Tempers flare in county project talks

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Discussion Wednesday in the Will County Board’s Capital Improvements Committee meeting not only centered on the design of the new Will County Justice Center, but also the potential for owner’s representatives to represent the board’s interests on several projects.

The committee now is meeting twice a month to better oversee construction of the new Will County Sheriff’s Facility, the Justice Center and, eventually, a Health Department building.

The idea to bring in an owner’s representative for each of the projects – which in this case would be a third-party individual or firm temporarily contracted to manage the projects on the board’s behalf – was introduced June 21 by the committee’s leaders.

During that meeting, Nick Palmer, chief of staff for Will County Executive Larry Walsh Sr., defended deputy chief of staff Dave Tkac’s ability – and time – to oversee each project.

Committee Chairwoman Ragan Frietag, R-Wilmington, and Vice Chairman Mike

Fricilone, R-Homer Glen, said an owner’s representative is under consideration because of the sheer workload of overseeing three projects in different phases.

Committee member Denise Winfrey, D-Joliet, said she envisioned the owner’s representative working under Tkac on all projects. Member Chuck Maher, R-Naperville, said Tkac works for the executive’s office, not the board.

But tempers flared and voices rose Wednesday between Palmer and Maher, and to a lesser extent on the part County Board Speaker Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, when Palmer said he found it “insulting” to Tkac’s abilities for committee members to assume Tkac cannot handle the projects on his own and hold accountable the staff from four design and construction firms.

“If his role is not to manage these people, then what is his role?” Palmer asked.

Palmer said he doesn’t see why the committee is so conscious with extra costs but wants to spend potentially several hundreds of thousands of dollars for a third-party manager. A short time later, Maher told Palmer he’d like to remind him that Walsh Sr. has had meetings with officials “all by himself” in the past.

Frietag slammed the gavel several times to stop the argument.

“I don’t want this to be political,” she said. “I want all of us to work together.

We’re doing this to educate ourselves. The tempers are unnecessary.”

Frietag said an owner’s representative and frequent communication with all firms involved will help educate the board, which includes many who are not experienced in construction and development.

Maher and Moustis remained adamant that an owner’s representative needs to work on the board’s behalf to oversee the projects, as the board cannot to do so on a daily basis.

“Gilbane [Construction], Wight [& Co.], Leopardo [Construction], DLR [Group] – they should be reporting to us, not to [Tkac],” Moustis said in the meeting. “To me, that’s a problem. We should be giving [the firms] direction.”

A representative from Justice Center design firm Wight & Co. estimated the owner’s representative position to cost $200,000 a year per project.

No decision was made Wednesday regarding the position, and no mention was made as of when they want to decide by.

Will County courthouse cost estimate is in $200M range

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The new Will County Justice Center could cost more than $200 million based on recent projections, up from original estimates of $150 million to $160 million.

The Will County Board’s Capital Improvements Committee voted Wednesday to set the working budget at $195 million, which provides a guiding dollar amount for Darien-based firm Wight & Co., which is handling the project’s design.

The unanimous vote approved a motion by committee member Jim Moustis, R-Frankfort, who expressed a desire to move the project forward. He said setting a budget figure allows that to happen. Project manager Jason Dwyer agreed, saying one of the purposes of a presentation by the firm Wednesday was to find that amount so a full schematic design with detailed costs can be presented by late August.

Some committee members – including Beth Rice, D-Bolingbrook, and Chuck Maher, R-Naperville – said before voting yes that they aren’t comfortable with spending that much money, but wanted to see specifically what $195 million would pay for.

The latest estimates are based on a presentation of three preliminary designs by the firm.

The first was for eight floors and 26 courtrooms at $180 million; the second was for 10 floors and 34 courtrooms at $197 million; and the third was

for 11 floors and 38 courtrooms at $204 million.

There are 23 courtrooms in the current courthouse – long viewed by court officials as unsafe and overcrowded – as well as six in the nearby Emco building and two at the River Valley Juvenile Detention Center.

The eight-floor building was largely dismissed by the committee because it wasn’t designed for future growth, while the 10-floor option provided room to grow and was more in line with the committee’s budget.

Will County Chief Judge Richard Schoenstedt attended the meeting Wednesday and named among high-priority design elements an appropriate amount of courtrooms and a safe space for all who use the building.

Some requests were removed from the preliminary designs to cut costs, Dwyer said, including secure underground parking for judges.

“There are issues with rock excavation that present a risk to begin with,” Dwyer said.

The committee then would have to explore designating a separate parking lot or structure for judges, both deemed not safe enough.

The firm also removed Will County State’s Attorney’s Office specialty courts, as well as functions of the Will County Sheriff’s Office civil process division, from the plan. The committee noted that the removal would require shifting the location of these departments, and further evaluation of what to do with the current courthouse once vacated.

State predicting 110 mph trains in service by end of 2017

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com The railroad crossing work that started recently in Braidwood is a reminder that high-speed rail is on its way.

The Illinois Department of Transportation has said high-speed rail work from Chicago to St. Louis should be finished by the end of 2017, taking one hour off the train ride that now takes about 5 hours and 15 minutes.

Projects along the way range from railroad crossing improvements, such as those in Braidwood, to the $50 million multimodal facility being built in Joliet.

In Wilmington, a new railroad bridge will be built over the Kankakee River, and IDOT plans to make improvements on two other railroad bridges running through the city.

When all is completed, the maximum speed for trains in the corridor will be 110 mph compared with 79 mph today.

Expectations are that ridership will increase.

The total budget for the high-speed rail project is $1.95 billion. Federal funds account for $1.65 billion. So far, about $1 billion has been spent, according to IDOT.

Joliet multimodal

“Will it attract additional people who will see this as an alternative to driving? Absolutely,” said Steve Jones, director of economic development for Joliet.

High-speed rail was a motivating factor in 2010 when then-Gov. Pat Quinn came to town days before an election and announced a $32 million grant for the Joliet multimodal facility.

Joliet officials back then had promoted the city as the soon-to-be first high-speed rail stop outside of Chicago on Amtrak’s Lincoln Service line that runs between Chicago and St. Louis, although there is also a stop in the Cook County suburb of Summit. Still, city officials suggested the attraction of highspeed rail could be a magnet to draw

Historic Dougall home gets some support

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – There may be hope for the historic home of Dr. William Dougall.

Two residents at this week’s Joliet City Council meeting called for the city to save the house. And, council members questioned why they were not informed of the historic nature of the house before they added it to a demolition list.

The Joliet Historic Preservation Commission last week tabled a vote on demolition, with some members hoping to find another option.

“Perhaps there are some homes that need to be razed around town, but surely this is not one of them,” resident Mary Beth Gannon told the City Council on Tuesday.

Gannon, who was among the leaders in a group that successfully opposed a new marquee design for the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet and now is a member of the Rialto board, urged the city to let the house go to a tax auction.

She said she knows of people interested in buying the house.

“Let’s not rush to judgment and make a decision that can’t be reversed,” Gannon said.

Gannon spoke after Candace Johnson, also a local history enthusiast, called on the city to hold off on demolition to see if a buyer emerges at a tax auction.

“I would like to give someone a

The Dougall Home, which was built by William Dougall in 1872, sits in disrepair at 209 Union St. The Victorian home could be demolished by the city if a buyer isn’t found. chance to fix it up,” Johnson said.

Dougall, in addition to being a local doctor and a chief surgeon in the Illinois & Michigan Canal project, served in the Civil War as captain of the 13th U.S. Colored Infantry, a regiment of black soldiers fighting for the Union.

The 14-room Victorian house is be-

lieved to have been built in 1872. It is in the Joliet East Side Historic District, which is on the National Register of Historic Places. The Dougall house itself is not a registered landmark.

Furniture and artifacts from Dougall’s Joliet medical office are on display at the Will County Historical Soci-

ety Museum in Lockport.

The house, however, has fallen into disrepair and is said to be a mess inside.

The Christ Temple Church of the Apostolic Faith, which is next to the house, acquired it a few years ago with hopes of fixing it up and putting it to use. But the church has been unable to make repairs or keep up with the property taxes, which now total more than $20,000.

Two city council members noted Tuesday that they were not aware of the history of the house when they approved a number of dilapidated properties for a land bank that uses federal funds to demolish buildings that contribute to blight.

“I didn’t know when we voted on this that it was a historic property,” Councilman Jim McFarland said.

Councilwoman Jan Quillman asked whether the matter should be brought back to the council for a re-vote.

“We need to be made aware of these historic properties,” Quillman said.

Neighborhood Services Director Alfredo Melesio already said he would not pursue demolition while the matter was pending with the Historic Preservation Commission, which next meets July 27.

Melesio told the commission last week that the building should have been demolished years ago, but the city waited in hopes that it could be saved in light of its history.

D-204 panel reviews policies, makes meeting suggestions

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Committee members at Joliet Township High School District 204 met for the first time Wednesday to discuss how board agendas could be changed and residents more informed on how meetings are conducted.

The issue on how the board is run came up before at a May 17 meeting.

Some residents had said it is hard to follow along with board meetings and how their questions about board matters could be answered.

Parents, administrators and board members convened Wednesday to review District 204 board policies and make suggestions how the agendas and meetings could be clearer to residents.

