By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Public Schools District 86 board inspectors plan to review search firms for the next school superintendent, following the retirement of Charles Coleman.

Coleman announced his retirement from his role as school superintendent to board inspectors in a June 10 letter. He stated in the letter that as he looked to an upcoming milestone in his personal and professional career, he made a “difficult decision” that the 2015-16 fiscal year will be his last with the Joliet school district.

“It’s a family decision,” he said at Wednesday’s school board meeting. “My wife is an educator. She decided this past school year would be her last year, so it called me to engage in a lot of reflection and after a

lot of soul searching, I decided this would be my final year.”

Coleman, who has more than 34 years as an educator, was hired to lead the school district in 2011. Before then, he was superintendent of Battle Creek Public Schools in Michigan for 10 years, as well as superintendent for Marion Community Schools in Marion, Indiana, for five years.

His official retirement date is July 1, 2016.

Board inspectors will plan to review six search firms and select one to conduct a search for the next superintendent.

They also plan to hold open session interviews with the search firm candidates.

Those firms include BWP & Associates from Evanston, Hazard, Young, Attea & Associates from Rosemont, Illinois Association of School Boards, McPherson & Jacobson LLC from Nebraska, Ray and Associates Inc., and School Exec

Connect from Highland Park.

Board President Gwendolyn Ulmer said she wishes Coleman well.

“It’s sad to see him leave, but I understand he has family and obligations,” she said.

Under Coleman’s leadership, the school district pursued and completed a threeyear strategic plan to improve student achievement, services, technology and other areas. At Wednesday’s meeting, board inspectors unanimously adopted a new three-year strategic plan effective from the 2015-16 school year through 2018.

The school district has undergone several administrative changes across school under Coleman, with Ankhe Bradley serving as the new assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction. New principals were appointed at several elementary schools as well.

Plainfield task force discusses business incentive policy

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Village staff have tweaked the requirements for prospective businesses receiving incentives to move into Plainfield.

In comments made Wednesday morning at a meeting of the village’s task force on economic development, Village Administrator Brian Murphy and Planner Michael Garrigan presented an updated business plan based on the task force’s previous discussions.

“The biggest number of comments is related to the incentive policy,” Garrigan said.

“We did modify some of the threshold areas with regards to the number of employees that would be a minimum before we generally consider a development for incentives.”

Updated requirements for incentives are that a new business or expansion needs to

create or retain at least 50 fulltime jobs, will help fill a major economic leakage, has annual retail sales of $10 million, will generate $500,000 in property taxes to Plainfield, and the relocation of business headquarters.

The Village Board would consider incentives for businesses if they meet at least one of those criteria. The board would have the discretion to stray from the policy.

Garrigan said historically the village has been conservative with incentives, working with the Will County Center for Economic Development for industrial businesses, and giving sales tax rebates only to large “whales,” or big-box stores like Jewel-Osco and Meijer.

Incentives available to commercial and industrial business are extension of public utilities, tax-increment financing, bonds, village fees waivers, tax abatements or re-

bates, waiver or modification of village codes and assistance in acquiring parcels of land for development.

“This incentive policy generally reflects that previous practice or tradition, which has been generally successful for Plainfield,” Garrigan said.

Task force members discussed the effect on small business, which may not reach the 50 employee or $10 million revenue requirements.

“The challenge is that if we give a break to one dry cleaner, we’re being unfair to the other dry cleaners,” Murphy said as an example. He added that the village would work with a small business if it fills an identified economic leakage.

Other incentive changes include lowering density impact fees for residential developments, a slight increase in some tap-on fees and bringing

Jefferson Street bridge closes Friday until mid-October

Bridge open for Nitro Nite

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The three-month shutdown of the Jefferson Street bridge for a paint job scheduled to start Friday will raise questions of whether there isn’t a better way to cross the Des Plaines River in Joliet.

“What we have now isn’t working,” said Mayor Bob O’Dekirk, who would like to see more trouble-free access to downtown.

Bridge closures downtown – especially when maintenance projects extend weeks beyond scheduled end dates – typically generate talk about the need to find a better way across the river.

But no one has come up with ideas of how to replace the downtown drawbridges. The problem posed with standard bridges, built high enough that barges could pass under them, is that they would span downtown and bypass the business district.

Replacement cost is another factor.

Besides, the 1920s-era drawbridges, for all their trouble, do have a picturesque appeal.

“The tourists love them,” said Richard Fredrickson, interim manager for the Joliet City Center Partnership, which promotes the down-

The Jefferson Street bridge will be open for Nitro Nite, a downtown festival being held from 5 to 10 p.m.

Thursday in advance of the NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway this weekend. The state agreed to delay the start of work until Friday for the sake of Nitro Nite.

Afternoon traffic crosses the Jefferson Street bridge on Tuesday in Joliet. The bridge will close Friday for repairs and a new coat of paint. It is scheduled to reopen in October. town area.

But tourists, too, love the bridges most when they are open.

Fredrickson solicited the help of the city of Joliet in convincing the state, which maintains the bridges, to delay the Jefferson Street bridge closure until after Nitro Nite on Thursday, an event designed for local and out-oftown drag racing fans coming

for weekend races at Route 66 Raceway.

The city also is considering another change in the plans, seeking an alternative detour that would make Cass Street a two-way bridge for the duration of the Jefferson Street closing. O’Dekirk said the two-way alternative was requested by Harrah’s Casino, which contends the current detour will hurt business by

making it harder for customers to get to the casino.

The paint job

The Jefferson Street paint job is no ordinary task.

For one, it costs $950,000, according to the Illinois Department of Transportation.

Only the bottom portion of the bridge will be painted. It will be painted green to match the top part. The job is being

done by Venus Painting Co. “There is more involved than just painting,” according to an emailed statement from IDOT spokesman Guy Tridgell.

Here’s what IDOT said is involved in the work: • The bridge leaves will first be repositioned, braced and counterweighted so the painting can be performed; • About 54,000 square feet of steel surface area will be cleaned, some of it by hand, before it is painted; • Three coats of paint will be applied, and each coat must cured before the next can be applied; • Painting must closely follow the cleaning to prevent rust from developing on the surface, so only small areas of steel can be cleaned and painted at a time; • No cleaning or painting can be done in the rain, and

Route 30 detour in Plainfield to go into effect as soon as this weekend

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The planned detour of U.S. Route 30 between Renwick Road and Route 59 in Plainfield could go into effect as early as Saturday, the Illinois Department of Transportation announced Wednesday.

The detour will direct motorists traveling in either direction on Route 30 to use

Renwick Road and Route 59, according to a news release from IDOT. “As we remember with Route 59 [construction], everybody needs to hold their breath,” Plainfield Mayor Michael Collins said at a community meeting Wednesday.

Collins said Route 30 will be closed for all westbound traffic between Renwick and Route 59. Eastbound Route 30 will be

open for one lane from Route 59 to Collins Drive for local business and traffic only.

The detour will remain in place until late November, according to IDOT. The construction will likely lead to significant traffic congestion in downtown Plainfield during Plainfield Fest from July 17 to 19, Plainfield Police Chief John Konopek told residents at the communi-

ty meeting.

“You can imagine with Route 30 being closed, it’s going to exacerbate traffic more this year than in past years,” Konopek said, adding residents in the area will be given parking passes.

Immediately to the east, U.S. 30 between Renwick Road and Interstate 55 soon will be shifted south so construction can begin on the new westbound

lanes. Access to all businesses will be maintained during the project, according to IDOT. IDOT started construction in April on the $21 million reconstruction and widening of Route 30 between Interstate 55 and Route 59. The project has an anticipated completion date of summer 2017.

Updates on the impacts to traffic are available at www. travelmidwest.com.

Cullinan buys crossroads site Land once slated for Bridge Street Town Centre

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – A developer with a track record in retail and office construction has bought the 264 acres in Joliet once slated for the Bridge Street Town Centre shopping mall.

Cullinan Properties has not yet laid out a plan for the site at Interstates 55 and 80 but a spokeswoman said it likely is to be a mixed-use development.

“Our vision for this site is to start with a clean slate, while evaluating what is best for the city of Joliet, and the market reaction to a variety of uses,” Chief Operating Officer Christopher West said in a news release issued Wednesday afternoon by the company.

“We are very excited to acquire this property with such tremendous visibility and also being strategically located at the hub of I-55 and I-80, especially with our regional office in such close proximity to the site, which makes it an ideal location for us to develop,” he continued.

East Peoria-based Cullinan acquired the property from O & S Holdings, which bought it in 2008 for a lifestyle mall, hotels and offices. The plan stagnated when the recession arrived.

City officials have resisted previous proposals to develop the site for warehouses.

