LOCAL BRIEF

Police seek information in Sunday morning slaying

Housing Authority to celebrate 70 years

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspect in an ambush early Sunday that left a man dead and a woman wounded.

“Investigators spoke with many people who were out in the area, but nobody saw anything,” Deputy Chief Al Roechner said Monday. “We are hoping anyone with information will contact us.”

Police were called about 1:20 p.m. to the 1400 block of Englewood Avenue where Sjontre Thompson, 22, and a 28-year-old woman had been shot inside a silver Chevrolet Cruze.

Thompson was struck in the chest and through both legs, according to police. He was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox and pronounced dead at 2:11 a.m., the Will County Coroner’s Office reported.

The driver, who identified

herself to police as Thompson’s cousin, was shot in the right thigh. Roechner said she remained hospitalized Monday but is expected to recover.

Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives at 815-724-3020 or anonymously call Crime Stoppers at 800-323-6734. Crime Stoppers offers rewards of up to $5,000 for information leading to an arrest.

Thompson’s death is the city’s fourth homicide of 2015.

Michael C. Brock, 24, was found shot and run over Jan. 10 in an alley behind the 500 block of South Ottawa Street and Jourdyn J. Williamson, 20, was fatally shot March 10 while riding in a car in the 100 block of Mississippi Avenue. No arrests have been made in either case.

Mohammad Eid, 24, was killed during a robbery Jan. 19 at the Gardner Food Mart, where he was a clerk. Eid returned fire with his own weapon and killed the sus-

pect, Troy A. Norris, authorities said.

On Friday, Shador M. Jenkins, 28, was fatally shot during an argument after he rushed at Dwayne L. Johnson, 22, while holding a steak knife, Roechner said.

Johnson shot J e n k i n s i n Dwayne L. the head and Johnson a 23-year-old man in the hand during the confrontation in the 400 block of Wallace Street, police said. He is being held in the Will County jail on a $500,000 bond on a single charge of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon.

“We are still reviewing the incident with police and it remains under investigation,” Will County State’s Attorney spokesman Charles Pelkie said Monday.

Roechner said police do not believe the weekend shootings are related.

Police seeking Joliet man charged in dog’s July 7 firecracker death

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man accused of destroying a dog with a firecracker is being sought for arrest again.

Judge Daniel Rozak issued a warrant for the arrest of Nicholas A. Garcia, 24, af- Nicholas ter authorities A. Garcia said he failed a court-ordered drug screening Monday morning. The warrant carries a $100,000 bond; Garcia was not in police custody as of 2 p.m., according to jail records.

On Aug. 17 Garcia’s bail

was raised from $50,000 to $75,000 after his second fireworks-related arrest in the last month. He also is facing delivery of marijuana charges from an April 2014 arrest. The $100,000 amount set Monday would cover each of those cases, court records state.

On July 7, police said Garcia and another man were in the alley of the 200 block of East Jackson Street lighting quarter sticks and throwing them in a neighbor’s yard. A dog named America picked one up, and it blew off the animal’s jaw. The pit bull had to be euthanized because of its injuries.

Garcia turned himself in to police July 24 on a felony charge of criminal damage to

property.

The Will County State’s Attorney’s Office filed the strongest felony charge possible under Illinois law based on evidence obtained by police and prosecutors, according to a written statement from the office. If convicted, Garcia faces up to six years in prison and a fine of up to $25,000.

At 6:22 p.m. Aug. 7, Garcia was stopped by Joliet police for reportedly ignoring a stop sign at Taylor and Center streets, then failing to signal a turn at Bridge Street.

Police found three bags of marijuana in the center console and a mortar and two packages of “Nitro Bombs” while searching the vehicle.

JOLIET – The Housing Authority of Joliet will have a 70th anniversary celebration Sept. 10.

The event will include an auction and live music. It will start at 5:30 p.m. at Patrick Haley Mansion, 17 S. Center St., Joliet.

“It’s a celebration of some historical value,” said the authority’s chief executive officer, Michael Simelton. “We’re talking about the Housing Authority of Joliet providing affordable housing in Joliet and Will County for 70 years.”

Tickets for the event are $50.

It will start with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres at 5:30 p.m. A presentation and auction will begin at 6:30 p.m. Entertainment from the Together Band will take place from 8 to 10 p.m.

For tickets or information, contact Lisa Johnson at 815-823-8400 or ljohnson@ hajoliet.org.

Joliet program has grown in size during the past eight years

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – Peter Lipari waved his baton and kept the focus of his young orchestra at Joliet West High School on him as they rehearsed Monday.

“Look up here, look up here,” he said to his students.

After finishing one piece, Lipari, their maestro, counted back from 10 as the students quickly changed music sheets.

By the time he gets down to one, they’re ready to jump into the next piece.

“You do a lot of fast things,” said Mario Scarcelli, senior student and violin player for the Joliet Township High School Orchestras. “You really have to watch exactly where your fingers go.”

Scarcelli and dozens of other students rehearsing Monday night were not only preparing for yet another school year but the 110th anniversary of the JTHS Orchestras, the oldest organization at the high school district. The program has grown in the past eight years, from 63 students at the West and Central campuses to 180, Lipari said.

“In times when music programs that are as expensive as orchestra is, to have it in the program, to have it all the way through the feeder schools is really magic,” Lipari said to a group of parents and students after rehearsal. “You should be grateful as parents to have a Joliet community who supports that.”

Two pieces were commissioned to celebrate the 110th anniversary and one of them was unveiled Monday. Lipari kept the piece, written by Richard Meyer, an international composer based in California, inside an envelope for about two weeks before revealing it to students and parents.

The piece is called “Stone and Steel,” which is a modern concert overture that “treats listener and performer to a

myriad of styles and moods,” Lipari said.

The stone in the title comes from Joliet’s nickname as the City of Stone in the early

1800s, until it was given another nickname, the City of Steel, with the construction of a steel mill.

It isn’t always easy or cheap

for parents to have their children participate in orchestra, said Sandra Becker, Orchestra Parents Association president, who spoke after the rehearsal.

It’s a huge undertaking with “a lot of sacrifice,” she said.”

But nothing is more rewarding and pleasing for parents to hear than music from their child, she said.

“It is magical to hear such a large group of you play together in harmony,” she said.

Students in the orchestras have toured around the country, visiting places, such as New York City, Dallas and Boston, according to the JTHS website.

Lipari said the JTHS Orchestras – composed of JTHS strings, philharmonia and symphony orchestra – are like a family and a club. It’s not just an activity, he said.

Raquel Kile, senior student and violin player, echoed this sentiment.

“To me, it’s kind of like one big family. ... You come here and you feel like you know everybody,” she said.

Park board hires law firm for investigation Egizio on leave

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Park District board President Glen Marcum said Monday that an investigation is taking place concerning the district’s top executive officer, saying more than any p a r k o f f i c i a l Dominic has since Domi- Egizio nic Egizio went off the job last week.

The board voted Monday to hire as special counsel a law firm that specializes in representing governmental bodies in litigation, while also formally approving paid administrative leave for Egizio.

Egizio was never referred to by name during Monday evening’s meeting, but Mar-

cum made it clear in a prepared statement the investigation concerns the executive director.

Sources have said Egizio went on administrative leave after the park board learned of threatened litigation concerning Egizio and a park district employee.

The board also approved Matt Pehle, the park district finance director, as interim executive director.

Asked how long he expected Pehle to serve in the interim position, Marcum said, “Until the investigation is closed.”

The votes were made without comment by the park district’s board.

But after Pehle was appointed, Marcum read from a prepared statement.

“We understand that the press would like more information to report to the public in regards to the status of the chief executive officer,”

“We need to not only protect the integrity of the investigation but also respect the privacy of our employees, so we cannot publicly speak at this time about this matter.”

Glen Marcum Joliet Park District board president

he said. “However, this is a pending matter under investigation. We need to not only protect the integrity of the investigation, but also respect the privacy of our employees, so we cannot publicly speak at this time about this matter.”

Later in the meeting, the board without comment voted to hire The Sotos Law Firm as special counsel.

Asked later why the firm was hired, Marcum said, “They’re investigating a personnel issue.”

The website for the Itasca-based Sotos Law Firm emphasizes its experience in representing governmental agencies and private companies in state and federal litigation.

“With more than 60 years of experience defending Illinois government entities, public officials and police officers, we have developed a solid reputation as the go-to law firm for municipalities and government officials who have been accused of violating the law,” the website states.

The firm also conducts internal investigations in cases of employees being accused of misconduct.

The board met in closed session on an agenda item that included the consideration of discipline or dismissal of specific employees, “a complaint

Marcum announced before the closed session that action could be taken afterward. But the board later adjourned without taking action.

Pehle said he did not know how long he would be serving in the role of interim executive director.

He has been with the park district for 2½ years. He previously had been an accountant with Sikich, a Naperville-based accounting firm, where Pehle specialized in auditing government agencies.

Plainfield trustees turn down residential project again

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Developers can’t seem to find the right fit for a combined housing project for the Salamie property in Plainfield.

Developers aiming to turn the 65-acre property, located north of 127th Street between 248th Avenue and Van Dyke Road, into a 373-home neighborhood once again were met with unfavorable reactions the at Village of Plainfield Committee of the Whole meeting Monday night.

This time, Oculus Development LLC presented a 373-unit project plan called “Central Park of Plainfield,” that included 67 single-family detached homes and a 306unit apartment complex. The average density for the whole

project was 13-dwelling units per acre.

