There I was last weekend, reading in my favorite chair, when I heard a “boom” that sounded akin to the noises heard in war movies when a shell goes off.

Ah, the neighborhood resident who annually feels, for some unknown reason, a desire to shoot off firecrackers at random times. It tends to happen closer to the Fourth of July, but I’ve heard them all summer.

I’m not a fan of unexpected loud “booms” that shake the house like an earthquake is happening on just our block. Half the time, the sun still is out, so I’m not sure what exactly they are seeing. And I’m certainly not a fan of the repeated noises for the person who feels the need to shoot them off for about an hour, but that first one – it’s jarring.

For me, it’s like something I saw in a movie. But for many veterans, it’s reminiscent of an actual experience – being

in war.

As I sorted last week through the news releases sent to me, I noticed one from Phantom Fireworks, which asked its customers, friends and all who use consumer fireworks to be mindful that some veterans can be startled and upset by the noise of fireworks – especially the unexpected blasts.

Phantom Fireworks suggests those who intend to shoot consumer fireworks in a neighborhood contact their neighbors to let them know. This way, combat veterans who might be affected by the fireworks have the opportunity to take steps to avoid unintended consequences. It’s a good suggestion, and one I felt

necessary to share.

In Illinois, of course, you shouldn’t be shooting fireworks off anyway, as they are illegal. And the chance of being injured is high for someone not professionally trained in how to handle them.

Still, neither of those things seems to be a deterrent. So I hope, as we head toward celebrating the nation’s birthday (happy 240 years old, USA), that we can keep in mind the people who have fought to preserve those freedoms for 200-plus years. They deserve our respect.

Lawmakers to return to Springfield for stopgap budget Education, construction, human services would be funded if measure OK’d

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Illinois General Assembly is expected to return Wednesday to Springfield, where it’s anticipated that a six-month stopgap budget will be discussed and voted on.

If approved, it would be the first fiscal blueprint for the state in nearly a year.

Illinois has operated without a budget for the fiscal year that started July 1, 2015 – a year that ends Thursday.

State Sens. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, Pat McGuire, D-Joliet and Sue Rezin, R-Morris, along with state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield, all confirmed Friday that they have been called to Springfield for a vote.

McGuire said a committee of 16 legislators from both sides of the aisle have been meeting three times a week since Memorial Day with Gov. Bruce Rauner’s budget director, Tim Nuding. Parameters of the stopgap budget have been agreed

CHOW TIME

Big crowd, good weather highlight Taste of Joliet

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – They came and got it.

A large crowd packed into Memorial Stadium on Friday for the Taste of Joliet, and clear skies Saturday afternoon left Joliet Park District staff optimistic for another big turnout.

“It was wall-to-wall people on the field, but the staff was well-prepared, and everything went smoothly,” Executive Director Tom Carstens said.

The Taste of Joliet started at the stadium on Memorial Day weekend in 1987. After being held downtown and morphing into “June Fest,” where the carnival games were emphasized over local cuisine, the event stopped in 1996.

The festival returned to the stadium in 2006 and has remained the park district’s largest event.

An estimated 26,000 people were in attendance as classic rock band Styx performed Friday night. Country artists, including Trace Adkins, were scheduled SaturMore online day.

Joliet. “(Friday) was one of the biggest crowds they’ve ever had, and they were incredibly well-behaved,” Joliet police Capt. Bruce Larson said. “One guy acting disorderly was ejected from the premises for sneaking backstage, and there were some lost-property reports. That was all.”

Larson agreed with Carstens that weather has the biggest impact on attendance and behavior. Sunday’s forecast called for thunderstorms and a high of 88 degrees.

The Taste setup was different this year, with the beer tent at the north end of the field instead of being closer to the stage at the south end.

“It seems like the flow of traffic works better,” Carstens said.

That allowed attendees to spread out to the 14 food vendors lining each side of the stadium. Signs along the eastern row hawked ribs, burgers, pork, piña

Demolition of Des Plaines Garden begins One former resident of Joliet public housing site calls it ‘bittersweet’

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – They came not to praise it but to raze it.

Des Plaines Garden Homes is coming down.

At a demolition ceremony Friday, speakers lauded the future Water’s Edge development that will replace the city’s first public housing project.

There were no signs of remorse for the end of Des Plaines Garden.

“I was a product of public housing,” Michael Simelton, CEO of the Housing Authority of Joliet, told the gathering at the ceremony. “I grew up in public housing. I know the problems of public housing.”

Simelton said the replacement of Des Plaines Garden with a mixed-income community is “making history.”

“It’s going to impact Joliet in a big way,” he said.

Des Plaines Garden consists of 122 apartments that will be demolished over the next month.

Water’s Edge will have 69 single-family homes and townhomes.

The less-crowded community is seen as a better option to large public housing projects. Water’s Edge residents also will have a variety of income levels, which housing officials view as a better mix for a neighborhood.

Des Plaines Garden residents received Section 8 vouchers and have moved elsewhere. They will be first on the list to move to Water’s Edge if they are interested.

Mayor Bob O’Dekirk lauded the transition, looking back to his years as a Joliet police officer in the Forest Park neighborhood that once included the Poole Garden Homes project.

Poole Garden was torn down and replaced by Liberty Meadow Estates, a mixed-income subdivision that includes single-family homes and options to buy homes.

O’Dekirk called the transition to Liberty Meadow “a great project,” leading to the elimination of crime associated with the Poole Garden Homes. The mayor said crime at that project and other public housing typically is committed by people who don’t live there.

“These projects are magnets that draw crime, and the victims are the people who live there and are trying to raise families,” he said.

Not everyone at the ceremony was

completely glad to see Des Plaines Garden go.

Glenda McCullom, a onetime resident of Des Plaines Garden and now pastor at Kingdom Builders International Church in Joliet, praised the transition while speaking at the ceremony.

Later, however, she said the demolition was “bittersweet” as she pointed to the apartments where she lived

from 1966 to 1972.

“We lost our house, so we ended up here,” McCullom said.

The family house in Forest Park did not have running water, however, and the move to Des Plaines Garden “was a step up for us,” she said. “We were close to downtown where we could walk. We could take the bus.”

Des Plaines Garden, located on Des Plaines Street, is just south of down-

town. Not a high-rise, the apartments were two-story units in a number of buildings that line the street. They were built over a period running from 1954 to 1966, according to the Housing Authority.

Mittchelena Meade, chairwoman of the board at the Housing Authority, said she believes the $19 million Water’s Edge development will be an improvement for the surrounding neighborhood, where she once lived.

“I grew up one block down the road,” Meade said. “What this is going to do for the community is so exciting.

There have been changes. But it’s going to come back.”

Union D-81 consolidation up to others

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – For Union School District 81 officials, consolidation isn’t on the table.

The declining student population at District 81 – sinking from 176 students to 96 in 12 years – led the Board of Education in April to approve reducing the number of teachers at the one-school district from 12 to nine.

District 81 has the lowest student enrollment of a district in Will County.

The district was described in a 2012 editorial from The Herald-News as “the poster child for school consolidation” – but it doesn’t hold that position in the eyes of district officials and, at least for now, the decision is in the hands of the residents.

Superintendent Tim Baldermann said that from a larger perspective, people like the idea of consolidation because they could potentially receive property tax relief – but when it is suggested for their own schools, they’re not interested.

“They love to keep their small schools,” said Baldermann, who also is the mayor of New Lenox.

He said there are no plans to consolidate District 81. Even with student

Source: ISBE 2015 Fall Enrollment Counts enrollment declining, he said that over time the area the district is in – borderline Joliet and New Lenox – may have more residential growth because of growth in New Lenox.

“The reality is that could be several years away,” Baldermann said.

Multiple attempts to reach board President Patrick Sweeney were unsuccessful.

Consolidation has been a focus for state officials since Gov. Bruce Rauner took office in 2015. He signed an executive order that year to create a local government consolidation and unfunded mandates task force.

The task force produced a December 2015 report that made recommendations to incentivize school consolidation.

According to the Illinois State

Board of Education, the steps for consolidation include a petition from either the board or registered voters, a local public hearing and approval from the regional and state superintendent, as well as approval by referendum.

The decision to consolidate is something the people of the school district would have to come to, said William Phillips, a University of Illinois associate professor who has sat on several task forces studying consolidation for school districts.

He said in many cases, people want to keep their small school districts, even if they have a high tax burden.

Part of the response to the declining student population at District 81 was not only reducing teachers but creating “multiage classrooms.” The reception from residents to the proposal in March was fiercely opposed, and the board decided not to move forward with it for the coming school year.

When it comes to consider consolidation, Baldermann said, it’s something voters in the district have to make a decision on.

“I think now people are so tired of paying high taxes, and there’s so many different bodies of government, there needs to be serious conversations about it,” he said.

BRIEF Police: Automatic starter sends car into Des Plaines River

JOLIET – An automatic starter apparently sent a city employee’s car for a dip in the Des Plaines River on Wednesday, authorities said.

Deputy Police Chief Ed Gregory said the Jefferson Street bridge tender called police at 4:36 p.m. after a white Dodge Dart that had been parked in the municipal employees lot at Washington and Des Plaines streets started up and drove over the riverwall.

“The car accelerated forward and struck the baluster,” Gregory said. “It continued past the wall, but the rear end of the car caught on the chain, so it was hanging over with the front in the water.”

The bridge tender had believed someone was inside the vehicle, but Gregory said that was because the windshield wipers were on.

“The owner of the car had a remote starter installed a few months ago, and though it isn’t supposed to get in gear, it looks like that’s what happened,” Gregory said.

Rendel’s Towing was able to hook the Dart and pull it away from the riverwall.

Union pushes for elected fire board

LOCAL BRIEF

Trustees now chosen by Homer Township Board

PLAINFIELD – State Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, and the AARP will be holding a Lunch and Learn event where attendees will learn how to speak with doctors and pharmacists to ensure they are using their prescription drugs as safely and effectively as possible.

Lunch and Learn will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday at Plainfield Township Community Center, 15014 Des Plaines St., Plainfield. A free lunch will be provided.

The event is free, but space is limited. Registration is encouraged by calling Bertino-Tarrant’s district office at 815-254-4211.

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com HOMER TOWNSHIP – The Homer Township Fire Protection District union is working to get a referendum on the November ballot that would allow district residents to elect their fire trustees.

