By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – Phil Ash became the two-time champion of the pie eating and hot dog eating contest Saturday.

The Naperville resident was one of several contestants who came out to the Crossroads Fest in Shorewood to eat their way to victory. He scarfed down an apple pie in one contest faster than anyone else and ate the most hot dogs in five minutes the next.

He won both contests last year and was glad to win them again this year.

“Recently, I lost 100 pounds and I still manage to put the food away,” Ash said.

Both contests were held at the 38th annual Crossroads Fest, which had festivities lasting all weekend at Four Seasons Park off West Seil

Road. On Sunday, visitors were able to enjoy a summer car show, bingo and a BBQ hot slider contest.

The festival was held by the Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce with the help of Shorewood village officials.

New changes this year included relocating the family center next to the entertainment beer tent so parents could watch their children while still having fun.

Among the seven participants in Saturday’s hot dog eating contest, sponsored by Babe’s Jumbo Hot Dogs, was Kim Lamansky, Shorewood Area Chamber of Commerce president. She was able to chow down two hot dogs.

Overall, the festival was a success for Lamansky, who appreciated the good weather.

“We’ve had great response from the community,” she

said.

On Saturday, Hayley Lister, 9, and Kieran Haak, 9, faced off in the youngest age division for the pie-eating contest, sponsored by Guess What’s Cooking. A third contestant almost joined before leaving.

“You are not going to like pie after this, let me tell you,” said Carol Wagner, contest announcer and Shorewood chamber ambassador.

As the contest went on, the participants’ faces quickly turned red and were covered in apple pie as they tried to win.

Kieran was the victor after devouring most of his pie. His father, Michael, said he was proud of his son, who is a big eater. Kieran said he didn’t feel sick after the contest.

“He loves to eat everything,” Michael said.

Authorities processing items tied to Dwight double homicide

By KATE SCHOTT kschott@shawmedia.com SHERIDAN – Authorities said they were processing what was found during a Sunday morning search in Sheridan that was held to look for evidence that may assist in the investigation of a double homicide in Dwight and recent burglaries in Grundy County.

At 8 a.m. Sunday on a 26-acre, undisclosed site in Sheridan, more than 100 law enforcement and fire officials took part in the large-scale ground search, according to a news release from Illinois State Police.

“The search has concluded and the agencies involved are debriefing the results,” ISP Spokeswoman Monique Bond wrote in an email to Shaw Media. “Investigators are processing what was found and there will be no further updates today. .... Will keep you posted on updates next week.”

When asked who was processing any items found, or

for additional information on what was found, Bond declined to further comment “at this time,” and added “most of the questions will be addressed when we are prepared to release more information on the investigations.”

The search started about 8 a.m and wrapped up shortly after noon, Bond said, and was run out of a designated command center in Sheridan.

The exact site was not disclosed for security reasons, and the area was blocked off and restricted to authorities only.

The search was set for Sunday because it would be minimal disruption to the community, and weather conditions were compatible, Bond said.

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 gun-

shot 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.

Illinois State Police, Dwight Police Department, LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office, fire departments from MABAS divisions 15 and 25, and the Red Cross participated in the search.

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite and Fire Chief Tracey Steffes both referred requests for comment to ISP.

Second annual Roll & Go 5K Run and Picnic held Sunday in Elwood

By MARY BASKERVILLE Shaw Media Correspondent ELWOOD – A beautiful blue sky, green trees and flowers in full bloom was the perfect backdrop as Army reservists joined members of the community for a day in the park Sunday.

The second annual Roll & Go 5K Run and Picnic brought members with the U.S. Army Reserve Training Center, their families and Elwood residents together.

Jan Morley traveled from Chesterton, Indiana, “to be with my family.”

Her son, Lt. Aaron Morley, ran in the 5K race and was enjoying the support of the community, he said. “There is a strong bond with the local community, leaders and businesses.”

Pvt. Brianna Dixon, 19, of Kankakee, who will be leaving for basic training in Fort Jackson, South Carolina, soon, said, “The food was good.”

She decided to join the Reserves for two reasons, she said. First, it will help pay for college, and secondly, there was a moral issue: “I love my country.”

Her mother, Gladys, said she is very proud of her daughter’s service to the country and the opportunity it is giving her.

She will attend nursing school at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville.

Sgt. Miguel Maldonado of Naperville said the day also is a day to introduce the Reserve’s work to young folks, while getting together “and having a great time with families.”

The center specializes in “handling, storing, dispensing and fueling equipment.”

First Sgt. Art Villasenor of Huntley said the day is where the “soldiers get to relax a little – see another side of the soldiers. It’s good [for] morale.”

The 334 Quartermaster Company and the 470 Movement Control Battalion are sta-

The village of Elwood is happy to host the training center and help with the event, recreation coordinator Jamie Mack said.

Throughout Lloyd Erickson Park, soldiers and their families were enjoying the food, beanbags, basketball, Frisbee and just visiting with each other under the trees.

Grillin’ for Freedom volunteers brought their custom made grill “Freedom” to the park. Paul Bicking of Custer Park, Ken Watt of Wilmington and Tom Williams of Custer Park worked together to provide the picnic meats.

Spc. Brandon Peterson of Lockport said the entire battalion ran the race together as a group.

“We sang cadence, so we were really pumped up.”

Spc. Duane Bowers of Lafayette, Indiana, had just completed active duty and was serving only his second day in the Reserves. Family days “gets us closer to the community,” he said.

Reservists said the day also is an opportunity to share their experiences with their families. Pvt. Javane Jones of Evanston said “it was good how everyone came together, and the food was delicious. It helps the soldiers learn about each other,” he said. “Where they are coming from, and who they really are.”

Pvt. Kayla Lee of Merrillville said her dad is a veteran and was “very happy to be here today.”

Others said the Reserves offers opportunity for young people. Pfc. Loren Greenlee

said he joined two years ago because he wants to succeed in life.

Pvt. Derrick Carey said, “I

wanted to make a difference in my life. Build my character.”

He was promoted Sunday to private first class.

Bowman Dairy Company MOKENA – In 1885, J. R. Bowman entered the Chicago dairy market by purchasing the milk business of M. A. Devine.

Six years later, he sold his St. Louis operation and moved to Chicago where he formed the Bowman Dairy Company.

Over the years the Bowman Company expanded its markets outside of Chicago and built large bottling plants on the South Side of Chicago. One such plant was built on Wolf Road in 1907, adjacent to the Rock Island tracks in Mokena.

The Bowman Company, once an employer of more than 3,000 Chicago employees and a leading supplier of dairy products in the Chicago area, also was one of Mokena’s more flourishing enterprises.

The plant existed for a number of years and eventually was converted into a brewery and wallpaper mill. In February 2004, the old factory building was razed, clearing the way for a retail and residential center. The Bowman Company continued to flourish as a large business until 1966, when it was purchased by local rival, the Dean Foods Company.

The then photograph shows the dairy plant looking southwest across the Rock Island tracks from the Wolf Road railroad crossing. Visible to the right of the plant is the 100-foot smokestack that was added in 1911. The now photograph shows a similar view of the old factory location today.

Special Olympics Where do you athlete also a top see yourself? ‘duck ambassador’

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com PEOTONE – Nick Lorenz has always excelled in sports – but this year he’s been capitalizing on another talent: selling ducks.

Not the feathered ones, but the yellow rubber kind that will be gathered by the thousands and poured into the Chicago River to race Thursday in the Windy City Rubber Ducky Derby.

The derby is a fundraiser for Special Olympics Illinois, which Lorenz, 19, of Peotone, has been a member of since his early childhood.

He’s won medals at Special Olympic competitions in the past. But as a Global Messenger for the nonprofit organization, he currently is the No. 2 sales person for the Darling Ducklings team with 1,217 ducks “adopted.”

“He’s so open and genuine when he talks to people and so proud … people can just see that,” said his father, Scott Lorenz.

The team is composed of Special Olympic Global Messengers like Lorenz who participate in fundraising for the derby by encouraging people to adopt a duck. One duck costs $5, while a “quack pack” costs $25 and a flock of ducks costs $100.

Last Wednesday, Lorenz was at a Joliet Slammers baseball game to sell ducks and try to get an edge in the race.

His mother, Pam, said Lorenz managed to sell a flock of ducks to a young man who was there.

She, along with Scott, said being a Global Messenger has boosted their son’s confidence.

He’s spoken to crowds at grand openings and appeared on Chi-

At times, his parents are more nervous than he is when engaging the public.

“He will walk into a room full of strangers and walk out with a group of friends,” he said.

Besides his work with the Special Olympics, Lorenz attends Elim Christian School and works at Providence nursing center, both in Palos Heights.

Race day for the duck derby begins at 10 a.m. Thursday at 400 N. Michigan Ave. “Splashdown” for the derby begins at 1 p.m. and people with the adopted ducks that win will themselves win prizes, such as a 2014 Chevy Equinox. According to Special Olympics’ website, online adoptions must be received by Wednesday.

Lincoln-Way Central teams up with Will County Forest Preserve for fourth year

Rialto work delayed until September

We cleared out a lot of the invasive species.”

Lincoln-Way Central High School students work with Will County Forest Preserve staff in early May to remove invasive plant species. linois Department of Natural Resources. In that same period, the amount of milkweed available decreased 64 percent.

“That’s because of milk-

weeds being treated as a weed and being cut down on roadsides,” Mackowiak said.

Students are usually tentative about heading outside to dig out plants, especially

when it’s raining, but they eventually learn to love it, said Sarah Highfill, Lincoln-Way Central science department chairwoman. In the early years of the program, the students would discover things such as a deer skull that would leave them in awe.

Highfill said she would love for the schools’ partnership with the forest preserve to continue.

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Color-match concerns for the Rialto Square Theatre’s new terra cotta parapet and window facings have pushed its $2.2 million facelift back to September.