The concept plan was a step up from the 424-dwelling unit plan Pulte Home Corp. tried to present to the Village Board last year. But trustees still had issues with the unit density and the thought of adding another large apartment complex to the village.

Trustee Brian Wojowski said the village was already increasing its apartment-unit count through the Enclave at 127th apartment complex, formerly the Springs at 127th.

“The [Central Park at Plainfield] would almost put 800 [new] units on just about one strip of road,” Wojowski said.

Oculus representative Anthony Lamonia and Adam Dontz from consulting firm LakeStar Advisors advocated for the project, saying it would

“There is not a lot of supply of single family lots on the northern end of Plainfield. This will deliver those. ” Adam Dontz LakeStar Advisors be a good fit for the Salamie property and would benefit the major commercial hub in Plainfield at 127th Street and Route 59.

“There is not a lot of supply of single-family lots on the northern end of Plainfield,” Dontz said. “This will deliver those. The unique thing is we need the income stream from the multi-family to make the single-family viable.”

The high-quality, single-family units would have an average lot size of 13,500 square feet and density of 1.6 dwelling units per acre, lower than surrounding neighborhoods.

Dontz and Lamonia said the apartment units would “raise the bar” designed for an average rent of $1,446 a month, or a minimum renter income of $58,000. The apartment units also were designed with the village’s single-family home design standards, would include stone exterior and other “gingerbread” additions, and would be vetted through high-quality local home builders.

The representatives also contended the village would benefit by attracting millennials with college degrees and higher-paying first jobs through high-quality apartments.

But trustees still weren’t convinced.

“I hate to use a crude analogy,” Trustee Jim Racich said.

“But ... it’s almost like putting lipstick on a pig. You can try to do anything with it, but it isn’t going to make it any more desirable.”

Village Administrator Brian Murphy said staff would work with the developers on adjusting the project.

JJC Renaissance Center sign is seen Monday at 214 N. Ottawa St., in Joliet. of Spanish and Italian architecture. The structure was designed by an architectural firm from Chicago – the same firm behind Joliet’s Union Station.

It was originally designed to be a social hall for the Joliet Chamber of Commerce and has changed ownership several times since its construction. In 1980, the college took over the property and renamed it the Renaissance Center.

The architects proposed plans for the first and second floor of the Renaissance Center.

They showed how the first floor would have connecting corridors between the City Center and Renaissance Center, along with new offices, a campus police entry and an elevator.

They also went over interior design considerations.

When it came to the atrium space in the Renaissance Center, the architects asked college officials if they wanted to explore new design options for

the ceiling and suggested a skylight. Architect Greg Spitzer said that above the ceiling was an old skylight that’s been “roofed over.”

“It would look nice, especially if it had some kind of stained glass design,” said college trustee Robert Wunderlich.

The architects also wanted to know if the ballroom should have new windows or more energy-efficient lighting. They suggested revamping the flooring by making it all carpeting with a portable wood floor.

The adjoining building to the north of the Renaissance Center, the former Sheraton Hotel, will be demolished to make way for parking. But college officials said that plan is on hold. With the hotel demolished, the architects proposed a pedestrian plaza at the site and converting the rest of the area into parking.

“That is an idea that will evolve,” Spitzer said.

Sort through the sound clutter

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Junior College officials are considering several options for renovating the downtown Renaissance Center, a project slated to finish with the construction of the City Center campus building.

On Monday, architects from Demonica Kemper Architects joined college officials and board trustees at a kickoff meeting for the Renaissance Center Renovating Steering Committee for Design Development.

They outlined several goals for the renovation project, including combining the City Center campus building and the Renaissance Center as one “seamless complex,” said architect Dominick Demonica.

The City Center building will connect to the hallways and ballroom of the Renaissance Center.

The architects also wanted to gather input from the college on how the interior of the Renaissance Center should be renovated. About $4 million is budgeted for the project, which is scheduled to be completed, along with the City Center interior work, by spring 2017, he said.

“We wanted to see if there are any strong feelings in terms of the aesthetic design,” Demonica said.

The Renaissance Center was built in 1925 at 214 N. Ottawa St. and features a blend

MORRIS – The Illinois Department of Transportation has started resurfacing work on Route 47 in Morris.

A contract for about $1 million was awarded to D Construction Inc. of Coal City for the work, which includes milling and hot mix asphalt resurfacing of Route 47 from north Benton Street to Interstate 80, according to a news release from IDOT. Also included in the work is the replacement of the traffic signal detector loops and reconstruction of existing sidewalk ramps at various intersections along Route 47.

Because of the nature of the work, a significant traffic impact is anticipated. In an effort to minimize disruption, milling and resurfacing will take place at night between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m.

However, daytime lane closures might occur for sidewalk ramp construction and pavement marking.

The work is expected to be complete by late November, according to the news release.

Motorists are encouraged to use extreme caution when traveling through the work zone and to be alert for changing traffic patterns, flaggers and all other workers.

sentencing delayed

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

JOLIET – The sentencing of a homeless man who pleaded guilty to a 2012 murder has been postponed to October.

Judge Dave Carlson said Monday the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office plans to present evidence before he sentences Michael T. Eberle, 45, for the 2012 slaying of Patrick M. Shaughnessy in Troy Township.

Eberle is expected to be sentenced to 35 years behind bars in exchange for Michael pleading guilty T. Eberle earlier this month, but could see up to 60 years in prison.

On the morning of March 25, 2012, Eberle was seen coming out of Knauer Industries, a burial vault company, which was not open to the public at the time. Will County sheriff’s

deputies searched the plant to find Shaughnessy, 69, a longtime employee, had been beaten to death with a crowbar and fire extinguisher.

In other court news:

A judge has set an Oct. 19 trial date for a Matteson man facing murder charges for a Joliet slaying.

On March 30, 2013, Antonio P. Tyler, 31, was fatally shot at a friend’s apartment in the 100 block of Nicholson Street. Prosecutors believe Tyler was killed

by Rueben W. Washington, 35, in a dispute over money. Both Washington and Tyler previously were arrested

by Joliet police on narcotics Rueben W. charges.

Washington Washington has considered representing himself at pretrial hearings but will use attorneys with the Will County Public Defender’s Office.

Former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher answers questions Monday night from Coal City High School football players. The Bears presented the school with a $50,000 check to refurbish its tornado-damaged athletic fields.

Players asked him questions about his high school days in New Mexico, where he was the only player to make it to college football on a scholarship. He told the players to enjoy high school football, because after that football, and life, becomes more serious.

It wasn’t always serious for Urlacher though. When asked about pranks he and his Bears teammates pulled on each other, Urlacher said for four years they played a game where they placed cardboard boxes unexpectedly on each other’s heads.

He shared stories about the Super Bowl XLI run in 2007, where the Bears lost to the Indianapolis Colts. When asked if he preferred to play with former Bears quarterback Rex Grossman or current Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, he caught everyone off-guard.

“Kyle Orton was the best

quarterback I played with,” Urlacher said.

Urlacher said visiting the high school caused him to reminisce a bit to his high school days.

“I’m glad the Bears chose me to do this,” Urlacher said.

“They’re good kids. It seems like they had fun.”

Coal City High School Athletic Director Dan Hutchings said he didn’t know who was coming on behalf of the Bears, but said it’s overwhelming to think they thought enough of Coal City, a small community about 62 miles away from Soldier Field.

Hutchings said the money is being used to repair fencing on the soccer fields and eventually will help the baseball and softball fields. The school is expecting delivery of a new football scoreboard Wednesday.

Tips to consider when purchasing a home SPONSORED BY

By C.R. Walker Whether you’re a first time homebuyer with little money to put down, or someone who won millions in the lottery and buying a home beyond your dreams, the purchase will undoubtedly be the biggest one of your life.

Since it’s 2015, here are 15 tips to consider when making that purchase: 1. Educate yourself at the start. The process and the different types of loans will be stressful and laborious. Learn the basics before even looking at homes.

2. Find out your credit score and avoid major purchases before buying.

3. Calculate the true cost of buying. In addition to the mortgage, how much will fees, repairs, homeowners insurance and furnishings cost?

4. Don’t look at homes until you’ve meet with a mortgage loan officer and know what you

can afford.

5. Be wary of spending the max you can borrow.

6. Buy when the time is right for you, not because of the market.

7. Remember, bigger isn’t always better. The best house on the block will may be the toughest to resell.

8. Take photos of what you like most at the homes you visit.

9. Choose a home instinctually, not emotionally.

10. Become a journalist by asking the realtor the tough questions about the home.

11. Learn the neighborhood, your potential new neighbors and the convenience or inconvenience of your new address with regards to work, school and shopping.

12. Get the house checked out by a professional home inspector.

13. Make an initial bid based on what you can afford as well as what you believe the house is worth.

14. Be patient and enjoy this life-changing experience.

COAL CITY – Coal City High School football players, coaches and administrators knew there would be a presentation Monday night of a $50,000 check from the Chicago Bears.

But they didn’t know former Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher would be there to answer their questions and present the donation. The money is helping to cover the non-insured repair costs to the athletic fields the school was left with following the devastation of an EF3 tornado June 22.

“I didn’t know a player was coming,” Coal City High School football coach Lenny Onsen said.

As Coal City players finished practice about 5:45 p.m., they were told to make a quick change, get a drink of water and head back to the field. Onsen looked on as a tall man in a blue Bears polo shirt, khaki shorts and a white golf hat walked through the parking lot with just a few Bears media employees.

“Who is that?” Onsen said.

