Jackie Robinson West may be a spark for urban youth baseball

By BOB OKON

Read more

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – “That could have been us,” is something coach Vincent Sanders said he heard from his team while Jackie Robinson West was winning games in the Little League World Series.

Sanders has no doubt the success of Jackie Robinson West, the team from Chicago’s South Side, will draw more black youths to baseball in Joliet. Jackie Robinson West won the national title, and came in second in the Little League World Series.

“I’m sure we’ll have a lot more kids trying out next year,” said Sanders, who coaches a mostly black team in the Belmont Little League in Joliet.

The declining interest in baseball in urban areas has been serious enough that Major League Baseball has created the program Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities, which focuses on youth baseball. Incoming MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred said last week that the diversity of players in this year’s Little League World Series bodes well for the sport’s future.

The hero’s reception given to the all-black Jackie Robinson West team in Chicago on Wednesday likely bodes well for people like Sanders, who look for city kids to play organized baseball.

The Jackie Robinson West All Stars receive a warm welcome home. PAGE 16 Sanders’ own team, Crest Hill Pawn Shop, played Jackie Robinson West in Milwaukee this summer. Crest Hill played well, although they did not win, Sanders said. But having played the team that went on to the Little League World Series already is motivation for his own players, he said.

“They’re talking about it.

Lots of people are talking about it, especially a lot of black men are talking about it,” Sanders said. “In the black community, even a lot of people who don’t like baseball were watching it because it’s a black team.”

Larry Crawford, who has organized baseball leagues in Joliet as part of a wider effort to improve life in the city’s older neighborhoods, said it has been hard to get kids to play baseball.

“I hope that black American youth has taken up an interest in the progress and success of Jackie Robinson West,” Crawford said.

He will have a better idea by next spring, after another attempt to organize kids and parents for a baseball league.

Crawford ran a league for four years at Varnado Field, a park built at McDonough and

Water streets – a largely African-American neighborhood – to offer area kids something to do. But Crawford said lack of interest meant there was no league this summer.

Crawford said he, too, believes the success of the Jackie Robinson West team has been an inspiration. But there are challenges to youth baseball, many revolving around costs and volunteer participation.

Those challenges are not new, said Candace Hadley, who drew her own inspiration from Mo’ne Davis, the girl who pitched for the Little League team from Philadelphia. Hadley said she was about the same age as Davis in the 1980s when playing in a hardball league in Joliet. But the league folded for lack of funding.

“It costs money,” said Davis, who plays softball now in the Joliet Park District. “Uniforms themselves cost a lot of money. You have cleats. You have bats.”

Sanders said he believes there is interest in baseball among black youth in Joliet.

“But they need support.

They need support like rides,” he said.

Even so, Sanders said interest seemed to be growing even before the Jackie Robinson West story. Belmont started a tee ball league this year, and there were four all-black teams in it.

“I never saw that before,” Sanders said.

JOLIET – A Joliet 815 Children’s Weekend of Talent and Growth is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday at Nowell Park.

Young people from fifth through eighth grade are invited to join a variety of competitions, including 3-on3 basketball, a talent show, a bop dance contest, Double Dutch jump rope, and a parent-and-children kickball tournament. The opening event begins at 10 a.m.

Saturday with a message to young people and families to join the “Put the Guns Down” movement. The athletic competitions will occur Saturday during the all-day event. On Sunday, the event begins at 1 p.m. and includes the talent show and dance contest.

Joliet Catholic Academy holds groundbreaking for ‘Heritage Quad’ More about JCA

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Officials at Joliet Catholic Academy are “more than halfway” to the $1.2 million fundraising goal needed for an expanded plan to create a Heritage Quad and make other school improvements.

About 700 people, mostly students, gathered Wednesday during a groundbreaking ceremony at the project’s site – a section highly visible to motorists passing the campus along Larkin Avenue.

The mainstay of the landscaped outdoor space will be a 35-foot-tall replica of the school’s landmark Victory Light tower, a “perfect way” to pay respect to the school’s history and tradition, Principal Jeff Budz said.

The original tower, a familiar sight in Joliet, is anchored atop the former Joliet Catholic High School building on Broadway Street. It remains a prominent school symbol, often used in decals and emblems for students and alumni.

Along with the Victory Light replica, the outdoor space will include 6-by-10foot curved stone walls with inscriptions noting the histories of the school’s three predecessor schools: St. Francis Academy, Joliet Catholic High School and De La Salle High School.

Construction could begin this fall.

The $1.2 million project also calls for new windows in the section that faces the Heritage Quad and throughout the rest of the school, Budz said.

Officials initially estimated the capital improvements would cost about $500,000, but their fundraising goal has more than doubled now that the project’s scope includes

Joliet Catholic Academy was formed in 1990 with the merging of Joliet Catholic High School, an all-boys school, and St. Francis Academy, an all-girls school. The two schools together have 144 years of history.

St. Francis formed in 1869, while De La Salle High School formed in 1918 at the site where the Victory Light stands today. The school became Joliet Catholic High School in 1933. Learn more about JCA at www.jca-online.org/

additional windows; more outdoor aesthetics, such as bronze sculptures; and air conditioning throughout the school – something the 58-year-old building has gone without for decades.

than halfway to their $1.2 million goal, after beginning fundraising efforts this past fall, Budz said. That’s a clear indication of how the institution’s alumni, and families of current students, continue to support the school’s efforts, he said.

Fundraising efforts “That just shows us their JCA officials are more

passion for our school and how they want us to succeed,” Budz said.

Enough money has been raised for construction to begin as early as October, he said, with the first steps being windows and the outdoor space’s foundation.

The windows date back to the building’s 1956 construction.

Max Ziesmer, co-chairman of the project team, said the project developed out of alumni focus group sessions.

The project has since grown with the hopes of providing space for events and social gatherings, such as a graduation, victory celebrations and alumni reunions.

“That goes back to why this has become a bigger project. We wanted to be able to aesthetically set it up for those types of situations,” Ziesmer said. “When we talk

about this space, kids really haven’t ever hung out here.

This is a really big area of land that nobody’s ever used.

Now it’s really going to become a focal point.”

The goal is to create a space for JCA’s alumni, teachers, and current and future students, that brings life to the school’s history and tradition, Ziesmer said.

Bill Bayci, president for JCA’s board of directors, said JCA’s legacy lies within alumni who have stayed in the Joliet area and accomplished great things for the community.

That’s what the Victory Light and the Heritage Quad are all about, he said.

“Everybody knows about Tom Thayer and Allie Quigley, and other great leaders in the community. Part of our legacy is those folks, no doubt about that, but our legacy is also each one of us in the community,” Bayci said.

“So many people from Joliet Catholic Academy [and the school’s predecessors], they stayed home, raised families, and now they do positive things in the community every day. They have families and lead good lives. And that’s really the legacy.”

Joliet election board hears case on Joliet for Eight Decision delayed until Thursday

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The fate of the Joliet for Eight Districts referendum is set to be determined Thursday by the City Electoral Board.

The board tabled a decision after the petitioners and objector spent most of Wednesday arguing two points before the board: the number of valid signatures on the petitions; and the number of signatures required to put the measure on the ballot.

City Attorney Jeff Plyman told the board 2,392 people signed the petition, which seeks to change the City Council structure from five district and three at-large seats to eight districts. A challenge was filed to the petition after it was file with the city clerk.

“It’s the objectors’ job to persuade you that there are an insufficient number of signatures on the petition,” Plyman told the board, which consists of Mayor Tom Giarrante, Councilman At-Large Mike Turk and City Clerk Christa Desiderio.

The board’s decision on

whether to certify the measure will be determined by how many signatures it deems are valid, and which election law it decides to follow.

A decision must be made before the end of the business day Thursday to give the Will County Clerk’s Office enough time, if necessary, to place the measure on the November ballot.

After a five-day analysis of signatures, Plyman, petitioners and objectors each came up with a different number for how many they considered valid.

Advocates and opponents also disagreed on the number of signatures necessary to certify the measure

How many signatures are valid?

Plyman said he determined 1,465 of the signatures were valid, or about 61 percent of those signing the 308-page petition. Plyman deemed 880 signatures as invalid, and another 47 as “other” that cannot be counted.

Ruth Greenwood, an attorney with the Chicago Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, Inc., representing Concerned Citizens of Joliet, the grassroots group backing the referendum, said “rehabilitated” signatures

Rob Winner – rwinner@shawmedia.com

The Joliet Electoral Board, which includes At-Large Councilman Mike Turk (from left to right) Mayor Tom Giarrante, and City Clerk Christa Desiderio, listen Wednesday to City Attorney Jeff Plyman (not pictured). would bring the valid number to 1,633.

Greenwood told the board that it should validate signatures by voters considered to be inactive or “on hold” or in line to be purged by the Will County Clerk’s Office. Voters who have moved since signing the petition also should be included, she said.

Greenwood also requested inclusion of several Hispanic signatures. The names, which contain both paternal and maternal surnames by tradition, generated several objections, she said.

Brian Kopman, an attor-

ney with Kavanagh, Grumley & Gorbold of Joliet representing Sarah Andreano, the Joliet woman who objected to the petition, said 1,370 signatures appeared to be valid by his count.

Election law or municipal law?

Kopman and Greenwood also argued about which law the board should follow to determine whether enough signatures had been collected to place the matter on the ballot.

Kopman said the board should follow state election law, which mandates that

ballot measures require signatures totaling 8 percent of the city vote in the last gubernatorial election.

Based on estimates by the county clerk’s office that 33,553 Joliet residents voted in the 2010 election, Kopman said 2,685 signatures were necessary to place the matter on the ballot.

Even if all of the signatures were valid, the petitioners still wouldn’t have enough, he said.

“It’s clear that the petitioners’ referendum should be kept off the ballot,” Kopman said.

Greenwood countered that the board should follow municipal code.

Under municipal law, the threshold to place a matter on the ballot is 10 percent of the number of voters in the last mayoral election. Greenwood estimated 1,547 signatures were needed under that formula.

Greenwood said that many of the petition’s signatories were the young, elderly, Hispanics, African-Americans and others forgotten by the political process.

Greenwood noted that “in a town where it take just over 4,000 votes to get elected mayor,” 1,633 votes should be sufficient to get the measure on the ballot.

Fee would help finance new Will County courthouse THE HERALD-NEWS SPRINGFIELD – The Will County Board now has the authority to impose court fees to help pay for construction of a new courthouse.

House Bill 5889, sponsored by state Sen. Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, and Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, was signed into law Tuesday.