The historic theater had expected to take the first of two deliveries totaling about 3,000 custom-molded pieces of terra cotta at the end of July.

But samples of the claybased building material produced by Shaw’s Terra Cotta of Darwen, England, still were coming in too light, said Mike Biedron, building operations manager for the Rialto.

Shaw’s is one of only three terra cotta manufacturers in the world, Biedron said.

About 90 percent of the pieces will be used on the parapet that rings the roof on the

NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way Central High School and Will County Forest Preserve joined forces this spring to uproot invasive plant species in local forests.

The partnership has been successful enough in eliminating invasive species that the students who participate in the annual program were able to plant new life for the first time this year. Instead of invasive species such as multiflora rose and bush honeysuckles taking up space, students planted nodding pink onions and butterfly milkweeds.

“We made a good difference out there. We cleared out a lot of the invasive species,” said Heather Mackowiak, Lincoln-Way Central biology teacher.

She was one of several biology teachers at the high school who led hundreds of students

in an initiative that began and ended in early May. The students were able to work on the project with forest preserve staff, who gave the students hands-on learning about the Illinois environment.

It would be the fourth year the school and forest preserve helped to control the invasive plant population in the Hickory Creek barrens area near the school. The plants are considered to be aggressive and likely to cause environmental harm by competing for nutrients, water and sunlight.

The students get a kick out of learning more about invasive species and how they can help foster environmental improvements such as planting more milkweeds. The plant is an essential part of the monarch butterfly life cycle, Mackowiak said.

The monarch butterfly population has been declining nationwide, with an 88 percent decline between 1999 and 2012, according to the Il-

Visit from French teen VIEWS Kris Stadalsky

Bolingbrook girl wins national pageant

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com

Manon (pronounced Manoe) Dupuy of Paris, France, spent three weeks in Shorewood living with host family Lisa and Mike Holic, and their teens, Marcus and Danielle.

Manon was part of a group of nine teens who came from France through a program called Share America in which the teens, 14 to 19 years old, become immersed with their American families to learn about American culture and practice their English in a real-world setting.

To be eligible to come to America, the teens have to go through a rigorous enrollment process, have good grades and need a recommendation from a teacher, said local program coordinator Ellen Mytnik.

The first time I met Manon was at the group’s welcome party at Four Seasons Park in Shorewood. All the teens and their host families, or American families, got together to meet each other and share some traditional American picnic food.

They had been in our country for just two days and had been busy getting to know their new families and American traditions.

Manon had the opportunity to work at Shorewood’s summer day camp since the Holic family members are all counselors. She was a big hit and already was having a great time.

That first few days, Manon was looking forward to going to Chicago to see the skyscrapers, which seemed to be the big thing on all their lists. There were a few outings with all the exchange students and families, but most of the time would be spent doing “typical” American things with their American families.

I ran into Manon again, ironically, on her last day in America. She was at Shorewood’s cardboard boat regatta with Marcus and Danielle.

Her two American siblings had a boat in the regatta. It had been built and decorated

Manon chose not to get in the boat and paddle, but she was on the sidelines cheering on Marcus and Danielle.

The first thing I wanted to know was what Manon’s favorite part of America was.

Chicago was “very good,” she said. They don’t have skyscrapers in France.

But the things that were her favorite activities were bowling, Six Flags, the river walk in Naperville and a piece of Connie’s pizza afterward, hiking at Starved Rock and a White Sox game.

All the things Manon did with her American family seemed to be her favorite things.

Sadly, the visit was coming to an end. Later that evening would be the goodbye picnic back at Four Seasons Park.

While they had American food to kick off their stay, the French teens were responsible for helping their new families make traditional French food for the picnic.

Manon showed her family how to make Saucisson, a kind of sausage, and chocolate éclairs (of course).

For Danielle, the best part of the visit was getting to know Manon.

“It was an amazing experience. I think she changed my life forever,” Danielle said.

“She’s like the sister I never had.”

Even younger brother Marcus had a great time and was happy for his sister. “[Danielle] had someone to hang out with and talk to and have fun with,” Marcus said.

Their friendship will not end there, the new siblings agreed. The Holics have started making plans to visit Manon in France.

“We got really close,” Danielle said. “I am excited to see [Manon] in Paris.”

Laraway students learn Newton’s Law of Motion and more at summer session

Tyrrell Pitchford, 11, waits to launch his model rocket at Laraway School on Friday. much to the delight of a crowd of younger students watching the operation from behind the safety of the school’s softball field fence.

Other students brought their rockets up to the pad for launching. Most did.

Danyelle Epting’s rocket soared to the west, its streamer parachute directing its landing over the trees – and onto the railroad tracks.

“Leave it,” O’Connell said.

A good idea since a southbound freight train passed through a few minutes later.

YMCA to lease building in Morris to provide local programming

By JESSICA BOURQUE jbourque@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Morris Community YMCA has found a temporary home in Morris and will begin offering local programming to Grundy County residents in the near future.

The Morris Finance & Administration Committee recommended last week a lease agreement between the YMCA and the city of Morris which will allow the YMCA to rent

the former city hall building at 320 Wauponsee St. Once moved in, the YMCA will provide programs for seniors and children, as well as host community events.

The agreement still needs official approval from City Council.

“We appreciate the support.

We look forward to expanding our footprint in Morris and expanding our services in Grundy County, so thank you,” Greater Joliet Area YMCA Senior Vice President Katy Le-

clair said Thursday.

The three-year agreement includes an option to extend the contract another two years. During the initial three years, the YMCA will be looking for sponsors and collecting donations in hopes of building a permanent facility in Morris.

“This will be our first step toward the introduction of a daily presence here in Morris,” said Missy Durkin, executive director of the Morris Community YMCA.

HELP FOR OBESITYRELATED VISION LOSS If you wondered what was wrong with Bob Costas’ eyes during the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, the sports announcer was forced by a common eye infection to miss nearly half of the event. “Conjunctivitis,” also popularly referred to as “pink eye,” is a highly contagious infection that is commonly seen among school children.

It is caused by bacteria or a virus that inflames the thin membrane (conjunctiva) that lines the eyeball and inner eyelid. The conjunctiva becomes red and swollen, and there is often a discharge from the eye as well a the experience of blurred vision, a gritty sensation, and/or light sensitivity. Viral conjunctivitis, the most common type, usually clears up on its own in about a week.

This informative and interesting column about pink eye has been brought to you as a public service. At VISION CORRECTION CENTER, we have the personnel and the most modern opthalmic instruments to give you the most up-to-date eye care. Please call us to schedule an appointment. We are committed to excellence and providing you the best eye health care possible.

P.S. While bacterial conjunctivitis is more serious than viral conjunctivitis and may require medical treatment, allergic conjunctivitis is caused by pollen or another airborne irritant and does not resolve until the source is eliminated.

JOLIET – Tyrrell Pitchford experienced those three words that no astronaut wants to hear: failure to launch.

Pitchford, 11, was one of about a dozen sixth- and seventh-graders who attend Laraway School’s summer classes that participated Friday in a model rocket launch.

Pitchford’s yellow Estes rocket was the first on the launch pad. He inserted the firing safety pin, waited for the countdown and pressed the launch button. Nothing happened.

A recheck of the fuse and firing mechanism was given the thumbs up by teacher Joan O’Connell, who served as mission control. Pitchford tried again, and got bupkis.

“This is the first time we’ve done it, so we’re going to see how it goes,” O’Connell said, as she reattached the leads to the fuse. “This is how they learn.”

Further examination from mission control determined that Pitchford needed to press both the safety pin and the launch button in order to initiate launch sequence.

This time when the sixth-grader hit the button, his rocket soared like an arrow,

“I get the award for the best crash,” Epting said.

O’Connell added model rocketry to the summer school’s computer/technology program to give students a break from the routine math and reading curriculum.

The class, “How a Rocket Works,” provided lessons in force, mass, acceleration and Newton’s Law of Motion. The group spent about two weeks learning about rockets and building their models.

“I’m just trying to get stuff in that I had as a kid,” O’Connell. “I want them to experience it.”

O’Connell even brought her own rocket to the launching, an 18-inch Shuttle Xpress with two gliders attached.

The rocket session is set to continue Monday, when students will review the performance of their models and discuss how rocket motors work.

The class is part of Laraway’s four-week voluntary summer session, said Gerry Mahalik, the school’s Title 1 manager. Students attend for four weeks to improve core skills.

“These kids are here because they want to be,” Mahalik said. “The new component is technology, and it was a big hit.”

AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE

Joliet woman was a character to the end

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mildred “Mickie” Schneider of Joliet was a feisty, independent, innovative, fun-to-be-around woman who put her family first, agreed her daughters, Joyce Swolley of Joliet and Laura Ruth of Shorewood.

That family included 11 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Mickie was full of surprises. For instance, Laura and Mickie attended many craft shows together – to buy and for ideas – but the best part for Mickie was the accompanying bake sales.

“She loved her sweets,” Laura said.

Considering Mickie once painted a tree mural on her wall and glued “real” crafted birds and Mildred nests to it and loved receiving “Mickie” surprise gifts in Schneider the mail from her daughter Sue Claassen’s country store, even a trip through Hobby Lobby was an adventure.

“We’d walk through every aisle and look at everything,” Joyce said.

Need earrings? Mickie fashioned them out of gum wrappers. Hem dragging? Out came Mickie’s glue gun. How about a quick budget meal?

Try Mickie’s strukla: boiled dough with cottage cheese and caramelized onions.

She planted gardens full of snapdragons, roses, geraniums and petunias, choosing the last two because they were easy, Laura said.

“She always made things look pretty,” Joyce said. “If she had a glass bowl, she’d put glitter on pine cones and add them in with Christmas lights.”

Mickie painted her house inside and out, fixed most things needing repair and changed the oil in her car up until last year, Laura said, despite the fact she had developed macular degeneration.

