hlitchfield@shawmedia.com HICKORY HILLS – First Midwest Bancorp Inc., the parent company of First Midwest Bank, announced Wednesday it will acquire Standard Bancshares Inc., the holding company for Standard Bank & Trust Company, according to a news release from First Midwest.

Standard Bank & Trust is headquartered in Hickory Hills and has 35 branches throughout the suburbs, including locations in Bolingbrook, Coal City, Frankfort, Gardner, Joliet, Lockport, Minooka, Morris, New Lenox, Shorewood and Wilmington, according to its website.

“We think combined we will be an even stronger part of the communities,” Jim Roolf, senior vice president of First Midwest, said.

Roolf said as they move forward the two banks will assess how to combine in each community they both serve, including which branches will remain open.

“We think combined we will be an even stronger part of the communities.”

Jim Roolf

Senior vice president of First Midwest Standard has assets of about $2.5 billion with $2.2 billion in deposits.

“We are extremely pleased and excited to join First Midwest,” Lawrence P. Kelley, Standard’s president and CEO, said in the news release. “... As part of the First Midwest team, we will continue to provide the highly personalized experience our clients have come to expect while providing our clients with an expanded suite of products and services.”

The merger provides for a fixed exchange ratio of .4350 shares of First Midwest common stock for each share of Standard common stock.

According to the news release, based

upon First Midwest’s June 28 closing price of $16.11 per share, the overall transaction is valued at about $365 million.

“We could not be more excited to welcome Standard’s clients and colleagues to the First Midwest team,” First Midwest President and CEO Michael L. Scudder said in the news release. “This combination further positions us as metro Chicago’s premier commercial bank, strengthens our leading south metro market presence and continues our expansion into northwest Indiana.”

Upon closing of the transaction, Kelley will serve as the market president for First Midwest in its south metro Chicago and northwest Indiana markets, and will serve on the Board of Directors of First Midwest Bank.

The transaction is anticipated to close in late 2016 or early 2017, and remains subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing.

Calls to area branch presidents were not immediately returned Wednesday.

MetroNet installation coming to Romeoville

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com ROMEOVILLE – Village officials are welcoming an extensive fiber-optic network installation by MetroNet – a cable television, internet and phone service provider – to improve web capabilities for businesses and residents.

MetroNet workers broke ground in recent weeks on what is expected to be a 24-month installation process throughout the village. Crews will be posting signs and door tags in neighborhoods slated for construction. Weslake and Lakewood Falls are two of the first neighborhoods to see work done.

Romeoville Director of Public Works Eric Bjork said Friday that MetroNet will tap into existing easements in the village with minimal lane blockages.

A complete fiber-optic network uses glass fibers rather than conventional copper cable lines. According to a village

“We knew we’d like to have more fiber-optic here,” Noak said. “We told them our philosophy about the way we want to market the community as it continues to grow.”

Romeoville consumers will be able to access through MetroNet internet speeds of up to 1 gigabit per second and interactive fiber TV service. Noak said communities are becoming more dependent on fast internet speeds and eventually entire homes will be considered “smart homes.”

“High speed data capabilities are paramount,” Noak said. “It empowers residents.”

Consumers can subscribe to MetroNet services once the installations are complete. Noak said he anticipates other services such as Comcast and AT&T to become more proactive and make upgrades in the village.

Private companies that rely on state money also are playing guessing games trying to predict what the state will or won’t fund.

Mary Jaworski, president of the Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce & Industry, said she knows of one contractor who began laying off employees in anticipation of the state cutting off funds for road construction.

“This really does affect people,” Jaworski said.

New Lenox Mayor Tim Baldermann said he has been assured a stopgap budget – which as of 5 p.m. Wednesday had not yet been considered in Springfield – will continue to provide motor fuel tax funds the village needs for a

SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democrats in the General Assembly are nearing agreement on a plan to keep government open past Thursday’s end of the fiscal year and ensure schools open in August, lawmakers said Wednesday.

The tentative agreement emerged after a day of hours-long meetings between Rauner and Democratic leaders and could be brought up for votes on the House and Senate floors Thursday – the day before the state is set to enter its second fiscal year without a spending plan.

Aides to Rauner and the Democratic leaders were not commenting on the tentative deal Wednesday evening.

But Democratic Sen. Heather Steans, a Chicago lawmaker involved in the budget negotiations, said she was “cautiously optimistic there’s a deal.”

Sen. Pam Althoff, a Republican from McHenry, said the deal would fund operations for six months while financing elementary and secondary education for a full school year.

There would be a $485 million increase for K-12 schools over the current year, she said. The plan includes the $235 million general increase the Republican governor proposed and a $250 million “equity” grant to help schools with low-income students.

Chicago would get $100 million of the equity grant funding, said GOP Sen. Dave Syverson of Rockford.

Syverson said the plan would not be a “bailout” for the Chicago Public Schools, which Rauner has opposed, because it’s part of a broader package of money to fight poverty across the state.

“There’s no procedure to bail out Chicago because we’re increasing the poverty money, which ... helps every district,” Syverson said.

Rauner and Democrats who control the Legislature never did agree on a budget plan for the fiscal year now ending, although Rauner signed legislation to keep schools open and road construction moving – major functions of state government that won’t continue July 1 without an agreed-upon blueprint.

THE YEAR WITH NO BUDGET Will County-area officials reflect

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com and FELIX SARVER fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Cornerstone Services CEO Ben Stortz got an email Tuesday from the state seeking to initiate another year of mental health services provided by the Joliet-based nonprofit.

“It’s ironic that while we have not been paid for 2016 services, they want to enter into contracts for 2017,” Stortz said.

Cornerstone is among the municipalities, schools, social service agencies and the people they serve that have suffered during the past year because of state lawmakers being unable to cobble together a spending plan for the fiscal year that ends today.

Most Cornerstone services are funded through Medicaid, which still is coming through. But a fraction is paid through state grants that the state isn’t paying.

Cornerstone is waiting on $1 million for services rendered and will probably sign up again for next year, raising the prospect to a possible $2

million IOU from the state.

“At some point, we’ll have to make a decision if we want to continue,” Stortz said.

A new fiscal year starts Friday – but millions of dollars remained unpaid for services rendered in the past year as those affected awaited Wednesday for the outcome of an anticipated stopgap budget vote in the House and Senate in Springfield.

The Will County Health Department is facing a similar situation as Cornerstone, except it is owed $3 million by the state.

Health department Executive Director Sue Olenek said without a budget there is no guarantee that Illinois will pay its old bills or its new ones.

“There are two schools of thought out there,” Olenek said. “One is that we may see money from 2016. ... But we may not. They may just move on to 2017.”

The department laid off 15 people this year because of the shortfall in state funding. It eliminated certain services provided for the state in lieu of the closing of the Tinley Park Mental Health Center.

More services and jobs would have been cut. But Will County has loaned money to the department in hope of the state eventually paying its bills.

“People say, ‘Just get rid of the programs and then, if the state funds them, bring them back,’ ” Olenek said.

“It doesn’t work that way.”

The employees who made the program work may not be available once the state decides to send money.

Continued from page 3 The emerging plan calls for a $673 million increase for human services programs, including $20 million to restore programs that Rauner suggested eliminating, Althoff said.

There also is $1 billion for colleges and universities – about 85 percent of what they received the last time the state approved higher-education funding. Public universities limped along all year without state funding.

The plan is to give those hardest hit – Eastern Illinois University, Western Illinois University and Chicago State University – an extra funding boost after they document their funding woes, Syverson said.

The apparent deal comes as public pressure continued to mount for ending the gridlock. About a dozen Illinois newspapers used their front pages Wednesday to publish editorials demanding that the two sides strike a deal. About 50 more newspapers ran similar pieces on their opinion pages.

Steans said it was “incredibly positive” that Rauner and legislative leaders were able to come to an agreement but that she still viewed the developments as “a glass half full.”

“I still think it’s just a stopgap and it’s not a final solution,” she said.

For 18 months, Rauner has demanded business-friendly, union-weakening laws as a condition

Continued from page 3 program to repair 1.7 miles of streets every year. At least, it would for as long as the stopgap funds run.

“Your day-to-day operations can go on but municipalities don’t operate dayto-day,” Baldermann said.

He noted budget discussions in Springfield have included the prospects of freezing local property taxes and taking away income tax revenue that now goes to local governments. Until a real budget is in place, cities and villages will be left wondering what they have to give up.

“You know when there’s an 11th hour deal everything’s on the table, and we don’t have time to respond,” Baldermann said.

Schools bore less of the brunt of the state budget impasse when Rauner signed legislation to fund them last June. School districts on average receive about 26 percent of their funding from the state.

Because of that, not having a state budget in place wasn’t an issue for Lockport Township High School District 205, Superintendent Todd Wernet said. Lo-

lawmakers were in session since they adjourned their spring session May 31.

The Joliet Region Chamber of Commerce and Industry is seen Sept. 2, 2014, in downtown Joliet. cal property taxes are carrying the fiscal load for District 205, he said. More than 80 percent of the district is locally funded.

