Route 30 paving starts Friday Work ahead of schedule; motorists warned of expected traffic congestion

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Paving work for the widening of Route 30 between Route 59 and Renwick Road begins Friday, meaning drivers navigating Route 30 and Renwick Road should anticipate greater congestion.

But with work ahead of schedule, Plainfield Director of Public Works Allen Persons said that closed stretch of Route 30 may open sooner than the anticipated end of November date.

“They are planning to start very early in the morning [Friday],” Persons said.

According to an Illinois Department of Transportation news release, as many as

20 trucks an hour will deliver concrete to the work zone starting at 6 a.m. and lasting as late as 6 p.m. Concrete pavement saw cutting may occur in the evenings, Persons said.

The Renwick Road detour to Route 59 will continue, with

Route 30 open to local traffic ,including to homes and businesses.

IDOT is advising motorists to expect delays and allow extra time for trips through the area. Drivers are urged to pay close attention to flaggers and

Area man wanted for home repair fraud Warrant issued in Grundy, Will counties

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com Steven M. Ellis is wanted by the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office and Morris Police Department for multiple counts of home repair fraud.

Morris Detective Alicia Steffes said Ellis has been investigated and charged in relation to a case in Morris.

“We believe he’s still soliciting business in the area,” Steffes said. “We want to serve the warrant to keep him from hurting others.”

Ellis most recently has lived in the Seneca and Vero-

na area. He is wanted in Will County for larceny.

Ellis, 41, gives estimates for roofing work, receives a payment or partial payment – and never does the job, Steffes Steven said.

M. Ellis G r u n d y County Detective R.H. Coleman said a warrant for Ellis’ arrest was issued for aggravated home repair fraud, and Coleman is investigating a second active case involving Ellis, which was received Wednesday by the Sheriff’s Office.

Ellis is believed to be in the area, Coleman said.

“We believe he’s still soliciting business in the area.”

Alicia Steffes Morris detective Steffes said there have been sightings of Ellis since he first was charged, and reminded people to vet those they hire.

“We encourage people to do background checks and get references and follow up on them,” Steffes said.

Anyone with information on Ellis’ whereabouts is asked to call the Morris Police Department at 815-942-2131 or the Grundy County Sheriff’s Office at 815-942-0336.

Annual street festival in downtown Joliet gives everyone a taste of auto racing

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Race Fan Rally brought out the usual blend of racing enthusiasts and novices mixed with some just along for the ride on Thursday.

“Not really,” Sue Kloth’s daughters replied when asked if they were race fans after getting their photos taken in front of one of the cars on display in downtown Joliet.

“They get dragged into it,” said Kloth, a race fan from Carol Stream.

Kloth comes to Race Fan Rally and the NASCAR races every year and runs into a lot of friends from the Carol Stream area.

“It’s just fun to walk around and see the NASCAR stuff,” she said.

Most people who were walking up and down Chicago Street would agree.

“I like seeing the people, looking at the cars,” said P.J. Londrie of Joliet. “You can take your time and walk around and do what you need to do.”

Londrie has tickets for all three races, and pit passes, too, this weekend at Chicagoland Speedway, including the start of the Chase for the Sprint Cup on Sunday.

“I got the whole setup. I love this,” Londrie said.

“It’s very family friendly,” said Robert Rajaballey, a racing fan from Crest Hill who came with his son, Ryan, 10, for their first time at Race Fan Rally.

“This is cool,” Ryan said.

“You get to sit in the cars. You get to walk around and hear all me when I’m going to start the music.” it,” said Ausec, who had ignition scheduled for three times Noise and speed during Race Fan Rally. “They Simple pleasures are a big like it.

NASCAR. But she did work at Chicagoland Speedway for one race and noticed a lot of Chevrolet Monte Carlos on the track.

“I have a Monte Carlo,” she said. “One day I want to go on the track. I like to speed.”

Race Fan Rally brings thousands to downtown Joliet each year. It’s the city’s kickoff to NASCAR race weekend.

“It’s nice for the locals who can’t go to the NASCAR races,” said Richard Pursell of Joliet, who does go to the races every year. Race Fan Rally gives everyone a taste of NASCAR, he said.

Denita Perry of Joliet said she doesn’t know much about

Downtown merchants

Race Fan Rally features interviews with drivers and bands on the main stage. Vendors of all sorts line Chicago Street, including many downtown merchants.

“Why wouldn’t you take advantage of this opportunity?” said Jeff Star, who was showing guitars for sale from Kula’s Jewelry & Loan in a display in front of the Chicago Street pawn shop.

Tania Garcia, co-owner of the Tin Roof restaurant, said an event like Race Fan Rally “is free publicity for us. A lot of people that come to these events don’t normally come downtown. It’s a good way to spread the word.”

Salvador Lozano, promoter for the US 41 Speedway, a race track for go-karting in Lake Village, Indiana, said he has come the past four years to Race Fan Rally, with his display of gokarts that can go up to 70 mph, in part to bring attention to the track. But he just likes the atmosphere, too.

“It’s fun to be here,” Lozano said. “Anything that has to do with racing, I like to be part of.”

WILL COUNTY

Walsh presents 2016 spending plan Budget includes $32 million for capital projects, no levy increase

By LAUREN LEONE-CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr. presented Thursday his 2016 spending plan.

At $482 million, it does not rely on raising taxes and accounts for increased health insurance costs, contractual pay raises and a need for ongoing major capital and road projects.

The budget plan presented to County Board members represents a 3.4 percent increase from last year’s approved $466 million plan.

The recommended budget includes $194 million in the corporate fund – the county’s main operating fund – and about $288 million in the special revenue funds.

It includes a $3 million increase for employee health in-

surance and a $2.3 million hike for salaries, which covers previous contractual and exempt wage increases, he said. But the tax levy will not go up this year, he said.

“With an expected increase in the [equalized assessed value] and keeping the levy amounts the same as last year, the [county tax] rate is estimated to be lower,” Walsh said, noting homeowners whose property is valued at $200,000 would pay about $18 less for the county’s portion of the levy.

Walsh’s budget also includes $32 million to go toward the county’s transportation division for maintenance and major road projects.

But the threat of cuts at the state level still looms, Walsh said.

“This budget proposal does not reflect any reductions in

state funding,” he said. “However, if the threats materialize we could see a reduction of $2.5 million to $5 million in the corporate fund. That would be devastating and would likely involve cutting critical services and reductions to staff.”

Overall revenue remains relatively flat with only slight increases in sales tax collections, he said, with minor declines in revenue for service charges.

Walsh said his intent is “not to paint a picture of despair,” but to bring to everyone’s attention that the county has yet to identify a revenue stream to fund larger capital projects.

