24-year-old Wheaton resident, who was missing since Sunday, recovered

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The body of a Wheaton woman missing since Sunday in the Illinois River near Morris was recovered Wednesday.

The woman was identified by authorities for the first time Wednesday as Emily A. Hendricks, 24.

“I spoke to her father Wednesday morning and he said he just wanted to find her so they could move on to the next step,” Morris Fire Chief Tracey Steffes said. “It’s a tragic outcome, but hopefully this will help her family to move on to the next step.”

Search crews had been

from the Dresden Dam,” Steffes said. “That is about 3.5 miles west of Morris.”

Steffes said Hendricks was found in an area where a section of the river bends and another smaller section goes around an island.

He said conditions of the river – which had gone over flood stage because of rain from the weekend – improved

by Wednesday. Crews thought it was the best chance they had to find her, so they put all of their efforts into the search, Steffes said.

Hendricks was one of four people on a Bayliner pleasure craft that became lodged at 3:27 p.m. Sunday in the Dresden Dam east of Morris on the

Illinois River.

The Coal City Fire Department rescued one person from the boat, and two others were rescued from the water by another pleasure craft. All were transported to Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers by ambulance, according to authorities. They were treated and later released.

The search Wednesday started at about 9 a.m. Three boats started near the Seneca bridge and worked their way back towards Stratton Park in Morris. Another boat was sent with a search dog from Search and Rescue Dogs of Illinois to look along the shoreline between the dam and Stratton Park in Morris.

This image released by Joliet Police shows the man they believed robbed the BMO Harris Bank, 2251 Route 59, on Wednesday.

Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said Malik Tribblet, 21, arrived to pay a traffic fine at 1:10 p.m. and set his backpack on the X-ray screening machine to pass through a security checkpoint.

Hoffmeyer said a security guard detained Tribblet and called deputies.

“Tribblet stated he inadvertently brought his 9-millimeter

Glock with him to the courthouse,” Hoffmeyer said. The firearm was not loaded, but one loaded magazine and another containing five dummy rounds also were found in the backpack, according to Hoffmeyer.

Tribblet, who had a valid firearm owner’s identification card, was arrested on a charge of unlawful use of a weapon and booked into the county jail.

Brothers plan to open retro pinball arcade in Joliet this summer

By BILL WIMBISCUS

New businesses in downtown Joliet

bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A pair of entrepreneurial wizards are about to transform a vacant downtown building into a pinball arcade, their first step in a quest to create a family entertainment mecca on the Chicago Street corridor.

Matt and Chris Czarnowski, part of The Steelman Group that owns three buildings in downtown Joliet, plan to launch Chicago Street Pinball Arcade at 215 N. Chicago St. this summer.

The business will feature 25 to 30 vintage pinball machines, as well as a few 1990s video arcade games and an electro-mechanical driving machine.

“It’s nostalgic for people who played in the 1970s and ’80s when arcades were in their heydays,” said Chris Czarnowski, the sibling who focuses more on the property development end of the business. “Plus, it’s fun for younger people who’ve only played on home consoles and smart devices.”

The brothers see this modest start as an opportunity to gauge public interest in downtown entertainment.

“This is a proof of concept to see how the public takes to the idea,” Chris Czarnowski said.

“We decided let’s open a pinball arcade and we’ll get a chance to talk to people and see what they want.”

If the venture takes off, the Czarnowskis could move into the bonus round. The Steelman Group owns a larger building at 9 W. Cass St. that it would like to develop as a family entertainment venue.

“We’ve talked to someone who owns a restaurant,” Chris Czarnowski said. “And someone who runs indoor mini golfing for the upper level. We’ve even talked to someone about laser tag.”

Ripe environment for development The Czarnowskis see down-

• Blue Taco, 79 N. Chicago St. • Sue Regis Glass Art Studio, 81 N. Chicago St. • Marsha Lega, 81 N. Chicago St. • Allstate Insurance office, 167 N. Chicago St. • Elevtech (Elevator call center), Chicago St., Crystal Square Building, second floor • Cutler Eye Care Center, 358 E. Cass St.

Pinball machines sit inside a classic pinball arcade at 215 N. Chicago St. in Joliet by Mark Czarnowski.

Czarnowski hopes to have the arcade, which is operating with the working title of Chicago Street Pinball Arcade, open by early- to mid-July. town Joliet, with its gritty urban feel and historic architecture, as a ripe environment for development.

They’ve already begun developing the Crystal Square Office, 81 N. Chicago St., where they brought in The Blue Taco, Regis Glass Art and Marsha Lega Studio. They see these types of artsy, avante-garde businesses as a perfect downtown fit.

“We want to be the pioneers, and we see good potential with the two colleges down there,” Chris Czarnowski said.

“There’s a lot of catalysts for cool things to happen,” he said, such as Lockdown Bar & Grill, a heavy metal-themed restaurant patterned after its parent restaurant in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, which is scheduled to open later this year at Chicago and Cass streets.

It’s this kind of development that gets Pam Owens, director of Joliet City Center Partnership, very excited. “[The Czarnowskis] are real

go-getters and they have a really great vision,” Owens said.

“The guys doing our downtown plan are seeing the same thing.

They are saying Joliet has a vibe. It’s not a white-bread community. A lot of towns have become very sterile, but Joliet has maintained its unique character.”

Mayor Tom Giarrante sees The Steelman Group as a new wave in downtown development.

“I think they’re ahead of the trend,” Giarrante said. “I think they can see what’s happening downtown and they want to get in now before interest peaks.

Once the transportation center and the Joliet Junior College [downtown campus center] are there, there’s no question that the cost of property and rentals will go up.”

‘Barcades’ are trending But for the arcade to succeed, it’s all about getting people to play that silver ball.

Mark Czarnowski is the brother who handles the ma-

chine side of the development.

An avid collector, he crossed over from video arcade consoles to vintage pinball machines several years ago.

His favorites are games such as Taxi, Black Knight 2000 and Dr. Dude, the Williams Electronics machines from 1985 to 1990 that offered a sophistication in play never before seen in the industry.

“That era of games is really popular with a lot of people,” Mark Czarnowski said. “Starting in 1985, the games got a lot more complex, with multiple balls, and synthesized music, not just beeps and chimes.

“They were fun and fast to play. The rules were very simple. You’d hit the shot ‘X’ number of times to lock a ball. Once you locked one or two balls, it started the multiball. Then you’d hit the shot lit for jackpot, unleashing crazy lighting effects and music.

“Once you got to the ’90s they got seriously more complex, with rule set stacked upon rule set stacked upon rule set,

and wizard modes or final challenges. None of this stuff exists with the older games.”

The arcade will include several of the vintage pinball machines, as well as a few of the older electro-mechanical models, he said. He hopes the pinball machines, and vintage video arcade consoles, including the popular “Ms. Pac-Man,” will attract a steady clientele to the site.

The arcade initially will be open 3 p.m. to midnight Fridays and Saturdays, expanding to 3 to 10 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday if demand warrants.

“The whole ‘barcade’ thing is definitely trending in the past few years,” Mark Czarnowski said. “People love to come out and play retro games and drink.”

The arcade initially will offer only vending machine dispensed soft drinks and snacks, although a bar, pool tables and even a restaurant could come later.

“We definitely want to move in that direction,” Mark Czarnowski said. “There’s nothing else like it around here.”

The brothers said news of the arcade’s imminent opening has generated a lot of interest, and that they’ve already received several calls from people interested in booking the venue for parties.

Special Olympics athletes come back winners

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com Local athletes who competed in the 2014 Special Olympics USA Games got lots of cheers, a boost in confidence and several medals.

Allison Leehaug, Rikki Kirsch, Jason Akbar and Johnny Riley joined Team Illinois and tested their skills against thousands of other athletes in New Jersey last week.

Leehaug and Kirsch won several medals and ribbons in the competitions they were in. Akbar of Joliet and Riley of Lockport on gold in the volleyball competition.

In most of the competitions they were in, Kirsch of Shorewood and Leehaug of Frankfort came out on top with gold medals. But the experience of being in the games themselves proved transformative.

It’s seeing the changes in Kirsch before and after the games that will resonate the most with her family, said her mother, Chris Kirsch. She saw her daughter, who competed in various swimming competitions, become more mature and confident.

“She hasn’t quit smiling,” Chris Kirsch said.

Kirsch won gold for the 50yard freestyle swim and 4x25 yard Medley relay. She also won fifth place in the 25-yard

Allison Leehaug, who competed in the pentathlon and several other contests, said she is changed person as a result of being in the games as well. She recalled everyone being upbeat and cheerful, whether it was her or the other athletes on the stage.

“The friends I made and the people I met and all the excitement, I will have these friends for the rest of my life,” she said.

Leehaug managed to win gold for the 4x100 meter relay and bronze for the pentathlon.

Leehaug said she was ner-

vous when she competed. Although some of the bigger competitions were harder, she tried her hardest to win. But she also tried to remember to have a good time and enjoy her time being with the other athletes.

Rikki Kirsch said her experience at the games was fun.

“She’s competitive to a certain degree, but she’s always proud of her accomplishments,” Chris Kirsch said.

The Special Olympics is meant to showcase the athletic talents of people with disabilities. Leehaug’s father, Ross Leehaug said everyone should try to attend the games as it is an amazing experience. Her

Elwood prefers railroad underpass, not overpass

By MARY BASKERVILLE Shaw Media Correspondent ELWOOD – Village officials don’t see a grade separation as an answer to problems at a hazardous railroad crossing, Elwood’s public works director said this week.

But if one has to be built, they want it underground.

The Union Pacific crossing at Walter Strawn Drive, along with a federal lawsuit and Illinois Commerce Commission hearing on the issue, were top-

ics at an Elwood Planning and Zoning Commission meeting held Tuesday.

The gates at the railroad crossing were crashed about 50 times in 2013. Elwood put up concrete barriers near Walter Strawn Drive last month to detour semitrailer traffic. Two weeks into the detour, CenterPoint Properties and other parties filed a federal lawsuit against the village, alleging the move violated federal law and created unsafe road conditions.

