VIEWS Kate Schott It’s amazing, what an investment of time and positive words can do for a person.

As a writer, I’m well aware of the importance of word choice. Connotation and intent can change the way one interprets a sentence. Words can build up, or tear down.

I’ve found over the years it’s better to build up if possible.

Which is why it’s exciting to learn about an opportunity in Joliet to build up a population that needs it – local teenagers.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties is partnering with Joliet Township High School District to offer Mentor 2.0. It’s one of five agencies in the nation to pilot this program, a “tech-

nology-enriched mentoring program designed to impact local high school graduation rates and build crucial skills linked to college and career success for youth that might not currently have those expectations set for themselves,” according to the Big Brothers Big Sisters website.

The gist of it is: The BBBS and JTHS are looking for local college graduates who are at least 21, live or work in the Joliet area and are able to volunteer four hours a month to mentor a JTHS student. Mentors will have to exchange a weekly email with their mentee, and attend an in-person mentoring session eight months out of the year.

Lisa Morel Las, CEO of BBBS, said 50 sophomores – boys and girls – each from Joliet Central and Joliet West will be randomly selected to take part in the program.

Mentors will be expect-

ed to mentor their match throughout high school, although Las understands that not everyone may be able to make such a commitment.

Las said the program needs more volunteers, especially males.

The hope, Las said, is to continue adding more mentors – and therefore more students – every year until all of the roughly 6,000 students in JTHS schools are paired with a mentor.

“It’s going to take a while,” she said.

But she noted the program is a “perfect opportunity” for busy professionals, as the monthly time commitment is four hours. The emails exchanged between mentor and student will be guided by prompts provided by the program.

“It’s a great opportunity to help increase the quality of the workforce for the future,”

Former Joliet councilman joins clergy headed to Israel

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet clergyman has been invited to Israel, along with 25 other U.S. ministers, to show support for the government in its confrontation in the Gaza Strip with Hamas.

The Rev. Warren Dorris Jr., pastor of Prayer Tower Church of God in Christ, was invited on the trip as part of the Rev. John Hagee’s Christians United For Israel ministry.

Hagee, pastor of Cornerstone Church of San Antonio, is a close friend of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Dorris said.

“It’s really amazing,” Dorris said. “It’s to show that U.S. clergy support Israel.”

Dorris, a forRev. Warren mer Joliet city Dorris Jr. councilman, said he has visited Israel twice in the past, but primarily as a tourist. This trip will be all business, he said, and with the highest members of the Israeli government.

“I haven’t seen the entire agenda, but we’re in suits the whole time,” Dorris said. “No tours, it’s all meetings.”

The invitation was sudden and unexpected, he said.

“I got the call on Wednesday to come to Israel on Monday,” Dorris said. “We leave for New York on Monday, and then fly on to Tel Aviv.”

The visit comes at a tumultuous time. Israel and Hamas have been fighting since July 7. Israeli forces entered the Gaza Strip, saying their goal was to destroy rocket sites and infiltration tunnels being used to attack the Jewish state.

An internationally-brokered ceasefire between the two warring sides broke down within hours Friday.

“We’ll be dealing with issues going on over there,” Dorris said. “I am in shock.

This is a life-changing experience for me.”

she said. “It’s also a great opportunity to make a difference in the community.”

And, it goes without saying (but I’ll say it anyway), the students are the ones who will benefit the most from the success of this program.

Sabec brothers have lived in the New Lenox house all their lives

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Three brothers packed their belongings Friday to leave a home that wouldn’t be the same when they returned.

Brothers Don, Lawrence and Ray Sabec have lived at their home at 717 S. Prairie Road in New Lenox since 1946.

The brothers stayed in the house their mother and father raised them in, even after their parents died.

But over the years the house deteriorated. The brothers didn’t have the resources to fix things until several nonprofit organizations stepped in. Now they are staying at another home provided by one of the many volunteers who began a complete homemaker project this weekend.

The home might have deteriorated more if not for volunteers with Sharefest of New Lenox and Operation Nehemiah. The Sabecs’ home is the first home makeover project

by Sharefest, a nonprofit organization that runs hundreds of service projects each fall.

Ray, 67, who was helping his older brothers load a van, said the home was where he was born and where his parents died.

“We’ve had a lot of births and deaths in this house. It’s very central,” he said.

The Sabec household The brothers, lifelong bachelors, and their one sister, who does not live with them, were raised by their father, Mario, an Italian immigrant, and mother, Anna. Their father worked at a Joliet steel mill for 25 years before retiring in 1976, while their mother cleaned and cooked at home.

During his life, their father liked to garden – a hobby Ray shares himself – play piano and sing opera. He took opera lessons in Chicago and almost landed an audition on the Orig-

Lawrence said their mother, who came from Little Rock, Arkansas, was a “small, frail woman” who worked hard and cooked great food like sauerkraut and breaded pork chops.

But she was too hard on herself.

“She was very self-effacing,” Ray said. “A little bit in my mind, she reminded me of Cinderella. Always scrubbing.”

Ray was the only son who graduated from high school. He attended Lincoln-Way Central High School and Southern Illinois University. He worked for a construction company and helped his brothers with landscaping jobs. Now, he works for the Vietnam Veterans of Amer-

The oldest brother, Don, 81, said he went to Joliet Town-

Lawrence, 77, said he also went to Joliet Township Central High School until his sophomore year and worked several jobs when he left. Over the years, he worked at a wallpaper mill, a clothing store in Joliet and a machine shop before retiring.

Deadline nears for petition drive Advocates want to create more City Council districts

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The grassroots citizens group that wants to recast the political structure of the Joliet City Council has a Monday deadline to turn in petitions.

Concerned Citizens of Joliet wants to change the current City Council structure from five district seats and three at-large seats – a format that has been in place since the 1950s – to eight district seats.

The group needs 1,500 signatures to place the issue on the Nov. 4 ballot. The deadline to file the petitions with the city is Monday. The last day to file objections to the petitions is Aug. 11. If no one objects, the question needs to be submitted by the city to the Will County Clerk’s office by Aug. 28 to get on the ballot.

“We’re confident that we’ll have more than enough signatures to get it on the ballot,” group spokesman Rich Rodriguez said.

Joe Belman (center) of Concerned Citizens of Joliet, collects signatures from the Rev. Ray Leasure and Idalia Cervantes for a petition to place the Joliet For Eight Districts issue on the November ballot. BELOW: Concerned Citizens of Joliet wants to change the current City Council structure. Supporters have been displaying these signs in their yards.

Seeking change The group has been seeking support for its Joliet For Eight Districts plan, meeting with community groups and going door-to-door for petition signatures. The group maintains that mixed district and at-large representation does not accurately or fairly reflect the city’s geography and population.

Supporters of the existing system, however, say it gives citizens more representation by providing three at-large council members if they are not satisfied with the district council member.

District seats represent the five geographic zones the city is divided into; council members must reside in the districts they represent. At-large

Concerned Citizens’ primarily complaint is that because of the at-large component, too many council members reside in the same part of town.

“We’ve been getting the same response from the far west side of Joliet to the far east side,” Rodriguez said.

“People are surprised when they find out that six council members living within a 4-square-mile area of each other. When we show them what that looks like on a map, they are astonished.”

Concerned Citizens of Joliet maintains that: • 66 percent of the City Council lives in an area encompassing only 15 percent of the city’s 62.7 square miles.

• Six of eight Joliet council members live in an area of 4 square miles.

• Four council members and the mayor live within 1.5 square miles of one another, the four council members within 1 square mile of one another.

Joliet’s City Council districts were drawn in the 1950s.

The map was reconfigured by the council in 2013 to reflect population growth, although the representation format of five districts and three at-large seats remained the same.

didates and the mayor, which also is an at-large seat. Under an all-district system, voters would cast a ballot for the councilperson in their district, plus the mayor.

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com

Not everyone on the council agrees adding new districts is the answer.

“I am not in favor of the eight districts,” said Mike Turk, one of three at-large council members. “Currently residents can vote for five of the nine individuals on the City Council, which is a majority on any issue. Under the new proposal they will have two votes – their district councilperson and the mayor.”

Bettye Gavin, newly appointed councilwoman for District 4, said that while she is neutral on the issue, she also understands the need to have at-large council members.

JOLIET – A training session at the Will County Courthouse on Friday focused on what to do in active shooter incidents.

And, the advice was to do something.

“Doing something is better than doing nothing,” Lewis University Deputy Chief Mike Zegadlo told an audience of judges, bailiffs, clerks and other staff Friday at the Will County Courthouse.

Zegadlo said national studies have shown when someone is trying to kill as many people as they can find, those who take any kind of action are more likely to survive than those who freeze up.

“What happened in Chicago [a shooting Thursday in a downtown office] has to give pause and show why this is important,” Judge John Anderson said.

More than 400 courthouse employees have attended one of Zegadlo’s mandatory training sessions.

“It’s very tempting to ignore the remote possibility of a [planned attack], but I don’t think that’s the right way to approach this,” Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt said.

While the courthouse has metal detectors, X-ray machines and armed sheriff’s deputies, it also has a lot of people involved in cases who can become agitated, Schoenstedt said.

“Because this building is so crowded, there’s a lot of contact when people are highly emotional. [It could escalate] from someone intending to do harm with scissors or a pen,” Schoenstedt said.

Zegadlo acknowledged that

School District 202 sells hundreds of computers

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Misty Bartlett wanted to find a good laptop for her college-bound daughter.

So the Plainfield resident headed off to nearby Plainfield North High School early Saturday morning to buy one. Plainfield School District 202 staff decided to sell extra laptop and computers at prices that were quite a bargain for Bartlett and for hundreds of residents who came out.

“My kids go to Plainfield schools,” she said. “They use them at school. I was asking them if they were nice comput-

“It is so ungodly expensive nowadays that – for a small amount of word processing and Internet uses [that]I use it for – you can’t beat the deal. ” Chet Hartley Plainfield resident ers and they both told me they thought they were good computers.”

School staff were selling about 500 Dell Latitude laptops

for $90 and about 1,000 Optiplex desktops for $80. Each item had their hard drives wiped clean and came with Windows Vista installed. They also came with power adaptors, monitors, keyboard and mouse. Most of them were about five to six years old.

Outside Plainfield North High School’s cafeteria were dozens of people waiting for their number to be called.

Those who managed to buy computers came out of the building with them stacked on rolling carts.

Tom Hernandez, school district spokesman, said the schools have been selling used computer equipment for several years. Because of the size

of the schools, every year staff are replacing older computers with new computers. The computer sales have always proven popular with hundreds of people, he said.

“Find some other place where you can get a laptop for less than $100,” Hernandez said.

Chet Hartley of Plainfield was looking for exactly that on Saturday. He was waiting to get a laptop because the one he had before was broken.

“It is so ungodly expensive nowadays that – for a small amount of word processing and Internet uses [that] I use

School staff were handing out numbers for purchases at 6 a.m. and did not start the sale until 8 a.m. Bartlett said when she arrived a little before 8 a.m., lines were packed. The lines were dwindling by 10 a.m. as more people were allowed into the school’s cafeteria for their purchases.

Hernandez said the school may collect about $125,000 from the sale if all items are sold.

The money will go toward buying new computers and other technology equipment for the schools, he said.

SHERIDAN – Authorities intend to conduct a search Sunday for any evidence that may assist them in the investigation of a double homicide in Dwight and recent burglaries in Grundy County.

At 8 a.m. Sunday in a 26-acre site in Sheridan, more than 100 law enforcement and fire officials are set to conduct a largescale ground search that is expected to last about five hours, according to a news release from Illinois State Police.

Law enforcement and fire officials are searching for any evidence in the investigation of Dwight homicide victims Donna J. Denker, 60, and her daughter, Kelli L. Denker, 30. Both women died in their home June 14 and autopsies showed they died from gunshot wounds.

Former Morris resident Joseph R. Sipple, 27, who shot himself in June while fleeing

LaSalle County Sheriff’s Deputies, was found to be a past acquaintance of Kelli Denker.

Sipple had charges of possession of stolen property but has not been named a suspect in the homicide investigation.

Sipple’s confrontation with the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Deputies occurred June 26 at a residence south of Sheridan in the northeastern part of LaSalle County.

On Sunday, authorities also plan to search for evidence in recent burglaries happening in Grundy County, according to the news release.

The search site is not being disclosed for security reasons and the area will be blocked off and restricted to authorities only, according to the news release.

Illinois State Police, Dwight Police Department, LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office and fire departments from MABAS divisions 15 and 25 are set to participate in the search.

Senger wants Foster for 4 debates in 11th District

Diamand ’s Family Restaurant Serving Families Since 1989

Celebrating our 25th Anniversary!

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com The debate over debates is heating up early in the 11th Congressional District.

State Rep. Darlene Senger, R-Naperville, this week called on U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, to agree to four debates in September.

