The emotions of heading back to class It was with a bit of nostalgia that the other day I browsed the back-toschool aisles at the store.

I have no need for reams of looseleaf paper, spiral notebooks or crayons, because I’m not headed back to school later this month. Sadly, you don’t get summer vacations once you join the workforce; had I realized this at a younger age, I might not have been in such a hurry to grow up.

But I kind of wanted to buy some supplies anyway. There’s something about stuffing a new backpack with freshly sharpened pencils, markers and folders and picking out the perfect outfit for the first day of class that can’t be replicated – and that, at times, I yearn for.

It’s a mixture of feelings, all churned together that, when combined, equal an emotion I can’t quite define. There’s excitement to see friends. Nervousness over what challenges may arise this year.

Anticipation over whether you’ll be

VIEWS Kate Schott in any classes with your crush (or, conversely, with that kid you just can’t stand). And maybe a pinch of dread that the summer is over and you’re going to be spending more time inside than you’d like.

I have mixed feelings of my school days. I loved elementary school, where we made books (it’s amazing how paper with cardboard covers wrapped in contact paper can make you feel like an author), was outspoken in class and made friendship bracelets out of embroidery thread with my gal pals.

I hated junior high. I went from being with the same 90 or so kids I had known for seven years in elementary school to being with hundreds of students – many of

whom I didn’t seem to get along with, but longtime friends just seemed to adore. I was awkward, had no idea (or interest) in dressing in a way that would remotely make me seem cool (I still feel this way some days) and seemed to have lost my voice for these two years.

High school was better: I found groups I belonged to, joined the school newspaper (newspaper ink seems to have has always been in my blood), and started charting the course of becoming who I wanted to be – and found the voice needed to speak up for that person.

But if given the option, there are days I would rewind time and go back to school. I’d tell that little girl at recess who, instead of gossiping with the girls, always wanted to play soccer with the boys to keep at it – and when she could, to be a better player than the boys.

I’d tell the 13-year-old me to hang in there, that while I may have lost

some childhood friends, there were people I hadn’t met yet who were going to change my life for the better.

And I’d let that 17-year-old know that burgeoning interest in journalism was going to ignite in college and propel her toward a career that would take her places she never imagined.

Our local elementary and high school students head back to class, some as early as this week. I hope as they head out the door for their first day of class, they feel that emotion they can’t quite explain, that in some ways, defies definition.

And I hope they savor it.

Interstate 55 bridge lane closures start Monday

By BOB OKON

Vehicles southbound on Interstate 55 brake for road work on the Des Plaines River bridge in Channahon in 2014.

bokon@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON TOWNSHIP – Lane closures scheduled to start Monday will be a reminder of traffic trouble and crashes that plagued maintenance work for two summers at the Interstate 55 bridges over the Des Plaines River.

These closures will be only for two or three weeks, however, and only during certain hours of the day because no construction is involved.

The bridges are getting routine inspections.

Guy Tridgell, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Transportation, said even though the maintenance project was completed last summer, the bridges are due for an inspection.

“That project lasted two years,” Tridgell said. “We’re supposed to have the inspections every other year. That last time the inspections were done was in the first year of the project.”

Tridgell said some thought was given to doing the inspections last summer. But IDOT decided against keeping lanes closed any longer because of the strong interest in reopen-

ing all lanes.

The bridges were fully reopened Aug. 15, 2014. Less than a month earlier, on July 21, two fatal collisions involving semitrailers occurred at about the same time in the construction zone and caused the deaths of six people.

Over the course of the twoyear project, eight people died in collisions. There were 243 collisions. Police also issued 9,392 traffic citations during the construction.

State police will be watching closely during the upcoming lane closures, Trooper Deann Falat said.

“We’ll have troopers out

there during lane closures, and they will be enforcing,” Falat said.

Traffic accidents in construction zones happen for a variety of reasons, Falat said.

“A lot of it has to do with people not paying attention that a construction zone is coming up,” she said.

She cautioned against driving on the shoulder to get to exits.

“We will be watching for that,” Falat said.

The two I-55 bridges were built in the 1950s. Inspectors examine individual parts and at hand’s length, Tridgell said.

“They’re pretty involved

Repairs start soon to Jefferson Street bridge in Shorewood SHAW MEDIA SHOREWOOD – The Illinois Department of Transportation has announced that repairs soon will begin to the Jefferson Street bridge over the DuPage River in Shorewood.

Weather permitting, the work will begin Aug. 17, according to an IDOT news release.

The project involves repairs to the bridge deck and approaches, as well as replacement of the expansion joints. To complete the work, lanes will be narrowed and reduced to one in both direcinspections for a bridge that is older and is quite large compared to other bridges in the area,” he said.

Each I-55 bridge is 1,400 feet long. There is one for northbound lanes and another for southbound traffic.

The inspections of the southbound bridge is scheduled first,

tions.

The project is to be completed by Oct. 1, according to IDOT. Motorists can expect delays and should allow extra time for trips through the area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and signs in the work zones, obey the posted speed limits and be alert for workers and equipment, according to the news release.

Details on other construction projects in IDOT’s District 1 are at http://goo.gl/ upgvZu. Updates on the impacts to traffic are available at www.travelmidwest.com. with daily lane closures scheduled between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Inspections on the northbound bridge will follow, with lane closures daily between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

IDOT will post electronic message signs advising motorists of expected travel times through the construction zone.

COVER STORY

Parents ‘scavenge’ for classroom supplies before first day JOLIET – When Joliet resident Cathy Lowery does the back-to-school shopping for her grandchildren these days, she is reminded of her own childhood.

Growing up in Crest Hill, Lowery fondly remembers her parents bought items such as writing utensils and paper at a low cost.

On Thursday, the bill ran up to more than $50 for each grandchild at Wal-Mart.

“Even when you adjust for inflation, my parents didn’t pay this much,” Lowery said.

Lowery said her grandchildren’s parents were working, so she has stepped in to shop for the kids, who attend schools in Troy School District 30-C. “It took me close to an hour,” Lowery said, adding she was looking for the cheapest items off supply lists from the schools. “I feel like I’m on a scavenger hunt. I don’t understand how one child uses 48 pencils [and pens] in one year.”

Parents and guardians such as Lowery are again in that August money-saving mode as students prepare to head back to class for the start of the 2015-16 academic year – some as soon as this week – and need the items that will help them achieve their educational goals.

According to a National Retail Federation spending survey conducted by Prosper Insights and Analytics, the average family with children in kindergarten through 12th grade will spend $630.36 on electronics, apparel and oth-

While that is down from an average $669.28 last year, the survey indicates families are spending 42 percent more on school-related items than 10 years ago.

School shopping

While shopping costs have been greater than at the start of the 2008 Great Recession, more people in the last three years have indicated the economy will not affect their backto-school shopping, according to the survey.

“I would say it is approximately the same way for the last few years,” Lowery said.

Crest Hill resident Michelle Izquierdo, who is shopping for

three K-12 students this year, said her back-to-school budget probably decreased because the oldest of her four kids has gone to college.

Two of Izquierdo’s children are at St. Raymond Catholic School, which has a program where the school gathers back-to-school items and a student’s parent or guardian picks up the supplies.

Some districts, including Plainfield School District 202, also have school supply kits available to order.

“It’s a little more pricey, but I don’t have to go through the hassle of price matching,” Izquierdo said as she shopped for a child who will attend Lockport Township High School.

Supply lists have become

slightly longer, but haven’t changed much since the recession started.

A third-grade supply list for Troy School District for the 2009-10 school year required a box of 24 crayons, a zipper pouch, eight dry-erase markers, pocket folders, glue sticks, an eraser, a pair of scissors, pencils, colored pencils, wide-ruled paper and notebooks, eight washable markers and a standard ruler, along with a backpack and gym shoes.

This year’s list for Troy Craughwell Elementary School third-graders requires the same items, but also includes highlighters, Post-it notes and a glue bottle.

The only difference between the 2009-10 and 2015-16

Technology and fees

The earbud requirement at District 202 is part of the increase of technology in classrooms. Districts have seen smartboards, one-to-one laptop integration and personal smartphones become a bigger part of the school experience.

But that hasn’t affected, for the most part, the content and cost of school supplies or student fees.

“The earbuds are probably the only thing on the school supply list that has anything to do with technology,” Woolwine said. “We use them when the students do some online testing through assessments.”

Woolwine, who started in the district as a teacher in 1997, said the recession forced the Board of Education and administration to make cuts.

See SUPPLIES, page 4

supply lists for third- to fifthgrade students at District 202 is the addition of pointed-tip scissors, an acrylic ruler and a pair of headphones or earbuds.

Joan Woolwine, District 202’s director of elementary and middle school curriculum and instruction, said supply lists are based on student and classroom needs, which haven’t changed much since the start of the recession.

“Our families buy so differently,” Woolwine said. “We encourage buying in packs and always try to keep the lists as cost-efficient as possible.”

Woolwine said individual schools’ parent-teacher organizations often hold fundraisers and promote sales to help keep costs down as well.

District 86 signup fees the same since 2003 • SUPPLIES

Continued from page 3 “Everyone worked diligently to keep the supply lists and school fees as reasonable as possible,” she said.

At the Troy District, school fees have increased twice since the recession started. The first increase for first to eighth grades was $136 to $150 a student for the 201213 school year.

The next year, grades five to eight saw a $50 increase, which accompanied the elimination of traditional fees for activities and clubs.

Plainfield School District 202

“Our costs continued to go up,” said Elaine Colombo, executive director of finance and operations for District 30-C. “The cost of milk and everything increased. We tried very hard not to pass it along to the parents. One of the last options is to raise fees.”

Joliet Public Schools District 86 has held the same student registration fees since 2003, said E. Wesley Russell, assistant superintendent for business and financial services.

School fees in Joliet have remained steady at $25 for kindergarten to fifth grade

and $45 for junior high students. Fees have been kept low since a greater percentage of students need financial aid assistance, Superintendent Charles Coleman said.

The district has been able to keep fees low, Coleman said, because of its good financial standing during the last decade.

“By design, we worked to keep it at a very low level,” he said. “We’re certainly sensitive to [the students with financial needs]. We made the appropriate adjustments so those financial means don’t serve as a barrier to overall student success.”

Joliet won the Colt League championship once, in 1961.

Babies, kids come back for a nursery reunion in Joliet

Need a Home Loan?

Talk with an Expert!

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Twins Logan and Alexia Bittner, age 3, made it to the reunion Saturday along with children from about 60 other families Saturday.

The reunion was for graduates of the Special Care Nursery at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in the last two and a half years.

Logan and Alexia have become somewhat famous since their graduation, since the Bittner family of Joliet is the 2015 Will County March for Babies Ambassador Family for March of Dimes.