The ICC hearing is set to

continue Monday, and both the village and Union Pacific have been working on possible solutions before the hearing.

One possibility is building a railroad overpass, which would eliminate the need for a crossing.

Michael Scotti, attorney for CenterPoint Properties, said last week that his client, Union Pacific and the Illinois Commerce Commission consider the construction of a railroad overpass as a viable long-term solution.

Public Works Director Max Bosso said the village does not favor a grade separation, because it would likely lead to more trucks coming through the area.

But if a grade separation is the answer, Bosso said, “We would like it underground.”

He said an underground passing would mean less noise and would be better for the downtown area, because the length of the trains would require an underpass also go under Mississippi and Hoff roads.

Bosso and Village Administrator Nick Narducci also spoke of the possibility that if a grade separation is constructed, there are some plans to make Illinois Route 53 six lanes from Hoff Road to a connection with the proposed Illiana Expressway to the south. Bosso said the plan is not widely known, but is included in the Tier Two review by the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Plainfield man named Disabled Veteran of the Year ognition,” Vargas said of Daugharty. “But when you have a veteran who commits like Jim, I have to do it.”

On Wednesday morning, Jim called Vargas and told him about the need to get a veteran down to Edward Hines Jr. VA Hospital to take some medical exams because the veteran’s wife couldn’t drive.

“Jim just helps out in any way he can,” Vargas said.

Daugharty served from 1967 to 1968 in the Vietnam

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – About 20 years ago Vietnam War veteran Jim Daugharty tried to get his U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs benefits, but the people who worked in the Chicago office wouldn’t clear him.

It wasn’t until he met a service officer from Disabled American Veterans 12 years later when he got the assistance he needed to deal with a traumatic brain injury and three back surgeries.

At that point, he decided to help other veterans in his situation.

“It took me 12 years,” said Daugharty, a Plainfield resident. “I just wanted to get veterans the assistance they need where the VA doesn’t help.”

On Wednesday night Daugharty was presented with the Illinois DAV Service Officer of the Year and Disabled Veteran of the Year awards at a DAV Chapter 103 meeting for his nine years of service to veterans around the country.

“If anyone is as deserving of this award it’s Jim,” said Lou Vargas, commander of

War. He was part of the 25th Infantry serving roles as sergeant gunner and section chief for the 6th of the 77th Field Artillery.

He said explosions had caused trauma to his brain.

Because of the initial lack of help he received from the VA, he decided to help veterans fight to get their rightfully owed benefits.

“If there’s a veteran or family member or spouse that needs help, I’ll be there,” Daugharty said.

Daugharty also won the DAV Illinois Veteran of the Year award.

DAV Chapter 103. “There’s never a veteran I’ve seen who works as hard as him.”

Over nine years as a service officer for Chapter 103 in New Lenox and Chapter 17 in Hammond, Indiana, Daugharty has helped about 600 veterans or family members with their benefits claims.

The Chicago chapter was hoping to make Daugharty a national service officer, but

he refused because he wanted to help the local DAV, Vargas said.

Vargas attended a DAV state convention in Springfield and accepted the awards on behalf of Daugharty. He kept Daugharty in the dark about the awards to surprise him at the Wednesday night meeting at the VFW Post 9545 building in New Lenox.

WILL COUNTY

LOCAL BRIEF

New budget director named

Former principal honored

by District 202

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Will County has added to its finance team by hiring ReShawn Howard, 42, of Shorewood to serve in the newly created position of budget director.

The full County Board approved the hire at its June 19 meeting.

“This is an exciting ReShawn time for Will Howard County. It’s one of the fasting-growing [counties],” Howard said. “I’m really looking forward to working with this team.”

Howard said she will draw on past work experience – including her time as a finance consultant for Exelon Corporation in Chicago – to help her make

the transition to working in the county’s finance department. Before that, she worked as a finance consultant in the private sector for a variety of industries.

Howard’s annual salary is $75,000, said Karen Hennessy, who will serve alongside Howard in the recently redefined role of finance director. Hennessy had been serving in the role of finance director on an interim basis since November, when longtime director Paul Rafac resigned to take a job with DuPage County.

Hennessy has an annual salary of $89,000. Both positions will be funded within the constraints of the existing budget, according to a news release from Will County.

Howard will be responsible for developing and monitoring the county’s annual budget and long-term capi-

tal planning. Hennessy will be in charge of day-to-day financial operations, the outside audit, and preparation of the county’s annual financial report.

Hennessy said she previously oversaw all of those duties as interim finance director, noting it “makes sense” to split those responsibilities into two roles: budget director and finance director.

“The budget is getting more and more complicated,” Hennessy said. “And, right now, the county is in the midst of a lot of capital projects. We needed someone to help out with the long-term capital planning, and how we plan to fit that into our budget.”

Will County Executive Larry Walsh created the new role because of the county’s growing population and a greater need for long-term capital planning,

according to the news release.

“We have had great success in managing lean budgets in tough economic times,” Walsh said in the news release. “We will build on these successful efforts by expanding our focus to include a more detailed five-year road and capital project budget and a projected multi-year operational budget. Will County is expected to exceed one million people in the not too distant future and we must continue to plan proactively for that growth.”

About 20 individuals submitted resumes for the position, Hennessy said.

She and Nick Palmer, the county executive’s chief of staff, conducted interviews this spring.

Hennessy said she looks forward to working with Howard, who started this week.

Retiring Crystal Lawns Elementary School Principal Kathy Baxter was presented with the 2014 Walter G. and Juanita F. Niehus award at Monday’s Plainfield District 202 school board meeting, according to a news release.

Baxter, the 29th recipient of the annual award, served in teaching and administrative roles at Crystal Lawns for 40 years. She also recently won the Elizabeth “Bess” Eichelberger Distinguished Service Award.

The award is given by the Plainfield Foundation for Excellence on behalf of the Niehus Family. It honors former district Superintendent Walter Niehus and his wife and former teacher Juanita by awarding one certified personnel or non-certified staff or support staff members.

“Dr. Baxter’s dedication to her students, Crystal Lawns and District 202 is exemplary and certainly worthy of recognition,” Foundation Chairperson Margie Bonuchi said in the release.

“We are very happy to honor her on behalf of the Niehus family.”

JOLIET – A judge decided Wednesday police should not have arrested a Crest Hill man two days after his 89-year-old neighbor’s murder in 2012.

“I don’t understand why police acted so fast,” Judge Robert Livas said while ruling the officers on the Will-Grundy Major Crimes Task Force did not show probable cause to take Bruce Gempel into custody for the slaying of Dorothy Dumyahn when they did.

Gempel, 50, remains in jail on murder and arson charges.

While Gempel’s arrest and the statements he made at the police station before being taken to the county jail are currently inadmissible, that may change at his court appearance next month. The assistant director of the state crime lab is set to testify about how DNA from tissue found under Dumyahn’s fingernails compared to a sample Gempel provided and when detectives learned about those results.

On Nov. 18, 2012, a passing off-duty firefighter noticed smoke coming from Dumyahn’s house in the 2300 block of Caton Farm Road.

The firefighter forced the front door open and pulled

Dumyahn out of the house to discover she already was dead.

Crest Hill Detective Jason Opiola testified Wednesday that Dumyahn had been stabbed 20 times.

Opiola said a handwritten ledger found by evidence technicians in Dumyahn’s bedroom showed Gempel had previously borrowed $40 and some pillows and blankets from her.

“But you didn’t see that ledger before Gempel was taken into custody,” Assistant Public Defender Katie Mackey asked Opiola during cross-examination. Opiola answered he knew about it before Gempel came into the Romeoville police station for a polygraph exam, but his reference to a lie detector during the hearing was stricken from the record.

Other detectives testified Gempel had scratches on his face and arms when he was first questioned on the night of Dumyahn’s death and told them it bothered him when she’d come over to collect her money.

“Lots of things could be motive,” Livas said. “All I’ve got are scratches with no explanation by the defendant or the state as to what caused them.”

Frankfort to complete more than $4M in water service projects THE HERALD–NEWS FRANKFORT – Residents in Frankfort can expect roughly $4.2 million worth of construction, engineering and landscaping projects for water utilities in the area.

Village Board members approved Monday several utility department improvement projects that Frankfort Mayor Jim Holland said are “part of the execution of our long-range planning to insure a plentiful and safe water supply for our residents,” according to a news release from the village.

The projects were discussed and presented at the Department of Operations meeting June 11 and are part of the utility projects budgeted for this year and 2015.

The projects include: • A roughly $4 million project to construct a water treatment plant at 80th Avenue with iron removal filters and the

conversation of recently drilled test wells into production wells. The project should be completed by December. Both plant and wells are expected to be operational by spring 2015.

• Water main replacement and looping for Woodruff Court in Frankfort Square; and Cedar Lane and Oakwood Drive in Connecticut Hills and Tanglewood. Woodruff Court experienced multiple failures and the project on Cedar Lane is planned to eliminate at least two dead-end mains. Engineering services for the project will be $83,968.

• A $21,179 landscaping project for the street at West Waste Water Facility Plant on Colorado Avenue. About 750 feet of the street will be landscaped and improved with fence staining and tree removal. The project is meant to make the area more visually appealing to neighbors, village officials said.

DEPARTMENT OF HEALTHCARE AND FAMILY SERVICES PROPOSED CHANGES IN METHODS AND STANDARDS FOR ESTABLISHING MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PAYMENT RATES FOR CERTAIN SERVICES he Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) proposes to change the methods and standards by which certain services are reimbursed under the Illinois Medical Assistance Program. he proposed changes are addressed below.

Payment Methodologies for Governmental Entities. he Department of Healthcare and Family Services will submit a State plan amendment seeking approval to exclude from base data in the development of capitation rates, Medicaid allowable costs incurred by a governmental entity that are in excess of any reimbursement to a governmental entity from a Medicaid capitated rate. Such costs excluded from the base data of a capitation rate may be considered as the non-federal portion of Medicaid expenditures and used for Medicaid claiming purposes independently of any capitation payment. his amendment will have a proposed efective day of July 1, 2014. his methodology is intended to preserve existing payment methodologies to governmental entities for Medicaid clients that receive medical services through capitated entities. Federal approval and implementation of this methodology will help to support government owned providers using existing payment methodologies and help to integrate such existing healthcare resources into managed care networks. Implementation of this methodology will preserve existing claiming processes for those entering capitation plans at no additional state or federal cost.

