MINOOKA – Police are looking for a Joliet man they say stabbed a co-worker Friday at a warehouse.

An arrest warrant charging Marshall L. Brown, of the 200 block of North Broadway, with aggravated battery was issued Saturday morning, according to Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer. The war-

rant carries a $250,000 bond.

At about 4:15 p.m. Friday, Brown and a 31-yearold Country Marshall Club Hills man L. Brown were working Joliet inside a freezer unit at World Class Distribution, 1510 Cargo Court, when they began arguing, Meyer said.

“The disagreement escalated and Brown allegedly stabbed his co-worker and fled,” Meyer said. Brown drove away from the scene.

Anyone with information on Brown’s whereabouts is asked to call police at 815467-2161 or anonymously call Grundy County CrimeStoppers at 815-942-9667.

The victim was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet after being

Let’s find a way to honor these men VIEWS Kate Schott Sometimes, an idea gets in my head and I just can’t let it go.

This time, though, it’s for what I believe to be a morethan-worthy cause.

In this space on May 25, I wrote about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Foundation project, “Faces Never Forgotten,” which is seeking help locating missing photos of Vietnam veterans from Illinois. The photos will help complete an electronic “Wall of Faces” in the new education center at the Vietnam Memorial Wall.

You can search the database by going to www. vvmf.org/Wall-of-Faces/ and then clicking on “Advanced Search” to the right of the search box. You can then input a city or county.

In May, there were 34 people from Will County without a photo, and five from Grundy County without one. As of Friday, it was 30 in Will County and four in Grundy County still without a photo.

How great would it be if this community could find pictures for all of our local men to go on this wall? I would love to talk with any with local veterans groups, historians or whoever is interested about how we can find photos of these men and help give them just a small part of the honor they deserve.

HONOR ROLLS Starting Tuesday and running through Thursday, we will be printing honor rolls from local schools that submitted them to our publication.

We know how proud families are of the academic honors of their children, and we’re happy to be able to share these achievements with the larger community.

Given how many students there are who achieved this honor we’re going to have to break them up over several days. We intend to refer, from the front cover, each day to the pages where you can find the honor rolls that day.

The schedule of what will run and when is as follows: • Tuesday: Joliet Catholic Academy, Richland School District and Lincoln-Way Central, Lincoln-Way West and Providence Catholic high schools.

• Wednesday: Joliet District 86, Joliet West and Joliet Central high schools, St. Paul the Apostle, St. Mary Nativity, Cathedral of St. Raymond and Holy Family.

Reinstated program aims to make residents comfortable around cops

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Hundreds of people drive or walk past a certain garage on Hickory Street each day.

But since it’s at the rear of an apartment building and separated from the next block by a wall, it probably isn’t noticed much and rarely has anyone looked behind it.

But police Officer Eric Bernhard got out of his squad car Wednesday afternoon and walked back to check on an old TV set and some other large items that had been left there as trash.

“I’ve told [the city’s] neighborhood services about it.

Somebody dumped this here because they don’t think we’re keeping an eye on it, but we are,” said Bernhard with the Neighborhood-Oriented Policing Team.

The NOPT, which started under a federal grant in the early 1990s, had 25 officers in 2008, but was shut down because of budget cuts four years later. When the officers were assigned to regular patrols, public outcry forced the city to reinstate the program.

This week marks a year since the 11 officers, sergeant and lieutenant returned to the beat.

Lt. Robert Desiderio said having a specific cop assigned to a specific neighborhood gives them a chance to get to know each other, which benefits the department and residents.

NOPT officers attend neighborhood meetings.

They’re able to tell tactical and drug officers who they might find at a particular residence and they see which families would benefit the most from the department’s annual Santa’s Cops program, Desiderio said.

“The patrol officer may be a different face every day, but the neighbors get to know the NOPT officer,” Desiderio

Officer Eric Bernhard of the Neighborhood-Oriented Policing Team helps Maria Janovsky, a landlord, with some paperwork July 9 in Joliet.

“The patrol officer may be a different face every day, but the neighbors get to know the NOPT officer.”

Lt. Robert Desiderio Joliet police department

said. “We can be proactive in a neighborhood because when it’s just patrol going back to the same house time and time again, honestly nothing gets done.”

But NOPT officers work with the legal and neighborhood services departments on the nuisance abatement program. Regular police calls to rental properties require

landlords attend training, do background checks and other monitoring.

And landlords ask NOPT officers to make sure people causing problems are banned from the property under city ordinance.

“It’s great to have that support. It’s made things a lot better,” said Maria Janovsky, who called Bernhard last week to discuss an issue with a tenant.

“Whenever we’ve got a question, we call and they get right back to us. I definitely think it was a good decision to bring them back,” Janovsky said.

After meeting with the landlord Wednesday afternoon, Bernhard went to his “Broadway” zone, which includes Bicentennial Park, Ev-

ergreen Terrace, Broadway and Hickory streets.

“I’ll drive through the problem areas first, just to see where everybody’s out. Then we stop and get out to move around. People are so much more comfortable coming up when you’re not in a squad car,” Bernhard said.

On Wednesday, Bernhard went on a brief foot patrol, although he prefers riding his bicycle.

“Everyone will come up to you when you’re on a bike and you can sneak up on anyone better on a bike. You can go places cars can’t and it’s better than walking because you’re moving faster when you come up,” Bernhard said.

Bernhard didn’t find any trespassers or new litter in a spot near the river frequently

used as a campsite by homeless people. He returned to driving the squad car and exchanged waves with a young girl riding by on her bicycle and some seniors sitting outside their apartments.

Bernhard was in the next block when Krista Byes called to report locking her keys inside her car. He spent more time introducing himself to Byes and her daughter than the 45 seconds it took to unlock the door. But his next encounter was with another neighborhood resident he already knew.

“No gambling in the park today,” he shouted at a man who’s previously been arrested in Bicentennial Park.

“He knows I’ll be coming through to keep an eye on him,” Bernhard said.

Months to live, days to leave Will County Center for Community Concerns helps family dealing with terminal illness, eviction in Joliet

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Over the last three months, Darcie Seeden’s world has fallen apart.

The trouble started April 4 when her husband, William Gervasio, woke up coughing.

“He thought he was just getting sick with the flu,” Seeden said, but the coughing got worse, and eventually he began spitting up blood.

A trip to the hospital for an antibiotic led to a CAT scan, where doctors discovered nine tumors, including ones in his heart, lungs and liver.

Tests proved the tumors were malignant. Gervasio was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma, the same cancer he was successfully treated for in 2011 after doctors discovered a tumor in his back.

This time, however, the prognosis was grim. Doctors

gave him three months to live.

Since then Gervasio, 43, has spent his time at University of Illinois Hospital in Chicago, where he receives chemotherapy for a week at a time, before returning home to Joliet for two weeks rest.

And while the chemo has shrunk some of tumors to half their original size, Gervasio, a laborer by trade, is now bedridden and unable to work.

“It’s not like he doesn’t want to work. He can’t,” Seeden said. “I’d work in a heartbeat, but I have to take care of him and the kids.”

Seeden spends her days at his bedside and with the couple’s two young children, Giavanna, who is almost 2, and Nekko, who is almost 1.

But with little income coming in and the bills mounting,

Shorewood shows its support ‘High Five Tour’ Mustang makes local stop to collect for Wounded Warriors project

Darcie Seeden holds her children, Nekko (left) and Giavanna. Seeden, whose husband has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, was about to be evicted from her Joliet home over unpaid rent when the Will County Center for Community Concerns stepped in to help her.

SHOREWOOD – While hundreds of people have signed the red, white and blue 2014 Mustang to show support for wounded veterans, Saturday’s stop at Ron Tirapelli Ford showed why.

The car is being driven to 65 cities across the country this summer before being auctioned off. Proceeds from the auction and donations collected on the “High Five Tour” will be used to build “smart homes” for two injured veterans – Marine Staff Sgt. Jason Ross of Livermore, California, and Air Force Capt. Anthony Simone of Joliet.

“We wanted to come out and give our support [anyway], but it’s so nice a recipient is from Joliet,” said Karen Pastell of Shorewood. She and her husband, Paul, an

“The support that I’ve seen means a lot to me.”

Capt. Anthony Simone U.S. Air Force Air Force veteran, used metallic silver markers to write a short message on the Mustang.

“We try to keep everyone signing where they can be seen,” said Ken Foley, who drove the vehicle from Lima, Ohio. “But there are a few names in the wheel wells and under the spoiler.”

The houses that will be built are designed to provide Ross and Simone with easier mobility and safety around the home. Locally based Window World has committed to donating all the windows for Simone’s house.

Simone, who is originally

from Jonestown, Pennsylvania, joined the Air Force in 2005. He was deployed to Iraq twice before going to Afghanistan in 2010.

Simone was shot down while he was attempting to land to rescue an injured solider. Simone and one other soldier survived while five other people in the helicopter were killed.

Simone suffered head trauma and burns and was in a coma for six weeks. He has undergone several surgeries and physical and speech therapy.

On Saturday, the Purple Heart recipient came to the dealership with his in-laws and his son Will, 4, and daughter, Avery, 1.

“The support that I’ve seen means a lot to me,” Simone said. “I feel a little like a celebrity. I heard my name pronounced correctly on the radio.”

lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – For the first time in seven years, the state paid schools on time.

But school officials don’t anticipate that trend to continue.

“This is a good thing, but we’re still holding our breath,” said Tom Hernandez, spokesman for Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202.

As of July 1, the state is caught up on its payments to schools for specialized programs and grants – including special education and transportation. The state has typically tossed such mandated categorical grants to the wayside with the rest of the state’s unpaid bills, leaving schools waiting – typically months at a time – for the funding to show.

Timely payments are always welcomed, Hernandez said, but he and other state officials are well aware this likely isn’t a permanent trend.

State funding has been unreliable for the past several years, Hernandez said.

Will County Regional Superintendent Shawn Walsh echoed those sentiments Friday, saying schools have learned to expect late payments from the state.

“Any time the state can pay on time is fantastic, but school districts are used to budgeting based on what they’ve historically dealt with the last couple of the years,” Walsh said.

In a letter to superintendents statewide July 1, State Superintendent Chris Koch welcomed the good news but warned officials not to count on the same thing happening next year.

These timely payments are “the result of several unique circumstances” and that districts “should not expect to receive all payments on time next year,” Koch said in the letter.

Unlike mandated categor-

icals, general state aid payments have typically been paid on time, but funding set at a prorated 89 percent, Hernandez said.

Repeated budget reductions are more worrisome than late payments, he said, with Plainfield school district – the fourth largest in the state – relying heavily on state funding.

“Every one percentage point the state changes in [general state aid] is a $1 million loss for us,” he said.

Plainfield slashed $42 million from its budget between fiscal 2009 and 2012 to make up for the loss in state aid over the years, he said.

During a four-year time period, district officials were forced to cut more than 340 full-time teaching, staff and administrative positions and moved to a three-tier bus system to offset reductions, he said. The change in its busing systems led to longer, more complicated routes and upset parents, he said, but the district is better off now because of it.

“I don’t see us having to make any significant cuts this year because of all of the work we did in the years prior,” he said.

In that same time period, Illinois schools faced $320 million in general state aid and about $133 million in transportation funding, according to the state board of education’s website.

Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, said reducing GSA funding levels below that 89 percent would be “harmful” to schools in his district, which includes communities such as Bolingbrook, Channahon, Joliet, Lockport, Manhattan and Romeoville.

“Were we to fall below 89 percent, the impact on school districts would be harmful.

Superintendents have told me that if the proration falls again, teachers could laid off and class sizes could increase,” McGuire said.

PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Village Board could see its first application for a medical marijuana-oriented business license on its agenda as soon as late July.

