Readers, I turned off the news As Dallas Police Chief David Brown talked Friday morning about the officers who were lost and injured in the ambush shooting the night before, I did something I rarely do.

I turned off the news.

I’d just had enough.

I live and breathe the news. The only professional job I have ever done is report the news. The newsroom’s TV is always tuned to a 24-hour news channel. I check news apps when waiting in line at the store to catch up on the latest events.

But Friday, I didn’t want any more news. My heart was done.

Earlier in the week, I watched reports about Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in a suburb of St. Paul, Minnesota – both black men killed by police officers. The videos from each incident were horrible to watch – the latest senseless deaths in a string of the killings of black men by police.

And then to see police officers picked off by a sniper was nothing short of wicked.

These officers were protecting the rights of the protesters – who had been peaceful – to

assemble and to speak their minds. As the bullets flew, and others took cover, these officers ran toward the gunfire.

“We are heartbroken,” Brown said during a news conference Friday. “There are no words to describe the atrocity that occurred to our city.”

I’ve spent the better part of Friday trying to find words to describe it, but like Brown said, none seem sufficient when you’re talking about dead police officers.

As kids, we assume we will encounter questions about the purpose and meaning of life. There seemed to be, fueled perhaps by the innocence of being a child, the equal assumption that even if they took a while to find, those questions would have answers.

But the world has become, it seems, increasingly unknowable and unrecognizable in recent years. Answers seem to

be few and far between. Hope has become a precious commodity that – at least when you listen to the news we’ve heard throughout the last week – seems fleeting.

The hope I clung to Friday morning was that I turned off the TV because my heart was too full of sadness to hear any more. And hopeful still were the calls for solutions – demands that we find ways to improve race relations, to build trust with law enforcement officials who face realities most of us can’t fathom and to find ways to unite around our similarities instead of divide ourselves due to our differences.

The day when we turn away from such reports because we have given up, because we can’t spare the emotion it takes to care about the deaths, much less find the energy to try to implement solutions ... well, that’s the day I hope never arrives.

Stopgap budget may not be for everyone

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com Social service agencies and even some local governments still are trying to find out if they are included in the state’s stopgap budget more than a week after it was passed.

Public school officials and local mayors breathed a sigh of relief when the stopgap budget was approved June 30, assuring that state aid and other revenues that typically flow to local government would keep coming at least until the end of the year.

But other agencies still are trying sort out what money, if any, they will see from the emergency budget.

“We don’t know,” said Sue Olenek, executive director of the Will County Health Department. “State program staffs are sifting through that now and trying to determine who gets paid and how much.”

The Health Department already has reduced staff and services. But deeper cuts were averted when county officials shared revenue in anticipation that the state eventually would pay $3 million owed to the de-

partment.

Olenek said she is hearing mixed reports about what might get paid.

“We’ve heard from some program staff that we’ll get 100 percent. For other programs, it’s 65 percent,” she said. “We don’t know.”

Likewise, Stepping Stones Treatment Center in Joliet is getting mixed signals while waiting to find out if the stopgap budget has money for the agency, which is owed nearly $300,000 for services contracted with the state last year.

The nonprofit, which treats people for substance abuse, had to stop providing services to many of its clients earlier this year because of the state funding shortfall.

Stepping Stones Executive Director Pete McLenighan said staff at the state’s Department of Human Services and Department of Corrections have been trying hard to supply answers about funding.

“I want to give them kudos,” McLenighan said. “I think the administration staff is trying to sort out what is being paid from fiscal year 2016 and what is for fiscal year 2017.”

One of the biggest unpleasant discoveries in the stopgap budget came last week as college students began to find out that while they will get financial aid through the Monetary Awards Program, known as MAP funding, owed from last year, nothing is budgeted for the coming year.

Some good news

The stopgap budget does finally release money owed to the Joliet Park District.

The district finally is getting federal grant money that will be used to buy the Hoberg woods and add that land to Pilcher Park. The money passes through the state, which has held onto it for more than a year.

“They were able to get it in the budget,” said Tom Carstens, executive director for the park district. “We’re very excited about it.”

The good news for counties, cities and villages is that the stopgap budget means that they will continue to receive their share of income taxes. For Joliet, it means that the city will continue to get casino taxes, which the state held onto for several months in 2015.

About 40 peaceful demonstrators raise their fists in solidarity for peace Saturday during a rally outside the Will County courthouse in Joliet.

‘I WANT MY PEOPLE TO BE EMPOWERED’ Joliet demonstrators raise fists for peace, unity in wake of week’s shooting deaths

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Garland Mays has cried over the violence that occurred during the past week.

Mays stood Saturday in front of a gathering at the Will County courthouse, where attendees raised a fist in solidarity and peace, following a pair of fatal shootings of black men by police in Minnesota and Louisiana, along with

an ambush shooting in Dallas that left five police officers dead, and another seven officers and two civilians injured.

“This week has been a terrible week,” said Mays, who is president of the Forest Park Neighborhood Council in Joliet. “I cried several times. I cried over Minnesota. I cried over Louisiana.

I cried over Dallas. Many people have lost their lives over this insanity. … But we have to get involved.”

Community involvement was a mes-

sage stressed by many at the demonstration, who urged residents to hold local officials more accountable, take ownership of their communities and promote peace and unity within them.

About 40 people gathered about noon alongside Jefferson Street outside the courthouse with their fists in the air.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said he was aware of talk of a gathering on social media. Police would have been happy to assist, but no officers were as-

signed to do so because there wasn’t an indication that was needed, he said.

Police have been doubling up in Joliet on patrols in light of the shooting in Dallas.

Many of the demonstrators stepped forward to talk about community involvement, racism, oppression and how the past week affected them. Some lamented a shooting Friday in Joliet

In wake of Dallas shooting, Joliet police to double up on patrols

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com and BOB OKON bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Joliet, like some other cities around the country, is doubling

up police officers on patrols this weekend as an extra precaution in light of the Dallas shooting that killed five law enforcement officers.

The measure was taken as police departments across the country consider not only the shootings in Dallas

but other incidents in which police have been ambushed.

Joliet Mayor Bob O’Dekirk said not only is there worry for police safety, but residents Friday expressed concern that levels of police enforcement could be lowered.

“I received a number of calls and emails from people who were concerned about the safety of police, but they also asked if police services are going to be compromised,” O’Dekirk

The shadows of demonstrators are seen on a sidewalk Saturday during a rally outside the Will County courthouse in Joliet.

that left a 34-year-old woman dead.

“I’m holding up my fist in solidarity because I want my people to be empowered. Everybody is my people,” said Amy Sanchez of Joliet, who noted Saturday’s demonstration was organized by many people and not affiliated with any specific group.

She told the crowd everyone has a right to due process and it’s nobody’s right “to take that due process away from you at a traffic stop.”

Crystal Abbott of Joliet said she was tired of the violence.

“This sidewalk should be packed right now,” she said. “I feel like it should be way more people out here than this. I know I’m not the only one tired.”

More people need to attend government meetings such as those held by school boards, townships and city councils, said Mike Clark, president of the Joliet branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.

“I’ve been at too many of these meetings where we’re not represented,” he said.

He told people to get involved.

“Everything that goes on in this city is our responsibility. We have just as much on the line as anybody else,” Clark said.

Alicia Morales, who serves on the Joliet Junior College Board of Trustees, told the crowd she wanted to be held accountable by the community and asked what the college could do for them.

She said Joliet is a diverse city and people need to stop fearing each other.

“When our police don’t look like us, guess what? They don’t get us. And then what happens? They fear us, and then tragedy happens,” she said.

Joliet resident David Turner introduced himself to the crowd as an endangered species – a black man.

“Last month, I was blessed to make it to age 50. Many of my friends, many of the guys I grew up with, didn’t make it to 18,” he said.

Like others, Turner said people need to care more about each other.

“No matter what color you are, no matter what your sexual orientation [is] … if you’ve been in jail, not been in jail.

Whatever,” he said. “We’re all human beings.”

Welter named state rep for 75th district

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Republican David Welter of Morris has been chosen unanimously by the 75th Legislative District Appointment Committee to fill the term of former State Rep. John Anthony.

The committee, composed of Grundy County Republican Chairman Aren Hansen, Will County Republican Chairwoman Kathy Havel, Kendall County Republican Chairman James Marter and LaSalle County Republican Chairman Don Jensen, interviewed eight applicants over the course of a seven-hour meeting Saturday in Morris.

“This was a challenging decision for the committee because of the depth of talent of all the applicants,” Hansen said in news release announcing the selection. “While we are all going to miss John Anthony, we have no doubt that David Welter will continue his efforts in Springfield and represent the constituents of the 75th district with integrity and zeal.”

Welter said he was honored to be chosen to represent the district.

“I want to thank the chairmen for

I look forward to representing all of the 75th district and I can’t wait to get out and meet the people of the district.”

Woman killed in Joliet shooting

By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A 34-year-old woman was killed in a shooting late Friday in Joliet.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton said the shooting happened about 11:45 p.m. in the 500 block of South Joliet Street.

A group of people had been sitting on a porch when they heard shots ring out and fled inside, he said.

A 34-year-old woman – who was with the group sitting on the porch – was struck in the back by a single shot and taken to Presence Saint Joseph Medi-

Police do not have any motive in the shooting or suspects as of early Saturday afternoon, he said.

As of Saturday evening, authorities had not released the name of the victim.

Welter, who has served on the Grundy County Board since age 19, was appointed Grundy County chairman Dec. 1, 2014, and currently holds the position.

“I am extremely impressed by the

level of experience, professionalism and accomplishments that Mr. Welter has packed into his six years in public service,” Marter said in the news release.

“David’s passion, youth and energy will be an asset to the residents of the 75th district.”

Anthony, R-Joliet, resigned June 17 and was named executive assistant to the director of the Illinois Department of Corrections on June 20, according to the department website.

Welter will fill the 75th district house seat until the current term ends in January. He will also appear on the November general election ballot as the Republican candidate for the position in a race Anthony was originally slotted to run against Democrat Martha Shugart.

Anthony was appointed to be the 75th district representative in August 2013 when previous state Rep. Pam Roth, R-Morris, stepped down when she moved to Texas. In November 2014, Anthony won the seat when he faced off against Shugart.

The date for Welter’s official swearing in will be released in the coming days and his contact information will be made available after the swearing in.

LOCAL BRIEF Police: Joliet package thief arrested

JOLIET – A Joliet man has been charged with mail fraud after authorities allege he took packages left on porches.

Joliet Deputy Police Chief Al Roechner said authorities were notified earlier after two packages were taken about Mitchell J. Wilbanks 4:20 p.m. June 15 from a residence on Western Avenue in Joliet.

Investigators reviewed surveillance footage from the area and saw Mitchell J. Wilbanks, 24, was following a mail carrier down the street and took the items right after they were delivered, Roechner said. Wilbanks was known to police and identified from the surveillance footage, according to Roechner.

Wilbanks, of the 300 block of Ruby Street, was booked Thursday into the Will County Jail. According to jail records, he was arrested on a charge of domestic battery in July 2014.

JOLIET – The Cass Street bridge now is scheduled to close July 18 for a paint job expected to be completed in the fall.

The bridge was to be closed July 5, but the start of the project was delayed.

The Illinois Department of Transportation issued a news release Friday saying the bridge will be closed for painting and cleaning to protect it from deterioration. The bridge will only be painted at street level and below.

The state last month completed a similar project on the Jefferson Street bridge.

Both are among the drawbridges that cross the Des Plaines River in downtown Joliet.

IDOT noted the start and end dates on the job depend on the weather. The agency would say only that the project will be completed sometime in the fall.

Cass Street only runs westbound on the bridge.

A detour will be posted directing traffic on Cass Street, also Route 30, to Route 53 by going north on Scott Street, then west on Ruby Street, and north onto Broadway Street.

Motorists will take Broadway to Theodore Street, and then go west before reconnecting with Route 30 at Plainfield Road.

