By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Tom Giarrante told the City Council this week that plans are moving ahead as fast as possible on a privately funded bridge project at Houbolt Road that could relieve truck traffic in the city.

Giarrante said Tuesday he has been meeting with officials from the Illinois Department of Transportation, potential investors and other entities for the past couple of months.

“All the stakeholders, the investors, they are moving on it,” Giarrante said. “There are some concerns by the investors to ensure that the trucks

use the toll road. ... It is moving forward as fast as it can.”

The project would build a toll bridge over the Des Plaines River at Houbolt Road/Hollywood Road, and provide trucks with direct access to Interstate 80, helping alleviate traffic on Route 53 in the city.

Only trucks would have to pay the toll, which would help fund the project, along with private investments.

“We’ve had to tie up some loose ends like approval with [Illinois Environmental Protection Agency] and the corps of engineers,” Giarrante said, adding that the bridge would be a long-term project for a long-term solution.

However, the project became the latest political issue between Giarrante and Councilman Bob O’Dekirk, who is running against Giarrante for mayor next spring.

“Eight months ago, the proposal of this project came forward as a toll bridge,” O’Dekirk said. “It hasn’t moved forward at all and nothing was presented to the city council by the mayor.”

O’Dekirk said he is “willing to lead the way in forging a partnership with this private group to get it done and get it done now.”

O’Dekirk said a semitrailer rollover accident on Interstate 55 near I-80 on Monday

McKee trial: Massaro’s father goes back to sleep, may have been woken by killings

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Alisa Massaro’s father was sleeping on the couch in his Hickory Street house in January 2013 when he heard noise upstairs.

“It sounded like somebody was wrestling or something. I yelled up through the ceiling, ‘Keep it down up there,’ ” Phil Massaro testified Wednesday.

Prosecutors say the “wrestling” was Terrence Rankins and Eric Glover being strangled to death Jan. 10, 2013, by Joshua Miner and Adam Landerman. Authorities allege the two arranged with Alisa Massaro and Bethany McKee to lure the victims to Alisa’s upstairs apartment and rob them.

Bethany McKee is charged with murder for her alleged role in the slayings and is on trial this week.

Alisa Massaro pleaded guilty to lesser charges and agreed to testify against the others. She is expected to testify Thursday.

Phil Massaro said McKee and his daughter came downstairs right after the noises began and his daughter said a TV had fallen off the dresser.

“I asked who was up there and [Alisa] said ‘Two dudes,’ ”

he testified. There was no further conversation.

The noises stopped soon after and Phil Massaro went back to sleep on the couch. He left for work the next morning without going upstairs.

Phil Massaro, who no longer lives in the Hickory Street residence, told Judge Gerald Kinney he didn’t know anything was amiss until he returned home that evening to find it blocked by police.

Defense attorney Neil Patel asked Massaro if his daughter was bipolar, which brought an immediate objection from Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Dan Walsh. Kinney agreed the question was inappropriate, and Alisa’s father was dismissed.

Kankakee police Sgt. Timothy Klopp testified he pulled McKee over as she arrived in Kankakee on Route 113 on the evening the bodies were discovered. Joliet Detective Shawn Filipiak testified about collecting a bottle of cold medicine from a bedroom in the apartment.

Joliet Detective James Hargrow was asked by Assistant Will County State’s Attorney Tricia McKenna about a pair of baby shoes, a stuffed white bunny rabbit and a stuffed Min-

nie Mouse he collected from the apartment where the slayings occurred.

To have them admitted as evidence, McKenna asked Hargrow questions about the stuffed animals that seemed very formal for children’s toys.

Prosecutors want to show in addition to taking cash from Rankins’ pockets, the defendants took items belonging to Glover’s 2-year-old daughter from his car.

Along with the alleged stranglers, McKee is charged with murder for allegedly participating in the robbery that led to the victims’ deaths.

State police crime lab technician Jamie Edwards testified McKee left a fingerprint on a tequila bottle that was taken from Massaro’s apartment. Under cross-examination by Patel, Edwards said none of the 31 fingerprints found on the plastic garbage bags under Rankins’ body were matched to McKee. The garbage bags had been attached with 33 pieces of black electrical tape and have 39 fingerprints on them, Edwards said. Thirty-five of those prints do not match McKee, and additional testing has not been done on the four remaining fingerprints to match or rule them out.

afternoon was the last straw for him, referencing previous accidents including two collisions that caused five fatalities July 21.

That crash highlighted discussion about the increase in truck traffic in the region. The Village of Elwood’s also has struggled with implementing traffic controls to lower the number of trucks traveling its stretch of Route 53.

O’Dekirk said Giarrante’s meetings with project officials haven’t been open to city council members. But Giarrante said those meetings are private, due to investors’ wishes to remain unnamed at this point.

Last guided tours at Lake Renwick Saturday, Wednesday

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Lloyd Finley and his wife, Pansy, ventured last week to the Lake Renwick Heron Rookery Nature Preserve in search of a peaceful afternoon of bird watching.

“We used to come out here all the time, but this is the first time in several years,” Lloyd Finley said, making his way up a crushed limestone path to the heron rookery viewing area – a short hike from the visitors’ center. He and his wife, of Lockport, enjoy the isolation and quiet atmosphere.

So do the birds that raise their young on the islands of Lake Renwick.

There, the 150-acre lake and associated wetland preserves protect black-crowned night herons, great egrets, great blue herons and double-crested cormorants from human disturbances. During nesting season, which runs from May until August, bird watchers are limited to guided tours held twice a week with the help of bird-savvy volunteers.

The nesting posts, resembling small, white pirate ships from a distance, provide protection for the migratory birds that are seldom seen in the Midwest during the winter months, said Roger Flees, volunteer with the Forest Preserve District of Will County.

The birds typically migrate south for the winter and return to the area in March and immediately start building their nests, Flees said. Around this time, the birds can be seen flying near the lake’s edge or in nearby fields in search of vegetation to use, he said.

“For the most part, they nest in layers,” Flees said.

“The great blue heron, the largest of the birds, tend to like the top of the posts more.

BELOW: A double-crested cormorant is seen flying July 30 at Lake Renwick Heron Rookery in Plainfield.

The cormorants are just so aggressive that they tend to rest in the middle and force the great egrets and the blackcrowned night heron further down. It’s quite fascinating. It wasn’t that way before the cormorants settled here.”

The Heron Rookery Nature Preserve’s last two guided bird tours this season are scheduled for Saturday and Wednesday. Guided tours are limited to these days from May 1 until Aug. 15 each year to limit human disturbances while birds are nesting.

However, beginning Aug. 16, the nature preserve – including a 1.44-mile crushed limestone trail – is open to the public until Feb. 28.

Flees, who has volunteered at this particular preserve for the past three years, said avid bird watchers return on a regular basis during the nesting

season.

“It’s always an inquisitive visit, trying to see if there’s something new going on,” Flees said. “When you’re a

bird watcher, you never get tired of seeing birds over and over again. You might see something new.”

By April, the birds have laid their eggs. And by July or August, the young are nearly full-grown, but still need their parents, Flees said.

“They’re still somewhat relying on their parents to feed them, to show them what to do,” he said. “Within a month or so, the babies are going to be completely self-sufficient.

The babies tend to migrate where the parents go, at least the first year.”

Three Rivers Festival opens in a special way

By JEAN TYRELL Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – The Ferris wheel turned out to be a ride that Anastacio Salazar’s 4-year-old son did not quite like Wednesday as they visited the Channahon Three Rivers Festival.

Once the ride started going fast, Emiliano started to squirm and stretched out toward the door. His dad held him tightly and then waved at the attendant to stop the ride.

Anastacio’s request to stop the ride was not a problem because all of the families and caregivers in attendance at the carnival were accompanying people with special needs.

The people running the rides knew that children like Emiliano, who has Down syndrome, might need to experience the carnival at a different pace than other children.

The Channahon-Minooka Rotary Club, in conjunction with Fantasy Amusements, invited all these individuals and their caregivers for a half-day Wednesday at the Three Rivers Festival in advance of the public opening of the carnival.

The carnival opened

Lifeguards Henry Bugajski (left) and Jake Wietting (right) wait to assist Samantha Mast, 6, of Yorkville from a pool of water after she went down a water slide Wednesday at the Tomahawk Aquatic Center at Central Park during Channahon’s Three Rivers Festival.

Wednesday evening and will continue through Sunday at Central Park, which is at U.S. Route 6 and Bluff Road.

These children, their parents and caregivers swam at

the Tomahawk Aquatic Center, ate, and attended the carnival – all free of charge. Food was donated by John Carnagio’s McDonald’s in Channahon and Minooka and TCBY of Shore-

wood. Volunteers also came from the Rotary Clubs of Joliet and Morris.

For Anastacio, there was another purpose in attending the event – he and his wife could

visit with other parents of special needs children. He said no one else in his family has a child with Down syndrome.

“It’s a chance for us to familiarize ourselves with other parents. We ask people [we see here] with children with Downs, ‘How do you do this?

How do you handle things?’”

So the event also became a chance to relax in the company of others who understand.

Ride Superintendent Rick Stanley from Fantasy Amusements, the carnival company, said the entire park for the morning was geared to the needs of people with special needs who might not like too much commotion or too much noise.

He said they don’t even open the Freakout or Supershot, rides that swing violently or drop riders too suddenly. No food or game booths were open either. In the one booth that was opened, manned by Stanley’s wife, Gina, all the stuffed toys and trinkets were given away at no charge. All the participants had to do was turn over a plastic duck.

“It’s good for our hearts, their hearts,” Stanley said. “It’s good all the way around.”

Fairmont school board and fired employee fail to settle suit vs. district

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Fairmont School District 89 and a fired employee failed to reach a settlement this week on a lawsuit filed against the district.

The federal lawsuit was referred to a magistrate judge after former district Curriculum Coordinator Debra Acanfora and Fairmont school officials agreed to a settlement conference that took place Tuesday. Acanfora, who alleges unfair treatment and abuse by the school district’s superintendent Sonya Whitaker, filed the lawsuit against school officials when she was fired in May. The case had become more contentious when Acanfora’s attorneys filed an emergency motion June 12 to protect evidence contending Whitaker may have been trying to destroy evidence related to the lawsuit. Hopes of finding common ground were dashed Tuesday when both parties could not reach a settlement.

Fairmont Board President Joseph Ryan said in a written statement that the district agreed to the settlement conference hoping to avoid costs of litigation but was not able to reach an agreement.

The terms of the settlement discussions are confidential by law, and neither party is able to disclose the proposed terms.

“The district is now fully prepared to vigorously defend itself against Ms. Acanfora’s false allegations,” Ryan’s statement read.

