Joliet police discuss recent burglaries

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Officer Dave Jackson held up a photograph of what looked like a nice, young man as he talked to a crowd of some 100 people about how to recognize the average burglar.

“He looks just like an average kid,” Jackson said.

The 18-year-old in the photograph was one of several youths arrested this summer for a rash of burglaries happening in West Side neighborhoods. He is believed to have committed nine car and house burglaries, some at night while people were home.

“There’s no such race, height and shape of burglars,” Jackson said, looking around at the eight other police officers in the room. “They come in all shapes and sizes – just like us cops. They don’t have

a tattoo on the their heads saying, ‘I’m a burglar.’”

Jackson was one of several officers speaking at the Joliet Public Library Black Road branch on Thursday evening to people from the West Side neighborhoods hit by the burglaries.

“Just scared,” one woman said, who declined to give her name, in describing her feelings about the burglaries.

“There’s been enough stuff going on in our neighborhood.”

She also said the meeting was helpful.

Police said there have been no burglaries in the Twin Oaks and Burr Oaks neighborhoods since a key arrest of a 17-yearold juvenile on July 4.

That same juvenile was released from jail and arrested again this week.

“We picked him up on Aug. 3 with burglary tools on him,” Deputy Chief Ed Gregory said.

“He was getting ready to do another burglary.”

Officer James Kilgore with the Joliet Police Department Tactical Unit described some of the tactics taken in pursuit of the West Side burglars. Police were out in the neighborhoods between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m., Kilgore said.

“We were on our bikes. We were walking around,” he said.

“I know we got a few calls that someone’s behind my house at the creek. That was us.”

Kilgore described the juvenile arrested again Monday as “a terror to our Twin Oaks neighborhood.” But, he said, the juvenile was a 7th-grade drop-out whose main objective was to steal car keys and cars so he could go for joy rides and impress friends.

Councilman John Gerl, who organized the meeting, said citizens’ calls to the police department have helped stem

Digity announces sale of Jolietarea stations, including WJOL

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Four radio stations in the Joliet area will be sold to a new owner for the second time in two years.

The radio group includes WJOL 1340 AM, the primary local news and sports radio station in the Joliet area and a station celebrating its 90th anniversary this year. Other stations in the group include WCCQ 98.3 FM, WSSR-FM Star 96.7 and WRXQ-FM Rock 100.7.

The local radio group is part of Digity LLC, which is selling all 116 of its radio stations to Alpha Media, based in Portland, Oregon.

Palm Beach, Florida-based Digity took over the local radio group in early 2014 after buying it from NextMedia Group. The Joliet group was among 33 stations sold by Next Media at the time.

The sale is subject to approval by the Federal Communications Commission and the Department of Justice.

Local managers for Digity could not be reached for comment Thursday.

A news release announcing the sale Wednesday did not mention specific plans for the stations being acquired by Alpha Media in 26 markets.

One local radio industry observer said the sale reflects consolidation trends in radio and other media.

“I think it’s a reflection of the industry in general,” said Jim Murphy, whose previous radio career includes stints at WJOL and WCCQ before he and his wife started J.V. Murphy & Associates, an advertising and public relations company based in Joliet.

“Media consolidation is happening every day,” Murphy said. “It seems to be increasing, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.”

When all pending deals are complete, Alpha Media will own 251 stations.

Murphy said stiff competition is forcing radio companies to get larger. But he also expressed hope that Al-

pha Media will keep the local news, sports and commentary that distinguish WJOL in the Joliet market.

The station has local programs weekday mornings and late afternoons, although it does use syndicated programming at other times in the day. WJOL also is the major broadcast outlet for high school sports in the area.

Alpha Media’s only Illinois stations before the acquisition are a group of six stations in the Peoria area, including local news station WMBD-AM. The company has been one of the most active buyers of radio stations this year, according to published reports about the sale.

On its website, Alpha Media emphasizes a commitment to local radio.

“We are a radio family focused on our local autonomy and connection to the community to deliver the most compelling live and local content,” the company said in its vision statement.

the burglaries.

“Never be afraid to make that call,” Gerl said. “Usually, your instincts are correct.”

Sgt. John Stefanski added that if a citizen is calling about suspicious behavior while it’s happening, the call should be made to 911 rather than the non-emergency police number.

“That gets to us as quick as you can,” he said.

Jackson also said it helps to describe the suspicious behavior when you call. And, he repeated, don’t be fooled by appearances: “You just don’t know what a burglar is going to look like.”

Warren Sharpe Community Center’s children to see First Lady’s garden

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Word got around Joliet’s South Side pretty quickly last week after the Warren Sharpe Community Center’s Kay Bolden received a letter from the White House inviting the center to Washington, D.C., for a tour of first lady Michelle Obama’s Kitchen Garden.

But as Thursday’s formal announcement arrived, the excitement remained in full force as children eagerly harvested kale, jalapenos and other vegetables from the community garden they grew during the summer.

None of the children have traveled to the nation’s capital before, and many have never stepped foot outside the Joliet area or the state, said Bolden, the center’s executive director.

“This will be life-changing for them,” she said.

Eight-year-old Warren Cooper is one of 12 children slated to go to Washington, D.C., with Bolden and two other chaperones.

“This is really cool. I want to take lots of pictures,” Warren said, wide-eyed after realizing he was selected. “I want to take pictures so I can show my mom and my family what the White House looks like.”

Bolden submitted the application last year for a Kitchen Garden tour, explaining the center’s new urban community garden and how the children are growing vegetables, learning about nutrition and participating in Michelle Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign.

When she didn’t hear anything back, she reached out to U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, and Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Illinois.

Foster, who visited the center Thursday, said he sent a letter to the White House in May strongly urging the center’s selection for the tour.

A group from the community center has been invited to visit first lady Michelle Obama’s Kitchen Garden on the South Lawn of the White House. BELOW: Vegetables that were picked Thursday from the garden.

About the center A long-standing community resource, the Warren Sharpe Community Center is on the city’s South Side. Its mission is to provide opportunities to children and high-risk teens. Through the creation of a children’s community garden, the center hopes to transform a struggling neighborhood by providing healthy food for its summer camp program and its food pantry. About 40 children and teens attend the center’s after-school program.

“These children deserve it after all their hard work [with the garden],” Foster said. “I heard about their request and said I would be happy to write

a letter in support.”

