PLAINFIELD

Transportation discussed at meeting

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Residents received several updates Wednesday morning from village officials about projects and changes in Plainfield during the monthly Coffee with the Mayor meeting.

They asked about the potential relocation of the PACE bus route away from Village Hall, ongoing issues with Canadian National Railway and housing developments.

Village Administrator Brian Murphy said plans to move one PACE bus route to another location are almost done. The current PACE Plainfield Parkn-Ride is at the village center, just west of Village Hall.

Increasing bus-related traffic has meant more congestion

on the western edge of downtown, and bigger issues with parking.

“It’s been a blessing and a curse to have it here,” Murphy said, adding the village has had to start ticketing cars using the Park-n-Ride for parking illegally in the Village Hall parking lot. “[PACE] wants to find a better home and we want to find them a better home.”

Canadian National

One resident said 135th Street sidewalks were being torn up at the rail grade crossing.

Murphy said the village is waiting on Canadian National for a permit number to proceed with work on the crossing improvements, which are designed for pedestrian and

bicyclist safety.

Director of Public Works Allen Persons said the village can only work on improvements to property in its jurisdiction.

“We don’t understand the delay [with Canadian National issuing the permit number],” Persons said. “It’s difficult to get their attention.”

The issues with Canadian National aren’t limited to rail

Evergreen Terrace plans still up in the air

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said there are some new developments related to Evergreen Terrace that may throw City Council members “for a loop” once City Manager Jim Hock updates them next week about a recent meeting with Federal Housing Administration officials.

“There’s definitely some developments,” O’Dekirk said.

“Hock was told some things by HUD that differed from what we thought we could do.”

Hock and O’Dekirk declined to comment on specifics.

But Hock said what he and other city officials learned during a meeting this week regarding Evergreen Terrace “could have an impact” on how the council moves forward with the controversial possible property acquisition and following transition.

Hock said he met earlier in the week with the administration and representatives from Holsten Real Estate Development and Management Corp., both of which have expressed interest in managing the property.

Until earlier this month, it was assumed if the city took

But the Housing Authority of Joliet now is in the running after presenting its own, less expensive redevelopment proposal to the council.

Hock said he wants to review the city’s options with council members. He said the council plans to go into executive session during Monday night’s pre-council meeting.

A vote on whether to amend the budget to buy the property for $15 million will follow Tuesday, he said.

City officials still are uncertain what will happen if they buy Evergreen Terrace by the court-ordered Sept. 1 deadline.

crossing improvements. Murphy said village officials have been irritated with the rail company for stopping trains in the middle of several major arterial crossings, restricting school bus and emergency vehicle access.

“Irritated is a polite word,” village trustee Jim Racich said.

Housing market

Several comments from the public focused on housing developments in the village.

Murphy said about 200 homes are being built this year – up from about 60 a year several years ago – and the village is working with Plainfield Community Consolidated School District 202 on how Plainfield schools can absorb the growth.

Will County Sheriff’s Office going back to the dogs More online

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET TOWNSHIP – It takes Roxy about five seconds to find the small amount of marijuana hidden in the trailer. Sem slightly longer.

“Having a canine is a really good tool. When people hear the dog barking in the car behind me, they’re usually very forthcoming if they’re carrying anything [illegal],” said Sem’s handler, Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Brett Bartunek.

Sem is a 16-month-old male Belgian Malinois and Roxy, who is handled by Deputy Robert Denny, is a 2-year-old female of the same breed. The dogs began working this summer when grants and drug seizure funds were used to reactivate the office’s canine unit.

K-9 Unit Supervisor Steve Hunter said the office first tried using dogs in the 1970s and brought the unit back in the early 1990s before shutting it down four years ago.

“There were concerns about our liability and a lack of productivity,” Deputy Chief Jerry Nudera said.

But this year, Hunter secured a $13,000 grant from the Citgo Lemont Refinery to buy two dogs, Roxy and Sem, who were named by their Ohio-based trainers.

Bartunek and Denny were among 11 deputies who applied to become canine handlers.

Bartunek has worked with animals for a long time, including during an overseas military deployment. Denny would watch dog searches when he was in the narcotics unit.

Deputy Chief Tom Budde said Roxy and Sem are not trained to restrain suspects as “bite dogs.”

“They’re for tracking and detection of narcotics – mar-

This eliminates some liability concerns.

“When I was in investigations, an elderly lady wandered off and went missing.

We had to call out to every other department for canines,” Sheriff Mike Kelley said. “We’re just too big for that, there’s too much area and smaller departments rely on us to provide resources.”

The dogs work separately, but train together each month with canines from other police departments.

In May, they both were certified as Narcotic Detection Canines by the state’s Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board. Denny and Roxy began patrolling Will County in June, and Bartunek and Sem started in July.

The dogs each are trans-

“She [Roxy] sees me coming with my uniform on and she’s ready. She knows it’s time to go to work.”

Robert Denny Will County Sheriff’s deputy

ported in $35,000 Ford Explorers, which feature a rear kennel for their comfort and a system to monitor the tem-

perature. If the deputy is out of the vehicle and it reaches above 80 degrees, the horn sounds, the rear windows

roll down and a high-speed fan turns on. The system also pages the deputy when the alarm is activated.

“And that’s all just if something goes out because I’m typically running the A/C for [Roxy] anyway,” Denny said.

When Roxy finds drugs, Denny makes it a point to thank the suspect for their donation to maintaining the canine program. Proceeds from drug-related seizures were used to buy and equip the Explorers.

Timberline Animal Hospital has donated veterinary care and Alsip Nursery has donated food for the dogs.

Kelley said he will “absolutely” expand the program if seizure funds can offset the cost of additional canines and equipment or other companies sponsor grants.

“These dogs don’t face the same stress on their joints and muscles as bite dogs. If everything goes well, they could work at the department for 10 to 12 years,” Hunter said.

After Roxy sniffed along the trailer and sat down to “alert” officers that near the wheel well was where the 5-gram packet of marijuana had been placed, Denny rewarded her with a tennis ball to chew on.

“We don’t do that on vehicle searches because I don’t want her getting excited where there’s traffic,” Denny said.

And Roxy can get excited.

“She sees me coming with my uniform on and she’s ready. She knows it’s time to go to work,” Denny said.

PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP

Officials question political fundraiser Congressional candidate Tonia Khouri’s campaign schedules event Aug. 23

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD TOWNSHIP – A fundraiser for congressional candidate and Aurora resident Tonia Khouri may not be held at the Plainfield Township Community Center after potential political conflicts of interest were Tonia Khouri discovered.

