The teams began playing beanbags at noon on Sunday at Plainfield Fest.

Although the festival technically closed at 6 p.m.

Sunday, Rob Epley, Festival chairman, said the players would be throwing well after 6 p.m.

“With this many teams, they’ll be playing all the way to 7 tonight,” he said.

This year, 64 teams signed up and were able to play in the Midwest Bags Tournament. Additional teams were on a waiting list and did not get to compete this year.

“We’ve been told it’s the fourth biggest in the U.S.,” Epley said of the tournament.

The number of teams that signed up for the bags tournament is not the only place where the Plainfield Fest thrived this year. Epley said more than 70 vendors participated in the fest. Proceeds from all the festival fees and sales go to the Plainfield Riverfront Foundation, a nonprofit organization whose goal is to rebuild the area once known as Electric Park.

Because the festival is held on Main Street, it is a natural boon to the local businesses. And this year was especially so as Epley said he estimated 15,000 attended the fest, way above

On Saturday night, Epley said the entertainment area was at capacity when cover band ARRA played to crowds. He thought the liquor sales alone on Saturday night exceeded $40,000.

Down the street from DeAvila, shop owner Cassie Vaughn, who owns Hopscotch and Vine, combined shop What’s New and Simply Saucy and newly opened 3 Chics Boutique said the crowds have been great.

“We’ve had record crowds this year; it’s unbelievable,” Epley said.

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The man who was fatally shot on a street early Saturday has been identified.

Jonathan Q. Adams, 25, of Joliet died of multiple gunshot wounds, Will County Chief Deputy Coroner Bob Brenczewski said. An autopsy was performed Sunday.

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.

Adams was taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center where he underwent surgery. He was pronounced dead in the emergency room at 8:41 a.m. Roechner said detectives learned Adams had succumbed to his wounds about a half-hour later.

Will County court records show Adams was sentenced to

a year in prison for drug possession in 2012. That conviction resulted from a plea deal to have drug delivery charges dismissed following an arrest

by Joliet police in 2011.

Police have not released any suspect information.

Anyone with information is asked to call detectives at 815-724-3020 or anonymously call CrimeStoppers at 800-3236734. CrimeStoppers offers rewards of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.

All in all, Epley said he thought the festival this weekend would raise $100,000 for the foundation.

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joe Potts of Channahon has scratches six feet high on the inside of his front door, the result of his energetic 125-pound Doberman pinscher Rex. The dog loves to go out for runs and is good at picking up on clues of when he’s about to be taken out. Potts takes him to the dog park at Hammel Woods in Shorewood a couple of times a week, but now he has a much closer venue.

The Rock Run Dog Park in southwestern Joliet held its opening Saturday morning, and just a couple of blocks east of Channahon, it’s a short drive for Potts. He brought 4-year-old Rex to the opening.

“He needs a place to run,” Potts said, “and it’s close. If he doesn’t get to run, you can’t live with him. He’ll start running through the house.”

Rex did seem to enjoy the park and the dozens of other dogs there for the day, running and sniffing and happily paddling his large paws in every water bowl he came across.

Dogs getting bigger bang for their bark in Forest Preserve District

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com When the Forest Preserve District of Will County opened its first dog park at Hammel Woods in Shorewood back in 2002, no one really knew what to expect.

“We developed it on sort of a trial basis because at that time there weren’t too many dog parks. There wasn’t a lot of information out there on how to design one, what’s the best kind and all those details,” said Ralph Schultz, director of planning and operations for the district. “We kind of did it on a shoestring budget. We didn’t really know what we were getting ourselves into.”

District officials started out with an open field in Hammel Woods, and from there, they put in a parking lot, fencing, a latrine and shelter, he said.

Soon after the opening, officials learned quickly: Big dogs and little dogs don’t mix. So, the district’s second dog park, which opened three years later at Whalon Lake in Naperville, was redesigned so that it had two separate fenced areas to keep small and large dogs separated.

“We did this for obvious reasons,” he said.

Because of lessons learned early on, the dogs of Will County are getting an even bigger bang for their bark.

The district’s newest dog

parks – Whalon Lake in Naperville, Messenger Marsh in Homer Glen, Forked Creek Preserve in Wilmington and Rock Run in Joliet – all have three separate fenced areas.

One is for large dogs, another for small dogs and a third section is left alone from time to time so that the grassy turf can essentially rest and restore itself from heavy use, Schultz said.

The grand opening of the Rock Run Dog Park on Saturday marks the fifth of its kind in Will County – and it’s all for man’s best friend, Schultz said.

“I think your dog becomes an extension of your family. I think people see that. That’s

something we’ve been able to provide,” Schultz said. “Our off-leash dog park areas give pet owners an opportunity for their pet to socialize and also for them to socialize. It helps them build on that commonality.”

The district’s dog parks have proven to be popular among Will County residents over the years. The number of dog park permits have grown from a few hundred when Hammel Woods’ dog park first opened in 2002 to the 2,350 permits issued in 2013 for the district’s four dog parks, according to information provided by the district.

A sixth dog park is already in the planning stages. It will

Policies and permits n To ensure safety of all pets that use the park, pet owners must provide a current rabies tab number and expiration date for each dog. n A permit is required to enter the premises and must be worn at all times while visiting the park. n For permit prices, types and requirements, visit the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s website at www.reconnectwithnature.org/preserves-trails/dogparks. be located on the east side of Will County in the Plum Valley Preserve at Route 394 and Exchange Road, Schultz said.

The district recently applied for a state grant to help pay for the new park, he said.

The Folkers Hotel FRANKFORT – Located on the southeast corner of Kansas and Hickory Streets, the Folkers Hotel was owned and operated for many years by Johnson Folkers and eventually his three sons, William, Frank, and Peter.

The partnership formed by these three brothers carried on numerous businesses begun by Johnson that were important to the growth of the community of Frankfort, including livery stable, a slaughter house and contracting the construction for the E.J.E. railroad tracks and locating the first telephone exchange on the second floor of the hotel.

The then and now pictures show Kansas Street looking east from Hickory Street. Folkers Hotel is the two-story building on the right in both photographs. Further down the block on the right, the two-story brick building was home to a butcher shop and the Exchange Bank. On the north side of the street, visible in the then photograph, the old post office, drug and grocery store buildings are visible.

Army medic becomes Morris civil servant

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com MORRIS – When it comes to her desire to help people in need, Carissa Smith, 25, is a ball of fire.

On June 7, Smith graduated from the fire academy offered by the Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District, making her Morris’ first African-American firefighter. Smith has now entered a probation period, which she said will last one month.

“I’ve learned the basics,” Smith said. “Now I’ll learn the Morris way of fighting fires.”

Smith said her No. 1 goal in life always has been to be a civil servant, and becoming a firefighter was just one piece of accomplishing that mission. She joined the U.S. Army in 2011, where she served as an Army medic.

“Carissa has a background in the military so she was experienced,” Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance Chief Tracey Steffes said. “She was a great candidate.”

When she came home to Morris in April 2012, Smith wanted to use her EMT license to help civilians, too. So Smith went to work for a private ambulance company and as an emergency department technician for Adventist La Grange Memorial Hospital, Smith said.

Yet Smith, also a single mother of Zachary, 15 months, felt she was not using her talents to the fullest.

“I was mostly taking the elderly to doctors appointments,” Smith said. “I didn’t get the 911 calls. I wanted something more energetic and upbeat. A friend suggested I become a firefighter, so I thought, ‘Why not give it a shot?’ ” Smith said she applied in September 2013. She underwent an interview, a physical fitness test and a written exam.

She then was accepted into the fire academy. Instruction, Smith said, was held at fire departments in various towns, including Morris, Coal City, Elwood and Braidwood.

You name it, Smith said, she

learned it: extinguishing fires with different materials, ventilating fires, evacuating victims, building materials, how to properly use ladders and good customer service techniques. This last, Smith said, is extremely important.

“We work for the city. We’re here for the people,” Smith said. “We want to have a good reputation.”

Because most Morris firefighters are only part-time employees, Smith said, her next goal is to become a police officer in a different community and then work both jobs simultaneously. She sees herself in those roles for a long time.

“I love helping people, and after being in the Army so long, I know how to handle a weapon,” Smith said. “So why not become a police officer, too?”

Smith has had a role model in her grandmother, Esther Holiday, pastor at House of Glory for All Nations, which meets at the Quality Inn in Morris.

“She’s such a hard worker,” Holiday said of her granddaughter.

Holiday, Smith said, has spent her life helping others.

As a pastor, Holiday counsels

people from a Biblical perspective. She has also ministered to troubled youth with their parents’ consent, a ministry Holiday would like to expand.

“Yep, she’s just like me,” Holiday said. “Because that’s all I do [is help people].”

Smith feels compelled to go forth and do likewise.

“I’ve always had that respectful mentality toward people,” Smith said. “Sometimes people need a little help every now and then.”

VIEWS Kris Stadalsky The Rotary Club of Channahon-Minooka is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year – a decade as a club and a decade of serving the community and the nation.

The club got its start with the help of several Rotarians from neighboring clubs. Mary Ann Egger, of the Joliet Rotary Club at the time, which was Channahon-Minooka’s sponsoring club, was appointed a special representative to assist in getting it off the ground. Egger has been there from day one.