10 Third rabid bat reported in Will

Co.; Crete woman bitten twice The HERALD–NEWS

JOLIET – A third rabid bat has been reported in Will County after a woman in Crete was attacked by the animal and bitten twice, according to a news release from the county executive’s office.

The woman was cleaning a swimming pool at a home in Crete when the bat bit her on the neck and hand.

While trying to protect herself from the attack, she injured the bat and it fell to the ground.

“The woman called our office because she was concerned the bat was badly injured,” said Dr. Leroy Schild, director of Will County Animal Control, in the news release. “We picked up the animal to be tested and found the bat was rabid.”

Schild instructed the woman to go to the nearest hospital for treatment.

County residents are reminded to follow these guidelines to protect themselves and their families from rabies: • Do not feed, touch or adopt wild animals or stray dogs or cats.

• Vaccinated pets serve as a buffer between rabid wildlife and humans, so dogs and cats should be up to date on rabies vaccinations.

• Do not allow pets to roam free.

• Do not attract wild animals to your home or yard. Store birdseed or other animal feed in containers with tight-fitting lids. Feed pets indoors. Make sure garbage cans are tightly closed. Board up any openings to your attic, basement, porch or garage. Cover chimneys with screens.

• If a wild animal does come onto your property, let it wander away. Bring children and pets indoors and alert neighbors. If the animal is acting abnormally, contact local animal control.

• Encourage children to immediately tell an adult if they are bitten or scratched by an animal. Teach children not to approach or touch any animal they do not know.

• Report all animal bites to local animal control.

July, August and September are prime months for area bat exposures.

Report any contact with a bat or other warm-blooded animal to the nearest animal control authority as soon as possible.

Will County Animal Control is available 24 hours daily at 815-462-5633.

BRAIDWOOD

Jaslyn Holloway, 3, coughed up ‘2-coffeecups-worth’ of water

More online Visit this story at TheHerald-News.com for video of the gathering of the life-saving team.

By MIKE MALLORY

Mike Mallory - mmallory@shawmedia.com

The Holloway family of Romeoville poses Friday with first responders who helped save the life of 3-year-old Jaslyn Holloway (pictured in her mother’s arms) from a near drowning July 2 in Braidwood. to Presence St. Joseph Medical Center in Joliet.

“Right before we got to the hospital, she coughed up about two coffee mugs worth of water,” Jude said.

At the hospital, EMS trauma nurse coordinator Leslie Livett and nurse Kathy Leclear worked to further establish an airway for Jaslyn to breathe. She was then transported to Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn via ambulance where she was placed on a ventilator.

It was removed Monday, and Jaslyn went home Wednesday.

On Friday, the Holloway family and all first responders involved except Johnson – along with Levitt and Leclear – gathered at the Braidwood Fire Station for a celebration of the life-saving day.

In the past week, Randy said he has gotten six to eight hours of sleep,

as he and his wife were by their daughter’s side around the clock.

“Everything has been so hazy,” Randy said. “It’s an eye-opener at the very least.”

Shorkey said continued training can be a drag for a first responder – but in situations like this, the extra work proves it saves lives.

“We also invested in pediatric equipment as a department, and this is where it pays off,” Shorkey said.

Livett, with tears in her eyes, praised the teamwork of all who came together to save a young girl who has the rest of her life in front of her.

Schmidt thanked them as she held a shy, sleepy Jaslyn in her arms.

“You guys are amazing,” she said.

“Thank you so much.”

BRAIDWOOD – The Holloway family was having fun July 2 at a relative’s house in Braidwood when suddenly the life of 3-year-old Jaslyn Holloway flashed before their eyes.

Randy Holloway had just arrived and greeted his three daughters; the Romeoville residents were enjoying some pool time at their aunt’s home.

A couple minutes later, Jaslyn fell into the pool.

Her older sister, Shannon, jumped in and grabbed her, and quickly passed her to Randy. The children’s mother, Jennifer Schmidt, administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation until Braidwood police officers Chris Altiery and Phil Tyree arrived moments later after responding to WESCOM dispatcher Marie Johnson’s report of a “3-year-old who was unconscious and not breathing.”

Jaslyn was barely breathing as Braidwood Fire Department Lt. Chris Jude and a team of three medics hopped out of the ambulance that pulled into the long driveway, and Capt. Mike Shorkey arrived from his home, starting his shift early.

The first responders realized Jaslyn had a pulse, and followed protocols that mandated they get an airway established and an IV implemented. Shorkey tried to get a helicopter to the scene, but when that was unsuccessful, Jude and his crew maintained an airway and suctioned as much water as they could from Jaslyn’s lungs on the 20-minute ride

12 Warren-Sharpe Community center

receives $10K grant to grow garden

By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Warren-Sharpe Community Center garden and urban farm has received a $10,000 grant through Will County to help it grow.

The funding is among more than $200,000 in Green Region grants from ComEd and Chicago-based conservation nonprofit Openlands that were announced Thursday for 22 Illinois municipalities, according to a news release from the two organizations.

Will County, which is partnering with Warren-Sharpe to provide the funds for the nonprofit community center, was the only county named as a recipient.

“We’re real excited about this grant,” said Tammy Reiher, public information officer for the county executive’s office.

The garden and urban farm was launched in 2014 and occupies five lots (which were donated by the city of Joliet) adjacent to the community center at 454 S. Joliet St. According to Warren-Sharpe CEO Kay Bolden, the grant funds will go toward fencing the lots, maintaining a nine-month microgreen growing cycle, expanding overall yield

and installing hand-washing stations.

“It’s very empowering,” Bolden said of the garden and urban farm, which is tended by the center’s volunteers, clients and program participants. “It also teaches the kids and the families about making healthy choices.”

The crops go to children who attend day camp at the center, to the Warren-Sharpe food pantry and – this year for the first time – to the community table at Joliet’s downtown farmers market.

Bolden said Thursday’s announcement marks the first time Warren-Sharpe has benefited from a Green Region grant and that ComEd’s involvement in the funding has a special significance, as ComEd employees volunteer annually at the garden and urban farm.

“Our Green Region 2016 grantees are all doing their part to ensure that their open spaces are protected and preserved,” Fidel Marquez, ComEd senior vice president of governmental and external affairs, said in the news release. “Each community is working on a unique project … and we are excited to help them advance their green initiatives.”

Economic Development Project Areas extended

Join us at the Temple of Harmony 3400 Earl Dr., Joliet, IL 60431

Legislation allows expansion through 2021

Interfaith Conference

By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – The Grundy Economic Development Council is celebrating the passing of House Bill 694, which was signed into law June 30 by Gov. Bruce Rauner and will extend a portion of the GEDC’s Project Area 1 until 2021.

Nancy Ammer, the council’s CEO, said area legislators pulled together and worked to get support for the law.

“We have two [Economic Development Project Areas] in Grundy County that were established to help to mitigate the [machine and equipment] tax,” Ammer said. “The extension will cover 120 acres of the 12,000 acre EDPA 1 area where Competitive Power Ventures is building its Three Rivers Energy Center.”

Grundy County’s M&E tax is a

unique taxing structure under which heavy industrial machinery and equipment are taxed as real property. The state’s other 101 counties classify machinery and equipment as personal property, which is not taxed in Illinois.

The EDPA is similar to a tax increment financing district and is designed to lessen the impact of the M&E tax.

When the first EDPA was formed in 2006, the assessed valuation was frozen within the district. As the assessed valuation within the EDPA increases, the additional property taxes are placed in a special fund to assist industries to build in the area, and to help offset the M&E tax.

EDPA 1 was set to expire about halfway through the CPV project, which Ammer said makes it difficult

“Our region is a hub for the energy industry, and the proposed CPV Three Rivers Energy Center will create hundreds of good-paying permanent and temporary jobs for people in our communities,” state Rep. Kate Cloonen, D-Kankakee, said in a news release. “House Bill 694 will help boost the construction of this plant and investment in our workers and communities.”

The 12-year extension of the 120 acres will allow CPV to make clearer projections as it builds a 1,100 megawatt combined-cycle power generation project in an unincorporated portion of Grundy County.

According to a GEDC news release, the energy facility located 50 miles southwest of Chicago represents a $1 billion private investment in Illinois infrastructure that will bring more than 500 union jobs during the 30-month construction phase, 25 well-paying jobs to operate the facility, and another 75 indirect jobs to support facility operation.

to Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital in Downers Grove, Steffes said, while the other was taken to Morris Hospital.

According to Grundy County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Chief Ken White, the three drivers were the only people involved in the crash, which White said occurred as the motorcyclists crossed a bridge in the area.

The Grundy County coroner’s and sheriff’s offices are investigating the incident.

The scene of the fatality is near the site of another recent deadly crash.

On June 21, Mark and Janice Wendling, of Morris, were bicycling in the area when they were struck from behind by an SUV driven by a 16-year-old.

The SUV belonged to Morris Elementary School District 54 Principal Chris Maier, according to the crash report.

The teen has been cited with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident, but the case remains under investigation.

JOLIET — State Sens. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, and Pat McGuire, D-Joliet, along with Rep. Natalie Manley, D-Joliet, have scheduled a town hall meeting later this month.

The town hall will be to discuss legislative issues and will be held from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. July 19 at the Joliet Public Library, Black Road Branch, 3395 Black Road, according to a news release from the lawmakers.

“I always appreciate the opportunity to have an open dialogue with my constituents about state and local issues,” Bertino-Tarrant said. “I look forward to answering questions from people who attend.”

MINOOKA – Jennifer J. McDannald, a native of Minooka and daughter of Joyce Grote and Len Grote (deceased), recently was promoted to the rank of colonel in the U.S. Army.

More than 150 people, including many of McDannald’s relatives, attended an April 18 ceremony at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland, to see McDannald pin on her new rank.

Her mother, Joyce, was grateful she could make the trip to witness the promotion.

“I am so proud of her, and all she has accomplished,” Grote said. “It warmed my heart to see all of those people in attendance to celebrate her accomplishment.”

McDannald currently serves as the deputy director of the Army Public Health Center, or APHC, headquartered at APG, Maryland.

Before accepting her current position, McDannald served as the deputy director of business operations at APHC. After graduating from Minooka Community High School, McDannald earned a Bachelor of Science degree in psychology from the University of Iowa. She later earned a master’s of public health degree from the University of Illinois at Chicago.

She then joined the Army, and decided to specialize in environmental science and engineering. Her talent, combined with leadership ability, allowed her to be promoted to positions of increasing responsibility.

McDannald comes from a proud military family. Her husband, Donald, is also an officer in the U.S. Army.

As a woman in the military, McDannald is frequently balancing work and family obligations. She is the mother of five children: Jacob (23), Derrick (22), Stephen (20), Hannah (15) and Cooper (12).

When she is not working as a leader of troops, she enjoys supporting her children as they participate in their many extracurricular activities.

“My parents taught me to always put my family first,” McDannald said.

“In our home, we were taught respect for others.”

It is that consideration for others that has allowed McDannald to succeed. She served as a mentor to many junior soldiers and civilians throughout her career.

“I believe in seeking out an individual’s strengths and building upon them,” McDannald said. “A good leader knows how to bring out the best in others.”

McDannald’s previous military assignments include Chief of Environmental Health, U.S. Army Medical

“No matter where the Army sends my family and me, I will always think of Minooka as home. Though Minooka has grown significantly since I lived here, it still has the same small-town feel and sense of community that I value.”

Minooka native promoted to colonel in Army

Organist is a Marseilles institution

By MIKE MURPHY The (Ottawa) Times

MARSEILLES – To realize how long Shirley Smith has been playing the organ at Marseilles’ Trinity Lutheran Evangelical Church, keep in mind the church celebrated its 150th anniversary on May 22. She has been pianist and organist for 74 years – nearly half that time.

“That didn’t dawn on me until we were planning [anniversary] services. That church means so much to me,” the lifelong Marseilles resident said.

