Inspired and humbled.

That was my reaction last year as we sorted the nearly 50 nominees we received for our inaugural Everyday Heroes initiative to just 16 recipients.

These were your neighbors and co-workers. There were people who raised money for everything from cancer research to Special Olympics. A young man who collected gently used school supplies to give to children who couldn’t afford their own. A woman who mails care packages to troops overseas.

I felt blessed to live in a community so many of these amazing people called home.

And I’m looking forward to again learning about the many wonderful people who live in Will and Grundy counties.

We’re thrilled to work with ExxonMobil, CenterPoint Properties and Silver Cross Hospital to bring Everyday Heroes back for a second year to The Her-

VIEWS

Kate Schott ald-News and Morris Herald-News.

An Everyday Hero is that person who gives without expecting any recognition or accolades for doing so – those who selflessly donate their time and talents to help those in need or to better their community.

We’re looking to bestow Everyday Hero awards on at least a dozen special people in Will and Grundy counties.

Nominees must be at least 13 years old, and live or work in either Will or Grundy counties at the time of nomination. Submit the name, hometown and workplace of your nominee, along with a letter of 300 or fewer words, describing why your nominee deserves the honor.

We will celebrate the recipients at an

awards breakfast, scheduled for Sept.

9 at the Joliet Country Club. We’ll also devote a special section in the Sept. 11 Sunday edition of the paper (and online too) to our recipients.

Applications will be accepted through July 15 at www.theherald-news.com/ forms/everyday-heroes/ or mail it to: The Herald-News, Attn: Everyday Heroes, 2175 Oneida St., Joliet, IL 60435.

For more information, call projects and events manager Sarah Dilg at 815-2804113.

Please consider nominating your everyday hero to get the recognition he or she may not seek, but surely deserves.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Bolingbrook, Morris water parks open; others to open next week

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com

BOLINGBROOK – The warm, crystal-clear water splashing this weekend at Pelican Harbor Aquatic Park’s outdoor pool signified the unofficial start of summer.

The fun adults and children are expected to have at the Bolingbrook park during one of the most anticipated family weekends of the year never would have happened if the water park failed its health inspection.

Officials target Memorial Day weekend, when temperatures in Will and Grundy counties often creep into the 80s, to open.

Children full of joy, or fright, while sliding down one of the park’s water slides likely aren’t thinking about the work that goes into making the fun possible.

“Typically, as soon as the weather breaks in March, we have guys power-washing pools and painting a different area each year,” Bolingbrook Park District aquatics manager Tim Jaskiewicz said. “We begin hiring staff in mid-February. There’s been a lot of long-hour days the last couple months to make sure everything is open this weekend.”

At 11 a.m. Thursday, the Will County Health Department conducted its first outdoor water park inspection of the year. Delana Givens, the sanitarian who performed the inspection, said the preparation this year for many outdoor aquatic facilities in the county was delayed by cool weather.

Jaskiewicz said that wasn’t the case in Bolingbrook, however.

Givens and health department intern Kylee Hennessy went from point to point, testing water and making sure proper safety indicators were in place.

The optimum range for the pH level of public pools in the county is between 7.2 and 7.6, Givens said. Pelican Harbor’s outdoor pool measured 7.2 in both the shallow and deep ends.

“We check the shallow and deep ends of outdoor pools,” Givens said. “It may vary due to sun burning chlorine off in the shallow end.”

According to the CDC, as pH goes up, the ability for chlorine to kill germs goes down. A swimmer’s body has a pH between 7.2 and 7.8, so if the pool water isn’t kept in that range, then swimmers will start to feel irri-

and outdoor pools twice a month, when open. Another integral portion of the inspection is the pump room, which recirculates an aquatic park’s water.

“The pump room is the heart of the pool system,” Givens said. “It pushes and pulls water.”

Pelican Harbor has a digital meter that indicated to Givens and Hennessy the flow rate was within proper range.

The pump room is also where water is cleaned.

MEMORIAL DAY SERVICES AND CEREMONIES The National Moment of Remembrance, established by Congress, asks Americans wherever they are at 3 p.m. Memorial Day to pause in an act of national unity for a duration of one minute.

In addition to the designated moment, numerous Memorial Day ceremonies will be held Monday in Will and Grundy counties, including the following:

Volunteers place American flags Friday near the graves of military veterans at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood, in honor of Memorial Day.

Veterans’ graves decorated ahead of Memorial Day

American flags are added to more than 30,000 headstones

By MIKE MALLORY mmallory@shawmedia.com ELWOOD – Michelle Wells is an active member of the U.S. Coast Guard, stationed in Willowbrook.

One of her many duties is to participate in burial ceremonies for Coast Guard veterans. But her three children haven’t been a part of it.

On Friday morning, Wells took Madison, 9; Josiah, 7; and Jessica, 5, to Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood for the annual decoration of some 30,000 gravesites in preparation for Memorial Day weekend visitations.

“Now that the kids are off school, I thought I’d take them here to celebrate Memorial Day and get immersed in what the flag is all about,” Wells said.

“They see that Memorial Day isn’t just about parties and picnics.”

Wells and hundreds of others gathered at 8:30 a.m.

Friday by the cemetery’s bell tower for a briefing.

They were instructed to place one flag in the ground

against each headstone. Due to recent weather, the stakes wouldn’t sit well if placed at the usual spot 1 foot in front of the stone.

The volunteers were also told, after receiving American flags, not to set them on the ground. They were asked to look over the grounds before they started working, and to take a moment after the sites were decorated to look across the 982-acre cemetery and reflect on the sacrifice brave men and women made for the country.

The grounds have been decorated since 1942 in this manner. Josiah said he would like to do it again.

“It’s important because [veterans] died for us and this country,” he said.

Wells explained to the kids that not all of the veterans died in service, and that many of the gravesites are for servicemen and women who did continue living healthy lives. She said Josiah took placing the flags to heart, and it made him sad.

On Tuesday, Wells and the family are heading to Seattle to visit the children’s grandfather, a Marine.

Their father and other grandfather were in the Navy.

While the flags were planted, a grounds crew prepared a burial site nearby. As many of the cars emptied out of the cemetery about 10 a.m., a funeral procession could be seen nearing the entrance on Route 53.

LOCAL BRIEF

NEW LENOX

USF lays off 21 workers

Lincoln-Way board applicant withdraws, new subpoena sent to local park district

JOLIET – The University of St. Francis laid off 21 employees earlier this month.

The positions eliminated came from “administrative or staff roles,” USF spokeswoman Mary Lin Muscolino stated in an email.

“No faculty were affected,” she stated in the email. “The eliminations were intended to have minimal to no impact on classroom learning and the learning environment.”

The cuts were made to put the university in line with its budget for the new fiscal year, which starts June 1, she stated.

“The University of St. Francis identified opportunities to combine roles and responsibilities and adjusted staffing based on those opportunities,” Muscolino stated.

The layoffs were completed May 16.

USF has about 380 full- and part-time employees.

The layoffs occurred as USF begins construction on a 35,000-square-foot science building – the first new building on campus in 30 years.

USF also is in the process of renovating the former Guardian Angel orphanage on Plainfield Road, a building acquired in 2014, for expansion of its nursing programs.

By FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX — One candidate for the Lincoln-Way School District 210 board has dropped out, citing a lack of confidence in the board, which is facing heavy public scrutiny and a federal inquiry into district finances and activities.

Since late April, two board members have resigned.

The board has gathered applications to fill those vacancies as it continues to deal with the financial crisis that led to the decision to close North high school in the coming academic year, as well as a lawsuit. Now it is dealing with a federal investigation into the board and district, including former Superintendent Lawrence Wyllie.

District 210 officials on Monday released copies of a subpoena regarding a federal grand jury investigation into the district; any and all documents and records from Jan. 1, 2000, to present day that regard Wyllie, the board and other matters were requested.

Another subpoena dated May 10 was sent to the Frankfort Square Park District regarding the Superdog training facility on the grounds at North.

It notified Jim Randall, the park district’s executive director, that it sought records “pursuant to an official criminal investigation.”

Randall and Superintendent Scott Tingley on Friday declined to comment on the subpoena.

Tinley Park resident Jeffrey Ketchen was one of 10 applicants hoping for a spot on the board – following the resignation of Arvid Johnson in April – but he sent a message to the board Tuesday evening requesting to withdraw his application.

Ketchen said he has no confidence in the board and the amount of public scrutiny it faces shows it can do no right. He also didn’t want to take the risk of being called for a federal grand jury, he said.

He would rather be elected than appointed, which carries the connotation of favoritism, he said.

“I want the voice of the people to

speak. I don’t want the board to appoint me,” he said.

An email and call to board President Dee Molinare were not immediately returned Friday.

Ketchen said he sent his message to the board hours before former board member Kathleen Casey – who was on the board only about three months – sent her resignation letter to Molinare and Tingley.

In her email, Casey said she was resigning due to “personal reasons” and wished the Lincoln-Way district “nothing but the best.”

Criticism and anger toward Lincoln-Way officials only intensified this week after the news of a federal investigation into the district, as well as Casey’s resignation.

Residents at Thursday’s board meeting demanded the resignation of Tingley and board members, and called for the halting of North’s closure, the removal of plaques honoring Wyllie and district officials to not appear at North’s graduation ceremony June 1.

Joliet library board starts search for new director

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Public Library is looking for a new director.

Director Kevin Medows left May 19 to take a position with the Ela Area Public Library in Lake Zurich, library officials said.

The library will hire a consultant to do a national search and hopes to have a new director by fall, board President Lynn Poper Samalea said.

Samalea said Medows told the board his new job would allow him to pursue his interests in technology and would be closer to his home in Rolling Meadows.

“Kevin did express that this opportunity presented itself,” Samalea said.

“It was close to home. It involved technology. And it was good for him and his family.”

Medows’ departure follows that of Deputy Director Pam Dube, who left in April to become director of the Woodridge Public Library.

The board will not look to fill the position of deputy director. Samalea said that appointment is left to the director.

Board Secretary Esperanza Chavez

said the departures were due to new job opportunities and Medows’ interest in working closer to home.

“Opportunities came up, and they took advantage of them,” Chavez said.