“I am very proud of everything that they have done

worldwide, assist in building safe drinking water wells in third-world countries and sponsor the Shelter Box program, which provides instant shelter and aid to displaced people during disasters.

Locally, Channahon-Minooka Rotary has a scholarship program for Minooka High School seniors, a backpack program which provides healthy snacks for grade-school kids in need to take home over the weekend, provides dictionaries to all third-grade students, shares sponsorship of Special Needs day at the Three Rivers Festival and has adopt-a-spot on Ford Road.

Last year the club launched an Interact Club at Minooka High School and has worked with the teen members to buy

Christmas presents for low income families. A mentoring program at the high school is on the list of upcoming projects, Wold said.

Those who started the club 10 years ago were community leaders with the experience and the understanding of how to get things done, Wold said.

“They are all service-minded community leaders in their own occupation and generally nice people who want to help Rotary to succeed locally and globally,” he said.

Wold is heading up an effort to put a park bench in both communities with plaques that commemorate the club’s 10th anniversary.

“It’s a way to give back to the communities and put something out there to make people aware of our organiza-

tion,” he said.

“Being a part of Rotary is an awesome experience, you meet nice people and new friends,” Wold said.

The club will celebrate its milestone with a picnic Saturday. All past and present Channahon-Minooka Rotarians are welcome. Contact Tina Zugel at 815-467-8882 for information and to RSVP. Also upcoming is the club’s annual fundraiser, Wold said.

Octoberfest – Down on the Farm – will be held Sept. 20 at Dollinger’s Farm. Mark your calendars. The public is welcome.

Terry Danek, a longtime Rotarian of the Morris Rotary Club, was Channahon-Minooka’s first president. When he first saw a new club was forming, he came over to take a look.

“Here I am 10 years later,” he said.

“I think it’s a great club,” Danek said. “I helped to give them a good foundation. We have had a lot of accomplishments, we have done a lot.”

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

‘He really saw them as his kids’ Morris man coached thousands on and off the field

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com MORRIS – During the graveside services for Charles “Chuck” Farinella of Morris, eight of Chuck’s “sons” talked for three to five unscripted minutes each about how much Chuck meant to them, said Chuck’s son, also named Chuck Farinella, of Woodridge.

These men weren’t his biological sons, Farinella said. They were Chuck’s former students, just eight of thousands Chuck impacted during his more than 30 years of service at Proviso East School in Maywood, where Chuck worked as a physical education teacher, mentor and football and track coach.

One man had driven all night from Maryland to attend the funeral, Farinella said. Another came in from

Georgia, missed the services, but made it to the cemetery, just because he wanted to pay his respects.

Chuck had taught and coached them in an era of race riots, Farinella said, which caused some of the teachers to leave. Chuck was not one of them “My dad was a father figure to them. He really saw them as his kids,” Farinella said.

“They came Charles from all walks of life and very “Chuck” Farinella easily could have gotten into drugs or gangs, but my father had a unique ability to motivate them. He’d make numerous phone calls to colleges – with the kids sitting in his office – and say, ‘Your institution will be better by

having this kid in it.’ ” According to information compiled by Chuck’s family, a number of athletes under Chuck’s mentoring went to the Illinois High School Association State Track meet each year and nearly 100 of them placed. Noteworthy occasions were winning the team state title in 1980, as well as third place in 1976 and fourth in 1975 and 1985.

Student athletes under Chuck’s direction also won numerous conference titles.

One former student, Greg Foster, won state titles for the 120 yard high hurdle and the 330 yard low hurdle; he also won titles at the national level. He went on to win medals at the Olympics and the World Championships.

But for all the successes that had their start with Chuck’s guidance, Chuck’s family knew little of Chuck’s

own athletic career until they began pouring through his scrapbooks after his July 7 death at the age of 82.

They had known that Chuck, after graduating from the now closed DePaul Academy High School in 1950, had attended Kansas State University on a football scholarship and started for the Wildcats as a 210-pound offensive tackle, Farinella said.

“We didn’t know he had been the captain of the boxing team and the track team in high school,” Farinella said.

“He didn’t talk about himself.

It was never about him.”

For Chuck, said Joe Farinella of Arizona, it was always about his kids, the ones he taught and coached, as well as his own. In addition

to Farinella and Joe, Chuck and his wife of 57 years – Annette – raised Laurie Sobol of Morris and Carol Radek of Naperville.

It wasn’t just his kids’ participation in sports that interested Chuck, Joe said, but how they fared in the overall game of life, long after many of them lost interest in athletics. That, Joe added, was the pride of his father’s life.

“He’d offer advice, but it was homespun, commonsense advice and these kids took it.

We all did,” Joe said. “When we needed a firm hand, it was there. When we needed a shoulder to cry on, it was there. That’s what mattered to him the most.”

Opening on Saturday saw a large crowd • DOG PARK Continued from page 3 she usually goes to doesn’t have a small dog area. She’s very friendly, so she loves socializing with the other dogs.”

The park is the Forest Preserve District of Will County’s fifth dog park and the first in Joliet. It has three 2.5-acre fenced-in dog runs – one for dogs that weigh 35 pounds or less, one for larger dogs and one more for rotation purposes to keep the turf healthy.

The opening Saturday had a large attendance, with owners holding or standing with their dogs and puppies while waiting in line to be the

first to check it out. Most of the pets were well-behaved.

Some seemed anxious at all the hoopla, and others looked as if they had not yet had obedience training. The Channahon Junior High School marching band played “The Star-Spangled Banner,” and various dignitaries gave short speeches of welcome and cut the ribbon.

“We’re very excited by this turnout,” said Marcy DeMauro, executive Director of the Forest Preserve District. “Our dog parks are very popular.

People want places to take their dogs and let them run off-leash. It’s a good place for owners to socialize, too.”

The park was designed

with double runaway protection. Dogs and owners first enter gates into a small cemented area, then they go through a second set of gates into the runs. If a dog happens to slip through one gate unescorted, the second gate keeps him safely in the park.

The smaller dogs seemed to enjoy running their little hearts out, and the big ones flew through the grass, chasing each other and catching Frisbees.

“This park has been in the making for four or five years,” Forest Preserve Board President Donald Gould said. “And it will benefit the people of Will County for many years.”

Film, TV legend James Garner, reluctant hero, dies

By FRAZIER MOORE The Associated Press NEW YORK – Few actors could register disbelief, exasperation or annoyance with more comic subtlety.

James Garner had a way of widening his eyes while the corner of his mouth sagged ever so slightly. Maybe he would swallow once to further make his point.

This portrait of fleeting disquiet could be understood, and identified with, by every member of the audience.

Never mind Garner was tall,

brawny and, well, movie-star handsome. The persona he perfected was never less than manly, good with his dukes and charming to the ladies, but his heroics were kept human-scale thanks to his gift for the comic turn. He remained one of James the people.

He burst on Garner the scene with this disarming style in the 1950s TV Western “Maverick,” which led to a

stellar career in TV and films such as “The Rockford Files” and his Oscar-nominated “Murphy’s Romance.”

The 86-year-old Garner, who was found dead of natural causes at his Los Angeles home on Saturday, was adept at drama and action. But he was best known for his lowkey, wisecracking style, especially on his hit TV series, “Maverick” and “The Rockford Files.”

His quick-witted avoidance of conflict offered a refreshing new take on the American hero, contrasting

with the blunt toughness of John Wayne and the laconic trigger-happiness of Clint Eastwood.

There’s no better display of Garner’s everyman majesty than the NBC series “The Rockford Files” (1974-80). He played an L.A. private eye and wrongly jailed ex-con who seemed to rarely get paid, or even get thanks, for the cases he took, while helplessly getting drawn into trouble to help someone who was neither a client nor maybe even a friend. He lived in a trailer with an answering machine

that, in the show’s opening titles, always took a message that had nothing to do with a paying job, but more often was a complaining call from a cranky creditor.

Through it all, Jim Rockford, however down on his luck, persevered hopefully.

He wore the veneer of a cynic, but led with his heart. Putting all that on screen was Garner’s magic.

When Garner received the Screen Actors Guild’s lifetime achievement award in 2005, he quipped, “I’m not at all sure how I got here.”

Quinn, Rauner use jobs claims as campaign weapons

CHAMPAIGN – Gov. Pat Quinn and Republican rival Bruce Rauner have both sought to use the state’s jobs situation as a political weapon.

But their claims and the numbers behind them demonstrate that the picture isn’t nearly as clear as either Quinn or Rauner suggests.

Many of those claims center on one set of numbers in particular: How many people are employed in Illinois and what that says about the state’s economy.

Rauner’s campaign has repeatedly said that, under Quinn, Illinois has and is losing jobs.

“Illinoisans are still suffering after years of Pat Quinn’s high tax policies, and the state has lost thousands of jobs this year alone,” spokesman Mike Schrimpf said Thursday.

But Quinn’s camp maintains the state has added jobs since Quinn took office in January 2009.

“The bottom line, just as a matter of fact, is that there are more people working in Illinois today than there were when the governor took office,” Quinn campaign spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said.

The numbers say both claims are accurate. But that doesn’t tell the whole story.

Quinn OKs cannabis use for kids with epilepsy

CHICAGO – Minors with epilepsy would be allowed to use medical marijuana under a measure Gov. Pat Quinn signed Sunday.

