JOLIET — The Joliet Park District’s top administrator said he will recommend moving forward with a tax referendum when the park board considers the matter Monday.

The board is scheduled to vote on whether to place a measure on the November ballot asking voters if they would be on board with a tax increase in exchange for park improvements.

Dominic Egizio, the district’s executive director, said

Friday he’s “hopeful” board members will approve the measure. Egizio said the park district received mainly positive feedback with recent mail and phone surveys.

“My recommendation is to move forward,” Egizio said.

Funding for the entire $20.9 million package would require raising the district tax rate from about 37 cents to 46 cents per $100 of assessed valuation, an increase of about $21.60 a year on a home valued at $100,000.

The referendum calls for a multitude of park improve-

River fuel leak is traced back to sinking tugboat

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A sinking tugboat has been leaking diesel fuel into the Des Plaines River during the past week.

Battalion Chief Mike Stromberg said the Joliet Fire Department was notified Thursday morning about an oily sheen on the water reaching from near the Jackson Street Bridge to Brandon Road.

Stromberg said a bridge tender noticed the sheen earlier in the week and notified the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Coast

Guard, which asked the fire department to inspect it using a boat. The source of the spill was pinpointed Thursday.

Firefighters found the gunk was coming from a tugboat moored since 1987 near the Jackson Street Bridge.

Since the boat has been unused for so long and is not registered as a working vessel, the spill falls under the EPA’s jurisdiction instead of the Coast Guard.

“The boat, which is around 30 feet long, is partly submerged and listing into the water,” Will County Emergency Management Director Harold Damron said.

“It was being salvaged and pumping out water that contained diesel fuel,” Stromberg said.

Salvage operations were stopped, and booms designed to contain the spill were placed around the wreck.

Stromberg said Friday the Environmental Protection Agency is investigating and plans to remove the vessel from the water.

Damron said people could smell a fuel odor in the area around the boat for a few days, but there are no immediate health concerns since the area is not used for swimming or recreation.

ducted June 30 and July 1 by Public Opinion Strategies — showed that 58 percent likely would vote in favor of the tax measure.

One project that failed to receive support was the construction a second ice rink at Inwood Recreational Center.

Twenty-one percent of those who responded to the mail survey said the rink should be eliminated from the proposal.

Egizio said Friday the elimination of the second ice rink in the plan would bring down the overall project costs to about $19.5 million.

Area school districts getting ready for new academic year

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The summer felt short, but Joliet Central junior Doloria Wedgeworth is looking forward to volleyball season and applying to colleges this school year.

“School is very important in my life,” Wedgeworth said, adding that she wants to go to college and eventually law school.

The small bouts of stomach butterflies and the opportunity to reconnect with friends are getting students excited for the new academic year, which starts this week for some Will County students.

And school districts are trying to keep that enthusiasm of student achievement high.

“Education is the best policy,” said Robyn Newell, Wedgeworth’s mother.

“We’ve got to have education for our kids.”

Michele Zavala is entering her freshman year at Joliet Central. The prospect of high school is filling her with a lot of excitement, although she is dreading waking up early and walking the long distances to make it to her new classes on time.

“It’s scary,” Zavala said.

“It’s just everything. It’s new.”

Zavala’s mother, Guadalupe Zavala, has been getting her ready to go back to school with clothing and supplies.

“I’m nervous, too,” she said.

Netbooks for students Joliet high schools are undergoing several changes.

Probably the most significant one is that all students at the high schools are guaranteed netbook computers provided by the district.

“We started this program the first year with freshman students,” Superintendent

Amir Small, 17, logs on to his school-issued netbook computer Wednesday while at a school registration event at Joliet West High School.

Joliet West High School students register for classes Wednesday in preparation for the 2014-15 school year.

Cheryl McCarthy said. “Last year, they were given to freshmen, sophomores and some juniors. And this year, all students get one.”

McCarthy said the netbooks will allow students to learn with a digital component, JT Learn, along with regular classroom instruction.

“This helps close the digital divide with families who may be more low-income,” she said.

Students will use preinstalled programs on the computers. But they also can install their own applications like a personal computer, as long as the application is allowed through the district-in-

stalled filter.

The lunch lines in the high schools will no longer accept cash this year. All students will need to use their student ID cards, which will be attached to accounts using www.mylunchmoney.com.

“The last several years, students had the opportunity to use this,” McCarthy said.

“This will speed up the process for lunches because cash will not be moving back and forth. It also puts some control for parents.”

School districts now will have to abide by federal nutrition standards, which are applied to any food and beverage sold to students during and 30 minutes after school.

Also, candy can’t be sold before, during and 30 minutes after school.

And along with regular physical exams, the Varicella chicken-pox vaccine is required this year. Students in

Scouts take to the air at Lewis Aim of Airfest: Spark interest in STEM topics

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

R

OMEOVILLE – Pack 61 Bear Scout Griffin Garrett from Lockport constructed a rocket only using a small water bottle, construction paper and tape Saturday morning at the first Scout Airfest at Lewis University.

After he was done, he tested the rocket outside, where it spun six feet in the air before crashing down.

“When you mix the [Alka-Seltzer] tablets with the water inside, it pushes the rocket up,” Griffin said about what he learned in the experiment, adding that he put extra tape so the paper wouldn’t get soggy from the blast-off.

Scouts of all ages learned science lessons at the Airfest through experiments like the Alka-Seltzer rocket, and through demonstrations placed throughout the university and Lewis University Airport.

Attractions included inside looks into modern and historic airplanes, tours of emergency vehicles, flaming hot air balloon burners and information on aviation and science-related fields.

“It’s a good thing for scouts to go on and learn about science,” said Frank Garrett, Griffin’s father. “STEM is the future.”

STEM, an acronym for the science, technology, engineering and math educational fields, was a priority when regional scout leaders were organizing the Airfest over the past two years.

Marc Ryan, the scout executive for the regional Boy Scout organization Rainbow Council, said that the Airfest

Scouts of all ages attended the Airfest, which was meant to encourage science, technology, engineering and math learning.

Scouts came from several troops and packs in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin.

Peoria native Boy Scout Nathan Brose enjoyed checking out the booths and airplanes with members of his group, Troop 156.

“I’d say it’s been pretty good,” Nathan said, comparing the Airfest to other Boy Scout events. “I hope they have this next year.”

Martinez’s son, 13-yearold Christian Martinez, was selected by the troop to represent them on the Discovery Flight, which allowed one scout from every troop to take a flight over the Joliet area.

“I’ve been in larger commercial airliners,” said Christian, who already had an interest in flying. “But this was small and low to the ground so we got a better view. It reinforces my interest.”

Ryan said the Airfest was a collaborative effort by the Boy Scouts of America organizations and Lewis University.

A VIP luncheon Saturday recognized the efforts of coordinators and school and scout leaders.

“If we can encourage the scouts to follow their interest, it’s all worth it,” Ryan said.

Emissions go down, so will jobs

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – NRG Energy’s announcement last week of a unit shutdown and conversion to natural gas at two local power plants may have been a victory for environmentalists but it will come at a cost of 250 well-paid jobs that may be tough to replace.

“Much of these are wellpaid, union jobs, and a lot of those guys have been there a long time,” said John Greuling, president and CEO for Will County Center for Economic Development. “Pay is not what it used to be for a lot of these jobs. That’s another trend in the overall economy that all of us are trying to adjust to.”

Most of the 250 job cuts will come from the Joliet and Romeoville plants, although NRG Energy’s plan will lead to job losses at its Pekin and Waukegan plants as the company upgrades those facilities to comply with environmental regulations.

The workforce reduction will come in two waves – one in April and another in April

2016.

The Joliet and Romeoville plants have been major local employers since they were built in the 1950s by Commonwealth Edison. In more recent years, they operated under the Midwest Generation division of California-based Edison Mission Energy before being acquired by NRG earlier this year.

Because of various shutdowns and cutbacks, headcount at area power plants has declined in recent decades – from about 1,100 in the late 1990s and early 2000s to today’s headcount of 600.

Noting that a good number of workers in the manufacturing industry are nearing retirement age, Greuling said it’s likely several will be able to take severance packages.

A similar, well-paying job in manufacturing will be a hard find in Will County – and the rest of the country, he said.

“It’ll definitely be a challenge,” Greuling said. “What’s happening in these manufacturing, energy and chemical processing industries is more technology, more equipment

and less workers, and yet they’re much more efficient and productive than they were. That’s just the changing global economy in the way stuff is made these days.”

Romeoville’s Unit 3 will cease operations by April 1, but its Unit 4 will continue operations as long as it remains in compliance with state and federal emission laws and regulations, according to NRG. Power plant workers at the four locations earn anywhere from $17 to $40 an hour and receive health benefits, said Doug Vedas, business representative for IBEW Local 15, which represents about 425 of the 600 workers at all four plants.

“We knew they had been looking since they bought us to convert or shut down, but people were still shocked,” Vedas said.

The announcement from NRG is similar to events that unfolded in July 2002 when then-plant-owners Midwest Generation shut down two power generating units at the Romeoville plant.

In 2012, Midwest Generation closed its two Chicago

Stop looking for hidden fees.

plants, Fisk and Crawford stations, and filed for bankruptcy later that year.

Will County is experiencing job growth and upward mobility in essentially every industry “we’re chasing after,” Greuling said, including advanced manufacturing, food processing, energy, and distribution and logistics, while traditional manufacturing jobs continue to decline.

16 million tons by 2020 – the equivalent of taking 4 million cars off the road – but that hasn’t been enough to satisfy environmental groups.

NRG spokesman: Company is ‘bewildered’ by backlash • EMISSIONS Continued from page 6 describes itself as a trailblazing power producer, we were hoping and expecting a lot more vision, innovation and forward-thinking in NRG’s approach to its Illinois operations,” Bruce Nilles, senior director for the Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal campaign, said in the statement.

NRG spokesman David Gaier said the company is “bewildered” by the backlash experienced from environmental

groups.

“We are bewildered because we think these are massive environmental improvements,” he said. “We are sort of at a loss why [environmental groups] are not applauding this.”