The next library director will be the fourth since Jim Johnston, who headed the library for 33 years, retired in 2009.

Johnston was followed by John Spears, who stayed less than two years.

He was followed by Dianne Harmon, a longtime library employee who was planning her retirement when she took the job.

Medows came to Joliet from the Warren-Newport Public Library District in Lake County, where he was head of technical services. He was hired as deputy director in May 2012 and became director in January 2013.

Until a new director is hired, the board has appointed two library officials as interim co-directors – Helene Marzec, chief operations officer at the Main Branch, and Laura Yanchick, youth services manager at the Black Road Branch.

Meanwhile, the nine-member library board also has two vacancies.

Library board members are appointed by the mayor.

Memorial Day weekend: Gas prices low, fatal crashes on rise

By BRIAN STANEY bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Get your motor running, head out on the highway ...

Plenty have done just that as this weekend marks the beginning of the summer travel season, which is expected to be cheaper at the pump this year.

“There has been some increase in fuel prices, but the Illinois average is about $2.50 per gallon, which is still 30 or 40 cents lower than it was this time last year,” American Automobile Association spokeswoman Beth Mosher said Thursday.

So far this year, consumers have saved $18 billion in fuel costs compared with 2015, she said.

Mosher said AAA data expects “a mild summer as gas prices go,” which also will mean a heavy volume of travelers.

Nationwide, 38 million people take a trip over Memorial Day weekend, with 34 million of those using automobiles, though airports will also be busy. AAA recommends fliers arrive two to three hours before their scheduled takeoff for domestic flights and three to four hours before an international flight.

AAA expects to tow and assist 350,000 motorists over Memorial Day weekend, which is why Mosher recommends making sure your vehicle is in proper working order, as a visit to the local mechanic before your summer trip can spare you a more expensive one while you’re out of the area.

“And [Memorial Day] is really the weekend of backyard parties and barbecues, so it’s everyone’s responsibility to take the keys away from someone who’s had too much to drink,” Mosher said.

Illinois State Police Capt. Darryl Bogard, commander of District 5, which includes Will and Grundy counties, said police will focus during Memorial Day weekend on stopping the four most common traffic violations: speeding, driving under the influence, not using seat belts and distracted driving.

“As we expect to see an increase in traffic volume during this holiday period ... officers will increase patrols and aggressively enforce traffic violations,” Bogard said. “Specifically those violations likely to cause injury and death.”

Besides stressing the importance of driving sober, Bogard reminded drivers using a cellphone without a hands-free device is against the law in Illinois.

PLAINFIELD – Tony Simone will never forget the day he and six others were shot down while in a Black Hawk helicopter during a tour in Afghanistan with the U.S. Air Force, only five days before they were to return home.

“Five men died that day. Only me and my gunner lived, and our pilot who died was engaged to be married,” Simone said.

On Saturday, more than 600 runners and walkers assembled at Plainfield North High School for the fifth annual Run for the Brave Wounded Warriors 5K, sponsored by the nonprofit Operation Welcome You Home organization. The event was not affiliated with the Wounded Warrior Project.

“The funds from this event go to help veterans in Illinois who need support,” OWYH founder Donna Morsovillo said. “We help hundreds of vets in a multitude of ways. We have helped with welcome home ceremonies, hospital costs, funeral costs,

foreseen life change.

“They provided us resources to allow Tony to become more independent, as well as emotional support for Tony and our family. They provided Tony with welcome home escorts, a riding lawn mower, an Action Trackchair, as well as money,” she said.

The volunteer-led OWYH organization was founded in 2007 when friends of Morsovillo wanted a welcome home for their sons who were to return from deployment. The 5K began when Marines approached Morsovillo about a 5K fundraiser to help those who come home wounded.

The event kicked off at 7:30 a.m. with the presenting of the colors and the national anthem.

After, words of thanks were spoken

by Master of Ceremonies CBS investigative reporter Dave Savini, U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, and New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann.

Andrea Simone spoke of her family trials when Tony came back injured and encouraged others in the same position.

Under the American flag hoisted in the air by the Plainfield Fire Department, active Marines led the pack, with wounded veterans behind, then the rest of the runners and walkers took to the streets of Plainfield.

In addition to McDonough Street, work will be done on South Hammes, Capri, Romayne and Notre Dame avenues.

The city last week put out a notice that Waste Management trash and recycling pickups in Marycrest will be done at 6 a.m. instead of the usual 7 a.m. during the work so that garbage collection can be done before construction begins for the day.

The city also is doing water main work on Republic Avenue.

Businesses along Republic Avenue, a commercial street that runs between Jefferson Street and Glenwood Avenue, lost water for a few days last summer because of water main breaks.

JOLIET – Motorists could face delays at times on a section of McDonough Street in the coming weeks as the city begins a water main project in the Marycrest subdivision.

Any lane closures on McDonough Street will be temporary, with most of the work occurring inside the subdivision, a city engineer said.

Work on the project started last week and is expected to continue through June.

Hammes Avenue was closed at McDonough Street for part of Thursday because of construction work, which diverted traffic.

The city is beginning a four-year project to move water mains out of backyards in the Marycrest subdivision to the street, said Allison Swisher, civil engineer with Joliet.

“There’s already a water main on McDonough, so we won’t actually be working on McDonough,” Swisher said.

However, houses lining McDonough Street will be connected to that main, she said. So the work may require occasional closures in spots.

Business group organized to support Rialto Square Theatre

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Members of the local business community have formed a group aimed at supporting the Rialto Square Theatre.

James Roolf, president of First Midwest Bank’s Joliet Banking Center, announced at last week’s meeting of the Rialto board what he called a sort of ad hoc committee.

Roolf was applauded by board members and other people at the meeting after he talked about the group’s purpose and the value of the Rialto.

“I would suggest to you that we’re in the trenches with you,” he told the board. “If we criticize you, it will be constructive, not destructive.”

The Rialto board has received a lot of criticism for more than a year during a controversy over a new marquee that was abandoned and amid more recent cash-flow problems leading to the departure of general manager Randy Green.

But Roolf said recent 90th anniversary events at the theater were a reminder of the value the Rialto has to Joliet.

“The friction that may or may not exist among us needs to go away,” he said.

“We need to make sure the theater operates as it has historically.”

Roolf mentioned local car dealer Terry D’Arcy as one of the members of the group.

Interviewed after the meeting, he said the group has about a dozen members now but is likely to grow.

“We’re trying to understand the complexity of this operation,” he said.

“This is not an easy entity to operate.

Sources of revenue come from a lot of places.

“We need to find where those are and support them.”

Roolf said the group would advise the Rialto board and also help sponsor events at the theater.

Rialto management appeared to welcome the offer.

“I’ve known Jim Roolf for over 20 years, and I really appreciate his comments,” interim general manager Jack Ericksen said.

Ericksen noted that First Midwest Bank and D’Arcy were among the several local businesses that sponsored the anniversary events at the theater.

MORRIS

SHAW MEDIA MORRIS – A Joliet man who fell into Mazon Creek on Thursday morning has died.

Grundy County Coroner John Callahan said Henry L. Craig, 70, died at 11:40 p.m. Thursday in the intensive care unit at Morris Hospital.

In a statement, Callahan said Craig was fishing with friends when he slipped under the water and didn’t resurface. His friends called 911.

Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said Thursday shortly after the incident that deputies responded to a call that a man had fallen in the creek while fishing and hadn’t resurfaced.

“Deputy Chad Hrechko responded and located where the man went in the creek. He went in to try to rescue him

but couldn’t find him,” Kevin Callahan said. “The fire department showed up and went in, and were able to find him.”

Morris Fire Protection and Ambulance District Chief Tracey Steffes said Thursday that the district received the call that a person went into the Mazon Creek. Five of the firefighters on duty at the time are on the swift water rescue team.

The creek is about 5 to 6 feet deep in the area the fisherman went in. The rescue team located him within 10 minutes and were attempting life-saving measures when he was transported to Morris Hospital.

Kevin Callahan said the incident is being investigated and the Department of Natural Resources has been called due to the location it occurred.

Continued from page 3 Though Pelican Harbor figures to capitalize on Memorial Day weekend, Jaskiewicz said, with discounted admission rates, other parks in the county are opening a week later.

Splash Station, in Joliet, is due to open Friday, while the Lockport Park District’s Heritage Falls Water Park and Chaney Pool will open Saturday.

Meanwhile, in Grundy County, the Morris City Pool was set to open at noon Saturday. It’s the fifth year of operation for the updated facility,

which features a water mushroom, zero-depth entry, slides and a diving area.

The original Morris City Pool opened in 1922, but the updated one has a separate area for young children and an ADA-compliant lift. The newer pool brings everyone together, Morris Mayor Richard Kopczick said.

“It’s also a cost-effective alternative for parents who don’t want, or can’t, have a pool in their yard,” he said.

Whether it’s a public or private pool, this weekend or the next, many residents of Will and Grundy counties are starting their summers with a splash.

Star Wars Days return to downtown Joliet on Saturday If you go

By BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – “Star Wars” fans on Saturday get their annual chance to revel in the world of Jedi, Ewoks and lightsaber duels.

Star Wars Days returns for the seventh year to downtown Joliet, bringing a couple of hundred costumed characters and thousands of fans to an event that features a parade, games, book signings, music and demonstrations.

“This year we’re expecting to have more than 200 costumed characters,” said Denise Zielinski, community engagement officer for the Joliet Public Library. “The number is going up because people keep hearing about it.”

The Joliet Public Library organizes Star Wars Day, which started as an event to promote reading and continues to retain that purpose.

“The primary purpose is to show literacy and reading can happen with everything, even something as big and popular as ‘Star Wars,’” Zielinski said. “We have lots of books about ‘Star Wars.’”

The attendance numbers indicate people are coming to do more than pick up a book at the library.

The library counted more than 10,000 people at last year’s event, the

WHAT: Star Wars Days WHEN: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday WHERE: Joliet Public Library, 150 N. Ottawa St. and Joliet Area Historical Museum, 204 N. Ottawa St. The event is free.

biggest yet. Attendance has grown every year.