After the board voted 5-1 Monday to approve an amendment to the zoning code to regulate medical marijuana cultivation centers and dispensaries, interested groups can apply for special-use permits to operate in the village.

One Plainfield-based group, Mother Earth Holistic Health, has been discussing with village staff the possibility of opening both a cultivation center and dispensary in Plainfield.

The cultivation center would start under the company Green Point Botanicals, and the dispensary would be named Patient’s Health Center.

Before the organization applies for special-use permits, President Maryann Loncar said she is waiting for the Illinois Joint Committee on Administrative Rules, which is set to meet July 15, to come up with a final list of rules governing the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program.

After that, the organization hopes to have applications ready for village review by the next board meeting so they can be sent to state agencies as soon as possible.

Cultivation centers must be at least 2,500 feet from the property line of any existing school, day care center, group home or residentially zoned property.

Dispensaries must be at least 1,000 feet from the property of any existing school, day care center or group home. It also will be prohibited in residential zoning districts and as a home-based business.

Only 22 cultivation centers and 60 dispensaries would be allowed in the state.

Village Planner Michael Garrigan said, based on the restrictions, he doesn’t believe any industrial zone incorporated in the village could house a cultivation center.

“An applicant would need to annex land into the village for that to happen,” Garrigan said, adding there could be sites for a dispensary in some areas for the village, including the light industrial areas along 143rd Street. “But no one has a hard location.”

All of the village trustees except for Trustee Garrett Peck voted in favor of the zoning changes.

“It’s still illegal,” Peck said.

But other trustees said the change would not guarantee medical marijuana facilities would pop up in Plainfield.

“This isn’t a blanket approval,” Trustee Dan Rippy said, explaining there isn’t much control the state law left for municipalities. “Again, I want to be very clear we are very limited in what we can do.”

City council to sign $40.5M sewer project

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The City of Joliet plans to seek a $40.5 million low-interest loan through the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency’s Water Pollution Control Program.

The loan will include: • $20.5 million for a combined sewer overflow tunnel that would transport sewage and storm water under the Des Plaines River to the East Side Waste Water Treatment Plant.

• $8.6 million for sanitary sewer improvements along U.S. Route 6.

• $11.4 million for a new pump station and screens at the East Side Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The tunnel under the riv-

er will be 8 to 10 feet in diameter. It will replace a 36-inch pipe that has a capacity of 8 million gallons a day, according to Jim Eggen, the city’s public utilities director.

During wet weather, up to 85 million gallons of combined sanitary sewer and storm water get pushed into the system.

What the pipe can’t handle ends up being discharged into the river, an EPA violation.

The project is the second phase of several system improvements planned over the next decade. It will not result in an increase in residential sewer rates, according to City Manager Jim Hock.

The city council is scheduled to sign off on the loan application at its Tuesday session.

New alderman takes oath

By MARY BASKERVILLE Shaw Media Correspondent WILMINGTON – Steve Evans was sworn in last week as the City of Wilmington’s new 4th Ward alderman.

Evans was sworn in July 8 during a city council meeting, with his mother Helen Hoppe holding the Bible.

Evans was appointed by Mayor Marty Orr to fill the post vacated when Hoppe stepped down for health reasons. The appointment will run through the spring 2015 elections. The council unanimously supported the appointment.

Hoppe had served since 2005. During the meeting, she was presented with a certificate honoring her outstanding performance as 4th Ward Alderman.

“I’d like to be able to stay ... but I can’t. It doesn’t mean that I won’t be in about a year or two,” she said.

Orr said several people expressed interest in the post.

He said he choose to appoint Evans because “the one thing that really stands out with Steve, in my discussions, is the passion he has for the community.

“As everybody says, ‘The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree,’ and as passionate as Helen was with her job, I’m sure Steve’s going to try to fill those shoes for his mom.”

Evans, 55, grew up in Wilmington and said his goal will be to work for the people. He served as a Florence Township trustee for seven years, but now lives in the city’s fourth ward. He owns Evans Lawn & Garden.

The new RidgePort Logistics Center at Interstate 55 and Lorenzo Road and the construction of the proposed Illiana Expressway are two projects that will impact Wilmington, Evans said.

Residents can learn more about the Illiana Expressways plans at an open meeting from 5 to 7 p.m. July 16 at City Hall.

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com A new annual licensing fee to fund a system for reporting medical errors received support from hospitals in Joliet and Morris.

Last week, Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation for an annual licensing fee for Illinois hospitals that takes effect this month. The fee will fund a system established by state law in 2005 for reporting medical errors. Hospitals in the state had been the only licensed health care organizations to not pay the fee.

The fee will raise about $1.7 million annually, with the state collecting $55 a hospital bed to fund a system for hospitals to report mistakes such as surgeries that are

performed on the wrong body part. The idea is to improve patient safety by analyzing how errors occur.

Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet was supportive of the fee.

Presence spokeswoman Tabrina Davis wrote in an email the legislation will allow the state to fund and implement a wide range of safety and quality improvement initiatives that will help patients receive high quality care.

“Creating a mechanism that funded safety and quality initiatives is critical at a time of significant changes in the healthcare industry,” she wrote.

Morris Hospital and Healthcare Centers was also supportive. Janet Long, the hospital’s public relations

manager, said the licensing fee has the hospital’s fullest support because it improves quality and safety.

“It’s reasonable and it’s a good initiative that looks like it will have an opportunity for learning on always making health care quality and safety even better,” she said.

Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox declined to comment.

Portions of the funds will go toward new safety measures and addressing patient complaints. Small rural hospitals are exempt from the fees, as well as safety-net hospitals that treat mostly poor patients.

With only 17 hospital inspectors for the whole state, the Illinois Department of Public Health had pushed for

shifting the emphasis toward funding an error reporting system mandated by the 2005 state law.

Man arrested again on child porn charges

Marijuana found in Naperville man’s car

NEW LENOX – Police say a 32-year-old man has been arrested for distributing child pornography online for the second time in two years.

Daniel M. Cameron, was arrested Friday and charged with three counts of distributing child pornography, Daniel M. Deputy Police Cameron Chief Robert Pawlisz said in a statement. Will County jail records show Cameron is being held on $600,000 bond.

Pawlisz said Cameron came under investigation by the Will County State’s Attorney High Technology Computer Crimes Unit. He was arrested when police searched his home in the 1600 block of Briarcrest Drive.

New Lenox police arrested Cameron on five counts of producing child pornography in April 2013. He spent eight months in jail before being sentenced to three years in prison as part of a plea deal. According to court records, Cameron had been released on $100,000 bond while asking the judge to reconsider the sentence.

BOLINGBROOK – Police say a Naperville man had 34 grams of marijuana in his car when he was pulled over last week.

Lt. Mike Rompa said officers stopped a tan 1992 Buick Park Avenue at about 4 p.m. on July 1 when the driver disobeyed the stop sign at Fernwood Drive and Lily Cache Lane.

Rompa said police could smell the strong odor of marijuana when they went to approach the driver, who was allegedly unable to produce a driver’s license or proof of insurance.

The man later identified as Franklin A. Morris, 27, then gave a phony name, Rompa said.

Police learned Morris had warrants out in Will and DuPage counties and found a package of marijuana and an electronic scale inside the Buick, Rompa said.

Morris, of the 200 block of East Bailey Road, was arrested and booked into the Will County jail on charges of delivery of marijuana, marijuana possession, driving with a suspended license and driving without insurance. He was released after posting $33,000 bond.

PLAINFIELD – Police say separate groups of teenagers are responsible for four fires in the last three weeks.

The most recent incidents occurred Thursday night when a garbage can was set on fire at the Village Green, according to Chief John Konopek.

“There were four 16-year-olds, one of whom had some matches and was throwing them into

the garbage can. They said they saw some smoke, but left before seeing any fire,” Konopek said. “They then walked over to Plainfield Central High School and threw some matches in a garbage dumpster.”

Konopek said officers caught up to the juveniles involved.

There have also been two other recent incidents where teens started dumpsters and playground equipment on fire then posted photos and videos onto social media websites, according to Konopek.

Complete police reports on the fires were unavailable Saturday when Konopek was contacted by The Herald-News.

“I think there are around a dozen suspects, all juveniles.

One group didn’t know the other groups, but saw the video online and did the same thing,” Konopek said.

Konopek asked parents to monitor their children’s online activity and utilize parental controls. Police also asked parents to remind children of the dangers and repercussions of playing with fire.

Last original Ramones member, Tommy, dies

By DAVID BAUDER The Associated Press NEW YORK – The Ramones always seemed too fast.

Their songs rushed by, often two minutes or less of pure adrenaline. Their influence outstripped their sales. And now, with the death of drummer Tommy, all four original members of the seminal punk rock band are gone.

Tommy Ramone, born Erdelyi Tamas in Budapest, Hungary, died Friday at age 65, said Dave Frey, who works for Ramones Productions and Silent Partner Management.

Frey had no further details.

Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee and Tommy Ramone, taking their surname from an alias Paul McCartney used to check into hotels, formed in Queens, New York, in 1974. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members were among the leaders of the original punk rock movement with songs like “I Wanna Be Sedated,” “Blitzkrieg Bop” and “Rockaway Beach.”

Wearing ripped jeans,

black leather and bad haircuts, the Ramones stripped rock down to its essentials: two guitars, drums, a singer and no solos. Their 1976 debut album had 14 songs in less than 30 minutes, with “Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue” and “Beat on the Brat” reflecting their twisted teen years.

Their taste also reflected a love for early 1960s rock, before it became “progressive.”

The Ramones never had a Top 40 hit, although not for lack of trying. They brought in the eccentric Phil Spector to produce an album. After seeing the Ramones in Asbury Park, New Jersey, Bruce Springsteen wrote “Hungry Heart” for them – then kept it for himself when his manager smelled a hit.

“This is art,” Tommy wrote in the liner notes for a Ramones compilation. “Sometimes it doesn’t sell at first.

Sometimes it takes a while for the world to catch on.”

Bands like Nirvana, Blink-182 and Green Day – who inducted the Ramones

into the rock hall – came later and did sell, with sounds unimaginable without the Ramones’ influence.

Tommy Ramone was the last to see it all. Singer Joey died first, of cancer, at age 49 in 2001. Bass player Dee Dee was killed by a drug overdose the next year at age 50, three months after the band’s rock hall induction. Guitarist Johnny, then 55, died of cancer in 2004.

Tommy was the band’s original manager and helped produce some of their earlier albums. He was a guitar player in a band with Johnny that predated the Ramones, but went behind the drums when they couldn’t find anyone else to keep up. He got out early, leaving the stage in 1978, although he produced the Ramones’ 1980s album “Too Tough to Die.” He stayed active as a producer, working with the Replacements, among other bands. He played mandolin, banjo and guitar for a bluegrass band in his later years.

Jazz bass innovator Charlie Haden dies at 76

By CHARLES J. GANS The Associated Press NEW YORK – Bassist Charlie Haden, who helped change the shape of jazz more than a half-century ago as a member of Ornette Coleman’s groundbreaking quartet and liberated the bass from its traditional rhythm section role, has died. He was 76.

Haden’s wife of 30 years, singer Ruth Cameron, and his four children were by his side when he died Friday in Los Angeles after a prolonged illness, said publicist Tina Pelikan of ECM Records.

Haden’s career was marked by the triumph of beauty over suffering. He

turned to the bass after losing his singing voice to polio as a teenager when he was performing with the Haden Family country band.

The onset of post-polio syndrome in late 2010 forced him to stop performing publicly, though he played at home to his favorite recordings as well as with visiting musician friends such as guitarist Pat Metheny and pianist Alan Broadbent.

During his career, Haden’s lyrical bass playing could be heard in a broad range of musical genres, ranging from jazz to country to world music.

