Keeping the heat in perspective As the temperatures soared Thursday and Friday, I kept reminding myself that it wasn’t too long ago that it was below zero. It didn’t help beat the heat, but it did keep it in perspective.

I hope all of our readers kept cool, and encourage everyone to keep an eye out for their neighbors and area pets to make sure they too are safe in this heat.

And it was heartening to hear that many stepped up to help our emergency responders Thursday at the plane crash by bringing police and fire personnel water to help keep them hydrated as they dealt with such a tragedy. Thank you to all who stepped up; while it may seem like a small gesture, they certainly appreciated it.

Honor rolls

As a child I always secretly wanted

VIEWS Kate Schott my parents to get a bumper sticker that said “my kid is on the honor roll” for the family car. I worked hard on my academic achievements, as did area students who made honor roll this year.

So we are happy to yet again print honor rolls from area schools. Starting Monday and running through Friday, we will feature second semester, third trimester and fourth quarter honor rolls for Will County area students. All honor roll lists were submitted by area schools and districts. The schedule is as follows: • Monday: St. Mary Immaculate Plainfield, Plainfield Middle Schools

• Tuesday: Cathedral of St. Raymond School, Holy Family School, St. Mary Nativity, St. Paul the Apostle School, Lockport Township High School, Kelvin Grove School and Providence Catholic High School • Wednesday: Joliet Catholic Academy, Joliet Central High School, Joliet West High School, Elwood School • Thursday: Joliet Public Schools District 86, Richland School District 88A • Friday: Plainfield Central High School and Plainfield South High School.

Thank you for reading The Herald-News.

Art for healing’s sake Project will be sent to Dallas to show support

By BRIAN STANLEY

bstanley@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Pastor Lonnie Posley squeezed a gob of finger paint onto a visitor’s hand and began using a roller to cover the palm and fingers.

“Spread your hand out when you set it down,” Posley advised.

The handprint could go in any open space on the 4-by-6-foot canvas. When visitors have left enough prints, Posley will link the red, yellow, blue and green marks with painted branches so they become leaves. Two canvases of branches will be placed atop another canvas of a trunk and make a tree.

Posley, pastor of New Canaan Christian Church, believes exposure to art is one of the best healing tools next to medicine.

Next month, Posley will transport the piece to Dallas, where it will be donated to the police department.

The work will honor five officers slain July 7 in an ambush shooting by a lone

black gunman who told police he wanted to kill white cops – and proceeded to do so – as a protest against the killing of black men in Louisiana and Minnesota by police.

“My goddaughter lives in Dallas and knew some of those officers personally,” Posley said. “We shouldn’t use art just to make money, we can ... help hurting individuals.”

On Friday, Posley asked Joliet police officers to visit the church and leave their handprint and signature. He’ll also invite community leaders and “anyone else who wants to show support” to do the same in the next two weeks.

Posley uses trees as his motif because the roots and trunk show foundation and growth, the limbs show the benefit of spreading out to God and mankind, and the leaves are a sign of life.

Over the past few years, Posley has painted trees for the victims of the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, and the family of Trayvon Martin, who was fatally shot in Sanford, Florida. He also

Plane crash investigation still in fact-gathering stage

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – Patty Daniel had just finished making chicken salad late Thursday morning when she decided to rest in the family room of her home, rather than go upstairs.

A short time later, she heard a loud revving noise outside the home followed by an explosion. When she got up, she expected to see a vehicle through the front window, thinking there had been a car crash of some sort.

“It’s just hard to believe,” Daniel said. “An airplane is not something you think would land outside your house.”

But it did, and had she been upstairs, flames from the fire that scaled the side of her house and invaded the second floor immediately after the crash could have hurt her – or worse.

Authorities confirmed that a Piper PA-30 twin-engine airplane had crashed at 11:14 a.m. Thursday in the middle of Bedford Drive, which borders the Daniel family’s corner lot at 1812 Hampton Court in Joliet. Parts of the plane were located as far as a mile away, suggesting it might have been coming apart before it hit the ground, leaving the 1963 aircraft in pieces and the pilot dead.

The pilot was identified Friday as Garry Thomas Bernardo, 58, of Lake Worth, Florida, by the Will County Coroner’s Office. The coroner’s office said it used fingerprint comparison to confirm the identity; officials had said Thursday that the remains were in a condition that could not be immediately identified and it might take days or even weeks to confirm who the pilot was.

Bernardo was pronounced dead at 2:58 p.m. Thursday at Bedford Drive and Hampton Court. An autopsy performed Friday found the preliminary cause of death to be multiple injuries from the crash, according to the coroner’s office.

Officials believe Bernardo was the only person in the plane at the time of the crash. He took off Thursday from Florida and landed in Tennessee before taking off again to head toward Wisconsin. Ben Cody, a lineman at Upper Cumberland Regional Airport in Sparta, Tennessee, said Bernardo’s airplane landed at 8:59 a.m. Thursday and went to a self-service fueling area. He didn’t know of anyone who might have interacted with Bernardo.

Terry Williams, a spokesman with the National Transportation Safety Board, said Friday afternoon that the

Many people in the neighborhood have said they saw the plane twirling down as it headed north over the Brighton Lakes subdivision off Theodore Street. incident investigation is still in the fact-gathering stage.

Shorewood hosts annual Cardboard Boat Regatta Contestants sail away on cardboard and duct tape

By ALLISON SELK

Shaw Media correspondent SHOREWOOD – For the third time, the Shorewood residents of Callaway Drive have taken the title of fastest time in the mixed age group at the Village of Shorewood Cardboard Boat Regatta.

This year, the group stepped it up from its 13-foot boat from last year and boasted a 21-foot pirate ship named “Rated Aarrrgh” with 17 crew members.

“Every family involved brought duct tape and we worked together for the past 10 days until midnight,” team member David Pilon said. “All togeth-

er we went through 102 rolls of tape and 40 cases of beer to make this boat.”

Saturday marked the fourth annual Cardboard Boat Regatta held at Towne Center Park in Shorewood. Shorewood residents were eligible to create any style of boat, but they could use only cardboard and duct tape.

The boats then launched off a small temporary pier, around the fountain and to another pier, which equaled roughly 100 feet total distance village of Shorewood recreation and event coordinator Luke Gundersen said.

Gundersen said this year had 20 boats registered in categories of kids

Fire officials: No spike in area heat emergencies

By ANNA SCHIER

The weather had the potential to be dangerous in recent days, but it appears many area residents are taking steps to stay safe.

“We really haven’t noticed like a huge spike,” Joliet Deputy Fire Chief Ray Randich said Friday afternoon when asked about heat-related emergency response calls.

Temperatures rose Thursday as high as 93 degrees in Joliet and Morris, with heat indexes of up to 114 degrees in Joliet and 109 in Morris – the highest seen widely across the area since 2012, National Weather Service meteorologist Ricky Castro said Friday afternoon.

The weekend looked to be scorchers too, although not quite as severe as Thursday.

Despite the extreme weather, Randich said, the fire department has had no calls that were out of the ordinary or specifically attributable to the climate.

For the city’s firefighters, however, it’s hard to stay away from the heat, and the department has been careful to keep safety in mind in recent days.

The agency is rotating crews every 30 to 45 minutes when responding to fires, as opposed to keeping firefighters on

Weekend forecast

Firefighters and paramedics cool off from the high heat Thursday after responding to a plane crash that set a home ablaze in Joliet.

aschier@shawmedia.com

Temperatures for Sunday in Will and Grundy counties are projected to be in the low 90s with a heat index of about 105. There is also a chance of thunderstorms, with the highest likelihood for storms being overnight Saturday into Sunday. Temperatures Monday are predicted to be in the mid-80s, and the weather is anticipated to be less humid.

scene wearing heavy gear for the duration of the incident.

“You’re automatically sweating in that as soon as you put it on,” Randich said.

The department employed crew rotations Thursday at the site of a plane crash in west Joliet.

The agency also kept ice and water at the scene for firefighters. Residents brought the responders cases of water and bags of ice as well, which Randich said the department greatly appreciated.

But even so, three firefighters suf-

fered heat exhaustion and had to leave the site, said Randich, who added they have all recovered.

Plainfield residents appear to be keeping out of the weather’s way. Plainfield Fire Protection District Battalion Chief Mike Obman said Friday afternoon that he hasn’t seen any recent heat-related emergencies.

But district vehicles are carrying extra water and IV equipment, just in case.

“We are definitely prepared for it,” Obman said.

Although it feels steamy outside, the temperatures late in the week were low-

er than expected, Castro said.

“The humidity is what made it oppressively hot,” he said of the weather Thursday.

An excessive heat warning in Grundy County began midday Thursday and was to continue through Saturday evening, Castro said. The same warning was put in place midday Thursday for Will County, but it was changed to a heat advisory midday Friday. That was in effect through Saturday evening as well.

Castro noted the importance of heat safety during extreme weather, which includes limiting time outdoors, wearing light clothes, taking breaks during outdoor activity, drinking water and staying in an air-conditioned environment if possible. He also stressed that pets and children should never be left in cars, particularly in hot weather.

MINOOKA – Minooka Community High School District 111 bus drivers were split on union issues at Thursday’s school board meeting, with one group in active negotiations with the district for its first contract and the other saying the majority never even agreed to be in the union in the first place.

Chief School Business Official John Troy said the bus drivers and bus aides received formal union certification from the Illinois Labor Relations Board in November 2015, and, as a result, the district is legally bound to deal with the union even if the majority of the drivers now say they do not want to be union members.

“The majority of the group evidently did sign the union card,” Troy said after the meeting.

Troy said there are strict requirements the ILRB has for validating new union membership. A petition was sub-

mitted by a group of the drivers to invalidate membership after it was certified, he said, but it was sent too late and was denied.

Some of the drivers at the meeting said they did not think they ever signed a legal agreement to join the union.

“We have a list of 37 drivers out of 48 that stated they don’t want to be in the union,” said Ron Cingrani, a 13-year district bus driver. “We didn’t feel there was a need for the Teamsters, and we still don’t. We’re happy with our jobs, and we don’t want to pay fair share. ...

I don’t know where they came up with the numbers to get this union in.”

