being used for its intended purpose wildlife and fish restoration.

It’s not general revenue tax money. The state’s share comes from hunting and fishing license fees, stamps and other fees paid by sportsmen and sportswom-

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

en in Illinois.

The Illinois Audubon Society and IDNR have worked together to make Prairie Ridge State Natural Area a suitable habitat for “36 species of special concern, including 16 state endangered, eight state threatened, five watch list, and six area sensitive species,” according to the IDNR website.

Whether Illinois should have its own state aircraft is a legitimate debate.

However, we’d rather see the planes used to restore wildlife than be used to transport politicians from Chicago to Springfield and back. If you want to be angry at something, be angry that we allowed habitat to be destroyed without a thought about the effect on nature. You also can be angry that if a 2004 project to save the prairie chicken hadn’t been put on a shelf, the birds might be OK here.

If you remember, in 2004 Illinois had a governor who had little concern for the outdoors. Rod Blagojevich nearly killed the IDNR by cutting its budget in half and hiring political hacks to run the agency.

Nationwide, the state of the prairie chicken is precarious. Prairie chickens can be found in parts of 10 states with decent numbers in Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. However, the overall picture isn’t good.

In the next five to 10 years there could be four additional states where the prairie chicken is all but wiped out.

If you care about wildlife, you should cheer the effort to save the prairie chicken.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR FIX STATE’S BUDGET HOLE To the Editor: Failure to extend the Illinois income tax increase will revert Illinois to the bad old days of reduced state funding to grammar and high schools, colleges and universities, late paying of the state’s bills and deferred pension payments, a reduction of the state’s already bad credit rating and increased reliance on property taxes especially for schools.

Much of the past income tax increase went to fund pensions negotiated by local districts but paid by the state and are woefully under funded.

We can start fixing the state’s budget hole by amending the Constitution, moving government employees off pensions to

POLITICIANS NEED TO KEEP PROMISES To the Editor: Reading the article “State lawmakers mum on tax increase” (Sunday, May 25, 2014, edition of The Herald-News) really shows lack of character in our elected representatives.

They ran for office on the premise of assuring our state income tax returns to the 3.75 percent rate.

Now they act as if they have had the sudden epiphany that cuts must be made if the increase is not retained.

The average citizen realized that cuts would have to be made. That leaves only two possibilities for their turn-about.

They are either not very bright, or liars, and we know they were smart enough to get elected.

Now they count on the forgetfulness of the average voter. I hope they are wrong.

We need our politicians to hold true to their promises. It is getting harder every year for them to make any inroads in spending cuts. Including the powerful government unions, there are more people living off the government than supporting it.

Remember, only the private sector adds to the pot. And our current political attitude of raising taxes to offset the burden of our increased spending is driving private industry from Illinois.

APPLY LAWN CARE ORDINANCES EQUALLY To the Editor:

I would like to comment on the grass and weed ordinance the Joliet city council passed about the height of the grass and weeds have to be before they will cut it for you.

I am talking about the homes along I-55 where the new mall is suppose to be built.

The property was sold six years ago and every year the weeds and grass get several feet high with the city doing nothing about it.

I guess it depends on who owns the property if they will do something about it or not.

It is a disgusting eyesore and I wont even get into the safety problems with the abandoned homes.

2012 runner-up Nathan finishes second again

By DENNIS NELSON Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – To say Dusty Drenth got off to a hot start in the second and final round of the Joliet Amateur men’s golf championship Sunday at Wedgewood Golf Course would be a understatement.

The Davenport, Iowa, native trailed by one stroke entering the second round. He shot 4-under-par through the first six holes on his way to capturing the 49th annual event.

“I got off to a hot start then I played with the mindset of trying to birdie every hole,” Drenth said.

Drenth finished with a 7-under-par 137 during the two-day tournament. He shot a 68 Saturday and came into Sunday’s final round one shot back of Kyle Nathan’s 67.

Drenth turned the tables by shooting a 3-under 69 to beat the 2012 runner-up by four strokes.

“Kyle is a good player, and I had to play pretty darn well to beat him,” Drenth said of Nathan, who shot a two-day total of 141. “He missed a lot of close putts. If some of those went in, it would have been a different tournament.”