Ryan declined Wednesday to further discuss the settle-

ment other than to refer to his written statement.

According to Ryan’s statement, an internal investigation of Acanfora’s allegations in the lawsuit conducted by defense counsel indicated the allegations were unfounded.

The investigation also found no evidence supporting allegations of assault and battery, which Ryan’s statement labeled as “ludicrous.”

Vanessa Clohessy, an attorney representing the school district, declined to comment on details of the investigation into Acanfora’s allegations. She is with the firm Hodges, Loizzi, Eisenhammer, Rodick & Kohn LLP. In a June 19 formal response, Whitaker and board members denied the allegations of Acanfora’s lawsuit.

In Acanfora’s lawsuit, she contended her due process rights were violated when she was fired and she denied allegations of stealing mail from the school district. In Ryan’s statement, he said the school district already determined to not renew Acanfora’s contract by the end of the school year and communicated that information in a “professional and timely manner fully compliant with the Illinois School Code.”

“Contrary to Ms. Acanfora’s breach of contract claim, her contract was ultimately terminated early because without authorization, she removed a document from the school office,” Ryan’s statement read.

A call left with Acanfora’s attorney was not immediately returned Wednesday.

Anniversary celebrations for Joliet high schools canceled

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS

lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Events celebrating the 50th anniversaries of Joliet Central and West high schools have been canceled due to lack of ticket sales.

Lynne Lichtenauer, alumni relations director, declined to say how many tickets her office had sold since sales began June 1.

But she did say the total was “well below” the low-end target of 200 tickets for each event.

“I don’t know what happened. My stomach is still in knots,” Lichtenauer said. “It has boggled my mind.”

The 50th celebrations for Joliet West and Joliet Central were slated for Sept.

Contact the Alumni Relations Office for more information at 815-727-6763.

6 and Sept. 27. The events would have commemorated the year in which both schools were created. Joliet Township High School, which opened in 1901, was renamed Joliet Central in 1964 when the new Joliet West campus opened.

Timing also could have been an issue, Lichtenauer said.

“Maybe it was the time of the year. Maybe parents have already taken vacations and are now focused on their children going back to

school in August,” she said.

Facebook pages were created specifically for the events, she said. Her office also sent out three email blasts to alumni spanning 50 years and bought advertisements in local newspapers and on the radio, she said.

Those who purchased tickets online or through the Alumni Relations Office will be notified and will have their money refunded.

Commemorative T-shirts for each campus will still be sold for $15 each.

Alumni who would like to attend either of the homecoming games may call the Alumni Relations Office to put their names on a list for each game’s pass gate. Alumni will be admitted into the games free of charge.

Lockport council agrees to stay with electric program final year. Lockport would be able to benefit from the rate under the program’s new contract.

“This could lock in a rate at three years for our customers,” Benson said.

The rate from Homefield Energy would represent a six percent savings over the current ComEd rate of .0742 cents a kilowatt hour, city officials said.

With Wednesday’s council approval of the agreement, notifications to opt out of program are expected to be sent over a 21-day period and final approval of residential and commercial participation will be completed. Residents can opt out of the program after the 21-day period any time with no penalty.

The enrollment process for eligible participants will begin in September, city officials said.

Minooka stabbing suspect indicted

By CHRISTINA CHAPMAN–VAN YPEREN cchapman@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The man charged with stabbing his co-worker at a Minooka warehouse last month was indicted Wednesday by a grand jury for attempted murder.

Marshall Brown, 42, of Joliet, was indicted for attempt-

ed first degree murder, a class X felony and aggravated battery with a weapon, a class 3 felony, according to a news release from Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland.

Brown was arrested July 17

by Chicago police on charges related to the July 11 incident, where he is accused of stabbing another employee at the

World Class Distribution Inc. warehouse in Minooka.

Brown and a 31-year-old Country Club Hills man were working inside a freezer unit, when they began arguing, according to police. Brown allegedly stabbed his co-worker and fled the scene in a vehicle.

The victim was stabbed multiple times and hospitalized afterwards.

Man found not guilty in Oct. 5 shooting

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man was found not guilty of attempted murder for a shooting at a party last fall after witnesses said they could not remember giving previous statements that identified the shooter.

Dominique D. Travis’ trial ended Tuesday afternoon when Judge Robert Livas agreed prosecutors failed to sustain the charges against him with-

out the defense having to present a case.

Travis was allegedly identified right after the Oct. 5, 2013, shooting at a residence in the 100 block of Malibu Drive in Bolingbrook, but witnesses testified in court they did not remember doing so.

Travis was suspected of shooting a 20-year-old Bolingbrook man in the chest and a 21-year-old Bolingbrook man in the leg during a fight outside the party. He was alleged-

ly seen fleeing as a passenger in an SUV and throwing a gun from the vehicle during a police chase.

Martez Doss, who is serving a sentence for ramming a squad car while driving the vehicle, said he “did not remember” if Travis was his passenger.

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

LOCKPORT – City officials in Lockport decided to continue their membership with the Will County Electric Aggregation Group to ensure low electricity rates for residents.

With unanimous approval Wednesday, city council members decided to once again stay members of a program run under the Will County Governmental League that aims to give its members savings on electricity bills. As part of the program, residents and small commercial retail customers are able to participate in an opt-in electric aggregation program.

“It’s an opportunity to take advantage of the cost savings available to us right now,” said City Administrator Ben Benson.

Lockport officials want-

ed to renew their agreement because their contract with Verde Energy was coming to an end and the city would be subject to energy rates by ComEd, which have the potential to be raised at any time. The program has saved participants in Will County a combined total of $25.5 million over a two-year period or an average of $500 to $530 a household, according to city officials.

Neighboring communities who are also members of the program include Frankfort, Homer Glen, Lemont and Romeoville.

The Will County Electric Aggregation Group and Will County Governmental League voted to accept a proposal by Homefield Energy for a threeyear contract at the rate of .06996 cents a kilowatt hour for the first two years and .06850 cents a kilowatt hour for the

• BIRDS Continued from page 3 the site each year. That number has grown since the forest preserve district bought the land in the early 1990s. A major restoration in 2002 enhanced breeding and feeding areas. Artificial nesting platforms were installed, providing 500 new nesting spots for the birds.

About 65 acres within the preserve were converted from farmland to a grassland and wetland habitat, further protecting the birds’ habitat.

Last week marked a second visit to the heron rookery this summer for Vivien Boyd, 35, and her husband, Andy Kurylo, 29, of Plainfield. For the couple, bird watching is a way to bond and relax.

“Life gets so chaotic and crazy, and bird watching is something that reminds you that you’re not the only creatures out here. They’re so free,” Boyd said.

4,000 Scouts coming to Lewis University

A Caspian tern flies near an island filled with black-crowned night herons, double-crested cormorants, great blue herons and great egrets July 30 at Lake Renwick Heron Rookery in Plainfield.

If you go n Wednesday is the last day to participate in guided tours, which are limited to Wednesdays and Saturdays from May 1 until Aug. 15 each year to limit human disturbances while birds are nesting. n The Lake Renwick Heron Rookery Nature Preserve – including a 1.44mile crushed limestone trail – is open from 8 a.m. to sunset Aug. 16 to Feb. 28. n The center is closed from Aug. 16 until April 30 except for program events.

ROMEOVILLE – The Boy Scouts of America and Lewis University Airport will host about 4,000 Scouts and leaders from across the country Friday through Sunday for the first Scout AirFest.

The event, which is closed to the public but open to any Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venture Scout or adult leader, encourages Scouts to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and math, otherwise known as STEM. “We developed Scout AirFest for this very reason,” said Marc Ryan, scout executive for the Rainbow Council serving Will and Grundy counties. “The big idea is to expose Scouts to these fields at a fun, aviation-themed event.”

AirFest coordinator Ken McCafferty said the event is a culmination of two years of

working with Lewis University, the Joliet Regional Port District and the National Weather Service to establish what he called the largest gathering of Scouts in the area.

“There are over 70 programs, with model rockets, discovery flights and a National Weather Service tour,” McCafferty said.

Other STEM-related activities include an astronomy quest, hot air balloons, a cockpit tour of a Boeing 737, experimental aircraft demonstrations, a Mercury Space Capsule exhibit, amateur radio, table top robotics and vintage airplane exhibits.

“The reason this is important is because kids often overlook the field of aviation for potential career opportunities,” McCafferty said.

“The goal of this event is to show kids different avenues to follow to achieve their goals.”

8 Rookery in Plainfield has grown in size

Braidwood offers discounted homes to vets BRAIDWOOD – Mayor Bill Rulien thinks veterans make good community members.

“Veterans, as a group, are people that are good at volunteering, that are good at teamwork, that will help their neighbors. They are people you want in your community,” Rulien said.

Within the next year, Rulien and other village officials hope to recruit more veterans to the area through a housing program that markets homes at a discounted rate to veterans,

police officers and firefighters.

A veterans organization known as Restoration America, based out of Hoffman Estates, will be constructing 35 new homes within the Townes of Braidwood subdivision near Cermak and English streets, and it is working with the village to fill those homes with veterans and local emergency personnel.

Through a program known as Welcome Home Heroes, Restoration America ensures that all military veterans receive a $10,000 state-funded grant to use as a down payment on the home; police and fire officials

receive a $7,000 grant.

All Illinois veterans are eligible for an additional $18,000 in grant funding that can be put toward buying a new home.

Restoration America will sell the homes at a price less than market value as an added incentive for the veterans.

The Welcome Home Heroes

program has achieved success in other municipalities in Illinois, but according to Director Charles Konkus, Restoration America was drawn to Braidwood because of its close proximity to the newly-constructed Edward Hines Veterans Affairs outpatient clinic in Joliet.

“Our goal here is to get veterans into new housing and have them serviced by the new veterans hospital in Joliet,” Konkus said.

In the future, a public bus service may be provided to transport the veterans from the subdivision to the hospital located about 27 miles away,

Konkus said.

The homes will be built in styles to accommodate various ages and family units – from young couples with children to elderly veterans with no family.

The cost of the homes is still unknown, but Konkus said the organization hopes to begin construction on the first set of homes within the next few months.

Anyone can buy one of the homes, but they will not receive the same grant aid and discounts that veterans, police and fire personnel will receive, Konkus said.

Will County jail video visitation system up and running lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County jail’s video visitation system has been fully restored after a lightning strike from the June 30 storms rendered the system inoperable.

While the system was repaired, the adult detention facility’s 800 inmates were limited to one 30-minute visit a week, rather than the usual two visits a week, after staff repaired a small portion of the system’s 135 stations.