Care Coordination. he Department proposes to provide Accountable Care Entities (ACEs) a monthly case management fee for the purpose of providing care coordination services for its enrollees, efective July 1, 2014. he annual cost is estimated at $67.4 million.

Time, place and manner in which interested persons may comment on the proposed rate and methodological changes Any interested party may submit comments, data, views, or arguments concerning these proposed changes in reimbursement methods and standards. All comments must be in writing and should be addressed to: Bureau of Program and Reimbursement Analysis Division of Medical Programs Healthcare and Family Services 201 South Grand Avenue East Springield, IL 62763-0001 E-mail address: HFS.bpra@illinois.gov Interested persons may review these proposed changes on the HFS Public Involvement Web page <http://www2.illinois.gov/hfs/PublicInvolvement/>. Local access to the Internet is available through any local public library. In addition, this material may be viewed at the DHS local oices (except in Cook County). In Cook County, the changes may be reviewed at the Oice of the Director, Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services, 401 South Clinton Street, Chicago, Illinois. he changes may be reviewed at all oices Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. his notice is being provided in accordance with federal requirements found at 42 CFR 447.205. adno=0234050

SHOREWOOD – Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Moira Dunn announced Wednesday that she was appointed as the Democratic candidate for the 97th District House race.

Dunn, a Shorewood resident, issued a news release saying that she will replace Dennis Grosskopf, who on June 13 announced he will not run for the seat that he has sought in three of the past four elections.

Grosskopf’s exit and Dunn’s replacement as the candidate has been expected for weeks. She was formally appointed by the Democratic organizations in Will and Kendall counties.

Grosskopf, also a Shorewood resident, said he de-

cided to step out because of commitments to his job as a teacher in the Minooka High School District 111 and his position as local teachers union president.

“I’m excited for this new opportunity to continue serving my community and to be a strong bipartisan voice for every person in this district, regardless of whether they are Republicans, Democrats or independents,” Dunn said in the release.

Dunn ran for and lost the Democratic nomination for the Will County 2nd subcircuit judge to Daniel Kennedy in the March primaries.

She now faces Republican candidate Mark Batinick, a Plainfield resident who won a high-stakes primary over Oswego teacher Amanda Mancke and Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman.

Chicago City Council passes strict gun store law

CHICAGO – The Chicago City Council has approved an ordinance that dramatically limits where gun stores can operate and requires them to videotape every purchase to prevent one person from buying a gun for another.

Aldermen voted 48-0 on Wednesday for the law that would prohibit gun shops in most of Chicago.

Richard Pearson of the Illinois State Rifle Association says the ordinance is so restrictive it amounts to a ban, and will likely be challenged in court. He says owners couldn’t possibly make a living selling guns in Chicago.

Chicago has been at the center of a national gun control debate – even before its decades-old handgun ban was invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2010.

The ordinance follows a judge’s ruling that Chicago’s ban on gun stores was unconstitutional.

GOP lawmaker wants governor to testify on program

CHICAGO – A Republican lawmaker wants Gov. Pat Quinn to testify before a legislative commission over a scandal-plagued anti-violence program.

State Sen. Matt Murphy of Palatine is a frequent critic of Quinn. He claimed Wednesday that Quinn is “hiding” as an audit commission probes the Chicago Democrat’s approximately $55 million Neighborhood Recovery Initiative.

A state audit has outlined “pervasive” problems with the 2010 program. Quinn said he addressed them, but the matter is also under inquiry by federal and Cook County authorities.

Commission member Republican Rep. Ron Sandack said no invitation has been sent to Quinn.

Quinn’s spokesman said there’s no investigation of Quinn and the governor shut down the program.

Locke E. Bowman, Legal Director and Clinical Professor of Law at Northwestern University School of Law, speaks to the media Wednesday at the Dirksen Federal Building in Chicago about five men convicted and later cleared of the 1991 rape and murder of a suburban Chicago girl that have reached a $40 million settlement in a civil lawsuit against the Illinois State Police. The men, who came to be known as the “Dixmoor 5,” were teenagers when they were arrested in the death of Cateresa Matthews, a 14-year-old from Dixmoor. They spent a decade or more in prison before DNA evidence cleared them.

Illinois historic sites planning to reduce hours after Labor Day

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ historic sites aren’t expected to close because of budget cuts but are planning to curtail visiting hours after Labor Day. The Springfield State Journal-Register reported that Gov. Pat Quinn’s office is helping the Illinois Historic Preservation Agency to implement the plan.

About $1.1 million was cut from the historic sites section of the Historic Preservation Agency’s budget. The 19 percent cut for historic sites is part of a $35.7 billion budget approved by lawmakers in May that doesn’t allocate enough money to cover expenses, uses special funds for day-to-day operations and banks on future increases in revenue that may not materialize.

Lawmakers face heightened pressure to find additional funds next year or cut at least $4.4 billion in expenses, forcing layoffs, facility closures and massive program cuts.

Historic Preservation Agency director Amy Martin said the agency plans to finalize a list of sites with reduced hours by August.

Peoria offers $1.5 million to attract WWII ship

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The city of Peoria has made its pitch to become the new home for a World War II-era Navy ship now docked in Evansville, offering $500,000 in city funds pledging to work to raise an additional $1 million needed to develop a docking site and welcome plaza.

The Peoria City Council approved the moves Tuesday in an attempt to attract the LST-325, the Evansville Courier & Press reported. The board that oversees the LST-325 is looking for a visible location for the ship because its current dock upriver from downtown Evansville is isolated from other city attractions and doesn’t have any pedestrian traffic to encourage visitors. LST board members want more visitors.

Council members said the vote Tuesday night vote allowed them to meet the LST board’s request for a proposal by July 31, although Councilman Chuck Grayeb, who favors bringing the ship to Peoria, said he worries the proposal approved Tuesday won’t be enough.

He said he feared the “half measure is not going to cut it.”

Zoo announces birth of endangered Illinois snakes

CHICAGO – Chicago’s Lincoln Park Zoo has announced the birth of 13 rattlesnakes that are an endangered species in Illinois.

Officials say the litter of eastern massasauga rattlesnakes is the first ever bred at the zoo. They say the adult rattlesnakes were recommended to breed as a part of a survival plan for the species.

The zoo worked with several agencies to locate the rare snakes in the Chicago area and brought them to the zoo for protection. The rattlesnakes aren’t on display.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS U.S. economy shrank at steep 2.9 percent rate WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy shrank at a steep annual rate of 2.9 percent in the January-March quarter as a harsh winter contributed to the biggest contraction since the depths of the recession five years ago. But the setback is widely thought to be temporary, with growth rebounding solidly since spring.

The first-quarter contraction reported Wednesday by the government was even more severe than the 1 percent annual decline it had estimated a month ago.

Much of the downward revision reflected an unexpectedly sharp drop in health care spending. Another factor was a bigger trade deficit than earlier estimated.

Though such a sharp economic decline would typically stoke fears of another recession, analysts see it as a short-lived result of winter storms that shut factories, disrupted shipping and kept Americans away from shopping malls and auto dealerships.

Many expect growth to reach a robust annual rate of 3.5 percent or better this quarter.

Education Dept. removes tweet with movie scene WASHINGTON – The Education Department on Wednesday apologized for a tweet that depicted a scene from the movie “Bridesmaids” with the words “Help me.

I’m poor” imprinted on it as part of an effort to get students to

apply for federal aid.

“If this is you, then you better fill out your FAFSA: fafsa.gov,” the tweet reads. The quote in the movie is said during a comedic scene on an airplane by the character played by actress Kristen Wiig.

The department was seeking to encourage students to fill out a Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. The FAFSA form is the outlet to obtain federal grants and loans and many states and colleges use it to determine eligibility for other aid. The department estimates that more than 1 million high school students do not fill out the form – many of whom would be eligible for a federal Pell Grant that would not have to be paid back.

Justices rule in favor of broadcasters against Aereo WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a startup Internet company has to pay broadcasters when it takes television programs from the airwaves and allows subscribers to watch them on smartphones and other portable devices.

The justices said by a 6-3 vote that Aereo Inc. is violating the broadcasters’ copyrights by taking the signals for free. The ruling preserves the ability of the television networks to collect huge fees from cable and satellite systems that transmit their programming.

‘Get a warrant’ to search cellphones, Justices say

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – In an emphatic defense of privacy in the digital age, a unanimous Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that police generally may not search the cellphones of people they arrest without first getting search warrants.

Cellphones are unlike anything else police may find on someone they arrest, Chief Justice John Roberts wrote for the court. They are “not just another technological convenience,” he said, but ubiquitous, increasingly powerful computers that contain vast quantities of personal, sensitive information.

“With all they contain and all they may reveal, they hold for many Americans the privacies of life,” Roberts declared. So the message to police about what they should do before rummaging through a cellphone’s contents following an arrest is simple: “Get a warrant.”

The chief justice acknowledged that barring searches would affect law enforcement, but he said: “Privacy comes at a cost.”

By ruling as it did, the

court chose not to extend earlier decisions from the 1970s – when cellphone technology was not yet available – that allow police to empty a suspect’s pockets and examine whatever they find to ensure officers’ safety and prevent the destruction of evidence.

The Obama administration and the state of California, defending cellphone searches, said the phones should have no greater protection from a search than anything else police find.

But the defendants in the current cases, backed by civil libertarians, librarians and news media groups, argued that cellphones, especially smartphones, can store troves of sensitive personal information.

“By recognizing that the digital revolution has transformed our expectations of privacy, today’s decision is itself revolutionary and will help to protect the privacy rights of all Americans,” said American Civil Liberties Union legal director Steven Shapiro.

Under the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, police generally need a warrant before they can conduct a search. The warrant itself

must be based on “probable cause,” evidence that a crime has been committed.