The fundraiser in question was Khouri’s “Yummy Chicken Dinner” fundraiser event that was scheduled from 3 to 4 p.m. Aug. 23 in the community center at 15014 S. Des Plaines St. in Plainfield.

Supervisor Tony Fremarek said at a township meeting Wednesday that the

board discovered the event would be in violation of the township’s stance on holding political events on township property.

“The fact that the park district didn’t have a policy around [not allowing political fundraisers in the center] caught us off guard,” Fremarek said, noting the township owns the building but the Plainfield Township Park District, another entity, manages the center’s rental policy.

Fremarek said he was told the event would be moved, and that he would talk with the park district about meshing the township’s policy into the rental policy.

Park district Executive Director Carlo Capalbo said at a separate park district meeting Wednesday that he will

“The fact that the park district didn’t have a policy around [not allowing political fundraisers in the center] caught us off guard.”

Tony Fremarek Plainfield Township supervisor

soon have a discussion about the policy with township officials.

The only resident in attendance at the township meeting, Jim Racich, spoke in support of canceling the event.

“I think you should motion to deny the use of it and make a very strong point that says you, this group of peo-

ple, are upset over the fact that a specific political event [was approved for the community center],” Racich said, noting that several township officials were listed on a mailer sent out to Plainfield residents.

Township Trustee Matthew Starr and tax collector Yvonne Bolton are listed as members of Khouri’s “Host Committee.” Trustee Debbie Kraulidis is a co-chair for the event.

All three said at the end of the meeting they didn’t know about the location of the event until the mailer was sent out.

After a back-and-forth discussion that grew in intensity between Racich and the combination of Fremarek and Trustee Chuck Willard, Racich said he thought Fre-

marek really wanted the event to continue because Fremarek wasn’t committing to stopping the event.

Fremarek and Willard, upset at the accusation, said the booking was an honest mistake, nothing nefarious.

Trustee Ernie Knight, who brought the issue to township officials last week, said he appreciated the quick action of the board to address it.

When asked Wednesday night if the event would still be held at the community center, Khouri said it was normal procedure to hold political events at park district locations, and she wasn’t made aware of any conflict of interest with the township.

But she said she respected the township officials and would adhere to their recommendation.

D-86 board postpones superintendent search firm decision Board inspectors want to nail down travel costs for company

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Public School District 86 Board inspectors decided to hold off on approving an agreement with a company to search for the new superintendent as they figure out travel costs.

At Wednesday’s board meeting, inspectors were set to vote on approving an agreement with Ray And Associates Inc. from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, until Board Inspector Jeffrey Pritz asked about travel expenses for a representative from the company.

The school district is in the process of choosing a search firm to find candidates to become the next superintendent after Charles Coleman an-

nounced his retirement from the position earlier this summer.

Pritz said after the meeting he wanted to make sure board members understood what was included in travel expenses since the company is from Iowa. He said during the meeting if a representative takes a flight to a Chicago airport every couple of weeks “that’s going to get into a little bit of money.”

Board Inspector Quinn Adamowski said he personally thought Ray And Associates Inc. was the right firm and he wanted the board to do whatever it could to work out travel issues.

“Given the fact they’re in Cedar Rapids though, I mean it’s only 2½ hours away,” he

said.

Board President Gwendolyn Ulmer said she called several school districts that did business with the company and she received positive responses from all except one in Aurora.

She said Aurora school officials’ response was negative because they initially began their search at the local level, but then chose to do a national search for a bilingual candidate given the school district has a high Latino population.

That slowed the search process down, and they had to start from scratch, she said.

The Aurora school district also had to search once more for a superintendent after finding the right candidate because of state licensing issues, she said. She said they were

negative about the search process, not the company’s performance.

After discussing travel issues, the board decided to not yet vote on approving the selection of a search firm.

Start of new school year

Superintendent Coleman said every District 86 school was preparing for the beginning of a new school year, which begins Aug. 19.

“A lot of excitement and activity has taken place for preparation of a great start,” he said.

Tanisha Cannon, assistant superintendent of student services, said school registration was up by 85 percent, which was higher than last year in August. She said principals

“We’re ready to receive those students that have registered, and we’re not going to stop encouraging registration until we have everyone accounted for.”

Tanisha Cannon Assistant superintendent of student services for District 86 are going door to door and secretaries are making cold calls to ensure students are being registered for school.

“We’re ready to receive those students that have registered, and we’re not going to stop encouraging registration until we have everyone accounted for,” Cannon said.

Will, Grundy included in ag disaster designation

Will and Grundy counties are among the 87 in Illinois that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has included in an agricultural disaster area designation that will make farmers eligible for low-interest emergency loans.

Gov. Bruce Rauner requested in a July 23 letter the declaration, which also includes 14 contiguous counties, to help farmers who suffered losses because of rain and flooding this year, according to a news release from Rauner’s office.

The 19 members of the Illinois Congressional Delegation also signed a letter to President Barack Obama to endorse the governor’s request for this designation.

East Joliet Fire District gets federal grant

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin announced Wednesday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency has awarded a $216,667 grant to the East Joliet Fire Protection District for operations and safety.

The funding will support and improve the capability of the department to respond to fires and other types of emergencies, according to a news release from Durbin’s office.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, speaks to a gathering of community college representatives Wednesday during the 50th anniversary of the Illinois Public Community College Act at Joliet Junior College in Joliet.

JJC celebrates Illinois Public Community College Act

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Eric Wilhelmi was not the kind of student who was bound for college – until Joliet Junior College showed him he was.

Wilhelmi shared his story about how he succeeded at JJC with several state education, community college and elected officials Wednesday. They were celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Illinois Public Community College Act, which established the current system of accessible higher education institutions that would benefit students such as Wilhelmi statewide.

“This place has just been riddled with opportunities,” Wilhelmi said.

Before he came to JJC two years ago, Wilhelmi said he was a student who would often skip classes and he thought it was a miracle he graduated high school. But his time at JJC was transformative. He is now the student government president and helped JJC earn national recognition with environmentalist initiatives.

“I was told this was going to be a springboard to my future, but I would not insult my institution like that. To call it a

“This place has just been riddled with opportunities.”

Eric Wilhelmi Joliet Junior College student

springboard would imply it is something that’s beneath you, that’s something that you put your feet on, but this has been a first class ticket to a future,” Wilhelmi said.

JJC President Debra Daniels said the community college – the nation’s first – had a hand in the development of legislation that led to the act. She said JJC’s first president, Elmer Rowley, was active at the state level when conversations about the legislation began.

“We have even more to be proud of here at Joliet Junior College,” she said.

