Embracing the force As a child, whenever I heard the musical fanfare introduction to a 20th Century Fox movie, I knew what was coming next.

We were about to watch “Star Wars.” Hopefully the original one, although “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi” were always a treat too (let’s just not talk about the prequels).

I love that science fiction fairy tale. The original trilogy, taken as a whole, is an inspiring story of good triumphing over evil, and reinforces the idea that a small, dedicated rebellion can overcome the big, bad empire. It’s also, at its heart, a redemption story, a tale about how love (in this case, for children) can lead to a change in destiny for even the most evil dark Sith in the galaxy.

What’s not to like?

I also love how the movies can bring together strangers.

My favorite “Star Wars” bonding moment came when I worked in La Crosse, Wisconsin, and there was a tour of Cub Scouts coming through the newsroom. The little boys passed by my desk (which was not a stop on the tour) and saw my Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi figurines on my desk.

VIEWS Kate Schott Starstruck, one of them asked, a touch of awe in his voice, “Do you like ‘Star Wars?!?’ ” I affirmed that I did, and that led to a conversation with a dozen 7-year-old boys about which character I liked best (Han Solo), if I would be on the dark side or light side of the Force (hopefully the light) and what color I would choose for a lightsaber (purple).

So I was excited, when I moved to Joliet, to find out there is a huge “Star Wars” event every year. The idea of seeing Darth Vader walking down Chicago Street thrills the sci-fi girl geek in me.

My plans (as of this writing) included getting down there Saturday to take in all the fun.

Joliet women save passenger on a flight to Chicago

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Karol Summerfield is searching for two Joliet women who saved her life during a flight to Chicago.

Summerfield, 58, of Montgomery, was on a Southwest Airlines flight to Chicago on June 2 when she took a sip of water and it went into her lungs. She was returning from Phoenix, Arizona, and felt stress and anxiety before the flight.

“At that point, I couldn’t breathe through my nose or my mouth,” she said.

After feeling the onset of a panic attack, she jumped out of her seat, her face beet red, and flailed, she said. That’s when two women sitting behind her – who turned out to be nurses – sprang into action.

Summerfield said they performed the Heimlich maneuver, believing she was choking. But when she rasped that she was aspirating, they threw her arms up in the air and calmed her down.

By raising her arms, they lengthened her chest to allow more air in, she said.

The flight was about 30 minutes away from Chicago when this happened, and the two women cared for her on the plane, Summerfield said.

The trip was shortened so she could receive medical attention on the ground.

“The ladies had gotten me out of danger and I don’t even know their names. All I know is they live in Joliet.”

Karol Summerfield of Montgomery Waiting for her were personnel from the Chicago Police Department, Chicago Fire Department, Chicago paramedics and Transportation Security Administration.

Summerfield wants to know who the women were who saved her.

“The ladies had gotten me out of danger and I don’t even know their names,” Summerfield said. “All I know is they live in Joliet.”

Summerfield said the flight number was 3661. She said the flight departed at 3:30 p.m. from Phoenix, Arizona, on June 2 and landed in Chicago about 9 p.m.

Summerfield, who’s retired and previously worked in construction, said if she could meet those two women again, she would thank them for saving her life.

“My husband and my daughter couldn’t believe what happened and the good fortune that I had two angels in the form of nurses sitting behind me,” she said.

Library says Star Wars Day attendance is largest yet

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

JHN

JOLIET – Star Wars Day was once more bigger than ever, with attendance at 7,000 only an hour into the event Saturday, matching last year’s record turnout.

“It’s huge, and it’s a lot of fun,” said Kristen Avara of Belleville.

Avara, a member of the 501st Legion club and decked out in Stormtrooper armor, was among dozens of re-enactors in costume posing for photos with enthusiastic visitors to Joliet’s annual tribute to Star Wars.

The event is organized by the Joliet Public Library and takes place around the downtown library.

There is not another Star Wars event quite like it in Avara’s experience, and she’s been to many, including others at libraries.

“This is the biggest library event I’ve ever been to,” she said.

‘Stars and Stripes’ and Jedi

The event kicked off at 11 a.m. with a Star Wars Day parade led by the Joliet American Legion Band playing the patriotic “Stars and Stripes Forever,” followed by rows and rows of Stormtroopers, Jedi, assorted Princess Leias and more costumed characters.

It was a day when downtown Joliet was filled with people such as Tom Lee of Plainfield.

“I love Star Wars. I’m a Star Wars addict,” Lee said while with his family at the nearby Joliet Area Historical Museum, which joined the event with lightsaber demonstrations and other activities.

Lee said he has been a Star Wars fanatic “since my dad took me when I was a kid. The first movie he took me to was ‘The Empire Strikes Back.’ ” Jackie Shreve, 12, of Valparaiso, Indiana, said she has

People watch as a Wampa walks down the street Saturday during the Joliet Public Library’s Star Wars Day in Joliet.

Attendance levels unexpected by Joliet Public Library • STAR WARS

Continued from page 3 two years.”

‘Some huge wampas’

Tracy Galindo of Schaumburg, dressed in a Princess Leia costume, said she was “overwhelmed with excitement” as she arrived to Star Wars Day. “There are some huge wampas out there,” she said.

Galindo and husband, Guillermo, recently had a “May the Fourth be with you” birthday party for their son, Elijah, who also arrived in cos-

tume.

“It’s a way of life for us,” she said. “It’s not just a movie anymore.”

Many of the people downtown Saturday probably could have said the same thing.

“I think [Star Wars] has been part of people’s lives for a long time,” said John Jackson Miller, one of a few authors of Star Wars books signing copies at the library. “It’s something that has an inter-generational appeal. There’s a lot of people like me. I saw my first Star Wars movie when I was 9 in the 1970s.”

point, Patrick Elsen of Morris, who recently graduated from preschool, enthusiastically expressed his love for Star Wars.

“I watched all six movies, and I’m waiting for number seven to come out,” Elsen said.

7,000 counted by noon

This is the Joliet Public Library’s sixth Star Wars Day. The event was started to appeal to both children and adults, to encourage people to come to the library, and to inspire the development of reading habits.

Youth Librarian Roger

Burns said no one expected it to get this big. He said earlier in the week that he expected attendance to plateau at some point. But it was not happening Saturday.

“We’re already at 7,000,” Burns said at noon. The event typically peaks in attendance at 1 p.m., he said. “We’ve got people from Ohio, Wisconsin and Indiana.”

Burns calculates attendance at the free event by the number of “Jedi Passports,” or guides to the event, handed out at tables to people who ask for them. He planned to have a final attendance count by

CORRECTIONS

Scott Jones of Warren, Michigan, dressed as LEGO Boba Fett, walks Saturday in the Joliet Public Library’s Star Wars Day parade in Joliet. The event drew at least 7,000 people.

In the article, “A pastor for the people” that was on page 28 of the Thursday, June 4, 2015, edition of The Herald-News, it incorrectly stated the year Rev. John Doyle came to St. Anne Catholic Church in Crest Hill. Doyle came in 1988.

Amtrak train collides with truck 11 injured; truck driver cited in crash

By ERIC GINNARD eginnard@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Brad Koch was traveling Friday afternoon from Bloomington to Chicago on Amtrak’s Texas Eagle, talking to one of his fellow passengers.

Suddenly, the train came to a dead stop.

“I looked out the window, and I realized there was a trailer sitting out there,” Koch said.

“All I saw was the trailer, and all the sudden I look outside the other window, and there’s the truck.”

Eleven people were injured and taken to area hospitals Friday when the Amtrak train, headed to Chicago from San Antonio, slammed into a semitrailer truck at a crossing in Wilmington, police said in a news release Saturday.

Injured passengers were transported to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet and Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox with injuries that were not life-threatening, police said.

The train left San Antonio on Thursday. It hit the trailer of a truck obstructing the tracks about 4 p.m. Friday, according to Amtrak spokesman Marc Magliari.

According to Wilmington police, witnesses reported the truck attempted to go around the crossing gates on New River Road.

“Wilmington police issued the driver of the truck, Keith D. Morris of Joliet ... a citation for disregarding a signal indicating the approach of a train while the gates were closing,” police said in their release.

The trailer was overturned and its contents were scattered along the tracks. The truck’s cab separated from the trailer and ended up on the other side of the train.

According to police and witnesses on the scene, the truck was carrying cold meats, which were strewn on the ground following the crash. The truck, based out of Montgomery, was going to a U.S. Cold Storage fa-

None of the train’s cars left the track as a result of the accident.

Amtrak’s equipment was cleared to leave the scene about 8 p.m. Friday night, and service on the line was back to normal Saturday morning, Amtrak spokesman Craig Schulz said.

“The debris was cleaned up, the track was inspected and the equipment was allowed to proceed and the track was reopened,” Schulz said.

Carol Troyer of Elkhart, Indiana, was in the train’s fifth car, among the 203 passengers on the train.

“Some people were saying, ‘Get out, get out, get out of the train.’ And we tried to go down and get out, well the doors were locked,” she said. “And then they told us to go back up and sit down.”

More than 200 train passengers were moved to Wilmington High School after being evacuated from the train be-

cause of a fuel leak from the truck and a lack of power on the train, police said.

“Eventually, Amtrak sent coach buses to transport the passengers to Chicago Union Station,” police said.

A second Amtrak train was stopped behind the initial crash site, and several of those passengers left the train, choosing to find alternate transporta-

tion because of the delay, police said.

Among the 16 area agencies responding Friday evening were the Wilmington Police Department, the Wilmington Fire Protection District, Wilmington Emergency Services and Disaster Agency, the Will County Sheriff’s Department, Elwood Police Department and the Illinois State Police.

Trainauskas found guilty of ’09 murder JOLIET – A judge Friday said three things led him to convict a Frankfort Township man of the 2009 murder of his friend.

Judge Dave Carlson said he found Trainauskas guilty of murder because Monica Timar’s body was found in the trunk of her car, her blood was found in Brian Trainauskas’ house and was inside the barrel of a shotgun Trainauskas sold to a friend the day before Timar’s body was discovered. “[That] shotgun was never discussed when you were asked about [Timar] by the police,” Carlson said, prompting

Trainauskas, who was sitting with his elbows on armrests, hands clasped in front of him, to hang his head as the judge continued.

“The court believes that was the weapon used to kill Miss Timar,” Carlson said. Trainauskas cleared his throat when Carlson said he was found guilty Brian on all counts, Trainauskas but Trainauskas’ and Timar’s relatives remained silent in the courtroom audience.

Trainauskas, 40, faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced.

Timar disappeared Jan. 20, 2009, and her body was found three days later in the trunk of her Ford Mustang in the 21000 block of South 78th Avenue in Frankfort Township.

Defense attorneys in the case argued that, while Trainauskas allowed Timar access to his home, he was not responsible for the woman’s death.

Trainauskas was interviewed by police after the body was found and allegedly gave statements implicating him in Timar’s death. But an appellate court ruled the statements could only be used if Trainauskas testified, which he declined to do during the trial.

Trainauskas was not walking out of jail regardless of

Romeoville man found guilty in ’14 Lockport heroin death

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A judge on Friday found a Romeoville man guilty of drug-induced homicide in a fatal overdose of a Lockport man last year.

“Case law holds everyone who assists in the [delivery] is accountable,” Judge Amy Bertani-Tomczak told Benjamin “Benji” Camunias. “You knew what the potential effects [of heroin] were when you were getting it and took some for yourself. You joined in on all of this.”

Camunias, 28, was charged

in the Aug. 10, 2014, death of Peter Kucinski. Camunias and Kucinski’s girlfriend, Amy Shemberger, drove up to Oak Park and bought $100 worth of heroin, according to prosecutors.

Shemberger awaits a separate trial.

Benjamin After buyCamunias ing the drugs, Camunias dropped Shemberger off at her home in the 500 block of East Fourth Street in Lockport, where Kucinski was

waiting, according to testimony in the case. Camunias told police he’d acted as a chauffeur, but Shemberger made the transaction.

Camunias was questioned by police the day after Kucinski’s death and again in October 2014 after toxicology results came back. Camunias’ second interview took place in the Will County Jail, where he was being held in connection to a Bolingbrook drug case.

Camunias faces between six and 30 years in prison without the possibility of probation when he is sentenced.

later this month. Carlson told Trainauskas that lawyers in that case may question whether another judge should take it over because of the pending murder sentence.

“I understand,” Trainauskas said.

Trainauskas’ relatives left the courthouse right after proceedings finished Friday and Timar’s family declined to comment.

This inmate also would allegedly force another person to confess to Timar’s slaying, prosecutors say, and then would subsequently kill that person.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com Close-to-home vacations remain a feasible choice for many families despite an improving economy and lower gas prices.

“Staycations” became popular during the most recent economic recession, when families tried to get the same benefits of a full vacation with strained budgets.

