bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Red Goose Bakery & Cafe, 56 N. Chicago St., has closed its doors.

The bakery, which opened in 2012, shut down Monday, according to Raychel Wesley, who ran the establishment with her husband, John.

“We just didn’t get the support from downtown that we expected,” she said. “The place was right here by the courthouse. The food was good.

You’d think that was the making of a successful business, but for whatever reason, it wasn’t.”

Located across the street from the Will County Courthouse, the restaurant served the breakfast and lunch crowd, offering a variety of bakery and menu selections, including gourmet cupcakes,

cinnamon rolls, sandwiches, salads and wraps. A Sunday “comfort food” dinner menu offered chicken, pork chops, turkey and roast beef with a wide variety of side dishes.

“It was a learning experience, but we came to the conclusion that this isn’t the only thing we can do,” said Raychel Wesley, a baker who also is a lawyer. Her husband also is a carpenter.

The closing is the latest whirl in downtown Joliet’s ongoing game of restaurant roulette.

The Department, 205 N. Chicago St., closed its doors in March after the property management company that owns the building was approached by another business willing to lease the building at a higher rent.

That business is Juliet’s, a casual dining and sports

bar featuring three different themes, which restaurateur Carmen Rossi hopes to open

by October.

Other new downtown eateries include Lockdown Bar & Grill, which will begin renovations at the former Crabigales comedy club at Chicago and Cass streets this fall, and The Blue Taco, 79 N. Chicago St., which opened earlier this spring.

“It’s always sad to see a restaurant close,” said Pam Owens, executive director of Joliet City Center Partnership. “Downtown Joliet perhaps wasn’t the right fit for them. Hopefully whatever follows will have the right formula and be successful.”

Owens said that the property owners already have had two inquiries from restaurants interested in going into the space.

Presence holds resource fair on adolescent disorders THE HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Parents or anyone concerned with a teenager’s mental health can find resources at a presentation by Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center.

The Community Youth Resource Fair will be held from 2 to 5 p.m. Aug. 6 in auditoriums A and B at the medical center, 333 N. Madison St. “Families need to know what behavioral health resources are available to them for their adolescent children,” Cassie Reese, Behavioral Health Services patient care manager, said in a news release about the event.

“We planned this first-time event before the start of school so families can learn about and access services they need before the school year begins,” Reese said.

The Department of Health & Human Services reports one out of five adolescents has a mental health disorder, and more than one in four show symptoms of depression, Presence said in the news release.

Some warning signs of adolescent mental issues: n Angry or irritated disposition n Acting out n Isolating themselves from friends or family n Changes in sleep patterns (too much or too little) n Deteriorating grades in school n Loss of interest in family activities or personal hobbies n Wearing long sleeves in warmer months n Self-medicating with alcohol or other substances.

Suicide is the third-leading cause of death among teenagers.

The fair will provide information on mental health services, education, crisis intervention, substance abuse and more. The Will County Health Department and Community Health Center, Big Brothers/ Big Sisters, the Department of Children and Family Services, the Joliet Police Department, Rosecrance Health Network,

and Timberline Knolls Residential Treatment Center will join Behavioral Health Services for the presentation.

Presence has a nine-bed inpatient unit for patients who require hospitalization, and a day program allows young adults to receive care six hours a day and return home. Patients receive individual and group therapy, medication management, recreational therapy, nutritional assessment and intervention and pastoral counseling.

Reese said the most common issues behavioral health experts see among adolescent patients include self-harm, substance abuse and depression caused by a variety of stress.

“Adolescence is a very stressful time,” Reese said.

“Identifying symptoms early and getting children the help they need soon after symptoms appear will help minimize a behavioral health disorder’s impact on an adolescent’s life.”

For information, call 815725-7133 and ask for Behavioral Health.

QUICK NEWS Rib cook-off on Saturday FRANKFORT – The Amateur Rib Cook-Off will include a public tasting from 1 to 3 p.m.

Saturday. Contestants will cook in the morning at the event in downtown Frankfort in the parking lot at Kansas and Oak streets. Awards will be announced at 3 p.m.

Industrial projects keep coming, along with trucks, in Will County

By BILL WIMBISCUS

bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com When it comes to attracting transportation, distribution and logistics industries, Will County’s success is almost unprecedented.

The county’s total industrial space has grown from 55 million square feet to 140 million square feet over the past 12 years, said John Greuling, chief executive of Will County Center for Economic Development.

Much of that growth is because of developments like BNSF Logistics Park-Chicago in Elwood and the Union Pacific-Joliet Intermodal Terminal in Joliet. And it’s likely to continue: Construction of a 1.7 million-square-foot Michelin distribution center is underway at RidgePort Logistics Center in Wilmington, the area’s newest truck and train transportation facility.

But that success has resulted in increased truck traffic on area roads and interstates.

“Will County is in a transformation right now,” said state Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood. “You used to sit on Route 52 and be stuck behind a tractor and a wagon. Now it’s semis.”

The increasing number of semitrailers rolling through the county have caused problems in towns like Elwood, where the increase in traffic has led to mounting tensions with the village. The mayor of Elwood wrote last week to the acting secretary of the Illinois Department of Transportation to ask for help in dealing with increased truck traffic.

It’s caused others, like the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery and the Route 66 Preservation Committee of Illinois, to publicly express concerns about how the number of trucks affects their respective entities.

And it’s contributed to other problems too, including an increase in bad motor vehicle

Police presence at railroad crossing at Walter Strawn Drive and Route 53 during peak hours.

Traffic reduced to one lane each way is seen just south of the Des Plaines River bridge on Interstate 55 on July 22. crashes involving trucks. Last week, two separate semitrailer collisions on Interstate 55 in Channahon Township left five people dead, one of them a trucker.

No one seems to have an exact handle on how much truck traffic has increased in Will County, though most agree it has been on the rise during the past few years.

“We definitely have seen the truck traffic increase on Route 53, Interstate 55 and Interstate 80,” said Alicia Hanlon, Will County’s senior transportation planner.

The container yard at CenterPoint Intermodal in Elwood is seen July 23.

10,000 trucks per day The two intermodal centers that use the three routes account for nearly 10,000 trucks a day, according to Eric Gilbert, senior vice president of CenterPoint Properties, developer of both projects. About 6,500 semitrailers enter and leave the Elwood facility each day, while another 3,500 enter and leave the Joliet facility daily.

“The industrial park has developed in line with our ear-

ly expectations,” Gilbert said.

“But the intermodal yard, however, has been more successful than anyone predicted back in 2001.”

The yard has become the second-highest volume international container yard in Burlington Northern Sante Fe Railway’s national container terminal system, Gilbert said. Much of the unexpected growth was driven by local ag-

ricultural product exports, he said.

“While this is very good for the Midwest farmer and U.S. exports as a whole, it has drawn many more trucks than originally anticipated,” Gilbert said.

The intermodal center has been a mixed blessing for towns like Elwood, which has received millions of dollars in property taxes and fees from

the development, according to CenterPoint.

The village also has received a lot more truck traffic – 8,000 trucks a day according to its estimates – on Walter Strawn Drive, the connecting road between the intermodal center and Route 53. Village officials said semitrailers crashed the gates at the Walter Strawn Drive railroad crossing 47 times in 2013.

A May 21 ordinance that placed road restrictions at the crossing was rescinded by the village board last week. CenterPoint, Union Pacific and APL Logistics filed a lawsuit last month, contending the barriers violated federal law and that Elwood was illegally interfering with interstate commerce.

“Infrastructure in place today, designed in the ’50s and ’60s, doesn’t meet the present-day demand,” Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes said last week. Hayes noted that large trucks create the “potential for a much more disastrous crash to occur because weight and mass wins every accident.”

Gilbert said CenterPoint believes the current road system is capable of handling traffic load from both centers once they are fully built out. But a Houbolt Road bridge over the Des Plaines River would be helpful.

“The best long-term solution to removing trucks from [Route] 53 would be to build a Houbolt Road Bridge,” Gilbert said. “This would provide direct, shorter and more efficient access from both parks to I-80.”

Interactive fitness trails make debut

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Video, mobile technology and fitness are coming together in Romeoville at the Commonwealth Edison trail near John J. Lukancic Middle School.

Members of the Romeoville village staff, recreation center staff and residents tested out the new QR Code Fit Trail Wednesday in a kickoff event, lunging and arm twirling their way down the pathway.

The Romeoville Department of Parks and Recreation staff had earlier that day finished installing six QR Fit Trail stations along the ComEd trail, aiming to promote fitness in a fun, modern way.

Parks and recreation director Kelly Rajzer said the trail provides a different option for fitness.

“The mayor and board like to promote different types of fitness opportunities for residents,” she said. “It’s another means for our residents and their families to get out on the trail.”

The village contacted the Virginia-based QR F.I.T. Trail, which created the stations to use with smartphone-accessi-

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Ashley Carter, Vicki McWilliams and Sarah Akers use their smartphones Wednesday to test out a QR code on a sign along a running trail in Romeoville. The sign is one of five that are part of a program to help encourage fitness and trail usage in the village. Each sign has a code that will link people to exercise videos using their smart phones. ble fitness videos.

As trailgoers stop at a station, they can scan quick response codes through a QR code scanner application on their phones.

When the code is accepted,

a video starts playing on the phone detailing the exercise and how it helps the body. The station signs states how to install the scanner application on the phone.

The user can choose be-

tween three difficulty levels for each exercise.

Starting at the middle school, every half mile a new station provides new activities. And exercises change every month.

Resident Ashley Carter is a member of the Romeoville Fit 4 Life Fitness Center and goes to many village fitness events.

“I think this is a great idea,” Carter said about the QR Fit Trail. “It’s good for getting in shape.”

Carter said she might use the trails more often with the QR codes.

“A lot of people out there who don’t know how to work out can learn pretty well with this,” she said.

Rajzer said the stations will cost the village about $1,500 per year to maintain. The videos at each station will focus on four key areas of fitness, upper body, lower body, fitness and core strength.

“There are many different exercises per sign,” Rajzer said. “We’re showing residents how to do them. It’s also nice because we can have administrative rights to see which exercises people are doing.”

The village has the ability to get quarterly or monthly reports to see how many people are using the QR codes. If more people start using it, the village may install more stations in the future.

“We’re going to see how it works on this trail,” Rajzer said.

Shorewood Crossroads Fest starts Friday

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – The 38th Annual Crossroads Fest in Shorewood kicks off Friday and will feature more food vendors and a few other changes.

The festival runs through Sunday at Cene’s Four Seasons Park off West Seil Road.

Crossroads Fest starts at 4 p.m. Friday and lasts until midnight. The fest is open Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 1 a.m.

Sunday hours are from noon to 6 p.m.

“It’s going to be huge this year,” Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce President Kim Lamansky said. The chamber of commerce is holding the event with the help of the Village of Shorewood.

A few changes this year includes relocating the family center next to the entertainment beer tent.

“That’s going to be a great fit,” Lamansky said. “Now moms and dads can keep an eye on their children while they have fun, too.”

On Friday, Crossroads Fest

will start with a private park experience for special needs individuals and their families from 1 to 3 p.m. They will have access to the park and carnival rides. Participants must register in advance. They can do so at www.crossroadsfest.com.

The entertainment tent and several other areas of Cene’s Four Seasons Park will host bands, crafts and arts, food and carnival rides.

Festival staff are selling $25 unlimited carnival ride wristbands from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday, 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5

p.m. Sunday.

But the main draws are the cover bands that play each night.

