fsarver@shawmedia.com SENECA – At least six tornadoes touched down Wednesday night in counties in north and central Illinois, causing structural damage near Marseilles, Seneca and Pontiac, according to the National Weather Service. The first pronounced weather threat of the summer season resulted in a tornado touching down south of Interstate 80 in Marseilles at 8:59 p.m.

Wednesday, then in Seneca at 9:10 p.m., according to the weather service.

The tornado in the Marseilles-Seneca area had an Enhanced Fujita rating – which measures the intensity of tornadoes – of EF2, according to NWS. Its path length was about 8 miles, with a width of 300 yards. A tornado in Mazon was rated EF0.

The NWS received reports of power lines down and cornfields flattened in areas north of Seneca, as well as a local fire department responding to people trapped in a house in Seneca, meteorologist Ed Fenelon said. Jeff Maierhofer, Seneca FFA adviser and Seneca High School agriculture teacher, wasn’t home when his wife and two children were trapped in the basement of their house, along with seven neighbors who live nearby in trailers and sought shelter at the farm house.

“Thankfully, their trailers were not hit,

but we’ve lost two farmsteads, the one we live in and the farm around the corner,” Maierhofer said Thursday morning.

The family farm where Maierhofer lives has been in the family since 1878.

“We can’t find the centennial farm sign, it must be out in the field somewhere,” he said. “Part of the roof is missing and there are 2-by-4s shot through the side of the house. It’s like a wasteland out here.”

Maierhofer said he’s received hundreds of calls with offers of help, but asked Thursday morning for people to stay home because it was not safe to travel with power lines down and debris scattered.

No major damage

Emergency management officials for Will and Grundy counties said Thursday there was no major damage reported in either county from Wednesday’s storms.

In Will County there were only minor issues, such as fallen branches, while in Grundy County there was one home with shingle and porch damage, as well as power lines, crops and trees down.

Still, the weather was more than Luke Halterman of Mazon bargained for. He was hanging out Wednesday night with friends in Millington when they decided to head into Seneca to take shelter from the incoming storm.

“We got to Woodsmoke Road and a pole snapped in front of us. The power line hit the truck, and all you could hear was buzzing,” he said Wednesday night. “We ended

up in a field and the corn started to lay flat, and I knew we had to get out of there.”

Halterman and his friends decided it would be best to get to a friend’s house north of Seneca and get to the basement.

When they reached East 29th Road, the vehicle started lifting off the ground.

“I’ve never been in anything like that,” he said. “I was so scared. I didn’t know what to do.”

He said electric poles were down all over, and they saw the roof blow off a building at a nearby farm.

“You never think it’s going to happen.

There’s never been a tornado in Seneca that I know of,” Halterman said. “Then you realize you might be in one.”

Rainfall totals

In Will and Grundy counties, residents were mainly affected by several supercell thunderstorms, which are a kind of thunderstorm that can persist for many hours, according to the NWS. “They were responsible for a lot of lightning, heavy rain and sporadic wind damage,” said Fenelon, the meteorologist.

The 24-hour rainfall amount reported in Grundy County was between 1.52 and 2.31 inches, according to the NWS. Dwight had the most rainfall at 2.31 inches and Morris had 2.09 inches.

In Will County, rain fall totals were between 0.26 and 2.16 inches. Joliet and Plainfield had rainfall of 0.78 and 0.74 inches, respectively.

Styx, Trace Adkins and Skinny Williams to perform this weekend

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – It’s Taste time.

Taste of Joliet starts Friday, offering three days of food, fun and music at Joliet’s biggest festival of the summer.

Some 50,000 people can be expected – if.

“That’s what we’re expecting if the weather holds up,” said Brad Staab, deputy director of the Joliet Park District, which runs Taste of Joliet.

The festival runs through Sunday at Memorial Stadium.

Bands are featured each day with a different theme starting with rock on Friday when Styx is the headline act, and followed by country on Saturday featuring Trace Adkins and Frankie Ballard, and jazz and blues on Sunday with Skinny Williams and other performers.

Advance ticket sales are doing well, Staab said.

“We’re about $15,000 ahead of where we were on the same day last year,” Staab said Wednesday. “Ticket sales have been great. The weather may have something to do with that.”

Staab on Wednesday was looking at a forecast indicating a clear weekend.

The National Weather Service forecast issued Thursday was a little more iffy, with a 50 percent chance of thunderstorms Saturday night and Sunday during the day.

But that also is a 50 percent chance of no rain.

Weather always is the biggest worry for Taste organizers and vendors alike, since it can be the biggest factor determining how many people and potential customers are in the stadium.

Food vendors

Even so, the Taste is always a good time, said Jen Howard, owner of TCBY franchises in Shorewood and Naperville and a Taste vendor.

“It’s always great, always weather dependent,” Howard said Thursday while setting up her booth. “But even if you get a rain-out, it’s such a great event. It’s a lot of fun. You see a lot of people you know. Everyone has a smile on their face.”

Vendor Jeremy Olson opened his business, Mr. Salty’s, five years ago at Taste of Joliet.

Olson said he and fiancee Rebecca Glowacki had been talking about

They decided to try it for the first time at Taste of Joliet and got a break from the park district employee signing up vendors.

“They let us in because we were local,” Olson said. “It was kind of

last-minute. After that, it just went crazy. We’re all-around.”

Mr. Salty’s was at Old Canal Days in Lockport last weekend and is at

weekly car shows there and in Plainfield.

Prayer vigil held by students and parents

Former students gather to honor Shabbona teacher Jan Wendling, who died Tuesday

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Jan Wendling was more than a teacher, according to her former students, and she taught them far more than math in her classroom at Shabbona Middle School.

“She wasn’t just your teacher, she was like your mom and your friend,” Rori Griffin said after a prayer vigil held Wednesday morning to honor Jan and Mark Wendling, who were killed Tuesday night when they were struck by a car while riding their bicycles.

Former students and their parents gathered outside the window to the classroom in which Wendling spent more than 15 years educating children.

The group gathered with two pastors from Cross Lutheran Church – which Wendling attended with her family – to pray and share stories of the beloved teacher.

One student talked about Wendling’s love of her traditional chalkboard. Another student added that the students started a petition so she could move her chalkboard to her new classroom at White Oak Elementary School as the two schools combine to one next year.

As each person finished his or her story, another person would share another fond memory, such as singing the quadratic formula, chalk-covered handouts and chicken salad.

Retired teacher Carol Anderson, who spent many years teaching with Wendling, told the students how much Wendling loved every one of them, staying after school and coming in before.

“We hear repeatedly of love and service when we hear about Jan Wendling,” Pastor Erik Gauss said. “That motivation came from her love of God.” He went on to tell the students that it is OK to laugh and cry at the same time. That love was obvious to Alayna Kjellesvik.

“On the second-to-last day of school, she came up to me and told me how much I grew and how I am so beautiful,” Kjellesvik said through tears.

As an educator, Olivia Jenkins and Emma Mote said, Wendling was topnotch. She broke down the work so the

former student of Jan Wendling students could understand what they were learning.

“I enjoyed having her for study halls,” Mote said “She was always on top of us to get our work done.”

Off to the side, watching as the students spoke, were three dogs with blue vests on, covered in patches encouraging people to pet them.

As the vigil wrapped up, the students were encouraged to visit with the trained therapy dogs on hand to help comfort those who need it.

A banner was laid across a table with the handwritten notes of those present, who shared the love for their teacher in bright Crayola marker colors.

Jan and Mark, who worked as an

engineer at the Exelon LaSalle County Generating Station in Marseilles, were riding bicycles westbound about 7 p.m.

Tuesday in the 4500 block of Old Stage Road when they were struck from behind, according to a news release from the Grundy County Coroner’s Office. A 16-year-old Morris teenager was cited for failure to reduce speed to avoid an

accident, according to authorities.