“It is critical that Representative Foster give voters the chance to see debates with the Congressional candidates seeking their support,” Senger’s campaign manager Anthony Barry said.

Senger is running against incumbent Foster for the 11th Congressional District, which includes much of Joliet. Foster won the seat in the remapped district in 2012 against incumbent Judy Biggert. Foster participated in four debates with Biggert in

that race.

Barry said Senger has received invitations from the League of Women’s Voters and other organizations to hold a debate and Senger has accepted.

But he said Foster still hasn’t accepted.

Craig Belden, the campaign manager for Foster, said Foster is considering debate proposals.

“Just like other races we’ll agree to debate at a time and place that works for both candidates,” Belden said, adding that any notion Foster is refusing to debate is false.

Will Electric Aggregation Group switches suppliers

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

Hugh O’Hara Transportation director of the Will County Governmental League

Solutions for the past two years.

But the company did not respond to a bid sent out for the next contract.

“We sent [bids] out to 48 suppliers,” O’Hara said. “There were very few that would be able to take on a program of our size. Six companies responded, and two of them beat the ComEd price.”

Eligible residential and small business customers wanting to participate in the program do not need to do anything.

Those wishing to opt out of the program will receive a notice from their municipalities and Homefield Energy in the next few weeks with instructions. There are no termination fees.

The Will Electric Aggregation Group noted that residents and small businesses may be solicited by other suppliers in the next few weeks to switch accounts. Unless a notice is explicitly marked as being from the municipality, Homefield Energy or Commonwealth Edison, customers should assume it is not connected to the aggregation program, the group said in a news release.

The Will Electric Aggregation Group has selected a new supplier with a goal of saving its members money on electricity bills.

The group entered into a three-year contract with Collinsville-based Homefield Energy. Electric rates for participants in the group will be 6.996 cents per kilowatt-hour for the first 24 months starting in October, and 6.85 cents per kilowatt-hour for the last 12 months.

That is a 6.5 percent savings when compared to the Commonwealth Edison electric rate in October of 7.42 cents per kilowatt-hour.

The Will Electric Aggregation Group was established in 2012 as a conglomerate of municipalities looking for cheaper, more competitive electric rates by buying energy in larger amounts.

“The group gives much better negotiating and buying power,” said Hugh O’Hara, the transportation director of the Will County Governmental League. “With 323,000 people now, the cumulative savings is very beneficial. All those savings will go back into Will County.”

Municipalities participating in the group include: Beecher, Bolingbrook, Braidwood, Channahon, Coal City, Crete, Elwood, Frankfort, Homer Glen, Lemont, Lockport, Peotone, Plainfield, Rockdale, Romeoville, Shorewood and Woodridge.

The group bought energy from Ohio-based FirstEnergy

Police chief defends response to tornado

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – After a review by Plainfield police, Chief John Konopek said Plainfield Emergency Management Agency officials and volunteers took the right steps during the June 30 storms and tornado.

But he said officials need to work better on educating residents about severe weather protocol.

During a July 7 meeting, village trustees said residents complained that they never heard weather sirens go off when the tornado hit.

Police commanders defended emergency management decisions not to sound the sirens because the tornado had left Plainfield before it was spotted – even by the National Weather Service.

The EF-1 tornado started in Plainfield, and traveled east along Route 126, ripping up hundreds of trees and damaging 21 homes, according to Plainfield officials.

It then hit Romeoville, causing damage and a signifi-

cant road closure on Route 53 the next day.

The worst-hit area in Plainfield, according to police commanders, was The Reserve subdivision off Route 126 west of the Interstate 55 ramp.

“We had the Will County EMA review our procedures,” Konopek said. “They felt it was in good shape and we did a good job. But we need to have a better public education campaign with our residents.

People still think the first line of defense for severe weather is the siren.”

But the tornado sirens are for people outside of a building at the time a tornado touches ground, he said. People inside are better off getting weather alerts through the TV, radio or apps on mobile devices.

The police department also is looking to possibly partner with a commercial entity to subsidize weather alert radio costs for residents next year.

Konopek is also confident in bringing back weather spotter classes in 2015.

But he said those initiatives were still a work in progress.

City Council would need to OK map Continued from page 4

Other cities combine district and at-large representation

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – City councils come in different shapes and sizes.

Other cities combine district and at-large council members, although the mix may differ from that in Joliet.

Some others include Champaign, which has four at-large and five districts; Des Plaines with five at-large and 10 districts; Peoria with five at-large and five districts; Sterling with three atlarge and four districts; and Wheaton, with three at-large and four districts, according to a 2010 study by the Naperville League of Women Voters.

Naperville has eight atlarge seats. But in November 2010, voters approved a referendum to change the council’s structure to five district

seats and three at-large seats.

Then in April 2013, voters overwhelmingly approved changing back to city’s original eight at-large seat structure.

“The biggest concern is that we really didn’t want our city to ... make decisions as one quadrant or another,” said Rebecca Obarski, a Naperville attorney who helped organize “Yes! Elect City Council At Large” to pass the 2013 referendum.

“We wanted our representatives to make their decisions based on what’s best for all of Naperville, not for what was best for their district.”

Obarski said the 2010 redistricting referendum was passed in a mid-term election during a time when the economy was still mired in the recession. Naperville voters, eager for change, also passed measures on term limits and

pension reform.

“It got people stirred up,” Obarski said. “But for most of us who were informed voters that knew it was on the ballot [questioned] why would we go from what works to something new.”

Naperville, in some ways, mirrors Joliet. Both are sprawling, amorphous cities.

Joliet, the state’s fourth largest city, had a population of 147,433 people in 2010, while Naperville, the fifth largest, had a population of 141,853, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

“Part of the other concern was that we felt what we had in Naperville worked,” Obarski said. “The city is 11 miles long. We really didn’t want that sense that one part of town is different from another. In city government, you don’t want that ‘not in my backyard’ kind of thinking.”

“With the current form of government, if one council member is not able to serve, the at-large council members are there ready to help out and make sure the people’s needs are met,” Gavin said. “To me the current setup ... is a suitable form of government.”

Mayor Tom Giarrante said an all-district system has some limitations.

“Should [a district resident’s] only council representative be unresponsive or does not support their issue, they have one option, whereas now they have four,” Giarrante said.

Another key issue would be determining how to divide the city up into eight new districts.

But while it is calling for a new City Council district map, Concerned Citizens of Joliet does not yet have a map, Rodriguez said.

“Once we get the petition on the ballot, we’re going to ask residents to participate and get input from the community directly,” Rodriguez said. “We

plan to do a road show, showing residents what eight districts could look like.”

Ultimately any redistricting map would have to be created and approved by the City Council. City Attorney Jeff Plyman noted at a recent council meeting that unless the measure was specifically put on the ballot as an advisory referendum, the City Council would have to abide by the decision and redraw its maps.

Another question left unanswered, should the referendum pass, is when voters would elect members in the new districts.

If the measure were to pass Nov. 4, for instance, candidates for the new districts would have to file nomination papers

by Nov. 24 for the April 7, 2015, election. Otherwise elections would have to be pushed back until Nov. 3, 2015.

In its current form, the referendum question will be: “Shall The City of Joliet be divided into Eight Districts with one Council Person to be elected from each District, but with the Mayor to be elected from the City At Large.”

Songwriter for Alice Cooper dies

By MESFIN FEKADU The Associated Press NEW YORK – Dick Wagner, the skilled guitarist who worked with Alice Cooper, Lou Reed, Kiss and Aerosmith, and also co-wrote many of Cooper’s hits, died of respiratory failure Wednesday, his personal manager and business partner said Friday. He was 71.

Susan Michelson, Wagner’s partner in Desert Dreams Productions, said the performer died at Scottsdale Healthcare Shea Medical Center in Arizona. He had been there for three weeks, Michelson said.

Wagner was born on Dec. 14, 1942, and grew up in Michigan. His website said he went

on tour with Reed in 1973 and joined Cooper a year later.

He co-wrote the Cooper hits “Only Women Bleed” and “I Never Cry.” He also worked as Cooper’s musical director.

Wagner’s website said the guitarist had many health issues, surviving two heart attacks, a stroke, a paralyzed left arm, kidney failure and diabetes.

“Dick had a huge heart, which is perhaps why it gave him so much trouble, it was simply too full of love, of music and life,” Wagner’s family and Desert Dreams said in a joint statement. “His creativity and passion will live on forever in the legacy he has left for us, in his music and his words. We have so much of him to celebrate.”

Manny Roth, founder of Café Wha?, dead at 94

By HILLEL ITALIE The Associated Press Manny Roth, a colorful club owner in Greenwich Village whose Cafe Wha? and its basement level stage was a rite of passage in the 1960s for Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Bruce Springsteen and many others, has died. He was 94.

Roth, the uncle of Van Halen singer David Lee Roth, died July 25. His daughter, Jodi Roth, said Friday that he died of natural causes at his home in Ojai, California.

As boisterous as his loudmouthed nephew, Roth was a good man to know during a special place and time – when Greenwich Village was a mecca for upcoming artists and bohemians, where on a given night, you might see Woody Allen doing standup, or take in performances by Peter, Paul and Mary and such future rock ’n’ rollers as Dylan and David Crosby.

Founded in the late 1950s, The Cafe Wha? was a former stable that Roth personally helped renovate, laying down the new floor and bringing in

some friends to help decorate.

The look was such a mishmash that Roth named the club Cafe Wha? It was a true starter club, with low pay, no liquor and little space. But Roth’s stage was an essential first stop for performers looking for a chance, or even a place to stay. Dylan showed up in early 1961, not yet 20 years old and fresh from his native Minnesota.

“He was just a kid,” Roth later recalled, noting how he announced from the stage that Dylan needed a room for the night. “The first time I heard Dylan get up on an open mic, I’m thinking to myself, ‘This kid doesn’t have a prayer. He can’t sing, can’t play and certainly doesn’t have any stage presence.’”

In his memoir “Chronicles: Volume One,” Dylan remembered Cafe Wha? as “a subterranean cavern, liquorless, ill lit, low ceiling, like a wide dining room with chairs and tables.” Dylan was especially fond of the afternoon hootenannies, calling the potpourri of performers an “extravaganza of patchwork.”

Slain soldier’s son to get lost medal, answers

By DON BABWIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – John Trinca couldn’t remember the name of the soldier who died right next to him minutes after they met during World War II, and all Thomas Bateman Jr. knew of his father’s death was that it happened in 1945 in the Philippines.

The two will meet for the first time Sunday thanks largely to Tom McAvoy, who made good on a quest to return a lost war medal he found as a child in Chicago that only had the recipient’s engraved name as a clue: Thomas Bateman.

This year – 69 years after a bullet from a Japanese machine gun killed Pvt. Thomas Bateman – their stories intersected for the first time, giving them answers to questions that tugged at them for years. At this weekend’s ceremony, the slain soldier’s son will receive the lost Purple

Heart his father paid for with his life.

“I had a newspaper article that my grandmother kept that said he was killed and that’s about all I knew,” said Bateman, 69, who was just shy of his first birthday when his father was killed.

The men learned of one another thanks to Purple Hearts Reunited, a foundation that works to return the medals to their recipients or their recipients’ families. Zachariah Fike, a Vermont National Guard captain who was awarded the medal after he was wounded in Afghanistan in 2010, has managed to reunite about 100 Purple Hearts with their rightful owners since starting the foundation.

What is known about this medal begins in the 1950s, when McAvoy spotted it on the basement floor of his family’s Chicago apartment building while helping a janitor sort garbage. He gave it to his mother and forgot about it.

Rauner jabs at Gov. Quinn’s ag director The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – Illinois’ farming chief became the target of criticism this week from Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner.

Lee Enterprises Newspapers’ Springfield bureau reported Saturday that Rauner, a Winnetka businessman, did not mention Agriculture director Bob Flider by name in outlining his agriculture plans. But he said the agency’s director must “have firsthand farming experience.”

Flider was named director of agriculture after he lost a 2010 re-election race for the Illinois House. He then voted, as a lame duck in the House, for Quinn’s 67

percent income-tax increase after earlier opposing it.

In response, Quinn’s campaign office released a statement that highlighted agriculture-related achievements.

His appointment to the Agriculture Department post – one of a handful of lame-duck lawmakers who got Quinn administration jobs after voting for the tax hike – drew hoots and howls from the GOP, particularly because Flider has never been a farmer.

Flider argued in his November 2012 Senate confirmation hearings that he isn’t a farmer but represented a farm-rich district and the Decatur headquarters of processing giant Archer Daniels Midland Co.

Then, about seven years ago, one of his brothers mentioned that he found a Purple Heart while going through their mother’s belongings after her death.

“My brothers and I, we said, ‘We have to find out who this person is and give it to the family,’” said McAvoy, 74.

After some calls to VFW halls and other efforts came up empty, someone put him in touch with a woman involved with veterans’ issues.