Seconds later the players figured it out and tried to contain their emotion as Urlacher walked up the hill to the north end of their practice field.

Urlacher said he lived in an area of New Mexico that was susceptible to tornadoes, so he knows how devastating they can be. He said he also knows the resiliency affected communities – including Coal City – have shown.

Overtime for work on phones? Judge to decide in case

CHICAGO – A federal judge is set to decide whether Chicago police officers should have received overtime pay for answering work-related calls and emails after hours, a case that could help clarify what it means for an employee to be off the clock in the age of smartphones.

At the end of a bench trial, U.S. Magistrate Judge Sidney Schenkier heard closing arguments Monday in a class-action lawsuit brought by Chicago police Sgt. Jeffrey Allen and 50 other members of an organized crime unit. They claimed the city owes them millions of dollars in back pay for work they performed on department-requisitioned BlackBerry phones.

A central question in Chicago is whether there was an unwritten rule requiring officers stay engaged on their phones and responded to inquiries from superiors 24 hours a day.

Schenkier is expected to rule within several weeks on the Chicago case, which is one of several nationwide that could help draw a clearer line on whether employees must be compensated for answering calls or responding to emails after hours.

In her closing, a lawyer for the city, Jennifer Naber, argued that policies clearly instructed officers to put in for overtime for afterhours work on their smartphones, adding that policy was made even more explicit since the 2010 lawsuit.

University of Illinois Provost Ilesanmi Adesida speaks June 6, 2014, on the campus in Urbana. Adesida said in an emailed statement Monday he’ll step down Aug. 31. He is the second-ranking official at the Urbana-Champaign campus to resign over what he calls controversies on campus. His resignation follows this month’s exit of the top official at the flagship campus, Phyllis Wise.

Kankakee River, raising concerns in Illinois about fish habitat and flooding.

Singleton Stone LLC’s quarry in Lake County, Indiana, plans to pump 12 million to 36 million gallons daily into what’s called the Singleton Ditch, a tributary to the Kankakee River, The Kankakee Daily Journal reported. But under the county’s drainage regulations, the company is allowed to pump as much as 52 million gallons.

“That’s a little scary. That’s just a sand ditch, and it doesn’t take much to take that away,” said Dave Zack, president of the Kankakee River Conservancy District. “They don’t know how much water they’ll have to pump out.”

Kankakee River community residents in Illinois worry about rising sand levels. Kankakee River Basin Commission President J.R. Black said sand from the ditch already causes flooding and ruins

fish habitat.

“It’s a gem of an area for Illinois.

Now we’re facing losing it with all that sand,” Black said. “It’s sad to lose something like that. It’s the last great major wetland in the state.”

Another top official at UIUC resigning

CHAMPAIGN – The No. 2 official at the University of Illinois’ flagship campus announced his resignation Monday, the second high-level resignation following the disclosure that private email accounts were to avoid public scrutiny of school business.

Provost Ilesanmi Adesida said Monday as students began fall classes that he will step down Aug. 31 and rejoin the faculty.

His resignation follows the Aug. 14 exit of Chancellor Phyllis Wise, the top official at the Urbana-Champaign campus.

The university’s email disclosure on Aug. 7 included exchanges involving Wise and Adesida strategizing to win approval for a new medical school on the campus, which they did earlier this year.

“I recognize that current controversies are causing distraction to the administration and the student body, and I do not want to contribute to those distractions,” Adesida wrote in a letter of resignation to interim Chancellor Barbara Wilson. His annual salary was $442,900 during the last school year. It wasn’t immediately clear what this year’s salary would have been.

Wilson accepted his resignation and said the search will begin for a new provost “soon,” but did not specify when.

University President Timothy Killeen, the man in charge of all three University of Illinois campuses, praised Adesida.

Rauner removes Medicaid coverage from heroin bill

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner has returned legislation to the General Assembly that attempts to curtail heroin overdoses, fearing a burdensome cost to the state.

The Republican governor used his amendatory veto powers to remove a section from the legislation that requires Medicaid coverage, particularly major addiction-fighting and anti-overdose drugs.

Rauner said requirements for Medicaid coverage are too costly.

He said removing utilization controls and pre-authorization would increase the state’s staggering deficit.

The bipartisan legislation would increase the availability of anti-overdose drugs, require first responders to dispense them, and provide more treatment over jail time. House sponsor Skokie Democratic Rep. Lou Lang said the savings from curing addicts would far outweigh the costs and that restricting Medicaid coverage would cut out a sector from treatment.

Jackie Robinson West took in more than $300K in donations

CHICAGO – Chicago’s Jackie Robinson West baseball team accepted more than $300,000 in donations before Little League International stripped the team of its 2014 U.S. title, according to documents submitted to the Internal Revenue Service.

The money has allowed the organization, which won last year’s Little League World Series and later was accused of cheating, to build more than $200,000 in cash reserves, the Chicago Sun-Times reported. The club had only $5,619 in its reserves the previous year.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Tardy tax filers risk loss of health care subsidies

WASHINGTON – Sign-up season for President Barack Obama’s health care law doesn’t start for another couple of months, but the next few days are crucial for hundreds of thousands of customers at risk of losing financial aid when they renew coverage for 2016.

Call them tardy tax filers: an estimated 1.8 million households that got subsidies for their premiums last year but failed to file a 2014 tax return as required by the law, or left out key IRS paperwork.

Because of coordination issues between the IRS and marketplaces like HealthCare.gov, consumers who keep procrastinating into the fall are taking chances with their financial aid, according to insurers and the tax agency. That means, for example, someone who’s been paying a monthly premium of $90 could suddenly get hit with a bill for $360.

Government officials said they have a backstop planned that should help many procrastinators.

Nonetheless, insurers and advocacy groups said they’ve been told the best way returning customers can avoid hassles is to file their taxes correctly by Aug. 31.

Judge gives spirited defense of shooter’s trial

CENTENNIAL, Colo. – The judge who oversaw Colorado theater shooter James Holmes’ trial gave an impassioned defense of the jury and the process Monday after the mother of one of the wounded said Holmes’ life sen-

tence showed more concern for Holmes than for the victims.

“You can’t claim there was no justice because it wasn’t the outcome you expected,” Judge Carlos A. Samour Jr. said in an unusual speech from the bench during Holmes’ formal sentencing hearing for the 2012 attack.

Samour said the jury was fair and impartial and he tried his utmost to be the same.

“And that’s how you know it was justice,” he said.

Obama, Biden catch up over lunch amid buzz

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden had a lot to catch up on.

Just back from two weeks of vacation on the tony Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, Obama held his weekly lunch with Biden on Monday. While the president has been away, Biden has been ramping up discussions about whether he will seek the Democratic presidential nomination in 2016.

If Biden runs, it would put Obama in an awkward spot.

Hillary Rodham Clinton, his former secretary of state, is currently the frontrunner in the Democratic primary.

White House press secretary Josh Earnest on Monday left open the possibility the president would endorse a candidate in his party’s primary and touted Biden’s experience, but he sidestepped questions about whether Obama wanted his vice president to enter the race.

Stocks slump; Dow ends down 588 after early 1,000-pt. slide

By ALEX VEIGA and STEVE ROTHWELL The Associated Press U.S. stocks slid again Monday, with the Dow Jones industrial average briefly plunging more than 1,000 points in a sell-off that sent a shiver of fear from Wall Street to Main Street.

Stocks regained some of that ground as the day wore on, but the Dow finished with a loss of 588 points, the eighthworst single-day point decline and the second straight fall of more than 500.

The slump – part of a global wave of selling touched off by signs of a slowdown in China, the world’s second-largest economy – triggered worries among Wall Street professionals and ordinary Americans who are saving for retirement or a down payment on a house.

With the lease on her car up, health insurance worker Deirdre Ralph of Wayne, New Jersey, had planned to get a less pricey vehicle and invest the savings. Now she’s having doubts.

“That money, I wanted to take and put it toward my retirement,” said Ralph, 61.

“Should I? Or should I just have a great old time?”

The Dow ended up losing 588.40 points, or 3.6 percent, closing at 15,871.35. As scary as the sell-off was, the Dow’s decline doesn’t even make the list of the Top 10 biggest drops in percentage terms.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index slid 77.68 points, or 3.9 percent, to 1,893.21, and is now in “correction” territory, Wall Street jargon for a drop of at least 10 percent from a recent peak. The last market correction was nearly four years ago.

The Nasdaq composite shed 179.79 points, or 3.8 percent, closing at 4,526.25.

All three major indexes are down for the year.

“There is a lot of fear in the markets,” said Bernard Aw, market strategist at IG.

People watch trading boards Monday at a private stock market gallery in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

U.S. stocks have been on a bull run for more than six years, after bottoming out in March 2009 in the aftermath of the financial crisis and the Great Recession. The rout began in China last week and continued Monday, when the country’s main stock index sank 8.5 percent.

China concerns aside, U.S. stocks have been primed for a sell-off for several months, said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist and economist for Wells Capital Management.

“I’ve been of the view since late last year that this market is in a vulnerable position,” he said. “It’s gone almost straight up for six years.”

Stocks have kept rising even as corporate earnings growth has slowed. The price-earnings ratio for the S&P 500, a measure of how much investors are willing to pay for each dollar of company earnings, climbed as high as 17.2 in March. That was the highest level in at least a decade, according to FactSet. The Dow plummeted 1,089 points Monday within the first four minutes of the opening bell as traders dumped shares. But a wave of buying by bargain-hunters cut the Dow’s losses by half just five minutes later.

