PLAINFIELD

D-202 board receives preliminary fiscal 2017 budget presentation By FELIX SARVER

fsarver@shawmedia.com PLAINFIELD – Plainfield District 202 board members saw at Monday’s meeting the preliminary fiscal 2017 budget, which shows caution toward state funding. On the operating side of the preliminary budget – which includes the education, operations and maintenance, transportation and other funds – revenues and expenses are expected to be $254.6 million and $252.3 million, respectively, with a surplus of $2.2 million. Factoring in the debt service and capital project funds, the budget shows $288.4 million in revenues and $290.5 million in expenses, with a deficit of $2.1 million. Although state lawmakers approved a stopgap budget earlier in July that promises to fund Illinois schools at 100 percent of the foundation level, the preliminary budget for District 202 assumes general state aid will be prorated at 85 percent.

30 days at its Aug. 22 meeting and then hold a public hearing on the budget at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 26, according to district news release. The board will then vote on the budget the same night.

Curriculum changes

The board approved Monday a new science curriculum – for grades sixth through eighth – developed to align District 202 with Next Generation Science Standard. Standards are mandated by the state but the district has autonomy to create a curriculum that addresses the standards, according to the district. The curriculum will be implemented for the 2016-17 school year. “Students will benefit from a hands-on approach to the learning and doing of science. The science classroom will reflect a setting where students are investigating science and using an inquiry-based model of learning,” the proposal for the curriculum stated.

Bookkeeper accused of taking more than $100,000 from Sisters of St. Francis By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – A head bookkeeper for the Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate faces theft charges accusing her of taking more than $100,000 from the congregation. The charges against Lynn M. Conrad, 56, of Orland Hills, accuse her of theft from the Joliet-based congregation from as long ago as July 2008 to DecemLynn M. ber 2014. Conrad was arrested Conrad Monday by Joliet police and booked into the county jail with a bond of $250,000.

“We’re hearing that we’re getting 100 percent. I’m not quite buying 100 percent [until] I actually see it,” said Rick Engstrom, the district’s assistant superintendent for business and operations, during Monday’s presentation on the budget. “Right now, if you’re reading the paper, the state still owes $7 billion worth of bills. By the end of the year they’re projecting it at $10 billion. So at some point, something’s going to have to stop,” he said. Engstrom said general state aid is calculated based on the district’s ability to raise local money and is also based on student attendance. General state aid is decreasing because overall assessed property values are increasing but enrollment is declining, which causes state aid to decline, he said. “It’s great the economy is starting to turn around a little bit, but it’s actually hurting Plainfield school district,” he said. The board is expected to place the tentative fiscal 2017 budget on public display for

The theft reportedly involved cash donations made to the Sisters of St. Francis. The congregation has been instrumental in the development of Catholic education in Joliet, having started St. Francis Academy, one of the schools that merged into Joliet Catholic Academy, and the University of St. Francis. The amount of money alleged to have been taken is not specified in the charges. The most serious charge against Conrad is for felony theft involving an amount between $100,000 and $500,000. That range is laid out in the statute defining the felony charge, said Charles Pelkie, spokesman for the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office. The charge indicates the State’s Attorney’s Office believes at least $100,000 was taken.

A total of nine counts of theft, including seven felony charges, were filed against Conrad in a complaint filed last week. The Sisters of St. Francis did not immediately return calls for comment Monday. Conrad’s LinkedIn page listed her as head bookkeeper for the congregation from 2004 to the present. It also listed her as having been a student at the University of St. Francis. The Sisters of St. Francis of Mary Immaculate was founded in Joliet in 1865, and the congregation celebrated its 150th anniversary last year. The congregation’s local influence is widespread, having also started the Guardian Angel Home, Our Lady of Angels Retirement Home and the Groundwork Domestic Violence Program.

COMMISSION MARKS 25 YEARS Joliet Historic Preservation Commission to deal with Dougall home Wednesday By BOB OKON

bokon@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The Joliet Historic Preservation Commission is marking its 25th anniversary helping preserve the history of a city that’s been around since 1831. It can be a delicate task at times, as the commission deals with such issues as one it faces now – whether to try to preserve the onetime home of Dr. William Dougall, one of the city’s historic figures, despite the decrepit condition of the building. The commission has been involved in granting local landmark status to some of Joliet’s cherished 19th-cen-

tury structures, including the Jacob Henry Mansion and the Patrick C. Haley Mansion. It also has helped bring attention to obscure buildings with a place in history, such as the first Dairy Queen that was opened in 1940 at an otherwise unremarkable storefront at 501 N. Chicago St. “We’ve established over 100 landmarks, several local districts – raising the awareness of historical neighborhoods and traditional neighborhoods in Joliet,” said Sharon Merwin, who has been on the commission since it was formed in 1991. “Equally in the last 25 years there’s been a tremendous amount of new growth in Joliet.

think the fact that we came at the same time was good.” The commission also recognizes

preservation efforts with an annual award. The most recent Annual Preservation Award recognized new construction, when it was given last month to the Joliet Township High School District and Wight & Company architects for preserving the “historic environment” of the Joliet Central campus and the iconic limestone high school building while constructing a new student center that opened in January. High school board President Jeff Pierson quipped at the award presentation, “We were able to keep it a secret as to where all of our limestone is

CHANNAHON

Memorial for vets lost to PTSD coming this fall Know more

By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com CHANNAHON – Channahon State Park will be home to a one-of-a-kind memorial for military veterans who have lost their battles with post-traumatic stress disorder. The Forgotten Warrior Memorial Wall will be a tribute to all veterans who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces and have been afflicted with PTSD and sacrificed their lives beyond the limits of active duty. The memorial, expected to open in November, was funded through private donations to Chicago-based nonprofit K9s For Veteran Warriors. Organization CEO Michael Tellerino said it’s proper to have memorials for veterans who lost their lives in battle; however, there are presently no memorials for the countless veterans who have taken their own lives while fighting another war at home – PTSD. “How can we honor them for paying the ultimate price?” Tellerino said. “They come home with wounds you can’t see. People don’t understand how serious this is.” One statistic Tellerino cited suggests about 22 veterans commit suicide each day, but that’s just based on veterans who have registered for benefits. He said the real number is between 28 and 32 per day. “That’s not acceptable,” he said. “We wanted to acknowledge that sons, daughters, brothers and sisters have not died in vain. We hope this will give some healing to their families and raise

Channahon State Park in Channahon has been chosen as the site of The Forgotten Warrior Memorial Wall, which will honor veterans who have lost their battle to post-traumatic stress disorder. This graphic shows the design, which is the first of its kind in America.

“How can we honor them for paying the ultimate price? They come home with wounds you can’t see. People don’t understand how serious this is.” Michael Tellerino

K9s For Veteran Warriors CEO public awareness.” The memorial, which will cost more than $80,000, will be constructed in an existing circular turnaround area of the park and be composed largely of granite. Tellerino initially wanted to etch the names of each veteran lost to PTSD into

the memorial, but said it would be an exhaustive process to get every name from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Instead, families will be able to have individual bricks etched with their loved ones’ names on a volunteer basis.

He said that since announcing the memorial last week, he received a call from a woman in tears. “She was so excited about doing this,” he said. “It’s so long overdue for these guys.” The organization chose Channahon because it has easy access from the Chicago metropolitan area and the specific spot in the park is perfect for what the architects of the project have designed. The nonprofit also wanted the memorial to be relatively close to Marseilles, which is home to the Middle East Conflicts Wall Memorial along the Illinois River. Illinois State Parks and Recreation and state legislators have already signed off on the project, he said. “This one-of-a-kind memorial will provide a place for family members, other veterans, and the public to honor those service men and women whose injuries, while perhaps not physically apparent, were no less devastating,” Channahon Mayor Missey Moorman Schumacher said in a news release. K9s For Veteran Warriors provides service dogs to veterans with PTSD, along with medical care and food for the life of the dog. Tellerino said that while it is not a cure-all, the initiative plays a major role in improving the spirits of veterans.