That led to a call from a local state senator’s office, telling him about Fike.

McAvoy mailed the medal to Fike, who quickly recognized by the way it was engraved that Bateman had been killed in action. He soon reached out to Bateman Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee, and the slain soldier’s son helped solve the mystery about how the medal ended up in the Chicago apartment building: His father’s mother once lived there.

Lewis University Police Deputy Chief Mike Zelgadlo teaches Will County Courthouse employees how to deal with an active shooter during a presentation Friday.

Trainer: Best recommendation in situation is to evacuate first • CLASS Continued from page 4 discussion of a shooting attack makes his audience anxious, but believes it’s similar to fire safety.

“Most of us will never be involved in a building fire, but we have sprinklers and fire extinguishers because the consequences could be catastrophic, and this is the same idea,” he

said.

Like a fire drill, the best recommendation for an active shooter situation is to evacuate first, then call 911, Zegadlo said.

“You can’t be harmed when you’re not there anymore, so that should be your first thing,” he said. If that isn’t possible, you should find cover and prepare for a confrontation until you have the opportunity to escape, according to Zegadlo.

Local students could benefit from great mentors • SCHOTT Continued from page 2 three articles, Drake asked me to stay after class. I figured I had really messed something up. He looked at me and said, “Why aren’t you in the journalism option?

You’re a writer.”

Those words, and his obvious confidence in my abilities, ultimately led me to change my major to journalism. I took every class I could from him. With his prompting, I worked at the weekly school paper and the local daily. My senior year, with his encouragement, I applied for and was accepted into graduate school to study public affairs reporting.

In 1998, at age 19, I was

somewhat timid – a trait not used to describe many journalists. Since then, my confidence has grown. That started because Drake took 10 minutes to encourage me – and then spent four years pushing me to embrace those talents.

Funny thing? Drake doesn’t even remember that initial conversation. For me, it was a life-changing moment that put me on the path that led me here (and I’m very happy to be here).

But that’s the thing about great mentors. They often don’t know the impact they make. I’m glad I’ve gotten the change to tell Drake the difference he’s made in my life.

Under renovation

CHICAGO – Legislation proposed by three suburban Chicago third-graders to better protect pets is now Illinois law.

Gov. Pat Quinn signed a measure Saturday increasing fines for mistreating or abusing animals. Supporters say it targets unethical operators of puppy mills.

It was sponsored by Arlington Heights Republican Rep. David Harris and Sen. Pamela Althoff, a McHenry Republican. It doubles or more than doubles the fines for one or more instances of animal mistreatment.

But the idea came to Harris from Claire Hackmann, Brooke Martin and Maddie O’Dell. They are third-grade students at Patton Elementary School in Arlington Heights. The children read a book about students who rescued a dog from a puppy mill. They researched the issue further and contacted Harris.

Elwood resident facing federal gun sales charges

CHICAGO – A 40-year-old Elwood man faces federal charges of illegally selling guns from his home and Grundy County store.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago says a grand jury this week returned a six-count indictment against Patrick Sean Keiran of Elwood. Prosecutors say Keiran has operated the American Choice Firearms and Ammo store in Gardner.

He’s accused of selling nearly a dozen guns to an undercover agent posing as a felon and to a convicted felon cooperating with authorities. The guns included eight 9-mm handguns and a .38 caliber revolver.

The charges against him include selling firearms to an individual he had reason to believe was a convicted felon and selling firearms without recording the name, age and residence of the purchaser.

FBI: Suspect in fatal bank heist may have had help

EAST ST. LOUIS – A man accused of fatally stabbing two Illinois bank workers and critically wounding a third during a botched robbery may have had some help, according to newly unsealed court documents.

The FBI alleges in a search warrant application that the survivor reported hearing the suspect, James Watts, talking to someone and getting responses on a two-way radio during the bungled May 15 holdup in Cairo. Such a radio was later found in Watts’ alleged getaway vehicle, and a radio charger was found at the house of a man who investigators believe exchanged text messages with Watts and a woman.

been involved in the attempted bank robbery and remain at large,” FBI special agents wrote in several of the search warrants, which were ordered unsealed by a federal judge in East St. Louis.

Watts, 30, has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted armed bank robbery resulting in death and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

He could face the death penalty if convicted.

Homewood man gets life term for slaying son, 3

CHICAGO – A suburban Chicago man has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for stabbing his 3-yearold son to death and sexually assaulting the child’s mother in a 2011 attack at her home.

Gregory Sandifer, of Homewood, also was sentenced Friday to an additional 25 years in prison. He was convicted in June of first-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated criminal sexual assault, aggravated domestic battery and aggravated unlawful restraint.

According to prosecutors, the couple was arguing at the apartment of Sandifer’s girlfriend on Chicago’s West Side on Sept.

2, 2011, when Sandifer sexually assaulted the woman at knife point. Authorities say he stabbed her four times and pushed her out of a second-story window.

She survived and was able to flag down a passing policeman.

But Sandifer, 30, fatally stabbed their son, Jaivon Sandifer, before the officer could enter the apartment.

During Friday’s sentencing hearing, the boy’s mother said her son’s death still haunts her.

“I constantly play the events in my mind wondering what were my son’s final thoughts while being murdered by his father who he thought would love, protect, and cherish him,” the Chicago Sun-Times quoted her as saying.

“This is an appalling and tragic case stemming from the crime of domestic violence and involving the senseless murder of a defenseless child,” State’s Attorney Anita Alvarez said in the statement. “We thank the court for this sentence and we remain committed to seeking the most significant penalties afforded under the law in order to bring justice for those victims who can no longer speak for themselves.”

ATF wants to know where shooter obtained gun

CHICAGO – A U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms official says the agency is trying to determine where a man obtained a gun used to wound the executive of a Chicago company.

Chicago police say Tony DeFrances pulled a gun during a meeting with ArrowStream CEO Steven LaVoie. LaVoie was shot in the head and abdomen during a struggle. DeFrances fatally shot himself.

The 60-year-old DeFrances, who was listed on the company’s website as the company’s chief technology officer, had been demoted during a company downsizing.

ATF spokesman Tom Ahern says a top priority is to trace the gun used in the shooting to its source. The information will be given to Chicago police to aid in their investigation.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Mom thanked Jesus after chokehold homicide ruling NEW YORK – After her son was placed in a police chokehold and died saying, “I can’t breathe,” Gwen Carr would wake up screaming, “Let him go! Give him air!” she said Saturday. When she heard his death had been ruled a homicide, she said, her first words were, “Thank you, Jesus!”

Carr and eight other relatives of the late Eric Garner attended a rally in Manhattan led by the Rev. Al Sharpton that celebrated the homicide ruling issued Friday by the city medical examiner.

Sharpton said the ruling is “probable cause” for the quick arrest of Officer Daniel Pantaleo, the white police officer who used the chokehold on Garner, who is black, on July 17 on Staten Island.

Sharpton said the Staten Island district attorney, Daniel Donovan, “needs to say, ‘I’m moving forward to an arrest’ or ‘I’m deferring to the federal government.’ ”

Lawmakers struggle to reach drought relief deal WASHINGTON – Prospects for a drought relief bill to help California farmers appear as likely as the state being deluged by three straight days of rain.

Key lawmakers and staff are working to resolve differences in two bills that separately passed the House and Senate this year.

The lawmakers won’t say where progress has occurred or what roadblocks remain, but time

is running out for the current congressional session. Congress will be out for the rest of August and for virtually all of October to give lawmakers time to campaign for the midterm elections.

“I’m making no predictions right now. All I’m saying is we’re still working and comparing notes,” said Republican Rep. Devin Nunes on the possibilities of reaching a compromise.

California has experienced three consecutive dry years. State officials recently passed emergency regulations that prohibit certain outdoor water uses, and an estimated 64 local water agencies have enacted some form of mandatory water restrictions.

Obama hosts summit with an eye on legacy WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is gathering nearly 50 African heads of state in Washington for an unprecedented summit aimed in part at building his legacy on a continent where his commitment has been questioned.

But the backdrop for the conference that begins Monday underscores what has been a constant challenge to that effort. Even as Obama immerses himself in talks on regional security, democracy building and business investment in Africa, the world’s attention – and much of his own – will be on an extraordinary array of urgent overseas crises.

U.S. doctor with Ebola in Atlanta for treatment

By RAY HENRY and MIKE STOBBE The Associated Press ATLANTA – The first Ebola victim to be brought to the United States from Africa was safely escorted into a specialized isolation unit Saturday at one of the nation’s best hospitals, where doctors said they are confident the deadly virus won’t escape.

Fear that the outbreak killing more than 700 people in Africa could spread in the U.S. has generated considerable anxiety among some Americans. But infectious disease experts said the public faces zero risk as Emory University Hospital treats a critically ill missionary doctor and a charity worker who were infected in Liberia.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has received “nasty emails” and at least 100 calls from people saying “How dare you bring Ebola into the country!?” CDC Director Tom Frieden told The Associated Press Saturday.

“I hope that our understandable fear of the unfamiliar does not trump our compassion when ill Americans return to the U.S. for care,” Frieden said.

Dr. Kent Brantly and Nancy Writebol, who will arrive in several days, will be treated in Emory’s isolation unit for infectious diseases, created 12 years ago handle doctors who get sick at the CDC, just up the hill. It is one of about four in the country, equipped with everything necessary to test and treat people exposed to very dangerous viruses.

In 2005, it handled patients with SARS, which unlike Ebola can spread when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

In fact, the nature of Ebola – which is spread by close contact with bodily fluids and blood – means that any modern hospital using standard, rigorous, infection-control

An ambulance arrives Saturday with Ebola victim Dr. Kent Brantly (right) to Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. measures should be able to handle it. Still, Emory won’t be taking any chances.

“Nothing comes out of this unit until it is non-infectious,” said Dr. Bruce Ribner, who will be treating the patients.

“The bottom line is: We have an inordinate amount of safety associated with the care of this patient. And we do not believe that any health care worker, any other patient or any visitor to our facility is in any way at risk of acquiring this infection.”

Brantly was flown from Africa to Dobbins Air Reserve base outside Atlanta in a plane equipped to contain infectious diseases, and a small police escort followed his ambulance to the hospital. He climbed out dressed head to toe in white protective clothing, and another person in an identical hazardous materials suit held both of his gloved hands as they walked gingerly inside.

“It was a relief to welcome Kent home today. I spoke with him, and he is glad to be back in the U.S.,” said his wife, Amber Brantly, who left Africa with their two young children for a wedding in the U.S. days before the doctor fell ill.

“I am thankful to God for his safe transport and for giving him the strength to walk into the hospital,” her statement said.

Inside the unit, patients are

sealed off from anyone who doesn’t wear protective gear.

“Negative air pressure” means air flows in, but can’t escape until filters scrub any germs from patients. All laboratory testing is conducted within the unit, and workers are highly trained in infection control. Glass walls enable staff outside to safely observe patients, and there’s a vestibule where workers suit up before entering. Any gear is safely disposed of or decontaminated.

Family members will be kept outside for now.

The unit “has a plate glass window and communication system, so they’ll be as close as 1-2 inches from each other,” Ribner said.

Dr. Jay Varkey, an infectious disease specialist who will be treating Brantly and Writebol, gave no word Saturday about their condition.

Both were described as critically ill after treating Ebola patients at a missionary hospital in Liberia, one of four West African countries hit by the largest outbreak of the virus in history.

There is no proven cure for the virus. It kills an estimated 60 percent to 80 percent of the people it infects, but American doctors in Africa say the mortality rate would be much lower in a functioning health care system.

Israeli soldier thought Vets, Israel do captured declared dead well in Congress ANALYSIS

By IAN DEITCH and KARIN LAUB The Associated Press JERUSALEM – An Israeli soldier the military feared had been abducted by Palestinian gunmen in a firefight that shattered a temporary ceasefire in Gaza has been declared dead, ending what could have been a nightmare scenario for Israel hours after it signaled it plans to scale back its operation against Hamas militants.

The military announced early Sunday that 23-year-old Hadar Goldin of the Givati infantry brigade had been killed in battle on Friday. Israel’s defense minister, along with the chief military rabbi, met with the soldier’s family at their home in the town of Kfar Saba.

Hundreds of people from around the country had gathered outside their home, praying and showing their support. There was an outpouring of grief when the military’s announcement was made public.

“Prior to the decision, all medical considerations, religious observances, as well as additional relevant issues were taken into consideration,” the military said.

The Israeli military had previously said it believed the soldier was grabbed in a Hamas ambush about an hour after an internationally brokered cease-fire took effect Friday morning. Hamas on Saturday distanced itself from the soldier’s alleged capture, which had prompted widespread international condemnation. U.S. President Barack Obama, U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon and others had called for his immediate and unconditional release.

