MORRIS – Once again, the village of Coal City was dotted with people in bright neon vests – the same vests the community has seen for the past year cleaning up after the June 22, 2015, tornado.

Preston Johnson, 15, of Coal City said it was important for him to come out and be involved in the final steps.

“That way people aren’t reminded when they drive by and see the debris,” Johnson said.

The debris included pieces of people’s homes, but also items such as a box of contacts belonging to someone whose home was damaged or destroyed.

Dozens of people showed up Saturday morning to start the two-day cleanup organized by the Rev. Mark Hughey.

By noon, there was only one crew left working in the last identified area that still needed cleaning.

“We had five leaders with 40 kids, as well as other volunteers show up to clean,” Hughey said. “We got way more done than I thought we would.”

He said once the final field area near Hunter’s Lane was complete, they will have completed all the areas the village of Coal City requested.

There is more volunteer work to do, but it will involve skilled crews such as those certified to use chain saws.

Another Coal City resident, Kiara Abbott, 15, said she was unable to help last summer as her family dealt with the personal impact of the tornado, so she wanted to come out and help the community now,

Other volunteers came from miles around, including a support staff member of the Western Springs Fire Department, Lucas Knudsen.

Knudsen was working when Kevin Hennessy, who also worked for the fire department, came into the office June 22 asking for someone to relieve him so he could get home to Coal City.

“After the fire academy graduation, we were hanging around when Kevin Hennessy asked someone to cover,” Knudsen said. “Ever since then, I’ve come down and helped as much as I could.

“The Western Springs Fire Depart-

ment mission suits the entire town of Coal City, neighbors helping neighbors.”

Some volunteers were from nonprofits such as Operation Rebuild, which was born after the Fairdale tornado and now responds wherever needed after a disaster. Others had more personal reasons for helping.

Jessica Murphy, 15, of Diamond watched the residents of Coal City come to the aid of her neighbors after the November 2013 tornado struck Diamond.

“My family was affected by the first tornado, but nothing serious, and I wanted to help give back to this community for their help then,” she said.

Public comment on railroad plan extended

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The U.S. Surface Transportation Board announced in a news release Friday an extension to the comment period for the draft scope of study for the preparation of the environmental impact statement for Great Lakes Basin Transportation Inc.’s proposed rail line construction.

As proposed, the Great Lakes Basin Railroad project would run 275 miles from La Porte, Indiana, to Milton, Wisconsin, and cut through Grundy County. Those spearheading the estimated $8 billion effort filed paperwork in March with the federal Surface Transportation Board, the governmental agency responsible for approving or denying the project on its merits while

examining potential environmental impacts.

The paperwork triggered hearings and a comment period for the public and interested parties.

The original deadline in May already had been pushed back to June 15. This recent deadline extension will keep the comment period open until July 15.

According to the news release, the deadline “has been extended an additional 30 days until July 15, 2016. No further time extensions will be granted.”

The news release also states that any comments previously submitted do not need to be resubmitted.

ON THE COVER

CORRECTIONS

Providence Catholic’s fans cheer against Mundelein on Saturday, during the IHSA Class 4A Baseball Championship at Silver Cross Field in Joliet.

In the article, “A chance at history this weekend in Joliet” that was on page 22 of the Friday, June 10, 2016, edition of The Herald-News, a file photo caption misidentified the year the picture of the Lemont baseball team winning the state title was taken. It was taken in 2014. The Herald-News regrets the error.

Joliet-area kids lend a helping hand with home-based businesses

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

*

Even before Lucy first set up her psychiatric booth in the 1960s, enterprising kids were finding ways to earn money.

But for several Joliet-area kids, entrepreneurship is more than filling the piggy bank. It’s about giving back.

For Khalia Booker, 12, of Lockport, helping a friend’s dog was the only reason she started her first lemonade stand this week. Khalia doesn’t have any pets of her own – although she really wants a dog or a cat – so when the dog developed an ear infection, Khalia offered to help pay for its treatment.

It’s not Khalia’s first business.

In fifth grade, Khalia made rubber bracelets and sold them for 50 cents – although, she can’t remember how much she made. This time, she’s charging $1 a glass of lemonade and has set a fundraising goal.

“About $200,” Khalia said.

If she raises more, she’ll donate it to an animal shelter, she said.

Business was slow Monday, but Khalia made $18 Tuesday and was asked to sell lemonade at a dance performance at Dellwood Park, which brought in another $10. Khalia’s total profit so far is $38.

Schikae Adams, Khalia’s mother, said her daughter is naturally creative. For example, Khalia sews doll clothes and was the state winner for the Illinois Art Education Association Student Art Show.

However, Adams isn’t sure where Khalia had the idea for a lemonade stand.

“I think she saw it on YouTube,” Adams said. “She watches a lot of YouTube.”

But even kids experienced with running summer businesses have slow spells. Reece Gibbons, 10, and her brother, Ryan, 8, ran successful stands for several years when they lived on a busy street in Lansing, said their mother, Carin Gibbons.

This year, the family moved to a quiet Manhattan street. Reece and Ryan made only $45 in their first three days, Carin said, but the siblings had a marketing plan. They engaged the help of three friends on bikes to spread the word.

Trinity is Reece’s and Ryan’s cousin and helps out when she can.

When customers arrive, they have plenty of choices. In addition to 50cent cups of lemonade, Reece and Ryan are selling homemade brown-

ies for a quarter or 50 cents (“It depends on the size,” Reece said) and Reece’s homemade refrigerator magnets for 75 cents, most likely.

“I have to talk to my mom about that,” Reece said of the price.

Joliet finds out Monday if IHSA tourney returns

Schaumburg, Kane County also vying to host baseball event

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city should find out Monday if the Illinois High School Association baseball tournament is coming back next year.

Silver Cross Field has been the site of the IHSA tournament for Classes 3A and 4A for 10 years.

Joliet and the Slammers want it back.

But Silver Cross Field faces stiff competition from other minor-league ballparks as the IHSA considers bids from other venues.

The tournament brings people to Joliet. People spend money. Many stay overnight at hotels. Joliet gets some exposure to those who might otherwise not see the local attractions. The Slammers, the minor league baseball team that plays at Silver Cross Field, gets some exposure to people in their market area when schools closer to home play in the tournament.

“It becomes, in effect, tourism,” said Steve Jones, the city’s economic development director. “You hope some of the people come back.”

Joliet and Silver Cross Field are competing with three other venues that have put in bids for the tournament.

The IHSA also is looking at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark in Geneva, home of the Kane County Cougars; Boomers Stadium in Schaumburg; and the Corn Crib in Normal.

The Cougars are a minor league affiliate of the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Schaumburg and Normal ballparks both are home fields for independent, minor league baseball teams that, like the Slammers, are in the Frontier League. Normal also is the twin city to Bloomington, where the IHSA offices are located.

The IHSA board meets Monday and is scheduled to vote on the host for the Class 3A and Class 4A tournaments in the future.

The board took bids because the IHSA’s five-year contract with Silver Cross Field expired this year, Assistant Executive Director Matt Troha said. Joliet

The city will learn Monday if the IHSA Class 4A and Class 3A tournaments will return next year. is at the end of its second five-year contract.

The decision of where to host the tournament is based on a variety of factors, including stadiums, field conditions, economic packages and accommodations that the various cities and ballparks make for the tournament, Troha said.

“I think a selling point for Joliet is that both of the high schools are involved and volunteer,” he said.

The economic package includes the cost of stadium use and what the host city will provide for the IHSA to defray the costs of the tournament.

Joliet does not charge for the use of Silver Cross Field, and IHSA staff is provided with free hotel accommodations. Jones said the provisions are made because of the economic benefit the tournament brings to Joliet.

He believes Joliet has a good chance of keeping the tournament because of its record.

“There’s a history here,” Jones said. “They know that the city, the volunteers and the Slammers organization know how to run a tournament. If they go someplace else, they’re kind of testing the waters.”

City to replace lightbulbs at Silver Cross Field

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Things are about to get brighter at Silver Cross Field – literally.

The stadium lights are getting new bulbs.

The city, which owns the stadium, decided it might as well replace all the bulbs while replacing some.

“The biggest cost is getting a crane and getting a guy up there to replace the bulbs,” City Manager Jim Hock said. “If there’s three or four out, that means next week it could be another three or four. They’re all the same age.”

The City Council last week awarded a $36,675 contract to Fox Electrical Contracting of New Lenox, which

offered the low quote to do the job. The city requested quotes from four companies and received responses from two.

Slammers General Manager Heather Mills said the lights are not so dim that they affect play, but she expects that people will notice the difference when all the new bulbs are in.

“They are starting to get to that point when they are at the end of their useful life,” she said.

The city initially was just looking to take down emergency lights that are in danger of falling off poles, Hock said. Because of the cost of hiring a crane, the decision Shaw Media file photo was made to replace the lightbulbs at the same time.

He said the job likely is to be done in the next couple Silver Cross Field – seen here in 2013 – will get new of weeks. lightbulbs in the coming weeks.

“I love it. It’s a lot of fun. The music is great – and just being able to walk around the street and meet new people.”

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com

Anne Kasa

New Lenox resident, on New Orleans North

Eric Ginnard - eginnard@shawmedia.com

Members of the Four Star Brass Band play a set Friday during the New Orleans North celebration in downtown Joliet.

Stennis Sims of Joliet was having a bowl of Bowman’s Crawfish Monica.

“This is my second serving,” he said.

The event had a party atmosphere, with a New Orleans-style brass band playing in the street as a stilt walker danced with whomever wanted to

join her. There were two stages, one of which had an open mic. Thousands of people were in the streets.

Mary and Steve Mackiewicz of Shorewood like to visit New Orleans, and Mary said the Joliet event “has the feel of it – the music and the people outside. Everyone’s outside in New Or-

leans all the time and drinking in the streets.”

Some people were dressed in Mardi Gras style. Some wore masks. Many wore beads. One man wore a Scottish kilt and tam-o’-shanter.

In addition to truck vendors, downtown restaurants put out tables on the sidewalk to serve their specialties.

“I had some of the food at the Tin Roof,” said Matt Kasa of New Lenox.

“I was trying some of the local restaurants.”

“I love it,” said his wife, Anne Kasa.

“It’s a lot of fun. The music is great – and just being able to walk around the street and meet new people.”

Anne never has been to New Orleans.

“But I have a friend who’s going,” she said. “I said, ‘I’m going to be in New Orleans, too – New Orleans North.’ ”

JOLIET – People were in the streets.

The music was playing. Many were dressed strangely or creatively, depending on your point of view.