“Dusty played very, very well and it was fun to watch,” Nathan said. “He played great and had a great tournament.

I never could really make the putts that would make it close to see what happens. I hit a lot of good putts that sat on the lip or were just short. That happens from time to time.”

Drenth parred the first hole. An eagle on No. 2 gave him the lead. After a bogey, Drenth birdied Nos. 4, 5 and 6.

“I’ve been playing really well and practicing a lot so it’s starting to pay off,” Drenth said. “If I play well, I have the potential to play with anybody.”

Drenth came in first place. BELOW: Kyle Nathan watches his drive Sunday from the first tee and came in second place with a score of 141.

Drenth’s hot start did not affect Nathan through the front.

“I was trying to not let it affect me for the first 10 or 11 holes,” Nathan said. “Then, I said I have to make some putts and some birdies quickly if I want to get back into it.”

He never did, shooting a 2-over 74 Sunday.

“I felt good coming into today,” Nathan said. “But I would have liked to have played a little better today.”

“The course played a lot different today than yesterday,” said Drenth, who took second in the Will County Amateur a month ago in Crete. “It was a test of golf out here. The pins were a little tricked out, but it was fun.”

Chadd Slutzky was the only other golfer under par,

taking third with a 1-under, 143.

Kyle Kochevar and Brian Burlington tied for fourth among 91 golfers who made the cut after Saturday’s round with a two-day total of evenpar 144.

James Connors was next at 145.

“This field is legit,” Drenth said. “To win by what I did and put up those numbers is a confidence booster for me.”

“This is a great event, I love this place so I was pretty happy,” Nathan said. “Two years ago I got second. I have to turn those into a first one of these years.”

“I’ll be back next year, that’s for sure,” Drenth said.

CLASS 3A BOYS TRACK AND FIELD FINALS

Jatis earns third place in pole vault

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

Clark Brooks for Shaw Media

Plainfield Central’s Luke Winder celebrates his record setting vault Saturday in the Class 3A pole vault event at the track and field state finals in Charleston. He won this year’s state title and set a new record with his best vault at 17 feet, 3 inches. last 100, but that wasn’t going to happen. He’s the only kid all year who beat me. I messed up in prelims last year, so I was so happy to make the finals and be the second-seed.”

Jatis emerged as one of the top finishers from a field of 15 finalists in the pole vault. He becomes just the third Celtic to earn a medal in the event, joining Jessie Lopez (1979) and Chad Weaver (2012-13), who also claimed third-place finishes.

Considering that Winder was a prohibitive favorite to win the event and this was Jatis’ first state trip, a third-place showing was gladly accepted.

The Celtic junior went 14-9 to edge Rockford Jefferson’s Anthony Mazzola for third place. Winder won with a new state meet mark of 17-3, which was two feet higher than the effort of the runner-up, Bloomington’s Steven Bradford.

“This feels great,” Jatis said. “This is big since I’m a junior and this was my first time making it down here. I was a little nervous for prelims and on my first couple of jumps in the finals. I went 14-9, which wasn’t my PR, but I’ll take it for third place. It was a great experience and I’m taking it all in. Hopefully next year I can come home with first place.”

CHARLESTON – With the way that Plainfield Central’s Kahmari Montgomery and Luke Winder performed at Saturday’s Class 3A boys track and field finals, many athletes had to resign themselves to the fact that they were not going to finish on top of the awards stand.

But that said, there’s certainly no shame in being second- or third-best in one of the top competitions in the nation, especially when plenty of other capable performers ran into some bad luck and came away empty-handed.

Minooka senior Chris Wilson and Providence Catholic junior Andy Jatis finished among the top competitors in their events and were pretty pleased to be positioned so close to the Wildcats’ two state champions on the awards stand.

Wilson was the runner-up to Montgomery in the 400 while Jatis finished third in the pole vault behind Winder, who repeated as the pole vault champion. In addition, Montgomery took top honors in the 200 to cap an historic day for their program.

The Indians were hoping that they could turn in their program’s best-ever state showing, and despite Wilson’s best efforts, they fell a bit short by placing 10th with 23 points.

In the 400, Wilson posted a time of 47.4 seconds, which was well ahead of Homewood-Flossmoor’s Matt Anyiwo (48.11), who took third, but also a ways behind Montgomery (46.82).

