Memorial Day is one of those holidays where I never quite know how to feel. It’s a day off, the unofficial start to summer, and seems to be the time for some of the greatest sale prices of the year.

But Memorial Day is intended to remember fallen soldiers, and I’ve never felt a barbecue or getting a great deal was the best way to honor those people.

Our local communities do a fitting job at paying tribute to members of the military; we saw plenty of services and parades on Memorial Day. And at least one local community is considering going back to the day’s roots when it comes to remembering those who gave all.

Lockport hasn’t had a parade for a while now, Steven Streit said. When he became mayor three years ago, he spoke to local veterans who talked about how tough it is to get parades organized as veterans age – and especially how discouraging it was for them to put in effort for an event and only a few dozen people would show up.

VIEWS Kate Schott

Lack of interest may be due to the parade that is a few weeks later during Old Canal Days, or that people may travel elsewhere.

“I’ve been racking my brains for past few years, how do we integrate Memorial Day into our city that may ... keep people here or get people involved,” he said.

Lockport – with a moniker of “City of Historic Pride” – takes its history seriously, Streit noted.

It’s not just the personal history, he said, like the names everyone knows.

The city has state and national significance too as the headquarters for the I & M Canal and is considered one of the best-preserved canal sites in existence.

Memorial Day blossomed from Decoration Day, which was a grassroots

movement of families and widows to decorate the graves of soldiers who died during the Civil War. Streit is hoping there is enough interest in the idea of resuming Decoration Day in Lockport, where residents would meet in cemeteries, get maps of veterans and put flowers on their graves. There are veterans in local cemeteries all the way back to the War of 1812, he said.

“It’s really about a somber time,” he said. “Maybe that is more appropriate than a parade.”

Those willing to be part of a Memorial Day Committee to work toward that goal are asked to contact Jodi Herman at JHerman@lockport.org.

JJC moving ahead with construction projects

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Substantial work is being completed for major building projects at Joliet Junior College, with some projects ahead of schedule.

JJC staff and contractors working for the college are moving along on work for the City Center campus building and Renaissance Center in downtown Joliet, as well as the expansion to the Romeoville campus and the JJC Events Center.

The work done with the JJC Events Center – previously known as the Multipurpose Facility – is within budget and ahead of schedule, Richard Lyman, JJC construction and facility planning manager, said at last week’s Buildings and Grounds Board Committee meeting.

“Our mild winter really put us ahead,” he said.

The JJC Events Center, a two-level building at the main campus, will have athletic competition space, an indoor track, conditioning space and athletic staff offices.

The building had its groundbreaking last August and substantial completion of its construction is slated for April 2017, according to a presentation at last week’s committee meeting.

Some of the work that has been completed include structural steel, concrete stoops, metal decking and interior masonry walls. Roof work and the sprinkler system is being installed.

Interior work is still being completed for City Center building first, second, third, fourth, fifth and six floors. The work that is in progress includes overhead plumbing, wall framing, ceramic tile in restrooms and painting.

JJC staff is also at work renovating the Renaissance Center. Lyman said to trustees the project is within budget and has three phases of substantial completion, slated for November,

Shaw Media file photo

A groundbreaking was held Aug. 25 for JJC Events Center, formerly known as Multipurpose Facility.

March 2017 and July 2017, respectively.

He said phase one will involve work everywhere at the Renaissance Center except for the men’s bathroom, which will be turned into a bathroom for men and women in phase two.

Phase three is demolition of the hotel at the center. The JJC Board of Trustees approved in March having third-party management for the center but have not decided which company.

The Romeoville campus expansion is ahead of schedule, Lyman said. Like the JJC Events Center, substantial completion of the expansion is slated for April 2017.

The campus expansion had its groundbreaking last September. JJC officials said the campus is being expanded to accommodate growing student enrollment, which they said at the time of the groundbreaking has grown 45 percent within the past 10 years.

He said steel decking for the roof and floors for the expansion is complete, as well as parking lot stone and curb work. Crews are working on other projects, such as metal stud framing at interior walls and roofing work.

Costumed characters continue to delight visitors at Star Wars Day

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Not even a gray, overcast sky and light rain could dampen the enthusiasm of Star Wars fans who crowded downtown Joliet on Saturday to celebrate the nearly 40-year-old science fiction adventure saga.

The seventh annual Star Wars Day attracted fans of all shapes and sizes, from those dressed as Wookies, Tusken Raiders and Stormtroopers to one fan who played Palpatine running for emperor.

“I’ve seen [Star Wars] grow from a subculture into pretty much almost basically pop culture,” said Jeremy Elkins, a lightsaber choreographer and teacher who is a member of The Dark Empire and other ‘Star Wars’ groups. “When I see this kind of stuff, it warms my heart because it actually allows me to come a little bit out of my shell.”

Elkins said he wished other cities would follow suit with their own variation of Joliet’s Star Wars Day. Star Wars Day is organized by the Joliet Public Library to promote reading.

The event also exposes visitors to downtown Joliet and its businesses, as well as the Joliet Area Historical Museum, where a lightsaber demonstration was held.

U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, took part in that demonstration and briefly traded blows with another opponent with his own lightsaber.

“Although I have not yet been promoted to the Galactic Senate, it is my honor to represent this area as part of the 11th Congressional District [of Illinois],” he told visitors.

One of the main spectacles of Star Wars Day is the costumes. Members of costume clubs, such as the 501st Legion and Sandtroopers, were there to take photos with families in front of the downtown library after the parade.

All costumed characters marched in a parade that began at the museum and ended at the library, where a band performed music from the movies.

Josh Smith, of Pekin, came to the event for the first time and he was dressed as a scout trooper.

He said he liked seeing the variations on Stormtroopers – one was dressed as a Blackhawks Stormtroop-

er – and other characters.

“There’s one guy out here that did a Darth Vader concept. … If you look at the original drawings that the artist Ralph McQuarrie had done, there’s this one where it looks a little bit more like samurai,” Smith said.

“It’s just neat to see what people’s imagination can bring to the table.”

He said Star Wars Day was “a little bit overwhelming,” but in a good way.

“I pictured lots of people, but I couldn’t have fathomed how many people,” he said.

The Joliet Public Library counted

10,000 people for Star Wars Day last year – the biggest attendance yet – and said attendance has grown every year.

Denise Zielinski, the library’s community engagement officer, has

‘REALLY FULL OF LIFE’ Friends, family gather to remember Abigail and Eder Arroyo

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com WILMINGTON – When family and friends of Abigail and Eder Arroyo who gathered Friday to remember the children described them, one word was repeated again and again.

Happy.

“They were really full of life, still,” said their cousin, Gerson Adame.

Abigail, 13, and Eder, 12, both of Joliet, drowned Memorial Day evening in the Kankakee River near the dam in Wilmington.

Those who loved them came together Friday evening at the site to honor their memory.

Their pastor, Enrique Guzman, of Iglesia de Cristo: Casa de Oracion, recalled through the translation of his daughter, Maria Perez, how Abigail and Eder used to throw open the glass doors of the Joliet church and run in late, racing.

Guzman said he always saw them coming from the pulpit. Even if their mother couldn’t make it to church because of work, the two would call for a ride or walk.

“They were always there,” Perez said.

Abigail

As those present Friday described Abigail, they told the story of a young girl who was thoughtful and caring.

She wanted to be a nurse, said her older brother, Irwin Lopez, who organized Friday’s gathering. The incoming Gompers Junior High School eighth-grader Abigail was already excited for her Quinceañera. She Arroyo wanted to get a summer job to save up for the 15th birthday party that is also a rite of passage.

“Abigail was all about school, trying to be a better person, church,” said her cousin, Christopher Larios.

Laura Lopez recalled how her daughter, Sarah Lopez, had spoken fondly of Abigail, a friend from the Gompers choir program.

Laura added that Sarah has autism, and as part of the disorder, only talks about people who are special to her.

Abigail entered the waters Monday after Eder fell in. She died trying to save him.

Marissa Picon tosses a white rose Friday into the Kankakee River during a memorial service for Abigail and Eder Arroyo at South Island Park in Wilmington.

Eder

Irwin said his little brother loved video games, dancing – especially the Nae Nae – and sports.

“He schooled me in basketball,” Irwin said of Eder, who was to start seventh-grade at Thompson Instructional Center in the fall and whose body was found Wednesday morning, about 3.5 miles Eder Arroyo downstream from the dam and more than a day after Abigail had been pulled from the waters.

Two years ago, Larios said, Eder came along to watch Larios play in a club soccer championship game.

When Larios’ team won, Eder was so excited that he ran out onto the field.

He wasn’t allowed, but he didn’t care.

land Park, drifting in and out in the late afternoon heat. Some brought coolers and drinks, some sat in folding chairs under the trees.

In many ways it was like any picnic at the park – but quieter.

Most of those in attendance wore white.

A cloud of balloons was released into the sky above the dam, and a small group sang together in Spanish – some crying, some clapping in time, all remembering Abigail and Eder.

Honoring their memory On the river’s shore, Irwin; his fiPeople gathered Friday at South Is- ancée, Veronica Montoya; and a few

others stood, looking out at the dam.

On the rocks above it and further up the shore, fishermen cast their lines.

“I wanted to show them that we’re here,” Irwin said of his siblings.

Numerous people have drowned at the dam, local officials have said.

Irwin said he would like a plaque to be erected in remembrance of the victims.

Although there are signs near the dam warning of its dangers, Irwin also wants to see preventative measures installed to keep passers-by away.

“I want their death to be the last ones that happen here,” he said.

Visitation is scheduled for Abigail and Eder from 5 to 9 p.m. Sunday and 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. Monday at Delgado Funeral Chapel, 400 Landau Ave., Joliet.

A graveside service will take place 11 to 11:30 a.m. Monday at Mt. Olivet Cemetery, 1320 E. Cass St., Joliet.

Outside companies see ways to make money at the Rialto

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Management companies that made presentations last week to the Rialto Square Theatre board indicated there are better ways to run the theater.

No one openly criticized the way the theater has been managed in the past, but representatives from both VenuWorks and Onesti Entertainment told the Rialto board how they would likely do things differently.

The closest thing to criticism came when Ron Onesti mentioned that he did know former Rialto General Manager Randy Green just from being in the same business.

“From an industry standpoint, there was not a lot going on [at the Rialto],” Onesti said.

Onesti, who runs the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, told the board that he could bring the Rialto the type of activity seen at the Arcada, which stages more than 200 shows a year.

“The big thing about the Arcada being successful is not that we have big shows there,” he said. “It’s the volume

of shows. And, it’s Mayberry. It’s not in downtown Chicago.”

The next general manager or management company will have to show that it not only can bring in the shows but make money for the Rialto while still paying the entertainers and covering other costs.

“You have a lovely facility,” Russ Ferguson, vice president of food and beverage for VenuWorks, told the Rialto board at one point. “I see a lot of opportunities to generate a lot of revenue.”

Rialto Board Chairman Dan Vera made clear at the Wednesday’s meeting, when Onesti and several representatives from VenuWorks made their presentations, that the board has not made a decision on whether it will contract with a management company.

Vera also is in the process of interviewing general manager candidates, although it’s conceivable that the Rialto could hire a general manager who would then work for a management company that runs the theater.

The company manages historic theaters, including the Victory Theatre in Evansville, Indiana, as well as modern arenas like the US Cellular Coliseum in Bloomington.

Peterson said the theater would be able to offer block booking and networking opportunities for programming at the Rialto.

He also suggested the company could reach a younger audience through its digital marketing services.

“We have a full-time analytic specialist,” Peters said. “She knows how to reach those people who are looking at screens and wear earbuds. They’re not listening to Top 40 radio.”

VenuWorks came with Jeff Kossow, who offered to step into that role.

“I would be offering my services as your interim person,” said Kossow, who is executive director at Cullen Performance Hall at the University of Houston, where VenuWorks also manages the university baseball stadium. Cullen Performance Hall is closed for renovations, Kossow said, and he is available until it reopens.

The Rialto board, however, does not appear to close too making a decision.

The board at some point also expects to get a presentation from SMG, a Pennsylvania-based company that manages theaters, stadiums, convention centers and other facilities in the United States, Canada and Europe.

Hurrah’s Entertainment also may appear before the board, although it is not clear that the casino company wants to manage the Rialto.

VenuWorks, based in Ames, Iowa, manages 50 venues in 12 states, and President Steven Peters discussed some of the expertise and synergies that the company could bring to the Rialto.

PLAINFIELD – U.S. Rep. Randy Hultgren, R-Plano, held Friday afternoon a question-and-answer session with constituents of the 14th Congressional District at Plainfield Fire Protection District headquarters.

While most feedback was positive and based on requests that Hultgren said he was happy to support or look in to, the congressman was part of a five-plus minute back-and-forth with a man who disagreed with several of Hultgren’s votes.

The man questioned Hultgren as to why he voted in favor of the National Defense Authorization Act, why he supported people being imprisoned at Guantanamo Bay without trial and why he supported $600 billion being spent this year on the military during “peace time.”

The man said America isn’t at war because war had not been declared, to which several other constituents responded that America is indeed at war.

Hultgren said the Pentagon does

short. Hultgren was unclear as to the man’s specific point.

Before that discussion, constituent Roger Bonuchi asked that Hultgren and Congress support E-Rate, which provides discounted telecommunications, internet access and internal connections to eligible schools and libraries, funded by the Universal Service Fund.

“Particularly with Illinois’ state budget situation,” Bonuchi said after the meeting.

He pointed out The Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers testing is required by state law to be a computer test.

“It’s not so much about learning technology, it’s about using technology for learning,” Bonuchi said.