“I know we have a lot of people who are not for the union,” driver and union negotiations committee member Carl Ullian told the board. “We’re not asking for the moon. We just want fair and equal wages ... and some respect from the side of the administration at the bus garage.”

• BUS DRIVERS

Continued from page 9 Troy said the district’s drivers have one year after their formal union certification with Teamsters Local 179, which also represents drivers and aides for Minooka District 201, to begin a decertification process if they desire. Until then, negotiations will proceed.

The drivers have voted to approve strike authorization, but have not agreed to go on strike yet.

“None of us want to strike,” driver Tina Nall said after the meeting. “We want to be able to take our kids in and work as normal. ... It’s just moving very slowly.”

Driver and negotiating committee member Denise Johnson said the union members and the district are in federal mediation regarding their contract.

“We are trying to get better working conditions like respect and transparency,” Johnson said after the meeting,

“and we’re currently negotiating with the school, but we weren’t getting anywhere with it, so we asked for mediation.”

Johnson said the need for better transparency includes making sure the drivers are receiving the same pay and equal opportunities for certain jobs.

There is also a safety issue, she said.

“We don’t have the right to ‘down’ our buses if they’re not working,” she said. “They’ll just sometimes tell us to take them.”

On the phone before the meeting bus driver and negotiating committee member Joan Coop said the district has been holding negotiations with the drivers since February.

The board offered no comment or response to the statements given by drivers Thursday, other than to express appreciation for the work the drivers do. Board member Kristine Shipla was absent.

Troy said the next negotiation meetings will be Aug. 2 and Aug. 9.

District 210 also looking at appraisal of properties

ELMHURST – A Bolingbrook man was arrested Thursday and charged with the recent robbery of a Dress Barn in Elmhurst, according to Elmhurst police.

Anthony D. Harris, 40, of the 200 block of Blackberry Drive in Bolingbrook, is charged with aggravated robbery in con- Anthony D. Harris nection with a July 15 incident in which he allegedly held up the Dress Barn at 167 S. Route 83 and implied that he had a weapon, according to a news release from the Elmhurst Police Department.

Harris then allegedly gathered the store employees into a bathroom after they opened the cash registers and fled on foot, police said.

Harris was arrested without incident near his Bolingbrook home and taken to the DuPage County Jail.

“Over the next month or so, we’re going to have to discuss the possibility of getting some help to handle some of the volume of these.”

Lincoln-Way School District 210 superintendent

NEW LENOX – The number of Freedom of Information Act requests at Lincoln-Way School District 210 has been taxing on its staff, the district’s superintendent said.

Superintendent Scott Tingley told the board Thursday that the district has received 97 FOIA requests in a little over a month. District staff is also collecting information for the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and U.S. Department of Justice, he said.

“Over the next month or so, we’re going to have to discuss the possibility of getting some help to handle some of the volume of these,” he said.

Board member Ronald Lullo asked Tingley between Tingley and Brian Murphy, the district’s technology director, how much of their week is allocated to responding to FOIAs. Tingley said several hours a day are dedicated to the requests.

“It’s 97 in little over a month. It’s a busy month,” he said.

He said the bookkeeping and clerical staff, as well as attorneys, also work on the requests.

Residents and media have been examining district finances and other issues through FOIA requests since the news of financial instability at District 210 came to light in spring 2015.

Between late August and early March, about 375 requests were sent to the district.

District 210 is under a federal grand jury investigation as well as one by the SEC to determine whether any securities laws have been violated.

The district has been criticized by residents for its lack of transparency and financial mismanagement since the board decided last year to close North High School to cut costs.

Land appraisal

Tingley said the district has received quotes for appraisals on properties it owns in order to market them.

The district owns property at 191st Street and Harlem Avenue in Tinley Park, as well as in Manhattan.

The prices received were $9,300 from Associated Property Counselors, $7,500 from Appraisal Associates and $9,500 from Gorman Group.

District officials recommended going with Appraisal Associates, and the board approved the action Thursday.

The appraisal of the properties would be completed in a month, said Steve Langert, the district’s business manager.

Once the appraisal is done, it will be up to the board what the next steps are regarding the properties.

“u diti al lolove”” “unconditional

“Help carrying the groceries”

“ to be adored by the ones she loves” Local residents head for “companionship” Democratic convention AP photo

A worker wires a phone on the convention floor as setup continues Saturday before the 2016 Democratic Convention in Philadelphia.

By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com There is little suspense but still some excitement going into the Democratic National Convention that starts Monday.

Presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton announced her running mate, Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, on Saturday, perhaps answering the last big question remaining before 5,000 delegates assemble in Philadelphia.

But there still is a potential challenge to party unity from Bernie Sanders supporters.

Also, a Democratic Party nomination of a woman to run for president will be important to many convention goers.

“This just feels like a culmination of a dream,” said Lisa Morel Las of Joliet, who is attending the convention but is not a delegate.

Las, who is executive director of the Will County Children’s Advocacy Center, said the nomination is “life changing” for someone like herself who grew up never thinking a woman would become a major-party candidate for president.

“I’ve been able to live from that era to now when young women don’t even think it’s a big deal,” Las said.

“For these young women, it doesn’t seem like a big deal. For me, it’s life-changing.”

Younger people watching the convention may be more curious to see what Bernie Sanders has to say when he speaks.

Sanders took some suspense out of the convention when he endorsed

Clinton. But he did not release his delegates.

“I’m going to cast my vote for Bernie Sanders. He’s the best candidate,” said Jacqueline Traynere, a Sanders delegate from Bolingbrook who was elected when the 11th Congressional District went with Sanders.

The “Bernie or Bust” spirit is still alive with supporters of the Vermont senator planning protests outside the convention hall. Their cause may have been fueled when Wikileaks on Friday released hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee indicating collusion to support Clinton.

But state Sen. Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant, D-Shorewood, a Clinton delegate from the 14th Congressional District, believes party unity will prevail.

“I think Bernie Sanders’ message has been to come together and support one candidate, and I think we’ll see that when we get to Philadelphia,” Bertino-Tarrant said.

Grundy County will send two delegates and two volunteers to the convention, Grundy County Democratic Party Chairman Dick Joyce said.

Joyce alluded to some of the dissension over Donald Trump’s nomination as the Republican candidate.

“We’re proud to send delegates who are not ashamed of our candidate,” he said. “In fact, they’re very pleased with the candidate – unlike the Republicans.”

The delegates are Angie McDonald of Morris and John Daniel of Minooka. The volunteers are Lana Phillips, the former Grundy County clerk, and Luella Kellog of Morris.

Rauner working with police on marijuana bill

By IVAN MORENO

The Associated Press SPRINGFIELD – Gov. Bruce Rauner is working with the Illinois State Police on how to handle a proposal to make marijuana possession in small amounts punishable only with fines under a bill he appears poised to sign.

The legislation, which also sets a standard for what’s considered too high to drive, includes stronger provisions the Republican governor suggested to lawmakers last year as a condition for signing off on removing jail time for having 10 grams or less of pot. A chief sponsor of this year’s bill, Sen. Heather Steans, a Chicago Democrat, said the Rauner administration has assured her he will sign the bill but is waiting until next month to give law enforcement time to prepare for its implementation.

The bill comes as many states reconsider whether jail is the most appropriate punishment for petty pot offenses. If signed, Illinois would be the 17th state – and third largest – to treat possession of marijuana in small amounts as a civil offense rather than a criminal one, according to the Marijuana Policy Project, which tracks legislation on the topic nationally.

New York and California are among the states that have made the change.

Gov. Bruce Rauner speaks to reporters June 27 in his office at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Ill. AP file photo

Rauner has indicated support for reducing penalties for marijuana offenses, but his spokeswoman said in a statement he’s still reviewing the bill.

Lawmakers sent Rauner the bill June 16 and he has 60 days from that date to take action.

The proposal passed with bipartisan support, but some in law enforcement have reservations. Greg Sullivan, the executive director of the Illinois Sheriff’s Association, said the bill doesn’t differentiate between minors and adults who are caught with small amounts of pot, and that the new approach may not bring proper attention to problem use by minors.

Opponents are also concerned that reducing penalties for marijuana possession sends a message that it isn’t harmful. But about 100 Illinois communities, including Chicago, already give police discretion to issue citations instead of making arrests for having small amounts of the drug. Lawmakers said they want to promote consistency in how minor marijuana offenses are handled.

The legislation would also require municipalities to purge citation records for possession every six months, unless local governments decide against it. Supporters of the bill argue people shouldn’t be saddled with lifelong criminal records for minor offenses that make it difficult

to find employment or housing.

When Rauner vetoed last year’s legislation, he said in a letter to lawmakers that the existing penalties for petty marijuana offenses are “too severe” and that “criminal prosecution of cannabis possession is also a drain on public resources.” He wrote that he supports “the fundamental purposes” of the initiative.

He said he would sign the proposal if sponsors made changes he wanted. In the bill he vetoed, lawmakers wanted possession of up to 15 grams of marijuana to be a civil offense punishable with a fine between $55 and $125. Rauner wanted the threshold to be lower – 10 grams or less – and the fines higher – between $100 and $200.

Rauner recommended the DUI standard for marijuana should be 5 nanograms of THC, marijuana’s intoxicating chemical, in a driver’s blood within two hours of consumption. Lawmakers initially proposed that the standard be 15 nanograms.

Currently, any trace of marijuana is enough to be considered impaired, but pot advocates have long criticized zero-tolerance states’ approach because marijuana can stay in a person’s system for several weeks.

The bill now on Rauner’s desk has included all of his suggestions.

“Rated Aarrrgh” sails in the pond Saturday during the annual Cardboard Boat Regatta at Towne Center Park in Shorewood. catamaran-style boat that proved to be difficult to stay afloat.

“It was pretty obvious we would sink, so I jumped on the sides, and then I broke the side of the boat,” teammate Brennan Derring, 7, said.

“As I rowed, I could feel the bottom of the lake with my feet, I tried not to fall off. The best part was sinking be-

cause the water felt pretty good,” said teammate Samantha Cartwright, 8.

The fastest time in an adult led boat went to “Zip Chicago” named after the zip-line business out of Marseilles.

Team captain Jesse Diaz said he was glad it floated, and chose the canoe-like design because “it’s the best design.”