It’s estimated that the fees could raise between $1.5 and $2 million a year for the project, depending on the fee

structure, which would be set by the county board.

Under the measure, the county board can adopt a fee of up to $30 on civil and criminal cases that require a court appearance. The money collected can only be used for a new courthouse and courtroom construction.

“If the county board chooses to adopt the fee, this will provide a sure revenue stream for construction of a badly needed new courthouse,” McGuire said Wednesday.

The user fees, which cannot exceed $30, would be imposed on both parties in civil cases at the time of the first pleading and on defendants who plead guilty in criminal cases. It would not apply in traffic, conservation or ordinance cases when fines are paid without a court appearance.

“It will apply to enough cases to make a real difference,” Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said. “It means that much less funding will be

needed from the county. It’s a fair fee.”

The fee establishes a stream of revenue for the new courthouse, McGuire said.

“It is born by users of the courthouse, rather than all Will County taxpayers,” he said.

A new courthouse is expected to cost between $140 and $200 million. County officials currently are discussing a mix of revenue sources to finance the construction.

The courthouse will most

likely be built where the First Midwest Bank, 50 W. Jefferson St., currently stands. The county bought that site earlier this year intending to build a new courthouse there.

The county board has also hired Darien-based Wight & Company to complete preliminary design work for a new courthouse.

The company is in the process of developing a concept plan, construction cost estimates, and county population projections.

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – To those who knew him, Robert Rogina dedicated his life to making Joliet a better place.

On Wednesday, to honor his legacy, his name was ceremoniously affixed on a city street sign.

The sign, “Robert ‘Bob’ Rogina Way,” is located at the corner of Van Buren and Chicago streets near the Rialto Square Theatre. Rogina died Feb. 28 at the age of 72.

A Joliet native, Rogina was involved with the Rialto Square Theatre, Silver Cross Hospital, United Way of Will County, Cornerstone Services and the Will County Center for Economic Development.

Many leaders from those organizations – along with county and city officials – were on-hand during Wednesday’s ceremony to celebrate Rogina’s life.

His family was there as well, including his son Michael, manager of Rogina Engineers and Surveyors.

His father founded the company.

“It’s a witness to his family,” Michael said about the sign. “He’s an example of how to work for the betterment of your community.”

Some who spoke about Rogina, such as Rialto Square Theatre Foundation member Jim Smith, said he was a man of few words, but proud to serve his community.

Michael Rogina said his fa-

ther loved to work behind the scenes and cared more about the work than the accolades.

“I guarantee he would be a little embarrassed [by the sign], but ultimately he would be grateful,” he said.

John Greuling, president and chief executive of the Center for Economic Development, said after Rogina died, many people thought about ways to commemorate his life.

Scholarships and a celebration were considered, but naming a road after him seemed like the best option, he said.

“He built things, designed things, made things happen,” Greuling said.

Other organizations Rogina served included the Rotary Club of Joliet, Will-Grundy Counties Home Builders Association, Three Rivers Manufacturers Association, Will County Community Foundation and the University of St. Francis.

He also was board chairman at Cornerstone Services.

Susan Bultman, vice president and chief development officer of Cornerstone Services, said Rogina changed the lives of thousands of people with disabilities.

When the organization opened its first group homes for children, Rogina’s family donated the money needed to buy playground equipment.

“It was such a small thing but so important to the people who were living there. It was so meaningful for them,” Bultman said.

JOLIET – Trial dates were set Wednesday for two separate murder cases that happened outside the same gymnasium.

Special prosecutor Dave Neal and defense lawyer Doug DeBoer said both sides will be ready to go Sept. 10 when Kenneth G. Edwards, 46, faces a bench trial before Judge Edward Burmila. On Aug. 9, 2012, Sean D. McGinn, 39, parked his pickup truck behind the KO Zone Boxing Club, 218 E. Cass St., which he co-owned with Jermain K. Bennett.

Police said McGinn brought thousands of dollars in cash to buy cocaine, but Edwards was allegedly waiting in the parking lot and shot McGinn twice while Bennett took the cash.

Nearby residents heard the shots and called police.

Bennett was arrested the day after McGinn’s murder, while Edwards was not charged until October. Bennett pleaded guilty to armed robbery and agreed to testify against Edwards in ex-

change for having his own murder charge dropped.

Also on Wednesday, Judge Sarah Jones set a Nov. 17 jury trial date for Jevon Lesley, 21.

On July 9, 2011, Lesley and other gang members began arguing with a group from a rival gang near the entrance of the KO Zone Boxing Club, according to police.

Lesley allegedly took out a handgun and started firing blindly into the large crowd outside. Two rounds struck Anthony Fearn, 18, who was attending a late-night party inside, but had no gang involvement.

Investigators believed Fearn’s lack of criminal connections were a reason rival gangs didn’t bring forth information about his killer immediately, but Lesley was charged in September 2012 after witnesses identified him as the shooter, according to reports.

When murder charges were filed, Lesley was serving a prison sentence after being caught in a car with two guns in January 2012.

vshanker@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – Republican gubernatorial candidate Bruce Rauner stressed the importance of small-town families and diverse backgrounds as he swung by Will and Grundy counties Wednesday to kick off the second leg of his Shake Up Express Bus Tour.

The Rauner campaign stopped by the Golden Mine Family Restaurant, 111 S. Front St., in Braidwood in the morning. Before that, he spoke to locals at Talty Chevrolet at 1850 N. Division St. in Morris.

“This is one of the most important counties in the state,” Rauner said about Will County. “I love coming to Will County. It’s a great community.”

Rauner said the county is a good location for business, with room to grow, and it’s a key component in transportation networks across Illinois. Rauner said he also plans to campaign hard in Cook County to grab votes from the Democratic stronghold.

He touched on several talking points, including instituting term limits, eliminating hikes in income taxes. Rauner also promised to move his family into the governor’s mansion in Springfield if elected.

Godley resident Janet Hassel, who brought her home-schooled children to hear Rauner speak, said

Vikaas Shanker – vshanker@shawmedia.com

Bruce Rauner meets with Braidwood Mayor Bill Rulien during his Shake Up Express Bus Tour in Braidwood on Wednesday. that while she may not agree with Rauner on issues such as abortion, she believes he has a good heart and motive to help clean up the state.

“I think if we as parents aren’t involved in the political process, then neither will our kids,” Hasselbring said, adding that she made it a point to speak out about the lack of support and credit home-school parents receive.

Braidwood resident and Chamber of Commerce President Angie Hutton said she was surprised Rauner came to her small town, but it was a good event for the city.

“All the businesses need more support,” Hutton said, hopeful that Rauner, if elected, can help.

Restaurant owner Ismail Ajrulaj said he was sur-

prised Rauner chose Braidwood.

“If you live here you know this is a small, nice and quiet community,” Ajrulaj said, adding that businesses could use more help to grow the economy.

Braidwood Mayor Bill Rulien also said it was nice that a statewide candidate is paying attention to the smaller towns.

“For the towns to prosper, the state has to prosper,” Rulien said.

Rauner urged residents at the restaurant to vote because the election could be very close between him and Gov. Pat Quinn, who he called “the worst governor in America.”

“This is a big team effort,” Rauner said. “We’re going to win this race.”

ROMEOVILLE – The pastor of a church where a volunteer treasurer stole more than $100,000 is satisfied with the sentence issued Monday.

The Rev. Suzanne Anderson-Hurdle said Good Shepherd Lutheran Church “looks forward to moving on” since Deborah Suchomel was sentenced to four years probation and 480 hours of community service after pleading guilty to theft.

Suchomel also brought a check to court for nearly $27,000 – the final amount agreed upon by her attorney and prosecutors, Anderson-Hurdle said.

“She had already made oth-

er payments totaling $56,000 that had been [intermittently] taken and put back, but that did not include any interest or tax penalties,” the pastor said.

Investigators earlier estimated Suchomel, 52, obtained $106,000 between October 2005 and April 2013 while serving as bookkeeper and church council secretary. Suchomel would write checks to herself for cash and the embezzlement wasn’t discovered until last year after the IRS contacted the church about unpaid taxes.

“This was a betrayal against all of us in the church and against me by a close friend,” Anderson-Hurdle said. “I’m very glad we’ll no longer have this taking up so much of the time we should spend on other things.”

Swapadventure was started last year by Angelika Babich and Maggie Pawelko, both of Mount Prospect. The pair established the company when they decided to expand swapping events they would normally hold among their friends and family.

Pawelko said people bring in one bag of items, but can walk away with five bags.

“It’s huge savings for the families to provide and we’re excited about it,” she said.

Families often come to more than one event since each will have different items, Babich said.

Bolingbrook to outsource police, fire dispatch services

By RYAN TERRELL rterrell@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Bolingbrook’s police and fire dispatch services will be outsourced this fall.

The Bolingbrook Village Board voted Tuesday to approve an intergovernmental agreement with the Western Will County Communication Center (WESCOM) to take over the services, a move officials say will net an annual savings of $319,000. WESCOM, considered a unit of local government, is a consolidated dispatch service with 19 member agencies across three counties, primarily Will County.

In addition to the savings, WESCOM offers better technology and a larger staff in the event of critical incidents, officials said. The move also follows the State of Illinois’ pro-consolidation stance, according to Bolingbrook Deputy Police Chief Tom Ross.

“The state has said funding is becoming scarce and that

they prefer that dispatch centers throughout the state start consolidating to save funds,” Ross said.

The agreement calls for Bolingbrook to pay WESCOM $1.13 million for its first year of membership. That figure is based on a projected number of calls the police and fire departments receive annually.

The following years’ fees will be based on call volume as well.

“We anticipate the savings will grow as well, as WESCOM adds more agencies and the costs are spread out even more,” Ross added.

Bolingbrook’s 14 full-time dispatchers and two supervisors will be offered jobs at WESCOM, according to Steve Rauter, executive director of WESCOM. “We’ve outstretched our hand to take as many of them as Bolingbrook can provide,” Rauter said. “We haven’t heard from all of them yet, but several have applied and they seem pretty excited to be coming here.”

Any Bolingbrook employees hired at WESCOM would bring accruals with them, Rauter said, including longevity level for salary purposes, years toward pension and some comp time.

“In some cases they will make more [in compensation], some will make less, but on average it will be very fair and will be a soft landing for them,” he said.

Both entities’ employees are represented by unions.

Currently, the 16 Bolingbrook dispatch employees are represented by AFSCME Council 31.

WESCOM employees are represented by the Metropolitan Alliance of Police.

