Girl dies after being pulled from fire Joliet firefighters continuing to investigate cause of blaze in multi-unit East Side home

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

Several people were displaced by the fire, but the Joliet Fire Department was working with the American Red Cross to provide housing for them.

Stromberg said the fire was under control about 15 minutes after firefighters arrived. The fire was contained to the main floor and the first floor of the building, he said.

He estimated the blaze caused $50,000 in damage. Investigators were looking into the cause of the fire, he said.

Fire Capt. Matt Baxter said the fire remained under investigation as of Saturday afternoon.

The final cause and manner of death will be determined by the coroner’s office after an autopsy, toxicological reports and police and fire reports are complete.

A funeral home for Mia had not been selected as of Friday night, according to the coroner’s office.

JOLIET – A 7-year-old Joliet girl died Friday after she was pulled from a fire that morning at a multi-unit home on Joliet’s East Side.

The girl, identified as Mia Sykes, was unresponsive when firefighters brought her out of the structure fire at 603 Dover St. She was pronounced dead at 12:07 p.m. in the emergency room of Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center, according to the Will County Coroner’s Office.

Joliet firefighters were called to the fire at 10 a.m.

Joliet Battalion Fire Chief Mike Stromberg said Friday a mother at the scene said her child was trapped inside. Fire crews went into the building to search for the child, found her on the first floor and brought her out.

Stromberg said the child was • Herald-News reporter unconscious and transported to Vikaas Shanker contributed to Presence Saint Joseph. this story.

Brothers grow up to become great fathers My 6-year-old self who was crying while my two older brothers used my stuffed animals as footballs and kicked them over the couch for “practice” would not have believed they would become such fabulous fathers.

How could I, as I watched my beloved toys – Starlite, Rainbow Brite’s horse, seemed to be a favorite target – sail through the living room and into the dining room (or was it from the dining room into the living room?

My memory is a little hazy on that part) as they perfected their kicks?

No way these two ever could be remotely caring toward someone younger than they.

Ah, the misguided (although thoroughly understandable) musings of the baby sister in the family.

As an adult, I marvel at what wonderful parents my brothers are

VIEWS Kate Schott with their respective children. They are firm when they need to be, but take joy at the accomplishments of their children, too. They know when to have fun, when to be serious and how to encourage their kids to follow their dreams.

There is nothing I love more in this world than my nephews and niece; thanks to my brothers (and their amazing respective wives), it’s pretty easy to be their aunt. Whether it’s spending hours watching trains, teaching them how to fish or building towers out of Lincoln Logs just so they can smash them to the ground, it’s always a blast being Aunt Katie

to these kiddos.

But it’s not a surprise: They have great examples to emulate as they grow from babies to toddlers to kids.

My brothers also are teachers (so are my sisters-in-law), so they get to spread their knowledge and love of learning to other children, too. I hope the parents of their students know how lucky they are to have such wonderful, giving educators at the front of their children’s classrooms.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there. I hope your day is full of all the joys fatherhood brings with it.

Bolingbrook father stays home to care for his children

By FELIX SARVER JOLIET – Kevin Helfert wears two hats when raising his children.

When his two children aren’t staying with his ex-wife, the Bolingbrook resident has to be both a mother and father when they stay with him.

Helfert suffered a work injury two years ago that left him at home more to raise them.

“I can be strict one minute and ‘lovey-dovey’ the next. I have to go with the flow with them, and there’s that whole mommy and daddy figure in one,” he said.

Helfert is part of a growing number of fathers who stay at home to take care of their children. Some do so by choice – as Helfert once did before he was injured – and others do so because of tough economic times.

The number of stay-athome fathers has risen from more than 1.5 million in 2004 to 2 million in 2012, according to the Pew Research Center.

For some fathers, not being the household’s sole breadwinner can be an adjustment, but Helfert loves it.

“I love it, but the bank account doesn’t,” he said. “I’m only getting partial benefits, so I’m not even getting my full salary … . [The children] like it. I get more quality time with them.”

With his children, Breanna and Triston, both 5, under his care, Helfert will cook, clean, do laundry and take them fishing or to the zoo, where he lets them “pick and choose what they want to see.”

Helfert used to work as a truck driver, traveling hundreds of miles every day until two years ago, when a work injury damaged his shoulder enough to require three surgeries.

According to the Pew Research Center, 35 percent of fathers who stay at home do so because of an illness or a

Breanna Helfert, 5, holds her father’s hand while playing on the family’s front lawn Friday in Bolingbrook. disability, compared to 23 percent who did so because they were unable to find work.

But being injured isn’t always the reason fathers end up staying at home.

“The reason for why they stay at home varies,” said Karen Kramer, an assistant professor of family studies at the University of Illinois at

Urbana-Champaign.

“The majority – we’re talking about 80 percent of those who stay at home – they stay at home because they were the first to stay at home – they were unable to find a job, or they were laid off,” Kramer said. “The unemployment rate goes up, and so they found themselves with no job.”

Kramer has researched the rise of stay-at-home fathers and saw an increase during the economic recession.

She said stay-at-home fathers are different from stayat-home mothers because the latter stay home longer and dedicate most of their time – if not all – to raising the children. She said there tends to be a better outcome for children with fathers who choose to stay at home.

For others who do it because they cannot find work or were injured, or who face other factors, it takes time for them to adjust, especially given cultural perspectives on traditional gender roles.

“The wife has more power in the relationship. She becomes now the main provider, and there is exchange in the gender role… and [the father] needs to be the main caregiver, and the father is not necessarily ready to do that. It’s a process,” she said.

Helfert said his own father

didn’t stay at home. He had three jobs, and he was busy making ends meet. He said it was his mom – like him today – who had to take on both the mother and father roles.

But his parents made it work, and he figured – after being married for about 40 years – “they did something right.”

He doesn’t always stay home. When his children are in school or day care, he’s doing handiwork for the Warren Sharpe Community Center in Joliet or emergency management agencies.

Helfert initially chose to stay at home with his children when they were born. For the first year and a half, he took time away from work just to raise his “two, tiny little babies,” and it was an experience he said he wouldn’t trade for anything.

“The first week or so, I was scared out of my mind. What am I going to do?” he said.

“But everything worked out.”

Greg Ridenour, representing U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, state Rep. John Anthony, R-Plainfield, and Peyton Brott, representing state Sen. Toi Hutchinson, D-Chicago Heights, learn about livestock Friday on the farm of Dave and Rita Gemmer of Morris.

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – There’s more than corn in Grundy County.

That was what legislators and local officials were shown firsthand Friday as they toured three agriculture facilities with the Grundy County Farm Bureau.

“We want to be able to show the different aspects of agriculture that they don’t think about when they think Grundy County agriculture,” said Tasha Bunting, Grundy County Farm Bureau manager.

State Rep. John Anthony, R-Plainfield, said he was excited to be invited to the tour.

As a member of the Illinois House Agriculture Committee in Springfield, he said it helps him to better understand issues being discussed in committee when he has seen agriculture for himself.

“Part of the process is learning all that is involved with agriculture,” Anthony said. “I’m a city boy. When I think agriculture, I think corn, beans and feed for animals. I didn’t realize someone in Grundy is growing flowers to sell commercially.”

Officials got an up-close look at Granby’s Greenhouse Inc. in Verona, where flowers are the crop making its way to retail shelves.

Grundy County Administrator Doug Pryor, who took over the position June 1, said he wasn’t aware of the level of sophistication used in agriculture locally.

“It’s extraordinary and something we take for granted,” Pryor said. “They are

Pryor said he was surprised to learn Granby’s Greenhouse provides 60 percent of its flowers to retail establishments such as

Menards.

Greg Ridenour, aide to U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, said he would take the information about the importance of agriculture in Grundy County to Kinzinger. He said he learned a lot

about the different aspects of agriculture represented in the county and how it isn’t limited to just one thing.

After Granby’s Greenhouse, the officials toured Elburn Coop along the Illinois River in Morris and finished their tour at the farm north of Morris owned by Dave and Rita Gemmer, who farm not only corn and soybeans, but also raise chickens and pigs.

“We need to make sure we reach out to farm bureaus and local farmers when we face bills in Springfield that affect them,” Anthony said.

“Agriculture is the No. 1 job-producing industry in the state.”

Bunting said she hopes to make the tour an annual event so people can visit the many facets of agriculture in Grundy County each year, rotating what officials are taken to see.

Man pleads guilty in New Lenox Twp. murder

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Eight days into his trial for murdering his uncle six years ago, Jason Gonzalez pleaded guilty Friday.

Gonzalez, who was representing himself, became visibly emotional after reading copies Jason of some hand- Gonzalez written notes during the first break in testimony Friday and had several quiet conversations with Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Fred Harvey.

Harvey acknowledged “new information” was turned over to Gonzalez on Friday morning, but did not say who

wrote it.

Several relatives of the victim, Lance Goebel, came into the courtroom about an hour later to watch Gonzalez plead guilty to one count of murder.

“You realize once a trial has started, state law does not require I accept your plea?”

Judge Edward Burmila said to Gonzalez. But Burmila did agree Gonzalez, 29, could make a blind plea and will be sentenced in September. He faces between 20 and 60 years in prison.

As part of the deal, Harvey told Burmila the prosecution could prove Goebel was killed by “multiple blunt objects that caused his death.” If the direct mention of Gonzalez using a firearm to kill Goebel had remained in the case, he would’ve faced between 45

years and life in prison.

Gonzalez was living with his uncle’s family in the 22700 block of South Cedar Road in New Lenox Township until two months before Goebel was found shot to death Sept. 17, 2009. Prosecutors told jurors Gonzalez had become “inappropriately fixated” on children in the family before he was evicted.

Harvey said the plea deal reached Friday morning had the support of Goebel’s family.

“This agreement guarantees a conviction in this case, and a guilty plea removes all appellate issues,” state’s attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie said.

As his own attorney, Gonzalez allowed many witnesses to express their belief he was guilty during their testimo-

“This agreement guarantees a conviction in this case, and a guilty plea removes all appellate issues.”

Charles Pelkie Will County state’s attorney spokesman ny, including his mother Kim Gonzalez of Morris, who was on the stand for three days.

At different times in the trial, Gonzalez attempted to show the jury three of Goebel’s relatives were involved in his slaying or were collaborating to frame him. He also claimed his homosexuality negated any motive he’d had to cover up in-

appropriate behavior toward a young girl in the family.

“I fully expect ... [my mother and another uncle] have been planning, and will testify to information that is completely fabricated in order to make me look like I had been planning on killing Lance Goebel,” Gonzalez wrote in a May 26 letter to The Herald-News sent from the Will County Jail.

“It is absolutely incredible to me how many people have given, or are going to testify to, false information,” Gonzalez wrote. “There is far more going on than simply a murder trial. I’ve never trusted our government, but this takes paranoia to a whole new level.

This reeks of conspiracy.”

Burmila is to sentence Gonzalez on Sept. 10.

Joliet eyes mass 911 center consolidation proposal on Rauner’s desk notification system

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mobile phone bills will get an 87 cent surcharge and local 911 agencies statewide would be consolidated under legislation sitting on Gov. Bruce Rauner’s desk.