“I understand the safety concerns, along with the many inefficiencies that exist in this antiquated [courthouse],” he said, referencing the county’s plans for a new one. “However, I have serious concerns about where the funding will come from.”

Walsh also reported Will County continues to maintain its AA+ bond rating, which he called a testament to the fiscally responsible approach the County Board and the county executive’s office has taken over the years.

County Board Republican Caucus Chair Chuck Maher, R-Naperville, said he appreci-

ated Walsh’s call to not raise taxes while addressing critical projects such as the courthouse and a new Laraway Road sheriff’s facility.

“We’re going to now have to remember that as we tackle this, we can’t always vote for what we want. But we can take a look at critical needs and make sure that we are addressing those. And we can do that within our budget without raising taxes,” Maher said.

Democratic Caucus Chair Herbert Brooks, D-Joliet, said he is looking forward to working with the board and the county executive’s office in crafting a final budget.

The draft budget will now be reviewed by the County Board. The board has 60 days to approve a final budget before the start of the new fiscal year Dec. 1.

Board debate heats up over use of road fund for courthouse

By LAUREN LEONE-CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – In an act that may have set the political stage for a larger debate later this year during budget talks, Will County Board member Cory Singer, R-Frankfort, came out swinging Thursday against others’ desire to use money from the county’s regional transportation tax to help build a new courthouse and for other capital projects.

Using road funds to help pay for critical public safety projects is increasingly becoming a controversial issue on the board.

Up for a vote was whether to allow the execution of a $1.2 million contract with the Chicago-based DLR Group to conduct design and engineering

plans for a new Laraway Road sheriff’s facility.

It’s undetermined whether RTA funds will pay for the DLR contract, but Singer said he’s concerned about dedicating that revenue stream to construct the new facility – estimated at about $16 million.

“I want to be clear. The sheriff’s department really needs a new facility,” Singer said.

“But I do believe that our transportation need is so significant that we should absolutely pause and take time to develop a formal policy on how we’re going to invest RTA funds going forward,” he continued.

The vote was 21-4, with Singer; Bob Howard, D-Beecher; Kenneth Harris, D-Bolingbrook; and Mark Ferry,

D-Plainfield, voting no. With the same argument, Singer was the lone vote on a resolution allowing for the execution of a contract agreement with a construction manager at-risk for the same project.

Others, including County Board member Steve Balich, R-Homer Glen, disagreed, noting the present courthouse and the sheriff’s facility are “unsafe” and should be prioritized over roads.

“What good is a beautiful road if you get the building and the ceiling falls on you?”

Balich said.

Republicans in recent months have driven discussion about the use of RTA sales tax for capital projects.

Earlier this month, a Republican-led committee pushed forward a plan that di-

verts about 25 percent of RTA funds – or $6 million annually – to help pay off bonds associated with the courthouse, which will carry a price tag of $140 million to $200 million.

But the item was taken off the County Board’s agenda before Thursday’s meeting to “allow for additional discussion,” said County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort.

Moustis argued opponents should offer alternatives.

“If you say you want it, but yet you’re not willing to offer funding sources, do you really support it?” Moustis said. “No. Otherwise you would be part of the solution in trying to find a revenue source.”

After the meeting, Nick Palmer, chief of staff for Will County Executive Larry

Walsh Sr., said Walsh is willing to consider a public safety sales tax referendum.

It’s a fair consideration because it gives taxpayers a voice rather than the County Board diverting dollars from much-needed road projects, which residents also care about, Palmer said.

“A public safety tax has been talked about for years, but nobody wants to chase that,” Palmer said. “That would involve going to the voters beforehand and asking permission. ... If they say no, that’s a [revenue source] we can check off.”

County officials have pegged the First Midwest Bank site at Ottawa and Jefferson streets, which the county bought last year, as a potential location for a new courthouse.

Medical experts disagree on cause of death in murder case JOLIET – Forensic pathologists disagreed Thursday about whether Diane Nichols was killed by her husband’s car or his feet.

Evidence in the murder trial of Jerry Nichols concluded with testimony from Dr. Valerie Arangelovich, who performed Diane Nichols’ autopsy, and Dr. Nancy Jones, who reviewed Arangelovich’s findings for the defense. Closing arguments will be Friday.

On Jan. 26, 2013, Diane Nichols came out to the garage of her home in the 16000 block of Arbor Vitae Circle in Crest Hill and was smashed into the wall when her husband drove their 2007 Honda Accord forward, according to trial testimony.

During a recorded interview played during the trial, Jerry Nichols first told detectives he’d meant to back up and struck her again when his foot slipped off the brake. He later said he’d been trying to scare her and mistakenly put the car into drive instead of

reverse when she told him to go back.

Prosecutors said Nichols had been researching different ways to poison his wife in the months before her death and was stomping on her head when paramedics arrived.

Arangelovich found Diane Nichols suffered two broken legs, a torn aorta, rib fractures, skull fractures, a fractured jaw, Jerry Nichols a brain hemorrhage, and damage to her spinal column and the cartilage in her throat.

“The cause of death was multiple injuries due to blunt force trauma,” Arangelovich testified.

Arangelovich said it was possible Diane Nichols could have survived “with some of those injuries.”

But while Arangelovich thought her facial and neck injuries were “more consistent with stomping,” Jones believes she died “within moments” of the crash.

“The extent of the injuries

would require a huge amount of force generated by a large object moving at a high rate of speed,” Jones told the jury.

“The fracture in the temporal bone requires too much energy to be generated by an individual.”

Jerry Nichols’ attorneys have said the Vietnam veteran’s post-traumatic stress disorder was triggered by the car crash and prompted the stomping.

Although Nichols referred to PTSD throughout his recorded interview, no medical experts testified and no reports were submitted during the trial addressing the disorder. Nichols also chose Thursday not to testify in his own defense.

Besides Jones’ testimony, the defense showed jurors six cards and letters Jerry Nichols had written to his wife as a demonstration of his affection for her. A relative of Diane Nichols later said those cards were written more than 10 years ago.

If convicted of murder, Jerry Nichols faces 20 to 60 years in prison.

New developments

In addition to two gas station projects, concept plans for a industrial and commercial development also were presented Wednesday to the village board.

Industrial developer Panattoniisplanninga732,000-squarefoot warehouse facility at Airport Road across from Ohare Drive and Midway Drive. There would also be the option to build another 400,000-square-foot facility across the creek on that property south of the larger warehouse.

“The project includes the future extension of Pinnacle Drive,” Community Development Director Steve Rockwell said.

The Pinnacle drive extension, which Noak envisions a connection between Taylor Road and Renwick Road, is part of development that has been stymied over the years in part by Lockport Township residents living on the path of the extension who had previously refused to move. There is still one home’s owner who hasn’t moved.