A visitation will be held from 4 to 9 p.m. Friday at Cross Lutheran Church, 8609 Route 47 in Yorkville. A funeral service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Cross Lutheran Church, with Pastor Eric Gauss officiating. Interment will follow in the Chapel Hill Garden South Cemetery in Oak Lawn.

‘Economy growing despite state burden’

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com MOKENA – John Greuling talked about good news and challenging circumstances Thursday at the annual Will County Center for Economic Development’s Eye Opener Breakfast.

The good news was the amount of economic development in Will County, said Greuling, the CED’s chief executive.

“The important message I want to leave with you is, Will County is accelerating,” Greuling told 220 CED members and guests at Tuscany Falls Banquets in Mokena.

He noted 4.1 million square feet of industrial space is under construction, and low vacancy rates at buildings already

in the county mean more construction likely will be on the way.

Development by companies that include Amazon.com, UPS, LG and Ghirardelli means corporations recognize Will County as a place to do business, he said.

But it may be a challenge to keep up the pace as corporate America keeps hearing about problems in Illinois state government. Greuling quoted from CEO Magazine, which listed Illinois among the worst states in the nation for taxation, regulation, workforce and living environment.

“Perception becomes reality,” Greuling said. “This certainly isn’t universal across Illinois. But this is a brand that’s beginning to stick in Illinois.”

Companies looking at Will County look at the condition of the state, too, he said.

“If you’re selling Will County, or you’re selling Frankfort, or you’re selling Joliet, you have that added burden that you have to explain away,” Greuling said. “And, it’s not easy.”

Still, economic numbers in Will County continue to move upward, and development interest remains strong, Greuling said.

“I’ve got to tell you that things in Will County from an economic development standpoint are about as good as they’ve been in 35 years,” he said.

The CED is marking its 35th anniversary this year.

Greuling outlined infrastructure

projects needed in the county to ensure future economic development. They include: • Adding third lanes on Interstate 80 from Route 30 to Minooka • Improving the I-80 interchange at Route 53 in Joliet • Building a future Houbolt Road bridge over the Des Plaines River.

Greuling emphasized the importance of funding local projects through a federal highway bill passed last year in Congress.

“Billions of dollars are needed with no identified funding for these projects,” he said. “At some point do we say we can’t handle any more development because we don’t have the roads? I don’t think we want to say that.”

bstanley@shawmedia.com OTTAWA – An appellate court has overturned a Lemont man’s second-degree murder conviction for a 2011 road rage confrontation that killed a Romeoville man.

An opinion filed last week vacated Christopher M. Yeoman’s second-degree murder conviction and two of Christopher his three aggravated M. Yeoman battery convictions.

Yeoman, who claimed self-defense in the death of Frank Egas during his January 2014 trial, was serving an 18year prison sentence.

“Regardless of how the verbal altercation between defendant and Egas started, there is no dispute in this case that defendant struck Egas only one time in the face with his bare fist.

That conduct alone is not the type of conduct that would generally create a strong probability of death or great bodily harm to the victim,” Justice Robert Carter wrote in a unanimous opinion. “[Yeoman] therefore, could

not have knowledge that such a result was practically certain to occur.”

On June 2, 2011, Yeoman was driving with his family when he gave a “hurry up” tap on the horn to Egas, who was waiting to turn ahead of them on 135th Street in Romeoville.

Egas began yelling, sticking out his middle finger and cutting off Yeoman ’s minivan until the vehicles reached Route 53, where Christopher and Amanda Yeoman got out to confront him.

During the trial, witnesses testified Egas got out and pointed to his chin, telling Yeoman to hit him, and Yeoman did so.

Yeoman testified he felt Egas was going to attack him and acted in self-defense. Egas’ head struck the pavement, causing brain injuries that medical experts testified led to his death three months later at the age of 64.

Yeoman’s conviction for aggravated battery of a senior citizen was upheld by the appellate court but a new sentencing hearing will be held.

Yeoman, 43, who has already served two years behind bars, now faces a three- to seven-year sentence.

JOLIET – About $2.4 million will be distributed by the United Way of Will County to area agencies, the nonprofit announced Thursday.

The funds will go to 46 partner nonprofits in the county that provide a combined 107 programs. The annual disbursement of money helps nonprofits promote youth success, healthy lifestyles, safer communities and self-sufficiency.

United Way of Will County Marketing Director Jackie Cartner said the organization’s Impact and Investment Council make recommendations to the Board of Directors who decide, based on need, which nonprofits receive funds and in what amount. When applying, nonprofits are asked to apply and verify their respective causes, in addition to demonstrating the need for the services they provide.

Cartner said a majority of the funds went to nonprofits in the immediate Joliet area, but the organization hopes to attract more applications from other areas of the county in the future.

“Probably the biggest thing with this release is to gain additional nonprofits,” Cartner said. “We’d like to get additional folks, not just in Joliet, to apply.”

Any 501(c)(3) in the county can apply throughout the year to United Way of Will County for program funding.

One example of this is the Northern Illinois Food Bank’s BackPack Program, which will receive its first assistance from United Way. The program supplies children of Will County with food-filled backpacks for weekend meals.

Northern Illinois Food Bank President and CEO Julie Yurko said in a news release that funding from the United Way will give the backpacks to 350 Will County children who aren’t involved in a school food program.

Now in its 33rd year, the United Way of Will County has given out more than $85 million in fundraised dollars to area nonprofits.

For information regarding the programs United Way of Will County funds or to receive a funding application, visit www.uwwill.org or email Loren Yaksich at loren@uwwill.org.

JOLIET – Taylor Babec is a 14-year-old incoming freshman at Plainfield Central High School, with the rest of her life in front of her.

Nine years ago, things weren’t looking so positive. She was diagnosed with lymphoma at age 5. What followed was a grueling three-year battle for recovery.

Between June and October 2008, she received 22 blood transfusions.

Thursday morning, Babec’s face was revealed on one of Heartland Blood Centers’ mobile coaches during a blood drive at the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. It was the 10th drive held there in the last four years, and it was organized

by Babec’s mother, Jennifer Babec, who volunteers for Heartland.

“For her to live, I felt I had to give back,” Jennifer said. “There’s still people with the need for blood transfusions.

I never want a loved one to have to find blood. There is enough on their plates.”

The Babecs have been active with Heartland for eight years. Jennifer said everything has come full circle.

“Oh my word,” Jennifer said of her daughter’s face on the bus. “It’s a sign of what we’ve put into this. It’s totally rewarding and unexpected.”

Taylor downplayed the new artwork,

favor. Many family friends were not as fortunate, however. Sometimes, trying everything isn’t enough.

“It’s just the cards that were dealt for them,” she said with tears flowing.

Lymphoma wasn’t the only battle the Babecs were fighting. Jennifer said her husband had two strokes during Taylor’s recovery, and their house was twice hit by lightning.

“I found out my husband lost his job at our first blood drive,” Jennifer said.

“Things had to change. We’re happy now.”

Will County State’s Attorney’s Office spokesman Chuck Pelkie is neighbors with the Babec family, and formed the connection between Heartland and the state’s attorney’s office.

As of Thursday morning, drives at the office’s parking lot had collected 521 units of blood in four years. Will County State’s Attorney James Glasgow said the office collected 139 units the first time, and the average per event has gone down since, Photo provided but he hoped to hit 100 units Thursday.

SHAW MEDIA FRANKFORT – The Frankfort Village Board approved earlier this week the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency loan program for the financing of the wastewater facility plan.

This approval for $11.4 million came during Monday’s board meeting and represents the first phase of the multi-year project, according to a news release from the village.

The total project cost is estimated at $61 million and upon completion will consolidate the two closed West and North wastewater treatment plants into the Regional Plant, which should have enhanced efficiency, lower operating costs and regulatory compliance. The Facility Plan was adopted in fall 2015 after two years of public discussion and planning review.