If the measure is approved, Will County’s six 911 dispatch centers will be consolidated to “no more than three,” said Steve Rauter, director for WESCOM, the largest and busiest of Will County’s six dispatch centers.

Will County officials have until July 1, 2016, to come up with a consolidation plan, but that doesn’t give board members ample opportunity – five regular meetings, to be exact – to reach a consensus, Rauter told Will County Board members last week during a brief overview of the expected changes.

It’s unclear which of Will County’s six centers will be consolidated. There are centers in Plainfield, Crete, Frankfort, Romeoville and within the Joliet Police De-

“Our people pay way too much in taxes already.”

Steve Balich Will County Board member from Homer Glen partment and the Will County Sheriff’s Office.

A new facility might be needed to bring the number of centers down to three, he said, suggesting a new 911 dispatch center be included in the county’s plans for a new sheriff’s facility along Laraway Road.

The bill sets a statewide 911 surcharge rate of 87 cents for all telephone customers.

The current surcharge on cellphones – used to fund 911 centers in Illinois – is set to expire July 1. The bill on Rauner’s desk would avoid the state’s local 911 centers falling short on funding.

Rauner has yet to act on the measure. A spokeswoman for the governor’s office, Catherine Kelly, would not

address the specific legislation, but said via email Friday the governor would “carefully consider any legislation that crosses his desk.”

Cellphones fees make up about one-third of revenue for 911 services statewide, with the rest from local property taxes and landline fees.

The bill also shifts oversight and administrative duties to the Illinois State Police – a role now served by the Illinois Commerce Commission.

The statewide overhaul of the 911 systems is designed to shorten emergency response times and bring 911 services to nine downstate counties now without them.

Will County Board Member Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen, said he doesn’t like the idea of raising taxes on Will County residents and others statewide to subsidize 911 services in the nine counties that do not have them.

“Our people pay way too much in taxes already,” Balich said.

If signed by Rauner, the consolidation plan must be implemented by 2017.

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city is considering adopting a mass notification system to alert residents about emergencies and send out other information through email, texts or social media.

A notification system could be used for a wide range of information, including weather warnings, notices of water main breaks, and even news from City Council meetings, said Patrick Stuver, a representative from the company Everbridge.

“The goal is to allow citizens to customize their requirements,” Stuver told the City Council last week.

He said residents could choose to provide police and fire departments information – including whether wheelchair-bound people are in a household – that would be useful in responding to emergencies. Residents also could limit what information they receive depending on what the city offers and what they want to hear about.

Everbridge clients include the city of Boston, which used the notification system to communicate with citizens during the search for the Boston Marathon bombers, Stuver said.

The matter was referred to committee for review.

Councilman Larry Hug said he believed there would be strong resident interest in having a mass notification system available.

“People want to get more digital,” Hug said. “This is something that will probably be of interest to many people in the community.”

Fire Chief Joseph Formhals said staff has looked at potential companies and views Everbridge as “the best municipal vendor” to provide the service.

“The system is basically used for community notification and emergency notifications,” Formhals said.

Although the system would be used for evacuations and boil orders, it also could be used to inform residents of festivals and rescheduling of garbage pickups, he said.

Safety advocates urge against longer trucks on highways

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Tucked away in a $55.3 billion federal transportation spending bill up for vote in the U.S. Senate this week is a non-budgetary item allowing for bigger trucks on the nation’s highways.

The proposal would increase maximum tandem trailer length from 28.5 feet per trailer to 33 feet.

The length increase for trailers is being backed by large trucking companies – namely Con-way Freight, FedEx and UPS – as a way to meet demand in a growing industry. But Illinois road safety advocates said the change will endanger motorists and goes against findings in a new U.S. Department of Transportation analysis.

The report – released in June – calls on Congress to make no changes to truck size and weight limits because of “profound data limitations,” while noting 33-foot twin trailers need more time to stop than the current 28.5 foot trailers in all braking scenarios.

Ed Wojcicki, executive director of the Illinois Association of Chiefs of Police, said his organization is concerned about the longer stopping distances and increased blind spots.

“It’s a no-brainer issue. It’s less safe on the roadways,” Wojcicki said.

Shane Reese, spokesman for the Coalition Against Bigger Trucks, said longer trucks could lead to dangerous roadway situations.

“If a driver is coming up over a hill, or coming around a curve, and traffic is backed up, they might simply not be able to stop in time,” Reese said. “That driver could have nothing in their bloodstream, fully rested ... but it’s a very real dilemma here.”

Reese added it’s troubling that a nonbudgetary issue such as truck lengths has been attached to a federal transportation budget bill, rather than being vetted through the proper channels.

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster said via email Friday he voted against the measure, which passed the House earlier this month, with public safety in mind. He said the transportation department study pointed out that it’s impossible to evaluate the safety tradeoffs because of a lack of data.

“As a scientist, I make my decisions based on the data,” Foster said via email. “Here we have an agency that says it needs better data to work with.

I think it would be foolhardy to rush ahead and allow larger, longer trucks on the road without knowing with certainty the impacts it would have on public safety.”

Joliet eyes higher pay for crossing guards

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city is considering a pay hike for school crossing guards – the first since cuts were made in 2011 to balance the budget.

Crossing guards hired since 2011 make $25 a day, and it’s not enough to keep them on the job, said Councilman John Gerl, chairman of the council’s Public Safety Committee.

“We’re having trouble keeping them, and then we’re having trouble getting new people,” Gerl said.

The city has 36 crossing guards for 40 corners that need guarding. So police officers are routinely pulled off patrol to cover corners, Gerl said.

“It’s a problem we have to resolve,” he said.

A new pay rate has not been determined.

the job in 2011 get $47 a day.

But that also was a pay cut from the $55 a day they were getting.

Gerl said about 26 crossing guards make the higher pay rate. Those crossing guards have stayed on the job.

The pay increase would apply to guards making $25 a day.

The Joliet Police Department oversees school crossing guards.

Councilman Jim McFarland said he has heard from crossing guards and talked with the police department about the issue.

“They said it’s hard to fill the spots for $25 a day,” McFarland said. “When you’re there in the morning and then you’re coming back [in the afternoon], it eats up your day.”

In 2011, the city considered outsourcing crossing guard service to a private company, but the City Council decided against that option.

We use the laser with tremendous success for such conditions as warts, fungus and ingrown toenails, Morton’s neuroma (nerve tumors), seed corns, plugged sweat glands, and scar tissue.

JOLIET – People speaking at Joliet City Council meetings will get another minute to talk, among other changes from new public comment rules approved by the council last week.

The city has grappled with a sometimes controversial change in the rules for public comments for months. But the new rules were approved last week with hardly a comment.

One of the more notable changes is people will now get four minutes, instead of three, to speak. As was the case before, the council can choose to allow people to speak longer.

“I’m happy with it,” said resident John Sheridan, who led the push for rules on how the City Council operates.

Sheridan is active in the Cunningham Neighborhood Council and also successfully pushed for new rules governing absent council members after former District Four Councilwoman Susie Barber stopped coming to meetings for several months.

He said the rules on public comment are not dramatically different than what was applied previously, but does clarify some things.

“What they clarified, I have no quarrel with,” Sheridan said.

“It allows people flexibility. It allows people the extra minute.”

Councilman Jim McFarland, who advocated for the extra minute, also said the rules codify past practice, but it was important to do that.

“We didn’t necessarily reinvent the wheel, but we codified it and put it in writing, so people who come to speak know what the rules are,” McFarland said.

At one point, city officials said they could not find any written rules for public comments at council meetings.

McFarland located a 1998 resolution that outlined the rules.

The city attorney at the time said rules should be put in ordinance form so they could be more accessible. Now the rules are in an ordinance.

“It will be in the code book now, which is available online,” City Attorney Martin Shanahan

An overgrown lawn grows in front of an abandoned house Thursday along Hammes Avenue in Joliet.

Number of eyesore homes on the decline

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com While we don’t see as many abandoned homes as a few years ago, there are still some eyesores out there.

“May’s the busiest time [for complaints] because everyone notices who isn’t cutting their grass,” Joliet Director of Neighborhood Services Alfredo Melesio said.

Joliet, Lockport and Plainfield have an 8-inch limit for grass and weeds on residential, commercial and vacant property. An unkempt lawn doesn’t always mean a house is vacant, but Melesio said staff tries to find the parties responsible for a property when there’s a complaint. Inspectors are assigned to certain areas.

“We try to find somebody responsible. If it’s not in the foreclosure process, we’ll go after the owner, and if it’s foreclosed, we go after the bank,” Melesio said.

“At the high point, there were 500 about three or four years ago. The number of vacancies has gone down as the number gone to auction has dipped.”

Alfredo Melesio Joliet director of neighborhood services

In Joliet, maintenance is bid out to contractors weekly and those costs are put into liens on the property. Owners can also be fined up to $750 per violation.

Melesio estimated there were 150 abandoned homes in Joliet and 100 vacant properties still being maintained, or are at a stage where the bank hasn’t caught up in the seizure process.

“At the high point, there were 500 about three or four years ago,” Melesio said. “The number of vacancies has gone down as the number gone to auction has dipped.”

According to RealtyTrac, in

2013 Illinois was second only to Florida in empty distressed homes, with 31,668.

Morris Building and Zoning Officer Bill Cheshareck said Morris had about 40 abandoned homes at the foreclosure peak, but now has less than two dozen. Cheshareck said the water department and city clerk’s office notify public works about what houses are in foreclosure.

“Spring is when people notice lawns, but we understand somebody might work long shifts or not be able to get [cutting] as often, so we do want to give them opportunity to take care of it,” Cheshareck said.

Cheshareck said the city is required to post legal notices to give owners a chance to address maintenance issues before having public works employees cut the grass and charge their hourly rate to a lien on the property.

Grundy County Land Use Director Heidi Miller said complaints about vacant homes in unincorporated areas are verified by an inspection, attempts to contact the owners by mail and, finally, a lien to cover the expense of hiring a company to cut the grass.

“We are complaint driven.

Grundy County is such a big area,” she said.

Will County Land Use Director Curt Paddock said Will County also responds to complaints instead of having a “patrol beat” for enforcement violations.

While long grass can violate county codes, Paddock said the county will only pay to address an issue on a vacant

property if there is a threat to public safety – such as imminent collapse.

Minooka Building and Zoning Officer Steve Thornton said the village also uses liens against vacant properties they have to maintain.

Miller believes letters warning about possible liens are effective in getting owners to take care of maintenance issues.

“Tracking the companies responsible [for a property] takes a while, which is the problem – what’s happening to it while that’s sorted out,” Miller said. “Foreclosure companies that take over from a bank are not property maintenance companies, but they’ve had to become that.”

It’s not quite accurate to say foreclosure issues have come to an end, Paddock said.

“The number of abandoned houses has stabilized, but [foreclosures] haven’t stopped,” Paddock said.

14 Plainfield farmer surrenders for 2nd time on dumping charges

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield farmer Herman Fritz turned himself in to the Plainfield Police Department on Friday afternoon, a week after his second arrest warrant was issued by a Will County judge.