Gaier noted NRG’s emissions reductions is four times greater this time around compared to when Midwest Generation shut down its two Chicago operations, Fisk and Crawford, in 2012.

Representatives with The Sierra Club’s Beyond Coal Campaign were unavailable for comment Friday.

ELWOOD – CenterPoint Properties said after a court ruling Friday it intends to move forward with an industrial project that had been slowed down when the Village of Elwood did not issue a building permit.

CenterPoint plans to build a 237,000-square-foot addition to an already existing ITL distribution operation, spokeswoman Jacque Engle said. The project was held up when the village did not issue a building permit.

Elwood attorney Bill Thomas said it was too early to say if the village would appeal.

But Thomas said the permit was not issued because a village building engineer believed it should have been resubmitted under a different zoning category.

The case is one more instance where CenterPoint Properties and Elwood have clashed over industrial development and increasing truck traffic on local roads.

The Oak Brook-based company has developed two adjacent industrial parks in Elwood and Joliet.

The two sides are close to resolving a federal lawsuit over the village’s attempt to restrict truck traffic. And an Illinois Commerce Commission hearing this month could decide how to deal with hazards related to truck traffic at a railroad crossing in Elwood.

Both sides issued news releases after the Will County ruling. CenterPoint said its construction plans met with the terms of an agreement reached with Elwood in 2000.

Elwood contended the ruling will allow CenterPoint to add more trucks to local roads.

Hickory Street slayings ‘heinous and upsetting’ McKee’s trial to continue Monday

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The horror of the Hickory Street slayings seems a tale more suitable for an exploitation movie than a courtroom.

The killings of two young men were recounted last week by witnesses who offered testimony and evidence of lurid and shocking behavior by the four people accused of their murders.

“This is one of the most brutal, heinous and upsetting things I’ve ever seen in my 27 years of law enforcement.

Not only the crime scene but the disregard for common decency toward human beings,” then-Joliet Police Chief Mike Trafton told The Herald-News in January 2013 after the bodies of Eric Glover and Terrence Rankins were found in Alisa Massaro’s house in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street.

Trafton never elaborated.

But the accounts given in the courtroom last week offered a disturbing view of human behavior suggested in the police chief’s reaction to what happened at the house on Hickory Street.

Massaro, 20, pleaded guilty in May to robbery and concealing a homicide in exchange for having murder charges dropped and testifying against Adam Landerman, 21, Bethany McKee, 20, and Joshua Miner, 26. All four were charged with murdering Glover and Rankins, both 22.

week at McKee’s trial before Judge Gerald Kinney, who had placed a gag order on trial participants during pretrial activity to “limit the sensationalism” around the case.

Miner and Landerman await separate trials.

While prosecutors say the two men physically strangled the victims, McKee is being held accountable for participating in the robbery that led to their deaths.

McKee and Rankins met while attending Joliet West High School and reconnected on Facebook shortly before the Jan. 9, 2013, slayings. During her interview with police, McKee said Rankins offered to supply her with marijuana, and Massaro testified McKee introduced him as her dealer.

Some changes surely have a cost. But area school districts have made some efforts to reduce significant raises in student fees.

Plainfield Consolidated School District 202 preschool fees have stayed the same at $88. Elementary school fees increased from $113 in 2010 to a high of $132 for fourth-graders. Sixth-grade fees increased from $143 in 2009 to $160.

Joliet District 204 has kept the instructional material fee at $160, the activity fee at $25 and the per-sport participation fee at $50 for the past five years.

Another set of federal guidelines, the Common Core standards, have been imple-

mented to introduce students to higher-level math and language arts.

Plainfield District 202 – which includes elementary, middle and high schools – is entering a second year of applying the Common Core standards to its curriculum.

“Much of our focus this year, like last year, will be on implementing the Common Core State Learning Standards,” said Tom Hernandez, the director of community relations for the district.

This fall, the district is implementing the English language arts standards. This will help students in the first round of Common Core state standardized testing next spring.

“This is a huge process, and very significant for lots of reasons, not the least of which is the magnitude of change that the Common Core brings in terms of academic expectations for our students, teachers and schools,” Hernandez said.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – A 14-year-old girl was killed in a motorcycle crash Wednesday while riding with her father on southbound Interstate 55.

Reginald G. Wilson, 54, was operating the bike about 8:30 p.m. when it began to shake uncontrollably a quarter-mile south of the Interstate 355 viaduct. While Wilson tried to pull over, the motorcycle hit the median wall and skidded along the

shoulder, according to police.

Ashley Wilson, who was riding with her father, was killed.

She was pronounced dead at the scene at 9:35 p.m. by the Will County Coroner’s office.

Reginald Wilson, of Glenwood, was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital in Bolingbrook. He was ticketed for driving with an expired license, operating a vehicle outside his license classification and driving without proof of insurance.

Neither rider was wearing a helmet, state police said.

Motorcyclist dies in area crash

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – A Channahon man was killed in a motorcycle crash early Friday.

Timothy J. Connolly, 41, died in the accident, according to the Will County Coroner’s office.

A female passenger was hospitalized in serious condition but was expected to survive.

Police Chief Jeff Wold said two people were riding a Suzuki motorcycle about 1:40 a.m. on Center Street near Route 6.

Neither Connolly nor his passenger, an adult woman, were wearing helmets, Wold said.

“It appears he was traveling at a high rate of speed and lost control where the road curves and went into the ditch,” Wold said.

WWII veteran who found Hitler’s hat dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS ALBANY, N.Y. – Richard Marowitz was just a day removed from witnessing the horrors of Dachau when he found a top hat on a shelf in a closet in Adolf Hitler’s Munich apartment.

Still furious over the gruesome sights he had seen at the nearby Nazi concentration camp, the 19-year-old self-described “skinny Jewish kid” from New York threw the black silk hat on the floor, jumped off the chair he had used to reach it and stomped Hitler’s formal headwear until it was flat.

“I swear to this day I could see his face in it,” Marowitz told The Associated Press in a 2001 interview.

Marowitz, who brought the souvenir back to New York after World War II ended, died this week at age 88 at the Veterans Affairs hospital in Albany. His son, Larry Marowitz, said on Friday that he died Wednesday after battling cancer and dementia.

Marowitz, raised in Brooklyn, was playing trumpet in a swing band when he was drafted into the Army. He served as a reconnaissance scout in the 42nd Infantry Division as it fought its way across Europe in 1945. On

April 29, his unit was ordered to push ahead to a place called Dachau to beat other American divisions headed there.

In a 2003 interview he gave to an upstate New York high school’s WWII oral history project, Marowitz told how he and his comrades sped their Jeeps through German convoys and enemy positions, firing their guns all the way.

“As we got closer to Dachau, we got this awful smell,” he recalled.

They were among the first American soldiers to enter the concentration camp, where the GIs found bodies stacked inside rail cars and emaciated inmates.

“The prisoners were just walking skeletons, and they just dropped where they were and died,” Marowitz said.

The next day, the 19-yearold scout was among a group sent to search Hitler’s Munich apartment. While looking in a closet, Marowitz found a top hat with the initials “A.H.” on the lining. He jumped up and down on the hat a few times in anger. It was April 30, the day Hitler committed suicide in his bunker in Berlin.

“When he heard some skinny Jewish kid stomped all over his favorite hat, he committed suicide,” Marowitz joked to the AP in 2001.

Bridges are key piece to toting big soybean harvest

STOCKLAND – A no-frills concrete bridge on the edge of Stockland, Illinois, represents just the kind of headache the nation’s soybean farmers hope a multimillion-dollar campaign and a little creative thinking will cure.

The 50-feet concrete span and hundreds like it in soybean-growing states can’t handle the weight of fully loaded grain trucks that’ll be bringing an expected record harvest to grain elevators this fall. That means those who use the often small, obscure bridges will have to make more trips and spend more money.

Hauling soybeans to Stockland Grain Co. from the west means crossing the Stockland bridge. It’s restricted to 29 tons or 58,000 pounds; a fully loaded grain trucks weighs 80,000 pounds.

“Basically, it’s probably doubling the freight [cost],” Stockland Grain owner Sonny Metzinger said from his business about 100 miles south of Chicago.

Since farmers’ profits are dropping this year alongside crop prices, bridge-infrastructure needs have come into sharper focus. Most soybeans wind up on a rail car or barge to reach their ultimate destination, but just about all of them leave the farm in trucks that roll over small bridges.

National and state soybean trade groups are spending millions – $1.5 million in Illinois over three years, for example – to make their case and present solutions beyond asking government agencies in charge of the bridges for money that they often don’t have.

Appeal to recognize Pullman district reaches Obama

CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin is appealing to President Barack Obama for help in granting National Park status to Chicago’s Pullman Historic District.

He urged Obama to use his authority under the Antiquities Act to declare part of the park a unit of the National Park System.

What’s scary about Ebola, and reasons not to fear it

By CONNIE CASS The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The United States’ top disease detective calls Ebola a “painful, dreadful, merciless virus.”

The World Health Organization has declared the outbreak in West Africa an international emergency, killing more than 900 people and spreading.

That’s scary and serious.

But it also cries out for context. To put the Ebola threat in perspective, here are some reasons to be concerned about the outbreak, and reasons not to fear it:

WHY IT’S SCARY

from the nose and ears.

The damage can spiral far beyond the patients themselves.

Because it’s spread through direct contact with the bodily fluids of sick patients, Ebola takes an especially harsh toll on doctors and nurses, already in short supply in areas of Africa hit by the disease. Outbreaks spark fear and panic.

Health workers and clinics have come under attack from residents, who sometimes blame foreign doctors for the deaths. People with from Ebola or other illnesses may fear going to a hospital, or may be shunned by friends and neighbors.

Two of the worst-hit countries – Liberia and Sierra Leone – sent troops to quarantine areas with Ebola cases.

The aim was to stop the disease’s spread but the action also created hardship for many residents.

There is no cure for Ebola hemorrhagic fever.

More than half of people infected in this outbreak have died. Death rates in some past outbreaks reached 90 percent.

