City urged to buy Evergreen Terrace

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Business leaders urged the Joliet City Council to move ahead with the acquisition of Evergreen Terrace at a meeting Monday in which consultants outlined four options for what to do with the property.

Those options ranged from doing nothing with 356-unit apartment complex other than try to run it better to spending up to $70 million for what was termed “deluxe” redevelopment.

The council discussed other options, too, including going back to the owners of Evergreen Terrace to see if they still are interested in a settlement offered more than a year ago that would give the city some oversight but leave the low-income, housing project in private hands.

Business leaders tried to prod the city to move ahead with the $15 million payment due Sept. 1 if Joliet wants to take ownership.

“We’re talking here about a place that’s not as good as it can be,” said Rod Tonelli, chairman of the board at the Joliet City Center Partnership. “You fought a long battle to make it better. I ask you to move forward.”

The city of Joliet won a 10year court fight to gain eminent domain over Evergreen Terrace, which city officials contended was riddled with crime and dilapidated living conditions when the legal

Peter Holsten, president of Holsten Management Corporation, answers questions posed by the City Council Monday during a special City Council meeting in Joliet. fight started.

The city would need to pay between $11 million and $70 million to redevelop Evergreen Terrace depending on how it does it, according to the presentation at the meeting from Holsten Real Estate Development and Management Corp.

Or, the city could make money off the property if left it as-is, said Peter Holsten, president of the company.

“In this scenario, cash flow is about $1.2 million a year,” Holsten told the council. “That can go into retiring

the debt on the initial acquisition price if that’s what’s desired.”

Councilman John Gerl, the only council member to pick a favorite out of the four options, said the city should pursue the as-is plan.

Gerl said he believed the city should eventually demolish the property or seek private companies for redevelopment.

“I’m not sure the original intent 10 years ago was that the city become developers,”

Congestion suggestion: Write more tickets

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Scott Coveny of Joliet recently offered a partial solution to the city’s truck congestion problem on Route 53: Write more tickets.

Coveny, who lives near Route 53, spoke last week to the Joliet City Council about the trucking situation. Speeding and driving on side streets are just two of the problems, he said.

“They do whatever they want,” Coveny told the council. “You could sit there for

days and days and hand out tickets.”

Police Chief Ben Benton was at the meeting and said police do that.

“We continue to write tickets,” Benton said. “We continue to enforce the law. But it continues to be a problem for us. We need to have infrastructure added.”

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he was working on the infrastructure angle. He and city officials are meeting this week with state transportation officials to talk about the potential for building a Houbolt Road

bridge over the Des Plaines River, the mayor said.

He sees the bridge, which would provide a separate entryway from Interstate 80 into the CenterPoint Intermodal Center, as the long-term solution.

Coveny after the meeting said he thought the city still could do a lot in the short term just by adding police at key locations and ticketing truckers who go off their legal routes.

“They go down the side streets. They go in and out,” Coveny said. “It’s like they own the road.”

COVER STORY ‘IT’S NOT PERFECT’

• ADA Continued from page 1 And before that, Bew spent some time outside JJC’s main campus on the city’s West Side waiting to catch that bus, which arrived late because of the Jefferson Street bridge’s temporary closure.

Unlike most other college students, Bew doesn’t have the luxury of driving to and from classes. He can’t on a whim visit friends on the weekends, because of limited hours for public transportation Saturdays and buses not running Sundays.

The public transportation system Bew uses today is a vast improvement from the system available to people with disabilities in the decades leading up the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990.

But that’s no excuse to stop fighting for change, he said.

“It’s not perfect. And we shouldn’t stop now, especially when countless people rely on it. Some people don’t have a car. Some people don’t have the money to pay for gas,” said Bew, who comes from a low-income household. “It would help everyone, not just people like me.”

While there’s much to celebrate about the 25th anniversary of the ADA, local advocates and individuals now are turning their sights to the future in hopes of building continued success.

‘A long way to go’

Sam Knight, community organizer at the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living, said the nonprofit continues its push for improvements in three key areas – public housing, transportation and building accessibility – through the group’s Accessible Will County campaign.

“It’s about organizing the community, bringing everyone together,” Knight said.

The 25-year-old, who has cerebral palsy, relies on the public transportation system to get around.

What is the ADA? The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prohibits discrimination and ensures equal opportunity for people with disabilities.

Employment

This section prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions and privileges of employment.

Government services/ public transit

This section prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability by public entities, and “The ADA was a great piece of legislation. It’s a great accomplishment,” he said. “It looks at all the issues we’re still talking about today. Better housing, better public transportation, making opportuni-

ties more available for people with disabilities.

“But it still has a long way to go,” he added.

Take, for example, Pace’s Dial-a-Ride service. It’s confined in western Joliet by Plainfield

Road and Larkin Avenue to the north and east, and Jefferson Street and Interstate 55 to the south and west.

It can connect riders with main routes and drop off people at destinations within those

boundaries, but Knight said he’d rather see public transportation readily available and expanded to all parts of the county.

More accessible housing, transportation being sought in area • ADA Continued from page 3 Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he has a meeting planned for later this week with members of the WGCIL. He said he hopes to hear more about the group’s goals in providing accessible housing and improved transportation in the Joliet area.

“I want to hear what their needs are,” O’Dekirk said. “I think the goal would be to continue to work with the city. I think the city has done a great job in educating businesses [and bringing them] into ADA compliance.”

Pace Spokesman Patrick Wilmot said although the suburban bus agency is “proud of what has been accomplished” since the ADA’s passage in 1990, Pace “will be among the first to acknowledge that there are gaps in the service area and that we wish there’s more we could do to serve the community and promote independence.

“We do the best we can with the regional investment in public transit,” Wilmot said, while noting the agency is at risk of losing an $8.5 million paratransit grant from the state of Illinois in the fiscal year that started July 1.

Moving forward, Wilmot said Pace officials have goals of improving existing services in Will County, while continuing to invest in technology and working with riders, families and advocates to identify areas of improvement or expansion.

‘Looked at differently’

Sally Ritchey, a longtime employee with Trinity Services in New Lenox who in July 1990 attended the Washington, D.C., signing of the landmark legislation, said, unfortunately, issues remain for people with disabilities that can’t be addressed through legislation alone.

“Things that involve people’s attitude and perception,” Ritchey said.

Ritchey said she’s a supporter of a national campaign called “Spread the Word to End the Word,” a push to end the derogatory use of the term “retarded.” Although the term was once widely used for someone with an intellectual disability, advocates like Ritchey are pushing for an end to the term

Through her long career with Trinity Services, Ritchey said she has found people often unfairly denounce others who have a not-so-obvious disability – such as chronic mental illness.

Ritchey said Gov. Bruce Rauner’s proposed steep budget cuts in the Fiscal Year 2016 budget – which slashes funding to a wide range of human services for autism, child care, community care, home services and public transportation – serve as a major step backward for nonprofits and social service agencies with the core mission of serving people with disabilities.

Ritchey said it’s challenging to convince people that tax dollars are not wasted when they go toward programs designed to help people with disabilities well into adulthood, she said.

“I think everyone can understand children with disabilities, but a lot of folks need lifelong support and assistance. As people get older, it becomes a lot more challenging to convince people that they should pay tax dollars for that,” Ritchey said.

