Residents voice skepticism of plan

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Homeowners who live next to the Forest Preserve District of Will County land are skeptical of the district’s plan to mow land next to private property.

During the district’s operations committee meeting Wednesday, officials told residents from the River Glen subdivision near Shorewood they will mow certain boundaries every two weeks. Officials said the schedule is only pertinent during the growing season in highly residential areas such as Hammel Woods, which abuts River Glen.

The district is in the process of cracking down on neighbors who encroach upon forest preserve property, even if only to mow the grass.

Glen Gornik, who lives in River Glen, said he is worried because the mowing schedule isn’t in writing.

He said he’s concerned about the district falling be-

hind, noting the tall grass attracts animals, such as coyotes, and mosquitoes. In previous years, the boundaries had been cut only twice a year, he said.

“If they don’t cut it, let’s say they don’t get to it, and it goes a couple of weeks, or three or four weeks, what recourse do we have?” Gornik said at the meeting.

“Call us,” Forest Preserve District Director Marcy DeMauro responded.

The district is stepping up its maintenance efforts following a survey this spring of 12 of the district’s 82 preserves. Staff found 214 encroachments on forest preserve land by people living along it. Many were homeowners mowing grass on the border. But others dumped trash. Some built permanent structures, gardens or fences.

Of the 214 encroachment violations discovered by the district earlier this spring, 79 were for mowing on district property. Letters sent in May informed property owners they are illegally using public land and that they must comply with the district’s policies.

The letter also stated resi-

dents must immediately cease mowing, or remove items within 45 days. Otherwise, they’ll face a fine. Deadlines were extended for mowing violations after concerns were raised in June about a proper mowing schedule.

On Wednesday, district officials said they intend to mow a strip of grass between 15 and 30 feet every two weeks along boundaries in areas including Hammel Woods and Lower Rock Run Preserve.

Another River Glen resident, Paula Rohder, said the boundary at her home was mowed once this summer but it was only a small strip of grass.

DeMauro said the district is making a “unique accommodation” by establishing a mowing schedule.

“This is not a typical practice. We’re making a unique accommodation here because we understand that there’s been a historical usage of that property in that way and there’s an expectation there and we have a high density of residents,” she said. “That is not a level of maintenance that we can do throughout our forest preserve system.”

ROMEOVILLE

Aryzta expansion approved

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – An international pizza-making business will expand its Romeoville operations into the old Filotto Farm property on Airport Road with a refrigeration facility after the Village Board approved a final plan Wednesday night.

The facility, at a top height of 97 feet and with more than $100 million invested by private entities, will be both the tallest building in Romeoville and one of the most heavily invested projects in the state, according to village staff.

It will contain a high-tech, automated storage and retrieval system to store food and ingredients. It will complement the existing building off of Chicago Tube Drive and Innovation Drive that cur-

rently makes all Aryzta pizzas in the country.

The plan passed on a 4-0 vote, with trustees Sue Micklevitz and Linda Palmiter absent. The village staff will work with developers on landscaping the building.

“I’m real happy to see that a manufacturing facility here in town is willing to expand,” Trustee Joe Chavez said, adding that he was familiar with the retrieval system and it worked well. “I think it’s a good project. It’s an excellent source of revenue for this municipality.”

The financial impact of the facility could have a very positive effect, Mayor John Noak said.

“The potential – again, it depends on the final assessed evaluation – would be upwards just shy of $1.3 million a year for all taxing bodies

from this single project,” he said, noting that the Valley View School District 365U could receive $800,000 a year from the project.

However, the facility also had its detractors.

Residents of the unincorporated area off Airport Road south of the farm have said that the plan for the facility underwent recent changes that makes it an eyesore and devalues their property.

They had issues with increasing the height of the building to 80 feet with an additional 17-foot attachment for refrigeration equipment.

The changes also allow the facility to have metal paneling instead of pre-cast concrete.

Developers say these changes are necessary for the automated retrieval system, which makes the assembly line process more efficient.

Channahon garage sale veteran offers dos and don’ts of deals

OLIET – Jacki McHale looked at the fabric lying at the end of a Joliet driveway and thought, “Gold mine.”

McHale, a Channahon resident who has been going to garage sales since she was a kid, has learned to find value in the things people want to get rid of. Like fabric, she said.

“Fabric is super highpriced in stores right now,” she said. “If you see it selling for a quarter to a $1, it’s a good deal right there. Just make sure to smell the fabric first.”

McHale grew up in Joliet, buying and selling at garage sales. From furniture to electronics to toys, she revels in the rush of getting a good deal.

“I love it. I don’t know how many I’ve been to in my life,” she said.

While garage sales are havens for inexpensive second-hand items, there’s still an art to it. McHale took The Herald-News through a tour of a garage sale and pointed out the dos and don’ts.

Selling Heidi Cole helped her mother, Linda Burton, set up a garage sale at Burton’s home on Silver Fox Drive in Joliet last weekend.

The sale had some furniture, kids’ toys, electronics and household items like silverware and glasses, including an old desktop computer and a toaster oven.

“She did a good job laying out all the items on blankets,” McHale said about Cole’s set-

“It made sense to put it that way,” Cole said. “It’s easier for me to pack stuff up.”

She priced her mother’s items at what she thought was a fair deal. But Cole also wanted to make some money for a church-related charity back in Texas where she lives.

However, when Cole was in the garage, McHale noticed a dog.

“Don’t ever bring your pet outside,” McHale said. “That’s a red flag for everything – the furniture, clothes and fabric.”

Cole said she will drop the prices for her belongings the

second day, which is a normal practice according to McHale.

Research and buy McHale advises people to do their research before going out to garage sales. If an online ad for a sale promises a lot of furniture, make sure to bring a car that can hold it.

“Don’t be afraid to call ahead,” McHale said. “And when you come, do a sweep of the whole place.”

McHale spotted a Dunkin’ Donuts brand coffee mug in the mix of other mugs and glasses at Cole’s sale.

Working as a barista at Starbucks, she loves all things

related to the brand.

“My dad likes Dunkin’ Donuts and I’m Starbucks,” McHale said. “I’m always looking for unique items you can’t get elsewhere.”

Printed items like the Dunkin’ Donuts mug are unique and enhance the value of the buy. McHale also said it helps to think of what family and friends would like.

Winter coats that usually go from $50 to $100 may end up costing less than $20 at a garage sale.

“You’re going to see things from all seasons,” McHale said. “You don’t want to think of snow in the summer, but

you have to look at it.”

But with clothing, McHale said to make sure to smell for pets or other odors that may never come out.

Many people miss the potential value of ordinary items, McHale said.

“I look at this yarn and some people see crocheting,” she said. “I see multiple uses like tying back things.”

McHale spent $13.75 for three hats, one mug, a suede coat, some fabric, some twine, five kids’ hats, a Superman costume and a generic Jenga game at Cole’s garage sale.

“Great deal, right?” she said.

ComEd: Most should have power Thursday But some may wait 1 more day

Agreement being discussed on Iron Works property

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – ComEd expects to have power restored Thursday for most – but not all – of the customers still waiting for electricity since two waves of storms hit the area late Monday night.

There were 8,524 customers in Will County still without power as of 4:48 p.m. Wednesday, according to the Will County Emergency Management Agency.

Will County Communications Director Anastasia Tuskey said ComEd and the county are warning residents to stay away from power lines if they are down.

“That’s the main thing we’re dealing with is downed power lines,” she said.

ComEd had more than 1,000 contractor crews and crews from nine other states helping to restore power in their system Wednesday. ComEd officials expect power to be restored Thursday in its southern region, which includes Will and Grundy counties, but some smaller isolated outages in the region may continue until Friday.

“Our crews are working as quickly as possible to get our customers’ power restored quickly and safely,” ComEd spokesman John Schoen said.

As of 4 p.m. Wednesday, ComEd had 49,000 customers without power in the southern region. The number is down from 59,000 at 12:30 p.m.

Wednesday and 110,000 at 10 p.m. Tuesday.