“This major construction project will have a positive effect on our community as we plan for the next 20 years. Securing the IEPA loan at an interest rate of 1.86 percent, which is one-half of the market rate, provides the opportunity to manage this proj-

MINOOKA – The hot topic for the Minooka District 201 board meeting Wednesday was how to create an incentive for residents to enroll their children in schools in a timely manner, which has been a problem in recent years.

The district has had an influx of enrollment in late July and early August, which has caused a last-minute need to hire teachers and support staff.

Because of late enrollment for the 2015-16 school year, Jones Elementary Principal Rodney Hiser said he could not hand out all the class assignments before the first day of school, which has always been standard procedure.

“I didn’t want to assign kids to classrooms and then have to change their classes last minute because of late enrollment,” Hiser said.

Superintendent Kris Monn said on top of late enrollment, home construction has grown and over the past three weeks 25 homes have sold in the subdivisions that feed into Jones Elementary.

Additionally, Minooka Elementary and Minooka Junior High are “predicted to bust at the seams” with students slated to register, with new students not in the count, he said.

Monn said the district has offered a $4 early registration discount incentive, but it was not successful.

One proposed idea was to intertwine a new technology fee with an incentive to register for the 2016-17 academic year.

This would give parents until June 30 to register to avoid paying the fee, but the idea was met with intense discussion and the board was split.

With $78,295 in student device lease payments, $24,000 for DEPCO support

and modules, $25,904 for instructional software and support, and 4,500 students, the fee per student would be $28.49 per year. Monn offered that rate and another rate of $16 for board discussion.

“To keep our total fee within the middle of the pack, administration is recommending a technology fee of $16 to be added to the current registration fee of $154 effective July 1, 2016,” Monn said.

Board members Curt Jebens and Ed Cronin were in favor of the proposal and Cronin was confident it would offer an incentive for people to register within the June 30 deadline to have the fee waived.

“If families don’t get the message, because it’s only a week away, I think we’ll get a black eye if families miss out on the discount because they weren’t aware of the offer,” board member Al Skwarczynski said.

Jebens’ argument was that people move to Minooka for great schools and therefore should expect to pay for that service.

“Nothing is free. If they want to come to Minooka for a good education, they are going to get it, but it comes at a price,” Jebens said.

After a motion to accept the $28.49 technology fee and place a deadline of June 30 to entice families to register by Jebens, which was seconded by Cronin, the fee failed with Skwarczynski, board member John Clucas and board President Jim Satorius opposed. Board members Doug Martin and Vicki Allen were absent.

Monn said the board will revisit the technology fee in spring 2017 as an incentive to register early. The board asked residents to register to help avoid the need for last minute hires and classroom reorganization.

Durango style, utility make it the class leader The 2016 Durango offers top form and function. Simply stated, while its competitors do well in one and pretty well in the other, Dodge has figured a way to top the charts in both.

Durango does this by offering utility and convenience, advanced technology, classleading towing and driving range, confidenceboosting driving dynamics and aggressive styling in one package.

“The Dodge Durango is the Charger of the full-size SUV segment. There’s not another seven-passenger, rear-wheel-drive based SUV like it on the road,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of Passenger Car Brands -- Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and FIAT – for FCA North America.

“We see a great response when we give our Dodge and SRT customers the opportunity to make their vehicles unique, so offering new custom exterior options is just one way we plan to continue to keep building on Durango’s success.”

Consider standards. This seven-passenger, five-door SUV has third-row seating that is actually spacious enough for adults. It offers 85 cubic feet of cargo space with fold-flat seats, standard V-6 engine with good gas mileage, eight-speed automatic transmission with rotary shifter and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters, fuel-saving engine stop/start, and an instrument panel that makes access and use easier than it deserves to be.

The panel features a center stack that houses the 5-inch (or optional 8.4inch) Uconnect touchscreen. Under these easy-to-use touchscreens are redundant button and knob controls for audio and climate functions.

Former UN General Assembly chief dies The ASSOCIATED PRESS DOBBS FERRY, N.Y. – Former U.N. General Assembly President John Ashe of the twin-island Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda died on Wednesday in the United States as he was facing criminal charges in a bribery case. He was 61.

Ashe died at his home in Dobbs Ferry, New York, according to Sgt. Vincent Ingani, of the Dobbs Ferry Police Department. He gave no other details.

Current U.N. General Assembly President Mogens Lykketoft confirmed his death, saying Ashe died of a heart attack.

“Despite the many as yet unproven accusations made against him, Mr. Ashe was for many years a hard-working and popular member of the diplomatic corps in New York and at the United Nations,” Lykketoft said in a statement. “I know that his death will come as sad news to the many professional friends and colleagues he made during his time here.”

Ashe was a former U.N. ambassador from Antigua and Barbuda who served in the largely ceremonial post of president of the 193-nation assembly from

others including a billionaire Chinese real estate mogul, two diplomats and a humanitarian organization officer.

Ashe pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his lawyer had said he would be vindicated. It wasn’t clear how Ashe’s death would affect the bribery case.

“It’s a tragic loss for his family and the community. He was preparing to fight his case at trial,” said Ashe’s attorney, Jeremy Schneider.

Ashe held a doctorate in bioengineering from the University of Pennsylvania. He joined the foreign service in 1989 and was awarded the Companion of the Order of St. Michael and St. George by Queen Elizabeth II in 2007 for his global diplomatic service, according to his U.N. biography.

As a diplomat, Ashe was heavily involved in sustainable development issues, taking leadership roles in some of the major U.N. environmental agreeAP file photo ments.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – Illinois officials and residents began assessing damage Thursday after six tornadoes damaged rural communities in the northern part of the state amid powerful storms that swept across the Upper Midwest.

The National Weather Service said an EF2 tornado with estimated top wind speeds of 115 to 125 mph cut a path more than 11 miles long and about four football fields wide into the city of Pontiac on Wednesday night. Officials said at least seven people were injured in that tornado. Survey crews also identified three EF1 tornadoes, with maximum winds up to 110 mph, that struck Cissna Park, near Ottawa and West Brooklyn.

No injuries resulted from those storms.

“We are fortunate things are not worse and are thankful there were no fatalities,” Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner said in a Thursday morning statement.

In the Pontiac area, about two dozen homes – 10 to 15 outside of the city and 13 within the city limits – and nine commercial businesses were damaged, according to Pontiac Fire Chief Scott Runyon.

Illinois insurance co-op sues feds over health law payments

CHICAGO – A struggling Illinois health insurance co-op is suing the federal government, claiming it is being shortchanged $72.8 million in promised payments under the Affordable Care Act. Chicago-based Land of Lincoln Health filed the lawsuit Thursday in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. At least four other insurers have filed similar claims over the socalled risk corridor payments, a temporary provision of the health care law meant to help unprofitable insurers and stabilize consumer prices during the first three years of the law’s new insurance exchanges.

ranged from minor shingle damage and tree damage, to pretty extensive window repair and holes, but trees did most of the damage to the residential homes,” Runyon said during a news conference, The Daily Leader newspaper in Pontiac reported.

“Some of the commercial buildings were reporting relatively minor damage, but the majority of the reports are fairly severe. It’s going to take a great deal of money to get these repaired,” Runyon said.

The storm system produced dimesize hail in some areas, and its high

sheet has been deteriorating rapidly. The 3-year-old startup lost $90 million in 2015 and $7 million in the first quarter of 2016.

As it fights to remain solvent, Land of Lincoln also announced Thursday it will withdraw from the group market for 2017 and is informing more than 800 employers with contracts.

Land of Lincoln will fulfill its obligations for 2016, but will not renew group policies, said company President and interim CEO Jason Montrie.

It intends to stay in the individual market, where it covers about 42,000 Illinois residents, Montrie said.

