MORRIS – State Rep. John Anthony, R-Joliet, is resigning his office to take a job in the Illinois Department of Corrections.

House Republican Leader Jim Durkin, R-Western Springs, confirmed in a news release that Anthony would go to IDOC, but did not say in what capacity.

Anthony said he ex- John Anthony pected to issue a statement Friday.

“The next chapter in John’s public career will be in the Illinois Department of Corrections. I know he will approach his new position with the same passion and determination he exhibited in the House of Representatives,” Durkin stated in his news release.

The resignation is to be effective Friday morning, according to Capitol Fax, a Springfield-based daily political newsletter covering Illinois politics.

The online newsletter Thursday posted a letter dated June 16 that appears to be on Anthony’s House of Representatives letterhead and states his intent to resign from office at 8:26 a.m.

Friday.

“As a duly elected Representative of

the Seventy Fifth (75th) Representative District for the 99th General Assembly, I am resigning my elected office, effective June 17, 2016 at 8:26 a.m.,” the letter states.

The letter is addressed to Tim Mapes, clerk of the Illinois House. Also set to receive copies are Durkin, House Speaker Michael Madigan, Secretary of State Jesse White, Comptroller Leslie Munger and Steve Sandvoss at the Illinois State Board of Elections.

Grundy County Republican Chairman Aren Hansen said there will likely be a Republican committee created with chairmen from Grundy, Kendall, LaSalle and Will counties to choose the replacement for Anthony’s seat.

“We have to be fair to the public and will allow a period of time to take applications from those interested in the position,” Hansen said.

Anthony was appointed to be the 75th District’s representative in August 2013 when previous state Rep. Pam Roth, R-Morris, stepped down when she moved to Texas.

In November 2014, Anthony won the seat when he faced off against Democrat challenger Martha Shugart. Anthony was set to face Shugart again in the November general election.

Hansen said the person chosen by the committee will fill in the remainder of Anthony’s term, as well as be

caucused onto the ballot in Anthony’s place to run in the fall general election.

“I can’t say I’m glad to see John go.

He was great to the district, and he is leaving big shoes to fill,” Hansen said.

Durkin, too, praised Anthony’s work as a representative.

“When John was appointed in August of 2013, he immediately hit the ground running and was able to accomplish much in a very short time frame. A former law enforcement officer, John quickly became a go-to guy on issues related [to] criminal justice and corrections. His expertise and insight on these matters will be missed,” Durkin stated in the news release.

Durkin stated Anthony’s biggest achievement was chief co-sponsorship and passage of a bipartisan, comprehensive heroin reform package.

House Bill 1 includes provisions for a prescription return program, expanded use of drug courts, improved data collection and providing a drug that counteracts heroin overdoses to first responders.

“John Anthony worked collaboratively with Republicans and Democrats from both chambers to craft and pass meaningful legislation to combat the growing epidemic of heroin and opioid abuse in Illinois,” Durkin stated in the news release. “His effort is saving lives.”

Quad creates gathering place and a victory light for student achievements

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet Catholic Academy paid homage to its history while starting a new tradition Thursday with a dedication ceremony for its new Heritage Quad, featuring a replica of the iconic Victory Light.

The quad includes walls paying tribute to the three schools that became Joliet Catholic Academy. It provides a new gathering place for students and alumni. And, it brings back the Victory Light, which has survived as a symbol for the school, but now is back for real.

“It’s a great reproduction,” said the Rev. Bob Colaresi, a member of the JCA Board of Members who was a principal at the old Joliet Catholic High School on Broadway Street, where the Victory Light still stands but no longer is used to mark student achievements.

“The physicality of a symbol means everything,” Colaresi said of the new Victory Light.

The Victory Light in a new form, showing the old Victory Light but adding a halo on top to combine the traditions of both Joliet Catholic High School and St. Francis Academy, has been used as a symbol for Joliet Catholic Academy since the schools were combined in 1990.

But there has not been an actual Victory Light structure on the Joliet Catholic Academy campus on Larkin Avenue until now.

The quad has been in place since the fall but in an unfinished state.

It’s still unfinished, Principal Jeffrey Budz told more than 100 people gathered for the dedication ceremony.

Budz said statues of St. Francis and Our Lady of Mount Carmel will complete the quad.

The statues will arrive in time to be blessed at the Mass held when school opens again in late summer, he said.

It’s already been rewarding to see the Heritage Quad in use, Budz said.

“After graduation this year, this place was packed with people taking photos,” he said. “It was a nice, celebratory day.”

Alumni have been stopping on school days, too, to spend time at Heritage Quad and take photographs, fulfilling one of the purpos-

Vigil held in Joliet for victims of Orlando shooting

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The scene behind Silver Cross Field on Thursday in Joliet evening was one of love and unity as dozens gathered to honor the victims of an Orlando, Florida, gay nightclub shooting.

People gathered at East Jefferson Street and Power Alley to embrace, talk and wave LGBT pride flags – as well as the U.S. flag – for a gathering that remembered the 49 people who were killed at the gay nightclub, Pulse, in Orlando.

A similar vigil was also held Thursday evening at Lions Park in Minooka.

Jason Howell, of Chicago Ridge, said he lost a friend, Edward Sotomayor Jr., 34, one of the victims of the shooting.

But what helped ease the pain is seeing not only those who showed up Thursday, but all those worldwide coming together after the tragedy.

“I think the important thing is we as a community need to continue this. Not just when there’s a tragic event,” Howell said.

The gathering had speakers from Universalist Unitarian Church of Joliet, St. John’s United Church of Christ and Treibh na Tintean, as well as Joliet city government. Once they were done,

several people read the names of the 49 people who were killed.

The Rev. Cindi Knox, of St. John’s United Church of Christ, said when she came out as transgender more than 30 years ago, she lost important connections: friends, family and church. While many connections were rebuilt over time, she sought friends, confidantes, mentors and safety at bars.

“So when there is an attack on one of our places of refuge, I feel it deeply,” she said.

Bettye Gavin said it was eloquently stated that Pulse was a place of empowerment, not just a nightclub.

“It was one of awakening and awareness. It was one where people could come and give their voice for their civil rights,” she said.

Knox said to the crowd that each person in time will grieve losses, heal from wounds and reclaim courage to tell the stories of those who died and their own stories.

“We cannot change the world by hiding,” she said. “We can only change the world when we bring our true fabulous queer lives – the people that we were dreamed to be – into a world that has yet to discover that every single life is precious and beautiful and worthy of love.”

Sandy Costa, one of the leaders of Treibh na Tintean, led the crowd in a meditation where they closed their eyes and breathed as she asked them to see a sacred flame and a world where queer people are safe and accepted.

Jesse Rodriguez-Hammond, of Universalist Unitarian Church of Joliet, urged people to fight the National Rifle Association, to remember that it is healthy to grieve for losses and seek mental health assistance if they feel uncertain.

“We need to remember that we have a voice and we need to make it be heard. ... We are powerful when we unite together. Do not let the deaths of our Orlando brothers and sisters be in vain,” he said.

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A former secretary at the Will County Public Defender’s Office who has been charged with stealing and reselling thousands of dollars in printer ink cartridges turned herself in Thursday.

Sheri L. Tucker, 45, of New Lenox, appeared with defense attorney Kenneth Grnacek at the Will County Courthouse to surrender on 13 counts of theft and charges of wire fraud forgery and official

misconduct.

Tucker will be held in the Will County Jail on $750,000 bond, but Grnacek made a motion to have Judge Dave Carlson reduce that amount to $200,000. Grnacek noted Tucker is not accused of any violent acts, has no prior criminal history and has longtime ties to the area.

“But you raise the issue of any judge in this county hearing this case. The public defender’s office is essentially a branch of the courts,” Carlson said.

Tucker was the lone administrative employee assigned to the public defend-

er’s juvenile division at the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center, according to Will County Assistant State’s Attorney Adam Capelli. Tucker ordered toner and printer ink cartridges from the purchasing department, and they were delivered to the office.

Capelli said investigators learned Tucker’s eBay account sold the same kind of cartridges that were ordered and “inventory at the office did not match what was being purchased.”

“The year before she started [in that position], expenditures were $600 to $700.

They were $18,000 her first year and $31,000 the next. A substantial increase,” Capelli said.

Tucker was terminated from the public defender’s office in January 2015.

Capelli told Carlson that prosecutors expect to seek $45,000 to $50,000 in restitution from Tucker.

Carlson said he would rule if Tucker’s bond should be reduced after researching the potential conflict with a Will County judge hearing the case. Grnacek acknowledged the defense may ask for a special prosecutor at a later time.

Joliet commission approves plans for truck terminal on East Side, apartments on West Side

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Plan Commission approved Thursday plans for a truck terminal on the East Side of the city and a 156-unit apartment complex on the West Side.

Both projects will go to the City Council for final approval. The commission votes were 5-0 on both plans.