Friday night downtown was a lot like being back home in New Orleans, said Cathy Robinson, who now lives in Plainfield.

It was New Orleans North, an annual summer party downtown organized by the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

“I wish they’d do it more often,” said Robinson, who was attending New Orleans North for the first time. “I will come from now on.”

Drinks included Hurricanes, although not quite as strong as they serve them in New Orleans, Robinson said.

Food included seafood gumbo, a softshell crab po’boy and creole-smothered tomatoes and okra.

The tomatoes and okra were from N’Awlins Edibles, a catering businesses owned by Cheryl Bowman, also originally of New Orleans and now of Aurora.

“I had kind of given up on festivals,” Bowman said. “But when I saw this event, it’s near and dear. I had to be here.”

8 NEW LENOX

Second new member named for Lincoln-Way board

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – The Lincoln-Way District 210 school board announced Saturday the appointment of Joe Kirkeeng as the second of two new members.

In the wake of North High School’s final graduation and the year of controversy that preceded it, Kirkeeng, who has lived in the district for more than 20 years, is uniquely qualified to sit on the board.

He was a member of Joliet East High School’s last graduating class in 1983.

“I lived that,” Kir- Joe Kirkeeng keeng said.

Additionally, as a member of District 210’s recently formed finance and building committee, he said he already is addressing issues that are relevant to Lincoln-Way’s troubled finances.

The board voted last August to close North in an effort to reduce budget deficits and was sued by resident group Lincoln-Way Area Taxpayers Unite over the decision. The lawsuit was dismissed earlier this month, but the board and district also are facing a federal grand jury investigation into records related to former Superintendent Lawrence Wyllie and other matters.

“We have to learn from the past, use that information in the present to create the future,” Kirkeeng said.

He wanted to join the board because his family chose to live in District 210 for the schools, and after a positive experience as a district parent, Kirkeeng said he was interested in contributing to the district during a crucial time for its taxpayers.

“Why not me?” he asked.

Kirkeeng previously has been ap-

pointed to the New Lenox Grade School District 122 school board, according to his Lincoln-Way board application, and he said his three children all graduated from West High School.

He is executive vice president of First Secure Bank & Trust in Palos Hills. He said his experience in the financial services industry gives him an understanding of how for-profit, nonprofit and government organizations operate monetarily.

The weekend announcement of Kirkeeng’s appointment via a district news release followed a more than sixhour board meeting Thursday, which ended with the selection of Frankfort attorney Joseph Kosteck to fill one of two vacancies. The board decided Thursday on the second appointee, but President Dee Molinare said she could not say who the other newcomer would be, as the candidate had not yet been notified.

Four members have resigned this year from the embattled board: Christopher McFadden, Kevin Molloy, Arvid Johnson and Kathleen Casey, who applied for a seat after Molloy and McFadden departed and resigned within months of being appointed.

Kirkeeng applied to be on the board after the resignations of McFadden and Molloy, and again after Johnson resigned. The resignations of Johnson and Casey yielded a total of 19 applicants.

“Mr. Kirkeeng’s background, experience and commitment to education will further strengthen our board. We are excited to see our new members contribute to the Lincoln-Way mission,” Molinare said in the news release.

It is anticipated Kirkeeng and Kosteck will be formally seated at the next board meeting, which is scheduled for Thursday at Central High School.

Haley Augello, a 2016 Olympian, receives well-wishes Friday from her mother’s co-workers at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet during a pep rally. more real as Haley’s career evolved.

Larry, a former wrestler himself and a wrestling coach, guided Haley from the start of her career up to now.

The father-daughter, coach-athlete dynamic wasn’t always easy for either side.

“I’d struggle to define when he was coaching or being dad,” Haley said of her father. “I had hurt feelings at times. But I realized he wanted the best for me. He wasn’t yelling because he was mad at me – it was because I needed a push.”

Parents who coach their kids usually just want the kids to have fun in the

beginning, Larry said. But his daughter continued to prove herself by competing in, and winning, increasingly prestigious events. As the stakes rose, so did his expectations.

“My expectations sometimes motivated my behaviors,” Larry said.

“It’s difficult to separate being coach and being a parent. It strains the relationship. A coach can easily deal with disappointment. But a parent is emotionally tied to it, always looking for results.”

Larry said he began to appreciate the situation more as Haley was coached by others. A few of her many

accolades include winning two national titles for King University and All-American honors in high school.

Now, what wasn’t possible 13 years ago is reality. Haley is an Olympian.

“The more she believed, the more I believed,” Larry said.

The Augello family will travel to Brazil for the competition and stay through closing ceremonies. Larry thinks his daughter can get even better.

“She’s just reaching her potential,” he said. “She still has upside, and she’s enjoying it more than ever. That’s the best part.”

JOLIET – When Haley Augello started wrestling as a child, becoming an Olympian wasn’t her or her father’s goal.

It wasn’t possible.

But in 2004, women’s wrestling was added to Olympic competition, and Augello, a 2013 graduate of Lockport Township High School, qualified in April for the 2016 Olympics at a tournament in Mongolia.

Her mother, Wendy Augello, is a post-anesthesia care unit nurse at Presence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Joliet. On Friday, hospital employees gathered in an auditorium and welcomed Haley with cheers, gifts and a prayer.

“I thought this was going to be a little lunch,” said Haley, a redshirt sophomore at King University in Bristol, Tennessee.

Chants of “USA” echoed through the auditorium as the Augello family took their seats at the front of the room. Haley thanked everyone for attending and commended the medical professionals for their care of people and for assisting in athletes’ quests for greatness.

“I’ve been wrestling my whole life,” Haley said. “It’s kind of another tournament to me, but it’s such a big thing to be a part of. I like to see everyone’s excitement.”

Seeing how happy other people are for her has put things in perspective, Haley said, even amid a rigorous preparation schedule that will bring her this week to train at the United States Olympic Complex Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She’ll also compete in Canada and Spain before leaving in August for Olympic competition in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Although Wendy and her husband, Larry Augello, never set their sights on having their second-oldest child in the Olympics, the opportunity became

Arroyo siblings remembered on Friday at Gompers vigil

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Balloons were released into the sky and candles were lit outside Gompers Junior High School to honor the memory of Abigail and Eder Arroyo, two Joliet children who tragically drowned on Memorial Day. Dozens gathered Friday outside the school the Arroyo siblings attended for a vigil that was organized by schoolmates.

“We wanted the family to know that everybody was here for them, everybody loved them and all the passion they had for them,” said Anthony Garcia, a Gompers graduate who was one of the organizers of the vigil.

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

Garcia said when he found out about the tragedy, he contacted Mckenzie Loehr, a Gompers student who was vacationing in Tennessee until she heard the news.

The two worked together to plan a vigil for friends and family of the Arroyo siblings, as well as dozens of others in the community. As with a gathering in Wilmington the previous Friday in honor of the Arroyo siblings, many people at the vigil wore white.

People in the community shared their memories of the two children following a ceremony at which hundreds of white balloons were released into the sky.

Jennifer Wynveen, a Gompers choir teacher, said Abigail was a student of hers. Wynveen led students at the vigil Friday as they sang songs.

She said she noticed Abigail had become more outgoing in the past year.

“I could hear her laughing, and I knew exactly who it was – it was Abigail. It was nice to see her come out of her shell more this year,” she said.

Wynveen said Abigail blossomed

“That’s why it’s so devastating to me, because I just got to see glimpses of her personality,” Wynveen said.

Angel Matthews, a social worker at Gompers who worked with Eder, said she knew that deep down he was a good person who always had a smile and a sense of humor.

“I think a lot of people didn’t get a lot of time to know Eder but the short time that I did know Eder; I really thought that he had some good in him and he was a good kid,” Matthews said.

A petition was passed around at the vigil requesting a permanent barricade or safety fence be placed in the area where the Arroyo siblings fell into the Kankakee River, along with any other dangerous areas.

“We need people to do something about this. We need more than just a sign so kids don’t fall in and drown,” said Alicia Morales, a Joliet Junior College board trustee who was at Friday’s vigil to let people know about the petition.

“It’s not the first time and won’t be the last time if we just look the other way and don’t do anything,” she said.

Khalia Booker sells lemonade Friday in Lockport. She plans to use the money for medical care for her friend’s dog and also for shelter dogs.

• LEMONADE

Continued from page 3 They’re also selling rocks – ordinary rocks on which they’ve hand painted original designs with acrylics.

Reece said rock prices range from 5 to 75 cents. She and Ryan developed the idea after they and their babysitter had decorated rocks with markers.

“We decided they looked real cute,” Reece said. “We’ve already sold four.”

Designs include the American flag, a tie-dyed design (“That one got sold,” Reece said) and a monster with one eye that Ryan painted. Like Khalia, the children want to donate at least part of their profits – in this case, to an organization that helps people with dementia.

“My grandma has dementia,” Reece said.

Jakob Koppers, 6, of Channahon, skipped the lemonade stand altogether. His mother, Kristen Koppers, set up a Facebook page: Paintings by Jakob.

An experienced painter with two years

under his palette, Jakob is making and selling his custom tempura paintings.

Examples include flowers, a blue heart and yellow and gray stripes with the letter “K” in the middle, Jakob said.

Prices are $10 for an 8-by-10-inch painting, $15 for an 11-by-14-inch painting and $25 for a 16-by-20-inch painting.

Five dollars per painting goes to Jakob; the rest will be donated to the American Cancer Society. Jakob’s goal is $100.

Kristen said she suggested the American Cancer Society after Jakob said he wanted to paint pictures for his “Papa,” his grandfather, John Biksacky, who died four years ago from cancer. Jakob attended Relay for Life with his mother for the first time this year, she said, and seemed to grasp the concept that he can’t directly share his artwork with Papa John.

Jakob Koppers, 6, holds up one of his original tempura paintings Friday in Channahon.

Jakob explained it like this.

“He was 67 years old,” Jakob said, Jakob hopes to raise $100 for the American Cancer Society in honor of his grandfather, “and he’s in Heaven now.” who passed away four years ago.

Firefighters respond to heavy E. coli, total coliform bacteria smoke at Channahon facility found in Minooka water supply The HERALD–NEWS CHANNAHON – Channahon firefighters responded Friday to heavy smoke coming from the IOI Loders Croklaan facility.

Channahon Fire Protection District officials stated in a news release that employees were evacuated without injury from the north building at the facility.

The incident was being investigated Friday afternoon.

Operations at the vegetable oil refinery had been halted and it was unknown when they would resume.

At 12:30 p.m., Channahon firefighters saw smoke showing from the north building at 24708 W. Durkee Road in Channahon, according to the fire district news release.