Heaven forbid if either

woman offered to carry a package or take Mickie’s arm as they walked. Mickie was that independent, Laura said, and that independence continued until Mickie’s death May 6 at age 85.

“She’d say, ‘Do you think I’m old?’ ” Joyce said.

Yet Mickie never left the house without makeup and impeccably styled hair. She eschewed beauty salons, preferring to do her own cutting and coloring, Joyce said. To Mickie, looking snazzy meant dresses, earrings and high heels.

“She was a looker,” Laura said.

For Laura, being younger than her siblings – Cheryl Leler of Minooka, Sue of Mount Sterling, Joyce and Donald Schneider of Ladd – meant teaming up with Mildred for travels to Las Vegas, Lake Geneva and Arcola.

As much as Mickie loved gambling, she won only if Sue’s husband John – her “lucky charm,” Laura said – accompanied her. “Her Rick” – Mickie’s pet name for Joyce’s husband Rick – did home maintenance projects beyond Mickie’s abilities, Joyce said.

Quite possibly, the highlight of Mickie’s life was visiting Graceland with Laura and Sue. Mickie so adored Elvis, she even had a dedicated “Elvis room” in her house for Elvis memorabilia. Her favorite possession was an “Elvis” blanket Joyce made for her.

Looking back over her Mickie’s life, Joyce is awed at the ways she resembles her mother. Joyce worked as a telemarketer. Mickie worked as a telephone operator for Western Electric.

Like her mother, Joyce dedicated a room in her house to a rock star: Aerosmith.

So with those similarities in mind, Joyce set a goal for herself.

“I’m trying to become more independent,” Joyce said.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS TULSA, Okla. – Best-selling author Billie Letts has died at an Oklahoma hospital.

Letts’ publicist, Arlene Johnson, said Letts died Saturday after a brief illness.

Letts was 76.

Letts’ novels include “Where the Heart Is,” which was turned into a movie starring Natalie Portman, Ashley Judd, Stockard Chan-

ning and Joan Cusak. Letts also taught English and creative writing at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in Durant.

She is survived by three sons – Dana Letts, musician Shawn Letts and playwright and actor Tracy Letts. Tracy Letts won a Pulitzer Prize for his play “August: Osage County,” which also was made into a movie starring Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts.

‘American Idol’ contestant Michael Johns dies at 35 The ASSOCIATED PRESS LOS ANGELES – “American Idol” contestant Michael Johns, who appeared in Season 7 of the hit Fox singing competition and was voted off in an eighth-round stunner, has died. He was 35.

The network and his family released statements Saturday confirming the Australian-born singer’s death.

His family says it appreciated the support streaming in from around the world but said the loss of “a wonderful

husband, son, brother, uncle, and friend” was devastating.

Fox called Johns “an incredible talent” and a part of the show’s family who would be missed.

Johns had never been in the show’s bottom three vote-getters when he was eliminated in April 2008. After “Idol,” he released an album, “Hold Back My Heart,” in 2009.

The Hollywood Reporter says Johns died Friday. A cause of death wasn’t immediately available.

Illinois comptroller rivals differ on merger idea

CHICAGO – The two candidates seeking the job of writing checks in a state notoriously behind in paying bills differ on a big issue hovering over the state comptroller’s office – whether to eliminate it by merging it with the treasurer’s office.

Republican incumbent Judy Baar Topinka said it’s a no-brainer, since combining offices saves money, but her Democratic challenger, Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon, said there are other ways to cut costs. The two explained their positions in an Associated Press candidate questionnaire focused on the matchup between the GOP veteran and the daughter of the late Democratic U.S. Sen. Paul Simon, which promises to be one of Illinois’ most watched November contests.

The comptroller pays the bills, while the treasurer invests state money. Talk of joining the offices has percolated for years, but without generating enough support in the Legislature for the constitutional amendment that would be required. The debate breaks down between those who argue it’ll make the cash-strapped government more efficient and those who believe the two offices maintain important checks and balances on power.

Simon, who decided not to seek a second term as Gov. Pat Quinn’s running mate, said that changing the constitution would be unnecessary if the two offices merely communicated better.

She promised a quick review of costs if she is elected.

Lollapalooza attendees look for cover Sunday as rain storms roll in at the Lollapalooza Music Festival in Chicago’s Grant Park. The three-day music event featured artists such as Eminem, Kings of Leon, Arctic Monkeys and Lorde.

funneled part of his wealth to a Caribbean territory long considered a tax haven, a business practice the venture capitalist defended on Sunday, stressing there was no impact on his personal tax rate.

Rauner spoke with reporters the same day a published report detailed how three of five of Rauner’s Cayman Island holdings are tied to GTCR, a Chicago-based private equity firm Rauner helped found. The Chicago Sun-Times cited a comparison of investments Rauner listed on a state economic disclosure form with the online corporate registry maintained by the Cayman Islands government.

Examination of Chicago’s red-light cameras grows

CHICAGO – The investigation is widening into whether Chicago’s red-light camera system resulted in traffic tickets to motorists who didn’t deserve them, with an official saying the city is nearly doubling the number of questionable tickets it is examining.

The Chicago Sun-Times reported in a story published Sunday that Mayor Rahm Emanuel spokeswoman Kelley Quinn said the number of tickets under review for possible refunds has climbed from the 9,000 a city official said were being looked at last month to 16,000.

The announcement comes after the Chicago Tribune revealed that its own investigation found that

the red-light camera system may have issued thousands of tickets under questionable circumstances. The paper found that at a dozen intersections that saw the most dramatic spikes, there were more than 13,000 questionable tickets.

Hunter said, “When someone needs an insulin shot, they do not have time to find the nearest restroom sometimes.” She said the law will end embarrassment, make it easier for people dealing with a difficult disease and save lives.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Official: Mechanical failure caused lab blast TOTOWA, N.J. – A fire official said a mechanical failure apparently caused two explosions at a food laboratory in northern New Jersey, leaving two workers with cuts and bruises.

Totowa Fire Marshal Allen Del Vecchio told The Star-Ledger he felt the blast from Pharmachem Laboratories in Totowa at his house a mile away.

Pharmachem produces ingredients that flavor foods. Workers said they had just started on a new recipe for eggnog when the blast occurred.

Del Vecchio said the first explosion apparently came from a furnace-like device that was heating a vat containing eggnog flavoring ingredients. A subsequent blast apparently involved a pocket of hot air or gas that had built up inside the vat.

The entire rear of the building was blown out.

Del Vecchio said several people could have been killed in the blast, had it not been a weekend when only a skeleton crew was present.

Bertha drifting away from Turks & Caicos, Bahamas PROVIDENCIALES, Turks & Caicos Islands – Tropical Storm Bertha drifted away from the Turks & Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas on Sunday afternoon, prompting officials to discontinue all storm warnings and coastal watches.

The storm had buffeted parts of the two Caribbean archipelagos with rain and gusty winds after

crossing over the Dominican Republic, where overflowing rivers from downpours led to the temporary evacuation of dozens of families.

There were no reports of damage in the drenched Turks & Caicos or the southern Bahamas, where residents reported mostly sunny weather as Bertha’s center tracked over open water.

As the storm’s center swirled over the Atlantic, its maximum sustained winds remained at 45 mph, but some strengthening was expected over the next two days. Bertha was moving northwest at about 18 mph with tropical storm force winds extending outward up to 160 miles.

‘No chance’ of finding 159 Nepal landslide victims KATMANDU, Nepal – There is no chance of finding any of the more than 150 people who are believed to have been buried by a massive landslide in northern Nepal, an official said Sunday, as rescuers struggled to dig through piles of rock, mud and trees.

Rescuers have so far recovered only eight bodies since the landslide early Saturday blocked a mountain river, causing the water to form a lake that was threatening to burst and sweep several villages. Fresh rainfall on Sunday hampered search attempts.

“We have no chance of finding any of the missing people alive under this pile of debris,” said Yadav Prasad Koirala, who heads the government’s Department of Natural Disaster Management.

Israel withdraws most troops from Gaza Strip

By KARIN LAUB and JOSEF FEDERMAN The Associated Press GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israel withdrew most of its ground troops from the Gaza Strip on Sunday in an apparent winding down of the nearly monthlong operation against Hamas that has left more than 1,800 Palestinians and more than 60 Israelis dead.

Even as Israel said it was close to completing its mission, heavy fighting raged in parts of Gaza, with at least 10 people killed in what U.N. and Palestinian officials said was an Israeli airstrike near a U.N. shelter. The United States lashed out at Israel, saying it was “appalled” by the “disgraceful” attack.

And with Hamas officials vowing to continue their fight, it remained uncertain whether Israel could unilaterally end the war.

Israel launched its military operation in Gaza on July 8 in response to weeks of heavy rocket fire, carrying out hundreds of airstrikes across the crowded seaside territory.

It then sent in ground forces July 17 in what it said was a mission to destroy the tunnels used by Hamas to carry out attacks.

Hamas has fired more than 3,000 rockets into Israel during what has turned into the bloodiest round of fighting ever between the two enemies.

Lt. Col. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, confirmed the bulk of ground troops had been pulled out of Gaza after the military concluded it had destroyed most of the tunnel network.

He said Israel had detected some 30 tunnels that were dug along the border for what he called a “synchronized attack” on Israel.

“We’ve caused substantial

damage to this network to an extent where we’ve basically taken this huge threat and made it minimal,” he said.

The army had thousands of troops in Gaza at the height of the operation.

In southern Israel, armored vehicles could be seen rolling slowly onto the back of large flatbed trucks near the Gaza border, while soldiers folded flags from atop a tank and rolled up their belongings and sleeping bags.

Lerner said, however, that the operation was not over and that Israel would continue to target Hamas’ rocket-firing capabilities and its ability to infiltrate Israel.