Proposed Illinois gun plan receiving bipartisan support

SPRINGFIELD – A measure has been introduced in the Illinois Legislature that would allow Illinois State Police to notify the FBI if someone on a terrorist watch list applies for a firearm ownership card.

winds snapped trees, blew roofs off buildings and downed power lines. The weather service reported winds from 80 mph to 100 mph in some parts of northern Indiana.

The northwestern Indiana town of Brookston – among those buffeted by the high winds – declared a state of emergency Thursday after the entire town lost power. WLFI-TV reported two state highways in the town were blocked by storm debris, and authorities were warning people to avoid the area.

Firefighters responded to reports of

The Daily Herald reported that the same measure also would add people involved in terrorist threats to the list of those who can have their ownership cards denied or revoked.

Democratic state Rep. Greg Harris said he had been working on the measure since before the Orlando, Florida, shooting this month that killed 49 in a gay nightclub.

“There were not good mechanisms in place to become alert to those warning signs,” Harris said.

State Rep. Ed Sullivan, a Mundelein Republican and key negotiator of the Illinois law that allows people to carry concealed weapons in public, is working with Harris and is the lead Republican on the plan.

Illinois State Rifle Association Executive Director Richard Pearson said he is OK with the plan if it doesn’t change.

“It helps, but it’s not overly intrusive into gun owners’ rights,” Pearson said.

“Nobody’s hurt. Everybody’s fine.

All the neighbors are fine. Everybody checked in with everybody. But there’s a lot of damage,” Maierhofer told WLSTV. In nearby Serena, Nate Hermann said he drove his pickup truck around 10 square miles and found farmland “wiped out everywhere.”

Survey: 1M people lost services due to Illinois budget fight

CHICAGO – A new survey of Illinois human service providers shows nearly two-thirds have cut programs because of the state budget standoff, leaving almost 1 million people without services.

The United Way of Illinois released results Wednesday of a survey of 429 agencies that have contracts with the state.

Illinois owes those waiting to be paid an average of $525,000.

The percentage of agencies that have made cuts was up from 48 percent in January.

More than half of agencies said they will have to stop serving clients if the stalemate continues another six months.

Nearly 60 percent have used cash reserves.

The areas hardest hit were substance abuse services, childhood education and mental health treatment.

Lawmakers have gone almost a year without agreeing on a budget.

Videos released showing attacks by Cook jail inmates

CHICAGO – Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart is releasing videos of inmates attacking deputies at the jail he oversees after his release of other videos showing excessive force by deputies.

Dart said Thursday that the incidents took place in the maximum-security divisions where the most violent and disruptive inmates are housed.

The release of the videos is part of an effort Dart initiated when he said in April that he was releasing the excessive-force videos because the public had a right to see them.

In a news release, Dart suggested the inmate videos illustrate the dangers faced by those who work in the jail.

He said more videos will be released when investigations are completed and prosecutors file criminal charges against the inmates.

Split Supreme Court nixes Obama’s immigration plans

By MARK SHERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – A short-handed and deeply divided Supreme Court deadlocked Thursday on President Barack Obama’s immigration plan to help millions living in the U.S. illegally, effectively killing the plan for the rest of his presidency and raising the stakes even further for the November elections.

The hotly debated direction of America’s national immigration policy as well as the balance of power on the high court now will be determined in large part by the presidential and congressional elections. Immigration and the court vacancy created by Justice Antonin Scalia’s death in February already were featuring prominently in the campaign.

Scalia’s vote likely would have meant an outright ruling against Obama’s immigration expansion rather than the 4-4 tie, a much more significant defeat for the president and immigrant advocates.

Democrat Hillary Clinton declared that as president she would work to restore the programs and go further. Republican Donald Trump said he would make sure Obama’s “unconstitutional actions” never came back.

On immigration, the tie is not likely to lead to an increase in deportations since the president retains ample discretion to decide whom to deport. But the ruling stymies his effort to bring people “out from the shadows” by giving them the right to work legally in the U.S. One of the Obama programs would have protected the parents of children who are in the country legally. The other was an expansion of a program that benefits people who were brought to the U.S. as children. Obama decided to move forward on his own after Republicans won control of the Senate in 2014 and the chances for an immigration overhaul, already remote, were further damaged.

Obama said Thursday’s impasse “takes us further from the country we aspire to be.”

The candidates vying to replace him split as plainly as the justices.

Clinton, the presumptive Democratic nominee, said if elected she will defend the Obama programs “and do everything possible under the law to go further to protect families.”

Republican Trump, on the other hand, said the court outcome “blocked one of the most unconstitutional actions ever undertaken by a president” and the split decision ‘makes clear what’s at stake in November.”

And the people directly affected?

Mexican immigrant Cristina Molina of New York City, said she was frustrated and upset. “I feel like I’m in limbo,” Molina, 48, said through an interpreter. She has lived in the United States for 23 years and said she would have been eligible for one of the programs Obama announced in 2014.

A Supreme Court tie sets no national precedent but leaves in place a ruling by a lower court. The justices issued a one-sentence opinion, with no further comment.

A full nine-justice court agreed to hear the case in January, but by the time of the arguments in late April, Scalia had died. That left eight justices to decide the case, and the court presumably split along liberal-conservative lines, although no breakdown was announced.

The federal appeals court in New Orleans had said the Obama administration lacked the authority to shield up to 4 million immigrants from deportation and make them eligible for work permits without approval from Congress. That ruling now remains in place.

Texas had led 26 Republican-dominated states in challenging the Obama initiatives in court. The lawsuit was heard by U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen in Brownsville, Texas.

Hanen previously had criticized the administration for lax immigration enforcement.

Editor’s Note: Scott Reeder originally wrote this column seven years ago. But in the wake of the Orlando shooting, he believes it remains as relevant today.

SPRINGFIELD – I took my 3-yearold daughter, Grace, fishing the other day.

We talked about the ducks, geese and boats floating in the lake, her favorite cartoons and the brand-new Barbie life jacket she was wearing.

After about three hours wiggling on a dock staring at a bobber that refused to go under, she exclaimed “I think all of the fish have gone on vacation to a different lake.”

But since then, she has begged me to take her fishing again.

I guess uninterrupted time with Dad was more important than how many bluegills we reeled in.

So I took her to a “big box” sporting goods store and let her pick out her very own fishing pole. She chose one with the cartoon character Sponge Bob embossed on the reel.

After loading the fishing pole into the cart we wandered into the firearms section.

I occasionally hunt, but more often than not with two kids and a busy job I just don’t have the time.

I have about as much passion for the 12-gauge shotgun locked in my closet as I do for the hammer on my workbench or the tire iron in my SUV. They are just tools, nothing more.

This retailer didn’t put firearms behind a counter like in most stores.

Instead, the guns were attached to tethers so customers could hold them unsupervised – but not walk away with them.

What I saw that day and in earlier visit to the store, frightened me.

A couple of junior high kids were playing with a rifle and pointed it toward me and other customers.

I remembered my father’s admonitions when I was their age: • “Never point a gun at something you don’t plan to shoot.”

• “Always assume a gun is loaded.”

• “Never count on a gun’s safety.”

I started handling guns when I was 9 or 10. A reverent respect for firearms was instilled in me by my father and older brother. I see that same deference to guns in my nephew and many other young hunters.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

REEDER REPORT Scott Reeder But I didn’t see that same quiet respect in those teenagers at the store.

Instead of tools for harvesting game they seemed to view guns as macho playthings.

Some of the “adults” shopping in the gun department weren’t much different.

They were oooing and awing over guns dolled up to look like military weapons. (The gun control crowd likes to call them “assault weapons.”)

There’s a word for all those “assault weapon” add-ons – like bayonet holders, detachable magazines and pistol grips – it is called “marketing.”

Just as my 3-year-old thought a “Sponge Bob” fishing reel would be “way cool” these fellows seemed drawn to firearms with macho doodads attached.

