JOLIET – Bethany McKee told police she was holding her baby while she watched Terrence Rankins being killed.

Video of McKee’s interview with Joliet Detectives Stephen Diehl and Tim Powers was played in court Tuesday during the second day of her trial for the murder of Rankins and his friend Eric Glover in January 2013.

In the video, McKee also said the bodies of the two victims were beaten af- Bethany ter they were McKee dead by two other defendants, who used racial insults while hitting the corpses. Rankins and Glover were black; all defendants charged in the case are white.

McKee, 20, said she knew Rankins from Joliet West High School and he offered to sell her marijuana before “coming to party” with McKee and her friend, Alisa Massaro, at Massaro’s house in the 1100 block of North Hickory Street on Jan. 9, 2013.

McKee said Massaro’s on-

off boyfriend Joshua Miner proposed robbing Rankins unless he brought cigarettes to Massaro’s second-floor apartment.

“I thought they were kidding around ... I didn’t think it would happen,” McKee said during the interview.

Rankins arrived with his friend, Glover, whom none of the four had met before. Glover told McKee he thought her then 18-month-old daughter was cute and talked about his own 2-year-old daughter for a few minutes, she said in the interview.

After Adam Landerman offered McKee and Massaro a drink of soda, the women prepared to go downstairs with McKee’s daughter while Miner jumped Rankins. Landerman then began choking Glover from behind, she told police.

McKee went downstairs where Massaro’s father was sleeping on a couch. He allegedly questioned her but did not investigate the racket upstairs, which she described as thumping that lasted for a few minutes.

McKee took her daughter to a friend’s house and bought cigarettes and gas before the four suspects went to buy co-

caine, she told police. They allegedly returned to the apartment where the bodies had been left and proceeded to kick, punch and bludgeon them.

McKee said in the video that Miner and Landerman used racial epithets while beating on the bodies. McKee also said Miner may have been serious when he discussed cutting the face from one of the victims and wearing it as a mask, like in the horror movie “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”

On the video, McKee told detectives Miner proposed putting a mattress on top of the bodies so he and Landerman could have sex with Massaro there. McKee stated she passed out in the next room and did not witness any sexual contact among the other suspects, though Massaro told her the next day Miner choked her while unsuccessfully trying to have intercourse.

McKee said she ran errands the next morning before she and Massaro smoked marijuana and ate a frozen pizza before everyone returned. Police believe Landerman brought tools to dismember the bodies.

Officer Nicholas Amelio testified earlier Tuesday that

Joliet mayor, city council clash on sales tax reductions

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Council members clashed with Mayor Tom Giarrante on Tuesday about lowering the sales tax to promote business growth in the city.

Councilman Larry Hug said he advocates for a 0.5 percent reduction in the sales tax, which he estimated would bring $4 million back to residents instead of the city budget’s surplus line.

“It doesn’t hurt to put the surplus back into the residents’ pockets,” Hug said, advocating for a sunset to a tax increase three years ago. “Also, it’s time to take away the unfair playing field for our retailers.”

Councilman Bob O’Dekirk

agreed, adding that he has heard complaints from several businesses on the borders of the city.

“I think the theory would be lowering the retail tax would actually stimulate growth in Joliet,” he said. “I think we’ve done well as a council in pulling out of a financial tailspin that we were in three years ago. But I do think that trying to stimulate growth and encouraging growth is a positive thing.”

Giarrante said he has only heard a complaint from one business, and meetings with other businesses have yielded no discussions about the tax.”

“The sales tax has never come up, never. And they still come here,” he said.

Giarrante also said the council needs to look at other needs like increasing an overworked staff before it starts thinking about cutting the tax.

In regular business, the council approved the rezoning of land northwest of the corner of Collins and Cass streets from single-family and multifamily residential to B-3 business.

The zoning change was approved to pave the way for a new Checkers restaurant that is planned to be built in the empty land along Collins Street.

The council also approved bids for about $3 million in water main improvements and $128,450 for the removal of ash trees infected by the emerald ash borer beetle.

small garden shears, a utility knife, two hand knives, a pair of scissors, a hacksaw and a second blade were found near Rankins’ body, along with a handheld propane torch.

McKee spoke with her father to ask for help getting rid of the bodies, but William McKee notified police. Bethany McKee had picked up her daughter when she saw police surrounding the house and drove to Kankakee, where she was arrested.

On the video recording, McKee told Diehl and Powers she felt threatened into going along with the plan to rob her friend. “[If I tried to stop it] all three of us would’ve been dead.

I know how Josh is. I know I would’ve been dead,” she said.

Several of the victims’ family members left the courtroom when the evidence technician began to testify.

Those who remained sat in a courtroom that was silent for 12 minutes and 22 seconds as prosecutor John Connor showed Amelio and Judge Gerald Kinney a video recording Amelio had made at the crime scene. The screen was turned away from the courtroom audience.

Joliet police host 31st National Night Out event

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Police officers in Joliet showed the public Tuesday a powerful, crime-fighting tool that walks on all fours.

That tool was Bo, a Belgian Malinois dog capable of finding unlawful drugs, missing people or evasive criminals.

Joliet Police Chris D’Arcy, who joked that Bo was the “jaws of justice,” said the dog was strong enough to take down a criminal and hold them there while police officers head to the scene.

But the scene Bo was at Tuesday was the 31st National Night Out event hosted by the Joliet Police Department at Haunted Trails in Joliet.

The annual national event is meant to foster a positive relationship between the public and law enforcement agencies nationwide.

Instead of chasing down criminals or sniffing for drugs, Bo was playing with children.

“A lot of people are nervous around police dogs, myself included before I became a canine handler, but as you can see they’re really just dogs,” D’Arcy said.

National Night Out is an event that also is meant to heighten crime prevention awareness, strengthen community bonds and provide a little fun. Joliet police officers provided hot dog meals, held raffles and prize giveaways and brought out several police vehicles for families to see.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said an event like National Night Out helps police departments strengthen partnerships with the community.

“Sometimes we have barriers in law enforcement. When

Benton said Joliet police hold the event in different communities in the city every year so they can not only interact with the public more, but serve as a catalyst for people in the community to meet each other.

Ed Johnson, Joliet crime prevention officer who helped organized the event, said it allows people to see police of-

ficers in a friendlier light and allow those officers to build up networks that help them with their duties.

“The community is our eyes and ears. We cannot be everywhere,” he said.

Police departments in Plainfield, Braidwood, Minooka, Shorewood and Lockport also had National Night Out events Tuesday. Lockport Police Officer Kevin Brauch said the event can connect neighbors with each other and make them more protective of one another.

“Neighbors don’t really

know each other anymore and if they got to know more about each other maybe they can be that extra eye. A helpful person for them to make the community better,” he said.

Sherry Lee of Joliet came to the event with her family, including her daughter Precious, 9, who was able to get an identification card. Lee said she thinks the Joliet police were friendly and she was glad they took the time to open up to the community.

However, she said the police should focus more on doing these types of events on

the east side of the city.

“I think they need to be more friendlier out there and be known they are in the neighborhood and more visible,” she said.

Thelma Lawson of Joliet said she thought the National Night event was wonderful.

But she agreed with Lee and said there are many children who live near Hickory Street who the police should be connecting with more.

“To really reach the kids in the community, you have to be in the community,” she said.

Rep. Foster speaks at Stepping Stones Recovery facility awaits needed funding legislation

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Stepping Stones, a Joliet addiction recovery facility, regularly struggles with treating many of the addicts who come to there for help.

Because of inadequate funding, Stepping Stones staff said they are forced to refuse immediate admission for addiction treatment for people without private insurance or Medicaid coverage. And the number of people who reported using heroin has risen significantly in the past several years.

“We’re not able to serve all the people who need it because they really lack financial resources,” said Paul Lauridsen, Stepping Stones clinical director. “There’s so many people who don’t have insurance or other means of financials.”

Lauridsen said a bill co-sponsored by U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, could help.

Foster was at Stepping Stones Tuesday to discuss the Expanding Opportunities for Recovery Act. The proposed legislation would create grant

funding to increase access to in-patient rehabilitation services for heroin and opioid users. Grants to states would be used to provide those services to people with inadequate health insurance.

“These obstacles prevent opioid users from receiving the treatment that they need to enter recovery, and that’s why I’m introducing this legislation to increase access to rehabilitation services so we can set people on the road to recovery,” Foster said.

The funding would allow people to use those treatment services for up to 60 consecutive days.

According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, substance abuse costs the U.S. $600 billion annually, and those costs can be reduced with treatment, which is less expensive than incarceration.

Between 2007 and 2012, the number of people who reported using heroin in the U.S. rose roughly 79 percent, according to Stepping Stones.

Heroin users made up 25 percent of Stepping Stones’ clients last year. That compares

There were 30 heroin-related deaths in Will County in 2011 and 54 in 2012, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

Stepping Stones Executive Director Peter McLenighan said research has shown there is a link between people who use and misuse opiate prescription medications and heroin.