Cullinan’s portfolio includes retail, office, medical and multi-family properties,

“Our vision for this site is to start with a clean slate ...”

Christopher West Joliet chief operating officer

but little industrial space. One project in Morton combines industrial space with stores.

“What they’ve shown us that they’ve done in other areas has been very impressive,” Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said as the City Council discussed the matter this week.

The City Council voted Tuesday to end its development agreement with O & S Holdings, an action sought by

Cullinan before it completed the acquisition.

Councilwoman Jan Quillman said before voting to end the development agreement that she did not want to see warehouses on the site.

“That’s still a prime piece of property, although we’ll probably never get a lifestyle mall there,” Quillman said, referring to the Bridge Street Town Centre proposal.

The council vote does not obligate Cullinan to any particular type of development.

But O’Dekirk said city officials, when meeting with Cullinan representatives, warned against warehouse development.

“We made it clear that it would not pass the council as a

logistics plan,” he said.

City Manager Jim Hock said Cullinan will have to come to the council for approval for whatever project its proposes for the site. He noted the site does not have zoning for industrial development now.

“The property currently is zoned like our downtown for business,” Hock said. “They [Cullinan] want this to be as much commercial as possible.”

City officials recently considered a development proposal from Hillwood Investment Properties, a Texas-based developer of warehouse space, that set aside some space for commercial development. The council’s Economic Development Committee voted 2-1 to recommend the Hillwood proposal for approval, but the plan never came to the full City Council.

Joliet mayor releases transition report

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Bob O’Dekirk has released a 36page report from his transition committee outlining dozens of recommendations from improved snow plowing to what to do about Evergreen Terrace.

O’Dekirk, who became mayor in May, said the report was compiled by more than 40 members of his transition team and he would like to see some recommendations implemented.

“I don’t agree with everything in it. I agree with most of it,” he told the City Council on Tuesday, asking it to read the report and look for items for possible action by the city.

On the biggest topic of the day, Evergreen Terrace, the report recommends working with the current owners to improve the low-income housing

complex and warns against the costs of taking over the property.

Joliet has won a 10-year legal battle to condemn the property and is facing a Sept. 1 court deadline to pay the owners $15 million to take possession.

“The committee believes it would be prudent to work with the current owners of the property to create a redevelopment plan, such as taking money budgeted for legal work and repurpose the funds toward beautifying and repurposing the property,” the report says.

The report states the city, if it takes ownership, could spend about $70 million on Evergreen Terrace, a figure O’Dekirk has cited from one of the redevelopment plans being prepared by a consultant for city council review.

On snow removal, a hot topic in the mayoral election campaign, the report recommends

Transition Committee recommendations Q Evergreen Terrace: “... Work with current owners of the property to create a redevelopment plan.”

Q New Will County Courthouse: Share municipal costs “on a per capita basis with all other Will County municipalities.”

Q Rialto Square Theatre and Silver Cross Field: Both should become self-sufficient in five years.

Q CenterPoint Intermodal Center: Explore a red-light camera program to enforce traffic and truck safety.

Q Youth employment: “...Create a Summer Jobs for Youth program as well as experimental yearlong career development programs for teens.”

Q New revenue: Increase the real estate transfer tax but exempt Joliet residents relocating to another house in the city.

Q Economic development: Create an office for economic development and marketing strategy. Hire an economic development director. better use of resources but does not call for expansion of the existing snow plow crews.

“Due to the financial limitations of doubling the amount of plows and drivers, the city should optimize snow removal routes to maximize existing resources,” the report says.

The report does call for

the creation of a snow removal program for elderly and disabled residents, which O’Dekirk promised in campaign literature. It also says the city should clear snow from sidewalks in “vital commercial areas” and along school routes.

The report says Silver Cross

Field, which it calls “City of Joliet Slammer Stadium,” and the Rialto Square Theatre should become self-sufficient in five years.

“The city can no longer afford to provide substantial ongoing financial support year after year [to the Rialto],” the report says.

Regarding negotiations with the county, which wants Joliet to contribute $50 million to the construction of a new courthouse downtown, the report recommends the city share costs “on a per capita basis with all other Will County municipalities.”

Although some recommendations forge new ground, others mirror positions O’Dekirk took during the campaign.

The report is critical of the city’s economic development efforts, one of the mayor’s top campaign themes, and says, “The City lacks economic development vision.”

Kids get break from tornado recovery effort

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – Rain on Wednesday morning may have put a damper on the expected turnout, but Coal City-area children enjoyed a day of play at the park.

The Channahon Park District, with help from seven other area park districts, hosted “Kids Day at the Park” from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday at Coal City Elementary School, to benefit children affected by the EF3 tornado that damaged 884 properties last month.

Nicole Vaira, Channahon Park District program manager, said she lives in the area and realized many kids needed an opportunity to play and enjoy their summer.

One such case is Jarod Garrelts of Coal City, who said his mom learned from Facebook about the event and told him he should go.

The 13-year-old Garrelts, who was sporting a “Field of Dreams” T-shirt, said his family lost most of their house

“We’re just trying to make the best of the situation. We had a good turnout in terms of help.

Several people went home because of the rain.”

in the tornado. In the 16 days since the storm hit, the only outdoor activity that stood out to Garrelts was playing wiffle ball at his grandpa’s house.

“This is fun,” Garrelts said as he squeezed paint from tubes into a spin art machine.

As a piece of paper spins, different colors of paint cover it, creating a unique design for each person. No two spin art pieces are the same and the excitement of creating their own piece seemed to draw the largest crowd.

Martin Ramirez, 7, of Coal City was thrilled with the fin-

ished product.

“I’m an artist,” he shouted.

“I’ve got to do this again.”

The children moved around quite a bit. They played basketball, soccer, Monopoly, Jenga, Apples to Apples and bean bag toss.

Adam Steffes of the Wilmington Island Park District stepped up to be Ramirez’s partner in bean bag toss when his partner took off.

“We’re just trying to make the best of the situation,” Steffes said. “We had a good turnout in terms of help. Several people went home because of the rain.”

Steffes said Wilmington Island Park District staff saw the post on Facebook and reached out to participate. They were expecting more children with a clearer day, but Steffes said they’d be open to doing another one.

Vaira said the park districts’ definitely will consider hosting another “Kids Day at the Park” as the relief effort continues. If that does happen, Steffes hopes for better weather.

Pruitte says he found murder weapon on street

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The man who was caught with the gun authorities say was used in a 2012 slaying in Joliet told police he’d found it the day before the incident.

Daeviontae D. Pruitte, 21, told Detective John Ross he’d been walking near Cagwin and Center streets with a Daeviontae friend when he D. Pruitte found the .380 Taurus semi-automatic pistol.

“Those streets run parallel to each other, so I asked him to be more specific, but he couldn’t give an exact location,” Ross testified Wednesday at Pruitte’s murder trial.

Pruitte is accused of murder-

ing Timothy Egner, 54, on Aug. 1, 2012, outside Wendy’s, 104 N. Center St. in Joliet.

Prosecutors believe Pruitte and another shooter picked Egner, who was waiting in the parking lot to give an employee a ride home, as a random target and robbery was not a motive.

The night after Egner was killed, Pruitte was disrupting traffic while standing in the middle of Center Street and ran away when police officers approached. On Monday, tactical officer T.J. Gruber testified Pruitte tossed a handgun to the ground during a foot chase before he was caught. Pruitte later pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm by a street gang member.

On Tuesday, a firearms expert testified that gun was one of the weapons used to shoot Egner.

“I’ve only had the gun two days, man … that’s all.”

Daeviontae D. Pruitte from Detective John Ross’ interview

Some of Ross’ interview with Pruitte was recorded and shown Wednesday to Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes, who is presiding over the bench trial. Pruitte signed a waiver of his Miranda rights, the detective testified.

Ross said he asked Pruitte about his whereabouts when Egner was slain because of where he’d been arrested and similarities between the shell casings in the parking lot and the bullets in Pruitte’s gun.

“He could never be exactly clear on where he was. He said

What is an automatic standby generator?

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

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

PIERRO ELECTRIC (815) 744-1935 www.pierroelectric.com adno=0310922

he was at his aunt’s house that night, but may have went out to get something to eat,” Ross noted.

“I’ve only had the gun two days, man … that’s all,” Pruitte told Ross. Although that time frame would mean he had the pistol before Egner was killed, Pruitte does not clarify his answers during the interview.

The recording shows Pruitte spent much of the interview resting his arms and head on a table while giving short answers to Ross’ questions.

About 30 minutes after the shooting at Wendy’s, Pruitte was a passenger in a car that was pulled over by Will County Sheriff’s deputies near Cass and Collins streets. A deputy testified he frisked the three occupants and searched the Buick, but did not find any weapons.