Here’s a hint, guys: • They don’t fire off bullets any faster than a regular hunting rifle.

• Wildlife doesn’t care what the gun looks like (and neither does your wife.)

• If you need more than 10 bullets in your rifle, you must be a pretty lousy shot.

• It’s OK to go out in public wearing something other than camouflage – really.

And to urban lawmakers who keep trying to ban “assault weapons” – these guns aren’t any more deadly than what hunters have carried for generations. And the more you shout, the more guns are sold to people afraid they will soon be banned.

The problem isn’t what the guns look like – it’s who is behind the trigger.

That’s a problem that won’t be solved by passing another law in Springfield or Washington. It can only be solved with good parenting.

Have all the good parents gone on vacation?

OUR VIEW

More reasons to reform how districts are drawn

If you need any more reasons in favor of reforming Illinois’ highly partisan redistricting process, The Associated Press came up with several this week.

The AP reported that minorities are greatly underrepresented in the 177-seat Illinois Legislature.

For example, Latinos make up nearly 17 percent of the state’s population, but have just over 7 percent representation in the Legislature.

Asians make up 5 percent of Illinois’ population, but have no representation in the Legislature.

Overall, whites make up 62 percent of Illinois population, but hold nearly 75 percent of the seats in the House and Senate combined.

The AP analyzed U.S. Census Bureau data to determine how closely representation in the Legislature matched the demographics of Illinois residents.

Clearly, the current redistricting process, whereby majority politicians draw the maps every 10 years, doesn’t serve the people well.

Democrats controlled the process the last time in 2011. They drew maps that increased their 64-54 House seat advantage in 2010 to 71-47 after the 2012 election.

Likewise, Democratic-drawn maps boosted Democrats’ Senate seat advantage from 35-24 after the 2010 election to 40-19 after 2012.

When politicians manipulate district maps, they skew results in their favor, no matter the consequences to fair representation.

Map manipulation also suppresses competition. That suppression continues in 2016.

A check of Illinois State Board of Elections candidate lists details the shocking lack of competition for legislative seats in November.

More than 59 percent of House seats are uncontested – 70 out of 118.

Worse, fully 70 percent (28 out of 40) races for Senate seats are uncontested.

Given Illinois’ many financial and budgetary problems, the lack of contested legislative races is unbelievable.

Fortunately, the State Board of Elections recently approved the Independent Map Amendment for the November ballot – pending a lawsuit by allies of powerful Democratic House Speaker Michael Madigan to suppress this common-sense reform effort to depoliticize the process.

Madigan is the same guy who for decades has heavily influenced the inequitable, partisan redistricting system that is unfair to minorities, skews election results, stifles competition, and thwarts the will of the people.

THE HERALD-NEWS SOFTBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR

Lincoln-Way West’s No. 1 pitcher, hitter heads all-area softball team

By KAITLYN JASNICA

NEW LENOX – It was the bottom of the seventh with two outs and runners on first and third. The pressure was on.

After Amanda Ruskowsky threw the second strike, she noticed the other team’s chants growing louder in desperate efforts to psyche her out.

The game was on her shoulders.

Strike three.

For an 8-year-old Ruskowsky, that is one of the moments that made her fall in love with softball.

Ten years have passed since that moment, but the senior pitcher now will have another great memory to add. After posting a spectacular season for Lincoln-Way West, Ruskowsky is named The Herald-News Softball Player of the Year.

“I love the game. I’ve always just loved being out there,” Ruskowsky said. “I’ve pitched since I started, and I’ve always liked being able to have the ball in my hand. Being able to make people look silly swinging at pitches made me feel good. Also, watching DI college softball, like Michigan, made me realize this is really an awesome game and if you put in the work, greatness can come out of it.”

“I can’t say enough about Amanda Ruskowsky and what she has meant to our program,” Lincoln-Way West coach Heather Novak said. “Anyone who has followed softball in our area knows Amanda has been a vital key to our growth as a program and success over the past four years.

“Though Amanda’s stats speak for themselves, it’s what people don’t see in her stats that has made her such a truly special player. She is an incredible example of commitment to a team and how an athlete should play the game.”

DUAL THREAT

If the stats could speak, they would let everyone know Ruskowsky is a dual threat.

This season, she posted a 17-6 record with 190 strikeouts and a 0.95 ERA to go with a .443 batting average.

Aside from leading West from the circle, Ruskowsky also was first in batting average, on-base percentage (.505) and doubles (12).

She also ranks high in the Warriors’ record books in multiple categories including: first in ERA (1.71),

THANK YOU, WARRIORS

Lincoln-Way West senior Amanda Ruskowsky finished the season with a 17-6 record and a 0.95 ERA. She also recorded 190 strikeouts. season ERA (0.95) and home runs (14); second in wins (46), strikeouts (458), opponents’ batting average (.206) and WHIP (0.939), and third in batting average (.433), RBIs (96), total bases (219) and runs (109).

Entering her junior year, Ruskowsky had the challenge of filling Morghan Dieringer’s shoes. That experience prepared her for what she could face next.

Ruskowsky decided to continue her career at Saint Xavier University since the Cougars have successful softball and pre-med programs. She will compete to fill the pitching spot for the NAIA national runner-up since twotime NAIA Pitcher of the Year Nicole Nonnemacher just finished her senior season.

Even though it might be daunting for some, the challenge merely excites her and makes her want to get better.

That’s another thing that separates the player of the year from some other athletes. Ruskowsky believes she was able to accomplish what she has because of the amount of work she’s put in.

When she was young, her father decided to coach her recreation softball team. He helped her fall in love with the sport. He took her to the cages three times a week.

She kept that hard-work attitude throughout high school. At every 5 a.m. practice, Novak said, the pitcher was the first one in the parking lot.

“Amanda’s work ethic is second to none,” Novak said. “It is unusual to find a high school athlete who is as focused in practice as she is in games.

But this describes Amanda. She doesn’t take a rep off and takes advantage of every opportunity to become a better player.”

PODLESNY INFLUENCE

It’s strange to think that if Ruskowsky hadn’t met a certain pitching coach that she wouldn’t have continued to play softball.

She had a bad experience with a coach going into high school who made her doubt her ability and make her want to quit the sport. Then she met Warriors pitching coach Jack Podlesny.

And she would not have wanted to spend her six days a week with any other team or at any other school.

Ruskowsky said that her success resulted from her Warriors teammates.

Every game, she wanted to pitch lights out because of the girls that were on the field and on the bench with her.

Even though she’s excited to face the challenge at Saint Xavier, she admits it will be hard. It will be hard for her to leave coach Novak, whom she always wants to keep in her back pocket, the team she loved and the program that let her play four years of varsity softball.

She wants to thank all of them for her high school experience.

“To the upcoming junior class, I want to tell them that they are going to do big things,” Ruskowsky said. “I have all of the pride in the world that I got to play with them for two years, and I can’t wait to see what they do in the next two years.

“To the upcoming seniors, I want them to have a great senior season and kick some butt. Leave your legacy on Lincoln-Way West softball. To my fellow seniors that graduated, I want to say thank you for the four years that I have gotten to spend with you. They have been the greatest four years of my life, and keep in touch.”

• Friday, June 24, 2016

“He gave me the confidence in myself on the mound,” Ruskowsky admitted. “I went from hating softball to being the person I am today and having the game I have today. He’s a great person, and I am so happy to have met him in my journey through softball.”

If she had not been influenced by those coaches who taught her how to love the game and work hard to get better, she wouldn’t keep adding treasured softball memories.

She wouldn’t have turned the double play and homered over right field fence when she played second base as a sophomore.

She wouldn’t have helped Lincoln-Way West win its only two regional titles in 2013 and 2016.

Those experiences made her think the same thing each time.

“I thought this is why I loved playing this sport when I was 7 years old, and that’s why I want to keep doing it for four more years,” Ruskowsky said.

