Ready to celebrate the Fourth My earliest memories about the Fourth of July are sitting on a blanket with my family on the athletic fields at Oak Park River Forest High School in my hometown and watching the fireworks explode in the sky overhead.

I remember them being loud and covering my ears, but being unable to take my eyes off the dazzling bright red, white and blue lights shimmering above.

As the years went by, I went with friends instead of family. I’m mortified to recall one year (pretty sure we were in college) where we were being loud (and probably obnoxious), and when we got up to move, some nearby families with children applauded. That same group of people I was with would now more likely identify with the clapping adults.

Ah, perspective.

My favorite recent Fourth was in 2014, shortly after I moved to Joliet, when I had some close friends over. We ate, we listened to music and we roasted

marshmallows over the grill to make s’mores. Nothing fancy; it was a casual day to just enjoy each other’s company.

That day embodied what I like best about the Fourth of July. It’s a day to gather with those you love, and celebrate the blessing of living in this country.

It’s easy – especially during an election year, when politicians do their best to point out what is wrong – to forget all that is right in the United States.

We should remember, and say a prayer of thanks.

Happy Fourth of July!

Protesters picket Grundy County Fair over elephant

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Outside the gates of the Grundy County Fair on Saturday was a small tent with an elephant.

Nosey is a roughly 7,000-pound elephant, rescued from Zimbabwe, said its owner Franciszka Liebel, who said she has owned the animal for 32 years.

“Thirty-two years ago we adopted her from Zimbabwe after all of the adults were killed,” she said Saturday. “They left the babies and someone brought them to the United States and adopted them out. We decided to do the best we can do for her. I had to do what felt right.”

As she explained how she got Nosey, a small group of people approached carrying signs protesting the use of the elephant as an attraction. The “Nosey the Elephant Needs Our Help” Facebook page alleges the elephant is “living a miserable circuit life in solitary confinement” and was captured in Zimbabwe. The page also claims, among

CORRECTIONS

In the article, “Lawmakers, Rauner OK stopgap spending deal” that was on page 4 of the Friday, July 1, 2016, edition of The Herald-News, it incorrectly quoted state Rep. Mark Batinick, R-Plainfield. The quote should have read: “It keeps us in purgatory, but keeps us out of Hell.”

The Herald-News regrets the error.

FOURTH OF JULY ATTRACTIONS Municipal leaders describe uniqueness of their hometown celebrations

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Mike and Dorothy Bruce were looking for something to do Saturday night.

The Joliet couple came across a newsletter advertising the return of the Independence Celebration at Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park, along the Des Plaines River in downtown Joliet.

“When we saw the advertisement, we thought, ‘OK, let’s see what this is about,’” Dorothy said.

The Bruces arrived at the park for an evening of live music, food and a fireworks show over the river at 9:30 p.m. The event’s return gave people the chance to see, if they choose, three consecutive nights of bright colors and loud booms of fireworks highlight the Joliet-area sky.

Rock band Hot Mess got things going at 6 p.m. with a cover of John Mel-

lencamp’s “Hurts So Good” as people filed into the park with lawn chairs and blankets. The band slowed things down with U2’s “With Or Without You” before spanning back to the 1960s with a rendition of “Runaround Sue” and other classics.

With Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk on drums, the band played about 90 minutes before clearing the stage for fellow Joliet cover band Junkyard Dawgs. “[Hot Mess] is pretty good,” Dorothy said as she sat at Frannie’s Fountain.

“We do like listening to live music.”

The Independence Celebration returned Saturday to Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park for the first time since 2011. The five-year hiatus was a result of budgetary restrictions at the city-owned park.

Deanna Opsahl, an office assistant who has been involved with the park for 20 years, said Joliet City Manager Jim Hock was a big supporter of bringing

the event back. The park’s board, along with other entities such as the city of Joliet and its police and fire departments, have helped acquire funds to bring it back to life.

The cost of Saturday’s festivities was about $10,000, plus concessions and security, Opsahl said. The park announced in June more staff and more events, and with those came higher expectations.

The Bruces wished there were more food choices than corn dogs, fries and pizza. While it wasn’t perfect, the Bruces said the event did allow them to celebrate America’s independence for three consecutive days. Mike, who served in the Air Force, said he and his wife make it a point each year to celebrate the holiday.

Many celebrations

Saturday’s festivities at Bicentennial Park were among the many held

or planned throughout Will and Grundy counties for the long Fourth of July weekend.

The city of Joliet’s fireworks show at dusk Monday stands out from displays in neighboring communities because of its sheer size and extravagance, said Mary Jaworski, a member of the Joliet July 4th Celebration Committee.

“That’s why you see thousands of people crowd into the area,” she said.

Eager fireworks-watchers often fill parking lots along Jefferson Street hours before the show starts at Joliet Memorial Stadium. You might see people sitting on the stadium grass or throwing Frisbees, or children running around with American flags.

It’s the 70th year of the show. Jaworski noted that it started a year after World War II, when local leaders decided to have a Fourth of July program.

Illinois lowered U.S. flag more than dozen times in 2015 The ASSOCIATED PRESS

a quarter of the year, including on the Fourth of July.

Among the hundreds honored were victims of extremist attacks, fallen soldiers, long-serving politicians and such celebrities as baseball legend Yogi Berra.

Those honored last year alone with a half-staff U.S. flag include five Georgia Southern University nursing students killed in a car wreck and a Downey, California, police officer shot in his car in a police parking lot in an alleged robbery attempt. Flags were lowered for a Missouri state official who was running for governor when he killed himself after a radio ad mocked his appearance, and for an Oklahoma state road worker who died helping to fill a sinkhole. One honoree was a police dog shot in Ohio.

Who gets honored, and when, can be controversial. Recent years saw

On nearly nine out of 10 days last year, one or more states were flying the American flag at half-staff to memorialize the deaths of military members, public officials, police, first responders, prominent citizens, and victims of mass killings and disasters, The Associated Press found in analyzing information requested from all 50 states and the federal government.

In Illinois, the half-staff honors included those for former Gov. Dan Walker, state Rep. Esther Golar and a number of armed forces, emergency and law enforcement personnel – including the former northern Illinois police lieutenant later found to have killed himself to cover up his embezzling.

Below are the instances when Illinois ordered the U.S. flag flown at half-staff last year on at least some government property, separate from proclamations that came from the federal government: • Feb. 12 to 14: Medora Fire Chief Kenneth Lehr, 59, who died when he was accidentally run over by a fire engine while trying to help an injured man.

• April 29 to May 3: Former Gov. Dan Walker, a Democrat who served one term in the 1970s but also almost 18 months in prison for bank fraud.

He died at 92.

• May 18 to June 3: Marine Cpl. Sara Medina, 23, from Aurora, killed in May along with five other Marines in a helicopter crash on an earthquake relief mission in Nepal.

• June 1 to 3: Air Force 2nd Lt. Harry McGuire, 24, navigator aboard a World War II bomber shot down in Italy in 1944. Remains of the Chester native were identified in 2015.

• Aug. 12 to 14: Army Air Forces 2nd Lt. Stephen Biezis, 23, from Chicago, a World War II airman shot down in 1944. His remains were identified in 2015.

• Aug. 13 to 15: Tazewell County Sheriff’s Deputy Craig Whisenand, 44, who died in car crash while on duty.

• Aug. 18 to 20: Army Air Force Staff Sgts. Ward Swalwell Jr. and Maurice Fevold, both 21 and from

The American flag is lowered to half-staff above the White House in Washington on July 21, 2015, to honor the five U.S. service members who were killed by a gunman in Chattanooga, Tenn., the week before. Nearly every day somewhere in the country, the Stars and Stripes is flying low, ordered to half-staff in one of the most significant gestures of mourning and respect. An Associated Press analysis of proclamations from 50 state governors and the federal government found flags were ordered lowered at least someplace 325 days out of 2015.

Are we overusing the tribute of flying flag at half-staff?

By JENNIFER PELTZ The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Nearly every day, somewhere in the country, the Stars and Stripes was lowered to half-staff last year in one of the most significant official gestures of mourning and respect, an Associated Press analysis found.

The centuries-old practice can be a visible, public answer to extraordinary loss, as when more than four dozen people were killed last month at a gay nightclub in Florida. But as the nation marks Independence Day on Monday, flag buffs have noted that the honor has been extended more widely over time, including to celebrities and police dogs. And some have questioned whether the country has lowered the bar on the lowering of the flag.

“It can be a very powerful symbol, but it can also be overdone to the

point that it loses its significance,” said John Hartvigsen, president of the North American Vexillological Association, a flag aficionados’ group.

“You can’t spell everything out about this in rules and regulations, because it has so much to do with emotion.”

The U.S. Flag Code allows presidents and governors to lower flags for officials, military members and certain occasions, though some states have their own broader policies. And even as some states have moved to tighten their rules, others faced criticism for withholding the tribute.

The AP’s analysis of proclamations from 50 state governors and the federal government found the Stars and Stripes were lowered at least someplace in the country on 328 days during 2015.

Eight states had orders lowering the U.S. flag in effect over more than 30 days; Massachusetts led all others, keeping the flag at half-staff for over

Joliet hiring 80 for special census

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The city of Joliet is hiring census takers as it prepares for a special count to determine whether Joliet has gained population since 2010.

Joliet has contracted with the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct the special census aimed at discovering whether population has grown on the far West Side and one new subdivision on the East Side.

The city hopes to have the new cen-

sus numbers ready by the end of the year.

Joliet will spend nearly $100,000 for the special census but hopes to collect more than $900,000 because certain federal and state revenues that come to Joliet are based on population.

Census takers, meanwhile, can earn between $11.99 and $16.49 an hour working for about 30 days once the special census begins. They will work 25 to 40 hours a week, according to a news release from the city.

Prospective applicants must be at least 18. They will have to pass a

written test of basic skills and pass a criminal background check. They also must be available to work evenings and weekends.

Joliet has been asked to recruit 80 applicants, Deputy City Manager Steve Jones said.

He noted the special census will only count certain areas where the city believes it can show there has been an increase in population from new homes being built or more people moving in.

“We have selected neighborhoods on the far West Side straddling Coun-

ty Line Road and Liberty Meadow – basically areas that have some new growth,” Jones said.

out of courtroom for talking

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Homer Glen lawyer convicted of trying to hire out his wife’s murder also tried his Clark Gable impression for a courtroom bailiff Friday.