The extension is also in a runway protection zone, meaning the Federal Aviation Administration would have a say in the project.

The other development was the Heartland Dental square in the Wal-Mart out lot. About 3,200 square feet would be used for dental offices and the other 2,400 square feet would be a restaurant.

ROMEOVILLE – A microbrewery that has been making unique beer blends like “Simian Fever” and “Fonkey Mucker” in a Romeoville basement will soon have an official place of business.

Romeoville trustees approved Wednesday a special-use permit and liquor license for Metal Monkey Brewing to allow retail sales of beer made in its new location at 515 Anderson Drive, close to Route 53 and Montrose Drive.

That essentially leaves federal and state licensing as the last hurdles to bring Metal Monkey Brewery on the market.

“Right now we’re not licensed,” Dan Camp said. “It’s so difficult to get our name out there. It’s been kind of word of mouth, going out to places and handing out cards and stickers.”

Camp, a Romeoville resident whose basement is for now the main point of operations, co-owns the brewery along with Brett Smith and Brandi Nassenstein.

The three owners have been able to get their beer varieties into some festivals and bars. But with a new dedicated space for the brewery, they’re hoping to start selling much more.

The new 3,100-square-foot building will be split into a brewery and tasting room. The brewery will take up about two-thirds of the building. And patrons can take home beer after tasting.

The facility would allow Metal Monkey to produce 500 barrels of beer annually, with the opportunity to go up to 1,500 barrels depending on business.

Trustees praised the brewery’s success, making note that it was a Romeoville bornand-bred business.

“These are some of the hardest-working people,” Mayor John Noak said of the

owners.

LOCKPORT

Cultural center likely coming to train station

By SARWAT S. AHMAD Shaw Media Correspondent LOCKPORT – The Lockport train station likely will soon be sharing space with a new Native American cultural center.

The City Council is considering a one-year, rent-free lease with the nonprofit Midwest Soarring Foundation to use part of the Metra train station building, which the city owns, as a meeting and cultural center.

According to the terms of the lease presented Wednesday to the Committee of the Whole, the foundation will be allowed to use the 1,400-squarefoot office space in the station for a center to promote Native American culture with exhibits, educational material and powwows.

The center also will be open to the public for educational purposes.

The group will have the option to extend its lease for another year, but that will have

to be approved by the council, City Administrator Ben Bensen said.

In return the foundation will make some improvements to the building necessary for its cultural center, as well as maintain and add to the property’s landscape with Native American plantings, according to Bensen.

The lease will be on the consent agenda for approval at the council’s Oct. 7 meeting.

Foundation Founder Joseph Standing Bear Schranz made a presentation to the committee at its Sept. 2 meeting, and said Lockport had “the spirit” the foundation looks for in locations for its annual powwows.

The foundation holds a powwow yearly at Naper Settlement in Naperville and is looking for an indoor venue for the winter months, he said.

In other news, the city has sent out its letter of support to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for a proposed oil storage and barge loading facility

to be built by Ducere LLC on MWRD Island in the west half of the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal in unincorporated Will County, Bensen told the council.

Ducere’s endeavor also includes a 1.75-mile, 30-inchwide pipeline that would transport oil from Shell Tank Farm north of Star Business Park to the new facility. Some of that pipeline’s route would fall under Lockport’s public right-of-way and would require an easement agreement with the city.

The letter expresses the city’s “willingness to work with Ducere LLC in having the underground pipeline constructed in a manner that will promote public safety but also will generate a benefit for nearby residents and businesses.”

Bensen’s letter also states any easement agreement with the city would mandate Ducere comply with federal and state regulations for the pipeline, especially those that pro-

tect the city’s water and sewer systems and drinking water supply.

Bensen told the council an easement agreement will most likely not come to the city for at least three months as Ducere goes through its process with the U.S. Army Corps.

Lockport resident Chris Barrales-Saylor showed concern about the pipeline and said many questions had to be answered regarding how it will affect the city’s environment and water supply as well as residents’ property.

Mayor Steven Streit assured him Ducere would be required to adequately answer all those questions to the public before being granted an easement agreement.

Finally, Streit announced Legacy Events’ haunted house attraction, being constructed adjacent to the Legacy Paintball and Airsoft Park in Dellwood Park West, will not be ready for this year’s Halloween season. It will open next year.

What is an automatic standby generator?

In a Changing World, Some Things Never Change In changing times, it’s good to know some things haven’t changed—like Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol’s commitment to aggressive, competent legal representation that gets results.

Timothy J. Rathbun,

founding partner of Rathbun, Cservenyak & Kozol, has more than 30 years experience in both state and Federal courts involving commercial litigation, civil law and defending worker’s compensation claims.

An automatic standby generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away.

Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and it sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

Elwood police investigating online student messages as serious threat 11 ELWOOD – Police are investigating potentially threatening online messages from an Elwood School student that caused dismay among parents about how the school handled the situation.

Elwood Police Commander Pat Kerr said the department is investigating whether a Class 4 felony was committed

by a seventh-grade boy, who allegedly posted on Instagram dangerous and threatening messages.

“This is a serious incident,” Kerr said, who said there were multiple messages. “We’re going to be conducting interviews of students who have direct knowledge of the allegations.”

The felony disorderly conduct charge includes a threat of violence, death or bodily harm directed against people at a

school, whether or not school is in session.

The messages were posted during the weekend, and discovered and investigated by Elwood School District 203 on Monday, Superintendent Cathie Pezanoski has said.

The student discovered to be responsible for the posts was taken out of class and has since been placed in an alternative educational environment at a different school. Parents sug-

gested at a school board meeting Tuesday the student was bullied.

School officials contend the posting contained a gun and “inappropriate message,” but there were no immediate threats to specific students or staff.

Parents said at the meeting there also was a hit list, but school officials said there was not evidence of one.

Kerr said he saw the messages, and that they concerned

him, but that there was no evidence of a hit list.

“One of the posts refers to a list,” he said. “But so far, I haven’t seen one and no one has produced one to me.”

Parents also were upset they were informed by the school of the post Tuesday morning instead of Monday, which Pezanoski said was because of the school’s initial investigation ended Tuesday morning.

12 Brawny Dodge Durango offers a world of flexibility The 2015 Dodge Durango is an excellent choice for a sevenpassenger SUV, with an impressive muscular look, well-mannered road character, and outstanding flexible interior design.

No wonder it has been named a “Most Popular” choice by Edmunds. com, a “Best Value Family” SUV in the annual Active Lifestyle Vehicle (ALV) awards, a “Must-Shop SUV for Towing” by AutoTrader. com, and – for the third year in a row – a “Large SUV Best Buy” by Consumers Guide.