“It’s really hard to convince people that those folks need support and not to see them as someone who is shirking responsibilities as an adult.”

Long-term goals

Pam Heavens, executive director for the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living, said one of the nonprofit’s long-term goals is to develop more accessible and affordable housing in Joliet, as well as in other areas of Will and Grundy counties.

She also wants to start working more closely with the city in encouraging more buildings to come into compliance with the ADA. Public transportation remains a key issue in the region, she said. Without improvements, the lack of readily avail-

able transportation will continue to prevent people with disabilities from living with true independence, Heavens said.

She also wants to continue with the core mission of the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living – which is one of more than 20 advocacy nonprofits statewide run for and by people with disabilities.

For Bew, helping society as a whole understand his disability – how it “may seem different, but it’s not a problem,” is a priority for him as he edges closer to graduation at JJC with an associate degree in psychology.

“I was born with this. I know nothing else,” he said.

“If anything, it just makes me more prepared to go out and be in the real world and be the

best person I can be. Since I have a disability, it’s going to be an uphill battle to make sure I can prove myself.”

After a successful internship working with low-income children at the Hartman Recreation Center in Joliet, Bew said he learned he wants a career in social work or as an advocate for children like himself – those growing up with a disability and from a low-income household.

Bew said he hopes to help people, particularly children, fight the smaller, everyday battles.

“I didn’t have the best childhood. And now I want to help people like me,” he said.

“You know, you may not have grown up in the best circumstances, but you do what you can to make it better.”

Joliet park board approves Pilcher Park design plans

What is an automatic standby generator?

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Concept design plans carrying $2.2 million worth of improvements for Pilcher Park were approved Monday night by the Joliet Park District Board.

The plans presented to board members included a redesigned roadway system, improved parking lots and trails and security gates to keep people from illegally dumping trash in the nature preserve.

Although it would cost a bit more up front, board members voted on a plan that converts the main loop near the Nature Center that’s long been susceptible to storm water erosion into a recreational trail.

Doing so would save the district hundreds of thousands of dollars in long-term maintenance repair work and limit vehicle access in the heart of the nature preserve, thereby lessening environmental impacts, according to Rodney Tonelli, president of Ruettiger, Tonelli & Associates, the consultant firm hired to conduct the design work.

“One of the challenges with our roads is that they are subject to significant water flow,” he said. “It’s continually washing out roads … We may be able to minimize costs long-term [by redesigning the park].”

Vehicle access still would be available the roadway along Hickory Creek, Tonelli said.

“I know we have a lot of res-

If we sat here today and said we want to have no more cars in the park, I think there would be a lot of people that would raise objection to that,” Tonelli said. “I think it’s a good compromise that [allows people to drive through] and still lets the rest of the park be accessible on foot or on bike.

It’s a more sensitive way to approach this.”

The plans also converts public access roadways off Gougar Road into private roads for staff and maintenance crew. One Joliet resident, Lynn Gow, raised concern that eliminating that also would eliminate access to the nearby Flowing Well Pavilion.

“Right now, there’s only three pavilions in that whole park, counting that one. And I think we could really use some more pavilions. There’s a lot

of people who use that park,” Gow said. “I don’t want to see us lose a pavilion.”

Park District Executive Director Dominic Egizio said he is open to the idea of placing an additional pavilion elsewhere.

Tonelli said he anticipates an early 2016 completion date if all goes as planned.

Other elements of the plan: • Build a new parking lot north of the Pilcher Park statue • Convert Snake Hill Road into a trail.

• Install automatic security gates to the west off Cass Street and to the east off Gougar Road.

• Convert the public access roadway from Gougar Road into private road for staff and maintenance.

• Convert Hoberg Access Road into a trail and extend that into Upper Pilcher Park Trail.

• Repave parking lot near Pilcher Park Nature Center.

An automatic standby generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away.

Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and it sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

Judge acquits murder suspect

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A judge Monday acquitted a man who had been charged in a 2012 slaying in Joliet.

Daeviontae D. Pruitte, 21, was acquitted in the Aug. 1, 2012, murder of Timothy L. Egner, 54, who was shot to death in the parking lot of Wendy’s, 104 N. Center St., in Joliet.

Egner was waiting in his car to give an employee a ride home when he was shot with two handguns, authorities said. Pruitte was caught the next night carrying one of the pistols used to kill Egner.

Although Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes, who presided over the bench trial, said prosecutors proved the weapon Pruitte was found with was the one used to kill Egner, after deliberating over all the evidence she said couldn’t find he was involved in his murder.

As soon as the verdict was announced, several people in the courtroom cheered and clapped. Policandriotes be-

came angry and had them removed for being disrespectful of others in the courtroom.

“There are people in this courtroom who have suffered,” she said.

Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Mike Fitzgerald declined to comment after the verdict, deferring to the office’s spokesman, Charles Pelkie.

Pelkie said the State’s Attorney’s Office was disappointed by the ruling and that prosecutors provided sufficient evidence for the trial.

“We are compelled to respect the judge’s ruling,” he said.

The night after Egner was killed, authorities said they saw Pruitte disrupting traffic in the middle of Center Street and run away from officers who approached him. A police officer testified Pruitte tossed a handgun to the ground during a foot chase a firearms expert later testified it was one of the guns used to shoot Egner.

Pruitte told detectives he found the gun while walking

near Cagwin and Center Street with a friend. Detective John Ross testified Pruitte was not clear in interviews with him of his whereabouts when Egner was slain.

Prosecutors brought in a witness, Marshaun T. Gaston, 31, to testify that he had a brief conversation with Pruitte while both were Will County jail inmates. Pruitte allegedly said he was in jail for “bustin’ ” or shooting, Gaston said.

Prosecutors said at the closing of the trial Pruitte linked himself to Egner’s murder during phone calls he made from jail inquiring about police searching the car he was seen riding in shortly after the slaying, and if the driver is cooperating with investigators.

Assistant Public Defender Jason Strzelecki argued even though Pruitte asked for information about the investigation, it did “not add up to any kind of admission.”

“His concern is completely understandable,” Strzelecki said at the close of testimony in the case on July 20.

Eagle Scout Project improves Joliet park

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – People will have an easier time getting through Garnsey Park in Joliet thanks to Boy Scout Kevin Doom.

Doom, along with many family members and friends, have built a crushed limestone pathway from a parking lot through the park and to the St. Joseph’s Park baseball field as his Eagle Scout project.

“For years, people would walk on the grass, and it would be hard for people with walkers, wheelchairs or strollers,” Doom said Friday afternoon while working on the project with several others. “This path will definitely make it a lot easier and a lot more accessible.”

The last layer of gravel is set to be added Tuesday morning.

Doom, 17, is a member of

Bob Okon – bokon@shawmedia.com

Kevin Doom of Joliet hammers a spike held by his brother, Kyle, on Friday while working on the limestone pathway he and others built at Garnsey Park in Joliet for Doom’s Eagle Scout project.

Looking on are friend Matt Giaudrone (left) and neighbor Paul Hicks.

Boy Scout Troop 18 of Joliet. He graduated from Joliet Catholic Academy in the spring and is headed for Northern Illinois

University to study meteorology.

