move to new headquarters

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com BOLINGBROOK – Swap. com intends to hire 700 additional full-time employees in 2016.

The online consignment marketplace for baby, kids, maternity and women’s clothing and accessories also announced Tuesday it has signed a long-term lease to occupy a 361,000-square-foot building at 850 Veterans Parkway in Bolingbrook.

The move will accommodate the company’s growth plans in the next few years, according to a Swap.com news release.

“We look forward to expanding our operations, inventory and team over the coming months,” Swap.com CEO and co-founder Juha Koponen said

in the release.

In an interview Tuesday, Vice President of Marketing Justin Knechtel said growth has been quicker than expected in part due to trends in consumer spending and a transition from shoppers buying new clothes to pre-owned clothing.

Swap.com’s current Bolingbrook office is 67,000 square feet.

“We’re at capacity right now,” Knechtel said, noting the new building can support a projected 10 million items in inventory.

The proximity of the new headquarters to a UPS facility also means Swap.com can twoday ship an item anywhere in the country, according to Knechtel.

He said the company currently employs about 100 peo-

ple and will add another 100 by the end of the year. The 700 jobs being added next year range from packing and merchandising to marketing, business development and customer support.

Cushman & Wakefield assisted Swap.com in leasing the new headquarters.

“The consumer shift toward online shopping versus traditional brick and mortar retail is fueling significant demand for warehouse and distribution space across the country,” Jason West, executive director with Cushman & Wakefield’s industrial brokerage group, said in the release.

“This industry trend has been widely publicized and is expected to continue as more online retailers, wholesalers and fulfillment companies emerge to satisfy consumer demand.”

Joliet police: Man slashed wife’s throat

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Joliet man faces attempted murder charges after authorities say he slashed his wife’s throat while she held their baby.

A r t h u r M. Unger, 50, went about 8:25 p.m. Saturday to a house in the 600 block Arthur M. o f P l a i n f i e l d Unger Road despite an order of protection banning him from contacting the 38-year-old woman who lives there, according to Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory.

“According to witnesses, he walked up while they were outside in the driveway and they exchanged words,” Gregory said. “When she turned to walk inside the residence, he took out a knife, made a slashing motion across her neck and took off running.”

The victim was holding the couple’s 1-year-old child

when she was attacked, according to Gregory. She and Unger are also the parents of two other children – ages 3 and 6.

“They all witnessed the attack,” Gregory said.

The victim has two other sons – ages 13 and 11.

The 13-year-old boy and his 45-year-old father pursued Unger to Ruby Street where they lost sight of him, Gregory said.

An ambulance rushed the victim, who lost a substantial amount of blood, to Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center where she went into surgery for a cut to her carotid artery, according to police reports.

Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said Tuesday the victim remained in intensive care but was able to speak with investigators.

Gregory said Unger called his mother Saturday night while investigators were speaking with her in an attempt to find him. He was found “hiding in some bushes” in the 800 block of Clement

Street, according to Gregory.

Unger was initially arrested on charges of aggravated domestic battery and violating an order of protection.

While being booked at the police station, he told police he’d taken pills in an attempt to kill himself and was taken to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox for treatment.

Unger, of the 1100 block of Woodruff Road, was booked into the Will County Jail about 3 a.m. Sunday. After the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office reviewed the case, he was charged Monday with attempted murder, unlawful use of a weapon and endangering the life or health of a child, court records stated.

Unger’s wife obtained the order of protection in May, according to court records.

Since 1988, Unger has been arrested on charges of armed violence, home invasion, theft, domestic battery, aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and battery, court records stated.

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com JOLIET – About 10 potential candidates for Will County elected seats in the March 15 general primary election waited Tuesday morning outside the County Clerk’s Office before it opened for petition pickup.

County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots opened the door and invited the candidates in, officially starting campaign season for the 2016 general primary election.

“I’m excited about getting going,” said Thomas Gilligan, who is planning to run as a Republican for a Bolingbrook-area County Board District 4 seat. “I need to have as much time as possible.”

The start of campaign season means candidates must navigate the signature-gathering process to find what works and how to avoid pitfalls.

Seats for County Board districts 1, 4, 6 and 7 are up for two-year terms. County Board districts 3, 8, 10, 12 and 13 have four-year term seats up for election. Committee membrs positions for the 303 precincts in the county are up, as are

With 14th rabid City Council signs off bat, Will County on Amazon temp agency breaks record JOLIET

O’Dekirk makes an argument for an inspector general

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet City Council approved a special-use permit Tuesday night for Integrity Staffing Solutions – a temporary staffing agency that has contracted with Amazon to provide workers for the online retail giant’s new Joliet location.

The special-use permit would allow the staffing agency – which has a four-year contract with Amazon – to house its operations at 3103 W. Jefferson St. Amazon has estimated its planned fulfillment center – where incoming online orders are received from affiliated stores to be processed and filed – would bring about 1,000 jobs to Joliet.

When the City Council learned this week about the temporary staffing agency, council member Terry Morris expressed concern Monday night that the agency’s contract with Amazon could lead to those promised jobs being temporary, not full-time.

City Manager Jim Hock

said an Amazon representative reached out to city leaders Tuesday to say the 1,000 jobs would be direct hires and the staffing agency would be responsible for hiring additional seasonal employees during peak holiday season.

In other news, the City Council also approved a Class B liquor license for The Tree, a new concert venue and business that has replaced Mojoes – a popular downtown concert venue that shut down earlier this year amid allegations of overcrowding.

Betsy Kuypers, co-owner of The Tree, thanked council members Tuesday night.

“I just want to say thank you to all of you guys. The city has been awesome. ... We’re not just a music venue and a bar. We want to be a partner with you guys,” Kuyper said, noting the addition of a coffee house upstairs and plans for other features.

As part of his plan to improve the city as new mayor, Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk suggested the city hire an inspector general to investigate

complaints made against the city.

“I think it’s an oversight that a city of our size doesn’t have [an inspector general],” O’Dekirk said.