Karen Hunter Anderson, Illinois Community College Board executive director, said 50 years ago Illinois saw the significance of community colleges, which now make up a statewide network that touches the lives of almost one million students annually, she said.

“We don’t offer shop classes or teach key punch anymore.

We teach nanotechnology and photon therapy,” she said. “We partner with local business and industry to develop skills that will be necessary for jobs of the future.”

She read a proclamation from Gov. Bruce Rauner that said July 15, 2015, to July 15, 2016, would be the “year of the community college” in honor of the state community college system.

State Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, who joined JJC’s Project Achieve to help first-generation, low-income and special needs students, said people should consider the value of higher education institutions by effectiveness rather than exclusivity.

He said exclusive institutions usually send their graduates to Wall Street to work in the finance sector while community colleges produce a workforce – such as teachers, police officers and nurses – who help people.

“So you know what? For my money, those exclusive joints on the East and West Coast that send their graduates to Wall Street, let them be as smug and as self-satisfied as they want.

I’m sticking with Joliet Junior College and Illinois’ other community colleges,” he said.

Joliet police: Sleeping driver had backpack of marijuana

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 15-year-old boy was arrested early Wednesday and charged after police said they saw him going through unlocked cars.

Deputy Chief Ed Gregory said about 2:30 a.m. a resident of the 2200 block of Douglas Street called police after seeing two boys wearing hoodies “checking door handles” of cars parked outside.

“When plainclothes officers arrived, they saw one of

them sitting inside a car. As they approached he took off running – leaving behind a trail of items,” Gregory said.

A canine unit tracked the boy and found him hiding in a yard down the block, according to authorities.

The teen was arrested on charges of burglary, resisting arrest and violating curfew and booked into the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center.

Gregory said Wednesday afternoon police were seeking another juvenile suspect.

Stateville inmate diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – An inmate at the Stateville Correctional Center has been diagnosed with Legionnaires’ disease.

Department of Corrections spokeswoman Nicole Wilson confirmed Thursday one inmate has been diagnosed and removed for treatment at a hospital.

“No other inmates have shown symptoms and his cellmate has tested negative,” Wilson said. “We are working to identify the source and have already begun sanitizing potential areas of concern.”

Most people who become infected with the potentially fatal pneumonia do so by inhaling aerosolized water droplets containing legionella bacteria, according to mayoclinic.org. It is not transmitted from person to person.

Will County Public Health Department spokesman Vic Reato said Wednesday the department is aware of the Legionnaires’ case, but prison incidents are managed by the state Department of Public Health.

State spokeswoman Melaney Arnold said the Stateville outbreak is the 95th case in the state this year.

JOLIET – Police say a Plainfield man picked the wrong spot for a nap early Wednesday.

About 1:45 a.m., officers were stopped at the traffic light at the Six Corners intersection at Black Road, Raynor Avenue, Ruby Street and Route 30 when they noticed several cars honking and pulling around a 2015 Jeep on eastbound Black Road, according to Joliet Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory.

“The officers pulled up and the Jeep did not move forward.

When they approached the vehicle, the driver appeared to be sleeping with his arms folded over the wheel and his face in his arms,” Gregory said.

After 30 seconds of tapping on the window, police were able to rouse Ronald I. Rameriz, Ronald I. 28, who rolled Ramirez down the window to release “a strong odor of cannabis,” Gregory said.

Special needs day at Three Rivers festival continues to grow

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – James Kopin, 7, of Channahon sat next to his cousin, with his “Star Wars” hat pulled on tight as the caterpillar ride climbed steadily up its tracks.

As the ride let loose rushing down the hill and around curves, laughter could be heard from his family members and friends around him.

Laughter was the only sound on the Fantasy Amusement Carnival ride Wednesday afternoon at the Three Rivers Festival in Channahon as the miniature roller coaster carried fun-seekers. The lights and music were shut off so those attending who have sensory issues could enjoy their time at the carnival.

“This is our third year coming here,” said his mother, Jill Kopin. “It’s huge for us. He can come here and there isn’t a thousand people and all the lights.”

Wednesday marked the fifth year the Three Rivers Festival opened just for people with special needs for an afternoon before opening to the public Wednesday night.

The event is hosted by the Channahon-Minooka Rotary, Joliet Rotary and Morris Rotary clubs.

James Kopin has autism spectrum disorder. For many with ASD the crowds, lights, loud music and other noises associated with a carnival make it difficult for them to attend.

So when Three Rivers Festival provides the Special Needs Day, its perfect for James and others with special needs.

Mike Rittof, Three Rivers Festival co-chairman and Jo-

If you go WHAT: Three Rivers Festival WHEN: Now through Sunday, opens 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 9:30 a.m. Saturday and 10 a.m.

Sunday WHERE: Central Park, Route 6 and Bluff Road in Channahon ETC.: For information, visit channahonpark.org liet Rotary member, said organizers got the idea of hosting a Special Needs Day after doing research on Fantasy Amusement Co. “The idea originated when we changed to Fantasy Amusement. When we were calling references we found out they did a Special Needs Day with another Rotary Club,” Rittof said. “We went to see how it worked and decided to offer it here.”

Fantasy Amusement donates all its services in order to have rides running so children and adults with special needs can enjoy the day with friends and family.

Jill Kopin said the opportunity has enriched her son’s life. It’s made it easier for him to go to carnivals because he knows what to expect. But the day open to just the families of special needs is much easier.

Rittof said the event has grown since it’s inception five years ago when about 150 people attended. This year more than 1,000 signed up to attend.

Lunch was provided by Carnagio Enterprises, franchise owners of six McDonald’s restaurants including the one on Mondamin Street in Minooka. Dessert was provided by TCBY in Shorewood.

“The idea originated when we changed to Fantasy Amusement. When we were calling references we found out they did a Special Needs Day with another Rotary Club. We went to see how it worked and decided to offer it here.”

Dozens of U.S. states have passed police reform measures in the wake of two fatal police encounters last year.

But only three states – Illinois, Colorado and Connecticut – have approved comprehensive plans, according to a recent Associated Press analysis. Supporters said the Illinois law could be a model for other states as police practices come under heightened scrutiny.

The Illinois measure had strong bipartisan support as well as backing from police unions, the American Civil Liberties Union and the NAACP. The law, which fully takes effect in January 2016, also calls for independent reviews of all police-involved deaths and creates a database to help track officers dismissed for misconduct. Effective immediately is the forming of a commission that will review training requirements and other issues and report to legislators and the governor by the end of January.

