JOLIET – The Indiana driver accused in Monday’s fatal Interstate 55 crash has a history of traffic violations dating back to 1991, including three speeding tickets since 2012.

Outside of the charges he faces in connection with Monday’s collision in an I-55 conFrancisco struction zone Espinalnear the Des Plaines River Quiroz Bridge, Francisco Espinal-Quiroz’s most recent offense was a speeding ticket last summer, according to records obtained from the Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles.

The 51-year-old driver from Leesburg, Indiana, has been convicted of several traffic violations in multiple states, most of which were in Indiana. Those violations include

driving a commercial vehicle in 2006 without a proper license and disobeying a traffic signal in 2009 while driving a commercial vehicle.

Espinal-Quiroz has had 11 traffic violations since 2005, in addition to one in 1991. He has five commercial vehicle violations, although details on each of those were not immediately available. He was also cited in 2011 for driving an overweight truck.

Killed in Monday’s crash were Kimberly K. Britton, 43, and Piper Britton, 11, of Urbana, along with Vicky L. Palaciocs, 54, of Coal City and Ulrike P. Blopleh, 48, of Channahon.

The company Espinal-Quiroz was driving for at the time was Espinal Trucking, based in Leesburg, Indiana.

Investigators have said Espinal-Quiroz falsified entries in his logbook to make it appear he was behind the wheel for a shorter period of time than allowed by federal law.

He told officers at the scene he started work at 2:30 a.m. Mon-

day, instead of 6:30 a.m., as indicated in his logbook.

The collision occurred at 2:17 p.m. Monday. Authorities said Espinal-Quiroz was driving 15 mph over the speed limit posted at the I-55 construction site when he slammed into the vehicles.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Espinal-Quiroz remains in the Will County Jail in lieu of a $1 million bond. Following the incident, he was charged with two class 4 felonies that included falsifying a log book and failing to maintain a log book. Police also cited Espinal-Quiroz for failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident.

Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Jim Long said other charges, including reckless homicide, are a possibility as state police continue to investigate the crash.

Long said Tuesday during a bond court hearing Espinal-Quiroz has a disability handicap relating to his vision, which may have been a

factor in the crash. Long said that reckless homicide that occurs in a work zone and results in two or more fatalities carries a sentence of 6 to 28 years.

Falsifying a logbook and a failing to maintain logbook records carries a sentence of one to three years in prison, with probation being an option, said Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Still, Pelkie said state police are in the early stage of their investigation, so more charges are possible.

“We’re waiting for all kinds of information to come.

We’re waiting for medical reports to come in. We’re waiting for an accident reconstruction report to come in,” Pelkie said Tuesday outside the Will County Courthouse.

“We’re waiting on records with regard to his drop-offs and his pick-ups on the day of the collision. There’s a lot of information that still needs to come in.”

Road ordinance repealed

by Elwood Village Board

By MARY BASKERVILLE Shaw Media Correspondent ELWOOD – The Elwood Village Board voted to repeal an ordinance passed May 21 instituting road restrictions designed to reduce the number of vehicles crossing the Union Pacific Railroad track at Walter Strawn Drive.

The action taken Wednesday night passed unanimously with no comment from trustees. President William Offerman and Trustee Francis “Bud” Jones were absent.

After the village instituted

the changes in May, CenterPoint, APL and the Union Pacific Railroad argued successfully in federal court for a temporary restraining order.

Attorney Mike Connelly is representing Elwood in the federal case. In a phone interview after the meeting, Connelly said he suggested the village repeal the ordinance and seek a dismissal of the suit.

Connelly said the trial was expected to take more than a year, and could easily cost “three quarters of a million dollars.” Among the poten-

tial costs he listed were fees, the cost of expert witnesses and depositions, the cost of documents and the cost of time spent by village officials and staff preparing for and being in court.

On Aug. 1, Connelly will file a motion to dismiss. Connelly said the case is scheduled to be back in front of the judge on Aug. 6.

Additionally, Elwood is already involved in hearings with the Interstate Commerce Commission seeking ways to address the safety of the crossing, he said.

Towns look for ways to refill the landscape after beetle infestation

By VIKAAS SHANKER

How much are municipalities spending on ash tree removals in 2014?

vshanker@shawmedia.com Residents in Will County are seeing massive changes in their municipal treescapes as villages and cities compete for the best ways to remove and replace ash trees infested with the emerald ash borer beetle.

The beetle has spread to most communities in Will County. And while each municipality is different in its approach to the ash infestation problem, they will all be vying for the best trees from local and out-of-area nurseries.

n Joliet: 200,000 n Plainfield: $200,000 n Lockport: $150,000 n Shorewood: $96,000 n Channahon: $10,000

Long-term programs The area in the county with the most ash trees by far is Joliet, city Arborist Jim Teiber said.

“We were very proactive when the emerald ash borer was first discovered in Illinois,” Teiber said. “We took some of the bigger trees down at that time because of interference with the surrounding structure as well.”

Because there are so many ash trees – 10,000 to 15,000 in Teiber’s estimation – there hasn’t yet been a full inventory or a defined multi-year plan to attack the infestation problem. However, Teiber

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

Village of Plainfield public works employees T.J. Countryman (front) and Brian Fahnstrom clean up debris July 16 on Partridge Drive in Plainfield after removing an ash tree. said talks have been brewing in City Hall about the need for a long-term program. And one may come across a City Council agenda soon.

Joliet residents can expect a couple thousand of ash trees to be replaced with a variety of trees in the next five to seven years.

“We’re trying to find fund-

ing for replacement,” Teiber said. “We want to use low-interest loans to get them replaced as soon as we can.”

Lockport may be shifting funds from sidewalk improvement programs to help pay for tree removal and replacement. But it is already spending $150,000 this year for the process.

“We’re lucky we’re not like Joliet,” Public Works Director Joe Findlay said. “We only have about 2,300 ash trees.”

Ironically, Findlay credits the low number of ash trees to the slower residential growth of Lockport compared to other municipalities during the past 20 years. But Findlay said the city will continue to

slowly and safely chop away at the ash trees for the next six years.

Like Lockport and Joliet, Plainfield won’t replace all of the 5,322 ash trees that will have fallen from 2010 to the end of 2016. But the village’s public works department has quantified the amount of time, labor and money it will take to remove and replace ash trees.

“We anticipate that the board will continue to budget money and continue to replace trees,” Director of Public Works Allen Persons said.

Within the next two years all parkway ash trees owned by the village will be gone.

The replacement process with a variety of maple, elm, Kentucky coffee bean and hackberry tree species is estimated to be completed in five years.

Crest Hill approves first ash tree removal program

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Crest Hill became the latest Will County municipality to tackle the emerald ash borer beetle after the City Council this week agreed to spend up to $50,000 for ash tree removal.

More than a fourth of the city’s parkway trees are ash trees.

The city authorized Rea-

sonable Tree Experts of Crest Hill to remove the ash trees at a cost of $15.75 an inch for trees less than 15 inches in diameter, and $44.75 an inch for trees with diameters of 15 inches or more.

The cost includes the stumps being removed 10 inches below grade and topsoil and seeding of the area where the tree stood.

Mayor Ray Soliman said that a study conducted by Jo-

liet Junior College horticulture professor Fredric Miller found that out of the city’s 1,210 parkway trees, 317 are diseased ash trees.

Miller, who also researches insect and mite pests of woody landscape plants and nursery crops at the Morton Arboretum, analyzed Crest Hill’s parkway trees with students.

“We have quite a task ahead of us,” Soliman said.

This is the city’s first ac-

tion in getting rid of ash trees.

The budgeted funds will help remove 100 to 125 of the most diseased and dangerous ash trees this year. Soliman anticipates it will take three years to remove all the diseased ash trees.

The city will treat trees in parkways that are in the early stages of the emerald ash borer infestation. There are no plans to reimburse residents for removing ash trees from their

own properties.

By partnering with JJC, the city saved about $23,000, the cost of a professional study, according to City Administrator John Tomasoski.

“I personally want to give my thanks to Joliet Junior College for helping us with the study,” Soliman said. “It worked out well for us. And the students got experience with a real world application.”

Michelin Man coming to Wilmington Tire manufacturer will have 1.7 million square-foot distribution center

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – Besides the jobs and economic benefits, Wilmington Mayor J. Martin Orr sees an added perk for having a 1.7 millionsquare-foot distribution center at Interstate 55 and Lorenzo Road.

“Wilmington is on Route 66 and we’re known for being the home of the Gemini Giant, our giant spaceman,” Orr said during ground-breaking ceremonies Wednesday at RidgePort Logistics Center. “Now we’re going to be home of the Michelin Man, too.”

The French tire manufacturer plans to lease the facility, which will be located at the western terminus of the proposed Illiana Expressway and be accessible through Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway’s transcontinental mainline.

Construction of the center, which will be made up of three buildings described as covering roughly the area of 30 football fields, is expected

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

State Rep. John Anthony (from left to right), Wilmington Mayor J. Martin Orr and Jim Martell, CEO of Ridge Development, are seen during a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday for Michelin’s new distribution center in Wilmington. to be completed by mid-2015.

Orr said construction is expected to create more than 200 jobs, followed by anoth-

er 200 to 300 permanent jobs at the Michelin distribution center. Orr said he expected the permanent jobs to be in

the $15-per-hour range given the economic incentives that Wilmington provided.

Jim Martell, chief execu-

tive officer of Ridge Development Corp., said the company began developing RidgePort in 2005. The property was annexed by Wilmington in 2010, and marketing began in earnest in 2012.

The location was ideal, Martell said, as was the area’s reputation.

“Will County is on the map around the world,” Martell said, noting the success of the BNSF Logistics Park-Chicago in Elwood and the Union Pacific-Joliet Intermodal Terminal in Joliet. “Everyone points to Will County as a tremendous model.”

Michelin will be the center’s second tenant. The first, McKay TransCold, recently leased a 60,000-square-foot building on the west end of the park in May. The company provides a hub-to-hub refrigerated boxcar service between Wilmington and Selma, California.

The company leases entire trains from BNSF, shipping fruits and vegetables to the

Third Will County judge appointed to Monson case

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Conflicts of interest caused recusals of two Will County judges in the latest lawsuit brought by former VAC superintendent Elton Monson, but a third Will County judge appeared to be a good fit for the case at Wednesday’s status hearing.

The status hearing held at the Grundy County Courthouse was regarding the latest in a series of suits filed by Monson, who served as Grundy County Veterans Assistance Commission superintendent from 1999 to 2011 when the

commission, later supported by the Grundy County Board, terminated him and two other employees – Kathleen Doran and Phyllis Doran.

This lawsuit was brought against the county, the current VAC and multiple other parties for wrongful termination.

The past judges were recused per a request by the plaintiffs, Doran and Monson, who cited the judges’ previous relationships with Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol law firm, which is representing several of the defendants in the case.

The previous judges publicly disclosed that they accepted referral fees from the firm or

had previously worked for the firm before becoming a judge.

The latest Will County judge to attempt to preside over the case is Judge Joseph Polito.

“I’ve been a judge since 2006 and I’ve never had any relationship with that firm since becoming a judge,” Polito told the court Wednesday. “I see no reason why I should recuse myself.”

Monson and Doran retain the right to file for a substitution judge if they are unsatisfied with Polito.

When asked by Polito if they intended to motion for a judge substitution, the plain-

tiffs said they were unsure.