Homer Township Professional Firefighters President David Curtis said union members voted unanimously in favor of the referendum. They would like to see trustees run for office so the union and taxpayers can communicate directly with those seeking a seat on the board and the union can endorse candidates, he said.

“We don’t have a voice with the current trustees,” Curtis said, clarifying that the union must communicate to the board through the fire chief and would like to be able to work with trustees directly.

The role of the district’s Board of Trustees is to supervise the chief, hire administrators, manage administrative accountability and oversee finances and equipment purchasing, Curtis said. The

fire trustees, who meet once a month, are appointed by the Homer Township Board of Trustees.

In order for the referendum to be placed on the Nov. 8 ballot, its proponents must get about 1,200 signatures – representing 10 percent of the district’s registered voters – supporting the change, Curtis said.

“So far, we haven’t met with any resistance,” he said, adding that many of the district’s neighboring fire agencies – including New Lenox, Lemont and Orland – have elected fire boards.

But according to Homer Township fire board Secretary Mark Lobes, there are also 11 appointed fire boards in Will County.

Lobes – a teacher, coach and union leader at Andrew High School in Tinley Park – said he doesn’t have a stance on the referendum, but he would like to communicate directly with the firefighters union. He said the board learned of the referendum effort several weeks ago from Chief Bob Tutko, but has not yet spoken directly with a union representative about it.

According to Lobes, because the referendum push is separate from the dayto-day business of the district, the union is free to go straight to the board.

“I’m just hoping for some communi-

cation from the union,” he said.

Lobes also said voter interest is represented in the appointee system, as the township trustees who choose the fire board are elected. He said the fire board is diverse and its members have a range of different jobs and backgrounds and always include residents of Lockport, Homer Glen and Homer Township to represent the geographic scope of the district.

According to Lobes, because the board is appointed, it is not politically motivated.

“I don’t have an agenda that I have to put out there,” he said.

Homer Township Supervisor Pam Meyers said a call about the referendum from The Herald-News was the first she had heard of it. She said the township always has been open to public input about fire board appointees.

“It don’t see anything wrong with the way it is,” she said.

However, she also said she wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to a change.

Tutko declined to comment, citing the referendum as a trustee matter in a message to The Herald-News.

Should the referendum be placed on the November ballot and approved by voters, residents would begin voting for fire trustees in 2017, according to a news release about the referendum.

MORRIS – The investigation into the Tuesday night crash that claimed the life of bicyclists Mark and Janice Wendling is ongoing, according to authorities.

The Wendlings, of Morris, were riding bicycles westbound about 7 p.m.

Tuesday night 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. The couple were bicycling to prepare for Bike MS: Tour de Farms this weekend in DeKalb.

Grundy County Deputy Sheriff Craig Meece said a reconstructionist and detective were on scene after the crash collecting evidence that will be used in the investigation.

“An ongoing investigation will include determining evidence surrounding the crash, any contributing factor and the analysis of all evidence or potential evidence collected at the scene,” Meece said Friday.

A 16-year-old Morris boy was cited after striking the couple for failure to reduce speed to avoid a crash. Authorities typically do not release the names of minors who are ticketed.

Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland said authorities are being thorough with the investigation.

He noted it takes time for authorities to get results back from state labs,

MORRIS – It’s been a devastating two years for the Martello family.

But as Marty and Jennifer Martello of Morris rebuild their lives – and the lives of their orphaned niece and three nephews, ages 9 to 18 – friends are rebuilding their home to accommodate the larger family.

Here’s what happened: Two brothers – Marty and Gary Martello – married two sisters, Jennifer and Natalie, respectively. On Dec. 5, 2014, Gary, 52, died from melanoma.

The following April, Natalie learned she had an aggressive leukemia. She died Dec. 30, 2015.

Two weeks prior to Natalie’s death, Marty and Gary’s father died. About six months before Gary’s death, their brother also died. Jennifer said the family is frazzled, but appreciative – especially now that the children realize the remodeling is for them.

“A part of me is having a hard time picking out material and stuff because it’s bittersweet,” Jennifer said. “If my sister hadn’t passed away,

Plans are underway in Joliet for new Police Chief’s Advisory Board The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton has announced plans to create a new Police Chief’s Advisory Board.

The board is meant to share a broad spectrum of diverse viewpoints and provide the opportunity to establish open and transparent lines of communication between the chief and the communi-

OTTAWA – Thousands of boaters are still active on Illinois waters, but their numbers have declined significantly over the past several years due to the struggling economy.

The number of mechanically powered boats registered in Illinois has gone down by about 30 percent since 2009, according to data from the state Department of Natural Resources. There were about 277,620 registered mechanically powered boats in 2009, compared with about 198,150 in 2015.

Boating reached its peak before the recession, but when it hit, people were less willing to spend money on recreation, boat shop owners told the News Tribune.

“Around 2007 and 2008 boating registration was at a high, but it got hurt.

Now it’s starting to come back a little,” said Joe Troha, owner of Illinois Val-

ley Outdoors in Spring Valley.

Jeff Hiemsoth of Quest Watersports in Ottawa agreed that the boating industry is starting to see some growth, but it’s been slow and not even close to what it once was.

“It really is kind of defined by the recession,” Hiemsoth said. “In our area, it definitely has not come back to pre-recession levels.”

Jeremy Fowler, manager of the marina at Heritage Harbor in Ottawa, said he has noticed more rental boats on the Illinois River.

“For a lot of the Millennials, they’re more about the experience than owning the boat,” he said.

Although the numbers are still down, some boaters believe there’s a returning interest now that the economy is more stable.

“People are just refocusing on what they’re doing with their recreational dollars, but we’re seeing slow growth,” Fowler said.

The role of the board members is to include: • Act as a sounding board for the chief regarding community needs and concerns, as well as providing community feedback on proposed police programs and priorities.

• Inform the chief about the community’s need for police services and offer feedback on delivery of services.

• Improve collaboration between the police department and residents.

• Assist in educating the community at large about the function and role of the police department.

• Attend regularly scheduled meetings at the police station.

RUTH LUHRING

recently in residence at Alden Long Grove.

Marilyn led many adventures. She had a knack for nudging and empowering people toward confidence while never quite mastering that for herself. No matter, she loved deeply and took joy in spreading light into the lives of family, friends, even the occasional random stranger.

She was a natural advocate, consistently striving to change whatever she felt was “off.” Marilyn now has a larger stage on which to orchestrate her revolution. The independence she modeled laid the cornerstone of success for her three children.

She revealed a bit of her dark sense of humor in sharing her preference to be cremated. Marilyn quipped that in the end she would be both her thinnest and most tanned self.

In lieu of a traditional visitation, the family is planning a Mass and luncheon to celebrate her life sometime in July. The details will be shared as they are finalized.

For those that have a desire to take action in her memory, here are a couple of options. Pay some kindness forward by noticing and being present in the struggle of another. Consider a donation to family-centered hospice or support any of the myriad unsung caregivers that indirectly touch all our lives.

Your husband, Johnnie, Children, Lisa and Jeannie, and your Grandchildren

The ASSOCIATED PRESS

The ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK – Bernie Worrell, the ingenious “Wizard of Woo” whose amazing array of keyboard sounds and textures helped define the Parliament-Funkadelic musical empire and influenced performers of funk, rock, hip-hop and other genres, has died.

Worrell, who announced in early 2016 that he had stage-four lung cancer, died Friday at age 72. He died at his home in Everson, Washington, said his wife, Judie Worrell.

Throughout the 1970s and into the 1980s, George Clinton’s dual projects of Parliament and Funkadelic and their various spinoffs built upon the sounds of James Brown and Sly and the Family Stone among others and turned out some of the most complex, spaced out, political, cartoonish and, of course, danceable music of the era, elevating the funk groove to a world view.

With a core group featuring Worrell, guitarist Eddie Hazel and bassist

Bootsy Collins, P-Funk maintained an exhausting and dazzling pace of recordings, from the hit singles “Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)” and “Flash Light” to such albums as “One Nation Under a Groove” and “Funkentelechy Vs. the Placebo Syndrome.” And the studio music was just a starting point for the live shows, costumed spectaculars of wide-brimmed hats, war paint, dashikis, military gear or perhaps a white sheet with only a fig leaf underneath.

Worrell was among the first musicians to use a Moog synthesizer, and his mastery brought comparisons to Jimi Hendrix’s innovations on guitar. Anything seemed possible when he was on keyboards, conjuring squiggles, squirts, stutters and hiccups on Parliament’s “Flash Light” that sounded like funk as if conceived

by Martians. On Funkadelic’s “Atmosphere,” his chatty organ prelude, like a mash-up of Bach and “The Munsters,” set up some of Clinton’s more unprintable lyrics.

NEW YORK – Bill Cunningham, a longtime fashion photographer for The New York Times known for taking pictures of everyday people on the streets of New York, has died. He was 87.

Cunningham died Saturday in New York City, said Eileen Murphy, a spokeswoman for the newspaper. He had been hospitalized recently after suffering a stroke.

“To see a Bill Cunningham street spread was to see all of New York,” New York Times Executive Editor Dean Baquet said in a tweet posted to the newspaper’s Twitter account Saturday afternoon.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Cunningham would be remembered for his trademark blue jacket and traveling by bicycle with a small camera bag strapped to his waist, “but most of all we will remember the vivid, vivacious New York he captured in his photos.”

Cunningham began publishing a regular series of photographs in the Times in 1978 after a chance photograph of Greta Garbo got the attention of the storied paper.

After dropping out of Harvard University in 1948, the Boston-born Cunningham moved to New York, where he worked as a hat maker and in advertising before being drafted into the U.S. Army.

After a stint in the Army, Cunningham returned to New York, where he wrote fashion pieces for the Chicago Tribune. He soon segued into photography and started taking photographs of people on the streets before joining the Times.

In a 2002 interview with the paper, Cunningham said he always tried to be as discreet as possible because “you get more natural pictures that way.”

“I suppose, in a funny way, I’m a record keeper. More than a collector,” he said. “I’m very aware of things not of value but of historical knowledge.”

STATE Study: Rotting trees caused mysterious holes in dunes A researcher uses equipment in August 2014 to study Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore’s Mount Baldy in Michigan City, Ind.

By TOM COYNE

The Associated Press SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Mysterious holes that forced the closure of a massive dune at an Indiana national park after a 6-year-old boy fell into one and nearly died were caused by sand-covered trees that left cavities behind as they decayed over the years, researchers have found.