CHICAGO – With more than a century of rain, wind, snow and pollution conspiring to erase what was once carved into a row of headstones, about the only thing anyone in the tiny north-central Illinois community of Odell knew of the men buried there was that they’d fought in the Civil War. That’ll be different this Memorial Day at Odell Township Cemetery, thanks to scientific detective work by local high school students and a federal government agency that was impressed enough with their work to send new grave markers to the community 90 miles southwest of Chicago.

“These kids gave these men their identity back,” said Harold Schook, a 74-year-old Air Force veteran who every year at this time plants small American flags near area veterans’ graves with his American Legion buddies.

The last three of five new headstones arrived last month and were put in place with the others – the final chapter in a story that began a couple years ago when Schook contacted Paul Ritter, a high school science teacher at Pontiac Township High School who’d had his students study the effects of acid rain

The students tried etching the tombstones, then smearing them with shaving cream, knowing tiny ridges can appear when it dissolves. Nothing worked.

At the suggestion of a student, they took a color photograph of the markers, and then turned it black and white.

Nothing again. But when they reversed those two colors: “We started (seeing) some letters,” Ritter said.

Using those letters, the students compared them with a registry of the 157 Civil War veterans in Livingston County, Ritter said. Before long, they had their five names: James Wightman, Warren Newton, William Dudley, Thomas Thompson, and Thomas McNulty Vincent.

The students then went to work finding out all they could about the five; at least one died in battle.

The research on Vincent even led them to one of his descendants, Ken Falkson, of Cary, about 100 miles north.

Falkson said he knew that his greatgreat-great-grandfather was buried in Odell and had even visited years ago.

“It is important for the kids because it gives them a connection to the community (and) it makes history come alive for them,” Falkson said.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS WHO rejects call to move or postpone Rio Olympics

BERLIN – The World Health Organization on Saturday rejected a call from 150 health experts to consider postponing or moving the Rio Summer Olympics due to the Zika virus in hard-hit Brazil, arguing that the shift would make no significant difference to the spread of the virus.

The U.N. health agency, which declared the spread of Zika in the Americas a global emergency in February, said in a statement there is “no public health justification” for postponing or canceling the 2016 games, which run from Aug. 5-21.

In an open letter to the WHO director-general released Friday, experts called for the Rio games to be delayed or relocated, though not canceled, “in the name of public health.”

Syria rebels attacked by IS militants, gov’t troops

BEIRUT – Islamic State militants entered a major Syrian opposition stronghold in the country’s north on Saturday, clashing with rebels on the edges of the town as the extremist group builds on its most significant advance near the Turkish border in two years – even as it loses ground elsewhere in the country and in neighboring Iraq.

The town of Marea, just north

of Aleppo city, has long been considered a bastion of relatively moderate Syrian revolutionary forces fighting to topple Assad.

Pilots honor comrade who crashed WWII plane

NEW YORK – Air show pilots performed an aerial salute Saturday to their comrade who died after his World War II-era plane crashed in the Hudson River between New York and New Jersey a day earlier.

The P-47 Thunderbolt crashed Friday night during a promotional flight for the American Airpower Museum on Long Island, which is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the P-47 this weekend.

The plane’s pilot, William Gordon, 56, of Key West, Florida, was a veteran air show pilot with more than 25 years of experience. New York City police scuba divers recovered his body from the wreckage of the downed aircraft Friday night, about three hours after the collision.

Scott Clyman, flight operations pilot for the American Airpower Museum, told fellow mourners at a service Saturday that Gordon had always been fascinated

by World War II fighter planes “and he quickly demonstrated the skill to master these demanding aircraft.”

Poll: Voters not excited with presidential race

By JULIE PACE and THOMAS BEAUMONT The Associated Press ALLENTOWN, Pa. – Mary Heintzelman shakes her head in disgust over the presidential election.

“I don’t think we have a candidate that’s really suitable to be president in either party,” says Heintzelman, an administrative assistant from Whitehall, Pennsylvania. Her son suggests she write in a candidate when she votes in November, but the 68-year-old says despondently, “I don’t even know who to write in.”

Heintzelman is hardly alone in her angst over the prospect of a November matchup between presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump and likely Democratic pick Hillary Clinton.

While 65 percent of Americans say they’re interested in the White House race, just 23 percent say they’re excited as the presidential contest shifts from the primaries to the general election, according to a poll by the Associated PressNORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

The malaise crosses party lines. Majorities of Republicans and Democrats say the election has left them angry, helpless and frustrated. Only 13 percent of Americans say they’re proud of what has transpired in a campaign where surprising candidates have thrived and Trump in particular has defied political norms.

Election experts say the gap between Americans’ high interest and low excitement makes the race to succeed President Barack Obama highly unpredictable.

Turnout can be low when unpopular candidates are on the ballot, but the unusual nature of a race between a billionaire businessman who has never before sought elected office and a former first lady who would be the country’s first female president

Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton poses for a photo Friday with Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf at the Home of Chicken and Waffles in Oakland, California. could offset voters’ sour mood.

“We’re in uncharted territory here with these two candidates,” said Michael McDonald, a political science professor at the University of Florida who studies voter turnout. He said that while Americans may not be excited about their options, “the negativity gives people something to talk about.”

“If people perceive the election is interesting, they may still show up to vote even if it’s against a candidate,” McDonald added.

Former Gov. Ed Rendell, D-Pa., predicted voter enthusiasm could increase as the general election heats up, particularly when the nominees meet in debates.

“I do believe in some ways there’s a reset in the general election,” Rendell said. “First of all, you have some voters that paid no attention and only vote in general elections.

Secondly, even the ones who paid attention, now all of a sudden there’s two candidates and six months.”

For now, though, some people say they’re resigned to an election in which they’ll be voting against a candidate instead of for one. That view was pervasive in interviews with more than 30 voters in-

terviewed by the AP in Pennsylvania. Democrats have carried the state in every presidential election since 1992, but Trump’s campaign hopes strong support from working-class white voters could swing the state back to the GOP. “Your vote isn’t who you’re for, it’s who you don’t want in,” Joann Spangenberg, a 48-year-old loan underwriter, said as she stood outside her office in downtown Allentown on a sunny afternoon. “It shouldn’t be that way.”

Spangenberg said the election is generating more interest among her family and friends than in past years, including spurring her daughter to register to vote right after her 18th birthday. But the frequent Republican voter says that while she likely will go for Trump in November, her support is lukewarm at best.

“He’s what we have left,” she said before ducking back into her office.

Pittsburgh voter Kim Bowles feels the same way about Clinton. Bowles has been intrigued by Bernie Sanders, but doesn’t think the Vermont senator can win, leaving her feeling stuck with Clinton as the only option for stopping Trump.

Dear Mr. Berko: I am 55, married, have owned a successful small construction company for 32 years and work with my daughter, who’s a genius at office management. I got rid of our old stockbroker, who was buying and selling biotech and high-tech stocks I never heard of, a year ago. In the past eight years, I’m probably down about 12 percent. My new broker is recommending Flowers Foods, which I’ve never heard of, and tells me I should keep Flowers till I retire at 67. What is Flowers Foods? Is this guy out of his mind? He had me buy 500 shares of General Electric, Emerson Electric, Monsanto, Clorox, Cisco and AT&T, which I know about.

But Flowers makes me wonder. – SS,

Oklahoma City Dear SS: This broker is your lifesav-

er, and he’s helping you build a good income and growth retirement plan.

Listen to this guy. Be glad you have him. I like his picks.

My favorite carbohydrate stock is Flowers Foods (FLO-$18.25), maker of Wonder Bread, which, in 1931, was the first presliced bread to be marketed in the nation. So when you use the popular phrase “the greatest thing since sliced bread,” you mean the greatest

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko thing since Wonder Bread came out in 1931.

This $3.8 billion-revenue company has 10,400 employees and operates two divisions, direct store delivery (84 percent of revenues) and warehouse delivery (16 percent of revenues).

The DSD segment’s 4,861 independent jobbers sell such names as Nature’s Own, Cobblestone Bread, Tastykake, Roman Meal, Merita, Sunbeam Bread and Holsum to retail food stores from FLO’s 39 bakeries. And FLO’s WD segment produces snack cakes, rolls and breads for national retail, food service, vending and co-packer customers via 10 bakeries.

Breads and rolls, day after day, and snacks and cakes, day after day, are monotonous, so FLO is as exciting as watching a Kabuki dance. FLO doesn’t sponsor gastronomical athletic events where contestants consume prodigious quantities of product. FLO doesn’t brag that its breads walk on water or that “Wonder bread builds

strong bodies 12 ways.” There’s nothing exciting about what FLO does, though the dough-making process is fascinating to watch. If only management could find a way to bottle and sell the redolent baking aromas, the stock could quadruple in a week.

However, in the past 15 years, there have been at least 13 increases in FLO’s revenues, earnings and dividends. And those are bragging rights.

This year, FLO expects to generate $4 billion in revenues, earn $1.10 a share, and raise the dividend from 57 cents to 60 cents.

Meanwhile, management’s ongoing profit initiatives, recent price hikes, increasingly efficient operating performance, equipment modernization and newly acquired brands (Dave’s Killer Bread, Alpine Valley plus others) should help generate $4.6 billion in 2019-20 revenues.

And with an anticipated 40 percent improvement in net profit margins, to 7.2 percent, FLO could earn about $1.55 a share and pay an 80-cent dividend in four to five years. So with an average long-term price-earnings ratio of 21-1, FLO could trade at $32. Although, I think management will authorize another 3-for-2 split when FLO touches

the $24-$27 level again. Since 2007, FLO has had three 3-for-2 splits.

A 1,000-share purchase buys a 58-cent dividend yielding 3.1 percent.

That dividend totals $580 a year, and if past is prologue, FLO’s dividend could increase about 6 percent annually. So in a dozen years, when you’re 67, the annual dividend could grow to $1.17 a share, or $1,170. But if you were to reinvest FLO’s dividend for the next dozen years, you could buy an additional 520 shares, so you’d own a total of 1,520 shares. And your dividend income could grow from today’s $580 to $1,790 when you turn your company over to your daughter and hang up your hammers and saws.

Officers and directors own 17.2 percent of the stock, and Vanguard, Fidelity, T. Rowe Price, BlackRock, Wellington Management and other big funds own more than 50 percent of FLO’s stock. Schwab doesn’t like FLO, and Credit Suisse has a “neutral” rating, but BB&T Capital Markets and I say, “Buy it.”