Ross said Wednesday he

learned of that traffic stop while Pruitte was at the police station and obtained a search warrant for the car.

During the detective’s testimony, Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Mike Fitzgerald also played a recording of a phone call Pruitte made from the county jail two months after his arrest on the weapons charge.

Pruitte called a woman at a number in the 815 area code and discusses his next court date and bond amount. His tone changes from conversational to concerned when he learns police have seized the Buick, according to the recording.

“I don’t know [why it’s not returned] … they say it’s on camera,” the woman tells Pruitte.

“What camera?” he asks before changing the subject.

ORLAND PARK

Special Spaces gives teen’s room a makeover “I love it. It’s one thing to fundraise, but to see it up close and see the expression from the girl that this will make her happy is great.”

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com ORLAND PARK – Ashley Gustafik was ecstatic to see the vivid look of her new room – all thanks to the hard work of volunteers and funds from several organizations and people, including a Joliet teacher.

Gustafik, 15, of Orland Park has dealt with health issues, including leukemia, since she was 6 months old. Special Spaces, a nonprofit organization that creates dream bedrooms for children with life-threatening medical conditions, decided to step in to create her a new bedroom.

Throughout Wednesday more than 20 volunteers came together to transform what used to be a dining room in her house into a room filled with shades of blue and a desk with art supplies.

As she came into the room evening – right after volunteers hurriedly put together the finishing touches – she clasped her mouth and looked surprised by what she saw.

“It’s awesome,” she said, an assessment echoed by her mother, Jennifer McCasland.

A sign above the doorway read “Families are forever,” and another on Gustafik’s new white closet said “Be strong, you never know who you are inspiring.” Special Spaces volunteers gave her a room with white furniture, hardwood floor and a desk with materials to allow her to pursue her passion in the arts.

BELOW: People with Special Spaces work Wednesday to renovate Gustafik’s room.

Special Spaces gathered donations for the projects from people, groups and foundations, including Adventist Midwest Health and Jennifer Galloy, a Joliet Township High School teacher. Kelly Knox, state director for Special Spaces, said her organization helped Galloy’s son receive a room makeover about two years ago and she wanted to give back.

Some people from organizations who donated were at Gustafik’s home to help paint the room, assemble furniture and other tasks.

“I love it. It’s one thing to fundraise, but to see it up close and see the expression from the girl that this will make her happy is great,” said Salina Contreras, Adventist Midwest Health administrative assistant.

Marlo Steinke, of Tinley Park, a Special Spaces associate director, said her father knew Gustafik’s grandmother and that is how they gave her the opportunity for a room makeover. “[Ashley] is a very sweet girl, a very loving girl. We’re so excited to do this for her,” she said.

McCasland said her daughter, who is a part-time student at Carl Sandburg High School, had a relapse recently for the fourth time with leukemia.

She said the room makeover gave Ashley something to look forward to. She enjoyed the art materials her daughter received.

“That art stuff is going to be good for her, too,” McCasland said.

PLAINFIELD – Tears gathered in the eyes of state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant as she told Plainfield residents Wednesday morning the story of helping a local senior couple find a new place to live.

Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, broke down as she recounted how a longtime Plainfield resident lost his job in 2008, then went back and got hurt. In the meantime, his wife was diagnosed with cancer and had to quit her job. Both were living on Social Security and had to move from their home into an apartment.

Bertino-Tarrant said she ended up helping them find a place in Marseilles.

“It’s so touching. It’s hard,” she said about voting on and fighting for funding of senior and other services in the state budget. “And we get beat up. ... I take this very seriously. I hear these things and it humbles you.”

Bertino-Tarrant was a guest Wednesday during the monthly Plainfield Coffee with the Mayor. She commented on the state budget impasse and answered questions about the local impact.

“I am not alone in saying this is a very, very unusual year,” Bertino-Tarrant said about her third year in Springfield. “Down there, it’s becoming more partisan. We have a very wealthy governor not afraid to say, ‘It’s my way or I’m coming after you.’ ” Bertino-Tarrant compared Gov. Bruce Rauner as the Illinois Republicans’ version of House Speaker Michael Madigan, who has been known to have a far-reaching influence on state Democrats.

“Government is a service, not a business, as much as we’d like to think otherwise,” Bertino-Tarrant said.

Bertino-Tarrant was asked by a resident and village official what the budget stalemate means for the Route 30 construction project, which is soon closing the street from Route 59 to Renwick Road.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police in Joliet are searching for two men who allegedly killed a dog with a firecracker Tuesday.

At 10:50 a.m. the men were

lighting off fireworks in the alley of the 200 block of East Jackson Street, according to Joliet Police Lt. Kevin LaBolle.

“The fireworks got the attention and agitated a nearby pit bull who picked up one of the lit fireworks in its mouth,”

LOCAL NEWS | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

Police: Dog killed by firecracker LaBolle said. “It went off – dropping the animal to the ground.”

The owner reportedly witnessed the incident and called police.

LaBolle said Wednesday investigators were seeking the two men for questioning.

Rabid bat found in Homer Glen home West Little Creek Drive home.

No human exposures were documented and no pets live on-site, according to the news release.

All four of the 2015 Will County wildlife rabies confirmations have involved bats.

The other county cases were confirmed from Joliet, Plainfield, and Frankfort.

Rabies is a usually fatal viral disease which attacks the central nervous system. The virus is present in the saliva, brain tissue, and spinal fluid of an infected warm-blooded animal.

HOMER GLEN – A bat trapped with the aid of a bucket this week in Homer Glen has become Will County’s fourth confirmed case of rabies so far this year, according to a Will County Health Department.

A resident in the 13000 block of West Little Creek Drive in Homer Glen first noticed the bat near his garage on Monday, according to a news release from the county health department. The resident “watched the bat flop

into the garage” before trapping the creature with a bucket and calling Will County Animal Control.

Will County Animal Control transported the bat by courier to the Illinois Department of Public Health laboratory complex in Chicago late Monday and a rabies confirmation was received the next day.

“It’s usually a pretty quick turn around,” Vic Reato, spokesman with the Will County Health Department, said Wednesday.

Farmers Market introduces evening markets with a twist SPONSORED BY

Downtown Joliet’s Farmers Market is back, and better than ever! On Friday, June 19, Joliet City Center Partnership (CCP) started hosting the 2015 Farmers Market season with changes you will not want to miss! Morning markets will run every Friday from 10-2 on Chicago Street from June 19th to September 25th.

On top of bringing in innovative new vendors for 2015, CCP has scheduled 3 evening markets. Evening markets will run from 5-10pm on June 24, July 15, and August 12.

“We’re very excited about the evening markets this year,” said Karen Ward, Farmers Market Manager. “We have 20 vendors so far, and we’re hopeful to have more. There’s something for everyone!”

CCP and Chicago Street Pub have joined forces to bring premium entertainment and local breweries to the streets of Downtown Joliet for each evening market. The Joliet Brewers Guild will also be in attendance for craft beer demonstrations

and tastings.

Evening market appearances are as follows: · June 24 – The Righteous Hillbillies & Lagunitas Brewing Co. · July 15 – John Condron and The Old Gang Orchestra & Pollyanna Brewing Co. · August 12 – The Regressors & Blue Island Beer Co. At each market, shoppers will find more than just produce.

Vendors will be offering homemade items such as soaps, jams and jellies, salsa and pickled products, baked goods, jewelry, organic meats and more!

Downtown Joliet restaurants will be open during market hours. Don’t forget to stop in and support your local businesses after visiting the market.

October end date has factored in contingencies Continued from page 3 high humidity can stop work; • Paint cannot be applied if air or steel temperature is too low; • Some of the painting can only be done from a barge, and that barge must stay clear of traffic on the river.

IDOT said crews will work at least five days a week, often more, depending on the weather.

The mid-October completion date is an estimate, Tridgell said.

“There is some cushion built in for weather and other contingencies, but not much,” he said.

Future bridge closures

IDOT also is making plans to paint the Cass Street bridge in 2016.

In the meantime, several maintenance closures or lane closures are planned for this fall. No more than one bridge will be closed at one time, IDOT said. More specific schedules will be released later, but the plan for the 2015 work is: • Ruby Street bridge will remain open with some daytime

lane closures for one week in early August; • Cass Street will be closed for one week after the Jefferson Street bridge is done; • McDonough Street will have daytime lane closures one week in early October; • Brandon Road will be closed for one week in October; • Jackson Street will be closed for two weeks in late November and early December.

After the Jefferson Street bridge is painted, IDOT plans what Tridgell termed “minor closures – a week or so” on other downtown bridges for electrical repairs. A schedule

was not available for those closures.