Logan and Alexia were born in the 27th week of mom Rayanne’s pregnancy. They’re still small but catching up otherwise with the help of physical, occupational and speech therapy, mom said.

“They’re just slightly behind where they should be,” Rayanne Bittner said.

Her emergency delivery was “the scariest day of my life,” she said. But she and husband Ben, along with new baby Owen, were happy to be back at the hospital.

“It’s great,” Ben said of the reunion, which featured games, snacks and an Elsa impersonator from the Disney movie “Frozen.” But mostly it featured an opportunity for families and hospital staff to see each other again.

“I can’t say enough about the nurses who were with [Logan and Alexia] every single day,” Ben Bittner said.

Nurses, too, were happy to

“I can’t say enough about the nurses who were with [Logan and Alexia] every single day.”

Ben Biittner Father of Logan Bittner, Alexia Bittner see the babies and parents back, said Jill Weitendorf, manager of patient care for the Special Care Nursery and Family Birthing Suites.

“I think patients who have children in the Special Care Nursery really develop a bond with the nurses and doctors,” Weitendorf said. “The nurses get attached. It’s nice to have them come back.”

She said nurses put photos on the wall in the Special Care Nursery. One just graduated

from high school as valedictorian.

Nicole Martis of Joliet has sent photos of her son Blake, born only six months ago with low blood sugar levels but doing well now.

“All the nurses were really caring,” she said.

Dr. Shobhana Ravikumar, director of neonatology at Presence Saint Joseph, said babies may stay in the Special Needs Clinic for a few days or a few months depending on their condition. Some may return to the hospital for a follow-up clinic for up to two years.

But it was good to see all of them Saturday, Ravikumar said.

“This is to let the parent know that their children have not been forgotten,” she said.

“We still think of them. We want to know how they’re doing.”

“Drivers also need to make sure they follow the directions of school crossing guards. They aren’t asking you to stop – they’re telling you to stop, and there’s a reason they are.”

Dite said police officers typically are stationed at several locations in Morris to deter speeders with warnings and

citations when the school year begins. Feeney said Joliet and Shorewood police can monitor any ongoing issues when parents notify the district.

District 91 • Minooka School District 201 • Mokena School District 159 • Morris District 54 • New Lenox School District 122 • Rockdale School District 84 • Saratoga School • Seneca Township High School • Troy School District 30-C • Valley View School District 365-U Aug. 20 • Elwood School District 203 Aug. 24 • Providence Catholic High School • Cathedral of St. Raymond School • Will County School District 92 Aug. 25 • Summit Hill School District 161 Aug. 26 • Homer School District 33-C Sept. 8 • Taft School District 90 According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 21 percent of children who died in motor vehicle crashes in 2013 were

pedestrians, and those pedestrian crashes were more likely to occur in the late afternoon and evening hours. One-third of motorists in school zones or neighborhoods just “roll through” intersections with a stop sign, Dite said.

Most stop-arm violations occur from a driver approaching the bus, Feeney said. She said many drivers believe they can legally make a right turn when the bus is on the left side of the cross street. Stop-arm violations can result in a $150 fine and three-month driver’s license suspension.

“Red lights [on the bus] mean there are children in the area,” she said. “Before they come on, there are yellow lights. That’s [your] signal. The bus is preparing to make a stop.

Slow down. Be patient.”

Because bus drivers are not going to pull away from the stop until all passengers are seated, Feeney believes having parents go over proper conduct makes the process quicker and safer.

“Think of how many little distractions you can get from one kid riding behind you, and multiply that by 50. If your child stays seated and minimizes distractions, it helps the driver,” Feeney said.

Although motorist cellphone use in school zones has been banned for more than two years and hands-free devices became a requirement last year, Dite said violations continue.

“Distracted driving is so dangerous. Whether there are kids around or not. Wherever you’re driving, it is something our officers have no tolerance for,” Dite said.

• Sunday, August 9, 2015

Although everyone remembers the wheels on the bus go ‘round and ‘round, it takes a little effort to recall everything that happens as the bus’ stop sign comes out.

In the next few weeks, Will and Grundy counties will have motorists who haven’t seen school buses for a few months, bus drivers getting used to new routes and young pedestrians dealing with traffic on their own for the first time.

“Back to school is an adjustment for everybody,” said Lucille Feeney, assistant principal for transportation services of Troy Community Consolidated School District 30-C. About 3,600 of Troy’s 4,300 students ride the district’s 67 buses. Route information will be sent to parents this week.

Feeney said every effort is made to place stops at a corner or intersection to increase visibility and make them “righthand stops.”

“Should a child have to cross from the left side of the street, it’s ideal if there’s a parent to escort a younger student. The stop arm comes out, and the bus driver motions for them to cross,” Feeney said. “But for the first few days, there is that learning curve [where the child waits to go] until the driver gives the signal.”

Morris Police Chief Brent Dite said many districts have staggered start times, and children could be walking to school or a bus stop anytime between 7:30 and 8:45 a.m. weekdays.

“For someone heading out to the store and still seeing buses an hour later, it seems like a long time, and it’s the same schedule in the afternoon,” Dite said.

The speed limit in school zones is 20 mph and is in effect from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. when children are present. State Police Capt. Darryl Bogard urged drivers to be watchful for kids walking or riding a bike to school and darting out from between parked cars.

“Drivers also need to make sure they follow the directions of school crossing guards,” Dite said. “They aren’t asking you to stop – they’re telling you to stop, and there’s a reason

JOLIET – The family of an Elwood woman has sued an organ donation company they say has not returned her cremated remains.

The family of Kathleen McLaughlin filed a complaint Thursday in Will County court against Schiller Park-based Biological Resource Center of Illinois and affiliated companies, claiming that if McLaughlin’s cremation occurred, the center hasn’t delivered her ashes as agreed.

Attorney Michael Gahan, who is representing the family, said the lawsuit stems from an FBI investigation earlier this year that found Biological Resource Center was selling body parts.

A message on the company’s website indicates it closed July 31, but “will proceed with the burials of cremated remains in our donor memorial garden.”

Before McLaughlin died Nov. 29, she told her children she wanted to donate her lungs for medical research with the hope “scientists could learn something from her condition that might cure or ... ease the suffering of someone else,” Gahan said.

McLaughlin signed consent forms to donate her body, which required the defendant to cremate her remains after scientific study was performed and return the ashes to her daughter, according to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit stated Biological Resource Center staff told the family late last year an urn containing the remains would be delivered within 30 days.

In January, federal agents raided the crematorium to find thousands of body parts and tissue samples allegedly to be sold on the black market, according to media reports.

“We believe [the remains] that were found include Mrs. McLaughlin,” Gahan said.

The lawsuit accuses Biological Resource Center of intentional infliction of emotional distress, negligent infliction of emotional distress, wrongful disposition of a body, illegal disposition of remains and two counts of fraud. The lawsuit seeks a minimum of $50,000 in compensation. “[The family] is looking for closure,” Gahan said. “If there was to be a cremation, it hasn’t taken place, or the ashes need to be returned to the family.”

Coal City school board prepares funds for projects

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD hlitchfield@shawmedia.com COAL CITY – The Coal City Community Unit School District 1 board voted last week to transfer funds to pay for capital improvement projects that have been underway this summer.

A public hearing was held, and the board later voted unanimously to transfer $3.54 million from the Education Fund to the Operations and Maintenance Fund and $1.5 million from the Transportation Fund to the Operations and Maintenance Fund.

The resolution also authorized the transfer of $5.78 million from the Operations and Maintenance Fund to the Capital Projects Fund, Superintendent Kent Bugg said Friday.

Bugg said the transfer of funds was planned. The district keeps 50 percent of operating expenses in reserves, on average, and the fund balances had exceeded that goal. The use of those reserves is necessary to complete the capital projects planned.

“We previously had a finance committee meeting [which] suggested that while we have a property tax agreement with Exelon for their Dresden plant, that we should work on capital improvements,” Bugg said.

He said 68 percent of the district’s tax revenue comes from the Dresden plant, and

there is an agreement in place through 2018.

“The property tax agreement allows us to know what we will get in each year for the four years the agreement covers,” Bugg said.

The transferred money will be used to pay for the capital projects, including the roof replacement at the elementary and intermediate schools, and door replacement, electrical work and plumbing work at various district facilities.

Bugg said the roof replacement at the two schools is running a little behind schedule because of the weather in June, but the district expects it to be complete before Aug. 14, the first day of school.

“The transfers at the board meeting will pay for the roofing projects that cost the district about $3.5 million,” Bugg said. “We’ve had these projects on our schedule for three years.”

The board also discussed the addition of a new unit office to be built within the district, a goal the board has had for 10 years.

“The board has been discussing a new unit office but never felt it was a good time to do it,” Bugg said. “If the board is talking about getting the district ready for the next 20 years, the office is something that needs to be discussed.”

The district has reviewed plans for the new offices to go next to the middle school on Carbon Hill Road.

JOLIET – A man accused of killing a dog with a firecracker last month reportedly had fireworks in his trunk when police pulled him over Wednesday.

Nicholas A. Garcia, 24, also had three plastic bags of marijuana in the center console of his Pontiac Bonneville, Joliet Police Deputy Chief Al Roechner said.

At 6:22 p.m. Wednesday, officers said they saw the car driven by Garcia ignore a stop sign at Taylor and Center streets, then fail to signal a turn at Bridge Street.

Roechner said that after being signaled, Garcia eventually stopped the vehicle on Jackson Street, but officers saw him “shifting and moving toward the center console and smelled the odor of cannabis when they approached.”

Garcia admitted to having marijuana, and officers found

a firework mortar and two packages of “Nitro Bombs” while searching the vehicle, according to Roechner.

Garcia, of the 200 block of East Jackson Street, was charged with possession of fireworks, marijuana possession and traffic violations, and he was released on bond.

A 14-year-old passenger was released with no charges, police said.

On July 7, Garcia and another man were allegedly in the alley of the 200 block of East Jackson Street lighting quarter sticks and throwing them in a neighbor’s yard.

The neighbor’s dog reportedly picked one up, and it blew off the animal’s jaw. The pit bull had to be euthanized because of its injuries.

Garcia was charged with felony criminal damage to property after the incident.

He also has a pending criminal case alleging delivery of marijuana from an April 2014 arrest.

Joliet leans to buying Evergreen Terrace, but what next?

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said he expects the City Council to vote to buy Evergreen Terrace by a Sept.

1 deadline, but what happens after that is not clear.

“We’ve got to make a decision in the next two weeks,” O’Dekirk said Friday. “I think we know how that’s going to shake out.”

O’Dekirk said it has been apparent from public meetings on the matter and individual talks he has had with council members that most are in favor of the acquisition.