Only two Indians ever fared better at state in an individual event, champions Tom Clennon (1 mile and 2 mile in 1977) and Scott Moss (discus in 2001).

Minooka also has won two relay titles, including in the 4x400 last season, which Wilson ran with.

He also was on sixth-place 4x100 and 4x400 squads on Saturday to give him six medals in relay races during the past three years, as well as his first individual medal, establishing a new program record of seven, shattering the old mark of four medals.

“This feels great,” Wilson said.

“That was the goal. I knew that he would do phenomenal but I had high hopes and tried to stick with him and thought maybe I could get him in the

While there were some tough tales from Saturday’s finals, including Plainfield South senior Dan Lathrop missing out on a medal in the 3,200 by one place for the second straight year, there were as many good stories.

Plainfield North senior Manny Bofah fell one spot shy of a medal in the high jump a year ago and didn’t want to experience that feeling again. Despite going up against a tough field, Bofah went 6-7 to claim seventh place in the event.

Later in the meet, his teammate, junior Annile Williams, claimed eighth in the 300 hurdles. North had placed in six relays but only one individual, Jacob Arnold (ninth in the 400 in 2007) had been able to earn a medal in Charleston.

“Last year hurt a lot since it was my first time getting down here and I wanted to place but I learned from that,” Bofah said. “This year we were all so tight and there was a lot of pressure on us. It feels great to get a medal, but it hasn’t really sunk in yet.

Our program has usually focused on relays, so I’m happy that Annile also ran hard in the 300 hurdles.”

Joliet Central had a memorable day in the throws as senior Ryan Connor placed in both the discus (sixth) and shot put (eighth) while senior Favio Nunez medalled again in the discus (eighth).

Only Bob Stephen (1930-32) and Olympian Merritt Giffin (1906-08) placed in both throws at the same meet and earned medals in the same throw in consecutive years among athletes from all of the District 204 schools.

“We both could have done better, but that’s what everyone says,” Connor said. “I won the sectional in shot put and that was fun and then PR’ed in the prelims but I couldn’t do better in the finals. But it was a fun time down here. I’m considered one of the little guys and some people think I’m a sprinter and I tell them I’m a thrower and I love it, it’s awesome.”

Romeoville senior Curshaun Pruitt took seventh in the triple jump to become just the third Spartan to medal in a field event. Coincidentally, the other two who previously did it, Bryon McClain in 1999 and Richmond Richter in 2009, also finished seventh in the triple jump.

Lincoln-Way East senior Austin Corydon finished sixth in the 110 hurdles for the second straight year. As a result, he becomes the second athlete in his sport from any District 210 school to be a multiple placewinner in a hurdles race.

Talarico provides a lift to regional champ West VIEWS Dick Goss The last time a Joliet Township baseball team won a regional championship was 2006.

The combined-program Steelmen, behind the pitching of Cedric Redmond, knocked off Joliet Catholic, which featured Joe Benson, 3-1, in the title game.

Joliet since has returned to separate programs at Central and West. Although the Tigers have been considered a threat to win a regional in recent years, it hadn’t happened until Saturday. That’s when they erupted for 16 hits in a 13-2 victory over No. 1-seed Minooka in the Class 4A Plainfield South Regional final.

“I was never happier for a group of kids,” said coach John Karczewski, the Joliet pitching coach in 2006, when Terry Piazza was the head coach. “They have character.”

Next up for these character kids is a trip to Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, where the Tigers will meet Moline at 6 p.m. Wednesday in a sectional semifinal. “I’m excited to see what we can do from here,” Karczewski said.

An element that made the past couple of West teams a regional threat was having a left-handed hitter in the 9-hole who got on base, turned the lineup over for the top to do its thing.

Last season, then-sophomore shortstop Cody Grosse filled that slot and hit well over .400. With Larry Holman and Zach Thomas following at the top, the combination served the Tigers well. In 2012, then-sophomore Thomas was equally adept at producing in the 9-hole.

This season has been different. Grosse, Thomas and 3-hitter Griffin McGuire have been solid, but production has been inconsistent from the

Joliet West’s (10) Robert Talarico is safe at home from third base on a pass ball Saturday as the Minooka’s (25) Mitch Malone waits on the ball. Minooka won, 13-2, in six innings at the Plainfield South regional baseball final in Joliet. rest of the lineup. The result was the Tigers at times were offensively challenged.