IDOT eventually wants to equip the downtown bridges so they can be operated from a central location, rather than having tenders at individual bridges. When that happens, each bridge will have to be closed for two months to be equipped for centralized operation.

There is no specific schedule for the work yet, although Tridgell said the centralization project is slated for the latter part of IDOT’s multi-year program, which runs from 2016 to 2021.

The city also is considering seeking an alternative detour for the Jefferson Street bridge closing. But the current detour is as follows: Q Jefferson Street detour: starts at Raynor Avenue; Raynor south to McDonough Street; McDonough bridge east over the river to Chicago Street; Chicago north to Jefferson.

Q Plainfield Road detour: starts at Theodore Street; Theodore east to Broadway Street; Broadway south to Ruby Street; Ruby bridge east over the river to Chicago Street; Chicago south to Ottawa Street; Ottawa south to Jefferson.

He worked as a draftsman/designer for Argo Corn Products (now Unilever), retiring 35 years later. During his years at Argo, he also worked several extra jobs, teaching Joliet plumbers and pipefitters the reading of blueprints and creating home drawings for Architect Levon Seron, to ensure his children had a good education and Ethel could remain a full time mother and homemaker.

Msgr. Gregory Cloos joined Domenic and Ethel in marriage on February 22, 1941 at the Church of St. Anthony, Joliet.

as Msgr. Gregory Cloos’s “right-hand man”.

Domenic was a life-time member of the Irving Athletic Club, former Boy Scout Leader, member of the Elks Club and Moose Lodge.

Dom enjoyed meeting his friends at Spesia’s First & Last Chance on South Chicago Street. Domenic enjoyed golfing and especially loved fishing with his family, sisters and brothersin-law on Stony Lake in Minnesota.

Dad would not let a day go by without crediting mom for his longevity, thankful for her devotion and the love of his family. He was a loving and devoted husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather; always willing to help family and friends. Domenic lived his life setting a great example of love and faith for his family and friends.

The family would like to thank the staff of Joliet Area Community Hospice, especially Laurie, Margie, Michelle, and Anna.

Longtime Hollywood producer Jerry Weintraub dies at 77

By JAKE COYLE The Associated Press NEW YORK – One of the last of the classic Hollywood showmen, Jerry Weintraub built his show business empire on a Rolodex and chutzpah.

The Brooklyn-born son of a Bronx jeweler, Weintraub rose from the mailroom of a talent agency to become a top concert promoter before shifting into a decades-long career as a top Hollywood producer.

Along the way, Weintraub worked with the most famous of stars – Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, George Clooney, Brad Pitt – and was a close friend of former President George H.W. Bush. He relished his insider status, just as they savored the stories that eagerly poured out of him.

Weintraub, the dynamic producer and manager who pushed the career of John

Denver and produced such hits movies as “Nashville,” “Karate Kid” and “Ocean’s Eleven,” died Monday in Santa Barbara, California. He was 77. A publicist for Weintraub said he died of cardiac arrest.

“Jerry was an American original who earned his success by the sheer force of his instinct, drive, and larger-than-life personality,” said Bush, a longtime friend.

“He had a passion for life, and throughout the ups and downs of his prolific career, it was clear just how much he loved show business.”

“In the coming days there will be tributes about our friend Jerry Weintraub,” said Clooney. “We’ll laugh at his great stories and applaud his accomplishments. And in the years to come, the stories and accomplishments will get better with age, just as Jerry would have wanted it. But not today. Today our friend died.”

Connected marijuana lobbyist to push for program’s future

CHICAGO – A new group has formed to push for policies in Springfield favorable to the medical marijuana industry with a well-connected former Illinois Department of Agriculture employee as its top lobbyist.

Bresha Brewer stopped being a state worker just ahead of new ethics rules imposed by Gov. Bruce Rauner that would have prevented her from immediately going into lobbying and becoming part of a “revolving door” of former state employees who leave to become lobbyists. Brewer now is executive director of the Medical Cannabis Alliance of Illinois, which launched this week.

With Brewer’s involvement, the group hopes to play an influential role as lawmakers determine whether medical marijuana has a future in Illinois.

The alliance represents 39 companies – the bulk of the businesses with state permits to grow and sell marijuana in a pilot program that expires after 2017.

Suburban Chicago girl, 12, dies in ATV accident

NOKOMIS – Officials said a 12-year-old far-west suburban girl has died after an ATV crash in central Illinois.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office said Isabella S. Erickson of Montgomery was driving an ATV and her father was a passenger when the vehicle left a roadway, struck a tree and turned over. The accident

happened Saturday near the city of Nokomis.

The Chicago Sun-Times said the girl and her father were flown to a Springfield hospital about 43 miles away. The girl was pronounced dead, and her father remained hospitalized.

School District 308 Superintendent Matthew Wendt said the girl was a student at Plank Junior High School in Oswego.

The school district said crisis counselors will be available.

Bloomingdale man was pilot who died in small plane crash

BARTLETT – Authorities have identified a pilot who died when a small aircraft crashed Friday in a Bartlett-area forest preserve.

The DuPage County Coroner’s Office on Tuesday said 61-year-old Michael Sandman

of Bloomingdale was the only person aboard the aircraft.

The Cessna 172 crashed just before 4 p.m.

The coroner’s office used dental records to identify Sandman. The office said he died of multiple traumatic injuries from the crash.

The plane was registered to the Fox Flying Club, which is based at the DuPage Airport.

The National Transportation Safety Board had said the pilot reported a rudder control problem to air traffic controllers. Federal authorities were continuing to investigate.

New report details urban flooding problems in state

SPRINGFIELD – Urban flooding in Illinois is most common in older parts of towns and has been made worse by urbaniza-

tion and changes in climate, according to a new state report.

The report, which was released Tuesday and prepared by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources in collaboration with other state agencies, details the extent, cost, prevalence and policies related to urban flooding. It also identifies resources and technology that can help lessen its impact.

Between 2007 and 2014, urban flooding in Illinois caused more than $2.3 billion in damages, with at least $1.2 billion stemming from basement flooding and sewer backups, the report said.

It also said that much of the urban flooding during that time period happened in areas with older storm water drainage systems.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS similar to the state flag – beside Plane crash is 2nd fatal tragedy for family in week the monument to Confederate

MONCKS CORNER, S.C. – A collision between a small plane and an F-16 fighter jet that killed a father and son was the second fatal tragedy to strike their family in just four days, a relative told The Associated Press.

Michael Johnson and his son, Joseph, died when the Cessna 150 flown by the younger Johnson was torn apart Tuesday in the accident with the jet.

On Saturday, Michael Johnson’s brother and sister-in-law were found dead at their home in Missouri. The couple’s 16-yearold grandson has been charged with second-degree murder in the slayings, police said.

Millions touched by story of girl found dead in harbor This flier, released July 2 by the Suffolk County Massachusetts District Attorney’s Office, includes a computer-generated composite image depicting the possible likeness of a young girl whose body was found June 25 in Boston Harbor inside a bag.

By DENISE LAVOIE The Associated Press BOSTON – In her computer-generated image, she is the picture of innocence: a 4-year-old girl with long brown hair, chubby cheeks and expressive brown eyes.

The image has reached a staggering 47 million people on Facebook as investigators try to identity the child whose remains were found on a Boston Harbor beach nearly two weeks ago.

The mystery of Baby Doe began June 25, when a woman walking her dog on the western shore of Deer Island called 911 and reported finding a trash bag containing the girl’s body. The child was wearing white leggings with black polka dots. Inside the bag with her remains was a zebra-print blanket.

Police immediately appealed to the public for help in identifying the girl. Using photos of her remains, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children created a composite image of what the girl may have looked like when she was alive.

After that image and photos of the leggings and blanket were posted on the Massachusetts State Police Facebook page, investigators were astonished by the attention the posting received. As of Wednesday morning, the post had been liked by more than 50,000 people and shared more than 615,000 times.

But authorities still haven’t identified the girl.

“It has by far shattered our previous record for Facebook views,” said Jake Wark, a spokesman for Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley, whose office is overseeing the investigation.

Adding to the mystery is that investigators still haven’t been able to figure out how she died. There were no obvious signs of trauma

AP photo

to her body, and an autopsy performed by the state medical examiner’s office did not determine the manner or cause of her death.

Conley said Tuesday authorities are awaiting the results of toxicology tests to determine if the girl was poisoned or ingested drugs.

She weighed 30 pounds and was about 3½ feet tall.

Her body was reasonably intact but had a modest amount of decomposition. Authorities won’t say how long they believe she had been dead by the time her remains were discovered.

They also don’t know if the girl lived in Massachusetts or came from another state. They will not say whether the trash bag containing her body washed up on shore or was left on the beach by someone.