“I don’t know yet. I would like to do a little more research,” Doran said.

Polito moved forward with two of the motions already filed by the plaintiffs. He set the next hearing for Aug. 27, giving the plaintiffs time to decide whether they would like a judge substitution.

“I don’t want to get too deep into this case if there’s going to be a substitution,” Polito said.

“If anyone is going to file a motion for substitution, it would be nice if they filed it before the next hearing,” he continued.

The lawsuit requires a Will

County judge because all three Grundy County judges have been named in the suit, which was filed in December 2013 by Doran and Monson.

Doran also filed on behalf of Phyllis Doran, who has since died.

Monson and Doran are representing themselves and are asking for lost wages, benefits and reimbursements of $247,884.49. In addition, they are asking for $100 million in punitive damages.

The suit names Grundy County judges, County Board members and several local veterans organizations as defendants in the case.

6 Shorewood officials pay

respect to the Rev. Klima

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Village officials and trustees offered their support Tuesday to the family of a deceased well-known pastor.

The Rev. George Klima died suddenly at his residence Tuesday morning. He served as the founding pastor of Hope Lutheran Church at 305 E. Black Road, in prison and hospital ministries, and as chaplain for the Shorewood Police Department and Troy Township Fire Protection District.

Klima, the father of Shorewood Police Chief Aaron Klima, was a member of the Will-Grundy Medical Center Board of Directors and the Joliet Breakfast Lions Club.

“He was a longtime, very close friend and colleague,” Mayor Rick Chapman said of the elder Klima. “We worked on a lot of things together for the village’s concern like police, fire and military situations.”

Chapman said Klima was a valued individual in Shorewood, often leading the invocation at Village Board meetings and working with village officials on Memorial Day ceremonies.

Klima last month won the “Heart of the Community” Award at the Business After-Hours Event at the Heart-

land Bank.

According to his obituary, Klima is survived by his wife, Nadine, six children and 17 grandchildren.

“He recently retired and had his whole family here a few months ago, and he got the award,” Chapman said. “I would say if this had to be his last year, it wasn’t a bad way to end.”

Village payments approved After sharing thoughts and memories of Klima, the board voted on several payments.

Payments of $53,515.07 and $32,391.35 to Austin Tyler Construction Inc. were approved for work completed on the 2014 Motor Fuel Tax Road Project and Edgewater Subdivision public improvements respectively.

The board approved the purchase of $148,300 in new water meters from HD Supply Waterworks. It also approved a payment of $20,633 to Underground Pipe & Valve Co. for the Laura Street water main extension work.

But the largest item was the acceptance of a bid from J Congdon Sewer Service Inc. for the 2014 water main improvements project for $1.09 million.

The water main project attracted nine bids with J Congdon being the lowest recommended bidder.

Bolingbrook police looking for Radio Shack robbers SHAW MEDIA BOLINGBROOK – Bolingbrook police are looking for two armed robbers who tied up a Radio Shack employee before getting away with electronics Wednesday afternoon.

At about 12:34 p.m., two men entered Radio Shack, 1196 W. Boughton Road, displayed a silver handgun and escorted the employee to the back of the store before tying his hands and feet and making him sit in a chair, according to police.

The suspects then proceeded to take laptops, smartphones and the store video surveil-

lance and then exited the store through the rear door, police said.

The suspects are described as black males in their 20s.

One is described as a 5-foot5, 120-pound man with a light complexion, mustache and wearing a khaki floppy hat, a T-shirt and blue jeans. The other is described as having dark skin, dreadlocks, a mustache with a goatee and wearing a blue baseball cap with jeans.

The pair possibly fled the area in a silver, four-door sedan with tinted windows, police said.

Ludemann confirmed that a final decision was reached after two commissioners left the board meeting.

“They walked out of the process by their own choice,” Ludemann said. “That left a quorum of three of us and we decided to continue the meeting.”

Vice President Janet Silosky and Commissioner Larry Newton declined to comment on the events that happened at the board meeting. But Newton said that he thought each of the final four candidates were qualified for the job.

Efforts to reach Capalbo late Wednesday afternoon were not successful.

According to Capalbo’s LinkedIn profile, he has worked at the Worth Park District since August 2007.

He was previously an athletic supervisor at the Streamwood Park District for eight years and business manager for the Berwyn Park District for two years.

Ludemann said contract negotiations with the selected candidate will be discussed during Thursday’s closed session board meeting. Depending on how the negotiations work out, the new executive director could be approved at the Aug. 13 board meeting or earlier in a special session.

PLAINFIELD – Two Plainfield Township Park District commissioners confirmed that a candidate has been selected to become the next executive director – but that person is not the one originally agreed upon during a closed-session board meeting Tuesday night.

Pending contract negotiations, Worth Park District Director Carlo Capalbo has been selected to become the next executive director, Commissioners Peter Hurtado and Peter Steinys said.

The board finished final interviews with four candidates for the executive director position at the meeting and discussed who should be selected.

“In regards to the matter, we had a blind vote and one candidate received three votes,” Steinys said. “Carlo Capalbo was not that candidate.”

Hurtado said after that vote, board attorney Matt Campbell tried to persuade board members away from the leading candidate.

“Our attorney made his personal opinions to the board,” Hurtado said. “That’s not his job. He should make sure that we follow the law in our meetings, not express his

own opinions.”

Steinys said that after he and Hurtado protested Campbell’s comments, both commissioners left the meeting.

Then Wednesday morning they received an email from the park district stating that Capalbo was the chosen candidate.

Campbell said in an email that he has no comment on Tuesday’s Mary Kay board meeting Ludemann or the executive director search process.

Board President Mary Kay Ludemann said that she could not confirm nor deny CaPeter palbo’s selecHurtado tion because a contract agreement has not yet been reached with the chosen candidate.

But she did confirm that another candidate was initially favored.

Town down a well, unaffected

By KRIS STADALSKY Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – Although Minooka is down one water well right now, officials believe it will not affect the community.

Superintendent of Public Works Rob Tonarelli told the Minooka Village Board on Tuesday night the motor in the village well on Ridge Road has ceased working and will cost $15,000 just for the service call.

If the motor is bad, a replacement will cost $130,000 or more depending on if the village goes with a rebuild or new motor.

The well’s motor is nearly eight years old, Tonarelli said, and has taken a few lightning hits. A new motor comes with just a one-year warranty.

While the well is out of service, there’s no need for concern over water availability.

“We have two deep wells and two shallow wells,” Tonarelli said. “Plus a connection with Channahon if we ever need it.”

positioning or navigation systems integrated into the vehicle.

The ordinance does not apply to reporting an emergency situation or continued communication with emergency personnel, according to the ordinance.

A driver using a hands-free or voice-operated device, including a headset, or a device activated by pressing a single button, is allowable as are twoway or citizens band radios, according to village records.

Minooka police issue about six distracted driving citations a week, Police Chief Justin Meyer said Wednesday.

“The Minooka police traffic safety initiative is to reduce the amount of traffic crashes of years past. One of the strategies is distracted driving enforcement,” Meyer said. “While conducting a traffic crash analysis, distracted driving within the vehicle was the most contributing cause of the traffic crashes.”

Distracted drivers will be fined

Hotel gets sign variance

If you are caught using any type of electronic device that isn’t hands-free while driving within Minooka village limits, it’s going to cost you.

A new ordinance, approved Tuesday, defines distracted driving and sets a dollar limit for administration costs at $60 per offense.

Distracted driving is considered the use of any hand-held electronic communication device while driving, including phones, personal digital assistants and mobile computers.

It does not include global

Holiday Inn & Suites, planned for Ridge and Bob Blair roads, will be able to erect a 65-foot sign to attract customers traveling on Interstate 80.

Trustees approved the sign variance, which was requested through the Planning and Zoning Committee and taken under consideration by the full board, Village Administrator Dan Duffy said.

“This will be a big marketing piece of that whole [project],” Duffy said. “[The sign] will be seen for several miles on I-80.”

Lincoln-Way D-210 sees growth in advanced placement test takers

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – More students at Lincoln-Way High School District 210 are taking advanced placement exams than in the past, thanks to teacher encouragement.

In the past several years, school officials have been following a trend nationwide to get more students to take advanced placement classes, District Assistant Superintendent Tim Reilly said. The result has been more students taking AP exams in English, science, history and chemistry, he said.

“Traditionally, kids would almost have to petition or qualify to get in classes and we feel like students such as juniors or seniors can benefit from being taught in the most rigorous classes we can give,” he said.

This year, more than 1,200 students districtwide took 2,200 AP exams, Aimee

Feehery, district director of instruction, said at a July 17 board meeting. Many of the students took three, four or even five exams each, she said.

Lincoln-Way offers 26 AP exams across seven academic departments, Reilly said.

The English department this year had 350 students take English literature or language AP exams, which is about 100 more than usual, he said. The number of students taking U.S. history and government AP exams totaled roughly 741 this year, which is about 200 more than the amount of students taking those exams a few years ago, he said.

“I think what we’ve seen across the board is that we have teachers that have seen the relevance of [AP classes] and kids who aren’t afraid of the challenge,” Reilly said.

Students who take AP exams are not only challenging themselves but earning college credit. He said many

students who’ve never taken an honor class or seen themselves as college bound are passing AP exams, which boosts their academic confidence.

Those students are encouraged to take the classes and exams because of their teachers, he said.

“It’s teacher driven,” he said. “That teacher has gone out and recruited kids.”

Feehery said school officials plan to host an AP symposium in early August and invite instructors across the district to brainstorm the effective strategies for teaching AP courses.

“This is definitely a unique situation and one of the exceptional qualities at Lincoln-Way where the willingness of the teachers to come together and seek ways to learn from each other to further improve our courses and the teaching of our courses for the benefit of our students,” she said.

LEMONT – The Lemont Public Library is considering placing a referendum question on the November ballot asking for $2.8 million in building bonds to pay for a renovation project.

The library board held a public meeting Tuesday to discuss the financing details and make their case for why the project in needed. A second, identical meeting will be held at 7 p.m. Aug. 6.

The board presented a 15year amortization schedule at a projected interest rate of 3.6 percent.

The estimated annual debt service will be approximately $270,000, starting in 2015.

The final payment of existing bonds will be in December 2015.

Because of low interest rates, taxes for debt service will decrease by approximately 30 percent as opposed to taxes required to pay off the current bonds.

Library board president Vytenis Kirvelaitis said a

building almost 20 years old, $500,000 of physical and mechanical updates will be needed during the next few years.

“We’ve kind of reached our limit with what we can do with the facility as it is,” she said.

The renovation project would also include a major redesign of the library space, which the board presented in a preliminary outline during an April 1 meeting.

It would involve building a new meeting room and training room to the east of the front entrance.

The library would reorganize existing space to create an enclosed, quiet reading room, two more study rooms and a young adult section more separate from the children’s section. The checkout desk would be moved to the front of the building, west of the entrance where the meeting room currently is.

Kirvelaitis said if a referendum passes, the library could issue bonds as early as February, start the project in the spring or summer and complete it in about a year.

Murder charge dropped against gym owner Bennett will testify against co-defendant

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The owner of a Joliet gym charged with murder for allegedly setting up his business partner for a robbery entered a guilty plea this week and is expected to testify against his co-defendant at an upcoming trial.

In return for Jermain K. Bennett’s plea, prosecutors agreed to drop the murder charge, Special Prosecutor Jermain K. Dave Neal said Bennett Wednesday.

