Local agencies plan for possible shutdown

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – As a state government shutdown looks all the more likely come Wednesday, nonprofits and social service agencies are weighing options if the money stops.

The budget impasse is causing anxiety among human and social service organizations – so often made pawns in Springfield budget battles – that rely on state contracts. Statewide, there’s the possibility of program reductions, staff layoffs, or closures if a budget deal isn’t reached by June 30 – the last day of the current fiscal year.

Others are considering taking out lines of credit or dipping into reserves to stay afloat as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and a Democrat-controlled Legislature remain at a stalemate over how to close a $6 billion budget gap.

This past week, Gov. Bruce Rauner vetoed the majority of Democrat-backed spending plan that’s about $4 billion in the hole, saying the budget was a gimmick and relied on

Easter Seals Joliet Region – which serves individuals with disabilities and special needs in Will and Grundy counties, while also providing at-home caregiving and foster services

– is one of many local organizations keeping a close eye on Springfield.

Debra Condotti, executive director, said she’s still optimistic that a spending plan

will emerge – eventually.

She’s been with Easter Seals for nearly 40 years, and it’s “always been a roller coaster” in regards to state funding.

“In the past, we scrambled to make payroll. It’s very difficult to maintain the confidence of the people that work in our organization in an environment like that. It’s difficult for the families to feel confident that you’ll be there for them,” Condotti said. “Our mission is to do whatever we can do to continue. If you want to keep commitments, what else can you do?”

In the meantime, Condotti and staff are considering “worse-case scenario” contingency plans that include borrowing on a $700,000 line of credit and dipping into reserves.

“We were just talking about that [Wednesday] morning, trying to decide how long [the line of credit] would carry us should we not receive payment,” Condotti said, adding that, mixed with other revenue sources, the move could

EVERGREEN TERRACE

LOCAL BRIEF

Proposal could cost city $70 million

Joliet wants bridge open for Nitro Nite

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Plans for the redevelopment of Evergreen Terrace include adding four stories to existing buildings and spending $70 million in city money on redevelopment.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he has instructed consultants and staff to come up with more alternatives before the City Council meets in a special session to review plans for redevelopment of the low-income housing complex.

The City Council is expected to decide sometime this summer whether it wants to buy Evergreen Terrace after winning a 10-year condemnation case in federal court. A federal jury set the price at $15 million.

Shaw Media file photo

The Evergreen Terrace housing complex is seen in the 300 block of North Broadway St. in Joliet.

O’Dekirk, since becoming mayor in May, called for a detailed plan on what city ownership and redevelopment of Evergreen Terrace would cost before Joliet decides whether to buy it.

The mayor said he has seen two redevelopment plans drawn up Holsten Real Estate Development, the city’s consultant on the project.

“I’ll be frank. I don’t think

any of them was a good plan,” O’Dekirk told the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce during a luncheon speech last week.

Later, the mayor said those plans include adding four floors to three of the Evergreen Terrace apartment buildings.

The city, he said, would have to come up with $70 million to fund redevelopment of the property.

“It doesn’t look good,” O’Dekirk said.

City Manager Jim Hock said the financial problem faced by the city is how to reduce the density of the 356-unit apartment complex without losing income from the property.

“The highest income you could get from the property is

JOLIET – City officials are asking the state to delay the scheduled closing of the Jefferson Street bridge in downtown Joliet so it is open for Nitro Nite on July 9.

The state has planned to close the downtown bridge on July 6 for a paint job that would be completed in mid-October.

City Manager Jim Hock said a letter was sent to the Illinois Department of Transportation on Friday.

“We just sent it out to [IDOT] after talking with them yesterday,” Hock said. “They didn’t think it would be a problem, but that was all verbal. I want it in writing.”

Nitro Nite is a street festival staged in conjunction with the NHRA Nationals held at Route 66 Raceway that weekend. The festival was held for the first time last year and drew an estimated 10,000 people downtown.

Coal City residents move forward into unplanned future

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD, VIKAAS SHANKER and KATE SCHOTT Shaw Media COAL CITY – Refujio Luevano sat Friday on the back porch of his home on Berta Road, looking out at what was, until last week, his new metal pole barn.

But after winds that reached 160 mph blew into the Coal City area just shy of 10 p.m. Monday, the metal doors are now twisted and tarps line the roof.

The destructive scene is cruelly familiar to Luevano and his wife, Raquel: On Nov. 17, 2013, the family’s home near the corner of Berta and Spring roads was one of the first homes struck by an EF2 tornado that ravaged the Diamond area.

On Monday, it was one of the last homes hit by the EF3 tornado that stormed into the Coal City area before it headed toward Braidwood. The twister indiscriminately ripped off siding and shingles from homes, shattering the lives of residents, as it wrought chaos throughout its 16-mile path of destruction.

The Luevanos moved into their newly built home just a couple of months ago. He never expected to be hit by a tornado again, Refujio Luevano said. As they huddled in the basement Monday night, he told Raquel what is supposed to happen, will happen.

“It’s just money. I don’t care about it,” he said about the damage.

“Life, you only have one.”

There was, thankfully, no loss of life from Monday’s tornado – the strongest to hit the region since an EF5 tornado struck Plainfield in 1990, killing 29 and injuring more than 350 people.

But there was massive destruction to the tangible – homes, businesses, fields, one of the village’s fire stations and the high school’s athletic com-

It was severe enough for Gov. Bruce Rauner to declare Grundy County a state disaster area.

An assessment done Thursday found 349 damaged properties are habitable, 375 are habitable with repairs needed, 106 are uninhabitable and 54 are lost completely. In nearby Braidwood, several homes and businesses were damaged, too.

That’s the obvious, though.

Harder to see are the invisible holes and bruises to people’s souls and psyches.

There is exhaustion after repeated nights of little sleep.

losing so much in just seconds.

Carin George said her family was just tired. Carin, her

boyfriend Garii Paap, and his daughter visited Friday the Multi-Agency Resource Center at St. Mary Assumption Parish.

Their home was destroyed; Garii and his daughter survived only by heading to the crawl space.

“We’re done,” George said.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – The basement of Vanessa Calderon’s home on Division Street hasn’t stopped flooding since the tornado swept through Coal City late Monday night.

On Friday afternoon, she was waiting for someone to assist her at the Multi-Agency Resource Center coordinated by the American Red Cross at Berst Hall of the St. Mary Assumption Parish, 195 S. Kankakee St. in Coal City.

“I have no hot water,” she said. “We pumped water out but it keeps on coming up through the drains. I’m hoping somebody can come and check it out.”

Calderon was one of many that waited, sometimes for several hours, to get the specific help they needed Friday, when the Multi-Agency Resource Center, or MARC, opened at noon.

The MARC is a “one-stop shop” that acts a central source of information for residents whose lives were affected by the storm, said Ken Cozzi, executive director of the area chapter Red Cross.

Tables were manned by representatives from service organizations and businesses like Comcast, Prairie State Legal Services, We Care of Grundy County, Grundy County Health Department and the St. Vincent de Paul Society.

Other organizations included HOPE comfort dogs, “Walking The Road to Emmaus” children’s books and clothing, the Pregnancy Resource Center, and the Tai Chi Foundation.

Residents sat down with Red Cross case managers, who worked with them to figure out what services they needed, from shutting off cable service to reissuing lost driver’s licenses.

“We want to make it as least stressful as possible,” Cozzi said. “The goal is by the

time they go through, they learn or get help with something they didn’t even think about.”

Cozzi, who has helped set up MARCs during tornado crises in other local areas, said the case workers also helped residents with longterm planning.

“The people need to have the opportunity to talk and get their questions answered,” said Coal City Mayor Terry Halliday, who viewed the MARC when it opened but quickly headed off to the rural eastern side of town where damage also occurred.

The MARC was to continue through the weekend, opening from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday and 8 a.m. to noon

ON THE COVER

CORRECTION

Several dozen volunteers swarm a field near Richards Crossing in Coal City on Friday while helping clean debris from a home that was destroyed in a tornado Monday.

​In the article, “6 men, 2 women join Joliet police force” that was on page 8 of the Thursday, June 25, 2015, edition of The Herald-News, Jim Clendening’s title was incorrect. Clendening is a police sergeant with the village of Indian Head Park. The number given for the pre-recession headcount for the Joliet Police Department also was incorrect. The Joliet Police Department now has 272 officers, down from a pre-recession number of 302.

The Herald-News regrets the errors.

Sunday. But it will likely not remain after that, at least as a large physical center.

“It’s difficult to coordinate so many these agencies – employees from these places who are working on the weekends – to be at one place,” Cozzi said.

Cozzi said the MARC started in the aftermath of the 2013 Diamond tornado. It was also set up to help victims of the Rochelle and Fairdale tornado in April.

“It’s very effective and helpful,” Cozzi said.

In the past, the Red Cross has set up what Cozzi calls “mini-MARCs” to help with victims of large structure fires that damage multiple home units like apartments.

Taste of Joliet brings back memories Ends 7 p.m. Sunday

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Some people have long memories when it comes to Taste of Joliet.

The Joliet Park District, which runs the event that ends at 7 p.m. Sunday, has marketed it as the 10th Taste of Joliet. But that’s in the modern era, so to speak.

Heidi Domark of Plainfield has a vivid memory of the earlier series of Taste of Joliet events that ran from the mid1980s to 1996.

“My husband and I were dating, and we came here the very first time they had Taste of Joliet,” Domark said Friday as she sat with her daughter eating lunch during the noon hour.

“It’s nice,” Domark said.

“It’s a nice place to try out different foods around town that you’ve heard of but haven’t tried.”

Leah Cooper of Joliet likes Taste of Joliet for the same reason, although she would like to see more local restaurants with booths at the event.