CHICAGO – Illinois has become one of the first states nationwide to establish wide-ranging law enforcement rules for body cameras, bias-free policing and more data collection on arrests under a measure signed into law Wednesday by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

The plan – which was sponsored in the Legislature by state Rep. John Anthony, R-Plainfield, along with state Sen. Kwame Raoul, D-Chicago, and state Rep. Elgie Sims, D-Chicago – beefs up reporting guidelines for officers making pedestrian stops and arrests, largely prohibits chokeholds and adds guidelines for training to help officers become aware of bias and cultural competency.

“It was a privilege to work with law enforcement as well as community groups to negotiate this trailblazing piece of

legislation,” Anthony said in a news release. “Most law enforcement officers have a genuine desire to serve and protect all residents of their communities fairly, and they welcome tools, such as body cameras and the officer misconduct database, that can help them do their jobs more effectively.”

The new law doesn’t mandate body cameras, but does specify how they should be worn, when they have to be turned on and how long recorded videos should be kept. Illinois would help departments pay for the cameras and training for officers with grants funded by a $5 increase in traffic tickets.

“We are taking steps to strengthen the relationship between our law enforcement officers and the public they protect,” Rauner, who signed the bill in private, said in a statement. “It will have a lasting and positive impact on the people of Illinois.”

Turn back time with a Glycolic peel SPONSORED BY

Is younger looking skin your dream? Make it a reality with a chemical peel.

“Glycolic peels done in a series can reduce the visible signs of aging, fine lines, wrinkles and photodamage,” said Kathe Malinowski, lead esthetician and marketing manager for Eterna MedSpa & Laser Vein Center.

Glycolic peels, or alpha-hydroxy acid chemical peels, are ideal for those who have brown spots from the sun, also known as hyperpigmentation, and mild hyperkeratosis, a thickening of the outer layer of the skin. They can also combat mild chronoaging, which is a loss of collagen, and mild photaging, referring to the damage done to the skin over a person’s lifetime.

Want to enhance the tone of your skin? Glycolic peels can do that, too, with minimal downtime To prepare for a glycolic peel at Eterna MedSpa, Malinowski recommends coming in makeup-free.

“We cleanse your skin to degrease. Then we use a prep solution to get the pH level of your skin ready to accept the peel,” she said.

Glycolic acid is applied to the skin and then neutralized to end the peel process.

The last step is the application of a sunscreen lotion with SPF. That should continue to be liberally applied by the client following the procedure.

“It is very important to stay out of the sun a good week after a peel and most important to wear a daily SPF,” Malinowski said.

How many peels are needed to see results? “Peels of any kind are best done in a series of three to five,” Malinowski said.

Don’t wait to rid yourself of fine lines and wrinkles.

U of Illinois to dismiss chancellor, rejects $400,000 bonus

URBANA – University Of Illinois officials plan to dismiss Chancellor Phyllis Wise rather than accept her resignation and pay her an agreed $400,000 bonus.

But President Timothy Killeen said he intends to offer her a faculty position in which she would report directly to him.

Killeen and university trustees announced those moves at a meeting of a trustees committee Wednesday, nearly a week after Wise tendered her resignation.

The action followed calls by Gov. Bruce Rauner and others to rescind the award in the aftermath of the school’s announcement last week that Wise and other administrators had used their private email accounts to avoid scrutiny of their communications on university business.

Sen. Kirk’s campaign defends putting caregiver on payroll

CHICAGO – U.S. Sen. Mark Kirk’s campaign manager said Wednesday the Illinois Republican did things “by the book” when he gave a campaign job to a personal caregiver hired to assist him following a 2012 stroke.

Kirk’s campaign paid the live-in caregiver – who had no campaign experience – more than $43,000 between August 2013 and the end of 2014, The Chicago Tribune reported. The newspaper also reported caregiver Mervyn Fombe-Abiko was twice arrested on theft and fraud charges.

Kirk is seeking re-election in what’s expected to be one of the most competitive 2016 races.

Paul Ryan, senior counsel for the Campaign Legal Center, a nonpartisan Washington-based organization that advocates for campaign finance reform, said the arrangement raised questions about whether Kirk used political donations for personal expenses in violation of Federal

Illinois Democrats relent, adopt ‘clean’ federal funds bill

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois House agreed Wednesday to unlock $5.2 billion in federal funding for such things as energy assistance, family nutrition and cancer screenings after Democrats backed off their push to include some state spending in the bill.

House Speaker Michael Madigan drew the ire of Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner after he attempted to tuck more than $700 million in state funds into the measure authorizing federal spending. Rauner objected because there’s no state budget for the fiscal year that began July 1 and he continues to feud with legislative Democrats over the matter.

Democrats didn’t have enough members present to approve Madigan’s plan without GOP help, but it was debated nearly an hour before failing with just 54 votes. Later, the chamber voted 98-0 to enact only federal spending.

House Republicans were incredulous that Democrats pushed the additional spending when the original, “clean” bill swept through the Senate last week without opposition and had a thumbs-up from Rauner.

Then, during the acidic debate, the Democratic-controlled Rules Committee approved the new version and sent it to the floor, action that’s announced from the chair.

“When I explain to my constituents what goes on here, sometimes I have to thank [Democrats] because I couldn’t make this stuff up on my own,” said GOP Rep. Chad Hays of Catlin. “Seventy-five percent of the General Assembly has finally reached an agreement on an issue, and we’re playing out this clown act once again. While the debate is going on, the bill that will actually pass is being cooked up in the back room.”

After passage of the replacement measure – which must return to the Senate for concurrence, Rauner applauded the spending approval “without

adding to the state’s budget deficit.”

“This bill allows the state to provide services to some of our most vulnerable citizens while we continuing working on passing much needed structural reforms and a balanced budget,” Rauner spokeswoman Catherine Kelly said in a statement.

Alleged Chicago police torture victim conviction vacated

CHICAGO – An Illinois appeals court has vacated the conviction of an alleged Chicago police torture victim who has served nearly 25 years in prison for the 1990 robbery and murder of a cab driver.

In a ruling handed down Wednesday, the appellate court said the denial of Shawn Whirl’s successive post-conviction petitions by the Cook County Circuit Court was erroneous. The court ordered Whirl receive a new suppression hearing and, “if necessary, a trial.”

Whirl was convicted in 1991 in the fatal shooting of Chicago cabdriver Billy G. Williams and sentenced to a 60-year prison term.

In 2014, a judge denied Whirl’s petition for a new trial even though the Illinois Torture Inquiry and Relief Commission ruled Whirl’s confession had been coerced.

