VIEWS Kate Schott If we could, every edition of The Herald-News would include a story about someone who could benefit from the amazing generosity of this community.

My main reason for getting into journalism was so I could share the stories of everyday people. And I’ve gotten to tell plenty of them over the years.

My favorites are watching a soldier meet his daughter for the first time after being deployed and observing a woman who lost everything in Hurricane Katrina drop $10 she probably couldn’t spare into a donation jar to help those who had even less than she did.

Telling those types of stories is what I still love about this job.

On the surface, an article that ran in the Sunday, July 13, edition of The Herald-News met those criteria. We ran a story about a local person who needed housing assistance and received it. We later learned more facts about this person’s past, including a criminal history, that should have been in the original story as it provided more context to the situation this person was in.

The follow-up article that appeared in Tuesday’s print edition did not advocate that no one should help this family.

It did provide additional information we felt readers – many of whom contacted us asking how they could help – deserved to know if they were considering offering assistance. For some, this information would not have deterred them from helping. For others, it would.

Our job is not to make that decision for our readers. It is to provide them with as much available information about a given issue, topic or person as necessary, and let you make your own choices.

As a journalist and editor, I’ve pointed out the shortfalls of plenty of other people. I must do the same when the shortfall is ours.

We could have done better in this situation. Our job is to provide the most complete story we are capable of producing with each article we write, based on the information that is readily available. We gather information a number of ways, including interviews, reviewing documents and utilizing online resources.

Staff here – myself included – did not take advantage of all of resources available to us, which would have led us to find more details that should have been included in the first

article. The initial story was not inaccurate – it just didn’t include all the information it could have. And if we had known those details, we still could have published that first story – as long as the more complete picture was there.

I hate to think we have to do Google searches on every person in every story we write to ensure we are getting a better sense of who we are writing about. I like to believe the best in everyone, and it’s a quality I really don’t want to lose.

Nevertheless, what we owe you, our readers, is the most complete story possible, every time. This time, we did not do our job as well as we could have.

Nothing is more important to me professionally than the credibility of the publications I am blessed to be editor of. I accept that this omission error may have negatively affected that, and take full responsibility for it.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Man wanted for Minooka stabbing arrested in Chicago

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – A Joliet man wanted for stabbing a fellow employee at a Minooka warehouse was arrested by Chicago police Thursday night.

Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said Friday that Marshall L. Brown, the suspect who allegedly stabbed another employee July 11 at the World Class Distribution Inc. warehouse in Minooka, has been arrested.

“The suspect was picked up last night about 6 p.m. by Chicago police,” Meyer said. “We

are waiting for him to be transferred to Grundy County.”

A warrant was issued July 12 in GrunMarshall dy County for L. Brown Brown, of the 200 block of North Broadway in Joliet, charging him with aggravated battery, according to Meyer. The warrant carries a $250,000 bond.

About 4:15 p.m. July 11, Brown and a 31-year-old Country Club Hills man were working inside a freezer unit at

World Class Distribution, 1510 Cargo Court, when they began arguing, Meyer said in a previous interview. World Class Distribution ships products for Trader Joe’s grocery stores.

“There was a disagreement between the two individuals and Brown allegedly stabbed his co-worker and fled the scene in a vehicle,” Meyer said.

The victim was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet after being stabbed multiple times. He was cooperating with police on the investigation. No new information on the victim was immediately available.

LOCAL BRIEF Joliet man fatally shot JOLIET – A 25-year-old man was fatally shot early Saturday.

Joliet Police Cmdr. Al Roechner said police were called at 2:47 a.m. after shots were heard in the 200 block of Fourth Avenue and arrived to find the victim lying in the road.

“It appeared he had several gunshot wounds but was conscious,” Roechner said. The victim was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center where he underwent surgery. Roechner said hospital staff notified police the man died at 9:20 a.m.

The victim is a Joliet resident.

His name was being withheld from publication until family members could be notified.

Roechner said no suspect description was immediately available Saturday.

Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 815724-3020 or anonymously call CrimeStoppers at 800-323-6734.

NASCAR fans get inside look

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The constant roar of engines Saturday at Chicagoland Speedway did nothing to drown out the loud enthusiasm of fans who – for the first time – got an up-close-and-personal look inside their favorite NASCAR driver’s workplace: the garage.

Saturday’s Rally, Rock and Race Weekend event marked the first time in the Speedway’s 13-year history where fans could get an all-access pass to the NASCAR garages.

There, fans shook hands, asked for autographs and saw firsthand how crews prepared for the day’s NASCAR Nationwide Series racing event.

Those who bought a Fan Zone Pit Pass, along with an admission ticket, could enter the garages at the speedway.

Lifelong NASCAR fan Dawn Barone Martin of Joliet said she couldn’t believe just how laid-back and welcoming the drivers and pit crew members were.

“It’s awesome. Just to see the drivers walking around, and mingling with us, it’s very cool,” Barone Martin said. “I didn’t know what to expect when I came back here. This is great.”

Barone Martin was excited to get an autograph from Dylan Kwasniewski, the 18-year-old rookie for Turner Scott Motorsports No. 31 Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series.

“He’s a rock star,” Barone Martin joked as she posed for a photo with Kwasniewski – his Rockstar Energy Drink trailer in the background.

Kwasniewski was equally happy to share a few moments with fans.

“This is what it’s all about.

Being able to give the fans a

I wasn’t expecting this,” he said, laughing. “I came out here to sign a couple of autographs and they all started to form a line. It’s great.”

Saturday was a perfect example of how the world of NASCAR is different from any other sport, said Scott Paddock, Speedway president.

“What differentiates NASCAR from all other sports is the access it provides to the fans,” Paddock said. “Now they’ve taken that to a new level. It’s like having a sideline pass to an NFL game.

This is the No. 1 request we get from fans. To be able to bring them that bucket list item, it’s really turning this into a memorable weekend.

We can’t thank NASCAR enough for doing this.”

For now, NASCAR is only allowing the Speedway to open up garages in its supporting series events, but Paddock said he’s already getting requests for the same access during the Sprint Cup Series in September.

“We’ll see how this goes,” Paddock said.

Kyle Borgman, 13, of Channahon said he couldn’t believe how close he could get to the cars and some of his favorite drivers on Saturday.

“It’s cool. It’s really cool,” Borgman said, smiling ear to ear. He was on the lookout for his favorite driver, Kasey Kahne.

For Leslie Stein of Glenview, the all-access pass was a “dream come true.”

“I’m speechless. This is amazing. It’s just mind-blow-

ing,” Stein said, before giving a hug to Ty Dillon, driver of the Bass Pro Shops sponsored No. 3 Camaro.

“This is incredible,” she said.

Guests entering the garages received a hot sheet

with garage guide, a map of garage stalls and a detailed explanation of the NASCAR inspection process. The Rally, Rock and Race weekend event also included concerts, a classic car show and two races, among other activities.

Joliet councilman wants crackdown on illegal fireworks

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com

Jessica Bourque – jbourque@shawmedia.com

Joliet Police Officer John Stefanski (left) was among 54 cyclists that rode across Illinois in the Cycle Across America police memorial ride honoring fallen law enforcement officers. The ride was founded, in part, because of the loss of Joliet officer Jonathan Walsh 10 years ago.

Officers ride in memory of local officer killed in 2004

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After cycling about 230 miles to honor his fellow officers, Joliet Police Officer John Stefanski had no complaints.

“I’m feeling great,” he said Saturday, before embarking on another leg of the 325-mile ride.

Stefanski was one of 54 cyclists riding in the Cycle Across Illinois police memorial ride honoring officers who have died in the line of duty.

The ride was founded 10 years ago by the Illinois Concerns of Police Survivors, also known as COPS, shortly after Joliet bicycle officer Jonathan Walsh was killed in an on-duty car accident 10 years ago.

“We wanted to do a bike ride commemorating Jonathan and other officers who had died in the past,” founding COPS member Mark Hannan said.

The four-day ride begins

“I do this for that simple fact that, at any given time, it could be me one day.”

Ed Johnson COPS rider in Alton and ends in Chicago, with riders stopping to honor fallen police along the way.

The 54 riders and 15 support team members were comprised of co-workers, loved ones and others affected by the loss of an officer, including Joliet officers Stefanski, John Hanke, Larry Collins, Ed Johnson and Tony Lakota.

When the event started in 2005, only 11 riders and two support vehicles made the journey.

“We never knew that it would be something we’d do every year and grow to be such a large event with so much support,” said Hanke, who was integral to founding

the Illinois ride after Walsh’s death.

The ride is COPS’s largest annual fundraiser, securing money to support the families of the fallen officers through counseling, retreats and memorials. In years past, they’ve raised as much as $60,000, but were aiming for $100,000 for this year’s ride, said six-year participant Terry McMillen.

McMillen, 60, and his wife Jane, 55, ride each year in honor of their son Brian, an Illinois State Police trooper killed by a drunk driver several years ago.

“It’s just a lot of fun,” Terry said. “This is our support group.”

For Joliet officer Ed Johnson, the ride is about more than honor – it’s about family.

“I do this for that simple fact that, at any given time, it could be me one day,” Johnson said. “Therefore, I know if that ever happens, my family is going to be taken care of.

I know that this family will take care of my family.”

JOLIET – When it comes to cracking down on illegal fireworks, Councilman Bob O’Dekirk is ... well ... a real firecracker.

“I’ve been inundated with complaints about fireworks in our city,” O’Dekirk told the Joliet City Council on Tuesday. “I think we’re at a tipping point where we proactively need to take law enforcement measures regarding fireworks.”

This year the Joliet Police Department responded to 127 service calls involving fireworks between 2 p.m. July 4 and 3 a.m. July 5. The number of incidents is down from the previous year, when 150 incidents were recorded. But it’s up from the 75 or so calls a year that was typical during the recession years when people probably were just not spending as much on home fireworks.

“I don’t think the problem is kids with bottle rockets or firecrackers,” O’Dekirk said. “You have high-grade explosives that are going off in neighborhoods, and going off at really unacceptable hours, like 1 or 2 in the morning. And not only on the Fourth, but on the days leading up to and after it.

“I would like to see an ordinance with some real teeth in and fines levied,” O’Dekirk said. “I’d like to see jail time.”

your house, we will be arresting you.”

Benton noted that one resident already had set up tubes in his backyard to launch rockets.

After meeting with police, the homeowner said he would dismantle the setup and take his fireworks to his cousin’s house in Indiana, where fireworks are legal.

Illinois is one of four states – others are Iowa, Ohio and Vermont – that allows only sparklers and novelty items, according to the American Pyrotechnics Association. New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Massachusetts ban all commercial fireworks. The other 42 states allow some or all types of fireworks permitted by federal regulation.

State Sen. Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet, is drafting legislation to legalize the sale and purchase of fireworks in Illinois. It’s believed the measure could generate $3 million to $12 million a year in retail sales tax revenue from fireworks sales.

A bill legalizing firework sales could be introduced into the legislature next spring.

Benton said part of the problem is that society appears to perceive fireworks as more acceptable than it did in the past.

“I think it shows a level of acceptance within our community that we are not all happy with,” Benton said.

Sending a message You’ve been warned Police Chief Brian Benton said his department took a proactive approach this year on the fireworks issue.

“We sent out officers to some of the addresses where we had problems last year, and we did basically a warning ahead of time,” Benton said. “We told them we realize we can’t arrest everybody, but because we’ve had a history of problems at

O’Dekirk, a former police officer, said cracking down would send a message that illegal fireworks would no longer be tolerated in the city. He noted that when he was an officer, arrests for fireworks violations were rare.

O’Dekirk pointed to the success of DUI roadblocks on New

Weak showing for Heritage Corridor cause Metra board meets in Joliet

“The Heritage Corridor line … has by far the least amount of train frequency of any of Metra’s 11 service corridors.”

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – One man’s attempt to rally commuters and local officials to push for more trains on the Heritage Corridor line fell short Friday at a Metra board meeting in Joliet.

“I’m a little disappointed, but I’ll drive on,” said Bill Molony said after the meeting that marked the first time the Metra board of directors met in Joliet. Molony, who sits on a Metra Citizen Advisory board, had hoped the occasion would bring out local support for the Heritage Corridor cause.

Molony, a Lockport resident, said the meeting would have been the “perfect opportunity” for Metra riders to push for a fourth commuter train on the Heritage Corridor line, which extends from Joliet to Union Station in Chicago.

Additional services along the route are vital as ridership continues to increase, Molony said.

Metra operates three trains in the morning and three trains in the afternoon on the Heritage Corridor line. That compares to 69 trains a day on the Rock Island District line, which also goes to Joliet but on a different route that does not go through Lockport.

The lack of Metra riders at Friday’s meeting doesn’t suggest a lack of interest, Molony said.

“If you think about it, everyone who uses this train had to be in Chicago for work [at the time of the meeting],” Molony said, noting, however, that he would have liked to have seen

John Greuling President and CEO for Will County Center for Economic Development line,” Waldron said.

John Greuling (right), president and CEO of Will County Center for Economic Development, speaks Friday about an interest of adding train lines to the Heritage Corridor during the start of a Metra board meeting in Joliet. elected officials and mayors there speak on the issue.