Friday’s lineup starts with Cover Story from 5 to 8 p.m. and Libido Funk Circus from 9 p.m. to midnight. Saturday features Strung Out from 5 to 9 p.m. followed by village fireworks and community favorite ARRA. “We’ve got headliner band ARRA and that’s always big,” Lamansky said. “We’re expecting more than 2,000 people hearing the band Saturday

night.”

A 5K race will kick off Saturday morning events with the free Kids Zone section and a craft and vendor expo.

Sunday is country-themed day with a parade starting at noon on Earl Road and Geneva Street. A car show, bingo and the band Back Country Roads will finish the final leg of the festival.

“This festival is not only for Shorewood people and businesses,” Lamansky said. “We bring in people from the surrounding areas too.”

Shots fired in argument

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police believe the fallout from a relationship led to an 18-year-old shooting at other teenagers Monday night.

Michael C. Antonson, of the 1500 block of Dale Circle in Plainfield, is related to a former girlfriend of one of the victims, according to Joliet Police Lt. Brian Dupuis.

Shortly after 10 p.m., an 18-year-old man and two 17-year-old boys were driving near Reflection Drive and Sahara Court in the Clearwater Springs subdivision, when Antonson and another teen ran up to the vehicle, Dupuis said.

“One 17-year-old got out of the truck and argued with [Antonson] who took out a handgun and fired a shot into the air,” Dupuis said. The other teen ran back to the pickup when Antonson allegedly shot the tire before everyone fled the scene.

Dupuis said Antonson turned himself in Tuesday afternoon after he learned police were looking for him. Antonson was arrested on charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon, defacing the identifying markings of a firearm and unauthorized possession of a firearm.

Dupuis said police seized a handgun during the investigation.

Off-duty deputies now directing traffic at Elwood crossing

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – Two off-duty Will County Sheriff’s deputies are now being stationed at the railroad crossing at Walter Strawn Drive and Route 53 to direct traffic during peak hours.

The presence of deputies is a new development that has been proposed as a solution to ongoing truck traffic issues at the crossing. They have been there since Monday.

Heavy truck traffic near the Joliet and Elwood intermodals on CenterPoint Properties, coupled with the crossing’s close proximity to the national cemetery’s main access point off Route 53, has caused problems for funeralgoers for years. Semitrailers crashed the gates at the crossing nearly 50 times in 2013, according to Elwood officials.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Ken Kaupas said his office

was approached by both CenterPoint Properties, the developer of two intermodal-based industrial parks in Elwood and neighboring Joliet, and Union Pacific, which owns the railroad, about having law enforcement at the crossing.

Union Pacific officials are in talks with his office about who will foot the bill, Kaupas said, but it was unclear Wednesday who ultimately will pay for the weekday traffic detail.

Two officers will be positioned near the crossing between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, but that could change depending on traffic patterns, Kaupas said Wednesday.

The Illinois Commerce Commission, which regulates railways, has been examining the crossing at recent hearings. The next hearing is Aug. 20.

Placing law enforcement at the intersection was first of-

fered up by Union Pacific at an ICC hearing last month.

Elwood village officials had opposed the idea.

The village in May set up barriers to divert truck traffic away from the area, but CenterPoint, Union Pacific and APL Logistics sued the village and filed a restraining order.

Elwood has since repealed the restrictions.

Kaupas said his office is “not taking sides” in the ongoing conflict between the village and CenterPoint Properties.

“From our perspective, it’s a matter of public safety for our fallen soldiers and veterans [going to the cemetery],” Kaupas said. “Our job here isn’t to take sides. It’s to provide safe access to the cemetery.”

Officials with Elwood and CenterPoint representatives could not immediately be reached for comment late Wednesday afternoon.

Thousands of people lined the route of the 19-year-old’s funeral procession to honor him.

MOKENA – A 5K event will be held in honor of Pfc. Aaron Toppen, the American soldier killed June 9 in a friendly fire incident in Afghanistan.

The inaugural “Our Fallen Hero” 5K run/walk is scheduled for Sept. 27 at Willowview Park in Mokena.

At the request of the Toppen family, proceeds from the event will go to the Pat Tillman Foundation, accord- Pfc. Aaron ing to a news Toppen release from event organizers. The nonprofit organization invests in military veterans and their spouses through the creation of academic scholarships.

“It was always our hope that if Aaron had returned back to the U.S. and decided to

take a different path outside the military, that he would have had the opportunity to seek out assistance through these types of programs,” Pamela Toppen, Aaron’s mother, said in the news release.

The family chose the Pat Tillman Foundation because the organization gives veterans opportunity upon returning home that they may not have had otherwise, Pamela Toppen said.

The inaugural “Our Fallen Hero” 5K run/walk will start at 8 a.m. The event will include entertainment, postrace refreshments, a raffle and an awards ceremony.

Part of the event’s route will take participants down Townline Road, which will have an honorary designation of Aaron S. Toppen Memorial Drive in September. Townline Road runs from 187th Street to Francis Road.

ComEd’s gentler response to trees butchered trees, Teiber said.

That started to change in 2000, when ComEd achieved a four-year trimming cycle from trees around its main power lines, said Emily Kramer, manager of Distribution Vegetation Management for ComEd. “We’ve been doing it for many years now, so typically when we go and trim, we’re only trimming what’s grown back,” Kramer said.

Power line contact with trees and bushes remains one of the leading cause of outages, but the utility now focuses on directional and lateral pruning, rather than simply lopping off the top of the tree.

“We’ve learned a lot and aligned our pruning to best industry practices,” Kramer said.

How a tree gets pruned is determined by both its proximity to the power line and its species. Typically the only branches trimmed are those that would interfere with the power line, which can result in trees trimmed only on one side and V-shaped trees.

“Sometimes it looks abnormal, but it’s actually the proper way to trim the tree,” said Kramer, a certified arborist. “We are only trimming the branches where the power lines are. It allows the rest of

the tree to remain in its natural form. You want to make sure the tree has enough leaves remaining so it can create food and stay healthy.”

Since the trees now are trimmed on a regular basis, their appearance stays more or less the same. And residents are now alerted when their trees will be trimmed, Kramer said.

Teiber noted tree trimming complaints have dropped drastically in recent years.

“They don’t go through the neighborhoods cutting down trees like they used to,” Teiber said. “It’s not as unsightly as it was in the past. They still have to clear the wires, but I think ComEd does a good job of educating the public.”

Kramer said ComEd is now proactive both in alerting the public about trimming and educating homeowners about not planting large trees under power lines.

ComEd and the Morton Arboretum offer a planning guide for residents, encouraging the planting of small trees and shrubs under power lines.

Small tree examples include the Ann and star magnolias, red buckeye, eastern redbud, Allegheny serviceberry, cornelian and kousa dogwoods and American hornbeam.

This fall’s trimming on McKinley Avenue and Zurich Road is an older part of town with a lot of larger, older trees, typical of the more timbered areas that ComEd focuses on, Teiber said.

“Mostly they are trimming trees that have been there for years, and the people living there know what’s going on,” Teiber said.

It’s a situation that also

occurs in other parts of town, such as the Cathedral Area and Reedswood, and in neighborhoods where power lines run along easements behind back yards, Teiber said.

The Will County Disabled American Veterans helps fund dental care, health care, and need-based requests for

Utility starts cutting in Joliet neighborhood in August

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – When it comes to trimming trees, ComEd appears to be taking a kinder, gentler approach.

ComEd plans to perform “mid-cycle vegetation management activities” on McKinley Avenue and Zurich Road on Joliet’s southeast side during August, September and October.

Years ago, when the utility’s tree trimming policy was cut first and apologize later, such an announcement might have elicited fear and concern among homeowners with a lot of trees near power lines.

“They used to just top them,” said Jim Teiber, city arborist for Joliet.

But simply lopping off the top part of the tree created a host of other problems.

One was increases in suckers – a vigorous growth in stems from the branch and trunk cuts. Sucker growth eventually would result in even more vegetation contact with power lines, which ComEd says is a key cause of power outages.

The other problem was aesthetics. Topped timber usually looks terrible and the city would be bombarded with homeowner complaints about

ComEd says it trims trees near power lines based on the tree’s proximity to the line and its species. Faster-growing trees are pruned more substantially than slower-growing ones, according to Emily Kramer, manager of Distribution Vegetation Management for ComEd. Despite the odd shapes that sometimes result, the technique ensures that the tree stays healthy by retaining as much of its original form as possible.

John Greuling believes road and bridgework would resolve matters 11 Continued from page 3 Safety concerns

Road improvements Law enforcement aside, Greuling said the real solution is to improve roads and bridges in the region. He noted that the proposed Illiana Expressway, which would be anchored at the new RidgePort Logistics Center in Wilmington, would help relieve pressure on Interstate 55.

“Up to the day of the bad accident, the last I heard there were only three accidents this year.

Going down from 24 to three would have been considered successful up until Monday’s accident, when you basically had someone on the road that shouldn’t have been there.”

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr. D-Elwood

The CED also has lobbied for the interstate to be expanded to three lanes south of Interstate 80, Greuling said, though given the state’s financial condition it’s unlikely that will happen

anytime soon.

Funding also would have to be found for the Houbolt bridge option, Greuling noted.

Transportation concerns were in the forefront at Ridge-

Port. The project’s developers spent $3.5 million improving Lorenzo Road to five lanes from Interstate 55 to the center’s entrance, about a half-mile away, said Pete Gasparini, regional manager of Ledcor Construction.

The main boulevard into the center is four lanes, and could be expanded to six or eight lanes in the future, said Jim Martell, CEO of Ridge Development Corp., the project’s developer.

And while Michelin’s main product is tires for road vehicles, spokesman Tony Fouladpour said the new distribution center will be served primarily by rail.

But traffic concerns extend well beyond just the intermodal sites. Truck traffic on the whole has been on the rise statewide.

Truck traffic on Illinois interstates has increased 8 percent in the past five years, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Trucks traveled 5.89 million miles on state interstates in 2013, compared to 5.42 million miles in 2009, according to IDOT’s annual travel statistic studies.

Yet the highway structure in the county for the most part has remained unchanged.

The Interstate 55 bridge over the Des Plaines River is a typical example. Besides renovations in 1979 and 1997, the 57-year-old bridge is essentially the same structure that was built in 1957.

Last week’s fatalities occurred near the bridge construction zone. Traffic north and south of the bridge has been reduced from two lanes to one lane for the past two summers.

The same area was the site of 100 traffic incidents in 2013, including 24 crashes where someone was hurt and three fatalities.

In 2014, new safety measures, including synced portable billboards that alert commuters about travel times and promotion of Illinois 47 as an alternate route, have helped to drastically reduce accidents in the construction zone, Walsh said.

“Up to the day of the bad accident, the last I heard there were only three accidents this year,” Walsh said. “Going down from 24 to three would have been considered successful up until Monday’s accident, when you basically had someone on the road that shouldn’t have been there.”

Investigators say Francisco Espinal-Quiroz, a truck driver charged in one of the crashes, falsified entries in his logbook to make it appear he was behind the wheel for a shorter period of time than the maximum allowed by federal law.

Dwight man arrested after police find 200 cannabis plants

By CHRISTINA CHAPMAN–VAN YPEREN cchapman@shawmedia.com DWIGHT – More than 200 cannabis plants were discovered in Dwight, police say, leading to the arrest of a 43-year-old Dwight man on charges of manufacturing and delivery of cannabis.