He’s been in Scouting for 12 years and said, “It teaches you

a lot of great values and valuable skills you just don’t learn in everyday life.”

Scouting, however, did not

teach Doom how to build the 300-foot-long pathway.

He had many helpers, including brother Kyle Doom and neighbor Paul Hicks.

“He’s a good kid,” Hicks said. “I’ve known him since he was riding a tricycle.”

The Joliet Park District, which owns the park, supplied the limestone.

Doom also credited his dad, who “always has been pretty handy.” He is the son of Todd and Peggy Doom of Joliet.

“My sister [Emily] really helped me a lot,” he added.

“She’s an architect.”

He already was familiar with Garnsey Park and neighboring St. Joseph’s Park. But Doom said the idea for the project came from fellow Scout, Dan Kelly.

“I thought it was a great idea and would help out the community,” Doom said.

Joliet high schools expand student technology initiative

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet high school officials will equip students with 3,800 laptops as part of their initiative to give all students computers they can use at school and home.

Since the 2012-13 school year, Joliet Township High School District 204 leaders have implemented the 1:1 Computing Initiative to distribute laptops to all freshman students. Last week, JTHS board members

approved a lease agreement to finance 3,8000 student laptops for freshman and sophomore students.

“More and more of our environment is moving online where [students] have access to information they need,” JTHS IT Services Director Karen Harkin said.

She said the 1:1 program has provided many opportunities for students to engage each other in discussion online, as well as learn how to use several software operating systems.

“You hear all kind of great stories,” Harkin said about the program’s impact on students. “We tied it to our character attributes. We’re trying to promote responsibility with them.”

Unlike most school districts with similar programs, JTHS doesn’t stick with just one software operating system. Students take advantage of either Google or Microsoft software.

Although using Microsoft software can be expensive, students benefit by being exposed

to more than one system, Harkin said.

The use of more than one operating system also benefits teachers with a background in Microsoft.

“They can focus on the way they teach and learning the new applications they see fit,” Harkin said.

As part of the 1:1 initiative, JTHS has established help desks at Central and West campuses assisting students with technical issues, school officials said. Students also can

apply to become help desk technicians themselves.

In the past school year, staff and teachers also have worked on putting together “blended learning” program under the 1:1 initiative. With blended learning, students are challenged to become active learners through a combination of face-to-face learning and off-campus online instruction, school officials said.

“It allows students to have more flexibility and ownership in their learning,” Harkin said.

Joliet woman suffered several injuries in Plainfield Road crash JOLIET – The 54-year-old pedestrian struck Wednesday by an unmarked car driven by an on-duty police officer while walking across Plainfield Road in Joliet suffered several injuries, according to authorities.

The Joliet woman suffered a shattered liver and spleen, broken ribs on both sides of her chest, broken pelvic bone, broken bones in her left eye, and she needed stitches to her head and face, Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said.

Gregory said police offi-

cials Friday night talked with the pedestrian’s mother, who said her daughter was in stable condition. Authorities did not have an updated condition report as of Monday.

The accident occurred about 11:15 p.m. Wednesday when the woman was crossing Plainfield Road headed east from Clara Avenue.

Gregory said the woman, who was on her way to Bobby’s Tap restaurant, was talking with her mother on a cellphone.

Toxicology reports indicate she was legally intoxicated with a 0.159 blood alcohol content level, Gregory said.

The car that hit her was

being driven by a plainclothes police officer who had been on duty since 5 p.m. Gregory said the officer was driving west and saw the woman at the last second and couldn’t swerve to avoid hitting her.

“The officer was very concerned about her condition,” Gregory said.

Gregory said the woman’s mother indicated the woman had some problems with her vision, which could have prevented her from seeing to the right of her – where the car struck her – without turning her head.

The crash still is under investigation, Gregory said.

LOCKPORT TOWNSHIP – Siegel’s Cottonwood Farm is honoring famous sniper Chris Kyle in its newest corn maze.

The maze carving features a skull design donned by Navy SEAL Team 3, of which Kyle was a part of.

Above the skull are the words “CHRIS KYLE,” and the word “HERO” is on the skull.

Flanking the design from the left and right are the words “AMERICAN” and “SNIPER” in honor of the 2014 movie “American Sniper.” The movie was based off Kyle’s 2012 memoir of the same name.

“The movie came out and it did so well,” said Zach Siegel, a farm manager. “I’ve always been a fan of him.”

Kyle is regarded as the most lethal U.S. military sniper in history. Unofficial counts credit him with 160 kills. Kyle was killed Feb. 2, 2013, by a fellow Marine veteran who he was helping cope with post-traumatic stress disorder.

The movie grossed more than $500 million at the box office.

Around the skull are six crosshairs, one of which targets the name of one of today’s most violent organizations.

“ISIS is in the crosshairs,” Siegel said, adding that his fa-

ther, farm owner Paul Siegel, isn’t scared of repercussions by the leading Islamic militant group fighting in Iraq and Syria.

The group, which calls itself the Islamic State, has made threats to kill Americans, particularly those who publicly stand against it.

“We want to show them that we believe our military will win,” Siegel said.

The farm, located at 17250 Weber Road, carves a new maze every year. Last year was a Chicago Blackhawks theme.

Right now the cornstalks aren’t tall enough, Siegel said.

But the maze is expected to open Sept. 26.

Bobbi Kristina was the only child of Whitney Houston and R&B singer Bobby Brown.

“She is finally at peace in the arms of God. We want to again thank everyone for their tremendous amount of love and support during these last few months,” Kristen Foster, a representative for the Houston family said Sunday.

SEATTLE – True-crime writer Ann Rule, who wrote more than 30 books, including a profile of her former co-worker, serial killer Ted Bundy, has died at age 83.

Rule died at Highline Medical Center at 10:30 p.m.

Sunday, said Scott Thompson, a spokesman for CHI Franciscan Health. Rule’s daughter, Leslie Rule, said on Facebook that her mother had many health issues, including congestive heart failure.

“My mom died peacefully last night,” Leslie Rule wrote. “She got to see all of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.”

Ann Rule’s first book, “The Stranger Beside Me,”

profiled Bundy, whom she got to know while sharing the late shift at a Seattle suicide hotline. She has said she had a contract to write about an unknown serial killer before her co-worker was charged with the crimes.

Rule, who went to work briefly at the Seattle Police Department when she was 21, began writing for magazines like “True Detective” in 1969. A biography on her author website says she has published more than 1,400 articles, mostly on criminal cases.

Rule said she was fascinated by killers’ lives, going back to their childhood to find clues about why they did what they did. But her books focused on victims, and she became an advocate for victims’ rights.

ATLANTA – R&B singer Bobby Brown said Monday that his daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, was “an angel” and that the family must find a way to honor her memory.

Bobbi Kristina, the daughter of singer Whitney Houston, died Sunday in hospice care, six months after she was found face-down in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome. Authorities are investigating her death.

“Krissy was and is an angel,” her father said in a statement. “I am completely numb at this time. My family must find a way to live with her in spirit and honor her memory.

Our loss is unimaginable.”

Bobbi Kristina had been

hospitalized for months in Atlanta – eventually being placed in hospice care – after being found in a manner grimly similar to the way her megastar mother died three years earlier.

