Joliet commits millions to courthouse

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County got a financial leg up in building a new courthouse Friday when the city of Joliet announced its pledge of more than $10 million over a 20-year period as an incentive for the county to stay downtown.

County leaders this year asked the city to be a financial partner in the major capital project. City and county officials said Friday during a joint news conference that the city would contribute $500,000 annually over two decades and waive $2.3 million in building permit fees as part of a tentative deal between the local government bodies.

County officials have pegged the First Midwest Bank site at Ottawa and Jefferson streets, which the county bought last year, as a potential location for a new

courthouse.

A groundbreaking is expected in 2018 with a two- to three-year timeline for completion. The new building is expected to cost between $150 million and $175 million.

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he and county leaders worked closely to reach a compromise that would help keep the courthouse in the downtown area.

“I’m happy to say the new courthouse is going to be built here in downtown Joliet. It’s going to serve as an anchor in Joliet going forward,” O’Dekirk said.

Joliet councilman John Gerl, who led negotiations for the city, said he believes Joliet will fit the $500,000-a-year payments into the city’s operating budget. Gerl is the finance director for the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

“We see this as an investment,” he said.

‘Slowing down the wheels of justice’

Conversations surrounding a new county courthouse picked up over the past year, because of the county’s growing population, coupled with a lack of sufficient space and security in the existing facility, built in 1969.

The county’s population was 250,000 when the courthouse was built, said County Board member Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington, who is also an attorney. Now, its population is close to 700,000, with the courthouse seeing about 800,000 annual visitors.

The county has experienced “significant growth” in the past 46 years, Freitag said, and has become “ground zero for those growing pains.”

“As an attorney, I regularly work in this courthouse. I see firsthand how the lack of necessary space and modern security are slowing down the wheels of justice,” she said.

County Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said the monetary partnership is a “very important step” in financing the construction of a safe, secure and efficient courthouse that serves current and future needs.

The county board plans to sell bonds this fall to help pay for a new courthouse.

County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, said county officials may use a mix of revenue sources to help pay back the bonds over time, including an RTA sales tax and courthouse parking lot revenues.

Other potential funding sources include about $1.5 million annually from a recently enacted court user fee and another $2.4 million from a property tax increase dedicated for capital improvements approved during last year’s budget cycle.

Now, the city’s contribution will help, too, Moustis

said.

“This is the No. 1 priority for us. And it should be the No. 1 priority for the people,” he said.

The courthouse will be built with existing county funds without raising county taxes, Moustis said.

County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. a day earlier cautioned against shifting RTA tax revenue away from the county’s road-and-bridge projects.

On Friday, Walsh said he plans to work closely with all county leaders to find creative revenue sources to pay for upcoming capital projects.

Moustis on Friday said there is “plenty of money” for roads and bridges, noting there’s $100 million – or about three years’ worth of transportation projects – in reserves.

“Public safety is just as important. This is truly a public safety issue,” Moustis said.

Park board plans interim Gearing up for the start of prep football replacement for Egizio

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Park District board on Monday is set to name an interim executive director with Dominic Egizio on leave.

Park district officials have not commented on why Egizio no longer is on the job.

But sources said Egizio went on leave after the park board met in closed session at a special meeting Tuesday and discussed threatened litigation involving a park district employee.

Park board President Glen Marcum on Friday would not discuss how long Egizio is expected to be on leave or why the board has decided to appoint an interim executive director.

“It’s personnel,” Marcum said.

Matt Pehle, the finance director for the park district, is listed on the agenda for the

Monday meeting as Egizio’s interim replacement.

The board meets at 5 p.m. for its regular monthly meeting in Conference Room A at the Presence Saint Joseph Inwood Athletic Club, 3000 W. Jefferson St. Marcum said Pehle’s appointment depends on the park board’s approval. But he said Pehle is one of the top administrators at the park district and should be able to fill the post.

“It’s an interim spot,” Marcum said. “He’s our financial guy. He’s very involved in the decision making.”

Pehle did not return a phone call for comment.

Park district employees said they have been instructed not to discuss Egizio’s absence. At least some employees said they received a memo Thursday morning informing them that Egizio was on a leave of absence for personal reasons and questions

should be referred to Brad Staab, superintendent of communications.

Staab, when asked Thursday whether Egizio was on leave, issued a statement by email that stated: “The Joliet Park District respects the privacy of its employees and does not speak public on matters regarding its personnel.”

Marcum also declined to comment on whether Egizio is on leave. But the first item on the agenda for Monday is the approval of administrative leave for the executive director.

Park operations have continued as normal in Egizio’s absence, Marcum said. The last time Egizio was known to be working was Tuesday.

“We have very strong superintendents who all manage their different departments,” he said. “They’ve been there for years. The park district hasn’t missed a beat.”

Visitors enjoy new look during dedication ceremony

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

Resiliency

An example of a negative event yielding to a positive result couldn’t have been clearer than during the dedication ceremony.

The five pillars all were standing erect in front of a brushed aluminum dedication plaque. Improved landscaping bordered the walkways, which were extended to the right to a monument dedicated for the Purple Heart award and to the left for viewing a monument to fallen soldiers.

Also, a new sound system will play taps every day at sunset.

The ceremony marked the 11-year anniversary of the

JHN

NEW LENOX – Korean War veteran and New Lenox resident Bill Walter remembered his VFW Post 9545 brethren hurt and upset over vandalism of the New Lenox Veterans Memorial site in September.

Four of the five pillars that represented the different branches of the armed forces were knocked over.

The U.S. Marine Corps and Coast Guard monuments had cracked. Only the U.S. Army pillar was unharmed.

“We were devastated,” Walter said. “We didn’t know who did it. But then we got together.”

Led by the VFW, people and organizations from New Lenox and across the country donated money to restore the memorial. They raised about $55,000 and went beyond bringing back the original glamour of the monuments.

The village, VFW, American Legion Post 1977, federal and state legislators, county and local officials, veterans and members of the public came to watch the dedication of the restored memorial Saturday morning.

VETERANS MEMORIAL RESTORED

Christine Johnson for Shaw Media

On Saturday, the Villiage of New Lenox hosted the rededication of the Veterans Memorial, which was vandalized Sept. 27, 2014. The restoration was made possible with the help of VFW Post 9545. original memorial’s dedication.

New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann introduced the memorial to the public before Congressman Bill Foster, D-Naperville; state Sen. Michael Hastings, D-Tinley Park; and John Forsythe from the VFW spoke.

Baldermann talked about the memorial site carrying a message of freedom and appreciating it.

“That is only [possible] because of the sacrifices of those who have served,” he said.

Foster noted the improvements to the site, and commented on giving veterans the care they deserve.

“Each time, I’m struck by the humility that they display

“You may kick us, you may punch us, knock us down. But there’s one thing that’s true. We’re going to get back up and we’re going to continue fighting and that’s what this memorial is about.”

Sen. Michael Hastings D-Tinley Park when talking about their service,” Foster said.

Hastings served in Iraq, Iran and Syria as part of the 1st Infantry Division.

When he heard about the vandalism, he was reminded of the cohesiveness of the veteran community.

“You may kick us, you may punch us, knock us down,” Hastings said. “But there’s

one thing that’s true. We’re going to get back up and we’re going to continue fighting and that’s what this memorial, is about.”

A 21-gun salute and playing of taps followed the speeches. After the ceremony was over, the public was invited to share cake and coffee at the police department, then a sloppy joe luncheon hosted

by the VFW.

Vandalism

New Lenox police were alerted to the vandalism at about 6 a.m. Sept. 28. The damaged monuments, which stand at 5 feet tall, weigh several hundred pounds each and were secured with metal poles, had clear fingerprints.

“It was terrible someone would vandalize that,” said New Lenox resident Wayne Annerino, whose son is a U.S. Marine veteran and whose father served in World War II. “I’m here to offer my support,” he said.

The VFW announced the news on its Facebook page

Continued from page 3 and set up a fundraiser to help restore the monuments. Six weeks later, a large, $10,000 donation from Exelon Corp. pushed the total to more than $41,000.

On Oct. 8, Bourbonnais resident Brian Sundstrom was arrested and charged with criminal damage to state-supported property after Sundstrom came to the New Lenox police station to talk about the site damages.

Detectives obtained probable cause to arrest him, including a fingerprint match to those found on the memorial pillars.

As of Saturday, Sund-

strom’s case is ongoing.

During a Tuesday hearing, Sundstrom appeared in court under the custody of Chester Mental Health Center and was transferred to the custody of the Will County Sheriff after a sanity evaluation was ordered, and a physical evaluation found he was fit to stand trial.

But regardless of who damaged the monument, Walter said he was glad the VFW brought so many people to the dedication.

“It was a learning experience,” he said. “It’s good to feel appreciated.”

Man dies after suffering gunshot wound

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 28-year-old Joliet resident died Friday night after he was shot in the head while allegedly rushing the gunman with a steak knife, according to police and coroner reports.

Shador M. Jenkins was pronounced dead at 9:31 p.m.

Friday at the Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center emergency room, according to the coroner’s office.

Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said the alleged shooter, Joliet resident Dwayne L. Johnson, 22, was arrested and charged with aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

Roechner said witnesses reported Jenkins and another person had a disagreement with another group of three people at the 400 block of Wallace Street. Jenkins allegedly went after Johnson with a steak knife before Johnson allegedly fired four shots, one hitting Jenkins in the head, and another bullet hitting the other 23-year-old man with Jenkins in the hand.

That victim was taken to the hospital with injuries deemed to be life threatening.

After the shooting, Johnson allegedly fled with the two other subjects in a silver Pontiac vehicle.

Roechner said police received the call about the inci-

Roechner said officers located and stopped the vehicle on Des Plaines Street. They found a handgun in the vehicle and brought the three individuals in for questioning. Johnson was the only one charged with the crime.

Jenkins appears to have died as a result of the shooting, according to the coroner’s office.

Roechner said Saturday the Joliet Police Department still is investigating the incident.

An autopsy conducted Saturday confirmed the wound to the face was a gunshot. The final cause of Jenkins’ death is pending police investigation and toxicological reports, according to the coroner’s office.

CORRECTIONS In the article, “Officials concerned about tax proposal,” that was on page 2 of the Wednesday, Aug. 19, 2015, edition of The Herald-News, Ilandus Hampton, Joliet Township High School District 204 assistant superintendent for business services, was misquoted. He said he hopes the property tax freeze proposal would not happen.

In the dominant photograph that accompanied the article, “Paying Respects” that was on page 3 of the Friday, Aug. 20, 2015, edition of The Herald-News, an incorrect word was used to describe the The Moving Wall, a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.

The caption should have read: “The wall, which has nearly 60,000 names etched on its surface, honors the men and women who died during the conflict in Vietnam.”

Grundy circuit clerk won’t seek re-election

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Karen Slattery, Grundy County circuit clerk since Jan. 1, 2000, announced Friday she will not seek re-election when her term expires Nov. 30, 2016.

“I just think that it’s time,” she said. “You just know when it’s time. I’ve enjoyed it.”

Slattery was hired by former Circuit Clerk Rose Marie Bell in March 1983 as a deputy and court clerk, and then was appointed as the circuit clerk in January 2000. She later won the November 2000 election for clerk. She has run unopposed since that time.

She described the early portion of her tenure as a time when she had a fire in her stomach to come in and fix things. Her office adjusted well to the changes, she said, but she no longer has the same passion for the job.

“I don’t have that mindset anymore,” she said. “[Fixing things] isn’t always easy and smooth.”

Slattery said clerk offices across the nation are constantly updating software and adjusting operations. Her office still is transitioning some parts of its system to be electronic, while other elements have been electronic for years.

Slattery is grooming Chief Deputy Circuit Clerk Karen Broncato, who announced Friday her intent to run as a Republican candidate for circuit clerk in 2016. Slattery said

Friday she is “absolutely supporting” Broncato.

“She’s been here since 1994,” Slattery said. “We’ve grown up in this office together. She knows the books, the computer system. I hope she gets the chance to make whatever changes she can.”

Slattery said she hopes everyone who came to the clerk’s office during her tenKaren ure felt they Slattery, were helped Grundy with courtesy County and friendlicircuit clerk ness, and that the same mentality continues at the office.

“I’ve met so many good people from both parties,” she said.

She hasn’t decided yet what she will do at the conclusion of her term, but she’s going to take some time and see what comes her way. She’ll spend more time with her grandchildren, but she’s not calling her choice to leave the office retirement.

“I’m sure I’ll find something,” she said.

Grundy County Board Chairman David Welter said the board would like to thank Slattery for her many years in public office.

“Whoever replaces her will have big shoes to fill,” he said.

“We’ve always had a good working relationship with her office.”

“Thanks for letting us be there

every step of the way.”