“Our agenda in the district has not been changed – I’m going to say – in de-

cades,” Cheryl McCarthy, the district’s superintendent, told the other committee members.

Attending the committee Wednesday were board Vice President Tracy Spesia; board member Tyler Marcum; Tanya Rico, McCarthy’s administrative assistant; Charyll Colstock, former Joliet District 86 board secretary; and district Curriculum Director Alberto Filipponi.

Also at the committee meeting were parents John Sikes and Kenya Simpson, as well as Edna Brass, a retired District 204 administrator.

One distinction that came up during discussions that resonated with Brass was that board meetings are public but not a meeting of the public.

“That nuance is so small, but yet so big,” said McCarthy.

Brass said she did not think people understood that part of board meetings.

“Instead of just taking an item and approving it, give a little history about it.”

“That’s why people show up at a board meeting and feel like they can speak, and I understand why people would feel that way. So, it’s a public meeting, but it’s not a meeting of the public,” she said.

One matter the committee discussed was showing the public board policies when they come up during meetings.

Simpson said the district has to think about people who don’t use computers

or cannot access information to know more about board policies.

McCarthy said it seemed as if what Simpson was looking for was that as the board meetings progressed, they were slowed down a little bit to give more information on agenda items.

“Instead of just taking an item and approving it, give a little history about it,” McCarthy said.

“Giving more details – yeah that would be nice,” Simpson said.

Spesia suggested different areas the committee members could work together to look at further, such as expanding or changing board agendas, publicizing how board meetings operate and making information more accessible.

The committee plans to meet Aug. 3 and Sept. 7 at the district’s administrative center.

Cornerstone Services gets nearly Man loses fingers $1M to assist HIV, AIDS clients in fireworks blast

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Cornerstone Services Inc. has received nearly $1 million in federal funds to assist low-income Will County residents with HIV and AIDS. The Joliet-based disability advocacy nonprofit was the only Illinois organization named Wednesday among the recipients of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s $24 million in renewal grants through the Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS Program, according to a HUD news release.

“It’s a very vital resource to our community,” Cornerstone CEO Ben Stortz said of the services provided through the grant, which will include housing assistance, case management, life skills management and mental health services.

The $926,244 is allocated to Cornerstone for use over three

years. The nonprofit has been a recipient of the grant since 1995, Stortz said. The funds will be used to serve 16 people annually, with a focus on those with HIV and AIDS who also are formerly homeless and have a mental illness, he said.

“This is a high-risk population,” Stortz said.

Cornerstone partner orga-

nizations that assist the demographic targeted by the grant include Stepping Stones Treatment Center, Agape Missions, Regional CARE Association and Metro Infectious Disease Consultants, Stortz said.

Nationally, the grant will help more than 1,200 people and their families a year, the news release stated. Research shows that a stable home is critical to the health of those with HIV and AIDS, and results in better health and reduced transmission of the disease, according to the news release.

“Simply put, housing is health care,” HUD Secretary Juliàn Castro said in the news release.

“We’re proud to continue working with our local partners to provide housing and care for low-income individuals living with HIV/AIDS and their families.”

at Mokena party

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com MOKENA – A Palos Heights man was maimed Monday when an explosive went off in his hand in Mokena.

Mokena Police Chief Steve Vaccaro said the 26-year-old man was attending a Fourth of July party near Willow and Foxford lanes when the incident occurred about 11:30 p.m.

“They’d been blowing off fireworks in a nearby field when he took one out of his pocket and lit it while he was standing at the curb,” Vaccaro said.

“Before he was able to throw it into the field, it went off.”

Frankfort Fire Chief Bob Wilson said an ambulance was called to take the man to Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox with a “non-life-threatening, but serious hand injury.”

According to police and fire reports, the man lost some fingers in the blast.

“He said he wasn’t sure if it was a half-stick or a quarter-stick,” Vaccaro said.

Such fireworks are considered explosives and are illegal to possess.

Vaccaro said no other fireworks were seized at the scene and no criminal charges had been filed.

Huntley police and Potter’s family were contacted, according to the statement, and the family went to Joliet to reunite with Potter, who was healthy other than being confused.

Potter is the grandmother of WNBA player Candace Parker, who grew up in Naperville and plays for the Los Angeles Sparks, according to a Facebook post on Parker’s page. Candace Parker’s father, Larry Parker, is a former standout basketball player at Joliet West High School and the University of Iowa.

Candace Parker’s missing grandmother found in Joliet

Appeals court: Bullet comparison banned in 2002 Joliet murder case

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The case against a Joliet man in connection with a 2002 Joliet murder is in jeopardy after an appellate court upheld a Will County judge’s ruling to bar testimony about evidence that has since been destroyed.

A unanimous decision filed June 30 by the 3rd District Appellate Court agreed that Judge Carla Alessio Policandriotes was protecting Eric Glover Sr.’s right to challenge the evidence against him by prohibiting prosecutors from saying a bullet Glover once admitted to shooting and a bullet used to kill Velma Franklin were fired from the same gun.

Eric Glover Sr. Franklin, 30, was killed June 17, 2002, in the Third Avenue home she shared with Glover Sr. and her four children. Glover Sr. was arrested soon after her death, but was not brought to trial before charges were dismissed.

However, Glover Sr. admitted to detectives he’d fired another bullet into a bedroom wall of the home two months earlier and served time in prison for unlawful use of a weapon.

While the wall bullet and the bullet recovered from Franklin’s body were tested at the same time and matched by lab technicians, Jo-

liet police gave the wall bullet a different case number than the murder investigation and destroyed it after the weapons case was resolved.

The murder charges were renewed by the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office in 2012 after a cold-case review.

The appellate court noted that prosecutors emphasized there is a “statistical 1 percent chance” the comparative tests were wrong to conclude each bullet was fired from the same gun and the destruction was unintentional.

“Most troubling is the fact that without both bullets, the defense could not replicate comparative testing or determine the accuracy of the worksheet notes concerning the physical characteristics of each bullet,” Appellate Judge Vicki Wright wrote in the ruling.

The appellate court also agreed that Alessio Policandriotes’ ruling allows prosecutors to say the now-destroyed bullet was found in the bedroom wall and Glover Sr. admitted he fired it.

“The only evidence excluded as a sanction upon the state was the expert’s conclusion that both bullets were fired from the same weapon,” Wright wrote. “This sanction appears to accomplish its goal of negating any injustice suffered by defendant while allowing the state to continue their prosecution of the case.”

Glover Sr., 44, is being held in the Will County jail on $2 million bond. He is scheduled to appear in court Friday.

“The more inviting the station is, the more likely people are to be drawn to the product, which is why we are so desirous to see the completion of [the Joliet] project,” Magliari said.

Wilmington bridges

Most work along the ChicagoSt. Louis line has been devoted to rail and bridge improvements.

According to IDOT, more than 260 miles of track have been replaced.

Curves have been realigned to allow for faster trains.

In Wilmington, the state plans to replace the railroad bridge that crosses the Kankakee River and improve bridges over Water Street and Forked Creek.

The state is doing an environmental study in the Kankakee River in preparation for that project, Wilmington City Manager Tony Graf said.

“They had a biologist out in the area last week, collecting mussels to do an assessment,” he said.

The city has control over building permits for the two other bridges. Graf said the city has not issued the permits, as it is pressing a case for compensation for expected damages to surround-

ing streets as construction equipment moves in.

“The main issue is that our roads are residential and not built to handle that truck traffic,” Graf said.

Wilmington wants the state to invest an estimated $475,000 in road improvements.

“Otherwise,” Graf said, “the roads are going to be damaged.”

The Braidwood project at Main Street, also Route 113, is designed to improve crossing safety, according to IDOT. The project includes the installation of four-quadrant gates to prevent

vehicles from crossing the tracks while trains pass. There also will be new signs and pavement markings, as well as improvements to pedestrian crossings and sidewalks.

The Braidwood work is scheduled to be completed by July 25, depending on the weather.

An automatic standby generator is a back up electrical system that operates whether you are home or away.

Within seconds of an outage, it automatically supplies power directly to your home’s electrical circuit breaker box. After utility power returns, the generator shuts itself off and waits for the next outage. It operates on natural gas or liquid propane gas and it sits outside just like a central air conditioning unit.

Channahon trustees talk signs, scales for Thorntons

By JEANNE MILLSAP

Shaw Media Correspondent CHANNAHON – After years of waiting and negotiating, a business is set to open at the northwest corner of the Route 6 and Interstate 55 interchange in Channahon.

Thorntons Inc. intends to open a gasoline and convenience store by the end of August. Outlots on the property are available for restaurants and a hotel.

Village trustees dealt Tuesday with some remaining details for the business, including approving the addition of truck weigh scales and associated signage – but not without discussion and several votes against the request for the planned unit development revision.

The issue was the size and brightness of the CAT scales sign that Thorntons requested. CAT wanted the sign to be 106 square feet, with a height of 21 feet on two poles. A CAT representative Kent Jurgerson told trustees the company would like the sign to be its characteristic yellow with black lettering, and lit up from inside to be easily seen by truckers pulling in from the interstate.

Several trustees thought the sign was too large and bright. Village President Missey Moorman Schumacher said it was too obtrusive a sign for “the gateway to our city,” and said she would rather see it smaller and black with yellow letters, rather than yellow with black letters. The lessened glare, she said, will especially matter for attraction of a hotel to the site.