When you rattle a pitching staff as solid as Minooka’s for 16 hits, that qualifies as a significant turnaround. Basically, everyone hit.

What jumps off the page more than anything, however, was the job done by junior center fielder Robert Talarico. He hit ninth – yes, he’s a left-handed hitters – and was perfect. He doubled and scored in a two-run second inning, dropped down a beautiful bunt single in a six-run third, singled to center in the fifth and cranked a two-run, ground-rule double to center in a three-run sixth.

“Talarico got to third base and he said, ‘I think I’m dreaming,’ ” said Karczewski, who coaches third. “I said, ‘No, you’re not. This is reality.’ It’s nice to find a lefty to hit in the ninth spot, it just took us longer to get it going.”

“I was seeing the ball a lot better today,” Talalrico said.

“I wish it could have been like this more often for all of us. We have a great team when we do it all together.”

Talarico has been in and out of the batting order.

Pitching is his forte. Thomas, who tossed a three-hitter at Minooka, and Talarico,

who beat Bradley 4-1 in the regional semifinals, both are lefties and are Nos. 1 and 1A on the staff. Talarico, scheduled to get the call Wednesday against Moline, is 5-2 with a 1.18 ERA and Thomas is 7-1 with a 1.13.

“He’s been pitching lights out,” Karczewski said of Talarico. “He has good stuff.

As long as he’s getting it over and avoiding long counts, he’s been great.

“He’s been working hard in [batting practice], too. He’s been rotating in an out of the lineup, but he seems to have found himself at the plate.”

“This feels great,” Talarico said.

The Tigers did not finish the regular season particularly strong, and expectations from outside were not all that high. Thomas said that worked in their favor.

“We were confident,” he said. “We believe in ourselves. We were underdogs so there was no pressure on us.

We could just go out and play.

“We’re choosing to turn it up at the right time. Here we are holding the [regional] plaque. We can’t complain about that. It’s a lot better than the last two years when Plainfield South beat us. We really feel now that we can beat Moline or anybody.”

SUBMITTED REPORT

• Monday, June 2, 2014

The road to playing college ball yielded a few bumps for Travaughn Bosby of Joliet.

So when the basketball coach from Black Hawk College visited recently to sign Bosby to a national letter of intent at Joliet Job Corps, it was a sweet victory for Bosby and for a Center that hasn’t seen something like this in at least 10 years.

Joliet Job Corps basketball teams have been highly rated through the years, but it takes a certain formula to see one youth through the process of getting a full scholarship.

For the 21-year-old Bosby, it was finding a coach, Nakia Brown, who believed in him, and an assistant coach, Keith Henderson, who knew the procedure because he played college football after playing at Bolingbrook.

Bosby’s dad played at Proviso West and the College of DuPage and still was remembered by the COD coach when the son visited there. The 6-foot-1 Bosby, who can play point guard or shooting guard, started playing ball at age 10 and had two good years at Joliet West before being sidelined an entire season by tendinitis in both knees.

“It was just wear and tear. I got hurt on a layup in a game, which really triggered it,” he said. He returned to play his senior year but “it didn’t work out.”

He disagreed with the coaching style.

So he missed a chance to be scouted.

The next year, he tried out at Joliet Junior College but didn’t make the team. “They already had all their slots filled,” he said.

He dropped out of school. “It was depressing,” he said.

But he picked himself up, dusted himself off and considered his options.

“I didn’t know what I wanted to do and I needed some time to find myself,” he said.

After certifying in two trades and spending two semesters at JJC while

Travaughn Bosby signs a letter of intent with Black Hawk College. living on campus at Job Corps, he found his calling. “I want to be a middle school gym teacher,” he said.

He played three winning seasons at Joliet Job Corps, averaged 32 points a game and was a two-time All-Star and three-time all-conference selection.

“I graduated with a lot of (trade) cer-

tificates, but I came out with more than that,” he said. “I learned, ‘Don’t let the outside get to you.’ I learned to focus on what is important.”

Brown, his favorite coach at Job Corps, “taught me a lot of the game,” he said. “She helped develop my game.