The measure adds seizures to the list of treatable conditions in the state’s medical cannabis program and allows children with seizures from epilepsy to

Construction workers build a commercial complex Thursday in Springfield. The state jobless rate has dropped for four straight months and is at its lowest point since October 2008. Illinois has lagged the country as a whole in its recovery from recession, and the state’s unemployment rate has been among the worst in the country for months. Thursday’s report provides signs that Illinois may be starting to catch up. Construction companies added 3,500 jobs in June, an increase of 1.8 percent.

consume oil from the marijuana plant with a parent’s consent.

The original medical marijuana law had allowed only Illinois residents 18 years and older to use the drug in a four-year pilot program.

The legislation, which takes effect in January, had been pushed by families in Illinois with children that experience hundreds of seizures a day, said Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Chicago President and CEO Kurt Florian.

Quinn anti-violence spending didn’t pull big votes

CHICAGO – An analysis shows that Gov. Pat Quinn’s troubled anti-violence program, which critics have called a “political slush fund,” didn’t do him much good in

his 2010 campaign.

The Chicago Sun-Times, which analyzed the numbers, reported that in Chicago neighborhoods where the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative’s $54 million was spent, voter turnout in 2010 was 2 percentage points higher than it was in 2006, when former Gov. Rod Blagojevich ran for governor.

That wasn’t much different than the 1.9 percentage point increase in voter turnout for the same period in neighborhoods that did not receive such funding.

The difference was a bit more pronounced in the suburbs. The paper found that voter turnout improved in areas that got NRI money by 3.8 percentage points, compared to a 1.8 percentage point increase in suburban areas that didn’t get any NRI money.

Bond set for driver in Naperville quarry crash

WHEATON – Bond has been set at $250,000 for a 21-year-old Geneva man whose car plunged into a water-filled quarry, killing two men who were unable to escape.

DuPage County Judge Timothy McJoynt set bond Sunday morning for Michael Szot.

State’s Attorney Robert Berlin had asked for a bond of $3 million.

Prosecutors say Szot was drunk when he failed to make a curve and drove into the quarry in Naperville. Divers later discovered the bodies of Sajaad Syed and Mihirtej Boddupalli still in the vehicle. Prosectuors say Szot’s blood alcohol content was above the legal limit.

Police: Woman posted selfies in stolen dress

WEST FRANKFORT – Police investigating the theft of clothing and jewelry from a southern Illinois boutique say they arrested a woman after she posted Facebook photos of herself wearing one of the stolen items.

WSIL-TV reported that police arrested 27-year-old Danielle Saxton, of West Frankfort, earlier this month on misdemeanor retail theft charges. She’s free on her own recognizance.

Authorities say a distinctive leopard-print dress was among the items stolen July 11 from Mortie’s Boutique in West Frankfort.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Helpful weather coming to Washington wildfires WINTHROP, Wash. – Cooler temperatures and lighter winds are forecast to descend on wildfire-stricken Washington state, helping firefighters battle flames that have been growing unfettered for a week and have covered hundreds of square miles.

While Sunday’s weather has slight improvements on the hot temperatures and gusty winds that have fueled the wildfires, the forecast for Monday and Tuesday calls for lighter winds and temperatures, said Spokane-based National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Koch.

“Overall, it looks like the weather scenario is improving,” Koch said.

Then on Wednesday a “vigorous” front is expected to cover Washington, bringing rain to much of the state. But it will also bring lighting, he added.

Sunday’s official estimate puts the wildfire burning in north-central Washington at more than 370 square miles. It measured 260 square miles on Friday.

Bus becomes shower for homeless in San Francisco SAN FRANCISCO – A nonprofit group is taking a novel approach to helping the homeless in San Francisco with a new bus that allows them to take a shower.

The former public transit bus has been outfitted with two full private bathrooms and offers hot showers, clean toilets, shampoo, soap and towels free of charge.

The founder of the nonprofit Lava Mae mobile shower bus said she wanted to return a sense of dignity to those living on the streets.

“If you’re homeless, you’re living on the streets and you’re filthy, you’re trying to improve your circumstances, but you can’t interview for a job, you can’t apply for housing and you get disconnected from your sense of humanity,” Doniece Sandoval said. “So a shower just in of itself is amazing for people.”

Lava Mae said the bus is mobile, allowing it to reach homeless people scattered throughout the city. And having a facility on wheels eliminates the potential for rent hikes and evictions in a city with high real estate prices.

Philippine leader OKs cigarette warnings MANILA, Philippines – Philippine President Benigno Aquino III, a known smoker, has signed a law requiring tobacco companies to put graphic health warnings on cigarette packs in a country where thousands of people die every year from tobacco-linked diseases, an official said Sunday.

Aquino signed the law Friday “to effectively instill health consciousness through graphic health warnings on tobacco products,” presidential spokesman Herminio Coloma Jr. said.

With the law, the Philippines joins more than 40 other nations and territories that have adopted similar regulations and brought the battle against smoking to the cover of cigarette packs.

Scores dead in first major ground battle in Gaza

By KARIN LAUB and TIA GOLDENBERG The Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – The first major ground battle in two weeks of Israel-Hamas fighting exacted a steep price Sunday: It killed 65 Palestinians and 13 Israeli soldiers and forced thousands of terrified Palestinian civilians to flee their neighborhood, reportedly used to launch rockets at Israel and now devastated by the fighting.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the offensive would continue “as long as necessary” to end attacks from Gaza on Israeli civilians.

But Hamas seems defiant, international cease-fire efforts are stalled, and international criticism is becoming more vocal as the death toll among Palestinian civilians rises.

U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon called Israel’s latest incursion “atrocious,” and said it must do far more to protect civilians.

In Israel, public opinion will struggle to tolerate rising military losses in an open-ended campaign. Already, Sunday’s deaths marked the highest number of soldiers killed on a single day since Israel’s war in Lebanon in 2006.

The ferocious battle in Gaza City’s Shijaiyah neighborhood came on the third day of Israel’s ground offensive, which had been preceded by a 10-day air campaign.

In all, at least 432 Palestinians were killed and more than 3,000 wounded in the past two weeks. The overall death toll on the Israeli side rose to 20, including 18 soldiers, along with dozens of wounded troops, during that period.

On Sunday evening, Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri in Gaza claimed his group had captured an Israeli soldier. An announcement on Gaza TV of the soldier’s capture set off celebration in the

But the claim could not immediately be verified and the Israeli military said it was investigating the report. Hamas has made similar claims of capturing Israelis in the past that were not true. For Israelis, a captured soldier would be a nightmare scenario. Hamas-allied militants seized an Israeli soldier in a cross-border raid in 2006 and held him captive in Gaza until Israel traded more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners, some of whom were involved in grisly killings, for his return in 2011.

Sunday’s battle began when Israeli troops backed by tanks entered the densely populated Shijaiyah district just after midnight Sunday. They were met by a “huge” level of resistance by Hamas fighters who fired anti-tank missiles, rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons from houses and buildings, said Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an army spokesman.

Residents said they came under intense Israeli tank fire.

“The gate of hell has opened, and shrapnel came through the windows,” Shijaiyah resident Jawad Hassanain said by phone. He and his family fled to a nearby building after their house shook from explosions.

After daybreak, the extent

of the devastation slowly became apparent: At least 65 Palestinians had been killed and nearly 300 wounded, Gaza health officials said, while dozens of homes badly damaged or destroyed.

Casualties were rushed to Gaza’s central Shifa Hospital. Wailing parents, some covered with blood or dust from debris, carried children peppered by shrapnel, and the emergency room quickly overflowed, forcing doctors to treat some patients in a hallway.

During a brief Red Cross-brokered lull later in the day, rescue workers toured the neighborhood to retrieve the dead, pulling bodies from the rubble of homes.

In a last sweep of the area on Sunday afternoon, rescue workers heard the faint voice of a woman in the rubble of a house.

In the incident witnessed

by Associated Press journalists, rescue workers tried to organize a bulldozer, but the situation was deemed too dangerous and the crew left.

Later, the rescue workers returned with a bulldozer, after coordination with Israeli forces through the Red Crescent, and pulled the three from the rubble, said Said Hamam, a member of the rescue services.

TOREZ, Ukraine – Pro-Moscow rebels piled nearly 200 bodies from the downed Malaysian jetliner into four refrigerated boxcars Sunday in eastern Ukraine, and cranes at the crash scene moved big chunks of the Boeing 777, drawing condemnation from Western leaders that the rebels were tampering with the site.

The United States, meanwhile, presented what it called “powerful” evidence that the rebels shot down the plane with a Russian surfaceto-air missile and training.

Although other governments have stopped short of accusing Russia of actually causing the crash, the U.S. was ahead of most in pointing blame on Moscow for the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 that killed all 298 people aboard.

“Russia is supporting these separatists. Russia is arming these separatists. Russia is training these separatists,” Secretary of State John Kerry said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Leaders of Britain, France, Germany and Australia spoke to Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone late Sunday, urging him to use his influence on the separatists to ensure the victims could be repatriated and international investigators could have full access to collect evidence.

They said European foreign ministers will be meeting in Brussels Tuesday to consider further sanctions on Russia.

More than three days after the jetliner crashed, international investigators still had only limited access to the sprawling fields where the plane fell.

