Police mourn passing of K-9 dog

By VIKAAS SHANKER vshanker@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – The Plainfield Police Department lost a best friend Sunday when one of its K-9 officers fell ill.

K-9 Aron, one of the department’s two service dogs, was euthanized after officials discovered he could not undergo life-saving surgery.

Aron was 10 years old and served with the department for about eight years, specializing in narcotics and missing person detection, as well as suspect apprehension. Police officials planned to retire Aron over the next year or two, Sgt. Mike Fisher said.

“He was as important as any other officer on the department,” said Fisher, speaking on behalf of Aron’s handler, Officer Brian Wagner.

During Aron’s shift Sun-

of Ortiz.

“He’ll be greatly missed by a lot of people. Even if he hadn’t heard from you in a while, you called him up, he’d say ‘Whatever you need,’ ” she said.

She said Ortiz grew up in New Lenox and was a very experienced motorcycle rider.

day, Wagner noticed Aron wasn’t feeling well and his behavior was off. So Aron was rushed to an emergency animal care facility, Fisher said.

Veterinarians determined the cause of Aron’s illness was internal bleeding.

Fisher said Aron formed a strong bond with Wagner since the two were paired for training Sept. 11, 2006 at the Landheim Law Enforcement K-9 Training Center in Indiana.

“When you have a dog at home, you develop a special bond with your own dog just during night and in the morning,” Fisher said. “But this bond was 10-fold greater because they saw each other at work and spent so much more time together.”

Fisher said the whole department had developed a bond with Aron because he

was less temperamental than the average K-9 dog, greeting and playing with anyone in the department.

“Aron became as much our dog as he was [Wagner’s],” Fisher said.

Flags at the police department, 14300 Coil Plus Drive, Plainfield, were lowered to half-staff Monday. Memorial bunting was placed over the front door and Wagner’s squad car was put on display in front of the building.

The committee room in the building was decorated with items on display from Aron’s career, a large photograph with a description of Aron and a memorial book for anybody who visits.

A memorial service is tentatively planned for 10 a.m.

Thursday at the Plainfield Fire Protection District headquarters, 23748 W. 135th St. in Plainfield.

Do not fear; there’s plenty in Will, Grundy counties to do until Halloween

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com Today may be the first day of fall, but outdoor activity has hardly fallen off with the passing of summer.

From pig racing and zombie shooting to garlic festivals and Civil War battles, autumn in Will and Grundy counties offers dozens of family-friendly activities.

Pumpkinfest at Siegel’s Cottonwood Farm in Crest Hill kicked off its month-and-a-half run Saturday, with rides, farm animals and, of course, plenty of pumpkins.

One of the venue’s big draws is the Zombie Farm Paint Ball Ride, now in its second year.

The ride features a deuceand-a-half U.S. Army truck fitted with 21 paintball guns.

Participants can shoot at targets and live “zombies” as the truck rolls down a half-mile track, owner Sue Siegel said.

“It’s really cool and very popular,” Siegel said.

The venue also includes a large selection of food to buy, including smoked turkey legs, brats, sausage, chicken, chili, walking tacos, kettle corn and funnel cakes.

“When you have so many pumpkin farms in the area, you have to be known for

At Bengston Pumpkin Farm over in Homer Glen, pig races and the Pumpkin Chucker – an air-powered cannon

that hurls pumpkins up to a quarter of a mile – are two of the most popular attractions, owner Dave Bengston said.

“The pig races run 10 times per day, so if you come you’re

going to get to see it,” Bengston said. “And the Pumpkin Chucker runs constantly.”

Bengston said his facility is “stroller-friendly,” with extensive paved areas.

Dollinger Family Farm’s major fall offering is Civil War Days, Oct. 18 to 19. The rural Channahon pumpkin farm will feature battle re-enactments at 2 p.m. each day.

For those not interested in pumpkins or other manner of gourd-related entertainment, there’s always garlic.

The Forest Preserve District of Will County will host the Thorn Creek Garlic Fest on Oct. 4. Fest-goers can taste different garlic – more than 30 organic varieties will be on sale – as well as planting, preparation, cooking and “braiding” demonstrations.

“We try to mix it up and appeal to broad segments of citizens to give everyone something they can do,” Cain said.

“Pelican Paddle, for instance, combines kayaking and bird viewing. It’s booked solid.

Recreation, education and, in some cases, entertainment is a nice mix. There’s something for everyone.”

Rescheduled trial to begin Tuesday

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The alleged instigator of the Hickory Street murders decided Monday to leave his fate in the hands of a judge instead of a jury.

Attorneys for Joshua F. Miner, 26, presented a signed waiver of his right to a jury trial when Judge Gerald Kinney began Joshua F. court proceedMiner ings Monday.

The day was expected to be devoted to selecting a jury for the trial.

Miner is charged with Eric Glover murder and robJr. bery in the Jan. 9, 2013, slayings of Eric Glover Jr. and Terrence Rankins, both 22, at a residence in the Terrence 1100 block of Hickory Street.

Rankins “I’m surprised, but it really doesn’t make any difference,” Rankins’ uncle Darcy Kent said after Kinney rescheduled the trial to begin Tuesday. Kinney expected jury selection would take two full days this week.

Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said prosecutors had prepared to start jury selection Monday. Defense attorney Michael Renzi said Miner had begun leaning toward a bench trial after discussing the case last week, but confirmed his decision Monday morning.

“I think the case will be

Duvall Rankins (center), father of murder victim Terrence Rankins, enters the Will County Courthouse on Monday for what was to be the first day of jury selection in the Joshua Miner murder trial. Instead, Miner asked for a bench trial.

“I think the case will be more streamlined now since the judge is already familiar with the [potential] legal arguments presented by the defense.”

more streamlined now since the judge is already familiar with the [potential] legal arguments presented by the defense,” Renzi said.

Miner’s decision also spares the court from having to find 12 to 16 Will County residents who hadn’t heard about the area’s most shocking crime in recent years, or who have kept an open mind about it.

Miner was hanging out with Adam Landerman, Bethany McKee and Alisa Massaro at Massaro’s house when he proposed having McKee lure Rankins over to rob him, ac-

cording to testimony at McKee’s trial.

Kinney, retiring in November, found McKee guilty of murder during a bench trial last month for participating in the robbery.

“The facts elicited at trial clearly establish that the physical act of strangulation was committed by individuals other than [McKee],” Kinney wrote in his decision.

Massaro pleaded guilty earlier this year to lesser crimes in exchange for testifying against the others. Landerman is awaiting a separate trial.

Man sentenced to nine years in 2012 crash case

By BRIAN STANLEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A man was sentenced Monday to nine years in prison for a 2012 Plainfield crash that killed a Minooka man and injured four people.

Andrew W. Henderson, 26, received the maximum amount of time sought by prosecutors as part of a plea deal. Henderson, of Palos Andrew W. Park, pleaded Henderson guilty in May to two counts of aggravated driving under the influence in exchange for other charges being dropped.

Henderson will not head to prison immediately. He’ll remain at the jail while his lawyer files a motion for Judge Carla Policandriotes to reconsider the sentence, unless a spot opens in a residential substance abuse program.

As part of his sentence, Henderson must complete drug treatment at some point in addition to his time behind bars, Policandriotes ruled. He also will spend three years on probation, and during that time he must perform 480 hours of community service.

“You have changed lives in an indescribable way ... taken the life of an indescribable man. Now [with community service] you’ll have the opportunity to save lives, including your own,” Policandriotes told Henderson.

On July 14, 2012, Henderson’s Dodge Durango slammed into a Nissan Altima occupied by a family of

four at County Line Road and Route 126. The impact pushed the Nissan into the path of an oncoming motorcycle ridden

by Ronald Oswald, 57, who was thrown off the bike.

Henderson was ejected from the Durango as it rolled over. Hospital tests found heroin and Vicodin in his system. Henderson later admitted snorting heroin hours before the crash and driving on roads he’d never been on to reach his mom’s house in Oswego after missing his exit from the interstate.

Oswald was killed. The man driving the Altima, as well as the two children who were passengers, suffered minor injuries. His wife sustained a fractured hip, four broken ribs and scarring on her foot.

During the first part of his sentencing hearing last week, Henderson apologized to the victims, saying he suffers thinking about it, but realized Oswald’s family has suffered worse.

Policandriotes said Monday she considered the effects on Henderson’s family, the fear the family in the car experienced and the pain Oswald’s family feels.

“Ronald Oswald was a great employee, friend, father, grandfather. One of the best,” the judge said. “He respected our laws, our Constitution. ... If he didn’t support an existing law he worked to change it.”

Oswald was an active member of the Will County ABATE, A Brotherhood Aimed Toward Education, which promotes motorcycle safety and legislation to protect riders.

“You have changed lives in an indescribable way ... taken the life of an indescribable man. Now [with community service] you’ll have the opportunity to save lives, including your own.”

Walgreens shows new format at Joliet store

By BILL WIMBISCUS bwimbiscus@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Walgreens unveiled its new “well experience” format Monday, featuring better pharmacist access and a private health room where patients can receive immunizations and consultations.

Company management was at a grand reopening ceremony Monday at the 24-hour store at Larkin and Ingalls avenues to showcase a format that is going into other stores, including the Walgreens on Cass Street.

Darren Benton, regional manager for Walgreens Company, said the company is positioning itself as a “convenience store for health care.”

“We wanted to make it more of a health care environment,” Benton said. “This will be the new standard.”

The change focuses primarily on getting pharmacists out in front of customers, where they can provide more counseling to patients, offer clinical services and answer questions. Walgreens redesigned

its pharmacy area and modified its work flow to accommodate the change.