The video visitation center

– located across the street from the jail on South Chicago Street in downtown Joliet – typically sees about 4,000 to 5,000 visitations on a monthly basis, but visits had been “virtually zero” following the June 30 storms, officials had said.

The repairs were completed by Stanley Convergent Security Solutions, based out of Noblesville, Indiana, at a cost of $93,755. The county’s insurance company is covering the repair costs after a $25,000 deductible.

Brian Fink, deputy chief of operations at the jail, said

Wednesday the system continues to experience some minor glitches, but nothing that prevents inmates from using the visitation center.

“We’re kind of keeping our fingers crossed,” Fink said

Wednesday. Timers displayed across the TV screens alerting inmates and their visitors how much time is left are currently not working, but staff is working to fix that, Fink said.

The damaged part – an au-

dio/video switcher – was a critical component to the system’s overall functions. The jail saw other outages because of the June 30 storms, but the video visitation system was the most significant.

By KRYSTA FAURIA The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Dr. Jesse Steinfeld, who became the first surgeon general ever forced out of office by the president after he campaigned hard against smoking during the Richard Nixon era, died

and make the world a better place,” she said by telephone.

Steinfeld was a cancer researcher and taught at the University of Southern California medical school before serving as Nixon’s surgeon general from 1969-1973.

In office, Steinfeld won the ire of the tobacco industry for

his stubborn efforts to publicize the hazards of smoking.

He changed cigarette package labels that lukewarmly stated tobacco use might be connected to health problems.

Steinfeld’s label boldly warned: “The surgeon general has determined that smoking is hazardous to your health.”

He issued a report in 1971 that argued for tighter restrictions on smoking in public to protect people from secondhand smoke. He promoted bans on smoking in restaurants, theaters, planes and other public places – decades before such prohibitions became commonplace.

She retired 10 years ago to Rio Rancho, New Mexico. Her 2nd and current husband, Nathan Villagomez, resides in New Mexico. She loved her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren more than anything in the world. Her favorite saying was, “I Love You More”.

LAURA E. LAWRENCE Born: Sept. 24, 1968; in Evergreen Park, IL Died: Aug. 2, 2014; In Channahon, IL Laura Elizabeth Lawrence (nee Michna), age 45, of Channahon, peacefully entered eternal life Saturday, August 2, 2014, at her late residence.

If you are a gearhead or animal lover, you may want to read on.

Laura was born to John and Diane Michna on September 24, 1968, at Little Company of Mary Hospital in Evergreen Park, Illinois. She graduated from Hillcrest High School in Country Club Hills, Illinois in 1986.

Her favorite perfumes were fresh-cut wood and the pungent odor of burned rubber that lingers after a respectable burnout. She was in her element behind the wheel of her silver ‘68 Camaro RS, that her dear husband of 25 years, James Edward, lovingly restored.

The Channahon police never did catch up to her that day, after finding her tearing off while sporting open headers and her 83 year-old neighbor riding shotgun. You could count on her being in the pits at Grundy County Speedway every Friday night, cheering wildly for her favorite drivers (you know who you are). That poor flea market vendor is probably still scratching his head after he jokingly asked Laura if she needed any carburetors and she replied, “I already have a 780 CFM Holley Double Pumper.”

She was a fierce defender of the weak and so fitting were the two white tigers that adorned her back; one brown-eyed tiger for her beautiful firstborn daughter, Kristi Marie and the blue-eyed tiger for her beautiful baby girl, Amber Mae. You would most likely find her in a old tattered T-shirt, sawdust peppering her long blonde hair, making charming little birdhouses that she would give to everyone she met. Though flattered, she would gently scold you if she found your birdhouse displayed to decorate your mantle; it was well-known that those birdhouses were crafted for their intended inhabitants. Her offerings of, “What color birdhouse do you want?” were frequently met with replies of, “But I already have ten of them.” The mature weeping cherry tree that she lovingly planted as a new wife and

mother, would literally tremble with the excited vibrations of birds each morning while she filled their feeders.

Her beloved sister-in-law, Margaret Wells (nee Lawrence), shared this common affinity to nature.

Wild animals regularly scratched at her back door, knowing that there would be gifts of food and water for the asking. The threat of rabies, after being bitten by a raccoon, was no deterrent as she continued to welcome all of God’s creatures, against the protests of her concerned family.

She was well-suited for her role as a Dog Groomer (but preferred the term “Canine Stylist”) and established the thriving business “Laura’s Pet Salon.” She might forget your name, but she would never forget your pet’s name; reassuring customers that their beloved pets would be well-cared for.

Laura will be always be remembered for her devotion to her friends and family: generosity to those in need; unique charismatic personality; quick-witted, clever, and self-deprecating sense of humor; love of animals and gardening; and passion for auto racing. All of this fueled by endless pots of coffee.

A celebration of her life will be held at her home on Sunday, August 17, 2014, at 12:00 Noon. All friends and family are invited to attend.

In lieu of flowers, please send donations to your favorite charity.

Gov. Quinn signs bill addressing ‘payroll cards’

CHICAGO – Gov. Pat Quinn has signed a plan that gives workers who are paid with so-called payroll cards other payment options.

The cards work like debit cards.

Workers can withdraw their salaries from ATM’s or make purchases with them.

However, Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan says her office received complaints about fees that were cutting into workers’ salaries. Some of the fees included $4 for monthly statements and $5 for inactivity. Her office’s investigation found minimum wage workers were among those affected.

The cards have prompted complaints and lawsuits elsewhere.

Mentally ill prisoners costing more in Illinois

SPRINGFIELD – Treating and housing mentally ill prisoners is costing more in Illinois.

State documents show Illinois taxpayers will be billed more than $17.8 million to turn existing prison space into mental health care facilities, the Springfield bureau of Lee Enterprises newspapers reported.

The Illinois Department of Corrections has asked architectural firms for proposals to convert a dining hall at Pontiac Correctional Center into exam rooms for seriously mentally ill inmates, records from late July showed. The agency also wants to convert 48 cells at Pontiac to house mentally ill inmates. The cost is estimated

GOP’s Oberweis says Durbin bullied Walgreen

CHICAGO – As U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin declared victory Wednesday for Walgreen Co.’s decision to keep its headquarters in Illinois, Republican businessman Jim Oberweis accused him of “bullying,” saying the Senate’s second-ranking Democrat deserved scorn – not praise – for his efforts.

“His bullying of [Walgreen] was a political stunt designed to help only one person: Dick Durbin,” said Oberweis, a state senator and dairy magnate trying to unseat Durbin on Nov. 4. “It didn’t create any jobs. It didn’t reform our job-killing tax code.”

WILLIAM H. WINKELMANN Born: Dec. 10, 1941; in Chicago, IL Died: Aug. 2, 2014, in Plainfield, IL William “Bill/ Winky” H. Winkelmann, passed away in his sleep August 2nd, 2014, at Lakewood Nursing & Rehab Center in Plainfield IL. Bill was born in Chicago, December 10th, 1941. Bill grew up in the Lakeview area. He attended numerous schools, some less often than others, including Saint Luke Grammar School, Lane Tech, and the notorious reformatory

Montefiore.

Having had his fill of Montefiore, Bill began working on the trucking docks along side his father. That lasted until he joined the Army in 1961. In 1962, while stationed in Germany, Bill lost an eye in a near fatal jeep accident and was medically discharged from service.

Upon returning from the military, Bill went back to the docks, married his neighborhood sweetheart, Paulette, and fathered Paul in 1965, and Sherri in 1967. Bill moved his family to Romeoville in 1972, where he, his dog Angus, and Paulette, who passed away in 1998, lived out the rest of their lives.

Bill was a proud member of Teamster’s Local 710. He labored on the docks for 30 years before his well-earned retirement in 1992.

Bill spent his retirement traveling, gambling (both illegal and state sanctioned), coin collecting, sporting around in his 1970 Malibu and his new Cadillac, attending his grandchildren’s games, and watching NCIS and MSNBC. He especially enjoyed yelling at the politicians and Chicago teams on the TV screen.

Bill was a fisherman, a street drag racing contestant, a youth football coach, a.k.a Coach Wink, a gambler, a budget beer connoisseur, an opinionated political enthusiast, a

Cadillac aficionado, a Bears, Blackhawks, and Cubs fan. Naturally, Bill did not care for the White Sox or the Packers. Bill was sometimes gruff but he was always a caring and giving husband, father, grandfather, uncle, and friend.

Bill was preceded in death by his wife of 34 years, Paulette (Herr), parents William and Caroline (Dressler), his brother Bobby and sister Adeline (Anderson).

He is survived by two children, Paul and Sherri, two grandchildren, Max and Zoe, and several nieces, nephews and in-laws.

Visitation for Bill will be on Sunday, August 10th, 2014, from 12:00 to 5:00 p.m. at Anderson Memorial Chapel, 606 Townhall Dr. Romeoville IL. Interment will be Monday, Aug 11th, at 12:00, at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood IL. Funeral procession will be leaving Anderson’s for Abe’s at 11:00 a.m.

Kostueck; four cherished granddaughters, Nadia Zola, Emily (Gregory) Kazak and Rachel Jelinek, and Olivia Kostueck; sister, Judith (Walter) Lorenc; step-sister, Paula (Henry) Ales; dear family friend, Dorothy Borgra; son-in-law, Roger Hewlett; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, and cousins.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS BOSTON – A friend of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pleaded not guilty Wednesday to charges of trafficking heroin and possessing an illegal handgun connected to the April 2013 bombings.

Stephen Silva, 21, of Cambridge, appeared in federal court in Boston to waive his right to a detention hearing. He has been in custody since his July arrest. His next court date is Oct. 8.

Authorities have said they believe Silva provided Tsarnaev and his brother, Tamerlan, with the gun used to kill Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier during the dramatic manhunt following the April 2013 bombings, which killed three people and injured more than 260 others.

forbidden from turning away consumers with pre-existing conditions. But advocacy groups allege insurance companies are discouraging HIV and AIDS patients, who are expensive to cover, by requiring them to pay a percentage of costly medications instead of a flat co-pay, essentially pricing the medications out of reach.

Several insurance companies are also impeding access to services by requiring re-authorization for drugs consumers have been taking for years or making the claims process difficult, said Carl Schmid, deputy executive director of The AIDS Institute.

The group filed a complaint with U.S. Health and Human Services officials this summer against four Florida insurance companies, and advocates in other states are considering similar action.

Comet joined by space probe after 10-year pursuit

By FRANK JORDANS The Associated Press DARMSTADT, Germany – Turning what seemed like a science fiction tale into reality, an unmanned probe swung alongside a comet on Wednesday after a 4-billion mile chase through outer space over the course of a decade.