Trustee Mark Scaggs said he thought the village’s sign ordinances were too strict and that the proposed CAT signage would not be detrimental.

Trustees Scott Slocum and Chantal

Host voted against the request to revise the development. After the meeting, Slocum said the appearance of the signage would not be conducive to the village’s image. Host said she felt the same and added that the signage might prevent effective marketing of the remainder of the site to other businesses.

“I felt like they haven’t stayed true to the original plan they submitted,” she said. “This was not intended to be a truck stop. It was intended to be a travel center.”

Trustees approved allowing a significantly smaller, 40-square-foot yellow pre-scale sign on a single pole.

The revision also included bans on cargo transfers. In a previous meeting, Trustee Scott McMillin asked what would keep truck drivers from unloading part of their cargo to another vehicle if their truck was over the weight limit. McMillin said he didn’t want to see Thorntons becoming a parking lot for cargo transfers.

Also included in the revision was a clause to mandate that Thorntons reimburse Channahon for the village’s use of the scales up to 36 times each year. Police can use the scales on trucks they suspect of being over the roadway weight limit, and the public works department can use it to weigh salt trucks to ensure accurate deliveries.

Director of Community Development Mike Petrick said from his calculations, the addition of a scale to Thorntons will not affect truck traffic significantly. Without a scale, he said, predictions are for nine truck visits every two hours. About 10 trucks in that period would frequent Thorntons with the scale.

The fuel fill-ups from the additional traffic alone would generate an extra $86,400 in annual diesel tax revenue to the village, he said.

Abner Mikva, ex-congressman, judge from Illinois, dies at 90

By MICHAEL TARM The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Abner Mikva, a liberal stalwart from Illinois who served in all three branches of the federal government, mentored a young Barack Obama and famously learned firsthand the brazen nature of Chicago’s political machine, has died.

The 90-year-old died of bladder cancer Monday at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Steven Cohen, who is married to Mikva’s oldest of three daughters, told The Associated Press.

Mikva worked his way up from a welfare-recipient family to the Illinois House, U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Court of Appeals’ bench and later the White House as an adviser to President Bill Clinton. But his story about his initial attempt to get involved in Chicago politics became legendary in Illinois.

He described walking into the headquarters of the Chicago ward where he lived in 1948 to ask for a volunteer campaigning job, where the cigar-chomping ward boss asked who sent him. Mikva answered, “Nobody sent me,” and the boss responded: “We don’t want nobody nobody sent.” That punchline became a household phrase in Illinois, en-

capsulating the often-corrupt patronage system of a political machine that gripped the city for decades.

“Ab Mikva was the pol ‘nobody sent’ but Illinois and America are better today because he defied the Bosses and rallied thousands to beat them,” Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin said in an emailed statement.

Obama has said Mikva was one of his political mentors, and awarded him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2014. After Obama graduated from law school, Mikva offered the future president a job as a clerk, though Obama declined.

“No matter how far we go in life, we owe a profound debt of gratitude to those who gave us those first, firm pushes at the start,” he said in a statement. “For me, one of those people was Ab Mikva.

“When I was graduating law school, Ab encouraged me to pursue public service. He saw something in me that I didn’t yet see in myself, but I know why he did it – Ab represented the best of public service himself and he believed in empowering the next generation of young people to shape our country.”

Mikva was saddened by partisan rancor in Washington, according to Brian Brady, national director of the nonprofit leadership ground Mikva Challenge that Mikva helped found.

William Armstrong, ex-U.S senator for Colo., dies at 79

By DAN ELLIOTT

The Associated Press DENVER – William L. Armstrong, a Colorado media executive who became a major conservative voice in the Senate, died Tuesday after a five-year battle with cancer. He was 79.

A devout Christian as well as a staunch conservative, Armstrong served as director of the evangelical group Campus Crusade for Christ after retiring from the Senate in 1991 and later as president of Colorado Christian University in Lakewood, Colorado.

Armstrong was first elected to the Senate in 1978 and served two terms, spending much of his time focusing on economic issues. He sponsored an amendment to a 1981 tax bill that indexed federal income tax brackets to compensate for inflation. He also played a major role in a fight in the early 1980s over putting Social Security on sound financial footing.

In 1981, Armstrong led conservative opposition to

The move forced the administration to come up with a compromise closer to Armstrong’s position. Two years later, as a member of a Reagan-appointed commission to come up with a plan to solve Social Security’s financial problems, Armstrong said proposed solutions were focusing too much on raising Social Security taxes and not enough on cutting future benefits. Armstrong fought for – and lost – his proposal to raise the retirement age for Social Security recipients.

He was also a sponsor and a leading advocate of a proposed constitutional amendment to require a balanced federal budget.

“His strong conservative views mainly centered around economic issues rather than social issues,” said Bob Loevy, a Colorado College political science professor, in a 2012 interview.

STATE

19

By CARLA K. JOHNSON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – The state of Illinois has tried an unusual maneuver to save a health insurer with 49,000 Illinois policyholders from possible financial failure by blocking it from paying a $31.8 million bill to the federal government.

Illinois Department of Insurance Acting Director Anne Melissa Dowling wrote in a June 30 letter to the federal government that she has ordered Land of Lincoln Health not to pay until it gets what it’s owed by the feds – nearly $73 million – under a separate provision of President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act. The order “is designed to prevent an immediate liquidation” of Land of Lincoln Health, Dowling wrote. Making the payment would trigger further state action, and legally could obligate regulators to put the company under state supervision.

“This tells me this company is in really precarious financial straits,” said Robert Laszewski, a health care consultant and former insurance executive who reviewed the letter. “How many more weeks can Land of Lincoln stay in business? It’s weeks, not years.”

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

News from across the state Pfizer agrees to note risks of addiction in marketing

CHICAGO – The city of Chicago and Pfizer announced an agreement Wednesday committing the drugmaker to disclosing the serious risks of addiction in its marketing of prescription opioid painkillers.

Chicago is suing five pharmaceutical companies, alleging they have misrepresented the benefits of opioids while concealing serious health risks associated with the drugs. Pfizer Inc. is not named in that lawsuit, and the city said it found no evidence that the company engaged in any misconduct in its marketing. Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s office said Pfizer has cooperated with the city’s investigation, providing documents and other evidence relevant to Chicago’s claims against other drugmakers.

Prescription opioid abuse is blamed for

“This tells me this company is in really precarious financial straits. How many more weeks can Land of Lincoln stay in business? It’s weeks, not years.”

Robert Laszewski

Health care consultant and former insurance executive Laszewski said he doubts the action will work since federal law trumps state law.

Chicago-based Land of Lincoln’s financial condition has deteriorated rapidly. The 3-year-old startup lost $90 million in 2015 and more than $17 million through May 31.

Illinois Department of Insurance spokesman Michael Batkins said Wednesday the agency is using all available regulatory tools to protect Land of Lincoln (LLH) customers.

“However, lack of payment on certain funds owed” by the federal government “under the Affordable Care Act or further deterioration in LLH’s financial results may impact LLH’s ability to op-

nearly 19,000 deaths a year in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The highly addictive class of narcotic painkillers is used to treat common, chronic conditions such as back pain and arthritis.

“This landmark agreement is a big step in the right direction to help protect and educate the public about the true risks and benefits of highly potent and highly addictive painkillers,” Emanuel said in a written statement. “The use of these drugs has led to a dramatic rise in drug addiction, overdose and diversion in communities across the nation, including in Chicago.”

Mississippi River lock and dam closed after spill

WINFIELD, Mo. – A Mississippi River lock and dam north of St. Louis is closed after a towboat spilled more than 2,000 gallons of diesel while passing through the lock.

The spill from the vessel Jerry Jarrett happened Wednesday at Lock and Dam 25 near Winfield, Missouri, about 45 miles north of St. Louis. The cause of the spill is under investigation.

erate in the future,” Batkins said. The department is watching the situation closely, he said, “so that it can quickly respond to any new developments.”

A safety net provides some protection for Illinois policyholders whose health insurance companies fail. Under the state’s insurance code, the Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association would provide coverage of up to $500,000 for basic hospital medical and surgical insurance or major medical insurance. The association is a private entity made up of state-licensed life and health insurers.

Land of Lincoln owes money in a risk adjustment program under the health care law. The program was meant to balance out the risk if some health insurers’ customers were sicker that other insurers’ customers. Small insurers, such as Land of Lincoln, have said the program is flawed and favors larger insurers with loyal, if sicker customers.

Land of Lincoln Health filed a lawsuit last month in the U.S. Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C., claiming the federal government had shortchanged it of risk corridor payments, a temporary provision of the health care law meant to help unprofitable insurers. At least four other insur-

ers have filed similar claims.

Congress stopped the Obama administration from funding that program beyond what insurers paid into it, with Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida and other Republicans calling the payments “massive bailouts.”

On Wednesday, Land of Lincoln President and interim CEO Jason Montrie characterized the company’s financial problems as “a timing issue.”

The state insurance regulator’s “action is designed to protect the consumers of Land of Lincoln and the marketplace in general,” Montrie said. “Land of Lincoln will commit to do everything in our power to protect consumers and the marketplace.”