Fungi on the covered trees formed a sort of cement that allowed the sand to keep its hollowed-out shape as the wood decayed and collapsed inward, leaving holes more than 10 feet deep in the dune known as Mount Baldy at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore, according to a study published in December

by Erin Argyilan, who heads Indiana University Northwest’s department of geosciences. She said the phenomenon likely explains similar holes found in migrating dunes in Oregon and Michigan.

Although she determined the holes to be more of a nuisance than a hazard, Argyilan said they could present an unseen geological hazard in heavily visited natural places like Mount Baldy. The popular dune has been closed except for small ranger-led tours since the July

Police sue town, claim body cameras record nonstop

ROUND LAKE PARK – Ten police officers in a Chicago suburb are suing the town, claiming the body cameras they wore never turned off and recorded them using the restroom and changing clothes.

The lawsuit filed Thursday in federal court says one of the officers in Round Lake Park, Dominick Izzo, discovered the problem while reviewing video from his camera in May. The Chicago Tribune reported that the lawsuit says the cameras recorded thousands of “highly offensive and voyeuristic intrusions,” including video that showed officers’ genitals. The videos dated to

2013 rescue of the Illinois boy, who was trapped under sand for more than three hours.

The question facing the National Park Service is whether to keep Mount Baldy closed to the unsupervised public or to find a way to safely reopen it, at least partially.

Bruce Rowe, a spokesman for the park, declined to comment on Argyilan’s study or an ongoing Indiana Geological Survey study that supports her findings. He said it wouldn’t be appropriate to comment until the agency had the chance to review both. G. William Monaghan, a senior research scientist at the IGS, said he hopes to have its

The officers were “humiliated, embarrassed and greatly upset,” according to the lawsuit.

The officers are seeking $100,000 each.

Police Chief George Filenko said he was unaware of the recordings until an officer discovered them and has hired an outside attorney to investigate. However, in a statement, Filenko also criticized the officers for filing the lawsuit.

completed study to the Park Service by Aug. 1.

Monaghan said the IGS study, which Argyilan is also involved in, will include a map of potentially hazardous areas based on 1930s photos that show the location of trees before the sand buried them. The scientists said reopening Mount Baldy would be a risk-management decision that the Park Service would have to make.

Kevin Kincare, a U.S. Geological Survey research geologist, said he agrees with the studies’ findings.

violence, have been frozen out of the haphazard funding system that’s emerged during the stalemate, the Chicago Tribune reported.

“It’s hitting women and children disproportionally hard and in ways that lots of us are still trying to get a grasp on,” said Democratic state Rep. Greg Harris of Chicago, who chairs the human services committee. “It’s across the board. It’s really sad.”

Women make up about 66 percent of the recipients of an underfunded state scholarship grant for low-income college students. The Illinois Student Assistance Commission says between 80,000 and 128,000 female students received Monetary Award Program money last year.

Most schools had to pay for the scholarships and when state funding was released in April it was for one semester.

It’s unclear what schools will do in the fall.

of a decayed tree that had been buried.”

He said the studies show it takes unique conditions to create these voids.

Mount Baldy, which is a popular attraction at the national park along the Lake Michigan coast near Indiana’s border with Michigan, formed about 4,000 years ago and moves faster than most coastal dunes. Monaghan said it has moved an average of about 10 to 13 feet a year since about 1930.

Argyilan said similar holes have been reported in migrating dunes at the Oregon Dunes National Recreation Area in Florence, Oregon, and Silver Lake State Park in Mears, Michigan, but the holes at Mount Baldy provided the first opportunity to directly study them. Ten holes had been found in the dune when her research was published.

The deepest was the 10-foot hole that the boy fell into, but most were a yard (meter) or less deep, she said.

Monaghan said voids only create holes when the thickness of the dune from the hole to the surface is 20 feet or less. When it’s greater than that, the void being filled doesn’t create a big enough hole to present a danger. When the thickness is less than 5 feet, the hole created is so small that it’s not a danger, he said.

Rauner signs ID law making Ill. comply with federal law

CHICAGO – Illinois will follow stricter federal standards for state-issued ID’s under a proposal signed into law by Gov. Bruce Rauner.

Bill sponsor Sen. Terry Link said the measure ensures Illinois complies with the REAL ID Act and that it will help residents avoid security problems at airports and federal buildings.

Illinois officials were notified in January they had two years to comply with the act 2005 law. It sets minimum standards for licenses in response to security concerns after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Enforcement has been delayed.

Illinois put some changes into place, but others required legislative approval.

Among other things, the new law requires applicants for driver’s licenses to provide

proof of lawful presence in the country. The changes take effect next year.

Demonstrators protest Saturday in London against Britain’s exit from the European Union in Parliament Square following Friday’s EU referendum results.

Britain, EU at odds over the timing of divorce talks

By JILL LAWLESS and KIRSTEN GRIESHABER The Associated Press

LONDON – The European Union wants a quickie divorce, but Britain wants time to think things over.

Senior EU politicians demanded Saturday that the U.K. quickly cut its ties with the 28-nation bloc – a process Britain said won’t begin for several months – as the political and economic shockwaves from the U.K.’s vote to leave reverberated around the world.

“There is a certain urgency ... so that we don’t have a period of uncertainty, with financial consequences, political consequences,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault said at a meeting in Berlin of the EU’s six founding nations.

EU Commission chief Jean-Claude Juncker warned that the split was “not an amicable divorce” but noted it was never “a tight love affair anyway.”

Britons voted 52 to 48 percent Thursday in favor of ending their country’s 43-year membership in the 28-nation bloc.

But no country ever has left the EU, so no one knows exactly how the process will play out. Britain must, at some point, unambiguously notify the bloc of its intentions and set a twoyear clock ticking for negotiating its departure.

Until then, Britain remains an EU member.

In contrast to the clamoring of EU officials, the leaders of Britain’s “leave” campaign – who had reassured voters that the EU would offer Britain good terms for a new relationship – were largely silent Saturday.

England’s 300-year-old union with Scotland could be another casualty of the referendum, since most people in Scotland voted to remain in the EU. Scottish leader Nicola Sturgeon said Saturday that her semi-autonomous administration would seek immediate talks with EU nations and institutions to ensure that Scotland could remain in the bloc. “(We will) explore possible options to protect Scotland’s place in the EU,” she said after meeting with her Cabinet in Edinburgh, adding that a new referendum on Scottish independence is “very much on the table.”

Scotland voted in 2014 to remain a part of the U.K., but that decision was seen as being conditional on the U.K. staying in the EU. The victorious “leave” campaigners have said there’s no rush to trigger Article 50 of the EU’s Lisbon Treaty, which will begin a two-year exit process to renegotiate trade, business and political links between the U.K. and what will become a 27-nation bloc.

British Prime Minister David Cameron announced his resignation Friday and said his successor, to be chosen by October, should be the one to navigate the tricky process of withdrawing from the bloc.

The favorite to succeed him, former London Mayor Boris Johnson, has said there’s “no need for haste” – but EU leaders are saying the opposite, in insistent tones.

Juncker said Saturday that the British had voted to leave and “it doesn’t make any sense to wait until October to try and negotiate the terms of their departure.”

Officials: 150 homes burned in deadly Calif. wildfire

By SCOTT SMITH and ROBERT JABLON The Associated Press

LAKE ISABELLA, Calif. – A voracious and deadly wildfire in central California has burned 150 homes, and the toll may rise, fire officials said Saturday.

The tally rose from 80 homes as firefighters began going through neighborhoods to count houses and mobile homes incinerated by the blaze.

Entire blocks were reduced to rubble, and at least 2,500 homes remained threatened.

The winds that drove the drove the fire through small southern Sierra Nevada communities calmed by late afternoon, helping firefighters gain access to the fire line. However, hot weather and low humidity remained a worry.

“That’s something we have to keep an eye on. It could spark another disaster,” Kern County fire engineer Anthony Romero said.

About 1,140 firefighters battled the flames.

Gov. Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency, freeing up money and resources to fight the fire and to clean up in the aftermath. The Federal Emergency Management Agency also authorized the use of funds for firefighting efforts,

Douglas Nelson shows his wife, Amy, an item he found Saturday as they survey the remains of their home devastated by a wildfire in South Lake, Calif. The couple said they lost everything, including their dog. fire officials said Since it began Thursday, the fire has swept through 35,711 acres – nearly 56 square miles – of parched brush and timber. It moved so quickly that some residents barely had time to escape – and two didn’t.

An elderly couple apparently was overcome by smoke as they tried to flee, county Sheriff Donny Youngblood said.

Their bodies were found Friday.

Allen Montgomery, 40, who lives across the street from the couple, said he didn’t know their names but understood that the woman was bedridden.

Before he fled his home on Friday, Montgomery said he saw the man’s body about 20 feet from the house that was engulfed in flames.

“There was so much smoke you could barely see it,” he said.

Everett Evans, 45, fled Thursday as

the fire came down a mountain with a roar toward his South Lake mobile home. “When you hear a freight train, it’s time to leave. You could hear it, you could see it, you could smell it,” he said.

Evans said he knocked on doors to get neighbors to leave. Evans and his father, his son and his son’s girlfriend were in the convoy.

But he has nothing left to come back to. Virtually no homes survived in his neighborhood. A reporter visiting on Saturday found only a burned flag blowing in the wind on a flagpole above the rubble of Evans’ home.

Evans hadn’t been allowed back to the home, but he said he lost mementos and photos from his former marriage and years in the Marine Corps.

“That’s all memories. You get to keep your life, but you lose your memories,” he said.

Shiela McFarland, 67, from Mountain Mesa, left her home three days ago, taking her computer, cellphone, papers and her miniature poodle, Snuggles.

At an evacuation center, she slept on a cot outdoors next to his kennel.

McFarland didn’t know whether her home survived, but said, “It doesn’t matter if I’ve lost everything. I’ve got my little dog, my kids and my grandkids.

I’ve seen other people in worse shape.”

Congo volcano brings farmers rich soil, eruption threat

By CHRISTIN ROBY

A resident walks past banana trees in 2010 near the base of Mount Nyiragongo, one of Africa’s most active volcanoes, in Goma, Congo.

The Associated Press

GOMA, Congo – Hacking away in the midday sun, 49-year-old farmer Daniel Lazuba remembers vividly his life before one of Africa’s most active volcanoes erupted 14 years ago.