“I want to take people away from the ugliness and sadness around us every day

and bring beautiful, deep music to as many people as I can,” Haden said in a 2013 interview with The Associated Press shortly before receiving a Lifetime Achievement Grammy Award.

At the time, the Recording Academy cited Haden as “an all-American jazz musician best known for his signature lyrical bass lines and his ability to liberate the bassist from an accompanying role.”

The Grammy recognition – as well as being named a Jazz Master in 2012 by the National Endowment for the Arts – was a far cry from the reception Haden received in the late 1950s as a member of Coleman’s revolutionary quartet.

LOCAL BRIEFS Man presumed drowned in Kankakee River WILMINGTON – A man is presumed drowned after currents pulled him under the Kankakee River Friday night.

Deputy Fire Chief Todd Friddle said the 33-year-old man was fishing with three other people at 11:15 p.m. in the water off South Island Park.

“They were wading in the water when the back current of the dam pulled him under.

The other three were able to get out, but he has not been found,” Friddle said Saturday afternoon.

Dive teams were called to the scene and a search of the river was conducted Saturday from the dam to the Des Plaines Conservation Area. The search was suspended Saturday evening and is expected to resume during daylight hours Sunday and, if necessary, Monday, according to Friddle.

Another man, Dean Fredericks, 20, of Morris, drowned June 3 in the Kankakee River, when his canoe overturned near the Des Plaines Conservation Area.

Ill. crop damage from floods still unclear

By JIM SUHR and JIM SALTER The Associated Press ST. LOUIS – As the rain-swollen Mississippi River carried on its plodding retreat Friday, western Illinois farmer Joe Zumwalt wasn’t complaining about the flooding that wound up swamping 100 or 200 of his 3,500 river-bottom acres of corn and soybeans.

Zumwalt lost all of it just a few years ago in 2008, when two of the region’s levees couldn’t hold back the engorged river, ultimately submerging tens of thousands of acres of farmland.

“I think what’s happened this year is proof that the levees work,” said Zumwalt, 36.

“If you stand on the top of the levee and look at the amount of water being held back and the potential devastation that could have occurred, you have to feel pretty good.”

The economic toll of Midwest flooding – typical of this

time of year – only now is trickling in.

While officials say it’s too early to estimate the flood’s financial cost, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Farm Service Agency says at least 383,000 acres of crops have been destroyed and 2 million damaged in Iowa and Illinois alone due to excessive rain, flash flooding, and flooding on the Mississippi River and its tributaries.

Crop damage in Missouri has not yet been reported to the USDA, Farm Service Agency spokeswoman Isabel Benemelis said.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency still is getting preliminary damage assessments from pounding upper Midwest storms that led to the flood, and from the flooding itself, spokeswoman Amanda Bicknell said.

“This is really a moving target,” she said.

Buyouts of flood-prone property since the benchmark flood of 1993 – and newer, bigger levees – have limited damage this time around, even though this flood ranked among the 10 highest ever in several locations. Still, the flood has damaged roads and infrastructure, along with scattered homes and businesses.

The flood came at a bad time for farmers, with corn having been flourishing in the nation’s midsection and soybean plants still maturing.

Around his fields near Illinois’ Warsaw, Zumwalt had cause for jubilance: Crops on just 100 to 200 acres got ruined in the past week or two by Mississippi River water that weaseled its way under the levees. But the levees held, said the Hancock County Farm Bureau’s president, and that’s all that mattered.

“We’re not talking about huge amounts of crop loss,” he

said. “By and large, the crops in our area look very good.”

While retreating Friday in most places, the Mississippi still was 8 feet above flood stage in Grafton, Illinois, a town without a levee about 40 miles north of St. Louis. The river level there was expected to start dropping. Despite its lack of protection, damage there was minimal.

Both bridges closed by the flood have reopened. Traffic resumed Thursday afternoon at the Quincy Memorial Bridge.

The Champ Clark Bridge at Louisiana, Missouri, was also open, but with one lane only, said Paris Ervin, spokeswoman for the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Impact of the Quincy bridge closing was minor because the town has two bridges. When the Louisiana bridge closed on Sunday, drivers on U.S. 54 had to go 35 miles north to Hannibal, Missouri, to cross the river.

Center was able to help Seeden and her family • EVICTION Continued from page 4 the family’s situation has become untenable.

In early June the couple, who were in Chicago for chemotherapy, missed a court hearing over their rent, on which they had fallen two months behind. Seeden received an eviction notice from the Will County Sheriff’s Department. A shutoff notice from ComEd soon followed, as did another from the Joliet Water Department.

“My husband worked his entire life and in two months they just want to kick us out in the street,” Seeden said, sobbing as she clutched her two young children. “It’s not like we’re bums. Things just got really bad. My husband got sick. But when you really need help, there is nothing there.

We have nowhere to go.”

Fortunately, Seeden was able to get help at the eleventh hour from the Will County Center for Community Concerns, which provides emergency rental assistance, as well as other services for low- and moderate-income individuals.

“It does appear that they’ll be able to stay in their house, at least for a while,” said Kris White, the center’s executive director. White said the center was able to negotiate an agreement with Seeden’s landlord, though the pact has yet to be finalized.

From an economic perspective, Seeden’s situation is not that uncommon, White noted.

“Many of us are just a few paychecks away from those circumstances,” White said.

“So many people that we see are those who were once working, had stable jobs, a stable income and a place to live. ...

“They often don’t want to ask for help. Or, in cases where a family member is sick, they are so wrapped up into getting them well that everything else is put on the back burner.”

Kris White Will County Center for Community Concerns executive director

Many times it’s because of a medical problem that people are having housing issues.”

People facing eviction or foreclosure often don’t realize that there are places they can turn to for help, White said.

For others, there’s a stigma attached to seeking assistance.

“They often don’t want to ask for help,” White said.

“Or, in cases where a family member is sick, they are so wrapped up into getting them well that everything else is put on the back burner.”

In eviction cases, the center will call the landlord and see if it can work out a way for the individual to keep their apartment, White said.

“Many times there is no way, so we start calling other landlords and find them another apartment,” she said.

The center has programs to help with down payments and rents, as well as utility payments.

Still, Seeden’s problems are far from over.

The income Gervasio receives for disability was recently halved, according to Paul Seeden, Darcie’s father.

“They are in dire straits right now,” he said.

Illinois Treasurer’s interns had political connections

CHICAGO – Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford’s office has offered paid internships to multiple young people with connections to influential politicians, campaign donors and lobbyists, according to a published report.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported Saturday that Rutherford’s office kept a list of internship applicants and the name of the person who referred them. But a spokeswoman for Rutherford said clout played no role in who got the internships.

The office sends letters each year to Chicago aldermen and members of the Illinois Legislature, asking them to refer applicants. Among those who did so were House Speaker Michael Madigan and U.S. Rep. Bobby Rush, both Democrats, as well as Republican lawmakers.

Rutherford himself recommended a 16-year-old member of the wealthy Pritzker family for a college internship. That person – who turned 17 during the 2011 internship and was paid a total of $1,892 – was hired one year after a relative donated $50,000 to Rutherford’s campaign fund.

The same family member gave $4,000 to Rutherford’s campaign fund this year.

Rutherford Spokeswoman Mary Frances Bragiel said the Pritzker family’s campaign contribution and the internship were absolutely not connected. She also said the intern worked for only six weeks. The office also denied the list of referrals was a “clout list.”

New law to help Illinois students with dyslexia

CHICAGO – A new Illinois law aims to help dyslexic students by training educators on how

Gerald Alban, 22, reacts after diving into the cold water at the lake front Friday in Chicago. Unseasonably cool temperatures will arrive next week in the Midwest and as far south as Arkansas and Oklahoma. Chicago would normally see highs in the 80s and lows in the mid-60s, but the weather service says highs early next week will be in the mid-60s and lows could dip into the upper 40s.

to better identify and teach young people with the learning disability.

The measure signed into law by Gov. Pat Quinn on Saturday entitles dyslexic students to special education services. It also creates a reading advisory group that will operate for one year. The group will create recommendations for school districts on recognizing and instructing dyslexic students.

“Dyslexic students can quickly fall behind because teachers cannot identify their disability or do not have learning materials adapted to their needs,” said state Sen. Melinda Bush, a Grayslake Democrat. “It is important that we implement the same level of awareness and services for this group of learning disabled students as we do for all other groups.”

Bush co-sponsored the bill with Rep. JoAnn Osmond, a Republican from Antioch. The Illinois House and Senate unanimously ap-

proved the measure this spring.

U of Illinois speeding up search for new president

URBANA – University of Illinois officials are speeding up the search for a new president, saying they now hope to select someone before Thanksgiving.

The presidential search committee wants President Robert Easter’s successor in place in time to hire a new chancellor for the university’s Chicago campus, the News-Gazette in Champaign reported.

Easter, who has been president since 2012, is set to retire in June of next year. University officials originally said they wanted to select his replacement by the end of this year so the new president would have time to transition into the post before Easter leaves.

But University of Illinois-Chicago Chancellor Paula Meares’ decision to step down in January is

accelerating the search, said university Trustee Pam Strobel, who is a co-chairman of the search committee. She said trustees decided the president’s search should be “on a parallel path so we can have the president pick the chancellor.”

Taste of Chicago canceled for day due to storms

CHICAGO – Authorities have canceled the entire day of events at the Taste of Chicago festival because of heavy rain and flooding on the festival grounds.

The city’s Office of Emergency Management announced the closure around noon Saturday as forecasters warned of more storms for the afternoon.

The annual food and cultural festival is one of the city’s premier summer events, drawing thousands of visitors to Grant Park. It began Wednesday and runs through Sunday.

The Taste Facebook page states that all tickets purchased online would be refunded automatically.

UIC notifies ex-students of information breach

CHICAGO – Officials have notified former students of the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Business Administration that personal information – including Social Security numbers – were found on a publicly accessible website from 2002.

School authorities said two documents were available – a class roster from a Special Topics in Accounting course and the advising list for all junior and senior accounting majors, both from spring 2002.

Staff members removed the files from the website and officials said the campus has received no reports of improper use.

Illinois towns see jobs ahead from medical marijuana

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – The prospect of adding jobs – even as few as 30 – has led officials in many shrinking Illinois’ communities to set aside any qualms about the state’s legalization of medical marijuana and to get friendly with would-be growers.

The aspiring growers and their agents have been racing from town to town, shaking hands with civic leaders and promising to bring jobs and tax revenue if they’re able to snag one of the 21 cultivation permits the state will grant this fall. Although not a single plant has sprouted, Illinois’ new medical marijuana industry is pushing the boundaries of what is considered attractive economic development.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve had a company say, ‘Hey, we want to bring in 50 jobs and we want to bring in tax revenue to your school,’” said Liz Skinner, the mayor of Delavan, a central Illinois city of 1,700 residents. The city has annexed property optioned by Joliet-based ICC Holdings as a possible site for a marijuana cultivation center, and Skinner said a new tax increment financing district may be the next step.

Stephen Osborne, an attorney who represents a group vying for one of the growing permits, has been driving from town to town in southern Illinois and introducing himself to local officials. Mostly, he’s been welcomed warmly: “It’s a ‘What took you so long to get here’ type of response,” he said.

“Once you mention 30 or more jobs in a small community, they’ll listen to what you have to say.”

A majority of Americans – 54 percent – favor making marijuana legal at least for medicinal use, according to a Pew Research Center poll of 1,821 adults conducted in February.

The survey had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.6 percentage points. New York recently became the 23rd state to make

medical marijuana legal. Six months before the Illinois law was enacted, a poll by the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University found that 63 percent of Illinoisans favored making medical use of marijuana legal.

In Illinois, city councils from Crystal Lake to Peru to Marion are considering marijuana zoning ordinances and special use permits, though the state is not tracking precisely how many. Permit seekers have simply moved on from the few communities that have voted down such proposals.