In the cases decided Wednesday, one defendant carried a smartphone, while the other carried an older flip phone. The police looked through both without first getting search warrants.

Roberts said there’s no comparison between cellphones and packages of cigarettes and other items that were at issue in the earlier cases.

A ride on horseback and a flight to the moon both “are ways of getting from point A to point B, but little else justifies lumping them together,” he said.

Authorities concerned about the destruction of evidence can take steps to prevent the remote erasure of a phone’s contents or the activation of encryption, Roberts said. The police still may seize the cellphone and turn it off or remove its battery.

If they think that turning it off could trigger encryption when the phone is turned back on, police can leave the phone on and place it in a special Faraday bag that isolates the phone from radio waves, he said.

Bergdahl not interviewed yet by Army investigator

By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The Army sergeant recently released from captivity by the Taliban is in something of a legal limbo as the investigation continues into why and how he left his post in Afghanistan five years ago and ended up in insurgents’ hands.

Senior Army officials said Wednesday that Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl has not yet been interviewed by the two-star general appointed last week to investigate the matter.

They said he has not been read his legal rights and has not asked for a lawyer.

But the officials said the military team helping him recover from his imprison-

ment has told him that he is not immune from any subsequent charges, including anything linked to information he gives them now.

One senior Army official said that any admission Bergdahl may blurt out during the debriefings could be used against him. If that happens, the official said the debriefing would be halted and he could be read his rights and given access to a lawyer if he asked for one. The official said Bergdahl has been cooperative and it appears he has not made any admissions that could be used against him.

The tenuous legal line is that the reintegration team is focusing on the five years he spent in captivity, not how he got there. And Army officials said there is no sugges-

Federal appeals court: Gays have right to marry

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI and BRADY McCOMBS The Associated Press DENVER – A federal appeals court ruled for the first time Wednesday that gay couples have a constitutional right to marry, extending the movement’s legal winning streak and bringing the issue a big step closer to the U.S. Supreme Court.

The three-judge panel in Denver ruled 2-1 that states cannot deprive people of the fundamental right to marry simply because they choose a partner of the same sex.

The court dismissed as “wholly illogical” the notion that allowing gays to wed could somehow undermine traditional marriage.

The decision by the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel upheld a lower-court ruling that struck down Utah’s gay marriage ban. It becomes law in the six states covered by the 10th Circuit: Colorado, Kansas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Utah and Wyoming. But the panel immediately put the ruling on hold pending an appeal.

The Utah attorney gener-

al’s office planned to appeal, but it was assessing whether to go directly to the U.S. Supreme Court or ask the entire 10th Circuit to review the ruling, spokeswoman Missy Larsen said.

Wednesday’s decision “takes us one step closer to reaching certainty and finality,” the office said in a statement.

After the ruling, the couples named in the appeal hugged, cried and exchanged kisses at a news conference outside their attorney’s offices in downtown Salt Lake City.

“This decision is an absolute victory for fairness and equality for all families in Utah, in every state in the 10th Circuit and every state in this great nation of the United States,” said their attorney, Peggy Tomsic.

The decision gives increased momentum to a legal cause that already has compiled an impressive record in the lower courts after the Supreme Court last year struck down the federal Defense of Marriage Act. Since then, 16 federal and state judges have issued rulings siding with gay marriage advocates.

tion that Bergdahl was guilty of any misconduct while he was held captive, so there is no reason yet to read him his legal rights.

The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case publicly by name.

Bergdahl, Sgt. Bowe 28, disappeared Bergdahl from his post in Paktika province in eastern Afghanistan on June 30, 2009. Some former members of his unit have said that he left on his own accord. Bergdahl has not commented publicly on the circumstances of his disappearance. Several days after

he disappeared, it became clear that he had been taken prisoner by insurgents.

The Army officials said Wednesday that the investigation launched last week into the matter will examine whether Bergdahl went AWOL or if he deserted his post. A deserter in legal terms has no intention of returning, while a soldier who goes AWOL intends to. Maj. Gen. Kenneth R. Dahl, deputy commanding general of 1st Corps at Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington state, is conducting the investigation.

The Army said Wednesday that while investigations are usually limited to 60 days, there is no deadline on this one because the probe can’t begin until Bergdahl’s reintegration process is complete.

Once Dahl has finished his investigation, his recommendations would be forwarded to the director of the Army staff, who could approve or alter them, and then forward them to Bergdahl’s commander for any appropriate action.

The questions surrounding Bergdahl’s disappearance also complicate his back pay.

His pay was initially going into his bank account after he disappeared, but at a certain point the account became frozen due to inactivity. At that point, the Army set up another account to hold his pay.

Bergdahl has access to the pay in his bank account, but not the pay in the second account. And if it is determined he went AWOL or deserted, he could be forced to repay money.

GOP establishment hails Cochran, unusual alliance

By BILL BARROW and EMILY WAGSTER PETTUS The Associated Press JACKSON, Miss. – From Mississippi to the U.S. Capitol, mainstream Republicans expressed relief Wednesday at Sen. Thad Cochran’s comeback primary victory over tea party challenger Chris McDaniel, highlighting anew the fissures between traditional GOP powers and challengers determined to pull the party further rightward.

McDaniel, meanwhile, complained that a number of Democrats – most of whom are black in Mississippi – apparently cast ballots in the GOP runoff and boosted Cochran’s numbers. McDaniel refused to concede the race and said he would probe “irregularities” in Tuesday’s voting.

“We must be absolutely certain that our Republican primary was won by Republican voters,” McDaniel said.

“In the coming days, our team will look into the irregularities to determine whether a challenge is warranted.”

His insistence that Democrats voting in his party’s primary was a bad thing made some mainstream Republicans cringe – and express relief that Cochran, a six-term

U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran, R-Miss., addresses supporters and volunteers at his runoff election victory party Tuesday at the Mississippi Children’s Museum in Jackson, Miss. senator and former Appropriations Committee chairman, is now the heavy favorite to win re-election over Democrat Travis Childers this fall.

“I’m for more people voting, not less people voting,” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul told reporters in the Capitol in Washington.

Cochran’s victory, they said, allows the GOP to continue its push to win a Senate majority in November without worrying whether McDaniel, a 41-year-old state senator, will join Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in a conservative faction that often frustrates operations of the Senate.

Also, McDaniel might

have put the seat in jeopardy in November, said Kansas Sen. Jerry Moran.

“I believe that either Sen. Cochran or Sen. McDaniel would have won in November, but there’s a widespread belief that Sen. Cochran’s path is much clearer,” said Moran, chairman of the Senate GOP’s campaign committee.

“It’s a good day for Republicans and good news for anyone who wants a Republican majority that is similar in mindset to the current Republican minority,” said GOP strategist Tom Ingram, a top adviser to Tennessee Sen. Lamar Alexander.

important that nothing take place that contributes to the extremism or could act as a flash point with respect to the sectarian divide.”

Meanwhile, two U.S. officials said Iran has been flying surveillance drones in Iraq, controlling them from an airfield in Baghdad. The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly, said they believe the drones are surveillance aircraft only, but they could not rule out that they may be armed.

A top Iraqi intelligence official said Iran was secretly supplying the Iraqi security forces with weapons, including rockets, heavy machine guns and multiple rocket launchers. “Iraq is in a grave crisis and the sword is on its neck, so is it even conceivable that we turn down the hand outstretched to us?” said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the subject.

Ferry survivors return to school amid grief

By KIM YONG–HO The Associated Press ANSAN, South Korea – As parents of the dead wept, more than 70 teenagers who survived a ferry sinking that killed hundreds of their schoolmates walked in a somber procession Wednesday to their first classes since the April disaster.

Some of the 73 students, wearing white and black uniforms and carrying book bags, bowed their heads as they cried and walked slowly from a bus to the school entrance. Some stopped to hug the parents of their friends, who caressed their hair and faces. Adults carried banners of encouragement. One read: “I love you.” A large placard, which reads “We pray the dead will rest in peace,” was

hung up on the school entrance gate.

The anger, grief and deep remorse at Danwon High School in Ansan, outside of Seoul, was a reflection of what many South Koreans have felt since the April 16 sinking that left more than 300 people dead or missing. Of the 325 students on a class trip to the southern holiday island of Jeju, 75 were rescued, 245 died and 5 are still missing. Two of those rescued had already returned to school, officials said.

The return to classes of the survivors, who had been staying at a facility in Ansan where they had classes and therapy sessions, comes amid court hearings for the ferry crew and the officials from the company that owned it. Many South Koreans also fault the government, the coast guard

and even society for failing the victims.

“We ask for a thorough investigation to find out why our friends and teachers had to become victims and why the rescue efforts didn’t proceed properly and led to more victims,” one of the surviving students, Shin Young-jin, said in an emotional address. “We hope that you will try to create a safer nation so that such a horrible accident never happens again.”

After decades of negligence, many South Koreans are now questioning the country’s history of ignoring safety issues as it pursued rapid economic development above all else following the devastation of the Korean War, which began 64 years ago Wednesday with a North Korean invasion.

West to Putin: Prove commitment to peace

By LYNN BERRY The Associated Press MOSCOW – The Kremlin on Wednesday renounced the right to send troops into Ukraine and voiced support for a peace plan, but the West said Russia must do much more to stop the fighting in eastern Ukraine if it wants to avoid a new, more crippling round of sanctions.

A cease-fire, already fragile, is set to expire Friday, the same day that Ukraine signs a pivotal economic agreement with the European Union and the day that the EU and U.S. may consider further punitive measures against Russia.

After months of upheaval, this much is clear: The West appears to accept that it can do nothing about Russia’s annexation of Crimea, while Moscow seems resigned to Ukraine signing the sweeping trade pact that will bind the country more closely to the EU. It was the former Ukrainian president’s abrupt decision late last year to back out of the EU deal under pressure from Russia that triggered the current crisis.

But much uncertainty still surrounds the future of eastern Ukraine, where government troops are battling armed Moscow-backed separatists. The cease-fire has been repeatedly interrupted by fighting since it went into force last Friday.