Land of Lincoln is one of the Affordable Care Act’s surviving nonprofit insurance co-ops. The co-ops were funded by low-interest federal loans and established to increase competition. But many co-ops – including Land of Lincoln – have been faltering financially.

Nationwide, more than a dozen of the original 23 co-ops have closed. On Tuesday, Connecticut’s insurance commissioner announced that nonprofit health insurer HealthyCT must be placed under state supervision to protect the company’s 40,000 policyholders.

The Army Corps of Engineers said the lock and dam are closed to river traffic to keep the diesel contained.

U.S. District Court warns of false-document scams

CHICAGO – Federal officials are warning residents to beware of scams in which fraudulent court documents seek payments or personal financial information.

The Chicago-based U.S. District Court for Northern Illinois said people have reported receiving emails with official-looking papers that claim to be from the court.

A court statement said some of the documents may tell recipients that they’re entitled to money from a class action settlement. The messages may add that recipients must first send in a payment themselves or provide their financial details before they get any settlement money.

Some documents could include a judge’s forged signature or a forged court seal.

Man involved in robbery that led to crash charged

CHICAGO – A man has been charged in connection with a robbery that led to a high-speed chase and a crash that left two dead and four Chicago police officers injured.

Michael Cokes of Alsip is charged with robbery and is being held in the Will County Jail in lieu of $500,000 bond. It wasn’t immediately known if Cokes has an attorney.

The manager of a Tinley Park fastfood restaurant was robbed Friday in the parking lot as she was heading for a bank. The chase began when Illinois State Police spotted the getaway vehicle on Interstate 57. Several police agencies joined the chase. The suspect car collided with a police vehicle after exiting the expressway.

Two men, 22-year-old Ronald Arrington of Chicago, and 26-year-old Jimmy Malone, whose address was unknown, were killed.

No end to Afghan war: Obama slows withdrawal

By JOSH LEDERMAN The Associated Press

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama scrapped plans Wednesday to cut American forces in Afghanistan by half before leaving office, a dispiriting blow to his hopes of extricating the U.S. after 15 years of fighting. He said he’ll leave 8,400 troops to address the country’s “precarious” security situation.

Obama’s new drawdown plan, announced alongside top military leaders, reinforced the likelihood that the U.S. will remain entangled in Afghanistan for years to come as America works to suppress a resurgent Taliban and train a still-struggling Afghan military. Indeed, Obama said his goal was to ensure the next president has the foundation and flexibility to fight terrorism there “as it evolves.”

Obama acknowledged that few Americans might have expected U.S. troops still would be in Afghanistan this long after the 2001 invasion after the 9/11 attacks. But he said perseverance was needed to prevent al-Qaida from regrouping and the Islamic State group from spreading.

He said if terrorists regain control of territory, they’ll try to attack the U.S. again.

“We cannot allow that to happen. I will not allow that to happen,” he said.

Obama, who had revised the exit plan several times before, had most recently expected to leave 5,500 troops when his term ends in January, down from roughly 9,800 there currently.

His move to slow that withdrawal reflected the

Afghan military’s continuing inability to secure the nation independently, demonstrated by escalating Taliban attacks that have killed scores in recent weeks.

The new plan, announced the day before Obama attends a NATO summit in Poland, marked the culmination of a delicate debate within his administration about how many troops to pull out – if any.

Although U.S. officials said Obama had accepted the Pentagon’s formal recommendation of 8,400 troops, top military leaders had urged the White House to stay closer to the current 9,800. In an unusually public lobbying campaign, last month more than a dozen former ambassadors and commanders urged him to “freeze” the current level for the rest of his term In the end, Obama appeared to settle on a number that would show continued progress toward drawing down without jeopardizing the mission.

Elected after vowing to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Obama has struggled to deliver a legacy of leaving the U.S. less encumbered by foreign conflicts than he found it. Although he’s declared U.S. combat operations over in both countries, the U.S. is still deep in conflict in both, plus major new fighting that has emerged in Syria and Libya since he took office.

In Congress, Republican leaders who favor a larger force said Obama’s new plan was preferable to the old one, but they criticized him for not keeping the full 9,800.

After court decisions, pro-life hope still reigns There’s no getting around the fact that the Supreme Court struck a blow to the pro-life movement in its June decision on a Texas abortion law. There were tears of joy among abortion-rights activists when the decision was handed down. But ideology doesn’t always like common sense, or even common ground.

Moving from Democratic Party rhetoric about “safe, legal and rare” to celebrating abortion as freedom is something we ought to work to declare our independence from.

And there are people doing just that. After the decision, I still saw reasons to be heartened: beacons of encouragement in the wake of the Supreme Court news.

That very same day, Abby Johnson – a former Texas Planned Parenthood director, now a vocal prolife activist – was overflowing with hope. She had just spent a weekend at a rally in Dallas with 550 pro-life women. As she explains it: “It was a beautiful time to come together as women and network with each other, share ideas and decide how to best move forward as a unified front in order to combat the dangerous narrative that is being sold to the women in our society. We came together to proclaim that being truly pro-woman means embracing life, not destroying it.”

She sees these women as an “antidote to the dangerous narrative

VIEWS Kathryn Jean Lopez being promoted by Planned Parenthood.” Having women from across the country on the same page is an opportunity to form a unified counter-strategy to the “war on women” narratives Planned Parenthood and its political candidates tend to drive, news cycle after news cycle, campaign after campaign.

A highlight of the weekend was a panel where mothers talked about their experiences with adoption.

“In the pro-life movement, we need more education on adoption ... how to talk about adoption, how to present adoption as an option and the realities of adoption,” Johnson said. “These women were able to so beautifully and candidly share their experiences in a way that resonated with every woman in attendance.”

Johnson runs a ministry that offers people who work in the abortion industry a way out. She herself knows what it is like to believe you are helping women, and then watch women come back for second and third abortions – and seeing how their lives aren’t better for it.

Her breaking point, she said, was participating in an ultrasound-guided abortion; when you see life and

death before your eyes, it’s hard to look away. There’s got to be a better way, she thought. And now she invites people to join her – including abortion clinic workers who need jobs but want out of that industry.

Johnson said: “I encourage those celebrating this decision to really look at what this is doing to women’s health care. Women have been treated as second-class citizens when it comes to the basic standards of health care for far too long.

It is time for all women to demand better treatment and better regulations.”

I rather liked what Elise Italiano, a senior fellow with Catholic Voices USA, put on her Facebook page that day: “We need to build stronger communities so that an unplanned pregnancy, a death, an injury, an illness, or any burden someone faces is not faced alone. We should be carrying one another’s burdens and celebrating each other’s blessings. In an individualistic and lonely culture like ours, abortion on demand is proposed as a necessary evil. The only real solution is to build communities in which no undue burden is faced alone, but is carried together by many. Let’s be good neighbors, shall we?”

Legislation can obviously only go so far. As Johnson put it: “This ruling only confirms what we already know to be true. While pro-life

legislation is important, our focus cannot simply stop there. Our goal cannot be to simply make abortion illegal ... It must be to make abortion unthinkable. Now is the time for us to step up our support of the organizations that are providing practical assistance to those in need.”

And now also is the time – a point made by Students for Life (SFL) in the wake of the decision – when millennials are open to these messages.

According to a survey SFL and the Barna Group commissioned, “53 percent of millennials think abortion should be illegal in all or most circumstances.”

The Supreme Court will do what it will. But the most powerful voices in our country might not be in the halls of power in Washington, D.C., but rather in our homes and neighborhoods.

It often has been said in pro-life circles that women deserve better than abortion. Women may indeed “mother” us to something better – as mothers and sisters and leaders of a culture of life, welcoming all.

Keep a watchful eye on who gets our Great Lakes water CHICAGO SUN-TIMES A neighbor needed a drink of water. We gave her one.

But at the risk of seeming uncaring, let’s not make this a habit.

Last month, the governors of the eight Great Lakes states, including Illinois, signed off on the first request to take water out of the Great Lakes basin since a 2008 agreement to protect our water went into effect.

The governors held out for several significant revisions in the request from the Wisconsin city of Waukesha, which wanted to divert the water because its wells are

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

tainted with radium. In the end, environmental groups that had been almost universally opposed were mostly satisfied.

But the big question is whether the states will use the power they insisted on to monitor the deal – and avoid making this a bad precedent – in the future. It’s easy to imagine Illinois or New York getting distracted with homegrown issues.

That can’t be allowed to happen.

The Great Lakes don’t provide water just for drinking and recreation. The lakes are the environmental and economic heart of the region, a source of jobs and a means of transportation. They underpin

the region’s entire ecosystem and define our unique identity.

In a world where fresh water is expected to be an increasingly scarce commodity, it’s essential we protect the lakes. Because only 1 percent of the Great Lakes water is recharged each year through rainwater and other sources, shipping water outside the basin could be disastrous.

But the Alliance for the Great Lakes, the Joyce Foundation and the National Wildlife Federation said they are reassured by safeguards added to the Waukesha request.

Although Waukesha will be

permitted to divert up to 8.2 million gallons of Lake Michigan water a day – less than it had requested – it will be required to pipe back a similar amount of treated wastewater into the Great Lakes basin, meaning there is no net loss. Adjoining towns that didn’t need the water were trimmed from the request. Also, Waukesha will be subject to comprehensive audits and enforcement to ensure it is abiding by the deal.