Upon further investigation, the

firefighters saw heavy smoke conditions in the interior of the building, and a search revealed a large volume of the smoke coming from the crude soybean oil processing unit.

No flames were visible, but the oil was later confirmed to be overheated

by Loders Croklaan representatives, fire officials stated.

Firefighters extended hose lines into the building as a safety precaution, and command staff worked with facility representatives on extinguishing methods.

The facility’s staff discontinued electric power to the building and product heating elements. Firefighters also ventilated the building to alleviate the volume of smoke.

Other responding agencies included Frankfort, Homer Township and Lockport fire districts.

Barn fire believed to be intentional

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – A fire that burned down an old barn Friday is believed to have been set.

It could have been intentional or accidental, but there was no other apparent cause for the fire, said Plainfield Deputy Fire Chief Jon Stratton.

“It looks like foul play. There’s no power out there,” Stratton said. “It could have been just somebody discarding a cigarette because there was so much wind.”

The barn was part of an old homestead along Route 30 west of Interstate 55. The site is by the old Clark

truck stop.

The homestead has been abandoned for years and has no electricity, Stratton said. Other buildings on the site are dilapidated to the point that trees are growing through them, he said, and the buildings will be razed eventually as the site is redeveloped.

The area lies along the border of Plainfield and Joliet.

The Joliet Fire Department initially responded to the fire and put it out in about an hour, said Battalion Chief Pat Strocchia.

The call came in to Joliet at 12:28 p.m.

The barn was fully in flames when firefighters arrived, he said.

MINOOKA – Minooka village officials are urging people to boil their water because E. coli bacteria and total coliform bacteria were found in the water supply Friday.

According to the warning issued by the village, a system-wide assessment and resampling of water are being completed. The source is believed to be the sampling point water fixture, but as a precautionary requirement, a boil order must be issued, village officials stated.

Ryan Anderson, Minooka public works superintendent, said no one has been affected by the incident so far.

He said the only water that needs to be boiled is that which is being consumed. Water for bathing and showers does not require boiling. He said the affected water is not from a well source.

People should not drink the water without boiling it first, stated the warning, which instructs residents to bring all water to a boil, let it boil for one minute and let it cool before using – or use bottled water.

ROCKDALE – Nine people were injured in a two-vehicle crash Friday afternoon.

The crash occurred about 2:45 p.m. at South Larkin and Moen avenues in Rockdale, according to the Rockdale Fire Department.

The incident was the result of a rear-

“Boiled or bottled water should be used for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes and food preparation until further notice.

Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms,” the warning on the Minooka village website stated.

Village officials stated they will inform the public when tests show no bacteria are present in the water and thus there is no longer a need to boil water. Sample results are anticipated to be analyzed by late Sunday afternoon.

Minooka police probe spree of fraudulent credit card purchases

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com MINOOKA – Minooka police are trying to find out who’s behind a recent string of fraudulent credit card purchases.

Minooka Police Chief Justin Meyer said a discussion in the “Moms of Minooka” Facebook group sparked the investigation.

Meyer said there had been 10 known fraud cases in a nine-day span as of Friday morning. Investigators began contacting the victims and learned the fraud likely occurred at local gas stations and restaurants, Meyer said.

Purchases have been made with the stolen card numbers in Chicago, Elgin and Elk Grove.

“We’re trying to find a common denominator to see if the card numbers were stolen from a business here in town,” Meyer said.

Officers have made the rounds to area gas stations, which have provided access to credit card panels at each pump. Police initially thought an internal credit card number skimmer was placed at a pump or pumps.

“There’s no internal skimmer inside of them,” Meyer said. “Not saying it wasn’t there before, but it’s not there now. We’re now looking toward employees of local restaurants.”

Meyer suggested using cash in Minooka in the meantime, or using a card in person with a cashier. He suggested going into restaurants to pay rather than using a drive-thru.

• Sunday, June 12, 2016

JOLIET – A Homer Glen lawyer convicted of trying to hire his wife’s murder claims the man who informed on him did the same thing in another case.

Robert W. GoldSmith, 53, also said Friday morning that Assistant Public Defender Amy Christensen and Assistant State’s Attorney Adam Capelli have Robert W. failed in their duties to Gold-Smith the court, Judge Daniel Rozak has been biased against him since the beginning, and he’s considering hiring another lawyer.

“Do you want to argue your motion or do you want to take your second cheap shot of the morning at another attorney?” Rozak asked Gold-Smith, who filed a motion to introduce new evidence and a motion for a new trial.

Gold-Smith, a former bankruptcy attorney, is awaiting sentencing for solicitation of murder for approaching an inmate at the Will County jail in 2011 and offering money to kill his estranged wife.

Gold-Smith was in jail for allegedly violating an order of protection after he allegedly punched his wife outside a courtroom.

Gold-Smith is representing him-

self on the murder-for-hire case, and Christensen is representing him for the courthouse battery case. GoldSmith filed a complaint against Christensen with an attorney disciplinary commission, which was determined to be unfounded. “[She suggested] I plead guilty to [the battery] case – put a conviction on my record ... so the time I get goes toward the murder-for-hire case. The minimum [20 years] is a life sentence for a man my age, so what the hell does it matter?” Gold-Smith said.

Rozak said many defendants learn they “don’t get an automatic substitution” when they file complaints against lawyers and judges.

“You delay this every time. You’ve gone through more attorneys than all who were listed in the phone book when I started practicing law,” Rozak told Gold-Smith.

Gold-Smith said he learned while speaking to another inmate last month at the courthouse that Brian McDaniel was the informant in another murder-for-hire case.

“The odds of McDaniel’s [reliability] in both cases is infinitesimal,” Gold-Smith said.

Rozak, the judge who assigns all felony matters, was unable to recall any similar cases, but assigned Capelli to investigate if there is another pending murder-for-hire case involving McDaniel.

STATE Cyanide victim’s sister: Police have done ‘nothing’

By JASON KEYSER

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The sister of a Chicago businessman who authorities said was poisoned with cyanide after winning the lottery four years ago said Saturday that police have done nothing to solve the case.

Meraj Khan took exception to a statement police provided Friday to The Associated Press that the probe into Urooj Khan’s death remains “very much an open and active investigation.” She said the detective in charge of the case has told relatives over the years that he’s too busy with other things to even answer their phone inquiries seeking updates.

“Every time we called them, he hands it to somebody else who says, ‘Oh, we are looking into it,’ ” she said.

“They haven’t done nothing, really.”

The Associated Press sought updates on the case as the medical examiner who first declared it a homicide left office last week with the matter still unresolved. His findings, which reversed an initial ruling that Khan

5-year-old girl among more than a dozen shot in Chicago

CHICAGO – A 5-year-old girl is among more than a dozen people shot so far this weekend in Chicago.

Police said two men were killed and at least 17 others injured in shootings Friday and early Saturday.

The 5-year-old was shot at a graduation party in the city’s Marquette Park neighborhood Friday night.

Police said the girl and a 34-year-old woman were on a sidewalk in front of a home around 8 p.m. when several people walked out of an alley and began shooting, hitting both victims in the foot. Their injuries are not life-threatening.

Police said it doesn’t appear either person was the shooters’ intended target.

WIU trustees vote to eliminate four degree programs

MACOMB – Western Illinois University trustees voted Friday to eliminate African-American studies, women’s studies and two other degree programs because of poor enrollment and low graduation rates.

The trustees’ vote follows a recommendation by provost and academic vice president Kathy Neumann and a study by a program elimination committee.

The university will let students minor in the eliminated program areas, which include philosophy and religious studies.

Trustee board Chairwoman Cathy Early said the decision to eliminate the majors was not one the board took lightly.

“The board got a lot of input and there were a lot of people that contacted us,” she told The

Western’s registrar’s office said no degrees in African-American studies, two degrees in philosophy, two degrees in women’s studies and one degree in religious studies were conferred in May.

SIU plans downstate expansion of telehealth services

LINCOLN – Southern Illinois University is employing more than 100 trained professionals to carry out what’s expected to be a massive expansion of the School of Medicine’s “telehealth” services for residents over the next two years.

Since 2014, the medical school and its physician group, SIU HealthCare, have spent about $300,000 in startup costs on SIU Telehealth, the State Journal-Register reported.

SIU Telehealth uses secure

Meraj Khan said Saturday it has been years since investigators sought information from the businessman’s daughter, who witnessed events leading up to the July 2012 death after a meal prepared by her step-mother. No one has ever been charged, and the step-mother has denied killing Khan.

Guglielmi said Saturday that the police department stands by the statement that the case remains active.

Urooj Khan, who moved to the U.S. in 1989 from Hyderabad, India, ran dry-cleaning businesses with his wife in the West Rogers Park neighborhood on Chicago’s northwest Side.

He won $1 million with a scratch-off lottery ticket. He opted to collect it as a $600,000 lump sum, which after taxes amounted to more than $424,000.

But the 46-year-old died July 20, 2012, one day after his lottery check was issued but before he received it.

After a bitter probate battle, Khan’s estate – including the lottery check – was split between his wife and her now-estranged stepdaughter.

networks and high-quality video and audio to connect residents in central and southern Illinois to specialists in Springfield.

“It’s really about improving access,” said Nina Antoniotti, SIU executive director of TeleHealth and Clinical Outreach, who previously worked at the Marshfield Clinic in Wisconsin.

Antoniotti, a nationally respected authority on telehealth, said Illinois is behind many states when it comes to making health care more accessible to rural areas through telemedicine.

Southern Illinois University, the primary provider of telehealth services in downstate Illinois, already has installed equipment at hospitals in 11 communities, including Decatur, Benton, Carthage, Havana, Pittsfield and Carlinville.

Antoniotti said she expects to have about 50 telehealth sites up and running by July 2017.

Antoniotti said the 20 to 40 patients who will be served this month likely will increase to 400 or 500 monthly by the

end of the year. She said that total could reach 1,000 or more patients each month the next year.

Candy history exhibit highlights Greek-Americans

CHICAGO – An exhibit about Chicago’s candy-making history opens Thursday at a museum in the city’s Greektown neighborhood.

The National Hellenic Museum hosts the exhibit, titled “Sweet Home Chicago.” It tells the stories of the Greek immigrants who ran candy and ice cream shops throughout the city by the late 1800s.

By 1906, one of the nation’s Greek language newspapers reported there were 925 Greekowned candy and ice-cream businesses in Chicago.

The “Sweet Home Chicago” exhibit includes photos, artifacts, a short documentary and activities such as a candy quiz and a candy-wrapping challenge. It was created by the Elmhurst Historical Museum.