“I have never really come for the music,” she said.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

David Hernandez of Genoa Italian Concessions cooks Italian sausages Saturday at the Taste of Joliet.

But she has come for many years, including when the Taste was held downtown in the 1980s.

“Last year, I ran into a lot of people I hadn’t seen for years – people I grew up with,” Cooper said.

Just meeting people you haven’t seen for a while is one of the attractions of Taste, even

though the music has become the center of attention. Since the Taste was revived in 2006, the park district has made it a point to pursue nationally known acts, such as Big & Rich, the headliner for the Taste’s country music day Saturday.

Lonnie Wren of Shorewood said he typically comes every year but not for the music. That

‘Purpose-led’ artwork

was changing this year because of Big & Rich, he said.

“We’re going to come back for Big & Rich,” Wren, a country music fan, said Friday. He only lives minutes away from Joliet Memorial Stadium, and, “It’s really nice to have something like that local.”

A dozen acts were scheduled to perform on the Taste stage

throughout the weekend.

The Sunday line-up is headlined by Plain White T’s at 5 p.m. preceded by Skinny Williams at 1:30 p.m. and Big Dog Mercer at 3 p.m.

Admission on Sunday is $10 at the gate, down from $15 on Friday and Saturday.

During the first three hours of Taste on Friday, there was no charge for admission. But not everyone was completely happy.

Shorty Dunnagan of Joliet said he came because he promised to bring his son to the carnival. But, raising his plastic cup while finishing a $5 lemon shake-up, Dunnagan said, “The prices are too high.”

Sue Wren of Shorewood noted that a couple of vendors were not ready to do business when Taste opened at noon Friday.

But Ted Zelinski was a Taste booster.

“This place is awesome,” Zelinski said, pointing to the 27 food booths that lined the track at Memorial Stadium and complimenting the park district staff on keeping the grounds clean.

“We try to come every year,” Zelinski said. “It’s something to do. It’s really great to have something like this that brings people in.”

QUICK NEWS Free laundry offered to Coal City residents

PATH OF RESTORATION COAL CITY – A tornado may have left a large path of destruction in Coal City on Monday, but nothing seems to stop this community from uniting to put the homes and lives of those affected back together.

Families affected by the storm have spent the week searching through rubble and starting cleanup, and Friday, thousands of friends, neighbors and strangers joined their efforts.

Residents of Coal City search through their homes and vehicles while salvaging personal belongings Monday, after an EF3 tornado ripped though Grundy County.

There were minor injures reported but no fatalities.

Roberto Rodriguez ascends the stairs to what remains of the second story of his home Wednesday following Monday’s tornado in Coal City.

Generosity of spirit has been seen in the area • TORNADO Continued from page 3 “Yesterday, we all had our major breakdowns. We were all crying, arguing, hugging. I think it set in.”

Coal City Mayor Terry Halliday said he reminded staff many are getting weary.

“People are running out of the adrenaline they’ve had for four days,” he said Friday.

“People have got to vent. I tell [relief workers] to stay positive. People are going to realize what has happened and going to get depressed.”

Still, he has hope. He saw neighbors helping pick up debris. Volunteers organized into teams. Banks, businesses and other communities are pitching in on relief efforts. He praised Diamond Mayor Terry Kernc, who in 2013 was the one leading her town through a tornado’s destructive aftermath, for offering unconditional support.

“The attitude of the community has been unbelievable, and the amount of volunteers walking the streets is incredible,” Halliday said Friday.

Donations amid the debris

Large metal jaws bit Friday into what was left of the trees that once stood in the yard of Robert and Ruth Tomlinson’s Pheasant Lane home as machine operators from “D” Construction in Coal City grabbed debris and loaded it into trucks to be hauled away.

“Do you hear that sound?”

Ruth Tomlinson asked one of

the boys standing next to her.

“That’s what it sounded like when they were coming down.”

She left Morris at 9:15 p.m.

Monday after finishing work at Big R and made it home just before the tornado struck the house – which, along with the family’s cars and recreational vehicle, is gone.

“I cry every time I pull up to it,” she said. “This is the home we’ve had for 20 years.”

Despite the despair that followed, Ruth Tomlinson said the response has been wonderful.

“People are just so welcoming. They say, ‘Come into our house, what do you need?’ ’’ she said. “People I don’t even know tell me they are praying for me.”

The generosity has been bestowed in multiple forms: As of 1 p.m. Saturday, $24,000 had been donated to the disaster relief fund set up by the Community Foundation of Grundy County. Nearly 2,000 volunteers showed up Friday to help with the first day of mass cleanup efforts.

Photographs, documents and other important papers are being collected by the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce in hopes of reuniting them with their owners. From 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday, Coal City tornado families can get their laundry done for free at the Sparkle Laundromat, 692 E. Division St. in Coal City.

Cleanup volunteers were first allowed in Coal City on Friday

COVER STORY | The Herald-News

• TORNADO Continued from page 10

Lending a hand

Friday was the first official day volunteers were allowed in the village to help with cleanup work. Thousands – from businesses, organizations or on their own – came with the simple goal of helping however they could.

In the yards and fields throughout Coal City, wearing neon orange and yellow vests, they worked tirelessly in the rain to get items to the curbs to be hauled away.

“We have over 100 volunteers here,” said Megan Borchers, communications manager at Exelon’s LaSalle Station. “We have come to help our neighbors and our co-workers. With three stations nearby, many of our employees live in this area.”

The outskirts were the focus Friday, as Mayor Halliday said several areas remain restricted from because of potential dangers. Many of the affected areas are older neighborhoods that have large trees more than 100 years old, and above-ground electric lines, instead of buried as in newer

and Coal City United Methodist Church – are serving as drop-off points for needed items like cleaning supplies and toiletries.

And the need is urgent: As of 9:30 a.m. Friday, the American Red Cross had provided 60 overnight stays and 2,234 meals, 450 snacks, 35 mental health contacts, and seven mobile food trucks were helping feed people in the area, Joliet native and Red Cross board member Jay Bergman said.

Those efforts got a boost Friday afternoon when ExxonMobil, which has a refinery in the area, presented $50,000 to the Red Cross to assist with relief efforts. Second Line Supervisor Chris Caldwell noted 45 to 50 employees were affected by the tornado.

“We’re a family,” Tricia Simpson, the company’s Government and Public Affairs manager, said of why corporate leaders immediately approved the donation. “We’re part of a much bigger community.”

Volunteers went first to Diamond Banquet Hall to be bused into the village, Braidwood and unincorporated areas near Spring and Berta roads. The hall served a similar purpose after the November 2013 Diamond tornado.

“I have to. You have to.

There is no choice,” said Donna Wharrie, daughter of owner Warren Brainard. She noted the building can accommodate many but is out of the way of other workers.

Ann Stephens and her 14-year-old daughter, Johanna, of St. Charles were two such volunteers.

“It’s a better use of my time than what I would be doing today,” Johanna said.

Cleanup also was underway Friday at the Coal City Fire Protection District Fire Station 2. About 5,500 gallons of water were dumped into the station Monday night when a tower at the back of the building bent and was pushed through the roof, puncturing a reserve water tank, according to Lt. Nick Doerfler, the district’s Public Information

Several dozen volunteers gather supplies and safety vests Friday, while helping clean debris from homes that were destroyed in a tornado Monday in Coal City.

Officer.

Crews dismantled drop ceilings and dried floors where carpet already had been ripped up. Crews will work out of Station 1 until Station 2 is repaired.

Volunteering continued Saturday, although helpers

are asked to hold off Sunday.

Starting Monday, more than 70 trucks from mutual aid communities, private companies and volunteers will begin a four-day initiative to clear the streets of storm debris, according to village officials. All storm debris should be placed

at the curb by 8 p.m. Sunday as the coordination of multiple resources is only available for a short time.

Hopefully, the work done Friday and Saturday by volunteers assisted in that effort.

Groups like Boy Scout Troop 469 – which put in a four-hour shift Saturday – did what they could to lend a hand.

Patrol Leader Ben Doss said he made sure everyone participated equally to finish the job. It was the first time he’s seen the type of damage a tornado can do.

Doss’ father, Tim, a Troop 469 committee member, said the troop accomplished a lot – and it was important to have the young men provide community service following a devastating event.

While Ben Doss noted he felt bad for the families, he also knew there was something else he could do.

“I’m definitely going to pray for them.”

It’s not a guy with a book of matches, Randich said. Those firework displays are sometimes set up a day in advance and with synchronized ignition from a safe distance.

In Illinois, handheld fireworks, firecrackers, torpedoes, skyrockets, roman candles and

buzz bombs are prohibited, according to the American Pyrotechnics Association. Selling or using fireworks in Joliet and Morris is illegal, unless they have a permit.

“When you get into pyrotechnics, the cannons, the Roman Candles, the mortars – all that type of stuff they want to

shoot off with the visual effect and a big, loud boom, you need a license for that type of thing,” said Edgar Gregory, Joliet Police deputy chief.

The season of fireworks has already begun in Joliet.

Since May, Joliet police received 91 calls from residents complaining about fireworks, Gregory said. The police will have a fireworks detail targeting areas throughout Joliet to answer complaints, he said.

Fireworks safety tips

Randich said he recommends keeping children away from fireworks if residents decide to use them. They should

also have an active hose or water source nearby when igniting them. Once fireworks get started, “they can’t get blown out like a candle,” he said.

“When they go haywire, that’s not a time to go looking for water,” he said.

People should not experiment with homemade fireworks, never shoot them into metal or glass containers, never relight a dud firework or mix them with alcohol, according to the National Council on Fireworks Safety. They should also wear safety glasses and use fireworks in an outdoor area clear of buildings or vehicles.