For Israel, the capture of a soldier or civilian by Palestinian militants is a nightmare scenario with far-reaching implications.

Israel has gone to great lengths in the past to get back its captured soldiers. In 2011, it traded over a thousand Palestinian prisoners, many involved in deadly attacks on civilians, for a single Israeli

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to the media Saturday during a press conference at the defense ministry in Tel Aviv, Israel. Netanyahu warned Hamas on Saturday that it will “pay an intolerable price” if it continues to fire rockets at Israel, but also hinted that Israel would reassess its Gaza operation once troops have demolished Hamas military tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border. soldier who had been captured by Hamas-allied militants in 2006. The capture of two soldiers in a cross-border operation by Lebanon’s Hezbollah gunmen in 2006 sparked a 34-day war between the Iranian-backed militant Shiite group and Israel.

Soon after the soldier was believed abducted on Friday, Israel conducted extensive searches in the territory and deployed heavy fire that killed scores of Palestinians.

On Saturday, Israel signaled it plans to scale back its military operation in Gaza and said it will not participate for now in any cease-fire negotiations in Cairo with Hamas.

But the Islamic militant group suggested it won’t hold its fire in the case of a unilateral Israeli pullout, raising the prospect of renewed hostilities in the future.

Israel continued to pound Gaza with airstrikes Saturday, killing at least 72 Palestinians, many in the southern border town of Rafah where Israeli troops searched for the soldier.

In a televised address, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested that the Israeli military will reassess its Gaza operation once troops complete the demolition of Hamas tunnels under the Gaza-Israel border. Once the

tunnels are demolished, “the military will prepare for continuing action in according to our security needs,” he said, stressing all options remain on the table.

“We promised to return the quiet to Israel and that is what we will do. We will continue to act until that goal is reached, however long it will take and with as much force needed,” Netanyahu said.

“Hamas needs to understand that it will pay an intolerable price as far as it is concerned for continuing to fire.”

Since the Gaza war began July 8, at least 1,712 Palestinians, including many civilians, have been killed and more than 9,000 have been wounded, Palestinian health official Ashraf al-Kidra said.

Israel has now lost 64 soldiers and three civilians, its highest death toll since its 2006 war with Lebanon’s Hezbollah. Hundreds of soldiers have been wounded.

Large swaths of Gaza have been destroyed and some 250,000 people have been forced to flee their homes. In Israel, much of the country has been exposed to Hamas rocket attacks that have damaged homes and infrastructure, and mortar attacks in the south have caused several deaths and many injuries.

WASHINGTON – In more than five years in Congress, Republican Rep. John Fleming of Louisiana recalls voting only once for emergency spending that raised the federal deficit.

That was this week, on a bill to improve health care for veterans, and it helps explain the lineup of winners and losers in the hours before Congress began a five-week break from the Capitol.

Veterans, Israelis and governors and local officials who want their highway money – all groups with demonstrated political clout – were able to break through Congress’ customary gridlock. On the other side of the ledger, a proposal to spend more money fighting forest fires in the West and raise the deficit in the process did not make the cut in the Senate or even reach the House floor.

The prospect is non-existent for legislation to cope with the border crisis involving an influx of young Central American immigrants crossing into the U.S. illegally from Mexico. Instead, that issue seems destined to turn up in hard-edged political ads in several political races this fall.

“It wasn’t a perfect bill, no question about it,” Fleming said of the veterans’ health care measure in a brief interview just off the House floor. But without a way to change it, he said, “I had to weigh the benefits for the veterans.”

Fleming wasn’t the only deficit hawk to make that decision.

Rep. Steve King, an Iowa Republican, did, as well.

“Forty dead veterans ... that was enough for me,” he said, referring to reports of numerous deaths of former service members while waiting for appointments

at overwhelmed facilities operated by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

A third Republican, Rep. Tom Rooney of Florida, said he couldn’t recall any other deficit-raising bill that has received his vote since he came to Congress in 2009.

“It’s all part and parcel of going to war,” he said, adding that if Congress is willing to raise deficits to finance combat, it should be willing to do the same to care for the troops it sends to carry out the mission.

In that, Rooney sounded surprisingly like Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont independent, one of the most liberal lawmakers in Congress and one not known as a deficit hawk.

“Planes and tanks and guns are a cost of war,” Sanders said as he shepherded the bill through the Senate in his capacity as Veterans Affairs Committee chairman. “So is taking care of the men and women who use those weapons and fight our battles.”

Negotiations followed a predictable path. Democrats wanted more money than Republicans, who sought cuts to other programs to protect the deficit. Voices were raised, then lowered and the deal was cut. The cost came down, but deficits are projected to rise by $10 billion.

The Club for Growth, influential with conservatives, opposed the legislation. It warned the bill artificially capped costs and said lawmakers were in fact creating a new benefit program “that sets taxpayers on a course to spend half a trillion dollars over the next decade.”

The warnings were apparently less persuasive than a crisp command from William A. Thien of the Veterans of Foreign Wars: “Pass a bill or don’t come back from recess.” The vote was 420-5 in the House and 91-3 in the Senate.

In the years since their parents died, the brothers lived what they saw as normal, quiet lives. Ray likes to garden, Lawrence likes to fix cars and Don likes to golf and bowl.

Their home began its slow decline over the years, with the roof of the utility room leaking and an old furnace working infrequently. The brothers tried to paint the house, but the money and time proved too much. In the summer, they would use fans to keep cool, but the cold winters would penetrate the house.

“On a real cold, windy day, you can feel the draft come in sometimes,” Lawrence said.

But now Sharefest is gathering hundreds of volunteers, tens of thousands of dollars in funding, and donated materials from various companies and organizations to restore the brothers’ home.

Gary Cheney, Sharefest organizer, said he regards the brothers as his neighbors.

“I’m called to love them. It’s that simple … they’re a family in need and we just got to reach out and help them,” he said.

Comfortable retirement takes a lot of work Dear Mr. Berko: In my individual retirement account, I have 180 shares of Pfizer and 95 shares of Walgreen Co., and each is trying to merge with another company overseas to reduce taxes.

My broker and I believe that moving to a foreign country to avoid U.S. taxes is anti-American. It creates a bigger tax burden on workers like me. This also bothers me because I worry about what would happen to their stock prices if they were to move out of the country.

My broker thinks a foreign merger would cause the prices of those stocks to fall. He wants me to sell both stocks, in which I have good profits, and lock them in. I’m 62, and I just retired with $138,000 in my IRA, which includes $29,000 in cash.

Because I need more income to supplement my Social Security and small pension, he wants to use the money from the sale of Pfizer and Walgreen Co. plus $15,000 of the cash to buy stock in four business development companies (list enclosed), paying an average of 10 percent.

What do you think? – JS, Akron, Ohio Dear JS: If you’re not comfortable with the income you have at 62, you’d best return to work for at least 10 years or for as long as you are able to be productive. Real inflation (forget Washington’s silly claim of 2 percent) is easily 8 percent and headed higher. Meanwhile, you should expect your cost of living to increase by at least 40 percent in a dozen years.

So I doubt that Social Security, your “small pension” and a $138,000 IRA can pay your bills unless you downsize your needs. Quitting a job is easy, but a comfortable

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko retirement takes a lot of work, and most folks haven’t worked long enough.

Business development companies seek to invest in companies that grow rapidly and profitably. Like commercial banks, they make loans to those companies, but unlike banks, they may take an equity position to enhance their profits. Qualified BDCs must pay out 90 percent of their taxable income monthly or quarterly and may not invest more than 5 percent of their assets in a single company.

I like your broker’s BDC selections, although I’d not be comfortable investing $40,000, which is 30 percent of your portfolio, in this sector. Frankly, I’m getting nervous as more and more retirees invest too much of their non-risk capital in high-yielding equities.

However, Ares Capital (ARCC-$17.88) is one of the largest, most highly regarded BDCs, with a portfolio of 192 companies (energy, automotive parts, financial services, retail, chemicals) that is valued at nearly $8 billion.

The $1.52 dividend yields 8.9 percent and may be raised again this year to $1.89.

Hercules Technology Growth Capital (HTGC$16.57) is a niche BDC focusing on the Internet, telecom, clean energy and biotech industries. Its portfolio has doubled in the past decade and should exceed $1 billion by early 2015. The $1.24 dividend yields 8 percent, and management will probably raise it by 20 percent this

year.

Medley Capital’s (MCC$13.04) $1.48 dividend yields a sweet 11 percent. Assets and net income have increased fourfold since 2011, and Wall Street expects the trend to continue. Goldman Sachs, Barclays, Credit Suisse and J.P. Morgan recently managed a secondary for MCC, and the dividend is likely to be increased next year to the $1.60-$1.65 level.

Fifth Street Finance (FSC$9.86) is an impressive BDC, with only $2 billion in assets and an excellent management team. The $1 dividend, yielding 10.3 percent, should be increased this year, and BlackRock, State Street, UBS and Northern Trust are significant shareholders.

Just invest $5,000 in each BDC, and sit on your remaining cash.

I understand your frustration that corporate America is fleeing the U.S. to reduce taxes, but I think this will have a positive effect on their share prices. The largest company to move overseas was Anheuser-Busch in 2008. Eaton did it in 2012, and AbbVie (Pfizer spinoff in 2013), Medtronic and others are heading for the exits. Meanwhile, Apple, Microsoft, General Electric, Cisco, Google and a dozen others have $2 trillion molting in overseas accounts because our tax code reads “closed for business” and is written by the finest members of Congress money can buy. The signs in Ireland, where AbbVie relocated, read, “Open for Business.”

LOCAL BRIEFS CME partners with Illinois will now offer Aunt Molly’s Rain 4-H in time for county fair Barrels and accessories yearIllinois 4-H has received a gift from the Chicago Mercantile Exchange to launch a new partnership that will connect the work of the world’s largest futures exchange company to the 4-H mission at the local level in Will County during the Will County Fair, which runs from Aug. 20 to 23.

The goal of the partnership program is to increase the public’s understanding of the value of agriculture commodities and what it takes to successfully manage the business risks associated with bringing them to market, including costs, profits and competition, and increase agriculture literacy across the nation, according to a news release.

Run by 4-H youth leaders, Commodity Carnival educates participants in two phases. In the first phase, youth are tasked with “raising” a steer – balancing the costs of feed, health and nutrition, production, energy and resources.

Once ready for market, the steer is weighed and the participant drops a disc down a Plinko-style board, with pegs representing elements beyond the youth’s control – parasites, bad weather, health news, government regulations and seasonal demands.

At the end of the activity, the participant obtains an increased understanding of the commodities market.

New this year, participants will be able to bring Commodity Carnival home through a new online game and mobile app.

OUR VIEW

Voters must take care when they view candidates’ political messages Republican candidate for governor Bruce Rauner has taken some heat recently for manipulating headlines in his latest TV ad to help his cause in the race to replace Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn.

The commercial, called “Headlines,” uses newspaper headlines over images of Quinn to attack him and his record on issues such as jobs, the income tax increase, education funding and the federal investigation into his anti-violence program.

A review of the commercial by the Chicago Tribune revealed the headlines don’t accurately reflect the sources cited.

Rauner’s campaign, predictably, defended the practice and the ad. “The TV ad does not say everything that appears on screen was a headline,” spokesman Mike Schrimpf wrote in an email to The Associated Press. “Due to time and space constraints, some of the phrases had to be condensed.”

Unfortunately, the tactic employed by the Rauner camp is not unique.

Political candidates manipulate headlines, newspaper stories and sound bites routinely in advertising and direct mail literature.

The fact that it is routine does not excuse Rauner nor anybody else seeking public office for producing such misleading messages.

It’s a shame that those wanting to represent the people in a public role treat the public with such disdain by choosing to skew the message with questionable manipulation.

Then lawmakers wonder why trust in government is at an all-time low. The mistrust spawns before he or she is even elected.

Voters aren’t without blame, however. The reason candidates can get away with these kinds of advertisments is because they are effective. Why? Because some voters are too lazy to research claims candidates make and assume that what’s broadcast is true.

The lesson here is not that political candidates should know better, although they should treat voters with more respect.

The lesson here is that voters should make the effort to learn about each candidate independently.

Do your own research.

Don’t rely on politically-charged messages by the candidates to help form your opinion on the issues.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

A fitting tribute to Jodie Adler I had the honor and privilege to attend Jodie Adler’s Celebration Mass recently. As I sat in amazement of seeing St. Raymond’s filled as if it were Easter Sunday, I reflected on how that comes to be.

There were nine members of the clergy celebrating the Mass.

What a tribute.

The songs Jodie Adler were uplifting!

The mood was festive. Only a very special person can have 400 people celebrating her life, not consumed with sadness in her death.

What extraordinary things do we need to do to have so many people want to fill a

Guest View Annette Leck church for us? Are we all capable of living a life that can accomplish this? Yes, but we don’t.