Clairmont Ltd. acquires design firm Artisan Builder & Co.

Ray’s Collision Centers in Mokena will become Crash Champions.

Crash Champions also operates locations in Chicago, Crestwood, New Lenox and Plainfield.

SUBMITTED REPORT BURR RIDGE – Burr Ridge-based Clairmont Ltd. recently acquired Artisan Builder & Co. of Joliet. Artisan’s owner and founder Dawn McKenna – a certified kitchen, bath and residential designer – has joined Clairmont.

The announcement was made by Patrick Franz, owner of the 26-year-old building firm.

“I have known Dawn for Dawn at least 20 years. Her dedica- McKenna tion to design will be a tremendous asset to Clairmont. She is highly accomplished and loves working with clients,” Franz said in a news release.

McKenna has been the owner of Artisan Builder & Co., a full-service design and remodeling company in Joliet, since 1989.

She became a certified kitchen (CKD) and bath (CBD) designer in 1996 through the National Kitchen & Bath Association. In addition to being a member of the NKBA, Dawn has served as past president, vice president and on the board of directors of the Southwest Suburban Home Builders Association.

“Pat and I have collaborated on several joint projects with the SSHBA in the past,” McKenna said in the news release. “There were two projects in particular where we rallied association support for donated labor and materials for those in need: one involved adapting living spaces for a man who was paraplegic following an accident and another to accommodate care for a growing child with muscular dystrophy. I truly enjoy creating more functional, beautiful spaces and look forward to my association with Clairmont.”

Crash Champions to take over Ray’s Collision Center in Mokena SUBMITTED REPORT MOKENA – On June 1, Ray’s Collision Centers in Mokena will become Crash Champions, joining the company’s other locations in Chicago, Crestwood, New Lenox and Plainfield.

“Adding Mokena to our collision repair service centers was a smart move for both Ray and myself,” Matt Ebert, owner of Crash Champions, said in a news release. “Ray and I have been business partners for many years, which makes this acquisition even better. For more than 25 years, Ray has been working hard and has been very successful to have built this solid foundation, and when he was looking to slow down and semi retire, buying his Mokena location was the smart thing to do.”

Ray Zarack, owner of RCC, said he

has reached an age where he wants to enjoy life with family and friends.

“I’m going to continue to support both my Wilmington and Manhattan locations, just take a little more time off, and selling to my past partner Matt seems like the smart and logical thing to do,” he said in the news release. “ ... I trust Matt, I know his work ethic and his desire to exceed our customers’ expectations, so this acquisition, although the name will change, the great service we provide will still be top priority. There will be no change in management and Crash Champions will continue to provide the same products and fine service on which we have built our reputation in the industry and community.”

Tim Hetfliesch, manager of RCC for more than 15 years, believes the change will be good for everyone.

“Matt is a solid businessman and one we can all trust, not only the employees at RCC, but also the past, present and future customers,” he said. “ … I’m excited to see my future at Crash Champions and look forward to continuing to service the good people of Will County.”

Ebert said Will County has been good to “us and we will continue to be good to them.” Ray’s Collision Centers has a solid foundation in Mokena, which the company plans to foster and grow.

“We encourage customers to call or stop by if they have any questions.

Our open-door policy keeps us connected to our community and we enjoy having them be a part of our extended team,” Ebert said.

Crash Champions will be updating its social media pages to keep the community updated.

OUR VIEW

Remembering, honoring those who gave all Barbecues, swimming, picnics, bicycling or taking in fireworks. You might be doing one – or all – of these activities this weekend.

All are typical activities for the weekend considered the unofficial kickoff to summer. It is a time to get together with family and friends – a time when we appreciate all the freedoms that we as Americans enjoy.

But those blessings come at a cost – and that cost is often borne by men and women in uniform. For many, Memorial Day is a somber occasion.

Observed on the last Monday in May, Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who gave their lives while serving in the U.S. military.

The holiday started in May 1868, three years after the Civil War ended, as Decoration Day – a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers, according to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs website, www.va.gov.

After World War I, the definition of the day extended to recognize those who died in all U.S. wars. In 1971, an act of Congress declared Memorial Day a national holiday.

There are many ways to pay your respects; in Will and Grundy counties this long weekend there will be parades, memorials, services, ceremonies and moments of silence at area veterans organizations, churches, cemeteries and town squares.

The presidential proclamation issued by President Barack Obama notes that 3 p.m. local time Monday is the designated time for all Americans to observe, in whatever way they choose, the National Moment of Remembrance.

“With courage and a love of country that knows no limits, America’s men and women in uniform exemplify patriotism at its core – stepping into harm’s way to protect our people and to safeguard the ideals that have long sustained our democracy,” the presidential proclamation starts.

“Those who serve under the stars and stripes embody the highest form of citizenship, and on Memorial Day, we pay solemn tribute to those brave Americans who laid down their lives to defend our freedom.”

So before you fire up the grill or head to a swimming pool, find a way to remember and honor those who gave all. Fly a flag. Attend a parade.

Explain to your child the significance of the day.

Say a prayer for the souls of military members who have died.

Take a moment to honor the sacrifice many have made that allows you to have so much.

Republican nominee wiping out America’s morals Donald Trump is on his way to being an authority figure. Some feel he’s already there. When nominated, he will have the mantle of authority that comes from being the standard-bearer of one of America’s two major political parties.

Ironically, Trump will have captured the Republican nomination by winning only 12 million votes, or about 5 percent of the voting population’s 225 million registered voters. The same holds true for Clinton, who will have won north of 13 million votes, or about 5.7 percent of the total voters. For all the reforms in politics that have wrested deciding nominees from “smokefilled back rooms,” a tiny minority still hands the majority our only choices.

The voting public is none too happy with the selections. The polls all agree that Trump and Clinton are both mining unexplored depths in terms of unfavorable ratings. An ABC poll found Clinton and Trump to be “the most disliked nominees in decades.”

Trump beat Clinton hands-down in the “thumbs-down” category with a 60 percent unfavorable rating to her 53 percent.

But Trump isn’t just setting records for unfavorable ratings and winning with tiny percentages of the total voters. He is winning – almost without resistance from the public, including

I should be trembling, I guess, to repeat Trump’s own words. Megyn Kelly did, as have others, and Trump was ugly in his response, infamously claiming Kelly had blood seeping from her every orifice.

We still have a free press. While many distrust the media, they also like it when the press reveals things about the candidates they dislike, and keep politicians in check. But Trump has put us on notice he will pass laws to allow him, as a president, to sue them into silence. When Trump says, “Believe me,” he’s really saying, “believe only me.”

Now that he’s an “authority figure” ... beware.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Continued from page 33

Release the federal and special funds, save vital social services

Not appropriating and authorizing these funds would be irresponsible on the part of lawmakers as these funds are already available for spending.

2. Unlock special funds that aren’t part of the state’s General Revenue Fund (GRF).

Special funds are financed by fees that aren’t part of the GRF. For example, Illinois law requires utilities to charge customers a fee to fund the state’s Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program. If the funds are not appropriated for spending, the utilities still send the collected funds to the state. The funds could be used to help people who need utility assistance, instead of sitting idle. Just like federal pass-through funds, special funds don’t add to the structural deficit of the state’s operating budget.

We are appealing to common sense in these very politically divisive times and ask that Illinois legislators appropriate these funds and the governor approve them for spending rather than unnecessarily hold them hostage.

To the Editor: As members of the General Assembly approach the home stretch of the budgeting process, they must consider appropriating federal pass-through and special funds through a standalone budget should there not be an agreement on the 2017 budget. Without the appropriation of this funding, some programs may have to close, putting vulnerable populations at risk of losing homes, jobs, etc.

There are two ways legislators can save many indispensable services as the new fiscal year approaches: 1. Release the federal pass-through funds.

Federal funds are appropriated by Congress and authorized for spending by the government. These funds are allocated to states to provide services. Our legislators appropriate federal pass-through funds to authorize state government to spend the funds, which represent a multi-billion-dolDalitso Sulamoyo lar revenue package that supports serPresident & CEO of the Illinois Association vices and contributes to Illinois’ economy. of Community Action Agencies

Attack on privacy

To the Editor: President Barack Obama launched a bathroom/locker room attack on our privacy and commonsense. The Obama administration issued a letter that directed public schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their chosen gender identity.

Schools are faced with the loss of federal aid if they don’t comply or enforcement by the Justice Department. The letter was based on the administration’s new interpretation of “sex” as “gender identity” in Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The actual wording prohibits discrimination based on sex.

The letter violates our Constitutional rights to privacy. While the Constitution contains no expressed right to privacy, the Supreme Court has used amendments on specific items to broaden the privacy right including to things like pornography and abortion.

I view transgenderism as confused thinking in need of professional help and prayers. The American Psychological Association and American Psychiatric Association refer to the Diagnostic and

Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which says people who experience intense, persistent gender incongruence can be given the diagnosis of “gender dysphoria.”

According to a National Review 5/23 issue article “Transgender Activism Has Produced a Legal Absurdity,” the Obama administration and transgender activists have shown no interest in sensible compromises that give any weight to the privacy or safety of others. The transgender policy makes it much easier for any male with mischievous purposes to access girls’ facilities.

The state of North Carolina is fighting against the government’s abuse of power.

A group of UNC students filled a lawsuit saying the government is forcing them to choose between educational pursuits and personal privacy. The Daily Signal ran on May 11 the article “Sexual Abuse Survivors Talk About ‘Devastating Implications’ From Transgender Bathroom Laws.”

Sensible people are fighting this invasion of privacy.

IHSA BOYS STATE TRACK FINALS

Lockport’s Meyer, Dwight’s Bennett win state titles

By CURT HERRON cherron@shawmedia.com CHARLESTON – A year ago, John Meyer made an impressive debut at the IHSA Class 3A boys track and field meet when he placed ninth in discus as a freshman.

On Saturday, the Lockport sophomore not only went from the fringes of the awards stand to the very top of the podium, he managed to do it in a different event.