MorningStar Mission holding first 5K Saturday By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com JOLIET – MorningStar Mission of Joliet is gearing up for its inaugural 5K walk and run, set for 7:30 a.m. Saturday. The organization’s leaders identified the popular fundraising model as one that could work well for the nonprofit. Though it has held walks in the past, the race is new territory. “The 5Ks seem to be very popular,” MorningStar Mission Director of Development Eloise Crabb said. “We’re hoping to draw a wider age group, so we decided to give this a shot.” About 150 people already signed up for the race, Crabb said, but advance registration will be open through Fri-

day for $35. Don’t fret if you’re not able to register early: Day-of registration will cost $35, too, and it starts 6 a.m. Saturday. The registration fee includes a T-shirt, socks and a drawstring bag. The money goes toward advancing MorningStar’s efforts. According to its website, MorningStar Mission relieves the spiritual and physical hunger of the poor by providing food, clothing, shelter and the gospel of Jesus to those in need. Since 1909, MorningStar Mission has served men, women, children and entire families in Joliet and Will County through one-time meals and long-term recovery programs. The race will begin and end at the

Despite resident opposition, Lockport RV policy will not change By ANNA SCHIER

aschier@shawmedia.com LOCKPORT – Residents expressed frustration with Lockport officials last week after the city began enforcing its recreational vehicle regulations, but ultimately it appears unlikely the municipality’s stance on RVs will change. Several RV owners spoke out at a Lockport City Council Committee of the Whole meeting Wednesday against the recent move to regulate the vehicles. The situation began a few weeks ago when one man used city code to have a vehicle in violation removed, Mayor Steven Streit told the meeting’s audience. The vehicle’s owner said that if he was being penalized, other RV owners should be, too. The involved code officer agreed and began issuing additional violations. On the committee agenda was a report from City Administrator Ben Benson on a letter to be sent to property owners that, in part, addressed the RV policy and requested compliance by Sept. 1. Lockport ordinance dictates that RVs kept on residential property must

be stored in an inner side yard or backyard. They also must not exceed a height of 9 feet, a width of 34 feet or a weight of 10,000 pounds – dimensions within which, it appeared during discussions Wednesday, many RVs do not fall. RVs have been regulated in Lockport since 1990 and city ordinance on the topic was last amended in 2008. “This isn’t a new law,” Streit said in a video of the meeting posted on the city website. However, that didn’t keep those in attendance from sharing their disagreement with it. One resident, Susan Stech, said she would rather move out of Lockport than move her RV. “I’m very emotional about this,” she said in the video. “I’ve lost sleep over it.” Another RV owner, Robert Jostes, said that RVs are made larger than they used to be and the ordinance should be adjusted with that in mind. He also said he was willing to serve on a resident committee to change the policy. While Stech, Jostes and several other audience members decried the city’s rules for RVs, some council members

said they had heard from residents who supported them. A few council members did show interest in the committee that Jostes suggested. But others appeared less open to adjusting the regulations. “Your neighbor may not be saying anything, but they’re probably thinking, ‘What an eyesore,’” council member Joanne Bartelsen said in the video, noting that she is a real estate agent and in her line of work visible RVs are not considered desirable in residential areas. After the discussion, Streit directed Benson to change the compliance deadline to Nov. 1 on the letter, which will be sent with Lockport’s water bills in August. Streit also invited Jostes to speak with city staff. Benson said in a phone interview Monday that the ordinance was affirmed in discussions after the meeting and likely will not change, although he added that the city does not intend to enforce dimension violations if they are within a few inches of the policy. He also said the city has contacted Jostes to discuss the matter, but that he has not responded.

JOLIET – An appellate court has reversed a murder conviction for a Joliet man. Jesus Zambrano, 26, of Joliet, was found guilty after a jury trial in August 2013 of one count of first-degree murder for killing Robert Gooch on May 22, 2009. Zambrano was sentenced to 45 years in prison. Pedro Sanchez, of Joliet, also was tried and convicted for his role in the murder and is serv- Jesus ing a 61-year sentence. Zambrano Zambrano appealed his sentence, challenging his attorneys’ failure to impeach Christian Lopez, a witness at the trial, with evidence that he received immunity to testify, as well as their failure to tender a jury instruction for accomplice testimony, according to the appellate court opinion. Zambrano was represented by Chuck Bretz & Associates. Lopez was called to testify for the state and said he was in the car with Zambrano, Sanchez and others who went to apartment where Gooch was. “Zambrano asserts that defense counsel’s failures to present evidence that Lopez was granted use immunity to testify and to tender the jury instruction on accomplice testimony constitute

objectively unreasonable performance and that the unreasonable performance prejudiced him and denied him a fair trial, violating his constitutional rights,” the opinion states. The appellate court noted Zambrano’s attorneys attacked Lopez’s credibility but did not question him regarding use immunity – or testimony that will not be used against the witness – and the court was unable to determine whether that was the result of trial strategy or ineffective assistance of counsel. But the court agreed with Zambrano’s contention that his attorneys were ineffective for failing to submit a jury instruction on accomplice testimony. The court stated Lopez being granted use immunity further supports his role as accomplice and there would be no need to immunize him if he were not implicated in the shooting and involved in some way as an accomplice. “We can ascertain no viable strategy for counsel’s failure to submit the instruction. We thus consider that counsel’s failure to tender the accomplice-witness instruction amounted to a deficient performance,” the court opinion states. The court further stated that counsel’s failure to submit an instruction on accomplice testimony prejudiced Zambrano by depriving the jury of critical information needed to evaluate Lopez’s testimony.

8 SHOREWOOD

Intersection of Routes 59, 52 being repaved this week By MIKE MALLORY

mmallory@shawmedia.com SHOREWOOD – One of Shorewood’s busiest intersections is likely to see extensive delays this week. The Illinois Department of Transportation is repaving this week the roadway at and approaching the intersection of Route 52 and Route 59 in Shorewood. Signs are posted to warn of traffic delays and to advise motorists to take an alternate route. The Shorewood Police Department said in a news release that it expects the roadwork to take most of the week and are hopeful it will not stretch past Friday. Black Road to the north of Route 52 figures to serve as a primary

east-west detour route to get across Interstate 55 and the DuPage River, while South River Road to the west of Route 59 can transport north-south motorists. Channahon Street just before the intersection when traveling north on Route 59 connects to Route 52 at NW Frontage Road, near I-55. Shorewood Police Chief Aaron Klima said signs are posted in the area and that Black Road seems to be the only unimpeded roadway in the area right now. While Caton Farm Road seems to be getting better, he said, Route 30 still is seeing congestion with its lengthy construction process. The department is advising motorists to find other routes around the Route 59 and Route 52 intersection.

• COMMISSION

hidden in the city.” But preservation can be a troublesome task, as has been the case with the Dougall home. The commission at its meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday is set to again consider city staff’s request for approval to tear down the house at 209 Union St., which has become a neighborhood eyesore. Dougall, in addition to being a doctor who treated workers for the Illinois & Michigan Canal Division, was a Civil War captain who commanded a black regiment fighting for the Union. An exhibit is dedicated to Dougall at the Will County Historical Museum in Lockport.

Commissioners wanted

Shaw Media file photo

The Dougall home, which was built by William Dougall in 1872, sits in disrepair June 30 at 209 Union St. in Joliet. The four-room Victorian home could be demolished by the city if a buyer isn’t found. by the commission. Burden, a retired librarian, was invited to join after he went through the rigorous review required to repaint his house, since it is in the historic district. “Living in the area, I do have a natural interest in this,” Burden said. “The old saw is you don’t know where you’re going if you don’t know where you’ve been. I have a natural interest in this.”

The future of preservation

Another challenge facing the cause of historic preservation, Merwin said, is that fewer people have the skills and desire to put in the work that older houses need. “People want a lot more streamlined lifestyles. They’re interested in no-maintenance,” Merwin said. “Thirty to 35 years ago, people would re-roof their homes. People would rebuild their porches. People would repaint their

houses.” Barb Newberg, a city planner who serves as the staff liaison to the commission and was its original secretary 25 years ago, said she believes Joliet is fortunate in that older neighborhoods have not been bulldozed as has happened in other cities. “We have so many neighborhoods that are pretty much the way they were when they were built. I’m very proud of that,” Newberg said. “That’s really a good thing to say that Joliet has been able to keep its neighborhoods intact. I think a lot of people are appreciating what’s there.”