“Pharmacy is still our core business,” store manager Marty Young said.

The need for access to basic primary care has surged in the wake of the Affordable Care Act, said Jack Beaudoin, Walgreens marketing manager for the southwest Chicago region.

Walgreens fills a niche for patients who don’t have access to health care, offering minor episodic services for cold and flu patients, as well as treatment for chronic problems such as diabetes and hypertension, Beaudoin said.

The drug store’s clinic offers walk-in convenience and charges less than an urgent care center, Beaudoin noted.

Prices are about the same patients would expect to pay at a primary care center. A sports physical, for example, runs $60, and a mumps/measles/ rubella vaccination costs $99.

Most insurance plans are accepted.

“Obviously, it’s a lot more economical to come here than to be seen at an emergency

room for a head cold,” Beaudoin said.

The clinics are staffed by family nurse practitioners.

The company plans to unveil its renovated store on Cass Street on Thursday. Walgreens has 33 stores in the Joliet region, Benton said, and all eventually will be given the pharmacy and exam room upgrades.

Other companies are taking advantage of the increase in business under the Affordable Care Act, as well.

Physicians Immediate Care opened a new 3,500-square-foot urgent care facility at Black Road and Larkin Avenue in July. The center offers X-rays, lab tests, treatment of injuries that aren’t life-threatening and minor surgical procedures.

CVS, Walgreens main competitor, began offering in-store clinics in 2000 on a limited basis. The service proved so popular it was expanded nationally. Walgreens followed in 2006.

The CVS service, MinuteClinic, is offered locally at 3200 Caton Farm Road store, and at 1155 W. Jefferson St. in Shorewood.

LOCKPORT – Lisa Heglund will guide Lockport through a new budget cycle when she becomes the finance director in October.

Heglund, 44, was chosen to fill the position after weeks of interviews after Erik Brown left in late August to work for Downers Lisa Heglund G r o v e P a r k District.

City Administrator Ben Benson said Heglund will have her work cut out for her as Lockport in the coming months will be ending its six-month stub budget cycle and preparing for both the 2015 calendar-based budget and tax levy.

Heglund will begin as Lockport’s new finance director Oct. 6, Benson said.

“It’s a real vital, important position and it was important to us getting someone who has experience as a finance director in another community,” he said.

That community was Braidwood, where Heglund served as the finance director for four years. Since 2010, she has been supervising Joliet city’s customer services department. When she comes to Lockport, Heglund plans to support city leaders with whatever pol-

Age: 44 Current position: Joliet city customer services supervisor Next position: Lockport City finance director Past work: Braidwood finance director (2006-2010), Catholic Charities accounting supervisor (1995-2004) icy and procedures they want to pursue, she said.

“There will be a lot on my plate there right off the bat,” she said.

Heglund is looking forward to working for Lockport and noted the city’s focus on attracting more business.

Brown, the previous finance director, left in August to become financial services assistant director. After he left, the city formed an internal committee consisting of city staff and Mayor Steven Streit to select the new candidate.

Benson said Streit and the City Council select the city attorney and city administrator, but all other hires are decided by the city administration.

Heglund’s past experience includes serving Joliet-based Catholic Charities as an accounting supervisor. She also is a certified public accountant who has done audits for government nonprofits, she said.

palities have been discussing interchange plans since September 2011.

Funding also is not yet set for the project.

“When are we going to quit talking about it?” Trustee Jim Racich said. “Nothing is ever done.”

Dwiggins agreed that there was still a lot of work left to do

on the project. It will probably take more than 10 years before the project is completed.

Demolition ordinance The village board was more optimistic on hearing about a proposed ordinance that would reduce the demolition ordinance from 12 to three pages.

The streamlining of the

policy also adds language to encourage owners of property that aren’t designated historical areas but who want to demolish buildings that may have historical significance to find other ways the property may be used.

Police: Fire at Joliet bar Lighten Lauri’s Load!

Sunday set intentionally William Alexander Wine Studio JOLIET – Investigators have determined a fire at a bar early Sunday was set intentionally.

Deputy Fire Chief Ray Randich said Monday that the blaze, which damaged El Rodeo, 816 E. Jackson St., was “incendiary.” The investigation has been turned over to the police department.

No one was injured in the

fire, which was spotted at 2:23 a.m. by the crew of Engine Four while they were returning from a medical call, Randich said. The apartments above the bar were occupied.

“It’s just fortunate the engine crew was coming back at that exact time or it could’ve been a real catastrophe,” Randich said.

Damage was restricted to the doorway area and is estimated at $3,000.

PLAINFIELD – More than 30 residents of the Lake Mary subdivision, village trustees and other nearby residents Monday objected to updated plans for an interchange at the intersections of Interstate 55, Route 126 and Essington Road.

Residents and trustees cited increased truck traffic on 135th Street and Essington Road as a dangerous effect of several interchange plans that could attach a ramp to I-55 at Lake Mary.

A representative from engineering firm Upchurch Group Inc., Mark Dwiggins, said plans for the interchange were limited because the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service objected to any interchange cutting through Lily Cache Creek.

The resulting plans alter the Essington Road connection to Route 126 at 135th Street, and connect I-55 to the three

roads from both directions.

“While I certainly understand the federal government’s need to protect wildlife, I’m more concerned about protecting our residents,” Trustee Dan Rippy said.

The plans are part of a larger interchange project that also focuses on the interchange at Weber Road. Plainfield is joining Bolingbrook and Romeoville on the project.

Dwiggins, speaking on behalf of engineers that worked on the project, said while destruction of wildlife conservation was seen as fatal flaws for the plans, the impact on residential developments wasn’t.

That’s because the developments weren’t in place when talks of a two-way interchange at the site was originally proposed.

The time it has taken to bring concrete plans to light also was a topic of frustration for the board. Talks began years ago. And the consortium of organizations and munici-

By Diane Krieger Spivak Summer’s not over yet, but it’s not too early to start planting your spring-blooming bulbs.

Temperatures have already begun dropping in the evening - a signal that your bulb planting should begin.

The rule of thumb is to plant bulbs before the first frost, but at the very least before the ground freezes so that they can form roots to sustain them through the winter. Here in the Chicagoland area, that means September or October. It’s that two-to-three-month period of freezing weather followed by the spring warm-up that triggers bulbs’ urge to bloom.

Different types of bulbs require different planting techniques. Some need to be planted deeper in the ground, while others flower best when planted closer to the surface.

You have to check which planting your individual bulbs prefer.

Once you know, it’s basically a cinch to dig the hole and drop in the bulb, then covering it

over with soil.

And speaking of soil, bulbs need phosphorous for proper root development, so mix some bonemeal into the soil before planting.

Most bulbs do, however, have a few basic requirements to assure beautiful blooms in the spring. They like welldrained soil in a sunny spot.

Most won’t bloom in the shade.

They also won’t bloom if you plant them too deep. Remember to plant bulbs between two and three times their height.

And don’t forget to plop them in the ground when the outside evening temperatures are between 40 and 50 degrees.

From crocuses -, those early bird bulbs that bloom right through the snow - to daffodils and tulips.

If your soil is mostly clay, add compost, peat moss or other organic material, working it into the top 12 to 18 inches.

Always water after planting to encourage root growth before winter sets in.

JOLIET – University of St. Francis will receive more than $300,000 in grant dollars to improve mental health services for youths in the Joliet area.

The university received $326,541 in grant money from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which will go toward a new psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner program.

The funding will help students prepare to become psychiatric nurse practitioners through stipends and other education costs, said Carol Wilson, dean of the university’s college of nursing.

“I think there is a need out there to prepare these types of health care providers,” she said.

The grant was part of the $99 million in grants announced Monday by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which were awarded to agencies and schools nationwide.

The grants are meant to

help train new mental health providers. They also are used to help teachers and others recognize mental health issues in youths and help them find services.

County’s election season ramps up Candidates circulate nominating petitions for municipal races

By LAUREN LEONE–CROSS lleonecross@shawmedia.com Those interested in seeking nominations for office in the April 7 election can start circulating petitions Tuesday.

The local election follows the Nov. 4 races for governor, state Legislature, Congress and county offices.

In April, voters will pick candidates for city council, school boards and other local offices. Those interested in running can begin picking up petitions and collecting signatures to get on the ballot.

This is the first year the County Clerk’s office is administering school board petitions, rather than individual school districts, Grundy County Clerk and Recorder Lana Phillips said, a notable change for those used to going through their schools for petitions.

All registered voters within the school district who meet county residency requirements are eligible to run for school board, she said.

The new procedure will make things easier for both the local district and candidates because the filing period

Those interested in running in the April 2015 elections can now get petitions. had conflicted with school districts’ December break, Will County Clerk Nancy Schultz Voots said Monday.

Scheduling conflicts made things difficult in regards to staffing and making sure those buildings were open during the holiday break, she said.

“I think last time the filing deadline fell right around the Christmas holiday,” Schultz Voots said. “I think [the new law] is a good thing. It’s a good

law. I don’t mind taking on this responsibility. We’re open around that time anyway.”

For the county’s 30 school districts, nominating petitions for members of the board of education and school directors can be picked up at the Will County Clerk’s Office at 302 N. Chicago St., Joliet.

Petitions for the Will County Regional Board of School Trustees also will be available at that location. Filing will run

from Dec. 15 to 22.

For the Will County Regional Board of School Trustees, two full, six-year term trustee positions, one un-expired fouryear term trustee position, and one un-expired two-year trustee position are available, according to a news release from the Will County Clerk’s Office.