Buyer beware: fireworks may be more explosive and hotter than they appear.

As the Fourth of July weekend draws near, some residents in Will and Grundy counties may be tempted to buy fireworks for their own visual delight – but fire officials warn fireworks pose a danger when not they’re not handled by licensed professionals.

Even sparklers, legal for consumer use in Illinois, can be dangerous. Joliet Fire Deputy Chief Ray Randich said when parents want to give their children a sparkler, they’re “handing them a stick that can get up to 1,800 degrees [Fahrenheit].”

That’s about 10 times hotter than boiling water.

In 2013, hospital emergency rooms nationwide saw about 11,400 people for fireworks-related injuries, according to the National Fire Protection Association. In 2011, fireworks caused about 17,800 reported fires, including 1,200 structure fires, 400 vehicle fires and 16,300 outside and other fires.

Randich said it would be better for people to watch professional fireworks display rather than conduct one in their own backyard.

“Their fireworks display has to be approved by the authority having jurisdiction or the town they’re going to be in.

There is a lot of work they got

Man found guilty in ’11 Joliet murder

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When Anthony Fearn was fatally shot June 9, 2011, outside the KO Zone Boxing Club, it was dark and there was a large crowd on the street.

Since that night, five witnesses have identified Lockport Township resident Jevon Lesley, 22, a member of the Vice Lords street gang known as “Guru,” as the man who fired the shot that struck Fearn, who had no gang involvement. But other witnesses said Lesley wasn’t Jevon Lesley there or was confused with another gang member. A woman testified Friday she was looking out her window down the block to see Fearn, 18, shot by a man with dreadlocks, which did not match Lesley’s short hairstyle.

A jury – all white, mostly middle-aged – took about five and a half hours Friday night to find Lesley guilty of first-degree murder. He faces 45 years to life in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Sept.

16, according to a news release from Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow.

“This was a vicious attack by a violent gangbanger who demonstrated a ruthless disregard for the sanctity of human life,” Glasgow said in the news release. “ ... This conviction takes a callous killer off our streets.”

Mallory Taylor was the final witness to testify in the four-day trial. Taylor “heard commotion” outside her apartment building on Arch Court, which is a short distance from the boxing club at 218 E. Cass St. and leaned out a third-floor window, she said Friday.

“Two men were fistfighting ... it looked like the shooter lost, he walked away, stopped by the garage pulled out a pistol [and] started shooting at everyone and anyone,” Taylor said. “He was standing with two other

guys. [I was] unable to see his face ... he had dreadlocks.”

Taylor choked back tears as she described Fearn as “the young kid” running up to another car and being pushed away by a passenger before he collapsed on the sidewalk.

“Do you wish you hadn’t seen that,” Will County Assistant Public Defender Jaya Varghese asked.

“God, yes,” Taylor sobbed.

Under cross-examination

by Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Tricia McKenna, Taylor admitted she was supposed to have worked at the boxing club that night to help serve drinks at the party.

“She’s asked two times in the 911 call ‘Did you see the shooter?’ and she said no,” McKenna told jurors.

After deliberating for three hours Friday night, jurors had Taylor’s 911 call played a second time.

“Do you see the shooter?” the dispatcher asks.

“No. It was a whole bunch of gang people outside,” she said. “I don’t know exactly who did it. I was looking out the window. I heard arguing.”

Taylor said she called 911, but did not speak with police officers investigating the shooting because she’s “not a snitch.”

“Snitching” was referenced several times during closing arguments as prosecutors asked jurors why their witnesses would risk their safety to identify Lesley and the public defenders asked what those witnesses had to gain.

“In gang culture, you don’t get in trouble for snitching for lying, it’s for telling the truth,” Assistant State’s Attorney John Connor said.

But Assistant Public Defender Stephen Whitmore noted one witness gave five different versions of the story and another offered to snitch on Lesley in order to have his own drug charges dismissed.

Fearn was a student at Joliet West High School, who worked part time at Kohl’s and was an instructor at SUDA Mixed Martial Arts.

After graduating with distinction, Davis was a third round draft pick of the professional Chicago Cardinals in 1952 (now the Chicago Bears), but declined the contract offer in order to continue his education and coaching. He continued as assistant freshman coach in 1952 and 1953, and advanced to become IU’s varsity backfield coach in 1954.

John later moved to the Joliet area and embarked on a long career with the Joliet Township High Schools where he held numerous teaching, coaching and administrative positions, including Dean of Students and Vice Principal. Upon retiring, John served as the Assistant Athletic Director for Indiana University. John was an avid outdoorsman and spent many summers running a boys summer camp, Ottawa Trails, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

The family would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to the staff of Sunny Hill Nursing Home and the Joliet Area Community Hospice Home for the compassion and care extended to John and his family.

Born on July 5, 1927 to parents John and Margaret (nee Dolsi), Alvin was a long time resident of Joliet before moving to Dallas, TX in 2007.

Al lived life to the fullest and embraced everything he loved, his country, heritage, town and children. He was proud to serve his country during World War II and enlisted in the U.S. Navy when he was only seventeen. He was honorably discharged as Seaman Second Class aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard and awarded the Victory, Asiatic Pacific Area Campaign and American Area Campaign medals.

He was the very definition of a man’s man with a personality larger than life and swagger like no other. Although everyone was drawn by his charisma and of course the AP factor, Al only showed his soft center to those who knew him best. He married Barbara Newkirk in 1956, and was father to their four children, who credit him daily for their self-confidence and teaching them to be fearless in all aspects of life.

Retired co-owner of Perella & Company Plumbing and Heating Contractors, currently owned and operated by his nephew, Jack Perella. Al was a Life member of the Plumbers and Pipefitters Union Local #422 (now 597) and served on the Apprentice Board for Local 422. He was also a member of Ingalls Park Athletic Club.

Preceded in death by his parents, John and Margaret; and brothers, Jack (U.S. Army Air Corp, killed in action over Germany in WWII) and twin, Melvin.

He was proud father and grandfather to sons, Vin (Pam) of Dallas, TX and Frank (Mikael) of Dallas, TX; daughters, Lisa Kulp (Robert) of Dallas, TX, and Lori Krebs (Robert) of Chicago; six grandchildren, Lauren, Jacquelyn, Brandon, Kathryn, Shelby and Cody; sistersin-law, Pat Perella of Joliet, IL and Gloria Rentschler of Dallas, TX; and numerous nieces and nephews also survive.

We are also forever grateful for Mauro Silva, Alvin’s caregiver who treated our Dad with the love and dignity as if he was caring for his own father.

In lieu of flowers, memorials in his name to Alzheimer’s Foundation of America, http://alzfdn.org would be appreciated.

Funeral Services and Interment at Mt. Olivet Cemetery will be held privately.

Arrangements by Fred C. Dames Funeral Home. For more information: 815-741-5500 or visit his Book of Memories at www.fredcdames. com

Patrick Macnee, star of ’60s TV series ‘The Avengers,’ dies LOS ANGELES – Patrick Macnee, the British-born actor best known as dapper secret agent John Steed in the long-running 1960s TV series “The Avengers,” has died. He was 93.

Macnee died Thursday of natural causes with his family at his bedside in Rancho Mirage, his son Rupert said in a statement.

Catherine Gale from 1962 to 1964, and Linda Thorson was Tara King from 1968 to 1969.

“We were in our own mad, crazy world,” Macnee told the Wichita Eagle in 2003 when “The New Avengers” was being issued on DVD. “We were the TV Beatles. We even filmed in the same studio.”

But while he made his name internationally playing a smart, debonair British secret agent, Macnee was never a fan of the James Bond movies.

“I think their stories aren’t that realistic,” he told Salt Lake City’s Deseret News in 1999. “I think the sadism in them is horrifying. ... On the other hand, the books – the James Bond books – were fascinating.”

Macnee nearly lost the role of Steed because of his aversion to violence. In a 1997 interview with The Associated Press, he recalled being told by producers that he would have to pack a gun on “The Aveng-

ers.”

“I said, ‘No, I don’t. I’ve been in World War II for five years and I’ve seen most of my friends blown to bits and I’m not going to carry a gun.’

The ASSOCIATED PRESS GURNEE – Illinois could soon become one of the few states with a law governing the use of specially trained dogs in courtrooms to comfort child victims of physical or sexual abuse while they testify.

The Legislature approved the bill and it’s now before the governor, according to local media reports Saturday.

One proponent is Lake County State’s Attorney Michael Nerheim, whose office in northern Illinois has a yellow Labrador retriever to comfort children while they’re being interviewed by prosecutors. He and the dog, named Mitchell, appeared before a state Senate committee in the spring to support the bill.

One of his investigators, James Magna, says children love to be able to reach down

Barry Kolanowski Senior Services Center of Will County executive director more [cuts] can we handle?

And we can’t,” he said. “[These services] can’t stop. People tell me all the time ‘This place means the world to me. I meet with friends here. We have all these activities here.’ For the people who make a lot of money, this might not mean a lot.

But for people living on fixed income, this is their life.”

He said residents who use the Senior Services Center of Will County often ask him how things are going. These days, he tells them things are improving at the center, but that the same can’t be said at the state level. “[I tell them] we’re doing good, but that the wild card is Springfield. We’re not sure what’s going to happen there,” Kolanowski said.

and pet Mitch and know he’s there during sometimes painful interviews at one of their offices in Gurnee.

“As soon as we get in an interview room, I hand over the leash to a child,” Magna told the newspaper. “It’s kind of symbolic, a way to let the child know they’re in control, when there’s many instances where they haven’t been that bring them here to this building.”

After being interviewed, one girl even drew a picture of herself with the dog and

if everyone in there is on Section 8 vouchers,” Hock said.

