Center for Independent Living hosts ‘Oz’-themed fundraiser

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Fans of “The Wizard of Oz” should fit right in this Saturday when the Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living holds its “Yellow Brick Road to Independence” fundraising event at Harrah’s Casino.

Pam Heavens, executive director for the WGCIL, said she’s “very excited” about the upcoming event, which is centered around the 1939 classic starring Judy Garland.

For a $50 ticket, guests can enjoy dinner, dancing, a photo booth, raffle drawings and a live auction. Members of the center’s fundraising committee will be dressed in Wizard of Oz-themed costumes, Heavens said.

The name of the event – “Yellow Brick Road to Independence” – encompasses the center’s mission, Heavens said.

“That’s really what it’s all about – independence,” she said. “It’s about giving people with disabilities the skills they need in order to be independent and live their own lives.”

The center has a fundraising goal of $35,000 this year, she said.

If you go n WHAT: Will-Grundy Center for Independent Living’s “Yellow Brick Road to Independence” fundraising event n WHEN: 6:30 to 10:30 p.m.

Saturday n WHERE: Harrah’s Casino n ADDITIONAL INFO: $50 ticket includes dinner, dancing, raffle drawings, live auction, photo booth The event will run from 6:30 to 10:30 p.m. Saturday at Harrah’s Casino. Tickets can be bought at the door, but Heavens encouraged people to buy in advance so enough food can be provided.

Auction and raffle winnings include four tickets to Disney World, a ride in a race car at the Autobahn Country Club, Rialto Theatre tickets, and an American Girl’s gift basket, among others.

Some of the event’s more recent sponsorships including Bill Jacobs Auto Group, First Midwest Bank, Spesia and Ayers Attorneys at Law, and Aetna Better Health, Heavens said.

Information about sponsorships, which range from $250

to $5,000, can be found at the center’s Sponsorship Opportunities page.

‘Spot the Bricks’ campaign Ahead of the event, the center is pushing a social media campaign – called “Spot the Bricks” – to increase exposure for the event and its several sponsors, Heavens said.

For the campaign, businesses throughout the area have placed bricks at participating locations. Snapping a photo of the bricks and posting to the center’s Facebook pages, calling in by phone or notifying the center via email, people can enter into a drawing for a year’s supply of yogurt from The Country’s Best Yogurt, also known as TCBY, in Shorewood.

Liking the center’s Facebook page also will enter you into the drawing, Heavens said.

Daily clues are posted on the center’s social media pages, but there’s no need to wait for those to come out each day. A list of the sponsors is available on the center’s website.

QUICK NEWS Frankfort stays in electric consortium FRANKFORT – The village of Frankfort has signed up with Homefield Energy as the supplier for the village’s electric aggregation program for the next three years.

The approval from the Village Board this week keeps Frankfort in the Will Electric Aggregation Group, a consortium of Will County communities that uses its bulk buying power to get lower electricity rates for residents and small businesses.

Eligible residents and small business customers will receive notices from Frankfort and Homefield Energy that state the offer and provide instructions for opting out of the program, according to a news release from the village.

Troy discrimination case yet to be resolved; school denies charges

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Troy Community Consolidated School District 30-C has started a new academic year with an alleged racial discrimination case not yet resolved from last year.

A student whose mother has filed multiple charges with state and federal agencies against the school district did not return to Troy schools.

The latest charge is from the Illinois Department of Human Rights, which is investigating allegations that the district’s administration did not protect the student, who is black, from racial harassment and disci-

pline from two white students and a white teacher.

The charge means the department is investigating the claims made by the mother, Joliet resident Catherine Miles-Gresham. The state has not made a ruling on the charge.

The district filed a response to the charge at the end of July, denying the allegations.

Miles-Gresham filed the complaint with the state May 21. She didn’t send her son back to school at Troy.

“I don’t want him back there,” Miles-Gresham said.

“This whole situation has only hurt him. He deserves to be treated like a human being.”

Miles-Gresham said her son had to be home-schooled for much of the 2013-14 school year and has developed low self-confidence. She has planned to move since June, but hasn’t found housing. She doesn’t know where she is going to send her son for school this year.

New Troy Superintendent Todd Koehl, who took over in July, denied the allegations in the charges.

“We feel that we’ve done what we need to,” Koehl said Tuesday. “The information that we have show our actions were justified.”

Will County Fair opens Wednesday in Peotone

n WHAT: Will County Fair n WHEN: Wednesday through

Sunday n WHERE: 710 S. West St., Peotone n PRICE: $4 gate admission a person; free for children under 10

Schedule of events:

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com PEOTONE – City slickers are unlikely to see – and smell – sheep or cattle up close. But they can get a sense of farm life at the Will County Fair this week.

That’s what makes the fair worth the trip, say fair organizers. The 111th annual fair opens to the public Wednesday in Peotone and will last until Sunday. Visitors who come by will see livestock shows, carnivals and demolition derbies.

There’s something for everyone at the fair, said Ron Meyer, Will County Fair Association president. Many fairgoers from the urban area may never see where most of their dairy and meat comes from.

“Their eyes are just wide open when they see [exhibitors] leading around 1,200 pound steers,” Meyer said about the livestock shows. “Some of the people who come here have probably never seen the fair or anything of its sort before.”

This year’s theme is “All American Celebration,” since anyone who lives in the U.S. can come and join the celebration, Meyer said. Besides the carnival rides and demolition derbies, the fair will have a chili cook-off, 4-H livestock auction, rodeo, commercial exhibits and sheep shearing demonstrations.

Fred Lesch, of Papineau,

Lesch was at the fairgrounds Tuesday preparing the pens for his eight Southdown sheep, bred for meat consumption instead of wool. At county fairs, they’re judged on how well they look, he said.

“It’s a combination of a bodybuilding contest and a beauty contest,” he said.

The Will County Fair promotes and supports the sheep industry, he said. State livestock numbers are decreasing because growing soybeans and corn is more profitable than raising animals, he said.

Lesch enjoys talking with people who become curious about the sheep while at the fair. He also likes that the fair is located in a more urban environment than where he comes from.

“Here, there [are] a lot of people living in the urban setting and the only time they actually get to see livestock is at a fair,” he said.

Meyer said livestock show entries are up this year, with more than 780 entries. The fair also will include roughly

2,800 commercial show entries, including flowers, pictures, baking products, photography and fine art. He said the fair receives a lot of repeat exhibitors.

Fair attendance is typically affected by students going back to school in August. But families come out to the fair at night

Wednesday 10 a.m. – Fair opens to the public 1 p.m. – Carnival opens 1 p.m. – Kids Circus in Family Tent Thursday 9 a.m. – 4-H Swine Show 9 a.m. – Open and Junior Horse Show 6:30 p.m. – I.T.P.A Tractor and Truck Pull Friday 8 a.m. – 4-H Dairy Show 9 a.m. – Open Sheep Show Judging 7:30 p.m. – Nationwide Demolition Derby Saturday 8 a.m. – 4-H Poultry Show Noon – Kids Pedal Tractor Pull 2 p.m. – Family Comedy Cycle Show Sunday Noon – Carnival opens 1:30 p.m. – Baby show for babies six to 36 months 1:30 p.m. – Fifth Annual Chili Cook-off For a complete schedule and information, visit willcountyfair.org

and on weekends, Meyer said.

Mark Schneidewind, Will County Farm Bureau manager, also was at the fairgrounds Tuesday. He was helping put together a tent with interactive children’s games. He too saw the fair as a way to expose people to a side of life they wouldn’t normally see.

“It allows us to showcase agriculture to the general public,” Schneidewind said.

THEIR EYES ARE JUST WIDE OPEN WHEN THEY SEE [EXHIBITORS] LEADING AROUND 1,200 POUND STEERS. SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO COME HERE HAVE PROBABLY NEVER SEEN THE FAIR OR ANYTHING OF ITS SORT BEFORE.” Ron Meyer, Will County Fair Association president

School takes Ice Bucket Challenge

By VIKAAS SHANKER

More online

vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge arrived Tuesday in Will County with a soaking at Central Elementary School.

Challenged by Central Principal Linda DiLeo, Plainfield School District 202 Superintendent Lane Abrell led DiLeo and more than 20 Central Elementary staff members outside the school Tuesday afternoon. They all took buckets of ice water and flung it over their heads together.

“Woo, that was fun,” Abrell said to the staff after the dump.

“It was awesome,” said fifth-grader Maggie Meagher, who also participated in the challenge.

Meagher said she wished she could do the challenge every day, especially after seeing her teachers, principal and superintendent soaked with ice water.

The ice bucket challenge has become a fundraising craze, raising money and awareness for ALS research.

The ALS Association reported Tuesday it has received $22.9 million in donations since July 29, a big increase from the $1.9 million

Fourth-grade teacher Kate Gallinatti at Central Elementary School in Plainfield reacts after dumping a bucket of ice water over her head with fellow staff members as part of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge on Tuesday afternoon. in the same time frame last year. The organization attributes the increase to the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive disease that attacks the central nervous system, according to the Center for Disease Control.

The challenge gives a nominated person the choice of donating money to ALS research, dumping ice water on their heads and filming it, or both.

The challenge has hit mainstream in the United States with famous people like NBA player LeBron

James, singer Taylor Swift and Oprah Winfrey taking the challenge to spread awareness about the disease.

Locally, Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman said he was doused Sunday in an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Joliet Mayor Tom Giarrante and Crest Hill Mayor Ray

Soliman said they have been challenged.

The challenge has a lot of meaning for the Central Elementary staff.

Tuesday’s event at the school honored Sandy Fredericks, the mother of fourth-grade teacher Nicole Stauffacher. Fredericks was diagnosed with ALS in 2010 and is continuing her fight against the disease by participating in events and raising money.

“Anytime we can help out someone who is really our family member we’ll do it,” DiLeo said.

Central Elementary staff passed on the challenge to the staffs of Lincoln Elementary, Indian Trail Middle School and Plainfield Central High School.

“I’m challenging the remainder of our district office, and I’m personally challenging Police Chief John Konopek and Deputy Fire Chief John Stratton to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge,” Abrell said.

Neighborly disagreement leads to arrest, surveillance cameras

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – A dispute among neighbors in what would seem like a tranquil residential setting has led to an order of protection, an arrest and two sides pointing surveillance cameras at each other.

The neighbors were in Will County Court on Tuesday on a motion to extend an order of protection.

The dispute had already escalated by Sunday, when Donald R. Kinzler, 52, turned himself in to Braidwood police and was charged with criminal trespassing and vandalism. Kinzler is the engineering project manager in the Channahon Public Works Department.

Kinzler, who resides in the 700 block of West Kennedy Road, had previously been served with a court order of protection accusing him of

stalking Mary Williams, who lives in the house next door.