The Israeli military said early Monday it would hold fire for a seven-hour “humanitarian window,” saying the truce would not apply to areas where troops were still operating. The military said it would respond to any attacks during that time.

Strong earthquake kills at least 381 in China

By JACK CHANG The Associated Press BEIJING – Rescuers dug through shattered homes Monday looking for survivors of a strong earthquake in southern China’s Yunnan province that killed at least 381 people and injured more than 1,800.

About 12,000 homes collapsed in Ludian, a densely populated county located about 277 miles northeast of Yunnan’s capital, Kunming, China’s official Xinhua News Agency reported.

The magnitude-6.1 quake struck at 4:30 p.m. Sunday at a depth of 6 miles, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Its epicenter was in Longtoushan township, 14 miles southwest of the city of Zhaotong, the Ludian county seat. China’s earthquake monitoring agency put the magnitude at 6.5.

Ma Liya, a resident of Zhaotong, told Xinhua that the streets there were like a “battlefield after a bombardment.”

She added that her neighbor’s house, a new two-story building, had toppled, and said the quake was far worse than one

that struck the area in 2012 and killed 81 people.

“The aftermath is much, much worse than what happened after the quake two years ago,” Ma said. “I have never felt such strong tremors before. What I can see are all ruins.”

Rain and thunderstorms were forecast for the area in the coming hours, complicating efforts to bring tents, water food and other relief supplies to survivors. Roads had caved in, and rescuers were forced to travel on foot.

Xinhua and state broadcaster CCTV said 381 people were killed, citing rescuers.

CCTV said 1,891 were injured, three were missing and 29,400 had been evacuated.

The death toll was expected to rise, once rescuers reached remote communities to assess casualties.

Many of the homes that collapsed in Ludian, which has a population of about 429,000, were old and made of brick, Xinhua said, adding that electricity and telecommunications were cut off in the county.

The mountainous region where the quake occurred

is largely agricultural, with farming and mining the top industries, and is prone to earthquakes.

Relief efforts were underway, with more than 2,500 troops dispatched to the disaster region, Xinhua said. The Red Cross Society of China allocated quilts, jackets and tents for those made homeless by the quake, while Red Cross branches in Hong Kong, Macau and neighboring Sichuan province also sent relief supplies.

U.N. Secretar y-General Ban Ki-moon offered “his condolences to the Chinese Government and the families of those killed,” according to a statement from his office.

The statement said the U.N. is ready to “lend its assistance to efforts to respond to humanitarian needs” and “to mobilize any international support needed.”

The White House also offered its condolences.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of those that lost their lives,” said National Security Council deputy spokeswoman Bernadette Meehan. “The United States stands ready to assist.”

U.S. missionary with Ebola leaving Liberia on Tuesday

By BILL BARROW and KRISTA LARSON The Associated Press ATLANTA – A second American missionary stricken with Ebola is expected to fly Tuesday to the U.S. for treatment, following a colleague who was admitted over the weekend to Emory University Hospital’s infectious disease unit.

A Liberian official confirmed to the Associated Press plans for Nancy Writebol to depart with a medical evacuation team. The official, Information Minister Lewis Brown, said the evacuation flight was scheduled to leave West Africa between 1 a.m. and 1.30 a.m. local time Tuesday.

Writebol is in good spirits despite her diagnosis, said the pastor of her hometown church in Charlotte, North Carolina, who has spoken with her husband, David.

“She is holding her own,” the Rev. John Munro said.

Munro’s Calvary Church is a nondenominational evangelical congregation that

sponsors the Writebols as missionaries in Liberia, one of the West African nations grappling with the worst outbreak of Ebola ever recorded there.

Writebol’s mission team partner, Dr. Kent Brantly, was improving Sunday after he was admitted to Emory’s quarantine unit a day earlier, according to a statement from his wife.

“Our family is rejoicing over Kent’s safe arrival, and we are confident that he is receiving the very best care,” Amber Brantly said, adding that she was able to see her husband Sunday.

Brantly and Nancy Writebol served on the same mission team treating Ebola victims when they contracted the virus themselves.

Brantly was serving as a physician in the hospital compound near Monrovia, Liberia, when he became infected. They said Writebol worked as a hygienist whose role included decontaminating those entering or leaving the Ebola treatment area at that hospital.

U.S. sent Latin youth undercover in anti-Cuba ploy The ASSOCIATED PRESS WASHINGTON – An Obama administration program secretly dispatched young Latin Americans to Cubausing the cover of health and civic programs to provoke political change, a clandestine operation that put those foreigners in danger even after a U.S. contractor was hauled away to a Cuban jail.

Beginning as early as October 2009, a project overseen by the U.S. Agency for International Development sent Venezuelan, Costa Rican and Peruvian young people to Cuba in hopes of ginning up rebellion.

The travelers worked undercover, often posing as tourists, and traveled around the island scouting for people they could

turn into political activists.

In one case, the workers formed an HIV-prevention workshop that memos called “the perfect excuse” for the program’s political goals – a gambit that could undermine America’s efforts to improve health globally.

But their efforts were fraught with incompetence and risk, an Associated Press investigation found: Cuban authorities questioned who was bankrolling the travelers.

The young workers nearly blew their mission to “identify potential social-change actors.” One said he got a paltry, 30-minute seminar on how to evade Cuban intelligence, and there appeared to be no safety net for the inexperienced workers if they were caught.

“Although there is never total certainty, trust that the authorities will not try to harm you physically, only frighten you,” read a memo obtained by the AP. “Remember that the Cuban government prefers to avoid negative media reports abroad, so a beaten foreigner is not convenient for them.”

In all, nearly a dozen Latin Americans served in the program in Cuba, for pay as low as $5.41 an hour.

The AP found USAID and its contractor, Creative Associates International, continued the program even as U.S. officials privately told their government contractors to consider suspending travel to Cuba after the arrest of contractor Alan Gross, who re-

mains imprisoned after smuggling in sensitive technology.

“We value your safety,” one senior USAID official said in an email. “The guidance applies to ALL travelers to the island, not just American citizens,” another official said.

The revelations of the USAID program come as the White House faces questions about the once-secret “Cuban Twitter” project, known as ZunZuneo. That program, launched by USAID in 2009 and uncovered by the AP in April, established a primitive social media network under the noses of Cuban officials.

USAID’s inspector general is investigating that program, which ended in September, 2012.

Officials said USAID

launched “discreet” programs like ZunZuneo to increase the flow of information in a country that heavily restricts it. But the AP’s earlier investigation found ZunZuneo was political in nature and drew in subscribers unaware that the service was paid for by the U.S. government.

“USAID and the Obama administration are committed to supporting the Cuban people’s desire to freely determine their own future,” the agency said in response to written questions from the AP. “USAID works with independent youth groups in Cuba on community service projects, public health, the arts and other opportunities to engage publicly, consistent with democracy programs worldwide.”

Syrian rebels kill 10, capture others in Lebanon raid

By DIAA HADID BEIRUT – Syrian rebels killed 10 Lebanese troops and likely captured over a dozen more in a raid on a Lebanese border town, the country’s military chief said, the most serious spillover of violence yet into the tiny country from its neighbor’s civil war.

The capture of Lebanese soldiers and police raised fears that the country could become further entangled in the Syrian civil war and could worsen already-brewing sectarian tensions.

“What happened today is more serious than what some people imagine,” Lebanon’s army chief, Gen. Jean Kahwaji, told journalists.

As fighting raged Sunday, some residents tried to flee from the eastern Lebanese border town of Arsal, home to 40,000 residents and 120,000 Syrian refugees.

The attack began Saturday as Syrian rebels made a cross-border raid into Arsal, some 55 miles from the capital, Beirut. The clashes continued into Sunday around the municipal building and an army checkpoint, Lebanon’s state news agency reported. Local television footage showing wailing ambulances racing into town and soldiers standing guard just outside its limits.

The raid came hours after the army said troops detained Syrian Imad Ahmad Jomaa, who identified himself as a member of the Nusra Front. The state-run National News Agency said Jomaa was detained as he was being brought to a hospital in Lebanon after being wounded while fighting Syrian troops.

The Nusra Front is one of the most powerful groups fighting to overthrow the rule of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

week in an interview with The Associated Press.

The court’s rejection of Wood’s claim that he was entitled to learn more about Arizona’s procedures and the source of the execution drugs came at the end of protracted legal wrangling. A federal judge in Arizona initially denied Wood’s claim.

The federal appeals court in San Francisco then granted a reprieve. But the justices reversed that ruling in a brief order. The court said the judge who initially ruled against Wood “did not abuse his discretion.”

In death cases, the court often is the last stop for inmates seeking a last-minute reprieve. They rarely succeed, a function of the need for five votes on the nine-justice court and the reluctance of appellate judges to disturb lower court rulings unless they are demonstrably wrong.

Gunmen drive away Saturday with about a dozen men, two in camouflage police uniforms, in Arsal, a Sunni Muslim town in eastern Lebanon near the Syrian border.

WASHINGTON – No one on the Supreme Court objected publicly when the justices voted to let Arizona proceed with the execution of Joseph Wood, who unsuccessfully sought information about the drugs that would be used to kill him.

Inmates in Florida and Missouri went to their deaths by lethal injection in the preceding weeks after the high court refused to block their executions. Again, no justice said the executions should be stopped.

Even as the number of executions annually has dropped by more than half over the past 15 years and the court has barred states from killing juveniles and the mentally disabled, no justice has emerged as a principled opponent of the death penalty.

This court differs from some of its predecessors. Justices William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall dissented every time their colleagues ruled against death row inmates, and Justices Harry Blackmun and John Paul Stevens, near the end of their long careers, came to view capital punishment as unconstitutional.

“They’re all voting to kill them, every so often. They do it in a very workmanlike, technocratic fashion,” Stephen Bright, a veteran death penal-

ty lawyer in Georgia, said of the current court.