Bennett’s armed robbery charge – a Class X felo-

ny – still stands.

As part of the disposition, Bennett will testify against co-defendant Kenneth G. Edwards, 46, at Edwards’ Sept. 10 trial, Neal said.

On Aug. 9, 2012, Sean D. McGinn, 39, parked his pickup truck behind the KO Zone Boxing Club, 218 E. Cass St., which he co-owned with Bennett. Po-

lice said McGinn had brought thousands of dollars to buy cocaine from Bennett, who instead planned to rob him.

Edwards allegedly was waiting in the parking lot and shot McGinn twice while Bennett took the cash. Police said the cocaine Bennett had promised to deliver did not exist. Nearby residents overheard the shots and called police. Bennett was arrested the day after McGinn’s slaying, while Edwards was arrested last October.

Neal was assigned to the cases from the attorney general’s office in February after the court became aware of a potential conflict between a witness and the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Neal said Bennett’s plea on Tuesday was an “open plea,” meaning he has waived his right to a trial but the number of years he will serve has yet to be decided. A sentencing hearing is scheduled for sometime in October, he said.

New trial date set for Hickory Street defendant

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A new trial date for one of the defendants in the Hickory Street murders is set for Aug. 4.

Will County Judge Gerald Kinney granted Bethany L. McKee, 20, a new trial date Wednesday. McKee was scheduled for a bench trial before Kinney earlier this month, but her lawyer, Chuck

Bethany L. McKee

Bretz, asked for a delay after 10 hours of video recordings were obtained under subpoena.

A discovery status hearing is scheduled for

July 29.

McKee, Joshua Miner and Adam Landerman are all accused in the murders of Eric

Glover and Terrence Rankins, both 22, on Jan. 10, 2013. The two victims were strangled at Alisa Massaro’s house in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street.

While Landerman, McKee and Miner face murder charges, Massaro, 20, pleaded guilty in May to robbery and concealing a homicide. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison in exchange for testifying against the others.

The three remaining defendants are being tried separately. Bretz has asked for a bench trial before Kinney who is scheduled to retire in November.

Landerman and Miner are scheduled to return to court Aug. 14. Landerman’s attorneys also want time to review the video recordings. Miner’s lawyer Michael Renzi said they are awaiting records that have been subpoenaed from

the Department of Corrections to be used for a psychologist’s report on Miner’s sanity.

Bretz told Kinney last week there will be discussion on whether knowledge of “other crimes” and a recording of a 911 call will be admitted into evidence. Bretz and Assistant Will County State’s Attorney John Connor agreed last week with Kinney’s plan to decide during the bench trial.

Drug-free memory discovery yields ‘shocking’ results in clinical trial; restores brainpower equal to those up to 15 years younger, all within 30 days!

TAMPA, Florida — For readers who fret about their less-than-perfect memory, or worry about steadily worsening mental powers, your life is about to change.

Thanks to President Obama’s massive $100 million B.R.A.I.N. initiative, millions of frustrated Americans who not only lose their car keys, but also forget where they have parked may soon have real, lasting relief.

What’s the Catch?

What President Obama and administration officials failed to tellAmericans is that, for many, they don’t have to spend $100 million or wait ten-plus years for a fix for their foggy, forgetful mind.

In fact, evidence of a genuine, clinically tested, real, memory pill is here, now Real Memory Pill Exists!

A US-based research firm, Brain Research Labs, has developed and conducted successful human testing on a

‘Pharmacist of theYear,’ Dr. Gene Steiner, recommends a patented, natural memory compound In many cases, the formula allowed users to match the memory recall speed and brainpower of those up to 15 years younger, all within a 30-day time period.

It’s no secret either. The US Patent and Trademark Office has granted the drug-free natural formula a United States patent.

Over the years, the sophisticated three-part formulation has gained the trust of medical doctors, a top clinical pharmacist, and is even a recommended component in an updated, in-home version of a legendary Medicare-reimbursed brain health protocol.

Preventive Gerontologist, Dr. Arnold Bresky, the man responsible for the Medicarereimbursed brain tune-up protocol recommends this prescription-free memory compound as an integral part of his new Four Pillars of Brain Health program.

With more than 45 years behind a pharmacist’s counter, and 25 years in a radio show booth, if Dr. Gene Steiner had a nickel for every time someone asked, “Do you have anything that can improve my memory,” he would be a rich man today.

A Crystal-Clear Memory It’s a question he’s heard many times. “This natural memory pill is to an aging, sluggish brain, what a breath of fresh air is to your lungs,” he says.

Before prescribing the pill to patients, Dr. Steiner decided to first try it himself.

“Within a few weeks, I can tell you without reservation that my memory became crystal clear,” he says.

“I had such marvelous results that I not only started recommending it to my customers, I even shared it with other physicians!”

A Pharmacy Best-Seller “It became the best-selling brain health product in my pharmacy and customers were returning to thank me for introducing them to it.”

“It felt great to see so many people whose lives were enriched by taking a simple, natural formula.”

“With this simple, drugfree formula, we finally have something that we can recommend that is safe and effective.

And you don’t need a prescription either!”

Recently, Dr. Steiner relocated to another state and was apprehensive about taking the state board of pharmacy jurisprudence examination, a daunting examination that tests a candidate’s mastery of pharmacy law.

“I began taking the natural memory compound prior to the test, and I passed with flying colors!” “The recall I personally experienced was fantastic,” says Steiner.

“It’s a unique process,” he adds, “that pumps the brain full of revitalizing oxygen, helping improve blood circulation to the brain, while helping to boost key neurotransmitters in the brain responsible for cognitive functioning.”

Alternative medicine pioneer, and retired medical school professor, Dr. Robert Heller, personally uses and recommends the formula.

Perks Up Tired, Sluggish Brains “It’s not a drug,” smiles Dr. Heller, “it’s a nutritional supplement that can help a foggy, sluggish brain become sharper, quicker, and healthier.”

Head and neck surgeon and psychologist, Paul Nemiroff, PhD, MD, FACS, agrees, adding, “It is truly an amazing breakthrough for memory!”

Kasey L.* from Olathe, Kansas says, “I was having trouble finding words in my brain and remembering things.

Now I am as sharp as a tack and I have a memory like an elephant. I will never stop taking it.”

Grace K.* of Alabama was in the same boat.

Many are asking the question, does the government's $100 million scientific discovery initiative ignore the existence of a patented memory restorer?

On April 11, 2013, President Barack Obama announced a ten-year, $100 million brain research project. answers come from!”

Anyone who has ever stood in front of a crowd and then, forgot what they were about to say, knows the horror of “drawing a blank.” Professional speaker Sylvia. P.* from California found Brain Research Labs’memory discovery just in time.

“I started having a hard time staying focused and remembering important information.”

“As a professional speaker in front of hundreds of people, I found these senior moments very embarrassing. Plus, it was threatening my career. Since taking this, I can now conduct a whole seminar without relying on my notes. I feel like my old self again!”

You don’t have to spend million of dollars or wait ten years to do what Brain Research Labs has already done for you. If you are ready to do something about your mind and memory, here’s your risk-free chance.

“I was having concentration problems and diff iculty remembering things. Now, I feel more confident in myself! I enjoy reading again. I’ve regained confidence in myself!”

nization that helps build affordable housing. The school district has partnered with the organization for 16 years to allow students part of the school’s building and trade program to volunteer, Wernet said.

“We’re very pleased with that program and it’s a terrific opportunity with our students,” he said.

Demand for ash tree replacements will be high, area nurseries assert • ASH TREES Continued from page 3 Tree-tment Shorewood will replace fallen ash trees with a variety of 13 trees. It had 2,400 ash trees and just started its removal and replacement program. But unlike other municipalities, it is choosing to treat some bigger ash trees instead of contracting to take them down.

The village is using an ash borer treatment called Treeage, an emamectin benzoate pesticide that is injected into the base of the tree and kills off larvae that feed on the tree’s vascular system.

“The hope is that the Treeage should work on the larger trees bigger than six inches in diameter,” Public Works supervisor Chris Drey said.

“We’ve injected some in the past, and some we still had to cut down while some have worked.”

While Tree-age may save a tree from the ash borer beetle, it’s also a temporary solution.

Channahon Public Works administrative assistant Diane Cook said Tree-age is usually good for two years, then the tree needs to be treated again. But the idea is to inject bigger trees and those under ownership of residents until the infestation dies out.

Private ash trees Channahon conducted a study two years ago identifying more than 2,000 parkway ash trees and is replacing them at a consistent rate of about 100 each year.

But for residents wanting to get rid of ash trees on their own properties, Chan-

nahon offers a 50-50 program in which the village will pay the ash tree removal cost and contribute half the funds required to install a new tree in its place.

“Removal is the village’s responsibility, but it’s the resident’s choice if they want to remove or treat the tree,” Cook said.

Plainfield, Joliet and Shorewood officials said there are currently no private tree replacement reimbursement programs. Lockport is discussing the idea, but New Lenox offers the same 50-50 program for privately-owned ash trees as Channahon. However, it has a year-long waiting list.

“At this point, we’ve been telling people calling since June to wait for the next year due to time and budgetary reasons,” New Lenox Public Works Director Brian Williams said.

“Removal is the village’s responsibility, but it’s the resident’s choice if they want to remove or treat the tree.”

Future demand New Lenox, which had 2,785 ash trees as of 2012, is replacing trees by going through the Suburban Tree Consortium.

Along with Plainfield, New Lenox joins several municipalities in DuPage and Cook counties to get better pricing on new trees with local nurseries.

However, with dozens of Chicago and Joliet area communities buying up ash tree replacements in the next several years, demand and competition will be high.

“We are increasing line of production over the next couple of years,” said Dave Aniballi, yard manager of Hinsdale Nurseries, which supplies trees to the consortium.

Aniballi said that nurseries still have trees leftover from

lowing the Great Recession.

But now the economy has turned around and the nurseries will be lining out trees more aggressively.

“It’s been a good growing season this year,” Aniballi said. “Ready for buying up.”

Illinois patients to docs: ‘What about marijuana?’

CHICAGO – Illinois doctors, nursing homes, hospitals and hospice organizations are ramping up for their role as gatekeepers in the state’s new medical marijuana program.

Medical professionals find themselves at the center of a quickly changing legal landscape with minimal scientific research to back the claims of those extolling marijuana’s therapeutic benefits.

“It’s already an issue,” said Dr. Martha Twaddle of Barrington-based JourneyCare, which specializes in end-of-life care. “People are asking, ‘What about marijuana?’ ” Illinois is among 23 states that have made medical marijuana legal. Illinois’ new law is on the restrictive side, with a limited list of qualifying health conditions.

But one – spinal cord disease – could be broadly interpreted to cover any patient complaining of back pain.

“I imagine that’s the one that will be most prone to abuse,” said Dr. William McDade, president of the Illinois State Medical Society, one of the groups that will help doctors navigate the new terrain.

State regulators have signaled they won’t allow doctors to set up shop to churn out recommendations. In December, regulators filed a complaint against a doctor who opened a clinic called Good Intentions offering “pre-approval” for medical cannabis. The doctor faces revocation of his license because the Illinois law requires a “bona fide physician-patient relationship.”

The enforcement approach leaves doctors chatting face to face with their regular patients about a once-forbidden drug.