Joliet plans to take over 2 sanitary districts

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet expects to eventually take over two sanitary districts it claims owe $819,000 to the city.

The South Ridgewood and Greenfield sanitary districts are the only two that owe the city large amounts of money, a Joliet official said.

The issue came up at a City Council meeting last week during a discussion about a proposal for rate hikes in water and sewer service in Joliet.

City officials were asked about the South Ridgewood and Greenfield districts.

“Those two we’ll probably

take over completely as part of a settlement,” City Manager Jim Hock said to the council.

Attorneys for the city and South Ridgewood are negotiating the city’s claim that the sanitary district owes $622,000 for services not paid for since 2004.

Joliet claims the Greenfield district owes $197,000 for services not paid for since 2009.

Both districts provide a sewer system for residents in unincorporated areas that border the eastern boundaries of Joliet. The sewage is sent to a Joliet treatment plant, the use of which the districts are charged.

This summer, Joliet sent notices to both sanitary districts, and the residents they serve, advising that the city wants the money and threatening litigation.

The South Ridgewood district has a board that oversees operations and has been in court with Joliet previously, contending the city is overcharging for its services.

But the Greenfield Sanitary District no longer has a board, and residents there may not have paid any money for sewer services since 2008.

That is the last year when the Greenfield district entered

a levy on property tax bills to collect money from residents, according to the Will County Clerk’s Office.

A city takeover of the sanitary districts “is going to take some time,” City Attorney Martin Shanahan said. “Greenfield is going to take a little longer because no one’s involved.”

The issue arose during the discussion of water and sewer rates when Utilities Director James Eggen was asked if the city is owed money from other sanitary districts.

“For the most part, they’re good customers,” Eggen said, adding that South Ridgewood and Greenfield are the two exceptions. “The reason it’s come to light recently is we’ve taken a more aggressive approach.”

QUICK NEWS Manley to talk budget, issues facing older adults JOLIET – State Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, will listen to the concerns of older adults and discuss the state budget situation at her monthly retiree advisory committee meeting

scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday at her constituent service office, 2701 Black Road, Suite 201, in Joliet. Those who are unable to attend and want to discuss the issue can contact Manley’s office at 815-725-2741.

18 months or more of hassle, but in the long term it will be well worth it,” Schumacher said. “Not only will it help to alleviate many of our traffic issues ... but having a new and vastly improved interchange is a key component in our future development, especially

that retail development that our residents continue to want.”

The work is being funded by the state and federal governments, with Channahon contributing 20 percent of the cost of putting in a 10-foot shared-use path across the

northern edge of the bridge and a 5-foot sidewalk on the southern edge.

Three of the four frontage roads at the interchange will also eventually be reconfigured. The whole project is estimated to take two-and-a-half years and cost $20 million.

• Sunday, August 23, 2015

CHANNAHON – A complete bridge deck reconstruction of Route 6 at Interstate 55 is scheduled to begin Monday, according to Channahon village officials.

The bridge will be widened to four lanes with designated left-turn lanes onto entrance ramps. Longer approach lanes for truck stacking will be added as well, as will bike path and pedestrian crossings. Vehicles will continue to be allowed through during construction, according to the

Illinois Department of Transportation, as workers will leave one lane open for traffic.

“As our construction is set to begin on Monday, I want to ask everyone to be as patient as possible,” Village President Missey Schumacher said.

She noted it has been 14 years since IDOT’s last big project in Channahon, which was to widen Route 6 along an 11-mile stretch west of the interstate. This project, she said, will improve the aging, narrow bridge and address traffic volume projected to increase by 42 percent by 2040.

12 Through traffic targeted

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Kerwin Terrace residents and city officials hope a few warning signs will make a difference on neighborhood streets being used by motorists as a shortcut.

Increased traffic has become an issue as younger families with kids have moved into the neighborhood, said Bob Pedersen, a former Joliet police officer involved in the Kerwin Terrace Neighborhood Watch group.

Kerwin Terrace lies in a triangle between Plainfield Road, Ingalls Avenue and the Our Lady of Angels retirement community.

Motorists cut through the neighborhood, sometimes to avoid the traffic light at Plainfield Road and Ingalls Avenue, Pedersen said.

“We’re just trying to make it safer for the kids,” he said.

“The streets are just residential streets. They’re not supposed to encourage through traffic.”

Oregon Avenue in partic-

ular is a problem, Pedersen said. There is a four-way stop at the intersection of Oregon and Ingalls avenues, and motorists passing through will pick that spot to turn off Ingalls and cut through the neighborhood, he said.

The city plans to post “No Thru Traffic” signs at three sites: Oregon Avenue off Ingalls Avenue; Connecticut Avenue off Ingalls Avenue and Massachusetts Avenue off Plainfield Road.

The signs should be posted in three or four weeks, said city Traffic Engineer Russ Lubash.

“This is just a warning sign. It’s a yellow sign,” Lubash said. “We’re trying to combat the issue.”

The city initially received a petition from residents seeking to block Oregon Avenue at Ingalls Avenue, he said.

The city surveyed residents, but did not find much support for either creating a cul de sac at the intersection or making Oregon Avenue a one-way street, Lubash said.

The business closed its doors Friday to allow the store’s owner, Steven Eberhard, and his wife to focus on his battle with cancer. from primarily developing prints to focusing on photo restoration, transferring slides to digital formats and creating prints out of antique negatives.

Her husband’s knowledge and expertise about photography is one-of-a-kind and will be missed by loyal customers, she said.

“The people at the big-box

stores don’t have any knowledge of what they’re selling,” Barbara said. “So many people are coming into the store wondering where they’re going to go with questions now.”

Ranch owner who brought tiger to bar sentenced Enters Alford plea in ’13 incident at Lockport business

Big Run Wolf Ranch manager Renee Cajandig (left) and owner John Basile watch in 2014, as Shere Khan, a then-5-monthold Siberian tiger, plays with a stuffed teddy bear in Basile’s kitchen in Lockport. A criminal case involving Shere Khan was resolved Friday when Basile admitted bringing the unmuzzled tiger into Uncle Richie’s Bar in December 2014. Judge Ray Nash sentenced Basile to a year of court supervision and $500 fine.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A tiger walks into a Lockport bar and its owner ends up hearing about a guy named Alford.

The case of Shere Khan was resolved Friday when John Basile, who operates the Big Run Wolf Ranch, admitted to bringing the unmuzzled tiger into Uncle Richie’s Bar in December 2013. Judge Ray Nash sentenced Basile to a year of court supervision and $500 fine.

The case had been scheduled to go to trial Monday but defense attorney Jennifer Kearney and Will County Assistant State’s Attorney

Chris Regis arranged for two counts of reckless conduct and two counts of possession of a dangerous animal to be dismissed and to have Basile charged with disorderly conduct, a Class C misdemeanor that carries a sentence up to 30 days in jail. “[Pleading under] Alford vs. North Carolina ... is not

nearly as common as a blind plea. It does not require you to admit guilt or [liability],” Nash said to Basile about the type of plea he entered.

Shere Khan was only weeks old in December 2013 when Basile brought him to Uncle Richie’s, 112 E. Ninth St. “He brought an unmuzzled

tiger, secured on only a leash, into the establishment to provoke a breach of the peace and alarm [customer] Jan Werth,” Regis said to Nash.

Werth later told investigators the tiger bit her hand, Regis said during a previous court appearance.

On Feb. 16, 2014, Basile and the tiger, who weighed

less than 40 pounds, were walking down Ninth Street when a passing Lockport police officer noticed the commotion.

Basile, who had a federal license to exhibit dangerous animals, said he had been in Uncle Richie’s to promote a “Wildfest” event at the ranch and had two handlers with him when he brought the animal inside.

“This has been like a big brick hanging over my head.

I’m glad to move on,” Basile said Friday.

Basile said Shere Khan is doing well.

“He’s up to about 375 pounds and eating 15 to 20 pounds of meat each day, but that will rise up to about 25 pounds as the weather gets colder,” he said.

The ranch has started a GoFundMe page seeking donations for a bigger shelter for the tiger.

JOLIET – The last independently-owned camera and photo shop in Joliet closed its doors Friday, a move that will allow the store’s owner, Steven Eberhard, and his wife to focus on his battle with cancer.

Barbara Eberhard said she and her husband decided earlier this year that closing Camera House West, 114 N. Larkin Ave., would be best as he goes through rounds of chemotherapy and focuses on his health.

“It’s very sad. This is his business,” she said.

Barbara spent Friday afternoon at the store, attempting to sell the few items that remained on the shelves – discounted photo frames, film and other merchandise. She wants everything cleared out, including the display cabinets, before the shop’s lease ends Aug. 31.

Her husband started working at Camera House – which previously had a second location on East Jefferson Street in downtown Joliet – when it opened in the mid-1970s, she said. He spent many years as an employee before taking over as owner about a decade ago.

The couple’s love for photography brought them together, Barbara said, adding she was a longtime customer.

“We met here. He was a Canon shooter and I was a Nikon shooter,” she said.

“And we’d always get into these little arguments about which was better.”

The two have been married 13 years. Though the store is closing because of her husband’s illness, Barbara said technology has played a big role in the photography business’s changing landscape.

As more photographers made the switch from film to digital, she said in recent years Camera House went

More mosquitoes test positive for West Nile

Brian Bessler

Many communities found to have virus in insect collections

815-846-0879

The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – More mosquitoes tested positive for West Nile virus in Will County in the past week.

Monitoring sites operated by the Will County Health Department reported 14 new virus-positive mosquito pools from Monday to Thursday.

The county had previously reported 10 positive samples this summer.

“We continue to emphasize community awareness and the need to take personal protection measures during trips outdoors,” Executive Director John Cicero said in a

statement. “The use of insect repellent is strongly advised.

The repellent should contain at least a 20 percent concentration of DEET, or any other chemical compounds that deter mosquito bites. Long sleeves, shoes, socks and long pants are also advised.”

Two monitoring sites in Joliet have combined to produce five virus-positive samples.

Bolingbrook, Crete, Mokena and New Lenox sites reported three and Plainfield had two mosquitoes carrying West Nile. Frankfort, Homer Glen, Lockport, Manhattan and Shorewood have each had one positive sample.

About 80 percent of people infected by West Nile virus will report no symptoms.

When symptoms do occur, they are usually mild. However, more serious illness is possible, the department warned.

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

the report stated. Ninety percent of students felt their mentor was someone they could trust and depend on.

Since the first day of classes for District 204 on Wednesday, volunteers have been enthusiastic about the second year of mentoring, Schaus said.

“The program is evolving and has a new face for how [mentors] are going to interact. It’s going to be more active and fun for the mentors. … I think it will be as successful as the first year,” she said.

District officials said during the program’s first

year their vision was to reach out to more students and encourage those who benefited from Mentor2.0 to become mentors themselves.

JOLIET – Joliet West and Central high schools are looking for more male volunteers to join the Mentor2.0 program.

Throughout the summer, Joliet Township High School District 204 and Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will & Grundy Counties have been searching for enough mentors to become part of the second year of the program, which helps students academically and socially, and prepares them for college.

But now the program is in need of 25 more male volunteers, said Courtney Schaus, Mentor2.0 program coordinator.

“We’re really just female heavy in the amount of volunteers we got for this school year,” she said.

Big Brothers Big Sisters will accept male volunteers

through September. Men at least 21 years of age who have earned a college degree can apply online through the organization’s website, bbbswillgrundy.org.

The Mentor2.0 program began last year and matched 50 students from West and Central with mentors. The program is inspired by New York-based iMentor, which has provided 8,000 students with mentors since 1999.

According to a 2014-15 Big Brothers Big Sisters community impact report, 71 percent of mentors helped students research potential colleges and 72 percent helped them create a college plan that aligns with future education and career goals.

Ninety-eight percent of mentors felt participating in the program was a positive experience, and 84 percent felt they understood the difficult challenges facing students,

Luxury buildings change housing at University of Illinois

CHAMPAIGN – The luxury housing boom that’s occurred over the past 14 years at the University of Illinois has changed the way students live on campus, but the allure is starting to wear off because of the price of rent, according to officials.

Gone are the days of sharing bedrooms and bathrooms or living in dorms without air conditioning and elevators. Now, several complexes offer parking, a pool, a sand volleyball court and large balconies, the Champaign News-Gazette reported.

“Students are wanting amenities more like what you would find in downtown Chicago,” said John Druffel, executive vice president for student living at CA Ventures, the owner of the HERE and West Quad buildings.

The first modern luxury building, Green Street Towers, was completed in 2001.

Since then, five other buildings offering students luxury housing started an amenities arms race – bedroom-bathroom parity, flat-screen TVs, in-unit laundry, rooftop grills, hot tubs and pools.