Deadlines are the same for other local bodies with positions up for election April 7, including park districts, library districts, community college districts, fire protection districts, municipals, and townships. Those entities handle their own petition filing, said Becky Gilliam, election analyst for the county clerk’s office.

In regards to deadlines, the exceptions are in Naperville and Homer Glen, which have different dates because of the possibility for a primary election in February, Gilliam said.

A sample petition will be provided and staff can answer questions upon pick up, Schultz Voots said.

High-profile Israeli spy Mike Harari dead at 87 The ASSOCIATED PRESS JERUSALEM – Israeli secret service agent Mike Harari, who played a major role in planning Mossad’s revenge attacks against Palestinian militants implicated in the 1972 Munich massacre of the country’s Olympics team, has died. He was 87.

Harari also was involved in planning Israel’s dramatic rescue of hostages held by militants in Entebbe, Uganda in 1976.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu issued a statement Monday, calling Harari “one of the great warriors for Israel’s security.”

Harari, who died Sunday, was best known for his part in planning Mossad’s missions in the aftermath of the Munich attack. The militants first killed two Israeli athletes at the Olympic village in the

German city, then took others hostage in an attempt to flee unharmed.

Nine of the hostages were subsequently killed in a gunbattle between German police and the militants.

The Munich revenge attacks were collectively known as “Operation Wrath of God.” For nearly a year, Mossad agents targeted Palestinian militants throughout Europe, frequently shooting their victims from close range.

One was a Moroccan waiter gunned down in the Norwegian town of Lillehammer in a case of mistaken identity.

Norwegian prosecutors indicted Harari for that killing in 1998.

He was depicted by Israeli actor Moshe Ivgy in Steven Spielberg’s 2005 film “Munich,” a controversial account of the Operation Wrath of God affair.

Eric Lynch, Howard Stern’s diminutive foil, dies at age 39

By JOHN ROGERS The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – Eric “The Actor” Lynch, whose fear of werewolves, love of professional wrestling and angry, often foul-mouthed rants endeared him to fans of Howard Stern’s radio show for more than a decade, has died at age 39.

Lynch died Friday at the University of California, Davis, Medical Center in Sacramento, his longtime friend and agent, Johnny Fratto, told The Associated Press on Monday.

Lynch, who stood just 3 feet tall and used a wheelchair to get around, had suffered for years from numerous height-related health problems.

He said doctors had told his parents he likely wouldn’t live past the age of 14.

“I loved Eric. I truly loved him,” Stern said Monday on

his radio show. “What I loved about him was here was this guy afflicted with every ... thing on the planet, you couldn’t have gotten worse luck dealt to you, and Eric didn’t view it that way.”

Lynch, a huge “American Idol” fan, first called Stern 12 years ago to complain angrily that the shock jock had ridiculed contestant Kelly Clarkson’s appearance.

As the calls persisted, many of them foul-mouthed, insulting rants directed at Stern himself, an unlikely friendship blossomed between the two.

Stern, meanwhile, gave as good as he got, attempting to persuade Lynch to be attached to balloons so he would hover over his recording studio. Another time, he took part in a prank to convince Lynch that werewolves really did exist in New Mexico, where Stern was sending him for a small part in a TV show.

Quinn, Rauner differ over ‘common sense’ on guns

CHICAGO – Illinois Gov. Pat Quinn and challenger Bruce Rauner both endorse what they call “common sense” in gun laws, but disagree over what that means.

Quinn has repeatedly called for a ban on assault weapons in Illinois and tried unsuccessfully to impose more safeguards in the state’s law allowing concealed carry of firearms.

Rauner applauded Illinois becoming the last state in the nation to approve concealed carry, and warns that too many regulations on assault weapons and other firearms can run afoul of constitutional rights.

The two candidates sketched out those opposing views in an Associated Press campaign questionnaire. And Rauner reinforced his message Monday after being asked about assault weapons at an appearance on Chicago’s West Side, where residents see guns contributing to a stubborn violence problem.

Medical marijuana applications due Monday

CHICAGO – Dozens of people who want to break into the medical marijuana business in Illinois lined up Monday to file their applications ahead of a 3 p.m. deadline.

Applicants were waiting in line with boxes of documents before the state agencies opened Monday morning, said Melaney Arnold, a spokeswoman for the state’s medical cannabis program.

“A lot of applicants waited until today to file,” Arnold said Monday. “The applications are voluminous with boxes of documents and even more information on flash drives.”

Governor Pat Quinn listens to Union Pacific project manager Jay Farrar describe how the track renewal train works during a visit Monday to a Union Pacific Railroad work site in Granite City. Quinn and other officials watched the track renewal train as it concludes major track and tie replacement work that began four years ago.

The Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the Department of Agriculture took applications for dispensaries and cultivation centers. The agencies aren’t expected to announce how many applications they received until later this week.

For cultivation centers, there is a non-refundable application fee of $25,000 and a first-year registration fee of $200,000.

Indiana Toll Road operator files for bankruptcy

INDIANAPOLIS – A judge and creditors will have to decide who runs the Indiana Toll Road after the highway’s private operator filed for bankruptcy protection, formally acknowledging it couldn’t afford the debt from the multibillion deal to take over the highway.

Chicago-based ITR Concession Co. submitted its federal bankruptcy court filing late Sunday.

In it, the company said it failed to make a $102 million interest payment due in June.

ITR’s debt stems from the 2006 deal pushed by then-Gov. Mitch Daniels under which its parent company, the Spanish-Australian consortium Cintra-Macquarie, paid the state $3.8 billion upfront for a 75-year lease of the 157-mile tollway crossing northern Indiana from Chicago to the Indiana-Ohio state line.

The filing seeking Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection includes the plan ITR announced last week to sell the toll road lease rights to help pay off debts, company ITR spokeswoman Amber Kettring said Monday.

Cook County authorities probe animal hospital

DOLTON – A suburban Chicago animal hospital is under investigation after a police officer found four dead dogs at the facility,

Cook County authorities said.

A Dolton officer discovered the dogs when he brought a stray to the Dolton Animal Hospital on Sunday, Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Michael Anton said. The officer also found nine dogs and one cat in “various stages of emaciation,” Anton said. Cages lacked food and water and were covered in waste, he said.

The county animal control removed deceased and living animals from the privately-run facility Sunday. At least two of the animals had owners.

An employee who arrived at the scene was taken into custody for questioning.

Four men held without bond in Chicago boy’s death

CHICAGO – Four men charged last week in the death of a 9-year-old boy who was gunned down in a backyard after running from his Chicago home

have been ordered held without bond.

Charged with first-degree murder in the death of Antonio Smith are Derrick Allmon, 19, Jabari Williams, 22, Michael D. Baker, 19, and Paris Denard, 19, whose name had not been released when the charges were first announced Friday. The men were denied bond Saturday.

All four have given statements to the police admitting their involvement in the Aug. 20 killing, prosecutors said. Allmon told the other men that he shot and killed a child after Antonio was shot six times, prosecutors said.

The four men were allegedly targeting rival gang members when they came across the child, police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said Friday.

Allmon suspected Antonio was warning the targeted men what was about to happen and fired several shots at the boy, he said.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS Prosecutor: 800 rounds found in intruder case WASHINGTON – Investigators found more than 800 rounds of ammunition, a machete and two hatchets in the car of the former soldier accused of scaling the White House fence and sprinting inside while carrying a knife, a federal prosecutor said Monday.

President Barack Obama was “obviously concerned” about the weekend incident, a spokesman said.

The Secret Service increased security, some guards openly holding weapons, others escorting dogs. There was talk of expanding the security zone beyond the current area as a major investigation began into the question of how the man managed to get to the building without being stopped.

Forty-two-year-old Omar J. Gonzalez of Copperas Cove, Texas, faces charges of entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon. He had been arrested earlier in the summer in Virginia with a carful of weapons, authorities said, and a federal prosecutor said Monday in court that Gonzalez had had a map in that incident with the White House circled.

Businesses and investors pressing for green policy NEW YORK – Hundreds of corporations, insurance companies and pension funds are calling on world leaders gathering for a U.N. summit on climate change this week to attack the problem

by making it more costly for businesses and ordinary people to pollute.

The idea is that the world can’t hope to slow the heating of the planet until its cost is incorporated into the everyday activities that contribute to it, such as using gasor coal-generated electricity, driving a car, shipping a package or flying around the globe. Business leaders say they worry that global warming threatens the long-term value of their investments, and they want world leaders to adopt policies that would provide a financial incentive to people to clean up their act.

Changing health law numbers pose challenge WASHINGTON – Call it health care law numerology.

The Obama administration has had to revise and refine some initial enrollment numbers for health insurance sign-ups after they turned out to be too optimistic. At other times, metrics less favorable to the president’s overhaul leaked out after officials claimed not to have such data.

Parsing the numbers is a new pursuit for administration officials from President Barack Obama on down, to lawmakers of both parties and a gaggle of outside analysts.

The latest data tweak – an administration announcement that 7.3 million paying customers signed up for subsidized private insurance as of mid-August – set off more speculation.

Pentagon: U.S., partners begin airstrikes in Syria

By LOLITA C. BALDOR The Associated Press WASHINGTON – The U.S. and partner nations began launching airstrikes against Islamic State group targets in Syria for the first time Monday night, expanding a military campaign against the militants with a mix of fighter jets, bombers and Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from ships in the region.

The strikes were part of the expanded military campaign that President Barack Obama’s authorized nearly two weeks ago in order to disrupt and destroy the Islamic State militants, who have slaughtered thousands of people, beheaded Westerners, including two American journalists, and captured a large swath of territory stretching from within Syria to land across northern and western Iraq.