As the portmanteau suggests, staycations are vacations that stay close to home.

And while travel planners in Will and Grundy counties have seen the number of inquiries about staycations dip in the past year, it remains a good option for those wishing to save and maximize money.

Improving economy

Over the past decade, the notion of a staycation has gone viral. But AAA Travel spokeswoman Beth Moser said the numbers have decreased in recent years.

“What we’re seeing doesn’t

support that staycations are growing,” Moser said. “Because gas prices have been so low for so long and the economy is really turning around, people are returning to more destination trips.”

But Moser said staycations remain a good option for those with low incomes in Will and Grundy counties. Popular staycation destinations residents can get to with one tank of gas include Chicago, Lake Geneva in Wisconsin, and even Indianapolis in Indiana.

“A lot of people take advantage of the city of Chicago,” said Moser, who operates out of Aurora. “With living here locally, many haven’t really taken advantage of tourist attractions. We have great state parks, too, some very close to the area, like Starved Rock and Matthiessen State Park.”

Saving a buck

The flight and hotel cost for a week in Orlando could cost a family of four $1,000 to $1,500, according to quotes with Expedia.com. That doesn’t in-

clude a week’s costs for local travel and attractions, such as Disney World and Universal Studios.

The total cost for a destination trip could end up around $4,000, said Sasha Grabenstetter, a consumer economics educator at the University of Illinois Extension.

Driving to local destinations such as Chicago, the Will County Forest Preserve’s sand trails in Braidwood, and a day in Joliet attending a Slammers baseball game and Rialto Square Theatre showing, could cost $4 to $15 in gas a day, or around $100 for the week based on mileage, not including food, admission and other expenses.

Grabenstetter, who has taken staycations herself, said families on staycations can take the financial worry out of something that should be relaxing.

Local destinations

Moser said hiking, camping and fishing at state parks are inexpensive alternatives

“What we’re seeing doesn’t support that staycations are growing. Because gas prices have been so low for so long and the economy is really turning around, people are returning to more destination trips.”

Beth Moser AAA Travel spokeswoman

to long-distance vacations.

Dan Bell, superintendent of the I&M Canal State Trail, said he hasn’t noticed any more or fewer people going to local trails. But areas such as Channahon, William G. Stratton and Gebhard Woods state parks are popular oneday destinations in Will and Grundy counties.

Day trips to hotels also are a common way to get a wallet-friendly vacation experience locally, Comfort Inn Morris employee Tara Brown said.

At Comfort Inn, Brown said she sees about 10 couples or families per month book a room for a night or two as a

staycation. Some can’t afford a trip to a farther destination, and some come because it’s the closest thing to a long, expensive trip for many in the farming towns of Grundy County.

“We do have the occasional family that comes in for just a night,” Brown said.

“They will bring their kids to go swimming in the [hotel] pool, maybe go to one of the good restaurants in the area and movie theater down the road.”

“Staycations may be on the decline since the economy seems to be rebounding,” Grabenstetter said. “But they are still good for your wallet.”

Mojoes of Joliet to reopen June 13 as The Tree

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A new club with a different style will replace Mojoes of Joliet, the city announced Friday.

The Tree is scheduled to open June 13, keeping most previously scheduled concerts, according to a news release put out late Friday afternoon by the city of Joliet.

The owner of Mojoes of Joliet, a downtown club that featured heavy metal music and alternative rock, said this week he was shutting down after another run-in with the city over allegations of overcrowding.

While Mojoes often operated on the edge, running into trouble with city officials over fights and other incidents while also attracting young audiences in large numbers, The Tree will feature painting classes, lunches with a hibachi chef and a dress shop.

The Tree will be owned

by Betsy Kuypers, owner of Freaksters Roadhouse in Pontiac.

Kuypers could not be immediately reached for comment.

But Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he met with Kuypers and

she is well aware of past problems at the club.

“She’s been successful running clubs in the past,” O’Dekirk said. “She’s very clear about the limits in the capacity.”

According to the city’s news release, The Tree will emphasize rock, country, bluegrass and folk music.

It also will serve lunch, featuring custom-made salads, sushi and a community table with a hibachi chef. Painting classes will be held in an upstairs bar with coffee and wine served while acoustic music is played.

Kuypers also is the owner of Roadhouse Radio, a cluster of Internet-based radio stations, according to the news release. One station is active rock, programmed by Freak Roadhouse Rodeo. She will launch Roadhouse Route 66 in the fall featuring jazz, oldies, Americana and bluegrass.

The Tree also will become home base for “The Filthy Stitch” a company started with Emily Sifrit, a Chicago dress designer, according to the release. The Filthy Stitch designs dresses out of concert T-shirts.

Investigators suspect arson in apartment fire Friday

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – Police are investigating a suspected arson attempt at an apartment building Friday.

East Joliet Fire Chief Robert Scholtes said crews were called at 5:38 a.m. to a fire at an 11-unit complex in the 400 block of Siegmund Street and found smoke coming from a second-floor apartment.

“They went in to find a bedroom on fire and extinguished it. No one was injured, but there was a suspicious package in the apartment that prompted us to call the Cook County Bomb Squad,” Scholtes said.

Lockport Township, Man-

hattan and Rockdale firefighters assisted East Joliet with the call.

Arson investigators and the state fire marshal also investigated before the scene was turned over to Will County sheriff’s police, sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said.

According to reports, the building’s fire suppression system was tampered with.

Hoffmeyer said investigators had identified a suspect, but no one was in custody as of 6:30 p.m. Friday.

Investigations Deputy Chief Rick Ackerson said deputies had executed a search warrant at a residence on Friday afternoon, but no other information was available.

Final Hickory Street murder trial set to begin Tuesday

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Two and a half years after Eric Glover Jr. and Terrance Rankins were found strangled to death in a house on Hickory Street in Joliet, the fourth and final suspect in their murders will receive his day in court.

Adam M. Landerman, 21, will be the first suspect to leave his fate in the hands of a jury and will do so before a different judge than his co-defendants.

B e t h a n y Adam M. M c K e e a n d Landerman Joshua Miner opted for separate bench trials last year before Judge Gerald Kinney; both were found guilty. Alisa Massaro cut a deal and pleaded guilty to lesser charges in exchange for testifying against the others.

Kinney has since retired and Landerman’s case will be tried before Amy Bertani-Tomczak, a circuit judge since 1994. Twelve jurors and four alternates are expected to be chosen Tuesday when the trial is scheduled to start.

On Jan. 9, 2013, Rankins and Glover were lured to Massaro’s house in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street, where they expected to “party” with Massaro and McKee, investigators have said.

Instead, Miner and Landerman were waiting with the young women after the four allegedly made plans to attack and rob them.

Miner strangled Rankins while Landerman allegedly strangled Glover; they got about $100, desecrated the bodies and made plans to dismember them before police interrupted them, according to testimony at previous trials.

“This is one of the most brutal, heinous and upsetting things I’ve ever seen,” then-Joliet Police Chief Mike Trafton told The Herald-News. “Not only the crime scene, but the disregard for common decency

toward human beings.”

According to police interviews played at previous trials, Landerman was enthusiastic when Miner proposed robbing the victims unless they brought cigarettes. After they were killed, Landerman brought a hand-held propane torch, a pair of small garden shears, a utility knife, two hand knives, a pair of scissors, a hacksaw and a second blade from his house to help get rid of the bodies.

To show McKee and Massaro the victims were truly dead, Landerman jumped on their backs and “surfed” to show they wouldn’t move, Massaro and Miner said during their interviews with authorities.

After the bodies were covered with a sheet, Landerman, Massaro and Miner tried to have sex either next to or on top of them, McKee told investigators.

The next day, McKee asked her father for help disposing of the bodies and William McKee notified police. Joliet Police Officer Michael DeVito testified during McKee’s trial that he searched the basement and saw Landerman’s feet sticking out from behind some wooden paneling propped behind a doorway.

DeVito said Landerman ignored his commands to come out until another officer came to back him up.

“He turned toward me with a grin on his face,” DeVito said.

Like McKee and Miner, Landerman faces life in prison if he is convicted of Glover and Rankins’ murders. Massaro is scheduled to be released on parole in January 2018 from her sentence for robbery and concealing a homicide.

She is not expected to be called to testify in Landerman’s trial.

Landerman is being held in the Will County jail on $10 million bond. He filed a complaint last year claiming current conditions for inmates violated state jail regulations. It was dismissed in March after Landerman did not respond to court filings.

for compliance because of the need to perform studies and have them approved by regulators.

“However, very little detail or explanation accompanies these claims,” the board said.

The state is setting new rules for industry along the Des Plaines River to meet clean water standards. The new rules are likely to take effect in 2018 if they are approved in June by the Joint Committee on Administrative Rules.

Environmentalists applauded the decision by the Illinois Pollution Control Board.

Christine Nannicelli with the Sierra Club Beyond Coal Campaign in a written statement called the decision “a clear victory for clear water in Chicago” and “a strong stand to protect water and wildlife in Chicago waterways.”

State regulators are moving forward with new water pollution standards for the Des Plaines River despite an attempt by NRG to extend a deadline for its Joliet and Will County power plants.

The Illinois Pollution Control Board this past week denied a request from NRG for more time to meet standards for reduced water temperatures at discharge areas.

The NRG application for more time included a comment that “certain industrial facilities” could face closure without relief from the new pollution standards.

An NRG spokesman confirmed Friday that the reference was to the Joliet and Will County plants, but said it was

premature to predict the future impact of the new standards. The Will County plant is in Romeoville.

“I can’t say we’re going to do something or not do something at this early stage,” NRG spokesman Dave Gaier said.

Gaier said the potential three-year deadline for enforcement is “tight.” But, he added, “These type of regulations are part of doing business, and we understand that.”

The Illinois Pollution Control Board in its decision issued Thursday said it was “puzzled” by NRG’s assertions that the regulatory rule could result in closed facilities.

The board noted that compliance was already extended for three years at the request of Midwest Generation, the previous owner of the plants.

NRG had requested six years

Illiana as a bargaining chip

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, said Rauner’s contingency plans include spending cuts that “would save zero dollars” in the next fiscal year, which begins July 1.

“The Illiana is one of them.

That is zero dollars of savings.

Stopping the project does nothing to solve this year’s budget problem,” Walsh Jr. said.

Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. said he will wait to see if the Illiana is resurrected after lawmakers and Rauner reach a budget deal.

He said he wonders if Rauner is using it as a bargaining chip.

“I’m having a hard time reading Rauner. I can read him in that he wants everything his own way. If he doesn’t get his own way, then he doesn’t think anyone wants to compromise,” Walsh Sr. said.

Walsh Jr. said Democrats have “more than compromised” on state budget issues. The $36.3 billion budget

JOLIET – To offer her constituents the opportunity to hear about what is happening in Springfield, state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, is hosting her monthly Retiree Advisory Committee from 10 to 11 a.m. June 22 at her district office, 2701 Black Road, Suite 201 in Joliet.

Manley’s Retiree Advisory Committee is made up of residents throughout the district, according to a news release from her office. They typically meet the fourth Monday of the month for a legislative update and to discuss important issues that may require legislation. New members are highly encouraged and always welcomed.

Energy bill assistance program

Also on the chopping block is a program that provides funding for low-income renters and homeowners who can’t afford to pay their energy bill.

Catholic Charities, which serves Grundy, Will and other counties in the region, said they often refer clients to the Will County Center for Community Concerns, which administers the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

“There’s quite a few,” said Pam Terrell, community services division director. “It’s a resource that’s very much needed in our area.”

Worst-case scenario, she

said, people will be evicted from their homes and wind up in homeless shelters if they can’t pay the electricity bill.

“I hate to see something like this happen. People who require this program are likely already behind in bills. If this program is all of the sudden not there, you have people living paycheck-to-paycheck who could become homeless,” she said.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said Rauner’s decision to create a waiting list for parents in need of state-funded child care is “troubling.”

Co-payments also are going up, and it’ll be first-come, first-serve with the newly created waiting list.

“What that could mean is, let’s say a parent gets a job, but they need child care, but they’re on the waiting list.

At worst, they can’t hold the job,” McGuire said.

The goal of the state-funded Child Care Assistance Program is to help working families who can’t afford the full costs of child care.

JOLIET – The effects of the budget stalemate in Springfield will soon be apparent.

Officials from Will and Grundy counties got a taste of things to come last week when Rauner announced state government should prepare for a worst-case scenario – that is, steep funding cuts and program suspensions – if a bud- Gov. Bruce get deal isn’t Rauner made by July 1.

On the horizon, according to Rauner’s office, are increased co-payments for subsidized child care, suspension of the state’s energy bill assistance program and tax credit incentives for businesses, and the potential closure of two youth prisons and state museums.