He said a city inspector general would be beneficial in certain circumstances, such as incident last year, where allegations arose that someone leaked a legal strategy relating to the Evergreen Terrace lawsuit during a City Council executive session.

“We never really concluded whether a leak was there, and if it was, who leaked it,” O’Dekirk said. “That’s the type of thing the inspector general could look into.”

The City Council also recognized the Spanish Community Center Youth baseball and softball program for a strong season and congratulated the Joliet Police Explorers Post 220 for walking away with a deluge of awards at the recent Illinois Law Enforcement Explorer Conference.

The Joliet Police Explorers Post 220 was the highest awarded in the state at the conference.

older. It is being held in support of World Suicide Prevention Day and will follow a panel discussion on depression and suicide, according to a news release from the village.

ica, common myths and facts surrounding suicide, warning signs, risk factors and protective factors.

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com HOMER GLEN – Will County has broken last year’s record for most rabid bat cases in a single calendar year, after reporting its 14th confirmed case in 2015.

A bat was found Sunday morning flying around the bedroom of a home in the 12000 block of West Oak Court in Homer Glen, said Vic Reato, spokesman for the Will County Health Department.

Animal Control Department officials were immediately contacted and trapped the bat, Reato said. It tested positive for rabies late Monday.

“Bats are very nocturnal animals. They don’t seek the company of other living things,” Reato said. “So when you find them, and see them flying around during the day, chances are they are sick.”

Eight of the county’s 2015 confirmed rabid bat cases originated in Homer Glen.

Last month, a bat was found trapped in a Homer Glen home, and in early July, six bats were taken from a family’s attic.

Animal Control Administrator Lee Schild said in a department news release his “only logical explanation” for the large number of bats found in Homer Glen this year is that the bats are attracted to wooded areas containing sources of food and water, which are abundant in the village.

“We still have a few weeks of peak bat activity to negotiate, so it is possible that

Know more For a map of confirmed wildlife rabies cases throughout Will County in 2015, visit http://www. theherald-news.com/. we could have more of these incidents to come,” he said.

“People need to remain vigilant for bats flying near the roof or eaves of their home and should consider consulting a wildlife exclusion expert to make sure the animals are not gaining access to the inside of the home.”

With the latest incident, two people living in the home were recommended for post-exposure rabies treatment, Reato said. In all, at least three dozen area residents have received post-exposure rabies treatment in Will County this year.

Will County ranks No. 1 for the number of wildlife rabies cases for 2015, with Cook and DuPage counties having eight cases apiece so far this year, Reato said.

The county has experienced 99 wildlife rabies cases since 2002.

Rabies is a virus transmitted to humans through the bite or scratch of an infected warm-blooded animal. The virus is almost always fatal if post-exposure treatment is not quickly administered.

August and September are prime months for bat activity, health officials have said.

Residents can call 815-4625633 anytime to report contact with a bat or other wild animal.

Chapin’s in Morris closes after just over a decade; cites health

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com MORRIS – After 11 years on Liberty Street, Chapin’s has closed.

Owners Dianne and Scott Breslar announced the decision Monday in a post on Facebook addressed to “Our Dear Friends” that thanked their many customers who’ve shared their lives with them, and many local philanthropic organizations they have sponsored.

“As many of you may know, we have had family health issues that we have quietly dealt with, while trying to continue providing the quality service that has been our ongoing goal,” read the statement.

“We feel that it is in our best

interest, and yours, to pass the baton to younger, more energetic and proven entrepreneurs that have a vision of service that is equal, if not greater than ours and who plan to deliver it in a distinctive way, worthy of your patronage and loyalty,” the post continued.

The Breslars did not immediate return calls Tuesday.

Grundy County Chamber Executive Director Caroline Portlock said the Breslars have been active members of the community and she admired their ability to think ahead about the business, their family and the community.

The Breslars will continue to operate Chapin’s East Banquets and Catering and Twin Rail Pub in Minooka, according to their statement.

Where leaders of tomorrow are made

Maura Kenny and John Mathias, owners of Big Fish Grille in Wilmington, took over the former Chapin’s location Tuesday, which will be closed for a few weeks. The building is undergoing some aesthetic upgrades.

Kenny said the goal is to debut as Chop Shop Grille by the start of Grundy County Corn Festival, which is Sept. 20, or Oct. 1 at the latest.

The Chop Shop Grille will be a steakhouse featuring a woodfired grill and great wines, Kenny said. The Breslars contacted her and Mathias about becoming owners of the location.

“The Breslars are pillars in the community,” Kenny said.

“They wanted someone [to take over who is] local who they’re comfortable with.

Teen shot in Joliet alley Victim shot in shoulder, expected to survive

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 15-year-old boy was shot in the shoulder Monday night during a drive-by shooting. He is expected to survive.

The incident occurred about 8:40 p.m. in the 1500 block of Fairmont Avenue, according to Deputy Chief Ed Gregory.

“The victim said he was walking in the alley behind Fairmont when he heard shots.

He went to see what was going on and saw two black men shooting from a white pickup truck,” Gregory said.

The boy then ran down the alley and was shot once in the right shoulder. He continued running to a nearby house and called police, according to Gregory. The wound is not

Brooke Baker Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District administrative coordinator South Cook doesn’t receive county funding.

“Now we’re not guaranteed we’ll be in this year’s budget,” Baker said.

She pointed out layoff notices with a date of Sept. 30 have been sent to eight Illinois Department of Agriculture employees downstate. At least 171 state employees would be laid

off, according to published reports.

The Bureau of Land and Water Resources, within the Department of Agriculture, distributes funds to Illinois’ soil and water conservation districts for programs aimed at reducing soil loss and protecting water quality. It also helps organize the state’s yearly soil survey to track progress toward the goal of reducing soil loss on Illinois cropland. According to published reports, employees at this bureau in Springfield have layoff notices of Sept. 30, too.

Mitchell said these are people she communicates with on a regular basis.

“Our administrative support would no longer be there,” Mitchell said. “The money allocated to agricultural landowners comes through the bureau.”

Baker said the Grundy County SWCD has done more with less for years. It has managed to keep all programs with hard work and help from sponsors. This includes Lady Landowner Day, Fish and Tree Sales, Ag Breakfasts and other events.