12 Police: Coal City drug dealer gets

arrested with 6 bags of heroin

By KATE SCHOTT

kschott@shawmedia.com BRAIDWOOD – Authorities say they recovered six bags of heroin from a Coal City man arrested Thursday on several drug charges.

Daniel Pogliano, 31, of the 3900 block of North Will Road in unincorporated Grundy County near Coal City, was arrested Thursday after a months-long investigaDaniel tion by Braidwood police and the Drug Enforce- Pogliano ment Administration.

Will County sheriff’s police also assisted on the arrest, which took place in the 3900 block of North Will Road.

Braidwood Police Chief Nick Ficarello said the investigation with the DEA started earlier this year. He noted that Pogliano was out on bond for three separate Class 2 felony charges of manufacturing and delivery of heroin out of Livingston County.

Pogliano has been charged in Will County with possession with intent to deliver of a controlled substance, a Class 1 felony, and delivery of a con-

Braidwood police chief trolled substance, a Class 2 felony. He was taken to the Will County Jail; his bond information was not immediately available Friday afternoon, according to online records for the jail and Will County Circuit Clerk.

Braidwood has taken an aggressive approach to getting drugs out of the city.

From April 30, 2015, through May 1, 2016, there have been 27 hard drug arrests, Ficarello said. From those arrests, police have confiscated 740 bags of heroin and 1.6 grams of crystal meth.

“We’re addressing the problem. we’re taking a progressive, proactive role in trying to clean up the area,” he said. “The partnership with DEA is really working. It’s working out exceptionally well.”

R-Morris “Clearly, it’s not the ideal budget, but we’ll fund all services and make sure the schools will open this fall,” Rezin said.

School officials in the western portion of Rezin’s district, which extends into LaSalle County, are talking about the possibility of not opening if the state money does not come through.

Rezin blames House Speaker Michael Madigan, D-Chicago, for the ongoing budget impasse, however, and blames him for the failure to pass even a short-term spending plan to ensure education funding.

“Speaker Madigan is the one per-

State Rep. Larry Walsh Jr., D-Elwood, blames Rauner, noting the governor rejected a short-term plan before putting out his own at the last hour on May 31, the last day of the regular legislative session.

“The games that are being played are comState Rep. pletely and utterly disLarry Walsh Jr. gusting,” Walsh said.

“He [Rauner] changed D-Elwood his mind, which has been a recurring event since he took office.”

Even so, legislators think at least a short-term budget will be passed to ensure funding through the next November elections.

lege students would be left short on Monetary Assistance Program (MAP) grants that were not fully funded in 2016, McGuire said.

But McGuire, too, believes some funding measure will be approved.

“Everyone wants schools to open on time,” he said. “We’ve been told by the Senate president [John Cullerton] to be ready to come State Sen. down to Springfield Jennifer when a budget agreeBertino-Tarrant ment is reached.”

D-Shorewood “We are very adamant about ensuring that our schools open on time,” said state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood.

She noted that the Senate did pass an alternative education budget, but “it did not go anywhere in the House.”

Impact on business

Aside from schools, college students, and social service agencies, the ongoing budget stalemate also is hurting Illinois business, said state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield.

Batinick said when he ran for office he called Illinois property taxes and the state’s workman’s compensation program the No. 1 impediments to economic growth.

“There’s a new No. 1.

That’s instability,” he said.

John Greuling, chief executive officer of the Will County Center for Economic Development, said many of the companies that locate in Will County need to be in the area to be close to their workforce or supply chains.

“The concern we have is the companies that are no longer looking in Illinois and, therefore, Will County because of the information they have about the dire straits the state government is in,” Greuling said. “It’s hard to track that.”

It’s business as usual in Springfield, and that ain’t good.

The state budget standoff could become a game of chicken with Illinois parents and schoolchildren if Gov. Bruce Rauner and the Legislature go much longer without approving money for education.

Conventional wisdom is that something will be done to approve another stopgap measure to fund schools, universities and social services even if there is no budget.

But when the Legislature adjourned last week without approving any kind of a budget, it created new worries for any agency or local government that depends on state government.

“We’ve got 28,000 children that we’re responsible for come Aug. 17, and we’re waiting,” Plainfield School District 202 Spokesman Tom Hernandez said.

Like other school districts, Plainfield is waiting to find out if the state is going to fund education on time.

The district gets 27.4 percent of its operating revenue from state aid, Hernandez said.

Plainfield can turn to reserve funds if state money does not come through.

But it only has enough savings to cover operations for 30 to 60 days, he said.

“It’s not a lot of money,” Hernandez said. “Like everybody else, this is a real issue for us.”

Meanwhile, area legislators suggest the state will ensure that schools get their money, although they also seem uncertain as to how the funding will happen.

CASA children’s garden planting underway in Joliet

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – There will soon be a garden next to the CASA. Planting began Friday for a children’s garden outside the offices of the Court Appointed Special Advocates of Will County at the River Valley Juvenile Justice Center. CASA volunteers advocate for abused and neglected children in the court system.

“We wanted to provide a peaceful respite for kids waiting on court decisions. Kids have had to just sit there in the staff offices,” said Nancy Kuhajda, a University of Illinois Extension Master Gardener who coordinated the project.

CASA Director Rita Facchina said it can be stressful for children who may be taken from their families. The garden, which was proposed about a year ago, can provide a calm setting.

The 30-by-30-foot plot on the west side of the building is being built completely with donations from Will County landscapers and will be maintained by master gardener volunteers and grounds staff, Kuhajda said.

Designed by Nina Koziol, the plants will grow to a child-friendly height.

“We wanted to provide a peaceful respite for kids waiting on court decisions.

Kids have had to just sit there in the staff offices.”

University of Illinois Extension master gardener “They’re very colorful. They’ll attract butterflies and hummingbirds.

They’re easy care, and they’re safe to be touched all over,” Kuhajda said.

The garden also will have a portable sandbox, hopscotch markings, stumps that can be climbed on or used to play tic-tac-toe, five hidden garden gnomes and a miniature “fairy garden.”

The garden path was initially planned with crushed gravel, but a grant from the Rotary Club of Joliet will allow for play-friendly pavers to be put in, Kuhajda said.

A large sail-cloth hanging over the top will offer some shade and protection from the elements.

JOLIET – The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the federal Department of Veterans Affairs is awarding nearly $1.3 million to help 155 homeless veterans in Illinois find a permanent place to call home, including more than $50,000 to Joliet.

The Joliet Housing Authority received $50,460 for the Hines VA Medical Center/Joliet Clinic, according to a news release from HUD. The rental assistance is provided through the HUD-Veterans Affairs Supportive Housing Program, which combines rental assistance from HUD with case management and clinical services provided by VA. “Supporting the brave men and women who served our nation is not only our honor but also our responsibility,” Secretary Julián Castro said in the news release. “Joining the more than 111,000 formerly homeless veterans who have already found homes through this successful program, thousands more brave veterans will be able to start a new chapter in their lives. It’s a privilege to partner with communities dedicated to ensuring

that no veteran has to call the streets their home.”

HUD Midwest Regional Administrator Antonio R. Riley noted that many Americans who served struggle to readjust to life after military service.

“These vouchers will help veterans in Illinois build for the future rather than be relegated to the shadows of our society because they’re going through hard times,” he said in the news release. “We look forward to working with our partners to support veterans to make sure they have a place to call home in the country they sought to protect.”

The program assesses veterans experiencing homelessness before referring them to local housing agencies for these vouchers. Decisions are based on a variety of factors, most importantly the duration of homelessness and the need for longer term, more intensive support in obtaining and maintaining permanent housing.

The program includes both the rental assistance the voucher provides and the comprehensive case management that VAMC staff offers, according to the news release.

Ex-Bolingbrook cop’s pension revoked over murder-for-hire The ASSOCIATED PRESS

BOLINGBROOK – A suburban Chicago police pension board has revoked the pension of former police officer Drew Peterson.

The Bolingbrook Police Pension Board voted unanimously Wednesday to end former Bolingbrook officer Drew Peterson’s $79,000-a-year Peterson pension.

Peterson’s attorneys say his oldest son uses the pension money to support Peterson’s two children with his fourth wife, Stacy Peterson, who disappeared in 2007.

The Chicago Sun-Times reports a final ruling from the pension board is pending. Peterson can appeal the board’s decision in civil court.

The Sun-Times also reported that pension expert Charles Atwell told the

board that Peterson’s pension could be revoked since his murder conviction was related to his duties as a police officer.

The decision to revoke the pension came a day after Peterson was convicted in a murder-for-hire case in southern Illinois. He was found guilty of trying to hire someone to kill Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow, the prosecutor who helped convict him in the death of his third wife, Kathleen Savio.

Savio’s death was initially deemed accidental. Glasgow reopened the case after the 2007 disappearance of Stacy Peterson, Peterson’s 23-year-old fourth wife. Peterson was never charged in her disappearance but told the informant he worried that Glasgow would eventually do so.

Prosecutors say Peterson believed that with Glasgow dead, he could win an appeal of his conviction in Savio’s death.

One of the drivers was taken to Morris Hospital and the other was taken to Riverside Medical Center in Kankakee, Palmer said. Both suffered minor injuries.

A ticket was issued to the at-fault driver, but Palmer was unable to provide specifics about the type of ticket nor the driver’s identity.

There were no closures because of the crash, nor were there any passengers involved, Palmer said.

Fundraiser kicks off Brown Bag Friday series on courthouse lawn

By ROB OESTERLE

roesterle@shawmedia.com MORRIS – It was a day for reigning champions to show their stuff, and for challengers to try to knock them off their respective perches.

The annual hot dog eating contest that kicks off the Brown Bag Friday series on the Grundy County Courthouse lawn took place Friday, along with the fundraising competition that goes with it. The event was hosted by Grundy County National Bank and WCSJ Radio.

After an hour of drumming up funds among the large crowd and listening to entertainment provided by Jerry Beier, nine contestants competed to see who could down the most hot dogs — bun and all — in two minutes.

Morris soccer coach David Valdivia, who was raising money for the Morris Soccer Boosters Club, and the YMCA’s Ian Stewart, competing for the Morris YMCA, each finished four hot dogs.

That resulted in an eat-off for the title. Valdivia won by an eyelash and retained the title he won last year.

“I had a little different strategy this year,” Valdivia said. “Last year, I tried to eat a lot the week before and get my stomach bigger. This year, I didn’t eat breakfast this morning and came hungry.”

Stewart was happy to be a part of the contest.

“There’s no losers here,” he said. “It doesn’t matter if I ate one hot dog or 100.

The important thing is that we were all raising money for good causes, and a lot of good people came out here and donated. That’s what today was all about.”

Also competing were Kevin Brown of Brown Bear Painting, eating for Habitat for Humanity; Nancy Bjelland and therapy dog Ginger of Morris Hospital, eating for Morris Hospital Foundation; Eric Fisher of We Care, eating for We Care; Heidi Litchfield of Shaw Media, eating for the Grundy County Farm Bureau; Frank Mata of Grundy County Bank, eating for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties; Justin Ritz, who raised money for Just Animals Shelter; and Christina Van Yperen of the Grundy County Chamber of Commerce, eating for the United Way. After the contest started, Litchfield and Van Yperen switched to a plate of cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon (the food all originated from Grundy County).

When it came to the fundraising competition, Van Yperen ran her winning streak to at least five years by collecting $1,643, with Brown taking second place with $1,556 and Ritz in third with $1,236. The $250 donation by Grundy Bank to the winner gave Van Yperen a total of $1,893. The total donations for the day came to $7,666.39 after Grundy County National Bank threw in an extra $500.

“An event like this is good because it raises awareness throughout the county about these organizations and they can get more donations and have more people utilize their services,” Van Yperen said.

Community comes together for coach with brain cancer

By ALLISON SELK

IF YOU GO

Shaw Media Correspondent MINOOKA – As a successful high school athlete, Minooka native Mark Smith knew what it took to come out on top.

And it’s with that determination, Smith, now 28, will fight the hardest battle of his young life – stage 4 brain cancer.

More than 500 people from the community gathered Thursday at The Village Christian Church in Minooka for a prayer vigil to lift up Smith; his wife Jess; and daughters, Cora Rae, 3, and Livia Grace, 1 month.

“In this moment and place we find ourselves, God is weeping with us. I don’t know his master plan through all of this, but he has the power and authority over this situation,” worship pastor Jared Baker said.

Pastors Nate Ferguson, Baker and Pastor Nick Sandeno each read excerpts of the Bible to offer comfort and understanding to what Mark and his family will endure during this battle.

Selections were read from Luke 11, Matthew 8, Exodus 13 and Philippians 1, and after the readings the congregation was encouraged to pray for a specific need. During the vigil, church elders were at the hospital to anoint Smith with oils and pray over him.

Smith taught geology and coached track and field at Minooka Community High School, the same place he graduated from in 2005. According to family friend Candace Baker, in January of this year, Smith experienced severe headaches.

Tests at Morris Hospital showed what was thought to be a benign tumor on his brain.

He made trips to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, where an operation was deemed too risky, so doctors wanted to monitor any progress. In May, Smith was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer, and cells had spread to his spine.

The Village Christian Church worship pastor Jared Baker leads the congregation Thursday in song at a prayer vigil for Minooka Community High School teacher and coach Mark Smith who has been diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer.

“Mark has decided to do chemotherapy and radiation and fight the best he can.

If he didn’t the prognosis was grim,” Jess said. “The first day we found out, I asked him if he was sad and he said yes. But every day after he knows this is what he has to do and take it.”