The process for building local support “starts with a conversation over the phone,” explained Michael Mayes, CEO of Chicago-based Quantum 9 Inc., a cannabis consulting company that has helped win permits for marijuana producers in four other states. He said the ultimate goal would be to get a letter of recommendation from a mayor that can be submitted to the state.

Aspiring marijuana producers expect Illinois to launch a 30-day application period soon and are rushing to get their paperwork in order. To win a cultivation center permit, they’ll be required to show their plans comply with local zoning rules.

Bonus points toward a winning bid can be had by submitting plans to “give back to the local community,” according to draft rules under legislative review. In Delavan, Mayor Skinner said there has been talk of a cultivation center-supported gift for a drug task force, but no hard promises.

It’s still unclear how many groups will compete for permits and whether applications will emerge in all regions of the state.

“What I say to others who are sniffing around, if you’ve not secured property, local support and a special use permit, give up now because you don’t have a shot,” said Tim McGraw of ICC Holdings, which plans to use the name American Cannabis Enterprises if it wins permits.

NATION&WORLD BRIEFS Afghan rivals clinch deal, easing political crisis

Districts debate merits of master’s for teachers

KABUL, Afghanistan – Afghanistan’s two rival candidates reached a breakthrough agreement Saturday to a complete audit of their contested presidential election and, whoever the victor, a national unity government.

The deal, brokered by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, offers a path out of what threatened to be a debilitating political crisis for Afghanistan, with both candidates claiming victory and talking of setting up competing governments.

DALLAS – Efforts to eliminate extra pay for teachers who earn advanced degrees are gaining momentum in a small but growing number of U.S. schools, stirring a national debate about how best to compensate quality educators and angering teachers who say the extra training is valuable.

More than half of the nation’s teachers have master’s degrees or higher, but the changing salary structure is giving pause to others considering the same path.

Texas’ two largest school districts, in Houston and Dallas, recently eliminated advanced degree pay going forward, following the example of North Carolina, where lawmakers last year started phasing it out.

A few other states have made tweaks to reduce how much advanced degrees factor into pay.

“They’re trying to say there’s no value at all for a teacher going back to increase their knowledge,” said Rena Honea, president of Alliance-AFT, which represents Dallas Independent School District employees.

“Just by having the additional knowledge in their content area gives them more tools in their toolbox to be able to reach the different types of learners that are in the classroom.”

Teddy Roosevelt library to rely on digital efforts BISMARCK, N.D. – Theodore Roosevelt’s love of the country’s untouched, natural beauty spurred him to create and conserve hundreds of national forests, parks and monuments during his presidency.

His legacy, though, is being preserved digitally.

A devoted group of scholars and Roosevelt admirers has been scanning his papers and artifacts for years and is finalizing a design for a library and museum commemorating the life of the 26th president.

Unlike the presidential libraries that came before it, however, the Roosevelt library will feature a collection that is primarily digital.

Detainees sleep in a holding cell June 18 at a U.S. Customs and Border Protection, processing facility in Brownsville, Texas. Immigration courts backlogged by years of staffing shortages and tougher enforcement face an even more daunting challenge since tens of thousands of Central Americans began arriving on the U.S. border fleeing violence back home.

Backlogged immigration courts face new deluge

By AMY TAXIN The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Adolescent girls in braids and pigtails and teenage boys wearing jeans and sneakers sat alongside their parents in the courtroom of Immigration Judge Frank Travieso to hear how long they might be allowed to stay in the United States.

Travieso grabbed four thick books and dropped each one on his desk with a thud, warning the families in his Los Angeles courtroom about the thousands of pages of immigration laws and interpretations that could affect their cases and urging them to get a lawyer.

“This is even smaller print,” he said of the 1,200page book containing regulations during the hearing last month. “I am not trying to scare you, but I’m trying to ensure your children get a full and fair hearing.”

He then sent them on their way and told them to report

The scene is one that could become more common as the country’s already backlogged immigration courts brace for a deluge of tens of thousands of Central American children arriving at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent months.

The court system is so overwhelmed that it can currently take three years to get a hearing, and many believe the delays will only get worse in the months ahead. For many immigrants, the delays in the court system work in their favor because they know they have so long before their cases

are resolved.

“This situation just happens to be a magnitude unlike anything we have ever seen,” said Lauren Alder Reid, counsel for legislative and public affairs at the U.S. Justice Department’s Executive Office for Immigration Review, which runs the courts.

Immigration courts in the United States have long been troubled. The courts, overseen by the Department of Justice, have more than 375,000 cases being handled by just 243 judges, according to the agency.

It can take months or years to get hearings for immigrants who aren’t in detention facilities, let alone a resolution. Immigration lawyers said judges are already setting hearings for 2017.

The Obama administration has said it will move quickly to process thousands of immigrant children and families arriving on the Texas border fleeing violence and extortion from gangs in El Salvador, Guatemala and Honduras.

LOTTERY

Although boring, Piketty important to know Dear Mr. Berko: I’m a retired high-school English/ psychology teacher who has always been fascinated with economics and the stock market. Would you please explain the economic philosophy of Thomas Piketty, which has been taking the print media (especially The Wall Street Journal) and popular broadcast news programs by storm? Even noted economist Paul Krugman, Ph.D. (whom I greatly admire) has endorsed Piketty’s ideas. I’ve tried to read Piketty’s “Capital in the Twenty-First Century,” but it’s too far above my knowledge level for me to understand.

Although it’s a boring read, I sense it’s also important to understand. – TR, Rochester, Minn.

Dear TR: So is William Shakespeare, who I believe is an execrable waste of time.

Meanwhile, you and a few other readers have kind of gotten carried away with professor Paul Krugman, who, in the past six years, has been frequently published and quoted by the media. In 2011, this elegant egalitarian

loquaciously praised the Veterans Health Administration as a triumph of socialized medicine, calling it “free from the perverse incentives created when doctors and hospitals profit from expensive tests and procedures.”

And in a recent book review, this diminutive (Paul is 5-foot-7) Nobel laureate enthused that Piketty’s book is “a bona fide phenomenon.” He continued to gush eloquently about Piketty’s brilliance and originality and the importance of his ideas.

But I suggest you read Paul’s comments with a lot less awe because he may have been paid for his book review and comments on Piketty.

Then be mindful that most economists are ivory tower habitués who’d starve if they had to earn a living in our world of sticks and stones.

Piketty’s book has created a sensation in the White House, and his TV interviews have given him celebrity status, but I think that will be short-lived.

And you’re right; “Capital in the Twenty-First Century” is “a boring read.” It was so

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko boring that I couldn’t wait to put it down, although I did read parts of it all the way through. Piketty’s main thesis is that when the return on investment (assume 5 percent) exceeds economic growth (assume 3 percent), the difference (2 percent) is transferred from the poor to the wealthy. Seeing as we have a $15.68 trillion economy, that 2 percent, $313.6 billion, is a significant amount of money. Piketty pored over 40,000 tax returns, and his 600 pages’ worth of conclusions is really old porridge reheated and reheated and reheated. This “taking from the poor man and giving to the rich man” narrative has been going on since the most recent ice age and is the natural order of the universe.

Mankind is nature’s only

oxymoron.

Economists recognize that our deficit (the amount of money the government borrows annually to meet its expenses) closely measures the increase in wealth of America’s affluent. Basically, the more our government borrows (creating new money) the wealthier our affluent citizens become. This is really trickle-up economics designed by Washington and is among the few things that defy gravity, because money seldom trickles down.

Piketty’s solution is a “global wealth tax” – based not on income but on an individual’s total assets – because he fervently believes that capitalism produces ever-increasing inequality.

In his opinion, he’s right as a rainbow.

Economists are people who are not capable of making a living in society (like accountants, electricians, teachers, carpenters, engineers, cops, etc.) and spend

their muddled lives telling others how they should live.

I probably know a dozen of these guys, the majority of whom are celibate, have handshakes like a wet glove, act a little goofy (think Alan “The Mumbler” Greenspan), wear shoes that squeak even when standing still, don’t cut their toenails and use an after-shave lotion that smells like Juicy Fruit. But this isn’t Piketty. Piketty’s a chubby, handsome fellow with a thick head of hair, and he’s a superb public speaker with a disarming French accent, giving his words a sense of intellectual authority.

His female students at MIT (where I heard him speak in 1995) swoon all over him, and this man could charm the wart off a witch’s nose.

OUR VIEW

If voters hire you, will you stay or quit?

If you are elected to the Legislature, will you quit before your term ends?

That question should be posed to every candidate for Illinois House and Senate in the Nov. 4 election.

Why? Voters ought to know before the election whether candidates plan to serve a full term, or whether they intend to step down early.

We’re not talking about reasonable resignations because of serious illness, election or appointment to a higher office, moving out of

state, and so forth.

We’re talking about resignations that seem to come from nowhere, for no good reason, that create a vacant seat to be filled, not by voters, but by party powerbrokers.

Already this summer, state Rep. JoAnn Osmond, R-Antioch, and state Rep. Chuck Jefferson, D-Rockford, have quit. Jefferson didn’t say why, while Osmond said her son was getting married in September. Huh? Party officials appoint the replacements to fill out unexpired terms. Voters are

left out of the decisions.

In addition, state Rep. Josh Harms, R-Watseka, is taking his name off the November ballot. Again, party officials will nominate a replacement.

Voters won’t have a say on who it is.

Such resignations break faith with voters who elect people to serve a set amount of time in the Legislature.

The practice also contributes to voter apathy and cynicism.

In contrast, we point to the example of former state Rep. Jerry Mitchell, R-Sterling, who decided not to seek

re-election a few years ago, and who chose to serve out his full term.

Voters were treated to a rousing Republican primary contest in March 2012 with four candidates – Li Arellano Jr., Tom Demmer, Chet Olson and Dan Sidmore – running for the Republican nomination. (In the GOP-dominated 90th District, no Democrats ran.)

After an intense campaign, voters nominated Demmer, who went on to win the general election.

That’s how to stir voter

interest and involvement.

We find it ironic that the Legislature and Gov. Pat Quinn support new measures to make voting easier, such as same-day registration.

The same bunch, however, remains quiet about lawmaker resignations that, time after time, take important decisions out of voters’ hands.

It’s up to voters, then, to pin down the candidates this fall on the key question: If you are elected to the Legislature, will you quit before your term ends?

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Once again, Congress needs to act – this time to renew the Highway Trust Fund, created back in 1956 to help construct and fund our nation’s roadways, bridges, tunnels and sidewalks. The trust fund has been a complete success, but it’s about to run out of money soon if Congress fails to act.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders summarized our highway challenge: “Thirty-two percent of America’s major roads are in poor or mediocre condition, and 42 percent of [our] major urban highways remain congested, costing the economy an estimated $101 billion in wasted time and fuel annually.”

Our nation’s infrastructure needs repair. Fixing our roads and bridges should be a bipartisan affair.

Dwight Eisenhower was a young major in 1919 when he was assigned to a transcontinental Army convoy to “test vehicles and dramatize the need for improved roads.” What Ike saw (at what turned out to be an average speed of 5 miles an hour) stayed with him until

VIEWS Donna Brazile he was president. In Detroit’s Cadillac Square, in 1954, Eisenhower set forth his goal of an interstate highway system that “will take this nation out of its antiquated shackles of secondary roads. ... It will be a nation that is going ahead every day – with our population increasing at five every minute, the expanding horizon is one that staggers the imagination.”

Sixty years later, our nation’s highway system needs repair and maintenance – and expansion – if we want to keep moving ahead “every day” toward Eisenhower’s vision of an “expanding horizon” of potential and achievement.