“I think we’ll be OK, at least being able to stay open,” said Wernet, who is hopeful at least a K-12 stand-alone bud-

get is passed by the state.

Plainfield School District 202 hasn’t had any major operational issues because of the lack of a state budget, district spokesman Tom Hernandez wrote in an email.

serves to keep the doors open for about 100 school days. We’re keeping an eye on the situation, contacting our legislators and discussing options, probably like everyone else,” Hernandez wrote.

District 202 Superintendent Lane Abrell said in a Herald-News guest view column that continued delays with the state budget could seriously hurt the district. He encouraged residents to contact their local representatives regarding the state budget impasse. “... If there was ever a time to call your local representatives, this is it,” he wrote.

Joliet murder case waiting on phone records

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A Lockport man charged with killing a man and injuring a woman in a Joliet shooting last summer appeared in court Wednesday.

Lonnie M. Pinnick, 25, was wearing a red jumpsuit when he appeared before Judge Dave Carlson, which indicated he is being Lonnie M. kept in the medical unit Pinnick at the Will County Jail.

About 1:20 a.m. Aug. 23, 2015, Sjontre Thompson and his cousin, Keyshaunna Barefield, were leaving a party in the 1400 block of Englewood Avenue in a silver Chevrolet Cruze.

According to police, when Barefield put the vehicle in reverse, Pinnick took out a handgun and shot at them.

Thompson was killed and Barefield was wounded.

But Barefield and Pinnick told police they’d been having friendly conversation when Pinnick started shooting at unknown attackers across

a courtyard.

Pinnick was on parole for a gun possession charge at the time and was carrying a revolver when he was arrested five days later. Thompson and Barefield were shot by a semi-automatic handgun, according to court files.

Defense attorney Jeff Tomczak asked Carlson to allow Pinnick’s mother, who lives out of state, to visit him at the jail while she’s in the area.

According to the written motion, Pinnick’s mother can stay up to 30 minutes and Pinnick’s two children may be with her.

“I will grant the motion to allow it over the [prosecutor’s] objection, but how it’s done will be under the policies at the jail,” Carlson said.

Carlson also said information requested by the defense through a subpoena has not been submitted.

“I believe [the case] is waiting on phone records to be received. I’m not sure which company,” Carlson said.

Pinnick stood in the jury box and answered “T-Mobile” for the court.

His next court appearance is scheduled for July 20.

JOLIET TOWNSHIP – A Joliet teen was arrested Tuesday night after he and two companions allegedly waylaid another driver at gunpoint.

Will County sheriff’s spokeswoman Kathy Hoffmeyer said the incident occurred at 10:42 p.m. as the 19-year-old victim was in the 1600 block of Old New Lenox Road in Joliet Township.

“Two males and one female in a white SUV stopped his vehicle by pulling their vehicle in front of him,” Hoffmeyer said. “One of the males pointed a semi-automatic handgun at the victim and demanded his wallet and cellphone.”

The robbery occurred within sight of a gas station. Responding deputies saw a speeding vehicle matching the description at East Washington Street and attempted to stop it, but were not successful, Hoffmeyer said.

“Deputies then located the vehicle on Rowell Avenue where they observed the SUV driving through a field and eventually strike a tree,” Hoffmeyer said.

ative and get an education. But John left Joliet Township High School to work in a family grocery business that had stores in Joliet and Elgin.

He joined the Army in World War II and “served a couple of times under Gen. [George] Patton,” George said.

After the war, John got back into the family grocery business at the Paragon in Elgin. He was a bowler and was awarded a patch for hitting a 7-10 split in one tournament, George said.

John got into the bowling business when AMF Bowling Co. was looking for a location in Joliet. A nephew in the real estate business suggested building a bowling alley on West Jefferson Street, convinced that the city would grow in that direction.

“These guys got together in 1956 and went to AMF and decided they were going to get into the bowling business,” George said.

John’s funeral is 10 a.m. Thursday at All Saints Greek Orthodox Church, 102 N. Broadway St., Joliet. Entombment will follow at Woodlawn Memorial Park near Jefferson Street and Airport Drive in Joliet.

JOLIET – John Kontos was a business pioneer on West Jefferson Street, opening the Town & Country Lanes bowling center with a group of business partners at a time when it was surrounded by farms and open fields.

Kontos, 95, died Saturday.

Kontos and his partners opened the aptly named Town & Country Lanes in 1958, said his son, George Kontos.

“When he opened in 1958, there wasn’t any building [on Jefferson Street] west of Midland Avenue,” George said.

“They envisioned Jefferson Street to be what it ended up becoming – the main drag and major thoroughfare that it is.

Eventually, the city came to the bowling center. The city grew up around it.”

George joined the business in 1976, when his father was the last of the original investors still involved in Town & Country Lanes. He runs it today. The phones have been ringing at the business since the notice of John’s death.

“We’re getting calls from customers we haven’t seen in 10 years,” George said. “He was strong with the community. He was strong with his customer base.”

His father also was a strong family man, George said. Family included John’s late wife, Sophie Kontos, who also worked at Town & Country; two daughters, Lea Kontos and Joni Gonzalez; and five grandchildren.

John remained involved in the bowling center until just a few years ago, always enjoying the company of the patrons, George said.

“Until the time he was 90 or 92, he still came in and talked with people. He missed the people,” George said.

John was born in Joliet, but his Greek parents moved back to the old country when he was 1. They sent him back to Joliet at age 14 to live with a rel-

U.S. Secret Service probing Minooka identity theft spree SHAW MEDIA MINOOKA – Contrary to rumors, the Minooka Police Department has not arrested anyone in connection with a recent string of identity thefts, Police Chief Justin Meyer said in a statement Wednesday afternoon.

Minooka police received at least 70 reports of identity theft earlier this month.

Meyer said the department was initially in contact with a law enforcement agency in Missouri that had arrested

two people on charges related to “card cloning.” The pair happened to be in the Bloomington-Normal area earlier this month. Evidence found in the investigation, however, had no ties to Minooka.

The department is working with the U.S. Secret Service, Meyer said, which has collected extensive bank records provided by victims.

“The USSS is now analyzing that data and hopefully can provide our department, and you, the answers we are looking for in one to two weeks,” Meyer said in the statement.

LOCAL BRIEF

–Shaw Media

By FELIX SARVER

“We’ll have to wait and see.”

NEW LENOX – An investors rights law firm is encouraging those who purchased Lincoln-Way District 210 bonds to join a class action lawsuit to recover their losses.

The Rosen Law firm announced June 20 it is investigating potential securities claims on behalf of investors of District 210 bonds after allegations surfaced that “materially misleading business information may have been issued to the investing public.”

The firm, which has offices in New York City, Los Angeles and Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, is asking investors of District 210’s Series 2013A bonds and Series 2013B bonds to join the lawsuit.

Superintendent Scott Tingley could not be reached Wednesday. An email to board President Dee Molinare was not returned.

Phillip Kim, a Rosen Law partner, said no investors have signed on thus far, but it’s still early. He didn’t have a timeline for when the

Rosen Law partner

lawsuit could happen. The law firm’s website lists Aug. 31 as the registration deadline for investors.

“We’ll have to wait and see,” he said.

District 210 is being investigated by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to determine if any federal securities laws have been violated.

The district also has received a federal subpoena for various documents regarding its former superintendent, Lawrence Wyllie, and the board. The Frankfort Square Park District received a federal subpoena on the controversial Superdog training facility operated at Lincoln-Way North High School.

The SEC investigation follows an agreed-upon procedures report on bond proceeds, which showed improper accounting practices, as well as fund transfer issues that will require the district to increase its borrowing by $5 million to fix the matter.

In April, the board acknowledged that a “proper system of checks and balances was not in place” and that Wyllie took unauthorized action.

Rosen Law cites the downgrading of District 210’s debt by Moody’s and the SEC investigation in its announcement of the potential lawsuit.

Because of its crippling financial problems, the board agreed last August to shut down Lincoln-Way North.

The controversial decision caused residents – the majority of whom were North parents – to file a lawsuit against the district to keep the school open. A Will County judge dismissed the lawsuit in June after a roughly five-month legal fight.

U.S. Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Western Springs, is teaming with the Library of Congress to bring the Veterans History Project to Illinois’ 3rd Congressional District.

The VHP collects, preserves and makes accessible the personal accounts of veterans so that future generations can better understand the experiences of our veterans and the contributions they have all made to America, according to a news release from Lipinski.

Veterans of any conflict – including the Cold War – can call Lipinski’s office at 773948-6223 and schedule an interview time with a specially trained staff member. The interview will be recorded and a copy will be sent to the veteran and the Library of Congress, according to the news release.

In addition, veterans can donate copies of correspondence as well as visual materials.

All recorded interviews and other donated items will be housed in a preservation environment within the permanent collections of the Library of Congress. Within a six-month processing period, all provided materials will be available to anyone visiting the library.

Minooka officials: Karate program can stay in village community room

By KRIS STADALSKY

Shaw Media correspondent MINOOKA – Despite the fact that a youth organization charges a fee for its program, Minooka trustees agreed to allow it to continue using the village’s community room.