The agreement gives the power to monitor the deal to Canada and the Great Lakes states of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. It is no small responsibility.

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

The Slammers’ Charlie White watches his hit Wednesday against Washington at Silver Cross Field in Joliet.

WILD THINGS 5, SLAMMERS 3

SLAMMERS STALL

Joliet loses, suffers first series loss in over a month

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A day after seeing a late lead slip away in a series-opening loss to Washington, the Joliet Slammers were pleased to collect three runs in the first inning of Wednesday’s game with the Wild Things.

But the Slammers were unable to score again, while Washington staged another rally by tying things in the second inning and adding single runs in both the seventh and eighth to

capture a 5-3 Frontier League win at Silver Cross Field. The game was delayed by rain for over an hour.

As a result of the loss, the Slammers (28-20) suffered their first series defeat since June 2. They had won eight consecutive series and split another one and were 20-9 since dropping the last two games of their series at Evansville just over a month ago.

Joliet saw its first-place lead in the East Division slip to just two games over the Wild Things (25-21) heading into today’s 7:05 p.m. series

finale. However, the Slammers find themselves in a much better spot at the midpoint of the 96-game schedule than they were a year ago when they were six games under .500 at this point.

“In the last couple of days, things have caught up with us a little bit,” Slammers manager Jeff Isom said.

“Our bullpen has been used quite a bit, and we’ve put guys in situations that we probably wouldn’t have put out there. But you also have to figure who and what these guys are, so this

is also a good opportunity for us to do some evaluations on guys.

“We went back out there in the second inning and walked the leadoff guy, gave up a triple and then hit a guy. After scoring three runs, that’s not the way that you want to go out there and do things. We’ve been getting away with a lot of different things, but we’ve got to make sure that we go out and get the leadoff guy after we have a good inning.”

See SLAMMERS, page 23

• SLAMMERS

Continued from page 22 In the first inning, Alfredo Rodriguez walked and went to third on a two-out single by Marc Flores. After Rock Shoulders got an RBI single, Jake Gronsky (3 for 4) doubled to center to drive in two more runs to give the Slammers the early 3-0 lead.

But Washington answered with a three-run second as Grant Fink walked and scored on Logan Uxa’s triple before Alex McKeon was hit by a pitch by Joliet starter Shane Bryant, who went six innings and yielded three runs on seven hits while striking out eight. Austin Wobrock singled in one run and Andrew Heck drove in another with a sacrifice fly.

Wild Things starter Chase Cunningham settled down and didn’t allow another hit until Gronsky got a two-out single in the sixth. Cunningham picked up the win after going six innings while allowing three runs on four hits and striking out three.

A similar scenario played out

VIEWS Dick Goss among the most treasured honors a baseball player can receive. Of course, the first priority on every player’s mind always is to help his team reach the postseason and then go on to win it all.

In that regard, our area has fared well through the years. Haller, Gura, Barfield, Coomer, Bill Gullickson (Joliet Catholic), Ed Spiezio (Joliet Township) and Scott Spiezio (Morris) all had postseason experience. Scott Spiezio played on two world champions – the Angels in 2002 and Cardinals in 2006 – and Ed played on one – the Cardinals in 1967.

Haller, who enjoyed a 12-year major league career, played for the Giants against the Yankees in the 1962 World Series and for Detroit against Oakland in the 1972 American League Championship Series. He went 4 for 14 with a homer and three RBIs in the ’62 series. He finished his career a .257 hitter with 134 homers and 504 RBIs. Gura pitched for 16 years, compiling a 126-97 record. He toiled for the Royals against the Yankees in the ALCS in 1976, ’77, ’78 and ’80, in the 1980 World Series against Philadel-

for Washington in the seventh as it had in the second. Heck led off with a walk and Ricky Rodriguez (3 for 4) was hit by a pitch by reliever Jordan Pannell. After Chris Grayson bounced into a force, David Popkins hit a sacrifice fly to make it 4-3.

One inning later, the Wild Things were back at it after Uxa (3 for 4) led off with a double, McKeon followed with a single and Justin Fox drove in a run with a sacrifice fly.

The Slammers collected two hits in two innings against Devon Davis, who struck out four.

In the eighth, Hunter Ridge singled and Gronsky doubled with one out, but Casey Fletcher was called out on a pitch that looked to be out of the strike zone. Zac Grotz allowed hits to Charlie White and Carter Bell in the ninth but worked out of the jam to earn the save.

After the game, Isom said that Liam O’Sullivan, the starter who went 5-0 with 45 strikeouts and a 3.20 ERA, would be returning to the team. He signed with the Arizona Diamondbacks’ organization but did not pass a physical.

phia and in the 1981 American League Division Series against Oakland.

Gura was seventh in the AL Cy Young voting in 1978, when he went 16-4 with a 2.72 ERA; sixth in ’80, when he was 18-10 with a 2.95 ERA, and ninth in ’81 after finishing 11-8 with a 2.72.

Barfield played against Kansas City in the 1985 ALCS, going 7 for 25, a .280 average, with a homer and four RBIs. He was eighth in AL Rookie of the Year voting in 1982, seventh in the MVP voting in ’85 and fifth in MVP in ’86. He led the AL with 40 homers in 1986, when he won the Silver Slugger Award, and he received Gold Gloves in ’86 and ’87. He totaled 162 assists, leading AL right fielders six times, in a 12-year career where he hit .256 with 241 homers and 716 RBIs. Coomer went 1 for 2 for the Yankees in the 2002 ALDS against the Angels. In his nine-year career, he hit .274 with 92 homers and 449 RBIs. He finished the All-Star year of 1999 at .263 with 16 homers and 65 RBIs. Scott Spiezio hit .255 with 119 homers and 549 RBIs in his 12-year career. His postseason average was .284 (23 for 81) with five doubles, three triples, three homers and 25 RBIs. He had three extra-base hits and drove in eight runs in the 2002 World Series, when he was a candidate for the Series MVP. Ed Spiezio hit. 238 in nine major

league seasons with 39 homers and 174 RBIs. He was with the Cardinals in the 1967 and ’68 World Series, getting an official at-bat in each and going 1 for 2.

Gullickson pitched 14 years in the big leagues and was 162-136 with a 3.93 ERA. He also pitched for two years in Japan. He was in the postseason in 1981, pitching for Montreal against Philadelphia in the NLDS and against the Dodgers in the NLCS. In the two series combined, he was 1-2 with a 2.05 ERA in 22 innings.

Gullickson was second in the NL Rookie of the Year balloting in 1980, when he went 10-5 with a 3.00 ERA, and eighth in the AL Cy Young in 1991 for Detroit, when he finished 20-9 with a 3.90 ERA. Catcher Jeff Reed (Joliet West) played 17 years in the majors. Steve Parris (Joliet West, USF), Mark Grant (Joliet Catholic) and Sean Bergman (Joliet Catholic) pitched for eight seasons. Third baseman/catcher Bill Sudakis (Joliet Township) and outfielder Ernie Young (Lewis) had the same longevity, but neither was in a postseason. Several other area products had big-league careers of shorter duration and missed out on the postseason.

As Cubs’ radio broadcasts are about to begin, Pat Hughes introduces his partner, Ron Coomer, with the tag “former All-Star.”

In fact, the Lockport graduate joined select company when he was selected to the American League squad to represent the Minnesota Twins in 1999.

According to my quick research, Coomer is among four area players selected to an All-Star Game over the last 50 years. The others are San Francisco catcher Tom Haller (Lockport) in 1966, Kansas City pitcher Larry Gura (Joliet East) in 1980 and Toronto right fielder Jesse Barfield (Joliet Central) in 1986.

I started thinking about our area players and the All-Star Game with Tuesday night’s announcement of the 2016 All-Star rosters.

You had to figure there was little chance it would happen, but I did take a second look at the National League pitching staff just in case Washington right-hander Tanner Roark (Wilmington) happened to show up. He didn’t.

After beating Milwaukee on Wednesday, Roark is 8-5 with a 3.07 ERA. He is having a very good season, but all the NL pitchers who made the squad, and a few others who did not, have been outstanding.

From an individual standpoint, being chosen for the All-Star Game is

24 MORRIS SHOOTOUT: MORRIS

More experience fuels Morris’ boys basketball hopes

By ROB OESTERLE

Shaw Media correspondent MORRIS – After a record streak of six seasons with at least 16 wins, the Morris boys basketball team struggled to a 10-18 mark last season, after seeing more than 90 percent of its scoring from the season before leave because of graduation.

That left an inexperienced group for the Redskins, and it took most of the season for them to come together as a team.

However, the experience they did gain was on display last week during the two days of the 31st annual Morris Shootout.

The Redskins finished with a 2-3 record, but the improvement shown in the quality of their play was evident.

Matt Shaw, a senior guard who led Morris in scoring last year with a 14-point average, was happy to see how the team performed.

“We have had a lot of improvement,” Shaw said. “We will have a lot more experience this year. Almost everyone is back from last year. I feel like if we keep improving the way we have, we will have a pretty good year when winter comes.

“We play together pretty well.

We’ve been playing together for a long time and we all know each other’s strengths and weaknesses. We know the system a lot better now, too, so we know where we’re supposed to be, and everyone gets to where they’re supposed to be.”