Bolden and the children plan to leave Aug. 14, and spend the weekend touring significant monuments, Ar-

lington National Cemetery and the Smithsonian Institution before touring the garden Aug. 17, she said.

Bolden said the kids plan to give the first lady a Warren Sharpe T-shirt, a gardening apron with the urban farm’s logo and a cookbook made by the children.

The center’s garden broke

ground in 2014 on city-donated land. But the project would not have been possible without the help of many community organizations and nonprofits, Bolden said.

The garden was largely inspired by Obama’s “Let’s Move!” campaign, for which

USAgain welcomes rules on recycling Area company says regulation needed for growing industry

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Recycling old clothes can be a pretty big business, but also a messy one.

The city of Joliet this year started regulating the collection boxes for old clothes seen in parking lots.

One major textile recycler in the area said it welcomes the new rules.

“We want regulation,” said Mattias Wallander, CEO for USAgain, a West Chicago-based recycler that has been in business since 1999.

The for-profit company has 12,500 collection boxes in 19 states.

Wallander acknowledged there can be problems when collection boxes are not monitored and emptied on a regular basis.

“Over the last five years, there’s been some growth in the industry – some new companies,” he said. “It’s due for regulation.”

The business has been so unregulated that some operators have put boxes on sites without permission, said Kendall Jackson, director of planning for Joliet.

“There’s operators out there who we don’t know who they are because there’s no information on the boxes,” Jackson said.

The Joliet ordinance requires a permit for collection boxes. It also requires boxes have contact information and be kept clean, so they are not overflowing with junk or garbage.

Box operators were operating so freely, Jackson said, some property owners were unsure if they could remove the bins, even if they never gave permission for them to be there and the boxes were creating a mess.

Lathan Goumas – lgoumas@shawmedia.com

Rodrigo Angel of USAgain removes bags of clothing July 24 from a collection bin in Joliet.

“When we started the program, we got calls from property owners saying, ‘Can we move these?’ We’d say, ‘Well, it’s your property. Talk to your legal counsel and do what you need to do,’ ” he said.

Wallander said his company prefers reasonable regulations.

The company has been operating in Will County forest preserves for four years – with permission. USAgain also has bins in Bolingbrook and several other Chicago suburbs.

It even has a curbside textile recycling program in St. Paul, Minnesota.

USAgain puts its name and contact information on its

“They’re able to send winter clothes to Russia and summer clothing to Africa and the really high vintage stuff to London.”

Mattias Wallander CEO for USAgain collection boxes. Its employees collect clothes wearing a uniform and driving a vehicle bearing the company name.

Wallander said there is a need for textile recyclers.

“Wherever you find bins, they are used,” he said.

“That’s a really convenient way for people to get rid of their textiles.”

Wallander said there is not a big profit margin in textile recycling. But there appears to be room for growth.

According to Wallander, about 85 percent of old clothes get thrown in the garbage.

That leaves a lot of opportunity for recycling.

“Over the last 30 years, we’ve really gotten into the habit of recycling our paper, cans and glass. No one even thinks of throwing that away anymore,” he said. “For textiles we don’t have that.”

USAgain wholesales the clothing it collects to compa-

nies called graders that sort it into categories. There are 10 categories for women’s blouses, Wallander said.

“They’re able to send winter clothes to Russia and summer clothing to Africa and the really high vintage stuff to London,” he said.

Despite the number of thrift stores you might see, the market for used clothing in the United States is not considered very large, Wallander said. Used shirts and pants appear to be one area in which the U.S. has a trade surplus.

“We are part of a global economy,” Wallander said.

“Our surplus can be used elsewhere.”

Officials talk health insurance costs, pending ACA excise tax

NHBW Joliet Chapter holding conference

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County can expect an increase on its health insurance premiums next year, but it’s an anticipated 2018 excise tax that has County Board members worried about ballooning costs.

Kathy Soto, vice president of county consultant Aon Hewitt, told members of the board’s Executive Committee on Thursday the county will see a 10 percent rate increase for active and retiree health plans.

County employees will pay more for health insurance in 2016 as part of the union contract agreement reached in 2013 after a 16-day strike. The four-year contract calls for incremental increases, said Bruce Tidwell, director of human resources for the county.

As part of the Affordable

Care Act, the county could be hit with a 40 percent excise tax starting in 2018 on health plan premiums that exceed $10,200 for single coverage and $27,500 for family coverage.

“Most employers are going to get hit with this tax at some point,” Soto said. “It’s just a matter of when.”

The tax could amount to $944,932 for the county in 2018.

The bulk of the cost – $637,000 – stems from the county’s health plan for retirees under 65, according to projections by Aon Hewitt.

The county offers free health coverage for retirees under 65, but County Board Chairman Jim Moustis said he’d like to revisit that policy in an effort to bring costs down.

“We don’t really have to offer anything until they are 65.

JOLIET – The Joliet Chapter Associates of the National Hook-Up of Black Women will conduct a full-day conference for high school boys Aug. 15 at The Salvation Army, 300 Third Ave. in Joliet.

The requested donation is $5 a boy with only 50 slots available. Call 815-549-5678 or email rdaleevans2000@gmail.com for registration or information.

The conference will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and will introduce boys to men who will discuss the importance of anger management, goal setting, networking, leadership development, exercise, faith life and dressing for success.

The Boots On The Ground Conference for Boys is made possible by a grant from The National Hook-Up of Black Women Joliet Chapter and support from The Housing Authority of Joliet FSS Program, Salvation Army and the 2nd Baptist Church Sons of Thunder.

we’ve done,” he said.

Other county health news

The county’s Wellness Program, in its second year, has a 93 percent participation rate, up from 86 percent in 2014.

“That’s really unheard of,” Tidwell said.

The program was developed using a custom model that was endorsed by ASFCME, the county’s largest union, in 2013, he said.

The program offers employees biometric screening and health risk assessments, but those who opt out are hit with premium hikes. The county offers incentives for participating and reaching health and fitness goals.

The program is projected to cost the county about $244,965 in 2016, with costs offset by premium surcharges paid by employees who opted out.

Joliet Public Library conducting survey

JOLIET – The Joliet Public Library is working with the Northern Illinois University Center for Governmental Studies to conduct a telephone survey that will help the library get a better understanding of how it can provide the best possible services to Joliet residents.

The information gathered will assist in the development of a strategic plan for the library, according to a news release.

In the next few weeks, residents might receive a phone call from CGS staff asking to complete this survey. The survey will include questions about each household’s reading habits and other leisure activities, as well as questions about library use.