Fritz posted $10,000 bail, 10 percent of a $100,000 bond, immediately after turning himself in to Plainfield police at about 4:15 p.m., Sgt. Herman Fritz Mike Fisher said. Fritz was wanted on charges of environmental dumping and burning.

“We’re just waiting on the county for a court date,” Fisher said.

Neither Fritz nor his lawyer, Randal Miller, returned phone calls for comment Friday.

A Will County judge issued an arrest warrant after the

farmer missed his scheduled arraignment date June 12.

It’s the second arrest warrant issued for Fritz on criminal charges of illegal dumping and burning of waste on his farm property and into the DuPage River, which borders the farm located northeast of the intersection of Caton Farm Road and Route 59.

The first May 7 warrant was filed by the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. Fritz was given an offer to surrender by May 8. He finally surrendered to Plainfield police May 12.

Fritz faces charges including felony criminal disposal of waste, including more than 250 cubic feet of dirt, bricks, asphalt, concrete, scrap metal, cardboard and bricks.

He also is charged with four counts of misdemeanor criminal disposal of waste, one count of misdemeanor criminal air pollution for burning waste on his property, and three counts of misdemeanor water pollution for allegedly dumping waste into the DuPage River.

Know the rules when it comes to block parties

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Block parties can help build a sense of community in a neighborhood, but some common-sense rules will go a long way to avoid trouble with the police or the city.

The first step, of course, is to get permission to hold a block party ahead of time – a process that varies depending on where you live.

In Morris, the process is fairly simple and requires only City Council approval. In Joliet, there’s an application process that requires approval from several departments, including the city manager, police and fire departments.

That’s because the same application is used for various outdoor events – from the Joliet Public Library’s recent Star Wars Day and the city Chamber’s New Orleans North Festival to the ongoing farmers markets.

“We want to have knowledge of the block party ahead of time,” said Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton. “That’s so our emergency response is aware. It’s all about communication.”

For the most part, Morris city officials are fairly laid back about the approval process for block parties – but Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said that’s because the city hasn’t had any noncompliance issues in years.

“Most of these are family-oriented get-togethers,” he said. “The reason behind it

Benton said the top complaint received from neighbors most years relates to noise.

“We do tend to have issue with people who go too late and get too loud,” Benton said.

“Block parties are great, but noise can be a problem sometimes.”

Benton encourages party hosts to be respectful of the rest of the neighborhood.

Keeping large tents, tables and other items on the curbside and out of the streets – so emergency vehicles have access in the event of a problem – also is key, Kopczick said.

Other rules – such as open liquor in the public right of way and underage drinking – are obvious, common rules he wants participants to follow, he added.

The city hasn’t had an issue in years, but Kopczick said Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com officials would consider adBuz Chouinard, a member of the Community Life Commission, ties a yellow piece of tape across the en- ditional regulations if things trance to a parking lot Thursday during preparations for Immaculate Conception’s block party Friday in ever were to get out of hand.

Q There is no limit to the number of block parties held at one time in the city.

Q Applications must be submitted a minimum of three weeks before the scheduled event, and all information requested on the form must be submitted before review can take place.

Q Signatures of adults living on the block are required, and permits are not issued for private individual parties.

Q Block parties should be located on streets with minimal traffic. Some busy streets cannot be approved.

One-time visitors such as Calhoun and Peterson, and season and FounderPASS ticket holders walked all around the Speedway from the Fan Zone to Champion’s Park, where Father’s Day weekend events such as a men’s expo and a “Drive ’N Dad” car show were featured.

JOLIET – The NASCAR Xfinity Series race festivities this weekend were the first time Lockport resident Travis Calhoun ventured out to the Chicagoland Speedway since he was a little kid.

“All I could remember was I was under [an overturned] truck,” the 15-year-old Calhoun said about the time severe weather whipped through the Speedway when he was about 4 years old.

For Calhoun, the weekend events would have been something he did for Father’s Day with his dad, who has passed away.

But he was all smiles, talking and laughing with his mother and some close friends at the Infield Fan Zone after obtaining passes and enjoying the prerace attractions Saturday morning.

“I came to just spend time with my family, and for the girls,” Calhoun said with a wry smile.

Lockport resident Christine Peterson, a friend of Calhoun’s mother, praised the fan-driver experience.

“This is a great thing they do for Joliet, for Will County,” she said.

Getzinger of Grayslake camps out at the infield with his son, Brendan Getzinger, every year since the race opened.

“We spend time together,” Getzinger said. “He’s with his friends and enjoys [it]. We’re out all day.”

Brendan, 11, was mini-golfing with his friend across from a line of cars for the car show.

His favorite part is hanging out with friends and eating the food. But the race was important, too.

“I can’t wait for the race,” he said.

The race is one of several at the Speedway that Coal City resident and FounderPASS holder Kim Wynn has attended with his son.

“He and I come out for a father-son bonding time,” Kim Wynn said. “Part of coming to the racetrack is the experience. I get better seats watching TV. But here, you get the sound, sight and aroma – sensory overload.”

This time, Wynn’s son, Kyle Wynn, just had a son.

“I couldn’t bring him today,” Kyle Wynn said. “But me and him and my dad, I’ll continue the tradition.”

In addition to the Father’s Day attractions, the Speedway had a Kids Club and several autographing sessions. The “Chicagoland Speedland Garage Experience” let fans with passes check out the garage pits.

“One of the cool things is the open garage right now,” Xfinity Series points leader Chris Buescher said, adding that the drivers had down time around noon to get cars through the garage. “It’s pretty neat to see the amount of fans that come down to participate and take pictures and see some behind-the-scenes stuff that you don’t get at a lot of other race tracks.”

2 new board members begin tenure with Richland schools Hernandez, Capalbo to serve 2-year terms

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – The addition of two new members has made the Richland School District 88a Board whole again.

Stephanie Hernandez and Joette Capalbo were appointed by the board to two-year terms at the board’s May 20 meeting. They join April election winners Sam Chellino, Steve McNabb, Michelle Cipiti and Stormy Reiter, as well as President Julie Starasinich, on the school board.

The two new members joined the board for their first full meeting Wednesday.

Hernandez unsuccessfully ran for one of the four open four-year terms on the board during the election.

“We’re very happy to have them,” Starasinich said.

“They showed a strong interest in the district, as all the candidates did. We have a strong board and that will continue. We had a good pool to choose from.”

Hernandez and Capalbo fill two unexpired terms that will be up for election in 2017.

One was a two-year unexpired term that no one ran for on the April 7 ballot.

The other one opened up after board member Sylvia Zielke resigned April 29.

Superintendent Michael Early said seven people pulled application packets when the

district started soliciting the public for those interested in serving on the board.

“Six people returned completed packets,” Early said.

“After the packets were re-

turned, we had one person withdraw the name. That left five people vying for two seats.”

The five candidates were interviewed at the May 20

board meeting during a closed session. Early said it was a difficult decision for the board because all the candidates brought their own skills to the table.

OBITUARIES DAVID C. WISSEL

By DONNA GORDON BLANKINSHIP The Associated Press SEATTLE – Elson Floyd, the popular president of Washington State University whose influence in higher education and politics spread beyond the school in rural eastern Washington, has died from complications of colon cancer. He was 59.

Floyd, WSU president since 2007, had gone on medical leave earlier this month.

He died Saturday morning at Pullman Regional Hospital, school spokeswoman Kathy Barnard said.

Referring to Washington State’s athletic mascot, Gov. Jay Inslee said Floyd “turned Washington State into Cougar State, dramatically expanding the scope of the university on both sides of the mountains.”

Inslee also expressed thanks for the way Floyd had advised him during his time as governor, starting with his role as co-chair of Inslee’s transition team.

Floyd’s most recent accomplishment in the Statehouse was convincing the Legislature to establish a second medical school in Washington state after years of dominance in medical ed-

ucation around the region by the University of Washington in Seattle.

WSU Board of Regents Chair Ryan Durkan listed the future medical school in Spokane among Floyd’s successes. Durkan also noted the university’s record-breaking $1 billion capital campaign, its largest enrollment in 125 years and Elson Floyd Floyd’s successful effort to double the number of students from minority groups.

When the school announced his medical leave two weeks ago, Floyd had said he hoped to return to his duties at some point. His death came as a surprise to many throughout the state.

“Though his prognosis and outlook remained positive, recently the illness took a more serious turn,” Durkan said in a statement.

“Higher education has lost a giant, and the world has lost one of its kindest human beings.”

The university completed 30 major construction projects during Floyd’s tenure, including building a new

wine science center in Richland and the Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health on the school’s main campus in Pullman near the Idaho border.

Floyd, a native of North Carolina, was the 10th president of the school.

Floyd was one of the highest-paid public-college presidents in the country.

Earlier this year, the regents approved an increase that brought his annual salary to $775,025.

In 2008, Floyd asked for and received a $100,000-a-year salary reduction during the recession and its aftermath. He described that pay cut as leading by example, at a time when faculty salaries were frozen, programs were being cut and tuition was growing by double-digit percentages.

In 2014, his contract was extended by seven years after he told the board of regents that he had a lot of work he wanted to accomplish at WSU and intended to stay until he retired.

He previously served as president of the four-campus University of Missouri System and president of Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo.

Veteran AP reporter, editor Laura Myers dies

By KIMBERLY PIERCEALL The Associated Press LAS VEGAS – Laura Myers, a veteran Associated Press reporter and editor who led the news cooperative’s coverage of foreign affairs as the country reeled from the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks and spent the past five years covering politics for Nevada’s largest newspaper, died Friday.

The Las Vegas Review-Journal, where Myers had been the newspaper’s lead political reporter since 2010, reported that she had been diagnosed with colon cancer in 2013. She was 53.

“Laura was ferociously interested in the world and in the

stories people had to tell. She had left journalism to go to film school and luckily, I was able to talk her into coming back to help with coverage of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,” said Kathleen Carroll, executive editor of the AP. “She worked Laura Myers relentlessly with reporters and editors in the field, asking smart questions, stitching together bits of intelligence from reporters scattered around the world to frame interesting, intelligent stories. She made us better for a very long time and we were lucky to be her colleague.”

The Las Vegas native was the political editor for the AP during the 2000 presidential election.

“She was literally my right arm during the 2000 presidential campaign,” said Sandy Johnson, president of the National Press Foundation who was the wire service’s Washington bureau chief at the time.

Johnson resisted declaring a victor when results appeared too narrow between former vice president Al Gore and eventual winner George W. Bush.

In a memo written that year as the lengthy vote recount was beginning, Johnson said the story was “in the hands of the best political editor possible.”

Later, Myers led the news agency’s foreign affairs, military, national security and intelligence coverage as the country reeled from the Sept.

11 terrorist attacks and went to war in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Myers was the first to arrive and last to leave and worked through Christmas leading coverage when a tsunami hit Indonesia in 2004, Johnson said.

Myers began her journalism career in 1984 as a reporter for the Reno Gazette-Journal.

She spent more than 17 years on and off with the AP starting in 1987 in the Reno bureau. She later worked in San Jose and San Francisco, helping with coverage of the Los Angeles

riots in 1992, before Johnson tried to recruit her to the wire service’s Washington, D.C., bureau.