The U.S. market slide was broad. The 10 sectors in the

S&P 500 headed lower, with energy stocks recording the biggest decline, 5.2 percent, amid a slump in the price of oil. The sector is down almost 25 percent this year.

U.S. Treasurys surged as investors bought less risky assets. The yield on the benchmark 10-year note fell to 2.01 percent from 2.04 percent.

Oil, commodities and the currencies of many developing countries also tumbled on concerns that a slowdown in China might hurt economic growth around the globe.

Crude oil closed below $40 a barrel for the first time since early 2009. Gold and silver also fell.

In Europe, Germany’s DAX stock index fell 4.7 percent, while the CAC-40 in France slid 5.4 percent. The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares dropped 4.7 percent.

In Asia, Japan’s Nikkei index fell 4.6 percent, its worst one-day drop since in over 2½ years. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index fell 5.2 percent, Australia’s S&P ASX/200 slid 4.1 percent, and South Korea’s Kospi lost 2.5 percent.

The Shanghai index suffered its biggest percentage decline in 8½ years. China is facing a slowdown in economic growth, the banking system is short of cash, and investors are pulling money out of the country.

The Associated Press

By EDITH M. LEDERER The Associated Press UNITED NATIONS – The Islamic State extremist group has claimed responsibility for killing at least 30 people for sodomy, the head of an international gay rights organization said Monday at the first-ever U.N. Security Council meeting spotlighting violence and discrimination against lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgender people.

“It’s about time, 70 years after the creation of the U.N., that the fate of LGBT persons who fear for their lives around the world is taking center stage,” said U.S. Ambassador Samantha Power, who organized the meeting with Chile’s U.N. envoy. “This represents a small but historic step.”

Diplomats said two of the 15 council members, Chad and Angola, did not attend the informal, closed meeting.

Jessica Stern, executive director of the International Gay and Lesbian Human Rights Commission, told the council

that courts established by the Islamic State group in Iraq and Syria claim to have punished sodomy with stoning, firing squads and beheadings and by pushing men from tall buildings.

Fear of the extremist group, which controls about a third of Syria and Iraq, has fueled violence by others against LGBT individuals, she said.

Subhi Nahas, a gay refugee from the Syrian city of Idlib, told the council that President Bashar Assad’s government “launched a campaign accusing all dissidents of being homosexuals” when that country’s uprising started in 2011. Soon afterward, gay hangouts were raided and many people were arrested and tortured. “Some were never heard from again,” he said.

When the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front took Idlib in 2012, he said, its militants announced “they would cleanse the town of those involved in sodomy,” and arrests and ex-

ecutions of accused homosexuals followed. Last year, when the Islamic State took the city, the violence worsened, he said.

“At the executions, hundreds of townspeople, including children, cheered jubilantly as at a wedding,” Nahas said. “If a victim did not die after being hurled off a building, the townspeople stoned him to death. This was to be my fate too.”

He was able to escape to Lebanon, then to Turkey, where he was threatened by a former school friend from Idlib who had joined the Islamic State group, and finally to the United States.

Stern stressed that persecution of LGBT people in Iraq and Syria began long before the emergence of the Islamic State group, also known as Daesh and called for U.N. action to relocate LGBT persons most in need and for bringing the gay community into broader human rights and humanitarian initiatives among other things.

SEOUL, South Korea – After 40-plus-hours of talks, North and South Korea on Tuesday pulled back from the brink with an accord that allows both sides to save face and avert the bloodshed they’ve been threatening each other with for weeks.

In an artfully crafted, but vague, piece of diplomacy, Pyongyang expressed “regret” about the two South Korean soldiers maimed in a recent land mine blast. While not an acknowledgement of responsibility, it allows Seoul to say it has received the apology it has demanded.

South Korea, for its part, agreed to halt anti-Pyongyang propaganda broadcasts, which will let the authoritarian North trumpet to its people a propaganda victory over its bitter rival – and put an end to hated loudspeaker messages outside analysts said could demoralize front-line troops and inspire

them to defect.

The agreement is an important first step in easing animosity that has built since South Korea blamed North Korea for the mine explosion at the border earlier this month and restarted the propaganda broadcasts in retaliation.

But it’s unclear how long the good mood will continue. The accord does little to address the many major, long-standing differences the rivals still have.

The two sides’ announcement that they’ll hold further talks soon in either Seoul or Pyongyang could do that, but the Koreas have a history of failing to follow through on accords and allowing simmering animosity to interrupt diplomacy.

The talks that began Saturday at the border village of Panmunjom, where the Koreas agreed to the 1953 ceasefire that stopped fighting in the Korean War, also resulted in Pyongyang agreeing to lift a “quasi-state of war” declared last week, according to South Korea’s presidential office and North Korea’s state media.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Is a new Will County Courthouse really needed?

To the Editor: Considering the huge cost of building a new courthouse – money the county does not have – adjacent buildings could be repurposed by putting traffic court, divorce court, bankruptcy court and various misdemeanors in additional buildings and connecting them with a pedestrian bridge, or underground concourse, in addition to street-level access.

Abandoning the current courthouse is just throwing money away. This may make parking more convenient for the outer courts. Creating an underground concourse is an idea used successfully in the Chicago Loop between various buildings; however, they have much

higher foot traffic.

There are city council chambers all over the county that are lightly used and easily could be converted to traffic court and other courts. That would be convenient for both defendants and plaintiffs minimizing travel. In addition, criminal court could be relocated to the county detention facility or immediately adjacent for minimal travel and greater security. A court annex in downtown Joliet may be useful for overflow.

Spending at least $150 million for a new building when the old reinforced concrete appears structurally sound is not a prudent use of taxpayer funds, until the case definitely has been made and other options explored and eliminated.

Was Senate veto override war – or a way out?

I think on Aug. 19, a new and brief window of opportunity opened that finally could help wrap up this long and drawn-out state legislative overtime session.

But that window will only be open for 15 calendar days – the time the state Constitution gives each legislative chamber to vote on a veto override.

Allow me to explain.

I spoke with some Rauner folks last week and, man, are they ever on the warpath about the Senate’s Aug. 19 override of the governor’s veto of the AFSCME bill – which would prevent a strike by or lockout of state workers and would instead require binding arbitration after an impasse is reached. The House has 15 days from that date to take its own action.

Even though AFSCME never has invoked its binding arbitration power with state corrections’ officers (who cannot strike by law), the governor and his people clearly see this bill as an outrageous intrusion on Executive Branch powers.

The governor has called

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

the legislation the “worst bill in Illinois history.” He said it would remove the only popularly elected official from labor negotiations (himself) and replace him with an unelected, pro-union arbitrator (although the unions have numbers which show that employers have won a slightly higher percentage of arbitration cases in this state than employees).

He has ginned up editorials all over the state, privately warned all Republicans that a vote to override guarantees a primary opponent next year, and made it clear to Democrats the best way to ensure a 2016 GOP opponent would be to vote “Yes” on this motion.

One Senate Democratic operative only half-jokingly said last week that the governor was “flipping out” about the bill.

The governor was also quite blunt the day of the Senate vote when he said that this override was a “test” of Senate President John Cullerton.

VIEWS

But Rauner has a way to stop the override if he can see beyond his anger and realize he’s in a trap of his own making: Cut a deal on his “Turnaround Agenda,” fix the budget, declare victory and bring the overtime session to a conclusion.

Tellingly, the House Democrats made some discreet behind-the-scenes inquiries last week about possibly setting up negotiations on the governor’s agenda, which he said must be completed before he’ll talk about the budget.

The point is that on Aug. 29, we arrive at what could be the single most important moment in this overtime session.

After the 15-day clock runs out, we could very well look back on this as either the beginning of a negotiated truce or the start of the harshest, meanest political war we’ve ever seen.

Whatever happens, everybody has a choice here.

A GOOD PLACE TO START 14 returning starters, including quarterback, fuel Minooka optimism

By TIM TIERNEY Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – A group of Minooka linemen broke from their huddle at practice, shouted “1-2-3 playoffs” and cooled off with a little water.

The Indians, who came within a game of reaching the playoffs last year, are keeping the postseason in mind amid the preseason sweat.

Senior David Newman, a returning offensive lineman who likely will play both ways, acknowledged last year’s 4-5 record serves as motivation for 2015.

“Definitely, definitely,” Newman said. “Our goal is, minimum, make the playoffs.”

Eight returning starters on defense and six on offense give Minooka plenty of experience to draw from this season.

“That’s more than we had last year,” coach Paul Forsythe said. “A lot of guys got experience that are seniors.”

At the top of that list is Blake Parzych, a 6-foot-3, 255-pound defensive end who had nine sacks and nearly set the school record for tackles for loss.

With junior Johnny Carnagio back at quarterback, Minooka has two valuable pieces of the puzzle in place.

“Anytime you can get a returning starting quarterback, that’s huge,” Forsythe said.

“Any level, when you feel like you have a quarterback – and I feel like we do – that’s a big piece.

“And from my thinking, if we have a quarterback, do we have someone who can rush

Minooka quarterback Johnny Carnagio works on passing drills during practice Aug. 18 at Minooka. the quarterback? I feel like we do in Parzych. So, we’ve got a quarterback and a guy who can rush the passer and stop the run on the edge.”

Minooka opponents no longer have to stop standout running back Nate Gunn, who has

moved on to the University of South Dakota.

“You can’t really replace Nate Gunn. He was a big-time player for us,” Parzych said.

“We’ve got a new way of running our offense. I’m excited to see how it works out.”