Perhaps one of the most comical

events to the days was when the boat named “Blast” lost the father on the boat from the back, and the kids kept going despite the lost crew member.

“They wanted to go faster so they knocked me out,” Brad McCann said.

“We had uneven weight since I weigh more than they do, and they didn’t need me, that’s for sure.”

“This was two weeks’ worth of team building before the event with my grandsons.

We got to know each other better in the past two weeks than we have in the past year.”

The 90-degree day proved to be perfect. Over 200 spectators and racers lined the pond next to the village hall for the regatta, which turned into a community picnic with tents, music, food and drinks.

“This was a social event where people spend time with other people, which made it rewarding,” Shorewood Mayor Rick Chapman said. “People come out with their boats, food, libations and have a good time.”

Chapman and five of his grandsons spent two weeks to make their boat named “Raider,” with a red dragon head and tail on the boat, which took the trophy for best themed boat.

“This was two weeks’ worth of team building before the event with my grandsons,” Chapman said. “We got to know each other better in the past two weeks than we have in the past year.”

Each boat crew took at timed run, and if they wished, a second to improve on time. Members of Callaway Drive and Chapman heckled each other on Facebook before the competition, which continued at the regatta itself.

“No one was rooting against one another, but there was some trash talking to add a little flavor,” Chapman said.

The trophy for best sink went to “USS Freedom,” for its valiant effort to make it to the finish line despite their

CHICAGO – Social service providers suing Gov. Bruce Rauner’s administration over fallout from the budget impasse say the stop-gap budget won’t have a “meaningful” impact.

Nearly 100 groups named in a lawsuit filed new court documents this week assessing the impact of the partial spending plan lawmakers approved.

The groups contend the stop-gap plan doesn’t “guarantee any meaningful payment.”

The Pay Now Illinois coalition says it’s owed roughly $161 million in unpaid work.

They want the court to force payment.

After a yearlong budget stalemate, legislators approved a temporary measure to cover parts of the previous and current fiscal years.

Rauner said this week that he understands the groups’ frustrations. The organization led by his wife is among the groups suing. Diana Rauner says suing was a “business decision.”

The next hearing is Monday.

CHICAGO – The Illinois Supreme Court agreed Friday to quickly take up a case challenging the constitutionality of a ballot measure that could alter the way Illinois draws its political maps.

Just two days after a Cook County judge ruled the redistricting question was unconstitutional for November’s ballot, the state’s high court granted an emergency motion for direct appeal and set a briefing schedule, bypassing the appellate court.

A group called the Independent Map Amendment cited an Aug. 26 State Board of Elections deadline to get on the ballot in their request to the court. They’ve proposed an 11-member commission be in charge of drawing the state’s legislative boundaries, instead of party leaders. It’s the second time since 2014 supporters of redistricting reform have tried to get the high-stakes issue before voters. In both cases, an attorney linked to top Democrats in power filed a lawsuit questioning the constitutionality.

The court, which didn’t indicate whether there’d be oral arguments, set deadlines for briefs on July 28, Aug. 4 and Aug. 9.

HELEN REED

Born: July 3, 1912 Died: July 3, 2016

Helen Reed, resident of Friendship Village in Schaumburg, formerly of Lockport and later, Park Ridge, passed away on her 104th birthday, July 3, 2016.

One of nine children, Helen was born in Chicago on July 3, 1912, to Swedish immigrant parents, Sevander and Selma (Carlson) Johnson. Her mother died when Helen was 15 years old. Helen took on many household tasks and cared for her four younger siblings.

She became a resourceful young woman, developing skills in cooking and sewing, while completing her education.

Helen attended Chicago Teachers College, then DePaul University, earning a degree in education. She taught elementary students at several Chicago schools, then became certified in special education, and taught children with special needs. Helen married Elwyn “Bud” Reed, also a teacher, in March 1941. After Bud returned from serving in the U.S. Navy, the couple lived in Chicago, then bought the former Peabody horse farm near Lemont, where they resided for several years. In 1955, the Reeds purchased land in Homer Township near Lockport, building a home on 100 acres of mostly wooded land. They lived there until 1972. This property is now known as Deboer Woods. After retiring, Helen and Bud moved to Park Ridge where they resided for 27 years before making Friendship Village their home in 1999.

Helen was an energetic woman with varied interests and talents. She could make tailored clothes and bake wedding cakes. She prepared delicious meals for a few or for a crowd. A lifelong learner, she took classes in cake-decorating, candy making, upholstering, painting and wood carving. She was an avid reader, bridge player and a whiz at crossword puzzles. Helen’s life reflected an unwavering devotion to her immediate and her large, extended family. She happily used her time and talents to bless their lives.

Helen was preceded in death by her husband (2001); and all of her siblings (and their spouses), Alice, Edward, Elmer, Herbert, Ruby, Mildred “Billie,” Alan “Bud” and Vernon “Spike.”

Her memory will be cherished by her children, John (Susan) Reed, Donna (Paul) Rumer and Sue Reed; her grandchildren, Jeffrey (Allyn) Reed and Michelle Reed (Robert Pazely, fiancé); great-grandson, Jack Reed; and many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will be held on Sunday, July 31, 2016, 2 p.m. at St. Peter Lutheran Church, 111 W. Olive St., Arlington Heights.

Dad, Pop, Uncle Bill was born in Joliet on Oct. 13, 1929. As a young child he grew up in old Romeo, off of 135th St. He would often talk of his childhood days spent working in the family tavern.

After losing both parents at an early age, raising him became the duty of his older siblings. Bill proceeded to graduate from Lockport Township High School in 1947. Following in the footsteps of his family, he became a union iron worker in the Local 444, where he retired in 1989, was a union member for nearly 60 years, interrupted only by three years in the Army. He worked building bridges and setting iron all over northern Illinois.

On May 1, 1954, he married Wilma Bernice Young and finally settled in 1958 at the family homestead in Romeoville, where he would live for the next 58 years. Family gatherings sometimes numbering in the hundreds, especially at the famous “October Birthday Parties” were such a joy for him. Bill could often be seen having an Old Style with friends working in his garden, feeding squirrels and watching the kids play sports, while seemingly having a contest on who could yell at the refs the loudest. Bill loved playing softball and played for many organizations in the Joliet area. He loved his kids and grandkids, watching old movies and sports on TV. He was also a great cook, coach for his kids, and there was no bigger fan watching his kids play sports except for maybe Wilma. In his later years, Bill watched a lot of TV, (especially westerns) and was maybe the best Euchre player in the world.

ACLU praises new cellphone surveillance limits “Cell site simulator technology is too powerful to remain unregulated.”

The ASSOCIATED PRESS SPRINGFIELD – A new Illinois law limits how police can use devices that cast a wide net in gathering cellphone data and are at the center of a lawsuit against the Chicago Police Department.

Gov. Bruce Rauner signed the legislation into law on Friday and drew immediate praise from civil libertarians.

The technology, a cell site simulator, is perhaps best known by the brand name Stingray. It gathers phone-usage data on targets of criminal investigations, but it also gathers data on other cellphones – hundreds or even thousands of them – in the area.

The new law requires police to delete the phone information of anyone who wasn’t an investigation target within 24 hours. It also prohibits police from accessing data for use in an investigation not authorized by a judge.

A dozen other states have adopted such regulations, and Congress is considering legislation that would strengthen federal guidelines already in place.

Chicago police are being sued by plaintiffs who are trying to force it to release records about how it uses this technology.

Privacy advocates worry that without limits on how much data can be gathered or how long it can be stored, law enforcement could use the technology to build databases that track the behavior and movement of people who are not part of criminal investigations.

Authorities, though, have argued that cellphone tracking can be useful.

NATION & WORLD BRIEFS IS attacks protest in Afghan capital, kills 80

KABUL, Afghanistan – The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing on a peaceful protest in the Afghan capital on Saturday that killed at least 80 people and wounded more than 200, marking the first time the extremists have struck Kabul and raising fears of their growing strength and capability in Afghanistan.

The attack was the deadliest to hit Kabul in 15 years of civil war. It struck a demonstration by Afghanistan’s Hazara ethnic community, who were marching for a major power line to be routed through their home province. The Hazaras are Shiite Muslims, most Afghans are Sunnis.

Two suicide bombers had attempted to target the demonstrators, but one of them was shot by police before he could detonate his explosives, said Haroon Chakhansuri, a spokesman for Afghan President Ashraf Ghani. He said that three city district police chiefs were injured and another three security personnel were killed.

to lure young victims to their deaths through a faked Facebook posting, authorities said Saturday.

Information from witnesses indicated his hatred of foreigners might have played a role in the mass shooting, even though he himself was the German-born son of Iranian asylum-seekers.

The 18-year-old Munich highschool student with Iranian and German citizenship also wounded more than two dozen others Friday night before turning his illegal Glock 17 pistol on himself.

AP poll: Support grows for stricter gun laws

Americans increasingly favor tougher gun laws by margins that have grown wider after a steady drumbeat of shootings in recent months, but they also are pessimistic that change will happen anytime soon, according to a new Associated Press-GfK poll.

Nearly two-thirds of respondents expressed support for stricter laws, with majorities favoring nationwide bans on the sale of semi-automatic assault weapons such as the AR-15 and on the sale of high-capacity magazines holding 10 or more bullets.

Clinton: Veep pick Tim Kaine is everything GOP ticket isn’t

By KEN THOMAS and LISA LERER The Associated Press

MIAMI – Hillary Clinton debuted running mate Sen. Tim Kaine on Saturday as a can-do progressive committed to social justice and equality – “everything Donald Trump and Mike Pence are not” – at a boisterous rally ahead of next week’s Democratic National Convention.

“He is qualified to step into this job and lead from Day One. And he is a progressive who likes to get things done,” Clinton declared at Florida International University.

Kaine, a bilingual former Virginia governor, detailed his life in public service. “I like to fight for right,” he said.

And, as Clinton smiled broadly at her choice for vice president, Kaine greeted the largely Hispanic audience in Spanish. “We’re going to be ‘compañeros de alma,’ in this great ‘lucha’ ahead,” he said, or “soulmates in this great fight ahead.”

Trump, in a text to his own supporters, said President Barack Obama, Clinton and Kaine were “the ultimate insiders” and implored voters to not “let Obama have a 3rd term.”