“What we find is someone who’s misused opiate medications is 19 times more likely to move on to heroin,” he said.

“They literally are finding it’s cheaper for them to move from an opiate prescription dependence up to heroin.”

At Tuesday’s announcement, Will County Executive Larry Walsh said efforts to educate people on the dangers of heroin in schools and com-

munity forums have helped reduce the amount of heroin overdoses in the county. In 2013, 35 fatal heroin overdose deaths were reported, about 33 percent decrease from the previous year.

“Without a doubt, Stepping Stones will benefit from this new legislation and help people continue their treatment plan and ensure their success,” Walsh said.

More than 90,000 tax assessment notices mailed in Will County

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – No one enjoys paying taxes.

A reminder, however, is showing up this week in mailboxes throughout Will County in the form of tax assessment notices.

“I don’t like to pay taxes.

No one wants to pay taxes. But whether they’re happy or not, we want people to have an understanding of why you’re doing something and what goes

on behind the scenes,” Will County Chief Assessment Officer Rhonda Novak said.

Just over 90,000 tax assessment notices were sent out Friday to property owners within Will County’s 24 townships whose assessments changed, Novak said. The assessed value of each property is a key factor used in determining property tax bills – revenue that taxing bodies such as school and library districts heavily rely on for funding.

But there’s a lot of confu-

sion on how tax assessments work, Novak said.

Assessors in Will County determine the value of properties by looking at sales from the previous three years, excluding foreclosures and short sales. For example, assessments sent out this year were based on sales from 2013, 2012 and 2011, she said. The current year’s sales do not have an effect on the market values and assessment. List prices of homes currently up for sale are not factored into

assessments.

State law requires assessors to use the three-year study, she said. Otherwise,

taxes would fluctuate dramatically from year to year.

“What people don’t realize is that the property assessment cycle is meant to be stable. It is not meant to dip up and down like an individual appraisal or a real estate deal, a house on the market,” Novak said. “It’s meant to provide stable revenue for taxing bodies.”

Most of the time, people assume that because their assessed value has gone up,

Will County mulls costs for CenterPoint-hired traffic cops

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – CenterPoint Properties should cover all costs associated with the developer’s decision to have two off-duty Will County sheriff’s deputies stationed at Walter Strawn Drive and Route 53 to direct traffic during peak hours, members of the Will County Board’s Finance Committee said Tuesday.

“We don’t want to subsidize this,” Will County Board Chairman Jim Moustis said of the county’s agreement with CenterPoint to have deputies direct traffic at the railroad crossing. Officers have been stationed at the crossing at CenterPoint’s expense since last week.

County Finance Director Karen Hennessy and officials from the sheriff’s office are taking a closer look into how

“We don’t want to subsidize this.”

Jim Moustis Will County Board chairman to best bill CenterPoint for the services. Tort, worker’s compensation and possible mileage reimbursements should be incorporated into the overall costs, board members said Tuesday.

Two officers are being positioned near the crossing between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Monday through Friday to help direct traffic during funeral processions at the nearby Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery.

The typical rate for off-duty assignments is $50 an hour, with deputies getting $35 an hour and the rest going toward pension costs and to pur-

chase vehicles. County board members suggested Tuesday to increase the rate to $55 an hour.

“If something happens, and we get sued, at least we’ll have some kind of tort,” Finance Committee Chairman Steve Wilhelmi said.

The presence of deputies is a new development that has been proposed as a solution to ongoing truck traffic issues at the crossing.

Heavy truck traffic near the Joliet and Elwood intermodals on CenterPoint Properties, coupled with the crossing’s close proximity to the national cemetery’s main access point off Route 53, caused problems for funeralgoers for years. Semitrailers crashed the gates at the crossing nearly 50 times in 2013.

The matter is to be brought Thursday to the Will County Board’s Executive Committee.

return for the lawsuit being dismissed.

“I said this thing could get very expensive. There was a pre-trial schedule that would have taken this thing into 2015,” Connelly said.

Even though CenterPoint, APL and Union Pacific declined to accept that proposal at the time, the village of Elwood rescinded the ordinance anyway, essentially making the lawsuit moot.

With the dismissal of the lawsuit, CenterPoint and Elwood now are turning their efforts to an Aug. 20 Illinois Commerce Commission hearing regarding safety at the railroad crossing.

CenterPoint and Union Pacific also are working with the Will County sheriff’s office to station two off-duty deputies at the railroad crossing to direct traffic during peak hours.

ELWOOD – CenterPoint Properties and Union Pacific have voluntarily agreed to dismiss a federal lawsuit they filed earlier this summer against the village of Elwood regarding a now-repealed traffic ordinance.

The controversial ordinance at the heart of the lawsuit had prohibited trucks from using Walter Strawn Drive. Despite an outcry from trucking companies and businesses within the intermodal, Elwood officials had argued the concrete barriers near the Walter Strawn Drive crossing were erected for public safety.

The lawsuit contended the ordinance violated federal law and that Elwood was illegally interfering with interstate commerce. In hopes of the

lawsuit being dismissed, the village board rescinded the ordinance in July.

CenterPoint, Union Pacific and the village of Elwood filed motions Friday to dismiss the lawsuit. Jacque Engle, CenterPoint spokeswoman, said in a news release that the dismissal was appropriate because the goal of the original lawsuit filed in June has been achieved.

The company was joined in the lawsuit by Union Pacific, which has an intermodal yard in the Joliet park, and APL Logistics, a truck distribution company in the CenterPoint complex. APL Logistics has not yet decided whether it will press on with the lawsuit, said Michael Connelly, attorney for Elwood.

He said he originally proposed last month that the village rescind the ordinance in

CHANNAHON – The village of Channahon has a new administrator.

T h o m a s Durkin, former Crete village administrator, began his post last week. He attended his first Thomas board meeting Durkin Monday. He has served in administrative positions in Tinley Park and in the private sector. He said

he is looking forward to a long tenure with Channahon.

“I think this community has a ton to offer,” he said.

“For me, personally, it was time for a change, and I really felt I could make some good contributions here.”

Durkin said one of his priorities will be economic development, both for new businesses and existing ones.

Former Village Administrator Joe Pena retired in May.

TIF plan approved Monday’s meeting saw trustees give final approvals

for the Route 6/Interstate 55 tax increment financing district.

“This puts us in a great position to see some economic development in that area,” Village President Joe Cook said after the meeting, “and it opens up opportunities for development of a lot of other properties, as well.”

Joseph Mueller Susan Mallory’s lawyer No charges have been filed in the case.

The plaintiff claims the stop sign was placed at the improper height, angle and distance from the road. She also alleges the sign was too small – in violation of the Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices – and it was placed on a wooden telephone pole which also displayed several advertisements above and below the traffic sign.

“There were advertising signs directly next to the stop sign – on the same pole. That should never happen,” Mallory’s lawyer Joseph Mueller said Tuesday.

“It was very difficult to see and we have reason to believe other drivers have missed it too,” Mueller continued.

Defendants named in

the case are Grundy County, Grundy County Highway Department, Saratoga Township, Grundy County Engineer Craig Cassem and Saratoga Road Commissioner Homer Ellis.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland, who is representing all county defendants, said his office would not comment about the pending litigation.

Also named in the lawsuit is John E. Johnson, the driver of the vehicle that struck Layne and Elder. Although Johnson did not run any stop sign, Muller claims Johnson did not heed a warning sign asking drivers to reduce speed at the intersection.

“We believe there is some negligence on the part of the other driver, that’s why he is also named as a defendant,” Mueller said.

As the special administrator for Elder’s estate, Mallory is asking for more than $50,000 in damages.

Mueller said there is a possibility Layne’s estate could be named in the case as well.

“I think he will probably be brought in as an additional defendant,” Mueller said.

MORRIS – Susan Mallory alleges a poorly placed stop sign contributed to a car accident that claimed her daughter’s life.

Mallory, of Morris, filed a lawsuit last week against local authorities in charge of placing and maintaining the traffic signage on Nelson Road in Grundy County, where the accident occurred last summer that killed her daughter, Lauren Mallory Elder, 28.

Mallory claims the sign’s low visibility is what caused driver Joshua Layne, 36, of Morris to run through the stop sign July 13, 2013, when he was traveling east on Nelson.

After Layne failed to stop at the sign, he continued through the intersection and another car driving north on Lisbon Road collided with Layne’s vehicle.

Mallory’s daughter, Elder, was a passenger in Layne’s vehicle and was killed during the collision. Layne died almost a year later as a result of injuries from the collision.

“It was very difficult to see and we have reason to believe other drivers have missed it too.”

Village staff was instructed to seek bids from private companies, and trustees approved Monday a contract to purchase 750 tons of rock salt from Central Salt for $98.50 a ton. Last year, the village paid $50 a ton for salt through the state.

The village already has 700 tons of salt in the storage dome at its public works facility. During last year’s icy winter, the village used 1,650 tons of salt on intersections and roads, which was an unusually large amount.