Commissioners grappling with the Dougall matter last month noted the need to keep better tabs on historic buildings in Joliet. One challenge facing the commission these days is a shortage of members. The commission at full strength has 12 members. But it’s down to six commissioners, although two recommended appointments are awaiting approval by the mayor and City Council. They are Greg Peerbolte, executive director of the Joliet Area Historical Museum, and Paul Burden, who lives in the Upper Bluff Historic District created

Employment opportunities Illinois Valley Industries helps team up employers with employees with disabilities By HEIDI LITCHFIELD

hlitchfield@shawmedia.com MORRIS – Kelly Kruger of Morris just found out she will be getting more hours at her job, a goal she has worked hard toward. Kruger, a client at Illinois Valley Industries, works at Wendy’s in Morris as part of the Illinois Valley Industries Employment Options program, which launched earlier this year. “I like wiping down the tables and sweeping the floors,” Kruger said. “I’m excited about going to work every day.” The program is designed to put adults with disabilities to work in their communities. Community employment specialist Jamie Rios said that her part in the program is to be the middleman between the employer and the employee. She meets with area businesses to see firsthand what job requirements there are for a position to see whether she has a client who could fit the open position. “I look for a good fit for the employ-

er,” she said. “I never share the disability. Instead, I look at what the job entails to see if I have a client who has those abilities.” The goal of the program is to instill a sense of accomplishment and selfworth for the client, as well as provide a source of income. Rios said for some parents of adults with disabilities, the job gives them a sense of relief that their child can be self-sufficient and not depend on them as they age. Barb Armstrong, manager at Wendy’s in Morris, said having Kruger come to work every day has been great for her team. “She helps us a lot. We give her duties and she does them,” Armstrong said. “She’s a dependable person and she’s willing to do what we ask her to do.” Armstrong said she knows during the busy lunch rush that the dining area is taken care of with Kruger wiping down tables and chairs, and sweeping the floor. “If you don’t give someone a chance,

Kelly Kruger has worked at Wendy’s in Morris for just over three months with assistance from Employment Options at Illinois Valley Industries. you don’t know what they can do,” Armstrong said. “She comes in and says ‘Hi’ to everyone and gets to work.” Illinois Valley Industries has been serving the adult population with developmental disabilities in the Morris area since 1970. One of the primary avenues IVI uses is to help the population lead fulfilling lives by assisting them with employment opportunities within the

community. IVI has a number of individuals employed at Grundy County businesses including Big R, Culver’s, Granby’s Greenhouse, Jewel-Osco, Taco Bell, Weitz Café and Wendy’s. The new program, Employment Options of Illinois Valley, aims to broaden the scope of people IVI serves.

According to a news release, Employment Options will assist people with any diagnosed disability attain employment at Grundy County businesses. “IVI has always provided job placement opportunities for people with developmental disabilities, but we’re looking beyond that description and we are finding that there are people with other diagnosed/documented disabilities that are also needing some assistance finding work inside the community of their choice,” Kandis Cassetto, executive director of IVI, said in the release. “We think we can help them find jobs and lead more fulfilling lives,” Cassetto said. “We have a local understanding of and connection to employers who are interested in hiring people who want to overcome the daily challenges they face and contribute to society in a meaningful way.”

The program has employers willing to hire individuals, but Rios needs more candidates to fill the job opportunities out there. She hopes the new program will bring in new clients who need a little extra help landing a job. Cassetto said it’s more than just getting the job. It’s keeping the job, and Employment Options will provide job coaching services for the first three months of placement to ensure longterm success. Employment Options new office is located at 519 W. Illinois Ave., inside the Community Foundation of Grundy County’s office spaces designed specifically to assist nonprofits that need office space. Rios will conduct office hours there from 8 a.m. to noon every Wednesday and Thursday. Anyone with a diagnosed disability who would like help finding a job can reach Rios at 779-2055311 or ivisatellite@gmail.com to make an appointment or may stop by to see her any Wednesday or Thursday morning.

Body found after fiery Chicago highway crash The ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO – A body has been found at the scene of a fiery crash on a Chicago-area expressway. Illinois State Police said in a news release that the body was found by emergency workers at the scene of the crash involving two semitrailers and three passenger vehicles Monday morning on Interstate 55. Authorities said one of the semi-

trucks was hauling 17,800 pounds of paint and another hauling 40,000 pounds of frozen meat. The crash sparked a fire that sent plumes of thick black smoke high into the air and prompted the closure of the expressway in both directions before one northbound lane was reopened hours later. At least one person was taken to a hospital in good condition. The state police had no information on the body that was found.

Does your annuity have you confused? SPONSORED BY

Annuities are contracts with insurance companies that individuals use as investing tools. With so many different types of annuities with varying features, it can become confusing to know what you really have in your annuity. That is why it’s important to review your annuity products annually to be sure you have what you really need. Can you answer these questions about your annuity? • Is it fixed, variable or indexed? • If it’s indexed, what index does it track? • Does it have a death benefit or living benefits? • Does it have any riders?

Medical Weight Loss that Works!

• What are all the fees? - Riders? Mortality & Expense? Administration? Investment? Surrender charges?

This may seem overwhelming to think about on your own, but don’t worry; Max Bromley at PeopleFirst-Investment Services can help. As your life changes, so do your needs. If you purchased your annuity years ago, you may benefit from a review to ensure your investments still line up with your financial goals. Call Max today at (815) 207-6217 for a complimentary, no-obligation review. He can help you understand what you have and evaluate whether it is still the right investment to help you reach your goals.

Marni Nixon, voice of classic movie songs, has died at 86 By MARK KENNEDY The Associated Press

NEW YORK – Hollywood voice double Marni Nixon, whose singing was heard in place of the leading actresses in such classic movie musicals as “West Side Story,” “The King and I” and “My Fair Lady,” has died. She was 86. Michael Kirsten, senior vice president of Nixon’s talent agency, Harden-Curtis Associates, said she died Sunday of cancer in New York. “She passed away peacefully with her family at her side,” he said. Nixon, who was initially uncredited for her work, early on resented the dubbing work but later came to terms with it. “I realized now that this was something that would outlive me. Something that would last,” she wrote in her 2006 memoir, “I Could Have Sung All

Night.” In the heyday of the Hollywood musical, studios often paid big money for film rights to hit Broadway shows, then cast them with popular non-singing actors and actresses. Such was the case with the 1956 hit “The King and I,” in which filmmakers dubbed Deborah Kerr’s voice with Nixon’s. “I was brought in and had to follow along with her, getting her diction and acting style,” Nixon recalled in 2004. “She in turn would study how I looked when I hit the high notes.” Nixon did the same for Natalie Wood in 1961’s “West Side Story” and Audrey Hepburn in 1964’s “My Fair Lady,” which had starred Julie Andrews onstage. Earlier, she added a few notes to Marilyn Monroe’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend,” from “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.”

She went uncredited in the films and on their soundtrack albums and was warned by the filmmakers that if she ever let it be known that she was doing the singing, “they would run me out of town.” Word began to leak out, however, and Kerr herself blew Nixon’s cover when she praised her work on “The King and I.” By the late 1960s, The Hollywood Reporter was joking that “they found out who was doing [talking horse] Mr. Ed’s voice on the television show; it was Marni Nixon’s horse.” Nixon also appeared before the cameras in 1965, in a small role as a nun in “The Sound of Music,” and provided the singing voice of Grandmother Fa in the 1998 animated film “Mulan.’” She had landed her role in “West Side Story” after Wood’s voice proved inadequate for the challenging Leonard Bernstein score. She prepared for

Dane was born July 7, 1935, in Gudura Gracac, Lika, to the parents of Mile and Marija Sikic. Dane and Marija came to the United States, July 4, 1959, where they established U.S. citizenship and went into business for 25 years. During the time of owning and operating numerous bars and restaurants, Dane was also a member of the Iron Workers Union Local 444 in Joliet. He and his wife were longtime parishioners of St. Mary Nativity Catholic Church in Joliet. Dane was a proud member and the past president of the Croatian Cultural Club in Joliet, as well as a member of the CFU Lodge 18. Dane was a proud maker of wine and sljivovica, enjoyed his Croatian Tambura music and loved roasting lambs and chickens at any Croatian function. Dane was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather and brother who will be dearly missed.

it by studying Wood singing the role of Maria before the cameras – and had to then face the exacting task of getting her singing to match Wood’s on-screen lip movements. Hepburn, who had memorably sung “Moon River” in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” had campaigned to do her own singing as Eliza Doolittle in “My Fair Lady.” She was able to handle the film’s early cockney-accented songs like “Wouldn’t It Be Loverly,” but Nixon – again carefully matching Hepburn’s vocal style – had to be called in for such soaring melodies as “I Could Have Danced All Night.” Both Wood and Hepburn, Nixon wrote, worked hard to learn the songs, and their singing was recorded in hopes that Nixon’s voice would be needed only to fill in on difficult passages. But that was not to be.

STATE

By JOHN O’CONNOR and SOPHIA TAREEN The Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD – High-profile Republican Ron Sandack has resigned from the Illinois House after saying he faced unspecified “cyber-security issues.” Sandack, the vocal floor leader for the GOP minority in the House, would not comment beyond a statement Sunday that his resignation was effective immediately. “It has been a tremendous honor and privilege to serve the people of the 81st District for the past four years in Springfield,” Sandack said in a statement issued by the Republican leader’s office. “But after some cyber-security issues arose, I began to re-evaluate my continued public service.” The lawmaker from Downers Grove, 20 miles west of Chicago, did not return phone or text messages from The Associated Press on Monday. Sandack, who as floor leader was the face of the House Republicans during an ongoing political feud over a state budget that began 18 months ago, was a voracious user of social media such as Facebook and Twitter. But accounts on both had been removed Monday. An account on the photo-driven platform Instagram under the screen name

Illinois state Rep. Ron Sandack, R-Downers Grove, speaks to reporters June 30 at the state Capitol in Springfield. In a statement Sunday, Sandack said he’s resigning from the Illinois House, citing “cyber-security issues.” “sandackrond95b,” which identified the user as an Illinois state representative, remained, but had no posts and no followers.