At the splashy rally, Democrats sought to offer a contrast with Trump and Pence, whose first appearance together in a New York City hotel ballroom included a lengthy speech by the GOP businessman and much more limited remarks from Pence, the Indiana governor. The two only briefly posed for photos at their campaign kickoff.

Clinton chose to introduce Kaine as her running mate in the battleground state of Florida, waving to the large crowd of cheering supporters as they bounded on stage with their hands raised in the traditional sign of unity. Clinton sought to present the partnership as one built in optimism, panning the Republican convention, which ended two days earlier, as a display of “fear,” “anger and resentment.”

AP photo

Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Virginia (right) takes a selfie with a member of the audience Saturday after speaking at a rally with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at Florida International University Panther Arena in Miami. Clinton has chosen Kaine as her running mate.

She noted that Kaine had taken a year off from Harvard Law School to do missionary work in Honduras and had worked as a civil-rights attorney specializing in equal housing. Clinton said Kaine as governor worked with Republicans and helped his home state navigate the Great Recession without sacrificing funding for education.

She also pointed to his work on gun control after the deadly Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, praising his efforts to curb gun violence before a nation still reeling from a series of shootings and violence against police.

“Behind that smile Tim also has a backbone of steel.

Just ask the NRA,” Clinton said.

Choking up, Kaine described the Virginia Tech shooting as the “worst day ... of my life.”

Kaine, 58, was long viewed as a likely choice because of his résumé in government and his time as chairman of the Democratic National Committee. He also had a particularly powerful backer in Obama, whom Kaine endorsed in 2007. Obama considered him for vice president a year later.

Kaine showed a willingness to mix it up with the Republican ticket, assailing Trump as someone who had

left “a trail of broken promises and wrecked lives wherever he goes.”

He also vouched for Clinton’s trustworthiness, a major liability with voters, telling the crowd, “She has always delivered.”

He pointed out that his father-in-law was a Republican governor of Virginia who had integrated the public schools.

He called marrying his wife, Anne Holton, “the best decision of my life.” The couple planned to be back in Richmond on Sunday for 9 a.m.

Catholic Mass.

Holton, who wiped away tears during the speech, is the state’s education secretary and a former state judge. The couple has three adult children, including a son, Nat, a Marine who is going on a deployment Monday, aides said.

Kaine is likely to be a valuable asset for the Democratic ticket in appealing to Hispanic Americans turned off by Trump’s harsh rhetoric about immigrants.

Trump was not making public appearances on Saturday but took to Twitter to seek to undercut Clinton’s new addition, pointing to the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal and Wall Street as areas where supporters of one-time Clinton rival Bernie Sanders might split with Kaine.

gathered bits of the plane and loaded them onto a flatbed trailer. Williams said the remnants of the plane would be taken to a secure place for a detailed examination.

Joliet Deputy Fire Chief Ray Randich said an insurance adjuster from the pilot’s insurance company also was on the scene Friday, as was a company representative from Piper Aircraft to examine the wreckage.

The Daniel family will be staying in a hotel for about a week until they find a temporary rental home. Insurance adjusters will evaluate the home’s frame Monday to see whether it’s strong enough to build on, Rick said. There are no ceilings left inside the house and the basement has 2 or 3 inches of water in it.

“They told us it’d probably be six to eight months that we’ll be out of here,” Rick said. “We love the neighborhood.

One way or another, we’ll rebuild or remodel. We’re coming back here.”

Patty said the outpouring of support from family, friends, neighbors and coworkers has been a tremendous relief.

She slept from 3:30 to 7 a.m. Friday at a hotel nearby.

“I laid there an hour before falling asleep,” she said. “That’s when it sinks in. I tried not to cry loudly, so Rick could sleep.”

When they do return to their home, Patty’s mother’s dining room set will still be proudly on display. It was undamaged. Her mother died in 1995, a few years after they moved into the house. The set has been a focal point of the Daniel home.

“Mom was very religious,” Patty said. “I feel like she had something to do with saving that dining room set.”

was at a hospital in Casper, Wyoming, on Thursday morning for a business meeting when he got a call from his wife.

He assumed she accidentally dialed him. When he left the meeting, he checked his messages.

Rick listened to Patty’s muffled, frantic voicemail and began calling the home phone and her cellphone before making contact with a neighbor down the street. His wife was there.

“Patty told me, ‘The house exploded,’ ” he recalled Friday in front of their charred home.

Rick said his first thought was that his recent home remodeling work in the basement had gone horribly wrong.

He was concerned he had drilled into a gas line.

Then, an alert appeared on his cellphone. It said an airplane had crashed into an area home.

“I was relieved I didn’t cause it,” Rick said. “Patty was quite hysterical at the time. Once I knew Patty and the dog were all right, I relaxed a bit.”

But Rick’s day was far from over.

He tried to find a flight to Chicago out of Casper, but there were none. He got into his rental car and drove almost five hours south to Denver for the nearest available flight.

When Rick’s flight reached Chicago-area airspace Thursday evening, a strong thunderstorm was overhead.

The plane circled around Grand Rapids, Michigan, for an hour and 20 minutes before getting permission to land at O’Hare International Airport.

“The four hours I was in the air, it was dead silence,” Rick said. “I had no contact with anybody. There’s nothing worse than feeling totally helpless, and there’s nothing you can do.”

To make matters worse, there weren’t any open gates. He and other passengers sat in the plane for another 45 minutes on the tarmac.

“Meanwhile, I’m getting more and more anxious,” Rick said.

He pulled into his neighborhood close to midnight.

“I came in, saw Joliet police, and this place looked like Las Vegas with all the lights on,” Rick said. “It looked like daylight, but it was pouring down rain.”

Workers were at the home all day Friday doing cleanup. Windows that were blown out by the fire were boarded up. An aircraft recovery company

BUSINESS

Don’t trust Musk’s gambit TAKING STOCK Malcolm Berko Dear Mr. Berko: I’m one of the “stupids,” as you call them, who bought 200 shares of Tesla Motors at $265 in April. I should have listened to you, because the stock is now trading below $210. What do you think of Tesla’s purchase of SolarCity? Should I continue to hold Tesla or sell it? – CM, Akron, Ohio Dear CM: On June 19, Elon “The Wacko” Musk, Tesla’s screwball CEO, bragged on Twitter that his Model S car “floats well enough to turn it into a boat.”

A couple of days later, this fruitcake decided to merge SolarCity (he’s a major shareholder), with cumulative losses in the billions of dollars, into Tesla (he’s also a major shareholder), which also has cumulative losses of billions. Neither company has near-term profit prospects, and both expect to continue posting losses for the foreseeable future.

Musk, once a Wall Street darling, is in trouble, big fat financial trouble, and some banking partners are becoming nervous about their money and Elon’s sanity. Musk knows that his empire is imploding, that his personal and business bank accounts are bleeding, and that investors fear that the Tesla, like the Fisker and the Edsel, could eventually disappear into the ether and vapors.

This merger of two cash-hungry businesses has as much chance at success as one would have in teaching a 3-pound lady lobster to play a harpsichord. This merger, even in the most Panglossian sense, surpasses the bounds of logic by orders of magnitude. This stretch-

es the ethical limits of propriety; SolarCity’s CEO is Elon’s pal and first cousin, Lyndon Rive, who, with Elon, borrowed heavily to buy SolarCity shares that were down 60 percent from the previous year’s purchase price.

Tesla (TSLA-$210) and SolarCity (SCTY-$25) burn cash like gigantic industrial waste incinerators. And TSLA’s $5 billion battery factory ($1.5 billion financed by the state of Nevada) is having technical and money problems and may not turn a profit until 2021. TSLA burns 52 cents of cash for each dollar of sales, while SCTY burns $5.91 for every dollar of sales.

However, Lyn and Elon believe they will have “the world’s only vertically integrated energy company offering end-to-end clean energy products,” starting “with the car that you drive and the energy that you use to charge it” and extending “to how everything else in your home or business is powered.”

Elon and Lyn reason that the deal makes sense because they think consumers who buy Tesla’s cars also want solar power for their homes and the consumers want it from the same company. These two banana-heads must be smoking some pretty strong stuff that is altering their cognitive abilities. This merger suggests that there is some permanent impairment of their temporal and frontal lobes.

TSLA believes that it has orders for 400,000 Model 3s at $35,000 a pop, which is the starting price for the base model; then the lucky buyers get a $7,500 tax credit, which reduces the cost of the Tesla to $27,500.

I’m sure this credit doesn’t warm the heart cockles of the bosses at General Motors, Ford or Chrysler, some of whom might sacrifice some body parts for that generous government boondoggle. So if you

Musk recently merged his company with solar energy firm SolarCity. purchase a Tesla Model 3 and your accountant says you have a federal income tax bill for 2016 of $10,000, the $7,500 tax credit approved by your congressman for Elon’s company will reduce your tax bill to $2,500. Without that tax credit, Tesla could be out of business in a month of Mondays.

Meanwhile, Tesla owners have reported various annoying problems with their vehicles, and many owners promised not to make the defects public. Someone ought to ask a TSLA executive why that was necessary. The Model S is having big problems – which seem to be getting worse, not better. The problems with the Model S are so bad that Consumer Reports recently pulled its recommendation.

So where will the escargot? What if the Model S car’s problems are replicated in the Model 3? Sell your TSLA now.

PHILADELPHIA – Comcast’s and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s ConnectHome initiative has taken steps to close the digital divide in America.

Public housing and HUD-assisted residents living in Comcast’s service area, which includes the area of Will and Grundy counties, are eligible to apply for Internet Essentials, the company’s high-speed internet adoption program for low-income families, according to a news release from Comcast.

Including homes covered by Comcast’s pilot public housing expansion announced in March, an estimated total of up to 2 million HUD-assisted homes, including Public Housing, Housing Choice Voucher, and Multifamily programs, will now have access to low-cost internet service, according to the news release.

Between 2009 and 2014, broadband service providers spent more than $422 billion on capital investments, and three in four American households now use broadband at home. Still, one in four American households don’t access the internet at home, particularly lower-income families with children.

ConnectHome strives to ensure students can access the same level of high-speed Internet at home that they have in their classrooms. This is the ninth time in five years Comcast has expanded eligibility for Internet Essentials, according to the news release.