The Illinois budget crisis continues to threaten communities and many governmental entities in the state in different ways.

If a state budget for fiscal 2016 isn’t passed by Sept. 30, employees of the 97 soil and water conservation districts in Illinois – which includes both the Grundy County and WillSouth Cook County districts – will lose their health insurance.

Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District Administrative Coordinator Brooke Baker said employees in many counties will not be working, either.

“There would be no employees in office and no services provided [in Grundy County],” Baker said.

Baker works 25 hours a week, and the other Grundy County SWCD employee left last fall for a teaching job because of the lack of funding.

Each district is supposed to have at least two employees.

At the Will-South Cook SWCD, three employees are working – two full-time and one part-time. District Manager Kim Mitchell said her district would lose health insurance but it would be able to work, at least in the short term, because much of their work is done through privately paid mandates.

The Will-South Cook SWCD represents the Illinois EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in programs that permit and monitor construction sites, ensuring development does not have a negative impact on water quality.

“We’re a little more stable in the near future than Grundy due to construction oversight,” Mitchell said. “But long term is another story.”

One would think the budget impasse eventually would have an impact on the IEPA mandate, Mitchell said, but so far the state hasn’t said it would.

The most immediate threat from the impasse is to health insurance and employment.

Baker said SWCD’s have a total of 165 employees statewide, give or take a few fulland part-time staff. This has decreased, as SWCD’s used to have more than 200 employees

across the state, with some districts having more than two in each district, she said.

“2008 was kind of the beginning of this,” Baker said. “But the last two or three years have been pretty bad.”

Many offices have cut down because of funding issues. Baker said funding of the Grundy County Soil and Water Conservation District was cut 70 percent from 2008 to 2014. Last year, an additional 36 percent was cut out of the $18,000 it was promised.

Some districts receive funding from county boards, Baker said. The Grundy County SWCD gets about $2,500 from the Grundy County board.

Some counties receive $25,000 to $40,000. Mitchell said Will-

Budget crisis could impact conservation employees

Palos Park officials respond to Lemont outcry on annexation

By DAN FARNHAM dfarnham@shawmedia.com LEMONT – Palos Park Mayor John Mahoney and Village Manager Rick Boehm said they dispute the village of Lemont’s characterization of their annexation negotiations in eastern Lemont Township as an aggressive land grab that will have a negative effect on nearby residents.

Property owners of Cog Hill Golf and Country Club, Gleneagles Country Club, Ludwig Farms and Mid Iron Golf Club have talked with Palos Park about annexing into the village since 2009.

Mahoney said it was the property owners who came to Palos Park to start negotiations.

“They feel that Palos Park best meets their needs in terms of the type of community they want to associate with,” Mahoney said.

Lemont officials said they learned about a deal between the Forest Preserve District of Cook County and Palos Park to annex a portion of forest preserve land that would give Palos Park property close enough to the Lemont Township properties to be able to annex them.

Lemont Mayor Brian Reaves said the forest preserve district is being used as a pawn in a land dispute between Lemont and Palos Park.

Boehm said the forest preserve district approached Palos Park in January 2014 about providing water from Lake Michigan for a police station to replace the well water it was using.

He said Palos Park agreed to provide the water in exchange for annexing the land to give Palos Park a corridor to annex the Lemont Township properties if it is able to reach an annexation agreement with the property owners.

“While this could provide a conduit for properties to annex into Palos Park, it does nothing to force them into annexation,” he said.

Lemont officials are concerned about what kind of de-

velopments would be allowed on the properties – in particular, Ludwig Farm and Mid Iron.

Boehm said neither annexation nor new developments on the properties are imminent.

He said Cog Hill and Gleneagles plan to remain golf clubs for the foreseeable future.

Ludwig Farm has discussed a residential development of single-family homes and townhomes, and Mid Iron has discussed office buildings and light retail, he said.

He said the market eventu-

ally will dictate development on the land, regardless of which village it is part of.

Mahoney said Palos Park will encourage high-quality developments and consider how they may affect nearby residents who are not part of their village.

He said he is not surprised

by Lemont area residents’ frustration over potentially losing these properties.

“I understand how much it means to them,” he said. “I understand they have a passion for what they do. They are disappointed. I would feel the same way.”

Will County Board District 4 member Kenneth Harris, D-Bolingbrook, said candidates should knock on people’s doors and talk to district residents.

“People see you,” he said.

“I always vote, but candidates don’t come to my door. Get out and talk to as many people as you can.”

Martin, also a Republican, pulled a petition to run for District 2 board member.

But first out of all was Callahan, who said it wasn’t his goal to be first to pull a petition but planned to do it Tuesday, so he did it as early as he could. Callahan is seeking a fifth term as coroner.

“It’s exciting to pull a petition,” Callahan said. “It’s part of the process. I’m looking forward to running.”

As of 4 p.m. Tuesday, Angela McDonald was the lone Democrat to pull a petition Tuesday. She’s running for precinct committee member.

The primary election is March 15. The last day the County Clerk’s Office will accept petition filing for the primary is Nov. 30. The general election is Nov. 8, 2016.

STATE & NATION BRIEFS Illinois House gears up to In fact, it’s just the opposite. The override union-strike veto 2-mile-long chock of solid ice SPRINGFIELD – One of the subplots of the summer-long Illinois budget standoff will take center stage this week with a likely attempt by House Democrats to restore legislation they said would prevent labor unrest.

The House convenes Wednesday to consider overriding GOP Gov. Bruce Rauner’s veto of a proposal that would put a potential labor contract impasse in the hands of an outside arbitrator, rather than risk a strike or a lockout.

Rauner and the state’s largest employee union, Council 31 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, have been negotiating since winter on a contract to replace one that expired June 30. In May, Democrats proposed the bill to let either the state or AFSCME call in an independent arbitrator should negotiations break down. The arbitrator would take the two sides’ best offers and choose one.