According to the nonpartisan Pew Research firm, “Nearly half the states [24] received a third or more of their highway and transit funding from federal sources.” The government pours more than $50 billion

into highway maintenance and construction yearly. It’s a good deal for the states: The majority get back in federal dollars multiple times the amounts that they send.

Pew reports that Alaska gets back $7 for every dollar it contributes to the federal Highway Trust Fund. Vermont gets $5 for every $1 sent. North Dakota and Montana get $3 for every $1. Only four states (Texas, Michigan, Indiana and South Carolina) receive less than what they send, and that is only pennies less – from two cents to five cents less.

The nonpartisan research arm of Congress, the Congressional Budget Office, reported to Congress that the Highway Trust Fund will run out of money if Congress doesn’t act.

Unfortunately, it comes as no surprise that Congress has been reluctant to provide the funds. Some of the more conservative members want to cut the federal government out of the picture altogether.

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

BERGDAHL CONTROVERSY

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, July 13, 2014

34

To the Editor: As a loyal American and veteran, I’m embarrassed and confused by the Bergdahl situation.

Apparently, he wasn’t just AWOL, based on media reports with notes he left along with the interview with his squad mates.

Since he thought about leaving,

knew it wasn’t right, and did it during a conflict period, it may well be desertion.

It is also reported that he was searching for the enemy. Shortly after the enemy claimed custody, the wanted an exchange for the five they got. Could he have been complicit in the whole endeavor?

On July 16, 2014, Mary Strange

in USA Today tried to rationalize his actions based on faith (both previous and current), parents’ ideas and even his previous interactions with other Asian-based faiths and French foreign Legion.

If he was that confused, he never should have been accepted into the service.

During the five years, many

risked their lives and a lot of assets and energy were expended to get him back. They deserve justice. When he was released, his captors body language, to wit: a pat on the shoulder, observed on the video, was not consistent with an enemy, but more like a friend. We Americans, his fellow soldiers, those who risked their

lives, and his family deserve the complete truth – now.

If he is a traitor, he needs to be tried, convicted, reduced in rank, and separated from the service as such. We Americans and vets deserve justice.

Mark Turk Joliet

Boehner couldn’t bring own highway bill to vote • BRAZILE Continued from page 33 They have yet to explain, though, how they propose to keep an Interstate Highway System intact with 50 state legislatures acting independently.

Federal gasoline taxes used fully fund the Highway Trust Fund. But because the federal gas tax is not pegged to inflation, its buying power has decreased by 48 percent.

Cars with greater fuel efficiency also mean less revenue.

Raising gasoline taxes – last raised in 1993 – is one option.

Regardless, unless new forms of revenue are found, the CBO says that, starting next year, the fund will short fall – by billions – of what’s needed.

What’s worse, much, much worse, is that Congress has refused to provide long-term funding.

Another artificial crisis, another legislative traffic jam – this time, one that may bring our federal highways to a standstill. How snarled is Congress? Some road-rage members want to make repealing Obamacare, or adding pet projects like permanent tax breaks for the rich, a condition for funding. Sigh.

It’s so bad that Speaker John Boehner wasn’t able to bring his own highway bill to a vote. He almost needs personal ambassadors to House tea party members because they behave like a foreign nation within their own party.

The “solution” has been a series of short-term funding deals.

Boehner opposes shortterm fixes. But this is an in-

stance where the tail wags the dog, and he has had to capitulate to still another Band-Aid fix just to stave off disaster.

Thousands of jobs may be at stake. Short-term fixes hurt because they force states to abandon long-term planning; because of the uncertainty of funding, they can’t sign longterm contracts.

Boehner’s latest proposal only takes the nation to next May. Even so, the revenue will come at the expense of employee pension plans. Companies can delay paying into the plans, which will increase their profits, and their revenue to the Treasury.

In the meantime, the Chamber of Commerce and labor unions have joined together to plead for longer-term action. And seven nonpartisan, state-level organizations have sent Congress a joint letter pleading for a longterm solution. These are: the National Governor’s Association, the National Conference of State Legislatures, the Council of State Governments, the National Association of Counties, the National League of Cities, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the International City/County Management Association.

With such strong bipartisan support, this is clearly something Congress can and must do before its members leave Washington for their summer vacations.

TIGERS’ TRUE TREASURE

Joliet West pitcher/first baseman named Softball Player of the Year

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joy Treasure’s candy of choice was either green or red.

“We got to pick our favorite color, and I picked whatever I was feeling that day, which for me usually was either red or green,” she recalled. “It was our good-luck thing to hit well.”

The late Jim Brumund, longtime Joliet Township and Joliet West assistant coach, supplied the pregame candy during Treasure’s two earlier seasons on the West varsity.

Brumund passed away March 12, shortly before the Tigers opened what would become a 30-win season, including a 13-1 championship run in the rugged SouthWest Suburban Blue.

The candy was missing this spring, but not the spirit.

“After Mr. Brumund passed, we weren’t playing for ourselves anymore,” Treasure said. “We were playing for something bigger than that.”

If Brumund was looking down on the Tigers, he had to enjoy what Treasure accomplished.

The senior pitcher/first baseman, who throws right and bats left, hit .508 with 16 doubles, three triples, six home runs, 35 RBIs and 40 runs scored.

She was patient and willing to take a walk if she didn’t see her pitch.

She finished with an onbase percentage of nearly .600 and a slugging percentage of well over .800.

For good measure, she went 17-4 in the circle with a 2.22 ERA entering the sectional.

For all of that, and more, she is the Player of the Year on the Herald-News All-Area Softball Team.

“Joy’s offense was outstanding,” West coach Heather Suca said of her No. 3 hit-

Joliet West’s Joy Treasure has been selected as the Herald-News Softball Player of the Year. The recent graduate will continue her playing career at Illinois Central College. ter. “She put the ball in play, striking out only six times all year.

“When you play in our conference, that says a lot.

Two of the four teams downstate in 4A [Sandburg and Lincoln-Way East] were ours.

Her batting average in conference play was very close to the same as it was overall.”

Lincoln-Way East, in fact, ended West’s postseason run, 12-2, in the championship game of the Andrew Sectional.

Sandburg handed the Tigers their only conference loss, 8-7.

“It wasn’t easy to hear about Lincoln-Way East and Sandburg being at state, but we did beat both of them,” Treasure said. West was 2-0 against East and 1-1 versus Sandburg in league play. The Tigers finished 30-8.

“Thirty wins against our schedule, we were a tough team,” Treasure said. “I was hoping for a little more at the end of the season. But the credit goes to Lincoln-Way East. They got hot at the right time.”

Even at Christmas break, you could see her work ethic. She knew she had to improve on the mound if we were going to have success, and she did.

She has always been a good player, and she is self-motivated.”

Heather Suca Joliet West softball coach

Suca said this was Treasure’s best season, by far.

“This was my best year,” Treasure agreed. “There was a lot of physical and mental work that went into it. I’m glad it all came together for my senior year.

“Last year was my worst for pitching. Katie McKay was our main pitcher last year. I

worked on pitching at the end of last season and pitched in the summer with my travel team. I knew I could do it.”

An Illinois Coaches Association Class 4A third-team all-stater, Treasure felt her hitting improved as well.

“I went up to the plate with a lot more confidence,” she said. “I worked with [Suca] a lot. It was my best year as far as hitting the ball. I always was a contact hitter, though.”

Her success didn’t just happen.

“Even at Christmas break, you could see her work ethic,” Suca said. “She knew she had to improve on the mound if we were going to have success, and she did. She has always been a good player, and she is self-motivated.”

West began the season 0-4, but Treasure and her fellow seniors were not about to continue on that path. The Tigers followed the rough start with an 18-game winning streak as Treasure and freshman Kiley Robb became a strong one-two punch in the circle.

“Joy did a tremendous job helping our freshman pitcher,” Suca said. “When she was playing first base, she definitely was Kiley’s No. 1 supporter.”

“I knew going into the season that Kiley and I were going to share the pitching,” Treasure said. “There was no competition between us. It worked out for both of us. We pretty much alternated and our numbers were really close to each other.”

Treasure also ran cross country for her first three years of high school. One of her main goals was to get faster so she could be better suited to Suca’s aggressive running game.

“I ran cross country for three years but I realized I was still slower than my teammates in softball, so I quit cross country and did more speed training,” she said. “I started working on sprints and stuff.

“Of course, even this year I was one of the slower ones on the team, or maybe in the middle.”

That’s the only aspect of her game where you might describe her as average.

Treasure will continue her softball career a junior college, Illinois Central in East Peoria, and then hopefully will move on to a four-year program.

“The coach, Heather Doty, has a good history of transferring players,” Treasure said.

“The past two years they finished fourth in the nation in junior college Division II.” She is planning to study nursing.

“I always wanted to do something in the medical field,” she said. “This gives me an opportunity to do that and softball.”

She leaves Joliet West with fond memories of a special senior season.

Even in his absence, Mr. Brumund’s candy seems to have worked.

In addition to her power, she is fast and aggressive on the bases. I have never seen a player manufacture as many runs as she does off pure base running.”

Suca: “Alysia hit the ball hard every time up. She hit .442 in the SWS Blue, which is quite an accomplishment. She batted fourth all year, producing key hits.”

Meet the H-N All-Area Softball Team

Underclassmen rule H-N All-Area Softball ’14 team includes two sophomores, 10 junior players If you peruse the Herald-News All-Area Softball Team that is presented in this section, a few things may catch your attention.

First, the team is laden with underclassmen. The 18-player first team includes six seniors along with 10 juniors and two sophomores.

Second, virtually all of the second-team selections have credentials that merited consideration for inclusion on the first team.

There were that many outstanding softball players in

this area.

Speaking of which, determining the Herald-News Player of the Year was not a slam dunk by any means. Joliet West senior pitcher/first baseman Joy Treasure is our selection, but there was no fewer than a handful of others who could have been selected without argument.

The first-team selections came from 13 schools. Joliet West, which had a 30-8 season after an 0-4 start, leads the way with three selections.

Lincoln-Way East, the fourthplace state finisher in Class 4A, landed two spots, as did Lincoln-Way West and Providence. Nine other schools had one apiece.

The seniors chosen include Treasure, Wilmington’s Ashley Adermann, Lincoln-Way

VIEWS Dick Goss West’s Morghan Dieringer, Lockport’s Kelly Pattison, Providence’s Courtney Pych and Minooka’s Meghan Quirk.

The sophomores are Providence catcher Jessica Cothern and Lincoln-Way West shortstop Dani Morgan.

The large junior contingent consists of Joliet West’s Jen Ames and Alysia Rodriguez, Lemont’s Rylie Jay, Lincoln-Way Central’s Jackie Farbak, Gardner-South Wilmington’s Emily Foley, Plainfield South’s Jordan Harbacek, Bolingbrook’s Megan Lotarski, Lincoln-Way East’s Blake Ruiz, Plainfield Cen-

tral’s Michaela Schlattman and Lincoln-Way East’s Jenny Van Geertry.

With that many underclassmen on the team, you have to believe 2015 could bring one of those seasons for the ages.

The first team contains three full-time and one parttime outfielder, two catchers, a couple of corner infielders, seven middle infielders and six who pitched full-time or the majority of the time.

If you had any doubt about the quality of players produced in this area, review the capsules on the first team, second team and special mention picks.

One of the quick hits for each girl is where she will play in college, if that has been determined. That in

itself is impressive.

Of course, the offensive statistics that are quoted are off the charts. When they moved back the pitching rubber, talented hitters stepped up and softball became a different game.

As noted earlier, the stats posted by many of the second-team selections are gaudy as well.

Most of that group was under consideration for the first team at some point in the process of paring the list down to what we felt were the absolute best 18.

Regardless, our congratulations go out to one and all, to anyone who received mentioned anywhere on our all-area team, including honorable mention.