It recently came to the attention of the village that Champion Youth Outreach might be in conflict with village policy, which requires that community room users not be in competition with local businesses. Use of the community room is free.

The nonprofit has been holding weekly self-defense and safety classes in Minooka for more than eight years and in the village’s community center for some time, said Champion program director Tex Sanders.

“Once we allow you, we are going to have 50 other requests,” said Trustee Terry Houchens, who helped draft the policy for use of the community room.

Sanders went before the village board Tuesday to explain that while Champion charges a $6 fee per week per family, the majority of the fee is used to cover insurance, along with administra-

tive costs and instructor pay.

Champion caters to families who can’t afford the cost of typical martial arts classes. People who want more regular instruction or to complete a black belt program would not attend the program, he said.

The program serves 30 to 40 students each week, regardless of their ability to pay, and offers grants.

“If I could do it for free, I would,” Sanders said.

Trustee Dennis Martin said that other programs that use facilities, such as soccer and baseball leagues, charge fees to play and clubs charge dues.

“I think they offer a public service to the children and the town,” Trustee Dick Parrish said.

After further discussion, it was the board’s consensus to allow Champion to continue using the village space.

Agreement extended to recover investment loss

Trustees unanimously approved an extension to the Illinois Metropolitan Investment Fund tolling agreement to help with recovery of lost funds on a fraudulent investment that resulted in

the loss of $125,000 for the village in 2014.

The agreement has been extended to Jan. 31, 2017.

“We want to make sure we have an agreement in place so we can collect what we are owed,” Village Administrator Dan Duffy said.

Many other municipalities, park districts and schools also lost money on the investment.

Minooka will have to wait to recoup its loss since larger entities, including the IRS and USDA, claim to have first and foremost rights, Duffy said.

Other business

Ten acres of land, formerly in unincorporated Grundy County, were annexed into the village by request of Catellus/ProLogis. The property is adjacent to other property in the ProLogis Internationale Centre on Minooka Road. Trustees also approved preliminary and final plats of the property.

St. Mary’s Church in Minooka also received approval on the final plat for its parish hall and community center.

A resolution awarded low bidder Andrew Concrete the 2016 sidewalk replacement program at a cost of $70,622.40.

Channahon District 17 OKs tentative 2017 budget

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media correspondent CHANNAHON – The Channahon School District 17 board approved Tuesday its fiscal 2017 tentative budget, which will be displayed for public inspection through Aug. 22, when the board will hold a public hearing.

According to Chief School Business Official Mike Schroeder, the overall budget is down 9.9 percent, or $1.75 million, from this year.

Of significance is the line item for debt payment, which will decrease to zero. The district set an accelerated payoff schedule for bonds issued and made its final payment this year, saving taxpayers considerable dollars in interest.

The district’s fiscal 2015 tentative budget included $2.13 million

Shaw Media correspondent SHOREWOOD – Shorewood residents have contacted the village to ask if it treats trees on public aprons if they can be spared, which was not the plan put forward by officials previously.

Public works supervisor Chris Drey had the approval by the board to remove public-owned ash trees because of the infestation of the emerald ash borer beetle, which has infested hundreds of trees in the area and threatens healthy ash trees in Shorewood.

Mayor Rick Chapman presented Tuesday a resolution to explain the village’s intentions, which was approved unanimously.

in debt payment, and there was another $1.46 million in 2016. This year, Schroeder said, this is a bill that will not come.

Also in the 2017 tentative budget

moved, so they should probably stop spending money on the trees,” Chapman said.

The board will further explore how to address ash trees on resident’s private property to avoid a dangerous situation with dead trees and be sympathetic of the cost of tree removal.

Community development director Karen James addressed the board about a resolution to accept a grant of bike path easement on Crossroads Business Park lots 11 and 12, which was approved unanimously.

“This is just a housekeeping item.

The existing bike path takes a jog out of the public access easement. There is a public easement along lot 11, but the path was built outside of the easement and it was never corrected,” James

said. “I request approval of the resolution to execute the easement so the path is fully in public easement.”

In the next couple of weeks, residents will have to accommodate a resurfacing project on Black Road west of River Road from Wildflower to Saddlebrook drives. The resurfacing job was approved unanimously Tuesday for a cost of $237,998 to be done by P.T. Ferro Construction.

Drey said he was confident the project would be completed in July so it would not compromise bus travel for schools, but Chapman was concerned about harvest-related traffic.

“We will have to work with what we have out there. We will have some detours and relocate local traffic,” Drey said.

is a 3.2 percent increase in education fund expenditures and a 23.2 percent decrease in operations and maintenance expenditures because of the purchase this year of a new heating, ventilation and air conditioning system at Three Rivers School and of a box truck.

The total revenues for 2017 are a tentative $20.4 million, and expenditures

are estimated at $17.9 million.

A five-year contract with the district’s custodial staff was also approved that includes 3 percent raises for the next two years for staff hired before 1999 and 4 percent raises for staff who began after 1999. For the remaining three years of the contract, custodians will be given raises based on the Urban

Consumer Price Index, with a floor of 2.5 percent and a ceiling of 4 percent.

Also approved Tuesday was the new student handbook, which included changes to discipline, the head injury policy and what parents may send to school for birthday treats.

Board members Misty Kosek, Julie Bankes and Joan Ferguson were absent.

“People have asked if they can keep their trees if they are healthy. We need to make it clear with a resolution that it was a board decision that all public-owned ash trees need to go. It’s a matter of time before the healthy trees get infected,” Chapman said.

Village Trustee Anthony Luciano said he has had residents tell him they have treated their ash trees in order to save them.

“Should we tell them to stop spending money on their trees because they are going?” he asked.

Chapman informed the board some residents have been made aware of the village’s intent via mail and the rest will receive letters shortly.

“In the next two to three years the ash trees in the village will all be re-

OBITUARIES ESTHER B. RICHARDSON

His people. Among the many services to the parish, Esther lectured and taught in the R.C.I.A. program for new converts, joined the Liturgy committee and hosted their annual post-Christmas dinner-party in her home for eight consecutive years; as seamstress she sewed and embroidered all the altar decorations; she assisted and supervised decorating the Altar for special Holy Days; she volunteered and was appointed Sacristan and served for 14 years; she performed the “holy wash,” i.e., she laundered by hand, the purificators and other altar linens at least three times weekly; she laundered priests Albs, vestments, 50 new altar-server gowns, and then those needing washing weekly. She opened the church for daily morning Mass and prepared the altar for the priest.

While growing up in the Philippines, Esther, along with her parents and her 11 siblings experienced many hardships. They survived the Japanese occupation and the many atrocities during World War II. Sometimes they had very little to eat. They had no simple things such as toothbrushes and toothpaste. Instead they used twigs from trees and salt to brush their teeth. But these hardships and sufferings served to strengthen their resolve and their religious beliefs and trust in God. They never wavered and they never doubted God. They believed in the end He would protect them and they would persevere. They prayed and always believed in the power of prayer.

Esther used that toughness, strength and belief in God throughout her life to help her cope with so many difficult situations, such as those inherent in nurturing and raising her children, while being so far away from her own family.

Because she had several small children she was not able to return to the Philippines to visit her family when her father died, nor even to return before a total of 16 years. Esther never complained while suffering the excruciating pain and ravages of her body caused by the P.S.P. disorder. Instead she prayed and offered her suffering up to God. Many times Esther was asked how she was able to accomplish so many tasks while raising five children and taking care of her family and home, which in addition to those mentioned above, included such tasks as painting the fence, painting and decorating the basement for the grandchildren, wallpapering four bedrooms,

painting the kitchen, and many, many more. Her answer was simply: “I just did it!” If asked why she worked so hard performing all the work at church and why she didn’t ask for help or get someone as a replacement, her answer was always: “I do it for JESUS!” For recreation, Esther eventually developed an interest in golfing and in bowling. She also enjoyed card games with the ladies. Some influence of her spouse led her to even become a lukewarm fan of the Chicago Cubs and Chicago Bears. But Esther delighted in and experienced the greatest joy when she had children around, whether they were her own little ones, her grandchildren or those she met, to entertain, to play video or other games with or just to hug and make them feel wanted.

The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made in Esther’s memory to CurePSP at www.psp.org/donate/tribute-gift. html, to Joliet Area Community Hospice, 250 Water Stone Circle, Joliet, IL, or to Saint Paul the Apostle Parish Capital Campaign, 18 N. Woodlawn, Joliet, IL 60435 The family gives special thanks to Dr. Deborah Hall, Rush Medical Center, Chicago, Dr. Robert S. Schubert, DuPage Medical Group, Joliet and the many nurses and staff of Joliet Area Community Hospice for the compassion and quality of care they provided to our beloved wife, mother, grandmother. We also thank all of Esther’s private caregivers for the last several months, especially Patty, Deanna, Maria, Holly, Britney and Leslie. Your kindness will forever be remembered.