The Joliet Metropolitan Area Narcotic Squad agents, assisted by Grundy County sheriff’s deputies, arrested Charles L. Johnson Jr. of 7375 S. Holm Road, Dwight, on charges of manufacturing and the delivery of cannabis, according to a news release from Sheriff Kevin Callahan’s office.

Johnson is being held in the Grundy County Jail.

The outdoor marijuana grown in rural Grundy County was detected by the Illinois State Police Air Operations Unit, Callahan said Wednesday afternoon. The air unit does periodic flights in search of mari-

juana growth.

Once it was found, the location was put under surveillance by JMANS and confirmed, Callahan said. A search warrant was executed by Grundy County sheriff’s deputies and JMANS, and as a result of the search 206 cannabis plants, three firearms, five pounds of cannabis bagged for sale and U.S. currency were seized.

Johnson’s bond was set in Grundy County Court Wednesday at $100,000 with 10 percent to apply, according to judici. com. According to the court records on judici.com, Johnson indicated to the court he would hire an attorney. His next court appearance is set for 9:30 a.m.

Sept. 4.

“I’m very proud of the work done by the MANS agents, sheriff’s deputies, and the ISP Air Operations Unit. They conducted a thorough investigation which resulted in the arrest of Charles Johnson,” Callahan said in the news release.

MORRIS – The driver involved in the severe single-vehicle accident on Route 6 earlier this month has been released from the hospital.

Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan confirmed Wednesday the driver, an 18-year-old man from Shorewood, was released, but continues to have some medical issues.

Of the four people involved in the accident, two have died and one remains hospitalized.

The front-seat passenger, a 20-year-old man from Minooka, is in fair condition, according to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn where he was taken after the crash. He was trapped and had to be extricated from the vehicle the day of the accident.

The accident that occurred July 20 killed back-seat passengers James Harris III, 22, from Channahon, and Kendall Forth, 16, of Minooka. They

were both ejected from the SUV, which had been traveling east on Route 6 when the driver lost control about 11 p.m. The vehicle left the road and went into the south ditch, where it rolled several times into a neighboring field.

Harris was pronounced dead at the scene. Forth died the next day.

The driver was taken from the accident scene by helicopter to Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove. The driver pulled himself out of the vehicle, Callahan said previously.

The Grundy County Sheriff’s Department is still investigating the incident and so far charges have not been filed.

The witness reported to police the vehicle had previously passed her at a high rate of speed. After passing the witness, the vehicle returned to its lane but veered onto the shoulder and then appeared to over-correct as it tried to get back in its lane, according to the witness report, the sheriff has previously said.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SHARON, Conn. – Robert Drew, a pioneer of the modern documentary who in “Primary” and other movies mastered the intimate, spontaneous style known as cinema verite and schooled a generation of influential directors that included D.A. Pennebaker and Albert Maysles, has died at age 90.

His son Thatcher Drew confirmed he died Wednesday morning at his home in Sharon.

Starting in 1960 with “Primary,” Drew produced and sometimes directed a series of television documentaries that took advantage of such innovations as light, hand-held cameras that recorded both

impossible to shoot in situations where you could really capture reality.”

Drew’s dozens of films included “The Chair,” a 1963 documentary about a death penalty case in Illinois, and “784 Days That Changed America: From Watergate to Resignation,” winner in 1982 of a Peabody award. Many of his movies were edited and co-produced by his wife, Anne Drew, who died in 2012.

While a photographer and editor with Life, Drew formed Drew Associates in 1960 with the goal of applying his magazine experience to films.

Among those joining him were such future directors as Pennebaker (“Don’t Look Back,” “The War Room”), Maysles (who with brother

David made “Gimme Shelter” and “Grey Gardens”) and Richard Leacock (“Happy Mother’s Day”).

“I wondered why documentaries on television were dull,” he told The New York Times in 2013. “I had no doubt we could make a lighter camera, and I started with that premise and started finding people who could do that.”

Their approach, called cinema verite, or direct cinema, also was used in feature films, by the American director John Cassavetes and the French directors Louis Malle and Agnes Varda. And the new style led to fierce and enduring debates about truth in movies, whether a fly-on-thewall approach was any more objective than a narrative

with a point of view worked out in advance.

Frederick Wiseman, the award-winning documentary maker, would call cinema verite “just a pompous French term that has absolutely no meaning.”

“Primary” is widely ranked among the most important political documentaries and in 1990 was entered into the Library of Congress’ National Film Registry for historic works. It follows presidential candidates and fellow Democrats Sen. Hubert Humphrey and Sen. John F. Kennedy as they campaigned in Wisconsin, a neighboring state to Humphrey’s Minnesota, for their party’s nomination, which Kennedy eventually received.

Directors could work more like journalists, following their subjects for hours and days at a time and capturing revealing moments. Little, if any, voiceover was needed.

“Nonfiction filmmakers were afflicted by two problems, one technical, the other spiritual,” Drew once said.

Businessman found guilty of murder seeks new trial

BRIDGEVIEW – A Cook County judge is expected to schedule a hearing on whether a suburban Chicago businessman convicted of killing his wife should get a new trial.

The Southtown Star reported Allan Kustok is set to appear in court Friday.

In March, a jury found the 63-year-old guilty of first-degree murder for the 2010 death of his wife, Anita “Jeanie” Kustok.

Prosecutors accused Allan Kustok of shooting his wife in the head while she slept. Defense attorneys said she committed suicide.

Laura Morask is an attorney for Kustok. She said the defense wants to have more testing done on the gun that killed Anita Kustok. She said it could show the gun was fired by accident.

Kustok is in custody awaiting sentencing. He faces at least 45 years in prison.

Pipe bomb found in downtown Springfield

SPRINGFIELD – Federal agencies are investigating after a pipe bomb was found outside a downtown Springfield restaurant.

A Secretary of State Police bomb squad on Monday evening used a high-powered water cannon to safely disable the 7-inch-long pipe filled with explosives. Springfield Police Deputy Chief Dan Mounce said Tuesday that police have no suspects or motive. The FBI and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives collected samples of soil and debris left after the bomb was dismantled.

Authorities say the bomb had caps on both ends, was about

Illinois Medicaid restricts use of hepatitis drug

CHICAGO – Facing ballooning costs for a $1,000 pill to treat hepatitis C, Illinois’ Medicaid program is putting tight restrictions in place, including requiring patients to meet 25 criteria and get prior approval before the government program will pay for the new drug.

After spending an estimated $16 million this fiscal year on Sovaldi, which holds promise for a cure for the liver-damaging disease, the state agency headed

by Julie Hamos approved the restrictions July 10.

The rules limit the drug to sicker patients and bar it for anyone with a history of drug or alcohol abuse within the past year. Hepatitis C spreads today mostly among drug users sharing needles, although some people

became infected before widespread screening of the blood supply through blood transfusions and transplants.

The restrictions prohibit doctors from using Sovaldi in ways that seem promising in preliminary research but haven’t been approved by federal regulators.

And a “once in a lifetime” rule will give Medicaid patients only one chance at the treatment.

Doctors who have seen Sovaldi wipe out the virus find the rules too restrictive. Dr. Steven Flamm of Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine said the constraints could eliminate all but 30 percent of the Medicaid patients he’d like to treat with Sovaldi.

Like Illinois, most other states are restricting Sovaldi’s use, according to a July 23 earnings call held by the drug’s maker, California-based Gilead Sciences Inc. The company reported second-quarter profits of $3.66 billion, or a net margin of 56 percent.

The Food and Drug Admin-

istration approved Sovaldi in December.

Illinois officials identify man killed by police

PANA – Illinois authorities have identified a man who shot and wounded a police officer before being killed by troopers during an exchange of gunfire.

The Christian County Coroner said 25-year-old Josh Edwards of Pana was killed Tuesday morning at a home just west of the city.

State police said that law enforcers from various agencies responded to the home where someone reported the presence of an armed man.

Police said Edwards shot a Pana officer before fleeing to the home’s roof. Officers negotiated with him for several hours. He allegedly set the roof ablaze before firing at members of the state police’s tactical unit. Those officers returned fire, killing Edwards.

The wounded Pana officer was listed as being in stable condition with injuries not considered

life-threatening Tuesday.

Police search for trucker after fatal I-70 wreck

MARINE – Illinois State Police are searching for a tractor-trailer driver who they say drove off after being involved in an accident that left another motorist dead.

Madison County Coroner Stephen Nonn said 20-year-old Jacob Dey of Brighton died at the scene of the accident shortly before 2 a.m. Wednesday on westbound Interstate 70 near Marine.

Police say Dey apparently lost control of his Chevrolet Impala and hit a tractor-trailer that ultimately left the scene without stopping. Dey’s car ended up stopping sideways on the interstate when it was hit by another westbound tractor-trailer.

The second semi rig and Dey’s car came to rest in a ditch.

Dey’s funeral arrangements are pending with Targhetta & Wooldridge Funeral Home In Brighton.

NATION BRIEFS GOP pushes House toward approving Obama lawsuit WASHINGTON – Republicans pushed a divided House Wednesday toward a lawsuit against President Barack Obama, accusing him of deliberately exceeding the bounds of his constitutional authority. Obama and other Democrats derided the effort as a stunt aimed at tossing political red meat to conservative voters.

Debate over the lawsuit underscored the harshly partisan tone that has dominated the current Congress almost from its start in January 2013.

Republicans said the legal action, focusing on Obama’s implementation of his prized health care overhaul, was designed to prevent a further presidential power grab and his deciding unilaterally how to enforce laws.

They scoffed at Democratic claims that it would be a waste of taxpayers’ money.

Congress cooperates – and fights – as recess nears WASHINGTON – Eager to begin a monthlong break, Congress leavened its customary heavy partisanship Wednesday with a pinch of compromise, advancing legislation to repair the deeply troubled Department of Veterans Affairs and working to clear funds for highway construction at home and missile defense in Israel.

Yet old habits proved unbreakable less than 100 days before elections with control of Congress at stake. House Republi-

cans hastened to authorize an official lawsuit accusing President Barack Obama of failing to enforce the health care law. And gridlock loomed on the administration’s call for billions to cope with a surge in young immigrants pouring into the U.S. illegally from Central America.

On a vote of 420-5, the House overwhelmingly approved a compromise bill to clean up the scandal-soiled VA, where some officials are accused of covering up long delays in patient care.

Ex-IRS official called conservatives ‘crazies’ WASHINGTON – A former IRS official at the center of the agency’s tea party controversy referred to some right-wing Republicans as “crazies” and more in emails released Wednesday.

A key GOP lawmaker said the remarks show that Lois Lerner was biased against conservative groups and targeted them for extra scrutiny.

Lerner headed the IRS division that handles applications for tax-exempt status. In a series of emails with an associate in November 2012, Lerner made two disparaging remarks about some members of the GOP, including one remark that was a profane characterization.

Rep. Dave Camp, who chairs the House Ways and Means Committee, released the emails Wednesday as part of his committee’s investigation.

Terror threats at chemical plants underestimated

By HOPE YEN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The government is underestimating the threat of a chemical attack on America’s densely populated cities and has failed to inspect virtually all of the chemical facilities that it considers particularly vulnerable to terrorists, congressional investigators say.

The yearlong investigation

by Republican staff on the Senate Homeland Security Committee paints a portrait of inspection delays, government errors in risk assessment and industry loopholes in a $595 million terror prevention program passed by Congress in 2006.

Coming a year after a massive explosion at a West, Texas, fertilizer plant, the report points to threats from the release of toxic and flammable chemicals.