Europe’s Rosetta probe will orbit and study the giant lump of dust and ice as it hurtles toward the sun and, if all goes according to plan, drop a lander onto the comet in the coming months.

Rosetta turned up as planned for its rendezvous with comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko somewhere between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.

The incredible trip, launched March 2, 2004, marks a milestone in mankind’s effort to understand the mysterious ‘shooting stars’ that periodically flash past Earth, and which have often been viewed with fear and trepidation.

While the moon, Mars and even asteroids have been visited, no spacecraft has yet gotten so close to a comet. Having achieved this feat, Rosetta will go one step further and drop a lander on 67P’s icy surface – a maneuver planned for November.

“You can compare what we’ve done so far to finding a speck of dust in a big city,” said Gerhard Schwehm, who was lead scientist on the Rosetta mission until his recent retirement.

That’s probably an understatement.

To catch their quarry, scientists at the European Space Agency had to overcome a series of hurdles that included a last-minute change of destination – after a carrier rocket failure delayed launch – and a tense hibernation period of 31 months during which the probe was out of contact with

In this picture taken Aug. 3 by Rosetta’s OSIRIS narrow-angle camera, Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is pictured from a distance of 285 kms. ground stations.

Before Rosetta swung alongside 67P with a final thrust Wednesday, the spacecraft also had to accelerate to 34,000 mph – a speed that required three loops around Earth and one around Mars.

Underlining the singular achievement, ESA’s director-general Jean-Jacques Dordain told scientists and spectators at the mission control center in Darmstadt, Germany: “This is your only chance to have a rendezvous with a comet.”

Rosetta will now spend several months observing 67P from a safe distance of up to 60 miles. This will give scientists time to find a safe place to land Rosetta’s sidekick, Philae.

This maneuver will pose an unprecedented challenge because there will be no second shot. Recent pictures of 67P show that its surface is porous, with steep cliffs and house-sized boulders.

One person involved with Rosetta from the start told The Associated Press that the landing was “mission impossible” with only a slim chance of success. He spoke on condition of anonymity

to avoid harming his employer.

Even if the landing fails, Rosetta itself will remain in the comet’s orbit until at least the end of 2015, gathering reams of data with its 11 on-board sensors. As 67P gets closer to the sun it will begin to fizz and release the cloud of dust and ice that most people associate with comets.

“We’re going to have a ringside seat to see, for the first time, a comet turn into a comet, to develop its tail and explain what for centuries mankind has been puzzled by,” said David Southwood, a former president of the Royal Astronomical Society who was involved with the Rosetta mission from the start.

Overall, scientists hope the $1.74 billion mission will help them learn more about the origins of comets, stars, planets and maybe even life on Earth, he said.

Mark McCaughrean, a senior scientific advisor at ESA, predicted plenty of surprises ahead.

“With this comet, every time we see a new image the jaws drop,” he said. “Everybody just can’t believe how lucky we have been.”

Afghanistan National Army soldiers stand guard Tuesday at a gate to Camp Qargha, west of Kabul, Afghanistan. Earlier in the day, a man dressed in an Afghan army uniform opened fire on foreign troops at the military base, killing a U.S. two-star general and wounding others, among them a German brigadier general and a number of Americans troops, authorities said.

Afghan official: General’s killer hid in bathroom KABUL, Afghanistan – The Afghan soldier who killed a U.S. two-star general and wounded 15 other people hid in a bathroom with a NATO assault rifle then opened fire when a group of officers from international forces passed by, an Afghan military official said Wednesday.

As U.S. and Afghan officials investigated the attack Tuesday that killed, Maj. Gen. Harold J. Greene, the highest-ranked U.S. officer to be slain in combat since 1970 in the Vietnam War, authorities reported two other so-called “insider” attacks the same day.

In the deadliest of the attacks, an Afghan police officer killed seven of his colleagues at a checkpoint, then stole their weapons and fled in a police car late Tuesday in the Uruzgan provincial capital of Tirin Kot, provincial spokesman Doost Mohammad Nayab said.

A doctor at a local hospital told the AP it appeared the police officer drugged his colleagues before the shooting. The doctor spoke on condition of anonymity as he wasn’t authorized to release the information. Nayab later denied that the police officers had been drugged and said the officer involved had Taliban connections, without elaborating.

In 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.

Obama, African leaders confront continent’s crises WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama called on African nations Wednesday to forcefully tackle health crises, security challenges and government corruption that could stymie the continent’s economic progress, as he concluded an unprecedented summit.

The summit, aimed in part at cultivating an Obama legacy on a continent where his family ties run deep, also marked a rare return to Washington for former President George W. Bush, who launched a $15 billion HIV/AIDS initiative while in office and has made public health issues in Africa a priority since leaving the White House.

Bush’s institute partnered with first lady Michelle Obama to host a daylong event for spouses of the African leaders.

While Obama has continued Bush’s signature AIDS program, he also has been seeking his own legacy-building Africa initiatives.

This week’s U.S.-Africa summit is seen as a cornerstone of that effort, bringing together leaders from about 50 countries for three days of talks.

A centerpiece of the conference was an effort to recast the U.S. economic relationship with Africa

away from humanitarian aid and toward more equal economic partnerships. Obama announced $33 billion in new U.S. commitments, mostly from the private sector, to boost investment in Africa, home to six of the world’s 10 fastest-growing economies.

Ethical issue: Who gets experimental Ebola drug?

WASHINGTON – The use of an experimental drug to treat two Americans diagnosed with Ebola is raising ethical questions about who gets first access to unproven new therapies for the deadly disease. But some health experts fear debate over extremely limited doses will distract from tried-and-true measures to curb the growing outbreak – things like more rapidly identifying and isolating the sick.

The World Health Organization is convening a meeting of medical ethicists next week to examine what it calls “the responsible thing to do” about whatever supplies eventually may become available of a medicine that’s never been tested in people.

At least one country involved in the outbreak is interested in the drug. Nigeria’s health minister, Onyenbuchi Chukwu, said at a news conference he had asked U.S. health officials about access but authorities said the manufacturer would have to agree.

WASHINGTON – Congress has checked out, and the American people have noticed.

Three-quarters of Americans doubt the federal government will address the important problems facing the country this year, according to a new Associated PressGfK poll.

All told, only 28 percent of Americans think the nation is heading in the right direction, the lowest level in August of an election year since 2008. It’s about on par with 2006, when Democrats took control of the U.S. House amid a backlash to the Iraq war.

This time around, it’s not clear whether either party will benefit from the disaffection.

One-third said they hope the Republicans take control of Congress outright this fall – which the GOP can accomplish with a net gain of six seats in the U.S. Senate while holding the U.S. House. The same share want to see Democrats lead Congress – a far less likely possibility.

The final third? They said it just doesn’t matter who takes control of Congress.

Overall, just 13 percent of Americans approve of the way Congress overall is handling its job.

There are some signs in the new poll that Republicans have gained ground as the height of the campaign approaches. In May, they trailed Democrats a bit on who ought to control Congress. Partisans are about equally likely to say they’d like to see their own in charge of Congress after November 4, with about three-quarters in each party saying they hope their side winds up in control. Democrats are a bit less apt to say they want their own party to win than they were in May, 74 percent in the new poll compared with 80 percent then.

And the GOP now holds narrow advantages over

Democrats on handling an array of top issues, including the economy, immigration and the federal budget.

But neither party is trusted much to manage the federal government, with 27 percent having faith in the GOP to 24 percent in Democrats.

More people, 31 percent, say they trust neither party to run the federal government.

Fewer people have confidence in the federal government’s ability to make progress on the important problems and issues facing the country in 2014 than at the start of the year, with 74 percent saying they have little or no confidence. That’s a slight change from the 70 percent who said so in a December AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey. That shift in confidence stems from a small drop-off among Democrats. While 56 percent lacked confidence in December, 62 percent said the same now.

Overall, few express faith in those currently on Capitol Hill. Just 36 percent said they’d like to see their own member of Congress re-elected, 62 percent said they want someone else to win this November. So far, just three House incumbents have been ousted in primaries this year, and none in the Senate. The Congressional approval rating, 13 percent in the new poll, lags behind President Barack Obama’s 40 percent.

Though the economy pushed the nation’s “right direction” figures to historic lows in the fall of 2008, that does not seem to be the culprit in the new poll. About a third said the economy is in good shape, about the same as in May, and 58 percent said the economy has stayed about the same in the past month.

The decline in optimism about the country’s path in the new poll seems to mirror those in October 2013 and August 2011, when congressional inaction led to the threat of a government shutdown in 2011 and a partial one in 2013.

By MARAM MAZAN and KRISTA LARSON The Associated Press LAGOS, Nigeria – Nigerian authorities rushed to obtain isolation tents Wednesday in anticipation of more Ebola infections as they disclosed five more cases of the virus and a death in Africa’s most populous nation, where officials were racing to keep the gruesome disease confined to a small group of patients.

The five new Nigerian cases were all in Lagos, a megacity of 21 million people in a country already beset with poor health care infrastructure and widespread corruption, and all five were reported to have had di-

rect contact with one infected man.

Meanwhile, the World Health Organization began a meeting to decide whether the crisis, the worst recorded outbreak of its kind, amounts to an international public health emergency. At least 932 deaths in four countries have been blamed on the illness, with 1,711 reported cases.

In recent years, the WHO has declared an emergency only twice, for swine flu in 2009 and polio in May. The declaration would probably come with recommendations on travel and trade restrictions and wider Ebola screening. It also would be an acknowledgment that the situation is critical and

could worsen without a fast global response.

The group did not immediately confirm the new cases reported in Nigeria. And Nigerian authorities did not release any details on the latest infections, except to say they all had come into direct contact with the sick man who arrived by plane in Lagos late last month.

In Sierra Leone, some 750 soldiers deployed to the Ebola-ravaged east as part of “Operation Octopus,” aimed at enforcing quarantines of sick patients. In Spain, the Defense Ministry said a medically equipped plane was ready to fly to Liberia to bring back a Spanish missionary priest who has Ebola.

Volunteers step up in China’s response to earthquake

At the same time, Saudi officials reported a suspected Ebola death, underscoring the risk of the disease spreading by air travel even as many airlines curtail their flights to the most infected cities.

Ebola, which causes some victims to bleed from the eyes, mouth and ears, can only be transmitted through direct contact with the bodily fluids of someone who is sick – blood, semen, saliva, urine, feces or sweat. Millions in Lagos live in cramped conditions without access to flushable toilets.

Signs posted across the city warn people not to urinate in public.