Friday’s meeting in Joliet is part of Metra’s goal of reaching out to riders in the six-county Chicago metropolitan area by holding board meetings in more convenient locations.

The one speaker for more Heritage Corridor trains at the meeting was John Greuling, president and CEO of Will County Center for Economic Development. He said there is a need for more transit services throughout the county.

“The Heritage Corridor line … has by far the least amount of train frequency of any of Metra’s 11 service corridors,” Greuling said.

He said the county’s population more than doubled between 1990 and 2014, yet Metra provides services to just eight of the 37 municipalities – Or-

land Park, Tinley Park, University Park, Mokena, New Lenox, Manhattan, Lockport and Joliet. (Orland Park and Tinley Park are primarily in Cook County but stretch into Will.) A station in Romeoville is expected to be completed by 2016, and that would be on the Heritage Corridor line.

Metra Board of Directors Vice Chairman Jack Partelow said board members understand the need for additional trains along the Heritage Corridor line, but they equally understand the challenges faced with funding and with Canadian National Railway, which owns the tracks from 21st Street in Chicago to Jackson Street in Joliet.

“CN, they own the tracks, so

what they say goes,” Partelow said.

CN spokesman Patrick Waldron said Friday that CN officials have had regular conversations with Metra and elected officials about the Heritage Corridor line.

Significant capacity upgrades would be needed, Waldron said in an email, because the corridor is already “very heavily used, with existing Metra commuter trains, Amtrak passenger trains, and freight trains.”

“We would be pleased to discuss the potential for adding this Metra service if government funding is available to make the investments necessary to address the limitations of the infrastructure on this

In other news, the Metra board approved an intergovernmental agreement with Joliet to swap downtown properties – a key component in the city’s plans to build a new transportation center downtown.

Under the agreement, Metra will transfer ownership of its existing signal tower property at Jefferson Street and Art Schultz Drive – the site of the city’s new train station – to Joliet.

The city will own the new station and be responsible for repairs, maintenance, heating, cooling and water services, while Metra will maintain janitorial and housekeeping duties, and be responsible for phone, cable, data and Internet hookups.

Partelow said the new transportation center is good news for both Metra and the city, nothing the new facility helps Metra in its goal of improving quality of services and attracting more riders.

“Whenever you have better facilities, I think that brings more people on,” Partelow said.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A New Lenox man was sentenced Friday to eight years in prison for the 2012 car crash that killed his friend.

Judge Edward Burmila said he cannot understand why Kevin E. Krohn wouldn’t identify the passenger killed in the fiery crash to authorities after Jake Stevens, 22, was burned beyond recognition. Stevens was eventually identified through dental Kevin E. Krohn records. “[The Stevens] family was deluded for three days ... hoping he could just be missing and would turn up alive when the defendant had that information the whole time,” Burmila said. “It inflicted unnecessary pain on the victim’s family. [It’s] cruel to a point I can’t even assess.”

Krohn, 23, who testified ear-

lier that Stevens was like an “older brother” to him, pleaded guilty earlier this year to aggravated driving under the influence. He faced up to 14 years in prison.

About 3:44 a.m. Aug. 25, 2012, Krohn was driving west in a 2002 Dodge Stratus over the hill on Steger Road at 104th Avenue near Frankfort. Police said Krohn lost control and struck a tree, a retaining wall and a large metal phone-switching box on the northeast corner of the intersection, causing the car to burst into flames.

Lab tests later showed Krohn’s blood-alcohol content was above the legal limit and there was marijuana in his system.

Philip Stevens said he felt neither happy or sad by Krohn’s sentence in the death of his son.

“It still doesn’t bring my son back, and now another of the nation’s young men will spend [a part of] his life in the penitentiary gaining nothing for us or himself,” Stevens said.

MINOOKA – Darci Kubinski submitted her resignation Thursday as principal to the Minooka Community High School Board, which approved the request after a closed session.

Last December, the high school’s teachers presented a vote of “no confidence” in Kubinski, as well as in Superintendent Jim Colyott, who was let go from Jim Blanche his position last month.

Friday morning, Kubinski said she is leaving to spend more time with her young children and to help with a family excavating business.

“My time in Minooka, although not without obstacles, has been very enjoyable,” she said, “and I have appreciated being an active part of the Minooka Community High School community. ... There have been a lot of changes recently, however, and a lot of changes to come that have taken a lot of time for me and a lot of time away from my family. These are years with my children that I don’t want to miss.”

Kubinski added that in the past few months she and the teaching staff have built better relationships with each other than they previously had.

Although her official last day at the district has not been decided, she said the hope is to overlap her employment there with a new principal to allow for continuity.

The board Thursday also hired an interim superintendent who will start July 28.

For a salary of $935 a day, Jim Blanche will assume the responsibility for a period of 150 to 170 days during the upcoming year.

Blanche has a long career of school administration, most recently for 10 years as superintendent of the Lombard Elementary School District 44, a K-8 district, from which he

retired two weeks ago. Prior to that, he spent 30 years as principal then superintendent in the Davenport Community School District in Iowa, which is a K-12 district.

After the meeting, Blanche said he is excited about beginning the position in Minooka and that he and the school board thought he would make a good fit in the district.

“My sense is the board is very interested in continuing improvement in the district,” he said, “and that has been my interest in my career.”

Blanche added he will be glad to return to a high school district.

Board president Mike Brozovich said after the meeting that the board felt Blanch was a strong candidate for the position, with strengths in community involvement and building relationships.

“He stood out because of his experience level,” Brozovich added. “He also has a lot of integrity.”

The school board paid $2,000 to a search firm to find an interim superintendent and another $13,500 to find a fulltime permanent superintendent. Brozovich said now that an interim superintendent has been found, the search will begin for a full-time candidate.

Also Thursday, Minooka resident Curt Jebens asked the board for the second meeting in a row how members had decided to pay for two overlapping superintendent salaries for the next year when the district is operating in a deficit. Colyott earns an annual salary, including stipends and other payments, of $210,000 with the district contributing another $19,917 in insurance.

His contract doesn’t expire until June 30, 2015.

“Where’s the money coming from?” Jebens asked.

Brozovich said the board is in the process of putting together a statement to explain its plan for financing the unexpected expense.

The district’s next meeting was changed from Aug. 21 to Aug. 20, to accommodate the school’s open house. The first day of school is Aug. 13.

Woman says she was raped during drug deal Victim drove herself to hospital, notified police after being treated

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – An alleged marijuana dealer is being accused of raping one of his customers Thursday, according to police.

About 11 p.m. a 26-year-old woman reported she’d gone that afternoon to a residence in the Parnell 100 block of An- Samuels derson Street to buy marijuana from Parnell Samuels, 51, according to Will County Sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer.

“During the transaction he attacked her, ripping her clothes off and performing in-

OFF

tercourse with her,” Hoffmeyer said.

The victim told deputies she struggled against Samuels and eventually was able to leave. She drove herself to a local hospital and notified police after being treated, Hoffmeyer said.

Meanwhile, Samuels also had gone to the hospital to be treated for injuries the victim had inflicted on his groin area, Hoffmeyer said. After the victim was interviewed, deputies questioned Samuels at his residence and arrested him on charges of criminal sexual assault and battery.

Will County jail records indicate Samuels had been arrested for misdemeanor domestic battery in December 2012 and again in January 2014.

NEW LENOX – Village officials want to see if traffic conditions can be improved at the Gougar Road railroad crossing with a grade separation.

The New Lenox Village Board last week approved the use of funds provided by Canadian National Railway Co. to conduct a preliminary engineering study. The study will examine the feasibility and cost of a potential overpass or underpass at the Gougar Road railroad crossing.

They also approved HR Green Inc. and Christopher B. Burke Engineering to perform the study.

The construction of an overpass or underpass could cost between $25 million to $30 million, New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann said.

Because the Gougar Road railroad crossing is in Will County jurisdiction, Baldermann said, the village would have to work with county officials, who may seek funding assistance from state and federal agencies.

The village had a voluntary agreement with Canadian National Railway in 2010

to fund the preliminary study.

“It’s [Canadian National Railway’s] money we’re using to do this initial study to determine a cost for an underpass and overpass,” said Baldermann.

He said a grade separation is needed so traffic issues at the railroad crossing can be resolved.

The village has six railroad crossing and there are no grade separations at any of them. At times, Baldermann said, motorists having to travel to Joliet or Frankfort to get to the other side of the tracks if a train is blocking it.

A grade separation would also be important for ambulances and police vehicles, he said.

The number of trains coming through the village has increased about sevenfold, Baldermann said.

“As the economy gets better and more goods get shipped by rail there is going to be more trains,” he said.

Gougar Road runs north and south in New Lenox while the railroad runs east and west. The Gougar Road crossing was chosen for the study because the site provides enough space for an overpass or underpass, Baldermann said.

Divorced husband wants custody of the dog

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Canine custody has become the central issue in a couple’s divorce proceedings.

Susan Barron filed for divorce from Paul Barthel in November 2012. The couple has been married since 2004 and got Pepper, a black lab, in 2009. A petition filed July 7 in Will County Court said Barron has “avoided settling the issue” of Pepper’s custody.

“Most of the assets have been straightened out, but Pepper’s my buddy. I used to walk him every day and I miss him,” Barthel said.

Barron’s attorney, Heather Nosko, said pets are legally viewed as property, just like

make sure nothing happened to him,” Barthel said.

Barthel said he initially hoped the divorce would be resolved with shared custody of Pepper.

“I spent enough money fighting this to buy 50 dogs, but this is the particular dog I care about. I could lose him, but I can’t just give up,” Barthel said.

“These two people simply do not get along and it’s unrealistic for them to share the dog,” Nosko said.

Pepper is expected to be discussed along with other property at the estranged couple’s court hearing next month.

welfare in [divorce] cases,” she said.

Nosko said Pepper was a “family pet” for Barron’s two daughters. Barthel is not the children’s father.

Nosko said Barthel is using Pepper to keep in contact with Barron, who requested an order of protection after Barthel allegedly stole the dog earlier this year. Barthel denies harassing his estranged wife and said he notified police when he found the dog outside his former residence.

“I went by to pick up some other things and called them so it would be clear I was going to look after Pepper since [Barron] wasn’t home to

Interior work by the tenant will begin at that point.

Park district asking Central DISCOUNT CLEANERS AND SHIRT LAUNDRY to maintain tax rate

SAME DAY SERVICE! No Pre-Pay

WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY SPECIAL! Includes: Pants, Blouses, Sweaters, Skirts, Sport Coats, and Polos ...

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Park officials in New Lenox will again ask voters to maintain a tax rate that will go down unless a referendum is passed.

Park officials will ask in the Nov. 4 general election to maintain the New Lenox Community Park District tax rate at roughly .06 cents of taxing authority. The tax rate was raised to that amount to help pay for the Sanctuary Golf Course, but park officials are looking to keep the rate to help pay for neighborhood parks and other construction projects.

“We need money to continue adding facilities because state money is drying up,” said Greg Lewis, the park district’s executive director.

The same referendum failed to pass in the March 18 primary election. At the time, Lewis was worried the language on the ballot confused voters by saying they were looking for a tax increase instead of maintaining the rate. This time, park officials are listing specific projects they plan to complete by keeping the tax rate, he said.

The Nov. 4 ballot will still have language asking voters if they want the tax rate to be increased. Park officials say the

ballot question requires language approved by the Illinois General Assembly, and it cannot be worded any other way.

If voters agree to the referendum, the park district may complete short-term and longterm projects, including: • Development of Taylor Glen, Bristol, Water Chase and Prairie Ridge Parks.

• New playgrounds at Cherry Hill, Laurel Meadows and Spencer Parks.

• Fishing Pier at Sharon’s Bay Park.

• Addition of shade systems at Hibernia and Palmer Valley Parks.

• Improvements and upgrades at existing facilities.

If the referendum fails in November, it will result in a roughly $755,000 annual reduction in available funding to maintain and expand parks and facilities, park officials said.

“This referendum question affects everyone: athletic associations, clubs, the business community as well as our families that currently use our facilities,” wrote Brian Fischer, park board president, in a letter to residents. “Everyone wants your park district to add, update and maintain facilities but we all must realize that this comes at a cost.”

• FIREWORKS Continued from page 4 Year’s Eve and other holidays to deal with drunken driving.

O’Dekirk said he’d like to see fireworks offenders treated in a similar fashion.

“They know it’s illegal. Yet they show no regard for the people around them with kids or pets or who have to work the next morning,” O’Dekirk said. “People are tired of it and I don’t blame them. It’s unacceptable.”

City Attorney Jeff Plyman said Joliet’s fireworks ordinance, which has mirrored state statute since 2008, already is very tough.

“Illinois is a very restrictive state. You can barely burn a match here legally,” Plyman said. “What the state prohibits, the city prohibits, so the ordinance is there.”

And while the state constitution prohibits cities from creating offenses that punishable by jail time for an ordinance, the city could create an additional criminal misdemeanor to give police another enforcement alternative, Plyman said.