Roughly half of the 4,011 high-risk facilities on the Homeland Security Department watch list are in 10 states: California, Texas, Ohio, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York, North Carolina, Florida, Michigan and New Jersey.

Committee investigators have indicated that larger metropolitan regions such as Los Angeles, Chicago, New York and Philadelphia might be more vulnerable to a chemical attack. The report notes that rural accidents like the West, Texas, plant explosion “pale in comparison with the consequences of releasing large quantities of toxic gas into a densely populated city.”

The U.S. effort is “a broken program that is not making us measurably safer against the threat of a terrorist attack,” states the report commissioned by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla.

It said widespread problems have left many of the nation’s riskiest chemical facili-

“Today – eight years later – there is little, if any, evidence to show that the more than half a billion dollars DHS has spent created an effective chemical security regulatory program,” Coburn said.

The report relies in part on internal DHS documents, including a terror program assessment completed late last year that hasn’t been released, and a federal database of higher-risk facilities restricted to the public.

The study was shared with the committee’s Democratic chairman, Sen. Tom Carper of Delaware, who concurred with the main findings.

Acting swiftly to address problems in the program, the Senate committee on Wednesday approved legislation to give the Department of Homeland Security more funding stability to step up its monitoring and set guidelines for chemical facilities to undertake some security measures.

Currently, funding for the program is authorized by Congress from year to year.

The legislation, which now goes to the full Senate, would authorize money for the program over a four-year period.

It would also allow some of the lower-risk chemical facilities in the anti-terror program to self-certify that it had met DHS

guidelines as the department worked to reduce inspection backlogs for those it considered to be at the highest risk of a chemical terrorist attack.

“These facilities, and the chemicals they hold, could pose significant risks to our communities if they were exploited by those who seek to do us harm,” Carper said.

He added that the legislation “should go a long way in making it better and more efficient.”

DHS spokesman S.Y. Lee noted the department has stepped up monitoring efforts, having approved security plans for 750 facilities in the last two years. DHS officials have called on Congress to authorize the program over multiple years so the government and chemical companies can better plan for longer-range security.

“The Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards program is an important part of our nation’s counterterrorism efforts,” Lee said, adding that DHS is committed “to build on the progress it has made.”

The report said that as of June 30, DHS had failed to conduct security compliance inspections on 3,972 chemical facilities, or 99 percent of the 4,011 facilities initially considered at a higher risk for terrorism.

U.S. condemns Probe exposes flaws behind HealthCare.gov shelling of U.N.

By RICARDO ALONSO–ZALDIVAR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Management failures by the Obama administration set the stage for the computer woes that paralyzed the president’s new health care program last fall, nonpartisan investigators said in testimony released Wednesday.

Behind the administration’s repeated assurances that consumers across the land would soon have seamless access to health care, a chaotic procurement process was about to deliver a stumbling start.

After a months-long investigation, the Government Accountability Office found the administration lacked “effective planning or oversight practices” for the develop-

ment of HealthCare.gov, the online portal to coverage for millions of uninsured Americans.

As a result the government incurred “significant cost increases, schedule slips, and delayed functionality,” William Woods, a GAO contracting expert, said in testimony prepared for a hearing Thursday by the House Energy and Commerce Committee.

GAO is the nonpartisan investigative agency of Congress. Its full report is also expected Thursday.

Spokesman Aaron Albright said the administration takes its responsibility for contract oversight seriously and has already started carrying out improvements that go beyond GAO’s recommendations. The congressional investigators recommended a cost control

plan and other changes to establish clear procedures and improve oversight.

Investigators found the administration kept changing the contractors’ marching orders for the HealthCare. gov website, creating widespread confusion and leading to tens of millions of dollars in additional costs. Changes were ordered in seemingly haphazard fashion, including 40 times when government officials did not have the initial authority to incur additional costs.

The report faults the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services – which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services – for ineffective oversight. The Medicare agency, known as CMS, was designated to administer Obama’s health care law.

school in Gaza The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – The White House condemned the shelling Wednesday of a U.N. school in the Gaza Strip that was sheltering Palestinians displaced by the fighting between Israel and Hamas militants in Gaza.

The U.S. didn’t assign responsibility for the shelling, but Gaza officials said Israel struck the school, killing 15 and wounding 90. Israeli’s military said it fired back after soldiers were targeted by mortar rounds launched from the vicinity of the school.

White House spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan also said the U.S. is “extremely concerned” that thousands

of Palestinians aren’t safe in U.N.-designated shelters, despite being told by Israel’s military to leave their homes.

Israel has been warned civilians by phone and leaflet to leave dangerous areas ahead of strikes on militant targets.

At the same time, Meehan said the U.S. condemns those who have been hiding weapons in U.N. facilities. She reiterated the U.S. call for a quick cease-fire to stem the violence.

“All of these actions, and similar ones earlier in the conflict, are inconsistent with the U.N.’s neutrality,” Meehan said. “This violence underscores the need to achieve a cease-fire as soon as possible.”

Small businesses see revenue gains, hire workers

By JOYCE M. ROSENBERG The Associated Press NEW YORK – The long-awaited surge in hiring at small businesses appears to be underway.

Owners who resisted hiring after the recession are taking on workers to keep up with rising demand for products and services. Companies began stepping up their hiring pace in the spring.

Faulkner Hyundai in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, is adding seven people to its staff of 92 because new cars are selling at their fastest rate in eight years. The market for used cars is also strong.

“Managers are actually getting involved in selling cars because we don’t have enough salespeople,” said Paul Selvaggi, president of the dealership and service center.

Faulkner has hired a sales manager, its first new employee since the third quarter of last year. Up next: salespeople, workers to service cars and employees who develop new sources of revenue.

Small businesses held off hiring until they had enough business to justify taking more risks. As recently as March, an American Express survey found 76 percent of owners planned to hire only when their revenue rose.

The ripple effect from growth in construction and consumer spending are feeding the increase, said Susan Woodward, an economist who helps software maker Intuit compile its hiring surveys.

PAMPERING IS BACK Liliana Aranda’s business began picking up in March.

Her 4-year-old company, Faces By Liliana, gives facials, massages and other spa treatments in homes or offices in the San Francisco area. Her business has done well since its start, but she never needed to hire. When clients held spa parties for their friends, she looked for freelancers to help.

In early spring, Aranda suddenly started getting more appointments. She attributes the bump in business to people splurging again after the

recession and its aftermath.

The size of Aranda’s spa parties was larger than in the past – 11 to 14 people compared to six to eight. Revenue is up 20 percent so far this year. The increase in business made hiring three part-time employees who she could always rely on a necessity.

firm so we’re not only able to service our clients, but be in a position where we don’t have to say no to the right client,” he says.

Schwartz Media’s revenue is up about 16 percent so far in 2014. If Schwartz lands two or three more big accounts, he says he will start recruiting again.

er to handle administrative and marketing tasks.

“We’ve waited perhaps a bit too long. Business is up substantially and the six of us are scrambling,” Barrett says.

Barrett expected his revenue to grow 40 percent in 2014, but sales of Grill Grate are already up 55 percent from this time last year.

ORDER FLOOD

FEWER HOLDOUTS

Publicity the past few months about Brad Barrett’s product, Grill Grate, sent orders for the backyard grill accessory soaring. Barrett, who was cautious while building his 7-year-old company, had six employees including himself and his wife. He expected that to be enough.

But orders flooded in faster than expected, and over the Independence Day weekend, the Barretts had to fill orders themselves for their product, which creates a raised grilling surface for backyard grills.

Barrett is now looking for two workers for the Cartersville, Georgia, company – one to help fill orders, and the oth-

When Microsoft Corp. ended support for its Windows XP operating system, forcing businesses and people to find alternatives, Marcus Networking was able to hire four people. The end of XP support on April 8 gave the technology seller and consultancy a boost owner Eric Marcus expects will last for several more years. Thousands of companies still need to replace PCs and servers using XP. “We’ve only made a small dent in the amount of replacements that need to be done,” says Marcus, whose company has 18 employees in Tempe, Arizona, and five in Woodland Hills, California.

A REGION RECOVERS The recovery in South Florida’s real estate market and economy has allowed Tadd Schwartz’s public relations firm to step up its hiring.

Schwartz Media Strategies usually hired one or two employees annually the past six years, but in the past three months, he’s added three full-time staffers and two interns, putting his payroll at 17. That’s up from 12 staffers a year ago.

Schwartz has been confident enough to hire before sealing a deal with new clients. He wants to have enough people on staff to hit the ground running when a contract is signed.

Israeli strikes hit U.N. school, market

By KARIN LAUB and TIA GOLDENBERG The Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israeli strikes hit a crowded shopping area in Gaza City Wednesday, hours after tank shells tore through the walls of a U.N. school crowded with war refugees in the deadliest of a series of air and artillery attacks that pushed the Palestinian death toll above 1,360 in more than three weeks of fighting.

The bloodshed came on the heels of an escalation by both sides fighting in the embattled coastal territory, further dimming prospects for a sustainable cease-fire despite international diplomatic efforts.

The attack on the U.N. school in the Jebaliya refugee camp was the second deadly strike on a U.N. compound in a week. Tank shells slammed into the compound before dawn, said Adnan Abu Hasna, a spokesman for the U.N. Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA, which is sheltering more than 200,000 people displaced by the fighting at dozens of U.N. schools across Gaza.

Gaza health ministry official Ashraf al-Kidra said at least 17 people were killed and about 90 wounded in the school strike. Four of the dead were killed just outside the school compound, two in their home nearby and two in the street, after returning from pre-dawn prayers, their relatives said.

The Israeli military said it fired back after its soldiers were targeted by mortar rounds launched from the vicinity of the school.

In one classroom, the front wall was blown out, leaving debris and bloodied clothing.

Another strike tore a large round hole in the ceiling of a second-floor classroom.

Hundreds of people crowded the school courtyard after the strike, some dazed, others wailing.

“Where will we go?” asked Aishe Abu Darabeh, 56.

“Where will we go next? We fled, and they [the Israelis] are following us.”

In all, 1,361 Palestinians have been killed – 116 on Wednesday – and more than 7,600 wounded since the July 8 start of fighting, al-Kidra said.

Clashes prevent experts from reaching bodies

By DMITRY LOVETSKY The Associated Press DONETSK, Ukraine – Almost two weeks after Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was blown out of the sky, the remains of some passengers are feared rotting in the 90-degree midsummer heat, deepening the frustration of relatives desperate to recover the bodies of their loved ones.

Fighting between Ukrainian forces and separatist rebels has kept away international police charged with securing the site, a sprawling area of farmland and villages. And until it’s secured, there is no way for forensic experts to gather up any remaining bodies or collect debris for analysis.

Even the rebels – who initially oversaw the collection of more than 200 of the 298 bodies in a disorganized, widely criticized effort – have stopped their work, saying attacks from the Ukrainian military have forced them to focus on defending themselves.

It remains unclear exactly how many bodies remain and what condition they are in after being exposed for so long to the elements. Dutch officials are adamant there are still bodies to be recovered, and Prime Minister Mark Rutte has said repeatedly that bringing them back is his government’s top priority. But Dutch officials were gloomy Wednesday about the prospects of reaching the site any time soon.

OUR VIEW

West Nile lies low for now; don’t let up on prevention West Nile virus might be lying low in Illinois this summer, but that doesn’t mean people should let their guard down.

It’s true that, as of Tuesday, no human cases had been reported, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.

But 24 Illinois counties had detected the virus in their bird or mosquito populations. As of Tuesday, Will County had detected the virus in mosquito populations; Grundy County had no reported, according to IDPH. Mosquitoes that bite infected birds can transmit West Nile to humans, so the trick is to prevent that from happening.