ILLINOIS ROUNDUP

Illinois delegates agree with DNC chairwoman resignation

CHICAGO – Illinois delegates agree with Democratic chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s decision to resign from the leadership post after the Democratic National Convention. The Florida congresswoman is stepping down as chairwoman following hacked emails suggesting the DNC favored Hillary Clinton in the presidential primaries against Bernie Sanders. Illinois House Deputy Majority Leader Lou Lang is a Clinton delegate. He said the emails are dramatic, but they’ll be a “small glitch” in the end. He called resigning a “wise decision.” Chicago Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa is a Sanders delegate. He said the resignation was “the correct step,” though it should’ve occurred earlier. Both delegates believe the party can be unified. Lang said it’s important for Sanders to reiterate Clinton support. Ramirez-Rosa said he’ll vote for Clinton, but she needs to reinforce opposition to

opponent. He was the GOP’s representative on the nationally televised “The Daily Show” in June when the program examined the impact of the budget meltdown. “You take a lot of hits in this job,” Palatine Republican Sen. Matt Murphy said. “Was this the final straw? I guess in this case, it was.” In Sunday’s statement, Sandack, a partner in a Chicago law firm, said his decision was also driven by missed time with his family, a factor Minority Leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs said was mentioned when the two spoke Sunday. “He stated that his decision to resign was personal and for the benefit of his family,” Durkin said by text message to the AP. “I respect Ron’s decision and will miss him as a colleague and friend.” Republican leaders have 30 days to name a replacement for Sandack’s seat. He was up for re-election in November against Democratic attorney Greg Hose, a Downers Grove Village Council member. The incumbent had more than three times the campaign cash on hand as did Hose. According to Illinois State Board of Elections records, Sandack had $128,000 in the bank as of June 30, compared with $34,000 for Hose, who said he was surprised by the announcement.

Illinois governor renews call for term limits

CHICAGO – Gov. Bruce Rauner is renewing his call for term limits and said the General Assembly should vote on the idea in the fall. Rauner delivered a campaign-style speech Monday in Chicago. Relying on a teleprompter, he spoke for less than 10 minutes and wouldn’t take reporters’ questions. The first-term Republican said Illinois politics needs new ideas and faces. He said he’ll be pushing term limits during a two-day state tour. Rauner backed term limits in his 2014 gubernatorial campaign, but a judge found a signature-driven ballot question was unconstitutional. The same judge also threw out a measure proposing changes to how the state draws its political boundaries A revamped redistricting measure is pending review by the Illinois Supreme Court after a Cook County judge found it unconstitutional for November’s ballot.

Former Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., takes the stage Monday during the first day of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.

After turmoil, Sanders, Michelle Obama, Warren thrill convention By JULIE PACE and KEN THOMAS The Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA – Ending months of animosity, Bernie Sanders robustly embraced his former rival Hillary Clinton Monday night as a champion for the same economic causes that enlivened his supporters, signaling it was time for them, too, to rally behind the Democratic nominee in the campaign against Republican Donald Trump. “Any objective observer will conclude that – based on her ideas and her leadership – Hillary Clinton must become the next president of the United States,” he declared in a headlining address on the opening night of the Democratic convention. President Bill Clinton, watching from the audience, leapt to his feet and applauded, as did most of the delegates filling the convention arena. Sanders joined a high-wattage lineup of speakers, including first lady Michelle Obama who delivered a forceful, impassioned defense of the Democratic nominee. Mrs. Obama’s address all but wiped away earlier tumult in the convention hall that had exposed lingering tensions between Clinton and Sanders supporters. “I want someone with the proven strength to persevere, someone who knows this job and takes it seriously, someone who understands the issues a president faces are not black and white,” Mrs. Obama said. Referring to Trump’s penchant for tweeting, she said of the presiden-

cy: “It cannot be boiled down to 140 characters.” While Sanders had endorsed Clinton previously, his remarks Monday marked his most vigorous and detailed praise of her qualifications for the presidency. It came at a crucial moment for Clinton’s campaign, on the heels of leaked emails suggesting the party had favored the former secretary of state through the primaries despite a vow of neutrality. Sanders scored the resignation of party chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a nemesis in the primaries, but that wasn’t enough to quell the anger of supporters. As the convention opened, they still erupted in chants of “Bernie” and booed Clinton the first several times her name was mentioned. Outside the convention hall, several hundred marched down Philadelphia’s sweltering streets with signs carrying messages such as “Never Hillary.” By the time Sanders took the stage for the night’s closing address, much of the anger had been overshadowed by speeches promoting party unity. Sanders did his part, imploring his supporters to consider a country under Trump’s leadership. Sanders spoke just after Massachusetts. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a favorite of liberals who has emerged as one of the Democrats’ toughest critics of Trump. “Donald Trump has no real plans for jobs, for college kids, for seniors,” she said in the keynote address. “No plans to make anything great for anyone except rich guys like Donald Trump.”

BUSINESS

Dear Mr. Berko: Our beautiful 27-year-old son, who started school in 2008, owes $87,000 in student loans and has three more semesters to go to complete his degree in English literature. He loves Shakespeare and hopes to teach literature at the high-school or college level. He needs about $31,000 to complete his bachelor’s degree. He wants to consolidate this $31,000 with the $87,000 he owes so he can make one payment, but he needs us to co-sign on his loan. Our stockbroker thinks we shouldn’t co-sign and recommends that we sell $31,000 worth of losers in our portfolio to finance the completion of our son’s schooling. We have enclosed our portfolio and would appreciate your selling advice, too. This is beginning to drive us a little crazy. – BR, Rochester, Minn. Dear BR: They say insanity is hereditary. We get it from our children! In 2007, $510 billion in student loans was outstanding, and that amount may triple to $1.5 trillion this year. When the government funds a program or service, the costs explode – usually exceeding the funding limits – and the quality of the program or

service implodes. Good examples are public schools, food stamps, home mortgages, Medicaid, college courses and Supplemental Security Income. You won’t like my response, but a beautiful 27-year-old son who loves William Shakespeare (a bloody bore to read) and needs a year and a half to get a Bachelor of Arts is a bad investment. The national appetite for Shakespeare at the high-school or college level is dismal. And I wouldn’t hesitate a Minnesota minute wagering my two 1916-D Mercury dimes to a road apple that your beautiful 27-year-old son would eventually leave you with a huge unpaid balance on that loan if you were to co-sign. Sons, daughters, nieces and nephews find it much easier to default on loans from a relative than from a bank or a private lender. And sometimes those family borrowers plan on it! At least once a month, a reader will complain that

he’s hounded by his kid’s student loan, that he gets dinnertime calls from lenders seeking payment or that his credit has been damaged. One father, who was pursued relentlessly to make good on his daughter’s $116,000 loan, liquidated a retirement annuity, paid a 7 percent early-out penalty and then had to sue his daughter for recovery (and lose) in order to deduct some of the loss from his gross income. Then his accountant advised the daughter that she had to pay federal taxes on the $116,000 loan forgiveness, which is treated as income. Don’t sign a consolidated loan; that would be retirement suicide for you. I’d go one step further: Don’t give that kid $31,000 to complete his B.A. You’re probably pouring good money down a black hole. That kid needs a master’s degree to teach at the highschool level and a doctorate to teach at the college level. And at his learning rate, those degrees could take a dozen or more years. Meanwhile, many of today’s student borrowers believe that the government will forgive their student loans in the next 10 to 15 years. No pun intended, but they’re banking on it because they

feel entitled. Isn’t that wonderful? Your wise broker has given you good advice. The three issues he’d have you liquidate are the same issues I’d sell: General Motors, Bank of America and 3D Systems. General Motors (GM-$28) may sell a lot of cars this year, though the consensus for 2017 isn’t so sanguine. Most consumers are so borrowed out that they can’t come up with $1,000 in an emergency. Subprime delinquencies are rising in auto land; they’re especially high in Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, California and Texas. Shambling and lumbering Bank of America (BAC-$13) is too big to fail and too big to be successful. The quickest way to get BAC back to $26 would be a 1-for-2 reverse split and then firing current management and replacing the board of directors. 3D Systems (DDD-$13), once one of Wall Street’s hottest stocks, is having profit problems, and its recovery doesn’t look good. Plus, the competition is fierce.