As of Friday, however, Joliet officials are not sure what happens if they do deliver a $15 million check by the court-ordered due date just three weeks away.

“There are so many questions still to be answered,” O’Dekirk said.

The mayor hopes some of those questions will be addressed Tuesday during a meeting of city officials, Evergreen Terrace lawyers and a federal mediator.

But city officials do not know if the property, which includes 356 low-income hous-

Evergreen Terrace housing complex is in the 300 block of North Broadway Street in Joliet. ing apartments, will become Joliet’s responsibility Sept. 1.

If it does, city officials have not decided who will run it.

Evergreen Terrace owners have filed notice that they intend to appeal a federal judge’s decision to award the property to Joliet after a 10-year eminent domain case. They also intend to appeal the jury-set

price of $15 million.

If Joliet does take over Evergreen Terrace on Sept. 1, there is no guarantee the city will keep it.

And even the $15 million price could be upped with a successful appeal.

Councilman Pat Mudron said it is hard to imagine paying $15 million for something

without getting complete control. Even so, Mudron plans to vote in favor of buying Evergreen Terrace.

“I think we need to control our own destiny,” he said, noting problems at the housing complex over the years.

Until last week, it has been assumed that once the city did take ownership, management

would be turned over to Holsten Real Estate Development and Management Corp., which has served as the city’s consultant.

But that changed when the Housing Authority of Joliet made a presentation to the City Council on its capacity to manage and redevelop Evergreen Terrace.

Councilman John Gerl said authority representatives “had a command of the situation when it comes to housing.”

“To be honest, I didn’t get that same comfort level from Holsten,” Gerl said.

Holsten made its presentation of four detailed plans for Evergreen Terrace on July 27.

Councilwoman Jan Quillman, who had been critical of Holsten previously for not being available before July 27, said, “I don’t think Holsten gave us what we paid them for.”

Quillman said the city needs to consider the authority as an option and supports buying Evergreen Terrace.

“This has been a long, 10year fight, and we don’t want to let go now,” she said. “We have to move forward.”

Will County to consider courthouse parking fee increase

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Those who park in the lot adjacent to the Will County Courthouse would pay $8 instead of $5 under a proposal being floated by the County Board aimed to help pay for a new courthouse facility.

“I’ve said it over and over again. We have to do our due diligence. We have to look at every revenue source possible for not just one but for many of our capital projects,” said board member Ragan Freitag, R-Wilmington. “We’re looking in every nook and cranny.”

The proposed fee increase is slated for discussion Thursday at the County Board’s Executive Committee meeting.

Will County receives about $400,000 annually from parking lot fees, Freitag said.

An increase from $5 to

“I think the City Council unanimously would feel it’s wrong to raise taxes for city residents to pay for a Will County building.”

Bob O’Dekirk Joliet mayor

$8 would generate close to $250,000 more a year.

The fee last was changed in 2003.

Freitag said county officials are looking at additional revenue sources for the courthouse after Joliet officials made it clear recently they can’t contribute funds to the project.

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said Friday both sides recently met informally, after the county asked if the city would pay $50 million over 25 years as an incentive for the coun-

ty to stay downtown. The city counteroffered with a $10 million incentive package.

“I thought it was a pretty substantial offer,” O’Dekirk said, adding he didn’t want to comment on specifics.

O’Dekirk said Joliet would have to raise taxes if the city were to provide the $50 million.

“We have Evergreen Terrace to worry about. We know casino revenues are going down. We have a governor who is threatening to hold back funds, and we had to

O’Dekirk said he hopes the city and county can reach a

compromise.

Freitag said she is considering a fee increase for the lot adjacent to the courthouse because there are less expensive options – including the nearby city parking garages, where people can park for 50 cents an hour.

MINOOKA – A mosquito collection from Minooka has tested positive for West Nile virus – the first detection of the virus in Grundy County this year, according to a news release from the Grundy County Health Department.

There have been two positive samples collected in Will County: The first was collected July 9 in Bolingbrook and the second between July 20 and 22 in Plainfield.

The Grundy County Health Department anticipates increased frequency of positive mosquito pools being detected the later into summer it gets, which raises the risk of disease transmission to the public, according to the news release.

Health officials encourage everyone to take steps to avoid becoming a victim of West Nile virus or other mosquito-borne viruses. The

Will County Health Department recommends avoiding outdoor activity during early dawn and dusk, when mosquitoes are most active.

Wearing shoes, socks, long sleeves and pants along with insect repellent while outside also is encouraged.

“Mild cases of West Nile infections may cause a slight fever or headache. More severe infections are marked by a rapid onset of a high fever with head and body aches, disorientation, tremors, convulsions and, in the most severe cases, paralysis or death,” according to the Illinois Department of Public Health.

These symptoms typically will appear between and three to 14 days after the bite of an infected mosquito.

The IDPH also states those who are 50 and older are at a higher risk.

For information, call the Grundy County Health Department at 815-941-3115.

JOLIET – A man being sought in connection with a recent mugging was carrying a gun and marijuana in his car early Friday, according to authorities.

Antwon Jamison, 23, of the 1300 block of Pequot Street, was taken into custody on armed robbery charges about 12:15 a.m., Joliet Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said.

About 9:10 p.m. July 28, a 26-year-old man was sitting in a parked car in the 600 block of Wheeler Avenue when a man opened his passenger door, threatened him at gunpoint and took his money and cellphone, according to Roechner.

The victim identified Jamison as the robber and a warrant was issued July 31 carrying a $50,000 bond, court records stated.

Tactical officers were in the 900 block of Lois Place early Friday when Jamison pulled into the parking lot in a tan Toyota Camry, according to Roechner.

“In the back seat was a .40-caliber handgun, Jamison had one live round in his pocket and there were 10 baggies containing 6 grams of cannabis,” Roechner said.

Jamison also was charged with unlawful use of a weapon and marijuana possession.

His passenger, Kendall R. Reed, 24, of the 1100 block of Ellen Avenue, was arrested on those charges and possession of a firearm by a street gang member, according to Roechner.

Both were booked into the Will County jail.

MORRIS

City of Morris holds off on East Street property purchase

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After an hour in executive session Friday, the Morris Water and Sewer Committee decided to make a counteroffer on a property it is interested in for storage needs priced at $325,000.

“I’ll be honest, $325,000 is too much,” Alderman Julian Houston said to the committee before the executive session.

The 15-year-old building is at 1394 East St., across from the Third Avenue water tower. The committee voted to recommend Mayor Richard Kopczick make a counteroffer, which was not disclosed publicly.

Alderman Jeff Wachowski wondered if it is a fair price for a half-acre in that area. Houston said he liked the building and location, but it needs add-

ed floor drainage, gutters and other small fixes. The building sold for $300,000 in 2005, $325,000 in 2006 and $305,000 in 2008, officials said in the meeting.

The city is interested in buying the property to help consolidate its Public Works operations. The hope is to store anything from holiday decorations to snowplows and lawnmowers in the building, Kopczick said. Storage at a building near the old community landfill is overflowing.

“You can’t fit a burp in there when they close the doors for the night,” Kopczick said.

Houston said before the executive session that a lot of time is wasted when employees must go to two or three different buildings for equipment and other needs.

The property owner is look-

ing to sell because he runs a business in Joliet and Morris and has decided his market is closer to Joliet. If the owner accepts the offer, it would be sent to the Finance and Administration Committee for a recommendation to the City Council.

A real estate representative was present at the meeting but could not negotiate for the owner, who was not present, Kopczick said.

The property is in Morris’ tax increment financing district. A TIF district is an area in which assessed property values are frozen at their current level. The difference in tax revenue generated between the frozen tax value and present-day value goes into a special TIF fund to be used for improvements to properties within the district.

The purchase would come out of the TIF fund.

LONDON, Ontario – Frances Kelsey, a Canadian doctor known for her tenacity in keeping a dangerous drug given to pregnant women off the U.S. market, has died at age 101.

She died Friday morning, less than 24 hours after receiving the Order of Canada in a private ceremony at her daughter’s home in London, Ontario.

Kelsey was a medical officer for the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in the early 1960s when she raised concerns about thalidomide, a drug that was being used in other countries to treat morning sickness and insomnia in pregnant women.

Despite pressure from the makers of thalidomide to approve the drug, she refused, and as a result, thousands of children were saved from crippling birth defects.

After the sedative was prescribed beginning in 1950, thousands of children whose mothers took the drug were born with abnormally short limbs and in some cases without any arms, legs or hips.

The birth defects were reported in Europe, Australia, Canada and Japan.

On Thursday, Kelsey received the insignia of Member of the Order of Canada to Kelsey.

Kelsey’s daughter, Christine Kelsey, said the ceremony originally had been scheduled for September but was held earlier because her mother’s health was deteriorating.

Thalidomide lawsuits have been filed across the world over the years.

In 2010, the British government officially apologized to people hurt by the drug, after earlier agreeing to pay $31 million to Thalidomide’s victims. In 2013, a class action suit by Australian and New Zealand victims of Thalidomide against the drug’s British distributor Diageo Scotland Ltd. was settled for $81 million.

He was an Owner/ Operator in Phoenix, Arizona for the past 32 years, and recognized multiple times as a premier licensee.

Gus served in the Army during World War II and was a dedicated Shriner.

Services will be held in Joliet at a later date.

Some students to take new science exam in 2016 The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A new online science exam that will be introduced to some students this coming school year signals a change in the way the subject is taught in Illinois.

The exams are based on Next Generation Science Standards, which cover topics like evolution and climate change, and are expected to be administered to Illinois students in fifth, eighth and 10th grades in April or May. The new standards were ad-

opted early last year as part of a multi-state effort to advance the science curriculum for students in kindergarten to 12th grade, the Chicago Tribune reported. The decision to create and administer the new exams also followed Illinois violating a federal law when the board of education decided last year not to give the longtime state science exam.

The news of the new science standards were somewhat overshadowed by new reading and math exams, called PARCC, which started up last school

year and prompted hundreds of families to opt their children out of state testing.

“I would guess the majority of parents have no idea that the science exam exists,” said Cassie Creswell, an activist who is against excessive testing and transferred her children out of Chicago Public Schools in part because of that. “I think parents already concerned about the time PARCC and prep for PARCC are taking will be unhappy to know that even more time will be taken up in fifth, eighth and 10th grade for yet an-

other standardized test.”

Educators know few other details about the new science exams, known as the Illinois State Science Assessment, because thousands of teachers statewide are still being trained. That’s raise some concerns about how students will perform when they take the exams in the spring, according to Carol Baker, who oversees science curriculum in Oak Lawn’s Community High School District 218 and is helping develop the state’s new science standards.