“We are interested in your point of view, even if you don’t use the library,” library staff said in the news release. “If you are called, please help the library plan for the future by taking the time to share your thoughts.”

• Friday, August 7, 2015

COAL CITY – The Coal City Police Department on Thursday became the third law enforcement agency in Grundy County to introduce a medication return box at its office.

Because prescription medications often end up in young people’s hands and can lead to addiction, anyone with excess, unwanted or expired pill medications can drop them off from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday in the return box at the Coal City Police Department, 545 S. Broadway St., Coal City.

After the Morris Police Department in 2012 and Minooka Police Department in 2014, Coal City joins the “Medication Take Back” program, which was started in 2008 by Grundy County Coroner John Callahan, who reached out to Coal City Police Chief Tom Best.

“We see prescription drug use at the high school level,” Best said. “We’re happy to do this and hope taxpayers feel comfortable with the way it’s being handled.”

It started with a few drop-off events Saturdays and a drop box at the Grundy County Coroner’s Office at 1320 Union St. in Morris.

Callahan said the program has grown to collect at least 50,000 pills a month. It should increase with another drop box placed in a well-known location.

On average, the pills are collected once a week by staff from the coroner’s office and stored safely until an annual trip to In-

There also is a sharps container at the Coal City department where the public can submit used hypodermic syringes for proper disposal.

This summer, the Warren Sharpe children have incorporated at least one healthy item from the garden into lunches every day, said Sam Sandoval, a student studying nutrition and dietetics at Northern Illinois University who is working as a summer intern at the center.

“The coolest thing is that I have kids saying they want a salad. They want to go out to the garden and harvest,” Sandoval said. “This D.C. trip is such an amazing opportunity for them. It’ll be such an eye-opener for them. Maybe they’ll come home and tell their peers what they saw, and tell their neighbors, their friends.”

of land adjacent to the Lewis University Airport to P-B, planned business district, for an industrial warehouse.

The new building off Southcreek Parkway, which also received approval for a final development plan and agreement, would be 675,787 square feet with two curb cut access points. It would contain 140 dock doors and 178 trailer spaces. The building would be precast and similar to adjacent industrial buildings.

The land was part of an 80acre farm purchased by the Joliet Regional Port District as part of the north-south runway expansion project, according to a planning and zoning report.

However, the port district only used half the land.

“There’s an opportunity for the airport to lease the property and actually generate revenue for the airport,” Noak said.

State Police Master Sgt. Fred Rivera said troopers were called about 7 p.m. to the Ridge Road ramp after a

silver 2014 Yamaha GZF-R1 crashed.

Witnesses said Arien A. Whitehead, 24, had been traveling west on I-80 when he exited onto the ramp and appeared to be turning left, according to Rivera.

“He over-corrected and lost control. He told troopers the bike was going to hit the guardrail so he slid it on the

ground,” Rivera said.

Whitehead sought a ride from another motorist before fleeing the scene on foot.

“When troopers arrived they tracked him to Ridge and Hope roads where he was laying in a ditch,” Rivera said.

Whitehead was cited for operating a motorcycle without a license and driving without insurance.

ROMEOVILLE – The popular USA Skate Center in Romeoville, which closed after 42 years in March, will soon transform into an auto body repair shop.

Village trustees voted Wednesday to approve a special-use permit for a final development plan for Car Care Collision Center.

Trustees found the change bittersweet, but were in favor of the new use.

“It’s a happy and a sad day for me,” Trustee Joe Chavez said. “When the roller skating rink was put in, I was a young man at the time. And I just came out there – disco night – roller skating and all that good stuff back in the day.”

The 2.3 acres in the Marquette Business Park, 1301 Naperville Drive, were acquired

by Car Care Collision Center, which proposed remodeling the 24,000-square-foot building

into an auto repair facility.

New overhead doors are being installed along with new entrances. A new main entrance is planned for the northwest end of the structure.

Two entrances will give access to Naperville Drive, with the north driveway housing the main 50-space parking lot.

A new earth-tone dryvit material will be installed over the existing metal panels of the old skate building’s exterior.

In addition to the auto repair use, a Hertz rental car business will operate out of the development, which Mayor John Noak said was significant because the village only has one other car rental business in town.

The USA Skate Center held its last skate session the night of March 8. Longtime skaters were allowed to take home mementos from the rink.

University of Illinois Chancellor Wise resigning Aug. 12

URBANA – University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Chancellor Phyllis Wise said Thursday she is resigning, citing a range of “external issues” that she said have become a distraction for the school.

Wise leaves as she and the campus she runs face a lawsuit filed by a professor whose job offer she rescinded over his anti-Israel Twitter messages, a vote by a prominent academic group to censure the campus in response and complaints and a pair of lawsuits alleging mistreatment of athletes. Her resignation is effective Aug. 12.

In a release emailed to the campus and the media, Wise said she was proud of the work she and others had done since she took the position in 2011. She cited in particular the engineering-based College of Medicine recently approved by university trustees.

“Yet, external issues have arisen over the past year that have distracted us from the important tasks at hand,” she said. “I have concluded that these issues are diverting much needed energy and attention from our goals. I therefore believe the time is right for me to step aside.”

University President Timothy Killeen said he expects to name an interim chancellor within a week.

Chicago plans $250 million in renovations at Midway Airport

CHICAGO – Nearly $250 million of improvements are coming to Midway International Airport, the city of Chicago announced Thursday, including additions and renovations at its security checkpoints, parking garage and concessions.

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Chancellor Phyllis Wise talks Jan. 22 with university President Timothy Killeen in the provost’s office at the Swanlund Administration Building in Champaign. Wise said Thursday she is resigning, citing a range of “external issues” she said have become a distraction for the school. Her resignation is effective Aug. 12.

The project is in response to concerns from travelers, the city said in a news release, especially a new 80,000-square-foot security area meant to address travelers’ common complaints about frequent bottlenecks.

“These enhancements will create jobs for Chicago’s residents, provide an improved experience for travelers from the garage to the gate, and ensure that our world-class city has two worldclass airports,” Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said. He called the airport an “important economic engine.”

City officials hope to receive bids through the end of this year and evaluate them in the first three months of this year before having the Chicago City Council consider the project in the second quarter of next year.

Rauner ties CPS help to statewide changes in union rights

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner said he’ll help blunt a financial crisis in Chicago Public Schools, as long as communities in the rest of the state get more collective-bargaining power.