MCHS track and field coach and friend Nick Lundin said he; his wife, Jill; staff and students wanted to help support

the Smith family in every way possible.

Lundin created a SmithStrong Facebook page where all fundraisers are posted. Lundin had T-shirts and bracelets made, and a dinner and 5K are in the works. Jess Smith said the community has come out in incredible ways with meals, financial support and prayers.

“What we need right now is for people to keep praying for Mark.”

• STAR WARS DAY

Continued from page 3 said the number of costumed characters keeps rising because “people keep hearing about it.”

Elkins said costumed club members “don’t make a dime doing this.”

“We do this because we love this, we do it for the smiles and we do it for the charities,” he said.

Saturday attracted more than fans and families – but artists and authors, such as John Jackson Miller, who wrote “Star Wars: A New Dawn,” and James Tampa, who has worked for Marvel, DC, Topps and Dark Horse comics.

The artists and authors present were available on the second floor of the library, where hosts held a live

show from Rebel Force Radio and WGN Radio. One topic the hosts discussed was the ongoing controversy over the Lucas Museum in Chicago.

Many first-time attendees came to Star Wars Days on Saturday.

Monica Shaw, along with her husband, Jonathan, and their daughter, all from Joliet, were there for the first time and enjoyed the music and costumed characters.

“It’s really nice. It’s pretty amazing,” Monica Shaw said.

Manhattan resident Erin Collins and her family also were at Star Wars Days for the first time, and Collins said they definitely would come out to it again next year. She said her family enjoyed the parade and meeting the characters.

“It’s good for families. It’s really nice,” she said.

Lincoln-Way District 210 receives 9 applications after Casey resigns LINCOLN-WAY BOARD APPLICANTS

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – Lincoln-Way District 210 netted nine applications from those interested in serving on the Board of Education after a second seat became vacant in late May. Candidates have been applying for seats on the board after the resignations of Kathleen Casey and Arvid Johnson, whom resigned May 24 and April 28, respectively. The board has yet to select members to take their places.

One applicant for Johnson’s seat has dropped out, after news of a federal investigation into Lincoln-Way and increasing public scrutiny of district officials.

The Lincoln-Way board approved the closing of North last year to resolve its financial issues, a decision that has been met with criticism and outrage from residents.

An email sent Saturday morning to board President Dee Molinare was not immediately returned.

The nine applicants who applied after Casey resigned are: Josh Bloodgood,

Josh Bloodgood John Bryk James Castrogiovanni Micheal Everett Deborah Kedzior Edgar Montalvo Darrell Wierzal Michael Faber Lauren Rentfro John Bryk, James Castrogiovanni, Micheal Everett, Deborah Kedzior, Edgar Montalvo, Darrell Wierzal, Michael Faber and Lauren Rentfro, according to applications obtained by Shaw Media through a Freedom of Information Act request.

Four of them are from New Lenox, two from Mokena, two from Tinley Park and one from Frankfort.

Two applicants – Kedzior and Montalvo – applied for vacancies after board President Kevin Molloy and board member Christopher McFadden resigned in January.

Illini Legal Services (Formerly Best Price Legal Services)

Applicants who have held elected office include Everett, a former Mokena mayor and trustee; Kedzior, a former New Lenox District 122 board member; and Montalvo, a former Frankfort Square Park District commissioner.

Bryk works for Orland District 135 as an assistant superintendent of human resources and operations and was previously the chief school business official at Minooka Community High School.

Castrogiovanni was on the school board for St. George School in Tinley Park from 2007 until 2010 and then again in 2012. He’s the executive vice president for the Lincoln-Way North Athletic Boosters board.

Wierzal has been a high school teacher for 23 years and taught at Lake Central High School in St. John, Indiana. Faber is a deacon at Grace Bible Church in Minooka.

Rentfro listed in her application that she has devoted time to New Lenox as a church and police department volunteer. Bloodgood said he has worked for the New Lenox Township Family Services Commission.

LOCAL BRIEF New Lenox gets accreditation from Safe Communities America

NEW LENOX – New Lenox has received re-accreditation as a Safe Community – one of just 17 communities in the U.S. with this distinction, given by the National Safety Council.

New Lenox initially was accredited in 2010 through the Council’s Safe Communities America program after evaluating community members’ efforts to use proven, data-driven programs to save lives and prevent injuries, according to a news release.

Since 2010, New Lenox has focused efforts on older adult falls, safe disposal of prescription drugs and emergency preparedness.

New Lenox is the only accredited Safe Community in Illinois, according to the news release. The town has had consistent and sustained collaboration among stakeholders, which has driven much of its success. Community leaders will begin focusing on suicide prevention in addition to continuing efforts around other leading causes of preventable death.

Mitsunori Chigita – AP file photo

Spray flies from the head of challenger Joe Frazier as heavyweight champion Muhammad Ali connects with a right in the ninth round of their title fight in 1975 in Manila, Philippines. nated sports for two decades before time and Parkinson’s disease, triggered by thousands of blows to the head, ravaged his magnificent body, muted his majestic voice and ended his storied career in 1981.

He won and defended the heavyweight championship in epic fights in exotic locations, spoke loudly on behalf of blacks, and famously refused to be drafted into the Army during the Vietnam War because of his Muslim beliefs.

Despite his debilitating illness, he traveled the world to rapturous receptions even after his once-bellowing voice was quieted and he was left to communicate with a wink or a weak smile.

“He was the greatest fighter of all time but his boxing career is secondary to his contribution to the world,” promoter Bob Arum told the AP early Saturday. “He’s the most transforming figure of my time certainly.”

Revered by millions worldwide and reviled by millions more, Ali cut quite

a figure, 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds in his prime. “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” his cornermen exhorted, and he did just that in a way no heavyweight had ever fought before.

He fought in three different decades, finished with a record of 56-5 with 37 knockouts – 26 of those bouts promoted

by Arum – and was the first man to win heavyweight titles three times.

He whipped the fearsome Sonny Liston twice, toppled the mighty George Foreman with the rope-a-dope in Zaire, and nearly fought to the death with Joe Frazier in the Philippines. Through it all, he was trailed by a colorful entourage who merely added to his growing legend.

“Rumble, young man, rumble,” cornerman Bundini Brown would yell to him.

And rumble Ali did. He fought anyone who meant anything and made millions of dollars with his lightning-quick jab. His fights were so memorable that

He was fast of fist and foot – lip, too – a heavyweight champion who promised to shock the world and did. He floated.

He stung. Mostly he thrilled, even after the punches had taken their toll and his voice barely rose above a whisper.

He was The Greatest.

Muhammad Ali died Friday at age 74, according to a spokesman for his family. He was hospitalized in the Phoenix area with respiratory problems earlier this week, and his children had flown in from around the country. Family spokesman Bob Gunnell said Ali, who had Parkinson’s disease, died of septic shock. While it’s not clear exactly what transpired with Ali, people with latestage Parkinson’s often have difficulty swallowing. Food and liquid landing in the lungs can lead to pneumonia or a chest infection that could cause sepsis, a bloodstream infection.

“It’s a sad day for life, man. I loved Muhammad Ali, he was my friend. Ali will never die,” Don King, who promoted some of Ali’s biggest fights, told The Associated Press early Saturday. “Like Martin Luther King his spirit will live on, he stood for the world.”

A funeral will be held in his hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. The city held a memorial service Saturday.

One of Ali’s daughters described her father’s last moments in an Instagram post, saying his heart wouldn’t stop beating for 30 minutes after all of his other organs failed. Hana Ali said the family was surrounding her father, hugging and kissing him, holding his hands and chanting an Islamic prayer, while his heart kept beating as his other organs gave out. “No one had even seen anything like it. A true testament to the strength of his Spirit and Will!” she wrote.

With a wit as sharp as the punches he used to “whup” opponents, Ali domi-

they had names – “Rumble in the Jungle” and “Thrilla in Manila.”

But it was as much his antics – and his mouth – outside the ring that transformed the man born Cassius Clay into a household name as Muhammad Ali. “I am the greatest,” Ali thundered again and again. Few would disagree.

Ali spurned white America when he joined the Black Muslims and changed his name.

He defied the draft at the height of the Vietnam War – “I ain’t got no quarrel with them Viet Cong” – and lost 31⁄2 years from the prime of his career.

He entertained world leaders, once telling Philippines President Ferdinand Marcos: “I saw your wife. You’re not as dumb as you look.”

He later embarked on a second career as a missionary for Islam.

“Boxing was my field mission, the first part of my life,” he said in 1990, adding with typical braggadocio, “I will be the greatest evangelist ever.”

Ali couldn’t fulfill that goal because Parkinson’s robbed him of his speech.

It took such a toll on his body that the sight of him in his later years – trembling, his face frozen, the man who invented the Ali Shuffle now barely able to walk – shocked and saddened those who remembered him in his prime.

“People naturally are going to be sad to see the effects of his disease,” Hana Ali said when he turned 65. “But if they could really see him in the calm of his everyday life, they would not be sorry for him. He’s at complete peace, and he’s here learning a greater lesson.”

The quiet of Ali’s later life was in contrast to the roar of a career that had breathtaking highs along with terrible lows. He exploded on the public scene with a series of nationally televised fights that gave the public an exciting new champion, and he entertained millions as he sparred verbally with the

OBITUARIES • MUHAMMAD ALI

Continued from page 27 likes of bombastic sportscaster Howard Cosell.

Ali once calculated he had taken 29,000 punches to the head and made $57 million in his pro career, but the effect of the punches lingered long after most of the money was gone. That didn’t stop him from traveling tirelessly to promote Islam, meet with world leaders and champion legislation dubbed the Muhammad Ali Boxing Reform Act. While slowed in recent years, he still managed to make numerous appearances, including a trip to the 2012 London Olympics.

Despised by some for his outspoken beliefs and refusal to serve in the U.S. Army in the 1960s, an aging Ali became a poignant figure whose mere presence at a sporting event would draw long standing ovations.

With his hands trembling so uncontrollably that the world held its breath, he lit the Olympic torch for the 1996 Atlanta Games in a performance as riveting as some of his fights.

A few years after that, he sat mute in a committee room in Washington, his mere presence enough to persuade lawmakers to pass the boxing reform bill that bore his name.

Members of his inner circle weren’t surprised. They had long known Ali as a humanitarian who once wouldn’t think twice about getting in his car and driving hours to visit a terminally ill child. They saw him as a man who seemed to like everyone he met – even his archrival Frazier.

“I consider myself one of the luckiest guys in the world just to call him my friend,” former business manager Gene Kilroy said. “If I was to die today and go to heaven it would be a step down. My heaven was being with Ali.” One of his biggest opponents would later become a big fan, too. On the eve of the 35th anniversary of their “Rumble in the Jungle,” Foreman paid tribute to the man who so famously stopped him in the eighth round of their 1974 heavyweight title fight, the first ever held in Africa.

“I don’t call him the best boxer of all time, but he’s the greatest human being

Muhammad Ali smiling during a 1995 visit to New York.

I ever met,” Foreman said. “To this day he’s the most exciting person I ever met in my life.”

Born Cassius Marcellus Clay on Jan. 17, 1942, in Louisville, Kentucky, Ali began boxing at age 12 after his new bicycle was stolen and he vowed to policeman Joe Martin that he would “whup” the person who took it.

He was only 89 pounds at the time, but Martin began training him at his boxing gym, the beginning of a six-year amateur career that ended with the light heavyweight Olympic gold medal in 1960.

Ali had already encountered racism.

On boxing trips, he and his amateur teammates would have to stay in the car while Martin bought them hamburgers.

When he returned to Louisville with his gold medal, the Chamber of Commerce presented him a citation but said it didn’t have time to co-sponsor a dinner.

In his autobiography, “The Greatest,” Ali wrote that he tossed the medal into the Ohio River after a fight with a white motorcycle gang, which started when he and a friend were refused service at a Louisville restaurant.

The story may be apocryphal, and Ali later told friends he simply misplaced the medal. Regardless, he had made his point.

After he beat Liston to win the heavyweight title in 1964, Ali shocked the boxing world by announcing he was a member of the Black Muslims – the Nation of Islam – and was rejecting his “slave name.”

As a Baptist youth he spent much of his time outside the ring reading the Bible. From now on, he would be known as Muhammad Ali and his book of choice would be the Quran. Ali’s affiliation with the Nation of Islam outraged and disturbed many white Americans, but it was his refusal to be inducted into the Army that angered them most.

That happened on April 28, 1967, a month after he knocked out Zora Folley in the seventh round at Madison Square Garden in New York for his eighth title defense.

He was convicted of draft evasion, stripped of his title and banned from boxing. Ali appealed the conviction on grounds he was a Muslim minister. He married 17-year-old Belinda Boyd, the

second of his four wives, a month after his conviction, and had four children with her. He had two more with his third wife, Veronica Porsche, and he and his fourth wife, Lonnie Williams, adopted a son.

During his banishment, Ali spoke at colleges and briefly appeared in a Broadway musical called “Big Time Buck White.” Still facing a prison term, he was allowed to resume boxing three years later, and he came back to stop Jerry Quarry in three rounds on Oct. 26, 1970, in Atlanta despite efforts by Georgia Gov. Lester Maddox to block the bout.

He was still facing a possible prison sentence when he fought Frazier for the first time on March 8, 1971, in what was labeled “The Fight of the Century.”

A few months later the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the conviction on an 8-0 vote.

“I’ve done my celebrating already,” Ali said after being informed of the decision. “I said a prayer to Allah.”

Many in boxing believe Ali was never the same fighter after his lengthy layoff, even though he won the heavyweight championship two more times and fought for another decade.