It’s a cruel end that comes within days. Patients grow feverish and weak, suffering through body aches, vomit- REASONS NOT TO BE AFRAID ing, diarrhea and internal Ebola is devastating for bleeding, sometimes bleeding those it affects. But most peo-

ple don’t need to fear it. Why? Ebola doesn’t spread easily, the way a cold virus or the flu does. It is only spread by direct contact with bodily fluids such as blood, saliva, sweat and urine. Family members have contracted it by caring for their relatives or handling an infected body as part of burial practices.

People aren’t contagious until they show symptoms, Frieden said. Symptoms may not appear until 21 days after exposure.

“People should not be afraid of casual exposure on a subway or an airplane,” said Dr. Robert Black, professor of international health at Johns Hopkins University.

Health officials around the developed world know how to stop Ebola. Frieden described tried-and-true measures: find and isolate all possible patients, track down people they may have exposed, and ensure strict infection-control procedures while caring for patients. Every past outbreak of Ebola has been brought under control.

Population shift

The Associated Press

Students in Jane Cornell’s summer school class learn story-telling skills July 21 at Mary D. Lang Kindergarten Center in Kennett Square, Pa. U.S. schools expect this fall to have more minority students than whites.

But it also brings up some complex societal questions that often fall to school systems to address, including issues of immigration, poverty, diversity and inequity.

The result, at times, is racial tension.

In Louisiana in July, Jefferson Parish public school administrators reached an agreement with the federal government to end an investigation into discrimination against English language learners. In May, police had to be called to help break up a fight between Hispanic and black students in at a school in Streamwood, Illinois, after

a racially-based lunchroom brawl got out of control.

Issues of race and ethnicity in schools also can be more subtle.

In Pennsylvania’s Kennett Consolidated School District, Superintendent Barry Tomasetti described parents who opt to send their kids to private schools in Delaware after touring diverse classrooms. Other families, he said, seek out the district’s diverse schools “because they realize it’s not a homogenous world out there.”

The changes in the district from mostly middle-to-upper class white to about 40 percent Hispanic was in part driven by

workers migrating from Mexico and other countries to work the mushroom farms.

“We like our diversity,” Tomasetti said, even as he acknowledged the cost. He has had to hire English language instructors and translators for parent-teacher conferences.

He has cobbled money together to provide summer school for many young English language learners who need extra reading and math support.

“Our expectation is all of our kids succeed,” he said.

Even as the population becomes more diverse, schools are becoming more racially divided, reflecting U.S. housing

patterns.

The disparities are evident even in the youngest of black, Hispanic and Native American children, who on average enter kindergarten academically behind their white and Asian peers. They are more likely to attend failing schools and face harsher school discipline.

Later, they have lower standardized test scores, on average, fewer opportunities to take advanced classes, and are less likely to graduate.

As the school age population has become more nonwhite, it’s also become poorer, said Patricia Gandara, co-director of the Civil Rights Project at UCLA who serves on President Barack Obama’s advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanics.

Roughly one-quarter of Hispanics and African-Americans live below the poverty line – meaning a family of four has nearly 24,000 in annual income.

Drought lessons: Water wasters sent to class in Calif.

By MARTHA MENDOZA The Associated Press SANTA CRUZ, Calif. – Some overindulged their zucchini patch. Others didn’t bother with that dripping kitchen sink.

But now every Monday night in this drought-stricken beach town, dozens of residents who violated their strict rations take a seat at Water School, hoping to get hundreds of thousands of dollars in distressing penalties waived.

Nik Martinelli, a Santa Cruz water-conservation specialist who is up before dawn patrolling for overwatered lawns, launched a recent lesson.

“We all know why you’re here. You all went over your allotment and got a big penalty,” he said.

Margaret Hughes nodded grimly. Her $210 water bill came with a $775 fine last month.

She drove from her home four hours north of town to

face the scolding, even though she had no idea the toilet in a vacant house she inherited had been leaking.

Two hours later, everyone was ready to ace their Water School quiz, identifying the community’s sparse water sources, listing ways to conserve water, describing how to use their water meters to check for leaks.

“They’re turning this into something positive,” said Hughes, adding that she might take advantage of a $150 rip-

out-your-lawn rebate she learned about.

California is in the third year of the state’s worst drought in recent history.

Farmland is going fallow.

Lakes are turning to mud. Golf courses, cemeteries and parks are browning.

Earlier in the year when winter storms didn’t blow in and the forecast was grim, most communities took the “ask nicely,” approach, suggesting residents cut water use by 20 percent.

But Santa Cruz, a coastal town about 60 miles south of San Francisco, couldn’t afford to wait.

Unlike most cities that have either groundwater, a connection to state water canals, or vast reservoirs, Santa Cruz is among those worst hit by the drought because what makes it special – the town is surrounded by ocean and mountains – also means it relies almost exclusively on storm runoff into a river, creeks and an aging reservoir.

KENNETT SQUARE, Pa. – For the first time, U.S. public schools are projected this fall to have more minority students than non-Hispanic whites, a shift largely fueled by growth in the number of Hispanic children.

The changing demographics of American education are apparent inside Jane Cornell’s summer school classroom, where giggling grade-schoolers mostly come from homes where Spanish is the primary language. The sign outside the classroom reads “Welcome” and “Bienvenidos” in polished handwriting.

Non-Hispanic white students are still expected to be the largest racial group in the public schools this year at 49.8 percent. But according to the National Center for Education Statistics, minority students, when added together, will now make up the majority.

About one-quarter of the minority students are Hispanic, 15 percent are black and 5 percent are Asian and Pacific Islanders. Biracial students and Native Americans make up an even smaller share of the minority student population.

The shift brings new academic realities, such as the need for more English language instruction, and cultural ones, such as changing school lunch menus to reflect students’ tastes.

The new majority-minority status of America’s schools mirrors a change that is coming for the nation as a whole. The Census Bureau estimates that the country’s population also will have more minorities than whites for the first time in 2043, a result of higher birth rates among Hispanics and a stagnating or declining birth rate among blacks, whites and Asians.

U.S. aids displaced Iraqis, strikes at ISIS Thousands trapped on mountain by fighting near Syria The ASSOCIATED PRESS KHAZER CAMP, Iraq – President Barack Obama justified the U.S. military’s return to fighting in Iraq Saturday by saying America must act now to prevent genocide, protect its diplomats and provide humanitarian aid to refugees trapped

by Islamic State militants on a mountain ridge near the Syrian border.

“This is going to be a longterm project” that won’t end and can’t succeed unless Iraqis form an inclusive government in Baghdad capable of keeping the country from breaking apart, Obama said at the White House.

U.S. planes and drones launched four airstrikes on Islamic State forces Saturday as they fired indiscriminately on Yazidi civilians taking shelter in the Sinjar mountains, U.S. Central Command said.

The strikes, which were spread out during the day, destroyed armored carriers and a truck, according to the Central Command statement.

It was the third round of airstrikes against Islamic State forces by the U.S. military since they were authorized by

Obama on Thursday.

The military support also has been helping clear the way for aid flights to drop food and water to thousands of starving refugees in the Sinjar area.

But the help comes too late for many of the religious minorities targeted for elimination by the Islamic State group, which swept past U.S.trained and equipped Iraqi government forces in recent weeks and now controls much of Iraq.

A delayed response by the Shiite-led government in Baghdad left Kurdish forces struggling to contain the Sunni extremists’ advances.

With nowhere to go but uphill, Kurdish-speaking Yazidi refugees sought shelter in the mile-high Sinjar mountains, where their ancient religion holds that Noah’s ark came to rest.

U.S., Iraqi and British cargo planes dropped tons of food, water, tents and other equipment to the refugees Friday and Saturday.

Iraq’s defense ministry released a video showing people in the Sinjar mountains rushing to collect food and water as the Iraqi government’s fleet of C130 cargo planes dropped 20 tons of aid at a time.

But at least 56 children have died of dehydration in the mountains, UNICEF’s spokesman in Iraq, Karim Elkorany, said Saturday.

It was not clear if this was an Egyptian or an Israeli proposal.

The Palestinian negotiators said they rejected the ideas, insisting on a complete end to the blockade.

The Palestinian team includes Hamas officials and r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s o f W e s tern-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, from whom Hamas had taken Gaza in 2007. The delegation agrees on the broader demands, despite some disagreements over tactics, such as whether to extend a three-day truce earlier this week, participants said.

The temporary truce had launched the talks, amid expectations it would be extended to allow for continued negotiations.

However, Hamas refused to extend unless Israel agreed in principle to a lifting of the blockade. Azzam al-Ahmad, who is close to Abbas and heads the Palestinian delegation, had urged Hamas to accept the extension.

JERUSALEM – Egyptian-brokered talks between Israel and Hamas on a new border deal for Gaza were thrown into doubt Saturday after senior officials said an Israeli team would not rejoin negotiations in Cairo unless rocket fire from Gaza stops.

A day after the end of a temporary truce, cross-border attacks continued Saturday, though at a lower intensity than on most days in the past month of fighting.

Gaza militants fired 28 rockets at Israel, the army said, while Israel struck about 50 targets in Gaza that it said were linked to militants, including mosques and homes.

The indirect talks in Cairo – which began earlier in the week with Egyptians shuttling between the Israeli and Palestinian delegations – were meant to produce a sustainable cease-fire and new border arrangements for Gaza.

Israel and Egypt have se-

verely restricted trade and movement in and out of Gaza since the Islamic militant group Hamas seized the territory by force seven years ago.

However, the gaps are wide, making it unlikely the two sides can reach a comprehensive deal envisioned by the international community, including an opening of Gaza’s borders and arrangements for the war-battered territory’s reconstruction.

Israel has said it will not open Gaza’s borders unless militant groups, including Hamas, disarm. Hamas has said handing over its weapons arsenal, which is believed to include several thousand remaining rockets, is inconceivable.

Instead, one proposal circulated by the Egyptian mediators offered a minor easing of some of the restrictions, according to Palestinian negotiators who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to discuss internal deliberations with the media.