The city’s current ordinance gives police several options, Plyman said, including issuing a compliance ticket with a fine up to $150, making a physical arrest, or treating an incident as a state criminal offense, with a fine up to $750.

Jazz trumpeter Lionel Ferbos dies at 103

By STACEY PLAISANCE The Associated Press NEW ORLEANS – Centenarian jazz musician Lionel Ferbos died Saturday at his home in New Orleans, just days after celebrating his 103rd birthday on July 17 with friends and family in the French Quarter.

His granddaughter, Lori Schexnayder, said the trumpeter she called “paw-paw” died peacefully, surrounded by friends and family.

Ferbos performed all over New Orleans and its suburbs for decades. His ability to read music made him an in-demand

musician for gigs that took him to parks, schools, churches, dance halls and even prisons.

He also performed at his 102nd birthday party and at every New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival until this past year.

Ferbos was believed to be the oldest working jazz musician, performing regularly until last year. He was also the last living member of the WPA band, which was formed during the Depression by laborers in the city’s Works Progress Administration.

He had recently become too weak to hold his trumpet, but family members would occasionally hold it to his mouth

so that he could blow into it, Schexnayder said.

“He missed it so much, but his arms just weren’t strong enough to hold it up,” she said.

Early on, Ferbos performed with New Orleans society jazz bands at well-known venues such as the Pelican Club among a string of clubs along Rampart Street – a downtown strip that in the 1920s and ’30s was the epicenter of the city’s bustling black entertainment district.

He performed with Walter Pichon and Captain John Handy in the ‘30s, earning little more than a dollar a night. He also performed with saxophonist Harold Dejan and trumpet-

ers Herbert Leary, Gene Ware and Sidney Desvignes, as well as blues singer Mamie Smith.

“He was very advanced and technical for his time,” said Dixieland jazz musician Lars Edegran, who performed with Ferbos for decades with the New Orleans Ragtime Orchestra, a group formed in the 1960s to revive the old music unearthed in the jazz archives at Tulane University.

“You needed advanced music reading skills to play in the orchestra, and Lionel was a very well-trained musician,” Edegran said. “He was very professional on stage, a beloved person, and there’s just

nobody else like him.”

Ferbos had a unique voice and a knack for soft, sentimental hits like ‘When I Grow Too Old to Dream” and “The Beautiful Dreamer.”

Though he performed almost exclusively in New Orleans, Ferbos did make eight tours of Europe with the ragtime orchestra. He was also part of the original stage band of the off-Broadway hit “One Mo’ Time,” though he dropped out of show in the ’70s when it moved to New York. He didn’t want to leave his hometown New Orleans, where he met his wife, a Creole seamstress named Margarite Gilyot.

with many friends. Lucille also had a passion for traveling, collecting countless matchbooks from all the places she and Jerry had been, but most of all, she loved her family, spending time with them was her greatest joy in life.

Funeral service for Lucille Fonte will be 2:00p.m., Tuesday, July 22, 2014, at Forsythe Funeral Home. Visitation will be the same day from 12:00 noon until the time of service. Interment St. Joseph Cemetery, Joliet.

STATE Deserving of a second chance?

Given life term, drug offender from southern Illinois hopes for clemency

By SHARON COHEN The Associated Press GREENVILLE – From the very start, Scott Walker refused to believe he would die in prison.

Arrested and jailed at 25, then sent to prison more than two years later, Walker couldn’t imagine spending his life behind bars for dealing drugs. He told himself this wasn’t the end, that someday he’d be released. But the years passed, his appeals failed and nothing changed.

Now, after 17½ years as an inmate, Walker may have his best shot at freedom. The Obama administration – responding to mounting concerns about decades of harsh penalties and overcrowded prisons – recently announced it will consider clemency for possibly thousands of nonviolent federal inmates, most drug offenders.

Walker hopes this new offer holds the key to his cell door.

His lawyers are optimistic, too, noting in a July letter to the Justice Department that he meets all the criteria for possible release, including serving a sentence that would have been substantially lower if imposed today.

Add to that support from an unlikely corner: Walker’s trial judge, who’s on record urging the president to reduce the sentence to 20 years. He calls a life term “excessive and disproportionate” and said Walker’s time in prison has been “a handbook on self-improvement.”

Scott Walker’s story reflects a debate now intensifying in political and legal circles over decades of get-tough laws that have jammed America’s prisons with drug offenders, produced a growing outcry for sentencing reform and posed perhaps the trickiest question of all: How do you make sure the punishment fits the crime?

Walker said he knows he

Scott Walker speaks during an interview June 20 at the federal prison in Greenville. Walker was sentenced to life without parole on drug charges, but now has a chance for clemency because of a recent announcement by the Obama administration that it will consider the release of nonviolent drug offenders like him. did wrong and should have paid a price. But surely not for the rest of his life.

“From the time you’re a kid ... you hear America is the land of redemption, the land of liberty and the land of justice,” he said, sitting in a conference room at the Federal Correctional Institution here in southern Illinois. “Where’s the land of mercy? Is there mercy for people who have made mistakes?”

Walker pauses, then adds: “I believe everyone deserves a second chance in life.”

Looking back, Walker said he’s ashamed of what he did in his teens and 20s.

“I find it very hard to relate to the person that I once was, which makes it all the more difficult for me to live with my past mistakes,” he wrote in a 2009 letter to one of his lawyers. “Age and experience have given me new values, hopes, dreams and goals. ...

This is something we don’t comprehend when we are young.”

With straight brown hair parted down the middle framing his unlined face, Walker looks a decade younger than 42. Speaking with a slight twang, he remembers being so naive he thought he could be

arrested for drug dealing only if caught in the act.

Growing up in southern Illinois, Walker started using marijuana around age 14, then graduated to meth, becoming a hard-core addict. He played guitar in a band, and drugs, he said, were an accessory to his rock-’n’-roll lifestyle.

“Scott was a very strongwilled young man,” said Keith Shelton, his stepfather. “He did not listen. He didn’t want to listen. He felt like most kids do. ... You’re made out of steel. You’re never going to get caught. Things are always going to be the way you want them to turn out.”

By his late teens, when his family moved to Arizona, Walker began trafficking marijuana, meth and LSD, carrying drugs to Illinois, where he funneled his profits into a $350-to-$400-a-week meth habit.

He became part of a loose-knit ring, sometimes selling drugs, sometimes enlisting others, mostly childhood friends.

His mother, Brenda, recalled knocking on her son’s door during the peak of his meth use, alarmed to see him rail thin. “I looked at him and said, ‘What are you doing?

What is wrong with you?’ ” She took custody of his infant

daughter – the child’s mother approved – and with her husband, raised the little girl as their own. “I think she kept me sane,” Shelton said.

After his arrest Nov. 12, 1996 as part of a drug conspiracy, Walker’s troubles only deepened, partly because of some bad decisions.

He didn’t cooperate with authorities because he didn’t want his friends to suffer.

Informal discussions about a plea never went anywhere.

Walker, unaware he was facing life, chose to go trial, despite overwhelming evidence against him. Then his lawyer withdrew because of a conflict of interest. When a public defender took over, trial preparations had begun and it was too late for a plea.

Judge J. Phil Gilbert followed mandatory sentencing guidelines that added years for aggravating factors such as the amount of drugs, his organizing role (which included enlisting minors in the ring) and previous misdemeanors.

The result: a sentence of life with no chance for parole.

Gilbert told Walker while he needed to be punished severely, “whether this is the right sentence or not, is not for me to judge.”

Walker, later described by the judge as a middleman in the ring, was the only one to receive life.

Whether Scott Walker goes free ultimately depends on the president.

A recommendation from the office of the pardon attorney in the Justice Department will be forwarded to the White House.

Walker’s lawyers said he meets all six criteria for release, including a good prison record and having served at least 10 years. In their petition, they’ve included a plan for post-prison life. He’d live with his sister, Angela, in her family’s house in Illinois. A pastor, a longtime friend, has

written commitments from two trucking companies who’d consider hiring Walker.

“I believe that he is ready to re-enter society and contribute as a law-abiding and tax-paying citizen and devoted son, grandson, and father,” wrote Darin Schultz, one of his lawyers, seeking a commutation to 20 years. If the petition is granted and Walker is given credit for good behavior while incarcerated, he could be released soon.

Walker’s bid comes amid years of deepening reservations by the public and elected officials about tough drug sentences. From 2009 to 2013, 40 states – many facing tight budgets and overcrowded prisons – took steps to ease their drug laws, according to a Pew Research Center analysis.

On the federal level, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder has urged drug sentencing reform but proposals have stalled in Congress despite bipartisan support. Tens of thousands of federal drug offenders also may be eligible for early release as a result of a decision Friday by the U.S. Sentencing Commission. The panel, which voted this year to substantially lower recommended sentences for those incarcerated for drug cases, unanimously agreed to retroactively apply that change to those already behind bars.

Sitting in prison looking out at lush farm fields, Walker ponders a future on the other side.

“I’m always thinking that I’m going home tomorrow,” he said with a laugh. “I think it’s probably the healthiest way you can live.”

He said he tries to tamp down “rosy pictures” he has about being free, realizing “life ain’t all that wonderful at times. ... I have to remind myself that not everything is so easy. I try to stay grounded and think about once I’m released.”

He pauses.

“If I’m released.”

Illinois law a boost to ex-offenders seeking jobs

CHICAGO – Ex-offenders in Illinois won’t have to disclose their criminal pasts until private employers first evaluate their job skills, under a new law signed Saturday by Gov. Pat Quinn.

Some who attended the bill signing ceremony at St. Michael Missionary Baptist Church on Chicago’s West Side likened the change to the biblical story of the prodigal son, whose father welcomed him back into the family fold even though he had wasted his inheritance by living extravagantly.

“This is the culmination of hope for so many individuals,” said State Rep. Rita Mayfield, a Waukegan Democrat.

The bill, passed this spring by the Legislature, makes Illinois the fifth state to bar private employers from requiring the disclosure of a criminal history or a criminal background check until an applicant is determined qualified for a position. Some construction jobs, emergency medical jobs and security jobs are exempt. It takes effect Jan. 1.

Illinois already bars state agencies from asking about criminal histories on initial government job applications, an executive order issued by Quinn last year, and a report by the Illinois Task Force on Inventorying Employment Restrictions followed with the recommendation that private employers should follow suit.

around 2 a.m. Saturday, crashed into several trees and landed in the Park District quarry.

The driver, 21-year-old Michael T. Szot of Geneva, was arrested after his release from a hospital.

He is charged with aggravated driving under the influence of alcohol and reckless homicide.

Police and Fire Department divers recovered the two passengers, who were pronounced dead at a hospital. They were both 21 years old.

Mandela, who would have been 96 on Friday, died in December 2013. The Illinois General Assembly officially designated the roadway to honor Mandela. The Illinois Department of Transportation will put up signs at a series of intersections.

Peoria murder trial focuses on Internet searches

PEORIA – The Internet search history on a computer belonging to a former Baptist missionary accused of killing his wife included queries on various ways to kill someone, said an investigator testifying at the man’s murder trial.

Nathan Leuthold is accused of shooting his 39-year-old wife, Denise, in their Peoria home on

Valentine’s Day in 2013. Prosecutors allege Leuthold wanted his wife dead so he could pursue an affair.

Leuthold has pleaded not guilty and said he found his wife’s body after a break-in.

Leuthold’s attorney countered Friday’s testimony by saying that the computer was not protected by a password and anyone could have used it to make those searches.

The queries included how to kill a person by electrocution and injection as well as methods of suicide, according to William Lynn, a Bloomington detective.

Feds sending more agents to fight Chicago violence

CHICAGO – Federal officials are sending more agents to Chicago to help the police department fight violence after the city experienced a bloody July 4 holiday weekend that left more than a dozen people dead and dozens

more injured.

The Bureau of Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives is assigning seven more agents to work in the city, upping the total number of agents to 52, to “bring more resources to Chicago to combat some of the gun violence.”

Federal authorities have been discussing ways that FBI and other federal agents could help combat gun violence and street gangs – major reasons why Chicago led the nation in homicides in 2013.

A Department of Justice news release also said the FBI has temporarily assigned during the summer 20 agents to help the 100 agents already in Chicago.

In the release, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder linked the influx to a recent round-table discussion on youth violence that he participated in with Mayor Rahm Emanuel.

“The Department of Justice will continue to do everything in its power to help the city of Chicago

combat gun violence,” Holder said in a statement.

SIU outlines steps to prevent sexual assault

CARBONDALE – Students, faculty and staff at Southern Illinois University will undergo more rigorous programs on sexual assault awareness and prevention.

That’s part of the university’s response to federal mandates requiring colleges to address sexual assaults.

Benjamin Newman is SIU police chief. He said the department has investigated one sex assault this year. There were four cases last year and six in 2012.

The Carbondale Southern Illinoisan reported that under the changes, incoming freshmen will participate in an online awareness program.

Once on campus, student training will focus on how to help a friend who is an assault victim.