Instead, Myers took a few years off to work as a Peace Corps volunteer in West Africa, the first of a few departures to do volunteer work.

In a hand-written note to an AP hiring manager sent from Kenya in 1995, she noted her travels.

“The air atop Mt. Kilimanjaro sure is thin, and the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe is something to behold!” she wrote.

When she wasn’t working for AP, she traveled the world learning new languages and helping build up communities.

Fake NHL gear worth $180,000 seized after Stanley Cup final

CHICAGO – Federal authorities say they seized counterfeit NHL merchandise worth an estimated $180,000 in the days surrounding the Blackhawks’ Stanley Cup victory.

The operation was handled by the Homeland Security Investigations unit of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It focused on catching illegal vendors near the Hawks’ home ice at the United Center and Amalie Arena in Tampa Bay. The thousands of seized items included fake jerseys, caps and other memorabilia.

James Gibbons, acting special agent in charge of Homeland Security Investigations in Chicago, said that “during every major sporting event ... criminal groups capitalize on the enthusiasm of fans by selling them counterfeit team merchandise.”

He said “intellectual property theft is a very real crime with very real victims.”

New roof most pressing need for governor’s mansion

SPRINGFIELD – The organization raising money to renovate the Illinois governor’s mansion says the most pressing need is replacing the ailing roof on the 160-year-old building.

AP photo

David Webb of J.W. Reynolds Monuments installs a burial marker June 10 commemorating 17 victims of the 1922 Herrin Massacre at the municipal cemetery in the southern Illinois town of Herrin. A team of local historians and university scientists spent several years working to identify the location of the previously unmarked graves. The clash between striking coal miners and a group of replacement workers and guards was one of the nation’s deadliest labor disputes.

The Illinois Executive Mansion Association said in a news release Friday that the organization plans to provide construction specifications to contractors interested in repairing the roof.

Jeff Evans, a volunteer with the association who owns a Springfield architectural and construction management company, said it’s important to replace the roof “as soon as possible.”

Leaks from the roof – which

hasn’t been replaced in 45 years – already have caused water damage inside the mansion.

The Illinois Executive Mansion is the third-oldest governor’s residence in the country.

Church shooting site to reopen; FBI reviews shooter manifesto

By JEFFREY COLLINS and EMILY MASTERS The Associated Press CHARLESTON, S.C. – A small group of parishioners was allowed inside the bullet-scarred Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church Saturday, getting a firsthand glimpse of the room where nine people from their congregation were slain.

Meanwhile, the FBI said it was investigating a manifesto purportedly written by the suspected gunman, 21-yearold Dylann Roof.

The website linked to Roof contained photos of him holding a burning American flag and standing on one. In other images, he was holding a Confederate flag, considered a divisive symbol by civil rights leaders and others.

The hate-filled 2,500-word essay talks about white supremacy, and the author says “the event that truly awakened me was the Trayvon Martin case” – the unarmed black teen fatally shot by neighborhood watch volunteer George

Zimmerman while walking home in Florida in 2012.

The manifesto said “it was obvious that Zimmerman was in the right” and that the case led him to search “black on White crime” on the Internet.

“I have never been the same since that day,” it said.

It’s unclear whether Roof wrote the rants, but they are in line with what he has told friends and what he said before allegedly opening fire inside the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal church Wednesday night.

Cleaning crews worked at the church Saturday, and church members announced they will hold a Sunday service. Harold Washington, 75, was with the small group that saw the lower-level room where the victims were shot.

“They did a good job cleaning it up,” he said. “There were a few bullet holes around, but what they did, they cut them out so you don’t see the actual holes.”

He said he expected an emotional service with a large turnout Sunday.

“We’re gonna have people come by that we’ve never seen before and will probably never see again, and that’s OK,” he said. “It’s a church of the Lord – you don’t turn nobody down.”

The church had that same welcoming nature when Roof walked into their Bible study, Felecia Sanders said at Roof’s bail hearing Friday. Sanders survived the shooting, but her son Tywanza died.

As for the possible manifesto, Internet registry records show that the website was created Feb. 9 via a Russian registry service with the owner’s personal details hidden. A man who answered the phone at the Moscow-based company would not say who the site’s owner was.

Roof is being held in jail, facing nine counts of murder and a weapons charge.

A police affidavit released Friday accused Roof of shooting all nine multiple times and making a “racially inflammatory statement” as he stood over an unidentified survivor.

Texas turns away from criminal truancy courts for its students

By JAMIE STENGLE The Associated Press DALLAS – A long-standing Texas law that has sent about 100,000 students a year to criminal court – and some to jail – for missing school is off the books, although a Justice Department investigation into one county’s truancy courts continues.

Gov. Greg Abbott has s igned into law a measure to decriminalize unexcused absences and require school districts to implement preventive measures. It will take effect Sept. 1.

Reform advocates say the threat of a heavy fine – up to $500 plus court costs – and a criminal record wasn’t keeping children in school and was sending those who couldn’t pay into a criminal justice system spiral. Under the old law, students as young as 12 could be ordered to court for three unexcused absences in four weeks.

Schools were required to file a misdemeanor failure to attend school charge against students with more than 10 unexcused absences in six months. And unpaid fines landed some students behind bars when they turned 17.

“Most of the truancy issues involve hardships,” state Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston, said. “To criminalize the hardships just doesn’t solve anything. It costs largely low-income families. It doesn’t address the root causes.”

Only two states in the U.S. – Texas and Wyoming – send truants to adult criminal court. In 2013, Texas prosecuted about 115,000 cases, more than twice the number of truancy cases filed in juvenile courts of all other states, according to a report from the nonprofit advocacy group Texas Appleseed. An estimated $10 million was collected from court costs and fines from students for truancy in fiscal year 2014 alone, the Texas Office of Court Administration said.

Texas Appleseed says the policies disproportionately affected low-income, Hispanic, black and disabled students. The group was also among several groups that filed a U.S. Justice Department complaint about Dallas County’s specialty truancy courts, which in 2012 prosecuted over 36,000 cases, more than any other Texas county. The Justice Department

in March began looking into whether students had received due process, something spokeswoman Dena Iverson said will continue as the department evaluates the new legislation’s impact.

In 12 of the state’s largest 15 counties, Texas Appleseed told The Associated Press, at least 1,283 teenagers were jailed for failure to attend school from January 2013 through April 2015. At least 910 of them spent at least one night in jail.

Peyton Walker’s absences began piling up in seventh grade as she suffered from depression, anxiety and migraines, she said. After missing a court date in Dallas County truancy court at the age of 12, she said she was arrested and handcuffed at school in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite.

Walker said the legal situation just made things worse.

“It was more: No matter if I go [to school] or not, I’m going to go to court anyway,” said now 18-year-old Walker, who graduated from high school this spring. She and her mother, who is on disability, still have $2,000 in pending fines, and Walker won’t be able to get a driver’s license until they are paid.

HABANIYAH, Iraq – Parading across a desert base, hundreds of Sunni tribesmen who graduated a crash-training course stood ready to take on the Islamic State group on behalf of a government that many believed left them to die at the hands of the extremists.

Among them were tribesmen who watched as Iraqi forces abandoned Ramadi a month ago to the Islamic State group. Their suspicions toward the Shiite-led government in Baghdad could be seen as they pushed forward to receive their first government salary in 18 months, with one brandishing a Kalashnikov assault rifle as he neared the front.

“For a year and a half we told them we need weapons, we need salaries, we need food, we need protection, but our requests were ignored until the disaster of Ramadi happened,” said Sheikh Rafa al-Fahdawi, one of the leaders of the Al Bu Fahad tribe of Anbar province.

But money and weapons alone won’t be enough to repair the mistrust between Baghdad and the Sunni tribes it now needs to battle the Islamic State group, which holds about a third of the country and neighboring Syria in its self-declared “caliphate.” After Iraqi forces abandoned Ramadi and then turned to Shiite militias for help, both sides remain suspicious of each other, threatening any effort to work together.

Iraq’s Sunnis long have complained of discrimination and abuse since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that toppled Saddam Hussein’s Sunni-led dictatorship and replaced it with a government dominated by the country’s Shiite majority. But the collapse of Iraqi forces in Ramadi on May 17 crystalized the fears many Sunni tribesmen had when their pleas for help

went unanswered.

That night, silence fell over Ramadi after weeks of Islamic State-launched suicide car bomb attacks and gun battles, said Sunni tribesmen who spoke to The Associated Press.

The Iraqi forces there, including its vaunted special forces units, slipped out of the city, leaving Sunni tribesmen armed only with light weapons and their personal vehicles to battle the extremists, they said. The city quickly fell, forcing the tribesmen to flee.

“We felt there was no hope when the military left,” said Omar al-Fahdawi, a member of the Al Bu Fahad tribe from Ramadi. “For a year and a half we have been begging for government support, for weapons, for help. But we were forgotten.”

A senior Iraqi intelligence official and operations commander in Anbar province confirmed that counterterrorism forces were the first to pull out of Ramadi, abandoning 89 Humvees and armored cars, as well as rifles and mortars.

The official said that the counterterrorism units were ambushed by some 200 militant fighters, breaking their line of defense and forcing them to withdraw, leaving the army and tribal fighters outnumbered and outgunned.

The official spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn’t authorized to brief journalists. Iraq’s Defense Ministry refused to comment.

The al-Fahdawis and many of their fellow tribesmen are now displaced and require government support for their families, most of whom now live in camps or temporary housing in the Anbar town of Khalidiyah.

But they are lucky compared to others. The Islamic State group has massacred hundreds of men, women and children with Anbar’s Al Bu Nimr tribe for resisting their rule and cooperating with the Iraqi government.

And last January, names as Revco, Arbor Drugs, when CVS was trading in the

mid-$90s, Goldman Sachs published a provocative five-page report suggesting a $114 target this year. Now I’m told by a Goldman source this report may be revised upward.

During the past dozen years, CVS has performed marvelously for shareholders – rising from $16 a share to over $100.

And earnings, which have improved annually from 97 cents a share in 2003 to an expected $5.15 in 2015, have been helped by a 35 percent increase in net profit margins, from 3 percent in 2003 to 4.1 percent this year.

Management has also increased dividends annually for the past dozen years, from 9 cents to $1.24, and in that same time frame, book value has zoomed from $7.25 to $36.50. These metrics and others continue to produce excellent numbers year after year.

CVS’ impressive numbers can be blamed on its skilled management. Management has been enormously suc-

cessful with its two-pronged strategy to maximize returns from its pharmacy. CVS has become a top-tier pharmacy benefits manager. This service processes members’ prescription claims, making certain the claims comply with the benefit plan’s parameters. And the PBM also is responsible for paying the retail pharmacy on behalf of the client.

Fortunately, large PBMs such as CVS are able to negotiate attractive discounts, keep a portion of that discount as extra profit and still give the client attractive pricing. And management has integrated these operations vertically; as an independent PBM, it processes the claims and also manages the largest retail pharmacy business in the nation.