At Putin’s request, the Rus-

sian parliament rescinded a resolution that had empowered him to intervene militarily in Ukraine. Putin said his request was intended to support the peace process.

U.S. and European governments welcomed the step but said it was not enough.

“Now we believe it’s critical for President Putin to prove by his actions, not just his words, that he is indeed fully committed to peace,” U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said at a meeting of diplomats from NATO nations in Brussels.

The same message was delivered by the German chancellor and the NATO chief.

Behind the scenes, meanwhile, the leaders of France, Germany and Ukraine spoke with Putin for more than an hour in a conference call.

The four agreed that a mechanism needs to be set up to oversee the cease-fire, German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s spokesman said. A statement issued by French President Francois Hollande said he and Merkel encouraged Putin to work with Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko to put such a mechanism in place.

The Kremlin said that Putin once again called for extending the cease-fire and sitting down for talks. Putin has argued that Ukraine’s demand that the rebels lay down their weapons within a week was unrealistic because they fear reprisals.

BAGHDAD – Syrian warplanes bombed Sunni militants’ positions inside Iraq, military officials confirmed Wednesday, deepening the concerns that the extremist insurgency that spans the two neighboring countries could morph into an even wider regional conflict. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry warned against the threat and said other nations should stay out.

Meanwhile, a new insurgent artillery offensive against Christian villages in the north of Iraq sent thousands of Christians fleeing from their homes, seeking sanctuary in Kurdish-controlled territory, Associated Press reporters who witnessed the scene said.

The United States government and a senior Iraqi military official confirmed that Syrian warplanes bombed

militants’ positions Tuesday in and near the border crossing in the town of Qaim.

Iraq’s other neighbors – Jordan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Turkey – were all bolstering flights just inside their airspace to monitor the situation, said the Iraqi official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media.

American officials said the target was the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, the Sunni extremist group that has seized large swathes of Iraq and seeks to carve out a purist Islamic enclave across both sides of the Syria-Iraq border.

“We’ve made it clear to everyone in the region that we don’t need anything to take place that might exacerbate the sectarian divisions that are already at a heightened level of tension,” Kerry said, speaking in Brussels at a meeting of diplomats from NATO nations. “It’s already

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Take steps to increase voting Voting is the most basic principle of democracy.

Yet, very few people exercise their right to vote. A lot of it is indifference, but some of it is the obstacles we place in front of people to be able to vote.

So, we were pleased to see both chambers of the Illinois Legislature pass a bill before last month’s session ended that would offer fewer restrictions for casting a ballot this November. It awaits Gov. Pat Quinn’s signature. He is expected to sign HB105 into law.

A cynic would suggest these reforms are nothing more than an attempt by Democrats to bring people more likely to vote Democratic to the polls. There’s probably some truth to that, but what’s wrong with getting more people involved in the process? And what’s stopping them from voting Republican?

This law would allow Election Day registration, would extend the early voting period by a day to the Sunday before the election. It also would let Illinois’ public universities set up a campus location for in-person absentee voting on Election Day. We support all of these actions. We’re wary of another provision that removes the photo identification requirement for in-person early voting, but are open to testing it as long as officials watch out for potential voter fraud and an evaluation is done after the November election.

Ten states and Washington, D.C., already allow same-day voter registration, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Sponsors of Illinois’ bill said they’d seek to expand the law beyond November if things went smoothly.

This legislation follows allowing 17-year-olds to vote in last March’s primary if they were going to turn 18 before the November general election.

We have an open mind when it comes to removing obstacles from allowing people to vote. We favor these changes for November’s election. If all goes well, we hope Illinois lawmakers consider making these changes permanent.

It would be nice if our elected officials spent less time making everything a partisan issue and more time doing what’s right for Illinois residents and democracy.

This arguing over rules allowed to help more people vote is just the latest example.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Marriage is what has brought us here today “All day long, some of them tended to the dying and to their burial, countless numbers with no one to care for them. Others gathered together, from all parts of the city, a multitude of those withered from famine, and distributed bread to them all.”

At a recent event in Washington, D.C., San Francisco Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone quoted from Eusebius, a historian who chronicled pagan Rome. Having Christians around (the “them” in the above quote), wasn’t the worst thing in the world. They’d stick around and care for you when you were sick and forgotten.

In today’s outrage-fueled media cycle, human stories often get lost unless used they’re for propaganda. This is a predominant reality of our current culture. We opine about decisions or activities without ever having facts. This is

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez who we are as a tweeting, blogging, status-updating people.

And so during what has become an annual March for Marriage in our nation’s capital, Cordileone made a plea: “Please do not make judgments based on stereotypes, media images and comments taken out of context. Rather, get to know us first as fellow human beings.”

He was responding to a group of politicians and activists protesting his involvement in the march.

Rep. Nancy Pelosi, who took to excoriating Cordileone, too, might not agree, but her city’s archbishop is worth taking a moment to listen to, whatever you make of the ongoing marriage debate.

At the event he also said: “Every child comes from a man and a woman, and has a right, a natural human right, to know and be known by, to love and be loved by, their own mother and father.

This is the great public good that marriage is oriented towards and protects. The question is then: does society need an institution that unites children to the mothers and fathers who bring them into the world, or doesn’t it?”

That’s not hate speech. That’s taking a moment to pause and consider why government should have anything to do with marriage in the first place.

Cordileone suggests that there can be “no justice, no peace, no end to poverty, without a strong culture of marriage and the family.”

He points to our modern reality:

See LOPEZ, page 21

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

We need to fix our economy; we especially need to pay a living wage to working-class families; we need to fix our broken immigration system; we need to improve our schools, especially those that are failing children from poorer families.”

But to fix these things, Cordileone insists that

we must first “rebuild a marriage culture, a culture, which recognizes and supports the good of intact families, built on the marriage between a man and a woman committed to loving faithfulness to each other and to their children.”

That’s what this country should be about. Individually, we may wind up choosing something else, wanting something else, doing something else. But can we reflect on what’s common about human nature and what’s good for a society?

teaching about the true nature of marriage is no condemnation of people who are gay. We simply believe that two people of the same sex should be unable to marry.

That is not to say that gay people cannot experience deep friendships, commitment, loyalty, generosity and love, just like anyone else. It is to say that men and women were made for each other in a unique and complementary way by God. Such a union is something that we believe cannot occur between two people of the same gender.

The capacity of a man and woman to procreate gives their union special and unique significance.

This complementary and the capacity that exists for the creation of a new person are essential to marriage, even when this potentiality is not fully realized, as in the case with couples who divorce or couples are unable or choose not to have children.

We live in a fast-paced time. So if we can take a news event – in 140 characters, or a short video, or a quick conversation – to draw

people into something deeper, we might impart a bigger picture than our computer screens, news debates and certainly political campaigns typically show.

If we try to encounter people instead of bludgeon them, we might be surprised whom we meet and what good, beauty and truth we’re drawn to.

To the Editor: Provisions such as the federal Health Insurance Tax seem like a tool to try to put the little guys out of business.

Our family-owned store has been around for six decades, and we offer health insurance plans to all of our full-time workers. When our employee-related expenses increase, it means we have to cut back on staff. The Health Insurance Tax will also force small businesses to raise prices no matter how much we don’t want to.

In the end, this means the middle and lower class populations pay more.

The Health Insurance Tax is set to bring us an increase of more than $40 monthly per

policy. We are still in discussions as to how we are going to handle the added expense.

Right now we pay 100 percent of the premiums, so we may have to begin splitting this cost with our employees. This is a difficult decision because today’s economy makes it really difficult for individuals and families to absorb any increases.

My hope is that Congress will look into this more and figure out a better way.

Perhaps there could be some top-down cuts on the government side, rather than making businesses deal with the costs.

Whatever the real intention of the Health Insurance Tax measure, it is clearly unjust.

Please join me in urging our members of Congress to help all of us by supporting the

In the Funny Car division, Robert Hight, the 2009 champion, has the biggest advantage among the four leaders, owning a 254-point lead.

Hight built up his big advantage thanks to four victories thus far, which included three straight triumphs.

He followed up on a win in Gainesville with consecutive victories at Charlotte, Houston and Atlanta.

Alexis DeJoria holds down second place, while the legendary John Force, the all-time NHRA winner

in all events as well a 16time world champion, is third, three points back.

The current leader with the most world titles under his belt is Andrew Hines, a three-time champion who last won the Pro Stock Motorcycle crown in 2006.

Hines, who claimed wins at Charlotte and Englishtown, leads Eddie Krawiec, another three-time champion, by 37 points. Matt Smith, the defending champ in the division, ranks fifth, 176 points behind the leader.

JOLIET – As competitors prepare to hit the midway mark of their National Hot Rod Association seasons this weekend at the O’Reilly Auto Parts Route 66 Nationals, a few different names have emerged atop the Mello Yello Championship points standings.

That should provide some interesting story lines for the fans heading to Route 66 Raceway to watch the qualifying rounds leading up to Sunday’s finals of the 17th annual event.

Doug Kalitta, who’s tied for sixth in career wins in the Top Fuel division, has the top spot in the points battle with 1,001 as he pursues his first world championship.

Antron Brown, the 2012 winner, is 157 points back while last year’s champion, Shawn Langdon, ranks third, 218 points behind Kalitta.

Kalitta has won only once this season, at Gainesville, while Brown owns victories at Phoenix, Charlotte and Houston.

Tony Schumacher, the seven-time champion and all-time race winner in the Top Fuel division, currently ranks fifth, 331 points behind the leader.

In Pro Stock, Erica Enders-Stevens leads the way with 972 points, which is 183 ahead of last year’s winner and five-time champion Jeg Coughlin Jr. Enders-Stevens has won titles at Las Vegas, Houston and Bristol, while Coughlin has claimed top honors at Commerce and Englishtown, New Jersey.

O’FALLON, Mo. – The Joliet Slammers were victimized by slow-pitch softball scores in the first two games of their threegame series against the River City Rascals.

The Slammers fell behind early and never recovered in Wednesday’s 18-7 loss. That came on the heels of Tuesday night’s 13-7 setback.