Investigators have received “dozens and dozens” of tips from the public, and those leads have prompted police to check on the well-being of 20 girls in the same age range. All of those girls were found safe and sound.

Conley said the outpouring of support by people who have shared the girl’s image

on social media is gratifying and gives him confidence that her identity eventually will be determined.

During a news conference Tuesday, Conley spoke directly to the girl’s parents or caretakers: “Please step forward, clear your conscience and help us identify this young child.”

Conley would not elaborate on whether the child’s parents or caretakers are a focus of the investigation and said authorities don’t know if the girl’s death was an accident or a crime.

Her death and the mystery surrounding her identity have touched a chord in many people. State police say their Facebook posting on the girl has received more than 10 times the views of their previous highest post.

People from Maine to California, Canada and Puerto Rico have shared the posting, with many of them expressing sorrow or anger over the girl’s death.

“How can someone just throw a child away?” wrote one woman from Arizona.

“This is just horrible, no one is missing this little angel!” wrote another woman from Clovis, California.

Bad day for geeks: Tech woes plague United, NYSE, WSJ

Gov. Bruce Rauner comments on the budget stalemate during a news conference Wednesday outside his Capitol office in Springfield.

Rauner tells lawmakers he’ll trade taxes for ‘turnaround’

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner said Wednesday he is willing to raise taxes if the General Assembly agrees to his alterations of the Illinois legal and political landscape, but he nixed the idea of a stop-gap funding plan before Democratic lawmakers even teed it up.

The Republican made his most explicit promise on trading his agenda for a tax hike while speaking to reporters outside his state Capitol office.

He announced what he called compromises on his plans to make the Prairie State friendlier to business and wring the corruption out of politics.

Democrats were unimpressed. Neither they nor Rauner appeared to be on a path that seemed likely to converge soon.

The 2016 fiscal year is more than a week old, and there’s still no authority for state government to pay bills. For months, Democrats have been behind a $36 billion spending plan they said covers “vital services” but which would outspend anticipated revenue by as much as $4 billion.

They want more revenue, but Rauner said he won’t talk taxes until he gets approval for such changes as limiting liability lawsuit payouts and restricting compensation for

injured workers to promote business investment and job creation.

Rauner had a retort when reminded Wednesday that his opponents said those initiatives cut into Democrats’ “core beliefs.”

“I don’t like taxes, period.

I don’t want to ever raise taxes. I’m willing to do it as part of reform,” the conservative businessman said. “I’m willing to do something that goes against my core beliefs. I can ask the folks on the other side of the aisle to vote for some things they’d rather not vote for.”

Later, the House Executive Committee readied for a Thursday floor vote a $2.3 billion short-term budget, allowing the state to get through July while talks continue.

Rauner dismissed it as “a mistake” that just creates the Democrats’ “$4 billion deficit one month at a time.”

The legislation’s sponsor, Majority Leader Barbara Flynn Currie, D-Chicago, rebuffed the notion, saying it covered only police protection and other emergency functions and services that “are provided in many cases by organizations that don’t have the wherewithal to wait around and see if the state will finally pay the bill.”

Currie said Rauner is “holding hostage” critical operations while he tries to force

conversation on his “turnaround agenda,” whittled to five key changes and that include a property-tax freeze, term limits and unbiased political redistricting.

He signaled for the first time he might settle for less than all. Asked whether the Legislature must approve his measures or just put them up for votes, Rauner said, “They need to pass some of them.”

Rauner’s compromise would include looser demands for restrictions on how liability lawsuits may proceed, for example.

He added to his workers’ compensation and property-tax freeze proposals suggestions from Chicago Democratic Senate President John Cullerton. And he offered up an overhauled plan for cutting state and local pension liabilities, although he said they’re not tied to budget negotiations.

But basic tenets – such as more explicit proof that workers’ compensation is justified by an injury’s link to the workplace – remain unchanged.

Cullerton spokeswoman Rikeesha Phelon lamented the alterations appear superficial.

“It’s sort of amazing he hasn’t yet recognized how totally unpersuasive he’s been on these issues,” added Steve Brown, spokesman for Chicago Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan.

NEW YORK – It was a rough day for tech: The nation’s biggest airline, its oldest stock exchange and its most prominent business newspaper all suffered technology problems that upended service for parts of the day.

Government officials said it did not appear the incidents were related, or the result of sabotage, counter to an endless stream of jokes and conspiracy theories posted on Facebook and Twitter – and even the suspicions of FBI director James Comey.

“In my business, you don’t love coincidences,” Comey told Congress Wednesday. “But it does appear that there is not a cyber intrusion involved.”

First, a “router issue” at United Airlines suspended all of the company’s flights for nearly two hours, leading to 800 flight delays and 60 cancellations. Then, at 11:32 a.m., a “technical problem” at the New York Stock Exchange halted trading. In the midst of that, the Wall Street Journal’s website, WSJ.com, had “technical difficulties” that sent readers to a temporary site while the paper worked to fix the problem.

“The problem is humans can’t keep up with all the technology they have created,” said Avivah Litan, an analyst at Gartner. “It’s becoming unmanageable by the human brain. Our best hope may be that computers eventually will become smart enough to maintain themselves.”

Technology makes life easier and the economy more efficient, allowing for nearly instantaneous flow of information and communication and for remote control of far-flung operations.

Until it fails. And technology problems like Wednesday’s that temporarily

“In my business, you don’t love coincidences. But it does appear that there is not a cyber intrusion involved.”

James Comey FBI director knock out vital services and conveniences of modern life are likely to become more common as computers and other electronic devices increasingly connect together over the Internet.

For United, it was the second major technical issue in two months. On June 2 the airline had to halt all takeoffs in the U.S. because of what it described as computer automation issues.

It may be that we are rushing to push technology into business operations and our daily lives before it is fully ready, experts caution.

Lillian Ablon, a technology researcher for the Rand Corp. says the confluence of breakdowns should be interpreted as a wake-up call to companies and engineers to program their networks to protect them against inevitable glitches and malicious attacks by outsiders.

“Instead of just letting the technology rush ahead of us and then trying to catch up in terms of privacy and security, we should be baking those things into the systems from the start,” she said. “We need to be a little smarter on how we are coding things.”

The length of Wednesday’s outages also is disconcerting, Gartner’s Litan said.

It took the New York Stock Exchange until 3:10 p.m. – just over 3½ hours – to resume trading. “I think everyone needs to assume technology is going to go down sometimes, but you should be resilient enough to quickly recover from the outage within a half hour, if not a few minutes,” Litan said.

OUR VIEW

Measure would fight abuse, neglect, theft in nursing homes We support a bill in Springfield that would allow for video and audio monitoring devices in nursing homes to help combat and prove abuse.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office said Illinois has more than 860 nursing homes with more than 76,000 residents. Those numbers likely will increase as the state’s population ages. As a result, the about 5,000 complaints a year of abuse, neglect or theft of property by nursing home staff also is likely to increase. The Illinois Department of Public Health found 106 allegations to be valid in 2013.

Allowing residents to install audio or recording devices in their nursing home rooms should help deter abuse of nursing home residents. It also should help prove incidents of abuse, neglect or theft that

might have been swept aside in the past because of a lack of evidence.

One key part of the bill makes it fair and not an invasion of personal privacy: All residents in a room would have to approve the installation of a camera. If one resident wants it installed but a roommate does not, then the camera will not be installed.

The legislation (House Bill 2462) also prohibits a nursing home from retaliating against anyone for using the devices.

Three other states allow for the use of audio and recording devices in nursing home rules. The bill is awaiting a signature from Gov. Bruce Rauner.

We urge Rauner to follow suit and sign this piece of legislation, which would help fight abuse, neglect and theft in Illinois nursing homes.

Back to basics with a more functional Washington Somewhere in the rainbow celebrations and dissensions of late, we may have missed something.

Pope Francis gave us a clue as to what that missing something is when, just a few days before the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, he issued an encyclical on creation. He looked to scripture and saints such as his namesake, Francis, to provide us with a lens with which we might see ourselves and the world differently – as gifts.

When we see everything in the world as a gift, we have a new relationship with the world.

In a piece in the Catholic newspaper OSV Newsweekly, Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz, the president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, pointed out the challenge to freedom that now looms: “[T]he freedom to run our ministries and participate in

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

the public square while holding to the teachings of Jesus will likely be challenged,” with “laws and regulations” that “could threaten the life and work of the Church as well as other religious institutions and individuals of faith.”

He urged patience and courage in being “absolutely committed to what Christ has taught us,” adding, at the same time: “let us also speak and act with love, attracting people to the beauty of God’s design while keeping our hearts close to Christ in prayer.”