Robert W. Gold-Smith made a brief court appearance but was tossed out before his scheduled status hearing was held before Judge Daniel Rozak.

Gold-Smith, 53, is awaiting sentencing on a solicitation of mur- Robert W. der conviction and has Gold-Smith filed several post-trial motions asking Rozak to consider new evidence in his case. Gold-Smith has previously told Rozak as “a real jailhouse lawyer” he often discusses cases with other inmates from the Will County Jail.

On Friday, Gold-Smith was seated in the jury box with other inmates when bailiff Cheryl Ferguson reminded him that talking before his case was called was a violation of the court-

room rules and he could be kicked out before his case was called.

“Throw me out, I don’t give a damn,” Gold-Smith told the bailiff.

So Ferguson did just that. GoldSmith was escorted out by a sheriff’s deputy. After visiting Judge Sarah Jones’ courtroom, where he faces a charge of witness tampering in the murder-for-hire case, Gold-Smith was brought back to Rozak’s courtroom and given a date for his next court appearance. He also apologized to Ferguson for his outburst.

Gold-Smith, a former bankruptcy attorney, approached an inmate at the Will County Jail in 2011 and offered money to kill his estranged wife, according to trial testimony. Gold-Smith was in jail for allegedly violating an order of protection after punching his wife outside a courtroom.

Gold-Smith told Rozak last month he believes the prospective hit man in his case set up another inmate in a similar case. Gold-Smith said a lawyer specializing in criminal defense may take over his case, but no other attorney had filed to appear on his behalf as of Friday, according to court records.

Bicentennial Park gets first park manager in a year

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park has a manager again, another sign of renewed activity and resources at the park.

Lori Carmine started on the job last week, nearly a year after the last park manager left. The position was left vacant as the city reviewed management and even ownership options for the park.

Carmine has been a drama instructor at the park’s indoor theater and has a long association with Bicentennial Park.

“I took my first acting class here when the park opened in 1976,” she said. “Just because of my activities and history of with this park, it has been pretty much of a dream job for a long time.”

The city, which owns Bicentennial Park, hired Carmine for the $80,000-a-year job.

She is the second new staff member in recent months as the park has re-

vived events put on in the past, including the Independence Day fireworks show taking place Sunday.

The Will-Joliet Bicentennial Park Inc. Board, which raises money for the park, in May hired Debbie Greene as development director to raise funds and pursue grants.

On July 23, the park will host River Fest, a throwback to the Waterway Daze festival that ended amid city budget cutbacks during the recession. A new Art for Every 1 exhibit is scheduled for Aug. 20. And the park board is considering the possibility of a fall festival reminiscent of the Pumpkinfest that also ended in the recession.

“This is a big year. I said I’d hit the ground running,” Carmine said. “It’s going to be a lot of fun.”

Last year, Joliet Township Supervisor Dan Vera asked the city to consider giving ownership of the park to the township, which, he said, would revive activity at the park. The idea faced some citizen opposition, and Vera eventually decided against making a formal proposal.

JOLIET – Kendall Stevens is only 9, but he’s already learning how to build and program robots at the George Werden Buck Boys & Girls Club of Joliet.

Using a tablet device as a control system, Kendall is able to make a handsized robot with two wheels move around. He’s made the robot move in a square and his next task Friday was figuring out how to make it park.

Stevens is part of a group of children at the Joliet agency who are learning about design, engineering and programming using LEGO Mindstorm robots – all thanks to a partnership with the University of Illinois Extension.

“It’s been awesome,” said Kahlil Diab, the club’s executive director, of the program that started three weeks ago at the club. “A lot of kids are kind of butting heads trying to get in there because we can’t serve all of our kids.”

Diab said he wanted a robotics program at the club because he wanted to expose the children to things they wouldn’t normally see.

Many of the children who visit the Boys & Girls Club are foster or homeless children, he said. The club has served as a safe haven for the community since 1951 and plays a vital role for young people during the summer.

The robotics program was one of

Diab said Megan Walsh, a 4-H youth development educator for University of Illinois Extension, was willing to volunteer to teach the children how to make robots at no cost to the Boys & Girls Club.

“She’s so willing to come down here and be hands on,” Diab said.

Walsh was with a group of children Friday, showing them how to program the robots to move around in a circle.

She said the robotics program can work for children who are into building or programming or both.

“It’s been a really great thing for the kids, who learn about robots, engineering and critical thinking. They’re learning a lot of great life skills for this,” Walsh said.

Diab said that in the future he wants to focus on more partnerships

Verona man charged with DUI after crashing into car driven by Grundy County state’s attorney

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – A Verona man faces several charges after he allegedly side-swiped a car driven by Grundy County State’s Attorney Jason Helland.

Alan R. Aldrich, 56, was arrested

by Grundy County sheriff’s deputies June 29 on charges of felony aggravated driving under the influence, misdemeanor driving under the influence, driving with a revoked license, operating an uninsured motor vehicle, transportation or possession of alcoholic liquor in a motor vehicle by a driver and improper lane use.

Helland, who had his wife and child in the car, was driving east on Washington Street in Morris when Aldrich, going west on Washington Street, allegedly drove into the east-

bound lane, crashing the side of his car into the back driver’s side of the car driven by Helland, Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan said.

Callahan said the police report on the incident states that a passenger in Aldrich’s car fled on foot, and Helland maneuvered his car to block Aldrich as he tried to turn his vehicle around.

Assistant State’s Attorney Kyle Klukas said the preliminary blood-alcohol content for Aldrich was 0.33, four times the legal limit. Aldrich also tested positive for THC, the chemical found in marijuana, Klukas said.

Aldrich has two prior DUIs and was held in the Grundy County Jail on a $200,000 bond. Ten percent, or $20,000, must be posted for his release.

He was given a July 7 court date.

A special prosecutor will be appointed to the case because of Helland’s status as the victim.

Car window shot out in Joliet after drug deal turns into armed robbery

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A drug deal last week turned into an armed robbery, which then turned into a shooting on Joliet’s West Side.

The incident occurred just before midnight Wednesday in the 1000 block of Lois Place, where a 25-yearold man met Rodney L. Williams, 23, in a park- Rodney L. ing lot to buy marijua- Williams na, Police Deputy Chief Ed Gregory said. The two knew each other and had previously been incarcerated together, Gregory said.

Williams and the victim were talking in a car, when a black man in his 30s approached the vehicle, yelled “Rob him!” and displayed a silver pistol, which Williams then took and used to steal $500 from the victim, Gregory said.

Williams exited the car, and the victim began to drive away, when Williams shot out the rear passenger win-

dow, Gregory said.

The getaway vehicle used by Williams and his accomplice was a dark four-door Chevrolet or Buick with dark tinted windows, Gregory said.

Police found a shell and small bags of marijuana at the scene, and although the victim was not initially cooperative, officers found cause for Williams’ arrest, Gregory said.

On Thursday, police set up surveillance in the 600 block of West Marion Street in Joliet, where Williams lives.

Law enforcement saw Williams exit a vehicle and walk to the porch of a residence, Gregory said, and when officers approached Williams, he ran into the home, which police surrounded.

Williams left the residence through a window and was taken into custody, Gregory said.

Williams is charged with armed robbery with a firearm, aggravated discharge of a firearm, two counts of possession or use of a firearm by a felon, being an armed habitual criminal and parole violation, according to Will County Jail records. His bond is set at $750,000.

MORRIS – Scott Stehlik, associate principal at Shabbona Middle School, tendered his resignation Thursday, effective immediately.

Stehlik, who was hired in May 2014, said he received an employment opportunity he couldn’t say no to.

“It is definitely with mixed emotions that I let you all know that I have resigned my position in the district effective today,” Stehlik said in an email sent to staff Thursday. “In the last week I have been given an opportunity that my family and I could not pass up.”

He said Friday that he has accepted a similar assistant principal position in Lombard at a middle school.

“Scott was very hardworking and was an asset to the district,” Bon-

Plainfield District 202 officials honor retirees

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield District 202 officials recently honored 64 retirees.

Of those, several attended a Tuesday board meeting to be honored in person.

They included custodians, teachers and administrators.

“All of our retirees have dedicated themselves to helping to guide, teach and support our students and families,” Tom Hernandez, district spokesman, said at the meeting. “And what they do in whatever role they had helps make District 202 the best learning community possible.”

Some of the custodians honored included Maria Ortega from Drauden Point Middle School, Adama Enyi from Plainfield North High School and William Holden from Thomas Jefferson Elementary School.

Carl Chapman, a maintenance specialist, was also honored.

“He was on call many times – 24/7 – in every kind of weather condition, responding to storm damage, sewer backups, hot buildings, cold buildings, roof leaks, broken windows, fire troubles and full fire alarms,” Hernandez said.

Robert Smith, Plainfield Central principal, was honored. Hernandez said he started with the district in 1995 and during his time enjoyed pep rallies and homecoming activities.

Another retiree honored was Mar-

cella O’Neill, a fourth-grade teacher at Walker Grove Elementary, who started with District 202 in 1997. Hernandez said she would classify her teaching career in three phases, each of which led to her growth as an educator at the district.

“The next phase of her life, she says, retirement, holds many different possibilities,” Hernandez said.

Pauline Herbst, Plainfield Central general office secretary, as well as Yvonne Taylor, district business and operations coordinator, were honored. “[Taylor is] really very passionate about everyday life, being in a continuous learning environment and sharing the rewards of knowledge, thereby never having a dull day,” Hernandez said.

Dan Thorse, assistant superintendent for administration and personnel, finished a “long and storied career” at District 202, Hernandez said. He said Thorse enjoyed leading the creation of the residency program and automated substitute system during periods of growth for the district.

Lane Abrell, the district’s superintendent, gave a special nod to Jack Markley, outgoing assistant superintendent for business and operations.

Abrell said Markley is retired, but he chose to come back and help the district in its business and operations department.

“He did a tour of duty about four years before that with us. So thank you, Dr. Markley, for all your time and help,” Abrell said.

Will County Circuit Court has expanded e-filing options SHAW MEDIA JOLIET – Will County Circuit Clerk Pam McGuire announced Friday that the 12th Judicial Circuit Court has received approval from the Illinois Supreme Court’s Administrative Office and as of July will accept all civil filings electronically.