Estes Express

Estes Express Lines plans the truck terminal for 66.4 acres on the northeast corner of Laraway Road and Route 52, which would be annexed into Joliet.

The company hopes to start construction sometime in 2017, said Angela Maidment, vice president for corporate real estate at Estes.

She said the terminal would employ about 350 workers, including truck drivers, dock workers, mechanics, clerks and managers.

The company plans to have three buildings on the site, including the truck terminal, a maintenance shop and offices. The plan includes about 119,000 square feet of building space. Parking will be provided for 115 tractors, 467 trailers and 298 cars.

Commissioner Don Walden did question the amount of truck traffic to be gen-

One of your most important assets when looking to buy a home may be the relationship you have with your bank.

That’s because while a mortgage broker or other lender might view a mortgage as a oneand-done transaction, your bank already has a financial relationship with you.

“We already know who you are, so it’s a lot simpler, and we’re here to help you with your goals,” said Robyn Edwards, Assistant Vice President of Residential Lending at PeopleFirstBank; which has locations in Joliet and Shorewood.

Working with a local bank that understands your dreams is key, whether you’re downsizing, moving up or buying a first home. For example, “an adjustable interest rate mortgage, with a low payment, might not be the best deal to achieve your goals. If your goal is to buy a home and stay there long term to raise a family, a 30-year fixed rate mortgage might be best. Likewise, if you’re planning on a shorter stay, we can discuss

other alternatives,” Edwards said.

In any case, an important step is to get pre-qualified so you can go house hunting knowing the amount you are qualify to borrow.

First, you should review your assets and liabilities’. Then, collect needed documents, typically two recent pay stubs, the previous two years’ W-2s and tax returns.

erated by the development.

“It’s going to have quite an effect on that area if trucks are going in and out all of the time,” he said.

Joliet attorney Michael Hansen, representing Estes, said trucks would take Route 52 to Briggs Street to Interstate 80.

There will be one entrance for trucks on Route 52, said Joliet Community Development Director James Haller.

Haller also addressed questions from Commissioner Fredrick Moore about the use of an electrified fence for security. He said the electrified fence will back up a perimeter fence on the edge of the property.

“Someone would have to have some

intent of breaking into the company before accessing the electrified fence,” he said, adding that the voltage in the fence will not be lethal.

Tallgrass Estates

Kipling Real Estate Management in Shorewood is planning to construct Tallgrass Estates, a 156-unit apartment complex to be built at McDonough Street at Interstate 55’s Southeast Frontage Road.

Developer Ed Mattox said the units will be more like rental homes than apartments. There will not be common hallways or central laundry facilities, he said. Rent will be just less than $1,400 a month.

Illinois Courts give $335,000 to Will Co. specialty courts Adult Redeploy Illinois will continue for ‘undetermined time’

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Will County’s specialty court programs, designed to decrease the number of nonviolent offenders in prison, will see expanded services in the coming months.

On Thursday, the Will County Board approved supplemental allocation of $335,551.39 from the Administrative Office of the Illinois Courts into the Will County state’s attorney’s specialty court budget.

Will County Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt and Director of Court

Services John Prinzi had been in communication with the AOIC in hopes of using supplemental allocation for specialty courts, which had not received state grant funding from the General Assembly for months. The efforts paid off.

“They deserve applause,” State’s Attorney James Glasgow said Thursday morning during the board meeting.

“It’s a really important program.”

The funding will help expand all specialty courts, which include Adult Redeploy Illinois, drug court, mental health court and veterans court. In the process, it will enable the State’s Attor-

ney’s Office to continue ARI for an undetermined period, office spokesman Charles Pelkie said.

ARI was at risk of shutting down because of lack of state grant funding.

“This is a miracle,” Glasgow said.

Will County’s specialty court coordinator, Julie McCabe-Sterr, said in April that the program would have to be shut down June 30 if the state didn’t provide grant dollars for it. The county was awarded a $302,615 state grant to pay for ARI in the current fiscal year, but it never arrived amid the state budget impasse.

Glasgow said specialty courts help

“There was a fire in the cockloft–attic area where tires were stored that had to be put out,” Carey said.

No one was injured. The blaze caused about $20,000 in damage.

Carey said the fire is not being investigated as suspicious.

“It is still under investigation, but appears to be electrical,” he said.

avoid a common trend with low-level offenders: They get sent to prison, then can’t get hired by employers. He said it creates a cycle. Instead of sitting in a prison cell, under specialty courts would-be inmates receive therapy, counseling and other services with a goal of reintegration into society.

“For the most part, these people are trying their best to maintain jobs and pay taxes,” Glasgow told the board.

Of the almost 200 specialty courts participants, 112 receive additional services through the ARI program. The average annual ARI intervention cost per person is estimated at $4,400; the average annual cost of prison per person is $21,500, according to a 2014 ARI Oversight Board annual report.

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will County Board approved Thursday several recommendations made earlier this month by its Executive Committee.

The board voted in favor of a $28,148 federal Justice Assistance Grant application that could bring heroin education to the curriculum of schools in Lincoln-Way District 210 and Wilmington District 209. The programs were created by the Robert Crown Center for Health Education.

Justice Assistance Grant funds

were used in 2013 to start the Robert Crown heroin education program in Valley View District 365U. The program was introduced in 2015 to Plainfield School District 202. If accepted by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, this would be the fourth straight year the county has used the grant to fight heroin.

The board also approved two intergovernmental agreements that will add two electronic recycling drop-off locations to the county, in addition to the existing one in Lockport. The village of Peotone and New Lenox Township came forward as the second and

third communities to show interest in starting bimonthly electronics recycling events.

Will County Resource Recovery and Energy Division recycling specialist Marta Keane and director Dean Olson continue to move forward after the county’s longtime recycling vendor exited its contract prematurely.

The county has had 13 electronics recycling sites and now will have three.

Board member Bob Howard, D-Beecher, said the move Thursday will help eastern Will County residents get rid of televisions properly.

He added it should lead to other mu-

nicipalities getting on board. “[Keane] and [Olson] carried the torch on this,” Howard said during the meeting. “When problems arose, they were right there. I call them ‘let no TV be left behind.’ ” The board also approved replacement hires for the county’s Supervisor of Assessments Office and Emergency Management Agency. There was discussion June 9 by the Executive Committee whether the positions were necessary, but ultimately the board decided after looking at staffing that they were essential positions for each department.

FRIDAY FISH FRY

Insurance may cover varicose vein treatments SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese If you have varicose veins, and think the cost will be too high to have them treated, contact your insurance company for clarification of benefits. In many cases, varicose vein treatments are covered by insurance, as it is a medical condition that can have very serious consequences if left untreated, and shouldn’t be ignored.

Spider veins, the thin reddish or blue lines you may see on your legs, arms, or even your face, are generally considered a cosmetic issue, and their removal won’t be covered by insurance. But about 25% of patients with spider veins actually have underlying signs of vein disease; in these cases, their removal would be included in insurance coverage, as the treatment would be necessary to remove the root cause of the spider veins. Patients with spider veins should have a full diagnostic exam using an ultrasound to determine their severity and root cause.

For varicose veins, insurance will cover most treatments, as symptoms can include pain and swelling, bleeding, and feelings of heaviness in the legs, going beyond the mere cosmetic issue. Varicose veins can potentially lead to blood clots and other vein-related complications, and should be treated in a timely manner. The effects of the disease can worsen over time.

Medicare C/D plans will cover certain aspects of varicose vein disease when it’s determined to be medically necessary. Pre-authorization is required, so have a consultation with your vein specialist beforehand. Even the treatment of spider veins is considered medically necessary if there is persistent and significant bleeding.

The amount of coverage will vary, based on your insurance plan and provider. Your vein specialist can answer any questions regarding insurance coverage, and will write the necessary medical recommendations for your provider so you can be pre-approved for treatment.

Call The Vein and Laser Center for more information: 1-888-894-VEIN or visit their website: www.veinandlasercenter-us.com

released without being charged.

“Officers found shell casings from two different caliber firearms at the scene. It appears at least 15 to 20 rounds were fired,” Gregory said.

Hilliard, of the 21000 block of South Second Avenue in Maywood, was arrested on charges of aggravated discharge of a firearm and unlawful use of a weapon and booked into the Will County Jail.

D-89 teachers raise concerns about losing resource officer

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – The teachers union at Fairmont School District 89 raised concerns at Wednesday’s board meeting about the safety risks possible after losing a school resource officer.

Bethany Gallegos, the union president, urged the board to reinstate school resource officer James Akers – who also is a Will County sheriff’s deputy – or at least another officer after staff learned the position no longer would be at the district at the end of the school year.

“This year alone we’ve had numbers of gunshots, soft and hard lockdowns, and a gunman being literally in the back of our school while our children were at recess,” Gallegos

said in her union report.

She said the school resource officer has kept teachers safe and contributed to a safe learning environment.