U.N. Security Council diplomats tweeted Sunday that the council would vote Monday afternoon on a draft resolution co-sponsored by Australia, France and Lithuania that would call for full access to the

crash site and an independent investigation.

“Investigators must have immediate full access to MH17 crash site, & bodies treated with dignity,” British Ambassador Mark Lyall Grant tweeted.

British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a blistering opinion piece for the Sunday Times, said “the growing weight of evidence” suggests the rebels shot down the plane, and if that is so, “this is a direct result of Russia destabilizing a sovereign state, violating its territorial integrity, backing thuggish militias and training and arming them.”

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, whose country lost 28 citizens in the tragedy, said Putin “said all the right things” during their telephone conversation about ensuring an international investigation into the disaster.

“I’m now going to try to ensure that as far as Australia humanly can, we insist upon these things happening,” Abbott told Sydney Radio 2GB on Monday. “The site is being treated more like a garden clean-up than a forensic investigation, and this is completely unacceptable.”

Russian officials have blamed Ukraine’s government for creating the situation and atmosphere in which the plane was downed, but has yet to directly address the allegations that the separatists were responsible or were operating with technical assistance from Moscow.

The 42-square-mile crash site, spread out on farmland and villages, looked dramatically different Sunday, a day after armed rebels had stood guard while dozens of bodies lay in the summer heat. The rebels were gone, and 192 bodies were loaded into the refrigerated train cars in the rebel-held town of Torez, nine miles away.

The Ukrainian government said in a statement on its website that a second train with four refrigerator cars had arrived at Torez station.

ANOTHER VIEW

Enough highway gimmicks with Congress It’s not quite fair to call this a do-nothing Congress.

It’s really a do-the-bare-minimum-at-the-last-possible-moment-to-keep-the-country-fromactually-collapsing Congress.

The handling of the Highway Trust Fund provides the latest master class in this debauched style of government.

For six years, Congress has been plugging holes in the fund caused by declining gas-tax revenue. During the past two decades, the gas tax has been frozen at 18.4 cents a gallon and eroded by inflation; cars have become more fuel-efficient, and their use has leveled off. As a result, the tax can no longer cover the government’s share – about 27 percent – maintaining the country’s roads and bridges.

One in three major American roads is in poor or mediocre condition, according to the American Society of Civil Engineers, and even more are severely congested. The cost to the average motorist is more than $1,000 a year.

There are many ways to solve this problem. Raising the gas tax would be the simplest; other options include imposing new user fees on roads and bridges, creating more public-private partnerships, and adopting congestion pricing.

All of these have merit.

Congress has had years to do it. Instead of providing the needed funds in a stable way, it has adopted temporary patches. Now, with the trust fund about to run out of money, it is kicking the can down the pothole-filled road again by relying on another gimmick – “pension smoothing” – to keep the fund solvent through next spring.

Pension smoothing is a euphemism for letting companies put less money into employees’ retirement funds. This raises taxable income in the short run, generating more revenue for the federal government.

Eventually companies will have to make up for the shortfalls, which will lower future taxable income. In effect, Con-

gress is using future revenue to pay for current spending – but without calling it borrowing, to which it’s opposed. It’s a scam.

The House, by a vote of 36755, passed the pension-smoothing bill Tuesday, even though members who call themselves fiscal conservatives were advised to oppose it by the Club for Growth and Heritage Action.

It’s a shame that President Barack Obama and members of Congress, including those who wanted to raise the gas tax, didn’t find another solution to the funding problem.

The president reluctantly endorsed the House bill, explaining that he does not want to see the fund run dry in August, as the Department of Transportation said it will.

That’s understandable, but it’s also shortsighted.

Without strong political pressure, Congress will keep the gimmicks coming – and that needs to stop.

“The CSBL is a competitive league and a lot of the guys take it seriously, and it really helps us get prepped for when we go back to school.

Coming from Calvin, it’s good to come back here and play at a high level and play against guys that you know and that’s a cool aspect.”

Joliet (10-9 South Division) won the opener, 4-3, as Austin Mastela (Lockport/ Lewis) went 4 for 4 with three extra-base hits. The Dirtbags’

“You don’t want to get rusty, so you want to keep competing,” the Dirtbags’ Tom Hayes said. “This is a great group of guys and I’m glad that I got on the team. Everyone on the team is competitive and we’re doing it for one goal, which is to stay crisp for the college season.

“But we don’t take it too seriously where we’re stressing out and we want to have fun.

Now that I know all of these

guys from St. Francis, it will make the games during the year more fun when you see some familiar faces. This is my first year here and I love this team.”

NEW LENOX – After playing many games with their college teams, one would think baseball players would like to take the summer off.

But for players on the Joliet Dirtbags and the Romeoville Royals, competing throughout the summer in the Chicago Suburban Baseball League can be beneficial.

The squads met up for a doubleheader on Sunday at Lincoln-Way West and although both would have preferred a 2-0 day as opposed to the split that happened, what seemed more important is just remaining sharp by playing with and against other good players.

So whether athletes are attending Division I programs or performing for colleges that many people may not have heard of, staying busy throughout the summer is critical.

“While we want to come out here and have fun, we also want to be competitive,” said Joliet’s Cody Columbus, who graduated from Joliet Catholic and plays at St. Francis.

“You want to make sure that your skills are there so that you’re ready when you go back to school.

“We have a lot of Lewis guys on our team and even though they’re at a higher level than us, they can still relate to all of us. And for the guys on our team who are from St. Xavier, we don’t fight over who’s going to win in the regular season.”

The Dirtbags, who are coached by Kevin Campbell, and the Royals, who are coached by Mike Guilfoyle, both have rosters that feature a wide-range of college athletes.

“There’s a lot of good competition in this league and it’s great to compete against guys that I grew up playing against,” said the Royals Ben Guilfoyle, who played at Plainfield East and now competes at Calvin College (Michigan). “It’s always great competition between

“There are a lot of good players in this league and the baseball is very competitive,” said the Royals Caleb Kissel, who played at Plainfield North and now goes to Rose-Hulman. “So it definitely makes you better when you go back to school in the fall.

“We have a lot of nice guys on our team who know how to play ball and they play hard so it’s fun to be around them.

And it’s nice to come back from one summer to the next to see how everyone is doing and see how their school year went.”

While both are chasing Beecher (12-8) and Crestwood (13-10-1) in the South Division, they’re pleased with what they’re accomplishing this summer.

“We come out here and compete every day, whether it’s against a guy from a Division I or II school or any other type of competition,” said the Dirtbags’ Bryan Polak, who like Hayes goes to SXU. “But a big thing about the summer is winning and having some fun, too.

“Everybody wants to compete every day and get better at the game, whether it’s at the plate or in the field. Any way that you can get better is what it’s all about. We have a group of characters on our team, so keeping it loose is a big part of being on this team.”

Nationwide race whets appetite for September JOLIET – The official box score from Saturday night’s EnjoyIllinois300 at Chicagoland Speedway reported 17 lead changes and 11 different leaders.

There always will be lead changes as pit stops run their course. But the true indication of what an outstanding race it was came from how many times the lead changed hands during full-blown racing.

For instance, Brian Scott led from the pole through Lap 20, when he was passed by eventual winner Chase Elliott.

Ryan Blaney took over from Elliott, who runs for JR Motorsports, in Lap 73 and held the top spot through the second round of pit stops.

Kyle Larson passed Blaney on Lap 128 and was in command for the next 15 laps.

Elliott came back to lead for 16 laps, through 158, before Blaney got the lead back for four laps.

That’s where Trevor Bayne, the eventual runner-up, jumped into the mix, leading through Lap 176. But Elliott passed Bayne and held him off the rest of the way in the 200lap event for his third victory of the season. He led a racehigh 85 laps.

A rookie who moved back into the Nationwide Series points lead, Elliott won earlier this season at Texas and Darlington. So all three of his Nationwide victories have

come on tracks he saw for the first time.

“We had an awesome race,” Elliott said. “I try to make the most of my practice laps. They gave me a good car. That gives me time to learn the track in practice.”

Bayne thought he was reeling in Elliott down the stretch but ran out of time.

“The gap was closing,” he said. “Probably 10 more laps, but we’ll never know.”

As dethroned points leader Regan Smith had predicted, the Nationwide race was competitive regardless of how many Sprint Cup drivers were entered. Larson and Kasey Kahne were the only Sprint Cup drivers here on a week off for the Sprint Cup Series.

Elliott leads the Nationwide point standings by seven over Smith and eight over Elliott Sadler. Ty Dillon is 30 behind, Scott 47 down and Bayne trails by 50. All six have a realistic shot at the season championship.

Smith’s struggles at Chicagoland continued as he finished 16th. Sadler settled for 10th. Dillon ran fifth, just behind Kahne.

Young Erik Jones, meanwhile, made his Nationwide debut a success. He had the Joe Gibbs Racing No. 20 Toyota in the top 10 virtually the entire night and finished seventh.

Jones won the Truck Series race for Kyle Busch Motor-

VIEWS Dick Goss sports a week earlier at Iowa.

Jones said the race would be a learning experience for him. He apparently learns in a hurry.

From our standpoint, the EnjoyIllinois300.com whets our appetite for September, when NASCAR returns to Chicagoland for a weekend with a Truck Series race, a Nationwide race and the Cup race that kicks off the 10-race Chase for the Sprint Cup.