Smith started early, at age 12, playing the Trinity Lutheran piano beginning in 1942. The original church burned down, and she’s played on two different organs, but the 86-year-old has no plans on stopping.

“I always say until the notes aren’t in the right place and I can’t read the music, I’ll do it. It’s a service to the Lord,” she said.

The Rev. William Chormann, Trinity Lutheran pastor for three years, admires Smith’s dedication and longevity.

“I’m almost 74 years old.

All the places I’ve been – 4,000 weekends, Shirley was playing the organ. That’s amazing,” said Chormann, former pastor at Ottawa’s Zion Lutheran Church.

If ever there was a person to be a Trinity Lutheran institution, it would be Smith.

She grew up just south of the church. Smith’s son, Michael, resides in the home, and Smith herself lives with her

pastor Trinity Lutheran has employed since Smith began playing. He said she is invaluable regarding the history of the church, where she served as recording secretary, taught Sunday school and is former president of Lutheran Women’s Missionary League.

“We’re a small congregation, but we’re a family.

God is with us, and when I come here, this is my second home,” Smith said.

Still, the church she has known all her life has changed.

“I don’t think the church today is as relevant as it was.

People don’t bring their kids to church. They get married on a beach instead of the church,” said Smith, noting the church isn’t as much the Tom Sistack/Ottawa Times via AP center of activity for most Shirley Smith, Trinity Lutheran Evangelical Church’s organist since 1942, plays May 12 at the church in people.

NEW YORK – Wendy’s said hackers were able to steal customers’ credit and debit card information at 1,025 of its U.S. restaurants – including at least four in the Will County area.

The hamburger chain said Thursday hackers were able to obtain card numbers, names, expiration dates and codes on the card, beginning in late fall. Some customers’ cards were used to make fraudulent purchases at other stores.

When you search Illinois in the Wendy’s “impacted restaurant search” online tool, cities in Will and Grundy counties that appear on the list of potentially affected locations are: • Joliet, 110 S. Larkin, from Oct. 27, 2015, through Feb. 14, 2016 • Minooka, 105 N.

The (Carbondale) Southern Illinoisan CARTERVILLE – When Heather Reno assumed the job of Carterville’s top cop on June 29, 2015, the department had been through rough times.

Reno, who spent more than 20 years with Carbondale Police Department and was the department’s highest-ranking female officer, replaced Monty Jeralds as chief after the Carterville City Council voted to demote him Feb. 24, 2015.

“It was very challenging initially.

Change is really hard for people, and the department had to make changes,” Reno said.

The department was in a holding pattern, in part because officers did not know who their boss was going to be or what changes would be made.

“Everyone was understandably anxious,” Reno said.

Reno said it probably took six months for things to settle down and for her to get a feel for the department.

And changes have been made.

The biggest changes in the office have been the addition of technology, including a new electronic records management system. Before moving to the new system, which was implemented this spring, all department records were on paper.

Illinois agency urges foster parents to take in LGBT youth

CHICAGO – Illinois’ child welfare agency is urging more foster parents to take in homeless LGBT youth, describing the situation as a desperate one for thousands of young people.

The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services held a recruitment seminar Saturday to provide prospective foster parents with information about the process. It said it was specifically looking for foster and adoptive families within Chicago’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

The event was held at the University of Illinois at Chicago.

Carterville Police Chief Heather Reno pauses in her office June 28 in Carterville. Reno reflected on her first year leading the Carterville department.

AP photo

For example, if Reno received a request from the Department of Children and Family Services for the number of times officers had been to a home or had contact with a family in the past six months, she had to read through six months of officers’ daily activity logs and arrest records.

“That was really significant,” Reno said. “You don’t think about people operating without technology.”

Officers are getting used to the system, which can store pictures and generate a photo lineup, and allows officers to access information with a couple of clicks of a mouse.

The department used a white board

“We desperately need more adults in the LGBTQ community and allies to help foster our LGBTQ youth in care,” said Jane Kelly, the department’s statewide LGBT coordinator.

“Many of our youth come into care when they are told to leave their homes by their own families because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.”

There are an estimated 25,000 homeless youths in Illinois in any given year, according to the Chicago Coalition for the Homeless and the Illinois Department of Human Service.

Nationally, up to 40 percent of homeless youth identify as LGBT, according to the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force.

Woman accused of Facebook threat against police

EVERGREEN PARK – A suburban Chicago woman is accused of posting a threat on

for case communication and information. The drawback was anyone who came to make a police report could see the board. Now, every officer and the department in general has an email address. Reno said information can now be kept confidential, including things such as extra patrols or house watch addresses.

Carterville City Council at its June 14 meeting approved the purchase of more technology for the department that automatically will upload video from squad car cameras to the department server.

Facebook to shoot any police officer who pulls her over and asks her to get out of the car.

Police said 24-year-old Jenesis Reynolds was arrested Friday at her home in Evergreen Park and charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor.

She’s accused of posting a Facebook message saying, “all I know is if the police stops and request me to get out of the car I’m shooting instantly.”

The Chicago Tribune reported that Reynolds was released on her own recognizance.

A phone listing for her was disconnected or out of service, and it was not immediately clear if she had an attorney who could comment on her behalf.

Another change has been the addition of an assistant chief.

“For months, I did not have an assistant chief. Now I have a competent counterpart who can share administrative duties,” Reno said.

Reno has been surprised by aspects of the job, too.

“The biggest pleasant surprise has been the community support. People walk in and bring us food, or cards from a day care,” Reno said.

Reno is happy that people feel comfortable walking into the department to talk to her.

She has also been surprised by the level of commitment of the people who work for the city of Carterville, saying they will go out of their way to help anybody.

She is also pleased by how well police departments in Williamson County work together. Carbondale is a large, self-sufficient police department.

It was an adjustment for Reno to move to a department that had two officers on duty at a time.

“Everybody takes really good care of each other. They are wonderful,” Reno said.

Pilot critically hurt in Illinois airport ultralight crash

SHERIDAN – Authorities said

a motorized glider has crashed while landing at an airport in northern Illinois, critically injuring the pilot.

Newark Fire Protection District spokesman Earl Thompson said the accident happened Saturday morning at Cushing Field Limited Airport near the Fox River village of Sheridan.

The Chicago Tribune reported that firefighters found an ultralight had crashed on the runway.

Thompson said the pilot initially was trapped in the wreckage. The man was taken to a hospital in Downers Grove after what Thompson described as a “heavy extraction.”

Authorities said the pilot is in his early 60s and is from the western Chicago suburb of Warrenville.

The Federal Aviation Administration and the LaSalle County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the cause of the crash.

Ex-school bus driver sentenced to 5 years for sex abuse

ROCKFORD – A former school bus driver found guilty of sexually abusing two 5-yearold girls in northern Illinois has been sentenced to five years in prison.

The Rockford Register Star reported Friday that 70-yearold Peter Sanchez of Hoffman Estates also will be on mandatory supervised release for two years and will have to register as a sex offender.

Sheriff’s detectives began investigating Sanchez in May 2014 after one of the victims said he abused her on a bus.

Sanchez was a driver for the South Beloit School District at the time.

He drove buses for First Student Bus Co. for about 15 years in the South Beloit, Prairie Hill and other school districts.

NATO boosts aid to nations battling Islamic extremism

By LOLITA C. BALDOR and JOHN-THOR DAHLBURG The Associated Press

WARSAW, Poland – NATO allies agreed Saturday to provide increased military support to countries in the Middle East and North Africa that are targets of Islamic extremism, including using NATO surveillance planes in the fight against the Islamic State group.

Alliance leaders also agreed to launch a new naval mission in the Mediterranean, and made commitments to maintain a stable military presence in Afghanistan and to fund Afghan security forces through 2020.

“We’re moving forward with the most significant reinforcement of our collective defense any time since the Cold War,” U.S. President Barack Obama said at a news conference at the end of a crucial NATO summit in Warsaw.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg said NATO will start a training and capacity-building mission for Iraqi armed forces in Iraq, a country he called central in the fight against IS. NATO also is working to establish an intelligence center in Tunisia, a major recruiting ground for IS, and will shortly start providing support to Tunisian special operation forces.

“Today, we have taken decisions to strengthen our partners and to project stability beyond our borders,” Stoltenberg told reporters. He said millions of people in Africa and the Middle East have been rendered “homeless and helpless” by radical organizations like IS and that the extremist groups are also to blame for organizing terrorist attacks in Europe and America.

Obama, who was attending his last NATO summit, called it “a pivotal moment for our alliance.”

“In nearly 70 years of NATO we have perhaps never faced such a range of challenges all at once – security, humanitarian, polit-

ical,” he said. However, he concluded that with the multifaceted efforts being made, “NATO is as strong, as nimble and as ready as ever.”

Stoltenberg said Obama and leaders of the other 27 NATO countries also agreed in principle for alliance surveillance aircraft to provide direct support to the U.S.-led coalition fighting IS in Syria and Iraq. NATO diplomats say they expect flights by alliance AWACS planes to begin this fall and Stoltenberg labeled the move “a clear signal of our resolve to help tackle terrorism.”

He said the alliance will launch a new maritime operation in the Mediterranean called Operation Sea Guardian, whose responsibilities will include counterterrorism. NATO will also cooperate with the European Union’s efforts to shut down human smuggling operations that have fueled Europe’s greatest migrant crisis since World War II. The alliance will also increase cooperation with Jordan, and is preparing to help the new government in Libya design policies and institutions to help it better defend itself against extremist organizations, Stoltenberg said.

“We will provide greater support to our partners, so they can secure their countries and push back against violent extremism,” he said.

Obama had been urging his fellow NATO leaders in Warsaw to expand their support for the war in Afghanistan against the Taliban.

Meanwhile, violence in the U.S. led him to cut his Europe trip short so he can return home Sunday.

The U.S. has pledged to provide $3.5 billion annually to fund Afghan forces, and the government in Kabul is expected to contribute as much as $500 million. Allies would provide the remaining $1 billion. The funding would maintain a total of 352,000 Afghan Army troops and police officers.

Drivers head north Thursday on U.S. 69 into a construction zone in Overland Park, Kan. Kansas and Missouri departments of transportation hope to manage heavy construction seasons by persuading polite Midwesterners to do the “zipper merge.”

“When a rule is being violated by someone else, it frustrates us, it irritates us, it makes us angry,” Hennessy said. “We expect everyone else to follow the rules, and when they don’t and we know they’re getting an advantage, it ticks us off.”

While motorists in other states might be accustomed to using some informal form of the zipper merge, four states have officially championed the technique.

Missouri officials started promoting the idea earlier this year ahead of what was expected to be a heavy road construction season. One of the bigger bot-

tlenecks begins next week, when traffic on Interstate 70 west of Boonville in central Missouri will be reduced to one lane in each direction because of bridge repairs, Silvester said.

While Missouri’s effort mainly is a public relations campaign to change how drivers deal with lane closures, Kansas has taken a more deliberate approach that includes using electronic signs and measuring the pace of traffic flow with Doppler radar. The state will review the results of the pilot project and determine whether it’s worth expanding next year.

Indiana town wonders: Who won $540M jackpot?

By RICK CALLAHAN The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Residents of a small Indiana town were abuzz with excitement Saturday after learning that the only winning ticket for a Mega Millions jackpot worth an estimated $540 million was sold at a local gas station.

Dennis Rosebrough, a Hoosier Lottery spokesman, said the winning ticket for Friday’s drawing was sold at a Speedway station along Interstate 70 in Cambridge City, a community of about 2,000 residents 50 miles east of Indianapolis.

A person who answered the phone at that store directed calls to Marathon Petroleum’s corporate headquarters. A spokesman, Brandon Daniels, said the company had no comment.

Mark McCarty, the president of the town council, said he hopes the

He said if the winner is a local it likely won’t take long for word to spread about who it is.