“There are things that just draw you back in. They remind you what made you start doing this six days a week.”

Slammers earn split with Windy City CRESTWOOD – After being limited to just two hits on Wednesday, which was their second-lowest total of the season, the Joliet Slammers were hoping to bring the bats back out in Thursday’s series finale at Windy City.

But that figured to be easier said than done with one of the ThunderBolts’ best hurlers, Jake Fisher, on the mound for the Frontier League contest.

However, Joliet countered with one of its top starters, Liam O’Sullivan, and with his teammates supplying him with some run support, that helped the Slammers to earn a split in the brief two-game series between leaders in the East Division standings.

Joliet scored a run in the first inning and then scored three more in the sixth as it went on to capture a 6-2 victory over Windy City at Standard Bank Stadium.

As a result of their first victory in six tries this season over the ThunderBolts (21-14), the Slammers (21-15) moved back to within one-half game of the division lead.

The squads will meet six more times this season, with each of the remaining contests taking place at Silver Cross Field. The next games will be played from July 1 to 3.

Thursday’s pitching matchup featured not only two of the league’s five unbeaten hurlers with at least three decisions to their credit, but also two of its top pitchers in ERA. O’Sullivan entered with a 3-0 record and 2.23 ERA, which was fourth-best the league, while Fisher was 4-0 with a 2.52 ERA, which was the league’s second-best mark.

Both pitchers were at the top of their games through the initial five frames, allowing just one run apiece.

But Joliet finally solved Fisher in the sixth, scoring three times to knock him from the contest after collecting

seven hits and four runs in 52/3 innings.

Meanwhile, O’Sullivan turned in his squad’s sixth-consecutive quality start. During that stretch, Joliet pitchers allowed no more than two runs while going at least five innings.

O’Sullivan allowed seven hits and two runs while striking out five through eight innings.

The Slammers took control in the sixth after Phil Bates led off with an infield hit and moved up on a wild pitch. With one out, Alfredo Rodriguez made it 2-1 with a single to center.

Following a single by Boo Vazquez (2 for 4), Fisher recorded his seventh strikeout. But Marc Flores singled to left to bring in Rodriguez for his 29th RBI to make it a 3-1 game. Then Jake Gronsky singled to center to score Vazquez.

In the first inning, Joliet grabbed the early lead after scratching out a run after the first two batters had been retired. Vazquez started things off with an infield and Carter Bell followed with a double to right to make it a 1-0 game. That was Bell’s 35th RBI of the season, which leads the Frontier League.

Windy City evened the score in the third after John Williams doubled and Tim Zier (2 for 4) followed with a run-scoring single to center.

The ThunderBolts pulled to within 4-2 in the eighth inning when Coco Johnson smacked a solo home run to left.

But the Slammers responded by scoring two runs in the ninth. Facing the ThunderBolts’ fifth of six pitchers on the night, Flores led off with a walk, Gronsky was hit by a pitch, and Casey Fletcher reached on a fielder’s choice to load the bases with no outs. Joe Staley followed with a two-run double to left. Reliever Kevin McNorton retired the side in the ninth.

Joliet returns to action Friday with the first of three games in a weekend series against Lake Erie at Silver Cross Field.

24 RED SOX 8, WHITE SOX 7 (10 INN.)

Red Sox beat White Sox in 10 inn.

By JIMMY GOLEN

The Associated Press BOSTON – The Boston Red Sox were in danger of capping an awful month-long stretch by being swept in four games by the similarly struggling White Sox. Then they called on Craig Kimbrel to shut things down.

Pitching two full innings for the first time in more than five years Thursday, the Red Sox closer got out of a bases-loaded jam with nobody out in the 10th, and Xander Bogaerts delivered the winning single in the bottom half to give Boston an 8-7 victory over the White Sox. The White Sox led 3-0, 4-1 and 7-5 before Boston sent it into extra innings with a run in the seventh and another in the eighth.

The White Sox loaded the bases with nobody out in the 10th, but Kimbrel (1-3) got J.B. Shuck on an infield popup and then struck out Tim Anderson and Adam Eaton.

“We had some golden opportunities,” White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. “We just couldn’t hold

them. We were walking some people, letting them have some good opportunities. We got ourselves into some good opportunities and they got out of them.”

In the bottom half, Matt Purke (01) walked two before Bogaerts lined one up the middle and Mookie Betts scored easily from second.

In all, Kimbrel allowed one hit and walked two while striking out three in two innings for his first American League win.

“He shut it down,” Bogaerts said.

“I mean, that’s how nasty he is. He’s pretty filthy, one of the best closers in the game. And obviously that’s what we all expect from him.”

James Shields pitched his best outing in four starts since being acquired by the White Sox on June 4. Jose Abreu hit a three-run homer and Alex Avila had four hits for the White Sox, who have lost 27 of their past 40 games.

Betts, Bogaerts, Dustin Pedroia and Hanley Ramirez had two hits apiece for the Red Sox, who improved to 11-15 in their past 26 games. Boston’s leadoff hitter reached safely seven times in 10 innings.

Cubs fall to Marlins for 4th straight loss

By STEVEN WINE

MIAMI – Giancarlo Stanton homered in the fourth inning and singled home the go-ahead run with two outs in the eighth, helping the Miami Marlins send the Cubs to their fourth consecutive defeat, 4-2, on Thursday night.

Stanton’s two hits hiked his average to .216.

The Cubs still have the best record in the majors, despite their longest losing streak of the season. The game marked the start of a season-high 11game trip for the Cubs, and came after they were swept in a three-game series at Wrigley Field by the Cardinals.

Jon Lester allowed only two runs in seven innings, but Miami ended his streak of wins in five consecutive starts. The Cubs’ David Ross led off the eighth with his sixth homer to make the score 2-all.

Christian Yelich started Miami’s rally in the bottom of the eighth with a one-out walk against Pedro Strop (1-2).

He advanced on a wild pitch and scored standing up on Stanton’s opposite-field single.

J.T. Realmuto followed with an RBI double.

Kyle Barraclough (4-2) pitched a

The Cubs managed just seven hits and have totaled nine runs during their losing streak.

Miami’s Marcell Ozuna made a costly error in center field and then atoned for the misplay by hitting his 16th homer in the sixth.

Stanton’s homer was his 14th.

Wei-Yin Chen took a 2-1 lead into the eighth but departed after he allowed Ross’ homer. Over the past three games, the Marlins’ starting pitchers have allowed two runs in 22 innings.

The Cubs’ Jason Heyward singled to start the fourth and continued to third when Ozuna let the ball roll past him.

Kris Bryant followed with a sacrifice fly to put the Cubs ahead, 1-0.

The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The Bulls drafted Michigan State small forward Denzel Valentine with the 14th overall pick in the NBA Draft on Thursday.

The 2015-16 AP national player of the year, Valentine joins a team that traded former MVP Derrick Rose to New York on Wednesday in a blockbuster. The deal that brought one of the most successful and disappointing periods in the franchise’s history to an end.

Valentine averaged 19.2 points per game, 7.5 rebounds, and 7.8 assists last season. But a lingering knee injury might have raised concerns for some teams.

The Bulls, which also held the 48th pick, is in transition after missing the playoffs for the first time since 2008 in its first season under coach Fred Hoiberg. The Bulls sent guard Justin Holiday and a 2017 second-round pick with Rose to New York in exchange for center Robin Lopez and guards Jose Calderon and Jerian Grant.

But more than anything, the deal was a turn-the-page moment. It signaled the official end to a feel-good story that went awry years ago.

With Rose at his explosive best, the Bulls soared to heights they had not experienced since Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen led them to a pair of championship three-peats in

But the story changed when he tore the ACL in his left knee in the 2012 playoff opener. He sat out the following season and had his long-awaited comeback cut short by a torn meniscus in his right knee. The old explosiveness never returned on a consistent basis, and Rose did not mesh on the court with All-Star Jimmy Butler.