Tensions grow in Ukraine over Russia troop buildup

By YURAS KARMANAU The Associated Press

By CHRISTOPHER BODEEN The Associated Press LONGTOUSHAN, China – Minutes after a deadly earthquake shook western China, disaster teams were on the move.

Within hours, food, tents, and even a 4G cellphone network were in place, showing how a fast-developing China can bring its plentiful experience and enormous resources to bear in handling disasters.

Yet while the military is leading the relief operation – seizing on the opportunity to strut its considerable stuff and show its commitment to the public good – growing numbers of volunteers from among students, social groups and private businesses are a prominent element of the effort, even if they sometimes get underfoot.

“We’re here to help however we can,” said Song Lina, 22, a college student from the western city of Chongqing. She and a dozen friends were making the 3-mile hike up the ruined road to the hard-hit town of Longtoushan.

“We’ll get to the town and go ask the soldiers and rescuers what they need us to do.”

Sunday’s 6.1-magnitude quake that struck in a mountainous part of Yunnan province left 589 dead as of Wednes-

day and brought a massive effort to clear roads and enter isolated mountain communities where people were still feared trapped in collapsed homes. On Wednesday, rescuers pulled a 50-year-old woman out of a pile of rubble, 67 hours after the quake struck. Liao Tengcui had serious head and waist injuries and couldn’t move her left leg, but was conscious, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

More than 2,400 people were injured in the farming region of Ludian county – the country’s deadliest temblor in four years and its biggest test of emergency response under President Xi Jinping.

Villages of bright blue tents for survivors have sprung up in and around Longtoushan, accompanied by pavilions and trucks offering cellphone and Internet service. Others offer to help with insurance claims, banking and medical services.

“It’s not enough anymore to just provide somewhere for these people to sleep and something to eat. People need to maintain communication and all the other details of life to get back on their feet,” said Li Weiping, who was helping staff a tent offering 4G service for a national carrier along Longtoushan’s main street, clogged

with rescue vehicles.

As Li spoke, one of the dozen military helicopters devoted to the relief effort clattered overhead to bring supplies to a field on the edge of town, circumventing the now-congested roads in the county of about 429,000 people.

According to official reports, 10,000 soldiers were dispatched to the rescue, along with dozens of troops from the air force and strategic missile command, presumably because of their facility with satellite communications and remote mapping. They were reinforced by more than 1,000 firefighters and more than 1,300 military and civilian medical personnel. Also dispatched were 31,000 tents, while boxes of bottled water, instant noodles and potato chips practically overflowed onto the streets of Longtoushan, where relief workers have doubled the town’s population.

A novel part of the Yunnan response was the use of drones to map and monitor a quakeformed lake that threatened to flood areas downstream. China has rapidly developed drone use in recent years, and they helped save time and money while providing highly reliable data, said Xu Xiaokun, an engineer with the army reserves.

tic cable, said he was carefully washing his hands to avoid infection. But he said most people were relying on faith to stay healthy.

“They’re not panicking.

They are godly people,” he said.

“They believe they can pray, and maybe very soon there will be cure.”

The revelation of more infections also came amid a public-sector doctors’ strike in Nigeria that began in early July.

So far, health workers monitoring the latest Ebola patients are still on the job.

Nigeria is the fourth West African country to be hit by the Ebola outbreak since it first emerged in March in the remote forests of Guinea.

DONETSK, Ukraine – The steadily advancing Ukrainian army is setting its sights on the largest rebel-held city in eastern Ukraine, while Western officials on Wednesday warned that a Russian military buildup on Ukraine’s border could herald a major incursion to protect the separatists.

President Vladimir Putin has resisted mounting pressure from Russian nationalists to send the army in to back the mutiny in eastern Ukraine.

Even though the U.S. and NATO would be unlikely to respond militarily, the West would be certain to impose major sanctions that would put the shaky Russian econ-

omy on its knees – and could quickly erode Putin’s power.

Russia already is showing signs of economic dismay from sanctions imposed earlier this year, and U.S. President Barack Obama on Wednesday said U.S. sanctions against Russia are straining the country’s economy.

But Putin on Wednesday showed Moscow aims to fight back, calling on government agencies to develop a list of agricultural imports from sanctions-imposing countries that could be banned for up to a year.

The state news agency RIA Novosti later quoted an official from Russia’s plant and veterinary oversight service as saying all U.S. agricultural products would fall under the ban.

ANOTHER VIEW

Highway robbery with short-term fix for road funds Federal legislators have become so adept at kicking the can down the road that they can even do it when that can is the road itself.

Members of the U.S. House of Representatives and the Senate last week “solved” the insolvency problem with portions of the Highway Trust Fund by kicking in enough money to extend its life.

This extension will last a whopping 10 months – yes, not even a full year.

Established in 1956, the Highway Trust Fund has three accounts: the Highway Account, the Mass Transit Account and the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund.

The Congressional Budget Office has issued reports about the likely insolvency of the Highway and Mass Transit accounts, causing panic among federal and state officials over the potential loss of highway construction funds beginning in August.

The Senate approved a $10.8 billion extension by a vote of 81-13, the same bill that senators rejected earlier in the week. This bill included a provision to syphon $1 billion from the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund into the Highway Account.

“The Senate voted Thursday night for a House-passed measure to augment the federal Highway Trust Fund with an infusion of $10.8 billion from the general Treasury — enough to keep the fund solvent through May. The Transportation Department set Friday as the date the fund would no longer be able to provide all the aid promised from incoming gasoline and diesel fuel taxes,” according to a story July 31 by The Associated Press. “The bill now goes to the president.”

Federal taxes of 18.4 cents per gallon on regular gas and 24.4 cents per gallon on diesel fuel provide the revenue for the Highway Trust Fund. But Congress has not increased these taxes since 1993. It has kicked in $55 billion since 2008 to keep it afloat.

The answer is to raise these taxes to ensure a steady stream of revenue. But who wants to raise taxes these days, particularly with an election just around the corner?

Congress also must address the fact that a good portion of these taxes improperly goes toward mass transit programs mainly in large metropolitan regions. So fuel taxes paid by Americans in rural areas are funding New York City’s subway system.

This latest measure does little but to postpone the debate over how to keep this fund alive until next spring.

Then those on Capitol Hill will probably approve another short-term measure, and then another one, and then another one.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Let sacrifice be your safe word Everyone who knew Gershon Burd knew he was “a nice guy.” He would purposely sit by an entrance to his yeshiva study group so that he could smile at people as they walked in – but they really had no idea the depths of his goodness until he died last year, on his 40th birthday, in an accident. Testimonies poured in to his wife of 10 years about how he made lives better – including through the charity he had quietly established to give money away.

By only spending the minimum on yourself, you may find that you have much more than you would ever need.

This was his discovery, and it was how, on a modest income, he gave away so much to so many.

I was introduced to Burd

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez from the new preface to Wendy Shalit’s contemporary classic, “A Return to Modesty.” Her book, first published 15 years ago, incited many a debate – and even outrage – all having to do with sex. So what does Burd, who paid school tuition for poor students and made sure that local children got balloons on their birthdays – all anonymously – have to do with it? About Burd, Shalit writes: “Really, is there anything more extraordinary than a life lived with such sublime modesty?”

She first wrote the book shortly after college, in no

small part as a reaction to the hook-up culture on campus.

Now she sees the bigger picture. Shalit writes: “Today, after being married for 10 years and becoming a mother of three, I have a different perspective on modesty. I now see modesty not just as a part of successful relationships but as part of a large understanding of what makes a life successful. We can’t control what we get in life, so long-term happiness depends largely on how much we train ourselves to get satisfaction from giving.”

Modesty helps us see the big picture – that our lives should be integrated wholes, lived in communion with others. It’s about escaping the

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR STOP IRS FROM ILLEGALLY HARASSING, PUNISHING To the Editor: We must stop the corrupt IRS from illegally harassing and punishing organizations that do not agree with the administration. The IRS admitted to targeting organizations with names that included “Tea Party, patriot, liberty, Christian, etc.”

No liberal organizations had their tax-exempt applications held up, but many conservative organizations are still waiting.

Applications flagged for audit were 100 percent conserva-

tive. The IRS made outrageous demands including membership lists, donor lists, and material sent out.

Lois Lerner, director of Exempt Organizations division testifying before a House committee, invoked the Fifth Amendment.

William Jenkins, IRS chief counsel, said “I don’t recall” 80 times. The committee found the IRS gave conservative groups’ confidential donor lists to their opponents. The American Center for Law and Justice says the IRS gave confidential taxpayer information to the Federal Election

Commission in violation of law.

The IRS in the “Z Street” case admitted it gave special scrutiny to organizations with views that contradicted the administration’s. The IRS admitted and a judge ruled the IRS illegally exposed a National Organization for Marriage donor list and must pay $50,000. The House Ways and Means Committee learned Tea Party donors were audited 10 times the average American and their tax information made public.

The IRS claimed it lost all Lerner emails related to the

targeting. President Obama’s Department of Justice investigation is a farce. Obama said “there is not a smidgen of corruption.” The House passed the “Stop Targeting Political Beliefs by IRS Act of 2014,” but the Democrat Senate did not.

We need an independent special prosecutor or a select committee to investigate the IRS corruption.

The IRS illegal behavior must be stopped so all Americans can have an IRS we can trust no matter who is president.

Tough choices

Losing sight of our inherent dignity, beauty

Making difficult decisions is part of the job for legislators.

If we are to maintain this account as a source of revenue for vital highway projects, they’ll have to bite the bullet and increase the fuel taxes.

If they don’t, they’ll always run into these disagreements leading to last-minute deals.

But there’s going to come a time when one of these disagreements will push beyond the 11h hour, and the fund won’t operate as it’s designed.

Then legislators seeking re-election will return to their districts and have to explain to construction workers why it’s a good thing that they lost their jobs and that our roadways continue to crumble.

tyranny of an isolated something that seems increasingly difficult and outer with each passing year and technology upgrade.

Or we could talk about Jell-O. That’s the BDSM “safe word” a Planned Parenthood worker shares with a minor trying to keep sex from being “boring,” as seen in a video from Live Action, a group that uncovers what’s going on inside abortion clinics in the United States.

“Man hungers for beauty,” Dana Gioia, a poet who has served as chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts, said in a speech at the Napa Institute. “There is a void.”

That void can be seen when the best advice an adult can think to give a child is a “safe word.” Why would we ever encourage the young to settle for something so demeaning? It’s not the whips in a culture where “50

Shades of Grey” is a “love story” that are the problem, but the chains of such low expectations.

We let ourselves fall victim to lame substitutes for love and happiness when, if we’d just move away from the screens, we might just discover the real thing. We become blind and deaf, dismissive of the simple beauty and sincere truth that is all around us. We become indifferent to the alternatives and angry at the challenges.