Initially, Gallegos said outgoing Superintendent Sonya Whitaker decided to eliminate the officer position, but board member Jeremy Burns noted the elimination was for a different reason.

He said he spoke with the Will County Sheriff’s Office, which runs a school resource officer program at several schools, and was told the sheriff’s office is scaling back those positions because of limited funding.

“I’ve done some research and we’re looking into finding somebody that can replace [Akers] through the Lockport Police Department,” Burns

said.

Will County Deputy Chief Tom Budde said Thursday that school resource officers from the sheriff’s office work four-year terms and Akers’ term was up this past school year.

He clarified it was purely a manpower issue, after receiving calls from concerned teachers and others at the district alleging the elimination was a “revenge tactic” by Whitaker.

“This was just reallocation of manpower,” he said, noting in the past four years Akers only generated two incident reports regarding minor damage to school property.

The District 89 board has been tense this year and some of the arguments between board members

concerned Whitaker, who recently resigned to become superintendent for Harvey School District 152.

The school resource officer program received federal funding years ago, but the sheriff’s office has been continuing it on its own, Budde said.

The sheriff’s office is focused on being responsible with manpower, he said.

The sheriff’s office only has three school resource officers active, and they’re posted at the remaining three schools within Lincoln-Way School District 210, he said.

Budde said the sheriff’s office plans to meet with district officials and address any issues or security concerns.

“We’re not going to leave them without protection,” he said.

Next time you ponder career choices while you wake up to that cup of morning coffee, think about what you have in your hand.

Coffee begins as a grower’s bean crop.

Beans-to-coffee then moves through a supply chain, using various methods of transportation, processing and packaging, until it arrives in the store where you shop. It doesn’t “just get there.”

All along the way, every step is managed costeffectively by logistics professionals.

And these people are in short supply.

“There are jobs everywhere,” said Carol A. Lindee, Assistant Professor of Logistics, Supply Chain and Analytics at the University of St. Francis in Joliet. “Part of the problem is that people don’t really think about it as a career. High school students may not even know it exists.”

The University of St. Francis is in a perfect position to educate people for various supply chain employment. Joliet is a large transportation and logistics hub, and several major rail and interstate corridors traverse the area, connecting metropolitan Chicago to the

rest of the country.

Salaries in logistics range from $45,000 at entry level to a $70,000-plus median salary, said Lindee, citing the 2011 statewide wage database of the Illinois Department of Employment Security.

Supply chain jobs range from truck drivers, railroad operators, port employees, warehouse team members, distribution planners, operational supervisors, freight planners, project managers, and inventory analysts to logistics managers, customer experience managers, and supply chain executives. Companies can be as varied as transportation service providers, logistics companies, distribution warehouses, manufacturers, and supply chain consulting firms.

USF provides academic programs that enable successful careers in one or more of these roles. USF offers programs leading to a Graduate Certificate in Logistics, Bachelor of Business Administration in Transportation and Logistics, and a Master of Business Administration–Logistics.

City Council also approves applying for $1.85M in grants for streetscape plans

By SARWAT S. AHMAD

Shaw Media correspondent

Ben Benson said.

While committee members had discussed whether to ban vaping within the shops, with opinions expressed on both sides of the issue, the new ordinance will not include this prohibition.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration moved last month to include vaporizers, e-cigarettes and electronic nicotine delivery systems under its definition of tobacco products and regulate them like traditional cigarettes.

Legislation has been pending in the Illinois House of Representatives since last year that would restrict the use of these products on school grounds and inside state-owned facilities.

State Rep. Kathleen Willis, D-Addison, who sponsored the amendment to the Smoke Free Illinois Act of 2007, said last year she intended to wait until the FDA had ruled on regulation of the products before moving forward with the legislation.

Streetscape plans

Also Wednesday, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the city to apply for two grants totaling about $1.85 million from the Illinois Transportation Enhancement Program in order to fund an extension of the city’s streetscape plans for State Street slated for 2018.

The grants would be used for enhancements of State Street from Seventh to Eighth streets and 10th to 11th streets. The city’s portion for that project would total about $680,000.

The city recently approved a $1.5 million contract with V3 Companies and Teska Associates to make improvements to State Street between Eighth and 10th streets in conjunction with the Illinois Department of Transportation 2017 project to widen that same portion. That project will be funded using a combination of general fund reserves and video gaming revenues.

LOCKPORT – Lockport officials intend to move forward with new zoning regulations for vape shops and hookah bars as a new ordinance makes its way to the City Council.

An ordinance outlining restrictions for locations for new businesses that sell e-cigarettes and alternative nicotine products was presented to the council’s Committee of the Whole at its regular meeting Wednesday night.

Alderman agreed Wednesday to extend the city’s moratorium on the issuance of zoning licenses to businesses selling these products from July 1 to Aug. 1, as the proposed ordinance with new regulations is not

set to come to the City Council for approval until its July 6 meeting.

Most of the provisions outlined at a previous committee meeting will be included in the new ordinance, including a requirement of a 1,000foot distance between locations of new tobacco and vape shops and hookah bars, and a stipulation that only prepackaged products be sold.

Committee members did decide Wednesday night that a provision be added requiring vape shops that allow customers to sample products and are located in multi-tenant buildings to install air handling units that can sufficiently control the vapors emitted by these products.

Vaping products usually come in a plethora of flavors, ranging from fruity to minty, and can emit strong odors.

The city has to decide on parameters for the air handler requirement which will be included in the ordinance that will come to the City Council in July, City Administrator

What to look for in a hairstyling flat iron SPONSORED BY

By Denise Freese A flat iron is a hair styling tool used by professional stylists in salons everywhere. Flat irons are available for home use too; but to avoid damage to your hair, it’s important to understand what to look for when shopping for this helpful styling aid.

A flat iron consists of two flat plates that close against each other, pressing the hair and adding heat to eliminate curls and waves, and to smooth frizzy hair and add shine. The plates are most often made of ceramic or tourmaline, which help reduce static electricity and provide even heat distribution. These materials are gentle on the hair.

Plates come in various sizes, usually between 1-3”. While many flat irons have plates that are flat, some actually have plates with rounded edges that allow the user to create waves and curls in addition to straightening the hair.

Most flat irons offer a thermoregulator with several heating options to control the temperature. With mechanical types, you can set a temperature range, but not an exact temperature. The electronic type allows the user to set the exact desired temperature. Most plates will heat up to between 240 and 450 degrees F. For weak or thin hair, the minimum temperature should be used to avoid damage. If you have thick, curly, healthy hair, you can use up to the maximum heat setting with good results.

Many flat irons come with additional options, such as a faster heating process, an automatic shut-off function, an LCD display, and heat indicators.

Weigh the importance of these options with your budget, as multiple options will be more expensive.

For more styling options, a flat iron is a useful styling tool that can be used regardless of hair type or length. Ask your stylist to show you different ways of achieving your favorite styles!

Expansion will produce more Skittles, 75 new jobs

By SHAW MEDIA YORKVILLE – Wrigley opened an addition this week to its Yorkville factory to produce more Skittles.

Wrigley, a subsidiary of Mars, opened the addition Tuesday.

The expansion is the result of a $50 million investment by Mars that adds 145,000 square feet, a new Skittles line and 75 new jobs – a 25 percent increase in the workforce at the facility, according to a news release from the company.

“Mars has a long-standing history of making our products in the markets where they’re sold,” Wrigley Americas President Casey Keller said in the news release. “With the expansion of our Skittles production footprint, we are proud to continue that tradition right here in the state that Wrigley has called home for 125 years.”

The Yorkville expansion reflects the unprecedented growth of Skittles, which the company said is now the No. 1 nonchocolate confection brand in the United States.

Besides Skittles, the Yorkville factory produces Life Savers, Doublemint and Juicy Fruit.

The company’s growth in the state of Illinois was assisted by the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, Yorkville Area Chamber of Commerce, city of Yorkville and Kendall County.

“We are grateful for the support

“With the expansion of our Skittles production footprint, we are proud to continue that tradition right here in the state that Wrigley has called home for 125 years.”

Casey Keller

Wrigley Americas President of our state and local communities, which have been instrumental in helping to bring this project to life,” Keller said in the news release.

“We’re fortunate to be able to further invest here in Yorkville, and provide the community with continued economic development.”

Gov. Bruce Rauner noted that Wrigley is an iconic company in the state, and is proud to see it continue to grow in Illinois.

“Wrigley has invested nearly $200 million in Illinois over the past seven years, creating hundreds of jobs for Illinois residents,” Rauner said in the news release. “The state of Illinois is glad to be a partner in Wrigley’s further expansion.”

In the past five years, Mars has invested $1 billion in U.S. factories and operations, creating more than 1,000 jobs.

Continued from page 3 Alumnus Jeff Ward, Class of 1995, had his 20th year class reunion at Heritage Quad in September.