Because the military operation was ongoing, no details could be provided yet, said Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Pentagon’s press secretary.

He said the decision to strike was made earlier Monday by the military. He did not name the partner nations participating in the operation; however, U.S. officials have said the U.S. would not launch this mission alone and some Arab nations had been expected to participate.

Some of the airstrikes of airstrikes were against Islamic State group targets in Raqqa. Military officials have said the U.S. would target militants’ command and control centers, re-supply facilities, training camps and other key logistical sites.

“We will be prepared to strike ISIL targets in Syria that degrade ISIL’s capabilities,” Army Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told senators last week, using one of the acronyms for the Islamic State

2 during a briefing at the Pentagon. The Pentagon on Monday night said the U.S. and partner nations have begun airstrikes in Syria against Islamic State militants. group. “This won’t look like a shock-and-awe campaign, because that’s simply not how ISIL is organized, but it will be a persistent and sustainable campaign.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel said that the plan “includes targeted actions against ISIL safe havens in Syria, including its command and control logistics capabilities and infrastructure.”

He said he and Dempsey approved the plan.

The U.S. also has been increasing its surveillance flights over Syria, getting better intelligent on potential targets and militant movements.

Military leaders have said about two-thirds of the estimated 31,000 Islamic State militants were in Syria.

In a speech Sept. 10, Obama vowed to go after the Islamic State militants wherever they may be. And his military and defense leaders told Congress last week that airstrikes within Syria are meant to disrupt the group’s momentum and provide time for the U.S. and allies to train and equip moderate Syrian rebels.

The U.S. military has been launching targeted airstrikes

in Iraq since August, focusing specifically on attacks to protect U.S. interests and personnel, assist Iraqi refugees and secure critical infrastructure.

Last week, as part of the newly expanded campaign, the U.S. began going after militant targets across Iraq, including enemy fighters, outposts, equipment and weapons.

To date U.S. fighter aircraft, bombers and drones have launched about 190 airstrikes within Iraq.

Urged on by the White House and U.S. defense and military officials, Congress passed legislation late last week authorizing the military to arm and train moderate Syrian rebels. Obama signed the bill into law Friday, providing $500 million for the U.S. to train about 5,000 rebels over the next year.

U.S. leaders have also been crisscrossing the globe trying to build a broad international coalition of nations, including Arab countries, to go after the Islamic State group and help train and equip the Iraqi security forces and the Syrian rebels.

The militant group, meanwhile, has threatened retribution.

By CLARENCE ROY-MACAULAY and JONATHAN PAYE-LAYLEH The Associated Press FREETOWN, Sierra Leone – Two of the West African nations hardest hit by Ebola were bracing for new caseloads Monday after trying to outflank the outbreak with a nationwide checkup and a large new clinic.

Sierra Leone was expected Tuesday to announce a sharp increase in Ebola patients following a nationwide effort to identify new cases, while Li-

beria opened its largest treatment center yet.

Both countries have poor health systems, weakened by the loss to Ebola of many of doctors and nurses. The World Health Organization estimated last week they have only about 20 percent of the beds they need to treat Ebola patients.

Still, identifying the sick is fundamental to containing the disease, and Sierra Leone went to an extreme unseen since the plague ravaged Europe during the Middle Ages – ordering

an entire nation’s people to remain at home while teams went door to door handing out soap and information.

More than 1 million households were checked for Ebola and told how to prevent its spread, authorities said.

Officials previously predicted they would find hundreds of new cases during the three-day shutdown. And government spokesman Abdulai Bayraytay said Sierra Leone was preparing tents for use as temporary treatment centers before announcing its find-

ings Tuesday.

In Liberia, meanwhile, ambulances rushed to fill the nation’s largest new treatment center, a 150-bed hospital on the outskirts of Monrovia that opened Sunday, run by the Health Ministry, WHO and a team of Ugandan doctors.

By Monday, the new clinic had admitted 112 people, although only 46 of those have tested positive for Ebola, said Assistant Health Minister Tolbert Nyenswah. The rest were being held for observation and treated for other diseases,

Riot police use water cannons Monday to disperse Kurdish demonstrators clashing with Turkish security forces, as thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing the Islamic militants continued to arrive at the border in Suruc, Turkey.

Militants’ offensive a problem for Turkey

By DESMOND BUTLER The Associated Press SURUC, Turkey – Fierce fighting Monday between the Islamic State militant group and Kurdish forces just over the border in Syria brought the battle closer to Turkey, triggering a surge of tens of thousands of refugees and raising pressure for the government to step up efforts to take on the Sunni extremists.

Turkey is resisting because it fears arming Kurdish men to fight the group could complicate peace talks with Turkish insurgents within its own borders.

The Islamic State group’s offensive against the Syrian city of Kobani, a few miles from the border, has sent 130,000 refugees to seek safe-

ty in Turkey in the last few days. The conflict in Syria already had led to more than 1 million people flooding over the border in the past 3½ years.

But in addition to the refugee crisis, hundreds of Kurds in and around this city near the frontier have clashed with Turkish police, who fired tear gas and water cannons. The Kurds said Turkey is hampering their efforts to let them cross into Syria and help their brethren.

An 18-year-old Turkish citizen in Suruc said he wanted to join the Kurdish fighters in Syria. “The Islamic State is on the other side of the border and moving freely, slaughtering people, but they are just sitting and watching,” he said of the Turkish authorities.

The Associated Press BAGHDAD – Islamic State militants disguised in Iraqi army uniforms and driving stolen Humvees killed at least 40 Iraqi soldiers and captured 68 others in western Anbar province, breaking through a deteriorating Iraqi military offensive in an area where the United States recently broadened its airstrike campaign.

The wave of suicide bombings dealt a heavy blow to government efforts to rein in the militants, whose rampage has seized much of the country’s north and west – even as the U.S. and its allies began training Iraq’s Kurdish peshmerga fighters to bolster their ability to battle the Sunni extremists.

Sunday’s attacks targeted troops stationed at Camp Saqlawiyah near the town of Sijir, 45 miles west of Baghdad. There has been no contact with the 68 captured Iraqi soldiers, who were believed to have been taken to the nearby city of Fallujah, an Islamic State stronghold, said Gen. Rasheed Fleih.

After the attacks, the Iraqi military withdrew 700 more troops stationed in the area, he said.

Following battlefield successes in both Iraq and neighboring Syria, Islamic State fighters, among them many Iraqi nationals, have re-entered Iraq through Anbar province, engaging in fierce battles with the Iraqi military. In this Sunni-majority territory, the group quickly has capitalized on long-standing grievances against the Shiite-led government in Baghdad, earning support from local populations.

Iraq’s new prime minister, Haider al-Abadi, said Monday his government is committed to reinforcing military and police forces in Anbar and will increase airstrikes to target the pockets of militant fighters across the province.

Also, the U.S. military said Monday airstrikes on Islamic State targets southwest of the oil-rich city of Kirkuk destroyed two military vehicles and a tank and damaged a Humvee, bringing the total U.S. strikes on the militants to 190 since the aerial campaign began Aug. 8.

Islamic State militants kill 40 Iraqi troops

Three missing Afghan army officers found at U.S. border BOSTON – Three Afghanistan National Army officers who went missing during a training exercise at a Cape Cod military base were detained Monday at the U.S.-Canadian border, Massachusetts law enforcement officials said.

Massachusetts State Police were notified the three were being questioned by federal authorities at Rainbow Bridge, which connects Niagara Falls, New York, and Niagara Falls, Ontario, said spokesman David Procopio, who did not have further details.

Military officials said the Afghan soldiers had been participating in a U.S. Central Command Regional Cooperation training exercise at Joint Base Cape Cod. They arrived at Camp Edwards on Sept. 11 and last were seen Saturday at the Cape Cod Mall in Hyannis during an off day.

The soldiers were reported missing by base security personnel Saturday night. They were identified as Maj. Jan Mohammad Arash, Capt. Mohammad Nasir Askarzada and Capt. Noorullah Aminyar.

Gov. Deval Patrick said earlier Monday that the military did not believe the three soldiers posed a danger to the public.

such as malaria.

Ebola, transmitted through bodily fluids, is now blamed for the deaths of more than 2,800 people in West Africa, according to new figures released Monday by the WHO. More than 5,800 are believed to have been sickened. Most of the infections have been in Liberia; but the disease, which first was identified in Guinea, also has spread to Nigeria and Senegal.

At least 77 bodies were buried during Sierra Leone’s shutdown, and half tested positive for Ebola, Bayraytay said.

We just need to keep playing better with the ball and relying more on our defense.

Despite falling into an early hole, JCA (4-9-1) continued to battle. Jared Olson had a series of shots that were halted

by Frangella, who also thwarted attempts by Ryan Lees and Jared Hippman.

Both sides had good chances after the break, with Sullivan having a try deflected and Alberico bouncing one off the crossbar. Meanwhile, Olson and Matt Jorgensen were turned away on the other side of the field.

• Tuesday, September 23, 2014

NEW LENOX – After his squad dropped a match to Marmion Academy last week, Providence Catholic soccer coach Dan Potempa hoped the team would pick up its play heading into a rough stretch of four matches in four days.

Three-quarters through that run, the Celtics have been able to do what their coach was looking for, going 2-0-1 and posting a pair of shutouts.

Providence followed up on a scoreless draw Saturday against Lincoln-Way North and a 3-2 victory over St. Rita at Toyota Park the following day with a 7-0 nonconference home win Monday over Joliet Catholic Academy.

