By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Romeoville man was sentenced Wednesday to 11 years in prison for a fatal stabbing outside a grocery store last year.

Judge Robert Livas offered little comment on his sentence to Fabian Almodovar, 23, or the family members of Carlos Orozco other than saying he’d considered statements and letters from both sides.

Almodovar appeared bored as he sat in the jury box before proceedings began. His shackles jangled as he continually bounced

his legs, he grinned at the bailiff who told him to stop signaling a friend sitting in the audience and he asked a deputy why he couldn’t put his head down when other cases took long e r t h a n e x - Fabian pected.

Almodovar On May 16, 2013, Almodovar allegedly sold marijuana to Orozco’s friends earlier and asked for a ride to the Jewel on Weber Road in Romeoville.

Orozco, 17, and Almodovar had not met previously,

but rode together in the back seat. The two men began “arguing who was tougher” and fought until being told to knock it off, according to reports.

When they arrived at the grocery store, they resumed punching each other and Almodovar was badly beaten, suffering a concussion.

When Orozco tried to keep Almodovar from going inside, Almodovar stabbed him with a knife. Orozco fell to the ground, while Almodovar went inside to a bathroom and collapsed.

Almodovar was charged with first-degree murder, but agreed in April to plead

Greuling says turmoil at IDOT should not slow down Illiana

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Ann Schneider’s recent resignation as head of the Illinois Department of Transportation likely won’t hinder progress on the Illiana Expressway, John Greuling, president and CEO for Will County Center for Economic Development said Wednesday.

Schneider stepped down from her role at the state’s transportation agency earlier this month amid growing concerns about political hiring at the agency. Her stepdaughter was put on the payroll at IDOT and later promoted to a higher-paying patronage-protected job within the department, according to an investigation by the Better Government Association.

Greuling said he believes the issues at IDOT won’t have a long-lasting negative impact on the 47-mile tollway project linking Interstate 55 in Wilmington with I-65 near Lowell, Indiana “Ann Schneider is one person. The entire [Gov. Pat Quinn] administration has always been supportive of

Residents invited to meeting in Wilmington WILMINGTON – Residents with questions concerning the Illiana Expressway are invited to attend a meeting next week.

The informational meeting – spearheaded by Will County Board Member Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington – is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Wilmington City Hall, 1165 S. Water St. The proposed route would connect Interstate 55 in Wilmington to Interstate 65 near Lowell, Indiana. The latest proposed route would force 43 residents, 29 farmsteads and five businesses to relocate, and affects about 3,100 acres of farmland, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation’s latest environmental impact study.

Supporters of the project say the tollway will alleviate congested traffic on I-80 and along area roads clogged by trucks from the growing number of intermodal freight terminals in Will County. State lawmakers are expected to attend.

– The Herald-News Will County and of the Illiana Expressway,” Greuling said.

“Will her resignation negatively impact the project?

Maybe a little at first, but I think, overall, no.”

The $1.3 billion project appeared to be on the fast track to construction earlier this year, but has now been delayed amid concerns from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service about the project’s potential impact on endangered species.

“That’s the agency that has sort of thrown the roadblock out here,” Greuling said.

Still, he said, the federal review of the project is simply “due diligence” on the state’s part and that he expects the project to move forward.

“This is why the national environmental protection was passed,” Greuling said.

“It’s for this kind of due diligence on these projects so that IDOT or engineering firms can’t just sweep this stuff under the rug. There’s a very transparent review process.”

Pending federal approval, construction on the Illiana could start in late summer or fall of 2015.

guilty to second-degree murder. He faced between 4 to 20 years in prison and has spent over a year in jail.

“It could be worse. With good behavior, he’ll only have to serve half of [11 years],” Lucille Serrano, who has a 5-month-old daughter with Almodovar, told supporters outside the courtroom.

Defense attorney Chuck Bretz told Livas he will file a motion in the next two weeks asking to reconsider the severity of the sentence.

Carlos Orozco’s sister Carla declined to comment after the sentence was issued.

Crest Hill library hosts Animals for Awareness as part of summer program

By VIKAAS SHANKER

“I learned about the habitats of the different animals. And how animals act.”

vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – “Good morning,” said Baby the parrot, loud and proud to the more than 100 kids and parents at the Crest Hill White Oak Library on Wednesday.

It was 6:30 p.m., but the kids didn’t care as they replied back to her with giggles and loud hellos.

Animals for Awareness volunteer Lauren Grimm sang a short tune with Baby before putting her back into her enclosure. She told the crowd that Baby is a double yellow-headed Amazon parrot, an endangered species that is being threatened by the illegal pet trade.

“They’re taking away the baby birds from their mommies and daddies,” Grimm said to the kids, explaining how birds like Baby are coveted as pets.

Baby was part of a lineup of animals from Palos Hillsbased Animals for Awareness exotic animal sanctuary that Grimm showed kids during an hour-long program at the Crest Hill Library Wednesday evening. She explained how each animal is a good or bad pet and showed the animals around the room.

Other animals included a sulcata tortoise, albino Burmese python, kinkajou, fennec fox, domesticated skunk, bearded dragon and Richardson ground squirrel The show coincides with the White Oak Library District’s animal-oriented summer reading program.

“It ties in well with the program,” Crest Hill branch Children’s Librarian Ellen Norton said. “The Romeoville branch had a Zoo to You animal show and two weeks ago the Lockport branch had [Dave DiNaso’s] Traveling World of Reptiles.”

BELOW: Children pet Tandy, a fennec fox, during an Animals Awareness program Wednesday at the Crest Hill branch of the White Oak Public Library District.

Norton said the events like this are valuable for the library and patrons.

“It really gives the children the opportunity to see things they never get to,” Norton said.

Grimm showed each animal and explained why it could or couldn’t be a good pet based on the life expectancy, temperament and state laws and regulations.

Baby, for example, is 21 years old. But she could live from 50 to 100 years old.

“A lot of exotic pets live very long, so it’s a big commitment,” Grimm said.

“People need to be conscientious about those pets.”

As long as they have been domesticated, skunks make excellent pets. Kinkajous can be very temperamental, making them unpredictable.

Richardson ground squirrels can be enjoyable, as long as

they don’t get into a garden.

And Illinois law prohibits people from having snakes longer than six feet in length as pets.

Animals for Awareness is a nonprofit sanctuary for wild and exotic animals funded by doing educational programs. Grimm said there are somewhere between 70 to

100 animals in the sanctuary.

Director Kim Schilling said the organization strives to not only take in exotic pets turned down by other shelters, but to educate the public on keeping pets, especially children.

“Adults are sometimes just set in their ways,” Schilling said. “But kids, we can teach

them even though you might see an animal that is legal to keep, you may not want to.”

Cousins Miranda Espinoza, 11, Milca Jimenez, 10, and Vielka Munoz, 10, went to see the show together and thought meeting the animals was the best part.

But they also discovered more about where the exotic creatures come from and whether they would make good pets.

“I learned about the habitats of the different animals,” Espinoza said. “And how animals act.”

“That’s important information to know for everyone,” Jimenez said. “ I met the animals and enjoyed it.”

Crest Hill resident Jana House brought her two daughters, 7-year-old Abby and 4-year-old Leah to the show.

“I just wanted to educate them about animals,” House said. “We have pets ourselves: a dog, cat and two fish.”

House learned a lot about exotic animals as pets, but she wasn’t keen on getting one anytime soon.

Lockport resident Sandy Melovic was glad Animals for Awareness and the library put on the show.

“I’m proud of them for putting something like this on for the kids and it was free,” she said. “You have to pay for everything these days.

And the kids got to see things they’ve never seen or touched up close.”

Should Illinois boost its minimum wage?

Low-wage workers would like a raise

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com If it were up to 40-year-old Joseph Ezell, the state would raise its minimum wage to $10 an hour – a wage high enough for him to support his wife and four children.

“I’m a perfect example.

My job don’t pay enough,” said Ezell, who works as a part-time line cook at a Joliet restaurant, earning 25 cents above the state’s current $8.25 minimum wage. “It’s terrible.”

Illinois voters such as Ezell will get a chance to voice their opinion on raising the minimum wage under a ballot measure signed by Gov. Pat Quinn last month. The Nov. 4 non-binding ballot question will ask whether Illinois should hike its minimum wage – currently the fourth highest in the U.S. – for people older than 18 to $10 by 2015.

Several business leaders have argued the hike would kill jobs and make Illinois less competitive with neighboring states, while supporters say raising the wage would help boost the economy and set a “livable wage” for working people.

John Greuling, president and CEO for the Will County Center for Economic Development, said he believes raising the minimum wage would be a bad move. It would cause a ripple effect, he said, leading businesses to “pass along whatever cost they can,” which would, in turn, lead to higher-priced products and services.

Businesses would be hardpressed by employees already making more than minimum wage to increase their salaries, too, he said, while un-

By the numbers Illinois’ $8.25 minimum wage rate ranks fourth-highest in the nation and is $1 over the federal rate of $7.25.

Washington, D.C., and 41 states have baseline wages higher than or equal to the federal level, while four states have baseline wages below $7.25. Five states do not have an established baseline wage.

der-skilled, unemployed people would find it more difficult to find work. It would force employers to lay off workers or hire fewer people, he said.

“Those are the folks that will be hurt the most,” Greuling said. “I’ve talked to a number of retailers that are looking at how they can continue to shed workers at the entry level because of the concern over [Illinois and other states] discussing an increase in minimum wage.”

Renee Cunningham, 41, of Joliet argued the current minimum isn’t keeping up with inflation.

“Gas is going up. Food is going up. Rent is going up. Everything is going up, so wages should go up,” she said. “You want people off public aid assistance? You want people to get out there and work? It would help if you paid us a little more so we could afford things on our own.”

Cunningham said she lives with her mother, has three children and is looking for steady employment. Even when she worked full time, she said it wasn’t enough to support her family.

“There are days I drop my head down to the floor thinking, ‘When am I going to come out of this hole?’ ” she said.

“It’s hard. It’s rough.”

A recent study by the Center for Economic and Policy Research attempts to debunk business groups’ claims that a wage boost would harm the economy and kills jobs. According to the study, the 13 states that raised their baseline wages at the start of the year showed stronger economic growth than the 37 states that didn’t.

But Greuling said the study doesn’t account for other factors.

“What else is going on in that economy? I think you can’t just say if you raise minimum wage, it’ll be good for business or it’s going to be bad for business. It’s not that simple,” Greuling said.