Witnesses appear forgetful about attempted murder

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The shooting of two men at a party in Bolingbrook last fall appears to have been forgotten by witnesses.

Prosecutors efforts to convict Dominique D. Travis, 21, of attempted murder, were stymied Tuesday when the

men who were arrested while Travis allegedly fled on Oct. 5, 2013, did not recall what they said to police that night. Martez J. Doss, 21, repeatedly told Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Steve Platek he did “not remember” and did “not recall” much about the party and his subsequent arrest.

Doss attended a party in

Zach Lammers’ death mourned as ‘tragic’ by former football coach THE HERALD NEWS HOMER GLEN – A coach Tuesday described the death of former Lockport Township High School football player Zachary Lammers as tragic.

At 2:55 a.m. Monday, Lammers, 27, was found unresponsive by Chicago police after falling from the 56th floor of the balcony of a building in the 200 block of North Columbus Drive in Chicago, authorities said.

The Cook County Medical Examiner ruled Tuesday that Lammers’ died from multiple injuries suffered in the fall and that his death was accidental.

“It’s so tragic,” said Jim Hall, a former assistant football coach at Lockport High School.

“He had so much to live for and so much to give.”

Lammers is a former resident of Homer Glen and was on Lockport high school football teams that won state titles in 2002 and 2003. He played receiver on the 2003 team. Lammers went on to Brown University.

Hall said he spoke with Lammers’ mother Tuesday morning.

Lammers had been back to visit with Lockport football players just last month, Hall said.

the 100 block of Malibu Drive where Travis allegedly shot a 20-year-old Bolingbrook man in the chest and a 21-year-old Bolingbrook man in the leg during a fight outside. Doss told Platek he did not remember Travis being at the party, carrying a handgun or throwing it out the window of the SUV Doss was driving.

Doss did acknowledge ramming a squad car to escape police pursuit and agreed the chase continued on Interstate 55 to Joliet, although he did not remember any specifics.

Travis was allegedly able to escape while Doss was arrested. Doss was convicted of aggravated battery and brought from the Department of Correc-

tions to testify Tuesday.

Other witnesses who testified Monday and Tuesday also were unable to recall identifying Travis as a suspect to police that night.

Travis also faces charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm for allegedly shooting a man Sept. 2 in the 200 block of North Broadway in Joliet.

Super Maid ordered to pay workers THE HERALD–NEWS ROMEOVILLE – A federal judge has ordered the owner of Romeoville-based Super Maid LLC to pay 55 workers nearly $185,000 in back wages and damages.

The company classified the workers as independent contractors when they should have been working as employees entitled to minimum wage, overtime and other protections of federal labor law, according to a news release from the U.S. Department or Labor.

Maids working for the company were required

to sign non-compete agreements that prevented them from cleaning homes other than those assigned by Super Maid, according to the Department of Labor.

Super Maid provided the maids with training, vehicles and cleaning equipment, the labor department said. The company also set work hours and “threatened workers with disciplinary actions and loss of pay for exceeding time limits for cleaning,” the news release

said.

U.S. District Judge John Tharp of the Northern District of Illinois ordered Paul Krawczyk, owner and operator of Super Maid, to pay $184,505 in back wages and liquidated damages.

According to the labor department, the investigation determined that the workers were due $92,252 in unpaid overtime and minimum wages. The court ordered an equal amount to be paid in liquidated damages.

If assessment seems incorrect one can appeal Continued from page 4 their taxes will automatically go up. That’s not always the case, Novak said. Local government spending plays a greater role in whether property taxes increase or decrease because entities set their own the tax rates, she said. If taxing districts increase spending, the tax rate often will be adjusted to cover expenses.

Novak said taxpayers also don’t often think about how

the money is spent.

“They’re paying for services. Just because the housing market fluctuates and maybe your property is worth less on the open market doesn’t change what it costs to educate a student, for the garbage man to come, for the roads to be taken care of and for the police and ambulance to come,” Novak said. “None of that changes. They still have to function and be able to afford to offer those services.”

Her office saw more appeals on properties this year than in 2012. An improved

City of

housing market, along with the expiration of a tax break for real estate developers, may be the cause.

Novak said the economy is starting to take a turn for the better, meaning an increase in sales and prices. Still, prices are well below that of the housing boom of 2004 and

2005, she said.

If owners think the assessed value of their property is incorrect, they can contact their township assessors or file an appeal with the county’s Board of Review. Property owners had until Sept. 8 to file their appeals. Notices were published in local newspapers Wednesday and Thursday.

They can also choose to appeal to the Illinois Property Tax Appeal Board. Forms are available via the Will County Supervisor of Assessment’s website at www.willcountysoa.com/.

Ed Sprinkle, football’s ‘meanest man,’ dies at 90 The ASSOCIATED PRESS PALOS HEIGHTS – Ed Sprinkle, a star defensive end for the Chicago Bears in the 1940s and ’50s who was called the “meanest man” in football, has died. He was 90.

Despite being only 200 pounds, Sprinkle was labeled the “meanest man” in football in a Collier’s magazine article in 1950. He was

nicknamed “The Claw” for using his forearm to deliver blows to opponents. He leveled plenty of quarterbacks, although it was hard to say how many because he played long before such statistics were kept.

“He said in one game he

knows he had five sacks,” Withers said.

Sprinkle served with the U.S. Navy. He went into the carpeting and tile business after football and also owned a bowling alley. He stayed active with the NFL, playing in charity golf outings.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

Experts: Lincoln’s handwriting found in box This undated photo provided by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield shows what historical experts say is Abraham Lincoln’s handwriting they’ve found inside a tattered book justifying racism that he may have read to better understand his opponents’ thinking on slavery.

“Types of Mankind” was published in 1854 and circulated for decades by the Vespasian Warner Public Library in Clinton. Director Joan Rhoades brought the 700page book to the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in May to determine whether an inscription inside was made by the former president who worked to free the country’s slaves through the Emancipation Proclamation.

Illinois opens insurance rate records to public

CHICAGO – State officials announced Tuesday that Illinois is giving the public online access for the first time to forms filed by insurers when they set the rates they’ll charge, a move that consumer advocates called a step in the right direction.

“We are pleased to provide consumers direct access to review rate and form filings,” said Department of Insurance Director Andrew Boron in a statement. Public access online “demonstrates our commitment to protecting consumers by providing assistance and information, which fosters a competitive insurance marketplace,” he said.

Consumer advocates welcomed the move but said the records are full of technical lingo and the site is difficult to navigate, making it difficult for most policyholders to understand. The website has filings from companies selling property, casualty, health and life insurance products.

Still, the shift is hopeful news for advocates who’ve been pushing Illinois lawmakers for stronger regulation of health insurance rates, said Stephani Becker of the Sargent Shriver National Center on Poverty Law in Chicago.

Currently, Illinois regulators don’t have the authority to deny rate increases that are excessive.

The change announced Tuesday means consumers will be able to search for rate filings using SERFF Filing Access, an online tool developed by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. SERFF stands for System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing.

Illinois Department of Insurance spokeswoman Kimberly Parker said consumers with questions will be able to call the department for assistance.

Man pleads not guilty to July 1 rest stop killing

DIXON – A Rockford man charged in the deaths of two people has pleaded not guilty to murdering one of them at a northern Illinois highway rest stop.

According to Sauk Valley Media, Terence P. Doddy pleaded not guilty Monday in Dixon to 12 counts of first-degree murder and other charges in the July 1 strangling of Tonya Bargman on Monticello. She was killed as she left a bathroom at the Willow Creek rest stop on Interstate 39 near Paw Paw. Doddy previously pleaded not

guilty to murder charges in the June 30 killing of co-worker and former friend Todd Hansmeier of Rockford.

Doddy, who is 36, was arrested July 4 after a police chase near Beloit, Wisconsin. He is being held in Winnebago County Jail without bond.

USDA: Illinois corn, soybean crops excelling

SPRINGFIELD – The U.S. Department of Agriculture says Illinois’ corn and soybean crops are faring well.

The USDA says in its weekly crop-status update that 81

percent of the state’s corn is rated as either good or excellent.

Ninety-four percent of the crop is silking, mirroring the average over the previous five years.

About 77 percent of Illinois’ soybean crop is considered good or excellent. Seventy-nine percent of the soybeans in the field are now blooming, 5 percent points below the five-year average.

The USDA says that’s all despite the fact that rainfall statewide last week was a half inch below normal.

The department says 65 percent of Illinois pastures were considered good or excellent.

GOP’s Rauner in Montana for vacation, fundraiser

CHICAGO – Republican Bruce Rauner has traveled to his family’s ranch in Montana to vacation and raise money for his Illinois governor campaign.

The fundraiser is scheduled for Tuesday at Rauner’s 6,000-square-foot home near Yellowstone National Park. Tickets range from $500 to $5,000 per person.

Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn’s campaign criticized Rauner for taking the trip. They say the multimillionaire venture capitalist is trying to avoid questions about investments he put in the Cayman Islands, a territory considered a tax haven.

Rauner discussed the issue Sunday. He told reporters the business practice didn’t impact his personal tax rate and that he disclosed the necessary information to the U.S. government.

Campaign spokesman Mike Schrimpf said the Rauner family typically vacations in Montana in August.

Amtrak expands project that allows pets on trains

CHICAGO – Amtrak is making it easier for people to take their dogs and cats around Illinois.

Amtrak and the Illinois Department of Transportation have announced they are adding the Chicago-Champaign-Carbondale route of the Illini and Saluki trains to a pilot project that allows people to bring pets with them.

Small pets have been allowed on the Illinois Zephyr and Carl Sandburg trains between Chicago and Quincy since April. The project was set to run through November but instead it will continue until late April of next year.

Those wishing to take pets must make advanced reservations and pay a $25 surcharge.

Only animals weighing 20 pounds or less will be allowed to board and they must be in carriers.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Former NSA chief defends to bleed from the eyes and mouths before a grisly death, has cybersecurity venture WASHINGTON – Even in an era when former officials routinely profit from business ventures linked to their public service, recently retired National Security Agency chief Keith Alexander raised eyebrows when he disclosed he is working on patents for what he calls a game-changing cybersecurity model.

Alexander had access to the nation’s deepest secrets about cyberwarfare, and he spent the last several years warning about cyberthreats to private industry.

Critics questioned whether he was cashing in on classified information he learned at NSA, and they asked why he didn’t deploy his new ideas while he led the government’s cyber defenses.

The retired four-star general, who departed in March after nine years as NSA director, said there is nothing improper about working in his field of expertise.

He also led the military’s cyber command.

Nigeria concedes to slow response in Ebola case LAGOS, Nigeria – Nigerian health authorities acknowledged Tuesday that they did not immediately quarantine a sick airline passenger who later died of Ebola, announcing that eight health workers who had primary contact with him were now in isolation with symptoms of the disease.

Ebola, which can cause victims

killed nearly 900 people across four countries in West Africa, a deeply impoverished region with severely limited medical resources.

The outbreak, which emerged in March, spread to Nigeria in late July when Patrick Sawyer, a 40-year-old American of Liberian descent, flew from Liberia’s capital to the megacity of Lagos.

The announcement that Sawyer was not immediately quarantined underscores concerns that West Africa is ill-equipped to contain such a disease.

Israel-Hamas truce sets stage for talks on Gaza GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip – Israel said it withdrew the last of its ground forces from Gaza on Tuesday as it and Hamas began a temporary cease-fire. The calm sets the stage for talks in Egypt on a broader deal for a long-term truce and the rebuilding of the battered, blockaded coastal territory.

Both sides halted cross-border attacks as the three-day truce took effect at 8 a.m. The shelling stopped and in Gaza City, where streets had been deserted during the war, traffic picked up and shops started opening.

If the calm holds, it would be the longest lull in almost a month of fighting that has killed nearly 1,900 Palestinians and 67 Israelis.

Afghan soldier kills U.S. general, wounds about 15

By ROBERT BURNS and RAHIM FAIEZ The Associated Press KABUL, Afghanistan – An American major general was killed Tuesday in one of the bloodiest insider attacks of the long Afghanistan war when a gunman dressed as an Afghan soldier turned on allied troops, wounding about 15 U.S. and coalition forces, including a German general and two Afghan generals.

The U.S. two-star general was the highest-ranked American officer killed in combat in either of the nation’s post-9/11 wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

His name was not immediately released.

The attack at Marshal Fahim National Defense University underscored the tensions that persist as the U.S. combat role winds down – and it wasn’t the only assault by an Afghan ally on coalition forces on Tuesday. In eastern Paktia province, an Afghan police guard exchanged fire with NATO troops near the governor’s office, provincial police said. The guard was killed in the gunfight.

It wasn’t clear if the two

incidents were linked, and police said they were investigating.

The circumstances of the lethal attack at the defense university were murky. The wounded included a German brigadier general and two Afghan generals, officials said.

A U.S. official said that of the estimated 15 wounded, about half were Americans, several of them in serious condition.

U.S. officials still asserted confidence in their partnership with the Afghan military, which appears to be holding its own against the Taliban but will soon be operating independently once most U.S.led coalition forces leave at the end of the year.

The Iraq and Afghanistan wars have taken more than 6,700 U.S. lives.

Insider attacks rose sharply in 2012, with more than 60 coalition troops – mostly Americans – killed in 40-plus attacks that threatened to shatter all trust between Afghan and allied forces. U.S. commanders imposed a series of precautionary tactics, and the number of such attacks declined sharply last year.

The White House said

President Barack Obama was briefed on the shooting.

Obama and Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel both spoke with Gen. Joseph Dunford, the top U.S. general in Kabul, who said a joint U.S.-Afghan investigation was underway and who assured his bosses he still had confidence in the Afghan military.

The Pentagon’s press secretary, Navy Rear Adm. John Kirby, announced that the U.S. general officer was killed in the attack but he refused to be specific about his rank, citing concern that his family had not yet been fully and officially notified. Another U.S. official said the officer was a major general. There are only a few U.S. generals in Afghanistan.

Kirby said the general and other officials were on a routine visit to the military university on a base west of Kabul.

Gen. Mohammad Zahir Azimi, a spokesman for Afghanistan’s Defense Ministry, said a “terrorist in an army uniform” opened fire on both local and international troops.

Azimi and U.S. officials said the shooter was killed.

HAVANA – News that the U.S. government quietly contracted young Latin Americans to travel to Cuba for political purposes under the guise of health and civic programs was the talk of the town in Havana and the Cuban diaspora Monday, eliciting both criticism and praise for the secret program.

In Cuba, some who heard about it from state TV called it objectionable, if not necessarily surprising.

“I don’t know what to tell you. It’s one of so many imperialist aggressions, so many years that they have been trying to bring down the revolution,” said Elio Morales, a 19-year-old refinery worker.

“They’ve been trying all kinds of things for 50 years to bring down the revolution, and it hasn’t fallen.”

Other Cubans backed efforts by the U.S. Agency for International Development and its contractors to support civil society on the island.

“Good for USAID!” dissi-

dent writer and photographer Orlando Luis Pardo said via Twitter. “The world must foster the rights of the Cuban people, abolished by the Castro regime and their allies.”

An Associated Press investigation published Monday revealed that under the Obama administration program, nearly a dozen travelers were sent undercover to Cuba to try to identify and ultimately groom a new generation of political activists.

According to one document obtained by the AP, a goal was to put “pressure” on the government. In one case, a group of visitors organized an HIV-prevention workshop described as a ruse to conceal the political nature of their work, potentially undermining USAID’s credibility in critical health work around the world.

The head of an international nongovernmental organization in Cuba expressed concern that the revelations could jeopardize the work of groups that have spent years building trust with the Cuban government and local partners.

OPINION

OUR VIEW

Public’s aid can help halt elder abuse Reports of abuse and neglect of the elderly have become more common, and the trend seems only likely to continue as members of the baby boom generation enter their golden years.

Statewide, elder abuse has risen steadily since 2007.

Recent national studies of the elderly population have shown that about 7 percent to 10 percent reported experiencing some kind of abuse in the previous year, according to the National Center on Elder Abuse.

There are many forms of elder abuse, and it can be inflicted unintentionally as well as willfully.

Abuse of elderly people can be physical or emotional. It can include financial exploitation, confinement of an elderly person or passive neglect of an older person’s needs by an inexperienced caregiver.

Victims of elder abuse are often women with an average age of 79, according to the Illinois Department on Aging website. That means the victim is probably a mother, and her abuser is likely an adult child, grandchild or other family member.

No matter how the abuse occurs, though, it must be stopped.

Experts said there are telltale signs of elder abuse, including changes in personality, missing regular appointments or changing schedule routines.

Victims of physical abuse might have welts and bruises, and those suffering financial exploitation might be receiving calls from bill collectors or simply having a lower standard of living.

Illinois operates a 24-hour hotline for people to report suspected abuse, neglect or financial exploitation of an older person at 866-800-1409.

Under Illinois’ Adult Protective Services Act, people who report suspected abuse in good faith and cooperate with authorities are immune from criminal or civil liability.

As the population continues to age, elder abuse will become more common, and increased public vigilance as well as training for people who work with the elderly will be needed to protect the nation’s elderly from those who would do them harm – willfully or otherwise.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

State fair finances burden Illinois SPRINGFIELD – Twenty years ago, the state implemented reforms designed to make the Illinois State Fair break even.

They failed. Big time.

The fair has been as sure-fired a loser as a kid playing a carnival game.

Well, maybe that’s not fair – every once and awhile, a youngster actually wins.

Not so with the fair. It’s a carnie’s dream: a loser that won’t quit.

It and its southern cousin, the DuQuoin State Fair, haven’t broken even once in the past two decades.