Kinzler’s and Williams’ residences back up to a large pond that has been frequented by ducks and geese. Williams and her husband, Ken Banderman, said they’ve fed the waterfowl, but Kinzler has shot them with paintballs, thrown rocks at them and threatened to throw firecrackers.

Kinzler’s attorney Jeffrey Baldacci declined Tuesday to

comment on the dispute.

Carrie Roberts, who lives across the street, said she saw Kinzler spraying chemicals on the bushes that divide Williams’ property from his about two months ago. Williams and Banderman said the chemicals damaged the bushes.

When questioned Tuesday by attorney Jeff Tomczak, Williams testified Kinzler has a no-trespassing sign he moves when she is out in her

garden.

“He will move it directly in front of where I am and hammer it down while glaring at me,” Williams said.

Williams also has put up a no trespassing sign facing Kinzler’s property, but said she does not move it. Both Williams and Kinzler also have put up surveillance cameras toward each other.

“I’m being harassed and intimidated and I just want him to stop,” Williams said.

Joliet City Council tables hiring of paramedics

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Concerns about overtime and ambulance staffing stalled the hiring of four firefighter paramedics on Tuesday by the City Council.

The hirings would have brought the Joliet Fire Department’s workforce back to its pre-recession employment level of 209 firefighters.

But District 1 Councilman Larry Hug requested the hirings be tabled until the city’s new finance director comes on board over concerns about the department’s overtime budget and questions as to whether the new hires would guarantee full staffing of Ambulance 9.

Hug noted that the fire department already has gone through 80 percent of its overtime budget for the year – about $1.36 million. He esti-

mated at the current rate the department would go about 50 percent above its overtime budget by the end of the year.

“If we’re going to commit to more hires, than the OT budget should come down,” Hug said.

Fire Chief Joe Formhals said the overtime budget was inflated because the department was short firefighters at the beginning of the year. He estimated transfers from the regular payroll into overtime would reduce OT expenses by about $400,000 to $500,00.

Formhals said the new hires were necessary to maintain the 10 floater positions required to maintain 24-7 fire service. The floater positions cover firefighters who are out sick or on workman’s compensation – at least two or three positions a day – as well as those on vacation, Formhals said.

“I need nine to 10 floaters per day just to cover the shifts,” Formhals said. “Our only other option is to take equipment out of service.”

Lack of staffing has prevented full operation of Ambulance 9, which has operated only intermittently since about 2012, Formhals said.

At the same time, Formhals noted that the department likely would need additional overtime in 2015 to guarantee staffing of Ambulance 9.

One reason for the increase involves the labor contract, which is scheduled to increase by 2 percent next year, he said.

Hug noted other city departments appeared to more effectively operate within their means. According to city records, the public utilities department has spent about 60 percent of its overtime budget, while the police department has spent about 45 percent.

Plainfield residential developer makes new plans

property line are not sufficient.

“I have concerns about safety and access to rooftops,” Trustee Paul Fay said. He also had concerns about the lot sizes.

Mayor Michael Collins said the design of the homes seemed monotonous.

“We want something that jumps off the page,” Collins said, expressing confidence in the developer to deliver. “I would like to see something that is a little more ‘I-wantto-really-move-here-because’ type of units.”

K. Hovanian was limited in the home designs because existing infrastructure was designed for townhomes, Rosanova said.

Trustees generally agreed the lot sizes should be no less than 8,000 square feet. The plans might come up for a vote at the next board meeting.

PLAINFIELD – A developer whose Plainfield townhome project failed to garner interest wants to convert remaining lots into single-family homes.

K. Hovanian Homes representative Vincent Rosanova presented plans to the village board to convert 84 undeveloped townhome units into 49 single-family home units. The original plan called for 116 townhome units. Of those, 32 are ready-for or already-built into the property.

“We feel this modification is consistent with the village’s comprehensive plan for this area,” Rosanova said, adding that the changes will decrease the residential density from 7.3 units per acre to 4.2 units an acre.

The 17-acre property is lo-

cated south of 127th Street and west of Ridge Road. The already built townhomes surround Wild Rye Court. They are separated from the single-family homes, which would be constructed on Timber Wood Circle and Conifer Street, east of Timber Wood Way. Lot sizes would range from 6,000 to 15,000 square feet, with house floor plans spanning 2,200 to 3,000 square feet. The homes also would conform with Plainfield’s single-family residential design standards.

Trustees generally agreed with the conversion, but several were concerned with smaller side-yard setback distances and lot sizes.

“The 6,000-square-foot lots are too small,” Trustee Bill Lamb said. “To me, looking at the layouts, it’s crammed in there.”

Lamb also said side-yard setbacks of five feet to the

ELWOOD – The Village of Elwood and CenterPoint Properties disagree on whether an increased police presence has made the rail crossing safer.

Since late July, CenterPoint has contracted to have two Will County Sheriff’s deputies stationed at Route 53 and Walter Strawn Drive from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. weekdays. The squad cars also escort funeral processions traveling to the Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.

Elwood put out a statement Tuesday, the day before both sides are to appear at an Illinois Commerce Commission

hearing on the matter, saying the presence of deputies does not make the crossing safer.

Elwood Police Chief Fred Hayes in an interview said a police detail earlier this month showed the marked squad cars are not effective.

Hayes said Elwood officers issued 12 tickets over two days while the sheriff’s vehicles were there – six for “direct violations of the traffic signal.”

Hayes said the deputies’ presence does not slow traffic on Walter Strawn Drive or alert passing motorists to the crossing.

“I was out there the other day and saw a semi cut off a funeral procession by making a quick right from the left lane on Walter Strawn,” Hayes

said. “When the trucker was stopped ... he said he was in a hurry.”

The village said more than 50 railroad gates were broken at the crossing last year, but Michael Scotti, an attorney representing CenterPoint, said the police presence has made a difference.

“Union Pacific has reported at all times when sheriff’s [deputies] have been at the crossing there has not been a single gate broken,” Scotti said Tuesday.

Scotti said hiring the deputies is not intended as a permanent solution, but was a way to address the problem in the meantime. The long-term solution involves construction of a bridge.

BOLINGBROOK – Moody’s Investor Service has downgraded the Village of Bolingbrook’s bond rating to A1 from Aa3.

The financial group cites a high debt burden and decline in property values for five consecutive years as “challenges” for the village, among others.

“The A1 rating reflects the village’s weak debt profile characterized by a high debt burden and extremely slow principal amortization; narrow General Fund reserves and liquidity due to large advances to other funds, pressure from rising pension costs, relatively large tax base experiencing sustained declines, ample revenue raising flexibility, and above average resident wealth levels,” a release states.

Bolingbrook Village Attorney Jim Boan cautioned the community not to put too much stock into the rating downgrade.

“The factors that [Moody’s] used to downgrade the rating are applicable to every municipality in Illinois, and that is the reduced assessed property values and pensions,” Boan said, adding that the village hasn’t issued any new debt since 2007.

Among the “strengths” for the village listed by Moody’s are easy access to employment centers in the greater Chicago area, home rule status and a large tax base with income levels above the national average.

Boan said the downgraded rating by Moody’s brings that rating equal to the ratings from the two other primary financial rating services – Fitch and Standard and Poor’s.

“All three essentially now have us in the middle at five on the scale of 10 [with 10 being the worst rating],” Boan said.

In its outlook, Moody’s says the Village of Bolingbrook could face “very narrow General Fund liquidity and available reserves compared

to other A1 rated cities” and that “should reserves fall further, the village’s credit rating could face downward pressure.”

The report states the rating could go up if there is an improvement in the village’s General Fund liquidity and available fund balance, and if there is a reduction in the village’s debt burden.

The rating could go down if there is a continued decline in the village’s assessed property valuations and if there is a deterioration in the village’s General Fund, the report adds.

utes,” Girot said.

“We didn’t really have any fines or a way to prosecute people,” he continued.

Rulien said drug busts seizures have represented a substantial source of village revenue. Property seized during prostitution arrests will only add to the village’s seizure fund.

“We bought a boat-load of new squad cars and computers with the forfeiture money from the drug seizures,” Rulien said.

However, Girot said the update solely stemmed from the village’s desire to be in accordance with state law.

“We like to make sure all of our ordinances are up to date,” Girot said.

Stop looking for hidden fees.

While village officials do not anticipate too many violations, Girot said it’s important to be prepared.

“Now, we are ready in case we need to take action,” Girot said.

“Laser hair removal is usually done because people want to get rid of unwanted facial hair,” she said. “(But) we do plenty of laser hair removal for legs, bikini, underarms, men’s backs and chest, also.”

While laser hair removal

can cause some discomfort, “if the hair really bothers you it is totally worth it,” Malinowski said.

And topicals are used to help dull the pain on more sensitive areas such as the bikini line, lip and chin.

Laser hair removal can be done on most parts of the body, except the ears and eyebrows. And through the procedure, hundreds of hair follicles can be disabled in less than one second.

Hair growth takes place in cycles of growth and resting phases. Only hair that is actively growing can be removed at each treatment session so several treatment sessions will be necessary.

Concerned about the cost?

“We have our treatment priced relatively affordable,” Malinowski said.

BRAIDWOOD – An update to Braidwood’s prostitution ordinance could mean additional village revenue.

The village will now impose a $750 fine on anyone involved in prostitution. It also allows the village to seize property associated with the crime, including drugs, vehicles and cash.

The ordinance was passed during the village’s July board meeting.

Mayor Bill Rulien said prostitution is not an issue in the village, but Braidwood officials have made an effort to combat drug use in the area.

He said the fine is just another method of attacking the local drug problem, particularly in instances when people exchange drugs for sex.

“It’s just another tool we can use to fight drugs,” Rulien said. “This is a town

where we have really stepped up our drug enforcement.

We’re really big about breaking down doors here. Our police department has conducted about 19 or 20 raids in the last year or so.”

According to state law, exchanging sex for anything of value is punishable with probation, prison time, rehabilitation programming and expensive fines. Second and third offenses carry dramatically harsher punishments.

Braidwood Administrator Rich Girot said he discovered the village’s ordinance did not mirror state law and included no local-level fines.

As it was, the ordinance only fined the person who owned the business or residence where the act was committed. It had no provisions for the people actually engaged in the crime.

“We had an old ordinance.

It was about 40 years old.

We’re just trying to update it so it mimics the state stat-

Today’s topic is: “SCHOOL” GUARDIANSHIPS!!!

SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS PLEASE READ!!!

Often times grandparents are called upon to take care of their grandchildren for extended periods of time. If the parent lives in a different school district than the grandparent, the grandparent’s school district will often request the grandparent to become the grandchild’s guardian.

This can be an expensive proposition because guardianships require a court action and a judge’s approval. I’m here to tell you as an elder law attorney and as a former member of a local school board that IN MANY INSTANCES A “SCHOOL” GUARDIANSHIP IS NOT NEEDED AND MAY BE ILLEGAL AS A CLASS C MISDEMEANOR!!!