“It was very nice,” Ward said.

“That’s why they wanted to build it, so it could be utilized.”

Heritage Quad was part of a $1.2 million capital campaign that included some very practical needs as well – new windows, security cameras and the first air-conditioning units at the school.

John Horn, director of development, said another capital campaign is underway to complete window replacement and put air conditioning in all the classrooms.

LUCIE REEVES MERRILL Born: April 28, 1923 Died: June 7, 2016

Lucie Reeves Merrill (nee Jarmin), age 93, passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Champaign County Nursing Home on the gentle summer evening of June 7, 2016.

Born on April 28, 1923, in Omaha, Nebraska, Mrs. Merrill was the only child of Thornton and Grace Jarmin. Raised with great respect for education and music, Mrs. Merrill graduated from Theodore Roosevelt High School in Des Moines, Iowa. After completing her undergraduate degree in music and English at Oberlin College of Ohio in 1944, Mrs. Merrill worked for 13 months for the U.S. Army Intelligence Division of the War Department in Washington, D.C. Her accomplishments were instrumental in helping to break the intricate codes of the Axis Powers in World War II. After the war in the Pacific was won, she moved back to the Midwest and earned a masters’ degree from Illinois Wesleyan University.

Mrs. Merrill met future husband, Floyd Russell Merrill, in Bloomington when she was employed as a teaching assistant in a class he was taking. For years, Mr. Merrill would tell

family members, “She just swept me off my feet!” The couple married in Burlington, Iowa on April 5, 1947, and both taught school in the Hawkeye State with Mr. Merrill transferring to Drake University to complete an advanced degree. The young couple started a family and Mrs. Merrill became a homemaker before moving to Champaign in 1957 when Mr. Merrill became director of bands in Tolono. After Mr. Merrill suffered a serious heart attack in 1964, Mrs. Merrill returned to the classroom, teaching English and literature at Atwood-Hammond High School and Rantoul Township High School until her retirement two decades later. When Mr. Merrill passed away suddenly in November 1970, Mrs. Merrill successfully and without complaint continued her career, raised three children to adulthood, and welcomed two sons-in-laws and a daughter-in-law to her family.

Mrs. Merrill was a Renaissance woman with many skills and interests. She possessed great knowledge of music, literature (especially Shakespeare) and history, and possessed an encyclopedic knowledge of our national pastime of baseball. After her teaching career ended in the 1980s, she continued to be active for many years playing second violin as an original member of in the Champaign-Urbana Civic Symphony, participating in the Sigma Alpha Iota professional music fraternity, Evening Etudes-Mozart Club, Newcomers Alum, and the Tuesday Morning Music Club. Mrs. Merrill also went on numerous tours of places about which she had taught and continued to attend performances of the Chicago Lyric Opera and the Chicago Cubs. For good measure, she was unequalled as a living room contestant on the TV show “Jeopardy”.

Mrs. Merrill is survived by her loving children, Suzanne (Darrell) Holmquist of New Lenox, Annette (Bruce) Hammerberg of Champaign and Bruce Merrill of Mahomet. Mrs. Merrill also leaves grandchildren, Amanda Phillips, Alan Morrison, Marcus Merrill, Richard Holmquist, Alexander Holmquist, Adrienne Morrison, Isaiah Hammerberg and Garnett Hammerberg on whom she endlessly doted, as well as great-grandchildren, Jazmyne, Brett and Bryce Phillips of Hanover Park, Illinois. Several sistersin-law also survive, as do many niece and nephews, and numerous friends from her wonderful days of teaching and performing music.

Final arrangements for Mrs. Merrill are incomplete.

Memorials to the Champaign-Urbana Symphony Guild are welcomed.

Alligators lie on the grass in 2014 near fresh water at Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park in Gainesville, Fla. The death of a Nebraska toddler killed by an alligator at Walt Disney World raises questions in a state known for tourism.

After fatal Disney attack, theme parks weigh alligator warnings

By JAY REEVES and KELLI KENNEDY The Associated Press

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. – It’s an unwritten rule for Florida residents: Keep your kids away from ponds and lakes because alligators are everywhere. But after a gator killed a 2-yearold Nebraska boy at a Walt Disney World resort, attention soon turned to tourists. In a state with an estimated 1 million alligators, how should theme parks and other attractions warn visitors, and did Disney do enough?

Disney beaches remained closed Thursday after the death of Lane Graves, and the company said it has decided to add alligator warning signs, which it previously did not have around park waters.

Jacquee Wahler, vice president of Walt Disney World Resort, said in a statement that the resort also was “conducting a swift and thorough review of all of our processes and protocols.”

Local law enforcement and state wildlife officials publicly praised the company for spotting and removing nuisance gators from park waters.

Disney’s wildlife management system has ensured “that their guests are not unduly exposed to the wildlife in this area,” Orange County Sheriff Jerry Demings said during the search for the child.

Yet Kadie Whalen, who lives in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, saw no evidence of that system when she visited Disney World with her family four years ago.

Whalen said her three young children and niece were playing on a resort beach at the water’s edge with buckets and shovels provided by Disney workers when the beady eyes of a 7-foot gator appeared in a lake just a few feet away.

She screamed, and everyone scattered.

No one was hurt, but after her experience, this week’s fatal alligator attack did not surprise her.

“We knew that Disney was aware that this was a problem, and yet they encourage people to be there,” Whalen said Thursday in a telephone interview.

The dead child’s parents, Matt and Melissa Graves, who live in a suburban area of Omaha, have not spoken publicly, so it’s unclear whether they knew anything about the gator threat in Florida. A statement released through a family friend thanked local authorities for their tireless work.

An autopsy showed that the boy died from drowning and traumatic injuries, according to the Orlando medical examiner.

Most Florida residents know to keep kids and pets away from water, not to feed gators and to be especially vigilant at dusk, dawn and during the Junethrough-July nesting season when the

reptiles are most active.

State wildlife officials said they receive nearly 16,000 alligator-related complaints a year. Last year, they removed more than 7,500 gators deemed to be a nuisance.

Depending on the size of an alligator, the state might send out a trapper, as happened after the gator grabbed the boy at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, located across Seven Seas Lagoon from the Magic Kingdom, one of the world’s most popular tourist destinations.

Five gators were removed from the lake after the boy’s disappearance, and trappers continued looking for gators after his body was found Wednesday.

While Disney had posted “no swimming” signs at the lake where the boy died, it did not have alligator warning signs, which are common around golf courses, ponds and public parks all over Florida. That raised questions about whether the company did enough to convey the potential danger to visitors.

“They presumably know, since they have caught four or five alligators in this area, that the area has dangers that far and away exceed the danger of drowning,” said Miami-based defense attorney Scott Leeds. “So this issue of posting a sign warning of swimming or no swimming doesn’t adequately warn patrons of the known danger.”

STATE Security to get boost for upcoming gay pride events

By DON BABWIN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – The huge crowds expected to attend gay pride parades around the United States in the coming weeks will be greeted by more police officers and ramped-up security measures as a means to protect them in the wake of the mass shooting in a gay nightclub in Florida.

While many federal and local authorities around the U.S. said they have not received information on any credible threats, Houston is investigating a threat that was made against the parade in a tweet.

Meanwhile, authorities from Denver to Chicago to New Orleans are tightening security with bag searches, more police officers and private security workers and more crowd-control barriers.

In Chicago, where nearly 1 million people have attended the pride parade in previous years, better security – including 200 additional uniformed and plainclothes officers – will be assigned to this weekend’s PrideFest and next weekend’s parade out of “an abundance of caution,” Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Thursday.

Parade organizers themselves also are providing additional security at the city’s request – hiring 160 off-duty

Ill. borrows $550M for projects despite budget mess

SPRINGFIELD – Illinois borrowed $550 million Thursday for construction projects, taking advantage of historically low interest rates as the state approaches one full year with a budget.

Gov. Bruce Rauner’s office announced the bond sale to Bank of America Merrill Lynch in a bidding process that offered Illinois a 3.74 percent interest rate – the lowest in Illinois history for similarly situated general obligation bonds, a spokeswoman said.

A bond expert noted the entire market is operating amid all-time low interest rates and Illinois could have done better were it in better fiscal shape.

The FBI also said it would take an active role, gathering intelligence on any possible threat to the parade and sharing that information with Chicago police. The FBI also echoed Johnson’s plea to the public to quickly report any suspicious activity.

Houston police also are increasing security for the city’s gay pride parade June 25. Acting Police Chief Martha Montalvo said the department is investigating a threat that was made in a tweet earlier this week that indicated there would be a “massive shooting” at the parade.

Heat wave expands in Midwestern, Southern states

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – A sweltering heat wave is expanding as temperatures in the Midwest and South approach near record-setting levels in the waning days of spring.