The focus in the new state

shifts away from memorization of facts and toward a deep analysis in key areas of science, according to Northwestern University professor Brian Reiser, who participated on a national committee to help guide creation of the new standards.

University of Illinois at Chicago professor James Pellegrino is co-chair of a national committee on developing assessments for the new standards.

The timing makes sense, Pellegrino said, because fourth, seventh and 11th graders will no longer take science exams.

Illinois opts out of offering own back-to-school sales tax holiday The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Shoppers in neighboring states such as Missouri and Iowa will enjoy a back-to-school sales tax holiday, but it won’t be offered to those in Illinois.

Illinois had its last summer sales tax holiday in 2010.

It won’t be among the nearly 20 states offering them this season.

“The General Assembly would have to pass legislation to put a back-to-school sales tax holiday in place,” said Terry Horstman, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Revenue.

In most states, the tax holiday has to be approved on an annual basis, and practices vary from state to state because some only suspend state tax and others also suspend local sales taxes, in addition to state tax.

But sales tax holidays can

be a contentious proposition.

Opponents of the practice say it causes state governments to lose tax revenue, while supporters say it helps both retailers and shoppers.

Rob Karr, chief executive of the Illinois Retail Merchants Association, said the state’s consumers took advantage of the last sales tax holiday in 2010, and retailers saw an increase in sales.

Also, when Illinois doesn’t implement a sales tax holiday, the state’s retailers “definitely lose to Iowa and Missouri, but particularly Missouri” because its holiday includes computers, Karr said.

One study determined the effect of a sales tax holiday on a state’s tax revenue is likely to be largely neutral, the Chicago Tribune reported.

“The loss of revenue on exempted items is made up from consumers buying slightly

more of taxable items and/ or pulling in consumers from border states without such holidays,” said Julie Heath, director of the Economics Center at the University of Cincinnati, which published a report titled “Economic Analysis of the Potential Effects of a Sales Tax Holiday in Ohio” in 2013.

“It primarily serves to transfer the timing of purchases from the month before or after to the exempt month,” she said.

The center estimated that overall retail sales in Ohio would rise by almost 5 percent over a three-day sales tax holiday, but the increase in sales tax would be offset by a decrease when the purchases would have been made otherwise, because of consumers shifting their shopping plans so they’re able to take advantage of the savings on backto-school items.

federal government to help those wanting to buy homes in 10 Illinois counties. As many as 4,000 would-be homeowners may be assisted through the program.

The money comes from the “Hardest Hit Fund” operated by the U.S. Treasury.

The housing agency said those who qualify may receive $7,500

in down-payment assistance with an interest rate that could be as low as 4.1 percent for a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage.

Applicants must contribute $1,000 or 1 percent of the purchase price –whichever is greater – and need a credit score of at least 640.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Trump barred from GOP meet after latest barb

ATLANTA – Donald Trump opened his mouth again and found the door closed to him Saturday at a high-profile gathering of conservative activists.

His latest incendiary comment, about one of the Fox News moderators from Thursday’s Republican presidential debate, led to a scolding by some of his rivals and the party, and condemnation by organizers of the RedState Gathering.

The billionaire businessman lashed out against Fox News’ Megyn Kelly for her questions during the campaign’s first debate. She had asked the candidate about his use of derogatory language toward women and whether it reflected the “temperament of a man we should elect as president.”

Referring to Kelly’s questions, Trump told CNN in an interview late Friday, “There was blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever.”

Soon after the interview aired, RedState’s Erick Erickson booted Trump from the event’s Saturday lineup.

Officials lift evacuations in California wildfire

CLEARLAKE OAKS, Calif. – All evacuations were lifted Saturday after cooler weather helped firefighters gain more ground against a Northern California wildfire that has forced hundreds of people

from their homes.

The blaze is 62 percent contained after sweeping through nearly 109 square miles of rural timberlands and brushy hills in Lake, Colusa and Yolo counties, Cal Fire said.

Prosecutor arraigned on criminal charges

NORRISTOWN, Pa. – Pennsylvania’s top prosecutor barely spoke at her arraignment Saturday on charges including a felony count of perjury, but her attorney stressed afterward that she has no plans to resign, despite growing pressure even among her fellow Democrats.

Attorney General Kathleen Kane did not enter a plea during the brief proceedings via closed-circuit television in suburban Philadelphia and only responded to the judge with yes or no.

She said nothing when she left and avoided a phalanx of news cameras by going out a side door.

Magisterial District Judge Cathleen Kelly Rebar set a preliminary hearing for Aug. 24 and set bail for $10,000 unsecured bond.

Kane is accused of leaking secret grand jury information through an operative to a newspaper reporter as payback for a former state prosecutor she thought made her look bad, and then lying about her actions under oath.

Michael Brown Sr. along with family and friends stop to pray Saturday at a memorial to Brown’s son before taking part in a parade in his son’s honor in Jennings, Mo. Sunday will mark one year since Michael Brown was shot and killed by Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson.

Michael Brown’s father says family still in mourning

By JIM SALTER and JIM SUHR The Associated Press FERGUSON, Mo. – On the eve of the anniversary of Michael Brown being shot and killed during a confrontation with a police officer, Brown’s father said Saturday that the family still mourns the 18-yearold’s death.

Several weekend events are planned to commemorate Brown’s death. Among them was a parade on Saturday led

by Michael Brown Sr., starting at the memorial on Canfield Drive in Ferguson that marks the site where Brown was fatally shot by former officer Darren Wilson on Aug. 9, 2014.

Time has not healed his wounds, Brown said before the procession, in which several hundred people, a drum corps and some cars joined in on the five-mile route to Normandy High School.

“At the end of the day, I still lost my boy,” he said. “I’m still

hurting. My family’s still hurting.”

Brown said the anniversary brings back all of the grief and raw emotions, but that it’s important to continue standing up to concerns about police brutality and the use of force. His son’s death helped spur a national “Black Lives Matter” movement. As the parade began, he took an armful of stuffed animals and placed them in the middle of the street where his son died.

The U.S. Justice Department and a St. Louis County grand jury cleared Wilson, who resigned in November, of wrongdoing. A separate Justice Department investigation of Ferguson’s justice system found evidence of a profit-driven court system and widespread racial bias by police.

Onlookers were mostly scattered in small clusters on Saturday. Ferguson interim Police Chief Andre Anderson stood alongside St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar and

Capt. Ron Johnson of the Missouri State Highway Patrol on West Florissant Avenue, waving to parade participants and shaking hands with some. The street was the site of protests, looting and riots in the aftermath of Brown’s death.

A vocal group of about 30 people marching in the parade began chanting “Hands up!

Don’t shoot!” as they neared the officers, then “Pigs in a blanket fry like bacon.” Otherwise, the crowd was peaceful.

Police presence was limited mostly to officers at intersections keeping traffic away from the parade, and there were no immediate reports of confrontations.

Darius Simpson, 22, made the trip to Ferguson from Eastern Michigan University for the weekend and was in the parade. Simpson, who is black, said he had never been an activist until Brown’s death, but said a visit to Ferguson last year during the height of the unrest changed him.

3,000 evacuated as fires burn for 3rd day in Spain

MADRID – Strong winds have fanned wildfires that have raged out of control for three days in southwestern Spain and made firefighting difficult, forcing the evacuation of 3,000 inhabitants, officials said Saturday.

Some 1,000 residents were evacuated from the town Hoyos in the early hours of the morning after overnight winds “reversed all yesterday’s firefighting achievements,” said Extremadura regional government president Guillermo Fernandez Vara.

Fernandez Vara said more than 25 square miles had burned since flames were detected Thursday in the Sierra de Gata – a region of outstanding natural beauty.

KABUL, Afghanistan – A series of attacks that killed at least 44 people and wounded over 300 in one day has shattered the relative calm of Afghanistan’s capital, even as some had hoped fledgling negotiations with the Taliban and the death of their figurehead could bring peace.

The attacks Friday in Kabul marked the highest number of civilians killed and wounded in a single day, according to the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan, which began keeping its statistics in 2009. Even Saturday, as Afghans protested the violence and donated blood to victims, people remained on edge.

“I feel danger even now, right now as we are talking,” said Kabul resident Mohammad Naeem. “And when I see the crowd of people I think maybe

a suicide attack will take place with a car bomb or on a motorbike. Anything is possible.”

Lawton Chiles on how to catch hogs

Dear Mr. Berko: Back in 2002 or 2003, you wrote a column about herding sheep and related that to Congress. I don’t remember the specifics of that column, but it was sort of a parody of how Congress is able to easily pass so many bills that control the way we live.

Most of us, like sheep, follow along with hardly any complaining. That column was a masterpiece, and I’d appreciate a rewrite because I’d like to share it with some friends. – HS, Oklahoma City Dear HS: The column you refer to was about feral hogs, not sheep. The credit belongs to Florida’s Lawton Chiles.

Chiles, fondly known as the He-Coon, was the governor and a U.S. senator. He passed away in 1998. He was only 68 when he passed, and Chiles was one of the few politicians whose death caused me to feel sad.

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Chiles told the following story to a group of businessmen in 1985, and here’s my paraphrase of how it may have sounded: “While I was having an intense discussion about Congress with a Florida Cracker I’ve known for over 30 years, he suddenly changed topics and challenged me with a question: ‘Do you know how we catch hogs here in the Panhandle, senator?’ I was flummoxed by the abrupt change in conversation. But I knew quite a bit about animal husbandry and gave him a darn good answer. He smiled appreciatively and then said, ‘That ain’t what I had in mind.’

“Then he proceeded to

give me his answer. “‘First,’ he said, ‘you gotta pick a fine open spot in these here woods and seed it with corn. Them hogs can’t see good, but they can smell that corn a mile in any direction.

And pretty soon, they starts comin’ every day to feast ’cause it sure beats rootin’ and searchin’ for food. “‘Then when them hogs gets real comfortable comin’ every day for the easy corn, you build a sturdy 40-foot fence wall down one side of the open woods where them hogs is used to comin’. The fence wall will make them hogs a little shy, but after a few days, they’ll come round back again to eat the easy corn. And when them hogs starts paying no mind to that 40-foot section you built, you build another 40-foot section.

They’ll shy away for a time, but they’ll soon be comin’ back. And you continue to do

this until you have all four sides of the fence built, with a swing gate on the final side.

And now you got yourself a big corral. “‘Well, them hogs sure ain’t the smartest animals in them woods, but they sure is used to the easy corn and will soon be comin’ through the gate. And when enough of them comes through, you slam the gate shut, and you now got yourself a big swine herd easy as blackbird pie.