“All of this was corn before,” he said as he pointed to rows of new banana trees pushing up between black stones.

“My cabbage seems to be growing better than ever these days, but in this area, I still have to start from zero.”

Traumatized farmers like Lazuba are slowly returning to fields decimated by the 2002 eruption of Mount Nyiragongo in eastern Congo. Flowing lava flattened more than 30 percent of the city of Goma, 20 kilometers away.

Nearly 150 people died, and 400,000 fled into neighboring Rwanda.

Now farmers returning to their fields find increased harvests from the rich volcanic soil, but there are signs that Nyiragongo will erupt again.

One farmer, Patrick Tamoini, said his harvests have risen over the past two harvests since he returned to his patch of land a short walk from the volcano’s base. The 41-year-old pockets more than $100 a month after taking care of family expenses, more than dou-

ble his earnings before the eruption, he said. The average per capita monthly income in Congo is nearly $32 a month, according to the World Bank.

But returning to the fields wasn’t easy.

“The pain of what I lost kept me from coming back for such a long time,” Tamoini said. “With this level of production, I’m glad I finally did.”

The chemical makeup of volcanic soil makes for lucrative farming conditions, researchers at the Goma Volcano Observatory said.

“Lava actually enriches the soil

that it initially burned,” said Mathieu Yalira, the chairman of the observatory’s geochemistry and environment department. Volcanic soil includes fertilizing elements such as iron, phosphorus and potassium, he said. In the years after an eruption, a process known as chemical weathering slowly makes lava soil more fertile than ordinary earth.

Local farmers didn’t seize on those benefits right away, observers say.

“Initially, no one was coming back because they were too devastated to see their burned fields,” said the chair of

the observatory’s seismology department, Georges Mavonga. “But within the past year, visits toward the volcano have shown new villages in areas that were uninhabited before.”

He said the increase in lava soil farming may be a result of initial farmers seeing the benefits and spreading information to friends and family.

But the farmers should not get too attached to the newly fertile fields, warns the Rwanda Red Cross, which cared for many fleeing the 2002 eruption.

In February, an earthquake far beneath the surface caused rumbling noises near Virunga National Park, where the volcano is located. Since then, a new vent has appeared on the northeastern edge of the crater floor that shoots lava into the air every 30 seconds.

The Rwanda Red Cross has increased surveillance of the volcano in conjunction with the observatory.

“There are only presumptions about the next eruption, but people who study the daily life of this volcano tell us it could happen any day,” said Yves Riupi, a Red Cross crisis manager who works with seismologists at the Rwanda Natural Resources Authority.

The risk of another eruption is one that some farmers, whose lives depend on their crops, are now willing to take.

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Will-Grundy Medical Clinic is looking for volunteer nurses to help the agency care for patients who have no health insurance or medical care entitlements.

Shawn West, executive director of the nonprofit clinic, said it will accept as many volunteer nurses as it can receive. If it can find 15 volunteers, that would be fantastic, she said.

“We exist because of our volunteers, so volunteers are the key,” West said.

The clinic has provided its services for about 30 years.

Those are who interested in volunteering can call the clinic at 815-726-5112.

West said a nurse can volunteer

Continued from page 2 of Corrections; and human services, such as recovery and youth programs.

There’s also a capital reauthorization bill on the table that would allow projects to continue, McGuire said. It was announced in the last week by the Illinois Department of Transportation that more than 800 state road projects would be shut down Friday if funding is not approved.

There is money for road construction projects, but the spending needs to be authorized for fiscal 2017, McGuire said. In Will County, the Route 6 bridge over Interstate 55 in Channahon is set for a stoppage. The same goes for Route 30 in Plainfield from I-55 to Route 59.

And in Grundy County, Route 47 widening north of Interstate 80 is set to be shut down.

Also at risk if there is no approved budget is the free summer meal program, according to the Illinois State Board of Education. The ISBE announced Friday that it would not be able to offer free meals to thousands of children at more than 2,000 sites across the state until the General Assembly passes an education budget.

“Many of our children rely on our schools for access to nutritious meals during the school year, and it is equally important during the summer months,” State Superintendent of Education Tony Smith said in a news release. “Without passage of a funding bill, many of these education programs and grants are in danger. Each day this uncertainty continues, our kids suffer. Passing a Pre-K-12 budget will ensure schools open on time and our students have access to the resources they need.”

n o ? i t a c a V

once a week, a month or a year, and those who do regularly find it rewarding because they are meeting the needs of the community.

“There are tens of thousands of people who are uninsured in Will County alone. The clinic sees those patients, and we help to keep health care costs down for everyone,” she said.

West stated in an email that the clinic cares for more than 1,000 people a year and that, without its services, many would face sickness without treatment and intervention.

Clinic patients must meet prescribed income guidelines, according to its website. The care is provided by physicians, dentists and other professionals who volunteer their time and expertise.

McGuire said there is also some catch-up funding to be paid out, such as MAP grants to low-income students.

Opinions on what a potential agreement will do for the state vary with legislators in Will and Grundy counties.

“What strikes me is when Rauner stops his budgetary demands, the two parties are able to come together to fund essential state services,” McGuire said.

Rezin said she is cautiously optimistic that a stopgap will be approved Wednesday.

She is concerned that House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton, both Democrats, may try to throw in an additional $400 million for Chicago Public Schools or take out funding for state operations, such as prisons.

“Those would be poison pills,” Rezin said. “The ball is in their court.”

Rezin confirmed that none of Rauner’s Turnaround Agenda points is included in the stopgap proposal. She said everything in the proposal will be paid for by identified revenue.

Batinick said all a stopgap budget does is prolong uncertainty, and he is disappointed that meetings over the last month have not been about an actual budget. He said uncertainty continues to kill the state’s job growth because large organizations and small businesses alike will not invest in uncertainty.

He said this week is shaping up as a door-die week.

“I’m not happy at all,” Batinick said.

“I’m against the concept of a stopgap budget. All we do is guarantee the uncertainty goes on. It’s a killer.”

Bertino-Tarrant stated in an email that she is ready and eager to go back to Springfield to vote on a reasonable budget that will keep organizations, institutions and schools open and keep people working.

Isabelle Valadez, 8, has her face painted Saturday by Kristen Petrovich of KCP Designs at the Taste of Joliet at Memorial Stadium in Joliet.

• TASTE

Continued from page 3 coladas, shaved ice, burritos, sausage and doughnuts, while frozen lemonade, pizza, funnel cakes, corn, hot dogs, cheese curds and ice cream were being sold on the western side.

“Everything smelled good,” said Jason Hedden of Joliet. Hedden came Saturday and split “Buffalo Chicken Fries” with his wife, Michelle, and son, Ethan.

“I wanted to try something different, and they were better than expected,” he said.

Anthony Smith of Joliet stopped in at lunchtime “to see what was going on” and devoured a sausage-and-beef combo.

“It’s my first time [at the Taste],” Smith said. “I expected it would be more crowded, but I guess it’s still early. I think I’m going to come back tonight and try something else.”

Jim and Jan Lootens of West Chicago had been to the Taste about 25 years ago and decided to come out and enjoy Saturday’s weather.

“I remember getting a pork chop on a stick [the first time], and I’m having it again,” Jan said.

Jim Lootens said the Italian sausage he bought was tasty enough that he asked the vendor for a business card so he can order more. The Lootens also

said the tents and picnic tables set up across from the food stands made it one of the nicer food festivals they’ve attended.

Nick and Sara Herring of Chicago came for the food and expected to stick around for the music Saturday night. He had a pork burger and she a pulled pork sandwich, but they each shared one bite of their selections.

“They’re pretty close, but I like what I ordered,” Sara said.

Sara grew up downstate and said the Taste of Joliet can be compared to county fairs and festivals in the city.

“I wasn’t sure what to expect,” she said. “This is right about in the middle.”

Dear Mr. Berko: Since getting out of college in 2013, I’ve been working at Wal-Mart in Florida, making $9.40 an hour. My buddy works in an Apple Store, making $31 an hour.

His father, who is an executive at Wal-Mart, says Wal-Mart employees will get a $3-an-hour raise by 2018, but I need it now. His father says that in the next five years, all Wal-Mart employees will be unionized and make $15 an hour. Wal-Mart has twice the sales of Apple. Why can’t the company pay me $15 an hour now? Should I work for Apple? – DS, Shalimar, Florida Dear DS: Your questions suggest:

1) You’re not Apple-qualified and 2) you’re lucky to have a job. I recommend that you remain at Wal-Mart (WMT-$71) and improve your working skills.

Last year, Apple’s (AAPL-$96) 110,000 full-time employees produced $233 billion in revenues and earned AAPL $52 billion. That’s a supercalifragilistic 22 percent net profit margin. Therefore, each employee made $481,000 for Apple. But when you consider that there are 20,000 part-timers, you can calculate that

last year, but management expects lower earnings for 2016. So WMT’s employees earned their company $6,700 each last year. WMT’s average employee earns $9 an hour. If employees got a $1-an-hour raise this year ($2,000 each Apple staffer only earned $407,000 for the year), they’d produce $4,700 in profits for WMT. Then management’s for Apple in 2015. And if CEO Timmy Cook had given everyone a $5-an-hour priority to reduce costs would shift into warp drive. raise (that would have been $10,000 WMT would close additional stores, for the year), each employee would have earned $397,000 for Apple.

If management raised wages by $5 million employees a $3-an-hour raise an hour, WMT shares would plummet unless they unionize. A $5-an-hour raise would break the company, while like a Steinway from the roof of the Chrysler Building and be worthless. a $3-an-hour raise would crash the Early last year, management gave stock to below $30 a share.

employees a politically correct $10 an hour. When management announces that goal has been achieved, it will also announce that earnings will fall again. And it will be another bad hair day for WMT’s shareholders.

Apple could absorb $5-an-hour wage increases because its employees produce big profits for their company. But the picture is far different for retailers for which an increase of 50 or 75 cents an hour would be catastrophic. If retailers such as Target, Best Buy, McDonald’s, Sears and Macy’s paid $13 an hour, their profitability would vanish unless they raised prices by 30 percent. Then who would shop there?

DS, you could increase your earnings by learning skills that would make you attractive to employ. Wise unions should give all members that advice – and then teach those skills to help them create value for their employers. But that would be counterproductive to unionism.