You all have game.

BEARS POSITION BREAKDOWN: OFFENSIVE LINE

Bears expected to return all five starters for first time since 2006-07

the sideline out of precaution – Mills is coming off foot surgery – Britton moved to right tackle, with Ola and Boggs at left and right guard, respectively.

The odd man out was James Brown, two years removed from showing promise as a starting guard but a healthy scratch 16 times last season.

Brown enters camp squarely on the roster bubble.

The de la Puente signing, at least initially, seemed like bad news for Boggs, but he showed some of the versatility offen-

• Sunday, July 13, 2014

Overview: When the Bears arrived in Bourbonnais last year, no unit had more question marks than the offensive line.

Fast forward 12 months.

With their 2013 first-rounder coming off a Pro Bowl appearance, and their quarterbacks having been sacked only 30 times, the Bears expect their front wall to be one of their greatest assets.

For the first time since 2006-07, the Bears expect to return all five starters up front.

Left tackle Jermon Bushrod, left guard Matt Slauson, center Roberto Garza, right guard Kyle Long and right tackle Jordan Mills formed one of three lines in the NFL last season to start all 16 games in the same spots. The group gained cohesion as the season wore on, but also the trust of quarterback Jay Cutler, who had been part of too many “hit parades” in previous seasons in Chicago.

Although the starters are set, the NFL is a league of attrition, where expecting such good health and continuity two seasons in a row would be foolish.

Thus, Bourbonnais will be a critical audition period for backups – centers Brian de la Puente and Taylor Boggs, guards James Brown and Michael Ola, and tackles Eben Britton and Charles Leno Jr. – at least one of whom is likely to play meaningful snaps.

Position battles: With Slauson missing the offseason while recovering from shoulder surgery, Britton filled in at left guard. But once Long and Mills joined Slauson on

sive line coaches crave in the offseason. Yet de la Puente can also fill in at guard and, given Ola’s familiarity with coach Marc Trestman and quick rise up the depth chart after his June signing, Boggs also needs a strong camp showing later this month to enhance his job security.

Leno was fairly nondescript in the offseason, but his ability – paired with Britton’s inability – to play left tackle means the seventh-rounder (Leno) and sixth offensive lineman from a season ago (Britton) are relatively safe heading into camp. Leno seemed ahead of Joe Long and Brown on the early depth chart on the blind side.

Contract situations: General manager Phil Emery rewarded Garza, 35, with a one-year, $1.5 million deal in February.

Emery locked up Slauson for four years and almost $5 million guaranteed.

The moves ensured the Bears, who control the rights of Bushrod, Long and Mills for three more years, have the ability to return their starting five intact.

Top reserves Britton and de la Puente are on veteran minimum deals, looking to cash in if they get extensive playing time because of an injury.

Keep an eye on: de la Puente. Signed to a one-year deal in April, the former Saint – who made 44 consecutive starts in New Orleans from 2011 to 2013 – is the wild card.

He was signed to back up Garza, the glue of the unit and a locker room leader, but de la Puente is eight years younger than Garza and just as well versed in offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer ’s blocking schemes from their time together in the Big Easy.

The Bears have specifically stated de la Puente will back up Garza, but a strong camp from the newcomer could change things. If nothing else, de la Puente is auditioning for 2015, when a center vacancy is imminent.

SLAMMERS WEEKEND ROUNDUP

Slammers trade Riley, take out frustrations

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, July 13, 2014

40 SUBMITTED REPORTS SCHAUMBURG – The Joliet Slammers arrived in Schaumburg in a foul mood Friday night and took out their frustrations on the Boomers, rolling to a 14-3 victory.

On Thursday, the Slammers hit four home runs, two

by Marquis Riley, and were leading at Normal, 6-4, late in the game. But Riley, playing left field, dropped a long fly ball in the bottom of the eighth inning that allowed two runs to score and tied the game. The CornBelters scored

another run on two bloop hits in the ninth to win, 7-6.

In Friday’s thrashing of Schaumburg, the Slammers took control when they sent 11 men to the plate and scored seven runs in the second inning.

Their 14 runs and 17 hits were season high, and all the fireworks came without Riley’s bat. He was traded Friday to the Southern Illinois Miners for starting pitcher Matt Crim and reliever David Kubiak.

Grant DeBruin slammed two doubles in the second

inning to extend his hitting streak to 14 games. He finished with three hits, as did Jose Garcia. Seth Granger added four singles, while Russell Moldenhauer had two hits and three RBIs. Adam Lewis drove in two and Chris Epps contributed a sacrifice fly and reached base three times.

Adam Giacalone chipped in a two-run double.

Newcomer Jake Gronsky had two hits and two RBIs in his professional debut. He was signed out of Monmouth University before the game.

Other roster moves included

the release of pitcher Travis Reboulet and the Riley trade.

Blair Walters pitched eight strong innings, allowing three runs on six hits, for the victory. Crim, meanwhile, started the first game of Saturday’s night doubleheader and went four innings, allowing three runs on six hits in a game the Slammers lost, 4-3.

The Slammers grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Moldenhauer doubled in Epps, but Schaumburg answered with two runs in the bottom of that inning. After the Boomers took a 3-1 lead

in the second, the Slammers got a run back in the fourth when Giacalone scored on a wild pitch.

Joliet tied things up in the seventh inning when Jake Gronsky came home on a twoout error but Schaumburg answered with a run in the bottom of the seventh when Ty Nelson got a two-out RBI single for his third hit of the contest.

Max Casper and Moldenhauer each collected a pair of hits for the Slammers. Brett Zawacki allowed three hits in 12⁄3 innings to take the loss.

WHITE SOX 6, INDIANS 2

BRAVES 11, CUBS 6

Abreu hits 29th home run, White Sox beat Indians

Johnson homers twice in Braves’ win over Cubs

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CLEVELAND – White Sox slugger Jose Abreu has already done a lot of damage in the first half of his rookie season.

He kept on going Saturday in the Sox’s 6-2 win over the Cleveland Indians. Abreu hit his major league-leading 29th homer, a two-run shot that helped the Sox end a threegame losing streak.

“He’s good,” his manager Robin Ventura said. “I’m glad he’s on our side.”

Abreu, picked for the AL All-Star team, broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a drive off Zach McAllister (3-5). The homer cleared the fence in right field and landed in the Sox bullpen for their first hit.

After White Sox shortstop Alexei Ramirez, another member of the All-Star team, left the game with a stiff back following a leadoff walk in the fourth. Abreu homered on the next pitch.

Ramirez said he doesn’t think his back will prevent him from playing in Tuesday’s game in Minnesota.

Abreu is batting .287 with 73 RBIs, good for second in the

“[Jose] Abreu is obviously a very dangerous hitter. That’s probably the understatement of the year.”

Terry Francona Indians manager

league.

“I am very proud of what I have accomplished so far in the first half,” he said through a translator. “I’m very happy to participate in the All-Star game. It’s definitely an honor.”

Abreu is 7 for 35 with five homers and 15 strikeouts against the Indians.

“Abreu is obviously a very dangerous hitter,” Indians manager Terry Francona said.

“That’s probably the understatement of the year.”

All-Star outfielder Michael Brantley hit a leadoff homer in the eighth for Cleveland.

Scott Carroll (4-5) held the Indians to two hits in five shutout innings before being pulled because of a stiff lower back.

“I felt it a couple of innings before that,” he said. “It real-

ly kind of hit me in the fifth. I tried to stay out there as long as I could.”

The rookie right-hander has won two straight starts, in which he hasn’t allowed a run over 112⁄3 innings. Carroll allowed one hit over 62⁄3 innings in Monday’s 4-0 victory at Boston.

He was 0-5 with an 8.10 ERA in his previous six starts.

Gordon Beckham broke a 1-for-32 skid with a two-run double during a three-run ninth. Indians reliever Austin Adams made his major league debut and gave up all three runs. He got only one out.

Adam Dunn had an RBI single in the sixth.

Sox relievers Zach Putnam, Javy Guerra, Eric Surkamp and Jake Petricka combined to allow two runs over the final four innings.

Carroll hasn’t given up an earned run in 14 innings over three appearances against Cleveland. His first career loss was to the Indians on May 3 when he allowed two unearned runs in six innings of a 2-0 defeat.

Carroll retired the first eight hitters before Mike Aviles’ two-out single in the third.

By SARAH TROTTO The Associated Press CHICAGO – Chris Johnson and the Atlanta Braves capitalized on a day when the ball was flying at Wrigley Field.

And Mike Minor toughed it out on a day when it was tough to pitch.

Johnson homered twice and Minor hit his second career home run, leading the Atlanta Braves over the Cubs, 11-6, on Saturday.

Johnson and Justin Upton each drove in four runs for the Braves.

Johnson and Minor homered and Upton hit a threerun double as Atlanta scored six times in the fourth inning for a 9-3 lead.

“It’s one of those days at Wrigley when you get the ball up in the air and the ball keeps traveling,” Johnson said. “Mike battled though.

It’s a tough place to pitch on days like this. He battled and kept us in the game. We were able to get enough.

Minor (3-5) allowed six runs and 11 hits in six innings, improving to 6-0 in his career against the Cubs.

The Braves won for the second time in seven games.

They hit no home runs in

their previous six games and one in their past 12 games.

Upton and Justin Heyward had RBI singles in the ninth for Atlanta.

David Carpenter pitched two innings for his third save.

“Today is one of those days we need all the offense we can get because the wind was blowing out, typical Wrigley Field wind blowing out,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. “We never felt comfortable.”

Chris Coghlan hit two doubles and drove in three runs for the Cubs, who have lost seven of nine.

Edwin Jackson (5-10) lasted just 32⁄3 innings after giving nine runs, seven hits and three home runs.

“It’s just one of those embarrassing, horrendous games,” Jackson said. “Flat out, there’s no other way to put it. Your team does a great job and battles back, and you continually give up the lead.

It’s pretty much unacceptable.”

Johnson’s second homer of the day and fifth of the season was a two-run shot and made it 5-3 in the fourth.

Johnson’s third career multihomer game was his first since 2012.

Pau Gasol tweets Kids sick? he’s joining Bulls Husband needs

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI The Associated Press

Pau Gasol in a tweet on his decision to sign with the Bulls front and Jimmy Butler on the perimeter. But scoring proved to be very difficult at times, and the Bulls lost to the Washington Wizards in five games of their first-round series.

That’s why they were so hot after Anthony, perhaps the best pure scorer in the game. The Bulls felt he would be a perfect fit to be surrounded by a defensive-minded supporting cast.

But as reports swirled that Anthony would remain with the Knicks, the Bulls didn’t waste any time moving on.

Now Gasol will team with Noah, a very good passer in the high post, in a formidable frontcourt tandem.

It’s also the end of an era for Gasol and the Lakers. His arrival in a trade from Memphis helped quell Bryant’s dissatisfaction with the direction of the franchise after owner Jerry Buss decided to move Shaquille O’Neal and go forward with Bryant as the unquestioned face of the franchise.

He arrived in the middle of the 2007-08 season and helped the Lakers reach the finals after a three-season absence.

They lost to the Boston Celtics that time, but rebounded to win the next two championships.

Gasol was the subject of trade rumors for much of his time in Los Angeles but always had the steadfast backing of Bryant.

But Gasol just turned 34, battled foot injuries last season and clashed with coach Mike D’Antoni several times.

• Sunday, July 13, 2014

The Bulls recovered quickly after losing out on Carmelo Anthony in free agency, landing Los Angeles Lakers big man Pau Gasol to bolster the team’s offense.

Gasol announced on his verified Twitter account Saturday evening that he reached agreement with the Bulls.

“It hasn’t been easy,” Gasol tweeted. “After meditating it a lot I’ve chosen to play with the Chicago Bulls. Looking forward to this new chapter of my career.”