Perhaps his most memorable fight was the “Rumble in the Jungle,” when he upset a brooding Foreman to become heavyweight champion once again at age 32. Many worried that Ali could be seriously hurt by the powerful Foreman, who had knocked Frazier down six times in a second round TKO. But while his peak fighting days may have been over, he was still in fine form verbally. He promoted the fight relentlessly, as only he could.

“You think the world was shocked when Nixon resigned,” he said. “Wait till I whup George Foreman’s behind.”

Ali won over a country before he won the fight, mingling with people as he trained and displaying the kind of playful charm the rest of the world had already seen. On the plane into the former Congo he asked what the citizens of Zaire disliked most. He was told it was Belgians because they had once colonized the country.

“George Foreman is a Belgian,” Ali cried out to the huge crowd that greeted

fighters would wear told Ali they would be held in a prison for safekeeping before the fight.

“My gloves are going to jail,” shouted a wide-eyed Ali. “They ain’t done nothing – yet!”

Ali would go on to lose the title to Leon Spinks, then come back to win it a third time on Sept. 15, 1978, when he scored a decision over Spinks in a rematch before 70,000 people at the Superdome in New Orleans.

Ali retired, only to come back and try to win the title for a fourth time against Larry Holmes on Oct. 2, 1980, at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. Ali grew a mustache, pronounced himself “Dark Gable” and got down to a svelte 2171⁄2 pounds to beat Father Time. But Holmes, his former sparring partner, mercifully toyed with him until Dundee refused to let Ali answer the bell for the 11th round.

“He was like a little baby after the first round,” Holmes said. “I was throwing punches and missing just for the hell of it. I kept saying, ‘Ali, why are you taking this?’

“He said, ‘Shut up and fight, I’m going to knock you out.’”

When the fight was over, Holmes and his wife went upstairs to pay their respects to Ali. In a darkened room, Holmes told Ali that he loved him.

“Then why did you whip my ass like that?” Ali replied.

A few years later, Ali said he would not have fought Holmes if he didn’t think he could have won.

“If I had known Holmes was going to whip me and damage my brain, I would not have fought him,” Ali said. “But losing to Holmes and being sick are not important in God’s world.”

It was that world that Ali retreated to, fighting just once more, losing a 10-round decision to Trevor Berbick in the Bahamas.

With his fourth wife, Lonnie, at his side, Ali traveled the world for Islam and other causes. In 1990, he went to Iraq on his own initiative to meet with Saddam Hussein and returned to the United States with 15 Americans who had been held hostage.

One of the hostages recounted meeting Ali in Thomas Hauser’s 1990 biography “Muhammad Ali – His Life and Times.”

“I’ve always known that Muhammad Ali was a super sportsman; but during those hours that we were together, inside that enormous body I saw an angel,” hostage Harry Brill-Edwards said.

For his part, Ali didn’t complain about the price he had paid in the ring.

“What I suffered physically was worth what I’ve accomplished in life,” he said in 1984. “A man who is not courageous enough to take risks will never accomplish anything in life.”

him at the airport. By the time the fight finally went off in the early morning hours of Oct. 30, 1974, Zaire was his.

“Ali booma-ya (Ali kill him),” many of the 60,000 fans screamed as the fight began in Kinshasa.

Ali pulled out a huge upset to win the heavyweight title for a second time, allowing Foreman to punch himself out. He used what he would later call the “rope-a-dope” strategy – something even trainer Angelo Dundee knew nothing about.

Finally, he knocked out an exhausted Foreman in the eighth round, touching off wild celebrations among his African fans.

“I told you I was the greatest,” Ali said.

That might have been argued by followers of Joe Louis or Rocky Marciano or Sugar Ray Robinson, but there was no doubt that Ali was just what boxing needed in the early 1960s. He spouted poetry and brash predictions. After the sullen and frightening Liston, he was a fresh and entertaining face in a sport that struggled for respectability.

At the weigh-in before his Feb. 25, 1964, fight with Liston, Ali carried on so much that some observers thought he was scared stiff and suggested the fight in Miami Beach be called off.

“The crowd did not dream when they lay down their money that they would see a total eclipse of the Sonny,” Ali said.

Ali went on to punch Liston’s face lumpy and became champion for the first time when Liston quit on his stool after the sixth round.

“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee,” became Ali’s rallying cry.

His talent for talking earned him the nickname “The Louisville Lip,” but he had a new name of his own in mind: Muhammad Ali. “I don’t have to be what you want me to be,” he told reporters the morning after beating Liston. “I’m free to be who I want.”

Frazier refused to call Ali by his new name, insisting he was still Cassius Clay. So did Ernie Terrell in their Feb. 6, 1967, fight, a mistake he would come to regret through 15 long rounds.

“What’s my name?” Ali demanded as he repeatedly punched Terrell in the face. “What’s my name?”

By the time Ali was able to return to the ring after his forced layoff, he was bigger than ever. Soon he was in the ring for his first of three epic fights against Frazier, with each fighter guaranteed $2.5 million.

Before the fight, Ali called Frazier an “Uncle Tom” and said he was “too ugly to be the champ.” His gamesmanship could have a cruel edge, especially when it was directed toward Frazier.

In the first fight, though, Frazier had the upper hand. He relentlessly wore Ali down, flooring him with a crushing left hook in the 15th round and winning a decision.

It was the first defeat for Ali, but the boxing world had not seen the last of him and Frazier in the ring. Ali won a second fight, and then came the “Thrilla in Manila” on Oct. 1, 1975, in the Philippines, a brutal bout that Ali said afterward was “the closest thing to dying” he had experienced.

Ali won that third fight but took a terrific beating from the relentless Frazier before trainer Eddie Futch kept Frazier from answering the bell for the 15th round.

“They told me Joe Frazier was through,” Ali told Frazier at one point during the fight.

“They lied,” Frazier said, before hitting Ali with a left hook.

The fight – which most in boxing agree was Ali’s last great performance – was part of a 16-month period on the mid-1970s when Ali took his show on the road, fighting Foreman in Zaire, Frazier in the Philippines, Joe Bugner in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Jean Pierre Coopman in Puerto Rico.

The world got a taste of Ali in splendid form with both his fists and his mouth.

Beyond California, Sanders signals post-primary future

By KEN THOMAS

The Associated Press LOS ANGELES – With the primary season near its end, a defiant Bernie Sanders declared Saturday that the Democratic presidential process should not be decided by party leaders and elected officials, predicting a contested summer convention against rival Hillary Clinton.

Speaking to reporters three days before the California primary, Sanders showed few signs of surrender, vowing to take his bid to the Philadelphia convention in July. He urged news organizations not to anoint Clinton as the presumptive nominee through a combination of pledged delegates and superdelegates.

“It is extremely unlikely that Secretary Clinton will have the requisite number of pledged delegates to claim victory on Tuesday night,” Sanders said. “Now I have heard reports that Secretary Clinton has said it’s all going to be over on Tuesday night. I have reports that the media, after the New Jersey results come in, are going to declare that it is all over. That simply is not accurate.”

Sanders said by the end of the primaries June 14 neither candidate would have enough pledged delegates to declare victory and would be dependent upon superdelegates to reach the magic number. “In other words, the Democratic National Convention will be a contested convention,” he said.

Clinton currently leads Sanders among pledged delegates by a count of 1,769 to 1,501, an edge of 268 pledged delegates. An Associated Press count of superdelegates shows Clinton leading 547 to 46. Clinton is currently 67 delegates short of clinching the nomination through the combination of the two and is poised to cross that threshold in the coming days.

Sanders wants Democrats

AP photo

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders speaks Wednesday during a campaign rally at the Cubberley Community Center in Palo Alto, Calif. to break with tradition. In 2008, then-Illinois Sen. Barack Obama clinched the nomination against Clinton through a mix of both types of delegates. And superdelegates historically have backed the candidate who wins the most delegates from primaries and caucuses, a threshold Clinton is likely to cross this week.

“It is a deeply flawed process,” Sanders said Saturday, “and whether I win this nomination or I do not win this nomination, I will do everything I can to change it.”

The Vermont senator is seeking a victory in California, New Jersey and four other contests Tuesday. A win in the Golden State, where polls show a tight contest, would be an embarrassment for Clinton and embolden Sanders to aggressively lobby superdelegates to switch their support to him, arguing he’s the best candidate to take on presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Clinton has begun forcefully attacking Trump on national security and his overall temperament for the White House and has largely looked past Sanders, hitting hard at the GOP real estate mogul. She told supporters Friday that “if all goes well, I will have the great honor as of Tuesday to be the Democratic nominee for president.”

Sanders is expected to return to his Vermont home Wednesday, and advisers say he intends to ramp up his courtship of the party’s superdelegates, a process that is already underway, pointing to polls showing him faring better than Clinton in head-tohead matchups with Trump.

He will compete in the District of Columbia primary June 14, the final contest. Beyond that, Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver said they are considering whether Sanders might appear at more rallies around the country after the primaries and speak in Chicago at a gathering of Sanders activists June 17-19.

But a loss in California, the nation’s most populous state, would undercut his case against Clinton.

“Once the numbers come in, I think we can begin a serious discussion among ourselves about what the right path for us is,” said Tad Devine, Sanders’ senior adviser. He added: “If he wins California and a lot of states, he’ll want to make a closing argument to the superdelegates.”

Sanders is pushing for his policy views to be included in the party’s platform and wants the party to become more inclusive of independent and working-class voters.

Activist asks Brazil’s interim president to pay for cleanup

By JENNY BARCHFIELD The Associated Press

RIO DE JANEIRO – A leading Brazilian biologist who has fought for the cleanup of Rio de Janeiro’s polluted waterways called Saturday on interim President Michael Temer to release emergency funds to pay for the dredging of toxic lagoons hugging the Olympic Park.

About $184 million was earmarked for the project years ago but it was held up and has yet to begin.

Biologist Mario Moscatelli made the call during a seaside protest attended by surfers, sailors, rowers and other Rio residents.

Moscatelli is the most visible face of the fight to clean up the Olympic city’s waterways, which are polluted by human sewage. He also asked for a 10-minute meeting to discuss the release of the funds with Temer, who he said is the last hope for making good on long-postponed promises to clean up Rio’s waters before the Summer Olympics in August.

Rio is among the states hardest hit by the recession that’s slamming Brazil, and the funds for the project have dried up, Moscatelli said.

“It’s one more Olympic project that looks like it won’t become reality,” said Moscatelli, speaking in front on aerial photos showing massive brown sewage stains on Barra Beach. “If this project doesn’t happen before the games, it will never happen.”

Water pollution has become a hot-button issue leading up to Rio’s Aug. 5-21 Olympics. A massive cleanup was billed as one of the major legacy projects of the games, but an ongoing study commissioned by The Associated Press has shown the waterways where the Olympic rowers and sailors will compete are filled with illness-causing viruses and bacteria.

Rio’s mayor recently blasted the state for its failure to make good on the promises, calling it a “national shame.”

David Zee, an oceanography professor at Rio’s state university who attended Saturday’s protest, said the failure to dredge the Jacarepaga and Barra lagoons around the Olympic Park could prove catastrophic during the Games.

The high sewage levels fill the lagoons with sulfuric gas that is released during windy, agitated conditions, enveloping the area in a noxious smell that can harm people’s health.

Dear Mr. Berko: Several of my wellread colleagues (we’re all engineers) believe the Department of Labor wants to merge private individual retirement accounts and 401(k) accounts with our Social Security program to cover the huge shortfall. What are your thoughts on this?

And please settle a bet between me and my wife, who can be a know-it-all.

Does the stock market do better under a Republican president or a Democratic president? – GS, Santa Barbara,

Calif.

Dear GS: Good luck!

If we go back 71 years, to 1945, the obvious answer is that the market does much better under a Democratic president than it does under a Republican president. If you were keeping tabs during the past three score and 11 years (Standard & Poor’s was), the market gained nearly 50 percent more under a Democratic president than under a Republican president. Though, to some voters, this is heretical and offensive.

Sam Stovall, chairman of the S&P Investment Policy Committee, says the Democrats are way ahead of the game. Stovall, who joined S&P in 1989, notes that since 1945, the average annual S&P gain under a Republican

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko presidential term has been 6.7 percent.

The average annual S&P gain under a Democratic president has been 9.7 percent. That’s almost 50 percent better. According to the estimable Stovall, the only two presidents with negative average annual returns (both Republicans) during their office terms were Richard Nixon (minus 5.1 percent) and George Bush the Younger (minus 4.6 percent). That’s the Gospel according to Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner and Beane.

I don’t know how the Department of Labor got into the investment business, but this may be a precursor to eventual government control of our retirement accounts. Pension plans hold the largest source of investment capital in the world. So recently, the three-member White House Council of Economic Advisers, an agency within the Executive Office of the President, unilaterally decided that biased investment advice drains $17 billion yearly from retirement accounts (that number was pulled from a dark place)

in excessive fees and commissions. So those economic advisers, along with the DOL, fabricated a silly patchwork of regulations they think will improve investors’ returns. But there won’t be a merger of private retirement accounts with Social Security.

You may be thinking of the Left Coast, where most progressive legislation commences. Last March, the California Legislature had the green light to “auto-enroll” workers in IRAs and 401(k) accounts. This new retirement money will mitigate the $150 billion shortfall in the California Public Employees’ Retirement System, which has been poorly managed by idiots and cretins.