HONORING FRED LORENZEN A nice sidelight to Saturday’s racing occurred in the newly created Legends Club high atop Chicagoland Speedway.

Amanda Lorenzen Gardstrom, daughter of NASCAR great and Elmhurst native Fred Lorenzen, was on hand for the unveiling of her dad’s photo in the club. He is in ill health and was unable to attend.

The elder Lorenzen was among five who were elected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in May. He was only 33 when he retired from racing but already had accomplished so much.

He remains the only driver to have 20 victories in his first 100 starts. In 1963 alone, he had six wins, 21 top-fives and 23

top-10s in 29 races. He won the Daytona 500 and World 600 in 1965 and was the first NASCAR driver to earn more than $100,000 in a season.

“He retired at age 33 because of family,” Amanda said. “He was such a good dad. The sport lost a great driver when he retired, and we gained a dad.

“He was very humble. He never really said to me why he retired, but it later came out that it was family.”

Chicagoland Speedway president Scott Paddock said the unveiling of pictures in the Legends Club “is a way to pay homage to the pioneers and legends of the sport. We see the economic influence from what these guys did for the sport. The

Sprint Cup race in September alone will pump $150 million into the local economy.”

Paddock has been helping beat the drum for Lorenzen’s inclusion in the NASCAR Hall of Fame in recent years, and it will become official when he is inducted in January of 2015.

“The NASCAR Hall of Fame has been around about four or five years,” Paddock said. “I was discouraged in the early years that he didn’t get in. No doubt he deserved it.

“To have one of our own in the NASCAR Hall of Fame is incredible. There are only about 30 total members.”

Don’t just landscape Waterscape!

SPONSORED BY

By Diane Krieger Spivak With more people opting for staycations, a growing trend in landscape design is waterscaping. Who doesn’t like to relax and unwind near a babbling brook, fountain, or waterfall?

No matter the size of your potential personal paradise, whether a tiny lot or acres upon acres, incorporating water features into your landscape can transform a blah backyard into a lush, restful haven, and could be easier and more affordable than you might imagine.

Depending on the size and complexity of your project and how willing you are to roll up your sleeves - you can do the job yourself or call an expert in landscape design.

Water features come in many forms - container water gardens, fountains, bubbling urns, waterfalls and ecosystem ponds.

The do-it-yourselfer with little time or space can easily set up a small tabletop fountain

or container water garden. If you want to go large, you can put in a pond or lake. Waterfalls are possible even in small spaces, and a waterscape can also include a water garden, with aquatic plants and/or fish, and even underwater lighting.

There are several types of ponds available to create your waterscape. A preformed pond is a hard shell you place in the ground. A liner pond is made with a flexible liner than you can make into any shape, or depth, that you want. A filter will circulate the water and keep it fresh.

That Perennial Place, in Morris, a family-run landscaping business, has installed more than 600 ponds and water gardens, from basic to extravagant, and offers a beautiful selection of koi fish to include in your waterscape’s pond.

Their professional designers can install and maintain both residential and commercial waterscapes.

GOLF

Platt, Gleason, Middleton win divisions

BY DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

“We were dating then.

That was a good thing.

If we had been married, I don’t if it would have worked out as well as it did.”

Fran Gleason Plainfield resident on her husband, Ken, teaching her to golf travels around the country playing in these contests, about one a month,” Tabisz said. “He even did one in Utah.”

Just before the Open Division took over, Platt, the director of instruction at Mistwood, wowed the crowd with a 298yard bomb that overtook Mike Ferguson’s 297 to win the MAC Division (Middle-Age Crisis Division) for 45 to 54 year-olds.

Tony Giese had boomed a 292-yard drive earlier, which wound up third.

“I’ve got a little longer driver this year,” said Platt, the

Providence boys coach. “With being at Mistwood, I’m able to make up my own clubs. But once the wind kicked up like it did, I thought I had no chance.

I’m usually about hitting it in play.”

Platt has entered the competition previously and said he usually is good for second or third place.

“Jeff Stubler and Ron Klover have won it before,” he said. “At least I beat Ted [Joliet Park District director of revenue facilities Ted Brodeur]. I had a little side bet with him.”

Brodeur finished fourth at 283 yards.

Former Joliet Catholic standout athlete Christie Seddon appeared in good shape in the Women’s Division with her 231-yard drive. But Plainfield resident Fran Gleason stole the thunder with a 240-yard poke.

“It’s funny, I haven’t really golfed for five years because we have two small kids,” said Gleason, 41 and a Plainfied resident.

“A friend asked me to come to ladies night out here about a

month ago, and [University of St. Francis men’s coach] Paul Downey said I should come out to the long driving contest. So I did.”

Gleason said her husband, Ken, taught her to play golf about 10 or 11 years ago. “We were dating then,” she said.

“That was a good thing. If we had been married, I don’t know if it would have worked out as well as it did.”

Middleton’s victory in the Seniors Division (55-over) came compliments of a 277yard drive. That beat Al Van Gampler’s 269.

“I just turned 55 so this was my first year in the senior group,” he said. “My first five shots missed the grid, and I wasn’t happy about that. But I stayed calm and got one that felt good.”

Middleton said he is retiring at the end of August, so he anticipates playing a significant amount of golf in the near future. The long-drive contest figures to be among his “must’ events.

Having Trouble Joliet comes up short versus Windy City Hearing

THUNDERBOLTS 5, SLAMMERS 3

JOLIET – Windy City beat the Slammers, 5-3, Sunday at Silver Cross Field to take the rubber match of the threegame series in Frontier League action.

The Thunderbolts (19-34) led the Slammers (21-33), 5-3, in the bottom of the ninth, but Joliet, as it had Saturday, managed to get the potential winning run to the plate.

Jake Gronsky drew a oneout walk and stole second.

Grant DeBruin was hit by a pitch with two outs. That gave Adam Giacalone a chance for some ninth-inning heroics.

Giacalone worked the count to 3-2 before swinging and missing a fastball from the Thunderbolts’ Daniel Carela, who earned his fifth save.

Windy City’s Travis Tingle (53) earned the win.

The Thunderbolts touched

up Joliet starter Colin Gotzon (0-1) for three runs in the first inning. The Slammers’ righthander walked Evan Button to start the game, could not get to Michael Torres bunt in time, and then allowed Kyle Robinson’s three-run homer.

The Slammers picked Gotzon up in the bottom of the first, tieing the game at 3.

Gronsky reached on an infield single. Russell Moldenhauer walked and DeBruin singled to left to load the bases. Giacalone followed with a single to right to score Gronsky and Moldenhauer. Seth Granger’s fielder’s choice forced Giacalone but it enabled DeBruin to tie the game.

“I was trying to get something in play to get our offense going,” Giacalone said.

Gotzon worked himself out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the fourth inning. After retiring the first two hitters, he gave up singles to Max White

and Davidson Peguero before walking Andrew Brauer. Gotzon struck out Spencer Castro swinging to end the threat.

Windy City broke the tie in the top of the fifth inning.

Button doubled to right,Torres dropped another bunt for a base hit and Robinson delivered a sacrifice fly to center to score Button. After Ryan Soares singled to center, Slammers manager Jeff Isom went to the bullpen for lefty Matt Crim to face left-handed hitter Ryan McIntyre. McIntyre laid down a bunt that Crim could not field, allowing Torres to score to make it 5-3.

The Slammers host Traverse City for a three-game series starting at 7:05 p.m. Monday.

“Our team is definitely good enough to string some wins together,” Giacalone said. “We’ve lost a lot of close ones. We’re right there. We just have to get it going.”

JOLIET – Tim Middleton, Fran Gleason and John Platt had scored exciting victories in their respective divisions.

It was time for the real heavy hitters to step to the tee.

They did not disappoint.

Hitting his six tee shots into a breeze that varied from moderate to light, Joe Tabisz put a 320-yard drive on the grid to slip past a crowded field and win the Open Division in the Joliet Park District Longest Drive Contest on Friday at Inwood.

Before hundreds of fans in the annual event organized by Inwood general manager Brian Legan, Tabisz’s drive slipped past Mark Swinford’s 319-yard

effort. Steve Kois came in at 317 yards and Jason Bogart and Ryan Herter at 315.

Defending champion Frank Hohenadel did not compete.

“This was my first one of these ever,” said Tabisz, an Aurora resident and an elementary school teacher in Naperville.

“My dad heard about it through a buddy who got in last year.

My wife is in Wisconsin this weekend, so I’m a free man. My folks came with me to watch.”

The lanky Tabisz, 31, said he usually hits drives “340 to 350, but the 320 was the only one I got in.”

He said he was cut from his high school golf team as a freshman at Downers Grove South and, “I guess I got angry. I get up there and hit the ball hard.”

While the distance is what gets quoted, a tee shot must hit inside the grid and finish its roll inside the grid in order to count.

While local players compete, so do some from outside the Joliet area.

BRITISH OPEN

McIlroy wins 3rd major

By DOUG FERGUSON

Final Leaderboard

The Associated Press HOYLAKE, England – Walking off the 18th green as the British Open champion, Rory McIlroy kept gazing at all the greats on golf’s oldest trophy.

On the claret jug, his name is etched in silver below Phil Mickelson.

In the record book, he is listed behind Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods as the youngest to get three legs of the career Grand Slam.

And over four days at Royal Liverpool, he had no equal.