The policy change marks the first time, nationally, households without children eligible to participate in the National School Lunch Program are officially able to apply for Internet Essentials. In 2011, the program was first offered to families with children eligible to receive a free school lunch from the National School Lunch Program. It was expanded, in 2012, to children eligible for the reduced price school lunch program.

In 2013, Comcast expanded eligibility to include families with children in parochial, private, charter and cyber schools, as well as students who are home-schooled. Last year, Comcast extended the program two more times, on a pilot basis, to low-income seniors and low-income community college students, according to the news release.

OUR VIEW

Constitution should serve Illinois’ people Illinois’ system of government is rigged against the very people who work day in and day out to pay for it.

We’ve known that for years, but it was proven once again last week when a second attempt to change how state political districts are drawn was thrown out by a Cook County judge who called it unconstitutional.

More than 550,000 Illinois residents signed a ballot proposal that sought to ask voters whether they wanted to take the power to draw Illinois legislative districts away from political party leaders and instead give it to a nonpartisan, independent 11-member commission.

The same effort in 2014 also was thrown out by a judge.

Backers of the “fair maps” proposal said they learned from the 2014 attempt and worked to fix the flaws this year. But because the system is rigged, their last hope is an appeal to the Illinois Supreme Court, which agreed Friday to grant an emergency hearing.

The will of the people to have a say on how their government operates should not be so complicated, nor should it be unconstitutional. If it truly is unconstitutional, then our constitution, ratified in 1972, must be revised.

Voters in other states have the power to make changes to their government and its laws that directly impact their lives. Sometimes, the measures that voters support at the ballot box go against the will of the state’s politicians. So be it. Illinois, however, allows only a very narrow amount of direct democracy. Only constitutional amendments may be voted on, and only those pertaining to “structural and procedural measures.” The only binding measures Illinoisans are allowed to weigh in on are those placed before them by their politicians.

The state’s political establishment, especially Speaker Michael Madigan and ruling Democrats, are desperate to keep the general public from having a say. They know people are angry and they have good reasons to be angry.

There is a gap of about $8 billion between what the state takes in and what it spends. The state’s pension systems are underfunded by more than $110 billion.

Ever-growing payments to support them are crippling the government. Illinois’ property tax burden is among the highest in the country. The state has a backlog of unpaid bills that tops $7 billion.

Despite all of this, more than 59 percent of races for the Illinois House – 70 of 118 – are uncontested. In the state Senate, 70 percent of the 40 races are uncontested.

This is where the system that allows politicians to pick their voters – instead of the other way around – has gotten us.

We need a constitution that makes government serve the people, and not the oligopoly of political power-brokers who seem content to wait for walls to come down around them before they appeal for a federal bailout.

Cleaning out all those items of no particular use Meet strange and exotic people.

Haggle over ancient artifacts. Reap vast quantities of nickel and copper.

Archaeological expedition, Alexandria?

No. Garage sale, Joliet.

We’ve had a garage for more than a quarter century now. It came with the house. And over those 25 years I’ve been able to use it – you know, to actually park my car in – a total of about six months.

All the rest of the time it’s been filled with a colossal hoard that would rival that of Smaug the Magnificent. A treasure pile, however, this was not.

Over the years it’s been a repository filled with items of no particular use, yet still considered valuable by my wife and three adult daughters.

Things like a 1985 ½ Mercury Lynx, my middle daughter’s first car. No longer running, but too cute to junk. Or my youngest daughter’s ex-boyfriend’s pinball machine.

Again, no workee, but no junkee.

Or my son-in-law’s multi-bottle shot dispenser, a gift from his future in-laws (it seemed like a good idea at the time.)

Or any of dozens of other artifacts collected over the years, left over from childhood indulgences, college accou-

MIDLIFE CIRCUS Bill Wimbiscus trement and broken relationships.

Furniture, cookware, fashion from the turn of the century … you name it, we probably had it.

Now that we’re empty-nesters, one of my main missions in life has been to reclaim the garage. Last year I managed to sell off our fleet of old cars, investing the proceeds in new garage doors. You know, the kind that actually open and close, unlike the old ones which had become hermetically sealed with age.

So when my wife said, “Let’s get the junk out of the garage and make it look, you know, nice,” I was on it.

Never mind this is the fifth time she’s had me clean out the hoard.

First we coaxed the girls home with promises of homemade tacos and yard sale lucre. Then we forced them to glean the garage, basement and attic for unwanted items. So now instead of just having stacks of unwanted items in the garage, we had them all over the house.

Then came sorting. Women are

funny, especially when it comes to clothing. Each article was carefully examined and a price determined, before it was hung on a rack, or else carefully folded and placed on a table.

My oldest, who has twin daughters, spent hours sorting baby clothes and artfully arranging them by size and color.

Nobody liked my idea, which was to throw everything in box marked “$1 each.”

My job at this point was to obtain the garage sale permit, giving me my first opportunity to venture downtown this year. Permits are $6 each, and a major revenue stream for the city, right behind casino receipts and property taxes.

“You’re only allowed two permits per year, with no rain dates, no substitutions and no refunds,” said the mirthless clerk behind the counter.

“All garage signs must be down by Sunday or you’ll face a $150 fine.”

“You’re kidding, right?” I said.

She wasn’t.

Finally comes the day of the sale.

It’s 6 a.m. First we put out signs on Black, Midland and Glenwood. Then we manhandle racks of clothing and eight-foot tables of crap out into the driveway because my wife says “that’s

how to attract customers.” Then she leaves for work. Then it starts raining.

Over the next three days I managed to unload about 50 percent of the hoard. Most of my customers don’t speak English beyond “How much?”

My answer is always the same: “$1.”

Uno dinero. Un dólar.

By Saturday morning, I’m down to 25 cents.

By late Saturday afternoon, I’m down to “Take what you want, everything’s free.”

Even at that price, there’s enough stuff left to fill a small pickup.

All I can say is thank God for Goodwill Industries. You drive up and they unload your vehicle for you, and then give you a blank receipt which you can use to cheat on your taxes.

When it was all said and done, we made a few hundred bucks, most of which I think went to the kids.

What I got out of it was an empty garage. The interior of which my wife now tells me needs to be repainted.

You know, so it looks “nice.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR • Continued from page 31

– or CARE – to eliminate the use of disposable plastic shopping bags in Will and surrounding counties.

A major problem with the plastic bags is that only a small percent of them are recycled, although collection bins are available for plastic bag recycling at some major grocery stores. Therefore, our landfills are filled with plastic bags and other plastic items that are not recycled. Plastic bags take 1,000 years to photo-degrade (break into smaller and smaller pieces). Every year, 15 billion pounds of plastic are produced in the U.S., but only 1 billion are recycled. Also, because plastic bags use oil in their manufacturing, we are using 12 million barrels of oil to make plastic bags.

Anyone who has driven past farmers’ fields in our area, and frequented natural areas, or in their own community has seen fields littered and despoiled by plastic bags caught in bushes. Besides being unsightly, plastic bags kill wildlife when they fly into woods, streams, the Great Lakes and oceans. Small pieces of plastic are eaten by birds and fish and enter the food chain right into you.

Alternatives to plastic disposable shop-

ping bags include the use of cloth bags, which last years before they fall apart or for store owners to charge customers for paper bags, if they don’t bring their own shopping bags. If the paper bags are made from 100 percent recycled paper, then trees are not cut down to make the paper bags. For an incentive to customers who bring their own bags, stores could give customers a raffle ticket for a chance to win a store gift card.

CARE meets at White Oak Library in Lockport at 6 p.m. the third Monday of the month.

Lift up, don’t tear down

To the Editor: This relentless negative campaigning is sending a terrible message to our youth and future. I do not consider myself a very political person. I do have a strong service heart and believe in investing my time and money in our communities.

The degrading of candidates/people, media negativity and focus on what is wrong and bad drains America of hope.

I believe that is a big portion of why things are getting so out of control. It’s

the emphasis on the negative that has become the norm rather than highlighting anything positive.

When you read the most recent professional development and leadership books, they advise you to not watch the media for that reason. I fundamentally believe you rise by lifting and helping others, and that if we started doing that more things would get better. Yes, absolutely – all lives matter. Respect our service people, our police, fire and military, because they are the ones that keep us safe and free. We need to build each other up, not tear everyone down.

I am blessed to be in a unique profession; I have the opportunity to see our youth live the American Dream. I see foster kids, children with disabilities, and disadvantaged youth who have experienced challenging situations go on to

college or serve in our military. America is and has always been great. If you have a strong work ethic and goals you can still make it happen in America!

Our illustrious history is based on our inspiring freedom and acceptance/celebration of diversity – that is what makes us great. There is hope for us all, we all make mistakes, all people can change, and every day is a fresh start if you choose.

I know this may be an idealistic view.

I purposefully try to shield myself from media negativity and stay out of politics, but we need to support and respect each other, and be gracious. Focus on the issues, not the other person. You can agree to disagree without humiliating and shaming people.

36 FOOTBALL: 7 ON 7 PASSING JAMBOREE

Steelmen hope to ‘leave a legacy’ Wisneski optimistic about third season as quarterback

By TIM TIERNEY

Shaw Media correspondent BOLINGBROOK – For the past two seasons, Joliet Central football fans saw Zach Wisneski slowly start to become a varsity quarterback.

Now the versatile junior is ready to take the next step at his position as he prepares for another season.

“First of all, I’m not just guessing anymore,’’ Wisneski said. “I actually have progressions I have to do. I’m actually dropping back, reading coverages, doing checkdowns. I’m more mature than back when I was a freshman.

“Also, I’m bigger. I can move around and take hits more than I could before. It’s just overall way easier than it was. Each year.’’

Some of his upcoming opponents spent the past season or two on freshman or sophomore teams while Wisneski was going against the big boys on the varsity level. It was a price worth paying to Wisneski.

“It gives you way more experience from when you’re actually supposed to be on the varsity level,’’ he said.

“You’re actually more advanced.’’

The hot and humid conditions Saturday during the Bolingbrook 7 on 7 Passing Jamboree was another opportunity for Wisneski and his teammates to test their skill and their readiness to line up and play.

Each team at the 26-school event played six scrimmages, three in the morning and three in the afternoon.