Vendors: Illinois State Fair must go on without budget

SPRINGFIELD – Vendors who will be working at the Illinois State Fair this week said they’re used to uncertain state budgets, but that doesn’t mean the current deadlock isn’t concerning.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has said some fair exhibitors and performers might not get paid on time this year, as the Republican and Democratic leaders in the General Assembly work out a budget impasse, and Department of Agriculture officials have issued assurances that the fair will go on and bills will get paid. Fair vendors recently agreed to work even though their paychecks may be delayed.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Former President Carter says he has cancer

ATLANTA – Former President Jimmy Carter revealed that recent liver surgery found cancer has spread in his body but gave few details about his prognosis in a brief statement released Wednesday.

“Recent liver surgery revealed that I have cancer that now is in other parts of my body,” Carter said in the statement released by the Carter Center. “I will be rearranging my schedule as necessary so I can undergo treatment by physicians at Emory Healthcare.”

Judge to Ky. clerk: Issue gay marriage licenses

FRANKFORT, Ky. – A county clerk in Kentucky will not immediately issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, her lawyer says, despite a federal judge ordering her to do so Wednesday in a case that seeks to reconcile the country’s new marriage law and its protections of religious freedom.

Smoke and fire erupt into the night sky after explosions late Wednesday in the Binhai New Area in north China’s Tianjin Municipality. At least 17 were reported killed and hundreds injured in the port explosions.

At least 17 dead, hundreds hurt in Chinese port warehouse blasts

By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN The Associated Press TIANJIN, China – Huge explosions in a warehouse district sent up massive fireballs that turned the night sky into day, killing at least 17 people and injuring hundreds in the Chinese port city of Tianjin, officials and witnesses said Thursday.

China’s state broadcaster, CCTV, said at least 17 people were killed in the explosions late Wednesday and 32 were in critical condition in hospital. Hundreds of others were taken to hospital.

The blasts, originating at a warehouse for hazardous material, knocked doors off buildings in the area and shattered windows up to several miles away.

“I thought it was an earthquake, so I rushed downstairs without my shoes on,” Tianjin resident Zhang Siyu, whose home is several miles from the blast site, said in a telephone interview. “Only once I was outside did I realize it was an explosion. There was the huge fireball in the sky with

thick clouds. Everybody could see it.”

Zhang said she could see wounded people weeping. She said she did not see anyone who had been killed, but “I could feel death.”

There was no indication of what caused the blasts, and no immediate sign of any large release of toxic chemicals into the air. The Beijing News newspaper reported on its website there was some unidentified yellow foam flowing at the site.

Police in Tianjin said an initial blast took place at shipping containers in a warehouse for hazardous materials owned by Ruihai Logistics, a company that says it is properly approved to handle such materials. State media said senior management of the company had been detained by authorities, and that President Xi Jinping has demanded severe punishment for anyone found responsible for the explosions.

The official Xinhua News agency said an initial explosion triggered other blasts at nearby businesses. The Na-

tional Earthquake Bureau reported two major blasts before midnight, the first with an equivalent of 3 tons of TNT, and the second with the equivalent of 21 tons.

The explosions took place in a mostly industrial zone, with some apartment buildings in the vicinity. Buildings of a half-dozen other logistics companies were destroyed in the blasts, and more than 1,000 new Renault cars were left charred in a nearby parking lot, the Beijing News said.

Photos taken by bystanders and circulating on microblogs show a gigantic fireball high in the sky, with a mushroom-cloud. Other photos on state media outlets showed a sea of fire that painted the night sky bright orange, with tall plumes of smoke.

About 1.2 miles from the explosion site is the luxury Fifth Avenue apartment complex on a road strewn with broken glass and pieces of charred metal thrown from explosion.

Like surrounding buildings, the complex had all its windows blown out, and some of its surfaces were scorched.

Are fairs a service Illinois should keep providing?

SPRINGFIELD – Losers.

State and county fairs count on them.

They are the folks who hand their dollars to carnies to throw darts at balloons or toss pingpong balls at fish bowls.

But, unfortunately, the Illinois State Fair has become the home of another kind of loser: the failed political candidate.

And until this year, administration after administration – Republicans and Democrats alike – have handed the job of state fair manager to politicians who have lost elections.

The job’s become a sort of concession prize for those who can’t win the support of voters.

And, ultimately, the real losers are the Illinois taxpayers who have ended up seeing their tax dollars poured into the money-losing festivals year after year.

Govs. Rod Blagojevich and Pat Quinn appointed Amy Bliefnick to run the State Fair after she made an unsuccessful bid for the state Legislature as a Democrat.

Her predecessor, Republican Harold “Bud” Ford, was appointed by Gov. George Ryan. He, too, made an unsuccessful bid for the Legislature.

Later, he worked on Ryan’s campaign.

“George Ryan appointed me state fair director as a reward for the help I gave him in getting elected,” Ford told me last year. “I worked on his campaign and helped George carry 25 counties in northern Illinois. I let him know that the only position in the administration I was interested in was heading the state fair.”

Patronage appointments such as these have been commonplace in the Land of Lincoln.

They also have helped land the state in the financial quagmire we are now in.

The Illinois State Fair manager job pays $120,000 a year. And a house on the state fairgrounds is provided, as well.

But, of course, patronage costs us in more ways than just the salary and benefits of the individuals involved.

Where it really costs taxpayers

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder is when people who aren’t the most qualified are managing money and projects on our behalf.

And that is what has happened in Illinois, until recently.

Political cronies have managed Illinois’ two state fairs. One is in Springfield and a second is in DuQuoin, in southern Illinois.

The two state fairs lost $71.2 million between 1993 and 2013.

This year, Gov. Bruce Rauner appointed Patrick Buchen to head both fairs. Previously, each fair had its own manager.

“Someone asked me if I had a background in Illinois politics. My response was, ‘No.’ I haven’t even lived in Illinois since I graduated from Monmouth College,” said Buchen, 63.

What Buchen does have in his portfolio is plenty of experience in the trade show and agriculture industries.

“I grew up on a farm, spent many years with the purebred cattle associations. And I have some fair experience,” he said. “I not only have been going to fairs since age 9, when I was in 4-H. … I also managed the Indiana State Fair.”

Buchen said the key for the Illinois State Fair operations to gain greater financial success is to have the two fairgrounds used more for events, such as trade shows and concerts, when the fairs aren’t taking place.

While it is refreshing to have someone qualified at the helm of the state fairs, one can’t help but wonder: Are fairs a service state government should continue to provide?

In some other states, private foundations operate state fairs without taxpayer support. Given the state’s perpetual budget crisis, isn’t this an idea worth pursuing in Illinois?

State representative for the 75th District

To the Editor: Conservatives are up in arms about Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders’ proposal to raise taxes on the rich and large corporations.