There’s also the nixing of the Illiana Expressway project out of the Illinois Department of Transportation’s multi-year road plan. According to Rauner’s office, it’s all because of Democrats’ unwillingness to go along with the Republican governor’s business-friendly

reforms in exchange for revenue in next year’s budget cycle.

Nancy Ammer, CEO with the Grundy County Economic Development Council, said she’s disappointed with the governor’s decision to “single out” and not fund the proposed Illiana Expressway project. It’s a blow to Grundy County and the continued development of logistics and trucking companies there.

“It’s needed, not only in Grundy and Will, but the whole region,” Ammer said.

Although a supporter of the Illiana, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, said holding off on the $1.5 billion project, which relies on state and private funding, is the right thing as Illinois grapples with a multibillion dollar deficit and ballooning pension obligations. “[These budget cuts] certainly will be the most difficult session we’ve seen since I’ve been in Springfield,” Rezin said. “But it’s for the right reasons. There are two competing sides. It’s either ‘Stop reform’ or ‘Get reform.’ The governor is digging in his heels in order to pass a plan that he feels will get the state on the right track.”

JOLIET – A man was sentenced Friday to 31 years in prison for shooting another man outside a Joliet gas station two years ago.

Anthony D. White, 26, pleaded guilty in February to the attempted murder of Marcus Smith during a Anthony fight early Feb. 9, 2013, at the D. White gas station at 379 S. Chicago St., which was a Citgo at the time.

Smith, who is now a quadriplegic, was in court Friday while Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes read a statement he wrote about how the shooting has affected his life.

“I can’t walk. I can’t be myself,” Smith wrote.

“I want to ask the defendant ... ‘Why did you shoot me?’ I’ve never seen the defendant in my life,” Smith wrote to the judge. “My manhood and fatherhood has been stripped away. I couldn’t even hug my daughter for her graduation.

That’s something I can’t get back.”

Smith and his girlfriend

had stopped at the gas station after a night out celebrating his recent promotion and White’s friends jumped Smith in a dispute over comments made about Smith’s girlfriend, according to Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Mark Fleszewski.

“Anthony White brought a gun to a fistfight and there were permanent consequences,” Fleszewski said.

Surveillance video played Friday for Alessio Policandriotes showed White retrieving a handgun from his Ford Taurus during the brawl and running over to shoot Smith in the neck.

“Let’s face it. You’re a punk.

You don’t care about other people,” Alessio Policandriotes said. “You’re on parole [at the time] for shooting someone else at the gas station across the street. ... [This wasn’t] by chance. You drive around with a gun in your car.”

White told the judge he was sorry and wondered “what it was in [him] that made him do this.”

“I want to say to the next person out there who thinks it’s cool to have a gun and be a tough guy to stop and think about me,” White told the judge.

Persistent delays raise questions about O’Hare promises

CHICAGO – Jetliners roared down O’Hare’s newest runway as Chicago officials cheerfully touted the latest piece of a decade-long overhaul as a tipping point that could cut delays in half and dramatically improve the reputation for bottlenecks at one of the nation’s busiest airports.

But in the year and a half since that celebratory event, delays have been even more common than in the five years before the strip opened, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.

“It just shows the problem is bigger than concrete,” aviation consultant Michael Boyd said.

“It’s like building more on-ramps to a freeway that’s already congested.”

From the runway’s opening in October 2013 through this past March, nearly 28 percent of

departures have been delayed, compared with 22 percent over the five previous years, according to the latest available data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics. Arrival delays tracked a similar 6 percentage point increase, hitting 26 percent. The jump was double the national increase.

The poor results raise the prospect that the complexity and size of O’Hare, combined with its vulnerability to problems originating elsewhere in the nation’s air system, will sometimes swamp whatever performance gains come from the more efficient design that planners are etching into the 72-year-old airfield.

Other U.S. airports, including the nation’s busiest, in Atlanta, are also seeking more capacity by adding concrete and are seeing some improvement. O’Hare’s $9 billion program, funded in large measure by fees passed on to the public in flight tickets, ultimately envisions eight runways, six of them parallel, compared with seven crisscrossing runways before.

“It’s easy to hype and raise expectations, and the unfortunate

thing is that the people who make these promises are not the ones actually doing the work and may not even know just how hard the work is,” said Douglas Kidd, director of the National Association of Airline Passengers.

Clinic saves dog shot in Chicago domestic dispute

CHICAGO – Veterinarians at a Skokie animal clinic say a dog shot in the head during a domestic dispute in Chicago is doing well in spite of some lingering problems.

Chicago police brought Sophie, a 6-year-old German shepherd mix, to BluePearl Veterinary Partners in Skokie, shortly after she was shot on Wednesday.

Dr. Lauren Nazarian is a veterinarian at the clinic. She told the Chicago Tribune on Friday that the wound affected Sophie’s balance but could have been much worse.

The Winnebago County Coroner’s Office said an autopsy is scheduled for Monday.

Chicago’s new 606 trail system opens to the public

CHICAGO – Chicago’s answer to New York’s High Line elevated trail system opened Saturday to both excitement and concern.

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel opened the 606 on the city’s northwest side. The $95 million trail and park system takes its name from Chicago’s ZIP code prefix and travels along a defunct rail line through four neighborhoods.

The 606 has been praised as a potential link between those sometimes disparate neighbor-

hoods and an attraction that can be enjoyed by tens of thousands of Chicago residents.

But according to the Chicago Tribune, the opening of the 606 has some who live along it worried they’ll be priced out of their neighborhoods.

Emanuel has acknowledged that property values in those areas were already rising.

Illinois, Canada sign architectrecognition deal

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois has signed an agreement with Canada to make it easier for state-licensed architects to practice in the neighboring country.

The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation announced the “mutual recognition agreement” Friday.

Secretary Bryan Schneider says it streamlines the licensing process for Illinois architects who meet standards set by the National Council of Architecture Registration Board.

The pact also expedites licensing for Canadians working in the Prairie State.

Calling himself part of the Biden clan, President Barack Obama remembered Beau Biden as a selfless son and consummate public servant in a eulogy delivered at Biden’s funeral.

“He did in 46 years what most of us couldn’t do in 146,” Obama said. “He left nothing in the tank.”

Beau Biden, the vice president’s oldest son, died a week ago after a two-year battle with brain cancer that played out mostly in private, in contrast to the intensely public life that the Bidens have lived for decades.

2 convicted killers used power tools to escape

DANNEMORA, N.Y. – Two convicted murderers used power tools to cut through steel pipes at a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border and escape through a manhole, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday.

“It was an elaborate plot,” Cuomo said after joining law enforcement authorities to retrace the prisoners’ escape route from the Clinton Correctional Facility in the town of Dannemora in the Adirondacks.

Sweat is serving a sentence of life without parole after he was convicted of first-degree murder for killing a Broome County sheriff’s deputy in 2002. Matt is serving a sentence of 25 years to life for the kidnapping and beating death of a man in 1997.

Authorities said there are many questions including how the men acquired the tools. Anthony Annuci, the acting state corrections commissioner, said prison authorities are checking to see if any power tools are missing from contractors at the prison.

Colo. warned to brace for more severe weather

DENVER – Colorado is in for a few more days of violent storms and unstable weather, forecasters said Saturday. The state was braced for at least two more nights of walloping rain, strong winds and isolated tornadoes.

A third night of storms ripped across Colorado late Friday, downing tree branches and leaving about 12,000 in the Denver metro area without power.

At least six tornadoes were spotted Friday afternoon and evening in southern and eastern Colorado, National Weather Service meteorologist Chad Gimmestad said. All were in rural areas and caused little damage and no injuries, he said.

For many, more jobs don’t mean more financial security

By JOSH BOAK and CHRISTOPHER S. RUGABER The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The U.S. economy is churning out a lot of jobs these days but not a lot of financial security for many of the people who hold them.

Pay growth, although improving, remains tepid.

Many workers have few opportunities to advance. Others have taken temporary, part-time or freelance jobs, with little chance of landing full-time permanent work with benefits.

As a result, many jobs don’t deliver as much economic punch as they used to.

Part of the reason is that U.S. workers have grown less efficient in recent months. When they produce less per hour of work, their earnings power shrinks. So the economy doesn’t fully benefit from the fuel that healthy job growth normally provides.

The result is a disconnect between the high number of job gains and a nagging dissatisfaction among some job holders and job seekers.

Lena Allison lost her job as a private-school kindergarten teacher in layoffs in September. Allison, 54, of Los Angeles has since worked temp jobs and struggled to find permanent work. Online

job listings have made it hard to get face-to-face interviews, she said.

“More people may be working jobs, but they’re like these serial part-time jobs,” she said. “They’re not life-supporting jobs.”

Allison’s experiences, shared by millions of other workers, contrast with the economic momentum suggested by the May jobs report released Friday. The government added a solid 280,000 jobs. The unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 5.5 percent, but for a positive reason: More people decided to start seeking a job, and some didn’t find one.

Hiring surged in the health care, retail, construction, and hospitality and leisure sectors. Many analysts and investment managers cheered as average hourly wages rose at an annual rate of 2.3 percent from 2.2 percent in April, slightly ahead of inflation.

“Not only are the labor markets stronger today than at any point in the past 20 years, but we are beginning to see the start of broad-based wage growth,” Rick Rieder, chief investment officer for fundamental fixed income at BlackRock, said in a client note.

That declaration is rooted

in the economic data. But it would surprise many Americans.

Nearly half of Americans say they couldn’t afford an emergency expense of $400 without borrowing or selling something they own, according to a survey released by the Federal Reserve. A striking 60 percent of those surveyed said they expect to go without a pay raise over the next 12 months.

Ben McBratney, 25, accepted a job in tech support last month at a Chicago payments company – his third job since graduating from college with a computer science degree in 2012.

He’s hopeful that this one will provide a chance for advancement.

“Each job has paid me a little less than the one before it, which is not the trajectory that I wanted,” McBratney said.

One reason the number of new jobs has stayed strong despite sluggish economic growth is that workers have grown less efficient. Lower productivity can force employers to hire more in the short run. But it also holds down pay. Higher productivity, by contrast, would enable employers to pay more without having to raise prices on their products.

Behind tough talk on Russia, G-7 leaders face tough reality

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Behind the tough talk on Russia expected from President Barack Obama and other leaders gathering in Germany this weekend is a stark reality.

None of the world powers believes the economic and diplomatic punishments levied on Russia for its alleged aggression in Ukraine are changing President Vladimir Putin’s calculus, yet there are no plans to shift strategies.

At most, leaders hope to emerge from two days of talks in the Bavarian Alps with an agreement to keep U.S. and European Union sanctions against Russia in place, and perhaps a pledge to enact deeper economic penalties if the crisis escalates. While there is little expectation that a show of unity will lead to a quick resolution in Ukraine, officials hope it will at least give Putin pause if he is considering ratcheting up Russia’s moves.

A fresh outbreak of violence

between government troops and pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine is threatening to derail an already tenuous cease-fire.

The fact that sanctions have not altered Putin’s military posture is “a sign of how heedless the Russian government seems to be about the longterm welfare of its own people that it has not yet resulted in a change, in a reversal at least, of course, which is what we want out of Russia,” Defense Secretary Ash Carter told reporters after a Friday meeting in Germany with American military and diplomatic leaders.

The Group of Seven summit marks the second year in a row that leaders from the United States, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan will assemble without Putin. After Russia annexed territory from Ukraine last year, the world powers kicked Russia out of what had been called the Group of Eight, a move aimed at isolating Putin and signaling the West’s united opposition to his provocative actions.

Yet Putin remains a major

“It created this cloud of controversy around what is the U.S. strategy: Why did [Kerry] go?”

Julianne Smith former Obama White House official player on pressing issues.

Russia is a partner of the U.S. and other nations in the nuclear talks with Iran, an Obama priority. Putin is a linchpin in any discussions on resolving the civil war in Syria, given Russia’s status as President Bashar Assad’s biggest benefactor.

Republicans have accused Obama of putting his interest in the Iran nuclear talks above supporting Ukraine. GOP White House hopeful Jeb Bush is set to arrive in Europe just as Obama departs, with stops in Germany, Poland and Estonia. Bush is expected to pledge broader U.S. backing for the region if elected president.

White House officials defend the engagement with Rus-

sia on Iran and other matters, and say the U.S. can work with Moscow on issues of mutual interest while also confronting Putin over Ukraine.

But experts say Secretary of State John Kerry’s meetings with Putin in Russia last month raised questions in Europe about whether Washington might be pursuing a new policy toward the Kremlin.

Kerry’s trip was the first time a senior U.S. official has traveled to Russia since Moscow annexed the Crimean Peninsula from Ukraine.

“It created this cloud of controversy around what is the U.S. strategy: Why did he go?” said Julianne Smith, a former Obama White House official who is now a senior fellow at the Center for New American Security. “So I think there’ll be a little bit of mopping up from that trip.”