The outages were the result of the Monday night storms that hit the area hard with powerful winds, lightning, and even a small tornado that went

Hazard study in works for steel site

JOLIET – The Iron Works Historic Site could soon be enrolled in the state’s environmental remediation program under the assumption there may be hazardous materials there that date back to U.S. Steel’s ownership of the property.

The Forest Preserve District of Will County acquired the 60-acre Joliet property in 1991 with the intent to turn it into a historic site. U.S. Steel had used the site for its steel mill operations, meaning any potential liability issues should fall on the shoulders of U.S. Steel, said Marcy DeMauro, the district’s director.

An environmental study and sequential cleanup was completed back when the district first acquired the land decades ago, DeMauro said.

At the time, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued the district a “no further remediation required” letter, meaning the property

was deemed safe for use.

More recently, however, additional soil sampling of the adjacent U.S. Steel site on Collins Street raised concerns that a ditch located at the north end of the Iron Works site could potentially be contaminated with benzene, a human carcinogen, along with heavy metals or other volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, DeMauro said.

“Because [of the flow of groundwater] … that goes along a ditch that runs through our property, the concern is that there’s the potential for contamination,” DeMauro said. “We don’t know for sure.”

U.S. Steel officials have been in talks with the district for months about enrolling the site in IEPA’s Site Remediation Program, which is voluntary, she said.

Members of the forest preserve board’s operations committee were briefed about the site’s potential enrollment during a meeting Wednesday morning.

Joliet-based attorney Joseph Cernugal said Wednesday he is in talks with the steel company on negotiating an agreement that authorizes

Residents advised that food won’t stay cold for long if power is out

MORRIS – More than 1,000 Grundy County residents entered their second day without power Wednesday after brutal weather swept across Illinois.

Morris was one of the hardest hit by Monday’s storms, which meteorologists at the National Weather Service have now determined were two separate “derecho events” that spawned eight EF-1 tornadoes in the National Weather Service’s Chicago County Warning Area, which includes Illinois and Indiana. No tornadoes have been confirmed in Morris or Grundy County.

According to the weather service, a derecho is a severe, long-lasting wind storm that can produce small tornadoes.

The first of Monday’s derecho events hit the area about 7 p.m.

The second, more destructive storm landed in Morris at 9:48 p.m. Monday, bringing with it 80 mph to 90 mph winds that uprooted trees, snapped power lines and damaged property.

“It was a pretty devastating windstorm,” Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said. “It’s going to take a while to get back. I think we’ll spend three to four weeks just getting all the brush cleaned up.”

Immediately following the storm, about 90 percent of Morris and several surrounding Grundy County communities were without power.

ComEd crews began working on power restoration early Tuesday morning, but on Wednesday afternoon, Morris Fire Protection & Ambulance District Chief Tracey Steffes estimated about 25 percent of Morris was still in the dark.

ComEd reports were much lower, at about 1,000 residents without power Wednesday.

In a news release, ComEd said it would be Thursday night or later before power was fully restored to the community.

Electricity was returned to the Morris Water Treatment Plant and water wells about 3:30 a.m. Wednesday, following serious concerns regarding the

city’s shrinking water supply.

City officials estimated Tuesday morning that Morris had 10 to 12 hours of water left in reserves, with the wells not drawing new water.

Kopczick expected reserve levels to return to normal by Thursday morning, alleviating any need for residents to conserve water.

As power lines were re-energized, the Morris fire department responded to several small electrical fires caused by debris on the lines, including a small roof fire at McDonald’s on Route 47.

“If people see a wire down in their yard, they should call Photos by Heidi Litchfield – hlitchfield@shawmedia.com ComEd to report it, and understand they may not get some- Shaun Sloan from Romeoville works Wednesday with ComEd contractor BBC out of Joplin, Missouri, to one there before power is re- fasten electric poles to a trailer to be taken to locations damaged during Monday night’s storms. stored,” Steffes said. out power who may need meat As river levels have subto cook on the grill can stop in sided, so has the threat of to see what is available.

Park employees petition for union

Second organizing try for workers in maintenance dept.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Maintenance workers for the Plainfield Township Park District have petitioned to unionize through Service Employees International Union Local 73.

The Illinois Labor Relations Board received the petition Wednesday.

SEIU Local 73 Communications Director Adam Rosen said maintenance workers expressed interest in unionizing last week.

“They called us and wanted to discuss the possibility,” Rosen said Wednesday. “The majority signed cards at a Monday meeting and we filed with the labor board early this afternoon.”

Rosen said the park district has an objection period when it can dispute the petition. The union could include 20 maintenance employees.

Maintenance employees previously sought to unionize under the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council

31. But those efforts subsided after the union couldn’t get enough employees to sign up.

That effort also included the controversial firing of maintenance employee Joel Schumaker, who claimed he was disciplined and fired for union activities in November.

An Illinois Labor Relations Board found the park district violated state labor laws after the district failed to respond to a lawsuit filed by the union on behalf of Schumaker.

The lawsuit was settled Feb. 13 with the park district paying Schumaker for $8,960 in wages lost from his firing.

SEIU Local 73 represents employees from several park districts in the Chicago area, including the Chicago Park District and Hazel Crest Park District.

“We look forward to working with the park district for a contract,” Rosen said.

The petition names the district’s Interim Executive Director Richard Grodsky as the employer representative and Sean McGough from SEIU Local 73 as the labor organization representative.

Park Board President Mary Kay Ludemann said the district is waiting to receive official notice of the petition before commenting.

POLICE REPORTS

John Patsch for Shaw Media

People walk through the Taste of Joliet, held last weekend at Memorial Stadium. Dominic Egizio, executive director of the Joliet Park District, estimated that the annual festival brought in almost 50,000 people in its three days of entertainment.

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Taste of Joliet experienced record crowds on Friday night and Saturday last week, thanks to near-perfect weather and solid musical lineups.

“I think it was the most successful Taste we’ve had in the nine years since it started,” said Dominic Egizio, executive director of the Joliet Park District.

Egizio estimated 15,000 to 20,000 fans turned out June 27 to see rock legend Sammy Hagar.

Saturday’s crowds were even larger, with 20,000 to 25,000 country fans pouring into Joliet Memorial Stadium to see Thompson Square, Brett Eldredge and two other bands.

Sunday’s concert, which was headlined by American English, brought in another

5,000 people.

“We did almost 50,000 for the weekend, which is unbelievable,” Egizio said.

The Taste’s previous single-day attendance record was for country star Hunter Hayes, who drew 18,000 fans in 2013.

Egizio said he was shocked by the huge turnout Saturday.

“I’m not a country fan personally,” Egizio said. “I liked Sammy Hagar but I really enjoyed Thompson Square.”

The weekend went off almost without a hitch.

“There were virtually no problems,” he said. “We had a couple people on Saturday who got sick from the heat, but that was about it.”

Temperatures in the mid80s and high humidity on Saturday convinced the park district to hand out bottled water to country fans who came early to claim spots in the reserved area.

“There were a bunch of girls that got here right when we opened the gates at noon,” Egizio said. “Younger girls, mostly 14- and 15-year-olds, with no water. So we gave them water. It was better to be safe than sorry.”

Egizio said the food vendors appeared to have a good response as well, with at least a couple selling out.

“I was starving on Friday night and told my daughter to get me something to eat,” Egizio said. “She came back with deep-fried Oreos.”

Egizio noted that hard work by volunteers, along with the park district staff and board, was the key reason for event’s success.

“We really have something special with the team we have here,” he said. “Some were here until 2 a.m. and then back at 6 a.m. the next day.”

She said ComEd is giving different updates on when power will return to residents in various sections of the city.

District seeks commitment on cleanup • IRON WORKS Continued from page 4 them to enroll the site in the state’s remediation program, with all responsibility lying with U.S. Steel should any issues arise.

But U.S. Steel’s initial request to enroll the site in the program “doesn’t go far enough,” Cernugal said. Nor does it commit them to potential cleanup obligations, he said.

Cernugal sent the company a letter last week stating the district will only allow U.S. Steel to enroll the site if certain terms and conditions are agreed to.