“But that’s the same as you have today.”

The city argued in federal court that Evergreen Terrace is an obsolete housing complex with too many apartments in too small a space.

But reducing the density means fewer apartments and less income, Hock said. That could lead to Joliet putting city funds into the project.

The main reason behind the idea for adding four stories to buildings on the site now is to create more space and reduce the housing density.

But expanding the buildings

likely is to create questions, since the city for years has said buildings would either be demolished or replaced with better housing.

City officials in the past also have contended that Evergreen Terrace could be redeveloped with income from the property and without the use of money from the city budget.

Hock said the special City Council meeting on Evergreen Terrace is tentatively scheduled for July 27.

When the city launched the condemnation lawsuit in 2005, there was unanimous support for condemning Evergreen Terrace on the City Council.

But more recently council members have questioned the cost of the project.

Michael Nerheim Lake County state’s attorney

wrote, “I love Mitch.”

Courthouses in many states have comfort dogs, but Illinois would be only the third with a law providing specific guidance to judges on their use.

Illinois’ law would lay out guidelines for using the animals to accompany those 18 or younger as well as developmentally disabled adults in some cases involving sexual abuse or exploitation.

Dogs would have to remain quiet and out of sight of the jury at a witness’ feet.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office would not say whether the Republican will sign the bill.

A test run went well in May. Nerheim’s son played the role of a victim with Mitchell below him.

“Packed courtroom full of people and he just laid there and didn’t move the whole time,” Nerheim said.

last the nonprofit about six months.

A similar game plan is in the works at the Senior Services Center of Will County, but the situation is more complex with the nonprofit having maxed out its $400,000 line of credit earlier this year.

The center has since paid down its line of credit to about $280,000, said Barry Kolanowski, who signed on as executive director last month after the previous longtime director was asked to resign amid the fiscal crisis.

Pulling from reserves and drawing against that same line of credit are options, but he’d rather see a state budget approved before Wednesday.

“Our state needs to get a handle on balancing the budget. In the end, it’s hard right now, but we’ll be stronger when it’s over,” Kolanowski said.

Having dealt with the recent fiscal crisis, the center is already bare-bones in regards to staff and operating expenses, he said.

Residents watching water rise, bracing for more rain

MEREDOSIA – Clear weather Saturday gave Illinois a chance to start drying out, but the effects of a week of consistent rain still were being felt and more rain could be on the way.

The Mississippi River was rising along much of Illinois’ western edge. The National Weather Service said the river is expected to crest near 40 feet Tuesday in St. Louis, just short of what’s considered major flooding.

Along the Illinois River in Meredosia in western Illinois, residents were relying on prisoners and volunteers to fill sandbags to keep rising water in check. The Illinois Emergency Management Agency said Saturday inmates were filling sandbags in other locations in

nearby Scott County, too.

Former employee sets fire to Chicago business; 1 hurt

CHICAGO – A former employee returned to a food-delivery business where he once worked and set it on fire, badly injuring one of its staff members.

Police said the enraged man in his 40s tossed computers and chairs around before dousing equipment with gasoline and lighting it on fire in Friday’s attack on the Northwest Side.

The Chicago Tribune reported a 44-year-old woman slipped on the gas and caught fire, suffering second-degree burns to around 25 percent of her body.

Fire Department spokesman Jeff Lyle said she was hospitalized in serious condition.

Police did not have a suspect in custody as of Saturday afternoon.

Study: ER visits for childhood food allergies up in state

CHICAGO – A new study finds increasing numbers of emergency room visits and hospital

stays for children with severe food-allergy reactions in Illinois.

The analysis of statewide hospital data shows 226 such ER visits and hospital stays in 2008. The number increased to 590 in 2012.

What’s driving the trend is unclear. The study shows increases among children regardless of their race, ethnicity or type of insurance.

Study co-author Dr. Ruchi Gupta of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine said one theory for a rise in food allergies is that children in industrialized nations live in too-clean environments and are not exposed to enough bacteria.

The study was published in Annals of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology and was supported by a not-for-profit group called Food Allergy Research and Education.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Referendum on ballot; USDA eyes healthier fare Greece’s future in balance for child, adult day cares ATHENS, Greece – Greece’s parliament voted early Sunday in favor of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’ motion to hold a July 5 referendum on creditor proposals for reforms in exchange for loans, with the country’s future in the eurozone increasingly shaky.

Tsipras’ surprise call stunned Greece’s international debt negotiators, and the country took a big step closer to falling out of the euro currency union after fellow eurozone member states refused to extend its bailout program past its expiry date on Tuesday, leaving Greece on the brink of financial chaos.

Greeks lined up outside banks for cash after Tsipras’ announcement early Saturday, after billions of euros already had been emptied in the preceding weeks.

Greece has a $1.8 billion debt due Tuesday to the International Monetary Fund, and its bailout program expires the same day, after which it is unclear how the country might survive financially.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – As teachers lament seeing toddlers too large to fit in playground swings, a federal program that feeds millions of low-income children may be overhauled for the first time in almost 50 years, aiming to make the meals at day cares healthier and reduce obesity.

About 3.8 million young children are fed daily through the Child and Adult Care Food Program, which primarily reimburses day-care providers, and also provides food for children in emergency shelters and pays for after-school meals or snacks in areas where at least half the students qualify for free- or reduced-price lunches.

Millions of more affluent children also are affected because at least 30 states require day cares to use the program’s nutrition guidelines to receive licenses. And about 120,000 elderly or disabled adults are fed each day.

– Wire reports

NEW YORK – Back in 1996, President Bill Clinton signed a law stipulating that the federal government would not recognize marriages between same-sex couples. On Friday night, the White House was illuminated with rainbow colors in celebration of the Supreme Court ruling legalizing such marriages in every state of the nation.

For gay-rights activists, the two decades between those moments were marked by a dramatic mix of setbacks and victories.

As recently as 2004, there was widespread despair among proponents as voters in 13 states approved constitutional amendments banning same-sex marriage. Some activists questioned whether marriage equality was a realistic goal. Others, while wary of appearing too optimistic, suggested gay marriage might take hold by 2020.

“In that climate, it sounded ambitious and bold, but it rallied a critical mass of leaders to believe maybe it was attainable,” said Evan Wolfson, president of the advocacy group Freedom to Marry that played a key role in developing the campaign’s strategies.

That once audacious timetable proved to be overcautious. As more gay people came out of the closet, more of their relatives and acquaintances became supportive of gay rights. Popular TV shows such as “Will and Grace” and

AP file photo

People gather Friday in Lafayette Park to see the White House in Washington, D.C., illuminated with rainbow colors in commemoration of the Supreme Court’s ruling to legalize same-sex marriage.

“Modern Family” accelerated acceptance with empathetic portrayals of gay characters.

Opinion polls over the past 10 years showed a huge shift in attitudes toward same-sex marriage, which is now supported by 55 to 60 percent of Americans.

And over the past two years, a series of state and federal court rulings fueled hopes of imminent victory.

U.S. District Judge Robert Shelby alluded to the public opinion shift in his December 2013 ruling striking down Utah’s ban on gay marriage as unconstitutional. “It is not the Constitution that has changed, but the knowledge of what it means to be gay or lesbian,” he wrote.

The 2004 election, which dismayed gay-rights activists at the time, “was a last rearguard effort in a losing fight,” according to Tobias Barrington Wolff, a professor

Commercial Banking Is Our Specialty!

at the University of Pennsylvania Law School.

“The progress that followed built on victories in legislatures, victories in courts, and on the growing public consensus that there is no good reason to treat LGBT people as second-class citizens,” he said in an email Saturday. “That consensus was not imposed by judges; rather, it helped to educate judges and make visible the claim of equal citizenship that the Supreme Court finally vindicated.”

President Barack Obama, who endorsed gay marriage in 2012, paid tribute to the persistence of its supporters in his remarks Friday hailing the Supreme Court decision.

“Sometimes two steps forward, one step back,” he said.

“And then sometimes there are days like this, when that slow, steady effort is rewarded with justice that arrives like a thunderbolt.”

Most good stocks deliver much better than bonds Dear Mr. Berko: We met when you spoke in Oklahoma City in 2001. You told me to buy 50 shares of Apple at $22. I did.

Now, after two splits, I have 700 shares, and that good luck seemed to follow in my business. I am 54 and have been a self-employed interior decorator for 27 years.

The past dozen years have been exceptionally good for my clients and me.

However, my stockbroker is one of those fellows who goes by the book, so I know his answer to my question before he responds. He recommends that I have 60 percent of my $260,000 retirement portfolio in stocks and 40 percent in bonds.

And because I plan to retire in 12 years, he has started buying bonds in my retirement account. But I have $53,000 in cash with which I don’t have to go by the book and can afford to be really risky. I would like to have some fun.

I know there are stocks paying 10 to 25 percent, and I’d like to invest that $53,000 in some high-yielding stocks you think can continue to pay 10 percent and will still be around 10 years from now.

I would appreciate your recommendations. – SR, Oklahoma City Dear SR: Your broker was

probably an actuary in a previous incarnation.

It’s been my experience that folks who go by the book lead very boring lives, have very boring wives and will never enjoy a beer at the Porthgwidden Beach Cafe in St. Ives.

Going by the book is for folks who are not spontaneous, who lack creativity, won’t take chances, have weird friends and need an authority figure for guidance.

A portfolio of 60 percent stocks and 40 percent bonds

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko when you retire – most good interior decorators never retire – is by the book and industrial-strength stupid. If you were retired today and 40 percent of your portfolio were in bonds, you’d be collecting food stamps, using Medicaid, applying for housing assistance and shopping at Dollar Tree, The Salvation Army and flea markets.