River City, the best hitting team in the Frontier League, scored 10 runs in the first inning off Joliet starter Andrew Busby in Wednesday’s morning game.

The Slammers got on the board on Russell Moldenhauer’s solo home run in the fourth inning to cut the deficit to 14-1.

The Rascals (22-13) added another run but Joliet (14-20) scored five in the fifth to make it 15-6. Jose Garcia’s two-run single was the big hit with RBIs from Grant DeBruin, Adam Giacalone and Danny Hernandez, as well. The Slammers’ final run came on a pinch solo homer from Seth Granger in the ninth.

The Rascals received a threerun homer from Zach Kometani, his second homer of the game, to make it a 18-6 at the time. Josh Ludy, who leads the Frontier League in homers and RBIs, drove in three with three singles. Brian Hanson homered and the Rascals also had two-run doubles from Hector Crespo and Curran Redal. River City totaled 20 hits, the Slammers had 13.

In Tuesday’s 13-7 loss, the Slammers led, 7-5, before faltering.

Moldenhauer’s RBI double and DeBruin sacrifice fly gave Joliet a 2-0 lead in the first. The Rascals, though, scored four times in the bottom of the inning off starter Kody McFarland.

Max Casper’s sacrifice fly in the second got the Slammers back within 4-3. They tied it at 5 in the fifth on Marquis Riley’s sacrifice fly and Adam Lewis’ RBI single and went ahead, 7-5, in the fourth on Adam Giacalone’s single and Riley’s RBI groundout.

The Rascals then exploded for eight runs in their next three atbats, including Ludy’s grand slam, to lead, 13-7, after six innings.

Last season, Luke Yaklich announced he was leaving to accept a position as an assistant coach at Illinois State University. DiForti, then the head coach at Plainfield North, was hired to run the Tigers’ program.

At last weekend’s Joliet West Shootout, DiForti was busy with an abundance of organizational work thanks in no small part to two entries in the 32-team field not showing up. He also needed to coach his team, which he believes will improve on last season’s 9-16 record.

“We have a nice core of seniors who saw significant minutes last year and there are a couple of sophomores we will bring up,” DiForti said.

“I like bringing up young kids. It’s not like it used to be when a sophomore would be in shock or in awe of varsity ball. Now they are ready to play on that level.”

The sophomores DeForti mentioned are forward Trevian Bell and point guard Teyvio’n Kirk. The seniors, though, are expected to lead the way.

“Mike Ruwoldt went downstate in 3-point shooting last year,” DiForti said. “We also have D’Anthony Wright and Max Ahern. I’m happy with all of them.

“Plus, Jeff Washington is a senior who is almost like our glue. He plays football and basketball and is one of our leaders. He’ll go right from one sport to the other in the summer and not complain at all.”

Ruwoldt, who averaged 8 points last season and shot 48 percent from 3-point range, is the main outside threat.

Wright averaged 7.9 points, Washington 5.5 and Ahern 3.4.

However, Ahern, who often is stationed in the post, is a capable shooter, as well.

“Ahern has more confidence in his offense now,” DiForti said. “He can step out

“We also have two seniors off the bench, Tom Carney and Malcohm Hill. It’s a nice bunch of guys who play well together. Add in the young guys who don’t know any better, and we have a good mix.

It’s a good group.”

DiForti said a lot has to come together, but individually, the Tigers have all the elements that a successful team needs.

“I’m happy with what we’ve done in the summer,” he said. “We have the pieces to what a good team needs.

We have a shooter, a ballhandler, a rebounder, someone to fill each of the roles of a good team. It’s a matter of getting it all together.”

DiForti’s first West team was fun to watch, getting up and down the floor with the best of them. The biggest issue sometimes was finishing on

the offensive end.

“We will play fast,” DiForti promised. “We’ll put numbers on the board. Last year, there were times we couldn’t put the ball in the hole. We should be improved in that area. We should be able to score and defend with the guys we have.”

It is unlikely any of the Tigers will average 20 points, or anything close to that. But there is nothing wrong with balance.

“This team could have four or five guys who score 10 to 12 points a night,” DiForti said.

“That’s a good thing about this team. They don’t worry about who scores as long as someone does.”

DiForti said that just having a summer to work with his Tigers will make things better for next season.

“This year will be a change from last year,” he said. “I think we will be better this year and the program will keep improving from there.”

BOYS BASKETBALL

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, June 26, 2014

In this era of one-on-one basketball, when every kid wants to take the ball to the basket and hopefully finishg with a resounding dunk, Lockport coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. is a bit of a throwback.

Of course, his motivation is to afford his team its best chance to be successful.

Thompson had the Porters at last weekend’s Joliet West Shootout, and what was immediately noticeable is Lockport is not very big.

“I have to get out those circus mirrors and put them in our locker room,” Thompson said. “At least we’ll look taller.

“We’re not as athletic as we have been and we’re just as small. So what we have to do is stress fundamentals, especially on the defensive end.

“On the offensive end, we have to put a premium on getting uncontested shots and knock those down. The key will be whether we will be patient enough to get that done.”

If one of the Porters launched an uncontested 20foot shot in the flow of the offense at the shootout, Thompson did not mind.

But if the 20-footer went up too quickly, or with a defender in the shooter’s face, his reaction was not nearly as favorable.

“We just want to get good shots, uncontested shots,” Thompson said. “A shot from 20 feet can be a good shot, but it’s not always the best.”

Lockport’s graduation losses from last season’s 1315 team included Grover Anderson, John Campbell, Ryan Reed, Jaylandt Gilmer and Matt Baran, all of whom key components.

Returning with significant varsity experience are Ralph Blakney, Deiondre Taylor and Gehrig Hollatz. Tyrail Trussell had a 20-point game in a regional victory over Joliet West.

“We hope Ralph Blakney, Gehrig Hollatz and Deion-

“They have the most varsi-

ty minutes. We need them to step up their individual games as well as lead the

team confidence-wise.”

Thompson said rebounding, shot selection and mak-

ing shots are areas where Lockport must improve.

“We want to get ball movement and people movement and end up with an uncontested shot,” he said. “We want to make it a five-on-five game so we can make a play.”

Overall, the summer has been has been going decently well, Thompson noted.

“It’s an average summer,” he said. “The kids who are going to compete are out here trying to get better.”

Thompson is entering his 16th season as Lockport’s head coach. His 115-year record is 235-184, a .561 winning percentage.

However, the Porters have had two consecutive sub-.500 seasons and are anxious to get back on the plus side of the ledger. The key to getting there is remaining patient and executing a five-man game on both ends of the floor.

That’s Thompson’s way.

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – For the last two seasons, Bolingbrook’s boys basketball team has entered the Morris Boys Shootout with a target on its backs, being hailed as one of the tourney favorites.

The Raiders did not win either one of those tournaments, so entering this summer’s event with not nearly as much fanfare sits just fine with Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost.

“The last two years, we were one of the big dogs coming in here,” Brost said. “We didn’t win either year. This year, we are coming in a bit under the radar, and that’s something I like.”

It’s not like the Raiders are totally lacking in talent, judging by the results they turned in. They opened with a 58-21 win over Coal City, then beat Galesburg, 52-49, before dumping Ottawa, 59-45. And this was without their starting center.

“We didn’t have Julian Torres, our 6-foot-9 center,” Brost said. “He’s playing with the Puerto Rican Junior National Team this summer.

He’s been gone all summer, so

What the Raiders do have is a backcourt that is the envy of most. Between Prentiss Nixon, a Colorado State recruit, and Broderic Thomas, Bolingbrook can match up with just about anyone.

“What was good about [Wednesday] is that Prentiss was hurt the first week or so of summer and Broderic has been hurt up until now,” Brost said. “This is the first time they have been totally healthy together, and they are a very good 1-2 combo.

“We also have Devon Sams,

who has been playing very well this summer, as well as Zach Grady on the post. Also, Demitri Akenten has done a real good job on the glass for us.”

Bolingbrook begins championship bracket play Thursday at noon, taking on either Plainfield Central or Springfield.

“We know we didn’t shoot the ball very well [Wednesday],” Brost said. “But we did share it well, and that way we were able to get some easy buckets. We are going to have to be ready [Thursday]. There are only No. 1 and 2 pool seeds in the bracket, so every game is going to be a tough one.”

By PATRICK ROSE The Associated Press CHICAGO – Mat Latos pitched seven sharp innings for his first win of the season and Jay Bruce had two run-scoring doubles, leading the Reds to a 4-1 victory over the Cubs on Wednesday night.

Latos was coming off a frustrating no-decision against Toronto, when he was staked to an 8-0 lead and was unable to hold on. He gave up five runs and nine hits in 52⁄3 innings as the Blue Jays rallied for a 14-9 victory Friday night.

Edwin Jackson (5-8) allowed four runs and six hits in 51⁄3 innings for the Cubs, which has dropped four of five. Starlin Castro had two hits and drove in a run.

The Cubs lost two of three against the Reds to fall to 1231 against Cincinnati over the last three seasons.

Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect eighth and Aroldis Chapman finished for his 14th save in 15 chances.

Pinch-hitter Justin Ruggiano doubled off the front of the basket in right field with two outs in the ninth. The call was

upheld after Cubs manager Rick Renteria called for a review, and Chapman struck out pinch-hitter Mike Olt to end the game.

Cincinnati went ahead to stay with three runs in the sixth. Todd Frazier scored from first on Joey Votto’s opposite-field double to left. After Mesoraco’s single, Bruce lined a double off third baseman Luis Valbuena’s glove to drive in Votto.

Jackson struck out Chris Heisey before James Russell came in, and Skip Schumaker executed a perfect suicide squeeze to give the Reds a 4-1 lead. Schumaker also had two doubles in a nice night at the plate.

Bruce put the Reds in front with a two-out double down the right-field line in the first, scoring Frazier from second.

Votto tried to hustle home from first but was cut down at the plate on Darwin Barney’s relay throw.

The Cubs tied it in the fourth. Ryan Sweeney reached on a leadoff double, advanced on Anthony Rizzo’s groundout and scored on Castro’s base hit.