Experts advise people to empty water from outdoor receptacles to eliminate mosquito breeding areas around the house and yard.

It’s a good idea to check screens in doors and windows for holes and fix any that you find so the pesky bugs can’t get inside.

People should avoid going outdoors during active mosquito times at dawn and dusk. Using an effective mosquito repellent is advised, along with clothing that covers arms and legs.

An additional way to be proactive is to be on the lookout for dead birds. If you see one, report it to your local health department, so officials can decide whether to test it.

Along with crows, such as the one found locally, birds that can become infected and die are robins, blue jays, grackles, starlings, house finches, cardinals, house sparrows and mourning doves.

When West Nile first burst onto the scene in the early 2000s, Illinois was hit hard. In 2002, 553 cases were confirmed in Illinois, and 67 people died.

Compare that to 5 years ago, when no one died from West Nile, and only five cases were reported statewide.

But in 2010, four people died, out of 61 human cases, and in 2011, three died out of 34 cases.

Then in 2012, 12 people died out of 290 cases, and in 2013, 11 people died out of 117 cases.

The state Health Department has done its part to fight the virus by awarding West Nile prevention grants totaling almost $3 million to 92 certified local health departments to enhance prevention programs, provide information to the public and investigate human cases.

Hot weather, which we haven’t had that much of, is a friend of West Nile, as it promotes rapid mosquito reproduction, so be aware of that during the rest of the summer.

Experts report that, in the general population, of all people bitten by mosquitoes with West Nile, 20 percent will develop symptoms, but 80 percent won’t.

Severe cases can lead to encephalitis and meningitis, which are life-threatening.

For peace of mind and the sake of your health, do what you can to avoid exposure.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Away from the tyranny of the self “Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency,” the late poet Maya Angelou reflected in an interview with USA Today in 1988. “We can’t be kind, true, merciful, generous or honest.”

What a poem Angelou might have written about Meriam Ibrahim, who appeared with her family this week in the company of Pope Francis, having just escaped Sudan. The woman had been sentenced to death for apostasy as a pregnant mother and was later imprisoned with her young son. She was asked to denounce her Christianity, and she refused. She gave birth in prison, was eventually released under international pressure and rearrested on a travel-docu-

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez ment charge, which looked to most of us like a government trying to save face.

Clearly, Ibrahim is courageous. But so is the mother standing next to you on the train as you read this on your iPad, or so many women whom you know or encounter during any given day. Motherhood requires vulnerability, sacrifice and generosity, with ingratitude often being the response.

Courage comes in many manifestations. I just spent a weekend with a group actually called Courage. Its annual conference is a gathering of Catholics who have struggled

with same-sex attraction.

They are not “praying the gay away” as some might caricature – some members are quite open about their continuing longings – but they are committed to chastity, and happy to be so.

As demonstrated in a powerful new film, “Desire of the Everlasting Hills,” (which can be viewed for free at everlastinghills.org), the conversion they seek goes so much deeper than sexual attraction and really has to do with humanity and knowledge of the self. Lives lived in faith are not without pain, but they are lives often filled with hope, and, yes, love. Even if there might not be three kids, a dog and a picket fence involved.

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.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PILCHER PARK DAM NEEDS LITTLE REPAIR To the Editor: I visited the Pilcher Park Dam; it needs very little repair.

Two holes in the bottom will enhance rather than harm its integrity.

Hickory Creek will revert to a more natural state with some retention during extra heavy rains.

After a reasonable integration the holes can be closed.

That may not be a deciding

factor but it’s something to think about and add to the mix.

Thank you.

HEALTH TAX TO HURT SMALL BUSINESSES To the Editor: As a long-time small business owner, I’m troubled by the new Health Insurance Tax. As health insurers pass on the cost of this

tax to their policy holders, small businesses will be hit hard.

On the other hand, large corporations and unions tat self-insure will escape it entirely. The “Small Business and Family Relief Act” (H.R. 3367) would delay the HIT for two years, and I hope Congress will move quickly to enact it.

For the past 50 years, I’ve owned and operated Borre Electric, a small company based out of Palos Hills that services both commercial and resi-

dential customers. Currently, I provide health insurance for one employee. I struggle to pay his premium, and I simply cannot afford to pay the additional $500 per year brought by the HIT. If I ask him to pay for his own insurance, however, I stand the risk of losing a good employee due to the extra financial burden it would place on his family. If I’m facing this kind of pressure with one employee, I can only imagine how small business owners who

provide coverage for dozens of employees will cope.

Small businesses throughout Illinois would welcome the passage of H.R. 3367; I hope Illinois representatives will support it. I have already written Representative Daniel Lipinski to express my views on the issue, and I encourage everyone who opposes the Health Insurance Tax to voice their concerns as well.

ANOTHER VIEW

NFL fumbles chance against domestic violence It’s probably says something a little sad about society that we look to the National Football League to place value on social problems.

Still, if the nation’s most popular sport (sorry, soccer) can have an impact on our young people, particularly impressionable young athletes, then why not?

So it’s more than a little disappointing that NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell imposed only a two-game suspension on superstar Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice last week in response to a videotape showing him dragging his fiancee unconscious from an Atlantic City casino elevator in February after he apparently knocked her out. Police say they have footage of the

beating as well.

“We simply cannot tolerate conduct that endangers others or reflects negatively on our game,” Goodell wrote in a letter to Rice. “This is particularly true with respect to domestic violence and other forms of violence against women.”

Given how the NFL has previously punished players for offenses on and off the field, the commissioner’s statement on the league’s intolerance of domestic violence is a non-funny joke.

The NFL since 2006 has suspended more than 70 players for positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs and recreational drugs like marijuana. According to Deadspin, two players were suspended for four games for testing positive for drugs. A

Browns wide receiver could lose the entire season for smoking pot. Another player got eight games at the end of last year for a second drug offense.

Plaxico Burress of the Giants got suspended four games for accidentally shooting himself in the leg. One player, Terrelle Pryor, was suspended for five games even before he was drafted into the NFL for trading signed personal items for tattoos during college.

So it’s clear the NFL takes offenses seriously, even when there’s been no criminal conviction.

But one of its players knocks a woman unconscious, and all he gets is a two-game suspension? What does that say about the league’s social conscience?

According to the state Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence, domestic violence, particularly against women, is a significant issue in New York.

In 2012, there were 119,355 total assaults reported by police agencies outside New York City. Of those, 27 percent were committed by intimate partners, with women being the victim 80 percent of the time. Nearly 60 percent of female homicide victims aged 16 and older were killed by an intimate partner that year. In 2012, 22 percent of the state’s 27,823 parolees had a history of domestic violence. And 218,570 orders of protection issued in New York in 2012 were recorded in the Unified Court System’s Domestic Violence Registry.

State and local governments and courts devote millions of dollars to curbing and punishing domestic violence.

But the NFL decides that smoking pot – which is legal in the two states whose teams played in the Super Bowl this year, by the way – is more egregious than beating your partner unconscious.

If the NFL truly wants to be a role model for today’s young athletes, it must take issues like domestic violence more seriously.

In this case, the league missed an opportunity to lead, by punishing a knockout punch to a woman with a slap on the wrist.

The truth is, we have more commonalities than differences • LOPEZ Continued from page 21 Attending a Courage conference is an immersion in a counterculture. Rather than delving inward – in a culture of I-everything, where we are forever being drawn into the bottomless well of the self – every man and woman I met at the Courage gathering seeks to go outward.

One of the speakers at the conference was Immaculee Ilibagiza, a Rwandan

genocide survivor. Ilibagiza talked about gratitude: “How many blessings a day do we have that we forget to be grateful about?” She told people beset by despair: “Be grateful for one thing – one light – and hold on to that.”

And as someone who forgave the people who tried to kill her and killed so many people around her, she emphasizes: “Forgiveness is not about forgetting – or moving mountains – but giving yourself permission to see others as human beings who fall.”

The Arabic letter for “N” has become ubiquitous on my Twitter feed as of late.

In Iraq, it was the letter that would mark the houses of Christians as they were stigmatized and made to flee the country – “N” for Nazarene. Christians throughout the world have changed their avatars or made use of the “#IAmNazarene” hashtag in solidarity with Iraqi Christians and other persecuted Christians throughout the world.

This persecution, in

Iraq, Sudan and around the world, was the backstory to Ibrahim’s meeting with the pope.

You may not have to flee your homeland, but who doesn’t struggle? Imagine if we all had the courage to live not despite struggle, but with it, drawing strength and inspiration from it.

We might be guided by a hope of eternal life or simply a better world.

Our lives can fall into the lie of “us vs. them” or “near vs. far.” In truth, we have

more commonalities than differences, whatever our economic bracket, nationality or gender preference. If we can break out of self-obsession, we might just find the kind of freedom that comes from consistently virtuous living. It might even become contagious!

Local players help Illinois White succeed

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, July 31, 2014

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Shane Ritter and Nick Dalesandro have been friends since they began playing baseball together as youths.

As students entering their senior year at different high schools – Ritter is a standout pitcher at Plainfield South, and Dalesandro does much of everything for Joliet Catholic – they have the chance to play together at this week’s Midwest Baseball Classic showcase at Plainfield South.

In fact, they formed quite a battery Wednesday morning as Team Illinois White battled to a 2-2 tie with Indiana.

“I was starting, but Dalesandro wasn’t supposed to catch today,” Ritter said. “I was so happy when we got here, and the coaches said he would catch at the beginning. He’s been my best friend since we were little.

“This week is a blast, especially playing with him.”

Ritter, who has committed to Iowa, responded to having his buddy behind the plate early on. He worked five innings, allowed one hit, no earned runs and struck out eight of the 17 batters he faced.

“I felt I was locating it well,” Ritter said. “I was probably hitting 88 to 90 [mph]. I supposedly have been at 91 or 92 somewhere along the way, but I don’t know about that.”

“He’s definitely throwing harder than when we were little kids,” Dalesandro said with a laugh.

Ritter, who has been playing with Edge this summer, said he will join Dalesandro and Joliet Catholic’s Drake Fellows with the Elite team in the fall, when that team will play at Jupiter, Fla. Dalesandro’s busy summer will continue as he leaves Friday for 10 days at the Area Code Games in California.

Illinois White beat Colorado, 6-0, and New York, 1-0, Tuesday and also topped Missouri, 6-1, Wednesday afternoon to move to 3-0-1 entering Thursday’s 11:30 a.m. finale against Illinois Grey.

The Illinois White roster also features Joliet West’s Cody Grosse, Griffin McGuire and Robert Talarico; Providence’s Brent Villasenor; and Lincoln-Way East’s Mitch Matuszewski.

Talarico worked two scoreless innings to finish off the win over New York. McGuire, playing third base, had an RBI single against Indiana and made a Willie Mays-like, dip-glove catch running down the line in foul territory with his back to the infield.

Joliet West’s Griffin McGuire plays first for Team Illinois White during a game Wednesday in the Midwest Classic baseball tournament.

Against Missouri, Grosse, McGuire, Matuszewski and Dalesandro all hit safely. Dalesandro doubled. Grosse drove in a run, scored two and stole two bases.

“This is a learning process,” said McGuire, who is scheduled to start on the mound Thursday morning. “The coaches are really good. They notice a lot of things we are doing wrong, the bad habits we developed in the high school season, and correct it.”

McGuire said he enjoys having two

of his West teammates with him on Illinois White.