“You’re looking for growth every day,’’ Joliet Central coach Brett Boyter said of the summer 7 on 7s.

“Before it might be just learning the routes. Now that we feel like we know the routes, now it’s better route precision. Better QB reads. More accurate throws. Better communication on defense. All those things. It’s just more of concentrate on doing what we’re doing.

“The advantage today is you’re seeing a lot of different defenses and offenses. We just want to see at this point, since we’re pretty much at the end of our summer practices, can we think and play quickly now? So when we get to the end of August, a lot of the thinking is out of the way and more just reacting to what we’re seeing.’’

The Steelmen coach likes what he sees from his playmakers.

“We feel very good about a lot of our skill guys,’’ Boyter said.

Larry W. Kane for Shaw Media

Joliet Central’s Samuel Goin keeps his eye on the ball for a catch Saturday against Zion-Benton at the Bolingbrook 7 on 7 football passing tournament at Bolingbrook High School Bolingbrook.

Senior Zach Schraer could quarterback the Steelmen, but he’ll likely be a valuable tight end, among other positions.

Wide receiver/defensive back Jomare McNair and wide receiver/ linebacker Camaron Harvey were both all-conference last year in the SouthWest Suburban Blue.

Defensive back Marcus Stone has three years of experience. Frank Fiegel could be a big contributor at wide receiver.

“Our skill positions, this is the best group of receivers I’ve had since I’ve been here,’’ Wisneski said.

“They’re smarter. We have a more advanced offense than we had before.

“Our defense, the same. Those players are just as good. Our line, they’re going to be fine. They’re going to protect me. I have trust in them.’’

Central will open its first season in the Southwest Prairie Conference with back-to-back home games against Plainfield East on Aug. 26 and Minooka on Sept. 2.

“We’ve got a lot of work still to do, but the guys are hungry and they still want to get better,’’ Boyter said.

“What’s nice about seeing other teams here is because of our numbers, we go up against our sophomores sometimes. We don’t get to see true varsity squads all the time. Now we get to see it and start seeing where we’re at ex-

actly.’’

The Steelmen hope to be on their way toward living up to the words on the back of their practice shirts: “Leave A Legacy.’’

“Football does require a lot of thinking in today’s game on both sides of the ball,’’ Boyter said. “The defense has to be just as smart to stay up with the offense. There’s a lot of communication, a lot of repetition.

“I don’t think we’re any different than most programs. There’s certain principles and things we attack when we see a defense or an offense. When they learn those principles and stay disciplined in it, it’s just using your athleticism. It’s playing the game.’’

NHL DRAFT

Minooka graduate heading to Philadelphia after 6th-round selection

By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com

ON THE GO

After being drafted by the Flyers, Laczynski spent a week at the team’s Rookie Development Camp in New Jersey.

“The Flyers’ camp was awesome,” he said. “(Jakub) Voracek was there one day, and Shayne Gostisbehere was, too. Guys who are in the AHL were there.

“It was fun to see and do all that I was able to. I took it all in like a sponge.

I feel like I held my own and did all that was asked of me, and I came out of it a better player. I can’t wait to go there again next year.”

He is home in Shorewood, but only

• Sunday, July 24, 2016

SHOREWOOD – Tanner Laczynski scores his share of goals, but there is nothing selfish about the way he plays hockey.

The Philadelphia Flyers have been watching. They made the 2015 Minooka graduate a sixth-round selection, the 169th overall pick, in the NHL draft June 24-25.

“I’m usually a center but can play wing if need be,” Laczynski said. “I like to think the best part of my game is as a power forward. I’m used to winning draws. I don’t lose many battles along the walls.

“I feel I can create space for my teammates. Definitely, setting up a teammate for a goal gives me my biggest thrill. A nice pass is as good as a goal. That’s my thought on things, anyway.”

Laczynski, 19, has been playing hockey since he was 3. To say he has progressed steadily would be an understatement.

The last two years, he played in the USHL, the top Junior A league in the nation. Two seasons ago, he played for the Chicago Steel and had 18 goals and 28 assists for 46 points in 57 games, earning a spot on the All-Rookie Team.

Last season, he was with the Steel for more than half the season, then was traded to the Lincoln (Nebraska) Stars.

He finished with 24 goals and 39 assists for 63 points in 52 games. He was fourth in the league in scoring and was selected to the All-USHL second team.

“The Junior A league is the top junior league,” Laczynski said. “I’ve scored points, but that all comes with hard work, doing the job, winning battles. I feel I have good vision to see the ice, too. I always have that in my toolbox.”

Flyers join Laczynski’s whirlwind hockey world

Minooka graduate and Shorewood native Tanner Laczynski was selected by the Philadelphia Flyers in the sixth round of the recent NHL draft and will play college hockey at Ohio State. briefly, as he will participate in the World Junior Evaluation Camp, run

by USA Hockey, July 29-Aug. 7 at the USA Hockey headquarters in Plymouth, Michigan. Twenty-four of the 42 players invited will be selected to Team USA for the World Junior Championships, which will be played in Toronto and Montreal in the winter.

“I’m looking forward to the competition (at the World Junior Evaluation Camp),” he said. “This is my first time to the World Junior Championships, but I have played in two international competitions with Team USA. The last one was the World Junior A Challenge.”

On top of all that activity, Laczynski is returning to school after taking a year off to concentrate on hockey. He will attend Ohio State University on a hockey scholarship beginning next month.

“I’m very excited to be going to Ohio State,” he said. “This year I’ll take general education courses. I’ll concentrate

on a major later. I was 15 or 16 when Ohio State recruited me, and I committed to them almost right after I visited.”

THE FLYERS

Meanwhile, from the NHL perspective, Laczynski will remain the property of the Flyers.

“I am basically in their system,” he said. “I can still play college hockey, whether it’s one, two, three or four years. From there I would go to their AHL team and once I am ready for the NHL, I could get called up. My rights with the Flyers wouldn’t cancel until three or four years after I leave college, and if they didn’t want me then, I would become a free agent.”

Laczynski said he has heard nothing but good things about the Flyers’ organization.

“Everyone says it’s one of the top organizations in the league,” he said.

“I definitely was ecstatic when I heard they picked me. I was expecting to get drafted by somebody, but I didn’t want

to be overconfident about it.”

Laczynski is in rare air, being an NHL draft pick from the Joliet area.

“I definitely feel good about being one of the only people drafted by the NHL from this area,” he said. “I cherish that.”

A key to Laczynski’s success on the ice has been staying healthy. He is 6-1, 195 pounds and said, “I’m actually trying to drop some weight. I’d like to play at 185 or 190. That will happen when I get to Ohio State and do the lifting and everything.”

Laczynski played some baseball when he was young, and his brother, Hayden, is a standout shortstop at Minooka. Tanner’s first love, though, always has been hockey and his ultimate dream always has been to play in the NHL. “But there is no need to rush it,” he said. “When I’m ready, I’m ready.”

If he continues along the path he has traveled so far, the time eventually could arrive when he indeed is ready.

38 CLUB VOLLEYBALL: AAU JUNIOR NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP

Club 1 Volleyball Club wins 1st national title

By KAITLYN JASNICA

kjasnica@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Each club has a defining moment.

This summer, Club 1 Volleyball Club had its moment. The 17-1 boys team won the club’s first national title in 17 Open at the AAU Junior National Championship and sported three All-Americans.

“It’s special that we get to know that we were the first team to play for Club 1 and win a national championship,” AAU MVP Quinn Isaacson said. “You never know if there’s going to be another team who can do it because that is such a big accomplishment. It’s cool that we know that we made history.”

Sometimes it takes a few decades for a program to establish itself and win a huge title. Club 1 was able to win its first in its seventh year.

And not only were the boys able to win AAUs, the 17-1 team added a very successful USA Junior Volleyball Nationals showing. Club 1 finished ahead of all Midwest clubs by taking first in bronze in 17 Open for a 13th-place finish.

Even though they were the top team in the area, that didn’t satisfy them.

For next season, their eyes are on a very huge prize.

“My team was very happy and proud of their success this season; it was the best finish we have ever had in the history of our program,” coach Cory Sackett said. “But the moment we took our picture with the bronze plaque, first thing my captain and team told me as that it would be the last time we hold bronze, as we are focused on winning two national championships next season. They have already been back in the gym on their own will to start prepping for next season.”

This Club 1 group is looking to become the first Illinois team to win 18 Open next year. And they are going into the season with the right attitude.

The entire team is determined to make their goal a reality and sound like they won’t let anything get in their way. The team has a few other things in their favor, as well.

One of the most advantageous things about this group of guys is that they have played together for years.

Plainfield North’s Isaacson was the first core piece that joined the club. It was easy for him because his mom, Brie Isaacson, is the club director and owner.

Each addition, however, took effort.

Since the club was still fairly new four years ago, coach Isaacson had to recruit some area players at a young age because she saw their potential.

One of the first was Plainfield South’s Brandon Langys.

Photo provided

Club 1 took first place in the AAU 17 Open Junior National Championships. Quinn Isaacson (3) was named tournament MVP, while Josh Simpson (33) and Logan Nash (31) also earned All-American honors. The team includes Mykkel Wilke (2), Isaacson (3), Nick Sullivan (4), Nash (31), Brandon Langys (32), Simpson (33), Andrew Calantone (34), Brett Kliegl (54), Andrew Otto (77) and Patrick Crippen (92).

“I was also a baseball player,” Langys said. “When it came to eighth grade, I decided I wanted to play volleyball and I ended up dropping baseball.

I joined Club 1 because I was recruited by coach Brie, and my friend called me and told me Club 1 needs more guys.

I was like, ‘Might as well try it.” That was one of the best decisions of my life right there, saying why not. Just go for it.”

Isaacson coached the team at the younger levels until Dan Drye took over at 15s. Sackett was handed the reins when they were 16 and he will stay with the team until they graduate.

Each coach kept bringing in new players and adding depth.

The third addition was Plainfield South’s Logan Nash (AAU All-American), and by 17s year, a total of nine area players joined the team. Plainfield South’s Andrew Colantone and Mykkel Wilke, Bolingbrook’s Josh Simpson (AAU All-American) and Andrew Otto, Plainfield East’s Nick Sullivan and Plainfield North’s Patrick Crippen and Neuqua Valley’s Brett Kliegl also play huge roles in the team’s success.