The 1.1 billion claims processed in the past 12 months give CVS tremendous scale advantage; CVS has the lowest selling, general and administrative costs while enjoying the highest operat-

ing profits per claim. And that translated into impressive returns on invested capital (12.5 percent) and a superb return on shareholder equity (15.1 percent) last year.

Merrill Lynch, Morningstar and others who follow CVS believe its record growth will continue. Wall Street believes that next year, CVS will report revenues of $162 billion, earn $5.80 a share (which is a very low 17 times future earnings), pay another record dividend of $1.40 and post a book value of $40.

This suggests that CVS has limited downside risk and that in the coming three years, CVS could trade in the $140s and pay a $1.80 dividend. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the stock split in the next six months. That broker has given you some bosker advice.

OUR VIEW

Congrats on improving transparency We often use this space to criticize state lawmakers for the job they’ve done running this state into the ground and failing to make tough decisions to turn things around.

Not this time.

We’d like to congratulate lawmakers for not making the spring legislative session a complete waste of time. An important government transparency law was passed.

House Bill 175 allows people to report possible violations of the Open Meetings Act within 60 days of discovery, rather than 60 days from the meeting in question.

The bill was authored in response to the Oakwood Hills power plant fiasco last summer in McHenry County. A closeddoor meeting that likely violated the Open Meetings Act helped result in the Oakwood Hills Village Board trying to thrust an unwanted 430-megawatt, $450 million power plant on its residents.

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

That will change, assuming Gov. Bruce Rauner signs the legislation into law. Public bodies need to be held accountable for keeping the public in the dark.

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

Passing HB 175 is a victory for government transparency.

We thank local lawmakers from throughout our area for putting their support behind the bill.

We might not have gotten a budget deal in the spring legislative session, but we did get a tool to hold government more accountable.

Tribute to dad on feast of St. Anthony This is my third Father’s Day without my dad, Lionel.

There isn’t a day that passes that I don’t think of him. I make many of my daily decisions and some of my most challenging life judgments by the character he exhibited and the values he taught all nine of his kids.

Lionel wasn’t big on celebrating “the B-day.” He wanted us to spend whatever time we had on his special day with family enjoying ourselves – and yes, drinking cold beer, cooking delicious Cajun or Creole meals and attending Mass.

My dad used his birthday, June 13 (which always occurred near Father’s Day), to remind us to pray to St. Anthony, his beloved patron saint who was born in Lisbon, Portugal. The feast of St. Anthony is celebrated on my dad’s birthday, and in their honor, I recently traveled to Portugal.

St. Anthony had a short life.

VIEWS Donna Brazile age 35. But in those few years, his life as a teacher of monks and as a powerful speaker made a profound impact on others – including those of the Catholic Church.

St. Anthony was attracted to the Franciscan order where he was mentored by St. Francis of Assisi – Pope Francis’s favorite saint. Francis saw in Anthony a kindred spirit, one who believed with him that action based on scripture should be of paramount importance, not an obsession with theology itself.

St. Anthony became the patron saint of lost people, lost things and even lost spiritual goods. His miracles, involving what is lost – and found – led to his sainthood. Centuries later, this influence continued in Lionel’s life.

My father was spiritual. If he invited you into his life, you had his daily prayers forever after. Lionel imbued his children with his faith and his love of the Catholic Church. I’m completing this tribute to him by design in Portugal, where the nation is celebrating the Feast of St. Anthony. I can’t think of a better way to honor him.

Many of my siblings worship now in other Christian denominations. But it was my dad’s faith that sustained us through so many trials, and which today underpins our own faith.

He weathered the storms that came, especially the loss of family, which impacts us all, losing both his wife and his eldest son.

My dad was the real deal. He was a veteran, and he never allowed his nine kids to forget it. We learned a reverence for serving our country from him.

Teachers deserve more respect

To the Editor: It doesn’t matter how many kids you have, I found a babysitting service that pays the sitters about a dollar an hour per kid. I say babysitter, but that’s a misnomer because they frequently sit for kids up to 18 years old.

When I say cheap it’s because we don’t directly pay for the sitter like you do the teenager

that comes to your house to try to keep your rug rats from doing wrong or the day care center that allows you to drop them off.

You probably have figured out who that greatly underpaid person is. When you work the numbers, a school teacher gets about a dollar to a dollar and a half per student per hour. You may pay a teenager $10 an hour or a day care school even more per child.

Large portions, perhaps a majority, use public schools as a day care so both parents can work.

When the child is sick or school isn’t in session somebody has to stay home. I say a day care because the parents don’t push students to do their homework or to do better.

When parents come home they are tired, but still have to fix dinner, clean house, do laundry and other jobs, so the student is left to social media and games.

Which brings us back to the cheap babysitter. Too many teachers become the only parents those students will know.

They teach morals, ethics, along with the regular subjects for a buck an hour. What a deal!

A thanks to our educators

To the Editor: I recently read an excellent cover story in the Herald-News honoring the well-deserved retirement of Joliet Central High School Principal Mr. John Randich. We are clearly blessed having wonderfully dedicated educational leaders in many of our private and public Joliet-area schools.

These ladies and gentlemen guide our grade, middle, junior high and high schools with ultimate integrity, class and great professionalism. The future of our local schools and subsequent academic student successes are indeed very positive due to the diligent efforts of leaders like the recently retired Steelmen principal Mr. John Randich.

Thank you all!

What has happened to our freedoms?

To the Editor: I’m the homeless street minister with a dog who pushes the bike with three decorated carts. I have concerns for the true American way of life. In my search for answers to problems most of us face, I had to go

back to a time when most were doing fairly well.

God led me to 1961. John F. Kennedy was president but to his dismay he found lobbyists in the House and Senate. He felt they had no business being where laws were made and wanted them out. Before he could, he was assassinated.

The lobbyists remained and no president since had dared to try to remove them.

In 1973 came the so-called gas shortage with its inflation and what the Democrats called the depression. The gas shortage lasted until 1979. On Nov. 4, 1979, the Iran hostage crisis started.

The hostages were held for 444 days and released just hours after Ronald Reagan was made president. Reagan cuts domestic spending, which adversely affected small businesses, middle class and the poor.

Large-scale tax cuts benefited the super wealthy which he claimed would trickle down.

Reagan made a secret deal with Iran, the sale of American missiles for seven hostages held in Lebanon. It was known as the Iran-Contra scandal.

Then George Bush Sr. ran for president saying, read my lips, no new taxes. After he became president he raised taxes on small businesses and middle

class.

William Clinton then became president. He signed the North American Free Trade Agreement, opening the door for large corporations and businesses to leave the U.S. for slave labor and still import their products here. By some miracle, Clinton balanced the budget.

Then in 2001, George Bush Jr. became president. He had the worst economic record since Herbert Hoover was president.

All of America’s eyes were on Afghan war, Iraq war and the War on Terror. Then the World Trade Center towers got hit and Bush Jr. signs the Patriot Act, superseding constitutional rights of all Americans and gives OK to torture Guantanamo POWs. Obama becomes president, saying change you can believe in, then gives the biggest stimulus in history – but 90 percent goes to large corporations, big banks, and Wall Street.

All while millions of middle class lose their homes across America with high gas prices, food prices and inflation of everything.

Now we have the USA Freedom Act. What happened to our freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution?

A father never stops being a father. It’s the most important job in the world. It’s even more important than being president.

Being a father comes first even if you are president. In so many ways – in every way, actually – all that I am, I owe to him.

Our nation is built upon the characters of fathers and mothers. Our nation’s survival, its commitment to preserving human rights as the gift of God alone, and our national character are the

accumulation of the faith, love and character of millions upon millions of parents.

This Father’s Day, I’ll be thankful for my dad Lionel’s love and upbringing.

I’m in Portugal to celebrate his birthday on the day his patron, St. Anthony, also is celebrated.

I’ll be grateful and happy because I know my father is not lost, but found – in my daily life.

Severe Weather cancels the NASCAR Xfinity Owens Corning Atticat 300 race until Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway in Joliet.

NASCAR XFINITY SERIES – OWENS CORNING ATTICAT 300

Rain delays, postpones AttiCat 300

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Racing people are eternal optimists, but all the optimism in the world couldn’t stop the rain from pelting Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday night.

It hit at exactly 8 p.m., just as forecasters predicted, and as a result, the late-starting Xfinity Series AttiCat 300 was first delayed, then moved back to Sunday because of an approaching second wave of bad weather.

The race is now set for 11 a.m. Parking lots open at 9.

The race will be televised by FS2.

He’ll be joined on the front row by Ross Kenseth, who is making his Xfinity series de-

but. The 22-year-old son of Matt Kenseth slid the car during practice, but was smooth when it counted and turned a fast lap

of 176.557 mph.

Ryan Reed, who is eighth in the standings and starts 14th, will come into the race on a high, having won the ARCA Scott 150 that was the undercard to the Xfinity joust. Less than 2,500 people were probably watching, but Reed’s runaway victory was a tonic to him.

Going into the race, the wiser heads on pit lane were tracking the oncoming storm, trying to gauge when it would hit.

“In this scenario, you pay attention to that halfway point, make sure we don’t do anything early on that would take us a full race to recover from,” Xfitnity standings leader Chris Buescher said before qualifying ninth. “We’ll be aware and make sure we have track

position midway through the race, or when it’s getting close, if there is a bad outlook on the weather.

“It’s a little bit different.

Another aspect that the crew chiefs will be juggling around, trying to figure out, trying to watch the radar a lot more than usual.”

How that strategy might evolve was the great question.

“If the weather rolls in, you’ll see drivers pitting to do a fuel-mileage deal,” Chase Elliott said. “They’ll want to stay out and have enough gas to make it until it rains. That’s a big gamble.”

Then it rained 49 minutes before the green flag, and every theoretical in the mind of every crew chief was replaced by the waiting game.

ARCA – SCOTT 150

Scott 150 results

By DICK GOSS

JOLIET – Ryan Reed started in the back of the field because of a wreck in qualifying.

No big deal, however. Reed zoomed all the way up to 11th within two laps and led from the 31st lap until the finish of the 100lap ARCA Series Scott 150 on Saturday evening at Chicagoland Speedway.

Reed became the 15th different champion in the 15-year history of the ARCA race at Chicagoland, and his victory marked the sixth straight race this season where a driver won his first ARCA race ever.

Reed crashed in qualifying but when it counted, his ride was the class of the field.

His final victory margin was 6.293 seconds over runner-up Grant Enfinger, the series points leader who has not visited Victory Lane since winning the first three races of this season.

“Our pit crew made good adjustments,” said Enfinger, who was not in the top five until the last quarter of the race. After a strong pit stop, he came out and passed Will Kimmel, who had run well throughout, and gave it all he had. On this night, however, Reed’s Lira Motorsports Ford Fusion was uncatchable.

Kimmel, who led from lap 5 through lap 30, settled for third place. Matt Tifft, in the car that Ross Kenseth drove to victory last week at Michigan, claimed fourth and veteran Frank Kimmel finished fifth.

“Ever since we unloaded, Carlos [Lira, the car owner] gave me a car where it was my job to mess up, which I tried to do in qualifying,” Reed said. “That’s one time in Victory Lane tonight, with one more to go.”