Luke Picard scored two goals and added an assist, Kevin Sullivan added a goal and an assist, and Jack Richardson assisted on two scores for the Celtics (5-6-2), who jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the opening 20 minutes against the Hilltoppers.

Justin Alberico, PJ Kowalkowski, Bernie O’Donnell and John Barrett also scored goals, while Teddy Azar and Christian Cozzo added assists for Providence, which received a shutout from keeper Matteo Frangella, his second of the year.

“Last Tuesday, we lost to Marmion, and we pointed out some things that they did that we need to work on, and the boys took it to heart,” said Potempa, whose team plays Brother Rice today. “We knew that we had four in a row, so we had two good days of practice. The first three games have been good, and in every game we’ve gotten better.

“We’d been giving up a lot of goals, so I was happy to get a shutout to start this stretch.

Yesterday was a good experience, and I’m happy that the boys played well, too. They moved the ball on the big field and switched the ball and utilized space. This past week, the guys have shown that they’ll work hard and if they do that, good things will happen.”

The Celtics got things started in the 11th minute when

Bears capitalize on Jets’ errors THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Jay Cutler threw two touchdown passes to Martellus Bennett, and the Bears took advantage of some early mistakes by the New York Jets before holding on for a 27-19 victory Monday night.

Ryan Mundy returned an interception 45 yards for a touchdown on the Jets’ second play from scrimmage.

After the Bears (2-1) recovered a fumbled punt a few minutes later, Bennett scored from 7 yards to take a 14-0 lead 5:06 into the game.

Cutler finished 23 of 38 for 225 yards and Alshon Jeffery caught eight passes for 105 yards for the Bears, who got a 45-yard field goal from Robbie Gould to make it an eight-point game with 3:10 remaining.

The Jets (1-2) had one last opportunity to tie, getting into Bears territory on Geno Smith’s 51-yard pass to Greg Salas.

But Jeremy Kerley was out of bounds when he caught Smith’s desperation fourth-down heave.

Enjoying his return to the Meadowlands, Bennett caught two touchdown passes in helping the Bears to a 24-16 lead over the New York Jets through three quarters Monday night.

Bennett, who spent the 2012 season with the other MetLife Stadium tenant, the Giants, had scoring receptions of 7 and 13 yards. He had four catches for 45 yards through three periods.

Two early turnovers staked the Bears to 14 points.

Things began miserably for the Jets when Geno Smith didn’t see Ryan Mundy lurking in the flat on a screen pass to Chris Johnson. Mundy had nothing but clear field ahead of him to make it 7-0 only 32 seconds in. It was the sixth-year veteran’s third career interception, who hurt his left arm and shoulder early in the third quarter.

New York remained charitable as rookie Jalen Saunders dropped a punt at his 40 and it was recovered by Ahmad Dixon. One play later, Cutler threw deep down the right sideline to Jeffery and cornerback Darrin

Walls was flagged for interference.

From the 7, Cutler, given plenty of time, found Bennett in the back of the end zone to make it 14-0.

Mundy and Bennett had spent a portion of their careers playing for the Giants.

Chicago also lost star receiver Brandon Marshall (right ankle) and fullback Tony Fiammetta (hamstring) in the second quarter. Marshall returned, Fiammetta was done for the night, and the Bears also saw safety Chris Conte (left shoulder) depart in the third period.

Nick Folk’s 43-yard field goal brought the Jets within 11 points and capped a 55-yard drive during which Chris Ivory had a 23-yard reception and Eric Decker a 19-yarder.

But Chicago answered with a 15-play, 79-yard drive helped by cornerback Antonio Allen’s holding penalty on a third-down incompletion. Gould made a 24-yard field goal for a 17-3 lead just 66 seconds into the second quarter.

zone again on their next series after a 43-yard completion to rookie tight end Jace Amaro got them going. Folk was perfect from 28 yards.

New York got closer with a 77-yard drive on which Jeremy Kerley accounted for 51. He caught two passes for 16 yards, one on third down, and got free over the middle on a 19-yard throw from Smith to make it 1713.

A video review reversed a call late in the half on which the Jets might have taken the lead. Cutler was sacked by David Harris and lost the ball, but was declared down by contact.

A review showed Cutler had fumbled, but Demario Davis’ return to the end zone was negated because the whistle had blown.

The Jets then went threeand-out.

They also lost Decker in the third quarter with a hamstring problem. But they hung in thanks to Folk’s 22-yard field goal with 27 seconds remaining in the third period, although Smith was intercepted in the end zone earlier in the quarter.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. – Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall returned to the game after injuring his right ankle in the second quarter against the New York Jets.

Jets wide receiver Eric Decker left the game in the first half Monday night with a hamstring injury, and was ruled out in the fourth quarter. Decker had been uncertain to play with his balky right hamstring.

The Bears initially said Marshall, who was questionable for the game with the ankle ailing, was probable to return but then downgraded him to questionable. The star receiver headed to the locker room midway through the quarter, but was back at the start of the second half. He caught a 12-yard touchdown pass on the Bears’ opening possession, but the play was negated by a penalty.

Marshall was injured during a 6-yard end-around run by wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. Marshall had yet to make a reception in the game.

Bears fullback Tony Fiammetta injured a hamstring and safety Chris Conte hurt his left shoulder — and both were ruled out for the rest of the game. Safety Ryan Mundy was questionable to return with a shoulder injury.

Wallace, JT capture Minooka Invitational

The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com • Tuesday, September 23, 2014

By DICK GOSS

“Everyone talks about getting ready for conference next week, but what we are really trying to do is make sure our game is set and tidy for the regional and sectional.”

dgoss@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Joliet Township senior Trent Wallace is accustomed to receiving individual accolades for his magic on the golf course, so that part was nothing new.

However, with teammates Mark Boykin and Kyler O’Connell stepping up big time, Wallace was especially pleased with another element of Monday’s Minooka Invitational at Heritage Bluffs.

“We’re trying to get out of the regional as a team, and winning this definitely is a confidence builder for the team and for me,” Wallace said after claiming medalist honors with a 1-over-par 73 and leading the Steelmen to the team title with a 324 total.

“I knew we were the second-best team coming in here, behind Minooka,” Wallace said. “I told Mark [Boykin] that if he kept it in the 70s, we’d pull it out. He did that. His 77 was his best round of the year; and Kyler [O’Connell] came through, too, with his 84.”

Boykin, in fact, finished third individually. Plainfield South senior Isaiah Pina was second with 74. Boykin and O’Connell are juniors.

“This is the first invitational our team has won this year,” Joliet coach Ed Larson said. “Trent has won them. He shot 67 to win at Prestwick and 69 to win at The Sanctuary.

“What Mark Boykin did really helped us. He went to the U of I golf camp over the summer and came back with a whole new focus. I’m looking forward to the rest of this year and all of next year with him.”

Wallace was not thrilled with his score. Considering the ideal weather, “I was expecting something in the 60s,” he said. “But I didn’t play well.

My putting failed. I’m not too happy, but I can’t be too mad, either.”

Matt Kinsella’s 90 was the fourth counting score for Joliet.

Batavia finished second with a 332 total. Minooka Black shot 333 and Minooka Orange 336, as Indians coach Brian Petrovic filled two teams with his deep roster.

He was out here sick. I understand he had a 103 temperature. But that’s not an excuse; he was struggling along with

the rest of our guys.”

Minooka Black counted Steve Andreano’s 80, Jake Scheidt’s 83, Gavin Pfeiffer’s 84 and Michael Klover’s 86. Minooka Orange’s four counters were Kyle Sheppard 78, Sam Smolkovich and Dan Anfield 85, and Tyler Thompson 88. Sheppard was fourth and Andreano fifth individually.

Plainfield South was fifth at 343, followed by Plainfield Central 351, Ottawa 368, Sandwich 382, Bolingbrook 419 and Bremen 494.

“The big thing for us is we’ve been struggling the last two weeks, and this is our low point,” Petrovic said. “We’ve definitely got to get some things fixed.

“Everyone talks about getting ready for conference next week, but what we are really trying to do is make sure our game is set and tidy for the regional and sectional. We do have a talented group with eight seniors. That’s nice to have. It was just a struggle out there today.”

Plainfield South coach Tim Boe said Pina “played real well. As a team, we did about what we’re capable of. If Isaiah shoots that well, we’ll do a little better. We have confidence out here, and doing what we did will be a confidence booster.”

South’s other scores were Brian Ward 86, Evan Michel 89 and Tony Tutt 94. Plainfield Central’s counters were Matt Hardin 82, Jake Hawkins 85, Stephen Nenoff 90 and Frank Andrew 94, although Bobby Pavlik also shot 94.

MINOOKA – The Minooka and Plainfield Central volleyball teams are hoping to score a lot of points Thursday to benefit Shorewood HUGS as they plan their “Hits for HUGS” fundraiser.

The goal is to raise enough money to grant 10 wishes, including a special wish for a Minooka father who lost his wife to cancer and is struggling with daycare costs for his young son.

Members of the volleyball programs are soliciting donations for every point each varsity team scores during their Southwest Prairie contest Thursday at the Minooka Central Campus. For example, if a team scores a total of 50 points, a donation of 50 cents a point will generate a donation of $25. Also, T-shirts can be bought in advance of the game for $10 by contacting Minooka coach Chris Hoelscher at choelscher@mchs.net.

Shirts also will be sold at the match.

All proceeds will benefit Shorewood HUGS, which supports those in need. In the past year, it has worked closely with the families of Minooka staff members Shawn Capodice, Michael Assaf and Sam Pavelka.