Now it appears Treasury Secretary Jack Lew (a closet socialist) and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (an out-of-the-closet socialist) will get their way. Citing mismanagement, excessive commissions and conflicting advice (all too true), they want to push Americans out of private investment accounts and into state-run plans, a good chunk of which would be invested in safe government bonds producing low returns. According to The Pew Charitable Trusts, staterun retirement systems have more than $1 trillion in unfunded liabilities, while other estimates are as high as

$4.7 trillion. So for states such as Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Florida and California, with massive unfunded pension liabilities, this political solution to an economic problem is a Golconda. And as new IRAs and 401(k) accounts roll into Sacramento, the legislatures will be slavering.

Because the California Legislature is almost as crooked as the Florida Legislature, that new money eventually will find its way into their pockets.

America’s underfunded state retirement plans are a ticking time bomb, and states across the nation are facing a crisis of major proportions.

Alaska is $4 billion short. Colorado is $23 billion short. Kansas is $9 billion short. Louisiana is $18.5 billion short.

And Florida and California are in worse shape. This is where Jack Lew, Elizabeth Warren and the White House Council of (Three) Economic Advisers screwed the pooch. Misfeasance and malfeasance of state-run plans is a more serious problem than the stinky advice given to private IRA and 401(k) investors.

Neighboring companies champion Midewin prairie restoration SUBMITTED REPORT WILMINGTON – Four companies with a local presence in Will County were recognized Thursday as “Prairie Champions” for supporting ecological restoration work at the U.S. Forest Service’s Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie in Wilmington through both employee volunteering and corporate donations.

The Wetlands Initiative, a nonprofit partner at Midewin, recognized The Dow Chemical Company, Ecolab, Harrah’s Joliet, and Waste Management.

Prairie Champions have contributed at least two years of employee volunteer service at TWI’s current Midewin restoration site, known as Lobelia Meadows, and $1,000 or more in donations to the Lobelia Meadows Restoration Project in the past year.

After the recognition event, employees of all four companies planted native seedlings at Lobelia Meadows as part of TWI’s annual Corporate Volunteer Day. The Wetlands Initiative, which is

“Community investment in Lobelia Meadows has been crucial to getting this work done,” said Paul Botts, TWI’s president and executive director. “We’re grateful to the local companies for stepping up their support as neighbors of Midewin, both with their hands and funds. It reflects their commitment to environmental sustainability and improving this important and unique natural treasure for the public.”

Midewin National Tallgrass Prairie, named after a Potawatomi Native American word for “Grand Healing Society,” was designated as the nation’s first National Tallgrass Prairie in 1996.

OUR VIEW

All or nothing on state budget Some school officials in Illinois are saying that they hope to get money from Springfield before the upcoming school year begins – but unless it’s as part of an overall budget, it’s better if they don’t get any state aid.

If they don’t get any state aid, it’s better if they keep the doors closed.

Families of schoolchildren around the state just might need to be inconvenienced by Illinois’ budget crisis in a way that affects their day-to-day lives if there is to be an end to this standoff.

So far, nothing has been able to generate enough public pressure to force some kind of deal. Deadlines, public scorn, a highest-in-the-nation unemployment rate, fiscal ruin – none of this has been enough to make our state’s lawmakers do their jobs.

Illinois has had no budget for almost an entire year. In discussions on the floor at the State House of Representatives last weekend, lawmakers from the two parties often seemed to just talk past each other – when they weren’t attacking one another.

Republicans like Rep. Bob Pritchard of Hinckley point out that things are falling apart and there has to be compromise, and minutes later, Democratic Rep. Mary Flowers (in the Legislature since 1985, probably not a fan of term limits) gets up and says negotiating doesn’t mean closing day care centers on babies and that Republicans are simply protecting corporations in Illinois.

Note to Rep. Flowers – Illinois is tied for the highest unemployment rate in the country, and joblessness has grown three months in a row. Corporations don’t really like us all that much these days.

But the unemployment rate isn’t enough to force a deal.

When seniors, women and children who depend on state government-funded agencies for help lost access to services, it wasn’t enough.

When our state’s public universities were weakened to the point of closing their doors – and then offered a pittance in state aid as a “stopgap” – it wasn’t enough.

When the state’s backlog of unpaid bills once again approached $7 billion, and was projected to reach $10 billion by the end of June, that wasn’t enough.

But if hundreds of thousands of schoolchildren are sitting home sending Snapchats to each other in mid-September, something will have to happen.

In fact, just the thought of this happening might be enough to force a compromise. People would suddenly be acutely aware just how much the state government has failed everyone it is supposed to serve over the past year.

So this summer, no stopgaps. No partial funding bills. Make it all or nothing.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR DOC head stresses need for state budget

To the Editor: Despite the lack of a balanced state budget, the Illinois Department of Corrections has done its best to weather the storm, but we are now on the precipice of real issues that could lead to lasting consequences.

Reports the majority party may not take substantive action on a balanced budget and reforms until after the election means it is essential they pass a fully-funded, sixmonth stop gap budget to ensure operations continue.

Without a budget, DOC will be hard-pressed to continue with critical reforms that improve operations and outcomes, increase safety, and enhance programs aimed at helping offenders be successful once they return to communities across this state.

Furthermore, we will be severely challenged to meet our legal obligation to provide constitutionally adequate care to the men and women in our custody who have been diagnosed with mental illness.

Lack of a balanced budget or stop-gap will impact the department’s ability to feed offenders, keep the lights on, the water running, and fulfill other day-to-day duties.

Our vendors, including many mom-and-pop businesses that provide food supplies, fire equipment examination services, building repair parts and maintenance services, depend on our payments. These local businesses will continue to suffer without payment and will eventually have to pull their services. That could cripple the department in a matter of days.

Our staff works tirelessly each and every day to protect

the people of Illinois and keep our prisons safe. They deserve the peace of mind that comes with knowing they will be compensated for their work.

This reckless lack of action must end. I am asking state Rep. Emily McAsey, D-Lockport, and state Sen. Pat Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, to stand up to their leaders in the Legislature and pass a balanced budget with reforms that will help the overall financial health of our state.

However, if they continue to refuse to work with the governor, they must pass a paid-for, short-term budget that will keep our prisons open and help us pay our bills.

Our corrections system depends on it.

John Baldwin

Director of the Illinois Department of Corrections

Mautino should step aside

To the Editor: Dear Auditor General Mautino: It has now been over four months since you promised to provide the General Assembly detailed clarification of the accounting and spending practices of your campaign fund, The committee for Frank J. Mautino. Almost one month ago, we sent you another letter demanding immediate answers to this reasonable request. As of today (June 2), we’ve still not received a single document from you, much less a straightforward and thorough explanation of the many apparent irregularities in your campaign account.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

• Continued on page 35

• Continued from page 34 While you have not responded to this inquiry from the General Assembly, you recently confirmed for the media that you are under federal investigation for the activities of your campaign fund.

The people of our state are tired of the many corruption scandals they’ve had to endure in recent years. Illinoisans trust and rely upon the Auditor General to prevent these sorts of scandals in state government. And for decades, the Auditor General’s Office has successfully upheld the highest standards of ethics and impartiality in auditing the many agencies and funds that compromise our Illinois government.

We wrote you previously that “each day that passes without a full explanation of the irregularities in your own campaign account further erodes the public trust in you and your leadership, and risks and indelible black mark on the office of the Auditor General.” Those words ring even truer today, because the Auditor General’s Office now operates under the cloud of a federal invitation.

VIEWS Donna Brazile because they would tend to deter competitors.

As he does every time, Trump worked to shift the public’s attention.

He took the focus away from the newspaper that uncovered Watergate, and put it on Bezos. The media generally just reported Trump’s counter-charge, minus the truth.Trump did the same thing after it came out that he had not paid veterans’ charities money he owed them nearly six months after holding the fundraising event.That’s a valid point. Did Trump really raise $6 million? If he did, why was it taking so long to write the checks? Does he keep his promises? The Associated Press, in a herculean effort of digging, discovered Trump sent a dozen checks out on May 24, the same day that the Post interviewed Trump on the subject.

“Most of the money went out quite a while ago,” Trump perjured himself at the news conference. Instead, checks went out when the Post nailed Trump on it.

He then spent the bulk of his press conference attacking the media, calling one reporter, “sleazy,” and political reporters in general “dishonest.” Trump discredits the free press for even daring to question him.

Trump rubs out his opponents

Even apart form the scandal – and your refusal over the past four months to answer the reasonable requests of the General Assembly – there is no practical way you can competently govern and administer the Auditor General’s Office, while simultaneously defending yourself against federal criminal charges, a state Election Board investigation and whatever other legal problems you may face going forward.

For the sake of the people of Illinois, we demand that you step aside and take an unpaid leave of absence from the Auditor General’s Office, until the various federal and state invitations into your past financial conduct are concluded.

Illinoisans deserve clean government.

They deserve audits they can trust. With an Auditor General now laboring under the weight of state and federal investigations, they have no guarantee of either.

Please give us your immediate assurance that you will step aside until these investigations are resolved.

Speaking of that, when he learned Hillary Clinton was to make a major speech about his ignorance of national security issues, Trump preemptively attacked her. He mocked her 2008 commercial about a 3 a.m. phone call, saying she slept through the call. The reality is that Clinton, as secretary of state, got more than her share of urgent, national security phone calls – and acted on them.

“She lies,” Trump said. That’s Trump’s stock defense when the truth catches up to him – to call the messenger a liar or disgusting. Trump attempts to turn attention away from his being untrustworthy by saying Clinton is the one who is lying.

A fair amount of Trump’s business success comes from leasing his brand name. But his own product, Trump University, appears to be a failure.

Lawsuits were filed against Trump for defrauding students, some of whom drained retirement accounts to pay fees close to $35,000. CBS reported that one sales technique (which Trump approved) was specifically aimed at parents who didn’t have enough money to feed their children.

Underground Contractors Association on infrastructure

To the Editor: One of Illinois’ strongest assets is its infrastructure. From providing safe drinking water and clean sanitary and storm water to keeping our economy moving through our roads, bridges, aviation and mass transit, our infrastructure literally carries our state to success.

During Infrastructure Week in late May, the Underground Contractors Association strongly supported the theme of “Infrastructure Matters.” We see the signs all around us.

The American Society of Civil Engineers, Illinois Section (ASCE) gave an overall grade of C- in 2014 for infrastructure: a D+ for roads, transit and wastewater, drinking water at a C- and navigable waterways a D-. The drinking water disaster in Flint, Michigan, and similar concerns in Galesburg, shows why we need to pay

were brought three years ago by the attorney general for New York, long before Trump announced his campaign for president.

So what did Trump do? He pulled out his poison arrow and aimed it at a judge who has taken on dangerous Mexican drug lords and who ordered the court’s records on Trump University released for public scrutiny.

“The judge has been very unfair.

He’s not done a good job. He’s very unfair,” Trump said with his index finger raised, as it always is when attacking.

In another conference, Trump went on for 12 minutes, mentioning that the white Hispanic judge, who was born in Indiana, “is Mexican,” and “a hater.”

Now Trump attacks an independent judiciary, attempting to dismantle its effectiveness, a bulwark of our form of government, for his personal court gain. Attacking the attacker, avoiding accountability and slip-sliding past answering probing questions are Trump’s only stock in trade.

Smearing, assailing, denigrating or simply assassinating his opponents’ honesty or looks or gender, or height or ethnicity – this alone has paved Trump’s path to the GOP nomination.

But is it the path to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue?

for infrastructure improvements regularly over time to prevent calamity.

How? The SRF, a federal-state, longterm, low-interest loan program for funding safe drinking water and clean water, needs a return to funding highs of the early 1980s. The state’s motor fuel tax has been 19 cents per gallon since 1991, and needs to be raised after 25 years of stagnation. The billions of dollars of state road funds diverted to other purposes must stop, and there will be a constitutional amendment on the ballot this fall where you can help make that happen.

Infrastructure is the lifeblood of our economy because it creates and supports jobs, provides opportunity and keeps us competitive in an increasingly global economy. Poll after poll shows we’re willing to pay more for safe water and transportation infrastructure. Public health and safety shouldn’t be compromised.

Contact your legislators and urge them to make infrastructure investment a priority in Illinois.

Like most Americans watching the endless reality TV presidential campaign of Donald Trump, I’ve discovered the secret to Trump’s success on the campaign stump. It has nothing to do at all with sterling qualifications, superior grasp of national security issues or stunning displays of logic. If he has those things, he’s chosen not to showcase them.

Rather, it has to do with Trump’s attacks on his opponents’ unworthiness as human beings. Trump undermines public faith in his opponents’ worth. He is a master of using schoolyard taunts to convince the public that his able opponents are no-accounts.

That’s all he has. Trump has but a single arrow in his quiver. So far, he hasn’t needed more. Convincing voters that every single opponent is no good is working for him. The question is: Will it keep on working?

You’ve noticed it, haven’t you?

For instance, when Trump learned from Fox News host Sean Hannity that The Washington Post has 20 reporters checking his background, he attacked the Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos, a Fortune 500 businessman, builder of Amazon. com and space pioneer, as seeking to avoid taxes.

Bezos “is using The Washington Post for power so that the politicians in Washington don’t tax Amazon like they should be taxed,” Trump shot back.

But Amazon doesn’t own the Post, and in any case the company is on record as favoring online taxes, if only

38 SOFTBALL – CLASS 4A LOCKPORT SECTIONAL FINAL: LINCOLN-WAY EAST 2, HOMEWOOD-FLOSSMOOR 0

Sectional three-peat for Lincoln-Way East

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – A lot of athletes are happy if they can play on one sectional championship squad in their careers.

But five members of Lincoln-Way East’s softball team have been on three straight sectional title teams, making them the first individuals from their program to achieve that feat.