Morris coach Joe Blumberg also saw plenty of positives from his team, which includes seniors Kyion Willis, Jordan Olson, Jaquan Boxley, Shaw, Delaney Stutzki and Nate Halcomb, and juniors Nathan Wantland, Kam Dransfeldt, Tyler Dunne, Aurelius Lennon-Rios, Blake Breyman, Payton Voitik, Tyler Spiezio and Colin Kingsbury. All but Lennon-Rios, who was on a family vacation, were on hand for the tournament, and all saw plenty of playing time.

One of the downfalls for the Redskins last season was consistency at the guard position, something that Blumberg feels will be corrected this season.

“Obviously, Matt Shaw will be a key player for us,” Blumberg said.

“And he has really been impressive so far with his leadership and maturity.

He’s going to get more physical this year. You can’t expect to be the leading scorer on a team as a junior and not expect to get pushed and shoved and a little extra elbow coming off of every screen as a senior, especially in a physical conference like ours. But he

has stepped up to the challenge so far, and we need him to keep improving.

“Jaquan Boxley has probably improved as much from his freshman

year until now as any player I have had in 10 years. He has really stepped up, and we’d like to see him take some of the scoring load off of Matt.”

With the threats of Shaw and Boxley at guard, the inside combination of the 6-foot-4 Spiezio and 6-3 Halcomb should have more room to operate in the lane. Spiezio averaged eight points and five rebounds last year as a sophomore on the varsity.

“Tyler and Nate both work well inside,” Blumberg said. “With teams focusing on Matt, it should help keep things open for them. And, we sometimes throw it into them with the intent of having them kicking it back out to an open guard, and both of them are very good passers. We really hope to have a more balanced attack this year between inside and outside.

“And, when we have to bring guys off the bench, Colin Kingsbury, Payton Voitik and Kam Dransfeldt all do a good job, so we won’t be losing much when Tyler or Nate have to sit down.”

Blumberg also noted that, although he was happy with the improvement he saw at the shootout, he doesn’t want it to stop there.

“The shootout isn’t the end of our offseason,” he said. “We need the guys to keep working as hard as they can, especially those that aren’t involved with a fall sport. I don’t want to see us lose any of the progress we have made so far.”

As Pro Stock Motorcycle drivers prepare for this weekend’s K&N Filters Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway, they find themselves in a similar situation as those in Top Fuel, Funny Car and Pro Stock, but just haven’t competed in as many events.

While most of the NHRA drivers are 12 races into a 24-race Mello Yello series schedule which is capped by the final six events in the Countdown to the Championship, those on the bikes have reached the halfway mark of their 10-race regular season.

And as has quite often been the case, Screamin’ Eagle Vance and Hines Harley-Davidson teammates Eddie Krawiec and Andrew Hines are at or near the top of the standings.

Krawiec has won three races in four finals appearances while Hines has captured one title and a second-place finish so far this season. In the standings, Krawiec leads with 557 points while Hines is tied with Jerry Savoie with 391 for second place.

The teammates have combined to win eight world championships since 2004 with Hines capturing titles from 2004 to 2006 and again in 2014-15 and Krawiec claiming championships in 2008 and 2011-12.

Krawiec has won every other race this year, taking firsts at Gainesville, Atlanta and Norwalk while placing second to Hines at Charlotte. He also beat Hines in the last race at Norwalk.

The other victor in the division this year is Angelle Sampey, who knocked

WHITE SOX 5, YANKEES 0

MLB

Gonzalez goes 7 innings, Sox shut out Yankees

By ANDREW SELIGMAN The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Miguel Gonzalez pitched five-hit ball over seven innings and the White Sox beat the New York Yankees, 5-0, on Wednesday night.

One night after getting blanked for the fifth time, the Sox returned the favor and handed the Yankees their fifth shutout.

Gonzalez (2-4) matched his longest outing of the season and shut down New York after it pounded out a season-high 20 hits in Tuesday’s 9-0 romp.

Tim Anderson capped a fourrun second with a two-run double off Michael Pineda (3-8), and the Sox won for the sixth time in eight games. They took two of three from New York to capture their fifth straight series, another twist for a team that got off to a 23-10 start and then went into a huge tailspin.

Gonzalez, who went seven innings in a loss at Houston last week, struck out three and walked one. The right-hander was 0-3 with a 7.25 ERA in his previous four starts.

Zach Duke worked 11/3 innings, and David Robertson got the final two outs, striking out Chase Headley with runners on second and third to end the game.

White Sox starting pitcher Miguel Gonzalez delivers Wednesday against the New York Yankees in Chicago.

Jacoby Ellsbury and Didi Gregorious each had three hits for New York. But the Yankees (4143) missed a chance to reach the .500 mark and dropped to 2-4 on a 10-game trip that takes them to the All-Star break.

Pineda, who had a 2.75 ERA in six June starts, gave up five runs and five hits in six innings.

The Sox did most of their scor-

ing in the second, pounding out four runs after Pineda retired the first two batters.

Brett Lawrie singled to ignite the rally and scored from second on a base hit by Avisail Garcia, who came in on a 6-for-46 slump. J.B. Shuck added an RBI ground-rule double to left, putting runners on second and third, and Anderson followed with a double to left that made it 4-0.

Coming home: Dwyane Wade leaving Heat for Bulls

By TIM REYNOLDS

MIAMI – Dwyane Wade is going home, making what he called “an extremely emotional and tough decision” on Wednesday night to leave the Miami Heat after 13 seasons and sign with the Bulls.

Wade will sign a two-year deal with the Bulls, one that will pay him about $47 million. Miami offered $40 million over two years for Wade to stay in the uniform that he’s worn his entire career, the one in which he was an All-Star 12 times, a champion three times and the NBA Finals MVP in 2006 when his rise to superstardom was just truly beginning.

And he’s taken that uniform off now for the final time.

“This was not an easy decision, but I feel I have made the right choice for myself and my family,” Wade wrote in a letter to Miami, released to The Associated Press.

It ends a second consecutive summer of will-he-or-won’t-he talk and worry in Miami, which was able to keep him last summer after contentious negotiations led to a $20 million, one-year deal. The Heat spoke with him Wednesday in New York in an effort to keep him, the same day that Wade also took meetings with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Denver Nuggets.

Whether the Bulls ever got into the same room with Wade was unclear Wednesday night. What was clear was that whatever the Bulls said, and however they said it, was enough to get him out of Miami this time, after they missed on him twice before.

And even more clear was that the lure of home – just as it was for Wade’s close friend LeBron James two years ago, when he left Miami to go back to northeast Ohio and rejoin the Cleveland Cavaliers – was too strong this time to ignore.

“Watching the Bulls growing

up inspired me at an early age to pursue my dream of becoming a basketball player,” Wade wrote in the letter. “My most treasured memories were watching my dad play basketball on the courts of Fermi Elementary School and developing my game at the Blue Island Recreation Center. I have never forgotten where I came from and I am thankful to have an opportunity to play for the team that first fueled my love of the game.”

The 34-year-old Wade joins a Bulls team that has a new point guard in Rajon Rondo – who Wade has had some on-court heated moments with in the past – and AllStar shooting guard Jimmy Butler. The Bulls have plenty of time to figure out how to make it work, and were going through some logistics on Wednesday night to clear the cap space that will be necessary to sign Wade when the NBA’s offseason moratorium on player movement ends Thursday.

REDS 5, CUBS 3

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

Cubs’ Ben Zobrist (right) watches his home run against the Cincinnati Reds during the fifth inning Wednesday in Chicago. ning homer gave the Cubs a 3-1 lead.

But the Cubs didn’t have a hit after the fifth inning. They’re 1-5 in their last six home games after starting 25-8 at Wrigley Field.

“Listen, the big thing we need to do better in the latter part of the game is scoring runs,” Maddon said. “If it’s close, we’re behind or it’s tied we’re just not doing a really good job of finishing off games offensively.”

Cubs trainer’s room: CF Dexter Fowler’s first All-Star Game is uncertain as he recovers from a strained right hamstring. Manager Joe Maddon said the team will decide in the next few days whether Fowler is ready for a minor league rehab assignment. ... C David Ross was placed on the seven-day concussion disabled list after taking a foul ball off his mask Tuesday. While with Boston, he missed much of 2013 after taking foul balls off the mask that May 11 and June 14. ... Tommy La Stella (hamstring) was activated off the DL, started at third and went 1 for 4.

Perfect thief: Cincinnati stole four bases, two by Peraza. He is 12 for 12 in steal attempts, including 9 for 9 this season.

Woodrow Wilson style: The teams wore baggy throwback uniforms with high socks to commemorate 100 years at Wrigley Field. The Cubs and Reds played the first game at what was then Weeghman Park on April 20, 1916.

CHICAGO – The bullpen flopped, the offense disappeared late and the Cubs again couldn’t escape their worst funk this season.

Tucker Barnhart hit a go-ahead, three-run homer off Trevor Cahill in the seventh inning on Wednesday, and the Cincinnati Reds beat the Cubs, 5-3 – the Cubs’ 12th loss in 17 games.

A day after having seven players selected for next week’s All-Star Game, the Cubs lost to the last-place Reds for the second time in three days and dropped below Texas for the best record in the major leagues.