Them hogs will get excited and run around the corral gruntin’, squealin’ and pawin’, but they won’t be able to push themselves past that sturdy fence. So it don’t take long till they go back to eatin’ that easy corn. And it don’t take long till them hogs is so accustomed to the easy corn that they forget how to forage for themselves.’ Welcome to captivity.

“And this is precisely

Medicaid Services.

Presence Home Care-Joliet received four stars. These new ratings for more than 12,000 home care agencies are detailed at www.medicare.gov/ homehealthcompare.

The ratings received by the agencies exceeded Illinois and national averages of 3.5 and 3 stars, respectively, for comparable health care organizations, according to a news release from Presence.

In the new rating system, “Quality of Patient Care Star Ratings,” CMS ranked agencies in nine of 29 quality areas based on assessments the home health agencies made on their own patients.

The areas used to develop the ratings included: timeliness of care, management of medications, increased mobility and key health status improvements. The new federal rating system is designed to

help consumers quickly identify qualitative differences in home care delivery.

The rating system, to be updated on a quarterly basis, is a part of a larger effort by the Department of Health and Human Services to transform the health care system to deliver better care, and put patients in the center of their care to keep them healthy.

what’s happening in our country today. Washington has become Big Daddy for most Americans. Washington provides crop, housing, fuel, food and mortgage subsidies.

Washington provides health insurance, drug and employment training programs.

Washington determines bank lending criteria, workplace hiring practices, tells us what foods we can eat, runs our public school system and tells the farmer what crops he can produce.”

Chiles told that story 30 years ago, and a lot more water has gone over the dam since then. He was certainly prophetic, and if Chiles were alive today, I think he’d turn over in his grave.

BUSINESS BRIEFS Local residents selected as 2015 Edgar Fellows

JOLIET – Three residents of Will and Grundy counties took part last week in a public policy program led by former Gov. Jim Edgar. In its fourth year, the Edgar Fellows initiative seeks to inspire bipartisan, inter-regional cooperation in addressing major challenges for the state in the years and decades ahead.

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, were among the 40 people who took part.

The women and men, chosen from more than 140 nominees, reflect the regional, political, racial and ethnic diversity of Illinois, according to a news release. They include elected and appointed officials from all levels of government as well

as individuals who have made their mark in the business world and civic engagement.

“Since we launched this initiative in 2012, we have seen Democrats, Republicans and independents, from the neighborhoods in Chicago to the rural areas of deep southern Illinois, discover they have much in common even as they develop an appreciation for other viewpoints,” Edgar said in the news release. “I am confident this class of fellows also will form bonds that will serve them and our state well as they climb the leadership ladder.”

New development breaks ground at CenterPoint

JOLIET – A groundbreaking was held in July for a 1,114,575-square-foot new development at the CenterPoint Intermodal Center in Joliet.

The build-to-suit, cross-loaded distribution facility for Saddle Creek Logistics Services will be situated on approximately 60 acres, with ample space for car and trailer parking, according to a news release from CenterPoint.

Saddle Creek’s new property is located less than two miles from the entrance to Union Pacific’s Joliet Intermodal Terminal and adjacent to the interstate highway.

The building will include a 32-foot clear height, 132 dock doors, four drive-in doors, 373 car parking stalls, 328 trailer stalls, and 14,108 square feet of office space.

Saddle Creek Logistics Services already leases a 590,000-square-foot facility from CenterPoint’s Elwood intermodal.

The project has provided nearly 200 construction jobs, and CenterPoint and Saddle Creek estimate that 200 permanent employees will be necessary to fill roles in manufacturing and assembly, as well as warehouse labor, at the project’s completion, according to the news release.

OUR VIEW

Remap group off to promising start In May, the Independent Map Amendment Coalition announced its petition drive to establish a nonpartisan independent redistricting commission in Illinois. To say that the effort has gotten off to a fast start is something of an understatement.

Last week, only three months after launch, the group announced it had collected more than 210,000 signatures toward its goal of 600,000 signatures, which is twice the number required by law to have a constitutional amendment placed on the ballot. And that number is a substantial increase from the 95,000 signatures reported just July 20.

The news follows the group’s hiring of veteran reform advocate Cindi Canary in June to lead the coalition’s campaign.

And a week after Canary’s arrival, the U.S. Supreme Court, ruling in Arizona State Legislature v. Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission, upheld the constitutionality of independent redistricting commissions of the type that the Independent Map Amendment would create in Illinois.

The cards seem to be falling in favor of the petition drive – the third attempt since 2010 to take legislative redistricting out of the hands of politicians and place it under the control of an independent commission charged with drawing maps without regard to incumbency or partisanship.

That’s what Illinois desperately needs – legislative districts that aren’t drawn to protect incumbents or parties, but to foster electoral competition and legislators’ account-

ability to the voters.

What happens when lawmakers aren’t accountable?

Well, we’re in the 41st day of having no state budget for fiscal year 2015-16.

That’s what happens.

Last November, 82 of our state representatives and senators had no opponents on the ballot, because their districts were considered so “safe” that no opponents bothered to mount fruitless campaigns against them. Such lack of accountability not only is an affront to democracy. It aids and abets dysfunctional government of the variety we now see in Springfield.

Majority Democrats drew the 2011 district boundaries to their advantage – the same thing Republicans did in 1991 when they totally controlled the process. Clearly, it’s time to take the power to draw district lines away from politicians.

Fast starts don’t guarantee success. Independent Maps still has about 400,000 signatures to collect before the deadline in early May 2016.

Getting ready for the new school year at District 202 The start of each new school year is always an adventure – usually exciting, sometimes challenging.

The 2015-16 school year, which starts for us Aug. 13, promises to be an adventure in both senses for District 202 and our community.

Locally, the news is good.

We are very excited to announce that District 202 will finally implement a fullday kindergarten program in 2016-17 – even though it will be a limited program at first.

We have wanted to make this move for several years.

Our community identified

GUEST VIEW Lane Abrell full-day kindergarten as a top priority in 2011 as part of the current five-year Strategic Plan, and we’ve been working on it ever since.

Unfortunately, we just didn’t have the physical space in our 17 elementary schools to accommodate hundreds of kindergarten students for a full day, or the money to hire dozens of new kindergarten teachers.

Our growth has slowed

enough to free up the equivalent of 17 classrooms – one per elementary school – to use for the new full-day kindergarten program.

Unfortunately, we still don’t have all the money we need for new staff, so we’re going to charge a small tuition to help offset the costs associated with the new program.

And, more good news – based on our best information, we expect more classrooms to become available in the next few years as our growth continues to shift away from the elementary

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR More regulations will eventually fix economy

To the Editor: In the U.S. federal bureaucracy, things are really booming.

Employment is up, new regulations from our president’s executive orders and recent legislation are voluminous, the Federal Reserve is printing new money to pay for it all – all is good in big government.

I grew up in the ‘50s when we didn’t have much big government other than to build Interstate 80 and promote trade. Then some big box businesses got started – Wal-Mart was the first.

My little downtown, with its drug store, grocery, hamburger joint and hardware store, was soon gone, and its replacement was at some major intersection far from downtown and I wasn’t allowed to ride my bike there.

Between this change, TV, and home air conditioning, the sidewalks and porches were empty and small town life became something that George Bailey, and many of us, wanted to shake off our shoes.

Something is changing.

As Big Government reaches deeper into every area of life with regulations and reporting requirements; when, with their track record of unsuccessful programs, their highest aim is to control the climate – resourceful Americans will find a way around living life in “District 12” in a real-life “Hunger Games” without letting the

privileged, skimming Washington “Capitol” elite choke every last dime out of us.

People will return to their small towns with their small gardens and their mom-andpop businesses, to bartering for tax-free services, to farmer’s markets and flea markets, to each other.

The Big Box stores will be brought to their knees eventually by government regulations and our vibrant downtowns may return. We children of the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s created this mess by not watching close enough, not being involved, not thinking our one vote could make a difference.

As voting government employees and voting illegal aliens together exceed 50 percent of the population, it may now be too late.

Our answers will be in our neighborhoods, our churches, and our families. Keep them close and get back on the porch.

Support Bernie Sanders

To the Editor: Twelve enthusiastic supporters of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders met on a recent Wednesday night in Joliet to add our efforts to his burgeoning campaign.

We were part of an Internet rally that drew more than 100,000 citizens in 3,500 meetings in every state of the union.

Sanders has an outstanding record of supporting the common folks, and has the guts to tell the truth about the economic inequality that is destroying the American dream.

His is the voice of reason amid a loud circus of greedy blowhards and liars. Bernie is calling for fiscal and social policies that are moral, humane and realistic.

To provide further information, a new Facebook page is now online. It is Will County Citizens for Bernie.

lavishing money on special interests while sending the bill to the poor and their children and grandchildren for generations to come.

I know of nothing more immoral than living “high on the hog” and expecting someone else’s grandchildren to pay for it; but that is exactly what Madigan and his puppets have been doing for years. It has to stop.

Attacks on Rauner unfounded

To the Editor: It was very discouraging to read the unfounded attacks on Gov. Bruce Rauner made by state Rep. Larry Walsh in his recent letter to the editor.

Mr. Walsh expresses concern for those in need. That’s good.

But then he blames their very real plight on our new governor instead of on Michael Madigan and his cronies, who for years and years have plundered the state of Illinois for their own profit and power.

I submit that Mr. Walsh should have the political courage to stand up to his corrupt Boss Madigan, and work with the governor to stop piling up impossible debt for future generations.

Do you really care about the poor, Mr. Walsh? Then stop

To the Editor: Thinking I was smart, I submitted my name to the “do not call” list. Later, when you call them to complain about calls, they want detailed information.

I became tired of their detailed questions and discontinued complaining. Now, when I receive an unwanted call, I politely tell them that I am on the “do not call” list. If they continue speaking, I pick up my whistle and blow it in their ear, and then hang up.

The calls not wanted have stopped.

What is a hero?

To the Editor: It’s a miniscule number of things that Donald Trump and I can agree on, so he won’t get

my vote for anything. I signed John McCain’s petition in 1999 to run for the Republican nomination. He has changed, and I haven’t been his fan since.

After stating my bias against both people, I must say I agree with Trump on McCain and what defines a hero. Sports figures aren’t heroes. Few politicians are heroes. Few in the military, law enforcement, firemen and other professions are heroes.

The definition of hero I grew up with is simple. You put your life on the line to save someone else’s life. Those professions I listed above are paid to do their job. They may be scary jobs at times, but they are paid to do that job. A hero takes that huge extra step to save someone when chances of surviving are low.

A hero jumps on the grenade to save others, not the one who picks it up and throws it away – that is self-preservation. Tim McCarthy’s jumping in front of Reagan and taking a bullet – that’s heroism.