NATION BRIEFS HIV diagnosis rate fell by third in U.S. over decade NEW YORK – The rate of HIV infections diagnosed in the United States each year fell by one-third over the past decade, a government study finds. Experts celebrated it as hopeful news that the AIDS epidemic may be slowing in the U.S. “It’s encouraging,” said Patrick Sullivan, an Emory University AIDS researcher who was not involved in the study.

The study was released online Saturday by the Journal of the American Medical Association.

The findings: 16 out of every 100,000 people ages 13 and older were newly diagnosed with HIV in 2011, a steady decline from 24 out of 100,000 people in 2002.

Declines were seen in the rates for men, women, whites, blacks, Hispanics, heterosexuals, injection drug users and most age groups. The only group in which diagnoses increased was gay and bisexual men, the study found.

Death puts focus on caffeine powder dangers COLUMBUS, Ohio – A few weeks before their prom king’s death, students at an Ohio high school had attended an assembly on narcotics that warned about the dangers of heroin and prescription painkillers.

But it was one of the world’s most widely accepted drugs that killed Logan Stiner – a powdered form of caffeine so potent that

U.S. communities diverge on child migrant response

as little as a single teaspoon can be fatal.

The teen’s sudden death in May has focused attention on the unregulated powder and drawn a warning from federal health authorities urging consumers to avoid it. An autopsy found Stiner had a lethal amount of caffeine in his system when he died May 27 at his home in LaGrange, Ohio.

Stiner, a wrestler, had more than 70 micrograms of caffeine per milliliter of blood in his system, as much as 23 times the amount found in a typical coffee or soda drinker, according to the county coroner.

Lightning a threat to N.D. saltwater disposal sites WILLISTON, N.D. – Three massive fires since the beginning of June have highlighted the threat lightning poses in the North Dakota oil patch, and in each case it was tanks that store the toxic saltwater associated with drilling – not the oil wells or drilling rigs – were to blame.

The lightning-sparked fires destroyed the groups of silo-like storage tanks at the three locations, which are among more than 440 sites in North Dakota where so-called saltwater is stored before being pumped into permanent disposal sites miles underground. In each case, the fires burned for days, spewing noxious black smoke into the air and literally salting the earth.

– Wire reports

The Associated Press DALLAS – As thousands of unaccompanied immigrant children have poured into South Texas, community leaders from Dallas to Los Angeles to Syracuse, New York, have offered to set up temporary shelters to relieve the Army bases, holding cells and converted warehouses at the border.

The outreach offers stand in sharp contrast to other places around the country, where some protested having immigrants from Central America come to their towns while the nation’s leaders attempt to find solutions to the issue.

In Dallas County, Judge Clay Jenkins has offered three county buildings that could hold as many as 2,000 migrants at one time.

“These are just like your and my children, except that they’re scared and they’re dirty and they’re tired and they’re terrified,” Jenkins said. “We can take some pressure off those border troops and let them get out of the childcare business and back into the border security business.”

More than 57,000 unaccompanied children have been apprehended since October, the Border Patrol said. Threefourths of them are from Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador, and said they are fleeing pervasive gang violence and crushing poverty.

By the time they have reached South Texas, they have survived a treacherous journey through drug-war-torn Mexico.

President Obama has asked Congress to authorize $3.7 billion in emergency spending to increase enforcement at the border, build more facilities to temporarily house the unaccompanied minors, and beef up legal aid. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest

Demonstrators hold signs and flags Friday outside the Mexican Consulate in Houston. The sharp contrast in how Americans are reacting to the immigrant influx mirrors the divisiveness seen in Congress as the nation’s leaders attempt to find solutions to an issue that could worsen in the coming months. has said the government will entitle due process but will not guarantee a “welcome to this country with open arms.”

In the meantime, from California to Massachusetts, communities are offering to build or rehab facilities to take in child migrants until they connect with relatives, plea asylum cases or enter into foster care. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services is responsible for ensuring one of those three outcomes before it deports any minor.

Demonstrators in Murrieta, California, made national headlines for their strong opposition to the child migrants.

But while protesters frustrated efforts to process immigrant families there, other California communities have been encouraging agencies to build shelters and start programs to assist unaccompanied children caught crossing the border.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti has been working with federal officials and local nonprofits to try to provide shelter and legal representation for the children, noting that many are likely planning to reunite with their parents.

In San Francisco, county officials are also looking at ways

to help provide medical, mental health, educational and legal services once the children are released from federal custody.

Thousands of miles from where the children are entering the country, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick said Friday that HHS officials will review Camp Edwards military base on Cape Cod and Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee to see if either is suitable for holding as many as 1,000 children.

And Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner wrote in a letter to Obama that her city would “welcome the opportunity to provide shelter” as part of a loose network of U.S. cities that have traditionally taken in and resettled refugees.

“We’re not telling the political leaders how they longterm resolve the crisis,” said Rich Eychaner, the founder and director of an eponymous nonprofit aiming to find foster homes in Iowa for 1,000 migrant children. “We’re simply saying there are a lot of resources, there are a lot of big hearts, there are a lot of big homes in Iowa, and we have space, and we have the capacity to do this.”

Divisions in Mideast cloud cease-fire talks between Hamas, Israel

By MAGGIE MICHAEL The Associated Press

AP file photo

Palestinian Hamas security guards walk outside the Rafah border crossing Aug. 20, 2013, between southern Gaza Strip and Egypt. Even as the death toll mounts in the Gaza Strip, attempts to broker a cease-fire between Hamas and Israel have so far run aground, in part because they have become mired in the deep schism between Mideast countries. initiative remains the initiative on the table” with international support.

Speaking next to visiting French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Shukri said there was no intention to amend the proposal, which he said meets the demands of both sides.

The tensions are rooted in the turmoil in Egypt over the past year. Hamas spawned off the Muslim Brotherhood, which Egypt’s government has branded a terrorist organization since the military’s ouster of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi last summer. Egyptian authorities have been cracking down hard on Morsi’s Brotherhood and accuse Hamas of helping Islamic militants waging a campaign of violence in Egypt, a claim the group denies.

Egypt also has tightened the closure on Gaza by destroying smuggling tunnels under the border that were largely propping up the strip’s economy. That has thrown Hamas into a financial crisis.

Turkey and Qatar were also close allies of Morsi and the Brotherhood – and the result has been deep tensions

between them and the government of Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi, the former army chief that ousted Morsi.

The cease-fire plan put forth by Egypt now is virtually identical to one presented by Morsi during the last round of Gaza fighting. At the time, both sides accepted the accord, and Morsi was lauded for his mediation. Now, however, there is not only deep mistrust in the way, but also increased Hamas expectations for an end to the stifling blockade.

Badran told The Associated Press that Hamas wants the permanent opening of the Rafah crossing with Egypt, an arrangement to allow Gazans to pray in Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem and the release of political prisoners held by Israel.

Hamas and its allies Qatar and Turkey also are pressing for the opening of an airport and seaport in Gaza under international administration.

“We have to impose conditions and guarantees to prevent the recurring of this assault and lift this inhumane

and illogical blockade on Gaza,” Qatari Foreign Minister Khalid al-Attiya said in a speech last week.

Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has said the blockade must be lifted. “If a tunnel is closed, an airport has to be opened. There has to be a breathing space. The situation now is beyond a ghetto,” he said in an interview Thursday with Turkey’s NTV television.

However, Egypt – as well as Hamas’ rival Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas – is wary of any moves that would give Hamas breathing room and strengthen its hold on Gaza.

“There is no way Egypt is going to let the crossing open for Hamas to come and go without control,” an Egyptian foreign ministry official said.

He said Egypt could agree to international observers – or forces from Abbas’ Palestinian Authority – controlling the crossing, as long as they are on the Gaza side.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to journalists.

Extremists kill more than 100 in Nigeria MAIDUGURI, Nigeria – Boko Haram extremists have killed more than 100 people and hoisted their black and white flag over a town left undefended by Nigeria’s military, just 53 miles from the northeastern state capital of Maiduguri, a civil defense spokesman and a human rights advocate said Saturday.

Hundreds of villagers in another northeast area, Askira Uba, are fleeing after receiving letters from the Islamic extremists threatening to attack and take over their areas, spokesman Abbas Gava of the Nigerian Vigilante Group said.

Survivors said Saturday that insurgents fired rocket-propelled grenades and lobbed homemade bombs into homes, and then gunned down people as they tried to escape the fires in the attack on Damboa town launched before dawn Friday.

Gunmen attack Egypt troops, killing 21 CAIRO – Gunmen armed with rocket-propelled grenades attacked a border guard post Saturday in Egypt’s western desert near Libya, killing 21 troops, the military said.

The attack targeted a checkpoint in the western desert governorate of Wadi el-Gedid, on the Farafra Oasis Road, more than 310 miles from Cairo, according to a statement on the official Facebook page of Brig. Gen. Mohammed Samir, a military spokesman.

Farafra is the country’s western most oasis, near the border with Libya.

Samir said one of the gunmen’s rockets struck a cache of weapons at the checkpoint, sparking an explosion. He said the attack killed 21 troops and forces later seized two car bombs before they exploded.

He identified the gunmen as “terrorists,” but did not elaborate.

CAIRO – Even as the death toll mounts in the Gaza Strip, attempts to broker a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel have so far run aground – in part because they have become mired in the deep divisions between Mideast countries.

At the center of the problems is the bitter enmity between Egypt and its Gulf allies like Saudi Arabia on one side and Gaza’s Hamas rulers and its allies, Turkey and Qatar, on the other.

An Egyptian cease-fire proposal quickly fell apart the past week when Israel accepted it but Hamas rejected it. Hamas demanded greater guarantees for the lifting of the blockade of Gaza, enforced

by Israel and Egypt. The Egyptian proposal called for both sides to halt hostilities unconditionally – dangling only a promise of further talks that could address the closure.

Qatar-based Hamas spokesman Hossam Badran described Cairo’s cease-fire proposal as “all but dead,” calling it a “surrender” to Israel.

He and other Hamas officials said they were instead turning to Qatar, which they said had an initiative that would address their demands, including release of prisoners and giving unfettered access to the densely populated strip.

That quickly sparked accusations by Egypt that Hamas’ allies were undermining it.

“The Hamas-Qatar-Turkey axis is trying to abort Egypt’s role, which is the region bulwark in the face of a plot aimed at fragmenting the region into rival mini-states,” Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shukri told reporters Thursday night, just before Israel announced the start of its ground assault into Gaza.

Shukri said Egypt is in a “very tense and difficult” relationship with Hamas, where reaching common ground is nearly “impossible.”

On Saturday, Shukri said he knows of no other initiative and that “the Egyptian

Iraq’s Christians flee city of Mosul

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, July 20, 2014

34

BAGHDAD – The message played over loudspeakers gave the Christians of Iraq’s second-largest city until midday Saturday to make a choice: convert to Islam, pay a tax or face death.

By the time the deadline

imposed by the Islamic State extremist group expired, the vast majority of Christians in Mosul had made their decision.

They fled.

Iraq was home to an estimated 1 million Christians before the 2003 U.S.-led invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein.

Since then, militants have

frequently targeted Christians across the country, bombing their churches and killing clergymen.

Under such pressures, many Christians have left the country.

Church officials now put the community at around 450,000.

Flowers are placed Saturday on a plane engine at the crash site of a Malaysia Airlines jet near the village of Hrabove, eastern Ukraine.

Monitors try to secure Ukraine plane crash site The ASSOCIATED PRESS HRABOVE, Ukraine – International monitors moved gingerly Saturday through fields reeking of the decomposing corpses that fell from a Malaysian airliner shot down over rebel-held eastern Ukraine, trying to secure the sprawling site in hopes that a credible investigation can be conducted.

But before inspectors ever reach the scene, doubts arose about whether evidence was being compromised.

The Ukrainian government and separatist rebels accuse each other of firing a surfaceto-air missile at the Boeing 777 with almost 300 people aboard. Many see the hand of Russia, either for its suspected support of the insurgents or perhaps for firing the missile itself.

The government in Kiev said militiamen had removed 38 bodies from the crash site near the Russian border and taken them to the rebel-held city of Donetsk.

It said the remains were transported with help from specialists with distinct Russian accents.

The rebels are also “seeking large transports to carry away plane fragments to Russia,” the Ukrainian government said Saturday.

In Donetsk, separatist leader Alexander Borodai denied that any bodies had been transferred or that the rebels had in any way interfered with the work of observers.

He said he encouraged the involvement of the international community in assisting with the cleanup before the bodies deteriorate further.

Ukraine called on Moscow to insist that the pro-Russia rebels grant international experts the ability to conduct a thorough, impartial investigation into the downing of the plane, echoing a demand that President Barack Obama issued a day earlier from Washington.

The jet flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur carried 298 people from 13 countries.

More than half of them were Dutch.

On Saturday, in the village of Hrabove, one body was seen still strapped into an airline seat, with bare toes peeking out under long jeans. Another body was flung face-up into a field of blue flowers.

Treatment of the victims’ remains, left in the open air under a hot summer sun punctuated by bursts of rain, provoked outrage and distress.