Romney loyalists agonize over a future with Trump

By JULIE BYKOWICZ The Associated Press

PARK CITY, Utah – Donald Trump can be an effective president, and he’s going to win with you or without you, Republican Chairman Reince Priebus told several hundred of the party’s top donors and strategists Saturday.

But Trump is setting a dangerous example for Americans by promoting “trickle-down racism,” and the party must look beyond this presidential election to find its future, the 2012 nominee Mitt Romney told the same group later that morning.

Delivered within moments of each other at Romney’s annual business and politics summit at a five-star ski resort, those opposite messages were enough to cause whiplash.

That’s a hazard of being a Republican this year, as the party struggles to figure out what to do with its controversial presumptive presidential nominee.

Blinking back tears as he spoke, an impassioned Romney said many have asked him to get off his “high horse” and back Trump, seeing presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton as unacceptable. “Either choice is destructive,” Romney said. “I love this country. I love the found- Reince ers. I love what this country is Priebus built upon, and its values. And seeing this is breaking my heart.”

Romney said he would not spend time campaigning for or against Trump and predicted 90 percent of Republicans would vote for Trump.

The attendees, about 300 of Romney’s longtime donors and friends, provided a snapshot of the wide range of GOP sentiment about Trump. While most are eager to keep Clinton out of the White House, Trump keeps giving many of them pause, the latest example being his comments that a federal judge’s Mexican heritage prevents him from fairly overseeing a lawsuit against him.

Behind closed doors at the summit, Hewlett Packard President Meg Whitman likened Trump to Mussolini and Hitler and suggested she might vote for Clinton. GOP strategists and vocal Trump skeptics Stuart Stevens, Ana Navarro and Kristen Soltis Anderson told attendees to brace for a Clinton White House because Trump doesn’t appeal to growing voter blocs, including Latinos.

“It’s very difficult to envision” how Trump can win, Anderson said in a rare on-the-record session.

House Speaker Paul Ryan squirmed as he was asked how he could support Trump after denouncing the candidate’s comments about the judge. He demurred, as he did during

AP photo

Republican presumptive presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks during a rally Friday in Richmond, Va. Whitman’s Trump tirade, saying his leadership position means he must convey the will of Republican representatives, not just his own.

Spencer Zwick, Romney’s former finance chairman and the current one for Ryan, tried to navigate the complex terrain between the two men, the former presidential nominee and his running mate.

“I would love to see the Republican Party come together,” Zwick said. “At the same time, with comments like the one Donald Trump have made recently, I don’t subscribe to that type of rhetoric. And I’m not an elected official. I don’t have to make an endorsement.

There’s no pressure.”

Yet many Republicans at the summit want to find a way – and some can’t.

“For me to jump in, this pivot has to come.

We’re still in primary mode, I guess because it has a reality TV feel. But the pivot has to happen, and it’s not,” said John Rakolta Jr., a former fundraiser and family friend of Romney who lives in Michigan. “I’m an optimist by nature, and I keep hoping and hoping and hoping that there will be a reason to support him.”

Lanhee Chen, Romney’s former policy director, had been feeling the same way – until recently.

“The last two weeks have given me serious doubts as to whether he could beat Hillary Clinton,” said Chen, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. He said he is particularly bothered by Trump’s personal attacks on Romney, but also sees red flags in Trump’s comments about the judge and seeming unwillingness to build out his campaign infrastructure.

And there were those now firmly on Team Trump. Anthony Scaramucci, a New York investor, and Andy Puzder, a California fastfood chain executive, shook the money trees for their candidate. “This is not a rabidly anti-Trump crowd,” Scaramucci said.

BUSINESS

The goodness of Cheerios’ Sacagawea dollar Dear Mr. Berko: I read your column about the Quaker Oats land certificates and wish I had kept mine. One of the guys at the shop where I work (we all read and discuss your column) seems to remember that Cheerios once stuffed cereal boxes with Sacagawea dollars and says some of those coins are now worth several thousand dollars. He says he remembers finding such a coin in his Cheerios box. He thinks he put it in his sock drawer, but he can’t find it. He also thinks it was in a presentation holder.

What do you know about this? – HG, Vancouver, Wash.

Dear HG: Sacagawea was the young

Shoshone Indian woman who, between 1804 and 1806, successfully led the famous Lewis and Clark expedition through the unchartered American interior to the Pacific Northwest and safely back again.

In December 1999, the U.S. Mint began minting $1 gold-colored coins dated 2000, using the motif of Sacagawea.

Conceived by artist Glenna Goodacre, the obverse of the Cheerio dollar depicts Sacagawea carrying Jean Baptiste, her

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko infant son, on her back. The reverse side shows an eagle in flight, and that was designed by U.S. Mint engraver Thomas Rogers Sr. These coins were not released to the Federal Reserve Bank till late January 2000. However, via a special promotion (of 5,500 coins) between the U.S. Mint and General Mills (GIS-$64), some Cheerios devotees began finding the Sacagawea dollars inside their cereal boxes in early January of that year. One out of every 2,000 Cheerios boxes contained a gold-colored coin, and 1 in 4,400 boxes contained a certificate redeemable for 100 Sacagawea dollars.

A payment of 5,000 of these dollars with a special finish was given to Goodacre for her obverse design. Unlike the Sacagawea dollars in circulation, these coins were struck on burnished planchets, giving them a prooflike appearance. Because Goodacre wanted

her presentation coins to be preserved and permanently identified, she had her 5,000 coins certified and sealed by Independent Coin Graders. Goodarce then sold 250 (one at a time) of those dollars for $200 each and netted $50,000 for her work. Today, each of those Goodacre Cheerios dollars is worth somewhere between $6,500 and $9,000.

Then, in 2005, several numismatists began to notice a difference between the mass-produced Sacagawea dollars and the Sacagawea Cheerios dollars. All Sacagawea dollars had Rogers’ eagle on the reverse; however, on the Cheerios dollars, the U.S. Mint struck the eagle’s tail feathers with a higher definition.

On the Cheerios dollars, the tail feathers have deep veins and there’s a raised central shaft on the center feather. But on the coins struck for circulation, the details on the feathers are smoothed down and the shaft on the central feather is incused.

Well, what may not seem like much of a difference became a big difference because all U.S. coins that vary from the original mass-produced strike

are exciting and important news to collectors. And because only 5,500 of these Sacagawea dollar coins have the variant (more than a billion coins were produced by the U.S. Mint), they are considered rare, and that makes them valuable. Most of the coins were taken from the cereal boxes and used as common currency to purchase candy, drinks or snacks and became part of the general circulation, whereas others were just tossed and lost. It’s estimated that fewer than 800 of these Cheerios dollars are accounted for.

In 2007, a mint-condition Cheerios dollar was auctioned for $11,500. Today, some nine years later, collectors estimate that the rare Sacagawea Cheerios dollar could auction for between $22,000 and $30,000. And if the lucky stiffs who got a certificate for 100 Cheerios dollars kept their coins, they’d be worth between $2.2 million and $3 million.

OUR VIEW

New overtime rules will hurt workers President Ronald Reagan was famous for saying, “The nine most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’ ” Another Reaganism might be appropriate after the U.S. Department of Labor announced its new rules governing salaried workers and overtime: “There you go again.”

In one fell swoop, the Labor Department threw a massive federal monkey wrench into how small and medium-sized businesses typically operate, which has left them scrambling to figure out how to comply by Dec. 1, when the rule takes effect.

Specifically, the Labor Department’s new rule deals with overtime exemptions.

The salary threshold for overtime pay basically will be doubled from $23,660 (established in 2004) to $47,476.

So, those who are salaried and earn less than $47,476 a year will become eligible for overtime pay, regardless of their duties.

The labor department sees the new rule as a boost to salaried workers who routinely work more than 40 hours a week.

Such employees typically are found in restaurants, retail stores, landscaping and moving companies, The Associated Press reported. In all, about 4.2 million salaried workers would be affected.

However, the government’s action won’t necessarily raise the income of those millions of Americans.

Just as in physics, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction – otherwise known as the law of unintended consequences.

Business owners can’t just magically conjure up more revenue to pay their employees more money.

Instead, they might react by converting more of their workers to part time.

They might react by reducing available hours for employees.

They might react by reducing some salaried workers to hourly status, which more than a few employees might interpret as a comedown.

U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger, R-Channahon, opposes the new rule. He co-sponsored a bill in the House to nullify it.

“Unfortunately, I believe this requirement will ultimately cause salaried employees to revert to hourly employees and lose benefits they would otherwise enjoy,” Kinzinger said.

Businesses don’t like uncertainty. They also don’t like huge changes. The magnitude of the salary threshold increase certainly was a shocker.

One area inadequately addressed includes various differences in businesses that will be impacted by the new rule. A salary threshold of $47,476, applied across the board, seems just like something someone from the government’s One Size Fits All Department would promulgate.

Fair compensation is one thing.

A blanket rule that shakes up how thousands of small businesses do business is quite another.

Government officials might protest that they’re only trying to help.

Hah! There they go again.

Alternate revenue bonds in D-54 will not increase property tax rates I am sure you are all aware that we, the Board of Education of Morris Elementary School District 54, made the very difficult decision to close Shabbona Middle School this fall and move all students Pre-K through eighth grade into White Oak Elementary School.

I am also sure you are aware that the district is intending to issue $700,000 in alternate revenue bonds to do a roof repair and expand the parking lot at White Oak Elementary School. There is some misinformation circulating in the community and we would like everyone to know the facts.

The decision to close SMS was made in an effort to lower our costs without harming the teaching and learning that goes on in our classrooms.

The move to White Oak was made with our students in mind. We are forced to lower costs due to our financial situation, but we lowered costs without losing one teacher.

VIEWS Jerry White The closing of Shabbona Middle School will reduce the district’s large deficit by an estimated $400,000 annually.

None of our board members or staff wanted to house all of our students Pre-K through eighth-grade into one building, but we all know that there are many academically successful schools that house Pre-K through eighth grade in one building (in fact, there are three located right here in Morris).

Our board views its primary obligation to the community is to provide a quality academic experience for our students (and parents), but we also have an obligation to all of our taxpayers. Ultimately our goal is to provide high-quality, affordable education for every child in our

school community.

It is no secret that our district has experienced significant financial problems.

In fact, some of these problems date back to the 1980s, but since the district’s largest taxpayer (Collins Station) left the area, roughly 10 years ago, our financial problems have multiplied. The Collins Station move made it impossible for the board to pay off its existing bond debt (associated with building White Oak Elementary School) without raising the district property tax rate to unreasonable levels ($4 tax rates and higher). To complicate matters, the district is running unsustainable operating deficits. My colleagues on the board and I volunteered to serve on the board to help solve the financial problems without hurting our students and their academic program; these decisions are steps in the right direction.