Gaza peace talks halted

William McKee notified police about the killings • SLAYINGS Continued from page 8 Massaro testified she had previously had sex with Landerman and been in an on-off relationship with Miner. But Massaro denied any of them had sex on top of the bodies after Rankins and Glover were slain – a rumor reported in media accounts soon after the crime and which McKee had suggested in her interview with police.

McKee told police Miner proposed Massaro have sex with both him and Landerman on a mattress he’d put over the victims. Massaro also planned to snort some of the cocaine off Miner’s genitals, according to McKee. The quartet had gone out to buy drugs using money from Rankins and Glover’s pockets after killing them and returned to “party” with the corpses in the apartment, McKee and Massaro said.

McKee told police she did not know if Massaro and Landerman had sex, but said Massaro told her the next morning that Miner choked her while attempting to have sex, but could not perform.

“This is really twisted,” McKee said after relating that to detectives during a videotaped interview that was played during the trial.

McKee also told police she reluctantly kicked one of the bodies at Miner’s insistence to show solidarity among the suspects. Massaro testified she punched and kicked them

as well.

When Miner and Landerman went to desecrate the bodies, Miner used a derogatory racial slur to address the victims, according to McKee. “Adam said if they [stayed busy] picking cotton this wouldn’t have happened,” McKee told police during her interview. Both victims were black, while all the suspects are white.

McKee claimed Miner was not opposed to touching the victims and told the others once the bodies were dismembered he was going to cut the face and hair from Glover’s head to wear like a mask for a cellphone picture.

The suspects had reportedly discussed the then-recently released horror film “Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D” where the villain wears a mask of human skin. McKee told detectives she didn’t know whether Miner was joking about the souvenir because “he’s crazy.”

Landerman is believed to have retrieved a hand-held propane torch, a pair of small garden shears, a utility knife, two hand knives, a pair of scissors, a hacksaw and a second blade that police found near Rankins’ body that would be used to dismember the remains.

William McKee notified police about the killings after the suspects allegedly agreed Bethany should ask her father how to dispose of them.

Bethany McKee’s trial is scheduled to continue Monday.

Investor must steer clear of these stocks Dear Mr. Berko: We have been with our broker, who may be getting long in the tooth, since October 2008. Our original $525,000 investment, from which we take $1,200 a month, has grown to $557,000.

Because we would like to take more money out of this account and not touch any of the principal, he wants us to buy the following three stocks: 7,000 shares of Atlantic Power at $3.70 because it pays 10 percent; 7,000 shares of Intersections at $4.60, paying 18 percent; and 10,000 shares of China Nepstar Chain Drugstore, which pays 13 percent, at $2.43. Please give us your thoughts on these income stocks. – ST, Oklahoma City Dear ST: I don’t know what your real objectives are, but if you invested $525,000 in late 2008 and have taken out only $1,200 each month, your account value should be a lot higher than $557,000. Frankly, I would be telling that cirrhotic bumbler of a broker to take a long walk off a high Alp. During the past five years, we have enjoyed a stock market so spectacular that even a drunken monkey could have given you more income and better performance. Where did this stumblebum come up with those doozies?

In January of last year, this Atlantic Power (AT-$4.06) traded in the $12-to-$13 price range and paid $1.10 a share. The following month, the dividend tanked to 36 cents, and Atlantic headed to the toilet but still pays almost 10 percent.

AT is a power generation and infrastructure company that owns, operates and maintains 28 power generation facilities in the U.S. and two in Canada plus a 300-megawatt wind facility, a short drive from your home. Together these facilities produce 3,300 megawatts of power, which AT sells to utilities and other large users under long-term purchase agreements. Revenues in 2013 grew to $551 million, but its long-term debt inched to $2 billion.

AT hasn’t made a dime in the decade it’s been in business, and I see no reason the next decade should be any different!

There’s no joy here.

China Nepstar Chain Drugstore (NPD-$2.38) is the Chinese version of Walgreen Co., with 2,100 retail drugstores in 77 cities across 14 of China’s 23 provinces. In the past 10 years, revenues have more than doubled, to $2.7 billion, but earnings have been pa-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko thetic, and so has the stock performance.

In the summer of 2009, NPD traded at between $7 and $8, and its dividend was $1.50. Now the dividend has been lowered to 30 cents, though it does yield a hefty 12.1 percent. Earnings this year will come in at less than a dime, and Reuters, the only brokerage on Wall Street following NPD, believes 2015 earnings will come in under a nickel. I suspect that NPD will cut its dividend again.

I don’t trust Chinese accounting practices. I don’t trust their corporate managers. I can’t read a Chinese income statement or a Chinese balance sheet, though I can read a Chinese menu. I’m a sucker for Chinese food, even though everything tastes the same, but I’m not enough of a sucker to recommend NPD, even if it yields 12.1 percent.

Intersections (INTX-$4.01) pays an 80cent dividend, which yields a too-nifty 17.9 percent.

In the summer of 2011, a reader who had inherited 65 shares of INTX from his father asked whether she should round out her position to 100 shares. When I told her “no,” she was insulted and accused me of besmirching her “father’s memory.”

And I’m also going to tell you “no,” because I can’t find a single brokerage company on the Street that covers this Chantilly, Virginia, company, which sells subscription-based consumer protection services.

According to its filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, INTX had $297 million in revenues in 2013 and lost 14 cents a share. I have no idea whether INTX will be profitable or be able to pay its dividend this year or next. Run away from this stock.

I don’t know what your account looks like, but I suspect that it’s littered with detritus similar to the three above.

Please have a professional review your portfolio ASAP. This character is dangerous to your wealth.

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Don’t give up bid to merge state agencies Let’s hope that this year is the last one in which Illinois voters will elect a comptroller and treasurer to statewide office.

The two offices can and should be combined, which would require voters to approve an amendment to the state Constitution.

We suspect they would, if House Speaker Michael Madigan would allow the question on the ballot.

Illinois has a comptroller, whose job is to pay the bills, and a treasurer, whose job is to invest its money.

Multiple attempts have been made to combine the two offices. Judy Baar Topinka, the current comptroller, has proposed doing so, as has Republican treasurer candidate Tom Cross and his Democratic opponent, Mike Frerichs.

As The Associated Press reported last week, Democratic comptroller candidate Sheila Simon opposes the idea, saying there are other ways for the state to save money.

Topinka and Treasurer Dan Rutherford estimated in 2011 that combining their offices into one “Comptroller of the Treasury” would save taxpayers about $12 million a year.

There is no reason for the state to have two separate offices with so much overlap. Of the five people either holding or seeking the offices, four agree they could be consolidated.

Madigan does not agree, however, and has used the power of his position to prevent amendment proposals from coming to a vote in the House. Most recently, a proposed constitutional amendment that was approved 55-0 in the state Senate in 2011 but was denied a vote in the state House.

It is yet another example of the outsized power that Madigan has, and his dedication to maintaining the old order – even when so many agree that change is needed.

The state needs to show leadership in the push to streamline the many layers of government in Illinois and reduce the cost to operate government at large.

There are adequate safeguards in place to investigate fraud, including executive inspectors general for both the comptroller and treasurer.

The consolidation of the offices has popular support and should not be abandoned. Saving money should be the top priority for Illinois government today, and this is one way to accomplish it.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

We are people – not citizens Remember when Mitt Romney told a citizen, “Corporations are people, my friend”?

This once-false belief was made real by Citizens United – one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in recent times.

Because of this judicial ruling, corporations are not only really people – they are also citizens. And as we all learned in Civics 101, citizens pay taxes.

Oh, wait. Not so fast. Corporations once paid taxes. Now they say only human people should pay taxes. Businesses such as Walgreens have been seriously considering renouncing their citizenship to avoid paying taxes on their overseas earnings.

Although physically remaining in America, businesses are

VIEWS Donna Brazile stripping themselves of their U.S. citizenship by taking up tax residences overseas. They then become citizens of that foreign nation.

So far, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, 72 companies have renounced their U.S. citizenship since 1983. But – get this – they’re keeping all the benefits that come from being “a person” in America.

According to Bloomberg Financial News, their reasons for fleeing “had nothing to do with manufacturing costs or access to

foreign markets. It was to escape taxes.”

Sadly, it’s simple greed.

The Economic Policy Institute is a Washington think tank created to include low- and middle-income workers’ interests in economic discussions. The EPI’s Thomas Hungerford discovered that AbbVie, a Chicago business, would rather be Irish, and that Mylan, a Pittsburgh business, wants to become a Dutch firm.

Hungerford says these companies are fleeing our “dysfunctional corporate income tax system.”

There is agreement in Congress that we need comprehensive tax reform.

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.

If $3.7 billion has to be expended on this “border kids dilemma,” as it was a law passed in 2008, then why not suspend the 2008 law and immediately impose funding sanctions to countries whose people cross our borders illegally? Any costs the U.S. incurs should be deducted from their foreign aid and financial assistance.

Slammers lose series vs. Otters after delay SUBMITTED REPORTS

SOUTHERN ILLINOIS MINERS 13, SLAMMERS 7

Slammers’ rally not enough Drop series opener to S. Illinois; 6th in division

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET– When Southern Illinois played here in May, the Joliet Slammers swept the Miners with three come-frombehind wins to open the season with a 3-0 mark.

Aware of the Slammers’ penchant for coming back against them, the Miners put Joliet into a deep hole early only to see the Slammers fight their way back into it.

However, Southern Illinois held off the Slammers, 13-7, on Saturday at Silver Cross Field before 2,014 in attendance.

Southern Illinois improved to 45-28 as it fights for first place in the Frontier League East Division, while the Slammers fell to 28-45, which puts them in sixth place in the West Division.

The Miners led, 10-1, through four innings, scoring

one in the first, one in the second, two in the third and six in the fourth off Joliet starter Alex Kaminsky (0-2) and reliever Tyler Thicke.

Joliet scored two in the fourth, one in the fifth and three in the sixth to pull to within 11-7 before Southern Illinois added two runs in the eighth inning.

The Slammers trailed, 4-1, in the fourth when the Miners marched 10 men to the plate.

Kaminsky gave up a one-out walk to Jon Eisen before Ryan Cavan singled him to third.