Most good stocks deliver better inflation-adjusted returns than bonds; issues such as Procter & Gamble, AT&T, Johnson & Johnson, Verizon Communications, Exxon Mobil, Southern Co. and Consolidated Edison are only a few of the hundreds of common stocks, exchange-traded funds and mutual funds that have put bonds to shame and will continue to do so.

These issues raise their dividends annually, whereas bonds, which are fixed-income investments, are a very poor hedge against inflation because fixed income never increases.

Please be mindful you’re making a significant error in judgment if you allow this schnook to manage your retirement account by the book. Have a talk with him immediately, or find another broker who is not afraid of his own shadow.

If you can gargle with battery acid, swallow swords and wrestle alligators, then you qualify to own the following extremely risky issues: Calumet Specialty Products Partners (CLMT-$26.65) sells production chemicals for the oil and gas drilling industry and jet, diesel and auto fuels and lubricating oils

used for basic automotive, industrial and consumer goods.

The $2.74 dividend yields 10.4 percent, and CLMT should produce $5.7 billion in revenues next year.

CVR Partners’ (UAN$12.80) $1.80 dividend yields 14.1 percent. UAN distributes nitrogen fertilizer and ammonia products for agricultural and industrial companies. Revenue and earnings should improve in 2016, and UAN’s price may also improve.

Linn Energy (LINE-$10.17) is a $3.2 billion-revenue oil and gas company that recently cut its dividend, from $2.90 to $1.25, but yields 12 percent. It’s an interesting speculation.

American Capital Agency (AGNC-$19.74) invests in mortgage obligations for which the principal and interest are guaranteed by a government agency or a government-sponsored enterprise. Revenues have increased significantly. The $2.40 dividend yields 12.1 percent, and Wall Street has a 12-month target price of $23.

Northern Tier Energy (NTI-$25.01) operates a huge bakery, 165 company-owned convenience stores plus 95 franchised convenience stores (all with gas stations) under the SuperAmerica brand name. NTI is also an independent downstream energy company that operates a 455,000-barrel-a-day pipeline, and its $4.32 dividend yields 17.7 percent. The Street’s 12-month consensus is $28.50 to $34.

Please remember to reinvest all the dividends on these terribly rank speculations.

OUR VIEW

Bickering, lack of state budget threaten many Illinois schools will receive $269 million more from the State of Illinois in the coming school year after a school funding plan was signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

It’s encouraging news, as it will provide more funding for our local schools, and should help to put a dent in budget deficits, which are becoming too common in area districts.

But after his decision Wednesday, Rauner the next day vetoed 19 budget bills that Democrats sent him. The measures added up to a spending plan that was as much as $4 billion short on revenue.

It’s appearing unlikely that a budget will be agreed upon before the new fiscal year starts July 1.

It’s aggravating a state funding problem that has been worsening for months. Here’s just one heartbreaking example: Jennifer Gabryena, chief executive officer for the Joliet-based Center for Disability Services, said the agency already has turned to private donors to fund wheelchair repairs for clients because state disbursements of Medicaid payments are not dependable.

That’s shameful.

The uncertainty this partisan bickering creates leaves nonprofit agencies and local governments worried as to what services they can offer should state funding dry up. Some service agencies may have to borrow money, or even shut their doors, if state lawmakers can’t get it together.

As we have said time and again, Illinois has real issues that require systemic reforms – not accounting tricks. Those reforms will not come easily.

The education funding is a somewhat positive sign: if the threat of school closures loomed, the temptation to resort to half-measures would be great.

But forgive us for not feeling giddy about it. Although this move represents the state doing only a slightly better job, it is still failing to meet its commitment to 2 million schoolchildren.

State lawmakers have not increased the “foundation level” for per-student funding since 2010. Lawmakers haven’t had to worry about increasing it in recent years, though because state hasn’t had the funds to pay even its share.

Last year, general state aid to schools was 89 percent of what funding formulas prescribed. This year, it will climb into the 90s.

It’s not good enough – just like virtually every other

Inspiration can be found in even the worst moments of destruction There are moments we wish we could forget.

The sounds of the wind tearing away roofs and uprooting trees heard late Monday as an EF3 tornado bore down on the Coal City area, for instance, or the sight of the destruction left in its wake, likely qualify as two of those moments for many local residents.

But the moments that followed are the ones we should remember. Moments like the heroism displayed by a neighbor digging out his friend from the wreckage. Or residents from the Fairdale and DeKalb County area paying it forward by donating items given to them after their own devastating tornado in April. Or the hundreds (if not thousands) of volunteers who showed up

VIEWS Kate Schott Friday to assist in clean-up efforts.

I have never enjoyed covering natural disasters – and the pain, destruction and uncertainty that come with them – such as the one that stormed into our community last week.

But the immediate aftermath of such disasters always leaves me inspired.

Can you imagine the week local emergency responders and law enforcement officials have had? I doubt many have gotten more than a few hours of sleep a night. They were there to rescue those trapped by

rubble, to direct traffic around dangerous fallen power lines and to keep out the few shameless people who thought they would profit from the grief of others by attempting to loot the area.

There were the numerous selfless public servants and nonprofit agencies who immediately sprang into action; they started raising money, collecting needed supplies and put into place rules and regulations that will allow them to quickly and aggressively address the immediate needs of those most affected.

And there are countless acts of kindness we likely will never hear about from people both near and far who found some

Don’t know which way scales of justice will tip

To the Editor: Will County seems to have it’s own selected and unique system of logic and “justice.”

A man struck his wife in the head with a hammer and she died. But “she might have died of a heart attack anyway” so he only gets three years behind bars (probably half with good behavior), for letting her lay on the floor for a week and a half without reporting her death.

A scenario too far-fetched for a novel. This same man was out on bail for five years while awaiting trial.

Drew Peterson sat in jail for five years because his bail was set so high he couldn’t afford it.

Both cases involved a deceased spouse. The death of Peterson’s wife was originally ruled accidental. Why wasn’t anyone brought to task for committing that error? Peterson wasn’t the one who signed the death certificate.

Now Peterson’s pension is in jeopardy of being terminated because “he used his police knowledge to kill his wife.” Talk about grabbing at straws.

And on the other hand Peterson is accused of plotting to have his prosecutor murdered, from his penitentiary cell.

Someone with all that “police knowledge” didn’t realize that everything he communicated from inside was being monitored by prison staff? I’m not a cop and never have been locked up, but even I know that much.

The contradiction is senseless.

Peterson’s probably guilty and right where he belongs but someone (or more) in high places sure seemed to be exercising a personal grudge.

Keep your nose clean in this

jurisdiction because you never know which way the scales of justice might tip.

Kindness after tornado appreciated To the Editor: I would like to thank John and Cathy Dixon, owners of the Polka Dot in Braidwood, for their wonderful act of kindness.

The day after the tornado I was helping good friends of ours and their neighbors in Braceville cut up large downed trees blocking their driveways.

Cathy came out with hamburgers, fries, and drinks for all of us from the Polka Dot. How thoughtful. I don’t know how she knew we were there or how many of us there was, but there was enough for everybody.

God bless them for their thoughtfulness. Our world needs more people like that.

How lucky we are to have such amazing people among us.

There is no way to erase the damage – to both the tangible physical structures and possessions and the invisible scars on people’s minds, bodies and souls – that happened in just minutes Monday.

To the Editor: Your newspaper seems to be repeatedly promote Governor Rauner’s pro-business agenda over the welfare of the workers who make this state work.

Businesses are important to any economy but cannot exist without workers, whether skilled or so-called unskilled.

Business owners have, for the most part, refused to accept the fact that their workers, who help make them successful, deserve fair compensation for the profits they help create.

Rauner’s decision to hold our economy hostage until he gets all of his business-friendly agenda approved, at the expense of the welfare of all of our worker, is reprehensible.

He thinks government should run like a business. Government was never meant to be run like a business. It’s very nature is to serve and protect all citizens.

One of his main goals is to gut workers compensation to benefit businesses over the

welfare of workers. He wants to limit the compensation a worker receives because of injuries caused by unsafe working conditions. Cutting the cost of WMC should start with putting limits on the profits insurance carriers can make.

Just like the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies should be limited to the amount they can charge for premiums based on the actual cost they pay out. Just like health care, insurance companies should not be able to get rich on the backs of businesses and injured workers. Cutting benefits for workers without cutting insurance premium will do nothing but hurt both business and workers. No business is going to cut profits unless forced to do so. Force insurance companies to spend 90 percent of the premiums on the injured worker. Cost will go down for businesses. Of course, Rauner will never go for this idea.

Rauner is upset because he is unable to destroy unions. He even put some of the leaders of

COAL CITY TORNADO CLEANUP

Morris football team lends helping hand

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Among the myriad volunteers showing up Friday at the Diamond Village Hall to help out with cleanup from Monday’s tornado in Coal City was a busload from Morris made up of the Redskins’ football team.

Morris and Coal City had been scheduled to play one other in a 7-on-7 competition, but Monday’s destructive tornado changed that.

The players from Morris put on work clothes instead of football helmets and pitched in to help a devastated neighborhood as best they could.

“When we closed our workout yesterday and told the kids that this is what we were going to do today, there were smiles on their faces,” Morris football coach Alan Thorson said. “They wanted to do this.

“Not only the kids, but the coaching staff as well.

We brought the varsity team over first, and when we leave, the sophomore team is coming. We are kind of doing it in waves. Between the varsity and sophomore teams, we will have put in eight hours over here.”

The Morris team was sent to Trotter Drive, and its work consisted of moving the seemingly endless amount debris from yards to the curb so the many trucks picking up debris could load it and get it out of the neighborhood.