“I can’t connect a bunch of negative dots. It just happened,” said manager Joe Maddon, who believes this poor stretch is more a “snapshot” than a sign of bigger problems.

“I’m not really that concerned,” he said.

Still, the Cubs had been atop the majors since April. Shortstop Addison Russell, part of the entire infield voted in as NL starters, couldn’t explain how they’ve lost their form.

“The past few weeks it hasn’t been working,” Russell said, “but we still have high hopes and high faith.”

The Cubs led 3-1 when Brandon Phillips and Jose Peraza hit consecutive one-out singles against Cahill (13) and Barnhart sent a 2-2 sinker into the basket in center field for his third home run this year.

“It brought everyone to life, I can tell you that,” Reds manager Bryan Price said.

Zack Cozart homered for the third straight game, starting Cincinnati’s offense with his eighth career leadoff homer. The Reds’ lone All-Star, Adam Duvall, walked and scored on Carl Edwards Jr.’s wild pitch in the eighth.

Anthony DeSclafani (3-0) allowed three runs and eight hits in six innings, struck out six and walked none.

Michael Lorenzen pitched two hitless innings, and Tony Cingrani got three straight outs for his 10th save in 15 chances.

The Reds improved to 3-10 against their division rivals.

“We should be more competitive against everybody, I think, once we get our pitching into good shape,” Price said. “I think we’re closer.”

Adam Warren was called up from Triple-A Iowa to give the Cubs rotation extra rest with a spot start, and he allowed three hits in five innings, retiring his final 11 batters.

Russell hit an RBI double in the second and scored on Miguel Montero’s single, and Ben Zobrist’s fifth-in-

LPGA: U.S. WOMEN’S OPEN

Ko, Henderson look to carry rivalry into U.S. Women’s Open

By JOSH DUBOW

The Associated Press SAN MARTIN, Calif. – There is very little separating the top two women’s golfers in the world in Lydia Ko and Brooke Henderson.

The two teenage sensations have won the past three majors heading into this week’s U.S. Women’s Open with the 19-year-old Ko taking two and the 18-year-old Henderson following last month with a thrilling playoff victory over Ko in the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in Washington that could set the stage for a heated rivalry for years to come.

Fittingly, the two will be together when this year’s third major starts at the U.S. Women’s Open at CordeValle on Thursday, less than 100 miles south of San Francisco. Ko and Henderson will play the first two rounds with 21-year-old Lexi Thompson, who is ranked fourth in the world, in the marquee group of the tournament.

“It’s great to watch them both on the golf course and their attitudes and just their demeanors on the golf course,” Thompson said. “They’re aggressive players, and just consistent overall.

You can’t really even find a weakness in their game, and that’s why they’re so good.”

The top three ranked players in the tournament – third-ranked Inbee Park will miss the Open because of a thumb injury – will face stiff competition in the 156-player field that includes nine previous champions, including last year’s winner, In Gee Chun.

Other winners include Michelle Wie (2014), Na Yeon Choi (2012), Paula Creamer (2010), Eun-Hee Ji (2009), Cristie Kerr (2007), So Yeon Ryu (2011), Karrie Webb (2000, 2001) and Se Ri Pak (1998).

This will be the final U.S. tournament for Pak before she plans to retire.

Her win at Blackwolf Run in Wisconsin 18 years ago helped spark the recent South Korean dominance of the LPGA Tour. Seven of the last 11 winners of the U.S. Open have come from South Korea.

“After I came and after I start winning, I have this great success, everybody was thinking, I can do that,” Pak said. “Giving a lot of confidence, built confidence for them. So they’re here, they make it a dream, they make it possible. So I think I was part of it.”

But when the tournament starts, much of the focus will be on Ko and Henderson, who hope to build off the drama they staged last month when Henderson tracked down Ko in the final round with a long eagle putt and a tough

Brooke Henderson, of Canada, smiles after winning the Women’s PGA Championship on June 12 at Sahalee Country Club in Sammamish, Wash. par before winning in a playoff by coolly stuffing her approach into 3 feet.

That gave Henderson her first career major as she tries to match Ko, who had won the previous two with her victory at the ANA Inspiration earlier this year after winning the Evian Championship in 2015.

“Lydia Ko is amazing,” Henderson said. “She’s an inspiration to all of us girls out here, and I think everyone in the world, basically. She’s done amazing things in her career and she’s only a couple months older than I am.”

Henderson followed that up with her third career tour win when she repeated as champion at the Cambia Portland Classic for her third career win and can surpass Ko as the youngest player with two majors with a win this week.

This marks just the third time the U.S. Women’s Open has been played in California and this is the highest-profile event to be played at the Robert Trent Jones Jr.-designed course that opened in 1999. The course, located in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, plays as a par 72 over 6,784 yards, although it could be a bit shorter this week depending on tee locations.

The course finishes with a par-5, 528yard hole that features a water hazard near the green and the possibility of trying to reach the green in two shots for players looking to close a gap on the final day.

The tournament also is the final one to determine who will qualify for the Olympics next month. The top 15 players in the world rankings will all be eligible with a limit of four for any country.

South Korea is the only country with more than two players currently in the top 15. The rest of the 60-player field will be determined by world rankings with a limit of two players a country.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS BEIRUT – Muslims around the world are celebrating the Eid al-Fitr holiday, a time for family and feasting, to mark the end of the holy month of Ramadan and its daytime fasting.

Businesses closed across the Muslim world, as people dressed up and visited relatives, enjoying their first daytime meals in a lunar month.

Mosques hold special prayers at sunrise, and children often are given gifts

or a special allowance.

The holiday lasts one to three days, and is eagerly anticipated after the month of fasting. During Ramadan, the faithful refrain from eating, drinking, smoking or sexual activity from dawn to dusk, with even a small sip of water enough to invalidate the fast, which is one of the five pillars of Islam.

For the world’s 1.5 billion Muslims, Eid al-Fitr is second only to Eid al-Adha, which comes around two months

later.

Ordinarily a festive occasion, this year’s Eid comes after a month of attacks by Islamic extremists that killed more than 350 people in several countries, including a suicide truck bomb in Iraq that claimed at least 175 lives and a suicide bombing outside the Prophet Muhammad’s mosque in Saudi Arabia, one of Islam’s holiest sites.

Wars are raging in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Yemen, as tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran exacer-

bate political conflicts throughout the Middle East. The two powers have cast their rivalry in corrosive sectarian terms, with Saudi Arabia positioning itself as the champion of Islam’s more numerous Sunnis and Iran claiming to lead the faith’s minority Shiites.

In the disputed Kashmir region Wednesday, Muslim protesters hurled stones at Indian police, who fired tear gas and pellets to disperse them.

Here is a selection of Eid al-Fitr photos from around the world.

ABOVE: A Muslim girl looks out after morning prayer Wednesday for Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, at National Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. BELOW: Egyptians try to catch balloons distributed for free after Eid al-Fitr prayers outside al-Seddik mosque in Cairo, Egypt.

Pakistani Muslims offer Eid al-Fitr prayers at a ground in Karachi, Pakistan, on Wednesday. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan, during which Muslims all over the world fast from sunrise to sunset.

Head Start centers receive Governor’s Award of Excellence JOLIET – Catholic Charities, Diocese of Joliet, is pleased to announce that all five of its Head Start centers (located in Joliet and Bolingbrook) have received the Governor’s Award of Excellence for the State of Illinois for Family and Community Engagement.

These programs encourage strong relationships and partnerships between the schools and families in order to enhance children’s learning and development. Each of Catholic Charities’ Head Start locations recognize that children develop within the context of families and communities, and that families, communities and early childhood programs all play a role in children’s development.

The Associated Press PHILADELPHIA – The leader of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Philadelphia says divorced and remarried parishioners should abstain from sex and live “like brother and sister” if they want to receive Holy Communion and haven’t had their previous marriage annulled.

Archbishop Charles Chaput issued a new set of pastoral guidelines for clergy and other leaders in the archdiocese that went into effect July 1.

The guidelines say Catholics in

that their first marriage was invalid – they are committing adultery and cannot receive the sacrament of Communion.

The new guidelines also address Catholics “who experience same-sex attraction.” Chaput says such parishioners can still live out a heterosexual marriage with children, despite that attraction. Others in same-sex relationships should avoid sexual intimacy.

The guidelines, posted on the archdiocese website, urge leaders in the archdiocese to offer compassion, love, guidance and respect to all parishioners.

Chaput says the instructions stem from Pope Francis’ sweeping document on family life released in April. That document – called “The Joy of Love” – opened a door to divorced and civilly remarried Catholics.

Francis didn’t create a churchwide admission to Communion for divorced and civilly remarried Catholics as some progressives had wanted. But in the April document, he suggested bishops and priests could do so on a caseby-case basis in what could become a significant development in church practice.

on Aug. 19, 2012 when their 21-year-old daughter Alisha and unborn granddaughter Ava Lucille were murdered.

They quickly discovered it was difficult to find affordable help to heal from their tragedy. They created Purple Project, in part, to provide hope and affordable support for other parents who are on a similar journey.

Benjamin Scott Allen is a grief recovery specialist and author of “Out of the Ashes Healing in the Afterloss.” He began his grief journey in 1985. Lydia, his wife, received a blood transfusion infected with HIV during the birth of their first child, Matt.