State Fair Manager Amy Bliefnick told me she doesn’t know if it’s possible for the fair to operate in the black.

Leave it to a government bureaucrat to think losing money is always an option.

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder During the past 20 years, the state fairs have lost $71.2 million.

And Illinois taxpayers have paid those deficits.

That’s money the state could have used to pay for something really important.

Instead, it has been spent on a couple of festivals.

Don’t get me wrong. I love the fairs. As a teenager, I showed cattle and hogs.

As a parent, I’ve carried each of my three daughters on my shoulders through every nook and cranny of the State Fairgrounds.

Just last week, my 83-yearold father was regaling me with stories of how he and his best

friend from high school showed Duroc hogs at the State Fair back in 1950.

He told me the fair’s hog barn looks just the same as 64 years ago. And, folks, it smells just the same, too.

But what really stinks are these deficits.

Hosting fairs and festivals is not a core government function.

The money would be much better spent educating our kids, keeping our roads safe, incarcerating the worst in our society or lowering taxes.

Instead we are spending it to bring Tilt-A-Whirls and deepfried Snickers bars to Springfield.

Sorry – fairs are nice but not something in which government should be involved.

on carbon. These regulations have driven down emissions in the region by 26 percent since 1990.

The U.S. State Department’s final environmental impact statement found that building Keystone XL would result in fewer greenhouse gas emissions than transporting oil by train or barge, which is currently happening across the U.S. The report also found Keystone would support more than 42,000 jobs and contribute billions of dollars to local and state economies – money to build roads, schools and hospitals.

TransCanada provides millions of people and businesses with the energy they rely on every day to heat their homes, cook their food and enjoy a healthy standard of living. Without oil, our economy would grind to a halt. Is that what Mr. Torrence truly wants?

OPINION | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

TRANSCANADA SAFELY SHIPS OIL SANDS VITAL FOR ENERGY To the Editor: Mr. Torrence’s hyperbole-laden letter that appeared in July 2 edition of The Herald-News describing Keystone XL and oil sands misrepresents not only the facts about oil sands but TransCanada as a company.

TransCanada has safely shipped oil and gas across North America for more than half a century. We are leaders in responsible and efficient energy infrastructure; from pipelines, to natural gas-fired power plants, to our multibillion-dollar renewable energy portfolio.

Oil sands are no different from any other heavy oil resource available today. Mother Nature just happened to produce the oil in sand and clay rather than in a traditional oil reservoir.

The oil sands are produced in Alberta, Canada, which has some of the most stringent environmental regulations in North America, including a price

That money gets spent on improving the Dallas city park where the fair is held.

So state fairs can break even. They can even turn a

profit.

At a time when Illinois state government has the worst credit rating in the nation and is paying its bills months late, it’s time to take a serious look at making the fairs self-sufficient.

JOLIET – Kyle Cunningham has been going to physical therapy for a while now, mending a hamstring injury.

However, he will be ready to go this weekend when the Joliet Dirtbags compete in the National Amateur Baseball Federation Major Division regional tournament at Kankakee Community College.

Cunningham’s fate represents what has happened to the Dirtbags this summer. But the fact he is healthy for the regional also is indicative of why Joliet is among three teams given a chance to win the title and advance to the NABF World Series in Battle Creek, Michigan. The others are Beecher and Michigan City.

“Right here is where it happened,” Cunningham said of suffering the injury during a Dirtbags home game at Gillespie Field on the Joliet Catholic campus. “It was the end of Game 1 of a doubleheader three weeks ago.

“I never had a hamstring injury.

I was able to do the fun things for a while, like hitting and throwing, like running was an issue. But that’s OK now.”

Cunningham (Joliet Catholic) will be a senior at St. Francis next spring. He is hitting .375 as the Dirtbags’ regular third baseman but has pitched only seven innings. He knows he may be called on to throw in the regional, which is a six-team, double-elimination event that runs Thursday through Sunday. Pitching depth may be decisive.

That’s the other factor that has played into Joliet’s 12-13 regular season in the Chicago Suburban Baseball League. Ace pitcher Scott Vachon (Plainfield North, Saint Xavier) signed with the Traverse City Beach Bums of the Frontier League after throwing 191⁄3 scoreless innings for the Dirtbags.

Nick Davito (Lockport, Lewis) also was pitching very well before being picked up by a team in the Northwoods League.

Left-hander Rick Faron did not pitch for St. Francis in the spring, but he has had four appearances on the mound with the Dirtbags and is figuring to pitch at the regional.

“This spring at St. Francis, they had me focus on swinging it, and it went real well,” he said. “I’ve been hitting it pretty well with these guys, too.

“Last summer, I just pitched with this team, but I probably will be hitting and pitching this weekend.”

“We actually are picking two guys from Westmont who hopefully will

“We lose Scott Vachon to the Frontier League, Nick Davito to the Northwoods League, then Cunningham, Kyle Davidson, Jake Herron [Joliet West] and another pitcher to injuries. It’s been tough,” he said.

“Right now, Ryan Quigley [JCA, Slammers] and C.J. Emlund are probably our hottest pitchers.”

Yet Columbus – a St. Ray’s assistant Cody Columbus (JCA, USF) said. “We got off to a good start this season. We coach and a mainstay on last year’s had so much depth then. It’s different Dirtbags team that won the regional and played in the World Series – said now.”

Dirtbags manager Kevin Campbell, the 12-13 record “does not define who who triples as a JCA assistant and the we are. We’ll have everyone with us at head coach for the St. Raymond Grade the regional, and we’re willing to win.

We want to win.

“We’ll be taking a lot of guys to Kankakee who are really focused on this regional.”

Columbus, who will be a senior next spring, did not see extensive playing time last spring at USF but is invaluable at the top of the Dirtbags’ lineup.

“Cody’s tough when he’s getting on,” Campbell said.

In his third season with the Dirtbags, Campbell joked about how he already is looking forward to the end of St. Ray’s fall season, when he finally can stash the baseballs and bats and get out the fishing pole.

Right now, however, it’s all about winning this NABF regional and getting to Battle Creek.

“My goal when I took the job was to get to the World Series in three years,” Campbell said. “We made it in two.

Now we want to get back there.”

NIU’s Stingily on best-back watch list VIEWS Dick Goss Of this and that: n Last week, we mentioned Illinois junior Josh Ferguson (Joliet Catholic) earning a spot on the Doak Walker Watch List for the award that goes to the top running back in the nation in Division I football.

But there is another former area standout also on the list. That’s Cameron Stingily (Romeoville), who enjoyed a breakout season last fall at Northern Illinois.

Stingily, a senior whose brother Byron is an offensive tackle for the Tennessee Titans, rushed for 1,119 yards on 203 carries and averaged 5.5 a carry in 2013. He also caught seven passes. He was named MAC West Offensive Player of the Week after rushing for a career-high 266 yards on 37 carries and scoring two touchdowns against Kent State.

The other Mid-American Conference running backs of the total of 53 on the Doak Walker Watch List are Jahwan Edwards of Ball State and Bronson Hill of Eastern Michigan. n On Sept. 18, 2011, at the age of 20, former Joliet Catholic standout athlete Andrew Giaudrone suffered a heart attack and died while playing a game of pickup basketball at St. Raymond Grade School.

Since his death, the JCA Class of 2010 has held two annual fundraisers to assist incoming freshmen at JCA. The Class of 2010, along with Giaudrone’s youth team at St. Joe’s Park, has scheduled a father/son charity softball game to raise funds for the Remembering “G” scholarship fund.

To date, the effort has provided more than $82,000 to make dreams come true of attending JCA. The softball game will be played at 7 p.m. Aug. 15 at the Inwood Complex, Field 3.

Anyone who attends the game, and even those who don’t, are invited to Tradition’s Restaurant for the post-game dinner. The cost is $20 and includes pizza, pop and appetizers.

Call Doug Giaudrone, Andrew’s father, at 815-355-1408 or email dgiaudrone@hotmail.com for information on how you can support Remembering “G” if you are unable to attend the Aug. 15 activities. n Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) pitched two-thirds of an inning Saturday night in his Major League debut for Houston as the Astros beat visiting Toronto, 8-2.

GENEVA – Alex Broadhurst centered his older brother, Terry, on the Rockford IceHogs’ No. 2 line last season.

Two Providence graduates, playing for their boyhood Blackhawks’ American Hockey League affiliate. Was this bliss beyond the boards or what?

Sharing shifts again at Fox Valley Ice Arena last week, the Broadhursts still brooded slightly, which is more than usual. The Blackhawks did not renew Terry Broadhurst’s contract in the offseason, prompting him to sign with the rival St. Louis Blues organization.

That’s hockey, Terry Broadhurst reasoned. Even so, it’s the game he grew up playing without a most familiar face as he lines up at left wing.