“This is more important than throwing a football around,” Morris senior Kyle Overton said. “It was pretty scary pulling up and seeing all of this. There are people whose homes are totally destroyed.

“We are just going through yards and picking up tree branches or whatever else is there and taking it to the curb.

They don’t want us going into the houses and touching any personal stuff, but there’s a lot to do in the yards.”

The reality of the situation hit home for many of the players when they were dropped off near the home of Greg and Tiffany Wills. Tiffany Wills is a teacher at MCHS.

Morris offensive linesman Alec Leasure uses a sledgehammer to break a piece of plywood wall Friday during relief efforts in Coal City.

“This is more important than throwing a football around. It was pretty scary pulling up and seeing all of this. There are people whose homes are totally destroyed.”

Kyle Overton Morris senior football player

Morris football players lift a plywood wall from its base Friday while helping out in Coal City.

“Yeah, we got out right in front of Mrs. Wills’ house. She was crying a little bit,” Overton said.

“It’s like something you see in a movie,” said Jake Webb, another Morris team mem-

ber. “I knew it was bad from seeing pictures and stuff. My uncle lives in Coal City, and he had trees down, but I never imagined it would be like this.

“Everyone on the team wanted to come help. There

are a lot of people struggling, and we can do more good here than on a football field.”

For Thorson, the decision to help was a no-brainer.

“I called [Coal City football coach] Lenny [Onsen] yesterday and offered to help,” he said. “We knew we wouldn’t play our 7-on-7, and I thought this was the right thing to do, at this point, for these people.

They need help, and we have

85 strong bodies that are willing to come help.

“I think it’s great for our kids to help out. It helps them get a little perspective that kids their age don’t always have. Football is as important to us as it is to anyone, but there are bigger things in the world. We want our kids to not only be good football players, but to be better men.

I can’t think of a better thing for our kids to be doing.

“When we got out of the bus in front of Tiffany Wills’ house, I think it hit home for our kids that this isn’t just a Coal City issue. (MCHS superintendent) Dr. (Pat) Halloran lives in this neighborhood, Mr. Copes, Mrs. Wills. They are teachers at our school. A lot of the guys went to Saratoga and had Mr. (Matt) Blaine as a teacher, and his parents live right here where we’re working.

“It affects everyone.”

‘Failing makes you push harder’ • PLAYER OF YEAR

Continued from page 39 softball goes further than high school or college.

“Softball is such a mental sport,” Van Geertry said. “Playing it helps you out so much more than you think in the real world. For hitters, you fail more times than you actually succeed. That helps you stay positive. You take those aspects to the real world and know that you don’t have to succeed all of the time to be having a good time. Failing makes you push harder.”

FOND MEMORIES

Van Gennep and Van Geertry are one step closer to the real world. In August, they will be off to college, leaving Lincoln-Way East behind. Both will have fond memories of their times at East and with their teammates.

“You don’t realize it until after it’s over,” Van Gennep said. “I didn’t realize it last year when we went down to state because I had another year. I thought, ‘We made it down to state.

We got fourth,’ like it was no big deal. This year, I definitely realized that we came so far, and it’s truly amazing that we got there.

We got second place.”

Even though both are excited to go to their respective colleges, it’ll be hard for them to find a locker buddy who’s so special.

“People made fun of me because I walk on my toes,” Van Geertry said. “I’m a toe walker. Every time I’m happy, I walk higher. When I see Nikole at her locker, I walk really high. I hop to my locker, and I don’t even realize it. Every time I see Nikole, I know it’s going to be a good day.”

But we all knew that we were a great team, and we just weren’t playing up to our potential.

And now I feel like we’re starting to peak at the right time.”

In the second game, the Slammers overcame a 2-0 deficit in the first inning by scoring twice in the second and third and adding another run in the fourth to grab a 5-2 lead.

Russell Moldenhauer doubled in Joliet’s first run, and Alfredo Rodriguez hit a sacrifice fly to tie the score. An inning later, White led off with a single, then Nate Roberts smacked a home run to right. In the fourth, Rodriguez collected his first home run of the season on a blast to left.

But Normal (21-16) countered with a pair of two-out hits in the fifth to tie the score at 5 against starter Hunter Ackerman, who exited at that point. Kubiak only allowed one hit over the final 2 1⁄ 3 innings to pick up the win.

In the sixth, White (2 for 4) delivered a two-strike, twoout single up the middle to drive home a pair of runs and give the Slammers a 7-5 lead.

Roberts and Garza (2 for 4) both reached on infield errors to conclude the scoring.

Joliet Slammers manager Jeff Isom, team members and staff help Friday with tornado cleanup efforts in Coal City.

“It’s a long season, and we’ve had our ups and downs, so it’s nice to have a little winning streak,” White said. “It

feels good to be playing good baseball all-around, getting pitching, defense and timely hitting.

While the Slammers didn’t play Friday, several members of the organization were busy helping out with the tornado cleanup efforts in Coal City.

Ken Miller, the Slammers’ director of community relations, who has lived in Coal City for more than 40 years and was a longtime teacher and coach in the community, talked about the response from so many.

“It’s hard to imagine it until you see it,” Miller said of the damage. “You see pictures of it, and you see it on TV, but once you’re there, it’s unbelievable. We were very thankful and fortunate that there were no lives lost.

Buildings can be repaired, but lives can’t, and that’s such a big thing.

“I’ve been there since 1972, and it’s a wonderful place. I’m so thankful that the community is pulling together again.

Someone made the comment about how could God let that happen. And I said, ‘God wasn’t in that tornado, God is what’s happening right now with everyone working hard and helping.’ ” Manager Jeff Isom and his wife, seven or eight players and a couple salespeople helped out in the cleanup efforts, according to Miller.

“Everyone was wonderful,” Miller said. “They came and worked all morning and just did a great job. But that’s what the Slammers are all about as an organization. We want to be out in the community, and if people have a need, we want to help them.

“They didn’t do it for the attention – they did it because it’s the right thing to do. We’ve had Coal City nights here for the last four years, and Jeff said that they’ve given to us, so it’s nice to be able to give back something to them.”

JOLIET – After completing a surprising road sweep over Schaumburg, the Joliet Slammers returned home hoping to continue their recent winning ways.

A Friday rainout resulted in two seven-inning Frontier League games Saturday against Normal. And while things didn’t start out well for Joliet in either contest, they finished in a good fashion.

The Slammers overcame an early 4-0 deficit to capture a 6-4 victory in the opener over the CornBelters, then scored four runs in the sixth to win 9-6 in the nightcap before 2,026 fans at Silver Cross Field.

In Game 1, Normal scored three runs in the first and added one more in the third to grab a 4-0 lead against starter Kevin Walter, who went five innings to pick up his first victory with the Slammers.

Joliet (17-21), which owns the league’s current longest win streak, got two runs back in the third when Hunter Ridge (2 for 3) collected a twoout single to drive in Charlie White and Phil Bates (2 for 4).

Then in the fifth, Max Casper and White drew leadoff walks before Bates put down a sacrifice bunt. An errant throw into the bullpen generated the third run, then Mike Garza grounded out to tie the score.

Ridge followed with an RBI single to right, and Jack Cleary contributed a two-out double to left to close out the scoring. Ridge, who entered with four RBIs, collected three during the contest.

David Kubiak pitched the sixth inning, and Navery Moore threw in the seventh to get his seventh save. The pair didn’t allow a hit, and each recorded a strikeout.

“To get the second win to win that last series was important, but then to sweep it was even better,” Ridge said.

“We carried it over from two nights ago, and we’ve kept hitting the ball, and our pitchers have been doing really well.

“I know that we’re 30-some games in, but it’s just taken

Lockport’s Richaun Holmes (center) joins fellow Philadelphia 76ers draft picks Jahlil Okafor (left) and J.P. Tokoto at a news conference Saturday at the 76ers practice facility in Philadelphia.

NBA DRAFT

Lockport’s Holmes eager to show he belongs in NBA

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com Not many people had heard very much about Richaun Holmes on the basketball court prior to his senior season at Lockport in 2010-11.

But only four years after that breakout season for the Porters, he has joined prestigious company as one of the few players from this area ever to be selected in the NBA Draft.

The Bowling Green State University standout was the 37th player selected Thursday night in the draft, going early in the second round to the Philadelphia 76ers.

He was the second of five players selected by the 76ers, joining Duke’s Jahlil Okafor (third pick), BC Zalgiris’ (Lithuania) Arturas Gudaitis (47th), North Carolina’s J.P. Tokoto (58th) and Mega Crvena Zvezda’s (Serbia) Luka Mitrovic (60th).

Holmes became the first Bowling Green player drafted since Antonio Daniels in 1997 and the first draft selection from a school in the Mid-American Conference since 2003.

“I’m just going to work hard and be a contributor to the team,” Holmes said

in a story that appeared on Bowling Green’s athletics website. “I’m going to keep working and keep doing the things that got me here and even more so now. I’m going to continue to work hard to show people that I belong in the NBA.” He is the second Lockport graduate to be selected in the NBA Draft during recent years. Alando Tucker, an All-American and Big Ten Player of the Year while at the University of Wisconsin, was chosen 29th in the 2007 draft by the Phoenix Suns.

After entering Lockport as a 5-foot-9 athlete and seeing limited playing time during his first three years, Holmes averaged 11.0 points, 7.2 rebounds and 4.1 blocks as a 6-6 senior.

He earned NJCAA Division II All-America honors while playing one year at Moraine Valley Community College, where he averaged 19.3 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.2 blocks.

During his three seasons at the Division I school in Bowling Green, Ohio, he became the first Falcons player to score 1,000 points, collect 600 rebounds and block 200 shots. He finished as the school’s career leader in blocked shots with 244.