Lauren Herlihy, Ami Ill, Eleni Kioussis, Nicole O’Donnell and Olivia Prieto made Griffins history Saturday when they helped their squad to a 2-0 win over Homewood-Flossmoor in the Class 4A Lockport Sectional final.

And they are just one win away from earning a state trophy for the third straight year. They’ll try to accomplish that Monday when they play in the 4:30 p.m. Illinois State University Supersectional in Normal against Normal West, which won, 7-0, over O’Fallon on Saturday.

Marina Esparza tossed a one-hitter while striking out seven to lead the Griffins (25-7) past the Vikings, who were hoping to claim their first sectional title since 1981.

“I think it’s really good that with older players leaving and new play-

“I think it’s really good that with older players leaving and new players coming in, that we can still be consistent and move on as a team every year. We try not to skip a beat. At practice, we work with our teammates to try to get close bonds, and I really think that’s what helps us the most. I like our fight.”

Eleni Kioussis

Lincoln-Way East senior softball player ers coming in, that we can still be consistent and move on as a team every year,” Kioussis said. “We try not to skip a beat. At practice, we work with our teammates to try to get close bonds, and I really think that’s what helps us the most. I like our fight. We were down in some games, but know that we can always come back. You can count on any player on the team to get a hit, and that’s nice.”

The Griffins picked up seven hits against Meagan Donermeyer (11 strikeouts), and three of those came in the first inning when East scored the only run it would need.

Things were looking good for the Vikings when they got a liner that went for a double play to leave the bases

empty with two outs. But Ill singled to center and Christine Malito doubled to left to give the Griffins a 1-0 lead.

“Our team always puts up a fight, no matter what, and we work together,” Ill said. “We like to have fun when we play and like to win while we’re doing it. No matter who is up to bat or in the field, we can always count on them to make a play or something happen. Our team has a lot of energy, and we’re always cheering each other on, and we’re always fighting in the batter’s box. We have a goal to get back to state and will do whatever it takes to get there.”

H-F had its best scoring chance in the third when Donermeyer reached on an error and Emily Montalvo

walked after the first batter struck out.

Mya Valadez moved the runners with a sacrifice, but the Vikings were called for interference on a popup to end the threat.

In the final four innings, H-F had only one baserunner, Mia Croswell, who reached on a bunt single to lead off the fifth. The Griffins righty retired the final nine batters she faced in order.

East picked up a big insurance run in the fourth after Brittany Pospishil collected the first of her two doubles to center. She scored later that inning when O’Donnell got an infield hit.

After just missing out on a state championship a year ago, East has plenty of motivation heading into the final week of the season. And it’s pretty clear which trophy it is seeking.

“This is great, especially since it’s just team wins right now,” Prieto said. “We’re getting closer as a team, and we’re all excited. We have fun out there, and our dance that we do when we get a base hit. We’re here to play to have fun and to win. We keep pushing forward and work for this all season, and we’re really just trying our hardest to get that firstplace trophy.”

SOFTBALL – CLASS 2A LEMONT SECTIONAL FINAL: NAZARETH ACADEMY 4, LEMONT 1

Lemont falls to Nazareth in sectional final

BY CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia LEMONT – Whenever a team advances to the sectional final, it’s a big deal.

And when a younger squad gets hot in the playoffs to close out a season that was up and down, it usually indicates good things down the road for them.

That’s why Lemont’s softball team can feel proud of its 15-15-1 season, which ended with a 4-1 loss to Nazareth Academy in Friday’s Class 2A Lemont Sectional final.

Lemont was hoping to win its first sectional title since 1989, when Pam Murray’s squad took third place in Class A. Instead, the 32-7 Roadrunners captured their second consecutive sectional and will meet Montini or Glenbard South in Monday’s Rosemont Supersectional.

Coach Chris Traina’s squad had four seniors – Kayla Irwin, Grace Lochen, Anna Smagacz and Maddy Vermejan – and three juniors. Eight play-

ers are freshmen or sophomores.

“Nazareth has a good team, and I wish them the best,” Traina said. “But I don’t want to take anything away from my group. We’re basically a .500 team, so to be in the sectional championship just shows how much these kids have grown and how proud of them I am.

“They believed in the coaching staff, and we’ve believed in them. I only had four seniors, and they’re just outstanding young ladies who are going to go on and do good things with their lives. And what I love about our younger players is that they’re eager to learn.

They weren’t just satisfied to be on the varsity – they always asked questions and really worked hard.”

Nazareth moved in front with a run in the second; and then, two innings later, it scored three times to take a 4-0 lead. Gloria Corona and Ciara Mardirosian both had three hits, while Katie Stewart and Emily Zalewski each chipped in with two hits for the Roadrunners.

“At the beginning of the season, I didn’t think we’d get out of regionals,” Irwin said. “But the fact that we got to the finals of the sectional and how we all came together is amazing. Once playoffs started, something clicked, and we got in the zone and were together, and the magic happened. I’ll remember the seniors, since we’ve been playing together since we were 5.”

After being stymied by Catherine Klostermann (13 strikeouts) through the first five innings, the Indians finally pushed across a run in the sixth when Vermejan led off with a single to right and Dani Stecyna followed with a hit up the middle. Following a pair of strikeouts, Irwin hit a blooper to left that fell between several fielders to account for Lemont’s lone run.

“After we started off slow, we really bonded throughout the season,” Vermejan said. “We became really strong, and we all worked together, and everyone played different aspects of the game, and that helped everyone to compete together and pick each oth-

er up. It was a blast playing with all of these girls. Once we got going, we bonded and became really close.”

Lemont got two hits each from Christine Tomala and Smagacz, while five others also added hits. Jade Mardjetko allowed only two earned runs during her six innings of work.

“We had a rough start to the season, so it’s really rewarding to get further than regionals, because we weren’t sure how we’d do,” Smagacz said. “You could just tell that everyone decided to make the best of it, and that’s what got us here. I liked that we were always having a good time. I hope that these girls take this season and go with it next year.”

After advancing to sectionals for the fifth time in seven years and with so many players back for the next two years, the future looks bright for the Indians.

“Whenever we were down, like after a bad play or a strikeout, we’d pick each other up,” Lochen said. “I’m going to remember the whole year.”

BASEBALL: CLASS 4A PROVIDENCE SECTIONAL FINAL: PROVIDENCE 4, LINCOLN-WAY NORTH 1

By TIM CRONIN For Shaw Media

• Sunday, June 5, 2016

NEW LENOX – It’s called Providence Magic, but that’s a misnomer.

And it happens far too often to be considered coincidence.

No, the Celtics’ baseball team simply has a way of finishing the job when the stakes are high. Saturday was only the latest example.

Trailing Lincoln-Way North by a run entering the seventh, the Celtics rallied for four runs in the top of the inning and hung on for a 4-1 victory in the Class 4A Sectional final they hosted.

Achieved in intermittent rain, the outcome catapulted Providence Catholic (30-9) to Monday’s supersectional in Champaign, the 18th straight postseason victory across three years for the two-time defending state champions.

It also brought to an end Lincoln-Way North’s athletic endeavors. The Phoenix baseball team (31-6) was the last squad alive in the school’s eighth and final year of operation.

North had taken a 1-0 lead on James Quinn’s two-out single, which scored pinch runner Sean Robinson, in the bottom of the sixth. Until that sequence, nobody from either side had reached third base. Providence had been held to four hits by Phoenix starter Ian VanWitzenburg, while North had managed only three hits in the first five innings, thanks to the pitching of the Celtics’ Connor Creed.

“The mood after six was survive and advance,” Creed said. “This is what we play for. I guess you can say we’re good at coming from behind.”

Lefty VanWitzenburg was reached in the seventh. After Jackson Dvorak’s single and a sacrifice, pinch runner Steven Meyer scored from second, tying the game, on Matt Waznis’ double to left-center.

“A big situation, down a run, was very similar to the state championship game last year,” Dvorak said. “I just knew I had to hit the ball hard. As a team, I know if I get on base, they’ll get me around the score. We find a way.”

Phoenix head coach Mitch Nowicki lifted VanWitzenburg in favor of righty Mitch Hunter with one out and two on. Waznis scampered across the plate on a passed ball on Hunter’s first pitch, giving the Celtics a 2-1 lead.

With two outs, pinch hitter Drew Hunniford singled to right, scoring Tom Kelley, and Hunniford came home moments later on Kevin Fitzgerald’s gapper to right-center.

It was 4-1, and after reliever Noah O’Brien took down the Phoenix with the smallest of drama – a hit batsman

For the Phoenix, the defeat was a hard one to take. Graduation already had come and gone; and with District 210’s decision to close the school after eight years, the baseball team was the last group alive. At 12:59 p.m. Saturday, that was no longer the case.

40 BASEBALL – CLASS 4A OSWEGO SECTIONAL FINAL: PLAINFIELD NORTH 11, NEUQUA VALLEY 3

Plainfield North gets back to supersectional

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – June 8, 2015. Crestwood, Illinois.

Minutes after Plainfield North baseball coach John Darlington and his 2015 Tigers lost, 5-4, to Mount Carmel in eight gut-wrenching innings in the Class 4A Crestwood Supersectional, a moment of truth occurred for the future 2016 Tigers.

From that moment at Standard Bank Stadium, the Tigers vowed “to return to Crestwood.” Led by Josh Heckman and Arizona State recruit Brady Corrigan, the 2016 Tigers crushed Neuqua Valley, 11-3, to claim Saturday’s Class 4A Oswego Sectional championship, which was moved to Joliet Junior College earlier in the day.

With the win, the Tigers (32-3) will “return to Crestwood” for this year’s Class 4A Crestwood Supersectional at Standard Bank Stadium, which will be

played at 7:30 p.m. Monday. They will face another Chicago Catholic League Blue Division foe, St. Laurence (31-8).

Heckman’s booming double with the bases loaded in the bottom of the second ignited a five-run Tiger inning. Alex Steinbach followed with an RBI double of his own for a 4-0 Tiger lead, and a fifth Tiger run scored on a miscue by Neuqua (24-14-1).

“I have been really hitting the ball well as of late,” Heckman said. “This was a huge win for us, and it will be great to return to the Class 4A Crestwood Supersectional at Standard Bank Stadium on Monday night.”

Right-hander Corrigan allowed just four hits and two earned runs in his 51⁄3 innings on the mound to pick up his 11th win in 12 decisions.

Neuqua closed to within three runs at 5-2 against Corrigan in the top of the fourth. But Corrigan would put another zero on the Wayne L. King Jr. Field scoreboard in the fifth.

“I pitched well tonight,” Corrigan said. “I struggled a little in the fourth, but was able to get back on track in the fifth. This is a huge win for us, as we move on to the Crestwood Supersectional on Monday.”

South Dakota State-bound Zach Jarosz added a pair of insurance runs for the Tigers in the fifth with a booming double. Another Neuqua error led to the third Tiger run of the inning for an 8-2 lead. Corrigan allowed an unearned run in the Wildcat sixth and was replaced by Tiger closer Connor Peplow on the mound.

Heckman singled home his fourth run in the sixth inning for a 9-3 lead.

Another Wildcat miscue led to the 10th Tiger run. The future Jackrabbit Jarosz drove home his third run of the contest with his third hit of the game, an RBI single, to close out the scoring.

“We all have really been hitting the ball, as a team,” Jarosz said. “I

struggled in my first at-bat, but really squared up the ball well in my later atbats. St. Laurence is a great team, but we are going to Crestwood to win and erase the bad feeling from last year.”

Steinbach chipped in with a three hits, and Peplow closed out the Wildcats with 12⁄3 innings of spotless relief.

“We came out with the mindset to win,” Steinbach said. “Our goal is to go all the way and win a state championship. I was able to hit a couple of fastballs hard and had a good day at the plate.”

“We really hit the ball well, up and down the lineup,” Darlington said.

“Josh Heckman got us started in the big five-run second. Alex Steinbach and Zach Jarosz had clutch hits for us.

“Brady Corrigan pitched well, and Connor Peplow was lights out for us, as he has been all season. St. Laurence is a very good team and, as I said a year ago, we will show up in Crestwood, Monday night.”

Lemont tops Herscher Lincoln-Way West falls

By DRAKE SKLEBA

Shaw Media Correspondent NEW LENOX – In the Class 3A Lincoln-Way West Sectional championship baseball game Saturday, Lemont spotted Herscher an unearned run in the top of the first inning.

But after being retired 1-2-3 in their half of the first, the Indians sent 17 men to bat in the bottom of the second, and 10 of them scored on six hits.

Indians senior starting and winning pitcher Garrett Acton led off the inning with a double, and in his second at-bat of the inning, he launched a grand slam.

Christian Krakar, added a pair of singles and three RBIs in the inning to lead Lemont past Herscher, 11-1, in a five-inning game.

In addition, Acton fired a two-hitter at the Tigers – including seven strikeouts – to improve to 7-2 this season. He also drove home the 11th Indian run, with a single in the fourth.

“It felt awesome to hit the grand slam. I was looking for a fastball and hit it hard,” Acton said. “I struggled a little in the first inning, but settled down to pitch a fine game. It always helps for me to have my outstanding battery mate, catcher Casey O’Brien. We have to continue to work hard and keep succeeding,

on the road to Joliet.”

Ryan Sublette, who fired a five-hit shutout at Morgan Park in a sectional semifinal Wednesday, chipped in with an RBI single. Nick Wisz also drove home a run with a single in the Indians’ 10-run second inning.

“As coach (Brian Storako) said, I have been struggling at the plate,” Krakar said. “I have worked hard at my hitting, and it felt great to drive in the three runs. We must continue to work hard and play well on Monday.”

Herscher bows out with a 29-10 record. Up next for Lemont (27-9) is a 5 p.m. game Monday in the Crestwood Supersectional against De La Salle (18-15).