A police report earlier this year described the incident as a drowning. In a statement Monday, the Fulton County Medical Examiner’s Office said an autopsy will be needed to evaluate what led to the death of Bobbi Kristina, but the time that has elapsed since the autopsy will complicate the investigation. The medical examiner did not release a timeframe for the autopsy, but said additional lab testing might take several weeks.

“Interpretation of autopsy findings and other information will also be challenging,”

Report: State contacts retirees about going to work if strike

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration has been contacting retired state employees to determine if they’re willing to come back on short-term contracts in case of a workers’ strike, according to a published report.

About two weeks ago, rural Sangamon County resident David Scheina, 65, received a call asking about the possibility of working in the interim if there’s a strike, the State Journal Register reported.

“I was somewhat appalled by it,” he said of the message. “I feel it was wrong, an employee on state time trying to line up retirees to cross a potential picket line that I didn’t see being suggested. I thought it wasn’t bargaining in good faith.”

Similar calls have been made to other retirees over the past several weeks, as Rauner’s administration and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 have been negotiating a new labor agreement, according to the newspaper.

Renae Simpson of West Chicago places a flier with information about missing teen Emily Czajkowski on a car Monday near apartments along 15th Street in St. Charles. The 14-year-old has been missing since Wednesday, when she skipped a dance class. Police departments and scores of residents Monday continued efforts to find a Campton Hills teen. Czajkowski last was spotted between 7 and 8 p.m.

Wednesday in the area of Main and 14th streets in St. Charles after walking away from the Pottawatomie Community Center, where she was dropped off at 6:35 p.m. that day for a dance class, said police, who are treating the disappearance as a missing persons case.

and want to stress that our motivation to exit from this facility is unrelated to labor costs or our relationship with the UAW,” Hiroshi Harunari, executive vice president in charge of overseas operations for Mitsubishi, said.

“Our partnership over the years has been both respectful and mutually beneficial.”

Production at the plant, which employs about 1,200 people, has fallen to 64,000 vehicles from more than 200,000 in 2002. The contract with UAW members expires next month.

U of Illinois pays PR firm $550,000 for branding contract

URBANA – The University of Illinois is paying the public relations firm Edelman more than a half-million dollars to develop a campus branding plan and

re-examine the school’s public affairs structure.

The University of Illinois Foundation, which is in charge of fundraising, is using private money to foot the bill for the $550,000 Edelman branding contract, The News-Gazette reports reported. The firm was hired in April as the university prepares for a major fund drive set to begin in 2017.

Edelman also was brought in to help with “crisis communications” after the school faced controversy last summer with the Steven Salaita case and about six weeks this spring with coaching abuse allegations.

But the fact that the University of Illinois is hiring an outside consultant when it has a large public affairs operation has prompted concerns from at least one faculty senator.

Illinois hosted 109.4M visitors in 2014, up 3.5 percent

CHICAGO – Illinois tourism officials said the state saw a 3.5 percent increase in visitors during 2014.

The Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity announced the numbers Monday as it starts a four-day statewide tour with stops in Marion, Effingham, Quincy, Springfield, Peoria, Champaign, Rockford and the Chicago suburbs.

The agency said there were 109.4 million visitors to Illinois during 2014. Those visitors generated $2.7 billion in sales taxes for the state, an increase of $133.8 million in one year. State officials attribute 306,000 Illinois jobs to tourism.

FAIRDALE – A northern Illinois podiatrist has donated dozens and dozens of pairs of shoes to help the victims of an April tornado in the town of Fairdale.

The April 9 tornado killed two women and caused $7.9 million in damage to dozens of properties in the unincorporated community of about 150 people.

Katherine Bailey, who has podiatry offices in Oregon and Rochelle, donated the shoes and insoles, which can cost up to $150 combined, The DeKalb Daily Chronicle reported. They were distributed last week at the nearby Kirkland Fire Department during a Fairdale community meeting.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS House, Senate clash over Breaux, 21, were shot and killed road bill ahead of deadline last Thursday while watching WASHINGTON – House Republicans rebuffed their Senate counterparts Monday over must-pass highway legislation, setting the two chambers on a collision course days ahead of a crucial deadline in the midst of the summer driving season.

As House members convened for their final days of work before an annual August recess, Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy ruled out taking up the Senate’s highway bill, which is headed for completion in the next several days.

The House bill is a five-month extension of current programs while the Senate’s version authorizes $350 billion in transportation programs for six years, although only three of those are paid for.

Authority for federal highway aid payments to states will expire Friday at midnight without action. At the same time, if Congress doesn’t act before then the balance in the federal Highway Trust Fund is forecast to drop below a minimum cushion of $4 billion that’s necessary to keep aid flowing smoothly to states.

U.S., Turkey plan for ‘safe zone’ free of IS in Syria

BEIRUT – Turkey and the United States have agreed on the outlines of a plan to rout the Islamic State group from a strip of Syrian territory along the Turkish border – a plan that opens the possibility of a safe haven for tens of thousands of displaced Syrians but one that also sets up a potential conflict with U.S.-backed Syrian Kurdish forces in the area.

Margaret Hilaire bows her head in prayer during a demonstration Sunday in Katy, Texas, calling for the firing and indictment of Texas State Trooper Brian Encinia, who arrested Sandra Bland of Naperville during a traffic stop days before she was found dead in her cell July 13 in the Waller County Jail.

Texas prosecutor names panel to review Sandra Bland case

By MICHAEL GRACZYK The Associated Press HEMPSTEAD, Texas – A committee of outside attorneys will assist the Texas district attorney investigating the death of Sandra Bland, the black woman who authorities say hanged herself in her jail cell three days after a traffic stop by a white state trooper.

Authorities also released an initial toxicology report for Bland on Monday, a report that two experts who reviewed it for The Associated Press said raises the possibility that Bland may have used marijuana while in custody.

Bland, of Naperville, died in the county jail July 13 after the traffic stop for failing to use a turn signal escalated into a physical confrontation. Authorities have said Bland hanged herself, a finding her family disputes.

“I don’t know if we’ll ever get an answer to all the questions,” said attorney Lewis White of Sugar Land, one

of the committee members.

“But our job is to get answers. There are going to be answers some people don’t like.”

The panel will have full access to all evidence in the case and the authority to subpoena witnesses, according to White and another member of the committee, attorney Darrell Jordan of Houston.

The committee will make recommendations on possible criminal charges to Waller County District Attorney Elton Mathis, White said. If Mathis disagrees with them, the lawyers on the panel will have the authority to present their findings to the grand jury reviewing Bland’s death, he said.

Two other lawyers are expected to be appointed soon.

Both White and Jordan are black, and will be dealing with a case that has received international scrutiny and questions about whether Bland was treated differently because of her race.

At a news conference an-

nouncing the committee, Mathis declined to comment on the toxicology report, saying final findings were still being prepared.

The amount of THC, one of the active components of marijuana, in Bland’s system was 18 micrograms per liter, the report said. That’s more than three times the legal limit for drivers in Colorado and Washington, states that permit the recreational use of marijuana.

Robert Johnson, chief toxicologist at the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office in Fort Worth, Texas, told the AP a level that high suggests Bland “either had access to the drug in jail or she was a consistent user of the drug and her body had accumulated THC to the point that it was slowly releasing it over time.”