Funeral services for Esther B. Richardson will be held on Friday, July 1, 2016, at 9:45 a.m. from the Fred C. Dames Funeral Home, 3200 Black at Essington roads, Joliet to St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church for a Mass of Christian Burial to be celebrated at 10:30 a.m. Interment St. John the Baptist Cemetery.

Esther B. Richardson (nee Bichara), age 83, passed away at 9:25 p.m. on June 26, 2016, in the presence of her loving family, and thus her 10-year battle with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (P.S.P.), a rare brain disorder has ended. There is no known cause, no known cure, and no effective treatment for P.S.P. (see CurePSP at psp.org).

Esther is the daughter of Emily (Panayotti) (a native of Bethlehem, Palestine) and Victor Bichara (a native of Beirut, Lebanon). Esther is survived by her husband, Warren Vincent Richardson; their five children, Vanessa Meyer (Ralph), Shorewood, Paul (Dawn), Channahon, Dr. Emily Richardson-Whisman (Mark), Longmont, CO, Stephen (Maria), Joliet, and Colette Varco (Tom), Johns Creek, GA; and their 12 grandchildren, Teresa and Ralphie Meyer, Grace Richardson, Hannah and Henry Whisman, Stephen Jr., Alton, Anna, Victor and Mia Richardson and Adam and Gina Varco. Also surviving are three sisters, Mother Margaret Mary of the Child Jesus, OCD, Prioress of Carmelite Convent, Naga City, Philippines, Mrs. Emily Borgaily, Davao City, Philippines, and Mrs. Julia O’Mahony, Jacksonville, Florida; and four brothers, all in the Philippines, Benjamin, Miguel, Victor Jr. and Alexander Bichara. She is also survived by six sisters-in-law and four brothers-in-law, in addition to numerous nieces and nephews.

She was predeceased by her parents; her mother in-law and father in-law; three brothers, Alfredo, Alfonso and Jaime Bichara; one sister, Mrs. Susana Borgaily; seven sisters-in-law; and six brothers in-law.

Esther and Warren Vincent Richardson were married at Paules (St. Vincent DePaul) Roman Catholic Church in Manila, Philippines, on May 4, 1957. They met while Esther was attending St. Scholastica College in Manila (majoring in music and liberal arts) and he was serving in the U.S. Navy at Sangley Point Naval Station, located across Manila Bay from the city.

Esther and her husband arrived in Ludlow (Esther’s first time ever in the USA) in time for Christmas, 1957. She was immediately welcomed with open arms by her in-laws, including the parents of her husband as well as by his nine siblings, their spouses and the many nieces and nephews. Esther remained with her parents-in-law for a month while her husband returned to California to obtain his honorable discharge from the Navy after five years of service. The young couple remained with his parents three more months while he searched for employment.

This four-month period provided opportunities for which Esther, true to her character, took advantage of. She learned to cope with cold, harsh Midwest winter weather, she formed a very loving relationship with her in-laws, especially with her mother in-law, who “took her under her wing” and helped Esther adapt to American culture. Esther, never one to waste an opportunity, was always present to help, to observe and

to ask questions. The relationship she formed with her mother in-law was due in large part to Esther’s ability to ask questions and converse in a way that showed genuine interest in the person and make that person feel that Esther cared. Esther treated people in this manner and made many friends during her lifetime.

Esther gave birth to and nurtured five children in the next seven years, while her husband worked and attended the University of Illinois.

After his graduation, the family moved to the Quad Cities area and subsequently became members of St. John Vianny Catholic Church, a Church they helped build in the new parish established in Bettendorf, Iowa, where they lived. Esther promptly became active in this new Parish. She volunteered to teach CCD to children of the new parish, she worked in fund drives, she hosted luncheons in her home for the parish priest.

When the youngest of the children started kindergarten, Esther enrolled in night school at Marycrest College, Davenport, Iowa. After completing the required courses and the required student teaching for the elementary education curriculum Esther received her bachelor’s degree. When the family moved to Joliet a few months later Esther began substitute-teaching in the Joliet grade school district and continued for several years. This move provided Esther new opportunities to use her innate drive for practicing her Christian beliefs taught by Jesus.

The family immediately joined Holy Family Catholic Church where she was very active in the church for sixteen years. She was chosen an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Eucharist. She was a member of the bingo committee as well assisting with the annual ham dinner fund-raiser. She hosted luncheons in her home for the parish priests, and invited them and sometimes their close relatives to family Christmas dinners or other celebrations, because, as she stated on many occasions, “priests are very lonely on holidays and other celebrations.”

She became a very active volunteer for Joliet Area Community Hospice in its relative infancy, and served for ten years. She served as a member of the bereavement group wherein she made regular visits and consoled the several patients and their families assigned to her. Many of these patients had no close family members or other relatives to visit them. She also devised a computer system for recording and reporting hours served by the many volunteers. She recorded these hours and prepared reports so the hospice organization could submit the reports and be granted financial assistance from Government agencies.

Later on after the family moved to Shorewood, and some of the children went away to college, she volunteered with Crisis-Line. She consoled the many people on the phone who called in with psychological or practical problems and advised them or referred them to other agencies where they could obtain additional assistance.

Meanwhile the family joined Saint Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, it being closer to their Shorewood home, and have remained there for 28 years. This move provided new opportunities for Esther to expand the practice of her religion for the love of God and service to Him and

Chicago for buying cigarettes and other tobacco products goes up to 21 at the end of the week.

The city on Friday joins about 170 local jurisdictions around the country that have made the change, including New York City and Boston. Health advocates have pushed the policy to discourage teenagers from starting a harmful habit.

Hawaii and California have raised the tobacco purchase age to 21 statewide.

Illinois lawmakers are considering a similar measure.

The Chicago City Council approved the age increase in March, along with higher taxes and other efforts to combat tobacco sales.

City agencies and aldermen have been working with licensed tobacco retailers to inform them about the new requirement that anyone buying tobacco products be at least 21-years-old.

PEORIA – Public records show that the Illinois Department of Corrections owes nearly $82,000 in utility payments for its facility in Peoria.

The Peoria Journal Star reported that a Freedom of Information Act request uncovered documentation of the amount owed to sewer, water, gas and electricity providers for the Peoria Adult Transition Center. The 48,000-square-foot facility houses nearly 250 offenders who are reintegrating into the community.

New laws set to take effect around country

By DAVID A. LIEB

The Associated Press New laws targeting abortion are set to take effect Friday in about one-fifth of the states, initiating another wave of restrictions just days after the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a Texas measure that led several clinics to close.

Some of the laws limit when and how the procedure can be performed. Others restrict what can be done with tissue from aborted fetuses.

Still others seek to block abortion providers from getting government funding.

They are part of a raft of laws that are going on the books around the country with the start of the new fiscal year July 1. California, for example, will tighten its childhood vaccination requirements, narrowing the ability of parents to opt out. Vermont will become the first state to require labeling of genetically modified ingredients in food. And Idaho and Tennessee will expand the right to carry concealed guns.

A look at some of the new measures:

ABORTION

Laws limiting what can be done with the remains of aborted fetuses are set to take effect in Alabama, Florida, Idaho, Indiana and South Dakota, although some are under legal attack.

In Florida, Mississippi and Missouri, new laws would stop tax dollars from going to Planned Parenthood.

Many of those funding and fetal-tissue laws came in response to undercover videos released last summer that alleged Planned Parenthood officials were selling fetal tissue for profit. The organization denied it, and two anti-abortion activists who made the videos face felony charges in Texas.

“Typically, in a major election year, we see a decrease in the number of abortion

California state Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, is thanked by Leah Russin, holding her son, Leo, on June 30, 2015, after Pan’s bill requiring nearly all schoolchildren to be vaccinated was signed by Gov. Jerry Brown. The bill becomes law Friday. restrictions enacted,” said Elizabeth Nash, who tracks state policies at the nonprofit Guttmacher Institute, which supports abortion rights. “But this year, we’ve seen a bit of an uptick.”

A lawsuit already is challenging a new Indiana law banning abortions because of the fetus’ race, sex or genetic abnormalities, such as Down syndrome.

HEALTH AND FOOD

California will no longer allow parents to cite philosophical objections to avoid vaccinating their children against measles, mumps and rubella. The law will now require a valid medical reason for an exemption and will apply to public and private schools.

“This will help restore our community immunity,” said Sen. Richard Pan, a Sacramento pediatrician who introduced the legislation after a measles outbreak at Disneyland in December 2014. The outbreak sickened 147 people in the U.S., mostly in California.

Vermont will require most food containing genetically modified ingredients to have

labels that read “produced with genetic engineering.”

GUNS AND CRIME

Starting Friday, Idaho will allow residents 21 and older to carry concealed guns without needing permits or training, making it the 10th state with such a policy. Similar laws took effect earlier this year in Mississippi and West Virginia.

Tennessee will let faculty and staff with concealed gun permits carry their weapons at public colleges and universities.

Georgia will allow employees and students older than 18 to carry stun guns on public college campuses. Supporters tout it as a means of self-defense, while critics worry the weapons could be misused.