“I’ll be tickled if it’s someone from Cambridge City, or our region, who

won it,” he said, adding, “I’m not the winner, but I wish I was.”

The estimated $540 million jackpot is the third-largest in the history of the Mega Millions game. The winner can take payment of the estimated $540 million as a 30-year annuity or in a onetime lump sum estimated of $380 million, both before taxes.

The winning Mega Millions numbers are white balls 8-19-20-55-73 and yellow ball 5.

Beth Leisure, who heads the local chamber of commerce, said she’s “happy for whoever it is,” even if the winner isn’t from Cambridge City.

Rosebrough said the winner had not stepped forward as of Saturday afternoon and it could be days before the ticket holder claims the jackpot. Under Indiana law, lottery winners’ names are public record once they claim the prize, he said. Rosebrough noted that since the gas station is on a busy high-

way, there’s a decent chance that the person who bought the ticket was just passing through.

“We know the ticket was sold in Indiana, but being on I-70, who knows who bought it?” he said.

Robert Williams, who works at the town’s National Road Antique Mall, said customers were excited Saturday about the news that the ticket was sold locally.

“Everybody’s wondering who it is,” he said. “But everybody’s also been saying, ‘It’s probably somebody not even from around here.’”

The consortium of lottery organizations that runs Mega Millions said an estimated $1 billion in tickets had been sold since the last jackpot-winning ticket was drawn in early March.

This is the longest Mega Millions run without a winner.

Tickets are sold in 43 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Drivers who get angry when other motorists wait until the last possible moment to merge in construction zones need to reconsider their long-held notions of highway courtesy, transportation officials in a growing number of states are concluding.

Transportation departments in Missouri and Kansas have joined Minnesota and Washington in urging drivers to use the “zipper merge” method when approaching lane closures, most often associated with road construction.

Using all available lanes until the last moment, then alternating entry into the open lane, helps reduce accidents by keeping both lanes moving at the same speed, said David Silvester, a Missouri Department of Transportation engineer.

“This isn’t rocket science,” he said.

“It’s easy.”

The goal is to change a mindset among drivers whose first instinct is to get in line as soon as they see a sign warning of closed lanes ahead, Silvester said. For those folks, drivers who buzz past in the lane that is ending and crowd back into line at the last second are considered rude or inconsiderate.

Dwight Hennessy, a psychology professor at Buffalo State College in New York who specializes in traffic psychology, said Midwesterners tend to be polite and follow the rules – even unwritten ones – and get upset when others don’t.

per merge in the early 2000s with something it called “dynamic late merge.”

That system relies on sensors that activate portable electronic signs when traffic is congested and there are lane closures ahead.

The state later changed the name of that method to “active zipper merge” because the term “late merge” had negative connotations, said Ken Johnson, state work zone engineer.

In late 2007, Minnesota tried using a “passive zipper merge” system that uses permanent signs – but no electronic ones – to tell motorists of an upcoming lane reduction and encourage them to use both lanes. That version was slow to catch on, Johnson said, and in 2011 Minnesota transportation officials launched a campaign to educate drivers about how the merge works.

“We’ve struggled for a long time with what to do with merging behavior during lane reductions,” Johnson said.

Two years ago, Washington state began urging drivers to use the zipper merge, and Missouri and Kansas followed this year. Johnson said other states also have contacted his office about Minnesota’s experience with the traffic method.

Zipper merging is a simple concept that kids seem to understand better than some adult drivers, Silvester said.

That point is made in a video MoDOT released last week featuring children reacting to footage of adults using cardboard cars to make a zipper merge.

“When we saw the video, all of us were like, ‘Oh, my gosh, this is perfect,’ ” Silvester said.

Michael O’Mahoney, a former police officer, places his patch on a makeshift memorial at the Dallas police headquarters on Friday.

• JOLIET PATROLS

Continued from page 3 said. “We’re not pulling anybody from the street, but we’re doubling them up.”

O’Dekirk said there were no specific threats that led to the decision. But he noted that a number of police departments around the nation also have ordered police to work in pairs in the aftermath of the Dallas shooting.

“Anybody would be concerned about a copycat sort of thing,” he said. “I know officers all across the country are bracing for it.”

Other targeted shootings of police have been reported in Tennessee, Georgia and Missouri.

In a news release announcing the order that police work in pairs this weekend, O’Dekirk said: “It is imperative that we do all we can to help protect the brave men and women working for the Joliet Police Department. We also want to let our residents know that the services our police provide will not be diminished.”

The city intends to re-evaluate the plan next week. Typically, Joliet officers work in pairs only in certain sections of the city.

Concern, sympathy for the fallen

The police shooting in Dallas – in which five officers were killed and seven were injured at a protest following the deaths of two black men this week at the hands of law enforcement – brought sympathy and concern from local officers.

“It’s a terrible blow for the entire nation,” said Lemont Police Cmdr. Greg Smith, who serves as president of the Police Chiefs Association of Will County.

Smith said he and many other local officers have worked with Dallas police at national training classes and conferences.

“The first thing I did [Friday] morning was to call some of my friends in Dallas to offer my condolences. It’s a time of mourning,” Smith said.

Smith said the chiefs association will encourage its departments to show support by sending representatives to memorial services.

Will County Sheriff’s Deputy Chief Tom Budde said his department’s honor guard will be sent to Dallas. When deputies started their shifts Friday they were reminded to “keep a heightened awareness.”

“You could be targeted at any time without provocation,” Budde wrote in a message to deputies.

Police were unaware of any local protests against law enforcement this week after Alton Sterling and Philando Castile were killed by police in Louisiana and Minnesota, respectively, but the Dallas shooting brought out a supportive response, Budde said.

“We got quite a few calls to the station and emails with words of encouragement, and we appreciate that tremendously,” Budde said. “One person treated us to lunch on Friday. Thank you.”

Budde said the sheriff’s department likely will review deputies’ training for active shooter scenarios in the wake of the Dallas event for opportunities for improvement.

Grundy County Sheriff Kevin Callahan wrote an email warning deputies to be aware of their surroundings and thanking them for “the dangerous job they do every day.”

“We’ve never had any indications of an attack like that, but it could happen anywhere,” Callahan said.

Joliet Police Chief Brian Benton echoed his colleagues’ description of the Dallas shooting as a tragedy.

“We recognize the frustrations some citizens feel regarding the police but responding with violence is never the answer,” Benton said. “I’m proud to say that the community policing philosophy adopted by the Joliet Police Department two decades ago has helped us to develop a strong sense of trust and support within our city.”

Community policing emphasizes having officers patrol “beats” and get to know residents and address issues rather than come to an area when there’s a problem and leave after it’s resolved.

“The city manager, mayor and I will continue to prioritize the safety and security of our police officers and have made plans to enhance staffing levels for the immediate future,” Benton added.

A Dallas police officer helps tighten security at their headquarters after receiving an anonymous threat against law enforcement across the city Saturday Afghanistan around that time.

Everman suggested that Johnson “let me know when you make it down this way.”

“Will be great to get you back in the academy,” Everman said, according to a comment thread saved by the AP before Johnson’s Facebook profile was taken down.

“I concur!” Johnson replied.

More recently, a neighbor reported to investigators that Johnson had been seen practicing some sort of military drill in his backyard in the Dallas suburb of Mesquite, said Clay Jenkins, the Dallas County judge, the county’s most senior elected official.

Tensions were still high Saturday in Dallas, where 20 square blocks of downtown remained cordoned off as a crime scene. The police department tightened security Saturday evening after receiving an anonymous threat.

Earlier in the day, President Barack Obama called Johnson a “demented in-

dividual” who does not represent black Americans any more than a white man accused of killing blacks at a church in Charleston, South Carolina, represents whites.

“So we cannot let the actions of a few define all of us,” Obama said from Warsaw, Poland, where he attended a NATO summit.

The president planned to visit Dallas in a few days and to convene a White House meeting next week with police officers and community and civil rights activists.

It was the third time in as many days that Obama has spoken about the fatal police shootings of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota that were immediately followed by the sniper attack in Dallas.

Johnson, who donned a protective vest and used a military-style semi-automatic rifle, was killed by a robot-delivered bomb Thursday after the shootings, which marked the deadliest day

for U.S. law enforcement since the Sept.

11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

In all, 12 officers were shot just a few blocks from where President John F. Kennedy was slain in 1963.

Johnson was a private first class with a specialty in carpentry and masonry. He served in the Army Reserve for six years starting in 2009 and did one tour in Afghanistan from November 2013 to July 2014, the military said.

The attack began Thursday evening while hundreds of people were gathered to protest the police killings of Philando Castile, who was fatally shot near St. Paul, Minnesota, and Alton Sterling, who was shot in Louisiana after being pinned to the pavement by two white officers.

Video showed protesters marching along a downtown street about half a mile from City Hall when shots erupted and the crowd scattered, seeking cover.

Marcus Carter, 33, was in the area when people started running toward him, yelling about gunshots. Carter said the first shot sounded like a firecracker. But then they proceeded in quick succession, with brief pauses between spurts of gunfire.

“It was breaks in the fire,” he said.

“It was a single shot and then after that single shot, it was a brief pause,” followed by many shots in quick succession.

After shooting at the Dallas officers, Johnson tried to take refuge in a parking garage and exchanged gunfire with police, authorities said.

During negotiations, he said he wanted to exterminate whites, “especially white officers,” the police chief said.

• Sunday, July 10, 2016

DALLAS – The gunman who killed five police officers at a protest march had practiced military-style drills in his yard and trained at a private self-defense school that teaches special tactics, including “shooting on the move,” a maneuver in which an attacker fires and changes position before firing again.

Micah Johnson, an Army veteran, received instruction at the Academy of Combative Warrior Arts in the Dallas suburb of Richardson about two years ago, said the school’s founder and chief instructor, Justin J. Everman.

Everman’s statement was corroborated by a police report from May 8, 2015, when someone at a business a short distance away called in a report of several suspicious people in a parked SUV. The investigating officer closed the case just minutes after arriving at a strip mall. While there, the officer spoke to Johnson, who said he “had Micah just gotten out of a class Johnson at a nearby self-defense school.”

Johnson told the officer he was “waiting for his dad to arrive” and pick up his brother. No one else was apparently questioned.

On Friday, Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings described Johnson as “a mobile shooter” who had written manifestos on how to “shoot and move.”

Authorities have said the 25-year-old gunman kept a journal of combat tactics and had amassed a personal arsenal at his home, including bomb-making materials, rifles and ammunition.

The academy website refers to one of its courses as a “tactical applications program,” or TAP. “Reality is highly dynamic, you will be drawing your firearm, moving, shooting on the move, fixing malfunctions, etc. all under high levels of stress,” the website says. “Most people never get to train these skills as they are not typically allowed on the static gun range.”

The TAP training includes “shooting from different positions,” ‘’drawing under stress” and “drawing from concealment.” Everman declined to specify which classes Johnson took.

“I don’t know anything about Micah.

I’m sorry. He’s gone. He’s old to us. I have thousands of people,” Everman told The Associated Press on Saturday.

The two men, however, were friendly and talked in Facebook conversations in August 2014. Everman knew Johnson had been out of the country. Army officials said he had been deployed in

BUSINESS

Short Selling 101: Lots of risk involved Dear Mr. Berko: Please explain short selling. What are the risks? How do I do it? – GF, Buffalo, New York Dear GF: Current and future earnings are the primary reasons to purchase a stock. For our purposes, an investor is a person who buys a stock because he believes that the company’s products, past revenues and earnings suggest that future revenues and earnings will grow at an attractive rate. Earnings and the likelihood that earnings will continue to grow are the best reasons to own a stock.

Popular issues such as FireEye (FEYE-$15.25), Twitter (TWTR-$16.46), Yelp (YELP-$29.31) and Fitbit (FIT$12.23) were excellent shorts. Those stocks zoomed and, at one point, traded between two and six times their current prices, hoping for earnings that never happened.