The Spaniard is one of the NBA’s most offensively gifted and versatile big men, and he has long been one of Kobe Bryant’s favorite teammates with the Lakers.

Gasol spent the past seven seasons in Los Angeles, teaming with Bryant to win two championships and reach another NBA Finals.

The exact terms of his agreement with the Bulls were not immediately clear. The Bulls and Lakers had reportedly been discussing sign-andtrade options earlier in the day Saturday, but no official announcement from either team had been made.

The 7-foot Gasol is a fourtime All-Star and averaged 17.4 points and 9.7 rebounds in 60 games last season with Los Angeles, and he brings some sorely needed offensive punch to the Bulls frontcourt.

Even with Derrick Rose expected to be ready to start next season after missing most of the last two years with knee injuries, the Bulls were still very much in the hunt for some offensive help for one of the most hard-nosed defensive teams in the league.

With Rose out last season, Tom Thibodeau’s group still managed to win 48 games and make the playoffs for the sixth straight season because of a defense led by Joakim Noah up

“It hasn’t been easy.

After meditating it a lot I’ve chosen to play with the Chicago Bulls. Looking forward to this new chapter of my career.”

The Associated Press RIO DE JANEIRO – Argentina coach Alejandro Sabella is looking for perfection against Germany in Sunday’s World Cup final.

Describing the Germans as “very powerful” physically, mentally and tactically, Sabella said Saturday that there’s no room for error.

“We must play a perfect game,” Sabella said.

Elborating on how to accomplish that, the 59-year-old coach turned poetic for a moment.

“We will give everything we’ve got,” Sabella said.

“Through humility, sacrifice, hard work, simplicity. By giving instead of taking, by forgiving instead of complaining.”

The Argentines lost one of their key players in the quarterfinals when Angel Di Maria limped off after straining his right thigh. Sabella said the Real Madrid winger’s condition was improving, but it was

unclear whether he would be ready for the final.

“Today is a key day to assess his evolution,” Sabella said.

“After practice I will have a better overview.”

Argentina last played in a World Cup final in 1990, when it lost to West Germany. Four years earlier, Argentina had become world champion for the second time, also in a final against the Germans.

Sabella said there are “parallels to a certain degree” between this World Cup and that of 1986, including the fact that the team to a large extent depends on a star player. Then it was Diego Maradona, now it is Lionel Messi, who has scored four goals in the tournament.

“Let’s hope the result is the same,” Sabella said.

Argentina has been trying to regain energy after its shootout win over the Netherlands on Wednesday, knowing Germany had one more day to recuperate after beating Brazil 7-1 on Tuesday.

Helping family from home Joliet cardiologist houses relatives from Syria to keep them safe from conflict

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – More than once, Joliet cardiologist Dr. Mazen M. Kawji wondered why he had bought such a large house in Burr Ridge for himself, his wife and their four children, now 11 to 22.

Never had Kawji envisioned sharing that house with six more people, all Syrian refugees, all relatives. Kawji’s parents have lived with him since August 2012. In June 2013, the husband of one of Kawji’s sisters and their three children – ages 4, 7 and 8 – temporarily joined them.

Kawji’s sister, an anesthesiologist, had received a visa to live and practice in Kuwait.

She had assumed a visa would be extended to her husband and children within a couple of months. That did not happen, Kawji said.

The husband and children recently left Kawji’s house for Turkey, the only country allowing Syrians to enter and exit, Kawji said, because the sister had vacation time and wanted to see her family. This is why Kawji is uncertain if they will return to Burr Ridge.

“I have sent money to another sister. It’s difficult for her to get out,” Kawji said.

“She’s a pediatrician and 49.

Her husband is a gastroenterologist and is in his 50s. They have four children, 2 to 12.

They prefer to die at home.”

To help individuals still living in Syria, Kawji encourages people to support several organizations. One is the American Relief Coalition for Syria at arcsyria.org. Another is Hope For Syria at hopeforsyria.org. A third is the Syrian American Medical Society at www.sams-usa.net.

Unfortunately, Kawji’s situation is not unique.

“Many of the Syrians who live here that are physicians

Kawji. Not pictured is Mazen Kawji’s wife, Ghadir. The refugees are the Zeitouns: Joud, Zeina, Loulya and their father, Fahd. Kawji’s brother, Haytham, and his daughters Lena, Yasmeen and Sema joined the group to celebrate a religious holiday.

The parent went to the local authorities and said, ‘They’re just kids.’ But they said, ‘Forget about them. Go back to your wives. Have more kids. And if you’re unable to do that, we’ll impregnate them for you.’ ” Dr. Mazen M. Kawji, on a group of schoolchildren who were arrested in Syria after spraying graffiti

or well-to-do have family with them,” Kawji said.

Ever since Kawji was attending medical school at Aleppo University in Syria, he dreamed of finishing his training in the United States and then bringing those skills back to his own people.

“America is the most advanced country on Earth,” Kawji said.

Kawji completed his residency at the Lutheran Medical Center in Cleveland and Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio, and performed an externship at the Department of Endocrinology at Baylor College of Medicine in Texas and a fellowship in cardiovascular medicine Louisiana State University in New Orleans.

He returned to Syria, briefly, in 1990 to get married.

That’s when he realized his mother country would never be home to him again. In 1998, Kawji joined Heartland Cardiovascular Center and has happily worked there ever since.

“The way they treat you … corruption is widespread.

Some of my friends went to

France. A few went to England,” Kawji said. “Very few people go back.”

Kawji said the trouble that led to Syria’s Civil War began in 2011 in Daraa, a small city in the southern part of Syria. A group of schoolchildren, about 10 to 14 years old, sprayed graffiti and said things like, “Down with the regime!” and “We want freedom!” They were arrested, he said.

“The parent went to the local authorities and said, ‘They’re just kids,’ ” Kawji said. “But they said, ‘Forget about them. Go back to your wives. Have more kids. And if you’re unable to do that, we’ll impregnate them for you.’ ” Knowing his parents are safe comes at a price. Kawji’s mother – in her 70s – and his father – in his 80s – know very little English, which makes them dependent on Kawji and isolated in his home.

“We go to work. My kids go to school,” Kawji said. “They are missing their community back home; they’re missing all that social life. My mother cries every day that she wants to go back home, even though she knows it’s unsafe. My dad tries to give her some peace, to tell her she’s blessed, that she’s sitting in a nice home with food, TV, Internet service and computers.”

Kawji said some locations in Syria have no electricity, no food and no water. In many cases, food shipments, even from the Red Cross, are not allowed in, he added. In other places, people are living in refugee camps with little food and no school for the children. The tents get hot in summer, cold in winter and are not waterproof, he said.

“People are starving to death. That’s documented on the news,” Kawji said. “There are areas in Damascus where people are eating grass because they have no food.”

Lincoln-Way Central honors outstanding science students

FRANKFORT – Chelsea Intermediate School fifth grade student Annabelle Kiely recently served as “Principal for the Day.” Her parents were the high bidders for this opportunity at the District 157-C Education Foundation annual fundraising auction.

Annabelle started her busy day by conducting the Pledge of Allegiance for the student body over the public address system. She then took attendance with the secretarial staff, emailed the school staff and reviewed the day’s agenda with Principal Kristin Simpkins and Assistant Principal Dan Prorok.

She also visited Grand

Prairie Elementary and Hickory Creek Middle School, as well as toured the District Administrative Office where she received her official staff identification badge. The highlight of the day was a trip for lunch at her choice of restaurant, Culver’s, with Simpkins and Prorok.

Annabelle also worked on a Kohl’s school grant application with Prorok, visited classrooms, had her photo taken for the newspaper, returned emails with Simpkins and met with physical education teachers to plan for the school’s upcoming Field Days. She ended her day by ordering supplies and assignment notebooks with Chelsea’s secretary, Sally Puzon.

LOCKPORT – Junior Girl Scout Troop 854 of Lockport recently sent care packages to the troops as a requirement to begin work on their Bronze Award, the highest award a Junior Girl Scout can earn.

They learned about the efforts of Erin Meyers, daughter of American Legion Commander Mike Meyers, who collected toiletries and other items for servicemen deployed overseas.

One of the scouts, Courtney Richmond, has a brother in the U.S. Navy who is currently serving aboard the USS San Antonio. She told the other scouts about how a ship will run out of supplies while underway for extended periods of time, and how receiving a package lifts the morale of those serving

their country.

The girls collected donations from the families in the troop and leaders. They received soap, shampoo, deodorant, baby wipes, moisturizer and other toiletries, along with puzzle books, envelopes, pens, paper and candies to help the servicemen and women pass the time.

Richmond and fellow scout Sophia Errico, along with Meyers and her friend Renee, then sorted and boxed the donations May 28 at the American Legion.

Included in the packages were letters from the girls thanking the men and women for their service. Additional items that could not be packaged were instead donated to the ladies auxiliary of the American Legion, who will use them for veterans in need.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Third hand gives partner the count

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Bill Watterson, the author of the comic strip “Calvin and Hobbes” from 1985 to 1995, said, “Weekends don’t count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless.”

Bridge players often compete only on weekends, when counting points and suit lengths will be very important.

This deal occurred during a social game. What should happen in two no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest club and East puts up his king? Do you agree with North’s pass over two no-trump?

Taking those questions in reverse order, North should have used Stayman, then raised three spades to four spades. That contract could have been made, but it would have been a tad lucky.

Still, South could have had a more suitable hand. And at the worst, South would have ended in three no-trump when he did not have a four-card major. Maybe it would have made.

In two no-trump, South took East’s club king with his ace and exited with a low spade. East won with the 10 and returned the club seven, high from a remaining doubleton. West took South’s nine with his 10 and erred badly by cashing the club queen. (The club jack could not be dropping, because if East had started with K-7-3-2 of clubs, he would have led back the club two, not the seven.)

South took the next club with his jack and played a second spade. East won and shifted to a heart. South won and led his spade queen. East took the trick and played another heart, but South won, unblocked his diamond winners, crossed to dummy with a spade, and cashed the diamond king for his eighth trick.

ADVICE Young teen is mocked for not wanting to date Dear Abby: I’m a 14-year-old girl in middle school. I have never seriously dated anyone, and the one time I did I felt trapped.

My friends think it’s weird that I have never dated a guy and they call me a lesbian. I just want to finish my schoolwork and wait until high school to start dating.

I don’t want to feel weighed down by anyone. Is there something wrong with me? – Confused In S. Carolina Dear Confused: Something wrong with you? Good grief, no!

In fact, I would go so far as to say there is something RIGHT with you. Not every teen – and that goes for boys, too – feels ready to date at 14.

It makes me angry that your “friends” would call you something you’re not just because you’re not doing what they’re doing. If it persists, your parents should talk to the school about it. Preferring to concentrate on your studies and waiting until high school to date is nothing to

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips be ashamed of – it’s something to be proud of.

Dear Abby: I attended a friend’s birthday celebration a few weeks ago at a chic restaurant. After our entrees were ordered and the appetizers served, the restaurant’s fire alarm sounded and the dining room was evacuated.

For 20 minutes all of the patrons waited patiently outside while the fire department was summoned. We learned from another guest that there had been a small fire in the kitchen.

When we returned to the dining room, a heated debate ensued among the guests. One person said that because the fire alarm had interrupted our meal, the lunch should be complimentary.

Others insisted the restaurant owed us nothing beyond an

apology. We paid our bill, but the question remains: Should the management have shown some consideration for the inconvenience we experienced? – FourAlarm Frazzled Dear Frazzled: I took your question to Craig Susser, owner of the successful Craig’s restaurant in West Hollywood, California. He agreed with me that the restaurant owner should have shown appreciation for the patience that was exhibited by the patrons.