He also talked openly about becoming a free agent in 2017.

Former Elwood woman to appearing in musical adaptation of ‘Northanger Abbey’ Jenifer Tyler started acting at former Joliet East High School

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

ELWOOD – “Northanger Abbey,” the musical?

Such an adaption excited former Elwood resident and veteran actress Jenifer Tyler, so she started singing with a voice teacher for the purpose of auditioning for it.

“We do a lot of Jane Austen at Lifeline Theatre. We have a huge base following of patrons who love Jane Austen and come to see her work,” said Tyler, of Chicago. “This was a title that’s not done very much. Not many people know about it. ... It was a dream come true to get on the stage in a singing role.”

Lifeline Theatre is presenting “Northanger Abbey,” a world premiere musical based on the novel by Jane Austen. Lifeline Theatre ensemble member Robert Kauzlaric adapted the story line for stage production.

Music and lyrics are by George How. The story, according to a news release, is: The innocent and imaginative Catherine Morland leaves her quiet country home for the splendors of Bath. Immersed in a new world of parties, balls and high society with only her literary heroines as examples, Catherine is soon caught in a web of social scheming.

KNOW MORE According to www.lifelinetheatre.com, five Northwestern University graduates founded the award-winning Lifeline Theatre in 1982, which moved into its permanent home in 1985 in a converted Commonwealth Edison substation in the Rogers Park neighborhood.

Lifeline includes a 99-seat theater; rehearsal and office space; a scene shop; and costume, prop and scenery storage. In addition to supporting artists in adaptations and new works, Lifeline offers drama camps, internships, artist-in-residence programs and student matinees.

Tyler plays two roles. One is Mrs. Allen, the woman who brings Catherine to Bath. The other is General Tilney’s wife, as Catherine imagines her, for Mrs. Tilney was already deceased when Catherine arrived at Northanger Abbey.

“One is shallow and all about her clothes and how they look and how much money they have and bringing Catherine to Bath and presenting her in public,” Tyler said. “She’s very much about the externals and not really a warm character. She’s funny and a little out there. And then there’s Mrs. Tilney, this tragic character, incredibly heartfelt and sad.”

Tyler said Kauzlaric and How played up Catherine’s fantasy notion that something terrible happened at Northanger Abbey by creating “lovely scenes and beautiful little songs” for Tyler as Mrs. Tilney.

At one point, Tyler even sings a

duet with Stephanie Stockstill, the actress portraying Catherine. The opportunity to play two very different characters in the same production, while not having to carry the weight of the show in a lead role, is more than Tyler had aspired to.

“I would have been happy to have a small chorus part,” she said.

For Tyler, “Northanger Abbey” brings her acting experience full circle to her musical theater childhood.

Because she often sang in the car and sang well, a cousin who attended the former Joliet East High School introduced Tyler to its theater director.

The upcoming production was “The Sound of Music,” and the director was looking for children to fill certain roles.

Tyler was given a part. She was 6.

From there, Tyler said she participated in theater summer camps and a program at Bicentennial Park, which landed her a role in its production of “A Little Night Music.” Tyler also acted in musicals at the former St. Francis Academy, which is now Joliet Catholic Academy.

“It was a wonderful outlet, having both the school and community theater programs,” Tyler said. “It kept me busy and that is what I wanted.”

Tyler participated in the conservatory theater program at the former Goodman School of Drama in Chicago, now the Theatre School of DePaul University. She joined Lifeline in 2001 and has continued to act throughout her adult life.

Full time?

“Oh, no. That’s pretty rare,” Tyler said. “Most actors that work in Chica-

Tyler has worked for law firms and as a house painter. She’s babysat and done nanny work, anything that allowed flexibility in her schedule. Now that she’s older, Tyler is excited about the options that will open up for her.

“So often the ingenue is a sincere serious gal,” Tyler said. “It’s the older character – the quirky aunt or maybe the villain that is a little more interesting to play.”

28 Lockport teen has role in Brett

Eldredge video shot at Wrigley Field

BRIDGE by Phillip Alder

Josh Bender portrays a young Eldredge in ‘Wanna Be That Song’

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

LOCKPORT – On June 22, country singer Brett Eldredge debuted his music video for “Wanna Be That Song,” which was shot at Wrigley Field.

Portraying Eldredge’s younger self in the video is Josh Bender, 15, of Lockport. In the music video, Bender – as Eldredge – tells his girlfriend that he will play on that field one day and that she will be in the stands watching.

Then he gives her a necklace.

Bender shot his portion April 22, a 13-hour, 43-degree day that quickly passed because he had so much fun, he said. The acting wasn’t difficult, either.

“It’s a boy in love,” Bender said. “I can relate to that.”

It’s the biggest break to date for Bender, who’s been modeling and acting in community theater for four years. Bender’s mother, Gina Bender, said her son’s image has appeared on Groupon, a product box for one of Revell’s model rockets and Boursin cheese.

Josh has appeared in nearly 20 theater productions and is rehearsing for the New Lenox Rotary Club’s production of “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat,” which will be performed late July.

Josh is playing Benjamin, one of Joseph’s brothers. His 13-year-old sister, Jaida, is in the teen ensemble. It’s not the first time Josh and Jaida have worked together, Gina said.

During one job, Gina heard remarks on how natural the brother-sister duo looked together.

“They thought it was amazing,” Gina said. “I didn’t realize how special it was until they said it.”

Fifteen-year-old Josh Bender of Lockport appears in country singer Brett Eldredge’s newest music video.

WATCH THE VIDEO View “Wanna Be That Song” at shawurl. com/2o9y.

She had no idea Josh was interested in acting until he was a sixth-grader at Hadley Middle School in Homer Glen.

He came home one day and announced he was singing in the talent show.

Josh did so well, people commented he should pursue community theater.

He had professional photos taken to show potential agents. Josh now has two agents, Gina said. One of those agents submitted Josh’s photo for Eldredge’s music video, Gina said.

Josh takes it all in stride.

“He’s handling it very well,” Gina said. “He’s very humble. Super excited, but very humble.”

School comes first, Gina said, always. Josh takes advance placement and honors classes and made the honor roll – again – at the end of his sophomore year at Lockport Township High School.

Josh said his career goal is to become a professional actor. Acting allows him to be someone else for a time – and to make the audience believe it.

“I always make sure to put a little of me in there,” he said. “It just makes it easier to portray the emotional part.”

William Blackstone, an 18th-century English jurist, judge and member of parliament, said, “That the king can do no wrong is a necessary and fundamental principle of the English constitution.”

At the bridge table, a king -- or a queen, for that matter -- can be played at the wrong time. How is that relevant to this deal? South is in three no-trump, and West leads the spade nine in answer to his partner’s overcall. What happens after that?

South starts with seven tricks: two spades, two hearts and three clubs. He must set up his diamond suit. But since that means losing the lead twice, the defenders have time on their side, if they use it wisely.

First, East, from his partner’s lead, knows that South has A-J-6 or A-J-6-4 of spades. When you are trying to establish a suit in which declarer has two winners, make him use up one of them as soon as possible -- and trick one is not too early.

East should overtake the spade nine with his 10 (or encourage with the eight). South wins with his jack, plays a heart to dummy’s king, and leads the diamond queen.

East must not cover an honor with an honor. He must play low and hope partner has the ace. Here, West wins the trick and returns his second spade. East can now set up his suit while he still has the diamond king as an entry. The defenders take three spades and two diamonds.

Note finally that if East plays the spade queen at trick one, South ducks and will make his contract. When West is in with the diamond ace, he will not have a spade left to lead.

Hormone may help treat polycystic ovaries

fat was simple. We knew fat was made up of cells. We thought those fat cells were all the same. We thought they were a place where we stored energy for future use – that was right. We thought they provided insulation to keep our insides warm in cold weather – that also was right.