She brought the best out of me on the

basketball court and as a leader.

“I was team captain for three years and I learned a lot about having patience on the court. I learned to deal with different personalities and different ethnicities and different things on the basketball court to be a better teammate, to stay one as a team.”

The score was tied at 3 until Joliet scored two in the seventh inning and six in the eighth to pull away.

Marquis Riley’s two-run triple gave the Slammers a 2-1 lead in the third inning and Darian Sandford’s RBI single in the fourth made it 3-1.

Lake Erie tied it in the bottom of the fourth and it stayed that way until Danny Hernandez’s two-run double in the seventh gave Joliet a 5-3 lead.

Russell Moldenhauer’s two-run single highlighted the sixth-run eighth. Adam

Giacalone singled home a run, Hernandez chipped in an RBI groundout and two more runs scored on wild pitches.

Riley had a double in addition to his two-run triple.

Jordan Wellander inherited a major jam from starter

Andrew Busby in the fifth inning and got the three outs without a run scoring.

Giacalone had a triple and RBI single in Saturday night’s 7-5 loss to Lake Erie.

the Kings gathered in a big huddle along the boards.

Los Angeles improved to seven for seven in elimination games this postseason and will host the New York Rangers in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup finals on Wednesday night.

CHICAGO – Chris Sale is a dominant power pitcher with the potential for a double-digit strikeout performance every time he takes the mound.

But the Chicago White Sox ace said his focus against the San Diego Padres on Sunday was being economical.

“The philosophy is ‘on or out in three,’ so I was just trying to fill the zone with quality strikes and go from there,” he said.

Sale pitched a two-hitter, Paul Konerko homered and the White Sox posted 4-1 victory to avoid being swept.

Sale (5-0) struck out nine, walked none and threw 100 pitches in the complete game performance that lasted just 2:08.

He froze Everth Cabrera for a called strike three to end the game, and retired the final 14 batters.

Johnson builds on track record with 9th Dover win

By DAN GELSTON The Associated Press DOVER, Del. – Jimmie Johnson handled the pothole at Dover the same way he disposed of a rough patch to start the season.

He won.

A week after shaking off a lengthy winless streak by his championship standards, Johnson raced his way to another routine romp at Dover International Speedway. He followed last week’s victory in the Coca-Cola 600 with another sensational run at Dover, extending his track victory record to nine.

Johnson was the class of the field in a race red-flagged for 22 minutes to repair a pothole in the concrete track.

“Whatever they put in the pothole, it worked awfully well,” Johnson said.

His No. 48 Chevrolet was even better.

Johnson led 272 of 400 laps, and won consecutive races for the 13th time. The six-time Cup champion swept Dover in 2002 and 2009 and won races in 2005, 2010, 2012 and 2013.

Brad Keselowski was second, followed by Matt Kenseth, Clint Bowyer and Denny Hamlin.

“For sure, when you come

to Dover, it’s always the 48,” Kenseth said. “We’ve got to figure out how to get ahead of him.”

Good luck. Johnson’s checkered flag celebrations at Dover have seemingly become a rite of the NASCAR season. He became Dover’s career leader in laps led when he hit the 2,802 mark, and again stamped himself as contender for a series-tying seventh championship.

“It’s amazing that we can stay on top of things here with the different generation car, different rules, different tires,” Johnson said. “This place just fits my style and [crew chief] Chad Knaus’ style.”

Sale has allowed just two earned runs in his last 25 innings spanning four starts, and has a 1.59 ERA overall.

The lefty was on the disabled list in late April because of a strained muscle in his pitching arm.

Because of that, Sale was on a pitch count – the White Sox wouldn’t say how many – but he never was in danger of being removed because he was so efficient.

“I think the rain-shortened start and then pitching on his regular turn, he was fresh,” San Diego manager Bud Black said, referring to Sale’s last start Tuesday when he went just three innings.

“We haven’t seen him during the regular season, but you can see why this guy’s one of the best pitchers in the American League: deceptive delivery, good velocity, really good change, good breaking ball,” he said. “He had it working today.”

MILWAUKEE – Chicago Cubs manager Rick Renteria’s eyes were watery after a 9-0 loss Sunday to the Milwaukee Brewers.