“The news we got today of the bodies being dragged around, of the site not being treated properly, has really created a shock in the Netherlands,” Dutch Foreign Minister Frans Timmermans told the Ukrainian president in Kiev. “People are angry, are furious at what they hear.”

Timmermans demanded the culprits be found.

“Once we have the proof, we will not stop until the people are brought to justice,” he said.

Avoid Porter Stansberry advice and IBM’s stock Dear Mr. Berko: Please tell me your opinion of Porter Stansberry, whose newsletter predicts the immediate collapse of the dollar and the stock market and recommends gold and silver.

Should I buy this letter and follow his other advice, which is available only from this publication?

Also, tell me your opinion of IBM. I am thinking of buying 55 shares for my retirement account. – TR, Joliet, Ill. Dear TR: Porter Stansberry has been predicting the collapse of the dollar and the collapse of the market since 1999.

He also predicted that the price of oil would reach $360 a barrel by mid-2013.

Stansberry’s newsletter is a perfect fit if you are intellectually vacant, have a good fourth-grade education, are bereft of common sense, speak only pig Latin, have an IQ of 67 or were born on Pluto.

This over-chubby fraudster sells a provocatively written publication about real estate, commodities, the stock market and economic theory so replete with deceit and misinformation that it borders on criminal negligence.

The investment advice of this articulate shill is so masterfully egregious that the Securities and Exchange Commission fined him $1.5 million in 2007 for perpetrating a “scheme to defraud public investors by disseminating false information in several Internet newsletters.”

The courts rejected his First Amendment defense, saying, “Stansberry’s conduct undoubtedly involved deliberate fraud, making statements that he knew to be false.”

And that’s what Americans are exposed to when they listen to many financial advertisements on Sirius XM

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Radio. American investors are no greedier than other investors, though they are, by orders of magnitude, infinitely easier to hornswoggle.

Stansberry and thousands of investment incompetents who litter the airwaves, dirty your mail and post misleading advertisements in the media have caused irreparable damage to large numbers of investors.

I’ve been in this business over 50 years; I’ve watched a lot of water go over the dam, and it’s never been more polluted.

I would guess that 40 percent of licensed salespeople selling investment advice are devious, greedy, articulate incompetents.

And 35 percent of those who are licensed to peddle investment products are just greedy and articulate.

Of the remaining 25 percent, half are basically honest and as dumb as glue, and the other half are just basically honest. It’s tough for civilians to get a fair shake with their retirement portfolios.

Brokerage firms hire representatives based foremost on their sales ability, provide four months of financial training and then set them loose like hungry Dobermans after red meat.

Sadly, the overseeing SEC is a bureaucratic farce run by Mary Schapiro, who earned $21 million in her last year as chairwoman of a feckless Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in 2008 before assuming her SEC title.

Last year, individual retirement account assets reached $6.5 trillion, and brokerages such as Royal Alliance, Ameriprise Financial,

IAA Financial and Primerica, as well as smaller firms, have sliced and diced retirees with dreadful products and outrageous commissions.

That’s par for the portfolio, which is why I laud a proposal by Jack Bogle (founder of The Vanguard Group) to create a federal body that would approve retirement products to ensure greater oversight of the brokerage industry.

There is too much crap out there, and most investors can’t distinguish it from Shinola.

I like IBM! I’ve always liked IBM. But I don’t like the stock, which has been dead in the water since late 2011.

IBM’s dividend record is expialidocious, increasing fivefold in the past decade, though revenues seem to have hit a firewall and stalled at $100 billion.

Share earnings have tripled in that time frame, and book value has doubled, though primarily because of IBM’s prodigious stock buyback program, which reduced outstanding shares from 1.6 billion to 1 billion this year.

The huge cost of buying back 600 million shares has taken a toll on IBM’s creditworthiness. With debt climbing to a record $44 billion, IBM’s credit rating could be lowered from AA- to A+.

Revenues have fallen for nine consecutive quarters.

Management has laid off 50,000 employees since 2005.

And there seems to be a lot of fatigue in the IBM boardroom.

This company needs an industrial-sized enema, pronto.

Don’t buy it.

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Public benefits when candidates visit with voters Illinois’ gubernatorial election will be an expensive, hard-fought campaign between a vulnerable incumbent and a newcomer challenger.

We hope that the campaign visits we’re starting to see throughout the state by Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican challenger Bruce Rauner will continue, and give voters the opportunity to see and hear from the candidates.

In a visit to DeKalb this week, Rauner pledged to rebuild the Republican Party in Illinois and talked of how he hopes to transform the state’s government and business climate.

Rauner has the easier case to make. Illinois is in financial trouble. Its public pension system is underfunded by about $100 billion. Illinois unemployment rate was measured at 7.1 percent in June – still higher than most other states, though down a full percentage point in the past two months.

Rauner can truthfully say that Democrats have presided over this mess for more than a decade, including the past six years under Quinn.

Their solutions have been a personal income tax increase that costs the typical taxpayer $1,000 more a year, a pension reform bill that appears in jeopardy of being ruled unconstitutional, and spending plans that never seem to shrink enough.

Although Quinn is the one with the spotty record, Rauner faces questions too, including about his income tax returns, a subject on which the attack ads have already begun.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Rauner’s occupation as a venture capitalist makes for a very complex return, and he has released the basic returns for 2010, 2011 and 2012. The documents show he made $53 million in 2012. He says he has paid all taxes owed and if he is elected he will place his assets in a blind trust.

The ads about Rauner seize on a Chicago Tribune analysis that showed Rauner did not pay Medicaid or Social Security payroll taxes in 2010 and 2011, despite earning a combined $55 million in those years.

Quinn has called for Rauner to release more details about his income sources.

While Rauner is attacked for being rich, he hits Quinn hard for his management of government and the ongoing investigation into the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, a $55 million program that Quinn started in the weeks before the 2010 election and that now is the subject of a federal and state investigation.

Rauner already has been to Joliet this election cycle. We encourage Quinn to visit as well.

What are their respective messages? Why should voters give either one of them a chance? Illinois’ governorship is a powerful office, and our state faces serious obstacles.

The election remains months away, and voters can only benefit when those who seek to lead them actually visit – to see where they live, answer their questions and talk about the issues that affect their communities.

Shhhh - Obamacare a success Please keep this quiet.

I’m all for a more civil society, especially in Washington, and I don’t want to anger people. (Whisper) “Obamacare has succeeded.”

In April, we learned there were 8 million signups on the online health care exchanges during open enrollment, far surpassing White House estimates. In addition, there were more than 3 million people newly enrolled on Medicaid and 3 million young adults on their parents’ health plans.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has not yet publicly acknowledged this reality. After saying in a press conference that Congress should “pull [Obamacare] out root and branch and start over,” McConnell was asked specifically whether Kynect, the online Kentucky health exchange created and paid for under Obamacare, should be dismantled.

VIEWS Donna Brazile He responded: “I think that’s unconnected to my comments about the overall question.” McConnell knows Kynect and Obamacare are one and the same, and his attempts at isolating one from the other reveals the Republican predicament.

If they repeal Obamacare, they take away the benefits of Obamacare – like Kynect, which has signed up 413,000 Kentuckians in health care plans.

Today we know the outcomes of health plans for people newly enrolled on Kynect and other exchanges.

These results, like poet Carl Sandberg’s fog, came “on little cat feet.” It rolled in all at once, quietly, from several independent sources.

The Commonwealth Fund is a private foundation

that “supports independent research on health care issues.” A recent survey found that 78 percent of newly insured people are happy with their new plans. And (again, shhh!) 74 percent of newly insured Republicans are happy with theirs.

The New York Times, reporting the Commonwealth Fund’s findings, discovered: “Even 77 percent of people who had insurance before – including members of the much-publicized group whose plans got canceled last year – were happy with their new coverage.”

The purpose of the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) was to reduce the number of Americans without health insurance.

Gallup polling, after 45,000 interviews with adults over three months, finds the uninsured rate dropped to 13.7 percent from 17 percent at the end of 2013. A Gallup

Lockout of religion leads to severe dip in morality To the Editor: “We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passion unbridled by morality and religion.” U.S. President John Adams, in 1798.

President Ronald Reagan spoke these words in 1984: “Without God, there is no virtue, because there is no prompting of the conscience. ... If we ever forget that we are One Nation Under God, then we will be a nation gone under.”

We constantly lament the news every day that informs us of more murders, rapes, robberies and other terrible crimes too vicious to comprehend.

In desperation we cry out to our government: “Pass more gun control legislation. Send in the National Guard. Enact stiffer penalties for crimes!”

“Make sure there are no crosses seen on public land.

Make sure there is no teaching in our public schools that might have come from the Bible. Be sure the name of God or Jesus isn’t mentioned anywhere in the classroom or on school grounds, or (especially) at graduation ceremonies.”

It surely is a no-brainer there is some connection between increasing crime and increasing purging of religious teaching, but our government officials don’t seem to get it! There is an excellent new book, “God Less America” by Todd Starnes, which documents real stories of the at-

tack on traditional values in our country. This is a must-read for every American concerned about this issue and is available at bookstores and public libraries.

Rather than complaining and wringing our hands in helplessness, everyone can do something by voting for candidates who have solid moral values and are willing to work to turn our country around.

As a regular poll worker it is disheartening to sit all day and see only a few concerned people cast a vote. November is coming!

Survey finds fewer working-age adults that are uninsured • BRAZILE Continued from page 36 headline reads: “Uninsured Rate Continues to Drop Across Age Groups.”

The Commonwealth Fund’s survey found that more than half (54 percent) said their new plan included all or most of the doctors they wanted.

Sixty percent of the newly insured said they had gone to a hospital or filled a prescription. A majority of those (60 percent) said they could not have afforded their visit or prescriptions without their new plan.

Commonwealth’s takeaway: “Significantly fewer working-age adults are uninsured than just before the sign-up period began, and many have used their new

coverage to obtain needed care.”

Well, yes. But. But ... what about the president usurping Congress’ power and taking action on his own? Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, is suing the president for doing what the House wanted to do just last year – delaying the employer mandate. Boehner has called Obama’s actions “imperial” and other scary names.

The employer mandate is the part of Obamacare that requires employers with more than 50 employees to offer health insurance or face a penalty.

Boehner himself, along with 229 Republicans, voted to delay the employer mandate this time last year. Boehner even wrote a letter to Obama that admitted the mandate

“cannot be implemented within the current time frame.”

So why are they suing Obama? They say he hasn’t the power to postpone the employer mandate.

White House lawyers defend this delay on the same legal authority President George W. Bush cited when taking similar executive actions. In fact, Bush’s former secretary of Health and Human Services, Michael O. Leavitt, called Obama’s decision “wise.”

Obama’s Treasury Department wanted “transition relief” to work with large businesses to ensure they had “time to adapt health coverage and reporting systems while ... moving toward making health coverage affordable and accessible for their employees.” Similar postpone-

ments happened during the phase-in of the 2004 Medicare Part D prescription drug benefit during Bush’s presidency.

It’s an open secret in Washington that Boehner hopes that by spending more taxpayer funds on a highly publicized lawsuit (his failed support of the Defense of the Marriage Act cost the taxpayer $2.3 million), he will convince fed-up Republicans to not vote Democratic.

He can’t actually be concerned with the legal question because by the time the suit could even make it to the Supreme Court in 2016, the mandate will already be in place, rendering the lawsuit moot.

I’m sorry, but there’s more good news. Obamacare has killed no jobs. Just the opposite. The economy added

288,000 jobs last month, and unemployment plunged to 6.1 from a 2009 high of 10 percent.

The health care industry itself has gained nearly 1 million jobs since Obamacare was passed.

All of this is strictly on the “hush-hush.” It has become politically “un-correct” to ever, in any way, attribute success to Obama, and especially to Obamacare. I’m a little scared to buck the trend.

If we keep it quiet, maybe Republican leaders won’t jinx our national good fortune.

Shhhhh.

Elliott finishes strong to win

Winner takes the series’ point lead from Smith

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Only two Sprint Cup drivers were at Chicagoland Speedway on Saturday night for the NASCAR Nationwide EnjoyIllinois300. com.

But Kyle Larson and Kasey Kahne joined some of the best Nationwide regulars to put on quite a show.

On a night filled with line changes and lead changes, Chase Elliott, who contended all night, regained the lead after the final round of pit stops and led for the final 20 laps to earn a visit to Victory Lane.

The victory made him eligible for next week’s Dash 4 Cash at Indianapolis. Meanwhile, pole-sitter Brian Scott, who finished sixth, earned the $100,000 Dash 4 Cash Bonus.

Next weeks’ qualifiers for the Dash, in addition to Elliott and Scott, are Trevor Bayne and Ty Dillon.

“We made some great adjustments overnight,” Elliott said. “We had speed sometimes in practice, and sometimes we didn’t.

“This was a great night for us at Chicago. Racing against Kyle [Larson] and [Ryan] Blaney, we had an awesome race going.”

Bayne, with a strong late run, finished second. Larson claimed third, Kahne fourth and Dillon fifth.