In September, patients will start

Emails raise questions of politics in 2010 program

CHICAGO – Emails turned over to a legislative panel have raised questions about the role of politics in Gov. Pat Quinn’s defunct anti-violence program that’s under federal investigation, according to a published report Wednesday.

Exchanges between former Quinn aides appear to show a Maywood mayoral race factored into determining which service providers got money through the 2010 Neighborhood Recovery Initiative, the Chicago Sun-Times

reported.

Quinn started the approximately $55 million program to help curb neighborhood violence.

Earlier this year, state auditors detailed problems with mismanagement and misspending, and top Republicans claimed it was a political slush fund to help Quinn ahead of a close November 2010 election. Quinn has dismissed that claim, saying he spearheaded the program during a violent time when several Chicago police officers died. He’s also said he addressed problems with the initiative, including abolishing the agency that ran it.

The program currently is the subject of investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice and the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office. The Legislative Audit

Commission that must sign off on the audit has said the report didn’t answer questions and also has been investigating on its own, though it suspended its probe at the request of federal officials.

China detains employees of suspect meat seller

BEIJING – Five employees of an Illinois company accused of selling expired beef and chicken to McDonald’s, KFC and other restaurants in China were detained by police Wednesday after an official said illegal activity was an organized effort by the supplier.

China’s food safety agency said on its website that its investigators found unspecified illegal activity by Husi Food Co. but gave no confirmation expired meat had been found or other details.

Some of the illegal conduct was an “arrangement organized by the company,” the deputy director of the agency’s Shanghai bureau, Gu Zhenghua, told the official Xinhua News Agency.

Those in criminal detention include Husi’s quality manager, the Shanghai police department said on its microblog account.

The scandal surrounding Husi, which is owned by OSI Group of Aurora has alarmed Chinese diners and disrupted operations for fast food chains.

Police identified the victim as 64-year-old Jovanka Mijatov of Schererville, Indiana. The tire came off an SUV in the southbound lanes, then bounced into the northbound lanes and struck the car.

The car’s driver was taken to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

U.S. economy might now be sturdier

Social Security spent about $300M on ‘IT boondoggle’ The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – Six years ago the Social Security Administration embarked on an aggressive plan to replace outdated computer systems overwhelmed by a growing flood of disability claims. Nearly $300 million later, the new system is nowhere near ready and agency officials are struggling to salvage a project racked by delays and mismanagement, according to an internal report commissioned by the agency.

In 2008, Social Security said the project was about two to three years from completion. Five years later, it was still two to three years from being done, according to the report by McKinsey and Co., a management consulting firm.

Today, with the project still in the testing phase, the agency can’t say when it will be completed or how much it will cost.

In the meantime, people filing for disability claims face long delays at nearly every step of the process – delays that were supposed to be reduced by the new processing system.

“The program has invested $288 million over six years, delivered limited functionality, and faced schedule delays as well as increasing stakeholder concerns,” the report said.

As a result, agency leaders have decided to “reset” the program in an effort to save it, the report said. As part of that effort, Social Security brought in the outside consultants from McKinsey to figure out what went wrong.

They found a massive technology initiative with no one in charge – no single person responsible for completing the project. They issued their report in June, though it was not publicly released.

As part of McKinsey’s recommendations, acting Social Security Commissioner Carolyn Colvin appointed Terrie

Nearly $300 million later, the new system is nowhere near ready and agency officials are struggling to salvage a project racked by delays and mismanagement.

Gruber to oversee the project last month. Gruber had been an assistant deputy commissioner.

“We asked for this, this independent look, and we weren’t afraid to hear what the results are,” Gruber said in an interview Wednesday.

“We are absolutely committed to deliver this initiative and by implementing the recommendations we obtained independently, we think we have a very good prospect on doing just that.”

The revelations come at an awkward time for Colvin.

President Barack Obama nominated Colvin to a full six-year term in June, and she now faces confirmation by the Senate. Colvin was deputy commissioner for 3½ years before becoming acting commissioner in February 2013.

The House Oversight Committee is also looking into the program, and whether Social Security officials tried to bury the McKinsey report. In a letter to Colvin on Wednesday, committee leaders requested all documents and communi-

cations about the computer project since March 1.

The letter was signed by Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., chairman of the Oversight committee, and Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, and James Lankford, R-Okla. They called the project “an IT boondoggle.”

The troubled computer project is known at the Disability Case Processing System, or DCPS. It was supposed to replace 54 separate, antiquated computer systems used by state Social Security offices to process disability claims. As envisioned, workers across the country would be able to use the system to process claims and track them as benefits are awarded or denied, and claims are appealed.

But as of April, the system couldn’t even process all new claims, let alone accurately track them as they wound their way through the system, the report said. In all, more than 380 problems were still outstanding, and users hadn’t even started testing the ability of the system to handle applications from children.

Seniors sharing homes to save money The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – It’s not exactly “The Golden Girls,” but for Marcia Rosenfeld, it’ll do.

Rosenfeld is among thousands of aging Americans taking part in home-sharing programs around the country that allow seniors to stay in their homes and save money while getting some much-needed companionship.

“It’s a wonderful arrangement,” said the white-haired Rosenfeld, who when asked her age will only say she’s a senior citizen. “The way the rents are these days, I couldn’t stay here without it.”

She shares her two-bedroom, $1,000-a-month Brooklyn apartment with Carolyn Allen, a 69-year-old widow who has suffered two strokes and no longer wants to live alone.

Agencies that put such seniors together say the need appears to be growing as baby boomers age and struggle to deal with foreclosures, property taxes and rising rents. The typical situation involves an elderly woman, widowed or divorced, who has a house or an apartment with extra room and needs help with the upkeep.

“Our seniors want to remain part of the community they were raised in, where they worked and went to church,”

Carolyn Allen (left) recounts July 17 how she fell in the bathtub and was helped by roommate Marcia Rosenfeld (right) who owns the Brooklyn, N.Y., apartment where Allen lives. The two women are roommates thanks to a home-sharing program run by a New York-based nonprofit agency. said Jackie Grossman, director of the home-sharing program at Open Communities in the Chicago suburbs. “They don’t want to be just with other seniors.

Maybe they love their garden, their tool shed, and they would have to give that up if they

move into senior housing.”

At the New York Foundation for Senior Citizens, where applicants have tripled since 2008, the average boarder pays about $700 a month. The same average holds at the HIP Housing program in San Mateo, Cal-

ifornia, but it is about $500 at the St. Ambrose Housing Aid Center in Baltimore.

Agencies handle the background checks and other screening and consider various lifestyle criteria – smoking, pets, disposable income

– in making matches. When a match is made, the new roommates sign an agreement covering chores, overnight visitors, telephone use, etc.

Not all agencies limit applicants to seniors. In the New York program, only one of the two people has to be 60 or older.

The agencies’ services mean people who want a roommate don’t have to post notices in neighborhood weeklies or online and worry about who will respond.

“Craigslist can be very scary, especially for women,” said Connie Skillingstad, president of Golden Girl Homes Inc. in Robbinsdale, Minnesota, which refers women to housing resources including home-sharing. “They’d rather go through a respectable organization.”

In the past, program directors say, many of the people offering space were willing to take household help – grocery shopping, housecleaning, repair work – in lieu or some or all of the rent.

Recently, though, more people have insisted on dollars rather than services.

“In the last five years, we’ve really seen more people looking for financial aid rather than barter,” said Kirby Dunn, executive director of Homeshare Vermont in Burlington.

Get paid for posts? Social networking’s new twist The ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO – Facebook and most other social networks are built on the premise that just about everything should be shared – except the money those posts produce.

At least two services are trying to change that. Bubblews, a social network that came out of out of an extended test phase last week, pays users for posts that attract traffic and advertisers. Another company, Bonzo Me, has been doing something similar since early July.

“I just feel like everyone on social networks has been taken advantage of for long enough,” says Michael Nus-

baum, a New Jersey surgeon who created Bonzo Me. “Facebook has been making a ton of money, and the people providing the content aren’t getting anything.”

Bonzo Me is paying its users up to 80 percent of its ad revenue for the most popular posts.

Bubblews’ compensation formula is more complex. It’s based on the number of times that each post is clicked on or provokes some other kind of networking activity. To start, the payments are expected to translate into just a penny per view, comment or like. Bubblews plans to pay its users in $50 increments, meaning it could take a while for most

users to qualify for their first paycheck unless they post material that goes viral.

“No one should come to our site in anticipation of being able to quit their day job,” Bubblews CEO Arvind Dixit says. “But we are trying to be fair with our users. Social networks don’t have to be places where you feel like you’re being exploited.”

Bubblews also is trying to make its service worthwhile for users by encouraging deeper, thoughtful posts instead of musings about trifling subjects. To do that, it requires each post to span at least 400 characters, or roughly the opening two paragraphs of this story.

Technology analyst Rob Enderle believes Bubblews, or something like it, eventually will catch on.

“I don’t think this free-content model is sustainable,” Enderle says. “You can’t sustain the quality of the product if you aren’t paying people for the content that they are creating. And you can’t pay your bills if all you are getting are ‘likes.’”

Gerry Kelly of San Francisco has already earned nearly $100 from Bubblews since he began using a test version in January.

His Bubblews feed serves as a journal about the lessons he has learned in life, as well as a forum for his clothing brand,

Sonas Denim.

Although Facebook is by far the largest social network, it has a history of irking users.

People have complained when Facebook changed privacy settings in ways that exposed posts to a wider audience.

They have criticized Facebook for circulating ads containing endorsements from users who didn’t authorize the marketing messages.

More recently, people were upset over a 2012 experiment in which Facebook manipulated the accounts of about 700,000 users to analyze how their moods were affected by the emotional tenor of the posts flowing through their pages. Facebook apologized.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS E I N D H O V E N , N e t h e rlands – Victims of the Malaysian jetliner shot down over Ukraine returned at last Wednesday to Dutch soil in 40 wooden coffins, solemnly and gently carried to 40 identical hearses, flags at half-staff flapping in the wind.

The carefully choreographed, nearly silent ceremony contrasted sharply with the boom of shells and shattered glass in eastern Ukraine as pro-Russian rebels fought to hang onto territory and shot down two Ukrainian fighter jets.

The bold new attack showed the separatists are not shying away from shoot-

ing at the skies despite international outrage and grief at the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.

Even though they are still unidentified, the corpses that arrived on two military transport planes in Eindhoven were embraced by a nation unmoored by the loss of so many people caught in someone else’s faraway war.

Boys going to visit their grandparents, a flight attendant hurrying to get home, a bouncer heading to see his sweetheart were among the 298 victims of the jetliner that was blown out of the sky on July 17, intensifying anger at the separatists suspected of bringing it down with a surface-to-air missile.

Nearly a week later, international investigators still don’t have unfettered access to the crash site, some remains have yet to be recovered, and armed men roam the region, defying their government.

Investigators in a lab in southern England began studying the plane’s “black boxes” Wednesday in hopes of learning about the Boeing 777’s final minutes.

The Dutch Safety Board, which has taken control of the investigation, said the cockpit voice recorder suffered damage but showed no sign of manipulation, and its recordings were intact.

Specialists will start studying the flight data recorder

Thursday.

Families of passengers moved to a new stage of grief as the bodies began arriving in the Netherlands, the country that bore the heaviest death toll.

The families had spent days agonizing in wait while their loved ones’ remains lay in sweltering fields in eastern Ukraine before being gradually shifted by truck, train and plane.