Bassitt, Sox slow down Tigers THE ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT – Chris Bassitt pitched into the eighth inning for his first major league win, and the White Sox slowed Detroit’s chase of the AL Central title with a 2-0 victory over the Tigers on Monday night.

Detroit is one game ahead of the second-place Royals, who beat Cleveland, 2-0, in their regularly scheduled game. Hours earlier, the Indians finished off a victory in a suspended game against Kansas City.

Tyler Flowers hit a tworun homer for the Sox, and the Tigers were unable to take advantage of the Sox’s inexperienced starter.

The loss assured Detroit would start a division series on the road, even if it wins the AL Central.

The game turned into an unexpected pitchers’ duel between Bassitt and fellow rookie Kyle Lobstein. Both were making their fifth career start, but they looked like aces in the middle of a pennant race.

Bassitt (1-1) went 7 2⁄ 3 innings and pitched out of two early jams.

He gave up six hits, walked one batter – the last one he faced – and struck out Alex Avila three times but no one

Lobstein (1-1) was trying for his second victory, but didn’t get any offensive support.

He allowed two runs on five hits and a walk in a career-best seven innings.

The Sox took a 2-0 lead with a two-out rally in the second.

Carlos Sanchez hit a groundrule double to left-center and, on the next pitch, Flowers lined a homer into the Sox bullpen.

Detroit had a pair of early threats, but Ian Kinsler was caught stealing in the first inning – leaving the bases empty for Miguel Cabrera’s 50th double.

Right fielder Avisail Garcia robbed Cabrera of a probable RBI double with a sliding catch in the third.

Cabrera hit another ball hard off Bassitt in the eighth, but his slicing line drive was right at Moises Sierra in left.

Victor Martinez drew a walk, and Petricka came in to strike out J.D. Martinez.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Adam Wainwright joined Clayton Kershaw as the majors’ only 20-game winners, pitching three-hit ball over seven innings, and the St. Louis Cardinals beat the Cubs, 8-0, on Monday night.

Wainwright hit the 20win mark for the second time while matching his career-high for victories, and the Cardinals moved a step closer toward their second straight division title.

They remained 2½ games ahead of Pittsburgh in the NL

Central with five to play with the Pirates beating Atlanta, 1-0. St. Louis clinched its fourth straight playoff appearance on Sunday.

Wainwright (20-9) won his fifth straight start and made it look easy, striking out eight and walking one.

He gave up a double to Anthony Rizzo with two out in the first and did not allow another hit until back-to-back singles by Luis Valbuena and Welington Castillo with two out in the seventh.

The only other time Wainwright won 20 was in 2010, and that year, victory No. 20 also

came at Wrigley Field.

He got plenty of support in this one, with the Cardinals pounding Travis Wood (8-13) for seven runs and eight hits over five innings.

They scored four in the fourth and three in the fifth on the way to their eighth win in 10 games.

Matt Holliday had two hits and scored two runs. He also drove in one.

Matt Adams chipped in with two hits and two RBIs. Jon Jay added two hits and drove in three, capping a fourrun fourth with a two-run single to make it 4-0.

ANOTHER VIEW

More cash than ever is flowing into campaigns The billionaires and millionaires have pulled out their checkbooks. The advertising agencies and polling firms have crafted their products. Television stations and cable operators have booked the time.

Now the ads, positive and negative, have begun to fill the airwaves, selling their product with smears and cheers, and forcing consumers to try to sort out the truth, the best or at least their favorite among the choices.

But the advertising isn’t selling pizza or peanut butter or pop. It’s hawking candidates for all levels of office, but primarily for top positions: governor, U.S. Senate and Congress. And it’s happening across the country.

The use of advertising and public relations techniques to promote politicians is far from new. The late Joe McGinniss detailed how those techniques were used by Roger Ailes, who now runs Fox News, to elect Richard Nixon in 1968 in his classic book “The Selling of the President.”

But more money than ever is pouring into campaigns this year, the result of a pair of Supreme Court decisions – 2010’s Citizens United v. the Federal Election Commission, in which a 5-4 split court allowed corporate spending on elections; and April’s McCutcheon ruling, in which the same conservative/liberal split struck down limits on individual campaign spending.

“If Citizens United opened a door, today’s decision, we fear, will open a floodgate,” Justice Stephen G. Breyer said in his dissent, which he read from the bench five months ago.

Breyer already has been proved prophetic.

According to the Washington Post, 310 donors gave a combined $11.6 million more by this summer than would have been allowed before the ruling.

Not surprisingly, those contributions favored Republican candidates and committees over Democratic ones by 2 to 1.

The cash has continued to flow and is fueling a never-ending onslaught of television commercials that often dirty up the process by attacking candidates with distortions and exaggerations and, at best – when they’re positive – overstate the candidate’s virtues.

That makes an undecided voter’s choice more difficult and drives elections to be ever more partisan and divisive.

The flood of money won’t stop before November – or at all as 2016 presidential campaigns already are gearing up.

The biggest hope is that a direct correlation between spending and votes doesn’t become the electoral norm. If that occurs, the big money really will have purchased the democratic process.

THE FIRST AMENDMENT

Rauner needs a bigger boat Bruce Rauner reportedly had one of those bugs that were going around last week.

I feel his pain. I was sick with one thing or another all week. Luckily, I took a little time off, or I probably would have felt even worse.

Rauner didn’t take any time off, and it showed. For the first time at his news conferences, he read his statements right off the page, painfully stumbling over his words. It wasn’t a pretty sight.

He and his campaign also seemed grumpier last week.

“Pat Quinn is not the folksy, bumbling fool he’d like us to think he is,” Rauner growled on Monday. On Tuesday, Rauner’s campaign barred some college journalism students from his news conference, and Rauner himself

VIEWS Rich Miller refused even to have a word with them afterward. On Wednesday, he turned his head and pointedly ignored a follow-up question from a Chicago TV reporter about the NFL scandals. More on that in a moment.

Maybe the recent Chicago Tribune poll that showed him trailing Gov. Pat Quinn by 11 points somehow added to his physical misery. It was Rauner’s personal decision, after all, to not flood the airwaves with TV ads during the spring and summer when Quinn didn’t have the money to adequately respond. He

plain cheaped out, and now it’s going cost him a lot more money to win this thing, and he has nobody to blame but himself.

Or maybe it was that bottom-feeding Chicago Magazine “profile” published last week.

Six thousand words were spilled on Chicago’s glossy pages to rehash boring stuff we already knew, apparently in order to give the magazine an excuse to slip a couple of needlessly invasive personal items into the middle that told us absolutely nothing about the candidate or what sort of governor he’d be. I’d be pretty upset, too.

But, hey, that’s the game, I suppose. There always will be those who will try to use a

Rauner must get over it • MILLER Continued from page 25 person’s family to somehow disqualify the candidate for public service. It’s a filthy business. And despite the author’s claims to the contrary, let’s just say there’s at least a strong suspicion among the Raunerites that the Quinnsters somehow had a role in getting this information into the public realm. That’d make anybody grumpy.

Whatever’s going on, sickness, a bit of poll-induced regret/fright or protective familial anger, he and his campaign have to get over it.

The Quinn campaign obviously has gotten under their skin.

Quinn looks and sounds like a kind, harmless older man. In reality, he’s a calm yet vicious street fighter who shows no remorse for his adversaries.

He’s at his best during periods of chaos, and this campaign is only going to get more chaotic.

And that brings us back to the NFL scandals. Chicago TV reporter Mary Ann Ahern asked Rauner if he’d had any communication with the Pittsburgh Steelers (of which he’s a minority owner) about the recent NFL physical abuse scandals. Rauner said he hadn’t and explained that he was too occupied with winning an election in order to

turn the state around. When she followed up to ask him to comment on the NFL scandals in general, he turned his head to take another question.

A better candidate would’ve used Ahern’s question to swing for the fences.

It was a prime opportunity to talk about not only the NFL’s problems but also his own commitment to fighting domestic violence and then compare that to the very real cuts Quinn has made to domestic violence shelters over the years.

Ahern denies ever talking to the Quinn campaign about it, and I believe her. Rauner was clearly set up, by himself.

You gotta be ready for everything in this game, and Rauner obviously wasn’t.

Rauner may look upon himself as a cut-throat businessman, but business ain’t got nothing on Illinois politics, baby.

I hope you got some rest and tried to get healthier, dude, because you really need to step it up. We all can smell the blood in the water.

And that’s your blood, Bruce.

Fair warning. The sharks are circling, and plenty more are on the way. If you want to win this thing, you’re gonna need a bigger boat.

New Lenox hospital offers stem cell procedure for osteoarthritis of the knee If you go

By JEANNE MILLSAP Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – To help some of his patients with osteoarthritis of the knee, Dr. Robert Daley, an orthopedic surgeon at Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox, performs a procedure that treats arthritis in the knees with the patient’s own stem cells.

Daley extracts the stem cells from a patient’s bone marrow and injects them into the arthritic knee. Those cells slowly grow into cartilage or cartilage-like cells in the joint. It’s a procedure that has the potential to treat this painful condition without surgery – or, for the time being, at least delay surgery.

It’s an evolving science. Daley said, but the results – pain relief and increase in mobility – encourage him.

“Studies have showed some regenerative abilities for these stem cells,” Daley said. “So far, every patient I’ve done has had some relief.”

Daley, who is with the private practice of Hinsdale Orthopaedics Group in Joliet, began performing stem cell injections six months ago and estimates he’s performed the procedure on 25 patients. The therapy has vast potential, he said, but Daley cautions it’s not a miracle cure at this stage.