In Colorado, a new law doubles to 20 years the amount of time after an attack that sexual assault victims have to seek charges. State Rep. Rhonda Fields crafted the bill after two Colorado women claimed Bill Cosby assaulted them decades ago. The comedian has denied any wrongdoing.

“When I go back to Berkeley, I will be lost, and with all the damned depression, riots and attempts by everyone to get me on pot, I am afraid I shall just flip.”

The other day, I read this letter that was sent to William F. Buckley, the founder of National Review, in 1968 from a young man looking for advice.

He explained that he had been having “attacks of doubt,” describing himself as “spinning,” “reeling” and “confused.”

He had gotten into some wild things on campus, and philosophy class was upending his understanding of the world.

“I do not really know what is wrong with me, but I do feel that something is wrong with me, and I ask your advice. ...

I am so sad and need help.”

That was Berkeley, then. It seems like much of the world, now.

On a recent Monday morning, the psalm reading at St. Agnes Church near Grand Central Station included these words: “You have rocked the country and split it open; repair the cracks in it, for it is tottering. You have made your people feel hardships; you have given us stupefying wine.”

Oh, how familiar that seems.

This month, the American Enterprise Institute (AEI) hosted a day devoted to Catholic Social Teaching, during which Cardinal Donald Wuerl, the archbishop of Washington, told the story of a speech he had given at Harvard on faith in a pluralistic society. After the speech, a law professor who identified as an atheist had asked him, and the other religious leaders present: “What do you people think you bring to our society?”

Wuerl answered the lawyer with a series of questions of his own: “What do you think the world would be like if it were not for the voices of all of those religious traditions represented in the hall? What would it be like if we did not hear voices in the midst of the community saying, ‘you shall not kill, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness?’

“What would our culture be like had we not heard religious imperatives such as ‘love your neighbor as yourself’ and ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you?’ How much more harsh would our land be if we did not grow up hearing, ‘blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness, blessed are the merciful, blessed are the peacemakers?’ What would the

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez world be like had we never been reminded that someday we will have to answer to God for our actions?”

The atheist got the point and acknowledged: “It would be a mess!” Or, more of a mess than it already is.

Wuerl warned that the current reluctance in some quarters to welcome any religious point of reference in public and civic life has become a matter of preoccupation precisely because it has always been assumed that good public policy – the kind that results in a good and just society – ultimately must have “some religious antecedence, some appreciation that there are moral imperatives not created by human beings.”

To that young man writing from Berkeley, Wuerl might have pointed to America’s founding, as he did at AEI. We are a people who – at least on paper – assent to a reality that includes some self-evident truths, like our “inalienable” rights.

“When we stand up today in the public arena and the courts for the identity, integrity and freedom of our ministries,” said Wuerl, “we do so not to protect a narrow privilege, but to uphold American constitutional guarantees and to protect our right and duty to serve ‘the least of these’ and promote the common good without violating the teachings of our faith.”

He pointed to poverty, immigration and our need to be good stewards of human life and all the gifts and talents we have been given. He pointed to the poison of abortion in our midst, saying, “Clearly, a nation that destroys a million unborn children a year is failing a fundamental moral test.”

To the young people present, he said, as he might have to the Berkeley student: “Our task is to do not everything we can, but only what we ought to do.”

Perhaps that’s a good starting point for anyone feeling lost today.

Joliet Central’s new head coach Lawrence Thompson Jr. goes over the game plan against Normal Community. The Steelmen lost the game Wednesday at the 31st Annual Boys Summer Shootout at Morris High School.

THE NEW-LOOK STEELMEN

Joliet Central adjusts to veteran basketball coach Thompson

By TIM TIERNEY

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – After coaching 33 years at Lockport and one season at Joliet West, Lawrence Thompson Jr. is getting a different basketball team ready for a new season.

Thompson’s youthful Joliet Central squad began play Wednesday in the 31st Annual Morris Boys Shootout, the Steelmen’s final tournament of the summer. The two-day, 32-team event includes defending champion Galesburg

and 2014 winner Normal Community.

Joliet Central was without Jose Grubbs and Cameron Blackmon, two returnees from last year’s 16-13 team, who didn’t play because of minor injuries.

The Steelmen opened with a 55-51 loss to Burlington Central, rebounded with a 55-38 win over Peotone but lost their final game of the day, 65-44, to Normal Community.

For Thompson, now clad in a Joliet Central Steelmen T-shirt, wins and losses at the Morris event aren’t the

main concern.

“What I’m looking at, because that’s what we stressed this summer, is offensively,’’ Thompson said. “I’m looking more for pace, shot selection, all the little things that shows me you want to be a team player.’’

The Steelmen also played in shootouts this summer at Joliet West and Stagg, and had single games on Monday nights at Central. The summer competition helps to form the winter roster.

“I’ve got 14 kids here dressed, and

I had over 25 kids on game nights on Mondays,’’ Thompson said. “I see a lot of kids, so when time comes to make a decision, I’ve got the most information I can about who’s going to make it.

“Tryouts can’t be more than one or two days at the varsity level. I’m new to a lot of kids here. I know what I want to have done. Some of it is similar to what coach (Jeff) Corcoran did, but a lot of it is different. I’ve got to take this time when I see kids play.’’

24 NHRA

Line, Anderson already in NHRA playoffs

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com The NHRA season is only midway through its 24-race schedule, but two drivers already are assured of spots in the Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship.

As competitors take this weekend off to prepare for next week’s 19th annual K&N Filters Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway, Jason Line and Greg Anderson won’t have to worry about qualifying for the playoffs, which features the final six events of the season.

At Sunday’s Summit Racing NHRA Nationals in Norwalk, Ohio, Line beat out teammate Anderson to win the Pro Stock final. In all 12 Pro Stock races this season, either Line or Anderson won the title. It was the seventh win of the year for Line, who has 1,389 points while Anderson has collected five wins and 1,274 points.

The last driver to clinch a spot this

early was Tony Schumacher in Top Fuel in 2008.

But while the top two spots in Pro Stock seem to be well in hand with six races remaining before the Countdown, there’s plenty of drama left in that division as to who will join them as the 10 drivers who advance.

And in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock Motorcycles, things are pretty wide open.

In Top Fuel, Doug Kalitta leads defending national champion Antron Brown 1,009-940 for first place. Steve Torrence (846), Brittany Force (832) and Schumacher (729) are next, while Shawn Langdon (711) moves up to sixth after he won at Norwalk to capture his second straight win. Kalitta leads the division with three victories, while Brown, Torrence, Force and Langdon have two apiece.

Schumacher, the eight-time world champion in Top Fuel who won at Joliet last year and is seeking a record-sixth title in the event, is still

looking for his first victory of the season.

Ron Capps won the Funny Car title at Norwalk, his fourth of the season, to boost his lead to 966-836 over Courtney Force for first place in that division. Jack Beckman (823), Del Worsham (762), Tommy Johnson (750) and Matt Hagan (747) are next-best. Johnson is the defending champion in the event, while Worsham won last year’s national championship.

In Pro Stock Motorcycle, Eddie Krawiec won his third race of the year after beating teammate and two-time defending national champ Andrew Hines in the Norwalk finals.

Krawiec (557) owns a sizable lead over Hines (391), Gerald Savoie (391), Angelle Sampey (372), Chip Ellis (300) and Hector Arana Jr. (291) in the division. Arana will be going after his third straight title at Route 66.

Other points leaders in Pro Stock include Bo Butner (796), Allen John-

Blackmon, Central’s point guard last season, recognizes the benefits of summer games.

“We’re working on coming together as a team because last year most of our team graduated,’’ Blackmon said. “It’s a building process, coming together, trying to get to know one another.’’

Senior Jomare McNair is the only other player on the varsity roster who saw playing time last season.

“Last year’s team was really good,’’ Grubbs said. “I learned a lot of things from those guys that I can pass on to the younger guys coming up.’’

Thompson liked what he saw from Central last season. He doesn’t plan to re-invent the coaching wheel in his new job.

“I thought Central played great team ball last year,’’ he said. “I really just want to feed off of that.’’

Qualifying at Route 66 runs July 8 and 9 along with three rounds of eliminations July 10 leading up to finals in the four divisions, which are scheduled to begin about 3:30 p.m.

After next weekend’s competition, the NHRA has five more stops before the Countdown begins. The playoff field will be set after the Chevrolet Performance U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis on Sept. 5.

The first event in the six-race countdown is Sept. 16-18 at Charlotte, North Carolina, and the season concludes with the Auto Club NHRA Finals from Nov. 10-13 at Pomona, California.

• JOLIET CENTRAL

Continued from page 23 Thompson was the sophomore coach last season at Joliet West after 16 years as varsity coach at Lockport.

“It was great that Nick (DiForti) gave me an opportunity to remain coaching,’’ Thompson said. “I wanted to keep coaching. Him giving me the opportunity to keep coaching, whatever level it may be, I appreciated that.

“I didn’t plan on stopping coaching. This opening, if I didn’t get the job, I still would have been back coaching for Nick (at West). As long as I’m coaching, I’m happy.’’

Joliet Central and Joliet West are moving from the SouthWest Suburban Blue to the Southwest Prairie Conference. Thompson doesn’t believe that means easier competition for the Joliet schools.