Outside looks are unique and impressive, and the slightly lowered ride height from 2014 models and new 8-speed automatic improve handling and gas mileage. And the interior is luxurious and spacious, yet functional.

One impressive design feature is that Durango offers up to 50 different seating configurations, including a clever fold-flat passenger front seat that adds to the 85 cubic feet of cargo capacity. The fold-flat works in tandem with the standard 60/40 second-row seat; folding down the “right 40” allows carrying long items. The third row is a 50/50 fold-flat to allow even more cargo-

carrying options. And the option of second-row captain’s chairs allows a convenient pass-through from front to rear.

Durango standards and options equal state-of-the-art technology and function. Among these are five-inch and 8.4-inch touchscreens, a customizable 7-inch gauge display, forward collision warning with crash mitigation, adaptive cruise control with stop, the latest generation of Uconnect Access Via Mobile and a dual-screen Blu-ray DVD system. Durango can also be used as a Wi-Fi hotspot, and offers a UConnect hands-free system.

More than 60 safety features are standard or available, including Blind-Spot Monitoring, Rear CrossPath Detection, standard trailersway control, standard all-speed traction control, standard electronic stability control, and seven standard airbags.

A number of special packages are offered to personalize your Durango, inside and out, including the popular Blacktop Package (SXT, Limited and R/T), with special dark trim to give Durango a more aggressive appearance. Also available are the Beats by Dr. Dre audio system

The 2015 Dodge Durango offers the style, size, flexibility and power to handle the family’s needs in any season and for any use. The large SUV’s 50/50 weight balance produces good driving manners, even in two-wheel drive. Two all-wheel-drive systems, two engine choices and an 8-speed automatic add even more stability, fuel economy and towing capacity. The seven-passenger interior also offers up to 50 different seating configurations.

(R/T, Limited and Citadel), with 10 speakers and specially-tuned sound control. A new red Nappa leather package is available on R/T. The rear-wheel-drive Durango offers excellent balance, thanks to 50/50 front-rear weight distribution.

However, two all-wheel-drive systems are also offered, one for the 360-horsepower, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, and another for the 290-hp, 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6. The V-6 is standard on SXT, Limited and the luxury Citadel; the Hemi is standard on R/T. All Durango models feature a new eight-speed automatic transmission

with rotary shifter and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

This state-of-the-art transmission improves fuel economy up to 15 percent compared to the fivespeed automatic it replaces, along with enhanced performance and smoother shifts.

On models with the Pentastar V-6 engine, the Durango can tow up to 6,200 pounds. On models with the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, towing capacity is 7,400 pounds, properly equipped. Both are best-in-class tow ratings. adno=0330319

Houston Astros broadcaster Milo Hamilton salutes reporters Sept. 26, 2012 as he enters a news conference before an Astros’ game against the St. Louis Cardinals in Houston. Hamilton, the longtime play-by-play radio voice of the Astros and a Hall of Fame broadcaster, died Thursday in Houston, the team said in a statement. He was 88. Hamilton spent 60 years broadcasting MLB games.

Hamilton. “Everywhere I go when people start talking about that home run, your voice comes back, and I want to say how much I appreciate that.”

Hamilton and Aaron were forever linked because of that call.

“We’re kind of joined at the hip with home run No. 715,” Hamilton said in 2012.

Hamilton joined the Astros in 1985 and retired following the 2012 season. Since 2013, he had served as a guest radio commentator for select home games.

Astros president of busi-

ness operations Reid Ryan called Hamilton a “true icon” whose contributions to the game would always be remembered. Hamilton was inducted into the broadcasters’ wing of the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1992 and the Radio Hall of Fame in 2000.

Among the other highlights of his career were calling all those no-hitters, Nolan Ryan’s 4000th strikeout in 1985 and Craig Biggio’s 3,000th hit in 2007. He also called the Pirates’ 1979 championship season and when Stan Musial hit five home runs in a doubleheader.

He has said his most mem-

orable no-hitter was the division-clinching performance by Mike Scott in 1986.

Major League Baseball commissioner Rob Manfred said he enjoyed spending time with Hamilton when he visited Houston earlier this season.

“During his 60 years covering our game, Milo became one of the national pastime’s most distinguished announcers, serving seven different Major League clubs,” Manfred said. “He chronicled some of our game’s most historic moments during the era of Hank Aaron, Stan Musial and Ernie Banks ... and countless other

memories.”

Hamilton also counted former President George H.W. Bush and his wife Barbara as longtime friends. They called Hamilton “one of the brightest Points of Light we knew.”

“It was hard for him, and indeed all Astros fans, when he stepped away from the booth in 2012 after his legendary career, but from this day forward we can take comfort that he will always have the best seat in the house,” the Bush statement said. “Holy Toledo, what a good man he was – and we were fortunate to know him.”

HOUSTON – Milo Hamilton, a Hall of Fame broadcaster whose radio calls included 11 no-hitters and Hank Aaron’s historic 715th home run in 1974, died Thursday. He was 88.

The Houston Astros announced the death of their longtime play-by-play man, known well for using the phrase “Holy Toledo.”

A cause of death was not immediately released for Hamilton, who worked for seven teams over six decades of broadcasting.

Hamilton spent 67 years in broadcasting including two stints with the Cubs (1955 to ’57, 1980 to ’84) and one with the White Sox (1961 to ’65).

Hamilton spent 60 years broadcasting major league games, and was working for WSB Radio in Atlanta when Aaron became the all-time home run leader April 8, 1974.

Hamilton later said he didn’t rehearse the call, but it went off without a hitch.

“There’s a drive into left-center field,” he said as the Braves slugger started running the bases. “That ball is going to be ... out of here! It’s gone! It’s 715! There’s a new home run champion of alltime! And it’s Henry Aaron!”

As Aaron crossed home plate and was greeted by jubilant teammates, Hamilton continued with: “Henry Aaron, the home run king of all time.”

Hammerin’ Hank joined Hamilton at his retirement party in 2012 and discussed his famous call, which the broadcaster considered the highlight of his career.

“Your voice goes with me all over the world,” he told

Illinois Comptroller Leslie Munger (left) and Gov. Bruce Rauner address supporters Jan. 10 in Moline before taking office. Several government managers worked on hiring state employees for Rauner’s administration last winter while on the payroll of the state comptroller’s office, a questionable use of taxpayer dollars from a separate constitutional office during a transition period before Rauner was actually governor.

Aides worked for Rauner, but paid by comptroller

By JOHN O’CONNOR The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – At least three government administrators began working on hiring employees for Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration last winter while on the comptroller’s office payroll, using taxpayer dollars from a separate constitutional office before Rauner had even taken the state’s reins.