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.

For Bella, and every other girl in America Bella is 8 years old. A second-grader. And this year she and her classmates had to choose which famous person they wanted to become. She decided on being Hillary Clinton.

This column is dedicated to you, Bella. You must feel quite good you chose to be Hillary Clinton for your famous person. And, I believe, you must have tons of questions about how she has become a major party nominee and, if American voters are willing, president of the United States of America.

I’m going to imagine the questions on your mind, Bella, and answer them. Here goes:

Is Hillary a nice person?

Yes. Here’s what Peter Doau, a former staffer of Clinton’s, said about her recently: “On a Sunday morning 10 years ago, a week after I joined Hillary’s team, there were reports of trouble in Lebanon (where I grew up). When my phone rang early that morning I wasn’t sure what to expect. It wasn’t a family member or a friend. It was Hillary Clinton, calling to make sure my relatives were OK. We spoke briefly and I hung up stunned at the empathy and compassion from someone I had met only a week before. In every encounter with Hillary since then, personal or professional, the same person who called me that morning shines through.”

Is she the opposite of Bernie Sanders?

Oh, no, honey. They are both people persons. They share a passion for change. Like Bernie, she believes in economic equality and that

The district intends to pay for the bonds by using the Morris TIF revenues, and as a result this bond issuance will not increase the district’s property tax rate.

As stated initially, the $700,000 is needed to complete necessary work

VIEWS Donna Brazile everybody should have the freedom to express their talents. Everyone should be able to go as far as their skills, hard work and talents will take them.

Some of my classmates say Hillary is dishonest. That hurts my feelings. What do you say?

It seems like campaigning is both awful and awfully hard. I suppose once you’re elected that’s when you have fun.

No, Bella. It’s the opposite.

Campaigns, run right, can be fun.

They don’t have to be filled with smears and insults to people’s looks or race or gender. Once a campaign ends, the real work begins. As Carl Bernstein writes in “A Woman in Charge,” the biggest difference between Hillary and others in politics is a “willingness to participate in the drudgery of government rather than simply direct policy from Olympian heights.” Hillary knows issues inside and out, Bella. She rolls up her sleeves and works with legislators and citizens groups to hammer out agreements – to make the best laws.

Bella, when you run for office, you will have to develop the hide of a rhinoceros. Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and virtually every other leader this country has ever had all have faced similar accusations. It goes with the territory.

The best answer I know comes from Jill Abramson, who was the first female executive editor of The New York Times. She’s a tough cookie who has investigated the Clintons over the years. Here’s what she says: “I would be ‘dead rich’ ... if I could bill for all the hours I’ve spent covering just about every ‘scandal’ that has enveloped the Clintons. As an editor, I’ve launched investigations into her business dealings, her fundraising, her foundation and her marriage. As a reporter, my stories stretch back to Whitewater. I’m not a favorite in Hillaryland. That makes what I want to say next surprising.

“Hillary Clinton is fundamentally honest and trustworthy.”

Abramson also says, “Based on what I know about the emails, the idea of her being indicted or going to prison is nonsensical.”

She was a change-maker, Bella, and still is. She was an idealist, and still is. Just recently, someone found a recording of her commencement speech at Wellesley College, which then was an all-women’s college. She was chosen to speak for everyone in her graduating class.

She could just as easily be speaking about today: “I would like to talk about reality,” she said. About how our “perception of it is that it hovers often between the possibility of disaster and the potentiality for imaginatively responding to men’s needs.

“There’s a very strange conservative strain that goes through a lot of New Left, collegiate protests that I find very intriguing because it har-

at White Oak Elementary School. The roof work we intend to complete is recommended by our architect and will actually save the district’s taxpayers an estimated $1.4 million over the next few years. According to our architects, if we do not do this work in the next year or so, the existing roof at White Oak Elementary School will need to be torn off and replaced within the next five years.

The cost for an entire roof replacement is estimated to be approximately $1.8 million. The plan we are following will be to add another layer

of rubberized coating directly on the existing roof while it is still under warranty; this will extend the roof warranty another 15 years.

The second project will involve a parking lot expansion at White Oak Elementary School. The parking lot expansion is estimated to cost an estimated $400,000.

This expansion is necessary to provide additional parking for parents that visit the school and attend school functions. Please remember that this $700,000 will not increase the district’s property tax rate. Again,

What was Hillary like when she was a student?

kens back to a lot of the old virtues.”

Are we finally being fair to women, now that Hillary is the first woman to get a major party’s nomination?

Let me quote Jess McIntosh, Bella. She works for Hillary. She says, “Having women in government isn’t about ‘fairness.’ It’s about making better laws.”

Hillary has seen, and made, a lot of change. She got her start in politics reforming the nominating system in 1972. She’s still looking at reform, saying we should look at, and have a conversation about, the role of unpledged superdelegates. By the way, Bella, I am a superdelegate.

But there is so much work, so much change, to bring about in so many areas, Bella. Women, in general, and especially women of color, are paid less than men for the same work. We’re the only developed country in the world without paid family leave – of any kind. Women’s health access is still not secure, and women are still unrepresented in government.

Is Hillary the best woman candidate who could have won the nomination?

Bella, she’s not only the best female candidate, she’s the best candidate. Period. As President Obama stated in his endorsement: She’s one of the most qualified ever to run for the White House.

CLASS 4A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP: PROVIDENCE 10, MUNDELEIN 3

Providence rallies to beat Mundelein for third straight title

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The record third time indeed was another charm.

And once again, as has been the pattern throughout the playoffs, the Providence Catholic baseball team showed how exciting late-game heroics can be.

Coach Mark Smith’s Celtics scored five times in the fifth inning Saturday night to erase a 3-1 deficit and went on to beat Mundelein, 10-3, in the Class 4A state championship game before a huge crowd at Silver Cross Field.

Providence thus becomes the first team ever to win three consecutive state championships. Mike Madej, Jackson Stulas, Zach Pych and Jim Jeffries all were prominent contributors to all three titles.

But they were not alone in securing title No. 3. Jackson Dvorak delivered the go-ahead two-run single in the fifth inning and left-hander Tyler Zarembka pitched three innings of one-hit, shutout relief to gain the victory. He replaced starter Connor Hilty after a walk leading off the fourth inning.

Noah O’Brien and side-winding Matt Trzesniewski closed it out in the seventh, and the Celtics celebrated a record that is not likely to be chal-

lenged for a while – unless they themselves continue the streak in 2017.

Mundelein got off to a fast start, scoring three runs in the top of the first. Nick Stricker began the rally with a half-swing single to right on Hilty’s first pitch. Brendan Murphy singled with one out and Reese Dolan drew a two-out walk to load the bases.

Drew Breitenreiter then hit a high hopper to third, and the Celtics’ Zach Pych could not find the handle as a run scored to make it 1-0. Brett Parola followed with a two-run single for a 3-0 lead.

Providence got a run back in the bottom of the first. Kevin Fitzgerald singled leading off, but was picked off first. Jackson Stulas singled and went all the way to third on a errant pickoff throw. He scored on Madej’s groundout.

Pych led off the second inning with a single, and with one out stole second and continued to third on an errant throw but the Celtics were unable to cash in.

The bottom of the third inning featured Providence near-misses. Colin Airola walked leading off, and with one out, Stulas dropped a bunt down the third-base line. However, Mundelein pitcher Wil Michalski made an out-

standing off-balance throw to nail him for the second out.

Madej then beat out a hustling infield hit with a head-first dive to put runners on first and third. Matt Waznis then lofted a long fly ball to right, but it came down in the glove of right fielder Reese Dolan as he stepped he took a couple of steps onto the warning track.

Hilty walked the leadoff hitter in the top of the fourth and was relieved by left-hander Tyler Zarembka. He picked off the runner and knocked down the next two hitters.

Pych began the bottom of the fourth with a double to left and Jackson Dvorak followed with an infield single on a high hopper to third, leaving runners on first and second. Mundelein replaced Michalski with left-hander Zach Zentz. He struck out the next two hitters and finished off the inning with a fielder’s choice.

The bottom of the fifth inning provided to be the Celtics’ time to shine.

Kevin Fitzgerald walked. Stulas bunted for a hit and when Zentz threw the ball away, the Celtics were left with runners on second and third.

Madej singled home a run to make it 3-2. Waznis was hit by a pitch and so was Pych, driving home the tying run.

Mundelein coach Todd Parola claimed Pych leaned into the pitch and should not have been awarded first base, but to no avail.

Dvorak followed with a two-run single to center off the shortstop’s glove, and Providence had its first lead, 5-3.

Zentz looked like he was going to escape with no further damage, but a two-out wild pitch scored a run to make it 6-3.

The Celtics tacked on four insurance runs in the sixth, highlighted by Madej’s RBI single and Tom Kelley’s two-run triple. Kelley added the exclamation point with an incredible throw to third from deep right field as he gunned down a Mundelein runner trying to advance after the catch.

Madej finished with three hits and three RBIs. Stulas, Pych and Dvorak added two hits apiece.

In Friday’s 7-4 semifinal victory over Plainfield North, Providence scored three times in the seventh inning to break a 4-4 tie. Stulas delivered the go-ahead sacrifice fly and Waznis singled home two insurance runs.

That’s the kind of run it was for the Celtics. Late-game heroics, over and over again, en route to a third straight state championship.

The Green Machine, and how.

Providence completes historic three-peat

But in a scenario that we’ve seen played out often, the Celtics rallied with a five-run fifth inning to grab Curt a 6-3 lead, and they went on to beat Herron Mundelein, 10-3, for the three-peat.

To get back to this point, Providence had already become the first of JOLIET – If someone wanted to the four programs that won back-towrite the perfect ending to one of the greatest three-year runs in IHSA back titles to not only return to state but assure itself of another championhistory, the table was set almost ship game appearance. perfectly.

mark.

The Tigers had extra motivation by becoming not only their school’s first state champion but also the initial title winner in an elimination sport in the entire Plainfield school district.

With them dispatched, the last obstacle was unheralded Mundelein, which moved to 31-9 after rallying from a 4-1 deficit to surprise St. Charles North, 10-4, in the other semifinal.

Even though the Mustangs had just knocked off the favored North Stars, the matchup on paper seemed to suggest that Providence was the clear favorite.

On the one hand, you had a tradition-rich program with four titles that was trying to make history with a three-peat. And also happened to compete in the state’s best conference in the sport, the Chicago Catholic League’s Blue Division.