The district wants U.S. Steel to accept responsibility for all environmental impacts relating to the steel mill operations, in addition to any impacts that have “arisen from the presence, operation and full tenure of U.S. Steel on the site.”

U.S. Steel must also pro-

vide all information, documents and data relating to the site’s enrollment in IEPA’s program.

District officials will need ample advance notice of any work done on the site, a detailed remediation plan, and assurance that the site – once remediation is complete – is returned to the district intact.

“When this is over with, we want to have a preserve which is no less than what we have now,” Cernugal said.

Towboat sinks in Mississippi River with 10K gallons of fuel

Ex-Gov. Ryan says he regrets last Illinois execution

KANKAKEE – Former Gov. George Ryan regrets letting what turned out to be the last execution in Illinois proceed, he prays regularly for six children killed in a fiery crash linked to a state agency he once headed, and he’s done answering questions about the marathon corruption trial that led to his imprisonment.

The 80-year-old spoke in his first interviews since his 2013 release from a federal prison in Terre Haute, Indiana. The interviews with his hometown Kankakee newspaper, The Daily Journal, and the Chicago Sun-Times also coincided with the formal end on Wednesday of the Republican’s supervised release.

“I don’t have to get permission to do anything anymore,” he told The Daily Journal.

Despite his five years behind bars, Ryan said he had few regrets in life.

But one, he said, was his decision in his first year as governor not to intercede and stop the 1999 execution of Andrew Kokoraleis. Soon after, Ryan placed a moratorium on executions and that eventually led Illinois to abolish the death penalty by law in 2011.

Lower kindergarten age among new Illinois laws

SPRINGFIELD – Among several new laws effective in Illinois this week is a requirement that children attend kindergarten at a younger age, a shift that state officials say could mean higher costs for an already underfunded school system.

Most of the new measures that went into effect Tuesday

AP photo

A St. Louis Fire Department boat and a U.S. Coast Guard are seen Tuesday searching for a sunken towboat in the Mississippi River near the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge in St. Louis. It could be weeks before the level and current of the Mississippi subside sufficiently for crews to safely salvage the 70-foot, 140-ton Jim Marko, which inexplicably sank Tuesday with 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel aboard, the Coast Guard said Wednesday. Four crew members were rescued unharmed, the Coast Guard said. A pollution-control team is on standby to deal with any possible seepage of the boat’s cargo. There is a small amount of film visible on the river’s surface near the wreckage, but no evidence as of Wednesday that large amounts of the sunken boat’s fuel has escaped, said a regional Coast Guard spokesman, Lt. Timothy Marriott.

deal with youths and schools.

One requires young adults seeking driver’s licenses to take a training course. Another, prompted by the death of a high school girl during drill team practice, requires students to learn emergency life-saving skills.

Children must now enter kindergarten by the time they are 6 years old. The previous requirement was 7 years old.

The change puts Illinois in line with most other states, according to a news release from Kimberly Lightford, a Maywood Democrat who sponsored the legislation. She pushed for the measure because – though most children already start school before age 7 – those who don’t are falling behind their peers.

Illinois Education Association endorses Quinn

CHICAGO – An influential teacher’s union has endorsed Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn for re-election over Republican Bruce Rauner.

In a statement Wednesday, Illinois Education Association President Cinda Klickna says Quinn is the only candidate who will fight for public schools statewide.

The IEA’s endorsement was widely expected. The group’s political action committee was among a coalition of unions that paid for ads attacking Rauner during the GOP primary.

The group notes Rauner supports school vouchers, which allow students to use public money to attend a private

school. Rauner also has blasted “government union bosses” and is a big supporter of charter schools, which typically are not unionized.

Rockford lawmaker resigns from post

ROCKFORD – An Illinois lawmaker is stepping down from his post.

Chuck Jefferson is a Rockford Democrat who has held office since 2001. He submitted a letter to Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan and chief clerk Timothy Mapes on Tuesday announcing his resignation, effective immediately. The letter, which was obtained by The Associated Press, gave no reason for his departure.

Jefferson’s office didn’t immediately return calls seeking

comment. The 69-year-old is expected to formally announce the move Thursday in downtown Rockford.

Kids free meal program continues at Illinois sites

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois officials are reminding families that a free meal program for children is continuing until August.

The program is designed to provide kids with healthy lunches and breakfasts while school is not in session. State Board of Education officials say they expect to serve 4 million meals at local schools, parks and community centers across Illinois this summer.

The annual federally funded program has about 2,200 sites.

Because of the energy boom in North Dakota, the state has added 100,000 jobs since December 2007 – nearly a 28 percent increase.

32 states trail on jobs

By PAUL WISEMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Five years after the Great Recession officially ended, most states still haven’t regained all the jobs they lost, even though the nation as a whole has.

In May, the overall economy finally recovered all 9 million jobs that vanished in the worst downturn since the 1930s. Another month of solid hiring is expected in the U.S. jobs report for June that will be released Thursday.

Yet 32 states still have fewer jobs than when the recession began in December 2007 – evidence of the unevenness and persistently slow pace of the recovery.

Even though economists declared the recession over in June 2009, Illinois is still down 184,000 jobs from pre-recession levels. New Jersey is down 147,000. Both states were hurt by layoffs at factories. Florida is down 170,000 in the aftermath of its real estate market collapse.

The sluggish job market could weigh on voters in some key states when they go to the

By the numbers The United States in May finally recovered all the jobs lost to the Great Recession. But 32 states still don’t have as many jobs as they did when the recession officially began in December 2007. n The best was North Dakota, with 362,000 jobs in December 2007 and 462,000 jobs in May 2014 – a 27.6 percent increase. n The worst was Nevada, with 1.29 million jobs in December 2007 and 1.22 million jobs in May 2014 – a 6 percent decrease. n Illinois came in at seventh worst, with 6 million jobs in December 2007 and 5.8 million jobs in May 2014 – a 3.1 percent decrease.

Source: U.S. Labor Department polls this fall. A Quinnipiac University poll out Wednesday found that voters named the economy by far the biggest problem facing the United States.

The states where hiring lags the most tend to be those that were hit most painfully by the recession: They lost so many jobs that they’ve struggled to replace them all.

Nevada, which suffered a spectacular real estate bust and four years of double-digit unemployment – has fared worst. It has 6 percent fewer jobs than it did in December 2007. Arizona, also slammed by the housing collapse, is 5 percent short.

By contrast, an energy

boom has lifted several states to the top in job creation.

“North Dakota is the No. 1 example,” said Dan White, senior economist at Moody’s Analytics. “It’s like its own little gold rush.”

North Dakota has added 100,000 jobs since December 2007 – an increase of nearly 28 percent, by far the nation’s highest. The state has benefited from technology that allows energy companies to extract oil from shale, sedimentary rock formed by the compression of clay and silt.

Not surprisingly, the capital of North Dakota, Bismarck, has the lowest unemployment rate of any American city: 2.2 percent as of May.

lawmaker, Rep. Edith Green, D-Ore., agreed, saying it was more important to secure rights for blacks first.

“For every discrimination that has been made against a woman in this country, there has been ten times as much discrimination against the Negro,” Green said.

Rep. Martha Griffiths, D-Mich., opposed efforts to take women out. “A vote against this amendment today by a white man is a vote against his wife, or his widow, or his daughter or his sister,” she said.

The House approved the amendment.

by Congress to pass sweeping legislation aimed at ending discrimination.

Freedom Rider John Moody (right) and Dennis Johnson, a 23-year-old University of Michigan student from Chicago, take a picture together Wednesday while riding through Washington to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the Civil Rights Act. from 1945 until 1957, when Congress passed, and President Dwight Eisenhower signed, a law allowing federal prosecutors to seek court injunctions to stop voting rights interference. That law, the Civil Rights Act of 1957, also created the Justice Department’s civil rights section, and the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights.

Sen. Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, then a Democrat, filibustered the bill for 24 hours and 18 minutes, the longest one-man filibuster on record.

That law was followed by the Civil Rights Act of 1960, which introduced penalties for obstructing or attempting to obstruct someone’s attempt to register to vote or actually vote, and for obstructing fed-

eral court orders in school discrimination cases.