Wood’s execution July 23 was the 26th in the United States this year and the third in which prisoners took much longer than usual to die.

Wood, convicted of killing his estranged girlfriend and her father, was pronounced dead nearly two hours after his execution began, and an Associated Press reporter was among witnesses who said Wood appeared to gasp repeatedly, hundreds of times in all, before he died.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said she and her colleagues are aware of what happened in Arizona, although she declined to say how the court would rule on a plea to stop the next scheduled execution – of Michael Worthington on Wednesday in Missouri.

“Your crystal ball is as good as mine,” she said last

Immigration still flummoxes GOP

By CHARLES BABINGTON The Associated Press WASHINGTON – Midterm elections that will decide control of the Senate are three months away, and the 2016 presidential campaign will start in earnest soon after.

Yet the Republican Party still can’t figure out what to do about illegal immigration.

It’s the issue that vexed Republicans as much as any in their 2012 presidential loss.

It’s the one problem the party declared it must resolve to win future presidential races. And it still managed to bedevil the party again last week, when House Republicans splintered and stumbled for a day before passing a face-saving bill late Friday night.

The fiasco proved anew that a small number of uncompromising conservatives have the power to hamper the efforts of GOP leaders to craft coherent positions on key issues – including one that nearly two-thirds of Americans say is important to them personal-

ly, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll released last week.

“It would be very bad for Republicans in the House not to offer their vision of how they would fix the problem,” South Carolina GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham said when the initial House bill on immigration collapsed. While Republicans in the House are able to reject the proposals of Democrats, Graham said, that’s not enough: “At least they have a vision.”

While often a flashpoint issue among Republicans in their primaries this year, the party could get a grace period of sorts in November. Immigration appears likely to have only a modest impact on the roughly 10 Senate races that will determine control of the chamber. The possible exception is the race between Democratic Sen. Mark Udall and GOP Rep. Cory Gardner in Colorado, where Hispanic voters made up 14 percent of the electorate in 2012.

Even if President Barack

Hal Rogers, R-Ky., make their presentations ready on Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday as the House Rules Committee met to take the procedural steps to bring a new legislative package to the floor to deal with the influx of migrant children at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Obama moves ahead with a proposal to give work permits to millions of immigrants living in the country illegally, removing the threat of deportation, Democratic strategists say Republicans won’t reap much of a benefit. Republi-

Ukraine army nears rebel stronghold

By YURAS KARMANAU The Associated Press DONETSK, Ukraine – Fighting raged Sunday on the western outskirts of Donetsk as the advancing Ukrainian army tried to seize control of the rebel stronghold. In danger of being encircled, the separatists renewed their calls for Russia to send troops to their aid.

To support their operations, the pro-Russian fighters have been confiscating vehicles and food from residents and businesses in Donetsk. The center of the major industrial city is all but deserted, with few people or cars on the streets and most stores and restaurants closed.

A spokesman for the Ukrainian military operation, Alexei Dmitrashkovsky, told The Associated Press that government soldiers were fighting Sunday to hold positions they had taken on the edge of Donetsk, but were meeting resistance.

In the part of the city closest to the fighting, an artillery shell hit a school overnight, but no one was reported hurt.

“The shell went through the roof and exploded inside the building, setting off a fire, but we still don’t know who fired

The sound of gunfire and explosions was heard just to the west.

Pavel Gubarev, the self-proclaimed governor of the separatist Donetsk region, said the rebels would win quickly if Russia sent troops.

“Of course it would be great to see Russian peacekeepers here: strong artillery units, tank brigades,” Gubarev said. “This war would be over in a day, maybe two.”

Ukraine and the West say they have

evidence that Russia is arming the separatists. Russia denies this and describes the Russian citizens fighting in eastern Ukraine as volunteers.

The conflict began after the Moscow-leaning president was ousted in February after months of street protests and a new pro-Western government took power in Kiev. Alarmed by the prospect of Ukraine moving closer to the European Union and NATO, Russian President Vladimir Putin fomented the pro-Russia insurgency in the mostly Russian-speaking east with the apparent aim of winning an agreement that would allow Moscow to maintain its influence in Ukraine.

If he is unable to win such a compromise and the Ukrainian army continues to take back rebel-held cities and towns, Putin may come under increased pressure to intervene militarily.

Many Donetsk residents have counted on help from Russia.

“What is Putin waiting for? He inspired us to fight,” said Ilya Sumyatin, a 38-year-old separatist fighter. “We had hoped for help from Russia, but we have been abandoned. Our strength is nearing an end and the Ukrainian army is advancing.”

nothing the president can do can get them above the ceiling,” said Rep. Steve Israel of New York, head of the Democrats’ efforts to win House elections. “But swing voters and persuadable voters, they want solutions.”

Hispanics made up less than 3 percent of all registered voters in 2012 in seven other states with competitive Senate races: Louisiana, Arkansas, North Carolina, Iowa, Michigan, Georgia and Kentucky. So any Democratic benefits from an Obama executive action on immigration could be just as limited.

Still, a few Democratic senators in those tight contests – including Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mark Pryor of Arkansas – are putting some distance between themselves and the president. The White House, Pryor said, is “sending mixed messages: telling folks not to cross the border illegally and then turning around to hand out work permits to people who are already here illegally.”

Insurgents seize small Iraqi towns

By BRAM JANSSEN The Associated Press IRBIL, Iraq – Militants with the Islamic State extremist group on Sunday seized two small towns in northern Iraq after driving out Kurdish security forces, further expanding the territories under their control, officials and residents said.

The fresh gains by the Sunni extremist militants have forced thousands of residents to flee from the religiously mixed towns of Zumar and Sinjar, toward the northern self-ruled Kurdish region, the United Nations said. Some of them were trapped in an open rugged area, it added.

Mosul Governor Atheel al-Nujaifi told The Associated Press that the two towns fell after fierce clashes that erupted the day before.

ANOTHER VIEW

Ryan’s plan on poverty worth a look Two points are critical in putting Rep. Paul Ryan’s new poverty plan into perspective.

One – Ryan says this is the start of a conversation, not a final proposal.

Two – the Janesville, Wisconsin, Republican emphasizes that the plan is not intended to reduce the money spent on helping the poor.

Those acknowledgements should be enough to get both sides of the political aisle at least talking about what can be done to help the less-fortunate.

Whatever Ryan’s motive, this is a different take for him on addressing poverty. In the past, the powerful congressman – who serves as chairman of the House Budget Committee – has consistently proposed changes in the support network that were designed to streamline programs and cut costs.

Partly because of that, many Democrats are skeptical of Ryan’s sincerity. Ryan, for his part, is asking for a dialogue and an opportunity to work with progressives in an effort to find common ground on this historically troublesome and divisive issue.

Ryan unveiled the plan last month after more than a year of budget hearings and personal visits to urban communities around the country. As summarized by Craig Gilbert of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the plan embraces some ideas that Democrats support, such as expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit and reforming mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines to reduce the prison population.

It also includes approaches backed by Republicans, such as block grants to states that would allow them to experiment with funding and programs, and tailor initiatives to their specific needs.

In particular, the changes to the Earned Income Credit should garner broad support.

The proposal would expand the credit beyond families with children to more childless workers. Ryan also would lower the eligibility age from 25 to 21. The idea is to remove disincentives to work and to draw more young people into the workforce.

Ryan also proposes a review of sentencing guidelines with the intent of reducing incarceration among low-risk and nonviolent offenders. As the Journal Sentinel’s Gilbert explained, the plan would give federal judges more flexibility in sentencing drug offenders, expanding rehabilitation programs and allowing some prisoners who participate in those programs to cut time off their sentences.

Proposals are experiments worth consideration • RYAN Continued from page 17 The congressman will have a harder time selling his block grant plan, which many Democrats will question and oppose out of the belief that many states can’t be trusted to make good decisions about helping their

poor and will find ways to cut spending on programs.

The key, though, is that these would be experiments that would be monitored, revised and even scrapped if they don’t prove effective.

Is all of this about Ryan rebranding himself on the issue in preparation for a presidential run in 2016?

That could be part of it,

but we take him at his word that he genuinely wants to address poverty in America in a fair and long-term manner.

We hope others who don’t see eye to eye with Ryan on many other issues at least give this proposal the consideration it deserves. adno=0272392

Slammers put it all together vs. Boomers

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After collecting 25 hits but leaving 24 men on base during losses Friday and Saturday, the Joliet Slammers were determined to get the most out of their hitting efforts in Sunday’s Frontier League game with Schaumburg.

While Joliet continued its hot hitting, slapping out 13 hits, it also didn’t leave many players stranded – just six.

That, combined with a decent pitching performance, resulted in an 11-3 victory over the Boomers before 2,089 at Silver Cross Field.

Schaumburg tied things at 2-2 in the top of the fifth after Alexi Colon smacked his second solo shot of the day and his eighth homer of the season.

But the Slammers answered with five runs in the bottom of that frame and then removed all doubts after scoring four runs on three home runs in the seventh inning.

Leading the way for the Slammers was Adam Giacalone, who went 4 for 4 with one of those homers in addition to a double to highlight a day on which he drove in five runs, which was one more than he had in his team’s recent 13-2 win over the Frontier Greys.

Chris Epps went 3 for 4, Seth Granger (homer, 2 RBI) was 2 for 4 and Matt Weaver went 2 for 5. Russell Moldenhauer (homer) and Josh Scheffert also added a pair of RBI for Joliet.

“We’re very capable of putting up runs, and our pitching staff is capable of throwing like they did today,” said Giacalone, who had his season-best RBI total. “We had three home runs in the seventh inning, and that was awesome, especially with the lefty-lefty matchup.