“We are excited to extend to those that utilize our office the option to electronically file court documents from the convenience of one’s home office or mobile device,” McGuire said in a news release. “e-Filing work stations will also be installed on the second floor of the main courthouse in the Circuit Clerk’s Office. This is just one of the many electronic initiatives we are in the process of putting in place to allow easier access to individuals that need to conduct business with the Will

County Court.”

Chief Judge Richard C. Schoenstedt said in the news release that the move means the clerk’s office remains at “the forefront in making full use of technology as it relates to the creation, storage and security of all court files. This will only continue to improve necessary judicial services.”

McGuire noted that filings can be done 24 hours a day now; she noted, however, that documents received by her office before midnight on a day the courthouse is open shall be deemed filed that day. Anything filed on a day the courthouse is not open for business will be deemed filed the next business day, according to the news release.

For guidance, visit www.circuitclerkofwillcounty.com or www.i2file. net by searching Section 18.0 of the Will County Local Court Rules.

**As As of May 22, 2016, the interest rate on the Premier Savings Account is 0.25% with a 0.25% Annual Percentage Yield (APY). Minimum balance to open account is $100.00. Minimum balance required to earn the stated rate is $500.00. Balances between $100.00 and $499.99 will earn the regular savings interest rate, currently 0.10% with a 0.10% APY. Balances below $100 will not earn interest. If the account balance falls below the minimum balance of $500.00, the account will be charged a $5.00 monthly maintenance fee.

Fireworks are scheduled for the following days, times and places in Will and Grundy counties this weekend in honor of the Fourth of July. This list includes start times for fireworks, but not any events preceding those.

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

• CELEBRATION

Continued from page 3

Since then, different segments of the community have led the event planning. The event is funded completely

by Joliet businesses, at a cost of about $31,000 this year.

“They all step up to make sure we have this every year,” Jaworski said.

“We don’t have to pick up the phone and ask for donations.”

To the northwest, Plainfield is celebrating the 50th anniversary of its area park district with special events throughout the year, and the Patriotic Picnic and Fireworks show from 6 to 9 p.m. Sunday is no different. A portion of snow cone sales at the event will benefit the Friends of Plainfield Park

District Foundation.

Plainfield Central High School will host a bike parade for which children decorate their own bikes, as well as big trike races, inflatables, a play zone, military organizations, face painting, touch-a-truck, dance performances and the Little Obie Train.

But what makes Plainfield’s celebration stand out, district Director of Recreation Cheryl Chrisman said, is the view from the school.

“I don’t think you can get a better view anywhere,” Chrisman said. “The fireworks are launched from just under a half-mile away. You have a direct, unobstructed view of the launching site.”

To the south of Joliet, perhaps the most different of the area celebrations lies in the Three Rivers region. Chan-

nahon offers starting 5:30 p.m. Monday a reptile petting zoo, a dunk tank and freedom parade around Community Park. Children bring bikes, scooters and wagons, and then follow the police department around the park. All children get a red, white and blue beach ball after the parade.

Channahon Park District Program Director Nicole Vaira said petting zoo company Wild Times Exotics is bringing 10 to 12 types of tarantulas, snakes and iguanas. This is different from past years when a traditional petting zoo was featured.

But when everything wraps up late Monday evening, no matter what attractions are offered, many residents throughout the area will be celebrating the 240th anniversary of American independence under a brilliantly lit sky.

The versatility of Main Beach in Crystal Lake offers something for everyone.

Beach offers boat rentals. Paddle boats, sailboats, rowboats, canoes, kayaks and stand-up paddle boards all are available for an hourly fee ranging from $8 to $12.

As for the beach itself, there are two sectioned swim regions, one 3 feet in depth and the other 5 feet in depth.

These areas also feature two splash pads to play on as well as a water slide.

There is a concession stand on-site, and guests may refuel at one of the many picnic tables. Also available are porch swings overlooking the waterfront for those wanting to relax and unwind.

FARNSWORTH HOUSE

14520 River Road, Plano. The Visitor Center is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tuesdays through Sundays. Cost is $20 for guided tours, plus $2.50 online convenience fee; and moonlight tours are $30. For information, call 630-552-0052.

Located just south of Plano, the Farnsworth House has been an attraction for architecture students and lovers of modern art since its construction in 1951.

Famed modernist architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe designed and built the stark, glass box residence for Dr. Edith Farnsworth as a country retreat overlooking the Fox River and Silver Springs State Park.

Van der Rohe, who died in 1969, is regarded as one of the pioneers of 20th century modern architecture. In addition to the Farnsworth Home, his credits include the IBM Plaza, four high-rise residences on Lake Shore Drive and several buildings on the Illinois Institute of Technology campus.

Like the Farnsworth Home, all of those Chicago buildings featured simple, stark industrial steel and plate glass that encase their interior spaces.

The Farnsworth House was designated a National Historic Landmark in 2006, two years after being named to the National Register of Historic Places.

The house is owned and operated by the National Trust for Historic Preservation.

The Illinois and Michigan Canal in 1848 connected the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River – therefore, connecting New York to the Gulf of Mexico.

The “water highway” ran 96 miles from the Chicago River in Bridgeport to the Illinois River at LaSalle-Peru and allowed people and goods to travel in a timely manner.

The canal was replaced in 1933 by the Illinois Waterway; the I &M Canal was designated in 1965 as a National Historic Landmark, and the state created in 1975 the I&M Canal State Trail along the original towpath.

Today, visitors can visit the canal towns, where they can take in museums, shop in quaint downtown areas housed in historic buildings, or take part in recreational activities such as biking and boating.

Lockport, which was the headquarters of the Canal Commissioners, is considered the town that built the canal, and is recommended by the I&M Canal National Heritage Area to be the place to go if you can make only one

by the Forest Preserve District of Kane County, is a Dutch mill that continues to draw area residents year after year – both those who casually view it from the outside, as well as those who enter the mill for tours.

The forest preserve district has owned the mill since the late 1930s, when it was purchased from relatives of Col. George Fabyan, the owner of the estate, after he died.

The mill sat in Lombard before it was moved to Geneva. It was built between 1875 and 1876 by German craftsmen Louis Backhaus and Friedrich Brockmann, according to information provided by the forest preserve district.

Over the course of 30 years, Fabyan developed an estate of more than 300 acres in Geneva, complete with Japanese gardens, a Frank Lloyd Wright villa, a private zoo, a farm and several greenhouses.

The gardens and villa still exist and are within walking distance of the mill and can be toured as well.

Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and author, dead at 87

By VERENA DOBNIK The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel, the Romanian-born Holocaust survivor whose classic “Night” became a landmark testament to the Nazis’ crimes and launched Wiesel’s long career as one of the world’s foremost witnesses and humanitarians, has died at age 87.

His death was announced Saturday

by Israel’s Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial. No other details were immediately available.

The short, sad-eyed Wiesel, his face

an ongoing reminder of one man’s endurance of a shattering past, summed up his mission in 1986 when accepting the Nobel Peace Prize: “Whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation, take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.”

President Barack Obama said of Wiesel on Saturday, “As a writer, a speaker, an activist, and a thinker, he was one of those people who changed the world more as a citizen of the world than those who hold office or traditional positions of power. His life, and the

power of his example, urges us to be better.”

For more than a half-century, Wiesel voiced his passionate beliefs to world leaders, celebrities and general audiences in the name of victims of violence and oppression. He wrote more than 40 books, but his most influential by far was “Night,” a classic ranked with Anne Frank’s diary as standard reading about the Holocaust.

“Night” was his first book, and its journey to publication crossed both time and language. It began in the mid1950s as an 800-page story in Yiddish, was trimmed to under 300 pages for

an edition released in Argentina, cut again to under 200 pages for the French market and finally published in the United States, in 1960, at just over 100 pages. “’Night’ is the most devastating account of the Holocaust that I have ever read,” wrote Ruth Franklin, a literary critic and author of “A Thousand Darknesses,” a study of Holocaust literature that was published in 2010.

“There are no epiphanies in ‘Night.

There is no extraneous detail, no analysis, no speculation. There is only a story: Eliezer’s account of what happened, spoken in his voice.”

Morrison-Knudsen.

In 1995, Chuck became the Administrator of facilities and operations for the Boise School District, where he was responsible for all district facilities including 50 school sites. He played a major role in school district facility master planning, successful passage of capital improvement programs totaling $149 million and contract administration for the building new and renovation of school facilities.

In 2006, Chuck and his wife, Barbara, retired in Sun City Summerlin, Las Vegas, where he served on the Architectural Review and Common Area Properties committees and enjoying played golf, pickle-ball, softball and sharing a naughty joke from time to time. Throughout their life together and because of their love of travel, Chuck and Barbara visited 35 foreign countries and all 50 states.

Chuck is survived by his beloved wife, Barbara; children, Kari Mirich (Rock) of Cheyenne, WY, Craig Tinder (Jenny) of Charlotte, NC, Deanne Ball (Jerry) of Seattle and Eric Oase of San Leandro, CA; grandchildren, Christopher, Heather, Cooper, Tayler, Carter, Hayley and Emily; and great-grandaughter, Cali; sister-in-law, Beverly Joutras; and niece, Cindy MacFarland of Northfield; cousins, Tom Marsh and Kelsie Marsh of Boise; and many more family members and friends.

Chuck will be greatly missed by all who knew his infectious smile, spontaneous laugh, and pure love of life.

A celebration of life gathering for family and friends will be at the Tinder residence, 2816 Crown Ridge Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89134 on Sunday, Aug. 7, 2016, from 3 to 5 p.m.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests a donation in his memory to the International Myeloma Foundation, 12650 Riverside Drive, Suite 206, North Hollywood, CA 91607.

Prayers for 4 kids killed, surviving son, and mother The gamble by Prime Minister

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – A mother killed four of her children by cutting their throats, and sheriff’s deputies found a large butcher knife with what appeared to be blood on it in an apartment where the killings took place, according to court documents filed Saturday.

Shanynthia Gardner, 29, of Memphis, has been charged with four counts of first-degree murder while committing aggravated child neglect in the deaths of her three daughters and one son – all under the age of 5.

Their bodies were found Friday after deputies entered her apartment in a gated community in unincorporated Shelby County.

Neighbors and friends of the family attended a vigil to honor the victims on Saturday.

Gardner also faces four counts of first-degree murder while committing aggravated child abuse; four counts of aggravated child neglect or endangerment; and four counts of aggravated child abuse.