But, Johnson added, “I have never seen a report in the literature or from any other source of residual THC that high three days after someone stops using the drug.”

President Obama calls GOP criticism of Iran deal ‘sad’

By JULIE PACE The Associated Press ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia – President Barack Obama unleashed a blistering and belittling rebuke of Republican White House hopefuls Monday, calling their attack on his landmark nuclear deal with Iran “ridiculous if it weren’t so sad.”

Standing before TV cameras during a trip to Africa, Obama suggested the bellicose rhetoric from some GOP candidates was an attempt to divert attention from Donald Trump, the wealthy businessman-turned presidential contender whose popularity is confounding the Republican field.

“Maybe it gets attention, and maybe this is just an effort to push Mr. Trump out of the headlines, but it’s not the kind of leadership that is needed for America right now,” Obama said during a news conference in Ethiopia.

Obama’s comments marked his most direct engagement in the race to succeed him. Until now, he’s largely limited his commentary to policy differ-

ences with Republicans, often sidestepping the names of specific candidates.

But the president’s unsparing criticism Monday – targeting candidates Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz, as well as Trump – underscored his sensitivity to efforts to scuttle the Iran accord, which he hopes will be his signature foreign policy initiative. It also raised the prospect of an aggressive role for Obama in the 2016 presidential campaign.

“In 18 months, I’m turning over the keys,” Obama said. “I want to make sure I’m turning over the keys to somebody who is serious about the serious problems that the country faces and the world faces.”

The president was asked specifically about Huckabee’s assertion that Obama had agreed to a nuclear deal that would “take the Israelis and basically march them to the door of the oven,” a reference to crematoria in Nazi concentration camps during the Holocaust. The Israeli government staunchly opposes the agreement and views an Iranian nu-

clear program as a threat to its existence.

Obama said the comments from Huckabee, a former Arkansas governor, were part of a broader pattern from Republicans. He also singled out Cruz, the Texas senator, for saying the nuclear deal makes Obama – not Iran – the leading state sponsor of terrorism.

“These are leaders in the Republican Party,” Obama said, seeming incredulous. He suggested the GOP was breaking longstanding American tradition of not playing “fast and loose” with facts during serious foreign policy debates.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, the front-runner for the Democratic nomination, said she was “offended personally” by Huckabee’s comments. His remarks should be “repudiated by every person of good faith,” she said during a campaign stop in Iowa Monday.

Huckabee dismissed the criticism, arguing that what was “ridiculous and sad” was that Obama wasn’t taking Iran’s threats to destroy Israel seriously.

City Council looks at options • CITY COUNCIL

Continued from page 2 he said.

Holsten said the as-is option includes better management of the facility, although he also acknowledged that he did not know how Evergreen Terrace was managed now.

The as-is plan does not include the costs of building and operating a community center with daycare, which is required in a court settlement with the federal government. Holsten representatives estimated that such a center could cost $2.5 million to build and maybe $300,000 a year to operate.

O’Dekirk suggested that the city go back to Evergreen Terrace owners and see if they still are interested in a settlement that was offered but never brought to the council for consideration.

That settlement would give the city an oversight committee while leaving Evergreen Terrace in private hands. It also would not require payment of the other side’s legal bills. City officials say Joliet will have to pay $7 million in opposing legal bills if it does

not take ownership.

“I believe now that they’ve lost the case, if they were willing to eat the attorney’s fees when they still had a chance of winning, I don’t know why they wouldn’t be willing to do that now,” O’Dekirk said.

But business leaders said the city should not leave the complex in private ownership.

“We need to improve the safety and quality of life for those who live in Evergreen Terrace, as well as those in neighboring communities,” said Mary Jaworski, president of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

James Roolf, a Joliet banker who was part of the original effort to take control of Evergreen Terrace, said a lot has changed since then, but added, “I would suggest there is a cost to doing nothing. That cost may be more than the millions of dollars you’re talking about spending now.”

The City Council will consider Evergreen Terrace again at its next regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Aug. 4.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Greed trumps residents’ wishes in Shorewood

To the Editor: In a recent 6-1 vote, the Shorewood Board, led by Mayor Rick Chapman, voted to bring Lenny’s Gas Station and Car Wash to Shorewood. Normally, this would not be noteworthy, except for all the controversy that surrounded its approval.

Despite the fact there are acres upon acres of vacant commercial space in Shorewood that do not back up to a residential area, this rezoning request was approved, despite the overwhelming anger and dismay of the residents who would be affected directly by this commercial venture. Hundreds of signatures were obtained, urging the board to turn down this request.

How awful it must have been for village officials to have to endure hours and hours of citizens, some nearly in tears, explain why this was not a good idea for Shorewood. Issues of safety, traffic, water

usage, declining property values and the unwelcome element that a 24-hour service station would attract. Not to mention this petitioner already had filed bankruptcy earlier on the Gas City chain.

And how foolish those of us who gave up their Sunday afternoons to protest this vile endeavor must have looked to the mayor and his gang of merry men (and women) as they smugly knew the vote already was in the bag.

So congratulations, Mayor Chapman – you have made it to the big time. You have shoved this dangerous commercial project down the throats of citizens who believed – foolishly – you were something special in a country of vicious, self-serving politicians. Even in Shorewood, greed trumps the health and well-being of its citizens.

Even in Shorewood, there is no one to hear the voice of the people.

My journey with cerebral palsy and the ADA My name is Ivan Bew, and I am a student at Joliet Junior College. I am excited to share how the Americans with Disability Act has impacted my life.

It is interesting to note I was born in 1990, the same year this act was passed. So in my lifetime, it has developed, assisting me in reaching my fullest potential: physically, academically, socially and financially.

The most important thing I want readers to take away from this article is that every human being, no matter their circumstances or differences, has the potential to be extraordinary and has the ability to make this world a better place. Remember that.

My life with cerebral palsy has not been easy. There is no instant solution to any problem I’ve encountered. Everything about my journey has been learning how to adapt to new situations and has helped

I appreciate it when others accommodate me and get off the elevator to make space for me.

There are many different types of cerebral palsy.

One type, Spastic – the most common type – causes reflexes to be exaggerated and muscle movements stiff. Dyskinetic cerebral palsy is divided into two categories: athetoid cerebral palsy, marked by involuntary, slow, writhing movements; and dystonic cerebral palsy, where trunk movements are more affected than limb muscles, resulting in a twisted posture. Another form of cerebral palsy is ataxic, in which the voluntary muscle movements are not well-coordinated. Last, hypotonic in which the muscle tone in the body is decreased or loose, and movements are

My disability has proven to not be an impairment at my job, but a benefit. At first, the kids were curious about me, but they used that curiosity to get to know me and came to appreciate me. They have to come to understand that individuals with disabilities are capable and an integral part of our society. They listen intently to my instructions, and I easily can keep their attention. Since the children never had encountered someone with my uniqueness, they were naturally more compassionate and helpful to me, which created a better environment for everyone.

I am sure that if I was born before the ADA came into effect, my life would not be as wonderful as it is now.

Kri Wyoo of Schaumburg walks past Erica Jackson after marking her ball’s location Monday during the 21st annual Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open at Mistwood Golf Course.