But the increase in state-of the-art housing only applies to University of Illinois students who can afford to pay between $700 and $1,200 each month.

The legislation required doctors to offer hepatitis C tests to patients born between 1945 and 1965.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended the tests since 2012.

The Illinois Hepatitis C Task Force also recommended it.

The state’s largest doctors group urged Rauner to veto the measure. The Illinois State Medical Society said doctors don’t need lawmakers telling them to follow guidelines.

In a Friday veto message, Rauner said the requirement would cost Illinois’ Medicaid agency and the state health insurance plan added money during a budget crisis. He said it also could expose doctors to costly litigation.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Afghan car bombing kills at least 12

KABUL, Afghanistan – A suicide car bomber attacked a NATO convoy traveling through a crowded neighborhood in Afghanistan’s capital Saturday, killing at least 12 people, including three American civilian contractors for the international military force, authorities said.

The Taliban quickly denied it was behind the attack in Kabul’s Macrorayan neighborhood, though the militants increasingly have been targeting Kabul in recent weeks and often don’t claim attacks that maim large numbers of civilians.

The attack struck near the private Shinozada hospital, the sound of the powerful blast roaring throughout the capital.

Ambulances and Afghan security forces quickly surrounded the blast site, blocking access off from about half a mile away.

Drought may exacerbate wildlife-human activity

LOOMIS, Calif. – The scarcity of food in the wild has been blamed for unusual animal activity during California’s drought, including a recent bear attack, mountain lion sightings and an uptick in orphaned animals.

But the devastating fouryear drought that’s dried up streams and vegetation isn’t

the sole cause, state officials and experts say. Instead, they say the drought is exacerbating long-term trends and natural animal behaviors in a state that is becoming increasingly developed.

Pools and lush gardens in residential areas are attractive to animals forced out of their normal homes. The construction of roads and business developments, along with man’s increased movement into rural areas, had begun fragmenting habitats before the drought.

“You have a longer-term trend exacerbated by this acute change in water availability,” said Dick Cameron, a scientist who studies habitat fragmentation for The Nature Conservancy in California.

Congressman: gunman got ‘raw deal’

NEW YORK – A man who gunned down a security guard at a federal building in Manhattan before killing himself was a whistleblower who had been given “a raw deal” by the agency that fired him, a New Jersey congressman who took up the man’s case said Saturday.

Rep. Bill Pascrell said he did not know what made Kevin Downing, a military veteran who had once been employed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, open fire at the New York federal building Friday.

Police officers investigate on a platform next to a Thalys train Friday at Arras train station, northern France. A gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon on a high-speed train traveling from Amsterdam to Paris, wounding three people before being subdued by two American passengers, officials said.

French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, speaking in Arras in northern France where the suspected was detained, said one of the Americans was hospitalized with serious wounds.

Tragedy averted by train passengers who disarmed gunman in France

By ELAINE GANLEY and NADINE ACHOUI–LESAGE The Associated Press PARIS – A series of heroic actions by passengers thwarted an attack by a man with ties to radical Islam who boarded a high-speed train from Amsterdam to Paris armed with a Kalashnikov, a pistol and a box cutter, officials said Saturday as more details emerged about the dramatic incident that ended with three people injured but no one killed.

The attacker, identified by a French official close to the investigation as Ayoub El-Khazzani, 26, was on the radar of authorities in France, Belgium and Spain.

The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Officials did not disclose a possible motive for the Friday attack, but Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said Spanish authorities had

advised French intelligence about the suspect because he belongs to the “radical Islamist movement.”

As the train passed through Belgium, a French citizen trying to use the toilet encountered and tried to subdue the gunman, who had the assault rifle strapped across his shoulder, Cazeneuve said. Bullets started flying and two American servicemen, with help from an American friend and a Briton, tackled and disarmed him.

“Without their sangfroid, we could have been confronted with a terrible drama,” Cazeneuve said.

The Briton, businessman Chris Norman, said he was working on his computer when he heard a shot and glass breaking and saw a train worker running. The servicemen – U.S. Airman Spencer Stone and Alek Skarlatos, a National Guardsman from Roseburg, Oregon – and their friend, Anthony Sadler,

a senior at Sacramento State University in California, heard glass breaking at the same time.

“I knew we had to do something or he was just going to kill people,” Skarlatos told Oregon TV station KEZI. “I mean, he wasn’t shooting at the time, so I figured it was a good time to do it.”

Sadler told The Associated Press that they saw a train employee sprint down the aisle followed by a man with an automatic rifle.

“As he was cocking it to shoot it, Alek just yells, ‘Spencer, go!’ And Spencer runs down the aisle,” Sadler said. “Spencer makes first contact, he tackles the guy, Alek wrestles the gun away from him, and the gunman pulls out a box cutter and slices Spencer a few times.

And the three of us beat him until he was unconscious.”

Norman said he was the fourth to jump into the fray, grabbing the gunman’s right arm and tying it with his tie.

Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz (left) and Jeb Bush (right) speak Saturday at the Defending the American Dream summit hosted by Americans for Prosperity in Columbus, Ohio.

Cruz outshines Bush at tea party activist summit

By THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press COLUMBUS, Ohio – Texas Sen. Ted Cruz was the handsdown favorite of the Americans for Prosperity annual summit this weekend in Columbus, Ohio, if the number and volume of ovations during the speeches of five presidential candidates who addressed the annual convention of tea party activists was the measure.

At the other end of the spectrum was former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a newcomer to events financed by conservative industrialists Charles and David Koch. Bush was attending his first national conference of Americans for Prosperity and was greeted with respectful but restrained applause by a group that rose essentially out of Republican dissatisfaction with federal spending under his brother, former President George W. Bush.

Cruz, a tea party favorite since his 2012 election, sparked deafening cheers in the Columbus Convention Center auditorium even before he took the stage, entering to the 1980s power anthem “Eye of the Tiger.” During his speech Saturday, he went on to promise to “repeal every word of Obamacare,” and” rip to shreds this catastrophic Iranian nuclear deal.”

Each of Cruz’s lines was met with applause and cheers from the more than 3,000 activists.

Bush, who spoke a day earlier, earned far fewer cheers, and mostly polite applause, from the anti-tax, economic conservative audience from around the country.

David White of Marietta, Ohio, was unimpressed with Bush.

“He did not articulate any plan for what he intends to do as president,” White said. “He used his time to try and rearrange perception of his record in Florida.”

Bush did stress his experience during eight years as Florida governor, noting tax cuts, reduction in the state government workforce and an overhaul in the state’s education system.

Cruz, on the other hand, laid out an agenda that consisted entirely of undoing actions taken by Democratic President Barack Obama.

The event is significant because it’s an opportunity for presidential candidates to impress the conservative group, which spent more than $30 million in advertising against Obama’s re-election in 2012 and has activists, donors and organizers in 36 states and an operating budget for 2016 of roughly $125 million.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who can trace his 2010 Senate election to tea party support,

received hearty cheers, but less robust than Cruz, while taking a more policy-focused approach than Cruz’s more political speech.

“The first thing we must do is become globally competitive again,” Rubio said, describing the fast-moving economy of the future. “That’s why we talk about tax reform. That’s why we talk about regulatory reform.”

The two-day conference was also an opportunity for exposure for lesser-known candidates such as Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry, who rank low in national polls among the field of 17 candidates. The extra exposure could help them rise in national polls, which kept the two from participating in the Aug. 6 debate in Cleveland.

Jindal used much of his speech Friday afternoon to rail against political correctness that he says has diluted the meaning of being American.

Jindal’s parents immigrated to the U.S. from India before he was born, and he rallied the vastly white crowd in Columbus to standing cheers with a call for assimilation.

“I am done with hyphenated Americans,” Jindal said, using the term to describe African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Asian-Americans. “We’re all Americans, united as one.”

WASHINGTON – It wasn’t supposed to be this way.

Nearly six months out from the first votes of a presidential campaign, candidates should be fleshing out who they are and what they stand for.

Instead, some of the bestknown 2016 candidates are toting heavy baggage that’s proving to be a big distraction from the conversations they’d rather be having with the American people.

Like it or not, Hillary Rodham Clinton still is forced to talk about her email. And Jeb Bush still is trying to distinguish himself from his famous brother and father.

Donald Trump, meanwhile, is stoking flames over immigration policy that are fueling his campaign for now but also risk consuming it. And other Republican candidates are finding their own messages knocked off-kilter as they’re forced to respond to Trump’s ideas.

The current distractions for Clinton and Bush are inevitable to some extent but also partly their own making.

For two such well-known candidates, the getting-toknow-you phase of the campaign requires a healthy dose of new ideas, says GOP pollster David Winston.

Absent something new, “the story line tends to drift to the negative,” says Winston, and that trend is particularly pronounced in

a time of general voter dissatisfaction with political discourse and the direction of the country. Neither candidate was able to keep from drifting off course, he says.

Once news emerged early on that Clinton had used a private email account and server as secretary of state, the not-yet-announced candidate knew she’d have to deal with the consequences.

But her campaign miscalculated the staying power of the issue and the various investigations it would spawn.

Clinton’s low-key campaign launch, in which she did more listening than talking, didn’t do anything to quell the swirling controversy. And her subsequent attempts to change the subject to topics like her economic and education proposals came too late to contain the damage.

Now, the clearly frustrated candidate is trying everything from humor to fact-checks to put the issue to rest. She’s blaming government bureaucrats, GOP enemies and fixated reporters for what her campaign insists is an overblown emphasis on the matter.

A somewhat cocky Clinton joked during a speech earlier this month about getting a Snapchat account, saying, “I love it. Those messages disappear all by themselves.”

Four days later, pressed on the email issue by reporters in Las Vegas, Clinton threw up her arms and declared, “Nobody talks to me about it other than you guys.”

By ERIC TALMADGE and KIM TONG-HYUNG The Associated Press PYONGYANG, North Korea – The first high-level talks in nearly a year between South Korea and North Korea were adjourned after stretching into the early hours of Sunday, as the rivals looked to defuse mounting tensions that have pushed them to the brink of a possible military confrontation.

The delegates agreed to resume the meeting at 3 p.m.

Sunday South Korean time, said Seoul’s presidential spokesman Min Kyung-wook.

Min did not disclose any other details about the talks which adjourned at 4:15 a.m. Sunday.

Marathon talks are not unusual for the Koreas, who long have had negotiating sessions in recent years over much less momentous issues.

The closed-door meeting in the border village of Panmunjom, where the armistice ending fighting in the Korean War was agreed to in 1953, began at 6:30 p.m. Saturday, shortly after a deadline set

by North Korea for the South to dismantle loudspeakers broadcasting anti-North Korean propaganda at their border. North Korea had declared that its front-line troops were in full war readiness and prepared to go to battle if Seoul did not back down.

At the meeting, South Korea’s presidential national security director, Kim Kwanjin, and Unification Minister

Hong Yong-pyo sat down with Hwang Pyong So, the top political officer for the Korean People’s Army, and Kim Yang Gon, a senior North Korean official responsible for South Korean affairs.

Hwang is considered by outside analysts to be North Korea’s second most important official after supreme leader Kim Jong Un. The meeting came as a series of incidents raised fears that the conflict could spiral out of control, starting with a land mine attack, allegedly by the North, that maimed two South Korean soldiers and the South’s resumption of anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts.

On Thursday, South Korea’s military fired dozens of artillery rounds across the border in response to what Seoul said were North Korean artillery strikes meant to back up a threat to attack the loudspeakers.

An official from South Korea’s Defense Ministry, who didn’t want to be named because of official rules, said on Saturday the South continued with the anti-Pyongyang broadcasts after the start of the meeting and planned to make a decision on whether to halt them depending on the result of the talks.

While the meeting offered a way for the rivals to avoid an immediate collision, analysts in Seoul wondered whether the countries were standing too far apart to expect a quick agreement.

A short explanation of short selling Dear Mr. Berko: Is it possible to make money on a stock if it falls in value? Our broker has a list of nine stocks he believes will crash in the coming 12 months. He has advised my husband to put up $2,900 and buy put options on all of them.

Please explain puts to me, because my husband won’t or can’t. – EW, Springfield, Ill. Dear EW: Yes, you can make money when a stock price falls. The term “short selling” means a bet that a stock’s price will fall.

Assume you have good reason to believe that Dumbo’s Family Diner (DFD-$100), which you don’t own, will report lower revenues and earnings and that it will drop in price. You can make money two ways. The first is to open a margin account, borrow 100 shares of DFD from your broker (you’ll need $5,000, or 50 percent of DFD’s market val-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko ue, in the account as a security deposit) and then sell those shares at $100 each. This sale puts a $10,000 credit in your account that’s really not yours because you sold DFD and don’t own it. Three months later, DFD reports lower revenues and earnings, and the stock slumps to $90. Now you use $9,000 of that $10,000 credit to repurchase 100 shares of DFD at $90 and return Dumbo to the owner. You keep the remaining $1,000 as a short-term profit. Simple as Simon and easy as pie, but there are lots of moving parts while putting $5,000 at risk. And the big risk is that you were misinformed.