The ministers who gave their life vest to five sailors on a sinking destroyer were a heroic action. A mother lying across her child to protect it from bullets or fire – that’s expected but heroic.

You may not agree with this definition, but most people are tired of the overuse of this very special term.

Precarious state of Ill. finances puts district in tough position • GUEST VIEW

Continued from page 37 level and upward to the middle and high schools.

We also will continue to study some other options that would provide more space sooner, but would require significant change and/or cost.

However, the educational picture remains a bit murkier at the state and national

levels.

Once again, we start the school year unsure of what the state of Illinois will do with funding. We have worked very hard to create a preliminary 2015-16 budget that is balanced for the third straight year, holds the line on new expenses and meets the needs of our students, staff and community while respecting the limits of our community’s resources.

Yet all of that work could

be undone if the state does not meet its financial obligations. As I write this, the governor and the two legislative leaders still haven’t agreed on even the framework of a state budget, much less on specifics. So we wait, like everyone else, to see where things will end up.

We also are waiting to see what will happen with standardized testing. We have worked for several years of work to implement the new

state Common Core learning standards, create a new local curriculum and new assessments and train our staff, students and community around Common Core.

Now the federal government appears to be moving back to a “new” No Child Left Behind-type law and system.

As with the state funding situation, we can’t do much but wait to see what happens.

Still, no matter what happens in Springfield or

Washington, D.C., we will always do everything we can to provide District 202 students, staff and families with the best possible services and support in 2015-16 and beyond.

Together, we will continue to prepare learners for the future.

SATURDAY’S GAME: FLORENCE 4, SLAMMERS 2 (10 INN.)

Florence strikes late, overcomes Slammers

By MIKE FITZGERALD Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Florence rallied from a 2-0 deficit in the ninth inning to tie the Slammers and then scored two runs in the 10th to beat Joliet, 4-2, Saturday in front of 3,293 fans at Silver Cross Field.

Florence pinch-hitter Mason Salazar bounced a single over the drawn in Slammers’ infield to score the go-ahead run in the top of the 10th inning giving the Freedom (3437) a 3-2 lead. Daniel Fraga and Zac Mitchell followed with back-to-back singles to make it 4-2.

Florence scored two runs in the top of the ninth inning off Slammers closer Navery Moore to send the game into extra innings tied at 2.

Moore entered the ninth with a 2-0 lead, but he walked lead-off hitter Steve Carrillo before giving up back-to-back singles to Fraga and Mitchell.

Mitchell’s hit scored Carrillo.

Sam Eberle followed with a single to score Fraga with the tying run. Moore then struck out the next three Freedom hitters to end the inning.

Center fielder Phil Bates put Joliet (28-43) on the board in the bottom of the fourth

Florence right fielder Andrew Godbold got a glove on it, but he could not hang on to it. As Bates raced around second heading for third, Godbold’s throw sailed over the cutoff man and into left field, allowing Bates to score to make it 1-0. Godbold was charged with two errors on the play.

Slammers catcher Jack

Cleary broke up left-hander Zach Wendorf’s no-hitter in the bottom of the fifth inning with a solid single to left field.

The Slammers added to their lead in the bottom of the sixth when Bates led off with a single to left. The hit extended Bates’ hitting streak to seven games. Nate Roberts followed with another single to left, moving Bates to second.

A walk to Alfredo Rodriguez

loaded the bases with no one out. Joe Staley’s sacrifice fly to center scored Bates to make it, 2-0.

Joliet starter Andrew Strenge threw seven solid innings. He entered with a 6-5 record. The Freedom threatened in the top of the sixth inning when they had runners on second and third with one out.

Strenge induced Zack Burling into a groundout to third base-

man Mike Garza, then retired Steve Carrillo on a fly out to left fielder Marc Flores.

Right-hander Luke Crumley entered in the top of the eighth inning in relief of Strenge. He retired Collins Cuthrell on a groundout, walked Godbold and struck out Ozzy Gonzalez. Godbold stole second and third before Crumley struck out Burling to end the inning.

FRIDAY’S GAME: FLORENCE 2, SLAMMERS 1

Fifth inning spells doom for Medick, Slammers

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Before Friday’s series opener against the Florence Freedom on “Princess Night” at Silver Cross Field, Slammers manager Jeff Isom cited one main reason why his team was 13 games below .500 and saddled with the second-worst record in the Frontier League.

“The starting pitching has gone flat,” he said. “We have a good bullpen. We’re something like 19-3 when we get to the fifth inning with the lead. We need to get a better job from our starters.”

Isom noted the starting pitch-

ing often has delivered three or so good innings, but then things begin to unravel.

Friday night’s starter, recent acquisition Spencer Medick, a left-hander who was making his third appearance and second start, fell into the pattern Isom described. He faced the minimum 12 batters through four innings and was nursing a 1-0 lead when wildness struck in the fifth.

Medick walked two of the first three hitters that inning before Ozzy Gonzalez dropped a single in front of left fielder Hunter Ridge to load the bases with one out. That was the first hit off Medick, who then hit con-

secutive batters, the Nos. 8 and 9 hitters in Florence’s lineup, to force in the tying and go-ahead runs.

Kevin McNorton, who has been outstanding all season, relieved and induced a neat inning-ending double play started by second baseman Max Casper to keep the Slammers within 2-1.

However, despite 42/3 innings of one-hit, shutout relief by the McNorton and David Kubiak tandem, Florence prevailed, 2-1, before 3,508 fans as the Freedom managed to win while being limited to two hits.

The Slammers, who fell to 28-42, got off to a good start offensively against left-hander

Patrick McGrath. With one out in the first inning, Nate Roberts was hit by a pitch and Alfredo Rodriguez singled.

Joe Staley, a switch-hitter who was a Frontier League AllStar last season with Florence and then played with River City before spending most of this season with Fargo in the American Association, ripped an RBI single to left for a 1-0 Slammers lead.

“Staley is a big bat to add to the middle of our lineup,” Isom said. “The top of our lineup has been pretty consistent. More consistency from the bottom would help.”

The run Staley drove home

was all the Slammers could muster. A failed double-steal attempt ended the first inning.

Mike Garza hit a two-out double in the fourth and Roberts walked and stole second with two outs in the eighth. They were the only Joliet runners to reach second base over the final eight innings.

“We have to continue to be creative – hit-and-run, steal, do things to put pressure on the defense,” Isom said.

The Slammers, who finished with six hits, two by Rodriguez, have lost leadoff man Charlie White, who is out for the season after having surgery for a torn labrum.

VIEWS Dick Goss starter has gone seven innings.

“Yet, that’s not just our problem. I think it’s a problem throughout this [Frontier] league and around all of professional baseball.”

In affiliated ball, organizations have the opportunity to groom pitchers they sign.

If you’re in independent ball, you see a pitcher throw an inning or two at a showcase, and you must draw conclusions.

“We see a guy air it out, throw one inning at 93 mph,” Isom said. “We get him and try to make him a starter and we find out he’s not capable of starting. His secondary pitches aren’t good enough.

“In the same way, major league clubs are looking for guys who can start. I’ll sometimes get calls from major league organizations wondering if I have seen any starting pitchers they might be interested in signing.”

About a decade ago, Isom managed the Joliet JackHammers. His standout left-hander, Brian Mazone, returned to affiliated ball and nearly got all the way to the major leagues.

He was called up from Triple A to pitch a game for the Phillies in September of 2006. It got rained out and he never got

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Joliet Slammers starter Andrew Strenge pitches against the Florence Freedom on Saturday at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. another opportunity. Still, he was that close.

Pitchers, and the number of pitches they can throw, are different these days.

“Brian Mazone could throw 120 pitches, no problem,” Isom said. “We are having problems getting guys to 100, or even 80 at times.

“You can find relievers all over the place, guys who throw in the 90s and come in and pitch an inning or two.

But even Major League Baseball is looking for starters.”

Isom believes rest is key, and lack of it has had an effect.

“Nowadays, guys are going nonstop, but there is no question the body needs rest,”

he said. “Even major league pitchers don’t pick up a ball after the season until January or even February. Rest is more important than throwing all the time.

“A 14-year-old kids throws 75 pitches, fine. But is that kid resting his arm the next four or five days, or is he playing third base, or shortstop or catcher and having to make hard throws?”

Isom said he likes to see kids play multiple sports.

When Jake Odorizzi, a good starting pitcher with the Tampa Bay Rays, came out of Highland High School in southern Illinois, the Brewers drafted him in the first round.

“I managed Jake Odorizzi for a while,” Isom noted. “Our scout, Harvey Kuenn [Jr.], scouted him playing football.

He was a slot receiver. Kuenn wanted see how he competed in another sport.”

Isom feels it helped Odorizzi as a pitcher to spend time in football, where he was competing but largely was resting his golden arm, rather than throwing more.

Yes, the way pitchers are being developed these days is different. Isom understandably questions whether it’s better.

AREA ROUNDUP

Sanchez delivers, but Prairie Gravel falls in final SUBMITTED REPORTS FARMINGTON, New Mexico – Strange, but true.

Prairie Gravel of Chicago – whose roster included Cristian Sanchez (Minooka), Matt Vanek (Plainfield North), Cole Bellair (Lockport), Austin Moralis (Lockport) and Robert Talarico (Joliet West) – reached the championship game of the Connie Mack World Series before falling to the East Cobb Yankees from Marietta, Georgia, 7-5.

But it wasn’t the score as much as how the story unfolded.

Friday night began with three teams having one loss, and Prairie Gravel beat Cincinnati Midland, 13-7, to reach the title game against East Cobb. That game was scheduled to begin at 5:30 p.m. MT, but with a two-hour rain delay included, it ended at nearly 10:30, according to an online report.

East Cobb had to catch a 1:30 a.m. bus from Farmington

to Albuquerque in order to be on time for its early-morning flight back to Georgia. The pregame agreement was that if the title game reached the fifth inning by 1 a.m., the team leading would be the winner.

If not, co-champions would be declared.

East Cobb was leading, 7-2, entering the bottom of the fourth and tried to end the inning quickly by making outs intentionally. The fifth inning began two minutes before 1.

Prairie Gravel scored three

The Joliet Slammers entered this weekend’s series against the Florence Freedom at Silver Cross Field with the second-worst record in the Frontier League.

No, things have not gone as planned. And one issue that has plagued the Slammers most has infected every level of baseball, on up through the major leagues.

Slammers manager Jeff Isom, who pitched in every role imaginable during his collegiate and professional playing days, discussed the situation before Friday night’s series opener.

“We have had guys in our starting rotation who have a good history,” he said. “But for one reason or other, they’ll pitch three good innings and then a couple not so good.”

The Slammers, Isom said, entered the weekend “something like 19-3 when we get to the fifth inning with a lead.”