Reed was one of four drivers scheduled to pull double duty and also run in the NASCAR Xfinity Series AttiCat 300 late Saturday night. However, that race was rained out and will be run at 11 a.m. Sunday.

Reed opened 2015 with a victory for Roush Fenway Racing in the Xfinity race at Daytona, and now he has his first victory in ARCA. “My job was easy in this car from the moment I hopped in it,” Reed said. “Not often you can drive a car that good.”

“Carlos [Lira] gave Ryan some good advice: ‘Proceed like a mouse chasing cheese, just a little bit at a time,’ ” Roush said. “Congratulations to Carlos. This was his first ARCA win.”

In Febraury of 2011, Reed was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and doctors told him he would not be able to race again. Reed became a diabetes advocate. He installed a drink system in his car and a blood glucose monitor on the dashboard, which displays

He monitors blood glucose levels during races, and a crew member injects him with insulin during pit stops.

“Ryan is an interesting young man,” Roush said. “From the first time we put him on the track, he was as good as Carl Edwards or Matt Kenseth were at that stage.”

“After winning at Daytona, I said how much it meant to me,” said Reed, whose car was sponsored by Lilly Diabetes. “I had been starting to wonder if it would ever

happen again. It was really a special moment after you’re told you will never be in a race car again, and here you are winning ARCA and NASCAR races.”

Reed, who before Saturday had not run a race in ARCA since 2012, said he never had attempted two races in one night and was looking forward to it.

“Of course, managing my diabetes is priority No. 1 for me,” he said. “What happened tonight is testament to my work with doctors paying off.”

“After winning at Daytona, I said how it meant to me. I had been starting to wonder if it would ever happen again. It was really a special moment after you’re told you will never be in a race car again, and here you are, winning ARCA and NASCAR races.”

COAL CITY BASEBALL

Littleton impressive in junior season

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

C

OAL CITY – When Coal City pitcher Brad Littleton looks back at his season, it’s hard for him to pick a game that stands out more than the others.

That’s understandable as Littleton finished the season with a 9-0 record to go with a 1.07 ERA. In 65 innings, he struck out 108 batters against just 13 walks while allowing only 33 hits. To top it off, he finished the year with a streak of 40 consecutive scoreless innings.

Those pitching stats are eye-popping enough, but when you throw in a .340 batting average, five home runs (tied for the lead on the team) and 28 RBIs (second on the team) for the Coalers, who finished 29-5, and you have The Morris Herald-News’ Player of the Year.

One of the highlights for Littleton, a junior who returns next season, was a 1-0 duel he won against Reed-Custer’s Brent Headrick in the Class 2A Coal City Regional semifinal, a contest in which he scored the game’s only run along with throwing a four-hitter with 10 strikeouts. Another was a game against Sandwich in which he threw a no-hitter and lost a perfect game with one out in the seventh when he walked a batter on a 3-2 pitch. He finished the game with 13 strikeouts.

“That Reed-Custer game was fun,” Littleton said. “Me and Brent are really good friends, so it was like we were just batting in the back yard.

Besides that one, there was the game against Sandwich.

Everything was working for me that day.”

Everything worked most of the season for Littleton, who already has committed to play for Indiana University. To add to other teams’ misery of facing him next year, he also will have a bit of unfinished business after Coal City lost to Herscher in the regional title game.

“We just couldn’t stop Herscher that day,” he said.

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

Brad Littleton swings at a pitch during a 1-0 win over Reed-Custer in the Class 2A Coal City Regional semifinals. Littleton scored the only run in the game and also threw a four-hitter with 10 strikeouts.

“That gives us a goal for next year to get further than we did this year. Our whole infield is back, so that will be nice.

“Our defense was pretty strong this year. It’s nice knowing that my defense is strong behind me. I know I don’t have to strike everybody out. If strikeouts come, that’s fine. But I know I don’t have to strike out every hitter because our defense will make the plays behind me. That helps out a lot.”

One person who is glad Littleton is returning is Coal City coach Jerry McDowell.

“Brad deserves any awards he gets,” McDowell said. “He has worked hard to get where

he is today. Athletes like him don’t come around too often.”

Not only is that pure athletic ability there for Littleton, but the work doesn’t stop when the high school season does.

“I have an off-season program of arm care,” he said. “I long-toss three times a week and on other days, I will work on hitting my spots. I am also on a weight program. It all seemed to help.”

It helped enough to get the attention of Indiana, which is not only in the Big Ten, but has recently been the class of the Big Ten. The Hoosiers’ Kyle Schwarber was drafted by the Cubs, and Providence

Catholic’s Sam Travis was also drafted out of the Bloomington, Indiana, school.

“It’s a nice campus and I liked it when I went there,” Littleton said. “They are a very good program. Besides Schwarber and Travis, Austin Cangelosi is there. I have worked out at the Bo Dome in Lockport, and his dad [former White Sox outfielder John Cangelosi] is an instructor there.”

During the summer, Littleton plays for Rynos Baseball, which is based in Frankfort. It includes players from Romeoville, Lockport, Providence and Lemont.

“It’s a good group of guys to play with,” he said. “We

are all good friends and they are good players. We talk a lot and we learn a lot from each other.”

Now that his college decision is made, Littleton can focus on one thing.

“We are losing some seniors to graduation that were real good players,” he said.

“But we hope to come back strong next year. It’s nice that I am going to have a clear head and just go out and play.

I don’t have to think about if college scouts are going to be there or not and trying to impress anybody. I can just go out and play.”

Which is impressive enough.

SLAMMERS 3, RIVER CITY 2 (8 INN.)

Slammers snap seven-game losing skid

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers were focused on putting a halt to three sets of dubious numbers in Saturday’s Frontier League game against River City – 1, 7 and 9.

Joliet entered the middle game of its weekend series 1-15 against teams with a record above .500, it was trying to halt a seven-game losing streak and hoped to avoid having 10 more defeats than wins.

The Slammers overcame a shaky start by moving ahead for good in the fifth inning and got a much-needed victory by beating the Rascals, 3-2, in a game that was halted by rain in the eighth inning at Silver

Cross Field.

After getting two on with none out in the second, Joliet (12-20) came up empty-handed.

But an inning later, it moved in front when Nate Roberts singled home JD Williams (2 for 3).

In the fourth, River City (18-13) tied the score at 1 when Josh Ludy smacked a solo shot off the top of the center-field fence against Slammers starter Hunter Ackerman, who only allowed four hits and struck out five while walking one in six innings. Ackerman had given up 21 hits and 15 walks in 12⅔ innings and owned an 10.66 ERA this season.

After more frustration of getting two on with no outs and not scoring in the fourth,

Joliet moved in front in the fifth when Charlie White (2 for 4) led off with a single to right, stole second, moved to third on Roberts’ grounder and scored when Mike Garza (3 for 4) singled to center.

An inning later, Max Casper slapped a two-out solo homer to left to make it 3-1. It was his first home run of the season. Williams followed with a single, stole second and tried to score on White’s single, but was called out for running out of the base path before reaching home plate.

As the sixth inning concluded, play was halted because of rain and lightning in the area and the tarp was placed on the infield at about 7:55 p.m.

Play resumed about 40

minutes later and River City threatened by getting a runner to third with one out, but reliever David Kubiak fanned the final two hitters to give him three strikeouts in the seventh inning.

In the eighth, River City loaded the bases with no outs and Navery Moore came on in relief. After a strikeout and sacrifice fly by Taylor Ard to make it 3-2, Hector Crespo slapped a single to right, but right fielder Casey Fletcher threw the tying runner out the plate.

Play was halted again at about 9:12 p.m. and the tarp was again placed on the infield.

About 25 minutes later, the umpires ruled the contest was

over.

On Friday, the Slammers went 2 for 10 with runners in scoring position and dropped a 4-3 decision. Williams went 2 for 2 with an RBI, Rodriguez was 2 for 4 with two runs scored while Roberts also drove in a run.

River City scored twice in the fifth inning to grab a 3-2 lead and then added an insurance run in the seventh.

The Slammers tried to rally in the ninth following leadoff singles by Hunter Ridge and Williams.

After Phil Bates advanced the runners with a sacrifice, Roberts drove in one run with a groundout but Russell Moldenhauer grounded out to end things.

JOLIET AREA SPORTS HALL OF FAME

Latest class joins elite group in HOF

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Barb Burk, Mark Ruettiger, Nick Bromberek, Oliver Gibson and Pat Sullivan all have received enough honors in their great careers to line the walls of several rooms.

But the latest five inductees into the Joliet Area Sports Hall of Fame all took special pride in knowing the latest plaques they received are perhaps the best of all.

The five were honored during a ceremony Friday at Silver Cross Field. After throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at the Slammers’ game, the members of the hall of fame’s eighth induction class reflected on the significance of this latest honor.

Burk was a pioneer in advancing girls athletics not only at Lockport, but throughout Illinois. And while she retired as the state’s all-time winningest softball coach and was among the winningest nationwide, she’s most proud of her behind-the scenes efforts.

She’s appreciative to have had the opportunity to coach so many athletes and did her best to help them all to achieve whatever they could.

It was a lesson she had learned well while growing up, when many people tried to help her pursue her own dreams.

“I was so excited when [former Lockport athletic director] Kent (Irvin) called me and told me about this and like I said in my speech, I just bawled,” Burk said. “To think that this many years after I retired and to receive this honor is great.

“It just thrills my heart that I was able to help open doors.

Any time you can help people achieve something that they never dreamed that they can do, it’s great. Personally, a lot of people helped me as I grew up, so I wanted to help kids.”

Ruettiger was the state’s first four-time state champion in wrestling while at Providence and then enjoyed a successful career at Eastern Illinois University before returning to the area to coach.

After a long and successful

Coming from a close-knit family of 14 kids, Ruettiger knows all too well about having a great support system.

He’s competed with and been coached by some of the best and he’s especially proud of his wrestlers who have followed him into coaching.

“It’s absolutely humbling

being part of a group like this,” Ruettiger said. “Every one of them is deserving of being a part of the hall of fame, and I’m just glad to be in that same company. I’m very happy.

“This is probably the biggest honor that I’ve had so far, and I don’t know if there will be another one bigger because it’s from the people around you who grew up with you.

That’s really what makes it so

special.”

Bromberek turned in one of the greatest performances in the history of the IHSA boys track and field meet when he claimed three firsts and narrowly missed another title to score 38 points by himself and help Lemont to a second-place finish in 2000.

After completing his successful career at the Air Force Academy, Bromberek has had time to reflect on what he

accomplished, thanks to the efforts of so many different individuals.

“When you read the stories and the things that the other inductees did and the amount of history in each one of the individuals in this class, I thought that I don’t fit since I’m just one guy who had a good weekend,” Bromberek said.

Rose said. “I’m really working on becoming more of a forward, guarding better and improving my outside shot.

With Claire, Anna and I, we have some great length, which will be tough to guard. I will get more of an opportunity to play a different game and need to be ready.”

McMahon missed the Morris event because of summer work responsibilities.