If DFD reports great revenues and earnings and the stock

rises to $110, you’re $1,000 behind the eight ball. So you repurchase 100 shares of DFD at $110 ($11,000), return DFD to the borrowing broker and then walk away with your tail between your legs. You take that $1,000 from the $5,000 deposit, leaving you with $4,000, or $1,000 poorer.

Put options are easy to use and the least risky way of short selling a stock. Puts can geometrically increase your profit potential while limiting your losses to a teeny fraction of the stock’s price. In this instance, a put option is a contract for a specific period of time, giving the owner (you) the right to sell 100 shares of DFD at $100 at any time before the time period expires.

This time period is called the expiration date, and the price at which DFD may be sold is called the strike price. Each put covers 100 shares.

Union helps Joliet nonprofit, school The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Apprentice instructors from the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 176 recently donated their time and materials to help local nonprofit Friends of Community Public Art by repairing electrical wiring at the art center.

The center, at 310 N. Ottawa St. in Joliet, needed assistance to get the building ready for the beginning of a new school year for tenants St. Joseph Academy.

Apprentice instructors Gregg Vershay, Mike Clemmons and Dan Dutkiewicz investigated the reason two electrical circuits were not working at the building. They found that a junction box buried behind drywall was the main culprit. After fixing those problems, they installed three much-needed fluorescent fixtures in a storeroom.

Here’s how it buries.

Assume DFD is trading at $100. You purchase a put on DFD with a three-month expiration date and a strike price of $100, for which you will pay a $200 premium. This premium is the price paid to an investor who guarantees to buy 100 shares of DFD at $100 a share at any time during the coming three months, even if it’s worth, say, $42 a share. So instead of risking $10,000 as in the above example, you’re risking $200. Because a put is a form of shorting a stock, its market price will mimic the changes in price of DFD shares.

For illustrative purposes, assume that on the put option’s expiration date, DFD trades at $95 a share. You can buy 100 shares at $95 and use the option to sell at $100 and make $500. Therefore, this put will sell for $5 on its expira-

tion date. So sell the put at $5. Because the put cost you $200, your net profit is $300.

However, if DFD is trading at $99 on its expiration date, the put will be worth $1, or $100 per contract. Sell it at $100.

Seeing as you paid $200 for the contract, you’ll lose $100 on this trade. And if DFD is trading at $100 on the expiration date, your put will expire worthless and you’ll have lost the $200 you paid.

Recognize that your maximum loss is $200. When shorting a stock, your losses are theoretically infinite. If DFD got a $1,000-a-share buyout offer from Uncle Remus Restaurants, you’d be $90,000 deep in the briar patch.

Congress must DRIVE national freight program In July, the United States Senate passed legislation vital to our nation’s commerce, jobs and quality of life: the Developing a Reliable and Innovative Vision for the Economy Act (DRIVE Act). It provides targeted investments for our surface transportation system aimed at improving goods mobility and supporting agriculture, U.S. manufacturing and exports. In developing this piece of legislation, Republicans and Democrats united in calling for a freight program that makes strategic improvements to the transportation system driving our economy.

The House of Representatives will need to act swiftly upon returning to Washington in September, as existing legislation expires at the end of October, placing jobs and desperately needed infrastructure improvements in jeopardy. While the House of Representatives presently does not have a proposal on the table, it has upheld the same freight investment principles through the recommendations offered by its bipartisan Special Panel on 21st Century Freight Transportation.

Extending current law for the 33rd time is insufficient if we want to support and grow the economy, because current transportation programs do not adequately invest in goods-moving infrastructure. Between 2008 and today, Congressional underinvestment has resulted in the quality of U.S. roads dropping in rankings from eighth to 16th in the world. The Interstate Highway System, once the envy of the world and an asset to manufacturers, farmers, consumers and commuters, is deteriorating and driving up the price of the goods we consume each day. If freight volumes grow 45 percent by 2045, as the United States Department of Transportation predicts, our problems will dramatically worsen.

There is an unquestionable

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

GUEST VIEW John Greuling federal role in goods movement as more than 75 percent of goods cross state lines. And, there is an unquestionable benefit: Delays on our nation’s highways cost Americans $124 billion annually in direct and indirect losses.

In Will County alone, goods movement activity generates 40,000-plus jobs and freight volume locally is expected to double in the next 10 years. Examples of important projects that will likely be shelved without DRIVE’s new investment are adding lanes to I-80 between Route 30 and I-55 and reconstruction of the Des Plaines River Bridge and the Route 53 interchange at I-80.

The DRIVE Act’s freight program provides, for the first time ever, a freight-specific package that could significantly reverse this challenge. It will be critical for the House of Representatives to match – or surpass – this enthusiasm for a freight-specific infrastructure program to support economic growth and jobs in the south and southwest suburbs. Without Congressional leadership, our region will not continue to grow as a global logistics hub.

A strategic investment campaign is needed to improve our freight infrastructure and keep us economically competitive in the global marketplace. States and localities can’t do it alone – we need Congressional leadership to DRIVE this effort. Please join me in supporting our elected officials’ efforts to move forward a surface transportation reauthorization bill complete with a robustly funded freight program.

Right Wing’s email fairy tale If you look up “kangaroo court” in the dictionary, you’ll find a big old picture of Rep. Trey Gowdy. Why? Because he is leading a one-man, partisan show trial of harassment against Hillary Clinton. It’s high time someone called him out for it.

Gowdy is the chairman of the so-called House Select Committee on Benghazi – a committee tasked explicitly with investigating the 2012 tragedy in the Libyan city of Benghazi. This is not the first time Benghazi has been investigated. There have been seven different investigations and they have not found a scrap of evidence of any wrongdoing by Clinton, as alleged by Republicans. They have issued nine reports in total (if you’re interested in reviewing the reports, visit democrats. benghazi.house.gov/previous-investigations/previous-reports.)

But last year, House Speaker John Boehner gave Gowdy an unlimited budget of taxpayer dollars to give it another shot.

After more than a year of investigations, and over $4 million spent, what has Gowdy found? Not one bit of evidence that shows any wrongdoing by Clinton, or as a senior Democrat on Capitol Hill explained, “not a drop of evidence to call into question the original findings of the independent Accountability Review Board.”

There’s no evidence to support Republican allegations against Clinton. Not a single word of novel testimony. Nothing.

VIEWS Donna Brazile So, instead, Gowdy has turned his taxpayer-funded firepower toward the subject of Hillary Clinton’s email. Let’s be clear: Gowdy’s not interested in the preservation of government emails generally. He’s certainly not interested in the fact that Colin Powell used his own private email as secretary of state and never turned over a single message – or that Karl Rove and others in the Bush White House deleted millions of emails, including those sent on a private server run by the Republican National Committee.

Nope, the Republican Gowdy is focused exclusively on what Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton did with her emails. What does this have to do with Benghazi? I’ll let Gowdy speak for himself.

This weekend, on “Fox News Sunday,” he admitted: “Well, probably not much of anything.”

My goodness, as a great man once said, this whole thing is the biggest fairy tale I’ve ever seen. Let’s look at the facts – facts that the media have avoided reporting.

1. Clinton did not send or receive

See BRAZILE, page 34

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

| OPINION

To the Editor: It is arrogant and irresponsible of the Illinois Legislature to impose a property tax freeze on local taxing bodies. This Legislature consists of essentially the same cast of characters who have placed the state on the road to financial disaster, and now they are going to tell our park and road districts that they need to live within their means?

This pandering to popularity, over responsibility, is how we got into this mess in the first place – it would be laughable if it were not so depressing. Our state legislators need to focus on getting the state finances out of the ditch, and keep their hands off of local issues.

Teach spiritual aspects of life

To the Editor: It’s great to see through the Children’s Health and Safety Fair that our community is very concerned to see that children are both healthy and safe.

But who is planning for the children’s spiritual and moral welfare? Who is teaching them about God, the Bible, the Ten Commandments, the life of Jesus Christ, the Golden Rule?

We parents (and especially fathers) should teach these important things and they should be everyday topics in the family. But maybe you as a parent feel inadequate? You could get a good Bible story book like “Egermeier’s Bible Story Book” (or Egermeier’s “ABC Bible Story Book” for younger children) and read a story about Jesus to them each day.

You could read some of the Bible yourself every day (starting in the New Testament) so that you will know what to teach your kids (use a modern English translation and pray for understanding).

You can go to church together, and when you get there, it’s OK if the kids draw or color during the sermon – they can still listen. I really enjoyed watching a father with his arm around his young son during church last Sunday – it looked like

some great bonding was going on.

So parents, don’t let the fun and work of life crowd out the eternally important responsibility of teaching your children spiritual things. As God says in the Bible: “And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.

Repeat them again and again to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up.” (Deuteronomy 6:5-7, New Living translation)

Alveda King said “… abortion has done what the Klan only dreamed of. ... Roughly half of the black population is missing.”

Liberals really like Planned Parenthood.

President Obama is strongly pro-abortion and appointed the judge who stopped the further release of videos. Hillary Clinton said she admires Margaret Sanger. Several liberal TV stations are ignoring the video, but you can see them on YouTube.

Please tell your U.S. senators/representative to defund Planned Parenthood and to pass the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act supported by 60 percent of women, according to a survey done by the Quinnipiac University Poll.

Defund Planned Parenthood

Make a difference – vote

Morris

Joliet

To the Editor: Recent undercover videos of interviews with Planned Parenthood officials again brought to light their hideous and possibly illegal practices along with the gruesome nature of abortion. Planned Parenthood is like a Nazi death camp: killing innocents, butchering/desecrating their bodies, and profiting from selling their body parts.

We should shift taxpayer funding from baby butchering Planned Parenthood to legitimate health care providers.

The Supreme Court (Roe v. Wade) allowed abortion based on not knowing when life begins and said if personhood for the unborn is established, the case collapses. Life begins at conception and the baby is a unique person with DNA different than the mother’s. Half of the babies are male and their sex organs are not just a part of the mother’s body.

Ultrasound proves the baby is always fully human and feels pain at week 20.

The baby is an innocent unique person and is not getting due process. The court ruling should be overturned.

Why is there liberal outrage over the killing of a lion in Africa, but no concern over the butchering of millions of human babies and selling their parts? Black lives matter, but the most dangerous place for a black American is in the womb. Dr.

To the Editor: I noted the extensive article “Park Districts Fear Freeze” in the Sunday, Aug. 16, 2015, edition of The Herald-News. The dreaded freeze applies to all taxing bodies. Unfortunately it is only for two years.

Any taxing district can and does levy up to the Consumer Price index or 5 percent, whichever is less. Almost without fail, they go for the highest raise allowed every year.

I noted New Lenox is concerned. Taxpayers paid off a bond for a golf course costing 30 cents per $100 so now the district only gets 24 cents. Joliet, which just managed to pass a $19.5 million increase, would now not be able to raise taxes for two years.

When is enough enough? People are more often voting no for increases. Others are complaining about being taxed out of their homes. Illinois is ranked #2 in the country for high property taxes and yet elected and appointed officials continue to tax and spend. Illinois is ranked 49th of the 50 states as a comparison from best to worst. Neighboring states tax less and have passed laws to attract businesses.

Illinois politicians and taxing bodies want business as usual.

While park districts and others “Fear the Freeze,” taxpayers finally have some-

thing to hope for. The freeze needs to be permanent; career politicians need to be voted out. It’s like “Wag The Dog” with Chicago politicians dictating to the rest of the state. People are voicing more and more dislike of government and have given up bothering to vote. Unfortunately, that allows the same tax and spenders to stay in office. Don’t give up your right to vote. Make a difference.

Evergreen Terrace boondoggle

To the Editor: Mr. Gerl, as well as the other councilmen voting yes, has committed the city to an unknown, open-ended financial commitment in the decision to purchase Evergreen Terrace.

Mr. Gerl thinks that the city of Joliet will, somehow, more effectively manage the property. The city’s track record does not inspire much confidence in that regard.

Mr. Gerl, being a CPA who constantly reminded voters of that designation, should be well aware of the sunk cost fallacy. Regardless of what path is taken, the sunk costs (legal fees) can never be recovered and should not be considered in this decision-making process.

Therefore, the only issue to be addressed is the level of additional funds the city should spend on this boondoggle.

Should the city spend $15-plus million or risk spending an additional $7 million to extricate itself from this mess? If the city has no additional funds to allocate to Evergreen Terrace after the purchase, how will things improve?

The promise of improvements usually equates to spending additional money.