But it’s not that simple. First, our bodies have two main kinds of fat: white fat and brown fat. (There’s also “beige” fat, but let’s not digress.) White fat cells store fat. In contrast, brown fat cells burn fat.

Second, we now know fat cells also are powerful little hormone factories. They make hormones that travel throughout our body, influencing our appetite, the rate of our metabolism and many other aspects of our health.

The Chinese scientists transplanted extra brown fat cells into rats with PCOS. All at once, many of the abnormalities of PCOS promptly started to improve.

Then the scientists discovered a hormone called adiponectin that is made by brown fat cells was likely responsible. When rats with PCOS were given just adiponectin, all of the features of PCOS promptly improved.

It remains to be seen if what is true in rats is true in humans, and whether the discovery will lead to improved treatment of PCOS. If so, many women stand to benefit.

FUN & GAMES | The Herald-News / TheHerald-News.com

Dear Dr. K: I have polycystic ovary syndrome and treatments are helping only a little. My doctor says there has been recent progress in understanding what causes it, and I should not give up hope.

What is your opinion?

Dear Reader: For readers who don’t know about polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), I should explain a few things first. PCOS is pretty common: About 10 to 20 percent of women have it to some degree. The key features of this illness are multiple cysts in the ovaries, failure of the ovaries to release eggs (and resulting difficulty getting pregnant), irregular menstrual periods and high levels of androgens.

Androgens are “male” hormones that females also make, but in lower amounts than men. High levels in women can cause acne and more body hair. They also can cause loss of scalp hair in a pattern like that in men who are becoming bald.

Women with PCOS also are at higher risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, obesity, elevated levels of cholesterol and triglycerides (two types of fat), and atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke.

So a lot of very different things are going wrong in PCOS. Doctors and scientists long have sought a single abnormality that triggers all the rest. If such an abnormality was found to exist, it would become a target for treatment: Treat that single abnormality, and you simultaneously might fix all of the things that go wrong in PCOS. That single abnormality has been elusive, perhaps until now. In early 2016, scientists from China reported low levels of a hormone made by fat are responsible for PCOS. Until about 20 years ago, we thought

Dear Abby: My DEAR ABBY 21-year-old son, “Evan,” recently Jeanne moved out to be Phillips with his girlfriend. They live in a small apartment and say they cannot afford a lot beyond the basics, including internet. They spend every moment at my house when they are not working. They use our internet, eat our food and drink our beverages. I know this might sound terrible, but I want my freedom.

I don’t feel I should be obligated to give them free food and internet every day, considering they show up with new phones and new speakers in their cars. When I try to discuss it with them, they accuse me of being “mean.”

If they would come to visit with me instead of just hanging around, I’d welcome it. But neither of them hardly speaks to me while they’re here. How do I approach this without making Evan and his girlfriend feel completely unwelcome? – Mom Needing Space In Texas Dear Mom: Set some boundaries by telling Evan and his girlfriend a version of what you have written to me. Explain they’re welcome to come over once a week or twice a month – provided they act like good guests while they’re there. Then describe for them what that means, including staying off the internet and leaving their new cellphones in the car.

And while you’re at it, don’t forget to mention gracious guests occasionally invite their hostess out for a bite. That’s not being “mean”; it’s explaining the facts of life they seem to have missed while becoming the adults they are.

Dear Abby: My 15-year-old granddaughter always has been shy and quiet. Boys at school sometimes approach her to “date.” She likes one really sweet boy who is kind of shy like she is. He held her hand for the first time recently (she was wearing gloves) and she freaked out.

Now she keeps her hands in her pockets when she’s around him.

Why is she so afraid? Does my granddaughter need to see a doctor? – Grandma Peggy Dear Grandma Peggy: The person you should ask about the reason for her extreme reaction after that boy held her hand is your granddaughter. She either is not ready to have a relationship with a boy or she might not be as into the young man as you think she is.

If she’s comfortable the way she is, don’t push her. If she indicates to you she’s unhappy, that’s the time to enlist the help of a doctor or licensed mental health professional.

Dear Abby: Should I be offended my in-laws set up a college savings fund for my children but didn’t allow me – only my wife – to be an authorized signer on the accounts? I am grateful, but I also feel slighted. Am I wrong to feel this way? – Left Out In California Dear Left Out: Right or wrong, your feelings are your feelings. If you want to know whether they are valid, while you are thanking them for their generosity, ask your in-laws why they arranged the fund that way.

FRIDAY HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – Don’t let anger get the better of you. If something is upsetting you or causing you distress, make whatever change is necessary to bring tranquility and peace of mind to your life.

Don’t lose sight of your goals or give in to the demands of selfish, thoughtless individuals.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – It’s OK to do things differently. Add a little spice to your life and sign up for something that will be fun for the whole family or just you and a loved one.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Emotional spending is never a good thing. Do your best to use common sense with regard to money matters.

Consider making a change that will offer

greater mental stimulation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Make plans, but be prepared to change course if a different path entices you. You can improve your personal life by setting up romantic plans or trying something new.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Don’t wait for people to come to you. Speak up and air your opinions in order to attract people who share your concerns and ideas. A passionate plea will bring good results.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – A different approach to a moneymaking idea or investment will lead to financial gains, as long as you don’t let a personal confrontation get in the way.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Read the instructions before you take on a challenge

that requires precision and accuracy. Make personal changes before someone makes them for you. Don’t make assumptions – get the facts.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – You have more options than you realize. Refuse to let someone’s complaints or criticism cause you to miss out. Don’t fear being different or using your imagination. Romance is highlighted.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Your ideas are good, and you should follow through with your plans regardless of what others do or say. The changes you make personally will allow you to reach your goals.

Travel to unfamiliar destinations that will offer insight into future trends or possibilities.

Romance is featured.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – Easy does it. Put caution first. It’s much easier to control a situation if you don’t let someone else call the shots. You’ll be misled if you believe everything you hear.

Notice is given of the death of Daniel L. Ryan. Letters of Office were issued on June 3, 2016 to Marlene Mulford, 1615 West Washington Street, Springfield, Illinois 62702 as Independent Executor of the Estate of Daniel L. Ryan, whose attorney is Bradley E. Huff, Graham & Graham, Ltd. 1201 South Eighth Str

Claims against the estate may be filed in the Office of the Circuit Clerk, Will County Courthouse, 3200 West McDonough Street, Joliet, Illinois 60431, or with the Executor or both, on or before December 19, 2016, and any claim not filed within that date is barred. Copies of a claim filed with the Clerk must be mailed or delivered to the Executor and to the attorney within ten (10) days after it has been filed.

To: Unknown Heirs of Daniel L. Ryan.

Notice is given that Unknown Heirs of Decedent are named in the Petition for Probate of Will and for Letters Testamentary that was filed in the Estate of Daniel L. Ryan.

Within 42 days after the effective date of the original order of Admission, which was on June 3, 2016, any heir or legatee may file a petition with the court to require proof of the Will by testimony of the witnesses to the Will in open court or other evidence, as provided in Section 6-21 of the Illinois Probate Act. You also have the right under Section 8-1 of the Illinois Probate Act to contest the validity of the Will by filing a petition with the court within 6 months of June 3, 2016, which was the date on which the Will was admitted to probate.

However, if there is a Will which directs independent administration, independent administration will be terminated only if the Court finds there is good cause to require supervised administration; and if the Petitioner is a creditor or non-residuary legatee, independent administration will be terminated only if the Court finds that termination is necessary to protect the Petitioner's interest.

In addition to the right to terminate independent administration, any interested person may petition the Court to hold a hearing and resolve any particular question that may arise during independent even though administration, supervised administration has not been requested (Probate Act Section 28-5, Illinois Compiled Statutes, Chapter 755, Act 5, Section 28-5).