“My expectations are that they won’t become magically better,” Daley said, “but the hope is that we can slow down the degenerative process in some patients.”

Stem cells can be thought of as infant cells in our adult bodies, waiting instruction on what to become when they grow up, Daley said. They’re found in many tissues, including bone marrow, muscle, liver, skin and fat – or adipose – tissue, he added.

When a stem cell divides, it can become either another stem cell or a very specialized cell depending on where it is located, Daley said. Receiving chemical signals from surrounding tissue is what directs a stem cell to become one type of cell or another. One possibility of differentiation is cartilage cells, he added.

Daley said he always has been interested in finding biological solutions to patients’ problems. Being able to use a person’s own tissues to treat them also rules out the possibility of rejection, he said.

Stem cell research began in earnest

n WHAT: A lecture: Using Your Own Stem Cells to Treat Osteoarthritis of the Knee n WHEN: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Sept. 30 n WHERE: Silver Cross Hospital Conference Center, Pavilion A, 1890 Silver Cross Blvd., New Lenox n ETC: Silver Cross Hospital, in conjunction with Hinsdale Orthopaedics Group, is offering a free lecture to educate area residents on how they can find relief from knee osteoarthritis with stem cell therapy. Attendees will learn about this unique, nonsurgical procedure, which uses a person’s own stem cells to promote healing. n REGISTER: www.silvercross.org or call 888-660-HEAL (4325)

Dr. Robert Daley, shown here explaining a procedure, uses a person’s own stem cells to treat osteoarthritis in some patients. about 30 years ago, according to the National Institutes of Health at www.ncbi. nlm.nih.gov, when researchers found a way to culture embryonic mouse stem cells in the lab. Seventeen years later, they found a way to isolate and culture human stem cells.

Also, according to the institutes’ website, scientists then discovered that in some adult tissues, stem cells had the ability to generate replacements for cells that were lost through normal wear and tear, injury or disease.

Research scientists are experimenting with many ways to put stem cells to use in treating diabetes, heart disease and brain disorders – but for now, treatment of knee osteoarthritis with stem cells is a real option for patients, Daley said.

Osteoarthritis is a condition in which the cartilage in a joint gradually

wears away. It may be caused by excess stress on the joint, such as by repeated injury or a person being overweight, Daley said.

Symptoms usually develop gradually, according to a news release from Silver Cross Hospital, and include sore joints after inactivity or overuse, stiffness after resting that disappears after movement, and pain that is worse after activity or at the end of the day.

Daley said not every knee osteoarthritis patient is a candidate for the stem cell procedure. It depends on the state of that person’s arthritis and other conditions and wishes. He usually tries other treatments first.

Anti-inflammatories may be one of the first measures Daley recommends.

Other options include weight loss, pain medications, bracing, injections of joint lubricants or steroids, plate-

let-rich plasma therapy, partial-knee replacement and total knee replacement, Daley said.

Daley may recommend stem cell therapy after other nonsurgical treatments have failed.

“It also depends on what their interest is,” Daley said of his patients. “If they have exhausted more traditional non-operative methods, we may try stem cells.”

Daley sees stem cell treatment as one more weapon in his arsenal of help before surgery is needed, but some patients opt for surgery first.

The first step in stem cell therapy is making a tiny incision in the patient’s hip and using a needle to extract about 60 cubic centimeters of bone marrow from the pelvis, where stem cells are abundant. The marrow then is concentrated to around 6 cubic centimeters and then injected into the knee.

“The relief usually starts in one or two months,” Daley said, “and they continue to see significant relief for six months.”

The relief can last for much longer than that period, Daley said, and he monitors his patients after the procedure.

“There are many benefits of stem cell therapy,” Daley said. “Through this new technology, many patients are able to find relief from stiffness and pain caused by osteoarthritis without undergoing surgery or a long recovery.

In addition, they can have reduced knee pain, and their quality of life may be improved.”

SUDOKU

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

The balanced fit or unbalanced fit?

CELEBRITY CIPHER

Fran Lebowitz said, “Food is an important part of a balanced diet.”

This week we are looking at deals in which North and South have to decide which of two suits to choose as trumps.

In general, a balanced fit – one where North and South have the same number of cards in the suit – will be preferable to an unbalanced fit – in which one player has more cards than his partner.

In this deal, if the balanced diamond suit is trumps, declarer can arrange an extra ruffing trick after drawing trumps and discarding the spade eight from the dummy on his fifth club. In seven diamonds, South takes one spade, five diamonds, six clubs and one spade ruff in the North hand.

If the unbalanced suit is trumps, (here the 6-4 club fit), there is an inevitable spade loser. South can win only 12 tricks, not 13.

The auction itself was exciting. South opened one club, planning to bid diamonds twice to describe his distribution and strength. If West had immediately overcalled four hearts, it would have made life very tough for North-South.

North could have bid five diamonds, but East would have increased the inconvenience by raising to five hearts.

In the actual sequence, once South knew about the double fit, he control-bid (cue-bid) five hearts to suggest a grand slam.

And when North was happy to control-bid five spades, South jumped to seven diamonds.

ADVICE Mother battles fears while raising happy daughter Marriage wouldn’t be wise Dear Abby: I had an awful childhood. After I was finally taken into state custody, I cycled through six different foster homes. Because of it, I have struggled with mental health issues for as long as I can remember.

I’m 28 now and have a 4-yearold daughter who is everything to me. The problem is, I’m terrified of strangers. As a child, I saw firsthand how evil people can be, and I am almost paralyzed with fear because of my hyper-vigilance. I fight the battle every day.

I am in counseling and I’m trying, but I am afraid I am going to make my daughter fear the world.

She’s in Head Start and loves it.

Anyone who meets her comments on how happy and outgoing she is, but I don’t know how to walk the tightrope between keeping her safe and making her afraid.

Any advice would be appreciated.

– Terrified Of Strangers

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Terrified: Considering your past, I think you’re being a wonderful mother. You are getting professional help and for that I applaud you. You are realistic about your issues, and your daughter appears to be thriving.

You may need counseling for some time to avoid becoming overprotective and to allow your daughter to develop into a healthy adult. While your fears are the result of your history, they do not have to become a part of hers.

Dear Abby: I grew up in the lap of luxury at a private country club in the East. My father was the golf pro.

In my teens I noticed that

these wealthy people always introduced one acquaintance to another whenever they met for a chat. I also noticed that my lower-income friends and family never did.

After moving across the country to the West Coast as an adult, I have noticed that nobody – rich or poor – seems to go out of their way to introduce a new face to others in the room. What would you say accounts for this? – Donna In Las Vegas Dear Donna: A person can’t do what he or she hasn’t been taught. During the 1960s, many parents stopped teaching their children social refinements like the one you describe. The result has been a lack of sensitivity in social interactions, and it is evident in more ways than this one.

Women at high risk for breast cancer should have yearly MRI Dear Doctor K: I’m at high risk for breast cancer. Should I have screening mammograms, MRIs or both?

Dear Reader: Many factors can put a woman at high risk for breast cancer. The most common and important are these: (1) inheriting certain high-risk genes from one of your parents; (2) having a parent, sibling or child with breast cancer; and (3) having received radiation treatment to the chest (usually for some type of cancer) before age 30.

Some women at high risk for breast cancer – Angelina Jolie is a very public example – choose to have both breasts surgically removed. For women at high risk, this choice offers the best prevention.

However, most women at high risk opt for a less drastic option: regular screening tests to detect early breast cancer. That’s the easy part of the answer to your question: Nearly every expert would agree that women at high risk for breast cancer should have regular screening tests.

The harder part of the answer is to decide which screening tests should be ordered, and how often they should be done. That’s because there isn’t a lot of evidence comparing the various screening

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff tests, and also because the technology used to perform screening is improving over time. So an answer that’s right today may not be right a year from now.

I think it is reasonable for high-risk women to get yearly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams starting by age 30.

Based on today’s technology, there’s little question that MRI is better than mammograms for screening high-risk women. Yearly mammograms are optional.

MRI uses magnetic fields to create an image of the breast, providing more detail than mammograms. And it detects small cancers that mammograms can miss.

What’s more, mammograms expose women to a small amount of radiation. So, is there any reason for high-risk women to have a mammogram in addition to an MRI? A recent study helps answer that question. It included 2,207 high-risk women, ages 30 to 69.

All were screened with digital mammograms and breast MRI

scans.

The results were as expected.

In the first year, the screening found 35 breast cancers. Of those, MRI detected all 35. Mammograms found only 12. No cancers were detected by mammogram but not by MRI. Does this mean mammograms are unwarranted? It’s not that simple. Breast MRIs show many more false positives than mammograms. False positives are spots that could be cancers. But after further testing (usually an invasive biopsy), they are found not to be cancers.

Many breast cancer specialists recommend that women at high risk for breast cancer and who have an abnormal result on the MRI should then get a mammogram. If the mammogram is normal, then they assume the MRI result was falsely positive and spare the woman a biopsy.

If you are at high risk for breast cancer, have a breast MRI every year. You and your doctor can decide if you should also have a yearly mammogram.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 19, unwed, and have a 2-year-old son. A guy I knew three years ago has been contacting me for the last six months. I haven’t seen him in two years, but he says he wants to marry me and adopt my son.

He said he had an alcohol problem, but is now getting help and will soon be over his drinking. He says he loves me, and I believe him. He asked for an answer on his proposal of marriage, but I don’t know what to say. If I can’t say yes, I’m afraid I will lose him, and I don’t want that. Help!