Mayor O’Dekirk’s comment that he is hopeful the city will make a profit after the acquisition is a bit weak and is not reflective of the leadership style the citizens voted for in April.

JOLIET CATHOLIC

Hilltoppers in position to play keep away At a glance

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – With four burly starters returning to the offensive line this season, Joliet Catholic could give new meaning to “time of possession.’’

The punishing presence of seniors Tyler Witt, Ze’Veyon Furcron, Ricky Fleming and Ethan Emerson might make it difficult for opponents to get the football back.

The 6-foot-3, 305-pound Witt at left tackle and the 6-1, 310-pound Furcron at left guard are expected to be the leaders up front as the Hilltoppers prepare for the regular season and beyond.

“We all know what varsity level brings and we know what to expect,” Furcron said. “That gives us an advantage over other teams. We’re all seniors, so we have that upper hand.”

“It’s a really good feeling knowing that we have playing experience together,” Witt said. “It’s helped us bond because over the summer we’re at the gym together, lifting.

Then out here at practice, it just clicks. We’re ready to go and we’re locked in.

“We’re confident there is no other team that should be able to stop us. We could go out every game and move people off the ball.”

The duo will be joined by Emerson (6-5, 245) and Fleming (6-0, 275) on the line of scrimmage. Starting the season with imposing experience up front is more than comforting for coach Dan Sharp.

“Having those guys back, having most of your line back, that’s pretty good,” Sharp said with a smile.

Returning behind the sizable line are quarterback Cade Earl and wingbacks Michael

Johnson and Harry Davis, who also is a threat as a receiver.

Other contributors on offense will be tight ends Jake Kinsella and Colin O’Brien and fullbacks Josh Parenti and Michael Butler.

“Offensively, we only have a few holes to fill,” Sharp said.

Witt and Furcron will see doubly duty on the defensive line this season, which opens Friday on the road against Providence, the defending Class 7A champion.

The Hilltoppers have five returnees on defense. There’s linebacker Brad Krisch (6-1, 225), a three-year starter; tackle Kenny Aguirre (6-3, 280); end

against Carmel of Mundelein.

St. Viator, Marian Central and Marian Catholic are on the schedule before a rematch with defending ESCC champ Nazareth on Oct. 9 at Memorial Stadium. The Roadrunners return receiver Julian Love, who was the most valuable player in the conference last year.

“There’s five or six teams that could end up winning the conference this year,” Sharp said. “It’s one of those years where it’s a pick ’em.

“We’re very optimistic. I think we could have a pretty special club this year.”

Zach Lukasik (6-2, 225), who also is the team’s kicker, and Luke Phelan and Bill Rotnicki in the secondary.

Also expected to be factors on defense are linebackers Jordan Bates and Keaton Coleman and end Luke Mander.

“I think we’re pretty solid in our first unit,” Sharp said.

“Depth is always an issue. I think it is in today’s game everywhere. You don’t have the number of kids you maybe had 10 to 15 years ago.”

JCA finished 8-3 last year, including a 5A playoff win over St. Laurence and a second-round loss to Montini. The two regular-season defeats

“We lost to some very good football teams,” Sharp said.

“Tough loss to Providence. We lost in the last seconds on a blocked field goal to Nazareth.

“Our young guys grew up a lot. I think that experience of playing in big games, the experience of having 11 games last season, has really helped these young kids. They come in with a little more confidence.”

JOLIET WEST

Becoming legitimate contenders Tigers primed for another playoff run after reaching postseason last year

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – When Joliet West rebounded from a one-sided loss to Homewood-Flossmoor last year to win at Sandburg a week later, the Tigers had their football moment.

“That’s when we knew it was legit,” linebacker Jacob Pullen said. “We knew then we were a team in this conference that wasn’t one of the bottom four.”

H-F and Sandburg, along with Bolingbrook and Lincoln-Way East, usually are among the top four in the SouthWest Suburban Blue, a spot Joliet West slowly rose to after the victory over Sandburg.

“That was a huge win for us, boosted everyone’s confidence,” running back Jakob Coyl said. “In the past, everyone was, ‘Oh, we can’t beat the bigger teams. We have no chance.’ After the Sandburg game, we stepped it up. We can beat whoever we set our mind to beat.”

“That was a program-changer for us,” West coach Jason Aubry said. It also led to the Tigers’ first berth in the state playoffs.

“I think it really set a standard for us as far as what we’ve got to continue to do, day in and day out,” Pullen said of reaching the Class 8A playoffs. “It’s a building block.

Eventually, it’s going to turn into ‘We’ve got to win conference.’ ” Pullen and his teammates have challenging goals for West’s final SouthWest Blue season before the Tigers move

“I believe we have the team here to go 6-3, 7-2,” Pullen said.

“I believe we have a shot at the big three – Bolingbrook, Lincoln-Way East, H-F.’’ “If you walk out on the field knowing you’re going to lose to Bolingbrook, guess what’s going to happen? You’re going to get your butts handed to you,” Aubry said. “But if you go on the field thinking, ‘We’re going to beat this team,’ now

John Patsch for Shaw Media

Receiver John Choate catches a pass during a Joliet West practice. you’ve got a fighting chance.”

West has six returning starters on defense, led by middle linebacker Meekah Ben-Israel (6-foot-3, 245 pounds). The others are linebackers Pullen and Noah Dillon and linemen Patrick Leaf, Noah Dulski and Juan Hernandez.

“Years past, we haven’t really had people to rush the passer,” Pullen said. “The quarterback is sitting back there, guys are getting open.

Now I really feel on the ‘D’ line, we have guys who can get there and mess with the quarterback.”

Lineman Jesse Rhymes, linebacker Drew Smith, safeties Roman Johnson and Marcus Blackmon and cornerbacks Marcus Williams and Cody Norman also are expected to be key contributors on

defense.

Offensively, the returning starters are Coyl, quarterback Alex Tibble and guard Mike Lewis. The line also will include Gabe Venegas, Javier Rueda, Taje Hymon and Jake Tuider.

“I’m a strong inside runner,” Coyl said. “I like to run downhill, tough it out, scrap for yards every run. Head down and go, take the hits.”

Other individuals who will be vital to the offense are running back Juwan McBee and receivers Xavier Smith, Zack Browning, John Choate and Kevon Dorris, a freshman.

“The biggest thing that we have seen the past few years is the culture that has changed at Joliet West,” Aubry said. “We talk about it now an awful lot, our best players are our hard-

est workers.

“Alex Tibble, he is the hardest worker on the offensive side of the ball. Meekah Ben-Israel, our best defensive player, he is the hardest worker on defense.’’

West opens with nonconference road games against Moline and Plainfield South before the conference season.

“I think we’re going to be in the playoffs earlier than we were last year,” Aubry said.

“We’re going to get that fifth win a lot earlier this season.”

The first two conference games are Sept. 11 at home against Lincoln-Way East and Sept. 18 at Bolingbrook.

“That’s the next thing. OK, we beat Sandburg,” Aubry said. “Now, Who are we going to beat this year? That’s their mindset.”

“When, not if, we get that first win, it is a program win,” Boyter said. “These players understand it takes everyone, from the scout team to the players on the field. Everyone has an important role on this team.”

John Patsch for Shaw Media

Joliet Central coach Brett Boyter prepares the Steelmen for the season.

This will be the Steelmen’s last season in the SouthWest Suburban Blue Conference.

Next year they will make the move, along with Joliet West, to the Southwest Prairie.

This season, Central will open on the road at Thornridge, then have the home opener Sept. 4 against Rich South, in the first of two Friday night home games.

“We want to leave the SouthWest Suburban on the rise and build momentum going into the Prairie,” Boyter said. “It will be different in the Southwest Prairie because every game will be a conference match-up.

But right now we are looking forward to this season.”

Offensively, the Steelmen will be led by sophomore Zach Wisneski at the quarterback position, along with four other

returning starters. Defensively, they return five starters.

Wisneski started as a freshman and Boyter said he has shown tremendous improvement over the summer.

Joining Ruiz on the offensive line will be senior Alex Ruettiger at a tackle position.

Ruettiger has started since his sophomore year and, like many of the Steelmen, is a two-way player. He also plays defensive end.

“I’m excited about this season,” Ruettiger said. “We have some really good skilled people on offense and if our line can come together, we could score some points. Getting that win is really important, but we also know that we will not be satisfied with just one. We want to be able to compete in every game we play. The coaches do a

great job of getting us prepared, not only for the season, but for each game.”

Having players who play on both sides of the ball presents its own problems at times.

“Our offensive line is pretty good, but we have to come up with a rotation on both lines,” Boyter said. “That is where we are a work in progress, finding that rotation to keep us a little fresher.”

“Getting a win will be the affirmation to all of these players that hard work does pay off.

The bottom line is about the experience they all have as a high school athlete. They learn that there are no short cuts.

You show up and do your job.

If you continue that with your life, it will all come to fruition someday. We do this together as a team.”

JOLIET – When you watch the Joliet Central football team practice, it’s like chaos, organized chaos, all over the field.

You have coaches teaching, players working and listening, and coach Brett Boyter moving all over the field with words of encouragement.

The Steelmen are 0-45 over their five seasons since the return of separate programs at Joliet Central and Joliet West. You would never know it watching this team at work.

The talk is always the same – practice, play and do everything like champions.

“We are very proud of our players and coaches,” said Boyter, entering his fourth year at the helm. “It’s a testament to our players and the standards that we expect. I’m so happy with how our coaches work together and teach not only the game, but life lessons to the players.”

However, the talk always comes back to the win, just breaking through and being a part of that first victory.

“That first win is important for this program,” senior returning starting offensive guard Sal Ruiz said. “We get that win, more will come out, people will look at this program differently. We have a great group of guys this year.

We are very competitive. We still have a lot of work to do, we are working on everything, but this should be our year.”

Defending Class 7A champion Celtics still have firepower on offense At a glance

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – The scoreboard at Memorial Stadium on the campus of the University of Illinois illuminated the final score of the Class 7A state championship game.

Providence 31, Cary-Grove 28. The “Quest for X,” the Celtics’ 10th state title, was complete.

All-state quarterback Justin Hunniford (North Central), All-American wide receiver Miles Boykin (Notre Dame), tight end Nate Vejvoda (Iowa) and 11 other starters who led the Celtics to the state crown have moved on.

Yet the cupboard is far from empty.

Five state-champion starters, plus place-kicker PJ Kowaokowski, return to spearhead the offensive attack for coach Mark Coglianese. On defense, four starters return for the “Quest for 11,” which begins Friday when Joliet Catholic visits.

“Last season was a special run by a very special group of people that culminated with the state championship,” Coglianese said. “To win the mighty Chicago Catholic League Blue and defeat both St. Rita and Mount Carmel during the regular season, and then on the road in the Class 7A playoffs, made the championship run even more worthwhile.”

So, who will replace Hunniford, who threw for 3,300 yards, 40 touchdowns and three interceptions while running for more than 300 yards and three touchdowns?

“Justin is irreplace-

able,” Coglianese said. “Senior Steve Simowitz and junior Jared Drake both have worked very hard in the offseason and in practice. Simowitz gets the first shot, but

the junior, Drake, will be given a shot. I have confidence in both.”

Simowitz completed 12 of his 18 passes last season for 130 yards and two touch-

downs. He also rushed for 55 yards and one touchdown.

The offense will feature 5-11, 195-pound junior running back Richie Warfield, who rushed for 128 yards and four touchdowns in the state final. He rushed for 838 yards and 12 touchdowns overall and hauled in 35 passes for 317 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran two kickoffs back for touchdowns.

“We’re really looking forward to the challenge of defending our state championship,” Warfield said. “Justin and Miles were special players along with all the other quality seniors on last year’s team.

“We know we will have a target on our backs, but are looking forward to the challenge. Our first goal for the season is to have a great practice today. As the season progresses, our goals will continue. I’m looking forward to taking a larger role this

year.”

The Celtics offensive line returns 6-foot-3, 256-pound Travis Woerner and 6-5, 290-pound Tom Younker, who will move from guard to tackle, to pave the way for Warfield and the Celtics backfield.

Abe Contreras-DeFrias, Blake Labelle, junior Jake Scheeringa and Nick Fleischman will form the rest of the Celtic offensive line. Junior tight end Luke Garwood moves into Vejvoda’s spot.

All-purpose senior Mike Markasovic returns after hauling in 41 passes for 574 yards and two touchdowns.

Markasovic also rushed for 166 yards and two scores and is a strong blocker.

Connor Creed caught 14 passes, three for touchdowns.

He joins junior Martez Malone to form a formidable wide receiver corps.

The Celtics defense will be led by one of the hardest hitters anywhere in 6-2, 220-pound senior linebacker Brendan O’Hara. An all-stater last season, O’Hara plays sideline to sideline.