Desperately seeking drivers, Uber and Lyft offer car options By SARAH SKIDMORE SELL The Associated Press

No car? No problem for ride sharing companies like Uber and Lyft. These companies are offering rentals, leases and financing deals aimed at getting more drivers on the road. After all, the more drivers they sign up, the more rides are available and the more money they make. But critics say drivers are paying high and even predatory prices. “The lease terms are awful, you could buy the car for what they are being leased for, or maybe even less,” said Greg McBride, chief financial analyst at Bankrate, of Uber’s Xchange leasing program. The deals have also caught some regulators’ attention. The California Public Utilities Commission is probing whether some of these leasing and renting arrangements run afoul of its requirement that ride share drivers use a “personal vehicle.” Uber and Lyft say these programs serve people who are eager to work for a ride sharing company but do not have a vehicle or don’t have one that qualifies. Requirements of many tra-

ditional leases, such as mileage limits or long-term contracts, don’t work well for their drivers. Dee Taylor of Houston, who says she was unemployed when she stumbled on Uber’s Xchange, is among the satisfied customers. The program offers would-be drivers a three-year lease on an Uber-approved car for a $250 fee plus weekly payments deducted from their pay. Xchange provides unlimited miles, maintenance and allows drivers to get out of the lease after 30 days, with twoweek’s notice. Taylor pays $160 a week for a slightly used Ford Escape. That’s well above what she would pay in a typical lease or loan, but Taylor says there’s no way she would have qualified because of her credit score and lack of income. And it got her back to work: she now brings home an average $700 a week with four days of work. “All I have to do is work one day [a week] and this car is mine,” Taylor said. “It’s like a blessing and I don’t even go to church.” Uber says it launched its vehicle solutions program because about 15 percent of the people who signed up

to drive lacked a qualifying vehicle. It now offers weekly rentals, flexible leases, traditional leases and purchase discounts through certain automakers. At the end of 2015, more than 50,000 people had used one of those services and Uber expects that number to double this year. Still, the program has had its issues. A leasing partnership with a U.S. arm of Banco Santander was criticized for its prices and practices. Uber ended the arrangement but not before it left some scars. Ousmane Abdoulaye of Maryland had recently moved to the U.S. from Africa when he leased a car through the Santander program in 2014. He paid $1,000 upfront, plus faced monthly payments of $870. But after two weeks he was deactivated by Uber as a driver due to poor customer feedback. With no job or way to make payments, Abdoulaye says he could not get anyone at Uber or the dealership to help him give the car back. Meanwhile, he began getting calls from a creditor for the payments due. Ultimately, with help from the state Office of Consumer Protection, he returned the car and terminated the

contract. He now works as a landscaper but recalling the incident still gets him mad. “I never want to hear about Uber ever again,” he said. New programs to match drivers with cars continue to pop up. Lyft’s Express Drive rental program, launched in March through a partnership with GM, now operates in four cities. It’s a weekly rental, available for up to eight weeks. It costs $99 a week, plus a fee for mileage. But if you drive enough, the mileage fee is waived and if you drive even more, you pay nothing. Uber and Lyft declined to say how much money they earn from these deals. Uber said its focus is getting drivers on the road, while Lyft said its program was designed in a way that “makes sense” for Lyft, GM and the drivers. Carlos Correa could have qualified for a traditional loan or lease but instead opted to sign up for Lyft’s Express Drive because he drove enough for costs to be waived. Other programs cost too much, he felt. Correa used to drive his own car for Lyft but decided he prefers to put the wear and tear of his work on another vehicle.

Plainfield South’s A.J. Manucci (6) is safe at home to tie the game against Brother Rice on Monday at the IHSBCA Phil Lawler Summer State Tournament championship game held at Schaumburg Boomers Stadium. South won 3-2.

PHIL LAWLER SUMMER STATE BASEBALL TOURNAMENT CHAMPIONSHIP: PLAINFIELD SOUTH 3, BROTHER RICE 2

COUGARS ARE NO. 1

Plainfield South scores in bottom of 7th to claim summer state title By DICK GOSS

dgoss@shawmedia.com SCHAUMBURG – If you didn’t previously believe the Plainfield South baseball team was in a refuse-to-lose mode, it’s time to take another look. Trey Stewart scored the winning run on a bases-loaded wild pitch in the bottom of the seventh inning Monday night to give the Cougars a 3-2 victory over Brother Rice in the

championship game of the Illinois High School Baseball Coaches Association Phil Lawler Summer State Tournament at Boomers Stadium. The game was suspended in the bottom of the third inning last Thursday night because of storms. It resumed about 94 hours later with score tied, 1-1, and it was nothing short of a fingernail-biter the rest of the way. South (17-3) fell behind, 2-1, in the top of the fifth inning and was facing

Brother Rice ace Ryan Kutt. “Given who they had on the mound, I was wondering how we were going to get back even,” South coach Phil Bodine said. “But these kids didn’t worry about it. They were confident.” In the bottom of the fifth, South’s Antonio Gutierrez drilled a long twoout double over the head of right fielder Kendall Pettis. Bodine wanted a pinch runner, but had difficulty ar-

riving at one. “I was going down the bench,” he said. “No, no, no, no. Manucci? He sounds a little faster.” So junior A.J. Manucci ran for Gutierrez and indeed was just fast enough. On Marco Escobar’s single to center on an 0-2 pitch, he scored the tying run as he flew around the tag of catcher Jake Ridgway.

GOLF: JOLIET JUNIOR AMATEUR TOURNAMENT

By CURT HERRON

cherron@shawmedia.com JOLIET – The last few weeks of the summer have been very good ones for Parker Govern. He won iTour tournaments at Wedgewood and Heritage Bluffs to wrap up the iCup points standings and also claimed the B division of the Joliet Park District’s Junior Tournament.

On Monday, the Plainfield South junior moved one step closer to adding another title to those recent successes when he claimed the lead at the halfway mark of the Joliet Junior Amateur Tournament at Woodruff Golf Course. Govern fired a 72 to grab a fivestroke lead over former Lincoln-Way East player Victor Perez-Luna, who was last year’s JPD Junior A division champion.

Kalvin Fellows and Tanner McClintock both turned in scores of 87 and are tied for third place after the first day of play. Meanwhile, things are much tighter in the B division, where the top four golfers were separated by just four strokes at the midpoint. Nick Blazen shot an 83 to grab the first-day lead by one stroke over Ryan Bell, while Luke Petrovic was third with an 85 and Creighton Karner fired

an 86 to settle for fourth place. The opening-round results for the girls tournament was unavailable since they finished long after the boys did. Joliet Central freshman Maddy Palmer, the winner of the JPD Junior A division title, was looking to continue her successful summer campaign. The tournament ends on Tuesday with 18 more holes scheduled for the historic 90-year-old course on Joliet’s far east side.

“I told myself I had to come through in the clutch,” said Escobar, who made the 24-hour drive from Florida, where he was playing with his travel team, to get to Boomers Stadium for the resumption of the title game. “He left a fastball up, and I got it.” “Marco told me he would have run here if he had to,” Bodine said. “He wanted to be in on this.” Another Cougar who returned from afar was shortstop Nick Mayerhofer. He made several strong plays at shortstop, including two in the top of the seventh to throw out Brother Rice’s speed burners, Kendall Pettis and Mike Bolton. “Everyone was telling me who their two fastest guys are,” Mayerhofer said. “I knew I had to charge it. Just see the ball and react.” The South defense in general came up large behind senior right-hander Austin Marozas. He wound up pitching a complete game, albeit over two days, and earned the tournament MVP award. Mayerhofer, Konnor Ash, Jordan Mikel and Justin McGuigan also represented the Cougars on the all-tournament team. Mayerhofer woke up at 4 am. and took a 6 o’clock flight back from Arizona, where his travel team was playing. His parents still were in Arizona and were texting with Bodine to catch up on what was happening. After Escobar’s hit tied the game, Marozas faced only six batters in the sixth and seventh innings combined. In the bottom of the seventh, Nick Enloe bounced an infield single up the middle leading off, and he stole second on the first pitch to Ash. “My focus was to get on base and get the winning run in,” Enloe said. “I was going on the first pitch because I knew I had to get on second.” Ash’s productive out, a groundball to the right side, moved Enloe to third. Brother Rice elected to walk Trey Stewart and Gutierrez intentionally to fill the bases.