Rauner said Thursday he’s willing to give Chicago officials everything they’ve asked for – including delaying a $600 million pension payment and approving legislation to force teachers to pay their own share of pension costs.

Illinois to close shooting complex, campground

SPARTA – The state of Illinois plans at the end of this month to close a money-losing

shooting complex that regularly draws thousands each summer for a pair of national competitions.

The World Shooting and Recreation Complex in southern Illinois will close soon after the Grand American World Trapshooting Championship, which began Wednesday and continues through next week.

The Illinois Department of Natural Resources said it costs $3 million each year to operate the site, including $400,000 in debt service.

NAACP wants probe after police shooting ruled justifiable

ROCK ISLAND – The NAACP is calling for a federal investigation after the Rock Island County prosecutors ruled that a Rock

Island police officer was justified in the fatal shooting of an armed African-American man.

On Wednesday, Rock Island County State’s Attorney John McGehee issued a written report clearing Officer Ryan DeRudder of criminal charges in the death of 32-year-old Darrin Langford on April 2.

Before the confrontation with police, Langford was seen firing his weapon into the air, according to several witnesses.

A foot chase began when Langford saw police had arrived on the scene. Langford was ordered to drop his gun but refused to do so. DeRudder shot at Langford when he started to pivot during the chase, because DeRudder feared for his safety, the report determined.

But when he fired at officers, he shot pellets. When he brought down his hatchet on a man’s shoulder, he barely nicked him. Only Montano ended up dead.

Trump refuses to rule out 3rd-party run in GOP debate

By JULIE PACE and STEVE PEOPLES The Associated Press CLEVELAND – A combative Donald Trump, the billionaire businessman-turned-presidential candidate, jolted the first Republican debate of the 2016 campaign by warning he might run as an independent if denied the GOP nomination. His startling declaration left his onstage rivals scrambling to compete for attention the rest of the night.

Asked in the debate’s opening minutes whether he could rule out a third-party run, Trump declared Thursday night, “I will not make the pledge at this time.” He also refused to apologize for making crude comments about women, defended his changing policy positions and repeatedly tangled with the debate moderators.

While Trump was characteristically bombastic, most of the contenders standing alongside him clamored for their piece of the spotlight without engaging him directly. They quarreled over immigration, terrorism and gay marriage, each casting him-

self as the strongest to take on Democratic front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton.

The closest former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, a favorite of the party’s moderate, establishment wing, came to tangling with Trump was a gentle critique of the businessman’s over-the-top rhetoric.

“Mr. Trump’s language is divisive,” Bush said. “We’re not going to win by doing what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton do every day — dividing the country.”

On immigration, one of the main topics of the night, Bush defended his call for a path to legal status for some of the people living in the U.S. illegally, an unpopular position among some Republican voters who equate legal status with amnesty.

“The great majority of people coming here have no other option,” Bush said.

Trump in particular has pushed the issue of immigration throughout the summer, drawing criticism for saying Mexican immigrants are rapists. He said Thursday that he had been told that by border patrol agents, and he took credit for immigration being an issue in the campaign.

“If it weren’t for me, you wouldn’t even be talking about illegal immigration,” he said, despite the fact that immigration has been a hot-button issue in presidential campaigns for years.

Trump’s blunt style was in line with the approach he’s taken to his campaign throughout the summer, appealing to voters frustrated with career politicians and perplexing his rivals. He entered the first debate leading the polls in a field filled with governors and senators.

Seventeen Republicans are seeking the party’s nomination, but only 10 were invited by debate host Fox News to participate in the main event based on their showing in recent polls. The remaining seven were relegated to a pre-debate forum.

On stage in his home state, Ohio Gov. John Kasich sought to raise his profile by striking an optimistic tone on the economy, saying all Americans need an opportunity to “share in this great American dream.” He said that while he favored traditional marriage, he had recently attended a same-sex wedding and would support his children if they were gay.

OUR VIEW

Developing better leaders through a good farm system With Illinois stuck in the second month of a budget stalemate, it’s hard to see much hope for compromise.

Hey, if our state were a baseball team, we’d be mired somewhere near the bottom of the standings.

Indeed, many veteran “players” on the current “team” just haven’t performed, have they?

And when new talent arrives on the statewide scene, the veterans have shown minimal inclination to pull together with the newcomers.

In baseball, the most successful teams build winning traditions from the minor leagues on up. A good farm system teaches fundamentals and constantly feeds talented players to the major league club who are imbued with a strong philosophy of teamwork.

The result? Victories.

Fans of the St. Louis Cardinals have seen it work for decades. Fans of the Cubs are seeing it work this year (finally).

Perhaps that’s a good analogy for the Edgar Fellows program going on this week at the University of Illinois’ Institute of Government and Public Affairs in Urbana-Champaign.

Forty emerging leaders are involved in the five-day leadership training program, where former Gov. Jim Edgar and IGPA experts inspire the young leaders to pursue bipartisan, inter-regional cooperation when dealing with the state’s major challenges.

The Class of 2015 reflects the state’s regional, political, racial and ethnic diversity. It joins three previous classes in learning about competent, ethical and solution-oriented leadership.

Our area is lucky to have three people in this year’s group: David Welter of Morris, chairman of the Grundy County Board; Ragan Freitag of Wilmington, a member of the Will County Board; and state Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet.

There are 11 legislators in the group. In fact, since 2012, more than 40 lawmakers have been involved – more than 20 percent of the Legislature.

We believe that bodes well for the state’s future.

Why? Just as development of young athletes pays dividends on the baseball diamond, developing young leaders should pay dividends in Illinois government, the business world and civic engagement.

If those leaders perform as they’ve been taught, maybe our state will get the innovative, inclusive, forward-thinking leadership it needs to solve its many problems.

It’s worked for the Cardinals. It’s working for the Cubs.

Someday, maybe Illinoisans won’t have to wait till next year for better leadership.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Unrealistic expectations and McCain’s POW experiences

To the Editor: John McCain’s prisoner of war experiences are back in the news. I wonder if the unrealistic expectations his generation faced still remain in place for our troops today.

McCain said he volunteered to remain behind with his fellow prisoners when offered early release because Navy regulations stated that no one could leave earlier than anyone captured prior to him. So, I don’t know if he volunteered or obeyed orders. It’s one or the other. Obviously, he couldn’t have done both.

But either way, he was a hero.