I’ve definitely improved a lot,” Yuen said. “I always love playing in this tournament because it’s fun playing with the pros, and I always feel like I’m the underdog because I’m so young. It’s a big shock to my family that I’ve improved so much. Over winter break, I took lessons here from John Platt, and we’ve worked on so much.”

Harris, who grew up in

Channahon before moving to Bloomington and later competed at Iowa, is the Redbirds’ assistant coach. She had five birdies and three bogeys in her round and posted scores of 36 and 34 to tie Yuen, who was also in her threesome.

“I enjoyed playing with Jessica since she’s a really good player,” Harris said. “I was just hitting the ball really solid and just focusing on my tempo

and small targets. I got on a little bogey-train and made three in a row, and that kind of fired me up a little bit, and I started playing more aggressive. I had five birdies and just finished really solid.”

Jarochowicz, who plays on the Australian Ladies Professional Golf tour, combined this tournament with a recent trip to a major competition north of the border. She turned in nines of 34 and 37 to tie with two others for fourth place.

“This fit in nicely with my schedule,” Jarochowicz said. “We played the Canadian Women’s PGA last week near Toronto. I don’t have any status other than the Austra-

lian tour, so I come over here during the summertime. I felt really comfortable once we got here, and it’s a really nice golf course. I played in the proam, so I got a better look at the greens.”

Ferrell, a junior at Wisconsin, collected a hole-in-one on the seventh hole. She also posted scores of 34 and 37 for the day.

Former Illinois golfer Schuldt also shot a 71 following nines of 37 and 34. She and Jarochowicz are tied for second among the pros, a stroke back.

There was a three-way tie at even-par 72 between Leighann Cabush of Waukesha, Wisconsin; Danielle Lemek of Doniphan, Nebraska; and Naperville’s Bing Singhsumalee, a recent Waubonsie Valley graduate who was runner-up to Yuen the past two years at state.

The other top local competitors were New Lenox’s Alexis Biedrzycki – a recent Lincoln-Way West graduate who was third in Class AA last year – and Mokena’s Alyssa Gromala, who will be a junior at Providence Catholic. They both finished with rounds of 76.

ROMEOVILLE – There were many interesting stories among the opening-round leaders at the 21st annual Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open on Monday at Mistwood Golf Club.

They included a two-time IHSA Class AA defending champion and Illinois State University’s assistant coach who held a one-stroke lead over a pro on the Australian tour, a current Big Ten athlete who had a hole-in-one and a recent graduate from the same conference.

But the story of the day belonged to a competitor who just turned 15 years old, Rockford’s Madasyn Pettersen, who has been playing the sport since she was 4.

She shot a 4-under-par 68 to give her a two-stroke lead over Bolingbrook’s Jessica Yuen and Normal’s Chelsea Harris for top honors in the 66-player competition.

Katy Jarochowicz of Shellharbour, Australia; Brooke Ferrell of Edgerton, Wisconsin; and Ember Schuldt of Sterling all shot a 1-under 71, while three others were tied at even-par.

Pettersen, a sophomore who placed fourth at last year’s Class AA finals, finished with five birdies and one bogey as she combined nine-hole totals of 33 and 35 to grab the lead following Day 1 of the three-day event.

“It was just an ordinary round, basically,” Pettersen said. “I shot a 68 here two weeks ago, and I had eight birdies, and they played from even further-back tees. I’m blessed to be able to play that well, and I thank God for every time that I do something good.

I hope to go pro someday. I’ve had a lot of success, and I really love the game and being out here.”

Yuen, the Neuqua Valley senior who has claimed backto-back Class AA championships and has committed to Missouri, had three birdies and a bogey to give her a pair of 35s.

PREP FOOTBALL

Borland in spotlight as Bolingbrook refuels

By DICK GOSS

Bolingbrook players cheer as they win the tug of war during the Bolingbrook Linemen Challenge earlier this month.

dgoss@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Bolingbrook will return only three starters for the upcoming football season.

Last year, coach John Ivlow made a splash when he brought in Dan Darlington, the legendary Morris coach, to run the Raiders’ offense.

This time around, Darlington will be the defensive coordinator. There will be a learning process while players get acclimated to Darlington and the coach gets to know a fresh set of names.

But don’t misinterpret any of this. Bolingbrook, as always, will be formidable.

“We went 8-4 last year and were the fifth team in school history to reach the quarterfinals,” Ivlow noted during the Raiders’ recent 32-team 7-on-7, which was held three days after the Bolingbrook Linemen Challenge. “The only disappointing thing about how last year worked out was we wanted it to last a couple weeks longer.

“We have good kids this year, and we have 30 coaches in the programs. We think we will be OK.” H-F knocked out the Raiders, 25-13, and the Vikings went on to finish second in Class 8A. In fact, H-F handed Bolingbrook two of its four losses, with the other two coming against Hinsdale Central in the opener and against the other SouthWest Suburban Blue rival, Lincoln-Way East.

Darlington said while he will be dealing with the opposite side of the ball this fall, it’s still football.

“I’m just starting to learn the names,” he said. “I’ve got to learn some new ones. But you know how it always was at Morris. All of us coached everything. When John [Ivlow] said he wanted me to coach the defense, I said fine.”

Darlington was a linebacker during his playing days, and he was good enough that he started in the Big Ten at Illinois. His prize pupil this season is headed to the Big Ten, as linebacker Tuf Borland – rated one of the Midwest’s top re-

“We’ll be OK in the line.

We have one returner, and four new ones we will have to find.”

Bolingbrook’s Izayah Green-May hits the sled during the Bolingbrook Linemen Challenge. cruits – has announced he will play at Ohio State.

“It’s nice to get the college decision out of the way,” Borland said. “Having coach Darlington coach the defense, it is a little different. But we just have to get acclimated and get the things down that he wants us to do.”

Borland’s dad, Kyle, a starting linebacker at Wisconsin in the early 1980s, was an interested observer at the 7-on-7, where the Raiders were forced to defend some strong passing attacks.

“Tuf has put in a lot of

work,” Kyle Borland said.

“The coaches here do a great job with him, and he loves the game. It will be interesting to see how he fits in at Ohio State.

I know this – he will compete.”

What will be a little different for Borland in his senior season at Bolingbrook is he will be playing alongside many of his classmates for a change.

“Tuf never played with most of these kids because he was always playing up,” his dad said. “But I think he’s enjoying it.”

“These guys out here are hard workers,” Tuf Borland

said. “They were successful on the sophomore level, only lost once last year.”

The Raiders’ only returning starters other than Borland are TJ Lee at defensive end and John Tyler Ivlow at center. But coach Ivlow isn’t losing any sleep.

“We never use youth as an excuse,” he said. “Our job as coaches is to get the kids we have ready to play. The way it is here, it’s the next guy up.”

Ivlow, who will run the offense this season, noted the quarterback position is a battle between Joe Coates, who quarterbacked the sophomores in 2014, and Mike Freeze, a varsity backup last season.

“We have a lot of junior running backs,” he said. “Jeremiah LeBron, Jazonte Howard and D’Angelo Colon look primo. LeBron weighs about

220, and they’re all scatty.