“We struggled through the first part of the race,” Bayne said. “We made a really good adjustment under caution that last pit stop. I’m really proud of our team. We’ve struggled a lot over the summer. The guys on our team have been working so hard and not getting the results they deserved.”

Larson and Kane put on a strong finishing show, jockeying for the third and fourth spots in the stretch run.

“We had a really, really good long-run car, but every time we stopped we came out tight,” Larson said. “I had fun, it’s just frustrating because I thought we had a car to win. It seemed like every time we got to the lead, we had to pit right away.”

Elliott, who won back-to-back this year at Texas and Darlington, takes over the series points lead. He started the night 13 points behind

Regan Smith, while Elliott Sadler was eight points back.

Smith continued to struggle at Chicagoland.

He came to town hoping to stay in the running for a $1 million bonus.

Instead, he struggled with his car and finished 16th. He still has not finished better than 13th here.

Elliott, who passed Scott on the 21st lap, continued to lead the way through the first run of pit stops around Lap 55, with Blaney his nearest pursuer.

On Lap 69, the second caution came out as Richard Harriman scraped the wall.

On the restart, Blaney moved into the lead, with Scott in second and Elliott dropping into third.

A couple of laps later, Larson moved head of Elliott and into third place.

Larson continued his surge, gain-

ing second place at Lap 81. Elliott nudged back into third and Scott dropped to fourth.

Blaney continued to lead until Lap 109, when Larson passed him, just before the second round of pit stops began. Once that ended, Blaney had he lead back, followed

by Elliott and Larson.

Moments later, on Lap 123, debris on the track forced the third caution of the night. When racing resumed, Larson regained the lead, followed

by Elliott and Ty Dillon, while Blaney dropped to fourth. Larson stayed up front until Elliott executed a pass on Lap 143.

Blaney, meanwhile, had some contact that caused some damage to the left rear of his car, causing him to drop back in the field. He did battle back late to finish ninth.

On Lap 159, Larson executed a pass of Elliott to take the lead again.

Most of the leaders then began making their final pit stops, setting up a potential race to the finish.

When the stops were over, Elliott re-established control, with Bayne second and Larson third. Kahne moved up to fourth and Scott was fifth with less than 20 laps remaining.

At the other end of the spectrum, Sam Hornish Jr., who always has found Chicagoland to his liking, was responsible for the first caution on Lap 8 when his engine began smoking. He drove directly to the garage and his team called it a night. His hauler left the premises long before the race was over.

“I thought we had a great opportunity to lead laps and move up to the front,” Hornish said. Previously, he had three top-five finishes and five top-10s in five starts at Chicagoland.

ARCA RACING SERIES: ANSELL ACTIVARMR 15

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, July 20, 2014 *

JOLIET – Mason Mitchell certainly seemed overdue to capture a title in the ARCA Racing Series after experiencing so many close calls the past two seasons.

On Saturday in the Ansell ActivArmr 150 at Chicagoland Speedway, things finally clicked for the 20-year old from West Des Moines, Iowa, as he won for the first time in 35 races.

Mitchell, the only driver to finish in the top 10 in all 11 races, saw that streak extend to 20 in a row. He passed runner-up Justin Boston with six laps left following a caution and won by 0.795 seconds.

This was also Mitchell’s series-best seventh top-5 effort, which includes four second-place finishes. In addition, he had a pair of runner-up efforts a year ago.

As a result of his title win, Mitchell overcame the 10-point deficit that he faced coming in to move into firstplace in the points battle over Grant Enfinger, who took seventh place.

“This is unreal,” Mitchell said. “I knew that we could do it since the whole year at every track we’ve been to we’ve been pretty fast. We actually struggled yesterday, and in qualifying today, and for the majority of the race we really weren’t that good.

“We never gave up and made some really good adjustments throughout the whole race and were there at the end.

It’s been such a work in progress, and we’ve been so close so many times and leading laps and dominating races and not being able to get that win.

“We heard a lot of negativity but finally today we proved them wrong and got into victory lane. The momentum is on our side and I don’t plan to look back. This is so cool, especially since it was so close to home and I had a good amount of friends and family here today.”

This was the 14th ARCA race at the Speedway and the streak continues without a two-time winner. The highest-finishing former winner

Boston claimed his third straight top-five finish but fell short of adding to his lone victory earlier this season at Toledo.

The top rookie in the field was Matt Tifft, who entered the day ranked 19th in points, as he competed on a mile-anda-half track for the initial time. This was his third topfive finish of the season, with the others also being thirds.

“We had a really good long-run car and before the last caution came out, we were running down the leaders while we were running second,” said the 18-year old Tifft, who is from Hinckley, Ohio. “We didn’t want to see that caution come out.

Tom Berte (left) spins out in Turn 2 on Saturday at the Chicagoland Speedway.

“In the last run, the guys in front of us had a little bit newer tires. With two to go, we started closing down again.

It was a lot of fun for the first

mile-and-a-half that I’ve ever run. We’ve been going really well but we just need to close out the deal. If we keep doing finishing where we are, we’re

going to get one pretty soon.”

Spencer Gallagher, who had only led for 13 laps in 49 ARCA races before Saturday’s competition, was in front for 70 laps until getting passed by Boston on the 72nd lap. After some late-race handling issues, he claimed sixth place.

Early leader Will Kimmel finished in fourth place, Cody Coughlin took fifth, Justin Allison was eighth and Tom Hessert captured ninth place in the race, which lasted 1:21.50.

John Wes Townley earned his first pole position of the season with a speed of 172.117 miles per hour in his best qualifying lap to beat Gallagher (171.303) for that spot.

Townley, who exited after 23 laps after an accident, also was in NASCAR’s Nationwide race.

Joliet can’t pick up win for its starter

Slammers starter McFarland scatters seven hits, three earned runs

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Windy City left-handed pitcher Jake Fisher snapped the Joliet Slammers’ modest two-game winning streak by outdueling Kody McFarland to pick up a 4-1 win Saturday before 3,046 at Silver Cross Field in a Frontier League game.

Fisher (3-6) threw 81/3 innings, giving up one earned run and scattering four hits.

McFarland (2-2) pitched 71/3 innings, giving up three earned runs and seven hits.

“Kody threw the ball well.

He put up zeros and gave us an opportunity to win. He made some pitches when he had to.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t

pick up a win for him,” Joliet manager Jeff Isom said.

Windy City took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning when Michael Torres doubled to left and scored on a single

by Ryan Soares.

McFarland then tossed 61/3 scoreless innings before running into trouble in the top of the eighth.

The Thunderbolts’ Mike McGuckin doubled off the left field wall to start the inning.

Evan Button bunted him to third. Torres singled to left to score McGuckin to make it 2-0. Isom lifted McFarland for right-handed reliever Kevin McNorton.

Torres stole second base and went to third when Joliet catcher Adam Lewis’ throw

sailed into center field. McNorton intentionally walked Kyle Robinson to put runners on first and third. Robinson stole second base to take away the double play.

Soares hit a sacrifice fly to Seth Granger to score Torres and move Robinson to third base. Isom replaced McNorton with hard-throwing right hander Sam Moore.

McIntyre hit Moore’s first offering into the gap in right-center field to score Robinson.

Moore retired Jon Mestas on a groundball to Slammers shortstop Max Casper, but Windy City led 4-0.

The Slammers scored in the bottom of the eighth.

Jose Garcia drew a one-out

walk,and he scored when Jake Gronsky doubled over Button’s head in center to make it 4-1.

Joliet stranded Gronsky at second base as Granger followed with a flyout to right and Lewis struck out swinging to end the inning.

The Slammers, who rallied to beat Windy City on Friday, threatened in the bottom of the ninth inning.

Casper walked before Fisher hit Chris Epps with a pitch.

Fisher then induced Russell Moldenhauer to pop out to third baseman Max White.

Windy City manager Ron Biga then went to reliever Jessie Snodgrass.

The Slammers’ Grant DeBruin fouled out to first base-

man Davidson Peguero before Snodgrass walked Adam Giacalone to load the bases. The threat ended when Snodgrass got Garcia to foul out to Peguero, who snared the flyball by the first base dugout and somersaulted over the railing to end the game.

“You tip your cap to [Fisher],” Isom said. “He got his breaking ball over and he located his fastball. He pretty much neutralized our lefties for the most part. We didn’t make adjustments, and to his credit he was ahead all night.

What I am proud of is we got the winning run to the plate in the bottom of the ninth inning and still gave ourselves an opportunity to win the ballgame.

We just came up short.”

SLAMMERS 6, WINDY CITY 5

Joliet scores five times in final two innings to rally for win

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After letting some good chances slip away in the early going of Friday’s Frontier League game against Windy City, it looked like the Joliet Slammers might open the second part of their season on a down note.

Things didn’t look good for Joliet after it fell behind 5-1 heading into the eighth inning in its first meeting with the Thunderbolts.

But the Slammers made the most of some opportunities that came their way in the final two frames and rallied for two runs in the eighth and three more in the ninth to pull out a dramatic 6-5 victory in front of 3,512 fans at Silver Cross Field.

Grant DeBruin (2 for 4, 2 RBIs) delivered the game-winner, a two-out single to right to drive in Chris Epps (2 for 3, 2 runs), who had walked, stole second and moved to third after the

third wild pitch of the ninth inning.

Besides the wild pitches, losing pitcher Daniel Carela allowed two hits in that final frame and the Slammers (2131) also benefited from an error.

Seth Granger led off the ninth with a single and then took second on a wild pitch.

Adam Lewis reached an infield error, which allowed Granger to score.

Lewis was sacrificed to second by Max Casper and then advanced to third on a wild pitch. After Epps drew a walk and moved to second, another wild pitch tied the score.

“What a great way to start off the second half,” DeBruin said. “We would have liked to win it a little easier, but that was definitely the exciting way to do it. Hopefully it gives us a little momentum starting the second half.

Coming off the all-star break, a win like that is huge.

“I definitely felt confident going up there, espe-

cially after the passed ball tied things. That took a lot of pressure off me knowing that a hit wins the game. In the first half, if one or two things had gone differently in some games, we’d be looking at a whole different record.”

In the eighth, Reese McGraw allowed only one hit, but he walked the first two batters and also threw a pair of wild pitches as the Slammers responded with two runs.

Epps and Russell Moldenhauer drew walks to open that inning and one out later, Adam Giacalone doubled to left to make it 5-3.

“That’s the way to start the second part of the season,” said Giacalone, who got engaged last weekend.

“We grind out everything no matter what the score is, especially at home, where we find ways to get things done.

We make it interesting, but hey, a win’s a win.

“After taking a few days off for the all-star break,

coming back and getting a win is huge. It helps to come back and play six games at home to start. Hopefully, we can get four or five of them and get back in it, and we all know that our team is good enough to get back in it.”

The Thunderbolts (17-34) took a 2-0 lead in their first trip to the plate after Ryan Soares smacked a two-run homer to left against starter Andrew Busby, who allowed four earned runs on six hits while striking out six in 61/3 innings.

Joliet got a run back in the bottom of the first after loading the bases with no outs on a bunt single by Casper, a single by Epps and a walk to Moldenhauer before DeBruin hit a fly out to right against starter Daniel Cropper, who allowed one earned run on seven hits while striking out five in seven innings of work.

The Slammers had a runner thrown out at the plate after three straight singles

in the third, and Jose Garcia (2 for 4) was left stranded at third base an inning later.

Kyle Robinson greeted reliever Jordan Wellander with a three-run blast to left to make it 5-1 in the seventh.

After Brett Zawacki pitched the eighth, Sam Moore (2-3) retired the side in the ninth and eventually collected the victory.

“We only got one run in the first few innings, and that was frustrating,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “Then we get five runs in the last two innings, and that was very rewarding.

We’re looking for anything to give us a jump start for the second half. That was a big win.

“We want to make a statement in the second half, and that’s what we’re going to have to do. We have to battle and continue to fight for runs, whether it’s in the first or last inning. When it mattered and we had to get guys on, the guys did a very nice job.”

Hollatz ready for U.S. Junior Amateur

Lockport senior golfer set to compete in Texas against the nation’s elite

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Gehrig Hollatz will be in elite company when he tees off Monday morning at The Club at Carlton Woods’ Nicklaus Course in The Woodlands, Texas.

That site in suburban Houston is host to this year’s U.S. Junior Amateur Championships, a six-day event which features many of the top junior golfers in the nation, as well at least 20 competitors from other counGehrig Hollatz tries.

A total of 156 athletes qualified from 60 different tournaments which ran throughout June and concluded on the first day of this month.

Lockport’s Hollatz earned his spot June 30 at Schaumburg Golf Club when he shot a 140 in the 36-hole, oneday event to earn the fourth and final qualifying spot.

He opened with a 34 but was tied for sixth with a 71 through the first 18 holes. After shooting a 37 over the next nine, he used four birdies to help him to a 32, which gave him a 69 for the final 18, and his 140 was one stroke better than the two alternates.

Three other players from Illinois qualified at Schaumburg and another won the title at a competition in Michigan. No more than five players from this state have moved on during the past four years.

The only player from the area who has advanced to the USGA’s Junior Amateur in recent years is Frankfort’s Brian Bullington, who made three straight trips from 2009 to 2011.