Jodie Adler was special because she lived her faith.

She cared about the poor and was for social justice as few of us are.

When I heard her daughter talk about the Civil Rights marches, the migrant workers and the Democratic convention of 1968, I knew Jodie had marched to a different drummer.

Jodie and Joe were a team.

They raised their children to

have respect, to have accomplishments, and to care about their fellow man. They had seven children, 22 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.

What a legacy. Her children fill all walks of life – which makes sense because she was involved in so many facets of life.

They would have had an opportunity to see what life was about and choose what made them happy.

Jodie’s sense of humor, her love of Notre Dame football, her love of games in general, and her ability to enjoy a gin drink, were just a small part of what made her fun.

Roark keeps building strong resumé

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, August 3, 2014

36

One year ago, the question was whether Tanner Roark can pitch in the major leagues.

Once he made his debut, it took little time to answer in the affirmative.

However, is he a reliever or can he be the fifth starter in one of baseball’s best rotations?

The issue has been settled – emphatically. Since last September, the Wilmington graduate VIEWS has been one of Dick the most Goss productive members of the Washington Nationals’ ballyhooed rotation.

Now, the question is why TV broadcasters are pronouncing his last name ROW-ark rather than the expected Roark.

Roark’s parents, dad Toby and mom Jodi, live in Wilmington. In a phone conversation last Friday, Jodi explained that ROW-ark indeed is correct.

Toby was born in New Haven, a small town in far southern Illinois. He moved to Wilmington when he was a youth because his dad was starting a job at Caterpillar.

“Toby’s mom, Grandma Loraine, is the one who said the correct pronunciation is ROW-ark,” Jodi said. “That’s the way they pronounced it down south. She brought attention to it when it was not pronounced that way.

“When Tanner was in school here in Wilmington, everyone said Roark and he just went with it. It really didn’t matter to him if that was easier for everyone.”

Regardless of the pronunciation, Roark has been pitching lights out. In his last 10 starts, the right-hander is 8-2 with a 2.20 ERA. Too bad things did not work out better against the Cubs.

In consecutive starts June 27 and July 4 against the North Siders, he allowed eight earned runs in 13 innings, Remove those games from his last 10 and he has an eight-start streak with eight earned runs allowed in 521⁄3 innings, a 1.38 ERA. “We went up to Wrigley Field to see him pitch,” Jodi Roark said. “It didn’t turn out the way we wanted it to. The Cubs, I guess, are his nemesis.”

For the season, Roark has made 21 starts and is 11-6 with a 2.74 ERA. In 134 2⁄3 innings, he has allowed 116 hits, nine homers, 30 walks and has struck out 103. Opponents are hitting .230.

So impressive has Roark been that MLB Tonight TV analyst Eric Byrnes got into a lively discussion with his

AP photo

Washington Nationals starter Tanner Roark pitches to the Miami Marlins during Wednesday’s baseball game in Miami. cohorts last Wednesday when he said, “This guy is a legitimate ace.”

With Jordan Zimmermann, Stephen Strasburg, Gio Gonzalez and Doug Fister also in the rotation, not only does naming the ace spark discussion, but how about if and when the Nationals reach the postseason.

Which one is omitted from the playoff rotation?

From July 30, 2013 through July 30, 2014, Roark’s 2.39 ERA was the fourthbest in baseball. The others in the top five during that span were Clayton Kershaw 1.68, Johnny Cueto 1.99, Zack Greinke 2.26 and Adam Wainwright 2.59.

That is some heavy company.

Whether you feel Roark’s body of work is sufficient to classify him an ace, merely being included in that discussion let’s you know he is earning respect.

“We’re really proud of him,” Jodi Roark said. “He worked hard to get there – all the work, and the time spent in the minors. That’s where they see that some guys can’t stick it out and some can.”

Roark’s older sister, Samantha, was a volleyball, basketball and softball player and graduated from Wilmington in 2002. Tanner graduated in 2005

works and we just can’t,” Jodi said.

“But we’’ve got the MLB-TV package, so we can watch every game.

Other people here in town who want to see him pitch have gotten the package themselves, so the crowds here in our garage aren’t as big as they were last year. But there’s still some older people who will come here to watch.”

All of Wilmington is basking in Roark’s success, and why not?

GOOD NEWS ABOUNDS

Roark sits in the dugout during the seventh inning July 25 against the Cincinnati Reds in Cincinnati.

In addition to how well Roark is pitching, there is more good news involving area pitchers.

Take a look at Rob Oesterle’s story on the adjacent page. Yes, the Houston Astros have called up right-hander Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka). If he has not already made his major league debut, he should sometime soon.

In addition, the White Sox announced that they have promoted right-hander Tony Bucciferro (Minooka) from A-Advanced Winston-Salem to Double-A Birmingham. Bucciferro, who recently lost a no-hit bid with one out in the ninth inning, was 7-10 with a 3.90 ERA in 21 starts at Winston-Salem.

and brother Dillon, like Tanner an excellent all-around athlete, graduated in 2006. Dillon played baseball at Joliet Junior College and Eastern Illinois.

Dillon also lives in Wilmington, and between his garage and his parents’ garage, both still can draw a crowd on days Tanner pitches.

Houston Astros promote Foltynewicz to pitch out of bullpen for rest of season

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com

• Sunday, August 3, 2014 *

It’s been a good couple of weeks to be a professional pitcher from Minooka High School.

On July 20, Tony Bucciferro came two outs away from throwing a no-hitter for the White Sox’s High-A Winston-Salem Dash.

That’s good, to be sure. But, now, get this.

On Friday, the Houston Astros called up hard-throwing right-hander Mike Foltynewicz, a 2010 Minooka graduate.

Foltynewicz, 22, was 7-7 with a 5.08 ERA this year at Triple-A Oklahoma City with 102 strikeouts in 1022⁄3 innings. The Astros’ No. 4 prospect, taken with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2010 draft, will pitch out of the bullpen for the rest of the season.

“He’s had basically four months of pitching in the rotation at Triple-A, and we feel like it’s really been beneficial for him,” Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow said. “He’s refined his off-speed stuff and has been able to work on a lot of different things.

“We’re going to pitch him in the bullpen here for the remainder of the year and that will give him an opportunity to get his feet wet at the major league level and show us what he’s got.

He’ll help us win some games.”

Luhnow envisioned Foltynewicz pitching in the sixth, seventh or eighth and perhaps, working multiple innings.

“We’ll have to see how the manager wants to use him and how effective he is,” Luhnow said. “If he ends up being a guy we can use in those critical lategame situations – we have some good pitchers there now – but if he adds to that depth there, that will be good.”

Foltynewicz was 14-4 with a 3.14 ERA in 27 starts at Single-A Lexington in 2012 and last year was a combined 6-3 with a 3.06 ERA in 30 games between Single-A Lancaster and Double-A Corpus Christi.

Foltynewicz’s high school coach, Jeff Petrovic, was fortunate enough to be able to talk

“He’s very excited,” Petrovic said. “And I am very happy for him. Some people around here are still in a bit of shock, but he is a very talented kid, and I had no doubt after his junior year of high school that this what he was destined to do.

“So many kids in high school have different pieces to the puzzle. Some have a good body, some have a good fastball, some can hit a little bit. Mike had the whole package, even in high school.”

Foltynewicz also had something else – the frame of mind that would take him a long way.

“In order to make it as far as he has, you have to have a lot of self-belief,” Petrovic said. “He’s not arrogant, but he knows he’s good. You have to have that confidence when you are on the mound that you are better than

the guy at the plate, and Mike has just always had that about him. That will definitely help him as he moves along.

“Of course, in high school, when we sent Mike out there, we always felt a win was coming our way, but it was hard not to see the bigger picture that was coming for him.”

A first-round pick, Foltynewicz has progressed through the Houston farm system quickly. He made headlines and got the Internet buzzing last sea-

son when a few of his fastballs in Double-A hit 103 mph on the radar gun. But, Houston wasn’t quite ready for him to make the jump, and he stayed in the minor leagues for a bit more seasoning.

“Mike is not overly patient,” Petrovic said. “It hasn’t been real easy for him this season, when he feels he’s good enough to be up at the next level. But, Houston has been patient with him, and I think that says a lot about what they think of him. It

would have been easy for them to throw him into the fire right away, but they wanted to be sure he was ready.

“If they didn’t think so highly of him, they might have rushed him a little more. I think they know they have something special in him and wanted to be sure it was the right time. I think this is just the start of the door opening up for him, and I see great things ahead.

“He had a great high school career here and has had a great career in the minors. He has been successful at every level he has played at. Plus, his mechanics are very strong and so is his body. He was a big kid, even back in high school, but when he came back to visit over the winter, he has just filled out so much. He is a grown man now. He’s confident, but quiet, and he lets his baseball talk for him.”

Slammers’ Grant DeBruin is still hitting – and waiting to get noticed

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Sunday, August 3, 2014

38

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Baseball can be a head-scratching game.

Joliet Slammers third baseman Grant DeBruin entered this weekend hitting a Frontier League-leading .370. He had a league-best 95 hits, including 21 doubles and eight home runs, and had driven in 43 runs.

What does a guy need to do to get noticed?

Frontier League players occasionally have their contracts bought by major league organizations. A stated purpose for all teams in the independent league is to help as many players as possible get into affiliated ball.

You have to figure DeBruin, 24 and a former second-team All-American at Alabama-Huntsville, will not be in Joliet forever.

He has nothing but praise for the Slammers’ organization, the city, the fans and the host families he has stayed with in his two seasons here.

But there’s the rub. He is still here.

Slammers manager Jeff Isom worked for several years in the Milwaukee Brewers’ organization. He is familiar with what the big league scouts want to see.

He had a thought. Maybe DeBruin as a third baseman only is not quite what they want. But DeBruin as a versatile guy who can play multiple positions and hit, now you may have something.

“Grant came to me before the season and said he wants to move on from here,” Isom said.

“I said OK, but it’s going to take a lot of hard work.

“He has worked especially hard on his defense. He has made himself into a solid defensive player and that has carried over to the offensive side. He is hitting .370 with some power.”

“My defense has been improved,” DeBruin said. “Isom worked with me a lot in spring training.”

Isom said DeBruin gets the

“He’s hungry and he wants it,” the manager said. “Sometimes he’ll come into my office to see me at 2 o’clock in the afternoon and say, ‘Let’s go take some ground balls.’ How can I say no?”

However, that dedication and production may not be good enough if you are third baseman only. Isom last week shifted DeBruin to second base.

“I decided to move him to

second base to make him more marketable,” Isom said. “His footwork has been excellent at third base. Maybe it plays up the middle.

“He does fit a third baseman’s role, but maybe it’s not what they [Major League scouts] are looking for. Adding second base to his resume might make him more marketable.” “[Last Wednesday night] was the first time I ever played second base,” DeBruin said.

“It’s definitely different. I played shortstop, first base and third base before.

“Whatever I need to do is fine. Whatever it takes to get a chance.”

DeBruin was born in Florida. He grew up playing competitive baseball. He knows he can play – and succeed – in affiliated ball.

“Guys I played Little League with, just about all of them are in affiliated ball, or they were,” he said. “I’ve played with and against lots of guys who are in affiliated ball.”

DeBruin began the Slammers’ 2013 season red hot but tailed off and finished with a .231 average. He said early this season that an aggressive approach at the plate would help prevent that from happening again.

“I have been using an aggressive approach all year, at least in the first game of each series,” he said. “Then they get the idea I’m going after first-pitch fastball and I have to adjust to offspeed pitches early in the count.

But I’m still aggressive.”

DeBruin’s production

should help get him a look on the next level.

“In the back of my mind, for sure, I have thought about when I might get the chance to move up,” he said. “I just have to keep grinding. I had one conversation with a scout a couple of weeks ago, but nothing has happened since.

“Playing second base now can only help the resume. It shows you can play more than one position. Sometimes major league organizations are looking for someone who can do that.”

Of course, it doesn’t hurt if they’re looking at a second baseman with a .370 average, .416 on-base percentage, .545 slugging percentage and .961 OPS. “I feel good about my power numbers, especially how much they’re up from last year,” DeBruin said. “I’m definitely happy with the number of doubles and homers I have.”

DeBruin’s name has appeared anywhere from the 3-hole through the 6-hole on Isom’s lineup card this season.

“Where I hit really doesn’t affect my approach,” he said.

“If I hit in the 9-hole, they wouldn’t pitch me any differently.”

Whatever opposing Frontier League pitchers have been doing has not been working.

Sooner or later, someone will notice.

SCHAUMBURG 8, SLAMMERS 7

By CURT HERRON cherron@sghawmedia.com

“We’ve just got to do a better job when we get guys in scoring position.

We had double digits in guys left on base once again – it’s almost like a broken record.”