“It’s not tears. It’s eye drops,” Renteria joked in his office.

But there was really nothing to be happy about after the Cubs lost a 14th straight series on the road.

Ace Jeff Samardzija was shelled for eight runs in three innings. Chicago’s No. 3 hitter, Anthony Rizzo, was ejected in the fourth for arguing a called third strike.

The rest of the lineup couldn’t solve Brewers starter Kyle Lohse (7-1), who pitched a three-hitter. The defense didn’t help after a high fly to shallow left-center dropped between three field-

ers for a double in the second inning against Samardzija (1-5).

“We had a fly ball that fell in that led to one run. His command wasn’t the best today, but it was just one of those days for him. I think very rare,” Renteria said.

Samardzija’s ERA rose from 1.68 to 2.54.

Ryan Braun homered on the first pitch he saw from Samardzija in the first, and the Brewers rolled from there. Samardzija had trouble locating his fastball, and Lyle Overbay broke open the game with a three-run double in the third.

“I think he was kind of missing his spots today and we took advantage of it, though. Sometimes good pitchers can miss spots and still dominate, but we were able to get some to fall down,” Overbay said.

Area libraries offer ‘Paws to Read’ program

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Being “in the doghouse” is generally not a good thing, but this year, staff at the Morris Area Public Library are encouraging it.

In this case, it’s a real doghouse and it’s inside the library, courtesy of its builder, Ray Lisy of Morris, said Carol Hutchings, children’s librarian.

“I thought it would be near for kids to take books inside the doghouse and read them,” Hutchings said. “I like to be enthusiastic. It can get the kids excited about reading.”

To further help patrons assume the mood of this year’s “Paws to Read” animal-themed summer reading program, Donna Cockream and four other members of the Morris Women’s Club created 25 zoo-related dioramas and placed them in various locations inside the library, Hutchings said.

Then, inspired by the concept of the official “Paws” clip art, the women created fabric legs of such animals as cows, bears, cheetahs and giraffes, stuffed them with newspapers and put them on stands, Hutchings said. Children will log the number of books read on pretend bones.

“Each week, we hope to beat the week before,” Hutchings said.

Scattered about the library are displays of suggested reading material, Hutchings said, which patrons of all ages can

Animal displays strategically placed around the Morris Area Public Library encourage reading. browse. Titles include “Arthur’s New Puppy,” by Marc Brown; “Never, Ever Shout in a Zoo,” by Karma Wilson; “Pete the Cat,” by Eric Litwin; and Jonathon London’s “Froggy” series.

“There’s also a ‘Fractured Fairy Tales Goldilocks and the Three Bears,’ ” Hutchings said.

“They’re a rock band.”

Although the program is

primarily aimed at children in first through fifth grades, Hutchings said, younger children, as well as teens and adults, won’t feel left out. For instance, junior high school youth will keep logs of books read and reviewed for chances to win prizes.

Featured books at preschool storytime and lap-sit programs will center on animals, Hutch-

ings said, and the music program will include such favorite ditties as “How Much is That Doggie in the Window?”

Entire families can enjoy a traveling petting zoo featuring a llama, whitetail deer, ferrets and lizards. Teens can enjoy an animal trivia and adults older than age 18 might enjoy Dog Bingo, Hutchings said.

“There will be ‘cats versus

They can make fluffy ears or sheepish horns to complement their personalities.”

And for a high-tech, virtual trip to the animal kingdom, Dave Latimer from the library’s technology support department will show participants how to use their e-readers as an interactive petting zoo, Hutchings said.

“Visitors can lift, pet, swipe, poke and turn pages,” Hutchings said.

The reason behind this event, Hutchings said, is to provide patrons with information on downloading books from OMNI, the company that supplies the Morris Area Public Library with its collection of 15,000 e-books.

Special events include a pet food and shelter supply drive as well as pet portraits in June and a family-friendly live bat presentation by Incredible Bats in July, Hutchings said.

Big Run Wolf Ranch will conduct two programs.

One brings a live wolf, porcupine, skunk, ground hog and coyote into the library; the other is a field trip to the ranch itself, Hutchings said. The finale will include ice cream and “dog tricks every minute” by Robin’s Dog Show, Hutchings added.