“I’m immensely proud of myself,” McIlroy said after his two-shot victory Sunday that was never really in doubt. “To sit here, 25 years of age, and win my third major championship and be three-quarters of the way to a career Grand Slam ... yeah, I never dreamed of being at this point in my career so quickly.”

He had to work a little harder than he wanted for this one.

Staked to a six-shot lead going into the final round, McIlroy turned back every challenge. He made two key birdies around the turn, and delivered a majestic drive at just the right moment to close with a 1-under-par 71 and com-

After Sunday’s fourth round Rory McIlroy -17 Rickie Fowler -15 Sergio Garcia -15 Jim Furyk -13 Marc Leishman -12 Adam Scott -12 Edoardo Molinari -11 Charl Schwartzel -11 Victor Dubuisson -10 Shane Lowry -10 Graeme McDowell -10 plete his wire-to-wire victory.

In another major lacking tension over the final hour, what brought The Open to life was the potential of its champion.

After almost two years of turmoil, McIlroy looked like the kid who shattered scoring records to win the 2011 U.S. Open at Congressional, and who won the PGA Championship at Kiawah Island by a record eight shots a year later.

Boy Wonder is back. Or maybe he’s just getting started again.

McIlroy won by two shots over Sergio Garcia and Rickie Fowler to become the first start-to-finish winner since Woods at St. Andrews in 2005.

Even with one major left this year, the Northern Irishman already is looking ahead to Au-

gusta National next April for a shot at the slam.

“I’ve really found my passion again for golf,” McIlroy said. “Not that it ever dwindled, but it’s what I think about when I get up in the morning.

It’s what I think about when I go to bed. I just want to be the best golfer that I can be. And I know if I can do that, then trophies like this are within my capability.”

McIlroy put an end to this major with a powerful drive down the fairway at the par5 16th, setting up a two-putt birdie to restore his lead to three shots. He finished with two pars, tapping in for par on the 18th green.

The hard part was trying not to cry when his mother, Rosie, came onto the green with tears streaming down her face. She was not at the other two majors. Before leaving, McIlroy turned and applauded the fans in the horseshoe arena who were witness to another masterpiece.

This could have been another romp except for a shaky stretch early for McIlroy, and solid efforts from Garcia and Fowler.

“I think that we gave it a good effort,” Garcia said. “And there was someone a little bit better.”

PHOENIX – Josh Collmenter threw seven sharp innings, Arizona scored on an unusual play in the sixth inning and the Diamondbacks completed a threegame sweep of the Cubs with a 3-2 victory Sunday.

The only run off Collmenter (8-5) came on Anthony Rizzo’s 23rd home run of the season and third of the series.

Arizona’s go-ahead run scored from third base when the first baseman Rizzo caught a pop foul while tumbling into the camera well.

By rule, runners are awarded a base when a defensive player carries the ball out of play. David Peralta scored on the play to put the Diamondbacks up, 2-1. Peralta also drove in two runs with a double and single.

Jake Arrieta (5-2) allowed three runs and four hits in 62/3 innings for the Cubs.

Collmenter gave up four hits, struck out four and walked one.

Addison Reed pitched a perfect ninth for his 23rd save in 28 tries. The Diamondbacks are 3-0 after the All-Star break for the second time in franchise history.

The other was in 2002. It was Arizona’s second sweep of the season, first at home.

The game was scoreless through five innings, then Rizzo lashed the first pitch he saw in the sixth into the seats in the right corner, moving into a tie for the NL homer lead (23) with Miami’s Giancarlo Stanton.

Rizzo homered twice in the series opener.

Arizona scored twice in the sixth, the first on consecutive doubles by Ender Inciarte and Peralta. Peralta scored from third when Rizzo caught Aaron Hill’s high pop foul as he fell over the bar protecting the camera well near the Cubs dugout.

Ryan Sweeney made two big catches in center for the Cubs. The second was the most spectacular, when he ran deep toward the wall to barely flag down Paul Goldschmidt’s deep fly.

ASTROS 11, WHITE SOX 7

Sox lose slugfest at home

By PAUL LADEWSKI The Associated Press CHICAGO – Matt Dominguez hit a two-run homer and a tiebreaking RBI double, and the Houston Astros tied their season high with 17 hits in an 11-7 win over the White Sox on Sunday that prevented a three-game sweep.

The Sox fell behind, 4-0, early and tied the score 7-all in the sixth on Alexei Ramirez’s RBI double, Jose Abreu’s run-scoring single and a run-scoring two-out grounder by Dayan Viciedo that went through the legs of All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve for Houston’s

second error of the inning.

Daniel Webb (5-3) allowed RBI doubles in the seventh to Dominguez and L.J. Hoes, and Marwin Gonzalez followed with a two-run single.

Dominguez had three hits and four RBIs. Tony Sipp (2-1) pitched 11/3 scoreless innings as Houston stopped a three-game skid. Josh Fields and Chad Qualls got three straight outs each.

Houston’s Jarred Cosart allowed four runs, seven hits and four walks in five innings.

John Danks lasted a season-low 41/3 innings, giving up a season-high 12 hits and seven runs.

Ruffalo brings energy message to crowd in Joliet

By JAY COHEN The Associated Press JOLIET – Mark Ruffalo had a big smile on his face as he signed ticket stubs and posed for pictures at Chicagoland Speedway. A steady stream of fans approached the actor from all angles, but he made it look as if it was a small party with a bunch of old friends.

Ruffalo felt right at home at his second NASCAR race.

“This culture is really familiar to me,” he said. “These are like my people. I grew up an hour and a half away from here in Kenosha, Wisconsin. So this is my kind of family. This is what my people are like.”

Ruffalo, 46, served as the grand marshal for Saturday night’s Nationwide Series stop, but he also came out to support Leilani Munter in the ARCA race. Munter’s PrairieGold Solar No. 66 Toyota included an ad for Ruffalo’s The Solutions Project on the car.

Ruffalo and Stanford Mark Ruffalo professor Mark Jacobson helped create the organization in 2011 to advocate for the transition to 100 percent clean, renewable energy. NASCAR has stepped up its environmental efforts over the years, and Ruffalo said he found a receptive audience at the race.

It helped that Ruffalo had the perfect spokeswoman in Munter, who has a degree in biology and drives an electric Tesla Model S off the track. Munter also has solar panels on her house, and her motto is “Never underestimate a vegetarian hippie chick with a race car.”

Using a solar-based system in her pit area that is also used by the U.S. military, Munter finished 12th in the ARCA race.

“What we want to say to people and what she is a perfect example of is you know we really don’t have to give up anything,” Ruffalo said. “You don’t have to give up NASCAR because we’re moving to a carbon-free structure and infrastructure of carbon-free energy environment. You can still have those things.”

Ruffalo’s newest movie is “Begin Again,” in which he plays a divorced, middle-aged record executive struggling in the modern music industry. It also stars Keira Knightley as a British singer who captures Ruffalo’s attention, and Hailee Steinfeld as his teenage daughter.

He received an Emmy nomination this month for his compelling performance in “The Normal Heart,” an HBO film adapted from Larry Kramer’s 1985 play about the early years of the AIDS crisis.

Mokena nonprofit trains service dogs, seeks more volunteers

J

OLIET – As she watched her first service dog training session, Sr. Sharon Frederick, coordinator of the sisters at Our Lady of Angels Retirement Home in Joliet, couldn’t believe what she saw.

One particular puppy, learning skills to help a diabetic patient, had retrieved a well-hidden insulin kit.

“The insulin was in a different room and he was still able to locate it,” Frederick said.

Heartland Service Dogs in Mokena is using space at OLA to train its puppies.

These will then serve area adults and children with certain disabilities, including mobility, hearing and seizure, said Heartland director and founder Linda Fox. In addition, OLA is helping to socialize the puppies by allowing them to visit with the residents.

“Time and time again I see residents that have stuffed animals in their rooms for comfort, so you should see the looks on their faces when a dog comes in,” Frederick said. “They fall in love with them.”

Barb Bolek of Shorewood, one of the Heartland Service Dogs puppy raisers, had recently brought her 18-monthold labradoodle – Eve – to OLA. Bolek joined the Heartland volunteers a year and half ago when Bolek learned of a promotional event in Mokena, she said.

Since raising a service dog was on Bolek’s bucket list – she already has a therapy dog – Bolek abandoned her pre-holiday cooking and went to Mokena. After laying eyes on a particular “little ball of fur,” Bolek headed over to the director, Linda Fox, and said, “I want to be this puppy’s mommy.”

Sister Clare Wand (left) reaches out to pet Eve, a service dog in training, at a recent visit to Our Lady of Angels Retirement Home in Joliet. Barb Bolek of Shorewood is raising Eve for the Mokena-based service dog organization, Heartland Service Dogs.

Bolek’s job is to raise Eve – at Bolek’s expense – until Eve is about 20 months old, Fox said. Eve will then return to Fox for additional training, Bolek said. In addition to formal training sessions, Bolek ensures Eve is at home in the world.

Just this past week, Bolek said, Eve has been to the grocery store, the bank, the veterinarian, Joliet Area Community Hospice, church and a Home Depot, Bolek said. During her stay with Bolek, Eve has also taken a road trip to national parks and flow to California, twice.