Right now, the national debt is almost $20 trillion – $20 trillion, folks.

Without getting into who caused what, let’s think about that number; let’s think about the $20 trillion (and counting) in debt we might be leaving for our kids.

Look, we can keep supporting tax breaks for the richest people in the world – or we can pay down the debt and have social programs and a healthy infrastructure. We cannot do both, however.

So, what’s it gonna be?

Joliet West quarterback Alex Tibble works on passing drills during the first day of football practice Monday at Joliet West. Tibble is so elusive, so dangerous on the move, that his passing ability and his arm strength often are underrated.

The quarterback, first and foremost, is a leader. It always has been that way.

Over time, however, the demands of the position have evolved into something much more than originally intended.

With today’s complex offenses, complex passing games, even on the high school level, quarterbacks must be football smart. A strong, accurate arm helps. So does the ability to handle the

ball in the backfield. But at all times, the quarterback’s mind better be in the game.

Between attending 7-on-7 passing tournaments in the summer and watching local football practices this week, I can safely say we have quarterbacks on all four football teams in Joliet who have their coaches upbeat and will be a fun watch.

Three wins on the season have placed Brad Greenup atop the standings by 36 points over Plainfield’s Tyler Baran.

As for Earl and Tibble, both suffered injuries last season that figured into the bottom line in the their schools’ playoff bids.

Earl tore a PCL during a gut-wrenching, 24-21 Week 7 loss at Nazareth. He returned, albeit not at 100 percent, for the 27-13 second-round playoff loss to Montini. Not saying JCA would have won, but the game could have played out differently had he been healthy.

After missing the three previous games, Earl entered with the Montini game in midstream and completed 9 of 20 passes for 109 yards but threw three interceptions.

For the season, he completed 54 of 105, 51.4 percent, for 893 and seven touchdowns.

He had a solid season going before the injury. Based on what I have seen recently, he is throwing the ball better than ever, and wingbacks Michael Johnson and Harold Davis give him two potential big-play receivers.

During the USF 7-on-7 in June, Earl said he threw twice a week in the offseason with NFL standout receiver and former Aurora Christian coach Don Beebe, “My knee is all good now,” Earl said then. “My footwork is better. I get back faster so I can read the defenses. I see a lot more of what is going on than I did previously. I can see what drops the [defensive backs] are making.”

“Cade is healthy,” JCA coach Dan Sharp said. “He spent a lot of time in the offseason on strength, conditioning and throwing. He is hitting guys in the hands, and his arm strength is outstanding.”

Sharp said he will not be surprised if Earl develops into one of the best passers in the area.

that his passing ability and his arm strength often are underrated.

Last season, Tibble was All-SouthWest Suburban Blue and a Herald-News All-Area first-team pick. In 10 games, he completed 120 of 231 passes, a .519 clip, for 1,916 yards and 16 touchdowns. In addition, he rushed for 365 yards, a 4.2 average, and six touchdowns.

Lockport’s Zimmer passes away at 84

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – To say Bill Zimmer transformed Lockport’s football fortunes is an understatement.

Before Zimmer joined the staff in 1959 as an assistant, the Porters usually were near the bottom of the standings in the old South Suburban League.

But a year later, he assumed the head coaching spot, and Lockport not only became more competitive against larger schools, but also began to establish new levels of success.

When Zimmer stepped down as coach after the 1993 season, his teams had won as many games as Lockport had captured since it started playing the sport around the turn of the last century. As a result, he was inducted into the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association Hall of Fame in 1986.

In addition, Zimmer took over a wrestling program that still was in its infancy in 1960 and directed it for the next 27 years. For those efforts, he was named to the Illinois Wrestling Coaches and Officials Association Hall of Fame in 1988.

After his retirement, Zimmer got the opportunity to watch his son, Mike – who had played quarterback for him at Lockport – move up the ranks in the National Football League to eventually become the head coach of the Minnesota Vikings a year ago.

One of the most influential coaches not only at Lockport but throughout the Joliet area had struggled with health issues of late. A week after Mike Zimmer traveled to Naples, Florida, to see his ailing father, Bill Zimmer passed away Tuesday at age 84.

One person who was greatly influenced by Zimmer is Jim Hall, a hall of fame baseball coach in his own right.

Hall worked with Zimmer for 14 years as a defensive coordinator.

“It’s a tough day,” said Hall, who introduced Bill and Mike on their induction into the Lockport Athletic Hall of Fame. “I cried a little bit this

When Zimmer stepped down as coach after the 1993 season, his teams had won as many games as Lockport had captured since it started playing the sport around the turn of the last century. morning since Bill meant a lot to me and my family.

“We lost a good guy, a great coach, father and husband. He was a great influence on so many people, and he bled maroon and gold.”

Hall stayed in contact with Zimmer and his wife of 60 years, Ann. He had hoped to meet with them to see one of Mike’s games, but Bill’s health prevented that.

“Bill was a great mentor for me,” Hall said. “We did a lot of things together, and I used to play racquetball with him. He was as competitive a human being as I’ve met in life. He was as tough a guy as I’ve ever been around.

“He taught me so much about the game and about life.

One thing he taught me was that these are the guys we have, so coach them up, which is what we did.

“My thoughts and prayers go out to the Zimmer family.”

His 34 years as a head coach are still a record at Lockport, and his 35 years with one program was another standard that has been broken only recently. A total of 10 Porter coaches have been inducted

“He was a great influence on so many people, and he bled maroon and gold. ... Bill was a great mentor for me. ... He taught me so much about the game and about life. One thing he taught me was that these are the guys we have, so coach them up, which is what we did.”

Jim Hall Former Lockport defensive coordinator and hall of fame baseball coach into state hall of fames, but Zimmer is the only one to be in more than one.

To put the Bradley University graduate’s accomplishments into better perspective, in the 27 seasons prior to Zimmer’s hiring as football coach, Lockport had 10 winning seasons, and the program never had had more than four straight winning campaigns.

In the five years before he took over, the Porters had no winning seasons and had just 11 wins.

By contrast, in Zimmer’s first seven seasons, the Porters had five winning campaigns and went .500 in the other two.

The highlight of those years

was the 1966 team, which lost, 7-0, to Waukegan in its opener but won eight in a row behind All-American John Handy.

That streak included seven shutouts, which helped Lockport win the first Illini-Eight Conference championship.

Zimmer’s teams won at least five games a year from 1969 to 1982, and they won I-8 titles in 1971, 1974 and 1979, with the last squad becoming the school’s first playoff qualifier.