“Yeah, it kind of bums us both out,” Alex Broadhurst said. “I mean, it was cool. Last year was the first year we got to play together, so it was a lot of fun. Obviously, it kind of [stinks] not being able to play with your brother again, but, I mean, it’ll be fun. We play against them a lot.”

“Them” refers to the Chicago Wolves, the Blues’ AHL affiliate, which first visits Rockford in a preseason game at 7 p.m. Oct. 2. The Broadhursts look forward to that meeting and many others, although they’re careful not to get ahead of themselves.

They can’t be the Hulls or Sutters – iconic hockey families with ties to both the Blackhawks and Blues – without reaching the NHL first. As is stands, they’re still one rung away.

In his AHL debut last season, Alex Broadhurst, 21, led all Rockford rookies with 16 goals, 29 assists and 45 points in 75 games. Terry Broadhurst, 25 and a left-handed shot like his brother, wasn’t far behind, contributing 16 goals and 28 assists in 73 games.

Brothers Terry (left) and Alex Broadhurst, who were part of a Cyclones Youth Hockey Association camp in Geneva last week, played together in the Blackhawks organization last season. Terry signed with the St. Louis Blues when the Blackhawks did not renew his contract. at Fox Valley Ice Arena kept the Broadhursts humble in their professional pursuits.

Ditto for the handful of other prospects on hand, including Finnish center Teuvo Teravainen, the Blackhawks’ firstround draft pick in 2012.

“Oh, absolutely,” Terry Broadhurst said. “I think that that little guy’s still in all of us, right? You see these guys out here having fun, scoring goals, doing the celebrations. It’s no different in the pro games that we score and do the celebration. So it’s cool to see the passion. I think that’s the biggest comparison. These kids out here have a lot of it, so it’s nice to be around.”

Of course, observation is a two-way street.

“I think it’s good for kids to see guys like us who aren’t

quite there yet, but we’re still trying to fight for it, for the NHL,” Alex Broadhurst said.

“It’s good for these kids to see us and how we act and how we do things around the rink and stuff.”

Cyclones program director Pete Rutili had ties to the professional players through his involvement with Acme World Sports. The Broadhursts are set to return to Fox Valley on Aug. 15 through Aug. 17 as part of a skills clinic.

Over the weekend, they co-hosted a golf fundraiser at Woodbine in Homer Glen, with the proceeds benefiting local charities as well as kids without the financial means to buy hockey equipment.

“Just good, local boys that are chasing it down and giving back,” Rutili said.

With the move to the Blues organization, Terry Broadhurst actually will play home games closer to his south suburban base than he would as a Blackhawks prospect.

Now, though, his destination arena is St. Louis’ Scottrade Center, not the Blackhawks’ United Center. Strange but true. And still motivating.

“Now, you know, it’s seeing the business aspect of it and understanding wherever you’re playing at, that’s the team you’re playing for and you have to play hard for them, whether it’s your hometown team or not,” Terry Broadhurst said. “I think it’s a good opportunity. I’m excited to be a part of it.”

BEARS AT BOURBONNAIS

| SPORTS

Bennett’s indefinite suspension puzzling

* The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Wednesday, August 6, 2014

26

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush BOURBONNAIS – Bears general manager Phil Emery gathered all of the media at practice Tuesday morning 20 minutes into practice.

That never happens.

“Last night, we made a decision to fine and suspend Martellus Bennett for an undetermined length of time,” Emery said.

“This is a process that we’re working with Martellus on. We are in contact with him, and our goal is to have Martellus back as soon as possible. He’s a very loved and respected teammate, and we want him back, but it’s a process we have to work through.”

When asked what led to the suspension, Emery said, “He was suspended for conduct detrimental to the team, and there won’t be any further information available than that.”

Normally, responsible members of the media avoid speculation at all costs, but in this case the Bears have left us no choice but to par-

ticipate in educated analysis, at the very least.

In the 37 years I’ve been covering the NFL, I cannot remember a player being fined and suspended for a training camp fight.

There has to be more here than meets the eye.

Bennett’s backup, Dante Rosario, seemed surprised.

“In my first five years I was in training camp with (Panthers) coach (John) Fox, and there was fights all the time and it was never like guys getting kicked off the practice field,” Rosario said.

“I think that it’s just [coach Marc] Trestman’s style – he wants everyone to feel like they can come out here and be safe, and he just didn’t deem that that was a safe environment for them to be fighting like that.”

But that’s getting kicked out of practice, which Bennett wasn’t. Fined and suspended, for a training camp fight? Never.

“We’ve got a plan and a process in place,” Trestman said. “And, as I told the team (Tuesday), we love him.

He works hard. He loves football. He’s a good father, and we want to get him back as soon as we can. And we’ll

When pushed on a timeline, Trestman repeated that “It’s a process. That’s a great question. I can’t answer that, other than to say it’s going to be one day at a time.”

Punishing a young man for a fight is a simple and finite decision. It can only become an indefinite process if the lines of communication are broken.

Bennett was asked after the fight Monday what if the

Bears fined him, and his response was, “I can afford it. I don’t see what he can fine me for on that.”

Could it be any more obvious that management expressed its displeasure with Bennett and he failed to understand or accept the reprimand?

I have had the benefit and the pleasure of working with Bennett on a few radio shows and several other events away from the team. He is warm, engaging, extremely bright and a good guy. I like

him, a lot.

But he does appear to have a short attention span at times, occasionally loses focus and ends up talking about a handful of subjects all at once and can go out of his way to make sure the spotlight is focused squarely on him.

More than once, the “huge kid” they call Marty has been known to engage a full squadron of media with various antics he seems to improvise as the occasion dictates, while teammates and coaches walk by with curious glances or wry smiles that seem to say, “I guess that’s just Marty.”

I cannot pretend to know what’s going on in Bennett’s head right now, nor can I say what Trestman and Emery are thinking.

I do absolutely believe they need and want him back as soon as possible.

But it’s pretty obvious they want back a different version of the man than they’ve had so far.

BEARS NOTES

Bears looking to shore up wide receiver spot

By KEVIN FISHBAIN kfishbain@shawmedia.com BOURBONNAIS – With Brandon Marshall taking the day off and Marquess Wilson having surgery Tuesday morning on his fractured clavicle, the Bears’ search for a No. 3 receiver is in full force, and almost every receiver on the roster took at least one rep with the first team during Tuesday’s practice.

“We want to see guys who can make plays and take care of the ball, protect the ball, know what to do and how to do it at the right time – just like we ask of each and every

player at their position, and we’ll see what happens,” coach Marc Trestman said.

Alshon Jeffery did his thing and put on a show, catching almost everything thrown his way during team drills. But it’s Eric Weems, Chris Williams, Josh Morgan, Josh Bellamy, Micheal Spurlock, Armanti Edwards and Dale Moss who are under the microscope. And Trestman said that we might “see resolution in the next 48 hours” at the position, which could mean someone else is signed.

The receiver on the roster with the most knowledge of and experience with the

offense is Weems, who took a pay cut in the offseason to stick with the roster and has had a “great camp,” quarterback Jay Cutler said.

“Just by playing with speed, quickness, getting open, so the quarterback doesn’t have to get in a situation where he has to throw it up, a jump ball, like he does with the big guy,” the 5-foot-9 Weems said he could make up for a lack of size.

If Trestman wants to lean on overall experience and production, one would think Morgan would have the edge, with his 199 career catches.

Morgan wants to be known as an all-around receiver who

can catch as well as block for his teammates.

“If you need me to make the big play or make the tough catch, or the catch in traffic, or the catch across the middle, I think if you watch film of me over the years, I’ve done all of that,” he said.

Even if the Bears do bring a player in, one of these reserves still will be asked to take on a bigger role going forward.

Backup quarterback Jordan Palmer knows the reserve receivers well from throwing to them in practice, and he has confidence in the group competing to replace Wilson.

“I think that we’ve got a

number of guys who can fill in.

The No. 1 thing you’ve got to be able to do in this offense is know what you’re doing: line up in the right spot, run the right route, the right depth, the right angle,” Palmer said. “… I think, if there was ever a group to fill in for an injury like that, this is the group.”

Injury update: Tim Jennings (quad), Eben Britton (hamstring), Chris Conte (shoulder) and Craig Steltz (groin) all remained out. Isaiah Frey left practice with a right hamstring injury that he said felt like a pull. Jordan Mills did not finish practice because of a sore foot.

Chirinos leads Rangers’ rout THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Robinson Chirinos homered twice and Colby Lewis pitched a six-hitter to lead Texas to a 16-0 rout of the Chicago White Sox, the largest shutout victory in Rangers’ history.

J.P. Arencibia, Adrian Beltre and Shin-Soo Choo also went deep for the Rangers, who set a season-high in runs scored and snapped a four-game losing streak. Texas’ last five-homer game came last August at U.S. Cellular Field.

White Sox pitcher John Danks (9-7) was rocked for nine runs on five walks and eight hits, including four home runs, in 4 2-3 innings. The left-hander leads the American Leagie with 23 homers allowed.