In Chicago, a task force led

by Mayor Rahm Emanuel recommended this week that the city go a step further and raise its minimum wage to $13 an hour, phasing it in over a fouryear period. Critics include Rob Karr, president of the Chicago Retail Merchants Association. Such a hike would increase a retailer’s labor costs by more than 57 percent and kill jobs, Karr said in a news release issued Tuesday.

“Chicago employers will have to cut costs, and that likely means fewer hours or no hours for the most vulnerable employees – those without the education or skills necessary to advance in the modern workplace,” Karr said in the news release.

That’s not how Christine Labuta, 55, of Joliet, sees it.

She said she believes the minimum wage should be increased for everyone.

“People are doing the best they can. It’s not enough,” Labuta said. “They’re struggling.”

Renee Cunningham, 41, of Joliet: “Gas is going up.

Food is going up. Rent is going up. Everything is going up, so wages should go up. You want people off public aid assistance? You want people to get out there and work? It would help if you paid us a little more so we afford things on our own.”

Christine Labuta, 55, of Joliet: “Yes, it needs to be raised ... People are doing the best they can. It’s not enough. They’re struggling.”

John Tezak, 70, of Joliet: “There’s pros and cons, but I think it’ll keep even more people out of work. I think we should keep it the way it is now. Maybe we could raise it a little, but not to $10.”

HOMER GLEN – A new Meijer store came to Homer Glen bigger than expected, which village officials take as a good sign of the company’s faith in the local business climate.

Meijer is opening stores July 29 in both Homer Glen and Mokena.

The Mokena store is at U.S. 30 and Wolf Road, while the Homer Glen store is at 14169 Bell Road.

On July 29, Home Glen officials and some members of the Meijer family will be at a ribbon-cutting ceremony at that store, Homer Glen Economic Development Director Janie Patch said.

Meijer coming to the village is important for Homer Glen because of the sales tax revenue the store will produce, Mayor Jim Daley said. Homer Glen is one of the few communities in the state that does not receive municipal property taxes, he said.

“To have a big sales tax generator come into this town – it’s a real accomplishment,” Daley said.

Meijer is a Michigan-based company that runs more than 200 supercenters and grocery stores in five states. The company also operates convenience stores with gas stations. One such store opened June 26 at the Meijer site.

The Meijer store in Homer Glen was originally envisioned to be 158,000 square feet but is now about 192,000 square feet, Patch said.

“I think that sends a great message out there about the strength of the Homer Glen market and what Meijer is feeling is possible in Homer Glen,” she said. “We’re very excited about the store opening.”

A store like Meijer will strengthen the village’s appeal for other retailers and businesses, Patch said.

In March, Meijer announced it intends to hire 540 employees for the stores in Homer Glen and Mokena.

“That’s more people coming into town or ones living in town that want local jobs,” Patch said.

“It’s giving them that opportunity.”

Psychologist report barred in Nichols’ case

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A judge has barred the report of a psychologist who claims a Crest Hill man was suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder when he killed his wife.

Will County Judge Robert Livas said Wednesday he has read the 53-page report that psychologist Orest Wasyliw produced on Jerry Nichols four times.

“The easiest way to describe this report is ‘circular.’ It constantly goes back over the same ground and it’s redundant,” Livas said.

Livas agreed with Assistant State’s Attorney John Connor that Wasyliw’s conclusions are “speculative.”

“It doesn’t say the PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] is the reason he didn’t understand the criminality of his actions or diminish his capacity or [render him] insane,”

Livas said.

On Jan. 26, 2013, Nichols, 63, struck his wife, Diane, 57, with a car in the garage of their Jerry Nichols h o m e i n t h e 16000 block of Arborvitae Circle. Jerry Nichols called for an ambulance and paramedics arrived to allegedly see Nichols stomping on his wife’s head.

Defense attorney Michael

Ettinger said the stress from the car accident triggered PTSD, which led to the Vietnam veteran stomping on his wife’s head. During Nichols’ court appearance last month, Ettinger said his client does not remember the incident.

“The one page tendered to me [at that time] seemed to indicate the defendant didn’t recall the events, but now that I’ve had the time to read the full report, it seems he does,” Livas noted.

Livas said the defense will be allowed to submit additional reports explaining Wasyliw’s conclusions, but they also will be scrutinized before being admitted as evidence.

Crest Hill police had no previous contact with either Jerry or Diane Nichols, who had been married for 12 years. Diane’s death occurred two months after Jerry Nichols retired from the LaGrange water and public works departments, where he worked for 37 years.

Woman on Joliet porch hit by bullet JOLIET – Two people were shot at Tuesday night while sitting on the same porch where a man was killed in June.

The shooting occurred in the 100 block of South Joliet Street.

A 21-year-old woman was hurt when a bullet apparently ricocheted across her knee, according to Police Chief Brian Benton. She declined medical treatment.

About 10 p.m. she and a man were sitting on the back porch when a man came out of the nearby alley, pointed a handgun at them and fired three times, Benton said.

The suspect was described as a black man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt, red shirt and black pants.

On June 4, Markus C. Tanzy, 25, was sitting on the same porch when he was fatally shot by an unknown assailant. Lt. Brian Dupuis said Wednesday that Tanzy’s death remains under investigation.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – City officials said repealing mandatory fire sprinkler systems in new residential housing will help make the city economically competitive again.

However, Lockport Township Fire District officials said the repeal was a mistake.

The fire district serves Crest Hill.

In December 2009, the Crest Hill City Council passed Ordinance 1513, which mandated a fire suppression system, or automatic fire sprinklers, be installed in any new residential construction.

On Monday, the city council repealed that ordinance, eliminating the requirement to install fire sprinkler systems and reverting the city’s fire codes back to the 2000 International Fire Code.

Mayor Ray Soliman said he changed his stance on the fire sprinkler mandate and decided to bring the repeal up for a council vote.

“I’ve had a change of heart over the years due to the economic times we live in now,” Soliman said, adding that his goal was to do everything he can for residential and commercial development.

“The fire suppression ordinance has hindered us more than helped us to bring future growth during tough economic times,” he said.

Soliman said that while the ordinance was important for the safety it provided residents, it slowed down growth in the city over the past five years.

Soliman mentioned recent attempts by the City of Chicago and Will County to enact similar fire sprinkler ordinances, but those did not pass.

“At the end of the day, it comes down to pennies,” Soliman said. “Developers were coming before us. They had an opportunity to save $2.50 to $4 per square foot based on residential development elsewhere.”

Lockport Township Fire District Chief David Skoryi advocated against repealing the ordinance.

“We think it’s a mistake,” Skoryi said. “Statistically, more people die in their homes from a fire than anywhere else – shopping centers, McDonald’s. People are dying in the house.”

Skoryi said 76 towns or fire districts in Illinois require residential fire sprinkler systems.

PLAINFIELD

Gastropub moving into downtown Village Board narrowly approved liquor license

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Owners are setting up a gastropub downtown after the Plainfield Village Board approved its liquor license this week.

Rafael Gomez and his girlfriend, Jessica Watson, are making improvements to the old Bin48 building at 24205 W. Lockport St. for their new gastropub named Sovereign.

According to Gomez, the gastropub is a craft beer restaurant that also serves food and focuses on local ingredients.

“We’re lifetime restaurant people that fell in love with craft beer,” Gomez said.

Gomez said the gastropub will have a heavy local slant, carrying beers from the Chicago area including from Revolution Brewing, Half Acre Beer Company and Two Brothers Brewing Company among others.

“We want to be a vehicle for local purveyors,” he said. “We want to promote and support local farmers, distillers and

breweries.”

Gomez said he and Watson will apply for their business license this week, but they were already painting and moving equipment into the building.

Helping them is former Plainfield bar owner Dale Lewis who is acting in a consulting role, Gomez said. Lewis, who once operated O’Sullivan’s Irish Pub out of the same building, is also helping the owners with the renovation.

Village vote The Village Board needed a vote from Mayor Michael Collins to pass the liquor license Monday.

The board voted, 3-2, in favor of the license, with Trustee Garrett Peck voting to abstain.

But Collins voted in favor of it to break the virtual tie.

Peck abstained, because he felt it would be a conflict of interest to vote as a member of the Plainfield Township Republican Organization. Peck said Hopscotch and Vine, which he considered a direct competitor of Sovereign, had donated an in-kind gift of food to a recent

Trustee Margie Bonuchi said even as vice president of the Republican organization, she had no problem voting for it because her vote was based on the village’s interests, not the organization’s.

Bonuchi and Trustee Dan Rippy voted against the license because they were unsure

about who the real owners were at the time.

“I wasn’t confident that they are the only owners,” Bonuchi said, adding that she heard rumors of another owner and wanted to make sure before she voted for the license. “There have been issues in the past about people that had a liquor license. I wasn’t able to know

for sure and do my due diligence.”

“I chose to be cautious,” Rippy said. “Businesses don’t need to come before the board. So we have no say whatsoever unless there is a liquor license.”

Gomez said he hopes to open Sovereign to the public before the Midwest Brewers Fest kicks off Aug. 23.

Checkers and Popeye’s adding restaurants in Joliet

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A second wave of new restaurants is coming to town.

A new Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen, as well as a Checkers hamburger restaurant, will be coming to the East Side, along with a second Checkers on the West Side.

Popeye’s will open at 351 E. Cass St., just west of Collins Street, in a building had been a Popeye’s restaurant previously, Mayor Tom Giarrante said.

Checkers will open on Collins Street just north of Cass Street.

The West Side Checkers will be built as an addition to the

Mobil gas station outside of the Kmart at Jefferson Street and Larkin Avenue.

Checkers offers hamburgers, hot dogs, fish sandwiches, wings and seasoned and loaded fries. Popeye’s has Cajun-style fried chicken, fish and red beans and rice, among other offerings.

Giarrante said the success of other restaurants in Joliet has generated interest among developers and restaurateurs.

“The secret is that those who come here and do well, it’s opened others’ eyes,” Giarrante said. “Take a ride out by the mall. They’re all doing well.

It’s the same thing with local restaurants. Their parking lots are all full.”

Other restaurants The new restaurants come in the wake of the announcement of a Potbelly Sandwich Shop, Mooyah burger restaurant and Chipotle Mexican Grill coming to a new shopping center being built at Jefferson Street and Caterpillar Drive.

The new Checkers and Popeye’s restaurants are being developed by Aby Mohamed and Rajan Madassery through United Architects Ltd., of Joliet, and C.M. Lavoie & Associates, a Plainfield civil engineering firm.