Plainfield Knights of Columbus celebrates 50 years of service

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – For 20 years, Leon O’Brien of Plainfield Township, one of the original charter members of the Knights of Columbus Good Shepherd Council 5573 in Plainfield, was a fish fry caller.

“I’d call out the order numbers,” O’Brien said, “and the people in the crowd would wave their hands so I could deliver the orders.”

O’Brien, now 96, also worked the Tootsie Roll drives, helped prepare and walked beside a council float for Plainfield’s homecoming parade, is a Fourth Degree Knight – the highest honor a member can receive – and was the council’s fifth Grand Knight.

Not bad for someone that had to be persuaded to join.

O’Brien and Henry Stratz of Plainfield Township, the other surviving charter member, were recently honored at the council’s 50th anniversary celebration May 24. Leon said he received an 8-inch statue of Jesus as the Good Shepherd.

“It’s a beautiful statue,” O’Brien said.

Fifty years ago, O’Brien

was a new member of St. Mary Parish and an usher when he was approached about becoming a member of the Knights of Columbus and serving as

its financial secretary.

O’Brien did not know much about the organization but he wished to serve his church, so he agreed. One of the first

projects the Knights completed was remodeling the church basement for a meeting room.

That led to additional similar projects, such as setting up and tearing down for funeral lunches, Velma said.

“We had people that could do different things, like fix plumbing or electrical, things of that nature,” O’Brien said.

“This way, the pastor could get things fixed up. I’m sure he appreciated it.”

Through the years, O’Brien said he has held all the chair offices of his council. O’Brien especially enjoyed the anniversary celebration, as he visited with Knights he had not seen in many years. O’Brien is glad he decided to join the Knights.

“It turned out to be pretty good,” he said.

Chancellor Robert Cozzi of Plainfield joined seven years ago. A former licensed senior reactor operator for ComEd and former owner of a cabinetry business, Cozzi – for many years – had participated in charitable endeavors through the Plainfield Rotary Club, Cozzi said.

the movie will be canceled.

Of course, Howe hopes to sell beyond the minimum. If he reaches it, he can continue selling until July 9.

Either way, Howe said, the

dinner is on.

Howe is not a veteran. But a nephew who just graduated high school has enlisted in the U.S. Marines. His grandfather – an engineer – served in World War II. “He was the guy that went out and rebuilt a bridge when the enemy blew it up,” Howe said. “I think the Sept. 11 attacks really awakened my patriotism – my love for country and the sacrifices that out military does for us.”

This benefit idea came to Howe after a Facebook friend asked him to like the movie’s page.

Howe saw that Tugg, a company that brings on-demand movies to theaters, according to its website at www.tugg.com, was sponsoring the movie. Being familiar with Tugg and the way it operates, Howe decided to pair it with a fundraiser for local veterans.

Why? Because he can, Howe said. Because he cares.

Because Howe can’t ignore someone in need when he is able to help.

“Besides,” Howe said, “who doesn’t like to plan a party?”

By BRADY McCOMBS and MICHELLE L. PRICE The Associated Press SALT LAKE CITY – The decision by the Mormon church to excommunicate the founder of a prominent women’s group marks a stern statement at a time when the church is under pressure to recognize gay rights and allow women into the priesthood.

Experts believe the move essentially draws a line in the sand to show church members how far they can go in publicly questioning church practices.

The ousting of Kate Kelly is rare and brings down the harshest punishment available on a church member who created an organization and staged demonstrations in a push to permit women to join the faith’s lay clergy.

“It does more than excommunicate Kelly,” said Jan Shipps, a retired religion professor from Indiana who is a non-Mormon expert on the church. “It warns everybody.”

Shipps said The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is implementing “boundary maintenance,” using Kelly as an example to show people how far they can go in questioning church practices.

The message seems to be that “organizing pressure groups, and trying to cultivate a following for such groups, crosses a line that will trigger disciplinary action,” said Armand Mauss, a retired professor of sociology and religious studies at Washington State University.

Church officials had no immediate comment Monday.

Kelly’s former church leaders in Virginia notified her by email after holding a disciplinary hearing Sunday.

They found her guilty of apostasy, defined as repeated and public advocacy of positions that oppose church teachings.

Kelly’s group, Ordain Women, announced the decision Monday and released excerpts from the letter she received.

“I believe in the immortal soul and the dignity of human beings,” Cozzi said. “I have nothing against other faiths.

NEW LENOX – Anyone who has met Tim Howe of Manhattan knows he spends much of his free time trying to connect people who need help with resources that will help them.

“Sometimes it seems like God and me are on a path together,” Howe said. “I just want to follow.”

This time, Howe needs the community’s support in order to help disabled veterans.

On July 10, Howe is hosting a movie and dinner event to help provide Thanksgiving dinners for members of the Will County Disabled American Veterans Chapter 103 and their families.

The documentary – “Travis: A Soldier’s Story” – tells how Travis Mills lost parts of both arms and legs while on patrol in Afghanistan in 2012, and is addressing the challenges of being a quadruple amputee.

But there’s a hitch. In order for Howe to host the event, he must sell 40 tickets

by July 2. If Howe doesn’t meet the minimum quota,

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

If you overbid, you must overplay

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Have you ever made a wild overbid on a deal because it felt like the right thing to do at the time? Of course you have; we all have. But then you probably found yourself in a hopeless contract, went down and apologized to your partner. Sometimes, though, you might have been able to call on the assistance of your opponents.

In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deal, South is in four spades. West leads the club jack. That wins the first trick and South ruffs the second club.

How should declarer continue?

When North rebid one notrump to show a balanced 12-14 points, South might have settled for a two-spade signoff, but one can understand a game-invitational three-spade rebid. Here, North would probably have passed because he does not have a very suitable hand for a spade contract.

Four spades appears to be one level too high. South seems destined to lose two spades, one heart and one club. But he has a Machiavellian chance. He should cross to the dummy in a red suit and call for the spade jack.

Many Easts, looking at the queen and 10, would not be able to resist the temptation to cover with the queen. Then, though, after South wins with his ace, there will be a stunned silence when West is forced to play his king.

Declarer drives out the spade 10 and claims his contract.

Although the opponents are supposedly trying to defeat your contract, remember that many of them will misdefend if you give them half a chance.

Dear Abby: When I read the letter from “Undeserving Title of Mommy” (March 4), the pregnant woman who was saddened by the fact that she’s expecting a baby boy instead of the girl she had hoped for, my heart went out to her. I was reminded of something I had read about, a condition called gender depression or gender disappointment.

In the cursory search I did, it was almost always described as what this mother seems to be feeling – disappointment, sadness, guilt, etc. Unfortunately, this condition isn’t widely discussed, in much the same way that postpartum depression isn’t talked about.

However, from what I’ve discovered, the writer is far from the only woman to experience this.

Many women describe their feelings about gender disappointment on parenting websites. This may be a good start, opening a dis-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips cussion for this woman on what she is feeling. I hope she finds the help she needs. – Concerned In New Mexico Dear Concerned: Thank you for the suggestion. Many women sympathized with “Undeserving.”

Read on for more responses: Dear Abby: I have a son, and when I was carrying him, I felt the same way. I didn’t think I could love him like I could love a daughter. I didn’t tell anyone about my feelings and I, too, felt like a monster.

But this all changed once I held my son for the first time. I can’t imagine now living without my little guy, and I wouldn’t change him for the world.

“Undeserving” is not alone.

Many women feel this way about having a son. Like Abby said, don’t rush into signing any papers, because you may find that when you hold him for the first time, you will fall in love and you would deeply regret having done so. – Understanding Mom Dear Abby: You should have also advised that woman that before she has four children – princes or princesses – she should get an education, a job and a husband so society won’t have to support her little “kingdom.” Too many children have no father figure to help raise them. I spent my working life striving to educate my children, and achieving that goal is much more difficult when there aren’t two loving parents to share the job. – Fred In The Midwest • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Puberty brings flood of physical and emotional changes Dear Doctor K: What can I expect when my son goes through puberty?

Dear Reader: I’m tempted to reply: “You don’t want to know.”

Then again, you wrote me expecting an answer, so here goes.

There are hormonal changes during puberty. In addition, the brain still is growing and developing; it is not yet the adult brain. There are things the adult brain does that the adolescent brain often does not do – like think twice before doing something.

Puberty usually starts between the ages of 9 and 14 for boys. It typically lasts four or five years. The first sign of puberty in a boy is usually that the testicles and scrotum get bigger, due to changes in male sex hormones.

Then the penis starts to grow, at first longer and then wider.

The scrotum also gets darker, or redder, and more wrinkled.

Boys gain a lot of weight and develop muscles during puberty. Their shoulders get wider and they grow taller. The peak growth period occurs about two years after puberty has begun.

Hair grows under the arms, on the legs and face, in the pubic area and sometimes on the chest.

Glands in the skin make more oil

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and sweat. Body odor and acne might become noticeable.

Another change is that a boy’s voice becomes lower or deeper than it was during childhood.

This may start with squeaking or cracking of the voice.

As hormone levels increase during puberty, boys have more frequent erections. The body starts making sperm, and boys start to ejaculate during an erection. Boys sometimes ejaculate while they are sleeping. This so-called wet dream, or nocturnal emission, is perfectly normal, and it usually goes away as a boy gets older.

Puberty also brings many emotional changes. Your son is developing intense friendships.

He cares deeply about what other people think, and he wants to be liked and accepted by his friends.

Respect your son’s growing need for independence from you and desire to keep many things private – at least from you. At the same time that he is becoming more independent from you, your son is becoming much

more dependent on his friends.

And, particularly in the age of smartphones and online social networks, he is revealing many more personal thoughts, feelings and events to his friends.

During puberty, a child’s moods change quickly and often.

Although it can be frustrating, these mood swings are normal and are probably related to changes in hormone levels in the body. Do your best to support, encourage and guide your child though this time.

It’s a good idea to talk to your son about puberty before his development begins. Teenage boys are aware of how emotionally turbulent and impulsive they can be. They often recognize that their behavior is different from when they were younger. They sometimes even feel “possessed” – as though some greater force is influencing their behavior.