European nations are watching whether the U.S. commitment to isolating and penalizing Russia is weakening. Europe has far stronger ties to Russia than the U.S. and some leaders face pressure

from the business community to ease off penalties that have affected their finances.

Still, the European Union is expected to renew expiring sanctions later this summer.

Thousands of people gathered Saturday in a town a few miles from the summit venue to protest a range of causes, including a proposed trans-Atlantic trade deal, before the leaders’ arrival.

Obama departed Washington Saturday evening after delivering an emotional eulogy at the funeral service for Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Beau. Joining Obama on Air Force One for the trip to Germany were four House Democrats who support his efforts to win special authority to negotiate a Pacific Rim trade deal.

The trade debate on Capitol Hill is being closely watched

by G-7 leaders. While Obama has Senate backing to seek fasttrack authority of the Trans Pacific Partnership pact, he faces a steep challenge in getting his own party’s support in the House. Japan and Canada are both part of TPP.

Ukraine rebels eager to fight The Associated Press

• Sunday, June 7, 2015

DOKUCHAYEVSK, Ukraine – In this front-line town in eastern Ukraine, the cease-fire called more than three months ago seems to be only an insulting guise. Shelling rocks the area so often that dogs have learned to head for the basement at the first blast.

Everyone wants the shelling to stop, both the town’s civilians and the rebels who control it. That weariness points paradoxically toward new violence.

The rebels are itching for an end to the pretense and wish their leaders would give the order for a full-out assault.

“We’ve asked them for permission, but all they say is: ‘No, no, no,’ ” said one rebel sniper, who goes by the call-sign Rzhavy.

The hollowness of the phony armistice was rudely exposed this week as a ferocious one-day battle erupted on the western edge of the main rebel stronghold, Donetsk. International appeals for calm and restraint duly followed.

Instead, the menacing sound of heavy-duty artillery is again being heard along the front.

Under the internationally-brokered peace agreement, all firepower with a caliber over 100mm should have been pulled far back from the front line. But international monitors say the heavy weapons may be getting brought back – recent trips to holding points for the big guns found many that had once been there to be gone.

At the intersection of a country lane leading out of Dokuchayevsk, about 12 miles south of Donetsk, separatist militiaman take turns on guard by an anti-tank rocket propped on concrete blocks.

Across the road stands an Orthodox crucifix pocked with bullet holes and the words “save and protect” written on a crossbeam. The roof of a dilapidated warehouse nearby bears signs of a shell strike.

“So they fire at us at the checkpoints. Fine, we’re fight-

ers here,” said a bespectacled rebel militiaman, who adopted the nom de guerre Odessa in honor of his native city. “But there are civilians living near here. They just hurl stuff at them, too.”

One shell last week fell onto Yelena Ignatova’s roof, but spared her meticulously tended garden plot of tomatoes, peppers and cabbages. Residents like Ignatova pray desperately for peace, but have little faith that diplomacy is the way to achieve it.

“What did we need the peace agreement for?” she said. “Just to give the Ukrainian army the chance to reinforce here?”

The diplomatic path’s prospects appeared to further dim this month when the latest round of talks between rebels, Russia and Ukraine ended with no visible progress. On Saturday, the talks’ moderator, Swiss diplomat Heidi Tagliavini, resigned.

The units holding the line in Dokuchayevsk are a varied crew. Some are from nearby towns and cities. The voyage there has been longer for others, like Valery, an ethnic Evenk from the Siberian region of Yakutia in Russia, around 3,300 miles to the east.

Valery, who agreed only to give his first name, said he completed a three-year contract with the Russian army in September and decided to travel to Ukraine after growing bored of civilian life.

“My granny told me that men should fight, so I came here,” he said.

Dokuchayevsk is only one of multiple potential flashpoints.

The worst violence to hit east Ukraine in months broke out Wednesday in Marinka, a satellite suburb of apartment buildings outside Donetsk.

Following a well-rehearsed pattern, both sides blamed one another for sparking the fighting. An official account by monitors from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe describes movements of rebel forces in Donetsk on the eve of the battle that suggest the initiative may have been with them.

Pope Francis arrives Saturday at the John Paul II Diocesan Youth Center in Sarajevo, Bosnia-Herzegovina. Pope Francis learned of the horrors of Bosnia’s fratricidal war of the 1990s and its slow process of healing Saturday during a one-day visit to Sarajevo, where he urged Muslims, Orthodox Christians and Catholics to put the “barbarity” of the past behind them and work together for a peaceful future.

Pope urges Bosnians to put fratricidal past behind them

By AIDA CERKEZ and NICOLE WINFIELD The Associated Press SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina – Pope Francis heard about the horrors of Bosnia’s fratricidal war of the 1990s and its slow process of healing Saturday as he visited Sarajevo to urge Muslims, Orthodox and Catholics to put the “barbarity” of the past behind them and work together for a peaceful future.

Thousands of cheering Bosnians gave Francis a joyous welcome, lining his motorcade route through the mostly Muslim city of 300,000.

Another 65,000 people, most of them Catholics, packed the same Sarajevo stadium where St. John Paul II presided over an emotional post-war Mass of reconciliation in 1997.

Francis said he was coming to Sarajevo for a daylong trip to encourage the process of peace and reconciliation and show his support for Bosnia’s tiny Catholic community. With Croat passports in hand, many Catholics have

“Think of how much they suffered ... and live a life that is worthy of the cross of Jesus Christ.”

Pope Francis speaking at Sarajevo’s cathedral fled high unemployment in Bosnia to search for better opportunities in the European Union.

The most poignant moment of the day came when two Catholic priests and a nun told Francis of their experiences during the war, of having been kidnapped, tortured and starved by Muslim or Serb Orthodox Christian troops and threatened with death. Moved by the testimony, Francis bowed down to one of them and asked for his blessing.

Speaking off the cuff, Francis told the gathering of priests and nuns in Sarajevo’s cathedral that they must never forget the “cruelty” inflicted on their fellow Catholics – not to

seek vengeance, but to show the power of forgiveness.

“In your blood, in your vocation, there is the blood of these three martyrs,” a visibly moved Francis said. “Think of how much they suffered ... and live a life that is worthy of the cross of Jesus Christ.”

It was a reminder to today’s Catholics of the strong faith of their ancestors – and a bid to encourage them to stay put to keep Bosnia’s Catholic community alive.

Sarajevo was once known as “Europe’s Jerusalem” for the peaceful coexistence of its Christians, Muslims and Jews. It became synonymous with religious enmity during the 1992-95 conflict that left 100,000 dead and displaced half the population.

Muslim Bosniaks, Catholic Croats and Christian Orthodox Serbs fought a three-way war over the country’s independence after Yugoslavia fell apart. A U.S.-mediated peace agreement confirmed Bosnia’s independence but divided the once mixed country along ethnic lines.

Auto replacement parts market looks positive Dear Mr. Berko: In March 2014, I asked you about investing in Tesla, and you told me Tesla is not an investment but rather a stupid speculation. I was surprised by your various negative comments about Elon Musk and his business management skills. But I still bought 200 shares of Tesla at $216. I sold it last month at $236. It took me that long to realize that you were right.

I’d like to know your opinion of the car and truck replacement parts and accessories business as a medium-term investment. My stockbroker believes AutoZone is the best investment of the lot, and he thinks the stock will split.

He also suggested I take a flier on a French cell phone company called Orange. I would sincerely appreciate your comments. – DL, Destin, Florida Dear DL: I think P.T. Bar-

num and Elon Musk would have been great buddies.

Tesla, one of the greatest shows of the 21st century, is

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko making fools out of millions of Americans. Tesla (TSLA-$252) makes beautiful cars; however, I’m convinced this company lacks the right product and the necessary management skills and it will never earn a profit. But its stock price has been impressive, and with a $29 billion market cap, TSLA is worth half as much as Ford, even though Ford sells 75 times as many vehicles.

According to the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics, at the close of last year there were approximately 260 million registered passenger vehicles traveling America’s highways and byways east and west of the Mississippi.

And according to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average age of those vehicles is 11.4 years. Now the Federal Highway Administration, a division of the U.S. De-

partment of Transportation, tells us that the average male drove 14,282 miles in 2013. Seeing as the average passenger vehicle, according to former Chrysler CEO Thomas LaSorda, has about 10,000 moving parts, quite a few of those moving parts will eventually begin to show wear and tear.

And because it’s less costly to replace worn brake pads or install a rebuilt water pump than it is to purchase a new car (according to Rep. Nancy Pelosi), AutoZone (AZO-$679) should continue to increase its revenues, earnings and share price.

The automobile parts replacement industry is almost as profit-positive and recession-proof as the health care industry. AZO has 5,500 stores in the U.S. and over 400 stores in Mexico, and the company’s consistently superb management team has increased revenues and earnings for 21 consecutive years. AZO’s aggressive share buyback program has reduced the number of outstanding

shares to 30 million in 2015 from 166 million in 1995. This year, revenues are expected to top $10.2 billion, and share earnings should come in at $36.15, translating to a very conservative price-earnings ratio of 18.6-to-1. Revenues for 2016 may top $11 billion and generate share earnings of $40.95, and that would be an extremely attractive P/E of 16.4-to-1.

Finally, projected 2017 revenues of $11.8 billion should generate share earnings of $44.25, and observers believe that AZO could trade between $795 and $830 a share. Therefore, Credit Suisse, Argus Financial Services, Reuters, Morningstar and Value Line have a solid “buy” recommendation on AZO, even though it doesn’t pay a dividend and even though I doubt the stock will split.

Management has established an impressive footprint in Africa, which is an attractive high-growth market. And Africa is where ORAN will continue to generate above-average revenues, selling and leasing fixed-line equipment, mobile devices, platform and network services, cloud computing services, collaborative services, satellite access infrastructures, Wi-Fi access, and fiber-optic lines.

OUR VIEW

Lawmakers shouldn’t be lawbreakers People who make the law shouldn’t break the law, right?

That’s just common sense to us.

Those elected to positions of public trust have a legal and moral obligation to abide by the law.

But this is Illinois, a state known for public corruption – a state where making the law and breaking the law far too often go hand in hand. So perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised that another Illinois politician has been charged with breaking the law.

Republican Dennis Hastert, 73, is the retired former speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives, serving in that powerful role from 1999 to 2007. At that time, he lived in Yorkville.

Hastert has been indicted on charges of evading bank regulations regarding the withdrawal of hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and lying to the FBI about it. Each count carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

Hastert, according to the indictment, paid hush money to an unidentified person, “Individual A,” to keep “prior misconduct” a secret. The indictment stated Hastert had agreed to pay $3.5 million, withdrew a total of around $1.7 million from bank accounts during 201014, and provided that money to Individual A. The hush money, reportedly, was paid to conceal claims Hastert sexually molested someone decades ago.

Hastert has made no statement on the indictment, and we note that he is presumed innocent until proved guilty.

Even so, the former House speaker joins a long list of Illinois public officials investigated by prosecutors, charged, tried or convicted.

Aaron Schock, a Republican from Peoria, resigned his U.S. House seat in March amid an investigation into his spending practices. Schock has not been charged, but a federal grand jury in Springfield has heard testimony from former aides.

Two other Illinois legislators in trouble with the law learned their fates this year.

Former state Rep. Derrick Smith, a Chicago Democrat, was sentenced to five months in prison for a federal bribery conviction. Former state Rep. Keith Farnham, an Elgin Democrat, was sentenced to eight years in prison for sending child pornography through office computers.

GUEST VIEW Kathleen Rhine they need it.

Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center and hospitals across Illinois strongly supported this legislation as a reasonable and sensible approach to controlling health care costs for our state without sacrificing needed patient care.

As a part of Senate Bill 788, hospitals agreed to contribute their share to address the state budget by paying a higher assessment to the state to preserve federal matching funds for health care services under the Medicaid program.

Sen. McGuire and Reps.

Manley and Walsh are to be commended for recognizing the important role of their hospitals in providing high-quality health care services, keeping the local economy strong, and transforming Medicaid and the health care system for better outcomes and lower costs. As the General Assembly works to finalize the state budget this summer, we urge our local legislators to continue supporting the key health care provisions of Senate Bill 788 – and to make sure they are included in the final budget package.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Stop using profanity in office, on the street

To the Editor: The following statements are conversational facts of our culture: Profanity is used in the office, on the streets, at sporting events and in the workplace.

Profanity is not used in church.

I am willing to state that the person who uses profanity, in their normal conversation, at one time or another has been inside a church. I also am willing to say that person would never think to use a four-letter expletive while there. I wonder why? is it possible that person would be chagrined to think that God would hear them?

Is God only in church? As a Christian I am taught that God can be everywhere, not just in a church edifice.

Another thought that comes to mind is that the English language is one of the few languages that have developed certain slang words to be used as profanity.