Meanwhile, the Mustangs had won 570 games for veteran coach Todd Parola but had only been to state twice before, with their previous-best a fourth place in 2002.

Like Plainfield North, Mundelein

was hoping to become the first team from its school to win a state title in an elimination sport. Only one other squad had ever advanced to a championship game.

With Providence’s impressive playoff run providing a huge intangible, it looked like the Celtics might be poised to claim their easiest title win of the three.

In 2014, they scored twice in the seventh to pull away from conference rival St. Rita to capture a 4-1 win. And then last year, they needed eight innings before rallying for a 6-5 victory over another CCL Blue foe, Mount Carmel, to pick up their second title.

Four players were on the roster for all three championship teams – Jim Jeffries, Mike Madej, Zack Pych and Jackson Stulas. Others who were squad members during the past two seasons included Colin Airola, Connor Creed, Jackson Dvorak, Kevin Fitzgerald, Shawn Harper, Connor Hilty, Tom Kelley, Noah O’Brien, Brendan O’Hara, Kyle Struck, Matt Trzesniewski and Matt Waznis.

40 CLASS 3A BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP: LEMONT 10, SPRINGFIELD 0

Lemont reigns in 3A baseball world

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For the second time in three seasons, Lemont is king of the Class 3A baseball world.

The Indians scored seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to go up 9-0, and Angel Salinas ended it with a bases-loaded walkoff single in the sixth as Lemont whipped Springfield, 10-0, in the championship game Saturday before 1,615 fans at Silver Cross Field.

Senior right-hander Garrett Acton (7-2), a member of coach Brian Storako’s pitching staff when the Indians won the 2014 Class 3A championship with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Springfield Sacred Heart-Griffin, tossed a three-hitter while striking out four and walking three.

“The first one was a little more exciting at the end,” said senior first baseman Nick Wisz, a regular on the 2014 team. “This one feels the same, though.

Whenever you win state, it feels great all the same.”

“The 2014 team set the tone and these kids ran with it,” Storako said. “We knew early on that this team was talented. We knew we had pitching. But we were playing quite a few juniors, and it took awhile to get it going. The juniors had to step up, and the senior leadership showed the way.”

Lemont (30-9) hit the ball well off the get-go, but the infield defense for Springfield (34-6) was up to the challenge early.

The Senators turned double plays to end the Lemont half of the first and second innings.

The Indians’ Christian Krakar walked leading off the bottom of the third, and he created the game’s first run with aggressive baserunning. His long leadoffs forced a balk that sent him to second, and he advanced to third when Springfield starter Vishakh Patel threw the ball into center field on a pickoff attempt. Salinas, the No. 9 hitter, then delivered a sacrifice fly to center field for a 1-0 lead.

“Angel has had a ton of huge hits,” Acton said of Salinas. “Since last year he has improved a ton. He has become a very good hitter.”

Wisz, who hit the ball hard all day and finished with two hits, singled to open the Lemont fourth. Acton walked, and after a fielder’s choice, Ryan Sublette, who also contributed two of the Indians’ nine hits, delivered a long RBI single to center field for a 2-0 lead.

Acton made the big pitch of the game in the fifth inning. Springfield had runners on first and second with two outs when left-handed hitting Damian Pierce stepped up. He arrived at Silver Cross Field with a .438 batting average, 31 ex-

The Lemont baseball team celebrates after winning the Class 3A state title, defeating Springfield, 10-0. tra-base hits and 46 RBIs. But Acton induced a ground ball to second base to end the threat.

“Pierce can swing it, but I’ll take Garrett in that moment,” Storako said. “The way I always said with him and Ryan (Sublette, who pitched Friday’s 10-2 semifinal win over Saint Viator) that if they throw strikes, they will get people out.”

“He’s a fantastic hitter,” Acton said of Pierce. “I wanted to keep the fastball away against him, and that’s what I did in that spot. He rolled it over.”

Lemont put the game away in the bottom of the inning as seven walks, three errors and Joe Kelley’s RBI single produced seven runs and a 9-0 lead.

The celebration of a second state baseball championship for the Indians was moments away.

“The big cushion felt great,” Acton said. “It was nice to be one of the main guys this year. But the experience of both state championships couldn’t be better, all the great teammates off both teams. Two rings in three years – what a feeling.”

The Indians were confident with Acton on the mound.

“Garrett has been very dominating all year, and it was nothing different today,” Wisz said. “Him shutting them down all day helped us with our bats so

much.”

Lemont’s pattern throughout the playoffs has included a big inning late in games.

“We haven’t always come out hot in the playoffs, but we have always plugged away,” Storako said. “Like we always tell the kids, each game is a process, each at-bat is a process. You go at it that way and good things happen.”

Two state titles in three years – good things indeed are happening.

SEMIFINAL VICTORY

Lemont suffered through a shaky first inning and trailed Saint Viator, 2-0, Friday morning. After that, however, it was all Indians.

Sublette, a junior right-hander, pitched a complete-game two-hitter, highlighted by 14 strikeouts, and he received offensive support up-and-down the Indians’ lineup in a 10-2 victory.

Sublette (9-1) allowed a walk, a hit batsman and an RBI single to Saint Viator’s first three hitters. Also in the mix was an errant throw back to him from catcher Casey O’Brien, which had brought home the first run. From the second through the sixth inning, however, the Lions managed only two baserunners.

“I felt like I was trying to get jacked before the game and I was overthrowing

at first,” Sublette said. “I used my body more as the game went on and felt more comfortable.”

Lemont’s offense came to life after Saint Viator starter Kevin Napoleon struck out the side in the first inning.

Acton cracked a long would-be double to left-center field leading off the second but was called out when the Lions appealed that he had missed first base.

Salinas ignited a three-run third inning that put the Indians ahead to stay with a hard infield single. Mike Wisz’s RBI single that make it 2-1, and Austin Tibble dropped a two-out, two-run single into center field on a 1-2 pitch to knock in the tying and eventual winning runs.

Dom Connolly drilled a triple to deep center field to open the fifth inning and scored on an errant throw by the catcher after a strikeout to make it 4-2.

Then came Lemont’s six-run explosion in the bottom of the sixth that put it away. Included were Salinas’ RBI single, O’Brien’s mammoth three-run homer, Acton’s solo homer and Sublette’s run-scoring double.

Salinas and Joe Kelley each had two of Lemont’s 10 hits. The day, though, belonged to Sublette. He finished with four walks – two each in the first and seventh innings – and two hit batters to go with 14 strikeouts, half of which were called third strikes.

42 IHSA CLASS 4A BASEBALL FINALS: ST. CHARLES NORTH 6, PLAINFIELD NORTH 5

Plainfield North takes fourth to cap historic season

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It wasn’t the finish it was looking for, but Plainfield North’s baseball team obviously has little to be disappointed about concerning their historic season.

The Tigers closed out a 33-5 campaign by dropping a 6-5 decision to St. Charles North on Saturday in the third-place game of the IHSA Class 4A finals at Silver Cross Field.

Coach John Darlington’s Tigers not only earned their initial state appearance, but became the first program at their school to win a trophy for a topfour finish. In addition, they became the initial Plainfield school district team to ever capture a trophy in an elimination tournament.

“It’s hard now, but in three weeks, they’ll look back and say, ‘What a great season,’ ” Darlington said. “Our senior class has been outstanding. They’ve won 63 games in two years, a supersectional, two sectionals, two conference titles and two regionals. That’s a pretty good accomplishment as a group.

They’re good kids and we haven’t had any issues for two years. I liked their

drive to be good and their drive to win.

They knew that it takes a little extra.

And you can tell by the way that we’ve played the last two years that they’re pretty good baseball players, too.

“We’re obviously going to miss this senior group and we’ll have to rebuild a lot. The whole group has been tremendous for us. At the end of last year getting beat in the supersectional the way that we did, to come back and have the pitching performance from Tyler (Garrity) on Monday and for us to get over that next hump. I’m proud of our guys and of our coaches. We put a lot of time in and they’ve worked their butts off in the offseason, and it showed.”

The Tigers looked like they had taken control after scoring five times in the fourth to overcome a 2-0 deficit. Jake Dunham started things with a single before Josh Garner doubled to left to move courtesy runner Chase Jamison to third. Tyler Garrity (2 for 3) got a two-run single to left to tie the score at 2.

Connor Peplow ran for Garrity, and then Josh Heckman reached on an error. Alex Steinbach singled in one run, Heckman scored on a wild pitch and

the same game at Crestwood to earn their first state trip. Garrity threw a gem that day and was hoping to do the same in the season finale, and held the lead when he exited after 41/3 innings.

“Coming out today, I thought that I could do what I did on Monday,” Garrity said. “I let a couple of balls get up and they took advantage of that. And after I came out, things just kind of blew up on us. It hurt losing yesterday, and we should have come out today a lot better. This was a special group of guys to play with, and I’ve been friends with these guys forever.”

The Tigers graduate 11 seniors who helped to raise the bar significantly for their program. The closeness of the players and their work ethic are qualities that won’t be seen often.

“I just want to thank God for these teammates,” Dunham said. “These are some awesome guys, and it was our team chemistry that brought us this far. These were some of my best friends that I was playing with and I’ll miss them. I’ve never seen a group of guys work so hard and guys have pushed me as much as I’ve pushed them, and that’s really what’s brought us this far.”

Zach Jarosz hit a sacrifice fly to make it a 5-2 contest.

But the North Stars (33-7) responded with a four-run fifth to move back in front for good.

John Legare led the North Stars by going 3 for 3 with three RBIs while Luke Corcoran went 2 for 3 with two RBIs. Blake Saltsman also went 2 for 2 for the winners. Westin Muir got the victory after not allowing a hit and striking out four in two innings.

Darlington was disappointed his team didn’t get the chance to bat in the seventh inning. But after the start time was moved back because of the warm temperatures, it was decided no inning would start after 6:30 p.m.

“If you look at the whole view, we got to the state semifinals and we still had something to play for in the thirdplace game, so it was just an awesome experience,” Garner said. “We had a great group of guys and we all got along and worked hard. I hope that in the next few years I’ll get to sit back down in the stands and watch North play at state.”

Cuthbert, Duffy help Royals end 8-game skid, beat Sox

By MATT CARLSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Cheslor Cuthbert hit a pair of solo home runs, Danny Duffy pitched six shutout innings and the Kansas City Royals ended an eight-game losing streak, beating the White Sox, 4-1, on Saturday.

Kendrys Morales also homered as the World Series champion Royals stopped their longest slide since May 2013.

The Sox lost for the 21st time in their last 29 games after back-to-back wins.