Thanks to a toss of 61-2 in shot put, Meyer beat eventual discus champion AJ Epenesa of Edwardsville by 9.5 inches to capture top honors in the finals at Eastern Illinois University.

On a day where no senior won a title in a Class 3A field event, Meyer was one of three sophomore champions. As was the case a year ago, he was the youngest placewinner in his event in the state’s largest class.

He becomes Lockport’s first state champion in the sport since Kyle Engnell won the 1,600 in 2008. He is the Porters’ eighth state champ and their fourth winner of a field event.

“I set no expectations coming down, I just wanted to do my best,” Meyer said. “My goal before this year was to just get in the finals and medal, until I started getting more success and that’s when I wanted to win. So this feels great.

“When I went from the glide to the spin, it really helped since I improved a lot. It also really helped to stay consistent throughout the season. I know that I can always improve more, and the sky’s the limit.”

Coming into Saturday, Dwight hadn’t won a state title since its 4x400 relay took top honors in 2006, and the Trojans last had an individual champ in 1987 when Tom Wells won the 200.

But those streaks were snapped in the Class 1A meet when senior Michael Bennett took top honors in the 800 with a time of 1:54.06, which was 1.86 seconds faster then the runner-up, Newton’s Joseph Stone.

Bennett hadn’t won any individual medals before, claiming three medals in relays in 2014 and 2015.

On his special day, he picked up two more medals, running on fourthplace teams in the 4x800 and 4x400 relays.

“It’s really just an awesome feeling being a state champion, since I never had that before,” Bennett said. “My coaches have really given me the correct training to get me to where I am at right now. Coach told me that I would have to get out and control the race and told me if

which was the best large-school finish at state for both schools. East St. Louis won the team title with 54 points.

The biggest point contributor for coach Tom Razo’s Porters was senior Derrius Rodgers, who was second in both the 100 and 200 and also ran on a sixth-place 4x200 relay.

Rodgers did his best to try to derail Galesburg senior Josh Eiker in both sprints, but had to settle for seconds. He posted a 10.66 in the 100, which was .18 seconds behind Eiker and his time of 22.13 in the 200 was .47 behind the Silver Streaks’ standout.

He came in fourth place. and I held position up front pretty well. I knew that this race was going to be 1000 meters for positioning and 600 meters for a race. When I hit the 600 mark, I thought of all the things that motivated me and tried to break it open, hoping that Torpy would be too tired and I could run away from the rest of the field.”

Lemont’s Chris Thompson joined ex-

clusive company after finishing second in the 400 (48.45) to Grant’s Octavian Wells to medal for the second straight year in that event. The only Indian to win multiple individual medals in the sport was Nick Bromberek.

“This season worked out just the way that I wanted it to,” Thompson said. “I came up just a little short, but that was the hardest that I’ve ran this season. So

I have nothing to complain about since I left it all out there and he was just too fast. After a long year of ups and downs, to do what I wanted to do is special and I’m glad that I could cap my senior year like this.”

Bolingbrook senior Jaylan McConico became the third athlete from his school to medal in a hurdle event a year ago, and on Saturday he became the first to do so multiple times when he placed fourth in both the 110 (14.21) and 300 hurdles (38.36).

“I’m really proud of myself that I got all of the goals that I set for this year and had two school records,” McConico said. “My goal was getting top five in each so I went out and competed and did my best and I got it.”

Seneca senior Ross McCormick won two medals for the second straight year, taking fifth in the 800 (1:58.48) and seventh in the 1600 (4:34.24) in Class 1A. As a result, he became the first Irish athlete to win four individual medals.

Plainfield South senior John Partee won a medal for the second straight year after taking sixth in the 800 (1:54.17).

Plainfield North’s 4x200 relay (1:27.61) of Carlos Baggett, Clay Paysen, Joe Stiffend and Hunter Houslet claimed fifth place.

Plainfield Central senior Mike Lyons was sixth in high jump (6-5) while Providence Catholic’s Lucas Weaver placed eighth in pole vault (15-0).

In Class 2A, Lincoln-Way West’s Evan Mitchell was fourth in the 3,200 (9:32.75) while Reed-Custer’s Zach Weaver placed seventh in the 400 (50.3).

Minooka’s (3616) Matt Dlugopolski takes the baton from Brandon Adams (3611) and runs the last leg of the 3A 4X400 on Saturday at the IHSA Boys State Track Finals at O’Brien Field at Eastern Illinois University.

Minooka came in third place.

SPORTS | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

The Porters’ senior, who won medals in both sprints last year, also joined classmates Chris Gargano, Jesse Bustami and Sheldon Snapp on the 4x200 relay (1:27.67). His three medals at the same finals ties the program standard set by Dan Schrock and Nick Setta in 1998.

Not only did Rodgers improve upon his school-best sixth-place finish in the 100 from a year ago, but he also tied the 97-year old standard for second place in the 200/220, which was established in 1919 by Ed Flink. And he joined Tim Pinnick (1974-76) as the only other Porter to win four individual medals at state.

“It’s been good to race against him because he pushes me so all credit to him and I was happy with my results today,” Rodgers said of Eiker. “He got moved up to 3A this year so I could have been a state champ. Our relay got lane nine but to run a 1:27 out of lane nine is pretty impressive. We know if we had a better lane we could have run a last faster. I loved representing the Porters and will always have a soft spot for them down in my heart.”

After getting shut out in relays a year ago, Minooka not only placed in all three of its relays in the finals but claimed a second and two thirds with many of the same guys competing.

The Indians took second in the 4x100 in 41.73, finishing .09 seconds behind East St. Louis. Then they placed third in the 4x200 in 1:27.09, getting edged by the Flyers for second while Neuqua Valley prevailed. Colin Marchio, Maceo Findlay, Brandon Adams and Justin Wolz competed in both relays. The school’s previous-best in both relays were sixths from 2014.

In the 4x400 relay, Minooka was third in 3:17.31 as East St. Louis beat Neuqua for the title. Wolz started things and Adams was third while Aaron Arroyo got the baton second and Matt Dlugopolski was the Indians’ final runner on the track.

“Everyone kind of had the mentality to avenge last year and I’m proud of how we did,” Wolz said. “It wasn’t exactly how we wanted it to end, but we put our best effort out there and that’s all that we could ask for. The reason that we had all of the success this year was that we got points from top to bottom in all events.”

Another strong performance for coach Nick Lundin’s Indians was turned in by Soren Knudsen, who took third in the 1,600 in 4:17.1. He led in the final lap, but got passed by two runners, including the eventual champion, Sandburg’s Sean Torpy.

“I didn’t feel too hot today after not getting much sleep last night, but that’s not an excuse,” Knudsen said. “I just tried to run the smartest race possible

Ruskowski leads West to softball regional title

By ROB OESTERLE roesterle@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Even though upstart Coal City scored a run in the top of the first inning Saturday in the championship game of the Class 3A Lincoln-Way West Regional, Lincoln-Way West pitcher Amanda Ruskowski wasn’t worried.

“It usually takes more than one run to beat us,” Ruskowski said. “They are a good team and they got a run early, but I knew our offense would get it back.”

The Warriors (28-5) got it back and then some, scoring three runs in the bottom of the first en route to a 10-3 win and the regional title. Ruskowski, the team’s leadoff hitter, helped spark the offense with three hits and three RBIs, including a two-run homer in the fifth inning.

“I used to be a No. 3 hitter,” Ruskowski said. “I don’t change anything when I bat leadoff. You usually only

lead off once a game anyway, so I haven’t changed the way I hit. I got a good pitch and put a good swing on it and it went out.”

Ruskowski’s dinger was the second of the day for the Warriors, who advance to the Kankakee Bishop McNamara Sectional semifinal Tuesday against Marian Catholic. Dani Callahan led off the bottom of the third with a long home run to left.

“We had a good approach at the plate,” West coach Heather Novak said.

“We put up three runs in the bottom of the first with two outs and kept it going.

All the girls do a good job up and down the lineup. They work hard on putting the ball in play and making the other team make plays.

“And with Amanda on the mound, she’s been great all season, and for all four years here. Defensively, we played well. It was a nice win all-around.”

Coal City (23-8) got on the board early. Taylor Meents reached on an error, advanced on a passed ball and scored on Makenna Emerson’s single.

With two outs in the bottom of the first, Callahan singled and scored on a double to center by Jenna Sharp to tie it.

A single by Sarah Goff scored courtesy runner Sam Simons and another single

by April Lewandowski brought home Goff for a 3-1 Warrior lead.

Callahan’s homer in the third started another three-run rally as Sharp and Goff followed with singles. After an infield popup and fielder’s choice, a walk to Anna Antonelli loaded the bases and freshman Madison Eckberg singled to score Simons before Ruskowski singled in Lewandowski for a 6-1 lead.

The Warriors plated an unearned run in the fourth to go ahead 7-1, and Coal City countered with a run on an RBI grounder by Emerson in the fifth

to make it 7-2. In the bottom of the fifth, Antonelli reached by catcher’s interference and came home an out later on Ruskowski’s homer. Mackenzie Mahy followed with a single and Sharp walked before a single by Sharp made it 10-2.

Coal City didn’t go down without a fight. Meents singled with one out, went to second on an error on a ball hit by Blaire Harseim and scored on a single by Emerson. A walk to Leah Campos loaded the bases, but Ruskowski got the next hitter to pop out to end the game.

“We had a good season,” Coal City coach Stephanie Harmon said. “We lost to a very good team today, but our girls showed that they can compete at the 3A level. We will miss our three seniors [Emerson, Abby Olsen and Meents], but we have a lot of talent coming back and coming up.”

Lincoln-Way East downs SWS Blue rival Lockport

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – The old saying in any sport is that it’s hard to beat a team three times in one season.

That is exactly what the Lincoln-Way East softball team did Saturday as the Griffins defeated Lockport, 9-3, to capture the Class 4A Minooka Regional title.

The fourth-seeded Griffins (23-7) move on to play No. 1 Providence Catholic in the Lockport sectional semifinal at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The score was not an indication of how the game played out through the first four innings between the SouthWest Suburban Blue rivals.

In the bottom of the third with one

out and the Griffins’ Olivia Prieto on first after a single, Ami Ill hit a sharp line drive to right-center field off Porter starter Justine Cielenski. Right fielder Bailey Delrose broke for the ball but slipped and fell as the ball rolled to the fence for an RBI triple and a 1-0 lead.