Nikko Vasquez singled home Eisen. Frank Martinez then hit a towering three-run home run, his seventh, over the right-field fence.

After Aaron Gates flied out, Chris Burke drew a walk.

Jay Austin doubled and then Steve Marino singled to center to score Burke and Austin.

Joliet scored a run in the

bottom of third when Max Casper and JD Dorgan singled to start the inning. Chris Epps’ sacrifice fly to right scored Casper.

The Slammers added two runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. Grant DeBruin and Russell Moldenhauer hit back-to-back singles before Adam Giacalone’s oneout single scored DeBruin. A wild pitch by Miners’ starter Michael Carden (4-3) scored Moldenhauer to make it 10-3.

The game was delayed in the bottom of the fifth inning when Spikes, one of the Slammers’ mascots, fell off the roof of the first-base dugout into the dugout.

Joliet Fire Department transported the person who plays Spikes to the hospital for precautionary reasons, according to Mark Vasko, the Slammers’ director of media relations. The team did not identify the person in the costume because of privacy concerns.

Joliet added a run in the fifth when the first two batters, Epps and Adrian English, drew walks. Molden-

hauer’s groundout to second scored Epps to make it 10-4.

After the Miners’ Gates hit a one-out home run to right field to make it 11-4, Joliet took advantage of Southern Illinois miscues to score more runs in the bottom of the sixth.

Casper reached on a throwing error by Cavan and Dorgan followed with an infield single. Epps walked to load the bases. English followed with a grounder to third baseman Marino. He threw to second to start the 5-4-3 double play, but Vasquez could not handle the throw.

Vasquez’s error allowed Casper and Dorgan to score.

Southern Illinois manager Mike Pinto lifted Carden for right-hander Britt Robertshaw. DeBruin’s fielder’s choice scored Epps to make it 11-7. Southern Illinois’ Austin drove in two runs with a single in the top of the eighth to make it 13-7.

DeBruin, who entered the game hitting .353, had two hits. Dorgan had three hits for the Slammers, who host Southern Illinois at 1:05 p.m. today.

Slammers first baseman Adam Giacalone waits on the ball on a pick-off throw by pitcher Alex Kaminsky as the Southern Illinois Miners’ Jon Eisen dives back to first base Saturday at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. The Slammers fell, 13-7, and host Southern Illinois again 1:05 p.m. Sunday.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The Joliet Slammers lost, 6-4, to the Evansville Otters on Friday night, dropping two of three games to the Otters in the series that preceded their return to Silver Cross Field for the series against Southern Illinois that began Saturday night.

Joliet and Evansville split a rain-delayed doubleheader Thursday.

Game 1 did not begin until after 8:30 p.m. and the doubleheader did not conclude until about 1:30 a.m.

The Slammers won the opener, 3-1, and dropped the nightcap, 7-5.

On Friday night, righthander Kody McFarland got off to a great start for the Slammers by striking out the side in the first inning but mysteriously lost his command in the second, when he allowed four runs as the Otters took a 4-1 lead.

Joliet battled back to get even, 4-4, as Russell Moldenhauer had RBI singles in the third and fifth innings and Chris Epps singled home a run in the sixth.

But Jeremy Nowak hit his second home run of the game in the bottom of the seventh to put Evansville ahead, 5-4.

Shayne Houck followed with his 19th homer, establishing a new franchise record, to account for the final score.

Moldenhauer finished with three hits and two RBIs, and he reached base four times as he also was hit by a pitch.

Grant DeBruin, the Frontier League hits leader, had two hits to raise his season total to 101.

Turnout strong for locally run Inwood event

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, August 10, 2014

JOLIET – After Anthony Buonicore realized just how much time he had to spend to pull off his biggest spectacle yet in Joliet, he joked that he might not have attempted it.

But based on all of the buzz from the crowd that turned out for Saturday’s event, the promoter of the locally-based Pro Wrestling Blitz realized that it was worth the effort.

Buonicore’s WrestleFest 5 took place before a standing room-only crowd in a warm Inwood facility that started filling up well before the action kicked off for the 6 p.m. show.

But the big crowd appeared to be getting its money’s worth as the lengthy card proceeded, thanks to a collection of talent that was unusual for such an event.

Many familiar names from the not-too-distant past were on hand for the event, and most of those competitors seemed to have a large number of supporters to cheer them on.

Fans seemed quite content to stand in long lines to get autographs and take pictures of legends such as Kurt Angle, Booker T, Kevin Nash and Scott Steiner.

“The best part about this is that I call all of these guys friends,” Buonicore said of his impressive collection of talent for the evening’s spectacle. “I didn’t just call up some manager and book these people.

They’re people that I talk to on the phone on a regular basis that I call friends.

“This shows that the last two months of all of the hard work that I did paid off.

QBs looking sharp as Bears beat Eagles

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, August 10, 2014

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press CHICAGO – No matter who the quarterback was, the Bears had no trouble finding the end zone.

Jay Cutler, Jordan Palmer and Jimmy Clausen threw touchdown passes to help the Bears beat the Philadelphia Eagles, 34-28, on Friday night in the preseason opener for both teams.

Cutler looked sharp in his brief stint. Palmer overcame an interception, and Clausen, the man he is fighting for the backup job, made a strong case, too.

“I like the way [Palmer] brought the team back,” coach Marc Trestman said. “He came back and moved the football team. And the same thing with Jimmy. I thought he moved the football team, was poised for a guy who’s been here so little

time.

“I think we saw something there, as well, so that competition continues.”

It was a different story for Philadelphia quarterback Nick Foles.

The Bears rattled him early, intercepting two passes even though they were missing Jared Allen. The five-time Pro Bowl defensive end and prized free-agent acquisition missed practices this week because his wife gave birth to a girl.

Tight end Martellus Bennett remained suspended by the Bears for his role in an altercation with cornerback Kyle Fuller at practice Monday. The Bears also were missing right guard Kyle Long (ankle) and right tackle Jordan Mills (foot), but had no trouble moving the ball.

AP photo Cutler made the most of his two possessions, completing Bears quarterback Jordan Palmer prepares to throw a pass during a preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday in Chicago. nine of 13 passes for 85 yards.

Baseball’s blah, but Bears season on the horizon CHICAGO – I can’t tell you how good it was to see football players in Bears uniforms facing off against football players in Philadelphia Eagles uniforms Friday night. I don’t care if they were third-stringers, fourth-stringers or Staley the mascot’s love children. Not after what we’ve been through this summer.

If you’ve paid any attention to either baseball team in town this year ... well, don’t you feel silly? The action at Soldier Field was the antidote to a dull White Sox season and a Cubs season built, apparently, on Javy Baez’s First, Second and Third Comings.

If the Cubs are selling hope, the Bears are selling a much more potent strain of it, one based on actual performance at a high level. At least offensively.

Many of us came to the first preseason game ready to concentrate on the Bears’ defense, which was the team’s undoing last season and no picnic for those of us forced to watch it.

Here’s a sentence that couldn’t be written in 2013:

VIEWS Rick Morrissey Pressure by Willie Young and Lamarr Houston led to Ryan Mundy’s first-quarter interception against the Eagles.

Those are three players who weren’t on the Bears’ roster last season. Come to think of it, the notion of defensive pressure wasn’t around last season, either. A little later in the Bears’ 34-28 victory, Houston even made a tackle while flat on his back. Imagine how it all might look when Jared Allen, who didn’t play Friday, suits up.

“We have depth; we have guys that can provide changeups,” Allen said after the game. “We have a solid D-line.

It’s great on paper, but you’ve got to put the work in. That’s all we’ve been doing.”

When Bears cornerback Sherrick McManis picked off a pass in the first quarter, it meant that Eagles quarterback Nick Foles had thrown

as many interceptions in the game as he had all last season.

Meaningless to him, maybe, but not meaningless here.

The defensive line did a good job of getting after the passer,” Mundy said. “[Foles] never really seemed comfortable when we were out there.

It always seemed like he was stepping up, going to the second and third option.”

The Bears’ first-string defense looked good in limited action. We didn’t see freerange running backs in the secondary, the way we did so often last season. Too small a sample size to get worked up about anything? Maybe in your even-keeled world. In my knee-jerk universe, defensive end-turned-linebacker Shea McClellin might want to learn how to shed a block. See? I’m in midseason form.

I’m sorry if I’m being gushy. The combination of football and a few decent defensive plays has made me giddy. I must be undergoing a “transformational process,” as Bears coach Marc Trestman might put it. By the way, the

Bears have a player named Tress Way, which I thought was the team’s philosophy, not a punter.

There was one buzz kill.

Actually, multiple buzz kills: Officials were throwing their freak flags all night, which is great only if you like penalties.

There were eight in the first quarter alone, 13 by halftime and 23 for the game. No one should be as intimate with referee Ron Torbert as the viewing audience was Friday.

All the yellow was harshing my mellow.

By midseason, we might not remember who the heck Zach Miller is, but we found out that (a) he is good enough to catch two touchdown passes in a preseason game and that (b) he’s from Wahoo, Nebraska. Now you know.

There were a few smaller offensive highlights from the starters, including a one-handed catch by Brandon Marshall off a pass from his personal MVP, Jay Cutler.

Matt Forte took out the legs of an evil-minded pass rusher on a block, reminding everyone

how valuable he is in other ways besides running the football.

Cutler played only two series, leaving us to the Jordan Palmer-Jimmy Clausen backup “battle.” Clausen hit receiver Chris Williams on a 73-yard touchdown play in the third quarter, and the portion of Chicago that lives for this stuff immediately cut Palmer.

The Bears gave up a 102yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the second quarter, and somebody probably got himself cut on that play alone.

The NFL is a cold, beautiful world.

This is how desperate the city was for any non-baseball pursuits: Starters Martellus Bennett, Kyle Long, Tim Jennings, Jordan Mills and Allen didn’t play, and it didn’t matter.

On a lovely night in Chicago, football was back. And it was good.

Olson noted that a committee including the principals, assistant principals and superintendent Dr. Cheryl McCarthy reviewed previous issues with night games. The administration has been meeting with members of the Joliet Police Department to make sure all i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed.