That’s a credit to a very good bullpen. The problem has been reaching that point with any regularity.

“When I pitched, I would be upset with myself if I didn’t go at least seven innings or throw 120 pitches,” said Isom, who played parts of seven seasons in professional baseball before becoming a professional coach and manager, including five seasons in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. “I’d be surprised if we have had 10 starts this season where our

Morris’ DeGraaf handling changes well in pro life

By ROB OESTERLE

Morris graduate Josh DeGraaf has been adjusting to life as a professional baseball player in the Toronto Blue Jays organization after graduating from Taylor University.

DeGraaf is 1-0 with a save and a 4.64 ERA between Bluefield and Vancouver in the Toronto Blue Jays organization this summer.

roesterle@shawmedia.com VANCOUVER, British Columbia – When Morris graduate Josh DeGraaf was selected by the Toronto Blue Jays in the 31st round in the Major League Baseball Draft in June, he knew his life was going to change.

Just how much remained to be seen, however.

After spending some time at the Blue Jays rookie camp in Lakeland, Florida, then with the Bluefield (Virginia) Blue Jays in the Rookie League, DeGraaf currently is a relief pitcher for the Vancouver Canadians in the Northwest League in Class A Short Season. Combine that with his senior baseball season at Taylor University, and DeGraaf has made four stops along his 2015 summer baseball trek.

Yet all of that doesn’t bother him in the least.

“There have been a lot of changes this summer,” DeGraaf laughed. “But I love it. I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.”

For a lot of first-year pros, the adjustment from a regimented life to one with a seemingly limitless freedoms can be a tough one. They go from a scheduled life of school to practice or game to home to living on their own and having to make their own decisions.

“The lifestyle is definitely a change from college,” DeGraaf said. “That’s one of the main things they talked to us about at rookie camp and in Bluefield. They want you to learn the mental aspects of the lifestyle of a baseball player. They teach you to act like a professional because this is your job now. Some of the guys there are fresh out of high school, and it’s their first time away from home, so it’s a big adjustment.

“Up here in Vancouver, we have a lot of guys who played in college or are in their second or third year in the pros, so there it isn’t talked about as much.

You are just expected to know it and conduct yourself accordingly. I spent last summer playing in California, so I was kind of used to being away from home. But now, this is my job.

All my focus and attention is on

baseball. I don’t have classes to think about, but I have to pay more attention to other things.

Meals are a big thing. Making sure you are eating the right things, stuff like that.”

DeGraaf noted that Vancouver is a city that loves its baseball, and the players on the Canadians live with host families.

“I live about 25 minutes from the park,” he said. “I have never been a big go-outand-party type of guy, so I don’t have to worry about that much.

I like to get done with my game, get home, talk to my family and just relax at home.

“We draw about 6,000 fans a game. There weren’t anywhere close to 6,000 people on my campus at Taylor, and we were getting maybe 200 to a game in Bluefield. It was definitely

a big change when I came into a game the first time in Vancouver. The heart was beating pretty hard.”

On the field, DeGraaf faces another change. He has gone from knowing which day he would pitch as a starter to the more uncertain world of the bullpen.

“You kind of figure out what situations they like to use you in,” he said. “For the most part, I have been a long reliever, so if a starter doesn’t make it too far into the game, I will come in and throw two or three innings. If you throw two innings or more, they generally give you the next day or two off, but every time you hear that walkie-talkie go off in the bullpen, your heart starts going and you think your name is going to get

“It was definitely a big change when I came into a game the first time in Vancouver. The heart was beating pretty hard.”

Josh DeGraaf Morris grad playing with the Vancouver Canadians called. You have to be ready.

“I was thrown into a save situation the other day, and that was the first time I had done that. The plan is the same.

You want to execute that next pitch. But, the nerves are a little different.”

So far, between Bluefield and Vancouver, DeGraaf has posted a 1-0 record with one save and a 4.64 in 11 appearances.

He has thrown 211⁄3 innings and allowed 24 hits, while striking out 18 against five walks.

“When I come in, I want to make the other team hit me to beat me,” he said. “I don’t

want to give them free bases with walks. It’s a little different warming up so quickly, so you have to make sure your arm is loose and you’re comfortable with one of your off-speed pitches. Usually, I go with a fastball and a changeup when I come in; but if I know there are a lot of righties, I will try to get the slider going, too.

“Mostly, though, I try to spot my fastball and get outs.

I just try to work on the things I can control. One thing about the pros is that the hitters will let you know if you made a mistake.”

DeGraaf is enjoying his life, no matter how much it has changed.

“I get a lot of emails and voicemails from people back in Morris or from college,” he said. “They tell me they are following me and that I am living the dream.

“I just love baseball. I am not a bonus baby, and we don’t make a lot of money to throw around. But, there are worse ways to make a living, that’s for sure.”

CUBS 8, GIANTS 6

Under police investigation, Hawks’ Kane hires lawyer

Bryant homers, knocks in 3 in Cubs’ victory

By JOHN WAWROW The Associated Press

AP file photo

Blackhawks right wing Patrick Kane celebrates June 15 after defeating the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final series at the United Center. The NHL says it is “following developments” of a police investigation involving Kane. spokesman Brandon Faber said Kane would spend the day with the Stanley Cup in Buffalo, but would do so with in private with his family and friends. That’s a switch after Kane paraded the trophy around his hometown the previous two times he helped the Hawks win the title in 2010 and ’13.

Kane canceled a night-time private party scheduled to be hold at a popular rooftop bar in downtown Buffalo.

Just after 5 p.m., bar staff loaded bags of buns and numerous large tin bins of food into the back of a pickup truck and transported them to

Kane’s home where the party took place instead. The pickup truck was allowed in through the front gates, and numerous cars were spotted parked on the lawn of the recently built home on the shore of Lake Erie.

A neighbor said someone posted a few signs – one of which she said read: “I wouldn’t kiss the Cup” – across the street from Kane’s home. Those signs, however, were taken down by evening, and only their taped remnants remained.

Other events were canceled altogether once the police investigation became public Thursday.

CHICAGO – Kris Bryant belted a long home run. Addison Russell had his second career three-hit day. Kyle Schwarber collected two more hits, and Jorge Soler extended his hitting streak to eight games.

These talented rookies on the Cubs look quite comfortable in the heat of an August playoff race.

Bryant drove in three runs, Russell had an RBI single in the Cubs’ threerun eighth inning, and the surging Cubs beat the San Francisco Giants, 8-6, on Saturday.

“We have a lot of confidence,” Bryant said. “I think our bats are turning it around a little bit. Our pitchers start doing what they did all year, and I mean, I think it’s looking pretty bright.” the Cubs big day powered Chicago to their third straight win and ninth in 10 games. He also walked and scored on Miguel Montero’s tiebreaking single in the fifth as the Cubs opened a 2∏-game lead over San Francisco in the chase for the second NL wild card.

Bryant’s two-run shot off Matt Cain (2-3) in the third was the rookie’s first homer since July 27 against Colorado. The All-Star slugger also

drove in the Cubs’ first run when he beat out a potential double-play grounder in the first.

The 23-year-old Bryant entered with a .162 batting average in 21 games since the All-Star break.

“He is one of better young baseball players I’ve had.

Period,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

Brandon Belt hit a tworun homer for the Giants, who have dropped three in a row and five of seven. Hunter Pence had two hits and scored twice.

Angel Pagan and Nori Aoki each had a run-scoring single in San Francisco’s three-run ninth before Justin Grimm came in with a runner on first and got Matt Duffy to ground out to shortstop for his third save.

“They did a good job coming back at the end – even early in the game,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

“But it comes down to pitching. Right now, our starters are struggling and it makes it tough on the ‘pen.”

Montero’s run-scoring single was his first hit since he came off the disabled list Friday after being sidelined for almost a month by a sprained left thumb. Soler then scampered home on a double-play grounder by pitcher Kyle Hendricks (65), lifting the Cubs to a 5-3 lead.

NASCAR

Joey Logano wins Xfinity race at Watkins Glen International

By JOHN KEKIS The Associated Press WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. – After a poor qualifying effort in Sprint Cup, Joey Logano shook off his frustration and won the NASCAR Xfinity race at Watkins Glen International on Saturday, outdueling Penske Racing teammate Brad Keselowski.

Logano, who started from pole, overcame a stop-and-go penalty early in the caution-filled race, drove back to the front, and kept Keselowski at bay after a Joey Logano restart with four laps to go in the 82-lap race. It’s the first road

course win of his career, 25th in NASCAR’s second-tier series, and fourth win of the year.

The Penske duo led all but three laps in a race on the 2.45mile layout that was delayed by seven cautions for 20 laps.

Series points leader Chris Buescher was third, followed

by Boris Said and Ty Dillon, and leads Chase Elliott by 24 points. Elliott was seventh.

Regan Smith, fourth in points, finished 20th after running in the top 10 early in the race. Smith rallied from early troubles but was doomed to a bad finish after being taken out

by Dillon, and the two nearly came to blows after the race.

Cup regular Kyle Larson was running third early in the race and poised to challenge the Penske duo, but he sudden-

ly made a beeline for the pits on the eighth lap with a broken axle on his No. 42 Chevy. He finished 28th, seven laps behind.

It was a challenging day for Elliott. Running fifth early, he skidded off course trying to pass Smith as the cars banged sides in the Inner Loop on lap 15. That dropped Elliott to 25th and his troubles weren’t over.

BUFFALO, N.Y. – Blackhawks star Patrick Kane has hired an attorney and called off a public display of the Stanley Cup on Saturday because he is under police investigation over something that may have happened at his home last weekend.

Without providing details, lawyer Paul Cambria confirmed in a text message to The Associated Press that he has been hired to represent Kane.

Cambria represented Kane in 2009, when he pleaded guilty to a noncriminal charge of disorderly conduct after being accused of assaulting a Buffalo cab driver over 20 cents.

Cambria is a high-profile attorney who specializes in First Amendment issues. He has represented Hustler publisher Larry Flynt and music artists Marilyn Manson and DMX. The developments come a day after Hamburg police confirmed Kane is under investigation for an “incident that allegedly occurred” at the player’s offseason home in suburban Buffalo. Hamburg Police Chief Gregory Wickett did not discuss the nature of the investigation. He said police are gathering information and awaiting forensic tests.

Steelers’ Bettis leads hall of fame class CANTON, Ohio – The Bus pulled into football immortality on Satur-

Hall of Fame a decidedly western Pennsylvania feel.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis led the eight-man Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2015, the sixth-leading rusher in NFL history receiving an overwhelming ovation while being introduced before the official induction ceremonies.