“I didn’t see her fall,” Ill said. “I was just running and listening to my first base coach, then picked up my coach at third who was waving me to third base. It was really big to score first. It was a total team effort, and that is what we need each game to reach our goal of getting back to state.”

The score remained the same until the bottom of the fifth when East scored three runs without the ball leaving the infield. With one out, the Griffins strung five consecutive infield

hits. The big one was a two-run single

by Christine Malito for a 4-0 lead.

Lockport had opportunities as the Porters had runners on base in every inning except the second, but could not get the big hit when needed. The Porters collected nine hits but stranded 10 runners.

“We missed opportunities early and that has been the story of our season,” Lockport coach Marissa Chovanec said. “I liked the way we fought until the end, but that fifth inning when the ball never left the infield hurt.”

Marina Esparza threw a complete game victory for the Griffins, not only getting out of tough situations on the mound, but helping herself with a home run in the sixth.

“I just pitched the ball where I was

supposed to because we have a great defense and they will make the plays,” she said. “I just wanted to make contact when I hit the home run. We came out today and played as a team. We played our way.”

East added five runs in the bottom of the sixth as Malito hit a grand slam, giving her six RBIs on the day.

“I knew I just had to make contact and fought off pitches when the count got to 3-2,” she said after hitting her sixth homer of the season and first grand slam of her career.

Lockport put together five hits in the seventh, with a two-run single from Tara McElligott and RBI from Zara Voulgaris. Leadoff hitter Elena Woulfe had three hits on the day.

AREA SOFTBALL ROUNDUP

Plainfield Central holds off Romeoville, advances to Lockport Sectional

By JEFF DE GRAW Shaw Media correspondent JOLIET – Plainfield Central won its fifth consecutive regional softball title Saturday in the Plainfield South Regional with a wild 11-10 victory over Romeoville.

Central advances to the Lockport Sectional semifinal against Homewood-Flossmoor at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

The Wildcats built a 9-2 lead after four innings on the strength of two home runs

by Alejandra Ochoa and one by Sara Peterson.

“I was just trying to get base hits each at bat, concentrating on doing the little things to win a game,” Ochoa said. “We stayed pretty relaxed as a team and were just having fun, but it was a crazy game.”

With the wind blowing out, the Spartans put up six runs in the fifth behind two-run home runs from Brittany Osborne and Katherine Szulczyk to make it a 9-8. The Wildcats added two runs in the bottom of the inning on Peterson’s second homer to go back up, 11-8.

Romeoville wasn’t finished as Skye Osborne got the Spartans within 11-10 with a two-run blast in the sixth. That

would end the scoring.

“My hat is off to Romeoville,” Central coach Anne Campbell said. “They really hit the ball well and never gave up. We battled also, and our outfield play was phenomenal in getting to balls that Romeoville was hitting all over the place.

“Brooklyn (Daly) kept us in the game on the mound. She did her job out there and got us through the seventh inning.”

“They (Romeoville) did a nice job of hitting the ball,” Daly said. “To be honest, I wasn’t expecting that. We really worked hard, kept fighting and wanted to win the regional again.”

“Eric had just some unbelievable digs on Brandon Baranski. And I was really proud of how Ian played.

SOFTBALL: PROVIDENCE CATHOLIC 3, JOLIET WEST 1

Amato’s blast lifts Providence Catholic over Joliet West

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Providence Catholic senior Taylor Amato has been struggling a bit at the plate, and coach Jay Biesterfeld had her in Saturday’s lineup as the flex player and left fielder.

But with the game on the line, the coach gave her an at-bat at the most opportune time. Amato delivered, belting a two-out, three-run home run to left field in the bottom of the sixth inning to give the Celtics (29-6), the No. 1 seed in the Class 4A Lockport Sectional, a thrilling 3-1 victory over Joliet West in the championship game of the West Regional.

“I guess it was good timing,” said Amato, whose homer was her fourth.

“I started the season strong, but I’ve been struggling lately. Coach told me before the game that I was the flex player, but if we needed a big hit, he would call on me.”

“Amato is a good hitter,” Biesterfeld said. “We just made the decision before the game to go with (Allyssa) Demma to start. Amato made a couple good plays in left field, she was playing well and we thought we would give her shot.”

The blast came off tough-luck loser Kiley Robb after Emily Pilon had a squib single and winning pitcher Kendal Judge lined a hard single past third to set up the inning. Pilon’s hit

was her third among the Celtics’ six.

West (19-13), the No. 8 seed, had taken a 1-0 lead in the top of the fifth on Tayler Davis’ sacrifice fly to left-center field. Robb was on the verge of making that stand up, but Amato had other ideas.

“She (Robb) was pitching outside all day, and I don’t like outside pitches,” Amato said. “When I saw a fastball coming on the inner half, I went after it.”

“Kiley was fantastic,” West coach Heather Suca said of Robb. “She got out of huge jams, It was the best game our team played all year. We just couldn’t get one to fall and they got the big hit.”

Biesterfeld, whose team won its

first regional since 2012 and will meet Lincoln-Way East at 4:30 p.m.

Tuesday at Lockport, noted the quality of the pitching matchup.

“We tried to put some pressure on them early, and we did, but we couldn’t get the timely hit,” he said.

“She (Robb) is crafty. She changes speeds real well. We hadn’t played poorly before the home run, we just had to stay with it against her.

“For us, Kendal was excellent. She hit her spots and commanded the zone. She battled out there.”

West finished with four hits against Judge. Junior catcher DeShonte Smith led off the seventh with her second hit, but Judge then struck out the side to end it.

FRANKFORT – As Lincoln-Way East boys volleyball coach Kris Fiore examined the stats after his team’s sectional semifinal victory over Minooka, some numbers jumped out at him.

And those were that everyone who he used in the front row had at least five kills while having a hitting percentage of at least .250.

Mix in a fine defensive effort in the final two sets, and you can see why the Griffins were able to rally for a 19-25, 25-17, 25-19 victory over the Indians on Friday.

East (33-5) moved a step closer to earning its second state trip in three years. The Griffins host Belleville West (23-14-1) on Tuesday at 6 p.m. in the sectional finals. The Maroons beat O’Fallon, 27-25, 27-25, on Friday in Edwardsville.

Fiore liked how setter Matt Breitbarth (41 assists) was able to spread around the attack between Ian Piet (12 kills), Jack Huizinga (nine kills, nine digs), Lucas Galifos (eight kills, three blocks), Jason Szara (five kills, two blocks) and Mike Herlihy (five kills, two blocks) while libero Eric Van Dyck (22 digs) consistently made great plays on defense.

“We started a little slow in game one and were a little rattled,” Fiore said.

“We struggled toward the end of that game with serve-receive and they were outplaying us at the net. But in games two and three, the tables turned. We passed a lot better and they started

shared a block. A bit later, kills by Huizinga, Galifos, Breitbarth and Piet put the hosts up 17-11 and the Indians got no closer than four points back after that.

“Coach tells us to always keep calm since it’s not good to get flustered,” Piet said. “So we brought it together as a team because we knew that we weren’t going home. We had our fans behind us, which was really awesome. We work really well as a team and everybody is really cool with each other. No one plays selfishly and we all get excited when someone gets a kill, so it’s definitely a really fun atmosphere.”

The Indians took an early 5-2 lead in the middle set, thanks to four kills from Brandon Baranski (17 kills). But East responded with a 12-4 run to take control and it led by at least four points during the rest of that game.

In the opener, Minooka used two blocks by Beaudin, another from Shane Chetney and two kills from Grant Ooms (seven kills) to grab a 10-6 lead. After a kill by Baranski made it 16-11, East rallied behind a kill and block from Galifos to pull to within 16-15. But the Indians scored the next four points and closed with another 4-0 run with Baranski getting two more kills.

“Our team is extremely talented and it’s nice how we all work together on every play and how we don’t give up,” Herlihy said. “We knew that we just had to pick each other up and once the crowd started getting into it, they couldn’t stop us after that. We have such good unity and the key for us has been coming in every day for practice and working hard.”

40 INDIANAPOLIS 500

Coyne quartet readies for 100th Indy 500

By TIM CRONIN Shaw Media correspondent

SPEEDWAY, Ind. – One word from driver Sebastian Bourdais summed up a century of the Indianapolis 500Mile Race.

Mystical.

He uttered it in the context of how one car from a team can be three mph faster than the others on a team on one day, and the opposite be true the next day.

“There are very unexplained things around this place, and I think that’s why it’s so mystical,” Bourdais said. “There are elements of uncertainty and legend around the race.”

The word applies in so many other ways. The 500 has always been a beacon to the daredevil in us, but attendance fell to under a quarter-million about 10 years ago before rebounding.

Sunday’s 100th edition is the first Indianapolis Motor Speedway officials have declared a complete sellout. Every seat was sold a fortnight ago. Infield general admission sales stopped Wednesday. Even with about 350,000 people expected – about one of every thousand people in the United States – and the live TV blackout of Indianapolis lifted for the first time since 1950, scalpers are having a field day.

The throng will gather to celebrate the past and revel in the present.

Thirty-three will strap into their Dallara chassis for the 200-lap grind. One will end up making history.

Four of those 33 are driving for Dale Coyne, the 61-year-old Plainfield resident who entered racing as a hobby and made it a business. Dale Coyne Racing, formed in 1984, is the third-oldest team in IndyCar, behind only those of A.J. Foyt (1965) and Roger Penske (1968).

Foyt and Penske are 500 legends as driver and car owner, respectively.

Coyne, who never cracked the top 10 as a driver in CART, has four IndyCar wins as an owner. His best 500 finish is fourth, with Alex Lloyd behind the wheel, in 2010.

Could Gabby Chaves (starting 21st), Conor Daly (24th), Pippa Mann (25th) or Bryan Clauson (28th) upset the Penske-Ganassi-Andretti troika and whisk Coyne into victory lane?

Much could depend on strategy.

Coyne is known for putting one of his two regular drivers on an alternate strategy on both road and oval courses, and this time, he has four chances.