“We’ll be OK in the line. We have one returner, and four new ones we will have to find.”

Elliott English is a senior who did not play last year and figures in the line mix. Collin Wilson is a good-looking sophomore. Jack Eker and Matt Zulfer are among those who have been the most consistent to date.

Ivlow said Kendall Smith and Eddie Sanchez are looking good at receiver.

On defense, the front seven is a group to watch. Lucas Warren, an outstanding wrestler who transferred in from Marmion, and Izayah GreenMay will lend Borland plenty of linebacker support. Demetrius Crisantop, DaShaun Mallory and Dalen Winston are fighting for spots in the line.

Darlington said there are eight defensive backs fighting for playing time, with David Garner and Josiah Purchase two of those who have stepped forward so far.

Borland will command plenty of attention this season, but he will not be a oneman operation. The Raiders’ program is such that, as Ivlow said, it’s the next man up at most positions.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Coaching high school sports while working a fulltime job is very challenging. Some coaches have enough energy to coach two teams.

Call Nick Mraz ambitious. The Lockport math teacher has been coaching three sports for the past two years.

“I love it,” Mraz said. “Yeah, people call me crazy, but I like it.”

During the last two years, Mraz was been the varsity boys volleyball coach, the freshman girls volleyball coach and the assistant varsity girls basketball coach.

The upcoming school year will be a little different from the past two, however. This summer, Mraz was named as Lockport’s varsity girls volleyball coach.

Similar to what he did with the boys, Mraz hopes to turn the girls program around.

“I took over the boys program when I was 24,” Mraz said. “I thanked them for the opportunity and told them I wouldn’t let them down. We doubled our wins, then had 29 last year, which is the most that the school has ever had.

“I think we’re going to be 20-, 25wins plus every year – and if not, it’s a let-down because that’s all I’ve known. I went to Sandburg. All you know is winning. That’s the mentality that I wanted. Fun comes from winning.”

Even though the 26-year-old is young, he has 10 seasons of coaching experience and has proven himself.

Mraz helped lead Lockport to its most successful boys season to date and made the Porters one of the most formidable boys teams in the area.

His coaching method might play a part in the success.

Anyone can see the difference between boys and girls volleyball. Historically, girls volleyball is focused on technique while boys is on power.

Mraz combined both for his boys and it took them far. This fall, he plans to do the same with the girls.

“I have the mindset that guys and girls shouldn’t be different,” Mraz said. “I brought defense and finesse to the guys, and to the girls I’m going to bring power. We’re going to run a quicker offense with the same mentality that we do with the guys. If there’s a set not below the pin, we’re not going fast enough. I’m going to try and be more offensive-driven because there are a lot of teams in the area that are very defensive-based. Let’s be the one who stands out.”

Last season, the girls volleyball team played around libero and twotime Herald-News All-Area first team player Lindsey Visvardis. Even though Visvardis passed well and kept the play alive behind 449 season digs, the Porters had a 14-23 record because they didn’t have someone who could put the ball away consistently.

Incorporating boys aspects of the game to the girls side might be just what Lockport needs to get the program back to where it was before.

“I have high expectations,” Mraz said. “We’re going to be young. We only have four seniors trying out.

We’re going to be all juniors and sophomores, for the most part. I still expect a good season. I don’t expect it to take time. I’m not walking in expecting to lose. It took two years to get a season like that [with the boys]; hopefully, it’ll take one [with the girls]. If not, they’re the same type of team. They’re very young this year. Next year should be a very good

year.”

This year the Porters will be young, but taller with big verticals.

Mraz coached some of the players as freshmen, so he knows they can buy into his new style of play. Once they get the right mentality, Mraz thinks they can compete with anyone in the conference and in the area.

“Coach (Bridget) LaPorte and I both said we were going to change the culture of everything because we love volleyball,” Mraz said. “It happened with the boys. It’s going to happen with the girls to get us back there because we both have that mindset.

“Once the girls get over ‘Yes we can hang with them,’ then we’re going to start hanging with them. My first year last year with the guys, we saw Sandburg, we saw Lincoln-Way East, and we thought we can’t beat them. Once we got over that hump, we took down East this year. ... Once they get that mentality, we will be fine. The problem is how long will it take for them to do that.”

Even though he acknowledges it takes many years to build a program like what Julia Hudson had, he plans to win immediately and have fun every second of the season.

“I’m excited,” Mraz said. “That’s why I coach all three sports. I don’t come across parents that are not supportive or players that aren’t easy to work with. We have a good group of girls. We will win. Regardless of what happens any given night, I’ll enjoy my time.

“I don’t want to wake up at 5:30.

But once I get in the gym, I enjoy being there because we have a good group of girls who are early, ready to work, setting up. I’m excited what kind of changes we can bring. I think it’ll happen sooner than later. A regional is the goal this year.”

‘Be safe, no matter what’

Joliet-area runners and experts offer tips for exercising outside

By JEANNE MILLSAP

With water on one side of the trail and trees or homes on the other, Robyn Bumgarner of Channahon said the fresh air and the sunshine – along with the birds and other wildlife – make her exercise ideal. To help keep safe from potential attackers, Bumgarner posts about her runs on social media only after the run – when she’s home safe – and she never posts her routes.

Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – As more runners and walkers take to neighborhood streets and public trails in the warmer months, it’s important to think ahead of time about safety while exercising outdoors.

Keeping safe should be a priority, according to fitness specialists at Joliet Park District’s Presence Inwood Athletic Club. Many runners take advantage of the club’s indoor track, especially during foul weather, preferring its even surface and controlled climate.

However, Donna Gale, Inwood’s fitness coordinator and race director, said most runners prefer area forest preserves, parks and along residential streets.

“It’s less monotonous than the track,” Gale said.

Staying safe on trail, in town

Robyn Bumgarner of Channahon is one who prefers running outside, especially on the I&M Canal trail, where she feels one with nature.

“I think going outside is very important to a person’s mental health,” Bumgarner said. “It also gives you space to work out the things in your life. It’s far cheaper than therapy.”

Bumgarner began running five years ago when Erika Porento, a neighbor, talked her into it, and she’s been running ever since, sometimes with Porento and other times by herself.

The benefits to her are many: energy to keep up with her two boys and a healthy blood pressure and heart rate.

It also helped her deal with a breast cancer scare.

against traffic.

“You want to see what’s coming at you,” Bumgarner said. “It gives you the opportunity to run out of the way.”

Bumgarner said she’s a fast runner and thinks she could outrun any potential attackers.

“I’d put as much distance between me and that person as I could,” Bumgarner said.

“If I had to fight, I’m not afraid to hurt someone who’s trying to hurt me.”

Think ahead

Kathy Schaefer of Morris walked for years, but when her weight crept up in her mid-40s, her doctor recommended running. Schaefer now runs several miles at a time. She also bikes and said she likes pushing and challenging herself.

Like Bumgarner, Schaefer prefers outside exercise – close to nature and God. “When I run, I de-stress and try to solve the world’s problems,” Schaefer said.

Schaefer said she worries

about safety only if she spots a coyote, but she normally avoids running at night; and if she runs in the early morning, she keeps to well-lit areas and always carries her cellphone.