Nose guard Tyler Schiemann and defensive backs Zach Pych and Nate Griffin also return. However, safety Mike Madej will not return to concentrate on baseball.

Junior defensive lineman Alex Bowler, linebackers Brad Jenner and Danny McDonald and defensive backs Derek Bresingham, Chris Kaminski and Mariano Sori are leading candidates to fill the defensive vacancies. Jackson Dvorak also is in the mix.

“It was great to win the state baseball championship this spring,” O’Hara said. “Winning state in football last fall really showed us what we have to do to win the state championship again.

LINCOLN-WAY CENTRAL

A SENSE OF URGENCY

With new coach, Knights feel playoffs aren’t just the goal, they’re the expectation

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – As the summer went on and his first season as head football coach at Lincoln-Way Central drew closer, Jeremy Cordell saw his team starting to develop a sense of urgency.

“We’ve created that atmos p h e r e where our Schedule kids know that our August: 28 time is – at Huntley, now,” Cor7:15 p.m.; Sept: dell said.

4 – Kaneland, “ W e ’ r e 7:30 p.m.; 11 going to – Lincoln-Way approach West, 7:30 p.m.; every prac18 – at Bradley, tice like it’s 7:30 p.m.; 25 – our last and Thornwood, 7:30 work like p.m.; October: it’s our last.

2 – at Thornridge, “These 7:30 p.m.; 9 – Ankids underdrew, 7:30 p.m.; stand how 16 – Lincoln-Way important North, 7:15 p.m.; this foot23 – at Thornton, ball season 7:30 p.m. is and the impact they can have. Football season is a special time. How they play can change the whole climate of a school.”

Last season, the Knights brought renewed enthusiasm to the school, qualifying for the playoffs for the first time since 2009. Before that drought, Central had made the postseason 15 straight years.

“I love Central and I want to be able to put it back on the map, back to the point where we’re able to make the playoffs 15 years in a row again,” senior offensive and defensive lineman Bryan Ditchman said.

“Last year, making the playoffs was great and this year it’s an expectation. I think everyone is getting on board with that and looking to bring back the culture ofLincoln-Way Central.”

Cordell, who qualified for the playoffs in the past four of his five seasons at the helm of Glenbard South, has made one thing clear to his team: the playoffs aren’t a goal, they’re an ex-

Nico Muto pectation.

“I know the kids understand that we expect to be there,” he said. “We’re focused on week by week, and the goal is to be 1-0 every week. We want to be playing our best football of the season.”

Ditchman, who is committed to Florida International, a NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision program, will be a key factor for the Knights this season.

He’s the team’s only returning starter on offense and one of three on defense.

Ditchman is accustomed to being a leader.

“I think even my freshman year people looked up to me,” he said. “My sophomore year to now, I think I’ve been one of the leaders, vocally, on this team.

The past two years I wasn’t named a captain, but I was a voice on the team that people listened to.

“I make sure everyone’s doing what they’re supposed to.

Discipline is huge. I make sure all the little things that people

don’t always pay attention to are getting done. Getting the little things done leads to the big things.”

Cordell also expects big things from senior quarterback Austin Strilko.

“He’s a good athlete and a good quarterback,” Cordell said. “He already has an offer from [NCAA Division II] Henderson State. I think he’s going to surprise some people this year.”

Strilko is just as big of a fan of Cordell.

“I love our new coach,” he said. “He’s a great guy. He puts us before everything. We’re like his kids. He loves us all and we love playing for him.”

Seniors Nolan Hayes and Ryan Foster figure to be two of Strilko’s favorite targets.

Defensively, junior linebackers Jake Dudeck and Nico Mutowill be keys to a young unit.

Cordell expects a large number of underclassmen to contribute defensively.

Strilko said chemistry will be a major asset.

“In the beginning of the summer, I think we started out rough,” he said. “We weren’t playing together. We weren’t playing for each other. But as the summer went on, we all started playing for each other.

We all love each other. We all want to win as a team. That’s our main goal.

“In the end, it comes down to heart. If someone has better talent than us, it doesn’t really matter. We just need to believe in ourselves.”

LINCOLN-WAY WEST

PUTTING IT ON THE LINE

Warriors’ attack will feature big boys up front, including two Division I linemen

By STEVE MILLAR Shaw Media correspondent NEW LENOX – With most football teams, the spotlight doesn’t shine too brightly on the linemen. At Lincoln-Way West, however, it’s pointed directly at the big men up front.

“Most places, it’s like if you get moved to the offensive line, people get upset,” West coach Dave Ernst said. “Here, we call it a promotion. There’s a lot of pride that those guys take in that group.”

The Warriors have become known for their offensive linemen, producing stars such as Colin McGovern, now at Notre Dame.

The line figures to be the strength of the team once again this season with Justin Witt, a tackle committed to North Carolina State, and Nebraska commit and guard Bryan Brokop leading the way. Also getting D-I looks is 6-foot-5, 310-pound junior Nate Henry.

“Offensive linemen are so important to your team,” Ernst said. “We’ve been really fortunate because we don’t get to go out and get these guys.

We take who comes on the bus, and we’ve been really lucky to have the guys we’ve had.”

Witt said it’s a great experience playing on an offensive line that gets noticed.

“It’s really cool that people talk about our offensive line and people outside the school know about us,” he said. “It’s awesome knowing that we’re all going through the same things with recruiting, getting looks from colleges. And we’re probably the biggest offensive line in the state.”

With the line leading the way, West seems primed for a huge year offensively.

Quarterback Connor Lowman returns after starting as a sophomore last season. Senior running back Gabe Montalvo ran for 1,432 yards last season.

Ernst expects receivers Dylan McHale and Jake Mauney to have big seasons.

“The offense is definitely in a moving forward position

Lincoln-Way West’s Nate Henry pays close attention as O-line coach Dominic DeLuca motions during an agility drill Aug. 18 in New Lenox.

with a junior quarterback in Connor that’s only going to get better and a senior running back in Gabe that’s going to help us out a lot,” Witt said.

Montalvo is determined to have an even bigger season this year.

“I definitely have a lot of

confidence from last year, but I still want to be better,” he said. “I know I can always get better. It’s a motivating factor to try to top last year and just always try to get better and better.

fensive linemen we face will be 10 times smaller than them.

They make things so much easier on me.”

That feeling is mutual.

“It’s easy to block for Gabe,” Witt said. “He makes his own holes and he can run over anybody if you miss a block, so he’s a great running back to block for.”

Tight end Ben Zordani and fullback Tom LaBerry also are returning starters on offense.

Defensively, the Warriors bring back six starters. Ernst is especially high on junior linebacker Trey Telez, who received a Division I offer from Toledo as a sophomore.

Defensive end Dan Wainwright and defensive backs Cam Gavin and Cody Conry are senior leaders on the defense.

“Senior leadership has been great,” Ernst said. “This team

is really a group. The offensive and defensive guys aren’t separated. They hang out together.

They eat lunch together.”

West has had plenty of regular-season success in recent years. Last year, the Warriors went into the playoffs with an 8-1 mark and took out Morgan Park in the first round before falling to Richards, 34-27, in a second-round thriller.

Ernst, however, isn’t concerned with piling up the regular-season victories. He just wants another shot at the postseason.

“Our goal every year is to win five and make the playoffs,” he said. “We might get beat early in the year, but as long as we get to 5-4 and get better every day and make a run in the playoffs, that’s what matters. We’re not worried about going 9-0. We just want to peak at the right time.”

BOYS GOLF

New-look Providence off to fast start

By CURT HERRON

Minooka’s Ryan Johnson watches his shot from the first tee Friday at the 13-team Lemont Invite at Broken Arrow Golf Club in Lockport.

Johnson led the Indians, turning in nines of 38 and 35 to tie for second with a 73.

cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – After graduating four of the six individuals who helped it to a fourthplace finish at last year’s IHSA Class 3A finals, most people probably expected that Providence Catholic’s boys golf team wouldn’t be as strong this season.

But coach John Platt’s Celtics quickly have shown they might be a force to be reckoned with again after bursting out of the gates with three strong tournament performances.

After shooting a 300 to win Friday’s 13-team Lemont Invite at Broken Arrow Golf Club in Lockport by 16 strokes over runner-up Minooka, Providence has similar scores to those from a year ago.

The Celtics fired a 301 to win the St. Laurence Invite on Monday, then had a 305 to finish behind top-ranked Hinsdale Central at Wednesday’s Addison Trail Invite.

Leading the way Friday for Providence was one of the newcomers, sophomore Tyler Roat, who posted nines of 37 and 35 for an even-par 72, which was good for first place.

“Ricky (Costello) has been my mentor so far and helped me with practices,” Roat said.

“This is a great group of guys.

We weren’t expected to be as good as last year, but I think that we can do better. I think that we should be shooting under 300 now.”

Costello, a junior who was on last year’s state squad and qualified for state as a freshman, tied for second place with a 73 after going 38-35. Mike Cascino, the other returnee from a year ago, tied for fifth after putting up nines of 38 and 39 for a 77 total.

Providence also received a 78 from Jack Walsh (40-38), who was tied for ninth. Its other two scores were 80, which were turned in by Ryan Miller (40-40) and Zach Bilotta (39-41).

“I’m really happy, especially with Tyler, who’s really been coming up big for us and has the lowest scoring average on the team,” Costello said. “I think some of us were questioning how we’d do this year.

“It’s nice to have depth again this year, so we should have another good team.”

Ricky Costello Providence junior golfer

It’s nice to have depth again this year, so we should have another good team. We encourage each other, have good team chemistry and are close friends.”

Minooka wasn’t able to finish its first tournament Tuesday at Oswego because of the weather, so this was the first real competition for coach Brian Petrovic’s squad, which graduated eight seniors from a year ago.

Ryan Johnson turned in nines of 38 and 35 to tie for second with a 73, while Dan Anfield took fourth place after going 37-38 to finish with a 75.

Brandon Brodzinski and Mike Klover both shot an 84 to help

“I got off to a rough start, but luckily I shot a 35 on the back nine and got it back together,” Johnson said. “We have a few solid players, and I think that we can make some good scores, so we should be decent.

I think that we’ll do pretty well

throughout the season.”

Plainfield Central and Plainfield North both posted scores of 329 to tie for fourth place, two strokes behind Oswego. Nick Andrews (36-41) paced the Wildcats, while Pat Butler (38-39) led the Tigers.

They also both tied for fifth

place overall.

Central also received an 82 from Frank Andrews, while Matt Hardin and Jake Hawkins each shot an 85.

Also for North, Gavin Doyle posted an 83, Nate Kirberg finished with an 84 and Sean Rooney turned in an 85.

Morris and Glenbard South tied for sixth place with a 340 total, while the host Indians were next best with a 343 effort.

Returning state qualifier Nick McPherson led Morris with two nines of 39 for a 78 total, which tied him for ninth, while teammate Nick Bonomo added an 85.

Lemont was paced by one of its returnees from last year’s team that qualified for state.

Ray Sullivan tied for fifth with a 77 after posting nines of 3938. Also for the Indians, Jack Lund added an 85.

Joliet Township finished with a 356, with Mark Boykin leading the way with an 84.

And Joliet Catholic had a 360 total, with Jake Pluth shooting an 82 and Wally Osterberger turning in an 86.

PREP FOOTBALL

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, August 23, 2015

MORRIS – It was a little more than just a practice Friday night when the Morris football team took the field for a scrimmage. Coach Alan Thorson could tell.

“I was really happy with the intensity tonight,” Thorson said after his team was put through the paces of all three phases of the game. “The kids were moving at full speed, and we saw some good things.”

The practice began with the Redskins working on special teams, as they practiced their kickoff coverage, kickoff returns, punts and punt returns before moving on to extra points and field goals. Keagan Sobol handled the kickoff and punting duties, while Diego Luna and Dallas Hastings took turns kicking balls through the uprights on kicks from placement.

“It’s a nice thing to have one of your starting linebackers be your safety on special teams,” Thorson said. “Keagan might have set a record for special teams tackles tonight.”

After the special teams’ work was finished, the firstteam offense took the field against the scout offense, which was running an offense similar to what the defense will see in Friday’s season opener against Chicago Austin. The defense was stingy, allowing only one touchdown in the waning seconds of the 20-minute period.

If that period was any indication of how the season will play out, fans will need to have a roster handy, with the Redskins deploying various running backs.

The first drive for the offense featured big chunks of yards gained on runs by Michael Feeney, Sobol and Tommy Balentine and a successful screen pass to Jake Webb.

Quarterback Nathan Guth finished the drive with a scoring run of about 15 yards. The next drive featured a couple of big runs by Michael Gerischer before a touchdown pass from Ricky Del Favero to Balentine. The next drive produced

a touchdown run of nearly 80 yards by Joe Webb.