Rauner, a Republican who promised to clean up clout-laced government hiring, relied on comptroller’s employees to get his administration rolling, including recommending candidates for politically affiliated jobs, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press. Two went on to become senior Rauner managers, including one who oversees hiring for the governor’s office.

Rauner aides said the practice was appropriate, efficient and pre-approved by the

comptroller’s independent inspector general. But political experts and reform advocates say the practice was improper and breached divisions between constitutional offices.

“You want to help out the governor? Do it on your time, on your nickel,” said Kent Redfield, an expert on political ethics at the University of Illinois-Springfield. “To me, that’s pretty clearly wrong.

One of the functions of the state comptroller’s office is not to act as an HR department for the governor’s office.”

Private funds typically cover a new governor’s transition. The use of comptroller employees by the multimillionaire former venture capitalist, who vowed to “shake up” how Springfield does business, raises questions about whether he didn’t want to be hampered by bureaucratic restraints or was cutting corners and blurring lines set up to prevent conflicts between separate units

of government.

Rauner spokesman Lance Trover scoffed at the reproach, emphasizing the inspector general’s blessing.

“Only in Illinois do you get attacked for doing things the right way,” he said.

It’s impossible to say how many taxpayer dollars, appropriated for the comptroller’s job of paying the state’s bills, financed the work of Judith McAnarney and Matthew Magalis, who were setting up meetings with Cabinet-level agencies and discussing applicants to fill jobs during the workday while Rauner was still a private citizen.

The emails reviewed by the AP came from a half-dozen state agencies under a Freedom of Information Act request. But 19 agencies are keeping related documents secret, despite Rauner’s pledge of government transparency. GOP Comptroller Leslie Munger denied a similar request.

STATE & NATION BRIEFS Report: Illinois Lottery lost money last year

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Lottery lost money last year for the first time since 2009, reducing the amount of money it generates for state programming by $125 million, according to a new report from the Illinois Legislature.

The loss comes after the state hired a private manager, Northstar Lottery Group, in 2010 to increase sales and profits.

Money from the lottery goes to state programs, mostly education efforts.

The bipartisan Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability’s report shows the amount of lottery money available for state programs fell by $125 million to $690 million during the fiscal year that ended June 30, The (Springfield) State Journal-Register reported.

The state’s capital projects fund felt the drop the most, receiving $8 million last year, or 94 percent less than the previous year. Because of the way lottery money is distributed, schools received a little more money last year – $679 million up from $668 million the year before.

American stops flights at 3 airports

DALLAS – American Airlines flights to and from Dallas, Chicago and Miami were briefly stopped on Thursday by a computer problem that prevented passengers from checking in.

Airline officials said they fixed their computer systems after less than two hours but were still trying to determine the exact cause of the interruption.

American spokesman Casey Norton said there was no indication that the airline’s computers had been hacked.

Trim Hunger Event Helps Feed Those In Need SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese It’s disturbing to consider how many people in this country wake up each day not knowing where their next meal will come from. Statistics show this figure to be approximately 11 million people, which is nearly the population of the entire state of Ohio.

The Salon Professional Academy nationwide franchise has declared war on hunger, with the goal of raising awareness and collecting donations to provide nutritious meals for those with the greatest need. The event, dubbed “Trim Hunger”, will take place on September 27, 2015 with the hope of breaking the Guinness Book of World Records’ existing record for the most people cutting hair at the same time. Over 20 Trim Hunger Cut-A-Thons will be held simultaneously at The Salon Professional Academy locations across the nation. Additional events and fundraisers will take place at individual participating TSPA franchise locations.

Trim Hunger was initially created by Josif Wittnik, owner of Salon CTI and Day Spa and

The Salon Professional Academy in Appleton, WI. After a local project helped feed families in need within his community, he developed Trim Hunger to raise awareness for the cause and to help feed the hungry on a national level.

The Salon Professional Academy has the support of Redken 5th Avenue NYC, beauty industry leaders, and salon professionals across the country. Other corporate sponsors include Essie, Addidas, Wow Logistics, and Keller Planners, Architects, and Builders.

For more information about this exciting event, visit www.TRIMHunger.com, or check facebook at #trimhunger.

The Salon Professional Academy is providing a 10% discount for Police, Firefighters, Military, and Veterans. Locally, TSPA is holding a Cut-A-Thon on September 27, 2015 at their Shorewood, IL location (335 Vertin Blvd) from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm. Bring a friend and come join in the fun!

ANOTHER VIEW

Lobbyists shouldn’t choose school lunch menu Five years ago, Congress brought some healthfulness to the National School Lunch Program, which spends more than $10 billion a year to feed about 30 million kindergarten through 12th-grade students.

The law is up for renewal this month, and the School Lunch Industrial Complex is trying to make it less healthful again. Its arguments in favor of lowering nutritional quality for the nation’s children don’t add up, and Congress should reject them.

The overhaul five years ago favored whole grains over heavily processed carbohydrates, less salt, and a minimum serving of fruits or vegetables a meal. It limited what schools could sell in vending machines and à la carte lines, preventing schools from circumventing the rules by allowing fast-food junk – often from national chains – to be sold right outside the cafeteria.

These rules weren’t thrown together willy-nilly by vegan activists; they were developed carefully after an independent expert review at the Institute of Medicine.

School lunches have gotten healthier. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found last month that the number of schools offering two or more fruits and vegetables in their meals has shot up.

Nearly a third of schools now have salad bars.

But the school lunch lobby has been waging a rear-guard action ever since the rules started to phase in. It fought to continue counting tomato paste as a vegetable. It fought against rules that discouraged feeding children too many starchy potatoes.

The lobby’s current demands include curtailing the whole-grain and sodium requirements and loosening

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

the rule that children must take fruits or vegetables with their meals.

The lobbyists claim the regulations promote waste because vegetables get discarded, that some healthy-enough dishes have been ruled unacceptable and that the rules will become even more onerous in coming years.

Much of the “evidence” is anecdotal, but the few credible studies offer a mixed picture.

One suggested that students do throw more out but also are eating more fruits and vegetables. Another found that waste has decreased. A third found that students taking vegetables are eating significantly larger amounts of them and that more students are consuming fruit.

Generally, school cafeterias are expected to be self-supporting, which led many of them to offer junk food. With healthier meals on offer, they worry that fewer students ineligible for free or reduced-cost lunches are buying cafeteria food, reducing revenue.

But this is no excuse to skimp on health.

Wealthier families can send their children to school with junk in a paper bag if they like, but that’s no reason for the government to relax its demands. The Agriculture Department is offering cafeterias guidance and funding to make healthy meals more appetizing. That, not attacking the fair request that they feed students better food, should be their focus.