Speculators (not investors) who bought TWTR in the $70s, YELP at $100, FEYE at $90 and even Tesla at $285 were suckered by Wall Street hyperbole. They lost 50 to 80 percent of their investments because they bought into the Street’s seedy, seamy and slummy speculation game. Those issues were never investments; rather, they were clearly mucky specula-

TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko tions. If you had sold them short (the opposite of owning them), you’d have earned some awesome profits.

Short selling is motivated by the belief that the price of a stock will decline and it will be able to be bought back at a lower price. The difference between the higher short selling price and the anticipated lower repurchase price is the profit.

Here’s how it buries. Assume it’s March 2014 and you see that YELP, which came public at $15 two years earlier, is trading at $100. You know that YELP, a company connecting people to local businesses and allowing businesses to create promotional ads for products, isn’t worth a soggy cigarette.

Though YELP has $864 million in revenues, its business model is an ignominious failure. Management reminds you of a troop of howler monkeys, and all its yelping hasn’t earned a farthing since it paid its first utility bill.

So you decide to sell short 100 shares of YELP at $100 because you believe that management lacks the skills to post a profit and therefore the price of the shares will decline. When you short a stock, the brokerage firm lends you the shares and you sell the borrowed shares on the market. As expected, YELP fails to earn a profit and the price falls.

You repurchase the 100 shares (that’s called covering your short) on the market and return the just-purchased shares to the brokerage firm.

The difference between the short sale price and the repurchase price is your profit.

Because you shorted 100 shares of YELP at $100 and bought them back at $28, you earned a profit of $72 a share, or $7,200.

A speculator I’ve known for 27 years – who purchases Gaviscon by the case, gargles with battery acid and chews glass – told me he shorted 600 shares of Tesla in December at $239. I was in his office when he covered his position in February at $151, with an 88-point profit, or $52,800. A few days later, he shorted 5,000 shares of General Motors at $30.75.

He also has a serious case of

irritable bowel syndrome, his kids hate him, and he’s in the middle of a divorce.

When buying a stock, the most you can lose is 100 percent of what you paid for the stock. Short selling is very speculative; if you’re wrong and the price soars, there’s no cap on how high the stock can go or how much you can lose. Short selling is the provenance of ghouls with bad breath, hedge fund managers with ED and constipated bankers too big to jail.

If you must bet against a stock, consider buying a put option at a fraction of the stock’s cost.

This is a contract between you and a second party that obligates the second party to buy a specific stock from you at a specific price during a specific time frame.

You obligate the second party by paying a sum of money (a premium) that contractually guarantees he’ll purchase the stock at a specific price within a specific time period. You can’t lose more than your investment.

Frankfort KinderCare Heartland hires mortgage banker awarded accreditation The HERALD–NEWS

The HERALD–NEWS FRANKFORT – KinderCare Learning Center in Frankfort has been awarded accreditation by the National Accreditation Commission for Early Care and Education Programs, a leading professional organization for the early childhood education industry.

Accreditation is an intensive process, granted by an independent, third-party organization validating that KinderCare’s teachers provide meaningful and engaging daily learning experiences for every child. Research shows that children who attend exceptional early childhood programs demonstrate higher math, language and socialization skills, according to a news release from the business.

Unlike licensing, which only ensures a basic threshold level of

a center’s ability to provide care, accreditation is the gold standard in designating high-quality early learning programs. With less than 10 percent of early childhood education programs in the nation receiving accreditation, KinderCare is the only private provider dedicated to achieving 100 percent accreditation in their centers across the country.

“The journey of quality starts every time a child walks through the door,” Elanna Yalow, CEO of KinderCare Early Learning Programs, said in the news release.

“Accreditation is a reflection of what Frankfort KinderCare does every day on behalf of the children in their care.”

Frankfort KinderCare serves families throughout the area, accepting children as young as six weeks to 12 years of age. To learn more, visit www.KinderCare.com.

Over the police scanner, you could hear a woman scream “My baby!”

It was chilling. It was around 12:30 p.m. Wednesday; our reporters were on the way to the scene in the 25000 block of North First Street, south of Route 64 outside Sycamore, where a vehicle had gone off the road and landed upside down, submerged in three to four feet of GUEST VIEW water in a creek.

Inside the red 2013 Hyundai seEric dan, a 3-year-old girl was trapped Olson in her car seat, underwater.

On the scene, DeKalb County sheriff’s deputies and Sycamore firefighters did what they had to do.

Along with a witness, five deputies and four firefighters went into the water. They lifted the car up out of the water. One firefighter broke the passenger side window. Another climbed into the vehicle through the rear window, removed the car seat and freed the child – and all the while, the others held the vehicle up.

“It was an extraordinary effort on their part, and they did an excellent job,” DeKalb County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Andy Sullivan said.

“I’m very proud of them.”

Sullivan didn’t want to name the individual deputies involved, but their actions to free 3-year-old Alaya Ochoa gave her a chance at survival. Her condition was not available from Central DuPage Hospital on Friday.

It was an emotional scene, and some people were visibly upset.

Sullivan said he and the other officers were pulling for her.

Sullivan, who has been in law enforcement 20 years, said he had never encountered a situation quite like it.

The rescue was a regional news story. Daily Chronicle photos from the scene were used on several Chicago TV newscasts. The firefighters and police who worked to save that girl acted heroically.

Unfortunately, the national news story this week has been about police brutality, and then the targeted killing of police officers who were doing their jobs to protect people who were protesting that brutality in downtown Dallas. These events are tragic. They call for soul-searching. Clearly, the targeting of police in Dallas is an atrocity.

When it comes to the videos surrounding the deaths of Alton Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on Tuesday, and of Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota, on Wednesday, I don’t think what happened looks right. Americans should not be killed in that way by law enforcement. The problems that underlie those incidents, including racism, are real, they are persistent and they must not be ignored, lest they continue to be repeated. Believing that does nothing to diminish the work that police and firefighters do in our communities on a daily basis. It does not constitute war with law enforcement.

Thank you to the officers and firefighters who worked to help that little girl that day, and to all those who work to protect our communities. Your neighbors support you. There should be no sides when it comes to making America safer. After a week like this, we all lose.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR No easy solutions

To the Editor: Donald Trump claims that he can put an end to all these global terrorist attacks within five minutes after he’s elected president. I’m assuming that he’s referring to more potent measures other than his proposed travel restrictions.

My question is, why wait months until inauguration day? Tell us how to do it now and save thousands of lives. Why wouldn’t he?

Because he can’t do it, and that’s not a knock on him either. Everyone else is clueless too, including President Obama, Hillary, Bernie, you and I. We’ve never seen the likes of what’s taking place now. Unprecedented. We’re talking World War III – literally – it’s everywhere. It seems impossible to defeat an invisible enemy who is not afraid to die. I’m not suggesting that we simply roll over and give up. Just beware of anyone who would have us believe that there’s an easy fix.

Mr. Trump speculated that if any of the patrons had guns to shoot back with in the Orlando nightclub, it might have resulted in a reduced death toll. Maybe some did but it would have been no match for that killer’s firepower. Also, even armed combat troops can become disoriented and overwhelmed when taken completely by surprise. A hard truth I

learned in Vietnam.

I do agree wholeheartedly with Trump on one issue: Gun control will solve absolutely nothing.

Comment policy change

To the Editor: It will be interesting to see how many people will post comments on stories now that The Herald-News has changed its posting policy. I find their reasons a little weak though. In all my years of subscribing to or reading The Herald-News, I have yet to see where the online comments have gotten so far out of hand that these changes have to be made.

There is a segment of your readers that, while having an opinion on a subject, would rather remain anonymous. Their opinion should not be negated simply because they prefer to remain unknown. In the rare instances where an opinion has been offered that is so far off base or inappropriate, the rest of us just give it the weight or value it deserves. I think in the long run you will stifle the conversation rather than promote it.

Hillary Clinton passes the trustworthiness test Hillary Clinton’s “damn emails” are a self-inflicted wound in a political cycle full of “gotcha” and “you’re fired.” And worse, for the fraying patience of the public, the injury is one her Republican opponents are blithe to spin and churn into a political fatality.

I’m no spring chicken, nor a community elder. I do have sufficient political experience to remember how Republicans of an earlier era would handle Clinton’s private server. For certain, they would scorch Clinton.

But they also would focus on the FBI’s uncovering of security deficiencies at the State Department going back well beyond Clinton’s years as secretary.

Our current secretary of state, John Kerry, is the first in U.S. history to have a department email address.

That’s no accident. Insiders have known for years that State’s email system is a relic from the Fred Flintstone cyber age. It’s no wonder past secretaries rarely used it.

Madeleine Albright and Condoleezza Rice pretty much shunned using State’s email. Colin Powell, like Clinton, used a private email account exclusively, though his was on a commercial server.

Additionally, the media is ignoring the FBI’s most important finding.

FBI Director James Comey revealed, “We also developed evidence that the security culture of the State Department [was] generally lacking.” From most accounts, State’s email system remains insufficient for everyday work efficiency, and that alone affects security.

Clinton was cleared of all but a very bad call. Right-wing extremists

VIEWS Donna Brazile (including Trump) and normal Republicans are spinning the FBI director’s report as “a point-by-point refutation of Clinton statements.” Combined, they’ve made enough political cow pies out of the report to fertilize every last farmer’s crop on earth.

Let me review, from Comey’s transcript, what the FBI director found: • Clinton committed no breach of U.S. laws: “In looking back at our investigations into mishandling or removal of classified information, we cannot find a case that would support bringing criminal charges on these facts.”

• There was no cover-up: “There was no intentional misconduct” in identifying and turning over Clinton’s work-related emails.

• Clinton’s personal email server was not hacked. “We did not find direct evidence that Secretary Clinton’s personal email domain, in its various configurations since 2009, was successfully hacked.” The fact: Her server was not hacked.

Republicans in Congress are making comparisons to other cases that involved willful, deliberate sharing of classified material, whereas Clinton did none of that. “Only facts matter,” said Comey, and this is the fact: Clinton broke no laws.

There is a blog from Benjamin Wittes and two other legal experts called LawFare – a term defined as

“the use of law as a weapon of war,” or in this case, the use of law as a weapon of political war. Wittes scrutinized the FBI case and found that “Hillary Clinton is not above the law, but to indict her on these facts, she’d have to be significantly below the law.”

Republicans are angry with FBI Director Comey for not using law warfare to remove Clinton from White House contention. Republicans, however, profited wildly when Comey breeched professional practices. Comey gratuitously offered a number of personal criticisms, which generally isn’t done in a report to the Justice Department. Transparency is not an excuse for an end run around official, professional procedures.

Republican congressmen summoned Comey before the House Oversight Committee, where they gleefully asked him to repeat criticisms that were decidedly not “apolitical” and are subject to sound dispute by other professionals.

Clinton is a public servant. PolitiFact, a ruthless fact-checker and Pulitzer Prize winner, gives Clinton the best truth-telling record of all the 2016 candidates. Still the public views her as being untrustworthy. It’s a tough stain to remove from her public persona.

Jill Abramson is the former executive editor of The New York Times.

Though younger by a few years, her journalism career has paralleled the Clintons’ time in Washington. She has personally scrutinized or overseen teams of reporters who investigated Hillary Clinton over every charge ever raised against her. She’s “not a favor-

ite in Hillaryland.” Her conclusion: “Hillary Clinton is fundamentally honest and trustworthy.”

How did Clinton get into so much trouble with her private server?

Abramson says Clinton herself caused some to view her as dishonest by her penchant for “insisting on a perimeter or ‘zone of privacy.’ ” Clinton fully acknowledges making mistakes around her emails, and takes responsibility for them. The important thing about mistakes is to reflect and learn from them – which Clinton has done. We teach our children that admitting mistakes is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of strength and character.