Cuthbert connected in the third inning and again in the eighth for his first multihomer game in the majors. He has four home runs this season.

Duffy (2-1) struck out 10 and gave up three

hits. He made his sixth start since rejoining the Royals’ rotation.

Avisail Garcia singled in the Sox’s lone run off reliever Wade Davis with two outs in the ninth.

Jose Quintana (5-7) also struck out 10 in his career-high sixth straight loss. He hasn’t won since May 8 vs. Minnesota when he had a league-leading 1.38 ERA. Quintana gave up all three homers and walked none in eight innings.

The Royals hit three solo home runs for the second straight day. They moved ahead of the Sox by a half-game in the AL Central.

Duffy escaped a second-and-third, one-out jam in the first by striking out Todd Frazier and retiring Brett Lawrie on a lineout.

Gordie Howe, the gritty and mighty ‘Mr. Hockey,’ dies at 88

By LARRY LAGE

The Associated Press DETROIT – Gordie Howe worked all his remarkable life to earn the respect and awe that came with being “Mr. Hockey.”

The Canadian farm boy who developed his brute strength and incredible stamina on the Saskatchewan prairie could put his team ahead with a timely goal or even the score with opponents with his elbows and fists. Away from the rink, Howe worked just as hard to become one of the most likable superstars in any sport.

If there is anything hockey reveres, it’s hard work. Few brought more of that to the game than Howe, whose boundless blend of talent and toughness made him the NHL’s quintessential star during a career that lasted into his 50s.

He died Friday at age 88 surrounded by family members after a storied Gordie Howe career that included four Stanley Cup championships.

“Mr Hockey left peacefully, beautifully, and w no regrets,” Murray Howe said in a text to The Associated Press,

adding that his father died simply of “old age.”

The Detroit Red Wings, Howe’s longtime team, said Howe died in Sylvania, Ohio, at the home of Murray Howe. Funeral arrangements were pending.

Howe shattered records, dropped gloves and threw elbows while helping the Red Wings win four championships. He became an idol for many and is credited with helping the sport attract American fans in a development key to the league’s growth.

“When Gordie came into the NHL, hockey was a Canadian game. He converted it into a North American game,”

former NHL President Clarence Campbell said when Howe retired the first time in 1971 because he was playing with arthritis in his left wrist and for a last-place team.

With finesse and a heavy dose of grit, the Hockey Hall of Famer set NHL records with 801 goals and 1,850 points – mostly with the Red Wings – that held up until Gretzky came along. The Great One himself left no doubt about what he thought of Howe.

“Unfortunately we lost the greatest hockey player ever today, but more importantly the nicest man I have ever met,” Gretzky tweeted.

The Cubs’ Jake Arrieta pitches against the Atlanta Braves during the first inning Saturday in Atlanta.

ATLANTA – Jake Arrieta allowed only four hits in seven strong innings and, backed by four homers, made an impressive return to winning form as the Cubs beat the Atlanta Braves, 8-2, on Saturday.

Arrieta (10-1) allowed two runs in his answer to his first loss of the season. He also had two hits as the Cubs’ offense rolled after being held to four hits in a 5-1 loss to Atlanta on Friday night.

Miguel Montero hit a three-run homer, Kris Bryant hit a two-run shot, and Jason Heyward and Anthony Rizzo also hit homers. Heyward had three hits.

Rizzo returned after sitting Friday night with tightness in his back.

The Cubs (42-18) own baseball’s best record and have won 13 of 17. They have 22 wins by five

or more runs and improved to 38-2 when scoring at least four runs.

Arrieta’s 3-2 loss to Arizona on Sunday was his first since July 25, 2015, and ended a streak of 20 consecutive winning decisions. By beating Atlanta, he improved to 7-0 in seven road starts.

Matt Wisler (2-7) allowed five runs on seven hits, including three homers, in four innings.

Wisler has allowed six homers and 13 earned runs over eight innings in his last two starts. He also gave up three homers in a 12-6 loss at the Dodgers on Sunday and has allowed 12 for the season.

Heyward pulled an inside fastball from Wisler into the right-field seats for his fourth homer in the first inning. Wisler stranded runners on second and third in the third inning before giving up Rizzo’s 14th homer to lead off the fourth. Montero’s three-run homer later in the inning drove in Ben Zobrist and Chris Coghlan, who had singles.

Irad Ortiz Jr., riding Creator, celebrates after winning the 148th running of the Belmont Stakes horse race Saturday in Elmont, N.Y.

HORSE RACING

Creator pulls an upset in the Belmont Stakes

By RICHARD ROSENBLATT The Asssociated Press

NEW YORK – Creator closed with a rush and caught Destin at the wire to win the $1.5 million Belmont Stakes on Saturday, with Preakness winner Exaggerator finishing well back in the field.

The 3-year-old gray colt, trained by Steve Asmussen, came flying down the stretch as Destin tried to hang on to the lead. But it was Creator, who finished 13th in the Derby and skipped the Preakness, who won by a nose. It was the fourth time the Belmont was decided by a nose – the closest possible margin of victory.

Preakness winner Exaggerator was sent off as the 7-5 favorite in the field of 13. He was closer to the lead than usual, but wound up 11th.

A year ago, American Pharoah ran to Triple Crown glory at Belmont Park, but a Triple wasn’t on the line this time.

Nyquist won the Kentucky Derby, but finished third in the Preakness and did not run in the Belmont.

The winning time for the 11/2 miles was 2:28.51.

Creator, ridden by Irad Ortiz, Jr. was one of several closers in the field, and the race set up perfectly for him. Gettysburg was a late addition to the field. Both horses are owned by WinStar Farm, with Gettysburg a front-runner who could set the stage for a dramatic finish.

That’s what happened, too. Gettysburg dropped back, and Destin took charge well into the stretch on a hot, sticky day at Belmont Park. With Ortiz urging him on, Creator stormed into

contention after running near the back of the pack and won in the final stride.

Lani, the Japan-based colt with a flighty reputation, ran a strong third after finishing ninth in the Derby and fifth in the Preakness.

Creator, sent off 16-1, returned $34.80, $14.60 and $9.40. Destin, trained by Todd Pletcher, returned $9.40 and $6.20 and Lani paid $6.60.

“I’m glad to see him put that number up; they came to the wire together,” said Asmussen, who will be inducted into racing’s Hall of Fame this summer. “Irad gave him a dream trip. The horse ran super.”

Kent Desormeaux, the Hall of Fame rider aboard Exaggerator, second-guessed his decision to ask his colt to wait behind a slow pace. When he tried to make a move, the colt, trained by his brother, Keith, just didn’t have it.

“I don’t know it there would have been any difference in the outcome,” he said. “When I picked him up at the quarter-pole to try and win the race, there was nothing there.”

The track was a fast one all day, and the rain held off until after the finish when a downpour soaked the track and a crowd much smaller than the 90,000 that showed up for American Pharoah’s Triple Crown.

With the win, Asmussen will go into the Hall of Fame with his first Belmont Stakes win. He won the Preakness twice, with the filly Rachel Alexandra in 2009, and with Curlin in 2007. Earlier in the week, celebrity chef Bobby Flay became a co-owner of Creator along with WinStar.

NASCAR: XFINITY SERIES RACE AT MICHIGAN

Suarez becomes 1st Mexican to win NASCAR national race

By LARRY LAGE

The Associated Press BROOKLYN, Mich. – Daniel Suarez became the first Mexican-born driver to win a NASCAR national race, passing Kyle Busch and holding off one of the sport’s big stars at the Xfinity Series race at Michigan.

“To be able to be an example to bring more people is great,” said Suarez, who moved to the U.S. five years ago.

Daniel Busch led 88 of the 125 Suarez laps in the Menards 250 race Saturday, but couldn’t stay ahead of Suarez for the final two laps.

“I didn’t know Suarez was coming like that,” Busch said. “He had some speed.”

The 24-year-old Suarez is the first nonAmerican to lead any of NASCAR’s three national series in points. He became the first Mexican to win the Xfinity

COLLEGE SOFTBALL Schlattman honored: Miami (Ohio)

University’s Michaela Schlattman was named First-Team All-Mid-American Conference and MAC All-Freshmen Team. The Plainfield Central graduate finished the spring semester with a cumulative GPA of 3.313, the highest GPA ever for a single semester.

Series rookie of the year award last year.

Winning, for the first time, adds quite a feat to his list of accomplishments.

“This is monumental,” said David Wilson, president of Toyota Racing Development Busch, Paul Menard, Erik Jones and Elliott Sadler finished in the top five.

“It couldn’t have been scripted better because he had to beat some heavy hitters,” Wilson said. “He didn’t do it at a stand-alone event.”

Jones raced with “Dave,” instead of his name painted above the driver side window. His father, Dave Jones, died this week at 53 after a short bout with cancer.

“Erik made a point to be in that race car,” Wilson said. “He did it to honor his father.”

Gordie Howe was mentioned during the invocation before the race about 70 miles west of Detroit, where he played much of his career for the Red Wings.

Howe died Friday at 88.

JOLIET – After coming up with a dramatic come-from-behind victory Friday, the Joliet Slammers ended up splitting a pair of Frontier League games against the Traverse City Beach Bums over the weekend.

The Slammers clawed back to get Friday’s 12-10 victory, but then fell 3-1 on Saturday.

In the loss, Marc Flores drove in Charlie White in the top of the first inning to give Joliet a 1-0 lead. Traverse City answered back immediately to tie the game, and later added two runs in the fifth for the win.

Boo Vazquez (2B) and Carter Bell led the offense by both going 2 for 4.

During Friday night’s match-up, the Beach Bums scored eight runs in the bottom of the first inning.

Game over, right? Not so fast.

The Joliet Slammers kept pecking away and they battled all the way back for a 12-10 victory in a game halted after six innings because of weather.

The big blow was Jake Gronsky’s grand slam home run in the sixth inning, which erased a 10-8 deficit and

gave the Slammers the victory.

Joliet had gotten back within 8-6 in the fourth inning, but the Beach Bums scored two more in the bottom of the inning to extend their lead to 10-6. The Slammers then scored twice in the fifth and four in the sixth on Gronsky’s slam to take over.

Vasquez went 3 for 3 and drove in three runs for Joliet. One of his hits was a double. Fronsky also singled and finished with five RBIs. Joe Staley homered and drove in two.

Slammers starter Luke Crumley last two-thirds of an inning and allowed eight runs, seven of which were earned.

Tyler Levine yielded two unearned runs on one hit in 31/3 innings. Winner Brent Choban gave up a hit and struck out three in two scoreless innings.