Govern leads Joliet Junior Amateur at midpoint

Plainfield South’s team members celebrate with the trophy on Monday after the 3-2 win over Brother Rice at the IHSBCA Phil Lawler Summer Tournament championship held at Schaumburg Boomers Stadium. Escobar rapped a hard ground ball to the shortstop, and Ryan King turned it into a force at home for the second out. On the first pitch to Brad Roberts, Kutt’s delivery went into the dirt and escaped Ridgway, allowing Stewart to score the winning run. The dog pile of Cougars ensued. “It would have been nice to get a hit and end the game there in the seventh inning, but there was nothing wrong with the way it happened,” Escobar smiled. Marozas, who decommitted from Mississippi State during the day and is looking to pitch closer to home, finished with a four-hitter. He struck out six, walked four and hit one batter. “Marozas was struggling a little,” Bodine said. “The ball was running on him. He didn’t have his usual command, but he is good enough to overcome it. “God bless that we were able to get

that wild pitch and end it.” Marozas said he knew he would be returning to the mound Monday. “I knew Kutt was going to be throwing for them, but I was not nervous at all,” he said. “We knew all along the best team would pull it out. Our infield was excellent. They were all true to their position.” Marozas, who also beat Lyons, 3-2, to open the state tournament, said that even though he was restarting his game in the top of the fourth inning, he did not change anything. “It was still a matter of throwing strikes and our offense hitting the ball,” he said. “I just feel blessed that I got this (MVP) award. All our guys did the job.” When the game resumed Monday in the bottom of the third, South had scored a run in the inning to tie the game, 1-1. Escobar was first up, pinch-hitting for Cody Phillips with the bases loaded and

one out. He was facing Zach Litke, who had walked in from the bullpen and thrown his warmup pitches just before the game was suspended Thursday. Litke induced a 6-4-3 double play from Escobar on a 2-2 pitch. “It was a very disappointing start,” Escobar said. Both teams had chances to score more along the way, but could not get the big hit. South stranded two runners in each of the first four innings. Brother Rice left two in the first and the bases loaded in the fourth. “They are a great, great team,” Bodine said of Brother Rice. “But this was one game, and our kids got it done. I wish we could have taken advantage of our early opportunities, but it worked out. “We’re so proud of these guys. Winning the summer is not an easy thing by any means.”

26 SLAMMERS

Slammers face critical stretch of home games VIEWS Curt Herron

Things were looking very encouraging for the Joliet Slammers on the Fourth of July, when they moved 10 games over .500 and took a four-game lead for first place in the Frontier League’s East Division over Washington. But they dropped their next five games heading into the all-star break. Then after winning their next two games, they went on another five-game losing streak before bouncing back with a 7-4 victory at Florence on Sunday. The 3-10 run dropped the Slammers to 31-28 on the season, which is still good for a 1.5 game lead over Washington for the division’s top spot. But the bad news is that a number of other East Division squads have been able to get back into the picture, notably Windy City, which is 2.5 games back, and Lake Erie, which is 3.5 games out. And a good week could move Schaumburg and Traverse City into the mix. With Southern Illinois (42-17) rolling along and Evansville (34-25) also appearing to be in a good position to earn one of the league’s four playoff berths, the other two spots are up for grabs, with the East Division champion assured of getting one of them. The division winners receive the top two seeds, so if an East Division team wants to avoid meeting the league’s best squad in the opening-round, they’d better win the title. One of the major things that the Slammers had going for them during a stretch where they went 20-7 after an 8-11 start was consistent starting pitching. Manager Jeff Isom’s squad has possessed one of the league’s top offenses all season and also features one of the best defenses, as well as aggressive baserunning. But if the team’s starting pitching fails to consistently get in strong starts deep into games, it puts an extra burden on the bullpen, which happened during both recent losing streaks. Before Shane Bryant’s successful effort on Sunday, Joliet had a run of five-straight starts where only one pitcher reached the sixth inning and they allowed more than a run a frame. The team’s ERA now stands at 5.05, which ranks behind only Florence (5.36) as the highest in the league. Five teams in the Frontier League have ERA below 4.00. Liam O’Sullivan (6-0, 2.94 ERA) is the lone starter with an ERA below

ABOVE: The Joliet Slammers’ Shane Bryant throws on July 19 against Southern Illinois at Silver Cross Field. BELOW: The Slammers’ Carter Bell fields a ground ball for the out at first base on July 17 against Florence at Silver Cross Field. 4.60. The Slammers currently have two starters with ERA over 5.00 and four relievers with significant innings who have ERA of 4.70 or higher. Offensively, the Slammers rank second in runs (326), home runs (59) and RBI (301) and are third in hits (547). Their .978 fielding percentage also ranks third in the league, with Casey Fletcher committing no errors and Charlie White and Phil Bates having just one each. Carter Bell is third in both average (.338) and RBI (50), while Marc Flores ranks fifth in RBI (47) and is tied for fifth in home runs (11). This next stretch of games is obviously huge for the Slammers. They play three-game home series against Evansville and River City this week and then have a three-game series with Normal, which will also be at Silver Cross Field. They need to make the most of these nine home games, since they’ll only play 10 more games at Silver Cross Field during the last four weeks. The Slammers have to make up the postponed game with Washington and last week’s suspended contest against Southern Illinois on the road since

those squads won’t make another trip to Joliet. After finishing on average 17 games under .500 and 20 games out of first during the four seasons since they won the Frontier League title in 2011, the Slammers definitely don’t appear to be headed to that type of season this year. But missing out on a playoff appear-

ance would be equally disappointing, especially since the East Division could be had by a team with the least number of wins since Rockford claimed the West Division title with 49 victories in 2006.

CREST HILL – The Crest Hill Pony (13-14) All-Stars are on their way to Bay City, Michigan. Crest Hill won the Region tournament it hosted to punch its ticket to the North Zone at Bay City beginning Thursday with a noon game against Wayne, Michigan. The other two opponents in pool play are Bay City at 8:30 p.m. Friday and Eastern Illinois at noon Saturday. The semifinals and finals will be played Sunday, with the winner advancing to the Pony World Series at Washington, Pa. The Zone semifinalists are the top two finishers from each of the two pools. Crest Hill has a 13-1 overall record. Manager Joe Marshall’s team began the All-Star competition going 6-0 in winning the Wood Dale Invitational. They were 4-1 in the Whiteford Invitational, losing the title game, 6-2, to the Crest Hill 13-year-old Pony All-Stars. In the Region tournament, Crest Hill went 3-0 with two victories over Oak Park and one over St. Joe’s. A key piece will be missing for Crest Hill at Bay City. Third baseman and top hitter Michael Mumme has a family va-

infielder/pitcher Devin Croin .333, infielder/outfielder/pitcher Josh Cunniff . 290, catcher/first baseman/pitcher Ryan Highland .275 and outfielder Edgar Rodriguez .357. Outfielder/infielder Mason Craig rounds out the roster. Jason Craig is Marshall’s coach, and Marshall’s wife, Donna, is the business manager. The Crest Hill team is young with six 13-year-olds and seven 14-year-olds. This is its fifth trip to the Bay City Zone, the others in 2007, 2011, 2012 and 2015. “We’ve been light on 14-year-olds the last two years, but we have some pretty good 13s,” Marshall said. Last year, Crest Hill led a Zone game, 11-3, in the fifth inning and wound up losing, 12-11, in eight innings. “Everybody was devastated after that one,” Marshall said. It was the first time one of Marshall’s teams had lost with that big of a lead and the second time in his 37 years of coaching that one of his teams lost while scoring 10 or more runs. The five 13-year-olds from last year are back and looking for a better result. “We’ll see what happens,” Marshall said. “The competition is really good up there.”

Busch hoping to use big Brickyard weekend for momentum By MICHAEL MAROT The Associated Press

INDIANAPOLIS – Kyle Busch used his first Brickyard 400 victory as a springboard to his first Sprint Cup title. He’s trying to make sure it happens again. Another dominant weekend at Indianapolis sent Busch home with a historic sweep, a reputation for having tamed Indianapolis’ tricky 2.5-mile oval and plenty of momentum heading into the chase. “To come out of here, at a place this hard to race and be able to have two years like this, I think, is really special,” team owner and Super Bowl-winning coach Joe Gibbs said. “That’s a tribute to him, the team and (crew chief) Adam Stevens.” If Busch keeps driving this well, he’ll be impossible to catch. He posted the fastest laps in both of Friday’s practices, the best speed in two of the three rounds of Cup qualifying Saturday and led a record 149 laps in the double overtime race that went 10 laps longer than the scheduled 160. Busch also won the Xfinity Series race from the pole while leading all but one lap, and the first of two heat races. It’s the first time a NASCAR driver has captured two poles and two wins on the same weekend, and he joined Jimmie Johnson as the only back-toback winners of the Brickyard. Johnson finished third Sunday. Busch was so strong at Indianapolis, that he overshadowed Jeff Gordon in his comeback and Tony Stewart in his farewell race on their home track. Now Busch is looking to replicate the aftermath of last year’s two-race Indy sweep – building off the momentum at Pocono as the title quest nears. “I thought last year the momentum did carry over,” he said. “We won this race and then we were running right behind Joey Logano for much of the last stint at Pocono, and we thought we had just enough fuel to make it. We didn’t. We ran out.” Here are some other things learned from Sunday’s race: Fond farewell: Gordon and Stewart both missed out on top-10 finishes. Stewart wound up 11th after a late speeding penalty on pit road. Gordon, who replaced the injured Dale Earnhardt Jr., wound up 13th in his season debut. And after the race, Stewart and Gordon – two Indiana drivers who were once rivals – took one final, slow lap around the track together to thank their home-state fans. Strong effort: Busch won the race,