Carnagio, who threw for 1,200 yards last season as a sophomore, will lead the offense.

“He’s up for it,” Forsythe said. “If he plays well, the offense is probably going to do well. If he doesn’t play well,

the offense could struggle. He understands that.”

Mike Malinowski, Drew Turek and Jaccor Blankey will be counted on at running back.

returnee Austin Sims at center will bolster the offensive line.

Returning receivers Jake Adams, Alex Roop and Quintin Durov, along with promising junior Isaiah Hill, will give Carnagio several targets.

The defense has experience at almost every position. Parzych, Anthony Capecci and Adam Nelli up front, linebackers Carson Oughton, Kenny Kirkland and Matt Brozovich and safeties Jack Sasso and Kris Ledesma all started last season.

“A lot of those guys have a lot of leadership,” Newman said. “I lead by example. I’m not a big vocal guy.”

“This year, we’ve got a little closer of a team,” said Parzych, who is being recruited by Southern Illinois, Western Illinois, South Dakota, Butler and Air Force.

“A lot of starters are back.

The junior class might not have all the size in the world, but we definitely have some athletes on this roster.”

Grundy County neighbor Morris and Providence are off the schedule. Minooka will start its season Friday at Stagg in Palos Hills, followed by the home opener Sept. 4 against Lockport.

Both teams were 3-6 last year.

“At least with Morris, there was some familiarity with what they want to do offensively and defensively,” Forsythe said. “Stagg, there’s so many unknowns.

That’s a concern.”

Minooka will host Romeoville in the Indians’ Southwest Prairie Conference opener Sept. 11.

“When I look at the conference, I think Oswego at the top and Plainfield North right there,” Forsythe said.

“Plainfield East has some nice football players. It’s wide open in the middle always.”

RETAINING MOMENTUM FOR 2015 Redskins hope to build off 5A quarterfinal run

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After missing the playoffs in 2013 and finishing 3-6, the Morris football team was 2-4 after six weeks last year and in danger of missing the postseason two years in a row.

But, the Redskins, who suffered some injuries early in the season, got healthy and caught fire, winning five straight, including two in the playoffs, before falling to Peoria in the Class 5A quarterfinals.

Coach Alan Thorson hopes to retain some of the momentum from that hot streak at the end of last year and carry it over into 2015.

“Like every year, we lost a lot of good guys from last year,” Thorson said. “We lost a threeyear stater in T.J. Layne and two-year starters in Griffin Sobol and Jake Walker. Players like that definitely leave behind big shoes to fill.

“Having said that, we are excited for the new faces we have. I think we have a pretty good mix of guys who got a lot of playing time last year and some talented young players coming up.”

At the quarterback position, senior co-captain Nathan Guth will be in charge after the Redskins had Sobol calling signals for the last two seasons.

Guth started at receiver and on defense in the latter stages of last season, and Thorson likes what he sees out of him so far.

“Nathan is our starter,”

Schedule

he said. “He knows the game and our offense very well and is very consistent. We like the way he throws the ball.”

Thorson also expects junior Ricky Del Favero to get some reps under center, as well.

Behind the quarterbacks will be a revolving door of capable running backs, one of the deepest backfields in recent memory. They will be led by fullback and junior co-captain Keagan Sobol, with juniors Michael Feeney and Michael Gerischer splitting time at halfback. When Sobol – who also will play linebacker on defense – needs a rest, look for senior Joey Webb to take over at fullback.

“Keagan is a very good fullback and can also play tailback if we need him to,” Thorson said. “Both Feeney and Gerischer are quality backs, and they will split time. That’s nothing against either one of them.

It just means that we want both

of them to get as many touches as they can.”

The receiving corps will be made up of seniors Delaney Stutzki at tight end and Jake Webb and Tommy Balentine at receiver. Converted quarterback Nathaniel Halcomb, a junior, and senior Cole Puckett also will be in the receiving mix.

Up front, the Redskins look to have a solid starting point, as senior co-captain Jackson Shannon anchors the line after starting all last season. He will be at right tackle, with fellow senior Michael Galifos at right guard. The center will be sophomore Nolan Feeney, with seniors Will Ringer and co-captain Ryan Niewinski splitting time at left guard next to sophomore left tackle Brennan Goff.

The defense, which will run a base 3-4, will be anchored by Niewinski at one of the ends.

Sophomore Alonzo Enriquez

will be the nose tackle, with Shannon, junior Jayson Podschwiet and senior Kyle Mullenberger rotating in at the other end. Look for Mullenberger to see more time as the season progresses as he is returning from a broken hand suffered in June.

At linebacker, Sobol and Ringer seem to have the starting nod in the middle, with the outside linebackers probably Feeney and senior Kyle Overton. Senior Joey Webb and junior Sean Grogan will be first in line to spell them when needed.

The defensive backfield was a group that impressed Thorson over the summer, with seniors Payton Bruyn and Jake Webb at cornerback and senior Guth and junior Michael Cryder at safety. Junior Austin Dearing will be next in line to play corner, while Del Favero will be the first off the bench to play safety.

Friday – Chicago Austin Polytechnic, 7 p.m.; Sept. 4 – at Washington, 7:30 p.m.; Sept. 11 – at DundeeCrown, 7:30 p.m.; Sept. 18 – Sterling, 7:15 p.m.; Sept. 25 – at Yorkville, 7:15 p.m.; Oct. 2 – DeKalb, 7:15 p.m.; Oct. 9 – Kaneland, 7:15 p.m.; Oct. 16 – at Sycamore, 7:15 p.m.; Oct. 23 – at LaSalle-Peru, 7:15 p.m.

“Overall, we’re pretty happy,” Thorson said. “It’s nice at this point of the season to not have a lot of question marks.

That comes down to all the hard work these guys put in during the summer, since the end of last season, really.

“The kids are ready go get going. We’ve done some hitting drills, but they are ready to get out there and hit someone other than their teammates.

We know we will have a tough schedule. There will probably be at least four playoff teams from our conference, so we’ll have plenty of challenges week in and week out. But these kids are confident.”

AREA ROUNDUP

Morris falls to Lincoln-Way N. in girls volleyball STAFF, SUBMITTED REPORTS MORRIS – A new era for Morris girls volleyball began Monday night when Taylor Lafond coached her first varsity match, facing Lincoln-Way North.

However, Lincoln-Way North came away with a 2519, 25-19 win.

Morris (0-1) got off to a good start as Janelle Brehm started the season with an ace, then Kaylin Korte delivered a kill for a quick, 2-0 lead. Morris held leads of 3-1 and 4-2 in the early going before the first set was tied at 4, 5, 6 and 7. Lincoln-Way North then pulled away a bit with a 6-0 run to take a 13-7 lead, forcing a Morris timeout.

The Redskins, who host Coal City on Thursday, closed the gap to 14-9 on a block by Korte before North opened a 20-11 lead. Morris refused to go away quietly, clawing back to within 21-14 and then 23-18 before North won the first set on a Redskin serving error.

“This was definitely a tough match to open up with,” Lafond said. “Lincoln-Way North is a very good team. I saw a lot of good things out of our team, but a team like Lincoln-Way North will definitely let you know what you still need to work on.

“I thought our defense did a good job. We were hustling after everything and didn’t give up on any ball. Our en-

ergy was up. Even when they would go on a four- or fivepoint run, we maintained our energy. That’s big, because things can turn in volleyball very quickly, and you have to be ready at all times.”

The second set started much the same as the first as Morris jumped to a 4-1 lead.

Lincoln-Way North forced ties at 4, 5, 6 and 7 before opening a 12-9 lead. Morris tied it at 12 on an ace by Addison Polite, who also led the team with 11 assists. Behind three kills by Allyson Cappel, Lincoln-Way North opened a 20-14 lead. Morris was able to close to within 2219 before North scored the final three points of the match.

Korte led Morris with

10 kills and added two digs, while Brehm had five kills and four digs.

“Kaylin had a good match,” Lafond said. “And Janelle stepped up, too. Jasmine Cook did a nice job in the back row as the libero.”

Some nervous jitters for youthful Central players • SOCCER

Continued from page 25 scenario for the Knights coach, who has coached senior-heavy squads in the past few years.

“Usually, a few of these guys will get an extra year at the JV level to develop a little bit and get their confidence up,” Fahey said. “But now they’re jumping into the fire at the varsity level, and that’s exciting. It’s great to have new faces out there who get an opportunity to shine. But it is going to be a tough transition for the youthful group that we have.

“It was our first 80-minute game, and we had some nervous jitters, since it was their first game on the varsity.

But it’s good to get one under the belt, so now there’s some things that we can definitely look at and calm some nerves as we get ready for the season, which is a grind as it is.

They’re awesome kids who listen and work really hard, and they’re doing everything in their power to do the right things, and that’s all you can ask for.”

Central struck first, scoring in the 10th minute when Brock Krohe sent a nice throw-in toward the net and Sean Curran got a touch on the ball and headed it just inside the post.

But South got the equalizer in the 19th minute when Rocky Del Real fired an attempt in from the side that went just over Hopper.

After Cougar Juan Guz-

man had a try deflected and Knight Danny Flores lined a shot at Rose, the Cougars had a chance in the 29th minute when Del Real found Chase Cleasby in front, but Hopper came out of the net to alter his close-range attempt.

The Cougars moved in front for good in the 33rd minute as they put together a sequence that was capped when Gabe Sandoval passed off to Uriostegui, who placed a close try just inside of the post.