“We have a lot of guys that can run the ball well,” Thorson said. “We didn’t get too fancy with anything we ran tonight, but we executed well.

I was also real happy with how the offensive line played. That was kind of a concern with a couple of sophomores in there, but they didn’t play like sophomores. They play like varsity players, which is what they are. “[Assistant] Coaches [John] Wodziak and [Keith] Anderson do a real good job with our linemen, and those guys looked good out there tonight.”

The scrimmage was a little different from most practices

Morris running back Joe Webb (right) pulls away from the defense en route to a long touchdown run in Friday’s scrimmage. in that there were referees on the field, calling the plays as they would in a regular game.

As expected early in the season, there were a few flags, but the officials took time after the play to let the players know why the flag was thrown. After the scrimmage was over, the group of officials addressed

the team to go over what they saw.

One of the officials went over which rules will be more heavily enforced this season, such as leading with the crown of the helmet and uniform infractions. If a player is discovered to have a pad missing from his uniform, it will be a

15-yard personal foul on the head coach. If another infraction occurs, it will be another personal foul on the coach, resulting in him being ejected from that game and unable to be on the sideline for the next one. This rule was put in place in order to ensure that all players are properly protected at all times.

Another official stepped forward and told the team of the importance of listening to their coaches and to the officials. All are there to protect the players. The players were informed they are students first, and maintaining their grades is the most important thing.

“It’s good to have the officials here,” Thorson said.

“We had some penalties, but they are all things that can get cleaned up. Overall, I thought we had a real good practice, and the most important thing is that we came out of it healthy. We’re excited to get it going for real next week.”

Allie Quigley camp for girls set for Labor Day SUBMITTED REPORTS

JOLIET – Reigning WNBA Sixth Woman of the Year Allie Quigley is returning home to Joliet to run a one-day girls basketball camp with the coaching staffs and players from Joliet Catholic Academy and University of St. Francis.

The camp is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Labor Day – Sept. 7 – in the JCA Student

Activity Center. Campers will receive instruction, an Allie Quigley “Angels and Saints” Basketball Camp T-shirt and a post-camp autograph session.

People can visit jca-online. com for information and for a registration form.

Quigley, a 2004 JCA graduate, starred at DePaul and is in her eighth professional season, playing both in the WNBA for her hometown Chi-

cago Sky and spending her winters overseas competing in the Euroleague. Quigley will play in Istanbul, Turkey, for Fenerbahce Sports Club during the 2015-16 season, after the conclusion of the WNBA season.

JCA girls coach Kenny Battle, a former star forward at the University of Illinois and in the NBA, also will be on hand. Battle heads an Angels’

program that has gone 48-12 over the past two seasons with a Class 3A runner-up finish in 2014.

Joining Battle and Quigley providing camp instruction will be Allie’s sister, Samantha Quigley, the coach at St. Francis. The former JCA and DePaul star recently served as an assistant coach for the USA Basketball Women’s U16 Team that won a bronze

medal at the 2015 FIBA Americas Championship in Puebla, Mexico.

Quigley’s Saints went 17-15 in 2014-15, capturing the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference South title with a 12-5 conference record.

The camp is designed with an emphasis on skill development in all facets of basketball.

Players from JCA and USF also will assist in instruction.

Lincoln-Way Central’s Grace Curran watches the flight of her shot from the seventh tee Saturday at the Joliet Township Invite at Woodruff Golf Course in Joliet. Curran shot a 40-43 for an 83 total, which was good for a ninth-place tie. since the distances are a lot shorter than what I’ve played, so I’ve had drivable greens and easier birdies.

“And our team has started really good. Everyone on our team strives to do better, and you can tell that they want it so bad this year. I’m proud of them for working so hard.”

Curran, the daughter of Knights boys basketball coach Bob Curran, is excited about not only her start but also the good beginning for her squad.

“I’ve shot pretty well in the first two tournaments,” Curran said. “Today was kind of a rough day. I did decent on the front, but I was trying to pick it up on the back. All of the girls on the team really bond together well, and we’re really good friends. I like that we can all have fun together but still play good golf. So I’m

“I was going for a birdie every time, but I had some bogey holes, and I was OK with that. ” Brianne Bolden Lincoln-Way Central freshman golfer excited for whatever else is in store for us.”

Besides Curran’s round of 83, the Knights also received a 92 from senior Madeline Karlson (43-49) and a 94 from junior Hanah Mastandrea (4549). Sophomore Sarah Scheer didn’t score with a 97, but that was still among the best totals from local players.

“I think what’s keeping the team motivated is to lose out on second place by two

strokes on Monday and miss third place by one stroke today,” Shannon said. “It shows them we’re close to getting that much better. We constantly talk about how you’re going to have your bad holes, but it’s how you bounce back.

“Brianne loves being able to play against the best players, and all of her IJGA tournaments have prepared her for this. Playing against her brothers has made her so mentally tough.”

Lincoln-Way West (398) took seventh, and Plainfield North (420) was 10th. Plainfield South (439), Joliet Township (466) and Joliet Catholic (472) placed 12th through 14th.

JOLIET – Brianne Bolden and Grace Curran are just getting started in their high school golf careers, but someone might not know that based on how the Lincoln-Way Central freshmen performed in their first tournaments.

Bolden has a title and runner-up showing, while Curran twice has been among the top 12 finishers in the competitions, which featured at least 15 teams.

The Knights had planned to be in the Midlothian Country Club Challenge on Saturday, but when that event was canceled, athletic director Jason Helbling entered them in the 15-team Joliet Township Invite at Woodruff Golf Course instead, and the move paid off for coach Brian Shannon’s squad.

Bolden combined nines of 35 and 33 to post a 1-over-par 68 to claim top honors in the event by three strokes over Carl Sandburg’s Emilyee McGiles. Curran shot a 40-43 for an 83 total, which was good for a ninth-place tie.

Central finished with a 337 total, which was one stroke behind third-place Naperville North. Sandburg defeated Downers Grove North, 314329, for the championship.

In Monday’s season-opening tournament at Marian Catholic, the Knights took third with a 326, finishing behind Naperville North (310) and Downers North (324).

Bolden fired an even-par 71 to place second, while Curran was even through nine and settled for a 76.

Bolden’s brother, Anthony, is a senior at Central who played in the U.S. Junior Amateur this summer.

Her older brother, Bryant, competes at Central Connecticut State.

“I thought that my day went pretty good,” Bolden said. “I was going for a birdie every time, but I had some bogey holes, and I was OK with that. I’ve been playing pretty good and am sort of in a rhythm right now. The transition has been pretty easy

CUBS 9, BRAVES 7

Montero, Soler homer 30 YEARS OF PROVEN in 8th, Cubs top Braves WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS!

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The Cubs cashed in on one of the breezy quirks of their home ballpark Saturday.

Miguel Montero and Jorge Soler broke a tie with backto-back solo homers to start the eighth inning, and the Cubs overcame homers from both sides of the plate by Nick Swisher in a 9-7, comeback win against the Atlanta Braves – their third straight.

Montero and Soler both lofted balls into the left field basket off former Cub Edwin Jackson (2-2), sending Atlanta to its sixth straight loss.

A steady southeast wind was blowing across Wrigley Field from the right field corner to left. It helped both teams, but aided the Cubs – who also got homers from Anthony Rizzo and Addison Russell – a little more.

“I’m not going to try to qualify the homers,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “They’re homers – that’s the way the ballpark plays. You’ve got to hit it, too.”

“This (left) side of the ballpark was playing one way today, and this (right) side was playing another way.”

Wind wasn’t the only good fortune going for Montero as he put the Cubs up, 8-7, with his homer. Even though Montero caught Jackson earlier this year when the righthander was a Cub, it wasn’t an advantage.

“Today, I didn’t really see the ball well,” Montero said.

“I was really lucky that ball found my barrel.”

“It just happened. Actually, I was trying to protect with two strikes and, boom, there it is.”

Swisher homered from both sides of the plate in the same game for a record-tying 14th time to drive in four runs.

He made his first start since last Monday, playing left field.

“The bats kind of came alive tonight,” Swisher said.

“It’s just a tough loss, man.

Haven’t been going well for us as of late.

“Individually I guess it was

Batting left-handed, Swisher lofted a wind-blown, tworun shot to left off Cubs starter Dan Haren in the second. Hitting right-handed against Travis Wood, he lined a two-run blast to left to cap a five-run rally that put Atlanta ahead, 7-3, in the fifth.

He tied the Yankees’ Mark Teixeira, who homered rightand left-handed most recently in a game on July 31 against the White Sox. Swisher was acquired from Cleveland on Aug. 7.

“Tex beat my record earlier,” Swisher said. “I had to catch up to him again. I guess it’s just one of those lucky things. Swing hard in case you hit it, I guess.”

Russell hit a solo shot in the sixth to tie the game at 7.

The homer withstood a video review after a fan reached over the wall trying to catch the ball.

Rizzo had two RBIs, Dexter Fowler had three hits, including a triple, and Kris Bryant knocked in two runs with a double.

The Cubs bounced back after Atlanta’s five-run fifth with three runs in the bottom of the inning – capped by an RBI double by Montero – to cut it to 7-6.

Joey Logano defends Bristol victory to hold off Gibbs drivers

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press BRISTOL, Tenn. – Joey Logano spoiled what was expected to be a rout by Joe Gibbs Racing at Bristol Motor Speedway.

Logano won the Bristol night race for the second straight year, grabbing the lead on the final restart Saturday night when he zipped past Team Penske teammate Brad Keselowski. He had to hold off a handful of challenges from Kevin Harvick, but ultimately cruised to his third win of the year.

Logano has won on a superspeedway in the Daytona 500, on the road course at Watkins Glen and now Bristol’s short track. He has won twice this month as he readies for the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

There are two more races before the playoffs begin.

“We are hitting it at the right time, that’s for sure,” Logano said. “I feel like we are right where we need to be.

I can’t wait for the Chase to start.”

Logano led 176 laps, second only to JGR driver Kyle Busch,

Joey Logano leads a group of cars during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Saturday in Bristol, Tenn. who led a race-high 192 laps.

Harvick finished second for the 10th time this season. The reigning Sprint Cup champion has a career-best 17 top-five finishes this year and had his 250th career top-10 finish in 526 starts.

Many believed JGR would pick up its 10th win of the season, particularly after Denny Hamlin, Busch and Carl Edwards swept the top three spots in qualifying. Then Busch won Friday night’s Xfinity Series race.

Although Busch dominated early, he had faded a bit as the laps clicked off. Then he was

But Clausen made amends in the third quarter.

“Damn,” Edwards said on his radio. “All right, we’ll still get this. We’ve got a good car.”

He finished seventh.

Matt Kenseth, the winner for JGR in the spring race at the track, had no chance to sweep the season. An engine issue 177 laps into the race ended his night. He finished 42nd and said he had no warning that his engine was faulty.

“They never warn you, it would be cool if they would send you a text or something,” Kenseth said. “It broke in the middle of the straightaway — it had that hop and that noise that it makes when you know you dropped a valve.

That left Hamlin to carry the banner for JGR. He finished a team-best third, but said he just didn’t have the same speed as Logano and Harvick. Asked if had expected to see JGR and Toyota celebrating once again, he noted that practicing in the day at Bristol doesn’t always translate to the night race.

INDIANAPOLIS – Jimmy Clausen’s two second-half touchdown drives trumped Jay Cutler’s three first-half fieldgoal drives Saturday night.

The Bears’ backup quarterback threw a 12-yard touchdown pass to Joshua Bellamy to give them the lead midway through the third quarter, then took advantage of a Colts turnover to lead the Bears to another TD and a 23-11 preseason victory.

First-year coach John Fox has won his first two preseason games, although this was hardly a beauty.

The Bears finished with seven penalties, one turnover and were 3 of 12 on third-down chances. Plus, Cutler got his team inside the Colts 10-yard line twice before mistakes forced the Bears to settle for field goals.

For the Colts, it was another dismal exhibition game.

Indy has lost seven straight since winning in the preseason on Aug. 24, 2013, against Cleveland. It also has lost five straight to the Bears in August, dating to a win in 1995.

And that wasn’t even the worst part.

ANHATTAN – On July 31, after 49 years, 10 months and 3 days of teaching, Gene Gear instructed his last flight student.

Gear’s instructor’s license expired at midnight July 31, said Gear’s son, Tim Gear of Coal City. However, Gene Gear, 91, of Manhattan, is still a private and commercial pilot – he recently completed his biannual review – and has no intention of stopping anytime soon.

“The view from the air – it’s fresh up there,” Gene Gear said. “Every day brings something. Clouds are different. No two days are alike.

The fun is being with people that are having fun; that makes it more fun.”