Maggie Lorenc, a representative of AFSCME Council 31, said the union was opposed to the consolidation, citing concerns about resident safety and staffing at WESCOM, “as one center will be handling calls from 20 agencies.”

In May, the union circulated a petition against the consolidation.

Lorenc said any employees who opt not to pursue employment with WESCOM will be eligible for unemployment.

“WESCOM is a separate employer and the Village of Bolingbrook cannot force them to take employment there. So technically they are eliminating positions and this is a reduction of force,” she said.

WESCOM, formed in 1992 with seven initial agencies, will have a membership of 21 agencies with the addition of Bolingbrook’s fire and police dispatch services.

“It was the brainchild of some [fire] chiefs who are now retired and they came up with the idea after the deadly tornado hit Plainfield in the early ’90s,” Rauter said. “They wanted to do something more cost-effective with dispatch that followed the technology of the day.”

In July, WESCOM opened a 17,000-square-foot facility in Plainfield. Rauter called it a state-of-the-art facility that provides a protected environment

with advanced technology for dispatchers.

“Our ability to stay in service is pretty good. We have two generators, two HVAC systems.

And the place is built to withstand tornadoes,” Rauter said.

Another advantage, Rauter said, is the mutual aid services WESCOM provides for escalated police or fire incidents.

And in the fall, WESCOM is expected to become the first Will County dispatch center to offer a “text to 911” service, he said.

Ross said the prospects of offering a text to 911 service in the community was one of the reasons Bolingbrook’s departments wanted to make the switch.

“It’s an expensive and complex technology,” he said. “It’s especially important for the hearing impaired in the community.”

While both entities have targeted a date of Nov. 1 for the consolidation, Rauter said that date depends on a number of factors, including staffing needs.

Disclaimer: 0% APR for 72 months. Monthly payment is $13.89 for every $1,000 financed. Example down payment: 8.2% of MSRP. Some customers will not qualify. Not compatible with some other offers.

MINOOKA – Minooka village trustees have agreed to pay $199,983 annually for 9-11 communication services to Grundy County – despite nearly unanimous disapproval of a huge jump in the village’s annual contribution.

In a 4-2 vote Tuesday, trustees approved a three-year contract with the county for the service. Trustees Dick Parrish and Barry Thompson voted against the contract while Ray Mason, Dennis Martin, Rudy Martin and Terry Houchens voted in favor.

“While I think this agreement is not good, I am going to vote for it because it’s the best we have,” Houchens said before the vote.

When the consolidated emergency system – which serves four villages, the county and nine fire districts – was put into place three years ago, the county paid for the program strictly through county taxes.

Last year, the county divided up the operating costs among participants and Minooka’s portion was $100,000.

Now that the cost has nearly doubled, the Village Board has major concerns about the program, including the way the county is allocating costs.

Village taxpayers are paying twice for emergency services – through county property taxes and again through village property taxes, Dennis Martin said.

The only exception are residents and industry in unincorporated areas, who only contribute to the system through the county, since they don’t pay village taxes, Thompson said.

Most industrial companies are not in village limits, Dennis Martin said.

“I think the whole taxing mechanism is outrageous,” Houchens said.

While the village’s portion increased almost two-fold, the county’s portion was reduced by $91,000.

The county pays 58.89 per-

cent of the system’s operating budget.

The costs are allocated by calls made to the 9-1-1 system, Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said. But that includes service and event calls; not all calls made to dispatchers are bad.

“If you have an active [police] department, you have a lot of calls,” Meyer said.

The agreement was approved in order to continue receiving services, but the board will explore what other options are available for the future.

Thompson said he warned the board a few years ago to be careful with this particular contract.

“We have no idea what our [future] burden is going to be,” he said.

Houchens said he hopes taxpayers will pay attention to the issue.

“They [the county] pass the buck to municipalities,” he said.

In other board news: • Residents will see an increase in their water and sewer bills beginning in November. Trustees approved a 3 percent increase, in a 6-0 vote, to keep pace with system improvements. Income generated through the service goes back into maintaining wells, pipes, manholes, valves and other equipment, according to village records.

• Trustees approved the issuance of up to $3.4 million in general obligation refunding bonds to save money on interest. Additionally, the ordinance gives Administrator Dan Duffy, Finance Director John Harrington and Mayor Pat Brennan the authority to make a decision when circumstances are right to make the bond issuance without waiting for full board approval.

• Tag Days will be held for two local organizations. The Knights of Columbus have scheduled its collection for Sept. 20 and 21, and the Will County Humane Society is set for Oct. 18. The collection site is on Ridge Road and Mondamin Street.

ILLINOIS News from across the state

Rauner broadens Ag Department patronage criticism

SPRINGFIELD – The GOP candidate for Illinois governor broadened his criticism of state agriculture officials Wednesday, saying the department was “full of cronyism” and has “folks running things that generally don’t have much expertise.”

Winnetka businessman Bruce Rauner’s statements at a forum coordinated by the Illinois Farm Bureau featuring candidates for governor and U.S. Senate follow comments earlier this month that the agency’s director “must have agriculture experience” – a shot at Agriculture Director Bob Flider, a former Democratic lawmaker who was named to the post after he lost a 2010 re-election race for the Illinois House.

Flider had voted, as a lame duck in the House, for Quinn’s 67 percent income-tax increase after earlier opposing it.

“The Department of Agriculture has been decimated,”

lead to 28,000 teacher layoffs, the rival campaign for Illinois governor said Wednesday.

Paul Vallas, Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn’s running mate, presented a by-school-district breakdown of cuts that he said would be required under Rauner’s “Jobs and Growth” agenda, which calls for rolling back Quinn’s temporary, 67 percent tax hike in January from 5 percent to its pre-2011 level of 3 percent – not 3.75 percent, as the law currently reads.

Mike Schrimpf, a spokesman for Rauner, said in an email that Vallas’ figures are “just made up.”

“Bruce will make education a top priority and fully fund our schools. Bruce put forward a jobs and growth plan that will help Illinois recover from years of failed leadership and higher taxes under Pat Quinn,” Schrimpf wrote.

Nov. 4. His campaign accused Durbin Wednesday of limiting free speech, saying Durbin only agreed to one.

Durbin spokesman Ron Holmes says nothing is finalized and campaigns were still in discussions.

He said the emails didn’t include one asking Oberweis’ campaign if they wanted to move forward with proposed dates and the question wasn’t answered.

Holmes adds Oberweis agreed to one debate with his Republican primary challenger.

Cardinal George cancels plans to travel to Rome

CHICAGO – The Archdiocese of Chicago said Cardinal Francis George will not travel to Rome in October to meet with Pope Francis.

Spokeswoman Colleen Dolan said the archbishop of Chicago had hoped to make that trip in mid-October but will not be able to because of medical treatment. She said the trip may be rescheduled.

The 77-year-old George is undergoing treatment for a recurrence of cancer near his right kidney. Last week, the archdiocese announced he was participating in a clinical trial

of an experimental drug at the University of Chicago Medicine.

George said early this year that he believes the cancer eventually will take his life. He survived bladder cancer eight years ago.

Simon touts Bloomington Internet program

BLOOMINGTON – Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon is welcoming Illinois students – who could graduate from college in 2025 – back to school and is highlighting a program providing Internet access to low-income students.

Simon was at Bloomington Junior High School Tuesday to see the school’s one-to-one laptop program. School District 87 Superintendent Barry Reilly showed off the program which provides take-home computers to students and teams up with a local Internet service to give low-income students online access through the district.

Simon, a Democrat, is the state’s point person on education reform.

The year 2025 is the deadline set by education leaders to have 60 percent of working-age adults holding a college degree or certificate.

ROUNDUP

Rauner said. “A lot of the folks with deep expertise have left and been replaced by folks who have been there for other reasons.”

When pressed on specifics, the Rauner campaign pointed to the department’s employment of Shayna Cherry, a former Illinois Department of Transportation employee whose father is an attorney with ties to top Democrats, including Tony Rezko, a former adviser and fundraiser to imprisoned former Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Rezko, like Blagojevich, is serving a sentence in federal prison.

Brooke Anderson, a spokeswoman for Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn’s campaign, responded for the Department of Agriculture. She said it was “false and rather sad that Mr. Rauner would attack a young woman staffer who is doing an excellent job for the state of Illinois.”

Rauner, she added, “is the only one familiar with cronyism and corruption in this race.”

Members of the Jackie Robinson West All Stars Little League baseball team participate Wednesday in a rally celebrating the team’s U.S. Little League Championship in Chicago.

Chicago’s Little League champs return as heroes The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – The ballpark gleams, exactly as the home of the Little League World Series national championship team should.

Free of graffiti and absent so much as a kid’s initials carved in the grandstand benches, Jackie Robinson Park is outfitted with a digital scoreboard and mechanical pitching machines.

It sits in a tidy neighborhood of brick one-story homes and manicured lawns on Chicago’s South Side.

While the words “South Side” are often shorthand beyond Chicago for gangs, shootings and poverty, the people who live here see a more nuanced picture.

“These are middle-class families,” said Jamieson Clay, a relative of Joshua Houston, the pitching and hitting hero of the U.S. championship game. “Ninety percent of the boys have both a mother, and a father at home with them and the fathers are playing a pretty

active role in their sons’ lives.”

The beloved Jackie Robinson West All Stars, Chicago’s first all-black team to claim the national title, autographed T-shirts and posters at the ballpark Wednesday before boarding trolley buses for a parade in their honor. They’re only beginning to realize the impact they’ve had on the city.

“I didn’t know it was going to be like this,” outfielder Darion Radcliff said as he posed for photos. “I feel like a celebrity.”

In the days to come, he and the other players will be held up as models for how to keep vulnerable kids out of trouble.

Radio host Matt McGill said to the crowd at Wednesday’s pre-parade rally, “Look at those kids. You can be a star without a gun in your holster, without a gun in your waistband.”

And before thousands at Millennium Park downtown, Chicago White Sox executive vice president Ken Williams urged kids to “pick up a ball or a glove or a book, a paint stick, a science project [and]

put down the guns.”

Adrian Newell, 59, said at the downtown rally, “You never hear anything positive about little black boys, and these [13] boys did so well, behaved so well, you are just so proud of these kids.”

But some people close to the team chafe at the kids being portrayed as another example of sports rescuing people from dire circumstances.

“This is not some fairy tale about ducking bullets,” said Bill Haley, director of Jackie Robinson West, which his father founded in 1971. “The story is we are the national champions.”

Williams suggested the team might change the perception of Chicago’s youth.