Here’s an example: Mom, Grace, is a single parent; she lives in New Lenox; she has a new job which requires her to be at work before 6:00 a.m. and she doesn’t get home until almost 6:00 p.m.. She has no support network and does not have the money yet to have her 10 yearold daughter and 7 year-old son in before-and-after-school daycare.

Grace’s mom and dad, Ethel and George, live in rural Jackson Township in the Elwood Grade School District. It is decided that during the school year Grace’s kids will live with their grandparents, Ethel and George.

Under the “old way” the Elwood Grade School District would have required Ethel and George to become guardians of their grandchildren. Under the provisions of Article XI of the Probate Act of 1975 even if the parent gives consent to the guardianship the Court has to make a finding that the parent is “unfit” or is “unwilling or unable to carry out day-to-day child care decisions concerning the minor”.

Well, in our example Grace is “fit” and she is able to make day-to-day decisions concerning her children’s care. However, she is trying to get back on her feet financially and her kids will be living with their grandparents, Ethel and George, for an extended period of

time. To say that she is unfit, etc. would be false and would probably be in violation of chapter 105 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/10-20.12b.

This statute says persons who give false information to get their kids as non-tuition paying students into a school district are guilty of Class C Misdemeanor.

What does Grace do?

SOLUTION: Grace, Ethel and George can obtain and fill out an AFFIDAVIT FOR ENROLLMENT OF CHILD WHOSE PARENT/ LEGAL GUARDIANS RESIDE OUT OF DISTRICT. These forms were developed by the Probate Committee of the Will County Bar Association in cooperation with the Will County Legal Assistance Program and the Will County Regional Office of Education.

The Illinois School Code requires that a child be enrolled when the child “resides” in the school district.

In this case the residence of a person who has legal custody of a pupil is deemed to be the residence of the pupil. As set forth in chapter 105 Illinois Compiled Statutes 5/10-20.12b, “legal custody” means: “custody exercised by an adult who demonstrates that he/she has assumed and exercises legal responsibility for the pupil and provides the pupil with a regular fixed night-time abode”.

If Grace’s, Ethel’s and George’s problem is similar to yours, ask your school district’s registrar to contact the Will County Regional Superintendent’s of Schools office at (815) 740-8360. Ask them to send or fax copies of this Affidavit to the school district office. You can also obtain copies at their office at 702 West Maple Street, New Lenox, Illinois.

If your local school district says that they have never heard of this “Affidavit” then clip this article and ask them to send it to the school district’s attorney.

Remember: A false Affidavit by a parent or grandparent is also a violation of the law, just as a school district may violate the law for not accepting the Affidavit.

As always: Call me, or my partner Jennifer Lynch, if you need a copy of this form or if you have a problem with your school district. adno=0272909

Q. How long do I have to tell my employer that I hurt myself at work?

Any delay in reporting a on the job injury can have serious consequences for the employee. If you have an injury, even if it appears minor at first, or is one for which you do not intend to seek medical treatment unless it worsens, you still should make some sort of reporting to the employer so that there is some writing of the injury, even if it is not the completion of a formal accident report.

The Workers’ Compensation Act itself requires the report within 45 days, which is jurisdictional. That means that if the claim is not reported within 45 days the claim will be lost, regardless of the facts. However, the longer the delay, the better the employers chances of defending the claim.

Our advice has been and remains that if injured on the job, report the accident immediately, preferably in writing, to a supervisor who has job responsibilities of receiving such reports. Then go to at least an Urgent Care Center with complaints of every body part affected, and a good history of how it happened at work. Then, equally as important, is follow up treatment, as gaps in treatment provide an additional defense to employers. adno=0272913

Q: I have a policy with coverage of $100,000.00 but it can go up to $300,000.00. Is that enough?

A: In our opinion, no.

Our office has a client who recently went to his insurance agent.

She advised that she would make sure he had enough insurance. He left the meeting thinking he had $100,000.00, but that it could go up to $300,000.00 if his injuries were serious.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing. There is coverage called $100/$300. However, that means one person can collect a maximum of only $100,000.00; but if multiple people are hurt the maximum that the entire group can collect, even if 5 or 6 people, is $300,000.00.

Our client drove a really nice car, so any intelligent adjuster should have realized that he was a person of means. Unfortunately, while driving that very nice car, an uninsured driver ran a stop sign right in front of him, causing a crash. Our client had to be cut out of the car.

He was hospitalized for several days. A couple of months later he had back surgery with rods. The $100,000.00 was not even enough to cover the surgery and hospital cost, much less the other medical expenses.

These days, even one million dollars in coverage may not be sufficient to cover medical treatment. We recognize that there are people who can only afford less coverage, and if that’s the case we wish you all the best and hope you never get in a serious collision. However, for those who can afford it a $1,000,000.00 umbrella coverage is not that much more of an expense than the $100/$300 policy. It is important to protect yourself. In this case, the person who ran the stop sign had no coverage whatsoever, so our clients’ uninsured motorist coverage kicked in to assume the role of the other drivers’ insurance. Because the liability coverage was $100/$300, so was the uninsured motorist coverage. Without that umbrella coverage, he will never collect the full value for his injuries.

Remember, insurance is to cover risks you cannot afford. While times are tight, if you have the couple of hundred dollars extra to pay for coverages like $500,000.00 or a million dollars or even excess coverages of several million dollars, you will be glad you did in the event of a serious collision.

The same, of course, will hold true on the liability coverage aspect if you should happen to cause a serious accident and the occupant of the other vehicle requires a major surgery. It is always easier to sleep at night knowing the entire situation is well covered. adno=0272914

ASK AN ATTORNEY

Why? The minute an employee leaves the premises of his employer following an accident, anything could happen to him which could likely produce the same condition, if it wasn’t serious enough to automatically report in the first place. If reported the same day, whether or not there are witnesses, it removes, at least to the degree possible, the defense that “it could have happened at home.” There was recently a case where a person legitimately injured their elbow at work, but didn’t report it for 6 days. The name is Oliver v. Rausch Construction Co. It appeared clear from the other evidence that the accident did happen at work, even though the report was 6 days late.

Notwithstanding, the employer was free to deny the claim without repercussions such as penalties, because of the late report.

GOP nominates Kinsella for County Board Woman hit

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Longtime Minooka resident Debra Jo Kinsella has been nominated by the Republican Central Committee to run for Grundy County Board in a special election scheduled for November.

“The Republican Party has been very supportive, so I was happy to have my name put forward,” Kinsella said.

The Nov. 4 special election is for the county board seat Teryl Lundeen held. Lundeen was two years into her fouryear term when she resigned in June amid questions about her residency.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland has said Lundeen’s residency in Will County while serving Debra Jo on the board Kinsella was legal based on a Illinois Supreme Court decision.

David Nelson of Minooka was appointed at August’s county board meeting to fill Lundeen’s position, a seat he will hold until the special election determines who will serve Lundeen’s remaining two years, Republican Central Committee Chairman Mike

“I’d like to have a chance to sit in that seat and give some of that back to the county.”

Debra Jo Kinsella of Minooka

Mattingly said.

Nelson is running for a four-year term on the board.

Kinsella is the first candidate put forth for the special election for Lundeen’s seat.

“Grundy County has been very good to me for a lot of

years,” Kinsella said. “I’d like to have a chance to sit in that seat and give some of that back to the county.”

Kinsella was the director of the Grundy County University of Illinois Extension for more than 17 years and has raised her family in Grundy County.

She has a bachelor’s degree in business marketing and a master’s degree in business administration. She works as a certified instructor for Joliet Junior College and is active in many community organizations.

Mattingly said the winner of the special election will likely begin in December.

by car after jumping from it MORRIS DAILY HERALD COAL CITY – A woman was hospitalized in critical condition Sunday after she apparently jumped from a moving car and was struck by it.

Tami Storms, the passenger, “jumped out of the moving vehicle [and] was struck by the vehicle after she jumped out the passenger door,” according to the statement.

Tami Storms was airlifted to Good Samaritan Hospital, where she was listed in critical condition Monday.

Safety training, concrete testing approved Also Monday, trustees approved a one-year agreement with the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 150 that will allow Public Works staff to continue training at the Wilmington facility.

For $5,760, a rate of $480 per employee, staff may train for occupational safety and health administration requirements and on how to use equipment such as backhoes.

Trustees also approved a $13,695 material testing proposal from Midwest Testing Services. The company will provide quality assurance testing on concrete, base course and asphalt done as part of Channahon’s road maintenance program. The work will take place at the business’s plant and on site.

Koehl said the school district is waiting to hear from both the state and federal agencies.

The state charge comes months after Miles-Gresham filed an initial complaint with the U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights.

The Office of Civil Rights is investigating the district on Miles-Gresham’s earlier allegations of racial harassment, but hasn’t reached a judgment.

The most recent charge with the state alleges that students at William B. Orenic Intermediate School said racially motivated words to the student. The charge also

In March, the teacher said that her son looked like he “was from the ‘hood,’ ” according to the charge.

And May 20, the charge states, a white student accused the boy of making inappropriate comments, leading to him receiving a four-day suspension. The same day, the charge alleges that a white female teacher reportedly told Miles-Gresham’s son that he had a history of saying inappropriate things and when he is older he “could become a dirty comedian.”

Miles-Gresham said she had been contacted former superintendent Don White and former Director of Operations Ken Surma regarding the incidents last school year.

White and Surma have since left the district.

CHANNAHON – Trustees have approved the appointment of a new Channahon police officer.

Justin Bennett serves as a community service officer with the New Lenox Police Department, and trustees approved his hiring during a brief meeting Monday evening.

“I think he will be a very good fit for our department,” Channahon Police Chief Jeff Wold said.

“I know he’ll do a wonderful job here,” Village President Joe Cook added. “It’s a big family here, and these guys do a good job at making it feel like a family.”

At the meeting, Cook also asked area drivers to take care around bus stops, now that school has begun. Children may not be watching carefully for cars.

“Keep it slow and take it easy,” he said, “and be cautious and aware.”

alleges that a teacher favored other students’ accounts when investigating incidents involving Miles-Gresham’s son.

The allegations span from December through March.

The charge states that on several occasions, Miles-Gresham’s son was called “blackie” and called a derogatory racial slur that starts with an “n.” Also, her son was “lied on and was told that no one likes me.”

The charge alleges that in December her son’s white teacher believed two white female students who accused him of saying inappropriate things without hearing his side. And when the boy reported inappropriate comments said to him, he was told to “ignore it or move away.”