The person who uses profanity might be lacking in their ability to express themselves in another way. It is evident that people use profanity to exaggerate or embellish their statements to make them more noticeable.

It is a shame, since there are many good multi-syllable words that can easily take the place of a four-letter word, with just as much noticeability.

I recalling reading a column in the Tribune some years ago by

Jack Mabley that touched on the subject. In the column was the statement “profanity,” a means of making ignorance of the English language audible.

So until I hear my minister using some choice from profanity from the pulpit (which would then be considered common usage and not profanity), I would suggest that the hypocrites who never use profanity in church stop using it in the office, factory and on the street.

Ban confidentiality clauses in agreements

To the Editor: In February, the Illinois Senate Democratic Caucus requested compensation data and employment contracts for selected administrative positions from all nine public universities and 46 community colleges over the past 10 years.

They recently released a scathing report of their findings. They found that some administrators were receiving memberships to country clubs, car services and appointment contracts of more than five years in length that led to six-figure severance agreements.

Tuition at Illinois’ public universities has skyrocketed and compensation for executives has not lagged far behind. The report further found that while the process of creating and altering executive compensa-

tion packages should be open to the public, that process can be subverted.

As Illinois needs to better monitor its spending so that we can properly allocate money to those that truly need it, we must ensure that the process is opened up. Careless spending is to be expected when a group or person is spending money that isn’t their own.

However, it’s even worse if the process or details are hidden behind closed doors.

As eye-opening as this report was, the unfortunate truth is that this doesn’t just occur in our higher education institutions. House Bill 303 bans confidentiality clauses in severance and settlement agreements; not only in colleges, but any that use taxpayer money to pay for them. It’s a small step, but it is the right step toward government transparency and fiscal accountability.

After passing the House overwhelmingly back in April, the bill was finally approved unanimously by a State Senate committee on May 29. However, it still remains to be called for a final vote. Contact your Senator and tell them to vote “yes” on House Bill 303.

Mail to The Herald-News, Letters to the Editor, 2175 Oneida St., Joliet, IL 60435. to do what I have done …’ Well, not me really, but studies, now commonplace, have established the best reasons I have seen yet for a teen to voluntarily avoid marijuana and to berate their peers who don’t heed the warnings.

Reason one: You will be dumber than your non-using peer. Why? Brains don’t fully develop until we’re 25 to 30.

The important frontal cortex development is jumbled and permanently screwed up by frequent marijuana use. This is the area of the brain associated with decision-making ability, organizational skills, memory and attention span.

Frequent users consistently rate lower on IQ tests than non-users.

And, things don’t improve just because you stop: You’ve bought this diminished condition for life due to your teenage and pre-25 marijuana habit. This brain development danger appears to not exist after age 30.

Reason two: You’ll never get a good job. Why? The good jobs screen out drug users through testing. If you use marijuana, the THC chemical will stay in your bloodstream for 2 to 4 weeks, dude. That means, before you can go to that interview, you’ve got to be clean for at least 2 weeks.

Then you’ve got to hope they don’t catch you with random testing. Back to mom’s basement and the burrito line.

According to the DEA, THC concentration in pot has gone from 4 percent in 1995 to 13 percent today – stronger and longer in the system.

Solution: If you’re going to do something illegal, drink beer like a normal teenager. It’s out of the system in a day, doesn’t hurt your brain too much and you can get a good job, make executive decisions, make $1 million before you’re 30 – and then smoke marijuana if you want.

Hastert the latest Illinois official accused of wrongdoing • LAWMAKERS

Continued from page 35 Meanwhile, former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., a Chicago Democrat, has a release date of Sept. 20 as he continues to serve his federal prison sentence (now in a halfway house) for using hundreds of thousands of dollars of campaign money on personal luxury items.

Other examples of lawmakers and other elected officials who became lawbreakers: former governors Rod Blagojevich (still in prison), George Ryan, Dan Walker (who died last month) and Otto Kerner; Secretary of State Paul Powell, who died in 1970 with shoeboxes full of cash in his hotel room; former U.S. Rep. Dan Rostenkowski (mail fraud); former Attorney Gen. William J. Scott (income tax

evasion); Orville Hodge, who stole millions from the state as auditor of public accounts in the 1950s, and former state Treasurer Jerry Cosentino (bank fraud).

Illinois political corruption goes back to the founding of the state, when some politicians bought votes with free whiskey. The graft is well documented, most recently in “Corrupt Illinois,” a 2015 book

by Thomas Gradel and Dick

Simpson, and in a chapter of the 2014 book “Fixing Illinois”

by James Nowlan and Thomas Johnson.

Nowlan and Johnson offered suggestions for stemming the tide of public corruption.

Among them: Stress ethics, government and civics more in schools; have ongoing campaigns to promote integrity in government and politics; enact public financing for

campaigns; amend the Illinois Constitution to remove redistricting powers from politicians; put teeth into sanctions imposed on any legislator who violates the Illinois General Assembly’s Code of Conduct; and prohibit retired legislators from lobbying the Legislature for at least one year.

Add to that list our simple plea: If you make the law, don’t break the law.

CLASS 4A JOLIET CENTRAL SECTIONAL SOFTBALL FINAL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 2, PLAINFIELD CENTRAL 1

LWE tops Central with pitching, homer

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Senior catcher Blake Ruiz stepped up to the plate in the bottom of the sixth to lead off for the Lincoln-Way East softball team in 1-all tie.

Down in the count 1-2, Ruiz launched the ball onto the nearby train tracks for a home run.

That was the swing East needed to overcome Plainfield Central, 2-1, and win the Class 4A Joliet Central Sectional title Saturday morning.

The Griffins will face Edwardsville in the Class 4A Normal Supersectional at 4:30 p.m.

Monday. If they win, they will make the trip to state for the second year in a row.

“I just wanted to put it in play,” Ruiz said of the home run. “I didn’t want to do anything special. I guess it just happened.”

The “just happened” was all the Griffins (28-4) needed to win because of a strong pitching performance by senior Nikole Van Gennep. After starting the game by throwing three consecutive balls, Van Gennep struck out the first two batters.

“In the beginning of the game, I was a little nervous,” Van Gennep admitted, “but I stayed focused because I knew that I had a great team behind me. We have a great defense. I just went up and did what I’ve been doing my whole life.”

Van Gennep struck out nine Wildcats, allowed four hits, walked nobody and allowed no earned runs.

“We knew that the pitcher was going to be pretty fast, and we prepared for it,” Central senior Baylee Taylor said, “but I heard the girls coming in saying that they didn’t expect it to be that fast. We tried our best to time her up, but that was our biggest struggle the whole game.”

Van Gennep dominated in the circle and also started a successful fourth for the Griffins with a base hit. Ruiz reached on a fielder’s choice.

Plainfield Central senior Jenny Newtoff caught a popup for the second out.

The Wildcats (29-5) had two innings where they threatened.

In the fourth, sophomore Maria Connell’s single advanced senior Megan Muldoon, who had reached on an error. With two outs, junior Sammy Sabor singled in Muldoon to gave the Wildcats the lead. Sabor advanced to second, and Connell reached first, but Van Gennep struck out the next batter to strand two.

Muldoon laid down a perfect sacrifice bunt in the sixth inning and reached base on an East error that allowed senior alive, senior Rachel Twohig Cara Cassara, who had come Michaela Schlattman reach singled, then junior Lauren in as a courtesy runner for third. Muldoon then stole Herlihy drove in freshman Ruiz, to tie the score at 1. second to put two runners in

scoring position with no outs.

However, Herlihy caught a line drive, Van Gennep struck out the next batter, and senior Jenny Van Geertry caught a fly ball to end the inning.

“The whole game, we were struggling to hit, so when you get base runners on, you have to take advantage,” Central coach Anne Campbell said.

“You can’t let those opportunities get by with that pitcher.”

Sophomore Brooklyn Daly (26-4) struck out four and allowed six hits, hit one and walked another. Schlattman, Muldoon, Sabor and Daly each had a hit for Central in their last game of a successful season in which the Wildcats went undefeated in Southwest Prairie Conference play.

“I think we played a really good game,” Taylor said.

“Overall, I’m proud to be a Wildcat at the end of the day even though we lost. It was a great season, and I’m happy that I got to play with all of these wonderful girls.”

Central will graduate seven players who all played important leadership roles on the team.

“We had a great season,” Campbell said. “My seniors, an incredible group, led this team, and they’re going to be missed. I’m very proud of this team. They battled all season long; 29-5 is nothing to be ashamed of at all.”

Aside from the Griffins’ 2-1 sectional semifinal win over Lincoln-Way Central, Plainfield Central has been East’s toughest competition so far this postseason.

East hasn’t played Edwardsville this season, but the Griffins will have the same game plan they had against Plainfield Central – practice hard, play hard and play together as a team with a positive attitude.

“We knew that this was going to be a good game today because Plainfield Central is a good team,” Van Gennep said. “We never played them before, so I didn’t know what to expect.

“We’re going to take it game by game and stay positive and keep practicing hard.”

CLASS 4A BLOOMINGTON SECTIONAL BASEBALL FINAL: O’FALLON 6, MINOOKA 0

Indians finish up at 23-14 after starting out the season 3-10

By ROB OESTERLE BLOOMINGTON – Sometimes, you just have to tip your cap to the other team after a loss.

That was the case Saturday for Minooka’s baseball team after a 6-0 loss to O’Fallon in the championship game of the Class 4A Bloomington Sectional at Illinois Wesleyan University’s Jack Horenberger Field.

O’Fallon pitcher Brad Harrison was in control from the start, and he finished by allowing only two hits and no walks while striking out 12. He retired the last 14 Minooka batters he faced as the Panthers advanced to Monday’s supersectional at Corn Crib Stadium in Normal against defending Class 4A state champion Providence Catholic.

“Their kid did a great job,” Minooka coach Jeff Petrovic said. “He had a good slider and, when a pitcher is dealing like he was, you have to try to find ways to get runs. We weren’t able to do that today, unfortunately.”

The Indians (23-14), who won 20 of their last 24 games after starting the season 3-10, had runners on in each of the first three innings. Leadoff hitter Hayden Laczynski reached on an error to start the bottom of the first inning, and Cole Thompson singled with two outs in the second.

Neither advanced past first base, however.

In the bottom of the third, Minooka had its best scoring chance. Jonny Butler led off the inning with a double to left-center. An out later, Jake Null hit a dribbler in front of the plate that the O’Fallon catcher could not pick up with his bare hand, which put runners on first and third. Null went to second on a pitch in the dirt, but Harrison retired the final two hitters of the inning. Null was the last Minooka player to reach base as Harrison struck out the side in the fourth and fifth innings and retired the Indians in order in the sixth and seventh,

“We had some chances early on,” Petrovic said. “If we score a run or two early on, maybe their pitcher isn’t able to get as comfortable and it’s a different game.”

O’Fallon’s Dillon Wiess led off the game with a walk, but Minooka starter Joe But-

ler induced a popup on a bunt and then struck out the next batter.

With cleanup man Harrison at the plate, Butler was called for a balk when he failed to pause in his set position, and Wiess went to second. Harrison, after fouling off a pair of two-strike pitches,

doubled to right-center, scoring Wiess for a 1-0 lead.

In the top of the fourth, Harrison led off with a single to left, but Minooka catcher Thompson picked courtesy runner Caleb Shelton off first.

Chris Holba then singled to left. A wild pitch sent him to second. Jacob Holl then

struck out on a pitch in the dirt but reached base, and Holba went to third when the ball was inadvertently kicked by the home plate umpire.

Joe Guithues followed with a grounder to second that scored Holba to make it 2-0.

In the top of the sixth, Brad Snyder greeted new Minooka pitcher Miguel Ruiz with a solo homer, and the Panthers put three insurance runs on the board in the top of the seventh.

“Those first couple of runs they scored were strange,” Petrovic said. “We thought we had the kid struck out, but it was called a ball and he walked. Then there’s a balk, and he scores on a double that he wouldn’t have scored on if he was on first. Then we have the umpire kick the ball away from our catcher and it leads to another run, and it’s a different game.

“This team has a lot to be proud of, though. When we started 3-10, no one thought we would be in this position.

It shows the heart of these kids and how much they care, not only about themselves, but about each other and the program.”

CLASS 2A STATE GIRLS SOCCER SEMIFINAL RECAP

Lemont settles for fourth place in 2A

By CURT HERRON

Lemont’s Carli Bermele steals the ball from Carmel’s Angela Salvi during the first half of Friday’s Class 2A state championship semifinal match at North Central College in Naperville.

cherron@shawmedia.com NAPERVILLE – The Lemont’s girls soccer team had allowed only two goals against its last 19 Illinois opponents heading into Friday’s IHSA Class 2A semifinal with Carmel.

So there naturally was some disappointment when the Indians yielded a pair of scores to the Corsairs, including one from long range in the early stages of the match.