White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn pitched the ninth inning, allowing one run on two hits and a walk.

White Sox designated hitter Adam Dunn came in and pitched the ninth inning Tuesday against the Texas Rangers during a baseball game in Chicago. The Rangers won the game 16-0.

Lewis (8-8) recorded his second career shutout, both against the White Sox in Chicago. He walked one and struck out seven.

After Chirinos slammed a solo homer in the second inning, Danks walked the bases loaded. Arencibia cleared them on a two-out double, the first of

his three hits in the game.

Three innings later, Arencibia and Chirinos went deep with the bases empty to stake the Rangers to a 9-0 lead. The multi-homer game was the first for Chirinos in his career.

Choo concluded the home run derby with an opposite-field homer off Maikel Cleto in the sixth inning.

The Rangers needed only five pitches to strike first. Choo led off the game with a double and scored on Alex Rios’ base hit. Beltre followed with a two-run blast into the left-field bleachers.

White Sox: Outfielder Alejandro De Aza was a late scratch after he complained of soreness in his bruised left knee in the pre-game warm-up. His status is day-to-day. He sustained the injury when he hit a foul ball off the knee on Monday night.

Moises Sierra took his place in the outfield.

WHAT TO WATCH

US men’s basketball team chooses 16 roster finalists

Pro baseball Cubs at Colorado, 7:40 p.m., CSN

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press Paul George’s broken right leg has already created questions about the future of NBA players in international competitions.

The U.S. national team can’t worry about that now.

The Americans’ immediate concerns are his health, and what they have to do to win without him.

The Americans have 16 players left in their roster pool after cutting three Tuesday — and 25 days to determine which of them can fill the role that George would have handled.

“He’s a guy that would demand significant minutes ... even on a U.S. team, where he probably would’ve been a starter,” coach Mike Krzyzewski said during a conference call, noting that George could have

played some power forward along with small forward.

“Paul is one of the great defensive players in the league,” Krzyzewski added. “So earlier in the week we had talked — he had even come up to me and said, ‘Coach, that’s the role I want. I want to be able to defend whoever is the best perimeter player. Whoever you want me to be on, I want to do that for you.’ And so you lose a player of that caliber, you take a hit.”

The Americans trimmed the roster by cutting Washington’s John Wall and Bradley Beal, and Atlanta’s Paul Millsap.

They have to get down to 12 before the World Cup of Basketball begins Aug. 30 in Spain.

The players remaining are: Oklahoma City’s Kevin Durant, Chicago’s Derrick Rose, Cleveland’s Kyrie Irving, New Orleans’ Anthony Davis, Golden State’s Stephen

Curry and Klay Thompson, Houston’s James Harden, Atlanta’s Kyle Korver, Sacramento’s DeMarcus Cousins, Dallas’ Chandler Parsons, Utah’s Gordon Hayward, Toronto’s DeMar DeRozan, Portland’s Damian Lillard, Denver’s Kenneth Faried, Detroit’s Andre Drummond and Brooklyn’s Mason Plumlee.

George would have been on the team but was injured when his leg crashed into the bottom of the basket stanchion after he tried to block a shot during the Americans’ intrasquad exhibition game Friday in Las Vegas. He had surgery early Saturday and was expected to return to Indiana this week.

The injury, the most significant suffered by a U.S. player since pros were first used in 1992, could lead to a discussion of whether the policy should be changed.

The Javy Baez hysteria continues with Game 2 in the major-league career against the Rockies.

FOOD In honor of the Blessed Mother Italian American Society hosts annual religious and food festival

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND

“It used to be a one-day event, but more people kept asking if they could come, so we opened it up to the public.”

dunland@shawmedia.com CREST HILL – Meatball, Italian beef and Italian sausage sandwiches. Mostaccioli.

Pizza. Gelato. Homemade cannoli. Tiramisu. Spaghetti-eating contests for children and adults.

And that’s just for starters.

The 15th annual Festa Italiana also will include an outdoor Mass, a procession, bake sale featuring pizzelles and biscotti, raffle and children’s games, and an estimated 3,000 patrons over the two-day event – all in honor of the Blessed Mother, with proceeds going to local charities.

And no, not everyone who will attend the event is Italian.

“They just wish they were,” Andrea Fazio-DiVecchio of Shorewood, event co-coordinator, said with a smile.

In Italy, Fazio-DiVecchio said, the feast day of Mary’s entrance into heaven is a nationally observed religious holiday, one that includes a Mass and procession with pictures, banners and a statue of Mary enshrined in flowers, with people leaving monetary donations beside her.

Following the procession is plenty of feasting and dancing, which the Italian American Cultural Society in Crest Hill replicates at its Festa Italiana.

“We have dancers that are members of the club wearing authentic costumes that were handmade in Italy,” said Sandi Carestia Doyle of Crest Hill, event co-coordinator.

Shirley Smith, former Joliet dance studio owner, and Maria Carestia, Doyle’s mother, direct the dance troupe, Doyle said.

Continuing that cultural/ religious heritage was the reason why one member of the Italian American Society – Tony Brandolino – started the festa, Fazio-DiVecchio said. At

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Read the suit from partner’s play

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Nancy Mitford, an English novelist, said: “I have only read one book in my life and that is ‘White Fang.’ It’s so frightfully good that I’ve never bothered to read another.”

That is hard to believe – she must have read her own books!

One of the arts of good bridge is reading the cards – working out who has what from those played.

That is important for West in this deal. How should he plan the defense against three no-trump? West leads the heart four: three, jack, queen. South plays a club to dummy’s king, then runs the diamond jack. After winning with his queen, how should West continue?

South starts with only five top tricks: two hearts (given trick one) and three clubs. Obviously he will play on diamonds for more winners, with spades on the back burner if necessary.

Several years ago, during an interview, I was asked what is the one thing I teach my students that they never seem to get straight and I cannot understand why. This is what I answered. When playing third hand high on defense, you play the bottom of equally powerful cards.

In this deal, when East plays the heart jack at trick one, he denies holding the 10. So West, reading the cards, knows that South started with the heart ace, queen and 10.

This means that leading another heart cannot be right. West needs to get East on play for a heart lead through South.

Enter the second key rule: If you lead low from length, you guarantee at least one honor in that suit. Here, West should shift to the spade eight, high denying an honor. Then East should win with his ace and return the heart seven, resulting in South’s going down two.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: Coming out of an abusive relationship in the past, I made some poor decisions.

I moved away from home and into pornography and prostitution. I come from a small town, and it became a big deal when it hit the Internet. Everyone in my generation back home knew what I did.

Years later, I’m back home. I have a wonderful husband and we’re expecting our first child – a girl. My husband loves and accepts me in spite of my past, and my mother has become my best friend. I love my life here.

Nowhere else feels like home.

But I’m worried that my child’s life could be miserable here because of my past. She will go to school with the children of people who know my history.

No parent would want their child around me and – by extension – her. She may also learn the unsavory things I did.

I’m torn between moving away for her sake or staying. My parents are aging and have no one else to care for them. They

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips can’t follow me, but say I should do what is best for the baby. I hate the idea of deserting my parents when they need me. But I also hate that my child will be ostracized. Can you help? – Lost In The South Dear Lost: For your child’s sake, I think you should relocate. As I’m sure you have already realized, people can be cruel and they love to talk.

When children overhear what is said over the back fence, they can be cruel, too, and I’d rather your daughter wasn’t subjected to it. (This is not to imply that wherever you go, you might not encounter someone who recognizes you – but the chances are less.)

You don’t have to move right away. Take your time and scout out locations. Arrangements can be made for care if your parents need it. But your daughter’s wel-

fare must come first.

Dear Abby: When you go to the store for milk and eggs there is a “sell-by” date on the package. How long after that date is it safe to use them? – Wondering In New Jersey Dear Wondering: According to Eatbydate.com, when it comes to milk, the length of time it lasts beyond the expiration date on the carton depends on what kind of milk it is. Lactose-free and non-fat milk last another seven to 10 days.

Skim and reduced-fat milk, one week.

Whole milk should last five to seven days. Of course, for this to happen, the milk must be stored properly, at a temperature at or below 40 degrees Fahrenheit.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics states that eggs should be refrigerated at the time you buy them and as soon as possible upon your return home, and can be used up to three weeks after the sell-by date if they have been stored properly.

Choose right kind, right amount of fish during pregnancy Dear Doctor K: I recently found out that I’m pregnant. I’d like to continue eating fish, but I understand some fish contain mercury, which could be harmful to my baby. What fish should I avoid?

Dear Reader: Fish are a great source of lean protein, and many types are rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, which help brain and nerve development and protect the heart. In fact, current dietary guidelines recommend that women who are pregnant eat 12 ounces of seafood a week.

But as you noted, some species of fish do contain worrisome amounts of methylmercury. This toxin is especially dangerous to developing brains. High-mercury fish you should avoid during pregnancy include swordfish, shark, king mackerel and tilefish.