Jim Haller, the city’s director of community and economic development, has been working with the two developers for

more than a year.

The three restaurants are expected to employ 150 fulltime workers. Joliet residents will be given preference for jobs, Giarrante said.

Downtown developments Meanwhile, progress continues on two other restaurant venues, Lockdown Bar & Grill, which plans to open a heavy metal-themed restaurant at Chicago and Cass streets, is expecting to close on its financing in September, according to Giarrante.

The venue, which is patterned after its parent restaurant in Chicago’s Ukrainian Village, could open by early next year, Giarrante said.

Also, a new restaurant may be coming into the property at 205 N. Chicago St. that formerly housed The Department Restaurant and Liquor Lounge.

The Department closed in March.

“We have a gentleman that is very close to going into the restaurant,” Giarrante said.

“He has four restaurants in Chicago and they’re all pretty high-end.”

Giarrante said downtown development is beginning to take off.

“The closer we get to opening the intermodal transportation center and the Joliet Junior College center, the more it’s going to start popping,” Giarrante said.

Grundy County Board member lived in Will County Teryl Lundeen’s resignation accepted

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Former Grundy County Board member Teryl Lundeen was a Will County resident during part of her term, but was still legally allowed to serve the Grundy taxpayers, according to state’s attorney Jason Helland who cited Illinois law.

Lundeen’s resignation from the board was officially accepted by a vote of 13-1 during Tuesday night’s Grundy County Board meeting, with member Frank Halpin voting against accepting her resignation. He did not say why.

Lundeen listed a Minooka address on public records – economic interest forms, voter registration cards and other documents. However, a real estate transfer shows that Lundeen sold the Minooka house in March.

Helland’s office conducted an investigation and found evidence that Lundeen is living in a part of Channahon located in Will County.

According to discussion Tuesday night, she did not notify board members of her move outside of the county.

The exact amount of time Lundeen has lived outside of Grundy County is unknown.

But Mike Clemmons, chairman of the Grundy County Democrats, Mike Clemmons, told the board Tuesday night he believes Lundeen has lived in Channahon since 2012, based on car titles and other information.

Lundeen was not at the County Board meeting.

According to Helland, however, official residency is not determined solely by a public official’s address.

Helland’s claim is supported by an Illinois Supreme

“And in my opinion, there is no criminal action here.”

Jason Helland State’s attorney Court case known as People vs.

Baumgartner, which involved a similar residency question and was decided in 2005.

In the Baumgartner case, an intention to return to the voting district and frequent contact with that district is enough to allow a former resident to legally claim the political residency needed to run for office.

Helland said the Baumgartner case is the only case the Grundy County State’s Attorney’s Office found regarding a conflicting residence of a public official.

“It all comes down to one word: intent,” Helland said.

“And in my opinion, there is no criminal action here.”

Grundy County Board Chairman Ron Severson said Lundeen traveled to the county “two to three times a week,” for County Board meetings alone and had every intention to return to Grundy and build a new home.

“She owns property in the county and has a site plan to build a home there, so that was her whole plan – to return,” Severson said before Tuesday’s meeting.

Lundeen stepped down from the County Board nearly four weeks ago. In her resignation letter, she did not address speculation about the residency switch. Instead, she said her resignation was prompted by “family, business and personal reasons.”

“With deep regret, I am resigning from the Grundy County Board effective immediately.

I enjoyed serving my constituents in District 2 and working with each and every one of you on the County Board,” Lundeen wrote in her official resignation letter, sent June 20.

Severson said he has signed off on all vouchers Lundeen was paid during her non-Grundy residency, because he believes the money is legally and rightfully hers.

“We paid her up until the day she resigned,” Severson said in an interview Monday afternoon. “I signed off on everything. There was no question of any vouchers.”

Helland told the board Tuesday that he will be handing his investigation over to the state appellate prosecutor’s office, which will investigate further, but said he is doubtful any charges will be brought, based on the Baumgartner case.

Regardless of the law, some board members expressed frustration at Lundeen’s choice to not be transparent about her residency.

“I don’t care what the law says,” board member Dick Joyce said. “It’s just wrong.”

Severson, with direction from the county board, retains the power to appoint a Republican replacement to Lundeen’s seat.

Lundeen, a Republican, was elected in 2012 to one of the six District 2 Grundy County Board seats and was not up for re-election until November 2016.

By law, Lundeen’s position must be included in the November general election since she completed less than half of her term. Her replacement will serve for a brief period of two or three months before facing an election. The winner of the November election will serve until the expiration of Lundeen’s term in 2016.

Long-serving Rockford judge dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS ROCKFORD – A long-serving judge whom a federal courthouse in northern Illinois is named for has died.

The clerk for the Northern

Roszkowski for years advocated for a permanent Rockford courthouse. A bill President Barack Obama signed

in 2009 named the city’s new federal courthouse after him.

The Stanley J. Roszkowski U.S. Courthouse opened in 2011.

In the clerk’s statement the district’s chief judge praises Roszkowski’s service flying

combat missions in World War II. Ruben Castillo calls Roszkowski “a true American hero.”

President Jimmy Carter nominated Roszkowski to the bench in 1977. Roszkowski

was based in Chicago and then Rockford before retiring in 1988.

He died Monday in Rockford. Wednesday’s statement doesn’t provide a cause of death.

Illinois sends schools checks on time, a rare move

CHICAGO – Illinois schools have received promised grant payments from the state on time for the first time since 2007 – but in another sign of the state’s precarious financial situation, a top education official has warned schools not to expect the pleasant surprise to become a permanent habit.

The state cited higher income and sales tax revenues and court settlement proceeds among the factors in having the funds available.

“While this is exciting news for districts, the comptroller’s office said this is the result of several unique circumstances and that districts should not expect to receive all payments on time next year,” State Superintendent of Education Christopher Koch wrote in the July 1 letter to superintendents around the state.

All-purpose state aid – money used to offset the basic cost of educating students – has been paid on time in recent years, but grants and other funding for items such as transportation, technical classes and special education have been lumped into the state’s backlog of unpaid bills, with schools often waiting months for promised funds.

Topinka: Income tax rollback means ‘$2B collapse’

QUINCY – Illinois Comptroller Judy Baar Topinka is warning of “a $2 billion collapse” next year when the state’s temporary income tax increase begins to roll back.

The Republican seeking re-election made stops in Quincy and Jacksonville on Tuesday.

Illinois Department of Natural Resources Director Marc Miller is seen Feb. 28, 2013, at the state Capitol in Springfield. The DNR has hired just four of the 53 new employees it says it needs to oversee the state’s much praised compromise on regulating hydraulic fracturing. The agency has come under increasing criticism from fracking supporters who had hoped that high-volume oil and gas drilling could begin this summer. Miller said the agency is working on filling the jobs and still will meet a Nov. 15 legal deadline to have the rules in place. He said 23 jobs are posted, and the agency should have 15 people on board by the end of July.

Lawmakers approved a temporary income tax hike in 2011.

But it’s set to decrease from 5 percent to 3.75 percent in January leaving a big budget hole.

Gov. Pat Quinn has pushed for extending the increase, but the idea has been unpopular in an election year.

Topinka likens the decrease to a “heart attack” to state finances. She said she’d rather see it phased out over two years to give lawmakers time to cut spending.

Topinka is facing a November challenge from Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, a Democrat.

New law furthers Illinois adoptees’ rights

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has signed legislation aimed at allowing adoptees and birth family

members to learn more about their family histories.

The bill will help people gain information about their biological family history including obtaining original birth records when one of their grandparents was adopted as a child. It’s sponsored by two Chicago Democrats, Rep. Sara Feigenholtz and Sen. Iris Martinez.

In a Wednesday statement, Quinn said people have the right to know the first chapter of their lives. He said the information can be vital when determining inherited traits and medical history.

Department of Children and Family Services Acting Director Bobbie Gregg notes nearly 17,000 children have been adopted in Illinois over the past decade.

The law takes effect in January 2015.

Mother of 5 shot dead on Chicago expressway

CHICAGO – A 24-year-old mother of five was shot to death while driving on the Dan Ryan Expressway on Chicago’s South Side, less than a year after her 17-year-old brother was gunned down while sitting in a car on a nearby roadway.

Jasmine Curry of Chicago was shot in the head as she was driving about 4 a.m. Wednesday by someone in another vehicle.

Two passengers in her minivan were not injured.

The Illinois State Police was interviewing witnesses and gathering surveillance video from area security cameras and said that they had a description of the other vehicle. They have said they had not determined

the motive for the shooting but hoped to learn more when they locate a male passenger in Curry’s vehicle who fled on foot after the shooting.

Some Starved Rock trails remain closed

UTICA – Illinois Conservation Police officers issued 23 citations to hikers who ventured into restricted areas at Starved Rock State Park during the holiday weekend.

Department of Natural Resources officials warn visitors that some areas of the park in LaSalle County remain closed after storms a week ago created dangerous conditions.

Hanging limbs and damaged trees could fall and cause injury.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Cleanup from storm starts in Eastern states SMITHFIELD, N.Y. – Residents of this rural central New York town on Wednesday picked through debris from homes battered by a deadly tornado, and utility crews worked to restore power in several Eastern states hit by severe storms.

In all, five people died Tuesday as strong thunderstorms blew down buildings, trees and utility lines and left hundreds of thousands without power into Wednesday.

In Manchester, Maryland, a tree fell at the River Valley Ranch summer camp, killing one child and injuring six others headed to a shelter.

Tornadoes also touched down in Ohio and Pennsylvania.

Barbara Watson, the meteorologist leading the weather service survey team in New York, said the Smithfield tornado’s winds were at least 100 mph and certainly reached undetermined higher speeds.

Woman charged in overdose death SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – A Silicon Valley success story turned sordid this week with the arrest of an upscale prostitute who allegedly left a Google executive dying on his yacht after shooting him up with a deadly hit of heroin.

Forrest Hayes, 51, was found dead by the captain of his 50-foot yacht Escape last November.

On Wednesday, Alix Tichelman,

26, of Folsom, stood handcuffed and mumbling in jail scrubs facing manslaughter charges for her role in Hayes’ death, as well as drug and prostitution charges. She is being held on $1.5 million bail.

Surveillance footage from the yacht shows everything, police said, from when she came aboard until after Hayes collapsed. That’s when Tichelman picked up her clothes, the heroin and needles, casually stepping over Hayes as he lay dying. She swallowed the last of a glass of wine, lowered a blind and walked back on the dock to shore, police said.