Know self-defense

“The best prevention is always to be aware of your surroundings,” said Ross Cascio, an instructor at Krav Maga Worldwide, a self-defense business. “You want to have situational awareness.

Avoid places you can’t see around and behind where people can hide and surprise you. Keep your eyes up and your ears open.”

Cascio recommends runners and walkers take a good self-defense class or learn martial arts. His business also has books and YouTube videos that demonstrate certain techniques, including how to defend a bear hug attack, in which an attacker grabs a runner from behind.

“The bear hug attack is a very common attack,” he said.

“The big danger is somebody

picking you up and moving you to a vehicle or to the woods or taking you to the ground.”

Cascio said the first thing to do in this situation is to immediately drop your base.

Bending your legs and dropping the level of your hips makes you dead weight, he said, which makes you more difficult to pick up.

“You cannot let the attacker stay close to you in a bear hug,” Cascio said. “When you do aggressive and continuous side-to-side motions, it makes it harder for your attacker to hold on to you. ... While you’re doing that, strike him as aggressively as possible until you feel you can get away.”

Cascio said have in mind a

“fighting spirit,” so if you’re tired or hurting, you still continue to be aggressive.

“You have to get away and be safe, no matter what,” Cascio said. “If you’re able to keep them from imposing their will on you, you’re improving your chances of surviving that encounter.”

Preventing exercise injury

Lowering the chance of injuries is also important, according to Joliet Park District experts.

Donna Gale said by making running just one part of an overall fitness plan that also includes cross-training, runners can ensure they don’t suffer from overuse injuries.

“Strength training for your legs and core are especially important,” Gale said.

JPD fitness Superintendent Gina Rodriguez added that investing in a running shoe with proper fit also is crucial.

A shoe that works will with your particular gait and stride will lessen the chance of knee and shin injuries, she said.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Redouble an lead to a juicy penalty

CELEBRITY CIPHER

This week, we are looking at redoubles. The most common is by responder after partner opens with one of a suit and the next player makes a takeout double. What does responder’s redouble mean?

First, that he has at least ten highcard points (or a super nine). Second, that he lacks four-card support if partner opened in a major. If partner opened in a minor, responder probably does not have five-card support.

So, this redouble announces that the opening side has the balance of power. Here are the two key points: After a responder’s redouble, either the opening side buys the contract, or the opponents play in something doubled for penalties.

All doubles by the opening side are for penalties and all passes below game are forcing.

In this deal, South had a perfectly normal takeout double, but was killed. West redoubled (yes, with a minimum), then doubled everything thereafter.

Against two diamonds doubled, West led the spade queen. East won with his ace and returned the four, his lowest card being a suit-preference signal for clubs.

West ruffed and shifted to the club seven. East won with his jack and led the spade nine.

South was in an unenviable position. If he discarded a club, East would have just led another spade. But when declarer ruffed, West overruffed and played another club.

South ended up losing one spade, one heart, four diamonds (East scored his diamond six via a trump promotion) and three clubs to go down four, minus 800.

funded by the National Center on Complementary and Alternative Medicine looked at the effectiveness of fresh garlic, dried powdered garlic tablets and aged garlic extract tablets.

It found garlic had no effect on cholesterol levels.

Verdict: For lowering cholesterol, save your money.

For cooking, follow the judgment of your nose and palate.

• FISH OIL. We know that eating fatty fish lowers heart risks for people with heart failure or a previous heart attack. But a 2013 study in The New England Journal of Medicine found that fish oil supplements don’t have the same effect.

They don’t lower heart attack or stroke risk in people at high risk of heart disease. Verdict: Eat fish instead.

The truth is, “natural” treatments like herbs and supplements are not necessarily better, and there can be problems with their manufacture. Of course, conventional drugs can have adverse effects as well. But it’s rare for them to contain dangerous contaminants.

It wouldn’t surprise me if some readers think I emphasize conventional pharmaceuticals too much.

As a doctor, I actually tend to prescribe fewer conventional drugs than many of my colleagues. And I surely don’t believe that the first treatment for a problem should always be a drug.

But I believe that research has led to the development of some drugs that can achieve results that just are not possible with natural remedies. Statins to lower cholesterol are one such example.

ol is high and my doctor wants me to go on a statin.

I’d like to avoid medication. Do any supplements effectively lower cholesterol?

Dear Reader: Statin drugs lower LDL (or “bad”) cholesterol and also reduce inflammation. Together, these effects lower your risk of heart attack.

Various herbs and supplements have been touted for their ability to improve cholesterol levels.

There is one general caveat you should consider. New drugs are tested by the FDA for their safety, effectiveness and purity.

However, almost the opposite is true for herbs and supplements. They are virtually free of testing and manufacturing requirements. And, unfortunately, there have been occasional serious problems with contaminants getting into some supplements during their manufacture.

Here’s what the research shows -- and doesn’t show -- about some of the best-known products: • HAWTHORNE. The leaves, berries and flowers of this plant are made into medicine that has been used to treat cardiovascular diseases. It may decrease the body’s production of cholesterol, and it may help the body excrete bile, a cholesterol-filled fluid that helps with digestion. Verdict: It may help.

• RED YEAST RICE. This Chinese medicine is marketed as a cholesterol-lowering agent. An independent analysis looked at 12 red yeast rice products that claimed to contain 600 milligrams (mg) of the active ingredient. The actual content varied between 0.10 mg and 10.9 mg. Also, one-third of the products were contaminated with a compound that can cause kidney failure. Verdict: It may help, but purity remains a problem.

• GARLIC. Some early studies suggested that garlic might slightly lower cholesterol levels. A study

My daughter now says that when I visit, I must change into freshly washed clothes before entering her house. She’s afraid that the secondhand smoke will harm him.

I’m not unintelligent. I have bought disinfectants to spray on myself, as well as breath strips. I also wash my hands, arms and face before I hold him. Am I unrealistic in thinking she’s asking too much, or should I say something to her and let her know how much she has hurt me?

– Crying Day and Night Dear Crying: I do think you

should talk to your daughter.

What she may be trying to do is encourage you to quit smoking. I doubt that she’s doing it to be hurtful.

Her motivation may be that she knows how unhealthy smoking is and would like you to be around until your grandchild is well into adulthood. The odds of that happening will be higher if you can find a way to give up tobacco. And when you do, consider putting all the money you save – and it will be plenty – into an education fund for your grandson.

• Tuesday, July 28, 2015

Dear Abby: I am a 58-year-old, twice divorced, hard-working, middle-class female. I spend most of my time working and involved with my three adult children.

About a year ago I started dating someone. He is 63, very helpful and claims he’s madly in love with me and appreciates this opportunity for a normal, wholesome life.

Occasionally, I’ll catch him staring at women’s butts. It bothers me a bit, but oh well, he’s a man.

Last week our family went camping. At least a dozen times I saw him position himself so that he could stare at my 40-year-old daughter’s behind. Keep in mind, my daughter dresses VERY conservatively, and this trip was almost all jeans and T-shirts.

As we were packed up and ready to head home, she said she had to relieve herself and headed into the bushes (this is a remote campground).

Instead of my boyfriend looking the other way as we all did, he stared and gawked in her direction obviously trying to sneak a peek!

Abby, I am devastated and disgusted. Please give me your take on this. – Normal