Matt Kenseth, the New Hampshire winner, was second, 2.126 seconds behind Busch. Denny Hamlin overcame a speeding penalty to finish fourth. Carl Edwards looked like he would have a top-five finish before crashing late in the race. Nothing’s safe: While Busch clearly had the dominant car, the closing laps made him nervous. There were three restarts with less than 10 laps to go and each time, Busch managed to pull away and hold on for the win. He just wasn’t happy about it. “I certainly didn’t want one, let alone five of them or however many we had.” Second act: Busch’s brother, Kurt, already has raced in the Indianapolis 500. After winning each of the last four NASCAR races at Indy, the twotime Brickyard winner was asked if he wanted to follow his brother’s lead and try the 500. “Well, I won’t be following in his footsteps. I’ll be doing my own footsteps. It certainly may open some avenues, I’m not sure.” Penske problem: Roger Penske has won more May races at Indianapolis than any team owner. He still doesn’t have a Brickyard win. With Busch’s car so strong, Penske’s two drivers relied on a strategy of stretching out their fuel to make one fewer pit stop. It didn’t work against Busch, either. Logano finished seventh. Brad Keselowski was 17th.

New York Yankees relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman delivers during the ninth inning against the Boston Red Sox on July 17. season and could be sought by contenders. Chapman quickly turned into one of baseball’s most dominant relievers when he broke into the majors in 2010 with Cincinnati. He threw the 62 fastest pitches in the major leagues last season, ranging from 103.92 to 102.36 mph. Chapman saved 146 games with a 2.17 ERA in six years with the Reds before he was traded to New York last December after a deal with the Los Angeles Dodgers fell through when it was learned Florida police investigated an accusation of domestic violence involving the Cuban pitcher. Prosecutors declined to file charges, citing conflicting accounts, and Chapman was suspended for the first 29 games of the season, losing $1,856,557 of his $11,325,000 salary. He was the first player penalized a finite number of games under Major League Baseball’s domestic violence policy. “I regret that I did not exercise better judgment, and for that I am truly sorry,” Chapman said in a team statement Monday. “Looking back, I feel I have learned from this matter and have grown as a person. My girlfriend and I have worked hard to strengthen our relationship, to raise our daughter together, and would appreciate the opportunity to move forward without revisiting an event we consider part of our past.” Chapman and Cubs first baseman Anthony Rizzo also got into a heated argument in the ninth inning of a July 2014 game, but Rizzo said last month he was fine with the idea of acquiring the reliever as the Cubs try to reach the World Series, which it hasn’t won since 1908. The Yankees also received minor league outfielders Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford in the trade for Chapman. McKinney, a first-round pick in the 2013 draft, was acquired along with All-Star shortstop Addison Russell in the 2014 deal that sent pitchers Jeff Samardzija and Jason Hammel to Oakland.

CHICAGO – The Cubs acquired hard-throwing reliever Aroldis Chapman in a trade with the New York Yankees on Monday, giving the NL Central leaders a boost as they try for their first World Series title in more than a century. The Cubs paid a steep price, parting with top shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres and versatile pitcher Adam Warren in the four-player package going to the Yankees. Chapman also faced a domestic violence allegation in the offseason that cost him a 29-game suspension, and the left-hander is eligible for free agency after this year. But there is no doubting the talent of the 28-year-old Chapman, who went 3-0 with a 2.01 ERA and 20 saves in 31 games with New York. He threw a 105.1 mph fastball to Baltimore’s J.J. Hardy last Monday night, matching the fastest since Major League Baseball began tracking speeds in 2008. With lefty-batting sluggers Bryce Harper of Washington and Brandon Belt of San Francisco possibly looming in the playoffs, the addition of Chapman gives manager Joe Maddon one of the majors’ top assets when in need of a late strikeout. “Obviously, we are aware of the circumstances surrounding Aroldis Chapman’s suspension earlier this season,” Cubs Chairman Tom Ricketts said. “I shared with him the high expectations we set for our players and staff both on and off the field. Aroldis indicated he is comfortable with meeting those expectations.” New York had won six of eight heading into Monday night’s game at Houston, but it still faces long odds of getting to the playoffs. All-Stars Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances are still at the back of the bullpen, allowing the Yankees to trade Chapman now and still consider trying for the postseason depending on how they fare ahead of the Aug. 1 non-waiver trade deadline. The Yankees made the decision to trade Chapman after his agents said he would not agree to a new contract that would start in 2017, a person familiar with the talks said. The person spoke on the condition of anonymity because no public statement on those talks was authorized. If New York slips back any further, it could engage in a rare sell-off for the franchise. Miller, who is signed through 2018, also could be traded. Outfielder Carlos Beltran, first baseman Mark Teixeira and pitcher Ivan Nova are eligible for free agency after the

BEARS TRAINING CAMP POSITION ANALYSIS: SPECIAL TEAMS

Return battle will be key story line By KEVIN FISHBAIN

kfishbain@profootballweekly.com During the first month of the 2015 season, the Bears’ coverage teams were a disaster, and Robbie Gould was automatic. In the second half of the season, the Bears covered kicks and punts as well as anyone and got a boost on kickoff returns from Deonte Thompson, but Gould had some crucial misses. This offseason, the Bears brought back several members of the special teams and hope to build off the successes seen late last year. Three things to watch on special teams in training camp: The return competition: It’s Year Three following the Devin Hester era and the Bears enter training camp hoping to find answers in the return game. Last year, Deonte Thompson joined the team late and averaged 29.2 yards per return, including a 74-yarder. He provided a breakaway speed element the team needed, and he’s back to reclaim that spot.

Plainfield woman’s chronic illness draining her resources By DENISE M. BARAN–UNLAND dunland@shawmedia.com

PLAINFIELD – But you have good jobs – and health insurance! It’s a frustrating response that people fighting long-term debilitating illnesses sometimes hear. But the challenges of ongoing medical issues often go beyond the issues themselves. That’s what Ann Zigrossi of Plainfield wants people who may not have experienced those issues to understand. Zigrossi herself never fully understood them until she became sick. Or, as she said in a written statement: “We are good, kind, caring and giving people who are facing an unexpected, and long-term crisis that has challenged us in ways we never thought would occur.” Zigrossi said she is one of those people who had a good job and good insurance until she was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis and a pancreatic mass in 2009, a scary diagnosis. Zigrossi’s father had died the previous year from cancer of the pancreas. After numerous visits to emergency rooms, teaching hospitals and medical centers; traveling across several states to locate doctors able to treat complex pancreas diseases; and many tests and surgical procedures, Zigrossi is now on disability, continues to receive care and may wind up on a feeding tube. She’s also facing a pancreatic auto transplantation that could further compromise her quality of life, she said. Zigrossi said this means surgeons would take islet cells from her pancreas and transplant them into her liver. “My parents used to stay if you don’t have your health, you don’t have anything,” Zigrossi said. “I believe them now.” Zigrossi said the emotional toll on the sick person, as well as family members, can be as taxing as the disease. One never knows when the next emergency will strike, and that uncertainty becomes the new normal. When the emergency does occur, there’s lost time from work, for the patient and the patient’s family members who become caregivers. These caregivers provide support at the hospital and transportation to yet another doctor appointment, test or procedure. It’s not always a day or two lost at a time, but sometimes weeks, Zigrossi said. Eventually, people run out of sick and vaca-

Terry and Ann Zigrossi of Plainfield, who call themselves a “Team of 2,” support each other through their health struggles.

KNOW MORE For information about Ann and Terry Zigrossi, visit www.gofundme.com/fnikns. tion days. They deplete their savings, and the lost income adds up and makes it hard for them to pay their bills. “You don’t have any concept of that until every stinking penny counts,” Zigrossi said. But it’s not just the income that shrinks. Expenses rise, even with the best health insurance. Insurance doesn’t cover travel costs while searching for the right specialists. It also doesn’t cover the cost of copying hundreds of pages of medical records. Because yes, Zigrossi said, ev-

ery new specialist wanted copies of the medical records. “Sometimes that’s as much as a dollar a page,” Zigrossi said. Zigrossi recalled when her home was shifted off its foundation during the 1990 Plainfield tornado and the resources available to help. But health crises are just as catastrophic, she said. That is true for anyone of any age affected by cancer or other diseases that cause morbidity, she said. And when resources are available, eligibility is often based on income, which doesn’t account for the lost days of income or the amount of money going out to meet the patient’s health care needs, she added. Zigrossi emphasized she is not complaining or feeling sorry for herself. “We know we are not alone,” Zi-

grossi said. “We know what other people are going through. I’m not worse off than anyone else, and I do count my blessings. But I want people to be aware. If I could help others, I would. If I won the lottery, I tell you ...” In the meantime, life goes on. While Zigrossi and her husband, Terry Zigrossi, have addressed Ann’s gastrointestinal issues, Terry’s had his own health concerns. These have included several surgeries, an injury that led to physical therapy, poorly controlled diabetes and some heart-related issues. In the midst of the struggles, the couple have even spent time at hospice and said a few goodbyes. “Between Terry and me, six people have died in our family since 2008,” Zigrossi said.