“Some people may think the SouthWest Suburban Blue is better or tougher,’’ Thompson said. “It’s basketball. It’s equal, I think, because a lot of teams in the Southwest Prairie are athletic. Maybe they have a few more athletes, more skill level in the Blue, but you don’t know.’’

Central has a senior standout of its own in the 6-foot-3 Grubbs, who scored 13 points in the Class 4A Lincoln-Way Central Regional title game win over the host Knights.

“Remembering that feeling, winning it, it makes you hungry,’’ Grubbs said. “You want to do it again, raise the plaque at the end of the night. This

WRESTLING

By CURT HERRON

• Thursday, June 30, 2016

After winning the last three USA Wrestling Cadet National Duals Freestyle Championships, Team Illinois definitely was on the ropes in its recent title meet against Pennsylvania.

Claiming victories in three of the first four matches at the event in York, Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvanians maintained a lead through the initial 10 matches and were still up 3432 with only two matches remaining.

But with the chips down, two Illinois athletes stepped up to record victories by technical fall, including one from Lockport, and that helped assure the fourth straight title.

After Will Lewan, the USA Wrestling athlete of the week, recorded a 10-0 win at 138 pounds, Illinois went ahead 36-34 with Lockport’s Baylor Fernandes competing at 145 pounds.

Going up against Alec Sampson, Fernandes used an early four-point move and then added a takedown, a turn and another takedown to secure a 10-0 victory, and help his team to a 40-34 win. He won all of his matches by first-period technical fall.

As a result of his seventh win in seven tries in the competition, Fernandes was one of seven Illinois athletes to post perfect records and make the all-tournament team.

Team Illinois was coached by Lockport coach Josh Oster, former Porter standout and Northwestern’s Jameson Oster and Kerry Boumans from the Overtime School of Wrestling.

“Everyone was putting in the time and effort and was performing, and that was good to see,” Josh Oster said.

“Last year we had an old team, so this year we had a younger team. Before Team Illinois won in Greco-Roman last year, no teams had ever won four titles in a row in any age groups or styles.”

Only four athletes returned from last year’s Team Illinois champions.

They were Fernandes, Lewan, Christian Goin and Danny Braunagel. Also representing Lockport on the Cadet freestyle team were Ronald Tucker Jr., Yousif Salah and James Pierandozzi.

Additionally in the finals, Tucker (285) won his match by technical fall over Pennsylvania’s Cody Williams, while Providence’s Jacob Lindsey (113) lost by fall to JJ Wilson.

Team Illinois also took third place in the Cadet Greco-Roman tournament. Anthony Molton, Tucker, Salah and Pierandozzi were members of that squad. Tucker was one of four Illinois athletes to make that all-tour-

Despite getting a fall from Tucker, Illinois saw its title streak snapped with a 45-30 loss to Pennsylvania Blue. Then in the third-place dual with Michigan Red, Tucker won a decision as Illinois won 12 of 17 matches for a 60-17 victory.

Several athletes from Lockport also competed at the USA Wrestling Junior National Duals in both Greco-Roman and Freestyle this past weekend in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Thanks to their help, Team Illinois was able to capture second-place finishes in both styles.

In the Freestyle finals, Illinois won four of the first six matches to take a 16-10 lead over Ohio. But the Ohioans won six of the last nine matches to

capture a 37-27 victory.

Shayne Oster (152) and Austin O’Connor (160) were among the early winners for Team Illinois, while Matt Ramos (100) dropped a decision later in the meet with Ohio.

In Oster’s match, he fell behind, 9-0, in the first period and was one point away from losing by technical fall to Davey Tunon. But the future Northwestern athlete not only rallied to get the win, he went on a 21-1 run to claim a 21-10 decision by technical fall.

Oster went 5-2 in the Freestyle competition, going 2-2 at 152. He won consecutive matches over Fargo national champs, Florida’s Anthony Artalona and Pennsylvania’s Sammy Sasso.

Both Molton and Ramos are Cadets but were asked to be on the Junior

team. Molton went 2-4 at 106 with the Junior Greco team, one week after going 3-1 in Cadet Greco. Molton lost 4-4 by criteria in the Greco finals, which Illinois lost to Minnesota, 4221. Ramos went 5-2 in both styles, going 2-1 in Greco and 3-1 in Freestyle.

O’Connor, the three-time state champion from St. Rita who lives in Lockport, went 6-0 at 152 in Greco-Roman to become the only Illinois athlete on that all-tournament team. He capped his performance by winning by technical fall in the finals with Minnesota.

The next big event on the calender takes place in the middle of July when a large number of athletes from the area will take part in the Asics/ Vaughan Cadet and Junior National Championships at Fargo, North Dakota.

MLB

Slammers hang on against River City SUBMITTED REPORTS

O’FALLON, Mo. – One night after scoring only one run on five hits in a 2-1 loss at River City, the Joliet Slammers hoped to generate much more offense in Wednesday’s middle game of the series.

That certainly happened as Joliet collected 15 hits and used a six-run fifth inning that was highlighted by three home runs to help them to a 9-8 Frontier League win over the Rascals.

After both squads scored a pair of runs in the first, River City went up 3-2 in the second and 4-3 in the third. But manager Jeff Isom’s Slammers (24-17) moved in front for good in the fifth.

with a 2.23 ERA, the fourth-best in the league, had his roughest outing of the year, allowing seven runs and 13 hits while striking out just one in five innings. But thanks to the offensive production, he was able to improve to 5-0 on the season.

In the first, Rock Shoulders (2 for 4) drove in a run with a grounder and Marc Flores (4 for 5, five RBI) added an RBI with a ground rule double and then two innings later, Flores singled in another run.

Joliet moved ahead in the fifth inning thanks to three long balls. Phil Bates hit a solo homer, Flores smacked a three-run shot and Jake Gronsky belted a two-run smash. Flores’ five RBI

allowed him to move to 38 RBI on the season, which is one behind the leader, former teammate Boo Vazquez.

Jason Merjano (2 for 4, four RBI) hit a three-run shot in the sixth to knock O’Sullivan out of the game. The Joliet starter had not allowed more than three earned runs in any of his previous seven starts.

Tyler Levine pitched 21/3 hitless innings and struck out two after relieving O’Sullivan before Brent Choban finished up. Charlie White (3 for 5) and Alfredo Rodriguez (2 for 4) also had multiple hits for the Slammers, who faced eight pitchers. With the victory, Joliet moves two games ahead of Windy City for the East Division lead.

CUBS 9, REDS 2

Rizzo legs out inside-the-park HR, Cubs sweep Reds

By JOE KAY

The Associated Press CINCINNATI – Anthony Rizzo saw the ball ricochet across the outfield and kicked his legs into high gear, deciding he was going to try to touch ‘em all. His sides were aching by the time he slid safely into home plate.

Rizzo legged out his first insidethe-park homer on Wednesday – a fitting final touch to a series full of unusual moments – and the Cubs beat the Cincinnati Reds, 9-2, for a three-game sweep that put them back on solid footing after a rough stretch.

“They were on top of it, man, after a long one last night,” Chicago starter Kyle Hendricks said.

The Cubs went 1-6 last week, hurt by an injury-depleted lineup and a balky bullpen. With thousands of Cubs fans in the stands at Great American Ball Park for each game, they pulled off an invigorating sweep.

The NL Central leaders won the opener 11-8 as Kris Bryant became the first major leaguer with three homers and two doubles in a game.

They won, 7-2, in 15 innings Tuesday night in a game that featured Javier Baez’s grand slam and three relievers playing left field alternately.

Manager Joe Maddon went with a lot of his young backups after the long night. They piled up a dozen hits and made impressive plays all over the field.

“A bunch of babies played in that game today,” Maddon said.

“They were inexperienced, they were young, and they came out and played hard and played well.”

There was more wackiness, too.

Rizzo drove in three runs in the first inning off left-hander Cody Reed (0-2) with the Cubs’ first inside-the-park homer since 2011, when Tony Campana circled the bases against Cincinnati. Left fielder Adam Duvall cut in front of center fielder Billy Hamilton but couldn’t get to the ball, which deflected off Hamilton’s cheek.

Rizzo couldn’t remember the last time he circled the bases that way.

“Maybe Little League?” He said. “Nothing like that. I’ll take it.”

WHITE SOX 9, TWINS 6

Shields gets the win as White Sox beat Twins

By JAY COHEN

The Associated Press CHICAGO – James Shields broke out of a slump with 62/3 innings against one of baseball’s worst lineups, helping the White Sox beat the Minnesota Twins, 9-6, on Wednesday night.

Shields (3-9) allowed one run and eight hits in his first win since he tossed seven scoreless innings for San Diego at Milwaukee on May 12.

The right-hander got hit hard after he was acquired by the Sox in a

trade June 4, going 0-2 with a 15.80 ERA in his first four starts.

Todd Frazier, Brett Lawrie and Tyler Saladino homered for the White Sox, who improved to 7-1 against the Twins after losing, 4-0, in the series opener on Tuesday.