“Dogs will jump through hoops, walk on their hind legs, count and know the alphabet, things like that,” Hutchings said.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Which of three plays is correct?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Duffy Daugherty, who was the head football coach at Michigan State University from 1954 to 1972, said, “Three things can happen when you put a ball in the air – and two of them are bad.”

In this deal, East has three possible plays at trick one – and two of them are bad. South is in three notrump. West leads the heart eight and declarer covers with dummy’s 10. Which heart should East play?

East made a two-heart weak jump overcall, promising a respectable six-card suit and 5-10 high-card points. South responded with a negative double, indicating four spades. North cue-bid three hearts to show game-forcing values and to ask South if he had a heart stopper for no-trump purposes.

South starts with eight top tricks: one heart (given the lead), four diamonds and three clubs. If clubs are 3-3, the contract is safe, but if that suit is not breaking favorably, declarer will have to score a spade trick.

If East wins the first trick with his heart ace and returns the suit, South will make his contract.

Suppose instead East plays his heart queen. South will get home if – admittedly a big if – he does not take the trick.

However, East should recall that when an opponent has only one stopper in the suit he is trying to establish, give that trick to the opponent as quickly as possible.

East should signal enthusiastically with his nine. Declarer wins, tries the clubs, cashes his diamonds, and turns to spades.

But West grabs the trick, cashes his club jack and leads his second heart to defeat the contract.

ADVICE Wife has much to consider before agreeing to surrogacy Dear Abby: I am a young, recently married woman.

My husband and I are about at the point where we’re thinking of having kids.

My brother married a close friend of mine soon after my wedding, and my sister-inlaw has a medical condition that might prevent her from having children.

I am very close to my brother and his wife, and I can see the writing on the wall. She has mentioned surrogacy once in passing, as a possible alternative if she can’t have kids. If I am asked to be the surrogate, what advice do you have?

I’d be more than willing to consider it, but only after my husband and I have had our own children.

If I do it, would it be selfish of me to expect some compensation for my time

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips and the toll it will take on my body? I want to be ready if and when I’m asked. What would be the best way to explain my reasoning to her? – Backup Mom In The

Northwest Dear Backup: You might be jumping the gun, because you do not know yet how your body will tolerate a pregnancy. Not all women have easy pregnancies, and if you’re one of them, you might be less willing to be a surrogate. As to monetary compensation for wear and tear, that’s a question you should ask a lawyer, because compensation might not be allowed in the state in which

you reside.

You, together with your brother and sister-in-law, also should discuss with a mental health professional the emotional issues that might arise – such as everyone’s expectations about what will happen when the baby arrives, what might happen if there is a death, a divorce or a move, and what your role would be – whether you will be the birth mother or a legal aunt, etc. All of this should be clarified if your sister-in-law asks you to be her surrogate.

Dear Abby: I recently retired for the second time. At 70, I applied for a job online, was interviewed by a company and hired. I could hardly believe it. Three years later, I was having a medical problem, so I thought it best to retire again if I couldn’t do

Home remedies help relieve symptoms of Baker’s cyst Dear Dr. K: I just found out I have a Baker’s cyst. Is it serious?

How is it treated?

Dear Reader: A Baker’s cyst is a fluid-filled sac that can form in the popliteal space, the hollow at the back of the knee joint. A Baker’s cyst is filled with synovial fluid, a viscous material that lubricates the knee joint.

I spoke to my colleague, Dr. Celeste Robb-Nicholson, associate professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, about this condition.

Baker’s cysts tend to occur in adults between the ages of 35 to 70, although they can occur in children and older adults as well.

These cysts often do not cause symptoms. It’s not uncommon for a magnetic resonance imaging test ordered for another type of knee problem to incidentally reveal a Baker’s cyst. The cysts are more common in people who have arthritis of the knee or who have had some kind of knee injury.

When the cysts do cause symptoms, they include pain in the back of the knee, stiffness of the knee and a balloon-like swelling in the back of the knee. Sometimes that swelling hurts when it is squeezed.

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff Usually people have checked their other knee, and noticed a clear difference between the knee that has the cyst and the one that doesn’t. The symptoms typically get worse with any activity that uses the knee, including standing for long periods.