“She always wears her service vest so everyone knows she is a working dog,” Bolek said. “The polite thing is not to talk or touch to a dog when it is working because it is necessary for it to pay attention to its handler.”

At home Bolek reinforc-

es obedience training with both dogs, Eve, as well as Gladys, Bolek’s 4-year Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Gladys is a “reading tutor” at St Jude Catholic School in Joliet, along with visiting clients at Joliet Area Community Hospice and Parc at Joliet, a nursing home, Bolek said.

The dogs sit on command, wait for Bolek– their pack leader – to exit a room first and ignore their food while Bolek first says a pre-mealtime prayer. When Eve moves on, Bolek will bring a Heartland Golden Retriever puppy into her home and begin the process again. Bolek already has already picked out her puppy, Penelope.

In the three years since Fox and her husband Mike began the nonprofit Heartland Service Dogs, they have placed five dogs, Fox said. Two have

gone to hearing-impaired individuals, two went to people with mobility issues and one is a diabetic service dog.

Several dogs are “up and coming,” another group of puppies, at 8 to 10 months old, are in training, Fox said.

Heartland recently welcomed a litter of nine Golden Retriever puppies, all of whom are receiving regular handling by “puppy cuddler” volunteers of all ages, before going to live with puppy raisers, Bolek said.

The Foxes breed their own dogs, which allows them to control personality, temperament and health, an important consideration, Fox said, when only about 40 percent of dogs that train as potential service dogs actually work as service dogs.

One of Heartland’s dogs has already been retired, Fox said, for health reasons.

Labradors and Labradoodles make good service dogs, Fox said, because they have natural retrieving instincts, trainable personalities and social natures.

“We capitalize on those things,” Fox said. “We don’t want the dog to be a couch potato that sleeps all day. We want them to be scanning, scanning, scanning.”

Fox and her husband began training service dogs in 1998 for another organization, but those dogs were not placed locally, she said.

She and Mike wanted to offer service dogs to people in their nearby communities who needed them.

Furthermore, it can be expensive for a person to get a service dog; the cost can range from $10,000 to $20,000, Fox said. That’s why Heartland, even after it expands and acquires its own building and paid staff, intend to operate as a nonprofit and give dogs away for free, she added.

In the meantime, Fox said, with the waiting list for a Heartland service dog currently at two years, the organization could use more sponsors and more volunteers, especially the latter.

“They are truly the best part of our organization and I am grateful to them,” Fox said. “We just need more of them.”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Each side has its game plan

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Alan Kulwicki, a NASCAR driver who died in a plane crash in 1993, said, “In every aspect of life, have a game plan, and then do your best to achieve it.”

That definitely applies at the bridge table. Each side should have a game plan. Declarer’s is to make his contract; the defenders’ is to thwart declarer’s plan.

In this deal, South is in three no-trump and West leads the spade seven. What should each side do?

South might have opened two no-trump. Despite having only 19 high-card points, all of those aces and kings increase the hand’s value. In the actual auction, South’s two-no-trump rebid showed 18 or 19 (or a poor 20) points and was in principle game-forcing. North had a minimum initial response, but his five-card suit was worth an extra point, and any time you smell a game, bid game.

South has six top tricks: three spades (given the lead), one heart and two clubs. His plan should be to play on diamonds to generate the extra winners that he needs. So he takes the first trick with his spade jack and leads the diamond king. What should happen next?

West knows that South is strong in spades, and the club holding in dummy means that that suit will not produce enough defensive tricks. Instead, West must win the first diamond trick and shift to the heart queen. Then the contract should fail.

Yes, if South knew where all 52 cards lay, he could have made the contract after a spade lead.

The curious may work it out.

ADVICE Datingsceneisfrustratingforindependentyoungwoman Dear Abby: I am a young woman hoping to find “The One.” But I have come to realize I’m not the normal female. I don’t get manicures or go shopping. (I hate shopping!)

When I meet a guy, he likes that I’m “me,” but if we get serious, then I’m either “too independent,” “too outspoken” or “not girly enough.”

I don’t want to change myself or pretend to be someone I’m not. One minute they like that I’m independent and can fend for myself; the next they don’t like that I don’t depend on them to pay bills, etc.

Why is it always a dou-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ble standard? Men like strong women until they are with one. Then they can’t handle it. Maybe I’m too much for the men where I live. Is it possible for me to find someone?

– Independent Female In

Louisiana Dear Independent Female: Welcome to the wonderful world of dating.

While some might think of dating as a popularity contest, it’s really more like sifting for a gold nugget. It takes a lot of people

years to strike gold – and it’s the same with dating.

Is it possible to find someone? Absolutely. But it takes time, stamina and a sense of humor to survive the process.

Dear Abby: I had a baby girl a month ago and I live with my in-laws. My husband isn’t here right now because of his job.

They are great and very helpful, but I never have any private time with my daughter. Every time she cries, my sistersin-law pick her up. When she wants to sleep, they always take her away from me to put her to sleep. Even when I breastfeed, they are always in

Rest, pain relief and stretching help heal rotator cuff injury Dear Dr. K: I’ve injured my rotator cuff. What can I do to relieve the pain?

Dear Reader: When people hear “rotator cuff injury,” they often think of baseball pitchers. But most people with rotator cuff injuries are like you and me. Gradual wear and tear from everyday activities, over many years, makes all older adults vulnerable to such injuries.

What exactly is a rotator cuff? Your shoulder is made up of your collarbone, upper arm bone and shoulder blade. A group of tendons – strong cords of tissue – tether muscles from your shoulder blade and ribs to your upper arm bone. They help you raise and rotate your arm. This group of tendons is your rotator cuff.

You can injure your rotator cuff through overuse of the shoulder joint, which can lead to inflammation or small tears in the rotator cuff. Inflammation also might occur in the bursa, a small cushion that reduces friction between tendons and bones.

Rotator cuff injuries cause

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff pain in your shoulder and upper arm. The pain might be most noticeable when you reach up or out – when you comb your hair or slip your arm into a sleeve, for example.

When you first have the symptoms of a rotator cuff injury, your doctor is likely to recommend you rest the shoulder. After you have done that for some time, your doctor might then recommend you start gentle shoulder stretching and strengthening exercises. But before you start an exercise program, you might need a corticosteroid injection to control pain and inflammation. Daily nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) also help decrease pain and inflammation.

Your doctor might recommend working with a physical therapist. He or she can design an individualized program to

help you increase your range of motion, strengthen your shoulder muscles, and stretch your muscles and ligaments to keep them supple.

For example, try this simple shoulder stretch. Say your left shoulder is injured.

Stand with your feet hipwidth apart. Take your left hand and put it on your right shoulder. Cup your left elbow with your right hand. Then gently pull your left elbow across your chest until you feel a mild stretch. Hold for 10 to 30 seconds. Return to the starting position. Repeat three to four times. If your right shoulder is injured, perform the stretch on the other side: right hand on left shoulder, left hand cupping your right elbow.

With a combination of corticosteroid treatment and physical therapy, your injury should heal within four to six weeks.

the room with me.

I can’t seem to tell them no or ask them to get out of the room. They are very helpful, and they are leaving in a month for another country, so I understand they want to be with her as much as they can. However, I still would like some time alone with my daughter.

Advice? – New At This In

Houston Dear New At This: As a mother, it’s up to you to assert yourself and do what is right for your baby. Find the courage to tell your in-laws you are grateful for their assistance but want privacy when you nurse the baby.

It is important that your daughter bonds with you, and if your sisters-in-law are always tending to her needs, it might be more difficult for you when they leave. I’m sure your pediatrician would back you up.

Dear Abby: Would it be OK for an 80-year-old man to take a 50-year-old woman to supper? We often talk together at church. –

Lou In Wisconsin Dear Lou: Only if she says yes.

TODAY Your curiosity will be magnified this year. Items and investments that will improve your future will be made available to you. Your instincts will enable you to make prudent choices. Financial opportunities will come your way, but refrain from making a major investment in someone else’s venture.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Let someone special know how you feel. A miscommunication could hurt someone’s feelings, but a truthful dialogue will strengthen a relationship. Work as a team with a close friend or family member.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You will be pleasantly surprised if you choose to join a serious-minded organization. Your long list of accomplishments will make you feel understandably proud, and will impress your cohorts.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Look before you leap. Although you may have several interests in common with a new acquaintance, you should take time to investigate any problems before you make a promise.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Relationships with family members will try your patience. Avoid unpleasant confrontations.

Opt to spend time with peers, accomplishing goals that will build your confidence and brighten your future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Your curiosity will be stimulated by exotic destinations. Even if a trip is not currently possible, there are many cultural activities you can participate in that would quench your thirst for knowledge.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Don’t let another’s opinion cause you to change your career direction. Do what’s best for you. Consider all of your options and follow your instincts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Turmoil is likely to disrupt your personal life. Take a step back and re-evaluate your current situation. An objective view will be the key to avoiding regret.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You will have a much better chance of reaching your goal if you keep your plans a secret.