“Gaining experience playing with each other is a key for me,” Power said. “The summer is really fun. Coach is really low-key and lets us handle a lot of things so that we can learn from it. I just want to keep improving at all phases of my game for the team.”

Quinn Madden again will

be one of the guards for the Griffins. The 5-9 senior is looking forward to a successful senior year.

“After the season and success from last year, we are looking forward to this upcoming year,” Madden said.

“This is a time to get that chemistry back. We all play on travel teams and haven’t been together much, so summer ball is important.

“I’m really working on my communication with everyone, playing under more control and being a leader. For a lot of us, this we will be that last year we play together and we want it to be a great time and experience.”

Junior guards Sam Nair and Haley Papoccia are working on individual skills that

will translate into playing time.

“I’m really working on my ball handling skills and having the confidence to shoot more,” Nair said.

Papoccia added, “The experience and doing a better job of executing on the floor are keys to the summer.”

Martin summed up what the summer season means.

“We have the ability,” he said. “The summer has been good so far. It has been very positive. We are not really teaching anything new, just working on the little things that can make a difference.

“I know they are all playing and summer is a time for family vacations. This is a great group of girls and I’m looking forward to the season.”

Gibson played in NFL for nine years after Notre Dame career • HALL Continued from page 44 “But my dad told me to look at everything that I did up to that and after that. And then it’s like, ‘OK, I think I could be in there.’ Special isn’t even the word for how I feel. To be mentioned along with some of the greats culminates everything.”

Gibson transformed himself from a kid who struggled to make the team in junior high to becoming the national defensive player of the year while at Romeoville. After his career at Notre Dame, he went on to play in the National Football League for nine years.

Because of the efforts of many individuals at Romeoville, as well as support from people in Joliet, Gibson stayed focused on his goals. He hopes to get the opportunity to lead the football program at his old high school in order to help others to achieve special things.

“This is one of the biggest honors that I’ve ever had,” Gibson said. “I’ve always gotten a lot of love from the Joliet area. I‘ve had a lot of honors nationally, but when I was in high school and made the Joliet all-area team, that was important to me because that was

“I’ll still probably be enjoying this a year from now because I’ve never been enshrined in anything. They asked me if I had any memorabilia and I said I’d bring in my whole closet if you put it up.”

And few have been more associated with Joliet than Sullivan, who played at Jo-

liet Catholic and Lewis. After starting his coaching career at Providence, Sullivan went on to a 35-year career at St. Francis, where he was coach, athletic director and athletic chairman.

One of the brightest basketball minds to ever come from this area, Sullivan is proud to join his other south side Joliet

honorees, as well as his coach, Gordie Gillespie, in the hall as someone recognized as being among the most important sports figures from Joliet.

“I‘m really humbled,” Sullivan said. “Having been in Joliet all of my life, I’m aware of what the people that are in the hall of fame did. I think it’s extraordinary that an area of this

size has had so much success in athletics, it’s almost mindboggling.

“You can try to articulate it, but you can’t. It’s the best. I’m 71 now, so I have a pretty good feel for the history of sports in our area. And when people think that maybe you made a small contribution, it’s very, very special.”

MORRIS – With experience and size as the key ingredients for Lincoln-Way East’s girls basketball team, the summer is a time to work on playing together as a team and working on the little things that make a team a success.

The Griffins finished the 2014-15 season 18-10 overall and 10-4 in the SouthWest Suburban Conference Blue. Coach Jim Martin is looking to instill that positive mental attitude over the summer with all five starters returning.

“This summer, we are really working on becoming more composed, not let the little things frustrate you,” he said during last week’s Morris

Shootout.

“We are focusing on playing together as a team. We all talk about team and family.

Sometimes kids get too hard on themselves. Just keep your composure, if a mistake is made, just move on. It happens and we learn from it.

“We will be a big team, height-wise, which will give us some great match-up opportunities on the offensive end, and we will be tough defensively.”

The size will come from 6-foot-2 seniors Claire McMahon and Anna Rose. Throw in 6-0 junior Anna Power, and the Griffins have one of the tallest front lines in the area.

“The summer is really helping us build more team chemistry and play together,”

Just imagine when Bears win it all again This Stanley Cup championship run by the Blackhawks has been the best of their recent trilogy, and it got me to thinking: What will it be like in Chicago when the Bears win their next Super Bowl?

NHL titles in 2010 and 2013 were just as much fun, but what intrigues me about this Hawks team is that, like the ’85 Bears, they may be one of the best ever – in history, not just Chicago.

Four of what we’ve taken to calling the core seven from all three Cup teams – Marian Hossa, Duncan Keith, Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane – are ticketed for the Hall of Fame, so all three Cup winners have that in common.

But the blossoming of Brandon Saad, Andrew Shaw, Marcus Kruger and Corey Crawford in full, and the addition of all-star-type talent in Brad Richards and Antoine Vermette made this one of the best hockey teams ever.

Sure Nashville, Anaheim

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush

More online For more Bears and NFL coverage, visit ChicagoFootball.com. and Tampa Bay were all tough, and yes, the Tampa Bay series was remarkably close, but consider this: The Lightning finished the playoffs 14-12, barely above .500, while the Hawks were 16-7, and that included their first three series in the West, clearly the tougher and superior conference, and the Hawks’ two best games of the playoffs were games seven against Anaheim and six against Tampa.

In reality it wasn’t as close as folks want to believe, these Hawks are one of the best

ever.

That is why fans lined the streets of the city Thursday to cheer the Hawks on their way to a jam-packed Soldier Field to celebrate their champions.

It’s also why children, young adults, parents and grandparents alike have spent the past week or two with perpetual smiles and an extra little jump in their step.

It’s always great to be the champ, but it’s even better to be special.

So how many of you reading this were alive Jan. 27, 1986? And for those of you who were, how many remember the parade and celebration that took place when the Bears last won the Super Bowl?

Like these Hawks, that team boasted four future Hall of Famers in Walter Payton, Dan Hampton, Mike Singletary and Richard Dent, and you can throw in Mike Ditka to boot.

Thirty years later they are still talked about as the greatest team in the history of the

CUBS 4, TWINS 1 (10 INN.)

game for a single season.

And that celebration made these Hawks parties seem a bit like afternoon tea.

Chicago should be proud, as it is now clearly “Hockey Town” regardless of what our little brothers to the North in Detroit want to claim.

But the NHL isn’t the NFL and as much and as deeply as we love them, and we do, the Hawks aren’t the Bears.

On the day after the ’85 Bears beat the at-the-time little known New England Patriots, 46-10, to claim their first Super Bowl, the temperature in Chicago was below zero and the wind chill measured 32 below.

Yet less than 20 hours after the final gun of that championship game, a crowd of more than a half million jammed the loop to welcome the Bears home from New Orleans.

In inhumane and life-threatening conditions, it seemed as if the entire city turned out to celebrate the Bears.

Super Bowl XX was the

most watched TV broadcast of any kind – sports, news, entertainment, series finale, etc. – and it remained that way for more than two decades.

Forget Sports Illustrated, those Bears graced the covers of Time, Newsweek, the Wall Street Journal and any publication fit to print.

It was a celebration unlike any the city had seen before or any that has come since.

These three Hawks Cup runs have given me and my family some of the greatest fun we’ve ever shared, and we cannot celebrate this team enough.

But oh, for one more Bears Super Bowl. It’s hard to even imagine what that might look like.

Hopefully, the Hawks have got the boys in navy and orange dreaming about it every night.

WHITE SOX 3, RANGERS 2

Castro lifts Cubs past Twins Rodon, Sox end 8-game skid

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS – Starlin Castro walked out of Target Field on Friday night with his head hanging following another rough day at shortstop.

Less than 24 hours later, he was feeling a lot better.

Castro atoned for a costly error the previous night with a two-run single in the 10th inning Saturday, helping the Cubs to a 4-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins.

Castro’s error and subsequent pouting at shortstop in the first inning Friday night got the Twins rolling to a 7-2 victory. But he ripped a one-out pitch from Blaine Boyer (2-3) into center field to break a 1-all tie, and then made a leaping grab of a liner from Brian Dozier for the final out of the game.

“Every day is a new day,” Castro said. “Try to keep it going, keep the head up and try to help the team win.”

Jon Lester allowed one run in 6⅓ innings for the Cubs, and Anthony Rizzo had two hits and an RBI. Jason Motte (4-1) pitched a scoreless inning for the win and Hector Rondon picked up his 12th save in 15 chances.

The Cubs improved to 7-3 in extra-inning games this season.

Trevor May gave up one run in six innings for Minnesota, which had won three in a row. Kurt Suzuki connected for his third homer.

Cubs manager Joe Maddon said before the game he was not considering a position change for Castro, who has 14 errors this season. He compounded his latest one Friday when he was sulking after the ball went right through his legs. He retrieved the ball and stared at it in frustration while Eddie Rosario hustled home, prompting an incredulous look from starter Kyle Hendricks.

Castro apologized after the game and took the blame for the loss, then looked to be pressing early Saturday.

He singled off May in the fourth, but slammed his bat in frustration after striking out in the sixth.

“I know I’m better than that,” Castro said. “Keep my focus all game and try to make every play.”

He got another chance in the 10th and delivered, pumping his fist and shouting at first base. Chris Denorfia followed two batters later with an RBI single for a little more breathing room.

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – The White Sox mustered just enough offense and their bullpen hung on for the team’s first victory in 10 days.

And afterward, music blared in the locker room.

Carlos Rodon pitched six effective innings and the Sox snapped a season-worst eight-game losing streak, beating the Texas Rangers, 3-2, on Saturday.

The Sox scored more than two runs for the first time in seven games. Adam Eaton had two singles and scored a run.

“With this lineup, it’s tough to go out there and consistently not score runs, which is what we’ve been doing,” designated hitter Adam LaRoche said.

“Great to finally break that streak. It was getting pretty frustrating there, to say the least.”

Rodon (3-1) gave up two runs and four hits, striking out five and walking three. The rookie bounced back after giving up seven runs in 3⅔ innings to Pittsburgh in his last start.

“You just have to forget about it, put it behind you,” Rodon said.

David Robertson pitched the ninth

for his 14th save in 18 chances and was able to redeem himself. On Friday night, he allowed two runs in the ninth inning of a 2-1 loss to the Rangers.

“As a reliever, you are going to get opportunities. You are not always going to be good in them,” Robertson said.

“You have to be able to push them to the back of your mind and go into the next day.”

The Sox avoided losing nine consecutive games for the first time since 2013.

“You can only feel good about it for a little while and you get back after it,” Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “You have to be able to continue momentum with it, but there’s a game tomorrow.”

Sox relievers Zach Putnam and Zach Duke combined to strike out five straight during the seventh and eighth innings.

“They were filthy and got the job done,” Robertson said. “Thankfully, I was able to hold it down.”

The struggling Sox offense caught a break in the third. After three straight singles, LaRoche’s sacrifice fly put them ahead. Melky Cabrera was hit by a pitch to load the bases before Alexei Ramirez hit a groundball that bounced past shortstop Elvis Andrus for an error to allow two runs to score.

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press UNIVERSITY PLACE, Wash. – One day after he collapsed from a bout of vertigo, Jason Day was standing taller than ever Saturday in the U.S. Open.