ROUNDUP News from across the state

Rauner urges quick decision on term limits measure

SPRINGFIELD – Advocates for term limits in Illinois say the state Supreme Court likely will decide whether the issue can appear on the November ballot, no matter how an appeals court rules.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner is urging the high court to take up the issue “immediately” once the lower court issues a ruling.

The decision must be made within days because the ballot must be certified by Friday.

Rauner predicts the measure will pass overwhelmingly if it’s on the ballot.

A term limits committee gathered about 600,000 signatures to limit legislators to eight years in office and increase the number of votes needed to override a veto.

But attorneys with ties to top Democrats sued to keep the measure off the ballot.

A circuit court called the effort unconstitutional.

Law aims to prevent student athlete concussions

CHICAGO – Illinois’ high school coaches and athletic directors will be required to take an online concussion training course under

a plan Gov. Pat Quinn signed into law Tuesday.

The law, which took effect immediately, requires the Illinois High School Association to develop a program that schools’ athletic staff members have to complete every two years. IHSA Executive Director Marty Hickman said the program, which is available to coaches and athletic directors now, would take at least a few hours to complete. Student athletes also will get concussion awareness education.

The legislation was prompted by concerns about a rise in head injuries, state officials said.

“We need to make sure we adopt proper safeguards,” Quinn said after signing the legislation at a school on Chicago’s South Side.

Illinois sees year’s 1st human case of West Nile

SPRINGFIELD – Health officials in Illinois are reporting the state’s first human case of West Nile virus this year.

A woman in her 70s got sick last month. Her case was reported to the state by the Chicago Department of Public Health, which made the announcement Monday.

Health officials say it’s a good reminder to use insect repellent when outdoors, even if it doesn’t look like many mosquitoes are out. The mosquitoes that usually carry West Nile virus aren’t very noticeable and are stealthy biters.

Another way to reduce risk is to

eliminate standing water in bird baths, old tires and other places where mosquitoes could breed.

Last year, Illinois saw 117 human cases of West Nile virus, including 11 deaths.

Emanuel’s critics scurry to find 2015 challenger

CHICAGO – Rahm Emanuel swept into the Chicago mayor’s office with support from across the city, a nod from favorite son Barack Obama and a promise – some might say a threat – to tackle Chicago’s many problems with the same ferocity that made him at times feared in national politics.

Almost four years into his term, the former White House chief of staff has been true to his word.

And along the way, he’s ticked off enough people to expect, by most accounts, a serious challenge when he seeks a second term early next year.

But at a time when that challenger would be emerging, it’s still not clear whether there will be one. Many are wondering whether the nation’s most-recognizable mayor is destined to be a one-termer, or just the latest on the path of Chicago mayoral reigns lasting decades, like the two Daleys who preceded him.

“People want to find some reason to vote against Rahm,” said Mark Wallace, a talk radio host from the city’s working-class South Side who supported Emanuel in 2011 but is now among those he says are “frantically”

searching for a replacement.

The leading contender appears to be Emanuel’s most outspoken antagonist, Karen Lewis, the Chicago Teachers Union president who went toe-to-toe with him during a 2012 teachers strike.

The blunt-talking Lewis doesn’t miss a chance to take shots at Emanuel, saying he acts “like a tourist” in a city he doesn’t understand. She’s expected to begin circulating petitions for the February election in late August, but isn’t saying when she’ll decide whether to run.

It’s not just Emanuel’s decision to close 50 schools in predominantly minority neighborhoods and slash city workers’ pensions, or the gun violence plaguing some areas. It’s the way Emanuel has done things that has some people wanting him gone.

Labor unions complained they were blindsided when the mayor – who admits he’s impatient – went to the state Capitol shortly after taking office to push major changes to city pensions without first discussing it with them.

“There is a lot of antagonism toward Rahm. I don’t think there’s any question about that,” said Don Rose, a longtime Chicago political analyst.

Corps: Infrastructure improvements needed

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Higher-capacity ports, expanded locks and dams and other infrastructure improvements are needed in the Mississippi River Watershed to

allow its waterways to handle shipping demands caused by higher agriculture, oil and natural gas production and manage climate change effects, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers official said Tuesday.

Brig. Gen. Peter A. DeLuca, commander of the corps’ Mississippi Valley Division, spoke Tuesday at a public meeting held on a corps vessel on the Mississippi River in Memphis. He called on federal, state and local governments – plus citizens groups, businesses and private entrepreneurs – to invest in updating existing infrastructure, and starting new projects.

In June, President Barack Obama signed a $12.3 billion water projects bill that finances 34 new projects over the next 10 years. Its price tag is half the amount of the last water projects bill seven years ago. Some conservative groups argued the bill contained unnecessary spending, but it had broad support from state and local officials and business groups such as the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. All of the projects were recommended by the corps.

Still, DeLuca said more investment is needed. He said the United States ranks about 143rd in the world in infrastructure investment, a statistic also cited by other sources.

The American Society of Civil Engineers’ 2013 Report Card for America’s Infrastructure gave inland waterways a D-minus.

NATION BRIEFS Teens arrested in plot after Web activities eyed SOUTH PASADENA, Calif. – Investigators acting on a tip unraveled a plot to carry out a mass shooting at a suburban Los Angeles high school, arresting a pair of students who planned to target three school staffers and kill as many people as possible, police said Tuesday.

School officials learned of the plot on Thursday and notified detectives, who began watching the 16- and 17-year-old boys and monitoring their online activity, South Pasadena Police Chief Arthur Miller said.

The pair didn’t have a date for an attack or weapons, but their online messaging included the names of three staffers to target and threats to randomly kill students, Miller said.

They were also researching automatic firearms, handguns, knives, explosives and tactical techniques, he said.

“Three or four days’ worth of surveillance on the Internet indicated that they had a very real threat,” he said. “They had a plan in mind that they were going to execute.”

U.S. home construction jumps 15.7 percent in July WASHINGTON – U.S. home construction rebounded in July, rising to an eight-month high and offering hope that housing has regained momentum after two months of declines.

Construction increased 15.7

percent in July to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.09 million homes, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.

That was the fastest pace since November and followed declines of 4 percent in June and 7.4 percent in May. Applications for building permits, considered a good sign of future activity, also showed strength in July, advancing 8.1 percent to an annual rate of 1.05 million, after declines of 3.1 percent in June and 5.1 percent in May.

Stretch of Ohio River reopens after fuel oil spill CINCINNATI – A 15-mile stretch of the Ohio River closed after a fuel oil spill reopened to river traffic Tuesday with some restrictions as containment and cleanup continued.

River traffic in that area must get Coast Guard clearance and maintain a safe speed, agency spokeswoman Lt. Katherine Cameron said. The area was closed to all traffic, including barges carrying commercial goods, after the spill from a Duke Energy power plant in New Richmond.

The spill at the W.C. Beckjord Station happened at about 11:15 p.m. Monday during a routine transfer of fuel oil from a larger tank to smaller ones and was stopped within about 15 minutes, Duke spokeswoman Sally Thelen said.

Ferguson pledges outreach efforts after fatal shooting

By NIGEL DUARA The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – Ferguson city leaders urged people to stay home after dark Tuesday to “allow peace to settle in” and pledged to try to improve the police force in the St. Louis suburb where the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown has sparked nightly clashes between protesters and police.

In a public statement, the city said the mayor, the City Council and employees have been exploring ways to increase the number of African-American applicants to the law enforcement academy, develop incentive programs to encourage city residency for police officers and raise money for cameras that would be attached to patrol car dashboards and officers’ vests.

“We plan to learn from this tragedy, as we further provide for the safety of our residents and businesses and progress our community through reconciliation and healing,” the statement said.

After sundown Tuesday, the streets of Ferguson filled once more with protesters who marched along the street in a large square-shaped pattern. There were no immediate reports of clashes with police, who stood by with batons and gas masks.

Benjamin Crump, an attorney for Brown’s family, said the 18-year-old’s funeral and memorial service would be Monday. The time and location had not been finalized.

Earlier Tuesday, a large crowd gathered in nearby St. Louis after officers responding to a report of a store robbery shot and killed a knife-wielding man. Police Chief Sam Dotson said the suspect acted erratically and told responding officers to “kill me now.”

Some members of the crowd shouted “Hands up, don’t shoot,” a phrase that has been a refrain of protests since Brown’s death Aug. 9. Like Brown, the 23-year-old suspect killed Tuesday was black.

A grand jury could begin hearing evidence Wednesday

to determine whether the officer, Darren Wilson, should be charged in Brown’s death, said Ed Magee, spokesman for St. Louis County’s prosecuting attorney.

Wilson was recognized during a Ferguson City Council meeting in February, getting special recognition for what Police Chief Thomas Jackson said then was his role in responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle, then struggling with the driver and detaining him until help arrived. Jackson said the suspect was preparing a large quantity of marijuana for sale.

Attorney General Eric Holder was scheduled to travel to Ferguson on Wednesday to meet with FBI and other officials carrying out an independent federal investigation into Brown’s death.

The Justice Department has mounted an unusually swift and aggressive response to Brown’s death, from the independent autopsy to dozens of FBI agents combing Ferguson for witnesses to the shooting.

Holder brings his civil rights push to Ferguson

By CONNIE CASS and JESSE J. HOLLAND The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Eric Holder talks about the nation’s civil rights struggles in a way no previous U.S. attorney general could – by telling his own family story.

As he increasingly pushes his Justice Department to protect voting rights and end unfair prison sentences and police brutality, Holder has drawn on personal history to make the case that the nation has much work to do to achieve justice for all. It’s a legacy he’ll likely draw on when he travels Wednesday to Ferguson, Missouri, to supervise the federal investigation of the fatal shooting of a black 18-year-old by a white police officer.

Holder tells how his father, an immigrant from Barbados proudly wearing his World War II uniform, was ejected from a whites-only train car. How his future sister-in-law, escorted

by U.S. marshals, integrated

the University of Alabama in spite of a governor who stood in the schoolhouse door to block her. How as a college student, he was twice pulled over, his car searched, even though he wasn’t speeding.

And Holder recalls that the slaying of black teen Trayvon Martin in 2012 prompted him to sit down with his own 15-yearold son for a talk about the way a young black male must act and speak if confronted by police – the same talk his father had given him decades earlier.

“I had to do this to protect my boy,” the nation’s first black attorney general said at an NAACP convention last year.

President Barack Obama is sending Holder to Ferguson to bring the full weight of the federal government into the investigation of the death of another young black man, Michael Brown, who was unarmed when a white police officer shot him multiple times Aug. 9. Daily and nightly protests, sometimes marred by rioting and

looting and met with tear gas and rubber-coated bullets from police, have rocked the suburban St. Louis community since.

Holder has led an unusually fast and aggressive Justice Department response to the local case, sending teams of prosecutors and dozens of FBI agents to investigate and arranging a federal autopsy on top of one by local authorities.