“It means a lot since there are only four other kids from the state of Illinois who qualified,” Hollatz said.

“There were 90 kids at Schaumburg and I finished in the top four, which was really nice. I had to play 18 in the morning and 18 in the afternoon, but it was fun.

“I figured that if I played like I did in practice that I could get to the Junior Amateur. But I had to play my best golf, and that’s what I did and I ended up making it. That was one of the biggest things that I’ve ever been able to accomplish in the sport.

“I’ve golfed against some of the other guys who qualified and I had a lot of friends there who also tried to qualify. They were pretty happy for me and thought that it was cool that I made it. Only 156 make it to the Junior Amateur, so to do that is a big honor.”

Hollatz, who’ll be a senior at Lockport this year, hopes that he can make

a good showing in the first two days of the tournament, which involves stroke play.

Once the field is cut down to 64 players, match play eventually determines the champion.

As evidenced by his play at Schaumburg, where he recorded 10 birdies compared to six bogeys, Hollatz feels that he might be able to fare well in match play if he can earn a spot in the final 64, something that Bullington accomplished in 2011.

He left for Texas on Friday and took part in practice rounds both Saturday and Sunday in preparation of his 8 a.m. tee time Monday and a 1:15 p.m. start on the next day.

“I feel that if I can get to the round of 64, I might do something since my game is set up for match play because I get a lot of birdies,” Hollatz said.

“Right now I’m pretty excited. It will be a good experience and hopefully I’ll be able to play well there.

“Each day I’m out practicing and every part of my game is getting bet-

ter. I want to play Division I college golf, so hopefully playing in the U.S. Junior Amateur will help me to get recognized. If golf doesn’t work out for me, at least it can help get me through college.”

Hollatz, whose father Mark, a fine golfer after successful baseball careers at both Providence and Lewis University, is a teacher and coach at Lemont.

On the other side of the family, his late grandfather, Dick Dystrup, was an athlete for the Porters and then a longtime teacher and coach, retiring from his alma mater.

Mom, Libby, and aunt, Andra, also enjoyed athletic success at Lockport, as did his uncle, Spiro Voulgaris. Gehrig’s sister, Hannah, was a former Porter athlete while sister, Halle, and cousins, Gabby and Zara Voulgaris, all were regulars on the 2014 softball team.

Hollatz, who also plays basketball for the Porters, is not only excited about competing in the Junior Amateur but also about how good Lockport’s golf team could be this season.

“Our golf team looks good and hopefully, we can finish in the top three at state,” said Hollatz, who was an individual state qualifier last year.

“I’ll be playing along with Luke Trent and Matt Sheldon, and I think it will be a fun season.”

BLACKHAWKS

What line? Newly acquired Richards hasn’t given it a thought

By MARK LAZERUS mlazerus@suntimes.com CHICAGO – Brad Richards’ first taste of life with the Blackhawks was opening night of the fan convention Friday at the Hilton Chicago, with some 10,000 fans lining up just for a glimpse and an autograph.

So the last thing he was thinking about was whether he might be the long-awaited answer to the Hawks’ long-standing question at second-line center.

“I’m trying to find a place to live and meeting a thousand people every day,” Richards said.

Heck, he didn’t even know what to call captain Jonathan Toews.

“I should call him Jonathan. Does anybody call him Jonathan?” he said.

“It’s pretty official. Tazer and Kaner?”

Coach Joel Quenneville doesn’t have such concerns. And, yes, he has given it plenty of thought. And Richards – the 2004 Conn Smythe Trophy winner with the Tampa Bay Lightning and a nine-time 20-goal scorer who twice has posted at least 67 assists – is his man between Brandon Saad and Patrick Kane.

For now, at least.

“Yeah, we’ll see how long it lasts,” Saad said with a grin. “He’s a great player, so we’re happy to have him.

He’s a good addition for our team. Regardless of what the line combinations are, it definitely helps our team out a lot.”

At 34, Richards might not be the same player who twice posted 91 points. He struggled in 2012-13 with

the New York Rangers, then tumbled to the fourth line during their run to the Stanley Cup Final this spring before being bought out of his nine-year, $60 million contract.

He could have cashed in and earned a longer-term contract with another team, but he signed with the Hawks for one year at $2 million for a chance to chase another Cup and to prove he still can play at an elite level.

“When I first came in the league, the Detroits and Colorados were getting all the free agents because they were winning and they were relevant every year,” Richards said. “When you get a chance at this stage of my career, where I can come in and try to fit and make it work in the group, it’s an obvious location where a lot of people would like to play. It’s a team

that’s relevant every day, and every year they seem to be making a run.

That’s all you can ask for as a player.”

Playing alongside Saad and Kane can’t hurt.

“I’ve only watched [Kane], and he’s exciting to watch,” Richards said. “All of that is played out when you get on the ice. It’s so hard to talk about it now because it might or might not work. . . .

There are so many different players you can play with when you play here.

It’s a great opportunity, no matter who [it is]. If that’s the case, I’d be thrilled.

If not, there are other options that are very enticing, too.”

If it doesn’t work, Andrew Shaw will be waiting. Shaw fared well in that spot during the Western Conference final, and Quenneville said it was “inevitable” he’d see time there again.

The Associated Press HOYLAKE, England –Rory McIlroy looked as though he had just thrown a knockout punch at the British Open, and it was only Saturday.

When he rolled in a 10-foot eagle putt on the final hole for a 4-under 68, he straightened his back, stared defiantly at thousands of fans crammed into the horseshoe arena around the 18th green at Royal Liverpool and lightly pumped his fist.

He went from being tied for the lead to six shots ahead of Rickie Fowler in just over an hour.

And suddenly, the biggest challenge facing the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland was reminding himself that he had one more round left.

McIlroy can’t afford to picture his name etched on the base of that silver claret jug. He can’t think about what it will be like next April to drive down Magnolia Lane at Augusta National with a shot at becoming the sixth player to capture the career Grand Slam.

“I’m not taking anything for granted,” McIlroy said.

He knows that from experience, good and bad. He blew a four-shot lead at the Masters in 2011 and shot 80 in the final round. He had

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland celebrates after playing an eagle Saturday on the 16th hole during the third day of the British Open in Hoylake, England. an eight-shot lead at the U.S. Open two months later and set two scoring records to win by eight. And just two months ago, McIlroy came from seven shots behind to win by seven.

It looks like a lost cause for Fowler, Sergio Garcia and anyone else trying to chase down a guy who has won both his majors by eight shots. The six-shot lead was the largest at The Open since Tiger Woods led by six at St. Andrews in 2000.

Even so, McIlroy was doing his best to preach caution.

“A lot can happen,” he said.

“And I’ve been on the right side of it and I’ve been on the wrong side of it. You can’t let yourself think

forward. You’ve just got to completely stay in the moment, and that’s what I’m going to try to do for all 18 holes tomorrow.”

History is on his side.

No one has ever lost a six-shot lead in the 121 years that The Open has been contested over 72 holes.

Boy Wonder would not seem to be a candidate.

“What you have with him is he’s just so explosive,” Jim Furyk said after a 71 left him 10 shots behind. “He won the U.S. Open by eight shots. He obviously doesn’t have any issue as the front-runner, and has no issue trying to extend that lead, much like Tiger used to.”

McIlroy was at 16-under 200.

‘LIKE A LONG LOST SISTER’ Joliet Zonta Club celebrates 40 years of raising the status of women

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

J

OLIET – Joliet Zonta Club charter member Dr. Patricia L. Miller recalled mentioning the Equal Rights Amendment to a class of college students when she was teaching at the University of St. Francis in Joliet a few years ago.

“Lo and behold,” said Miller of Plainfield, a retired Joliet psychologist, “only one person had heard of it.”

While the status of women has changed in the United States in the 40 years since the Joliet chapter of Zonta was formed – good stenography skills is no longer a condition for employment – it’s by no means perfect, Miller feels, not as long as double standards and sexual harassment still exist.

For women in the rest of the world, there is much work to be done, which is why Zonta is still relevant, Miller said. Zonta is known for its warm and open attitude among members, even when walking into an unfamiliar chapter.

“They greet you like a long-lost sister,” Miller said.

Although Miller grew up as an only child to parents who felt anything boys could do, girls could do too, the larger world did not see it that way,

Know more The confederation of Zonta Clubs was organized in New York on Nov. 8, 1919, with nine other charter clubs. Permanent headquarters were established in Chicago on Jan. 21, 1928.

There are now more than 1,200 clubs in 68 countries throughout the world with nearly 33,000 members.

For information on the Joliet Zonta Club, call Mardi Wunderlich at 815-7412071 or visit www.jolietzonta.com Source: Joliet Zonta Club Miller said. As a teen, Miller stood up to an entire school board trying – unsuccessfully – to convince them to change policy so she could take shop class.

Through Zonta, Miller has met and connected with other professional women who want to support women, she said. Other members at the time included former Clerk of the Circuit Court Helen S. Harshbarger and Dorothy Cryder, former writer for the Living section of The Herald-News, Miller said.

Projects in those early years included reading stories to children in Groundwork and assisting a halfway house for alcoholic women, Miller said, as such women were generally

not well-received when they returned home.

“It was wonderful that we could support something that helped take the stigma out while they were trying to put their lives back together,” Miller said.

Every two years the Joliet Zonta Club sponsors an organization that helps women, said Mardi Wunderlich, current president and police social worker for the Joliet Police Department.

Currently, that organization is Will County Habitat for Humanity because most of its recipients are women, Wunderlich said. Other organizations from past years include Groundwork and Lamb’s Fold Center, both in Joliet.

Wunderlich, who likes knitting and crocheting, would love to begin a jail ministry one day.

She feels it would not only spark engaging interaction, it would sharpen the inmates’ math and reading skills through the following and adjusting of patterns.

“It’s always good to assist,” Wunderlich said. “And we always benefit way more than they do.”

Thankfulness at being “damn lucky for the opportunities” she’s had, as well as a desire to help women in her community and fellowship with others who had the same aspirations, led Wunderlich to accept an invitation to

“It’s always good to assist. And we always benefit way more than they do.”

Mardi Wunderlich Joliet Zonta Club president join the Joliet Zonta Club 11 years ago.

Like many organizations, Joliet Zonta Club has a scholarship program.

It also honors women within and without its ranks. This year, Lynn Noell, a Joliet Junior College nursing professor was the club’s 2014 “Woman of Distinction” for her educational work with nurses in Uganda.

Peggy Field, a Joliet Zonta member, received the club’s “Woman of the Year” award for her enthusiastic involvement, Wunderlich said.

“She always starts off meetings with an inspirational quote to put things in a positive light,” Wunderlich said. “She is very humble and the first person to volunteer.”

Membership, Wunderlich said, is by invitation only. Candidates must be professional businesswomen in the community.

“Some are entrepreneurs, doctors and lawyers,” Wunderlich said. “We have an anthropologist, an audiologist and a judge. We seek out women with different backgrounds.”

ROMEOVILLE – On May 28, Moraine Valley Community College and Lewis University signed two agreements that will provide opportunities for Moraine Valley students to earn bachelor’s degrees in two different programs at Lewis.

The two institutions agreed to an enhanced “2+2” nursing program where students may earn an associate in applied science degree at MVCC in the Palos Hills, based community college and a bachelor’s degree in nursing at Lewis University in Romeoville.

This is the first agreement of its kind for both schools.

Nursing students would complete the registered nurse program at Moraine Valley and pass the national board exam.

Students then would complete 78 credit hours at Moraine Valley and the final 38 credit hours leading to the bachelor of science in nursing at a reduced tuition rate.

A second agreement provides a more affordable pathway for students to complete both the associate and bachelor of arts degrees in criminal/social justice.

Program will offer classes at the Moraine Valley’s Palos Hills campus and the Lewis regional location in nearby Hickory Hills.

Full-time students enrolled in the criminal/social justice program will receive a special partnership scholarship of $12,000 a year during their studies at Lewis University.

Additionally, students enrolled in this program will pay Moraine Valley tuition rates for the first 80 credit hours and complete the last 48 credit hours at a reduced tuition rate, resulting in significant savings while earning a criminal/social justice bachelor’s degree.

During the first part of the 128 credit-hour program, students will complete 80 credit hours of Moraine Valley courses and earn the associate of arts degree in criminal justice.

Students then will complete 48 credit hours of Lewis University course work, taught by Lewis faculty at the school’s Hickory Hills campus, 9634 S. Roberts Road.

For information about the C/SJ program, contact Michelle Mega, Lewis University director of recruitment and external relations, at 815-8365342 or megami@lewisu.edu.

Pershing School prepares for state standards JOLIET – More than 600 Pershing Elementary students in grades kindergarten through fifth grade recently learned about different careers when the school hosted a Career Day. Occupations included a nurse, artist, gym owner, dentist, lawyer, event coordinator, chef, job coach, and banker.

The Career Day was just one event the school had planned during the year to prepare the students with the new Common Core State Standards. Each Pershing classroom adopted a university that the students researched throughout the school year.