A Baker’s cyst might result if an injury to the knee triggers cells lining the knee joint to produce excess synovial fluid. If the fluid bulges into the popliteal space, a cyst can develop. (I’ve put an illustration of a Baker’s cyst on my website, www.askdoctork.com.)

Baker’s cysts aren’t dangerous, and they might go away on their own. But occasionally they burst.

If that happens, synovial fluid can leak into the calf, causing pain and swelling.

If a Baker’s cyst causes discomfort or interferes with normal activities, there are several things you can do. To ease swelling, apply a cold pack or compression wrap to the area. To reduce inflamma-

tion, take an over-the-counter nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, such as ibuprofen. Reduce stress on the knee by resting your leg and keeping it elevated whenever you can. When you’re up and about, use a cane or crutch.

These home remedies often help, but if they don’t, your doctor might need to drain the cyst. That involves using a needle and syringe to suck out the excess fluid.

At the same time, the doctor also can inject cortisone into the knee joint to quell inflammation.

If the cyst recurs and remains troublesome, you might need a magnetic resonance imaging test to identify the underlying cause.

A Baker’s cyst will often recur if the injury that caused it isn’t addressed. Rarely, the cyst might need to be surgically removed.

In the meantime, protect your knee by doing gentle range-ofmotion and muscle-strengthening exercises. And avoid high-impact activities.

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

the work I was hired to do.

After a month of rest, I feel fine now. My husband thinks I was overworked. I want to get another job.

Abby, why do I feel the need to still work? Most of my friends tell me to enjoy life, sit back and relax, but my work defined me and I loved it. Shouldn’t I try working again if my health continues to improve? –

Nose To The Grindstone In Georgia Dear Nose To The Grindstone: Not everyone is happy in retirement. Some people need the routine of work and the stimulation of being around other people. Also, not everyone ages at the same rate.

However, it’s important to listen to your body and pace yourself. There’s a saying, “You can fool Mother Nature, but you can’t fool

Father Time.” If your last job drained you to the point of illness, choose something that is less taxing (either full-time or part-time). You’ll enjoy your life and last longer if you do.

Dear Abby: I am a Brit, now living in the U.S. When, upon departing, someone says, “Have a good one!” what is the correct response? – Puz-

zled In Pennsylvania Dear Puzzled: Some people respond, “Thanks, the same to you.” Others have been known to say, “Thanks, I’m already having one!”

The important thing is to always say “thank you.”

TODAY Be prepared to make a lot of advances this year.

Keep your energy level up so you don’t miss out on any opportunity to gather knowledge and pursue prospects. A disciplined approach to life and work will ensure that you reach your goals successfully.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Unexpected changes may cause uncertainty, making you feel uneasy. Think positively, and the end result will be beneficial. Put your needs first and refuse to let anyone deter you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Do what’s necessary to reach your goals. Trying to keep up with a friend, peer or neighbor will result in dissatisfaction and missed opportunities. Embrace change instead of rejecting the inevitable.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- Your sensitivity and compassion for the underdog will add to your popularity. If you give all you can, you will gain respect and personal satisfaction.

Participate instead of being a spectator.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- You will have questions about the domestic situations you face. Be observant, and if any issue is unclear, make it your business to ferret out the information you require.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Getting involved in community events will raise your profile. You will also make influential business connections if you are prepared to take a position of leadership. Speak up.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Helping others is a nice gesture, but now it’s time to further your own position.

Concentrate on your goals and the preparation necessary to ensure your success.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- You will be the victor today. Put your best foot forward. Your confidence and ability will help you excel, and will impress onlookers who can contribute to your game plan.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- Prepare to jettison your affinity for old means and methods. It’s time to update the way you think and become more in step with the times. A successful new beginning looks promising.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You’ll be tempted to stretch the truth. If you exaggerate about your qualifications, you will face consequences. Stick to the facts and don’t make promises you cannot honor.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- Close the door on the past.

Previous setbacks helped pave the way to where you are now. Dust yourself off and move forward with pride and a positive attitude.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Take time to rest and relax.

You may not have as many allies as you think. Be willing to compromise if it will help you avoid a sticky situation.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- A question that has been plaguing you can finally be resolved. Becoming preoccupied with minor issues will prevent you from seeing the big picture and recognizing an interesting prospect.