Lockport made the postseason only once between 1974 and 1985, but qualifying was different from how it is today. A good example was the 1980 squad, which went 8-1

but failed to earn a spot. By the current playoff process, Lockport would have qualified nine times in those 12 seasons.

After winning SICA West titles and reaching the playoffs in 1985 and 1987, the Porters struggled during Zimmer’s final seasons. He still wound up with 170 victories (including some forfeits) – the same number of wins that Lockport had from 1899 to 1959.

While much of his coaching era featured a tough, physical defense and a strong running game – led by the likes of Kip Carmen and Handy carrying the ball – Zimmer also was a pioneer of the passing game.

He was ahead of most by airing things out starting with Pete Fulton at quarterback in the early 1960s. But his “Air Zimmer” attack is probably best-remembered from 1982 to 1985, when Bob Cernak and Spiro Voulgaris enjoyed record-setting seasons.

In wrestling, Zimmer coached the Porters’ first two state champions in the sport, Glen Malone (1969) and Ken Lewis (1972), and had four others who captured second place.

Montero homer lifts Cubs over Brewers

By JOHN JACKSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Miguel Montero homered in the bottom of the 10th inning to give the Cubs a 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night for their sixth straight win and 12th in 13 games.

Montero, who allowed a couple wild pitches to get past him in the ninth as the Brewers rallied to tie the score, led off the 10th with a solo blast to left field off Michael Blazek (5-3).

Tommy Hunter (3-2) pitched a scoreless 10th to get the win.

After getting into a jam of runners on second and third and none – the result of a base hit, an error and a wild pitch – Rondon appeared on the verge of getting out of it by striking out the next two batters.

But with Jean Segura at the plate, Rondon threw another wild pitch, allowing Braun to score.

In his last appearance on Sunday, Rondon worked out of a bases-loaded jam with none out by striking out the side.

Braun opened the scoring with a long solo shot in the first inning. It was the 250th of his career, moving him just one behind Robin Yount for the most in Brewers history.

The Cubs tied the score in the second as Bryant hit a high drive just into the basket in the right-field bleachers for a solo shot. It was Bryant’s 16th on the season.

The Cubs grabbed a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning with a little help from the Milwaukee defense. With Montero on second base and two out, Russell lifted a foul popup into the bullpen area down the right-field line. Both first baseman Adam Lind and second baseman Scooter Gennett went after it. Gennett got there and got a glove on the ball, but it seemed like he was screened by Lind and dropped it.

Minooka pastor creates a variety of art pieces in his spare time

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Arol McFadden, lead pastor at Minooka Bible Church, had just sold his 4-by-4-foot Statue of Liberty painting, when state Sen. Sue Rezin stopped to admire it and asked if he would commission a 3-foot version for her.

McFadden, who said he dabbles in art only occasionally, was happy to do it. When he completed it, Rezin, R-Morris, came to Minooka Bible Church to pick it up.

“He has a unique style that I have not seen,” Rezin said.

Festival that started it all

McFadden hadn’t considered participating in Morris’ Liberty Arts Festival until he was invited to do so. McFadden said he had sold a piece at a former Morris gallery last year and thought that might have spurred the invitation.

It was the perfect opportunity to use up the pile of 100-year-old maple floorboard piled up in his garage, a gift from a friend when that friend remodeled an apartment. For McFadden, this wood was the perfect canvas.

“Each piece had been beaten up, scratched, dinged and stained, so it already had a history,” McFadden said. “I wanted to paint something on it that told a story.”

However, the stories had to reflect the wood: challenging and imperfect, but full of beauty when one looks back on it, McFadden said. Some of his depictions included the Statue of Liberty, Emma Lazarus’ entire poem “The New Colossus,” and Martin Luther King Jr. and the road to civil rights.

McFadden said he painted 10 to 12 pieces.

Their creation took McFadden about six weeks, working at odd times, such as when his children were playing outside or sleeping. To further enhance those complicated

art. The festival invitations provided the perfect opportunity for creating art, he said – as well as conversing about art with other artists and art lovers.

At the Ottawa Riverfest, Rezin said she bought a 4-by-4foot Lincoln painting to hang over her fireplace at home.

She is that impressed with McFadden’s work.

“I think he has a tremendous talent,” Rezin said, “and that he will soon be very popular and sell a tremendous amount of his paintings.”

The Christian perspective

Being an artist in no way conflicts with McFadden’s first passion and duty – leading people to Christ. If anything, if enhances it.

Life-size Pope Francis cutouts appear

By SHARON JOHNSON The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – Pope Francis isn’t scheduled to touch down in the U.S. until September, but he already has popped up at a Philadelphia Phillies game and at the Battleship New Jersey.

Cardboard cutouts of the pontiff have been appearing all over the Philadelphia region, generating buzz around his upcoming trip.

Kathy McDade posed with the faux Francis near Independence Hall so she could brag to her family about spotting the famous figure.

“I thought let me take a picture and post it on my Facebook page, and show them all that I met the pope in person,” McDade said, laughing.

Pope Francis plans to visit Philadelphia Sept.

26 to 27 for the World Meeting of Families, a Catholic conference designed to bring families closer together.

Nancy Caramanico, digital content manager for the World Meeting of Families, said bringing the cutout to various sites on “Philly Francis Fridays” has proved popular with both Catholics and non-Catholics.

“Pope Francis is described as the people’s pope. So we have him in places where many people can see him,” Caramanico said. “People are

The staff encourages people to post their pictures on social media using the hashtags #PopeinPhilly or #WMF2015.

Jennifer D’Angelo, who struck a pose with the paper pontiff at The Bourse food court near Independence Hall, will be at college in Pittsburgh when the pope visits.

“It seems like he’s trying to bring the Catholic Church together,” D’Angelo, 19, said. “I think he’s doing a great job.”

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Corrie ten Boom, who wrote a book describing her family’s success in hiding Dutch Jews during World War II, said, “When a train goes through a tunnel and it gets dark, you don’t throw away the ticket and jump off. You sit still and trust the engineer.”

Sometimes understanding the engineer of a bidding convention takes some clear thinking. We are looking at New Minor Forcing. After one of a minor - one of a major - one notrump, two of the unbid minor by the responder is artificial, promises at least game-invitational values, and asks opener for more information.

In this deal, when South bids two hearts, he indicates a four-card suit and denies three spades. Then, when responder continues with three clubs, it is natural and game-forcing. (With a weak hand and club support, North would have jumped to three clubs over one no-trump -- see yesterday’s column.) North should realize that if South has only two spades, he must have four or five clubs.

South’s three-spade bid shows a doubleton high honor. Then North uses Blackwood before signing off in seven clubs.