If McCain was mandated to languish and suffer over there by our own government, what productive purpose did it serve? How did that benefit anyone? Did bullheaded pride, rigid tradition and forced martyrdom override plain common sense and concern for the welfare of

our troops? Which country really held McCain and his peers in bondage?

McCain could have brought home a wealth of information about other prisoners being held, in addition to priceless military intelligence that might have saved many American lives.

Remember, technology still was in the dark ages then. But, apparently, it was felt that making him sit and tough it out would send some sort of perceived macho message. A twisted “code of honor”?

Recruits are taught from Day 1 in basic training their first priority as a POW is to attempt escape. Escape and you’ll get a medal. But if someone opens the gate and lets you walk out, you’re a war criminal?

Unreasonable rules are imposed by unreasonable people who never will have to personally have to abide by them.

A HANDLE ON SUCCESS

New Providence girls volleyball coach set to build on team’s ball control expertise

By KAITLYN JASNICA

Providence’s Rachel Alles sets the ball against Lincoln-Way Central during a match last year at Providence in New Lenox.

The Celtics are returning Alles, a Herald-News All-Area second-team player.

kjasnica@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Even though Brienne Isaacson was ready to start coaching high school volleyball again, she wasn’t going to jump back in for just any school.

When she started talking with Providence’s athletic department, she didn’t know if the Celtics would offer or if the position even would be the right fit. She had left her successful coaching career at Naperville Central because she wanted to spend time with her four kids. To accept a high school coaching job, something had to stand out.

Providence’s tradition and school pride did the trick.

Once she stepped on the school campus, Isaacson knew it was a school where she could see herself coaching.

Next came meeting the team she would coach. That ended up being a near ideal fit as well.

The team roster is not picked yet, but the Celtics are returning several starters.

They also are returning one thing that Isaacson is excited about: great ball control.

Having ball control leading into the season can only mean good things.

“When you look at the teams that have had long-term success, it’s because they can handle the ball and play good defense,” Isaacson said. “I think having that part of the game already just makes it

more special. A team at that level with great ball control can do great things, and the other things come.

“Ball control is my favorite part of the game to coach. To have that already and to be building off of that has set the tone for a great season.”

Providence arguably had the best ball control in the area last season. The skills most

likely will have improved this fall because a year of club volleyball can only enhance skills, not hurt them.

The Celtics are returning setter Rachel Alles, a Joliet Herald-News All-Area second-team player. Aside from running the offense from the back row, Alles was a go-to hitter and played strong across the board. Front row. Back

row. Serving line. She did it all.

She wasn’t the only one.

All returning players – Emily Boggetto, Anna Smagala, Melissa Flynders and Katie Compagno – are well-rounded volleyball players. Last season, every Celtics player passed well, defended well and served aggressively.

BEARS

Receiver Kevin White’s injury a big concern You can pretend an obvious problem isn’t an issue by ignoring only it for so long.

I’m not ready to say just yet the shin injury to Bears first-round draft choice Kevin White is a problem, but it clearly has become a significant issue that is almost certain to delay his development as an NFL receiver.

When you draft a player at a skill position with the seventh overall pick, and he just happens to be the fastest player in the draft, you are hoping for an instant impact player.

Before we talk about why White won’t be that guy, let’s talk about how we got here.

Nobody thought much about it when White missed some OTAs to participate in the National Football League Player Association’s Rookie Premier event, but there was some surprise when he was held out of the mandatory minicamp because of a vague leg injury.

Upon arriving in Bourbonnais on July 29, we were further puzzled by the announcement from general manager Ryan Pace that White would start training camp on the physically-unable-to-perform list because of a “shin injury,” no more details to come.

Pace only told us, “It happened, I’d say, in the later part of the OTAs. That’s when we

Bears rookie wide receiver Kevin White warms up before practice drills during an organized team activity June 3 at Halas Hall in Lake Forest. White is on the physically-unable-to-perform list.

BEARS INSIDER Hub Arkush started keeping him off of it.”

Pushed on the subject after the first practice, coach John Fox said, “He’s day-to-day. It’s not a long-term problem. Like any injury – a blister could become a long-term problem if you don’t treat it right. We’re just trying to do the proper treatment and do what’s in his best interest.”

Now fast forward to the beginning of the second week of camp Thursday and Fox and Pace saying on AM-670 the Score they hope to have White practicing next week while at the same time Ian Rappaport is reporting on NFL.com that, according to a source, White still could be on the PUP list to begin the regular season.

Let’s go with what we know. The Bears themselves have no idea when White is going to be able to go; and when he is ready, he will have a great deal of work to do.

White’s speed is near priceless, and he is as sculpted as any player in the league.

But many an NFL prospect has come along with those tangibles and ended up with the label, “Looks like Tarzan, plays like Jane.”

Again, I am not suggesting

H. Rick Bamman file photo – hbamman@ shawmedia.com

that will be White, and he absolutely was worthy of the seventh overall pick.

My concerns are, first – the notion his college coach, Dana Holgorson, is a wide receiver savant is false.

Holgorson’s Texas Tech protégés Wes Welker and Michael Crabtree produced mixed results in the NFL, with Crabtree now looking like a first-round disappointment to the 49ers.

Contrary to what you may have heard, he did not coach Dez Bryant at Oklahoma State but did have a year there with Justin Blackmon, and Blackmon has been a massive first-round bust.

Holgorson’s other West

Virginia products, Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey, have failed to impress at receiver.

White enjoyed a monster season in 2014, but he was extremely mediocre his first year in Morgantown in 2013, and just an average junior college player before that.

What cannot be ignored is the fact White’s huge numbers last year came in a scheme that would not work in the NFL and in which he was not asked to run the entire NFL route tree, and most of his numbers were piled up strictly on the strength of his superior athleticism.

There are a ton of superior athletes in the NFL, and there is only one way to learn and

excel at an NFL route tree: reps, reps and more reps.

There is no player on the Bears’ roster likely to be slowed more by missing camp than White.

Although there is absolutely no reason to panic yet and no reason to believe White won’t turn out to be a fine draft choice, it’s going to take a lot longer than anyone hoped.

Let’s stop pretending his “shin injury” isn’t a big deal, because it is.

Providence values tough schedule to prepare it for postseason • PROVIDENCE

Continued from page 19 area. She just has to add her own twist to things.

Isaacson knows the potential Providence has. To reiterate, the Celtics barely lost to the state runner-up Joliet Catholic, and they only lost two starting players. She doesn’t want to get too ahead of herself, however.