“If I have to wait five months for identification, I can do it,” said Silene Fredriksz-Hoogzand, whose son, Bryce, and his girlfriend Daisy Oehlers died in the crash. “Waiting while the bodies were in the field and in the train was a nightmare.”

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – The United States announced signs of progress in cease-fire talks Wednesday, but prospects for a quick end to the fighting were dim as Palestinian families fled fierce battles in southern Gaza and the death toll rose to more than 700 Palestinians and 34 Israelis.

Underscoring the challenges facing international negotiators shuttling around the Middle East in a high-profile bid to end the bloodshed, the leader of Hamas insisted the Islamic militants would not relent until their main demand of lifting an Egyptian-Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip is met.

On the ground, meanwhile, Israeli troops backed by tanks and aerial drones clashed with Hamas fighters armed with rocket-propelled grenades and assault rifles on the outskirts of Khan Younis, killing at least eight militants, according to a Palestinian health official.

Hundreds of people fled their homes as the battle unfolded, flooding into the streets with what few belongings they could carry, many with children in tow. They said they were seeking shelter in nearby U.N. schools.

“The airplanes and airstrikes are all around us,” said Aziza Msabah, a resident of the city in the southern Gaza Strip. “They are hitting the houses, which are collapsing upon us.”

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who met for the second time this week with United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon, flew to Israel on an Air Force jet, despite a ban imposed a day earlier by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration on commercial flights into Ben-Gurion Airport because of Hamas rocket fire nearby.

The FAA extended the ban Wednesday and many major European carriers also canceled more flights due to security concerns.

ANOTHER VIEW

Net losses? Be wary of gov’t on neutrality issue Large corporations can’t always be trusted to do the right thing. But neither can governments.

So when either considers tinkering with the Internet – our most pervasive information source and an increasingly indispensable part of our lives – we are naturally cautious.

You should be, too.

The Federal Communications Commission this year will make decisions with wide-ranging implications on how companies deliver web content to consumers.

The proposed “net neutrality” rules currently out for public comment will define what constitutes a “free market” on the Internet – and possibly open the door to increased governmental regulation.

The FCC’s previous regulations were struck down by a federal court earlier this year.

Those rules prevented Internet service providers, such as Comcast, Verizon and AT&T, from offering web-content producers, such as Netflix and Amazon, faster data-delivery speeds for a higher fee.

The practice finally would free the ISPs to create a tiered delivery system, with so-called “fast lane” service to those willing to pay premium prices to reach millions of households and businesses. It also would likely prompt ISPs to expand network capacities and invest in new technologies to better meet consumers’ insatiable appetite for data.

However, the tiered-system concept, which the FCC calls “paid prioritization,” goes against some people’s notion of a “free Internet,” where everyone is entitled to the same access and all data is equal.

Hence, the “Net neutrality” debate. The courts say the FCC can’t prohibit tiers as long as the Internet remains classified

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

as an “information service.” So the danger is that the Democrat-controlled FCC, under the banner of net neutrality, will move to reclassify ISPs as “common carrier” telecommunications services, subjecting them to monopoly-style public utility rules, regulations and taxes.

That should make everyone cringe.

Do we want a vital segment of the economy that has flourished for two decades without significant government controls subjected to the bureaucratic whims of Washington?

Do we want the nation’s 20th-century regulator of broadcasters and phone companies morphing into a 21st-century Internet traffic cop?

We don’t need a “Federal Internet Commission.”

In addition to the self- vs. government-regulation debate, the FCC will get to define what constitutes a “free market” in cyberspace. It boils down to this: Does free mean ISPs pushing all content equally through their pipes, or is free when ISPs can offer faster service to those willing to pay for it?

We believe it is the latter ...

We’ve seen enough meddling with the First Amendment on public airwaves. We don’t need bureaucrats intruding in the copper wires and fiber optic lines connecting our homes to the rest of the world.

Heavy regulation seldom benefits the marketplace, yet that’s what many people are asking be done to the country’s largest market.

The FCC public comment period closes in September.

Those asking for a heavier government hand in the Internet should tread lightly, because they may get exactly what they wish for.

Fear indifference: Bordering on inhumanity “Perhaps the Catholic church would volunteer to pony up some cash for the illegals’ care then? Hmm?” “Pope should stay out of it. Matter of civil laws, not church laws.”

“Thinking that the pope should want the illegals to go to Argentina to get better soccer players for World Cup.” Those were just three Twitter responses I was tagged in, in response to a headline about Pope Francis calling so many of us out on our indifference.

Based on some of the reactions, you would have thought Pope Francis himself was giving unaccompanied minors rides in his Popemobile into the United States, encouraging the dangerous journey and

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez chaos at the end of the road.

Headlines certainly don’t always help matters. The afore-quoted Tweeters were reacting to: “Pope Francis calls on U.S. to welcome illegal immigrants.” His message though, wasn’t a call to abolish borders and law, but to see the humanity, for goodness’ sake.

What this shepherd of the leading charitable organization in the world said was that people of good will cannot tolerate a “throwaway culture;” this happens to be a leading theme of his papacy. We so often don’t even look at the person next

to us on an elevator. So, of course, women and children and men showing up on our border – what is clearly both a humanitarian crisis and a political headache – wanting a better life is abstract and foreign to most of us at best.

In a message to a conference on migration in Mexico, Pope Francis addressed our current border situation: “I would ... like to draw attention to the tens of thousands of children who migrate alone, unaccompanied, to escape poverty and violence.” They’ve largely made the trip, he wrote, from Central America and Mexico “under extreme conditions and in pursuit of a hope that in most cases turns out to be vain.

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

WE DESERVE ANSWERS To the Editor: We deserve answers concerning the new Affordable Health Care Plan, but our government hopes we will forget and stop asking.

It is claimed that between 8 to 9 million people signed up.

However, out of those, how many consummated the contract by paying the premiums or by the government paying via Medicaid? Out of the remaining, how many previously had health insurance of any form, prior to signing up? This remainder is the real number of former uninsured people that are now insured. Out of those, how many are below 35 years of age? The plan needs a great many young healthy people to work financially.

Our government receives information via computers and phones, knows what we eat, who we talk to, and what our buying habits are, but says they haven’t tracked that information. Did they ask or could they now ask, or maybe they don’t want to. These responses are unacceptable.

They are increasing day by day.” He described it as a humanitarian emergency that “requires, as a first urgent measure, these children be welcomed and protected.”

Now before you agree with the Tweeters, read on.

“These measures, however, will not be sufficient, unless they are accompanied by policies that inform people about the dangers of such a journey and, above all, that promote development in their countries of origin.”

Instead of demanding the U.S. open its borders to whomever, whenever, the Pope implored, “this challenge demands the attention of the entire international community so that new forms of legal and secure migration may be adopted.”

We live during a time when our senses are overloaded and our attention spans for other people’s problems can be short. But the situation at our borders is about people we have a responsibility to as fellow human beings in a country that has much, even as we aren’t always good stewards of the gifts.

We’re talking about people who see – or were told – their recourse for hope in their lives was coming here.

At the very least, we can show them love, which is not a government program or political platform. It is the people of Sacred Heart parish and the Archdiocese of Chicago and Americans opening their homes to help give a brother or sister a place to feel safe.

We fear, among other things, of course, that our country can’t sustain this.

That’s certainly true, and this crisis is a wake-up call and a scandal, exposing layers of incompetence, lawlessness and indifference in our government and culture when it comes to immigration. It’s an issue that’s used as a political battering ram, as pastors who see the human fallout daily have long pled for civic responsi-

bility and human decency.

“Solidarity means taking responsibility for those in trouble,” St. John Paul II wrote in 1996. “For Christians, the migrant is not merely an individual to be respected in accordance with the norms established by law, but a person whose presence challenges them and whose needs become an obligation for their responsibility. ‘What have you done to your brother?’ The answer should not be limited to what is imposed by law, but should be made in the manner of solidarity.”

Oh, Brother, help us, if we cannot see we cannot see through to the heart and the urgency.

Our laws, our rhetoric, our indifference – and our Twitter reflexes – are not worthy of who we say we are as Americans.

PHIL LAWLER CLASSIC: JOLIET CATHOLIC 3, PROSPECT 2

23

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, July 24, 2014

LISLE – The script could not have been written any better.

In the space of two pitches, Joliet Catholic went from winning Wednesday night’s semifinal over Prospect in the Phil Lawler Classic summer state baseball tournament at Benedictine University, to having to play on, to winning it again.

Nick Dalesandro, who had tied the game, 2-2, in the bottom of the fifth inning with a two-run single up the middle against Prospect left-hander Tyler Damasky, greeted right-handed reliever Willie Sampson with another single up the middle with one out in the bottom of the seventh.

Speedy Mitch Boe, who had been on second base, raced around third with the winning run. But Damasky, who moved to center field after walking Keegan Tyrell, the batter before Dalesandro, threw a strike on the fly to catcher Grant Miller, who was waiting for Boe to arrive and applied the tag for the second out.

That left runners on first and second. But if Damasky’s throw was supposed to demoralize the Hilltoppers (18-0), it didn’t. Left-handed hitting Drake Fellows stepped up and drilled a single to the left-center field gap and Tyrell easily scored the game-winner in a thrilling 3-2 victory.

“I just wanted to stay back and take it up the middle or to the left side,” Fellows said.

“It was a great team victory,” Dalesandro said. “We picked each other up. I hit that ball in the seventh inning pretty hard and sometime you don’t want to hit it hard. Then Drake comes up and helps me out and our team out. Now we go compete for a state championship.”

The Hilltoppers (18-0), who are bidding to become the first unbeaten state champion in the 39-year history of the tournament, will meet East Suburban

win over Prairie Ridge. He said he feels he has a couple of innings in his arm for the championship game.

The plan Wednesday was to use the committee on the mound. JCA coach Jared Voss started junior right-hander George Manikas. He allowed two second-inning runs, ending the Hilltoppers’ streak of 17 straight scoreless innings in the tournament.

Dan Belling and Alex Ragusa pitched two scoreless innings each and Mike Quiram, who made an excellent defensive play at third base to close the top of the sixth, pitched a perfect seventh inning and gained the victory.

Propsect (26-7-1) held onto its 2-0 lead until the bottom of the fifth. The Hillltoppers had

help, loading the bases on a dropped fly ball, a hit batsman and a two-out walk to Tyrell.

Dalesandro then delivered the game-tying two-run single.

That was JCA’s second hit in the game and they had only three entering the seventh, when they doubled that total.

Boe doubled earlier in the inning, before Dalesandro’s and Fellows’ back-to-back singles.

“The mob did a nice job,” Voss said of his committee on the mound. “Nick [Dalesandro] got the big hit to knock the two runs in, and he almost had the other big hit. Then Drake came up behind him. That’s your 3and 4-hitters.”

And that’s why the Hilltoppers will be playing for all the marbles Thursday night.

SOFTBALL

Pearl named Lewis softball coach “I knew George DiMatteo from seeing him on the recruiting trails. This is a huge honor to coach a team he coached for so long.

I did the math, and if I coach here as long as he did, I’ll be in a walker by then.”

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Although he was Lewis’ softball coach seemingly forever, George DiMatteo was destined to retire eventually.

The time came after last season, and the Flyers feel they have filled the void with a capable replacement.

Becky Pearl, the head coach at Judson University the last 10 years, was named to the post this week. She officially begins her duties Aug. 4.