Still, protesters in the streets say they aren’t convinced justice will be done.

Holder’s record on civil rights and personal commitment may help reassure the community when he visits.

“It’s a powerful message,” said William Yeomans, a law school fellow at American University who worked in the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division for more than two decades. “He’s the embodiment of law enforcement, and the positive contribution he can make here is to assure the community that the federal government is taking very seriously the quest for justice in this incident.”

NYC took quick precautions after man’s death in custody

By TOM HAYS The Associated Press NEW YORK – The police killings of two unarmed black men came barely three weeks apart, generating immediate – and potentially volatile – outrage.

But compared to the violent aftermath of Michael Brown’s shooting in Ferguson, Missouri, the fallout from the chokehold death of Eric Garner in New York now seems notable for what’s been absent: no guns pointed at raging protesters, no billows of tear gas, no lengthy delay in revealing an officer’s name, no National Guard troops.

The relative calm in New York followed a carefully cal-

ibrated response by city and police officials intended to neutralize possible unrest. The response drew on the lessons from other high-profile use-offorce cases involving black victims that roiled the city in the late 1990s.

“What you want in a democracy is the ability to express your concerns, but you don’t want it to spill over into disorder,” Police Commissioner William Bratton said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

Initial outrage over Garner’s death July 17 was fueled by an amateur video showing an arresting officer appearing to put him in a chokehold – banned under police policy – and Garner gasping, “I can’t

breathe” before falling unconscious. The next day Mayor Bill de Blasio postponed a family vacation, spoke with African-American community leaders and called a news conference with Bratton.

De Blasio called the death a “terrible tragedy” and the video “very troubling.” Bratton conceded that “this would appear to have been a chokehold.” Both promised a thorough investigation.

Officials say local police commanders reached out to community activists and offered condolences to Garner’s family. On July 19, two days after the death, the NYPD released the name of the officer and announced he had been placed on desk duty.

Parents keep babies’ photos off Facebook

By BARBARA ORTUTAY The Associated Press NEW YORK – Behold the cascade of baby photos, the flood of funny kid anecdotes and the steady stream of school milestones on Facebook.

It all makes Sonia Rao, a stay-at-home mother of a 1-year-old in Mountain View, California, “a little uncomfortable.”

“I just have a vague discomfort having her photograph out there for anyone to look at,” said Rao. “When you meet a new person and go to their account, you can look them up, look at photos, videos, know that they are traveling.”

At a time when just about everyone and their mother – father, grandmother and aunt – is intent on publicizing the newest generation’s early years on social media sites, an increasing number of parents such as Rao are bucking the trend by consciously keeping their children’s photos, names and entire identities off the Internet.

Reasons for the baby blackout vary. Some parents have privacy and safety concerns. Others worry about what companies might do with their child’s image and personal data. Some simply do it out of respect for their kids’ autonomy before they are old enough to make decisions for themselves.

“I have a no-tolerance policy,” said Scott Steinberg, a St. Louis-based business and technology consultant who has more than 4,800 Facebook friends. Steinberg says he shares no photos, videos or any information about his child.

“If I don’t want somebody to know about my child, to take an active interest in them, to recognize them in a city street or as they are leaving the schoolyard. The easiest way to do that is to not have any identifying information out about them.”

As for Rao, she said she is otherwise active on Facebook, and even had an Ins-

tagram account for her dog before the baby was born.

She’s happy posting photos of the canine, but not the many snapshots of her daughter and the dog together – no matter how cute they are. Rao does share baby pictures, via email or text, but only with close friends and family.

Facebook, for its part, encourages parents to use the site’s privacy setting if they want to limit who can see their baby photos and other posts. It’s possible, for example, to create a group of close friends and relatives to share kid updates with. But that’s not enough for some users.

New parents Josh Furman and his wife, Alisha Klapholz, are “very protective” of their newborn. The Silver Spring, Maryland couple believes it’s in their daughter’s best interest to limit her Internet presence for as long as possible. As such, they haven’t posted her legal name on Facebook and don’t post photos of her on the site. Instead, they share her Hebrew name and also came up with a nickname to use just on Facebook. They ask friends and family to do the same.

“In 2014 we sort of feel like the repercussions of sharing private data are totally unpredictable,” said Furman, a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Maryland.

Like his wife, Furman is very active on Facebook.

Even so, he said “our child isn’t capable of making decisions about what details of her life she’d like to share or not.” So they are waiting until she can.

A big reason parents are wary, even if they use social media sites themselves, is that the companies “have not been very transparent about the way they collect data about users,” said Caroline Knorr, parenting editor at the nonprofit Common Sense Media, which studies children’s use of technology.

“Facebook’s terms of service and privacy [policies] – no one reads it, it’s too obscure.”

By IBRAHIM BARZAK The Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Egyptian attempts to broker an end to a monthlong war between Israel and Hamas militants collapsed in heavy fighting Tuesday, with Palestinian militants firing dozens of rockets and Israel responding with airstrikes across the Gaza Strip. At least two Palestinians were killed.

The burst of violence erupted in the hours before a temporary truce was set to expire.

It left the Egyptian mediation efforts in tatters and raised the

likelihood of a new round of violence.

Israel withdrew its delegation from the Cairo cease-fire talks following a sudden burst of rocket fire Tuesday afternoon and quickly resumed its campaign of airstrikes.

Palestinian officials reported Israeli airstrikes throughout Gaza that gained intensity throughout the evening.

Palestinian medical official Ashraf al-Kidra said two people – a 40-year-old woman and a 2-year-old girl – were killed in an airstrike in Gaza City. Twenty-one people were wounded in a separate airstrike that hit a

building with offices of Hamas’ Al Aqsa TV station, he said.

The fatalities were the first since a temporary truce was reached last Wednesday.

Israeli officials said at least 20 rockets fired late Tuesday, including one that set off air raid sirens in the Tel Aviv. There were no reports of injuries.

Israel’s civil defense authority ordered authorities to reopen public bomb shelters within 50 miles of Gaza.

By PETER LEONARD The Associated Press DONETSK, Ukraine – Government troops pressed attacks Tuesday in the two largest cities held by pro-Russian rebels in eastern Ukraine, while Kiev also pursued diplomatic efforts to resolve the conflict that has killed more than 2,000 and displaced an-

other 300,000.

Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko prepared to host German Chancellor Angela Merkel this weekend before heading to a meeting next week with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The next two weeks “will be crucial for finding the way to move from war to peace,” said Valery Chaly, the deputy head

of Poroshenko’s administration.

He said in a televised briefing that Kiev sees “clear diplomatic roadmap” ahead and expressed hope that a new approach could be found to end the war.

Poroshenko’s efforts to quell the insurgency have been focused on encircling Donetsk, the largest rebel-controlled

city and a regional capital.

Fighting began in mid-April after Russia annexed Crimea, a peninsula on the Black Sea, while Kiev’s forces have recaptured significant amounts of territory from the separatists.

Moscow has denied allegations by Kiev and the West that it has fomented the rebellion in the Russian-speaking parts of eastern Ukraine. It says the

Ukrainian government has discriminated against residents of the region who seek closer ties to Russia.

In fighting Tuesday, one soldier was killed and four were wounded when a pro-Kiev battalion of volunteers came under mortar fire before entering the town of Ilovaysk, 11 miles east of Donetsk, Ukrainian officials said.

there from all over the country, the Information Ministry said Tuesday.

During the raid, dozens of people waiting to be screened for Ebola fled the center.

Looters made off with items, including bloody sheets and mattresses that could spread the infection.

All the patients who fled are now being screened at a hospital in Monrovia, and those who tested positive are being treated, the ministry said. It was unclear how many of the 37 who fled were confirmed with Ebola. In addition, residents of the slum have agreed to return any stolen items, officials said.

Liberian authorities are searching for a pastor who ran away from a different Ebola treatment center outside Monrovia. State radio asked the public to look out for him but did not say if he had tested positive for Ebola.

The WHO said it is seeing some encouraging signs in other parts of West Africa. In Guinea, people from villages that previously rejected outside help were beginning to seek medical care, according to a WHO statement.

MONROVIA, Liberia – Three Liberian health workers receiving an experimental drug for Ebola are showing signs of recovery, officials said Tuesday, although medical experts caution it is not certain if the drug is effective.

The World Health Organization said the death toll for West Africa’s Ebola outbreak has climbed past 1,200 but there are tentative signs that progress is being made in containing the disease.

The three Liberians are being treated with the last known doses of ZMapp, a drug that had earlier been given to two infected Americans and a Spaniard. The Americans also are improving, but the Spaniard died.

“The medical professionals have informed the Liberian information ministry their progress is ‘remarkable,’” the ministry said in a statement, adding that the patients are showing “very positive signs of recovery.”

Experts have said it is unclear if ZMapp, which had

never before been tested in humans, is effective. Even if it is, the California-based maker has said more supplies won’t be available for months.

In the meantime, experts say the best way to stop the spread of Ebola in West Africa is to identify the sick, isolate them from the healthy and monitor everyone with whom they have been in contact.

In addition to the more than 1,200 people have died of Ebola in Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria, more than 2,200 have been sickened, the WHO said.

Authorities have struggled to treat and isolate the sick, in part because of widespread fear that treatment centers are places where people go to die.

Many sick people have hidden in their homes, relatives have sometimes taken their loved ones away from health centers, and mobs sometimes have attacked health workers.

On Saturday, residents of the West Point slum in Liberia’s capital of Monrovia attacked a center where people were being monitored for Ebola. The raid was triggered by fears that people with the disease were being brought

ANOTHER VIEW

Continue work to modernize Indiana courts Indiana’s new chief justice, Loretta Rush, has a lot on her plate. She not only has to preside over the Indiana Supreme Court but also modernize the state’s other courts as well.

Indiana is well on its way toward bringing courts into the 21st century, with its expansion of what promises to be a statewide computerized case management system.

That system lets lawyers file legal documents in electronic form, without having to leave their office. It also opens those documents to easier public access as a result.

That helps attorneys with small research staffs – or none at all – get information they need to better represent their clients.

It also gives the public a better understanding of how the legal process works.

That’s the same rationale for our belief that Rush and her colleagues in the judicial system must now grapple with the issue of cameras in the courtroom, an area where Indiana has lagged.

Indiana has considered this issue from time to time, but it remains trapped in the past.

The Indiana Supreme Court and Indiana Court of Appeals allow cameras to record and broadcast their proceedings, but not trials in local courts. And the chief justice allowed The Times Media Co. to partner with the Lake Superior Court to webcast routine proceedings in a single courtroom.

There’s also the example of when former Lake Juvenile Court Judge Mary Beth Bonaventura allowed MTV to film “Juvies,” a reality show aimed at scaring teens into behaving better.

But the process of gaining judicial approval – or, more likely, rejection – to film proceedings in lower courts is too long and cumbersome a process.