“I had someone pass me by the other day who said, ‘Those boys are so well behaved.’ I said, ‘Yeah, we teach that. The other stuff you see reported, the perception of what’s happening in Chicago? That ain’t us. These young men gave you a glimpse into who we really are.’ ”

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The White House is crafting a blame-iton-Congress legal justification to back up President Barack Obama’s impending executive actions on immigration.

Facing an expected onslaught of opposition, the administration plans to argue that Congress failed to provide enough resources to fully enforce U.S. laws, thereby ceding wide latitude to White House to prioritize deportations of the 11.5 million people who

are in the country illegally, administration officials and legal experts said. But Republicans, too, are exploring their legal options for stopping Obama from what they’ve deemed egregious presidential overreaching.

A self-imposed, end-of-summer deadline to act on immigration is rapidly approaching. While Obama has yet to receive the formal recommendations he has requested from Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, administration officials said the president is intimately familiar with the

universe of options and won’t spend much time deliberating once Johnson delivers his recommendations.

After resisting calls to act alone in hopes Congress would pass a comprehensive immigration fix, Obama in June bowed to immigration activists and said that “if Congress will not do their job, at least we can do ours.” The most sweeping, controversial step under consideration involves halting deportation for millions, a major expansion of a 2012 Obama program that deferred prosecutions for those brought here

illegally as children.

About half a million have benefited from that program – known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. But while prosecutors routinely are expected to use their discretion on a case-by-case basis, such blanket exempting of entire categories of people has never been done on the scale of what Obama is considering – potentially involving many millions of people if he extends relief to parents of DACA children, close relatives of U.S. citizens or immigrants with clean criminal records.

“The question is: How broadly can the president extend the categories and still stay on the side of spectrum of ensuring the laws are faithfully executed?” said Cristina Rodriguez, who left the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel in 2013 to teach at Yale Law School.

Other options under consideration, such as changes to how green cards are distributed and counted, might be less controversial because of the support they enjoy from the business community and other influential groups.

Donors have given nearly $700,000 to online fundraising sites set up to collect money for the family of a black teen and the white police officer who fatally shot him in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson.

The Michael Brown Memorial Fund has raised almost $280,000 from more than 9,300 people in 13 days. Two sites supporting police officer Darren Wilson have taken in nearly $410,000 from nearly 10,000 contributors. The donations have come through the site GoFundMe.com.

The money collected for the Brown family is meant to defray funeral, burial, travel and living expenses “as they seek justice on Michael’s behalf.”

None of the donations is to go toward the family’s legal fees.

Public rallies in support of Wilson have been far smaller than the street demonstrations to protest Brown’s death. But the contributions on the officer’s behalf have eclipsed the online donations to the Browns. An early GoFundMe. com page raised $234,900 within eight days and was replaced by another page that has collected more than $175,000. The page said money is to be spent on “potential legal fees, relocation and living expenses” of Wilson and his immediate family.

Insurers can no longer reject customers with expensive medical conditions thanks to the health care overhaul. But consumer advocates warn that companies are still using wiggle room to discourage the sickest – and costliest – patients from enrolling.

Some insurers are excluding well-known cancer centers from the list of providers they cover under a plan; requiring patients to make large, initial payments for HIV medications; or delaying participation in public insurance exchanges created by the overhaul.

Advocates and industry insiders say these practices may dissuade the neediest from signing up and make it likelier customers these insurers do serve will be healthier, and less expensive.

“It’s the same insurance companies that are up to the same strategies: Take in as much premium as possible and pay out as little as possible,” said Jerry Flanagan, an attorney with the advocacy group Consumer Watchdog.

There are three major ways insurers might steer sick or expensive patients away from their coverage:

Insurers can lower their chances for covering patients with expensive medical conditions like cancer and autism simply by limiting the number of doctors and hospitals in a coverage network.

That would send those patients searching for coverage elsewhere because they don’t want to pay expensive, out-ofnetwork rates.

Cold cash washes in from ALS challenge

By ALLEN G. BREED The Associated Press In the two hours it took an official from the ALS Association to return a reporter’s call for comment, the group’s ubiquitous “ice bucket challenge” had brought in a few million more dollars.

Approaching $100 million, the viral fundraising campaign for the ailment better known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease has put the ALS group into the top ranks for medical charity donations. Since the end of July, the money has been sloshing in at a rate of about $9 million a week.

Last year, from July 29 to Aug. 26, the group raised just $2.6 million.

It’s caught everyone offguard, none more so than the ALS Association folks.

But they know this is likely

a one-off phenomenon, and the group now faces the task of spending all that money wisely. Research, care and advocacy are the group’s three main missions – but officials say they don’t know yet exactly how they’ll use the astonishing windfall.

This campaign hasn’t exactly put the charity in the same neighborhood as such giants as the American Cancer Society, the American Heart Association or Susan G. Komen for the Cure – which raised $889 million, $529 million and $310 million last year, respectively. But it’s moving into the same ZIP code now.

Jonah Berger, author of the book “Contagious: Why Things Catch On,” says it’s like a modern-day chain letter – except, in this case, everyone will know if you break the chain.

PRESCRIPTION STICKER SHOCK Some plans require patients to initially pay 30 percent or more of the bill for drugs that can cost several thousand dollars a month.

The overhaul caps the annual amounts patients must pay for these so-called out-ofpocket expenses. Still, some say the higher cost-sharing requirements can steer patients that need these medications away from enrolling.

ENTER MARKETS CAUTIOUSLY Another way is by playing the waiting game. The nation’s largest health insurer, UnitedHealth Group Inc., plans to sell 2015 individual coverage in 24 exchanges. UnitedHealth’s delayed growth could be a savvy way to avoid some of the sickest patients who likely rushed to sign up for insurance in the initial year of the exchanges, industry observers say.

Grim stalemate at war’s end

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, August 28, 2014

By DAN PERRY The Associated Press TEL AVIV, Israel – The third Gaza War in six years appears to have ended in another sort of tie, with both Israel and Hamas claiming the upper hand. Their questionable achievements have come at a big price, especially to long-suffering Palestinians.

In a sense, Israel got what it wanted: Hamas stopped firing rockets in exchange for mostly vague promises and future talks. But the cost to Israel was huge: Beyond the 70 people killed – all but six of them soldiers – the economy has been set back, the tourism season destroyed, its people rattled for 50 days, and its global standing pummeled by images of devastation in Gaza.

Prime Minister Benjamin

Malaysia Airlines set for shakeup

Netanyahu faces bristling from people who sense that Hamas controlled events and could not have its grip loosened on the Gaza Strip, which it seized by force from the Palestinian Authority in 2007. Around the corner lie international investigations into war crimes allegations.

Hamas is celebrating its success after surviving Israel’s far superior firepower. The Islamic militants’ rocket fire emptied a string of Israeli border communities and disrupted Tel Aviv’s international airport. Weak a few months ago, it may emerge as more of a player in Palestinian politics, and the plight of Gazans is again atop the world’s concerns.

It also paid dearly: 2,143 Palestinians were killed, including nearly 500 children

and hundreds of militants.

The U.N. estimates the war destroyed or severely damaged 17,200 homes and left 100,000 Palestinians homeless, with considerable swaths of Gaza in rubble. Hamas’ rocket arsenal is depleted, and many of its attack tunnels against Israel have been destroyed.

The region is unpredictable. But as it seems this cease-fire may stick, here are a couple preliminary lessons:

FORCE WORKED? For 50 days, Hamas stuck to its rockets. Israel started with carefully targeted destruction of sites, but steadily escalated its strikes. It razed neighborhoods and killed top militants. This week, Israel destroyed whole apartment towers. Hamas’ fight was at first genuinely supported by

Gazans desperate for an end to the embargo of the strip

by Israel and Egypt – a policy largely meant to squeeze out Hamas. But in the end, probably sensing the population couldn’t take more, Hamas accepted a deal that does not differ much from the first Egyptian cease-fire proposal offered in mid-July and accepted then by Israel.

PALESTINIAN RESILIENCE Gazans are hardly free to oppose Hamas’ rule, but it was striking how much more pressure there was on Netanyahu to find a way to end the war.

Also striking: the differing view of combatant deaths: At Hamas funerals, the mood bordered on celebratory; in Israel, soldiers’ deaths brought national bereavement, limiting Netanyahu’s options.

Mother of U.S. reporter in Syria pleads for his life

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

By DIAA HADID and JOHN HEILPRIN

HONG KONG – Malaysia is preparing to unveil the latest overhaul of its beleaguered state-owned airline, which is reeling from twin disasters months apart that killed hundreds of passengers.

Khazanah Nasional, the state investment company that owns 69 percent of Malaysia Airlines, said in early August it will announce details of the overhaul by the end of this month.

Analysts expect Khazanah to cut jobs, drop money losing routes to Europe and China, and replace top management.

A substantial revamp has long been on the cards for the company, which was struggling with chronic financial problems even before it was hit by the double disasters this year: the disappearance of Flight 370 over the Indian Ocean with 239 aboard; and the shoot-down of Flight 17 over the Ukraine and loss of 298 people.

The Associated Press BEIRUT – The mother of a hostage American journalist pleaded for his release Wednesday in a video directed at the Islamic State group, while new images emerged of mass killings, including masked militants shooting kneeling men after the capture of an air base in Syria.

Shirley Sotloff’s plea came as a U.N. commission accused the group, which dominates a broad swath of territory spanning the Syria-Iraq border, of committing crimes against humanity and President Barack Obama weighs options for targeting the extremists’ stronghold in Syria.

The Islamic State militants have threatened to kill 31-year-old Steven Sotloff unless the U.S. halts its airstrikes against it.

Sotloff, who freelanced for Time and Foreign Policy magazines, had last been seen in Syria in August 2013 until he appeared in a video released online last week by the Islamic State group showing the beheading of fellow American journalist, James Foley.

Sotloff was threatened with death unless the U.S. Shirley stopped air Sotloff strikes on the group in Iraq.

Mother of Addressa hostage ing the leader American of the Islamic journalist State group by name, Shirley Sotloff said her son was “an innocent journalist” who shouldn’t pay for U.S. government actions in the Middle East over which he has no control.

Appealing directly to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who describes

himself as a caliph, or Islamic leader intending to lead the Muslim world, she implored him to show mercy and follow the example of the prophet Muhammad.

“You, the caliph, can grant amnesty. I ask you, please, to release my child. I ask you to use your authority to spare his life,” Shirley Sotloff said on the video, which was first aired on the Al-Arabiya television network.