Australian election close, leadership in doubt

CANBERRA, Australia – Australians awoke Sunday to a government plagued in uncertainty after a stunningly close national election failed to deliver a clear victor, raising the prospect of a

Malcolm Turnbull to call a rare early election may have failed, with his conservative Liberal Party-led coalition on track to lose a swath of seats in the House of Representatives – and potentially control of the country.

The elections continue an extraordinarily volatile period in the nation’s politics, where internal party squabbling and fears over sagging poll ratings have prompted five changes of prime minister in as many years.

After Fla. shooting, LGBT gun group membership up

SALT LAKE CITY – Memberships have more than doubled in a national LGBT pro-gun rights organization since a gunman opened fire at a gay nightclub in Florida, killing 49 people.

Pink Pistols Utah chapter President Matt Schlentz said Pink Pistols membership has grown from 1,500 to 4,000 since Omar Mateen’s June 12 rampage, the Salt Lake Tribune reported.

“It’s really sad that something on this scale had to happen for people to realize this is a need for our community,” Schlentz said. “But the reality is we still get attacked for kissing our partners or holding hands in public. ”

An ambulance transports bodies found Saturday at a restaurant popular with foreigners after heavily armed militants attacked it Friday night in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Hostage crisis leaves 28 dead in Bangladesh diplomatic zone The ASSOCIATED PRESS DHAKA, Bangladesh – The hostages were given a test: recite verses from the Quran, or be punished, a witness said. Those who passed were allowed to eat. Those who failed were tortured and slain.

The dramatic, 10-hour hostage crisis that gripped Bangladesh’s diplomatic zone ended Saturday morning with at least 28 dead, including six of the attackers, as commandos raided the popular restaurant where heavily armed attackers were holding dozens of foreigners and Bangladeshis prisoner while hurling bombs and engaging in a gunbattle with security forces. The victims included 20 hostages, mostly foreigners, and two Bangladeshi police officers.

The attack marks an escalation in militant violence that has hit the traditionally moderate Muslim-majority nation with increasing frequency in recent months, with the extremists demanding the secular government set up Islamic rule. Most previous attacks have involved machete-wielding men singling out individual activists, foreigners and religious minorities.

But Friday night’s attack was different, more coordinated, with the attackers brandishing assault rifles as they shouted “Allahu Akbar” (God is Great) and stormed the Holey Artisan Bakery in Dhaka’s Gulshan area while dozens of foreigners and Bangladeshis were dining out during the Ramadan holy month.

The gunmen, initially firing blanks, or-

dered restaurant workers to switch off the lights, and they draped black cloths over closed-circuit cameras, according to a survivor, who spoke with local TV channel ATN News. He and others, including kitchen staff, managed to escape by running to the rooftop or out the back door.

But about 35 were trapped inside, their fate depending on whether they could prove themselves to be Muslims, said the father of a Bangladeshi businessman who was rescued Saturday morning along with his family.

“The gunmen asked everyone inside to recite from the Quran,” the Islamic holy book, said Rezaul Karim, describing what his son, Hasnat, had witnessed inside. “Those who recited were spared. The gunmen even gave them meals last night.”

The others, he said, “were tortured.”

Detectives were questioning his son and his family along with other survivors as part of the investigation on Saturday, as scattered details of the siege emerged. Authorities were also interrogating one of the attackers captured by commandos in the dramatic morning rescue.

It was not immediately clear whether the attackers had a specific goal, and Bangladesh authorities would not say whether they had made any demands.

The Islamic State group claimed responsibility, saying it targeted the citizens of “Crusader countries” in the attack, warning that citizens of such countries would not be safe “as long as their warplanes kill Muslims.”

Continued from page 2 other things, that the elephant has been beaten and has a skin condition due to improper care by its owners.

The Grundy County Sheriff’s Department was called to the scene and after a brief exchange of words between the owner and patrons who were there to see the elephant and the protesters, the protesters were removed from the private property and told they would need to go elsewhere to protest.

Burdette Carter, fair board member and fair organizer, said the owners of Nosey love the animal and have all the necessary permits and inspections to be at the fair. Carter said he called the police because he didn’t want protesters on the fairgrounds.

Across from the entrance to the Grundy County Fairgrounds, the protesters joined those already staged on the highway waving signs and chanting to free Nosey.

Mark London of Lockport, who was asked to leave the fairgrounds, said he wasn’t there as a member of a particular group.

“I’m trying to spread awareness so people can start to be kind,” he said. “I want to spread awareness that this animal is enslaved for human greed.”

Liebel disagrees with that statement.

She said she isn’t getting rich taking Nosey to fairs and shows, and is trying

to provide for her family.

“Of course you have to make money.

If you don’t support yourself, you are not a proper citizen,” she said. “If you are not willing to take care of yourself, your community and your country, you don’t belong here.”

Liebel wasn’t born in the United States but said she is a proud citizen who feels she is living the American Dream.

“These groups come and protest us all over the country. They say they are nonprofit, but they make more money off my elephant than I do,” she said. “...

I was so happy I was born in this century, but now I’m living a nightmare.

They don’t tolerate my views. It’s no longer blacks or gay people; now they want to kill people with elephants. They are home-grown, home-nurtured terrorists.”

Protester Lori Hilt of Morris said she decided to picket after reading online about the elephant.

“We know that Nosey has been owned by the owners for over 30 years, but in the photos the feet are shackled to a post and she has no room to move,” Hilt said. “I don’t agree it should be in this type of environment. It needs to be in a wildlife setting.”

There was a mix of emotions from those passing by as they entered or exited the fairgrounds. Some honked and gave the thumbs up, others stuck up their middle fingers and yelled demeaning comments to the protesters.

• FLAG

Continued from page 4 tension over lowering flags nationwide for former South African President Nelson Mandela and in New Jersey for the singer Whitney Houston.

Seeing half-staff flags on July Fourth last year jarred Amherst, Massachusetts, resident Larry Kelley, who felt the tribute – part of a 13-day honor for a state senator – “sends the wrong message” on the nation’s birthday.

“It just seemed to me to take away from the whole idea of lowering the flag,” Kelley said, adding that he’d have felt differently if the state were mourning a line-of-duty death or major public trauma. He initially didn’t even realize what the occasion was, until a reader of his local-issues blog filled him in.

Concerned that lowering flags frequently muted the impact, Kentucky decided in 2008 to recognize fallen local military members only on their burial days. Colorado established rules a few years ago spelling out what categories of people are honored statewide, including military members, state officials and police and firefighters who die on duty.

“It’s such an honor and a recognition for people, you never want to say no. But you can’t always say yes,” said Kathy Green, a spokeswoman for Democratic Gov. John Hickenlooper.

“So we had to set some parameters.”

But setting limits can be thorny.

Even denying flag honors to a convicted felon didn’t fly in Rhode Island.

Democratic Gov. Gina Raimondo initially declined to lower flags this year for longtime former Providence Mayor Buddy Cianci, a Republican-turned-independent who’d been convicted of corruption. Amid an outcry from Cianci fans, Raimondo changed her mind “out of respect for the office he held for 20 years.”

Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, took heat for not lowering flags after three local Marines were killed in a March 2015 helicopter crash during training off Florida. State policy reserved the honor for those killed in combat, but after veterans’ groups complained, Snyder reversed course.

To Wayne Luznicky, a Vietnam War veteran who leads the Marine Corps League’s Grand Rapids detachment, the episode encapsulated muddled impulses about who gets honored and who doesn’t.

“Where are the priorities?” he asked.

Looking at the uneven landscape, the Pittsburgh-based National Flag Foundation plans to craft half-staff guidelines to circulate to governors.

Still, even experts say flag etiquette is, to some extent, a personal code.

“The way you honor the flag,” Hartvigsen said, “is the way you live as a citizen.”

Flags fly at half-staff around the Washington Monument at daybreak June 13 in Washington, by order of President Obama, the day after more than four dozen people were killed in the Orlando, Fla., nightclub shootings. As the nation marks Independence Day on Monday, lowering the flag remains a visible, immediate way to pay tribute in hours of tragedy, but flag buffs have noted that the honor has been extended more widely over time, and they and other Americans have questioned whether the country has lowered the bar on the lowering the flag.

Economics: The most useless profession Dear Mr. Berko: Gerald Friedman is a distinguished economist who initially wanted to be a psychiatrist.

He says that under Bernie Sanders’ platform, in five years, U.S. median income would increase by $22,000, and 26 million new jobs would be created.

He says that the unemployment rate would fall to 3.3 percent and that the economy would grow by 5.3 percent annually.

Local sites hit landfill-free milestone Park district noted West Liberty Foods celebrates success of environmental effort The HERALD–NEWS BOLINGBROOK – West Liberty Foods LLC, an Iowa-based private label manufacturer and foodservice supplier, announced recently all of its facilities are landfill-free, with its operations in Bolingbrook – West Liberty Foods and Liberty Cold – achieving this milestone in April.

Since October 2015, the facilities have eliminated more than 9.2 million pounds of waste from local landfills, according to a news release from the company.

This latest move means the organization is one of the first in the nation to be verified landfill-free companywide, eliminating nearly 120 million

pounds annually of waste previously sent to local landfills, or approximately 5,000 garbage trucks.

“We are incredibly proud of the effort it took to accomplish this significant achievement in our company,” Ed Garrett, president and CEO of West Liberty Foods, said in the news release. “We are committed to ensuring we remain landfill-free long-term, always striving to improve our environmental footprint.”

Environmental, Health and Safety Director Michelle Boney was a driving force in the efforts, implementing small process changes that led to large waste reductions.

The company engages in robust recycling programs and partnerships with waste vendors, relying on company employees to take actions to minimize byproducts.

All of West Liberty Foods’ locations employ ISO 14001-

certified environmental management systems to help manage their environmental impact, including waste elimination.

West Liberty Foods’ landfill-free status was independently verified by NSF International Strategic Registrations, an organization that certifies products and writes standards for food, water and consumer goods. The verification process was used to confirm the total waste being sent to landfills from its facilities is less than 1 percent – including manufacturing refuse, incoming packaging, office paper and food waste.

The West Liberty Foods and Liberty Cold employees celebrated the landfill-free status with a special ceremony last week in Bolingbrook with U.S. Rep. Bill Foster, D-Naperville, and Bolingbrook Mayor Roger Claar as featured speakers.