“In the beginning, it was kind of difficult because we

weren’t communicating as well,” Uriostegui said. “But once we scored, it gave us more opportunities, and it spread the field, and we talked more, and that led to three goals. My goal gave us some momentum, and the corner for our third goal gave us some comfort.

“I’ve played with most of our seniors for a long time, so we know each other well and how we play. And the younger guys are learning and are developing off of us. We hustle and bust our butts in practice, and that really showed on the field today.”

There were far fewer good chances in the final half as the Cougars focused on controlling the ball and playing defense.

Central threatened early when Hobbs’ long free kick found Flores, who headed an attempt to Rose; and a bit later, Hopper came out of the net to shut down an Uriostegui effort.

In the 69th minute, Kyle Klonicki’s throw-in found Cleasby, whose shot was deflected by Hopper and then cleared by Mitchell Allen.

But on the subsequent corner kick, Del Real served up a ball that went to Kevin Garcia, who tapped in a short try for the final goal.

The Lockport Prowl celebrate beating the Pennsylvania Sting, 6-2, to become the 14U & Under C World Series Champions on July 25.

“It is the pinnacle. We’ve worked a lot of years to get to this point,” Gena Pilon Lockport Prowl coach ignated hitter and dominated. As with the other players, she did well hitting according to situations and did what she needed for her team to score.

McNally pitched every game except the championship. With the defense behind her, she limited her opponents to 19 runs in nine games.

McNally was named the All-Tournament MVP and Holman the Offensive MVP, but they weren’t the only reasons the Prowl succeeded.

Each girl – Chase, Hayes, Holman, McNally, Travis, Samantha Budden, Carlie Graham, Rachael Howard, Caitlin Jarzynka, Alyssa Mane and Rachael Marasovich – played a vital role in each win.

“I think it was a team effort,” Pilon said. “I know we have some girls that got awards at the championship ceremony. But, honestly, it was a team effort, because when one wasn’t hitting, another one was. When one made an error, the other was making a double play out in the field.”

The girls also won because they’re more of a family, not just a team.

In most areas, players jump from club to club, and coaches don’t stay with the same group for many years.

The Prowl, however, has had the same

core group playing together since they were 7 and 8 years old, and coaches Pilon and Mane have been with them since the beginning. All but one player – Hayes, from Mokena – lives in the Lockport/Homer area, and some girls live blocks from each other.

Every second spent as a family led toward success in the World Series.

Sadly for the team, things will look a little different next year. Right after the tournament, coach Pilon decided it was time to retire.

“It is the pinnacle. We’ve worked a lot of years to get to this point,” Pilon said. “There is something to be said about knowing when it’s time to walk away. I think it’s my time to focus on other things in my life, but it is a great time. Everyone I’ve talked to has said I’ve picked the right time to walk away and retire. You’re going out on top, and that’s what a lot of people wish that they could do.”

Next year, some other things may change, such as some girls trying out for a different club. It won’t ever take away from winning a national championship – a once-in-a-lifetime feat.

“Going into the season, we thought it could be the last time that we were able to play with each other,” McNally said. “Most of us have been together since 8U, so we brought everything that we learned from the morning and winter training, the up at 8 a.m. when we didn’t want to be there training. We just brought it all together.

“Our coach Bryon was saying all weekend, ‘Leave it all in Maryland.

This is it. Bring it all and try your hardest,’ and that’s what we did.”

MORRIS – Tony Scalpelli started things off by setting the fast qualifying time at 15.214 seconds and climaxed his night with a late-model feature victory.

Scalpelli won the 47-lap main event Friday night at Grundy County Speedway. Boris Jurkovic ran second, followed by John Nutley, Larry Schuler, Brett Sontag, Eddie Hoffman, Brandon Clubb, James Gregait, Andy Jones and Scott Tomasik.

In the 30-lap late-model feature, meanwhile, the top six places, in order, went to Hoffman, Jurkovic, Schuler, Tomasik, Scalpelli and Ricky Baker.

Chris Cooling prevailed in the first heat, with Billy Knippenberg second and Brian Tedeschi third.

Schuler won the second heat ahead of Gregait and David Einhaus.

Nutley captured the third heat and was followed by Tomasik and Baker.

Tom Knippenberg won the 25lap Mid-American feature. Matt Clemens, Kevin Murphy, Marty McKinney, Jim Kachel and John Ventrello rounded out the top six.

Murphy set the fast time at 16.570. John McMahon captured the first heat ahead of Mike Slabenak and Kachel. Clemens took the second heat, with Knippenberg second and Ventrello third.

The 25-lap street stock feature went to Tim Stewart. He was followed by Seth Blommaert, Cheryl Hryn, Rita Fields, Christy Penrod and Zach Sontag. Jake Bradley set the fast time of 17.613. Stewart, Bill Serviss and Darell Gay finished 1-23 in the first heat. Fields won the second heat ahead of Penrod and Hryn.

In 4-cylinders, Ryan Lagestee took the 15-lap feature. Chris Mihalski was second, followed by Ricky Wilson, Alex Gay, Jim Gross and Spencer Leake. Michael Tobuch set the fast time at 19.982. Mihalski won the first heat, followed

by Alex Clubb and Dylan Marshall.

LOCKPORT – Lockport Jr. Miss Softball Prowl 14U leadoff hitter Dani Travis started the first game of the World Series with a perfectly placed bunt.

After the opposing team overthrew first base, Travis was waved to second and kept going to third. Another overthrow, and she scored.

The Prowl started their offensive attack with a “home run” bunt; and in that same game, third baseman Sydney Chase hit one over the fence.

After dominating in the tournament opener, Lockport had all the momentum it needed to go all the way.

“It was absolutely amazing,” firstyear coach Molly McNally said. “Going to Maryland, we were the only team from Illinois. It was kind of nerve-wrecking. Going in, we were a small team, and we were the only parttime travel team there. Our girls came out with the most energy I’ve seen them play all year. Winning was the most amazing thing ever. It blew everyone away.”

The Prowl went 8-1 in the tournament, which ended in late July, and beat the Pennsylvania Sting in the winner-take-all championship game, 6-2, to become the 14U C World Series champions.

Even though it’s been a month, it still hasn’t fully hit some of the players.

“I don’t even know how to put it into words,” pitcher Katie McNally said. “We’ve been working so hard and during season, we never could take first. We always made it to the championship, but we could never win it. We didn’t go in thinking that we’d win the whole thing because we’re a small, tight-knit community team. We brought all of our talent together at once, and it was a great accomplishment for all of us.”

Lockport had many high points in the tournament aside from the two homers and winning the World Series.

Coach Gena Pilon, coach Bryon Mane and coach McNally mixed things up and put their third pitcher, Sarah Hayes, into the championship game to start. Hayes threw her first full game of the season and led the Prowl to a 6-2 win.

Instead of sitting out after spraining her ankle leading up to the tournament, Carmen Holman switched to des-

3 area pitchers make 2015 starts vs. Cubs You never know about baseball.

But after Monday afternoon’s Cubs game – where Cleveland tied it, 1-1, in the top of the ninth inning only to see the Cubs’ Kris Bryant blast a two-out home run in the bottom of the inning for a 2-1 victory, the Cubs’ fifth straight win, – you get the idea something special may happen on the North Side in 2015.

If so, all sorts of trivia questions will crop up, some reserved for the most hardcore of fans. If you ever are asked to name Illinois-bred pitchers who started games against the Cubs in this dream season, here are three to get you started: Washington’s Tanner Roark (Wilmington), Cincinnati’s Tony Cingrani (Lincoln-Way Central) and Atlanta’s Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka).

That’s right, our area’s three major league pitchers this season all have had starts against the Cubs. Roark, in fact, is 2-0 against them; Cingrani is 0-1; and Foltynewicz

is 0-1 after being hit fairly hard last week in his first appearance at Wrigley Field.

Roark has pitched largely in relief for the Nationals, making six starts among 34 appearances. He is 4-4 with a 4.54 ERA in 791⁄3 innings.

He has walked only 18 while striking out 52.

Foltynewicz is 4-5 with a 6.06 ERA for the Braves after allowing 21 earned runs in 21 innings in August. In 14 starts and three relief appearances, he has allowed 107 hits and 28 walks while striking out 74 in 812⁄3 innings.

Cingrani has been back at Triple-A Louisville and just recently resumed pitching after having shoulder problems. In seven games overall at Louisville, he has pitched 22 innings, struck out 24 and allowed 17 hits and 11 walks.

Elsewhere in pro baseball, middle infielder Dean Anna (Lincoln-Way East) has his average up to .273 (109 for 399) at Triple-A Memphis in the St. Louis organization. He has 20 doubles, three triples, three homers and 40 RBIs.

VIEWS Dick Goss Anna’s Memphis teammate, Zach Petrick (Morris, Joliet Junior College), is 7-6 with a 4.47 ERA. In 26 starts, he has pitched 147 innings, walked 20 and struck out 105.

Outfielder Joe Benson (Joliet Catholic) is hitting .272 (37 for 136) since joining the Mets’ Double-A affiliate at Binghamton. He has seven doubles, a triple, three homers, 17 RBIs and six stolen bases.

First baseman Sam Travis (Providence) is hitting .290 (58 for 200) with 14 doubles, a triple, three homers and 28 RBIs for Double-A Portland in the Boston organization. Including his time at Single-A-Advanced Salem, he is at .303 (135 for 446) with 29 doubles, five triples, eight homers and 68 RBIs. His OPS is .778 at Portland, .815 overall.