While it’s natural to want to share your ideas, wait until you are fully prepared.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Focus on social or humanitarian events that you feel passionate about. Your persistence and dedication will enable you to persuade others to join in the cause that you’re championing.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – You may be frustrated, but don’t let problems at work interfere with your home life. Whatever the issue, do your best, act professionally and keep the two environments separate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – After working hard, you deserve some downtime to relax with friends. A movie or concert will lift your spirits; a day of pampering will help prepare you for your next challenge.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t take unnecessary risks. A joint moneymaking scheme may tempt you, but you should hold back. You will do better sticking to conservative investments that don’t involve other people

PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE OF SALE NEW LENOX SCHOOL DISTRICT NUMBER 122: VILLAGE OF NEW LENOX, ILLINOIS) Notice is hereby given that at 11:00 a.m. August 7, 2014 the Board of Education of New Lenox School District Number 122, Will County, Illinois (“Seller”) will sell at public auction at the Office of the Seller's Superintendent, 102 S. Cedar Road, New Lenox, Illinois 60451, the improved real estate legally described on attached Exhibit A-1 (the “Real Estate.”)

The Real Estate is located at 1066 Industry Road within the Village of New Lenox, Illinois. The Real Estate consists of a 4.580 acre site and three one story commercial building, measuring approximately 9934 square feet, 9244 square feet and 3933 square feet and is currently zoned I-2 “Limited Industrial” under the Village of New Lenox Zoning Ordinance.

A)

The Real Estate shall be sold in its entirety as a parcel at a public auction to be conducted at the offices of the School District's Superintendent, 102 S. Cedar Road, New Lenox, Illinois 60451. Persons who wish to bid must deposit with the auctioneer at the time of their initial bid earnest money in the amount of TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND Dollars ($25,000) in the form of a certified check payable to New Lenox School District Number 122. The auctioneer shall be Seller's Superintendent or the Superintendent's designee. The auctioneer shall start the auction at the minimum amount set forth in item B. below and proceed as the auctioneer deems appropriate. No bid below the minimum will be entertained. Identical bids simultaneously submitted shall be determined by lot, as to which bid is to be entertained.

At such time as all have bid who wish to bid after a reasonable waiting period established by the auctioneer, the auction will be recessed, during which time the highest bidder will be required to sign a Memorandum of Sale, substantially in the form of Exhibit 1, attached hereto and made a part hereof, to which a copy of these Terms and Conditions of Sale shall be attached. Bids for a sale on a cash basis only will be entertained. Seller's Superintendent or his designee shall then sign the Memorandum of Sale acknowledging receipt of the bid and the earnest money.

B) C)

D) E) F) G) H)

I) J)

Upon execution of the Memorandum of Sale by Buyer and Seller's Superintendent or his designee, the earnest money check of the successful bidder shall be retained by the School District as security for Buyer closing on the sale and the auction shall be closed. The earnest money checks of the unsuccessful bidders shall be returned immediately after the close of the auction. Buyer's bid shall be firm and irrevocable until such time as Seller either rejects or accepts the bid, which action shall occur not later than fourteen days after the close of the auction. Upon acceptance, Seller's President and Secretary shall sign the Memorandum of Sale. If the bid is not accepted within the fourteen days provided for above, the earnest money shall be promptly returned to the otherwise successful bidder. The Memorandum of Sale may be recorded with the Will County Recorder of Deeds at the expense of the party recording the Memorandum.

The minimum sale price for the Real Estate shall be THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY-FIVE THOUSAND Dollars ($375,000). The earnest money and the balance of the purchase price shall be paid in the form of a Certified Check or a Cashier's Check made payable to New Lenox School District Number 122.

(1) TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($25,000) of the purchase price shall be paid at the time of the auction as earnest money and the balance, if any, at closing. Possession will be delivered to Buyer at closing. The earnest money shall be deposited in an interest bearing account at Seller's sole discretion. Any interest earned shall be payable to the School District at closing or in the event the Buyer defaults.

(2) Seller shall deliver to Buyer at closing a Quitclaim Deed in substantial conformance with the form of deed set forth in 765 ILCS 5/10.

(3) Closing shall occur within forty-five days of the date of Seller's acceptance of Buyer's bid at a time and place mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller, or in the absence of such mutual agreement at a reasonable time and place set by Seller, subject to the conditions below (the “Closing”).

(4) Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer, not less than five (5) days before closing, a current plat of survey and a commitment for an owner's title insurance policy issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company in the amount of the purchase price, showing title in the Seller subject only to the conditions and exceptions stated in the Chicago Title and Trust Company's commitment number 1412-00331800-NLN. The title commitment shall be conclusive evidence of good title as therein shown as to all matters insured by the policy, subject only to the exceptions as therein stated.

(5) If the title commitment discloses unpermitted exceptions that render the title unmarketable, Seller shall have twenty (20) days from the date of delivery thereof to have the exceptions removed from the commitment or to have the title insurer commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such exceptions. If Seller fails to have the exceptions removed or in the alternative, to obtain the commitment for title insurance specified above as to such exceptions within the specified time, Buyer may terminate the sale or may elect, upon notice to Seller no later than the day of the expiration of the twenty day (20) period, to take title as it then is with the right to deduct from the purchase price liens or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount. If Buyer does not so elect, the sale shall become null and void without further action of the parties or remedy to Buyer except for return of the earnest money and any interest earned thereon. If Buyer defaults, then at Seller's option the earnest money, and any interest earned thereon, shall be retained by the School District as liquidated damages, and the sale as to the Buyer shall thereupon become null and void. Seller also shall furnish Buyer an affidavit of title in customary form for title insurance purposes covering the date of closing and showing title in Seller subject only to the conditions and exceptions stated in the title commitment.

Seller shall pay the amount of any stamp tax imposed by law on the transfer of the title, including but not limited to, State and County transfer taxes, and shall furnish a completed Real Estate Transfer Declaration signed by the Seller or the Seller's agent in the form required pursuant to the Real Estate Transfer Tax Act of the State of Illinois, and shall furnish any declaration signed by the Seller or the Seller's agent or meet other requirements as established by any local ordinance with regard to a transfer or transaction tax. Any such tax required by local ordinance shall be paid by the Buyer.

Time shall be of the essence as to all matters provided for in these terms and conditions.

All notices or documents required to be provided pursuant to these terms and conditions shall be given or made by personal service upon the Buyer or Seller's Superintendent, or upon sending the same by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, to Buyer at the address to be provided at the time that the earnest money is paid to Seller, and to Seller addressed to the Superintendent, New Lenox School District Number 122, 102 S. Cedar Road, New Lenox, Illinois 60451, or to such other address of which the Buyer and Seller shall give notice in the manner provided herein.

Notice mailed in conformance with this paragraph shall be deemed given upon deposit in the mail.

These terms and conditions shall be binding upon Seller and Buyer and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns.

As used in this paragraph H., the terms “Seller” and “Indemnitees” include the School District, the Board of Education and its officers, members, employees and agents in their official and individual capacities. All information about the Real Estate included in these Terms and Conditions of Sale, the Notice of Sale, or otherwise provided by Seller is believed to be reliable, but is not guaranteed and no express or implied representations or warranties are made with regard to the Real Estate or matters relating thereto. The Real Estate will be sold and conveyed to Buyer on an “AS IS” basis without any representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, either oral or written, made by Seller with respect to the physical or environmental condition of the Real Estate or with respect to the existence or absence of toxic or hazardous materials, substances or wastes in, on, under or affecting the Real Estate, and subject to existing zoning, flood plain and any other restrictions on the use or development of the Real Estate. All warranties with respect to the Real Estate are hereby expressly disclaimed. Except as provided below regarding the scope of Buyer's indemnity commitment, any risk and all responsibility relating to any condition of the Real Estate, including, but not limited to any of the above-described conditions, are assumed by Buyer and disclaimed by Seller. Prospective buyers are urged to examine the Real Estate and conduct their own inspection and investigation of the Real Estate (including, without limitation, environmental inspections and investigations), the survey and the commitment for title insurance. The Buyer shall be responsible for and bear all expenses and liability associated with making certain that the Real Estate is suitable for the Buyer's intended use, and for complying with all applicable law. Further, upon Closing, as between Buyer and Seller, Buyer shall bear all responsibility, liability and obligation for the condition of the Real Estate and the Buyer's business or operations to be located on the Real Estate; Buyer waives, generally releases and covenants not to sue or make any claim whatsoever against Seller regarding the foregoing matters and all matters within the scope of the following indemnity commitment. Buyer shall, at its sole cost and expense, unconditionally indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless, from and against any loss, liability, damage (whether direct or consequential), claims (whether or not ultimately successful), penalties, fines, injunctions, suits, proceedings, disbursements or expenses (including without limitation, attorneys' and experts' fees and disbursements and court costs) arising under any present or future local, state or federal law (and the amendments, regulations, orders or decrees promulgated thereunder) which may be incurred by or against Seller directly or indirectly resulting from the condition of the Real Estate. Buyer's obligations, indemnification and risk with respect to the condition of the Real Estate under this paragraph shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Quitclaim Deed.

No real estate commissions, or similar fees, will be paid by Seller in connection with the sale.

Seller reserves the right to waive irregularities, to continue the sale from time to time, to reject any or all bids, and to adjourn the sale.

HEARING LOSS? WE CAN HELP! Hear better & understand more EVERYWHERE

For many years now, only 20% of people with hearing loss do anything about it (sad but true)! I have known people to lose fingers and toes in industrial accidents and have to settle for about $10,000.00 for each digit. Very unfortunate for them indeed, but even more for people who don’t even invest one tenth of that for their hearing (more sad)!!!