We surrender our freedom, even as we talk about self-liberation.

In Shalit’s book, she recounts a father confessing that he didn’t want to interfere with his twin daughters’ “budding sexuality” by stepping in when they were wearing inappropriate clothes, a mother refusing to get her daughter to brush her hair for fear of treading on the girls’ dominion, and a teenager ending her life after explicit photos of her became public.

These are all poison fruits of a culture that has lost sight of its greatest

treasure: the human person and its inherent dignity and beauty.

Gershon Burd made a choice to sacrifice for others, including people he never met and didn’t know. He knew he had something he could give that would better the lives of others in both small and dramatic ways. By doing so, he demonstrated the power of gratitude and generosity. He could have done otherwise, but there is something quite right about what he did. What his life proposes might be exactly what we most desire. “(T)o me, the biggest virtue of modesty is the way it enables us to be our best selves in private,” Shalit writes. Burd’s life offers us a beautiful portrait of freedom, of stewardship of the gifts we have been given.

Our modest imitation might just fill that void.

Quigley, Sky shooting for playoffs VIEWS Dick Goss Before the Chicago Sky’s 82-66 WNBA victory Tuesday at Connecticut, guard Allie Quigley described her approach this way: “When I’m in the game, I want to do something to make us win. I try to be aggressive and make something happen.”

Whether that means scoring, distributing the ball, making a big play on the defensive end or grabbing a key rebound, it matters not.

“If we win, it feels good at the end,” she said.

The Joliet native’s contributions Tuesday came from scoring and defense. She hit 7-of-10 shots, including 1-of-2 from 3-point range, and 2-of-2 free throws for 17 points. She also had three of the Sky’s four steals and finished with a team-best plus/minus of 24. That means while she was on the floor, the Sky outscored the Sun by 24 points.

Yes, it’s crunch time in the WNBA season, and the Sky is in a position where victories are a must. The top four teams in the East will qualify for the playoffs. Atlanta leads the conference with a 17-11 record. Washington is 14-15, the Sky and Indiana 13-16, and New York 12-16. Each team plays 34 games. The season concludes Aug. 17.

“This is the most important time now,” said Quigley, the former Joliet Catholic All-American who also starred at DePaul and for years has been a standout in European professional leagues. “It’s time to get our focus up. We have to show that we learned from the mistakes we have made.

“The teams in the East are playing each other a lot the rest of the season.

Somebody has to lose those games. So if we win all or most of our games, we should get in the playoffs.”

When healthy, the Sky – which visits Western power Minnesota on Thursday night – ranks among the WNBA’s best. The problem this season largely resulted from injuries and personal issues.

Elena Della Donne, the 2013 WNBA Rookie of the Year, is just getting back from a battle with Lyme disease.

She has played in 12 of the team’s 29 games.

This is Quigley’s second season with the Sky. She said she “wanted to make a bigger impact this year, and it has happened so far.”

How she finally assesses this season, however, is to be determined. Will she do something to help the Sky win the last handful of games and make the playoffs? If so, will she then help them get through the East and into the WNBA Finals?

That’s the way Quigley plays basketball. Whatever it takes to help her team win. Disregard personal stats. If victory is not the end result, it leaves a sour taste.

Columbus, a .298 hitter and the table-setter at the top of the Dirtbags’ lineup, sees his role on any team he plays for as that of a leader. Coaching kids is a natural progression.

“This is my second year coaching St. Ray’s,” he said. “I love working with little kids.

It’s great to see the smile on their faces when they do something good.”

Columbus will graduate next spring with a degree in sports management. “I don’t know what I want to do for sure, but I do look forward to coaching other people,” he said.

Rest assured, he will be doing to his best to ignite his teammates this weekend as the Dirtbags attempt to defend their regional title.

Among the local pitchers who should get work this weekend are Ryan Quigley

In addition to Quigley, Casey Papp (Providence, Joliet Junior College), Polak, Hayes and Softcheck all were or are in the Saint Xavier program.

Vachon also pitched there.

“Bryan Polak, Tommy Hayes and Austin Mastela right now are leading us offensively,” Campbell said.

“Mastela had a slow start this summer, and now he’s really picked it up. He did the same thing last year.

“Having Kyle [Cunningham] back in the lineup [he has missed three weeks with a hamstring injury] will help us a lot. Rick Faron has stepped it up, and Casey Papp is another guy who can turn it on.”

With quality teams such as Beecher and Michigan City in the regional, nothing will come easy. But with the abundance of local talent Campbell has assembled, the Dirtbags are always a threat.

• Thursday, August 7, 2014

JOLIET – Kevin Campbell is an assistant baseball coach at his alma mater, Joliet Catholic. He was in the dugout and coaching third base throughout the Hilltoppers’ run to the summer state championship.

He is head coach at St. Raymond Grade School, which boasts a strong tradition built largely from players who enjoyed success in the summer youth program at St. Joseph Park. He said this year’s seventh-grade class at St. Ray’s is especially strong.

In Campbell’s “spare time,” he coaches the Joliet Dirtbags summer team in the Chicago Suburban Baseball League.

The roster consists largely of current college players, although some have exhausted their college eligibility.

This is Campbell’s third season with the Dirtbags, and his emphasis from the start has been to build a team locally that can compete for a national championship.

The Dirtbags begin the process of attempting to do just that when they open Thursday in the six-team, double-elimination NABF Regional at Kankakee Community College.

The regional winner will advance to the NABF World Series next week at Battle Creek, Michigan.

The Dirtbags finished the regular season 12-13, after getting off to a hot start. But two key pitchers, Scott Vachon (Plainfield North) and Nick Davito (Lockport), were picked up by teams in other leagues, and injuries took a toll.

Still, the emphasis remains local. Pitcher Jake Herron (Joliet West, John A. Logan College) and outfielder Cody Columbus (JCA, St. Francis) have been assistant coaches for Campbell at St. Ray’s, and he loves having them play for his

D.J. Williams returns to team with ‘a lot to prove’

By MATTHEW PARAS mparas@shawmedia.com BOURBONNAIS – By now, the rehabilitation process has become boring to D.J. Williams.

That’s how the 11-year veteran linebacker described his latest stint trying to rehab a ruptured left pectoral muscle that ended his season after only six games last season. Williams, 32, has dealt with a handful of injuries throughout his career, having missed games because of injury in three separate seasons.

Even in his first year as a Bear, Williams, who spent nine seasons with the Denver Broncos, dealt with a nagging calf injury throughout July and August last year. In addition to that, he caught bronchitis in Week 5 against the Saints before ultimately rupturing his pectoral muscle toward the end of the third quarter against the Giants in Week 6.

I know I have a lot to prove to a lot of people, especially climbing up in age at 32,” Williams said. “But I’m in the greatest shape I’ve been in a long time.”

Williams said being in great shape involved returning to his rookie weight,

which was 250 pounds out of the University of Miami.

Williams also will play at middle linebacker, a position he was brought in for last season and again when he re-signed to a one-year deal. Williams, who has played every linebacker position, said he loves playing the middle.

“I don’t want to say our defense is simple, but it highlights what I do pretty well,” Williams said. “It allows me to run sideline to sideline and play defense inside out. We play Cover 2 a lot where guys are breaking and making plays.”

Williams enjoyed success in his limited time in 2013.

He had two sacks, which still was the second most for the Bears’ linebackers despite missing 10 games.

However, not only is Williams out to redeem himself, he also added the defense is out to make up for the disastrous year it had as a group.

The defense ranked 30th in total yards allowed and dead last in rushing yards.

Williams said the team is eager to get start tackling opponents. The Bears’ first preseason game is Friday against the Philadelphia Eagles at Soldier Field.

“Playing one of the op-

ponents that I say personally embarrassed us last season, we’re eager to see how far we’ve come and still see what we have to do,” Williams said. “I want to shut them out. That’s how you approach every game, whether its preseason, regular season or practice.

“I just want to see everybody beat their guy and get to the ball, be energetic and follow the plan,” he said.

Williams also has to prove himself to his coaches. Coach Marc Trestman has stressed that competition has been the theme of training camp and Williams is in one that could be considered the closest.

When the preseason depth chart was released, Williams and second-year linebacker Jon Bostic were listed as co-starters for the middle linebacker spot. In camp, Bostic has been the starting nickel linebacker, with Williams taking the first-team reps with the base defense.

“It kind of reminds me of me and (former All-Pro Broncos linebacker) Al Wilson when I first came in the league,” he said. “It’s a competition and I want to play as many reps as possible, and know that he does as well.”

BOURBONNAIS – Depth on the NFL’s No. 2 scoring offense was a question mark heading into training camp, and it has been tested much earlier than the Bears hoped after receiver Marquess Wilson’s injury and tight end Martellus Bennett’s suspension.

Fortunately for the Bears, Pro Bowl running back Matt Forte is healthy and having a terrific camp. Yet, similarly to the No. 3 receiver position and backup tight end, competition remains wide open behind Forte.

The Bears’ first unofficial depth chart has veteran Shaun Draughn behind Forte, followed

by Michael Ford, Ka’Deem Carey and Senorise Perry.

The key word is “unofficial.”

“I actually didn’t even know [the depth chart] came out; someone had to send it to me,” said Draughn, stressing it’s too early to read into anything. “It’s just a place where you could be. ... It looks good. If that’s what it is, I’m going to work hard to try and keep it.”

Draughn’s experience is an asset; he is the only back other than Forte to have carried the ball in an NFL game. His pass blocking in camp, albeit a very small sample size, also appears to be a commodity the younger players in the running back room don’t yet possess. After reiterating it’s premature to make much of Draughn’s No. 2 standing, coach Marc Trestman said the veteran’s experience has stood out.

“I think that he’s been consistent throughout the course of camp,” Trestman said. “He’s a veteran. He understands the game. He’s played in systems similar to ours. I think that helps him. And he’s been very effective in the mental part of his game and learning his assignments.”

Carey, a fourth-round rookie,

has shown an ability to quickly get downhill in camp, as advertised, but like the rest of the competitors, he will be measured largely on his preseason performance. Carey said recently he continues to make progress in Bourbonnais.

“I’m really starting to get comfortable,” he said. “I feel like I’ve made a couple plays, getting more familiar, just starting to get into the fun part of it. [The learning curve] messes up your mind early, which isn’t fun, but now I’m starting to learn the plays and things are coming more naturally.”

Michael Ford, the lone returning backup, didn’t seem as pleased with his training camp after Wednesday’s light practice, but he’s no stranger to revving it up in the preseason. A 100-yard kickoff return and pair of rushing TDs last preseason helped the 2013 undrafted rookie earn a roster spot.