Options include pitting early following a yellow flag and hoping for a long green-flag stint that would cycle

a driver to the front, or short-fueling to jump ahead of cars in the pits and hoping for another yellow where everyone pitted. But when to make the move is the question.

“Strategies evolve during a race,” Coyne said. “The feel of a race, the feel of your driver, the quality of your car at the beginning, the center and the end of your stint, your mileage.

You can plan all you want, but it really evolves in a race.

“There’s not as much strategy on an oval, because everybody pits on yellows, but you work your way back from the end of a race.”

In other words, the cards are played in the last 50 laps.

“There’s 10,000 pit stops in an Indy 500,” kidded Daly, who led 14 laps that way in the road course Grand Prix of Indianapolis in mid-May. “There’s plenty of opportunities. Basically, our plan is to race our way to the front. We can do that easier than on the road course. That’s what I’m looking for most.

“The overtaking – you might have one chance on a road course where on an oval you could every lap.”

Weather could change strategy. Coyne’s Honda downforce setup seems to be better in warm weather, and it could reach 87 degrees during the race. But if rain looms, the race could be a trophy dash.

“I’ve always thought Dale and his team cook up a pretty good strategy, and most of the time it goes well for him,” said Chaves, last year’s 500 rookie of the year. “Alternative strategies, you play those by ear. You keep your eyes open. If we can drive to the front, we’ll do that. If we can catch a lucky break and get to the front, we’ll do that too.”

Getting to the finish is the key.

“He’s done a great job over the years to make sure he’s a part of the conversation when it comes down to

money time,” said Clauson, a sprint car expert who’ll race the Kokomo Klassic after the 500 on Sunday night.

“Starting a little further back, we’ll look to different ways to get to the front to get an opportunity.”

Race engineer Michael Cannon has solidified the multi-car operation.

The four drivers get the best of each other’s set-ups. That’s how Mann, slow all month, ran laps at 225.833, fifth fastest, in Monday’s practice.

“It’s really been helpful in coming to a consensus for the cars,” said Mann, who crashed in Turn 4 in Friday’s final practice but will have the car repaired for the race.

In recent years, Penske and Chip Ganassi have had the most success.

That’s why the smart money is with defending champion Juan Pablo Montoya, three-time winner Helio Castroneves or fuel-saving expert Scott Dixon. But pole-sitter James Hinchcliffe, nearly killed here last year in an accident during practice, is on the pole, and Simon Pagenaud, in his second year with Penske, has won three straight races.

That makes for a competitive race.

Add in the century mark, and anticipation is high. Clauson, who grew up in the area, has felt it forever.

“It seemed like they made school 12 hours long in May, because I couldn’t wait to get to the track for the last couple of hours of practice,” Clauson said. “It’s special, and you don’t have to be from Indiana to know it.”

Which is why, today, race fans from across the world will be Hoosiers for a day.

BASEBALL: LEMONT 17, COAL CITY 0

By DICK GOSS dgoss@shawmedia.com

“I always knew we had this in us,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said.

“We’ve been struggling with the bat lately. But it’s easy to hit when everyone is hitting.”

Lemont, the No. 1 seed in its sub-sectional of the Lincoln-Way West Sectional, trailed Manteno, 3-2, in the fifth inning of the regional semifinal, finally moving ahead on a Wisz home run.

Acton, a .436 hitter entering Saturday, also homered in the semifinal. So after having one in the regular season, he now has three.

“It’s great that we’re getting some long balls,” said Acton, whose excitement was obvious when he rounded the bases after his three-run blast in the third. “That was a big moment. Our team needed this game.”

Acton (5-2) struck out five in his four innings on the mound. He walked four.

Madej retired the side in order in the fifth, the game ending on right fielder Christian Krakar’s sliding catch.

“Garrett has been Garrett all year,” Storako said of Acton. “Madej has pitched well. When he throws strikes, keeps it down and keeps hitters off balance, good things happen.”

Connolly, the Indians’ shortstop, made two good defensive plays on hardbat balls and started a 6-4-3 double play in the third inning.

Coal City also flashed some leather as shortstop Nick Micetich and center fielder Brad Littleton, who threw a two-hit shutout in a 1-0 win over Joliet Catholic in the semifinals, made excellent catches.

On this day, however, it was far too little to derail Lemont, which will face Morgan Park at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Lincoln-Way Sectional semifinals.

BASEBALL: PROVIDENCE 4, LOCKPORT 0

Creed, Providence blank Lockport in regional final

By DRAKE SKLEBA Shaw Media correspondent LOCKPORT – One step closer.

Two-time defending Class 4A state baseball champion Providence Catholic rode the three-hit pitching of Connor Creed, Tyler Zarembka and Matt Trzesnieski to a 4-0 victory Saturday over Lockport in the championship game of the Lockport Regional.

The Celtics, bidding for an unprecedented third straight state title, will head home to host Lincoln-Way East in the sectional semifinals at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Creed (6-2) and Lockport’s junior right-hander Ben Davis (5-3) were locked in a pitcher’s duel through 41⁄2 scoreless innings.

Providence senior catcher Jim Jeffries led off the bottom of the fifth with the first of two singles. Brendan O’Hara,

pinch-hitting for Colin Airola, walked.

Kevin Fitzgerald’s bunt was misplayed to load the bases. Jackson Stulas walked to drive in the first run.

Mike Stevens relieved and got Mike Madej to ground into a force at home.

Jackson Dvorak hit a double-play ball to shortstop Steve Salvino, but Anthony Cocco’s relay to first was off target, and Fitzgerald and Stulas scored to make it 3-0. Tom Kelley’s home run in the sixth added an insurance run.

“I was looking for a fastball on the 3-2 count, and it felt great to get all of it,” Kelley said. “I just returned to the lineup from injury and it felt good to contribute.”

Creed, who allowed one hit in five strong innings, struck out five and walked two.

“I just went out there and threw strikes,” he said. “The defense was out-

standing, and it feels great to win another regional.”

The Celtics’ defense was special. Left fielder Matt Waznis robbed Stephen Hill of extra bases, with a spectacular diving catch in the sixth. In the seventh, second baseman Madej, took a hit away from Josh Bentley. The game ended on a double-play ball.

“Connor (Creed) was outstanding,” Jefrries said. “Connor and I live in the Lockport school district. We made a pact not to lose this game. A number of the Porters are our friends and neighbors and we never would have been able to live it down if they ended our run.”

Lockport (21-15) closed another outstanding season under Satunas. The Porter future is bright with the return of seven starting position players and pitchers Davis and Ryan Gabriel.

“It was really tough saying goodbye,

to my seniors,” Lockport coach Andy Satunas said. “We misplayed a couple of balls that cost us this game. I was happy with our approach at the plate. We hit a number of balls hard and Providence made some fine plays to stop us. I am so proud of Ben Davis for his effort on the mound. With Ben and Ryan Gabriel back to anchor our pitching and seven position players back, I am really looking forward to 2017.”

“I was very concerned about this game,” Providence coach Mark Smith said. “Lockport is a very good team and I knew they would present a challenge. I am so proud of the way we played. Connor and our pitchers were outstanding.

Our defense made a number of great plays and it was special to end the game the way we did. Great teams await us in our sectional. This never gets old, winning another regional.”

AREA ROUNDUP

Geissler’s run in state tennis ends with consolation-quarterfinal loss SUBMITTED REPORTS ARLINGTON HEIGHTS – Jo liet Catholic Academy senior Jack Geissler completed a strong run in the Boys State Tennis Tournament as he won five of his first six matches before dropping a match Saturday in the consolation quarterfinals.

Geissler will continue his tennis career at Grand Valley State.

Plainfield Central’s DJ Colantone ended with a 4-2 mark, including

a loss to Geissler. Lockport sophomore Lucas Randall, who had won his first three matches, lost in the fourth round of the championship bracket and in the sixth round of consolation, finishing with a 3-2 record.

The other area singles player to advance past Thursday in the threeday event was Romeoville senior Miguel Rayos del Sol. He lost in the fourth round of consolation and finished 3-2.

WOMEN’S TRACK & FIELD

Cook wins: Lewis’ Amber Cook

became the second Flyer to win a national championship this year as she captured the triple jump title at the NCAA Division II Outdoor Track and Field Championships.

Cook won with a school-record jump of 42-3 1⁄ 2. Cierra Pulliam (Romeoville) earned her second All-America award with a personal-best jump of 41-21⁄2.

USF nets six All-American honors:

JOLIET – Coal City baseball coach Jerry McDowell described it the best way he could.

“We got hit by a bombshell,” he said Saturday after the Coalers fell to Lemont, 17-0, in a 41⁄2-inning championship game at the Class 3A Joliet Catholic Regional.

Indeed. The Indians (25-9) scored six runs in the bottom of the first inning, five in the second, four in the third and two in the fourth. Apparently they were wearing down as the game progressed.

As for the offense for Coal City (2311), little was happening. In fact, Lemont senior right-hander Garrett Acton and junior lefty Nate Madej combined on a no-hitter.

“This was a great day for our team,” said Acton, who also combined with

Madej on a no-hitter early in the season.

“Our bats came alive. It’s a great feeling when you’re on the mound and have all that hitting behind you. You never expect a no-hitter, but Nate and I had the stuff to do it.”

The Indians totaled 14 hits, and Acton was among those who would have relished a few more swings.

He finished 3 for 4 with six RBIs, including a three-run home run. Second baseman Angel Salinas, the No. 9 hitter, went 3 for 3, launched a two-run homer, and drove in five runs.

Nick Wisz was 4 for 4 with a triple and two RBIs. Leadoff man Dom Connolly had two solid singles in the six-run first inning.

“Our pitcher (starter and loser Jared Skubic) did not hit his spots early,” McDowell noted. “They dropped a couple in, and that opened the floodgates.”

CHICAGO – The roar from the crowd as he walked toward the mound for the ninth inning was one of the highlights for Kyle Hendricks.

The right-hander stayed focused even after the shutout disappeared.

Hendricks pitched a five-hitter for his second career complete game, Dexter Fowler hit a leadoff homer and the Chicago Cubs beat the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-1, on Saturday.

Hendricks (3-4) struck out seven and walked none. He was greeted with another round of cheers before the start of the ninth, but fell just short of his second career shutout.