The Declaration of Independence The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America (Adopted by Congress on July 4, 1776)

W

hen in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. – That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, – That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to

alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils

are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. – Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the

necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.

He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome

See DECLARATION, page 35

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

• DECLARATION

Continued from page 34 and necessary for the public good. He has forbidden his Governors to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance, unless suspended in their operation till his Assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he has utterly neglected to attend to them.

He has refused to pass other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislature, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.

He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual, uncomfortable, and distant from the depository of their public Records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.

He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people. He has refused for a long time, after such dissolutions, to cause others to be elected; whereby the Legislative powers, incapable of Annihilation, have returned to the People at large for their exercise; the State remaining in the mean time exposed to all the dangers of invasion

from without, and convulsions within. He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreigners; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither, and raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands. He has obstructed the Administration of Justice, by refusing his Assent to Laws for establishing Judiciary powers. He has made Judges dependent on his Will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries.

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance. He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power. He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to our constitution, and unacknowledged by our laws; giving his Assent to their Acts of pretended Legislation: For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States: For cutting off our Trade with

all parts of the world: For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent: For depriving us in many cases, of the benefits of Trial by Jury: For transporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences For abolishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province, establishing therein an Arbitrary government, and enlarging its Boundaries so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: For taking away our Charters, abolishing our most valuable Laws, and altering fundamentally the Forms of our Governments: For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases whatsoever. He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection and waging War against us. He has plundered our seas, ravaged our Coasts, burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our people. He is at this time transporting large Armies of foreign Mercenaries to compleat the works of death, desolation and tyranny, already begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized nation. He has constrained our

While the immiseration of the majority of humankind continues, the wealth of the global elites increases. They show no shame or responsibility for the fragile existence of others, and they go to great effort to hide their own accumulated assets.

The recently released survey of the Federal Reserve Board revealed that 76 million Americans are “struggling to get by.” Their plight is ignored by the advocates of austerity who are committed to cutting pensions, health care and funding for education while simultaneously pushing for tax breaks for the wealthy and multinational corporations.

The hypocrisy, greed and their “deficit of humanity” was illuminated by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists. They disclosed the contents of the Panama Documents (11.5 million docs) which revealed that 2,400 U.S. citizens hid millions of dollars in order to “evade U.S. taxes and disclosure laws.” It is estimated that $40 billion to $70 billion a year is hidden.

Illinois Gov. Bruce Rauner is among the advocates of austerity as he schemes with his millionaire friends to dismantle the safety net and destroy organized labor. He clearly reflects a “deficit of humanity” and is in need of a “moral awakening.”

He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Nor have We been wanting in attentions to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. We have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here.

We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections

and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity.

We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our Separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind, Enemies in War, in Peace Friends.

We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America, in General Congress, Assembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in the Name, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies, solemnly publish and declare, That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States; that they are Absolved from all Allegiance to the British Crown, and that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain, is and ought to be totally dissolved; and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.

Bryant shines as Slammers edge Windy City

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After throwing very well in his pro debut and then not so well in his second start, Joliet Slammers pitcher Shane Bryant was determined to use a different kind of approach in Friday’s series opener against Windy City.

Focused on getting ahead in the count, the right-hander who finished at Purdue University this spring, was effective at doing just that for the Slammers during his seven innings.

He allowed no runs and five hits while striking out six batters before being relieved by Brent Choban and Kevin Simmons during the final two frames.

And Joliet made a run-scoring grounder by Hunter Ridge in the second inning stand as it went on to capture a 1-0 Frontier League victory over the ThunderBolts at Silver Cross Field.

The Slammers (26-17) moved nine games over .500 for the first time this

season and also took their biggest lead in the East Division by 3.5 games over Washington. Windy City (22-21) lost its seventh straight and fell into a tie with Schaumburg, four games off the pace.

After allowing one run on one hit in six innings in a win over Schaumburg on June 18, Bryant (2-1) gave up five earned runs in 41⁄3 innings in a defeat against Lake Erie on June 25.

“This whole past week I knew what I needed to work on,” Bryant said. “In my past two outings I didn’t throw enough strikes and a lot of guys were getting 2-0 counts. So I was making myself work harder than what I needed to do, so today I just wanted to pound the zone, and me and (Casey) Fletcher just established that and I just tried to get ahead of a lot of hitters.

“It’s a different ball game when we’re pitching 0-2 rather than 2-0 to some of these good hitters, and thankfully we were able to get the job done today.

When you’re pitching, you never real-

ly think if you’re going to get five or 10 runs, but in 1-0 games, great teams are going to find ways to pull those out. And more importantly, it was the first game of the series, so it was also a big win in that regard.”

It was the third shutout for the Slammers and their first since back-to-back games June 16 and 17. Despite collecting just one run on five hits, they were still able to capture their 18th victory in the last 24 outings.

The Slammers got the only run in the second against Windy City starter Brady Muller. After Jake Gronsky (2 for 3) and Casey Fletcher collected one-out singles, Ridge, who hadn’t played since June 16, grounded out to score Gronsky with the eventual winning run.

Choban allowed one hit and struck out two in 11⁄3 innings while Simmons got the save after yielding one hit in 2⁄3 innings. Windy City’s John Williams went 3 for 4 to lead all hitters.

Although Bryant has been with the

Slammers for just two weeks, he’s adjusting quite well to his new situation and really likes the makeup of the players that are on his new squad.

“I charted for (Spencer) Medick’s game, and he did a great job, so you kind of want to carry that over,” Bryant said.

“This team feeds off of momentum and you don’t want to be the guy that halts momentum by giving up early runs.

There’s a bit of pressure, but I think that all of the pitchers are embracing it. My part’s the easy part by just throwing it in there and this defense is tops in the league, and it shows.

“I like how we all have one common goal. When I came here, I was expecting different egos and personalities pulling away from the common goal of just winning ball games. But everyone is on the same ship and they’re just trying to win ball games. It’s not about pitchers’ stats or hitting stats, it’s what can we do to win the ball game. That’s showing with some of these games we’re pulling out.”

38 WINDY CITY 3, SLAMMERS 2

Windy City rallies past Slammers

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Slammers and Windy City were heading in two different directions going into Saturday’s middle game of the teams’ weekend series.

Windy City had lost seven straight while the Slammers had won 18 of their last 24 contests, so things looked promising for Joliet after it grabbed a 2-0 advantage three innings in and still maintained it heading into the final four frames.

However, that’s when the fortunes shifted as the ThunderBolts tied things in the sixth and moved in front for good in the seventh as they went on to capture a 3-2 Frontier League victory at Silver Cross Field.

After yielding the two runs in the third, ThunderBolts starter Clay Chapman faced one hitter over the minimum from the fourth through eighth innings.

He allowed two runs on seven hits while striking out seven in eight innings to improve to 5-2 on the season.

“Both starting pitchers threw the ball well,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “Chapman gave us trouble at their place, as well. He’s a quality pitcher in this league and made pitches when he had to, so hats off to him.

“Hitting is contagious and our guys have to pick it up a little bit.

But we have faced some pretty good pitchers, as well, so that’s part of the reason.

“But the good thing is that while we’re not hitting, we are getting good pitching and that’s keeping us in these games. We all want offense, but you’re not always going to have that. This was a close one and it could have gone either way.

“Tomorrow’s a big game for us since we want to continue to win series. Our philosophy is to go .500 on the road and take two out of three at home and we’re right there with that.”

With the win, Windy City (23-21) moved back into sole possession of second place in the East Division standings, three games behind the first place Slammers (26-18).

The ThunderBolts threatened in the first inning, loading the bases with one out.

But Slammers starter Kaleb Ort worked his way out of the jam by getting a strikeout and an infield grounder.

Joliet Slammers’ Alfredo Rodriguez swings for a base hit against the Windy City ThunderBolts on Friday at Silver Cross Field in Joliet.

Slammers won, 1-0. The Slammers lost to the ThunderBolts on Saturday, 3-2.

Joliet Slammers’ Liam O’Sullivan signs with Arizona SUBMITTED REPORT JOLIET – Joliet Slammers starting pitcher Liam O’Sullivan has signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks.

He is the second Slammers player to be signed to a major-league organization this week.

“The Diamondbacks have been keeping an eye on him,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said. “They’ve seen him in the past, and during his time here in Joliet, he’s proven to be one of the top pitchers in the league.

We are excited for this opportunity for him.”

This season was O’Sullivan’s first with Joliet moved in front in the third when Joe Staley (2 for 3) led off with a home run to right center. Phil Bates followed with a single to center and took second on a wild pitch and then Charlie White drove him in with a single to center to make it a 2-0 game.

the Slammers.

He played collegiately at St. Leo University in Florida before joining the Frontier Greys late in the 2015 season.

Pitching 10 games this season, starting eight, O’Sullivan had a 5-0 record.

Four of his wins came within the last five starts, including a 9-8 win against the River City Rascals in his most recent outing.

O’Sullivan ranks second in the Frontier League in wins behind Trevor Foss of the Washington Wild Things and Josh Kimborowicz of the Southern Illinois Miners, each with six. In 51-plus innings, he struck out 41 and had a 3.20 ERA. Manager Ron Biga’s squad looked like it might score in the fifth after Coco Johnson doubled to left and then stole third with one out. But Ort again got out of trouble with a strikeout and a popup to first.

But the ThunderBolts finally evened things in the sixth when Ran-

som LaLonde (2 for 3) led off with a double to right and Kyle Wood followed with a two-run home run to right to knock Ort out of the contest.

In five innings, he allowed two runs and five hits while striking out four.

Then in the seventh, Windy City moved in front after reliever and losing pitcher Tyler Levine walked Johnson and hit Corey Bass to start the frame. After getting a strikeout and fly out, LaLonde hit a hard shot past short to give the visitors a 3-2 lead.

After Alfredo Rodriguez singled off Chapman to lead off the ninth inning, Joel Lima entered and recorded a strikeout before coaxing a double play ball to ensure the save.

Tim Zier also went 3 for 4 for the ThunderBolts whiled Marc Flores was 2 for 3 for the Slammers, who also got two scoreless innings of relief from Marc Rutledge.

The squads meet at 1:05 p.m. Sunday as Joliet goes after its eight series win since the start of June.