Clark said it appears this might not have been the first time she left someone in trouble without calling 911 or trying to help.

Without elaborating, he said his agency is cooperating with police in a different state on a similar case.

Jerry Sandusky’s son tells story to Oprah Winfrey HARRISBURG, Pa. – Jerry Sandusky’s adult son is speaking out about what he says was sexual abuse by his father.

The Oprah Winfrey Network announced Tuesday that Winfrey’s interview with Matt Sandusky will be broadcast on July 17.

Matt Sandusky settled a civil claim against Penn State. His allegations weren’t part of the criminal case that ended two years ago with a 45-count conviction for Jerry Sandusky, who is serving a lengthy prison sentence.

Obama discusses border crisis with Perry in Texas

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press DALLAS – President Barack Obama, resisting calls to visit the U.S.-Mexico border, met Wednesday with Texas Gov. Rick Perry and other officials to discuss the influx of unaccompanied minors from Central America that has become a political liability for the president and a test of his administration’s competence.

Obama and Perry, a Republican who may seek the White House in 2016, had a businesslike encounter at the steps of Air Force One before the private meeting. The president was expected to make remarks following the discussion.

The roundtable in Dallas is seen by the White House as a way to address the immigration issue while avoiding awkward optics at the border. Tens of thousands of unaccompanied children have arrived there in recent months, many fleeing violence in Central America, but also drawn by rumors that they can stay in the U.S. White House officials say most are unlikely to qualify for humanitarian relief and will be sent back to their home countries.

Obama arrived in Dallas early Wednesday evening. He bounded down the stairs and gave Perry a big wave. Perry didn’t wave back, but the two shook hands and then quickly turned and walked toward Marine One, the helicopter that would take them to the round-table meeting. Obama put his hand on Perry’s back for some of the walk.

Obama’s decision to skip a border visit is likely to provide more fodder for the Republicans and the handful of Democrats who say the president hasn’t responded quickly and forcefully enough to the mounting crisis.

Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Tex-

President Barack Obama is greeted Wednesday by Texas Gov. Rick Perry as he arrives at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. The president is expected to attend a meeting on immigration. as, raised the prospect that Obama’s failure to take a firsthand look at the border crisis could be akin to former President George W. Bush viewing the devastation of Hurricane Katrina from the air instead of on the ground.

“I’m sure that President Bush thought the same thing, that he could just look at everything from up in the sky, and then he owned it after a long time,” Cuellar said on Fox News. “So I hope this doesn’t become the Katrina moment for President Obama, saying that he doesn’t need to come to the border. He should come down.”

Perry, a possible GOP presidential candidate in 2016, has been scathing in his criticism of Obama, saying the White House has failed to respond to his repeated warnings about a flood of minors at the border.

“I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from,” Perry said Sunday.

Even immigrant advocates, who say Obama’s response has been too focused on enhancing enforcement and deportation, said he would benefit from witness-

ing the influx first hand.

“It would have been nice for him to see and speak to some of these children and some of these mothers with children who’ve come – to find out first hand why they’re coming,” Michelle Brane, director of migrant rights and justice at the Women’s Refugee Commission, said Wednesday. “I think that would make a difference in how he sees this problem.”

Obama spokesman Josh Earnest said the White House wasn’t worried about the optics of the president traveling to Texas without visiting the border. Officials also pointed to Obama’s request to Congress on Tuesday for additional resources at the border as a sign of the president’s engagement in the crisis.

If approved by Congress, the funding would go to increase detention, care and transportation of unaccompanied children, help speed the removal of adults with children by increasing the capacity of immigration courts and increase prosecution of smuggling networks.

The money also would help increase surveillance at the border and help Central American countries repatriate border-crossers sent back from the United States.

Israel steps up offensive as diplomacy kicks off

By JOSEF FEDERMAN The Associated Press JERUSALEM – With rockets raining deep inside Israel, the military pummeled Palestinian targets Wednesday across the Gaza Strip and threatened a broad ground offensive, while the first diplomatic efforts to end two days of heavy fighting got underway.

Egypt, which has mediated before between Israel and the Hamas militant group, said it spoke to all sides about ending the violence. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry was in touch with Israel to try to lower tensions. And the United Nations chief warned of a “deteriorating situation ... which could quickly get beyond anyone’s control.”

As the Palestinian death toll rose above 60, neither side showed any sign of halting

their heaviest fighting since an eight-day battle in late 2012.

Israel said it hit more than 300 targets and Hamas positions throughout Gaza, including rocket-launchers, weapons-storage sites and tunnels that it said the group uses to carry out attacks. The military said 74 rockets landed in Israel, including one that reached the northern city of Hadera, the deepest rocket strike ever from Gaza.

“Hamas will pay a heavy price for firing toward Israeli citizens,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. “The operation will expand and continue until the fire toward our towns stops and quiet returns.”

Israel began the offensive Tuesday in response to weeks of rocket launches, and officials said the airstrikes would continue until the firing stops.

stepped up efforts to measure improper payments, identify the cause and develop plans to reduce them, said Beth Cobert, deputy director of the White House budget office.

Federal agencies recovered more than $22 billion in overpayments last year, she said.

“We have taken an aggressive approach to attacking waste, fraud and abuse within federal agencies, and we will continue to seek out new and innovative tools to help us in this fight,” Cobert told the subcommittee.

WASHINGTON – Tax credits for families that don’t qualify. Medicare payments for treatments that might not be necessary. Unemployment benefits for people who are secretly working.

Federal agencies reported making $100 billion in payments last year to people who may not have been entitled to receive them.

Congressional investigators say the figure could be even higher.

“The amounts here are absolutely staggering,” said Rep. John Mica, R-Fla. “It’s over $100 billion each of the last five years. That’s a staggering half a trillion dollars in improper payments.”

Mica chairs the House Oversight government operations subcommittee, which held a hearing on improper payments Wednesday.

Each year, federal agencies are required to estimate the amount of improper payments they issue.

They include overpayments, underpayments, payments to the wrong recipient and payments that were made without proper documentation.

Some improper payments are the result of fraud, while others are unintentional, caused by clerical errors or mistakes in awarding benefits without proper verification.

In 2013, federal agencies made $97 billion in overpayments, according to agency estimates. Underpayments totaled $9 billion. That adds up to $106 billion in improper payments, or 3.5 percent of all the payments made by the federal government.

The Obama administration has reduced the amount of improper payments since they peaked at $121 billion in 2010. The administration has

Leadership at Veterans Affairs face challenges No one should envy the task ahead of Robert McDonald.

He is expected to take over as secretary of the shaken Department of Veterans Affairs, a massive government operation that is embroiled in an outrageous scandal and for years has been stymied by systemic delays in providing care.

It is hard to ascertain exactly how much difference McDonald can make and how quickly, but he must summon up all his considerable skills and powers to do so.

McDonald is a West Point graduate and most recently served as chairman of Procter & Gamble, a Fortune 500 company.

But running the Veterans Affairs is quite different than being in charge of a big corporation in the private sector. McDonald will need the right tools to do the job, including being able to replace, and fast, anyone who isn’t up to the solemn task of providing adequate medical coverage to veterans – or effectively overseeing those who are providing the care.

To that end, President Barack Obama said he is instituting rules so that anyone caught acting improperly – including falsifying records to improve wait times – will be held accountable.

The policies will make it easier to fire administrators caught making such egregious decisions.

While that is all fine and good, prosecutors also have ample authority to go after any criminal ac-

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

tivity, and they shouldn’t be hesitant to bring charges where appropriate.

So far, the worst part of the scandal involves the Phoenix VA hospital, where 40 veterans may have died while awaiting treatment. Yet, it has been known for years that the VA was severely backed up, with tens of thousands of veterans waiting months for appointments.

One remedy involves a two-year trial program, under which veterans will be able to seek private health care if they reside more than 40 miles from a VA facility – or have been waiting more than 30 days for treatment.

Congress will have to go further, including making sure the funds are available to more fully automate the VA medical system. It must have a realistic amount of resources to handle the influx of veterans it has been receiving and treating since the end of the Iraq War and drawdown of troops in Afghanistan.

The Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee will hold confirmation hearings on McDonald’s nomination, and he will have to win approval by the full Senate.

The Senate should use this time not only to approve McDonald but to go over with him in painstaking detail, what he, the rest of the Obama administration and Congress would need to do to remedy this national outrage.

Hobby Lobby decision a victory for all The Independence Day celebration started early this year, on the very last day of June, in front of the Supreme Court of the United States.

I got to the marble steps just a little before the ruling in the Hobby Lobby case, in which the company objected to covering some forms of birth control for its employees, citing religious reasons.

Already there was a hopeful anticipation, as Kristan Hawkins from Students for Life led the students, interns, activists, wives and moms in a rally.

Also before the Court were the similar religious-liberty concerns of the Hahn family – they are Mennonites – who run a cabinet-making company in Pennsylvania. The Hahns are about the last peo-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ILLIANA PROJECT DOOMED To the Editor: Staunch supporters of the proposed Illiana are claiming, all on board, better grab your life jackets, your ship is about to sink.

The CMAP (Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning) board voted, 10 to 4, that the Illiana does not comply with the go-to 2040 plan. Therefore IDOT’s Illiana is operating illegally. A second lawsuit has been filed against IDOT Ann Schneider, CMAP, and MPO (Metropolitan Planning Organization). Claiming the Illiana violated the Illinois regional planning act, and requires approval by the CMAP board.

IDOT knew the law, should have read the fine print for the second time, then stopped.

IDOT’s Illiana went full steam ahead, ignoring the law. Now IDOT’s Illiana and all staunch supporters of the Illiana become a part of a multibillion dollar scam, and attempting to sell the public on the fact that the Illiana would create thousands of short- and long-term jobs.

Another scam.

The lawsuit seeks a court order declaring that the MPO committee vote was unauthorized violated the Illinois Regional Planning Act, and is without legal effect, and that IDOT lacks legal authority to spend public funds and continue to work on the project. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has become involved. The Illiana would impact endangered species in the area of the proposed Illiana in Indiana, as well as impact the Midewin National Tall Grass Prairie in Wilmington.

Therefore with all that against the Illiana, this project is doomed. Your Illiana is dead,

In conclusion, we are truly blessed having these incredible parks and recreational facilities in our midst in Will County.

Thanks to the entire Will County Forest Preserve staff and administration for all of your dedicated efforts on our behalf!!! Readers, please utilize and enjoy these local recreational treasures!