In climate bid, Obama views melting glacier

SEWARD, Alaska – President Barack Obama stared down a melting glacier in Alaska on Tuesday in a dramatic use of his presidential pulpit to sound the alarm on climate change.

From a distance, Exit Glacier appears as a river of white and blue flowing down through the mountains toward lower terrain.

has been retreating at a faster and faster pace in recent years – more than 800 feet since 2008, satellite tracking shows.

“This is as good of a signpost of what we’re dealing with when it comes to climate change as just about anything,” Obama said.

Obama trekked up to the glacier with photographers in tow in a carefully choreographed excursion aimed at calling attention to the ways human activity is degrading cherished natural wonders.

Ky. clerk cites God, defies courts on gay marriage

MOREHEAD, Ky. – Invoking “God’s authority,” a county clerk denied marriage licenses to gay couples again Tuesday in direct defiance of the federal courts, and vowed not to resign, even under the pressure of steep fines or jail.

“It is not a light issue for me,” Rowan County Clerk Kim Davis said later through her lawyers.

“It is a heaven-or-hell decision.”

April Miller and Karen Roberts, tailed by TV cameras and rival activists, were there when the doors opened Tuesday morning, hours after the Supreme Court rejected the clerk’s last-ditch request for a delay.

They hoped Davis would accept that her fight was lost and issue the licenses, ending the monthslong controversy. Instead, Davis once again turned them away.

Law enforcement members sweep an area near Frontage Road and Fox Ridge Drive in Fox Lake during a manhunt Tuesday for three people suspected in the killing of a Fox Lake police officer.

Manhunt for three in fatal shooting of Fox Lake officer

By EMILY K. COLEMAN and KATIE DAHLSTROM ecoleman@shawmedia.com kdahlstrom@shawmedia.com FOX LAKE – More than a hundred police officers scoured terrain just miles from the site of another manhunt that occurred less than a year before, but Tuesday’s frantic search was done with the knowledge that this time they were searching for a cop killer.

Fox Lake Lt. Charles Joseph Gliniewicz – known as “G.I. Joe” to friends and the Fox Lake community and set to retire at the end of September, the village’s mayor said – was killed Tuesday morning after he told dispatchers he was going to investigate three suspicious men, Lake County Detective Chris Covelli said.

The officer’s last call to dispatchers before contact was lost was that he was involved in a foot chase in the area of Sayton Road and Route 12, Covelli said. The first officers who responded to the scene found Gliniewicz with a gunshot wound.

The search for the three men – described only as two white men and one black man – continued well into Tuesday night.

Gliniewicz is the 83rd police officer in the U.S. to die on duty this year, the 24th to be shot nonaccidentally, according to the Officer Down Memorial Page. Last year, 47 officers were fatally shot.

Some came out to the streets to show their support.

A group of supporters who lined Route 12 near a police staging area held signs such as “Police Lives Matter.”

An emotional Mayor Donny Schmit addressed the media Tuesday, speaking about the loss of his friend, describing him as a decorated officer and a father of four boys who was dedicated to the community.

This past October, two McHenry County deputies, Dwight Maness and Khalia Satkiewicz, were shot and wounded when they responded to a well-being check at a Holiday Hills home. Scott Peters was sentenced in June to 135 years in prison for those shootings.

Tuesday’s search involved numerous air and K-9 units, as well as dozens of police officers from across northern Illinois and from state agencies, Covelli said. The search area encompassed Fox Lake and some unincorporated areas.

Area schools, including those in Grant Community High School District 124, McHenry Elementary School District 15, Prairie Grove School District 46 and Woodstock School District 200, were placed on lockdown, and police were on site at some schools during parent pickup.

Metra train service to Fox Lake on the Milwaukee North line was stopped for much of the day, resuming around 7 p.m., although the Ingleside station remained closed after that. The Federal Aviation Administration declared a two-mile no-fly zone over Fox Lake up to 3,000 feet to clear the area for police helicopters.

Area residents were urged to stay indoors and to report suspicious activity.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR 1 percent have left America out to dry

To the Editor: The question keeps coming up: “How does that socialist commie Bernie Sanders expect to pay for all of this free stuff?”

He wants to impose what essentially amounts to a sales tax on Wall Street.

You remember Wall Street?

The people we bailed out when they crashed the economy? Yeah, those guys. He also wants to raise the top marginal tax rate.

Do you know how the top marginal rate works?

Every dollar made under $500,000 gets taxed at the normal rate. Every dollar over gets taxed at the top

marginal rate. If the top rate was 50 percent, a hedge fund manager or CEO making $25,000,000 that year still goes home with more than $10,000,000.

Even if you were in the 1 percent, you should want a higher top marginal tax rate. During the ’50s and ’60s, the top marginal rate was 70 percent to 90 percent. We had a thriving economy, our middle class was the envy of the world, we beat communism, put a man on the moon, built the highways and invented the Internet.

The 1 percent have left America out to dry.

Remembering Mom’s and Dad’s anniversary BROOKLYN, Ill. – As the morning sun peeked through the shades of my bedroom, I kissed my wife, Joan, and whispered, “I’m heading to the cemetery.”

Her eyes flickered open and she asked, “Why?” “It’s Mom’s and Dad’s anniversary.”

She nodded and fell back to sleep.

My parents were married nearly 62 years.

Mom died two years ago, and my father died Aug. 2.

My children weep for Grandpa. I often wake up with tears in my eyes. I find myself mourning not only my father but my mother’s death all over again.

Mom died slowly, painfully, of cancer. Her death was long anticipated and a relief when it arrived.

I held her hand as her life slipped away.

Dad’s death came swiftly, unexpectedly. He died alone.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

I thought about their marriage as I drove to the Schuyler County cemetery a little over an hour west of my home.

What made their marriage strong?

My dad, Donald, first laid eyes on my mother when he was a teenager visiting a hospital. A pretty blonde nursing student brought him a glass of water.

He knew she was friends with the gal he was dating.

He broke it off with his girlfriend, and asked her to set him up with her friend, Roberta.

Oddly enough, she did.

The attraction was strong.

To have and to hold …

To look at them, they were an unlikely couple.