The National Weather Service said the number of states under heat advisories nearly doubled Thursday to 12. The affected states are Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois, Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Temperatures are forecast in the 90s across much of those states, but the humidity is expected to make them feel much hotter. Heat indexes are expected to hit 115 degrees in central Oklahoma and northeastern Arkansas.

Court: Aviation company’s tax exemption invalid

SPRINGFIELD – The Illinois Supreme Court has invalidated a law that gave a property tax exemption to a Moline-based aviation company.

The 6-1 decision released Thursday declares the 2013 law is unconstitutional “special legislation.” The exemption allowed Elliott Aviation to expand at the Quad City International Airport without paying property taxes.

The Moline School District filed a lawsuit to prevent the loss of $150,000 in annual tax revenue.

Justice Lloyd Karmeier noted in the court’s opinion that the state constitution prohibits laws benefiting only one person or group. Elliott alone got the tax break.

Elliott issued a statement through its lawyer saying it will continue working

In Denver, organizers of this Sunday’s PrideFest, said the 300,000 people expected to attend will see more fences, more searches of bags and other security measures.

“We’re making security a top priority,” said organizer Debra Pollock, chief executive officer of the GLBT Community Center of Colorado, which is holding that city’s event.

And in New Orleans, city officials say that security will be beefed up this weekend in the popular French Quarter for the city’s annual gay pride celebrations, announcing that large numbers of police officers and state troopers will be on duty.

It’s unknown how last weekend’s rampage at Orlando club Pulse that left 49 people dead will affect attendance at the popular parades and festivals.

But in Chicago, parade coordinator Richard Pfeiffer said the attack may increase attendance for the 47th parade.

SKOKIE – A 46-year prison sentence has been handed to Chicago man for the 1992 murder of an Evanston woman whose body was discovered by her then-4-year-old son.

DNA tests led to first-degree murder charges being filed in 2013 against Jimmie Dunlap in the death of 25-year-old Deondra Dawson. An autopsy determined Dawson had been stabbed at least 34 times.

The Cook County state’s attorney’s Cold Case Unit and Evanston police reopened an investigation of the case in 2010. Dunlap’s name came up as a match when the department submitted evidence swabs to the Illinois State Police Crime Lab. Judge Jeffrey Warnick had found the 45-year-old Dunlap guilty in a bench trial in April, and sentenced him Wednesday.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS tigation that could help resolve Congress stalemated on guns despite Fla., filibuster the mystery of why the jetliner

WASHINGTON – The slaughter in Florida and an attention-grabbing filibuster in the Senate did little to break the election-year stalemate in Congress over guns Thursday, with both sides unwilling to budge and Republicans standing firm against any new legislation opposed by the National Rifle Association.

Democrats renewed their call to action after Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., held the floor along with colleagues in a nearly 15-hour filibuster that lasted into the early hours Thursday.

“We can’t just wait, we have to make something happen,” said Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., at an emotional news conference where Democrats joined family members of people killed in recent mass shootings. “These are people bound by brutality, and their numbers are growing.”

But Republicans were coolly dismissive of Democrats’ demands.

Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., derided Murphy’s filibuster as a “campaign talk-a-thon” that did nothing but delay potential votes.

Crashed Egyptian jet’s voice recorder recovered

CAIRO – Egypt said Thursday it has recovered the cockpit voice recorder from the submerged wreckage of EgyptAir Flight 804, a major breakthrough in the inves-

plunged into the Mediterranean last month and killed all 66 people aboard.

The announcement came a day after officials said they had found the wreckage of the Airbus A320 and are putting together a map of the debris on the seabed. Such images will help investigators determine whether the plane broke apart in the air or stayed intact until it struck the water, aviation experts said.

The wreckage of the Paris-to-Cairo flight is believed to be at a depth of about 9,800 feet.

Previously, search crews found only small floating pieces of debris and some human remains.

British Labour lawmaker dies after shooting attack LONDON – A lawmaker who campaigned for Britain to stay in the European Union was killed Thursday by a gun- and knife-wielding attacker in her small-town constituency, a tragedy that brought the country’s fierce, divisive referendum campaign to a shocked standstill.

Jo Cox, a 41-year-old Labour Party legislator who praised the contribution of immigrants to Britain and championed the cause of war-scarred Syrian refugees, was attacked outside a library in Birstall, England, after a regular meeting with constituents.

President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden place flowers Thursday during their visit to a memorial to the victims of the Pulse nightclub shooting in Orlando, Fla.

Obama visits Orlando, appeals for gun controls

By JOSH LEDERMAN and KATHLEEN HENNESSEY The Associated Press

ORLANDO, Fla. – Embracing grieving Orlando families and appealing anew for national action, President Barack Obama claimed a threat to all Americans’ security Thursday as a strong reason to tighten U.S. gun laws. Counterterror campaigns overseas, he declared, can never prevent all “lone wolf” attacks like the one that killed 49 people in Orlando.

Speaking at a makeshift memorial to the victims, Obama said the massacre at a gay nightclub was evidence that “different steps” are needed to limit the damage a “deranged” person set on committing violence can do. He cheered on Democrats’ push for new gun control measures, including a new ban on assault weapons and stricter background checks.

Although he showed little hope the measures would find much support among most opponents, Obama seemed to be aiming for other lawmakers, perhaps Republican hawks eager to get behind counterterror campaigns but steadfastly opposed to gun restrictions.

Obama arrived as Orlando began the next stage of its grief – funerals all over town. A visitation for one victim, Javier Jorge-Reyes, on Wednesday night turned out a crowd of friends, family, drag queens and motorcyclists to pay their respects.

“We’re just here to spread love and joy and try to put an end to all the hate,” said Ezekiel Davis – or, as he’s known to some, Sister Anesthesia Beaverhausen. Obama could not miss

other signs of a community coming together in tragedy. Hundreds of people gathered in 95-degree heat outside the Amway Center stadium where he met with families.

Brittany Woodrough came to honor her close friend, 19-year-old Jason Benjamin Josaphat.

“I just pray for his family and I can’t believe this happened,” she said. “Seeing President Obama here makes it real.”

Orlando’s calls for solidarity stood in contrast to the sharp-edged political debate in Washington and the presidential campaign trail that continued during Obama’s visit.

Arizona Sen. John McCain, a Republican and frequent Obama critic, accused the president of being “directly responsible” for the shooting because, he said, Obama had allowed the growth of the Islamic State group on his watch. McCain quickly walked back those comments with a written statement saying he had misspoken and was referring to Obama’s “national security decisions, not the president himself.”

The gunman, Omar Mateen, had made calls during the attack saying he was an IS supporter.

But CIA Director John Brennan said Thursday the agency has found no connection between the gunman and any foreign terrorist organization.

In Orlando, Obama noted the need for strong efforts to fight terrorists before they can get to America, but he said that’s not enough.

“It’s going to take more than just our military,” he said. “We will not be able to stop every tragedy. We can’t wipe away hatred and evil from every heart in this world, but we can stop some tragedies. We can save some lives.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Pension deficits addressed

To the Editor: I noted your article titled “Chicago gets pension relief as Rauner veto overridden” on page 13 of the Tuesday, May 31, 2016, edition of The Herald-News.

Chicago taxpayers allegedly have been saved $1 billion!

Alas, an extra $18.6 billion will need to be paid in interest. I suspect Cook County intends to “wait a while” expecting us to forget this “victory.”

Later, the whine will be that only Cook County was forgotten as the pension deficits were addressed. Poor Cook County will need to be bailed out again, but “downstate” should feel guilty for not having done so before. They pulled such a stunt in mass transit funding.

How long is our memory this time?

ANOTHER VIEW

To the Editor: While walking my dog by the Shorewood Village Hall on Friday morning, I was accosted by a citizen asking me if I carried a bag to pick up after my dog.

Not wanting to fuel his little power trip, I bit my tongue and simply replied yes.

He continued questioning me and preaching. I ignored him, and he finally left, parking down the road – I guess to continue his surveillance.

This person drove the wrong way down a one-way street, got out of his vehicle (leaving it in the middle of the street) to confront a senior walking their dog.

Good work, Deputy Fife.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Illinois is right to extend medical marijuana pilot program Last week, Ohio Gov. John Kasich signed a bill to legalize medical marijuana, making Ohio the 25th state in the country, the halfway point, to permit medical marijuana.

In Illinois, a medical marijuana pilot program was approved in 2014, but the program didn’t actually get up and running until last November.

Before adjourning, the Illinois Senate and House had both voted to extend the pilot program by 21/2 years, from January 2018, when it had been set to sunset, to 2020.

Gov. Bruce Rauner has indicated that he also supports the change.

The changes to the program also will add post-traumatic stress syndrome and terminal illnesses with a diagnosis of six months or less

to live to the list of conditions that qualify patients to use medical cannabis. The state currently certifies 39 diseases and conditions as qualifying for patients.