Bob Bentley of J.F. Aviation, a flight school inside the Joliet Regional Airport, has known Gear more than 25 years. Bentley called Gear an excellent pilot and one of the best flight instructors he has ever seen.

“He just had a way about him that made everyone comfortable,” Bentley said.

“Every student here was a very good pilot when he got done with them. He was one of those people where every day was a good day. I never saw the man down, which helps when you’re dealing with people.”

“Some people get killed for not believing the instruments,” Tim said.

Gene Gear said he wasn’t nervous.

“I taught him how to fly,” Gear said.

Propagating a legacy

At home in the sky

Gear prefers flying to driving – “No stoplights in the sky; no one in your way,” he said – and people who are afraid to fly don’t get in his plane. In addition to Gear’s skill and confidence, one precept was paramount to safety.

“If I didn’t like the weather, I wouldn’t go,” Gear said.

Tim Gear recalled an eight-hour round trip to Canada in weather so bad, he could only see the instruments. He was 12 when his dad taught him to fly – with Tim sitting on a pillow so he

could see the instruments – and he likened that Canada trip to playing a life-or-death video game.

During that flight, Gear was beside Tim, reminding him not to be fooled by

Gene Gear remembers being 5 and accompanying his father, Crawford, to the Joliet Regional Airport, watching his dad hand-prop an old biplane and sitting on the roof in the former observation deck.

At 17, Gear began flying with a flight instructor in a Piper J-3 Cub. A few weeks later, Gear said he took his first solo flight and landed in the grass because the Joliet

Regional Airport did not yet have a surface runway.

Even then, flying was fun and exciting.

“It was a challenge,” Gear said. “Anything that’s a challenge is exciting.”

At 18, Gear said he quit the former Joliet Catholic High School to join the U.S. Navy, where he drew flight pay in his role as a meteorologist – a one-man aerological unit.

Gear said the high school’s principal promised him a diploma if he passed Navy school. Gear didn’t go back for it until many years later, when he was studying for a real estate license and needed his diploma.

“Sure enough, it was there waiting for me,” Gear said.

In 1962, Gear said he turned part of his New Lenox farm into an airport, so he could he teach there, which he did starting in 1965. Gear leased the remaining farm portion of his land to another farmer.

“We had a plane in our backyard,” said Gene’s daughter, Penny Egly of New Lenox. “To us, it was like having a car in the garage.”

Within two years of teaching, Gear said 52 pilots had their licenses. Gear estimated that over the years, he taught 500 people to fly. Gear said he closed his airport in the mid1970s, around the time New Lenox had some discussion about starting an airstrip subdivision.

Without his own airport, Gear then began using other local airports in Frankfort and New Lenox and then finally returned to Joliet in 1988, where he has remained since.

“He’s slowing down a little bit,” Tim said, “but I don’t think he’ll ever quit flying.”

Rialto foundation bestows Mavrich awards The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – The Rialto Square Theatre Foundation presented Dorothy Mavrich Awards to local businesses and individuals Aug. 11 during its annual dinner at the Rialto Square Theatre.

The award was created to honor Dorothy Mavrich and her lifelong commitment of volunteerism and philanthropy to the Rialto Square Theatre and its mission. Mavrich was instrumental in saving the Rialto from the wrecking ball in the late 1970s and led a coalition to raise funds for the Rialto’s major restoration.

“The Rialto is fortunate to have supporters who make the Rialto Square Theatre better with their generous contributions and individuals who are committed patrons and donors,” Tricia Simpson, president of the Rialto Square Theatre Foundation Board, said in the news release. “Dorothy Mavrich set a very high standard and these award winners are carrying on her legacy.”

The winners were nominated and selected by the Board of Directors of the Rialto Square Theatre Foundation in recognition of their longterm, significant support of the theater.

The Dorothy Mavrich award recipients were: • Large Corporation: The Kozol Brothers have for nearly a decade supported the Rial-

to’s programming by sponsoring the Miller Light Concert Series. In addition, Ed Kozol has supported the Rialto personally as a S.T.A.R. member and his employees have been involved in many of the Rialto’s events and fundraising efforts.

• Small Business: Barton Carroll’s has for more than a decade been a continued supporter of the Rialto through in-kind equipment contributions and monetary donations. Barry Norcross and the Barton Carroll company have supported the Rialto with equipment for the green room and production areas critical to the ability to meet contractual requirements for those who perform at the Rialto. Norcross also has provided unsolicited monetary gifts to the Rialto throughout the years.

• Individual: Ann Ferro has consistently provided support to the Rialto through the donation of her time and creative talents, especially to Festival of Trees. She has sponsored a tree annually. She represents a part of the general public who come to the Rialto not just as an audience member but also as a community member with a commitment to the theater, its programs and its mission.

• Special Award: Tom Carey, an attorney, became acquainted with Dorothy Mavrich, and then, with Mavrich’s inspiration, began representing the then Joliet Metropolitan Exposition and Auditorium Authority in its infancy. He continues to represent, pro bono, the Authority to the present day. The Authority has been his pro bono project for more than 20 years.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Read the lead to guide the play

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Friedrich von Schlegel, a German writer and critic who died in 1829, said, “A critic is a reader who ruminates. Thus, he should have more than one stomach.”

He was also a comedian, apparently. A top bridge player needs to be a reader of both the bidding – his side’s and the opponents’ -- and the cards played. In this deal, the card-reading starts at the first trick.

How should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the heart nine?

North’s two no-trump was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, showing at least game values with four or more spades and, typically, no singleton or void (else North would have made a splinter bid). South’s four-spade rebid was his weakest action.

There is a risk that declarer will lose one spade, two hearts and one club. But what does the heart nine signify?

It is top of nothing. East must have the heart ace-jack. If that is so, declarer can freeze the suit momentarily by playing dummy’s queen. East wins with the ace, but cannot return a heart without conceding a trick in the suit. South wins East’s diamond-queen shift with his ace, draws two rounds of trumps, then drives out the club ace. This establishes a discard for his heart loser.

Note that if declarer plays the heart 10 at trick one, he should go down. East covers with his jack to drive out South’s king.

Then, when West gets in with his club ace, a second heart lead gives the defenders two tricks in the suit, along with the spade queen and club ace.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff circles and bags. They act as astringents, causing the loose skin beneath your eyes to tighten.

These home remedies include putting any of the following on your eyes: wet, cool tea bags, cucumber slices, or cotton balls dipped in rose water.

None of these have been scientifically proven. On the other hand, they won’t cause any harm.

Other treatments make more sense to me.

Again, there are no rigorous scientific studies to support (or refute) them. But they are good ideas even if you’re not bothered by puffy eyes and dark circles. They include: • Getting unstuffed.

Treating a sinus problem or allergies may improve how you look.

• Limiting salt intake.

This might reduce fluid retention.

• Using sunscreen. The delicate skin under the eye is particularly vulnerable to the sun’s rays.

Makeup and various creams and ointments can also help. If you’re really bothered by your appearance, cosmetic surgeries, including bleaching and laser treatments, are an option.

I’m not saying that insufficient sleep, or poor quality sleep, won’t affect your appearance. We all recognize the “look” of exhaustion.

Facial expressions are less animated, more sluggish. The mouth and cheeks sag. You become pale. But dark circles and bags under your eyes generally have other causes.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at askdoctork.com, or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

• Sunday, August 23, 2015

Dear Dr. K: I have dark circles and bags under my eyes. Does this mean I’m not getting enough sleep?

Dear Reader: Lack of sleep probably has nothing to do with the dark circles and bags under your eyes. In fact, getting too much sleep is more likely than too little to cause this appearance.

That’s because when you’re sitting or standing up, gravity tends to pull excess fluid in your body downward toward and into your belly and legs.

Conversely, if you have been lying flat in bed for a long time, fluid in your body tends to flow toward your face. It accumulates in the loose skin below your eyes.

Lying down also makes the veins under the eyes widen, which darkens the appearance of the skin even more.

Here are some other reasons why your eyes might be darker and puffier than usual: • You’re getting older.

As you age, the skin around the eye gets thinner and looser. This allows fluid to collect, causing a puffy appearance. Veins under the skin can create a dark appearance.

• You have allergies or nasal congestion. The veins under the eyes drain into the nose. Nasal congestion or allergies can block this drainage, causing the veins to widen. Dark circles are so common with allergies that they’re sometimes called “allergic shiners.”

• You’re retaining fluid. Anything that causes fluid retention, such as premenstrual bloating or excessive salt intake, could increase puffiness around the eyes.

• You have a medication side effect. If your puffy eyes started right after you began a new medication, the drug might be the cause.

Many home remedies claim to get rid of dark

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips you have any advice to help me save my sanity on this one? – Under Surveil-

lance in North Carolina Dear Under Surveillance:

Yes, either get a credit card in your name only or put aside some cash to spend on surprise gifts for these special occasions.

Dear Abby: I met a man online who lives out of state. We seem to have a lot in common. I have relatives near his home and plan to move to that state in the future. He has two daughters, ages 22 and 24. The 24-year-old, who is married, just graduated from college. He flew back east to attend the graduation.

He has told me several times how much he likes my long hair. When he called me from back east, he said how happy he was that he got to brush his daughter’s hair! I thought it was odd and mentioned it to a few friends – male and female – who said they thought so, too. What’s your opinion? I’m uncomfortable about what he did.

– Uneasy Out West Dear Uneasy: I agree that it’s unusual for a father to be brushing his adult daughter’s hair. However, not knowing the man, I can’t say for certain whether or not his affinity for your long hair is a fetish. Because you found his comment off-putting, discuss it with him in a nonconfrontational way to learn more before making any judgments.

• Write to Dear Abby at www.dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

Pearls Before Swine

Dear Abby: I am a lesbian, still in high school, who has not yet come out to any friends or family. I want them to know, but I’m afraid to tell them.

I’m pretty sure this is who I am, and I don’t want them to dismiss my identity. I also don’t want them to think of me differently – I want to be the same person in their eyes as I was before I came out.

They aren’t homophobic to my knowledge, but I feel “stuck.”

I have fairly bad social anxiety, so it’s difficult for me to say anything. I’d be grateful for any advice you have. – Hiding In Colorado Dear Hiding: I suggest you first deal with your social anxiety (a counselor can help you with this) because it may make it easier for you to come out when you finally decide to do it. Until you are secure in yourself about who you are, I think you should wait to announce your sexual orientation to other people.

Dear Abby: I am totally frustrated. My wife has implemented alerts on our credit cards, bank accounts and debit card accounts to a point that I can’t buy surprise gifts for her birthday, our anniversary, Valentine’s Day, etc., without receiving a text from her almost immediately asking if I charged something to a specific store.

Do you think this is a control obsession, or is she just overly cautious? Every time I try to discuss this with her, she says she’s trying to make sure we are not hacked, etc. I want to be able to buy her things and create the element of surprise.

I would love some financial privacy at special times. Other than this, I have nothing to hide. Do

HOROSCOPE TODAY – It’s never too late to start over. You can reach the top of your profession by learning about changing trends and implementing new methods. Make education an ongoing process that challenges your mind. Travel will introduce you to someone who will impact your future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – If you have been too outspoken, make apologies. Remarks told in confidence will become known if you are indiscreet.

Consider the consequence of your words and actions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Call someone you haven’t spoken to in a while. A reunion with old friends will be sure to bring back happy memories and encourage you to reconsider an unmet goal.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t get down-

hearted if your progress has been slow. Dedication and hard work will ensure that you reach your objectives, but patience and a positive attitude will be necessary.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You will be in the mood to party, but overindulgence and overspending must be curbed. Moderation is key, and boundaries must be set. Nothing kills a good mood faster than suddenly going into debt.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Someone you know will face difficulties and need your help. Your kindness and consideration will be appreciated and rewarded in an unusual and unexpected, yet quite felicitous, manner.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Love and romance are in a high cycle. Do something nice for your

loved one, or if you are single, participate in social or community events in order to meet someone special.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Loss and confusion are apparent. Keep your money and assets in a safe place at all times. Don’t let down your guard or become distracted. Be especially wary when traveling.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Remember what your goals were and consider if they still hold relevance for you. You can make extra cash by reviving one of your more promising concepts or talents.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You will be short-tempered today, so find a solitary pastime to keep you from saying or doing something you will regret. Don’t share your opinion; it could damage

a relationship.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Live it up. New acquaintances will be blown away by your irresistible, fun-loving attitude. You will meet someone enticing if you are willing to try something different.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Neglecting minor health issues is a mistake. Deal with ailments before they escalate into more serious problems.

Keep an eye on your budget. Financial difficulties will develop.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Good fortune is smiling on you today. Love, romance and social events will be stimulating and energizing. Make the most of your good mood by getting out and enjoying yourself.