He and Lydia had another child, Bryan, before they were informed of her infection. Consequently, his wife and their two children died, the first being in 1985 and the last death was in 1995. Allen has worked with grieving individuals and groups for decades.

For information about Allen, visit www. theafterloss.com/about/about-benjamin-allen.

The goal of the annual conference is to promote inter-religious dialogue and cooperation in the effort towards cultural and religious tolerance, and harmony and ultimately, peace in the world.

This year, perspectives on gratitude and the teachings of the various faiths along with personal experiences will be shared and discussed by the panelists.

This will be followed by an interactive question and answer session with audience members.

The temple invites and welcomes everyone from the Joliet community and beyond to come with open hearts and join in this unique opportunity.

This event is free and a complimentary vegetarian dinner will be served to all afterwards.

Kriya Vedanta Gurukulam - Temple of Harmony is a non-profit and non-sectarian center for spiritual study, meditation, community service and interfaith activities. The center also teaches the techniques of Kriya Yoga meditation to individuals to further their personal growth and spiritual practice in daily life.

same-sex partnerships, civilly remarried parishioners and unmarried couples living together should not be permitted to serve on parish councils, instruct the faithful, serve as lectors or dispense Communion.

Such “irregular” relationships “offer a serious counter-witness to Catholic belief, which can only produce moral confusion in the community,” the guidelines state, acknowledging it is a “hard teaching.”

Church teaching says that unless divorced and remarried Catholics received an annulment – a church decree

HOROSCOPE

By EUGENIA LAST

Newspaper Enterprise Association TODAY – It wouldn’t hurt to venture into unfamiliar territory this year. The value of seeing the world from a different angle will broaden your perspective and give you a sense of what you should do next. A passionate approach to life will lead to the happiness and contentment you desire.

CANCER (June 21-July 22) – An open mind will lead to positive change. Be the driving force behind what you want to see happen. Opportunity is present; look for it and take advantage of the moment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) – Gauge what is going on around you before you put money or your

word on the line. Promising something without knowing what’s expected of you will lead to a dispute.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) – Don’t sit back when you know you can make a difference. Put a little muscle behind your words and actions.

Romance is in the stars, and personal progress is evident.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) – Keep a low profile.

Don’t make waves or take on something that is impossible. Bide your time, sort out what’s feasible and carry on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) – Plan a pleasure trip. Being in the right place at the right time will be easy if you follow your instincts. Don’t get angry when you can get serious about winning.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Only believe what you can see. Don’t bank on something that someone tells you. Take charge and question anything that appears to be lofty or unreasonable. Work toward your own ends, not someone else’s.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) – A profitable deal will be introduced. Make whatever changes you feel are necessary and follow through with your plans. A partnership will turn out to be advantageous.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) – Personal change will bring you the most satisfaction. Don’t back down in the face of opposition. You have to do what you feel is best for yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) – If you follow through with your ideas, you will find the

success you are hoping for. Plan something special that will allow you to celebrate with the people you love most. Trust in yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19) – Do whatever you have to do to avoid criticism. Once you’ve taken care of your responsibilities, you will be able to focus on the things you enjoy doing most.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20) – Take the plunge and try something new. The people you encounter will spark your interest in something that could encourage you to make a rewarding career shift.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20) – You can offer someone assistance, but don’t lose sight of your responsibilities. Someone will take advantage of you if you aren’t able to say no.

Stress can cause high blood pressure Dear Dr. K: Could stress be causing my high blood pressure?

Dear Reader: You bet it could. It surely contributed to my high blood pressure.

Most of us experience a lot of stress. I’m not sure today’s world is more stressful than the world of our parents or grandparents.

We might have different stressors than they did, but life always has been full of stress.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is on the rise. Like you, my patients often wonder if one (stress) is causing the other (hypertension). It turns out stress can raise blood pressure, sometimes impressively.

The fortunate flip side is reducing stress can lower blood pressure, and also tends to improve overall well-being. Deep, slow breathing is the oldest and best-known technique to decrease stress.

Let’s take a step back to understand how stress affects blood pressure. Stress revs up the autonomic nervous system – particularly the part that makes the hormone called adrenaline. This system directs many processes in our bodies we don’t control with our consciousness, such as our blood pressure and heart rate. For example, we consciously decide to lift a pan to the stove.

But when our blood pressure gets a little low, our autonomic nervous system recognizes and corrects that. We aren’t even conscious of it.

For much of human evolution, our autonomic nervous system has protected us.

When threatened, it helped us to do battle or to run – the so-called “fight or flight” response. But today this response rarely is needed and can be harmful. (An imminent deadline at work should not trigger the same stress response as an imminent attack by a lion.)

We can interrupt our stress response by

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff modifying our reactions to its triggers.

Simply taking a deep breath is one way to start. I spoke to my Harvard Medical School colleague Dr. Naomi Fisher, an endocrinologist at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. She advises her patients, particularly those who are prone to stress, to incorporate deep breathing in a daily routine.

One beginner method is called equal breathing. It is based on inhaling through the nose for a count of four and exhaling for a count of four. With time, this cycle can be prolonged to counts of eight in, eight out.

Another method, called guided visualization, encourages users to hold on to calming mental images as they breathe deeply.

There is only one non-drug treatment approved for hypertension by the FDA, a device called RESPeRATE. It uses musical tones to guide deep abdominal breathing.

Its goal is to reduce the number of breaths to fewer than 10 a minute, and to prolong each exhalation. Clinical trials have shown daily RESPeRATE use lowered blood pressure, sometimes as much as a blood pressure pill would have. This lowering effect also lasted long after each session.

Deep breathing may or may not eliminate the need for blood pressure medications, but it can be helpful. And if you can do it, think about how you might be able to reduce the major stressors in your life.

adult do something she isn’t inclined to do.

However, what you can do is enroll Kaden in sports programs when he visits you during the summer months.

You and your husband also can talk to a family law attorney and find out at what age Kaden will be able to legally request to be placed with you. If Kaden’s mother has been depriving him, it would make a persuasive argument for a change in custody.

Dear Abby: I really like this guy named “Gary.” He’s super sweet, funny, cute and just incredible. He’s my brother’s friend.

I’m in sixth grade and he’s in fifth. I think he might like me back. He asked me to follow his Instagram account, and when I told him to tell my brother hi, he stared at me for a few seconds longer (plus he was smiling the whole time).

How do I tell him I like him? Is it OK for me to ask him to go to the park? His brother and my brother could go, too. – Girl In El Paso, Texas Dear Girl: If Gary wants you to follow his Instagram account, it’s a pretty good sign he has positive feelings for you. If you want to ask him to go to the park, and your parents don’t mind, go ahead and do it. But let me offer a couple of suggestions: If you ask him, do include your brother and his brother because being with others will make it more fun. And, everybody loves a compliment. The compliment doesn’t have to be as blatant as “I like you,” which could embarrass some boys his age. A simple, “I think you’re great because (you’re really smart, you’re fun to be around, etc.)” should do the trick.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have an 8-yearold stepson, Jeanne “Kaden,” whom Phillips I love dearly.

Kaden spends the bulk of his time with his mother on the other side of the country. When he comes to visit us in the summer, his clothing and shoes are always ragged and a few sizes too small.

My husband pays child support and buys Kaden a new wardrobe every six months. Yet every time he comes to us, he’s never wearing anything his dad and I bought him, but what appear to be hand-me-down rags. We have spoken to the mother many times about it, but nothing changes.

We feel if we stop buying clothes for Kaden it would punish him, when it is his mom who isn’t spending the child support money on the boy. We have paid for extracurricular activities (sports) only for her to not take him there. She lies and says he doesn’t want to go, but we get a different story from the boy. He says she says, “Judo isn’t a real sport.” He has gained weight, and we don’t want him to be picked on for it.

The state where the boy lives is not good about giving fathers custody of their kids, and the mom is not necessarily unfit. How can we make her see she’s hurting her child? – Mother

Dick Anderson, a two-time Super Bowl winner with the Miami Dolphins, said, “If we have the opportunity to rebid, we will do so.”

In today’s deal, what should South rebid? How should the auction then proceed? Also, how should South plan the play in four spades after West leads the club king?

South should raise two diamonds to three diamonds. The alternative of two no-trump is unappealing with that weak heart holding. If three notrump is the best contract, probably (though not certainly) North should be the declarer. (Do not rebid two spades. Bend over backwards never to rebid in a five-card suit.)

After South’s raise to three diamonds, North should jump to four spades. Double fits are delicious and generate more tricks in the play than the combined point-count would typically suggest.

South is faced with a potential loser in each suit. There will be a strong temptation to lead a heart to dummy’s king (West should signal with the 10 and East with the queen, both playing the top of their touching cards when they cannot win the trick) and to take the trump finesse.

Here, though, West will win with his king, cash the club queen, and lead a heart. When East gets in with the diamond ace, he can cash the heart jack to defeat the contract.

The spade finesse is a black-suit herring. South should cash his spade ace and play another trump. West wins, takes the club queen, and shifts to hearts, but declarer wins that trick on the board, draws the last trump, and drives out the diamond ace. He loses only one spade, one diamond and one club.