BUSINESS BRIEFS AT&T expands 4G LTE to Will County

CHICAGO – AT&T has improved its 4G LTE network to bring faster speeds to 88 cell tower sites in Chicago’s five collar counties during the first six months of 2016.

The changes will help customers in Will, as well as DuPage, Kane, Lake and McHenry counties, get the most out of their mobile devices, according to a news release. The company says with 4G LTE service, customers will see better service when watching videos, posting to social media or texting family and friends.

“We want our customers to have a great experience.

They’ll be able to download, upload, stream and play games faster than ever before on our 4G LTE network,” Paul La Schiazza, president of AT&T Illinois, said in the news release. “We’re always working to provide better coverage. And we’re investing in our wireless network to accomplish that.”

Since the fall of 2015, passing the edTPA is required to earn a teaching license in the state of Illinois. The edTPA measures a pre-service teacher’s ability to design and deliver quality lessons that account for the individual needs of the students in the class. The edTPA requires that the pre-service teachers analyze the students’ work to determine patterns of understanding and create next steps for instruction.

A 100 percent pass rate indicates USF College of Education graduates have a profound understanding of the best practices in teaching that are measured by the edTPA and were well prepared for the task from early on in their collegiate experience, according to the news release.

OUR VIEW

Stopgap budget not good enough Legislative leaders are sorely mistaken if they think the announcement late last week that there “may” be a deal on a stopgap budget for the soon-to-start fiscal year is good news.

Gov. Bruce Rauner announced Thursday that a deal with leaders is close. The House and Senate are expected to be in session Wednesday. A stopgap budget would provide a previously authorized $23 billion to places like schools, colleges and local governments for the fiscal year that begins July 1 – or this Friday, if you’re looking at a calendar.

Friday is also the day Illinois will have gone one year without a budget, as Rauner has been in a stalemate with House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton over what state government should fund.

The only way the state has limped along for the past year is that 90 percent of government is being funded through court orders or continuing appropriations.

But the state is by no means thriving.

John Greuling, CEO of the Will County Center for Economic Development, noted at Thursday’s Eye Opener Breakfast that 4.1 million square feet of industrial space is under construction here, and low vacancy rates at buildings already in the county mean more construction likely will be on the way. But he also stressed that being located in Illinois is an added burden when trying to bring commerce to the area. CEO Magazine has listed Illinois among the worst states in the nation for taxation, regulation, workforce and living environment, Grueling said, and perception becomes reality.

The latest casualty of state budget impasse is the Small Business Development Center at Joliet Junior College, which is set to close Thursday after being open for three decades. The center offered free services to help people start up, and later expand, their own businesses. The college said it counsels almost 600 small businesses and entrepreneurial clients a year.

But the center is funded by the U.S. Small Business Administration, and those funds pass through the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.

Amy Murphy, director of the center, was informed in May that the center would not receive any more funds until the state had a budget.

“We’re just very saddened by it,” Murphy said. “We wish the state would have come together and put a budget together. … It’s hurting the business community, is what it’s hurting.”

The lack of interest by state lawmakers to compromise on a budget is punishing entrepreneurs instead of helping those trying to better their lives and communities. The state’s neglect and inaction have caused enough harm – just ask those who depend on social services, health departments, criminal justice programs or … the list keeps going.

We’ve had enough. A stopgap budget is not good enough. Pass a budget. Worry less about keeping your seat in the November election and more about the residents you represent.

Remembering day Coal City stood up to rebuild Editor’s note: The village of Coal City’s event scheduled for Wednesday to commemorate the plaque marking the anniversary of the tornado that struck the village June 22, 2015, was canceled due to the impending storm. Pastor Brad Shumaker of the Coal City United Methodist Church was asked to offer a word of closure during this event. The village shared this message from Shumaker in hopes of providing guidance and solace to those who were affected by last year’s tornado. We are reprinting it here with permission.

On Monday, June 22, 2015, as I was standing in the emergency room with one of my parishioners in Champaign, I received a message from a friend that a tornado had come through Coal City, Illinois. My last Sunday as pastor in Champaign was the day before; we were to move to Coal City in just three days.

Though I was Facebook friends with several from Coal City, I only had two phone numbers. I called the first; it was Ken Miller, our lay leader. He answered the phone with a gentle calmness in his voice. He had just returned from the crawl space in their home and everything was fine.

The other number I had was our

when Coal City stood up to fear.

Today is not a day to remember loss, it’s a day to remember when Coal City stood up to rebuild. Today is not a day to mark chaos, it’s a day to mark when Coal City stood up with a plan to work with one another. Today is not a day to remind us of when we were not together, it is a day to remind of us of when Coal City stood up together in unity. Today is not a day to dig into the past, but it is a day to stand up and march forward together into the future.

Our motto has been CCStrong.

Well, I just wanted to stop by today to say: We are CCStronger than ever because we stood up. While our culture gets more superficial and more divided with time, we are invited to be even more connected to something so profound that has withstood the course of history.

We tap into a love and compassion that reminds us of who we were and where we were, and then we live that same message. To be a part of a legacy is to join with others in order to be part of something bigger than ourselves.

That’s what makes us stronger through these days – is that we don’t stay back, but we stand up and go forth and live in community.

I appreciate the sentiment of these Dems, but can we please call this for what it is: Congressmen and women finally taking a first step toward doing their jobs almost four years after 20 children were shot in Newtown. And even then, it’s for a bill that’s opposed by the ACLU? Yes, we need action on gun control.

But, we do not need to act like people are heroes for minimally doing their jobs.

CELTIC PRIDE

Senior led Providence to 3 straight Class 4A state championships

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com NEW LENOX – A switch-hitter who posts a .446 batting average and hits with the same efficiency and pop from either side of the plate.

Already a good defensive second baseman, he elevates himself into a master with the leather through hard work.

A quick, heady baserunner blessed with the natural instincts to know exactly when to make a daring dash for the next station 90 feet away.

Mix all that together and you have the Herald-News All-Area Baseball Player of the Year, Providence Catholic senior Mike Madej.

But wait, there’s more, perhaps the most import element.

Baseball is an individual sport, but it’s not. The ultimate goal is to win games when they matter most, and Madej, along with teammates Zach Pych and Jim Jeffries, did that better than anyone in state history. The three started on all of Providence’s three straight Class 4A state championship teams.

So first and foremost, label Madej a winner.

“Everything is awesome,” he said a few days after the Celtics completed the three-peat. “Going to Providence was the best decision of my life.”

Madej, who played safety and returned punts and kicks in football through his junior year, grew up in Manhattan and would have attended Lincoln-Way Central had he not attended Providence.

Celtics coach Mark Smith said he first saw Madej play baseball “when he was in sixth grade and I went to watch my nephew’s team play. He was good then, and he just kept getting better and better.”

feels he is equally effective. However, he did take a more aggressive approach this season, and it paid off.

“I always tried to put the ball in play with two strikes in the count, but this year I tried to swing like it was a 2-1 count whenever I had two strikes,” he said. “I wasn’t as defensive. Coach Vitas (Providence assistant Jason Vitas) talked to me about doing that, and it worked out well.”

That strategy seemingly could lead to more strikeouts. However, Smith said, that was not the case.

“I made the comment about halfway through the season that I didn’t think he struck out yet,” Smith said.

“I shouldn’t have said that because he struck out once that day. He probably has not struck out many times in his career.”

EARLY START

Madej was promoted to the varsity midway through his freshman year, and he went on to generate one of the most outstanding careers in Providence history.

“The first thing about Mikey is his dad, Mike Sr., was such a huge influence on him,” Smith said. “He was a very good baseball player, and he learned his work ethic from him.”

Madej’s dad asked him as a 9-year-old whether he would like to try switch-hitting. He gave his OK. “It was a lot of work, but it was

“Mike is the first switch-hitter I ever had who was as good from either side of the plate,” Smith said. “He has

the same pop from both sides.”

Madej, who batted right-handed before taking up switch-hitting, said he is comfortable from both sides and

STRONG STATS

Madej hit .446 with 54 hits in 121 at-bats. Among the 54 hits were 17 doubles, three triples and two home runs.

He scored 45 runs and drove in 30.

See MADEJ, page 39

VIEWS Dick Goss

• MADEJ

Continued from page 38 It is noteworthy that much of his production came against Chicago Catholic Blue competition, the centerpiece of one of the most challenging overall schedules in the state.

In the two games at Silver Cross Field in the 4A state finals, culminating in the Celtics’ 10-3 title-game triumph over Mundelein, Madej went 5 for 8 with four RBIs and five runs scored.

In the state championship game his junior season, when he batted .421, he delivered the walkoff single in the bottom of the eighth inning as Providence claimed a heart-stopping 6-5 victory over Mount Carmel.

“Mike had a home run from each side of the plate this year, but he’s more of a gap hitter,” said Smith, who labeled Madej the Celtics’ MVP after each of the past two seasons.

Joliet Catholic’s Drake Fellows delivers a pitch during the Class 3A regional semifinal against Coal City.

Again, the credentials are worthy of the Player of the Year. However, there were more candidates.

Senior left-hander Brent Headrick, who is moving on to Illinois State, was a major reason Reed-Custer won the Class 2A state title. He finished 11-1, the final victory coming in the state championship game, with a 1.93 ERA. He also struck out 118 while walking 17 in 792⁄3 innings.

Plainfield North reached the 4A state finals for the first time, and senior right-hander Josh Garner was a key.

He went 7-1 with a 1.35 ERA and hit .410 with four homers and 44 RBIs to lock up Southwest Prairie MVP honors as the Tigers finished 20-1 in the league.

He will join Acton at Saint Louis.

Plainfield East senior left-hander Drew DeMumbrum, who played varsity ball for four years, went 4-1 with a 1.17 ERA and hit .362 in his final season. Also an excellent center fielder, he will play college ball at Division I Oakland (Michigan).

Right there are a half-dozen candidates who could have been our Player of the Year, but aren’t.

Providence won the last three 4A state championships, the all-time state record for dominance. The Celtics’ senior second baseman, Mike Madej, started and was a key figure on all of the three championship teams. In fact, coach Mark Smith said after each of the

“He does more than hit, too. In the sectional semifinal game against Lincoln-Way East, he created a run on his own on the bases. He is a smart, savvy player.

“He also is solid defensively, but this year he raised it to a new level.

He made some plays that were phenomenal down the stretch. He takes pride in both parts of the game, and he and (Providence shortstop Jackson) Stulas have such good instincts on the bases.”