For seven months, they work together in club, then get to face off for some friendly competition.

“It’s so fun when we get to compete against each other in high school season,” Langys said. “We send each other the schedules and see when we’re going to play each other. When one teammate faces another, it’s a big competition, but it’s a fun one.”

Another advantage that this team has above others is that they don’t think of themselves as a team. They are a family.

They have always been a close-knit group, but last summer they bonded even more. One of their middles, Matt Skowronski, passed away from a heart attack.

“It was the worst part of all of our lives,” Isaacson said. “It also bonded us like nothing else could have. It created the Club 1 family. ... Having that happen destroyed us, but it brought us together as a team. It made us such better teammates.”

“Before every game I would give a quick prayer to Matt,” Langys said.

“Give us the confidence and make sure that we stay together as a team. I always played for him and I know all of

the guys did every game.

“I know that everything we did this year was for him.”

Everything that the boys did in Matt’s honor helped establish themselves as a strong team.

Years ago, coach Isaacson, Drye and Sackett had to recruit players to give playing volleyball a chance. Now players are texting Quinn Isaacson, asking if there’s an open spot on the team for next year.

The players are proud knowing that their hard work and success is leading to not only more recognition with college recruiters, it’s giving their club recognition as well.

“Both the boys and girls side of the club are playing well and showing that this isn’t going to just be a run-through of a club. It’s going to be a club that will continue to compete at the highest level,” Isaacson said.

Even though the boys club season ended on July 2, the entire team is already in the gym, and working toward the next goal. Next time they don’t want 13th. They want it all.

“This is not the team who is happy with a 13th place,” Isaacson said. “It’s a great accomplishment, but what I like about this team the most is we’re not done yet. Next year is the year. It’s our last year, so we’re going to push for No. 1 in the country. We’re going to push for those individual awards. Our goal going forward is this is our last year, give it our all. We’re shooting for the national championship.”

“Thirteenth place is really good, but our team is going to push their hardest, train hard and focus on giving it their all during off-season and in season,” Langys said. “We’re not going to take no for an answer. We’re going to keep grinding until we get to that first place. I know 100 percent our team can accomplish that and we have the skill to do so. I’m very excited for that. I’m ready for volleyball again.”

The foursome combined for a 121-34 record and helped coach Josh Oster’s Porters win their second-straight trophy and turn in the school’s best-ever dual team finish, third place.

Over the past week the group of four sophomores demonstrated quite clearly that they will once again be key performers during the upcoming season.

All four earned All-American honors at USA Wrestling’s Cadet Greco-Roman and Freestyle Nationals, which were held at Fargo, North Dakota.

Tucker and Ramos received All-American recognition in both styles while Molton earned honors in Greco-Roman and Fernandes did the

Team Illinois won championships in both Cadet divisions. It easily won Greco-Roman with 70 points while Michigan and Pennsylvania tied with 45 points. And Illinois captured its fourth-straight title in Freestyle after scoring 82 points while New Jersey had 64 points.

Oster obviously liked what he saw from his young performers in Fargo after they made program history but he was also pleased with all of the efforts of the eight Porters who competed in the national tournament.

“I’m proud of our eight guys for giving up a chunk of summer to train and compete with the best in the country,” Oster said. “Our four All-Americans battled throughout and beat some of the best. Between them they produced six All-American finishes. This is our most All-Americans in one season.”

Tucker turned in Lockport’s best showing of the week after settling for second place at 285 in Cadet Freestyle.

40 FREEDOM 11, SLAMMERS 4

Slammers suffer 5th-straight defeat SUBMITTED REPORTS

FLORENCE. Ky. – The Joliet Slammers have met the teams at both the top and at the bottom of the Frontier League’s West Division during the past week.

But whether it was first-place Southern Illinois or sixth-place Florence, the final result has been the same for the Slammers, and it’s not been positive.

Joliet dropped its third game this week to the Freedom and its fifth in a row after falling by an 11-4 score Saturday.

Florence (26-33) built up a 9-0 lead through five innings and Joliet (30-28) got no closer than six runs back after that as it dropped the middle game of the weekend series.

As has been the case in all five

defeats, the Slammers starter had a rough outing. This time it was Sean Townsley, who allowed seven runs, including five earned, as well as eight hits in just 3 1⁄ 3 innings. Four relievers allowed four runs and six hits over the final 42⁄3 frames.

Meanwhile, Cody Gray yielded three runs, with just one earned, on seven hits while striking out six in seven innings to collect the win Charlie White, Phil Bates and Marc Flores each went 2 for 4 to lead the Slammers’ offense. Jake Gronsky, Hunter Ridge and Bates each drove in a run for the visitors.

Florence was led by Austin Newell (3 for 4, three RBI) and Isaac Wenrich (3 for 5) while Daniel Fraga (home run) and Travis Weaver

also drove in two runs each.

The Slammers remained onehalf game ahead of Washington for the East Division lead after the Wild Things dropped a 6-5 decision at Southern Illinois.

In Friday’s series opener, Joliet couldn’t overcome a five-run third inning and wound up suffering a 7-6 loss.

Alfredo Rodriguez hit a threerun homer in the third to give his team a 4-2 lead, but Florence moved in front for good in the bottom of that inning. Gronsky also went 2 for 4 for Joliet.

Mason Salazar drove in three runs and Weaver hit a two-run homer to help make a winner of Jeremy Gooding, who went six innings. Slammers starter Spencer Medick took the loss after lasting for only 22⁄3 innings.

BREWERS 6, CUBS 1

Nieuwenhuis hits 2 home runs as Brewers beat Cubs

By RICH ROVITO

The Associated Press MILWAUKEE – Kirk Nieuwenhuis hit two home runs, Zach Davies took a shutout into the seventh inning and the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 6-1 on Saturday night.

Jonathan Lucroy also homered, giving Milwaukee the lead with a two-run shot in the first

off John Lackey (7-7). Nieuwenhuis led off the fourth with a homer to center field, extending Milwaukee’s lead to 3-0. Niewenhuis’ added a three-run homer to left in the eighth, marking his third career multi-homer game.

Davies (7-4) gave up one run and three hits in 61⁄3 innings.

He struck out four and walked two.

Lackey, who has surrendered

at least one home run in seven straight starts, gave up three runs and five hits in six innings.

Davies, who pitched seven scoreless innings in his last start, retired 10 consecutive batters before yielding a single to Ben Zobrist leading off the seventh. Zobrist scored on Addison Russell’s single off Will Smith, who relieved Davies with one out in the inning.

WHITE SOX

White Sox ace Chris Sale scratched for ‘clubhouse incident’

By MIKE CRANSTON The Associated Press

CHICAGO – Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale was scratched from his start against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night after he was involved in what the team said was a “non-physical clubhouse incident.”

Sale, who was to attempt to become the majors’ first 15-game

winner, was sent home from the park.

FanRag Sports first reported the incident involved Sale’s protest of the throwback jerseys the team was scheduled to wear. Fox Sports reported Sale cut up the throwback jerseys during batting practice.

“The incident, which was non-physical in nature, currently is under further investigation by

the club,” general manager Rick Hahn said in a statement. “The White Sox will have no additional comment until the investigation is completed.”

The White Sox marketing department described the night as the “Throwback Game.” It announced the team would wear collared, blue and white V-neck jerseys first worn during the 1976 season.

NASCAR: XFINITY SERIES BRIEF INDIANAPOLIS – Kyle Busch spent Saturday climbing in and out of brutally hot cars in Indianapolis.

All that work finally got him back to a pretty cool spot in victory lane – and some ice cold water.

After claiming two poles Saturday afternoon, Busch returned to the track and led all but one lap to win his second straight NASCAR Xfinity Series victory at the track by 0.415 seconds over hard-charging Kevin Harvick. Paul Menard was third, 1.338 seconds off the pace.

“I’d like to hope so,” the 2015 Cup season champion said after being asked whether

he can keep this up after earning his seventh Xfinity win this season and record-extending 83rd of his career. “I don’t know exactly how many (races) I have left, that’s changing every day. But, hopefully, with whatever we have left, we can have the same amount of success we’ve had here.”

Busch has been virtually unbeatable on Indy’s 2.5-mile oval all weekend.

He posted the fastest practice times in both the Xfinity and Sprint Cup Series on Friday, won the poles, captured the first of two heat races to establish the rest of the starting order and put himself in position for a second straight sweep of the two races in Indy.

A different sport altogether

Lemont resident Jeff Yackley sees international success in wheelchair softball

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

L

EMONT – Jeff Yackley initially balked at the idea of playing wheelchair sports.

Two years later, he is thrilled to be part of them.

The Lemont man, 50 and a member of the Lincolnway Special Recreation Association, was selected by the National Wheelchair Softball Association to represent Team USA on July 2 and 3 at the 2016 Japanese National Championship Tournament in Sapporo, Japan.

This is the first time the United States fielded a national softball team and competed as an international guest, said Keith Wallace, executive director of the Lincolnway Special Recreation Association, chairman of the International Wheelchair Softball Association and softball coach for the USA Wheelchair Softball Association.

“This was a dream I’d been working on for 10 years,” Wallace said.

Yackley, director of golf for The Links at Carillon in Plainfield, said he was excited to be chosen for Team USA. “It’s a once-in-a-lifetime event for me,” he said.

Yackley was chosen as one of two pitchers on the 16-member team.

Other team members came from Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, Ohio and Tennessee, Wallace said.

In Japan, Team USA won the world cup, Yackley said. In addition, Yackley was named one of the top 10 wheelchair players in the world. Last year – Yackley’s first year playing wheelchair softball – he was named Rookie of the Year during the world series of wheelchair softball in Mississippi.

However, Yackley might never have played if he and Wallace hadn’t attended the same mission trip in Africa four years ago and roomed together. Wallace noticed Yackley’s leg brace and suggested wheelchair sports.

But it took Yackley about a year to warm up to the idea.

“The last thing I wanted to do was drive up to the basketball court, jump out of my car, run into the gym, and sit in the chair and play,” Yackley said.