During his visit to Louisville for the funeral of his hero, Muhammad Ali, Joliet’s Billy Boy Thompson poses in the ring inside at the Ali Center.

There is something to be said for being pretty.

Billy Boy Thompson, Joliet’s No. 1 heavyweight boxer ever, was enjoying lunch at a favorite local restaurant a couple of days ago when he reflected on the late Muhammad Ali. “I have never been a hero worshipper unless someone really caught my eye, and Ali did,” Thompson said. “He is my hero.

“As a black kid growing up on the south side of Joliet, I needed a role model. He was a good fighter. I was good looking and he was good looking.

In those days, they used to say, ‘I’m black and I’m proud.’ Ali made it, ‘I’m black and I’m pretty.’ ” Pretty mattered to Ali. Recall him saying Joe Frazier was too ugly to be the heavyweight champion.

Thompson got us together because he wanted to tell the tale of being in Louisville on June 9-10 for the celebration of the life of perhaps the most iconic sports figure ever. Ali died June 3.

“It was quite an experience for me to be at the funeral,” Thompson said.

“In my whole life, I have never seen anything like Louisville.

“I saw about 300 athletes and celebrities there – Billy Crystal, President Clinton, Bryant Gumble, lots of old boxers. I was able to talk with some of the them. History was made in Louisville. I felt so connected because I knew so many of the fighters.”

Thompson had scores of pictures taken there. “I got to see Ali’s horse, the Ali Center and the home on Grand Avenue where he grew up in Louisville,” he said.

Thompson was there with his

MEETING WITH ALI

“A lot of towns were racist back in those days, Louisville among them,” Thompson said. “Ali did something about it. He was for equality for all mankind.

“He was out of fighting for more than three years (he was a conscientious objector to the Vietnam War who was arrested for draft evasion) and then the U.S. Supreme Court gave him his license back. I met him once at Navy Pier, which at that time was the Mayor Daley Youth Foundation.

“I was so nervous. Somehow I got in his dressing room. I put out my hand to shake his, and he said, ‘Can’t you see I’m tying my shoe?’ I was taken back a little. But after that, it was good.”

Thompson asked Ali whether he could spar with him.

“He had a lot on his plate, so that didn’t happen,” Thompson said. “But he said, ‘I could let you spar with Alonzo Johnson, my sparring partner.’

I did that. I was happy.”

Thompson fought once in Louisville in 1968.

“The guy who ran the Golden Gloves showed me an application from Cassius Clay (the future Muhammad Ali) when he was 15 years old,” Thompson said.

• BILLY BOY

Continued from page 39 BEST RIGHT HAND

Ali died at age 74. Thompson is 71, so his career ran simultaneously to that of Ali and so many other familiar names of the 1960s and ’70s. The question that forever will remain unanswered is where Billy Boy Thompson – a newspaper article once credited him with possessing “the best right hand in America” – would have fallen on the roster of top heavyweights of that era had he turned pro.

Thompson lost to George Foreman on a second-round TKO in the Olympics Trials in 1968 at Toledo, Ohio, but not before he knocked down Foreman in the first round.

“I fought Billy Boy one time as an amateur and he really had me rolling,” Foreman later said. “Boy, did he hit me hard.”

“George Foreman and I are good friends,” Thompson said. “We trained together in 1968. I trained there with Buster Mathis. But I got homesick after a month and came home.”

Thompson’s boxing game was ready to take the next step in 1970, after he won the Golden Gloves national championship, beating Ron Lyle for the title. That was the fifth fight he won in three days.

“Ron Lyle told me later, ‘When I fought you in ’70, all I saw was your right hand, and it was coming at me like bullets,’ ” Thompson said.

“Ernie Shavers, Lyle, Foreman and Leon Spinks all fought with me and there a time when I was better than all of them. I worked out with Ernie Terrell and Buster Mathis.

Tony Zale (ex-middleweight champion) worked in my corner once. Had I turned pro, I am quite certain I would have been up there at the top.”

That did not happen largely because Thompson was a family man and felt he had to work, and because he did not have the coaching in boxing that most of the professionals had.

“The thing is, I did it all on my own, and I won the nationals, CYO tournaments, state tournaments, Golden Gloves, everything there was to win as an amateur,” Thompson said. “Ali came along and did what he did, and I said, ‘I can do this.’ I got pretty good. I wound up getting a lot of accolades because I idolized Ali, but I still had to put the work in.

“I had great coaches in other sports like Ray Klootwyk and Gil Bell in football, and Ken Parker was a coach and mentor. (Thompson’s lifelong friend) Pat Sullivan was teaching at Providence and he let me work out there when I needed to.

But if I was going to go to the top in professional boxing, I had to have someone in my corner, and I never really had that.”

BUSY, BUSY

Life was calling.

“I was doing it all,” he said. “I really don’t know how I won a national championship in boxing when I had been playing football, baseball and basketball, too. I worked from 1966 to 1974 at the arsenal and retired from the railroad (Burlington Northern Santa Fe) after 31 years. I was a yard master there.

“I was the marbles champ at Eliza Kelly and took fourth place in a yo-yo competition. I worked as a kid setting up pins at the bowling alley and caddied at the golf course. I had all kinds of alternatives here in Joliet. George Foreman and those guys really had nothing but boxing.”

When Thompson did go away for state and national competitions, local merchants provided him some financial support.

“They knew I was legit,” he said “The people in Joliet are good people.

If you’re doing something good, the people will help you out.”

Thompson’s mother, Ada Thompson, who died in 2002, also gets kudos from her son.

“My mom played a big part in my life,” he said. “I wasn’t perfect growing up. I was a knucklehead, but somehow I turned it around thanks to her.”

Even with Thompson’s life going

in multiple directions, the big-name heavyweights of his era were aware of his prowess in the ring.

“I fought Jumbo Cummings in Stateville,” he said. “Unfortunately, after he got out of prison and lost to Joe Frazier, he got out of boxing and got into trouble again. He’s in for life.

“In 1978, I had a fight at the Pontiac prison the week before the riots. I gave a good account of myself wherever I went.”

Thompson was selected to go to the Olympic training camp from 1970 to ‘72 but said he couldn’t go, with his family getting started.

“Duane Bobick went instead,” he said. “I would have been in the same bracket. But those guys were not working. I was.

“I really had no coach, so I didn’t have the discipline. If I had a coach, I could have gotten down to 178 or 180 pounds and fought as a light heavyweight, which I should have done. I would have been fine. I had the best right hand in the country.”

Did his style in any way mimic Ali’s?

“I was more of a body puncher than Ali,” he said. “But I had fast hands and fast feet.”

BOXERS’ FATE

As much as Thompson may feel he could have reached the top of the

professional boxing world, there is something to be said for forgoing that life.

“A lot of my friends from boxing are in pretty bad shape,” he said.

“Lyle and Frazier are dead. So many of them are gone. Leon Spinks has no money. So many don’t have anything.

They start off good and then they fall by the wayside.

“Some friends (Leon and Michael Spinks and Sugar Ray Leonard among them) won gold medals in the 1976 Olympics. The ones in my division couldn’t touch me when everything else was equal, but they got the training.

“Sonny Liston and Ali won national Golden Gloves titles, and I did, too.

Nobody can tell me I couldn’t have been right there if I had the training.”

Before we concluded our conversation, Thompson also wanted to mention another recent death that affected him deeply.

“My friend Billy Lucky passed away in March in Chicago,” he said. “We did a lot growing up. We did little skits together in high school (at Joliet Central).

We played football together growing up and at Joliet Junior College.

“It’s sad, but he had a lot of friends back here in Joliet, and they weren’t even aware that he had died.”

A different scenario than with Ali’s death, but a blow to Thompson nonetheless.

MORRIS SHOOTOUT: BOLINGBROOK

By TIM TIERNEY

Shaw Media correspondent

• Sunday, July 3, 2016

MORRIS – Confidence within the Bolingbrook basketball program doesn’t waver in the summertime.

“We have shown over the last four or five years that our program is going to be one of the top ones, not only in the area, but in the state,’’ Bolingbrook coach Rob Brost said. “I would expect that to continue to be the case.’’

Bolingbrook showed some proof of that Wednesday and Thursday at the 31st annual Morris Boys Shootout. The Raiders won their first five games before a 55-48 loss to Loyola in the semifinals of the 32-team event.

“We’re getting better, and that’s the important thing,’’ Brost said. “Coming to tournaments like this helps us get better.

“You never know who has full strength and who doesn’t. We don’t put a lot of stock in the wins and losses. We just want to get better.’’

Brost didn’t gloat about the victory over Minooka in the Raiders’ second game at Morris. Minooka ended Bolingbrook’s season last March in the Indians’ Class 4A regional championship game.

“No, it’s a summer game,’’ Brost said.

Shootout tournaments at Plainfield East and Oswego also were part of the summer preparation the Raiders hope to benefit from when the 2016-17 season begins.

“Learn to play together and learn to be coached by our coaches,’’ Bolingbrook standout Nana Akenten said of the summer games. “Just grow as a team before the actual season starts, so when that comes, we won’t have to do as much adjusting to each other.’’

Akenten, a 6-foot-6 senior, averaged 15 points a game last season. He has several scholarship offers, including one from Nebraska.

“It’s nice to have a Big Ten offer, but I’m not going to be caught up in the big names,’’ Akenten said. “It’ll be where the best fit is for me.

“I’m still very open. I’ve got a big month ahead of me.’’

For Akenten, the past month was a time for personal growth within the team.

“This summer, I focused more on becoming a better teammate, more of a leader, more on my communication skills,’’ he said. “Make sure my teammates are always in the game. I try to get everybody involved, just lift their spirits up. I’m trying to be somebody you like to play with.’’

Brost is thrilled Akenten plays for Bolingbrook.

“It all starts with Nana,’’ the Raiders’ coach said. “He’s one of the top players in the state for a reason. His leadership

Bolingbrook plans to stay at high level

Bolingbrook’s Demari Grant (10) drives to the basket around Minooka’s defense Wednesday at the 31st annual Boys Summer Shootout 2016 at Morris High School. has gotten so much better than it was last year.

“He’s an elite player. He’s got a Big Ten offer, 15 or so scholarship offers. Any time you have an elite player, a player of that caliber, that’s where it all begins.’’

Injury would seem to be a concern in the often hectic pace of summer games, but not to Akenten.

“Not at all,’’ he said. “It’s basketball.