“I knew George DiMatteo from seeing him on the recruiting trails,” Pearl said.

“This is a huge honor to coach a team he coached for so long.

I did the math, and if I coach here as long as he did, I’ll be in a walker by then.”

Pearl set a school-record at Judson with more than 250 victories and helped Judson advance to the National Christian College Athletic Association Tournament six times, with three third-place finishes.

In 2011, she guided the Eagles to their first Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship and was named the CCAC Coach of the Year.

That year, she was awarded the first of her three NCCAA Regional Coach of the

Becky Pearl is replacing George DiMatteo as Lewis softball coach.

Year awards, including being honored as the National Fastpitch Coaches Association Regional Coach of the Year.

She said the moving from coaching on the NAIA level to the NCAA Division II level will not change anything in her approach.

“I go for outstanding student/athletes so in my mind, no, I won’t do anything dif-

ferent because I have a high standard to begin with,” Pearl said. “There are lots of good players out there and a lot of schools trying to get them.

We’ll be among them.”

Pearl was a pitcher and third baseman during her playing days at Crete-Monee and Illinois Wesleyan. “It was mainly third base in college,” she said. “I’m only 5-4, and

that’s not really conducive to being a pitcher.”

She served as a graduate assistant at Illinois Wesleyan before landing the head coaching job at Judson.

“Coach Pearl will be a great addition to the Lewis coaching staff,” Director of Athletics Dr. John Planek said. “Her head coaching experience, knowing the

Chicagoland recruiting landscape and her pitching expertise really gives her a strong foundation to lead the Flyer program.

“You can’t replace Coach DiMatteo and all that he meant to the softball program and Lewis University for over 30 years, but Coach Pearl will continue on this path of excellence that has been forged.”

The Flyers finished 2324 last season. Senior Kelly Bowler from Lockport will return to lead the pitching staff next spring, and Ali Brems, who had a good season in the circle and with the bat, also will be back for her senior season.

TRAVERSE CITY 4, SLAMMERS 2 (11 inn.)

Slammers suffer similar fate as last game fate in their next game.

Traverse City moved in front in the sixth when Greg Harisis got a single and then Yazy Arbelo followed with a two-run shot to right for his 11th home run on the season.

Slammers starter Andrew Busby had a fine outing, allowing five hits and two runs while striking out four in 71⁄3 innings before being relieved

by Harry Marino.

Beach Bums starter Ian

Traverse City nearly added to its lead in the eighth when Jeff DeBlieux reached third with two outs and Jose Vargas sent to shot to first that Adam Giacalone dove for and then made a flip to pitcher Sam Moore, who just beat the hitter to first for the final out.

Joliet evened things in the bottom of the eighth inning

when Grant DeBruin got a two-out single and Moldenhauer drove him in with a double to center.

Moore struck out a pair of hitters while retiring the side in the ninth and then another strikeout in the 10th. He didn’t allow a hit in his first 21⁄3 innings of relief.

Joliet begins a threegame series at Windy City on Thursday and travels to Traverse City for three more games before returning home next week.

p.m. Sunday.

“We don’t have lights at the Channahon field,” Markee said. “That’s why the start times are a little earlier than they were at St. Joe’s in the past. We can’t play the night games that they did.

“Still, we hope to have a good local crowd show up.

Our kids have a real good shot in this one. They won the New Lenox Tournament they were in earlier this season and held their own when they went out to Cooperstown.

“If these kids play like they know how, they have a good shot. There would be nothing like winning it on your home field. We hope to have some sort of home-field advantage.

One thing is for sure. This is going to be some good baseball. Whichever team makes it out of here will have earned that trip to California.”

INDIAN PRIDE TRACK MEET

Gummerson’s summer track meet keeps growing

By ROB OESTRLE roesterle@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – In 2008, Minooka track and field and cross country coach Kevin Gummerson had an idea.

He wanted to get the community involved and teach them about track and field.

So, he started the Indian Pride track meet, an event that has grown since its inception.

For five years, the Indian Pride meet was held three times a year at Minooka High School’s track, and the attendance steadily increased. The past two years, it has been held twice there and once at Channahon Community Park, where the Indians’ high school cross country team hosts its meets. Gummerson estimated that 30 to 40 people showed up for last year’s final meet at

Community Park.

The attendance more than doubled in Monday’s final meet of the year, as the participants numbered in the neighborhood of 100, ages ranging from preschoolers to parents to even some grandparents.

Gummerson is more than pleased with what the event has become.

“We’ve had a better and better turnout every year,” Gum-

merson said. “When we started it in 2008, we pretty much just had kids from our track team and their parents coming out here.

Then, it started spreading through word of mouth that this was a pretty fun thing to do, and more and more people started coming.

“We don’t care who comes out here. Of course, we are partial to people in our school

district, but we welcome everybody. We have had plenty of people from the Morris area come over here, Shorewood, areas like that. It’s just a fun way for people to get together and enjoy the sport of track and field.”

In the events at Minooka, the meets involve both running and field events, such as

CHANNAHON – For years, seemingly forever, the Bronco North Zone Tournament has been a summer youth baseball fixture for 12-year-olds at St. Joseph Park.

This year, however, is different. The tournament will not be held its traditional stomping grounds. Instead, Channahon will take up the local banner and host the tournament, which involves eight teams from throughout the Midwest and sends the winner to the World Series in Los Alamitos, Calif.

“St. Joe’s decided they didn’t want to host it any more,” said Channahon tournament director Trevor Markee. “So, we decided to throw our hats in the ring, and we got it.

“We are very excited to have it. We have put about $10,000 worth of work into our field in the last few years and it will be nice to show it off.”

The park, located on South Tryon Street in Channahon, just south of Pioneer Path School on Route 6, has new brick dugouts and backstop, as well as a press box and concession stand.

The tournament begins at 10 a.m. Thursday, with games also starting at 12:30 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. The same schedule follows on Friday and Saturday.

Channahon, as the host team, earned an automatic entry into the tourney and will play in the Red Pool at 5:30 Thursday against a team from Michigan, 5:30 Friday against Kankakee and 10 a.m. Saturday against McCutcheon, Ind. The other pool, the Blue,

Palmer enters camp as No. 2 quarterback

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, July 24, 2014

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com BOURBONNAIS – One year ago in the same room we sat in Wednesday at Olivet Nazarene University, Phil Emery put his trust in Josh McCown to be the Bears’ backup quarterback.

At the opening news conference for the 2014 training camp, Phil Emery and Marc Trestman talked at length about the two veterans vying to be this year’s McCown, Jordan Palmer and Jimmy Clausen.

Despite the heavy praise Emery had for Clausen, whose workout with the Bears was “as good a quarterback workout that we’ve seen since I’ve been here,” Palmer still has the first shot to be Jay Cutler’s backup.

“There’s three guys there up for the No. 2, but it’s going to start with Jordan and we feel really good about Jimmy and we felt really good about David [Fales]’ performance as well,” Trestman said. “We’re

The Bears’ Jordan Palmer prepares to throw June 11 during mini camp at the Walter Payton Center in Lake Forest. going to give Jordan the first shot, he’s been here the longest. Jimmy Clausen has the most experience so we’re going to work him in there.

We’re going to continue to provide David with opportunity throughout camp to play and perform not only in practice, but in the games.”

Emery was impressed with the progress he saw from Clau-

sen after shoulder surgery last September.

“I think he grew from a leadership perspective. I think his focus grew. He always showed me he could be creative and make some plays on his own,” Emery said. “I don’t think mobility is his biggest asset, but I definitely saw a player that knows how to get out of the way and get the ball

off in time, and a mentally tough player that will take a hit to deliver the ball with accuracy and precision.

“I really like how he came in here. He’s got a little chip on his shoulder right now. He wants to re-prove himself or prove himself and he’s very focused.”

Emery said that Clausen reached out to Cutler and the two of them spent a weekend working on the playbook, helping get Clausen through minicamp and sticking with the roster for Bourbonnais.

The issue for every team’s competition at backup quarterback – always a weird battle on a team like the Bears, when the winner of the No. 2 job ideally will only take a snap if Cutler gets hurt – is reps.

“It’s going to be interesting.

There’s not going to be a lot of reps for them,” Cutler said. “I think a lot of it is going to play out in the preseason games, because I’m going to get a lot of the reps in camp.

“Jordan, he’s been around a long time, his older brother,

“We’re going to give Jordan the first shot, he’s been here the longest.

Jimmy Clausen has the most experience so we’re going to work him in there.”

Marc Trestman Bears head coach he’s been able to watch him a lot. Jimmy, he’s played in big games at Notre Dame and kinda got the pedigree. He’s a high-round pick, he was in a tough position in Carolina.

They’re both very hungry, they’ve both worked extremely hard this offseason putting in the time mentally, which is probably more important for them right now, just trying to figure out the playbook so they can go to the line of scrimmage and be fluent in what they want to do. We’ll see how it goes.”

‘We want to get kids out here and enjoy the sport of track and field’ • TRACK MEET Continued from page 25 high jump or long jump. In the final event Monday, there was a 20-meter toddler dash for youngsters 3 and younger, a 200-meter hay bale dash for kids ages up to 10, an open mile for everyone, a 3x1-mile relay and a 3-mile hay bale run.

The distance runs were set on the scenic Community Park course and featured a few banks of five or six hay bales to hurdle, just to add to the fun.

“We want to get kids out here and enjoy the sport of track and field,” Gummerson said. “It’s a great sport. There are tons of opportunities for kids to try all kinds of sports in the summertime, so we thought, why not track and field? It offers something for just about everyone. As long as they want to compete, we

will find an event for them.

There aren’t too many kids that try it and don’t find something they like.”

And, they get them started early. One runner, Keegan Lundin – the 3-year-old son of Minooka boys track coach Nick Lundin – said he was there to “run. I am fast, like Lightning McQueen.” Then he went out and proved it by placing second in the 200-meter hay bale run.

But places are an afterthought at the Indian Pride meet. What matters is the enjoyment for young and old alike.

“We’ve been coming to this for four years,” said Mandy Fonck, mother of a 4-year-old and 10-month-old. “Caleb, our 4-year-old, has been coming to this since he was 17 months.

He was running around the house all the time practicing.

One good thing is that the kids sleep very well on the night after the meet is over.”

Craig Lincoln for Shaw Media

Keegan Lundin, 3½, practices hurdling over hay bales Monday before the Indian Pride track meet. His practice paid off as he took second place in the 200-meter hay bale dash.

Kansas City Royals’ Mike Moustakas knocks the ball out of the glove of White Sox catcher Tyler Flowers, allowing Moustakas to score the winning run, during the ninth inning Wednesday at U.S. Cellular Field.

ROYALS 2, WHITE SOX 1

Roller-coaster ride for Flowers

By DARYL VAN SCHOUWEN dvanschouwen@suntimes.com CHICAGO – It’s been a peaks-and-valleys kind of year for Tyler Flowers, and Wednesday was a peak-and-valley kind of day for the White Sox’s catcher.

After the Sox’s 2-1 loss to the Kansas City Royals, Flowers had to explain how Mike Moustakas led with his knee to jar the ball out of Flowers’ mitt in the ninth, allowing what turned out to be the winning run to score. Center fielder Adam Eaton had made a perfect one-hop throw after fielding Nori Aoki’s single.