Sincerely David R. Marco

Outside the Court that morning, activists representing groups including NARAL Pro-Choice America, who helped craft the mandate in the first place, were on site, too, led by a young man screaming about birth control, as a rainbow-colored sign greeted traffic, insisting that the religious-liberty claim at issue was “Bigotry Disguised as Religion.” But what I saw were mostly young women who came out to voice their appreciation for Americans who would go to Court to defend what has been described as “our first, most cherished liberty.”

In her dissenting opinion, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asserted that “The exemption sought by Hobby Lobby and Conestoga would ... deny legions of women who do not hold their employers’ beliefs access to contraceptive coverage.” This portrait is an unnecessary distraction, as abortion-inducing drug and contraception coverage is not a right that people have fought and died for, while religious liberty is.

Ginsberg also writes: “Religious organizations exist to foster the interests of persons subscribing to the same religious faith. Not so of for-profit corporations.

Workers who sustain the operations of those corporations commonly are not drawn from one religious community.” As much fun as the media has with the

old Mitt Romney line about people and corporations, the owners of Hobby Lobby didn’t surrender their religious-liberty rights the day they decided to supply the scrapbookers of America.

Upon reflection, I wonder if Justice Ginsberg might be relieved that she did not win the day. Not so long ago, she voiced the opinion that the Court’s Roe v. Wade ruling had actually done damage to the abortion-rights cause, having been an unnecessary momentum-killer. If the Obama administration, bolstered by the abortion industry, truly does believe that abortion and contraceptive coverage is basic health care, it should make that case out in the open. Instead, since the very beginning of the debate, it has argued using obfuscation and demonization, sowing confusion and even intentionally misleading, while accusing others of “bearing false witness.”

We live in a time when there is a lot of confusion about fundamentals – faith, family and freedom. When the women showed up that morning at the Court, they were encouraging all Americans to treasure the gifts we have as a free people.

You don’t have to shop at Hobby Lobby to celebrate the victory won for us all before the Court.

Morris looking to get back on track

OLINGBROOK – Before last season, the Morris football program had qualified for the playoffs 12 straight years and 28 of the previous 30.

The Redskins have been to 10 state championship games, most recently in 2012.

Last fall, however, Morris had little experience returning from the latest state team. The result was a 3-6 season.

That represented Redskins’ lowest victory total since 1976 and meant a heavy dose of growing pains.

If for no other reason than the heightened experience level this season, there is reason for optimism as the Redkins attempt to return to their winning ways. Of course, as members of the Northern Illinois Big 12 East and with Minooka and Metamora on the nonconference schedule, nothing will be easy.

“We have close to 15 or 16 regulars back and others who got some good time,” coach Alan Thorson said during the Bolingbrook 7-on-7 Passing League that convenes on Tuesday nights. “We’re confident we can compete in our conference with the experience level we have.”

Thorson said experience is huge at the quarterback spot, and Morris has that. Senior Griffin Sobol will be starting for a second season.

“Griffin had a learning experience last season,” Thorson said. “He got more comfortable as the season went on.”

“I feel like I could have played better last year,” Sobol said. “Now it’s senior year. I want to go all out and help us win a state championship.”

The running game will feature 1,000-yard rusher Jake Walker, with fellow

Morris football players participate in a 7-on-7 exercise Tuesday at Bolingbrook High School.

Morris football coach Alan Thorson watches a 7-on-7 exercise Tuesday at Bolingbrook High School. Thorson said he is confident the team can compete in its conference lever with the experience it has. RIGHT: Morris quarterback Griffin Sobol participates in an exercise. Sobel is a senior and will be starting for a second season. “I want to go all out and help us win a state championship,” he said. senior Robbie Meucci leading the way, at least at times, from the fullback slot.

“Robbie is a senior linebacker and fullback, and he might play some tight end,” Thorson said. “He’s a very good athlete and one of our leaders on defense.”

As for Walker, he is a weapon and then some.

“We expect huge things of

Jake,” Thorson said. “He’s a special athlete and a huge part of our offense.”

“Last year went pretty well for me personally, but I’m more of a team person,” Walker said. “There’s no special number of carries I want to get or anything like that. I just want to do what they ask me to do.

“The experience I got

last year was the big thing.

I gathered more knowledge.

This offseason I have worked on my speed more. I gained a little weight and am keeping up on my agility.”

Sobol said the Redskins should offer a balanced attack.

“I think our passing game will be better because our receivers are more experi-

enced and have more athleticism,” he said. “Walker will be a very good running back, and Robbie Meucci is good to have back there, too.

“The big thing in our running game is how strong the line is physically and mentally. T.J. Layne will be a good leader and a couple of juniors will get it done.”

“The linemen are getting bigger and stronger,” Walker said. “Our offense just has to stay on the same page.”

Staying on the same page involves avoiding turnovers.

“Our coaches can’t stand turnovers and we can’t, either,” Walker said. “They affected us quite a bit last year.”

Layne, a guard on offense and an end on defense, is a three-year starter and the only starter from the state runner-up team of two years ago.

“We’re bringing back a lot of kids on defense,” Thorson said. “Two of our three linebackers are back. T.J. Layne on the defensive line is a three-year starter. Keagan Sobol, Griffin’s brother, is a sophomore linebacker who we will have on the varsity.

“This year we are excited about our offensive and defensive lines. We have a lot of starters. They have strength.

They have hit the weight room hard since last season.”

The classes filling the varsity roster have had success.

“Our juniors were conference champs as sophomores,” Thorson said. “Our seniors had some success as freshmen and sophomores. We’re spending the entire summer trying to jell as a team.

“The big key is to get out of the gates strong. Last year was tough, but I like the way the offseason has gone.

The kids are motivated. I like how things are shaping up, especially if we can stay healthy.

“We still have a lot of work to do, but I like our team.”

VIEWS Dick Goss sometime in the near future.

Elsewhere in the minor league, outfielder John Ruettiger (Joliet Catholic) has been the feel-good local story of late.

Playing for Baltimore’s Double-A affiliate at Bowie, Ruettiger entered Wednesday having six multi-hit game in his last eight starts and is 15for-28 in that span, a .536 clip.

That has bumped his average to .292 (38-for-130). He also has six stolen bases in 10 attempts.

Outfielder Joe Benson (JCA) had been on a hot streak not long ago. However, he entered Wednesday on a 0-for-17 skid at Jacksonville, Miami’s Double-A team. That left his average at .242 (63-for-260) with 11 doubles, two triples, six homers and 34 RBIs.

Right-handed pitcher Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka), who is 6-6 with a 4.78 ERA, has allowed 23 earned runs in his last 241⁄3 innings for Oklahoma City, Houston’s Triple-A team.

He has yielded 83 hits and 43 walks while striking out 84 in 862⁄3 innings.

Right-hander Zach Petrick (Morris), pitching at Triple-A Memphis in the St. Louis system, endured an “ouch” game July 1, when he allowed eight earned runs on eight hits in 11⁄3 innings. That has inflated his ERA to 5.06 in 742⁄3 innings and he has a 4-4 record.

Tony Bucciferro (Minooka) is at A-Advanced Winston-Salem in the White Sox organization. The right-hander is 6-7 with a 3.81 ERA. He has allowed 116 hits but only 10 walks while striking out 76 in 104 innings.

Playing at Lowell in the Short-Season A New YorkPenn League, first baseman

Sam Travis (Providence) is hitting .282 (20-for-71) with two homers and nine RBIs. He is 15 for his last 46, a .366 clip.

Catcher Mike Hollenbeck (Joliet Township) is hitting, 174 (4-for-23) for the White Sox’s team in the Arizona Rookie League. Pitcher Jake Butler (Minooka, USF) is on the roster of the Rookie Gulf Coast League Tigers.

In the independent ranks, second baseman Nick Ratajczak (JCA) never really got going offensively was released by the Washington Wild Things of the Frontier League.

Stalowy back at ISU A long time ago, I coached my daughter’s softball and son’s baseball teams. A story I occasionally recall is one involving Mike Stalowy (JCA).

Stalowy, who would go on to an excellent career in high school and then Illinois State, was a slugger at an early age.

My team at Whiteford was not loaded with gifted baseball players, but the kids were out there learning and enjoying the game.

Whenever we faced Stalowy and his Troy team, however, I went to my most effective prayers: “Please, God, don’t let him hit one of those shots right at one of our kids.” I was afraid he could hurt someone, he hit the ball so hard.

Anyway, Stalowy has returned to ISU, where he hired last week as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for ISU coach Bo Durkac. He played for the Redbirds from 2006 through 2009, was a student assistant in 2010 and an assistant coach at Bellarmine and Valparaiso since then.

With former Joliet West boys basketball coach Luke Yaklich an assistant in the basketball program, two of my favorites are coaching in major men’s programs at ISU.

BLACKHAWKS

Hawks lock two biggest stars; sign Toews, Kane to eight-year contracts

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com Eight more years for Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane.

One last hurrah for the Blackhawks’ vaunted core?

The Hawks locked up their two biggest stars Wednesday by signing Toews and Kane to matching eight-year extensions worth a combined $168 million that will keep them in Chicago through the end of the 2022-23 season, when Toews will be 35

and Kane 34.

The deals were as inevitable as they were warranted, the biggest – albeit most expensive – no-brainers in Jonathan team history. Toews But each carries an NHL-record cap hit of $10.5 million a season, which means not everyone whose name is on the Stanley Cup twice will be around to see those extensions

kick in come 2015-16.

Of course, there never was any suspense to this one. Sure, the negotiations Patrick dragged a bit Kane past general manager Stan Bowman’s stated target of July 1, but Toews and Kane never were going anywhere. As Bowman put it, they’ll be Hawks “forever.” Eventually, that

means they’ll be immortalized in statue form at the United Center. For now, it means they will stay in Chicago through the primes of their careers.

Neither is a 50-goal scorer such as Alex Ovechkin, whose cap hit of $9.538 million was blown away by the deals. Toews never has been a point-a-game player. Kane’s not even on the Hawks’ top line. But they’re 26 and 25 years old, respectively, each with two Stanley Cups and a Conn Smythe Trophy to

his credit. Perhaps most significant, they’re the duo who woke a dormant, moribund franchise, sparked a 277-game (and counting) sellout streak at the long-abandoned United Center and led the Hawks out of obscurity and down Michigan Avenue in 2010 and into Grant Park in 2013.

“Jonathan and Patrick have become cornerstones of this franchise during their time in Chicago,” Bowman said in a statement.