– Unsure, Bakersfield, California Dear Unsure: Telling him that you accept his proposal wouldn’t be wise at this time. You haven’t seen this guy for two years and you’re remembering him as he once was.

Let him know you’re interested and that you would like to start seeing him soon. After you do so, you’ll have a much better idea whether he would make a good husband and father.

I realize that it must be extremely difficult to be 19 and an unmarried mother, and probably many times you feel overwhelmed, but that’s no reason to leap blindly into marriage. If the marriage fails, believe me, you, and your child, will suffer much more than if you had remained single.

The cornerstone of a successful marriage is mutual love. You won’t know if you love this guy, or if he really loves you, until you get to know him. If he’s truly the right guy, the best way for him to prove it is by showing patience with you now.

Dr. Wallace: I’m 18 and

’TWEEN 12 & 20 Robert Wallace a first-year student at the University of Minnesota.

The fellow I’m dating is in his second year at the U of M. We have been seeing each other since school started last September. This guy is super, and I love him very much. He is the perfect guy for me. He also feels that I’m the perfect gal for him. Both of us are pre-med students and we both plan to enter into the medical profession.

We are a perfect match.

I feel that we know each other well enough to start a sexual relationship. My guy doesn’t like that idea because he thinks that a sexual relationship damages an excellent relationship more than it helps. I disagree. We are both intelligent adults and know the precautions of safe sex. Both of us have been involved in sexual activity while in former relationships.

I’ve been reading your column for quite some time and I know that you will take my boyfriend’s side rather than mine. But maybe you have changed your mind, and with age, you have become a little smarter. – Nameless, Minneapolis, Minnesota Dear Nameless: I still believe that a sexual relationship between unwed young couples has a higher percentage of breakups than for those young couples who are not sexually active. But keep reading this column. In a few years, I plan to be a little smarter.

HOROSCOPE

By BERNICE BEDE OSOL Newspaper Enterprise Association

By MICHELLE BOORSTEIN

Boorstein: How were you raised?

Weingarten: Pretty much

The Washington Post WASHINGTON – Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post columnist Gene Weingarten is known for exploring morality in both somber and extremely silly ways, including an in-depth article on parents who mistakenly leave their children to die in hot cars and an essay that asks, among other things, whether it’s possible to steal a fart.

His new book, out this week, lays out different questions, and for a new audience.

It’s a book on atheism for children.

In “Me & Dog,” Weingarten – who is an atheist – and his regular illustrator-collaborator, Eric Shansby, introduce a dog named Murphy and a kid named Sid whom he worships and tries to please.

The pair stand in for humans and God, and through big, colorful drawings and rhyme pose questions some probably will find insightful and others offensive.

Here are excerpts from the conversation:

Michelle Boorstein: How did you come to write this book?

Gene Weingarten: I stepped on my dog’s foot. That actually happened. The whole book was created in four seconds of insight. My dog – like the one in the book – is named Murphy. I stepped on her foot, she howled and then asked me, clearly: “What have I done wrong? What did I do? I won’t do it again.” The whole idea flashed in my mind: I am her God! The allegory sprung to mind. That there is a controlling presence. That we can importune him with favors. That all things happen for a reason. We may not understand the reason, but somebody up there does.

This is a book that is a sweet little book. It’s not hectoring

the way I raised my kids.

I knew my parents had no religious beliefs except they were hypocrites in that I had a bar mitzvah. It was important to them in their society that they pretended.

Yom Kippur we celebrated by drawing the drapes in the dining room so no one could see us eating.

Boorstein: Let’s get back to the book and how it came to be.

Weingarten: One of the

Washington Post photo by Michael S. Williamson

“Me and Dog” author Gene Weingarten (left) is pictured with his son Daniel in 2010. Weingarten said his kids grew up “knowing, understanding we didn’t have a religion.” Today, his daughter calls herself “agnostic” and Daniel, now 30, says he’s a mix of “Native American spirituality, gnosticism and Eastern philosophies.” anyone, but it’s trying to start a conversation with a very young person: What if things happen just because? Is that something to fear? And the book says: No, we have each other, we have love and the world is full of endless possibilities. Why should that be frightening?

Boorstein: What did you tell your children about God when they were growing up (his daughter, Molly, is 33, and his son, Daniel, is 30)?

Weingarten: They grew up knowing, understanding we didn’t have a religion.

We didn’t go to synagogue or church. My wife was born Catholic and I was born Jewish, but our kids weren’t bar or bat mitzvahed or anything. But we didn’t proselytize [atheism]. It became clear to them over time that faith wasn’t part of our life. And then exactly the right thing happened.

My daughter was curious

about religion and wound up majoring in pre-med and religion. She wanted to learn. (Molly calls herself “agnostic.” Daniel says he’s a mix of “Native American spirituality, gnosticism and Eastern philosophies.”)

Boorstein: But how did you discuss the issues that normally come up?

Weingarten: I don’t think I used the word “atheism.”

Because I don’t believe in proselytizing, even atheism.

It’s an essential problem with religion in that it is, by it’s nature, exclusionary. I’m not anti-religion, it does a lot of good things. But at its basis it is: We’re right, and they’re wrong. I’m sure at various times I told [my kids] my belief is: This is it, and IT is beautiful. The world is filled with hope and opportunity and it’s our job to take care of one another. That’s what this book is saying. This is not a threatening concept.

best-selling books today is Todd Burpo’s “Heaven Is for Real,” about Burpo’s son who claims he went to heaven.

Why are we troweling that kind of crap into the heads of our kids? This book is an alternative to that, it is an antidote to “Heaven Is for Real” ... I hate the fact that “Heaven Is for Real” is a runaway bestseller.

Atheists always get this question: How can you be an ethical, moral person? Which is annoying and insulting. It demonstrates a fundamental disconnect. Do you really need fear of hell to make you do good, moral things? I don’t need to fear the devil to do good. I know that it’s fundamentally right to do good. And that’s what I tried to teach my children. I have ethical and moral children.

Boorstein: You say you “want to start a conversation.” Is this advocacy? Is that you?

Weingarten: I’m not that earnest. I wanted to do a really entertaining book that didn’t patronize children and that made a very gentle statement. If there is no deity, and that’s what we have, that’s not a frightening thing.

The world is full of beauty and hope and we should treat one another with respect and love, and that’s a pretty great situation.

BEST BETS ± 7 p.m. CBS 2 NCIS: It’s a race against time for Gibbs and McGee (Mark Harmon, Sean Murray) when their mission to bring an intel-knowledgeable computer engineer back from Russia attracts enemies in “Twenty Klicks,” the drama’s 12th-season opener.

Foreign mercenaries pursue them, forcing them to move covertly to get back to America safely — while their colleagues in Washington, D.C., do what they can to help them. Michael Weatherly and Pauley Perrette also star.

± 8 p.m. ABC 7 Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.: Hayley Atwell doesn’t get her own “Marvel’s Agent Carter” series until midseason, but she and the character turn up here in the second season premiere, “Shadows.” She factors in as Coulson (Clark Gregg) and his team stay on the run, a flight complicated by the presence of some new S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. Former television “Xena” Lucy Lawless joins the show’s cast, and another guest star is notable: George Stephanopoulos, who’s listed as playing “self.”

PUBLIC NOTICE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE TWELFTH JUDICIAL CIRCUIT WILL COUNTY, ILLINOIS IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION TO CHANGE THE NAME(S) Jaidyn Frederick Campbell-Jomadiao TO Jaidyn Frederick Williams CASE NO: 14 MR 2136 NOTICE

OF WILL COUNTY (Published in the Herald-News September 16, 23, 30, 2014.

HN1149)

PUBLIC NOTICE SPRINGFIELD - The Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) is advising residents who get their drinking water from private wells in the Lakewood area (McHenry County), to test their water for possible groundwater contamination.

Routine testing of Lakewood's community water supply wells by the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) indicates contaminants could be present in the area's private wells. The contaminant Methyl Tertiary-Butyl Ether (MTBE) was detected at levels lower than the Illinois Groundwater Standard.

Although the contaminant's levels were lower than the standard, this is the same groundwater that serves private wells and it is possible the levels of the contaminants may be higher in private wells.

Residents with private wells located within the area (map located at: http://www.idph.state.il.us/ public/press14/9.16.14_IDPH_ Recommends_Water_Well_Testing _for_Private_Wells_Near_ Lakewood.htm) south of Ballard Road, west of Huntley Road, north of Ackman Road and east of Haligus Road, are encouraged to have their water tested for volatile organic compounds by a private laboratory.

For a list of laboratories certified to analyze drinking water for volatile organic compounds, interpretation of test results, contaminant health effects information, and recommendations for individuals who regularly consume well water, contact Joe O'Connor, IDPH West Chicago Regional Office, 245 West Roosevelt Road, Bldg 5, West Chicago, IL. 60185. Phone (630) 293-6800 or Joe.O'connor@Illinois.gov. The risk of adverse health effects depends on the amount of MTBE an individual is exposed to, length of exposure and an individual's overall health. Some studies suggest that drinking water contaminated with MTBE may cause gastrointestinal irritation, liver and kidney damage, and nervous system effects.

No violations of State of Illinois or federal drinking water standards have occurred in Lakewood's community water supply. For information concerning the community water supply contact Dean Studer at 217-558-8280 or via email at Dean.Studer@illinois.gov. This information has been compiled from historic data and is provided to the public to ensure full disclosure of state records.

Notice is hereby given that the undersigned on behalf of Jaidyn F. Campbell-Jomadiao, shall appear in the Will County Court Annex (Published in the Herald News Building, 57 N.