It was widely retweeted

by Islamic State supporters later Wednesday with her face blurred because their ultra-conservative interpretation of Islam prohibits showing a woman’s face.

White House, spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters he did not know if Obama had seen Sotloff’s video appeal, but he said the administration was “deeply engaged” in trying to gain release of all Americans held hostage.

Official: Ebola outbreak to worsen

By CLARENCE ROY-MACAULAY and JONATHAN PAYE-LAYLEH The Associated Press FREETOWN, Sierra Leone – A third top doctor has died from Ebola in Sierra Leone, a government official said Wednesday, as a leading American health official warned that the outbreak sweeping West Africa would get worse.

The disease already has killed more than 1,400 people in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone, and Doctors Without Borders warned that the tremendous influx of patients in Liberia, in particular, is overwhelming their treatment centers there.

“I wish I didn’t have to say this, but it is going get worse before it gets better,” Dr. Tom Frieden, the director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said of the outbreak at the end of a visit to Liberia, where he described the situation as dire.

Liberia has recorded the highest number of cases and deaths of any of the four countries. Doctors Without Borders said in a statement that a new treatment center recently opened in the country’s capital with 120 beds filled up almost immediately.

The tremendous number of patients means that the medical charity is not able to provide those patients with intravenous treatments, a primary way doctors keep people who are losing a tremendous amount of fluid alive.

The group did not mention Frieden’s visit or recent U.N. ones, but it said discussions happening now about international coordination are coming too late and that there are countries that could make a dramatic difference if they provided more expertise and resources.

OPINION

ANOTHER VIEW

Government broken, Obama reverts to orders At least one obvious conclusion may be drawn from a recent story examining President Obama’s increasingly aggressive use of executive orders to enact his agenda, and it is this: Government is broken.

Whether Obama’s actions are part of that or a consequence of it – the answer is probably both – is irrelevant to the larger problem. Washington does not function, and the only thing to do about it is elect better people – something that voters seem strangely loath to do.

And yet, the evidence is clear. As one story in Tuesday’s Buffalo News showed, Obama is – or is perceived to be – distant from members of Congress, even those of his own party. Without the glad-handing, arm-twisting abilities of an FDR or a Ronald Reagan, his ability to persuade Congress to act on his agenda has been curtailed.

That’s a problem, though hardly unique to Obama or insurmountable. Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and other previous occupants of the White House also had trouble working with Congress. Yet things got done.

Add to Obama’s weaknesses, however, the mood of a surly and indifferent faction of Congress that is focused only on two goals: cutting government at any cost and opposing Obama, who, for reasons good or bad, they despise.

That’s the game-changer.

Previous Congresses, even in politically divided times, managed to accomplish valuable goals and find areas of common ground, even if sometimes unwillingly. A Democratic Congress cut taxes at the urging of Ronald Reagan. Bill Clinton reformed welfare at the urging of Republicans in Congress. Richard Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency.

But Obama and this Congress, controlled by tea party Republicans in the House and greatly influenced by the threat – and chronic use – of filibusters in the Senate, have done almost nothing to find common ground.

The obvious example is immigration reform. Polls show most Americans, including Republicans, in favor of it. Obama has pushed for a workable compromise and, under bipartisan Senate leadership, a reasonable bill was crafted. But the House would have nothing to do with it, even blocking a vote on the legislation.

What, then, should be the president’s – any president’s – response? Throw up his hands or take what actions he can? The problems are severe, after all, and have developed crisis aspects, particularly in the number of children crossing the southern border to escape danger in their own countries.

See BROKEN, page 21

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

When not looking is not an option News out of Iraq alone is enough to tempt most Americans to never read the paper again. But if you go to the celebrity pages for some kind of escape, you’ve been out of luck there as well, as they’ve been dominated by suicide and divorce.

But then I see a woman taking to lunch a homeless man whom she in the back of an urban church. You read the stories of courage and faith under fire. To Westerners living fairly free and comfortable lives, the story of elderly Iraqi Christians refusing to convert to Islam under threat of death should keep us from looking away.

And then, of course, there is the news here at home.

Marriage, the bedrock of a healthy society, is a lightning rod of an issue, to say the very

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez least. A recent report from the Heritage Foundation indicates that, since the 1960s, the marriage rate in America has dropped by about 50 percent.

As W. Bradford Wilcox notes in the report, “The nation’s retreat from marriage means ... that about half of the nation’s children will spend some time outside an intact, married home.”

Still, as everywhere, it isn’t entirely bad news. The Heritage report also notes that, from 2002 to 2012, “the violent crime rate declined by 107.5 crimes per 100,000 people, or 21.7 percent.” Among the

explanations Heather Mac Donald points to is the system that New York implemented in 1994: “rigorous data analysis, strict accountability for local commanders, the enforcement of quality of life offenses and proactive pedestrians stops intended to avert crime before it happens.”

At the same time, charities, ministries and legislative prison reform must increase the accountability and humanity of our dysfunctional penal system. When we pay for an environment where a man or woman has no sense of his own dignity – whatever he’s done – and becomes hardened to survive, we’re asking for trouble, as individuals and especially as a society.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

See LOPEZ, page 21

Continued from page 20

An executive order is not an ideal outcome.

Perhaps a more persuasive president would have been able to negotiate better with Congress, but it’s doubtful. Tea party Republicans are a different breed: absolutist and utterly unwilling to compromise.

Perhaps the system will work yet. Historically, when one party or the other gets out of line, voters give them a slap and they come back chastened, as Democrats did when Clinton was elected. Today, everything is out of line. Congress refuses to deal with serious issues, prompting Obama – for better or worse – to go it alone, raising all the risks that secret negotiations can threaten.

Will it all be enough for Americans to demand that their elected officials start dealing seriously with the serious issues before them? Frankly, it’s hard to be hopeful, but hope, right now, is about all there is.

The Heritage report also points to the drop in the abortion rate over the last decade.

The year 2011 saw the lowest number of abortions since 1973, when abortion became legal.

Most of us, whatever we think of the legality of abortion, know it is not a positive thing – or Bill Clinton wouldn’t have famously talked about it being “safe, legal and rare.” The former president could even celebrate that despite having among the most permissive abortion laws in the world, abortion is on the decline in this country.

Here, too, we could afford to step away from the same old debates and come together to

– The Buffalo News

support the work of maternity homes. About a year ago, I was speaking at a fundraiser for Good Counsel homes in New York; seeing an ad on National Review Online for the event, a pro-choice writer made a donation – because the likes of Good Counsel help scared and struggling mothers.

There’s confusion over the death of James Foley, the journalist beheaded in Syria by ISIL. But we do know this: He wrote for his alumni magazine about the power of prayer. Writing about time he spent being held in prison in Libya: “I began to pray the rosary. It was what my mother and grandmother would have prayed. I said 10 Hail Marys between each Our Father.

It took a long time, almost an hour to count 100 Hail Marys off on my knuckles. And it helped to

keep my mind focused.” He was given a treasure by his family, and he kept some faith.

A Rosary or the Lord’s Prayer – in times of trouble and in thanksgiving – are links to higher things, destinations and ambitions beyond ourselves that have the power to make us better together. Even in the midst of terror, if we keep watering the seeds of faith, hope and love, grace abides and light can be seen. As long as we keep looking, and keep from looking away.

Bolingbrook tops H-N preseason rankings Wilmington Wildcats our No. 1 choice among area’s smaller schools VIEWS Dick Goss The approach of the high school football season, which kicks off Friday night, is filled with anticipation.

Along that line, fans want to know how their team will stack up against their opponents and against other teams in the area. We at The Herald-News will get involved in satisfying that appetite as we present our area rankings.

Beginning here with the preseason rankings and continuing each week through the season, we will rank our large schools – those that will fall into Class 5A through 8A come playoff time – 1 through 10. We also will rank our three best smaller schools.

With preseason rankings, of course, it’s a bit of a shot in the dark. You may have a feel for how good each team will be, but until the firing begins, all the elements have not been included in the equation.

As the weeks go by, a major difficulty becomes determining how “good losses” or “unimpressive victories” should figure in.

Here’s an example of the former. Suppose Joliet Catholic and Providence have a great game the opener at Memorial Stadium. Both of the two meetings between them have been exciting, with Providence winning, 40-34, in 2012 and JCA prevailing, 42-35, in 2013.

If the final score Friday is something similar, do the losers deserve to drop in the rankings and be passed up by a team or two that won their opener? Likewise, if we are a few weeks into the season and a certain team is 4-0 but hasn’t played much quality competition, does that team deserve to be among the top teams in the area just because it is 4-0?

Whenever you do rankings, those are the kinds of questions that come up. Still, fans love to see how we feel

their teams stack up, then let us know in no uncertain terms how wrong we are.

Against that background, here are our preseason rankings: 1. Bolingbrook: Lots of Division I players on defense, a veteran offensive line and talent at the skill positions.

Plus, a guy named Dan Dar-

lington running the offense for coach John Ivlow.

2. Joliet Catholic: Offensive line and defense are potential strong points. Just because most of the skill players are relative unknowns, don’t think they can’t play.

3. Providence: Imagine this offense if an inexperienced offensive line gives quarter-

back Justin Hunniford time to get the ball to Miles Boykin, Nate Vejvoda, et al.

4. Lincoln-Way East: Mike Weller will be an exciting quarterback. Not as many big names in the Griffins’ arsenal, but they’re athletic, always well coached and haven’t missed the playoffs yet.

5. Lincoln-Way West: The

Warriors have established themselves as a winning program. Adam Knerr and Gabe Montalvo are ready to take their turn at the crucial running back slot.

6. Plainfield North: The Tigers figure to be strong offensively and are a candidate to win the Southwest Prairie title.

7. Lincoln-Way Central: The Knights are senior-dominated and poised to take the next step under Hud Venerable.

Enemy defenses must beware of Central’s no-huddle attack.

8. Plainfield East: The Bengals have several quality starters back from their playoff run of a year ago. They and Plainfield North figure into the Southwest Prairie race.

9. Romeoville: Coach Jeff Kuna is excited about quarterback Kelvin Jones, running back Gil Whitaker and receiver Chuck Hunter.

He feels they are among the top players in the area.

10. Joliet West: Just a hunch that even with the graduation of some outstanding skill players, the Tigers are on the right path and ready to take it up a notch.

As for the small schools: 1. Wilmington: The Wildcats open against Sandwich and Coal City, which will be difficult. But they should be a typically solid Wilmington team.

2. Coal City: The Coalers are building around a strong offensive line and the return of quality running back Jack Dibble from two ACL injuries.