“The defensive part of my game has doubled since I came here,” Madej said.

As for which element of the game he enjoys most, he said he can’t choose.

“I love every part of baseball,” he said. “I don’t care if it’s 40 degrees or 90 degrees – and we have to play in both – it’s awesome going out and playing.”

Madej also felt the same attraction to football since his youth. He was a

major contributor on Providence’s Class 7A state championship team in the fall of 2014. But he decided against playing football as a senior.

“At end of junior year of football, we had won state,” he said. “In Week 3 of that season, I tore the rotator cuff in my left shoulder and I was playing football the rest of the season with a giant brace. You could see it in pictures. It was huge.

“I didn’t want to do that again. So I played fall baseball with Cangelosi (out of the Bo Jackson Dome). I knew a couple guys from other schools, like St. Rita, who did the same thing.

“I really liked football from a young age, though. I remember coming home when I was 8 and announcing to my family that I really liked football, not just baseball. My first friends were because of football.”

will be a teammate of former Joliet Catholic standout Nick Dalesandro and plans to study fitness, nutrition and human sciences.

“Purdue started getting interested in me during our state run last year,” Madej said. “We played the sectional at Marist and I got a big hit righty in the sixth inning and the next inning I got a hit lefty. They were there to see it.”

And if the baseball gods are kind enough to provide an opportunity beyond college? “Sure, I would like to do that,” Madej said.

There always will be a place for a kid who works at the game, makes consistent contact from both sides of the plate, has some pop from both sides, sports all the right baserunning instincts and flashes the leather with best second basemen around.

And, don’t forget, he is a proven winner, a mainstay on Providence’s ON TO PURDUE Next up for Madej’s baseball ex- historic three-straight state champiploits is a career at Purdue, where he onship teams.

• Sunday, June 26, 2016

Lemont senior right-hander Garrett Acton pitched a three-hit shutout, leading Lemont’s baseball team to a 10-0 victory over Springfield in the Class 3A state championship game.

He finished 7-2 with a 0.91 ERA. And for good measure, he hit .434 with 17 doubles, five home runs and 43 RBIs. He will pitch at NCAA Division I Saint Louis.

That all sounds like the résumé of a Herald-News Baseball Player of the Year.

Or, perhaps you would suggest Joliet Catholic senior right-hander Drake Fellows deserves the honor. He arguably was the most dominant pitcher in the area the last couple of years and finished 8-1 with a 1.00 ERA. He will pitch at Vanderbilt, one of the best baseball programs in the nation and a breeding ground for future professional pitchers, which he projects to be.

Oh, by the way, all Fellows did with the bat was hit .424 and drive in 26 runs.

Of course, Fellows and the Hilltoppers dropped out of the regional when they lost in the semifinals, 1-0, to Coal City and its outstanding senior righthander, Brad Littleton.

Littleton, who doubled home the only run in that game, finished 9-0 for the second straight season and sported a 1.22 ERA. He hit .380 with five homers and 42 RBIs and will play his college ball at Indiana.

last two titles were secured that Madej was the Celtics’ MVP. He also is our Player of the Year.

A switch-hitter who will play at Purdue, Madej hit .446 with 17 doubles, three triples, two home runs and 30 RBIs. He scored 45 runs for a second straight season. He is an excellent baserunner and has progressed from a good defensive second baseman to a great one during his Providence career.

He finished with high school run in style, going 5 for 8 with four RBIs and five runs scored in the two games in the state finals at Silver Cross Field.

No, Madej does not pitch like our six other Player of the Year finalists.

But the ultimate goal is winning games when they matter most, and he played a huge part in the Celtics claiming those three straight championship trophies.

The rest of our all-area presentation includes 18 on the first team, 18 on the second team and 18 on the third team, followed by an honorable mention list.

The 18 first-team selections had excellent seasons, and they had to beat out some strong competition. A majority of the second-team choices were considered for inclusion on the first team.

In typical fashion, this area boasted significant talent. During the season, however, there was indication our area may not have been quite as good overall as usual. Then the postseason arrived, and we wound up with three state champions and several other teams that made impressive runs.

Madej is our MVP in a season that turned out awfully well after all.

Visit this article at TheHerald-News.com to view a schedule of the 31st Morris Boys Basketball Shootout opening day schedule.

Rochelle, Rockford Auburn, Stevenson, Streator, Sycamore and Waubonsie Valley.

As always, Morris coach and tournament director Joe Blumberg expects a competitive tournament and plenty of excitement over the course of the two days.

“The first thing that usually comes to mind is who is new to the tournament and who isn’t here from last year,” Blumberg said. “We have Streator, Rochelle and Lockport that are new this year and Springfield, Joliet West and Kankakee that are not here.”

Blumberg noted Stevenson will bring 6-foot-7 forward Justin Smith, who is regarded as one of the top 100 players in the country, and Belleville West also has two Division I recruits on its roster. Of course, summer schedules can change in the blink of an eye.

“It’s very difficult to determine who will be there and who will not for some teams,” Blumberg said. “There are a lot of schedule conflicts over the summer and kids might get invited to another camp that they didn’t know about before.”

L-W East’s Zvonar receives Randy Walker award SUBMITTED REPORT FRANKFORT – Lincoln-Way East varsity football coach Rob Zvonar received the prestigious Randy Walker “Doing Great” Award last Monday at the Ivanhoe Club.

Each year, the American Football Coaches Association presents the award to a coach who displays leadership and reflects positive influence on his players.

The selection committee is composed of members of the AFCA, along with members of the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association.

Lincoln-Way East athletic director Mark Vander Kooi said, “This is a prestigious award that recognizes those traits that Coach ‘Z’ has installed into the foundation of his program. The school and the athletic department are proud of him and his tremendous coaching staff.”

Zvonar began coaching with Lincoln-Way in 1994. In the fall of 2001, he founded the football program at East.

Under his leadership, the Griffins are the first team in Illinois history to quali-

fy for playoffs in their inaugural season.

Even more impressive, they did so with no seniors. The team also is the only school in state history to win a state championship within its first five seasons.

Zvonar brought his team to the playoffs for the past 15 years, coached more than 130 kids who have gone on to play college football and also coached two players who have had careers in the NFL. His record is 142-35.

Zvonar refuses to take sole credit for the award, stating it is a total program award.

“It is a tribute to our coaching staff, student-athletes, parents, school administration and community youth football programs,” he said. “This accolade was made that much more special because of who Randy Walker was as a coach and a man. Coach Walker’s philosophies, ideals and core values helped to shape the Lincoln-Way East football program at our inception in 2001, and his impact continues to be evident today.”

44 FRIDAY: SLAMMERS 10, CRUSHERS 3; SATURDAY: CRUSHERS 10, SLAMMERS 7

Five-run fifth inning dooms Slammers

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers had been on a roll in games at Silver Cross Field, winning nine of their last 10 and not dropping a contest since June 9, when Lake Erie captured a 10-7 victory.

The Crushers were able to snap a four-game Joliet home winning streak on Saturday with a similar decisive win after breaking things open with a five-run fifth inning.

But despite dropping a 10-7 Frontier League decision to Lake Erie, the Slammers didn’t lose any ground in the East Division race. Windy City fell to Traverse City, 9-2, so Joliet is still one-half game back.

“In the fifth, we kept giving up runs and that got us into a little bit of a hole,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “We just couldn’t get that big out when we needed it to stop the bleeding there. Our starting pitching has been going deep, and today was an exception. We felt comfortable with our offense and we thought if we could keep it within reach, but unfortunately it was just a little too far for us.”

Lake Erie (17-19) grabbed the early advantage after scoring a pair of runs in the first inning. But Joliet (22-16) responded with two runs in the bottom of that frame to force a 2-2 tie.

The Slammers opened with four straight singles to get on the scoreboard. After Charlie White and Alfredo Rodriguez (2 for 3) got hits, Boo Vazquez (2 for 5, five RBI) singled to right to collect his 35th RBI of the season.

After Carter Bell (2 for 4) singled to load the bases, Marc Flores followed with a sacrifice fly to left to tie things up. It was his 32nd RBI of the year, which also ranks among the top-five totals in the league.

Lake Erie moved back in front at 3-2 when it scored on a two-out error in the third inning. And then it knocked Slammers starter Shane Bryant (1-1) out of the contest in the fifth when it collected five runs on four hits and an error.

Joliet got a run back in the sixth to make it 8-3 after Bell led off with a double and then came home on a run-scoring single by Jake Gronsky (2 for 5).

Crushers starter Mike Devine, who entered with the league’s second-best ERA at 1.91, improved to 5-1 to become the Frontier League’s third five-game winner. In just his

Joliet Slammers’ starting pitcher Spencer Medick pitches against the Lake Erie Crushers on Friday at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. The Slammers won Friday, 10-3, but lost Saturday, 10-7.

Joliet Slammers’ Carter Bell warms up before the game against the Lake Erie Crushers on Friday at Silver Cross Field in Joliet. second start of the season, he lasted 5 1⁄3 innings and allowed three runs on seven hits while striking out five.

Lake Erie, which received two RBI apiece from Bryan De La Rosa, Brendan Costantino (two hits) and

Carlos Avila and three hits from Jose Barraza, added two more runs in the seventh to grab a 10-3 lead. It finished with 12 hits against three Slammers pitchers.

The Slammers, who collected 12

hits against five Crushers pitchers, made things interesting in the ninth after loading the bases with no outs without the benefit of a hit and then Vazquez smacked his second grand slam and also drove in five runs in consecutive nights.

After Casey Fletcher and White walked, Rodriguez was hit by a pitch. Vazquez then sent a blast to right for his third homer in two nights against his former team. It was his league-best 11th home run and he moved past teammate Bell to take over the league’s RBI lead with 39.

In Friday’s series opener, the Slammers used a six-run second inning to grab an early 7-0 advantage as they rolled to a 10-3 victory over Lake Erie.

Vazquez (3 for 4) hit two home runs, including a grand slam, and drove in five runs to lead Joliet.

Flores (home run) and Melvin Rodriguez each had two RBI while Fletcher had two hits. Spencer Medick (40) allowed three runs and nine hits in eight innings to pick up the win.

Sunday’s 1:05 p.m. series finale features a matchup between the league’s ERA leader, Lake Erie’s Steve Hagen (2-2, 1.36), and last week’s Frontier League Pitcher of the Week, Joliet’s Kaleb Ort (3-1).