Presidential power President John F. Kennedy first suggested the Civil Rights Act of 1964 in a televised speech from the Oval Office.

He said he would ask Congress “to make a commitment it has not fully made in this century to the proposition that race has no place in American life or law.” Kennedy was assassinated before the bill could become law.

Johnson, in addressing a joint session of Congress on Nov. 27, 1963, said “no memorial oration or eulogy could more eloquently honor President Kennedy’s memory” than passing the civil rights bill.

Women too ...

Rep. Howard Smith, D-Va., chairman of the House Rules Committee, advocated adding the word “sex” behind “religion” to the original bill to address gender equality. “I do not think it can do any harm to this legislation; maybe it can do some good,” he said.

Some suggested that Smith, a segregationist Democrat, was actually attempting to kill the bill; he said his intention was to ensure white women got the same protection.

Segregationists and conservative Democrats supported Smith’s amendment. Northern Republicans – who supported the bill – opposed the amendment out of fear that it could kill the entire bill. One female

Because of the Civil Rights Act, two civil rights activists with very different approaches, Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X, had their first and only face-to-face encounter.

On March 26, 1964, they were both in Washington for the Senate debate on the Civil Rights Act. According to Peter Louis Goldman, author of a book about Malcolm X, the Muslim activist slipped into the back row of a King news conference. When King left by one door, Malcolm X left by another and intercepted him.

“Well, Malcolm, good to see you,” King said.

“Good to see you,” Malcolm X replied.

As they parted, Goldman said, Malcolm X remarked jokingly: “Now you’re going to get investigated.”

In his autobiography, King said of the encounter: “Circumstances didn’t enable me to talk with him for more than a minute.”

WASHINGTON – On July 2, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed into law the Civil Rights Act of 1964, one of the most significant civil rights achievements in U.S. history. This new law made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; It ended school, work and public facility discrimination, and barred unequal application of voter registration requirements.

Five hours after Congress approved the law, Johnson signed it, then turned and handed pens to various key figures in getting the legislation passed, including Attorney General Robert Kennedy. He went on to address the country, saying the law was a challenge for the U.S. to “eliminate the last vestiges of injustice in our beloved country.”

In observing the law’s 50th anniversary Wednesday, President Barack Obama said “few pieces of legislation have defined our national identity as distinctly, or as powerfully.”

“It transformed the concepts of justice, equality, and democracy for generations to come,” Obama said.

Here are four things to know about the Civil Rights Act of 1964:

Palestinians say that Israeli U.S. condemns murder extremists killed 17-year-old The ASSOCIATED PRESS

JERUSALEM – The Palestinians accused Israeli extremists of abducting and killing an Arab teenager and burning his body Wednesday, sparking hours of clashes in east Jerusalem and drawing charges that the youth was murdered to avenge the killings of three kidnapped Israeli teens.

Seeking to calm the explosive situation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged a swift inquiry into the “reprehensible murder” and called on people to respect the rule of law. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said it was clear extremist Jewish settlers were responsible and called on Israel to bring the killers to justice.

“The settlers have killed and burned a little boy. They are well known,” Abbas said, accusing Israel of tolerating settler violence toward Palestinians. “I demand that the Israeli government hold the

The death added to the already heightened tensions caused by the killings of the three Israeli teenagers, whose bodies were discovered Monday just over two weeks after they disappeared in the West Bank. Israel accused Hamas, the Islamic militant group that controls Gaza, of being behind the abductions, which led to the largest ground operation in the West Bank in nearly a decade, with Israel arresting hundreds of Hamas operatives as part of a broad manhunt.

The discovery of the bodies led to a national outpouring of grief, with tens of thousands

of people attending a funeral Tuesday in which the teens were laid to rest side-by-side.

As the burial took place, hundreds of young, right-wing Israelis marched through downtown Jerusalem screaming for revenge.

Hours later, relatives of Mohammed Abu Khdeir said the 17-year-old was forced into a car in a neighborhood of east Jerusalem that quickly sped off. A burned body believed to be his was found shortly afterward in a Jerusalem forest, though police said late Wednesday they were still awaiting forensics tests to make a positive identification.

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is condemning the killing of a Palestinian teenager as a “despicable act” and is calling on the perpetrators to be brought to justice.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest said the United States “condemns in the strongest possible terms” the death of 17-year-old Mohammed Abu Khdeir, which followed the discovery in the West Bank on Monday of the bodies of three abducted Israeli teenagers.

“We hope to swiftly see the guilty parties brought to justice,” Earnest told reporters. “We call on the government of Israel and the Palestinian Authority to take all necessary steps to prevent an atmosphere of revenge and retribution. People who undertake acts of vengeance will only destabilize an already volatile and emotional situation.”

Earnest declined to say whether the U.S. considers

the teen’s death an act of revenge for the three Israeli teens, but said the U.S. doesn’t want to see the situation spiral out of control and lead to further violence.

At the State Department, spokeswoman Jen Psaki said the U.S. is not conducting an independent investigation into the killings in either of the cases, and indicated that Washington is relying on information from Israeli and Palestinian officials.

Israeli authorities urged caution, saying the body still had not been identified and the circumstances of the death remained under investigation.

President Barack Obama’s national security adviser, Susan Rice, said in a series of posts on Twitter that the U.S. is paying close attention to the investigation. And Secretary of State John Kerry issued a statement calling the killing “sickening” and said “there are no words to convey adequately our condolences to the Palestinian people.”

Facebook’s lab rats, a.k.a. users Facebook is an extraordinary tool, but its pitfalls have become increasingly apparent.

Users’ personal information, interests and habits are all fair game for the company, which has little compunction about analyzing the data and selling them to advertisers. Now Facebook has gone beyond capitalism and into creepy. For a week in 2012, it seems, the company manipulated users’ news feeds as part of a psychology experiment to see whether happier or sadder content led users to write happier or sadder posts.

The result? Facebook appears to have altered people’s emotional states without their awareness.

This was wrong on multiple levels.

It was unethical for Facebook to conduct a psychological experiment without users’ informed consent.

And it was especially wrong to do so in a way that played with the emotions of its users. That’s dangerous territory.

Facebook, which employs a secret algorithm to determine what users see on their news feeds, conducted its research by altering the feeds of some 700,000 users, increasing or decreasing the number of “positive” and “negative” messages they saw to study the “emotional contagion” of social networking.

The company, together with two academic researchers, published the results this month in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

In the study, Facebook asserted that users had given informed consent, which is standard protocol in psychological research, when they agreed to the company’s terms of service, which caution that users’ data can be mined for analysis and research. But that’s disingenuous. It’s hard to believe that users who took the time to read Facebook’s 13,000-word service agreements would have understood they were signing on to be lab rats.

In response to the outrage, the Facebook researcher who designed the study apologized for “any anxiety it caused.”

He added that the company will seek to improve its internal review practices for future research. Certainly Facebook needs to revisit its policies to ensure that its users are not unwilling participants in psychological research.

If this research is so valuable, the company should seek true informed consent.

But Facebook also needs to address its cavalier attitude toward its users.

This latest controversy sends a troubling message to users that their personal information, their online activities and now even their feelings are all data points to be analyzed and manipulated according to the whims of a giant corporate machine.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Highway away from the buffer danger zone Beware the old woman offering you love.

That summed up some of the reaction to the Supreme Court’s unanimous ruling that struck down Massachusetts’ buffer-zone law which kept women and men seeking to offer help, counsel and prayer to women entering abortion clinics 35 feet away from the facilities.

“Every news story I’ve seen about Eleanor McCullen, the 77-year-old lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court case, refers to her as a grandmotherly type, cheery and sweet,” one Boston Globe columnist wrote in reaction to the Court’s decision.

But, the writer concluded: “If your grandmother stands – literally – in the way of your right to get health care, your grandmother still needs to be stopped.”

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez McCullen, who has spent almost 14 years devoted to helping women know they have alternatives to abortion, is, indeed, a grandmother with a wonderful smile. McCullen doesn’t stand in the way of anyone’s health care. She offers a choice that a woman may not have known that she had.