Note that in spades or no-trump, there are only 12 winners: five spades, two hearts, one diamond and four clubs. But in clubs, a fifth club trick is available.

South takes the first trick with dummy’s diamond ace and draws two rounds of trumps, uncovering the 4-1 break.

Then he plays three rounds of hearts, ruffing the last in the dummy, draws trumps, and claims 13 tricks, the same 12 as in spades or no-trump plus the heart ruff.

of post-hospital care that will be best for him.

If your husband doesn’t have significant medical needs, he may be able to return home directly from the hospital.

If he has access to transportation, he may be able to receive treatment at an outpatient rehab center. The services at outpatient centers usually include physical therapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy, which I will describe tomorrow.

Patients who can’t get to and from an outpatient facility may receive rehab services at home.

If your husband’s doctor thinks he needs to spend time in a rehab facility, the two of you will meet the first member of the rehab team: the case manager/discharge planner. This person coordinates the services you receive in the inpatient setting and works with the hospital and your health insurer to arrange for the appropriate continuing care after your discharge, whether it be to home-care services or a transfer to another inpatient level of care.

If the case manager and insurer think your husband needs to be transferred to a rehab institution, they will tell you the different facilities they recommend, and work with you to arrange to have your husband transferred to the chosen facility.

In tomorrow’s column, I’ll describe the different rehab institutions to which your husband may be transferred, and the members of the rehab team he may meet.

recently had a stroke.

The doctors say he will need “rehab” after he is released, at a different type of hospital. Can you tell me what rehab is?

Dear Reader: Your question requires a long answer. So I’m going to devote both today’s and tomorrow’s columns to that answer.

A stroke stops the blood supply to a part of the brain, and causes the death of brain cells in the area that no longer receives blood.

The symptoms caused by a stroke are quite varied. Not only can strokes cause different types of symptoms, but the symptoms can range from mild to severe.

A patient’s symptoms depend on what part(s) of the brain a stroke has damaged and how bad the damage is.

Unless a stroke causes very mild symptoms, a patient is hospitalized for some time in an acute-care hospital. After a patient’s condition is stabilized, a period of rehabilitation begins.

About two-thirds of people who have a stroke need some form of rehab therapy. Rehab is designed to help the patient regain some or all of the abilities damaged by the stroke. It can address a range of issues. I don’t know what symptoms your husband’s stroke caused, so I don’t know what type of rehab he needs. For example, rehab could help your husband regain strength, learn how to walk again, improve his speech, restore his memory or help him adapt to a permanent disability.

Before he leaves the hospital, your husband’s medical team will assess his basic abilities: Can he swallow safely? Can he bathe and dress himself? Can he get around on his own? Based on the assessment, the hospital will recommend the level

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Someone will be reluctant to divulge important information. Be prepared to dig deep in order to get the answers you are looking for. Don’t get talked into financing an untested venture.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You are brimming with confidence and innovative ideas. If you speak up, you will leave a favorable impression on someone interested in what you are doing. Networking will pay off.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – If you

aren’t happy with your current situation, make a change. Consider picking up the skills you will need to move to a vocation that suits your current mindset.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Focus less on what others are doing and more on your own tasks. You can get a great deal done if you refuse to let anyone interfere. Your hard work will pay off.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Look over your personal financial plan.

You will receive a tempting offer, but make sure everything is on the up-and-up before you sign on the dotted line.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Protect your assets. Revealing too much personal information to a new acquaintance will turn out to be costly.

Don’t do anything that will leave you in a vulnerable position.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Your outgoing personality and natural charm will lead to an unexpected offer. Your thirst for knowledge will

send you in a new direction that will allow you to fulfill your dreams.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You will face a frustrating challenge. Things will not go as smoothly as you had hoped unless you are prepared to slow down and take one step at a time.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Written and verbal communication will come into play as you sort through some disturbing problems. A focused effort will bring resolution to any personal or professional issues that arise.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Financial woes are evident, especially if you are handling other people’s affairs.

Make sure all the paperwork is complete and accurate before you proceed. Preparation is your key to success.

Dear Abby: I’m writing in response to “Not Talking About the Future” (March 24), whose wife has breast cancer, was told she has only a few years to live, and feels sad when her kids talk about their futures. My dad was diagnosed with stage four multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer, in 2006. He was told that even the most aggressive treatment would buy him only two or three more years.

Well, he’s now working on year nine.

While I must admit that it’s been hard at times for me to stay positive about his prognosis, I try not to let it show. Instead, every chance I get, I talk about the future with him – holiday plans, plans for my wedding next year, projects around his house, etc. It helps to take his mind off the pain and nastiness of his treatments and gets him thinking about positive things.

Forward thinking has been great medicine for Dad. “Not Talking” and his wife don’t really know how much more time she actually has, and it certainly doesn’t hurt to think positively. – Looking Ahead

In Glendale, Arizona Dear Looking: Thank you

for your upbeat message.

Read on for a sampling of what other readers had to say about that letter: Dear Abby: “Not Talking” asked if he should shield his sick wife from discussions involving the future.

One thing my mom, who died last year, did for the future was to take a video of herself visiting with her grandnephews so they would have it to look at when they are older.

She also bought – or gave us – things for our future adopted child, to give to him or her later on. She crafted notebooks for us to hand out at her memorial service, so everyone would have something to cherish from her.

“Not Talking’s” wife may want to consider doing some of these things. I send

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips her, and everyone else dealing with cancer, a prayer of peace. – Proud Daughter,

Vancouver, Washington Dear Abby: I was 13 when

my father found out he had cancer. I didn’t know what it was, and no one in my family sat me down and told me he was going to die.

He passed away at a hospital out of town, and I wasn’t there when it happened.

When I was told, I was heartbroken.

Now, as an adult, I am crushed I wasn’t able to have the conversations with him I needed – about his boyhood, grandparents, his time in the Navy, my dreams, and just spending precious time with him.

I would suggest that “Not Talking” and his wife tell their teens about her prognosis of three to four years.

They deserve to know. They should have the opportunity to discuss what’s going on in their lives and allow their mom to reflect on her own life, and her hopes and dreams for her kids. – Miss-

ing My Dad In Indiana Dear Abby: Being a

teenager is challenging, but having a dying parent can make it excruciating.

No matter how mature the teens appear, they are not ready to deal with what is coming.

The family may benefit from the Stephen Ministries program (stephenministries.org). Stephen Ministers are trained lay volunteers assigned to provide one-to-one care to people experiencing a difficult time in life. Many Christian denominations participate.

The parents can contact their local congregation to see if the program is available. – Been There In Forth