A recent study may add two more fish to that list. The study hints that salmon and tuna may also boost mercury levels.

The new study looked at what types of seafood Americans eat and how often, and how that affects mercury levels in the blood.

The vast majority of participants had blood levels of mercury in

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff the safe zone. Not surprisingly, the more fish people ate, the higher the levels of mercury in their blood. Those who consumed swordfish, shark and other high-mercury fish were the most likely to have higher blood levels of mercury. But some study participants who reported that they ate only salmon or tuna also had high mercury levels.

My Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Emily Oken has studied women’s fish consumption during pregnancy. She explains that it’s complicated to tease out the harmful effects of mercury. That’s because the primary source of mercury in our diets is fish. And fish have nutrients that are beneficial to the brain and the heart – the same organs that mercury may harm.

Low-mercury fish options include trout, herring, pollock, flounder and sole. (On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put a

table listing additional low-mercury seafood choices.)

In this column I try to make things simple, but the reality is that things are rarely as simple as we would like. Eating fish is a good example. Like all foods, fish contain many different substances. Many of them are healthy, but some of them are unhealthy.

So, what do you do? As with so many things in life, the key is moderation. Continue to enjoy fish, just not too much. Since you’re pregnant, eat 12 ounces of fish a week. And choose the fish that contain relatively low levels of mercury. Stay away from high-mercury species.

Finally, remember that “moderation” also applies to advice. If you’ve already had a meal or two of high-mercury fish during your pregnancy, please don’t worry that you’ve injured your baby’s brain. A meal or two of high-mercury fish is not like taking poison.

Daughter should not feel guilty Dr. Wallace: I was born in December of 1997. Last weekend I was looking for my birth certificate in a box marked “important” papers, and while browsing through the box, I found my parents’ wedding certificate. It stated that they were married on July 14, 1997.

My mom always told me that they were married on July 14, 1996. My parents are now divorced, and I am living with my mom.

She is a wonderful parent and I love her very much. She is also my best friend. My parents are divorced and my father has left the region and we don’t know where he is and we don’t really care. He was a terrible husband and father. I’m thrilled that he is out of our lives.

Now that I have discovered that mom was pregnant when she married my father, I feel guilty because she probably wouldn’t have married this guy if she wasn’t going to have a baby. Should I talk to my mom about all this, or should I just “let sleeping dogs lie”? – Nameless, Moline Dear Nameless: You had nothing to say about your parents’ marriage, and it appears that their divorce was inevitable.

You have no reason to feel guilty for anything concerning Mom and Dad. There is no good reason to mention to Mom that you are aware that she was pregnant when she married your father.

Dr. Wallace: I would like to comment on the girl who said that her parents compared her to a cousin just to encourage her to do better academically.

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace Your response was very true. Her parents were making a huge mistake and they needed to stop this practice immediately.

Here is my story.

I hope this will cause parents to encourage, but not by comparison.

My mother always compared me unfavorably to my many cousins. I was either too fat or my grades were not good enough.

Now time has passed and I’m the vice president of a health care system. I have a master’s degree in business administration, and I earn a good salary. None of my cousins have my educational or professional status. That’s really not important.

Thanks to my mother, I still struggle with low self-esteem, a remnant of feeling like a failure when compared to my cousins. Is it possible that parents who use comparison as a motivational tool for their children are really trying to compensate for their own feelings of inadequacy when they were young? – Jo, Baltimore, Md. Dear Jo: Yes, it is possible. And it’s always good for parents and teens to hear from someone who had a negative experience and finished with a positive life. I’m sure many parents will reconsider their actions and motivate their children in a more positive way.

More Content Now A look at the latest from Kingsley Flood and Rockin’ Jason D. Williams, an eclectic covers collection spotlighting Bob Dylan’s ’80s output, and a vinyl reissue of a Bonnie Raitt classic.

• Kingsley Flood, ‘Live at the Armory. George Hall’s guitar work provides even more of a backbone here than on Kingsley Flood’s stellar studio albums: Unassumingly raucous, it simultaneously grounds this live collection of the band’s best songs – recorded in front of a small crowd at the Armory in Somerville, Massachusetts – and sends it soaring at all the right moments. His turn on “Devil’s Arms Full,” all winking swagger and rockabilly raunch, is a particular standout.

But as usual with these Boston-based folk-punk (or is it punk-folk?) rockers, “Live at the Armory” lives and dies by frontman Naseem Khuri’s lyrics and his breathless delivery of them. On rockers like “Strongman’ and “Sun Gonna Lemme Shine,” his compelling, wild-eyed rasp is impassioned, pointed and best of all, unique; there’s just no one else out there who sounds like this guy.

Factor in killer horns and Jenee Morgan’s beautiful harmonies and counterpoints, and you have the perfect entry into Kingsley Flood’s world if you’ve yet to experience it – or the perfect celebration of it if you have.

• Rockin’ Jason D. Williams, ‘Hillbillies and Holy Rollers.’ Williams isn’t exactly the force of nature here that he was on 2010’s “Killer Instincts,” but the (slightly) slower place actually suits the new album well, taking Williams’ boogie-woogie piano licks and laconic vocal drawl in cheeky new directions.

CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: Kingsley Flood’s “Live at the Armory;” Rockin’ Jason D. Williams’ “Hillbillies and Holy Rollers;” Vinyl Spotlight: Bonnie Raitt’s “Nick of Time;” and Various Artists, “Bob Dylan in the ’80s, Volume One” are some of the recent and recommended albums of August. juggling the “Good Book on Sundays, Saturday nights in bars.” Meanwhile, “This is Rock & Roll,” the most obvious nod to Williams’ muse Jerry Lee Lewis, allows him to beat the keys with his usual fervor while celebrating early rock’s power and pleasures.

But it’s the covers that really make “Hillbillies” a keeper – Williams’ sly piano take on Johnny Cash’s “Folsom Prison Blues” stands among that song’s most enjoyable versions. And his snappy “Sweet Georgia Brown” actually breathes new life into the old chestnut, effectively swiping it back from the Harlem Globetrotters. Short, punchy and irrepressible, “Hillbillies and Holy Rollers” is a halfhour or so well spent. (Info at rockinjasondwilliams.com) • Various Artists, ‘Bob Dylan in the ’80s, Volume One.’ There are pleasures to be found in Bob Dylan’s much-maligned ’80s output, and the contributors to “Bob Dylan in the ’80s” prove it on one of the

most consistent collections of Dylan covers to come along in a while.

The album only has one flat-out disaster: Reggie Watts’ truncated, jumbled up version on “Brownsville Girl,” easily Dylan’s masterpiece of that decade. But the rest of the tracks are all worthwhile: The Hold Steady’s Craig Finn was made to cover “Sweetheart Like You,” and Glen Hansard’s ragged “Pressing On,” from Dylan’s “Saved,” captures the simplicity and beauty of Bob’s “gospel” output.

Some of these songs were just so well constructed by Dylan that it would take a concerted effort to do them poorly – “Jokerman” and “Dark Eyes” come to mind, and the versions here, by Built to Spill and Dawn Landes with Bonnie “Prince” Billy, are suitably stunning.

More impressive, though, are the “lesser” tracks that the cover artists make their own: “When The Night Comes Falling From the

Sky,” a Springsteen knockoff from “Empire Burlesque,” becomes a jangly triumph in Lucius’ hands. And “Got My Mind Made Up,” a bluesy trifle from “Knocked Out Loaded,” translates much better in Langhorne Slim’s banjo-laden Americana version.

“Bob Dylan in the ’80s” shows that era to be a more than worthy inspiration to Bobophiles present and future. Not to mention deserving of space on your Bob mixtape (whatever that is).

(Info at 80sdylan.com) • Vinyl Spotlight: Bonnie Raitt, ‘Nick of Time.’ Capitol Records/ UMe has issued a vinyl re-release of Bonnie Raitt’s “Nick of Time” to commemorate its 25th anniversary, which is as good a reason as any to revisit the album – and I’m happy to report it holds up beautifully. Awash in gravelly blues and poignant ballads, it’s smooth without being slick, and her slide guitar work is, frankly, mesmerizing.

Raitt’s two original compositions are easily among the album’s best: The opening title track is one of the most thoughtful meditations on aging ever set to music.

And “The Road’s My Middle Name,” closes the album with a rollicking, worn-in vibe that feels well-earned.

In between those two tracks are an impressive array of blues rock efforts, several of which today feel like standards. The buoyant riff Raitt puts on John Hiatt’s “Thing Called Love” only amplifies the song’s infectious appeal, and on Bonnie Hayes’ winking “Love Letter,” Raitt’s crisp drawl generates the steam heat of as-yet-unrequited love.

Twenty-five years later, the remastered vinyl edition is a wonderful way to relive all these songs – rarely has an artist been better suited for vinyl’s warm tone. If you somehow missed it the first time around, there’s no (nick of) time like the present to discover Raitt’s stunning comeback. (Info at bonnieraitt.com)