If lawmakers worry that cafeterias can’t meet federal standards under current budget constraints, they should raise the federal reimbursement for school lunches rather than go back to meals more likely to induce obesity and heart problems.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Automation on the way

To the Editor: With minimum wage rising to as high as $15 an hour, automation is coming to the rescue to keep costs down. An epicurean epiphany might boost Micky D’s profits. You know how some people like to make a gut-buster hamburger with everything but the kitchen sink – onions, eggs, green peppers, salt and pepper, mushrooms and cheese?

Well, popcorn can be added for greater convenience and flavor. Put a few kernels strategically located in the burger and it should flip itself and add flavor.

Plus you know when one goes off, it starts a chain reaction and they all go off. There she goes, the burgers about to go super critical.

This also could work for marshmallows and hot dogs, too.

Program recalls loved ones

To the Editor: Kudos to the staff of Joliet Area Community Hospice on their recent memorial program, “We Remember with Love,” the annual bal-

loon release that was held Aug. 16 at the First Assembly of God Church in Joliet. Participants were given the opportunity to celebrate the lives of loved ones they’ve lost, writing their names and a note, if desired, affixing it before the balloon release.

Attended by more than 300, the program began inside with inspirational music followed by a warm welcome. This was followed by a candlelighting ceremony representing the aspects of grief. Along with the song “Light a Candle,” a beautiful message of hope and an interfaith blessing of both the attendees and balloons was given.

Outside with balloons in hand, everyone listened to another uplifting message and song, then hundreds of brightly colored balloons were let go skyward in an emotional release, “We Remember With Love!” calling out the names of those remembered. As this was happening, the final song, “The Skies Are Calling,” was played and sung.

As a JACH board member, I’m blessed to witness and experience the degree of care and compassion that Joliet Area Community Hospice staff demonstrate daily.

Busch upbeat about JGR prospects

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com CHICAGO – Joe Gibbs Racing drivers had good reasons to be feeling confident during Thursday’s The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Media Day at the Murphy Auditorium.

With four competitors still alive in the 16-man field, which kicks off the Chase for the Sprint Cup in Sunday’s 2 p.m. myAFibRisk.com 400 race at Chicagoland Speedway.

Kyle Busch, Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Denny Hamlin give the team – which was founded by legendary football coach Joe Gibbs, and is located in Huntersville, North Carolina – hopes it will claim its fourth champion, and its first since Tony Stewart won back in 2005.

Busch and Kenseth enter the Chase tied with six-time champion Jimmie Johnson as the points leaders with 2,012, because of their four-race victories this season. Threerace winner Joey Logano is next at 2,009 while defending champion Kevin Harvick is tied with Dale Earnhardt Jr.,

Kurt Busch and Edwards at 2,006 among those who’ve won twice this year.

Brad Keselowski and Martin Truex Jr. join Hamlin with 2,003 points based on their one win, while Jamie McMurray, Jeff Gordon, Ryan Newman, Paul Menard and Clint Bowyer round out the field with 2,000 points.

Harvick has finished in the top five 18 times and in the top 10 on Kyle Busch 22 occasions in 26 races, while Logano has 16 top fives and 20 top 10 efforts in the same number of races.

But no one has been more productive this season in picking up wins a start as Kyle Busch, who only had six top-five showings but captured victories in four of his 15 starts.

The big disparity in races was because of Busch being out of action for nearly three months after suffering injuries in an accident in the Xfinity Series race at Daytona in February.

That setback left him with a lot of work to do in order to get into the Chase picture.

But a win at Sonoma in June got the ball rolling. Then, after finishing 17th in his return to Daytona, Kyle Busch claimed consecutive victories at Kentucky, New Hampshire and Indianapolis. He finished in the top 11 in his past five races, placing second at Watkins Glen and most recently at Richmond.

“Through that time that I was down, just because I wasn’t in a race car doesn’t mean that I was sitting on my butt on the couch,” Kyle Busch said. “As soon as I could get up in the morning, I was doing therapy, some times four or five hours a day. So I would say that your body is pretty used up whether you’re in a car or out of a car.

“I feel like I’ve been going all year, but I still kind of know in the back of my mind like, ‘Yeah, I missed 11 weeks,’ so I’m definitely not as long into this as the other guys are.

My days throughout the week of those 11 weeks were probably more hell than the rest of those guys. But that was all physical and emotional and that’s in the past.”

Kyle Busch looks forward to a successful Chase for the

members of JGR. “I think we have the best chance with four drivers to be able to carry on this championship,” Kyle Busch said. “I look forward to it. This Chase has been a long time coming for the rest of the drivers, not as long for me. But it’s a great opportunity to be in the Chase and I’m looking forward to competing for the championship.

“I feel like last year we knew going in what we needed to do in order to move ourselves through. Last year, Joe Gibbs Racing as a whole, we weren’t capable of winning those races, we needed to point our way through to the end.

And we were doing a fine job of that until Talladega came around and we got wadded up on the backstretch there.

“But this year can be different for us at Joe Gibbs Racing because we do have that ability to win those races and we can go out there and try to get those wins. The chemistry that we have between our four teams is really, really good. So there’s a great opportunity for a Joe Gibbs Racing car, if not more, to make it to that final round.”

North at South a Plainfield must-see A year ago, the Plainfield South football team scored seven points total in the first three weeks of the season.

The Cougars were 0-3 and going nowhere fast. However, in Week 4, they beat Plainfield North, 41-34, in overtime to turn their season around.

That victory began a span where they won four of five to reach .500 at 4-4.

Coach Ken Bublitz’s team lost to Oswego in Week 9 to finish 4-5 overall, but the Cougars’ 4-3 record in the Southwest Prairie was good enough to claim fourth place.

When we say the Southwest Prairie almost always delivers surprising results over the course of a football season, South somehow seems to be involved more than its share of the time.

That brings us to Week 4 of 2015. The Cougars began this season with nonconference losses to Lemont and Joliet West, both by 21-6 scores.

Then last week, in a game that

on paper looked like a tossup, the South offense showed life in a 23-0 victory over Plainfield East.

Meanwhile, based on what we have seen so far, Plainfield North looks like a legitimate threat to Oswego in the Southwest Prairie title chase.

The Tigers have played well in their two victories and they dominated statistically in a 1714 loss at Bishop McNamara.

Last season, the Tigers had running back Quintin Hoosman, now at Northern Illinois, leading the way. They finished 5-2 in the SPC and 6-4 overall after falling to Normal Community, 42-34, in the opening round of the playoffs.