The overall numbers hide how well Tony Bucciferro

(Minooka) has been pitching for the White Sox’s Double-A team at Birmingham. Bucciferro is 1-7 with a 4.90 ERA in 751⁄3 innings there. However, over his past eight appearances, he has allowed seven earned runs in 28 innings, a 2.25 ERA. Outfielder John Ruettiger (JCA) continues on the disabled list for Baltimore’s Double-A affiliate at Bowie.

He is hitting .266.

Tyler Jay (Lemont) is 0-1 with a 5.02 ERA in 141⁄3 innings for Minnesota’s Single-A-Advanced team at Fort Myers.

On the Class A level, Matt Trowbridge (Providence) has been on the disabled list of Baltimore’s Delmarva team since late May. He has a 4.22 ERA in 102⁄3 innings.

Steve Sabatino (Lockport) toils for St. Louis’ affiliate at Peoria. In nine games there, he is 0-0 with a 3.86 ERA. In 14 innings, he has allowed 17 hits and two walks while striking out 11. Including time at Single-A-Advanced Palm Beach, he is 2-0 with a 3.95

ERA in 431⁄3 innings.

The area players with Short-Season Class A teams include pitchers Derek De Young (Plainfield Central) and Kevin Duchene (JCA), teammates with Oakland’s affiliate at Vermont. DeYoung is 0-1 with a 4.22 ERA in 102⁄3 innings, and Duchene is 0-2 with a 4.84 ERA in 22 innings.

Matt Borens (Peotone) also is in the New York-Penn League with the Yankees’ affiliate at Staten Island and is 1-3 with a 6.07 ERA in 43 innings. Josh DeGraaf (Morris) is pitching for Toronto’s team at Vancouver in the Northwest League and is 2-0 with a 3.52 ERA in 23 innings.

In Rookie leagues, Brandon Magallones (Providence) is 3-2 with a 4.35 ERA in 31 innings for the White Sox’s team at Great Falls. Third baseman Josh Altmann (Lockport) is hitting .248 (39 for 157) with 12 doubles a triple, two homers and 25 RBIs for the Arizona Rookie League Rangers.

L-WW grad Wexter helps U.S. to 7th-place finish STAFF REPORTS

RESISTENCIA, Argentina – Recent Lincoln-Way West graduate Michael Wexter was part of a historic performance by the U.S. Boys’ Youth Volleyball National Team last week.

By JENNA FRYER The Associated Press IndyCar driver Justin Wilson died Monday night from a head injury suffered when a piece of debris struck him at Pocono Raceway. He was 37.

IndyCar made the announcement at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Wilson, a British driver who lived outside Denver in Longmont, Colorado, was hit in the head during Sunday’s race by piece of debris that had broken off another car.

Wilson’s car veered into an interior wall at the track, and he was swiftly taken by helicopter to a hospital in Allentown, Pennsylvania.

“Can’t even begin to describe the loss I feel right now. He was my Brother, my best friend, my role model and mentor. He was a champion!” his younger brother, Stefan, also an IndyCar driver, tweeted. Stefan Wilson said his brother’s organs would be do-

Justin Wilson of England walks on pit road Saturday during qualifying for Sunday’s Pocono IndyCar 500 auto race in Long Pond, Pa. nated.

The last IndyCar driver to die from an on-track incident was Indianapolis 500 champion Dan Wheldon, who was killed in the 2011 season finale at Las Vegas after his head hit a post in the fence when his car went airborne.

After Wheldon’s death, Wilson became one of three driver representatives to serve as a liaison between the

competitors and IndyCar. It was no surprise: The 6-foot-4 Wilson, easily the tallest in the series, was well liked.

“Justin’s elite ability to drive a race car was matched by his unwavering kindness, character and humility – which is what made him one of the most respected members of the paddock,” said Mark Miles, CEO of Hulman & Co., the parent company of IndyCar and Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Wilson won seven times over 12 seasons in open-wheel racing and finished as high as fifth in the Indianapolis 500.

An acclaimed sports car racer, Wilson won the prestigious 24 Hours of Daytona with Michael Shank Racing, and he competed in 20 Formula One races in 2003 before moving to the U.S. to join Champ Car. He finished third in the Champ Car standings in 2005, and was runner-up in both 2006 and 2007. To support his career, his management team

in 2003 created a program that allowed fans to invest in the driver. Hundreds of people bought shares in Wilson, who was dyslexic and a strong supporter of foundations related to the disorder.

Wilson drove on the IndyCar circuit for Dale Coyne Racing of Plainfield in 2009 and again from 2012 through 2014. He won a race at Watkins Glen in July of 2009 to give Coyne the first victory of his then-23-year career as a car owner. He won at Texas in 2012 to give Coyne’s team its first victory on an oval.

A tweet from Dale Coyne Racing on Monday night said: “Such a sad day. The whole Dale Coyne Racing team is thinking of Justin’s family tonight.”

Wilson, a native of Sheffield, England, entered this season without a full-time ride. He latched on with Andretti Autosport and was in the sixth of seven scheduled races with the team.

CHICAGO BASEBALL ROUNDUP

Bryant’s home run lifts Cubs in pitcher’s duel The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The Cubs’ Jon Lester and Cleveland’s Corey Kluber locked up in a terrific pitchers’ duel.

But after the marquee starters left the game, Kris Bryant walked off with the key hit.

Bryant homered with two outs in the ninth inning to lift the surging Cubs to a 2-1 victory Monday over the Indians on in a makeup of a rainout June 15.

The rookie, who had homered twice Sunday, lined a pitch from Cleveland reliever Zach McAllister (3-4) into the right field bleachers to give the Cubs their fifth straight win and 21st victory in 26 games.

The wind was blowing steadily to right all game, but only Bryant came close to taking advantage of it as he went deep for the 20th time.

“It was a great pitchers’ duel,” Bryant said. “I thought

Jon had enough to pull it out but sometimes you’ve got to give credit to the other team.

“They came through and I knew I was going to get an atbat there and I made the most of it.”

Carlos Santana singled home pinch runner Abraham Almonte with the tying run with two out in the ninth to spoil Lester’s bid for his first shutout and complete game with the Cubs.

That Bryant came through in the bottom of the inning

came as no surprise to Cubs manager Joe Maddon.

“He’s definitely not intimidated by the moment,” Maddon said.

Backed by four double plays, Lester rebounded from his shortest start of the season to pitch his longest since joining the Cubs. He was relieved

by Hector Rondon (5-2) with two outs in the ninth after scattering six hits and striking out six. “(Lester) had everything going on,” Maddon said.

CHICAGO – Rusney Castillo homered and drove in a career-high five runs, Joe Kelly won his fifth straight outing and the Boston Red Sox beat the White Sox 5-4 on Monday night.

Kelly (7-6) allowed five hits and two runs over 7 1-3 innings while walking one and striking out three. He became the first Red Sox pitcher since Clay Buchholz in 2013 to win five straight starts.

Jean Machi pitched the ninth for his second save in two opportunities.

Castillo went 3 for 4 and finished a triple shy of the cycle. His sixth-inning double to the right-center field gap drove in two runs and extended Boston’s lead to 5-1.

Jeff Samardzija (8-10) dropped a career-worst fifth straight decision. After giving up Castillo’s two-run double, Samardzija allowed the next two hitters to reach before being pulled after surrendering his second walk.

Loss of Ratliff leaves Bears in deep hole The NFL has announced that Jeremiah Ratliff will be suspended for the first three games of the season because of a violation of the NFL’s substance abuse policy, and there is no way to understate the significance of the loss of Ratliff to the Bears’ defense.

Ratliff was the best player on the defense and the only player resembling a sure thing at his position going into training camp.

The suspension is the result of a DWI Ratliff committed in January 2013 but which didn’t work its way through the legal system until the end of April this year.

The Bears were aware Ratliff was in court working this out late this spring, and he did plead guilty to the DWI in exchange for one year of probation, so the team should have been aware some punishment could be coming, a fact Ratliff confirmed after practice Monday.

Does the punishment fit the crime?

It’s an impossible debate to have. In Roger Goodell’s NFL, there is no rhyme or reason to any of the discipline being

The Bears’ Jeremiah Ratliff speaks with reporters following the first day of practice July 30 at Olivet Nazarene University in Bourbonnais.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush handed out these days, and appeals just tend to make things worse unless you go to federal court.

Ratliff does have the right to appeal and try to get the punishment overturned or delayed, and that minimally could delay the suspension until later in the season, but Ratliff has chosen not to pursue it.

When asked why, he explained, “We’ve been down this road with the NFL, and they don’t care to hear it. So be it. Honestly, it doesn’t matter what I think, does it? The results are the results.”

Ratliff clearly is disappointed but resigned to his fate, believing all he can do now is move on.

“There are a lot of things I could be doing to help myself, help the team,” he said. “That’s what I’m going to focus on. This was about – what – two, three years ago.

That’s all behind me. This is

the result of it. Just moving forward from here.”

From a football perspective, while the Bears have shown some promise up front with Ego Ferguson, Jarvis Jenkins, Eddie Goldman and Will Sutton, Goldman is the only one of that group who can play on the nose without weakening the defense elsewhere, and there was absolutely no depth behind those four and Ratliff before the suspension.

The Bears simply cannot ask Ferguson, Jenkins, Goldman and Sutton to play 60 minutes, and the suspension comes during the toughest stretch of the Bears’ schedule, with games against the Pack-

ers, Cardinals and Seahawks.

If it appeared the Bears would be unable to avoid a 0-3 start playing that group, it now appears almost impossible.