Jeff Isom Slammers manager

Scheffert (2 for 4) and Adrian English all singled to load the bases and JD Dorgan (2 for 4) followed with an infield hit to bring in the first run. Then Chris Epps was hit by a pitch to make it a 3-2 game.

An inning later, Russell Moldenhauer (3 for 5) singled and scored on a double by Matt Weaver (3 for 5) to tie things up against winner Eddie Cody, who went the first six innings.

Schaumburg moved back in front for good two innings later after scoring four times on four hits with three of those scoring after two men had

been retired.

Tony Delmonico singled home the eventual-wining run. Bobby Martin (3 for 4, 3 RBIs) doubled home a pair and Gerard Hall followed with a single to knock starter and loser Andrew Busby out of the game and give the Boomers a 7-3 lead.

After Schaumburg added another run in the seventh, the Slammers got one back later in that inning when Dorgan doubled, moved to third on a grounder by Epps and came home on a single by Max Casper.

Matt Costello did a good job in a relief role for the Slammers, allowing just one run on three hits in 41⁄3 innings.

In the ninth, Epps led off with a walk and Casper followed with a single before Frontier League batting leader Grant DeBruin (1 for 5) hit into a fielder’s choice and

Epps scored on an error after the force.

After Moldenhauer singled, Weaver drove ion his second run with a single to right. After another fielder’s choice, Scheffert drove in a run on an infield hit but English bounced out to end the contest.

“We were one or two hits away from pulling that one out,” said Weaver, who moved from a position player to a pitcher while in the Braves organization. “It would have been nice to do that earlier in the game to give us a little leeway but it’s a baseball game and crazy things can happen and unfortunately it didn’t work out in the ninth.

“We’ve got a good group of guys and good team chemistry. We’ve got guys who are always here early to get their work in and trying to get better every day.”

Slammers starting pitcher Ethan Carter delivers a pitch during the first inning of Friday night’s game against the Greys at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. The Slammers lost Saturday’s game.

NORTHERN ILLINOIS STEEL SUPPLY COMPANY adno=0272916

• Sunday, August 3, 2014

JOLIET – Defending Frontier League champion Schaumburg put itself back into the West Division race after stringing together a recent franchise-best eight-game winning streak.

The Joliet Slammers need a similar run of success if they’re going to get back into the playoff picture, considering that they entered Saturday’s series opener with Schaumburg 14 games under .500 and 14 games back.

But Schaumburg returned to its winning ways after scoring four times in the fifth to break a 3-all tie as it went on to hold on for an 8-7 victory before 2,414 fans at Silver Cross Field.

Joliet (26-41), which finished with 16 hits and stranded 10, trailed 8-3 going into the bottom of the seventh, but scored one run in that inning and then three more times in the ninth.

The Boomers (40-27) moved into sole possession of second place, just one game behind

division leader River City.

Gateway lost on Saturday to fall two games off of the pace.

“The guys aren’t quitting by any means,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said.

“We’re trying our hardest to win ball games and it’s just unfortunate. We’ve just got to do a better job when we get guys in scoring position. We had double digits in guys left on base once again – it’s almost like a broken record.

“We’re a couple of key hits away. Early on we had opportunities to do some damage and we didn’t do it and we ended up trying to come back in the ninth inning We did a nice job of coming back but we have to do a better job earlier in the game of playing with intensity and finding ways to get the job done.”

Joliet fell behind 3-0 in the second but got two runs back in the bottom of that frame and then tied things up in the third inning.

In the bottom of the second, the Slammers collected five hits and scored both of their runs after there were two outs.

Joliet puts two men on base in final inning, but unable to drive them in

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – On a Friday evening when a season-high 4,661 fans came to Silver Cross Field for Princess Night and fireworks, the Slammers almost provided a fairy tale ending, falling, 4-2, to the Frontier Greys.

The Slammers (26-40) trailed, 4-2, in the bottom of the ninth, but a Grant DeBruin single and a walk to Matt Weaver put the winning run at the plate in second baseman Adrian English.

English, however, was called out on strikes to end the Frontier League game.

“We got guys on base. We just couldn’t drive them in,” Joliet manager Jeff Isom said.

“We have to find ways to drive guys in. We have to find a way to get it done on the offensive side. Our pitching gave us an opportunity to win that game.”

Slammers righthander Ethan Carter made his first start for Joliet. He previously pitched for River City where he had a 2-4 record with a 6.20 earned run average Carter (2-5) gave up a run in the top of the third inning after recording the first two outs. Zach Tanner and Joe Rapp hit back-to-back singles and Chris Ellison followed with an RBI single scoring Tanner.

Carter hit Jon Minucci to load the bases before retiring Frank Florio on a lineout to shortstop Max Casper.

Joliet threatened in the bottom of the third inning, loading the bases for Adam Giacalone. He drove in four runs in Thursday’s win, but in this at-bat, he hit into an inning-ending double play.

Frontier took a 4-0 lead in the fourth inning when Rapp hit a solo home run, his 14th, over the left-field wall. Four batters later, Steve Rogers hit a two-run bomb over the right-field wall.

Carter pitched five in-

the seventh inning. Casper dropped a perfect bunt down the third base line to lead off the inning. After DeBruin’s ground out advanced him to second base, Casper scored to make it 4-2 when Rapp could not handle Moldenhauer’s LEFT: Slammers shortstop Max grounder.

– emphasis on slightly – by the continued absence from practice of sixth offensive lineman Eben Britton and Pro Bowl cornerback Tim Jennings.

Britton has missed the last four practices after tweaking a hamstring but we are told he is day – to – day and will hopefully be back soon.

Jennings has been nursing a “tight quad muscle” and had actually participated in individual drills at recent practices while sitting out team drills but he was held out completely Saturday night.

The two most notable fixtures on the sidelines continue to be safeties Chris Conte and Craig Steltz who both remain on the PUP list while rehabbing from offseason shoulder surgery and a groin injury respectively.

It’s hard to guess how significant their injuries are to the team’s future at safety as both players could be long shots to make the club this year after Adrian Wilson, Ryan Mundy, M.D. Jennings and Danny McCray were all brought in via veteran free agency and Brock Vereen was drafted in the fourth round.

Wilson got his first reps with the starters at Friday’s practice and quite a few more Saturday night. While both starting safety spots will almost certainly be up for garbs for at least a few more weeks, the five-time Pro Bowler will be extremely difficult to unseat if he proves to be 100 percent healthy.

Trestman indicated his two safeties would be interchangeable rather than focusing on finding a strong safety and a free safety. “The job is really to some degree interchangeable. That could change once we figure out where we are, but they’re really interchangeable at this time.”

Wilson and Mundy are the most experienced and accomplished of the safeties in camp and while both have played mostly strong safety, it’s hard to ignore they ran together with the first unit at Saturday night’s practice.

Competition for both safety spots is wide open

By GENE CHAMBERLAIN The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Bears have a wideopen competition at safety so far in training camp.

Through the first eight days of practices, the Bears have used several veterans at filling both safety spots.

And it’s possible some players who are not even dressed at this point will be part of the mix before camp concludes.

The Bears’ defense dropped to 30th in the league last season and the safety play lacked consistency both in pass coverage and stopping the run.

Former New York Giant Ryan Mundy, rookie Brock Vereen, former Dallas Cowboy Danny McCray and 34-year-old former Arizona Cardinal Adrian Wilson have all been tried at the starting safety spots in camp.

“The rationale is it’s an open competition, we’re going to move people around, and you’re going to see that throughout training camp and the exhibition season,” coach Marc Trestman said.

Vereen and Mundy played the spots with the starters through most of organized team activities and in the first five days of camp.

Then Trestman put Vereen with the reserves and put McCray alongside Mundy. McCray was largely a special teams player in four years with Dallas and had 10 starts, all in 2012.

“It’s a big opportunity,” McCray said. “I think that’s what we’re all here for – open competition. They’re just rolling people around to see who can make plays.

“Everybody has an equal chance.

They’ve shown that throughout OTAs and minicamp.”

It’s not surprising to Mundy that McCray would get consideration even if he was regarded chiefly a special teams acquisition.

“He brings a high level of energy to the game,” Mundy said. “He’s very active around the ball. He knows how to get the ball out and that’s something that we value here in our defense – getting the ball out.”

Vereen said he can’t be too con-

cerned about being moved to the second team after so much time spent with the starters.

“In my mind, I’m still a rookie who has to prove he belongs on the 53-man roster,” the fourth-round pick from Minnesota said. “I’m far too young to even worry about starting, not starting, whatever. In my mind I still need to prove I’m worthy of being on this team.”

Looking at all the veterans, Vereen acknowledged he’d like to be a starter from Day 1.

“But these guys have been here three, four, shoot, 10 years,” he said.

“I’m in catch-up mode. That’s the mindset I want to have.”

Each player has had strong practices followed by struggles against a Bears offense that has operated more efficiently from the outset of camp in Trestman’s second year.

Wilson was a late arrival, signing June 23 and missing all of the offseason workouts. He needed the time as he’s been recovering from heel surgery.

Wilson made five Pro Bowls and

had 27 interceptions with the Arizona Cardinals.

“I think what Adrian has done, he’s kind of worked himself back into playing football, and we’ve kind of just stood back and allowed him to acclimate himself on not only what’s going on in the classroom, but let him get his feet underneath him on the field,” Trestman said.

Wilson said he’s playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder after seeing reports and hearing many regarding him as washed up. Bears general manager Phil Emery saw possible value in him.

Former Green Bay Packer M.D. Jennings has been playing largely with the third team, and two other Bears have yet to join practices.

Last year’s free safety starter, Chris Conte, is on the physically unable to perform list because of shoulder surgery, and backup/special teams player Craig Steltz is also on PUP because of groin surgery.

Conte is in the final year of his contract after starting 40 games in three seasons.

CHICAGO – The Bears made their 2014 Soldier Field debut at the annual Family Fest fan promotion Saturday night in front of a crowd of their most rabid supporters about 27,000.

Bears coach Marc Trestman was clearly energized by the crowd and felt his players were too.

“You know this is our home, this is where we’re going to play our games and you know any time the guys are in front of a crowd like this the energy is great and it’s just fun for them to come out at night and practice,” Trestman said.

As the Bears faithful cheered almost every move players made on the field, the biggest story may have been the substantial list of veterans who remained on the sidelines.

Some of the biggest cheers of the night were reserved for Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long who dressed out and participated in offensive line drills but was held out of full team activities.

Trestman said, “Just watching him [Long] warm up – it was good to see him in pads. Things are looking up and the plan is still in place.”

Long said he was glad to be back as well, “It was really nice to get into pads. It was really nice to be out there with the guys who have worked so hard all training camp. I’ve missed out on a lot of it, so it was good to get back today. We’ll keep the ball rolling on Monday.”

Earlier in the week the head coach indicated he was targeting Saturday night for Long’s return and cautioned not to make anything out of the likelihood he would not be thrown right into 11-on-11 work.

The Bears also were glad to have Roberto Garza back as well after the veteran center missed Friday’s practice for “personal reasons.”

Running back Shaun Draughn was excused from Saturday’s practice for personal reasons and was not at Soldier Field.

Seeing Jared Allen and Jeremiah Ratliff out of uniform and watching from the sidelines was a bit of a surprise but their absence was nothing more than veteran nights off aimed at taking advantage of the Sunday off day as well giving them two full days rest at the end of the first full week of camp.

The club is slightly more concerned

Plouffe, Twins end 3-game skid, stop Abreu and Sox

By JOHN JACKSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – Trevor Plouffe got four hits and the Minnesota Twins stopped Jose Abreu, rallying past the Chicago White Sox 8-6 Saturday night to end a three-game skid.

Abreu’s hitting streak ended at 21 games, longest in the AL this season. He went 0 for 3 with two walks, one of them intentional.

The Cuban rookie, who leads the majors with 31 home runs, had reached base in 10 straight plate appearances before he popped up in the first inning.

Plouffe doubled twice and drove in two runs. Oswaldo Arcia was credited with a two-run double in the eighth, giving the Twins a 7-6 lead, when his liner glanced off the glove of left fielder Alejandro De Aza. Adam Eaton hit three

doubles and a single for Chicago.

Ryan Pressly (1-0) won and Glen Perkins pitched the ninth for his 27th save in 30 chances.

Ronald Belisario (4-8) took the loss.

In the opener of the series Friday, Chicago scored four runs in the eighth for a 10-8 win. This time, the Twins got three in the eighth and Danny Santana added a solo homer in the ninth.

Alexei Ramirez homered for the White Sox. Chicago took a 6-4 lead in the seventh with four runs.

Eaton hit a two-run double, Gordon Beckham had an RBI double and Ramirez singled home a run.

Suzuki hit a single off Belisario in the eighth, and the White Sox then brought in closer Jake Petricka with runners on first and second.

After a groundout, Arcia hit a liner that got De Aza

turned around.