As of the end of April, Illinois had 36 dispensaries where patients can purchase medical cannabis, including one in Springfield. About 6,200 patients have qualified to purchase the drug, and as of the end of April, about $8.5 million worth of medical marijuana had been sold, according to The Associated Press.

Patients must be recommended by a doctor who certifies that they have a qualifying condition, and that they have a bona fide doctor/patient relationship.

The new legislation, which was sponsored by Rep. Lou

Lang, D-Skokie, does make a change in that process; the doctor no longer has to specifically recommend medical cannabis as a treatment option.

In Springfield, HCI Alternatives opened in mid-February.

The dispensary is discreet; many people walking by might not even realize it’s there. Springfield police said there have been no crimes at the site; the only incidents have been four burglar alarms, all of which were false alarms.

Likewise, in accordance with state regulations, the dispensary’s security protocols are detailed, extensive and strict. In short, it’s blended in fairly seamlessly with its surroundings.

Given the delayed start

in getting the pilot program off the ground, it makes sense for the state to extend it accordingly. Including the two additional conditions to the pilot program also seems reasonable.

The agreement to extend the pilot program involved lawmakers and Rauner – who initially opposed the idea – working together.

That’s been sorely lacking during a session scarred forever by the ongoing budget standoff debacle.

At least this was one small area where progress was made. Illinois must keep monitoring and tweaking the medical marijuana program, but this step represents a sensible move forward.

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.

– The (Springfield) State Journal-Register

MORRIS LADIES SHOOTOUT: LINCOLN-WAY WEST GIRLS BASKETBALL

20 WINS NOT GOOD ENOUGH

Atsinger, O’Donnell lead strong nucleus for Lincoln-Way West

By JEFF DE GRAW

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – When your basketball team loses seven games in a season and it’s a disappointment, that says a lot about the program.

That is the sentiment of the Lincoln-Way West girls as they participated in the 20th annual Morris Ladies Shootout this week.

Coach Ryan White’s squad was 20-7 last season and was ousted in the tournament for the third consecutive year

by Joliet Catholic Academy.

COMING SUNDAY Shaw Media correspondent Jeff DeGraw takes a look at Lockport from the Morris Ladies Shootout.

The Warriors have a veteran squad returning and will welcome five or six new members with the closing of Lincoln-Way North.

“Our goal over the summer is the same as always,” White said. “We use the summer to see what we will be able to do both offensively and on defense. I

usually have a pretty good idea because I know the players pretty well. But with the additional players we will have this summer from the Manhattan area, with the closing of North, is a little different.

“All the kids are getting along really well, and that is good to see. They pretty much know each other from playing against each other, growing up together and playing in the summer.”

A strong nucleus returns, with four players having played starter minutes last season. Front and center are two veterans who will be starting for the fourth consecutive year. Seniors Emily

Atsinger and Courtney O’Donnell are the mainstays.

“I can’t believe this is my senior year already,” Atsinger said. “It seems like yesterday that I was a freshman.

We really want to have a good season this year, and I’m looking forward to it. Our goal is to advance longer in the tournament. It was a disappointment last year.”

Atsinger is known as a torrid 3-point shooter and especially wants to improve on getting to the basket more often.

22 MORRIS LADIES SHOOTOUT: PLAINFIELD NORTH GIRLS BASKETBALL

Defense, shared scoring keys for Plainfield North

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Last winter, the Plainfield North girls basketball team relied on a two-headed monster as the Tigers posted a 17-9 record, their best season ever.

If it wasn’t senior guard Jordan Heberg imposing damage on the opposition, it was sophomore guard Amaya Johns.

Heberg averaged 16.6 points and was a first-team Herald-News All-Area selection. She leaves North for a college career at McKendree as the Tigers’ career scoring leader. She also is among the all-time steal leaders.

Johns was a second-team all-area selection after averaging 15.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3 assists. Heberg would be missed next season, but Johns would be back to lead the way for two more years.

Only, it has not worked out that

way. Johns transferred to Oswego East and, in fact, played with the Wolves during this week’s 20th annual Morris Ladies Shootout.

North also was in the 32-team field, and coach Reggie Lemon took a few minutes to discuss the Tigers’ rebuild.

“We have lost 90 percent of our scoring in Jordan and Amaya,” Lemon noted. “They led us in scoring about half the time each. If one wasn’t getting our points, the other one was.”

Things obviously will be different this time around.

“We are in a learning process,” Lemon said. “Now we have to play better defense, and we have to figure out that we have a chance to share the scoring more.

“We have to get to the point where we believe we can win without those two young girls (Heberg and Johns).

The summer is a time to get comfortable with each other.”

Lemon, who will enter his fifth sea-

son as the Tigers’ head coach and seventh season in the program, said he went seven deep last year. This time, the full roster of 10 or more must contribute.

“I think the girls are ready for the challenge,” he said. “It’s going to take a little time, but it will be fun to watch them develop. It’s just going to take patience.”

Lemon’s résumé includes coaching AAU boys basketball. He said there is a difference in approach between the two genders.

“There are so many emotions involved with the girls,” he said. “I have to get to know which ones I can be aggressive with my coaching and which ones I can’t. I have to feel my way through a little bit.”

If the Tigers are going to approach the 17 victories they posted last season, the success formula will begin with defense and sharing the load.

They again will be working on those

areas this weekend as they travel together to Louisville, Kentucky, to play six games in a tournament.

“Now we have to rely on everybody, and everybody must play defense,” Lemon said. “If the girls play defense, they will have a lot of freedom on the offensive end.

“No matter who it is, if they have a shot, I want them to take it. If they miss it, that’s OK. But if they don’t take a good shot when they have it, I’ll take them out.”

Lemon said he has an opportunity to “go big” at times this season, and he likes the thought. Senior Lauren Higgins, junior Kelle Knopp and sophomore Olivia Cantu all stand at or just below the 6-foot mark, and all could be on the floor together.

Of course, the way Lemon sees it at this point, everyone on the roster will get playing time. Contributions must come from everyone, on both ends of the floor.

• LINCOLN-WAY WEST Continued from page 21

“I’m really working on driving to the basket with the option to finish at the rim or dish the ball to someone who is open for the easier shot. But, my favorite is still hitting the 3,” she said with a smile.

O’Donnell, who stands just under the 6-foot mark, qualified for the Class 2A finals in the discus in the recent track and field state meet. She has developed into an all-around player on the hardwood and can score from anywhere on the floor.

“I have mixed emotions about being a senior,” she said. “I’m really looking forward to my last season, but I will miss all that Lincoln-Way West has provided me, from my coaches to all of my teammates.

“This summer is a little different than the others because of the new members of the team and the incoming freshmen. This summer, we are really working to jell with each other. But, we sort of know each other from playing against one another. Last year, I moved outside more, and that really helped my overall game. I just need to work on my confidence of the outside shot.”

White chuckled when told about how his two “stars’” want to improve their game.

“Emily can get to the basket; she now has that finishing mentality,” he said. “She puts the defense in a tough position because if they play off her, she’ll hit the 3; and if they play up on her, she’ll go to the basket. She has worked hard on that area of her game.

“Courtney started as our inside player but has really developed into an overall player. She can handle the ball and can shoot and hit the outside shot.

“With those two, and (senior) Stephanie Athanasoulis, along with Tara Hastings, who had starter minutes last year as a freshman, we have a very good nucleus. We need to blend the veterans with the young and new kids and hope to improve over what we did last year.”

MORRIS – When Joliet West basketball is mentioned, thoughts naturally race to the boys program, especially now. The Tigers next season have a chance to be among the best teams in the state.

“They will be a show,” West girls coach John Placher said of the boys as he guided the girls through this week’s 20th annual Morris Ladies Shootout.

“What’s really good is we have, I believe, four nights on the schedule when we will play a game in front of our boys. We’re looking forward to that. It’s huge for girls basketball to get that exposure. The girls have to play in front of the boys. That’s a way to help grow the program.”

The schedule in its entirety will take on a different look with the move of Joliet West and Joliet Central to the Southwest Prairie Conference from the SouthWest Suburban Blue. Regardless of the opponent on a given night, however, Placher feels the Tigers, who finished 10-17 last season, are better prepared to compete than they have been in his two previous seasons at the helm.

“The program is to the point where it’s competitive,” he said. “We have four returning starters, and everyone coming in started on the sophomore level. Now the next step is to win games.

“We did some good things last season. Of our 17 losses, seven were to four regional champions – Bolingbrook, Lincoln-Way East, Homewood-Flossmoor and Bradley. We have the pieces now to take the next step.”

Senior forward/guard Madi Mulder averaged 12 points, 6.6 assists, 3.5 rebounds and nearly two steals as a junior. Senior forward Raven Reed, senior post player Nicole Gal and junior guard Sarah Gersch also were quality starters, and senior guard Shenea Best provided a spark off the bench.

Mulder and Gersch missed some or all of the opening day of the shootout because of softball commitments.