“We still have about 30 games left, and anything can happen, but we definitely have to take it one game at a time. I think we’re right there, but it comes down to driving in those guys who get into scoring position; and to-

day we did it, and hopefully we continue doing that.”

Starter and winner Kody McFarland allowed only four hits, two of which were Colon’s blasts, while striking out five in six innings of work.

Sam Moore, Harry Marino, Jordan Wellander, Kevin McNorton and David Kubiak combined to pitch the final three innings for Joliet. That group allowed three hits and one earned run while striking out five hitters.

After frustrating 4-2 and 8-7 defeats on the previous two nights, Slammers manager Jeff Isom was pleased to see his squad put everything together in Sunday’s contest “I think that all of the built-up frustration that we’ve been having with all of the guys left on base even though we’ve been getting our hits helped us,” said Isom, whose squad concludes its series with Schaumburg at 7:05 p.m. Monday. “Finally, we got some key hits in those situations to score some runs.

Hopefully, guys can relax a little at the plate.

“Kody didn’t have his best stuff, but he got himself out of some tough situations. I think he only threw two or three breaking balls or off-speed pitches for strikes so he did it all with his fastball. We’ve got to remember how we felt today and carry that over. Our goal now is to try to take the series, and we’ve given ourselves an opportunity to win another one.”

Providence looking forward to 2014 school year after 22-15 finish in 2013

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com

• Monday, August 4, 2014

PALOS HEIGHTS – Although a team’s summer performance does not always result in success in the upcoming season, there’s a good bet that the strong showing

by Providence Catholic’s girls volleyball squad will transfer over to this fall’s campaign.

That’s because the Celtics have enjoyed a remarkable consistency during their 41 years playing the sport.

They’ve only had four losing seasons and a year ago joined an elite group of programs that have won 1,000 or more matches in their history.

Under the longtime guidance of Nan Airola – and in recent years by Rachel Ellingson, who was an All-State setter and a 10-year assistant for Airola – the beat figures to go on for Providence despite the fact that it graduated much of its 22-15 squad from a year ago.

The Celtics closed out their summer league play on a high mark on Thursday when they advanced to the championship match of the tournament at Palos Courts, which caps a four-week-long stretch of play for many top southwest suburban squads.

Although Providence fell short of winning the title, dropping a 25-14, 25-20 decision to coach Mary Brown’s Lincoln-Way North squad, Ellingson was pleased by what she saw from her team during its four matches on the final day of the event.

After defeating TF South in three sets in their opener, the Celtics won, 25-21, 25-14, over Lemont and then rallied for an 18-25, 26-24, 15-12 win over De La Salle in the semifinals.

The Celtics won their first eight scheduled matches in the competition before falling to Sandburg and Lincoln-Way North to place them third in their pool heading into the tourney.

Celtics fall in summer league finals

Curt Herron – cherron@shawmedia.com

Players on Providence Catholic’s volleyball squad say their closeness as a team helps them communicate and win on the court.

Providence was the lone area squad to reach the final four in the event. Top-seeded Lincoln-Way East got upset

by De La Salle in three sets in the quarterfinals, which is the same round in which Lockport was eliminated by the eventual tournament champions.

“I can honestly say that this was a collective effort,” Ellingson said. “There’s not someone that I could say won or lost games or anything like that. I’m very blessed with who I have this season, and I know that they’ll continue to work hard.

“I think that they saw how much they need each other tonight. We’ll continue to work and improve on certain parts,

“Our strengths are our communication and connections with each other.”

and then we should be ready to go. What they do here is great for us, not only to see what we have as a program but also for what other programs have. There’s always a lot of great competition here, but it’s also fun and the girls enjoy it.”

Among the seniors on the squad are twin sisters Grace

Barrett, a middle hitter, and Tess Barrett, an outside hitter, plus libero Cory Griffith and middle hitter Kaitlyn Peil.

Juniors that the Celtics will be looking to include outside hitter Emily Boggetto, middle hitter Katie Compagno and setters Rachel Alles and Liza Ellingson, the coach’s daughter.

“We have great chemistry and great energy as a team, and we work together well as a team,” Alles said. “Our strengths are our communication and connections with each other.

“We have the fight in us, and we’ll push to finish. We’re a strong team; and when we fight, we can succeed. We

know that we’ll have to work very hard to do well in our conference and overall.”

The coach’s daughter also believes that the closeness that exists among team members should benefit them as this fall.

“A lot of us have been together since freshman year, and we’ve great friends throughout each season,” Liza Ellingson said. “That makes it easier for us to play together since we know how to communicate.

“We all work together really well. And we know how each of us are temperwise, so we can settle each other down.

We want to win just as badly as anyone else, and we push until we get there.”

YOUTH BASEBALL

Channahon’s Mazzocchi in PONY’s Hall of Fame Youth becomes first girl to pitch and record a strikeout in the Mustang-9 World Series

Mackenzie Mazzocchi’s jersey will be in the PONY Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in Washington, Penn.

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Last weekend, the baseball world witnessed some of the greatest players of all time entering the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York.

It was one of the more impressive classes in a while, featuring former Cub pitcher Greg Maddux and former White Sox slugger Frank Thomas along with Tony LaRussa, Tom Glavine, Bobby Cox and Joe Torre.

While it may not be in the class of Cooperstown, Channahon’s Mackenzie Mazzocchi was given a spot in the PONY Baseball Hall of Fame over the same weekend.

Mazzocchi was a member of the Channahon 9U Mustang baseball team that played in the Mustang-9 World Series in Walnut, California. Channahon lost its two games at the World Series – 13-0, to Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico, and 6-0 to Corpus Christi, Texas – but the weekend wasn’t a lost cause by any means.

Mazzocchi came on to pitch for Channahon in the game against Mexico and in the process became the first girl to pitch and record a strikeout in the Mustang-9 World Series. Representatives from PONY Baseball were on hand to witness the event, and after the game they asked her to put her name on the jersey she wore so they could give it a spot in the PONY Baseball Hall of Fame Museum in Washington, Pennsylvania.

“I was very excited,” Mazzocchi said during a stop her family made in Colorado on the drive home. “They said it was because I was the only girl that pitched and recorded a strikeout in the World Series.”

While it may seem odd for some to see that a girl is playing baseball instead of softball, Mazzocchi gives perfectly sound reasons for it.

“The ball is smaller, so it makes it easier to get my hand around it and throw and pitch,” she said. “Plus, baseball bats have a bigger barrel, and that makes it easier to hit.”

Mackenzie doesn’t seem to have any problem being the only girl on a team full of boys. And she loves playing baseball. In fact, she said she would

“The boys are really nice to me,” she said. “We have fun playing baseball together.

“The beach was fun, but I would have rather been playing baseball.”

Mazzocchi’s father, Eddie, said it was a decision that has worked out well.

“The boys on the team have been excellent,” Eddie Mazzocchi said. “They are still boys, though, and when it comes to hanging out and stuff after the games, they want to be in a group with all the boys. But when they are on the bench together and on the field,

they are all part of a team, and there is no boy-girl stuff.

“Sometimes, we hear that from the other team, like ‘Hey, what’s that girl doing up there batting?’ or ‘Don’t let this girl strike you out.’

“But if she gets a hit or makes a play in the field or does strike someone out, those comments go away. When she proves she belongs, they treat her just like any other player.”

As Mackenzie gets older, the Mazzocchi parents know they are going to have a decision to make. In fact, that day is getting closer and closer.

“We are actually talking about it on the way home,” Eddie Mazzocchi said.

“She has had a softball coach or two already come up to her and want her to play with them next year. Sooner or

later, it’s going to have to happen. The gap is going to widen between her and the boys.

“The weird thing is, she doesn’t pitch at all in softball. She throws overhand way better than she does underhand.

“It was kind of sad after the last game.

The coaches have all been real supportive of her being with the team, but they mentioned after the game that one boy is moving away and Mackenzie is probably going to start playing softball, but that they will always be part of this team. That made us feel real good.

“Plus, it will be real cool for her to say someday in the future that she got put into the Hall of Fame on the same weekend as Frank Thomas and Greg Maddux.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. celebrates in Victory Lane on Sunday after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series auto race at Pocono Raceway in Long Pond, Pa. from the Chase.”

The legion of Junior Nation fans roared when Earnhardt stormed ahead of the pack off the final restart with three laps left for the lead. His third win, he also won the Daytona 500, tied him for the most in Sprint Cup this season.

Earnhardt held off the hard-charging Kevin Harvick

to become the first driver to sweep both races at the track since Denny Hamlin in 2006.

He tweeted “Lookin for a broom” last week when he landed in Pocono.

He found one in Victory Lane.

“This group all really enjoys each other,” Earnhardt said. “We want to see every-

wins since he won six times in 2004. His three wins are one shy of his combined total from 2005-2013.

His win Sunday was the 22nd of a career still without a Cup championship.

“We had a fast car all day,” Earnhardt said. “Steve’s strategy was perfect at the end. I don’t know if anyone knew what was going on there, but it was pretty awesome.”

Earnhardt said before the race his No. 88 Chevrolet was better than his winner in June. They were both fast enough to take the checkered flag. He had a bit of luck in his first win when debris slowed down race leader Brad Keselowski. On Sunday, no one could touch Earnhardt over the final 14 laps.

“We were determined to go home from the last win and improve the car,” he said.

Earnhardt and Letarte are clicking in their final season together. Hendrick Motorsports named Greg Ives the crew chief for 2015 once Letarte heads to the broadcast booth.

BEARS AT BOURBONNAIS

A former college QB, Miller, in thick of No. 2 TE battle

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@chicagofootball.com Zach Miller has not caught a pass in a regular-season game since October 2011, when he had a 14-yard touchdown catch for the Jaguars.

Injuries have kept Miller from picking up where he left off in 2010 with Jacksonville, when he played in 15 games with five starts and had 20 catches for 216 yards. Now, the 2009 sixth-round draft pick’s goal is to stay healthy and win a four-man battle at tight end to be Martellus Bennett’s backup.