3. Peotone: The Blue Devils lost a lot from their Interstate Eight Large championship team, but the players have learned plenty about winning.

Finally, if you are a fan of one of the teams not mentioned in our preseason rankings, take heart. Rest assured that at least a couple teams that are not there now will be during the season.

That especially applies to the top 10 large schools.

MOTHER McAULEY 2, JOLIET CATHOLIC 0 (25-23, 25-10)

25

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

• Thursday, August 28, 2014

JOLIET – Joliet Catholic lost a girls volleyball match Wednesday night in the Student Activity Center.

In the process, however, the Angels might have begun building a season.

Mighty Mother McAuley, ranked No. 3 in the nation and the defending Class 4A state champion, opened its season with a 25-23, 25-18 victory. But from the Angels’ perspective, it was a good night nonetheless.

“We showed a lot of potential,” JCA senior setter Mary Murphy said.

“We’re head and shoulders above where we were last year at this time.

“We played them to a 23-25 first game. If we can do that now, I can’t imagine what we will be like by the last game of the season.”

The Angels began their season with a 25-20, 25-22 victory Monday at Stagg.

Murphy said they definitely played better Wednesday.

“Even though the scoreboard shows that we lost, in a lot of ways we also won,” she said. “That’s the way we feel walking out of here.”

Murphy totaled six kills and four assists. Madeline Grimm chipped in four kills. Maddie Naal contributed five blocks and Jessica Simon had three to go with four assists. Keegan Fornoff added three assists and Megan Melone had six digs.

Contributions indeed came from everywhere as the Angels (1-1) did what coach Christine Scheibe had hoped they would. They competed.

“This most definitely was a good night,” she said. “We competed hard.

That was the No. 1 thing I wanted to see us do.

“We did some nice things. We got touches on some of their balls. We were able to run an offense. We did not get clean kills that much, but we were using our hands nicely.”

Scheibe, who is still working on establishing a consistent starting lineup, echoed Murphy’s comments about how much further along the Angels are now than they were at this time a year ago.

“We saw some players come off the bench and make contributions who I have confidence in now,” she said. “I thought Brenna Garland came in off the bench and did a great job passing the ball. I’m proud of the way she played.

“We have some work to do on defense, for sure. But as a team, we did what I expected tonight and maybe a little better.”

Hitting, net and serving errors hampered both sides in Game 1, when nei-

However, McAuley got back within 22-20 as an Angel slipped down going for a dig, and the Mighty Macs then finished the game on a 6-1 run.

In Game 2, McAuley began relying more on 5-foot-11 hitter Kelsey Clark, and she delivered. Her work was instrumental in the Mighty Macs having runs of six, three and four points in building a 19-12 lead that JCA could not overcome.

‘The Angels got no closer than 19-

15 and 21-17 down the stretch, “They had a lot of momentum after the first game,” Murphy said. “She (Clark) is very good. But we came back and played well after we got behind.

“There were definitely a couple of screw-ups on our part that I’m sure will be worked on at practice. We were beating ourselves some. But we played well overall.”

Scheibe said any of the 15 players on her roster could be a starter.

“I’m a creature of habit and like to have the same group out there every time, but we’re not to that point yet,” she said. “I just told the girls that any of them could be in the starting lineup.”

“We’re very deep this year,” Murphy said. “Really deep.”

BOYS SOCCER: MINOOKA 1, LOCKPORT 1

Minooka scores late to earn draw

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Thursday, August 28, 2014

26

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – A lot of things can happen during the final moments of a soccer match, as both Minooka and Lockport learned again Wednesday.

With the Porters nursing a 1-0 lead entering the 80th minute of the season opener for both squads, the Indians capitalized on a dead ball opportunity to salvage a 1-1 draw.

Chris Drey scored on a header off a well-placed free kick from Mason Messina with just 37 seconds remaining to help the hosts overcome a frustrating afternoon in which they were denied by a trio of Porter keepers – Justin DeYoung, Jacob Krawczyk and Brian Moore.

“I got a great pass from Mason, and I just flicked it,” said Drey, who shares captain’s duties with Luke St. Paul, David Esparza and Messina.

“It was a smart kick, and he just lobbed it up so that anyone could have gotten it. We have a really good team, and we keep fighting.

We have a young team, but they’re ready to work every day. I’m excited about the season.”

In the final 40 minutes, Minooka’s Kyle Sparks was denied on a liner, and Messina’s subsequent free kick also was thwarted. A bit later, a throw-in from Noah St. Paul to Miguel Quiroz nearly led to a score, but the effort was thwarted by a diving save.

Sparks was frustrated a few other times around the half’s midpoint, and then Luke St. Paul experienced similar dejection in the final minutes on a pair of attempts.

The Porters tried to add to their lead in the late going, but Minooka keeper Noah Jawdat stopped a long effort from Chris Monte and then halted a liner by Jack Dilger.

“There weren’t too many positives from this game,” Porters coach Chris Beal said. “But the goalkeepers were kind of our shining light, and they really stepped up. They know that there’s a three-way competition, and I think that all three of them did well tonight. They’re

“Our guys fight back to the end, even though guys were cramping up late. This is what high school soccer is all about.”

Chris Brolley Lockport boys soccer coach very close in ability, and they push each other in their training and support each other, too.”

DeYoung started the match, and he was replaced

by Krawczyk, with Moore stepping in for the last part of the contest. The unique three-way competition in the net is a luxury that many teams would enjoy having, and the trio is also happy to be part of it.

“The three of us are having a goalie competition, but it’s good-natured and we’re all rooting each other on in order to get the best man in the starting spot,” DeYoung said. “We’re lucky to have three really good keepers,

and we were all looking to have a good game, and we all did. Most of us on the team have been playing together for years, so we’re all closeknit.”

In the opening half of the match – which was delayed a day due to heavy rains – Minooka withstood a few early threats before responding with good tries from Sparks, Noah St. Paul and Luke St. Paul before the Porters grabbed the early lead.

Angelo DeMarco found Dilger, who had gotten free, and he placed an attempt over on-rushing keeper Jawdat, who came up with a big stop on a close-range try by David Kordaczka shortly before the break.

“It was a fun game,” Indians coach Chris Brolley said.

“It bounced back and forth. We made a couple of saves and they made a couple. Our guys fight back to the end, even though guys were cramping up late. This is what high school soccer is all about.

“We have a great group of guys, and they’re led by our captains and seniors, who do it the right way.”

AREA ROUNDUP

Hamilton rolls to win STARS feature SUBMITTED REPORTS MORRIS – Nothing – not even a torrential downpour that briefly delayed the start – could stop Kyle Hamilton during last weekend’s D’Arcy GMC Pavement Nationals presented by Bell Helmets at Grundy County Speedway.

Hamilton claimed his fifth fast qualifying time in five STARS appearances this season.

The quick lap also set a new STARS record as he collected his record ninth fast qualifying time in his career with the series.

In the first heat, Hamilton got to the front from his sixth starting spot and picked up his first career heat race win

in STARS action.

Plainfield’s Nick Baran, who was gunning for his shot at coming one step closer to taking the $2,000 bonus for winning the “Safety-Kleen Triple Crown,” won the second heat.

Three-time UMARA champion David Gough and current STARS National Midget series point leader Austin Prock led the 17-car field to the green flag in the 50-lap feature.

Gough got the jump on Prock at the start. While Gough was pacing the field, Hamilton methodically picked his way through the field one by one.

On the 15th lap, Hamilton got on the inside of Prock

while entering Turn 3, and it resulted in the two waging in a side-by-side battle for the next two laps. On the 17th lap, Hamilton cleared Prock heading down the back straightaway and then dove to the low side in Turn 3 to overtake the top spot from Gough.

From that point forward, it was all Hamilton, who led the remaining 32 laps to take his third win of the season and the seventh victory of his STARS career in his 14th feature start. That puts him second on the series’ all-time win list.

Behind Hamilton at the finish line were Prock, Kyle O’Gara, Nick Hamilton and Tyler Baran.

The win gave Hamilton the first sweep of qualifying, heat race and feature in STARS National Midget history.

BOYS SOCCER Lincoln-Way West 4, Illiana Christian 2: Dan Petrou collected three goals to lead the Warriors in their opener. Justin Yaeger had a goal and an assist, Zack Pavlovich added two assists and Mark Zambrano also assisted on a score.

Bears receiver Chris Williams (left) runs for a touchdown past Philadelphia cornerback Jaylen Watkins on Aug. 8 at Soldier Field. them better.”

The problem is if they don’t have the talent to get it done.

Chris Williams was signed off the Saints’ practice squad after starring as a return man and receiver in Canada. He looked good at receiver early in camp; but before we could even see him return kicks, he pulled a hamstring on a 73-yard catch and run against the Eagles.

DeCamillis was asked who his kickoff return man would be in the final exhibition in Cleveland.

“Well, obviously we’d like to see Chris Williams, see what he can do. Senorise (Perry) took a couple of reps last week, which were positive – I think he averaged 25.7,” DeCamillis said.

“Those two are probably the ones who are going to get most of the reps on kickoff return.”

If Williams can return at the NFL level, can the extremely undersized 5-foot8, 170-pound receiver stay on the field?

Perry is an undrafted rookie free agent running back out of Louisville, who only makes the team as a running back if the Bears cut Ka’Deem Carey or Tony Fiammetta, which isn’t likely to happen.

The Bears don’t want a returner without a position.

“Yes, Chris (Williams) would be in the equation, along with Micheal Spurlock

– and Spurlock is also in the equation on kickoff return, too, by the way,” DeCamillis said when asked who the favorite was.

There’s no way Spurlock makes the team as anything more than a fifth wideout.

And even that’s unlikely if the Bears carry five, and Williams is now pretty much in the same boat.

What will the Bears do on coverage?

The Bears are clearly planning on potential starters Chris Conte, Ryan Mundy, Danny McCray, Kyle Fuller, Shea McClellin and Jon Bostic to answer the bell in coverage.

While it’s not unusual to have a couple starters covering kicks, that many would be almost unheard of.

There are two questions here that beg answers from either Phil Emery or Marc Trestman, or both. The first is: What really was the plan, and why it is so unsettled so late in the game?

The second is: Is it possible the problem is that the bottom third of this roster, where core special teams folks should come from, isn’t as talented as it was one, two or three years ago?

We don’t have the answers yet, but you certainly have to ask.

JOLIET – Joliet Slammers manager Jeff Isom sat in his office before Tuesday’s game against the Florence Freedom and took the blame for a disappointing season.