“Honestly, I don’t really like the camp I’m having right now,” Ford said. “But if you’re not one of those locked-in guys, I think the preseason is the bread winner for you.”

Senorise Perry is the biggest dark horse in the competition aside from Jordan Lynch, who didn’t crack the first depth chart. Perry has had issues with ball security in Bourbonnais, but his sub-4.4 40-yard dash and 37-inch vertical shouldn’t be discounted.

“Just have to recuperate, get it back together and just go on to the next play,” said Perry last week after his first camp fumble.

“That’s what the coaches want – for us to be mentally strong.

I just have to keep performing well on special teams and find a way each and every day to better myself and better the team.”

The Bears expect to have a better contingency plan behind Matt Forte this season. The team soon will have a clearer idea of what that contingency plan looks like.

In Cubs debut, Baez hits winning homer

The Associated Press CHICAGO –There aren’t many hitters who can claim to have Chris Sale’s number.

But Texas’ Adam Rosales, an unlikely candidate with a .222 career batting average entering Wednesday, is one of them.

Rosales tagged Sale for one of his two home runs, leading the Rangers to a 3-1 win and sending the White Sox to their fourth loss in five games.

“Everyone’s got their guy, I guess,” said Sale (10-2).

“Good thing I don’t have to face him more than a couple times a year.”

Rosales hit a two-run shot in the second, giving himself six hits with three homers, in 11 career at-bats against Sale, a three-time All-Star.

Rosales added a solo shot in the seventh for the first

multihomer game of his career.

“Sale is a great pitcher,” Rosales said. “I’ve just been fortunate in the few at-bats I’ve had against him.”

White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton left the game with a sore lower back after running full-speed into the right-center field fence trying to catch Rosales’ first homer.

X-rays were negative and he is considered day-to-day.

“I’ve never done that before.

Little embarrassed,” he said.

Nick Tepesch (4-7) gave up six hits in 52⁄ 3 scoreless innings. He had lost four straight decisions, and skipped a turn because of a sore left knee.

Tepesch sailed through five innings before leaving with runners on second and third and two outs in the sixth.

Roman Mendez replaced him and got home run leader Jose Abreu to ground out.

DENVER – Javier Baez made his major league debut a memorable one for himself and his family.

Baez led off the 12th inning with a towering home run and the Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies, 6-5, Tuesday night.

Wellington Castillo also homered for the Cubs, who have won four of five.

Baez, a prized prospect called up before the game, played his first game in the big leagues with his family sitting behind home plate.

He struck out in three of his first five at-bats before hitting Boone Logan’s first pitch of the 12th an estimated 414 feet into the Rockies’ bullpen.

“I faced him before and he threw me all curveballs,” Baez said. “He’s got a good curveball, so I wasn’t sitting on the curveball – I was trying to hit a fastball.”

When he crossed home plate, he pointed to his personal fan club and went back to the dugout, where he was greeted with cheers.

“Everybody was going crazy,” he said.

Baez – who went 0-4 in Wednesday night’s game – nearly had his first hit in the seventh when he a drove a ball hard to right field, but it was caught to end the inning. He didn’t miss when he got a fastball in the 12th.

“He had a few strike-

outs, but it wasn’t for anxiousness,” Chicago manager Rick Renteria said. “He didn’t seem anxious at all.

He got the first pitch he can hit and drove it.”

Hector Rondon (3-3) blew his fourth save but got the win, and Carlos Villanueva picked up his second save.

Both teams scored a run in the 11th to extend the game.

Nolan Arenado homered and Logan (2-2) took the loss for the Rockies, who have dropped five straight.

Rockies starter Brett Anderson allowed just one hit through three innings but left after one pitch in the fourth due to back spasms.

“His back locked up, and it doesn’t look too good now,” Rockies manager Walt Weiss said.

Franklin Morales came on and threw two scoreless innings before Castillo led off the sixth with his eighth home run of the season to cut Colorado’s lead to 3-1.

The shaky Colorado bullpen faltered in the seventh.

Three relievers combined to walk six batters in the inning, three of which scored to give the Cubs a 4-3 lead.

The Cubs drew nine walks and only had six hits.

Arenado tied it in the bottom of the seventh with his 10th home run of the season.

The Rockies took a 2-0 lead in the second on Brandon Barnes’ two-run double over the bag at third base.

With Christ, he did all things Longtime Joliet pastor preparing to retire from active ministry If you go

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Oh, you’re crazy!

The Rev. Lishers Mahone Jr. said that was his reaction, at age 19, when a pastor had suggested he might have a calling to the ministry, as opposed to simply singing in the church choir.

But as time passed, Mahone found his spiritual inclinations growing stronger and admitted his pastor was right.

On Oct. 5, Mahone will retire from active ministry.

Mahone has been pastor of Brown AME Church, the second-oldest church in Will County, he said, since 1981.

During that time, Mahone initiated many holistic, educational and outreach programs at the church and in the community.

“My philosophy is, ‘With Christ, I can do all things,’ ” Mahone said.

Cheryl McCarthy, superintendent of Joliet Township High School District 204, said Mahone was one of the first members of the Joliet Region Interfaith Education Council when the district established it in 2009.

Not only has Mahone never missed a meeting, McCarthy said, his quiet, reflective wisdom and insight are an invaluable part of the council.

She’s glad that, despite his retirement, Mahone will continue serving the council.

“He takes an active interest in the youth and the community,” Mahone said. “I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone quite like him.”

After receiving theological training from Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, Mahone served as pastor at Turner Memorial AME Church in Chicago for 12 years before coming to Joliet. At the time, Brown Chapel had a small but faithful congregation, along with some financial

difficulties that needed to be addressed, he said.

“Through meeting and talking with people that gave us insight, we realized we needed to get some financing through lending institutions,” Mahone said. “Then we raised a lot of funds to pay off the debt.”

Mahone also talked to his people to learn what issues concerned them and what types of activities the church should provide. That led to

developing a variety of programming – recreational and health – so the church could care for the physical aspects of its members, as well as the spiritual ones, he said.

“As we dealt with the smaller items, people felt confident in sharing with us other needs,” Mahone said.

Eventually, Mahone extended his interest to the greater Joliet community, too, especially in the areas of AIDS ministry and the education of

young people. In 2003, Mahone accepted an invitation from the Joliet chapter of the National Hook-Up of Black Women to lead their AIDS outreach efforts.

From there, Mahone said he began the nonprofit Churches United in the Fight Against AIDS, which became the educational component of the Regional Care Association Joliet. This is a nonprofit agency that has served local people with HIV/AIDS since 1996, according to its website, regionalcare.org.

“Regional Care was the medical arm,” Mahone said.

“They had all the resources to come out to events and test people. We provided literature and spoke from the pulpit.”

Dr. Pat Langehennig, executive and medical director for Regional Care, said Mahone assumed that leadership at a time when many people did not want to be associated with HIV. His willingness to grow and learn – as well as his messages from the pulpit – helped

to reduce prejudice toward people who did test positive.

He was also instrumental in educating the black community about the risks.

“I was just tremendously impressed,” Langehennig said.

Fortunately, Mahone said, HIV/AIDS was not a disease that personally touched members at Brown Chapel. Still, he knew it should be addressed.

From 2006 to 2012, Mahone also served on the governing council of the Will County Community Health Center, including two years as the council’s chair.

Although Churches United in the Fight Against AIDS is inactive, Mahone said he still directs people to Regional Care Association.

Mahone also will continue his involvement with JRIEC, because he feels education is the key that will open up better doors for Joliet’s youth.

“I am concerned about young people, and I have concluded that they are missing something – the knowledge they don’t have,” Mahone said. “I believe that if people know better, they’ll do better.”

Although Mahone will retain his membership at Brown Chapel, he plans to spend time visiting other churches to allow a smooth transition to the new pastor. He is also looking forward to more gardening at home and fishing at the Dresden cooling lake in Morris.

“I’ll tend to the lawn, the flowers, things like that,” Mahone said. He admitted being a very laid-back fisherman.

“If the fish come by, I’ll catch them. If not, I just relax.”

“When I went over to take a photo, a lady on a hike walked up, borrowed a book and said, ‘I’ll bring one back to replace it,’” Teeter said.

“When I went back to restock it with more books, I noticed that some of them had been removed.”

The church board readily approved the idea, Teeter

said, but then, many of the church members are “book gurus.” Another church member and woodworker, John Sternickle, built the library, and high school students helped him install it, Teeter said.

Church members donated the first supply of books, and there’s more in the church ready to go, Teeter said. The church’s Little Free Library is part of the official database at littlefreelibrary.org, too, so anyone visiting the site can find the Joliet location, he added.

Mostly, though, Teeter just wants the community to feel free to use and enjoy the library.

“There’s no three-week notice on returning the book,” Teeter said. “And if by some fluke you don’t return the book, that’s OK, too.”

JOLIET – What is that little wood house on Jefferson Street near Houbolt Avenue?

It’s a “Little Free Library,” part of a group of similar libraries associated with littlefreelibrary.org and a community outreach project of the Universalist Unitarian Church of Joliet, 3401 W. Jefferson St., Joliet.

“It’s a way for the community to share its favorite stories with other readers,” said Chuck Teeter of Shorewood, a member of the church’s board of trustees.

Here’s how it works, Teeter said. Anyone may borrow or keep a book, as well as return and donate books. No one monitors it because the library works on the honor system.

The hope, he added, is that people will add as many books as they take, making the library an ever-renewing project.

“It’s really easy to access,” Teeter said. “It’s on the southern corner of the church building. Anyone going up and down Jefferson Street can just pull in.”

So far, Teeter said, the library’s three shelves contain about 70 books of adult fiction and nonfiction along with children’s titles, although the exact amount and categories of books will depend on what the community donates and returns.

“You never know what’s going to be in it,” Teeter said.

“We’ve got paperbacks, hardcovers. The ‘Harry Potter’ books took up a lot of room, but someone has already taken most of those.”

Teeter said he and his wife Peggy had read about the project, which was started in 2009 by a Wisconsin man paying tribute to his mother and her love of reading. The concept interested both Teeter and his wife because they are former teachers who also love – and love to encourage – reading.

He said his family briefly

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Which useful card does partner hold?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Michelangelo said, “The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark.”

At the bridge table, though, sometimes you must decide between setting your sights high or low. How does that apply to this deal? South is in three no-trump and West leads a fourth-highest spade six. What happens after that?

South starts with seven top tricks: one spade (given the first trick), three hearts, two diamonds and one club. He hopes that the club finesse is working. But even if it loses, West might not find the right defense.