“The committee knew the community wanted night games,” Olson said. “We had to make sure Central is ready for this on opening night.”

Among those who spoke at a board meeting in favor of night games were Mitch Dolak, a senior quarterback at West, and representatives of the Joliet West Band Boosters.

“Mitch ran with it and wanted to see what he could do,” Aubry said. “There was a website where he put out a petition. The administration had been talking about this for a long time, but he did a good job stepping out. He was a voice to be heard.”

“The West band boosters were pretty vocal,” Olson said. “Playing Friday night allows the band to enter more competitions on Saturdays, or not miss games on Saturdays.

“It would be awesome if we could make this work. We will reassess it after this year. But I will say this, I have a lot of faith in our student body.”

The Joliet Central and West football teams have not experienced a home night game since the return to separate programs in 2010.

That will change when the new season begins Aug. 29.

Both Joliet Township schools have one home night game on the schedule.

Let’s hope it goes off without a hitch.

“We just had a few issues not involving our students, and we needed to change,” District Director of Activities and Athletics Chris Olson said of the move away from home night games. “I hope people embrace it this time.”

Make no mistake, high school football was created for Friday nights, the exception being when a field does not have lights. West and Central have lights. Central’s field is in a gorgeous setting in the daytime. Imagine it at night.

I have talked with players and coaches from both schools in recent years. They weren’t complaining, but it was evident night games would have been preferable.

In the case of the JT schools, however, safety at night games is a consideration.

“They’re going to do it the right way and make sure everyone is safe,” West coach Jason Aubry said. “They’ll try it once and see how it goes.”

Coach Brett Boyter’s Central team will open at home against Thornridge at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 29. Aubry and West will entertain Stagg at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 10. No sophomore game is scheduled either night.

“There are lots of activities after school that day, including a DJ, to keep kids there so they aren’t leaving and coming back,” Olson said of Central’s opener, which kicks off about three hours after school is dismissed.

No tickets will be sold at the game. Everyone planning to attend must purchase a

By JEFF ARNOLD jarnold@chicagofootball.com The narrow passageway that leads up the 17 carpeted steps connecting the first and second floors of Henry and Venita Vereen’s home wasn’t constructed with two-wide racing in mind.

On almost a daily basis, however, the couple’s sons would tear up the stairs, one as intent on beating his brother to the top as the other.

The foot races were rarely planned, instigated instead by something as simple as one of the boys starting to make his way toward the bottom of the stairwell or, God forbid, both arriving at the same time.

Either way, proceeding normally was never an option.

Because the path upward was so tight, the faster brother’s progress would be impeded by an ankle tackle from behind, causing a loud commotion. Venita Vereen would shake her head, wondering if her pleas for Shane and Brock Vereen to call a truce would ever be heeded.

“I was always on them, but it didn’t matter. It didn’t stop them,” she says. “It didn’t stop them one bit.”

It still hasn’t.

Ask Shane Vereen, a fourth-year New England Patriots running back, if his younger brother has ever beaten him in anything and he laughs, insisting he has always maintained the upper hand.

Pose the same question to Bears rookie safety Brock Vereen, and he too laughs before putting a new twist on the siblings’ competitive compulsion that extends from backyard basketball and Mario Kart to races to the refrigerator or to claim “shotgun” on family road trips.

“I’m definitely the video game champ – that’s 100 percent fact,” Brock says. “We haven’t played basketball in quite some time, but I’m definitely faster. And if [Shane] doesn’t like that, he can look

Brock had all he needed to succeed.

But while Brock and Shane each had their own personalities and style of approaching things, those outside the confines of their family still pushed Brock to match his older brother in everything he did. Brock remained unfazed.

“I don’t think Brock felt the pressure,” Henry Vereen said of his youngest son, whom the former Canadian Football League wide receiver coached in football, basketball and baseball until Brock started middle school. “But I think a lot of people tried to put a lot of that ‘Do what Shane did’ kind of twist onto it.”

Brock became keenly aware what following his brother entailed even before he reached high school.

LEFT: Shane (foreground) and Brock Vereen embrace at their family home in California after Brock was drafted by the Bears in the fourth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. Shane Vereen was a second-round pick by the Patriots in 2011. RIGHT: Shane Vereen (right) has always tried to point his younger brother, Brock, in the right direction when it came to football, even as far back when Shane played for the Patriots in flag football.

As much as he has impressed Tucker and defensive backs coach Jon Hoke during the offseason, Brock Vereen’s intensive training remains in front of him. During OTAs and a three-day minicamp, he proved himself to be an intelligent decision maker blessed with good natural instincts.

Much of the learning has come on the fly, keeping Vereen focused on putting new information into practice.

As promising as Vereen has looked, it is difficult for his coaches to gauge how NFLready the rookie really is.

“Football is a pad game; it’s a violent game,” Hoke said. “[In the offseason], all you’re doing is looking at their movement, seeing how much they pick up the scheme, how much they understand – that’s it.

“It’s not a true indication – especially with young players – how well they’re going to play pro football.”

Vereen realizes although he has passed an early test, much more awaits him.

At some point, Conte will return and will be given the opportunity to compete for the same starting job many have already penciled Vereen in for. Vereen can’t afford to take such prognostications seriously, knowing as a rook-

ie, he still lacks much of the knowledge and game experience many of his teammates possess.

“Some of these vets have been here for 10 years, 11 years, and I’m chasing that,” he says. “So I think you definitely have to put yourself in a mindset that you’re behind and you’re always in catch-up mode.”

That’s where Brock’s experience shadowing his brother will pay off.

Before the rookies left, quarterback Jay Cutler reminded them they are no longer in college and can’t consider the summer as a chance to get away and relax.

How rookies adjust to the change will go a long way in determining how much time they see once the season begins. Shane, for one, is confident his brother will be up for the challenge.

“He knows he’s a rookie and he knows he’s got a long, long way to go and a long road in front of him,” Shane said.

“He may not be ready right now, but he will be eventually.

I’ve got 110 percent confidence that he’ll be ready one day.”

••• Venita Vereen dreads Oct. 26 – the day in Week 8 of the regular season when the Bears and Patriots meet in

New England.

When friends bring up the game, she quickly changes the subject.

By then, Brock Vereen will have reached the midpoint of his rookie season. Despite being a veteran, Shane Vereen has difficulty making the nationally televised meeting just another game, considering the ties it has not only to his younger brother, but to his parents.

“I think it will be both stressful and the best game they’ve ever seen,” Shane says. “I’m trying to figure out who is rooting for me and who is rooting for him. But I think it will be fun. Not too many parents get to look out and see both their kids on the same field at the same time.”

Henry Vereen won’t allow himself to think too much about the game. Still, he is proud of what his boys have achieved and with the way Shane and Brock have managed to follow different paths to reach the NFL. “I thought Brock worked a little bit harder to get where he’s at than Shane did, but that’s just how things go sometimes,” Henry says. “But I’m just happy for them.”

Brock and Shane discuss the game at least twice a week. Each time a bit of

“friendly fire” – as Venita calls it – is exchanged. Shane reminds his younger brother how he has never beaten him at anything, and their first NFL meeting will be no different. Brock fires back, again finding a way to hold his own like he always has.

“I don’t think the trash talk will ever end,” Brock says.

Still, the boys’ mother wishes things could be different. She would feel better if both of her sons played on the same side of the ball. But because they don’t and because she vividly remembers those daily foot races up the stairs, she cringes to think of her boys being forced to go headto-head.

Always the peacemaker, Venita has already asked Shane to let Brock tackle him. She has also requested Brock allow Shane score a touchdown. Deep down, she knows her boys aren’t about to comply with her wishes.

“They looked at me like I was absolutely insane,” Venita says. “But this is the first time besides clowning around at home that they have to play against one another. This will be the first time it will be a head-to-head competition.

“I think everyone is looking forward to that game but me.”

Yet, there were those who kept insisting that would always be the case. Never one to outwardly show any frustration over the comparisons or constantly finishing second to his brother in the foot races and video game battles at home, Brock let football speak for him.

“I think that’s why Brock hits so hard on that football field – he’s making up for when he was a child,” Venita says, laughing. “I think that’s why he’s such a harder hitter.

He had to be.”

••• In addition to being Brock’s biggest competitor growing up, Shane Vereen also has been his brother’s compass.

After Brock was drafted by the Bears, Shane made certain Brock knew if he needed anything, just to call. Shane didn’t want to be overbearing and wanted Brock to learn on his own. But Shane also made sure his younger brother understood an important nugget of truth as he started offseason workouts.

“I’ve just tried to tell him to keep his mouth shut, do what’s asked of you and go out there and try to do the best you can every day,” Shane says. “That’s pretty much all a rookie really needs to know.”

For Brock, who spent the offseason working with defensive coordinator Mel Tucker’s first-team unit while incumbent starting safety Chris Conte recovers from offseason shoulder surgery, the learning curve has been steep.

To make things easier, Brock spoke almost daily with his older brother. Brock was able to gain a different perspective from Shane, who, like Henry Vereen, had never coddled Brock. Having a guide to see Brock through the early stages of his NFL career has been invaluable.

“I don’t see myself at this level right now without [Shane] mentoring me along the way,” Brock said. “It’s weird to have a role model on a team you’re going to get to play against, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get to it.”

McIlroy in the lead – barely The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOUISVILLE, Ky. – Rory McIlroy celebrated his final birdie with a smile and a slight pump of his first, knowing that 8-foot putt gave him the outright lead Saturday in the PGA Championship.

“It’s a great position to be in,” he said.

He’s just not used to it being so crowded at the top.

McIlroy has won all three of his majors with the lead going into the final round – by eight shots at the 2011 U.S. Open, three shots at the 2012 PGA Championship, six shots last month at the British Open.

Now comes another major test for Boy Wonder – a Sunday shootout.

He could hear it on a golf course resounding with cheers from every corner.

The 25-year-old from Northern

Ireland found an extra gear, closing with three birdies on the last four holes for a 4-under 67 and a one-shot lead over Bernd Wiesberger. Right behind were Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson. Still very much in the picture were Jason Day, Henrik Stenson and Louis Oosthuizen.