The email matter and Clinton’s response actually highlights – in a meaningful way – one of the most essential and fundamental differences between the two candidates for president. Her opponent has yet to take responsibility for any of his mistakes, or false statements, or smears, including a racist tweet. As a legal expert on Twitter observed, “Trump is refusing to admit error and tripling down on a stupid tweet. Imagine how he’d react if a military operation went south.”

Clinton admits and learns from her mistakes.

That’s what a leader should do.

Reflect, learn and grow from this experience.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Continued from page 31

Save classic Joliet homes

To the Editor: I’m writing about the house at 903 Western Ave. in Joliet and the Dougall House at 209 Union Ave. in Joliet.

Please preserve these “classic” homes.

What would Egypt and would history be without the pyramids? Think about it – all history cannot be torn down.

Please, Joliet, Will County and the state of Illinois, do something to find the money and talents to fix up these homes.

There should be donations and money, plus volunteers, there could and should be a list for each home. Carpenters, painters, electricians, roofers, landscapers, etc. and on and on, could forgo fees, to clean up and fetch things that are needed.

There are numerous projects to be done. We need to come up with something. Maybe 903 Western could be a bed and breakfast. Or a huge office.

Thanks again,

Renee Stoddard Joliet

Top Fuel driver Brittany Force makes a run down the lane at the 19th annual K&N Filters Route 66 NHRA Nationals Saturday at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet.

NHRA ROUTE 66 NATIONALS: TOP FUEL QUALIFYING

Another Force to the front of the field

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media Correspondent JOLIET – Brittany Force went into Saturday’s last two rounds of Top Fuel qualifying in the 19th Route 66 Nationals with a distinct advantage.

With the track record in her pocket from Friday night’s 3.692-second qualifying run earning her the provisional No. 1 spot, she could afford to use Saturday’s 1,000-foot passes as a glorified test for Sunday’s elimination finals.

That worked to perfection. With similar weather to Saturday’s hot but not overly muggy conditions expected, Force made runs of 3.800 and 3.731 seconds en route to locking in the top spot for Sunday.

Steve Torrence also posted a 3.731

Saturday – and a top trap speed of 327.03 mph to Force’s 325.69 – but the overall best elapsed time carries the day, and Force already had that from Friday’s evening session.

“Today’s conditions are going to be pretty similar to tomorrow, I think,” said Force, who turned 30 on Friday.

“It’s going to be hot. The main focus was getting two consistent runs down the race track. We’ve had four all weekend.

“The runs we made today were exactly what we were looking for, and I think it should set us up for tomorrow.”

Force hasn’t put a wheel out of place, nothing has broken, and has essentially been untouchable. That, as much as her qualifying position,

makes her the driver to beat.

She’ll face 84-year-old Chris Karamesines, Chicago’s famed “Golden Greek,” in the first round. If she gets by Karamesines, Force would be slotted against either Richie Crampton or Leah Pritchett in the quarterfinals.

“I think we’re really comfortable, confident going in,” Force said. “I’m looking forward to seeing what we could do tomorrow.”

Force has won twice this season, at Gainesville and Charlotte, and took second in Phoenix. In none of those cases was she the top qualifier. This time she is, but she said forgetting about her lofty position and focusing on the here and now for each run is the plan.

“I always take one run at a time,” Force said. “Yeah, I’m excited, I’m pumped up about our run last night, but we started over again today and we tried to do that same exact thing.

“I guess I’ve always had that approach to life. You can’t be distracted when you’re up there on the starting line.”

The field is full of winners Force would have to face down the line. Doug Kalitta, the leader in the standings and the only three-time winner this season, could be a foe in the finals, as could defending champion and five-time winner Tony Schumacher. Antron Brown or Shawn Langdon, also two-time winners, might stand between her and a spot in the finals in a semifinal showdown, as might Torrence.

ROUTE 66 QUALIFYING NOTEBOOK

By TIM CRONIN

Shaw Media correspondent

Fear and loathing in Funny Car: The way Ron Capps tells it, the Funny Car division is becoming as cutthroat as Formula One. The road racers are prone to whining about each other when they aren’t ignoring each other. Lately, Capps, who has won three of the last four races, is also getting the silent treatment.

“When someone else would succeed, I’d send them a text. Now? Crickets,” Capps said after his track-record pass of 3.888 seconds down the 1,000foot lane Friday night.

Capps traces some of the animus to the use of shorter exhaust headers, a year-old innovation that some teams are using. It’s allowed engines to transfer their 10,000-horsepower energy to the track more efficiently, both in terms of sheer power and in

ROUTE 66 BITS

• Sunday, July 10, 2016

JOLIET – Matt Smith goes into Sunday’s Pro Stock Motorcycle final as the top qualifier, a spot he assumed with his evening run Friday night.

Eighth in the season standings, he’d like to be No. 1 at the end of Sunday’s knockout competition. He hasn’t won a race this season, and is without a title since 2013, when he won four times.

Route 66 Raceway might be the place he ends the wait to hoist a Wally. While Smith hasn’t won in Joliet, he was the runnerup at Route 66 to Hector Arana Jr. in 2015, to Michael Ray in 2013 and to Andrew Hines in 2007.

“I like this place,” Smith said. “It has a lot of teeth to it. If it was at sea level, we’d be running .70s.”

At 682 feet, he had to settle for a best pass of 6.842 seconds (and 195.51 mph) for the quarter-mile, three one-thousandths quicker than Eddie Krawiec, who with Vance and Hines Racing teammate Andrew Hines has dominated Motorcycle qualifying this season. It’s only the third time this year one of those two haven’t been the top qualifier.

Angelle Sampey, who broke a nine-year drought with a victory in Epping, N.H., three weeks ago, was in danger of not qualifying after Friday’s two runs, but ran down the track in a blistering 6.853 seconds Saturday and slid into the No. 3 slot for Sunday’s showdowns.

Smith will face No. 16 qualifier Michael Ray in Sunday’s first round, while Krawiec faces Michael Phillips and Sampey meets Jim Underdahl.

“We weren’t complaining when we weren’t winning races,” Capps said.

“Go back to St. Louis, when we went down the track and hit almost everything, including a guy at the top end when we were trying to get off the track. All we did was work harder.

Rahn Tobler (his crew chief) had a heart-to-heart on Saturday night last year in Ponoma (at the season finale), and we won it.

“This is the funnest it’s been in my 19 years in Funny Car.” The little team that could: Tim Wilkerson has always been one of the little guys when it comes to budgets and crews.

The 55-year-old Springfield native punches above his weight in Funny Car. This year, he’s been landing haymakers, winning twice with his new Levi, Ray & Shoup-sponsored car.

“We try to work through it,” Wilkerson said. He has a smaller budget than the big guys like John Force

Racing and Don Schumacher Racing, and uses three fewer crew members.

And gets the job done.

Friday, he grabbed the track speed record for Funny Car with an evening lap that clicked through the 60foot speed trap at 330.23 mph.

He’d made 600 runs in his old car, one he bought second-hand from Force. But the technological evolution in racing forced his hand, and the gamble has so far paid off.

“I don’t want to be a back-half (of the field) car,” Wilkerson said. “We’re technologically challenged, have less crew, and are a little bit economically challenged, but we don’t come here to get beat. We come here with one vision, and that’s to win every dang race.”

Even with two wins in 12 races, Wilkerson came into Route 66 seventh in the standings, a testament to how tight Funny Car is bunched.

“It’s out of control,” Wilkerson said. “That’s Pro Stock class. But we think we have a chance to win the championship. What a cherry on the top that would be.”

He came close once, finishing second to Cruz Pedregon in 2008.

“I never should have lost,” Wilkerson said. “John (Force) and I double red-lit (in an earlier round). They put the crown on Cruz’s head.”

Around the pits: Long nights are standard in drag racing, with crews thrashing to rebuild engines and primp equipment. But Shane Gray’s Pro Stock crew went above and beyond the call even before arriving at Route 66.

“We ran seven runs on Wednesday in Charlotte to figure something out, and it’s what? A 17-hour drive to Chicago,” Gray said. It must have worked. Gray enters Sunday’s fray the No. 1 qualifier. “It’s not magic, it’s just work,” Gray said. “I think we’re catching up but, but we need the consistency.” ...

The Chicago-area nitro contingent had mixed results. Funny car driver Justin Schriefer didn’t make the Sunday show, but Top Fuelers Luigi Novelli and Chris Karamesines, 73 and 84, respectively, advanced to the knockout round for the rail dragsters.

Funny car driver Matt Hagan does a burn out at the 19th annual K&N Filters Route 66 NHRA Nationals on Saturday at Route 66 Raceway in Joliet.

NHRA ROUTE 66 NATIONALS: FUNNY CAR

Hagan bounces back with track record in final round

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Things certainly didn’t start off well for Matt Hagan as Saturday’s qualifying rounds got underway in the K&N Filters Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway.

The Funny Car driver lost his brakes in the burnout and decided to continue down the track, which left him in fourth place heading into the day’s second round.

But his final race of the day was a completely different story, and it not only moved him to the top-qualifying spot but also was good enough to establish a track record.

Hagan turned in an elapsed time of 3.882 at 331.12 mph to break the mark of 3.885 that Don Schumacher Racing teammate Jack Beckman had set a

short time before. Beckman still was able to walk away with a track record of 333.25 mph to place second.

“Q 4 (qualifying round 4) is not usually the time that you do it, it’s always Friday night when it’s cool out and the track is great,” Hagan said of his track record. “It was getting to that point and we had a great race track underneath us and the weather seemed to be there, but I didn’t know that we were going to be pushing that hard, so to speak.

“Q 3 kind of messed everything up and obviously we’d have liked to have that run back. But when you go out there and do a burnout and you pull brake pressure and there’s nothing there and you can’t get the car stopped, my first instinct is not to back up and run over my crew. And then you still had Timmy (Wilkerson) over there and you’re trying to get off of the race

track and be respectful for him and his run. It’s my boss’ car and my crew chief’s car but when they put the body down, it’s my car, and it’s my decision what happens out there.

“I’m glad that we got off the track and didn’t try to attempt a run. I don’t want to try to stop something at 300 mph with no brakes. We got a new master cylinder on there and we were a little bit behind the eight ball and trying to figure out where we needed to be since we didn’t get that earlier run. Dickie Venables is a guy that you can’t really count out. He’s just always so very consistent and does a great job and I’m very glad that he’s my crew chief.”

Hagan, a two-time world champion who entered the weekend ranked sixth in the points standings, won consecutive titles at Atlanta and Topeka, Kansas this season. He beat Beckman in

the finals in both events and was also the top-qualifier at Topeka.

Great conditions produced an historic evening in which a record 13 drivers had times under four seconds.

Alexis DeJoria posted the third-best qualifying mark at 3.887 at 327.11 mph while Friday leader Ron Capps, who has four victories this season and leads the class in points, was fourth with a 3.888 at 328.78 mph.

Tim Wilkerson had the fifth-best qualifying mark with a 3.894 at 330.23 mph, Robert Hight took sixth with a 3.894 at 325.22 mph and Courtney Force placed seventh with a 3.895 at 328.06 mph. Defending Joliet champion Tommy Johnson Jr. had the eighthbest qualifying mark with a 3.918 at 325.3 mph, Chad Head ranked ninth with a 3.929 at 325.77 mph and defending world champion Del Worsham was tenth with a 3.930 at 324.2 mph.

NHRA ROUTE 66 NATIONALS: PRO STOCK

Gray halts KB Racing top-qualifying streak

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – After KB Racing teammates Jason Line, Greg Anderson and Bo Butner combined to win the first 12 races, all top-qualifying spots and grab the top-three points totals in Pro Stock, competitors like Shane Gray were hoping that someone else would break through.

One day after posting Friday’s top-qualifying mark with a 6.578 elapsed time at 209.43 mph, Gray maintained that ET and improved to 209.46 mph in Saturday’s second session to head into Sunday’s competition in the K&N Filters Route 66 NHRA Nationals at Route 66 Raceway to assure himself

of the top-qualifying mark.