While Craig said he wouldn’t have paid for the entire meal for everyone who was dining there that day, he certainly would have made some adjustment to the bill to compensate them for their inconvenience. “After all, we’re in it together,” he added. And that gracious attitude is why he has one of the most popular dining establishments in L.A. • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Keep head up, shoulders down, when working at computer Dear Doctor K: I work at a computer all day, and as a result, I frequently have neck pain. What can I do?

Dear Reader: Did you know that for every 10 degrees forward you tilt your head, the weight of your head on your neck increases about 10 pounds? It’s no wonder, then, that bending your head over a computer all day can strain muscles, ligaments, joints and other structures in your neck.

Luckily, a few simple steps can help prevent chronic neck pain.

Here are some dos and don’ts recommended by physical therapist Amy Devaney of Harvard-affiliated Massachusetts General Hospital: • DO keep your neck in a neutral position. That means your head balances directly over your spine and is not leaning forward or over to one side.

• DO keep your shoulders down and back in a relaxed position. Set an alarm every 45 minutes to “fix” your posture if you need to.

• DO set up your workstation with your computer screen at eye level and your feet supported on the floor.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • DO keep stress levels low.

Stress promotes poor body position and muscle tension that can pull the head forward. Consider practicing yoga or tai chi to help reduce stress.

• DO consider getting a desk chair with a headrest, like in your car. I have such a chair, and I’m writing this column with my head resting against the headrest.

• DON’T roll your head round and round your neck, as some people do to loosen their neck muscles. This can grind your bones together. Instead, gently stretch your neck from side to side: Slowly look left and hold for 10 seconds, then slowly look right and hold for 10 seconds. Or gently stretch up and down: Slowly bend your neck back and hold for 10 seconds. Then slowly put your chin close to your chest and hold for 10 seconds. (I’ve put an illustration of this stretch on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

• DON’T hold your head in a

bent position for more than 10 minutes, whether you’re reading, watching TV, or looking at a smartphone or computer. Change position so your eyes are looking straight ahead.

• DON’T talk on the phone while leaning your head to one side. Use a headset or Bluetooth device.

• DO see a doctor if your neck pain lasts more than two weeks.

It’s somewhat more expensive, but I found that getting a separate flat-screen monitor (much larger than the screen on my laptop) and a separate keyboard made an enormous difference. Instead of scrunching over to squint at a relatively small screen (and typing on a relatively small keyboard), I could sit with my spine vertical and my head in line with my spine. And I could rest my head on my chair’s headrest. I am now much less fatigued at the end of a workday.

• Dr. Komaroff is a physician and professor at Harvard Medical School. Visit www.AskDoctorK. com to send questions and get additional information.

Step-father wants to be good dad Dr. Wallace: Next month I will be getting married for the first time. I’m 39 and the lady is 35. We have been dating for almost a year.

Her husband died in an automobile accident two years ago and left her to raise her two daughters as a single parent. The girls are now 15 and 13. They are both good students and are very well-behaved.

I want to be sure that they continue to be superb teens. It is important to me to ensure that my influence on our new family will be extremely positive. I will do everything possible to be a successful parent. So any advice you can give me to be a good new father to two lovely young girls will be greatly appreciated. – Soon to Be a Parent, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Parent: I’ve gleaned my files and the following checklist is compiled from research by the United States Department of Education, Who’s Who Among American High School Students, and several organizations including the Parent Teachers Association. This information will help you become a positive influence.

• Communicate with your teen. If Mom and Dad don’t supply their children with correct information about sex, drugs, alcohol, stealing and other undesirable activities, the children are more likely to be swayed by peers with misinformation.

• Remember that you’re a model for your children. Whatever bad habits you indulge in – smoking, drinking, using drugs, watching too much television, swearing, blowing up at your spouse – are likely to be taken up by your teen. The “Do as I say,

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace not as I do” philosophy never works. Teens do what their parents do.

• Maintain a strong presence in your teen’s life. Parents should not allow peer pressure to set their teen’s values. Instead, the family should have regularly scheduled discussions that take on all topics of importance.

And don’t be afraid to admit it when you don’t know the answer.

• Make sure the rules you set for your teen are fair, and be consistent in disciplinary measures when rules are broken.

Parents should explain the purpose behind the rules and, wherever possible, allow the teen to have a say in making the rule and setting the consequences.

• Work with your teen’s school and teachers, not against them. Your teen must understand that any inappropriate behavior at school will meet with consequences at home.

This is imperative if your teen is to acquire a good education.

The school and the parents must be in harmony for the student to get the best possible education. It hinders a teen’s learning process when parents are not involved, and it devastates the learning process when the school and parents are in conflict.

The school should be an extension of the home in a total educational program.

You are a very wise father-to-be, and I know that you will do an outstanding job.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL

Simmons (1948), fitness trainer; Topher Grace (1978), actor; Michelle Rodriguez (1978), actress.

Decade after ‘Garden State,’ Braff still a lost soul

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – You must be decisive. Second-guessing your actions will make you appear unprofessional and will prevent you from moving forward and discovering all that you can achieve. If you have faith in your abilities, you will gain the confidence and support you need to advance.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Keep making your work a top priority. If you are too concerned about personal woes, your job performance will suffer. Productivity is your ticket to success and greater security.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Strive to reach your goals in order to be able to afford that dream vacation. If you give yourself the proper incentive, you will do your best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t get drawn into a situation with a co-worker that could compromise your position. It will be much less complicated to keep things on a professional level and take care of your own responsibilities.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Someone who depends on you will be resentful of the time you spend away from home. Try to balance your devotion to group involvements and family duties.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Job uncertainties will bring you down. Send out your resume or answer online job postings. Career consultants can provide you with knowledge and advice regarding your chosen field.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – A poor self-image will hold you back. Make personal improvements that will help boost your confidence and add to your skill set.

It’s up to you to build a solid base.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Keep your mind on your work. Your employer will notice if you are distracted or unable to concentrate on the job at hand. Your willingness to go above and beyond will bring rewards.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Let your compassionate and selfless nature shine through. You are a kind and giving individual, and you will find a great deal of satisfaction in helping others.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Don’t be too quick to offer unsolicited advice. If you are diligent and keep quiet until you are asked for your point of view, you will have a better chance to advance.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t keep your ideas to yourself. You are an expressive speaker who commands attention and can make a difference.

Take a leadership position, and others will follow you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Prepare to get into a straightforward talk with someone who influences your money matters.

Take a close look at joint financial arrangements and make the necessary changes to avoid loss.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Someone will send you mixed signals. Be patient, and keep the discussions going until you figure out what’s going on. A hasty assumption will lead to trouble.

By JEFF WEISS Special to The Washington Post LOS ANGELES – Blame Zach Braff.

The Shins are warbling at Cucina inside the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, a power lunch spot frequented by Hollywood’s most cold-blooded players. Over the restaurant’s speakers, “The Simple Song” – the same one used in the trailer for Braff’s new film “Wish I Was Here” – interrupts a bite of his steak salad.

“You’re going to put that in the story, right? Here we are ... in a nook in the Four Seasons ... and the Shins come on,” the 39-year-old “Scrubs”-star-turned-auteur wisecracks in a mock narrator’s voice.

Praise Zach Braff. By making the Shins the “change-your-life” contretemps of “Garden State” (and its Grammy-winning soundtrack), the New Jersey native introduced the mid-’00s indie pop avatars to the masses, allowing them to anesthetize lunches in swanky hotel restaurants.

A decade later, actor and band are as intertwined as John Travolta and the Bee Gees.

“Everyone’s seen an amazing band and thought, ‘How does no one know about them?” Braff speaks animatedly, powder-blue eyes bulging. “I love being able to occasionally pull out bands and say, ‘Check these [guys] out.’”

To his acolytes, Braff is the every-nebbish – the alienated but empathetic “nice guy” struggling in a world that has rewarded his talent generously, but not absolutely. He’s the patron saint of those slightly thwarted in their ambitions, lucky to be where they’re at and unable to escape the neurotic black hole of their heads.

Yet others see him as an emblem of musical gentrification, a privileged incarnate of “Stuff White People Like,” a glib tipping point in the eventual Urban Outfitterization of indie rock.

Regardless of your axis on the Braffian spectrum, “Garden State’s” impact was unmistakable. Made for $2.5 million, the 2004 word-of-LiveJournal sensation grossed $26.7 domestically, sold enough DVDs to fill the infinite abyss, and won a Grammy (Best Compilation Soundtrack) and Independent Spirit Award (Best First Feature).

The success shocked Braff. It transformed him from a pratfalling TV doctor to an indie heartthrob – a writer, director, actor and introduced co-star Natalie Portman as the Manic Pixie Dream Girl. The film’s screwball psychosomatic wanderings set to sad-sack indie rock gave “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Juno” a style to run with. It happened before he was 30.

A Braffian takeover seemed imminent

Focus Features photo

Zach Braff (second from right) stars as Aiden in his new comedy “Wish I Was Here,” a film that raises personal and religious questions. after “Garden State.” You don’t need to know about out-of-state production tax credits to understand that when your first movie makes its money back 20-fold, someone usually quickly finances a follow-up. But that didn’t happen. Listening to Braff explain his decade-long odyssey to make its successor doubles as an indictment of modern film financing.

“My ego was humbled,” Braff says. “I know I haven’t been able to make a movie in 10 years, but I’ve tried. They just all fell apart. Of course, I could’ve gone and made a big studio romantic comedy with stars. But ‘Scrubs’ put me in a position where I could say no. I didn’t want to put my name on [crap].”

That’s not to say that there were no industry dalliances. The 2006 DreamWorks release, “The Last Kiss” was a romantic comedy misfire that promised him the chance to rewrite the script in a more “gritty and real” tone. (“Yeah, right,” he rolls his eyes.) That year saw the release of “The Ex,” another critical and commercial failure.

High points included a 2005 Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actor on “Scrubs” (he left the show in 2009), and a hilarious turn as a “Girls Gone Wild” sleazoid on “Arrested Development.” His dream deferred was the adaptation of a dark Danish film called “Open Hearts.”

Sean Penn reportedly agreed to star, but production stalled when Braff’s lead actress (whose identity he declines to divulge) bailed for another role while he was location scouting in Atlanta.

“Everything is celebrity dependent, and celebrities’ schedules are always in flux. It’s fascinating that anything gets made,” Braff says. “Eighty percent of a

movie is the cast, but money guys treat it like a Chinese food menu. ‘You can only make it with him if you pair him with her.’ There’s people on lists whose names you don’t even know and when you ask, they say, ‘Oh, they’re in a giant franchise coming out. By the time your movie comes out, they’ll be huge.’”

“I’m making a tiny movie about my spirituality, my family and my biggest fears. And I’m supposed to give final cut to a banker, who’s going to make his cuts totally based on a test screening in the suburbs of L.A.? No. [Forget] that,” Braff thunders in a mild-mannered way.

“Everything everyone loves about ‘Garden State’ wouldn’t be in ‘Garden State’ if I hadn’t stumbled into a rich guy who knew nothing about the business and gave me final cut,” he says.

A spiritual sequel to “Garden State,” it raises personal and religious questions: how to reconcile personal limitations with childhood dreams, the fantasy of being saved by the love of your family, the crushing nothingness of death.

“If I have a religion, it’s just aspiring to be a good person and to live to the fullest in every moment, because I don’t think there’s an afterlife. I think we’re animals and they put us in the ground, and we’re eaten by worms,” Braff says.

As he says this, his face tightens and his eyes zone out in the familiar 1,000yard stare of his on-screen characters.

“It doesn’t work for me to believe that Noah’s Ark was real. The only religious sentiment that does is to go, ‘I’m here now. How can I be a good person to those around me? How can I express myself artistically, honestly and truly, without compromise?’” he said.

Jon Huertas also stars.