This past season, the 6-10 forward was selected as the MAC’s Defensive Player of the Year and also a first-team All-MAC selection. He led the 21-12 Falcons in points (14.7), rebounds (8.0), blocks (2.7) and field goal percentage (.563).

A year ago, he set his school’s season mark for blocked shots (88), and he also holds the second- and third-best totals in that category. He finished his career ranked seventh in field goal accuracy (.554) and 11th in rebounds (652), and he scored 1,089 points.

After earning a spot on the all-tournament team at the Portsmouth Invitational before scouts and coaches in April, Holmes took part at the NBA Draft combine in May and worked out for 16 separate teams during the past two months.

“The whole process has been really great,” Holmes said. “You know, just getting the opportunity to compete with different players in front of different teams. Sometimes, I have actually even forgotten what city I am in because I’ve been flying around, working out and getting a chance to compete.

“It has been hectic, but it has definitely been fun.”

SUNRISE, Fla. – The Chicago area has seen a tremendous rise in youth hockey during the Blackhawks’ resurgence, and it again was noticeable at the NHL Draft. Wayne-native Christian Fischer was taken at No. 32 overall by the Arizona Coyotes, and the Hawks took two players with Chicago ties – third-round pick and Buffalo-native defenseman Dennis Gilbert played for the USHL’s Chicago Steel this past season, and sixth-round pick Roy Radke is a winger from Geneva.

The Hawks made West Dundee’s Ryan Hartman their first-round pick in 2013, and he reached the NHL this past season.

“It says a lot about the Chicago area that kids are coming in to play hockey, and at the same time, kids are being developed [here] and going somewhere else to play hockey,” Hawks director of amateur scouting Mark Kelley said.

“If you look at it, we probably didn’t take the most kids from Chicago in the draft.”

Both Fischer and Gilbert will play at Notre Dame. In fact, they live across the hall from one other in South Bend.

“The youth programs have taken off [in Chicago] tremendously, and I think a lot is due to the Blackhawks,” Fischer said. “The kids go to the games and they see the whole deal there, and they just get excited and they want to play.

The youth programs have taken off. There are four travel teams there that are producing top talent every year, and there’s a lot of guys coming into the league now from Chicago – the Ryan Hartmans, those type of players from Chicago-based programs. So I think the Hawks have a lot to do with that.”

Gilbert, a self-described puck-moving defenseman who occasionally has skated with Patrick Kane back in Buffalo in the past, got a taste of life in Chicago with the Steel, with whom he had four goals and 23 assists in 59 games. Radke,

Rangers acquire goalie Raanta from Blackhawks SUNRISE, Fla. – The New York Rangers have acquired goaltender Antti Raanta in a trade with the Blackhawks for forward Ryan Haggerty.

The Rangers also traded Cam Talbot to Edmonton on Saturday, leaving an opening at goaltender behind Henrik Lundqvist.

The 26-year-old Raanta was 7-41 with a .936 save percentage and 1.89 goals-against average in 14 games for the Stanley Cup champion Hawks last season.

Haggerty, 22, had 15 goals and 18 assists last season with Hartford in the American Hockey League.

Raanta is 20-9-5 in 39 career games, all with the Hawks. He made his NHL debut in 2013.

who had nine goals and nine assists for Barrie in the OHL last season after two strong seasons at Shattuck-St. Mary’s Prep, is a big Hawks fan.

“It’s a dream come true, obviously, to get drafted by any team,” Gilbert said. “But being in Chicago last year and experiencing the city and the area and really getting acclimated with the area makes it that much more special. I’m just very excited to be a Blackhawk.”

Knott a good pick: Duncan Keith was the 54th pick in the 2002 NHL Draft. Graham Knott was the 54th pick in the 2015 draft. Good luck living up to that one, kid.

“That’s definitely going to be tough,” Knott said with a smile after the Hawks selected him in the second round. “But, hopefully, I can make a name for myself.”

Knott, a 6-3, 180-pound left wing out of Ontario, posted 25 goals and 18 assists in 59 games with Niagara of the OHL last season, where he’ll return in the fall. Kelly said the Hawks were “very, very high” on him, and that he was one of their top targets coming into the draft.

Cardinals become first team to 50 wins; Cubs’ slide at 4 games

By STEVE OVERBEY The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – Michael Wacha pitched six solid innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cubs, 8-1, on Saturday night to become the first major league team with 50 wins.

Jason Heyward reached four times in St. Louis’ fifth straight victory. The major league-best Cardinals (50-24) have five winning streaks of five games or more this season.

Wacha (10-3) allowed one run and six hits, bouncing back from a rough start at Philadelphia. The right-hander was tagged for five runs and eight hits against the Phillies in his worst start of the season last Sunday.

The Cubs have lost four in a row after a four-game winning streak.

Cubs right-hander Don

Roach (0-1) lasted just 31⁄3 innings in his major league appearance of the year. He was charged with four runs and eight hits while subbing for Tsuyoshi Wada, who has a sore elbow.

St. Louis improved to a major league-best 28-7 at home with their eighth consecutive win at Busch Stadium.

The Cardinals scored four runs in the fourth and fifth.

Heyward singled and scored on Yadier Molina’s double in the fourth, and walked and scored on Randal Grichuk’s double in the fifth.

Kolten Wong, Matt Carpenter and Xavier Scruggs each drove in two runs as St. Louis reached the 50-win mark before July for the first time in franchise history. Scruggs, who had three hits, gave the Cardinals the lead for good with a run-scoring single in the

fourth. Carpenter capped the inning with a two-run single.

Wong’s two-run double was the key blow in the fifth inning.

Roach drove in Starlin Castro with an RBI single in the second. Castro has hit safely in his last 12 games against St. Louis.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Cubs: OF Jorge Soler, who has been out since June 3 with a left ankle sprain, will likely start a minor league rehabilitation assignment early next week. Soler is on the 15-day disabled list.

Cardinals: LHP Jaime Garcia, who suffered a groin cramp running the bases in his last start, will not take his scheduled turn on Tuesday. He skipped a bullpen session Saturday and could return to the rotation as early as Wednesday.

Living the full life

Joliet motivational speaker wants seniors to embrace new experiences Know more

By DAWN AULET Shaw Media correspondent SHOREWOOD – Rufus Stephens has run seven 5Ks in the past nine months simply because one of his co-workers was looking for someone to join in.

It’s this Shorewood man’s way of practicing what he preaches. An ordained minister and a motivational speaker, Stephens is fervently sharing this message: people who are older than 50 can live productive, vibrant lives.

To underscore that message, Stephens, who will be 67 in August, has created a motivational series called “50, Now What?” Stephens feels that people age 50 to 90 shouldn’t view their “golden years” in challenging terms – in fact, it’s quite the contrary.

“The irony is that they have never had as many assets,” Stephens said, “and that’s the time they tend to shut down.”

Having accumulated years of knowledge and experience, Stephens feels seniors are in the best position to write a book, start a business, or develop a passionate interest.

“Not to mention the fact that the meter is running on our existence,” Stephens said.

Leading by example

That’s what Stephens did.

In May, Stephens founded Raisin’ the Rufe Communications, his umbrella company for all his post-50 activities – public speaking, motivational speaking, book narration and voice-over.

Stephens also is working on a book – maybe. As one of five children raised solely by his mother, Stephens has considered telling her story, which is meaningful to him.

“My father moved on,” Stephens said, “and I have a mother who I like to lovingly refer to as a street fighter be-

Rufus Stephens, ordained minister and motivational speaker, encourages seniors to approach life in fresh and exciting ways.

“The irony is that they have never had as many assets, and that’s the time they tend to shut down.”

Rufus Stephens Shorewood motivational speaker cause she would do anything for her kids.”

Stephens has a second reason for turning author.

“If you are a serious speaker, a book is almost a necessity,” Stephens said.

Stephens didn’t have to look far to find inspiration for powerful, over-50 living: His twin brother bicycled from Texas to Georgia in mere days. But Stephens also is building his new goals on

the foundation of solid past experiences.

Looking back, looking ahead

His entrepreneur experiences extend back to his childhood in Savannah, Georgia, when Stephens sold chickens and eggs through a local 4-H. In the 1990s, Stephens was a Toastmaster who won a contest.

Stephens said his public

speaking experiences include his work as an ordained associate pastor of Christian education at Mount Zion Baptist Church in Joliet. He feels God called him to use his voice.

“Like God said, ‘I cannot put it any closer to you than in your throat,’ ” Stephens said.

Stephen said he was drawn into that life experience in 1994. However, Stephens feels that for any ministry to be ef-

fective, it must leave the four walls of the church building.

To that end, Stephens has begun a prison ministry and is ministering to the homebound.

Pastor David Latimore, who came to Mount Zion Baptist Church in 2009 – 15 years after Stephens began his ministry there – said Stephens is a full-time member of the church who contributes significantly to its well-being.

“He is one of those members who is able to fulfill the mission of the church,” Latimore said. “He leads our prison ministry, which is an embryonic effort at our church, but an incredibly important one.”

Stephens has lived plenty of life. He was married to Lillian (deceased) and his current wife is Cynthia. He has four children, two biological and two stepchildren.

He also understands the corporate side of life.

Stephens worked for Kraft Foods in Champaign in the 1970s and has spent many years in sales. Stephens is amazed when he looks back on those years and how they have impacted his present projects.

“I was a work in progress and didn’t even realize it,” Stephens said.

Stephens retired from Preferred Meals Inc. – a national food service – in 2014, but “retired” is a word Stephens refuses to use. To him, it contains a passive tone that just doesn’t resonate with him.