But despite falling behind early to a veteran squad that had won the East Suburban Catholic Conference title and navigated a tough playoff route, the Indians hung tough.

Lemont nearly evened the sore in the opening half; and after yielding a late goal, the Indians quickly responded with a score to make things interesting again.

But Carmel held on to capture a 2-1 victory for a finals berth against Glenwood while Lemont settled for its third trip to the third-place match in the past five years.

The Indians (18-6-3) wound up dropping a 1-0 decision to Peoria Notre Dame in Saturday’s third-place match after the Irish scored on a penalty kick in the 69th minute.

“I thought that it was a 5050 game,” Lemont coach Rick Prangen said. “We kept the game in front of us pretty well and gave them two chances, and they scored on those two chances. I was a little disappointed with us going forward, since we weren’t as composed or kept the ball nearly enough.

But that said, we had some set pieces to get back in the game.

“We hit the crossbar in the first half, and Aleks (Aleksandra Mihailovic) hit a fine goal in the second half to make it 2-1, and it’s a ball game from there. We’re a very young team, and at some points we had six freshmen out there playing. So there was a little inexperience and a little lack of physicality. But our keeper, Michelle (Jerantowski), played brilliantly, and Sarah Knoepfle did a great job on shutting down their forward as best as she could.”

After Lemont suffered

heavy graduation losses from a year ago, most observers didn’t expect to see the youthful Indians making another state run this season.

But after an early season loss to Benet Academy, the Indians went 16-0-3 against teams from this state, capping things off with a 1-0 supersectional win over St. Francis, which

also was Prangen’s 300th victory during his 21 years at the school.

That earned Lemont its fourth trip to the final four in the past seven years. But the squad’s hopes of getting back to the championship match for the first time since 2009 were dashed by a Corsairs squad that never before had captured

a state trophy.

The Indians had won eight straight since losing three times in two days against out-of-state competition in a tournament more than a month ago.

Carmel (20-3-1) moved in front for good in the seventh minute when Amanda Lasso found Megan Runyan, who connected on a long-distance attempt.

But Lemont nearly got the equalizer in the 26th minute when Mairead Ruane sent in a free kick that goalkeeper Christina O’Block deflected, with the ball bouncing off the crossbar.

Early in the final half, Indians keeper Jerantowski came up with two of her eight saves on attempts by Runyan.

The Indians threatened again in the 64th minute when Mihailovic put a corner kick in the box; but after it was headed, Carli Bermele sent a header to O’Block, who had four saves.

The Corsairs took a 2-0 lead in the 67th minute when Runyan’s free kick was touched by Emma Kobitter before Angela Salvi put in the short shot for the goal.

But Lemont responded

quickly, scoring in the 68th minute when Savannah Brija directed a pass to Mihailovic, who fired a liner from about 30 yards out that sailed inside the post.

That was the 28th goal for the all-state senior forward, who holds the school’s single-season record for goals scored.

“We needed to play like we were meant to be here,” Mihailovic said. “We have eight freshmen and only four seniors, so we just wanted to come out and give it our best effort. In the first half, Ruane’s free kick hit the post, and we were so close. But moments like that define a team, and if you stick with it or just go through the motions dictates the outcome.

“I’m very proud of how our team has done this season. We didn’t even think that we’d make it past the supersectional. We had no idea how we’d finish, so we just took it one game at a time and ended up at state, and I think that we earned our way here. We didn’t have the confidence early, but we were a very close team.”

CLASS 3A MORRIS SECTIONAL SOFTBALL FINAL: PEOTONE 7, JOLIET CATHOLIC 1

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, June 7, 2015

MORRIS – Senior first baseman Carley Maupin is quite a leadoff hitter for the Peotone softball team.

All she did Saturday morning was rip a home run, triple and two singles in four at-bats, score four times and drive in two runs.

That – combined with the four-hit, 14-strikeout pitching of junior right-hander Allie Johnson – supplied the impetus for the Blue Devils’ 7-1 victory over Joliet Catholic in the championship game of the Class 3A Morris Sectional.

“This was one of our best games, focuswise,” Maupin said. “We were really pumped coming into it. We had a lot of confidence.”

Maupin did everything she could to derail the Angels (1916), who had gotten on a roll late in the season and in the postseason. She singled to ignite a two-run first inning when Jordan Thweatt and Johnson delivered run-scoring singles, homered in the second, singled home a run in front of Ellie Hagemaster’s two-run double in a three-run fourth, and tripled and scored on a wild pitch in the sixth.

“Carley has been our Johnny-on-the-spot,” Peotone coach Andy Zwolinski said. “It seems like whenever we need a big hit, she comes through.”

“They hit the ball really, really well,” JCA coach Dave Douglas said. “They hit it in the gaps and over the fence.

You can’t field those.

“But what happened today does not diminish the great run we had. We lose only three seniors. We have a lot to reload with. We will take care of it.”

JCA also built threats in the third and fifth innings, but Johnson met those challenges. She struck out three batters in each of the first, second and fifth innings en route to her total of 14, walked two and hit one.

“We swung at some bad pitches the whole game,” Douglas said. “And, we caught them when they were hot. But to be honest, nobody a couple of weeks ago would have said we are going to play for the sectional championship.”

“We definitely were not expected to get this far.

We had a good run.”

Alyssa Callans Joliet Catholic starting pitcher

Peotone (32-6), which will play in the supersectional at 4:30 p.m. Monday at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington, never had won a sectional. JCA, which slipped past Morris, 3-2, in the sectional semifinal, was bidding for its first sectional title since the 1988 Angels finished fourth in

the state in Class AA under then-coach Terry Benter.

“We definitely were not expected to get this far,” said JCA junior pitcher Alyssa Callans, who worked the first six innings. “We had a good run.

I’m happy how far our team has come. They (Blue Devils) are good hitters. We’ll have to get them next year.”

Maupin was the only Blue Devil with more than one hit, as Alyssa Callans struck out five, walked two and hit a batter. Alivia Phelps pitched the seventh inning and allowed a walk and no runs.

Paige Callans had two hits for JCA. Brenna Garland and Alyssa Callans had the only

other Angels’ hits off Johnson.

“Allie has been having a great postseason,” Zwolinski said of Johnson. “She is controlling our defensive side of the game. She knows she has a good defense behind her and doesn’t have to strike out as many as she did today, but she really pitched well.”

“Allie knows what she wants to throw,” Maupin said.

“With that confidence, she can take our team a long way.”

Zwolinski said the three seniors in his lineup – Maupin, catcher Hagemaster and shortstop Emily Carstens – “really stepped up.” Hagemaster had a sacrifice in addition to her two-run double, and Carstens doubled and walked twice.

“The one thing I stressed is that we need to outwork our opponents,” Zwolinski said.

“I have to credit our seniors.

It’s exciting to see all the hard work they put in pay off.”

CLASS 4A MARIST SECTIONAL BASEBALL FINAL: PROVIDENCE 4, MARIAN CATHOLIC 3

Kelley’s double sparks Providence past Marian

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – When your team has a knack for coming up with big hits in key situations, a certain confidence sets in – and Tom Kelley displayed that Saturday.

With the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the sixth, the Providence Catholic junior extended the count to 3-2 against Marian Catholic’s Mark DiLuia before hitting what proved to be the game-winner in the Class 4A Marist Sectional championship game.

Kelley doubled to left field, which cleared the bags and put his team in front for good as the Celtics rallied to claim a 4-3 victory over the Spartans.

Marian scored a pair of twoout runs in the seventh to narrow the gap before senior starter Brent Villasenor recorded his fourth strikeout to wrap up a complete-game six-hitter.

“I was trying to slow the game down and not let the game get ahead of me,” Kelley said. “You have to stay confident and relaxed. I saw a cou-

ple of pitches that I didn’t like and took a hack at it on 3-1 and fouled it off. At 3-2, he came back with a fastball, and I put my best swing on it and got the job done. This was probably the biggest hit that I’ve had, especially in a sectional championship game in that type of situation.

“A lot of times, you’ll notice that we get down early, but there’s no giving up on this team, just like last year. We’re definitely confident moving forward, even though we’ve had close calls in these last two games. We’re on a high and aren’t ready to back down to anybody.”

As a result of its comeback, Providence (28-11) won its third sectional title in five years. The defending Class 4A champions will meet O’Fallon at 6 p.m. Monday in the University of Illinois Supersectional, which has been moved to The Corn Crib in Normal.

Coach Mark Smith’s squad trailed Marian (21-15-1), 1-0, going into the bottom of the sixth and had only one hit while advancing two runners into scoring position against DiLuia,

“We’re playing some confident ball right now, and hopefully we can move that forward to the supersectional and get that ball game. That will be a big one to win.”

Brent Villasenor Providence starting pitcher who allowed only three hits and struck out six in 52⁄3 innings.

But that’s when things began to unravel for the sophomore righthander. Jackson Stulas led off the sixth with a double down the left field line, then DiLuia hit both Zach Pych and pinch hitter Joey Strick as they tried to make sacrifice bunts.

With the bases loaded and no outs, Matt Waznis hit a sacrifice fly to left to tie the score.

After a grounder, Justin Hunniford walked to load the bases for Kelley (2 for 2).

In Marian’s seventh, Chris Austin doubled in DiLuia (2 for 3) and scored on a hit up the middle by Dan Gutierrez (2 for 2). But Villasenor struck out the final batter.

“It was a pitchers’ duel for sure, but that’s playoff baseball,” Villasenor said. “In those games, you have to minimize the damage and hopefully get a hit or two that will punch a couple of runs across. My fastball was working, and I got a lot of ground balls and contact outs, and that’s all that you can ask for. They were relentless and had a lot of mojo going after beating a couple of teams that were ranked higher than them.

“We’re playing some confident ball right now, and hopefully we can move that forward to the supersectional and get that ball game. That will be a big one to win.”

Marian moved in front in the fourth after Kellen Wil-

liams drew a leadoff walk, was sacrificed to second, took third on a grounder and came home on DiLuia’s hit to center.

After leaving a runner stranded at third in the second, the Celtics didn’t threaten again until the fifth, when they loaded the bases.

Jimmy Jeffries reached on a one-out error and Brendan O’Hara ran for him. Kelley and Matt Diehl drew two-out walks, but DiLuia got out of the jam by coaxing a fly out.

“Our guys are confident and have been through this enough in the last two years, so I don’t think they’re fazed by anything,” Smith said. “They stay loose, and that’s so key in these types of game where there’s pressure on every play.

“Their kid has a bright future, and he pitched a heckuva game and, I think, just got tired at the end. [Waznis] got the big sac fly to tie it; and then, with two outs and the bases loaded, Tom put it in the right spot. Brent also pitched a great game. There was a lot of pressure on him since he knew that he had to put up goose eggs to keep us in the game.”

CLASS 4A ROMEOVILLE SECTIONAL BASEBALL FINAL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 3, DOWNERS GROVE SOUTH 1

Vanek, Plainfield North knock out DG South

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent ROMEOVILLE – The third time was the charm Saturday for Plainfield North baseball coach John Darlington and his Tigers at the Class 4A Romeoville Sectional championship game.

After failing in two previous sectional finals – one last season, 10-1, to Downers Grove South – the Tigers rode Matt Vanek’s three-hitter to a 3-1 victory. North thus brings home the school’s first Class 4A sectional plaque.

The Tigers (30-7) move on the 7:30 p.m. Monday Class 4A Crestwood Supersectional at Standard Bank Stadium.

They will take on Mount Carmel (34-7), the No. 1 team in Illinois, according to the Prep

Baseball Report. The Caravan edged St. Rita, 5-4, to win their sectional title.

Downers Grove South (306) got on the board first, in the bottom of the second without the benefit of a hit. Ben Ficht’s groundout scored Ryan Taylor, who was plunked by Vanek, to lead off the inning.

The Tigers responded with a pair of runs in the top of the third. Bryan VanDuser tied the score at 1 with an RBI single, driving home Richard Bryza, who walked leading off.

With two outs, Josh Garner drove home Zach Jarosz (2 for 4) and VanDuser, who also had singled, for a 2-1 Tiger lead.

“This was awesome to finally win our first sectional championship in school history,” VanDuser said. “I just did what I had to do to single that

run home in the third inning.

We don’t care who we play Monday. We are ready, and we will be there.”

“It’s unbelievable to win our first sectional,” Garner said. “It was a lot of fun out there today. It felt good to do my job and drive home the lead run with the single. We are really looking forward to our first supersectional game.”

The Tigers added an insurance run in the top of the fourth. Matt Babuskow ripped his second hit, a leadoff double. With one out, Bryza hit an RBI double for a 3-1 lead.

“This was great to win the sectional today, especially against Downers South,” Bryza said. “They beat us last year, and it was great to win the rematch. We worked really hard to achieve this. Matt [Vanek]

always pitches his heart out for us and was magnificent.