“Cody [Grosse, a middle infielder] is driving for the ball and playing solid defense,” he said. “He’s just being Cody. And Robert [Talarico] did a good job when he got in to pitch.”

Talarico said these games have been “really fun. The guys on our team are great, and all the states have brought good teams. The games have been close for the most part.”

The games have been well-attend-

ed, with numerous college coaches on hand. “It’s a good opportunity to be seen by college coaches and everyone else,” said Talarico, who has played this summer with the Illinois Sparks.

While Dalesandro will play college ball at Purdue and Ritter will move on to Iowa, the Joliet West trio has yet to decide on a college. But they all want to play college ball, and the Midwest Classic will do nothing but help in that regard.

Jim Hall, the former Lockport Hall of Fame coach, manages Illinois White.

He said the good showing by the Joliet area contingent comes as no surprise.

“It’s a credit to coaches like Phil Bodine [Plainfield South], Karch [Joliet West’s John Karczewski], Jared Voss [Joliet Catholic], Andy Satunas [Lockport] and all the guys who coach around here,” Hall said. “You can tell the players who are well coached, and the area kids are.”

Hall said Ritter’s pitching effort “was very good. He was commanding on the mound. And Griffin [McGuire], that catch he made was phenomenal.”

McGuire played first base against Missouri and also made a nice grab of a pop foul as he hit and leaned over the short fence.

WRESTLING

AREA ROUNDUP

SUBMITTED, STAFF REPORTS

By CURT HERRON LOCKPORT – All Shayne Oster was looking to do was to become an All-American.

But that’s still a pretty tall task when you consider all of the quality wrestlers who had the same goal at last week’s USA Wrestling Cadet Freestyle Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota.

Oster, who will be a junior at Lockport, not only was able to assure himself a finish among the eight-best in the nation at 138 pounds but also made it all the way to the championship match before falling in the finals to a double-winner at the competition.

He advanced to the title match before falling to Missouri’s Ethan Karsten, who won 10-0 by technical fall to add to the championship that he earlier won in Cadet Greco-Roman.

“I was just hoping to get All-American, so being in the finals was more than I expected,” Oster said. “I watched it four or five times and then went last year and went 1-2 there. It’s very exciting to be competing in front of that many people. Everyone’s eyes are on you, so there’s a lot of pressure; but it was a lot of fun, too.

“It was a great experience.

There were a lot of good kids

there, and it was nice to see so many different kids. Once you get going, you just want to keep the momentum and you feel good about what you’re doing, and it helps.”

After winning his first five matches, including one by fall and three by technical fall, he became one of just five Illinois competitors to reach the Cadet Freestyle finals.

Thanks in part to the efforts of those finalists, Team Illinois easily captured the championship in Cadet Freestyle by an 88-58 margin over runner-up Pennsylvania.

Karsten, who will be a junior at Platte County, came into the competition with impressive credentials after winning his state’s Class 3A 132-pound title in overtime, denying his opponent in that match of becoming a four-time Missouri state champion.

Oster became just the fifth Porter to compete for a Cadet or Junior national title. The others were two-time champion Haley Augello (Junior Freestyle), champion and runner-up Mark Stenberg (Junior Greco-Roman and Cadet Greco-Roman), champion Tyler Johnson (Cadet Freestyle) and runner-up Brian Rossi (Junior Freestyle).

The second-place effort was also the best-ever by any of the five Oster brothers. That group’s previous-best was a

fifth-place showing in Cadet Freestyle by Jameson, a fourtime IHSA placewinner who’s now a senior at Northwestern University.

Lockport nearly had another All-American but Trevell Timmons, who will be a sophomore, went 3-2 in Cadet Freestyle and came up one victory shy of a medal at 145 pounds.

Last season, Oster became the third member of his family to claim a medal at the IHSA finals, joining Jameson, a state champion in 2009 and Jake, who won a title in 2004.

Shayne Oster captured a third-place finish at 126 pounds in last year’s Class 3A tournament and has set his sights on joining his two brothers as state champions.

He’ll once again rely on the guidance of brother Josh, who not only coaches the Porters but also has been a longtime offseason coach for Team Illinois.

“After being there you’re just more prepared because of the atmosphere and you don’t get as nervous,” Shayne Oster said.

“And having my brother there makes it more comfortable since he coaches me all year and he knows what I can do.

“This builds up my confidence since now I know that I can do it. I’m feeling pretty good about where I’m at right now. Hopefully, I’ll be able to win a state title this year.”

Oster claims second place in Cadet Freestyle finals

ROMEOVILLE – It has been a yearly tradition for James Kearney to take on new responsibilities as a member of the Lewis cross country coaching staff, but his latest task may be his greatest one yet.

Lewis Director of Athletics John Planek announced that Kearney has been elevated to head cross country coach after serving the previous four seasons as an assistant for the Flyers. Last year, Kearney played a crucial role in helping the women’s team – led by freshman All-American Amanda Farrough – finish 19th in the nation and mentored senior Andrew McLain to All-America status.

Kearney joined the Flyer coaching staff in 2010 as a graduate assistant. In 2012, former head cross country coach Dana Schwarting hired him full-time as the recruiting coordinator and women’s distance coach.

Last season, Kearney was charged with guiding both the men’s and women’s distance runners.

Collins rolls to Illinois Women’s Open title

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, July 31, 2014

26

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Emily Collins joked that one of the reasons that she decided to compete in the Phil Kosin Illinois Women’s Open was to escape the summer heat in Texas.

But while those who’ve been in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex in late July can relate with that sentiment, it’s obvious that Collins wasn’t heading north simply for cooler weather.

The recent University of Oklahoma graduate from Colleyville, Texas, who aspires to go to the LPGA qualifying school put on an impressive display at Mistwood Golf Club that left absolutely no doubt about who the winner of the 20th title would be.

After jumping out to a fivestroke lead following a 68 on Tuesday, Collins finished with a four-under-par 212 total for

the three-day event to claim a nine-stroke advantage over four others in what is believed to be one of the biggest margins of victory in the event’s history.

After tying for second place in her first pro event, the Texas Women’s Open, in early July, Collins decided that her second tournament would be the similar tournament in Illinois, the state where her parents attended college, Illinois State University.

Mistwood, which has been recognized by a variety of golf publications as one of the nation’s top renovated public courses, proved to be a great host for the 16th time but also a rather difficult challenge for the vast majority of the competitors.

But Collins seemed unfazed, following up on a 73 on Monday with the great round on day two and a one-under par score in the finale to cap-

“It was a great feeling.

This is my first pro victory, so I’m really excited and happy to be in Illinois with the awesome weather to do it.”

Emily Collins Illinois Women’s Open victor

ture a satisfying initial pro win.

“It was a great feeling,” said Collins of her triumph. “This is my first pro victory, so I’m really excited and happy to be in Illinois with the awesome weather to do it. This was a good tournament. I made a lot of putts and had a lot of good par-saves, too. So overall, I’m really happy with how I played and kept it together in tough conditions on a tough course.

“I have a little bit of family and friends up here and I knew that the weather would be nice and I wanted to get away from the heat. I actually played in the Texas version of this a couple of weeks ago so I figured that Illinois probably had one similar. And I knew a lot of the college girls who were playing here.”

Before going to qualifying school in Palm Springs, California, Collins will head to Grand Rapids, Michigan, next week and compete in a qualifier for the LPGA event there.

In the four-way tie for fourth, which was at fiveover for a 221 total, a pair of amateurs from Illinois, Ashley Armstrong and Ember Schuldt, both finished with even-par scores of 72, which either equalled or was better than their efforts on the first two days.

Armstrong, a senior at the University of Notre Dame who

was also a member of several successful teams at Homewood-Flossmoor, was pleased with her performance on the challenging course that is known for its ‘Kelpie’s Korner’ along the loch on the back nine.

“With the wind, the back nine stretch called ‘Kelpie’s Korner’ was playing tough today,” Armstrong said. “The greens are so fast but they’re also so smooth and they’re great. This course is so much fun to play. If you’re hitting the ball well, you can go low, but it will definitely punish you if you’re not hitting the ball well.”

Lisbeth Brooks and Allyssa Ferrell also tied for second place with 221 scores while Punpaka Phuntumabamrung was sixth with a 222. Amanda Robertson and Sasikarn OnIam both turned in scores of 223 and Stacey Miller was next in line with a 224 total.

FRONTIER GREYS 12, JOLIET SLAMMERS 0

Slammers fall in series opener to Frontier Greys

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET –The Frontier Greys dashed the Joliet Slammers’ hopes of getting their six-game home stand at Silver Cross Field off on the right foot after claiming a 12-0 win Wednesday.

Frontier leftfielder Frank Florio hit for the cycle and drove in six runs. His single came in the first, his double in the third, his triple in the sixth and his homer in the eighth inning.

The Greys entered the game

with a 21-42 record that was good for last place in the Frontier League’s East Division but Frontier has scored 28 runs in its last three games.

Frontier picked up where it left off by striking for two runs in the first inning against Joliet to take a 2-0 lead.

Joliet starter Matt Crim surrendered a lead-off double to Jon Dziomba followed by a single to Zach Tanner. Joe Rapp’s ground out to shortstop Max Casper scored Dziomba. Florio followed two batters later with a single to center that scored Tanner. Frontier’s Dziomba

homered to right in the second inning to make it 3-0.

The Slammers, who entered the game with a 25-38 record, threatened in the bottom of the second inning by putting JD Dorgan on second and Adam Giacalone on third with one out. Josh Scheffert hit a liner that Frontier first baseman Joe Rapp gloved with a diving stab. Rapp then threw to shortstop Chase Tucker to double off Dorgan.

The Greys broke it open in the top of the third inning.

Jon Minucci drew a one-out walk and Michael Vaughn dou-

bled to center. Florio’s double to left scored two runs. Ramon Ortega walked before Tucker singled home Florio one batter later. Then Dziomba singled home Ortega to make it 7-0.

Crim,who took the loss, pitched 22⁄3 innings. He gave up seven runs, all earned and seven hits.

The Greys added insult to injury in top of the sixth inning. Florio tripled in two runs. Steve Rogers’ two-run homer to right made it 11-0. Frontier hit for the team cycle in the inning with Minucci’s single, Vaughn’s double, Florio’s tri-

ple and Rogers’home run.

The Slammers’ Grant DeBruin entered the game leading the league with a .375 average. He had also hit safely in 12 straight games and 35 of the last 38 games. The acquisition of Scheffert also resulted in DeBruin moving to second base.

He had a fielder’s choice in his first at-bat, and he grounded into a force out in his second at bat. DeBruin flew out to right his third time up.

The Greys’ starter, Clint Wright, improved to 6-5 on the season. He pitched nine shutout innings and scattered four hits.

Marshall loving new, improved Jay Cutler

quarterbacks during practice Wednesday, Marshall, along with fellow receivers Alshon Jeffery and Marquess Wilson, and tight end Martellus Bennett, spent time after practice with Hall of Fame receiver and NFL Network analyst Michael Irvin, someone Marshall also credits for making him better personally.

“You see the journey he’s been on and see where he’s at today, that’s a lot of inspiration there,” Marshall said. “…

Whenever I get a chance to be around him, I take advantage of it. There’s times I just reach out to ask a question or two.

He’s always been there for us, I appreciate it, when I say us, I mean my wife and I, and I love it.”

On Wednesday, though, Marshall made sure his younger teammates were the ones asking questions and picking the brain of “The Playmaker.”