Saladino and Tim Anderson each had two hits and two RBIs. The Sox carried a 9-1 lead into the ninth, but Max Kepler’s two-run double got Minnesota within three with two out. Nate Jones then came in with runners on second and third and retired Eduardo Escobar on a

fly ball to left for his second save.

Eduardo Nunez homered on Shields’ second pitch of the game, but it was a mostly frustrating night for Minnesota at the plate. The Twins, who rank near the bottom of the majors in several offensive categories, went 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on base. Nunez finished with three hits and Brian Dozier extended his hitting streak to 11 games with a double in the sixth. Dozier also has at least one extra-base hit in a franchise-record 10 straight games.

With new members Joliet Central and Joliet West on board, the Southwest Prairie Conference football schedule will feature a nine-game round robin this fall. No room for any nonconference games.

After the departure of the Joliet schools, the SouthWest Suburban has removed the Blue and Red designations and is listed as one 13-team conference, with most schools having six or seven of the other 12 conference members on the schedule.

The IHSA, on its ihsa.org web site, has posted the football schedules for all school around the state. The revamped Southwest Prairie and SouthWest Suburban conferences put a fresh spin on things as we count down to the Friday, Aug. 26 season kickoff.

In the Southwest Prairie, which in the past had played all its games on Friday nights except for the traditional Plainfield Central homecoming game on Saturday afternoon, Joliet Central and West are improving their schedules to the point where they have three Friday home games and only two Saturday afternoon home games each.

However, West will be the opponent for the Saturday, Oct. 1 Plainfield Central homecoming game and also will visit Joliet Central on Saturday, Oct 15, so the Tigers still will play four Saturday games.

The anticipated matchup between the two schools on multi-year losing streaks, Plainfield Central and Joliet Central, will happen in Week 4, on Saturday, Sept. 17 at Joliet Central.

Plainfield East, incidentally, will open Aug. 26 at Joliet Central and will be home against Plainfield Central the next week.

Plainfield Central, under new coach Jon Pereiro, will play its first three games against district rivals, traveling to Plainfield North and

VIEWS Dick Goss Plainfield East before hosting Plainfield South in Week 3.

Minooka will travel to face both Joliet schools – at Central in Week 2 and at West in Week 7 – while Romeoville has the opposite situation. The Spartans will host West in Week 4 and Central in Week 9.

Regardless of which games come up when on the schedule, it will be interesting to see how competitive the Joliet schools will be in their new league. Fans of the Tigers and Steelmen are hoping results will be better with Lincoln-Way East, Bolingbrook, Homewood-Flossmoor and Sandburg among those off the schedule.

Meanwhile, in the SouthWest Suburban, where those four perennial powers reside, the strength of schedules are difficult to assess at this time.

LIncoln-Way Central may have a favorable schedule. The Knights will be home against Lockport in Week 3 and at Bolingbrook in Week 7 but will not play Lincoln-Way West or Lincoln-Way East.

Defending Class 5A state runnerup Lincoln-Way West will play at Lockport on Week 7 but will not see Bolingbrook or Lincoln-Way East.

Lockport, on the other hand, will face all the area schools. In addition to visiting Lincoln-Way Central in Week 3, the Porters will be home against Bolingbrook on Week 6, host Lincoln-Way West on Week 7 and visit Lincoln-Way East in Week 9.

A favorite annual matchup will take place in Week 4 as Lincoln-Way East visits Bolingbrook.

MEN’S BASKETBALL Lewis’s Jackson signs pro contract:

Former Lewis University men’s basketball standout Ryan Jackson has signed a professional contract with

France’s Brissac Aubance Basket of the Nationale Masculine 2 League.

Jackson is the fifth Flyer to sign a professional contract under the guidance of 11th year head men’s basketball coach Scott Trost, joining Stephen Bolt, Brandon Dagans, Chris McClellan and Julian Lewis.

Jackson started all 113 games that he appeared in during his career and finished with 1,742 career points, which is the fifth-best in school history. He also ranks in Lewis’ Top 10 in career statistics for free throws made (2nd, 522) and field goals made (6th, 552).

“I am excited and pleased to take on this new challenge and opportunity that I was provided with through [Brissac Aubance Basket] and my agency AK Sports,” Jackson said.

“It’s a great feeling to be able to get a chance to play again at a highly competitive level and be paid meaningful money as well.

“I am thankful for my God, my parents and my family who supported me and helped my keep my faith that my opportunity would come,” Jackson continued. “I could not be happier and I am eager to start my professional career.”

Continued from page 27 What will be interesting is how good the Lincoln-Way schools wind up being. With the closing of Lincoln-Way North and the shuffling of students, there are two schools of thought.

The first is that a district already rich in football talent will be that much stronger. When you take students from four schools and merge them all into three, that should be the case.

The other thought is that chemistry is a big deal. The coaching staffs at the three schools face the task of getting good football players to work well with other good players who were not their teammates previously. That is easier said than done.

Considering the talent of the kids and the coaching staffs at the three Lincoln-Way schools, I have a feeling all three will wind up in the playoffs and capable of making a good run. We shall see.

New leadership witnessing to Christ in changing world

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

JOLIET – “Here we go, Lord, you and I together. I’ll do my best, but remember: I’m depending on your help.”

It’s a favorite prayer of Sister Delores Zemont, president of the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate in Joliet. The prayer also echoes in the hearts of five of the sisters installed June 25 as the congregation’s new governing board.

These sisters are Sister Dolores Zemont, president; Sister Rosemary Fonck, councilor and vice president; Sister Mary Jane Griffin, councilor and treasurer; Sister Barbara Kwiatkowski, councilor; and Sister Lourdes Boyer, general secretary. They were previously elected for the 2016 to 2020 term April 3 during the sisters’ general chapter meeting.

In the order’s 2016 directional statement, the sisters committed to “recognizing and confronting all forms of violence and injustice, such as racism, oppression of women and girls, human trafficking and hostility toward refugees and immigrants,” to minister to people of all ages as Christ would and to be “generous stewards and witnesses for peace.”

It’s a tremendous commitment in a changing world.

Part of the sisters’ prayerful discernment, they agreed, will be deciding the best means to implement that commitment over the next four years, especially in light of a dwindling and aging membership.

Meet the sisters leading the way.

Sister Dolores Zemont, president

Zemont entered the congregation in 1979. She has a bachelor’s in English from the University of Illinois in Chicago and a master’s in administration from the University of Notre Dame du Lac. She has served as: director of campus ministry for the University of St. Francis in Joliet, director of the associate program for the congregation and pastoral associate for St. Mary Parish in Mokena.

In 2012, Zemont became president of the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate.

Zemont “absolutely loved” campus ministry and parish work. She said helping people grow in their faith and direction in their lives was extremely fulfilling. This was especially true in

Zemont’s work with college students.

But as much as Zemont felt those ministries shaped her, she still felt overwhelmed when she first became president four years ago. But Zemont feels she has grown spiritually and in leadership abilities.

“It’s very stretching,” Zemont said.

“Nobody can explain to you what it’s like to be in charge until you sit behind the desk.”

Sister Rosemary Fonck, councilor and vice president

Fonck entered the congregation in 1966. She has a bachelor’s in sociology from the former College of St. Francis in Joliet. She also has a master’s in administration and supervision from Samford University and a master’s in religious studies from Loyola University in New Orleans.

She taught primary grades at St. Raymond School in Joliet and first grade at Annunciation school in Aurora. Fonck also served as a principal and teacher at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Fairfield, Alabama; a teacher at the former St. Francis Academy in Joliet;

a teacher and principal at St. Mary’s School in Sterling; and a principal at Sacred Heart school in Effingham.

Fonck then served as councilor for the sisters and teacher at St. Jude School in Joliet, president for the sisters and director for the Good Shepherd Catholic Ministry Center in Hayneville, Alabama.

When Fonck first left for Good Shepherd, she had no thought of coming back. Fonck loved her work: feeding hundreds of families every day, working with seniors and ministering to people “who had a deep relationship with God” despite their lack of material possessions.

But Fonck also saw returning to leadership as part of the vows she had taken – poverty, chastity and obedience – when she became a sister.

“I looked at this as one part of obedience,” Fonck said, “and put it in [God’s] hands.”

Sister Mary Jane Griffin, councilor and treasurer

Griffin entered the congregation in 1978. She has a bachelor’s in math-

ematics from Saint Mary’s College in Notre Dame. She also has a master’s in administration as well as a master’s in divinity from the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Before entering the congregation and becoming a graduate student, Griffin was a math teacher at Marillac High School in Northbrook.

After entering, Griffin served in parish ministry at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel in Chicago, was director of religious education in South Bend and was rector and adjunct writing instructor at the University of Notre Dame du Lac. Griffin also served as mediator for the Neighborhood Mediation Project in South Bend; consultant for Reid and Associates in Oak Park; and novice director for the Sisters of St. Francis in Joliet.

Since that time, Griffin has served as general treasurer for the congregation.

Like Fonck, leadership was never part of Griffin’s ministry plans. But Griffin feels that opening up her heart to God and to the sisters she loves took her down new paths.