But that’s not the way everyone sees it. “They make something that is already an emotional and horrific thing that is hard to choose to do, even harder,” one woman who lives near the Boston clinic told a reporter.

This assertion underscores

a point that Justice Antonin Scalia made in his concurring opinion: “Protecting people from speech they do not want to hear is not a function that the First Amendment allows the government to undertake in the public streets and sidewalks.”

It’s naive to believe that women walk into abortion clinics knowing all their options or that they can choose to protect the life of their unborn children in an environment of support and love.

Such women need to hear the message that McCullen brings.

Counter to the accusation that pro-lifers don’t care about children after they are born, Eleanor becomes a real, supportive presence in these women’s lives.

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.

DEMOCRATS CAN LEARN FROM THE REPUBLICANS To the Editor: Nancy Pelosi recently said, during a speech in Texas, that the recent influx of immigrants was “an opportunity and not a crisis.”

I think we should take this opportunity to put all of these people on buses and take them to the homes of the rich Democrats and their rich friends and supporters so they can have the great opportunity of caring for all of them. You Republicans could sure learn a thing or two about how to build up your voting base from the Democrats.

Having great state parks a good initiative to have Of the many mistakes made by former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, one of the worst was his pitch to close state historic sites and state parks as a way to save money.

More than six years and a new governor later, the Illinois Department of Natural Resources has announced its “State Parks, Great Parks” initiative. It uses money from an increased vehicle registration fee to provide a dedicated amount of money for park upkeep and education.

Each year, an estimated 45 million people visit Illinois’ 324 state-owned natural properties, including nearby sites such as Shabbona Lake State Park, the Silver Springs State Park near Yorkville, and Starved Rock State Park near Utica.

“We were entrusted with new revenues to improve our parks through the passage of the sustainability bill in late 2012, and we are using those funds for the purposes for which they were intended,” IDNR Director Marc Miller said in a statement. “Illinois has wonderful natural beauty, and this early investment is the beginning of making our state parks great parks.”

As described by IDNR, the money will be used to upgrade campground areas, improve trail maintenance and enhance the agency’s website for park users.

Bumping the vehicle registration fee by $2, to $101,

generates nearly $20 million annually for the parks fund.

Approved in 2012, the fee increase was an alternative to charging park user fees.

That was one of the many ideas floated and eventually dropped as the state muddled through a budget-balancing act that has never proved successful.

Still, the State Parks, Great Parks program looks like a great first step that probably deserves a fist bump rather than a standing ovation: The state has a long way to go to bring its parks back to first-rank status, with a huge backlog in needed maintenance and repairs.

The parks need upgrades to roads, roofs for bathrooms and pavilions and more attention given to sewage facilities.

The staff of IDNR takes pride in its stewardship of Illinois’ vast amount of land and State Parks, Great Parks can be an effective way to acknowledge that and to wisely use the money raised from the higher vehicle registration fee.

But we also remind Miller of a statement he made in 2012: “We’re going to have to work to restore (the public’s) faith” in trusting the government to spend dedicated funds appropriately.

We fully expect him to keep his word in implementing State Parks, Great Parks.

The Senior Services Center of Will County has been the provider of the Meals on Wheels program and the congregate or community dining sites since October 1989. The Meals on Wheels program in Romeoville was not disbanded, however the senior community dining site was closed due to lack of participation. There was never any interruption to the delivered of home delivered meals in Romeoville.

In 2013 our agency provided more than 100,000 home delivered meals to 1,274 homebound seniors throughout Will County.

Former Lockport head coach intends to build on success Indians have had in the past

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, July 3, 2014

ROMEOVILLE – Bret Kooi will be the first to admit that he definitely enjoyed himself during the past three football seasons.

Although not serving as a head coach for the first time since 1993, Kooi was excited to assist his brother Bert at Minooka in 2011 and Bret Kooi then his friend, George Czart, at Lincoln-Way North in 2012 and 2013.

But when Lemont’s top spot came open after Eric Michaelsen’s move to become the principal at his alma mater, Kooi threw his name into the mix and was hired in February.

Not surprisingly, Kooi quickly went to work to follow up on the great success Michaelsen and his staff have built at Lemont. The Indians went 106-33 in 12 seasons, which were capped by second-place finishes in Class 6A in 2007 and 2008.

For someone with 20 years of experience as a head coach, including a successful 17-year run at Lockport, Kooi said he has the same enthusiasm as when he joined Matt Senffner’s staff at Providence almost 30 years ago or at his first head coaching job in 1989 at Joliet West.

At last week’s 7-on-7 at Romeoville, Kooi talked briefly about the past, including coaching the Porters from 1994 through 2010, when his teams went 105-69 with back-to-back Class 8A championships in 2002 and 2003.

But he spent more time focusing on the present as well as the future and the exciting possibilities that he sees for Lemont’s program.

“I wouldn’t have gone for this position if it was something that I didn’t think that I wanted to do or I felt that I couldn’t handle,” Kooi said.

Members of the Lemont football team stands during a Passing Jamboree on June 18 hosted by the University of St. Francis at Joliet Memorial Stadium.

“I still feel good enough and I think that I have one more good run in me. This is my 30th year of coaching, but I don’t feel that old, which is a good thing.”

Kooi is quick to praise his new assistant coaches, most who worked under Michaelsen or have ties to the program, as making things run smoothly.

“Compliments to the coaches here for making it such an easy transition,” Kooi said.

“Obviously, Eric did things the right way and they had success, so I’m smart enough to know that I shouldn’t change things. The biggest blessing has been to have a staff of quality, hard-working guys who are already here and they’ve been so receptive to me.

“John Coneset has done a phenomenal job with the strength program, and in the weight room and John Howell helps him with that and also does the defense. Dave La-

More Lemont coverage Read about how Duke recruit and Marist transfer Flynn Nagel is going to help the Indians this season, PAGE 22.

Barbera has also been a part of the staff, and Willie Hayes played here, so you have the alumni coming back and I feel that we have an awesome receivers coach in Brent Gagnon. I’ve been a part of things where guys were all pulling on the rope together and when you have that, good things can happen.”

Although Kooi might not possess all-state quarterbacks like he did at Lockport, he likes how Chris Thompson and Ryan Dawson are progressing. Also, he feels that he has a group of receivers that could match some of those he had with the Porters.

“We’re starting to figure it out,” Kooi said of this year’s offense. “Every time that we come out here to a 7-on-7, we’re getting a little bit better. And every time that both quarterbacks step on the field, they’re getting better.

“I can’t believe that I would ever get to say this, but these guys have a chance to be as good, if not the best group of all of the receivers that I’ve had. And when you’re talking about George Kadlec, Zach Lammers and Adam Decaire, that group was pretty talented.”

Kooi will rely on his defensive coaches to do their thing and with good speed on that side of the ball, he expects positive results from that unit.

“Defensively, that’s all new to me so all that I can do is listen to the other coaches,” Kooi said. “But they talk about our team speed as being very good and obviously I see that.

I see that they don’t have the big D-I lineman like they’ve had, so defensively, we’ll hang our hats on being quick and flying to the ball and causing turnovers, which I think our coaches do a great job of coaching up.”

It should come as no surprise for those who know Kooi to hear that he jumped right in after getting his new job and has been on the go ever since.

“You know me, the second that I got approved by the board, I was in the weight room and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” Kooi said. “Some of the kids looked at me like I was a little crazy since I still get after it in the room. But it’s no different than when I was a 20year old at Providence or a 30year old at Lockport. Now I’m 50 years old, and I’m doing the same thing. I feel that it keeps me young and that it energizes the kids.”

Providence’s Boykin selects Notre Dame Of this and that: • Providence receiver Miles Boykin made it official Wednesday evening when he announced his commitment to Notre Dame on Twitter.

The big and fast receiver, who also is a basketball standout, was said to be favoring the Irish as the process Miles Boykin wound down.

Michigan State reportedly was the other finalist, with Michigan, Missouri, Florida and Illinois among the schools in the hunt for his services.

Boykin has been clocked at 4.41 seconds in the 40-yard dash and weighs 220 pounds.