Whether I’m playing here or playing in the season, anything can happen.’’

Bolingbrook was 16-9 last season even after graduation depleted the 2014-

15 squad that rolled to a 25-7 record and finished third in the Class 4A State Tournament. It was the basketball team’s first trip downstate.

Brost, who’s entering his 10th season as head coach, will be counting on Akenten and 6-7 senior Brandon Lawani to be the new leaders.

“Our seniors this year, Nana and Brandon especially, they played on that team that got third,’’ Brost said. “They were contributors to that team, so they know what it takes, what we’re going to need to do to get back to that level. We’re

looking forward to competing at the highest level.’’

To reach that level, Bolingbrook also will need strong play from Joseph Yesufu, Tyler Cochran and Kaleb Thornton, a transfer from East Suburban Catholic Conference member Nazareth and the Roadrunners’ No. 2 scorer.

“We’re still kind of young, but I think we’ll be pretty good, especially the new offense that coach has put in,’’ Akenten said. “We’re playing a lot faster. That will make it harder for the defenders to keep up with us.’’

Route 66 NHRA Nationals a definite highlight VIEWS Curt Herron I don’t know whether there’s an event on the local sports calendar that I’ve had such a transformation on as the Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway.

To say that I had no real opinion on drag racing before I first witnessed it would be safe. Someone had to cover it, and that happened to be me.

But that said, the NHRA Nationals has become one of my favorite events of the year and I look forward to it for several reasons.

First of all, while the racing may be brief, it’s certainly dramatic. Firing up those vehicles for the short run down the track is exciting, especially when you get to witness it at night.

The one-on-one competition is another interesting aspect, whether it’s during qualifying rounds or in Sunday eliminations, where the better driver or vehicle doesn’t always prevail.

You have to be impressed with the talents of the drivers for competing in this challenging sport. And all of the people who work on the vehicles to prepare them for the event are obviously unsung heroes. Race fans can get a firsthand view of their talents as they roam through the pit area.

And you couldn’t ask for a better group of people to deal with during a weekend than the drivers, teams and NHRA publicists. They all appreciate the support that papers like ours provide them with as they travel around the country.

That’s why if you haven’t ever attended the event, I would highly recommend it. Whether you love to see speed, like watching mechanics do

NHRA Top Fuel driver Tony Schumacher, who has captured eight world championships and won his fifth race in Joliet last year, will be looking for his first victory of the season at next weekend’s 19th annual K&N Filters Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway. their thing or just enjoy the variety of vehicles in the sport, there’s something for everybody.

But remember to bring some earplugs since the roar of these engines can get really loud.

As usual, there’s all sorts of interesting story lines for next weekend’s competition, which begins with Friday and Saturday qualifying and concludes with Sunday’s eliminations leading up to the finals.

Although the Mello Yello Series is only halfway through its 24-race run, two drivers have already earned spots for the Countdown to the Championship playoffs, which start after the next six events.

Jason Line and Greg Anderson are the first drivers to qualify this early for the playoffs since 2008 and not only are both in the Pro Stock division,

they’re also teammates. Line already has seven wins to his credit while Anderson won the five other races that have been run in the division so far. The pair has won six titles in the division since 2003.

The rest of the drivers in Pro Stock are scrambling for the other eight playoff spots, including 2015 Joliet winner Allen Johnson, who ranks fourth in points, and Erica Enders, the two-time defending world champ who is currently eight points shy of a spot in the top 10. Jeg Coughlin, a five-time world champ and five-time winner at Joliet, currently ranks ninth.

There’s a good battle for the top spot in the marquee division, Top Fuel.

Doug Kalitta has won three races and owns a 69-point lead over defending world champ Antron Brown for first.

Tony Schumacher, who won for

the fifth time at Joliet last year beside being the all-time wins leader and an eight-time world champion in Top Fuel, is still looking for his first win this year and ranks fifth in points, trailing Steve Torrence and Brittany Force.

In Funny Car, Ron Capps already has four wins, which has helped him to grab a 130-point lead over Courtney Force for the top spot in that division.

Last year’s world champ, Del Worsham, owns a slight lead over 2015 Joliet winner Tommy Johnson for fourth place in points while 16-time world champion John Force is currently in ninth place.

And in Pro Stock Motorcycle, there’s a nice competition between teammates Eddie Krawiec and Andrew Hines for first place in that division. Three-time winner Krawiec leads both two-time defending world champion Hines and Gerald Savoie by 166 points for first place. Hines and Krawiec have won eight world championships between them since 2004.

With eliminations based on qualifying times, all sorts of interesting matchups unfold. How a driver reacts or whether an engine fails plays a major role in determining who moves on.

While that is often very frustrating for all involved, it’s exciting for the fans and very rewarding for the winning teams.

So if you love both cars and speed and want to see some of the best in the business mastering the two, then Route 66 Raceway is the place to be next weekend. The past few Route 66 NHRA Nationals have been exciting events, and I see no reason why this year’s competition should be any different.

BULLS

AP source: Knicks, Noah agree to 4-year, $72 million deal

By BRIAN MAHONEY The Associated Press

NEW YORK – First Derrick Rose, then Joakim Noah. The New York Knicks are hoping the road to their turnaround starts in Chicago.

Noah agreed to a four-year deal worth $72 million on Friday, returning to his hometown and joining his former Bulls teammate in New York, a person with knowledge of the details told The Associated Press.

The Knicks filled the center spot that opened when they dealt Robin

Lopez to Chicago by turning to the versatile Noah, a New York native who has spent his entire career with the Bulls.

The person was granted anonymity beJoakim Noah cause deals cannot be signed until July 7.

Noah battled injuries last season and was limited to a career-low 29 games, but Rose said he wanted his former teammate in New York with him after the Knicks acquired him from the

Bulls last week. Noah made it clear that was his goal Friday when he posted a photo of himself on Instagram slipping on a Knicks hat.

Now he’ll be slipping on their uniform.

Noah’s excellent passing skills from the center spot could make him a perfect fit in the triangle offense, and his hard-nosed defensive play should make a fan favorite in New York, where he was born and later played in high school.

First he has to show last season was just a difficult one, and not a sign that

the 31-year-old has slowed down. He lost his starting job in the first season since Fred Hoiberg replaced Tom Thibodeau, averaging a career-worst 4.3 points.

But the Knicks might not need much offense from the 2014 Defensive Player of the Year if Rose, Carmelo Anthony and Kristaps Porzingis remain healthy under new coach Jeff Hornacek. If they do, New York should easily be able to better its 32-50 finish of last season.

The Knicks are still looking for a shooting guard after Arron Afflalo opted to become a free agent.

was still able to apply the tag.

Danny Worth drew a walk to start Houston’s third before a bunt single by Jake Marisnick. Houston tied it at 2-2 when Worth scored on a sacrifice bunt by Marwin Gonzalez and took the lead on an RBI single

by Altuve.

After a short coaching visit to the mound, Carlos Correa pushed the lead to 4-2 on a run-scoring single.

Sale settled down after that, retiring 13 of the next 14 batters he faced, until George Springer singled to start the eighth. Gonzalez reached on an error by Todd Frazier after that to end Sale’s day.

“He just finds a way to finally find a groove,” manager Robin Ventura said. “Once he got the lead, you just knew he was going to be able to extend it and get through it.”

METS 4, CUBS 3

Mets beat Cubs in Arrieta’s 1st road loss in 14 months

By RONALD BLUM

four runs and eight hits in 51⁄3 innings. He had been 19-0 in 24 regular-season road starts since losing at St. Louis on May 7, 2015, the only pitcher since 1913 to win 19 consecutive road decisions. However, he lost Game 2 of last year’s NL Championship Series at Citi Field.

Arrieta started his first eight batters with balls. Rookie Brandon Nimmo walked leading off, and Walker sent a 94 mph sinker off the facing of the second deck in right.

Walker had been 4 for 28 against Arrieta, including the postseason.

The home run was his 15th this year, one shy of his 2015 total.

With the score 2-2 in the fourth and runners at first and second, d’Arnaud popped a ball into short center field, in the middle of a trian-

gle formed by center fielder Jason Heyward, second baseman Javier Baez and shortstop Addison Russell.

Colon allowed two runs and four hits in six innings. Before the game, Cubs manager Joe Maddon recalled writing Pancho on the lineup card when he was bench coach of Angels instead of Colon’s name, a reference to Colon’s pet donkey when he was young in the Dominican Republic. He said the way to beat the crafty 43-year-old was to take advantage of his few mistakes.

That’s what the Cubs did. Kris Bryant singled leading off the fourth and Anthony Rizzo hit a drive to the center field batter’s eye, his 20th home run this season.

Saturday night’s dominating run.

He said his futility at Daytona was “a kick in the you-know-what,” but he DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. – Brad Keand his No. 2 Ford crew kept chipping selowski has finally won at Daytona away at it even after he had a disapInternational Speedway, a track pointing run in the season-opening that had eluded him despite strong Daytona 500. success in restrictor plate races.

The win was the 100th for Team Penske.

The race was marred by a 22-car accident that collected more than half the field and thinned the competition for Keselowski. It really only left Kyle Busch as a legitimate contender, but a restart for a two-lap shootout that sent it into overtime forced Keselowski to earn the win.

The Associated Press NEW YORK – Jake Arrieta lost a regular-season road start for the first time in 14 months when Neil Walker hit a two-run homer and Travis d’Arnaud blooped a two-run single that pushed the New York Mets over the Cubs, 4-3, on Saturday night for their third straight win over the Cubs.

HOUSTON – Chris Sale wasn’t patting himself on the back on the day he became this season’s first 14-game winner.

“To be honest I probably had the least to do with this win today,” Sale said.

Dioner Navarro drove in a season-high four runs, Sale settled down after a shaky start to pitch seven-plus innings and the White Sox beat the Houston Astros, 7-6, on Saturday.

Sale (14-2) allowed four runs in the first three innings before settling in to yield just two hits and an unearned run the rest of the way. He allowed six hits and tied a season high by fanning nine.

He became the first AL-pitcher to get 14 wins before the AllStar break since David Wells went 15-2 in 2000.

Navarro drove in a pair with a triple in the second inning to put Chicago up 2-1. The White Sox were trailing in the fifth when his two-run single made it 5-4.

J.B. Shuck hit a solo homer in the fourth and had an RBI triple in the Sox’s two-run eighth inning.