We understand and share concerns about not disrupting judicial proceedings. The courts’ primary mission should be to dispense justice.

But technology has changed significantly in recent years, and cameras are less obtrusive now. They are also pervasive throughout society – except in Indiana’s lower courts.

Allowing use of cameras in lower courts would greatly enhance the public’s understanding of how courts operate. Operating in the public’s eye also builds faith in the judicial process, showing judges have no hidden agenda, just the pursuit of justice.

Rush’s agenda for her term as chief justice should include re-examining the court’s long-standing reluctance to allow cameras in Indiana courtrooms.

Bring all of Indiana’s courts fully into the 21st century.

Choice in a child’s education ought to be up to the parent I was chatting the other day with a fellow who, along with his wife, home-school his children.

We joked about the stereotype – moms in denim skirts.

But then, he expounded on the benefits his youngsters have derived from being taught at home: a customized curriculum, religious values instilled, and extra time with parents.

And then the fellow added, “One of the great things about home-schooling is that I haven’t been hassled by anyone in government over how we choose to educate our kids.”

Of course, home-schooling

I don’t really care if that education is provided by a public school, a private school or in the home.

JCA out to erase memory of 2013 finish

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, August 20, 2014

By KAITLYN JASNICA kjasnica@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Memories from the last time Mary Murphy, Madeline Grimm, Mallory Krzysciak and Maddie Naal walked off a volleyball court motivate the Joliet Catholic seniors this season.

“Last game was not a very good one to remember,” Murphy said. “I feel a lot of regret.

I know we could have given so much more than we gave in that game. It fired us up for this season, and we are not going to let it happen again.”

Joliet Catholic or St. Francis has eliminated the other from the state tournament during the sectional the past seven years. Naal said the 2013 semifinal loss upset the team more because the Angels had played well against St. Francis earlier that season.

The tournament does not start until October, but JCA always has St. Francis in the back of its mind.

The Angels want to raise a state championship banner next to the 2003, 2008 and 2009 banners in their gym. Right now, they plan to focus on each match leading up to the tournament.

“I think that we have the mentality of going out and playing every game with commitment, with conviction, with a passion and being competitive with everybody we step on the floor with,” said coach Christine Scheibe. “The earlier in the season that we can get that competitiveness going, by the time playoffs come around, I think we could be a scary team to contend

When asked her goals for the season, Grimm did not limit them to redeeming a bad loss or being the top team in the conference. She does not want to lose a match.

“This year, leadership plays a big role because we are all seniors,” Naal said.

“That makes us want it so much more because we don’t have a next year. We have to get it done this year if we want that state title.”

Two players Murphy will set the ball to are outside hitter Grimm and middle hitter Naal. At 5-9 and 5-11, the two are small in comparison to some offensive players in the area. However, their versatility and attitude make them keys to the team and threats to opponents.

In the back row, libero Krzysciak will pass and dig a majority of the balls, which does not bother her. “I always want to get the ball. It’s my job,” she said.

Eleven varsity players make up the rest of the team.

“This was probably one of the most competitive summer camps we’ve had,” Grimm said. “I think that really amped us up, knowing that we had to work extra hard to even get on the team.”

Whether the competitiveness within the team transfers to the court will be determined early in the season.

Next Wednesday, JCA faces Mother McAuley. Scheibe believes competing against a nationally ranked team early in the season will help the Angels.

“It lets us know right at the beginning where we stand,” she said. “It will expose some of our weaknesses that we need to work on.”

Whether it is during the regular season or postseason, JCA wants to win.

“We’re ready this year,” Krzysciak said.

“We have full confidence in this season. We feel like we could push it all the way to state.”

Seven starting seniors graduated, leaving the Celtics with only three key returning players.

After losing to Joliet Catholic in the regional final, the young Celtics may be motivated all season to get their revenge in the conference.

Ellingson: “We are very young, yet feisty. Plenty of club experience but we’re made up mostly of juniors.”

NEW LENOX – The girls golf teams from Providence Catholic, Minooka and Lincoln-Way Central all have high hopes as they kick off the 2014 season.

That’s why it wasn’t too surprising that the three squads were on pretty competitive terms with each other when they met up for Central’s triangular at The Sanctuary Golf Course.

The Celtics, who opened their season the day before at the Marian Catholic Invite, took top honors with a 183, while the Indians edged the Knights 189-190 in both squads’ debut.

Providence’s Alyssa Gromala, a returning state qualifier, took medalist honors with a round of 41, while Celtic teammate Annie Corso and Knight Anna Suppes both fired a 44.

The Celtics, who have qualified for sectionals the past two years, also received a 46 from Anna Goggins and Angela Duensing turned in a 52.

“We have a strong returning team,” Celtics coach Molly Schulte said. “Alyssa has put in a lot of work this summer; and the same goes for Anna, who’s been playing well lately, and Annie had a great round today. We’re looking forward to what the season will bring.

I have a hard-working group of girls, and that’s what is most exciting to me.”

Minooka, which will be seeking its fifth straight sectional appearance, was paced

by Miranda Sharp and Alli Lee, who both had rounds of 46. Also for the Indians, Andra Sharp, Miranda’s sister, fired a 47, while Emily Knaub posted a 50.

“Following the success that we’ve had the last few years, we want to take the to take that next step,” Indians coach Joe Host said. “We haven’t had a person get out of sectionals in my nine years, so that’s the next thing that we’re looking for. Obviously, we’d love to get the entire group to state. We have a nice balance between age groups plus some talent.”

Central also received scores

Fonck has reason to keep on running

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, August 20, 2014

32

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – A few weeks ago, at the final Indian Pride track meet of the summer, Todd Fonck, a former cross country and track and field standout for Minooka High School, said he had gone running for the last 1,704 days.

Since that meet, about 25 days have passed, making it close to 1,730 days in a row.

While Fonck doesn’t run all day, every day or criss-cross the country, it is still a longer time frame than the three years, two months, 14 days and 16 hours that movie character Forrest Gump ran.

Given that Fonck said he considers a day of running at least 20 minutes – and that he covers between three and four miles a day – a rough estimate is that Fonck has run for just north of 6,000 miles. That’s about the distance from Minooka to Cairo.

Fonck also said he gets between 300 and 500 miles out of a pair of shoes. That’s about 15 to 20 pairs of shoes he’s gone through. But unlike Tom Hanks’ Gump, Fonck didn’t start running for no particular reason at all.

“I ran competitively in both high school and college [at North Central],” Fonck said.

“When I graduated from college in 2006, I kind of gave up running for a while, but I kept eating the same way. I ended up putting on about 50 or 60 pounds. I got married, settled down – you know, everyday life. Then my wife [Mandy] got pregnant, and it kind of woke me up that I wanted to be around for this kid as long as I could. And, I’m 5-foot-8.

When I saw the scale go over 200 pounds, I knew I had to do something.”

His running streak started Nov. 21, 2009.

“I decided to keep track of the days of a streak, because if I just trained for a race or something, it would be too easy to say, ‘Well, the race isn’t for a few months. I can take a day off.’ If I am keeping track of days in a row that I run, then I can’t take a day off,” Fonck said.

Minooka’s Todd Fonck has been running at least 20 minutes a day for the last 1,721 days. His streak will reach five years on Nov. 21 and he has covered more than 6,000 miles.

ABOVE: Fonck remains a fan and supporter of the Minooka High School track and field program, where he got his start running in 1999. RIGHT: Fonck ran cross country and track for both Minooka High School and North Central College before he began his streak of running every day nearly five years ago.

Even through injuries and the freezing winters, Fonck – who works as a financial aid adviser at Joliet Junior College – finds his way out the door every day.

“My kids usually know that daddy gets home from work, goes for a run, and then we can play,” he said. “It actually helps me out. If I had a long day at work, I can go out and kind of let the day go out there.

“I tend to run through neighborhoods and stuff. My dad ran for the Indians, and

he still lives in Minooka. And some of his friends will yell out at me, ‘Run, Forrest, run!!’

It’s all in good fun, and it motivates me to keep going, too.

When it gets really cold, Fonck said he stays inside and runs on a treadmill.

“I am crazy with this streak – I did run when I had a sprained ankle that was all black and blue – but not crazy enough to go outside in that stuff,” he said.

“It’s almost an obsession, but it’s just part of a daily routine for me. I can’t say when I

will stop. I will know. My body will let me know when it’s time to stop. But for now, it’s so much a part of my routine that it would be asking like if I knew when I would stop brushing my teeth. It’s just ingrained in my routine.”

Fonck’s son, Caleb, was born in January 2010, so he has never known a day when his dad hasn’t gone for a run.

“Caleb wants to come with me all the time,” Fonck said.

“It has really rubbed off on him, I guess. I try to make sure I work my running around

my family, not the other way around. If we have somewhere we have to be after work, I will get up early before work and make sure I get my run in.”

His wife, Mandy, is pregnant with the couple’s third child. “She thinks one of these times I will be out running when she goes into labor,” Fonck said – which is why he gets up early to run.

“She jokes with me about it, but she has no problem,” he said. “She knows it’s part of my life; and if it keeps me around for a while longer, I think she’s OK with it.”

Fonck was one of the first Minooka athletes current cross country and girls track coach Kevin Gummerson had the experience of coaching. In fact, Fonck’s first year of running competitively was 1999, which was also Gummerson’s first year of coaching at Minooka.

“Todd was always very dedicated and enthusiastic about the sport,” Gummerson said. “He held himself up to a high standard. I always try to tell our runners that track is something they can do for the rest of their lives, and Todd is a great living example of that.”

There are times the team has been out running and encountered Fonck.

“I will yell out to him, ‘What’s the count up to?’ and he will have the exact number of days,” Gummerson said.

“That’s something I can show the kids and keep them interested in running. Plus, he’s a great fan of our team and loves coming to our meets just to support us.”

Running is Todd Fonck’s passion, and it has apparently seeped into the next generation.

“All our little boy, Caleb, wants to do is run,” Mandy said. “He just loves to go to the Indian Pride track meets and do those races. He’s 4, but he started doing the races when he was 17 months. He bugs me all day when it’s the day of the race. But the good thing is that he sleeps well that night when the races are over.”

He may end up with a streak much longer than his father’s.

AVIATORS 6, SLAMMERS 0

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent

Trail singled Corcino home to make it 3-0 with two outs.

Joliet manager Jeff Isom lifted Costello for righthander Sam Moore. Moore hit Mason Morioka before getting Hur to hit a groundball to Joliet shortstop Max Casper, who flipped to Adrian English to force Trail at second.

The single Brueggemann gave up in the third inning was a bump in the road for the right-hander, who retired the next nine Joliet hitters.

Casper singled to right with two outs in the bottom of the sixth to end the streak. Brueggemann fanned Epps to end the inning.