HEALTH BRIEFS MORRIS – Morris Hospital & Healthcare Centers has added occupational therapy services to its Ridge Road Campus, 27240 W. Saxony Drive in Channahon. Occupational therapy continues to be offered at the Diagnostic & Rehabilitative Center of Morris Hospital in Morris. Occupational therapy is especially helpful in the treatment of disorders of the upper extremity, including the hand, wrist, elbow or shoulder as a result of carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis or post-surgical conditions. Additionally, individuals who experience an accident, illness or stroke often participate in occupational therapy to help recover functions of daily life. A physician’s referral is required for both physical and occupational therapy. The therapists with Morris Hospital all provide one-on-one therapy sessions and stay in close communication with the referring physician. For information on physical or occupational therapy services at the Morris Hospital Ridge Road Campus, call 815-364-8919, ext. 7826.

JOLIET – Joliet Oncology-Hematology Associates announced that it is one of only three community oncology practices in the country recognized by the Conquer Cancer Foundation of the American Society of Clinical Oncology for its commitment to high-quality clinical trials programs. As a recipient of the Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO Clinical Trials Participation Award, JOHA is being honored for its contribution to the improvement of cancer care through clinical research in a community-based setting. Practices were selected to receive the award based on several criteria, which emphasize high patient accrual in clinical trials by overcoming barriers to enrollment. Preference also was given to practices with clinical trials programs that serve and connect with underrepresented populations in their communities. Dr. Kulumani Sivarajan, JOHA research principal investigator and Karen Sceniak, JOHA research manager, reported that in 2015, 91 patients enrolled in clinical trials at JOHA, and that ongoing trials continue to further this commitment to high-quality research in more than five disease types. The Clinical Trials Participation Award is funded through the Conquer Cancer Foundation of ASCO with the generous support of the Coalition of Cancer Cooperative Groups, which has supported the award since it was established in 2003. For information regarding clinical trial participation at JOHA, contact the Research Department at 815-725-1355, or visit www.jolietoncology.com for a complete list of available clinical trials.

If you don’t hesitate to share your thoughts and offer suggestions and solutions, advancement will be yours. Romance is encouraged.

Participate in matters that concern you instead of watching from the sidelines. Your efforts will draw positive attention. Personal gratification will be offered.

Don’t let emotions stand in the way of progress. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) – Adventure may tempt you but caution should take precedence. Too little planning and not enough attention paid to detail will result in regret.

A partnership will gain greater stability through carefree banter. Show how much you care. CANCER (June 21-July 22) – Take the time to appreciate what’s going on around you.

ASK DOCTOR K Anthony L. Komaroff check out your palpitations, particularly if they have become more frequent or severe in recent months. And if you’ve been having other symptoms, such as shortness of breath or chest pain, it’s even more important to get checked out. Assuming the doctor does not find anything serious behind your palpitations, you should feel reassured. But if you’re still bothered by unexplained palpitations, some simple changes may reduce both their frequency and intensity. Low blood sugar can trigger palpitations, so make a point of eating regularly. Drinking plenty of fluids and getting enough sleep also may help. Stress and anxiety are a source of palpitations in many people. If that is the case for you, breathing exercises, meditation or other relaxation techniques may do the trick. Nicotine can cause palpitations. So can alcohol and certain over-the-counter decongestant medications. When self-care measures aren’t enough, certain drugs may help prevent palpitations. Beta blockers that quell the effects of adrenaline on the heart can combat many types of fast heart rhythms. Some people may get relief with anti-anxiety medicines. Heart palpitations usually will turn out to be nothing serious and easy to fix. But sometimes the cause of the palpitations can be a serious condition. Don’t try to guess whether it’s serious; let your doctor make that decision. • 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 often experience heart palpitations – almost every time I’m excited, angry or scared. Is this dangerous to my health? Dear Reader: The word “palpitations” is used differently by different people. To me, palpitations are simply an awareness of your heart beating. People usually aren’t aware of their heart beating. But when it beats unusually forcefully, irregularly or rapidly, you notice the heartbeat. Most people feel their heart beating forcefully and rapidly during intensive exercise. But people who have never experienced heart palpitations at rest might not realize how frightening they can be. Certain conditions can make a person’s heart feel as if it is pounding, skipping or racing so fast it will explode from their chest. Palpitations during exercise occur because of a rush of adrenaline that courses through your body. This causes your heart to beat more forcefully and rapidly than usual. Adrenaline surges also can be generated by a strong emotion such as excitement, fear or anger. They also can come on after consuming a stimulant such as caffeine. Another common source of palpitations is premature contraction of the atria, the heart’s upper chambers. Sometimes these chambers pump a fraction of a second earlier than they should. Then they rest an instant longer afterward to get back to their usual rhythm. This feels like a skipped beat. It often is followed by a forceful contraction as the ventricles clear out the extra blood they accumulated during the pause. These premature beats almost always are harmless. The sensation of abnormal heartbeat can be a warning sign of a heart rhythm problem. Some of these heart rhythm problems are of no consequence. But others, unfortunately, can be very serious: They may lead to stroke, and even sudden death. So, you should ask your doctor to

your teeth, use deodorant and shower regularly, I’m as mystified about your wife’s behavior as you are. I know people who treat their dogs and cats better than this woman has been treating you. Your therapist has advised a separation, but I would go further than that. Because you don’t have a marriage, I think you should make it official. Dear Abby: I receive at least two or three telemarketing calls a day – and sometimes even more on Sundays. Can you please tell me what to do to put a stop to this? I have written once before to an address to curb this situation, but no luck. These calls come as late as 9 p.m. Thank you for any advice. – Stressed Out In Illinois Dear Stressed Out: I agree telemarketing calls are invasive when they come in multiples. The USA.gov Consumer Action Handbook includes a number you can call to restrict telemarketing calls permanently by registering your phone number. It is 888-382-1222. This also can be done at www.donotcall.gov. If you receive telemarketing calls after your number has been in the national registry for 31 days, you can file a complaint using the same web page and toll-free number. This will cut back on some of the calls you receive, but not all of them. Political organizations, charities and telephone surveyors with which you have a relationship still can get through. However, if you still find yourself being inundated, contact your phone provider and inquire about call-blocking 800 numbers.

Dear Abby: I DEAR ABBY have been married for almost Jeanne three years to Phillips a woman who refuses to share the same bed with me. It started on our honeymoon when, after having sex, she chose to sleep in a different bed. She’s in her late 40s and had never been married before. We have been intimate only twice in the last year. Moreover, she doesn’t let me sit next to her while we watch TV, and there is no kissing, no touching, no affection of any kind, physical or verbal. I have wracked my brain trying to figure out why she treats me like this, and I have a few suspicions. She’s applying for permanent residence status and might have married me only for that, although she denies it. She no longer can bear children, so she might think there is no point in having sex or being intimate. She might have an aversion to being touched, although she doesn’t show that when we’re out in public. She likes to hug her female friends. (And no, I don’t think she’s a lesbian.) Any love that existed between us is nearly gone at this point, so am I justified in getting a separation? We have been to counseling, and that is what the therapist recommended. –

Zeno, a Greek philosopher who is best known for his paradoxes, said, “The goal of life is living in agreement with nature.” The goal of a successful bridge partnership is to have agreements that both players remember and employ correctly. As I mentioned yesterday, it is great to have a well-oiled bidding system, but it will also pay dividends to discuss defense in depth. For the rest of this week, let’s look at some useful agreements to have. In this deal, how should the defenders card to defeat four spades after West leads the spade king? North has a middling game-invitational limit raise. Five trumps and a decent four-card side suit are good; the two queen-doubletons are not so hot. When a defender discards from a suit not yet led by either side, it is an attitude signal. Assuming you use standard signals (not upside-down), your lowest card in a suit says that you think your side would do better to lead a different suit. Alternatively, if you pitch an unnecessarily high card, you are asking partner to shift to that suit -- unless he knows better. In addition, if you can afford to signal with an honor-card, do so; even an unobservant partner will notice that. Here, East could signal with his heart jack, but much better and more fun is to place the heart ace -yes, the ace! -- onto the table. If you can afford to, when you cannot win the trick, play the top of touching honors. West will momentarily think that East has lost his mind, but then West will lead the heart eight and defeat the contract.