If they do start 0-3, it will impact the rest of the season and exactly how much progress this team makes.

The result of all this likely will be the Bears struggling mightily to stop the run the first three weeks of the season, and one or two players who appeared to be long shots to make the roster now could impact the final cuts.

Willie Young, Brandon Dunn and Cornelius Wash-

ington are the guys to keep an eye on. Dunn can come in and line up on the nose, and Washington can give them some reps at the five-technique if they want to slide Ferguson or Jenkins inside.

It also is possible they will play a little more nickel than they had planned.

In nickel, they could line up Young and Jared Allen on the ends, with any combination of Goldman, Sutton, Pernell McPhee, Lamar Houston or Ferguson inside.

The common theme here – along with the lack of depth at wideout because of the Kevin White injury – is, going into training camp, why didn’t the Bears have just a little more depth in these units with veterans, knowing the predicament one injury or suspension could leave them in?

Nonprofit remodels home of Joliet resident with multiple sclerosis

By ALLISON SELK Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – With a creak of a handle, the wooden front door opened late Sunday night.

With wide eyes and jaws dropped, the Gibson family scanned their newly remodeled Joliet home in disbelief.

“Did I walk into the wrong house? Is this really my house,” 11-year-old Kaitlyn Gibson asked.

Kaitlyn was the first of her family of four to walk through the front door. In 48 hours, the 900-square-foot house had undergone a dramatic transformation thanks to a local nonprofit that helps children or adults battling a life-threatening physical or mental illness by renovating a room to heal in.

On April 23, the nonprofit Team Make a Difference received a letter from a mother concerned about her 34-yearold daughter, Sarah Gibson of Joliet, who was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 14 years ago.

Sarah and her husband, Tom, have two children – Kaitlyn and 6-year-old Addison. Tom works 16-hour days to provide for the family, and the house was falling apart.

“Sarah has progressive MS and was diagnosed while she was in college,” mother Lucinda Zolecki wrote. “She doesn’t receive disability because she didn’t pay in enough to Social Security, so they live paycheck to paycheck. She is my little girl and always will be, and I want the kids to have a childhood.”

According to the letter, Sarah graduated from college with honors and a bachelor’s degree in arts and social work. But because of the severity of her MS, she never was able to use her degree.

The letter also said Sarah has a motorized wheelchair, but no vehicle able to trans-

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Give him the lead when you would like

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Yesterday, I compared flipping a coin to an endplay. In the former, you have only a 50 percent chance of winning; but in the latter, it is 100 percent if you can draw trumps, keeping at least one in the dummy and your hand, eliminate the cards in two side suits, and give an opponent the lead when he has to help you.

Here is another example. How should South play in six hearts after West leads the spade queen? What do you think of the auction?

North’s two-no-trump response was the Jacoby Forcing Raise, promising four or more hearts and at least game-forcing values. The opener, without a singleton or void, rebid three hearts to show a maximum. (Four of his major would have indicated a minimum and three no-trump middling strength.) Four diamonds was a control-bid (cue-bid). Then South used regular Blackwood. (If North-South had been using Roman Key Card Blackwood, South would have known that North had the heart queen.)

At first glance, the contract appears to depend upon one out of two diamond finesses. But whenever declarer faces this position, he should try to engineer an elimination and endplay.

He wins the first trick, draws trumps, and cashes his other four black-suit winners, discarding the diamond five from the dummy. Now South leads a diamond to dummy’s 10 (or queen). After East wins with the jack (or king), he must either lead back into dummy’s diamond tenace or concede a ruff-and-sluff.

Yes, a diamond lead is fatal to the contract. East should have doubled the four-diamond control-bid.

of the heart is stopped, so that it is not moving when the surgeon does the delicate operation. But if it’s not beating, the heart can’t do its job of pumping blood throughout the body. Instead, the patient is put on a heart-lung machine to pump the blood while the heart is stopped.

The use of the machine sometimes can cause complications.

• The traditional CABG technique also uses veins from the legs to route blood past the blockage.

Over the years, surgeons have been refining various techniques for making the surgery “smaller.” These changes collectively are called “minimally invasive surgery.” In such surgery: • Surgeons do not cut through the breastbone.

Instead, they make much smaller incisions through the chest. They use tiny scopes that let them see inside the chest, and instruments (including robots) that allow them to do precise surgery on the blood vessels of a beating heart.

• Because surgeons leave the heart beating, they don’t need to use a heart-lung machine.

• Another change in CABG over the years has been that surgeons use arteries from other parts of the body – arteries the body can “spare” – because they last longer than veins.

With this background on angioplasty and the traditional approach to CABG, in tomorrow’s column I’ll explain the newer approach of hybrid surgery that you asked about.

HOROSCOPE TODAY – Stop living in the past. Many opportunities lie ahead of you, but if you aren’t looking for them, it will be difficult to reach your goal. Accept the many changes going on around you.

Experience can be a great learning tool if you apply it properly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Brooding at home won’t help you get over the blues.

Plan a fun activity and try to get out and enjoy life. You might learn something in the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – A creative project will help distract you from an upsetting personal problem. Try to see your situation rationally rather than emotionally in order to find a viable solution.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Make plans to travel. The information you gain along the way will aid you in achieving your professional goals. Don’t get drawn into a battle of wills with an overbearing family member.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Be true to yourself and fight for what you believe in, no matter what others say or do.

Don’t let fear of reprisal hold you back.

Moneymaking opportunities are evident.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Don’t get involved in gossip or reveal information that will cause others to talk about you.

A tumultuous relationship will improve if you are attentive and understanding.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Revisit an idea you shelved due to a lack of time.

Don’t choose sides in a battle between feuding relatives unless you want to alienate both parties. Remain neutral.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – A new partnership is likely. Find a reliable person to help you cultivate an innovative project.

You will receive support and encouragement from the crucial people in your life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Frustration will develop if you allow others to take control of your thoughts or actions. For safety’s sake, all money matters and

financial deals should be dealt with personally.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – You have to be wary, or your trusting nature will end up being a liability. Don’t dive into a joint venture until you have researched the background of your potential partner.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Slow down, because making a move prematurely will work against you. Listen and observe what others are saying or doing before you charge ahead. A self-improvement project will be fruitful.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – You can make progress, provided you don’t let greed or emotional issues cloud your judgment. Be realistic about your goals and go after what you feel is right for you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Difficult people will pose a challenge for you. Don’t let insecurity or self-doubt hold you back.

Compromise and patience will help you deal with disagreements.

Dear Dr. K: My friend said he had bypass surgery and angioplasty at the same time. Isn’t it usually one or the other?

Dear Reader: It is usually one or the other, but your friend may have been treated at one of a few select medical centers in the United States currently offering a new hybrid approach. If so, he may have had both bypass surgery and angioplasty during the same surgery.

To answer your question, I need to explain both the traditional approach and then the new hybrid approach. The hybrid approach cannot be used in all patients. However, when it is used, the goal is to make the surgery less grueling, and the beneficial results of surgery more long-lasting.

Lifestyle changes and treatment with medicines are often all that someone with atherosclerosis of the arteries of the heart needs.

But when fatty plaque narrows the arteries of the heart and threatens its blood supply, it’s crucial to restore blood flow.

One option is to open the blockages with a tiny balloon (angioplasty).

This is followed by the placement of a stent – a tiny, expandable mesh tube that keeps the artery open.

Another option is to transplant blood vessels from elsewhere in your body to bypass the blockage. The blood vessels are used to route the blood past the blockage, restoring blood flow to the heart.

This is known as coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

When it was first introduced, and as it still is often performed today, CABG has several features: • The surgeon saws through the breastbone to access the heart. That’s pretty grueling, and it injures a lot of body tissue, which requires a long period of healing.

• Then the beating

There’s a saying that a joy shared is twice a joy and a burden shared is half a burden. When she tried to confide what was weighing on her mind or heart on those occasions, your response was, frankly, unkind. Further, if the treatment she’s giving those children is covered

In fact, THREE groups of tax preparers have unlimited practice rights under Department of the Treasury regulations to represent their clients on any matters before the IRS – certified public accountants, attorneys and enrolled agents.

None are more qualified than CPAs. CPAs are licensed by state regulators and must meet minimum education requirements to sit for their national licensing exam and then fulfill ongoing continuing education requirements, as well as abide by a code of professional ethics. Attorneys have a generally similar system.

Enrolled agents are often former IRS employees who are licensed by the IRS after passing an exam. Enrolled agents are competent and respected tax professionals, but the fact they are licensed by the IRS does not mean they are better qualified or superior in serving clients than are CPAs or attorneys.

IRS.gov has a page explaining the different types of tax return preparers and their qualifications, which may be helpful to your readers. – Troy K. Lewis, CPA Dear Mr. Lewis: Thank you for the clarification and for expanding my reply to that letter. It was not my intention to imply that CPAs are less qualified than enrolled agents – and if I created that impression, I sincerely apologize.

Dear Abby: I have been married for 36 years to a woman who is a pediatric physical therapist. A number of her youngsters are disabled or abused, and their lives can be a struggle.

This results in emotional, intense workdays for my wife. She brings these stories home and shares them with me.

Over the years on three or four occasions, I have either told her I didn’t care to hear an emotional story that day, or ignored her when she tried to tell me.

The last time I said it was last year, and now she refuses to tell me anything about her workload. She’s very stubborn, and although I am interested in what she does, she won’t let me apologize.

She says she will discuss it only with her fellow therapists at work.

Abby, what can I do to convey to her that I want to share her experiences? –