“When people congratulate me, I almost can’t show it,” Stephens said. “I feel offended.”

District 210 is hosting summer school classes

NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way High School District 210 is hosting summer school classes for freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors looking to get ahead by taking their choice of required classes or electives and for students who need to retake a class.

Classes are being held at

Lincoln-Way East, 201 Colorado Avenue in Frankfort and Lincoln-Way Central, 1801 E. Lincoln Highway in New Lenox.

A variety of classes were popular by the 1,300 students taking first-semester classes, according to Brian Murphy, Director of Technology, who organized summer school. About 1,100 students are signed up to take second-semester classes also, Murphy added.

The summer school program is a self-supporting program; students pay a fee. Attendance is mandatory. One day of summer school is equivalent to five days during the school year; consequently a student will be dropped and no refund will be issued if he/she accumulates more than one day of absence per semester.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Ask partner to have the minimum holding

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Richard Cobden, an English member of parliament who died in 1865, said, “A newspaper should be the maximum of information and the minimum of comment.”

These columns try to impart the maximum of information in the space provided. At the bridge table, during the bidding, a player should judge how high to go by assuming that his partner holds a suitable minimum for the auction so far. And usually a defender should work out the minimum that his partner needs to hold so that they can defeat the contract.

How does that second possibility apply to this deal? What should happen in four hearts after West leads the spade king?

Note that North did well to employ the Stayman convention to locate the 4-4 heart fit. Three no-trump would surely have lost five spades and one club for down two. (My rule is to use Stayman with a low doubleton, but not with a strong doubleton.)

The defenders need four tricks to defeat the contract. East should hope that his partner holds either the club ace or heart ace. East, after encouraging his partner to continue spades by signaling with his eight, should take the second spade and shift to his singleton club.

Here, West wins with his ace and gives East a club ruff, which is the fourth defensive trick.

Alternatively, if West has the heart ace, he wins fourth trick with it and gives his partner the lethal ruff.

Finally, yes, East could overtake the spade king with his ace at trick one and immediately shift to his club.

If anything, that is a more dynamic, delightful defense.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff removed from the penis. It is replaced with tissue taken from another part of the body (often the scrotum or forearm).

This surgery often works well. However, the penis may remain mildly curved. In addition, sexual function or shortening of the penis does not always improve following surgery.

In some cases, surgery can cause erectile dysfunction. Surgeons sometimes implant a penile prosthesis during surgery. In some men, a prosthesis alone is enough to straighten the curvature and improve sexual function.

In 2013, the FDA approved a new drug for Peyronie’s disease, Xiaflex (CCH). This drug also is used for treating a hand abnormality called Dupuytren’s contracture. This condition is like Peyronie’s, in that it causes scar tissue to form.

In the hand, the scar tissue involves tendons and can prevent the fingers from straightening.

For Peyronie’s, Xiaflex is injected directly into the scar tissue in the penis. The medicine works by breaking down the thickened tissue. After the injection, tissues in the penis are stretched in order to straighten it. This drug does not run the risk of causing erectile dysfunction.

Since Peyronie’s disease can progressively worsen, injected drug treatments should begin as soon as the condition is causing bothersome symptoms. Given how disruptive this ailment can be, it’s good we finally have some effective medical and surgical treatments.

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

Dear Dr. K: I have Peyronie’s disease. Are there any effective treatments for this condition?

Dear Reader: Fortunately, Peyronie’s disease is relatively uncommon.

About 5 percent of men in the United States may have it. The condition affects the penis. It causes inflammation and then scar tissue to form in the area of inflammation. The scar tissue accumulates and hardens, causing the penis to bend when it becomes erect, and potentially keeping it from becoming fully erect. This can make sexual intercourse difficult and painful. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, www.askdoctork. com, showing the effect of Peyronie’s disease.)

Most men with a curved penis do not need any treatment. But if Peyronie’s disease causes pain or difficulty with sex, there are treatment options.

Treatment often involves a drug called pentoxifylline. It is taken by mouth. This drug acts on the immune system to quiet inflammation and formation of scar tissue.

You would take this drug along with one of three other drugs: verapamil, interferon alpha-2b or collagenase. These drugs are injected directly into the scar tissue in the penis.

Other drugs or supplements, such as carnitine and vitamin E (sometimes with colchicine), also may be prescribed. They are taken by mouth. These therapies are not usually effective in men with moderate to severe curvature.

High-intensity ultrasound and radiation therapy have been tried, but there is no strong evidence they are effective.

Peyronie’s sometimes improves gradually without treatment. If it doesn’t improve over the course of a year, and if it makes sexual intercourse difficult, corrective surgery is an option. In a typical procedure, the inflamed or scarred portion of tissue is

– Finally Met Someone In Pennsylvania Dear Finally Met Someone:

Real Life Adventures

I’m glad you are finally feeling better about yourself as a person, but before discussing this with your parents, it would be better if you separate the issues of your chronic depression and your feelings for this young man.

If this relationship were to end for some reason, would you cycle back down? If your parents react badly – as they may – would you be able to live independently? Are your parents capable of moderating their attitude about people of a different race?

And because racism can be universal, how does his family feel about you?

Please consider these questions carefully, because until you have the answers and are prepared to be out on your own, I don’t think you should make any announcements.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Abby: I run around with my sister “Pam” a lot.

She is eight years older. She had a face-lift some years ago, and she continues to seek out cosmetic procedures to enhance her appearance. I have had Botox and fillers, but do not want a face-lift. I am trying to age gracefully, just at a slightly slower pace.

I love my sister and I think she looks beautiful. However, when Pam and I are together and tell people we’re sisters, they always think I’m the older one. My feelings are hurt.

When our father died, I gained 30 pounds. Food was how I dealt with my grief. I have been working hard to get in better shape and lose weight. I am halfway to my goal, and proud of myself, but when these encounters happen, I get thrown. How do I answer people who ask about the age difference and make those comments? – Younger One In Florida Dear Younger One: Not ev-

eryone ages at the same rate, and I don’t think the people who make those comments do it intending to be hurtful. With all the help she’s getting, it’s no wonder your sister appears younger.

If someone remarks about you appearing older, all you have to say is, “Nope. She’s my big sister.” And should someone comment on your appearance, be honest. Say you gained some weight, but you’re working on taking it off and getting back into shape. It’s no disgrace; it’s admirable.

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

• Sunday, June 28, 2015

Dear Abby: I am 18 and live with my parents. I have a part-time job and I also attend a local university. My parents and I have always gotten along, and I have been obedient and respectful of their rules.

I have suffered from depression for years, but now I finally have met someone who makes me happy and feel like I am worth something.

Abby, he is of a different race.

This doesn’t mean anything to me. I know he’s a great guy and I really like him. The problem is, my parents are very racist.

They have done so much for me that I feel guilty dating someone they don’t approve of. They have told me to never date someone like that. I am torn and ashamed of them, and I don’t know what to do.

How do I break it to them?

Am I wrong for being with a genuine, amazing guy who finally makes me happy?

Avoid lending or borrowing.

Your popularity will grow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – If you are dissatisfied with your life, check out interests that you find appealing. A change at home or work will motivate you to try to do your best.

SHOWCASE of HOMES JOLIET ‘SECRET’ CONDO A HIDDEN HOMEBUYER’S GEM

A condominium home at Heritage House may be one of Joliet real estate’s best-kept secrets. Historically home to many Joliet notables, judges, teachers, politicians and business owners over the past 40 years, Heritage House is an elegant building with just 18 units.

The building sits on a picturesque lot, and is designed and styled for secure and plush living, with such features as a secured elevator, formal winding staircase and loft for second-floor units, underground heated garage, locked interior access, intercom and basement storage.

Unit 102 is a main-floor end unit, a bright and airy ranch-style condo that offers two bedrooms and a huge den that could be a third. There are two baths, so the home could have two master bedroom suites.

Features include a private patio, eat-in kitchen with appliances, formal dining room, and spacious living room. Updates are found throughout, including custom window blinds, and it offers an in-unit laundry with washer and dryer, and two underground parking spaces with elevator service.

At least one homeowner must be 50 years of age to take advantage of this well-located community, where such tasks as lawn care and snow removal are arranged through a fee homeowners’ association.

Heritage House is convenient to such amenities as several shopping centers, Inwood Park & Golf Course, Presence St. Joseph Medical Center, Joliet Junior College, Middle Rock Run forest preserve, and the Jefferson Street/Interstate 55 interchange, which connects to I-80.

As required by said Act, any and all revisions of the prevailing rate of wages by the Department of Labor of the State of Illinois shall supersede the Department's June determination and apply to any and all public works construction undertaken by the Village. The definition of any terms appearing in this Resolution which are also used in the aforesaid Act shall be the same as in said Act. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to apply said general prevailing rate of wages as herein ascertained to any work or employment except public works construction of the Village of Plainfield to the extent required by the aforesaid Act. The Village clerk shall publicly post or keep available for inspection by any interested party in the main office of the Village, this determination or any revision of such prevailing rate of wage. A copy of this determination or of the current revised determination of prevailing rate of wages then in effect shall be attached to all contract specifications.

The Village Clerk shall mail a copy of this determination to any employer, and to any association of employers, and to any person or association of employees who have filed their names and addresses, requesting copies of any determination stating the particular rates and the particular class of workers whose wages will be affected by such rates.

The Village Clerk shall promptly file a certified copy of this Resolution with both the Secretary of State Index Division and the Department of Labor of the State of Illinois.

The Village Clerk shall within 30 days after filing with the Secretary of State, cause to be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the area a copy of this Resolution, and such publication shall constitute notice that the determination is effective and this is the determination of this public body.

Sec. 2: All resolutions or parts of resolutions in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.