Gray entered the weekend ranked eighth in points, 857 points behind seven-time winner Line. His best previous-qualifying marks this season were a pair of fourths that he achieved in consecutive races at Atlanta and Topeka. He has reached the semifinals three times, including in the last event at Norwalk.

“I”m real pleased with the progress that we made today,” Gray said. “I’m really stoked about racing tomorrow and I think that we have a good shot. I don’t try to get too far ahead of myself so I say that we’ve caught up to them at this race. We’ll see where we’re at a couple of races down the road.

“The level of difficulty is harder to-

day than it was last year. I think that there’s a lot of cars out there that are capable of running just as KB or just as fast as Gray Motorsports but some of us just haven’t hit on the magic potion or turned all of the right screws just yet. But every race that we go to with this fuel-injection stuff are different.

“Hats off to everyone involved in my organization. My dad supported this deal for going on 10 years now and I couldn’t do it without him. And I couldn’t do it without anyone that I’ve got. We’ve got a core group of guys and some have been with me for seven years now, so they’re all like family.

We’re having fun at the races again and when you have fun, you do well,

and we’re doing well, so look out.”

Butner, who qualified for one top spot, ended up taking second with a 6.596 at 210.21 mph. Line, who’s been the top-qualifier six times, took third place with a 6.598 at 209.95 mph and five-time winner and five-time top-qualifier Anderson was fourth with a 6.610 at 209.3 mph.

Last year’s Joliet champion, Allen Johnson, finished fifth with a 6.612 at 209.2 mph, Drew Skillman was sixth with a 6.616 at 209.07 mph, Chris McGaha took seventh with a 6.621 at 208.65 mph, Vincent Nobile was eighth with a 6.621 at 208.62 mph and twotime defending world champion Erica Enders-Stevens finished ninth with a 6.623 at 208.46 mph.

“We had a really strong team in high school. We had guys going to sectionals every year, and it definitely makes it more fun to be competing here against some of them.”

Daley, 24, played college golf at Point Park in Pittsburgh. His job is with Pennsylvania Tools in Mokena.

“I came here to work and started golfing with some of these guys,” he said. “I won’t have time to play many tournaments, but I thought I would play this one.”

Wallace, who won the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament to highlight his freshman season at Illinois State, has been playing in tournaments all his life. He knows he and so many others are in position to win.

“It’s not too much to overcome,” he said. “But I have to play well. There’s definitely a little range time coming (later Saturday).

“My irons were missing long left.

It’s bad when that happens. Four holes in a row on the back, I missed long left.”

The Men’s A and Men’s B flights

are handicapped. In Men’s A, Roberto Cordova leads with a net score of 68, followed by Alie Salman at 69 and Pedro Alarcon at 71. Cordova shot 77 and Salman and Alarcon 78 for the low gross scores.

The Men’s B leader is John Hlava at 64, followed by Haldo Martinez at 66.

Halva shot 81 gross and Martinez 83.

The other flight where scratch scores are used is Senior Scratch. As in the Men’s Championship Flight, several enter Sunday with a shot at the title.

Dan Caporusso leads at 69, followed

by Dan Warren 70, Chi Kovel 71, Jeff Stubler 72, Guy Grimmer 74, Bob Filas 75 and Rick Manfred and Tony Gerl 76.

The Senior A Flight top handicap scores are Ray Hustad 62, Tony Holquin Jr. 68 and Gerald Winbush 71.

Hustad shot 73 gross and Holquin 77.

The Senior B Flight leaders, handicap included, are Rich Colofello 60, Doug Ceci 65 and Tony Janes 72.

The Women’s Flight leader is Edie Sims, who posted a 77 gross score and net 63. Jean Troyer is second at 69 after shooting 98, and Kay Foreman shot 74 net for third place.

A day the Cougill family never will forget

A belated shout-out to the Cougills and their talent for coaching baseball.

On June 4, dad Jerry Cougill guided his last Reed-Custer team to the Class 2A state championship, beating St. Joseph-Ogden, 7-6, in eight innings in the title game. That same day, son Ryan Cougill’s Yavapai (Arizona) College baseball team won the NJCAA Division I World Series at Grand Junction, Colorado with a 5-2 victory over San Jacinto-North.

It’s the last Reed-Custer team for Jerry because he has retired.

“With three children and five grandchildren (a sixth on the way) in three different states, my wife, Kay, and I are anxious to begin a new chapter in our lives,” Cougill wrote when he emailed information for our Herald-News All-Area Team. “With 38 years as head coach (43 total) invested at Reed-Custer, there will be many things I will miss.”

Ryan Cougill, of course, played for his dad at Reed-Custer, then for Wayne King at Joliet Junior College.

He was an All-North Central Community College Conference selection in both 2001 and 2002 before tranferring to Western Illinois, where he was named All-Mid-Continent Conference in 2003 and 2004. He finished his ca-

JOLIET – The top of the leader board after Round 1 of the annual Joliet Park District Golf Tournament has a definite Minooka flavor.

Kyle Sheppard, who is entering his sophomore year at University of St. Francis, shot 4-under-par 67 Saturday at Inwood to grab a two-stroke lead in the Men’s Championship Flight entering Sunday’s final round at Wedgewood. Jake Scheidt shares second place with a 69 and Jason Chobar, a junior year at USF, is one of two tied for fourth at 72. All three played their high school golf at Minooka.

Meanwhile, James Daley, who is from Youngstown, Ohio, and moved to this area for work reasons seven months ago, also shot 69 to share second place; former Joliet Township standout Trent Wallace, a sophomore at Illinois State, shot 72 and remains a threat to win the tournament with the round at Wedgewood remaining.

Curt Trizzino and Jake Pluth shot 73 and enter Sunday six strokes off the

pace. Joe Tezak, Gilbert Rios, Robert Weiss and Ryan Patera all carded 74s.

“I hit it good, but it could have been a lot lower,” Sheppard said of of his 67.

“There were mental errors out there, but the putter was working. For the most part, the wedge and putter did it for me.

“Wedgewood plays tighter than Inwood, and that sets up well to my game.”

Sheppard, a two-time sectional qualifier while at Minooka who played in nearly all the USF tournaments his freshman year, said he last entered the park district tournament two years ago.

“I had vacation issues last year,” he noted.

He did compete in the Joliet Amateur at Wedgewood earlier this summer and shot a solid opening round of 73.

Scheidt was Sheppard’s classmate at Minooka. He is not attending college.

“I’m working and playing golf, that’s about it,” he said. “My round could have been better than 69. I missed some opportunities, leaked a little at the end.

46 WHITE SOX 5, BRAVES 4

Frazier homers, Sox nip Braves

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Jose Quintana beamed while describing the attention the first all-Colombian pitching matchup in major league history was getting back home.

“I think Colombia won today,” he said.

Quintana bested countryman Julio Teheran, Todd Frazier hit his 25th homer and the White Sox beat the Atlanta Braves, 5-4, on Saturday.

A Colombian flag hung outside a suite down the left field line to celebrate the milestone. The pitchers were born about 25 miles apart in the northern department of Bolivar.

“Teheran is my friend and we have a good relationship,” Quintana said.

“Facing him at this level, that’s good for the country. I enjoyed this game and I took the win. That’s great for me.”

Frazier, who will go for his second straight Home Run Derby title Monday, hit a two-run shot in the second and an RBI double in the Sox’s threerun third. He also connected in Friday night’s 11-8 loss in the series opener.

“I feel stronger, I feel more relaxed, a little quicker swing,” Frazier said.

“For me, it’s hitting good pitches. I say this all the time, if I’m swinging out-

Teheran (3-8) allowed five runs and nine hits over six innings. The AllStar, who missed his last start with an infection in his right thigh, enjoyed facing Quintana.

TENNIS: WIMBLEDON FINALS

“We’re pretty close,” Teheran said.

“Sometimes in the offseason we get to work together. It was exciting to be able to pitch against him.”

Quintana (7-8) won his second straight start despite giving up home runs to Gordon Beckham, Jeff Francoeur and Freddie Freeman in six in-

nings.

The Sox had scored 13 runs in Quintana’s last 10 starts. With a strong wind aiding fly balls, the left-hander allowed four runs and five hits, but he got the support he needed this time around.

Atlanta had chances in the last two innings.

Zach Duke replaced Quintana and got four straight outs. Chase d’Arnaud then doubled off Matt Albers. After a groundout, the Sox walked Freeman intentionally.

Nate Jones then struck out Nick Markakis, who had hit three homers in two games.

With closer David Robertson (upper left leg strain) unavailable, Jones came out for the ninth and allowed one-out singles to Adonis Garcia and A.J. Pierzynski.

A wild pitch put runners at second and third. Jones struck out Erick Aybar before walking ninth-place hitter Ender Inciarte intentionally.

“If you have bases loaded, you’ve got every base to be able to get a force out,” manager Robin Ventura said.

Jones got his third save by retiring d’Arnaud on a grounder to third on the first pitch. Fans in yellow Colombia shirts above their flag cheered.

“I think we have better baseball now,” Quintana said. “It’s good for us and I’m proud.”

GOLF: U.S. WOMEN’S OPEN

Two-trophy day: Serena and Lydia Ko takes lead after 3rd Venus Williams win doubles round of U.S. Women’s Open

By HOWARD FENDRICH The Associated Press

LONDON – Serena Williams is leaving Wimbledon with two trophies, teaming with her older sister Venus to win a women’s doubles final that began a little more than 3 hours after the singles final ended Saturday.

The American siblings won their sixth doubles championship at the All England Club and 14th as a pair at all Grand Slam tournaments by beating fifth-seeded Timea Babos of Hungary and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan, 6-3, 6-4.

Earlier Saturday, also on Centre Court, Serena collected her 22nd Grand Slam singles title with a straight-set victory over Angelique Kerber in that final.

“I had just enough time to change

and get my ankles re-taped,” Serena said about going from one match to the other. “But there was so much adrenaline. I didn’t want to cool down too much.”

Venus sat in the guest box during the singles final.

“Watching Serena earlier was so amazing, and I was so into that. And then you have to re-set yourself and say, ‘OK, we’ve got to play a match and we’re going to have to try to win,’” Venus said during a joint interview with the BBC after the doubles. “So she brought the energy from Game 1 and that really brought me up, too.”

The Williams sisters also won doubles titles at Wimbledon in 2000, 2002, 2008, 2009 and 2012. Each time, one or the other also won the singles championship, with Serena doing it in 2002, 2009 and 2012 in addition to this year.

The Associated Press SAN MARTIN, Calif. – World No. 1 Lydia Ko birdied the 18th hole to cap a 2-under 70 in the third round Saturday that put her in the lead of the U.S. Women’s Open, bolstering her chance for her third major title in less than a year.

The 19-year-old Ko became the youngest woman to win a major last year at the Evian Championship and followed that up by winning the ANA Inspiration this spring. Now she’s in contention for her first U.S. Open title after failing to make the top 10 in her first four appearances.

Ko has a one-shot lead over 2009 winner Eun Hee Ji and Sung Hyun Park. Brittany Lang and Amy Yang are two shots back at 5 under and An-

gela Stanford is in sixth place at 4 under at CordeValle.

Ko’s week at the Open got off to a somewhat shaky start when she was tied for 52nd after a 73 in the first round in the difficult afternoon conditions.

But Ko got into contention with a 66 in the second round and then got right back to work on Saturday. She made a long downhill putt for birdie on No. 3 before losing a stroke with a bogey at No. 9. She made another birdie at No. 13 before her strong closing hole.

Even though the 18th is reachable in two shots, Ko opted to take three and it paid off when her approach stopped about 9 feet from the hole. She calmly sank the putt to give her sole possession of the lead. She then threw her ball into the stands in celebration.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS PITTSBURGH – Josh Bell hit a grand slam in his second major-league at bat, one of four homers by the Pittsburgh Pirates in a 12-6 win over the Cubs on Saturday night.