Some have indicated he can be a tight end or receiver in college. He is that versatile and athletic.

I’m anxious to see Boykin play the first game of his senior season at Providence.

The Celtics tangle with Joliet Catholic on Aug. 29 at Memorial Stadium.

• Received a note the other day from Chet Lines, a Plainfield South assistant

VIEWS Dick Goss baseball coach. He let us know that “former Cougars Jake Roberts and Victor Garcia are tearing it up this summer in the West Coast Baseball League out in the Pacific Northwest.”

Roberts is playing for the Yakima Valley Pippins in Washington and Garcia is playing for the Medford Rogues in Oregon. Each team is leading its division, with the ex-Cougars in leading roles.

The West Coast is considered a premiere summer collegiate league.

Roberts is No. 2 in the league in hitting with a .400 batting average (26 for 65). He has five doubles, one home run and eight RBIs. Garcia is the No. 3-ranked hitter at .372 (16 for 43). Half of his hits are for extra bases as he has three doubles and five homers. He shares the league lead in homers and is second in RBIs with 19.

The reunion for the former Cougars is

forthcoming. Garcia has been playing his college ball at Texas Pan-American.

Roberts was at Cisco College, a junior college in Texas, and is moving on to Texas PanAmerican in the fall.

• Minooka senior Tanner Laczynski, a Shorewood resident, was among 22 players who participated in the USA Hockey Boys’ Select 17 Player Development Camp and Tanner have been Laczynski chosen for the U.S. Under-18 Select Team that will compete at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup on Aug. 11 through 16 in Breclav, Czech Republic, and Piestany, Slovakia. Laczynski is a forward and has committed to play at Ohio State.

• Tim Howard is the darling of USA soccer.

Rightfully so. His recordsetting performance in the 2-1 World Cup elimination loss to Belgium was off the charts.

But as well as Howard played throughout the World

Cup, I just wonder how the USA would have fared – as well, perhaps?

– with backup keeper Brad Guzan, a Brad Guzan Providence graduate, in goal.

• Speaking of Providence grads, Sam Travis’ initial slump in pro baseball apparently is history.

The second-round draft pick of the Boston Red Sox out of Indiana a Sam Travis month ago, Travis struggled to a 5-for-30 start at Lowell in the New York-Penn League. He had no homers or RBIs at that point.

In his past four games through Tuesday, however, he went 9 for 18, a .500 clip, with two homers and six RBIs. That boosted his average to .292. In other words, more Travis-like.

• Also in the New YorkPenn League, right-handed pitcher Matt Borens from Peotone and Eastern Illinois, an 11th-round pick of the

New York Yankees, had a positively forgettable first outing. However, in his second appearance, which was Tuesday, he threw three hitless, scoreless innings, walking nobody and striking out three.

• University of Illinois lefthander Tyler Jay from Lemont has been selected to the 24-man roster of USA Baseball’s Collegiate Tyler Jay National Team. The team is hosting Chinese Taipei at various sites in North Carolina in a fivegame series this week. That will be followed by three games against Japan.

Team USA then will travel to the Netherlands for Honkbal-Haarlem Baseball Week on July 11 through 20.

After that tournament, the U.S. will go to Cuba for a five-game friendship series July 23 through 27.

LEMONT FOOTBALL

Duke recruit, Nagel, provides lift to Kooi’s first Indians team

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – So what’s new with Lemont football?

The answer should be obvious. Highly successful coach Eric Michaelsen stepped aside after last season when he was named the school’s principal.

His successor is Bret Kooi, whose teams won back-to-back Class 8A state championships during his tenure at Lockport.

Nothing can trump that.

Lurking in the background, however, is another item that could help ignite the Indians’ first season under Kooi: Flynn Nagel is back in town.

The Lemont native and allstate caliber receiver, whose brothers Aaron, Brett and Con-

nor played high-level football at Lemont, transferred to Lemont from Marist in January.

He and Nic Weishar, who will be a freshman at Notre Dame, formed one of the state’s most feared pass receiving duos last season.

“It was a financial situation where my dad lost his job,” Nagel said during last month’s University of St. Francis Passing Jamboree at Memorial Stadium, explaining why he transferred. “Moving back to Lemont is not a hard transition.”

That’s because the 5-foot-11, 185-pound Nagel, who has been clocked at 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash, grew up playing football with some of the Indians in the Lemont Hornets’ program.

“I like Lemont a lot,” he said. “I’ll be around my buddies, all the guys I know.”

Playing for Kooi will have its benefits as well.

“He does know the passing game,” said Nagel, who accounted for 1,488 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns last fall for Marist.

Nagel committed to Duke just before the USF 7-on-7. He also had offers from Bowling Green, Cincinnati, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa State, Miami of Ohio, Northern Illinois, Purdue, Wake Forest and Western Michigan.

“I went to visit at Duke and they offered me,” Nagel said.

“They’re the best fit for me.”

Lemont should be a nice fit as well.

SCHAUMBURG – Blair Walters helped put an end to the nonsense.

After the Joliet Slammers’ pitching staff had been battered in recent games, Walters stepped up and threw shutout ball over seven innings Tuesday night in a 5-0 win over Schaumburg.

Wednesday night’s scheduled game was rained out and will be made up as part of a doubleheader in Schaumburg starting at 5 p.m. July 12. This series will conclude Thursday night.

Walters allowed three hits through the first five innings while striking out one and walking none. He recorded nine ground ball outs in that stretch while facing one batter over the minimum. He then

used back-to-back strikeouts to escape a bases-loaded, oneout situation in the sixth Walters finished allowing five hits through seven innings with four strikeouts and one walk. Brett Zawacki finished the game with two shutout innings, extending his string of scoreless relief to 212/3 innings, Max Casper’s two-out RBI single in the third inning put Joliet ahead 1-0.

The Slammers (16-23) made it a 2-0 in the fourth as Chris Epps singled, Russell Moldenhauer dropped down a surprise bunt for a single and after a wild pitch, Grant DeBruin lofted a deep sacrifice fly to right.

Adam Giacalone’s RBI single and Marquis Riley’s RBI groundout made it 4-0 in the sixth.

Cumiskey signs 1-year deal with Blackhawks The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Defenseman Kyle Cumiskey has agreed to a one-year contract with the Blackhawks and is returning to the NHL. The 27-year-old Cumiskey spent the past two years with MODO of the Swedish Hockey League and had four goals and 24 assists last season. He played in 132 games with the Colorado Avalanche from 2006 to 2011, registering nine goals and 26 assists.

The Hawks announced the move Wednesday.

Also on Tuesday, the Hawks agreed to terms with forwards Brad Richards, Peter Regin, Cody Bass and Pierre-Cedric Labrie and goalkeeper Scott Darling on one-year contracts.

Richards had 20 goals and 31 assists in 82 games for the New York Rangers last season, and then had 12 points in the playoffs to help his team make it to the Stanley Cup Final.

The 34-year-old Richards has 276 goals and 591 assists in 982 career games for Tampa Bay, Dallas and New York.

The Rangers bought out his

contract last month. He had six years remaining on the nine-year, $60 million deal he signed in 2011.

“He brings so many things to the table for us,” Hawks general manager Stan Bowman said. “He’s certainly got the experience and his leadership, and I think his character off the ice is something that sometimes gets overlooked as the importance for us, but it’s really the whole package that we’re excited about.”

The Hawks have been looking for a second-line center behind Jonathan Toews for a couple years, and Richards’ résumé makes him a favorite to fill that role.

The move also allows the Hawks to bring along prospect Teuvo Teravainen more slowly.

“When you look at the opportunity to play here, it’s pretty exciting because you know that if you’re playing center on the top two lines you’re playing with a great player or probably two great players, actually,” Richards said. “So it wasn’t hard for me to love Chicago.”

TAKING STEPS TOWARD HEALING Joliet church raises thousands of dollars for JOHA Foundation

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

J

OLIET – During the pre-walk prayer service at One Vision Worship Center in Joliet, its pastor Deon D. Hayes said, “This is a faith walk. Every step you take is for healing.”