Mount Carmel is a great team, but we will be ready for them.”

Meanwhile, Vanek (7-3) was dealing. The Mustangs picked up their first hit in the bottom of the fourth, a single by Joe LaCivita. Tiger junior left fielder Tyler Garrity made the defensive play of the game – a diving, circus catch in foul territory – for the second out of the inning.

“It unbelievable to win the championship. We could not have done it without our defense,” Vanek said. “I only had one strikeout. I threw strikes, and my defense made the plays. We are looking forward to the supersectional.”

In the bottom of the fifth, the Tigers turned a 4-6-3 double play, VanDuser to Jarosz

to Babuskow, to close the inning. Vanek picked up his only strikeout to end the Mustang sixth. With two outs and a runner on first in the bottom of the seventh, Vanek induced Corey Vondra to fly out to right fielder Garner for the final out.

“We finally got one,” Darlington said. “We finally got some breaks, and I am really happy for our kids winning our first sectional championship.

“Matt Vanek pitched an outstanding game. He battled on the mound. We had some clutch hits and overall played good defense today. I really don’t care who we play on Monday. We just want to enjoy this, and all I can tell you is we will be in Crestwood Monday night. We’ll get directions.”

OTTERS 8, SLAMMERS 2

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, June 7, 2015

JOLIET – Saturday’s middle game of its weekend series with Evansville was a story of what might have been for the Joliet Slammers.

The Slammers had great opportunities to put some runs on the scoreboard in the first two innings, but they managed to cross the plate only once.

That translated into bad news once the Otters started to get hot at the plate midway through the contest, and they went on to capture an 8-2 Frontier League victory before a crowd of 1,533 at Silver Cross Field.

“We didn’t take advantage of our opportunities early on, and we kept them in the game, and then they got a couple of opportunities, and they got the big hits when they needed them,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “We’ve got to do a better job of finding ways to get guys in. Right now, guys are trying to do too much and are swinging at balls out of the zone. That was a game where we could have gotten a bunch of runs early on.

“You don’t know what could have happened, but it would have taken a lot of pressure off of our hitters. All of a sudden, they get the five runs in the fifth inning and three in the sixth, and they get an 8-1 lead and we’re really pressing. I thought our starter did an excellent job in the first four innings and had some very good stuff and got out of a couple of jams. It’s frustrating, but that’s what happens when teams are in a funk.”

Joliet (8-12) hoped to slow down Evansville (14-6), the East Division co-leader, which banged out 13 hits to help it claim a 9-2 victory in Friday’s series opener.

In the first inning, the Slammers got runners to second and third with one out but could not score. It was more of the same in the second as Joliet loaded the bases with no outs but only scored once.

In the second, Russell Moldenhauer (2 for 3) and Mike Garza singled to start the frame and Adam Giacalone followed with a walk to

Moldenhauer came home when Max Casper grounded into a double play to give the Slammers the early lead.

Slammers starter Kevin Walter didn’t allow a run in the first four innings, but Evansville took control in the fifth by scoring five times and then broke things open with a three-run sixth.

In the fifth, Ronnie Richardson doubled in former Slammer JD Dorgan to tie the score, then Nik Balog (4 for 5) singled to put the Otters up for good. John Schultz added a two-run single, and Chris Sweeney (2 for 5) scored on a passed ball.

An inning later, Shayne Houck (2 for 5) smashed a three-run blast over the leftfield fence to provide ample run support for starter and winner Tyler Vail, who allowed one run and five hits in 61⁄3 innings.

The Slammers loaded the bases with one out in the

sixth, but that threat ended with a double-play ball. It was a similar scenario in the seventh, when Joliet again loaded the bases with one out, but reliever Connor Little got out of the mess with two strikeouts.

Joliet, which was outhit 16-8, finally scored again with two outs in the ninth when Phil Bates doubled in Charlie White (2 for 5).

In Friday’s game, the Otters scored four runs in the third inning and three more times in the fifth to grab a decisive 7-0 lead.

Hunter Ridge went 2 for 3, and White was 2 for 5, while Alfredo Rodriguez and JD Williams each drove in a run for the Slammers.

The squads have a 5:05 p.m. scheduled start Sunday, weather permitting. Then Joliet takes Monday off before completing the current homestand with a three-game series against Washington beginning Tuesday.

BELMONT STAKES

American Pharoah catches up to Triple Crown

By BETH HARRIS The Associated Press NEW YORK – Finally, a Triple Crown winner – and after 37 years of waiting, this one was never in doubt.

American Pharoah led all the way Saturday to win the Belmont Stakes by 5½ lengths, becoming the first horse since 1978 to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes – one of the sporting world’s rarest feats.

“Wow! Wow!” jockey Victor Espinoza said moments after crossing the finish line. “I can only tell you it just an amazing thing.”

The bay colt with the unusually short tail easily defeated seven rivals in the grueling 1½-mile race, covering the distance in 2:26.65 to end the longest stretch without a Triple Crown champion in history.

“That little horse, he deserved it,” trainer Bob Baffert said. “He’s the one that did it.

We were basically just passengers.”

American Pharoah is the 12th horse and first since Affirmed in 1978 to win three races on different tracks at varying distances over a five-week span. He won the Derby by one length on May 2 and then romped to a seven-length victory in the rainy Preakness two weeks later before demolishing his rivals Saturday.

Victor Espinoza reacts Saturday after crossing the finish line with American Pharoah to win the 147th running of the Belmont Stakes horse race at Belmont Park in Elmont, N.Y. American Pharoah is the first horse to win the Triple Crown since Affirmed won it in 1978.

“I still can’t believe it happened,” said Baffert, at 62 the second-oldest trainer of a Triple Crown winner.

Baffert and Espinoza ended their own frustrating histories in the Triple Crown. Baffert finally won on his record fourth Triple try, having lost in 1997, 1998 (by a nose) and in 2002.

Espinoza got it done with his

record third shot after failing to win in 2002 and last year on California Chrome.

“I was prepared for somebody coming because I’ve been through this so many times,” Baffert said.

Nobody did, and American Pharoah started kicking away heading into the stretch turn.

He opened up on the field as he

powered down the stretch, displaying his fluid, springloaded stride in which he appears to float over the ground.

Sent off as the overwhelming 3-5 favorite, American Pharoah paid $3.50, $2.80 and $2.50.

“I feel so good,” Espinoza said, “I say, ‘I hope American Pharoah feels like me.’”

Frosted returned $3.50 and $2.90, while Keen Ice was another two lengths back in third and paid $4.60 to show.

Mubtaahij was fourth, followed by Frammento, Madefromlucky, Tale of Verve and Materiality.

American Pharoah delivered a victory for Egyptian-born owner Ahmed Zayat, who bred the colt and put him up for sale before buying him back for $300,000. His name came courtesy of the family’s online contest, in which a woman from Missouri submitted the winning moniker, but the misspelling wasn’t noticed until the name was already official.

“I can’t believe it happened,” said Justin Zayat, racing manager for his father’s stable. “It’s amazing. Oh my God.” American Pharoah joined the exclusive club of Triple Crown winners Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941), Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed.

“I’m thrilled,” said 93-yearold Penny Chenery, who owned Secretariat and watched from the stands.

A sign with American Pharoah’s name and silks was quickly put up in the infield next to the 11 other Triple Crown winners.

CUBS 4, NATIONALS 2

Hammel stays undefeated against Nationals as Cubs win

By HARVEY VALENTINE The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Cubs manager Joe Maddon was in campaign mode after Jason Hammel’s latest stellar effort against the Washington Nationals.

Hammel continued his mastery of Washington, Dexter Fowler had two hits and scored twice, and the Cubs beat the Nationals, 4-2, on Saturday.

The right hander improved his overall record to 5-2 and lowered his ERA to 2.76 after allowing two runs in eight-plus

innings.

“You talk about pitching at an All-Star level, he has. He’s been unbelievably good,” Maddon said. “I really think he has to be considered based on his performances.”

Hammel, who said he’s not thinking about the All-Star Game, improved to 9-0 with a 3.01 ERA in 11 starts against the Nationals.

“If I told you, I’d have to kill you,” Hammel joked when asked why he excels versus Washington.

Standing in front of his locker with something red in

his hair and a white splotch near his right ear, the leftovers from a celebratory concoction dumped on him by his teammates, he added: “I have no idea. Some places you just do better than others. I do love pitching in this stadium.”

Hammel allowed five hits, striking out seven and walking two. He departed after Bryce Harper hit his 19th homer of the season to open the ninth.

After Hector Rondon walked Anthony Rendon, Pedro Strop came on and recorded his second save.

Wilson Ramos also homered

for the Nationals.

With starting pitchers Stephen Strasburg and Doug Fister on the disabled list, the Nationals called on 22-year-old prospect Joe Ross (0-1) to make his Major League debut. Ross, who was 2-2 with a 2.81 ERA at Double-A Harrisburg, retired the first nine Cubs, but allowed a run in the fourth and two in the fifth.

“It was better than I expected, the first three innings,” Ross said. “The second time through the lineup, they kind of picked up, I guess, what I was doing, what I was throw-

ing. Put some better barrels on the ball.”

He allowed three runs on six hits over five innings and struck out four without a walk.

Ross threw 91 pitches as his older brother, pitcher Tyson Ross of the Padres, watched from the stands.

“All in all, I think he threw the ball well,” manager Matt Williams said. “He was unfazed by the magnitude of it.”

A first-round pick by the Padres in 2011, Joe Ross was acquired from San Diego last winter as part of a three-team trade involving Tampa Bay.

STANLEY CUP FINAL – GAME 2: LIGHTNING 4, BLACKHAWKS 3 (SERIES EVEN AT 1)

By GREG BEACHAM The Associated Press

AP photo

Blackhawks goalie Corey Crawford watches as a puck hit by Tampa Bay Lightning defenseman Jason Garrison’s flies past for a goal during the third period Saturday in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final in Tampa Fla. victory.

The Lightning didn’t say why Bishop left the game, came back and left again. He complained of interference on Brent Seabrook’s tying goal early in the third period, but played on.

Andrew Shaw and Teuvo Teravainen scored 2:16 apart early in the second period for the Hawks, who couldn’t follow up their Game 1 comeback with another.

Just over five minutes after Seabrook scored, Garrison put the Lightning ahead when his shot apparently deflected off a

Hawks player in front of Corey Crawford, who stopped 20 shots in an uninspiring effort. The goal was just Garrison’s second of the postseason.

With his jarring No. 88 jersey and 45 previous minutes of NHL playoff experience, Vasilevskiy handled his surprise assignment splendidly. He made an outstanding pad save with less than five minutes to play as Tampa Bay killed a penalty, and he stayed strong wrapped up the victory.

The Lightning again showed off the resilience that got them to this lofty height, improving

to 4-0 in Game 2 of their four postseason series after going 1-3 in Game 1. Tampa Bay has lost two straight games only once in the entire playoffs.

The Stanley Cup Final’s first two games were split for just the second time since 2004.

The Lightning blamed their 2-1 loss in the opener on too much caution in the third period, when the Hawks scored two late goals to win. Neither team showed any particular caution from the start of Game 2, skating aggressively and working hard for offensive chances.

Paquette put a long shot

TIGERS 7, WHITE SOX 1

Tigers end 8-game losing streak, beat Sox behind Price

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – David Price struck out 11 in a five-hitter, Miguel Cabrera homered, and the Detroit Tigers ended an eight-game losing streak, beating the White Sox, 7-1, Saturday night.

The four-time AL Central champion Tigers stopped their worst skid since 2005 and avoided falling below .500 for

the first time this year.

Detroit finished with 18 hits after averaging 2.75 runs per game during their slide.

Cabrera hit a two-run homer, his 12th.

Price (5-2) struck out seven straight batters in the middle innings. He walked two in his 13th career complete game.

Price worked with extra rest after throwing a season-high 121 pitches in 72⁄3 innings Sunday against the Angels.

John Danks (3-5) gave up five runs and 11 hits in 42⁄3 innings.

The Tigers scored five times on seven hits in the fifth. Cabrera’s homer ended a string of 13 consecutive scoreless innings for Danks.

James McCann followed with an RBI double, and Josh Wilson and Jose Iglesias added RBI singles. That trio, the last three batters in the Detroit lineup, combined for 10 hits.

Iglesias and J.D. Martinez added RBI doubles.

Alexei Ramirez doubled in the third for the lone Sox run.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Tigers: RHP Justin Verlander (triceps strain) struck out nine and allowed a run and four hits in 52⁄3 innings in likely his final rehab assignment at Triple-A Toledo on Saturday. He is expected to rejoin the team next week. The date of his next

start has yet to be announced. ... RHP Bruce Rondon (biceps tendinitis) allowed four runs in an inning in possibly his final rehab appearance with Toledo on Saturday. ... DH Victor Martinez (left knee inflammation) has been working out at extended spring training and is expected to rejoin the team Tuesday to be evaluated.