Right now, Isaacson has two major tasks of choosing the team and getting to know the girls before setting concrete team goals for the season.

“I think this squad is a strong group of girls, and they have a strong desire to be very successful,” Isaacson said.

“Certainly, my goal is to be playing the very best volleyball come November. A goal where we aim for a regional title or a sectional title – I think that even though it’s on the back of my mind right now, I think that until I really get with the girls and we have our team, I think that those are more of my personal goals.

Once we get together, we’ll have more realistic goals of what they’re looking for and for what I think we’re capable of doing.

“With the kids we have, the positions that they play and their desire to be successful, I think all of those things will be a byproduct of that. They’re ready. They’re excited, and they’ve been waiting for this.

My long-term goal is to be the best volleyball team that we can be come November.”

Even with the new coach, one thing has not changed or gotten easier for Providence.

The Celtics are in a tough volleyball conference and likely will tally a lot of losses early on in the season.

Their schedule is so tough that they’re opening up the season against Benet, reign-

ing Class 4A state champion.

The objective, however, is to play a tough schedule to prepare them for postseason.

Because Isaacson won three state titles – one as an assistant coach and two as a head coach – and has had a successful high school coaching career before Providence, she knows how to get her teams ready to play their best volleyball at tournament time.

“I think that knowing what I know today after coaching many years of high school volleyball, I’d much rather play a very difficult regular season schedule to be prepared

for postseason than the other way around,” Isaacson said.

“It’s going to be a long haul, but those teams who stay committed to it figure it out in the end. We’re going to go through highs and lows together, but that’s all part of it. I’m looking forward to it.

“I’m very excited to get started, and I’m really grateful for the opportunity. I think there are great things to come for this group. I’m excited to be a part of it. I look forward to going in every day and getting to work with the girls. The season can’t come soon enough as far as I’m concerned.”

Back in the day, Joliet coaching legend Don Reed guided his local Colt League teams to four World Series championships.

When Reed moved to the Connie Mack level for players 18 and under, his Musser’s Mohawks finished fourth, third and first in consecutive summers – from 1980 through 1982 – at the Connie Mack World Series in Farmington, New Mexico.

The Connie Mack event, which has been played in Farmington since 1965, is considered by many as the epitome of summer amateur tournaments – from the way it is run, to the manner in which the participants are treated, to the quality of baseball that is played.

Although there is no team such as Musser’s Mohawks to represent Joliet proper on the Connie Mack level these days, many of the top players in that age range play with successful teams based in the Chicago area.

For example, there’s Prairie Gravel out of Chicago, which entered Thursday night as one of four teams remaining in the double-elimination World Series that concludes Friday night.

On the Prairie Gravel roster are five players who graduated from local high schools in the spring.

There’s Robert Talarico (Joliet West), who will play his college ball at Lewis. He will join a staff that includes former Joliet West pitcher Jake Herron, who is transferring to Lewis after two years at John A. Logan College, along with Sam Couch (Joliet Catholic), Nick Davito (Lockport) and Brad Elmore (Bolingbrook). Prominent position players for the Flyers include Austin Mastela (Lockport), Joe Sparacio (Plainfield Central) and Neal Tyrell (Minooka).

Also on the Prairie Gravel tournament roster are outfielder Cristian Sanchez (Minooka) and pitchers Cole Bellair (Lockport), Austin Moralis (Lockport) and Matt Vanek (Plainfield North). Sanchez will play his college ball at Georgetown, Bellair at Illinois, Moralis at Heartland Community College and Vanek at Saint Xavier.

To say the locals have been enjoying themselves in Farmington is an understatement.

“It’s fun – it’s a blast,” Talarico said during our midweek phone conversation. “They really treat us well here.

NHL watching investigation involving Kane The ASSOCIATED PRESS BUFFALO, N.Y. – The NHL said it is “following developments” of a police investigation involving Blackhawks star Patrick Kane.

The Blackhawks said they are gathering information and declined further comment. The Buffalo News first reported the investigation Thursday.

Neighbors of Kane, who lives in Hamburg, New York, in the offseason, told the Chicago Tribune that police arrived at his lakefront property Sunday night and several plainclothes officers entered his house using flashlights. At least one wore gloves and was seen taking pictures out front.

Hamburg Police Chief Gregory Wickett would not describe the nature of the in-

vestigation or confirm one exists.

“If and when an arrest is made, we will provide the information,” he said.

Kane’s agent, Pat Brisson, issued a statement that first referred to the Blackhawks release, noting the team is gathering information and reviewing reports. Brisson then added: “It would not be appropriate to provide further com-

ment at this time.”

The investigation comes after the Hawks’ third Stanley Cup in six seasons. Kane has been lauded in recent years for his growth after several off-the-ice incidents earlier in his career.

Kane was scheduled to bring the Stanley Cup to Buffalo this weekend, but it’s unclear whether that will happen.

RASCALS 5/7, SLAMMERS 2/1 (DOUBLE HEADER)

Slammers drop a pair against River City SUBMITTED REPORT O’FALLON, Missouri – The Joliet Slammers got off to a promising start in their three-game series at River City, belting the Rascals, 11-4, Tuesday night.

But after Wednesday night’s rainout, it was a different story Thursday as the

Rascals whipped Joliet twice in seven-inning games, 5-2 and 7-1.

The Slammers (28-41) return home Friday night to open a three-game weekend series against Florence. Sunday’s game to conclude the series is scheduled for a special 1:05 p.m. start.

River City (37-32) led the

opener, 5-0, after four innings.

Phil Bates, who went 3 for 6 in the doubleheader, launched a two-run homer in the top of the fifth to get the Slammers within 5-2, which would be the final score.

Joliet closed the first game with five hits, including two

by Bates, and managed only

two in the second game, with Bates and Casey Fletcher getting one apiece.

Fletcher got his hit and scored a run early as the Slammers took a 1-0 lead into the bottom of the third inning. But the Rascals scored five times in the bottom of the third to lead 5-1 and coasted from there.

‘There was something special about this one’ Plainfield writer is now a best-selling author of suspense mysteries If you go

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Mary Kubica of Plainfield is married with two children. She enjoys photography, gardening and volunteering at an animal shelter.

But Kubica also is a best-selling author of psychological suspense mysteries. A news release from the Plainfield Public Library – where Kubica will appear Tuesday – said her latest novel, “Pretty Baby,” is featured in the August edition of People magazine.