An opportunist of the giving kind

‘Pet Age’ honors Kristy Boulos with 2016 Women of Influence Award

By DENISE M. BARAN-UNLAND

P

et rescues, women’s heart health, breast cancer and traumatic brain injury.

These are just some of the causes Kristy Boulos, 37, of Homer Glen, has championed on a volunteer level. All have personally touched Boulos in some way, but that’s not the overall reason why she supports them.

“There’s just so many great opportunities to help people or help animals,” Boulos said. “If I have the time and came make time, it makes you feel good. It’s also a nice thing to do.”

According to a news release from Matrix Partners Ltd. in Chicago, “Pet Age,” a business-to-business publication, recently named Boulos, who is vice president of Matrix Partners, a 2016 Women of Influence winner.

Boulos was one of 25 professionals to receive the recognition. Her accomplishments were profiled in the May issue of “Pet Age.” But where did Boulos learn to be so generous with her time? And where does she find the time?

Kristy Boulos of Homer Glen poses with two of her pets, Bella (left) and Cody.

Learning to give

How to help

Boulos learned giving from her parents, Don and Sue Tomala of Homer Glen. For instance, Don checks up on a certain homeless man in downtown Chicago and even brings treats for the man’s dog.

Sue – who is a multiple cancer survivor – often brings small gifts to staff at the nursing home that took care of her parents, Boulos said. As children, Boulos and her sister, Beckie Tomala of Chicago, found homes for stray cats.

In fact, two of Boulos’ current pets came from TLC Animal Shelter in Homer Glen. One is Dumpster Willie, a cat who was found in a dumpster 17 years ago. The other is Bella, a mixed-breed dog who Boulos calls a Heinz 57 pup because she has “a little of everything.”

On a wider level, Boulos has volunteered her time for various events that benefit pets. For instance, she helped secure sponsors and in-kind donations for the Chicago Internet Cat Video Festival, which benefited several rescue organizations. She even got some co-workers involved, too.

Want to make a difference in the world, but time and resources are slim? Kristy Boulos said “even little things are helpful” and offered these suggestions: • Tossing out your dog’s old collar and leash? Donate them to a rescue instead. Ditto for old towels and blankets.

• Order a double portion at lunch. Give half away to a homeless person.

• Buy a cup of coffee or a $10 gift card for a homeless person.

• Pick up some pet food and take it to an animal shelter.

“We all went to the event and wore cat ears to show our support,” Boulos said. “It was a nice time.”

Upping her generosity

When Boulos was in college, Sue was diagnosed with breast cancer. So in 2000, Boulos founded “In the Pink,” a team that participates in Chicago’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer.

To date, Boulos’ team has raised

nearly $50,000 for the cause, she said. Team members include family, friends, co-workers and various people affected by breast cancer Boulos has met along the way.

“It grows every year, not necessarily a good thing, but it’s nice to have a network of support,” Boulos said.

She also helps market the annual Nick-A-Palooza, a music benefit to raise money for traumatic brain injury. In 2003, Nick Kot died as a result of a traumatic brain injury he sustained three years earlier. The Kots were longtime friends of Boulos’ family, she said.

Boulos said she makes posters, writes and sends news releases to the media, and attends the event. She said the Nick Kot Charity for TBI provides education and resources for people with traumatic brain injury nationwide.

“It even sends people to brain injury camp,” Boulos said, And heart health? That passion actually grew from Boulos’ first job out of college. From 2001 to 2003, she worked for the Alpha Phi Foundation, where she spoke around the country

educating women on heart disease prevention and treatment, she said.

In that role, Boulos said she also created benefit events to fund research, heart hospital grants and educational programs to improve women’s heart health. Now that Boulos is a volunteer marketing adviser for the foundation, she continues some of those projects on a local level, she said.

Granted, having worked 13 years for her father’s marketing company, Matrix Partners, Boulos often is able to combine her role as vice president with asking for donations from clients, which is good for business and good for nonprofit causes.

What’s remarkable is that Boulos’ efforts don’t stop there.

Just the other day, Boulos assembled two raffle baskets – one for the Western DuPage Special Recreation Association and one for Make-A-Wish Foundation. She had to take the time to buy the baskets and the products.

But it sure made her feel good.

“It helps identify who I am,” Boulos said. “I always try to make time for others and try to do the right thing whenever I can.”

SUNDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Keep your wits about you this year.

Compensate for past mistakes by tightening your budget and focusing on your gains. Too much of anything will set you back. Emotions will be difficult to control, leading to uncertainty. Don’t make assumptions; you must look for concrete answers before you take action.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Keep your thoughts to yourself and avoid critical people. Look for ways to bring about positive change to your community or surrounding environment. Don’t meddle in the affairs of others.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Plan to make constructive

changes at home. Expanding a space for creative endeavors or inviting friends over for an entertaining afternoon will result in an interesting encounter.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Focus on what’s important to you, not on what others want. Arguing will be a waste of time. Channel your energy into helping others and furthering your own advancement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Get involved, speak up and share your ideas. Expect to face opposition from someone who demands more of your time. Be prepared to make arrangements to free up some space in your schedule.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23)– Taking a trip or making plans with a loved one will have its challenges, but could also lead to a memorable experience. Don’t be afraid to try something new. Romance is featured.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A proposal will come your way. Weigh the pros and cons and set your sights on initiating the groundwork. Your input will be valued and could lead to a unique opportunity.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Information you receive may sound amazing, but with a little research you’ll be disappointed. You are best off working alone toward a goal you know will bring positive results.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – Your ideas will be well received. Participating in causes that concern you will be emotionally draining, but also satisfying.

Don’t be afraid to use unusual methods to get what you want.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Making home im-

provements and searching for your next project are favored. Preparing a perfect space to enjoy with the people you love will bring you closer together.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – Be careful how you handle others. Someone is likely to balk at your suggestions. Offer incentives if you want everyone to join your quest. Appeal to people’s emotions.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Take the initiative and do something that will get your energy flowing.

Exercise and a nutritious diet will be key. Romance is encouraged.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Listen attentively and be objective, but in the end, do what you know in your heart is right for you. You will learn a lot from talking to others.

How to prepare for travel abroad Dear Dr. K: My wife and I will be traveling outside the country for the first time – exciting but scary. We both have chronic illnesses. What preparation is necessary?

Dear Reader: I’m glad you asked because, with adequate preparation, you should greatly enjoy foreign travel.

First, ask your doctor if he or she has specific concerns or advice for you. If you have diabetes, for example, your blood sugar level is affected not only by how much you eat, but by how much you exercise.

And during vacations, both of these can change substantially. So ask yourself what the impact on your eating and exercise is likely to be from the vacation you have planned.

Since you’re traveling internationally, find out if you need vaccinations or preventive medications. You can check the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website (cdc.gov/travel), or ask your doctor. Try to get your shots four to six weeks before your trip, as some vaccinations need time to kick in.

If you take prescription medications, pack more than enough to last through your trip, in case your return gets delayed. And carry your medications in your carry-on bag, not in your checked luggage in case it gets lost. (The TSA makes an exception to the “no more than 3.4 ounces of liquids or gels” rule for prescription medications and necessary medical supplies.) That’s what I have done ever since, 20 years ago, I spent the first two days of a trip trying to get replacement medicines in a foreign country because my luggage was lost.

Also, carry a list of your medications, with both the generic and brand names.

And bring along a doctor’s note if you have a pacemaker or other implanted device; you may need it when going through security checkpoints.

It can be useful, in advance, to find the

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff name of a doctor or hospital at your destination. There are organizations on the internet that maintain the names of English-speaking doctors with good reputations in many countries around the world.

They also identify trusted hospitals. One example is the International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers.

I can’t personally vouch for the quality and integrity of the doctors and hospitals linked to these organizations. I can say many of the organizations have boards of directors populated by doctors affiliated with major U.S. academic medical centers.

And check with your insurance to see what you need to do in case of an emergency.

In addition to your usual medicines, it can be handy to bring along some additional medicines: • motion sickness pills, if you might suffer from that; • antidiarrheal medication, a laxative and an antacid; • antihistamine and 1 percent hydrocortisone cream for mild allergic reactions; • cold medicine; • medications for pain relief or fever; • antifungal and antibacterial ointments; • lubricating eye drops; • basic first-aid items (adhesive bandages, gauze, elastic bandage, antiseptic, tweezers, scissors, cotton-tipped applicators).

With a little advance planning, you and your wife can enjoy a healthy and safe vacation.

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

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Concern for disabled sister magnified by her cloudy future Dear Abby: My younger sister lives at home with our parents. She suffers from a learning disability as well as some serious mental health issues that are under control. She is a bright, sweet person who – with some help – could become semi-independent. However, my parents have made no serious attempts to encourage this.

She graduated high school 10 years ago and has sought no further education or employment. She spends most of her time in her room playing video games.

I have tried to offer suggestions such as volunteering or joining an organization.

While met with polite positivity, it has inspired no action.

Our parents are getting older, and if my sister isn’t able to live independently, the burden of supporting her will fall on me. I am not permitted to express how frustrating this situation is or how sad it makes me. I am shut out of the conver-

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips sation, even though my future and the future of my own family is involved. I live far away, but keep in touch regularly. What can I say or do to encourage change? – The Bad Sister Dear “Bad” Sister: Your parents are doing your sister no favors by keeping her isolated and dependent. This is a conversation that needs to take place with them in person, rather than from a distance.

You and your husband should meet with them face to face. It’s important you understand what financial provisions they have made for your sister in the event of their deaths, and you should know exactly what your responsibilities

NEIGHBOR

will entail.

Years ago, one of my assistants was in a situation just like yours. His younger brother was mentally disabled and lived with their parents until their deaths. At that point, responsibility for the younger brother was left to the older brother.

The parents had assumed the same kind of living arrangement would continue. However, the gentleman who worked with me understood it would not be healthy for either of them, so he arranged for his brother to move to a group home. There, he was able to participate in activities and, for the first time in his life, to make friends. If your sister doesn’t have the skills to live independently, this may be the solution for her, too.

Dear Abby: I’m retired and living full time in my RV. During the summer months, more folks travel as I do, many of them with children. While I think this

Volunteer.

is a wonderful experience for families, some parents appear to forget there are others in the campground and allow their children, regardless of age, to roam around unsupervised.

This can be dangerous because large vehicles may not see small children dart into their path. Also, while they might know their neighbors at home, you have no idea who might be parked nearby at a campground. This means unless invited, children (and adults) should not cut through occupied sites.

Just like at home, common sense and courtesy will make camping a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. –

Margaret In Sioux Falls Dear Margaret: Amen! Thank you for the reminder to your fellow travelers.