The feeling from the Tigers’ camp – and it certainly was justified – was that coach Tim Kane’s team could have won the playoff game had Hoosman, who was having a huge game, not gone down with an injury early in the fourth quarter.

Anyway, in the Week 4

at 2-0, sharing that spot with the winner of the Minooka at Oswego battle. Although their Dick two nonconference wins were Goss narrow escapes, the Indians are riding high at 3-0. This one rivalry renewal, South had could be quite a game. gotten off the deck and upset Also in the Southwest PraiHoosman and North.

VIEWS

The Tigers (2-1) are getting better, but probably not yet good enough to derail the Raiders.

Of course, just about everyone who predicts the outcome of high school football games had Bolingbrook beating Sandburg last week, and look what happened. The Eagles’ passing game won the battle against the Raiders’ secondary in a 38-20 victory.

Might West be catching the Raiders (1-2) at a good time? Or, is Bolingbrook primed to rebound and play like the Bolingbrook teams we have grown accustomed to watching? That uncertainty makes this game all the more interesting.

It will not matter that the Raiders dropped two of their first three. If the Tigers can prevail, it will go down as a signature win in the rise of their program.

The PGA champion was 10-under par through 17 holes when the first round at Conway Farms was halted because of approaching storms.

Day had just hammered a tee shot 346 yards with the wind at his back, leaving him 44 yards to the hole at No. 9.

He needed to hole that shot for a 59, and he had to wait until Friday morning for that.

The round was to resume at 7:30 a.m.

He was four shots ahead of PGA Tour rookie Daniel Berger, who had a 6-under 65.

Kane says he has ‘done nothing wrong’

SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Speaking publicly for the first time since he became the subject of a sexual assault investigation, Blackhawks star Patrick Kane said Thursday he has done nothing wrong and expects to be exonerated.

Kane is accused of assaulting a woman in her 20s in August at his offseason home outside Buffalo, New York, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because police have not revealed details of the case.

Kane has not been charged.

PART OF THE SOLUTION

Experts discuss ways to increase the Joliet area monarch population

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

J

OLIET – What child doesn’t want the sublime pleasure of a monarch butterfly landing on his hand or shoulder?

So said Jo Chenell of Green Garden Township, master gardener and volunteer with the University of Illinois Extension office in Joliet. But monarch numbers have dramatically dropped in the past two years, Chenell said, which could impact other insect populations.

Scientists, Chenell said, believe climate change, loss of habitat with increased urbanization and use of pesticides have contributed to the drop.

“There are some very basic and easy things everyone can do to help with the solution,” Chenell said. “I wanted to be part of the solution.

Building a butterfly garden is part of the solution.”

To that end, the University of Illinois Extension has created an informational brochure to guide people through the process of creating gardens to attract and support monarchs.

Collaborating on the brochure were Chenell; Phyllis Schulte of Mokena, master gardener, master naturalist, butterfly monitor for the Illinois Butterfly Monitoring Network and 23-year volunteer for the Forest Preserve District of Will County; and Nancy Kuhajda, master gardener and program coordinator for the University of Illinois Extension in Joliet.

The brochure, Schulte said, also discusses tagging monarchs to track their migration. The tiny tag is placed on a particular distal cell of the monarch to avoid stress on its wings and disruption of its center of gravity in flight.

“The monarch migration is considered as one of the

“We’re fresh out of prairie,” she said.

It’s not too late to start

Although the monarch season in Will County is winding down, Chenell said, people have until the end of September to prepare a plot and add a few plants to get the rooting systems started.

A small inexpensive garden might contain six milkweed plants, three to four perennials and four to five annuals, Chenell said, Watch for local sales, too, as these Photo provided may offer reasonably-priced A pair of monarchs poke around asters at Sugar Creek Preserve in Joliet, which is part of the Forest Preserve milkweed plants.

PUZZLES SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Third hand can also give count

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Mogens Jallberg (about whom, surprisingly, the Internet has no information) said, “In democracy, it’s your vote that counts; in feudalism, it’s your count that votes.”

In bridge, it’s your card that counts – it may give partner count information that makes the difference between success and failure – as in this deal.

How should the defenders card to defeat three no-trump after West leads his fourth-highest heart?

In my opinion, North, with such a strong doubleton, should have raised one no-trump to three no-trump. It is possible that, if a 4-4 spade fit exists, four spades will make and three no-trump fail, but that is unlikely, and when a major-suit fit was not found, it just gave the defenders free information.

South starts with six top tricks: three spades, one heart (after winning the first trick), one diamond and one club. If the diamond finesse is winning, the contract will make with at least one overtrick. But if the finesse is losing, maybe West will not know that South’s heart king is now a singleton.

After West leads the heart five and dummy plays the six, East must resist the natural reaction to cover with his eight. When third hand cannot contribute a nine or higher, he should give count. Here, he plays his three: low from an odd number. This tells West that South started with only two hearts; it could not be four because he denied a four-card major in the auction.

Declarer will win with his heart jack, cross to dummy with a spade, and run the diamond 10. Now West should work out to win with his diamond king and cash the heart ace, which results in a speedy down one.

Discontinuation symptoms may also include tremor, restlessness and an uneven gait. You may have difficulty speaking or chewing. Some people experience “brain zaps.”

These are feelings that resemble an electric shock to your head. Some people describe the sensation as “brain shivers.”

You can usually avoid these problems by slowly cutting the dose of your antidepressant in increments. You should allow two to six weeks or longer between dose reductions.

Your doctor can instruct you in tapering your dose, and your schedule will depend on several factors. These include which antidepressant you’re taking, how long you’ve been taking it, your current dose, and any symptoms you may have had during previous medication changes. If you experience unpleasant symptoms in response to a dose reduction, you may want to taper more gradually.

There are no hard and fast rules for getting off antidepressants except that the approach should be individualized.

Being on a medicine for life is not the same as being “addicted” to the medicine. Your body simply may need it. In the case of the SSRI antidepressants, the chemistry of your brain may need it.

People with Type 1 diabetes almost always need to be on insulin for the rest of their lives. Indeed, insulin prolongs their lives.

In people who suffer from depression and suicidal thoughts, so do antidepressants.

T A K E A B A T H

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

T R A N S M I T S

Dear Dr. K: I’ve been on an SSRI antidepressant for a few months, and it has really helped improve my depression. How long do I need to take this medication?

Dear Reader: If you’re fortunate enough to find an antidepressant that lifts your dark mood, and you aren’t too troubled by its side effects, your doctor likely will renew the prescription indefinitely.

As long as you continue taking the medication, you are unlikely to suffer a relapse of your depression.