Rev. Homero Sánchez Gómez blesses the horses and riders on June 11 at the Will County Trailriders’ first horse blessing ceremony.

June 11. Nine people and their horses attended, Bochenek said.

More had planned to attend the free 25-minute service at The Forest Pre-

serve District of Will County’s Hadley Valley - Gougar Road Access, but by 10:30 a.m. it was already 90 degrees, Bochenek said.

“So we took a picture of those horses and father blessed them, even though those horses were in the picture frames,” Bochenek said. Gomez also said a blessing prayer for the horses that had passed on.

The horses, however, didn’t appear to mind the heat.

“The horses were fine,” Bochenek.

“They were still. They were calm when he gave the blessing. It went really well.”

Bochenek said about 95 people belong to the Will Country Trail Riders.

The group hosts two rides a month and participates in four parades a year, but Bochenek said he is always looking out for other fun events, too.

Ironically, Bochenek doesn’t ride.

“I used to ride,” Bochenek said.

“The reason why we joined is because my wife got a horse.”

• NEW LEADERSHIP

Continued from page 29 That said, stewardship of the material resources is – at times – a daunting task.

“This opportunity to serve as treasurer has allowed me to know so many people in Joliet through that service,” Griffin said. “I’m very happy to have had that experience.”

Sister Barbara Kwiatkowski, councilor

Kwiatkowski entered the congregation in 1978. She has a bachelor’s in music from the former College of St. Francis in Joliet and a master’s in educational administration from Dominican University in River Forest.

She served as a religion teacher for the former Joliet Catholic High School, a religion teacher and dean of students at the former St. Francis Academy in Joliet, a teacher and dean of students at Providence Catholic High School in New Lenox, and assistant principal at St. Martin de Porres Academy in Chicago.

Kwiatkowski then served in pastoral ministry in Goiania, Brazil; administrative development and public relations at St. Rita High School in Chicago; as dean of students at Fenwick High School in Oak Park; in campus ministry at Joliet Catholic Academy; as vocation minister and director of initial formation for the sisters; and then went back to JCA as campus minister.

Like her sisters, Kwiatkowski loved her previous ministries, especially this last one. Kwiatkowski said JCA has a

In her new role, Kwiatkowski will be responsible for the spiritual aspect of the congregation – such as organizing prayer services and retreats.

“I like to be where I can do the most good,” Kwiatkowski. “I felt I really needed to listen to the call of my sisters [to leadership].”

Sister Lourdes Boyer, general secretary

Boyer entered the congregation in 1957. She has a bachelor’s in mathematics from the former College of St. Fran-

cis in Joliet and a master’s in education (mathematics curriculum) from the University of Toledo.

She was a fourth- and fifth-grade teacher and a parish organist for St. Rita of Cascia in Aurora; a fifth- and sixth-grade teacher and parish organist for St. Cecilia in New Rome in Ohio; a junior high math and music teacher and parish organist for St. Michael in Worthington, Ohio, and a math and music teacher for grades five to eight and parish organist for Immaculate Conception in Toledo, Ohio.

From there, Boyer became an in-

structor and PLATO Computer Center director for the former College of St. Francis in Joliet. She then became the general secretary for the sisters, the finance director for St. Paul the Apostle Parish in Joliet and the sisters’ coordinator at Our Lady of Angels Retirement Home in Joliet.

In 2008, Boyer again became the general secretary to the sisters. In all her various ministries, Boyer always saw Christ in each person to whom she ministered. In that, Boyer feels most blessed.

“With everyone I meet, I get a personal relationship with God,” Boyer said.

JOLIET – As president of the Will Country Trail Riders, Bruce Bochenek wanted to promote safety at the beginning of the ride season.

So why not a horse blessing?

Bochenek said he called a number of number of non-denominational churches but couldn’t find a minister available to perform the blessing.

So Bochenek called St. Jude Catholic Church in New Lenox and told the operator what he needed.

“She immediately said, ‘There’s a Father here that would love to do this,’” Bochenek said.

That priest was Rev. Homero Sánchez Gómez, an associate pastor at St. Jude. Bochenek said Gomez agreed to do it, but on one condition.

“He had to do this blessing on horseback,” Bochenek said.

Bochenek said Gomez had ridden in Mexico. So the Will Country Trail Riders provided Gomez with a horse.

Gomez performed the blessings on

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff treatments for this condition. These cardiology subspecialists are on top of the latest treatments.

You also can check the websites of well-established health care institutions near your home. They can help you to identify doctors with expertise for your particular issue. In addition, many major academic medical centers have specialized clinics.

If you do see a cardiologist, make sure he or she is board-certified in cardiovascular disease with the American Board of Internal Medicine. The American Board of Thoracic Surgery certifies cardiovascular surgeons.

There has been a growing trend toward shared decision-making around medical care, and many doctors support their patients’ efforts to take a more active role in their health care. So if you’re slated to undergo heart surgery or another procedure, you shouldn’t have any qualms about asking questions such as these: • How many years have you practiced in this specialty?

• How many cases have you treated that are similar to mine?

• What were the short- and long-term outcomes for those patients?

If your doctor recommends a non-emergency procedure, including some types of surgery and angioplasty, you might have time to consider your options. That might include getting a second opinion.

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

Dear Dr. K: I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure, so I know I’m at increased risk for heart disease. Should I see a cardiologist?

Dear Reader: For many people, a primary care physician (PCP) can effectively manage standard risk factors for heart disease.

Your PCP also will know when you need to see a cardiologist and can refer you to a particular one.

If you’re concerned you might benefit from seeing a cardiologist, but your PCP has not referred you to one, here are some guidelines. If you’ve already had a heart attack or you are at high risk for having a heart attack, I think you should have a cardiologist who knows you. Or say you haven’t had a heart attack, but you have cholesterol or high blood pressure that just won’t be controlled with standard treatment. If so, a cardiologist is in order.

Cardiologists have broad knowledge about the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of heart conditions. These specialists know the ins and outs of heart attacks, heart rhythm disorders, heart valve problems and blood vessel disorders.

The increasing pace of medical knowledge and technology has led to subspecialists among cardiologists. For example, some cardiologists focus on treating and preventing heart attacks. Others focus on problems with heart rhythm, the commonest of which is atrial fibrillation. They can do tests to determine what is causing abnormal heart rhythms and perform electrical treatments to correct them.

Then there are the interventional cardiologists. These are specialists who can diagnose blocked arteries and treat them immediately with an angioplasty and stent.

Finally, there are cardiologists who specialize in treating people with heart failure. These days, there are many new

Your brother needs to work out his difficulties himself. A family meeting – including your husband – might clear the air so all of you are on the same page. Your brother needs to understand why the financial help he seems to expect is unrealistic and will not be forthcoming.

S E C K O N N E D E S S A I R M A P T O G A

My brother, “Chris,” is going through a divorce and lost his business. He now is lashing out at our mom and me when she spends time with me.

When I tried to express my sympathy, Chris attacked me via direct message, saying I have a “charmed life and don’t care about anyone – including him and our cashstrapped parents.”

It started when Dad gave me a car he wasn’t using before we learned about my brother’s misfortune. When I tried to return it, Dad refused.

Because I stopped responding to him on the internet, Chris now is complaining to Mom about my “selfishness.” He says if the situation was reversed, he would have moved heaven and Earth to help me.

Abby, Chris has a job. He lives with our folks and pays token rent. My husband and I work, but I have had a salary cut, we have two kids to support and a mortgage to pay.

We’re in no position to provide the financial assistance my brother expects. My parents suspect he’s still giving money to his soonto-be ex.

My husband says Chris is trying to manipulate me and I need to go on with my life, but I’m worried the longer this goes on, the harder it will be to heal the rift.

I’m also worried about how this is affecting our parents. – Grieving In Nicosia,

Bennett Cerf, one of the founders of Random House, said, “Middle age is when your old classmates are so gray and wrinkled and bald that they don’t recognize you.”

One reason bridge experts make fewer mistakes than other players is recognition. They recognize situations and know the right bid or play to make almost subconsciously.

Both South and East can make expert plays in this deal. South reaches four hearts, and West leads the club king to declarer’s ace. What might happen after that?

Three diamonds was a help-suit game-try, which North accepted with all of his points in the red suits.

Declarer, at trick two, ran the heart 10. East realized that there was scant chance to defeat the contract, given that he had the diamond king presumably sitting under South’s ace.

So, East tried a ruse. He won with his heart ace and shifted to the diamond three.

Now move into declarer’s seat.

What if this shift was a singleton?

Then, to take a losing finesse would cost the contract because the defenders would take the heart ace, the diamond king, a diamond ruff and the club queen. But with West “clearly” having the heart queen, it was “safe” to win with the diamond ace and repeat the heart finesse.

Imagine South’s shock when East produced the heart queen, cashed the diamond king, and led a club to West’s queen for down one.

A more skillful South would have led a low heart to dummy’s jack, not run the 10. Then East could not have afforded to win with the ace for fear that West had started with 10-doubleton.