“That’s one thing I like about independent ball,” Isom said. “When we’re not winning, you can point the finger right here at me.”

As the Slammers’ firstyear field manager, Isom also is in charge of stocking the roster. Some of the players he brought in did not work out.

The Frontier League season will conclude when the current home stand ends next Thursday. The Slammers entered Wednesday night’s game against Florence with a 34-54 record and not in contention for a playoff berth. That hardly was the plan.

“Right away this season, we got behind on a daily basis,” Isom said. “I said I thought the bullpen was our strength, but we didn’t keep it close for five innings often enough. Then we had to use the pen a lot, and it didn’t last the way I thought it would.

“Next year, we’re going to find some bulldogs to put out there on the mound. That’s our Christmas list, you might say.”

What the Slammers needed was more starting pitchers like Frontier League All-Star left-hander Blair Walters, who is 6-1 with a 2.68 ERA at A-Advanced Lynchburg since being signed by the Atlanta Braves.

Isom has decided that a way to find some of those bulldogs is to open spring training to more players.

“We had only about 28 or 30 guys coming into camp this year,” Isom said. “Next year, we will have more. I was always against doing that, but I have changed my thinking.

Competing for roster spots

“I said I thought the bullpen was our strength, but we didn’t keep it close for five innings often enough.”

Jeff Isom Slammers manager

could be good.”

The inevitable independent league roster turnover began immediately for the Slammers and has continued.

Isom managed the Lake Erie Crushers to the Frontier League championship series last year, and he said he made maybe eight roster moves all season. “I think we had eight the first two weeks here,” he added.

On the bright side, Isom and the Slammers recently “have brought in some good guys,” he said. “Some of these guys are playing for jobs with us next year.

“We’re excited about next season. We’ll hit the ground running.”

At the same time, the Slammers plan to win as many games as possible in the final week of the season.

“We’re still looking at the standings on a daily basis,” Isom said. “We talk to the players daily about this, that we want to finish as high as we can.”

At 34-54, the Slammers entered Wednesday’s action in sixth place in the Frontier League East. Windy City (3156) fell to the basement after being swept by Joliet last weekend. Rockford (36-52) is fifth and within the Slammers’ sights.

“In general, we’re looking to finish strong,” Isom said.

“For the players we have, give us a reason to bring you back.”

Over the past 10 seasons, Bears fans have been spoiled. The Bears have been among the top five specialty unit teams in the NFL for a decade, and we’ve all taken it for granted.

Devin Hester is the greatest return man in the history of the NFL, and he did it all as a Bear over eight seasons.

Now, due to the salary cap and the Bears’ reluctance to devote a roster spot to a specialist without a position on offense or defense, Hester is an Atlanta Falcon.

Patrick Mannelly is one of the best long snappers in the history of the NFL and is now retired and beginning a career as an all-sports talk show host on 670-AM the SCORE. The Bears top seven special teams tacklers last year in order were Blake Costanzo, Craig Steltz, Sherrick McManis, Eric Weems, Anthony Walters, Dante Rosario and Michael Ford.

All but McManis and Rosario are gone.

Through an entire offseason, training camp and three exhibition games, the Bears have found no answers.

Is it just a bit disconcerting and unusual to be this uncertain about your special teams this close to the season? Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis takes the high road.

“I’m glad it’s happening now instead of during the season, to be honest with you. Looking at it from the positive viewpoint is, we’re getting things that we don’t want to have happen during the regular season. We can identify them and we can correct them. Sometimes you get a false sense in the regular season going in to where you’re not sure where the problems are coming from. I think our guys will rally to it and we’re going to get better. I’m going to coach

By JOE KAY The Associated Press CINCINNATI – Skip Schumaker drove in a pair of runs with a double and a single on Wednesday night, and the Cincinnati Reds withstood Jorge Soler’s firstat-bat homer and his RBI single for a 7-5 victory over the Cubs.

Soler, a 22-year-old prospect from Cuba, was called up Wednesday after getting a nine-year, $30 million deal from the Cubs in 2012. He started in right field and batted fifth.

After Luis Valbuena led off the second inning with a homer off Mat Latos (5-3), Soler hit a 2-1 pitch into the Reds’ bullpen in center field.

The last Cub to homer in his first at-bat also did it in Cincinnati – Starlin Castro off Homer Bailey on May 7, 2010.

Soler also had an RBI single off Jonathan Broxton in the eighth, cutting it to 6-5.

The Cubs’ Jorge Soler hits a pop fly for an out in the fourth inning Wednesday against the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati. Soler was making his major league debut.

Latos pitched into the eight and gave up four runs while fanning a season-high 10 batters.

Pinch-hitter Chris Heisey homered in the bottom of the inning. Aroldis Chapman escaped a two-on threat in the ninth, getting his 28th save in 30 chances.

Jacob Turner (4-8) made his first start for the Cubs

and lasted only 32⁄3 innings, giving up six runs – three of them unearned.

The Reds took advantage of three Cub errors and ended their four-game winning streak, one shy of their season high.

The Reds are 24-10 against the Cubs over the past two years, including 10-5 this season.

Kings and queens for a week Minooka man brings joy of summer camp to foster kids

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND

dunland@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – When Keenan Kuzma, 16, lived in Minooka, his guardian Jane Kuzma sent him to Royal Family Kids Camp – less for the summertime activities and more for the eternal benefits this camp offers foster children.

“It gave the kids a week being surrounded by pure love, without worries,” said Jane Kuzma, who has sent her other foster children to the same camp. “They really do treat them like kings and queens. The staff really do care for them.”

Although the family now lives in Missouri, Keenan returned to Joliet this year as a volunteer, a way of saying “thank you” for great childhood memories, he said. His sister, Reanna Kuzma, 15, will do likewise next year, she said.

“I grew in leadership because so many people encouraged me,” Reanna said, adding that she takes an active role in her church because of those camp experiences.

Why would children in foster care need a special camp?

Because many of these campers have experienced unbelievable abuse and neglect, said Mark T. Fleming of Minooka, father of three children ages 9, 6 and 5 months. He is a former foster parent, current assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction at Will County School District 92 in Lockport, and director for Royal Family Kids Camp 188.

“When you sit down with them, hear their stories ... you know there is evil in the world,” Fleming said.

This year – Fleming’s eighth camp – the Royal Family Kids Camp 188 had 55 kids ages 7 to 11. Because these children are in foster care, their names, as well as the actual camp site, is private,

Campers hang out at the water waiting for a turn on the paddle boats and tube machine.

Fleming said.

But the Royal Family Kids Camp is more than another Christian camp with the usual camp activities, although camp activities are an important part of the experience.

“We might have an 11-yearold camper that has taken care of three little siblings,” Fleming said, adding that many of these kids are the parent figures to younger brothers and sisters. “At camp, they can just be kids and have fun.”

Royal Family Kids Camp also attempts to fill deep holes for belonging and acceptance that many of these children never have experienced, Fleming said. For a week, they are treated like kings and queens, he added.

Part of that treatment is a birthday celebration for all the campers, which Fleming calls the “birthday of a lifetime.” The kids have camp grandmas and grandpas, and aunts and uncles. These “relatives” give them gifts. They have their pictures taken with them, as well as during their

favorite activities, Fleming said.

“On Friday, they go home with a memory book. For some kids, it’s their only childhood photograph album,” Fleming said. “It’s part of changing the cycle of abuse and making a difference in their lives.”

One teen volunteer was Nick Puracchio, 16, of Channahon. Nick already had assisted at Minooka Bible Church’s Vacation Bible School; so when his mother, Nicole Puracchio, suggested helping out at Royal Family Kids Camp, he wanted to do that, too.

Although Nick enjoyed the camp activities – such as laser tag and basketball – he said he really felt God’s presence during club time, which is when the kids presented Bible-themed skits and songs.

“They were totally into it and, I thought, ‘This is awesome. I don’t want it to stop,’ ” Nick said.

Nick believes he especially affected three of the kids he worked with. He liked the

comfortable way they’d greet him with a, “Hey, what’s up, man?”

“They became like the friends I have in normal, everyday life,” Nick said.

Laura Oresky of Mokena said two of her foster children have attended camp – a 10-year old and her current foster son, now 12. This was the 12-year-old’s fourth time at camp, Oresky said. He enjoys the other kids’ enjoyment as much as his own, she added.

“He is a very caring kid,” Oresky said.

Fleming said he heard about Royal Family Kids Camp through a presentation at his church, Southwest Community Church in Minooka.

In 2006, Fleming attended training in California through Royal Family Kids Camp; in 2007, he held his first camp.

Only about five campers belong to Fleming’s church, Fleming said. Royal Family Kids Camp works with a variety of foster care agencies – including the Illinois Department of Children and Family Services – to find kids

n Royal Family Kids is the nation’s leading network of camps and mentor clubs for children of abuse, abandonment and neglect. n Annually, 3.6 million cases of child abuse, neglect or abandonment are reported in America. n A victim dies every six hours due to that abuse. n In 2008, the group expanded to include a school year club and mentoring program and changed its name to Royal Family Kids. n In 2012, Royal Family Kids served more than 6,000 children in 160 camps in 35 states and 11 international countries. n 80,000 children have been enrolled in the camps since 1985. n Founders Wayne and Diane Tesch have co-authored three related books, as well as a 20th anniversary special edition book consisting of testimonials from 20 former campers who have all returned to serve at the camps.

Source: www.joliet. royalfamilykids.org who could benefit from this camp, he added.

Fundraising is necessary throughout the year to pay for each camper’s fees, which are $650, Fleming said. Campers come from Will, Grundy and Kendall counties, according to www.joliet.royalfamilykids. org.

For the past five years during the Christmas holidays, Fleming has hosted a whole-family party to reunite campers. New this fall to the Joliet-based organization is a Royal Family Kids mentoring program. Foster kids will be paired with the counselors, who provide four hours of time each month, Fleming said. One Saturday a month is devoted to group activities, he added.

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Take the dummy under advisement

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Livy, a Roman historian who died in A.D. 17, said, “The troubles that have come upon us always seem more serious than those that are only threatening.”

This week we are looking at active and passive defense. The defenders either strive to take winners (active) or sit back and wait for declarer to give them tricks (passive). First, the defenders listen to the auction. But when that does not help them to know which plan to adopt, they must take the dummy into account. Is it threatening or not?

Threatening is a dummy with a short suit, giving declarer ruffing tricks, or a long side suit, offering declarer a second source of winners. Unthreatening is a balanced hand.