Students learned their college’s fight song, designed college logos, wore their college school colors and wrote mock college application essays. Jennifer Sitar’s second grade classroom even “skyped” with the admissions director at Texas A&M. – The Herald-News

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

First the lead, then the defense

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Alvin Toffler, a writer and futurist who coined the term information overload, said, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”

That is an interesting thought – but do you agree?

First, look at today’s West hand. What would you lead against three no-trump?

This auction must be by far the most common that ends in a game contract.

Length and majors rule in this situation. So, West should lead a spade. But since his suit contains no honor, he should choose the nine, top of nothing when the top two cards are touching. (With, say, 9-7-6-4 of spades, he would lead the seven, second-highest.)

Now look at the North and East hands. How should East plan the defense after declarer calls for dummy’s spade four?

East, reading the lead, should realize that South has the spade jack and queen. So, there is no point in winning with the ace and playing another spade. There won’t be time to establish and run the spades. After taking the first trick, East should shift to the heart queen. And as you can see, that works rather well, resulting in down two.

Finally, did you notice South’s one chance? At trick one, under East’s spade ace, he should drop his jack or queen, trying to look like someone who started with queen-jack-doubleton. Then East will be sorely tempted to return his spade 10, which lets the contract make.

Declarer should try to make the defenders misread the deal.

Dear Abby: Neither of my parents do anything for fun. When Dad comes home from work, he either reads the newspaper or takes a nap. If Mom has free time after finishing the housework or running errands, she watches the news on TV or goes to bed early.

I never thought it was unusual because it has been this way since I was growing up.

But once I was in high school, I started hearing classmates talk about their parents’ friends or hobbies and I realized my parents are different. They don’t even listen to music or read books.

When I want to go out with friends, my parents act annoyed and wonder why I want to go out instead of staying at home.

Are there other people out there like this, or are my folks unusual? – Mystified In Maine Dear Mystified: At the end of a busy day, many people want

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips to simply unwind rather than look for things to do. Reading the newspaper, napping or watching the television news are some of the ways they do that. While your parents may be more introverted than those of your classmates, I don’t think they are particularly unusual.

The question you should ask yourself is, “Is their relationship working for them?”

And if the answer is yes, be glad. What’s natural for some families isn’t for everyone, and neither is their idea of what’s fun.

Dear Abby: I’m a 15-year-old girl and my favorite teacher, “Mr. Brown,” is going to another state with some other

teachers to start a new school.

I’ll miss him dearly because he is funny and charismatic.

We have an average student-teacher relationship, but I still would like to stay in contact with him and see how he’s doing. Is there any way I can maintain our relationship and contact him on my own to show that I miss him? – Teen In New Haven Dear Teen: If he hasn’t already left your district, I suppose you could tell him he has been your favorite teacher and ask for his email address.

He may be willing to share it with you, but if he and the other teachers are starting a new school, you can bet they are going to be extremely busy and focused on that – so he may not be able to respond as often as you might wish.

Women with osteoporosis diagnosis can lower fracture risk Dear Doctor K: I’m a 63-yearold woman, and recently I had a screening test for osteoporosis.

My “T-score” was minus 2.7.

What does this mean?

Dear Reader: In the past, osteoporosis – a thinning of the bones – was frequently diagnosed only after a bone fracture.

Today, osteoporosis can be detected earlier with a bone mineral density test.

Several tests can assess bone density.

The most common, considered the gold standard for osteoporosis screening, is known as “dual energy X-ray absorptiometry” (DEXA). For this test, a machine sends X-rays through your bones in order to calculate bone density.

The DEXA scan gives you a number called a T-score. Your T-score represents how your bone density compares with that of a woman at peak bone density.

Doctors use the following guidelines to interpret your results: • If your T-score is minus 1 or greater: Your bone density is

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff considered normal.

• If your T-score is between minus 1 and minus 2.5: You have low bone density, known as osteopenia, but you don’t have osteoporosis.

• If your T-score is minus 2.5 or less: You have osteoporosis.

In addition to low bone mineral density, the following factors increase your chance of getting a fracture: • Low body mass index (BMI) • Family and/or personal history of fractures • Increasing age • Falls • Rheumatoid arthritis • Certain medications, particularly corticosteroids (such as prednisone), thyroid medicines, warfarin and SSRI antidepressants • Early menopause Now that you know you have osteoporosis, take steps to lower your fracture risk: • Get enough calcium and vitamin D. Dairy foods, salm-

on, kale and spinach will help you get the recommended 1,200 milligrams of calcium every day. Add a glass of fortified orange juice or low-fat milk, or take vitamin D supplements to help you reach the 800 to 1,000 international units of vitamin D you also need.

• Do weight-bearing exercises. Climbing stairs, walking around the park, playing tennis or dancing are all weight-bearing exercises that strengthen bones.

• Skip the soda. Some studies suggest colas can contribute to bone loss.

• Don’t smoke. It can lead to bone loss. If you get a fracture, it will take longer to heal.

• Limit alcohol to one drink or less a day. Heavy drinking weakens bones.

Because your T-score indicates that you have osteoporosis, your doctor may also recommend drug therapy to slow bone loss.

Teen tired of being ‘bear’ to wake up in the morning Dr. Wallace: I am basically a pleasant person except when I wake up in the morning. I enjoy school, but every morning, Mom has to drag me out of bed by a leg and an arm. It doesn’t make any difference how long I sleep; I’m still a bear to wake up.

Even after I’m up, I’m grouchy and I know I sometimes hurt mom’s feelings. Once I’m at school I’m fine and I enjoy my day. It’s just those morning “Blahs.”

I really would like to be pleasant, but I can’t seem to shake my grumpy ways. Have you got a few hints? – Nameless, Moncton, New Brunswick.

Dear Nameless: You belong to an exclusive group of about 125 million Americans and Canadians, me included. I’ve tried hard to be cheery in the early morning, but for a while nothing had worked.

Then a few years ago I tried this new remedy: The instant I wake up I take a quick shower. After donning my walking clothes, I head outside and walk briskly for 5 miles. I then take a brisk, cool shower and eat a well-balanced, nutritious breakfast.

My life has changed dramatically. I am now a very clean guy and my morning walk has improved my stamina and helps keep my weight down to 180 pounds (I’m 6’ tall). All this is good, but my wife informs me that my shower, exercise and eating habits have done little to eliminate my grumpy morning behavior!

Dr. Wallace: The guy I’m seeing is basically wonderful. I met him last year at a mutual friend’s wedding. He was

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace the groom’s best man, and I served as a maid of honor for the bride. We were attracted to each other instantly. When we are together, he and I have wonderful times.

One disagreement we share is that he is anti-smoking, and I am a pack-a-day smoker. He has asked me several times to stop smoking.

I haven’t stopped, but I stopped lighting up when I’m out with him.

I’m 19, and the guy is 22.

We have discussed marriage, but it never got to the “serious” stage.

Last night he said that he loved me and would seriously consider marrying me, but only if I would quit smoking 100 percent. I thought that was reasonable and it gave me something to think about. Then came the “bomb shell.”

He said that if I didn’t stop smoking forever in a month he would stop seeing me.

If he had given me a year to quit I might have considered giving up smoking, but making it a month is unacceptable.

Do you think this guy is being fair? – Becky, Jackson, Miss.

Dear Becky: It turns out that your guy is making you choose between a smoking habit and him. Don’t let your pride get in the way. If you really care for him and would consider living with him the rest of your life, stop smoking. If you really do prefer smoking over him, dump him.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – To see matters through, you’ll need to take on only what you know you can handle. If you are rushed or pressured, you will lose focus and fall short of your goals. Your discipline must be as strong as your desire to reach the top.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Your daily routine will suffer if you are overwhelmed with personal issues. Clear up any outstanding problems before you jeopardize your position, status or reputation. Put your best foot forward.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – An older or younger friend or relative will need help keeping up. Plan outings that make allowances for any weaknesses or disabilities that others have. Looking out for people will lead to greater popularity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Be very clear about what you can and cannot offer. Protect your peace of mind and back away from a problem that is unfixable. Don’t lend or borrow money or possessions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Reflect on your current relationships. Take some time to reconsider past situations and the uncertainties you are feeling. A change is required if you want to move forward.

Equality will be the name of the game.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Socializing with colleagues can be fun, but be careful to avoid gossiping or sharing too much about your personal life. If your comments are repeated, you could be faced with a negative situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will offend someone if you are flirtatious or too pushy. Avoid joint ventures that involve money or time. Gauge what you are willing to do before making promises.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t ignore complaints. Do whatever is necessary to please others and satisfy your own needs. A willingness to adopt a give-and-take attitude will lead to a happier relationship.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t be shy when it comes to interacting with new people. Put your best foot forward to attract like-minded folks.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Attend functions that will allow you to network with others in your field. Comparing notes is a good way to keep on top of current developments.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Arguments are probable if you let your emotions spin out of control. You are likely to mistake someone’s teasing as a personal affront.

Stay calm and keep the peace.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Minor ailments can become serious if you don’t take precautions. Don’t let matters slide when it comes to your health. Set up a regular routine geared toward health, fitness and good nutrition.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Getting involved in interesting community events will allow you to show off your personality and capabilities in a fun setting. Love is in the stars.

‘Planes’ sequel doesn’t quite take off

By JEN CHANEY Special to The Washington Post “Planes: Fire & Rescue” appears to be a cartoon that’s designed for kids, and designed to sell anthropomorphized helicopter toys to kids. To be clear, it is both of those things. But this sequel – which improves slightly on its lazy predecessor, last year’s “Planes” – is also a movie made to appeal to the middle-aged, particularly those who enjoy watching an animated air show set to the sound of AC/DC. With a narrative that focuses on planes and choppers launching second careers in the dangerous world of wildfire-fighting, “Planes: Fire & Rescue” touches on some of the same themes as “Cars,” the 2006 Disney and Pixar film that inspired these airborne DisneyToon Studios spinoffs.

While the Lightning McQueen story celebrated the seemingly forgotten values of traditional, small-town America, the second “Planes” emphasizes the importance of reinventing the old and finding power in things – particularly aircraft with adorably animated eyeballs – that have been around for a while.

That doesn’t make “Planes: Fire & Rescue” a wildly better movie than “Planes,” an exercise in family-fare cliches in which a crop-duster realized that he could achieve great heights at great speed if he just believed in himself.

But that subtext does make it a slightly more interesting one, even though most of the children at whom this release is ostensibly aimed won’t get any of its best jokes, which riff on cop shows from the ‘70s and pickup trucks that use bad pickup lines in vehicular country-line-dancing bars.

Dusty, the aforementioned crop-duster (voiced by Dane Cook), returns in “Planes: Fire & Rescue” and initially seems ready to continue his reign as a world-champion racer.

After he’s been warned that a faulty gear box – one that no

Disney image

“Planes; Fire & Rescue” has some funny moments, but the franchise has not been around long enough to truly soar in new directions. manufacturer bothers to make anymore – prevents him from accelerating to full throttle, he pushes himself into the red anyway. That leads to a spectacular crash that causes an even more spectacular fire at his airport home base in Propwash Junction.

Mayday, the aging resident fire engine with the voice of Hal Holbrook, successfully puts out the flames but still attracts the attention of safety officials, who shut down the airport until Mayday can upgrade and Propwash Junction can find a second flame extinguisher. That’s when a shaken Dusty steps up, traveling to a facility near Piston Peak National Park so that he can train with Blade Ranger, a flaming-red fire-and-rescue helicopter with the voice of Ed Harris. Cue the scene where Dusty is suddenly flung into a smoke-filled wildfire while AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” blasts through the multiplex speakers.

Dusty’s new adventure

allows him to once again learn a new skill set and enables the animators to depict the devastation of rapidly spreading flames with daunting yet kid-friendly realism. Even in a film as simplistically plotted as “Planes: Fire & Rescue,” the Disney animators still take great care to capture the majestic beauty in the jagged landscapes and towering conifers of the Yellowstone-esque Piston Peak Park.

Unfortunately, the same contours and shading don’t apply to the characters in “Planes: Fire & Rescue.” A whole new fleet of flying and motoring beings debut here (translation: more toys!), including the spunky Dipper (Julie Bowen), a super-scooper who’s obsessed with Dusty and adds modest dashes of humor at moments when the story needs them. But none of them are particularly memorable, and, ultimately, neither is the movie.

Via a title card that opens the film, “Planes: Fire & Res-

cue” announces itself as a tale dedicated to the courageous firefighters who regularly risk their lives to save others. And while the story pays homage to them, as well as to elder statesmen and stateswomen who find second acts through selfless work, the movie never digs deeply enough to make those messages really resonate. The whole thing just zips by in an 84-minute flurry of flames doused and triumphs won that, if it lives on in the memory at all, will likely be all mixed up with recollections of “Planes.”

That’s the risk of pushing out a sequel less than 12 months after the original came out: Unlike the wildfire battlers in “Fire & Rescue,” the franchise hasn’t been around long enough to know how to truly soar in new directions.

• “Planes: Fire & Rescue” received two out of four stars.

The film runs 84 minutes, and is rated PG for action and some peril.