With a history of playing competitively in a variety of sports, Yackley wondered how other players might

Jeff Yackley of Lemont recently returned from the 2016 Japanese National Championship Tournament in Sapporo, Japan, where he served as one of two pitchers for Team USA. The team was undefeated.

For more information about the National Wheelchair Softball Association, visit www. wheelchairsoftball.org. react when they realized he didn’t continually require a wheelchair.

A week before Yackley’s’s 21st birthday, he and Julianne Yackley, who is now his wife, were riding his motorcycle down Route 45 in Frankfort when another driver hit him head on, Yackley said.

He suffered several breaks, but the primary injury was some permanent nerve damage in his left leg, resulting in foot drop. Yackley can use his leg if it’s in a brace and he continued to play sports well into his 40s, until family

responsibilities for him and the other players curtailed opportunities for competitive play.

But he did miss it – the play and the players he met. When he decided to give wheelchair basketball a try in 2014, before taking up wheelchair softball a year later, Yackley realized it was a different sport altogether.

“It’s played differently than able-bodied basketball: how to use the chair, how to position yourself. The fact that someone else is faster and more mobile in the chair makes it tougher for someone new to stop them or get around them,” Yackley said. “It took me a season to learn the basics of the game. I was a little disappointed. I was used to being reasonably good at most things.”

Yackley said he spent that first year working on his skills, during practice and his own time.

“I’d go out a couple days a week just to be in the chair and push it

around,” Yackley said. “I’d go to the basketball court during the off-season to work on dribbling and developing different maneuvers and movements with the chair to feel comfortable.”

The disabilities Yackley sees are as varied as the players. Some have comparatively simple injuries while others are quadriplegics or may be missing limbs, Yackley said. Some use a wheelchair full time; others take a break, walk around and sit back in the chair, he said.

Being able-bodied has no advantage due to the way the sports are played, Yackley said, except perhaps for those athletes with some core and upper body strength, such as Yackley has.

Yackley would like to see the Olympics include adaptive sports in its events.

But first things first.

“Our goal is to start more teams and get more countries involved,” Yackley said.

Joliet Job Corps students donate dozens of books The HERALD–NEWS JOLIET – A group of students at the Joliet Job Corps Center recently collected dozens of gently used textbooks from their classrooms and donated them to a book depository.

SCARCE, or School and Community Assistance for Recycling and Composting Education, is a nonprofit at 799 Roosevelt Road in Glen Ellyn that accepts unneeded educational supplies and then distributes them to schools at no cost.

Executive Director Kay McKeen started SCARCE in 1990 after she began teaching DuPage County students about recycling and environmental issues.

Earlier this year, Erik Kasper, an academic instructor at the Joliet Job Corps Center, noticed that there were some unused biology, earth science and literature textbooks in his classroom. In the past, Kasper has worked for school districts that couldn’t afford

new books.

Kasper asked the leadership of the Green Team, the group that handles recycling at the Joliet Job Corps Center, to collect the books. Job Corps student and Green Team member Courtney Lien went from classroom to classroom to pick them up, and later boxed the books with the help of Keith Roberts, another student who also is a member of the team.

On May 23, Business Community Liaison Stewart Warren, Courtney and Keith traveled to Glen Ellyn to drop off the books. McKeen thanked them for the donation, noting that during the past 26 years, SCARCE has distributed more than 5 million books to people in 58 countries.

The Job Corps program was created to provide vocational training for disadvantaged young people aged 16 to 24. At the Joliet Job Corps Center, 1101 Mills Road, Joliet, young adults can earn their high school diploma or GED while also learning one of eight trades.

Joliet Central, West students unite during Crosstown Classic

JOLIET – The power of creativity was in full force when Joliet Central and Joliet West AP Human Geography teachers planned the first ever Crosstown Classic, adding a unique twist to studying while bringing students from Central and West together.

Central teacher Erica Senffner and West teacher Courtney Barrowman collaborated to improve instruction for freshman students taking the rigorous college-level course.

Students from West were bused across town to the Central campus for a morning filled with fun, competitive review complete with game show competitions and a cranium game using Legos and Play-Doh.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff and by looking for optic nerve damage.

LASIK surgery leads to lower intraocular pressure readings. This may interfere with early diagnosis. So be sure to tell your ophthalmologist if you’ve had LASIK when you are being screened for glaucoma. If your glaucoma is mild and easily managed, you may be a candidate for LASIK. But you should not have LASIK if you have moderate or severe glaucoma.

• Dry eye syndrome. With age, your eyes produce fewer tears. LASIK often worsens dry eye. Any ophthalmologist you see about LASIK should ask you if your eyes have a tendency to be dry, but just in case he or she doesn’t ask, be sure to mention it.

• Presbyopia. In our 40s and 50s, we become less able to focus clearly on near objects. That’s because the lenses inside our eyes get stiff, and a stiff lens can’t bend light in the way that’s necessary to see near objects. The usual remedy is to wear reading glasses. LASIK doesn’t prevent presbyopia, or eliminate the need for reading glasses.

The price for LASIK varies by doctor and by community. The average price may be around $2,000 to $2,500. Health insurance generally does not cover the cost.

LASIK isn’t for everyone. But it could be a great choice for you, regardless of your age, depending on any other eye conditions you might have.

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

HOW TO PLAY Each row, column and set of 3-by-3 boxes must contain the numbers 1 through 9 without repetition.

Dear Dr. K: I would like to have LASIK surgery to treat my nearsightedness. I’m 54 – is that too old to have this surgery?

Dear Reader: LASIK (laser-assisted in-situ keratomileusis) can correct common eye problems: nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. It can eliminate your need for glasses or contact lenses.

LASIK corrects vision by reshaping the cornea, the clear dome at the front of the eye. The procedure is painless, and complications are few when the doctor is experienced.

Your age is not a problem for LASIK. Even in your 50s or beyond, if your eyes are otherwise healthy, LASIK surgery can produce excellent results. Surgical outcomes are similar regardless of age.

The main thing to consider is not your age but whether you have any other eye conditions that could make LASIK less successful. These eye conditions become more common with aging, so the eye doctor should carefully evaluate whether you have them: • Cataracts. With age, the lens of the eye can become clouded. If this happens, the clouded lens can be removed and an artificial one implanted. If you’ve already had LASIK surgery, it’s trickier to choose the correct lenses for cataract surgery. If there’s any sign of clouding, your ophthalmologist may recommend cataract surgery first, and to reconsider LASIK surgery only after the cataract surgery has healed.

• Glaucoma is caused by increased fluid pressure within the eye. The pressure affects the optic nerve, which starts in the back of your eye, leads to the brain and allows you to see. If glaucoma is untreated, it can lead to blindness. Ophthalmologists screen for glaucoma by checking intraocular pressure (fluid pressure inside the eye)

Postal workers meet challenge of delivering kids’ postcards Dear Abby: While our daughter was on vacation with our small grandkids, she bought them postcards and suggested they write us about their vacation.

She said she laughed when the kids finished with the cards because she hadn’t realized they didn’t know how to write a postcard. The children had turned the cards sideways and had written across the entire card from top to bottom. Not wanting to hurt their feelings, she found a halfinch space on one side and in tiny print wrote our names and address.

I would like to thank the postal workers in both Springfield and Wales, Massachusetts, and in Hartford, Connecticut, for caring, for taking the time to search for our address and forwarding these wonderful memories to us. – Thankful Grandma J.

BE A GOOD

DEAR ABBY Jeanne Phillips Dear Thankful: I’m pleased to pass along your message to the caring postal workers who ensured you receive the postcards. They obviously take pride in their work.

When I started writing this reply, I thought I’d begin by quoting the postal workers’ official motto: “Neither rain nor hail nor sleet nor snow,” etc. Then, unsure of the correct wording, I decided to look it up online. What I found fascinated me, and I hope it will you, too. Here’s the gist: Contrary to popular belief, the U.S. Postal Service has no motto.

The familiar sentence “Neither

NEIGHBOR

snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” is actually just the inscription found on the General Post Office in New York City at Eighth Avenue and 33rd Street.

The inscription was provided by the architects who designed the building. The sentence appears in a translation of the account of the fifth-century B.C. Greek historian Herodotus and describes the expedition of the Greeks against the Persians. The Persians had a system of mounted postal couriers, and he was describing the fidelity with which their work was done.

Dear Abby: Several months ago, I spoke to a doctor friend about some medical issues my wife was experiencing. He specializes in this particular area. When he advised my wife to

Volunteer.

come into the office, I told him it was not a good time for us financially. He said not to worry about it.

We made the appointment, and about two months later the bill arrived. We are on a high-deductible health plan, and the bill is not cheap. How can I discuss this with my friend without offending? I don’t want to sound presumptuous – I know this is his livelihood – but we would have stuck it out until we were better off financially. – Finan-

cial Difficulty Dear “Difficulty”: Call your friend

the doctor and explain the situation.

If you do, he may reduce the amount of his bill or, alternatively, agree to a payment plan that you can manage.

• Write Dear Abby at www. dearabby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

T'S TREES

Robert Benchley, a humorous newspaper columnist and actor who died in 1945, said, “I can’t bring myself to say, ‘Well, I guess I’ll be toddling along.’ ... It isn’t that I can’t toddle. It’s that I can’t guess I’ll toddle.”

As we toddle through a bridge deal, we sometimes have to guess what to do. In today’s deal, how should the play proceed in four spades after West guesses very well to lead the diamond king?

South rebid only two spades because he knew he would get another turn (partner’s two-over-one response guaranteed a second bid) and he had a minimum in high-card terms. Then, when North showed game-invitational values with at least six hearts, South took a shot at four spades.

Leading king from king-doubleton was dangerous, but it worked beautifully here. East encouraged, won the next diamond trick, and played a third diamond. South, perforce, ruffed high with the spade king. Then declarer had to eliminate his club loser and avoid walking into a trump promotion. He cashed his heart ace, played a club to dummy’s ace, and discarded a club on the heart king. Then he led a low trump, which East did very well to duck smoothly. After South took that trick with his spade queen, what did he do next?

Declarer had to guess. With this layout, he had to continue with a low spade, bringing down East’s ace.

Then South could have ruffed high the next diamond, drawn the missing trump, and claimed. But if a defender had the singleton nine left, a highspade lead was required. At the time, South got it right -- well played everyone.