Joliet reliever Kevin McNorton entered the game in

the seventh. He retired the first two Aviators he faced before Robinson reached on an infield single.

Isom replaced McNorton with left-hander Tyler Thicke.

He came on to face left-handed hitter Kenny Bryant, who walked.

Thicke then gave up an RBI single to Corcino to make it 4-0. Bryant moved to third and Corcino took second when the throw from center went to third base.

Isom then replaced Thicke with right-hander Andrew Strenge Kalaika Kahoohalahala singled off Strenge to drive in Bryant and Corcino to make it 6-0. Kahoohalahala was

JOLIET – The Slammers entered Tuesday’s game at Silver Cross Field against the Rockford Aviators with a chance to move into fifth place in the Frontier League.

However, the Aviators (33-49) beat the Slammers (3151), 6-0, to stay in fifth place by two games.

The Aviators touched Joliet starter Matt Costello (11) for two runs in the first inning. Tanner Witt drove home the runs with a single to center to make it 2-0.

Rockford starter Kyle Brueggemann (4-8) retired the first seven Slammers he faced

before catcher Adam Lewis singled to left in the bottom of the third inning Costello, who won his first start for Joliet against Lake Erie, 2-1, on Aug. 14, pitched out of a jam in the top of the fifth inning. He gave up backto-back, one-out singles to Eligah Trail and Michael Hur before striking out Brian Bistagne.

Costello walked Witt to load the bases before striking out Dusty Robinson swinging to end the inning.

Costello gave up another run in the top of the sixth inning. Edgar Corcino singled to center. He stole second and advanced to third on Lewis’s throwing error on the play.

Cutler looks, acts like changed man

Golson: ND rallying around loss of players

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, August 20, 2014

Nothing makes me crazier than an analyst who believes he’s made a discovery but refuses to put his name on it for fear of being proven wrong.

Hey, nobody’s perfect, especially me, so I’m done tiptoeing around.

Through an entire offseason of OTAs, veteran minicamp and three full weeks in Bourbonnais, it appears to me Jay Cutler is a changed man.

In spite of his own warning to me today – I’ll get to it in a moment – that my pronouncement may be premature, I’m convinced we’re dealing with a new and better model of Cutler.

While it is one of the telltale signs, I’m not talking just about his relationship with the media.

“We’ve absolutely noticed,” offensive coordinator Aaron Kromer said. “I think everyone in the building has noticed a difference in Jay. “None of us knew Jay very well before getting here last year and we worked through the year and that first year is always hard on everybody.

But we see, and what I see in Jay Cutler right now is a guy

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush that’s leading the group. A guy that is approachable and is working to make everybody better because he realizes that it’s important that everybody is on the same page with him.

“He’s talked with receivers, he’s talked with linemen, he’s working with the running backs constantly and that’s a maturity on his part of knowing the offense, knowing what we want as coaches, and feeling good about being the leader that he is. It’s been a very good start of the year that way.”

If the old Cutler, whose most memorable moments as a Bear have included shoving teammates on the field and cussing out his coaches on national TV, isn’t gone forever, he is certainly deep in hiding.

This new Jay has even made himself the official Bears welcoming party for wayward souls arriving on Halas Hall’s doorstep.

“You know, Santonio

(Holmes) was here, had signed his contract and 60 minutes later he was on the field with Jay and throwing routes,” Kromer said. “That was totally him (Jay) doing it and just getting the timing, getting the feel for how fast he is, the speed, how he’s going to look getting in and out of cuts, so they started right away and they’ve continued since.”

Who would’ve thought J’Marcus Webb would ever long to be a Bear again?

I believe the notion Cutler is injury prone has always been overrated. In the seven seasons since he became a starter in Denver, Cutler has started 16 games three times, 15 games twice, and missed just 13 of a possible 112 starts.

My fear for Cutler has always been that his attitude and the way he’s carried himself, which prior to this year was petulant, angry, dismissive and disgusted with everyone around him a good chunk of time, would be his undoing at a position where, if he couldn’t lead, he would never succeed.

The most important single ingredient for the Bears to

succeed this year is a new and better Jay Cutler. Whether it’s married life, the birth of his second son or he’s just a late bloomer, I think they may just have one.

So I asked the man himself today.

“Jay, are you more at ease this year with yourself, your teammates and the media, and if so why?”

“It might be true,” Cutler responded. “Anytime you are in an offense and have the same group of guys around you, it’s going to be more comfortable. It is for me, anyway. I like the group of guys we have in the locker room, understand what we’re doing offensively. And it’s early. It’s still preseason with you guys.”

A year ago, I would have taken that last line as a legitimate warning. But, based on the big smile and chuckle he offered along with it, I’m pretty sure the new Jay was actually just having fun.

BEARS NOTES

Officials’ emphasis also impacting linemen

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com LAKE FOREST – As if preseason football wasn’t ugly enough, the points of emphasis from referees have led to a ridiculously high number of penalties. The Bears have been penalized 24 times through two games – 33 penalties in four preseason games last year.

The focus from fans and media has been on the increased attention to illegal contact in the defensive backfield, but “illegal use of hands,” or “hands to the face” penalties are also being watched closely this preseason.

The added emphasis affects players on both sides of the line of scrimmage, although Matt Slauson has seen it impact defensive linemen more when they try to rush the passer.

“We originally thought that rule was going to affect us a lot more than the defense, but seems to be going that they’re calling a lot on the defense as well,” he said.

The Bears have been called six times for illegal use of hands this preseason – four times on defense, two on offense – compared to three called on linemen all last season.

The other rule Slauson must be aware of is referees are paying close attention to any sudden movements by offensive linemen worthy of a false start flag. Slauson said he got warned about it a couple times last year, and it’s not a new rule, just something that is being emphasized more.

“I can’t jolt over there and back,” he said, describing his movements in certain presnap situations. “I have to be

nice and slow.”

Snapper emerges: With the Monday news of Chad Rempel getting waived, Brandon Hartson is the Bears’ long snapper as it stands, and the likely player to have the pressure of replacing Patrick Mannelly to start the season.

“It’s a blessing. It’s an opportunity that not a lot of people get to have,” Hartson said.

Hartson was with the Bears for a spell last summer and said he lost 15 pounds and got faster for this training camp, while getting some help from Mannelly on his blocking and footwork, among other snapping nuances.

“Coming from University of Houston, we never blocked, it was just straight down the field,” Hartson said. “Coming from Pat, during OTAs during a little break, he helped out a

couple times, he helped me out a lot, footwork, keeping my body low, and helped me out with laces a little more.”

New return candidate: Darius Reynaud said this is a first for him, joining a team in the middle of the preseason, but that he worked to stay in shape just in case. “I’ve still got a lot to show. I’ve been in the league for almost seven years,” Reynaud said. “I still have a lot left in the tank. I still feel like my high school days.”

Injury update: Jared Allen missed Tuesday’s practice with a shoulder bruise. Kyle Fuller (ankle), Jordan Mills (foot), Eben Britton (hamstring), Isaiah Frey (hamstring) and Brian de la Puente (knee) all remain out. Lance Briggs returned to practice after missing Monday with a knee contusion.

By TOM COYNE The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Quarterback Everett Golson said the adversity of abruptly losing four teammates while Notre Dame investigates whether they were involved in academic dishonesty is bringing the Fighting Irish together.

“I guess I can go back to my instance, where you really see who your true friends are,” said Golson, who was suspended from school last fall for academic impropriety. “You see your true brotherhood through adversity. I think we’ve definitely come together.

“I think we’ve done a great job of dealing with adversity and know everybody on the outside is going to talk. But we can only control what we can control and that’s the mindset of our team. I think we’ve done a great job with that,” he said.

Linebacker Jaylon Smith echoed that sentiments.

“We’re a family here.

We’ve just got to bond together,” he said.

Most of the other members of the 17th-ranked Fighting Irish who spoke during Tuesday’s media day wouldn’t comment about how the team was reacting to the losses of starting cornerback KeiVarae Russell, leading returning receiver DaVaris Daniels, defensive end Ishaq Williams and backup linebacker Kendall Moore.

School officials have said they don’t know how long the investigation will take.

Golson wouldn’t talk specifically about the four players involved, saying he didn’t know enough about what occurred, but he talked about what he went through when he was suspended and how embarrassing it was.

FOOD Fermenting an interest in beer Lockport librarian home brews, presents educational programs Know more

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Home brewing is 50 percent art and 50 percent science, said Scott Pointon.

The art portion consists of experimenting with flavors, said Pointon, of Crest Hill, a home brewer, director of the White Oak Library District and member of BOSS (Brewers of South Suburbia).

The science is the technical process to produce a quality beer. Pointon said he’s better at the second and tends to follow recipes – which, he feels, is perfectly acceptable.

“I just brewed my 130th batch of beer,” Pointon said, “and it’s all been drinkable.”

Since 2010, four years after Pointon started brewing, he’s given an average of two “You Can Brew It” presentations a month – the majority of them at public libraries.

Most of his attendees are men between the ages of 20 and 50 – not the usual demographic who attends library programs, Pointon said.

What often amazes people is the relatively low cost of home-brewing.

Pointon said he made his first few batches on his kitchen stove with a prepared malt extract, an inexpensive 5-gallon pot and a couple plastic buckets.

“My whole starter kit cost me $120,” Pointon said.

Pointon’s website at youcanbrewit.webs.com lists his current equipment: a 10-gallon cooler for a mash tun (where the starches in grains are converted into sugars), a 5-gallon cooler for a hot liquor tank, a propane burner (in the garage) and – for a fermentation chamber – a temperature-controlled chest freezer.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Listen closely to their bidding

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Jeff Lynne, who has had a stellar musical career, in particular with the Electric Light Orchestra and the Traveling Wilburys, and has gone on to become a major record producer, said, “I think from the age of 13, I really wanted to be a producer, and I’ve always thought that the producer was the top of the tree.”

Maybe you learned bridge when you were 13; but at whatever age you started playing, the number 13 is critical. Each suit has 13 cards and each hand starts with 13 cards. East forgot that in this deal.

South was in four hearts after the given auction. West led the club ace. When East signaled with the nine (starting a high-low with his doubleton), West cashed the club king and gave his partner a club ruff. What should East have done now?

The auction was natural.

North’s two-no-trump rebid was game-invitational. South’s three-heart bid indicated at least 5-5 in the majors. North naturally raised to four hearts. (Three notrump fails if the defenders attack diamonds early in the play.)

At trick four, East tried to cash the diamond ace to set the contract. However, South trumped and crossruffed home. East should have analyzed the auction and play.

South showed at least 10 cards in the majors. He also followed to three rounds of clubs. So South had to be void of diamonds.

East should have put the diamond ace back into his hand and instead led a trump. Then the contract would have failed, South being victim to the bad spade break.