The 6-foot-5, 236-pounder is more of a receiving threat, like Dante Rosario, as opposed to being a block-first tight end

like Matthew Mulligan and Jeron Mastrud. With that in mind, Miller knows showing off his blocking will be key.

“That’s something I’m trying to work on every day. For me, that’s got to be technique wise, because I’m going to win with technique,” he said. “I’m going to win with hand placement and footwork and things like that.”

Bears coach Marc Trestman is in his second summer without a clear No. 2 tight end.

Last year’s camp featured Kyle Adams, Gabe Miller, Leonard Pope and Fendi Onobun, and it was a trade for Rosario before Week One that landed the team its eventual backup, but Rosario had only one catch, and he

gave way to Eben Britton as an extra blocker. “… When you’re looking at the other four guys, they really are very smart,” Trestman said. “They all have good, sufficient hands and are good route runners. At the point of attack, we’ve got a couple of guys who are legitimate guys who can go in there in be at-the-point-of-attack tight ends, a pass blocking tight end, so that helps us.”

Where Miller can set himself apart is his athleticism and knowledge of offense from his college position. The 29year old was a quarterback at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, where he left as the school’s career leader in scoring, touchdowns and comple-

“From the football side of it and the mental aspect of it, I see coverages a lot better,” Miller said.

“I feel super comfortable seeing rotation and things like

that and fronts. I can ID defenses, which helps me running routes, or our combination blocks, and things like that.

Having a quarterback background helps me on the mental aspect of football.”

LONG POND, Pa. – Dale Earnhardt Jr. traded hats, waited for his cue, and flashed three fingers for the cameras.

That’s one for every win.

The beer baths, champagne toasts, selfies, and photo opps in Victory Lane are almost routine now for Junior.

He added a new wrinkle at Pocono, a broom.

Earnhardt hoisted the broom high over his head after he completed a season sweep at Pocono Raceway, the third win in a season that has served as a career renaissance for NASCAR’s most popular driver.

Earnhardt now holds the No. 1 seed in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Can he keep the momentum headed into NASCAR’s version of the playoffs?

“You’re the broadcaster,” Earnhardt teased crew chief Steve Letarte about that question.

“You don’t,” the departing Letarte said. “You’re too far

body happy.”

They had tons of fun inside the Pocono media center.

Letarte acted hurt when his nameplate didn’t have the same three winner’s stickers that were on Earnhardt’s card. Earnhardt also brought a Make-A-Wish Foundation teen to the podium and made sure he’d have his own namecard and stickers.

“This is my buddy, Chris.

Does he get one,” Earnhardt said.

They all got their stickers – the same ones applied to the No. 88 Chevrolet.

Earnhardt also became the fifth straight Hendrick Motorsports driver to win at Pocono. Owner Rick Hendrick was not at the race, though he did talk to his winning driver on the phone on pit road.

“I told him thanks for believing in me and making my life better,” Earnhardt said.

Earnhardt’s sweep followed Kasey Kahne and Jimmie Johnson last year and Jeff Gordon in the August 2012 race.

CUBS 7, DODGERS 3

Coghlan’s HR leads Cubs to win

By JOE RESNICK The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – The Cubs haven’t had many highlights to savor this season. Winning a series against the NL West champion Los Angeles Dodgers has to be right up there.

Edwin Jackson pitched six innings for his first win in six weeks and Chris Coghlan hit a tiebreaking two-run homer, leading the Cubs to a 7-3 victory on Sunday.

The Dodgers dropped two of three to the team with the thirdworst record in the majors.

Los Angeles’ NL West lead was trimmed to 2 1/2 games over San Francisco, which won 9-0 at the New York Mets.

“For us to come in and take two out of three to win the series was great,” Jackson said. “We came in here against a tough team that had a six-game win streak. It’s a hostile environment, playing at Dodger Stadium, because the fans are really into the game.”

Especially after the Dodgers’ 12-inning, 5-2 win on Saturday night, which ended with Hanley Ramirez’s three-run homer against Blake Parker. Ramirez was 0 for 4 Sunday with a pair of double-play grounders and didn’t hit a ball out of the infield.

“After last night, you think that you’re going to have a little energy

Chicago Cubs’ Chris Coghlan (left) and Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman Justin Turner react to the safe call at first Sunday on a double play attempt in the seventh inning of the game in Los Angeles. Coghlan was out at second on the play. today. That’s the only disappointing part about today,” manager Don Mattingly said. “It didn’t feel like we had a ton of energy.”

Jackson (6-11) allowed two runs and seven hits, struck out six and walked none. The right-hander was 0-4 with a 7.39 ERA in his previous seven starts since beating Pittsburgh 6-3 on June 20 at Wrigley Field.

“I think it was more for the team than myself,” Jackson said.

“You try to look beyond personal goals and try to be a team player. Our bullpen has been getting taxed, and a lot of it has been due

to me not going deep into games.”

Matt Kemp trimmed Chicago’s lead to 3-2 in the sixth with his fifth homer in six games and No. 13 on the year. But Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo helped preserve the lead in the seventh, making a leaping grab of Carl Crawford’s line drive and turning it into an inning-ending double play by trapping Drew Butera off second.

The Dodgers got a run in the eighth off Pedro Strop, but Luis Valbuena responded in the ninth against Chris Perez with his 10th homer.

TWINS 16, SOX 3

Santana leads Twins to victory over Sox

By JOHN JACKSON The Associated Press CHICAGO – The Minnesota Twins just kept scoring, and rookie Danny Santana played a key role in their biggest offensive game of the year.

Santana had five hits and four RBIs, and the Twins set season highs for runs and hits in a rain-delayed 16-3 victory over the White Sox on Sunday.

“It was a lot of fun,” Santana said.

Santana had two hits and two RBIs in Minnesota’s nine-run eighth inning, when it sent 14 batters to the plate and had nine hits against three relievers. The five hits set a season high for the center fielder, who was one off his best for RBIs set June 7 against

Houston.

“He had a good day; with five hits, that’s kind of an understatement,” Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. “He’s a nice looking player. Playing center field, he’s a shortstop. He’s fun.”

It just got worse for Chicago in the ninth, when Chris Parmelee, Oswaldo Arcia and Eric Fryer hit consecutive homers off White Sox reliever Andre Rienzo. It was the first time the Twins had three consecutive homers since July 12, 2001, at Milwaukee.

Dayan Viciedo hit a two-run homer for Chicago, which was hurt by poor bullpen work. Javy Guerra (1-3), Taylor Thompson, Ronald Belisario, Eric Surkamp and Rienzo allowed a total of 15 runs and 18 hits over the final four innings.

Thompson was sent down to Triple-A Charlotte after the game.

“It seemed OK until the sixth, and after that it just got loose and you couldn’t stop it,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said.

Belisario, who served as Chicago’s closer for a short stretch this season, faced four batters in the eighth and failed to record an out.

He was charged with four runs, increasing his ERA to an unseemly 6.23.

“I don’t know what to say,” Belisario said. “They got us. I have nothing to say.”

Kyle Gibson (10-8) was the beneficiary of Minnesota’s big day at the plate. The 6-foot-6 right-hander allowed three runs and six hits in seven innings while improving to 3-1 with a 3.08 ERA in his last four starts.

Galloping to the aid of family in need Lockport equine facility to host fundraiser for Manhattan boy

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND

If you go

dunland@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – When Rainie Doolin learned that a 3-year-old Manhattan boy with Down syndrome also was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia – an aggressive leukemia – she knew she had to help.

Within days, Doolin – owner of Horseshoe Meadows in Lockport – had organized “A Ride for Bryce” fundraiser. Doolin will offer pony rides, a variety of family-friendly games and activities, and food and drinks for sale. Proceeds will benefit the family of Bryce Bartczak.

“I’m hoping to raise as much as we can for the family,” Doolin said. “I know how rough it is. When we were traveling to the hospital to see my mother, we were paying $20 a day for parking. We were packing lunches to make ends meet.”

Julia Bartczak of Manhattan, Bryce’s mother, said having Down syndrome is compounding Bryce’s leukemia. His initial treatments were less effective; his side effects – neuropathy, joint pain and mouth sores – are more severe.

Perhaps the worst part for Bryce, a very social boy, is that he no longer can attend school or church because his immune system is so compromised. Tutors and therapists do come to the home, but it’s not the same, Julia said. Ironically, Bryce loves horses, so Doolin’s fundraiser couldn’t be more appropriate.

“I live in an amazing community.

People have been so wonderful to us,” Julia said. “We are so blessed.”

A registered nurse for 25 years, Doolin works with cancer patients at the University of Chicago. She also lost her mother to leukemia a year and half ago, just three weeks after diagnosis. Moreover, Doolin began her equine facility with the proverbial helping hand in mind.

“I have a soft spot in my heart,” Doolin said. “I’m more of a community person with the horses.”

Unlike many enthusiasts who grow up with a fondness for horses, Doolin purchased her first horse eight years ago after one of her teenage sons beat his drug problem by living and working at a Utah ranch for three years.

“I wanted my son to have some-

Horse rides will be a feature of the “Ride for Bryce” fundraiser at the Lockport equine facility on Saturday and Sunday. thing he had up there, to keep him away from his old friends,” Doolin said.

Horse No.1 – Chianti, a Rocky Mountain pony – was foaled from a rescue horse and came into the world underweight and in bad condition, Doolin said. Within two months, Doolin saw a horse being abused and offered to buy it. That one is Kay, she said, a quarter horse.

Over time, Doolin added Cowboy, a malnourished draft paint with foot issues; Insanity, an owner surrender, also a draft paint; two minis – Banjo Blue and Dudley Do-Right; Spirit, a quarter horse that came off an auction

block; and Benny, a thoroughbred destined for a Mexico slaughterhouse, Doolin said.