I visited Kurtz last summer at his home in Louisville, Kentucky – on a picture-perfect block where the concrete never obscures the green.

During the conversation, he pointed to George Washington and a little book on civility that compiles the rules the

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez first president of the United States tried to live by.

My friend and National Review colleague, Richard Brookhiser, edited an edition of these civility guides and writes: “There is a special reason why Washington’s ‘Rules of Civility’ are not taken seriously today – and that is the withering of the ambition to be great, and the belief that greatness is possible.”

So how can we be great?

Even in these times of globalized indifference, hyper-connectedness and aggressive detachment, achievement and destruction, clarity and confusion, overload and crisis?

Here are some of Washington’s rules:

“Every action done in company ought to be done with some sign of respect to those that are present.”

“Sleep not when others speak, sit not when others stand, speak not when you should hold your peace, walk not on when others stop.”

“Read no letters, books, or papers in company, but when there is a necessity for the doing of it you must ask to leave. Come not near the books or writings of another so as to read them unless desired, or give your opinion of them unasked.”

This one might be the end of reality TV if taken too seriously: “Reproach none for the infirmities of nature, nor delight to put them that have in mind thereof.”

“Strive not with your superiors in argument, but always submit your judgment to others with modesty.”

Modesty is such a lonely word, as Billy Joel might sing.

Here’s an important one: “When you speak of God or his attributes, let it be seriously and with reverence.”

Finally: “Labour to keep alive in your breast that little spark of celestial fire called conscience.”

We are very far away from these precepts at this present moment, but perhaps we can restore some civility again.

By doing so, we might give ourselves a chance to take a look around and see what we have been given. It might change the way we live and conduct our lives and even politics.

That’s the approach Joliet Slammers manager Jeff Isom was ready to take after his squad’s performance Wednesday morning against the Frontier Greys.

The Slammers allowed seven runs through four innings and managed to collect only two hits as they fell, 10-1, in a Frontier League game before a predominantly youthful crowd of 2,063 at Silver Cross Field.

For the second straight game, the Greys (20-24) received an excellent performance from their starter, who only allowed one earned run.

Just a day after Jordan Kraus held the Slammers to only three hits in a losing effort, winner Justin D’Alessandro yielded one less hit during his six innings of work.

Although D’Alessandro walked six batters, he also struck out eight, with seven Slammers (21-26) getting called out on strikes. Brent Choban gave up one hit in two innings, and Brett Shankin retired the side in the final frame.

“It was one of those games, and it happens,” Isom said.

“We have to move on and put this one behind us and focus on winning the series tomorrow. I always say that baseball players have to have a short memory.

“We got in trouble in the third inning when we gave up a base hit and hit a couple of guys before they got a jam shot that got through. Their pitcher did the job and took advantage of a strike zone that was bigger, but we have to do a better job of putting the ball in play.”

Things started to unravel for Joliet in the third inning when they Greys scored four times with only one ball leaving the infield. Starter Kevin Walter hurt his cause by hitting two batters before walking Julio Rodriguez with the bases loaded to make it a 1-0 game. Brandon Tierney (2 for 5) followed with a two-run

Joliet got its only run in the bottom of the third when Charlie White reached on a fielder’s choice, took second on an error and scored on Mike Garza’s single to right.

But the Greys responded with three more runs in the fourth against Walter, who allowed only five hits in five innings but also gave up five earned runs.

Each of three relievers also were touched for runs, as the Greys added solo home runs from Dillon Haupt and Jhiromar Veras (2 for 3). Alfredo Rodriguez collected the Slammers’ other hit, another single, in the eighth inning.

It was the third game in the last four that Joliet collected three or fewer hits. They had only one hit in the second game of Saturday’s twin bill at

Washington.

Frontier League commissioner Bill Lee, who has been in that post since 1994, was on hand for the game and talked about Joliet’s presence in the circuit.

“We like having Joliet in the league,” Lee said. “With the ball park that’s here and the geographics, everything is just great for us. To basically have the four teams in the

Chris Franklin and everyone else here is doing a great job to make this is the best that it can possibly be. We want to make sure that they’re here for the long term and is on a good, solid footing, and we’re making strides towards that.”

JOLIET – Erica Enders has a soft spot for Route 66 Raceway, and with good reason.

Several memorable moments have occurred at the Joliet track for Enders, who made history last year by becoming the first woman to win a world championship in the NHRA’s Pro Stock division and only the third female to win a pro title in the Mello Yello Series.

The recent nominee for an ESPY Award for best driver in all of racing looks to be headed for another big season after sitting in second place in points this year with 1,005 – 60 behind division leader Greg Anderson.

Enders hopes to bounce back from a disappointing first-round exit after being the top qualifier last week at Norwalk, Ohio, when she competes in this weekend’s Lucas Oil Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway, where she claimed her initial Pro Stock victory.

“I look forward to racing at Route 66 Raceway every year,” Enders said. “Chicago holds a special place in my heart, as it was the site of my first final-round appearance in 2005 as well as my long-awaited first Pro Stock Win in 2012.

“On a personal level, Chicago is special to me because my now-husband, Richie Stevens, proposed to me following that first Pro Stock win at the finish line. We are hoping to continue our great start to the 2015 season by collecting another Wally at Route 66.”

A year ago, she won six times, culminating things with a victory over Jason Line in the winnertake-all final competition at Pomona, California, joining Shirley Muldowney (Top Fuel) and Angelle Sampey (Pro Stock Motorcycle) as the NHRA’s only women champions.

This season, she has claimed victories at Bristol, Tennessee, and Topeka, Kansas, and won back-to-back races at Houston and Las Vegas. She repeated as a champion at Bristol, Houston and Las Vegas but was unable to defend her title at Norwalk.

But although Enders is enjoying another successful campaign, the big news in Pro Stock involves Anderson, the world champion in the division from 2003 to 2005 and

again in 2010.

He’s also won four times this season. His initial victory at Gainesville, Florida, was his first since the 2012 campaign, which was also the last time that he led Pro Stock in points. In 2011, Anderson, who ranks third in Pro Stock wins, took top honors in the race at Route 66.

After second-place efforts at Atlanta and Topeka, Anderson won back-to-back races at Englishtown, New Jersey, and Epping, New Hampshire, and then claimed top honors again last week at Norwalk.

Sitting in third place in the points standings is Line, with 900.

Last year’s runner-up in Pro Stock won world championships in 2006 and 2011. Line owns victories this season at Atlanta and Pomona.

He’s a three-time winner at Route 66 Raceway and took second place in the event a year ago.

Chris McGaha is fourth in points with 831. Drew Skillman (666), Larry Morgan (629), Allen Johnson (622) and Shane Gray (615) are next in line. Last year’s winner at Joliet, Vincent Nobile, ranks ninth in the points battle with 597 at the midpoint of the schedule.

MEN’S TRACK AND FIELD

Minooka’s McAsey helps Illini to Big Ten title

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com Joe McAsey makes history every year for the University of Illinois men’s track and field team.

Last year, the Minooka graduate won the Big Ten title in the 800-meter run, turning in the ninth-fastest time in school history. He also was a member of the second-place 1,600 relay team and helped the Illini to a second-place finish at the conference meet for the second year in a row. He also qualified for the NCAA Championships at Hayward Field on the University of Oregon campus.

This season, at Michigan State University, McAsey was a key figure for the Illini as they won their first Big Ten title since 1994. He finished second to Penn State’s Brannon Kidder in the 800 and teamed with Cam Viney, David Kendziera and D.J. Zahn to win the 1,600 relay. After that, he qualified for the NCAA Championships again, where he finished 24th.

“This was a good year,” McAsey said. “The team won the Big Ten title, which was our main goal heading into the year. We had been second the last two years, so we knew we were right there. We knew we were ready to do something.

“Everything just came together that day. The seniors [who] had been there since 2011 did great. All the field events and all the running events just had great performances, and we got the win as a team. Being on a team that won a Big Ten title is something I will never forget.”

Although McAsey didn’t repeat as conference champ in the 800, he wasn’t disappointed.

“I was pretty happy with that result,” he said. “The guy who beat me [Kidder] is a great runner. He went on and got second in the NCAAs. It was a very tough race. It came down to the last stretch, and he was a little bit faster than me. It definitely gives me something to come back and shoot for next year.”

On the other hand, McAsey’s relay team went from Big Ten

“The 4x4 relay was great to be a part of,” he said. “It’s different because of the team aspect. It was fun to be on it with D.J. [Zahn]. We came in as freshmen the same year, and we were on that relay that year and didn’t score a point in the Big Ten meet. This year, we were the Big Ten champions. It’s awesome to be a part of that.”