“I just think that’s the

Alshon, Martellus and Marquess, those are the guys that’s going to win games,” Marshall said. “When I say that, I mean it could be Alshon’s Day, it could be Q’s

day, it could be Marty’s day, it could be my day. That’s just how our office is set up.

It’s not about me, it’s not just about Matt or Jay, it’s about the group.”

Vereen plays backup to McCray for a day

By LUKE SRODULSKI lsrodulski@shawmedia.com BOURBONNAIS – Almost everything was the same as usual in Bourbonnais on Wednesday morning.

The sun was shining, nearly the whole town was in attendance at Bears training camp, and coach Marc Trestman was wearing the same blue shirt, sweatpants and hat.

The only shift from the norm was at safety, where rookie Brock Vereen played with the second string and Danny McCray played with the starters.

As expected, Trestman said that there’s no reason to read into the switch too much, it was simply done to give McCray an opportunity to prove himself.

“I don’t think you should take any one day and start making decisions on who is playing that position, other than certainly the guys that we all

know,” he said. “But the safety position is wide open, and Danny has worked to the extent that he deserves a chance to get some work there.”

McCray was similarly nonchalant about the change, saying, “It’s day five, so the excitement is not really there. I just know I’ve got a good opportunity to go out there and show what I can do.”

Ryan Mundy was alongside McCray with the starters, while Adrian Wilson was with Vereen. None of the four ever has played a snap for the Bears.

The only two returning safeties, Craig Steltz and Chris Conte, have been kept out of training camp by injuries.

So although the current situation might indicate that Vereen could be a starter come September, he’s setting his sights much lower.

“I’m not in a position to even question that right now,” Vereen said.

“I’m far too young to even worry about starting, not starting, whatever. In my mind, I still need to prove that I’m worthy of being on this team.”

Trestman insisted the switch had nothing to do with anything Vereen has done wrong.

He lauded the Minnesota product’s brightness, maturity and sharpness with his assignments, and noted that he will be paying close attention to how the 21-year-old handles this situation.

Vereen is focused on learning from his elders. Secondary coach Jon Hoke and safeties coach Chris Harris have been hard on him about communication, while veteran teammates have been preaching anticipation.

Most of the teaching and learning doesn’t even happen on the field, which is why Vereen doesn’t deem the switch from ones to twos for at

least a day of practice as a very significant one.

“I think you learn the most in the film room, really,” he said. “Whether you’re with the ones, twos or threes, you need to find out what you did wrong and make sure it doesn’t happen again.”

No matter whom he is playing with, Vereen said he is “worthy of making a play.”

And although he has had setbacks like any other rookie, coaches and veterans are there to make sure the same mistakes don’t happen again.

Vereen is getting more comfortable every day as training camp wears on.

The transition from college to the pros has been a tough one, but it’s a challenge that he embraces.

“It’s nonstop, and that’s what we signed up for,” he said. “That’s why we’re paid to be here. But it’s fun.

You’ve got to love it.”

• Thursday, July 31, 2014

BOURBONNAIS – Brandon Marshall and Jay Cutler have a well-established rapport that traces back to their Denver days.

Yet, Marshall, the Bears’ No. 1 receiver, told reporters Wednesday that he barely knows Cutler, the Bears’ $54 million quarterback, who Marshall joked should be known as “Joshua” moving forward because he’s so different from the old Jay. Marshall is so impressed with the new Jay, in fact, that he thinks Cutler can win the NFL’s MVP award this season. In addition to the luxury of playing in Marc Trestman’s offense with a loaded supporting cast, Cutler, Marshall believes, has become one of the hardest working Bears in the offseason, echoing what offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer said earli-

er in the week.

“He’s a totally different person, totally different athlete,” Marshall said. “He’s the first one in the building, and that [stinks] because I try to be the first one in the building. He’s there at like 5 a.m.

He lives it. I think he has a great balance to his life now with his personal stuff. ... I love him, and I love catching balls, so let’s keep it.”

Specifically, Marshall has observed improved leadership from Cutler, which is helping the entire offense play with more confidence.

“He’s leading us and it’s a trickle-down effect,” Marshall said. “From a leadership standpoint, he’s bringing everyone along with him, he’s making everyone better. As far as how efficient he is, it just makes our offense that much better and gives everyone confidence.”

TIGERS 7, WHITE SOX 2

Scherzer, Tigers roll past Sox

By NOAH TRISTER The Associated Press DETROIT – After missing a game with an injured finger on his right hand, Nick Castellanos returned to the lineup – and realized his swing felt a bit better.

“I’ve been using a lot of top hand, kind of rolling over pitches I should stay through,” Castellanos said. “Now, with my finger being hurt on my top hand, I have to use a lot more bottom hand. It helped me out tonight. I really didn’t try to do too much.”

Castellanos homered and

drove in four runs, and the Detroit Tigers scored six runs in the first inning en route to a 7-2 victory over the White Sox on Wednesday.

Castellanos’ three-run homer capped Detroit’s early outburst.

Max Scherzer (13-3) allowed a run and five hits in seven innings for the Tigers, who snapped a four-game losing streak. He struck out six and walked one.

Detroit allowed seven runs in the seventh in an 11-4 loss to the Sox on Tuesday, but this time the big inning belonged to the Tigers. Detroit had scored

six runs over its previous four games before scoring that many in the first inning off Hector Noesi.

Noesi (5-8) allowed six runs and 10 hits in six innings. Sox slugger Jose Abreu singled in the seventh to extend his hitting streak to 19 games. He has hit safely in 37 of his last 38 games. Adam Dunn homered for the Sox, his 17th of the year.

Scherzer is unbeaten in his last seven starts. He faced the minimum 15 hitters through the first five innings – the Tigers turned double plays after singles by Adam Eaton in the first and fourth.

Preparing for the life ahead of him Joliet teenager/Boy Scout gives back to the school that helped shape him

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Who is that kid?

That’s what several people at Families of Faith Ministries were asking, said Pastor Randy Blan, when Micah McBride, 14, was leading his crew to install safety borders and mulch for the church’s first playground.

“He was pretty remarkable for an eighth-grader,” Blan said. “Whenever there was a hiccup or problem, he stepped right in and resolved it. He even arranged lunch for everyone.

You just don’t see that kind of leadership in young people anymore.”

Just a couple short years ago, those efforts and abilities weren’t present in Micah, either, said Chris McBride of Joliet, Micah’s mother and a teacher at Families of Faith Christian Academy, the church’s day school.

During the four years Chris had home-schooled Micah, she needed to corral him quite a bit, she said. He had difficulty setting and meeting goals for himself, she added. Micah agreed.

“I was very hyperactive, probably the most off-the-wall kid you could meet,” Micah said. “I would choose fun – something I wanted to do – instead of what needed to be done.”

That changed when Micah became involved with scouting four years ago, Chris said, as well as became immersed in the Christian environment at Families of Faith Christian Academy, which he started attending in the sixth grade.

The school, Chris added, came highly recommended after she received her teacher’s certificate in 2008 and began applying for jobs. She found it ideal for Micah, too, especially since Families of Faith uses the same Christian curriculum – A Beka – that Chris used at home, she said.

“Their [the school staff] priorities are the Gospel first and the school second,” Chris said. “They’re there to minister to the community.”

As a student at Families of Faith Christian Academy, Micah knew the school had raised money for – and then purchased and assembled – playground equipment. Because the school attracts many young children in various programs – the school,

“You just don’t see that kind of leadership in young people anymore.”

Randy Blan Pastor, Families of Faith Ministries

Sunday school, its day care and the younger siblings of its All-Stars sports program – the need was obvious.

“When they went out there, they didn’t have anything to play on, basically,” Micah said.

That’s when Micah, a member of Boy Scout Troop 44 of New Lenox, realized he could finish the installation as an Eagle Scout project. He also knew the school had raised enough money for the safety borders and mulch but not for workers to install it. So he got busy.

The process for obtaining project approval by the Boy Scouts is not an easy one, said Bill Schade, Micah’s

troop leader. First steps for Micah included writing a plan and completing many pages of forms, Schade said.

“We don’t let the kids take the easy way out,” Schade said. “Picking up trash alongside the road is a good thing to do but it doesn’t meet the criteria for an Eagle Scout project.”

Next, Families of Faith Christian Academy, Schade and Rainbow Council had to approve Micah’s plan, Schade said. Generally, Schade added, the original plan will need adjustment, which helps teach the boys flexibility. Micah also had to assemble any needed supplies and volunteers, as well as prepare a safety talk.

“It’s a lot of work,” Schade said.

“Only about 10 percent of Scouts achieve it. Most of the time, they’re in high school, late freshman, sophomore junior or even senior year.

Micah is moving along at a pretty good clip. He’s extremely active and involved.”

Also noteworthy is that Micah ran the project without assistance from

Schade, who was at work that day.

Most Eagle Scout projects are done on weekends, when adult leaders are generally available to volunteer, too.

“He had a specified day that he had to do it,” Schade said.

Helping Micah to construct the border and fill it in with 14,000 pounds of rubber mulch were eight Boy Scouts from Troop 44 of New Lenox and Troop 444 of Channahon and six school volunteers, along with Micah’s sister, Marcail McBride, 11, and his parents Chris and Phil, according to information supplied by his family.

Through it all, Micah could see God’s hand at work through the actions of everyone that came out to help, he said. He’s also thankful to both Troop 44 and Families of Faith Christian Academy for shaping the morals that guided him in this project, morals he holds dear today.

“The values that are important to me are trust, strong faith, helping others,” Micah said, “and to make sure I am prepared for the life that’s ahead of me.”

Chinese police remove church cross amid crackdown THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIJING – Hundreds of police took down a church’s cross Monday in a city known as “China’s Jerusalem” for its many houses of worship amid a crackdown on church buildings in a coastal region where thousands of people are embracing Christianity.

Evangelist Qu Linuo said he and about 200 others had rushed to the Longgang Huai En Church in the eastern city of Wenzhou to protect the building but peacefully made way for the police, who used a crane to remove the 10-foot-tall red cross from its steeple.

Authorities told the church the cross violated building height limits, and returned it to the parishioners, who wept and prayed around it, said Qu, who is a member of another church. A man at the county’s public security office said he didn’t know anything about the incident, and the Longgang township police didn’t answer phone calls.

Across Zhejiang province, where Wenzhou is located, authorities have toppled or threatened to topple crosses at more than 130 Protestant churches. In a few cases, the government has even razed sanctuaries.

Officials say they’re enforcing building codes, although often they won’t specify which ones. They also deny they are specifically targeting churches, and point to the demolition of tens of thousands of other buildings, religious and non-religious, that have apparently broken regulations.

But experts and church leaders in this province south of Shanghai – the only one where the incidents are happening – say the government appears to be trying to suppress the fast-growing religion.

Official 2010 figures put the number of Christians in state-sanctioned churches at 23 million believers, but the country also has vast numbers of believers who meet in secret. The Pew Research Center

Church members pray July 16 in a private room in Jiu’en Tang, a Christian church, in the Shuitou township in Wenzhou in eastern China’s Zhejiang province.

AP

estimated 58 million Protestants in the country practiced the religion in 2011, along with 9 million Catholics the year before. Some experts say the total could be more than 100 million.

The church’s dramatic growth – and Christians’ allegiance to God above all else – has alarmed authorities, said Yang Fenggang, a Purdue University sociologist and leading expert on religious matters in China. It was difficult to imagine what sort of building codes the crosses would violate.

“The only reason I can think of is that the Zhejiang

authorities intend to humiliate Christians by taking down the symbol sacred to them,” he said.