As Hayes preached, volunteers passed out ribbons. Participants could add the names of people they knew that had cancer and leave them at the altar. That’s because Hayes believes asking God for healing is as important as treatments and procedures.

So that’s why this church’s first “Cancer Walk, by Faith,” 5K walk/ run held June 28, had three goals: to pray for healing, to raise awareness of cancer’s devastation and to raise money for the Joliet Oncology-Hematology Associates Foundation for cancer patients.

Hayes said the event raised $4,500.

“I know heart disease is No. 1,” Hayes said, “but cancer is up there as one of the diseases attacking people in our community. It’s a disease that has affected members of my family.

I’ve lost close friends to it. I have a member in my church going through it right now. I knew I had to do something.”

At the conclusion of the prayer service, Hayes prayed that God heal everyone affected by cancer: family, friends, co-workers and community members.” He then paused, looked out the crowd of children and adults and added, “OK, let’s go.”

As the walkers filed to the front door, Juan Harris of Joliet said he was walking for a relative, Caroline Jordan, who had died from breast cancer. Harris was planning to have fun, but he also was taking the faith slant seriously.

“I’m hoping for a miracle,” Harris said.

Lisa Bruton of Joliet, walk coordinator, said she was participating in memory of her sister Lavada Wright, who died from breast cancer. If the prayers didn’t cure people, Bruton hoped their donations might ease some financial distress.

“My sister had bill collectors calling her. Her car was repossessed,” Bruton said. “She explained what was

going on, but no one cared. When people are battling cancer and fighting for their lives, this should be the last thing they’re worried about.”

Eric Brooks of Joliet, one of the worship musicians, said a number of his relatives – including his grandmother – have died from cancer. To honor them, as well as support anyone with cancer, Brooks brought his two children – Aria, 6 and Eric, 3 – to participate with him.

“I’m just excited to be here,” Brooks said.

About 300 people left the church at 10 a.m. to walk to One Vision Worship

Center’s former location on Theodore Street and then back to the church, Hayes said. Many of the attendees belong to the church but the event also attracted members from the community.

People paid a $25 registration fee to enter, Hayes said. In return, each person received a T-shirt and a water bottle. Everyone was encouraged to solicit additional donations, he added.

Hayes did not set a monetary goal because the walk was not just about raising money, although he hoped to generate enough to positively impact the JOHA Foundation.

“I want to see people healed,” Hayes said. “I want people associated with anyone of this walk to be healed from cancer.”

As a musician, songwriter and music producer, Hayes said he never saw his career blossom until he realized his true calling was to pastor a church. He began One Vision Worship Center in 2006, which initially

met in a Joliet hotel. The church now meets at 2701 W. Jefferson St., Joliet.

One hundred people attended the first service, Hayes said, and the church has continued to grow from there. About 500 people belong, with about 400 in attendance on Sunday mornings.

Hayes sees One Vision Worship Center as “the hospital of the city.”

Meaning Hayes feels it’s his mission to help the sick, whether the illness is physical, mental, emotional, spiritual or financial.

“I have experienced hurt in my life,” Hayes said, “and only people that have been hurt can help hurting people.”

Illinois Camp at St. Mary Nativity Catholic School JOLIET – From June 2 to 6, St. Mary Nativity Catholic School, 702 N. Broadway St., Joliet, hosted its Illinois Camp. This annual week-long camp is conducted to engage elementary grade students in history and knowledge of our state of Illinois.

Mary Barney and Carol Stiff have instructed this course since its conception in 2009. Both are fulltime teachers at the school.

This year the students attending the camp studied geography (including historic Route 66), researched Illinois presidents, constructed log cabins, celebrated Chicago sports teams, crafted Illinois State symbols charm necklaces, formed a floor puzzle, and presented a summary of information learned as a conclusion to the week.

Each day, the teachers provided a snack that connected to lessons learned that day. A field trip to the Joliet Area Historical Museum was included where the focus was on local history, with an emphasis on natural resources and Native American culture. Famous local people were discovered and discussed at the museum, such as John Houbolt and George Mikan (former alumnus of the school).

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Different strategy in pairs and teams

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Michael Porter, a leading expert on competitive strategy, said, “The essence of strategy is that you must set limits on what you’re trying to accomplish.”

At the bridge table, your strategy may depend upon the form of the game. When you are playing Chicago or in an event scored using international matchpoints, you should concentrate on making or breaking the contract; overtricks are trivial.

But when you are competing in a pair tournament, overtricks can be valuable. You get one matchpoint for every other pair holding your cards that you outscore, whether by 10 or 500 points.

How does that affect strategy?

Look at this deal. South is in four spades after the given auction, in which East made a three-club weak jump overcall and West allowed the unfavorable vulnerability to silence him. First, what should West lead?

At the table, Jerry Masters of Bonita Springs, Florida, led the club king, giving the defenders the option of who would lead to the second trick. Then he shifted to a low heart.

When overtricks are unimportant, South should win with dummy’s ace, draw trumps and drive out the diamond ace to guarantee 10 tricks. At pairs, though, it is tempting to play low from the dummy at trick two. Maybe the finesse will work. And if it does not, the play costs only when East has a singleton diamond, shifts to it at trick three and receives a diamond ruff – exactly as happened at the table.

Yes, South erred, because if Jane Cookson of Bonita Springs (East) had not held the heart king, she would have overtaken the club king with her ace and led a heart (or her singleton) herself.

ADVICE Homophobic brother changes his tune It’s never too late to quit Dear Abby: I am a gay man who has had a difficult, distant relationship with my only brother, “Bill.” He has made many nasty, homophobic remarks, and my partner, “Jon,” has been excluded from many family gatherings. Because Jon wasn’t welcomed, I also did not attend those gatherings.

Bill’s daughter has just announced that she is a lesbian.

His reaction is mystifying. He has embraced her and her partner.

I am happy that my niece has found love and support. I am also jealous that she has a better father than I did a brother. Are my feelings justified? – Sad Sibling In Virginia Dear Sad Sibling: Of course your feelings are justified. You are human, and your skin isn’t made of Teflon. It’s sad that your brother couldn’t have treated you and Jon with more compassion and understanding.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I find it interesting how people’s perspective can radically change when a child of theirs is involved. Now let’s see if your brother’s attitude toward you changes, and how forgiving you and your partner can be if it does.

Dear Abby: I bought a friend a gift recently. Her response? “You should have just given me the money because I really need it.” A few years ago, I was going to buy another friend an expensive pair of shoes and she convinced me not to because she said she could buy 10 pairs from a discount store for the amount I was planning to spend.

I love giving gifts during the holidays and for birthdays, and

enjoy choosing things I think my friends might like or need. I hate giving money! Isn’t part of the gift-giving experience for the giver, too?

I feel it should be my choice to buy whatever I want for someone, and their response should just be, “Thank you.” Am I just being a control freak, or do I have the wrong idea of gift-giving? – Gift Giver In Texas Dear Gift Giver: A thoughtful gift giver selects things the recipient can use and enjoy. A grateful recipient doesn’t look a gift horse in the mouth and say she’d prefer the cash. However, the woman who convinced you not to spend hundreds of dollars on a pair of designer shoes she might not be able to return was, I think, doing both of you a favor.

People with diabetes can lower risk of heart disease Dear Doctor K: When I was diagnosed with diabetes, my doctor said I am now also at increased risk for heart disease. What’s the connection?

Dear Reader: The link between diabetes and cardiovascular disease is stronger than many people realize: About two-thirds of people with diabetes die of heart disease or stroke. I spoke to my colleague Dr. Benjamin Scirica, a cardiologist at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital, about the link between the two conditions.

He explained that diabetes harms the heart in several ways.

As you know, diabetes leads to high levels of blood sugar (glucose). It also triggers an immune response that causes chronic inflammation. Both injure artery walls. This makes arteries more likely to develop atherosclerosis, the buildup of fatty plaques in blood vessel walls that hinders blood flow and increases the risk of heart attack or stroke.

Elevated blood sugar also stiffens artery walls so they don’t expand as well, thereby increasing the risk of blood clots. Diabetes can also cause scar tissue to form in the heart muscle.