McAsey also got to run at Hayward Field for the second year in a row. For track and field athletes, performing at Hayward – the former home of legendary coach Bill Bowerman and track notables such as Steve Prefontaine, Mac Wilkins and Alberto Salazar – is the equivalent of playing baseball at Yankee Stadium or football at Lambeau Field.

“It’s great just being at Hayward,” he said. “There’s so much history there, plus you have the best athletes in the nation that you get to compete against.”

A welcome sight for McAsey

this year at U of I was his sister, Moira. She is a freshman who runs for the Illini women’s track team.

“I saw her at least once a day,” he said. “We would usually see each other before or after practice. I hadn’t seen her that much for a couple of years, with me being away at school and her at home, so it’s nice to have her down here.”

Before he heads back to Champaign, McAsey plans to take couple weeks off from running before beginning his training. He won’t lack companionship, because he still remains in touch with high school teammates Danny Bahret, who ran for University of St. Francis, and Dan Popek, who runs for Augustana.

“It’s pretty cool that we stay in touch and work out together,” he said. “Before you know it, the indoor season is going to be here, so I have to start getting my miles in. I want to get McAsey was a part of the winning 4x6,000-meter relay team and finanother Big Ten title and get ished second in the 800 run to help the University of Illinois’ men’s track and field team win the Big Ten outdoor title. back to the NCAAs.”

Rory McIlroy pulls out of British Open

By DOUG FERGUSON The Associated Press The photo Rory McIlroy posted to Instagram on Wednesday shows his feet up, a black air cast around his left ankle, as he watches Wimbledon on television. The claret jug was positioned beneath the screen.

When it comes to a Grand Slam championship in his own sport, the world’s No. 1 golfer will be reduced to watching this year.

Two days after the stunning news that he ruptured a ligament in his left ankle, McIlroy pulled out of the British Open at St. Andrews, the first time in 61 years that the defending champion will not be in the field.

He injured his ankle over the weekend playing soccer with friends in Northern Ireland. McIlroy held out hope he could still make it to St. Andrews next week, but he decided it was not worth risking a full recovery.

“After much consideration, I have decided not to play in the Open Championship at St. Andrews,” McIlroy said on his Instagram post.

“I’m taking a long-term view of this injury and, although rehab is progressing well, I want to come back to tournament play when I feel 100 percent healthy and 100 percent competitive.”

This image released Monday by the world’s No. 1 golfer, Rory McIlroy, shows him as he poses on crutches and with his left leg in a medical support. McIlroy ruptured a ligament in his left ankle while playing soccer less than two weeks before the start of his British Open title defense. who was nearly killed in an automobile accident in 1949, won the only British Open he played in 1953 at Carnoustie.

“We are naturally very disappointed that Rory will be unable to defend his title at St. Andrews next week,” the R&A said in a statement. “Rory will play in many more Open Championships and our primary concern is for his complete recovery.”

He was replaced in the field

by Russell Knox, who grew up in Inverness in the north of Scotland and will be making his Open debut.

Though it wasn’t a big surprise that he withdrew — not after the photo Monday of McIlroy on crutches — it was no less jarring that golf’s best

player would not be at the home of golf to defend his title.

His absence makes Jordan Spieth the favorite at St. Andrews in his quest for the Grand Slam. Spieth is only the fourth player since 1960 to have won the Masters and the U.S. Open in the same year.

“It’s hugely disappointing, especially with him and Jordan and everything that’s going on,” Graeme McDowell said from the Scottish Open.

“It was looking to be a really exciting Open for all involved.

I’m sure he’s really disappointed. ... No one would love to stop Jordan in his tracks next week more than Rory. With the fun rivalry going on and everything, he’s going to be gutted. I

saw the golf course last Saturday. I believed that Rory was rightly a favorite. I thought he’d get it done around there.”

Still to be determined is how long the ankle injury keeps McIlroy out of golf.

He also is the defending champion in the Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone on Aug. 6-9, and the PGA Championship the following week at Whistling Straits. McIlroy finished one shot out of a playoff when the PGA Championship was last held there in 2010.

“We want him back. Everybody does,” Spieth said Tuesday at the John Deere Classic.

“It’s unlucky, it’s unfortunate, and I’m sure he’s taking it harder on himself than anybody else.

“But I don’t think he did anything wrong, it was just an unfortunate situation. And hopefully, he rebounds quickly and gets back right to where he was.”

Spieth will have a chance to replace McIlroy at No. 1 in the world with a good finish at the John Deere and a victory at St. Andrews.

Tiger Woods is the only other No. 1 player to miss a major championship — the British Open and PGA Championship in 2008 recovering from reconstructive knee surgery, and the Masters last year when he had surgery on his back.

Knox was first alternate from the world ranking published Monday, and he was hopeful he would get into his first Open.

CHICAGO– Jhonny Peralta hit a two-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning and the St. Louis Cardinals jolted the Cubs, 6-5, Wednesday.

The Cardinals trailed 5-4 and Cubs reliever Pedro Strop (1-4) quickly retired the first two batters in the ninth.

Matt Carpenter followed with a four-pitch walk and Peralta connected on a 1-2 pitch, hitting a drive that barely cleared the wall in left field for his 12th home run.

In 2000, Anderson-Hurdle became the volunteer chaplain for Romeoville’s police and fire departments.

She intends to continue in this role during her sabbatical, along with being available for weddings and funerals.

E.J. DesLauriers, a lieutenant with the fire department, said Anderson-Hurdle has come out in the middle of the night after tough calls – to sit with families or to talk with staff.

She has even participated in department events, such as open houses.

“She’s just real personable. It’s like talking to a friend. She has a real motherly instinct,” DesLauriers said.

“She doesn’t judge you. She understands. She just gives her viewpoint on things. It’s not like, ‘I’m right and you’re wrong.’ ”

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – “I’m a woman of faith. Always have been.”

So said the Rev. Suzanne Anderson-Hurdle, former pastor of Good Shepherd Church ELCA in Romeoville. In that faith, Anderson-Hurdle made the decision to leave that church June 30, where she has served for 18 years, her first and only assignment.

She left to heal.

Two years ago, a trusted church volunteer embezzled $100,000 of church money, Anderson-Hurdle said.

The volunteer received probation and community service, Anderson-Hurdle said, but the process to get there – which included audits and working through feelings of betrayal – left Anderson-Hurdle with the need to minister to herself.

It was not an easy decision.

Anderson-Hurdle’s life is woven into the Romeoville and the Good Shepherd Church community. Some members left the church during the crisis, Anderson-Hurdle said, and some openly criticized her for her “unchristian” act of notifying police.

But Anderson-Hurdle, who said she now knows more about auditing than she ever thought she’d need to know, noted she never openly denigrated that volunteer.

“I only offered prayers” for the volunteer and the volunteer’s family, Anderson-Hurdle said, “and I will continue to do that.”

Superlative pastor

Anderson-Hurdle, along with her 24/7, passionate approach to pastoring, will be missed. She walked, talked, laughed and cried with her people, and made scripture come alive, said John Ploense of Bolingbrook, a 30-year member of Good Shepherd Church.

“She could preach like no one we’ve ever heard,” Ploense said. “She is a tremendous musician, a beautiful voice and accomplished on the piano.

She played keyboard in the praise band. ... There was nothing canned about her. She made church special.”

“The call” was apparent in Anderson-Hurdle’s earliest years. At 3,

The Rev. Suzanne Anderson-Hurdle is the former pastor of Good Shepherd Church ELCA in Romeoville.

Anderson-Hurdle couldn’t go to the library without telling the librarian, “Jesus loves you.”

While preparing for her confirmation in eighth grade, Anderson-Hurdle said the pastor felt she’d make a good minister. After majoring in communications at Augustana College in Rock Island, Anderson-Hurdle finally entered seminary.

A news release from Good Shepherd Church said Anderson-Hurdle has a Master of Divinity from The Lutheran School of Theology in Chicago.

Anderson-Hurdle worked part time

her first two years at Good Shepherd Church, which worked well with raising a family. But as her children grew, so did Anderson-Hurdle’s involvement with her church and the village of Romeoville.

She has preached and led worship at the annual RomeoFest, led music for Good Shepherd’s Vacation Bible school, and started a preschool and food pantry at her church. The food pantry now is the Romeoville Community Pantry, according to the church’s news release.

Anderson-Hurdle said she also ad-

As of now, Anderson-Hurdle has no job, but she’s not worried. In the past, Anderson-Hurdle said she has cleaned houses and washed windows. She has worked for a bank, grocery store and lumber yard. She’s been working steadily as a substitute teacher.

She and her family – husband, Steve, and their children Justin, 22, Courtney, 20, and Ryan, 16 – consider Romeoville their home. They have no plans to leave.