After acquiring the third horse, Doolin enrolled in an equine program at South Suburban College in South Holland, she said. For several years, Doolin boarded her horses at a New Lenox barn on a rental basis. Three years ago, she took over the 16-stall barn, she said.

In May, Doolin moved her horses to a 38-stall barn in Lockport and expanded her programs.

This past summer, Doolin offered two weeklong summer camps to introduce children ages 5 to 19 about the

joys of horse ownership.

The kids cleaned stalls and bathed horses; took temperatures; learned when to call the veterinarian; and met with a farrier, who explained how horse feet grow and how to trim the hooves. They also had lessons in English and Western riding, drove the minis in a cart, and compiled scrapbooks of their activities.

But Doolin is also giving back in a way that echoes her son’s achievements at the Utah ranch.

For the past two years, a girl in her late teens – a friend of another son – has come to Horseshoe Meadows three days a week to care for one of the horses. In addition to providing its general care, the girl also pays for the horse’s medical care, Doolin said.

“She had come by one day, and I said, ‘Why don’t you do something with your life than hang out in the streets?’ ” Doolin said.

Doolin considers her offer a success.

“She’s not doing drugs anymore and is going to school,” Doolin added.

In addition to offering English and Western riding lessons and pony parties, Doolin works with Boy Scout and Girl Scout badge requirements and offers a horse leasing program for parents considering buying horses for their children.

By gaining the experience of horse ownership without the expense of purchasing a horse, Doolin said, parents and children can discern if the investment would be right for them.

Most recently, a group of disabled men from Trinity Services in New Lenox toured her facility.

“They came out to look at the horse,” Doolin said, “and we actually had a little lunch for them here.”

LOS ANGELES – The popular push for locally produced food has spawned flocks of backyard chickens in urban neighborhoods nationwide, but people may not realize that feasting on fresh eggs can mean subjecting their more typical household pets to pain from a new pest that hitches a ride on hens.

The poultry flea has been added to a list of parasites, venomous insects and other bothersome pests that take a bite out of dogs and cats every summer, veterinarians said.

These bloodsucking pests are different from the most common fleas in the U.S. because they embed their tiny bodies into an animal’s flesh. Poultry fleas aren’t known to transmit disease but can cause infection when they sink into skin.

“You see them on pets that are around environments with chickens, which are becoming more common now that so many people have backyard flocks,” said Dr. Julie Meadows at University of California, Davis, Veterinary Medical Teaching Hospital.

Other summertime pet enemies include: Traditional fleas: These bloodsuckers will spend their lifetime – a couple of weeks to nearly two years – feeding off your furry friends and making them itch. The insects also lay their young on the animal, unlike poultry fleas. They become a medical problem instead of a nuisance when a pooch is allergic to flea saliva.

Cats don’t have too much trouble with fleas unless they are allergic. If so, cats will develop tiny scabs all over their bodies, lose coat density and sometimes develop sores.

Ticks: Four or five species of ticks hop on dogs from bushes and long grasses. Ticks spread diseases, including Rocky Mountain spotted fever and Lyme disease, some of which can be life-threatening and some that can be passed to humans.

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

It is dangerous, but the only hope

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Nancy Mitford, an English novelist who was perhaps best known for her essay about U and non-U English (upper class and non-upper class), said, “Surely a king who loves pleasure is less dangerous than one who loves glory.”

At the bridge table, a king who takes a trick is more pleasurable than one who proves powerless.

Worse, though, is a king who does not take a trick when it should have done.

In this deal, East has to make the key plays. Defending against four hearts, how should East plan the defense after West leads the club queen?

South’s two-heart rebid guaranteed at least a six-card suit and promised 12-14 high-card points.

One of the keys of good defensive play is that if you lead a low card from length, you are promising at least one honor in that suit and expressing an interest in trying to win tricks in that suit.

And this applies right through the deal, not just at trick one.

Sometimes, though, your low card is not so low. Then you need to hope that partner is alive to the possibility.

East takes the first trick with his club ace; ducking cannot be right, because declarer might have a singleton king. Then, though, returning a club probably will not help. Dummy’s spades are threatening to provide declarer with discards. Instead, East should shift to the diamond eight. If partner does not have the ace, this play will at worst concede an unnecessary overtrick.

Here, though, West should win the trick and return the diamond two, lowest from three remaining cards. This gives the defenders the first four tricks for down one.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I am a happily married, 26-year-old female with just one problem: I’m afraid to have children.

I have always wanted children, and it’s something my husband and I often discuss. Anytime we are asked when we plan to start our family, we always say four to five years, but we have been saying this same thing for four years. I always thought I’d be ready by now.

My husband has been very sick for the past few years, and had to take time off work. We were able to scrape by on my salary, but it was tough. He returned to work recently, and is fine. But now all I can think about is how much children cost, and I’m afraid we’ll never have

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips enough money to have a baby.

I also worry about what if our child would be killed in an accident, molested or kidnapped. I ask myself why anyone would want to bring children into such a scary world, yet I still want them. Please help me. I am very upset and don’t know what to do. – Uncertain In

Tulsa Dear Uncertain: I understand your concerns, and they are valid. Having children is an act of faith as well as an investment in the future.

If you think about it, life

itself is a gamble. Mature individuals do everything they can to keep the odds in their favor. They work hard, live healthy lives, buy insurance, start an education fund for their children, etc. There are no guarantees – but people keep having children anyway.

Because you feel stuck in making this decision, it would be helpful to discuss your concerns with a licensed mental health professional who can help you put your fears to rest.

Dear Abby: I am a 30-yearold mother of a 5-year-old girl. I have been dating “Mack” for two years. Everything was great at first, but when I moved in with him things changed.

I don’t have a car right

Women on ‘drug holiday’ for bone loss should be tested Dear Dr. K: I currently am on a bisphosphonate “drug holiday.”

How will I know if, or when, I should go back on the drug?

Dear Reader: After menopause, loss of bone (osteoporosis) can lead to crippling bone fractures. Drugs called bisphosphonates slow bone loss. (I’ve put a table with detailed information about these drugs on my website, www.askdoctork. com.)

But bisphosphonates can have troubling side effects. The pills can cause burning in the esophagus.

And a small number of users have developed bone loss in the jaw and in the large bone in the upper legs (the femur), causing the femur to break. These side effects in the bone are rare, but need to be taken into consideration.

Doctors now offer a bisphosphonate “drug holiday” to some patients after three to five years of treatment. During the drug holiday, bisphosphonate that has accumulated in the bones during treatment slowly trickles out, like an extended-release medication.

This helps preserve bone strength and lowers the chance of fracture.

Doctors continue to monitor a woman’s bone density – a measure of bone strength – during the drug

ASK DR. K Dr. Anthony Komaroff holiday. If and when bone density starts to decline, doctors often recommend that she start back on her medication.

A recent study offers some guidance about when and how often bone density should be tested during a drug holiday. The study looked at postmenopausal women who had taken alendronate – one of the most commonly prescribed bisphosphonate medicines – for four or five years. These women were randomly assigned to take alendronate for five more years or to take an inactive placebo pill.

During the trial, about one in five women taking the placebo broke a bone. Their age and bone density when they started taking the placebo was enough to predict who was most likely to have fractures. Bone density testing after one year provided no additional useful information.

Based on this and other studies, I think it is reasonable for women on a drug holiday to have bone density testing when the drug

holiday starts and then again every two years. For women at a particularly high risk of fractures, I might get the repeat bone density tests every year. If the repeat test shows bone density is declining when a woman is off the medicine, I would generally recommend that she start back on treatment.

If side effects are a problem, taking bisphosphonates exactly as instructed should help: • Take the drug first thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, with a large glass of water.

• Remain upright for at least 30 minutes.

• During this time, avoid eating, drinking or taking another medication.

Many studies have shown that bisphosphonate drugs prevent or slow bone loss and reduce fractures caused by bone loss.

Therefore, it was a surprise that using these drugs for several years might sometimes cause bone problems. This is another example of why it is important to monitor the results of widespread use of a new medicine.

now. I work less than a mile away, so most of the time I walk and don’t mind.

The problem is, when Mack gets off work, he picks up his son and goes straight home. He doesn’t call or text me to ask where I am, or drive by to see where my child and I are walking.

When I arrive home, I’ll find his son watching TV and Mack doing something else.

I keep telling him I need respect. What would you do if you were in my shoes? Temperatures are in the mid-90s here in the summer, and it can get to you when you’re walking. –

Upset Mama In Texas Dear Upset: If you haven’t asked Mack to pick you up when he leaves work so you’re not stuck in the

blazing heat – with your child, yet – you should.

That he wouldn’t think of it himself shows not only a lack of consideration for your feelings but also for your little girl’s welfare.

Because his behavior has changed since you started living with him, consider this change to be a red flag. If things don’t improve, start looking for other living arrangements for you and your daughter because it appears you and Mack do better when you’re not cohabiting.

This work will include tree trimming, tree removal and brush control to clear vegetation away from ComEd electric wires running from pole to pole. This work is necessary because trees interfering with electric lines can cause service outages and safety hazards. Line clearance is not required on all properties in these areas.

No line clearance work will be performed on wires running from utility poles to homes or buildings. Maps of the affected areas are on file at local municipal or county offices. All trees requiring maintenance in each area will be addressed during these projects. Property owners may appeal the planned vegetation management activities through ComEd or the Illinois Commerce Commission. If you have questions regarding vegetation management activities, you may call 1-800-EDISON-1 and ask to speak with a Vegetation Management Representative or visit our website at https://www.comed.com/sites/customerservice/Pages/ TreesPowerlines.aspx. You may also request a written copy of the dispute resolution process. To contact a Consumer Affairs Officer of the Illinois Commerce Commission, call 1-800-524-0795. adno=0234071