Fortunes can change in a hurry in professional baseball.

Shortstop Dean Anna, a Lincoln-Way East graduate, won the Pacific Coast League batting title with a .331 average last season, when he was property of the San Diego Padres.

He was traded to the Yankees last offseason and was with the parent club early in the season, his first taste of the big leagues. He had three hits, including his first homer, before being sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Anna had a lengthy stay on the Triple-A disabled list and shortly after returning, he was waived last Thursday. The Pirates claimed him off waivers last Saturday and assigned him to Triple-A Indianapolis, where he had one hit in his first six at-bats with two RBIs. Here’s hoping the Pirates have the need for a good left-handed hitter, who can play short, third or second,

Slammers swept by Normal

Simon 1st in NL to win 12 in Cubs loss

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, July 10, 2014

SUBMITTED REPORTS NORMAL – Colin Gotzon’s professional debut was impressive but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Joliet Slammers from being swept Tuesday night.

After the Slammers were blown out 11-3 in the opening game of a doubleheader against the Normal CornBelters, Gotzon pitched a strong six innings in the nightcap.

However, he left with the score 2-2 after six innings and the CornBelters scored a run on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the eighth of a game scheduled for seven innings to win, 3-2.

Gotzon allowed solo home runs to Mike Schwartz and Aaron Dudley.

The Slammers tied it 2-2 in the fifth on back-to-back RBI singles from Adam Giacalone, who homered and singled in Game 1, and Marquis Riley.

However, Joliet stranded 11 runners, which would prove costly.

Gotzon allowed the first two batters to reach in the sixth but retired the next three to escape the jam. He finished his debut allowing two runs on six hits with three strikeouts.

Jordan Wellander pitched a scoreless seventh and Brett Zawacki worked the eighth.

He allowed a leadoff triple to Schwartz and intentionally walked the next two hitters to load the bases with no outs. After a strikeout, Pat McKenna walked to push across the winning run.

Joliet’s Grant DeBruin, who cracked a two-run homer and single in Game 1, extended his hitting streak to 11 games and has reached base in 19 of his last 20 games.

Normal was leading Wednesday night’s game 4-2 in the eighth inning at press time.

By JOE KAY The Associated Press CINCINNATI – Alfredo Simon became the NL’s first 12game winner and Billy Hamilton added to his sensational series with a tiebreaking triple Wednesday night, leading the Cincinnati Reds to a 4-1 victory over the trade-depleted Cubs.

Cubs manager Rick Renteria was ejected during the inning for arguing a foul ball call with third base umpire Andy Fletcher.

Hamilton is 7 for 15 with three triples, three walks, two steals and seven RBIs during the series. On Tuesday night, his ninth-inning single completed the Reds’ comeback from a five-run deficit to a 6-5 win and a doubleheader sweep. He left the game in the eighth with a tight left hamstring.

Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips also left in the eighth after spraining his left thumb while making a sliding catch. X-rays were negative.

It’s been a tough week for the Cubs, who have lost all six games – their deepest slump of the season – since they dealt starters Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to Oakland for a package of prospects.

Red Sox rally from four-run deficit to beat White Sox

By JIMMY GOLEN The Associated Press BOSTON – Daniel Nava doubled in the tying run in the ninth inning and scored on Brock Holt’s single as the Boston Red Sox rallied from a four-run deficit to beat the White Sox, 5-4, on Wednesday night and snap a fourgame losing streak.

Chris Sale pitched 7 2-3 innings of four-hit ball and left with a 4-0 lead in his bid to earn the last spot on the AL All-Star team.

The winner of the fan voting will be announced on Thursday and Sale, an AllStar the last two seasons, walked none and struck out six before his bullpen cost him a chance to improve to 9-1.

Jake Petricka faced four batters in the eighth and failed to record an out.

It was 4-3 by the time Javy Guerra (0-1) retired Mike Carp to end the eighth.

Koji Uehara (5-2), who was added to the AL All-Star team earlier Wednesday, earned the win.

Jose Abreu and Conor Gillaspie homered to help stake the White Sox, which had won three straight, to a 4-0 lead. Sale did not allow a runner to reach third base until the eighth, when Betts led off with an odd double – he

beat out an infield single and took second when he noticed no one was covering – then moved up on a groundout.

After getting Holt to ground out, Sale was replaced by Petricka.

And that’s when the Red Sox, who had lost seven of their first eight games on the homestand, rallied.

Abreu hit a solo homer to deep center field in the first inning, his 28th of the season. Only Mark McGwire, who had 33 homers at the 1987 All-Star break, hit more in the first half of his rookie season.

Gillaspie added a solo shot in the second, and the White Sox made it 3-0 when he doubled and scored in the fourth. Tyler Flowers and Adam Eaton had consecutive doubles in the seventh to make it 4-0.

It stayed that way until White Sox manager Robin Ventura pulled Sale with two outs in the eighth, and Petricka couldn’t get an out.

BEARS POSITION BREAKDOWN: WIDE RECEIVERS

Marshall, Jeffery make up the best starting pair in NFL

Today: Wide receivers

• Thursday, July 10, 2014

Overview: There is little question, in fact none in my mind that entering the 2014 season, wide receiver is the strongest position on the Bears roster and Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery make up the best pair of starting wideouts in the NFL. Alshon It is also posJeffery sible, however, that should either Marshall or Jeffery get dinged and miss any significant playing time, wide receiver could become the Bears’ greatest weakness.

In other words, depth is a huge question.

But let’s go with the glass half full story first: When both Pro Bowlers Marshall (100 catches for 1,295 yards and 12 touchdowns in 2013) and Jeffery (89 catches for 1,421 yards and seven scores, plus 20 catches of 20-plus yards) are on the field, it is pick your poison for Bears opponents, and their defenses really can’t afford to double-team either one for fear Jay Cutler will find Martellus Bennett or Matt Forte to abuse them with.

The lone remaining doubt on Jeffery is how effective will he be if Marshall is off the field and defenses aren’t geared to stop the veteran first? At the end of the day they are the most productive duo in the NFL. The problem is that among Josh Bellamy, Armanti Edwards, Josh Morgan, Micheal Spurlock, Terrence Tolliver, Eric Weems, Chris Williams

WIDEOUT AMONG STRONGEST

Kyle Grillot file photo – kgrillot@shawmedia.com

Brandon Marshall enters the field Sept. 15 before the start of the NFL game against the Minnesota Vikings. Bears won, 31-30. Marshall and Alshon Jeffery make up the best pair of starting wideouts in the NFL. and Marquess Wilson behind them on the roster, Morgan is the only one with meaningful NFL starting experience and production, should someone have to step up.

At 6-1, 220 pounds, Morgan has 199 catches for 2,488 yards and 11 TD’s in four years with the 49ers and two more, most recently in Washington.

Wilson is the guy the Bears hope can take a huge step up after drafting him in the seventh round in 2013. He was active for 10 games last year, but targeted just twice with two catches for 13 yards.

Edwards, Spurlock and Weems are career journeymen who will be in training camp more as special teams specialists than wideout options.

The problem for Williams is

at 5-foot-7 (the Bears list him as 5-8 but he isn’t), 175 pounds he is probably strictly a return specialist in the NFL. Bellamy and Tolliver are basically practice squad guys hoping to take the next step.

Position battles: The most fascinating battle to watch in camp will be Morgan and Wilson going head-to-head for the No. 3 wide receiver position. As high as the Bears folks claim to be on Wilson, and he took all the first-team reps in OTA’s and minicamp, Morgan should provide quite

the competition and be given a chance to win the job.

The best battle in camp will probably be Williams, Spurlock and Edwards battling for punt return chores with Weems joining them in the kickoff returner competition.

Only one of the first three will make the club with Weems having a shot at sticking as a special teams gunner even if he can’t be a returner.

Contract situations (information via Spotrac): With Marshall receiving a three-year extension last month, the Bears have no contracts to worry about here. Jeffery will be eligible for a contract extension for the first time after this season so another big year for him will put pressure on the Bears to belly up to the bar with some

serious cash, although the franchise tag will be in play in 2016. The three guys they covet the most – Marshall, Jeffery and Wilson – are all under club control beyond this season.

Keep an eye on: Tolliver is the guy who could be intriguing if he were able to take a huge step forward from last season. At 6-5, 204, lining him up with the 6-4 Marshall, 6-3 Jeffery and 6-6 Bennett would be a matchup nightmare for any defense. But with Wilson ahead of him on the depth chart and standing 6-4 himself, it just doesn’t seem likely the Bears will have any real surprises at this position this year. Wilson is the other guy to watch as Marshall and the coaches continue to sing his praises.

WORLD CUP: ARGENTINA 0, NETHERLANDS 0 (ARGENTINA WINS, 4-2, ON PKS)

‘A matter of luck’

By MIKE CORDER The Associated Press SAO PAULO – Goalkeeper Sergio Romero saved two penalties Wednesday to send Argentina into the World Cup final with a 4-2 shootout win over the Netherlands after the match finished in a 0-0 stalemate.

A day after Germany lit up the World Cup with its clinical 7-1 destruction of host Brazil, the Netherlands and Argentina could not manage a goal between them in 120 minutes before the shootout.

Romero – thought to be a weak link in this Argentine team and not even a starter for his Monaco club most of last season – blocked penalties by Ron Vlaar and Wesley Sneijder.

For Argentina, Lionel Messi, Ezequiel Garay, Sergio Aguero and Maxi Rodriguez all converted their spot kicks.

“It’s luck, that’s the truth.

You can dive [the right way] and not make it, like happened to their goalkeeper,” Romero said. “I had confidence, thank God things turned out well.”

In a matchup of two of soccer’s powerhouse nations, twotime champion Argentina will play three-time winner Germany in Sunday’s final at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.

That means an extra bitter end to the tournament for Brazilians, who will have to watch their fiercest rivals play for the world title in their most hallowed stadium against a team that humiliated their nation in the semifinals.

It was the second straight penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw for the Dutch.

Against Costa Rica in the quarterfinals, coach Louis van Gaal brought on substitute goalkeeper Tim Krul in the last seconds of extra time to replace Jasper Cillessen and Krul saved two spot kicks.

This time, Van Gaal had used up all three substitutions by the end of extra time and Cillessen had to face the shootout.

Van Gaal said he would have made the same keeper swap if he’d had a substitution left.