The province may have come under scrutiny because it is home to Wenzhou, where more than a tenth of residents are Protestant Christians, the highest proportion of any major Chinese city, according to Cao Nanlai, an anthropologist who has studied and written a book about Christianity in Wenzhou.

Half the province’s 4,000 churches are located here, he said, partly a legacy of early missionary efforts here.

Known for its entrepreneurial vigor, Wenzhou has tens of thousands of small family-run workshops making shoes, toys and other products.

Believers here appear to have applied that same eagerness to starting new churches, Cao said.

The cross removals and demolitions reflect the occasional flexing of political muscle by authorities to show who’s in control, he said.

Last week, parishioners at another church in the city successfully protected their cross from hundreds of police, said Zheng Changye, a 36-year-old member of another church.

He said three people suffered serious injuries in the clash with police, and photos posted online showed several people bleeding from head injuries.

On Monday, other photos posted on the China social media site Weibo showed parishioners at the Longgang Huai En Church praying on its steps and holding banners reading, “Anti-graft, anti-corruption, protect religion.”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

How should declarer go after his tricks?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Dorothy Miller Richardson, an English novelist, said, “If there was a trick, there must be a trickster.”

I suppose all bridge players could be called tricksters, even though some are more skillful at prestidigitation than others.

In this deal, South is trying to bring home nine tricks in no-trump. After West leads the diamond queen, what should declarer do? And suppose dummy’s hearts were A-Q-10. Would that change South’s plan?

After South opens two notrump, showing a balanced hand with a good 20 to a so-so 22 points, North is right not to use Stayman with 4-3-3-3 distribution and such weak spades. Even if South has four spades, it is unlikely that four spades would make and three notrump fail. The reverse would be more probable.

South starts with six top tricks: one spade, three hearts and two diamonds. Obviously, declarer should try to collect three club winners – but how should he play the suit?

This is a great example of “lead up to honors.” South should plan to cross to dummy three times with a heart and to play a club toward his hand. Whenever East has the club ace or the suit splits 3-3, the contract will come home.

Note that leading a club honor from hand leads to defeat with this layout.

If dummy’s hearts are A-Q-10, it is a much tougher problem.

If East has ace-fourth of clubs, South needs three heart entries, so should play a heart to the 10, hoping West has the jack. But that risks going down when clubs are 3-3. The odds of each line are almost equal – guess well.

ADVICE Obsession over abs creates unsafe situation Dear Abby: I’m a 21-year-old man who has been a successful swimmer in high school and now in college. Over the past few months, I have become obsessed with developing six-pack abs. I have never had much success with women, and I thought that looking like a movie star might finally get me noticed and make me feel good about myself.

As a result, I have become obsessive about my diet. I have dropped 10 pounds, mostly muscle, and my performance in the pool has suffered. If I don’t see perfect definition between every ab and don’t exercise for at least 2 1/2 hours a day, I feel fat and guilty whenever I eat. I have awakened in the middle of the night worrying about what I’ll eat the next day. I’m concerned for the future when my metabolism will inevitably slow down.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I have begun to think that death is a better scenario than being fat, or feeling that way. I want to be able to enjoy eating again and get my life back. I don’t want to tell my parents or friends for fear of seeming weak-minded. Where can I go for help? – Feeling Lost In New Mexico Dear Feeling Lost: Physical perfection is no guarantee that you’ll find love. Liking yourself and accepting yourself for who you are is what attracts others.

Although “looking like a movie star” can be an asset – depending upon who the movie star is – unless you are secure about who you are and what

you have to offer, you can’t maintain a healthy relationship. (If you don’t believe me, look at the tabloids and start counting how many movie star romances resemble a game of musical chairs.)

If you truly think that death might be preferable to being fat, then you are in trouble.

You may have a serious eating disorder, one that could shorten your life. Most people who have an eating disorder need professional help to overcome it, so the place to go is to your student health center. Ask to speak with a mental health counselor about what you’re doing and how you’re feeling. It is important that you understand what has caused this so you can be successfully treated.

Iodine, thyroid gland and how it all works Dear Doctor K: I cook with kosher salt, which doesn’t contain iodine. Am I getting enough iodine in my diet? Can I get iodine from other foods?

Dear Reader: Before I answer your question, I’ll need to explain a little about the thyroid gland and how it works. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland that perches with its wings wrapped around the front of your windpipe, below your voice box. This gland influences the rate at which every cell, tissue and organ in your body functions. It does this primarily by secreting thyroid hormones.

Your thyroid needs fuel to produce thyroid hormones. This fuel is iodine. Many people think of iodine as a liquid that you put on a cut to help kill any germs. It is used that way, but it also has other medical uses.

Iodine is a natural part of our environment. It’s in seawater, rocks and other parts of our world. It gets into our body in various foods such as packaged breads and milk products. Shrimp and fish, such as cod and tuna, are also good food sources of iodine.

Iodine in foods gets absorbed into the bloodstream and carried

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff by the blood to the thyroid gland in the neck. There, it fuels the production of thyroid hormones.

You asked about kosher salt.

Most table salt is “iodized”: It contains iodine. However, iodine is not found in kosher salt. So, if you use kosher salt only, could you cause yourself thyroid problems?

It’s a reasonable question, because iodine deficiency can lead to enlargement in the front of the throat, known as a goiter. Severe iodine deficiency can progress to hypothyroidism, a condition in which the thyroid cannot produce enough thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism can cause fatigue, constipation, weight gain, slowed heart rate and depression.

Iodine deficiency is generally not a problem in the United States. Many, if not most, Americans consume iodized salt. And food manufacturers add iodine to many commercial breads and milk products. Still, iodine consumption has declined considerably since the late 1970s.

The reason for the decline may have to do with changing eating habits. For example, many specialty salts, including kosher salt and sea salt, contain no iodine. Nor do fresh bakery breads.

Processed foods are high in salt, but most processed foods do not contain iodized salt.

On my website, AskDoctorK. com, I’ve put a table showing the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for iodine for different age groups. You need to consume about 2 grams of iodized salt per day to meet the RDA for adults.

But only if you’re not consuming other food sources of iodine – and I’d bet that you are.

So, I think it’s unlikely that your use of kosher salt instead of the iodized salt most people sprinkle on their food will cause you any problems. If you are really concerned, ask your doctor. He or she can examine your thyroid gland to see if it is enlarged. Simple blood tests can tell if you have hypothyroidism.

Time to forgive and forget Dr. Wallace: Last spring I went to a friend’s party celebrating her 17th birthday.

I don’t drink alcohol, but at the insistence of another friend, I had a mixed alcoholic drink.

It was my first taste of booze. Unfortunately, I had two more mixed drinks and got tipsy.

I was still tipsy when I got home, and that caused my parents to go ballistic. I got the lecture of my life and was placed on three months’ restriction. That meant that I could not leave our house unless I was with a parent. The only exception was to attend school.

I’m off restriction now. I apologized for my miserable behavior and solemnly promised that I wouldn’t touch alcohol again until I’m 21 – if then. I am now 18.

My problem is that almost every day now, my parents (one or both) tell me how disappointed they are with me because I came home “drunk as a skunk.” I’m tired of hearing about being “an alcoholic.” I used to love and respect my mom and dad very much, but lately I don’t care to be around them and my love for them has turned to disgust.

I’ve never been in trouble at school or with the law; I get excellent grades and I’ve earned a partial scholarship at Ohio State University and will be attending OSU in September.

Before my “drunken stupor,” I was concerned about leaving home.

Now I’m thrilled to be getting out of my house.

Dr. Wallace, I’m not a criminal. I’m just a teen who made a mistake. I’ve apologized and served my punishment. Isn’t it possible my parents are over-reacting and

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace that it’s time for them to show love and forgiveness before they lose me forever? – Unforgiven, Cleveland, Ohio Dear Unforgiven: I can understand that they were disappointed with your experiment with alcohol, but an apology, a punishment and a promise to never let it happen again should renew the trust parents have in their children.

Consuming alcohol to the point you became tipsy is a serious breach in trust, but you are human, and humans are prone to making poor judgments.

Your parents, I believe, are making a mistake in constantly reminding you of your error. It’s time for them to forgive and forget and to return to being loving, compassionate parents.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 16-year-old girl who had a perfect complexion until three months ago when a slight bit of acne appeared. This also occurred after my boyfriend and I started a sexual relationship.

A friend of mine said that the sexual conduct caused the blemishes. If I stop having sex, will my complexion clear up? – Nameless, Athens, Ga.

Dear Nameless: According to Southern California dermatologist, Dr. Jeffrey Lauber, “There is no evidence that sexual activity has any role in causing acne.

Sexual activity or the lack of sexual activity will not influence this acne condition.”

Space adventure ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’ is coolest summer movie

By DANA BARBUTO More Content Now Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” isn’t writer-director James Gunn’s first superhero movie. That would be the subversive, pitch-black indie “Super,” which was as violent as it was funny.

He’s toned down the blood and mayhem a bit, but “Guardians” remains the coolest movie of the summer.

The story is sanitized and recycled, but Gunn infuses it with his off-kilter style and nerve, beginning with casting roly-poly sitcom star Chris Pratt (“Parks and Recreation”) as his Han Solo-like leading man. Pratt brings a newly chiseled physique and a mountain of charisma and goofiness to his star-turn as Peter Quill, a.k.a. Star-Lord, an interplanetary outlaw with a bounty on his head.

Pratt’s charm and presence go a long way to carry the film through a confusing first act bogged down in character introductions, back story and set-up. The plot is basic superhero tripe.

Quill, an orphan (he watched his

mother die in the pre-title sequence), joins forces with a gang of imprisoned superhero alien misfits in busting out of jail to recapture a powerful device called the Orb. But to keep it secure, they’ll need to defeat the nefarious Ronan (Lee Pace), an enforcer for the yet unseen Thanos. Not only do the guardians save the world from intergalactic annihilation, they evolve from reluctant allies who argue a lot to BFFs willing to die for each other.

In his best role ever, Vin Diesel provides the voice of the sentient tree-like being, Groot. The only line he ever says is, “I am Groot,” but he dazzles with the ability to rebuild himself. As the warrior assassin Gomora, Zoe Saldana (“Avatar”) trades blue makeup for a sexy green get-up and flashes a bit of personality for once. Professional wrestler Dave Bautista’s Drax is more hilarious, less dolt.

Bradley Cooper is unhinged, providing the voice for Rocket, the salty racoon-like creature who is the brains of the bunch.

Give him his own movie, but take cover if you call him “vermin” or “rodent.”

Also lending support are Djimon Hounsou, John C. Reilly, Glenn Close, Michael Rooker and Benicio Del Toro.

Gunn fires a lot at us – all in unnecessary 3-D, of course – but redeems himself with a twisted sense of humor, running gags and a soundtrack (it’s Quill’s late mom’s “Awesome Mix” tape) rich in ’70s hits, including “Come and Get Your Love,” “Cherry Bomb” and “Escape: The Pina Colada Song.”

There also are wacky references to John Stamos, Kevin Bacon, “Footloose” and the per-usual Stan Lee cameo.

The film references Quill’s father (cue the “Imperial March”), but never elaborates on that story line. Expect it to get explored more in the sequel, young Skywalker, which is due out July 2017.

Josh Brolin will play the supervillain Thanos.

• “Guardians of the Galaxy” is rated PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi violence and action, and for some language. The cast includes Chris Pratt, Zoe Saldana, Vin Diesel, Bradley Cooper and Dave Bautista. Grade: B+.