“I thought I had it the whole time,” said Flowers, who heard more than a few boos and hoots from the crowd of 23,811 on a delightfully cool and sunny July afternoon.

Only hours before, Flowers happily stood at the same spot by his locker talking about his dash from U.S. Cellular Field

to Northwestern Hospital after Monday’s game and how he seemed to hit every green light along the way, allowing him to arrive in time to be with his wife for the birth of the couple’s second child. The big moment came only 38 minutes after the final out.

“It was a whirlwind,” Flowers said of the previous couple of days.

The way the Sox were hitting, a clean play by Flowers might have only lengthened the time it took them to get beat. After the second inning, they scratched out only Flowers’ single to left and Alexei Ramirez’s infield hit against James Shields and the Royals’ stout bullpen.

All they scrounged up offensively was Adam Dunn’s RBI single in the first that scored Jose Abreu, who had doubled.

After that, Dunn and Abreu each struck out three times.

The Sox sent three batters to the plate in each of the last five

innings, and with that, another strong outing by Jose Quintana – who lowered his ERA to 3.15 with seven innings and one run allowed – went down the tubes. It was the 36th no-decision of Quintana’s 2½-year career.

“We had opportunities and weren’t able to really scratch across anything to push ahead,” manager Robin Ventura said.

On the plus side for Flowers, he had two hits, giving him nine in his past 15 at-bats over the past five games. He hit .354 in the first month of the season before nose-diving to .208 in May and .129 in June. He’s trying to salvage July with a streak that hiked his average to .235 after it had bottomed out at .213.

“Swinging at good pitches, getting in better counts, that always makes it a little bit easier,” Flowers said. “That’s kind of the big objective: Swing at strikes, take the balls.”

SPORTS BRIEF Wallace Jr. wins Mudsummer Classic ROSSBURG, Ohio – Darrell Wallace Jr. won the Mudsummer Classic on Wednesday night on the dirt at Eldora Speedway for his second Camping World Truck Series victory of the year.

Wallace took the lead from Kyle Larson on the final restart on the half-mile oval and held on for his third career series victory.

The Kyle Busch Motorsports driver also won this year at Gateway.

Larson repeatedly hit the outside wall after giving up the lead, finally damaging his truck so much that he slowed to a crawl while running second with two laps left.

Ron Hornaday took advantage of Larson’s problems to finish second.

Whirlwind for faith

Joliet weather expert isn’t foggy about his priorities If you go

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – There’s just one reason why Joliet area weather guru Jeremy Hylka passed up a career in meteorology: God. “God said, ‘Weather is great but teaching the faith is more important,” Hylka said. “As much as I love to speak on weather – I was on the ‘Oprah Winfrey’ show in 1996 for storm chasing – I use my voice today for him.”

Although many people in the Joliet area equate weather updates with Hylka, the local Catholic community knows another side of – and has been greatly influenced by – him, said Paul Mach, diocesan director for youth ministry.

“I can think of five people off the top of my head that are in ministry today because of Jeremy,” Mach said. “His energy is just contagious.”

Hold onto your hats, because this weather director for the volunteer-staffed Joliet Weather Center and severe weather analyst for the WJOL radio is a real whirlwind for his faith. For starters, Hylka is the youth minister and liturgist at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church in Joliet and the theology teacher and Respect Life Club moderator at Joliet Catholic Academy.

“I feel my calling is to help teens learn the path of holiness and following Christ,” Hylka said, “to be in the world, but not of it.”

However, Hylka also serves director of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Lockport and is a diocesan master of ceremonies for the bishops.

He enjoys speaking about the Catholic faith.

Hylka volunteers as lector, extraordinary minister and catechist at St. Jude Catholic Church in New Lenox. Furthermore, at both the parish and diocesan level, Hylka participates in variety of organizations, clubs and committees, he said.

n WHAT: “Going Against the Grain” n WHEN: 7 p.m. Monday n WHERE: Gatto’s Restaurant,

1938 E. Lincoln Highway, New Lenox n ETC.: As part of the Diocese of Joliet’s “Theology on Tap” series, Jeremy Hylka, Joliet area weather personality speaker for the diocese, will share his thoughts on conversion, discipleship and sainthood for young adults ages 18-35. n VISIT: www.dioceseofjoliet.org/ yam n KNOW MORE: Jeremy Hylka enjoys talking on the following topics: “The Crucifixion of Christ,” “Discipleship and Evangelization,” “Salvation History: From Adam to Jesus,” “Let the Spirit Flow (Confirmation),” “Celebrating the Sacraments” “and Defending All Human Life.” Contact him at jeremyhylka@gmail.com.

Jeremy Hylka, best known in the Joliet area as a weather expert, puts God and faith first in his life.

Each January, Hylka said, helps lead a pilgrimage to the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C. His Facebook page said he is also on the Diocese of Joliet Bishops Board for ProLife and is the co-chair for St. Paul’s Right to Life Group.

“I have a huge desire to preach the pro-life message,” Hylka said, “and stand up against abortion and defend all areas of life, from conception to natural death.”

That page also said Hylka co-leads pilgrimages in the United States and several worldwide trips. Through the years, Hylka has attended five World Youth Day pilgrimages – seeing the current Pope was the main attraction – in Rome, Canada, Germany, Australia and Spain.

“He always asks how he can help,” Mach said. “He’s always willing to step forward and support things. Sometimes I

worry that he’ll burn himself out, and I say, ‘Jeremy, you’ve got to say, no.’ But that’s not Jeremy.”

All these faith-related activities are from a man who has had a fascination for weather since he was 5. Moreover, until Hylka attended join the College of DuPage meteorology program in Glen Ellyn (Hylka received his meteorology degree from Northern Illinois University) that knowledge was completely self-acquired, much of it first-hand.

“My mom remembers when I was little, my best friend slept over and the tornado sirens went off,” Hylka said. “My friend wanted to run for cover and my mom had a hard time keeping me inside.”

Every school science project was weather-related, Hylka said. As a Joliet West High School student, Hylka was reporting Joliet temperatures –

as well as snowfall and rainfall amounts – for many Chicago television outlets; he served as weather watcher for them, too.

In college, Hylka began following and videotaping tornadoes. With the cast of the movie, “Twister,” Hylka was featured on the “Oprah Winfrey Show” as one of four real tornado chasers, Hylka’s Facebook page said.

One thing he did not do, Hylka said, was become involved with any church-related ministry.

Then at Mass one day, the words from the pulpit, “youth should be doing something to help their church,” spoke to Hylka.

In response, Hylka began ushering, the “youngest usher by 50 years,” he said. In November 1997, when the youth minister asked Hylka to help out, Hylka did. Six months later, when the position opened

up and Hylka was asked to accept it, he did.

That’s when the potential career became the volunteer work and the volunteer work became the career. The beauty of God’s mysterious ways, Hylka said, is that Hylka can dedicate his life to both.

“Here we are, 16 years later,” Hylka said. “I love working with youth, their energy and passion to know the faith.

With the media – MTV, movies and music – throwing so much garbage at our youth, they need to learn the truth about how much God loves them.”

Still, Hylka’s No. 1 priority is his wife Amber and their 2-year-old son Caleb. Hylka said It helps that Amber supports Hylka’s dedication for ministry (“I do call on her to volunteer a lot,” Hylka said).

In fact, they met at a diocesan young adult Eucharistic group, he said.

“When you get married, Christ needs to be part of that relationship,” Hylka said, “so when I proposed to her, I knelt down in front of the altar at St. Jude’s.”

Nazarene grad pens book about church reformists The HERALD–NEWS Author Paul F. McCleary erases misconception about early church reformists.

With the experience of having served as a staff to the Structure Study Commission of the General Conference of 1968, McCleary wrote “Reform Movements in Methodism and How They Were Treated (1784–1830),” a comprehensive book that explores and dissects how and to what degree the Methodist denomination’s form of government is contributing to the present day society’s current malaise.

McCleary examines early reform movements in American Methodism and their impact on the governance within the denomination – how

churches respond to each reform is detailed.

He is a graduate of Olivet Nazarene University, Bourbonnais, Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary, and Northwestern University, both in Evanston. He has an honorary doctorate of divinity from MacMurray College, Jacksonville.

McCleary served student appointments in Illinois Great Rivers Conference of the United Methodist Church before going to Bolivia as a missionary, where he served as district superintendent and executive secretary of the Annual Conference.

He currently resides in Arizona.

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama on Monday ordered employment protection for gay and transgender employees who work for the federal government or for companies holding federal contracts, telling advocates he embraced the “irrefutable rightness of your cause.”

“America’s federal contracts should not subsidize discrimination against the American people,” Obama declared at a White House signing ceremony.

Obama said it was unacceptable that being gay is still a fireable offense in many places in

the United States, and he called on Congress to extend the ban to all employers. But legislation that would extend the ban has become embroiled in a dispute over whether religious groups should get exemptions.

The president had long resisted pressure to pursue an executive anti-discrimination order covering federal contractors in the hope that Congress would take more sweeping action. The Senate passed legislation last year with some Republican support, but it has not been considered by the GOP-controlled House. Now, said Obama, “It’s time to address this injustice for every American.”

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The length outweighs the weakness

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Lucius Annaeus Seneca, a Roman philosopher, statesman and dramatist, said, “Life’s like a play: it’s not the length, but the excellence of the acting that matters.”

A bridge deal is often not like a play, because it is the length (of a suit) that matters.

In this example, how should South plan the play in four hearts after West leads the club queen?

South, with two aces and 11 points, was right to open one heart, not two hearts. North’s jump to four hearts was aggressive. A game-invitational three hearts would have been normal.

But South would surely have passed and ruined the play ... er, column.

South starts with four losers: one spade, one diamond and two clubs. He has nine winners: six hearts, two diamonds and one club. His only realistic chance is to establish dummy’s spade suit. For that, he needs to find the spades splitting 4-3 and to have four dummy entries: three for spade ruffs in his hand and one to get back to the dummy (after drawing trumps) to cash the 13th spade.

South must act immediately, winning the first trick with his club ace and leading his spade.

Let’s assume East takes the trick, cashes his club king, and plays his last club. West wins and shifts to a diamond.

Declarer wins in the dummy, ruffs a spade, plays a low heart to dummy’s 10, ruffs a spade high, leads another trump to dummy’s king, ruffs a third spade, and cashes the heart ace. When everything passes off perfectly, South leads a diamond to dummy and cashes the remaining spade, discarding his last diamond. Excellent!

ADVICE

Dear Abby: Is it acceptable to bring a teacup-sized dog to a wedding? The excuse was, “Well, the wedding was at the beach.” The pre-dinner and dancing were inside a high-end resort on the beach. The dog was taken inside these establishments.

After a guest – a family member of the dog’s owner – asked the owner to remove the animal because the occasion was not about her and her dog but the bride and groom’s day, the owner put the dog in a carrying case and the dog returned to the wedding for the rest of the night. Only this one couple made an issue of it and they weren’t in the wedding party, but relations of the dog owner.

What do you think? – Doggone Disgusted Dear Doggone Disgusted: The rule of etiquette states that nothing should distract atten-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips tion from the happy couple – and especially the bride – at the wedding. However, IF the dog owner had first asked for and received permission to bring the animal to the festivities, then it wasn’t rude and the relatives of the dog owner were wrong to intervene.

Dear Abby: We were recently at dinner with longtime friends whose political views are different from ours. I believe in the rule of etiquette about avoiding the topics of politics and religion in mixed company.