Bell slugged a 1-1 pitch from Adam Warren (3-2) over the seats perched above the 21-foot wall in right for his second pinch-hit in two games since being recalled from Triple-A on Friday. Jordy Mercer, Andrew McCutchen and Sean Rodriguez

also homered for the Pirates, who have won nine of 10 and 12 of their last 15.

Cubs starter Jon Lester, the National League pitcher of the month for June, has struggled of late – allowing 13 runs in 41/3 innings in July.

Ben Zobrist had a two-run homer and Anthony Rizzo had four hits for the Cubs, which has lost of nine of 10 and seen its lead in the NL Central cut to 61⁄2 games.

Arquimedes Caminero (1-2) struck out three in 12/3 innings to pick up the win.

AVON, Ohio – The Joliet Slammers had been playing excellent baseball for the last month or so, but the Lake Erie Crushers are doing their best to spoil things just before the Frontier League All-Star break.

Sean Hurley singled home the winning run off reliever Tyler Levine in the bottom of the ninth inning Saturday night as the Crushers got past the Slammers, 6-5. Hurley had three hits, including a homer, and drove in four runs Friday night as Lake Erie won the series opener, 8-5. Sunday’s game will be it for both teams until after the break.

The Slammers scored two runs in the top of the first inning Saturday with the help of an error and balk.

Charlie White and Jake Gronsky had singles in the inning, Alfredo Rodriguez walked and Carter Bell hit a sacrifice fly.

Joliet added two in the third on Gronsky’s two-run single following a

walk to White and Bell’s single.

In the fourth, Melvin Rodriguez led off with a home run, his second of the series. But that was all for the Slammers’ offense.

Starter Sean Townsley allowed five earned runs on nine hits in 42⁄3 innings.

Mitchell Osnowitz contributed 31⁄3 innings of scoreless relief, allowing one hit. Brent Choban walked two batters in the ninth and took the loss.

In the series opener Friday night, Lake Erie scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh inning, two on a ground-rule double by former Slammers shortstop Max Casper, to overcome a 5-4 deficit.

Losing pitcher Kevin Simmons and fellow reliever Choban were victimized in the big inning. Simmons allowed three earned runs in 12⁄3 innings while Choban allowed a run on a hit and a walk in two-thirds of an inning.

Gronsky belted a three-run homer and Melvin Rodriguez and Alfredo Rodriguez chipped in solo shots for the Slammers, who totaled seven hits.

Not merely a school:

Joliet Junior College offers plenty for the community to see and do

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

J

OLIET – Joliet Junior College is more than an educational institution. It’s a community resource.

Susan Stockwell, event coordinator and scheduler for the school, wants to connect the community with that resource. That’s anyone in the community: individuals, families, businesses, schools, civic groups, social groups – really anyone, not just students.

And resources?

Stockwell said those include the former Cronin Schoolhouse, the Herbert Trackman Planetarium, the nature trails and even rental space – including classrooms and auditoriums – for various events, such as conferences, meetings, seminars and training sessions.

One business recently held a lunch – served by JJC – in one of the cafeterias, rented out several classrooms and offered 32 vendors on the campus’s indoor bridge, Stockwell said.

“People should come to see what JJC has to offer,” Stockwell said. “I book the theater all the time for kids’ recitals. We have outside events – for motorcycle training and the police do some of their training outside. The softball field, we can rent out. We’re actually looking at getting a gazebo so we can do more outside events.”

When renting space from JJC, Stockwell said, she also can coordinate any necessary media materials, as well as food, parking and security.

Schools, day care centers and Scout troops planning field trips should consider JJC. Stockwell said some teachers will spend an entire day at JJC with their students, visiting Cronin Schoolhouse and the planetarium and hiking the trails. Others will plan a visit to just one site.

Any combination of options works, Stockwell said, and there is plenty to see and do, which often surprises people.

“People don’t even realize we have the trails,” Stockwell said.

The nature trails include the paved Rock Run Trail (2.75 miles) and the unpaved Forest Trail (1.3 miles) and Prairie Trail (a half mile). The trails are full of natural beauty and a wide variety of bird species.

“There’s also a lot of squirrels, skunks and raccoons,” Stockwell said.

But it’s Cronin Schoolhouse that

About the planetarium According to the Joliet Junior College website, the Herbert Trackman Planetarium, built in 1972 and named for alumnus Herbert F. Trackman, showcases the latest information from NASA. In January 2014, the JJC Foundation donated funds for a new OmniStar Digital Projection System, which projects an accurate arrangement of the stars and planets on the planetarium’s dome. Nearly 10,000 people visit the planetarium each year. The educational shows are free. really excites Stockwell. According to information supplied by Stockwell, the one-room schoolhouse, built in 1863, was the eighth in Troy Town-

ship. The school now stands on the grounds of Joliet Junior College. The Larkin family donated it to the college in 1987.

Stockwell said four volunteers serve as tour guides: John Cronin, Russ Ghilain, Lew Davies and Nancy Erickson-Pierz, and more are needed.

Cronin is a former student of the school. Ghilain’s mother taught at the schoolhouse in the 1920s. While all tours delve into the schoolhouse’s rich history and give visitors a glimpse of school in past years, Cronin and Ghilain also share their personal perspectives.

“It’s great for students to see how schoolhouses were back in the day,” Stockwell said.

For many years, Stockwell was the supervisor and wedding planner for JJC’s Renaissance Center, which she said she thoroughly enjoyed.

Stockwell’s new position on the main campus is equally satisfying.

She said she can’t imagine working any place except Joliet Junior College.

Stockwell said she loves being around the students and working with the public.

“The days just go by so fast,” Stockwell said. “No day is boring.”

LOCKPORT – For eight months, six LTHS students and their science teacher embarked on a project at Argonne National Laboratory.

Students Leila Bentaous, Mariah Dicksen, Drew Doubleday, Krystian Glowacz, Sierra Goldstein and Michelle Hajduk worked with teacher William Kane on a project through the laboratory’s Extraordinary Student Research Program.

The LTHS team worked with Dr. Norma Duke, an Argonne scientist, to study how proteins found in chicken eggs affect bacterial colonies. Similar proteins, known as lysozymes, are found in animals.

The team conducted some preliminary paper research, and wrote a program proposal that was submitted for review.

They met with Duke to learn how to crystallize proteins, a step that is necessary to research their molecular structures.

They conducted more than a hundred experiments to find the best conditions to grow the crystals before growing them with sugars, known by the acronyms NAM and NAG, found in bacterial cell walls (no actual bacteria were used in this study).

These crystals were removed from solution using a microscope and a special tool with a loop about 1.5 mm wide. These

samples were then mounted on the beamline at Argonne for study using X-rays supplied by Argonne’s Advanced Photon Source. The team learned and demonstrated the skills to use the safety protocols necessary to work with this high-energy radiation.

The data was gathered via computer and software was used to visualize maps of the electron clouds down to the precision of a single atom. This data was further analyzed by more software that allowed the team to match up the electron cloud maps with the shapes of the sugars and lysozyme. Although the findings did not turn out as expected, they did confirm a lesser seen mirror of the sugar molecules interacting with the lysozyme protein.

On May 10, LTHS students presented their findings in a culminating activity that involved not only 10 other area high schools but also the international community of scientists who have done research using the APS over the past year.

This final activity was open via invitation only, but allowed the team to experience the typical research cycle that a scientist can expect to go through several times during their life.

Each student received a certificate to recognize their commitment and collaboration during the eight months spent on this project.

Walking and running help heart Dear Dr K: I’m a 42-year-old couch potato. Gentle pressure from my wife and doctor have “convinced” me to start exercising regularly. What’s better for my health: jogging or brisk walking?

Dear Reader: If you’re a couch potato, you’re in the majority. A recent study found nearly 60 percent of adults in the United States do not get enough exercise.

Walking and running are equally good for heart health. But since jogging is more vigorous, you have to walk more to get the same benefit.

That’s what researchers found when they followed 33,000 runners and 16,000 walkers for six years. The researchers measured how much energy study participants exerted while exercising.

The study found each calorie burned – either by running or walking – resulted in a similar reduction of heart disease risk. But overall, the runners were healthier. That’s because, on average, they burned more energy than walkers, probably because they could exercise in less time. Look at it this way: You have to walk for 60 minutes to use the same amount of energy as jogging for 25 minutes.

There are advantages to both walking and running. If you are over 40 and have been sedentary most of your life, I’d talk to your doctor before beginning to run.

That’s particularly true if you have any risk factors for heart disease and stroke – such as being a smoker, being obese or having diabetes, high cholesterol or high blood pressure.

If you’re cleared for either running or walking, choose the one you enjoy, as you’re more likely to stick with an exercise you like. If you’re still torn, consider these reasons to recommend walking: • Injuries tend to be less frequent and

SUDOKU

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff less significant for walkers than runners.

• It’s generally easier to find a place to walk than to run. A busy sidewalk or a shopping mall may be fine for walking but not so good for running.

• Walking puts less stress on the hips, knees and feet.

On the other hand, running can: • Produce a “runner’s high.”

• Provide a more intense workout, which particularly is important if you have limited time to exercise.

If you decide to walk, you’ll need to spend extra time to burn the extra energy.

Aim for at least 30 minutes of brisk walking most days of the week. Doing just that will bring you great health benefits, in comparison to no walking or running at all. And brisk walking for 45 to 60 minutes most days of the week will bring even more benefits – the same benefits as a person who jogs for 25 to 30 minutes most days of the week.

Whether you choose to walk or run, commit to making physical activity a routine part of your life. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: There is nothing more powerful in protecting your health than regular exercise. No medicine yet invented can offer you as much protection. You can do more for yourself by exercising than anything we doctors can do for you.

Grumpy grandma turns away grandson’s handmade present Dear Abby: I have a 6-year-old son who is a very compassionate child.

My husband’s mother lives with us and recently went through an illness from which she recovered. Twice my son tried to give her a necklace he had made from braided yarn to cheer her up. Abby, she not only refused to accept them, but left them on the floor as if she didn’t even want to touch them.

She has no reason to dislike my son, but she just cannot appreciate the love he was demonstrating.

As Grandma is not likely to change, I wonder how to help him understand his sweet but childish gifts are just not valuable to some people. If I say nothing, I am concerned it will hurt him more in the long run.

Personally, I love the pictures and letters and gifts he makes for me, and so does my mother, who lives

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips far away. It makes me ache to see his compassionate gifts rejected to his face by a family member he loves.

Your thoughts? – Sensitive Mom Of A

Sensitive Boy Dear Sensitive Mom: I only can

imagine how your son felt when his grandmother rejected his gifts. It appears your mother-in-law is one of those who dwells more on the price of things than on their value.

If your son was disappointed by the woman’s reaction, he needs to know “not everyone appreciates creative art.” But assure him you and your mother definitely do, and they are not

only welcomed, but also treasured.

Dear Abby: I have a horrible fear of death, not just my own but especially something happening to my toddler.

It stresses me so badly I have not been away from her for more than two hours in her three years. I’m terrified something will happen and I won’t be there to help her. Because I’ve done this, she will not let me leave the room, let alone the house. Her daddy gets upset she cries to be with me.

I lost my friend and both of my parents within a year, and my daughter was born between the deaths of Mom and Dad. Also, I had cancer as a young adult. I don’t know if this has contributed to my feelings, but I know I’m making myself crazy, and I don’t know how to deal with these thoughts and fears.

I won’t leave my child with anyone

for fear they won’t protect her like I can. How do I get over this so we can get out and function like a normal family? – Paralyzed In Kentucky Dear Paralyzed: While it’s normal for a young child to be dependent upon his or her mother, children also need to know they can trust and depend upon their father to meet their needs.

Your daughter has been deprived of this.

Because in addition to having survived a life-threatening illness you have experienced so much loss, you may need the help of a licensed psychotherapist to get over your fear.

Your physician or your health insurance provider can refer you to one.