“Tomorrow standing on the first tee is going to feel different than how it felt a month ago at Hoylake because you don’t have that ... it is going to be a shootout,” said McIlroy, who was at 13-under 200. “You know the conditions are soft. Guys are going to make birdies. And you know that you’re going to have to make birdies as well.”

He did his part late in the round, rolling in a 20-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole, hitting 9-iron from 172 yards that landed with a splat next to the hole for an easy birdie on the 16th hole, and getting up-and-down from a bunker on the final hole.

RAYS 4, CUBS 0

Cubs hint at better days, but lose to Rays The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The Chicago Cubs at least are sprinkling hints of better days to come even though they keep piling up losses.

Never mind that they fell, 4-0, to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday and got shut down by Jake Odorizzi, there were a few good signs.

Javier Baez fought off nine pitches before driving a double in an otherwise rough game for him, and Arismendy Alcantara made several sparkling plays in center field.

“Things are definitely head-

ed in a positive direction,” Cubs starter Edwin Jackson said.

Odorizzi struck out nine in six scoreless innings and combined with two relievers on a five-hitter for Tampa Bay. Evan Longoria drove in a run and scored two. Yunel Escobar added two hits and three RBIs. Ben Zobrist had two hits and scored twice for the Rays, who improved to a major league-best 15-6 since July 12. They will try to complete the three-game sweep on Sunday.

Odorizzi (8-9) gave up three hits and didn’t walk anyone. The right-hander came within two

strikeouts of his career high after getting hit hard in a loss to the Los Angeles Angels last Sunday.

Jackson (6-12) allowed four runs – three earned – and five hits in six innings. He is 1-5 in his past nine starts.

Baez had a tough day overall, going 1 for 4 and committing his first error.

“He wants to prove to the whole world that he belongs here,” manager Rick Renteria said. “That’s part of the conversations – ‘You don’t have to carry the team on your back. You just have to be yourself. You have a lot of teammates.’”

‘A beautiful way to live’ Two women in recovery work at Joliet treatment and recovery center

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – “I thought I was going to be the crazy old lady at the end of the bar.”

A decade ago, if anyone had told Debbie Boedeker that she would be sober, working as the night manager at an addiction treatment facility and taking classes in addictions counseling, she would have laughed.

Jennifer Peachey, a counselor in the women’s extended care unit at the same facility – Stepping Stones in Joliet – had been in treatment seven times and had lost custody of her five children before she went into recovery.

Their stories are not uncommon, said Pete McLenighan, executive director at Stepping Stones. About half of the employees at Stepping Stones are in recovery from a substance abuse disorder, although not all of them received their treatment at Stepping Stones.

Nevertheless, McLenighan said, Stepping Stones is fortunate to have such employees as part of its team.

“They are some of the most dedicated people we have,” McLenighan said. “While every single person is different and each has their own story, we find that they are role models and sources of inspiration to people who are struggling.”

Boedeker said she began smoking and drinking in her early teens, socially acceptable activities in her world. In her 20s and 30s, she worked as a secretary – one known for efficiency and organization – in downtown Chicago.

“I had a high tolerance,” Boedeker said. “I could function and drink. I got more done in a day than most people did in a week. I even went through three or four company reorganizations where other people lost their jobs.”

THE HERALD-NEWS This year, Summit Hill School District 161 is welcoming 3,300 students to two programs.

The Action Lab program, the district’s college and career readiness initiative, will promote real-world science, technology, engineering and math concepts for seventhand eighth-grade students at

THE HERALD-NEWS NEW LENOX – A new science curriculum will be introduced to students in the 201617 school year as adopted by the state of Illinois Board of Education. Lincoln-Way will incorporate the new vision of science and engineering education with the shift toward having the students think through the process of science instead of just presenting science concepts to students.

Lincoln-Way Central’s Ruby Bruozas and Samantha Taylor, along with Lincoln-Way North’s Liz Hamann, attended the Wheaton -Warrenville South Modeling Methodology Workshop in June.

The Lincoln-Way physics group has most of its staff trained in some form of modeling, with Lincoln-Way East’s Ryan Lodes leading the way with a master’s degree in instruction from Arizona State University.

The Lincoln-Way science educators are among the 120 science teachers who are taking the two-week course at Wheaton-Warrenville South to become proficient in this type of science instruction.

The goal of the workshop is to familiarize science teachers with collaborative, inquiry-based learning strategies, such as the Socratic Seminar that most English courses at Lincoln-Way also use for higher-level student-centered learning.

JJC students study abroad in Japan JOLIET – Earlier this summer, 10 Joliet Junior College students flew to Matsuyama, Japan, to study abroad for three weeks.

Once they were settled on the campus of Ehime University – half a world away from home – the students began taking International Studies 101, taught by JJC International Education Coordinator Tamara Brattoli.

While Brattoli had attended a number of JJC’s annual study abroad trips to Japan, this was the first time she taught a class at the university. During every class, Ehime University students would stop in to practice their English with JJC students. Together, they would discuss cultural differences and issues.

JJC student Pawel Fudala said he learned in class and through the Japanese students was the concept of globalization and how it affects Japan and other countries.

During their free time, the students traveled to Tokyo, Hiroshima and Kyoto to visit many of the country’s famous historical sites. For one weekend during their trip, both Keib and Fudala stayed with host families.

Fudala said the parents drove their kids to sports practice and went shopping, just as American families do. Fudala accompanied his host mom, a teacher, to a tea ceremony for kindergartners and first-graders.

He also learned how to use a wooden samurai.

At Keib’s host family’s house, she learned how to do Japanese painting and tried on her host mom’s kimonos.

ROMEOVILLE – Local high school students were recently immersed into the Russian or Chinese cultures while participating in Lewis University’s 2014 STARTALK program, from June 16 through July 11 on the university’s main campus in Romeoville. The 30 students ranged from sophomores to seniors.

“A Trip to St. Petersburg/ Taipei” was the theme for this year’s free, four-week foreign language program.

As students made plans for their journey to the target language country, they learned how to get around the major Russian/Taiwanese city, learned about places of interest, engaged in basic conversations with local residents, and conducted simple transactions in stores, restaurants and asked for directions.

Students from various high schools participated in the program, hailing from towns including Bolingbrook, Romeoville, Plainfield, Naperville and Joliet.

STARTALK is a project of the National Security Initiative, a multi-agency effort to expand foreign language education in under-taught critical languages by funding new and existing programs and providing incentives and rewards for foreign language learning.

The overall mission is to increase the number of young Americans learning and speaking critical-need foreign languages by offering creative and engaging summer learning experiences for students.

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The contract’s fate is all in the timing

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Warren Spahn, a Hall of Fame pitcher who in 1957 won the World Series and Cy Young award playing for the Milwaukee Braves, said, “Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.”

What a simple way to sum up baseball. In bridge, timing can also be vital. In today’s deal, how should South time the play to make four hearts after West leads the spade queen? Let’s assume that declarer ducks (loses) the first trick and takes the second with dummy’s ace.

That South hand is worth more than 18 points because of all those aces and kings.

South needs to assume that the trumps are breaking 3-2; otherwise, the contract has no chance.

But even then, declarer still has four potential losers: one spade, one heart and two diamonds. The major-suit losers are unavoidable. If the missing diamonds are 3-3, there won’t be a problem. If, though, they are the more likely 4-2, declarer will have to ruff a diamond in the dummy.

Suppose South cashes his top trumps, then plays three rounds of diamonds. West wins the third diamond, cashes his heart jack, and takes the diamond queen for down one.

If instead South immediately plays three rounds of diamonds, West wins and plays a fourth diamond, which promotes a second trump trick for the defense.

The correct timing is not obvious. South must duck the first round of diamonds. Probably East will win and play another spade.

South ruffs, draws two rounds of trumps, then reverts to diamonds.

Even if a defender could ruff a high diamond, the contract would still be safe.

ADVICE Teen begins to notice parents’ emotional abuse Dear Abby: I’m a 15-year-old girl who has two younger brothers. My parents are good people, but they can be extremely harsh and cruel.

They curse us out and scream at us almost every day. I told my best friend about it and she said that it is emotional abuse. I disagree.

I have always been told that every parent yells at their kids.

I don’t know what to do. I have been suffering this almost my entire life. I didn’t think that it was abuse. AM I being emotionally abused? – Tired Of The Tirades Dear Tired: The answer to your question is yes, your friend is correct. Because your parents have been doing this on a regular basis, it qualifies as verbal/emotional abuse. Be glad you now recognize it, because their lack of control isn’t normal.

Their anger and frustration may have nothing to do with you and your siblings. The problem

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips with this kind of abuse – as opposed to physical abuse – is that although it is damaging, it is often not taken seriously.

If there are family members or close friends who can intervene, help your parents to see how damaging their lack of control is and convince them to get help.

Dear Abby: I have been dating a divorced man, “Chris,” for four years. He has a son who is 16. On the weekends Chris has his son, I become the “invisible girlfriend.”

Sometimes the three of us will go to a movie or out to eat, but I am NEVER welcome to spend the night.

Chris and I have talked about living together, but never in depth.

Unless I bring it up, he never says anything about it. When Valentine’s Day came around, Chris asked if we could celebrate it a few days late because he was scheduled to have his son that night.

I am beginning to think there is no future with Chris. He seems fine just dating, but not to commit to. Suggestions? – Dismissed In Denver Dear Dismissed: When you started dating Chris, his son was 12. It seems to me that what he has done is put his parenting responsibilities before anything else, and I respect that.

If romance and marriage are what you’re looking for, I suggest you stop asking Chris about living together and ask instead about whether the two of you have a future.

Neuropathic pain has multiple treatment options Dear Doctor K: I suffer from what my doctor calls “chronic neuropathic pain.” What are my treatment options?

Dear Reader: There are two main types of pain. Nociceptive pain results from an injury to tissues outside your nervous system. Burns, sprains and broken bones are all examples of nociceptive pain. Tiny nerve fibers are always present in tissues.