The good news is that – as is true in people without diabetes – controlling cardiac risk factors

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff decreases the risk of heart attack and stroke. What does that mean for you?

First, if you smoke, quit.

Next, exercise regularly – ideally in sessions of 45 minutes to an hour, five times a week. Exercise strengthens your cardiovascular system. It also is key to achieving or maintaining a healthy weight, which reduces your risk of heart disease and makes your diabetes easier to control. Regular exercise prompts your cells to remove sugar from the blood, lowering blood sugar levels.

Find a heart-healthy eating plan and stick with it. Eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains. Limit or avoid trans fats and saturated fats, refined grains and sugary drinks.

If you have high cholesterol in addition to diabetes, the two together greatly increase your risk of heart disease. Therefore, it is important to lower your cholesterol as well as your blood sugar.

The most potent cholesterol-lowering medicines are statin drugs.

These drugs not only lower your

blood levels of total cholesterol and LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, they also decrease inflammation inside plaques of atherosclerosis. This lowers your risk of heart attacks and strokes.

Finally, if you have high blood pressure in addition to diabetes, these two together greatly increase your risk of heart disease.

Therefore, it is even more important to control your blood pressure, which may require blood pressure-lowering medication.

While medicines may be necessary to lower your blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure, lifestyle changes are at least as powerful as medicines in achieving these benefits. And even if medicines are necessary, lifestyle changes can help reduce the doses of medicines that you need.

So, work with your doctor to find a combination of diet, exercise and medication to keep your blood sugar levels close to normal while avoiding extremely low blood sugar. This will help reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke or death from heart disease.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 40-year-old parent of two wonderful teens who are not smokers and will probably never smoke.

Instead, my problem is my parents, who are both in their 70s and both totally addicted to tobacco. I love them very much and I keep asking them to quit smoking, but they keep telling me that they are too old to give up their smoking habit.

A neighbor of mine told me that she remembered that you had once printed a letter in the Goshen (IN) News from an elderly woman in her 80s who said that one day she just simply quit smoking cold turkey and never smoked again.

Would you please print that column again? – Mother, Goshen, Ind. Dear Mother: The column appeared in newspapers in January 2007, and I’m reprinting it just for you: Dr. Wallace: Please allow an old lady to share my story with today’s teens. My message is sincere and comes from my heart.

When I was 12 years old, my best friend and I would “borrow” my grandpa’s tobacco pipe, fill it with tobacco out of a can, and go behind our barn and share puffs. When I was 13, I was “sneaking” a few cigarettes from my dad’s cigarette pouch, and I’d share a cigarette with my friend out behind the barn. When I turned 14, my friend and I were addicted to tobacco and we both did anything we could (beg, borrow, steal) to satisfy our tobacco habit.

I quit school when I was 16 and worked in a store. When I got paid, the first thing I did was buy a couple of packs of cigarettes. By age 18, I smoked over two packs of

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace cigarettes daily. I smoked heavily for 66 years.

During the time when I was a nicotine slave I suffered all the negatives that tobacco will cause – shortness of breath, foul tobacco breath, coughing spells, burns in clothes and furniture and a shortness of hard-earned cash.

My husband, who never smoked, died 10 years ago. I’m sure my secondhand smoke contributed to his death.

Unfortunately, my young friend, who joined me in a puff or two, also became a two-pack-a-day smoker. Twenty years ago, she passed away from lung cancer.

I’ve been reading your column for quite some time and I’m well aware that you encourage teens to never start smoking and to end this nasty habit if they do smoke.

Six months ago I decided to have the guts to quit smoking. I threw away two unopened packs and haven’t smoked a cigarette since.

I’m thrilled that I had the courage and willpower to end my nicotine habit.

I admit it was difficult for the first two or three weeks. Dr. Wallace, if I stopped smoking, any addicted smoker could quit smoking! I might have been the most addicted nicotine victim on this planet.

Teens, please take an 81-year-old lady’s advice.

– Granny. Tupelo, Miss.

Dear Granny: Thanks much for your inspiring story. It will have a positive effect on many teens.

‘Snowpiercer’ a must see movie

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now Call it an ominous, violent, slow-moving science fiction art film. Call it a study of class structure and a tale of people trying to claw their way from the bottom to the top. Call it an exciting sci-fi thriller.

Sorry, there’s no easy way to pigeonhole this English-language movie from Korean writer-director Joon-ho Bong, except to say that it’s a true original.

That can also be said of the filmmaker’s previous two releases on American shores: the monster movie “The Host,” and the mystery “Mother.”

His singular vision is on display again in “Snowpiercer,” which tells of the scientific community’s solution to a certain environmental crisis. Disperse the cooling substance CW7 into the atmosphere, and global warming will be fixed. Well, no, there was a problem. The whole world froze, and all life became extinct. Except for a group of lucky survivors, chosen by lottery, then divvied up into different class groups and shunted aboard a specially designed train, one that circles the frozen planet once a year, its passengers subsisting within its self-contained environment.

The rich are up front, living in oldstyle train travel comfort; the poor are in back, getting by in baggage; all sorts of segments of society are in the long stretch of cars in the middle (one is filled with ax-wielding ninjas, another has disco partiers). An armed military tries to keep order. Way up at the very front, according to legend, is the train’s designer, Wilford, who whispered voices call “the divine keeper of the sacred engine.”

This is all taking place 18 years after the world, as the passengers knew it, ended. The poor people in the back, wearing drab clothing and having dirty faces, and only getting to eat a mysterious substance called protein block (don’t worry, it’s not Soylent Green, but it’s not much less disgusting), under the de facto leadership of Curtis (an initially unrecognizable Chris Evans), are moving forward, a car at a time, hoping to find a better life. Revolts, we’re told, have been attempted before but have been quashed by the military. Now, though, there’s a rumor that the soldiers’ guns are empty, having long ago run out of bullets.

The first quarter of the film is uncomfortably claustrophobic, not just because the quarters are so tight, and the lighting so low – the first peek outside a window, upon the frozen wastelands of dead cities and huge, icy mountains, is about a quarter of the way in – but because cameras

“Snowpiercer,” is a film about the scientific community’s solution to a certain environmental crisis. Disperse the cooling substance CW7 into the atmosphere, and global warming will be fixed.

But, instead, the whole world froze, and all life becomes extinct, except for a group of survivors, chosen by lottery, then divvied up into different class groups and shunted aboard a specially designed train. are kept so close to people’s faces, it’s sometimes hard to figure out who they are, what they’re doing, and what’s going on around them.

But it’s easy to understand that the people in back just want to be up front.

They want more of the water that’s available to the well-off people (processed from the plentiful ice outside), they want the comfort of real chairs instead of wooden benches and floor space, they want to be able to eat sushi instead of protein blocks (yes, there’s an aquarium and a sushi bar way up there).

That would all be nice, but what Curtis wants, or at least what others convince him he wants, is to confront the bossman Wilford (Ed Harris) and to take over the engine, which, in this self-contained environment would mean ruling the world.

The problems, though, are plentiful.

The people in charge have a mantra about keeping things in order and are ready to mete out some really dastardly punishment to those not following rules. There’s also the dilemma of people addicted to the hallucinatory drug

Kronole, which is made from industrial waste. The revolutionaries must also deal with Wilford’s vicious right-hand woman Mason (an entirely unrecognizable Tilda Swinton, joyously overacting and adorned with Coke-bottle glasses and buck teeth).

But as the film moves forward, so do the poor, making their way through train cars with accoutrements that get more and more civilized. It’s a simple story, simply told, as if the tale itself was just a train moving along a track.

Toward the end, the script and its characters start to let loose with back stories and secrets that make everything more complicated but never take away from the mood.

The film’s haunting last shot will undoubtedly split viewers and get them into discussions as to whether the ending is upbeat or downbeat.

• “Snowpiercer” is written by Jon-ho Bong and Kelly Masterson and directed

by Joon-ho Bong. The film stars Chris Evans, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt, Ed Harris and Kang-ho Song. It is rated R.