Fowler sparked a two-run first against Jerad Eickhoff (2-7) with his sixth home run.

Royals score 7 in 9th to beat White Sox; Perez injured

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Brett Eibner, playing his second big league game, singled to cap the biggest ninth-inning comeback in Kansas City Royals history, a seven-run rally off David Robertson and Tommy Kahnle that lifted the World Series champions over the Chicago White Sox, 8-7, Saturday.

Kansas City’s Salvador Perez was injured in the ninth when third baseman Cheslor Cuthbert slid with a forearm and elbow into the left thigh of the All-Star catcher, who called off Chien-Ming Wang (3-0), settled under Adam Eaton’s foul popup about 30 feet from the plate near the third-base line and snagged the ball just before he was hit.

Held to six hits through eight innings, the Royals doubled their total in the 32-minute bottom of the ninth and overcame a six-run deficit for the first time since beating San Francisco on June 22, 2008. Chicago lost for the 13th time in 17 games.

Various media makers reach out to 3 Joliet veterans

By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Three local veterans are getting some media attention.

One is Raymond “DeVere” Johnson of Joliet. A documentary, “The Last Signal,” is being produced about his reunion with a former World War II shipmate.

The second is Joliet native Philip J. Harris, vice commander of the California state command of the National Association of Black Veterans Inc. Harris recently took part in a panel discussion about post-traumatic stress disorder in conjunction with Soledad O’Brien’s documentary “The War Comes Home: The New Battlefront.”

The third is Christos Dragatsis of Joliet, who tells his military history in a new book, “Heart of a Veteran.”

Raymond “DeVere” Johnson (left) of Joliet reminisces with his former shipmate John Heimsoth of Missouri in the documentary “The Last Signal.”

Raymond ‘DeVere’ Johnson

For Johnson, 92, the notoriety started when his daughter, Cheryl Brown of Joliet, posted a photo of him on Facebook holding a sign stating he was seeking his shipmates from World War II. “My dad had been telling me, ‘I’m the only one left,’ ” Brown said.

Johnson never shared his experiences or attended reunions, Brown said. The online photo caught the attention of Kyle Olson of Los Angeles, a filmmaker who works in television production.

In an email, Olson said he contacted the family about the possibility of shooting a documentary if Johnson did, indeed, locate any former shipmates. Weeks later, Olson said the family found a shipmate from Johnson’s ship, the LST-218, where Johnson had been a signalman.

In the early 2000s the other shipmate, John Heimsoth, 91, of Missouri, hosted what he thought was the last of LST-218 reunions. Heimsoth also believed he was the final surviving crew member, Olson said. Olson soon sent a film team to begin the project.

“History is lost when stories aren’t shared,” Olson said in an email. “Every few minutes, another WWII veteran dies, and with them, their stories.”

In October 2015, Johnson traveled to Missouri, without his wife, Ruth, 91, who was recovering from a broken back and insisted he still make the trip, Brown said. The couple celebrated their 70th anniversary May 25.

Philip J. Harris Joliet native Philip J. Harris, a vice commander of the National Association of Black Veterans Inc., was recently part of a panel discussion about post-traumatic stress syndrome in conjunction with Soledad O’Brien’s documentary “The War Comes Home.”

Christos Dragatsis According to information supplied by Jordan Holwell, Christos Dragatsis of Joliet served from 1951 to 1955.

He was a first lieutenant in the U.S. Army from 1953 until his discharge in 1955. He served in Korea from December 1952 to August 1954.

Olson called the filming of that reunion “magical.”

“I’ve been working in television for almost 10 years and I’ve never seen anything like it,” Olson said in the email. “The entire crew was emotional by the end of the day.”

Olson hopes to release “The Last Signal” on Veterans Day.

said.

In fact, many veterans, as well as the public, are unaware that NABVETS Inc. even exists to help veterans of color, Harris said. He hopes to establish a Joliet chapter soon.

“We don’t want anyone left out or left behind,” Harris said. “In the military, we don’t do that.”

Philip J. Harris

Christos Dragatsis

One of the reasons Harris participated in the panel discussion was to raise awareness of the gap in services that often occurs between the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs and minority veterans, Harris said.

The reasons for this gap include shortage of case workers and their inability to relate to particular veteran’s issues, and veterans not understanding how to navigate the system and giving up in frustration, Harris

Jordan Holwell, owner and licensed massage therapist at Higher Energy Massage Therapy in Naperville, was impressed with the stories her military veteran clients told her.

So Holwell compiled life stories written by 10 veterans – from those who served in World War II to today’s war on terrorism – for her book “Heart of a Veteran.” One story features Christos Dragatsis of Joliet, according to a news release.

Exercises help diminished balance Dear Dr K: I recently turned 70, and I realize my balance is not what it was.

For example, I won’t climb a ladder anymore. What can I do about it?

Dear reader: You’re right to be concerned. Aging makes our balance worse, and that increases our risk of falls – and fractured bones.

Why does our balance get worse with age? There are several reasons: • Inside our ears is a balance center called the vestibular system that detects where our body is in space. Are we upright or lying flat; are we standing on our feet or performing a handstand?

The vestibular system is connected to centers in the brain that also control our balance. When the vestibular system and brain determine we’re about to fall over, the brain directs the body to take corrective action.

Maybe we twist back upright so we don’t fall. Maybe we’re too far off center to avoid falling, so our arms and hands stretch out to brace our fall.

As we age, cells in the vestibular system die off. This affects how accurately we detect our position in space. That, in turn, affects our ability to correct our position. For example, if we start to tilt to the right and the vestibular system doesn’t detect this quickly, it becomes harder for the brain to prevent falling to the right.

• Our sight diminishes with age. We don’t see things as clearly. We have more problems with depth perception and night vision. The loss of these visual cues compromises balance. Corrective lenses or surgery may help.

• Blood pressure can dip suddenly when we stand up, causing dizziness, lightheadedness, blurry vision, even fainting. Standing up slowly – sitting

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff first on the side of the bed when you rise, for example – may help.

-- We lose muscle mass and strength as we age. We also lose power – a function of strength and speed – which affects balance. If you start to trip, power helps you react swiftly. Exercise can help you rebuild strength and power, or at least slow the pace of decline.

• Our reflexes and coordination slow with age. Thus, you may be more likely to stumble – and take more time to react when you do.

Many health problems can interfere with balance. They include, but are not limited to, arthritis, stroke, Parkinson’s disease and multiple sclerosis.

Medications also may increase the risk of falls. They can cause blurred vision, dizziness, lightheadedness and drowsiness. Some medications may damage the inner ear, spurring balance disorders.

Along with regular aerobic exercise and weight training, balance exercises are important as we get older.

You can do these exercises at home: you don’t need to go to a gym. The exercises really can help you improve your balance. I’ve posted some of these simple exercises before, but I think it’s worthwhile to highlight them again. You can find them on my website, AskDoctorK. com.

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

Man’s long fingernails are touchy subject for girlfriend Dear Abby: I am a 65-year-old widow and recently started dating a 66-yearold man. I really like him and enjoy his company. However, one thing about him drives me up a wall. He has long fingernails on both hands. He is neat and tidy and otherwise well-groomed.

I am quite sure he is not a coke user (which some have suggested could be the reason).

He has told me his hobby is guitar playing, but for that I’d think he would only need a few long nails. I feel I don’t know him well enough to ask why he keeps them so long or tell him how much this creeps me out. How would you suggest I bring this up to him? – Dianne in Wisconsin Dear Dianne: The gentleman’s hobby may be guitar playing, but for him to form the chords he strums, his nails on one hand would have to be short.

Her parents’ marriage broke apart, and one of them left and has made a new life with a new can’t think of a nice way to tell somefamily. It’s possible she’s afraid you one his nails “creep you out.” However, have “replaced her” in that parent’s I don’t think it would be out of line to affections. That’s a pretty painful ask why he wears his nails as long as thought, and she may blame you even he does, and let him explain it to you. though it is not your fault.

Dear Abby: Ever since my bratty stepTalk privately to your parents about sister came into the picture, I feel like I this. Ask them if they can reassure get less attention than her. Just because her so she won’t take her hurt feelings her parents are not together doesn’t out on you. And one more thing: Stop mean she’s so much more special than yelling. Yelling only escalates the situame that it’s OK for her to be mean to me tion; it doesn’t solve anything. without getting in trouble.

Dear Abby: Millions of dollars (and When I yell at her and tell her to stop, tons of food) are wasted when restaushe hisses at me like a cat and throws a rants serve poor quality food or it fit and says she wants to go home.

Ceramic/porcelain tile serves as the flooring in the kitchen, basement rec room, mudroom, laundry and foyer.

The table space by the kitchen offers hardwood flooring. All three bedrooms are conveniently located on the main floor, including the master suite with bath, as well as the laundry.

Really?

Did you know that of cancers affecting both men and women, colorectal cancer is the second leading cancer killer? But this is one cancer you can prevent. Get screened!

Screening tests help find polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer.

So, if you’re 50 or older, do everything you can to prevent colorectal cancer. Screening really does save lives!

John Scalzi, a former president of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America, said, “I tell people the first time I decided to write a novel ... I basically flipped a coin to see if I was going to write science fiction or if I was going to do a crime novel.”

Sounds a tad unlikely, doesn’t it? Similarly at the bridge table, you might be faced with a decision that seems to be no better than a coin toss, but usually there is a clue as to why you should choose heads rather than tails, or vice versa.

Look at the West hand in today’s diagram. Should he lead the diamond eight (heads) or club eight (tails) against six hearts?

In the auction, South was right to open two clubs with 10 winners, despite only 19 points. I also strongly approve of North’s two-spade response, showing at least a five-card suit and eight or more points, to tell partner that it is a slam deal. “Two diamonds waiting” is overused.

When this deal was originally played, West led the diamond eight.

South won, drew trumps using honors from his hand, and drove out the spade ace while dummy still had the heart ace as an entry.

West commented that he was thinking about leading the spade ace, but that would not have been a good idea given North’s response.

West should have selected the club eight because East did not make a lead-directing double of North’s five-diamond Blackwood response, which he would have done with a good diamond holding.

Occasionally, you should be guided by what partner didn’t do.