When the tissue gets injured, the nerve fibers detect it. The signal they send the brain is nociceptive pain. The signal says to the brain: “Do something to avoid further injury!”

Neuropathic (nerve) pain is the second type of pain. That’s the pain your doctor has diagnosed. It results from injury to or malfunction of the nerves themselves.

This causes abnormal processing of pain signals and sensations.

As a result, the nerve that was the mere messenger of pain now becomes a source of pain.

Neuropathic pain can result from diseases or conditions as varied as diabetes, shingles, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury or stroke. The pain may be felt as a burning or shooting pain, or you may have an unpleasant sensation of pins and needles. The pain may move out from one part of

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff the body and spread to adjacent areas. It can be chronic and difficult to manage.

You have likely already tried conventional over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) or naproxen (Aleve).

These medicines work a lot better for nociceptive pain than for neuropathic (nerve) pain.

I think there is little evidence that prescription pain medicines – particularly the potent opioid medicines – are effective for neuropathic pain. Since they are addicting and can cause serious side effects, they should never be continued unless it is clear they are relieving suffering.

For neuropathic pain, other types of drugs (all requiring prescriptions) can be more effective than traditional pain medicines.

Adding one of these following types of drugs won’t completely control your nerve pain, but it may help: • Anticonvulsants. These anti-seizure medications also help to blunt pain signals in the nerves.

The most commonly used for

nerve pain are gabapentin (Neurontin) and pregabalin (Lyrica).

They take four to six weeks for the full effect to kick in.

• Antidepressants. Certain types of antidepressants can also help to control nerve pain: a. Tricyclic antidepressants.

These drugs have the strongest evidence backing their ability to manage nerve pain. b. Serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs).

These drugs are prescribed at lower doses for pain than they are for depression. SNRIs have fewer side effects than tricyclics, but they may be less effective in treating neuropathic pain. c. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). These drugs are commonly prescribed for depression. Some doctors may try these for treating neuropathic pain, too. In my opinion, the evidence that they are effective for neuropathic pain is mixed.

When I was in medical school, we had few effective treatments for neuropathic pain. While we still need better treatments, we’ve made real progress.

All I’m asking for is an apple Dr. Wallace: My parents always prepare healthy meals. We eat three well-balanced meals daily, but I’m not allowed to eat any snacks even when I tell Mom that I’m starving. They tell me that it is only in my mind and eventually I will get over it. It’s not like I want to eat junk food. All I’m asking for is an apple or a banana.

I don’t see why eating a piece of fruit would not be eating healthy. Help! – Ann, Athens, GA. Dear Ann: It’s important to eat three well-balanced, nutritious meals per day, but it’s also desirable to eat well-balanced snacks when one gets a hunger pang, so says Judy Reilly, a nutritionist and author of the book, “I Love to Eat.” Check with your local library to see if a copy is available. If it is, check it out and see that Mom and Dad also read it.

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 16-year-old boy, and I’ve been good friends with a nice girl who attends the same high school that I do. She can’t go out with boys until she turns 16 in October, so we don’t really date.

I stopped by Lauren’s house last week because I needed a book she had borrowed from me.

When her mom answered the door, she was very rude and told me to leave her house immediately because Lauren isn’t allowed to see boys until she turns 16. She wouldn’t even let me explain about the book before she raised her voice and said, “Young man, I told you to leave this house. Are you hard of hearing?”

When I told my folks, they suggested that I stay far away from the girl and her mom. I really like the girl, and she likes me. What do you

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace think I should do? We are both nice kids and she is the sweetest girl I know. – Ryan, Frederick, Md. Dear Ryan: Wait to visit Lauren until she is 16, but you can still see her at school. Enjoy her company when you are with her, but don’t blame her for her mother’s rudeness.

Dr. Wallace: My older sister is very athletic.

She is into yoga and aerobic exercises. I’m not overweight, and I played junior varsity basketball at my high school, so I’m in pretty good physical shape.

My sister can touch the palms of her hands on the floor without bending her knees. Since I can’t even touch my fingers to the floor without bending my knees, my sister insists that I’ve got a back problem and should contact a chiropractor.

I’ve talked to a lot of my friends and they can’t touch their palms to the floor either. Do we all have a problem? – Cindy, San Jose, Calif.

Dear Cindy: Your sister is a very limber young lady, but your friends and you are in the majority. I conducted an unscientific survey. Of the 12 teens I tested, only one could touch her palms to the floor without bending her knees.

Oh, yes, two more took my test. I couldn’t touch the floor with my palms, but my wife could. She said she’ll make an appointment for me ...

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Finish what you started a long time ago. You have the discipline and the ability to realize some old goals. There is an opportunity to make some extra cash if you can turn your efforts, talent or skills into a sideline business.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Make a move now.

If you are offered an interesting position, accept the challenge it offers. You are overdue for some changes, and this can be the first step.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Stay in control of a situation that will influence your future. If you take action quickly, you will receive positive results. Be secretive to prevent others from meddling in your affairs.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Keep your opinions to yourself. Others may be particularly disagreeable, so work on something that you can do alone. Being drawn into petty arguments will be a waste of time.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Add some zest to your life. The use of all your talents will lead you to a new business venture.

Keep working toward your goal, and an amazing and profitable project will develop.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Avoid getting involved in joint ventures. Your generosity will cause problems. Control your spending, and keep tabs on how much you have and how much you owe.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – If you don’t want to do something, don’t be afraid to say no. Have a heart-to-heart talk with someone who is making life difficult or uncertain. Trying to please others will be emotionally and physically draining for you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Unless you have the relevant details, don’t feel that you have to make a decision. It’s likely that someone is withholding the information you need. Do your own fact-finding.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Don’t be too ready to offer details about your plans.

Giving someone personal facts or figures could set you up for a fall. Guard your interests carefully.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Spend more time doing things you enjoy. Downtime is just as important as time spent working, especially when it comes to mental health.

Gather your friends and have a good time with them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take a look at your bank account, assets and valuable possessions. You may have miscalculated expenses. Do away with non-essential purchases until you can get your finances sorted out.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Get all the facts. Serious discussions should be postponed until you feel ready and capable of acting responsibly. Legal or governmental matters are best handled with facts to back up your position.

Author Lois Lowry talks about ‘The Giver’

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now It’s no surprise that Lois Lowry is such a prolific writer. The longtime Cambridge, Massachusetts, resident recalls spending her childhood as a voracious reader of all kinds of books, especially adult books that had young protagonists.

She read and loved “A Tree Grows in Brooklyn” when she was 10, and fell under the spell of “The Catcher in the Rye” not long after.

Lowry, a chipper 77, crossed the river from Cambridge to Boston last week to talk about her young adult novel “The Giver,” a coming-of-age tale set in a dystopian future (written in 1993, well before the fad of “The Hunger Games,” etc.).

Though the Newbery Medal-winning book’s film rights were purchased by Jeff Bridges almost two decades ago, it’s taken all of these years to make it to the screen. The irony is that Bridges wanted his father Lloyd to play the titular old man, but so much time has gone by, he’s doing it himself.

Ed Symkus: You were writing poems and short stories for adults when you started out.

What got you into writing for younger readers?

Lois Lowry: I published a short story in a magazine. It was a story for adults, but it was seen through the eyes of a child.

A children’s book editor at Houghton Mifflin read it, got in touch with me, and asked if I would consider writing a book for young people. It never occurred to me, which amazes me now because I had four kids at the time, why I never thought of writing for kids.

So, I sat down immediately and began doing it. They didn’t promise to publish what I wrote, but to have a publisher at the other end, waiting for it, was a jump start.

The book was “A Summer to Die,” and they did publish it and it won a big international award. It coincided with the time my marriage was ending, and I was going to have to – oh, my goodness!

– make a living for the first time, and it occurred to me maybe that’s how I could do it.

Symkus: Some of the themes in “The Giver,” such as rebelling against conformity, have caused controversy among the conservative element in our society.

Lowry: Yeah, it was removed from the schools in the town of Holland, Michigan, and a town in Colorado. I forgot the name of that one. It’s not true any longer, but when that was happening so much, most often there would be a challenge, then there would be a process, and then there

But in a couple of places it was withdrawn. Beats me why. I think the reason it’s not being challenged any longer is because now that the young adult category has become so huge, there are a lot of so-called young adult books that are sexually explicit and that have a lot of violence.

If the people who challenge books want something to challenge, there’s better stuff out there for their purposes.

Symkus: Do you find yourself surprised at insights that people get out of your books, things that you hadn’t even intended?

Lowry: Oh, yes. Recently I’ve gotten questions about the theological implications of the apple, the “Adam and Eve” metaphor.

And I go, “What? I didn’t put that in there, folks.”

It’s interesting that people take out of what they’re reading what works for them.

Symkus: There have been many attempts at writing a script of “The Giver” over the years.

Was the initial one very different from the one that became the film, and did you work on any of them?

Lowry: Bob Weide wrote a screenplay in 1996. His was the earliest. There were four or five intervening ones, and Mike Mitnick wrote the last one. I didn’t work with either of them, but I was privy to

both of their scripts.

They emailed me the final screenplay, and asked me to go through it and make any notes, so I did. They took some of my advice and ignored, as they have every right to, some of my other advice. But the director emailed me continuously during the filming and the pre-production with little questions like, what do you want the boy’s bedroom to look like, how would it be furnished?

Symkus: The youngest kids in the book have stuffed animals that you term “comfort objects.”

Did you have a comfort object?

Lowry: Oh, I did. Pinky. [She smiles] When I was 4, we went to visit my grandparents, and when we came back home, my mother said that Pinky had gotten left behind at Grandma’s house. Pinky was a doll that was very faded and disgusting.

Symkus: What are you reading these days?

Lowry: I have just finished reading a biography of the Romanov sisters, the daughters of Nicholas and Alexandra.

I’m a history buff, but I like everything.

I’m reading an awful lot of Scandinavian mysteries lately. Go figure.

Symkus: Are you working hard on your next book?

Lowry: No, I’ve had to take the summer off from writing because I’ve been so busy with the movie stuff. But I’m eager to get back to it.