ON DECK In the finale of the threegame series Sunday, Minnesota starts right-hander Kyle Gibson (9-8, 3.94) vs. left-hander Jose Quintana (6-7, 3.15).

GROUND COVERED Twins manager Ron Gardenhire joked before the game about employing a new strategy to contain Abreu: “We’re thinking about trying to slip in a few more defenders in the outfield.”

“He’s on everything. Inside, outside. We’ve tried everything,” Gardenhire said.

“We’ve thrown breaking balls, we’ve bounced balls.

The young man is a nice hitter. He’s comfortable right now, he’s swinging very good and you got to try to keep mixing it up. You can’t get into patterns on him.”

Reed caps HOF induction with catch from Jim Kelly

By JOHN WAWROW The Associated Press CANTON, Ohio – After delivering an emotionally charged speech that brought both laughter and tears, receiver Andre Reed had one more thing to do to make his Pro Football Hall of Fame induction complete.

Turning his back to the crowd at the podium, Reed caught a pass from former Buffalo Bills teammate and fellow Hall of Famer Jim Kelly on the stage at Fawcett Stadium on Saturday night.

The two then shared a long, emotional hug.

It was a fitting finish for a tandem that set a then-NFL record by hooking up 663 times in Buffalo.

And it was a moment that paid homage to the quarterback, who has spent the past 14 months battling cancer.

“You taught us not to quit,” Reed said, referring to Kelly. “You have endured a lot in your life. The loss of your son, and most recently your battle with cancer.

You’re an inspiration to all you touch.”

Kelly was near tears, and the thousands of Bills fans in the crowd cheered.

Even louder cheers went up when Reed delivered a message to any Bills prospective ownership group having an intention of buying and relocating the franchise.

“Oh yeah, and the Bills will stay in Buffalo, too,” Reed said.

The Bills are on the block after founder and Hall of Fame owner Ralph Wilson died in March.

The evening also featured numerous memorable moments from the seven-member 2014 class of inductees.

Defensive back Aeneas Williams had the fans and fellow Hall of Famers chanting in the stands to give it their all.

Linebacker Derrick Brooks delivered what he called a 24-minute “Thank you letter.”

Defensive end Claude Humphrey called the 28year wait to hear his name called as being worth it.

And Ray Guy made history, becoming the first fulltime punter to be inducted.

The class was rounded out by defensive end Michael Strahan and offensive tackle Walter Jones.

The ceremony began with Brooks, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers star, who was selected for induction in his first year of eligibility, and followed by the 70-year-old Humphrey, who retired after the 1981 season.

JJC professor finds publishing success through online Chinese instructional videos

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND

KNOW MORE

dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – In 2010, frustrated at the continual low enrollment for his community-based Chinese classes at local junior colleges, Mike Hainzinger dubbed himself “Laoshi Mike” (“Teacher Mike”) and started a whimsical YouTube series called “Chinese with Mike.”

To film the series, Hainzinger donned a Hawaiian shirt and then set up a digital camera, white board, mattress and alarm clock in his garage – the initial episode shows him “sleeping” with a teddy bear.

With it, Hainzinger found success.

That video, along with the ones that followed it, led to a publishing deal and Amazon UK bestselling status. By using Hainzinger’s methods, people can easily learn conversational Mandarin Chinese, he said.

“In 10 to 15 years, China is going to be the number one economy in the world and it’s already a key player,” said Hainzinger, now a full-time English professor at Joliet Junior College. “If we want to be competitive as far as trying to find jobs in business, especially international business, we should have a basic knowledge of Chinese.”

Although Hainzinger only advertised the episodes on his Facebook page, those 10-minute videos eventually garnered more than a million collective views and a publishing contract with John Murray Press, an imprint of Hachette, Hainzinger said.

The “Chinese with Mike: A Coursebook for Absolute Beginners” package contains a textbook, 60 “Chinese with Mike” video lessons, a companion workbook and an audio CD, recorded with native Chinese speakers, Hainzinger said.

The series will be released in the United States in November. One may pre-order it at amazon.com. Hainzinger and his publisher agreed to leave

Mike Hainzinger poses with the “Chinese with Mike” products. They are available for pre-order in the United States on Amazon.com and will be released in November. the first 10 on YouTube, so people can see his teaching style before deciding to purchase products.

“Since this was my baby, it was very hard to surrender some of the control to the publisher,” Hainzinger said, “but I could never have dreamed of the marketing they’ve done around the world. It’s very humbling that they dumped so many resources into this program.”

Hainzinger said the videos really took off when Geoff Rusch, JJC media producer and technician, became interested in Hainzinger’s project, provided some suggestions for improving quality and finally

began producing them.

Rusch was happy to help, to the point of creating original music and making a few cameo appearances. He said Hainzinger’s style makes Chinese fun and easy to digest.

“If anyone wants to learn Mandarin,” Rusch said, “there’s no better teacher than Mike.”

Ironically, it was Hainzinger’s English degree that laid the foundation for learning Chinese.

Hainzinger said he realized too late that the degree – without being coupled with an educational component – qualified him for two jobs: flipping burgers and delivering pizzas.

However, during college, Hainzinger spent a semester studying in Italy, where he befriended students from Taiwan. One friend told Hainzinger about an opportunity for teaching English in Taiwan.

Hainzinger took it and taught there for two years, starting in 2003. In some ways, he was also a student.

Hainzinger learned that Chinese food doesn’t come in white takeout containers, fortune cookies aren’t authentically Chinese, tipping is nonexistent, decorative beer can displays are for funerals and not housewarming gifts, and picking up Chinese from real conversations simplified learn-

ing the language.

It’s the Chinese characters that often cause people to shy away from the language, Hainzinger said. The basic sentence structure – noun, verb, object – is similar to English and doesn’t have the extensive verb conjugation of, say, French and Spanish, he added.

“Once you build confidence, you can learn the more intricate grammar patterns and then go from there,” Hainzinger said.

A student simply needs to master the basic sounds, about 35 of them, Hainzinger said.

Reading and writing Chinese was simplified with the invention of Pinyin in the 1950s.

Pinyin writes the sounds with the Latin alphabet instead of Mandarin Chinese characters, Hainzinger said.

That said, even learning the characters is not difficult, once a person understands the patterns. For instance, Hainzinger said, characters that concern water – such as rain and river – all share a similar pattern.

“Practicing the characters became a stress-relieving activity while riding the bus or watching television,” Hainzinger said.

Email and social media has increased opportunities for practicing written communication with individuals from other countries, Hainzinger said, a good thing in an increasingly global society.

“Nelson Mandela said, ‘If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head,’ ” Hainzinger said. “ ‘If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.’ ”

JOLIET – On June 1, Joliet Junior College celebrated alumni, retirees, faculty, staff and friends at the 33rd annual Alumni Brunch.

Among the celebrated were four award recipients: the Honorable Raymond Bolden, a retired circuit judge, and Bob Zak, radio personality, who both accepted the Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award; Patrick W. Asher, a retired English and World Languages professor, and Dr. Cecil Ingmire, retired veterinarian, who all were named winners of the Susan H. Wood Hall of Fame Award.

The Distinguished Alumni Achievement Award is presented to those alumni who have demonstrated outstanding success in their chosen field and who have provided humanitarian service to society. This award is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon alumni.

The Susan H. Wood award recognizes former faculty members, administrators or friends who have served JJC in an exceptional way.

Will County Judge Raymond A. Bolden graduated with honors from Joliet Township High School in 1951. He credits Joliet Junior College with providing him the opportunity to pursue his goal of attending college and continuing on to law school.

After graduating from JJC, Bolden served four years in the United States Air Force and earned his law degree from University of Illinois.

After practicing law for several years, he was appointed a Will County associate judge, a post he held with distinction for 14 years.

Following his retirement from the bench, he returned to law practice, and eventually was reappointed as a circuit court judge for a oneyear term.

He served as president of the Joliet branch of the NAACP during the civil rights movement. He and his

Federation of Teachers, and past vice president of the Will County Federation of Teachers, Local 604.

He and his wife, Sharon, currently reside in Joliet, and have two children, Jessica and Aaron.

Ingmire’s association with JJC began in the late 1940s, when JJC classes were still being held at the Joliet Township High School.

He worked with the Students of Medical Science Club, mentoring students who were interested in veterinary medicine.

Countless numbers of students observed his veterinary practice, and Ingmire also enjoyed having students ride along with him when he made calls to farms and stables, treating animals in Will and the surrounding counties.

In 1967, Ingmire was elected to the Board of Trustees of the new Joliet Junior College District 525.

As a trustee, Ingmire was influential in the decision to acquire the land on which JJC’s Main Campus now sits.

Ingmire also played a role in establishing the Veterinary Medical Technology Program at JJC. Ingmire devoted almost 50 years to practicing veterinary medicine in the Joliet area, with the primary focus on food, animals and horses.

From 1971 to 1988, he served as the chief veterinarian for the Chicago-Joliet Livestock marketing Center.

Early in his veterinary career, he served as a captain within the U.S. Army Veterinary Corps.

He and his wife Mary have been married for more than 67 years and they currently reside in Orland Park.

They have one son, Wayne, and three daughters, Linda Graham, Celia Fitzgerald and Jann Ingmire. They also have seven grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.

THE HERALD-NEWS JOLIET – More international students will get the opportunity to study at Joliet Junior College beginning this fall, after the federal government’s Student and Exchange Visitors Program approved a measure that would allow Intensive English for Academ-

ic Purposes (IEAP) classes at JJC. These classes will allow international students to come to JJC for the purpose of learning the English language and American culture.

The IEAP agenda requires international students at JJC to take a full year of classes in reading, writing, grammar,

language tutoring and American culture. American culture classes will include lessons on American history, pop culture and more.

But JJC’s IEAP classes aren’t just for traditional international students who want to obtain a degree. International citizens with master’s degrees, for example, could come to JJC

Publisher awards LWEHS yearbook

for a year to take IEAP classes just because they want to learn the English language in the U.S. Officials said the new IEAP classes and lower test score requirements also could be a benefit for Joliet area residents who have family living outside the U.S. If their international rela-

tives apply and pass the TOEFL and IELTS tests, they could come to Joliet, be with their family, and study English at JJC. Offering the IEAP classes also addresses a major college goal – providing more services to the growing minority and underrepresented populations of the JJC district.

Lockport teacher attended USF president workshop on earth sciences joins governing board of colleges THE HERALD-NEWS

LOCKPORT – Thirty-five elementary, middle, high school and junior college teachers from across Illinois gathered for the Illinois teachers workshop Rocks, Minerals & Mining in Today’s Society, presented by the Illinois Association of Aggregate Producers, from July 14 through 16 at Rockford University in Rockford.

Darlene Huston, a pre-kindergarten teacher in Lockport, was one the teachers who refreshed their knowledge of earth science and learned more about the importance of various minerals and aggregates including crushed stone, sand and gravel.

Lectures and hands-on activities presented by govern-

ment, industry and academic professionals explored Illinois geology, fossils, aggregate mining, and the rocks and minerals used to make common products.

Hands-on activities such as cookie mining, birdseed mining and layer cake core drilling, provide ways to engage students in learning about Darlene geological proHuston cesses and mining economics.

Seminars including Life Cycle of a Mine: Exploration, Operation, Sustainability and Reclamation and Good Stone – Bad Stone, helped to illustrate the connection between the products people use today and

the raw material source.

All of the information and activities presented, as well as numerous educational materials provided to the teachers, were designed to have practical applications for students in their classrooms.

Teachers completing the workshop received continuing professional development credit and optional graduate degree hours from Illinois State University.

This was the 18th year for the rocks, minerals and mining workshop. Sponsorship for Huston was provided by a contribution from aggregate producing company Vulcan Materials. The IAAP is the trade association serving the stone, sand, gravel and noncoal industrial mineral mining industry in Illinois.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Do it immediately, if not sooner

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Alfred Hitchcock said, “I am a typed director. If I made ‘Cinderella,’ the audience would immediately be looking for a body in the coach.”

Which one of the ugly stepsisters would it be? It couldn’t be Cinderella; you cannot kill off the heroine.

In most bridge deals, declarer must start on his campaign immediately. If he waffles early, his contract will die. How should South play in this four-heart contract after West leads the diamond queen?

Many Norths would have jumped straight to four hearts.

“Partner, we had 10 trumps, so I had to bid to the 10-trick level as advocated by the Law of Total tricks.” I am not fond of that bid, especially in an uncontested auction, with a balanced hand containing so many losers.

South has four losers: two spades, one heart and one club.

But he has 10 winners: one spade, five hearts, two diamonds and two clubs. So it will be tempting to take the first trick and play a trump.

However, East will win and shift to the club queen. Then the defenders can defeat the contract.

Declarer must establish his spade trick immediately, so that he can dispose of his club loser. At trick two, South leads his spade queen. East wins with his king and switches to the club queen.