Argentina goalkeeper Sergio Romero celebrates Wednesday after he saved a shot by the Netherlands’ Wesley Sneijder from the spot during a World Cup semifinal between the Netherlands and Argentina at the Itaquerao Stadium in Sao Paulo. Argentina beat the Netherlands, 4-2, in a penalty shootout to reach the World Cup final. sive powerful shot, but could only deflect it into the roof of the net, and then collapsed onto his knees and sank onto his back. Krul walked across the pitch to console him.

Van Gaal said he even had a hand in Romero’s heroics, having trained him at AZ Alkmaar in the Dutch league.

“Penalties are always a matter of luck,” he said. “And I taught Romero how to stop penalties so that hurts.”

Many of Argentina’s players stripped off their shirts in the rain at the Itaquerao Stadium and danced in front of their fans.

Argentina reached its fifth final, and its first in 24 years. It won the title in 1978 – beating the Dutch – and in 1986. It lost the championship matches in 1930 and 1990. It played West Germany in both the ’86 and ’90 finals.

The Netherlands, which has never won the World Cup, was seeking to reach its fourth final.

The tournament’s second semifinal had been billed as a showdown between Messi and Arjen Robben, but both star dribblers were subdued. Instead it was midfield controllers Nigel de Jong and Javier Mascherano who stood out as both sides’ defenses marked two of the World Cup’s biggest stars out of the match.

When Robben finally broke free in stoppage time, Mascherano’s perfectly timed sliding tackle blocked his shot at the near post.

De Jong, who recovered from a groin injury to start, lasted just over an hour before being replaced by Feyenoord midfielder Jordy Clasie, who made his World Cup debut.

After scoring 10 goals in three group matches, the Dutch scoring dried up in the knockout rounds. The team managed two late strikes against Mexico but failed to find the net before eliminating Costa Rica in the quarterfinal shootout.

“The issue in a championship like this one is that you score one more goal than your opponent, which we didn’t do,” Van Gaal said, “We didn’t create very much.”

Argentina also has found goals hard to come by in Brazil, not winning any of its matches by more than a one-goal margin and recording back-to-back 1-0 wins over Switzerland and Belgium in the knockout stages.

The two sides’ attacking impotence was highlighted by a 73rd-minute free kick by Messi from the right corner that sailed over everybody and out of play. Dirk Kuyt followed suit a minute later by sending a long ball off the other end of the pitch.

Argentina tried to finish the match in the second half of extra time, but when the chances came Rodrigo Palacio headed tamely at Cillessen and Maxi Rodriguez mishit a volley.

“Argentina didn’t create very many opportunities, if any,” Van Gaal said. “So there was a balance in the match.”

‘All tied under the same God’ Joliet woman inspired hundreds of college students to serve the poor

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The services Melissa Racine, 21, of Lockport performed at a poor day care in Bolivia were simple, but they will forever impact her.

Things like pushing a little girl on a swing for two hours, because no one usually had time to push her and she did not want to stop. Or offering spoonfuls of home-cooked rice and beef to a dozen children at one time.

“I’d feed one child, then move over and feed another,” Racine said.

Helping to make those missionary opportunities available to young adults is Natalie Bayci, 79, of Joliet who has organized and participated in 18 mission trips for the Diocese of Joliet in the past 20 years.

During that time, Bayci has mentored more than 600 students and helped them raise the $2,300 to participate. In 2011, Bayci still found time to accompany an adult medical team to Kenya, although Bayci is not a health care worker.

“They needed someone to offer prayer,” Bayci said.

Still, Bayci shrugs off her accomplishments and lauds the students. Bayci doesn’t feel she’s done anything extraordinary, except to follow the call to serve.

“I believe it is what God called me to do,” Bayci said.

Raised by parents dedicated to serving their church and neighbors, Bayci’s first mission trip was in 1952. Bayci, then a student at the former St. Francis Academy in Joliet (now Joliet Catholic Academy) and two friends rode a bus from Joliet to Grailville (www. grailville.org) in Ohio.

There, they packaged and delivered produce to families on the organization’s list.

A nun at the academy had suggested the girls check out Grailville, Bayci said, because

a group of lay women ran the program.

“My parents did not say, ‘no,’ ” Bayci said, “so off we went.’

Fast forward to the 1980s, when Bayci served as a youth minister for the Cathedral of St. Raymond for 11 years.

Under Bayci’s direction, students visited their sponsored child in Guatemala and made mission trips to Russia and to Nazareth Farm (nazarethfarm. org) in West Virginia.

“I felt it was very important for our young people to see how other people lived in different cultures,” Bayci said, “and yet, all tied under the same God.” As former Bishop Joseph Imesch’s assistant for 30 years,

Bayci recalled that 20 years ago, the Diocese of Joliet started sending missionaries to Bolivia. When the person coordinating similar trips for University of St. Francis students took another position, Bayci filled the gap. She then opened up the opportunity to students from Lewis University in Romeoville and Benedictine University in Lisle.

Each year in Bolivia, Bayci and the students volunteer at day care centers for poor children and hospitals for the neurologically challenged. In 2006, Bayci went to Bolivia twice. The first visit was in April for the dedication of a 32-bed hospital that has since seen 4,500 surgeries through Diocese of Joliet medical mis-

sionaries. The second was that June, with the students.

Bayci also began an exchange program so Bolivian students could attend one semester of school at the University of St. Francis. Three years ago, Kevin A. O’Donnell, director of the office of young adult and youth ministry for the Diocese of Joliet, began coordinating the Bolivia trips, Bayci said. She is seeking her replacement coordinator for the Philippines.

“You have to find the right person,” Bayci said. “It has to be someone that has affinity with the poor and wants to help them.”

O’Donnell said he was honored that Bayci entrusted him with “her baby” and called her a “phenomenal person of faith.

He has, so far, organized four mission trips to Bolivia.

“I will never achieve what Natalie has achieved,” O’Donnell said.

Ten years ago, when the Diocese of Joliet began sending mission teams to the Philippines, Bayci went along with the intention of starting a youth construction team the following year. It’s since

attracted up to 30 students at a time – in addition to Bayci – who sift sand through an old screen door.

“I also carry blocks off the truck,” Bayci said. “I can carry one 20-pound cement block at a time.”

Paying close attention to Bayci’s example was Lewis University graduate student Sophia Barakat. In the past 18 months, Barakat, who previously only volunteered close to home, has participated in two trips to Bolivia and one to the Philippines.

Barakat mixed cement, dug holes, made bricks, cared for children and learned the value of a hug, holding someone’s hand or an accepting a peanut from an 8-year-old who had nothing else to share, she said.

All the while, Barakat said, Bayci encouraged and engaged the students, while keeping her eye on the mission at hand.

“It’s a style of leadership I’ve never seen,” Barakat said.

“It was never about what ‘she’ did; it was about what ‘we’ did.

She doesn’t want a reward, plaque or building named in her honor. I have the utmost respect for her.”

South Carolina Episcopalians take name, seal fight to court

By JEFFREY COLLINS The Associated Press ST. GEORGE, S.C. – About 50 conservative Episcopal churches in South Carolina are in court this week, trying to keep their name, seal and $500 million in land and buildings after they broke away from the national denomination in a wide-ranging theological dispute.

The breakaway group, the Diocese of South Carolina, said it had to leave the national church not just because of the ordination of gays, but a series of decisions it says show national Episcopalians have lost their way in the teachings of Jesus and salvation.

The national church argues the split wasn’t properly made, and it is fighting for the 20 or so churches in South Carolina staying under its umbrella.

Property disputes in the Episcopal Church and other Protestant churches have been going on for decades and end with varying results.

In March, the U.S. Supreme Court decided not to intervene in a dispute between the Episcopal Church and a conservative northern Virginia congregation that left the denomination in a rift over homosexuality and other issues. The court left in place a judge’s decision siding with the national church, ending a seven-year fight over a church that traces its roots back to George Washington.

In Seattle on Monday, the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia and two Anglican churches that left in 2004 reached a settlement that made it possible

Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein listens Tuesday to an objection during a trial in a lawsuit between the Diocese of South Carolina and the national Episcopal church in St. George, S.C. The diocese broke away from the national church two years ago, and now the national church is demanding the breakaway churches return $500 million in land and buildings. Goodstein will rule on the suit without a jury. for all parties to continue with their ministries. A ruling by the Texas Supreme Court siding with dozens of dissident congregations in the Fort Worth area was appealed last month to the nation’s highest court.

In South Carolina, some of the church property in dispute dates to before the Revolutionary War, and it’s located in prime real estate areas in Charleston and other coastal towns.

“At no point in our history has the national church contributed financially to the building or maintenance of any of our church buildings, facilities, or ministries,” said the Rev. Ken Weldon, rector of St. John’s Church in Florence.

The trial started Tuesday and is expected to last two

weeks, focusing on the less holy issue of corporate law.

On the first day, men in priest collars mingled with a number of lawyers in bow ties. Circuit Judge Diane Goodstein is hearing the case at the Dorchester County Courthouse along the coast. It’s not clear when she may rule.

The first witness was a lawyer for the breakaway churches. He was questioned about the steps the Diocese of South Carolina took to split. Lawyers got him to point out salaries for church officials were paid for without help from the national church.

On cross examination, an attorney emphasized that breakaway church officials didn’t start to act like a corporation until they wanted legal protection.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Is that one stopper or two in spades?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Albert Einstein said, “Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. The important thing is not to stop questioning.”

You are in a no-trump contract and the opponents lead a suit in which you have only one top-trick stopper. (This is usually the ace, but might be the king if third hand takes the first trick with the ace.)

How long do you hold up that stopper?

In this example deal, South is in three no-trump. What should he do after West leads his fourth-highest spade and East puts up the queen?

Declarer has seven top tricks: one spade, one heart, four diamonds and one club. The other two winners will come from clubs, but if that finesse loses, the defenders might take five black-suit tricks first.

How long should declarer hold up his spade ace? To answer that question, typically he applies the Rule of Seven. He adds together the number of cards in the suit led that are in the dummy and his hand. He subtracts the total from seven and holds up for that number of rounds.

Here, six from seven is one. So South ducks the first trick, takes the second trick with his spade ace, and runs the club 10. It loses, but the contract is safe.

Note two things. First, if East has a third spade, the suit would be breaking 4-3 and declarer would lose only three spades and one club. Second, if South ducks two rounds of spades, West ought to shift to the heart king. Then the defenders will take two spades, two hearts and one club.

ADVICE Woman thinks bride-to-be not worth cost Dear Abby: My best friend is getting married and asked me to be her maid of honor. She has also asked me to buy an expensive dress, host a lavish shower I’m afraid I can’t afford and plan a destination bachelorette party.