At 5 feet, 10 inches, my mother towered over my father. He was dark. She was fair. She was shy, he was outgoing. He liked risk; she

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder craved security.

Despite their differences, or perhaps because of them, they became inseparable.

They wed Aug. 31, 1954.

For richer, for poorer …

Both of my parents grew up poor but desired more.

They scrimped and saved and lived in a repurposed army barracks while my dad studied at the University of Illinois.

Two children arrived before graduation, and I followed several years later.

Together, my parents started and built two businesses.

Dad had the “big ideas.”

She had the attention to detail.

She worried. Dad dreamed.

For better, for worse …

Their life had joys and sorrows.

They buried my brother after a long and painful disease.

But they both lived to hold each of their seven grandchildren.

And they knew the joy of serving others. Together, they led construction and medical mission trips to Latin American.

And they both sacrificed to help the homeless in my hometown of Galesburg.

In sickness and in health …

In 2003, my father was diagnosed with a cancer few physicians thought he would survive. But he not only survived but thrived after undergoing brutal chemotherapy regimens, which Mom nursed him through.

My mother battled cancer for a decade. My father was her constant companion, gently lifting her from her

bed when she could not walk, fretting over each new sore or lesion.

He called out, “Save a place for me in heaven,” as she gasped her last breaths.

In the two years after her death, Dad was bewildered without his mate. Tears would well whenever her name was mentioned. My sister and I would take him out each Aug. 31 to celebrate their anniversary.

And Dad would pray, thanking God for the marriage.

As I walked toward my parents’ grave, I laid flowers before the tombstone and quietly whispered, “Happy anniversary, Mom and Dad.”

Lockport’s Robert Sible heads the ball during a match Tuesday against Lincoln-Way West at Lockport.

BOYS SOCCER

POSITIVE PLAY

Lincoln-Way West, Lockport play to 2-all draw in second round of Lemont Invite

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Some people look at a draw in a soccer match and wonder whether anything positive was determined.

But that’s not how the coaches from Lincoln-Way West and Lockport viewed things after their boys squads battled to a 2-all standoff in Tuesday’s second-round

match in the Lemont Invite.

The Warriors grabbed a 2-0 lead in the first 16 minutes, but the Porters answered with two goals of their own to even the score less than half an hour into the contest.

Both sides had chances after that, but neither could connect; and as a result, West (2-0-1) is 1-0-1 going into Thursday’s match with Plainfield East, while Lockport (1-0-2) moves to 0-0-2 before meeting

Lemont.

“I thought there were a couple of opportunities where maybe we could have made it 3-0 and possibly put this game away,” Warriors coach Jeff Theiss said. “But we were confident at halftime, and part of me was happy that it occurred.

You have to experience adversity and build on how you’re going to respond to that, and I think this group did a great job with that.

“In the second half, legs were tired, it was a hot day and a big field. We played a little more direct than we’re used to, but that’s a credit to Lockport, which put a lot of early pressure on the ball. I’m happy with the way that these guys responded, and we created three quality chances in the second half. We don’t want things to be easy – we want the challenge.”

After getting a pair of goals

from Zak Pavlovich in the early going, things suddenly became more challenging for the Warriors when they were called for a foul in the box in the 27th minute. After David Villa put in the penalty, the Porters evened the score when Tommy Calderaro put in a rebound of a deflected try in the 30th minute.

“It was positive that we

See SOCCER, page 19

In two minor league starts, Roark pitched four shutout innings for Single-A-Advanced Potomac on Aug. 26; and two innings, allowing one run, Monday night for Double-A Harrisburg.

Here’s hoping Roark gets a shot at starting for the Nationals this month and winds up in that role next season. The year he had in 2014 certainly suggests he can be a valuable piece in a good major league rotation.

His lifetime ERA in 3312⁄3 big-league innings is a very respectable 3.04.

MORE FROM THE MOUND

Two other Joliet area pitchers, right-hander Mike Foltynewicz (Minooka) and lefty Tony Cingrani (Lincoln-Way Central), also have experienced issues.

Foltynewicz, who has a 5.71 ERA in 862⁄3 innings with the Atlanta Braves, missed his start Monday night because of what was reported as a

VIEWS Dick Goss fever and viral symptoms. If healthy, he may start Wednesday’s game against Miami.

Cingrani’s season has been hampered by left shoulder problems. He was with the Cincinnati Reds early on, then was sent to Triple-A Louisville. He made a start Aug. 23 for the Bats, only his second appearance there since July 27, and left after three innings with shoulder discomfort. You wonder if he will have an opportunity to pitch again this season.

GORDIE SHOWCASE

Received a note from a good baseball man, John Sarna. He is with the Chicago Scouts Association, which is conducting the Gordie Gillespie Memorial Showcase on Saturday and Sunday at Nash

Park in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Twenty-eight teams are entered, largely from northern Illinois and around the Midwest. Each team will play four games. The players are in the high school classes of 2016 and 2017.

Sarna, who grew up in Lockport, explained why Gillespie’s name is attached to the event.

“I happened to know Gordie and about the many people he affected,” he said.

“Right after he passed away, a bunch of us got together and said we wanted to do something in his memory.

It was amazing what Gordie represented, what he meant to that many people.

“Hopefully, having his name attached to this event will evoke some conversation about him even among people who did not know him. We want everyone to know what he was all about.”

Sarna said the Gordie Gillespie Memorial in effect

is the beginning of the fall baseball season that will end Oct. 22-26 when the Chicago Scouts Association takes a team to Jupiter, Florida, for the national tournament.

“We had Nick Dalesandro from Joliet Catholic with us there last year,” he said.

PATRIOTS ROCK

The Lincoln-Way Patriots semipro football team beat Rockton, 45-13, last weekend to advance into the Mid-States Football League championship game against the Racine Raiders at 7 p.m. Sept. 12 at Wedgebury Stadium in Loves Park.

The Patriots, who finished the regular season with an 8-0 record and won the Southern Division, placed six players on the All-Mid-States Southern first team. Among them is former University of St. Francis receiver Lexus Jackson.