Earlier this week, Kubica took a few moments out of her busy tour schedule – which according to her website included stops in Texas, Arizona, California and Washington – to answer a few questions by email.

Tell us about your two novels.

• “The Good Girl” and “Pretty Baby” are both psychological suspense novels.

“The Good Girl,” released in 2014, tracks the abduction of a 25-year-old Chicago woman from the points of view of her mother, her abductor and the detective on the case.

“Pretty Baby,” released this year, focuses on a Chicago woman who welcomes a homeless teenage girl and her baby into her family’s home, and the repercussions this decision will have on all involved.

Did you always want to be a writer?

• For most of my life, writing was always a hobby, though something I was deeply passionate about.

Professionally, I taught high school history before making the decision to start a family. When my daughter was born in 2005, I decided to stay home and care for her, and it was then that I was able to focus on my writing.

WHAT: Mary Kubica book signing WHEN: 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday WHERE: Plainfield Public Library, 15025 S. Illinois St., Plainfield ETC: Before her signing, Kubica will perform a reading and answer questions from the audience. Books will be available to buy for $24.95 plus tax.

REGISTER: Those planning to attend should register online at shawurl.com/21zn or by calling 815-327-2515.

INFORMATION: For information about Kubica, visit her website at www.marykubica.com. For information about the Plainfield Public Library, visit www.plainfieldpubliclibrary.org.

Mary Kubica of Plainfield is the author of two psychological suspense novels: “The Good Girl,” released in Are you a flower gardener or 2014, and “Pretty Baby,” released this year. vegetable gardener, and why? a mother is my first priority.

When did you first realize you had a story inside you?

• I’ve always loved creating stories, from the young age of 8 or 9 years old. But when I started working on my first novel, “The Good Girl,” I knew right away that there was something special about this one, and felt quite captivated by the characters and the story line. I knew this story was different from any I had written before.

Was it challenging finding a publisher?

• For me, the challenging part was finding a literary agent. This took a few years and much rejection before I found the right woman for the job. But once I had an agent, she and I worked together for a small time to make sure [the] manuscript was in the best shape it could be, and within a few months we had secured a publishing deal with MIRA Books.

How do you make time to write while caring for a family?

• It’s definitely a balancing act. When I wrote my first novel, my children were infants and toddlers, and writing certainly took a backseat to child rearing. Now my children [are] 9 and 7 years old, in school all day and much more independent. Finding time to write has become easier over the years, but I try and get my writing done when the kids are at school or asleep, so that

Mary Kubica’s latest novel, “Pretty Baby,” is featured in the August edition of People magazine, according to a news release from the Plainfield Public Library, where Kubica will appear Tuesday.

I can focus entirely on them when they’re home. Being

I understand you are also a photographer. What subjects do you enjoy capturing?

• I enjoy taking pictures of nature and my family, but I also volunteer at a local animal shelter, taking photographs of all new arrivals to post to our website in the hopes of finding these cats and dogs their forever homes.

• I enjoy flowers, simply because I’ve never tried gardening vegetables, but I’d love to one day.

Are you ever tempted to adopt any of the animals at the shelter?

• Yes! I have three cats I’ve adopted from the shelter where I volunteer, and I’ve tried hard to convince my husband that we need more, though he isn’t yet convinced.

What book made the most impact on your life?

• Without a doubt, Tim O’Brien’s “The Things They Carried.” This is a very poignant memoir on the Vietnam War, and one everyone must read.

What’s the best way to combat writer’s block?

• Get away from the writing.

I find it best to work mentally through writer’s block when I’m cleaning the house, running errands, exercising or spending time with my family.

Staring at a blank sheet of paper is of no value to me.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

It is the same by a passed hand

CELEBRITY CIPHER

G.K. Chesterton, an English writer who died in 1936, said, “By a curious confusion, many modern critics have passed from the proposition that a masterpiece may be unpopular to the other proposition that unless it is unpopular it cannot be a masterpiece.”

This week, I have been trying to clarify the confusion that responder can have after the opener bids one of a major and the next player interposes a takeout double. Then, a jump to two no-trump shows game-invitational values with four-card or longer support for partner’s major. With game-forcing strength, responder bids three no-trump. Here, though, responder is a passed hand, so cannot have a game-force unless he has distributional values in the form of a singleton or void, when he could make a splinter bid. I know, more confusion!

In this deal, North indicates a maximum pass with four or more spades, and South bids game. (Yes, South might have opened one no-trump. Then North might have raised to three notrump, which would not have worked well; or he would have used Stayman and reached four spades.)

West cashes two top hearts, then shifts to the club jack. Declarer wins with dummy’s ace and runs the spade jack. West takes the trick and leads another club. How should South continue?

It looks obvious to take the diamond finesse, but West, who could not open the bidding, has already shown up with 11 high-card points. East must have the diamond queen. Declarer should draw trumps, cash his diamond ace, and play a diamond to dummy’s king. Keep counting those high-card points.

tussis vaccine as soon as it is safe. I describe the immunization schedule for babies below.

For a pregnant woman, receiving the Tdap vaccine is known to be safe. Women who get the vaccine show no increase in problems with the birth or the newborn.

It is also important that the other parent, caregivers and anyone else who will be in close contact with the baby get one dose of the Tdap vaccine when the mother is pregnant. This is called cocooning. This approach surrounds the infant with people who all have been vaccinated.

If the people in contact with the baby are protected from catching pertussis, then the baby won’t get pertussis from them.

Your baby should get the DTaP vaccine when he or she is old enough.

(DTaP is the pertussis vaccine for children under 7 years of age. Tdap is the pertussis vaccine for anyone 7 years of age and older.) Your child should get the vaccine at the following ages: • 2 months • 4 months • 6 months • 12 to 18 months • 4 to 6 years These shots will help your child’s immune system to develop his or her own protection. Many of my patients think of whooping cough as a disease of the past. While it is true that whooping cough is less common today than in the past, it still is a threat – to you and to your baby.

nant. My doctor wants me to have a pertussis vaccine. Why? And is this safe?

Dear Reader: Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, is a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes violent coughing. The coughing makes it hard to breathe and produces a deep “whooping” sound.

Pertussis bacteria spread through droplets that move through the air when an infected person sneezes, coughs or talks.

Pertussis can occur at any age, but serious illness is most common in infants and young children. Pertussis can even lead to death in very young babies.