The cost will be exorbitant.

On top of this, she has asked me to be her “cover” when she lies to her fiance about where she is.

She has admitted to me that she has cheated on him, and I think she’s doing it again.

I know it’s not my place to question her or tell her what to do, but this has made me hesitant to commit financially to her wedding. Should I talk to her about this? – Dragging My Heels In New York Dear Dragging Your Heels: Do not question your friend or tell

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips her what to do, but DO convey to her that you can’t function as her maid of honor because you can’t afford the cost. And the next time she asks you to cover for her, tell her you no longer want to be a party to deceiving her fiance because you’re having trouble looking him in the eye.

Your best friend sounds like a piece of work, and if it costs you the friendship you won’t have lost much. This girl lacks both judgment and character, and you’ll be better off to distance yourself.

Dear Abby: I don’t know where to start so I will just plunge in: I

have five kids by five different men. I am not a terrible person.

I have a job, take care of my babies and am working toward a degree. But sometimes I feel like the ultimate loser. I get judged all the time. I’m so ashamed of the choices I have made in life. Will it ever be better? – 5 Kids, 5 Dads In Oregon Dear 5-5: You will see an improvement as soon as you stop beating yourself up over the choices you have made. No one can change the past. All we can do is learn from our mistakes and make a conscious decision not to repeat them. And as to those who judge you, they should judge not, lest they, too, be judged.

New knowledge, medications can ease ulcerative colitis Dear Doctor K: I’ve recently been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. What causes it, and how is it treated?

Dear Reader: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an inflammatory disease of the colon. (The colon is also called the large intestine.) UC can cause debilitating abdominal pain and diarrhea, and it substantially increases your risk of colon cancer.

Our large intestines contain trillions of bacteria. Normally, tissue lining the intestine prevents these bacteria from infecting the intestinal wall. But when the intestine’s lining fails, bacteria that usually are harmless can activate your immune system.

UC is an autoimmune disease.

In such diseases, the immune system – which is there to defend us against foreign invaders – instead attacks our own tissues. In the case of UC, the immune system mistakenly attacks the intestine, causing inflammation and injury.

Over time, UC wears away the lining of the rectum and colon; it leaves ulcers that may bleed or ooze mucus or pus. (I’ve put an illustration of how UC affects the colon on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

UC can cause abdominal cramping, bloody diarrhea and urgent bowel movements. You may be able to ease your symp-

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff toms by avoiding foods that trigger your symptoms. Common culprits include spicy foods and dairy products.

Medications can often control symptoms. Most patients begin with anti-inflammatory drugs that are related to aspirin. These drugs take time to work; you may need to take them for several weeks before you are symptom-free.

If these drugs don’t work, you may be prescribed more powerful anti-inflammatory drugs: corticosteroids. Unfortunately, they can have worrisome side effects, including increased risk of infection.

In the past decade, powerful new medicines called “biologics” have been developed. They often are successful when other treatments for UC have failed, but they can also have serious side effects.

When drugs don’t work or are too difficult to tolerate, your doctor may suggest surgery to remove the colon. Surgery is also an option if your risk of colon cancer is particularly high.

Some colon-removal surgeries leave you unable to defecate out of your rectum. Rather, bow-

el movements leave the body through an opening in the abdominal wall and into a collection bag.

Newer surgical techniques allow regular bowel movements.

Finally, anyone with UC should have regular colonoscopies to check for early signs of colon cancer.

For a century we’ve known that trillions of bacteria, of many different types, live in our guts all of our lives. We’ve known that some of them actually aid our health. We’ve also known of a few instances in which bacteria that normally live in our gut without causing problems can start to cause problems if they multiply too rapidly. An example is the infectious diarrhea caused by bacteria called C. difficile.

But in the past five years we’ve discovered that our “normal” gut bacteria may influence our health in ways we never imagined. There is increasing evidence that subtle imbalances between different types of normal gut bacteria may be important causes of many diseases, including UC. That could lead to fairly simple and effective treatments in the years ahead.

Mom curious about moral code of daughter’s friends Dr. Wallace: Our daughter has made some new friends at school. Some of them have been to our house and they seem to be OK kids, but I don’t know much about them.

When I start asking our daughter about any of her friends she becomes defensive and reminds me that she knows how to choose her friends and that she doesn’t need any interference from me.

Should I trust her to choose friends who have good moral character or should I do all I can to find out for myself?

I want to be a good mom and do everything possible to see that our daughter does not associate with girls who lack moral character because I am well aware of peer pressure. – Mom, St. Charles Dear Mom: Parents should not choose friends for their teens, but should know as much as possible about the friends their teens choose to hang around with. Indeed, peer pressure is a powerful force and can cause a teen to get “involved” because the teen wants to be part of a group, even if the group has members who could have negative influences.

At all times, be watching out for your daughter’s welfare and do, within reason, whatever it takes to keep her welfare secure.

The better you know your daughter’s friends, the better you can evaluate their character. Encourage her to bring friends

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace home from time to time or encourage her to host a party at your home.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and enjoy playing tennis, horseback riding and swimming.

I also play the piano and sing in our church choir.

I am not dating yet, but I have lots of friends both male and female. I like things just the way they are and I enjoy activities with my friends, and many of them do not date either.

My mom is always asking me when I am going to start dating boys, and when one of my friends is really cute, she always says, “Why don’t you go out with him? The two of you would make a cute couple.”

She is starting to make me think that she thinks there’s something wrong with me and it makes me feel uneasy.

Can you write about this in a column so my mom will understand that dating is not always the first thing you do when you turn “sweet sixteen”? – Nameless, Rock Island

Dear Nameless: There is nothing wrong with you just because you choose not to date yet. As you noted, your time will come. Teens should not be encouraged to date until they’re ready!

In Texas, the native art really rocks

By CHRISTINE DELL’AMORE Special To The Washington Post Even to a claustrophobe, the narrow cave between two giant boulders felt strangely inviting.

When I squirmed into the dim coolness on my belly and flipped over onto my back, I could see why: This was a sacred place. Two humanoid figures with red-checkered bodies and wide bug eyes stared down at me from the low ceiling. “I found the rain gods!” I shouted gleefully to my boyfriend and his parents, Allan and Diana, who were waiting outside the cave.

Soon we were lying on our backs admiring the ancient paintings of Tlaloc, a deity worshiped by the Jornada Mogollon, an agricultural people who lived in what’s now Hueco Tanks State Park and Historic Site between 200 and 1450 A.D. Suddenly, a frustrating afternoon of scouring outcroppings and ledges for rock art had taken a lucky turn, and we wondered about the identity of this prehistoric Michelangelo, as Allan called him, who’d left his mark here several centuries before.

The Jornada Mogollon were among the first cultures to master corn agriculture, allowing them to live year-round in pit houses amid this jumble of granitelike rocks and boulders in far West Texas.

Hueco Tanks formed about 32 million years ago, when magma beneath the surface seeped into overlying layers of rock.

Over millennia, the limestone on top eroded, revealing what the Spanish called huecos, or hollows – the bowl-like remnants of trapped gas and other unknown geological processes.

These round depressions can collect water – a rare commodity in the Chihuahuan Desert – for long periods of time.

The oasis has drawn people for about 10,000 years.

But I’d come here to satisfy a different thirst: As an artist myself, I was keen to see some of the park’s thousands of rock art pieces, whose subjects include animals such as jaguars and horses, geometric shapes, dancing figures and especially abstract faces painted on the rock that archaeologists call masks, a specialty of the Jornada Mogollon. The culture left behind about 200 painted masks, the largest collection known in North America.

But appreciating the 860-acre state park’s pictographs isn’t as easy as meandering through a museum. Due to its popularity with tourists and rock climbers, “Hueco Tanks was in fact ‘loved to death’ in the ’60s through the early ’90s,” said park superintendent Wanda Olszewski.

Photo for The Washington Post by Christine Dell’Amore

Brian Howard climbs over a boulder during the rock art tour in Hueco Tanks State Park & Historic Site near El Paso, Texas.

Much of the rock art in the state park, which opened in 1970, was damaged, and in 1998 the park instituted a new public-use plan that “dramatically improved the condition of the site and improved visitor awareness,” Olszewski said.

Today, only 70 people at a time can enter Hueco Tanks without a guide, and rock climbing is carefully regulated. Only North Mountain, one of the park’s three peaks, is open to self-guided exploration, but the hiking trails don’t show you exactly where to find the rock art.

So, on a clear spring morning after our rain god discovery, Brian, Diana, Allan and I showed up for a rock art tour, which for only $2 each would take us to see pictographs otherwise off-limits to the general public.

Our volunteer guide, Joe Barraza, a lifelong resident of nearby El Paso, has been coming to Hueco since the 1970s.

“Even if there was not any rock art here, this is a special place,” Barraza told our group.

As we started off down the path toward North Mountain, lizards darting underfoot, Barraza stopped to point out desert plants and some of their traditional uses: The spiky Mormon tea bush soothes asthma, brittlebush burns into a sweet incense, and the fernlike mesquite trees produce tasty beans. For native peoples, “Hueco Tanks [was] like a Super Wal-Mart – anything that you need to survive can be found here,” he said.

Our first stop was Lower Site 17, or, as the Native Americans call it, Shame Cave, because of the centuries of graf-

fiti that have all but covered up a large painting of various figures and animals created by Mescalero Apaches, mounted warriors who hunted and raided in these parts about 500 years ago. Barely visible beneath the etched initials and dates are a long white snake – a symbol of water – and a man on horseback, probably an Apache, which represents European contact, because the Spanish introduced horses to North America.

We entered Mescalero Canyon, where the shadows of circling turkey vultures moved across high rock walls and the descending, melancholy song of the canyon wren echoed overhead. Finally veering off the main trail, we began climbing up a pile of boulders – the porous rock offered great handholds – until we reached an exposed ledge overlooking a wind-whipped valley. Catching my breath, I was excited to see four red Jornada Mogollon masks decorating an even higher ledge; one had a solid red face framed by bangs, with almond white eyes, a teardrop nose, and what looked like earrings.

No two masks are the same, and though their specific meanings are unknown, archaeologists think that they’re probably depictions of ancestral spirits, similar to what modern-day Pueblo Native Americans call kachinas – representations of animate or inanimate objects, such as lightning, buffalo or corn.

I studied the art for a long time, soaking up the spiritual vibe, thinking that I’d gladly be stuck between this rock and hard place any day.