Never stop counting.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I’m married to the love of my life. I can’t imagine loving a man more than I love “Wayne,” and I know he feels the same about me. The problem is, he’s always telling stories about things he has done, including past relationships, in graphic detail.

I have heard all of them repeatedly, and I’m sick of them.

When I tell him this he says, “Fine! I won’t talk to you anymore.” Wayne never talks about our past, present or future. How can I get him to stop reliving “the good ol’ days” and start focusing on our life together? – Current Event In Kentucky Dear Current Event: Wayne may react defensively when you say you’re “sick” of his stories because he feels you are criticizing him. Perhaps if you told him that hearing him dwell on past relationships is hurtful, he might be willing to enlarge his repertoire.

If that doesn’t help, it’s possible your husband feels his best years are behind him. Past conquests and adventures can

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips be more fun to dwell on than the new lawnmower, the plumbing that needs replacement, which friends are sick and the most recent one who died. Things might improve if you work together to create activities that will spice up your lives and give him some new material. Try it.

It might benefit you both.

Dear Abby: I have been in a relationship with “Bob” for 12 years. He doesn’t work and doesn’t take care of our children because he says it’s “not his responsibility.” I have supported him all this time, yet nothing is good enough.

He has cheated on me several times. During his third affair, he had two kids with the other woman. He doesn’t understand why I don’t trust him and why I insist on seeing his cellphone.

The last time I was able to get ahold of it, he broke down the

bathroom door trying to get it back.

He threatens to move out, and if he does, that will be “the last I hear from him.” I would be relieved if he went. I have so much anger toward him. I love him, but at this point love doesn’t have anything to do with it.

I have asked him several times to leave, but he just keeps saying he’ll be leaving on his own terms. I can’t continue like this anymore. He brings out the worst in me and I hate it. What do I do? – Had It In Phoenix Dear Had It: That you have tolerated this behavior for 12 years boggles my mind. Because this philandering freeloader has resided with you for so long, you may have to go through formal eviction proceedings to get rid of him. You have given him a free ride, and you may need the services of a lawyer to pry him out of there. If you do, consider it money well spent.

Retrograde ejaculation in men could cause infertility Dear Doctor K: For the past few months, I haven’t been ejaculating, even when I have an orgasm.

Why not? What’s wrong?

Dear Reader: It sounds like retrograde ejaculation. There is one tube, the urethra, which leads from the bladder and through the center of the penis. The urethra carries urine out of the body.

Two tubes, one on each side of the urethra, lead from the seminal vesicles and open into the urethra. The seminal vesicles are tiny glands that make semen.

(The prostate gland helps make semen, too.) Semen is a thick fluid that helps nourish sperm. Without healthy sperm, the human species cannot last. Sperm is made in the testicles and passes up to the opening of the seminal vesicles in still another pair of tubes. There, sperm mixes with the semen.

Here’s what is supposed to happen when a man ejaculates: The mixture of semen and sperm is thrust forward through a man’s urethra and out the tip of his penis. However, the urethra is an open tube. While one part of the

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tube leads forward and out of the body, the other part of the tube leads backward into the bladder.

To make sure that the semen and sperm move forward, and not backward, a tiny circular muscle at the bladder entrance shuts the opening to the bladder during ejaculation. This prevents semen from entering, and creates more pressure pushing semen and sperm out through the penis.

In retrograde ejaculation, the tiny circular muscle does not function normally. As a result, all or part of the semen travels backward into the bladder. And less – or no – semen comes out of the penis. (I’ve put illustrations showing normal and retrograde ejaculation on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Retrograde ejaculation does not interfere with a man’s ability to have an erection or to achieve

orgasm. But it can cause infertility because sperm cannot reach the woman’s uterus.

Retrograde ejaculation has several possible causes. Damage that occurs during prostate, lower back, pelvic or bladder surgery may cause the condition. So might nerve damage that can result from multiple sclerosis or diabetes. The condition is also a possible side effect of certain medications taken for prostate enlargement, depression and psychosis.

Only if the condition interferes with fertility does it require treatment. If it is a side effect of medication, your doctor will switch you to a drug that does not affect ejaculation.

Sometimes it is not possible to restore normal ejaculation. If this is the case, and you want to father a child, a fertility specialist may be able to help.

Drug addiction can affect females as much as males Dr. Wallace: I’m an 18-year-old female. I have never taken any type of illegal drug in my entire life, and I seriously doubt that I ever will.

I’m also positive that all of my many close friends are drug-free, and we all talk about not getting involved with guys who are doing drugs. We are thinking that it must be a male thing to be into drugs. Do you agree?

– Nameless, Goshen, Indiana Dear Nameless: I agree. The American Council on Drug Education has stated that of teen drug addicts, 72 percent are males.

But females do become addicted to drugs, and their addiction is every bit as serious as addiction for males. Please read the following letter from a young mother who had a difficult time overcoming her drug habit: Dr. Wallace: I’m a young mother of two sons. When I was in high school, I took every drug I could get my hands on. I met a young man shortly after I graduated from high school (don’t ask me how I graduated; all I remember of high school is that I wanted to pass driver’s education) and with his love and understanding I went straight. Don’t think it wasn’t a chore, because I was addicted to heroin.

After two wonderful years of marriage, I started taking cocaine and it didn’t take long to discover that I could supplement the family income by selling a little cocaine as a sideline.

Unfortunately (probably fortunately) for me, one of my customers was an undercover cop.

As I write this letter,

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace I have lost my husband and children and I’m facing a prison sentence.

I am living proof that drugs can destroy a user’s life.

Teens, please listen to my plea. It comes from my heart. Don’t start using drugs! It’s just a matter of time before drugs control your life.

– Mother, Moss Bluff, Louisiana Dear Teens: Who suffers more stress when taking a test, bright girls or bright boys?

Dr. Lisa Ridgway at the University of Colorado gave hormone tests to 162 high-achieving teens before final examinations and this is what she found: A week before finals, girls reported significantly more stress than boys. By examination day, girls’ level of stress hormone had risen more than 50 percent – to three times the boys’ stress levels, which were unchanged.

At age 13, both boys and girls had the same stress levels before tests, but as they got older, girls felt more stress while the boys’ stress levels actually dropped.

But even as girls get older and more comfortable in female roles, they still tend to feel uncomfortable about competition, Dr. Ridgeway said.

While girls felt more stress taking examinations, it didn’t affect their grades. In fact, the girls had slightly higher grades.

Waving a red flag in the Ivy League

By REBECCA SCHUMAN Slate ST. LOUIS – In his introduction to “Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life,” former Yale professor William Deresiewicz describes today’s Ivy League as a highly competent zombie factory, one that “manufactures students who are smart and talented and driven, yes, but also anxious, timid and lost, with little intellectual curiosity and stunted sense of purpose: trapped in a bubble of privilege, heading meekly in the same direction, great at what they’re doing but with no idea why they’re doing it.” He then explains how the alleged best higher-education system in the world got this way — and what can be done to foster a top-tier college environment at once more diverse and less miserable.

From the racket of the U.S. News rankings to the overextended misdeeds of poseur-scholar James Franco, from the history of the “legacy” system (originally put in place to keep out Jewish students), to the overuse of adjuncts, there is little in the contemporary higher-ed landscape — in which he spent two and a half decades as both student and professor — that Deresiewicz leaves unquestioned.

In a recent email conversation, we discussed at least a fraction of what “Excellent Sheep” covers. Excerpts:

Q: Your tour for this book is almost exclusively to the very institutions you lambaste for their corporatized fostering of elitist mediocrity. Any awkward moments?

A: I’m speaking at those schools because that is the audience that most needs to hear my message. To the credit of the individuals or groups who have invited me, at least some people on elite campuses recognize as much. I’ve actually been

In his introduction to “Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life,” former Yale professor William Deresiewicz describes today’s Ivy League as a highly competent zombie factory, one that manufactures students who are smart, talented and driven but also anxious, timid and lost. speaking on these topics at schools like that for the last six years, often at the invitation of student groups.

In fact, those conversations were instrumental in helping me develop the book – in giving me a sense not only of what’s going on with high-achieving students now, but of what they need and want to hear. So I’m not worried about awkward moments. I welcome whatever questions or responses students (and professors, and administrators) may have. Besides, I’ve found that today’s students are unfailingly polite — almost to a fault, I would say.

higher), if you’re the kind of kid who goes to these schools, you have the opportunity to live a life of meaning and purpose and still make a perfectly decent living. This is a very rare opportunity in human history, and the only thing that can screw it up for you is if you allow yourself to buy into the kind of standards that the system works so hard to instill, that desperate need for the constant affirmation of credentials and gold stars, whether in the form of A’s or of ultra-high salaries and prestigious titles.

Q: In your early chapters, you present a heartbreaking paradox of students who are overworked and miserable. Will you tell me a little bit more about what you refer to as “the opportunities [elite education] closes down”?

A: I mean the opportunity

Q: I’m sure you’re aware of the unintended consequences of talk of “doing what you love” and “vocation,” which is the monetary devaluation of artistic or creative work. Is there a Golden Mean between the soul-sucking $150K consulting job and the rhetoric of “vocation”?

A: Yes, I’m quite aware

not to be rich — or high-status — and still live a good life. In other words, if you’re a smart, talented, energetic young person in America today (especially if you grow up upper-middle-class or

of the way the rhetoric of love and vocation has been co-opted by people who don’t want to pay their workers (intellectual, creative, or otherwise) what they deserve. But that doesn’t mean

that love and vocation aren’t real things. People should strive to do work that’s meaningful to them, and they should also insist (to the extent they can, which is a lot greater if people act collectively) that they get paid a fair wage for that work. “Love” should matter to you; as far as your boss is concerned, it’s none of their business.

I should also add something very important: I am not telling students to go into any particular kind of work – the arts, academia, service work, whatever.

Being a lawyer can certainly be a very meaningful occupation. Purpose and pay are separate issues. The point is not what you do but why you do it, how you choose it.

Q: How do the younger kids you talk to react to your warnings about elite education?

A: I’ve gotten a fair number of emails from high school students, most of which say, essentially: thank you. Thank you for giving me a perspective that my crazy peers/teachers/ parents don’t have. Though I should say that someone also told me, about the recent article, that the most offended readers are Ivy-bound 18-year-olds. To which I say, it’s never too early to start shaking them up.

Q: Any final thoughts about the initial reactions to the book?

A: One of the arguments I’ve seen, in published responses to my article, is that I exaggerate the depth of psychological distress among high-achieving students today. Kids are fine, people say; college students have always been unhappy. Well, they’re not fine, and they haven’t always been unhappy – not like this. We’re putting kids under the kind of pressure that no young person should have to face, and a lot of them are cracking, even if we can’t see it. We need to start to see it.