Rookie A.J. Reed hit his first career homer off David Robertson to make it 7-6 with two outs in the ninth before Robertson struck out Colby Rasmus for his 22nd save.

Jose Altuve homered and drove in three runs for the Astros, who had a five-game winning streak snapped.

The Sox had a chance to pad their lead in the third, but Adam Eaton couldn’t beat the throw home on a two-out single

by Brett Lawrie. Eaton leaped over the head of catcher Evan Gattis on the play, but Gattis

JOLIET – Vincent Cornelius of Joliet made history June 17 when he was installed as the 140th president of the Illinois State Bar Association at its annual meeting.

He is the first person from Joliet, the first person from Will County, and the first African-American, to become president of the association. While the first two are personally satisfying to Cornelius – having lived in Joliet most of his life – it’s the latter he feels is most historically significant.

“There’s always a diversity of mindsets and diversity of personalities and viewpoints,” Cornelius said.

“The more of those viewpoints and perspectives that have a seat at the table and voice in the ideology, the stronger the organization and the stronger the association.”

Raymond Bolden, a former Will County judge, has known Vincent for most of Cornelius’ life. Bolden called Cornelius, whose practice focuses on criminal defense and civil litigation, a great attorney and leader.

“He has intelligence and he works hard at his profession,” Bolden said.

“He cares about people and he wants to help others. Those are the qualities for people who want to help others lead.”

As president of the association, Vincent plans to emphasize education.

According to a new release from the ISBA, Cornelius intends to collaborate with Illinois law schools and law school deans, the Illinois Supreme Court and the American Bar Association.

Vincent, who said he’s taught Bible study at his church, said education is important when communicating with clients, witnesses and sometimes even judges.

“I have a teacher’s heart,” he said.

He gives credit for that to his mother, Lorrayne Cornelius, a Washington Junior High School teacher for 34 years.

Lorrayne left Pine Bluff, Arkansas – where Vincent was born – in 1966 after Joliet Public Schools District 86 recruited her and other black teachers from the South to add diversity to the district, Vincent said.

Vincent had two more strong influences in his life: Bolden, who was a family friend (“He was courageous when he saw anything that looked like injustice,” Vincent said); and Perry Mason.

According to a news release from the Illinois State Bar Association, Vincent Cornelius received his law degree from Northern Illinois University College of Law in 1989 and began his legal career as an assistant state’s attorney in DuPage County.

Afterward, he joined the law firm of James D. Montgomery and Associates in Chicago and then – by age 30 – opened his own firm in Wheaton. He later opened a second office in Joliet.

In 1999, Cornelius was elected to the ISBA Board of Governors’ 37-and-under seat. He also served as the chancellor of the ISBA’s Academy of Illinois Lawyers and as the president of the Illinois Bar Foundation from 2008 to 2010.

In addition, Cornelius served as assistant treasurer and as chairman of several committees of the DuPage County Bar Association.

He is a founding member of the Black Bar Association of Will County.

“Watching my mother engage in our community and help everyone she could in every way she could – I wanted to be in a profession where I could do that.”

Vincent Cornelius

New president of the Illinois State Bar Association

Eric Ginnard - eginnard@shawmedia.com

Joliet attorney Vincent Cornelius was installed as the 140th president of the Illinois State Bar Association on June 17. In addition to being the first person from Joliet and from Will County to serve as president, he is the first African-American to serve in the position.

But Lorrayne’s influence was the strongest. She impressed Vincent with her dedication to helping students be the best they could.

“I saw how it gratified her,” Vincent said. “She [even] helped me see what I could be. Watching my mother engage in our community and help everyone she could in every way she could – I wanted to be in a profession where I could do that.”

Even at age 9 and a student at the former Edna Keith Elementary School in Joliet, Vincent knew he wanted to

practice law as a trial lawyer.

“I wanted to be in the courtroom, standing in front of the jury box arguing cases on a regular basis,” Vincent said. “That’s the way I always envisioned it.”

That desire stayed with him, through his years at Washington Junior High School, Joliet Catholic High School and the former College of St Francis, where Vincent earned a bachelor’s degree in business and played basketball.

Vincent feels his enjoyment of

sports contributed to his love of the courtroom.

“That probably caters to the athlete in me,” Vincent said. “It’s a highly competitive environment.”

In 2013, Vincent was elected third vice president of the Illinois State Bar Association, the first step, he said, toward his installation as president of the 32,000-member organization.

“It means I have an opportunity to make a significant contribution at the highest level of my profession,” he said.

Lorrayne died in 2013, but not before Vincent’s path to the presidency was established.

Was she proud?

“I think my mother was proud of the accomplishments of her son long before I was elected third vice president,” Vincent said.

Walk-in clinics are convenient Dear Dr. K: What do you think of the walk-in health clinics that are popping up? Can I use them instead of going to my regular doctor?

Dear Reader: You ask a timely question.

More and more Americans are turning to retail health clinics – walk-in medical facilities located in storefronts, pharmacies, grocery stores and retailers. As of late 2015, there were more than 2,000 of them in the United State.

My one-sentence answer to your question is it’s a shame they have become necessary. That’s because I believe the best answer is for every person to have a primary care physician who knows them, and to bring all health problems to that doctor.

So why are people going to these walk-in clinics? The most obvious reason is we haven’t trained enough primary care doctors, and the ones we have are very busy. As a result, patients must wait longer for an appointment to see a doctor, even for simple problems.

No one likes to wait. Walk-in clinics typically will see you without an appointment (although you often won’t be seen immediately). Also, walk-in clinics frequently are open nights and weekends.

If you’re hurting and your own doctor is not available, retail health clinics have their place. They are most appropriate when you have a simple health condition that needs immediate medical attention – a respiratory or urinary tract infection, for example. But it’s important your medical record from this visit reaches your primary care doctor, and that often doesn’t happen.

For more complicated or ongoing medical issues, health clinics are not a substitute for a doctor’s office. The doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants in those clinics probably won’t have access to

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff your records. They won’t know what medical conditions you have, the results of your laboratory tests, the medicines you’re on or whether you have drug allergies. They need to know that information to give you good care.

“What’s the problem?” you might ask.

“I can simply give them that information.”

Maybe. But ask yourself if you could, right now off the top of your head, list all of your medical conditions, the results of your most recent laboratory tests, all of the medicines you are taking (and the doses), and every drug you have had an allergic reaction to.

Retail health clinics often are staffed by nurse practitioners, not doctors. Nurse practitioners are required to follow specific care guidelines.

Any time you visit a retail health clinic, get a printed copy of your health record from that visit. Health clinics usually keep good medical records. But it’s up to you to make sure those records get to your primary care doctor, so all of your health records are in one place.

Walk-in clinics like to call themselves “convenience clinics.” They’re convenient, unless you have to wait a long time in the waiting room. However, they often don’t know anything about you and your health.

And if your doctor isn’t informed about the care they give you, that’s not good for you or your doctor.

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

Dream of second child fades with husband’s change of heart Dear Abby: My husband, “Van,” and I have been married 10 years. He’s 40; I’m 33. Our daughter just turned 7. Shortly after she was born, Van informed me he didn’t want to have more children. He said he was happy with just one. It was hard for me to accept, but eventually I came to peace with his decision.

Recently, he began talking about wanting another child. I was, of course, very excited. After much discussion, we decided we would start trying last April, but when the time came, he confessed he’d had a change of heart.

He said he’s getting too old to have a newborn and worries about how old he’ll be once the child is grown, etc.

I respect and understand his reasoning, but I’m having trouble moving past my disappointment. I spent so much time trying to accept we

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips wouldn’t have more kids, having the opportunity again was a dream come true. I don’t want to pressure Van into changing his mind, but I’m starting to resent him. Our daughter has said she’d like a sibling, too. Abby, what to do? – Heartbroken In Georgia Dear Heartbroken: Under the circumstances, your resentment is understandable. Your husband should not have raised your hopes if he was ambivalent about something you want so badly. Couples counseling might help you to overcome your disappointment or, if he would consent to it, help him to work through his fears about becom-

ing a father again. Forty is not over the hill, and many men have added to their families at that age.

Dear Abby: My husband and I have two kids younger than 2. Our close friends “John and Jane” also have two kids under 2.

We recently invited them to our oldest daughter’s birthday party. When they arrived, Jane informed me they hadn’t had time to shop for a gift and they “owed us one.” I brushed it off and said I was just happy they came.

Well, now it’s their older daughter’s birthday. We are invited and I’m confused. Do we still buy her a gift? We want to go, but we feel ripped off because our daughter received nothing.

Would it be rude to attend the party without buying their daughter a gift? –

Ripped Off In San Diego Dear Ripped Off: Yes, it would. You

say these are close friends. John and Jane may not have followed up with a gift for your daughter because you told them you were “just happy they came,” so don’t hold it against them. If this happened repeatedly, my advice might be different, but this simply may have been an oversight.

Dear Abby: Is it appropriate for a big winner to share a small fraction of the winnings with the person who picked the successful numbers at a casino crap table? – Lucky Out West Dear Lucky: It is not only appropriate, but I think it is also expected. To do otherwise would be considered selfish – particularly by the person who was stiffed.

Victor Hugo said, “Common sense is in spite of, not the result of education.”

I agree with that. Even some geniuses lack common sense.

At the bridge table, it is optimal to be a great player who also employs common sense. In today’s deal, how should South try to make three no-trump after West leads the heart king?

South’s sequence showed a balanced hand with 25-27 points. If you and your partner also open three no-trump with that hand-type, what is the difference between the two sequences? One sensible agreement is that the opening three-no-trump bid guarantees 4-3-3-3 distribution, so responder can transfer into a fivecard major safe in the knowledge of at least an eight-card fit.

South sort of starts with 10 top tricks: three spades, one heart, five diamonds and one club. But how can he get into the dummy to cash the spade queen and diamond 10?

He could win the second or third heart, cash his spade and diamond winners, then lead a low club toward the dummy. But that backfires here because West wins that trick and cashes the rest of his hearts to defeat the contract.

It is common sense that you do not want to bank your contract on the location of one card, if you can help it. After winning with the heart ace on the second round of the suit and cashing those six pointed-suit winners, South should lead his heart 10.

West wins that trick and takes two more heart winners, but then must either play a spade to dummy’s queen or lead away from his club king.

It is a textbook endplay.