BLUE JAYS 10, WHITE SOX 8

The White Sox’s Brett Lawrie hits an onerun single Saturday during the sixth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays in Chicago.

the second inning.

“I felt like I was pitching in bizarro world there for a minute,” said Dickey, who equaled a career high by allowing four homers. “An outing where you strike out the side and give up three home runs, I don’t know if that’s ever been done.”

ball bounced back onto the field.

Saunders, the left fielder, didn’t chase the ball, but Lawrie continued to run hard around the bases.

The umpires conferred, ruled the ball didn’t clear the fence, and awarded Lawrie his first career inside-the-park homer despite objections from Gibbons.

Navarro and Shuck then pulled knuckleballs to right, marking the ninth time the Sox have hit three straight homers in a game.

Encarnacion hit a two-run single an inning later as Toronto built an 8-3 lead.

Lawrie went deep again to left in the fourth and added an RBI single off Gavin Floyd in the sixth. Anderson homered in the seventh off Drew Storen.

Avila’s long ball off Jason Grilli in the eighth made it 8-7. But Encarnacion’s had his third hit and second double in Toronto’s two-run ninth.

It marked the fourth time Toronto allowed seven or more homers in a game.

“That’s fun right there. Two ballclubs that can really hit,” Travis said. “I like our chances in those type of battles.”

MARLINS 9, CUBS 6

Bour and Stanton each drive in 3; Marlins top Cubs

By TIM REYNOLDS

The Associated Press

MIAMI – Ichiro Suzuki slapped a ground ball toward the left side of the infield, then hustled down the line to first just in case the throw didn’t get there in time.

It didn’t, and the Miami Marlins were in business.

That play by Suzuki kick-started what became a four-run fifth as the Marlins took the lead for good, and they went on to beat the Cubs, 9-6, Saturday.

“Just a good team,” said Justin Bour, who hit his 14th home run and finished with three RBIs. “Good vibe right now, and just got to keep it rolling.”

Giancarlo Stanton had his first three-RBI game since April 26 for Miami, which got to 40 wins in 75 games – or 20 games faster than they did a year ago. Paul Clemens (1-0) allowed four runs in five innings for his first big league win since June 12, 2013, and A.J. Ramos got the last two outs

Cubs starting pitcher John Lackey reacts after giving up a double to Miami Marlins’ Martin Prado during the fifth inning Saturday.

The Marlins scored four runs in the inning. for his 24th save in as many chances this season.

Going back to 2015, Ramos has saved 33 straight, tying a Marlins franchise record.

“He’s been solid,” Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. “Any team that has a guy at the end that’s closing ’em down and not giving ’em up, if you can get to him with a lead you’re in good shape.”

Addison Russell hit a three-run homer and Miguel Montero added a solo homer for the Cubs, who still have the best record in the majors even after losing five of their last six games. They ended a four-game skid Friday night despite giving up Bour’s grand slam.

“That’s a tremendous lineup,” Clemens said.

Cubs starter John Lackey (7-4) gave up a season-high seven runs in 4 1⁄3 innings, and it’s almost like he knew Suzuki’s infield single would be trouble – smacking his glove and shouting in frustration after he reached.

It only got worse over the next few

minutes for Lackey, who had a 2.78 ERA when the game started and a 3.29 ERA when it ended.

“To start off with an infield hit ...

I have to do better than that,” Lackey said. “Four runs should be enough to win that game.”

Suzuki took second when Russell’s throw squirted away from Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo, and scored two pitches later on Martin Prado’s double.

Stanton drove in Prado with a single that chased Lackey and put Miami up, 5-4, Bour greeted reliever Gerardo Concepcion with an RBI double, and Derek Dietrich’s sacrifice fly made it 7-4.

It was a rare sort of loss for the Cubs, who were 33-0 this season when scoring six runs and 44-3 when scoring at least four.

“When we score that many runs we’re going to win a baseball game,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “It was one of those nights and we move on.”

CHICAGO – Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey called it “bizarro world.”

Manager John Gibbons broke into a hearty laugh.

No one in the Blue Jays clubhouse could easily explain how they became just the third team in major league history to give up seven home runs in a game and win.

The White Sox tied a team record with those seven long balls, but it wasn’t enough as Edwin Encarnacion drove in four runs, Devon Travis homered and Toronto held on to beat the Sox, 10-8, Saturday.

“I don’t think I’ve ever been a part of a game like that,” Gibbons said.

The Sox joined Detroit as the only teams to lose after hitting at least seven homers.

The Tigers did it against the Sox on May 28, 1995, and versus Boston on Aug. 8, 2004.

All seven homers were solo shots.

Brett Lawrie became the first Sox player since Ron Santo in 1974 to hit inside-the-park and over-the-wall homers in the same game, and the Sox hit three straight home runs in

Anderson, Alex Avila and Adam Eaton all went deep for the Sox, who matched the club record for homers set at the Kansas City Athletics on April 23, 1955.

“Yeah, seven homers and you think you’d win the ballgame,” Eaton said. “That’s how baseball goes.

Baseball is a weird game.”

Dickey (5-8) gave up five runs – four earned – and seven hits in 5 1⁄3 innings in Toronto’s first win over the Sox in five meetings this season.

Roberto Osuna gave up Eaton’s homer in the ninth before earning his 15th save in 17 chances, closing just the second win for the Blue Jays in their last six games.

Miguel Gonzalez (1-3) gave up eight runs and 10 hits in 51⁄3 innings.

“We scored a lot of runs. We’ve got to win that game,” Gonzalez said. “That can’t happen.”

Encarnacion, Michael Saunders and Troy Tulowitzki had consecutive RBI doubles in a three-run first, and Travis hit a two-run drive in the second off Gonzalez.

With the Sox trailing, 5-0, in the second inning on a hot, windy day, Lawrie drove a Dickey fastball to left and second base umpire Ted Barrett signaled home run as the

Hawks draft DeBrincat in wake of Shaw trade

By MARK LAZERUS

Staff reporter – The Sun–Times BUFFALO, N.Y. – A day after trading away a scrappy, undersized, productive forward with a nose for the net, the Blackhawks went out and drafted another.

But don’t mistake second-round pick Alex DeBrincat for an Andrew Shaw clone. After all, Shaw never scored more than 22 goals in the Ontario Hockey League. DeBrincat has scored 51. Twice.

He’s tiny at 5-foot-7, but his gaudy numbers had some pundits expecting him to go in the first round.

So when he fell to the Hawks at No. 39, Stan Bowman – who’s never had a problem giving small players a shot – pounced.

DeBrincat is a Detroit-area native who grew up a Red Wings fan – “Not anymore,” he said – and will almost certainly be back with the Erie Otters when the season begins. But he said his goal is to crack the NHL lineup “as soon as

possible.”

“I’m a gritty goal-scorer,” said DeBrincat, who played a season at Lake Forest Academy and attended a few Hawks games.

DeBrincat’s had some big-name linemates with the OHL’s Erie Otters over the past two seasons.

In 2014-15, he had 51 goals and 53 assists with 2015 first-overall pick Connor McDavid as his center. This past season, he had 51 goals and 50 assists, he had 2015 third-overall pick Dylan Strome as his center.

“They definitely helped me a lot,” DeBrincat said. “Watching them in practice really improved my game a lot. You try to pick pieces of their game and use it in your own game. Just watching those guys and being able to play with those guys is pretty remarkable.”

DeBrincat was one of three second-round picks for the Hawks, who landed two by trading Shaw to Montreal on Friday night. The Hawks took DeBrincat, defense

man Chad Krys and Russian winger Artur Kayumov in a 12-pick span. Krys played alongside DeBrincat at the World Juniors, and crashed DeBrincat’s press scrum, jokingly asking what it’s like to be drafted to the same team as his old teammate.

Krys, a 5-11 Philadelphia native, had three goals and 26 assists in 53 games with the U.S. national team development program, a favorite source of prospects for Bowman and director of scouting Mark Kelley. Krys will play at Boston University next season. Kelley marveled at Krys’ poise and maturity, but Krys said he has plenty of room to grow.

Kayumov, a 5-10 Russian, had 12 goals and 19 assists in 39 games with the Russian under-18 team.

Through an interpreter, he called himself a goal-scorer and a leader – and a Hawks fan.

“This is my favorite team growing up and that’s all you need to say,” he said. “It’s amazing.”

Shaw ‘happy, excited’ after trade to Canadiens

By MARK LAZERUS

Staff reporter – The Sun–Times BUFFALO, N.Y. – If Andrew Shaw was devastated by being traded away from the only NHL team he’s ever known, he did a good job of hiding it Saturday. Shaw opened his introductory teleconference with Montreal media with a chipper, “Bonjour, everyone!” and sounded genuinely excited about playing for the storied Canadiens. “[Friday], emotions were on a roller coaster,” Shaw said. “But when it’s all said and done, I’m happy and excited. I’m three hours from home, which is big for me and my family.

Should be a fun year.”

Shaw is still a restricted free agent, but TSN reported once Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin finishes up with the draft, it shouldn’t be long before the two sides agree on a lengthy contract extension. A source said Shaw was seeking $4.5 million a year from the Hawks. He may have been willing to take less for a longer contract, but the cap-strapped Hawks couldn’t do either.

“I think we were pretty close, but they have cap issues and it’s tough to get around,” Shaw said of the Hawks.

“It was tough. I thought we were close. I loved being in Chicago; it’s a second home to me. A lot of great

memories there. I had a lot of friends and family in that city, so I’ll miss it dearly.”

Bergevin was instrumental in the Hawks drafting Shaw while an assistant GM in Chicago – “He likes the rat in me,” Shaw said – and could slot him alongside another agitator in Brendan Gallagher.

“Me and Gallagher have had some fun battles,” Shaw said. “Now I’m excited to be on his side to annoy people together, I guess. It’ll be a fun team to play with. I’m pretty excited about it.

Can’t wait for September.”

What’s next?

Stan Bowman wouldn’t say whether the Hawks will be pursuing any of their own unrestricted free agents, including Andrew Ladd, Dale Weise, Tomas Fleischmann, Brandon Mashinter and Michal Rozsival. But with free agency beginning on July 1, and with teams able to interview prospective free agents starting as of Saturday, it shouldn’t take long.

“We have a pretty good idea of where things are going to end up,” Bowman said. “Probably won’t be too long [before] you guys figure out who we’ll be signing.”