Sox: OF Melky Cabrera had the day off. He is hitting .197 in his last 27 games.

TAMPA, Fla. – Two goalies taking turns in the crease in the third period. A low-scoring defenseman getting the biggest goal of all.

The Tampa Bay Lightning found some strange ways to even the Stanley Cup Final.

Jason Garrison scored the tiebreaking power-play goal with 11:11 to play, rookie goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy relieved Ben Bishop twice to earn the victory, and the Lightning beat the Blackhawks, 4-3, in Game 2 on Saturday night to even the series at 1.

Nikita Kucherov had a goal and an assist for the Lightning, who played with all the aggression they lacked in the third period of Game 1 when the Hawks rallied late to win.

Tyler Johnson and Cedric Paquette also scored for Tampa Bay, which curiously made three goalie changes in the third period. The 20-yearold Vasilevskiy twice replaced starter Ben Bishop and made five saves in 9:13 to earn his first NHL playoff win.

Game 3 is Monday night in the United Center.

Vasilevskiy has 16 regular-season games of NHL experience, and he had played in just two games since March 31. But the Russian came in for 92 seconds before Garrison scored the go-ahead goal, and he returned to finish the game with 7:41 to play, earning the

through heavy traffic late in the first period for his first goal since April 27, ending a 13game drought.

Shaw made his biggest impact on Game 1 when he apparently bit Lightning defenseman Victor Hedman, but the aggressive forward affected Game 2 early in the second by getting in front of Bishop and outfighting Garrison for a loose puck.

During a power play moments later, Teravainen executed a give-and-go with Marian Hossa for his third goal in two games. The 20-year-old Teravainen scored the tying goal and assisted on Antoine Vermette’s winner 1:58 apart in the Hawks’ Game 1 victory.

The Lightning swiftly tied it up on a back-to-the-net, between-his-own-legs deflection

by Kucherov, the gifted Russian who scored 29 goals in the regular season.

Johnson then ended his fivegame goal drought with his NHL-leading 13th goal of the postseason. Crawford probably should have saved the backhand by Johnson, but it slid across his sweater and dropped in for Johnson’s first goal since Game 3 of the Eastern Conference final.

Seabrook evened it with 16:22 left in the third, teeing up a hard shot with no opposition after the Tampa Bay defense got distracted by captain Jonathan Toews. Bishop claimed Hossa interfered with him on top of his crease, but the goal stood.

The surviving members of the Decamicus, a 30-year-old Investment Club, order lunch May 27 in Naperville.

Member Ann Bates said the club disbanded after nearly three decades because of dwindling membership.

Final roll call Members of Decamicus at the time of liquidation: Q Ann Bates, founder – retired teacher/administrator, Troy Community Consolidated School District 30-C Q Margaret Cockbill, original member – retired teacher, Joliet Junior College Q JoAnn Drake, original member – retired teacher, Milne-Kelvin Grove District 91 in Lockport Q Rita Sova, original member – retired nurse and nurse educator, Joliet Junior College Q Josephine Connor, joined 1995 – retired teacher, Joliet Public Schools District 86 Q Patricia Sterr, joined 1995 – retired teacher, Joliet Junior College - came into group 1995 Q Arlene Plese, joined 2000 – retired teacher, Joliet Public Schools District 86 Former original members included Lou Ruettiger, retired nurse; Marlys Prior, retired from Social Security Administration; Lois Draznik (deceased), retired teacher, Troy District 30-C; and Joan Ramuta, retired teacher, University of St. Francis in Joliet. new companies: Apple, Microsoft and Amazon. Members held an annual business meeting each May. “We weren’t looking to make a gazillion dollars,” Bates said. “We were looking for a nice profit and many of our stocks made nice profits.”

Decamicus also suffered periodic downfalls, such as when the stock market crashed in 2008, Bates said. But Decamicus stood its ground and – occasionally – cashed in. The club mantra, Bates added, was, “We’re earning while we’re learning.”

“One lady in our group was a nurse that took care of a man who was an investor and he taught her how to do trading,” Bates said. “She always had the ‘golden touch’ as far as in-

vesting went.”

Arlene Plese of Joliet, who joined in 2000 and was Decamicus’ president when the club liquidated, said she was eager to learn. Plese said her husband would tease her that she didn’t understand the stock market, although she had majored in economics.

Plese said reporting on a different stock at the monthly meetings increased her knowledge. Over time, the women had certain favorites. For Plese, it was Procter & Gamble because of the sheer amount of products the company produced.

Despite Plese’s current preference for mutual funds, she has mixed emotions about the club’s disbanding, similar to how one feels when retiring from working, she said.

“We won’t be having monthly meetings, but we do intend to stay in touch,” Plese said, “maybe have some lunches now and then.”

Margaret Cockbill of Joliet said she had investment experience when she joined Decamicus in 1981 and joined because she thought she would gain both knowledge and experience, which Cockbill said she did.

She advised beginners to learn as much as possible and to – perhaps – take an investment course at a community college.

Cockbill is still investing.

“Since I’m 91, I’m not investing anymore in things that are not pretty sure,” Cockbill said. “I used to take a lot of chances in the stock market, but it’s still a gamble.”

JOLIET – Joliet Central High School Principal John Randich and JTHS Bus Driver Georgene Jaback were honored for their John Randich support of education during the Illinois Chapter of the National School Public Relations Association’s annual Distinguished Georgene Service Awards Jabac luncheon May 8 at Bolingbrook Golf Club.

At the event, Randich received an Award of Excellence and Georgene Jaback received an award of Merit.

Randich has more than 39 years of educational experience and 34 of these have been dedicated to Joliet Township High School.

He has facilitated numer-

ous presentations and events at sender schools and community organizations such as the NAACP, neighborhood associations and the Joliet Region Interfaith Education Council.

He worked with students and staff as JTHS became one of the first high schools in the nation to collaborate in a book study with author Sean Covey regarding character education for teens.

In 1998, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective Teens” was released, which included personal stories from students and staff at JTHS. Randich led an innovative educational reform that resulted in JTHS becoming the first public school district in Illinois to add community service as a graduation requirement.

His dedication serves as an inspiration to staff and was instrumental in making JTHS a Chicago Tribune Top Workplace for the past three consecutive years.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Near the end, play for an endplay

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Nora Ephron, an author and a screenwriter who died in 2012, said, “I always read the last page of a book first so that if I die before I finish, I’ll know how it turned out.”

That is depressing, but at the bridge table, it is excellent if, from trick one, you can envision how the deal will end up in your favor. This week, we have looked at a slightly more advanced topic: elimination and endplay. In our final example, how should South play in six hearts after West leads the spade queen to dummy’s king?

North’s sequence was a tad unscientific, especially as it was not certain that South had a high diamond. But it kept the defenders in the dark.

South has two possible losers, one in each minor. And someone who does not know about endplays would try first the diamond finesse, then, when it lost, hope to find the club queen. However, the contract is a certainty.

Declarer draws the missing trumps, cashes dummy’s spade ace, leads the diamond queen (to tempt East to cover with the king if he has it), wins with his ace, ruffs his last spade, and casts adrift with dummy’s diamond 10.

Note that declarer has drawn trumps, but has at least one left in each hand to benefit from a ruff-andsluff, he has eliminated two side suits, and has lost the lead.

Whichever defender wins with the diamond king is endplayed. He must either lead a club, which finds the queen for South, or play a spade or diamond, which concedes a ruff-andsluff. Declarer ruffs in one hand and sluffs a club from the other.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff a day.

• Try mineral oil. Mix 1

tablespoon of mineral oil with applesauce or yogurt and eat it at breakfast or lunch. This allows the stool to slide by more easily.

• When you have to go,

go. Don’t delay bowel

movements. Putting them off can worsen constipation, which then aggravates the hemorrhoids.

Also, as you sit on the toilet, elevate your feet a bit with a step-stool. Doing so changes the position of the rectum in a way that could allow stools to pass more easily. • Soak in sitz. Sitz baths are warm, shallow baths done in a basin that fits under the toilet seat. Take sitz baths three or four times a day, for 15-20 minutes each. The water will keep the area clean, and the warmth will reduce inflammation and discomfort. Dry the area thoroughly after each bath. • Soothe yourself. Apply a cold compress or icepack to the anal area. Or try a cool cotton pad soaked in witch hazel. Many overthe-counter hemorrhoid products, like the iconic brand Preparation H soothing cream, are available. You can ask your doctor about prescription preparations, which contain stronger anti-inflammatory drugs and numbing medications.

If, despite all of these measures, your hemorrhoids start to bleed, continue to bleed or hurt more, or begin to interfere with bowel movements, talk to your doctor. He or she can tell you about procedures to remove or reduce hemorrhoids.

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

Dear Dr. K: What can I do to ease the discomfort of hemorrhoids?

Dear Reader: Hemorrhoids are quite common, and they’re not a serious medical problem. But, figuratively and literally, they’re a real pain in the butt.

Hemorrhoids develop when veins in the anus and rectum swell and widen. (I’ve put an illustration on my website, www. askdoctork.com.) They can be extremely painful and uncomfortable, causing bleeding and painful bowel movements. There are surgical treatments that can help when you have recurrent, painful flare-ups. However, most of the time, simple selfhelp measures can ease the discomfort and allow healing.

Hemorrhoids often are linked to constipation.

When a person is constipated, stool piles up in the rectum and hardens.

This can press on the veins that are returning blood from the rectum to the rest of the body. As a result, blood builds up in the veins, causing them to stretch. So the treatments for hemorrhoids often are treatments for constipation, as well.

I spoke to my colleague Dr. Jacqueline Wolf, a gastroenterologist and associate professor of medicine at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. She suggested some effective steps to help relieve a hemorrhoid flare-up: • Step up the Fiber. Fiber draws water into stools, making them softer and easier to pass. Increasing fiber also reduces bleeding. Increase high-fiber foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains) in your diet. Consider a psyllium husk fiber supplement, such as Metamucil. If psyllium causes gas or bloating, try a supplement containing wheat dextrin or methyl-cellulose. Aim to get 25 grams (women) to 38 grams (men) of fiber

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips took a trip with him to visit his uncle and met one of Alex’s cousins.

I was helping my motherin-law in the kitchen when Alex called me to come and look at something on his computer. I responded, “Sir?” His cousin immediately started poking fun at it, and the rest of his family joined in.

To me, “Sir” is a gesture of respect to my husband. His family seemed to interpret it to mean I think I’m less than an equal in our relationship.

This is definitely not the case. Alex and I both make sure to show respect and appreciation to each other in little ways throughout the day.

This isn’t the first instance in which someone heard me address my husband as “Sir” and criticized my decision to use the word.

Frankly, I have no intention to change the way I interact with my husband. What I’d like to know is, how do I nicely shut the conversation down when people give their unwelcome opinion? – An-

noyed In Round Rock, Texas Dear Annoyed: It’s possible

these relatives did not grow up with the same formalities you are used to. If that’s the case, smile and say, “I consider calling my husband ‘Sir’ a sign of respect. That’s how I was raised. Don’t you think he deserves it?” However, if the teasing doesn’t stop, add, “I’m neither downtrodden nor subservient – and what I call him is really not your business.”

Pearls Before Swine

Dear Abby: I am a divorced mother with an 11-year-old daughter. My boyfriend, “John,” and I have been together for two years and we’re serious. He is divorced, with a 13-year-old daughter.

We have tried to be sensitive and understanding about their feelings about our recent divorces and our relationship, but both girls are having a difficult time coping with it. We are very loving and inclusive, so it’s not as if they should feel resentful or left out. But this is starting to cause a rift in our relationship.

There comes a point when they need to understand this is the new norm and get used to it. We try to include each other’s daughter in shared events, but it ends up becoming a forced struggle. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. – The New Norm Dear New Norm: Welcome to the world of blended families. As much as we would wish it, the adjustment isn’t always smooth, because when children are involved, their world is often torn apart.

A resource that can be helpful would be the Stepfamily Foundation Inc. (stepfamily.org). Your former spouses can ease the girls’ adjustment by remaining actively involved in their lives, curbing their hostility and not pitting the children against either of you.

However, if that’s not in the cards, enlist the help of a licensed family therapist.

Blended family counseling, divorce and remarriage counseling may be necessary to ease the girls’ transition into “the new norm,” which is anything but normal for them.

Dear Abby: My husband, “Alex,” and I are a young couple and have been married for four years. I recently

Once you address bothersome issues, you can move forward with your plans free of regret.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Money matters will weigh heavy on your mind. Ask for advice before signing up for a loan or high-interest money deal. Don’t be pressured into making a commitment you can’t afford.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Revealing your true feelings will ensure that pairings and partnerships will blossom. Use caution when traveling.