South takes East’s spade jack with his king, leads a heart to dummy’s king, and runs the club 10. It loses, but West is now in a quandary. Who has the spade queen? East would have played the jack at trick one with either only the jack or the queen-jack. And South would have won with his king, whether or not he also had the queen.

If South still has the spade queen and another spade, West needs to shift to a diamond in the hope that his partner can win with the ace and return a spade through South. But if East has the spade queen, that suit can be run now.

Should West play his partner for a queen or an ace?

Do not be greedy; set your sights low. West should cash the spade ace. Perhaps South started with king-queen-doubleton. Here, though, East should throw (unblock) his queen under partner’s ace. By applying the Rule of Eleven at trick one (11 - 6 = 5), East should know that South started with only one spade higher than the six, the king he has already played.

ADVICE

Dear Abby: I just finished reading the letter from “Pressured” (April 23), the wife whose husband keeps track of how often he and his wife have had sex and his determination to have sex 100 times per year. She was wondering if this is normal.

I can tell her that my former husband thought we should have sex five times a week. He kept a calendar of when we had sex that also included who initiated it. I explained to him that I was more than willing to have frequent sex, but that he also had to be an attentive, caring husband.

Our marriage counselor believed he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and was probably a diagnosable narcissist. Surprise, surprise! He pronounced our marriage counselor to be inept and divorced me.

“Pressured” says she has a good marriage, so I assume that

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips means she has a caring husband.

I would advise her to do her best to enthusiastically and creatively meet his needs. – The Ex-Mrs. Dear Ex: Thank you for writing.

Here are responses I received from my readers about that letter. Read on: Dear Abby: Most guys may keep track of how often they’re having sex, although more likely it’s how long since the last time, or maybe how many times a week.

We guys will take it any way, any how, anytime. For us, it’s all good, all the time. – Dan In Irving, Texas Dear Abby: Unfortunately, my husband also likes to keep a running tab of our sexual frequency.

I saw a movie years ago in

which a couple saw the same therapist and one tells the counselor, “We NEVER have sex! We only do it three times a week.” While the other says, “We have sex ALL THE TIME! We do it three times a week!”

We must consider the other person and his or her needs, whether they’re emotional, sexual or physical. – Denise In Michigan Dear Abby: For most men, sex is just a little less important than breathing and eating as essential to our existence. Men are getting fed up with being deprived. I have often considered extramarital sexual pursuits, and I feel I’d be justified in doing so. Men have needs, and should have a right to share intimate relations with their wives. If not, we should be given the green light to fulfill our needs elsewhere. – James In Kentucky • Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com.

Reduce blood-pressure medication though lifestyle changes Dear Doctor K: Is it possible to get off blood pressure-lowering medication through diet and exercise?

Dear Reader: Yes, it is. I’ve seen many patients commit to lifestyle changes and get off blood-pressure medicines entirely. More often, I’ve seen that a commitment to a healthier lifestyle allows people to greatly reduce how much medication they take, even though they still need some medicines to control their blood pressure.

While many people, myself included, would like to not have to take medicines at all, being able to reduce the dose is a big deal. Many of the side effects of medicines are reduced or eliminated by reducing the dose.

Regular exercise is one of the best ways to reduce high blood pressure. Still, it’s important to talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program. If you are taking certain blood pressure medications, you may have to take extra precautions when you exercise. For example, thiazide diuretics slightly lower blood volume, so you may be more prone to dehydration with exercise.

Aerobic exercise, which boosts your heart rate and breathing, is best for lowering blood pressure.

Aim to do 30 minutes or more of moderate-intensity activity on

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff most days of the week. Brisk walking, jogging and swimming are all good activities. Try to work up to 60 minutes a day.

Some resistance training is fine, but don’t strain. Do more repetitions at lighter weights to prevent temporary blood pressure spikes.

Many of my patients have started exercise programs to lose weight. But if they didn’t lose weight, they stopped the exercise.

They thought the only value in exercise was losing weight. They didn’t realize that exercise produces enormous health benefits -- with or without weight loss.

Regular exercise lowers a person’s risk of heart disease and stroke, diabetes and many common types of cancer.

Good nutrition can also help lower blood pressure. A blood pressure-friendly diet includes plenty of fruits, vegetables and whole grains; several servings daily of low-fat dairy products; some fish, poultry, dried beans, nuts and seeds; and minimal red meat, sweets and sugary bever-

ages. Limit your salt intake to no more than 2,300 milligrams (mg) of sodium a day. (On my website, AskDoctorK.com, I’ve put a table listing lower-sodium alternatives in common food categories.)

You should also aim to: • Attain and maintain a healthy weight. Exercise alone can help drop your blood pressure, and so can weight loss alone, by reducing your calories. But the combination of regular exercise and weight loss is more powerful than either alone.

• Limit alcohol. No more than one drink a day for a woman and no more than two drinks a day for a man.

• Stress less. Relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing and yoga can help relieve stress.

Lifestyle changes can have a powerful beneficial effect in lowering your blood pressure and the risk of diseases worsened by high blood pressure – particularly heart disease and stroke. This is not sanctimonious preaching: It’s solid science.

Dr. Wallace: I wrote to you and was thrilled that you took the time to answer personally. I was the one who was having problems learning biology. I followed your instructions and had an after-school meeting with my counselor, my mother and the teacher.

I’m happy to report that I wound up with a B for the semester.

My father gave me $25 as a reward for bringing up my grade from a C- to a B. I’d like to donate the money to your favorite charity in your honor. If you don’t agree, I’ll buy $25 worth of chocolate and eat it all! – Maria, San Antonio, Texas Dear Maria: You made me an offer I can’t refuse.

Please donate the money to an animal shelter in San Antonio. Animal shelters go above and beyond the call of duty to help homeless and unwanted pets, and they do everything possible to see that they find homes where they will be wanted and loved.

Also, if you don’t have a pet, take a tour of the shelter and consider giving one a happy home!

Dr. Wallace: I have a problem. Actually, it’s my mother who has the problem, but it is affecting me. My mother likes to rule and dominate other people’s lives.

First she dominated my father, and eventually they got divorced.

Then she dominated my stepfather’s life, and now they are legally separated. Now it seems that I’m next on the pecking order. I’m 17 and will soon be a high school senior, and my mom has chosen to run my life – into the ground. She just doesn’t want me to have fun times with my friends.

My weekday curfew is 9 p.m. and on Friday

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace and Saturday night, it’s midnight. I’m not a child. In six months I’ll be an 18-year-old adult.

Can my mother hold me to these unacceptable curfews once I reach age 18? – Nameless, Davenport, Iowa.

Dear Nameless: Your curfew is more than reasonable. As long as you live at home, honor your curfew. Whether you can or cannot break your curfew when you turn 18 is insignificant.

Your present curfew is fair! Leave home to start college on good terms with your mother. The two of you need each other!

Dr. Wallace: I’m a 13-year-old boy and live alone with my mother.

Every evening I take a bath before I go to bed.

Sometimes when I’m in the tub my mother will come in and bring me a towel or pick up my dirty clothes. Once in a while she will sit down and ask me how my day went. Mom works hard and works different hours, and sometimes this is the only time we have a chance to talk.

My grandmother said that I need my privacy and should tell my mom to get out and to shut the door. She thinks that we have a problem.

Do we? – Nameless, DeKalb

Dear Nameless: Grandmothers are right most of the time – but not this time. The only problem I see is that grandmother is talking instead of minding her own business.

“Deepsea Challenge 3D” documents James Cameron’s 2012 expedition to the deepest point in all of Earth’s oceans.

‘Deepsea Challenge 3D’: Cameron goes back to abyss

By MICHAEL O’SULLIVAN The Washington Post I’m not sure whether the target audience for James Cameron’s “Deepsea Challenge 3D” is aficionados of undersea adventure or aficionados of James Cameron. The movie, which documents the filmmaker’s 2012 expedition – in his own personal submarine – to the deepest point in all of Earth’s oceans, features less 3-D footage of sea cucumbers and exotic octopi than of Cameron’s nose. It’s a movie about exploring the vast, “dark continent” of the ocean’s deepest places (to quote Cameron, who produced and narrates the film) that ends up feeling claustrophobic. Much of it was shot inside a metal sphere the size of a fitness ball.

That’s because that is where Cameron is for much of the movie. He paid for the submersible, christened the Deepsea Challenger, so of course he gets to ride it to the bottom of the Pacific’s Mariana Trench. He also gets to take all the risk.

At nearly 36,000 feet below sea level, the trench is the deepest known point on the planet, and it hadn’t been visited by a manned vehicle since 1960, when Jacques Piccard and Don Walsh piloted the bathyscaphe Trieste to the spot

known as Challenger Deep. The trip is very dangerous, but, admittedly, also pretty exciting.

The “Titanic” director is well known for his underwater exploits, both on screen and off, having visited (and documented) the site of the Titanic more than 30 times and having made the deep-sea thriller “The Abyss” in 1989. Along with footage of those projects, the movie features a dramatized prologue showing a young version of the filmmaker playing, as a boy, in a cardboard box that he imagines to be a submarine.

Despite the personal nature of those scenes, the movie makes it clear that Cameron’s interest in financing a voyage to the bottom of the sea is more than egotism. Scientific advancement is the true goal, in the form of knowledge about how tsunamis are formed and in the discovery of new species of deep-sea life forms.

Yet the film pays scant attention to this stated goal, relegating the discoveries achieved by Cameron’s mission to a brief on-screen title at the very end of the film. Even a scene in which Cameron is shown collecting sediment and rock samples seems perfunctory, as though the work is secondary to how cool it is to be floating around a few miles underwater, manipulating a couple of 3-D cameras on

robotic arms with joysticks.

Speaking of which, those robotic arms give out at one point, having sprung leaks in their hydraulic conduits. Why did this happen? And why was it not anticipated? And what is that scary cracking sound that we hear during one of Cameron’s early practice dives, that sounds like the filmmaker, to use his own words, is about to get “chummed into a meatcloud in about two microseconds” by an implosion of the hull?

The movie doesn’t tell us. It also isn’t clear whether the deaths of the film’s co-director, Andrew Wight, and cameraman Michael deGruy, who were killed in a 2012 helicopter crash, were directly related to the filmmaking or incidental.

Cameron seems certain, however, that Wight and deGruy “would have wanted” him to continue.

Maybe they would have. What is certain is that, even after that tragedy, Cameron has a movie – and a message – to deliver: His heart, if nothing else, will go on.

• “Deepsea Challenge 3D” received two out of four stars. The film is rated PG, containing some crude language and brief disaster images. It runs 90 minutes.