When the medication began to wear off and the vertigo returned, Day fought his way to the finish with a 31 on the back nine for a 2-under-par 68. He wound up in a fourway tie for the lead with Masters champion Jordan Spieth, Dustin Johnson and Branden Grace of South Africa.

Day felt nauseous over the final hour.

He had to steady himself to stick a tee in the ground and pluck a ball out of the cup. And he considered quitting three times.

Good thing he didn’t.

The 27-year-old Australian is playing in the final group of a major for the first time.

“That was the greatest round I’ve ever watched,” said Colin Swatton, his caddie and longtime coach who whispered words of encouragement along the hilly terrain of Chambers Bay. “I said, ‘You’ve got the heart of a lion. You get to show the world today you get to be the greatest you can be and look, let’s do it.’ And he just put his head down and kept walking, one foot in front of the other. It was pretty impressive.”

Day steadied himself with a performance that brought to mind Ken Venturi winning the U.S. Open at Congressional in 1964 with a 36-hole final while suffering from heat exhaustion and severe dehydration, and Tiger Woods winning the U.S. Open at Torrey

Pines in 2008 with a shattered left leg.

Day still has one day to go and a course that is getting faster and scarier by the day.

And he has plenty of company.

Spieth, trying to become only the fourth player since 1960 to win the first two legs of the Grand Slam, squandered three birdie chances late in his round and had to settle for a 71. Johnson twice smashed driver that set him up for birdies down the stretch, and he couldn’t convert in his round of 70.

Grace overcame a rough patch in the middle of his round – three bogeys in five holes – and shot a 70.

Day wasn’t sure he would even play in the third round. He collapsed to the ground Friday in a frightening moment. He managed to get up with help, stagger into a bunker to play his next shot and made bogey to finish three shots out of the lead.

And then he delivered one of his best rounds considering the situation.

Day chose not to speak to the media out of sheer exhaustion. He offered a few comments to a USGA official, and then headed to his motor home to lie down.

“I didn’t feel that great coming out early,” said Day, who dropped two shots in his opening four holes to fall as many as seven shots behind at one point. “I felt pretty groggy on the front nine just from the drugs that I had in my system, then kind of flushed that out on the back nine. The vertigo came back a little bit on the 13th tee box, and then felt nauseous all day. I started shaking on 16 tee box and then just tried to get it in, really.

Just wanted to get it in.”

Joliet man opens home to orphans

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

J

OLIET – Kiel Twietmeyer recalled the day his wife Carolyn called him at work and said, “Babe, I’ve found the picture of our kids.”

Twietmeyer figured Carolyn had lost a treasured photograph and had recovered it. Then he had the shock that changed his life.

The photo was a picture of three Ethiopian siblings.

The middle child, age 5, was HIV-positive. This did not sync with the adoption he and Carolyn had envisioned – a little Indian girl with a club foot. The thought of bringing an HIV-positive child into his home terrified him.

“For the first time in our marriage, we were completely opposite,” Twietmeyer said.

That was in 2006. Today, Twietmeyer and Carolyn are the parents of Matthew, 25; Andarge, 23; Kylie, 22; Brendan, 21; Sarah, 20; Rachel, 18; Ethan, 18; Selah, 17; Gracie, 15; Samuel, 13; Hank, 13; Daniel, 10; Isaac, 9; Seth, 9; and Sofia, 4.

The Twietmeyers run a home-based business, homeschool their children and oversee the nonprofit they founded – Project Hopeful – to ease the adoption process of difficult-to-place children.

In a Facebook message from an orphanage in Guatemala – one of many initiatives run through Project Hopeful – Carolyn said Kiel leads by example, is full of contagious hope, has a grip on God’s grace and is a true father to anyone that needs him, regardless of age, race and history.

“He’s blind to anything but the need and he is quick to respond,” Carolyn said. “He is first to admit imperfection, but I can say he is the greatest example of the embodiment of love that I have ever known on

ed wait times for HIV-positive people entering the United States, Twietmeyer said.

Through a friend of friend of a friend who knew someone in Homeland Security, Twietmeyer said the wait time was reduced from an additional six to nine months after the adoption to 11 days. The children “came home” in 2007, and Twietmeyer assumed his family was complete.

Expanding the family

But in 2008, Twietmeyer and Carolyn adopted a little girl with full-blown AIDS. She was 11, weighed 32 pounds, and was not allowed to fly because her hemoglobin was dangerously low.

Doctors told the Twietmeyers, “We don’t waste blood on AIDS patient,” but that didn’t Photos by Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com Kiel Twietmeyer, father of 15 kids, cuts up cantaloupe for five of his children Monday at his home in Joliet. daunt this couple.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Try to think outside the deck

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Natalie Goldberg, who has published two successful books about the art of writing and has studied Zen Buddhism in depth, said, “Creativity exists in the present moment. You can’t find it anywhere else.”

That is true, although one can also recall creativity from the past. In today’s deal, East needs to be creative.

South is in three no-trump. West leads the club five, fourth-highest from his longest and strongest. South wins the trick with his king and runs the diamond seven to East’s queen. What should East do next?

Many players would immediately lead back the club four – return partner’s suit. Here, though, South takes the trick and plays another diamond to assure his contract. When West is in with his diamond ace, if he shifts to a heart, declarer plays low from the dummy.

First, East should tally the highcard points. The dummy has 10, East holds nine and South has 15-17. That leaves only 4-6 for West. Also, East should realize that if South had the diamond ace, he would have cashed that card before taking the diamond finesse. So, playing back a club cannot work.

Instead, East should set his sights on three hearts and two diamonds.

But if he makes the “normal” lead of the heart queen, the contract still succeeds. East must think outside the deck and shift to his heart two.

South takes the trick and drives out West’s diamond ace, but as long as West now leads his remaining heart, the defenders defeat the contract.

Slow down your play and consider all of the possibilities.

Dear Dr. K: Why are

Red-Green Colorblindness. In the most common

type of colorblindness, people cannot distinguish green from red. That is, some people see red objects as being green, and other people see green objects as being red. It occurs when either the red or green cone cells are missing or are not working properly.

Blue-Yellow Colorblindness. This occurs

when blue cone cells are missing or not working properly. People with this type of colorblindness see blue as green and may

find it difficult to distinguish yellow or red from pink.

Complete Colorblindness. True colorblindness

is when everything appears in shades of black, gray and white. It occurs when none or only one type of cone cell works properly.

In the United States, about 7 percent of men and 0.4 percent of women have red-green color blindness. In other words, more than 10 times as many men as women are colorblind. Why is this?

It’s because the genes defective in colorblindness are located on the X chromosome.

Women have two X chromosomes. So even if they inherit one X chromosome for colorblindness, they won’t have colorblindness. The normal color genes on the other X chromosome compensate for the defective genes on their first X chromosome.

Unlike women, men have only one X chromosome. So if their X chromosome contains defective color genes, they will be colorblind.

Inherited colorblindness cannot be fixed. But special corrective lenses can help people with redgreen colorblindness to see color more accurately.

And smartphone apps (for Apple or Android) can help to identify color and shades of color. Here’s how they work: Suppose a sign has red letters on a green background. The phone recognizes this, and changes the red letters to a color that a colorblind person can see on a green background.

some people colorblind?

Dear Reader: People who are colorblind are unable to see colors the way most people do. True colorblindness, in which everything appears black, gray or white, is very rare. More often, colorblind people have trouble distinguishing colors from one another.

Light that enters our eyes is focused by the lens to fall on the back of the eye â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the retina.

Within the retina are 7 million cone cells. These specialized cells contain chemicals, called photopigments, that react to different wavelengths in light. The color of light is determined by its wavelength. Photopigments respond to blue, green or red light. Colorblindness occurs when the eye either lacks certain photopigments, or when these pigments do not work as they should.

Most people who are colorblind inherit the condition. Rarely, a condition that develops later in life causes colorblindness. Most people who inherit the condition are not even aware of it until another person questions their ability to identify color. Sometimes colorblindness is revealed only during color vision testing.

Symptoms of colorblindness depend on the type of cone cells affected:

– On A Slippery Slope In New Hampshire Dear Slippery: I don’t think

Pearls Before Swine

The Argyle Sweater

Real Life Adventures

anyone is accusing you of having done anything “wrong.”

When young men and women are attracted to each other, the relationship rarely stays static. The concern may be an innocent kiss on the cheek may lead to something more.

That your friend’s parents approve of you seeing their daughter is a plus. However, if you become sexually involved with their daughter, their feelings could easily change.

While you might not be in trouble with the law in New Hampshire – which may calm your mother’s fears – the age of consent isn’t the same in every state.

Dear Abby: I was married 13 years ago, and we have a son and a daughter. Sadly, my husband decided he didn’t want to be married anymore and we divorced five years ago. My parents also divorced when I was young, and I did not use my mother’s dress.

I am trying to move on from the divorce and I would like to sell the dress, which has been professionally preserved.

My ex remarried, and I’m concerned his new wife may decide to pass on her dress to my daughter. Do mothers still pass down wedding dresses to their daughters? – Former

Bride In New York Dear Former: Not every

young woman wants to wear her mother’s or grandmother’s wedding dress. Their tastes may be different, and there also could be the reality the sizes may be different. If selling

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips the dress will help you to move on, then by all means do so.

And, please, don’t waste your time worrying about whether the new wife will steal your thunder by offering your daughter her bridal gown. For the reasons stated above, she might very well refuse it.

Dear Abby:I incurred a big mortgage two years ago by choice. As a result of the larger payments, I have had little discretionary income to spend.

Both of my parents went into the hospital recently. Fortunately, they were discharged after only a few days. My sister has now decided we should all go on a family vacation, mainly because we don’t know how much longer our parents will be alive.

I am all for going on a family vacation, but the one she wants will cost more than $7,000 for my family of four.

When I told her I can’t afford it, she laid a heavy guilt trip on me. She said I made a bad mistake incurring a big debt, and accused me of not caring about my parents. It has gotten so bad I don’t want to talk to her anymore because she will continue to harp on it. What should I do? – Frustrated In

British Columbia Dear Frustrated: You’re handling this about as well as can be expected. The debt already has been incurred. Because of your current financial obligations, you can’t afford the vacation your sister has in mind. Either Sissy will have to plan something more affordable, or your family will be unable to participate.

That’s reality.

Dear Readers: Allow me to wish a Happy Father’s Day to fathers everywhere – birth fathers, stepfathers, adoptive and foster fathers, grandfathers, and all of those caring men who mentor children and fill the role of absent dads. I applaud you all. – Love, Abby

• Write to Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

• Sunday, June 21, 2015

Dear Abby: I am 19, and I like a girl who is 16, “Cheri.”

My friends and family think we’re dating, and now one of my teachers and the school officer think it is a problem we are around each other. I asked Cheri’s family if it was OK with them if I asked her out.

Knowing how old I am, they approved.

My mom says I can be arrested for statutory rape when all I did was give her a kiss on her cheek, and Cheri was fine with it. I really like her and she means the world to me. Is there anything I can use in my defense to prove that we didn’t do anything wrong?