Declarer carefully wins with his ace and plays the spade 10. When in dummy with the club king, South discards his last club on the spade jack.

Then West will wonder how he might have found a club lead (or a heart lead with East’s shifting to the club queen), which would have given the defense the edge

ADVICE Teen chafes under mom’s prohibition Dear Abby: I’m 16 and so is my boyfriend. He’s wonderful. We’re very much in love, but my mother is causing major problems in our relationship. We’re not allowed to see each other outside of school, and neither of us has a driver’s license.

Even if someone will be watching us the whole time, Mom says she’s afraid we’re going to “make out.” We won’t. She says she trusts me, but clearly she doesn’t. She says she approves of my boyfriend, but that’s not the case, either.

What can I do to convince her that we are trustworthy? – Distressed Teen In Texas Dear Distressed Teen: Not knowing your mother, it’s hard to say what will ease her worries. However, at 16, you are at an age when you should be starting to date.

Many teens start by going out in groups, which lessens the opportunity for “make-out” situations.

The problem with overpro-

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips tecting a teenage girl is that it can prevent her from acquiring the necessary social skills she will need later to make mature judgments.

Dear Abby: My wife and I disagree on whether it is OK for me to have a secret I do not wish to share with her. It doesn’t affect her. It pertains to a situation 40 years ago, long before we met. After we got into an argument about it, I eventually told her what it was about.

There was a popular movie about the same situation. Whenever it came on TV and I watched it, I would get teary-eyed, and my wife would ask me what was wrong. I would say I didn’t know because I wanted to keep the reason to

myself.

My wife is adamant that spouses should have no secrets whatsoever from each other. The issue was something significant and private to me. We would appreciate your comments. – Disagreeing In Maryland Dear Disagreeing: Would your wife have felt better if, when she saw you tear up and asked what was wrong, you had responded honestly and told her it was something personal and painful?

You were protecting yourself from having to discuss something you weren’t ready to reveal. And when you did, instead of being sympathetic, she attacked you.

Well, now that you have shared your secret and are being punished for it, are you more comfortable with the idea of telling her “all”? (I doubt it.)

Changes in cervical cancer screening Dear Doctor K: I am 31 years old and have always had normal Pap smears. I just read that HPV testing might be better. What do you suggest?

Dear Reader: Screening for cervical cancer has led to a dramatic decrease in the disease. Until fairly recently, all cervical cancer screening was done by Pap smear.

But the FDA recently approved the use of a new screening tool – the HPV DNA test – that may eventually take its place.

Most cases of cervical cancer or precancerous cervical changes are caused by the human papilloma virus (HPV). There are more than 100 different types of HPV; some (but not all) types of HPV can cause cervical cancer.

When HPV causes an infection of the cells of the cervix, it changes the shape of those cells. That abnormal shape is what shows up in a Pap smear. The Pap test can’t see HPV; it just shows the cell changes caused by HPV. Those changes were recognized many decades before anyone knew that cervical cancer was caused by a virus, and that the virus was HPV. Until recently, HPV DNA tests were only used together with Pap tests. If a woman’s Pap test found

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff abnormal cervical cells, HPV DNA tests could identify whether the woman carried the types of HPV more likely to cause cervical cancer.

The problem with that strategy is that the Pap test is not perfect.

There are women who have an HPV infection that is causing cervical cancer (or a precancerous condition) but who have a “normal” Pap test. If the Pap is falsely negative, the HPV test wouldn’t be ordered. So, the woman would lose out on a second chance to diagnose the cancer.

The FDA has now approved the HPV test for screening in place of Pap smears in women age 25 and older. The advantage is that the HPV DNA test is much more sensitive than the Pap test in detecting early cases of cervical cancer caused by HPV. But there’s a problem with HPV testing, as well. Most HPV infections – especially in young women – go away without treatment and do not lead to cancer. So many HPV tests will be abnormal

in women who don’t have cancer.

But the abnormal test will generate fear – and additional (unnecessary) testing.

In general, I follow the guidelines on cancer screening issued by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. This is an independent panel of experts in primary care and prevention funded by the federal government. Currently, the panel recommends: • Ages younger than 21: Cervical cancer screening is not recommended.

• Ages 21 to 29: Pap smears every three years.

• Ages 30 to 65: Pap smears every three years, or screening by a combination of Pap smear and HPV testing every five years.

• Ages 65 and over: Screening is not recommended if recent Pap tests are normal.

You and your doctor should discuss which test is best for you.

Consider your personal preferences, each test’s risks and benefits, your medical history and your individual risk of cervical cancer.

Tell parents what happened Dr. Wallace: I’m 15 and enjoy babysitting for a divorced mother with two children. Her daughters are ages 5 and 3.

The mother of the children has an 18-yearold brother who lives with his father. Last week he came by when I was babysitting and said that he had run out of gas.

He told me he left his cell phone at home and asked if he could use the telephone to call a friend to help him. Of course, I said yes. After he called his friend, and as he left he said, “You are a very pretty young lady.” I said thanks and never gave his visit another thought.

Last night I was babysitting again, and once again, the brother came over and asked if he could use the phone. This time he said that someone had broken into his car and stolen his wallet and cellphone and he needed to notify the police.

Again, I allowed him to use the phone. He sounded like he was talking to an officer, so I didn’t suspect that anything was amiss.

After he hung up he started telling me that I was beautiful and that I “turned him on.” Before I could say no, he grabbed and kissed me. I tried to push him away, but he was too strong. I really got scared and started crying and so did the children I was sitting for.

He then let me go, swore at me and took off saying that he never wanted to see me again.

I haven’t told my parents about this and I didn’t tell the lady I babysit for about her brother. Please give me your advice and hurry.

– Nameless, Riverside, Calif.

Dear Nameless: Tell your parents exactly what happened, and then your mother and you should

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace visit your employer and tell her about her brother’s unacceptable and despicable behavior and request that this “problem” be eliminated. Your mother should explain that if it would happen again the police would be contacted.

If this guy should return the next time you babysit, do not open the door. If there is any disturbance, call the police.

Dear Teens: When taking an examination and you are not quite sure of the answer, the first one that comes into your thoughts is not your best chance of getting it right.

Frank Whitehouse at the University of Michigan became intrigued with test taking and conducted a three-year research study on this subject.

After analyzing hundreds of answer sheets and tests taken by nursing, pharmacy and dental students at the University of Michigan, Mr. Whitehouse found that the majority of students who changed their original answer actually improved their scores.

Most times the first answer wasn’t correct.

Remember, though, that changing an answer is only recommended when you are not sure if your first answer is correct.

The study also found that there is little relationship between test scores and the amount of time students spend taking tests. Therefore, students should be instructed to work at their own pace and disregard students who finish early.

Petty stays true to sound on strong ‘Hypnotic Eye’

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Be willing to compromise this year. If you want good things to develop, you must be a team player. Step back from another’s aggressive actions.

Choose a path that stresses harmony and working alongside those who share your interests and your goals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – You will have trouble fulfilling your obligations if you take on too much. Deal with matters one at a time. Don’t take your frustration out on family members.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – You will find it difficult to determine where to begin. If you don’t understand your choices, keep asking questions until you are clear about your role and what’s expected of you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Moneymaking opportunities are apparent. Complete your responsibilities competently, and agree to take on bigger jobs that will allow you to show your leadership ability.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Sit on the sidelines. You are asking for trouble if you meddle in someone else’s business. Keep busy and stay out of any situation that has the potential to be costly.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – You can keep up to date with financial changes if you do your research. Once you have the information you need, you can benefit, but you must be prepared to act precisely.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You will gain positive attention and support from an unexpected source. Personal and professional partnerships will move along smoothly today. Aim high and plan to celebrate victory.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Be aware of job opportunities in your area. Positive changes are available if you remain well-informed and prepared. Keep your eyes and ears open and your resume ready.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Use your charisma and communication skills to express your innovative ideas to those in your peer group. You are likely to be propelled in a new and promising direction.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – It’s time to reduce your expenses. Prioritize your spending and cut down on unnecessary purchases. You will be able to earn some extra cash by ridding yourself of unwanted items.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t be discouraged if progress takes longer than anticipated. Be patient. Getting emotional and upset will only make you feel worse as well as hold you back.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Don’t listen to someone’s false promises. Keep your mind on the job at hand. Limit unnecessary travel or commuting that can cause you to be late or miss time at work.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Check out useful sites on the Internet or local seminars that can teach you new skills.

You can improve your chances of success if you are willing to enhance and expand your knowledge.

By ALLISON STEWART Special to The Washington Post If you’re a rock star of a certain age, you might figure that there is no longer much point in releasing new material.

You can usually expect decent first-week sales from the 50,000 or so baby boomers who still buy albums, followed by a nosebleed descent down the charts. Your new songs will serve as a convenient excuse for arena show bathroom breaks before being quietly dropped from the set list before the start of the outdoor touring season. And that’s if things go well.

Propelled by a combination of forward momentum and sheer orneriness, Tom Petty is one of a few classic rock artists still regularly releasing new original material, and lots of it; solo albums, live souvenirs, records with his longtime band the Heartbreakers. He’s never really had a comeback, because he never really went away. He’s always been there, an immutable fact, like gravity.

Petty and the Heartbreakers’ new album, “Hypnotic Eye,” is their best in more than a decade, which is saying something. Their preceding release, 2010’s classic blues-inspired “Mojo,” was probably more fun to make than it is to listen to, although even Petty’s lesser albums are unfailingly workmanlike and respectable. Even at the height of his early 1990s top-hatted, dragging-arounda-dead-Kim-Basinger VH1 ridiculousness, Petty had a grave, curmudgeonly dignity.

Petty recently told Rolling Stone that “Hypnotic Eye” is a (mostly unconscious) throwback to his first two albums, “Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers” and “You’re Gonna Get It!” – both of which are sainted in hindsight, and with good reason. It’s become commonplace for old-timers to self-reference (and sometimes painstakingly re-create) their iconic early work – because it’s easier, because it’s safer, because they’re as nostalgic for the younger versions of themselves as their fans are. That Petty is backed by one of the finest and most singular bands in the world in a way only complicates things: Mike Campbell’s film noir guitars and Benmont Tench’s nimble organ work, which are familiar to anyone who has listened to classic rock radio in the past 30 years, turn these new songs into instant nostalgia delivery systems.

Petty and the Heartbreakers’ first two albums were released during the early years of the Carter administration.

While “Hypnotic Eye,” recorded over a period of three years starting in 2011, is a companion piece only in the broadest

Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers’ new album, “Hypnotic Eye,” is their best in more than a decade, writes Allison Stewart. sense, it’s a similarly lean, cantankerous album of rootsy rock and roll that taps into the same feelings of restlessness and economic discontent. Petty eulogizes an unreachable future (“Mama’s so sad / Daddy’s just mad / ‘cause I ain’t gonna have the chance he had”) on the howling opener “American Dream Plan B,” he “feel[s] like a four-letter word” on the “American Girl”-reminiscent “Forgotten Man” and he examines the excesses of power on the rangy, self-explanatory “Power Drunk.”

Bruce Springsteen – Petty’s only real living analog, now that Bob Dylan has officially gone around the bend – addresses similar grievances, but at a be-

nevolent remove. Petty is in the trenches, rattling around loser towns “stealing gas with a garden hose” (on the back porch blues “Burnt Out Town”), and plotting his eventual escape (“I see what I want / I go after it,” he sings from behind a wall of old school, Stone Temple Pilots-style vocal distortion on “American Dream Plan B”).

For many artists, rock stardom is a slow-mo dive into Otherness, but Petty, the evergreen Everyman, has long benefited from an unwritten contract with fans: He resists becoming a well-fed, self-satisfied caricature of himself, and they pretend not to notice that he has been a rich white guy living in Malibu longer than he hasn’t been a rich white guy living in Malibu.

Petty holds up his end of the bargain here, occupying these songs from the inside out, serving up equal helpings of righteous pique, withering disdain, unexpected tenderness (on the expansive ballad “Sins of My Youth”) and occasional optimism.

Unlike, say, Steven Tyler, Petty still makes for a credible rock star well into his 60s, partly because he has always sounded the way he does now: old and weathered and wistful, even in his youth. “Hypnotic Eye” doesn’t feel like a retreat into the safety of his back catalogue, but rather a natural extension of it, as if he figured he might as well reclaim a past he can’t outrun.

± 7 p.m. ABC 7 Wipeout: A theme of some earlier installments resurfaces in “Hotties vs. Nerds 4.0.” It’s easy to tell the nature of the competitors on the obstacle course this time, some more notable for brains than beauty — though beauty also has its place here. ± 8 p.m. CBS 2 Unforgettable: Carrie (Poppy Montgomery) decides to conduct an “off the books” investigation to clear Al’s (Dylan Walsh) name with Internal Affairs after he becomes the prime suspect in the murder of a parolee he helped put in jail.