Early-season games help ‘find out what players can play’ • SOCCER

Continued from page 18 fought back to tie it at 2 after going down 2-0 and with the way that Lincoln-Way West was playing with good rhythm and energy,” Porters coach Chris Beal said. “I think the PK turned the game a little bit, and mentally we got more into the game. After we got the second goal, we were quite positive going into halftime.

“The second half was very even.

I think that we had chances that we should have converted, and we didn’t.

We need to be more creative going into the final third, and we need to take our chances. These early games are very important to find out what players can play and what things need to change, both system-wise and personnel-wise.”

Shortly after West’s Kyle Seymour forced Porter keeper Jakub Krawczyk to dive to halt the first good chance of the match, Luke James sent a throw in to Pavlovich, who headed an attempt just inside the post to put the Warriors up 1-0 in the sixth minute.

Then in the 16th minute, Jake Galounis found Pavlovich, who drove downfield past defenders before firing off a shot to give his team a 2-0 lead.

Lincoln-Way West’s Zak Pavlovich (middle, in black) scores a goal as Lockport’s Zach Stojak (front) is unable to block him during a match Tuesday at Lockport. Pavlovich scored both of Lincoln-Way West’s goals in the first half.

“I think we pride ourselves on playing to the end and giving it our all the entire game,” West senior Justin Yaeger said. “But that has a lot to do with our conditioning.

“We’ve got eight returning starters, so we’re a technical team and fast.

We’re a little bit smaller, but we battle, and we’re a scrappy team. Our work rate has a lot to do with the style that

we play. I like how creative we are. I think that we will be able to go pretty far this year.”

After converting the penalty, the Porters threatened again when David Kordaczka sent a pass to Nick Kowalczyk, whose try was deflected by keeper Gus Petrungaro. But the loose ball went to Calderaro, who put in a closerange shot to tie the score.

“It was good to be able to come back, but in the future we want to have a quick start and don’t want to go down 2-nil at the beginning of a game,” Calderaro said. “Our resiliency is good, but we want to put pressure on other teams right away and not absorb everything.

“It’s tough losing 10 seniors, but this is a whole new group of guys that has chemistry from working together over the summer. We’ve learned to fill our new roles and do different things in order to be successful. I like how we have fun, but get the work done, too.”

In the second half, Galounis and Pavlovich were denied early on while Kowalczyk and Pavlovich were turned away near the midway mark. In the late going, Yaeger and Lockport’s Jakub Podczerwinski were thwarted before the Porters just missed connecting on a sequence from Villa to Nick Calderaro to Jack Dilger during the final minute.

As a baseball fan on the outside looking in, you almost feel sorry for Tanner Roark.

The Wilmington graduate got his opportunity to start last season with the Washington Nationals and excelled.

He finished 15-10 with a 2.85 ERA. In the offseason, however, the Nationals signed free agent Max Scherzer, and Roark was relegated to the bullpen. The right-hander has started occasionally this season when pressed into that duty but largely has worked in relief and has not had the season he enjoyed a year ago.

His ERA was at 4.54 in 791⁄3 innings a little over a week ago. That’s when the Nationals told him they were sending him to the minor leagues to make a couple of starts and get his arm stretched out so he could return to Washington this month and perhaps rejoin the rotation, as 22-yearold Joe Ross may be shut down for the season.

Jermon Bushrod signs autographs for fans during a Family Fest event Aug 8 at Soldier Field.

BEARS NOTES

By NATE ATKINS natkins@chicagofootball.com LAKE FOREST – Thirteen players missed the final practice of the preseason Tuesday at Halas Hall, and some who were present found themselves in the middle of two skirmishes with hours to go before the first round of roster cuts are due.

Left tackle Jermon Bushrod was the notable new absence, held out with back issues as he has been at points this offseason. Charles Leno Jr. started in his place at left tackle, leaving right tackle reps mostly to Jordan Mills, with a few for Kyle Long.

Mills was one of many players involved in the two skirmishes that broke out in the trenches. In the first, David Bass took some swings at Martellus Bennett. In the second, Ego Ferguson was the one swinging, apparently directed at Mills and guard Lucas Nix. After practice, John Fox said he thought the emotions were normal for a cut day under the hot sun, even though only one more player was to be waived by 3 p.m. to get the roster to 75. Long echoed the idea.

“There are guys out here fighting for their lives, their wives, their children,” Long said. “... So it happens.”

Thirteen players miss: In addition to Bushrod, a new injury today came to receiver AJ Cruz, who left early with a foot situation.

Eleven players sat out for the second straight day: Matt Forte (veterans day), Alshon Jeffery (calf), Eddie Royal (hip), Marquess Wilson

(hamstring), Senorise Perry (foot), Sam Acho (illness), Eddie Goldman (concussion), Jimmy Clausen (concussion), Jeremiah Ratliff (ankle), Jon Bostic (ankle) and Tracy Porter (hamstring).

“I’m not overly concerned,” Fox said of the series of injuries coming this late in the preseason. “I’m concerned about everything. I’d rather have guys out there. But the key right now is getting them to the regular season.”

A promising sign for the Bears was having Royal and Wilson outside for the second straight day for some stretching, light running and tossing the ball back and forth.

Clausen and Bostic also did some light work, and Goldman was on the sidelines.

Jeffery still hasn’t appeared at practice since his calf injury three weeks ago, although Fox said he has been at the team facility this week. As usual, Fox shut down questions regarding the severity of Jeffery’s injury, reiterating that “it’s on to tomorrow.” He said he didn’t think conditioning would be an issue for the No. 1 receiver when he does return to the field.

“It’s not like he’s sitting there eating bon-bons,” Fox said. “So he’s conditioning.”

Quick hits: Fox said to expect the lightest work of the preseason for the starters in Thursday’s finale against the Browns at Soldier Field. ... Adrian Amos and Mason Foster had practice interceptions, with Foster’s coming on an acrobatic tumble to the ground. He also dropped an interception in the end zone.

GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

Coal City 25-25, Dwight 14-14: Mackenzie Bugg recorded 16 assists off 26 attempts, while adding six aces and two kills to lead the visiting Coalers (1-2) in the nonconference victory. Kenady Clayburn had three kills, two solo blocks and Abby Washburn had four aces.

Slammers’ early runs hold up in victory over Crushers STAFF REPORTS AVON, Ohio – The Joliet Slammers scored three runs in the first inning to take control for good in Tuesday’s 5-3 Frontier League victory at Lake Erie.

After the Crushers got one run back in their half of the first inning, the Slammers added two more runs in the third to complete their scoring.

That was plenty of run support for starter and winner Andrew Strenge, who allowed three runs on eight hits while striking out three in six in-

nings. Dan Tobik didn’t allow any hits in two innings, and Navery Moore only yielded one in the final inning to record the save.

Carter Bell hit his seventh home run and Marc Flores (2 for 4, 2 RBIs) belted his fifth home to lead Joliet’s attack.

Also, Jeremy Nowak went 2 for 4, while Mike Garza was 2 for 5.

The Slammers finish off their road schedule at Lake Erie over the next two days before returning home to Silver Cross Field this weekend for the final series against Rockford.

CHICAGO BASEBALL ROUNDUP Schwarber hits 2-run HR WHAT TO WATCH to power Cubs past Reds CHICAGO – Kyle Schwarber hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the seventh inning, and Kris Bryant had three hits as the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds, 5-4, on Tuesday night.

Schwarber sent a deep drive into the left-center field bleachers on a 3-2 pitch from Burke Badenhop (1-4). The blast scored Dexter Fowler, who had singled with two outs.

Bryant drove in two runs for the Cubs, who had lost five of six but is still in good shape for its first playoff berth since 2008. The Cubs entered play Tuesday 5½ games ahead of San Francisco for the NL’s second wild card spot.

In five innings, Dan Haren gave up two runs and four hits while striking out four.

Sano sparks Twins in rally past White Sox

MINNEAPOLIS – Miguel Sano’s towering home run tied the game for Minnesota in the seventh inning, and two White Sox errors aided the go-ahead rally in the eighth for the Twins in an 8-6 victory Tuesday night over the Sox. Eduardo Escobar’s leadoff double, his third hit, started the trouble for Zach Duke (3-5), who threw away a sacrifice bunt attempt by Kurt Suzuki for one run.

Glen Perkins recorded his 32nd save, his first in 16 days, despite a three-hit ninth that included an RBI single by Saladino.

Avasail Garcia’s two-run homer in the sixth inning gave Chris Sale and the Sox a 4-3 lead, but manager Robin Ventura pulled the lanky left-hander with one out in the seventh for hard-throwing righty Nate Jones for the right-handed heart of Minnesota’s order. Sano drove a full-count, two-out slider into the second deck.

What is an automatic standby generator?

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.

Beer-Brined Pork Chops with Barbecue Onions

et’s face it: A cookout on Labor Day, that bittersweet farewell to summer, tends to attract

the hedonistic hordes. Your challenge as host is to come up with something that’s simple

to prepare, but not boring. These pork chops do the job splendidly.

Once upon a time, pork chops were pretty rich. These days, they’re lean enough to be

marketed as “the other white meat.” Health-wise, you can’t beat them. Flavor-wise and texture-wise? You’ll have to baby them a little so they don’t dry out. And I find the best bet to ensure chops turn out moist and toothsome is to brine them before you cook them.

When meat is brined – marinated in a solution of salt and water – the salt not only deeply penetrates and seasons the meat, it also changes the structure of the meat’s proteins, enabling it to retain liquid during cooking.

Typically, a brine is comprised of salt and water, but here I’ve swapped out the water for beer and further flavored it with fresh rosemary and garlic. The barbecued onions consist of nothing more than onions and barbecue sauce. Just be sure to cook the onions until they’re very brown and soft before adding the barbecue sauce. And try to pick

a sauce that’s not too sweet; the onions alone will be plenty sweet after they’ve browned.

As mentioned, you don’t want to overcook the pork. Well-done pork is a no-no, even if it has been brined. Until fairly recently, the government recommended cooking pork to an internal temperature of 160 degrees F to guarantee the killing of the parasite called trichinosis, which was prevalent in pork. Thankfully, these days health officials say 145 degrees F is plenty hot to get the job done. And that’s a good thing for flavor.

The best way to determine a

pork chop’s doneness is to insert an instant thermometer into the side of the chop, not straight down from the top. To get the most accurate reading, be sure the thermometer penetrates the meat a couple of inches at least. As soon as the chop reaches 140 degrees F, pull it off the grill and let it rest for 8 minutes before serving it. The meat finishes cooking during this rest. It also gives the meat’s juices time to redistribute.

If you don’t let the chop rest after it cooks, most of its juices will stream out willy-nilly, leaving a dry pork chop, which is almost as sad as the days getting shorter.

In a large bowl or gallon zip-close plastic bag, combine the beer, 3 tablespoons of salt, the rosemary and garlic. Stir until the salt is dissolved. Add the pork chops, then refrigerate, turning the chops every so often, for 4 to 6 hours.

Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium-high, heat the 2 tablespoons of oil.

Reduce the heat to medium, then add the onions and a hefty pinch of salt. Sauté until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Stir in the barbecue sauce and set aside.

When the chops are almost done marinating, heat one side of the grill to medium, leave the other side off.

Use paper towels to pat the chops dry, then brush them with oil and season with pepper. Grill over the flames until nicely browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chops to the cooler side of the grill and cook until the pork reaches an internal temperature of 138 degrees F. Top each chop with a quarter of the barbecue onions and a quarter of the cheese. Cover and cook, until the cheese is melted, 1 to 2 minutes more.

Transfer the pork to a plate and let it rest, covered, for 8 minutes.

PUZZLES CROSSWORD

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

If you tell partner, you tell opponents

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Evan Esar, a humorist who died in 1995, said, “A signature always reveals a man’s character – and sometimes even his name.”

A bridge bid (at least in theory) always reveals something about your hand – not only to partner, but also to the opponents. This makes it a double-edged sword. You hope it will help your side to reach the best contract, but not give the defenders sufficient information to defeat you.