Perhaps the hardest part of leaving Good Shepherd, Anderson-Hurdle said, is stepping down from the church’s praise band, where Steve and Ryan also belonged. Anderson-Hurdle said she has participated since 2004, and she’s missing it.

“But we’re adjusting,” she added.

It shows, in a spiritually healthy way. While substitute teaching a second-grade class, Anderson-Hurdle said a boy who previously attended Good Shepherd’s preschool asked if she had forgiven that volunteer.

Anderson-Hurdle said she took a minute before answering him.

“I haven’t,” Anderson-Hurdle said she told the boy, “but I’m working on it.”

Pope Francis waves from his popemobile as he arrives to celebrate Mass at Bicentennial Park in Quito, Ecuador, on Tuesday.

Pope urges Latin Americans to unify and spread the faith

By NICOLE WINFIELD and JACOBO GARCIA The Associated Press QUITO, Ecuador – Pope Francis urged a crowd of more than 1 million people to channel the same urgency that brought Latin America its independence from Spain into spreading the faith on a continent where Catholicism is losing souls to evangelical movements.

Francis used his final Mass in Ecuador on Tuesday to appeal for the missionary church that he long has championed. He issued the call from Quito’s Bicentennial Park – an apt location given that Ecuador was where the first cries of independence against Spanish rule arose in Latin America in 1809.

Francis told the gathering, estimated by the Interior Ministry to be more than 1 million, that in a world divided by wars, violence and individualism, Catholics should be “builders of unity,” bringing together hopes and ideals of their people.

“There was no shortage of conviction or strength in that cry for freedom which arose a little more than 200 years ago,” he said. “But history tells us that it only made headway once personal differences were set aside.”

He urged Latin Americans to channel that same

purpose into spreading the faith. Latin America counts 40 percent of the world’s Catholics, but the church is losing out to Protestant evangelical ministries that have focused on the continent’s poorest communities with real-life guidance on employment and education.

While the drop-off in Spanish-speaking South America hasn’t been as sharp as it has been in Brazil, it is notable: Some 95 percent of Ecuador’s population was Catholic in 1970; today, the figure is down to 79 percent, according to the Pew Research Center.

In a bid to counter the trend and return the Catholic Church to its evangelizing origins, Francis has called for the church to return to being a missionary church that looks out particularly for society’s poorest and most marginalized. It’s a message he crafted for the entire Latin American church when he played a leading role in a 2007 conference of bishops in Aparecida, Brazil.

“Evangelization doesn’t consist in proselytizing, but in attracting by our witness to those who are far off, in humbly drawing near to those who feel distant from God and the church, those who are fearful or indifferent,” Francis told the crowd.

“Proselytism is a caricature of evangelization.”

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Try to help partner if he is watching

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Mikhail Baryshnikov modestly said, “No dancer can watch Fred Astaire and not know that we all should have been in another business.”

A bridge player who watches all of the cards will be in demand. If he also interprets them correctly, he will receive top billing.

In today’s deal, how should EastWest defend against five diamonds after West leads a spade? Which spade should West select?

West used a Michaels Cue-Bid to show at least 5-5 in the majors. It was aggressive, especially vulnerable, with only seven high-card points.

Then, East ought to have responded four diamonds to ask his partner to choose the trump suit.

(Here, neither four spades nor five hearts can be defeated.) South, who opened one diamond, not one club, because of his limited high-card content, bravely battled on with five clubs. (Note that this guaranteed at least five clubs.

With only four, he would have bid four no-trump.)

North, thinking that his partner might be 6-5, corrected to five diamonds, and East happily doubled.

West wanted to gain a club ruff.

So, when he decided not to lead the heart king, he chose the spade two – his lowest card being a suit-preference signal for the lower-ranking of the other two side suits.

South won with dummy’s ace and led a trump.

East jumped in with his ace and could have either immediately shifted to a club, or first cashed the spade king (West would have played the five, again his lowest) before giving his partner the lethal club ruff.

15 minutes before the expected time of the episode.

Keep him fully awake for five minutes.

Children are more likely to sleepwalk when they are overtired or anxious. Provide a relaxing bedtime routine for your child and set an early bedtime. Counseling may help if your child is dealing with stress. Some children benefit from hypnosis or biofeedback.

In some cases, a doctor may prescribe short-acting sleep or anti-anxiety medications to reduce or eliminate sleepwalking episodes.

For now, focus on keeping your son safe when he is sleepwalking.

You can help him avoid sleepwalking injuries by making the bedroom and house as safe as possible.

For example: • Don’t let your son sleep in a bunk bed, at least not on the top bunk.

• Make sure there are no sharp or breakable objects near his bed.

• Install gates on stairways.

• Lock doors and windows (to protect him, not the neighbors).

When my sister was in college, she had a roommate with what sounds like a kind of sleepwalking issue.

The roommate didn’t get out of bed and walk.

She would just, in the middle of the night, suddenly cry out, “oh, oh, oh, oh, my god!”, sit bolt upright in bed – and then lie down, sound asleep. When she awakened in the morning, she had no memory of this. She also felt rested.

However, my sister did not.

Note: This puzzle seemingly has more than one solution … but only one is “correct.”

son has started sleepwalking. I’m worried he will hurt himself in his sleep.

Is there anything I can do to stop him from sleepwalking?

Dear Reader: A person who is sleepwalking walks or makes other movements while being still largely asleep. A sleepwalker can be difficult to awaken fully and typically has no memory of the episode in the morning. I hope it will ease your worry to know that episodes of sleepwalking are usually brief and harmless.

Some sleepwalkers simply sit up in bed and move their legs. Others carry out more complex tasks. These may include dressing and undressing, eating, or urinating.

Sleepwalking episodes usually occur one to two hours after going to sleep.

They last from one to 30 minutes. A sleepwalker has open eyes and a blank expression. At first, their eyes make them appear to be awake, but the blank expression makes it clear nothing is registering.

Sleepwalking is common in children, particularly preschoolers. It probably occurs because children’s brains have not yet mastered the regulation of sleep and waking.

The tendency seems to run in families and is more common in boys.

Children usually stop sleepwalking during adolescence, as their nervous systems mature.

To help a sleepwalking child return to normal sleep, gently lead him back to bed. You don’t need to wake your child.

You may not even be able to.

Treatment is not usually necessary. But if your son sleepwalks frequently, a technique called prompted awakenings may help.

For several nights, record the length of time between when your son falls asleep and sleepwalking begins.

Then, for seven nights in a row, awaken your son

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips ship with my father, but my mother and I are not on the best of terms.

Half the time, she’s loving and supportive and willing to spend time with me.

Other times, she is verbally and emotionally abusive.

She’ll call me a failure and a disappointment, and cry for no reason (most likely to get attention).

She has done this since my childhood, and I want to escape her toxicity by shutting her out of my life as an adult.

However, she has threatened suicide (she has tried it before).

My father is on her side and says he will refuse contact with me if I disown her. I want to keep them both in my life, but it has become too difficult to endure her abuse anymore.

Please help. – College Bound

In The Midwest Dear College Bound: You’re

an intelligent young woman.

I’m sure by now you have realized your mother has serious emotional issues for which one can only hope she is receiving professional help.

When you leave for college, you no longer will be subjected to her mood swings or the hurtful comments she makes when she’s not herself.

Once you have completed your education you will be on your own, and most likely will make a life for yourself wherever your profession takes you. It isn’t necessary to make any decisions about cutting anyone out of your life now. Time will take care of your problem.

I have supported her friendly relationship with him despite the repeated lies he tells and the deceptive stories he makes up in an attempt to break us up.

Recently, he decided he wants to take his daughters away for a long weekend. He invited my girlfriend to come along and plans to pay for everything, including a hotel room with two beds they will share. I have said repeatedly this vacation and the arrangements are a deal breaker for me. She assures me her intent is to be with her daughters and she has no desire for intimacy with her ex. She refuses to change her mind and says I need to trust her. The fact is, I don’t trust him based on his actions and many issues between them in the past.

Am I paranoid or obsessing over this? I’d appreciate your input. – Uneasy Down South Dear Uneasy: You are neither obsessing nor paranoid.

You are normal. Because the ex seems intent on breaking you up and he seems to have no girlfriend in the picture, you have a right to feel uneasy. (I’m assuming your lady friend is physically fit and if necessary she could defend her virtue.)

Questions that occur to me are: Why would she want to go away for a long “family” weekend under these circumstances? Why would she insist on it even though she knows it bothers the man with whom she has a relationship? And why, after informing her that this will be a deal breaker – which is an ultimatum – are you tolerating it?

Dear Abby: I’m a 17-year-old girl about to head off to college. I have a great relation-