The Meteors beat Evergreen Park, 15-6, in Saturday’s Class 3A Brooks Sectional championship.

“We competed well today, and we always try to be playing our best baseball at this time of year,” Lemont coach Brian Storako said. “Garrett settled down on the mound after the first inning and pitched well for us.

“At the plate, Garrett has been doing that all year for us. Chris Krakar has worked hard in the batting cages at home, and his hard work really paid off today.

Both De La Salle and Evergreen Park are quality teams, and we look forward to playing [De La Salle] on Monday.”

By MIKE FITZGERALD

Shaw Media Correspondent KANKAKEE – Lincoln-Way West’s softball sectional title hopes took a hit, literally, when Warriors ace Amanda Ruskowsky was hit by a pitch on the left hand while leading off in a game that West ultimately lost, 10-0, Saturday in five innings to Class 3A sectional host Bishop McNamara.

The Fightin’ Irish (26-9) advance to the Illinois Wesleyan Supersectional Monday. The Warriors finished the season at 26-9.

Ruskowsky was forced to leave the game on a 2-2 count, and Warriors coach Heather Novak had to go to sophomore Danielle Callahan as an emergency starter on the mound.

“She (Amanda) has been our leader all season, but I’m proud of this team for their ability to fight,” Novak said. “We put Danielle Callahan in a tough situation there. She had less than 10 innings of pitching going into this game due to an injury.

She did a nice job for us by coming in and keeping their potent offense

scoreless through two innings.”

Bishop McNamara broke through against the Warriors in the third inning. Fightin’ Irish catcher Shelby Stauffenberg hit a two-out, three-run homer over the left-field fence. Pitcher Alex Storako followed with a double to right. Carly Ford’s single to left scored Storako, and the Fightin’ Irish led 4-0.

Stauffenberg drove in two more runs in a five-run fourth inning with a double to left field. Storako followed with a two-run homer to right field to make it 9-0.

The Fightin’ Irish won the game by the 10-run rule in the bottom of the fifth inning when Callahan issued a bases-loaded walk.

Storako struck out 13 Warriors in five innings of work to pick up the win.

“I think we far exceeded the expectations for this year’s team,” Novak said. “This team’s ability, their work ethic all season long, their ability to play as a team one through 16, they’ve all stepped up throughout the season. I’m proud of their effort both on and off the field.”

“Even when we were down by a lot, we always fought very hard to come back since we never gave up,” Van Dyck said after Friday’s contest.

this was their third time at state. So there were no jitters, since they know what to expect coming in, and they came out firing on all cylinders, and we had to play catch-up a lot – and, eventually, that will hurt you.”

East led only twice in the opening set, with both being by a point and the last one coming at 13-12 on a kill

by Mike Herlihy. But New Trier got

a kill from Fauntleroy and then three straight aces from Lindstrom to move back in front for good.

“New Trier is a great team, so you don’t want to give them huge leads since it’s very hard to come back,” Van Dyck said. “But even when we were down by a lot, we always fought very hard to come back since we never gave up. And we worked really hard in practice and tried to build good chemistry, since I think that’s also very important in volleyball.”

Prospects were looking good for New Trier in the middle set after it took a 12-9 lead, and the set still was tied at 16 when East went on a roll to even the score. After Matt Breitbarth (32 assists, five kills) got a kill, he served up five straight points, including an ace.

“It’s hard to come back when you’re going down on big runs when they were serving like that,” Breitbarth said. “We did make a couple of runs which were huge, but in the end, we just gave them too many runs. Everyone worked together, and if someone made a bad play, we’d just tell them to pick it up next time.”

In the final set, it looked as if the Griffins might bounce back from a huge deficit in a match where they

trailed more often than they led. But New Trier responded to the threat and was able to deny East from capturing its second trophy in the past three years.

“Most of us hadn’t been to state before, so we kind of had first-game jitters,” Galifos said. “But now that these younger guys have been here, when they get back here, they won’t have that and will be able to come out as New Trier did and just be able to play regular. This group was a great bunch of guys. It was one of the best teams, chemistry-wise, that I’ve been on.”

East loses five players to graduation, including four of its starters. But the future looks bright for a program that returns nine players from this squad and inherits a few more next season.

“I’m obviously proud of any team that makes it to state, but this group really had to jell,” Fiore said. “We started three kids who played on the sophomore team last year, so it took some time to get them acclimated, but the guys who were back welcomed them and taught them. The new guys bought in to what we were doing, and to go 34-6 is pretty impressive.”

HOFFMAN ESTATES – One of the biggest advantages a team can bring into state finals play is when it has previous experience at that level while the other squad has very little.

That factor proved to be critical for New Trier’s boys volleyball team when it met Lincoln-Way East in Friday’s IHSA quarterfinals.

The Trevians played like a team that had six players who were on a quarterfinal squad a year ago and two who competed in two straight finals tournaments.

With Henry Lindstrom and Peter Hindsley leading the way, the third time proved to be the charm for New Trier as it advanced to the semifinals for the first time since 2007, capturing a 25-18, 18-25, 25-21 victory.

Coach Sue Ellen Haak’s Trevians (35-5) assured themselves of a third trophy after seeing the Griffins (34-6) fight back in the second set and rally from a 15-8 deficit in the finale.

With Eric Van Dyck at the service line in the last set, East closed to within 16-15, thanks to blocks that Lucas Galifos (10 kills, four blocks) shared with Jason Szara and Jack Huizinga (13 kills), who then both added kills.

After East pulled even for the only time in the third set at 17-all on a block

by Galifos and Szara, New Trier responded with kills from Hindsley (seven kills, three aces) and Lindstrom (14 kills, six aces) to regain control.

Galifos got a kill to make it 20-19, but the Trevians answered with kills

by Lindstrom, Billy Fauntleroy (10 kills) and Joe D’Attomo to go up, 23-19.

Then, after kills by Ian Piet (six kills) and Huizinga, they ended things with a kill by Fauntleroy and an ace from Lindstrom.

“If you’re going to advance at this level, you have to be crisp with pretty much everything that you’re doing and get a few breaks here and there,” East coach Kris Fiore said. “I think that we had a couple of close plays that if maybe went one way or another, we might have had a different outcome.

But we could never string a couple of those big plays together to pull ahead with the momentum in the third game, like we were able to in the second game.

“We did a great job of fighting back.

And at that point, I thought we’d finish them off, but they battled back.

They’re a really tough team, and they have a couple of great pin hitters. I think it was definitely to New Trier’s advantage since, for a lot of their kids,

42 NBA FINALS

No stranger to adversity, Cavs have more of it

By JON KRAWCZYNSKI

Cleveland Cavaliers forward LeBron James shoots Thursday against the Golden State Warriors during the second half of Game 2 of the NBA Finals, in Oakland, Calif.

The Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. – LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers know what’s being whispered – and sometimes shouted – at the NBA Finals.

The Cavaliers play in the Eastern Conference, they say. They haven’t been tested, they say. What happens when the adversity finally hits?

It came in Game 1, with the Golden State Warriors not even needing their two biggest stars while flattening the Cavaliers in the din of Oracle Arena. Now, everyone wants to know how the Cavaliers will respond, how will they react after a body blow in Round 1 showed no indication that a fully health Cavaliers team was any more capable of defeating the mighty Warriors than the depleted unit that James dragged along with him for six games last year.

The Cavs cruised through the inferior Eastern Conference all season, the narrative goes, and now their reckoning is upon them. Game 2 is on Sunday in Oakland, and the Splash Brothers will be frothing at the mouth after a tepid Game 1. It’s up to the Cavaliers to show they belong on the same court with the defending champions.

“We’re not a team that loses our composure over anything,” James said.

In reality, the Cavaliers have been tested like few others. Such is life on Planet LeBron, the most scrutinized, most followed, most nit-picked athlete in America. His gravitational pull draws in fans,

teammates and anybody with a notebook, a microphone or a blog, for better and worse.

“It was funny because people were talking about not having been through adversity, and, I mean, we’ve been through adversity all season,” Cavaliers coach Tyronn Lue said. “And I thought our guys did a great job of just coming together and understanding we have one common goal to start the season, and throughout that we had a lot of bumps in the road and a lot of things that happened.”

No adversity? How about firing a coach who led them to the NBA Finals a year ago and got them off to a 30-11 start to this season?

How about James raising eyebrows with his cryptic tweets, public challenging

of teammates and midseason refreshes in South Beach?

How about Kevin Love trying to find his way in an offense dominated by James and Kyrie Irving?

Sure, they won their first 10 games of the playoffs. Sure, the Raptors were never truly a threat to them in the East finals, even after tying the series 2-2. Sure, the Eastern Conference remains far less challenging on a night-to-night basis than the West.

But these Cavaliers have lived in a pressure cooker ever since James decided to return to Cleveland two summers ago. They know that the city’s tortured fan base pins its hopes on them to end a 52-year championship drought. They have been pushed and prodded and poked at all season long.

J.D. Martinez, Pelfrey beat Sale, White Sox; Coats hurt in debut

DETROIT – J.D. Martinez homered and drove in three runs, Mike Pelfrey ended an 18-start winless string and the Detroit Tigers beat Chris Sale and the White Sox, 7-4, Saturday.

During the game, the Sox announced they had acquired former All-Star pitcher James Shields and cash from San Diego for two players.

Sox left fielder Jason Coats, making his major league debut, exited in the seventh inning after colliding with center fielder J.B. Shuck. Coats was bleeding from a cut in his mouth, was tested for a concussion and was listed as day to day.

Martinez hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth that helped Pelfrey post his first win since Aug. 12. He allowed two runs on five hits and three walks in six innings, striking out three.

After Mark Lowe allowed two runs in the ninth, Francisco Rodriguez got the final out for his 14th save.

Sale (9-2) failed again to become the first 10-game winner in the majors. He allowed four runs on nine hits in 61⁄3 innings, and is now 0-2 in his past three starts.

CHICAGO – Jason Hammel was dominant on the mound and a bit lucky at the plate, a combination the Cubs are perfecting.

Hammel allowed one hit over seven innings and snapped a tie with a two-run single to lead the sizzling Cubs to a 5-3 victory Saturday over the Arizona Diamondbacks.

Dexter Fowler added his 17th career leadoff home run, Anthony Rizzo hit his 13th homer and Hector Rondon pitched a perfect ninth to earn his 10th save for the Cubs, who have won four straight and 10 of 11.

At 39-15, the Cubs are one-third of the way through the season and on pace to win 117 games.

“What can I say, man?” manager Joe Maddon said. “Nothing to complain about.”

Arizona went up 2-0 on Jake Lamb’s 10th homer in the first following a walk.

But Hammel (7-1) allowed only one more walk, retiring his last 13 batters amid intermittent rain.

The Cubs are 8-1 on a homestand that ends Sunday and are 5-1 against Arizona (24-34) which fell a season-worst 10 games under .500.

SUBMITTED REPORT JOLIET – After a rough road trip to Evansville, the Joliet Slammers returned to Silver Cross Field this weekend and captured two Frontier League victories over Gateway.

Joliet (10-11) defeated the Grizzlies, 5-2, Saturday after capturing an 8-7 win Friday.

In Saturday’s contest, Gateway scored two in the first before the Slammers moved in front with three runs in that inning. They added single runs in the fifth and seventh.

Spencer Medick allowed four hits and two runs in 71⁄3 innings to collect the win, while Kevin Simmons only allowed one hit and struck out three in 12⁄3 innings to get the save.

Alfredo Rodriguez went 4 for 4 and scored two runs and added an RBI to lead the Slammers. Carter Bell and Jake Gronsky both drove in two runs.

In Joliet’s first, Rodriguez tripled in Charlie White, and later Gronsky doubled home both Boo Vasquez and Bell. Rodriguez also scored his team’s final two runs.

The Slammers came away with a win Friday in front of a full house at Silver Cross Field with 4,668 fans in attendance, the highest attendance of

the Frontier League.

White hit a two-RBI single to give the Slammers a two-run lead over the Grizzlies in the eighth, leading the Slammers to their 8-7 win.

Bell (four RBIs) got the night started with his three-run home run in the bottom of the first to give the Slammers an early, 3-0 lead.

Joliet fell behind but pulled to within 6-3 in the fifth inning when Vazquez hit a home run.

In the seventh, White took third on a bunt and subsequent error and scored on a sacrifice fly by Alfredo Rodriguez to make it a one-run game. Vazquez doubled, and Bell came through again to tie the game.

Marc Rutledge relieved in the fourth inning and pitched through the seventh. He gave up the two runs in the fifth but was lights-out the rest of the way.

Tyler Levine and Kevin McNorton pitched the eighth and the ninth and shut down the Grizzlies. Levine earned the win, and McNorton got the save.

Gateway scored a run in the seventh, but McNorton put the Grizzlies’ comeback to a stop.

Joliet completes the three-game series with a 6:05 p.m. start Sunday.

PEORIA – Not many people remember the special year for ReedCuster athletics – 1985 – when it claimed its first state championship in any sport by winning the Class A baseball title.

But Saturday at Dozer Park, the Comets gave their younger fans something to remember for a long time when the baseball program picked up the school’s second title in any sport.

Reed-Custer jumped out to a 5-0 lead over St. Joseph-Ogden after two innings of the Class 2A championship but watched in dismay as a five-run Spartans’ fifth forced extra innings.

But the Comets put together three straight singles with two outs in the eighth inning to capture a 7-6 victory over St. Joseph-Ogden.