They can worry that they may be losing their mind. Discussing the changes that come with puberty can help them to know what to expect.

Was grounding too harsh?

Dr. Wallace: Last night I heard the bad news: My girlfriend has been grounded for five weeks. Last Saturday night I went to her house to watch a video. Because she became bored with the movie, we went downstairs to the family game room to play Nintendo and just talk.

Her parents must have thought I went home because they didn’t come down to the game room to tell me that it was time for me to go home. We talked until 1:30 a.m., and then we both fell asleep and didn’t wake up until 2:30. That’s when I went home.

There was no “hanky-panky.”

The next day her parents found out about this, and she was grounded for a week. I blamed myself for dozing off because I had been up early that morning.

Later in the day my girlfriend started laughing at her mother when she was arguing with her little brother. Her mother got mad at her and added another month to her punishment.

I think this was a little harsh because my girlfriend was grounded for a small mistake, and then punished severely because she laughed. What do you think about this?

– Nameless, Elkhart, Ind. Dear Nameless: Your girlfriend and you used very poor judgment. Even if there was no “hanky-panky,” it was inconsiderate to stay at her house until 1:30 a.m., and terribly rude to fall asleep in someone else’s house

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace if uninvited.

I guess your girlfriend’s mother was overly upset because she thought her daughter was making fun of her.

Most times laughter is a positive reaction, but there is a time and place for everything and laughing when her mom was in “discussion” with a younger brother was out of place. I agree with the five weeks’ of grounding.

Besides, the punishment of a daughter by her parents is their concern and really none of your business!

Dr. Wallace: My dad says that “daydreaming” is a sign of being unorganized and lazy.

Is that true? If it is, I’m unorganized and lazy, but I really don’t believe that I am. – Lazy, Sidney, Ohio.

Dear Lazy: Daydreaming is a normal, common experience in which nearly everyone indulges daily, according to the University of Michigan Medical Center.

For most daydreamers these experiences are welcome mental mini-vacations.

One should become concerned when daydreaming interferes with the normal routine of daily living.

For example, if your schoolwork is hindered because of excessive daydreaming, then obtaining help is in order.

DAILY DISH HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Your attitude will determine how successful you will be this year. You have all the talent, tools and information that you need, but you will fall behind if you rely on the opinions of others. Have the confidence to take control and make decisions.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You may be feeling somewhat low or lethargic.

Having a heart-to-heart with one of your close friends will help lift your spirits and get you back on track.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Try to learn as much as you can about some casual acquaintances. The information you gather will provide valuable insight into the best way to handle any situation that may arise.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Proceed with caution. Your words or actions may be used against you if you aren’t on your best behavior. Pay close attention to detail, and do what’s right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Use a support network you trust to find information that will let you get ahead. The recommendations you receive will help you access techniques and trends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stop feeling weighed down with obligations and responsibilities when all you have to do is say no. Let others help you for a change, while you get the rest you need to rejuvenate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Stay out of the spotlight. Your words could be misinterpreted or blown out of proportion. A situation that has been bothering you will begin to get better as long as you are patient.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Consider making a professional move. You will make financial gains if you apply your unique talents in a diverse and inventive manner. Believe in your abilities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – A spurof-the-moment get-together will do you good, as well as help you forget your troubles. Don’t let everyday matters smother your creativity or your sense of humor.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be prepared to explain your actions. You may be under suspicion for something that occurred recently. Be open and above-board if someone calls your honesty into question.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You need to resolve some pressing issues. The information you are looking for will come to light as a result of a trip, change of scenery or conversation with an outsider.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Keep your distance if discord breaks out at work.

Act professionally. Your capabilities may come into question if you pry into issues that don’t concern you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You could end up in an awkward position if you act too rashly or thoughtlessly. Show responsibility to avoid jeopardizing some hot prospects you are eyeing.

For sports fans, Pittsburgh covers all the bases

By CHARLIE VASCELLARO Special to The Washington Post My baseball fanatic friends and I always close the bar at the Rivertowne Brewing Hall of Fame Club after Pirates games at PNC Park in Pittsburgh. We linger for as long as they let us, enjoying the great view of the field and reduced postgame drinks prices. It’s just one of many reasons why we love coming to PNC Park and hate leaving.

Talk to any traveling baseball fan or ballpark aficionado about PNC Park, and they’ll speak in reverent tones about the panoramic view of the Pittsburgh skyline beyond the outfield wall. In its 14-year existence, the visually stunning chiseled-limestone ballpark has become one of professional baseball’s most highly regarded cathedrals, sitting at the center of a historic sports mecca.

Some of the most dramatic and memorable moments in professional sports history have taken place in Pittsburgh: Bill Mazeroski’s walkoff home run in the seventh game of the 1960 World Series; Roberto Clemente’s outstanding performance in the 1971 series and his 3,000th and final hit the next year, just three months before he died in a plane crash while flying relief supplies to earthquake victims in Nicaragua. Clemente passed the torch as team leader to Willie “Pops” Stargell, who led the Pirates to their next World Series victory in 1979.

The football Steelers have Franco Harris’s improbable “Immaculate Reception,” when he caught a deflected pass and ran it into the end zone for a touchdown in the final seconds of the team’s 1972 playoff victory over the Oakland Raiders. NFL Films chose it as the greatest play of all time.

Pittsburgh’s iconic sports history is celebrated with statues, monuments, memorials and historical markers throughout the city, as well as some very entertaining and

Rieder Photography photo

A visitor looks at a photo of Roberto Clemente at the Pittsburgh Pirates Roberto Clemente Museum in Pittsburgh. The museum is dedicated to preserving the legacy of “The Great One,” as fans affectionately called Clemente. enlightening sports museums.

“I don’t think there’s another city in the United States that uses sport as much as Pittsburgh to tell its story to the world,” says Rob Ruck, a sports history professor at the University of Pittsburgh.

In his LinkedIn profile photo, Ruck is posing in front of a preserved portion of the outfield wall at Forbes Field that Mazeroski’s historic blast flew over. The wall segment stands outside the university’s Mervis Hall, which was built on the site of the Pirates’ home park from 1909 to 1970. Pirates fans gather here every Oct. 13 to listen to the radio re-broadcast of the game. Surrounding PNC Park at four points are bronze statues of Clemente, Stargell, Mazeroski and Honus Wagner. Seven members of the Negro League’s Pittsburgh Crawfords and Homestead Grays are also honored with sculpted likenesses in the ballpark’s Legacy Square, inside the left-field gate entrance.

Beyond the outfield wall, the Roberto Clemente Bridge looms at the forefront of the horizon, running from left to left-center-field and providing

a spectacular vista from the park.

It has been 42 years since Clemente’s death, but you’d be hard pressed to find another player in baseball history who left such a lasting impression on his team and its city. Clemente’s number 21 is still the most popular number on fans’ T-shirts and jerseys at PNC Park.

Outside the right-field wall, which rises to 21 feet, the Roberto Clemente Memorial Park contains a series of cascading waterfalls along the ballpark’s exterior walkway.

But perhaps the greatest memorial to his legacy is the Roberto Clemente Museum. Housed in the old Enginehouse No. 25 in the Lawrenceville neighborhood, about three miles from PNC Park, it’s the largest collection of Clemente photographs and memorabilia assembled in one place.

Tours of the museum are available by appointment only, and I made mine at the last minute before arriving in town for the Orioles games at PNC Park. The museum was hosting a private event on the same day, and the assistant director told me that

I would have only 30 minutes to see everything. About an hour-and-a-half later, I was drinking wine with Rieder in the museum basement, which functions as a winery and cellar.

“I started making these wines when I found out that Roberto drank only homemade red wine made by the team’s trainer, Tony Bartirome,” Rieder told me.

It’s true: In photos of the Pirates celebrating in the clubhouse after the 1971 World Series victory, Clemente is holding a large goblet of red wine, while others are imbibing beer and champagne.

Less than two miles from the Clemente Museum is the Western Pennsylvania Sports Museum at the Heinz History Center, where a life-size figure of Harris making the Immaculate Reception greets you on the second floor. Another lifelike figure, of Mazeroski hitting his famous home run, adds a three-dimensional element to the museum’s baseball exhibit, a 40-foottall, two-story room adorned with a mural of Forbes Field as it appeared on the day of the seventh game of the 1960 World Series.

An enlarged photo of the Negro League’s Pittsburgh Crawfords adorns an adjacent wall in front of the museum’s Negro Leagues exhibit, which draws particular attention to famed slugger Josh Gibson.

A statue of Gibson will be unveiled with the creation of an expanded Negro League exhibit and the relaunching of the sports museum in the fall of 2015.

As a lifelong student of the game, I’m familiar with Gibson’s legacy as one of the most prolific sluggers in baseball history and make it a point to visit his gravesite at the Allegheny Cemetery every time I’m in town. Located in what was once a segregated corner of the sprawling cemetery, it’s a great place to contemplate Pittsburgh’s baseball history – and baseball history in general.

BEST BETS THURSDAY ± 7 p.m. NBC 5 Hollywood Game Night: Brooklyn Decker (“Friends With Better Lives”) and her tennisveteran spouse, Andy Roddick, are among the celebrity players who lend extra meaning to the episode title “He Said, She Said.” So does another married couple, music star John Legend and model Chrissy Teigen. “Scrubs” alums Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison also try to help the hour’s “civilian” contestants win $25,000. Jane Lynch is the host.

± 8 p.m. ABC 7 Rookie Blue: Series regular Gregory Smith, alias Officer Dov Epstein, doubles as director again on the new episode “Heart Breakers, Money Makers.” Inspector Jarvis (Oliver Becker), the new man in charge at 15 Division, sends the cops out to confiscate anything bought with illegally acquired funds. ± 9 p.m. NBC 5 Last Comic Standing: Cheryl Hines continues as a mentor to the contestants in the new episode “Challenge 1 Sketch,” which has them showing their mettle at doing sketch comedy. It’s a different form than stand-up humor, as any “Saturday Night Live” player can attest.