The Tigers suffered three close losses during that pool-play portion of the 32-team event.

“Some girls play different sports in the summer, school is out, you have no practice before this – it is difficult to get the results you would like,” Placher said. “You don’t have time to put anything in, like our zone defenses.

Who wins games usually comes down to who can beat you off the dribble.

That will help make us more competitive during the season.”

Mulder’s sister, Molli Mulder, a sophomore guard, looked good in the tournament. Placher said freshman Jazzpher Evans played very well. One of the big girls the coach mentioned, junior Alyssa Betlejeski, suffered an ankle injury during the second shootout game and had to exit.

“We substituted five at a time and didn’t miss much,” Placher said. “The good thing is it looks like no spot is secure. Nobody has a starting spot guaranteed at this point. It hasn’t been like that the last two years.

“We have the program where we want it. We’re a solid team now. If we have an injury, it’s not going to hurt us because we will have people to fill in. That’s the biggest thing that has been missing in Joliet West girls bas-

ketball.”

Placher said he will have ongoing guard camps and post camps in the summer, but preparation for the new season goes beyond that.

“What you learn at camp can make you better,” he said. “But what really matters is what you do at home. I am counting on our girls doing what they need to do.”

Scooters sit outside Memorial Stadium and the University of Illinois indoor practice facility Thursday in Champaign. New Illinois football coach Lovie Smith has told players that, starting with preseason practices, they will no longer be allowed to ride scooters.

ILLINOIS FOOTBALL

New coach Lovie Smith bars Illini from scooters

By DAVID MERCER The Associated Press

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. – When he got to campus back in March, Lovie Smith counted 50 or 60 players who owned scooters.

You can still see a handful of the compact, two-wheeled vehicles parked

by Illinois’ indoor training facility.

But by the time practice starts in August, they will be gone. Smith’s orders.

The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chicago Bears coach is banning his players from riding scooters, bringing what he said is both a touch of NFL-style discipline and concern for his players to the Big Ten campus.

“Think about this – we have game week going on and a guy is riding a scooter with no helmet,” Smith said, adding that few if any of the players he saw riding were wearing helmets.

“I would also have a hard time calling a parent (if a player was injured), and I’m responsible for the guy.”

While pro sports teams can and, through their contracts, do restrict activities that could result in injury, scooters are popular among college athletes on many campuses. Bans are so far rare, and perhaps even unique to Illinois. Charlotte Hornets player Frank Kaminsky drew plenty of attention while still playing at Wisconsin when ESPN published photos of the 6-11 center sharing a small scooter with Bucky Badger.

The Illinois football team the past few years has had a lot of scooter riders. Linemen who weigh near 300

pounds zipping away from practice – sometimes two to a scooter – was a common site on the south side of campus. Quarterback Wes Lunt said in a spring 2015 interview with Champaign TV station WCIA that he first had one when he was enrolled at Oklahoma State, before his transfer to Illinois.

“I came here and I bet 40 guys had it,” Lunt said.

Some of the Hondas, Yamahas and Genuines ridden by Illinois players were either sold or serviced by Sam Selle’s Sportland Motorsports in Urbana.

Players tend to prefer smaller scooters with 50 cc engines that will travel at maximum speeds of about 40 mph, Selle said. The loss of a relative handful of potential scooter customers will not mean much to his business, Selle said. The rest of the 40,000 students on campus are still free to buy.

But he’ll miss seeing football players in his shop.

“We like talking to them, and we’re all football fans and enjoy talking to them,” Selle said.

So far, at least, none of Illinois’ other athletes face a scooter ban, sports information director Kent Brown said.

Smith said he made the decision to do away with his players’ favored twowheeled transportation shortly after he was hired, and announced it with no discussion.

“It’s a team rule. It’s not a democracy,” he said, adding that he doesn’t believe his players are being deprived.

“There’s an old fashioned way to get around – on a bike.”

Bears head coach John Fox and receiver Kevin White talk during veteran minicamp activities Tuesday at Halas Hall in Lake Forest.

Coach John Fox cancels practice to conclude Bears veteran minicamp Bears off until training camp opens on July 27

By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com LAKE FOREST – The Bears got a pleasant surprise Thursday – no practice.

After stretching, John Fox huddled with the team at Halas Hall and announced practice had been canceled, to the players’ delight, which means nearly six weeks of summer vacation for the Bears before they have to report July 27 to Bourbonnais.

“They’ve earned it. I don’t just do that because I feel like it,” Fox said.

“They worked real hard. We had great participation, and they worked extremely hard. They earned it.”

The conclusion of the mandatory veteran minicamp marks the end of the 10-week offseason training program, which began in mid-April with strength and conditioning. Fox’s message as he bids farewell to his players for the summer had a parent-child theme to it. We are set to enter the time of the year when no coach wants to have his phone ring with news about one of his players.

“I think anytime you cut guys loose, whether it’s the offseason or this fiveweek break before we report to training camp, it’s like a parent when you send your kid off in the evening,” he said. “You always have concerns.

Hopefully they’ll make good decisions.

Hopefully they are well-trained not

only on the field but off the field.”

Year Two jump: It’s early, and the Bears haven’t put pads on, but they had 10 OTA practices and then two minicamp practices that have allowed the coaching staff to see the improvement from the first year with the regime. It’s an obvious change when players don’t have to learn new systems, but still important.

“So much of it is a culture: how you practice, how you compete, how you do your job every day,” Fox said. “I’ll give you an example, I went back and looked at OTAs from a year ago. It’s much more competitive, much more high speed. This game is about playing it fast, and you have to practice it fast.”

Fox mentioned key returning players who couldn’t participate in last year’s spring workouts because of injuries (Lamarr Houston, Willie Young) and those who weren’t even on the roster yet (Tracy Porter, Harold Jones-Quartey) and how that helps the progression.

“I think the more you do it, the better you get, and it relates to a lot of guys on the team this year,” he said.

Battle in the trenches to watch: Fans and observers will enjoy seeing Kyle Long vs. Akiem Hicks once the pads come on in Bourbonnais, as it’s a competition that has caught Fox’s eye during the spring.

“I think one of our better competitions all offseason has been Akiem and Kyle Long,” he said. “You try to breed that, and I think they’ve both improved tremendously having had that competition here during this period and time.”

26 SLAMMERS 5, WILD THINGS 0

MLB

Slammers blank Washington to win series SUBMITTED REPORTS

WASHINGTON, Pa. – After suffering a tough loss the night before, the Joliet Slammers hoped to bounce back with a win in Thursday’s series finale at Washington.

Thanks to a combined shutout from three pitchers, Joliet managed to do just that as it beat the Wild Things 5-0 to win the rubber game of the Frontier League series.

Despite getting outhit 9-7, the Slammers (17-14) made the most of their chances to remain in second in the East Division standings, 21/2 games behind leader Windy City.

Slammers starter Sean Townsley took the win after allowing eight hits and striking out five in five innings. Tyler Levine didn’t yield a hit in two innings of relief and Kevin McNorton only gave up one hit in his two innings on

the mound.

Joliet got the only run it would need in the first inning when Carter Bell (2 for 3) singled to drive in Charlie White (2 for 4). In the fourth, Jake Gronsky doubled home Marc Flores.

After Nico Zych scored on an error in the seventh, the Slammers added two more runs in the eighth as Flores singled in Boo Vazquez and Bell came home on Gronsky’s sacrifice fly.

course without having a chance to warm up again.

Most frustrating of all?

Only nine players finished the first round, and 78 players didn’t even tee off. Play was to resume at 7:30 a.m. Friday. It was the worst rain delay in a U.S. Open since no one finished the opening round at Bethpage Black in 2009 in a tournament that ended on a Monday.

CAMPING FOR SINGLES

Joliet residents explain the benefits of belonging to Loners on Wheels

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

Come alone or bring a friend, dog or car. Bring a motor home, camper or even a tent.

There are just two stipulations: a love for camping and a single marital status.

Loners on Wheels is a 45-year-old RV club of legally single men and women who enjoy traveling and camping, according to its website, which stresses that the club is not a dating service.

The international club has chapters in nearly all 50 states. The chapters offer campouts and other activities.

“It’s basically comradeship with people who like to do the same thing,” said Jeannine Charnotta of Joliet, president of the 23-member northern Illinois chapter. “We have campfires, go see whatever is in the local area, definitely go out to dinner and do a lot of dog walking.”

Loners on Wheels has no age requirements, although most of the people in her chapter are over age 50 and most are women, Charnotta said.

About a third bring dogs. Charnotta brings a dog and a cat. And no, the cat doesn’t run off, she added.

New and experienced campers are welcome. Charnotta said she first became interested in Loners on Wheels 14 years ago after her divorce.

“After awhile, it becomes like an extended family,” Charnotta said.

“Camping is hard to do when you’re single. Most of the camping groups are couples or families, so you sort of feel like a fifth wheel. Here is everybody is equal.”