The capacity crowd at Tom Benson Stadium – most of them clad in some version of blackand-gold – roared as Bettis made his way down the red carpet, his enshrinement serving as the final destination for a player who embodied the blue-collar mentality of the city and the franchise he helped lead to a fifth Super Bowl title in 2006.

Former Green Bay general manager Ron Wolf, who hired Mike Holmgren and traded for Brett Favre shortly after taking over in 1991, led off by praising the core that restored the Packers to legitimacy after two decades of mediocrity.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Kendrys Morales and Salvador Perez each drove in two runs and the Kansas City Royals overcame Jose Abreu’s two home runs to beat the White Sox, 7-6, Saturday night.

Perez, who had been in a 6-for32 skid, had a two-out single in the three-run fourth. Morales and Perez picked up back-to-back run-producing doubles with two out in a four-run fifth. Jarrod Dyson led off the inning with a triple and scored on Mike Moustakas’ sacrifice fly.

Sox right-hander Jeff Samardzija (8-6) failed to make it out of the fifth, giving up seven runs on six hits, two walks and a hit-batter.

In his past two starts, Samardzija has allowed 16 runs and 13 hits in 9⅓ innings, escalating his ERA to 4.62.

Far-fetched, but true

Manhattan veteran shares stories of his Army service in Vietnam

By DAWN AULET Shaw Media Correspondent MANHATTAN – In his new book, “Run Through the Jungle,” Larry Musson of Manhattan shares a story about an item he highly valued while serving in Vietnam.

It was not the photo of a girl back home – although he had one – or a trinket from his mother or father. It was his Seiko 17-jewel watch. As Musson wrote in his book, he always was certain of its time when his captain and fellow soldiers synced their watches.

Musson said he always knew he wanted to write a book about his experiences in Vietnam – even when he was in Vietnam.

“I had sent letters home to my girlfriend at the time to tell her about incidents, dates and time, and she was supposed to be saving those letters for me to write a book when I got home,” Musson said. “But that didn’t happen; she threw those letters away.”

The release of “Run through the Jungle” coincided with the 50th anniversary that Musson’s unit went to Vietnam. Musson, who grew up in Joliet and whose nickname when he was in the service was Muss, explained how he wound up in Vietnam.

Serving in the U.S. Army

“I actually volunteered for the draft because my mother was working at the courthouse in Joliet at the time,” Musson said.

Musson’s mother knew the head of the draft board, he added. After his mother told the head of the draft board she had a son named Larry, she learned the news. Musson was on the list to soon be drafted. So Musson enlisted. He’s thankful he did.

“That decision put me with the group of guys I was with.” Musson said. “I never regretted anything. I couldn’t imagine being with anybody else except the guys I was with.”

Musson said he served in the U.S. Army from March 3, 1969, to Oct. 4, 1970. According to his website, Musson completed basic training and advanced infantry training at Tiger Land in Fort Polk, Louisiana.

In basic training, Musson chose to go airborne, which meant he served as an infantryman while in the Army.

The website said he completed jump

“Pat had always said that Muss is like the son he never had,” Deb said.

One key experience that Musson writes in his book happened early in his service.

After being called out of training for an issue that had to do with his finances, Musson missed the part that showed new soldiers how to operate the radios. To pass that part of the testing, Musson said he cheated and asked a fellow soldier for help.

But no one knew that and once he was in the field, there were two jobs left that needed to be doled out – radio operator and machine gun operator.

So when Musson was assigned to Alpha Company, 3rd Battalion, 503 Infantry, 173rd Airborne Brigade, Chapla wanted him to be the radio operator.

A sergeant that Musson only knew as Scotty taught him how to use it. With a month, Musson said, he was proficient.

“He showed me how to clean it, take Eric Ginnard – eginnard@shawmedia.com Larry Musson of Manhattan has written a book, “Run Through the Jungle,” about his expe- care of it and wrap up the handset so it would not get wet,” Musson said. “It riences in Vietnam. was in the middle of monsoon season, so that was important.” school at Fort Benning, Georgia.

Cari Potter of Coldwell Banker Honig-Bell as its new president.

Potter has been a Lockport resident for 14 years and is passionate. She replaces Adam Woodworth who served as the foundation’s first president for a little more than a year.

After leading the charge to get the District 91 Education Foundation up and running, Woodworth decided to step aside. Attempts to organize a foundation had several false starts over the years.

Woodworth also started a small consulting business with his wife, Krista. He also serves on the board of the Chicago Southland Convention & Visitors Bureau, helping to promote tourism in the Chicago Southland.

The foundation is seeking volunteers. For information or to make a donation, call Potter at 815-531-5566.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

When you need 13, count to 13

CELEBRITY CIPHER

The first sentence of George Orwell’s “1984” is, “It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking 13.”

Typically, when you are in a suit contract, you first count your losers.

But when you reach a grand slam, there is little point in that – you cannot afford any. Instead, try to find 13 winners.

In this deal, for example, how should South play in seven spades after West leads the heart king?

In this auction, North’s response of three no-trump showed four or more spades and game-forcing values. (He had added value for his doubletons. His hand had seven losers, three spades, one heart and three clubs, which also made it worth game.)

After South control-bid (cue-bid) his club ace to suggest a slam, North took over with two doses of Roman Key Card Blackwood, learning that his partner had the spade ace-king and club ace (five diamonds) and the spade queen (six spades) but no sidesuit king. Yes, bidding seven spades was crazy!

South must take these 13 tricks: five spades, one heart, four diamonds, one club and two heart ruffs in the dummy.

After winning with dummy’s heart ace, declarer draws one round of trumps to get the bad news. Then he plays off dummy’s diamond winners, returns to his hand with a trump, discards the heart five on his diamond queen, ruffs a heart in the dummy, plays a club to his ace, trumps his last heart, ruffs a club, draws trumps, and claims.

Brilliant!

| PUZZLES & ADVICE

52 Fermented foods’ health benefits not yet proven Dear Dr. K: My friend has started eating lots of fermented foods. She claims they are good for your health. Is that true? What are the health benefits?

Dear Reader: Humans have been fermenting foods for thousands of years. Fermentation protects foods from spoiling and lends them a taste and texture that many people enjoy. Asian and African cultures use fermentation as a way to have seasonal foods all year, and to ensure there is enough to eat during food shortages.

Soy sauce and sauerkraut are examples of fermented foods.

Fermentation is a process that uses bacteria and yeast to convert sugars to carbon dioxide, alcohol and lactic acid. The type of bacteria or yeast used during fermentation can produce different flavors and textures of food. Salt also plays an important role in the fermentation process. It inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria and enhances the flavor of the fermented food.

Fermented foods also contain probiotics. These are live bacteria that can help keep your gut healthy.

Probiotics are added to foods to trigger the fermentation process.

You can add fermented foods to a balanced diet that includes protein, grains, fruit, vegetables and dairy. Here are some fermented foods you can look for in the grocery store: • FERMENTED DAIRY PRODUCTS. Yogurt, cultured buttermilk, sour cream and some cheeses are fermented.

• SOY PRODUCTS. Miso, soy sauce and tempeh are fermented soy products.

• FERMENTED VEGETABLES. Sauerkraut (pickled cabbage) and kimchi (a spicy Korean condiment often made with pickled cabbage) are examples of fermented vegetables.

Fermented foods may be healthy for many people. Fermentation

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff helps the body to absorb antioxidants, such as the polyphenols and flavonoids found in red cabbage. And the live bacteria in some fermented foods may bring health benefits by restoring a healthy balance of different types of bacteria in the gut.

On the other hand, fermented foods are not healthy for everyone.

Fermented soy and vegetable products are high in sodium. For that reason, if you have high blood pressure, heart disease or impaired kidney function, you should limit or avoid your intake of fermented foods. You can also rinse and drain them to remove some excess sodium.

A second risk for one type of fermented food: The World Health Organization has warned that heavy consumption of pickled foods may increase the risk of cancer.

Also, not all fermented foods contain live bacteria or probiotics. For example, fermented vegetables such as sauerkraut that are sold in grocery stores have been heated to a very high temperature. This kills all of the bacteria present in the food. The Nutrition Facts label on foods will contain the phrase “contains live and active cultures” if probiotics are present.

Do the probiotics present in many fermented foods have health benefits? In my opinion, this remains possible but unproven. Medical science is just in the beginning stages of learning about the possible value of different probiotics. So, if you are someone who is not at risk from fermented foods, by all means enjoy them.

• Write to Dr. Komaroff at askdoctork.com, or Ask Doctor K, 10 Shattuck St., Second Floor, Boston, MA 02115.

Dear Abby: I am recently divorced. For financial reasons, as well as to be nice, I have allowed my ex-wife, “Cathy,” and her daughter to live in our home with me and my kids. Cathy has her own bedroom and bathroom.

The subject of my living arrangements came up recently while I was on a date, and the woman immediately freaked out. She angrily informed me that I should have told her my ex-wife was living with me when we started talking. I felt it was something that could wait, at least past the first date.

Despite the fact that we were married, Cathy and I are nothing more than roommates now.

When is it too late in a new relationship to divulge this arrangement? – John in

ing wrong. It is not unheard of for divorced couples to continue living together for financial reasons or to assist in co-parenting. If you told the woman about your living arrangement before becoming intimate with her, she had no reason to freak out.

Dear Abby: I’m a 54-yearold woman with three adult children and three grandchildren. I lost my mother 34 years ago, and my baby sister died 20 years ago.

My dad is 84 and lives alone. Although he was a good provider, he was abusive toward my mother and occasionally toward me and my siblings. Dad and my younger brother do not communicate, period. However, my older sister is a daddy’s girl.

I have been married three times, and each man was in some way abusive – physically, mentally or both.

When I reached out to my dad for help, he would respond by telling me, “You’re

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips just like your mother, which is why I can’t stand being around you sometimes. I wasn’t responsible for her feelings, and I’m not responsible for yours.”

I live in a three-bedroom bungalow and I tried to help relocate Dad closer. He refused, saying, “If I don’t hear from you tomorrow or you die, I’ll be OK. I was when your mother died and I will be after you.” He has said that and worse to me throughout my life, and I’m afraid to continue contact with him for fear one day his words will break my spirit.

When I have shared this with family, I’ve been told, “He’s all the father you have,” or, “You have to pray for him.” Please help me. I don’t want to pray for him – I want to stay far away from him. – Conflicted in Ohio Dear Conflicted: If you need my permission to move on and have a happy life, you have it, and no one should try to make you feel guilty for your decision.

Your father has done enough damage to your soul. You do not have to allow him to hurt or disappoint you again.

Wanting to keep your distance from an abuser is both healthy and understandable.

He may be “all the father you have,” but the person you have described is a sorry excuse for a human being and not much of a man. You do not have to pray for him, nor do you have to have anything further to do with him.