Bowman wouldn’t rule out adding a veteran defenseman in free agency.

The Hawks are expected to try to lure 37-year-old Brian Campbell to a relatively cheap contract.

Sixty years later, Providence alumni remain friends

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

JOLIET – Jan Lisdero Ciarlette of Lockport called it a miracle.

It was Ciarlette’s turn to say the rosary at Providence High School, then located at 169 N. Ottawa St. in Joliet.

Ciarlette had recently transferred from Lockport Township High School. She knew how to recite the rosary, but she felt nervous anyway.

Suddenly, the ceiling fell down and the rosary was canceled.

“I’ll never forget it,” Lisdero Ciarlette said.

“They never asked me to do it again.”

On June 11, the 1956 graduating class of what is now Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, celebrated its 60th anniversary with a lunch at Baker’s Square in Joliet as part of its regular monthly gathering, which members have hosted since 2004.

The actual date of graduation was May 27, 1956.

“We have wonderful memories – and the laughs!” said Judi Booklund of Joliet, the only woman present who is not a member of the graduating class as she finished high school in another town. “We have one story to tell after the other and it’s just a fun time.”

To spice up each occasion, Elvira Balog of Joliet often picks a theme and then embellishes it with quizzes, door prizes and small gifts.

For the 60th anniversary, Balog made table decorations using fresh flowers for the women to take home. Also on the table were placemats with the names of each member of the class.

These women, Balog feels, are worth it.

“We’ve known each other 64 years,” Balog said. “We’ve gone to wakes, weddings and birthday parties.”

As the alumni shared anecdotes from the past, more were recalled. If anyone needed prompting, a large scrapbook held plenty.

Booklund said the “spiritual ways” of the Sisters of Providence who taught at the school inspired her. But Booklund, who said she liked walking past the all-boys Joliet Catholic High School on the way home, also said she learned to study from the sisters.

“I came from a big family and it was difficult to find the time and space,” Booklund said. “I learned how to do that at Providence.”

Joanne Cresto Legerski of Crest Hill, whose mother was president of Providence’s moth-

“She was younger and more laid back,” Legerski said. “I learned a lot from her.”

Just because the girls attended a Catholic school didn’t mean they always behaved well.

Lynn Zobel Hischier of Joliet recalled how she and the other girls used to chase one teacher during the only year she taught at Providence.

“She went to the cloister,” Hischier said.

“She had to pray for us, I guess.”

Marion Block Soto of Joliet said learning happened in the lunch room, too, when Mary Ann Corcoran, a now retired Joliet dance teacher, joined them.

“She taught us ballroom dancing,” Soto said.

Betty Kolar Malone of Yorkville said she brought the secretary skills she learned at Providence to the Diocese of Joliet, where

she served as a secretary for the marriage tribunal.

“I was also Bishop McNamara’s and Bishop Blanchette’s secretary,” Malone said.

Jane Lucas Serrato of Rockdale said she and her friends had attended step-up day at another school but wound up enrolling at Providence.

“I didn’t even know where Providence was, to be truthful,” Serrato said.

Shannon Withers, director of alumni relations and special events, as well as a member of the Class of 1995, stopped by with souvenir gifts, like Providence coffee mugs. Balog promptly presented Withers with one of the table displays.

“Oh, that’s very sweet,” Withers said. “I’m going to keep it on my desk.”

Withers said the class of 1954 also meets consistently. It’s this type of connection Withers hopes to foster among all the alumni. She wants them to feel welcome at Providence, whether they attend events or randomly pop in to say, “Hi.” “We’re family,” Withers said. “And we want to see family, not just talk on the phone.”

Joliet’s UIE alumni raising funds Event set for Nov. 12 The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – Each year, Joliet Township High School alumni give back to their alma mater in a variety of ways.

The latest example of alumni support comes from the alumni group United in Excellence (UIE). UIE was an after-school step-team program offered at JTHS from 1996 to 2004. Earlier this year, the group reunited through Facebook to plan a celebratory performance and fundraising campaign to commemorate the 20th year of the program’s founding.

The UIE event is slated to take place on Nov. 12 in the Joliet Central High School auditorium, 201 E. Jefferson St. It will include performances by UIE alumni, guest artists and will involve current JTHS students. The production has been designed to serve as a beacon of advocacy for student programs at the high schools, with 100 percent of sponsorship and ticket sales directly benefiting students.

UIE has partnered with the JTHS Foundation, with the foundation acting as the fiscal agent for all sponsorships.

Jack and Marge Rice of Joliet recently celebrated their 60th anniversary with four generations present.

Replacing both knees an option Dear Dr K: I have severe osteoarthritis in both knees. Should I have both knees replaced at one time, or separately?

Dear Reader: A patient of mine who was a newlywed once said to me: “We want three kids. Some days, I want them each separated by a year or two. Other days, I want triplets.”

You may have a similar dilemma. Knee replacement is a major operation and requires a hospital stay. During the procedure, the surgeon removes damaged sections of your shin bone and thigh bone. He or she carefully cuts the bone to precisely fit the shape of the replacement implants, then attaches the artificial joint at the knee.

Knee replacement also requires a rigorous program of physical therapy and rehabilitation after surgery. It’s just plain hard work. You need to be ready for that, as well.

Should you consider having both knees replaced during a single surgery (simultaneous replacement)? If you are in good health, it’s worth talking to your doctor about replacing both knees at once.

There are several benefits to simultaneous replacement. These include going under anesthesia only once and fewer total days in the hospital. You’ll also have only one period of rehabilitation, although it will be longer than the period that follows surgery on a single knee. This will allow you to resume normal activities sooner than two separate surgeries.

Replacing both knees at once also is a good option if both of your knee joints are in poor condition. That’s because during recovery from the replacement of one knee, you need the other knee to work harder.

If the other knee hurts when you place weight on it, this will make it difficult for you during physical therapy and would also slow your recovery.

To do well in rehabilitation after si-

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff multaneous surgery, however, you need good arm strength. That’s because you’ll be using crutches or a walker, which require strong arms.

Simultaneous replacement slightly increases the risk of blood clots or heart attack. However, such complications are rare. Still, simultaneous replacement is not for everyone. It is not recommended for patients with heart or lung disease, or people older than 80.

There also are benefits to separate operations months apart. These include a reduced risk of post-surgical infection and less chance of needing a second surgery on either knee, to fix problems with the first surgery.

So having both knees replaced simultaneously surely is a reasonable option for many people. You and your doctor need to consider all of the issues mentioned above.

Personally, I’m younger than 80, my arms are strong and I have fun using crutches. So, if both of my knees had come to the end of the road and needed replacement, and if I had no underlying heart or lung disease, I’d probably choose simultaneous replacement of both knees.

Whether you have your knees replaced together or separately, you’ll need to actively participate in a rehabilitation program.

It is critically important to your rapid recovery from the surgery.

Woman denied shower for her baby resists going to sister’s Dear Abby: My husband and I have been together for 10 years, married for five. We have an 8-year-old daughter. Yes, the math is clear – she was a “love child.” My family is religious, and although I was 22 at the time of my pregnancy, they announced I would not be having a baby shower because I had conceived in sin and it wouldn’t look right.

My sister and her husband of five years recently announced she is pregnant and I am expected to attend showers and parties for her. Am I wrong for not wanting to go? I’ll gladly send a gift and be there when the baby is born, but I’d prefer to avoid having to attend any social function where I am shamed for living differently. Her friends are so judgmental that if they suspect you smoke, drink or curse, they roll their eyes and

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips go out of their way to avoid you. –

Shamed In Delaware Dear Shamed: Baby showers are

intended to welcome a new life into the world. They are not supposed to be vehicles for shaming anyone.

Frankly, I’m surprised Some of your less religiously fervent friends didn’t get together to see that you were given one. Because you and your sister’s judgmental crowd have so little in common and you would prefer to avoid them, you have my blessing.

Dear Abby: Two teenage boys who live on our block frequently ride their skateboards in the street. They wear

NEIGHBOR

no protective padding or helmets and pay no attention to their surroundings. They stay out at all hours in the summer, come flying into the street and swerve over both lanes of traffic.

I have seen cars narrowly avoid hitting them many times, and I hear cars honking at them and drivers shouting.

Their parents don’t seem to care.

They also let their dogs run loose around the neighborhood and into the street, and often back out of their driveway without looking. I know I’ll get nowhere speaking to them.

I’m terrified I’ll hit one of the boys with my car. I have come close twice and got dirty looks from them both times. I warn my visitors to watch out for them. I’m afraid it’s only a matter of time before something awful happens, and I don’t want to go to jail or

Volunteer.

live with a lifetime of guilt because of their irresponsible behavior. Any ideas? – Nervous In New England Dear Nervous: Regardless of whether you think it will get you anywhere, talk to the parents about how dangerous their teenagers’ behavior is, and when you do, explain that there have been a couple of near misses. After that, if the boys continue to ride in the street, mention it to your local police department and perhaps the boys will be cited for their recklessness.

(Some communities have ordinances requiring the use of helmets.) If the dogs create a nuisance, contact animal control. After that, que sera sera, and your conscience should be clear.

Brian Adams, a self-help author, wrote, “Learn the art of patience.

Apply discipline to your thoughts when they become anxious over the outcome of a goal.”

Discipline can pay good dividends at the bridge table, but crazy calls work occasionally too, especially when the opponents are goaded into undisciplined bids.

In today’s deal, what do you think of the auction, given that North’s three-diamond response was pre-emptive? (With a limit raise in diamonds, he would have bid two notrump. With a normal two-no-trump response, he would have started with redouble, showing 10 high-card points or more.)

Let’s take each call in turn. One diamond was impeccable. But the double does not appeal to me. I prefer to bid five-card majors. However, I agree that if East had had four spades and short hearts, double could have worked well.

I like North’s three-diamond raise.

After West’s double, the chance of a 4-4 spade fit was diminished, and why not try to make life tough for the opponents?

If I had held that East hand, I would have competed with four clubs. Pass was very timid. (Yes, if South then doubled four clubs, it would have gone down one, minus 200, but that would have been because the West hand was so poor.)

South showed excellent discipline in not bidding over three diamonds.

She realized that, with only one ace and a heart holding that was probably worthless, no game was going to make. In three diamonds, declarer lost one spade, two hearts and one diamond. Points aren’t everything.