All infants should be protected against whooping cough. But infants 0 to 6 weeks old are too young to get the pertussis vaccine. A new review by a panel of experts, published in the journal Pediatrics, found that vaccinating women while they are pregnant is the best way to protect newborns against whooping cough.

The panel recommended that all pregnant women should get the Tdap vaccine (which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) during the last three months of pregnancy. In fact, your obstetrician should routinely recommend the Tdap vaccine to you each time you are pregnant.

When a pregnant woman gets the Tdap vaccine, it tells her immune system to make antibodies that protect her from getting whooping cough. She passes on these antibodies to her baby at birth. This gives her newborn protection against whooping cough.

However, the mother’s antibodies against pertussis don’t last many months. That’s why the baby should get the per-

for reminding parents how important it is to watch their children at ALL times when they’re near water.

Too often we hear about the drowning death of a child because someone was distracted “for just a few moments.” I hope my readers will take to heart your important message.

Dear Abby: I am a 50-yearold gay man, out of the closet for 10 years. Throughout my life I have had to deal with low self-esteem and other issues. When I came out, my life changed dramatically for the better.

However, I have never been in any kind of relationship.

I never had a girlfriend when I was trying to pass for straight, nor have I ever had a boyfriend. Outside of immediate family, no one has ever said “I love you” to me. I’m the type of person who is instantly “friendzoned.”

As I get older, I’m

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips feeling lonelier and lonelier. Friends tell me I’m better off, because lovers just break your heart. I’m willing to risk that for the opportunity to tell someone I love them and hear it in return, but at this point, I have no idea where to begin.

I have tried dating, but nothing has ever progressed beyond a first date. I don’t know if there’s something about my personality that makes me undatable or what. Do you have any advice? – Alone in Missouri Dear Alone: I doubt there is anything wrong with your personality. That you have never been in a relationship may have left you a little rough around the edges when it comes to romance.

I’m a firm believer that the more exposure someone has, the better the chances of finding what you’re looking for. If you aren’t active with a gay and lesbian community center, go online to lgbtcenters.org and research some in your area. You have to be “out there” for Prince Charming to find you. Join talk groups, fundraising groups, sports activities, and look into online dating. While you shouldn’t go around with “Needy” tattooed on your forehead, let your friends – gay and straight – know you’d like to meet someone nice. Who knows?

Maybe someone will have a brother – or an uncle.

Dear Abby: My daughter is a lifeguard at a local pool.

Caregivers, PLEASE take note: While she’s disciplining your child for dunking another, she cannot watch other children who might be struggling to catch a breath. You cannot possibly watch all the children you brought with you while you’re busy on your cellphone.

Yes, lifeguards save lives. But if the lifeguard has to be a disciplinarian and a baby sitter as well as do her own job, she might not see the baby who fell into the pool while you were flirting with the sexy guy sitting near you. Having a lifeguard present does not excuse parents from taking care of their children. Do YOUR job and prevent a tragedy from happening. –

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Lend your voice to a worthwhile cause. The more passionate you are, the better the response and chance of success. Your strong sense of conviction and high standards will help you be a good leader. Don’t sell yourself short, and always strive to make a difference.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Be sensitive to the needs of those around you. What you consider harmless flirtation will be easily misinterpreted. Take precautions to avoid sending the wrong signals.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Shake up your routine a little. Plan a day trip. The change of scenery will be inspiring, and it’s likely that you will meet new and interesting people along the way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Charity begins at home.

An older relative is in need of your assistance. Your generosity will be rewarded and your sense of pride and satisfaction will grow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Physical activity will help get you up and out of a slump. Stewing about past disappointments will lead to depression and a lack of productivity. Get moving.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Eating healthy and maintaining an exercise regimen will help you face your day-to-day trials. Fast food and an indulgent lifestyle will not get you closer to a higher standard of living.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Look for ways to

incorporate an enjoyable activity into your life. It’s possible to turn a fun hobby into a moneymaker.

Follow through with your plans.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Being too demanding or pushy will not help you gain ground with friends or relatives. Compromise and a willingness to step aside once in a while will help everything run smoothly.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If you are unsure of the future, look into the past. Fascinating tidbits of information can be gained through discussions with older family members or close friends.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – If you have been careless with your spending habits, now is the time to rectify

the situation. Keep meticulous records of your expenditures in order to find a way to cut corners.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Accept social invitations. Meeting people who can contribute to your life won’t happen if you don’t take part in the world. Get out, mingle and learn from experience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Reach out to someone you love. Making plans for the future or discovering what your personal options might be will help you improve your state of mind.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – If you feel strongly about something, don’t be afraid to share your thoughts.

It is possible to bring about significant changes and make a difference if you are determined.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Turn your dreams into reality. Don’t let drawbacks or disappointments stop you from reaching for the top. Determination and willpower will help you overcome any roadblocks. Follow your instincts to a more productive and happier lifestyle. It’s up to you to make things happen.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Save your breath. Getting into a battle of wills with someone who won’t back down is pointless. Agree to disagree, make your own decisions and do your own thing.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Tend to the needs of someone who is struggling. Don’t get stuck in a routine or be afraid of trying something new. Take a stand and make decisions that will improve your life.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Spend time improving your living space. Get rid of items that are no longer useful and replace them with products that will make your life more comfortable.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Don’t allow anyone to make you feel guilty for doing things you enjoy. You will eventually overextend yourself if you keep paying for others. Consider your health and well-being.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – If you surround yourself with people who share your beliefs and morals, you’ll feel secure. Judgmental, critical or negative people are best avoided if you want to get ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Updating your look

will help improve your image and self-confidence.

Presenting a capable, take-charge persona will make others see you as an accomplished and responsible leader.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Take a close look at the people around you. It’s time to break free from anyone who is too controlling or only looking to use you to get ahead. Focus on your own advancement.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Organize a get-together with people who make you happy. Workplace woes will fade into the background once you are having fun with like-minded people.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Look into making a professional change if you feel that your talents are

being wasted. Do your research and stay on top of job opportunities both in and outside of your locale.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Don’t jump to conclusions. If you are not clear about something, ask. You are likely to end up in a vulnerable position if you have made an assumption or misinterpreted an offer.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Money matters are highlighted. Focus on building a secure future. Purchases that grow in value should be considered. Be smart, do your research and make your move.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Concentrate on important relationships. Do something you enjoy with the people you care about. Building closer ties with loved ones will relieve stress and promote happiness.