Prospective members may attend three events before they must officially join. Dues are $51 a year to join the northern Illinois chapter, with $45 of that amount going to the international group, Charnotta said. But there’s good reason for it.

“Almost every state has at least one chapter,” she said. “You can go to those campouts and join those people; you can pick up with one of the other groups.”

The club is fairly laid back, she said.

Members can participate to the extent they wish. Campouts are planned in September with different members offering to act as hosts, she added.

“Hosting” a campout is fairly simple.

“It means that person decides what we’re going to have for the main

Many members travel with their pets, Charnotta said. course and everyone brings sides,” Charnotta said. “Or that person can say ‘potluck’ and everyone brings whatever. During our monthly get-togethers at campgrounds, we are there for four days and we have one of those days designated to share a dinner together.”

Last year a friend told Jan Steele of Joliet about Loners on Wheels. Since then, Steele has camped regularly with the northern Illinois chapter, has occasionally joined the Florida and Wisconsin chapters, and plans to check out the Utah, Idaho and Oregon chapters when she vacations out west this summer.

Steele, a former editor with The Herald-News, said she had often camped with her family when she was growing up, but had drifted away from it in her mid-20s. Divorced and with little extended family, Steele has found like-minded companions through Loners on Wheels.

“My goal when I retired was to travel as much as I can,” Steele said, “but camping gets lonely with only your own thoughts for company.”

KNOW MORE For information about Loners on Wheels, visit www.lonersonwheels.com.

After a divorce or death of a spouse, people often “hang up camping,” Steele said, and she can see why.

But the people Steele has met – most of them seniors – are anything but lonely.

In fact, their knowledge, fortitude and independence often astounds Steele.

“We’ve got people in the club who are 90 years old and dumping their own waste out of the container,” Steele said. “That’s not easy to do.”

During campouts, members play cards and dominoes, share skills and travel stories (“Some have been to Turkey and Alaska,” Steele said), visit museums, and attend plays and concerts.

And they have campfires, one of the perks of camping with a group.

“Campfires aren’t much fun when you’re alone,” Steele said.

Along for the journeys are Frodo and Fred, Steele’s two elderly Chihuahua traveling companions, who “don’t like anybody but me.”

“Frodo loves to go camping,” Steele said, “but Fred is grumpy about it, more like, ‘Oh, can’t we just stay home?’”

A&E BRIEFS Manhattan historical museum to explore history of entertainment

MANHATTAN – The Manhattan Township Historical Museum will present an exhibit exploring the history of entertainment venues dating from early settlement of the region to recent times.

The free exhibit will be from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, 255 S. State St. in Manhattan.

Take a trip into the past and explore historic saloons, restaurants, taverns, theaters, hotels and other [often surprising] places of public entertainment that made early Manhattan a regional destination.

Did you know that in the first part of the last century Manhattan had a theater described as “One of the best constructed and most artistically finished moving picture show houses in the state, equipped to handle show companies, with seating capacity of nearly 400?” It also had a dance pavilion called the “Coliseum” that was one of the largest and classiest in Will County.

This event immediately precedes the Manhattan on Tap craft beer festival that will be held directly behind the museum.

For information, visit www.facebook. com/manhattanhistoricalsociety or email manhattanhistorical@yahoo.com.

Daytime activities include carnival games and face painting for children. Refreshments will be sold throughout the day by the church. An information booth will be centrally located for programs, church information, lost children and minor first aid.

Admission and parking on the grounds for the all-day festival are free. Handicapped parking is available. No shuttle parking is provided.

Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run to take place on Saturday MARSEILLES – Thousands of motorcycle riders, Gold Star Families and people from across the U. S. will make their way to Marseilles for the annual Illinois Motorcycle Freedom Run on Saturday.

This event honors the warriors who made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.

The 2016 ILMFR will leave the Grundy County Fairgrounds in Morris, then make the emotional trek to Marseilles, where there will be a service at 1 p.m. in front of the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial.

After the ceremony, the city of Marseilles brings you the annual “Celebration of Freedom,” also known as “FreedomFest.” Several downtown businesses and vendors from around the state participate by grilling food and providing drinks, as well as displaying and selling merchandise.

For information about FreedomFest, contact Cherise Byone coordinator at 815-481-0760 or marseillesfreedomfest@gmail.com.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff perform my ideal study.

Because human studies are hard, the study you heard about used rats – mammals like us. Their brains are built like ours, although smaller, of course. Rats don’t live long, so you can study them for a good fraction of their life span. And, at the end of the study, you can take out their brains and count the number of brain cells. Humans won’t let you do that.

The study put the rats through one of four programs: regular, sustained aerobic exercise; high-intensity interval training (HIT); resistance training; or just a constant non-exercising (sedentary) state. Upon completion of these programs, researchers counted the number of brain cells in a part of the brain that is important in memory.

The three different types of exercise were compared to the sedentary state.

The regular aerobic exercise group of rats had more brain cells. That was not true of the high-intensity interval training or resistance-training groups.

The question is whether such a study in rats offers lessons to us humans. We just don’t know. But I think it could. So I’ve voted with my feet. Instead of four aerobic and three resistance-training exercises each week, I’ve switched to five and two. Who knows? Maybe it will help.

• 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.

Dear Dr. K: I do both aerobic exercises and resistance (strength) training exercises. Recently, I heard aerobic exercise might be better for the brain. Is there any truth to that?

Dear Reader: You probably are referring to a study published in February 2016 that got a lot of media attention. Before getting into the details of that study, it’s worth talking more about exercise and the brain.

It’s no surprise exercising your muscles keeps them (and the heart and lungs) in shape. And it’s no surprise exercising the brain – by doing puzzles, learning a new language, etc. – might keep the brain in shape. What many people don’t know is regular physical exercise also might benefit the brain, along with the muscles, heart and lungs.

The evidence for this is clearest in animals. It is less clear, however, in humans.

For example, studies of people who exercised regularly for eight to 26 weeks could find no clear brain benefit. I would argue, however, you wouldn’t expect to see brain benefits in that short a time.

In fact, this is an example of why it can be so hard to study human beings. Let me explain. If I were to design an ideal study of the effects of exercise on the brain, I would recruit at least a thousand human beings. I’d study their brain function in detail, at the beginning and end of the study, to look for changes.

Then I’d assign them, at random, to either exercise every day or to never exercise – every day, for 10 to 20 years. And I’d check in every day with each of the thousand people, to be sure they were either exercising or not exercising. I think you can see how difficult it would be to

there are secular alternatives to AA. SMART Recovery offers a four-point program aimed at motivation to abstain, coping with cravings, managing negative emotions and finding a life balance. It has face-to-face support groups worldwide, as well as daily online meetings. Like AA, lifetime abstinence is the goal, and meetings and help are free of charge. Unlike AA, lifetime abstinence need not require lifetime attendance at meetings. For information, visit www. smartrecovery.org.

Another group, Women for Sobriety, might be of interest to you because it is non-theistic and aims to empower women and minorities.

The website, www.womenforsobriety.org, does not list its meetings (for reasons of privacy), so to find a group, you will have to make contact within the site.

Last, Secular Organizations for Sobriety (aka Save Our Selves) is sometimes described as a 12-step program minus the religious overtones. To find a list of meetings, visit www. sossobriety.org.

read your column, and I feel for the people who have problems. I have no worries. Although my life has been far from perfect and no bed of roses, here I am at 95 with no serious physical, spiritual, emotional, family or economic problems.

I grew up during the Depression, had wonderful parents, worked my way through college and was married to a loving woman for 67 years. I have four successful children and their spouses and several industrious grandchildren. I also have met a terrific widow who shares the current daily obstacles.

Service in the Navy during World War II and Korea seemed at the time to limit my future career, but in retrospect were experiences I cherish.

Science has been good to me. My knee replacement still permits tennis, three stents keep me alive, vertebra shots eliminate severe pain and I have had a couple of other minor corrections.

That is relatively easy to do when dummy leads the honor, but what about when it comes from declarer’s hand? Then the defender might not know which is the first and which is the last of touching honors. My recommendation is: When declarer leads the first honor, play low smoothly.

For example, look at today’s deal from the point of view of declarer.

How should he plan the play in three no-trump after West leads the spade king?

North made a negative double to show four hearts (or perhaps five or six if his hand was too weak for a two-heart response).

Declarer starts with seven top winners: one spade, four diamonds and two clubs. He does not have time to play on hearts, so must hope to collect four club tricks -- but who has the club queen?

Unless playing against experts or defenders who have read this column, there is a reliable method: After winning with his spade ace (presumably on the third round), South should immediately lead the club jack from his hand.

Maybe West will cover an honor with an honor. Or perhaps he will think about it for a while. If, though, he plays low without any hesitation, declarer should win with dummy’s ace and play a club back to his 10.

If West then produces the queen, South should congratulate his opponent on excellent defense.