In this example, how should East defend against four spades after West leads the diamond two and East takes dummy’s queen with his king?

I would have raised to three no-trump with that North hand because of the strong doubleton – and gone down in flames after a diamond lead.

East, since the dummy is so flat, should return a diamond at trick two, which removes that dummy entry.

If declarer is psychic, he can make the contract: heart to the queen, two rounds of trumps, diamond ruff in the dummy, second heart finesse, cash the heart ace, and run the club nine. East wins with his 10 and returns a low club, but South plays low from his hand to lose only one diamond and two clubs. However, he is unlikely to find that line and will go down.

With a relatively flat dummy, stay passive.

ADVICE Wife unwilling to care for mother-in-law Dear Abby: My mother-in-law is 80 and in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. She lives alone an hour and a half from us. She also has a professional who takes care of her once a week. My husband, “Fred,” goes to help and entertain her every weekend, and I sometimes accompany him. She has enough money to stay in an assisted living facility, but Fred wants to build a motherin-law apartment for her on our property.

Abby, I DON’T LIKE HER. She was a bully when she was younger, and she’s still manipulative. She has made some comments about me hitting her, which never happened. Of course, Fred believed me. If she lives with us, I will be her main caregiver because I have a homebased business and a flexible schedule.

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips I have already said no to Fred’s idea, but I don’t want to be the bad guy. His two brothers live states away and don’t want to be involved because of the way their mother treated them during their teens. Fred is the only son willing to overlook past issues and has made peace with her.

Could you help me to sort this out? – Three’s A Crowd In Maryland Dear Three’s A Crowd: I’ll try.

Caring for someone who has Alzheimer’s disease is a full-time job because the disease is PROGRESSIVE. While Fred’s mother can live alone with the help of a professional once a week now, that

will soon not be the case. She will become increasingly helpless and so confused that should an emergency arise in her apartment she will be unable to think sequentially enough to know what to do.

She may no longer recognize who you are and become agitated and combative.

For these reasons your mother-in-law should be in an assisted living facility staffed with caregivers who have been trained to take care of people with Alzheimer’s. Because you have a business to run, it can’t be you.

Since Fred has made peace with his mother, he should visit her often to ensure she is well-treated. But he should NOT expect the responsibility of caring for her to be yours because it is unrealistic.

Age-related changes affect the GI tract Dear Doctor K: As I’ve entered my 70s, I’ve noticed that my eating and bowel habits have changed. Is this normal?

Dear Reader: Well, I could tell you what it says in the medical textbooks, or I could speak from personal experience. The answer would be the same: It sure is normal.

Aging most definitely affects our eating and bowel habits. The human digestive system – our gastrointestinal (GI) tract, or “gut” – is a series of hollow organs linked to form a long, twisting tube. It begins at the mouth and winds down through the esophagus, stomach, small intestine and colon. These organs break down food into components that the body can absorb and use for energy. What’s left is expelled by an efficient disposal system. (I’ve put an illustration of the GI tract on my website, AskDoctorK.com.)

Here are some age-related changes you may have noticed: • The mouth. As we age, the number and sensitivity of our taste buds decline. Our chewing muscles also weaken and we begin to lose teeth. The food we swallow next enters the tube that leads from the throat to the stomach, called the esophagus.

• The esophagus. Food does not simply drop down the esophagus;

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff it is pushed down by coordinated contractions of the muscles in the esophagus wall. Unlike the muscles of our arms and legs, we don’t will these muscles to move.

When they are stimulated by the presence of a lump of chewed food, they just automatically squeeze the food downward.

Unfortunately, the muscles of the esophagus weaken as we age.

They contract less vigorously around food after swallowing, and this can make swallowing more difficult.

Weakened muscles in the esophagus also can cause a second problem. Muscles at the bottom of the esophagus, where it enters the stomach, normally squeeze down hard after food passes through.

This keeps stomach acid from squirting back up into the esophagus. When those muscles become weaker with age, it can contribute to acid reflux.

produces less acid. This doesn’t usually interfere with digestion.

And it may make acid reflux and “heartburn” less of a problem.

But lower levels of stomach acid can lead to vitamin B12 deficiency. That’s because stomach acid helps the small intestine absorb vitamin B12 in food. Lower levels of stomach acid also can lead to an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine.

• The colon. The final stage of digestion happens in the colon, or large intestine. Just as happens in the esophagus, muscles in the wall of the colon squeeze the waste downward. Moving one’s bowels may be the most frequent GI challenge associated with aging. In general, people have more trouble having regular bowel movements after they reach age 65. Weakness and poor coordination of the muscles of the colon are a major reason for this.

Although our gut ages along with the rest of us, and that can contribute to some of the infirmities of growing older, there are effective treatments. We’ll discuss these in future columns.

• The stomach and small intestine.

The stomach is a storage and processing facility where food is prepared for digestion. The stomach produces acid, which helps break down food. As we age, the stomach

Woman’s soul mate should be her best friend Dr. Wallace: I’m 19 and in love with Daniel.

He is my soul mate, and we are getting married on my 20th birthday in October. In high school I dated Tyler for two years. He is a nice guy and we stayed good friends even after we broke up. We are still best friends and talk to each other a couple of times a week. Tyler is very good looking and Daniel has asked me to stop talking to him all the time. I have no romantic interest in Tyler whatsoever. We are just good friends.

What can I do to make Daniel know that he is my love and that Tyler is just a good friend? – Sarah, Biloxi, Mississippi Dear Sarah: I know it is difficult to lose a good friend, but the time has come to tell Tyler that Daniel is a tad upset that you’re still sharing a best-friend relationship with a former boyfriend and that he has asked you to stop talking to him all the time. It’s not really asking too much.

How would you react if Daniel were super friendly with an ex-girlfriend? ’Nuff said.

Your best friend should be your soul mate. The guy you love and the one you are going to marry in less than two months is your best friend!

Dr. Wallace: I really enjoy sports, and I watch all of the big games on television. Sometimes when there are no important games being played, the sports channel shows world-class poker players playing for a lot of money. Last week the World Series of Poker was being shown.

I like to see how these big-time players play

For example, if I watch television for a few hours she calls me a “couch potato” and tells me to go outside and exercise. I will admit that I’m overweight, but that is none of granny’s business.

Now she is upset because I’m watching poker on TV. She told my dad that watching “that junk” will cause me to one day become a gambler. That’s simply not true. I watch murders on television and I’m never going to murder someone just because I saw a person murdered on television.

Now my dad has restricted me from watching poker on the tube, so I’ve got to go over to my friend’s house to watch Texas Hold ’Em. Please tell my dad that I’m not going to turn into a serious gambler just because I watch poker on TV. – Ken, Santa Fe, New Mexico Dear Ken: Watching Texas Hold ’Em on television does not mean that you will turn into a serious gambler, but I can inform you that since Texas Hold ’Em has been on television it has been highly popular with teens (mostly boys), and a disturbing number of them are engaged in trying to earn extra money playing the game.

British actors Rob Brydon (left) and Steve Coogan star in “The Trip to Italy.”

Coogan, Brydon shine in ‘The Trip to Italy’

By ED SYMKUS More Content Now In 2011, American art house audiences were caught unaware by the delightful, hilarious, thought-provoking and delicious faux documentary “The Trip,” in which British actors Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon, playing slightly skewed versions of themselves, drove all over England, dining in fine restaurants and publishing stories of their experiences.

That film began life as a mostly improvised six-part BBC TV series, directed by Michael Winterbottom, who then whittled it down to movie length for American consumption. Last year, the BBC dangled the carrot of a second helping, this time in Italy, in front of the director and stars, resulting in another six-part series. Now another movie, “The Trip to Italy,” is being served.

It’s more of a remake, rather than a sequel, featuring the two quick-witted, well-read, intelligent guys with a penchant for doing impersonations of movie stars once again hopping in a car, eating at fancy restaurants, making yummy sounds, chatting about literature, film and music, pining

about getting older, and holding one-on-one competitions involving who can do a better vocal impression of Michael Caine and Sean Connery.

Both films had outlines concerning what would be discussed at the restaurants and in the car, but then the A-one improvisatory skills of Coogan and Brydon were let loose, to hilarious effect, most notably when they launch into a lengthy and absurdly funny spree on how difficult it was to understand Tom Hardy’s muffled dialogue as Bane in “The Dark Knight Rises.”

There’s a suggestion that the two friends haven’t seen each other for a while, so there’s plenty for them to talk about, and topics end up ranging from the friendship and poetry of Lord Byron and Percy Shelley to the songs of Alanis Morrisette.

Because this a move that features food, taking place in a country that loves food, the focus keeps returning to the six restaurants they visit and dine at. It makes little sense that these guys would have assignments to review and report on food since they don’t seem to know much about it beyond what looks good and tastes good. But that’s never brought up, and the cameras

stay busy getting right up into their faces as they eat, and keep cutting away for quick glances into the busy kitchens where the meals are being prepared.

Yet the film is more about both the relationship between – and the private inner thoughts of – the two men, and there are moments that are quite moving. Amidst the comedy, it’s subtly revealed that when they’re not together, they’re both kind of lonely, and are each experiencing midlife crises. The divorced Coogan has uncomfortable Skype talks with his teenage son, and the supposedly happily married Brydon finds that his wife always has an excuse not to talk with him when he phones her. At night, in their separate hotel rooms, Coogan reads Byron aloud, and Brydon loses himself in rehearsing lines for an upcoming movie audition.

A major difference between the two films is that in the first one it was Coogan who was offered the writing assignment, and brought Brydon along, but this time it’s Brydon being asked to write the articles, and giving a call to Coogan. Both of them are once again presented as being between acting gigs, so are

able to get away. The other difference is that the first time around, Coogan played it as brash and ambitious and egotistical, and now he’s calmer, while Brydon gets to be the more rambunctious of the two.

But the main mood keeps returning to the comedy coming out of their constant banter. Coogan sometimes can’t even get a word in during a Brydon rant, and Winterbottom gives viewers the gift of leaving in a Capri-set sequence (yes, there are also boat rides) where Brydon cracks up Coogan for real.

The film runs a tad long and it ends too abruptly. But it’s hard to complain when there are so many comic tangents, such lovely drives through the bucolic countryside, an unexpected reverence displayed for the city of Pompeii, and, along with the poppy and raucous sounds of Alanis Morrisette, the glorious and sweeping ones of Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler – a curious choice since neither was Italian.

• “The Trip to Italy” is written and directed by Michael Winterbottom. The film stars Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon.

It is not rated.