In 1985, future major leaguer Brian DuBois capped a historic season on the mound by leading coach Jerry Cougill’s Comets to a 30-4-1 campaign that was capped with a 5-0 victory over Litchfield in the title game. The only other time that Reed-Custer’s boys played for a state champion-

ship was in 1938, when its basketball squad fell in the finals to Dundee.

Cougill’s current squad finished 29-5 after winning for the 19th time in its last 20 games after defeating SJ-O (25-4), which was making its first state trip in the sport.

In the Comets’ eighth, Travis Schoonover (4 for 5) and Neil O’Donnell singled before Jordan Walden (3 for 3) followed with a single to bring home Schoonover for the game-winner.

Walden and Eddie Wilkins drove in runs in the first while Schoonover, and Hunter Murawski both had RBIs in the second, and Murawski also drove in a run in the fourth.

Brent Headrick went the distance to collect his 11th win in 12 decisions.

He allowed 10 hits but also struck out nine in eight innings.

In Friday’s 4-3 semifinal win over Rockford Lutheran, O’Donnell and Dan Fierro (two RBIs) both went 2 for 3 while Murawski, and Headrick also drove in runs.

Wilkins (7-0) earned the win after going 61⁄3 innings and allowing three hits and two earned runs. Headrick finished up to get the save.

AREA ROUNDUP

Plainfield South baseball wins its first sectional title SUBMITTED REPORTS BLOOMINGTON – On paper, O’Fallon’s baseball team looked to be the favorites over Plainfield South in the Class 4A Illinois Wesleyan University Sectional final.

After all, the Panthers won a sectional a year ago and had won four sectional titles in the past 10 years, while the Cougars never had won a sectional championship.

But all of that history meant little as coach Phil Bodine’s squad rolled to a 13-3 victory over O’Fallon to advance to Monday’s 4:30 p.m. Universi-

ty of Illinois Supersectional in Champaign against two-time defending state champion Providence Catholic.

Konnor Ash claimed his school record ninth win of the season, while Austin Marozas picked up the save for the Cougars (24-12).

Doubly blessed

Vic Reato shares the events that shaped his life and his career

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

JOLIET – Ask Vic Reato about significant events in his life, and he’ll name just two.

One is his marriage to Mary Ellen, who Reato said led him back to God. Reato, of Morris, said he met Mary Ellen in 1978 in Missouri while covering local teams playing in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics.

That leads to Reato’s second significant event: his career.

That began with a phone call in the spring of 1969, when Reato was a senior at Joliet West High School.

The caller was Robert J. Drazkowski, the then-sports editor for The Herald-News, offering Reato a part-time job.

Relieved he wasn’t in trouble and wondering how Drazkowski knew of him, Reato accepted.

“I was thrilled to death,’ Reato said. “Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to write.”

Reato never learned what prompted “Draz” to contact him. For the first two weeks, Reato sat in the newsroom and observed. Then one night, without warning, Drazkowski put him to work.

“I was answering phones and taking scores,” Reato said. “That’s how it all started.”

Reato wrote sports part time for The Herald-News until about 2009.

In 1981, Reato began working in the public relations department of Will County Health Department. His title was public information officer when he retired May 31.

He feels blessed to have worked in these positions. And Reato has his mother, Armeda Reato, to thank for it.

Reato lost his sight when he was about 16 months old after a virus of some kind – perhaps the measles or mumps, Reato speculated. In those days (Reato was born in 1950) children remained at home or went to state institutions.

Armeda had other plans for her son.

“My mother said, ‘You’re going to be independent. You’re not going to be encumbered on anyone. That’s the way I want you to be,’ ” Reato said.

“She always did what she could to

Reato said Armeda consulted with her priest, who advised the state school. So she called Joliet Public Schools District 86 until the district relented. Reato started school at age 7, where he simply sat in the classroom and absorbed what he could.

Year No. 2 was quite different.

“They hired a Braille resource teacher, and I actually had some books,” Reato said.

Oh, the wonder Reato felt when his parents bought him a Braille pocket dictionary!

Reato said he read the entire book,

one letter a time. He liked writing more than the slingshot his father made for him out of welding rod, the seven years of organ lessons or the three semesters at the University of Illinois before Reato quit to concentrate on his newspaper job.

Even the three-story, old Herald-News building at Scott and Van Buren streets itself fascinated Reato: the stairs that skipped the second floor to the third floor, the old printing press (“It was shot type, still had lead,” Reato said), and a pneumatic tube that sent copy to the composing room on the third floor.

Reato recalled the practical joke he played with that tube.

“I took three sheets of Braille I had written and put them in one of those tubes and sent it upstairs,” Reato said.

In 1976, Reato had an educational change of heart and enrolled at Lewis University in Romeoville, where he earned a liberal arts degree. In 1981, a security guard at the newspaper suggested Reato apply at the Will County Health Department, and Reato did.

Reato loved working for the Health Department for many of the same reasons he loved writing for a newspaper: the versatility and unpredictability of what he might cover during his shift.

“Might be a meningitis outbreak.

Might be bioterrorism,” Reato said.

“Might be a good story; they’re not all bad. You just didn’t know day to day what you’d face.”

He’s proud of the former radio shows – mostly for one in Ottawa, but one year for WJOL – where he was the “color analyst guy” for local sports topics.

He’s also proud of losing weight before his wedding – dropping from 326 pounds to 181. He also quit smoking before that big day.

“That was part of the newsroom. If you didn’t smoke, you hardly worked there,” Reato said. “I started smoking in 1970, and I smoked two packs of menthols a day until 1981.”

Reato said transportation to and from work was never an issue because of his wife, Mary Ellen, generous co-workers and Dial-A-Ride.

And he never missed driving. That’s because, twice, good friends brought Reato to a deserted area and let him drive a few feet.

The biggest surprise?

“Roads aren’t straight,” Reato said.

Despite his interest in music (blues, jazz and big band) and World War II, Reato really only has one solid goal for retirement: writing.

Reato said he doesn’t write poetry and “doesn’t have a novel inside him” – or the patience to write one. But he does want to freelance, hopefully for newspapers.

But not yet.

“I know I have no real plans for the first month or so,” Reato said. “Just kick back and take it all in.”

Berries have nutritional value Dear Dr. K: You often list berries as one of the most nutritious foods. It’s berry season, and my wife wants to buy lots of them, but they’re a little expensive. So, I’d like to know what makes them so healthy. Call me a skeptic.

Dear Reader: I know, I know, I keep repeating it’s the berries. But that’s because it’s true. And if the expense is an issue, consider the expensive foods you buy that definitely are unhealthy. I don’t need to list them – you know what they are.

Berries are perhaps the easiest way to follow the fruit part of the “eat more fruit and vegetables” advice you hear all the time, including from me. Berries naturally come in bite-sized portions. They’re sweet but have a low calorie count, partly because they contain a lot of water. If you don’t need to watch your calories – yes, there are people who are born thin – you can “pig out” on them. (Just don’t sprinkle much sugar on them.)

For one thing, berries contain a lot of fiber. A cup of raspberries contains 8 grams of fiber, which is more fiber than you’ll find in a serving of oatmeal.

For another, berries contain vitamins (C and a little bit of E, because of the seeds).

They also contain many less well-known but powerfully beneficial nutrients. One of the most important are substances called anthocyanins. These substances give berries their vivid red, blue and purplish colors. Anthocyanins are antioxidants, which keep oxygen ions and other unstable molecules from damaging DNA, interfering with cells’ energy-making machinery, stirring up inflammation in the body and having a variety of other harmful effects.

Anthocyanins are concentrated in the skin of berries (as well as other fruits). In general, the more intense the color, the higher the anthocyanin content. So blue-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff

berries and blackberries usually contain more anthocyanins than strawberries or raspberries. And wild berries have more antioxidants than their larger, paler, domesticated relations. Raspberries also contain a substance called ellagitannin, which imparts flavor and has antioxidant properties that add to the effects of anthocyanins.

You may have heard antioxidants in pill form, such as certain vitamin supplements, generally have not been proven to benefit your health, as many had hoped they would. However, antioxidant-rich foods definitely are good for you. Berries are one important example.

Be sure to wash berries right before eating them. That’s because berries can harbor viruses, bacteria and other pathogens that cause foodborne illnesses.

For me, a good way to start a day is with a bowl of fresh, delicious berries, mixed with French vanilla yogurt and coffee creamer with amaretto flavor. That’s a major part of breakfast every weekend (and often weekdays) at our place.

I had a patient who was a professional cook. She once chastised me for talking about how healthy certain foods were. “The point you should be emphasizing is that they are delicious, because they are. The fact that they’re also healthy is the icing on the cake.” She’s right. And berries are healthier than the icing on the cake.

Gift of nude calendar causes hiccup at family dinner party Dear Abby: During a recent family dinner, my uncle presented an odd gift to everyone there. He’s in his mid-50s and involved in the community and government of a small town.

He and other “public figures” – most of them older – decided to publish a calendar. On each page there is a nude photo of an aging community luminary posing with strategically placed objects covering his/her “goods.” To say the least, the photos are not flattering, funny or particularly modest.

Not only did my uncle give one to every family member – including my 80-year-old grandparents – but he took pains to point out his photo.

The awkward silence that followed ruined an otherwise nice family dinner.

Did this gift cross the line? Is

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips there a rule of etiquette regarding risque pictures of oneself? And how do I make sure I never have to see any other family members in their birthday suits without my consent?

– Flabbergasted In The Heartland Dear “Flab”: Personally, I think the premise of the calendar is a hoot. While your uncle may have wanted to “shock” the family, I’m sure he didn’t intend to offend anyone. A movie was made a few years ago about a group of older women in an English village who did something similar to raise money for charity.

NEIGHBOR

I’m sorry your family was offended, but I’m sure they’ll recover and so will you. In the future, don’t accept any gifts from this relative unless they have a warning label.

Dear Abby: My friend “Sara” invites herself and her two children over to play with mine from time to time. When it’s time to have a snack or eat, she and her kids make themselves at home – especially with the milk.

Abby, I work 70 hours a week. My children eat cereal often and love milk, but because of my schedule, I don’t get a chance to go grocery shopping as often as I should. (I am a single parent.) How do I politely tell my friend it’s fine to make herself at home, but getting both of her children refills of milk without asking me is taking it too far? She knows I

can afford it, but I’m uncomfortable asking because I don’t know how to draw the line. – Working Mom Out

West Dear Working Mom: I assume you

communicate with Sara outside of her drop-in visits to your home? The next time you talk, text or email her, explain you love her company and she’s always welcome, but because of your 70-hour work schedule you don’t get to the market as often as she does – so when she brings her kids, please also bring a quart of milk with her. To do that is stating the facts, it isn’t rude and it isn’t asking too much. If she’s your friend, and not a user, she will comply.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Get involved in activities that you can enjoy with someone you love.

Physical activity will inspire you to take on a new project or cause that will improve your lifestyle.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) –Your home should be your focus and your refuge today. Make personal changes that will bring you closer to the ones you

love. Romance is featured and encouraged.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – You’ll be taken advantage of if you are too accommodating. Walk away from anyone putting demands or pressure on you. A problem while traveling or with personal documentation is apparent.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Getting together with old friends will be enlightening and will encourage you to make changes that will add to your security.

Romance is in the stars, and decisions about your future can be made.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Look for a way to use your expertise to help others without making monetary contributions. Getting involved is one thing, but paying for others’ mistakes is not the answer.

Welcome to 24740 W. Park River Lane, in Shorewood! This home is located in a neighborhood of tranquil tree lined streets that have gentle slopes & curves and feature lakefronts & river borders. Offering nearly 2 acres of mature yard space and 3300 sq. ft. of above grade living space, it would be a challenge to run out of room, inside or outside!

Built in 1991, the initial quality & craftsmanship show beautifully. The improvements, however, never ceased. The home has been continually upgraded and updated. This move in ready home is available just in time for summer entertaining.

The main level of this home has hardwood flooring throughout the foyer, family room, kitchen, dining room & living room. White custom cabinets & hard surface countertops are a stand out in the kitchen, while the living room has custom builtin cabinets & intimate space. The family room is large and offers a fireplace and countless windows & french doors overlooking the wrap around deck & natural setting.

The bedrooms on the 2nd floor of the home are generously sized, as one would expect, with ample closet space & hardwood floors throughout the open hallway.

The master suite is complete with dual vanity, walk-in shower & walk-in closet plus whirlpool tub.

The basement is full, dry, finished and offers plenty of daylight as it is partially above grade. Playing pool, ping pong or relaxing on the couch for sports & movies is a natural here.

Let’s not forget the location! This fine home and neighborhood is less than 5 minutes from I-55 & I-80, offers Troy grade school & Minooka high school and is just minutes from major grocery & retail.

North responded with a splinter bid. He showed four-plus hearts, at least game-forcing values, and a singleton (or void) in clubs. South then bid what he hoped he could make.

Since South’s third diamond could be discarded on dummy’s spade queen and his club seven ruffed on the board, declarer apparently needed only to avoid losing two trump tricks. The concern was a 3-0 break.

The right play at trick two is for South to lead dummy’s heart two and, when East covers with the three, to put on his four! Here, after it wins, declarer cashes the heart ace and claims. But if the four loses to West’s jack or king, the trumps must be 2-1.

Or, if East discards on the first trump, South wins with his ace and leads a heart through West toward dummy’s queen.

That looks easy enough, but if East is in midseason form, he will produce some excellent subterfuge: He will drop his diamond queen under dummy’s king at trick one.

Now South will be reticent to take the trump safety-play for fear that East has two hearts and gains a diamond ruff when the first trump trick is taken by West’s singleton honor.

South is highly likely to play a heart to his ace and, here, go down.