But perhaps you’re having bothersome side effects. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) drugs, like fluoxetine (Prozac) or sertraline (Zoloft), sometimes cause side effects. The most frequent ones include insomnia, irritability, sexual dysfunction and dizziness (such as when standing up). You may want to see if the benefits of the drug persist, while the side effects disappear, when you stop taking it.

It’s a reasonable thing to discuss with your doctor.

The decision to go off antidepressants should be considered carefully. It should be made with the support of your physician or therapist. Together, you will want to make sure you’re not stopping prematurely, risking a recurrence of depression.

If you decide to quit, you and your doctor should take steps to minimize or avoid discontinuation symptoms. These can occur if you stop antidepressants too abruptly.

Discontinuation symptoms are not the same as a relapse of depression.

However, they can include anxiety and depression, making it difficult to distinguish between the two. (On my website, askdoctork.com, I’ve put a table that can help you tell the difference between discontinuation symptoms and the symptoms of a relapse.)

Dear Abby: Today was my high school reunion. I was the most notable student for all the wrong reasons. I was born with some birth defects and learning disabilities. I overcame them, but it was hard.

While working blue-collar jobs, I lived in my car for a few years.

On a cold winter night several years ago, I met Dr. X in the emergency room.

He was a former classmate of mine, and we pretended not to know one another.

He discovered I was living in my car and heard some of my story. Then he arranged for me to be admitted to the hospital for a day so I could get warmed up and recover. When I left the hospital, I found a $100 bill in the gas tank door of my van. I’m sure it was from him.

I now have a home of my own and I’m doing OK, considering everything.

When I sent my reservation and check to the reunion committee, it was returned uncashed with a $50 bill along with a note saying “Please don’t come.” The reunion was being held on the estate of Dr. X. I guess my classmates are more closed-minded than I thought they would be. I was hoping age would mellow them.

In addition to the reservation return, I have seen a few forwarded emails mocking my attempts to find out about the event.

I hope none of those people were blessed with a child with learning or physical issues.

I guess people never change on some things.

Thankfully, I have found nicer, caring people along my journey in life, and for that I’d like to thank all of the kind people in the world.

– Unexpected Success Dear Unexpected Success:

Your letter shocked me. I am

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips glad to know how you are doing. Although people age, it’s apparent that not all of them mature.

In case you haven’t yet realized it, you weren’t the only student in your class with problems. People who would behave as you have described were obviously born without a heart. It is inexcusable for you to have been treated the way you were. In recognition of the challenges you have overcome, you should have been the guest of honor at the reunion.

Dear Abby: I’ve been seeing a man for 15 months.

I know he has three sisters and a brother. All he has said is they are not close and he doesn’t keep in touch with them. There are no cards at holiday time, no phone calls or any mention of any of them (there are nieces and nephews, too), and no explanation about why they don’t talk.

Should I be concerned that he doesn’t share any of this with me? He has been very involved with my entire family, but I have never met a single relative of his. – Kept In The Dark In

Massachusetts Dear Kept In The Dark:

After 15 months of dating, you should be able to discuss this with him and get some honest answers. There are probably good reasons why this man and his family are estranged. They may have been abusive to him, or he may be the black sheep of the family. But you will never know unless you ask directly.

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Make your decisions rationally, not emotionally, in order to come out on top. It is vital that professional matters and personal issues not be allowed to collide. You will make the greatest gains if you take note of what’s going on around you and protect your interests.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t take the people who love you for granted. Nurture your personal relationships and do your best to make them grow and thrive. Keeping the peace will help you establish your position.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – You should make some lifestyle changes. Realize that circumstances will not change until you take action.

It’s time to walk away from toxic or abusive relationships once and for all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – You can achieve your goals with a little effort. Fight for what you want and take the path that feels most comfortable. Mix practicality with precision and see what happens.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Listen and observe. If you wait for someone else to make the first move, you will have a better idea where you fit in or how to proceed. Love and romance are highlighted.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Money is in the picture. This is a great time for finalizing contracts, forming partnerships or presenting your views to people who can help you out. Don’t be afraid to share.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Don’t base your

plans on what others think you should be or do. Your goals will be realized if you stress the positive aspects of your plans and ignore any negative comments or pressure.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Legal, financial or medical issues or paperwork are best dealt with quickly. Contact a professional if necessary in order to update personal documents. Stick to the rules and regulations.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Keep your expenses to a minimum. If you live beyond your means, you will be left in a vulnerable financial position. Take advantage of a travel opportunity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Let others know how you feel. You can’t assume someone will know what is preying on your mind until you

open up and share your thoughts. Be diplomatic at all times.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Love and patience will be needed. Someone close to you will want your undivided attention. Keep an open mind and do whatever it takes to help without jeopardizing your position.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Own up to your mistakes, make apologies if it will help and put your conscience at ease. Live in the present and look to the future.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – A younger family member will provide a new perspective on a recent problem. Addressing a physical or mental challenge with friends or neighbors will lift your spirits.

SATURDAY HOROSCOPE TODAY – Don’t stop learning. You can improve your professional prospects by staying current with technological and industry changes or by branching out in a new direction. Don’t let anyone bully or coerce you into doing something against your better judgment. Be true to yourself and your skills and talents.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Get input from the people you live with before you decide to alter your living space. You will face challenges if you go ahead with your plans without their approval.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Follow your intuition.

You have all the right moves, so don’t be thrown off by someone else’s fears or doubts. A person you have helped in the past will return the favor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Stressful financial matters will take a toll on your health. Get professional advice if you are being compromised by unsound investment practices. Don’t wait until it’s too late to turn things around.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Family dynamics will be strained, but you should review your own actions before you accuse anyone. Emotional outbursts will be damaging.

State your concerns rationally in order to find a workable solution.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You are a generous person, but that doesn’t mean you should take on someone else’s responsibilities.

Forget about lending or borrowing money or possessions. A partnership looks promising.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Expand your hori-

zons. There is nothing you can’t do once you have made up your mind. Go after your dreams.

Take the plunge and start something you’ve always wanted to pursue.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Romance is in the air. Lofty travel plans or expensive home renovations are best put on hold. Your budget can stretch only so far before you end up in a compromising position.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Money is in the stars. Progress will be slow at first, but you will gain momentum as the day wears on.

Patience and persistence will win out. Romance is favored.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Do what you can to help improve an ailing or elderly relative’s life. Instead of trying to keep up with the

neighbors, take stock of what you have and be thankful.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Take the initiative.

The more people you meet, the more chances you have to present what you have to offer.

Lack of participation will not bring about the changes you desire.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Make sure you protect your family and assets. Consider your security before making any hasty decisions.

Offering too much personal information will invite trouble.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Ditch your glum funk and make plans to do something enjoyable.

Attitude will make a difference as your day progresses. Sports or physical challenges will get your juices flowing.