Well, somehow the conversation turned political. Voices were raised and I stood up and ended it.

There are now many hurt

feelings with the parties involved still disagreeing about what happened and how it was handled. I know my actions were extreme, but things were out of control and I was upset.

How do I deal with this if we are invited to future events? – Keeping The Peace Dear Keeping The Peace: You may be worrying needlessly, because you may not be invited to future events – at least until the next election is over. Whatever your friends were arguing about, while you had a right to speak up and say it was making you uncomfortable, because your reaction was “extreme,” you may have been as rude as the others. If you caused hurt feelings that evening, you should apologize, if you haven’t already.

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Optical and computer aids help those with poor vision Dear Doctor K: I have poor vision that is making it more and more difficult for me to live independently. Are there tools that can help with my day-to-day activities?

Dear Reader: Like you, some of my patients have poor vision, which limits their ability to perform activities such as reading a newspaper, using a computer, watching television, cooking a meal or crossing the street. For some, poor vision means poor central vision. For others, it is blurry vision, loss of peripheral vision or even double vision. But however your vision is affected, there are ways to cope: • Optical Aids. The magnifying lens remains one of the most common tools to help compensate for poor vision. Most magnifying lenses are made to be held, but some can be incorporated into the lens of a pair of prescription glasses and used for reading or detail work.

Special lenses that work like miniature telescopes can be mounted on a pair of glasses and used for driving or watching a movie. And glasses with special filters may help with excessive glare or reduced contrast (less distinction between light and dark).

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff • Computer Aids. Software programs can make the text on a computer monitor larger or more legible by allowing you to change font size and background displays. Specialized text-to-speech conversion programs read text aloud, while speech-recognition software converts speech to text.

Special keyboards, magnifiers for monitors and other devices are also available.

In the late 1990s, a patient of mine developed a condition that caused his vision to worsen. He was a writer, and he felt that his career would end when his eyesight failed. “How can I read? How can I even read what I write?” he asked me. A self-styled “old-fashioned” guy, he wrote on a typewriter.

Switching to a computer made a huge difference. He started writing on one, using a large font size. He found someone to scan books and documents, and then used the computer to enlarge the text of the scanned documents.

As e-books became common a few

years later, it became even easier to read everything he needed to.

If his eyesight worsens further, text-to-speech conversion will help him read by listening. And voice-recognition technology will allow him to write by talking.

• Other Aids. Electronic “talking” watches, alarm clocks and calculators let you rely on your hearing rather than your vision. Listening to audiobooks is another popular option.

A simple desk lamp with a metal shade is one of the easiest ways to improve vision if you use it properly.

Position the lamp so that the light shines directly onto the materials in front of you, rather than over your shoulder or high above you.

Other inexpensive, low-tech vision aids include large-print versions of playing cards and bingo cards, and push-button telephone and cellphone pads.

And, of course, many books and newspapers come in large-print versions.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself Dr. Wallace: I’m 16 and was attending a new high school this year because I got into a fight at my old school. The girl I fought with was expelled because she told a teacher that she was going to kill me.

My parents had me transferred to the new school because they were afraid for my safety at my previous school. I hated my new school this year. The kids are stuck-up and are not friendly. Being there this past year was like being in prison.

This summer some friends from my old school told me that the girl who threatened to kill me was shipped back to Mexico and won’t be coming back to my old school in the fall.

The timing is perfect to transfer back since we are on summer break.

But when I told my parents this and asked if I could transfer back to my old school, they said no. Please help me. – Consuelo, El Paso, Texas Dear Consuelo: It is not easy leaving familiar surroundings and friends, but I agree with your parents that changing schools was in your best interest.

It always takes time to adjust to a move.

Getting involved in school activities is a good way of making new friends. All high schools have numerous clubs and activities, including sports teams, drama club, choir and band, school newspaper and community volunteer groups where teens with similar interests meet and have fun. Do yourself a big favor and get involved!

Stop feeling sorry for yourself. I guarantee that you will make new friends very soon.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Dr. Wallace: I’m not involved in the drug scene. I’ve never taken a drug, and I never will.

I’ve dated two guys who did drugs. One was doing meth and smoking pot, and the other one did cocaine and then crack cocaine.

The guy who did cocaine flipped out when he started smoking crack cocaine. I really cared for this guy, but crack cocaine changed his personality.

What’s in crack cocaine that makes a person flip? – Cindy, Santa Fe, N.M. Dear Cindy: I receive many letters and emails from readers wanting information on crack cocaine.

The introduction of crack cocaine into the drug community was particularly alarming.

First, the cost of crack is dramatically less than other forms of cocaine.

Next, crack is usually mixed with tobacco or marijuana and smoked.

Smoking crack allows high doses of cocaine to reach the brain almost instantly, producing the most dramatic cocaine high. This rapid “high” is followed by a deep “low” that leaves the user craving more. As a result, crack can be rapidly addicting.

Besides addiction, crack can cause medical problems and even death. The powerful craving for crack cocaine makes it very difficult for the user to break the habit alone.

Taking a day trip or sharing thoughts with people from different backgrounds will spark new concerns as well as solutions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Your curiosity and adaptability will lead to favorable changes. Head in an intriguing new direction, and you will be applauded for your innovative and inspirational ideas.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – You will be respected for your opinions and insight if you have the courage to speak out. Your clarity and vision will draw attention and lead to improvements.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Take a moment to adjust to whatever challenges you face. A small respite from daunting responsibilities will help recharge your batteries as well as encourage solutions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Get involved in a cause and interact with interesting people. You will do best with a group striving to make social change. Your contribution will be valued.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t get drawn into any arguments. Even though things may not work out as planned, accept the changes happening around you. Compromise will eventually lead to victory.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You are on an upward path. If you take advantage of past experience and your natural inquisitiveness, nothing will prevent you from achieving your goals. Embrace the future.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Mull over an investment opportunity, but don’t wait until it’s too late to act. Be prepared to make whatever commitment is most likely to benefit both you and your family.

By PETER CHIANCA More Content Now Let’s face it, “Weird Al” Yankovic albums are impervious to typical reviews – you either appreciate his song and style parodies, or there’s something wrong with you. (“He who is tired of ‘Weird Al’ is tired of life,” to quote Homer Simpson.)

That said, it would be hard for anyone to deny that Al’s latest effort, “Mandatory Fun,” continues the late-career renaissance that began with 2006’s “Straight Outta Lynwood.” (A run only slightly outmatched by the actual Renaissance.)

He may not cover a lot of new ground, but as this track-by-track rundown shows, Yankovic is as Al as ever. I’ll try not to overuse the word “brilliant,” but it will be hard.

1.) “Handy” (parody of Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy”). Some of Al’s best songs have taken the form of commercials – I’ve always been partial to “King of Suede,” probably because of my family history with haberdashery – and his latest, featuring a handyman pleading for clients to “Let me glue dat, glue dat, and screw dat, screw dat,” preserves his pitchman tradition beautifully. Stars: 4 out of 5.

2.) “Lame Claim to Fame” (style parody of Southern Culture on the Skids). The concept, skewering people who insist on playing up tenuous connections to celebrities, gets old kind of fast. But it’s worth sticking out for the references to Kevin Bacon and YouTube video commenters. Stars: 3 out of 5.

3.) “Foil” (parody of Lorde’s “Royals”). Not only the best tribute to aluminum foil ever, but the best one possible. And I dare you not to laugh out loud when you realize where the mid-song shift in direction is going. Stars: 4 out of 5.

4.) “Sports Song” (parody of every college fight song ever). I’m usually not a big fan of the phrase “You s-ck!”, but if there was ever a perfect context for it, this song is it. Stars: 5 out of 5.

5.) “Word Crimes” (parody of Robin Thicke’s “Blurred Lines”). Al simply annihilates the original, a mess of misogynistic claptrap, by meticulously replacing it with a brilliant (there, I said it) plea for proper grammar and usage that will immediately become every editor and English teacher’s favorite. Somewhere, Strunk and White are smiling. Stars: 5 out of 5.

6.) “My Own Eyes” (style parody of the Foo Fighters). It always feels like Al’s coasting when he falls back on a series of random and gross scenarios, and this litany of horrible sights he wishes he could unsee – “I saw a naked vagrant giving mouth-tomouth resuscitation to his cat; I probably

More Content Now image

“Weird Al” Yankovic drops new album of song and style parodies, “Mandatory Fun.” could have gone my whole life without seeing that” – falls into that category.

That said, it would work pretty well as an actual Foo Fighters song. Stars: 2 out of 5.

7.) “NOW That’s What I Call Polka!” Al’s polka medleys never, ever get old. The only problem with them is that they’re too short – if he put out an album-length polka medley, frankly, I would listen. And as usual, this one (featuring the likes of “Gangnam Style,” “Wrecking Ball” and “Get Lucky”) improves on every single song he includes. Stars: 5 out of 5.

8.) “Mission Statement” (style parody of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young). Anyone’s who’s ever had to sit through a business meeting on “corporate synergy” and “promoting viability” will appreciate these four minutes of business-babble filtered through CSN&Y harmonies, especially when it goes all Judy Blue Eyes at the end. Stars: 4 out of 5.

9.) “Inactive” (parody of Imagine Dragons’ “Radioactive”). This ode to couch potatoes has its moments – “I really hate this show (but) I can’t reach my remote control” – but Al’s trod this ground before, and the original song is so boring even he can’t

completely turn it around. Stars: 3 out of 5.

10.) “First World Problems” (style parody of the Pixies). Unlike the weird ramblings of “My Own Eyes,” this song laying out upper middle class tragedies (“I can’t remember which car I drove to the mall”) features things you have ACTUALLY SAID. You know who you are. Stars: 5 out of 5.

11.) “Tacky” (parody of Pharrell’s “Happy”).

If there’s one thing Al knows, it’s tacky – and the fact that, thanks to the Internet, we know there are actually people out there who do these things (“I would live Tweet a funeral, take selfies with the deceased”) proves that Al remains the right commentator for these odd times of ours.

Stars: 4 out of 5.

12.) “Jackson Park Express” (style parody of Cat Stevens). A nine-minute unspoken conversation between two bus passengers, it covers every aspect of human relationships, from intoxicating deodorants to wanting to wear the other person’s skin over your skin (“but not in a creepy way”). Genius. Stars: 5 out of 5.

BEST BETS ± 7 p.m. NBC 5 Hollywood Game Night: The show’s host gets a salute in the title of the new episode “Lynch ... Jane Lynch.” The inference is that James Bond-related questions will be included in the games, so it wouldn’t hurt for such contestants as “Parenthood” co-star Monica Potter to be up on their 007 trivia. Seth Green, Jenna Elfman, Michael Ealy, Katy Mixon (“Mike & Molly”) and Dave Foley are the other celebrity players.

± 7 p.m. ABC 7 Black Box: The drama series ends its season with new back-to-back episodes, “The Fear” and “Consequences.” Catherine (Kelly Reilly) starts exhibiting strange behavior, but she refuses to check into a hospital. She eventually goes to rehab, then braces herself to return to her home and work lives. ± 7 p.m. FOX 32 Hell’s Kitchen: Just as the Season 12 finale’s subtitle suggests, it’s “Winner Chosen” as Gordon Ramsay puts the remaining two contestants before five of Los Angeles’ top chefs. As stressful as the challenge may be, it’ll be worth it for the victor.