This deal occurred during a social game. Look at the North hand. Your partner opens one no-trump, showing 15-17 points. What would you respond?

In my opinion, there is a strong case for raising straight to three no-trump. You have honors in both of your doubletons and a strong five-card minor. It is true that if you have a 4-4 spade fit and can make game in that suit but not in no-trump, you had better use Stayman. But the odds are against that. And here, if you use Stayman, you tell the defenders that partner has four hearts and you have four spades.

You are more likely to attract a diamond lead than the major-suit lead that would be almost certain after one no-trump – three no-trump.

Here, if North does not use Stayman, West will probably lead a heart, after which the contract makes easily. Declarer just plays low from the dummy to set up a minimum of two spades, two hearts and five clubs.

After a Stayman auction, West might well start with the diamond nine, which kills the contract. Yes, if he chooses a spade, not a heart, the contract should also fail, but keeping the opponents in the dark is often beneficial.

the attention of the eye doctor.

INCREASED GLARE. This can be temporary or permanent.

DISLOCATION OF THE REPLACEMENT LENS. If the lens shifts out of place, it may need to be repositioned during a second surgical procedure.

CLOUDING OF THE LENS CAPSULE. The capsule is the thin, clear membrane that surrounds the lens.

It’s the pouch inside of which the lens sits.

Clouding of this membrane is usually not a significant problem and can be treated with laser surgery, if needed.

INCREASED PRESSURE IN THE EYE. Medications can usually control the pressure.

ASTIGMATISM. Distorted images, caused by irregular curving of the cornea, can be managed with glasses or surgery.

STRABISMUS. Your eyes will be crossed, they won’t focus on the same object at the same time, or you’ll have double vision. This is sometimes temporary. If it is permanent, it can be treated with eyeglass modifications or, rarely, eye muscle surgery.

DROOPING OF THE UPPER EYELID. If the drooping is severe, it can be treated with lid muscle surgery.

Maybe you read this list of possible complications and thought, “It sounds like the surgery does more harm than good!” Don’t get cold feet.

These complications are unusual and treatable.

Dear Dr. K: I am having cataract surgery in a few weeks. Can you describe the possible complications?

Dear Reader: A cataract is a clouding of the normally clear lens of the eye. As the condition worsens, you may experience blurred or dim vision, increased glare, double vision, nearsightedness and worsening night vision.

Surgery is the only effective cure. During cataract surgery, the doctor removes the clouded lens and replaces it with a clear artificial lens. (I’ve put an illustration of the procedure on my website, askdoctork.com.)

Cataract surgery is generally very safe. I know, because I’ve had it. But all operations involve some risk. Following are some potential complications: EYE INFECTION. You will receive antibiotics before, during and after surgery to minimize this risk. If you do develop an infection (symptoms include red, swollen, painful eyes and a decline in vision), see your doctor right away.

SWELLING AND FLUID IN THE RETINA. Symptoms include blurred or reduced central vision. This can be treated with steroid injections or nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drops.

SWELLING OF THE CLEAR COVERING OF THE EYE (THE CORNEA). You may notice blurred vision or halos around lights. This complication is often temporary.

BLEEDING INSIDE THE EYE. You may see blood or have blurred vision and floaters. Bleeding often clears on its own. Occasionally, surgery is needed to clear the bleeding.

RETINAL DETACHMENT. This rare complication, in which the retina pulls away from the blood vessels that supply it, is an emergency. It can be treated successfully if brought immediately to

timized in this way. Phone and online scams have more than proliferated this year; they appear to have metastasized.

No less than five individuals I know have been approached by scammers trying to lure them into money-losing “propositions.” Two of them were told they were having problems with their tax returns. (Not true.) Two others got the “Grandma, please don’t tell my parents, but I’m in jail and need bail money” phone calls. One of the women is childless; the other told the caller, “That’s funny. You didn’t mention it when I talked to you two hours ago.” (The caller hung up on her.)

It takes courage and trust to open oneself up to a stranger you hope could become the love of your life. Romance scammers know this can make people vulnerable. According to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), this particular type of scammer typically tries to lure potential victims away from a dating website and communicate privately by email or instant messages.

They tend to profess their love very quickly, and spin elaborate tales about business ventures, overseas travel or family problems that end in requests for money or favors from their mark. According to a recent FBI report, romance scams made up more than 10 percent of the $800 million in Internet crimes committed against Americans last year.

Readers, as much as you might want to believe the impassioned appeals, guard your hearts and your bank accounts from these scammers. Report them to your dating website and to FTC.gov.

Protect yourselves by visiting USA.gov/scams-and-frauds and learning how dozens of these scams work and where to report it if you have been victimized.

Dear Abby: I was recently the target of a romance scam on a popular singles website.

After being a divorcee for 15 years, I decided to try online dating. Minutes after I went online, someone asked to chat.

He said he was a widower with an adult daughter and a jeweler by trade, living near me but returning to Florida the next day with ultimate plans to relocate to my area.

He mentioned he was originally from Germany and had an accent. We chatted on Google Hangouts, and he sent me sweet emails every morning saying how much he loved meeting me and that it was “our time to have a second chance.”

After three weeks of chatting but only a short, garbled phone conversation, he asked for a favor. He was attending a jewelry show and needed me to send his diamond supplier money to pay for a shipment.

He made it sound urgent and gave me a name and address in Ghana where he could get the best quality diamonds at the best price.

All along I had kept my guard up, but his request confirmed for me that it was a scam. When I Googled the Ghana name and address, it came back “Ghana Scammer.” Abby, these people even provided photos of the person they pretended to be, along with a cellphone and address that actually were under the name of the person they were impersonating.

A couple of telltale signs people should be aware of: First, if you don’t talk to them or their cellphone seems to have a very bad connection, it’s likely they aren’t in the country. Second: If you can’t meet in person, it’s likely they’re pretending to be someone else. He told me that his email had been hacked, and then someone tried to have a conversation from his email asking me personal questions about my retirement funds.

Please help me warn others about these types of scams. –
